all centers the world of footballing legend, prag, pushy h, who went from coaching boys, football to teaching young men lot. frederick push each of the siege of sarajevo on al jazeera. the latest news as it breaks. for many, this is a referendum on your bike and for 2 years in the white house and of the poles to be believe it won't be good news of the democrat. we detailed coverage, hawaii, there's the flood that level time it's receiving, but that's not the only concern here from around the world. but the situation is fall from stable in this region. and ukrainian military forces are saying that they are dealing with a potential renewed, russian evolves ah, a historic election and a historic when luis and osceola da silva is declared winner of brazil's

presidential runoff. he's best it incumbent j. horrible scenario marking a sharp turn around the country after 4 years of bar. right. politics. ah, i'm several that needs to have you with us. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up today. south korea seeks answers as to what caused the proud crush during halloween festivities, killing a 153 people. and at least 81 people have been killed in india after foot bridge collapses, days after it reopened, following refurbishments. so for a brazilian president, louise industrially, the silver has promised to unite the country. after completing a historic political come back, he won a tightly contested run off election against incumbent j. your ball scenario by just over one percent of the vote.

well the results were extremely close in the end with no clear winner up until nearly 99 percent of all votes had been counted new that will be taking the reins of a deeply divided nation. they knew who you go to visit to. there's only one big winner, the people does neither my nor our party. victory is victory of an immense democratic movement. that's beyond political parties or ideologies. the majority of the people want more democracy. they want more social inclusion. they want more respect and understanding between people. they want more freedom and equality. meanwhile, supporters of incumbent president, both scenarios have been left in near disbelief. the right wing leader has not yet made a speech, conceding the election, but brazilian, the state media is reporting the both the president of congress and the president of the senate have acknowledged rulers victory. and crucially,

they are both political allies of the year. both scenario, we are live across brazil on this in a moment. we'll be hearing from teresa bow, who is in brazil. ya. where's valuable scenario has been expected to speak has not done so yet. monica janik, if he's on kopec, about a beach in rio de janeiro 1st bill. let's speak to latin america editor lucy newman . she's at lou. that is silver's headquarters in. so follow the see a little call this a resurrection. that was his word. what does this mean for his supporters who've been with him through thick and thin for years? ah, well, he certainly has had supporters. i have been with him and with the workers party the p t for many, many years and who have been dreaming of this moment. just out a little while ago, he left the headquarters where we are right now and moved a couple of blocks away to police. the avenue where there is an enormous celebration underway at this hour. there are people there. tens of thousands of them are waiting for lula to speak again to them. he's being received as

a conquering hero, but as you very well said, he did not win by a huge amount. so people who have been with him for thick and thin as you say, have wanted this country to return to the policies that he enshrined when he was president, 2 times in a row. in fact, excuse me. which had to do with bit better social justice, more rights for the minorities of guarantees of food for everyone in this country. they are now $33000000.00 brazilians who are going hungry to even though brazil is a food basket. it is a she producer of a large percentage of the food that there is in the world right now. and so those sorts of policies that made him so popular, especially amongst the poor and even the middle class, people who were once poor but who were able to climb to the middle class and their children were allowed to go to university because of his programs. they want that back again, including blacks who went to lula, came to the presidency,

often were not allowed more than often, usually were not able to get into public universities. but he had a system of affirmative action that allowed blacks and other minorities to go to university. that has changed the face of brazil in the long term. but then there are other people who are more than going back to the past. they just want to guarantee that brazil stays on track in terms of being a democracy. and there was a lot of concern. and there still is that current president enjoyed both. so nato was becoming more and more authoritarian and not expecting brazil's democratic institutions while the see a newman and sell. paolo, thank you very much. we were just seeing the live pictures of the celebrations where you are. let's go to teresa bo, she's at the electoral tribunal in brazilian theresa, i think we need to remind our viewers how very unusual and strange this all is. because lula is given a victory speech. he's been congratulated by foreign leaders. his supporters are celebrating, but also nora has not conceded defeat, or at least not publicly what's going on. while it is

