a bitterly fought campaign. defeated incumbent jerbill scenario declined to make a concession speech with supporters in disbelief. ah, you're a wanting i'll to 0 life from a headquarters and del hind daddy navigator. also coming up. south korea seeks answers as to what caused the crowd crushed during halloween festivities, killing a 153 people. and at least a $132.00 people have been killed in india after a foot bridge collapses. days after reopened following refurbishments. ah, hello brazil's new president elect, louisa nazi lula. da silva has promised to unite the country after completing us stunning political. come back, he won a tightly contested runoff election against incumbent j. you're both narrow by just

over one percent of the votes. her results were extremely close with no clear winner up until night. near 99 percent of all votes were accounted lula will be taking the reins of a deeply divided nation. keep those shape if we would do. she wrote a google, i always said that god was really generous with me. so i could reach where i am. we faced the machinery of the brazilian state press service of a candidate to avoid us winning the elections. thanks to the brazilian people that i should be grateful with my heart to the people who ordered for me and to the people who own it for my advisory or a latin america editor, luciana. then as following lula in sal paolo, 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,

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 brazilians war going hungry. even though brazil is a food basket, it is a producer of a, 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 until new law 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's still is that current president died ball. so nato was becoming more and more authoritarian and not respecting brazil's democratic institutions. meanwhile, supporters of incumbent bull scenario have expressed this belief and disappointment . at the result, the right wing leader has not yet made a speech, conceding the election. but brazilian state media is reporting to both the president of congress and the president of the senate have acknowledged rulers victory. and both are political allies of julia are both so narrow to raise a bo has more from outside the presidential residence in brazil. ya. it's also unlikely that he will call the elected president no longer feel well that he will concede to fade. so this only adds up to the tension that this country has been in for the past weeks since the 1st round table tonight has been questioning this country's electronic voting system for 8 weeks. he has question the electro trivial

question. the supreme court, you have even asked the military to carry out the counting process. so certainly there's been lots of tension, lots of faith in the country. so we were surrounded bible financial supporters. many of them were crying desperate because of the carried result. there was a service and evan jelly conservative people praying on the ground saying that this country's flag won't be turned read. those are the colors of the workers party, saying that i should be in prison and not sitting on the presidential feed. there's also some reports and several cities across the country where there's some road blocks where protesters apparently these are small protest for now. we're protesters are 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 are both. so that was reported were telling us that they were hoping that the president will be meeting with the military. and i know for, for something such as

a cool could take place. this is very, very unlikely at this point, monica on a campus in rio de janeiro and has more on the transition of power in normal circumstances. ah. next tuesday lula would start a transition, a cabinet. he would name people that would start negotiating with both scenarios, 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. nelson franco beam is a professor at hillier, alonzo university, specializing in international politics. he says,

ball scenario has little choice but to accept the results. the president of the, the 2 houses of congress have her, recognised the victory of lula. and especially the leader of the house who is the, is the strong bonaza quarter. he didn't so foot true more than $100.00 them 30 impeachment her requests against blue sonata. so his, his great ally of present also nod and sobel sonata won't have any support for them at them not to recognize the result of the elections bird ticket. he may create problems to transition period, but a leader and, and the president of the senate gave with the clear a impression that suitable so now won't have many allies to try to not

accept the results. so brazil institutions proved to be strong enough to resist for 4 years of both. and i do right doing far right. doing government and i'm sure they will manage this transition. the death toll has risen after a suspension bridge collapse in india, at least 132 people have been killed in the disaster in the city of more be in good, your rock, say official say hundreds of people fell into the river below when cable supporting the pedestrian bridge snapped the 230 meters bandwidth states from british rule. and the 900 century had been closed for renovation, and only reopened to the public last week. by his language is a senior assistant editor at the hindu newspaper. he says when the bridge reopens officer renovation, it did not have a safety certificate from the government sites the, you know, shopping,

the weird thing so much that the collect, you know, at 1st was given to operate the breeze and frankly engaged one and as a private company for innovation and bidding be home, municipal official saying that the pain, the pick, man, you know, certificate to pick, know that because of the breed before reopening it. and then therefore the state government has come to the circumstances that led to the, to the city. bye, bye bye. all of own. it appears that it's my 2 men made 50 certificate to obtain before and that is why the government as the committee but you know it's, it's very shopping that the private handling a very,

