the candidate targeted has previously spoken about increasing pressure on i saw in the region. france is accusing iran of being behind a foiled attack near paris earlier this year they say tehran's intelligence agency which is led by the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei tried and failed to bomb an exiled iranian opposition groups rally in june iran denies french accusations over the alleged bomb plot. britain's former foreign secretary boris johnson today calling on the governing conservative party to throw out the prime minister to resign mays breaks it to proposals he says the so-called checkers plan is an attempt to mislead the voters he's made those comments in the last two hours at an event on the sidelines of the governing conservative party conference mr johnson has been highly critical of mrs mishandling of the brakes at negotiations ever since he resigned in july don't be fooled by the suggestion that the e.u. will ultimately reject these proposals for this what they want above all is to
11:01 pm
demonstrate to any other country that might dream of following suit that you cannot leave the e.u. without suffering adverse political and economic consequences and what the check was proposed showed is that the united kingdom for all its power and might and network of influences around the world for all its venerable parliamentary history was unable ultimately to take back control. let's talk now to our correspondent lawrence leigh lawrence he clearly doesn't like chuckers checkers or me i'm mixing up chuck and checkers there so it's hash tag chuck checkers is he offering an alternative to mrs may's plans. well he didn't say anything new i mean we know what his alternative is which is to say to the european union stuff off go away we don't need you read the old britain we won't surrender to you and we will just walk away not pay you any money at all
11:02 pm
because remember the u.k. is talking about paying the european union about forty billion euros as a as a settlement for leaving and do our own thing and trade with the rest of the world of course we'll stay friends with europe and all this that but in terms it is just him saying britain is a great country and we will not be but it is a submission by but by these people so it's all you know he's trying to sound a bit like churchill in in that sort of sense but the detail is almost negligible and this is what people complain about him so much though so well you didn't say anything about the irish border for example what's what's going to be like if you want a hard border between north nolens which is in the u.k. out of the european union and republic of ireland which is in the european union then how are you going to do it and it is not a word the sort of brushed it off is if it's just a detail it doesn't really matter very much and we'll find a way and it will be ok what he has got for him is absolutely outstanding passion
11:03 pm
you know there are three hours to get into the meeting and there was a whole load of m.p.'s there who support his vision of a harbor exits and there were enough of them on his side because he's not to tell mic for their cause that they could vote down some reason mase plan to be mostly out a little bit even of the european union and so in that sense even if he can come across many people as a bit of a fraud he's really very important particularly to the the grassroots and the conservative party membership here who are. absolutely adore as you were talking to us there lawrence we did have a cutaway shot of that front row of m.p.'s i notice david davis former bricks that secretary in duncan smith as well former conservative party leader to those numbers stack up enough not just to fire a warning shot across mrs may's bricks it burrows if you will but also to put together a leadership challenge because everyone knows boris johnson he was fifty percent of the architecture of bricks it but he wants to be british prime minister.
11:04 pm
well yeah and so this is where he's got a problem it's if it's quite complicated i said he's very popular with the membership out in the country he's really not that popular among members of parliament in the same way many of them think he's a liar that he's deceitful you know once upon a time boris johnson said he'd love it if turkey joined the european union and there he is campaigning for leave on the grounds of the turkey joins the european union then britain could be invaded by tens of millions of muslims so he can do these sorts of about turns all the time and people say you've got no fixed opinions we can't really trust your leadership he hasn't got the votes to mount a leadership challenge against reason may in that sense he's stuck but what they can do if if the labor party and all the and all the dissenters and other conservative party all voted against it they could bring the whole may plan down and that could cost her her leadership lawrence good to talk to as ever many thanks

11:21 pm
resigned in july up next is the stream i'll see you here from seven g. tomorrow thanks for watching. capturing a moment in time snapshots of. the story providing a glimpse into someone else's world. 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 currently the two leading candidates r.j. edible scenario of the social liberal party and fernando had that 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
11:22 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 as sonia 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 for now though 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 they're going to do that i support is wrong with them from 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 election. the divide in brazilian society was on display this weekend
11:23 pm
on television 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 house ellen now or not him about protests people shouted you can cry women will take you down. to united women will never be defeated. they chanted wilson or oh you fascists women will put you in line.
