What does it mean for the environment in the southern oceans . The United Nations starts delivering aid to people in syrias northeast for the first time in three years, in hopes to reach 2000 people still trapped in a war zone. Good to have you with us. 9. 5 years behind bars is the sentence it resilient george judge has slapped on Lula Da Silva. It is part of a massive Corruption Case that has seen several politicians and Business Executives jailed. Lula had been considering running for president again in next years elections. He will reportedly remain free, pending an appeal. Join now by alex, an expert on brazilian politics of author of the book brazilianaires. It is good to see you again. Lets talk about Lula Da Silva. He was a top contender for next years election. Now he has been sentenced to prison. What does this ruling mean for him as a potential candidate . It is not promising, for his future as a candidate. More than a leader in the polls, he is an a massive figure in brazilian politics. The first brazilian president who ever grew up poor. He over soon oversaw one of the greatest economic booms, he was known around the world, he became a symbol of brazils economic attentional. This conviction is not just about the election of 2008 teen, it does 2018, it is about one of the fall of one of brazils great political phil gears figures. They are all implicated in Corruption Cases. What does this tell us about brazils political elite . Right. Corruption is endemic in brazil and it always has been. It has always been the grease in the gears of the system. Part of lulas pitch when he was running for president in 2002, he was going to break with that system, but he ended up playing the game. To an outsider it can look like things are going absolutely wrong in brazil, and in many ways, they are. All of these allegations we are seeing is also the sign of something positive, that this endemic corruption is finally being investigated. Host would you say then, alex, we are seeing checks and balances in the political system of brazil that are working . What we are seeing is the political system in brazil may be starting to change, may be starting to become cleaner. Maybe in the future congressman, instead of doing things for bribes, are going to do things with their constituents in mind. It is too early to say. Lulus conviction may be part of that transition. We need to see convictions from other parties. The president of the country is accused of corruption as well. It is a long way to go still. It could be the start of a new era in brazil. Host all right. Helping us understand the events in brazil tonight. Alex, as always, thank you very much. Now to the united states. Donald trumps nominee to lead the fbi says he fully supports Robert Muellers melding in the meddling in the u. S. Election. Christopher wray said that he does not believe the probe is a witchhunt, as trump has repeatedly labeled it. Wrays predecessor james comey had been leading the investigation before trump fired him in may. Lets understand what is going on in washington. Good to have you on the show. Lets talk about what you have been seeing today. Mr. Wray pledge to support the Ongoing Investigation of russian contt with Donald Trumps campaign. Do you believe that . I think so. I do think he is a good choice. What we also know, and what he knows donald trump knows, donald trump can fire him. That is basically the elephant in the room. That is a reality. You can be a really good fbi director, and be terminated at the president s will president s will. Like you and me, he reads the news, he sees the news, you know how sensitive the democrats will he knows how sensitive the democrats will be on this issue. He would like to slide through with the confirmation. Host he is aware of what is being reported. Does that make his testimony more credible, or just more polish . He is a polished man. He also has plenty of government experience. When are they telling the truth . When are they putting spin . It takes a professional politician and administrator to figure that out. I think that he did make a good impression on the democrats, who have no reason to trust anyone coming from the trump white house, who would otherwise be recommended. Host there was an exchange with Lindsey Graham from south carolina, who basically asked him, if someone comes to you, and says they have information about a candidate, and that person coming to you is from a foreign country, what do you do . He pushed him on it. He said you should call the fbi, first. Two things i want to ask you about. Common sense, and the second is the truth. That exchange showed they want someone to tell the truth. They have to dig for the truth all the time now. He is in a position where they have to pursue criminals and follow the law. It is not good when he gets ahead of the story. I think that it is good for him to be cautious in such matters. On the other hand, he could have just said the gore campaign, when they were given bush briefing books, they turned directly to the fbi. Host but that was not mentioned. We will see if that does come up again. The hearing will continue. Two syria now, the United Nations is delivering much needed aid, that for the first time in three years. The u. N. Hopes to reach 200,000 People Living in rural areas near raqqa. Fresh Food Supplies arrive at this refugee camp in iraq. Much to the relief of the thousands living here. Reopening of roads means those who fled here can expect regular deliveries for the first time in many months. I am from montserrat. The Islamic State militants not lead us leave. There was no food, no pet, no water, absolutely nothing. The Islamic State destroyed my house, took my documents, my sheep am a 50 hens. They took everything. Until now, the road was controlled by the Islamic State, forcing the United Nations to airdrop food to these displaced people. Recent gains made by u. S. Backed Opposition Forces have restored land links to the refugee camps. We did not have access by road since 2016. This allows us to support 250,000 people with lifesaving food and assistance every month. It allows us to help the displaced people in raqqa city. [indiscernible] the u. N. Furloughed food delivery, a sign that the problem is abetting. Host lets pick up where that report left off. With vladimir, he joins us in iraq. The World Food Program says it can deliver to promote parts of syrias east for the first time in years. How much is this a sign that antii. S. Forces are cheerful . Pushing forward . Once this is the first time the u. N. Is delivering food through an air bridge. So this is a positive sign. Another sign is the Syrian Democratic forces fighting in the city of rock and now, that is why they need support. Host antii. S. Forces are reportedly in control of parts of raqqa. How close are they to proclaiming that city and pushing out i. S. . In the beginning of the operation, one month ago, he operation was going very fast in the beginning, but now it is facing more resistance of isis. They have taken 20 of raqqa now. The expectation the rest of the fight will be very tough. It will be several months before raqqa is retaken. Host what is i. S. s capacity to strike back as it loses ground in iraq and syria . Isis is slowly move losing much of its territory, this doesnt mean they have sleeper cells and support. You still have to defeat their ideology. There is still a possibility in syria and iraq will be attacks by isis, maybe even in europe. We dont know that yet. Host vladimir, thank you very much. Here are the other stories making headlines around the world. Turkish police have killed five suspected i. S. Militants in a firefight they erected that erupted in a syrian city. The raid came after a tipoff that the militants are planning to target an event commemorating last years failed coup. The u. N. Says 38 mass graves have been discovered in the central congo.
