:00:07. > :00:09.For two weeks, Brazil has been the centre of the world.
:00:10. > :00:33.We sat down with the country's former president, Lula da Silva.
:00:34. > :00:36.Aid workers were targeted in South Sudan last month.
:00:37. > :00:40.Their harrowing stories can tonight be told for the first time.
:00:41. > :00:43.This sort of acted like a trigger for the soldier
:00:44. > :00:48.Two shots were fired and he immediately fell to the ground.
:00:49. > :00:50.Donald Trump's campaign manager is out.
:00:51. > :00:53.Can Trump pull his Presidential bid back from the brink of defeat?
:00:54. > :01:02.And Steve Smith takes to his Olympic sofa for the last time.
:01:03. > :01:04.Wouldn't it be great to have a synchronised swimmer
:01:05. > :01:08.He'll drag you underwater and do all kinds of
:01:09. > :01:32.If they awarded medals for Olympic Games organisation,
:01:33. > :01:37.would Rio get gold, silver, bronze or no place at all on the podium?
:01:38. > :01:40.The grimmest predictions of chaos, even carnage, haven't come
:01:41. > :01:43.true, but Brazil remains a country in crisis.
:01:44. > :01:45.Already beset by economic turmoil and political scandal,
:01:46. > :01:50.when the bunting's down and Usain Bolt and co have bolted,
:01:51. > :01:54.it may be left in an even sorrier state than before.
:01:55. > :01:57.In a moment an exclusive Newsnight interview with Lula da Silva,
:01:58. > :02:02.Brazil's former President - the man who brought the Olympics
:02:03. > :02:04.to the country himself now facing corruption allegations.
:02:05. > :02:06.But first, a look at the Brazil lurking behind
:02:07. > :02:21.It has the fifth largest population in the world.
:02:22. > :02:27.For 12 years it was one of the fastest-growing
:02:28. > :02:32.The "B" of those BRIC countries that Goldman Sachs said would be
:02:33. > :02:35.at the vanguard of a global economic shift, and despite warnings
:02:36. > :02:37.that they wouldn't be ready for the Olympics,
:02:38. > :02:44.Albeit with a couple of garish green swimming pools.
:02:45. > :02:47.But behind the glamour of the Games, Brazil is fighting a financial
:02:48. > :02:51.crisis, the Zika epidemic and waves of popular protests.
:02:52. > :02:55.A high-level investigation - Operation Car Wash -
:02:56. > :02:57.is delving into allegations of money laundering and corruption
:02:58. > :03:01.in the state-controlled oil company, Petrobras.
:03:02. > :03:04.The country now has a budget deficit standing at 10%
:03:05. > :03:09.of its GDP and 11 million people are unemployed.
:03:10. > :03:13.35% of the population live in poverty and the country records
:03:14. > :03:17.nearly 60,000 violent deaths every year.
:03:18. > :03:19.The president, Dilma Rousseff, is currently suspended,
:03:20. > :03:23.accused of obstructing justice and facing impeachment
:03:24. > :03:26.for alleged financial mismanagement of the economy.

:03:31. > :03:36.He started work as a shoeshine boy and street vendor, rising to power
:03:37. > :03:42.A left-wing populist praised by President Obama,
:03:43. > :03:45.he oversaw the bid to bring the Olympic Games to Rio and won
:03:46. > :03:48.the sort of approval ratings most international leaders can
:03:49. > :03:55.But now he, too, is charged with misconduct in the Operation
:03:56. > :03:59.He is being formally charged with trying to obstruct justice
:04:00. > :04:04.in the corruption scandal at the state oil company Petrobras.
:04:05. > :04:08.So, will his country's decline prove a precursor
:04:09. > :04:11.to his own or could there be a second post-Olympic act

:04:15. > :04:23.BBC Brazil's Julia Carneiro spoke exclusively for Newsnight to former

:04:35. > :04:35.justice in the corruption scandal at state oil
:04:36. > :04:36.company Petrobras, and now
:04:37. > :04:39.you have appealed to the United Nations, to the Human Rights
:04:40. > :05:21.Why did you decide to go to the United Nations?
