"And von der leyen go to China, not for the first time, jair Bolsonaro's trajectory is an uncanny echo of Donald Trump's are Switzerland's banks being overly discreet about certain Russian customers and seriously you have to at least pretend to enjoy it this week I've read that out loud again. Hello Andrew, today is any house affair. I'll give you a taster of the new monoco radio playlist. From the tiny new wave to Swedish fruity disco. That's all coming up right here on the briefing on monocle radio. And welcome to today's edition of the briefing with me Andrew Muller, French president Emmanuel Macron, and European Commission president Ursula von der leyen are both in Beijing meeting Chinese president Xi Jinping among other officials. Macron's expedition is ostensibly principally commercial. He has brought several dozen French business leaders with him, but nobody least of all president Xi is missing the diplomatic subtext these are the Ukraine. There is a common and not unreasonable perception at large that Russia's rampage will continue only as long as China permits. I'm joined with more on this by Suzanne lynch chief Brussels correspondent with Politico. Suzanne is this as it appears part of a concerted effort to win China round. We've also seen German Chancellor Olaf scholz and Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez visiting China reasonably recently. Yes, I mean, Macron's visit there should be seen in that context, but a significantly he's also invited the president of the commission earth of underlying come along too, although she has been a pain to point out she's not there in a state visit. She's having more limited meetings, but they have she is meeting Xi today with a Macron for about three way meeting. But yes, I mean, the issue for Europe is that everything else really, there are divisions. There are nuances. And Europe has a complex relationship with China in that it once on one hand to keep up the economic links it has in terms of trade and indeed improve them. And at the same time, it's mindful of pressure, particularly coming from the U.S. to be on their guards when it comes to China. Washington is obviously warning that China is now a major geopolitical vote and has its intentions in Taiwan are very worrying and has basically the message to not so called a message to Europe from the Americans has been behind closed doors. You built up dependencies on Russia and Russian gas over the years and look what happened, be wary, be careful. If you continue at a level of dependency that you've already had before with China. Well, on that thought, do you detect any serious rethinking, especially in the EU about this? We have heard from one EU foreign minister perhaps unsurprisingly, Gabriela's landsberg is of Lithuania who has been making exactly this point. About the ultimate unwisdom of developing an economic codependence with a regime like Beijing. I think some of the bigger countries don't really feel that. And the fact that it's Germany, it's France. It's Spain. They are the countries who have seen their leaders. Travel there in the last few months speaks volumes. And Chancellor schulz brought as senior business leaders CEOs with him on his plane to Beijing back in November and was kind of criticized for that. But macarons have done the same in the sense that he's accompanied by lots of business leaders. There's an Airbus deal in the offing we're trying to be buying Airbus planes. So they kind of interesting division now at this meeting today is that Vander lion has kind of cast herself as more of the hulk. And she gave a heart and a hitting speech a relatively tougher as speech than maybe she would have a few years ago about China last week. And that was basically telling China, you know, your role here. In your relationship with Russia, your role in Ukraine more we can't ignore that when we're looking at a relationship with you. So I think it's from the Chinese perspective. She's very much seen as bad cop and Macron as a bit softer. And perhaps as a strategy behind that with the two of them speaking to Xi, but she has definitely been seeing somebody hit closer to the U.S. angle at close to the national perspective to whereas Macron's job as leader of France is also, as he sees it to keep the commercial ties up and running and while at the same time his big hope that he's pinning on this trip is that he somehow encourages each play a more responsible role and be part of the whole discussion about peace in Ukraine. Well, on that thought, is it reading too much into it to suggest that there is an element of theater involved in Macron arriving with this posse of business leaders sort of suggesting that if China doesn't cut Russia loose, this is the kind of economic connection that you might end up losing. Yes, I think the French see it that way that they have some leverage. And I mean, but they also want to increase their own exports into China too. It's a huge market. I mean, with the EU is doing, I think this is across the block is that it's trying to reduce its dependencies. For example, on semiconductor on things like lithium critical raw materials. And those materials that go into lots of lots of objects, lots of electric cars, solar panels, anything like that that is coming from China, those global supply chains that we've seen develop over the last 20, 30 years or so. And Europe is aware it's become quite dependent in terms of that.

Nathan. Karen it is a historic moment in American politics and law for the first time ever a former U.S. president is facing criminal charges, a grand jury in Manhattan is going ahead with a case against Donald Trump over hush payments to a porn star during the 2016 campaign. We have team coverage for you this morning beginning with Bloomberg politics contributor she and Zeno, she says this will add fuel to a 2024 campaign for Trump that is already driven by grievance. His message has always been not just that he's a victim, but that is supporters are a victim, that this is a witch hunt, not just against him, but of them, and he always says if they can do this to me, they'll do this to you. Bloomberg politics contributor Jeannie Chanel, former federal prosecutor Robert mintz says it's a big political gamble for Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg. As a prosecutor, you better have all your ducks lined up, all your facts, all your witnesses set into place before you bring that indictment. On the other hand, they are racing against the political clock because they are not unmindful of the fact that there is an election coming up. Robert mince with the law firm mccarter in English, former president Trump's lawyer says he could be arraigned as early as Tuesday. While Nathan just moments after the news broke, the former president came out with a statement blasting the indictment we get the details with Bloomberg Jeff Bellinger. The former president came out swinging when he learned of the indictment, Trump said Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg is behind a political witch hunt and he called the indictment political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history. He went on to say, quoting again, the American people realize exactly what the radical left Democrats are doing here. Trump's attorney says the former president plans to appear before New York authorities, he has not been told about the specific charges. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg daybreak. Thank you, Jeff, Mike Pence is weighing in on the news. The former vice president tells CNN he thinks the prosecution of former president Trump is politically motivated. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter continues our team coverage. Pence says Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg ran on prosecuting Donald Trump. In a long time since I was in law school, but I remember the old saying, you can indict a ham sandwich. Right. The threshold, the burden of proof is very low. Prosecutors make decisions, discretionary decisions about what they bring all the time. Pence also says he will decide on whether to testify on the classified document in January 6th investigations in the next few days. In San Francisco, I'm Ed Baxter Bloomberg daybreak. All right, and thank you, but we're also getting reaction from Capitol Hill, as lawmakers worry about the potential for violence in the wake of the indictment, Amy Morris continues our coverage from the Bloomberg 99 one newsroom in Washington. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is calling for peace by both Trump's critics and supporters, California democratic congressman Eric swalwell says the indictment is a somber day for America and urged, quote, let us neither celebrate nor destroy. Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted, quote, the gloves are off, and that Trump is the only one standing in the way of tyrants. Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi says she hopes former president Trump will peacefully respect the justice system, current House speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted, the American people will not tolerate this injustice. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris. Bloomberg daybreak. Thanks, Amy. So now that this highly anticipated indictment has come down, what are the next legal steps for the former president? Bloomberg legal analyst June grosso has that angle as we continue our team coverage. In some respects, Trump will be treated like other high profile defendants. The Manhattan DA's office will work out a date and time for his surrender with his attorneys. Trump will be booked and fingerprinted and his mugshot will be taken like any other defendant. He'll then be escorted to the courtroom for his arraignment. But remember, unlike other defendants, Trump will have a Secret Service contingent with him at all times. And there'll be no need to discuss bail. Bloomberg's June grosso reports officials have been in contact with Trump's attorney to coordinate his surrender for arraignment. While Nathan, this historic case will not be an easy one for the judge who's eventually assigned to it, we spoke with former federal prosecutor Michael zelden. Well, it's going to be a big issue for the judge to make sure that the jury selection process is fair. To the defendant and fair to the prosecution and I expect that will take a long time. Michael zeldin is a former federal prosecutor and served as special counsel to Robert Mueller at the Justice Department, seldon points out that Trump's announcement run for president could complicate proceedings in the case. But this case is not the only potential legal well for Donald Trump, Karen and Bloomberg Steve rappaport joins us live in New York with those details, Steve. Good morning, Nathan and Karen. Other criminal investigations include a Georgia prosecutor and the Justice Department looking into possible election meddling. DoJ is also investigating the former president for storing classified records at Mar-a-Lago. On the civil side, Trump faces a defamation charge from a woman who claims he raped her, lawsuits from capitol police officers injured in the January 6th riot, and fraud cases related to property valuations.

