4:16 am
more interested in is the largest cancer killer of children under forty's so i think that generally speaking it will be towards a later age group as you mention in the future when the technology is a proven and and more understanding of these diseases in place will be able to roll that back into early life and potentially prevent cancers and other diseases. the legendary french singer shouts as no one has died at the age of ninety four he sold more than one hundred eighty million records during a career that spanned eight decades and he was best known internationally for his one nine hundred seventy s. hits she and the old fashioned way but as the past couple of reports now from paris never forgot his armenian roots. rosario gaylord. load or his voice was distinctive warmth and often drama his songs could be upbeat was deemed to be melancholy and nostalgia. for the shows as an avowal was one of

system so the body can better attack cancer cells in half an hour coming up next it's the stream thanks for watching. hi emily could be in the string brazil head to the polls on october seventh to vote in the first round of general elections out of sparks polarizing debate about the presidency on the streets and online currently the two leading candidates r.j. edible scenario of the social liberal party and fernando had the workers' party will speak to a panel of journalists about how they have been covering the process but first we
4:22 am
heard from our resilient community on why they support their candidate. the president i support in the upcoming presidential elections is called. from portugal because he's the only one who brings an actual fresh new start for brazil in politics is supporting that he believes and so he was a shadow because they're both social movement leaders who have struggled for democracy social justice and human rights on the ground with the people well i'm voting for bush. and he's a very bad person and a very bad candidate but i'm voting for him only because there is a shot that he would decentralize for the republic and will not keep the corruption machine working like the major parties has been doing the candidates that i support is wrong with moving parts which is the new party just in two thousand and fifty and that's why i support him because he's the only true outside during this
4:23 am
election. the divide in brazilian society was on display this weekend on television some of the candidates sparred over policies and personality by the divide was also on the streets and several protests around the country both supporters and opponents of the controversial can eventually airboats an auto took to the streets marching and chanting our producer beatrice christa pharo sent us footage of one anti both an auto protest in sao paolo on saturday where people marched under the hushed now or not him about protests people shouted you can cry women will take you down. and united women will never be defeated.
4:24 am
they chanted wilson or oh you fascist women will put you in line. and feminism is revolution. and some protests are shared why they came to be heard. in. washington. on sunday supporters of wilson oral also took to the streets chanting their name for him mito
4:25 am
are legend. one protester explained why he's convinced wilson r.-o. is the best candidate. lots to discuss today and to help us with that wall is washington correspondent for global news and bremen germany rafael suckle garcia is an independent journalist he's normally based in brazil and in sao paulo somebody you see is the brazil correspondent for the associated press welcome to the stream everyone let's begin with what brought so many people out onto the streets these past couple of days how what is it about well scenario that has elicited such large scale protests against
4:26 am
them and then smaller scale but still sizable protests in support of him well i think this show how polarized presuming is right now that he's a cool saying it's actually the whole the brazilians are united against the idea that the whole political class is corrupt but what we bring a lot of people against most of our industries is like because since he was he came he became a congressman in the beginning of it in ninety days he's being very controversial he makes a very offensive a man her remarks against women against black people against gays. and he's being in that time over there here ready defend in the back and then return to the military dictatorship in brazil which will resume full sixty four to eighty five in was a very dark moment in. rizzi you what a lot of the abuse of human rights in torture here ready defended torture is being
4:27 am
the founding in spreading violence and he was recently just a victim of violence he was a stand so i think people are united against this idea of hate and intolerance in the dog they want to vote a lot of people like you are saying one of the one of the voters there in the say he i'm voting for also not oh i hate him but i vote for him because he's better a lot of people voted for bush or not i can see that in my family it's voting actually for two protests the other side they don't just vote it's not necessarily a boat in so exactly sure they don't see the party they are against right now that is a worker's party. in rulers party. raisin in the polls like we're seeing their candidates now growing in the polls and so does a protest as a fault for protests speaking of protests where you see oh i know that you were out at some of the protests and sao paulo this weekend what were people telling you what are you hearing. well it was people that were protesting on saturday they were
4:28 am
really upset as both an autobody were also trying to push their candidates forward that means most of the left leaning candidates in this race and some centrists as well oh first this was a movement led by women but political parties also wanted to enjoy some some of the electoral dividends of this process you see in the last few days of the keeping trailing candidates using nearly moan and the hash tag in their t.v. programs or in their internet material as well so i would say that the leaders of that with were women because of the bosal not a legitimate the so aggressive against women in the last years or so but the political parties have also seized the opportunity to try to drive both of them are all of the other the run of that is tragic for the rich and the eighth of course there is there's slim chance that that happens because this works for bush not in the polls it's still very high but they're trying to throw some last punches to see