11:24 pm
11:25 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 raquel cromwell 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 paolo maldini c.e.o. 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
11:26 pm
sizable protests in support of him well i think it is show how polarized presuming is right now that he's a cool say 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 like because since he was he came he became a congress i mean in the beginning of it in ninety it's he's being very controversial he makes a very offensive or a man remarks against women against black people against gays. and he is being in that time over there here ready defend in their 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 but a lot of the abuse of human rights in torture here ready defended torture is being the fainting in spreading violence and he was recently just a victim of violence he was
11:27 pm
a stand so i think people are united against this idea of hate and intolerance and then daughters 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 a better a lot of people voted for bill so loud i can see that in my family it's voting actually for it to protest the other side they don't just vote it's not necessarily a boat actually sure they don't see the party they are against 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 most people that were protesting on saturday they were really upset was also not about they were also trying to push their candidates
11:28 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 bill so not a legitimate be so aggressive against women in the last years or so but the political parties have also seized the opportunity to try to drive bush from out of out of the out of the runoff that is transit for the eighth of course there is there's slim chance that happens because this works for bush not in the polls is still very high but they're trying to throw some last punches to 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
11:29 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 the 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 the extremes. in one side and also not on the other side the from different balls but it's not extreme the workers' party. and how 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 voting for someone they want but there are forty for someone they give someone they don't want you see thousands of people who take
11:30 pm
to the streets to protest that and also now in 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 that was the workers' party but they actually have to fault they think they have to vote for her dad in order to prevent. from winning supporters off the right also i do the same support. 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 also now there's some new announces i guess was another baby by by here ex-wife there still has the country still has to investigate it's all of the news from the past few days so this is pretty much an election of polarization of two very different sides don't necessarily extreme sides. in people halting to prevent
11:31 pm
the other from we so i want to show what some of that polarization looks like and this is sarah who tweets so sad to see some of my friends dismiss their candidates racists massage and earth 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 enough of a belief of the military who so interesting to put excited in that thought of potential to. break this down for us what do we know about how dodd well the problem would have bad right now is that he's very connected with lula which is a president the brazilian president just sent to jail few months ago and he was the mayor of san paolo. some people like him but
11:32 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 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 and in order to go over 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 luna's image to appeal for a day or forwarders especially in the north now to present to the former president being put in himself as a candidate even though the electrode just says he would not allow that to happen so that is drawing on the pools in this is a scaring a lot of people this is why you see what is going no a lot of people doing disprove. it seems interesting that you mentioned you
11:33 pm
mentioned disconnects in their memory so i want to go to you with this because disconnecting himself from 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 is a political genius but this process has shown is that he has managed to organize brazil's elections from jail which is just quite a maze but the book concerns that most people will have that i said early meaning that they will end at the end of the election problem is after the election and there's due to the illegitimacy issue because what's the matter has already suggested he will not recognize any results unless he wins and if the workers'
11:34 pm
party loses they will say well if i had been allowed to run we would have won the election and makes this election throws well so we're now looking into an election that somehow at least what the poll suggests is tipping to work so i doubt because of all the rejection that. few days but it doesn't mean that the election will end brazil's four year longer the political crisis the next day as many people express can be a very troubled as well and a headline here for what you just mentioned brazil's was not all says he will not accept election result if he loses so it's something to look forward to it this has already been pledged. your take on this because that that means almost one and there's a guarantee then that we will see a runoff and two if this happens what does that mean for president. well that tweets that he showed about a military coup is something there are a lot of people was really afraid in brazil right now that it might. take place
11:35 pm
another another coup because in one side you have also now with the support of a lot of military high office in ranks. or supporting his bicycle his ice i really mean his i started it was going to full credit for his presidency is a general he's a retired general who actually declared dead he would support the idea of. who if there is anger in the country after an eventual also no election if the other side you have. this sort of puppet that's what a lot of people has some criticisms or something to say about that because he's not read it and it lays there and it is 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. hoffman is the president of the workers' party repeated lee said that they were going to settle the creek if they win so. a lot of second. so i was just going to tell you that does
11:36 pm
break the news of every every moment there's. it seems the running mate for a lot of just said it will accept election results just a few minutes ok. so it's just amazing yeah i'd like to thank you so much for bringing that and it shows really just the fast pace nature of this and i'm going to go back to you but you mention puppet or that some people say that about is a puppet others say the word doll i want to share this kind of we got in live from sammy who says why are people only talking about will snarl and have dad had that has alliances he's a doll and will 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
11:37 pm
let's say interesting candidates from all bases from left to right right and you have for the center left you have seattle you have my ina on the center right you have a couple you have all coming which is that was the governor some call but the thing is as the country is really polarized it's normally people are just going to this also not all too long to have that i was going to say little 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 a guest thirteen correct me if i'm wrong but i guess we have thirty candidates. they really don't stand a chance because really the country is voting against someone and this like and so they have said they had and they made their presidential they made and they were they are their candidate so as actually using that as a command to try and get their chance to go to the second round and you were saying that let's not go with trains let's not the radical to the right or radical to the
11:38 pm
left we have options and they were proposing themselves as these are sent here but there's a stream of. discourse somewhat exaggerated because of her not to have that job though. it belongs in the workers' party which has moved further laughed since two thousand and sixteen when president the most that was impeached it's hard to say that a party that's played elections and governed for such a long time is anti democratic in any way when we talk about terrible so not a scandal see which is a new thing there are reasonable concerns based on things that he said in the past about one of the dictatorships what but a 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 which is how much we don't want someone to be president and that it's thirty seven it's. about thirty percent also matters it's about forty six forty
11:39 pm
five forty two different full so if you get more than forty percent of the ball that's basically impossible to get elected before the end of the sixteen whimpers it was living in the little crisis beach with all that. fifty seven percent of rejection so let me present. it is very likely that the workers' party of the suv or whatever would have a very slim chance of winning but now that rejection of the most reliable some out of the other candidates that are also part of this race and many say oh and by helena 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 other parts of the world that doesn't necessarily mean that the populace trusts what you say and what your your your audience is they don't necessarily agree with
11:40 pm
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 because i want to ask you is a specific is a common jesus but then we see how muslims came to this business only the specific has said be happy to see. your column have. a couple going to. be your cup of but as you know so from the. chief good human there's no way so newsrooms around brazil are monitoring what's really become a viral 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 power as well so three newsrooms must agree to the facts of any election related
11:41 pm
story before it's allowed to be published so keep that in mind because we got this live comment from sammy on you tube he says the media is manipulating resilience with big news. it's also that us message is a little like with saw here in the united states he thinks that when we we save facts when we say we reproduce the things he was saying before i guess we may like he would rape a congresswoman because she's so 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 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 couric in brazil you is staking different of these with other parties more than thirty i think it is joy. for its facebook. is
