Mexicans Prepare To Vote In Presidential Elections
Left wing populist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador remains the frontrunner
Mexicans are preparing to vote in presidential, parliamentary and local elections, after a campaign that has seen the worst violence for decades. Since the start of campaigning in September, more than one-hundred-and-thirty politicians have been killed. The frontrunner for the presidency is the left wing former mayor of Mexico City, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Also on the programme we get a rare glimpse into Rakhine state and the plight of the Rohingya Muslims. And how do the Roma people of Italy feel about the planned census to be taken of them?
