In a major upset, Brazil's left wing president Lula Da Silva has won a fourth term in office. The right-wing opposition wants the election result annulled. We hear from Senator Marcel van Hattem, who is close to Flavio Bolsonaro. We look ahead to the elections in Israel this week, which is currently a dead heat between the governing coalition of Benjamin Netanyahu and the opposition. Serbia's student led protest movement is celebrating victory in the parliamentary election, after the veteran leader Aleksander Vucic admitted defeat.
