brasilia based on this ruling, bolsonaro should be banned from running in the upcoming presidential elections in brazil. the reason for filing a case against the former president of brazil was the false information he had given about the electronic voting system and chemotherapy drugs in the united states before losing the presidential election last year. it has made the work of treating cancer patients difficult . according to the cbs report, hospitals across the united states are facing a shortage of 14 life-giving chemotherapy drugs . there is no time to waste, the medicine will be available for the rest of your treatment. there is no cure. a 61-year-old lady received a call from the doctor saying that the medicine has run out in the hospital. but you can't get the medicine. on your site, you ask the doctor about the consequences of delaying the treatment for the future of your disease. what can i tell you , my god, it's disappointing. we just hope that the treatment will be provided. patients like karaland receive medicine that works with palestine and the platinum system. there are simil

i'm talking tonight about brazil's former president, jair bolsonaro.rt formed a majority to block their former leader from running for office again until 2030. the tactics used between the brazilian leader and former president trump were very similar, including their shared claim of election fraud due to rigged voting machines when they both decidedly lost their elections. >>> also today on a friday afternoon before a holiday weekend, with little notice, the state department dropped its long-awaited report on america's withdrawal from afghanistan in the summer of 2021. the damning review lays the blame at both the feet of former president trump and president biden, claiming that both administrations are at fault for the chaotic drawdown. the report found, i'm quoting now, there was insufficient senior-level consideration of worst-case scenarios and how quickly those might follow. the white house's frenzied withdrawal garnered intense scrutiny from the right, while democrats, including some inside the white house, have pointed the finger at former presi

rise of certain political leaders in the world, including for example, trump in the united states, bolsonaro and in many extent. orban you can you sort of go around the world and find would you when you when you step back and you look at the rise of of those leaders in societies globally that are networked, that our, you know, we live in a thoroughly environment in which this is happening. how would you describe what's happening in terms of patriarchy in terms of the moment we're in right now? it is very disturbing and i think the rise these populist leaders has also mirrored the rise for example of anti abortion and legislation, not just here in the us, also in poland, for instance. but we have to understand each region territory in, its own context. so for example part of the reason that in eastern europe and in russia, you've seen the rise of these kind of strongmen, masculinist leaders who very much espouse this form of religious conservatism that is very threatening to gender rights, not just the rights of women, the rights of lgbtq people who are deeply opposed to so-called gender ideo

we saw this with bolsonaro in brazil.w this in the 20th century, fascist dictators and europe. it is not something that we can simply brush aside as simply talk. this is driven not only by his personal pathologies, but by the history of fascism and the sort of movement that makes him into a cult leader. >> matthew, let's go back. there has been a movement for the last several presidents, to get a little bit more presidential authority, right? take a little more under the executive branch. generally speaking, democrats or republicans don't mind when it's your guy doing it. you think it's okay, you certainly don't want the other guys president, the other peoples president taking more presidential power. we've done the same where people have not come out and yelled when the rift talks, hold, and that's not the way this was designed. you're not supposed to have these powers. to what degree is this a continuation of things that have already been, done or is this a great leap forward for what donald trump is supposedly planning

respond to this you know you have putin to start a world war war world war three and in brazil you had bolsonaro whose objective was to destroy the amazon and he destroyed a lot of it so even though the brazilians kicked him out a third of his already gone, i think that we have an existential crisis i'm sure that you've all heard that. i think this is really true. i the problem may be much worse than. we thought and i think as a society we must make as all human societies must make these changes right we're out of time. and i think that i can't overstate that. and i'm a basically positive, optimistic person. and i would like to say there is hope and we can change that i'm not so sure i think that the main thing is that we can make ourselves aware of the problems and the interconnectedness of all of this and try to make the changes. and i think that our own political system is not very responsive. the new chairman of the energy committee in, the senate is joe manchin, whose family fortune comes from fossil fuel. you know, like i said, the governor of ohio just declared that methane a green energy
