BBC World Service - Weekend, Brazilian Women March Against Bolsonaro

The country's faltering economy means Jair Bolsonaro is now the Presidential frontrunner.

Tens of thousands of women in Brazil have taken to the streets across the country to protest against the far-right presidential candidate and frontrunner Jair Bolsonaro. We look at what role the economy has played in boosting support for the populist candidate.

Also in the programme: We hear why children who read are happier than those who don’t, and we speak to the Ravenmaster of the Tower of London.
