this is al jazeera ah 11 o'clock. this is the news i live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, president vladimir lensky says ukraine is formerly applying for a fast track nato membership. it follows russian president vladimir putin to announcement on the annexation of fort ukrainian regions. i gunfire heard near the presidential palace in bikini fossil capitalism, military takes over important installation sparking fears of a qu, i suicide attack and an education center in afghanistan's capital cobble kills at least 50 people and on p systemic with your sport reassurances. the counsel woke up is a catalyst for change. organizers say every team will be welcome, following the latest shoot protest by denmark.

ah, so we begin with breaking news out of ukraine, where president vladimir zalinski has formerly signed an application for fast track membership to join nato. zelinski was flanked by his prime minister in the speaker parliament as he signed this document. it's in direct response to vladimir putin is moved to a next for regents of ukraine earlier on friday. the lens, he says ukraine is ready for negotiations with russia, but not while vladimir putin is president. great grandkids, ukrainian men and women, all our friends and allies, actual allied to day. we're here in cave red in the heart of our ukraine. and we're making the definitive step in the community of 3 nations. we can see who is threatening us, who is prepared to kill us and may, must, who would not stop at any atrocity in order to expand their area of control.

on the 24th of february, the 1st full scale strike was carried out against ukraine. that was the 1st one, russia was not stopping and would not have stopped on our borders, had we not stopped it. other countries would jeopardize towards the baltic states moldova. georgia has worked on roster and wanted to subordinates, various nations of europe and asia just 6 month ago. now, this prim crime is stopped in the ukraine. it was stopped near ki, of, and should, near here and as of style in so me region, in hockey region in snake island on snake island, it will be stopped and don bath and in the south of ukraine when we liberate them. and especially in crimea, in a 3 ukrainian crimea, all of our country's territory will be liberated from this enemy. it is not just the enemy of ukraine, it is the enemy of life itself, of humanity, of law,

and truth. russia knows this, russia feels our power. it can see that here in ukraine, we approving the strength of our values, and this is why it is in a hurry or russian president vladimir putin says, i'm historical wrong, has been corrected. that's after he signed agreements to in his words, re unite for regions in east and ukraine with russia. cave and the west have rejected the annexation of ukrainian territories. calling to land. gra putin says the kremlin will protect the 4 regions. using all available means you'll see it, but it's the meal you want. the people of done boss, low hands curse on his will answer. put his yet done, have expressed their choice and so on, and they will get our compatriots forever. pictures of them we call on the keyboard as him, immediately sees are still it sees with an return to the negotiation table, with the choice of these regions as it is not something we will discuss it, that the government of kia actually must respect this decision. only in this way,

can we have a path to crease, but us will defend our land with koya strain theory and all our means was bitter. well, let's take a quick look at the areas of ukraine. the kremlin now claims as part of russia. se about 15 percent of ukraine's tertiary it is important to note the under international law. it is illegal to hold referendums during conflict and where people are under threat. the un secretary general says the annexations have no legal value and must not be accepted or hammered. valis dining by force of master at 1st, let's go to rory, challenge and cave in at rory. so ukraine has reacted to this by pushing for the one thing that russia categorically does not want. absolutely, i mean this is a dramatic step from presidency zalinski. obviously, following a dramatic step by a vladimir putin of russia, as you say, nato membership has always been a red line or for russia,

ukraine's nato membership. russia has said that, yeah, nato who is pushed up to its borders or over the last year's broken promises that russia believes were made in the ninety's not to do so. ukraine has always been considered part of russia's back yard and therefore sacrosanct in a way. so for zalinski to do this, he knows that this is going to wind up vladimir putin, but he is taken this step because i believe he thinks that there was no alternative . there had to be some response from the ukranian government to the annexation of 15 percent. of its territory, of course, following an invasion that has led to the deaths of her thousands and thousands of ukrainian troops and civilians. will nato welcome you crate in? that's a big question. now, nato has certain rules for accession, it has to be unanimous. so all of the other members have to say, yes,

