Brazilians Vote in Tense Presidential Race

Frontrunner Jair Bolsonaro has vowed to tackle crime and reduce record high murder rates.

The far-right frontrunner to become the next president of Latin America’s largest democracy has vowed to make Brazil great again, as election-eve polls gave him a commanding lead in what many view as the most important election in its history.

Also in the programme: Saudi Arabia has denied Turkey's accusation that the Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Kingdom's consulate in Istanbul; and we hear from a Venezuelan singer who has returned home to sing to her fans.
