and he is right now in brasilia, the capital of the counter and the headquarters of the federal government at war. he is going to wait for the final outcome. so, so far we were being presented with a neck and neck race. is this what we were expecting to see tonight? i mean, yes and no. i the beginning when we saw the fits were saw as variables in our was leading this presidential election with 7 percent of the votes. a when know that the countess were around 10 percent or something like that. so that was a surprise we got because during the last few months we were always a scene that pause where forecasting a, an important victory off loser the seal by with more than 15 points over both scenarios. so it was a bit of surprise when we sold those results. now we have to pay attention of the details of this kind of these votes. votes are counted in real time as they came into the electro system in brazil. and when we see the deep as those votes malta, most of them are coming from our re, as we're both on arrow, has an important support. it means that there are still many, many boats coming fro

expect them to concede -- him to concede tensions across the country, it was reported that today in brasiliabolsonaro had a meeting with the elite military forces of the country, but not the minister of defense, a former man after -- a former minister of defense was part. what they were talking about, we don't know it's. what we know is a couple of truck drivers who have supported the president very strongly during his whole administration have already blocked roads across the country. as we expect them to penn state, tensions -- conceived, tensions keep -- as we expect tensions to con cede. his supporters were asking the police and armed forces to take to the streets to prevent the lust from retaking power -- left from retaking power in the country. if bolsonaro does not concede, brazil could enter a dangerous path. >> he is scheduled to speak later today. despite the polarizing nature of the selection -- of this election, lula said he will govern for those brazilians, those who voted and didn't vote for him. how is he planning to go about that? reporter: he has known for being a good negot

that he stayed in their house of the, of the government and the headquarters of the government in brasilia, the capital of the country alone, that he didn't want even to receive his own ministers. on the closest person of his campaign. he was alone and it was reported a 3 hours after 9 to results. he went to bed alone, not and saying what he is going to do, so ok, it looks like with a loss. that's a line to your hon. ramirez in brazil will continue though with a response from germany. chantelle a show has congratulated the on the victory saying i'm looking forward to close and confidential cooperation with brazil, especially when it comes to questions about trade and climate protection. thomasville beholden, told me more about germany, a few of brazil's election result. he's a member of the german parliament for the opposition conservatives and leads the german brazilian friendship group. so i asked him how to do this victory. it would affect relations. i think it's a, it's a pain, but now is demographic connection has to be accepted by everybody is or asian from the inside. and then you'v

dr mercedes bustamante is an ecologist at the university of brasilia in brazil and told me about whatank you for having me, the first speech was quite important, he committed to get zero deforestation to curb illegal activities in the amazon region and also to protect the rights of indigenous people in traditional communities, these are quite huge challenges, especially because now we have a parliament, that is much more conservative than it was when lula was president before. again, we have hope that the executive branch now have more power, and it can get more enforcement of the environmental law into the regions so it can get the control of deforestation back. he said that he would try to get deforestation down to zero but he has been president before but he doesn't manage it then, what does he need to do now, is it even possible to get to that figure? in his speech he mentioned to get more international collaboration to save the amazon region, to know more what to do in terms of controlling the deforestation and how to use the amazon biodiversity to build a new bio economy for bra

first, let's go to manuel rob, hello, who's in brasilia forest. i love thee a results coming in thick and fast give us the latest on what we know and just talk us through briefly how, what the processes for this rod things are finally starting to move a bit quickly, a bit quicker than they were before the actual tally so far as 66.66 percent of the vote i, if you could see just over my shoulder, here's the screens just like these all around us. we are basically in the bullpen, inside of the, of brazil's supreme electoral electoral court. this is the body, the government body that is tacit, making a final determination over over today's vote. all around us, there are brazilian press. there are foreign press. there are current, former brazilian government officials or election observers from the european union, from the organisation of american states. everyone just about everyone's eyes are glued to these screens watching these election results coming in in real time. now i think many people here sort of share this idea that things are moving a bit

we heard from palo alfonso of the university of brasilia, who says the incoming presence primary tours should be to promote unity within the nation. portion of the gina, brazil society is really divided now, the elections were tense and the margin is very small. taking into consideration that a 120000000 people were voting, the incoming president has a huge task now to reconcile these 2 huge groups. over the past 4 years, about 10000000 people have become poorer, have crossed the income poverty line. the president must get people out of poverty, but to accomplish this task, unity must be achieved. the previous government turned out to be mismanaging leaders. for example, 700000 people died from corona virus. half of these people could have been saved. effect scenes had been purchased before was too late. russia even offered vaccines, but the government dragged its feet until it was too late. after louis victory, we can expect a positive reaction from the international community. i think international relations will improve. we have had bad relations in south america, but now everything

