BBC World Service - Weekend, Far Right Leads Brazil Polls

Far right candidate leads in Brazil polls; Trump criticises media for sowing disharmony

The far right candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, leads in the polls in Brazil; President Trump criticises the media accusing it of sowing disharmony and exploiting the arrest of a registered Republican for sending a series of letter bombs; the American huntress and the controversy over the killing of a wild goat in Scotland.  Paul Henley discusses these and other topics with panellists, Sue Black, forensic scientist and Pro-Vice Chancellor Engagement, at Lancaster University; and Afzal Ashraf, defence analyst, and assistant professor at Nottingham University's school of politics and international relations.