:05:22. > :05:23.You have been talking about a witchhunt from the
:05:24. > :05:27.media, from prosecutors, but on the other hand, you're also
:05:28. > :06:04.Is it not fair that these investigations be carried out?
:06:05. > :06:55.With the way things are going, do you fear being arrested?
:06:56. > :06:58.What was the legacy that you had envisioned
:06:59. > :07:01.from the Olympics, and how do you think things will be now,
:07:02. > :08:25.Many of Brazil's problems were exposed
:08:26. > :08:27.during the Olympic Games, like the lack
:08:28. > :08:32.were robbed - how do you think that this
:08:33. > :08:33.affected the image of the
:08:34. > :09:08.What made you proud and what embarrassed you?
:09:09. > :09:10.With the situation that we're seeing right
:09:11. > :09:39.now in the country, do you worry for Brazil in the next year?
:09:40. > :09:47.Thank you very much, President Lula.
:09:48. > :09:49.Already facing allegations of being a candidate without a campaign,
:09:50. > :09:51.Donald Trump today lost the man ostensibly in charge
:09:52. > :09:56.Paul Manafort, who became campaign chairman just two months
:09:57. > :09:59.ago after the previous incumbent was fired,
:10:00. > :10:04.resigned after the publication of revelations detailing his ties
:10:05. > :10:06.to pro-Russian interests and the former Ukrainian President,
:10:07. > :10:12.Shortly before coming on air, I spoke to our correspondent,
:10:13. > :10:14.Tom Burridge, who is in the Ukrainian capital,
:10:15. > :10:19.I asked him first whether, in the absence of a concrete reason
:10:20. > :10:21.for Manafort's resignation, it was likely that those
:10:22. > :10:26.Ukrainian connections had played a significant part.
:10:27. > :10:29.Yes, I think the primary reason is probably to do
:10:30. > :10:35.The Trump campaign nosediving for a shake-up and Paul Manafort goes.
:10:36. > :10:38.But the Ukrainian end of the thing hasn't been going away either.
:10:39. > :10:42.Essentially, Paul Manafort's name appears in these documents
:10:43. > :10:48.It is alleged to be a kind of black book, if you like,
:10:49. > :10:53.Paul Manafort's name appears 22 times on 19 pages.
:10:54. > :10:55.If you take the figures corresponding to the 22 entries
:10:56. > :10:58.with Paul Manafort's name, add up those figures
:10:59. > :11:02.of the 22 entries and you get a figure of $12.7 million.
:11:03. > :11:04.Now, there is no suggestion or evidence that Paul Manafort has
:11:05. > :11:08.received any of the money listed in these documents and in
:11:09. > :11:12.a statement earlier in the week he said that the idea
:11:13. > :11:14.that he received any cash payments is unfounded,
:11:15. > :11:19.But the anti-corruption bureau here in Ukraine and the MP
:11:20. > :11:21.who received these documents and has investigated is certain
:11:22. > :11:25.that they are kosher, that the documents are genuine.
:11:26. > :11:29.And all this, of course, unfolding against the backdrop
:11:30. > :11:33.of Mr Trump's relatively warm rhetoric towards Vladimir Putin?
:11:34. > :11:37.Yes, firstly some comments that riled people here in Ukraine
:11:38. > :11:41.when Donald Trump in an interview on a US network said that
:11:42. > :11:45.from the people he had spoken to, most people he thought in Crimea
:11:46. > :11:48.were happy that Russia had annexed the peninsula and also,
:11:49. > :11:50.as you say, he said on many occasions that
:11:51. > :11:53.President Putin is someone he could do business with.
