1:00 am
amidst the death and destruction, one man created a peaceful microcosm for boys whose fathers faced each other in battle. episode 3 of football rebels enters the world of footballing legend, frederick crushed each who went from coaching boys, football to teaching young men like frederick pushy, a besiege of sarajevo on al jazeera. there is no channel that covers world news like we do. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. what we want to know is how do these things affect people? we revisit please state, even when they're no international head. my i'll 0 really invest in that and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah, brazil on a knife edge is results in a presidential ronald put fall, right. president jar bull scenario,
1:01 am
neck and neck with his left. his rival newly da silva. ah. hello, i'm mary. i'm no mozy in london, you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. at least 81 dead off to a suspension bridge collapses in india's good dropped state, sending hundreds of people plunging in toe river. so i turn around and i told the crowd, gotten this way. people thought south korea are in shock after at least a $153.00 people died a crush during halloween festivities install the political vacuum in lebanon. as the president leaves office with no replacement appointed and only a caretaker government in place.
1:02 am
so the results are coming in quickly from brazil's presidential run off and the to better arrivals on neck and neck. this is where we stand so far with the numbers, 83 percent voting machines counted. the reason as soon as the silver is now in the lead with 50.3 percent. while you are both scenarios currently on 49.6 percent. now both scenario is the far right incumbent. he is seeking a 2nd time vowing to consolidate the sharp, conservative ton and brazilian politics. victory for lula, on the other hand, would mark as stunning. come back for the left, his former president, we spent time in jail on corruption convictions of been reports of highway police roadblocks, stopping buses, carrying voters in luda stronghold. though the election chief has spoken asked about that. he says that no one was actually prevented from voting while i last america added salisia newman is life 1st. lose headquarters in south palo, where you see, i'm not sure if you can hear me, but the mood appears to be
1:03 am
a very cheerful ah, it is. my room certainly is. i, you know, luna was inching forward ever so lonely, but now he had the 50 percent threshold at least for now you can see that his supporters are celebrating they are is static. they've been singing. what is the number one of the number one hits with basically says that balls are not always going to go. so natalie is out. but i would say that it's too soon to say that the difference between both candidates is actually extremely small at this point, not even one entire percentage, floyd, and there are still about 15 percent it, sorry, 50 percent of the voting machine still haven't been tally that hasn't come in yet, so it's not impossible that jade bull fernando could overtake lula again. now the
1:04 am
real problem is that they are so close that that means that either candidate could contest the result and that is a dangerous situation. for brazil, we known that president ball fernando has been saying for months now, following a bit to the example of his friend donald trump, in the united states that he did not press, the electoral system did not press machine the election is up. if he were a might also do the same because there was a bus is not running. oh, i marian in basically making it difficult a you can see a lucie
1:05 am
tell us more about the process itself. we were earlier discussing complaints that had come in about roadblocks being placed in the way of lula supporters as they were going to vote. now the electro chief has dismissed these allegations. he said that no one was prevented from voting given that the result is so close that concerned about that and that concerns about whether about the sort of fairness of the processes. you see, i can hear me. well exactly. we heard just a few minutes ago from the president of their workers party where does knowledge party think that they are demanding a whole investigation into this no matter apart from the roadblock that you mentioned. there were also areas where busses didn't show up at all. that means that people left waiting up to 3 hours before they just turned around when
1:06 am
a whole month able to go to vote. that is also very, very questionable, particularly since the government, the electoral council rather had authorized buses to run or not only more often, but also for free and all over the country. but unfortunately, it wasn't mandatory. and we did see that in areas where lula has more supporters. these buses not only did not run for free, they didn't run at all in many places. so that will work well. all right, thank you very much. our last america is lucio newman. there in sao paulo with well, there among lulu supporters are obviously very optimistic celebrating before. the final result is in terms of bo joins us now from a bowl snar riley in the capital, brazil. yeah. what's the mood like that? ah, well, we're here right in front of brazil's congress in still. yeah. and there's hundreds and hundreds of people gathered here to show their support for president working. i
1:07 am
don't wait for them because even though for the last few hours, they're both when i was, somebody has changed now. but as you can see right behind it, people are still celebrating. they believed that this is something that could change that his temporary dentist because just in some, a few minutes ago they were praying are, let's all forget about was when i was have to deal with any of sectors of this country in delhi. ko groups are very pressed and see what he supported on the bill . so nato has made what is known as the bible and the sector off this country. and that's very presence where i am today. when you were talking to people here, what they say is that they cannot believe that the liver president ruler is that currently running for the presidency that he should be in prison. even though this country supreme court in a way revealed and allowed him to run mostly because they said that the judge of
