Brazilian election; polygraphs in Ukraine; Teotihuacan's tunnels in Mexico; South African Indians; My 91热爆 Town Eldorat Kenya; 91热爆 Pashto in Northern Ireland. With David Amanor.
Brazilians vote this weekend for a new President and currently ahead in the polls is right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro.

Camilla Costa of 91热爆 Brasil has been following a campaign she describes as 鈥渜uite a ride鈥.
