election is next year. one man who may shed some light on what the future might hold is brazil's former precedent for man when we get got it. also at 19 kind of also has experience much of brazil's modern history, the ups and downs for a man going to get got it. also talks was iraq. ah, preston, phone number i got to go from thanks so much for talking to xerox. refill is the middle of an enormous crisis. over 500000 people have died because of covert 19 preference. you don't want to? nano has ignored scientists who were talking about the risks of coven 19 in the country. what do you think of the situation that's happening right now in brazil? well, you know, we adjusting to the pandemic here. but the fact that there are also brazilians

lying, and some of them i have been affected by the virus. so i think is dedicated to asian is a differential and do what occurs in other countries part of the world. but then how i see you have to be, have to, to my man things. precaution, that's my case. to be at home. why the contact with other people is appliances by reading newspapers and by listening. tv is easy to understand how dramatic is efficient and reserve. but in brazil, the president, i said before, ignored the warning he was against wearing faith masks against lockdown. do you think the president should be impeached or you know, the president has his behavior. it to be uncomfortable. he say something that are not appropriate to my, for my mind purpose for a present, but then how i think that the population has to be formed. and the media in brazil has a crucial phenomena, a crucial phenomena,

day and nights. i allow alerting people about clinic or don't use moscow shock looking with other dolls your mouth. and i can see people using masks they are using less. so the decline of the eric is due to the effort by brazilian people itself, not by government, but the president is currently being investigated in congress because of mishandling the pandemic. it's show that the president it has i, how can i put was the prepare to have to face such a situation? is ne, i, it seems to me that he's not well suited in the, in the house in the chair of president. is this trying to do what's, what's visible in this situation, but you are concerned about the situation in the country and you've met a former president lula silver in an attempt to, to unite in the,

in the coming elections against president board tonight. or is this the case? could you tell us a little bit about what this alliance is all about? i don't know if this is our case or the case of the present, of cause. the discussion in congress is always kind of trying to of the man as the president attract to the present, present has the to deal with the congress and, and what now, what is important to my mind is to take into account the public opinion to stress. so to areas with those who are suffering from the current virus, this is more important than the political issues. that's not the normal vision of someone's in power. they are much more concerned with the small political struggle . then with the big national struggle, the thing you did is a big mistake to my my, i don't want to be hyper critic in that in that sense. but then how i have, well, why that, that to dissertation it seems to me that the lack of the sense of

a pass and so desire doing that it, did it, did the position of this momentum is necessary for the country? do you think the president is a threat to brazil? democracy? well, i hope and i think, but i hope to the democracy. brazil is well planted. the router, the main residence society is not. it's the independent funded behavior. the presence of the behavior of the boxes. you see the population has a proven freedom for j important. i remember the time when we have time regimes in brazil, in my own case, i was afraid i had fear of fearing every night when some person came tossed up to my house housing which i leave that at the time. i was a little bit so you know,

i was that group, we police, that's not the case. the misery we have not did this. it seemed to sense or fear. we are not feeling we are treating that. that is something lacking the direction, but not we are not in personal terms which fear, i hope that this will be enough to produce in the future a better situation. let's say to keep the easters walking. the edge a still are walking to one very important. see, the pres is free in brazil we, i'm speaking here to you without any appeal compassion. the tv is free and every one knows what's happening. because if the presence say something immediately you're the public opinion will be very critic. as far as the public opinion, keep some resistance. if this is good for the future, i mean democracy, democracy, it will be in continuity. i hope. and i do my best to try to keep

a democracy in continuous chambers or given the current situation in the country. when you talk, when you think about politics, i mean, would you support the former president le, to the presidency or you think it's necessary to find a 3rd option that will help solve the pool or a station that exists in brazil today? that's to say to you, very frankly what is happening now in brazil is again attempt to transform lula into kind of the demo. and, you know, say all the, the best thing because it was represented by messed up by u i. c, i prefer to have a candidates for my party, which is a pass to be or another more. how can it was oriented toward democracy then lula would be. but lou is not attractive democracy or prove that he's not a competent. so he's not that tragedy or the country. he's causes

a candidate. i met him some time ago after some years, not the months of having no dialogue seen the pencil has very good did. but the more recently was more difficult because it's very peculiar. and lou raise is a man of power. i decided no more, no more be a police electro back muscles. lulu is a man who has the capacity to continue, not the cap as has the desire to continue in active it political activity in he's. well, there's a character is another itself, something that depends depends. so that's my view paul. so that he's the best candidate to defeat both an arrow in next year's election that would lead to fall or thing. would you say to that boss or not? please like to say that clearly i think that someone who has been elected will have to respect because he has had votes. well, i think that wilson,