this new member can join, but there are certain criteria and one of the criteria that, that nato has, is states, or aspirants or nations, have to have a commitment to the peaceful resolution of territorial issues, territorial disputes, now of course, we have a war going on in ukraine. we have territorial disputes are for which there is at the moment, no possibility of a police for a peaceful resolution. so that's a difficult hurdle for ukraine or to jump over. some might say, an impossible, you hurdle, few cranes jump over and get into nato. but, you know, maybe allowances will be, we don't know. we understand that there is going to be a press conference given by install a bug. the secretary general of nato, beginning in about an hour. so you might find a little bit more then about how possible ukraine's fast track membership to night. so actually is rory,

thanks for that. so that's the story from key. let's switch to moscow. and mohammed viola standing by for having to so the deed is done as far as russia is concerned. the annexations have taken place and celebrations, underwhelmed the fight nika, russia is going on. it is the plan in the implementation of its plan. we have the stuff taken today, the finding of das tracy and the celebrations behind me here in front of the camden . the development took place off immediately this request from ukraine to join. nato probably will have somebody action here, but i believe that the, the strongest reaction or the, the sure the reaction will be when the west respond. when nato respond to that request with yes or no. and particularly with yes, which really has the analyze and talks about president put in his his speech

actually essential for letters one to the russians. but this is for their interest . this is to make strong again, this is for the protection of russian, great civilization and great history and values. and it is for the future generation to protect process from the bad. it was coming from the west saying that the width, once only the destruction of the complete destruction of russia, they don't need. it says ross, any the cells will have to engage with some plans to plans of colonization plans to control other nation. the other message is addressed to the west. it's that they have to know that their plans to the plan also will never succeed. and russia will never accept to be under the suit the laws. he talked about what you, what he described, what could see in less than policies on friendships with other nations. crisis in

energy was deliberately planned by west constants, particularly by the united states to continue to exploit europeans and europe in economy. another message is addressed to ukraine, to forget about the territories of javion and next at to come to the negotiation table. or we'll need to talk about accepting those terms on the new a ball that a thrasher has drawn. bratia has to continue to fight in those territories because some of them are only 40 or 50 percent or even less on the ration control about me is the war goes on. and the mobilization has been decreased just a week ago is going on also, which means that there is no in the horizon, there is no clear. and to this conflict, or i'm, i'm going to let him a 100 reporting as those as celebrations, go on in red square. thanks very much indeed for that. so let's get the u. s. reaction. now we can bring in our white house correspondent, can we, how could i,

kimberly, this administration be very clear, of course about its position and sanctions to follow and that's right. the u. s. president, as well as the secretary of state releasing statements and detailed sanctions as a result of the actions by the russian president, u. s. president. condemn a in a statement, the actions of lateral putin saying that this is a fraudulent attempt to alex ukraine's sovereign territory. calling this a violation of international law, trampling on the un charter. 8 he says that this is showing contempt for peaceful nations everywhere, and the actions of vladimir putin in the words of joe biden, simply have no legitimacy. as you, as president goes on to say that the united states will continue to recognize not the borders that have now been recognized by russia. but instead, what the u. s. calls the internationally recognized borders of ukraine,

and will continue to support ukraine to retain its sovereign territory sole over that territory, both militarily, as well as diplomatically to that end. the u. s. president, reminding the international community that just this week, it was again put forward another 1100000000 in military support in terms of aid that now brings the total 216000000000 since the start of the russian invasion of ukraine and the u. s. president, going on to urge all members of the international community to reject what he calls this illegal annexation to stand with the people of ukraine. now in terms of the punitive measures that the united states has imposed, ah, we understand that this is very detailed. it is coming out in a number of what it means. it measures through the treasury,

the commerce and the state department. we know that there are sanctions targeting russian government officials, their families, bella, ruffian, it military officials as well as russian military officials. we also know that there are sanctions having put into effect against countries that support russia in terms of political or economic support. we also know that there are targeted sanctions against 109 state duma members. 116, the members of the federal council of rushes federal assembly. and there are also visa restrictions put into place as even sanctions against the governor of russia's central bank. so as you can seen, it very detailed, very punitive and a very strong reaction coming out of the united states as a result of the actions that have come out of russia in recent hours. indeed are. kimberly, thanks don't i can be held to the in washington d. c. well, at least 25 people have been killed in

