a school trip in an area known to be prone to flooding and with strong weather warnings and it is the last day of campaigning before brazil's presidential runoff election on sunday we're going to be live in rio de janeiro as this divisive controversial period in the streets and online reaches its. and u.s. president. and suspicious packages blaming the media and. reaction and. with the news grid streaming online through you tube facebook live in an al-jazeera dot com turkey is ramping up the pressure on saudi arabia to explain who killed jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul three weeks ago now president of the police have more evidence that will be revealed. and these are his words when

the time comes he's urging the saudis meanwhile to reveal the location of casualties body adding their explanations so far have been quote childish and comical the city prosecutor will head to assemble on sunday to take part in the investigation. of course there is other information and evidence that we are holding and they will be used when the time comes but there's no need to rush because in the first instance the saudi officials have to explain who killed. on monday they sent the chief prosecutor to stumble they will meet with our chief prosecutor and have discussions covered what other saudi officials made such announcements which gave us considerable concern because they said that he had left the consulate of course these explanations were quite comical personally.

if he had left the consulate would he not pick up his fiancee who was waiting for him outside these childish excuses to not befit a responsible state and they did not befit responsible statesmanship. now jamal khashoggi say had ginger's has also spoken publicly for the first time since the murder remember she was the one waiting outside when he went into the saudi consulate never came back out here is some of what she told to have a tech station. you know that engine in the as he into the consulate he was a bit worried he really was worried in fact i was more worried than him because they didn't allow me in and not only did they not allow me in the consulate wasn't the sort of place where you could just pop in and see what's happened to your friend this is the security offices another security beyond that so it was just simply impossible for me to go in there after he winton i was continuously watching

to see who emerged from the consulate we were both worries so his trial strengthened in istanbul outside that consulate to talk to us now charles it's a good reminder isn't it hearing from jamal's fiance about the human side of this story we keep talking about the politics and finding out and investigations at the heart of it is a man who disappeared and there's the woman who loves him now finally speaking. that's right yeah and quite an emotional interview as you'd expect at times and when she spoke at length about what she said is to quiz show she's a white he wrote not just for himself but as a representative of other journalists in this region around the world who were facing repression from there or intimidation from their respective governments and she described him yet again as as a patriot somebody who really loved saudi arabia we've heard us say before when

she's spoken to the press as you say that's the first on she's been on television which he's spoken to newspapers she said that said he didn't like being called a dissident he said she said that c likes being described as somebody who used his pain as a way of of of giving more freedom and putting putting more pressure on governments to allow journalists to have more of a voice interesting me you know talking about in this in this interview talking referring to his life in saudi arabia she said that he'd always dreamed of when he did die of being buried in his home city of medina also some quite interesting snippets as well evidence that seems to contradict some of the things that certainly we reported earlier on in this crisis she referred to what she said was the fact that mr cruise shows he had not been advised by the saudi embassy in the

u.s. to come here to istanbul to do the marriage paperwork care that had been reported by the u.s. in the u.s. media previously. she also said that although she was nervous they were both nervous about going to the consulate on oktober the second she refers to the previous meeting that could show she had had inside the consulate on the friday before september the twenty eighth when she said. that she had told her that he was treated with with quite a lot of respect things had been quite calm in the embassy again this implies that the plan may have been you know put into place seemingly to lure him back to the embassy on auto but the second one of course he was killed charles let's switch back to what president otoh on had to say a little bit earlier it seems that he is drawing this out as much as possible and every time he speaks about it the rhetoric and the words and the tone get that bit

tougher on saudi arabia yeah i mean today i think it's fair to say was he's he's most assertive speech since this crisis began saying that there was that the turks have more information more solid evidence they say that they will release in his words when the time is right demanding to know where this body is and saying to the saudis well basically you know the rest of these eighteen men they were believed to be in the consulate at the time of the day somebody amongst them must know where this body is and he referred obviously to this expected arrival over the weekend of the saudis prosecutor suggesting the obvious that he will be bringing information with him and needs to share that in reference to these eighteen and again of the being arrested again urged on saying that he wants to try it here he says that yes despite there being the vienna convention the fact that