i have more capital couple to keep their votes. his was not capable, probably he is a it will be a loser if he competes in the case they demand candidate against viruses. i'm our now is lula. but if you look, the data is not clear yet who will be the candidate and who has the capacity to really to touch this defeat in the heart of the population. i hope someone will be capable to talk to that you have and the interest of the president of a population in which could avoid me at least wherever just the magic stress between bushel an hour and lula. which is radical shies to say, i would prefer to have more marginal grad to kind of candidate both. so we have to respect democracy. some of them, lola has more the sense that the most important missy. it seems to me. but then how

to put more marco size, but i think this is really for his is that he's the situation to by the 3rd time become present. i was 2 times, i know how difficult it is the 2nd time was, which was also for the why is to try to, to be again candidate the repetition. brazil is a new country, and that is impossible not to see the loss of, of the shot youngers and why not to put all effort in promoting a young candidate for the present corruption. it is a big problem in brazil and in latin america. we've seen lots of irregularities committing in fighting corruption. we're seeing that the judiciary in many cases is used as a political to what do you think needs to change in order to solve this politics.

in brazil, it says a risk of business, risk and business and ever more prudent in using the distance. it's kind of of award to, to, to blame that. wow. mr. x is correct because it says everything is more complicated than that. and in some case, the problem is when corruption is organized the bye, bye, bye bye government. well, the i some elements in the governor, current, current government in which it's possible to see there are some, not the vision, but some assistance of reality is i think is the present has to, to, to, i think i'm saying is, is now now is easy. but the bread has to to rip, to rhetoric to say no, i'm again again say repeat again and again. because that's the sense of the common person named rizzo. as it says that the political men,

they have power and trying to use the power to extract more. busy profit for themselves, not to what extent it is true, but that's the mere fact that this is sentiment is enough to motivate the president and those via but also the bread to, to rec, against that, this is missing numbers are the sentiment that the government is acting directly against corruption, not the fact that these vote with in but the sentiment of the lack of a more. busy active, you know, reaction against corruption when you were president, you spoke about re founding, brazil. but in the past year the situation is so dire for many people, you know, poverty rates on the rise unemployment. it seems that in many cases, brazil has gone back 20 or 30 years. what do you think needs to happen to help the come to recover from what is happening now?

now what is really war is us in brazil, as in different countries world, is the current of iris. this is a while, but isn't it necessary? and then well, and then this group of sure did take into account the fact that they have no income because the walk is not abundant. on the contrary, the date of the hour repeating every every day, practically that producing wrappers you more or less less your employee the prime. it's so this will be a difficult, difficult one for violation. and also the ever one we will look off the present. what is the direction we have hope or not? the said that you have no in a bad situation in terms of inc and in terms of job as we thought, the sense that this is possible to be you know, in the future better well is

a complicated situation. this is, i think. busy more word with this kind of seeing that day by the situation rizza. do you think that at least on the economic front, the government of was not always doing the right thing? no, i don't say that. it depends on what you have in your, my medicaid wazoo. the president, it can be forces in such as in a society are strong enough to go ahead. we have in to say we have agriculture. we're exporting a day by day is occupied by those who have interest in you make their jobs and make it. and you have success measuring suckers by profiting both for ability. well, i think this is okay, this is going to be like that the, the moment is bad, where it cannot mclean in bad shape. but i don't seem to the people is to blending the government because of that, that's not the main main question. i think that they had the origin of liberal is

in a rooted in visiting society. so they believe that they each one, each response for what happens with them. so it's government, but the government has a place to also end it. those who are out of the benefits of a kinetic society. look after, after the government not looking in the positive way or looking at the governor's negative ways, because what, what i see occurring nowadays, does some subsidies done by government even now even today, they're discussing the continuity of this subsidies. well there's, there's a sorry, but not the horizon to open up the eyes of the people to say, well, this will be momentum and then we'll have jobs. so that's required. and i think also in terms of the economy,

i would say maybe the government isn't too much confident. it says that the democracy capable by themselves to solve the situation. i have are more dollars about that. i think that taking that on the uniqueness of the brazilian society, well, if the government is not capable to, oh, to behave as i lived to help people be difficult to recover. do you think that in countries like brazil and many other countries around the world, is it possible to implement long term plans of growth to help the people when you have immediate need to resolve every day need like poverty? among other things, i mean, how do you find balances to that you tried to do that while you were precedence? you know, there is a hope in busy, busy in a culture model and putting political cultural identity, but the national quarter, in the sense that well in the future will be imbedded,