saw from our colleague lucito in south paulo things have wound down here in the brazilian capital brasilia. we are on the campus of the supreme electoral court, which is the public institution that's tasked with coming out with the official declaration of of the election itself. we've now heard from former president lula da silva. we've heard from presidential seattle even though just up into a few moments ago, president bull sonata was still sort of holding that infer more informal press conference, wasting no time getting back into the campaign mindset. the outline of the many accomplishments of his administration over these past few years, talking about the political alliances that, that he's making ahead of the upcoming round 2 of elections that are taking place at the end of the month on october 30th president bull. so not a we should know, this is a very kind of an interesting point that he made during this press conference following the results that were announced. president, bull seattle says that he was going to hold off on making any sort of statement regarding the outcome of the

he's joining us live from brasilia. so let's here was just talking through broadly the kind of of what, what's gonna happen over the next 20 days, but just talk us through the process because there is quite a specific set of steps that the, the country now has to go through is that that's right, and a will note that this is not as nearly of a lively seed as the one that we're seeing in south follower our colleague, lucy las here. newman is at. up until about an hour ago. we are at the electoral of the supreme electoral court in the brazilian capital brazilian until about an hour ago this place was just teaming with people was full of journalists, international press, current and former government officials, international elections observers from the european union, from the organization of american states, it's certainly starting to seems like it's starting to wind down at least the electoral court. the supreme electoral court is the main public institution that is tasked with making the determination over this 1st roun

oh, who's in brasilia for us at mighty. bring us up to date with the figures so far and talk us through the process that this is going to go through. rod things have finally started to move a bit faster than earlier today. there was a little bit of concern that things were moving along quite well. but let me give you these latest numbers here. as you can see over my shoulder here, these numbers are, are moving a lot faster, right now. the total number of votes counted stands at 94.88 percent with former president lou let the silver leading with 47.62 percent of the vote. and j are bull scenario trailing with 43.8. 9 percent of the vote. throughout the course of this afternoon, president lou former president lula. the silva was trailing behind. it was not looking good. and that changed a little over an hour and a half ago when the, when the, when it basically flipped as you could hear, the cheers are not here in this room. we are, let me give you a sense of where we are right now. we're essentially in the bull pen of the sup

one guy, lieutenant ali conner fired brasilia. it was fired into soviet made tanks. needless to say, that was disconcerting. eventually, north korean infantry came through. smith people were compelled to retreat. soldiers fell back and occupied a position in blue here on the map. we call it the pew son who remain are. we were able to stabilize things with american troops, the republic of korea troops and foreign powers. when the invasion took place, harry truman presented the issue to the united nations. fortunately for the united states at the time, the soviet union was boycotting the un. they were boycotting it because the peoples republic of china, it had been secured by -- in 1949, it was not admitted to the un. what happened was, the soviets boycotted. the u.s. was able to get it passed through the un, first statement condemnation for the act of aggression by north korea and then military forces from un nations to help protect and defend south korea. all told, 21 nations send either troops or personnel with expertise to aid the war effort. it's actually a united

we do know he is in brasÍlia and people, his staunch allies have been arriving.f his sons arrived. other close allies. there are protest happening around the country. we saw this last night on social media. this is also concerning. this is largely pertaining to truck drivers of people shutting down roads. still this morning we have five different states where roads have been shut down om bolsonaro's supporters who say they're not leaving until the military intervenes. there was a huge truck driving strike back in 2018. the truckers are often very much aligned with the far right. even back then i was in the streets and interviewing truckers at that time and they were calling for military to revenge and even at that time. of course we don't know what is going to happen. it is unlikely they have sport to be able to sustain themselves for long. they do say they're organizing around the country. many of the trucking companies are often time their own truckers and paying them to stay in the streets and be organized. so this type of destabilition measure is something we

>> the brasilia presidential executive judicial system right now, just the fact that it is a dividedin the election. he is right down the center and is going to have to govern from the center to bring the country together, the economy together. it is basically the north against the south. the whole northeast has voted in favor of the party in favor, so it is a very divided country and even will be very difficult to govern and impose some of his policies on climate deforestation, on the amazon, on women's rights, lgbtq rights. to kind of go back after 700,000 deaths during the virus, that is basically what happened, just a massive amount and handling by bolsonaro of the virus is something that is on a lot of peoples' minds. lisa a: we talked a little bit about the fears of social unrest, some of the potential violence. how do you look toward some of the social unrest that we've seen and parlay that into a market view? into understanding the impact that it will have on the economy? >> you obviously could go more in the direction of what brazil has been doing right now, electing a popul