a miss australia near the southern ukrainian city of south florida. regional governor system missile hit a convoy of civilian vehicles in the outskirts, the city of both russia and ukraine are accusing each other for the attack rod idol hm. it is in ukraine's city of zap region. so audit, the immunization, as we've seen, has been formalize all the while the fighting goes almost been helped me on the ground. well, actually, it's been a very quiet day ever since those ceremonies started in moscow in the morning. there was one air siren after the other. and of course, over early morning, there was that who refigure attack on a convoy of people going back to the russian occupied side of zappa regia. because rush only holds 50 percent more or less of this region. it was a convoy of humanitarian workers bringing in some food and some supplies and was among

them. there were also people who were civilians who are just going back in to bring out relatives to bring out friends. the student i horrific attack. the convoy was in direction of the territory now claimed by russia, but ever since we haven't heard air so as which is actually quite different of. and that was jeered and old of the past week, where airstrikes had increased. not only here ins, parisha, but in other major cities like a dinner pro, for example, where there was 2 nights in a row as tries that killed civilians in high cave in the southern city of query. now, people knew that this was going to happen. people before the referendum started where saying that there was no point of even following events, because they knew that the results were already set in stone in moscow. and this

was just as many people use the term a show for the cameras. you know, they were saying also that there was a lot of intimidation and they were saying that from their point of view, this is not an illegal referendum by any sort of, of the imagination simply because a lot of people kept on coming out of those regions. throughout the 5 days of the all of them saying exactly the same thing that they were leaving because they did not want to take part in their vote. and because they were extremely worried about the possible mobilization of young people below the age of between age of $18.35, do the russian appointed governor administration of the upper region had said that they would be mobilization in that part of the region. and then we heard conflicting messages from the russian appointed administration in his son. so young

people also were trying to leave people very worried that they will find himself in a situation where ukraine is a fighting ukrainians. and of course, to get the russian passports. so they can get mobilized and so can they? this is a very difficult situation. and i think people are worried specially that we haven't heard any clarification about what these boundaries were. b, as i said earlier, he ends up region, only 50 percent of the territory is under russian control in her so it's much they control a much larger part of that region except for a belt in the north where the ukrainian army is going ahead with a counter offensive, it's not as successful and as rapid as the one in, in north east, but it's ongoing on a daily basis. and then also they don't control don't yes, they only control about 60 percent of done yet. so what borders are we talking about? and i think people who are sick, sat today sleeping here in the regional capital of his upper region will be asking

their question, is there any more territorial ambition or not? are we talking about the entire region or not? i think no one expects that even today was a quiet day in the night would be quite or the next few days will be quite they don't expect that order. thanks about how to i don't have a teacher up any more head on the news are including the death toll following. have hearken in goes up. we'll get the latest update from florida in brazil, the final presidential debate has taken place ahead of sunday's election. 7 candidates vying for the top job head injury rules under review after scare for the miami dolphins, people have that story ins. ah

say that has been heavy gunfire from the main military camp and the keynote facet. capital and a blast has been heard near the presidential palace statement to shoot on the entry military rulers. facebook page said there had been a confused situation with in some army units and called for com. on thursday, there were protests in the streets about the security situation of the soldiers were ambushed by rebels earlier this week for violence and unrest of spill dover, from marley into neighboring burkina faso multiple times. over the past 10 years, the country suffered a series of attacks by fighters linked to al qaeda's north african branch and iso. they've been escalating their offensive and gaining territory in the region since 2015 military leader hall ari at santiago. the me red rose to power through a crew in general. he asked the country civilian government and promised to contain armed groups operating in the area. but to me, better failed to thwart new attacks. large supply convoys taking aid to besieging, blockaded towns were hit twice in september by improvised explosive devices killing

dozens of civilians. let's enough nippers hackers falling developments from neighboring senegal. we have a little bit more details on who, which unit is on the streets of the capital. why going to do with the unit call the cobra unit. usually this unit, it's a special force that you will find on the front line fighting arm group link to iowa chi, an eyesore in the, in the northern province of soup. and it's in fact, members of that unit that came under attack just 3 days ago. their convoy was attacked by on groups linked to the local affiliate of isolate. officially, the government said, 11 soldiers were killed. 50 civilians were killed during this amber's. but some members of the military told us that the death toll was much higher. the accused, the government of colonel de me back to power in january of covering up information of, of misinforming the public. and it's interesting because it took power last january

