10:02 am
ah ah, louis in our seo lulu da silva has pulled off a political come back in brazil. his won a tightly contested presidential run off election against far right incumbent jaya nathan ira ah. new to one just over 59 percent of the vote. that's just a one percent difference from his rival and the tightest election, almost 40 years. and the 1st time a fitting president has not been reelected with the most essential task is to ensure that every child, every woman, every man can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. every day, we're going to bring back the ministry of culture. we're going to create a public commission, so that culture can become something that everyone has access to. so that culture can become an industry that produces jobs. those who are afraid of culture,
10:03 am
of those who don't like the people who don't like freedom. a lot of america at a salisia, newman is following eula in south halla. 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 and 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, 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,
10:04 am
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 tried both. so nato was becoming more and more authoritarian and not respecting brazil's democratic institutions. for meanwhile, supporters of incumbent, both for nora have expressed disbelief and disappointment. with the result, the far right wing leader has not yet made a speech, conceding the election. but brazilian state media reporting the leaders of the congress and the senate have acknowledged to this victory. both are political allies of valuable tonight on teresa bo has worn out from outside the presidential
10:05 am
residents in brazil. 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 tonight of supporters. many of them were crying desperate because of the cabinet 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 who should be in prison and not sitting on the presidential feed. there's also some report in several cities across the country where there is some
10:06 am
roadblocks where protesters apparently these are small protest for now where 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 ever. and i know for, for something such as a cool could take place. this is very, very unlikely at this point. well, let's bring in christopher sabatini. he's a senior fellow for latin america. think tank trust him house. he's in london and joins us now. christ, if i want to start with theresa left off there with think congratulations, role in for lula. well need is, but i imagine in the international community there is concern about a possible dispute from both scenario, especially given the level of division and brazil certainly. and as, as you report mentioned, bell center is not conceded yet. so it's, it's kind of a tense night right now in brazil. but what's happened interestingly is the interest community has rushed to,
10:07 am
to recognize little as victory present bind called it regulate him. so did president micron france? so there's an attempt to sort of insulate if you will, a louis victory from any attempts by the bull scenario pro base if you well sir himself to derail it. but let's see what happens. as you mentioned, there are, some protests are mostly from farmers of the highways blocking highways. and there's always been this lingering fear that protest could spread in a few states, especially where boston are, has strong support among the state military police there the could spread, but we'll have to see, i think everyone is on tenterhooks right now. i'm waiting to see what boston our himself does, but for now at least all of the international community and much of the political community within brazil. and lisa leadership is accepting the result of a to settle up the regional broadly. it does feel like there's been a swing towards the left and last and actually on terrace, columbia. and now brazil, all justice. yet do you think it is? when goes beyond that lose? when is different? uh, 1st of all its obviously very much a victory against a populous nationalist,
10:08 am
really anti progressive candidate. and that is really a sort of a different strain on whereas in the cases of chile and the cases of columbia had to do with decay of full party systems. rejection, if you will, of more conservative. i'm but more traditionally conservative market based economies in brazil it's different and, and here in this case took was. ready louis you've mentioned is a known brand he govern. in fact, he's elected 20 years ago almost to the day. and in this case, people going for something that was safe. he was a leftist when he was originally elected and sworn in 2003, but govern very much in the center was very pro market, very pro social democratic in that sense. but now we'll have to see got a much broader coalition and he, for many people who voted for him, including a former president and owner, he cut those on his economists. they saw this is the choice between democracy and a voting for autocracy. so they support him as a democrat, they didn't,
10:09 am
as many people didn't support lula for his left, it's use a so i recall barack obama once coordinator had the most popular politician in the wild. he left office with what an 80 percent domestic approval raising. i see a lot has happened since then, including his conviction. how is he viewed now on the international stage? latasha, right. first of all, hola is incredibly charismatic. he's got a great, a back story. he really was emblematic of a moment of hope about social mobility within, within brazil, he only has a 5th grade education years sheet metal worker. um, but you know, right now i think a lot of people seem as damaged goods of his about a 40 percent true disapproval rating. a popularly many people on still associate him with the, the lavish author carwash scandal that sneered about. huh. well, the dozens of people, including bird people that were very close to lulu on a $2000000000.00 kickback scheme between state oil companies and the infrastructure company that also implicated him in a, in a scheme of, of giving him
10:10 am
a apartment by one of the infrastructures companies and repairing it, so he spent a year and a half in prison. this cloud of corruption hangs over his ears. government as well as the, the recession that came shortly after he stepped down and was the country's governed by his hand pick successor gyla recess. so he lives, his supporters very, very soft. are there are true diehard lula supported with their many who just simply cast their vote because he was a lesser of 2 evils. holla, see how things pan out in the coming days and weeks. christopher sabatini there a senior fellow for last america at jackson house. thanks so much for sharing your expertise for that for now to sierra christopher maximization i'm leaving on and the death toll from a bridge collapse in india has arisen now to at least a 132 military teams are searching for victims from the western state of could europe, official say hundreds of people fell into the river when the cable supporting pedestrians which snapped more. it had been closed for renovation and only be open to the public. last, when the boat gets would be easy but to little good. many children were enjoying

10:19 am
aftermath of this tragedy. it includes things like the declaring of the area around details where they tragedy happened as a disaster zone. that way, it would then be entitled to various support schemes. that's been the announcement of financial support for funeral arrangements that 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 are having the setting up of these memorial alters in cities across south korea. this one is outside of city, whole at there is another alter across in each one near the scene of the tragedy. there is, i think, a sense of disbelief,