1:08 am
investigation was biased. but that's not something that people care about most when i came to power for. 2 years ago with this country's largest corruption scandal, the car wash operation, kind of that involved with the sector, politicians, them on many other and that ended with former residents in prison. and that's why most of the people will talk. you cannot believe that he's running their role take and have both in many of them both went out because they do not want to seek him in office once again. and they will continue to wait here at the election. and the counting crows is continues. all right, thank you very much. the latest from besedia, a veritable scenario rally out to raise a bo, this is where the results down right now. 88 percent of voting machines counted. reason oscio de la da silva. now in the lead with 50 and a half percent job ball scenario is currently on 49.5 percent, so it's still very close. all right, so all of those still cool is
1:09 am
a professor of international relations at the vargas foundation joins us now from sao paolo, maybe it's worth just taking a step back. we've been talking about what a very close race this is between both nara and louise. and as you look to self de silva, why is this being described? is the most significant election since the end of military role in 1985? why is this an important moment and brazilian history a hello moran? well this is, i think perhaps the most polarized race we've had since brazil became a democracy more than 30 years ago. 2 completely different visions for the future of the country. and what many believe has been a, an erosion of democracy over the past years present both now who's quite nostalgic about the dictatorship has actively sought to increase control over the judiciary
1:10 am
has had a very tense relationship of the pastor for years with civil society, with the media in general and, and that explains why many of voters with this at the center console muscles, either centrists or even center, right? have decided to vote for the workers party for the 1st time. at the same time, bol sonata has been able to are really a mobilize a set of the, our population, who will support him, no matter what. but he's also left open, whether he would accept defeat. and that explains why the selection is so important because we may actually face some to some extent of instability as we're looking to this post collections scenario in brazil. and how close is there is art likely to be and is it going to be accepted? do you think by all scenarios, shan't he, liz, what we're right now,
1:11 am
the situation we're la has slightly more than 50 percent of the votes. in brazil, we have an electronic voting system, but still in rich states of the votes of being transmitted to the central computer and the capital faster than in the poor, north east. and that's precisely where lula is performing a tends to perform quite well. so we're now expecting that these small difference between lulu limbo sonata will actually increase as we approach a 100 percent of those we encounter and i was slightly over 80 percent. so it now say that it's quite likely that lula will be elected. and then it's really up in the air. how about not a will react, he's spoken for months about her supposed vote of fraud without actually presenting any evidence. so lots of his supporters may not accept the result. recent polls suggests that above 60 percent of people who plan to vote for both fernando would
1:12 am
not accept or regard lula as the legitimate president. so we could, we can definitely expect quite some turbulence ahead. yes, i mean it, when hearing a lot of my previous guess was talking about ira vosta, the voting system is and, and you know, he was saying that ball scenario would be forced to be pragmatic at because, you know, ultimately if effort lula wins the election even though there are fears of political violence, slightly that touch app on scenario. might chester decide to wait and make a come back a bit later on. but could he still damage confidence in the result even if he isn't doing it explicitly. if his support as perceive that to be some sort of foul play or fraud, i know it will, it matter if there is any evidence to support at plain? well, there's absolutely i think a risk to stability, to the institutions. and even if both sonata were to accept defeat,
1:13 am
it's quite possible that some of his supporters will not. and then we could have some type of brazilian, generally sick scenario. and in a way or both not has always looked towards trump. and we know that both nato and his allies have studied general 6 in detail and have sought to understand why trump was unable to hold on to power. but he's also in a wave as been inspired by trumps capacity to maintain control over on the right in the united states and maintains that good chance is to to come back. so i am quite skeptical when it comes to the probability of bull sonata accepting defeat because he would have to be on an integration on january. first. he have to be there and turn and give the presidential sash to his arch enemy from whom he has demonized for quite some time. i think the best case scenario is both sonata,
1:14 am
perhaps not saying anything, staying away from the inaugural sion and, and perhaps telling his support is to not use political violence to make sure that we can have a peaceful transition. all right, thanks very much. olivia franco, perhaps we can speak a little bit more later on because as you say, the results of the voting machines are being counted very quickly. so i'd love to get your thoughts on. we get a result in which will probably be quite soon. thank you very much for now on account key have joins us live from rio, 91 percent of voting machines counted. they all still neck and neck. it's very close. what is the atmosphere there in rio? well here where we are and got back up on the beach, people are in the bars, they're watching the results very closely. there's the nap, which is from the, the electoral court. i don't know if you can see it here,
1:15 am
