Uruguay avanzó el martes en tres proyectos de infraestructura con Brasil, que estaban pendientes hace años. En una reunión de ministros de Uruguay y Brasil celebrada en Brasilia, los gobiernos de los dos países anunciaron que en el plazo de un mes se abrirá una licitación para el dragado de la hidrovía de las lagunas Merín y De los Patos, una obra que correrá enteramente por cuenta de Brasil. Por otro lado, se acordó que en 60 días el Ministerio de Transporte de Brasil abrirá una licitación para la construcción de un nuevo puente entre las ciudades de Yaguarón, en Brasil, y Río Branco, en Uruguay. Nuestro país, en tanto, se encargará de rehabilitar el histórico puente Barón de Maúa, una vez que el nuevo cruce esté terminado. Además, se acordó la firma, para dentro de algunas semanas, del convenio por el cual el Aeropuerto de Rivera pasará a ser binacional. Se trata de proyectos que la administración de Luis Lacalle Pou había definido como prioritarios y que estuvieron sobre la mesa en la reunión que a fines de enero mantuvieron en Montevideo el mandatario uruguayo con Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva. ¿Qué importancia tienen estos anuncios? Conversamos con Juan José Olaizola, subsecretario de Transporte y Obras Públicas.
In the last episode, I talked with Juliano Benvindo about the similarities between the January 6th Capitol Insurrection and the more recent attack on all three branches of government in Brasilia. It turns out that Brazil has the greatest level of inequality in Latin America. Inequality in North America has also reached historic highs. It was bad enough that America had imported over 300,000 slaves from Africa. Brazil imported over 5 million. Inequality remains a serious problem for the 2 most populis Democracies in the Western Hemisphere, and that should alarm us all, especially when America is thought to be the leader of the free world. We might not think inequality is such a dangerous threat to our democracy when it is normalized by public policies, and an economic system based on profit, which is then reinforced by corporate donors and advertisers promoting a pretty lavish and carefree lifestyle. But, is it leading to the collapse of democracies around the world? Do Americans believe in equality anymore? I wanted to talk to someone who might give us a little insight into the history of inequality. Frances Chiu completed her doctorate in English Literature at Oxford University and currently teaches literature and history at The New School in New York City. She is the author of The Routledge Guidebook to Paine's Rights of Man (2020) and has written extensively for Occupy.com. She taught the first class in America devoted to Thomas Paine and his contemporaries, and she is currently completing her book on The History of English Inequality.I am happy to say that she is also the first woman to be on the podcast, and I am fully aware that's long overdue!
We hear from some of the language service journalists reporting on the catastrophic earthquakes that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on Monday. Fundanur Öztürk from BBC Turkish travelled to Hatay, one of the worst hit cities, while BBC Arabic's Nisrine Hatoum was on holiday in Turkey at the time and quickly switched to reporting the disaster. Meanwhile her colleague Dina Waqqaf is Syrian, and plans to travel to the earthquake zone in northern Syria. Fear, boredom or nostalgia? Why did so many older Brazilians take part in the January riot? The prevailing age group among the more than 1,000 people arrested for storming government buildings in Brasilia a month ago was between 50 and 59 years old. So why was it this age category specifically who felt motivated to act in this way? Paula Adamo Idoeta of BBC Brasil tells us about her investigation. Not quite the world's tallest man 29-year-old Ghanaian Sulemana Abdul Samed was diagnosed with gigantism a few years ago. BBC Pidgin's Favour Nunoo met him to hear about the difficulties of living with this condition, and to help Sulemana find out exactly how tall he now is. Making change in India BBC Marathi reporters Janhavee Moole, Mayuresh Konnur and Amruta Durve have travelled across the state of Maharashtra to tell the stories of people inspired by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi to change lives around them. The resulting projects include a women-only bank in a rural town, and a school for city street children who beg at traffic lights.