. there were people in the streets, happy to see this military take over, hoping that it would bring back security to the country. but what we seen is the reverse situation. more attacks, millions of people this place, and just people fed up with the current security situation with people seeing that more and more people are dying at the hands of our groups that control large swath of land. specifically in the north, in the west of the country. the european union, once even further action on the blocks energy crisis, you members have agreed to cut a peak. our power consumption there also did or imposed levies on windfall profits of energy companies or an attempt to bring down skyrocketing energy prices of west and being worsened by the war in ukraine. the winter is coming and we need to act as i said now, now, means now. now is today. maybe to morrow. now is not in the we can definitely

not in a months. so i expect the commission to come waists additional measures as soon as possible, as they surely on how to reduce the gas price and how to provide an immediate relief to industrious by the touch of other joins is now from paris in touch. winter, not far off by any means, and there appears to be the sense of urgency yes, of winter looming. we've got those leaks from the north stream. a gas pipeline, certainly a sense of urgency felt in brussels, where energy ministers were meeting to try and decide what they can do to shield consumers. businesses across the european union from these soaring energy bills, though they have agreed on 3 measures. they've agreed to, to, to put in place

a power saving measures, trying to encourage companies to reduce their consumption of energy. they've also agreed on a windfall to windfall tax for some power companies that have been making huge profits during this energy crisis. companies that don't necessarily rely on gas and also a solidarity tax. they calling it on fossil fuel companies in the money from are those taxes will be diverted, they say, or to help poor households across the european union. time is not a luxury said, the a check energy minister when he was hosting this meeting or however they didn't agree on one, a measure that has been put on the table repeatedly over the past few weeks. and that is the idea of a, a price cap on gas imports. now that has been spoken about in the context of a, a cap on russian gas impulse, but 50 member states are pushing very hard, including poland, france, spain, and belgium for

a price cap on gas imports from any country into the european union. they are saying that the a lead the price could be put at a limit that would still make it very competitive for the european union on the international market. but they say that would help reduce a prices in the european union. but so far, they each commission very reluctant to implement such a cap because they are worried that it would dissuade companies or countries from importing gas to europe. for example, alan g gas at such a crucial time when the really needs are all the energy can get on flash advancement. natasha, battle alone, paris. let's focus on we can speak to eddie into rich. no, he is a senior research fellow at the oxford institute for energy studies missions of it's working with the program at 1st. what do you make of these emergency motors brought him? well i'm, i'm just quite worried about the government's getting involved in market for him. when markets for they worked really well as

a call they just mentioned. for example, is ideal price. kathy is terrifying for me because you can't just, you know, price a in, well functioning market is a messenger. so shooting a message is not going to help anyone. and it would be unprecedented, wouldn't it? absolutely. but you know what, my kid, my main worries now, what do you need? gas cap in gas prices is going to reduce supplies into europe and might be going to end up with shortages. that's very, very warming and european commission is absolutely right to be hesitant about that particular measure. not so having said of imposing levies on the profits of companies of fossil fuel companies. no, no, i'm talking about kept a bit on his bill. let's move on to that concept of it taking a winful tax. yeah, i mean look, if we do have a pretty exceptional situation. generally myself and any economists will tell you

when full taxes are not a good idea why it was not a good idea. well they, they, they send the wrong message, wrong incentives, and they're very arbitrary and they set precedent. for example, in this particular case, like your pin commission is talking about 140000000000 revenue from into greenfield tax on, on, on energy companies in europe. why, why energy companies? why, why, why not where companies making arms. they're also heading for profits as a result of the world. for the talking specifically about the energy on there, maybe the energy companies making the energy. and they would argue that this money will be diverted to help poor household. and emotionally, speaking of a lot of people listening who trying to figure out how to, you know, either by like a bridle put the lights on it, be a welcome thing would look look, there's actually no doubt that people need help, that i think just, just. ready wrong type of help on the even the i m f came out. ready and wound up