very sensitive breeze, you know, and then reopening without the when the informing the goldman authorities, south koreans are paying tribute to the victims of a crowd crush that killed at least $154.00 people during halloween festivities on saturday. people gathered and sold it all on neighborhood where the accident occurred to lay flowers and expressed their condolences. businesses in the district known for its night life have been shocked. rob mcbride has more from so been getting a briefing monday morning from the government on ways that he will deal with the aftermath of this tragedy. it includes things like the declaring of the area around details where the tragedy happened as a disaster zone. that way, it would then be entitled to various support schemes. there's been the announcement of financial support for funeral arrangements. there will be many funerals in the coming days, also for the payment of medical bills. we still have scores of people in hospital,

but at the same briefing with some very tough questions being asked. and that will be further questions about this, about the level of policing on saturday night when this tragedy happened. which does it with the value of hindsight to a certain degree seem locally inadequate. according to the many of the people who would that we would simply turned into the scenes of chaos as part of the morning process that we're going to have for the coming week. we're having the setting up of these memorial alters in cities across south korea. this one is outside of city hall at there is another alter across in each one near the scene of the tragedy. there is, i think, a sense of disbelief, almost numbness from people here in south korea. it's a country that, you know, he's renowned for self control. following the rules, and we saw that during the pandemic that people weren't allowed to meet up. so they didn't, people had to wear masks, and everyone wore a mask. and when people were allowed to gather again for things like k, pop concerts, offer protest rallies in march is then it's all very well organized,

very well policed and very well marshalled. there are lots of questions being asked about how this was allowed to happen. we know from president unit, so y'all who has been down to this altar, that things will be different in the future. that all that the, the staging the crowd control measures the big events in the future will be, will be looked at very strongly indeed. but it, as many people here will tell you, have sadly taken this tragedy for that to happen. still a heads on al jazeera, we report from the front lines in eastern ukraine where russian forces are trying to capture a strategic town. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with sponsored my cattle aways,

political allies of j your ball scenario. so lula will lead latin america's biggest economy over the next 4 years. our latin america editor, lucille newman visited his whole village and the lead up to the pole. she reports on per dumbo co, one of the countries 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, reecy nashville, lulu garcia, i was born, or at least an exact replica, the home of donnelly, and do louis mother. she 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 regresses, georgia. and i think sick want by the prosecutors had a slice. it's important to reconstruct the story for future generations so that they can assimilate louis story and realize that they too can fight for collect of justice in these times of individualism, disabilities. this was the bedroom with

a family of 10 slept, and this suitcase was used as a closet until lula. the 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, mizzi or mile will of gum, 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 booming prices for brazilian commodities, brazil's economy sort yes, 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 imprisoned? he will return to power and keep stealing his 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, an older and perhaps more cautious lula has returned, promising to bring back better days, especially for the poor. to see a newman al jazeera guy, this petnum who called brazil. russia is stepping up efforts to capture the eastern ukrainians. 100 bar moved. it sits on a main road leading to the ukrainian held cities of slow yonce gun krom, a tourist, as, as had beg reports, if backward falls that could bring other key areas within range of rush and artillery. on the front lines near back, moat is a constant sound of shelves flying overhead. we go. trenches and bunkers are the only cover out here where ukrainian soldiers wait for their recognizance drawn teams to send them details of russian troops. but whenever they fire in russian troops by a back with it as we wait inside until there is