Former president Jair Bolsonaro galvanized a U.S.-style gun culture in Brazil. Although Brazilians still have no constitutional right to bear arms, the former president loosened gun control, and encouraged his supporters to arm themselves. After Bolsonaro lost the 2022 presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, what happened next closely mirrored what happened in the United States after Donald Trump lost the election in 2020. So, how did Jair Bolsonaro leverage a Second Amendment culture war in a country...without a Second Amendment? And how did a fundamentally American ideology lead to an attack on Brazil's Congress earlier this year? Ray Suarez spoke with Reuters reporter Gabriel Stargardter about Brazil's version of the January 6th Insurrection, and the Latin American nation's fight over the "right" to bear arms.

En Brasil, sigue la saga golpista. El juez del Tribunal supremo federal y presidente del Tribunal Electoral, Alexandre de Moraes, confirmó el viernes haberse reunido con un senador que ha acusado al expresidente brasileño Jair Bolsonaro de estar involucrado en un complot para impedir que Lula da Silva fuese juramentado como nuevo presidente del país. El juez de la más alta instancia judicial de Brasil explicó que durante la cita que sostuvo con el senador Marcos do Val, a pedido de este último, el legislador le habló de los planes golpistas del expresidente Jair Bolsonaro pero que, debido a que no quiso ponerlo por escrito, él no pudo actuar de inmediato. Los comentarios de De Moraes siguen a la publicación de un audio en la revista brasileña Veja en el que el senador do Val, aliado del líder de ultraderecha durante mandato, afirma que el entonces presidente de Brasil buscó ayuda para armar un complot con el fin anular las elecciones de octubre y mantenerse en el poder. Do val afirma que la idea se discutió en una reunión con Bolsonaro y con el legislador Daniel Silveira el 9 de diciembre en la residencia presidencial, solo tres semanas antes de que el Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva asumiera el cargo. Y dice también que Bolsonaro le dio la "misión" de grabar a De Moraes para tratar de que el juez admitiera que se excedió en sus poderes. “Lamentablemente tenemos una parte de la élite que coqueteó con un golpe de Estado durante cuatro años y desde el año pasado financió esta intentona. “Todo esto está siendo investigado” aseguró, por su parte, el Juez de Moraes y agregó que “Lamentablemente tenemos una parte de la élite que coqueteó con un golpe de Estado durante cuatro años y desde el año pasado financió esta intentona. Las investigaciones están cada vez más cerca de esos financiadores y también de las autoridades públicas que cobardemente fueron negligentes o cómplices del intento de golpe. " Para el profesor de Relaciones Internacionales Universidad Federal del ABC, Gilberto Maringoni, la confesa historia del Golpe es una tramoya de Bolsonaro y sus aliados de extrema derecha con la intención de crear confusión en el escenario político "Lo que pasa en Brasil es una confusión en el escenario político provocada por Jair Bolsonaro y sus aliados de extrema derecha. Esta trampa del senador Marcos do Val —un hombre del aparato de seguridad aquí en Brasil, y posiblemente de milicias—, junto con Daniel Silveira, un marginal, lumpen y ex diputado junto a Bolsonaro; tiene el propósito de confundir para mantener la atención en la situación política y mantener al gobierno de Lula en la defensiva. Porque un golpe de estado en un país del tamaño de Brasil, —una de las 12 mayores economías del mundo— no puede ser tramaado por tres tipos en una noche. Como en una película sobre la Cosa Nostra, y la mafia. La historia es tan fantástica y no se sostien que Marcos do Val la cambió cuatro veces en 24 horas, es pura fantasía para hacer más tumultuoso el proceso político." Explica Gilberto Maringoni, Jair Bolsonaro, sobre quien ce la sospecha de tener vínculos con el levantamiento que tuvo lugar en Brasilia el 8 de enero, permanece en Florida, Estados Unidos, desde fines de diciembre.
El primer mes de gobierno de Luis Inácio Lula Da Silva en Brasil estuvo marcado por una agenda intensa en política exterior, que generó varias repercusiones en la región. A comienzos de la semana pasada, Lula llegó a Buenos Aires, donde participó de la cumbre de la Celac, una cita que marcó el retorno de Brasil a ese foro, después del alejamiento que dispuso Jair Bolsonaro. Allí además se reunió con el presidente argentino, Alberto Fernández, con quien firmó varios acuerdos de cooperación económica. El miércoles Lula y su comitiva cruzaron a Montevideo para entrevistarse con el presidente Luis Lacalle Pou y varios ministros. Su visita generó optimismo en el gobierno uruguayo. Entre otras cosas, el mandatario brasileño declaró que los reclamos de nuestro país para “modernizar” el Mercosur son “justos” y además se mostró afín a que el Mercosur y China negocien un acuerdo comercial. La agenda internacional de Lula continuó luego con un diálogo telefónico con el presidente francés Emmanuel Marcon. Y este lunes recibió en Brasilia al canciller alemán Olaf Scholz. A los dos líderes europeos les insistió en la necesidad de completar la firma del tratado de libre comercio Mercosur-Unión Europea en el primer semestre del año. ¿Qué dejan estos primeros movimientos de Lula en la región? ¿Cuánto impactan en la relación entre Uruguay y Brasil? ¿Y en los planes de Lacalle Pou en cuanto a inserción internacional? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Marcel Vaillant, experto en asuntos de comercio internacional, ex profesor titular de esa materia en el Departamento de Economía de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Udelar.