you know the consul staffie have diplomatic immunity the mere fact that such a he is crime happened in turkey means that they have to be troy period and some of the language they use this to say calling this court in their excuse these childish and comical i think if you put that in the kind of cultural context of what we're looking at here those words to the leadership which seem to be directed to the king and indeed the crown prince himself of is very strong language indeed. right thank you charles for that update shall stratford's in istanbul for us a couple of other notes to go through jamal khashoggi is eldest son has now arrived in the u.s. after being allowed to leave saudi arabia. had been banned from traveling outside the kingdom remember he was the one photographed meeting the crown prince mohammed bin salman on tuesday a photo opportunity widely criticized as being insensitive that's him there on the left the screen now evidence in the turkish investigation has linked to question

which he's killing to the office of the crown prince our guest joining us today on skype firms and john's very in vermont is robert ford former united states ambassador to syria now senior fellow at the middle east institute so he knows the region well the first thing i might put to you is actually something from one of our viewers watching on facebook live they send us an comments and questions and they've said surely the u.s. must expel saudi arabian diplomats like it did with the russians right. but it sounds logical but maybe you can tell us why it maybe isn't. well first of all the saudi ambassador has left the united states he returned to riyadh very shortly after the news of jamal's death came out in the media and he has not returned so there is the top saudi diplomat already is gone. i think the american administration the trumpet ministration now will go more slowly

and more carefully of course the cia director was just in turkey to look at turkish evidence turkish intelligence and supposedly she briefed president trump yesterday thursday. i think now the american administration will wait to see what else is done in riyadh whether riyadh to hold people accountable and the real question in all of this especially on the american side is what did crown prince mohamed bin zalman know and when did he know it and the american response to saudi arabia really will depend on the answer to those questions and would you say from what we've seen so far of the crown prince mohammed bin someone i know we only saw him briefly at the at the investment conference the other day but he just seemed to basically be saying yes it's terrible what happened and we'll

get to the bottom of it but i mean what do you think he would give anything further away than that. well i think we don't know yet there clearly is a sort of diplomatic dance underway between on korea and riyadh. your program a little while ago had comments from turkish president aired on and so it's the the exact role of crown prince mohammad bills and someone is still not in the public domain here in the united states i'm not even sure american intelligence has pinpointed exactly. what mohammad bin samana knew and when he even knew it but if it becomes public in the united states that he was deeply involved in this then there is going to be big pressure both in the american congress as well as in media and academic circles for

a very stern response from the united states you mentioned president there we heard him speaking a little bit earlier what do you make of the way he is playing this as i suggested to our correspondent he seems to be stringing this out and getting as much the sounds the sounds crass but almost getting as much mileage out of as possible he knows the world is watching tookie so he is trying to show that he's the one in control. i have very much the same opinion i'm not exactly sure why physically erwan is doing this clearly he is in control of the media messages that come out and doing a little bit of new information every few days certainly helps keep the turks in control of the media story but is he doing that in order to force some kind of concessions from the saudi government and if so what concessions financial concessions political concessions of some kind stop clear. is he doing it

in order to slowly but steadily put pressure on saudi arabia and show washington that turkey is a more reliable friend in the middle east region turkish american ties have been extremely difficult over the past year and so what they're going once exact motive is is not clear to me yet former u.s. ambassador to syria robert ford is now senior fellow at the middle east institute excellent talking to you thank you for all your expertise there. well. don't forget our latest updates page as well every new detail we get on the case goes up there as well as on the channel there's also plenty of social media updates there are editions of al-jazeera programs like a inside story embedded in their links to articles which look in-depth at the jamal khashoggi case all the latest updates you will find it at al-jazeera dot com if not

in the what's trending section it's usually there then you'll find a link pretty much anywhere in the stories and you can get in touch with us as well as you have been as well hashtag a j news grid so film was asking water the chances that one will use this as leverage and put it to rest what we were discussing up there with our guest about the position of power which president does seem to be in and sort of drip feeding the information which is coming out hope that answered your question facebook dot com slash al-jazeera plus one seven four five one triple one four nine that is your direct line to us you can message us on whatsapp and on telegram and send us any pictures and videos which maybe help us tell the stories as well we are moving on now and two more public figures in the u.s. have been targeted by suspicious packages in the mail the f.b.i. intercepted packages addressed to democratic senator cory booker and also to james clapper who is a former director of national intelligence others targeted in the past two days

include the former president barack obama his vice president joe biden former candidate hillary clinton officials close to the investigation of said some of the packages went through a postal facility and opa-locka florida and one person has been arrested the latest with kimberly how that has in washington for us at the white house is actually interesting to me as i listed all of that and listed all the names it actually starts to sound quite extraordinary that well two days essentially a little more than two days doesn't would be bombs two such high profile people. that's right and now we can confirm the justice department reporting that in fact there is as you said a man in custody in connection with this in florida we believe that there will be some press conference being held by the justice department sometime after eight hundred g.m.t. but essentially what we have here is old fashioned police work very extraordinary in terms of the numbers of people targeted but even more extraordinary the rapid

