this is bbc news, the headlines: the polls are now closed in brazil's presidential elections — as two rivals from opposite ends of the political spectrum fight for power. the prime minister admits her government should have better communicated before the mini budget that sparked turmoil on the financial markets — and insists they'll be no u—turn on axeing the top rate of income tax. meanwhile, at the conservative party conference, the northern ireland minister, steve baker, has apologised for showing a lack of understanding to his irish and eu counterparts when making the case for brexit. one of the world's worst

stadium disasters. at least 125 people have died in a stampede at an indonesian football match after police tear—gassed pitch invaders. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost, and parliamentary journalist tony grew. hello grew. to you both. we will chat in a moment. hello to you both. we will chat in a moment. i will take our viewers through a look of the front pages first. let's start with the metro, which leads with criticism from former cabinet minister michael gove, who says the prime minister's plan to fund tax—cuts with more borrowing is "not conservative". staying with politics, the i leads with a potential

rebellion from some tory mps, who want to force the government into a u—turn on its tax cuts for the wealthy. the guardian reports on the same story, which says there's a "rising drumbeat of discontent" amoung tory mps, over the pm's decision to stand by her tax cuts. however the telegraph says they have already got their way, reporting to already got their way, reporting to a delay to the cuts over fears that mps will not back it. elsewhere the new york times is reporting on the war in ukraine, revealing angry and panicked messages from russian soldiers who have been sent to the front line. that was a flavour of one of our international front pages. before our chat and talk through the front pages, we will turn our attention to events in brazil. the polls have now closed in

the country's residential elections as two rivals on opposite ends of the political spectrum fight for power. both candidates have pledged more welfare spending with the country facing an economic crisis and high inflation. let's take a quick look now at the leading candidates in this election. the far—right incumbent, jair bolsonaro, is seeking a second term. a former captain in the brazilian military, he was a councillor for rio dejaniero before being elected president in 2018. he cut ties with the social liberal party in 2019, and is running for the conservative liberal party in this election. mr bolsonaro has previously said if he loses this election, it will be because the voting system is rigged — something brazil's electoral authority has dismissed —

but it raised concerns he may not accept the result. the other frontrunner is luiz inacio lula da silva, known simply as lula. the left—wing former metal worker and union leader was president of brazil from 2003 to 2010 for the workers�* party, and left office with an approval rating of 80%. he was jailed in 2018 on corruption charges, but those were quashed and he was freed in 2021, allowing him to run in this election, promising to �*get the country back to normal�*. we will go to copacabana beach where our correspondence is standing by. the count has begun so where are we? 10% of the vote has been counted and

so far, with 90% of the vote outstanding we are seeing a narrow lead forjair bolsonaro but it is too early to read too much into these results. in terms of the key election overshadowing this whole raises the question of whether president bolsonaro would accept a result that he didn't win because as you are saying, he has been suggesting that in some way this voting system could be rigged against him. that has led to great uncertainty here in brazil and a concern this is the most significant election in the country since the end of the military dictatorship and the return of free and fair elections in 1989. a big issue for voters is the cost of living with the war in ukraine sending energy prices and food prices up, inflation is high here. jair bolsonaro campaigning on a campaign platform of family, faith, liberty and homeland. while lula da silva

previously the president here is positioning himself as the champion of the working brazilian, wanting people to have enough money to have a barbecue on the beach. all eyes in brazil as results come in and we are at 10% of the votes so far but in an hour and a half, we could know the whole result. fix, hour and a half, we could know the whole result.— whole result. a very quick turnaround. _ whole result. a very quick turnaround. however - whole result. a very quick turnaround. however with whole result. a very quick- turnaround. however with these allegations from mr bolsonaro that the election system could be rigged, how seriously are they being taken and how serious are those allegations for brazil? the problem is nobody knows _ allegations for brazil? the problem is nobody knows what _ allegations for brazil? the problem is nobody knows what president - is nobody knows what president bolsonaro would do. he has said the polls are wrong and polls have suggested he is trailing to lula da silva, he said that to his supporters, then he has cast doubt on the integrity of the voting machines. he is close to the military as a former captain so they have been fears of an military coup that those are overblown and top

