polls suggest a tight race between that man right there, boss, an arrow and the challenge. louise and ask your lula to silver. a 156000000 people are eligible to vote in this election, which many believe will be a test of democracy. our latin america editor lucio newman, has more on the candidates final campaign pushes. oh, it was the very last opportunity for brazil's presidential candidates to appeal to undecided voters far right. incumbent president. jade bl sonata, but the emphasis on conservative family values a position to sexual diversity and to abortion, murphy, bro, whom you are war at the polls be a watchdog for boston arrow at the polls. keep your eyes wide open to see everything that's going on with county. go for the south. his left wing rival former president lulu the cba appealed to brazilians. not to believe when he called a shameless disinformation campaign against him. real soon they said to her,

i am 77 years old, and i have never seen a factory capable of producing so many lies as our current president. brazil is the was 4th largest democracy and for the 1st time in half a century, many worry about that democracies future school teachers, denise angela barrett, the bump lorna played their favorite brazilian music as they considered leaving their country. should bull so narrow, be reelected, you popular silk is looked at that if a kid what society is this, that he's agreeing with racism and intolerance. what one else arrival on the scene has revealed a savage trend that's come to the surface. and that makes us very sad. i also, nato has repeatedly been attacking the electoral court, suggesting that could be fraud if he loses fear in his father. thank you, miss barbara. yes, he can follow the same passion. trump used in the united states with the occupation

of the capitol. apparently they are assigned some direction. but unlike trump, the ballston arrow has the support of the security forces. another concern is both scenarios vow is reelected to change the composition of the supreme court. the only institution that which he and his allies no longer dominate for my squad too, ah, when one wants to change democracy for our nautica, see the system fails. and this is these flaws, but the current president paulson aro, wants to take advantage of because he evidently wants to transform himself into an alter crops. but opponents of luna are equally concerned about democracy. they say they fear he will turn brazil into a dictatorship fighting the left. when can that it's a parent support for the leaders of it is way like cuba and nicaragua, whoever wins, who still appears to be divided in half. and people on both sides of the divide are increasingly viewing the other notice an adversary, but as an enemy,

a dangerous phenomenon for brazil's democracy to see in human al jazeera. so let's get an update from monica who's joining us from a polling station in one of rio de scenarios. largest for villas. hi there, monica. so how much appetite is there for this run off? yes. well, there were long lines early in the morning, right now the lines are no longer here because the pull station has just opened here behind me. and everybody just went in, but they had been mining up since 6 30 in the morning back. so now and a half before the polling station opened and i was, we were watching very lively discussion on the line between people that would work voting for both sonata people. for law law, the person that was voting for bull sonata was saying that he defends christian values in the family. the person that was voting for walla was saying that he would

be defending the poor. now were standing in an area which is mostly lola voters because this is saw a big ha, velma wars long and people here are poor and they are the ones that usually vote for lula. but it's interesting to see this division because this is a very, very tight race. and the results should come out to night. and nobody really says, you know, i am sure that this person or the other will when it's very, very undefined. ok, monica, thank you so much. we'll check back with you a little later on monica in a cab reporting from a fellow in rio de janeiro. well opinions on who should be brazil's next leader different quite a bit. your boss did not help a lot. i like both on idle, not only for his economic proposals, but also for his defense of family values. i like what he's done to improve our country. the good things he has done need to continue. this is the month. oh,

i voted for do that back in 1989 in the 1st direct election after the dictatorship after i opted for other candidates. but now i've decided to vote for lula again because the opponent is bull sonata. also, nora has no morals. he makes fun of human misery, as we have seen in the pandemic. domingo available. so model on sunday, i'm going to vote for both scenario. he's to canada, i like and identify with from the right wing that he doesn't have an ideology or brazil is moving forward with him, but i spiked to other site. he's on the right tracking, present us your character, madam a baby in the funeral dog. i don't drink, i don't smoke, i don't. campbell, but i'll find something to celebrate little this victory. i have faith in god that he will be the next president of brazil. he was the best president brazil ever had . let's make a philip and when, as soon as the seal quest polling firm, he's joining us from bella horizontal. that's in brazil. welcome to al jazeera. so what are the poles telling us about the 2nd and final round the voting?

good morning. so it's a very decided call at this moment, reus experience, the state of utah division. my pulse suggests that 50 percent of voters think that both sonata deserves a 2nd chance as president. and about the same number of things that lou serves. the number of voters were afraid of a 3rd term of lula was only is ly. lar, last, the number of that are afraid of some reason is that it's showing to present or going to post a you know, divided way. i mean, 50 percent. think the post on how to should come back as president should keeping his power and 50 percent things. that lula is a 2nd chance. so it's a very and the size is call. it's very hard to say although. ready lula has some

advantage things he's in the front of the pose, the beginning of the right. and if you look at the 1st round, the poles did seem to underestimate the both scenarios numbers. i mean, how do you explain why the numbers were significantly far off and under estimating the support that both scenario had in the 1st round? and could we perhaps see a repeat of that? once again? yes, so actually around the world. so those actually didn't get very good chance of capturing both also not very good at actually capturing lula voters. and that happened because people total number of vote in the balls and that's just wrong. so when you compare the total votes in the balance, you see that of station was actually against lula. and because of that obstruction,

both worse over estimating lula, they were making him showing that he was actually, you know, almost likely to in the 1st round. and that was not happening because he's voters for one last educated, one young once they was they were last participated, participated last in the election the 1st wrong. so i think that's not going to happen in the 2nd round because we're working right now. we're likely voter models, which is a structure very similar to the north americans use to deal with extension. ok. both scenario, those seem to have some harsh words for the pollsters and he, he's, he's actually called them quote unquote, liars, as you know, claiming that the mistake swung up to 3000000 votes for the silver in the 1st round . and he's gone so far as trying to make it illegal to publish pulls that do not match election results was what is your response to this?

