Bolsonaro: The Man Dividing Brazil

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. To his supporters he鈥檚 the man to clean up politics and restore order, to his detractors he鈥檚 a misogynist who openly supports the former military dictatorship. Camilla Costa of 91热爆 Brasil has been following a campaign she describes as 鈥渜uite a ride鈥.

Truth and lies in Ukraine
Polygraphs, also known as lie detector tests, have long been popular in Ukraine for job interviews, but are now making their way into private life too, with suspicious spouses putting their partners to the test. Oksana Piddubna of 91热爆 Ukraine put the polygraph phenomenon under the spotlight.

Where men become Gods
91热爆 Mundo's Ana Gabriela Rojas grew up in Mexico City, and frequently visited the pre-Aztec pyramid site of Teotihuacan. It's a place that fascinates her, so when she got to chance to visit a tunnel complex underneath the site, not open to the public, she jumped at the chance.

South Africa鈥檚 Indian population
In the complex landscape of South African race relations one group is often overlooked; the descendants of the Indian labourers bought to work for the British Empire. Zubair Ahmed from 91热爆 Hindi recently visited and found a population of people still calling themselves Indian, with a very distinct and separate culture.

My 91热爆 Town: Eldorat
Beryl Munoko of 91热爆 Swahili takes us to her home in western Kenya.

An Afghan in Northern Ireland
91热爆 Pashto鈥檚 Inayatulhaq Yasini recently went to Northern Ireland to cover a cricket series between Afghanistan and the Republic of Ireland. He was also interested in finding out what Northern Ireland might teach Afghanistan about how to achieve peace.