let's go to teresa, who is in brasilia for us. interesting hearing from let's see a newman about newly putting his cabinet together. all this while we slept still haven't even had a confession from both nora yet that he's lost. what. what are his supporters saying? well, the situation is completely different of waterloo. thea was talking about how power line right at the presidential palace and there's absolute silence. there's very little activity where i am right now. we do know that when i do arrived very early in the morning that he's here in this building, but still nobody knows whether he's going to speak or not. we, you know, he has not completed the feed. he has not called the, you know, elected president, lot feedback and before he adds up the tension, you know, this is a precedent that question, this country's voting system. you chat the even beyond just to be involved in the counting process. so, you know, everyone is expecting the precedents words, you know, and as i said before, what the weight comes down a bit is the

so it's go straight to to reason boy who is in brasilia tourism. give us a picture of what's happening, where you are. well, this is a very contested election. there's lots of tension and lots of expectation about what could happen this sunday here i'm here at a school that's been turned into a polling station in the city of brazilian. people have been coming here steadily all morning to cast their vote with the seeing people wearing the yellow t shirts of brazil football national team that's closely associated with precedent idols. from now to what also people wearing a red t shirt that associated will let us leave us workers. florida was able to talk to some of the people coming here and there was a 99 year old lady who said, this is the most important election since this country. we try to re democracy back in the 1980s that democracy is at risk. and that's why she's here today. and then i was talking to some other people who were saying that there have to vote for j 8 also not because they don't want any type of corruption in this country that'

in brasilia we can bring in the see a newman who is in south pablo this year. we keep hearing how incredibly tight the race is, how close it is, each 5 ah, well, 1st of all, this has been all along a very dirty campaign, a very, very divisive one, and a very tense one. as you know, we're at the, at a holding station here where people continued to trickle in. but as my colleague that is more just mentioned, it hasn't been easy for many people on top of having the, the police in many areas, especially areas that are that supportive of the lula candidacy having difficulties getting to the polls. we're also hearing and there have been many complaints that public transport has been stopped in many places, including here in the state of south paolo which is the largest state in the country in terms of the voting population. so in all sorts of irregularities have been taking place and that could make a big difference in the confidence and in the outcome itself. as you know, now the polls have slight shona. let the seal on the left wing, former president as being ahead

the cuff of brazil would be in the general sense of the mood this election day. 7 the mood here in brasilia is quite calm. it's not quite as, as a, as a frantic scene, as we might be seeing in places like sao paolo and rio de janeiro, the larger cities. but there is a sense of that great importance. the need to be out in the votes since early the morning since pulls opened at 8. there were long lines at the polls. part of that having to do with the fact that the biometric scanners are being implemented. so that sort of slowed down the vote, but just moments ago here, outside of the supreme electoral court in brazil, the president of the electoral code court gave a statement saying that everything so far looks like it's operating as planned. there are very few irregularities of anything. once the polls close, there was a certain expectation that the result could be available within minutes. now, the president of the electoral court said that he does expect those results to be available very soon. he says that they're definitely going to be available before midnight today on sunday. but there

first, let's go to the sample who's in brasilia, teresa shoot celebrations. of course we've seen by luna supporters but still no concession as far as we can tell from charitable sonata well more certainly there will be huge celebrations in large parts of the country in the northeastern part. there were fireworks and people dan thing on the street. that's a strong hole for for now. president elect lula. fema also in the sense or how little thousands and thousands of people as my colleague, lucy newman, was reporting and also here in brazil. yeah. where we are right now, press and see, let's talk to the nation. he said that this was the victory of the brazilian people defending democracy. he also said that he was going to fight hunger. and the main objective right now was to unite the brazilian people that he was going to war for every one. but that's not going to be easy. this is a polarized country around 50 percent of the country not totally did not vote for him. they do not like him, they don't want to see him in office. they believe that he should be in pr

we have heard from some of his allies in brasilia, who are accepting the result, which is a positive: there was a lot of concern about potential turmoil give it a we have seen episodes of violence during the campaign. bloomberg economics but the cost of turmoil at $12 billion. >> we did not see the violence during the election today. there were bizarre things over the weekend, there were allies running outside of the streets with a gun. so far so good in terms of violence around the connection between the two sides, and we are just waiting for that one speech from bolsonaro. we hear he is headed to the presidential palace now, so we hope you will be speaking soon. shery: when it comes to economic policies unmentionables and our's influence in congress. does that mean lula's policies will not veer too much to the left? is this a positive in terms of markets ended investors in the business friendly environment? >> in the first round what investors are bolsonaro did much better than expected they were comment -- calmed by that that lula was not being given a blank check to do all kinds
