of politics that we are not used to in brazil. he was elected. so, do not dismiss bolsonaro yet, but yes, lula ended -- one final point -- lula, in order to be elected, to prevail, he will have to make alliances. remember one thing, the two times the workers party ran successfully for the presidency, president lula, president yuma josef, they run in alliance with very moderate conservative candidates. these are very conservative leaders that represent a right wing up in brazilian society, so this is still a complicated game. not clear at all. and it will remain like that for the foreseeable future. mohammed: gustavo, it looks like you want to jump in, so please. please, go ahead. >> no, i just want to add something about impeachment, because i do not believe that impeachment is on the table right now, for a few reasons. one, there's very little time left in bolsonaro's term, and these processes take a long time, so it would be very convoluted. and we have to bear in mind that next year, congress will only work for until half of th

c. polo sotero, distinguished fellow at the woodrow wilson center is brazil institute. welcome to the program and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story paulo. let me start with you today. how damaging is this report and how likely is it that president bull scenario would ultimately face trial? as a result, you will face trial, but not this year, not next year. i believe he will face trial was he is defeated in the presidential election of next year. which is a likely scenario he will be right for the crimes that were listed by the congressional committee, but obviously at the local me to report a butch to record straight at this man committed enormous atrocities. he, him and his associates. and he will respond politically at their he is obviously a soccer shield, political shoot for him, organized the congress by his reporters. so the idea that the residents could be in peach, it is far fact. it was probably, it's very like gustavo, as damning as this report. is it could also have been much worse. there was an earlier draft version that i believe had calle

does that mean in brazil that you feel you are an activist? more and more young people are interested in climate issues in brazil, and in the amazon. i am a journalist, i think the activists are different animals. but i would be an activist if not a journalist. this is a huge challenge in the world, and so, yeah, i think environment and climate and things like that are important, and in this sense i am acting in my role as an activist. tom, does it present a challenge? there will never be one day - when we can say climate change has happened, it will always be - ambiguous things, there will be some heatwave in sub—saharan africa - which kills some number of people, is that climate change? probably. but there is no... this will continue to - happen, a real challenge. it willjust be the world getting slightly- worse in lots of little ways that. you cannot ever really specifically say, this is climate change, you always have to say... . it will always make it hard to have a big headline - that says, climate - change has done this. also to say,

coal is not a big issue for a country like brazil, but deforestation is a huge issue. so i think somehow, we should change, a little bit, our perspective, and start to talk more between the global south countries like brazil and congo, and indonesia — all these mega—diverse countries where we have a lot in common. you mentioned the amazon earlier — clearly many people will know how key the amazon is to all this. but in the spirit of wolfgang's call for us to learn more about climate change, just explain why brazil is so important when it comes to climate change — not just for your country, but for the whole world. yeah, good, thank you. first of all, we are important i think for two big reasons. the first is brazil is one of the biggest emitters in the world because when we deforest, or burn the forest, there are big greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. the other thing is that the forest is important because, for many reasons, not only because trees capture and store carbon, but also because of the biodiversity — it's a huge treasure that we don't know

we begin tonight with a pandemic reckoning in brazil. a brazilian committee recommended bringing charges against president bolsonaro for his catastrophic handling of the coronavirus pandemic. the proposed charges include crimes against humanity. after six months of hearings, a senate in re: found bolsonaro's -- a senate inquiry found bolsonaro's government acted too slowly to fight the coronavirus, exposing the population to mass infection. bolsonaro has rejected the findings as politically motivated and says he is guilty of nothing. the fact remains that brazil has one of the world's worst death tolls from the coronavirus with over 600,000 dead. >>600 handkerchiefs on copacabana beach, one for every 1000 brazilians you lost their lives to covid. to what extent is brazil's high death toll due to mismanagement by the government of bolsonaro? the president opposed lockdowns from the start because of their economic impact. bolsonaro often appears in public without a mask and has been openly skeptical of vaccines, bragging about not being va