but it gives you the results in real time. so everybody was watching this, even in public bathrooms, in, in the bars around here walking out of the beach. ah, as soon as lula turned got 50 percent of the some while ago, there were very timid fireworks timid because nobody still wants to cry out victory before it's sure it's a very, very tight election. it's something that we've never really seen before this tight . so there are people are in other parts of the city. there are, are celebrations or people ready to celebrate some people in front of both scenarios. house in baja that you should call double sonata is in brazil. yeah. and the p t people are in another part of the center of the town, just waiting for the final result. all right. all right, thank you very much for now over. you're going to say across this story of the
1:16 am
results of being that votes being counted very quickly, electronic voting are over 90 percent. now, thank you very much. ria from your diginero mechanic. you have joining us. just want to talk to some other news quickly. now we've been falling developments out of india. why over 80 people have died after a suspension bridge collapse. this took place, the city of more be in good, your out state. officials say hundreds of people fell into the river when cable supporting a pedestrian bridge snaps. some people come to the twisted remains, waiting for emergency teams to rescue them. while others swam to safety. the 230 kurt meter colonial era bridge had been closed for renovation for 6 months and only reopened to the public last week. the barley, which would be the but the logo. many children were enjoying holidays for dueli and they came here as tourists. all of them fell one on top of another. the bridge collapsed to to overloading at some quarter telescope, or so were,
1:17 am
or some people who are moving on the bridge got injured while others fell under the water beneath. we started rescue work immediately and took the injured people to the hospital. d. i'm with joe or south career is in morning a day after a crowd surge killed at least a 153 people, celebrating halloween and densely packed alley in the capital. so people have been paying tribute to the victims laying flowers in taiwan town and night life district where the tragedy happened and expressing their condolences. most of the dead were in their twenties and thirties, businesses in the district of closed and present young folk. y'all, as ordered an investigation into what happened well, in lebanon, the head of state has vacated the presidential palace, leaving at the end of his turn without a designated successor or a fully functioning government. situation is described as constitutional. chaos. michelle owens departure trigger the a power vacuum now after parliament failed to agree,
1:18 am
honest successor for the role. ali hashem reports from the city of barbara. ah, they were 6 critical years that saw lebanon nearly descend into a faith state. resident michelle allen's tenure has come to an end but his promising to continue the fight against corruption within what he describes as. ready building establishment, good luxury, mainly it was like the biggest financial crime committed in the world using your own money. we could have cut the losses by using capital controls to prevent money smuggling. something that still hasn't happened and why they're challenging us. is it because they're going to be prosecution didn't wear little teddy? just like the last 2 president. parliament has not approved a replacement for our lunch in the country once again into crisis and creating a power vacuum onset. he's also approving the government's resignation. i think we
1:19 am
are very familiar with the vacuums. this is not the 1st time as you know that we face such a vacuum. it's more of a tradition now. 11 are nevertheless, i think this is representative of the inability of the current revenue constitution . it's inability to function properly. the president left surrounded by his supporters, who came to accompany him on his trip from bob, the presidential col, excuse me. this is our 2nd departure from the presidential since we did. the 1st saw him leaving defeated as the lebanese civil war came to an end in 1919. now he leaves behind a legacy that many beneath would remember his presidency. for some analysts believe that challenges facing lebanon began long before home came to office own specialists. he should be thought of as part of the continuum,
1:20 am
or what we are currently living in lebanon is, is a, continue with the off at path that has been, i'm babbling, for the past. not just 10 years or 11 years, somewhat even extend this content to continue until the 19 ninety's, our music christian came to call in 2016 endorsed by federal law in the political deal that brought back soon. the politicians are heavy as prime minister. many beneath will likely remember the own era, as at the time of great difficulties. the biggest one being the 2020 bay with port explosion that killed hundreds investigation into the cause went nowhere with various political factions exerts in pressure on the judiciary to limit the scope of the inquiry that was followed by the significant loss of value in the nation's currency, which has led to india, tulsa, financial,
1:21 am
and people are unable to withdraw their money. lebanon would now await the election of a new president in the coming weeks. but it's not only about political factions agreeing the candidate. it's also about regional players facilitating and supporting such a rule. now, despite all the troubles and eliminates, we'll hope to see a more stable future. and then net to their troubles. yeah, sure. measure 0 level. now people in somalia have been searching for lost loved ones after a suicide attack killed at least a 100 people in the capital market tissue. 300 others wounded relatives have been searching through rumble for those still missing to come. bombs exploded on saturday. a busy junction in the education ministry. the 2nd went off just as ambulances arrived on the scene he on group al chabarise is claim responsibility. it's am aaliyah's deadliest attack since

1:23 am
