between him and lula, i perform lula. -- prefer lula. we just want a quiet life with a decent job. the campaign has been personal. lula used bsonaro's love of guns to offer a more peaceful future to the violent country. bolsonaro is a man accused of attacking democracy. he has long cast doubt on brazil's voting system. this week is party claimed with no evidence that sunday's ballots could be fixed by government workers. e elections have been billed as the most important since brazil returned to democracy in 1989, and more than 30 years on, the very essence of democracy is still being debated. it shows how deeply polarized the country is. many here have given up on politics. >> we are going through a really difficult time. we don't have money or jobs. politicians say so much, but do very little. we are disillusioned. >> i am voting for lula because out of the two worst candidates, i think the best would be lula. >> whoever wins will lead brazil down very different paths, but either won't -- either road will be bumpy as hunger, paula -- poverty, and insecurity continue to rise. katy

polls show lula has a strong lead over bolsonaro but it remains unclear if lula has enough support tohe 11-way race outright. if no candidate receives 50% of the vote on run-off will be held sunday, a on october 30. lula served as president from 20 theory -- 2003 to 2010. during that time, he helped lift tens of millions of brazilians out of poverty. he is then running on a platform to reduce inequality preserve the amazon rain forest, and protect brazil's indigenous community. in 2018, he was jailed on trumped up charges paving the way for the election of j or bolsonaro retired military , a officer who has spoken favorably about brazil's former military dictatorship. there is widespread fear in brazil that bolsonaro could attempt to stage a coup if he loses the election. earlier in the campaign, bolsonaro said -- "only god will remove me. the army is on our side. it's an army that doesn't accept corruption, doesn't accept fraud." during thursday night's debate, luiz inacio lula da silva criticized bolsonaro's efforts to keep secret many of his governments actions, including his handl

and you'll have people who are bankers, all of them supporting lula. now because i eat the question of salvation of national home base, i am bracky, you know, i'm an old guy so i have to be every both. so i don't think he'll win. i don't think he said you can. but if you would, when brazil, as we understand the longer mr. marine, thank you so much for joining me on up for. thank you very much. all right, that is our show upfront. we'll be back next week. the ah ah ah ah with stories of hope and inspiration, short documentary use from around the world that celebrate coming and resilience in times of timely on how to select on now to their own country, the cost will cutting taxes, kick start the u. k. economy always britain, bracing our financial prices. central banks are hiking interest rates. we ask about the global impact, plus y movies from bali wouldn't normally would, fighting to stay in the spotlights or doing the cost on all just talk to al jazeera. we also do believe that women of afghanistan was somehow abandoned by the international community.

the crowd is excited to see their candidate. >> i am crazy for lula.l needs him because we are in the cage. when he was president before, brazil was in the same situation and it was devastated. we think he can do the same thing. our hope never dies. reporter: there are peoe of all ages here. those who voted for lula 20 years ago, and those who are voting for him for the very first time. it is the same politician. if lula wins, the president -- wins the presidency, it will be a very different brazil. out bolsonaro, chance the crowd. people here want change. the country is divided, and the future of brazil uncertain. katy watson, bbc news. jane: we will have more on the brazilian elections with a special show from rio de janeiro on friday and continuing coverage over the weekend. you can find more on the days news on our website and check us narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond james. narrator: funding was also provided by, the freeman foundation. by judy and peter blum kovle

lula, lula, lula until i die. the social programs lula put in place have had a direct impact on her family. >> because of lula, my daughter got a full scholarship to a private school. we didn't have to pay anything and now she has a degree and works as a tcher. i am very grateful to the lula government. and my husband managed to get a car, too. jane: but that is exactly what bothers aldo telles, farmer from the central region of mato grosso. >> his majority works very little, produces very little. it's not about giving things away. the spirit of the worker's party is to give things away to left-wing people. those people do not get out of misery. they are always captive to vote for them. jane: telles lives in bolsonaro territory, a farming community resentful of land distributions to the indigenous people, and left-wing government handouts to the urban poor. >> the problem is that lula is left wing. you must be aware of the problems in venezuela, the problems in argentina now, and so many others that are doomed to

