been circulating here basically citing anonymous police sources now we are waiting for investigators an investigation has been opened here by the turkish authorities but we're waiting for investigators for police to actually present evidence for these accusations obviously very serious allegations there but can you tell me more about why it might he have been a target from the saudi perspective. well first of all he is a well known critic of the saudi leadership interesting lido not a long time dissident amende very well connected to the in a circles of power in saudi arabia to form a government advisor but in the past year he has been frequently criticizing especially prince had been saw him on for example when it comes to rests of women's rights activists and he has fled to the u.s.

different types of foreigners those who are expected and hopeful that there are a candidate will win and those who are anxious and even afraid that the frontrunner yeah you are both in our might even make it in the first round today he does remind a lot of people here of the dark times of the military dictatorship that lasted more than twenty years and this is because he has shown a lot of sympathy with the army not only as a former captain an army but also suggesting that the best way to end one of brazil's biggest problem which is insecurity and violence by sending the military to the street he has said that killing more criminals would be one of the answers let's remember that seven of the twenty most violent cities in the world are here in brazil and that's one of the ways he wants to solve this problem. so it would appear the people there are also really fed up with corruption and they're hoping that also now is going to change this could he bring the change that people expect

. well he doesn't sell himself as the only clean candidate among the church the thirteen candidates are running today for president saying he has no corruption scandals that he has been investigated for that he has been involved in some cases but there's no formal prosecution and this is what people actually like about him they think he is different they like the way he speaks and he they think that he is different to the political elite even though he has been in congress for about three decades but they are fed up with corruption and that is especially with the workers' party that ruled and governed this country for fourteen years and which most blame for the biggest corruption scandals that have been hitting the country and ophelia what about as close as a pony and leftist candidate from one to head is able to stand on his own merits or is he riding the wave of his predecessor. well to be honest there are people that say that how that is no one without even before he officially

said that how that would be his. presidential candidate for his workers' party he had only six percent. from the support that he rapidly grew up to twenty two he's up to twenty five at the moment so many fear that it will actually be holding and pulling the strings from behind the scenario this is why many people also don't support have that because they think he's just marionette from from lula and some investors even fear that he won't be able to pass very necessary reforms because even though he's considered more moderate they think will be behind him but being more moderate also makes the more leftist militants of the workers' party don't support. that and he will have to convince them in a very probable second round in a runoff against mr bowles from there at the end of the month if he wants to be ten . news afridi reporting from new rio de janeiro thank you.
