comeback. luiz inacio lula da silva won it a deeply divided country. >> on this historical october the 30th, the majority of the brazilian people made it clear that they want more, not less democracy. >> his supporters exploded with joy across the countryn a sea of r. the color office worker's party -- of his worker's party. >> it is an incredible victory. i can say this for all of the trans-, black, and lgbtq people. >> people were hungry, millions of brazilians are hungry, to have lula back as president, we can lift our population out of poverty. >> there was less celebration among jair bolsonaro's supporters. backers of the incumbent president dropped to their knees

and prayed for an election miracle. >> with great sadness i declare that our president did not win the election but won the. hearts of many brazilians. we are with you next time. >> jair bolsonaro goes down as the first brazilian president to fail to win the election. the former army captain commands huge support in the country despite a controversial term in office. he gained 49.1%. this was the closest races this brazil return to democracy after his military dictatorship from 1964 through 1985. brazil faces a tense two month wait until all inauguration -- until inauguration day. >> we speak to a political scientist and professor of international relations at rio de janeiro state university. thank you for joining us.

i would like to start by asking about the reaction to the outcome of the election and the fact that truck drivers have decided to blockade parts of the country. would you describe this as being a meaningful protest? >> it is important, especially because four years ago in 2018 trk drivers. the brazilian economy for one week because of theuge blockades. what isappening with a truck drivers has everything to do with the silence of jair bolsonaro cosigning his defeat. so far he did not make a single statement recognizing his defeat and saying congratulations to lula. >> we are expecting to hear from him today according to people in

his inner circle. he will speak this afternoon, your time. you are a couple of hours behind us. what might he say? what could you forecast him saying? is he likely to say let us move on and i throw my support behind the new president and wish him well? do you anticipate him something more confrontational? >> what he should say, it is o allowing the support and the transition. it would be good for brazil's democracy. i would be surpred. he has been telling voters that they should not stress the voting system and if he les e election it would because of fraud -- do not trust the voting system and if he loses the election it would be because of fraud. in order to create political space to not accept that lula

won. we are in expectation in brazil that something like what trump did in the united states may happen here. it was the invasion of the capitol. perhaps this violent street protests can happen in brazil as well from the election day. the inauguration of lula and the interruption of democracy. >> were jair bolsonaro to make such a call to allege fraud, the relevant parties would listen and take note of what he said and act on it? i mean the military and significant individuals on the political landscape? do you think they would say let us not go down that road and block his attempt? >> i think the president is ready to not accept the results among the upper class.

what happens is jair bolsonaro has many radicalized voters. of these social movements, they are waiting for a statement from jair bolsonaro. if the president says something, that there was fraud, we should count the votes again, something like that, it is going to feed into the narrative of the radicalized groups and that could be dangerous for brazil. >> we have to wait until the president does speak and find out what he says. thank you in the meantime. thank you. the ukrainian army service more than 50 cruise missiles were launched by russia in targets in seven regions across the country today. the result of these attacks have been sweeping blackouts and cuts the water supplies including

around 80% of residents in the capital of kyiv. several of those muscles were shot down, 13 people were injured in the strikes and they have beeraising fears about how people manage during the cold winter months ahead. these strikes throughout the course of the month of october have already destroyed about one third of ukraine's power stations. >> once again the ukrainian capital was woken by the familiar sound of russian airstrikes. moscow launched over 50 missiles on monday targeting critical facilities across ukraine including kyiv. the city's mayor says 80% of the capital is without running water and many areas without electricity. >> we heard a voice and then something flew over and we heard the sound of the explosion. >> we worry because of the cold winter coming.

we may not have electricity or heat supply. >> further east in kharkiv, there are further bombardments on energy facilities. these commuters are stuck underground as the metro went to a halt. >> there were two explosions at infrastructure site in kharkiv. >> russia has launched a marriage of attacks on ukraine's civilian infrastructure. 's analysts estimate of vladimir putin's strategy is to deprive ukrainians of water and electricity ahead of the cold winter. moscow said monday that they were successful. >> the armed forces continued strikes with a and sea bass weapons against the military command and energy systems of ukraine. the goals of the strikes were achieved. all designated targets were hit. >> ukraine's prime minister says

18 facilities, most of them energy generating or are struck in 10 regions across the country -- were struck across the country. >> they have been allowing the shipment of grain through a safety corridor it was broken by turkey and the u.n., it is critical to easing the food crisis. moscow said it would stop participating in the deal as it has accused kyiv of a massive drone strike on his black sea fleet. despite russia's decision, two cargo ships are reported to have left ukrainian ports during the course of monday. what does turkey make of all of this given his role in the deal? we go to jasper in ankara. can that deal go on without russia's participation? >> i think it can.