will be lula.ns will lead brazil down a very different paths but either road will be bumpy as hunger, poverty and insecurity continued to rise. katy watson, bbc news, rio dejaneiro. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: in all russia's turmoil, it has never quite come to this. out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of it was his humility that produced this man, israel's right—winger ariel sharon, visited _ the religious compound, - and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy- sites, an idea - that's unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. this is bbc news. the main story this hour: as russia prepares to announce the annexation of occupied regions, the us says it will never recognise its claims to ukrainian territory. let's stay with that story. president biden has warned russia that the united states will nev

the press pack arrived and found lula in the middle of the rainforest.ove, given that lula's running against a man who's accused of destroying it. translation: the planet needs us to pay special attention. - we need to look after our forests, ourfauna, ourwater. but most of all, we need to look after our people. 20 years ago, lula came to power promising to be a new kind of president — one who looked out for the poor in this deeply unequal country. with booming commodity prices, he had money to spend and he used it to lift millions out of poverty. that legacy was eroded as his party and lula himself was hit by corruption scandals and a prison sentence. the charges against him may have been dropped, but people are divided. some still see him as the saviour of brazil, others merely a corrupt politician. but he didn't respond to that when i asked him how he'd win over his critics. instead, he wanted to talk about crime in the amazon. translation: the murders of dom philips and bruno pereira| can never be repeated. brazil needs to be transformed into a civil

so i interviewed lula from prison. i couldn't tell him what we had by that point because we were ready to report it, but he was obviously protesting is innocent and then needless to say once we begin doing a reporting that proved that the judge that had convicted him the prosecutors who had prosecuted him were all along quite corrupt. he was freed from prison three months after we began the reporting. he was very grateful. he i was the first phone call that he made when he got released in prison when he got home to san paulo calling me to thank me. he publicly was very appreciative, but you know, my my husband belongs to a party, that was born out of opposition to the workers' party. they kind of criticized pt from the left. and so the way you say the green party criticized the democrats. it was a party that protested the workers' parties corruption. so our political connection was never so close. i was never a supporter of the worker's party, but you know when someone's reporting gets you out of prison and then that r

lula.ve every day. the campaign has been personal. lula's has used bolsonaro's love of guns to offer a more peacefulfuture for this violent country. meanwhile, bolsonaro is a man accused of attacking democracy, he's long cast out of brazil's voting system and this week his party claimed, with no evidence, sunday's ballot could be fixed by government workers. these elections have been billed as the most important since brazil returned democracy in 1989. more than 30 years on, the very essence of democracy is still being debated, just showing how deeply polarised this country is. for many here, they've given up on politics altogether. translation: we are going through a really| difficult times. we don't have money orjobs and politicians say so much but do very little. we are disillusioned. translation: i am voting for lula because out - of the two worst candidates i think the best will be lula. whoever wins will lead brazil down a very different paths but either road will be bumpy as hunger,

i asked if they said they would accept a victory by lula.y said, only it is -- if it is truthful. that is the question. what will bolsonaro do if he los? what will his supporters do? that's the big question in the coming months. >> what is the burning issue in this campaign? what kind of a vision for the future is lula da silva offering? or is it kind of a back to the future? >> lula is an interesting case because he for so long has been the president who saved brazil. the poor in brazil. that is what he was famous for. he gave a voice to the previously vceless. he lifted millions out of poverty. he helped commodity prices. he spent money to try to help so many poor people here in this deeply unequal country. i was at a campaign last week where he was in the biggest city in the amazon. there was no question the amazon is top of the political agenda. lula knows he is up against a man that has been accused of destroying it. so, climate, the amazon, those are probably one of the key issues in the campaign. for people in brazil, it's the economy

as president and lula was successful. her bill was not in the crisis that followed allow or create of the conditions to for the election all by right wing populist president, ball show model who is finishing all his term a very low approval rating. while president law has a relatively high approval rating at this moment, president lula, the former president, has about 52 percent of the preferences. so now we have 36 percent. so there is a chance that the election would be resolved in the 1st round this sunday. let's talk a little bit more about the current president, jo, boston, our because his party has attacked the voting system a lossy days in this election, that the whole integrity of, of the elections. how much of a concern is that that he may take a page out of a former president, donald trump's a playbook and question. if he loses a question, the whole thing and not recognize it, many people in brazil expect that to happen. both sonata has never had the original idea in his life. he has always try to copy from who

