it's pointed to all these militias that now control the streets in agreement with your interior ministry that doesn't worry you you want to be a liberal democracy join the e.u. and you have these militias basically attacking l g b t protests attacking gatherings of roma supporters. i am. you know the one the government that is speaking out with great concern and. and less necessity to react by law enforcement whenever such cases a happening and i think it would be wrong to just close the eyes if something of that type is happening but again you have to understand that quite a few cases that are being portrayed or being reported initially as some intolerant cases of attacks then it turns out later on that it turns out that quite a few of them do have the russian russian. trace in it very easy to show russia when human rights watch talks about brutal attacks on roma people people rights activists when i'm the she says the same thing when freedom house or the

senate is not all russian conspiracy no but partially it is that's one thing and the other yes yes there are there are there are cases where russia is working unfortunately very actively also inside ukraine that's one thing and another thing is that whenever these cases are happening we are reacting fiercely against them and the law enforcement is taking care of that but i know your marriage education about that and where you know i would also want to see more. professional approach back home but i think when you are rebuilding the whole institution sometimes it takes time to rebuild them and it takes time for them to to react properly so yes we do have separate cases and i was very concerned for example with what has happened with roma people definitely you know i'm one of those that is speaking out at the governmental level at the national level in order to ensure that this is not happening anymore next year you're going to have

presidential elections in ukraine in march twenty nine thousand is president poroshenko going to run again in the election do you think he should run again he's been dogged with all sorts of allegations about corruption etc. i think that president carter center has done incredible job of uniting the nation and leading its against their aggression and also working very closely with all the international allies and i think that he should run because right now we do have you know quite a ground for populism in ukraine and the other forces that are raising their hands are not as genuine as they are trying to portray themselves unfortunately vice prime minister is inside so we'll have to leave it there thank you for joining me on up front thank you. on october twenty eighth brazilians will head to the polls with far right can the ball sonora expected to win the presidency he's an ex army captain who makes trump and

do turn to look like moderates he's known for praising torture telling a female congresswoman she was too ugly for him to rape her and saying he'd rather his son die than come out as gay so what's behind the sudden rise of an inflammatory figure like paul sonora who threatens violence against his opponent and the yearns for military dictatorship and is the world's fourth largest democracy under threat if you winds joining me to discuss this are david miranda a city councilman from rio de janiero from the socialism and liberty party who run for a congressional seat earlier this month and balika a professor of international relations at the catholic university of rio we also did reach out to several boston or supporters who all declined our invitation david moniker thank you both for joining me up front monocle why a brazilians voting in such huge numbers for a man who suggested brazil should return to a military regime has threatened his opponents what has happened to millions of brazilians the world is wondering i think that there are processes that are peculiar to brazil and some of this processes are more international and there is

a huge feeling of exclusivity exclusion from social and economic life but also exclusion from political life and people are reacting with indignation and they found. this candidate channel chewed express their indignation because he is so different from all the other political parties and particular political leaders that we have had so it is indeed have very sad that no other political party or political leader was able to channel just feeling of indignation but we are waiting for the results and there is a huge amount of a captive audience of a society in reaction to the terrible things that he has been saying and defending and on the terrible things he's been saying monica and the international media of called him brazil's trump but in many ways he's far more extreme than donald trump

is and yes i think that it's quite different actually it's it's related but it's quite different the way he talks about violence as a solution for internal problems is quite different from donald trump there are similarities in terms of that kind of capitalism up for from the right but in fact it is quite different and more extreme i totally agree with you david what do you make of the comparisons between both tomorrow and trump yeah i think. right i think he's walked close to do for the president. to detain or ship we can say the way he expressed so much hate speech has already have a riyadh since he wants the first turn. bursts into the streets so he's just used

