significance of what happened to lula and then who the person, the handpicked lula is?>> i met with noam chomsky after that meeting. we talked a lot lula about the dynamics brought up to this point. this brought us to this point. the dynamic is so similar to what is happening in the u.s., the u.k., and in western europe where you see this spread of extremism and this rise of right-wing fanaticism. the media outlets in the establishment factions that have laid the groundwork for its rise refused to take in a responsibility. and that is definitely the case here in brazil, where a very allegorical media is in the hands of a small number of very rich families. has created the climate in which bolsonaro's victory is possible. even though these journalists themselves are afraid of a notonaro win and are supporting him, they continue to endorse the narrative, which is the biggest asset bolsonaro for, which is the idea that the workers party and bolsonaro are opposite sides of the same coin. you left and right wing dictatorships and both are equally bad. pt ran this country for

even former president lula da silva was caught up in the scandal. still lula remains one of brazil's most popular politicians polls indicate that if he could run for president he probably beat portugal noddle. was convicted on several charges including receiving a seaside duplex apartment from a construction company. in april twenty eighth seen six months before the presidential election luna was arrested and taken to prison. but. more so not all supporters gathered outside the jail to celebrate. but lula still had enormous influence over his political party and he believed he could run for president despite the fact that he was behind bars. outside the prison a number of lula's followers set up a makeshift protest camp. many of the maintained that he should still be allowed to take part in the presidential campaign. no support among farmers is particularly strong oh that. was in the service of a salute. because they could move the sand we're absolutely convinced that the laziness is recession more than the service in the right wingers have orchestr

amounted to soft coup that were supported very directly by the united states by the way and had lula da silva not been in jail had he been able to run. for office he would have won with about eighty percent of the vote and so this was really a coup by the right wing. and they are now in control of the government in brazil and i think are very open about the fact they're willing to use the military to exert their will in their country. well some of the polls in brazil are showing that only about about twenty at least twenty five percent of people who voted for both did it not because they supported his vision but to punish the sort of politics as usual in fact example exit polls actually said that because you know it's mandatory or compulsory voting there that thirty percent of voters cast either blank votes or abstained completely is this more of what we've seen from the bronx that vote the election of trump in the u.s. and and show that these votes are about really the system is broken these governments are broken and not about sort of turning back the clock to these. these earlier

translation: lula da silva was the best president we ever had.er had. everyone, notjust the poor brazilians. the rich only like the reach here in brazil. i do not see what this bolsonaro has to offer, not even with a knife held to my neck and a revolver held to my head when i vote for him stop weight not far away, we visit a community of slave descendants, a group that bolsonaro has singled out as being lazy and not fit for procreation. they are fearful of what is to come. for the past ten years or so, poor communities in rural areas like this have been given access to light and electricity. over there, there is a water tank where the community has free and easy access to water. they all services that were given to them under the workers‘ party under the former president lula da silva. they benefit is that many worry could get taken away. translation: he talks about ask as it were out on walls, he has shown his government will be one that violates the rights, and we will have nobody to appeal to. the workers‘ party made mistakes, but at least it

and had this lula the unlikely candidate has little time to convince the undecided that he wouldn't be the puppet of an imprisoned former president. time's posts hanspeter thank you very much the fight then is set to be the highest earning u.f.c. contest in history is officially on after both fighters made the weights in las vegas on friday former champion khana mcgregor is back in u.f.c. after a two year break in which he switched to boxing for a battle against floyd mayweather jr the irishman is up against the man who has ruled the lightweight division in his absence the undefeated cup be a been on the go but off of russia you have seen journalist nick pete was at the weigh in he told al jazeera that the caliber of both fighters as well as mcgregor's showmanship was going to mean a big payday for the sport. well this is on paper this is the toughest challenge of mcgregor's korea guys twenty six oh no there's no blueprint to beat to be he's never lost the fights and don't show up in the highest possible level he's in the u.f.c. he's the u.f.c. champion doesn't get me tougher than this

with lula, we were recognised as citizens. we were able to study, work, retire.principle analyst for the americas at the risk consultancy verisk maplecroft. good morning to you. you specialise in brazil. two very different plans, one sort of tax and spend, the other cutback and privatise. which seems like the least bad option at the moment? in terms of the economic recovery, i mean, neither of them are the market's favourite. so in terms of who investors might be supporting, they will be choosing who is the least bad option. but either option also brings its additional risks further down the line. so on the side of bolsonaro, when you are looking at responsible investment and esg risk exposures, those will rise as well. when looking at haddad, the problem comes on the fiscal side and the idea of greater spending. on the fiscal side and the idea of greaterspending. neither on the fiscal side and the idea of greater spending. neither plan will be investors‘ favourites at the moment. but one of them has got to win. absolutely, so what we are looking at in terms of w

by their attack against still maya and lula disengaged and it's strange that they were awarded for that. by this vote but yeah i do think that there's going to be a lot of buyer's remorse amongst the voting population and you're going to see that very quickly you know it's interesting when you look at like the you know when governments are leaders kind of want to push something the populace doesn't necessarily want one of those controversial ideas that you know expand gun ownership in brazil to combat crime but polls show that most people there don't support that. will it matter at the other day when it seems that the left and the right voting blocks in brazil want something done about the crime rates but you know their leaders are going to do the exact opposite of what they ultimately want and we see that across the border around the world you know why is there such a detachment here do you think even in countries like brazil from like the leadership to the people and what the people ultimately want. well again under under the presidency of louis silva brazil actually did a very good j