pace in which this arrest has come about and that has a lot to do with the fact that. pipe bombs or explosive devices especially when they're crudely made can really be a goldmine in terms of evidence they contain according to an a.t.f. expert i spoke to him between our news hours here the fact he told me that you know there is d.n.a. evidence in the form of hairs there can be serial numbers on the wiring that's used and it's relatively easy to do in the modern banking system to trace all of this back through transactions of credit cards the store the seller the manufacturer and literally you just have to work your way back when it seems that that may be what has happened in this case as the americans continue to learn about more and more packages being discovered this police work was happening behind the scenes which we now know has resulted in the arrest of at least one man and just so you know it can be we're actually looking at pictures live shots from plantation florida right now which is apparently where the arrest has happened is

a white van which they are focusing on right at the moment tell me about how this is all affecting the climates the political climate the social climate in the u.s. kimberly what are we now eleven days out from the midterms. yeah well this is affected the president too was tweeting in the middle of the night kind of pushing back on the fact that many people hold him responsible for the tone that has existed in the united states certainly i don't know if it's fair to say that he is solely responsible but he certainly has stoked what has already been a very divisive political climate for years in the united states and you could make the argument donald trump might be a product of that having said that it's unusual for a president to be tweeting at three am pushing back at one of the networks c.n.n. that was recipient of one of these package bombs in fact in one of the tweets he accused them of over inflating this story so. the reason that many people have been

criticizing the president all of this despite the fact that he has condemned this type of violence as we are ten days out from a congressional election that will determine control of the u.s. congress in the next session. traditionally the presidential role has been in times like this to be a unite or to be the consoler in chief and we've heard this repeatedly throughout trump's presidency he's made the decision he does not want to do that he's continued to lash out his critics as we should say a fairly his critics have done to him so this is sort of a reminder if you will now that the imminent focus the danger perhaps now is lessened as a result of having at least one person in custody will have to follow the justice department closely when it holds press conference and then there will be the discussion that will unfold beyond that about where america stands as we approach very potentially pivotal elections that whether or not americans choose to move forward with this continued davis of miss that exists in this current political state complete nonsense of the white house for us this friday thank you kimberly i

think the problem this is just building on what complete was saying is that for so many people out there they see president trump as fueling it not just talking about it actually fueling a list a vision what if you've been finding today. when once again present. trump has lashed out at the mainstream media and the democrats blaming them for much of the anger in society he also said that it was their responsibility to set the national political tone early on friday he tweeted funny how lowly rated c.n.n. and others can criticize me at will even lenny me for the current spate of bombs and read this ridiculously comparing this to september eleventh and the oklahoma city bombing yet when i criticize them they go wild and scream it's just not presidential and there has been quite a strong reaction to this online so mechanic senator chris murphy condemned the president's tweet calling on americans to rise up adding i didn't think is not this is a could sink to this ugly of a place but it has and we now need to vote and this user has responded with

a cartoon of trump citing some of the more controversial quotes now many of the people that were sent these packages containing the exposes have also been repeatedly criticized by trump they include some of the democratic party's biggest names from barack obama hillary clinton joe biden and congresswoman maxine waters and let's take a look back at some of the comments that trump has made about them being married. a persian ever to. the presidency of the united church where no buffer took hundreds of millions of dollars and sure rose george soros took hundreds of millions of dollars i hate president obama today just like a baby obama came along and took them off of the dreher ship and made him buy shows . like you individually. like you.

all congresswoman maxine waters has been one of the president's strongest critics she faced criticism back in june after she called in her supporters to harass members of trance government it was in response to the u.s. policy of separating immigrant families here's what she said. let me share with you things we have to show up in the judiciary cabinet ministers. to introduce this to the gas station you just alluded to. you. but waters is not the only high profile figure to go off to trump america all actor robert de niro speech at the tony awards earlier this year. i'm going to say one thing. and trump has attacked the press as the enemy of the people calling for the heads

of c.n.n. and n.b.c. to be fired over what he calls poor performance and bias now c.n.n. in particular has been in the firing line this video is said last year by trump himself where he's portrayed wrestling and punching a figure whose head is replaced by a c.n.n. logo but the network has been fighting back refusing claims of reporting misinformation about the us and the structure this isn't. some people might try to tell you that it's happening. they might scream but now banana over and over and over again. they might put the needle in all caps. you might even start to believe that this is a big. but it's not. is an apple. had to be clear we still don't know who is responsible for sending these packages

