About This Episode

Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed Brazil’s key government buildings, in scenes reminiscent of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. We’ll look at the similarities and differences between the two coup attempts. Then, we’ll analyze Netanyahu’s new government that is pushing a far-right agenda. Plus, after pivoting on “zero covid” policy, China reopened its borders for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began. What does this mean for the global economy? Ivo Daalder discusses with Ravi Agrawal and Giles Whittell on World Review.