military officials have taken care to brief newspapers to say that won't happen but could he is our supporters to come out on the streets, as much as president trump encourages supporters to march on the us capitol. there is a lot of uncertainty and tension with nobody knowing what this first round of elections will bring and if there is no clear winner with more than 50% of the vote, this will go to a run—off between the candidates with more uncertainty and the potential for more political conflict. mr bolsonam's _ for more political conflict. mr bolsonaro's term in office, what was that like? it bolsonaro's term in office, what was that like? ., , , ., , that like? it has been tumultuous for sure. that like? it has been tumultuous for sure- he _ that like? it has been tumultuous for sure. he is _ that like? it has been tumultuous for sure. he is a _ that like? it has been tumultuous for sure. he is a pugnacious - for sure. he is a pugnacious populist, very much in the mode of former president donald trump. he revels in the moniker of trump of the tropics, he has accelerated deforestation of the amazon, he has

attacked the rights of indigenous people during the pandemic, he opened the question of vaccines, said he was not vaccinated himself, so it has been a very tempestuous term in office whereas lula da silva is promising a return to the good old days when he was president and the economy was more stable. but of course the world has changed and these are two characters offering i geologically polar positions to brazil's electorate.— geologically polar positions to brazil's electorate. thank you. laura will _ brazil's electorate. thank you. laura will be _ brazil's electorate. thank you. laura will be following - brazil's electorate. thank you. laura will be following events | brazil's electorate. thank you. i laura will be following events in brazil very closely, life over the coming hours and we will bring you those results and also the developments and reaction to that. so do stay with us here. in the meantime, let us return to our look of the front pages. welcome back tony grew and caroline frost.

i wonder if we could start off with that subject brazil. tony, the front page of the guardian, it has been described as polarised, everyone has been following mr bolsonaro's term in office, what have you made of it? i am more interested in his opponent, a politician so he is only known by one name, overcomes charges against him and seeks a comeback. i am sure borisjohnson is watching closely. am sure boris johnson is watching closel . ., . , am sure boris johnson is watching closel. ., ., , ., closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one — closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one of _ closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one of the _ closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one of the main _ closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one of the main issues - closely. for many outside of brazil, i think one of the main issues with l i think one of the main issues with him has been the rainforest, that has made the headlines worldwide and his approach to that. yes. has made the headlines worldwide and his approach to that.— his approach to that. yes, he is 'ust a his approach to that. yes, he is just a little _ his approach to that. yes, he is just a little mini _ his approach to that. yes, he is just a little mini trump. - his approach to that. yes, he is just a little mini trump. looksl his approach to that. yes, he is i just a little mini trump. looks like the election will go badly for him, attacks the integrity of the

election process, flaws in the system, i would be concerned that he will refuse to concede and that will lead to a significant problem within brazil. brazil is a huge country, one of the most populous in the world, certainly in america and the stewardship of the amazon rainforest is something that should concern us all more than it does at the moment. if he is re—elected, that will be very bad for the environment across the world. indie very bad for the environment across the world. ~ ., ., ., . ~ the world. we are going to turn back to events here _ the world. we are going to turn back to events here in _ the world. we are going to turn back to events here in the _ the world. we are going to turn back to events here in the uk, _ the world. we are going to turn back to events here in the uk, caroline. l to events here in the uk, caroline. take us to the front page of the daily telegraph and the story we are concentrating on is their lead story, it has a picture of kwasi kwarteng coming out of his car but the headline is liz truss delays the vote on the 45p tax cut after tory revolt. what do you make of that? i think the telegraph has stolen a bit of a march—

their medium—term plan at the same time as they announce these tax cuts and the supply—side stuff, that may have averted some of the scenes on the financial markets. i am coming to the conclusion that liz truss is never good at this thing called politics. they don't appear to understand the markets, how the house of commons works. if i was a tory mp i would be thinking, i am amazed at the amount of destruction she has managed to reap in such a short period of time in terms of our economic position and in the polls. let's take this idea of a rebellion forward. caroline, back to the front page of the guardian, the tories are threatening this rebellion. michael gove says the taxman is not conservative. how much damage do you think this will do to the party if there is another shake—up at the

the country look like a bunch of