a lula government and a continued bo scenario government? is it really clear to the voters that they've got different plans? i think in the public debate, it's less clear. i think when you read the programs, you see that that one candidates both are not or is, is moral the same in terms of what he planned to do before, but he didn't deliver on to corruption. but there are many corruption scandals in his government that the most secretive governments, since the faith or shipping brazil don't know much, i think many things will come later. he also promotes the liberal economy but didn't believer that he broke on that the liberals wanted the either in brazil. so lola comes back with the, let's include people. let's also put amazon back at the amazon forest back into the, you know, priority was over the country. let's have a education and health as a priority for, for all. so i think it's a more inclusive set of proposals, but i wanted to say that that was to see a mention. we don't have enough patch that looked at in that. yeah, we're at the ve

the press pack arrived and found lula in the middle of the rainforest.ical agenda. a wise move, given that lula's running against a man who's accused of destroying it. translation: the planet needs us to pay special attention. - we need to look after our forests, ourfauna, ourwater. 20 years ago, lula came to power promising to be a new kind of president — one who looked out for the poor and he used it to lift millions out of poverty. that legacy was eroded as his party and lula himself was hit by corruption scandals and a prison sentence. but people are divided. some still see him as the saviour of brazil, over his critics. can never be repeated. assumes responsibility for really caring for people. this 24—year—old wants change more than anything. born here, she knows nothing else, although she does know who she's going to vote for. translation: i'm going to vote for lula because under him, - everything was easier. but i don't know if coming back, things will improve. the sun has set, but the hope hasn't faded. when he was president, before brazil was i

and this country will come back, you can probably go to, so there was corruption, president lula. you want to come back. what for you to keep doing the same thing. and petro, battle rice get a little bit there for the workers party, the worse off the people are the poor, the better for them to do politics off those. it will, if you so much. so you have to very different candidates that what would you like to know about them on today's show, we are going to be exploring key campaign issues and what's at stake for brazilians . you can do in a conversation right here in the comment section on you tube. ah, o i x, what expert panel? hello, elona. i be honest. this is so lovely to have all 3 of you here. we are going to unpack the upcoming elections. what's that state? what's going on in brazil right now in? no, no, welcome, please say hello to our audience around the world. thank your family. my name is elena zabel. i'm the co founder and president of they got up at you said to get to have you are diana, welcome. please say hello to audience. thank you for having me. there me. i'm at

but guess lula has a banner of poverty fighting against poverty. he was a poor man himself. he came from a very, very poor family that migrated from the northeast almost on foot and had you know, very little education and sort of like pulled himself out from the bootstrap's and became a new union leader. very well known love to global that he is a relatively well spoken man. i mean, he really has the power of words and resonates with people. but so does both in are completely different narrative, but he's also incredibly powerful in his speech. i be on i'm wondering what the atmosphere is like in brazil right now, fema weeks to go before the elections. what is at stake for sale at this point in terms of social conditions, living conditions, what might be possible depending on what happens on october. the 2nd well actually we are facing a very polarized environment right now. we're dan. sions are like all over the place. actually, i just hope that whoever gets elected, we have a little more space to debate peacefully because i see maybe there, there is a, arise of violent spe

if lula wins lula has promised that stronger policies in order to tackle those problems. deforestation, illegal mining climate, change your in brought on arafat ministration, illegal mining quadruple to in the country. and even though it was narrow, has said that he has done more than any other of his predecessors. it shows how polarized are diffused in this country by just into words. yes, there are there hopes that under a potential no less administration rather could fight stronger against climate change. thank you for dr. johan, you're hung ramirez in real digital and that is the day you'll find out more on the twitter either at d. w news or you can follow me at a film, gail, and of course at d, w dot com and the the w. i'm a good day, a great weekend with with he co india. the 0 waste break is as robust just concrete and confessed trash. foundry dust is the main recycled material away. ready product from metal production, which is usually dumped into nature, mixed in a bit of plastic ways. and it's done next on d, w. making the headlines and what's behind them. d. w, news, africa.

