8:05 am
a final results were old and intense displays of both grief and joy on the streets a sign of the country's bitter divide after its most polarizing election in decades . thousands of people gathered outside jaya both sinatras home in rio de janeiro to celebrate. to his supporters the result marks a new beginning for brazil. with many shedding tears of joy as the news broke the ball so now a spark of unity brought their lives north of oh this is a country for a saw brazilians by birth or heart you know brazil of diverse opinions colors and orientations as a defender of freedom i will lead a government which defends and protects the rights of citizens who comply with their duties and respect the laws of the other day there were some very different scenes in sao paulo amongst supporters of his leftist opponent fernando had.
8:06 am
and out on the street there was anger towards the winner. many protesters shouting not him. clark here i'm in mourning not for me but for brazil it doesn't deserve this it doesn't deserve this ignorance that. also narrows a highly polarizing figure in brazil critics charge him with repeatedly making with such a mystic homophobic and rice's comments and defending torture he's also praised the military dictatorship which led the country from nine hundred sixty four to nine hundred eighty five many political analysts say his sudden popularity is a symptom of the multiple crises besetting brazil. all scenarios pledged to crack down on rampant corruption and to rescue an economy in turmoil. but the former army captain is major promises being to get tough on crime he says violence in brazil has reached epidemic levels in early september both an ira was stabbed during a campaign rally possibly only proving this point in many people's eyes the church
8:07 am
that joined campaigning both in iraq painted himself as a man far removed from the country's political elite but now he's in power brazilians will be wondering what he's going to do with it. has been following the election for us and she joins us from rio de janeiro hi carolyn you were in front of both in our house as the news came that he won by supporters there what was the reaction like. well his supporters were euphoric they were in a party mood they talked about change for brazil a positive change to someone who would organize brazil bring order and the only man who will is not involved in corruption scandals and this would be the best president for brazil and they were all in the party mood and it was very loud and
8:08 am
you know brazilians know how to party that was pretty clear there. currently you know also narrow has promised to change the country what is going to happen now what does he promised to do. that is the big question to me what is going to happen now that someone has been elected as the next president for president well he has been doing different controversial announcements during his political campaign and one of the things and he says it is that he wants to legalize carrying weapons for each brazilian citizen and that is how he sees a way of fighting crime here and in brazil another thing he said is that he wants to open more military schools in brazil at least one in each brazilian state on the international level he said that brazil is going to withdraw from the united nations literally he said that he sees the united nations as a group often nonsense communists however two days later he said that this is not
8:09 am
going to happen and this shows as probably the most important and the most worrying point about tell you what's on that show and that is his and predictability we already know this kind of this title of making policies from the president of the united states mr donald trump. curley and you know we saw that there was not only joy on the streets from boston other supporters but also a lot of pain a lot of sorrow how divided is brazil right now. president is completely divided we also noticed that yesterday when we went to the price area they don't they are well aware the supporters of the workers party gathered they were of course and not only sad but also applied warry because we have to complete they really have seen two completely different candidates here and this is how the country also looks like people who support the far right populists and the other one support
8:10 am
a leftist candidate this already shows two completely different faces of the country and also the political mood in this country. for us in rio de janeiro thank you very much. let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world the leicester city football club has confirmed the death of its owner the chinese would have been a problem he and his and four others rather were killed after their helicopter spiraled out of control and crashed into flames at the club stadium on saturday night fans have been paying tribute to the victims. mourners held an emotional visual sunday for the victims at the synagogue shooting in pittsburgh eleven people were killed when a gunman opened fire at the tree of life synagogue on saturday the suspect a forty six year old man is due in court later today. on door and man has been killed in clashes between a caravan of migrants and police in guatemala police fired rubber bullets and tear

8:12 am
results underscore the flagging support for chancellor merkel's coalition government in berlin with punishment for both the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. party leaders in berlin are now ready to change course student for. politics at the federal level contributed a lot to our losses in has and there are two reasons for that firstly something has to change in the end. we have a lot of work ahead of us so at the condition of the government is unacceptable. we have to ensure the government does what it was elected to do an end are fighting . whether we govern together or not the people expect us to do what's right and deliver results but support for the greens doubled from has this last election five years ago it's their best result in the state. and this result is evidence that people from mainstream society a longing for another kind of government with different ideas. but this is the this
8:13 am
