Who will be Brazil's next president?

Brazilians will vote on Sunday in the second and final round of presidential elections

Brazilians will vote on Sunday in the second and final round of presidential elections. Polls suggest former leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is ahead of his far-right rival - the current president Jair Bolsonaro. But after the first round was closer than expected, some think that doesn't tell the whole story. We'll speak to Brazilians across the country about the issues that matter to them, and who they want to run their country.

The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has completed his $44bn takeover of Twitter, the New York Stock Exchange has confirmed. Mr Musk tweeted "the bird is freed" and later said "let the good times roll". A number of top executives, including the boss, Parag Agrawal, have reportedly been fired. We'll explain who Elon Musk is - and hear from people on Twitter how they are feeling about the news.

And the cost of living continues to be a huge issue here in the UK. We speak to three single mothers about how they are coping during this crisis.
