5:02 am
a celebration at the white house on tuesday. as u. s. president joe biden signed into law, the inflation reduction act is not just about today. it's about to mar, it's about delivering progress and prosperity to american families. the law cuts medicine costs were seniors and extends health care subsidies. there's also a new 15 percent corporate income tax, the biggest expense fighting climate change. $385000000000.00 and new funding and tax credits to cut carbon emissions and develop clean energy industries. to expand the use of solar panels and heat pumps. and to make electric vehicles, a common sight, electric vehicle permissions in the new val are, are phasing based on income. and so they are really designed to make electric vehicles more affordable for people who might not otherwise be able to buy them west virginia, senator joe mansion had held up passage of the law until it included funding for
5:03 am
the oil and gas industry. he said he would do it again, and i think this is a great american bill. now someone benefits from him. that's why i can't figure out why my republican friends are doubling down against them when they're so much good for so many people. it's when i help so many doesn't make any sense to me at all. and the bill as amended is past republicans who didn't vote for the bill, criticised it on social media. quote, democrats robbed americans last year by spending our economy into record inflation . this year, their solution is to do it a 2nd time. on back of the white house, joe biden delivered some of his own partisan criticism. every single republican congress voted against loren prescription drug presence against laurie healthcare cause against the for taxes. every single republican, every single law voted against taquila climate crisis against lauren. our energy cause against grading good paying job recognition. partisanship isn't over even
5:04 am
though the white house says this is a day for all americans. rosalyn jordan elder, 0 washington, a key republican voice investigating last year's attack on the u. s. capital is cheney is currently fighting for political life. vases in her stays, if wyoming on deciding who will run in the mid term elections later this year. holes have chinese training her opponent harriet hagaman by double digits. i went back by former president donald trump. chinese one favor with democrats for her participation in a congressional committee investigating the attack on capitol hill in 2021. that's gay to correspond, rob reynolds, whose life for us in jackson, wyoming, said the results of that vote, i believe, expected quite soon. is cheney bracing herself for loss. she must see the reality facing her seeing those polls and even
5:05 am
talking to wyoming residents. let's not forget that this was a state that went for donald trump by 70 percent over joe biden, back in 2020. and it is. it is a conservative and heavily republican state. some of their 1st results are trickling in, and frankly, they don't look good for, for liz cheney at all, harried hagaman. her opponent is ahead on a wide margin in one of the largest counties in the state. these are mostly absentee and male in balance, but still it's a precursor of things to come. so not looking good for cheney. nevertheless, this could be a beginning, rather than an end for her. the next chapter of her political career. people here in wyoming and in washington, d. c, widely expect that she will consider and carry out
5:06 am
a run for presidency in 2024, running as on the strength of her reputation, that she is gain on the january 6th committee as a defender of democracy. as a antagonist and nemesis of president, the former president trump, it is false woods and then schemes to remain in office after he lost the election. that would certainly make for some interesting debates. i think if she did in fact seek republican nomination and were head to head with donald trump if he is in a position at the, at that point to seek the republican nomination. and i would also point out that just because she may lose and is likely to lose the nomination tonight here in wyoming, it doesn't mean the list. genie is bumped off the committee, she will remain the vice chair of the of the january 6th committee,
5:07 am
remain the thorn in uh, president trump x president. trump's side. she announced back in july, the hearings would likely resume in september, and she said that more witnesses are coming forward, and more evidence is poor and yet. okay. can, thanks to that rub reynolds there for us in jackson, wyoming. i've been speaking to jason, nicholas sees a democratic strategists in the lecture at the university of maryland. he says, of cheney loses, she's like t to remain a vocal critic of trump. miracles do happen in politics, but it seems like she is pretty much going to lose, but i think she's still going to be an important figure moving forward. particularly donald trump is the republican nominee if they continue to support him and he actually does declare to run for president. i think she's going to be an important voice and a thorn in his side for conservative values and particularly for that sliver of american voters who are pliable,
5:08 am
who are in the middle and usually have conservative values, but are uncomfortable with trumps criminality. and with his behavior, liz cheney is someone who voted with donald trump 93 percent of the time she support tax cuts for the wealthy. she voted against impeaching donald trump in the 1st impeachment where he started ukrainian leaders. she votes for conservative judges. she called democrats a party of infanticide. so she has no liberal and she is no democratic hero. but one of the things that she does stand for is for our democratic principles overall . when i think that, you know, with the way that the republican party is going now, she sounds like she's a reasonable voice and i don't know that she has a future now on the national stage. but i think she has a future has a voice, a voice of reason of voice, where we can actually come together on some issues and some things that we believe

5:16 am
sent a reply late on monday to what you has called its final submission around previously called on the us to show flexibility to resolve issues. now as the 1st official day of campaigning ahead of brazil's presidential election, which is due in october resident jr bolstered, are held his 1st campaign event for reelection in the city where he was stabbed in 2018. in my opinion, polls show his left, his rival former president louise ignacio lulu de silva has a 12 point lead. he's been campaigning outside an auto manufacturing plant in the state of south palo, where he rose to prominence as a union leader decades ago. oh, with campaigning, he's got some brazilians, a worried about the potential violence. monica yanna keep reports from rear disney . transgender council woman benny bitty ali has received more than
5:17 am
