This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Wednesday, September 6th. *) Top court to deliver verdict on abaya ban in French schools The highest French court will deliver its verdict in the next hours on an appeal against the government's abaya dress ban in schools. A lawyer for the Muslim Rights Action filed an appeal with the Council of State to seek the suspension of the ban on the abaya — a loose-fitting, full-length robe worn by some Muslim students at school. The lawyer said barring students from entering schools because of the abaya is a violation of privacy and personal freedom. *) Ex-Proud Boys chief Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years in jail for Capitol riots Former Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison, the longest sentence yet in the Capitol rampage, on January 6, 2021. Tarrio's sentence is one among more than 1,100 Capitol riot cases. It comes as the Justice Department prepares to put former president Donald Trump on trial at the same courthouse in Washington, on charges that the then-president illegally schemed to cling on to power. *) Saudi, Iran exchange envoys as part of China-brokered deal Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Iran has arrived in Iran, and his counterpart landed in Riyadh, cementing a restoration of ties between the Gulf rivals after a seven-year rupture mended by China. Saudi Arabia's leadership recognises the “importance of strengthening ties, increasing engagement ... and taking the [relationship] to broader horizons,” The Saudi ambassador said upon his arrival in Tehran. Also, Iran's ambassador to Saudi Arabia arrived in the capital Riyadh, where he was received by Foreign Ministry officials and embassy staff. *) DPRK to ‘pay a price' if it supplies Russia weaponry: US The White House has warned that North Korea would “pay a price” if it supplies Russia with weaponry for its war in Ukraine, with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin expected to hold talks on the issue. US President Joe Biden's national security advisor said Pyongyang and Moscow were eyeing “leader-level discussions, perhaps even in person” on Russia's arms needs. The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was unable to confirm a summit between Putin and Kim. And finally… *) Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon falls 66% in August Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by 66 percent in August versus the same month last year, the government said, calling it a sign its environmental policies are working. That followed a similar year-on-year drop of 66 percent in July — both crucial months in the Amazon, where deforestation typically surges this time of year with the onset of drier weather. Ex-president Bolsonaro, an ally of the powerful agribusiness industry blamed for driving the destruction, presided over a sharp increase in deforestation in the Amazon from 2019 to 2022.

Cattle Ranching, Palm Oil Plantations and Other Agrobusiness Drivers of Deforestation, Fraud and Violence Against Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples, Bolsonaro's Crimes and the Need for Due Diligence and Accountability in Financing and Supply ChainsDiscussion with Gabriella Bianchini on the importance of the Amazonian biome to the local environment and our planet and the current threats to the rainforest. We discuss the history of deforestation in Brazil's Amazon, including the ecocide under Bolsonaro and the current agrobusiness drivers, with a focus on cattle ranching and palm oil plantations. We also discuss land grabbing and violence against local communities and indigenous peoples and threats to and murder of environmental defenders. Additionally, we discuss how companies and financial institutions in the Global North are trading with and financing Amazonian destruction and violent land grabbing and legislative efforts to require accountability for failing to undertake due diligence in supply chains and investment.