people's fear and. he can be deported who can break the system they desperately need to be buried and yeah he's nothing like your party your party you know. to the both sonora serves the very left wing socialism of liberty party won just five seats in the lower house it's one of the reasons you didn't get elected to parliament yourself the center left workers' party the p.t. despite governing brazil for fourteen years trailed both sora by seventeen percent in the first round of the election so isn't a lot of his success to do with the family is of the brazilian left yes we have a untied p.t. move mandir is growing since the two thousand and thirteen. grew so much. it's in a prison now for more than a breeze and he try to win this election and that was a mistake to be t. two so there was a split between the lofton like a lot of now and the second round we are all united together nevertheless just have

to say beattie has made a lot of mistakes along the years so the part of the criticize bt for i think other candidates would be able to compete. but both are not like we will see and am i right in saying monica he doesn't have corruption allegations against him which helps him in a country where a lot of politicians are corrupt i think i think that ad that the brazilian political system is actually at very much prone to corruption this is a huge problem and it came out during the workers' party tenure because they actually allowed it to come out and they allowed it to be investigated so they are of course to blame for their involvement and the people that were involved in corruption but it is not true that other parties and also not to and the people

close to him were not involved in corruption these investigations have been very much focused on she and the other party that's true been and let it all happen yet been in government no that's true just to give him a chance like would trump. let me ask you this monica how worried should we be the rest of the world and brazilians themselves that brazil the world's fourth largest democracy could head back into an era of military rule both sonora has praised the former military dictator he's praised the colonels who tortured people he has asked for and he's also for a celebration of the military dictator he wanted to i think you want to mark the fiftieth anniversary of brazil's military dictatorship a few years ago how worried should we be that military rule is is on the horizon again in brazil well that depends on what you ask how military rule i don't think there's going to be a clue i think that the military are going to be absolutely essential government if also not who is elected i think they see this process as you know

their ability to acquire control over government and state david let me ask you this david can brazilian democracy survive both in our presidency in your view. we have we're talking about a young democracy but we are talking about. country and there is a lot of people fighting for but i want to just go back to like the part of the corruption. it is true do we have a. day he use money for diesel action to use is spread fake news true companies now do we are not allowed to use the company names for money for anything here and number zero so he's naam like good guy there is not corrupt he is corrupt he just gnostic is corrupt in the eyes of the people because of like how he's trying to present himself he is so but going back to the democracy i

think we're going to have a resistance there is going to be a resistance everywhere like the artist is already journalists are speaking. looking for a job unlike people online because the resistance in the us which does represent the majority of americans in brazil it looks like the majority of brazilians according to the polls according to what we're looking for the second round do support both sonora suddenly if. they do. it it's for forty percent of the brazilian population does not support him and would not vote for for him in any ist instance so let's leave there was room that still leaves him with a majority of monica let me put this to you do you think brazilian democracy can survive a both in our presidency i think. electro prosess can survive i think there are many of the rights that the one thousand nine hundred eight

constitution created are in danger but you know rights we loss rates and then we are right and we get back to them last question for you both. david you're a high profile gay leftist monica you're a female academic do both of you worry about your personal safety or security in a brazil led by both sonora and i think they're. worried about our security in terms of the level of violence that is already happening in the streets because he's asking people to be file and because the motto is violent but for sure are people that are on the left that are gay and that our indigenous indigenous population we will suffer enormously for sure the people that live in the poor parents of the country the people that suffer from racist discrimination

all these people need that law ought to be protected david are you worried. yeah yeah and i'm very worried. shot four times i had a kilo she was elected official and there is no answer for her killing this year also not just say chu weeks ago day he once every police hold kills when they're using the uniform not be persecuted so he's giving a white card to every police to kill in this city and they going to hunt down the ready hunting down. people in the favelas but people slaughter we repeat what we're going to be in the front line we had the ones we're going to be got shot in for us obviously we're fraid obviously but fight for democracy is the only way we'll keep forward even if he is elected you will be a resistance and the country is going to pass for