why these particular individuals were singled out but we do want to hear from you and get your thoughts on the story so connect us he is the hash tag eighteen is great weekend to simply missed me directly and that for him it's thank you this is one of those rare occasions where i'm just going to direct you to a search term on al-jazeera dot com rather than a specific article because if you just search for trump media and then click the programs filter for example this is what you come up with so much excellent coverage of donald trump's ongoing battles with the media a lot of it obviously is from the listening post that is up front and stand in line documentaries it is the story that seemingly never ends that was the special series the unfair game how trump won just search for as i said trump media at al jazeera dot com israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made a surprise visit to the gulf state of amman netanyahu met the money lead us to discuss peace initiatives in the middle east the last time an israeli leader visited him on was back in one thousand nine hundred six the palestinian president mahmoud abbas was also in amman just four days ago why is it all happening that

south akiva eldar senior columnist for a monitor news website joining us on skype from tel aviv always a pleasure to see you sir why is this happening now. actually this is been happening for a while but we didn't get footage and the question is why are they really revealing those relationships now it was like you know israel and the gulf countries were lovers behind scenes not in the open air and the question is what made the money are who does footage and allow it danielle you called it on facebook and the series is first of all i think that we have to look at the issue g.s. . allows other partners of the arab peace initiative from two thousand

and two other members of the arab league and neighbors of the of saudi arabia to take a small lead of the process mahmoud abbas abu mazen visited the home i had recently and. both parties have mentioned online as. a potential facilitator of the peace process the other thing is the fact that there are dollars from talks about the deal of the century or the ultimate deal when he talks about that he means that there will be new partners. if you look at netanyahu has a speech at the u.n. in september you will find that he said that thanks to iran or other countries that have been keeping far from this well keeping the distance from israel and now getting closer and closer because we have a mutual enemy so if you put together all these elements maybe you get an answer.

amman itself is an interesting play one of the quieter gulf states you would say but am i right in saying sort of in the background they are a quiet negotiator who do stay as neutral as you can in the middle east yeah. it was published a few weeks ago that the qatari envoy met in cyprus with minister of defense on talking about gaza so i'm on is not the only extra player if you lie in the relationship between israel and the our countries the other thing is. you know there is no break you the saudis are now taking a step back they are getting a distance from the light and the only money can afford it i remember that the emir of. published a few years ago an article in the washington post criticizing the op countries for

keeping a distance from israel and avoiding talking directly to the israeli public and the saudis didn't like this and i remember i asked who interviewed him you know and the message i got is you know well let's put it on the back burner and let's wait and i know that the saudis have a clear message to bahrain that you better. keep quiet and somehow they feel that they can afford it is obvious i'm not the only game in town akiva eldar always good to get your thoughts thank you for joining us today thank you. one other note from the region remember every friday since march palestinians have been holding their protests on the israeli gaza border i would say five palestinians have been killed by israeli gunfire since they began on march thirtieth is ready forces have killed at least two hundred and seven palestinians.

a story that started developing yesterday a flood in jordan and rescuers are still searching the shorelines around the dead sea in jordan after those flash floods killed at least twenty one people most of them were children on an outing organized by this school almost forty people were rescued off the helicopters and divers were dispatched heavy rainfall was an obvious cause but there are also a lot of questions about a lack of preventative measures even king abdullah himself tweeted this just a few hours ago the english translation below my sorrow and pain are severe and great he said that it was only matched that sort of is matched only by his anger towards all those who failed to take action that could have prevented this painful incident but from what of his reporting from near the dead sea. the search and rescue operations have continued throughout friday even though there was little hope since the morning to find anyone alive that said one body was found in the afternoon bringing the total number of that so far to twenty one there are still

some missing it's unclear whether their bodies might be at the morgue or still haven't been recovered from either the mountainous areas or maybe in the dead sea now there are still many questions certainly about a lot around the decision of the school to changes the trip from the area where do we initially supposed to go which is in another part in the other part of this country and who decided for them to come here without getting official permission from the ministry of education it has to be said that among the school children today it is also the daughter of the director of that school now king abdullah is also taking a close attention to this according to the official news agency here he will be presiding over a meeting in which all the different sectors departments. civil defense