10:20 am
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 when people were allowed to gather again for things like k, pump concerts, offer protest rallies and marches. then it's all very well organized, very well policed and very well marshal. so lots of questions being asked about how this was allowed to happen. we know from president you took 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. almost a 100 people have been confirmed dead off the tropical storm now, gay hit the philippines on friday and that death toll is expected to rise. dozens

10:22 am
a heavy mainly like the biggest financial crime committed in the world. using your own money. we could cut the losses by using capital controls to prevent money, monthly, something that still hasn't happened and why they're challenging us. is it because they're going to be prosecution. where little terry, 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 vacuum. 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 revenue constitution . it's inability to function properly. the president left, surrounded by his supportive, who came to accompany him on his strict from the presidential palace to
10:23 am
a new residence. this is our 2nd departure from the presidential since we saw him leaving defeated, i've been given a civil war, came to an end in 1990. now, he leaves behind the 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 a, continue with the off a path that has been unraveling for the past. not just 10 years or 11 years, somewhat even extend. it can continue until the 1990 s who's a christian came to power in 2016 endorse questions. the law in a political deal that brought back soon the politician sat. how did he as prime
10:24 am
minister mentally beneath will likely remember the own era as a time of great difficulties? the biggest one being the 2020 b port explosion that killed hundreds, the investigation into the cause went nowhere with various political factions. exert impress here 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 that 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, though, despite all the troubles, many lebanese will hope to see a more stable future. and then ed to that troubles. ashley major 0, bob, lebanon,
10:25 am
and german chancellor le sholtes is set to visit china in the coming days. but he is facing criticism for a deal with the chinese shipping giant costco. his cabinet allow the, the companies to buy a steak in hamburg, container port, sebastian reports now from hand back after rotterdam, antwerp chinese state company cosco has bought a stake in europe. 3rd largest port hamburg the chinese investment in one of the 4 container terminal for scale down from 35 to 24.9 percent off. the chancellor, all of shields came on the fire over the deal, but many in germany are still unhappy about the farm, the one hand they want to become independent from russia and on the other. they're given away from him. so important, i think that this has been a favorite project of chancellor all of shorts, who used to be met and pushes his own interest. it's not only shows his correlation partners who have warned against the deal, the concern outside germany to people in brussels, but also in paris and
10:26 am
a lot of other european members state capitals like there is, there's a lot of frustration and outrage of like, wait, what's germany doing like, why are they going forward this? i thought we were supposed to be decreasing our dependencies when we're talking about critical infrastructure. and we're talking about the nature of china's political and economic system and the nature of a company like costco. i think we should be a bit more cautious, especially now in a post russian invasion of ukraine world. the fact that china doesn't allow similar investments in its own ports, has also been an argument against the deal for some nervousness about the chinese cara. germany's largest container for the show company public. but if you see my fear that mistakes will be made again, but so far the business fail handbook see it, it would lose competitiveness against other european ports. without cost goes, investment the port was already struggling to attract enough business. sometimes
10:27 am
discussions are a bit exaggerated because there is a concern and it's an understandable concern. what has happened in the ukraine? we take the concerns theories, but they are minor from our perspective instead of what we can win as a society and of course as an economy like the chairman ones, but the whole europe as well. but other european nations have accused germany of putting their own interest 1st, when it comes to china. chancellor sholtes plan to take a large business delegation to beijing showing he may be looking for more deals. while the controversy over the costco deal has yet to come down, step france and al jazeera hampered people in israel head to the polls on tuesday for the 5th general election. and for years for the president, for the former prime minister. i'm sorry benjamin netanyahu is hoping to return to power and the number of seats that are parties when it could determine if he's
10:28 am
successful. bennet smith reports now from laud in central israel. palestine in israel is make up 20 percent of israel's population. would have little influence and if government, despite the efforts of activist survey suggested, turn out as low as 40 percent in this 5th election in 4 years. by frustration. the best time our parties have been able to form a single block to maximize the number of seats they could when they don't trust the israeli. because to say that it will her be fair to them. ah, and 2nd, a big frustrated with the arab leadership also that they did not unite in order to pass bit commonly in the coming election that have more impact on decision making. and therefore, they don't see any reason if they have no impact. why participate in the last election? the conservative religious arab party, united arab list,
10:29 am
became the 1st in israeli history to join a governing coalition. led by yeah, le pete that was formed just to keep benjamin netanyahu out. but many here feel bad experiment didn't make much of a difference to our communities that have long been under resourced. not voting is, is, is an, an, as an important phenomenon that comes to show the disbelieve of basine ends in it, in the state of israel and the citizen. and the system itself as a system, regardless of who is in a government or not. we palestinians inside israel are repressed and we need people to defend us, and we need to send representatives to the parliament to stand up for our rights and our issues. a low turn out this time could have a profound effect on the direction of israel politics. i think with the most important and volatile law of voters in terms of turn out other palestinian arms, who are citizens of israel, the morals, them vote. and if their parties pass the threshold,
10:30 am
they move the center of israel party system more or to the left or more to the antenna anakin 2 years ago, era parties health 15 seats in the 120 c class it the palestinian israeli parties. and benjamin netanyahu likely emerge with a majority back there. not just for the 1st time, the cabinet ministers drawn from his rails fall right jewish national. wow. wow. bernard smith, i'll g 0 with just about 3 weeks now to the wild cup. argentina fans are hoping that line or messy can lift the trophy to emulate the late diego merit donna since his death 2 years ago. many tributes have been paid to the man who lifted the trophy back 1986 among them is mural on a plane painted by maximilian glasgow. the artist has painted many more portrait.