We've been covering a lot of US state and federal CDR policy in the last few episodes. Today we're taking a much-needed international trip and discussing some critical stories happening across the globe.  Zimbabwe's government has announced new regulations on voluntary carbon offset trading to prevent greenwashing and ensure that local communities benefit. Carbon credit schemes in Zimbabwe have been unregulated. The new policy mandates that all carbon projects register with the program, ensuring that a percentage of the revenue goes directly to local communities.  Deforestation rates in Brazil's Amazon rainforest have fallen by 33.6% during the first six months of 2023 under the new administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. This contrasts sharply with the record-breaking deforestation rates in 2022 under former president Jair Bolsonaro, who promoted mining and farming in protected areas. The UK government has announced comprehensive changes to its Emissions Trading Scheme: a program designed to decarbonize the country eventually. The ETS will now include more sectors, set new emissions limits for the power sector, energy-intensive industries, and aviation, and incorporate carbon removal technologies into the ETS. CDR solutions, like direct air capture, BECCs, and nature-based removals, will now be traded in the ETS program.  Today I'm with our regular policy panel of Holly Buck Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University at Buffalo and the author of Ending Fossil Fuels, and Wil Burns the Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy at American University.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened up 99-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 14,184 on turnover of $1.92-billion N-T. **Ex-Denmark PM and NATO secretary general to visit Taiwan next week ** The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Former prime minister of Demark and ex-NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will visit Taiwan next week, to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen. MOFA says Rasmussen has been calling on democratic countries to enhance (提高、增強) cooperation with Taiwan, to build democratic reliance amid the expansion of authoritarianism, adding that his upcoming visit was a clear demonstration of his strong support toward Taiwan. Rasmussen in 2017 founded the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of democracy and free markets across the globe. In his current role, he hosts the annual Copenhagen Democracy Summit, which was first held in 2018. During his scheduled stay from January 3rd to 5th, Rasmussen will also meet with Vice President William Lai and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, as well as lawmakers and think tank scholars. (TT) **MOL expands scope of online work permit applications for foreign nationals ** A government online work permit application system for foreign nationals has been expanded to cover cram schools, art-related jobs, and the adult children of work permit-holding foreign professionals. The Workforce Development Agency's "EZ Work Permit" website has been handling applications from local companies to employ foreign managers, as well as from sports- and art-related agencies to hire international talents. Now, cram schools may also create an account on the EZ Work Permit website, to apply for work permits and to renew (更新) the permits of their foreign employees online. The Ministry of Labor says that unlike offices with regular government business hours, the online service is operational 24/7, and should take seven working days or less to process and issue permit applications. (TT) **US Biden Signs Bill ** US President Joe Biden has signed a $1.7 trillion bill funding government operations. AP correspondent Norman Hall reports. **Brazil da Silva Names Amazon Activist as Minister of Environment ** Brazil's President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced Thursday that Amazon activist Marina Silva will be the country's next minister of environment. The announcement signals the new administration will prioritize cracking down on illegal deforestation in the forest even if it means running afoul of powerful agribusiness interests. Lula has promised to end all deforestation by 2030. This would be a sharp turnabout (徹底變化) from the policies of the outgoing president, Jair Bolsonaro, who pushed for development in the Amazon. Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon reached a 15-year high in the year ending in July 2021, though the devastation slowed somewhat in the following 12 months. **Vivienne Westwood Obit ** English designer Vivienne Westwood has died at 81. Her fashion house announced her death Thursday on its social media platforms, saying she died peacefully in South London surrounded by friends and family. A cause was not immediately disclosed (公佈). Westwood's fashion career began in the 1970s with the punk (龐克) explosion, when the onetime primary school teacher's radical approach to urban street style took the world by storm. But she went on to enjoy a long career highlighted by activism and a string of runway shows and museum exhibits. That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.

Hisham Yezza of BBC Monitoring has been observing the impact in the Middle East and North Africa of the war in Ukraine since the invasion nearly ten months ago. He tells us how the war is reported and discussed in the region, and how at a political level, traditional alliances with the West are shifting. A sweet treat that could help the Amazon People from Brazil's Amazon region enjoy many dishes made with the local cupuaçu fruit, but they make less use of the seeds. These can be processed to make "cupulate", which has some similarities to chocolate. BBC Brasil's Monica Vasconcelos tells us how cupulate could help livelihoods and the environment. Preserving Rai dancing Essra Warda is an Algerian American dancer, working to preserve North African women-led dance traditions. Fethi Benaissa from BBC Arabic spoke to her about her love of these dances. Life in Lulu Lulu is a fictitious village in rural South Sudan, the setting for a popular radio drama created by the BBC's international charity Media Action. For 10 years, it's been tackling a wide range of issues experienced by ordinary people, from violence against women to peace-building. Production manager Zuhur Noah and scriptwriter Kululu Elgebana introduce us to some of the characters and stories. What is 'pancasila'? Indonesia's national ideology, 'pancasila', or 'five principles', has been in the news this week.