very unusual. in fact, i am right now in front of the presidential residents. this is the faith. where's aid was fernando is right now, most of the lights of the residents have been turned off. we're not able to see much from inside and he, that's a likely that he will be speaking any time soon at the, at least, that's what we're being told right here. it's also unlikely that he will call elected president lula fillable, that he will concede if it. so this only adds up to the attention that this country has been in for the past weeks since the 1st round of today. well, tonight has been questioning this country's electronic voting system for 8 weeks. he has question, the lecturer trivial question. the supreme court have even asked the military took, carry out the counting process. so certainly there's been lots of tension, lots of le station in the country. and you know, just her until a few an hour ago or so. we were surrounded bible for now to supporters. many of

them were crying desperately because of the carrot result. there was a service, an evan jelly coll, service people, praying on the ground saying that this country's flag won't be turned red. those are the colors of the workers party, saying that ruler seat of i should be in prison and not a sitting on the presidential seat. there's also a, some report in several there fit is across the country where there's some road blocks where protesters apparently these are small protests for now. we're protesters there is asking for the military to take over. in fact, some of the people we spoke to in the gathering, we were at right in front of the congress, this our board. so now the supporters were telling us that they were hoping that the president will be meeting with the military or, and i now for, for something such as are cool, go take place. this is a very, very unlikely. at this point, we have heard up the walls. what i do, you know, would have to have the support to carry out something like this. here we have heard already from the president of the senate from the president of congress. both of

them acknowledging the victory are for elected president lula. see that we had also heard from the lecturer trevino saying that this was in a way, an election that was carry out without major inconveniencies. and that up there that could be the press, the director of the electro tribune. i was hoping that the loser, or though the of jacob, also nato, would help unite this country. so sadly, lots of uncertainty. and while we see people from the workers party celebrating in san bow, low and other parts of the country, but elected president lula senior speech, while the president remained here, are leaving this country, you know, with the knots of uncertainty about what he's planning to do next. that's when most of the people we have spoken to, you know, they're wondering what's gonna happen next. it bills reminding our viewers that at this hour's able scenario is still president of brazil until we officially get a reaction from him or from his camp is an important part of this story that is still missing. theresa bowen for the presidential palace. thank you very much. a

monica yanna give his live now in rio de janeiro, monica, what the lula 2 point. oh look like. well i of do, as my colleague did is simple was saying about the uncertainty. what we would know basically what the new government would look like starting on tuesday because in normal circumstances, ah, next tuesday lula would start a transition, a cabinet. he would name people that would all start negotiating with bull sonatas . government for the next until his government is over in december, the 31st and they would be negotiating at the showing the ropes. what happened? the statistics, how the economy is faring. but if there had, if there is no dialogue, that is a problem for the transition, because then he would start a new government with no clue of what's going on of what the real numbers are of

what he can really do with the budget. now what lula has already pledged is to have a ministry for the indigenous people and i, he has already pledged also to go back to the amazon a policy that he had to reduce deforestation which reached its peak with bowl. so nato avo, coronado keeps saying that lula cut down more trees than he did, and that is not the case. what happened is when, when lula 1st took office, there was a lot of deforestation going on and he brought it down and both sonata brought it back up again. so those are, are some of the issues that will be treated in his next government. absolutely. all right, monica yanna give in rio de janeiro, but i do understand the original point that you're making just so a big question mark hanging over all of this and how the transition will happen. thanks for keeping us honest on that. thank you very much. still ahead on al

jazeera, a staying in brazil or alive coverage of the historic election results will continue after the break. we go and we'll be reporting from the front lines in easton ukraine, where russian forces are trying to capture a strategic tab. ah, anticipation is rising and so is the atmosphere a you read the wet spots of my cattle a ways. hello the weather, sloshy fine. a dry cross charter at the moment but to the north and to the south. we have got some which weather in the forecast and it will be rather intense at times, dental disturbance up towards the far north. here i will push its way a little further eastward snow on the northern flank of that some heavier range is