pretty much europe and everyone else that was a politicians never listened to them. i bet that that should be targeted instead of subsidies caps and so on. silly measures that should be targeted handouts to those in need. that would imply spending a lot less money by governments, which are cash strapped at the moment, less inflation, less long term problems, it will reduce demand. and why, why, why? why are we subsidizing which households, for example, doesn't make sense? you know, i handouts to people who i need are absolutely necessary. these are dire straits. people need to be helped. but what the governments are doing right now is completely. ready wrong time charge of help, or what about this other one with they've agreed to cut peak power peak our power consumption in a bid to, to reduce electricity consumption, to observe how will that, well, i'm not sure exactly which one they're talking about because i understand today the agreed on some voluntary reductions, i don't know whether it's voluntary. no what,

what, what basically that means that as we hit some, some peak on consumption, that normally some big consumers like industry are being told to shut down and that's not very good for the economy either. i didn't sorry, great to hear your perspective, appreciate it. thank you. welcome to let her know 0 thousands of palestinians take part in the field of the 7 year, a 7 year old in the occupied west bank. a breaking new ground motor g p adds to brand new countries to 2023 calendar. pizza will have all that in the sport. ah, the chuckle. region of paragon, one of south america. we followed 2 men who seemed to thrive on his challenges.

a veteran truck driver answered every call, whatever the weapon to provide for his growing family and the cowboy who enjoys his run in the line. risk in it all. paris walked on al jazeera. oh no.

ah, are you watching out 0 reminder about top stories this hour? ukrainian president vladimir lensky has formerly signed an application for a fast track membership to join nato. it is in direct response to vladimir putin move to the next 4 regions of ukraine earlier. a russian president vladimir putin says signing the agreements has corrected a historical wrong. putin says the criminal will protect the costanza bridget. the next and once regents using all available meets on that. let's bring in roger hilton, he's defense fellow at the think tank. got sick and john just now from vienna. roger hilton, so the ukraine in response to all this to try and do what russia is always categorically, not wanted, that's too fast. track an application to nato. what are your thoughts on that?

well, good evening. thank you for having me from the 1st day from february 24th where we started the i think it has progressively gotten worse for vitamins. you know, there's a running joke inside data that he should when you're war for the most support. in terms of degree nato. but i think i think the look on in between wild president, he hi signed or had declared his intention to want to join me. i think we should take it with a little green with a bit of grain of salt. this process will not happen overnight. i think it's a very controversial and sensitive issue that will require discussions well be on capital than the north atlantic council. and we really need to identify countries like hungry who might not necessarily be on board with it right away. so while it's on the wrong that was sent the long message to the kremlin, i don't think this is a done deal anytime soon. and that will require a lot of political and diplomatic when you're going to come to fruition. it's pretty evident that says, support of native countries will continue. there's no reason to believe at the moment that they're not going to continue for one reason to really point annual.

the viewers is that ukraine has clearly demonstrated that was the right technology and tried to strategy. they can win territory back, they can liberate occupied territory. and all of the leaders find the recent package coming from washington and other 1100000000. hi, martha. very other sophisticated equipment is on its way. and to morrow something that everybody should recognize is that the ukraine, when we find us congress will also be inactive. which will be another means, words you can use to streamlined material material equipment to help them defeat russia. president person spoke earlier long old speech, she vitriolic condemnation of those he perceives to be enemies of russia. what did you make one in the theme each over and over again, he looks more tired and meeting than they are more paranoid. it goes without saying that a lot of it is without any real competency or any real content. he's in a very tough position. i think right now internally because while after 7 months of war,