That's when a republic airways flight crossed a runway without clearance putting it in the path of a United Airlines flight that had just been cleared for takeoff. Here's transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg. We ask you to help us address a number of questions. What is showing in the data and what is missing in the data? What are the root causes of the incidence that we've seen? What's working well? That we need to remember and continue maintain and reinforce. And at the same time, what are the new steps that need to be taken? The acting FAA administrator Billy Nolan says, while it remains safe to fly, officials have grown concerned as they've begun to see things that we don't expect to see. You'll soon have to apply for a Visa if you want to travel to Brazil. Brazil says it will reintroduce the requirement for tourist visas for citizens of the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Japan. Those new rules go into effect October 1st. The former president Bolsonaro had scrapped Visa requirements in 2019 to boost the country's tourism. But the U.S. and other countries still demand visas from Brazilians. The move is seen as an attempt by the new administration to reaffirm its role in foreign policy. Still to come, on WTO, the dramatic rise in deaths of American children, and teenagers. 1243

Ex-Brazilian President Bolsonaro Hospitalized in Florida
"Bolson Euros in a hospital in America. In Orlando. So he went to Orlando, the day before the inauguration or two days before the inauguration, when the invocation of one 42 and getting the military on board with forcing the audit by going to the courts using their military force to arrest the judges, which is a 100% justified given their evisceration of the constitution. Who judges the judges, right? Who watches the watchers? Well, the judges say, hey, nobody can judge us. We're above the law. Well, the military should have exerted a role that is given to them in the constitution to take that court by force to take the electoral machines and audit them and evaluate them for their veracity that the lowest party has put forward didn't happen. Bolsonaro went to Orlando. My guess is he was planning to go into exile somewhere America is probably not that safe for him. The State Department will extradite him quite quickly as well as the journalists who've been in hiding because they've been journalists arrested censored. This court has got run a muck with rule of law. It is like watching a Zimbabwe Mugabe style justice administration of justice. And I think that I think that it's not safe for Bolsonaro in the U.S. or any of the Brazilian journals who've been in exile here. So I do think that I don't know why he's in the hospital. I've seen reports from globo nothing's confirmed as to the details behind it.

"Of national news, Nancy Lyons is in 99 one newsroom in D.C.. Hey Nancy. Thanks, Tim, the new House speaker Kevin McCarthy is facing his first big task after days of fighting over his leadership tonight there will be a vote on a rules package, but Bloomberg government Emily Wilkins reports, even that could become contentious. There's a big question now whether that rules package could pass. Nancy mace has said she's on the fence, other Republicans have voiced other concerns about that package. And that will really kind of set the as wonky as it is in the weeds it is, it does set the tone, as well as the rules for who has power going forward, Bloomberg government Emily, welcomes reports moderate Republicans think McCarthy gave too much away to conservatives in his fight to become speaker. Brazil's capital is picking up the pieces in president Lula da Silva is promising more arrests after supporters of ex-president jair Bolsonaro, stormed government buildings in Brasília yesterday. Bloomberg's Rosalind Matheson reports, there are already questions of complicity in that uprising. There's obviously claims already that local police officers, local officials in Brazil, Brasília were complicit in this. It was done on a Sunday when things were ostensibly quite quiet. There weren't many police officers around, but equally there were rumors that this was coming. Bloomberg's Roz, Matheson, former president Bolsonaro, is in a Florida hospital being treated for abdominal pain. This is coming from a former aide who says the former president has undergone several surgeries after being stabbed in the abdomen, while campaigning in 2018. As many as a 100,000 California residents are dealing with power outages due to brutal storms and governor Gavin Newsom says it'll be a tough 24 hours.

Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed. On the latest edition of the tape podcast, a conversation with Alison Williams. A Bloomberg intelligence. This to me isn't a sign that Wall Street is massively rightsizing, more like Goldman Sachs is just getting back to business as usual and taking care of some stuff they had to do last year and you didn't get around to. Well, I do think, I mean, I don't think it's a massive rightsizing. I think that, you know, as they said, they haven't done their sort of typical 5%. And so that's coming back. And so if you look at the math and you exit the market stuff, it is the typical. And so I think what's going to be interesting is what's going to happen with compensation at Goldman and the firms as well as headcount because what we had heard from Solomon, you know, even just a month ago, I believe, was that the cost to compete had not come down as much as they would have thought. Daniel Pinto, who runs the JPMorgan's corporate and investment bank, also said that they were going to use comp by deliver rather than job cuts. So we will see what the interplay is between those two things. We do think that cost pressure continues into next year. And that's the big variable that we're hear about during earnings because we can track a lot of things, we can track that equity underwritings are down significantly. We can track that pick is good and equities less so, but expenses really involve management judgment in terms of the level of investments that they're making and that's really going to determine give us a signal in terms of what they think about ahead and also the profitability for the coming year.

We get the details from Bloomberg's Bruce einhorn. These protests have of course related to the election last October that then president Bolsonaro lost to former president Lula. President Lula has only been in office for a week. Former president Bolsonaro did not attend the inauguration. He's now somewhere in the United States. A lot of his supporters have been camped out in front of military headquarters all around the country ever since the election, conducting vigils in protest of what they considered to be a stolen election. Bloomberg's Bruce einhorn says the new president Lula is vowing to prosecute the rioters. Well, Nathan, we turn now from political turmoil in Brazil to more here in the U.S.. It took 15 ballots for Kevin McCarthy to become Speaker of the House. Now he faces a democratic controlled Senate and a slim fractured House majority. Amy Morris has details from our Bloomberg 99 one newsroom in Washington. The leadership struggle lasted more than four days and raised questions about Republicans capacity to fulfill basic functions of governing, even after McCarthy was elected Republican representative Nancy mace of South Carolina tells CBS's face the nation heard here on Bloomberg radio that she's worried about what backroom deals were cut. We don't know what they got or didn't get. We haven't seen it. We don't have any idea what promises were made or what gentlemen's handshakes were made. We just have no idea at this point. Today, house lawmakers are set to vote on a rules package, which will set the stage for how the house is going to operate. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris, Bloomberg daybreak. All right, Amy, thanks.