coming in, easing across sir, north korea, pushing towards japan. what a to shouting to that is decided to pass. nothing too much to speak or follow that line of where to where the down into the southeast of china and here we have tropical storm. now gay, it is sir regenerating. now it has pushed out into the open waters of the south china sea and it'll push very close to that southeast and corner of for china as we go through the next day or so. there you go. you can see how it has made its way across the philippines, pushing out into the open waters and re strengthening, crashing, making his way. little further north was the monsoon trough here at the ball that heavy right to southern parts of the philippines. as flick a little further northwards and it will continue to do so as we go through the next day or so. let's just push up into the south china sea and this is what we expect now, gay to do. over the next couple of days, monday starts to take a right turn. each is up towards hong kong as we go on through tuesday, and eventually throw some very heavy rain with the risk of flooding in the southern pass of china. to with sponsored by a cat on

a ways that bridges she rocky journalist who's visualizing complex statistics in a simple art form. i think some of those are some really exciting opportunities to break apart from those systems our and to collect data in a way that makes a represent different community challenging mainstream misconceptions. hope that by craig, from handheld integration, does a unique people. it doesn't make people feel like i'm not mind. understands whose truth is it. anyway, on al jazeera, ah ah, the washing meals are 0 or mine of are headlines this our former president and left

his leader lula to silver been declared the winner of a knife edge presidential run off election with over 99 percent of ballad counted. he has taken 50.9 percent of the vote. incumbent desirable scenario took 49 point one percent. supporters of move to silver or in the streets celebrating an extraordinary come back for the man who previously served 2 terms as president. he also served time in prison for corruption, but was released after the supreme federal court of brazil ruled the judge wasn't impartial. meanwhile, supporters of incumbents, paulson aro, have been left in near disbelief. the right wing leader has not yet made a speech, conceding the election. brazilian state media is, however, reporting that the president of congress and the president of the senates have both acknowledged, luna's victory and crucially, they are both political allies of shay, europe, wilson. so lula will lead at latin america's biggest economy over the next 4 years. our latin america editor, lucy newman,

visited his home village and to lead up to this pole. she reports from barnum book, o, one of the country's poorest regions, a remote dirt road in northeastern brazil, the country's poorest region. this is where it, aldo santos takes us to see where his cousin release enough to lead that seat by was born or at least an exact replica. the home of donnelly. and do you this mother? he is original fell down years ago. this was the typical house of subsistence farmers made of my didn't cook in a tree sticks with no running water or electricity as fish, georgia, and i think sick won't die, the prosecutors had left voice. it's important to reconstruct this story for future generations so that they can assimilate louis story and realize that they too can fight for collective justice in these times of individualism is, this was the bedroom with a family of 10 slept, and this suitcase was used as a closet until lula mother who was illiterate,

decided to take all of her children to sao paolo never dreaming who one of her youngest sons would eventually become. newly began working at the age of 14 and went on to become a formidable trade union leader and founder of the workers, pardon, or p t. he had little formal education, but an abundance of charismatic and negotiating skills. in 2003 lula became brazil's 1st working class president, he introduced sweeping social reforms to combat poverty. and if the station of working class brazilians from providing education ruler to fresh water access for people like palo gomez, missy, or my lula come, i began to love lula long ago, like a father hero. because honestly, he embraces the cause of the poor. emotional, massive housing projects also helped lift 33000000 people from poverty during his 2 terms. which coincided with the boom and prices for brazilian commodities,