while. the far right if he garnered nearly thirteen percent of the vote and is entering houses parliament for the first time it will then be in all sixteen of germany's state parliaments following the election has the pressure is increasing on the government in berlin to turn its words into action. our political correspondent peter craven is following this story for us hi peter this is not looking good for the governing coalition the conservatives down around ten percentage points of social democrats or worse result ever in the state how worrying is this for chancellor merkel's government it's very worrying indeed these are really really big losses and absolute hammering as you said and i think what it does represent is you know very importantly the erosion much talked about erosion of the big tent parties the social democrats the c.d.u. the christian uncle americans christian democrats have been melting away in recent times and this is exciting feeling beyond that there's also in berlin among the
8:14 am
voters in germany this is there's a growing sense of disillusionment i think with angela merkel's leadership why is that well i think she says she's failed she for so many people this is been universally expressed across germany she has failed to prevent her coalition government in berlin it's a time when germany needs domestic leadership and international leadership she has failed to stop coalition government from descending into abject quarreling and broke up with government and that led to a loss of a massive loss of respect for angela merkel and for the two main parties in the coalition so is she going to have to face consequences what is going to happen now for her and her government well this was talked about as a sheikh saad survive in germany as a day of destiny votes of destiny that looked as though it was going to point finally to the door the really be the beginning of the end that we talked about so often but i think my assessment i have to say is that angle american lives to fight another day after this election i don't think the coalition is going to crumble i think that the real danger for england marco does come from the social democrats
8:15 am
the sense that they're in an existential bout existential battle to stay alive and that they're really concerned about whether they should stay in the coalition or not because it's been it's been causing them to hemorrhage votes for such a long time and they are but they have indicated that they will put down red lines today or in the days to come and that they will force a deal with. going to coalition government conservatives to make sure that those social democrats are shown to be creating policy we should talk about some of the other parties here the a.f.d. now is an all sixteen state parliaments in germany what has led to their sustained popularity in this country. it's interesting how one or two people want to do commentaries in the last since the election result came in yesterday evening have been pointing to the fact that the social to the alternative for germany had been aiming to get fifteen percent has a similar result thirty percent so something we're asking whether the sort of there is a stop to the search but of course it is incredibly important that they all now it
8:16 am
also extends federal states and they've been dominating a large swathe of the german political narrative of the political agenda by forcing the issue of forcing the german public and the media to talk about immigration migration refugees nonstop crime among refugees nonstop and they've been dominating the debate by the us that they're looking forward to. free federal elections in eastern german states next year with looking forward to doing particularly well possibly so they've pushed the debate to the right also taken some voters away from the chancellor merkel's conservative you said we've seen a restructuring here are we seeing a change in germany's political landscape or you know i are going to have these big big tent parties i think it's got a much broader there are now center exactly and there's the as far less brand loyalty as suppose you would say if you were coming from the world of business for the individual political parties and there are many many more sources obviously of information and misinformation about where you might want to go when on voting day
8:17 am
that's having quite a considerable impact but at the end of the day you think chancellor merkel can still hold on to power here chancellor merkel is certainly will hold on to power as a key conservative leaders meeting next weekend there'll be some hard talk that the party conference in december there'll be more pressure on anglo-american but i think she will survive that and will be able to fight another day as to say all right our political correspondent peter craven thank you very much peter. now to sports and in formula one lewis hamilton a storm to a fifth world championship win at the mexican grand prix on sunday hamilton went into the race and needing to finish in the or above seventh place to clinch the championship but he started third on the great and made an early bid for the lead but red bulls max for stop an edge him aside and went on to win the race for a second year in a row but it was hamilton's day and he claimed fourth spot handing in this fifth world title. only one driver in the history of the sport has never won more
8:18 am
world championships than lewis hamilton retired racing legend michelle schumacher with seven but the britain is closing in having secured that fifth crown on sunday here's the story of the season's title defense. lewis hamilton champion again his fifth formula one world title has arguably been his toughest the mercedes driver expected and initially got a big challenge from ferrari before he was able to streak away to overall victory i think is just really about being consistent in the most consistent so far. but says it's seen as starting off a little bit up and down to begin the season initially the briton struggled to keep up with title rival sebastiaan fettle at the mid-season break the ferrari driver was in the lead with four wins and eight podium finishes defending champion hamilton was trailing sat in a technically inferior car. but the team and their star driver didn't panic.
