TV Globo to Bow ‘Aberto ao Publico' in July, the First Comedy Show From New Regional Hubs across Brazil (EXCLUSIVE)
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Brazil's leading open-TV network TV Globo will launch July 6 'Aberto ao Publico,' a comedy show with four episodes airing on four consecutive Sundays nights, Amauri Soares, the exec director of TV Globo and Estudios Globo, told Variety. Comedian Mauricio Meirelles created the show, which will be directed by Gui Cintra and Daniel Nascimento. Meirelles, Bruna Louise, Murilo Couto and Thiago Ventura will host the show and welcome a guest celebrity in each episode, Soares said More from Variety 'I'm Still Here's' Fernanda Torres to Star in 'Os Corretores,' Which She Wrote, With Conspiraçao and Globo Filmes Producing (EXCLUSIVE) Spanish Mart-Meet Iberseries & Platino Industria Looks to Europe, Aims to Boost Spanish-Language International Distribution RioFilme Wants to Find the 'Gagacabana of Audiovisual,' Is Currently in Talks to Attract Netflix's 'Boys From Brazil' and MipTV to Rio Globo shot 'Aberto ao Publico' in a theater in Sao Paulo with the presence of an audience that interacts with the comedians and guest, using a stand-up like format, he said. 'Aberto ao Publico' is the first show created at regional hubs Globo recently established in cities across Brazil to increase the diversity of the network's comedy programming, he added. The hubs have an informal structure, each comprised of eight to 10 indie comedians with different backgrounds, from social media to standup, theater and advertising. They work in a home office under the coordination of a Globo staff writer from the Patricia Pedrosa headed Globo's Comedy Division. As of late 2024, Globo set up hubs at the cities of São Paulo, Fortaleza, Goiania, and Porto Alegre, as well as in Rio, where hub comedians are not based at Globo's production center Projac. 'Aberto ao Publico' is from the São Paulo hub reflecting the city's growing stand-up comedy scene, said Soares. 'It is very challenging for a network to produce comedy shows today. Comedies are fragmented. Everybody experiments with comedy, amateurs and pros, in social media, clubs,' Soares said. 'We decided to create the hubs to reach across the walls of Projac, to other regions of Brazil that have their own comedy scenes and particular accents.' He added that ideas originated at the hubs can lead to the development of different types of programming, including series, TV movies and films for theatrical release, as well as characters and formats. Globo will announce 'Aberto ao Publico' and the hub creation during the company's panel today at Rio2C. Best of Variety 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?

Former Brazilian president receives compensation for torture
Former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff is to receive compensation for her torture by the military during the country's dictatorship. As a politically persecuted individual, a commission of the South American country's Ministry of Human Rights awarded the former head of state, who was in power from 2011-16, compensation of 100,000 reais ($17,720), the TV channel TV Globo reported. Rousseff was arrested in 1970 at the age of 22 for her resistance to the military junta and was tortured multiple times during her approximately three-year imprisonment. The military dictatorship in Brazil lasted from 1964 to 1985. According to the report by the national truth commission, more than 400 people were murdered and thousands tortured during the dictatorship. Rousseff has previously received compensation totalling 72,000 reais from the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, where she was tortured during her imprisonment. She donated the payments to social organizations. Rousseff is currently working as the president of the New Development Bank (NDB) of the BRICS countries in Shanghai. The BRICS countries were originally Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, but they have expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Brazil suffers ‘embarrassing' defeat to great rival Argentina in one-sided World Cup qualifier
Over the years, the famous canary yellow shirt of the Brazil national team has become synonymous with World Cup success, beautiful soccer and legendary players. However, Brazil fans are having to adapt to a new reality: their team isn't very good. In fact, it is actually pretty bad. On Tuesday, an already underwhelming 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign reached its nadir as the Seleção suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat away to great rival Argentina. While the victory meant Argentina officially qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the size of the defeat threw up even more questions for this beleaguered Brazil squad and its hapless manager, Dorival Júnior. But at the end of a rough evening in Buenos Aires, the size of the scoreline was the least of Brazil's worries. That Argentina only scored four goals actually flattered Dorival's team. It is no exaggeration to say the Albiceleste could – and probably should – have scored seven or eight. 'What we did here today can't happen again,' Brazil captain Marquinhos told Brazilian TV Globo, per Reuters. 'It's hard to talk about it in the heat of the moment … it's embarrassing. 'We started the game very badly, far below what we could do and they're on a great run of confidence. They knew how to play smart … I'm sorry for our fans. It's not just the coach's fault. It's the players' fault too. 