——jair bolsonaro. they criticism of lula, and millions agree. —— jair bolsonaro.orkers' party is responsible for the political and economic problems visual has suffered in recent years. this deep hatred towards him is what propelled far right mr bolsonaro to power in the first place. michael fox is a freelance journalist. he was at former president lula da silva's release from prison. he's in curitiba brazil now. so, pretty jubilant scenes so, prettyjubilant scenes there when he came out. his supporters certainly very happy. what do you think he is going to do now? well, what he says, he is on his way, if he has not already in sao paulo, in his home town, which is where he kind of got his start there at the abc metal workers union. he is expected to hold a bigger rally there tomorrow, do a longer speech. he spoke this evening for about 15-20 he spoke this evening for about 15—20 minutes. he is expected to speakfor 15—20 minutes. he is expected to speak for much longer tomorrow. and he says he is planning to tour the country. that is what he was doing in early 2018

now, bolsonaro over the last two days has been completely silent.ind of scurried away from a press scrum earlier today, but some of his top people, they're kind of split on the issue. some of them do say that this is going to be a boost for bolsonaro, because he is going to have someone to rail against. he's going to have a big, major enemy that he can fight and rally his own troops behind. other people say this is really not going to be so good for them, because lula is such a charismatic figure in brazil. he is so important in the country. lifted millions out of poverty, one of the most highly—approved of presidents in history. and in fact, he was the man who was pretty much going to be swept into power last year until he was blocked because of this corruption charge. and so some of his other advisers fear having lula out, and really rallying his own troops in favour of the left. michael, of course, we have to remember, he is charismatic, yes, he's free, but he hasn't been exonerated, has he? no, he hasn't. and that's a very important point. he is

president trump is close to jair bolsonaro -- in fact, bolsonaro 's call the trump off the amazo. what are you calling f for here? >> we are calling for a rigorous inindependent investigatition io the murder of paulo paulino guajajara, which is part of a growing trend of violence against indigenous peoples in brazil. 135 indigenous peoples were murdered in 2018 according to brazil. that was 23% increase over the previous year. this year we are expecting to see enormous spike in this kind of violence. and the impunity that comes with it. so we need to see rigorous governance installed in these territories that are falling victim in the communities are falling victim to violence, to impunity, to destruction, to the reckless expansion of the agribusiness sector of logging mafias. we need to see the state stepped in where it has been soberly absent to address this crisis, which is a human rights crisis, crisis for humanity because of the implications of the destruction of the amazon and its peoples that are fighting to defendant. the guajajara are one of the great hopes of the amazon

this cleared the path for bolsonaro's victory. at the time of his imprisonment in april 2018, lula was leading the presidential polls. well, for more, we are joined by the brazilian filmmaker petra costa. her new documentary "the edge of democracy" chronicles the imprisonment of lula and the impeachment of former president demo rousseff, and the story of the dictatorship and the democracy about the same age as our guest, the brazilian filmmaker petra costa. welcome back to democracy now! before saw you right lula was releleased. it was a total shock. can you respond? was very moved but also worried because the abuse has been so consistent over the last five years that it is hard to know how long this decision will last. it is a very necessary decision that goes back to our constitution in 1988 which says anyone has the right to exhaust their appeals before they are imprisoned. that was revised in 2016 due to large pressures of operation car wash, the corruption .nvestigation led by judge moro and now the supreme court, i believe i

certainly hoping for a shift in tone but it would be a backtrack, because president bolsonaro campaigned of opening up the amazon to economic interest, when we first saw fires happening, the government denied anything was happening and they fired the head of the agency that release the data, so very hopeful that today's meeting will see a shift in approach from the government, but not holding out too much hope. thank you very much. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. emirates has confirmed it has finalised an agreement to buy 30 787 boeing dreamliner airplanes. based on current list prices the deal is worth $8.8 billion — with the first aircraft being delivered in 2023. two days ago, emirates also signed an agreement to buy 50 airbus a350 planes for $16 billion. reports from malta say that one of the island's top businessmen, yorgen fenech, has been arrested. it comes a day after malta's prime minister said he would recommend a pardon for a man who murdered a local journalist if he revealed who ordered the assassination. the journalist, daphne ca ruana galizia

the bolsonaro government would say and has been saying that this figure really is nowhere near as highny laws. right, it's not as high as it was back there, but then, many, many measures, many policies were implemented that dropped deforestation by a little bit less than 5,000 square kilometres in 2012, so what bolsonaro has done is he removed — his government removed lots of mechanisms that were there, in place, to reduce deforestation so the prospects are not great for the following years. yes, i was going to ask you — where do you see things going from here? so, i see that until the government doesn't refer to this anti—environmental agenda and puts in place very concrete and effective policies, we are not going to reduce deforestation. the trend is that it will keep going up. if we look at the alerts for the following period, we can see that from august to october, there was already an increase of 100% in the area with deforestation alerts, showing that there is a trend of deforestation going up and up again. a tiny piece of literary history has sold for more than $500,000 in paris

