Brazil: Lula win brings hope for Amazon

We'll look at what Lula's victory could mean for Amazon deforestation.

Brazil's president-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will take over a country almost equally divided between his supporters and those of the defeated president Jair Bolsonaro. The president-elect said his aim was to achieve zero-deforestation after big increases in the destruction of the rainforest during President Bolsonaro's term. Our Climate Correspondent explains. We'll also hear what else voters expect from Lula's presidency.

Reports suggest Twitter could begin charging users $20 a month to have a blue tick on their profile, after the new owner Elon Musk said the process of gaining the tick will be revised. Our business reporter explains.

We'll have the latest on the bridge collapse in Gujarat in India.
