6:02 pm
it's 76 former president, lizzy masula, the silva says he's older, wiser and ready to lead a coalition of center let parties to victory in october's presidential election. i want to tell you that i am willing to govern brazil 12 years after leaving the presidency and 12 years we learned a lot who are able to see what we did for the country. what we did not do and what we could have done, a former car factory worker lula govern brazil from 2003 to 2010 as president. he was one of the world's most popular leaders. but after leaving office, he was jailed on corruption charges and barred from running again. his political fate change last year when brazil supreme court and mulled his trial. since then he has emerged as the most formidable challenger to the incumbent. j annabelle sonata . i think that corruption is worked with in the official because
6:03 pm
a both on our we make sure that he will use ah, the are, i'm the, the corruption scandal i guess roller. but i think that that after the almost 4 years of most, i'm out and in several cases of corruption, his government, this has not, this has changed. it's not. it's not in a weapon that will fire only on one site. maggie finish voted for bull sonata, but for years on she's disappointed you won't so i'm out of silly as you will not let balsam, norah was elected promising to fight corruption to reduce public spending and to adopt business friendly economic measures. she did the opposite. she is wheeling and dealing to win support in congress, something he said he would never do. there is corruption, and the economy is and shreds. wallace trying to appeal to disappointed bill. so
6:04 pm
now to voters by choosing a former adversary and send to right politician jet ald welcoming as his vice president. he's also counting on anger at bull sonata was denial of the coven. 19 pandemic, which killed 660000 brazilians. and his anti environmental policy, political abrupt vargo, recent polls shown ruler defeating bull, sonata political analyst, sasha bananas, sheesh says rejection, more than approval will play a major role in the selection. 60 percent of resilience say they do not approve of bull sonata and would never vote to reelect him. lula fair, slightly better with 45 percent of voters rejecting his candidacy. it's still too soon to tell who will win this race. but most analysts agree that brazilians will have to choose the candidate they dislike less, instead of the one they believe represents them or will make their future better.
6:05 pm
monica not give, i'll just 0. so ball. okay, let's bring in gustavo ribeiro, who is a political analyst and the fan of the brazilian or port, an online magazine. he joins us on skype from south palo. gustavo, thanks for being on this news. our. the polls are in favor of lula rash a moment, but the election isn't until october. so how do you say the next 6 months playing ass? we're going to see a extremely nasty campaign, very aggressive, especially from variables and other who is in the outside lane and needs to recover grounds and like casual bunches, commented on monday because peace he will try to use corruption and lulu as for the convictions which were crossed against lula, and he will try to use his power, his massive presence on social media in order to try to make the waters mark here
6:06 pm
and try to re green ground, especially with the boat or sea loss in this 3 and a half years of presidency. ok, and that would you actually things in life, pitches at the moment, out of south palo for the campaigning, which is about to begin. so we'll keep an eye on that good stuff or you mentioned social media, then how do you think that will impact the campaign? it will be massively important because a lot of brazil informed themselves on social media terrain that both so natalie dominates and where the last has lost its footing and has struggled to find a language in the messaging that we resonates with people. when we, when gage voters on social media because i do for instance has a meeting in the fall. ready on telegram, which is an encrypted messaging service that is among the highest growing in brazil
6:07 pm
right now. it is highly difficult to regulate how mess messages are transmitted and forwarded in that environment. so i think it will be massively useful tool for both. so now in order to try to narrow the grab, well start is also trying to use similar programs to, to, to, to increase the, to create, feel good factors and make himself more competitive, which has worth over the past few months. he has globally but sadly narrowed the gap. and once the run off starts, which is almost 30 here at this point that the relax is going to be 2 rounds. then he will try to bath n t less sentiment to push him across the finish line. and good staff, what are some of the challenges for both scenarios? campaign there is climbing inflation at the moment. yes, the,
6:08 pm
the economy is the biggest hurdle for boston. other right now because we have unemployment that 11 percent. the place is at 11 percent in the past. 12 months and all indicator show that in april prices have continued to climb. that has the roll . and at the same time, wages in brazil are stagnant. so or even entry level agents are going down massively. so we're seeing households losing purchasing power 8 in 10 households in brazil, our own that this is unprecedented. so the president, the president, achilles heel at this moment is the economy. and even if he tries to divert attention to corruption and other issues or culture wars, which is something he has tried to do over the past few miles, actually his reelection. chances change on trying to make the economic environment better. if lula was to win,
6:09 pm
what kind of presidency our brazilians in store for i mean we have 8 years of track record lula has been nothing but the moderate. i think his own family. busy portrayed by conservative sectors as a radical socialist and a few occasions, it doesn't help himself with statements that are much more to the left than he ever was when he was president. would be very shocked and surprised if leads the government that is not centrist, doesn't that me or even the choice of his run, you make his dwell to me as a bona fide conservative stablish or establishment conservative. he has ties with religious groups, with pro business associations. so that is a signal that luly sending to markets that he will, his presence, it will be much more like the 20032010 government. he lads,
6:10 pm
rather than anything that can work or spark has said in the past, which is more kind of each of the left or i will. we really appreciate your analysis day. gustavo renee wrote a political analyst and founder of the brazilian report, appreciate your time and we're just currently seeing some live pitches out of south palo, where waiting for the former president lula to silva to appear on stage and present to the crowds. this is lula to silva, apologies there. he's launching his campaign for october's election. the left us is hoping to unsafe fall, right? president j both matter as we've been mentioning and the stage is certainly set for a remarkable come back. 4 years after being out for corruption, so we'll bring that as it comes to hand the the latest on the crime war now, and russian missile strikes if hit the southern city of odessa,