brazil's economy sort, where there were, if all was not well, nagging charges of corruption had long surrounded him and his political party. a multi 1000000000 dollar graph scandal exploded after he left office in 2010. just as the economy began, regressing ha, millions of brazilians turned on lula, demanding. he go to jail. now, what would happen if lula is not in prison? he will return to power and keep stealing is the ringleader of them all. he was convicted and imprisoned on charges of money laundering and corruption which he denied, but was released 18 months later when the supreme court ruled that all of louis convictions be an old because of suspect procedural practices. now, 12 years after he left office with more than 80 percent approval ratings in older and perhaps more cautious lula has returned, promising to bring back better days,

especially for the poor. you see in human al jazeera guy, this petnum who called brazil. let's bring in nelson franco, shall be me. he's a professor at helio alonzo university, specializing in international politics, and he joins us from rio de janeiro. so there's been no official reaction from the man who is still president, as we speak. j, your boston aro, should that concern? brazilian? well, well says so i heard your report, the president of the, the 2 houses of congress have her, recognised the victory of florida, and especially the leader of the house. there is a, is a strong also not a supporter. he didn't serve foot true more than one handed them 30 impeachment her requests against both sonata. so his,

his great ally of them both so mad and so. so now i won't have any support for them at them to not recognize the result of the elections bird thinking he may create problems of that than this should be ridge. i think that monica yanna can talk about that. i well we're to wait to see what they are going to say, but need they're both. so not are not his sense. who the tree old, the oldest sons are for the additions. have not said anything about the results about so waiting for both and yes, sorry about the statements coming from the presidents of congress and presidents of the senate, acknowledging new the victory, you expect that they are acting in concert with boston road. you expect that they're actually trying to maybe narrow his options i think they're trying to

narrow him. so his options then out to be the president of the house called lula and congratulate the look for the victory. of course there will be elections for the, the leader of the house at the beginning of the next year. then probably a leader wants to, to keep the jobs. so his trying to negotiate the rule and in a he, he is a member of the so called a sam don't. it's which means big center, which in reality is the center right for the shows who don't have stronger their logical positions, but tried to jockey for position tried to get some federal funds and jobs for the for allies. so this is the kind of for for dep which is who are going to need, what shape it rule, and probably the surety i would say will support newly as administration. of course

there is a larger group of back benchers elected on the board. so now to based on the ball. so now do i did, who will be against lula, particularly the angelic or christians and the, the end, the big for the representative of the big farmers. but linda and, and the president of the standards gave the clear impression that both so now won't have many lies to try to not accept the results. so brazilian ship dishes proved to be strong enough to resist for 4 years of both sonata right drink far right thing, government. and i'm sure they will manage this transition. yeah, of course, most of them is going to to, to be a strong political force. the main position force,

but brazil will go one and and they're not. the other problem is the economic situation is very beds. when ruler was elected with 1000 been to the, from the reforms of books. the know that he got. those are just ration and china was growing more than 10 percent the year and became the largest trading partner of brazil. so i'm going to add a job in blue. ok, all right, thank you. thank you so much. you've been with us since the beginning of the evening, and certainly there are many other areas of this conversation that we'll have to explore, but we'll have time for that going forward. nelson franco, should be me. thank you so much. thank you. at the other news now, south koreans of paying tribute to the victims of a crowd crushed and killed at least a $154.00 people. during halloween festivities on saturday, people gathered in so that if they one neighbourhood where the accident occurred to

lay flowers and express their condolences. businesses in the district known for its night life have been shut. let's speak now to rob mcbride, who has been so rob, i know you were waiting a more information from authorities insole on this tragedy. have you learned anything at this hour? that's right. as we begin this a week long period of morning, the government here has just been giving a briefing about the various measures it's putting in place to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy. they include making the area around e tay, one, declaring it as a disaster zone. this would then entitled it to various, her schemes for assistance there in that neighbourhood. also, they have announced plans for the payments of the helping out with the financial payments of their funeral expenses. there are going to be many funerals we know in the coming days, also other measures to help with the continuing medical costs for the people who remain injured, who are being treated in hospital also as part of the morning period act in cities