ground in recent days. oh, meanwhile, people have been gathering on the streets of the east and called the city of government to protest against what they call reminders, interference in domestic matters and its support of the rebels. gregory has denied backing the arm group. they are accusing the d. r. c. of military escalation, yes, we are tired of the unjust war. we want to tell the world to rwanda, to a gondo, to stop supporting terrorists in the d. r. c. enough is enough, warmer one there. now, i'm protesting because rundown a gander through d. m 2 and you 3 are attacking our country. that's why i say we don't want this aggression and you more students in or on of to fight the toughest warning out by the revolutionary gods. continue to protest at universities around the country. nationwide demonstrations of the death in police custody of massa, i'm meaning have continued
1:24 am
a thought to be really some of the strongest protests we've seen against the government since the revolution students shouted slogans calling for freedom were met with tear gas beatings and gunfire from riot police. militia, counter protest, also held in supportive government with rival protest is clashing the head of iran's revolutionary gods. had warned that saturday would be the last day of protests in assigned security forces would intensify. the crackdown now ukrainian turkish and new and delegations of agreed on a plan to help move 16 ships transporting grain in the black sea acquaint. as a total of $218.00 vessels are effectively blocked from making shipments after russia's decision to withdraw from the un broke a great deal. western governments are urging moscow to reverse the move, saying it undermines efforts to ease the global food crisis moscow's that it was calling off the 3 month old deal because of drone strikes on its ships anchored of
1:25 am
crimea quick update on the result so far in brazil's presidential run off 94 percent of voting machines have now been counted. louise and our seo lily da silva is in the lead with 50.6 percent. while his left wait, while his rival jar bosner is currently on 49.3 percent of the votes that bring in palo sotero is a distinguished fellow and former director of the brazil institute at wilson center . he joins us live from washington. just give us a sense of how better and acrimonious this election campaign has been o. he has been off for why would c class been m brazilian because we were not used to this type of polarization. this started, i think in the election of 16, the election that led to the victory of shay, annabelle shamal, sorry,
1:26 am
in 23rd. there is a, oh, you know, people are, are feeling that they are in a very strange country. now we were seeing our self image was used to be that despite all day inequality that we were, are always looking for middle ground, lot looking for negotiations, etc. avoiding the extremes of voiding violence, that this is a new equation where i believe, as i have been saying, that lula will prevail maybe by 2 percentage points or 3 percentage points difference. when all falters votes are counted. i don't believe that there will be recalls that we did the, the lecture system does not support that idea, but the country will leave the selection, divide that we divide that goldman,
1:27 am
the parliament will be controlled by forces sim. but so closer to abortion, ardo, the executive will be in the hands of the lula as a lead there of a vast coalition. if lunar is competent to manage that coalition, i think earth things will go or cut will calm down. i think, well, you raise o'hara it very interesting point you make about congress because of course, if lula were to be the victor in this election, it would be a remarkable come back for a man who served nearly 2 years in prison on, on croft convictions. that were eventually annulled, but it's really the come back. he's been waiting for none the less. will he end up being a lame duck president that is unable to implement his agenda because he won't have
1:28 am
control of congress. well, you will raise a very important point. he has already announced that he or he announced some time ago he would run for one term. he would not seek reelection. well, let's see. but again, it's one more difficulty for ah, you know, managing an economy that is, has been compromised the viability. the vitality of the brazilian economy has been compromised by measure staking starting with deal more ru seth lulu successor at dan by tamar. ah, transition president. that was the vice president of do more research from the workers party and then by bull san ardo that really, really destroyed a lot of assets in brazil. an absolutely devastated the political capital that brazil had in terms of its environmental assets. so
1:29 am
it's a very complicated scenario. i believe that we need to calm down here. we have a great capacity for negotiations in brazil, but this group that sort of prevailed in the parliamentary a in the parliamentary election, is, has being radicalized in a way that's very dangerous. remember both. so nato had never had a single firm commitment to democracy. lula has come from the poor, has believed in the system. back on the system was successful as president, and then things went sour. but, ah, it will be in did an uphill battle for president lula. m for leaders off the brazilian congress or to govern or all bullet chat
1:30 am
a bit because actually we are guessing the results being counted very quickly. so be good to get your analysis set when we get the final result. impala deter from the brazilians shoots the wilson center there in washington, but to almost 96 percent voting machines now counted in this ronald vote and with 96 percent already countered. so with nearly at the end of the vote, counting louise in our seo to lead to silver in the lead with 50.7 percent shareable. sound 49.2. so it is still incredibly close. that was an expectation. this was going to be a very close election, a very tight race. but it is it interesting that there is no sign of lula being able to widen his lead on bull scenario mat, been fears about possible instability fears of political violence. although we will have to see what the reaction will be when the final result.