U.S. Congress turned into a number of important bills this week after the bloody speakership battle and concern about more acrimony ahead meanwhile thousands of supporters of former Brazilian president jair Bolsonaro broke through security barriers and invaded Congress the Supreme Court and the presidential palace joining us live as a Bloomberg's Peter millard energy and commodities reporter in the Americas, Peter, thank you so much for taking the time for us. How does the effort of clearing the chamber stand at this point? I understand they were making some progress. Yes, it looks like security forces have regained control of kind of the main Plaza in brazilia where you have Congress and the presidential palace and we do see the images have police on horseback and forces kind of clearing the area. It did take them a long time though. It took several hours and there are some accusations on part of the government. Part of Lula's camp that authorities in the federal district didn't ask it didn't act as fast if they should have. Okay, do we have any clue how this was instigated or how it was started? It was obviously organized. Yes, had been the opposition was calling for protests this weekend and on Sunday. And some buses had come in to the presidential palace exactly at one moment. There wasn't kind of a moment like in the U.S. when they told people to go down to Congress, they were police had, they were on the. Police do say that there were prepared for this. I mean, they knew that the bus loads of people were coming in, but they clearly weren't prepared for people kind of breaking through security. And they didn't respond aggressively at first. It took a while for them to for them to react. But that is one of the things that the government wants to investigate it to is the financial backers new organizers behind us. Now, president Lula was not at the palace. But he did react to it. What was the reaction? His reaction was very severe that he wants to go after the organizers behind this, the protesters themselves and the police who are on site that did not act fast enough to try and contain the situation. Okay, so the attack was aimed at the three branches of government, correct? That's right. These are clearly people that support Bolsonaro and do not accept rule as election election victory and want to turn back the clock. And the risk now is to try is for the government is to make sure that the states have and doesn't spread continuing Brazilian spread to other parts of the country. Now, I have, I have seen Peter a number of response from people who analyst who know the government. That this does not help the Bolsonaro movement that does not help the far right of the country whatsoever. Does that play in your mind as a fair statement? Absolutely. And even Bolsonaro, he took to Twitter, he was actually by his standards he was pretty quick to position himself against the access today. He did that about a half an hour ago. But that will only limit some damage. Like he's going to be blamed for this and his movement is going to be blamed for this. He didn't concede tallulah. He left the country instead of participating in the inauguration. And handing over and handing over the sash and so yes, this is definitely a mark on his movement and it gives an excuse to kind of go on the offense. The got it. Okay. Hey, thank you so much, Peter.

"The CFO marcela bachi is saying, you know what, a markets are just overreacting to a potential Lula presidency. Of course, we have seen that two decades ago when he was actually president, right? When he actually moved more towards the economic center. And the fact that the margins were so close in the first round and who knows what happens on the second round, it also narrows it even stronger. We could actually see him moving his policies more towards the center. We already saw an open letter on just released yesterday talking about fiscal priority, social priorities as well. So in the economic front, yes, we're expecting a change perhaps Bolsonaro moving more towards privatization, Lula, of course, really trying to portray himself as the champion of social justice, but markets have so far reacted positively. And finally, sherry, will both sides accept the results if they lose because that's an issue as you know in the elections we have coming up in the United States. What about in Brazil? What's the election integrity issue? I mean, we have seen even this week president Bolsonaro continue his attack on Brazil's electoral authorities. For years, he's also undermined the credibility of Brazil's electronic voting system. So this is a key question. He has been raising fears that perhaps president Bolsonaro will not concede defeat if, in fact, Lula wins. But we are expecting that if there is a contested election, the economic cost could be around $12 billion when you consider the market impact and the reality appreciation. Wow, $12 billion.

"Well, really, they're trying to account for no shows because Lula tends to get hurt when Ascension rates are high. His base of support will be coming from low income voters that are more likely not to show up. So we are now seeing when he comes to data fold the other latest numbers that will lead has actually widened to 53%, which is higher from last month, which is really interesting because this week also known as momentum is fading. Is the public engaged. We've got a massive turnout in the United States for a midterm election. We all know the history of the U.S. election. How much are the people of Brazil engaged? There is a depolarization here in Brazil. And of course, when we talk about Latin American politics, we're not really necessarily talking about the right and left, which of course have defined lots of elections around the country this year, but it's really about pushing back against the establishment in a way. So we have seen that engagement quite low in the first round Tom, one of the lowest voter turnouts about 20% on the lowest since we've seen the 1980s, but right now everything is getting heated. We have seen even violence last week and we're one of Bolsonaro's allies getting into a gun battle with police. So there is a lot of interest right now on the ground. Sheri, you mentioned that it's more anti establishment than it is. Normal party lines in the same kind of way. And this isn't just Brazil. We're seeing this around the world, including in the U.S. and elsewhere, how much do you see this stemming or being exacerbated by the economic place that we're all in and Brazil as well at a time when people do feel like they are being unfairly penalized by inflation. They're not able to keep pace. How much is that the undercurrent of this polarization for anti establishment and trying to keep the status quo a bit more? It has been a really interesting few months, Lisa, because as we were coming to this election, not surprisingly, president Bolsonaro tried to ramp spending really extending those social welfare packages for low income voters trying to lure Lula's a support base to his camp. Lulu on the other side has been really emphasizing the economic prosperity during his two terms in office since 2003, of course, a caveat was that he was enjoying really a huge commodities boom, but that has been really the undercurrent perhaps a silver lining in Brazil. Remember the Central Bank here has been aggressively tight in premium. They're right now holding rates steady. So what does this mean? Perhaps a good economic mix for Brazil where you have higher rates, you have a commodities exporting industries that can really withstand perhaps a higher yields globally that we're seeing right now. Hey sherry, thank you. One of our reporting sherry on there on the ground in Brazil to sherry's point. And I hate it when the fed says front loading and I'm guilty of using their language too. This wasn't front loading from the fed. It was catch up from the fed. The front loaders, the people that actually went first, were in a.m. and Brazil was one of them when they height rates in early 2021. And they experienced the pain as a result and you're seeing some of the social unrest as a result of some of both the policies, but more importantly, the economic backdrop, what sherry is talking about is incredibly important because this highlights a wave of populism that will only be exacerbated by the current emotion that we're in. So how does that affect politics at a time when you've got your fiscal hands tied? You got monetary hands tied. You've got people who are getting increasingly angry. These elections are going to matter that much. Have you seen my right sir in Brazil? Just south 14%. Yeah. He's a big number. And the currency is actually done better than many, many others maybe because they were early like you say. Speaks to that. But I defer to mister sassa or on this, but I'm sorry, the Brazilian paper or the dollar paper in Brazil, those numbers are unsustainable. I mean, it's just, there's just no way. Well, the dollar issue is clearly a big one time. You talked about with Ian dingan on a different topic, but a dollar issue worldwide. Lisa, it's the number one thing I think if you ask a central banker abroad, what they want right now, if they could get a wish, yes, inflation lower, but also a part of that feature, just a week a dollar please. A week or less pressure from the Federal Reserve, this could help them at the same time. At some point. And this is really the tension I was speaking with about that with Peter shear. He expects the dollar to be the pivot point for the fed because the pain outside will become unsustainable and the pressures will be quite significant and I wonder not only on an economic level as we see the currency headwinds to some of the companies here, but also on a political one given that other nations are going to see these uprisings in the face of some of the pain. Japan did nothing overnight, right? Policy unchanged. Of course. I think they can hold on. For governor Corona's term, for the next several months. A lot of it depends on the dollar, right? If the dollar starts to weaken a plateau, they get a reprieve. It makes if they can hand on Tom. Just hang on to yield curve control through this volatility. You're bringing it up and I don't want to get mathy here and a happy Friday, but the bottom line is I did a 30 year study of yen dynamics in the answer. Excuse me of inflation dynamics in Japan and three times before they brought it up to a 3% inflation. John, boom, every time it comes back down. Did you just blend the two things? I do not have to dry yet. Do you like what I did with the in lingual FRA OIS? Happy fry. Okay. Can't do that with libraries.