what did he have to show besides not his material and humanitarian loss. he's got the incomplete control of 4 provinces, which it is not sufficient enough for a hard liner to have been calling for president to escalated and to entice you to inadvertently sorted the catalyst dissent with its mobile edition ordered. i'll be partial where, you know you've had more people now leave the country. then i think the 1st exit is the intelligent who like after february 24th, to again, very potemkin, pumping circumstance, but nothing behind it. we're looking at the people in the audience who are listening to his speech. military, their listening will, will know the things again, again, somebody to what degree would there be support for what he had to say. i mean, you kind of wonder how much were percentage? well, i mean it's a thing we, when we should everybody out in the national security council early days before the invasion, asking for everybody's lesson doors meant that he goes without saying that everything on the bottom suggest that lot of mere taking on a very trouble. we

a very troubling, sorry about that with the music. he's taking on a very troubling behavior. we're just like him there. he's in and stuff is becoming very involved in the military finding. he's not letting his military professionals make judgment call. i'll be retreating when they can't receive equipment. so the more you get involved, the better for you free and also the worse for russian battle strategies. roger said if, if this sticks, what, what will be the impacts of this on the institution of international these annexations? well, i mean, i said the beginning, i think we have to really question reiterate, you know, russia sedition on the curity count on the un in general. but they have a lot of permanent member to come in and occupy territory and commit atrocious work crimes. i can explain things of that nature and moving forward and there's a lot of work to be done. bobby territory will never be recognized and there's every indication that you create will continue to fight them back. but i think as

long as the united states and i think need to provide support for ukraine, then the fundamental struggle or the ideological struggle, b, t. democracy. and i talk richie, democracy should come out at the end, but there's still a lot of hard work left to do and it will be the road ahead. roger, thanks for that. roger hilton speaking, chris, thanks very much indeed. thank you. thank you very much. now officials in the us state of florida say the death toll from harkins and has risen to 21. the focus now turning to massive such rescue operation as the storm heads towards north and south carolina, florida governor on desantis. it says the clean up operation will take a long time to complete theirs. life rescue, making sure people are, are ok following up on any type of of calls and there's been really hercules and effort. there's also the assessment ok of what's been damaged. that's going to impact the entire community. and of course the power is

a big issue. there are people that are working. i think lee and charlotte have about 15 percent restored. there's going to be able to be some more restored likely in the relatively near future. there is going to be some that's going to require some rebuilds. well, let's be now to embassy correspondent, wendy woolfolk, who's in charleston, south carolina, wendy. i can see it's certainly looking pretty grim behind you. what's the latest? miss nick? hello to you. we have been experiencing just torrential rain and fierce when all morning long and it kind of ebbs and flows and just how bad it is getting out here . but the national weather service has issued a flash flood warning, meaning that travel is simply not safe. now, this area is no stranger to these tropical systems. we even talk to people who are trying to write it out in the boats in this marina behind me. however, i must say,

our crew is staying safe here in the hotel and we are very thankful to still have power and water at this hour. we do know that forecasters are predicting it's going to hit somewhere between charleston where we are and myrtle beach, which if you are familiar with the south carolina coast, it's about 2 hours from here. but no matter where it makes it 2nd us landfall, the clean up here is going to be significant, but nothing like what they are experiencing down in florida today. if there is any bit of good news, nick it is that for the south carolina coast, this is just going to be a one day event. then ian will move on up into north carolina and virginia and the mid atlantic coast. that's the latest here. live in charleston, south carolina. i'm wendy woolfolk. back to you, wendy. thanks very much for that. but with you as things develop the thank you. at least 50 people have been killed ultra suicide bomber target. it's in education

center. incredible. students were taking part in a test to prepare for the university entrance exams. the attack happened in an area of the capital, where many people from the historic minority live has are, is, are predominately shit muslim group and are often targeted because of their race and religious practices. phases alone does a professor political science. so a couple universe in he says, i've chemist on is facing a critical security charge. there's a curity situation across have going to stand as slowly and rapidly deteriorating things are not getting as it was planned and expected from the takeover of taliban over the country. we see witnesses smallest meshes around the country specifically in north of north of dun and central time. today's blast was in years act of terrorism, and it was considered one of the biggest in post and post