Events in America like the 2021 United States Capitol Insurrection are not unique to America. Brazil also suffered from a similar crisis on Jan 8, 2023. The attack there, on all three branches of government in Brasilia, was largely the result of the former president's insistence the election had been rigged. His supporters believed him, and although he lost by almost 2 million votes, the crowds turned out to overturn the election, in much the same way Trump supporters did on Jan 6, 2021.I thought we should have a look at what's going on in Brazil and take a deeper dive into Brazil's constitution for a sense of what is driving the rise of populism in Brazil. The United States and Brazil enjoy broad political and economic relations. Brazil is the second most populus democracy in the Western Hemisphere, and the world's twelfth-largest economy. The United States is Brazil's second-largest trading partner, second only to China.It may surprise some of you to find out both the United States and Brazil are considered “flawed democracies," but there are differences. Whereas the promise of democracy in America is considered to be our birthright, Brazil has had to overcome a monarchy, as well as a dictatorship established by a military coup, which was supported by the United States and then president John F. Kennedy. That dictatorship lasted 21 years, until Feb 1, 1987 when a popular constituent assembly composed of elected representatives of the several political parties in Brazil, drafted a new democratic constitution, which was then formally ratified in 1988. Juliano Zaiden Benvindo is Professor of Constitutional Law and Head of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies at the University of Brasília. He is also a fellow at the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and Capes-Humboldt Senior Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany.

Thousands of supporters of Brazil's fascistic former president Jair Bolsonaro invaded and occupied for more than three hours the headquarters of the three branches of government in Brasilia, the country's capital, on Sunday 8 January. The protesters demanded a military coup to depose and imprison recently inaugurated President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers Party (PT). Although the situation was brought under control, and the fascist occupation of the buildings ended, there remains a looming threat of a military coup with fascist-sympathetic leaders.To discuss the rising threat of fascism in Brazil is Brazilian eco-feminist and socialist, Fernanda Santos.