shape better shape. this is this sense. this is not necessarily true. we are traverse in our bed moments in the world, not just in brazil in the budget, but in the world. so i think that may be different robin has detected it into cancers. iteration is off. i don't want to give my my own example because it's is difficult for me to, to speaking terms of the best, but then health. i try this to be as frank as possible in front of difficult situations. the situation now is difficult, not because of the presence only of mainly, but because of the destructor over of the economy international economy in our days and also because of the fact that it, brazil, brazil is, is being, is performing quite well in the culture, but not so well in the manufacturers and now the badge was in the press the

manufacturers. so if you look, what i leave here is some place in which it's supposed to see people without job when i walk in the same applies with more intensity. so the number of people without jobs as seen, this is a, be a big preoccupation. not enough to transform his sentiment that brazil has done the best. no, no, we believe that there was a point in t v to those who have the the good to believe that brazil the future would be better. this is a believe, but the reality is in contradiction with what do we want to desire? i'll wish to see. so i think the president has to be a kind of breach linking. it was not the name was one aside to honor the other size but to be kind of thinking otherwise would be no more credible . and i think that's for got those empower, what political people,

the important characteristic is to be capable to, to realize what the set is there to be consistent. and in terms of pay debility much more than another area where we are losing curriculum video to embed shape. i'm not saying that the president is losing credibility, maybe. but if he lose credibility in a while, this will be difficult for him. and also want to what people, both poor we favor in favor. so one capable to express the sentiment and interests of people. i said before, i'm repeating, but i think this is crucial important, scott: life for your for your just so why do you think you still are what my question is, why do you think so many countries?

i mean, we saw what happened in the united states in your bill and other countries in the world where you see populism, this polarization that takes over society. why is this something that we're c carting to see often now that in the past, or maybe it happened in the past, but we were not so much aware of it. i mean, what is your explanation to what is happening in the world right now? you know, there are times in each year the structure of productive sort of society changed very quickly. this is a moment in which it is present productive, such as changing very quickly. and the capacity of people to deal with the new are at us. i mean technological instruments to produce it's not comparable to has been before before we had less form in training, but you have less also expect ice dictation in terms of the, of those who are you receiving

a job. so this is the balance between the so very quick, hey, jess, formation in technology and the lack of good people prepare repeats again. and again, the same situation. i mean those which are excluded. so this is a bed. a bed says kid derives from the kind of production we are we have. and if you add to these i guy dollars, you in the sense that what is important to look for those who are capable to become victorious as she was because they, that they're not capable, not because they don't what, but because they don't have these remains to perform so i think we are leaving a moment or a very difficult world, not the 1st one from time to time. some similarities can be can, can occur. but then how? looking after our lives all day by day life, what is really oh always you figure to get to took my case if i

said to them so. so i was the sellers in terms of rid cable to do a resistor. the, now i can write, i have some formation training, but when i way i start to be profess, inverse of so far, when i was 20, as those, this is the more repeatable competition and now is very, very consistent, much for the in the past. so this is noble, the people what's more bit wiggly and receive less. this is the uneasiness of our situation. there were none. none of them are 0 in several parts of the was, is like that. even america. do you think the world politics, the world's economy is going to work different? want to spend democrats over? do you think that something is going to change is difficult to change to do the economy. but there was a call result by itself responsible for the situation. that's why i think it's

already there. so to look after the, how is it, how policies are implemented? because again, the woman being has a capacitor change and to, to put some resource out there in the ends of those who need to have to receive some inputs. i think the to depend on ideology, this as it's as a how a division you have to face the situation, sir. and any part you cannot be only something which is automatic. it depends on to believe in. and that's why when i refer to the situation, i said, well, it is who needs to have someone who symbolize the witches of people. i see this is i'm so showers. i know that structure is very important, but not the, it's not enough to look after sectors business. it also took up what you believe in

how do you are playing your job or your, your location is it depends on human capacities, but they are you on the capacitors? so even being in the situation, not just a sharp despair. i have, i was a, i remember in the past churches it was when much more difficult during the war was terrible. you in england, not to speak about you, which was really terrible. and it's better for you is what was important. resiliency confessed to believe it's possible to do better. well, i think that if you know what they say resume is this not just a resilience about hope. so, believe that it's supposed to move or some objective and, and to share your desires with people. that tonight where you are seeing them. right. mister president, thank you for talking to. i thank you very much. was a pleasure i

when freedom of the press is under threat. you know, you just because i thought genuinely about your thoughts toward the bacon government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here. some of access points shift the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little prefect. the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered the listening post, just where total technology can help tackle the spread of coven 19. but our tech solutions, the best solutions we're starting, something that seems like it's in public health, quickly becomes about measuring people what data is being collected. whereas it being stored highly re, looks at the limits of the potential of other creative ways to deal with the issues

we face target when tech to go viral. episode 3 of all hail the lockdown and al jazeera. i care about helping us engages with the rest of the world. we're really interested in taking you into a play. you might not visit otherwise and feel that you were there. the. ah