The director of the documentary 'The Territory', Alex Pritz, says the Covid-19 pandemic forced them to rethink their entire production model. The film follows 18-year-old Bitaté, the leader of the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau people, as he defends his home in Brazil's Amazon rainforest. Pritz tells Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker, Sarah Rappaport and Lizzy Burden that some of the protagonists in the documentary ended up doing some of the filming.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Documentarian Alex Pritz didn't have a background in film. He studied environmental science in college and was certain he wanted to be a scientist to “work on these big problems plaguing our planet,” he says. But at the end of his time at university, he realized that film was a better way to engage with big issues. “I have always been interested in participatory video working with communities that are experiencing conflicts and challenges to help them use film as a method of advocacy and also self expression,” he remarks. With that approach in mind, he went to the western part of Brazil's Amazon rainforest to direct “The Territory.” The filmmaker discusses how he was introduced to the Uru-eu-wau-wau people, a small indigenous community that is fighting to protect their land, the challenges and accessibility issues he faced to make the documentary. But first Kim Masters and Matt Belloni look into the competition between Amazon and HBO for more viewers. Which series will win: ‘The Rings of Power' or ‘House of the Dragon?'

Encouraged by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and local authorities who want to see the development of agribusiness, an "agricultural mafia" is taking over the Amazon rainforest. In the Brazilian state of Rondonia, organised groups set up camps for small farmers – sometimes the size of a city – within national forest parks that are supposed to be protected by law or on land stolen from indigenous peoples. Our reporters investigated this "agricultural mafia", from the small farmer who is promised a patch of land and a future, to the politicians pulling the strings.

According to data from INPE/National Institute for Space Research, Brazilian Amazon lost more than 13 thousand square kilometers of tropical forest between August 2020 and July 2021. - Segundo dados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), a Amazônia brasileira perdeu mais de 13 mil quilômetros quadrados de floresta tropical no período entre agosto de 2020 e julho de 2021.

*) India's Modi withdraws controversial farm laws ​​After more than a year of Indian farmers displaying massive street power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repealed three highly controversial agricultural reform laws. Farmers were against the laws as they would no longer be assured of a minimum price for their crops. At the time, the government said the reforms were essential to modernise the nation but has now backed down ahead of elections in three heavily agrarian states. *) Sudan's police chief denies role in protester deaths Sudan's police chief has defended his security forces after at least 15 people were killed by live fire at Wednesday's protests against last month's coup. Lieutenant General Khalid Mahdi Ibrahim said security forces only used legal means to contain protests. Wednesday's deaths brought the overall death toll since the coup to at least 39. *) Belarus clears main refugee camps at EU border Belarus has cleared the main camps where refugees were sheltering at the border with Poland. Belarus state media said late on Thursday that the refugees sheltering in the forest had been taken to a warehouse away from the Polish border. The EU has accused Belarus of deliberately creating the crisis by flying in refugees and forcing them to attempt illegal border crossings into Poland and Lithuania. Minsk denies "orchestrating" the crisis and both sides have agreed to talks. *) World Food Programme drivers released after weeklong detention in Ethiopia All of the World Food Programme drivers and UN workers arrested by the Ethiopian government in the north have been released. Ethiopia arrested 72 drivers in Afar province, on the only functional road leading into the conflict-and-famine-hit region of Tigray. The arrests follow an escalation of conflict between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and Tigray forces in early November – when the rebels threatened to besiege capital Addis Ababa. *) Deforestation of Amazon surges to highest levels since 2006 The deforested area in Brazil's Amazon has reached a 15-year high, after a 22 percent jump from the previous year. The Amazon lost 13,235 square kilometres of rainforest in the 12 months from August 2020 to July 2021, according to the National Institute for Space Research. Brazil's Amazon had not recorded a single year with more than 10,000 square kilometres of deforestation in over a decade before Jair Bolsonaro's term started.

