Hillel Neuer of United Nations Watch calls out Qatar and Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council

Headline: Nobel Peace Prize Laureate & Journalist Maria Ressa is Concerned with U.S. Democracy Main Text: August 2025 - Midtown Manhattan APB News reflects back from an interview conducted this past September at the Clinton Global Initiative - a summit that brought world and thought leaders together under the umbrella of the United Nations general Assembly. APB News caught up with Marfia Ressler after her talk on stage with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to talk about the new world order and what concerns her. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate and investigative journalist Maria Ressa has long fought for global press freedom as described in her book "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" which details her experience running the news site Rappler under the increasingly autocratic regime of President Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines. She recently spoke with Mike Leventhal to discuss parallels she's seeing between the Philippines and the U.S. under President Trump.

July 10, 2025 - Washington DC & Brasilia, Brazil: This week, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports, effective August 1st. He cited Brazil’s prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, labeling it a "witch hunt" and an "insidious attack" on free speech and election integrity. Brazilian President Lula immediately summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires, denouncing Trump’s demand to drop the trial and reaffirming Brazil’s independent institutions. Lula called Trump’s letter "offensive" and warned of reciprocal counter-tariffs. This action follows Eduardo Bolsonaro's temporary resignation from Congress in March 2025 and his move to the U.S. to lobby for political asylum and pressure Brazil’s judiciary - specifically Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. His goal, he told APB News earlier this year, is to rally U.S. officials to sanction de Moraes and promote clemency for those involved in the January 8th riots in Brasília. Brazil is the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner, exporting around $40 to $50 billion annually, including coffee, orange juice, steel, and iron. The announcement caused Brazil’s real to fall over 2% and sparked broader market uncertainty. This is a developing story. #Trump #Brazil #Tariffs #TradeWar #Bolsonaro #Lula #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #Economy

June 2025 - Washington DC: While thousands of people came to the nation’s capital to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, the big news was that the Army has met its active duty recruiting goal for 2025, marking the earliest the service has reached its annual enlistment target in more than a decade. The Army surpassed 61,000 future soldier contracts, four months before the end of the fiscal year, marking the second consecutive year that the service has reached its target for new enlistment after it had failed to meet its goals in 2022 and 2023. U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll credited the service’s 10,000 or so recruiters for their “colossal efforts” to improve the service’s recruiting wing in recent years and sign up some 10% more young Americans to join the Army so far this year than last year when it achieved its 55,000-recruit target just before the fiscal year’s end… The Army secretary said Tuesday that hitting the goal so early showed the service’s recruiting challenges were “behind us.” APB News was invited by the America 250th Commission to spend time with the Army leadership and witness the parade. The Army, and most of the other military services, have struggled in recent years to meet their recruiting goals, at least in part because of a shrinking pool of eligible candidates. The Pentagon in recent years has estimated only some 23% of young Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 meet the basic education, fitness and moral criteria to serve. Among those qualified, only about 9% have shown interest in the military in recent years, according to Pentagon data. Amid its struggles in recent years, the Army has launched new programs to bolster its recruiting apparatus and raised its recruiting commander from a two-star general to a three-star. It also opened a new pathway to enlistment for Army hopefuls who initially fall short of meeting the service’s enlistment standards. Before the parade activities started, more than a dozen Army teams competed in a CrossFit-style competition, showcasing their strength, speed and stamina. The core message from the competition was to demonstrate to the public the level of teamwork that is required of its service members, as these exact fitness exercises are conducted regularly to teach soldiers how to keep mission-focused under pressure. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll congratulated the 3rd Infantry Division soldiers after they won the Army’s fitness contest all as part of the service’s 250th birthday festival on the National Mall in Washington.

March 2025 - Washington DC: Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, said he is taking a leave from his role as a congressman to live in the United States and to help to build international support for his father and their political group. Bolsonaro said he will work on developing international support to fight what he claims is called persecution against the Bolsonaro family, his father, their allies and supporters. Eduardo has been instrumental in the role of the family's foreign emissary, appearing in the U.S. at conservative political conferences which is where APB News caught up with him at CPAC just outside of Washington DC. Also, Congressman Bolsonaro said he would seek political asylum. His father is barred from running for office until 2030 and had his passport taken in February 2024 on the order of Brazil's top court.

Inside the 2024 UNICEF Gala in New York City

Tuesday, October 24, 2023 - United Nations Plaza, NYC: As U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived at the United Nations this morning, he was greeted by the cheers and vocal demands by hundreds of supporters of the State of Israel demanding the release of the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7. The gathering saw people lining up on First Avenue for five blocks across from the UN entrance in front of the U.S. Mission. APB cameras watched as Jon Polin and his wife Rachel Goldberg were greeted with hugs and kisses from teary eyed demonstrators along the route - their son Hersh Goldberg-Polin was kidnapped after a part of his arm was blown off by an explosion and his condition and whereabouts are not known. Invited inside to speak at the UN Security Council meeting on Israel-Palestine as Gaza crisis, to make a similar appeal was Brooklyn-native Ruby Chen. His 19-year-old son, Itay, was taken hostage. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians who died in the initial Hamas rampage. It is believed 222 people including foreigners were captured by Hamas during the incursion and taken into Gaza, Israel's military has said. Four of those have been released, including a mother and daughter from Illinois and two elderly Israeli women. #israel #palestine #israelpalestineconflict #gaza #hostages