and police will be meeting trying to understand what happened this time to try to avoid it next time just before we hit the break one comment i want to read out for you which kind of sums up how a lot of people are feeling about president of the moment. judy thank you for your comment on facebook and she said when the time is right that's what president heard want to sing about more evidence she says what is playing out why not release everything he's got right now it sounds to me as though there's a bit of backroom dealing going on with the saudis quote if you donate a few billions maybe i'll lose the audiotape will as our guest earlier was saying we just don't know at the moment but we can see very much that president obama's using this position he has this position of strength on the world stage. his advantage over this past week your comments your questions the hashtag is age or news group now this is the newsgroup if you with us on facebook lines we've got a bonus story for you or brownstein us threats to coral reefs and then later we are

in rio ahead of sunday's presidential vote in brazil as the electoral electoral court tries to stop misinformation on social media. hello there we see some deadly flooding in parts of russia recently mostly is being in the southwest of the country where the worst of the weather has been these pictures are from around the black sea so in the sochi region you can see just how bad the flooding is there it's actually destroyed part of that bridge now this system is all part of the same system that gave us the flooding in jordan as well you can see the showers out of that and it's all part of this huge swirling mass that's also given us some wet weather and snow over parts of turkey really has turned quite wintery for some of us here particularly in the east that system

hasn't quite finished with us just yet it's working its way steady eastwood still still giving some heavy downpours i think the heaviest rains as we had three south today will be around to the north of terror on an also for the southwestern parts of iran so very heavy downpours in these two regions and then it'll sweep its way eastwards as we head through sunday giving us some rain and a bit of snow there over kazakhstan and that stretches all the way down towards us here in doha so let's move a little bit further south towards that and take a closer look at that system there is the heavy rain the we're expecting in the southwest in parts of iran then it works its way southwards it does ease a bit but still pockets of heavy rain out of that as we head through the day on sunday. if you were in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships when myth was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and hanging around the

world while the chinese are not that stupid things guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china talk to on a just. one of the really special things that working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input in contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know is that it tends to live out in the but the good because you have a lot of people that if i did own political issue we are we the people who believe to tell the real story so i'll just mend it is to believe in dave generalism we don't feel in fear of a good audience across the globe. headlines

that on to say we're dot com and what's trending is trending quite simply there is so much content. online that out zero dot com a couple of interesting stories there are three and four isn't at the. it's on the stadiums being built here and in around half of the world cup the irish thing at a quarter converted to islam interesting stories if you'd have a look at this riding around the city with dot com right now we're going back to our top story though the murder of sandy journalist jamal khashoggi and

specifically we want to talk about the role which turkey is playing with us and scott from washington d.c. as most stuff i killed was a senior fellow at the cato institute nice to have you with us today actually put to you again and i put this to one of our earlier guests some of the questions we're getting from our viewers on facebook live who keep asking about this line which president has said when the time is right i will release more information surely the time is right now the time is three weeks since he was killed it is indeed i mean i mean since the beginning of this crisis this grim story turkey has released cost and information not directly first by the president not on himself but by the unnamed turkish officials and pro-government turkish media and it seems that turkey is billing to keep the story on the international agenda and i think that's a good thing. but i do believe that turkey should reveal whatever turkey has but i

think there might be also a strategy to force the saudi authorities to come up with explanations and maybe then to show the explanations don't hold water so i think there is some calculated pace to it which is right or wrong but i think turkey is going to go after this incident then we will probably see more leaks or more stories or more statements regardless he is getting a little bit tougher isn't he i thought it was interesting listening to president. today friday as opposed to choose day tuesday he made specific references only to king solomon and saying i have faith in king solomon now it was referencing mohamed bin salman the crown prince by name making sure that people don't forget his name in this. yes i mean i think the president out on strategy could be as i read. through the lines is to respect the king turkey has no enmity against the kingdom of saudi arabia as

a country and or as want to keep turkey i think seems to have an issue with him ahmed been psalm on and that's related that is foreign policy that is avoided with his certain statements or stances and international seen themselves been disturbing to ankara and i think thinks that this whole incident probably goes up way to goes up all the way to the crown prince not the king himself that is if these aligned you can sunni clearly see in the pro-government media entergy. i think turkey strategy will be to ask ask from the king in not not explicitly by me politically to go out there this and to suggest that maybe it goes all the way up to the crown prince do you think that either president or even president trump we were just looking at some pictures of him there with mohammed bin salman or any of these they can they get anything more out of mohamed bin salman because my feeling off to saying mohammed been somewhat speak of the day was that he will hold this