i mean, so most on i don't have a very clear agenda in terms of you know, how he unite does he's people. so before the election day he's agenda was about, oh, there was supposedly some fraud and electra electra electric system resist. ready good, so use all things, stuff like that. but in the day of the election, he kind of change that to try to go forward in terms of accusations for, to pose. i mean, brazil, that's a very bad situation right now, given that, you know, most of those people think that they have to follow whatever he says, you know, they follow whatever the kind of state. so in terms of, you know, doing the work we do as journalists had be attacked, that was do we have being impacted as well? we just hope that democracy prevail. and in the end of today, whoever wins,

we can come back to like a normal situation where the conflicts that spews are away. and we can come back, you know, just doing our regular work as we expect. you know, everything works in the office. all right, so thank you so much for nunez for speaking to us from brazil. still had on al jazeera, picking up the pieces in the philippines, 1000 and struggle to recover after a tropical storm devastates the region. and why the war in ukraine is making germany think twice about shutting down its last remaining nuclear reactors. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with sponsored my cattle aways hello, it's slightly drive across the good part of china,

almost the entire country. this storm was 900 kilometers in radius. and though it did bring strong winds, it was really the rains that did the damage. one village in the south, in the set of philippines got buried in mudslide friday morning. and that was even before the land fall of tropical storm knology. and right now, there are several still missing there does its dead. so the death told there is expected to climb, but really we are just starting to see the extent of the devastation of tropical storm knobby on the philippines. 13 soldiers have been ambushed and killed, and burkina faso security sources said the attack was carried out by an armed group, for members of the defense forces were also wounded. one dozen bass at or to the democratic republic of congo has been given 48 hours to leave the country can cha accuses rwanda's. government of supporting rebels in the congo is eastern provinces

but whenever they fire in russian troops, if i are back with it as we wait inside until there's a lull in the firing, the ukrainians have told us we can't show any roads, landmarks, or anything that will reveal their positions. this soldier says he was a kitchen appliance salesman before rushes invasion. so now they call him the electrician for, ah, between us and them is about 1800 meters of open space. and when someone appears, it is very noticeable. there was a time when the russians fired mortars machine guns and also snipers. miss sure. he answered them it. oh lest it not more than an hour. their life is simple on the front line. no mattress is here. this wood and a blanket. lozano loy loy and this is our small, almost family home. they have the beds where we sleep and afterwards we swap. we don't have hotel conditions where everyone has their own place, someone's working someone's on duty and someone's resting his my colleague,

germany has been committed to phasing out nuclear power. the plant had been for its 3 remaining reactors to shut down permanently at the end of this year. but would be warned ukraine cutting off energy from russia. many are asking if that decision should be reconsidered. dominey cane reports from berlin. on a calm, sunny day, the eas, out sky power station in bavaria, seems unremarkable. but a closer inspection shows its energy source is nuclear. one of 3 reactors in germany, which together provide around 6 percent of the country's energy and which would you to be switched off permanently? but with russian gas pipelines switched off its coal embargoed and it's oil soon to follow. the german government has serious worries about a sudden potential energy shortage in winter. and i think these 3 nuclear power plants that we have in operation all day can actually continue to operate over the next year until april 15th, as far as the respective capacity to allow that will have to be assessed

individuals. but this makes several things clear at the same time. some analysts believe prolonging the life of these reactors beyond april would be difficult determine the industry has been winding up their activities for the past 10 years. they have essentially, and for snell away, highly skilled workers which can't just reactivate, like there's a whole bunch of question. the role of nuclear power polarizes politics here. the main opposition party says the 3 reactors should not be switched off in april. the center, right? free democrats who are part of the federal government are not idea logically opposed to that. and the far right if de goes further and says new reactors should be built, all of which means that there may well be a de facto pro nuclear power majority in parliament. it's something many in the governing greens and s payday have spent their political lives campaigning against

. there's well a huge portion of resistance within the greens and the s p d to again reconsider this access. but of course, energy prices are going through the roof in germany and, and citizens are calling for relief. the chancellor says there is enough gas to get through the worst of winter and that nuclear is only a short term solution. should the situation deteriorate. but polls suggest many people on not so shore. dominic cane al jazeera berlin and our series continues to morrow with rob mcbride looking at how a japan and south korea are both looking to nuclear energy to meet their needs. despite the long shadow of japan's 2011 fukushima disaster ah.
