5:00 pm
the spike that happened in the number of cholera cases this was caused by an strike on water sanitation facilities is that what your report found. well look we conducted this survey a simple survey of our health centers in the summers june july and august data we found as you said almost in near tripling of cholera cases during that period now sivits and believes the this is due to a number of factors and as you mentioned attacks on water infrastructure is definitely one of them in late july airstrikes were reported on some of the water systems and her data which affected the water supply but we've also seen more than half a million people displaced from her data just since june when the saudi and a morality led coalition launched a new york offensive to retake the port city and that has led to a huge wave of displacement as i mentioned and those people are living in very cramped conditions with little access to clean water and sanitation and then
5:01 pm
another reason is malnutrition as you as your reporter mentioned in their in their piece malnourished children are much more likely to contract and die from diarrheal diseases like cholera actually up to twelve times more likely so that's why we're seeing a spike in suspected color in her data or those go through some of those reasons if we can first of all any hope of being able to get somebody in there to fix in deal with the lack of clean water and fix these sanitation facilities. well look it's it's a war zone and it's very difficult to get access but save the children is working on the ground other n.g.o.s are working on the ground but we really need more access and that means the warring parties really need to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law which is to protect civilians from harm in
5:02 pm
these kinds of situations i mean this should not be happening and twenty eighteen children should not be dying from preventable causes like cholera and diptheria or from hunger or disease we need a port to remain open and functioning we need the major supply routes between her data and the rest of the country to remain open and frankly all parties in this conflict are to blame for the grave violations that are that are happening against children i'm curious to know what kind of response you get where the problem lies when you when you ask for things like you that access or to be able to evacuate some of the sick people out of there. look ultimately you can't evacuate you know entire towns and cities and the scale of the problem here is huge so really we should be able to help people inside yemen and that has to do with access if i may i just like to demonstrate the suffering of yemeni people with a little story our team spoke to
5:03 pm
a mother of two who suffers from acute watery diarrhea and their whole family is forced to drink water from an open and a dirty well because they just don't have any other choice and her husband hasn't been paid a salary for over a year and so they don't even have enough money to buy their cooking gas to boil the contaminated water that they that they collect and this story is repeated hundreds of thousands of times across yemen this is not a unique story so we need to get clean water to these communities and to these families but we also need to urge the warring parties to come to the negotiating table in good faith and actually find a political solution because they're losing an entire generation of children. thank you very much for talking to us about it. most still ahead on al-jazeera. the white house orders the f.b.i. to expand its investigation into sexual assault allegations against supreme court

a more healthy lifestyle. is president of the union for international cancer control she says why the political will is needed to address the problem. so what we're saying is as countries rise up the development index cancer becomes one of those diseases that is more prevalent and the absence of early detection systems so particularly screening for bell breast and cervical cancers and inherently the infrastructure to provide surgery right therapy and came with therapy manes that most people are diagnosed late and therefore died so we see the biggest. difference in something like childhood cancer where in a developed country the survival is between eighty and ninety percent and in the least developed parts of the world survival is less than twenty percent and those those differences are just not acceptable we say some political will around things like tobacco control and that's

5:21 pm
restrict the inquiry is the stream now. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories they're listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most they're listening post on alex's era. emily could be in the string brazil had to the polls on october seventh to vote in the first round of general elections that of sparts 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 heard from our resilient community on why they support their candidate. the
5:22 pm
president our support in the upcoming presidential elections is called war and we're going to from portugal because he's the only one who brings an actual fresh new start for brazil in politics his support of the liberals and so he was a shadow because they're both social movement leaders that have struggled for democracy social justice and human rights on the ground with the people well i'm voting for bush on our own and he's a very bad persian 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 good days that i support is wrong with from moving party 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 his election. the divide in brazilian society was on display this weekend on television
5:23 pm
some of the candidates sparred over policy 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 air boats and 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 hot island now or not him about protests people shouted you can cry women will take you down. to the united women will never be defeated. they chanted wilson or oh you fascist women will put you in line.
5:24 pm
feminism is revolution. and some protests are shared why they came to be heard ah. ah . on sunday supporters of wilson are also took to the streets chanting their name for him mito are legend.
5:25 pm
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 subgoal garcia is an independent journalist he's normally based in brazil and in sao paulo more you see or 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 them and then smaller scale but still sizable protests in support
5:26 pm
of him well i think it is 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 why bring a lot of people against most of our industries is like because since he was he came he became a congress man in the beginning of it in ninety it's he's being very controversial he makes a very offensive remark my remarks against women against black people against gays. and he is being in that time over there here ready defended them back and they return to the military dictatorship in brazil which will resume full sixty four to eighty five and it was a very dark mall. much in brazil what a lot of the abuse of human rights in torture here ready defended torture is being the fading in spreading violence and he was recently just a victim of violence he was
5:27 pm
a stand so i think people are united against this idea of hate and intolerance and then 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 voted for him because he's better a lot of people voted for bill so now 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 actually sure they don't see the party they are i guess right now that is a worker's party duwayne rule of spidey. raisin in the polls like we are 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 those people that were protesting on saturday they were really upset was also not about they were also trying to push their candidates
5:28 pm
forward that means most of the left leaning candidates in this race and some centrists as well oh of course 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 trail of candidates using nearly known and that has taken their t.v. programs or their internet material as well so i would say that the leaders of the movement were women because of the bosal not a legitimate being so aggressive against women in the last years or so but the political parties have also seized the opportunity to try to drive bill some of them out of the out of the run of that it's tragic for the eight of course there is there's slim chance 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 just see if one of these other two this can take his place in the room so even to the aggressive agenda against women and i want to share with our audience exactly what that looks
5:29 pm
like for many people this is 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 you'll say that the polarization in britain there is taking place in brazil is important to have in mind we're not talking about extremes. in one side and also not on the other side. from different goals but it's not extreme the workers' party. that belongs is not an extreme left political party though also not just from the extreme right but this election what we see is 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
5:30 pm
the streets to protest i also know you know a lot of their mother 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 the workers' party but they actually have to fault they think they have to vote for her garden in order to prevent. from winning and to borders off the right also i do the same support. so not just to prevent the 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 baby by bay here ex-wife there still has the country still has to investigate it's all over the news from the past few days so this is pretty much an election of polarizations of two very different sides don't necessarily stream sides. in people halting to prevent the other from we so i want to show what some of that polarization looks
5:31 pm
like and 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 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 presidency but very afraid of the near end of it a belief of the military coup so interesting to put excited in that thought of potential to. break this down for us what do we know about dodd well the problem would have that right now is that he is very connected with lula which is a president the brazilian president just sent to jail a few months ago and he was the mayor of san paolo. some people like him but
5:32 pm
a lot like you are saying he's so people thing there for him in order to advance he would have to disconnect himself and you know be different 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 and in order to go over and then 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 luna's image to appeal for a day or forwarders especially in the north and now the president james to the former president being put in himself as a candidate even though the electrodes just says he would not allow that to happen so that is drawing on the polls in this is a scaring a lot of people this is why you see what is going oh a lot of people doing these protests of all right now it seems interesting that you
5:33 pm
mentioned you mentioned disconnects in their memory so i want to go to you with this because disconnecting himself. but we saw a jail time endorsement result of 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 how don wants to make the disconnection because that's what makes him so powerful at this moment or like new or not he's a political genius and 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 i said early meaning that they will end at the end of the election problem is after the election ends their state of the illegitimacy issue for sure because what's the matter has already suggested he will not recognize any results unless he will.
