right wing government was to our credibility. what we spent 30 years conversing brazilians to get their free shot regularly. but both scenarios caused so many doubts about the efficacy that not only 60 percent of our children are been vaccinated as a result, diseases like measles and polio, which had been eradicated, are making a comeback. revitalizing brazil's public health system is but one of many challenges president like lucy, nasa, luna, the sober we'll have to face once he takes off his son. january 1st education is another. the coven 19 pandemic, coupled with a lack of investment, has increased the education gap between rich and poor, and between whites and blacks. the gather siege always operable as a lead of both scenarios. wanted to end the affirmative action policies establishing racial quotas and universities. he couldn't but stopped giving students financial aid for transportation and accommodation as

a result of 30 percent of those he benefited from quotas, had to drop out, because they had no money to travel back and forth. with the pandemic that went up to 50 percent, who actually the virus also caused public schools 9 year old these years like many who live in reels for villas, forgotten much of what he had learned by just didn't wannna, i was unemployed. i just had another baby and had no money for why fi or food for vinicius, starting on his own on an empty stomach was almost impossible. and that is perhaps, unless greatest challenge, probing hunger. brazil is one of the world's largest exporters of grain and meet. but volunteers here are scrambling for donations to feed a small portion of the countries growing number of hungry being cios. citizenship action has collected 1500 tons of food. this is enough to feed 600000 brazilians, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the 33000000 that have nothing to eat. that is the

same number of hungry people. brazil had 30 years ago, a number reduced to 4 and a half 1000000 by 2014. now the country is back to square one. citizenship action, blaine successive right wing governments for reducing by 96 percent investments in social plans to reduce poverty from 2016, 2022. that hungered roles from 4500000 people to 33000000 people. that's 50 percent of the country living in complete hunger lula has promised to continue distributing a $120.00 monthly emergency handouts to the poor as bill so now did. during the pandemic. you also promised an additional $30.00 for every needy child. but finding the money to solve so many pressing social demands at a time when the economy is in crisis, will be perhaps less biggest challenge. overall monica imaquele, jazeera,

rio de janeiro, brazil is in a 3rd day of national mourning for pele water, known as the king of football. the late football legends waco be held on monday at the club stadium and santos, where he 1st made his name. tens of thousands of people are expected to attend a funeral procession carrying his coffin through the city. on tuesday. john holman, has worn out from santos, for in the museum, dedicated pele in his home town, santo's. and you can really see here where it all started for him. this is a shoe shining box that he built with his uncle, and that used in the 1st years of his life to shine shoes in the local railway station. it's a piggyback for the few coins, anybody's put together to try and play a match. and it then grew from there, obviously for more than a 1000 goals late and 3 world cups that he won. you can see there's actually in

this museum, a floor dedicated to each of the woke ups. and i asked one of the people that had traveled here to, to see this museum. what made him so special? there's been a lot of great players and a lot of great brazilian plays and he just pointed to 3 of the stalls. i'm his brazilian church and said, who else is 13 wo cups. but for a lot of people in brazil, he was more than that. they referred to him as someone who unified the country, someone that everyone seemed to be able to get behind because he kept it simple. he was seen as keeping it reasonably humble. and he was seen as someone that spread joy through some difficult times in brazil, most of the time he was playing the country, had a military government military dictatorship, which he plays through. so if you come a little bit further this way as well, we'll see some of his achievements throughout the years as he became more famous. he started playing, obviously,

in his teenage years and he won the cup. when he won, the woke up, he was only at 17 when he was playing in the final. you can see that right at the end of it. remember this, the boy that's gone from shoe shining in that railway station. here he is with one of the presidents of the united states that he met jimmy carter with a bow and obviously in the later part of his life, pele became very well known among the movie world, among famous celebrities. until he died at the age of $82.00 in south paolo when a 2nd day, a protest in bolivia, santa cruz region, off the rest of a right wing opposition leader police were out in force after fridays von and confrontations, the supporters of jail governor, louise finance camacho, he was arrested on thursday and placed in pre trial detention. camacho deny is accusations of leading a coo during protest in 2019. that's for then president moran is from power. that's bringing when kind of b romero, he's a political and listen join us lie from korea in bolivia. when good to have you

with us. luis camacho is described as one of the most divisive politicians in bolivia. what do you think is the reason behind his arrest? is support to say he was affected, the kidnapped well, it is very complex, generalized. but what we got food 1st of all, believe is just a system is nothing but independent. so what is happening right now is very, you know, when we talk about human rights, camacho was going to the airport and they were, believe you had him. and now if he has to, who is very he was not the president between 2009 in 2020, briefly, none of them actually. so that was true. but listen, i'm not sure how to look up our national power. so he is

a very marginal political the, the state attorney's office says he was arrested because he spearheaded those protests which led to the resignation of former president moran as back in 2019 and also been carried out to coo. judith camacho was really powerful enough to unseat the president. i don't think he was really powerful enough to see the president back then. what i thing is like a really big movement and major cities across the nation. but he was not far from here to see to take the power 979 times much conservative cedar and from the eastern side of the media. actually where he's the governor, but he's power remain, remain free, local, not really nation. so what he's doing is not really up and have doesn't have like

why, why our nation actually when we've, we've seen this volume protest breakout in sam's a cruise, which is camacho stronghold. could his arrest cause much wider disruption across the country? do you think? well we have to be critical about the position of believe the political party party on the other side, the position is the local movements and believe they are very weak to. busy local, moving forward to mobilize the local, moving from santa cruz. and besides that, the product be wider in the next days. well, it depends also. if camacho gets free in the next the next day also, but i don't think like

a major were to become to increase decisions based. okay. we have to leave that women come at the grammar. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and your analysis. thank you. when thank you. the now from the ukraine waterloo, 20 contested us midterm elections. president biden's been put to the test in 2022, a white house correspondent, kimberly hawk. it looks at the u. s. president's year 2022 began with a major stress test of president jo biden's foreign policy. russia's invasion of ukraine as the united states join nato allies and condemning the attack. lead by president vladimir putin bided. went a step further, sending billions to the ukrainian military and imposing sanctions on the kremlin, whom is the aggressor poon, joseph war. and now he and his country will bear the consequences. but americans

senate. still losing control of the house of representatives. 2 republicans by a small number of seats will change the dynamic in congress. come january in many ways, fight and legislative agenda is, is over in the sense that with the help being controlled by republicans for the most part, the way the party is going, their incentives will be more to block what he has wants to do, rather than to work with him, the title of 2023 will also see a number of republicans stepping forward to announce their plans to take back the white house in order to make america great and glorious. again. i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president that includes former president donald trump, who's attempting to make history by becoming only the 2nd us president ever to win 9 could packet of terms. one person who has not yet announced his bid for the white