what happened today, according to the ukrainians,2 ships sailed from their ports. it shows that russia is capable of protesting the steel and on the other hand acquiesng to thsaving othe ships -- sailing of these ships. russia suspended its role of the grain ships. russia has not actually imposed a blockade. it has not got its warships in the black sea to fire shot across the bowels of these grain carrying freighters. officials are inspecting the ships and give them the green light to sale and informing the russians that the ships will be sailing. these ships that sailed today carried 350,000 tons of grain. the most in any single day since the deal was signed in july. they are catching up for the

fact that no ships sailed yesterday because of the suspension. the question is why did russia allow the movement of the ships today? i think it is because the president knows that if russia stops those ships, wheat prices will rise and people will go hungry, and russia will be blamed. the countries that depend on ukrainian wheat will refuse russia -- accuse russia of causing a famine. late today, the russian defense ministry issued a statement saying that the ceiling of the ships today was an acceptable -- sailing of the ships was unacceptable. this is upsetting. we do not know what is going to happen tomorrow or the day after. i think there is a good chance that ships will be sailing in

the next two weeks because the political value of the steel to rush in terms of international support is worth more than what russia will gain by denying ukraine the opportunity to earn money by sailing wheat. >> dozens ideal expire late in november -- thousand that ideal expire late in november? what happens after the formal expiration of the deal? >> it does expire on novemb 19. it was signed for 120 days and the russians have en incating they e unhappy with the deal. today, russian -- turkish president said higovernment would work flat out to keep this referring to th suspension, he says russia behaves hesitantly

because it did not receive the same benefits as ukraine. this is true. ukraine makes a lot of money. so far, it sol 9.5 million tons of grain to the rest of th world. russia has been making a little money because of the sanctns on russia prohibit it from using these ships to export their products. for the deal to be renewed on november 19, it has to become a fair deal from russia's perspective. has a parameters of the deal have to be revised so that russia sees that they have news lucrative to russia. the u.n. secretary general called for western countries to allow more russian products to be exported through these deals. that is politically difficult

for the west because the west is in the mode of tightening sanctions on russia, not loosening them. if the west wants to come it could make conceptions -- acces exceptions. many believe this appeal is so important to the world that exceptions should be made. >> thank you for that update. thank you so much. >> more than 150 people are known to have been killed in saturday night's crushed in the korean capital. the death toll could rise as more than 30 people are in a critical condition in the hospital. amongst the dead are known to be 26 foreigners who have been identified so far. funerals have been held for some of the victims but i missed the shock and the sadness, there is a sense of anger with many asking how could this have happened? we are in seoul withhe

latest. >> in the mood here is extremely somber. i expect an exchange student who had lost a friend on saturday evening. she herself stayed in her dorm room that night so she was not in the area. as the news came through, her family was worried sick. she came here today with her fellow students from the exchange program. they were inconsolable as you can imagine. two korean women in their 30's said they had dinner plans on saturday evening that were canceled so they did not actually go there that night. they came here to pay their respects because they could have been them and they were in shock and said they did not want to return to the area anytime soon. they are feeling very spooked. it was a tragedy.

there has been a nonstop stream of mourners paying their respects, laying down words of condolences. this is one of 17 public mourning spots that have been erected nationwide. >> and weak tomorrow will be election day in the u.s. midterms in which voters will be given the chance to decide who controls congress for the next two years. the democrats are encouraging people to take advantage of early voting in order to maximize turnout. we will be examining the key issues in various different estates in the united states. who will be in minnesota in the city of minneapolis to be precise where racial issues and discriminatory practices are a top concern among voters.

>> in may 2020, minneapolis became the symbol of police violence in the u.s. following the murder of george floyd at the hands of a white officer. since then, four other unarmed black men from the minneapolis area have been killed by police. among them is daunte writ who was shot and kled during a traffic stop in april of 2021. >> he still got profiled by the police. >> i never thought nothing would like this to happen -- we never thought anything like this would happen. we are not doing back to people. we are decent people. this was not supposed to happen to us. >> when right try to get away from officers, he was fatally shot. the officer said she mistook her gun for a taser was found

guilty for manslaughter. >> police are trained for the way that the system works if my son had blonde hr and blue eyes he would still be living today. >> a third of minneapolis's police officers have left the force. as a promote -- the police department has focused on regaining the trust of the community. >> i have been intentional in reaching outo communities because a lot of them do not know us. they see the uniform. they think of what happened on that day. we are people too. >> the minnesota department of human rights showed the minneapolis police department had a patterof racial discrimination >>. >>that bothers me. that we have a pattern of discrimination. from what i see here and what these officers are doing and

what i am doing, yes. there is the incident and some history. understand that. i do not believe personally, i do not believe that is us and that is not what we are trying to do. >> in may, joe biden signed an executive order to force law enforcement agencies to revis use of force does not apply to the 18,000 state and local agencies. >> he came off of the energy of the black lives matter movement and he met with george floyd's family but he has not passed meaningful police accountability legislation. i need black men to come out and vote. we did economic justice and we need the police to stop killing us so that if you can ensure that, they can vote for you. if not, we look in a different direction. >> blacks represent 25% of those killed by police this year, a disparity that could cost

democrats part of the crucial black vote. >> let us get a check on the top business news stories. let us begin with rather troubling new data with regard to the inflation situation in europe. >> it is hitting a new record in october, 19 countries that share the euro as their common currency, prices in the eurozone is 10.7% higher than they were one year ago. a new gain over september's 9.9 percent rate. we see skyrocketing energy costs which are up 42%, food prices are of more than 14%. the baltic e seeing rates over 20%, the netherlands are saying 16%, many attempts are trying to

>> joe biden s, a major oil companies to put recent record profits back into increasing production and bringing down costs for consumers. the white house said the u.s. president is a propose a windfall tax penalties on those profits along with other restrictions if the firms do not do so. last week saw u.s. oil giant exxon mobil post record breaking profits. chevron reported 11.2 billion dollars in net profits, hitting as all-time record set in the previous quarter. those gains driven by skyrocketing energy prices meant russia's were on ukraine, biden's call comes through for midterm elections with high gasoline prices a key driver of inflation. what we see this is driven by corporate profits.