:11:54. > :11:57.On the other hand, his campaign manager until today,
:11:58. > :12:00.Paul Manafort, was a man who came here to Ukraine for nigh on a decade
:12:01. > :12:03.doing political consultancy work and PR work for the former
:12:04. > :12:07.president, Viktor Yanukovich, the man, of course, who fled this
:12:08. > :12:11.country in 2014 after turning his back on the association agreement
:12:12. > :12:15.with the European Union in favour of a deal with Russia.
:12:16. > :12:17.And then he was, of course, forced from power.
:12:18. > :12:21.On the one hand you could say that Paul Manafort was doing political
:12:22. > :12:22.consultancy work for a foreign government and he
:12:23. > :12:33.On the other hand you could say he was working for a regime
:12:34. > :12:36.and a leader that was corrupt to the core and he helped keep
:12:37. > :12:41.And joining us now from New York is Jason Meister, a Trump supporter
:12:42. > :12:52.To lose one campaign chief might be considered misfortune, to lose two
:12:53. > :12:58.of them is beginning to look like crass incompetence. How can he run
:12:59. > :13:03.our country? That is a good media spin but that is not what is really
:13:04. > :13:08.happening, we have come of the best week so far since the Cleveland
:13:09. > :13:12.Convention, our opinion poll numbers are narrowing and that is of the
:13:13. > :13:18.back of registered voters as opposed to likely voters and what the media
:13:19. > :13:22.has missed in this election is the enthusiasm behind Trump supporters
:13:23. > :13:26.and voters, the turnout has been historic, the only candidate in
:13:27. > :13:35.history that has as many votes in the primary... I want to be clear
:13:36. > :13:43.that I have not missed anything, you had a 2% lead for Clinton in the LA
:13:44. > :13:48.Times, another had 5%, YouGov has 6%, NBC has 9%, I am possibly
:13:49. > :13:52.missing something. He get rid of Manafort because things are going so
:13:53. > :13:57.well? Things are going well. He got rid of the campaign chief because
:13:58. > :14:00.things are going well? Things are going well and at certain times
:14:01. > :14:07.during the campaign it calls for certain skills and Bannon is an
:14:08. > :14:12.incredible guy for the home stretch and what everyone is missing is what
:14:13. > :14:18.the American people are faced with. This campaign is not about what
:14:19. > :14:23.someone says in the rally, this is about the issues facing America. The
:14:24. > :14:27.economy, national security, and immigration. These are the three
:14:28. > :14:31.issues that voters will be voting on when it comes to election day. And
:14:32. > :14:36.what is Hillary Clinton? The poster child of what is wrong with
:14:37. > :14:43.Washington, DC. And this election is about the outsider. This is about
:14:44. > :14:46.Donald Trump's campaign and I am sorry to Labour this, can you
:14:47. > :14:50.explain by you get rid of the campaign chief when things are
:14:51. > :14:54.going, under your analysis, which is perhaps a little bit subjective,
:14:55. > :14:57.going so well? Any other example where you would get rid of the man
:14:58. > :15:03.in charge when things go brilliantly? Like I said, during the
:15:04. > :15:06.campaign certain skills have an impact on the campaign, I think the
:15:07. > :15:14.home stretch, we have the right people in place and Donald Trump, he
:15:15. > :15:18.has stayed on message. He is talking about the economy and national
:15:19. > :15:25.security. And we're going to start to see, and what you start to see is
:15:26. > :15:32.what is Hillary Clinton? They are... There is criminal tools to this.
:15:33. > :15:39.Bribery. What is Bannon has to do before Mr Trump gets rid of him? How
:15:40. > :15:45.good do you have to be? I think if we stay on message and we let, we
:15:46. > :15:50.peel the onion on the corruption and criminality and the pay for play,
:15:51. > :15:53.Americans do not want corruption in Washington and we're going to have
:15:54. > :15:59.to get rid of that and change it and that is what Trump represents. OK.
