Lula's New Brazil
Violence, inflation, inequality and division: Brazil is in the middle of a fiery political transition. President Lula da Silva wants to undo his right-wing predecessor's legacy.
Brazil's new President Lula da Silva faces a multitude of crises - not least rebuilding and reunifying the country after the election battle with his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro. In January, post-election violence erupted as Bolsonaro supporters attacked the heart of the Brazilian government - seen as a culmination of months of deepening political polarization. The cost of living crisis continues to be a critical theme with rising poverty, desperation, and food insecurity in South America's largest economy. Global Questions travels to Rio de Janeiro where Lyse Doucet and a high profile panel take questions from a local audience.