'There's no secret formula in football where you make a choice and it works out. We can all do better. We have to share the blame. It's about understanding the moment and being humble.' To say that Brazil's defending throughout the contest was amateur-like would be an insult to many amateur players around the world. Time and time again, Argentina carved its rival open at will. And much of the time Brazil hurt itself, gifting away possession in comical fashion. The writing was on the wall after only four minutes when two Brazil defenders somehow failed to dispossess Julián Álvarez in the box, allowing the ball to bounce through for the Atlético Madrid striker to poke home the opener. It was 2-0 just eight minutes later as Enzo Fernández appeared completely unmarked at the far post to tap in Nahuel Molina's cross that had somehow evaded four Canarinha defenders. Brazil looked to have been given a lifeline when an error from Cristian Romero in the Argentina defense gifted Matheus Cunha a goal after 26 minutes, but it made little difference. Alexis Mac Allister made it 3-1 just 11 minutes later, finding himself under no pressure in the box to easily lift the ball over Bento in the Brazil goal. Giovanni Simeone later made it 4-1 after four Brazil defenders again failed to intercept a low cross – this time from Nicolás Tagliafico – smashing the ball emphatically off the underside of the crossbar. While Brazil fans were left to lament another poor performance and question what this will mean for Dorival and the team's chances at next year's World Cup, Argentina supporters were celebrating again. The World Cup holder has itself been below par since winning the 2024 Copa América, but still qualified for next year's tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico with relative ease. It's hard to gauge just how good this Argentina team is given how poor the rest of the teams have been in this qualifying campaign. But if Lionel Messi holds off on his international retirement for another 16 months, fans will rightly feel confident of going back-to-back.

Brazil captain Marquinhos apologises humiliating defeat to Argentina
Brazil captain Marquinhos apologised to the fans on Tuesday after they suffered their heaviest defeat in a World Cup qualifier with a 4-1 thrashing by bitter rivals Argentina in Buenos Aires. Five-times World Cup winners Brazil have won just once in their last four games and Marquinhos urged his team mates to turn things around as quickly as possible. "What we did here today can't happen again," he told Brazilian TV Globo. "It's hard to talk about it in the heat of the moment... It's embarrassing. "We started the game very badly, far below what we could do and they're on a great run of confidence. They knew how to play smart ... I'm sorry for our fans." Manager Dorival Jr has failed to earn the trust of Brazil's demanding fans after winning just seven of his 16 games in charge since taking over in early 2024. "It's not just the coach's fault... It's the players' fault too," Marquinhos said. "There's no secret formula in football where you make a choice and it works out. We can all do better. We have to share the blame. "It's about understanding the moment and being humble." While Argentina have already secured their place at the 2026 World Cup, Brazil still have work to do to claim an automatic berth in North America. They are fourth in the South American standings on 21 points, just six points ahead of Venezuela in seventh place, which carries a spot in the inter-confederation playoffs. On Tuesday, Brazil could not cope with Argentina's brilliance as Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister and Giuliano Simeone sealed an emphatic win for the world champions, who had been assured of their World Cup berth after Bolivia's 0-0 draw with Uruguay earlier Tuesday. That goalless stalemate ensured a festive atmosphere at the Estadio Monumental before a ball had been kicked and Argentina kept the party going with a blistering performance. Atletico Madrid forward Alvarez opened the scoring after just six minutes, latching onto Thiago Almada's through ball and dinking a close-range finish past Brazil goalkeeper Bento. It got better for Argentina six minutes later when Chelsea's Fernandez tucked away the hosts' second goal of the night after Brazil's back four failed to deal with a low cross. With Brazil being run ragged by a rampant Argentina, they were thrown a lifeline on 26 minutes after a blunder by Cristian Romero gifted a goal to Mattheus Cunha. Tottenham defender Romero was caught in possession 25 yards from goal, allowing Cunha to steal in and drive a low shot past Emiliano Martinez to make it 2-1. But any hopes of a Brazilian fightback were snuffed out in the 37th minute with a superb goal from Mac Allister. Almada was once again the creator, lofting a pass into the area which Mac Allister met with a first-time volley to make it 3-1. With Argentina in complete control, Simeone then brought the house down with a 71st minute strike to make it 4-1 -- his first international goal. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni was thrilled by his side's performance. "We played as a team and that's why we minimized Brazil. We played at the highest level," he told reporters. "We have to keep proving ourselves, but knowing that it won't always be like this."
