President is touring Brazil in bid to win back voters before October election – and appears to be making headway
telling thousands of yellow-clad believers they faced a momentous battle of good versus evil
“Good has always triumphed – and this time it will be no different. Good will prevail!” the outsider bellowed as his followers encircled the stage that had been erected to welcome him to this sweltering satellite town in north-east Brazil
The speech-maker was Jair Bolsonaro
far-right populist championed in almost celestial terms by his supporters
He’s my warrior,” said Diego Rodrigues da Silva
an evangelical Christian who had ridden to the event on a bicycle painted with the word “Jesus”
She called Bolsonaro “the only real president I’ve ever seen”
Minutes later, the throng erupted in euphoric cheers as their trailblazer arrived on a white horse with his country’s yellow and green flag draped over its neck. “Brazil above everything,” Bolsonaro shouted. “God above all,” they screamed back – the slogan of Bolsonaro’s illiberal administration since his shock 2018 election win
That administration will seek to extend its stay in power in October when 150 million Brazilians choose the next leader of Latin America’s biggest democracy
Read moreAt the start of this year some Bolsonaro opponents hoped his chances of a second term had evaporated
with polls showing a yawning gap between the former army captain and his leftist rival
the ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
But in recent weeks Bolsonaro’s polling has improved
dashing progressive predictions that he was out for the count
“I don’t think the election is won – far from it,” said Jairo Nicolau, the author of a book exploring Bolsonaro’s astonishingly resilient support base
Nicolau still considered Lula the clear favourite thanks to his popularity among female voters
But the election is still six months away and the spell Bolsonaro has cast over many conservatives – a “cultural phenomenon” Nicolau likens to Trumpism – meant he was no ordinary foe
millions of Bolsonaro voters would stand by their man
He has established a rapport with part of Brazil that’s really rare for a politician
It’s almost as if he’s a footballing idol … They see Bolsonaro as a hero,” Nicolau said

a conservative city that grew around an airbase built to support allied efforts in the second world war and is home to many military officials
who cruised to the airport to greet Bolsonaro on his three-wheeled motorcycle
is a typical representative of Bolsonaro’s base
But he also enjoys support on Parnamirim’s dilapidated outskirts
partly thanks to billions of pounds in welfare payments being dished out ahead of the vote
“He has a real connection to the poor,” said Ana Paula da Silva
an evangelical 29-year-old who is pregnant with her fourth child and survives on an £80 monthly government allowance called Auxílio Brasil
Logic suggested her husband would support Lula
Ronaldo Cavalcante was born into rural poverty in the same town
was also a Bolsonaro fan and said he would consider giving their unborn child the president’s second name
The potentially tight nature of what looks set to be a two-horse race between Bolsonaro and Lula has left many bracing for a fraught and possibly violent period. Adding to those fears are the tens of thousands of firearms that have gone into circulation under a pro-gun president who has dramatically loosened gun laws
Critics accuse Bolsonaro of inviting disorder with his confrontational language
“An armed population will never be enslaved,” he told supporters in Parnamirim
several of whom wore T-shirts stamped with images of revolvers or assault rifles

a leftwing activist and teacher who lives nearby
voiced outrage at the divisive “good and evil” rhetoric being used by Bolsonaro
“No matter how many times he says he represents good
he’s actually evil disguised as good – and people are waking up to this,” she said
a softly spoken evangelist who was part of Bolsonaro’s reception committee
recognised the president’s “brutish style” but said it was necessary as he was striving to save Brazil from what he called communist totalitarianism
“He’s not a polished guy – but he’s doing what we want done,” the 58-year-old preacher said after evening worship in his church
The next morning Sousa joined Bolsonaro on stage in Parnamirim wearing a yellow jersey symbolising his loyalty
“God lifted up this man and no one touches those lifted up by God – no one!” the evangelist proclaimed
urging supporters to raise their arms in prayer
we thank you for the life of our president
It was for this moment in history that you raised him up – and you
As Bolsonaristas streamed out of the event they passed the right-wing activist Walter Sabino
who was hawking copies of a self-published book denouncing a supposed leftwing media conspiracy against the president
“Why did I write this?” Sabino asks in the introduction to ‘Bolsonaro v The Press: Distortions
“Simple: because I believe in my country and I do not want it to be seized by the left again … I believe I’m one of millions of cogs God is using to rescue this nation.”
claimed Bolsonaro was being unfairly demonised by leftist infiltrators in the media: “They paint him as a monster … but increasingly people realise he’s nothing of the sort: that he’s a simple
Bolsonaro devotees spotted their captain departing via light railway and Sabino’s voice was overwhelmed by their exhilarated chants
“Do you really think a person like this will come second?” the author wondered as his compatriots howled in delight

