Ace Breaking News – Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of jailed former rightwing leader Jair, will face incumbent president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a run-off election in Brazil, says BBC News.
It says: “With almost all of the votes counted, Bolsonaro had 47.03% to Lula’s 45.16% of the vote.” by Ione Wells and Tinshui Yeung, BBC News
The broadcaster adds: “[Lula] has…backed oil drilling exploration, which has proved controversial with environmentalists, but he has a record of tightening environmental protections and reducing the rate of deforestation in the Amazon.
Deforestation increased significantly under Jair Bolsonaro’s presidency. [Carbon Brief analysis showed Lula’s presidency had “saved at least 20,000km2 of Brazilian Amazon”.]