4:29 am
if one of these other two this can take his place in the world so even to the aggressive agenda against women and i want to share with our audience exactly what that looks like for many people this is a one who tweeted and hundreds of thousands of brazilian women protested over the weekend to say i am now against a politician running for president who has publicly called women ignorant to ugly to rape and undeserving of the same salary as men and they share some photos taken by reuters rafael what is it been like to witness this campaign. well. it's interesting that like i'll say that the polarization in britain that is taking place in brazil is important to have in mind we're not talking about extremes. fiddlehead out in one side and also not on the other side they did their family from different balls but not extreme the workers' party or the other belongs is not an extreme left political party though it was a natural extreme right but this election what we see is
4:30 am
a lot of people voting against a candidate they're not exactly vote for someone they want but they're forty for someone they give someone they don't want you see thousands of people who take to the streets to protest that and also now in a lot of them of voting for the workers' party not because they do support them they have a lot of criticisms people from the left they have criticisms i was of workers' party but they actually have to fault they think they have to vote for a dart in order to prevent i don't. from waiting and took orders off the right also i do the same support. so now just to prevent a workers' party from coming back again and corruption is just the background because you have. political parties for update on both sides so now there's some new announces i guess was another being made by bay here ex-wife there still has the country still has to investigate its all of the news from the past few days so this is pretty much an election of polarizations of two very different sides don't
4:31 am
necessarily stream sides. in people voting to prevent the other from winning so i want to show what some of that polarization looks like this is sarah who tweets so sad to see some of my friends dismiss their candidates or a cessna sergeant with homophobic sexist comments as unfortunate and equally sad that they say that the important thing is that he will eventually do good for the country when the guy has no consistent government plan and they're using the hash tag against him old son aro on the other hand though there is this week from michael who seems. not just to be doing a protest vote but he's actually pretty excited about a candidate michael says very excited about the prospect of a dad presidency but very afraid of the near inevitability of a military coup so interesting to put excited in that thought of a potential coup. break this down for us what do we know about how dodd well the problem would have right now is that he's very connected with lula which was a president the brazilian president just sent to jail
4:32 am
a few months ago and he was the mayor of san paolo. some people like him but a lot like you are saying he's so people think they're for him in order to advance he would have to disconnect himself to from lula in order to be. to be the next president of the thing is both of them are completely very unpopular and they're going to have trouble governing after it because they need to make coalitions with congress in order to govern and they're going to have to make their alliances over there in. this thing with how that is. until now he wasn't a candidate who was a vice of lulay and they use a little as image to appeal for a day or forwarders especially in the north to an hour to present to the former president being put in himself as a candidate even though the electrodes just would not allow that to happen so that is drawing on the polls in this is a scaring
4:33 am
a lot of people this is why you see what is going on a lot of people doing these protests of all right now it seems interesting that you mentioned you mentioned disconnecting their memory so i want to go to you with this because disconnecting himself from her but we saw a jail time endorsement rizal a former president to imprison. endorse this candidate so that seems like a disconnection that it will be hard to make what's your take. i don't think i've done wants to make the disconnection because that's what makes him so powerful at this moment or like little or not is a political genius of what this process has shown is that he has managed to organize brazil's elections from jail which is just quite amazing but the book concerns that most people have done a sara lee mean that they will end at the end of the election problem is after the election and there's due to the illegitimacy issue because both the matter has
4:34 am
already suggested he will not recognize any results unless he wins and if the workers' party loses they will say well if lula had been allowed to run we would have won the election and that makes this election throws well so we're now looking into an election that somehow at least for the post suggests is tipping to work so i doubt because of all the rejection that boston has faced in the last few days but it doesn't mean that the election will end resource for your longer the political process the next day as there are people express can be a very troubled as well and a headline here for what you just mentioned brazil's was a narrow says he will not accept election result if he loses so something to look forward to it has already been pledged. your take on this because that that means almost one that there's a guarantee then that we will see a runoff and two if this happens what does that mean for presidential.