US President Joe Biden has unveiled a $6 trillion budget plan. The BBC's North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury explains what he wants to spend it on, and how he going to pay for it. Police trying to halt illegal mining in Brazil's Amazon have allegedly been attacked by miners – who then went on to set indigenous homes on fire. We get the latest from of Ana Carolina Alfinito Vieira of Amazon Watch Brazil. Also in the programme, we have an in depth report on a water dispute between Ethiopia and its neighbours over a huge hydro-electric dam it is building on the Nile. Plus, a new app called Bugs Matter, launched in the UK by charity Buglife, is trying to get a picture of insects' prevalence by asking people to count the number of dead ones they find on their car after a journey. We hear from Buglife director Paul Hetherington. All this and more discussed with our guest throughout the show, Sharon Bretkelly, co-host of Newsroom's daily podcast, The Detail, who's in Auckland, New Zealand.

This past August, several former commanders of Colombia's largely demobilized Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) released a video in which they announced a “new phase of armed struggle.” What this video signaled more than anything, was a clear reminder the peace accord is directly related to the conditions on the ground—the conditions of violence and poverty as they are proliferated and exacerbated by Colombia's elite and attendant corruption at various levels of government (https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/09/08/how-to-keep-the-colombian-peace-deal-alive-farc-duque-uribe-colombia/). In the words of one of the local residents—Luis, a seventy-three-year-old—living in one of the areas targeted for development, FARC, operating there since 1981, has long been viewed as “a useful group . . . they have been the presence of law in the face of state absence” (https://jacobinmag.com/2019/08/colombia-farc-hidroituango-demining-coca-campesinos). In areas, such as this, that have never seen police or government officials, the FARC organized communal work groups to fix local paths, imposed a minimum wage, resolved domestic disputes, and punished criminals. However, the dynamics of FARC presence in the area changed in the late 1990s to 2003, when right-wing paramilitary groups entered the region in force (https://jacobinmag.com/location/colombia). Today, AWNP's, Mwiza Munthali recently spoke with our friend and colleague, Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli. Gimena Sanchez-Garzoli is currently a Senior Associate for the Andes at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), where she is the leading Colombia human rights advocate. We then turn our attention to Brazil, exploring the current sociopolitical and ecological crises and the implications of Afro Brazilians with Juliana Borges. In recent months, fires in the Amazon Rainforest have put a spotlight on the planetary harmful deforestation occurring there. Just before the September 23 United Nations Climate Action Summit, Human Rights Watch released the report Rainforest Mafias: How Violence and Impunity Fuel Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon. According to the report, “Every day, people in Brazil put themselves at risk to defend the Amazon rain-forest from illegal logging. … For Brazil to meet its Paris Agreement commitment, it will need to rein in the criminal groups that are driving much of the deforestation…”. Next, we will hear a talk delivered by Juliana Borges (https://uniondocs.org/people/juliana-borges/). Ms. Juliana Borges is an Afro-Brazilian researcher, writer, anthropologist, and activist working on issues related to racism, gender, drug policy, incarceration, and violence. She is part of the National Council of Brazilian Platform for Drug Policy Reform, a consultant at the Brazilian Bar Association/Sao Paulo Section on confrontation, monitoring, and memory of torture and violence. In addition, she recently published a book on Racism and the War of Drugs in Brazil, titled, “Encarceramento em Massa (Feminismos Plurais),” a book from the “Plural Feminisms” collection. She is a consultant for the Perseu Abramo Foundation in the area of violence studies, and a consultant for the project “They exist—women in prison,” which works in Rio de Janeiro women's prisons (https://sur.conectas.org/en/black-women-under-fire/).