Brazil's Air Force confirmed Friday the successful launch of an unmanned rocket into space
The unit was built with 100% national technology
it was also explained at the Barreira do Inferno Center in Parnamirim
The VS-30 suborbital sounding rocket took off at 13:19 and remained in space for 2 minutes and 50 seconds before landing in the Atlantic Ocean
The entire mission lasted 5 minutes and 50 seconds and ended the first phase of Operation Potiguar
The Brazilian-built spacecraft is about eight meters long and weighs 1.5 tons at liftoff
Friday's flight was filled with more than 1,000 letters from public school students
Although suborbital vehicles cannot enter orbit
they can reach altitudes above the atmosphere
They are used in scientific and technological experiments of interest to various industries
The purpose of the launch was to train the team
as well as to test equipment and processes
the rocket followed the trajectory as planned
and the telemetry and radar response systems functioned correctly throughout the flight
The initiative seeks to generate greater Brazilian autonomy in launching events of this type of vehicle
Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) Director Brigadier Maurício Augusto Silveira de Medeiros explained
another rocket of the same model will be used to qualify the recovery system for the upper part of the vehicle
known as the microgravity suborbital platform (PSM)
at a public health hospital in the same state

(ANS – Parnamirim) – The Don Bosco Salesian Institute in Parnamirim opened its new sports facility, the Don Bosco Gymnasium on Monday 16 September. The opening ceremony, which took place in the afternoon with Mass, the blessing of the space and the opening of the Interclass Games, was part of the celebrations for the 15th anniversary of the school's foundation.
"In addition to expanding leisure and sports options for students, the new space reaffirms the institute's commitment to the integral formation of young people, through an environment that encourages physical well-being, social interaction and sports practice, in line with the ideals of Don Bosco," said Fr Ilmário Pinheiro, the Rector.
The system includes an official multi-sport field, toilets and changing rooms suitable for people with special needs, as well as an administrative room, a warehouse and a parking lot with 235 parking spaces, compliant with municipal regulations.
The infrastructure offers a modern and accessible space for sport.
The technological innovations of the Don Bosco Salesian gym include thermal and acoustic insulation panels, the use of natural lighting and the intelligent automation system that allows remote control of lights, gates and air conditioning.
“The work was completed in just seven months, after 11 months of project planning and development. With the official dimensions for the various sports disciplines, thermal comfort and fire-fighting system, the gym offers a complete structure for school and sports events, " explained the engineer in charge of the works, Thiago Pinto.

Print (Victor Moriyama / For The Times) Violence in Natal
the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte in northeast Brazil had already reached astronomical levels well before a prison rebellion at Alcaçuz State Penitentiary killed 26 inmates
The number of homicides in the state increased 232% between 2005 and 2015
compiled by the Institute of Applied Economic Research
the director of Rio Grande do Norte’s criminal investigation unit (Itep) since October of last year
says he has seen the number of violent deaths in the region steadily increase since his days as a crime scene investigator
when the PCC started making its presence known
and many of the people who end up in his morgue appear to have died because of gang-related violence
He now sees an average of eight violent deaths per day — which also include deaths by suicide and other violent accidents — but that number can sometimes reach up to 14
Because of the increase in homicides in the state
the institution’s nine pathologists struggle to keep up with the number of bodies they receive on any given day
Brandão says he is in the process of hiring more doctors to work at Itep
and is currently renovating part of their workspace to make room for more refrigeration units
has to send samples for DNA testing out of state
because Rio Grande do Norte has yet to implement its own lab