8:19 am
spirit within the team is trying to listen to them and these experiences that we've been having and how we've been handling them have really united us more than any other year the team's engineers showed their worth they moved quickly to modify a few parts and make technical changes which got rid of the traction issues that had slowed the car down they were ruthless his miss a these teammate valtteri bottas was relegated to a supporting role fassel didn't have that type of support from his teammates and while the ferrari driver faltered hamilton cruised through the second half of the season with aplomb michel schumacher his record of seven world titles may now be in sight for a dominant hamilton. was. ok monica is here with business now and america a big deal in the tech world exactly it's all about cloud computing so maybe because tech giant i.b.m. has purchased redhat software for thirty four billion dollars any to better compete
8:20 am
with cloud computing companies like amazon google and microsoft and it is i.b.m.'s largest acquisition ever cloud computing and able people and organizations to perform do. to tasks on devices without housing service locally i.b.m. c.e.o. ginni rometty estimates the market for cloud computing to be worth one trillion dollars and according to i.b.m. only twenty percent of applications have been transitioned to cloud services so far eighty percent a still stored locally. talking of impressive figures two hundred million travelers a year and six runways turkish new airport in istanbul is set to be the world's largest airport is a pet project of president recha type add to one and he will personally open the airport today as turkey celebrates the ninety fifth anniversary of its establishment as a republic today's launch however will just be symbolic with only limited flights
8:21 am
beginning days later the new airport won't be fully operational until the end of the year and the project has been docked by concerns about labor rights and turkey's ailing economy. reports. the flight information both are already showing departure times but a few steps away the terminal is still a construction site is down moves new airport is opening even though not everything is ready. airport chief executive cathy some flu is still there is satisfied it took less than four years to build the massive project something he doubts others could match. dispose of the is being billed to turkish capital turkish workers turkish banks and turkish no hope and this is this is is this. pumping our self-esteem higher and i read it when i
8:22 am
see this place we did it and that's that's makes me approach. it's an airport of many superlatives it's europe's largest with an initial capacity of nineteen million passengers a year this is just the first of four construction faces within a decade it's set to become the world's largest airport. with this app port istanbul hopes to become one of the world's biggest of the asian hops if you know i'll fly long distance wire dubai frankfurt paris to london chances are you may soon be changing planes here instead but the project has come with a number of problems villagers say their land was exposed created environmentalist suppose the clearing of future forests and many workers who helped build the project in record time say they face horrible conditions such as a lack of safety precautions fatal accidents and being paid late or not at all.
8:23 am
jamal as their spent nine months working at the airport he says when he criticised conditions openly he was fired. only children just in mid september there was a very bad accident again. seventeen people were seriously injured. and eyewitnesses even say some workers were killed. but anybody who speaks out about it could end up in jail or been given that it may be the world's largest airport but it stained with the blood of workers. cut least some slew admits there was some problems but insists they have been rectified. because demand that's. certain. measures. at this moment be provided.
8:24 am
and from my perspective is on the control and. the c.e.o. says he wants to look to the future and not to the past there is still a lot left to be done that istanbul's new airport even after the official opening. this report. is you johann and she joins us now from istanbul you know first of all we haven't heard yet how much these negative project costs and just the work we needed according to the airport to management the project cost more than seven billion euro so far and this is just for the first of four construction faces so we can assume they need to invest much much more in the upcoming he is the airport really is gigantic seventy six million square meters
8:25 am
three times the size of the frankfurt airport four times the size of the airport in atlanta in the u.s. which is now considered the world's biggest in terms of passenger capacity and they built it in just under four years i mean let's compare to berlin it's been twelve years now since construction started in berlin and we still don't have an official opening day to there but president add on has been personally pushing for his for for this project his big and vision is to turn is simple into a major evi ation have between europe asia and the arab world what about the human cost in this report we just heard claims of people being killed seriously injured. is that justified. well first of all this airport is a centerpiece of a fifteen year construction boom under president out on the c.e.o. also told us that they expected to add five percent to the country's g.d.p.
8:26 am
by twenty twenty five but now it's the year twenty eighteen and turkey has huge economic problems the lira lost against the dollar and the euro incredibly a lot of the value inflation is high and there are reports that contractors were not able to pay workers in time this is one of the reasons why they went on strike why they had a protest just in september another reason is the fact that many workers have died since the construction started thirty eight workers according to the union we've been talking to the government and the airport management have admitted thirty deaths deaths so far so the unions say this is mostly due to a lack of safety precautions and you know there have been protests but the police detained hundreds of workers during the last big protest which suggests that the government really does not want to see any you know shadows anything overshadowing the glamour of this megaproject. their reporting for us from istanbul thank you so
