BBC World Service - Newshour, Brazil Elections: Far-Right Bolsonaro Wins First Round

Jair Bolsonaro failed to win the 50% of all valid votes needed for an outright victory.

Brazil's far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro has won the first round of the country's general election but not an outright majority. We hear reactions and expectations of the election's upcoming second round from our team on the ground. 

Also in the programme - a major UN report on climate change warns of catastrophic changes to the planet, and how Africa's debt doubled in two years.