"Today I'm very thrilled to welcome president Bolsonaro of Brazil for his first visit to The White House. President Bolsonaro, I want to congratulate you again on your tremendous election victory. Last October was an incredible feat and really a truly incredible challenge. And the end result was something the whole world was talking about. I also know that we're going to have a fantastic working relationship. We have many views that are similar. Similar, Kindred even. Bolsonaro makes offensive and sexist remarks and has taken extreme views. He's also downplayed the pandemic unnecessarily costing the lives of his countrymen. And yet he's still not the one. No, that would be North Korea's dictator. As Sinéad O'Connor might say, nothing compares to you. He wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love. Hey, he's the head of a country, and I mean, he's the strong head. Don't let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same. Well, yeah, they sit up at attention because they might be killed if they don't. But Trump isn't one to let that get in the way of love. True love. A Fox host says it out loud, cheering on American divisions for ratings. Plus one day after his sideline meltdown, football player Antonio Brown was seen at a basketball game, this time wearing a shirt. It's just a matter of time. This will blow your mind. On the next eco solutions, go inside expo 2020 Dubai to see how the elements are being harnessed for good. From the sun and essential resource. All throughout the day, our energy trees rotate just like sunflowers to face the sun. To the earth. And the sky.

Relativity was founded 5 years ago to 3D print entire rockets, so not only are we designing and building the world's first fully 3D printed rocket. We've actually had to build the world's largest metal 3D printers. The launch vehicle is we're building have a hundred times fewer parts than a traditional rocket. And we're actually able to build it from raw material coming in the door to fully complete and only 60 days once we're fully operational with the factory. So it really is a totally different way of building. And I was originally inspired. I came from Blue Origin. I cofounder came from SpaceX, and we actually want to 3D print the industrial base of humanity on Mars that that's why we founded the company is we really see 3D printing is inevitable technology, not just for rockets and aerospace on earth, but will actually build the future

"On the presidential election runoff at the end of the month, which will pit former president Lula against president Bolsonaro. This after a closer first round than predicted by pollsters. I spoke with Kara Ferrero Marquez. So Clara, in a way, this was a huge loss for Lula given that the polls were suggesting he might win in the first round, right? It's important I think to put things in perspective a little bit and then present an election is a very rarely solved in the first round. It's only been a couple twice since the advent of democracy and I think one of course had indicated in the week before that it was possible that Lulu could carry the election in the first round. It was always a little bit of an outside chance. I think the surprise here was really the strength of both scenarios to support him somewhere in the mid 30s and we came out with 43%. And I think really importantly, is this trend of congressional support and the success which his allies had both in Congress and in gubernatorial races. Exactly, financial markets love the results, the interpretation was that if Lula wins, it will temper his more leftist tendencies, but in truth, we don't really know what either candidate would do or even be able to do in power Dewey. Well, I mean, we do have some indications because both of these men have been president, tries those for two terms and Bolsonaro for one. So it's old really. On the one hand, there's a sense that folks now actually elected with really push ahead with reform, parking back to 2018. Now this is as president, he wasn't really able to do very much with that Bulgarian to finance minister came in on this big wave of hope that was some reform of the pension system vulnerable overview of really social could have been done. They haven't really tackled fiscal and other much needed changes and they mismanaged the greatest shock, which was COVID. On the Lewis side, as president he was a pragmatist, he did govern from the center. I would say this probably will push him to take us even. So I think you have to move to the center in order to gain the support of third way candidates. But the fact is he was already there. His vice president Gerald welcoming governor of San Paolo is really a centrist. So that's the message he's been sending for some time. If Lula wins, what is the danger that Bolsonaro doesn't accept the outcome? How tense could it become? Very, I think. And it's going to become 10,004 weeks. We've already seen quite a lot of electoral violence, 15 pollsters, attacks because the labels know has credited the polls that will only accentuate. I think the real issue with Bolsonaro is that taking a leaf from the Donald Trump playbook, he's really been paving the way for some sort of adventurism October 30th, so he's questioned the electoral mechanism, even though Brazil has a very well established electronic voting system, there's absolutely no evidence of fraud in each and away at the balance of powers attacking the Supreme Court. He's really cozied up to the military since 2018 in large part. Didn't really have a party power base. He took to the military as a way of basking in the respect of glory of their reputation for competence, for example. He was an army captain, he was in a particularly good one. That doesn't really matter if you can still do that, and it's done it very effectively. So that connection to the military and with the security services generally is included police in that very worrying also the support for gun ownership. So there has been a surge in gun ownership in Brazil, awash in guns. And that too, I think, is a pretty major concern as we approach this. It's not necessarily true that we would have an uprising. I mean, he has said things like, I'll leave power either to go to prison or because God removes me, and I'm not going to prison. So they think sort of comment. But I think the real risk here, it will depend on how wide the margin is between the two candidates and some of the wins are wide as that margin between them. The other thing to bear in mind is that this might not be as outright coup as you would imagine in the 1970s kind of way, but these are modern coups work in different ways. And what we might well see is as those just point instability. And that is extremely concerning. Can we draw any conclusion about how populism is developing differently in Latin American countries? And I think Latin America, we have a tendency to talk about it by just one uniform place obviously very, very differently to different countries, different experiences that dictatorship. I think a couple of things to point out would be one is to cut down this idea of the pink tide. We have seen quite a lot of that with borage in Chile, petroleum, Colombia, there's a lot of talk of inside of blueberry comes power in Brazil. Now, the reality is they're all very different candidates. They're not on the right, but really what stands out for three of them is that they are anti incumbent. If people are unhappy with the way things are going the way economies are going in particular. And I think also just bear in mind that it's also very different experience to when mother was first in power when they're genuinely was addicted to blood. That's not really the case now. Been operating from the assumption that Lula is going to win, but that's based on the polls, and they were wrong, so could Jaya Bolsonaro stay in power? Well, it would be unprecedented because since the advent of democracy, no one became second or not when the first child won the second round. But we're in pretty unprecedented territory here. I think it's important to remember that a little has said about his actual agenda for when he governs those alone where he has to wait for the next round. The more details he provides and that's less effective than just being the anti Bolsonaro candidate. I think it's also notable how lukewarm some of the support has been to do that. It astounding really, you know, this is an election where democracy is at stake hasn't really come across that way to those people. For most people in Brazil, this is still an election that is about the economy. And despite the reality being a lot less rosy, people still credit Bolsonaro with quite a lot and we'll be giving out quite a bit of cash hand over just before the next round. So I think it's absolutely a possibility that is not to be discounted. Bloomberg opinions Clara Ferrera Marquez. Stay tuned more opinion next.