4:35 am
well tweets that showed about a military coup is something there are a lot of people was really afraid in brazil right now it might. take place another another coup there's one side you have also now with the support of a lot of military office in ranks. or supporting him his bicycle has mice and i really mean his i'm going to get it in for us presidency is a general he's a retired general who actually declared dead he would support media of a coup if there is an iraqi in the country after an eventual loss in the election if the other side you have. some sort of bump it from that's what a lot of people has some criticisms or something to say about that because he's not really the candidate lays that kind it's just the puppet and the military would not accept a victory of a puppet or a victory of someone who was actually in jail because. of which is the president of
4:36 am
the workers' party repeated lee said that they were going to settle the creep if they win so the whole. lot of seconds. so i was just going to tell you that there is breaking news of every every moment there's. seems the running mate for votes a lot of just said it will accept election results just a few minutes ok. back then i had. a very. it was really looking for here so it's just amazing yeah i like to thank you so much for bringing bringing that and it shows really just the fast paced nature of this and i'm going to go back to you but you mention puppet or that some people say that had that is a puppet others say the word doll i want to show this kind of we got in live from sammy who says why are people only talking about well snarl and had dad had that has alliances he's a doll and all this hand but this this this comment here seems to bring up the fact that there are a lot more candidates in this race than just those two it's a crowded field what do you make of the other candidates. well. you have some
4:37 am
let's say interesting candidates from all places from left to right running you have for the center left you have cereal you have my ina on the center right you have a way to have opening which is what the governor of some poll but the thing is as the country is really polarized it's normally people are just going to the to also not a lot to lose or to have that was going to say look they're going to have that as the only two viable options because as i said they're not exactly voting for someone they want their whole to against the other so these other candidates over ten different candidates we have just thirteen correct me if i'm wrong but i guess we have thirteen candidates. they really really don't stand a chance because really the country is voting against someone and this look and so yesterday i had an inmate there presidential debate and they were they all their candidate so as actually using that as arguments to try to get their chance to go to the second round you would think that let's not go with trains let's not the
4:38 am
radical to the right or radical to the left we have options and they were proposing themselves as these are absent here but there's a stream as to discourse somewhat exaggerated because of the not to have their job though. it belongs in the workers' party which has moved further laughed since two thousand and sixteen when president dilma rousseff was impeached it's hard to say that a party that's played elections and govern for such a long time is empty democratic committee when we talk about your boss and others came to see which is a new thing there are reasonable concerns based on things that he said in the past about one of the dictatorship what but of but also about what he would do if you were elected president and that's also why i don't that there's not a common element in foreign politics but here we we measure something we call rejection oh in which is how much we don't want someone to be president and that
4:39 am
it's thirty is a it's. about thirty percent when i was about forty six forty five forty two different folks so if you get more than forty percent in the boat it's basically impossible for you to get elected before the age of the sixteen when brazil was living the political crisis impeachment all that good at the silver fifty seven percent of rejection so that means if you present it in a stricter it is very likely that the workers' party the suv or whatever would have a very slim chance of winning but now that rejection is falling most of your goals and all the other candidates that are also part of this race and look at the amount of money say oh and by calendar i love that insight there thank you for the idea of a rejection poll that is not something that everyone would be familiar with but i also love hearing your take because you are all journalists covering this and so you kind of have a bird's eye view unfortunately just like in the u.s. and in other parts of the world that doesn't necessarily mean that the populace
4:40 am
trusts what you say and what your your your audience is they don't necessarily agree with what you are reporting so many people in brazil are worried about the spread of rumors and lies being passed off as news take a look at this something but as you surprised me. i want to ask you it's a specific is a company which is owned by the which you hamas which came to this business only to a specific usa be happy to see you guys to help us oh yeah i'll have. a film i saw a couple going to this proposal and. yeah but it's you know so for my soon to be. chief human there's no way so newsrooms around brazil are monitoring what's really become a birol spread of disinter mention in the run up to this election a project called come pro body take a look at my laptop here it's bringing together twenty four different brazilian media outlets to fact check and to verify information on the instant messaging giant whatsapp you heard him mention just right there the group has. publishing
4:41 am
power as well so three newsrooms must agree to the facts of any election related story before it's allowed to be published so keep that in mind because we got this live comment from sammy on you tube you says the media is manipulating resilience with big news. it's also that us messages are well like with saw here in the united states he thinks that when we save facts when we say we reproduce the things he was saying before against women like he would rape a congresswoman because she says you wouldn't rape her because she was. he says that the media is being unfair to him in a lot of these is fake it's fake news but we actually reproduce in effect it's a big problem and he's the candidates that come things are also helping to promote fake news but there is a big campaign in brazil against fake news like they hire a lecturer court in brazil you is taking different of these fights with other
4:42 am
parties more than thirty i think thirty five is joy there for its face google. is also part of an effort the u.s. is sending the u.s. i'm sorry some think things from washington are going to brazil to see the impact of fake fake news could have. actual over there in their rented a higher courts in brazil already said it election in the constitution will have a provision to say an election could be cancel if it's proved that result was influenced by fake news so it's a big big issue in a like you are saying what's up in brazil i think about south of the second biggest market for whites up in the world after india to pray in a lot of fake news information get in our hands i receive from my family group or from my friends a lot of information that are not true and they i ask did you check this information and the answer is always no i didn't write it because you know what's good coming through and what's not where you see i see you nodding you're your head
4:43 am