a hard hard time but i think the country will have you new we will prevail remember we have such a young democracy we have thirty years old of democracy so it's hard for people to remember what democracy is when this is such a small thing and this generation don't even know what culture to give value to it david monaco would have to leave it there thank you both for joining me on that front. that's our show from moving back next to. south sudan is one of the last places on earth to harbor guinea worm disease a gruesome affliction that has affected millions of centuries to stand out in the world as the only country with almost all the cases from the uk it is a huge response when it has no vaccine and no to that this disease be on the verge

journalist. jubilation and anger in brazil off the far right candidate joe you're both so narrow. it's a bitter election class. families to topless but the job will be it's just been testing its readiness in this latest round of data exercises. now there are no signs of survivors after an indonesian passenger plane with one hundred eighty nine people on board plunged into the ocean not far off from jakarta it dropped from radar screens following a request from the pilot to turn back due to an unknown problem florence lowy reports this is the flight path for lyon edge eighty six one zero reconstructed by

flight radar twenty four using satellite data it left jakarta around six twenty in the morning with one hundred eighty nine passengers and crew on board and was due to arrive in the island of bangka an hour later that the pilot asked to turn back then lost contact only thirteen minutes into the flight rescue divers have recovered life jackets and some personal belongings including mobile phones and bags workers from perth emina the state owned oil company also found what's believed to be deadly from the plane near one of its offshore refining facilities. the cause of the crash is still not known and a top priority will be finding the black box. where we will send in divers to find the position of the black box hopefully we can get the black box under the flight wreckage the plane was a boeing seven three seven x. eight a new model introduced into service only last year it was delivered to lyon in august

and had completed eight hundred flight hours there are a few areas where. this marks seventy seven was going to maintaining flight level and so on but considering boeing's track record and this new generation of we have got it don't look like any mechanical failure or something around those lines indonesia relies heavily on air transport to connect all its islands but it's aviation safety record is patchy in two thousand and fourteen and air asia crash killed more than one hundred sixty people ryanair is one of indonesia's youngest and largest airlines it was removed from the european union's safety blacklist in june two thousand and sixteen. where flight j.t. six one zero was due to arrive on monday morning distraught relatives and friends wait desperately for news florence louis al-jazeera the sea of lioness has issued a statement about the crash she says the plane was reported good to fly by our

engineering team that's responsible for checking planes the plane flew from them to jakarta last night there was a report of a technical problem last night in bali but we addressed it according to manufacture a guidance the plane was ok to flying to jakarta i cannot be more specific about the problem i believe the pilot is professional very saddened by this incident because the passengers are our family. well wayne hay joins us now live from the airport in jakarta and talking about the family of passengers they must be very nervous at this point any word to let them know what happened to their loved ones. well certainly sent me some harrowing scene throughout the day here at. airports with many relatives of those who were on board coming and going from the terminal building behind me to receive regular updates from the government and also from

lyon as well we just had another updates a media conference with several spokespeople including the transportation minister not a lot in the way of new details what he did have to say though is that they have found that there was no human error at this scene so in other words there was no human error from the control tower they have been able to at least eliminate that but as far as what went wrong on that. flight soon after it took off from jakarta well it seems that we have no clearer there is some discrepancy about the timing though the transportation minister saying that the request from the pilot to make a turn around to come back to jakarta to land obviously because there was some problem on board came two to three minutes into the flight so two to three minutes after it took off now we were originally led to believe that that request came some ten minutes later the transportation minister saying that two to three minutes into

the flight they made the request the request was granted and then some ten minutes later the plane has disappeared from radar disappeared from contact with the ground here in jakarta but still he was unable to say what went wrong was there any contact in that ten minute period and he wasn't even even able to confirm whether the plane was able to successfully turn around it seems that after that request two to three minutes into the flight to turn around that was it according to what we are being told at the moments. have they recovered or even located the black box at this point wayne. no they haven't sammy the search of course goes on and will probably well into the night what they have managed to recover is some debris parts of the plane personal items as well presumably from people who were on board and some reports now coming through that they have recovered bodies or at least body parts from that wreckage so the pieces

