brazilians volts in their most polarized election in decades with left as former president lula da silva expected to beat the incumbent jar ball scenario. ah, hello there. i'm gillian mcdonald. this is south jersey, reliable from london, also coming candlelight vigils in indonesia after a football match ends in tragedy. with 125 people killed in a stadium stampede home after home destroyed on the way to lee men. the easton ukrainian town, the russian troops up just about bish russian. all scotch monastery has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. but now the ukrainian soldiers here tell us they fear the priests and slide of sheltering what they describe as russian collaborators and exit polls in bulgaria, show the party of conservative form,

a prime minister boy called boris off winning the country's 4th election in 2 years . ah hello there a warm welcome to the program as just under one hour until pulls close in brazil in elections widely seen as the most important since the restoration of democracy in the 1980s. around a 156000000 people are eligible to cast their ballots. that's the largest number in brazil's history. well, the vote could see the country shift back to a left wing leader. former president lewis ignacio alluded to silver, has been pulling ahead of the incumbent jar ball scenario by double digits. 76 year old luna was not able to run or even votes in the last election back in 2018 because he was jailed on corruption charges. but his conviction was later thrown out. i would for usually go, i couldn't, won't, because i was a victim of

a lie. now i'm hugh, warding that the recognition of my full freedom and with the possibility of once again being the president of this country. or incumbent president jar ballston, our cast his vote in rio de janeiro. he arrived at the pulling station, wearing a yellow and green t shirt with the world, brazil, which in on it boston r. o told journalists he's confident that he will when he's previously signaled he may, may refuse to accept different failing. the countries, electronic voting machines are prone to fraud, rajo romani what matters is the voice of the people. what matters is that clean elections and about problems made the best when a will you recognize the result of the election? well, we have correspond standing by in both brazilian and in south palo. let's start with our latin america and is salisia newman in south palo, where lula has his head for his hi there,

lucille. and what are you hearing and seeing in brazil's largest city, there have been complaints of violence or at least irregularities as, as some fear. but what's been happening well, this is indeed the largest city of, of the largest number of voters. it's been the battle ground for both candidates until now. it has been very, very peaceful irregularities, plenty of them. but it seems that nobody is too upset because both of the, the supporters of lead, the leading candidates died ball. so nato and luna, that seat of i have gone to the polls, absolutely plastered in electoral propaganda. i'd stickers, t shirts with the faces of their candidates on them that supposed to be illegal, but apparently here in brazil that's not too much of a sin. we had it has been fairly peaceful in the whole country. in fact, we've heard only of a couple of cases of incidence, one of them in central brazil where asia border of j bowles fernando went in and started smashing one of the electoral voting booths. so that's about the only

really important thing. it's been, as i say, very quiet here, where i am right now is a, is a, is the headquarters for the a selection of lula that seemed like he came in a couple of hours ago. he made no statement to the media. he seemed very, very, a beat, however, which is not too surprising given that he is at least 10 to 15 percentage points. i head of his rival, president, i bull sonata according to just about all the polls. so he or his waiting on it quietly as everyone is at this moment, the results will start coming in in about an hour. one last very interesting point is that they were very, very long lines today because for the 1st time the electoral voting machines demanded or there was the, the, it was, it was not optional to put your fingerprint in order to vote. this time everybody had to put their fingerprints and whether they had been registered before or not.

and that's slowed things down. so actually some polling stations may close a tad later than they would have otherwise. but in about an hour's time, the counting will begin. fantastic. you see, we look forward to talking to you a bit later. thank you. well, manuel republic joins us live from the capital for a sillier money you are. i said the supreme an actual court in the brazilian capital house. the mood there as we near or at least get closer to the closing of the poles. as we heard just a moment ago from our colleague lucio newman, and sell palo, we are less than an hour away. now from those po's closing, we are outside of the supreme electoral court here in the brazilian capital, this is a very important body. this is the body that will be making that final determination over today's vote. now this is very important point to mention here, which is that under brazilian electoral law, a candidate needs at least 50 percent of the vote at plus one vote. in order to win the presidency. this will be the electron,

this will be the body that determines not only today's vote, but whether or not there will be a runoff election if a candidate either present the incumbent president jade will sonata or former president lula. the silva is able to reach that threshold of a 50 percent plus one vote. they could be named to winter today, but it will be up to this body to make that determination. the reason that were mentioning that now is that there has been this concern over whether or not a scenario could play out where the incumbent president able to nato a is defeated by his rival, former president lula. and whether or not he would accept the result of that election, that is what makes this body so important because it will be up to the electoral court to determine whether or not there will be a recount or what exactly that scenario will be. again, this has been one of the most polarizing elections in the country's history. and a lot of that polarization has been driven by the rhetoric from both candidates. on the one hand, you have president bull sonata who has been painting the his, his rival, lula da silva as his left wing radical. that's going to push

a brazil and the rest of latin america toward communism. on the other hand, you have former president lula who has been painting president bull. so nato is this right wing radical who's the anti democracy, canada, who's the anti environmentalist candidate. and this is really been pushing the country into this very polarized, very sort of tens political climate. now in terms of what the mood is here, it's quite calm, even for, for, for a normal sunday. it's quite calm here in the city. we have been seeing people drive around with their flags, many people sort of screaming the name of the candidates that they choose. but it does not seem like there's a lot of tension in the air. security forces here in the brazilian capital are having that said, prepared for any eventuality. there have been some measures that have been taking, such as a drone shield over the city. security forces are on stand by in case of any unrest, but until now everything seems to be in order we heard moments ago from the president of the electoral court. who said that despite a few irregularities, everything seems to be in order. there is an expectation that we're going to have