20th. i think we heard several such attacks. we're minorities, religious, different groups were attacked and also targeted killings you have been witnessing the so many prominent religious scholars from different religious groups have been to get to and talked to, we can say that i've done is collapsing once again to it's very doubt nomic political and security situations. the presidential hopefuls in brazil have held the final debate ahead of sundays election. former president luther industrial lula desilva is leading incumbent john bel scenario and opinion polls. but the question is whether any candidate will have enough votes to be elected in the 1st round of the poles when we're appellate reports now from rio de janeiro. the final debate among presidential hopefuls in rio de janeiro,

while many expected the 2 leading candidates, former president recei nasty, a leather silver cup usa and incumbent candidate president j eatable scenario to provide details of their political platforms. the conversation ended up being more about accusing each other of lies and corruption, missouri. we sunday dad g. this is insane. the president, after public comes here speaking nonsense and that's why on october the 2nd to people will send him home. we are going this final presidential debate marked the last time the candidates would meet face to face before brazilians. head to the polls on sunday, and zoom in lieu in his force for president j 8 ball so narrow. this was also a last chance to close the gap between himself and his main rival, former president lula who has maintained a commanding lead. according to pulling data services north, foremost. oh village. i think they're almost old. we're a government that tends to the needs of the poorest or you're in,

lulu government. the poverty assistance was last today. there are 20000000 families that are receiving assistance from us in brazil, colon campbell. she quite paid. according to the most recent pause, former president lula counts on some 50 percent of the vote, which political analysts like said hugh or branches say could be enough to win the presidency without the need for a 2nd round of voting. yeah, i think that the there is a likelihood that lula whims on the, on the 1st run, it will depend on obsession. and the how the very few undecided voters roadside the vote. this presidential race has been one of the most polarizing in brazil's history. one thing voters here do agree on is that this election represents a critical battle over the future of latin, america's largest democracy, gagnen for them with political debates down the past elections of entered the final stretch about manuel rap alone al jazeera religion. eto for let's be now to i.

latin america editor, lucy newman, who joins us from south palo and mirror. a mirror draws a time to see how the poles shaping up. hi there, nick, while we're standing on the avenue, that follow least that this is the largest the avenue here in salvo results. largest city in its largest state with the largest number of voters. and you can probably see behind me there are some people with flags. this is the last attempt to get voters to cast their ballots for in this case on governor tauriel, a gubernatorial candidate and also deputies but law lives of course are on the presidential race. and with those, paul was showing that the former president and the senior by has between 15 and 16 percentage points more than the incumbent jane ball. somebody is getting extremely nervous. and what's extremely significant is that he appears to be laying the groundwork to kind of test the results of that election. should he lose in the 1st

round or if should he shouldn't go into a 2nd round with an even larger difference. he's doing this by contesting the validity of brazil's voting machines. it's voting system which has been in place, but the last 26 years. there's never been any question as to how legitimate it is, how, how transparent it is. but if all of those sounds uh familiar to because it is james bond or not, oh, it seems to be mimicking god, donald trump, we greatly admire on whom he says should have been elected president in the united states. it's been, it's of such a concern to the electorate pri, beautiful, that they are now threatening to take, but valuable. so now those liberal party to court accusing them of quote, spreading fake news. as you're talking, we say we're looking at the images of the tv debate, so we learned anything from the mother to change anybody's mind.

ah, well, i think we learned that they're very good at carrying out speeding matches. so that's what it was. it was a 4 hour speeding match, especially between a former president lola and the current president, but also 5 of the other candidates that were there that also ganged up against judah. who is the lead right now? so i mean, we had both fernando saying things, calling lula an ex con a traitor to the nation of faith, luna responded in kind. and then there was even a kind of a rather exalted candidate who was a, a man who calls himself an orthodox priest, but whose. ringback credentials, as one have been questioned by almost every one else. he got into the act to seem to be supporting both scenarios. this one on for hours and hours, up until about 2 o'clock in the morning local time. so it's really not quite certain how many people us was remained awake until the very end, or how much this is going to impact on their decision as to who to vote for connect