if lula wins lula has promised that stronger policies in order to tackle those problems. deforestation, illegal mining, climate change during brought on arafat ministration, illegal mining quite a fault in the country. and even though it was narrow, has said that he has done more than any other of his predecessors. it shows how polarized are diffused in this country by just into words. yes, there are there hopes that under a potential no less administration, rather could fight stronger against climate change. thank you for dr. johan, you're hung ramirez in real digital and that is the day you'll find more on the twitter. i've asked d. w. usually you can follow me at a fill gail, and of course d, w dot com and the the w. i'm a good day, a great weekend with a, with a making the headlights and what's behind them. d, w, news, africa. the show that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports on the inside of our cars, on the ground and reporting from across the continent. all the trans doesn't matter to you. in 30 min

that is mainly less to the nature of lula.t the reaction of the right wing against the left wing experience in brazil. and we have seen that mainly in terms of bolsonaro representing the embodiment of conservative values, summarized inis campaign as god nation in the family. there is definitely a lot at stake in that sense. mark: is it fair to say that those who are poor and not white will be voting lula, and those who are of the other denomination, the other descriptions, will be voting with bolsonaro? juan: there are three main groups of the population that are likely to support lula. that is, the very poor who still support lula. and will have to bring back what bolsonaro did during the pandemic, and that was a very unfortunate, not only a lack of attention and mismanagement, but also the misogynist approach of bolsonaro. put women away, so women are likely supporters of lula as well. in addition, as he said in the in -- as you said in the intro, the young voters are likely to support him. mark: we will wait to see how that

now we will find out on sunday whether or not either for president lula or president j. u. so now you are able to obtain that thresh hold a 50 percent plus one if they are unable to do so. the scenario that were expected that's likely to play out is a run off election that 2nd round of voting would take place at the end of the month on october. the 30th and these elections in brazil are being seen as some of the most divisive in the country's history. there's a lot at stake is and they're both nationally and for the rest of latin america. this election has, without a doubt been one of the most polarizing in the history of brazil. and a lot of that polarization is being driven by the rhetoric from the 2 leading candidates from presidential bull sonata. and from the former president luda on the one hand form the former president. 2 lula has been painting this picture of shay annabelle scenario as this far right wing anti democracy candidate. on the other hand, you have j bowles, so that was painting lula as a left wing radical who is threatening to push brazil and the rest of

now, what would happen if lula is not imprisoned? he will return to power and keep stealing is the ringleader of them all. he was convicted and imprisoned on charges of money laundering and corruption which he denied, but was released 18 months later when the supreme court ruled that all of louis convictions be an old. because of suspect procedural practices now, 12 years after he left office with more than 80 percent approval ratings in older.

in 2003 lula became brazil's 1st working class president. he introduced sweeping social reforms to combat poverty. and this distinction of working class brazilians from providing educational ruler to fresh water access for people like palmer gomez, mizzi or mile welcome. i began to love lula long ago, like a father, a hero, because honestly, he embraces the cause of the poor. emotional mass of housing projects also help lift 33000000 people from poverty during his 2 terms. which coincided with the boom and prices for brazilian commodities, brazil's economy sort, where there, if all was not well, nagging charges of corruption had long surrounded him and his political party. a multi 1000000000 dollar graph scandal exploded after he left office in 2010. just as the economy began, regressing ha, millions of brazilians turned on lula, demanding. he go to jail. now, what would happen if lula is not imprisoned? he will return to power and keep stealing is the ringleader of them all. he was convicted and imprisoned on charges of money laundering and

now, what would happen if lula is not in prison? he will return to power and keep stealing his the ringleader of them all. he was convicted and imprisoned on charges of money laundering and corruption which he denied, but was released 18 months later when the supreme court ruled that all of louis convictions be an old. because of suspect procedural practices. now, 12 years after he left office with more than 80 percent approval ratings, an older and perhaps more cautious lula has returned, promising to bring back better days, especially for the poor. the big question is, can he pull it off again to see a newman al jazeera guy dis, petnum book or brazil, gangsters, paradise wrapper.