:16:00. > :16:05.Some of the other elements of Mr Trump is my campaign have attracted
:16:06. > :16:09.attention and I would like your personal reaction. I think you have
:16:10. > :16:12.a daughter, when she's old enough to have a job, if she is sexually
:16:13. > :16:17.harassed, would you be comfortable with the advice that she should find
:16:18. > :16:28.another job? That is what Mr Trump suggest. I think you need to look at
:16:29. > :16:31.the economy. We want to look at statements he is making in the
:16:32. > :16:36.campaign and what you think about them. How do you feel about his
:16:37. > :16:39.suggestion that victims of sexual harassment should just find new
:16:40. > :16:44.jobs? That is not what this election is about. It is about the issues,
:16:45. > :16:49.and we need to stay focused on the issues and stay on message. And the
:16:50. > :16:56.message tonight is, things are going so well, we've sacked our campaign
:16:57. > :16:58.chief. Thank you very much indeed for your time.
:16:59. > :17:01.For almost three years, South Sudan, the world's youngest country,
:17:02. > :17:04.has been involved in a bloody and complex multi ethnic civil war
:17:05. > :17:07.between rival factions loyal to President Salva Kiir,
:17:08. > :17:13.from the Dinka ethnic group, and Riek Machar, who is ethnic Nuer.
:17:14. > :17:19.Right now, a tentative ceasefire is in place but in June fighting
:17:20. > :17:27.On July 11th, the compound at Hotel Terrain, which housed teams
:17:28. > :17:29.of international staff from a several organisations -
:17:30. > :17:35.many who were aid workers - was overrun by South Sudanese troops
:17:36. > :17:38.fresh from winning a battle with opposition forces.
:17:39. > :17:40.Their rampage saw one Nuer journalist murdered,
:17:41. > :17:42.women raped and gang raped, dozens of staff assaulted
:17:43. > :17:49.A United Nations base was just up the road,
:17:50. > :17:52.less than a mile away, and the UN is now being
:17:53. > :17:56.accused of not responding properly to the attack.
:17:57. > :17:59.This is the story of that day, told to Newsnight by five
:18:00. > :18:03.of the people who were there - two Americans, a Philippine aid
:18:04. > :18:06.worker called Gian Libot, and two other Westerners.
:18:07. > :18:09.To protect their identities, we have asked actors
:18:10. > :18:13.I must warn you this film contains deeply distressing
:18:14. > :18:26.Monday morning was stressful but it wasn't out of the ordinary anymore.
:18:27. > :18:29.So we were actually feeling pretty good until someone said there had
:18:30. > :18:34.I don't remember who, but they said that the soldiers had
:18:35. > :18:43.breached the front gate and coming into the compound.
:18:44. > :18:47.So I sent my first message to the UN to say that our gate had been
:18:48. > :18:49.breached and that was one of many messages that I sent
:18:50. > :18:57.We heard people breaking into the compound.
:18:58. > :19:03.They were shooting and stealing things.
:19:04. > :19:06.About an hour later they figured out where we were and they methodically
:19:07. > :19:13.So I was hiding underneath the bed at the first sign of
:19:14. > :19:18.And the first thing they did was shout.
:19:19. > :19:20."Where is the money, where is the laptop,
:19:21. > :19:24.They kept asking people, what is your nationality,
:19:25. > :19:38.John was one of our local colleagues and he sought refuge with us
:19:39. > :19:42.because he thought he would be safer with his international colleagues.
:19:43. > :19:45.When the soldiers first entered the building they saw John run
:19:46. > :19:49.from one of the apartment rooms and they grabbed him.
:19:50. > :19:52.They threw him to the ground and they started beating
:19:53. > :19:56.And while this was happening a few of the soldiers came
:19:57. > :20:06.One of the distinct words that came out was a word, "Nuer",
:20:07. > :20:08.and this sort of acted like a trigger for the soldier
:20:09. > :20:11.Two shots were fired and he immediately
:20:12. > :20:16.It was clear the situation had really escalated.
