successful nations of the 21st century but it's faced problems of corruption, protests, recession and crime. in the second of a three part special series, we examine how brazil's dreams of a better future disappeared. in brazil, the boom years of lula have given way qegeite the tyres}?! in. the saint"; . ——— 77—7 —— ~ dilma has been narrowly reelected in a closely—fought contest. meanwhile, corruption scandals uncovered by operation carwash have begun to expose politicians.

more than 157 persons were convicted for bribery and money laundering. and the politicians in turn have begun to look for a scapegoat. president dilma was the obvious choice. dilma's deputy, michel temer, became brazil's new president, but would the country's devastating corruption investigation stop there or would brazil's political convulsions continue? in her first term of office, dilma had made the mistake of alienating congress. now more than ever, she was going to need to build bridges. but right from the start, her main political rivals began manoeuvring against her. former presidential candidate aecio neves had neverforgiven dilma for his defeat at the 2014 election.

now, he joined forces with a leading congressman, eduardo cunha. they had a common interest. they both wanted to get rid of dilma. with the unofficial support of neves‘ party, eduardo cunha was elected as president of the lower house of deputies. from here, he was in a perfect position to block any economic reforms and to plunge the knife into dilma's presidency. dilma's problems were not limited to her political rivals.

11-52"; age e- gnumuzaa-f‘us ,. — — — on the brakes, and the country had fallen into recession. in the first year of her second term, brazil's gdp fell by nearly 4% and the stock market fell by 13%. under lula, workers‘ party approval ratings had been sky—high. now, dilma saw the party's ratings slide with her own. on the 12th of april, over 1.5 million people took to the streets, a million of them in sao paulo. once again, it was the green and yellow of the national team now it was the turn of a new force

in brazil to pile further pressure onto dilma. judge sergio moro was leading the investigation into corruption known as operation carwash. injune 2015, the ceo of brazil's largest construction firm, marcelo odebrecht, was arrested. it was a sign that even the biggest brazilian business could be broken up by carwash. in december 2015, eduardo cunha made his move and launched impeachment proceedings against dilma. report on accounting practises.

the report had noted that dilma's administration had used an age old tactic. it had delayed paying back money owed to public banks to cover shortfalls in the budget. events began to move quickly. in march 2016, the disgraced construction boss marcelo odebrecht revealed a detailed list of politicians that his company had been bribing. top of the list was dilma's defeated political rival, the centre—right psdb leader aecio neves. odebrecht‘s list also revealed that senior politicians from the ruling

workers‘ party had been taking bribes and illegal campaign donations. but udge sergio moro biggest catch of all. to the apartment as a bribe from the construction company oas. on march the 4th, police raided lula‘s house. the most popular leader in brazilian history was now viewed with the same suspicion as any other corrupt politician. on march the 10th, dilma asked lula tojoin her cabinet as chief of staff.

many saw this as an attempt to provide lula with immunity from prosecution by moro. but dilma claims she had other reasons. protesters began to react to the political drama that was unfolding. on march the 13th, the largest demonstrations in brazilian history took place. nearly 4 million brazilians took to the street demanding the arrest of lula and the impeachment of dilma. the sight of a giant balloon of lula

in a striped prison outfit resonated across the world. once the most popular politician on the planet, lula was about to fall. brazil‘s politicians sensed the opportunity to press home the advantage against the ruling workers‘ party. first, aecio neves tried his luck, but having been accused of corruption himself, lei {egg lee; e; £4.52; 2. li%,:55: seer—gee the tactics behind operation ca rwash, although introduced in brazil by sergio moro, had not been invented by him. moro had copied his tactics from the italian operation known as mani pulite, which had tackled the mafia in the 1990s.

in an article written in 2004, moro had said... now, moro put his theory into practice and made his most decisive and controversial step to date. in a move that many considered illegal, he released details to the press of a phone call. dilma seemed to be suggesting that

lula should take a position in her cabinet in order to protect himself from prosecution. butjudge moro said that his actions were in the public interest. "democracy in a free society," he wrote, "requires that the governed know what their governors are doing, even when they try to act in the dark." the reaction on the streets was fury. 1.4 million marched in sao paulo, outraged at the emerging evidence of a cover—up at the very highest level. the next day went very badly for dilma.

lula‘s appointment as chief of staff was blocked by the courts and the lower house of congress elected a special commission to impeach her, charging her government with breaking budget rules. in april, the lower house voted that dilma should be tried in the senate. jair bolsonaro dedicated his vote to a notorious army torturer from the dictatorship era. the following month, dilma was suspended from office. for dilma, the writing was on the wall.

but her political enemies had another objective now — how to stop carwash before it took them all down. now, another wiretap between a senator and a former executive from petrobras showed how low the political class had fallen. the plan to replace dilma with her deputy, michel temer, was now given extra weight by a visit he made to see general antonio villas boas. the support of the armed forces was vital to ensure that dilma was safely removed.

in the senate, the man charged with leading the impeachment proceedings against dilma on a charge of fiscal manoeuvring was judge ricardo lewandowski, president of the supreme court. dilma‘s defence, led byjose eduardo cardozo, claims the impeachment was little more than a parliamentary coup. once the process had gone to the senate,

the result was never in doubt. while the world‘s eyes were diverted to the olympics, brazil‘s politicians calmly removed their democratically elected head of state. on august the 31st, less than a week after the trial had begun, dilma was impeached. within two hours, herdeputy,j michel temer, had been installed as her successor. but there was one more act of political drama to be settled in 2016. it was revealed that dilma‘s nemesis, eduardo cunha, had himself taken over $5 million in bribes. fiegrshfifi tsrfisefilfil using the country‘s media and nearly 200 plea bargains, had exposed a shocking level of corruption. by the end of 2016, the president

had been successfully removed by her enemies. but could operation carwash be contained or would it claim yet more victims? on saturday was spent on the grey and brown skies, brighterfor many tomorrow after a frosty start to the day. this is a view from the lake district. low cloud around and it is sitting low and producing patchy rain and drizzle overnight. a lot of cloud still with us and that leads temperatures will drop into low, single figures. with clear skies across much of scotland and down the eastern side of england, quite a sharp frost in places, even into rural parts of east anglia. could be down to minus six as sunday begins. but you see the difference in temperatures to where you have got the clear skies and where you have got the cloud, just above freezing. a weather front moving into scotland and northern ireland on sunday,
