a decade. the disease can be easy to treat for many are struggling to access the help they need. and russia says it's a draft is complete with more than $80000.00 reservists already on the front lines . that's after putin's controversial mobilization order to boost true numbers for the war in ukraine. ah. hello, i'm clear, richardson. thank you so much for joining us. brazil's presidential candidates have faced off in their final televised debate ahead of sundays, run off elections. right wing incumbent j your ball scenario and has left as challenger, luis and osceola to silva repeatedly called each other. liars, the former president, known as lula, has promised to strengthen environmental protections, give more rights to indigenous peoples, and to raise on the wretch. wilson aro,

has marginalized indigenous group and like commercial farming operations over exploit the amazon rain forest. in the debate, lula condemned both in the handling of the pandemic in which 700000 brazilians have died. d w. as your 100 ramirez is reporting for us from rio and watch that final debate he set out with a victory for lula or both. nora would mean for the future of the country, a victory for another filled with the 1st and foremost, a vindication for him and his political parcher. let's remember that he was convicted for a corruption case. you sent a couple of, he can prison. so becoming president now would be and the taxes are coming back for him, but also a major victory for the laughter here in the country and in latin america. let's remember that many countries in the recent months and years in latin america have turned to the left us. so brazil, turning to the left, it was the very person. this is the largest democracy of the region. on the other

hand, a potential victory offer job o scenario would be, would be the consolidation of their far rights in the country and a confirmation for his controversial way of doing politics. so this is a very important election, not just in brasil, lola or bar scenario. this is very important also for latin america, because as i said, this is the largest democracy continents, also the main economy of the region. so what happens in brazil has an impact in the whole continents and environmental say, the outcome of brazil's election could decide the fate of the world's largest rain for us. the amazon plays a crucial role in regulating the world's climate. a deforestation of the amazon has soared under incumbent dryer bowls. noro who has rolled back environmental protections more fires are raging in the amazon right now. then in over a decade, as farmers clear land for cultivation. and often those fires burn out of control. armed with only a bucket molina ever coolly,

anna was trying to save her home as the flames draw nearer, but her house is completely surround it with the fires at beginning closer for days . the wind is especially scary. melina and her husband, wellington say they know who's responsible for this fire and brazil's amazon estate . it's the farmers who deliberately burned the jungle off. now the fire has reached us. deforestation of the amazon rain forest and brazil has increased by nearly 50 percent since last year. that's the highest rate of destruction in 15 years. according to the environmental n g o e amazon. in the neighboring state, the indigenous kara puna people are witnessing the devastation 1st hand. their land is under state protection, but every day loggers encroach on their land and chopped down the most valuable trees. to buzzle the la garza during ice so that later they can sell

the logs legally. even though my be back soon to pick up this log into the tribal leader andre kara puna is worried. in recent years, these criminals have become increasingly ruthless and indigenous territories with what we hear. they took away the best log, seen lobby, and then said everything else on fire. so they couldn't find cattle here. the car of who now people live far away from the big cities and receive almost no support from the bull sanara government. it's funny to tell you that we are fighting for our rights to our land keeping food, put even in court instead of food. however, if congress continued as plans go, we cannot protect things. dorchester road indigenous to our trees. we lose our loan, their goods, b, b, s. as they had the, brazil's agricultural lobbyists have been trying to get such

a law passed for months without success. so far. back at melina and wellington's house, the fires are growing, more threatening as the winds pick up. wrapping paper at 1st only the dry grass was burning. now a few minutes later and everything is on fire. it will be weeks until it rains and the fires in the region retreat again. well, nigeria is struggling to contain an outbreak of cholera as it contends with its worst flooding in a decade. about many of those forced from their homes by the floods have moved it to temporary camps. some in areas where conflict has already displaced ours. healthcare facilities are overwhelmed by the influx of patients. scientists are warning that outbreaks of waterborne diseases like cholera could become more common as letting intensifies due to climate change. for more, let's get across to dw correspondent ways to address,

who joins me now from the nigerian capital, a boucher, a waste with the epicenter of this cholera outbreak is in the north eastern bore no state. how are people they're dealing with the situation. it's a very difficult situation for people who are just been they look at it back to their communities, af, tabacco. her mom has ravage dot community because they're just trying to come to times with their own new life, trying to pick up their lives, trying to see how they can face with that daily lives of. she didn't themselves, and now they have dis, device tit in a flood, which is associated with the cholera. so it is very difficult for them i wish and death because from several local government, the thing has spread to over 10 look. good men now would over 500 kisses on of