of debris and whatever else they are finding they're being taken back to shore where they will of course go through a formal identification to confirm of course that they're coming from this particular flight there are thirty divers on that at that site continuing the search and they still have not found the main body of the plane the good news is that the conditions in the area are still reported to be very good the conditions when the plane took off from jakarta early on monday morning were very good so they think that they can rule out weather is being a factor in this but the good news on that side of it is that the conditions for the search of good the seas are very calm and as i say that search will continue with some thirty divers at that site and the java sea. thanks for that.

saudi arabia's top prosecutor is in turkey where he is meeting investigators looking into the killing of saudi journalists. so the scene here at the airport in istanbul is expected to provide testimonies from eighteen suspects they are being held in saudi arabia turkey has requested they be extradited saudi authorities say they'll be tried in the kingdom. zaina holder is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul way home she was killed so they've got the top saudi prosecutor in town does that mean. now getting the full cooperation they've been asking for. well that is what turkey wants they want saudi arabia to be more cooperative there has been a lot of delays in this investigation especially when they need to get permission from saudi authorities to search and the latest example really is that turkish investigators wanted to search the well in the garden of the saudi arabian consul

general's residence and that has not happened now will that happen now that the saudi prosecutor is in town or will the saudi prosecutor actually come to the consulate behind me and see for himself the scene of the crime we understand is that the top saudi prosecutor is now at the courthouse in istanbul meeting the man who is leading this investigation is stumbles chief prosecutor they're going to share evidence but the real question is how much evidence is going to be shared turkey we know is holding its cards tight it is releasing evidence releasing information just enough to put saudi arabia in the corner to actually admit after three weeks that. she died inside that consulate what turkey wants her answers to a number of questions where is she is body or his body parts who is the local collaborator that the saudi narrative mentioned that they hired this local collaborator after she was accidentally killed to dispose of the body and who

ordered the killing these are questions the turks so want answered whether or not the testimonies of these eighteen saudi men who are detained in saudi arabia will answer them and whether or not this saudi prosecutor will answer them well we have to wait and see. we'll leave it there thanks so much zain the whole book. former bangladeshi prime minister and opposition leader has been sentenced to seven years in jail for corruption the seventy two year old was convicted of misappropriating more than three hundred thousand dollars from a charity fabry she was given a five year prison term on another charge the theft of money from an orphanage says all the charges are aimed at keeping the rounds of politics with elections due in december and via chandru joins us now live from the capital so i guess this means she's out of the running for december's elections first of all right. well it's very significant this is the second conviction in dozens of cases still

facing what it meant so essentially under the constitution anybody convicted of two years in moral crime. run for election but that also depends on the election commission they have the final say so but it looks pretty much challenging for the college that they have to run for election or for running for campaign only a few months away party looks that are very symbolically both the parties and bangladesh pretty much run by dynastic politics and their presence is very symbolic for the general population. even if she files for a pale process usually delays this process and this end up after the election even if she gets bail so the chances are for getting bail from the higher growth is also very limited at least before the election. position party bangladesh nationalist party in a very challenging position even though the gear up for the election but they haven't announced whether they will run for the election however that came up with

their announcement today that they will have a nationwide protest tomorrow all across the country in protest for this conviction you know how is the opposition officially reacting so far i mean. well the opposition cases are very much politically motivated they went on to say that even the chief justice the last chief justice. who was forced out of the cold and he's now in exile in america who recently wrote a book highly critical of the government interference in the judicial system that point that out that this is obviously a very politically motivated case although that one hundred twenty party alliance with a very prominent jury and a constitutional lawyer now their get out for the election but they haven't announced they keep saying they need an interim government one of the key demand and i could demand is that opposition leader khaled has to be out of the prison.