line and won't want to give away anything more. yeah i mean that's obviously his line but i but i also think that much of the world is not convinced that much of in the western media is not much convinced at least we should get it then credible story who is responsible for this i mean these eighteen men who came in came from saudi arabia the fifteen men and if you associates they've they couldn't have acted alone they couldn't have act by themselves and we know there's already a broad campaign to crack down on this sense ordered by none by mohammed bin so much i mean people we have stories of you know saudi officials going to canada with sell arms of mohammed bin solomon in telling this it has to come home otherwise their relatives will be in jail so it is it is really not very easy to think that this could have happened on its own but proving it something at is something else and i think turkey is on the one hand raising up the stakes also expecting the

saudis to come up with new explanations and maybe to show that those explanations do not hold water i think that's an interesting game we've been seeing and we may see more of that in the days ahead and stuff from the cato institute good to talk to you thank you thank you for having me and just as we're talking about this change in tone from president to on these direct references to the crown prince mohammed bin someone i just wanted to show you this because we ran out of time to show you yesterday a full page ad from the washington post which of course jamal khashoggi wrote for the only image on that full page is mohammed bin salman it is another illustration of those who aren't willing to accept that he didn't know at least something about the plan and demanding answers directly from him. a moving story now from sri lanka where there has been a return to power in the last few hours the former president mahinda rajapaksa has been sworn in. this time it's prime minister and we're going to nelson and is on

the line from colombia can you explain this one to us who entered into between president and prime minister has the real power and how did mr rajapakse or end up back here. a million dollars. going to just coming to terms with the announcement that the former. prime minister generally in terms of the way the constitution is structured here in sri lanka we have an executive president a very powerful executive president that he's the commander. he has kind of pretty much overall overriding policy over government powers to. veto and things like that where the government is concerned. the prime minister is the one who is called upon to form a government and this is what has happened now we're seeing the former prime minister. who's who had been in a coalition government with the tribes with the president of the city saying

president fifteen defeated one of the rajapaksa has literally been somewhat of a levy dismissed as he signs the rajapaksa has been sworn in almost under his nose and the next step of that would be to see rajapaksa forming a new government even is very much under the presidency. but the day to day basis the former president will now be the new head of the cabinet in the government absolutely fascinating turn of events i'm sure we'll be talking more about this tomorrow fernandez on the line from cumberbatch. now brazil's two presidential candidates are wrapping up their time before the run of. the opinion polls show the leftist work candidate from trailing the rights. has been accused of making sexist racist and homophobic remarks but doesn't really seem to have affected his city of to rio we go here is to raise

a boat for us to surprise you must really be building for this one given how divisive and controversial the whole election process has been. well most definitely and there's a lot of uncertainty here in brazil about what will happen after sunday's elections when you talk to people there's a lot of those who are anguished and upset and many who are happy and they're saying that there is a new beginning for brazil starting sunday so the latest polls show that there is now a twelve point difference between both candidates wolf and i don't have lost fixpoint since the last poll that they have made him in a way to change a bit tone he strategy trying to weave barrett to some of the things he has said in the past for example thing that brazil won't go to war with venezuela which is something that he said in the past both about he's willing to work with the united nations to deal with the issue of refugees while venezuela refugees in south

america and this is in a way you know important cultural because wolf and i don't have said that brazil would leave the united nations he became president because it filled with communists so there's a lot of changes that we have seen both but are you hearing reopen i mean you know he had that he's going to work to remain quiet and he will be elections until be found on the other hand the workers' party candidate. is in the northeast of the country that he story stronghold for the workers' party and that's where he's trying to get those the boat that he needs in order to win on sunday for elections both candidates were expected to participate in a debate that was going to happen being. but it was canceled because of course when i said that he won't abandon base of the first time that something like this happens fans for their return to democracy nine hundred eighty five cards are filling that void i'm sure there will be social media you know we like to talk about that on the on the newsgroup the influence it has how crucial has the social influence been on this election. what

it has been crucial in if information has been crucial and has played an enormous role throughout this presidential campaign there's also been investigations something you would of balck a method to the family that fent a massive amount of what methodist for all people all around brazil and this have clearly in a way benefited the leading candidate. this fact checking agency is working nonstop in the days prior to the final round of brazil's presidential elections they're trying to detect false information that's being spread around the country not that of the volume of misinformation in this campaign has been unlike anything she's seen before usually elections in brazil it's a strong relation with television people usually usually vote on the candidate that has more time on the t.v. campaign and this is the first year that doesn't happen the candidate that had more
