00:00Also with the decisive boat approaching in Brazil, the presidential race has
00:04tied into a visual tie. The latest quest poll shows Flavio Bolsonaro at 45% and
00:11Luis Inácio Lula da Silva at 44%. Amid the narrowing gap, Lula has unveiled key
00:17social initiatives including an expansion of Bolsa Familia and free
00:21weekend public transport. For the full details from Rio de Janeiro, Belen de los
00:25Santos has the details. Hello Studios, exactly here from Rio de Janeiro. One of
00:31the main news of the week is this new poll, the quest poll. It is actually one
00:36of the polls that many analysts are following because it's one of the most
00:39prestigious and it came out today and it's showing a difference of just one
00:44point between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva. Flavio Bolsonaro is standing at
00:4945% according to this latest data and Luis Inácio Lula da Silva at
00:5544. This continues a trend in which this gap has been more and more narrow as
01:02the days go by. Some of the key things that have been happening for the
01:07campaign, particularly on the side of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, that we have to
01:12keep in mind for this week in particular. We have an increase in the Bolsa
01:17Familia plan. Let's recall that this is a very important plan that is
01:22constantly actualized and it benefits those most vulnerable with the basics
01:28that they need for everyday life. It's an important plan, particularly for the
01:33government of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and really just a flagship project overall
01:38in terms of social needs and social benefits. Then we had this proposal of
01:44President Lula da Silva as well to open all bank secrecy, so to lift it so that all
01:50information for the past eight years for him and his family would be out in the
01:55open as long as Flavio Bolsonaro was willing to do the same. This is a
02:00proactive measure in order to propose to the entire population amid accusations of
02:07corruption on one side or the other that the President has nothing to hide and of
02:12course pushing the candidate of Bolsonaro into a corner to see if he who has been
02:18speaking for example in the last debate about the corruption of the workers
02:22party if he is willing to do the same. So another point that might have an
02:27important impact in the public's opinion. And finally today a proposal that had
02:33been announced before the constitutional amendment to free transport
02:38public transportation during the weekends and the impact that that could have as
02:43well again in the most vulnerable sectors particularly those who need that
02:48possibility in order to enjoy in the weekend their rest their time just as they
02:53can now enjoy those two paid rest days after the six times one scale of labor was
03:00abolished with the constitutional amendment that was passed last week. So major news and
03:06the key is how is this impacting on the population and how will this continue
03:11with this trend continuing to close the gap between the candidates and we'll see
03:17of course the results on October 25th. I go back to you now.