20 death threats since she was elected 2 years ago. she was forced to leave brazil for safety reasons and only returned after being promised special protection. that did not happen. no thing and i've done nothing. i have no security, only a body guard the all the still fears for her life, but has decided to run for re edition nearest state legislator in october's elections as an office global boss. these elections are not only about ideals and votes. they're also challenged to remain alive. we've seen people being killed because they're on one side or the other. the political polarization is very strong . brazil has a history of political violence, but since 2018 when the last presidential elections were held, there are growing concerns that verbal and written death threats may be actually carried out in july, a supporter of present j boss. when i was shut down. marcella honda, a member of the leftist workers party, founded by former president lucy nostrand,
5:18 am
lula vast silva. lula is both so matters main rival in october's presidential election and is heading the pose. valgy for high shot was running for congress and his a close friend of bull san ardo. he says, all candidates are taking security measures seriously. with him, i said, he remembers the day bull sonata was stout during the 2018 campaign. oh and jose i one i both scenarios wearing a bullet proof vests, but that's not enough. he will always ignore protocol to talk to the people. the senior bull sonata was stamped and elected council woman marielli foot uncle, inactive ist of black, and gay rights was executed. the crime was never solved, but a statue in her name has been inaugurated during the past 3 years, political violence in brazil has tripled somewhat of 400 new brazilian politics has
5:19 am
always been polarized. but since 2018 we've had president j are both on arrow, openly disseminating hatred. no of the president has done this. that's led to an increase in political violence. what result, federal police has been training an extra 300 agents to protect candidates during october's elections. but in brazil, fear it's not enough. money can not give on jazeera rio de janeiro as b to oliver stuco. he is an associate professor of international relations at the jw a toyota vargas foundation in south palo joins us live via skype. thank you for your time. now this is a polarizing election and it has been for some time talk us through what's at stake . well too many people, not only the presidency, the estate, but perhaps the countries democracy, the whole president boston has continuously song to talk
5:20 am
about supposed vulnerability the, the electoral system without actually presenting any concrete proof. but there is a perception that the constant talk about, you know, the integrity of the actual system and about suppose fraud could allow the president to question the result if you lose is in october. so i think there is significant risk that. ready brazil may face a similar situation to that in the united states in 2021. when the incumbent, donald trump, did not recognize the election in an attempt to obstruct a peaceful transition of power. and of course, the destructive polarization now between supporters of both sonata on the right and lula on the left has really contributed to a very 10 situation which has led to a lot of concern only in brazil,
5:21 am
but in the entire region. all the potential pre or post electoral instability that could affect one of the world's largest democracies. yeah, let's talk a little bit more about that. how real are the fizz of that kind of political violence that we're talking about. the kind that ended up on, on the storing of the capital that we saw in the us. well, sonata has been a great support of trump and an interestingly enough astra. generally 6 o several of his sons have. ready spoken approvingly of the invaders, and i actually said that with better planning, they could have achieved their aims. both sonata has echoed trumps claims about fraudulent fraud in the u. s. selections. he has actually told a members of the biden administration who came to visit that he believed that fraud had taken place in the us election. he has been one of the last brazilian president
5:22 am
of the last prisons of the world to congratulate vine and recognize him as, as the president of the united states. so in a way what he is signaling to his supporters is they have been fraud in the united states supposedly. and the same thing will happen in brazil. and i think what's most worrisome in brazil compared to the states is that there's a lot of ambiguous signals that have been sent i, brazil's armed forces. the generals have benefited a lot from the bolts, not a government. most several of them are in keep positions of power. there's about 7000 military men and women occupying posts in the most, not a government, and a lot of concern to what extent the army would protect democracy if both sonata and perhaps a number of armed supporters were to question the result. and from what i've been reading the economy seems to be the main mandate that people be though seeing by it
5:23 am
seems to be what's concerning. brazil's economy is now full cost to grow by 1.7 percent this year, which is a substantial improvement from where it was in january when we were talking about recession. do you think this could be both scenarios save? yeah, if you like. well yes, i mean, the situation economic situation has been quite negative over the past years, but now there is some signs of a post pandemic recovery. however, inflation is still relatively high. the government now has implemented an unprecedented spending spree ahead of the election has actually changed the constitution because this amount of spending was actually illegal prior to this election cycle. so that could certainly. busy elevate, his approval ratings to some extent, but still particularly inflation when it comes to food, for example, is still quite high. and basically, i think one of the reasons why lula is leaving is that for most people,
5:24 am
most people are a worse off today than they were 4 years ago. now, what bolton i will seek to emphasize is the cultural warranties. and this is his home turf. and i think there he's, he's somewhat better than the work as party candidate. we're talking about, you know, the importance of family and traditional values. and particularly if angelica voters continue to be quite supportive on president fernando. so i think the boat could be quite close. ready and both are certainly still has a chance to win this election. very, very interesting to talk to you all of us to call from the toyota vargas foundation based in south paula. thank you. now at least 20 people have died and east and pakistan after passenger boss crashed into a fuel truck sparking fire. the accident happened near the town of july, poor pier walla,

5:30 am
security strategy. the policy seems instead to be to intensify the existing one with increased military style policing in regions where cartels operate. while experts in mexico say, these latest instances of cartel related violence don't appear to be connected. the picture that's emerging is of a country where despite more boots on the ground, security forces are still losing ground to criminal organizations. when will it up a low al jazeera mexico city. ah, this is al jazeera, these, your top stories, u. s. president joe biden has signed into law a fortune $30000000000.00 climate health in tax, though. he says the inflation reduction act address is climate change and we're used as deficits by having the wealthy pay more taxes. democrats see it as a major win for the policy ahead of november's.