however the president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, believes other countries had overblown the situation. translation: the situation. at times, certain countries translation: at times, certain countries use the environmental agenda with the human rights agenda to interfere in domestic issues of third—party countries. sometimes they manipulate the environmental stories, which is precisely what happened in our case against zilman recently. i'm nowjoined by gervais williams, who's the senior executive director of miton group. welcome, good morning, thanks for coming in. when it comes to the amazon, how important is it when it comes to financial decisions for big companies? does it play a part now we are increasingly aware of the destruction and the impact that's being brought? the financial industry has been interested in making investments on a long—term, sustainable basis and this has been avoiding things like tobacco. what's interesting about the last few years is the whole environmental issue has become hugely more important for clients and fund managers, and particularly we are seeing

bolsonaro ultimately was victorious. de silva can't participate politically until he overcomes those challenges through the convictions, but what does this do for the tension inside the country, given we have also seen bolsonaro's own popularity plummeting? >> that is correct, we have seen his popularity fall. an inflection is point for the left in brazil. asy will take the release this momentum to unify themselves in this fight they have for social causes and inequality in brazil. --hink this is also a year he is not going to be able to engage in politics, not going to be able to be a politician himself again or run for anything political, but he will be a vocal voice. >> and he doesn't have to, he can become a vocal voice and speak ahead for others to rally behind. definitely -- he seems to be, based on what we saw after his release in his speech with his supporters and constituents, that he is going to become that spokesperson for the left and the figurehead for the left movement in brazil. >> thank you so much. valen

brazil's presidentjair bolsonaro has accused actor leonardo dicaprio of "giving money to set the amazone no evidence for the allegation. in an instagram post, mr dicaprio, who has pledged five million dollars for the amazon, denied mr bolsonaro's claim — saying, "we did not fund the organizations targeted." the brazilian president has previously accused some ngos of starting the fires that broke out earlier this year, in order to receive more money. several people have been arrested, including four volunteer firefighters, amid allegations they started fires to generate ngo donations. for more on this we can talk to dom phillips. he's a freelance reporter for the guardian newspaper based in rio dejaneiro. this sounds extraordinary. we should just say that these allegations by mr bolsa narrow do not appear to have any evidence behind them. know andi have any evidence behind them. know and i think we fit into a wider context that he has been making unfounded accusations pretty much since figures show an increasing deforestation in the amazon began to emerge and back then he said that forei

that dropped deforestation by a little bit less than 5000 square kilometres in 2012 so what jair bolsonarogovernment re m oved lots done is he removed, his government removed lots of mechanisms that were there, in place, to reduce deforestation to the prospects are not great for the following years. yes, i wasn't going to ask you, where do you see things going from here? i see that as soon as the government refers to this —— before this government puts in place effective policies, we are not going to reduce deforestation. the trend is it will keep going up. if we keep -- if is it will keep going up. if we keep —— if we look at the alerts for the following period, we can see that from august to october, there was already a decrease of 100% in the area with deforestation alerts, showing there is a deep —— a trend of deforestation going up and up again. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. a tiny piece of literary history has sold for more than half a million dollars in paris. it's a miniature magazine by the author, charlotte bronte. lucy williamson has the story. inside this ti

are we at the scary tipping points jair bolsonaro thanks, t, mark, thanks an opportunity to be here withall of you. i think we're all here because of these fires and d is for station the spinning news in the amazon over the past several months -- deforestation, , peakg in the summer in august. it's important to put a bit into the context, fires occur all the time within the region, part of land clearing. i think it's really important though to know in brazil in 2019 these fires were not induced by climate change. they were not driven by drought. through the end of august this year the 2019 try season, which is over now, was about 50% wetter than what we've seen in the previous few years. yet on average we had about 50% more fires during the same time. so the fires were not driven by drought. the drought season, , the number of dry days were fewer than the past. the fires, naturally first thing i want to take on from here. the second thing is these were fires that occurred deliberately for the purpose of deforestatio deforestation, for the purpose of land clearing. most of that, and when

the only president who did not arrive was president bolsonaro. but president bolsonaro was having an operation. he called into the meeting. and out of that gathering came something called letitia pact, which has now been activated, not with solutions, but activated in terms of a conversation amongst the heads of state and the ministers of environment, in terms of how do they collaborate, in terms of dressing the invasion, the burning, the fire, and the damage, within the amazon itself. and so they have actually, president duque has actually put together a small task force, a small group of people, to actually come up with recommendations, as to pathways forward. and there are a few things that emerge, as kind of essential ingredients for solving these challenges. one is realtime and accurate data, where are fires, and how do you deploy in realtime brigades to put out fire. another was put together a significant fund for investing in reforestation, because reforestation not only increases the carbon absorption but also creates livelihoods and jobs

following what you've already got about a lot of controversy and international fronts, president bolsonaro sent in the army and declared a 60 day moratorium on fire in the region, which point fires stop being set. and the fires diminished and ultimately the dry season ended. but government support is responsible for both starting and ending this problem this year. so it's not climate, deliberate turned on and off by government action and inaction. work asked for me to say something about this issue of tipping points that is, in the news quite a lot, and suffice to say it's a very complex. around the science, but the consensus as more and more data are emerging is that we are very, very close, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the basin to tipping points where the combination of land-use change and climate change will mean that forest will not grow back. we are seeing the conversion of large areas and tropical forests, savannah like tropical ecosystems over the coming years. so having said that depressing statement, i will turn it back over to you. >> let turn to monica. mon