To Be Big in China Requires Playing by China's Censorship Rules (0:32)Guest: Stanley Rosen, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, University of Southern CaliforniaFresh back from a couple of exhibition games in China this week, NBA star LeBron James set off a fire storm with his reaction to a tweet that had set off an earlier firestorm. “You know when you're misinformed or you're not educated about something –and I'm just talking about the tweet itself –you never know the ramifications that can happen. And you know we all seen what that did.” The tweet was fairly short and quickly deleted. It was posted by the general manager of the Houston Rockets and it read “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong.” China's communist government immediately condemned the tweet –it sees the Hong Kong protests as a violent separatist movement. The timing was bad, because LeBron's LA Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets were just about to head off to China for some pre-season games and a bunch of publicity to gin up support for the NBA in China–which is a really lucrative market for the league. Chinese companies pulled sponsorship from the NBA and team appearances were cancelled. Chinese TV networks refused to broadcast the games. The NBA apologized to China, but that's tricky because here in America we believe in free speech and furthermore, what the Houston Rocket's executive tweeted about supporting Hong Kong protesters is a pretty mainstream view in the West. And so, American media and entertainment companies are in a tough spot. The Chinese market is a gold mine, but reaping those profits means cooperating with China's communist censors. Butchers Aim for More Sustainable Meat Eating (20:45)Guest: Kate Kavanaugh, Cofounder and CEO of Western Daughters Butcher ShoppeA former vegetarian is the last person I'd expect to see behind the counter at a butcher shop carving steaks off a carcass. But that's Kate Kavanaugh's story. She's part of a movement the New York Times recently called “ethical butchering.” Kavanaugh says “sustainable” might be a better word. Crowdfunding Saves a Stretch of Pristine Wilderness in British Columbia (37:28)Guest: Andrew Day, CEO of the British Columbia Parks FoundationUp north of Vancouver, along Canada's Pacific coast, glaciers have carved narrow, finger-like fjords that are spectacular. One of them is sometimes called the “Yosemite of the North” because of its high cliffs and waterfalls. Princess Louisa Inlet is its actual name and recently a stretch of its shoreline went up for sale. Logging companies were eyeing it, until the British Columbia Parks Foundation stepped in with a bold plan. They were going to crowdfund $3 million to buy the land for preservation as a public park. With just three months to round up the cash, they did it. The Apple Seed (51:10)Guest: Sam Payne, The Apple Seed, BYUradioSam Payne from The Apple Seed shares a spooky story in honor of October.  Increasing Recess Time (1:01:47)Guest: Lauren ZolkiewiczIn many school districts pressure to have kids perform well on exams has led to cutting time from other programs and activities –including recess. But some say that's a big mistake.In one of the largest school districts in the country one parent, who is also a high school teacher, has worked tirelessly to make a difference for her child and thousands of other children in one way: longer recess. Lauren Zolkiewicz is a mother and high school teacher who is passionate about free, unstructured play being built into the elementary school curriculum. Through her movement “More Recess MCPS”, she has begun a pilot program that has doubled recess time in six of her district's schools. Proving Einstein Right: The Daring Expeditions that Changed How We Look at the Universe (1:12:21)Guest: Sylvester James Gates, Jr., Theoretical Physicist, Brown Theoretical Physics Center Director, Co-Author of "Proving Einstein Right: The Daring Expeditions that Changed How We Look at the Universe"100 years ago, a total solar eclipse changed our understanding of the universe and made Albert Einstein famous. Up till then, Einstein was just an academic with some intriguing ideas about gravity. But a group of adventurous astronomers set out to test Einstein's theory of relativity. To do that, they needed to take pictures of the stars during total solar eclipses. And to do that, they had to travel to Russia on the brink of war and deep into the Brazil's Amazon jungles. Finally, on May 29, 1919, after eight years of failed attempts, astronomers captured the evidence they needed to prove Einstein was right.