yeah, i think that the, there is a likelihood that lula whims on the, on the 1st run, it will depend on abstention and the how the very few undecided voters roadside their vote. this presidential race has been one of the most polarizing in brazil's history. one thing voters here do agree on is that this election represents a critical battle over the future of latin, america's largest democracy, gagnen for them with political debates down the past elections of entered the final stretch about manuel rap alone al jazeera re alicia nato. that weighs in flight in sudan, have destroyed hundreds of schools, especially in rural parts of the country that fled to the post by meant to the start of his school. again, one out of 3 children are already out of school and there are concerns that more delays will increase that number him. morgan reports from casala in easton, sudan zane of a becker is helping her son ahmad, get ready to start the school year. he was due to start his 6th grade more than a week ago, yell affinity at the let them know that at the start of the school year has been postpo

that's why we need lula. this campaign event took place in what is supposed to be the stronghold of his rival jade wool. so nato was fighting for a 2nd term as president. that lula is even running at all is something that would have seemed unthinkable. 4 years ago when he was sent to prison on corruption charges, something he always denied. but then he always promised he would be back. to see an human al jazeera rio de janeiro, cubans have a singing a landmark referendum that could legalize same sex marriages an adoption. the proposed changes will also allow sargon pregnancies and give more rights to non biological parents. present. miguel diaz canal says the changes are necessary to guarantee the rights of all families. as scientists around the world awaiting the results of a crash in outer space, a satellite will collide with the hunk of rock millions of kilometers away. is testing an idea that may come in very handy a planet earth. reynolds explains a spacecraft is just hours away from impact with a far of

that's why we need lula. this campaign event took place in what is supposed to be the stronghold of his rival giant bullshit nato was fighting for a 2nd term as president lula is even running at all is something that would have seemed unthinkable. 4 years ago when he was sent to prison on corruption charges, something he always denied. but then he always promised he would be back. to see a newman al jazeera rio de janeiro, the british pound has plummeted to a wreck, hold low against the us dollar a loss, nearly 10 percent of its value since wednesday. the dive comes off to the case. new government announced its fiscal plan. prime minister list trust is administration unveiled, historic tax cuts funded by huge increases in borrowing world chess champion, magnus carlson, is calling out cheating in the game and the, scenting, he'll say more on a scandal that's rocks, the sport magnet stocks and just resign got up and left switched off his camera and that's all we know right now. while speech left them. that was

he's pulling behind his rival form of president lula da silva. in a few hours, the final television debate between the men will be broadcast as get more from manual rep hello, joins us live from. we have a janera money. what can we expect from the debate this evening that how important is it for undecided voters? lauren, this debate will mark the last time that the presidential candidates will meet face to face before brazilians. head to the polls on sunday, august 2nd. now, without getting mired down by the details and rules of the debate itself, there will be 7 candidates on that debate stage this evening, but ultimately it will come down to a choice between incumbent candidate, current brazilian president able to nato and former brazilian president lucy, nasty luna desilva both men are looking to pick up more votes by way of this debate . president bill. so nato is expected to be speaking directly to female voters here in brazil, knowing full well that former president lula is pulling better among of women voters here in brazil, a president bu

between the president, bolsonaro, and lula.e do see this as a two-horse race, but there were other presidential candidates in the televised debate. really what you are seeing and what you have seen in brazil is a little bit like what you have had in the u.s. over the years, and growing polarization on the left and right. and really it has just been building and building. you know, we are going to see voters go to the polls on sunday. we think it is going to be a win for the leftist, who was, of course, president, started his term 20 years ago. and on the right of course, bolsonaro. the polls are showing quite a large margin, but you do have questions over the reliability of polls at the best of times. and we are really going to have to see. the big question is going to be, can lula convince enough voters from the other candidates -- there are some other candidates in this race, in the first round , more centrist candidates -- whether lula can convince them to vote tactically for him. a lot of those voters for the more centrist

you lula da silva. why has both an arrow loss support? yeah, one reason is the base behavior during the corona pandemic. and what's an hours delay in buying vaccination doses? his and his dad play of the crisis and was really an issue for many people and it led to to satisfaction among society. another point is m, the most narrow err repeatedly attacked, the supreme court of brazil. and so many people are little bit scared because of this attitude and, and they, some of them won't vote him, won't it again for him after they will to firm in 2018. they might not do so in this year. all right, we just heard in the report that the bull scenario has already question the integrity of the voting system. if he loses, what do we think? will he go quietly? yeah, that might happen because his primary critics of the lecture electronic rewarding system is permanently happening in the last month. so his follows, as we heard today as well here, flo nobliss and they believe him and they won't accept maybe. and if wilson are, won't win the elections and 2