:20:17. > :20:19.Successive waves of soldiers came into the room and they separated
:20:20. > :20:29.I was trapped in a room and repeatedly raped.
:20:30. > :20:32.Sometimes by one person, sometimes with many people in the room.
:20:33. > :20:37.Until I was taken out of that room and I was put in another room and it
:20:38. > :20:44.I went to hide inside the bathroom with another 11 people.
:20:45. > :20:48.Everyone was trying to write messages on Facebook,
:20:49. > :20:57.One of the soldiers looked me right in the eye.
:20:58. > :21:09.And he started aggressively patting me down.
:21:10. > :21:17.He put a gun to my head and he said, "if you don't have sex with me then
:21:18. > :21:25.every soldier in the room will have sex with you and then
:21:26. > :21:29.So he made it very clear that there really wasn't another option.
:21:30. > :21:32.And he was telling me to "open your legs, open your legs".
:21:33. > :21:39.So then he pulled my pants off completely and took
:21:40. > :21:59.Some of the soldiers were aggressive and they kept shouting
:22:00. > :22:06.And they tried to get the others involved,
:22:07. > :22:13.Some of the soldiers wanted to sit down and make small talk,
:22:14. > :22:15.like we were on on some sort of date.
:22:16. > :22:21.One of them, it wasn't one of the ones who raped me,
:22:22. > :22:32.And I said, your soldiers raped me and I'm upset
:22:33. > :22:46.Because this is the work of God and not the work of man.
:22:47. > :22:58.It was about 7pm, 7.30pm later that day and we were extracted
:22:59. > :23:07.We actually got taken to the National Security building
:23:08. > :23:14.and there were again many men in uniforms standing around.
:23:15. > :23:18.They were all pretending they didn't know what had happened to us.
:23:19. > :23:30.And at that point, one of my colleagues was saying,
:23:31. > :23:37.I don't think you understand what we have just been through.
:23:38. > :23:49.And this man said, I'm sorry for the inconvenience
:23:50. > :24:06.I went out and tried to see if there was anybody,
:24:07. > :24:14.These soldiers saw me and ordered me to go to this apartment.
:24:15. > :24:18.And with his gun he touched me everywhere.
:24:19. > :24:32.He ordered me to take my pants off and I saw my friend being raped.
:24:33. > :24:37.And he ordered me to go there and I had to wait
:24:38. > :24:48.Then they went away and there was this long and terrible
:24:49. > :25:03.Generally, the compound has security lighting.
:25:04. > :25:11.And it was actually just pitch black.
:25:12. > :25:13.There was rubble everywhere because they had upended everything
:25:14. > :25:22.I kept creeping out of my hiding place every so often to listen
:25:23. > :25:28.I wanted to get out of there and find a time when I could run
:25:29. > :25:31.We could see John's body was still on the ground.
:25:32. > :25:36.And we covered it with a sheet out of respect.
:25:37. > :25:41.The first moment that I understood that morning has arrived,
:25:42. > :25:48.Once I heard the birds I said to my friend,
:25:49. > :25:52.the birds are singing, morning has arrived.
:25:53. > :26:05.We survive, we were whisked out of the country and given
:26:06. > :26:12.We are taken back to our homes that are in relatively stable parts
:26:13. > :26:14.of the world and we are looked after.
:26:15. > :26:16.It's a horrific experience and a traumatic thing
:26:17. > :26:27.For the women of South Sudan, that experience of rape in a much
:26:28. > :26:30.more violent way and much more often than we ever would, but they didn't

:26:37. > :26:41.The UN has been criticised for not acting quickly enough
:26:42. > :26:45.to come to the aid of those in the Hotel Terrain,
:26:46. > :26:49.and today we asked to speak to someone from the organisation,
:26:50. > :26:53.This week, a statement from the UN Secretary General's office said that

:28:06. > :28:08.Secondly, it's not my flat but it belongs to a familiar face.