6:22 pm
popularity in the north with a detailed de strong hole in the south. now, he's also able to take advantage of the fact that more than half of registered voters in the philippines are too young to remember what his father, ministration was like. now his father ruled the country for 20 years, and nearly half of the time the country was under martial law. it was a period rife with human rights abuses and corruption, but he's been able to gloss over that in a mis information campaign effect. check in groups says marcos junior has benefited the most from a misinformation. in contrast, his closest rival, lenny robledo, now she's been the biggest victim of a campaign of this information. but if you speak to his voters, they'll say that it is simple message of unity that resonates with. i'm a candidate hoping to bait my cost is vice president. lenny we're bred arm. her rally is being held at a symbolic location. it's where

6:24 pm
to 20. 19 during the mid term elections. more than half of the total, $6.00 to $7000000.00 voters or young filipino. so despite her trailing in local service over the last few months, there remains to be a strong sense of hope. here they say, because of this unique electoral landscape brought about by her campaign message, radical log no weather, this will definitely turn into votes. that would be enough to beat bobo market junior. that remains to be seen, but clearly now this has become more than just a regular campaign. as menu observers, both here and abroad, of said, regret this campaign really has become a people's movement. hong kong, next late, it will be confirmed on sunday. john lee is assured victory since he is the only candidate and will be elected by a committee loyal to begging communist party adrian brown reports on the man hoping to revive the fortunes of anxious financial home. john lease career has been rooted

6:33 pm
a major issue in the run up to the election. people are hungry again after years that we, we had get rid of poverty and hunger in brazil. so if you look at the real issues of the economy of society, that platform certainly helps. the problem is that there's a lot of miracle thing going on. who has a very high rejection rate was when i was going, thing was, and i had being contained for the past 4 years that he never stopped containing against little i guess the perceived threats that they claimed there are in society . so he's going to be a replay of 2018, but much, much higher degree. not right now. he is running to different contains he's, he's running one campaign against lula and gearing towards the the election. and he's getting support from, from congressman trying to, to show his base. he change his political part as a lot of jock in between politicians at representatives in different parties right
6:34 pm
now. so he's trying to get hold of his campaign. but on the other hand, was on that is also runny as mere conveying about brazilian democracy, about our institutions is being taking jobs at the supreme court. and the electro committee claiming that the election system is rig that the counting is rig that and threatened in the military, the general of the survey threatening to intervene the electoral systems re elected president manuel macross has promised to unify france after a divisive election campaign. speaking after being sworn in for his 2nd 5 years, him a chrome says france is dealing with unprecedented crises, including a war in europe. the pandemic and climate change. he says his 2nd term will not be a repeat of his purpose. ah see. so dicky, disney say, present is the french people who choose their representatives and president are giving me this mandate to day. the french people have not extended my turn that

6:36 pm
because we have the far right with marine le pen who was his challenger in the 2nd round. but we now have a united left block. behind mr. middle show came 3rd in the presidential election and was the leader of the radical left. so he will have to face 2 challenges from both right and left. if he wants to get a majority in parliament, which is the key for stability and for governing in this country. so the next 2 months are still going to be very much focused on domestic politics with those parliamentary elections at the same time with the european presidency that frost still has for another 2 months. so it's it going to be a busy 2 months for president mccomb. in northern ireland, the leader of the democratic unionist party has conceded, she's fine is set to come out on top and thursdays historic elections. it's regional late. it says it's a win that will ushering

6:38 pm
the democratic unionists threatening to boycott the store mont, assembly because of post briggs, it border arrangements that they say undermine the very union they exist to defend . the non protocol is the key to for us at that time. and we need to get resolution abroad because by and within a country between great britain nolan items we need to move on to via and get rid of and ensure that the know who to call a see is dealt with for all. which raises the possibility of a full blown political crisis after this election paralysis deadlock, arising out of the 2 parties, power sharing system under the good friday peace agreement. and not for the 1st time. that why growing numbers of voters have chosen a 3rd way among the biggest winners and this election, the cross community center ground alliance party. northern ireland isn't just
6:39 pm
a place where it's national and union of northern. i'm the place that is diverse. on this boat for alliance is showing that there are more people who are satisfied with being a better both and also being north ash, it's further evidence of potentially seismic shift in the political landscape. i think would you put it down to is 1st of all post bracket, tiredness actually with what has happened since it's become very green and orange. i think you put into a new younger actress who no longer interested in these things. i think you put it down to the fact that for a number of years we've hardly had any government. and there's a real wish for a large part of this population to get on with actually getting stuff addressed, which isn't just constitutional. all of which sets up a fertile conversation about the future in northern ireland, one far less tethered to the secretarial constraints of the past. joe, the whole al jazeera belfast, rescuers in cuba capital have been digging through rebels searching for bodies