the results of the election within minutes, but the, even if that's not the case, the president of the court said that he does expect that those results will be available before midnight today. so we're now in the final stretch of the selection less than an hour to go. at this point, we're just waiting to see what the results are. manny, thanks for painting that page for us. then key. aah! and the chill has been held for the 125 people killed during a stampede at a football match in indonesia. ringback ah, hundreds of people gathered in the capital to cause her to remember the victims. the chaos began when supposes from the losing side, invaded the pitch. these responded by firing tear gas causing the crowd to flee for the exit president joke, a widow has ordered a review of security of football matches and says all games emily should be suspended until that investigation is complete. victoria gayton

process, t, a guess was fired because there was anarchy, young police estimate, 3000 fans stormed the pitch in did easy in president joker, which odo has ordered an investigation into the incident was loose, but i got body. i have specially requested the police chief investigates and get to the bottom of this case. furthermore, i have also ordered the indonesian football association to temporarily halt legal one matches until evaluations and improvements and safety procedures. i've been completed by them close to 42000 people attended the seller match all a rima, f. c supporters, sir, by fans weren't allowed to buy tickets because of the risk of violence. i think at this moment fif, i should step up not by bending innovation football, but working together, guiding our football association with the right security measures. east of his

a place of pilgrimage for centuries. but now the ukrainian soldiers here tell us they fear that priests inside sheltering what they describe as rush and collaborators. the bridge to the monastery over the soviet ski donates river has been blown up on both sides. unlike most of the population of the village, the priests are still here. lover, now taco bell, i'm for mertsa. this monastery comes under the moscow patriarch, which from the start has been destroying ukraine from the inside. therefore, we see all these monks as russian agents. so there's a very high chance they've been hiding collaborators. and some of the few people who stayed and survived the fighting, a sheltering in the basement of another damage nearby church. because their homes have been destroyed. ludmilla husband passed away in may. her children fled to hard

town of leim and demonstrates that its troops are making progress. it's in the occupied region of done that which moscow declared part of russia on friday. russia was a key issue in bulgarian general election. it's 4th in just 18 months, which could see boy co boris off, back in power. if he's able to form a strong coalition, will exit polls predict his conservative g r b party has secured 24.6 percent of the vote, despite losing power early last year. following massive anti corruption demonstrations were boris of his promised stability after inflation in the european union's poorest member state skyrocketed to 20 percent or reformers. premier carol, pet call is projected to win 18.9 percent and he led a 4 party coalition but was toppled by a no confidence boat after just 7 months in power. pat cove was ruled out, forming a call that coalition with, for result raising fears of the country's worse political instability since the end

of communism, boris of, on the other hand has said he will talk with anyone, including the ultra nationalist, openly pro russian vas rothstein, parsi which has gained popularity since moscow evaded ukraine in february. will exit poll suggests it's support has doubled to 10 percent and could play a role in the next coalition government under simmons, his live in the bulgarian capital, sophia andrew. it, it seems that if these exit polls are right, that potentially instability is really the only winner here. that's right. no clear winner at all. no surprise either. and instability is the result of the election. waco bars of who is hurt more than a decade in power himself. now, in the party with most of the votes. carol petroff,

who had been pushing against russia, were very strong, was a drawing is only few, 3 or 4 months in power or before a vote of no confidence. his cabinets went through. ah, he came a close 2nd, it has to be said. but this man, i had everything up against him. he had followed the e u line against russia i. he had refused to pay in roubles to gas prom, which was providing 85 percent of gas for bulgaria. and the result, well, the public went against him when the gas was turned off by russia that would appear to be the case. he did lose a lot of popularity because the economy was going down like as of the many parts of europe, but here, particularly bad hyperinflation, effectively as 17 percent in august, or under a total of 20 percent,

annual inflation. the economy in a very bad state. and also the electric facing and not only hardship, but confusion about russian influence here. because overriding everything has been the situation with russia's invasion of ukraine and how that affects this country, right? the way through resistance, in many areas from people are influenced by disinformation, which was coming from russia, undoubtedly, and also a, the gain in popularity of ultra nationalist politicians who are pushing rushes line. but it has to be said that boris off has been saying publicly that he sees vladimir putin as an aggressor. and he is going to be clearly clear in what he says. he's going to be backing europe and backing nato. so the language is very much pro weston and,

and it's against russia. but critics would say that this man has a history of, of allegations of corruption against him as an administration. you prosecutor, a citing a $120.00 allegations of corruption about his administration and its civil service . and also he himself was arrested and held in custody overnighted march or during go allegations against him of corruption. but the state prosecutor decided to release him. uh, the next day saying that so the charges couldn't be barked by evidence. andrew fascinating landscape to discuss and you thank you. both names have been casting their ballots to choose new collective presidents and parliamentarians amid growing ethnic tensions in the country. within 3000000 people were eligible to vote in bosnia herzegovina as a general election. the polls are seen as the most important since the end of the