When Indigenous activists, leaders and allies gathered on Jan. 2, at Brazil's National Indian Foundation, FUNAI, it was finally time to celebrate.This was an agency that had previously protected Indigenous rights and native land, but which, under former President Jair Bolsonaro, had been defunded, gutted and turned against them.“It's so great to be back here. We haven't had a meeting here for a long time,” the new director Joenia Wapichana told a packed crowd. "And let's remember,” she added, "from now on, the National Indian Foundation will be named the National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples."Wapichana was Brazil's first Indigenous lawyer and its first female Indigenous lawmaker. She was elected in 2018, and served in Congress over the last four years.She said that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had invited her personally to head the agency as its first Indigenous director.“It will be a challenge,” she said. But Wapichana will have help.FUNAI will now fall under the jurisdiction of Brazil's first Indigenous People's Ministry, led by prominent Indigenous activist Sonia Guajajara.

Lula embraced her when she reached the podium."It's a moment of such great emotion,” she said in her first speech to supporters. “I've been telling a lot of people that I've never felt this excited. Never in my life.”Challenges facing the ministryIndigenous territories have been devastated in recent years by fires, clear cutting, mining and logging. Amazon deforestation is at a 15-year high. More than half of the destruction in recent years has been on conservation areas and native territories. A tree stump on Indigenous land in the Amazonian state of Rondônia.

"You can still see the smoke. Less than a week ago, this was all green forest." Chief André Karipuna points out destruction of Indigenous land in the Amazonian state of Rondônia. Credit: Michael Fox/The World But Lula has promised to stop the land invasions and the deforestation."The Indigenous peoples need to have their land demarcated and free from the threats of illegal and predatory economic activities,” Lula said during his inauguration speech.“They're not obstacles to development. They are guardians of the rivers and forests and a fundamental piece of the greatness of our nation."André Karipuna said he is excited about Lula's victory, but concerned for what lies ahead."The invasions are really advanced,” he said. "We are hopeful that they'll be able to remove these invaders. But there's a lot to be resolved." Destroyed trees in the Amazonian state of Rondônia, Brazil. Credit: Michael Fox/The World That's why the new Indigenous leaders in Lula's government are hoping to take action — and fast. At the top of their agenda is restructuring the new agencies, removing land invaders and demarcating new Indigenous land, something Bolsonaro refused to do.Meanwhile, this month, the Brazilian government is expected to recognize 13 new Indigenous territories."This is a moment to rewrite the history of the Indigenous peoples of Brazil."Ingrid Sateré Mawé, Indigenous rights defender"This is an historic moment,” said Indigenous rights defender Ingrid Sateré Mawé. "This is a moment to rewrite the history of the Indigenous peoples of Brazil."They have a long way to go, but Indigenous leaders say now, like never before, is a moment of relief, of celebration and hope, for them and for the protection of the Amazon rainforest.

MIT researchers have concluded in a new study that computers that power self-driving cars could generate as many greenhouse gas emissions as the total of the world's data centres do today. We've reported many times on the huge carbon footprint of data centres as well as the massive amounts of electricity needed to run them. They currently account for 0.3% of global greenhouse gas emissions – a similar level to Argentina - according to the International Energy Agency. The models created show that 1 billion autonomous vehicles, driving for one hour a day each, need a computer consuming 840 watts. These would consume enough energy to generate similar emissions as data centres currently do. Lead author Soumya Sudhakar joins us on the show to explain how hardware efficiency will need to advance rapidly to avoid these high levels of emissions. Brazil's antisocial media Following last week's events in Brasilia we look at the role social media played in the violence by far-right protestors. Angelica Mari, and activist and researcher Bruna Martins dos Santos who specialises in the Politics of Digitalization discuss if President Lula's new government can reclaim the social media space and curb the spread of far right disinformation. Getting South Africa connected – a new initiative Last week we heard from one of our listeners about how he tries to stay online during power shortages in Ukraine following Russian air strikes. Another country that is significantly affected by energy shortages is South Africa. In addition, getting a reliable internet connection is also very hard. The government has announced that it's going to spend over 160 million dollars over the next three years creating 33,000 community Wi-Fi hotspots as well as investing in improving IT skills across the population. Our reporter Rani Singh has been looking at how this might be achieved… The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Angelica Mari.