"Announcing news about coal. That caught your eye right before we came in. And then you know any favorite uncle memories you wanna share about You know all of us fuckin- trying to clean up some pr mass at eleven pm in a hotel suite. So i'll start my favorite memory. Your tommy I'm certainly the only person who had to write eight speeches for the american president and They were immensely stressful. Because every piece of the government wanted to get their line in there and the speech and obama always wanted them to be good speeches. And so i was always navigating you know. A member samantha. Power one night. She really wanted him to have this line in there. There was going to be like the first time that. Us president really hammered. Lgbt issues From the states. Shoes right. But i was out doing something. She was like sleeping outside of my door to get this line banging on the door. She's there midnight like just dog. It exactly what you want from sam and then in the morning obama would always give me his final edits over breakfast and then immediately get in his motorcade and go to the speech and making no allowance for the fact that it took time for me to get his handwriting on the speech. Go to my laptop. Insert them and send it to the teleprompter guy right so one morning. He's eating eggs and bacon. He's taken a long time because he worked out and he gives me a bunch of edits and takes off. Now i if people you'd have to work for obama to know that he was not that good reading a speech in a binder on podium like. There's a teleprompter and it's not that he didn't know the words and you need a teleprompter because he had no idea was talking about it said like do you want to watch brock obama looking down at a binder flipping pages and reading something in your eyes. Oh yeah so one year. I just couldn't get the speech to the teleprompter guy in time and i. I thought i had but there was like a mix up and the prompter guy had the wrong speech and see seabrook obama. Go up take the stage. Connex shakes hands with the guy and just look down and start to read. You know in these times we and and it's like for about four minutes. I was like oh my god. This is gonna be the worst hour of my life And then suddenly. I see him like look up and i was like. Oh the prompters. Are you know it does for becca small thing. Look i think biden speech rule out. Big new initiatives. You clearly saw the argument. That's at the heart of their foreign policy particularly post afghanistan which is running the afghan war in removing us into this new period and the issues have to change that we focus on and those issues are coverted climate change and democracy slash china right and he kind of made that argument. I happen to agree with a lot of that argument He also went out of his way. I think to say we're not trying to have a new cold war with china. We have to find ways to cooperate. I think that's a good message. I think it's important for people to hear that message. i. I think we'll see in the coming months there's a couple of big milestones out there. If the first phase of binds foreign policy was like america's back and kind of good feeling about that and the second phase kind of this afghanistan withdrawal. the third phase is this fall. you've got the clinching glasgow. You've got his first meeting regime paying pipe and the g twenty will probably find out whether or not we can get in the rondo so to me. This speech is kind of a bridge to the next phase of binds foreign policy on the climate change front jinping made this announcement that china's going to stop building and financing coal plants around the world. That's a big deal You know the the concern was china's taking steps at home but they're building coal plants in the belt road initiative china japan and south korea have been big finances of coal plants. If if they all get out of that business in the japanese and south green made some pledges. That's that's big. I mean if we're removing international financing for coal that that to me is a big step. Yeah i mean. Obviously china hawks. We will watch and make sure he actually does. Yeah that's my cfo. What's the time line in or their car exactly. Yeah yeah Ben one fun thing about unger is The good leaders show up. And then all the shitty ones do to. I mean we used to speaking of long speeches without teleprompters Muammar gaddafi uses three. That you remember you were there. He like all female bodyguard unit and spoke for hours and that he was pitching at ten at trump's the park well. He was trump's house in the club in new jersey right on the lawn. There real bore outfielder that year. You know get weird year. Yeah well so this year. Like the The standout asshole so far is president bolsonaro from brazil. He is unvaccinated. Because he's a trumpet moron He's going to be allowed into the event to speak easy kind of have to accommodate world leaders when you are leading the general assembly. But what's funny is balsam are can't get into restaurants so people keep tweeting photos of him and his entourage eating pizza on the sidewalk in new york city b.'s. Everyone's like sorry you're not coming in. Yeah i the picture looks hilarious like that. He seemed to think it made him cool that he couldn't go in to get a slice so he's hanging out with his like fascist enablers outside just like rock and a slice but like it's not that cool man like you look like you've been at the bar. Yeah yeah yeah. He was probably who knows one other ganga story. I want to throw out there because it's our french theme. 'member the year that sarkozy surprised us for calling for a palestinian state in his speech. At the it was just thinking about. This is a book yes so he's surprises us just like we just surprised the french so just to show it can go both ways and obama was beating them right after and obama comes and he's like he's just like look man you gotta give us a heads up. Yeah just he's pretty casual about it. He didn't get all freaked out like you know he's just like gives heads up and sarkozy sins up any pounds and he said. I did this because i despise that man. Netanyahu he's humiliated uber rock in the oval office and he made this speech about how part of the reason why he's doing it was like defending obama's honor or something and like mama cyclic. Man just just give us a heads up. You know we need ends up on these things. We need to work on it. All of it It was wild Is a and he's a guy. I'm gonna i'm supposed to middle east peace and obama's like yet get your nobel prize. Got my man. Yeah good luck with that sarko and maybe tyrod good lawyer A couple more quick things. So quick update from ethiopia. So last week we had Nimmo obama gear from cnn. Joined the show to talk about her. Like really brave amazing reporting about the ongoing fighting in ethiopia where the government has been attacking reportedly committing atrocities against the people living in northern tigray province. Last week president biden signed a new executive order that authorizes sanctions against the leaders behind those atrocities. So very good. Move here by the by administration I think credits enigma. For her reporting which i think probably shed a lot of light on what was happening In the region in the reality of how dark it was. And i'm sure was influential within the government Certainly got a lot of attention outside of it so credit to her credits president biden for doing something. Good yeah no. We should stay on top of this. This is the story will keep coming back to you because this isn't going away this but it's good to see the that kind of reporting has an impact of ripples out has policy ultimately. Yeah it really does pretty amazing Couple more things been so prime minister. Boris johnson made some news this week by finally confirming to Savannah guthrie on the today.

"Five days after thousands of supporters of the right wing Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took to the streets on Brazil's Independence Day. His opponents are making their voices heard with elections there in just over a year's time. Mr Bolsonaro has been losing ground in the opinion polls to his biggest rival, the country's left wing former President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva. Graciela Tester, is a professor of political science at the school of Public Administration and government at the Chateau Julio Vargas Foundation from the capital, Brasilia. She told me about the latest protests. So today we have a protest in 14 or 15 major cities that request Bolsonaro's to be impeached by the legislative because of what he has been saying, and because of how he managed The Covid crisis in Brazil. But this protest it has been called by former supporters of jelly bolsonaro and not by the left wing. That historic opposition of president of this protest has been called by this enter Right movement that use it to support President Bolsonaro. And now it's against him. So more conservative people who feel that also narrow has taken The country too far to the right, especially how he managed the vaccine buying and how he did not I it the whole crisis since the beginning and didn't act enough. To contain how the disease is spread fraud. Brazil are these different people, then to the ones who protested on Independence Day, the ones that protested in the dependence. They were supporters of Bolsonaro, and they were actually against the judiciary. That's the new strategy of presidential hopeful. So now it was just say that the Let's just don't let him act the way he wanted. So His supporters, his former supporters and his traditional opponents, all of them out on the street. What is happening in Brazil? We have this president always questioning the other branches and always questioning the Democratic ways of doing things. He's also supported by all the military forces, which is also dangerous, so There's lots of people worried about the future of Brazil's democracy. That's why we have all these protests and all this movement in Brazil. Nowadays, this question of what happens in next year's election is that one that many Brazilians Are concerned about Certainly those who oppose job bolsonaro are they worried that he might not step down? If he is deemed to have lost the election? Yes, there is this kind of bad perspective. Because he has even questioning how safe it is the electronic ballots that has been around Brazil for more than 20 years, and that elected him seven times for congressman and four president. He's now questioning the security of the electronic vote. And yes, that's a problem that's expected to happen if he doesn't win next elections. That was a Brazilian professor of political science.