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. now they call him the electrician for, ah, not a twin us. and gem 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 since this life is simple on the front line. no mattress is here. this wood and a blanket. malloy and this is our small move, 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's on duty, someone's resting will for 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 purchase 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, the racial moral to the quote 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 here say the scene intense fighting as russian forces tries to break through the ukrainian front lines. the soldier spots of movement. no

measure, look if miss pool. formerly max points out to us that our flak jackets are useless here. go through here. yeah. it is. 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. the united nations turkey and ukraine have agreed on a plan to help move 14 ships transporting rain in turkish waters. ukraine says a total of $218.00 vessels are effectively bluffed following russia decision to pull out if a un brokered grain deal western governments or urging moscow to reverse the move, saying it undermines efforts to ease the global food crisis. harry false, that has more from the ukrainian capital to kia, is saying that it is in talks with the russians and saying that there is some cause

for optimism in those talks as well as that we've been hearing from the un secretary general antonio garish. saying that he has delayed his departure for the arab league summit in algiers by a day in order to continue his efforts to try to get this deal back up and running, saying he will engage to try to restore the food and fertilize it exports from ukraine. but also to try to remove the remaining obstacles to such exports coming out of russia. and that has been a demand for some time and a concern for some time expressed by russia. so, indication that he is trying to, to coax russia back to the table over this ukraine for its part saying that it has a ship in port full of grain dustin's. if the opiate is unable to get out because of this, a decision by rush saturday or to pull out rush or also giving more details or around its claims of what took place at the port us of asked to pope early in the morning on saturday in crimea saying that it has found the wreckage of one of the

alleged ukrainian drones, a seaborne, drones used in the attack saying that it had canadian, a guidance systems within it. that the drones came along the sea, alongside the are the corridors, the safe zone for grain shipping. and that one of them may well have been launched from inside that zone or speculation from russia that it might have come from a civilian ship. no response to any of that from the ukrainian side, or they are simply saying that russia is using this attack as a pretext to get out of a deal that it was unhappy with lebanon's presidents, michelle, on left, his official residence on sunday. his mandate will end at midnight on monday. the 89 year old leaders tenure has seen a financial meltdown and the bay route for an explosion. parliament has so far been unable to agree on a successor. ali hash m reports in the city of baghdad on the departing president's legacy. ah,

they were 6 critical years that saw lebanon nearly descend into a failed 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 the ruling establishment of luxury merely. it was like a piano, 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 down when the little teddy. just like the last 2 president, parliament has not approved the replacement for plunging the country once again into crisis and creating a power vacuum own said he's also approving the government resignation. i think we're very familiar with this. these vacuums. this is not the 1st time as you know

that we face such as are more of the tradition now 11 are nevertheless, i think this is representative of the inability of the cut and lebanese constitution. it's inability to function properly. the president left surrounded by his supporters who came to accompany him on his strip from the presidential palace to a new residence. this is our 2nd departure from the president since the 3rd, so i am leaving defeated. i live in the civil war, came to an end in 1990. now, he leaves behind a bitter legacy that many of beneath remember his presidency for some analysts believe that challenges facing lebanon began long before i came to office on federal, should be thought of as part of the continuum. what we have currently living in lebanon is, is they continue with the off at the top that has been,

i'm babbling for the past. not just 10 years, or 11 years. someone even extend it can continue until the 1900 ninety's who's a christian came to power in 2016 endorse questions. the law and the political deal that brought back cindy politician sat, how did he prime minister mentally beneath will likely remember the own era as a time of great difficulties. the biggest one being the 2020 b with port explosion that killed hundreds that investigation into the cause went nowhere with various political factions. exert impress 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 the total financial collapse and people are unable to withdraw their money. lebanon will now await the election up a new president in the coming weeks. but it's not only about political factions at

green going to candidate. it's also about regional players facilitating and supporting such a move. for now, despite all the troubles, many lebanese will hope to see a more stable future. and then ed to that troubles ashley merger 0. bob leben on the us midterm elections are just over a week away. and immigration is a key issue, shaping the ballot. many refugees on migrants are worried about how the outcome will affect their future. kristen salumi reports from new york. the number of arrest that the u. s. southern border has never been hire the us border patrol, recorded 2400000 migrant encounters in the last fiscal year, pedro was one of them. he says he crossed or 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 weight near the border to be process. but recently, governors from republican lead 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 of the border. we're working to make sure

it's safe and orderly and your name. 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 deporting and did ministration came into office. something like 30000 people have been supported to haiti at a time where the country is going to very extraordinary challenges. migrant advocates say the us 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 able to come in. as for those already in the country, like pedro, they have one year to apply for asylum in the current political climate. he worries his future here is anything but certain. kristen salumi al jazeera new york.