a 100 debts. you mentioned how boca heron is or rather the outbreak of compounding issues. people are already facing from a islamist insurgencies in warner state. how do those also affect the response to the color outbreak? it does put a lot of pressure on the little health facility which has been established when this people are located back to their communities. i remember nigeria is passing a lot of death of health officials, health personnel, about 5000 doctors left to nigeria even dose. but i, yeah, how many doctors are willing to go to dinner is rub hits by book or her arm, even with the restoration of a little bit of peace. so it was a little pressure because no pride been hospitalized in most of these places. you rely on government facilities which are very on the surface and over and over when

by the colorado tuition. and we've also mentioned that climate change is a factor in this devastating flooding that's driving the rising cholera. k says, how much of a role does climate change play in domestic debates there there is original debate going on about how climate change is needing to dis, flawed in most of the politicians. even those were as parents to become precedent in $22030.00. i've already been calling for the government to declare a set of emergency because of dis flood because this is the most de guston flood. nigeria is facing in over a decade with over 600 people debt and so many last 2 lives and properties. so the government has just establish a climate change council, which is yet to start for people to see the impact of that opposition created 200

issues of climate change and you know, it didn't before the flood, nigeria has been facing climate change trends that are going to kill russian dollar decertification that are brought and that is a lot of ren would be shut puter of time. so debate is going on and the government is saying that we are on top of this tuition. we are doing what we call to handle this. because one has been given to so many communities of dis flawed, but moving them out of the regard. banks has been difficult for the government. what people say no, the government is responsible, even if you come look, they come move you by force because you should be moved to safety. so the debate is we're all going. but the reality sorta do on the crown of what climate change a did other corresponding way. so interest, thank you so much fear of morning. thank you or russia says it has completed its call up of 300000 military reservists. defense

minister survey showing those as over 80000 reserve troops have already been deployed to ukraine. when the ras still in training president windermere potent issued the mobilization order last month to beef up russian forces in ukraine. the call of lead to protests. it also prompted hundreds of thousands of russian men to flee the country. well, frank language as a senior lecturer in strategy and law at the university of portsmouth. and i asked him if the russia reserve, as could make a significant difference on the ground for russian troops in ukraine. only about half of these 40000, according to putin, are actually going into combat the other 40000 to likely to stay behind as logistics support troops. putin himself said that they were getting between 2 and 3 weeks training. laugh is insufficient, essentially. so even to train you to use your rifle properly and work in a very small group, the effectiveness of the combat element. so this,

which is about $40000.00, as i said over spread all over the front, will entirely depend on their commanders at the front. and they been very variable . the answer, the question is really, they won't make it, they will make a significant difference on the ground at all the best. they may allow the, the russians to hold some ground but, but nothing on them. ended with cold winter months approaching. russia has been attacking in free an infrastructure such as the electricity network, demoralizing, ukrainian population. but you have actually argued that things could be worse for russia's forces. why exactly as that? first of all, you crave is getting a great deal of equipment from the west. it's getting hundreds, hundreds of thousands of pieces of, of cold weather gear and even wrote the you crazy course to, to work far better. that's crucial winters, as you well know in central europe can go down,

especially in the central ukraine area, minus 20 minus 30 degrees centigrade and you keep the cards operated. not, you need some training, you need some good good equipment and the creditor rather better recruited than that. a few tens of thousands of cars scripts with a couple of weeks trading and no unit cohesion. the likelihood is a winter is going to slow things down to everyone, including you probably need to rely really on their success on what's called maneuver warfare. and whether that slows everyone to maneuver warfare is probably not going. we're not going to see as much as we've seen before, but certainly you credit for a far better prepared in the russians for this. by the way, when you see the kind of equipment and scales russian soldiers, the new ones, half, i certainly would want to be in their ranks now to expect a slowing down in the months to come. now this week, russia made the claim, and ukraine is manufacturing dirty bombs and that it plans to use them. how would you assess that clean?

first of all, this is a false flag. another false, like a time by russia we had, we had a similar thing with another cock about gab, about 2 or 3 weeks ago where the russians said they were the ukrainians, were thinking of destroying it, and then said a baggy because of course it was a russians who are considering not as to a dirty ball. there's no gain for either side on the fear was of course this was another veiled threat by putting to justify the deployment of some problems low you nuclear weapon in response. i doubt that any of this will happen. i think it's more safer rattling until low. and unless you craig gets into a position where it threatens crimea, i think that's why some red lines will be crossed. but as to the dirty bob, look, the only time want done is have a been deployed. there was some allegations of ninety's tractions or trying to deploy, was there a cold war trope?

all right, we're going to leave it there. thank you so much for taking the time frank leverage . as always a pleasure. thank you. and just before we go, don't forget, you can always get the news on the go to download our app from google play or from the store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world. as well as push notifications for breaking news update. after that, we're going up next, a documentary about the power of making a 1st impression. richardson, thank you so much for watching the country that will host the world cost between transformation and exploitation between education and tradition. between cosmopolitan flare and captivating wilderness. the portrait of.