"New appointment. Joakim Alvare, a Pereira. That Lady, the first appointment that is significant to the measure by the Financial Times, which is London based but very critical of Boston Arrow, So I take their language. Importantly, because they see lady as an answer, or at least a possible answer to the destruction of the Biodome. Joseph. You and I have both read this article is the F T. Right now changing direction, asking something to happen from the new minister. Or is it still doubtful that Boston Arrow will give the orders to stop the destruction? I think I think what we're seeing here John is, uh, President Bolsonaro in Brazil's had kind of an ongoing feud with the media on many topics but most specifically on the Amazon and on deforestation that's probably been the number one issue of his presidency. That's caused them a lot of reputational harm. If you remember back during the Amazon fires, he is getting a lot of pressure and criticism managed community, particularly France, about his handling of the rainforests in the Amazon. So his government has done a lot in the recent years. That's a specifically since 2020 to kind of change that image into essentially try to improve their image in the international community about how they're handling the Amazon. In fact, I get communication from time to time from their embassy in their foreign ministry about this issue. I remember one of the things that caught my attention and will be sent me some data. They talked about how Brazil comprises approximately 6.3 of the planet's continental landmass and has about 12.3% of its protected areas. This makes Brazil one of the biggest countries in the world when it comes to protected areas, But Brazil is leading the world of the top 10 big countries in the world. In terms of protection of its, uh, territory, and it's, uh, Forest territories and two that got my attention. Because I did You know the reputation that if you read these articles of Brazil is that they're not protecting any other territories or protect treasure completely on On automated They're under protected under served by the Boston our government. But according to the data that they've shown me through their foreign ministry and the embassies, it's that doesn't seem to be the case. That said, I would say that one of the biggest challenges that bolster government sentence not too different from what he had with Covid is to balance the protection of their territorial. In the case of Covid, the the the the the, uh the medical, uh, situation with their economy. And I think the President Boston, the Boston Our government has been very adamant about not trying to limit their economic growth and their economic development potential. Obviously the balance that with the other considerations in the environment and others that's very important, but I think that's been clear that the president will snow is priority is to grow the economy and I think that's what that's why he's maintained similar level of popularity, even amongst all the criticism. The Financial Times reports statistics. Deforestation has surged since the Both announced President he came to power in 2019. Last year, 2020 more than 11,000 Square kilometres of the Amazon rainforest was raised in area seven times the size of London and the highest rate in 12 years. That's the statistic, but let's go to the politics. There is a campaign underway by Lula de Silva, the previous populace president of Brazil, and I don't remember to silver being associated or not with greens. Is the silver, making a contrast between his way of managing the Amazon in both scenarios. Yeah, Obviously Lunar. The silver is going to use this as an opportunity to differentiate himself from Boston Albert more importantly, to try to delegitimize and we can both scenarios image and his popularity both in Brazil and with and with the international community. Little is silver We have we can't forget of Hulu's service included the silver is someone that was convicted because of one of the biggest corruption scandals in the country's history. We're talking about the older bridge scandal, and he was convicted of those charges. He was incarcerated others because of that conviction and the only reason that he is out of jail and, more importantly, the reason he's allowed now to To return to politics in Brazil is because of a technicality in the case that that allowed him to to do that, so I think it's it's a bit. Um, this is ingenuous on the part of Lula da Silva. Who has been one of the biggest stains on Brazil's history, particularly John Corruption is part of the story about deforestation in protection of the Amazon because oftentimes one of the challenges is is to get through the barriers of protection and the corruption deal to actually make sure that these entities are protecting the Amazon and not just taking kickbacks or bribes to be able to say that they're doing stuff. So Lou the silver, I think is one of the biggest problems in Brazil. But no doubt he's going to capitalize on the opportunity to any chance you get to weaken both an arrow into position himself.

There is a clear danger that you know this. Social movement is described. It will continue to have an influence in brazilian politics. Very much is the same kind of social movements are influential in the states. I mean trump has lost the election last year in the us but he's not gone away. I mean trump. 'isms not gone away so i think this kind of right wing populism is going to be there. I think is very difficult to say. What will happen next year because the various reasons bolsonaro and the last few months has entered into abusive a crisis. And i think we can see even this weekend. The demonstrations across brazil against paul scenario which follow a month of explosive congressional inquiry into balsas mishandling of the covid pandemic him brazil. We can see those as a bit of an inflection point. Potentially reasoned opinion polls have shown. Lula was only allowed by the supreme court to participate in the election. A couple of months ago ahead by a very big mortgage in very likely winner perhaps even in a first round let alone a second round of the contest and it's it's but then again we are right in the middle of potential food wave of covert. I mean four hundred and sixty thousand. People have died in brazil as a result of covid. Nineteen is one of the worst rates per capita In the world. I think there are two or three countries that are worse hungary czech republic but the small a much smaller. I'm brill brazil as a big country has been really devastated. The may even be some on the counting as well so might be worse than that. And i think this is very alarming. You know bolsonaro has been a nihilist from the beginning. He's under underplayed it. He's said it was a little flu. He said that he wouldn't get it because he's a great athlete and he'd be resistant to the people. Staying home are idiots simply he said now it seems this is something that's emerged in the last couple of weeks in the congressional inquiry you know. They were delaying deliberately delaying acquisition. Of vaccines in brazil's being very slow to acquire vaccines and richard. I just want to ask. You is because i. Your book is fascinating and one thing i mean. I noticed that the international press have been covering brazil kind of more and more people are almost fascinated abobo surfing. That's why a lot of people will be actually very curious to read a book by yourself. Do you see that. I mean it's a stranger. Pugh is a negative appeal. I mean the image of brazil being deteriorating of notice like living abroad the last twelve years but there is a certain fascination almost like how did he manage to be in power one of the biggest nations in the world. I think there's a fascination about you know these kind of right wing populist dudes you know such as trump and bolsonaro people i- deterred today in the lanes and alban because there's so much against the so much against the liberal consensus. I think you know they all relatively popular in. Obviously there are question marks about hours. Chances of winning next year birds. You know he won very well in two thousand eighteen. He's not impossible. Who went again. I think combined probably unlikely when but in terms of people's interest in this. Yeah i think there is. I mean is difficult for me to know. I mean i think latin america in britain at least is is relatively under covered in the mainstream media. They're on that. Many correspondents may my old employer. The financial times has five or six correspondents in the region but is quite unusual. The economist covers a very well. You know the times has a couple of correspondence that these naught world covered in their own. I mean allied. Don't think that people really appreciate the diversity of latin america. How different these countries are. You is a brazilian. How different brasilia's to wash insane. Who love generalizing so quickly. Sometimes in our like every has their own kind of inner politics. If you know what a mainland you know you find. People tend to think of latin america. And they think always chile and or nicaragua on the sonnen east as they have this slightly. I think there's a sort of a romantic vision of what it's about. And i think is is very much more complex a much more sophisticated societies the very trouble societies in many ways. But they're all very different in brazil. I don't think he's well understood because he has a you know. Not why the united states you know in the sense that is a slave society outta slavery until the end of the nineteenth century. There's a big black population in brasilia on the privileged. It does suffer from racism but there's also a huge degree of miscegenation in brazil. You know of people is not quite the same as it is in in north america. That was richard lapa.

Brazil’s Amazon Deforestation Reaches Record Level for May
"Says deforestation in the Amazon region increased by 40% in the year to me, 1180 square kilometres of rainforest were lost. Meanwhile, a separate report is warning that illegal logging is set to get worse. As the Amazon enters the dry season. I got more details from our Americas editor Candice Pet Well, this is the third consecutive months of these record figures of deforestation in the Amazon is really raising serious questions about President Jair Bolsonaro's commitments to fighting deforestation. Environmentalists argue that the deforestation levels have been increasing because his policies and his environment minister have been slowly dismantling the legal protection measures. That police and control deforestation in the Amazon. The minister himself is under investigation by prosecutors for alleged involvement in the export of illegal would, for example, to be sold to the European Union and the United States. The Environment Ministry is also frozen funding to the environmental policing body and frozen their normal ability to patrol and monitor deforestation. President Bolsonaro has promised to eradicate illegal deforestation in the Amazon by 2030. Is that even realistic? Well, it's certainly contradicts a lot of what he's been saying. So far since he got into office in 2019. He's repeatedly advocated to develop Mentalist policy for the Amazon has argued the region needs economic development, not protection as some kind of giant reserve as he puts it. So these latest statements have been seen with great skepticism in Brazil. A by his opponents. There's been

