a difficult decision to make on sunday. although there are 9 other candidates in this election, it is all about lulu unwholesome, narrow, according to recent pause low lies ahead by more than 15 points on both on our ha said if he doesn't win in the 1st round, it would be because something was wrong with the process some say this with, but brazil's democracy at risk yet de la premier is in brazil getting him. this is the 1st time in brazil. you know, we have a president who says we cannot trust the results. also see i neutral meal. there is a lot of fear that bulletin r a will not recognize the results that there was election and that he will mobilize the armed forces and the police to remain in office visit madison laquisha barrack had arsenal with him on yet. morisha santoro says campaign some borders are largely focused on more immediate concerns that push a point though, of course,

in this election the economy is the most important issue. even more important than the pandemic with issues such as unemployment, hunger hall, and the social impact of all these problems for the poorest people in brazil or at the center of the campaign will have to map orbiting pressing local some real scopic of anna beach. know their future would be that there might be the results of these electrons. most voters would be thinking of what it will mean for day to day issues. but experts will be watching closely to see if brazil's democracy might be in danger. or for more on brazil's election, i'm joined in the studio by my colleague christiana hm. i have from dw is portuguese fort brazil, service christiana, really good to see you. so we hear that opinion polls suggest lula has a very good chance of securing an outright victory. even just in this 1st round today. do you think that's likely to happen? well, marianna, that's true. the latest falls from yesterday nights show. a lula has an at

large advantage overboard sonata 14 percent and also 50 percent of the intention of the voters. but actually, it depends on how many people will appear to vote to. and everything i would say is undefined. so you mention, you know, depends how many people go to vote, so is low turn out expected. what is the atmosphere in the country ahead of this vote and also an election day to day. yes, actually devote is mandatory in brazil for 4 people over 18 and under 70. but the point is that quite pull arises dipping was fear there. so we say from the research is almost 10 people admit they may not appear to vote in disc. would be really important in this moment. that so narrow tis

a difference with 50 percent. he should win with over 50 percent to win to day. so it's quite exciting the results and his expectations for today, also adding to this nervous atmosphere perhaps is these statements by ball sanara who suggesting that if he's defeated, he may not accept the result and that they're at the, you know, he's saying that there's going to be fraud in the election process. so is there a danger that should he be defeated to day that he just won't go peacefully while tis is there the big question in brazil? now bernardo has been really repeating over and over that he's not going to accept a defeat at the same time of his campaigning against the credibility of the electoral process all the time. but analysts say that they don't see a like of a huge support at the army, for example, or a military coup. so at the same time, there is a big wave now

a pro lula from many different segments of the society, not just from the left wing. so artists are campaigning, people from the justice of the many, many, many different sides in brazil are sporting lula to, to try to really decide this vote today. yet i will tell, indeed, a very exciting election campaign. christiana hamano from des, portuguese were brazil service. thank you. so very much for oliver in science, thank you for having ukrainian forces are pushing ahead with their counter offensive after recapturing a key eastern town from russia, the ukrainian military says it struck several russian command posts and ammunition depos moscow's defense. melt. ministry is also claiming to have destroyed ukrainian missile depots. president zalinski says li man and the eastern den ask region has been quote, fully cleared of russian troops who retreated from the town on saturday. a video

shared by ukrainian police appears to show their forces tearing down russian flags . well, meanwhile you as defense minister lloyd austin said, ukraine's victory inlay mon would be a strategic headache for russia as it seeks to hold off the counter offensive elsewhere. we are very encouraged by what we're saying right now. we one should saw astride the supply lines or the other options and they've, they've used those routes to, to, to push men and material down to the south and to the west. and without those routes, it will be more difficult, so it presents a sort of a dilemma for, for the russians. going for d, w correspondent, nick connelly and give told me that the loss of layman is a major blow to russian president vladimir putin. well, not only is it a crucial strategic point in terms of the logistics of russia's invasion of

ukraine's. we heard from lord austin there it talks about the optics and the timing . you know, this is just a day after a couple of days after this huge event in moscow in the kremlin, with vladimir putin saying that russia is here to stay, that russia is not gonna budge. and he, we, he, we've seen, you know, the opposite being proved. we've seen, you crank successfully rolling back for some control, pulling down russian flags pulling down signs and co symbols of the kind of russian takeover. and this is, this is linda. yes, region. so this is the reason that russia now claims as its own and you, ukraine, is actually able to create facts on the browse. this is a very big deal. and you know, it potentially with a few more weeks to go before the winter, really sets in and fighting bills more difficult as the real prospect of ukraine heading towards those cities. 7 than yes, the chance, which were basically russia's only big wind of the summer. russia invested thousands of lives and a lot of technology to capturing those cities at very, very slow pace. now ukraine's within striking distance is really, really launched a wave of soul searching in russia. she's much kristen for the russian military

leadership play to put under a lot of pressure, even people who are in favor of this invasion of ukraine and a sense that even rushes mobilization of tens and hundreds of thousands of civilians is not actually having effect yet. and you can't really on a roll. so, nick, what do we know about russia's military strategy? what are they likely to do next? well, the fair hearing here is that given these failures on the battlefield, given russia inability to really change its tactics to deal with all the western equipment that ukraine is getting. they are going to increasingly focus their attention on civilian infrastructure and basically try and make life as difficult as possible for as many ukraine's they can. the sooner thing is the, in the middle of this war, you're here and key of you still have it functioning perfectly. avenue for this. you have gassy, of all the kind of basics of modern civilization. and the be expectation is that russia will try and make life so uncomfortable that ukraine population puts pressure on its leaders to, you know, and this was on russia's term. so that's really the thing that people are expecting him did by his name,