and that there weren't at good to crowd control measures in place to prevent this tragedy. rob mcbride and so thank you very much. the death toll has claimed in a suspension bridge collapse in india, at least 81 people have been killed in the disaster in the city of more be in good direct state shall say. hundreds of people fell into the river below, and tables supporting the pedestrian bridge snapped. and 230 meter colonial era bridge had been closed renovation and only reopened to the public last week. russia stepping up efforts to capture the eastern ukrainian town of the mode, it sits on the main road leading to the cranium held cities of soviet can cremmit tours as acid bag reports. if that would falls, it could bring other key areas within range of rushing artillery on the front lines near by, the constant sound of shelves flying overhead,

gulf trenches and bunkers are the only cover ukrainian soldiers rate for their recognizance strong team to send them details of russian troops. but whenever they fire russian troops by a back, b wait inside until the lulling 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 appliances and before rush of invasion, now they called him the electrician in for it. didn't us and them is about 1800 meters of open space. and when someone appears, it is very noticeable. there was a diamond russians fired mortars, machine guns, and doses snipers. sure, the answered them. it. oh lest it not more than an hour since this life is simple on the front line. no mattress is here. this wood and a blanket. most annoying, this is our small, been almost family home, down 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 on duty, someone's resting with his, my colleague resting now. ukrainian troops faced both russian soldiers and troops from the self declared don x people's republic, or dpr with touches the bug picking them up muscle. one of their tact is hard using a lot of men to push forward and aggressive in they see the use of the asian and artillery when they recorded the russians massively struck on exact location. and the d p r y randomly. it doesn't matter where they hit the bill. he's been fighting on the front line since 2014, when separatists took control of parts of eastern ukraine. we need more weapons. i mean, more western weapons is not only guns, but also high precision and high caliber weapons. we get the russians a good punch, but we will like more western weapons to racial morale, to look over. i see you in for, in, if you were told in the last few days, the russians have been trying to push forward in some places along this front line

. the russians are less than 2 kilometers away. the men hearsay, the scene intense fighting as russian forces tried to break through the ukrainian front lines. oh, the soldier spots of movement. no measure. look if me poor, formerly max points out to us that our flak jackets are useless here. go through here. it is, it, is it. but on the back of frontier they don't think about doin or they want to do is hold the line and make sure the country doesn't fall over it. i said beg, i'll da 0, eastern ukraine. and the u. s. mid term elections are just over a week away, and immigration is a key issue, shaping the ballot as voters true between democrats and republicans. kristen salumi reports on this from new york. the number of arrest that the u. s. southern border has never been hire us border patrol, recorded 2400000 migrant encounters in the last fiscal year,

pedro was one of them. he says he crossed through 7 countries to get from venezuela to the united states. the main reason why i had to vote is because i was a care, pedro was among 150000 venezuela allowed to remain in the country to file for asylum. most of those asylum seekers wait near the border to be processed. but recently, governors from republican, my border states have been putting migrants like him on buses and sending them to democratic lead city in protest of federal immigration policies. with a record number of migrants pressing into the united states and arriving in cities like new york by the bus load. the government has promised to allow 24000 venezuelans to remain in the country and work on humanitarian grounds. but they have to apply before they get here. and thanks to a deal with mexico, those who enter the country illegally going forward will be deported without

a chance to file for asylum under a law enacted during the pandemic president joe biden has blamed the latest increase in border crossings on a handful of autocratic countries. including venezuela, we have a process in place to manage margaret to the border. we're working to make sure it's safe and orderly. and your main republican officials should not interfere with that process by waging a politic these political stance. but it's not just been as well and be in the port in didn't ministration came into office. something like 30000 people have been supported to haiti at a time where the country is going to be very extraordinary challenges migrant advocate. say the u. s. policy is inhumane, is using trump error policies to pretty much shut down our border and are really horrific way where you're stopping people who desperately need support from being.