India Surpasses Brazil, Moves Into 2nd Place For COVID-19 Cases
"The United States still has more corona virus cases than any other nation on Earth but India is catching up the US for the record has more than six point two million cases. India is now second in the world with four point two, million Joanna slater is the India Bureau chief for The Washington Post and is on the line from New Delhi. Welcome to the program. Punky what's going wrong in India Well India is in a very difficult predicament. At the moment it has a situation where the number of infections is large and accelerating and the economy is hobbled and there's no sign that infections have peaked. So it's really just it's just a very, very tough situation although I'm thinking about four point two million is an appalling number of cases but we are talking about a country of more than a billion people were I suppose it it might be possible for this to be happening and you don't even realize it. Do you do you? Do you sense it as you walk along the streets of New Delhi that something is happening here You certainly sense it into a far as you see people wearing masks most of the people here are wearing masks but not all of them, and once again there traffic jams in Delhi, for example, where I live. And things have basically reopened after a very severe lockdown earlier earlier this spring. So you don't necessarily see it in the streets, but there is, of course, a growing sense of concerned at at the number of cases and how quickly they're rising our hospitals doing. Hospitals at the moment are holding up. There was a moment earlier in the outbreak in May and June when it really did look like the healthcare system was going to buckle in places like Mumbai and Delhi meter, we spoke to a number of families who had just desperate searches for hospital beds for their loved ones only to be turned away again and again. And told that the hospitals were full in those two big cities, the situation ease a little bit over the summer. But now it is it is getting worse again, and one of the other worrisome things that's happening now is the virus is moving or has moved from India cities to its vast hinterland where the health system is is even less equipped to cope. Joiner, you've mentioned a few elements that can affect the spread of the corona virus talked about lockdown and a reopening. You talked about people wearing masks. Does the government have a clear strategy and clear set of priorities here and if so what are they? The government has had different priorities different points in time it tried implementing severe lockdown with about four hours. Notice it shut down this entire country of one point, three billion people but the result was economic devastation. So it had to relax those restrictions. It had to reverse course, and that is the strategy it has adopted now, and that's the direction in which India is going toward progressive reopening. The only major thing that remains closed in India now is is schools. Whether the government is going to reassess that strategy or second-guessed that that strategy we don't now know now at the moment, but there is no no sign of it. I'm thinking about the current world leader in cases the United States the President President Trump's administration just as a statement of fact has had chaotic messaging. The president's often endorsed conspiracy theories contradicted his own public health officials, and of course, you have state officials going their own ways and attempting their own strategies. How does the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Compares Prime Minister Modi. Threat and spoken about it clearly. Yes he has. That is a major difference between India and the United States and Brazil as well. So unlike president trump or president bolsonaro prime minister Modi has downplayed the virus or told Indian citizens to go about their normal lives. He has consistently talked about the virus as a very dangerous threat and from the beginning has appeared in public with either Moscow or face covering. Is it possible that that the speed of this virus is going to cause a lockdown whether the government does it or not people are just not going to be willing to go about their lives As of now, I don't think so because the silver lining if I can use that term is that the number of deaths in India according to official statistics it's still relatively low. So there's not that same public pressure that you might see. Elsewhere. The slater, thanks for the update. Really appreciate it. Having. Joanna's slater is the India Bureau chief for The Washington Post and she's a New Delhi.

Brazil's biggest cities start reopening as COVID-19 surges
"Brazil ranked second to the United States for the most coronavirus cases and deaths of any country in the world yet it's pushing ahead with reopening businesses and its largest cities series Bill Weir's and some hollow for us. right now, so set the scene for US Bill. What are you seeing? Well a lot of the businesses were only allowed to be open for about six hours today, usually in the middle of the day source, seeing folks sort of trickle in and out of the shops here as they get closer to closing time, there's a mall across the street that was open today for the first time as people get to sit down restaurants at forty percent capacity, or so, but in the shopping district in the center of town today I saw people elbow to elbow, and not all the masks were at full mast, so to speak at a lot of that has to do with the way Brazil as the United States, the pandemic has become really political. Down here, thanks to the man in charge President Bolsonaro of from the beginning. Has dismissed covid nineteen as little flu that Brazilians are strong enough to handle He pooh-poohed calls from the Health Ministry to social distance and to quarantine fact. He fired his health minister. A lot of people were worried that president trump would fire Dr Chee well most scenario did that replacement quit after a month? And now the man in charge of the pandemic response is a loyal army general who has no health policy experience at all, but what's interesting at the same time is Brazil is now the site of two major vaccine sort of phase three. Three trials, thousands of Brazilians will volunteer to get very promising medicines, but wolf those probably even in the best-case won't be ready for public sumptious until this time next year.

Understanding 'church and state' in Brazil
"Today's show. We'll look at a couple of places which is and politicians make pretty unabashed best use of each other and at one country where a critical mass of the population seems to have grown tired of the arrangement. We'll stop in Brazil who's new president. Cheyenne Shaya Bolsonaro. One power on campaign heavily geared towards the least generous impulses Brazil's traditional Catholic believers and it's increasingly influential and rather less tolerant evangelical converts joining me to discuss. This is Antonio San Pyo research associate for conflict security and development at the International Institute for Strategic Agents Studies. Antonio I'll start with the very basics generally right now how religious a country is Brazil. Well Brazil is a very religious country. People's religion is quite important for their dentists. Mostly although obviously in the big urban centers in the southeast where people are wealthier and more connected to coacher and things this tends to be a bit smaller but resists to a very large Catholic country. There are a lot of. Catholics is by far the majority the Evangelical Population Elation Brazil has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades and it is estimated now that there are about thirty percent of the population identifying themselves as if Angelico but this population is divided in several different nations different churches but these population tends to be extremely conservative -servative in social terms in terms of controversial social freedom issues like gay marriage abortion and other issues. We'll come back to the van Jellicoe presently because they are a relatively recent arrival certainly in the Brazilian political sphere at least to the extent they now operate if we look at the Catholic Church in particular which is as you point out historically the root of Brazilian faith. How politically active or influential? Have they been. The Catholic. Search has been relatively modest or discreet in terms of politics in never officially endorses. Any candidates TASR assumed for itself a role as an actor and a supporting pillar in the more impoverished communities in Brazil Brazil as a country with large areas that are extremely poor and marginalized It is very important in urban areas. Where the poor resort to religion as an escape scape from the realities from the marginalization that the broader society and the broader economy regard them with so it is an important factor in social terms but politically medically? It hasn't had a lot of influence in Brazilian politics at least in this current era of democracy since the mid nineteen eighties. So is it fair to say. Even the evangelical more explicitly politically ambitious in the Catholic Church. was they want to take more direct role in Brazilian politics. Absolutely I believe and have been by far more active and more proactive in seeking political influence the Evangelical priests in their churches especially those of the biggest searching in Brazil such as the Universal Church of God the occasion of your cell to Hanes deals led by Juma do it you must see a do also owns a very large. TV Station in Brazil called record TV and he hasn't being extremely vocal but he has given even some public comments supporting able scenario the far-right candidate that ended up winning the elections now. The president of Brazil and there are several media reports showing how even though the public indoctrination or public mention of candidates and support in the church during ceremonies themselves themselves are quite discreet or sometimes completely absent on the margins of the religious ceremonies in the way that people talk and discuss with each other. They are quite supportive of what is currently the far right movement in Brazil the talk phone crime conservative in social terms so this is a very strong movement. Many Brazilian a majority of the evangelicals showed support for Djabel scenario by some poles seventy percent of Brazilians who identify as evangelical voted full. Oh Bolsheviks what's your sense of which way round the horse and the car were there by which I mean were evangelical voting Wgir Bolsonaro. Because because they think he's the guy always Bolsonaro going out of his way to convince evangelical that he's the guy so the interesting thing. Is that Djabel. Sano is N- aunt and oven jellicoe. He doesn't follow jellicoe religion his Catholic however his wife is of Jellicoe and he has demonstrated several policy positions nations and other philosophical points that are very aligned with evangelical concern so for instance the transfer of the Brazilian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem Jerusalem. He stated publicly during the campaign than closer to the election. He showed that he wasn't sure about it. And now he continues to tiptoe on that however it was a point that is widely supported by the fans Alecos because of their belief that the Jews should return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple so at the second coming of Christ would come to believe that is very widespread evangelical community at least in Brazil and other points such as publicly stating certainly in the pass on to some extent the president also stating opposition to gay marriage to the presence of gender and sexual education in schools that evangelical bellicose think is beyond unacceptable for their ultra-orthodox views. Sold these points. jellicoe symbols on auto are very well aligned. There are some voices in the oven. Jellico community that worry about the long term implications abused for the Evangelical Movement as a whole for its future because at the same time that there are very comfortable. Alliances of positions between both scenario and the evangelicals Bono also states some points that are quite violent excellent and points regarding public securities. Such as shooting took you criminal supporting torture off. Criminals suspected criminals and these tend to afflict particularly the poor and particularly poor black men which is also the constituencies the demographics that tend to be more heavily. Evangelical John Jellicoe so it's not a complete harmony of thoughts but so far the social conservatives mobile zone auto and of the Jellicoe movements have become quite aligned. Wind is it a challenge for President Bolsonaro or any Brazilian politician to try to manage the The expectations the hopes and the energies of both the van Jellicoe and the Catholic Church. Are there points of difference between them at all. I believe that it is a challenge to acquire the political political support of these different communities while also attending or respecting the less conservative positions of the rest of the Brazil's population. So the reason why this balance between jellicoe Catholic hasn't been very prominent in recent years. Is that the Evangelical Movement has been quite divided politically whereas the Catholic Church doesn't explicitly get involved in politics. The evangelicals have been involved but in a very fragmented way so they haven't really supported a single presidential candidate or a single political party. Brazil country with around thirty parties represented in Congress and it is is very fragmented and there are evangelicals in many many parties. Do Workers Party that is now. The main opposition the arch enemy of Bozon Otto and his right wing wing movement. The work aspired self aligned itself with the Evangelical so during Duma rousseff and Duma Roussev went back on some policy proposals to provide sexual education gender education schools because of Evangelical Influence Tube. Resilient political fashion diva jellicoe movement. Woman has been quite versatile and adaptive in align itself to whoever is in power in order to increase its influence and tried to block some of the moves against its philosophy and its main driving influences main driving voice has been against social freedom issues abortion gay marriage sexual education schools and things like that so just as a final thought then if as does seem to be the case. Brazilian politics has become more conservative. At least if we think think of that phenomenon as being personified by the current President Dawda extent is that being driven by religious faith whether it is the more traditional oh Catholic faith or the the new genetic evangelical faith. I think a big part of this right-wing shift of Brazil and the growing conservatism servicemen. That has been demonstrated by political leaders is being driven by evangelicals would just saw that the number of evangelical representing Congress rose by ten percent in the lower chamber of Congress in the October elections so their presence in politics has been increasing. It's just not something that is to the dominant can't power. Its shares power with some all the conservative sections so for instance in Brazil there is a faction of Congress that is called BBB so for stands for bullets bowls or cattle and Bible so the agribusiness influence is very strong as well and they also have a conservative view view. Those that support the more freedom to bear arms also tend to align themselves with the social conservatives of Jellicoe so these forces allied lied to themselves the form of important source off conservatives and to some extent swing shift in Brazilian politics Antonio some thank

"But increasingly read comment while ago posted about the sustainable futures report. The correspondent was concerned that i was trying into politics. The truth is everything is political while we can all do something toward solving the climate crisis. It is only governments and politicians who can make the changes of the magnitude that will make a difference. We are talking about system change after all. I know that many of you listening thing to the sustainable futures report are not in the u._k. I think that even you would have noticed that you k- politics are in some turmoil at the moment in fact this has been going on for three years but it's finally approaching day new mall. I say finally but everything may well have changed by the time you hear this anyway. They situation is the new prime minister has sought and received the authority of the queen to prorogue or suspend parliament of course she couldn't refuse but that's another story. The point at issue is that this would allow the prime minister to govern without parliament and allow how him to complete brexit the u._k.'s departure from the e._u. As he chooses i happen to believe that leaving the ear would be a disaster. Komo concerned if this prime minister can sideline parliament than any prime minister can do it on any issue. That's the reason i spent tuesday in london with your for europe and the yorker remain voice clap. I hope you saw us and hurt us on the evening news on bbc you see i tv and channel. Brexit is a sideshow by comparison with the climate crisis while breaks. It dominates u._k. Politics antics little of significance will be done on climate change all on many other issues that we've been neglecting over the last three years worrying agreeing also is the fact that many permanent brexit tears pacifica's climate deniers if i'm being political in opposing them and so be it in the climate crisis news this week the amazon fires why they're not the only fires why they he may not be as bad as you think a why they may be much more serious in ways you don't expect the future of the consumer society professor ian boyd retiring chief scientific advisor defa has set out his thoughts which looked very much like system change to me and the flying prince. I'll all common offsets making his travel common neutral the fun as in the amazon have been making big news news over the last couple of weeks that destroying the rainforest sante threatening an area which produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen on the amazon amazon rainforest is the lungs of the earth. Isn't it well. Yes no i strongly recommend that you listen to more or less a statistics sticks programme on bbc radio four which is available online and has carried out a detailed analysis of the situation they spoke to daniel net stunt of the earth innovation institute who explained that the fire houses have been identified by satellites are not burning rainforest generally the rainforest doesn't burn because it's so damp and humid what can happen is that low level fis can burn the leaf litter on the forest i flow and this can scorch the trunks of the trees and callum off these files are not visible from space and their effects are only evident once the trees have died off which may take a euro reversed point then is that the fires may be more extensive than we know at present. The fires that we can see from space are carrying on land which is being cleared. It's common practice for farmers to burn off weeds. Where land has been recently cleared. The trees are left to dry out and then abundant. One of the major consequences of these files is smoke soot in the atmosphere leading millions of people to seek treatment for respiratory diseases smoke from the falls code sao paulo which is mulling one thousand miles away from the amazon to be plunged into an apocalyptic darkness in the nineteenth of august the new president of brazil k. A. bowl sonata has taken a very hard line on the amazon weakening the brazilian environment ministry and turning a blind eye to illegal logging and deforestation he the amazon as a resource to be exploited by minus farmers and loggers as reported recently when the brazilian satellite satellite monitoring agency revealed significant increases in the rate of deforestation. The president denied that it was true on the director of the agency was dismissed. Does the amazon produce twenty percent of the world oxygen. It depends how you calculate but according to daniel napster it consumes a lot as as well and the net effect is more or less neutral. He sees the most important function of the forest as cooling effect as every every drop of water transpired by the trees evaporates. It cools the atmosphere you the effect of this across the whole forest is enough to have an effect on the climate of the whole world. Let's not forget the consequences of the fires and the deforestation policies for the indigenous peoples of the amazon amazon basin. They see the homes that food sources their way of life destroyed tribes that have been wolf generations a coming together against a common enemy enemy. Surely the global community should take that pont in our own interest as well as this president bolsonaro initially initially suggested the ngos had deliberately set the forest on fire in order to embarrass the government rejected the twenty two million dollars that politicians titians attending the reason g seven summit in biarritz pledged to help fight the fis.
