👀 The polls have closed in Brazil’s high-stakes presidential election. Now here is what to expect next.

Because Brazil is the only country in the world that uses a fully electronic voting system, the counting of ballots has historically happened relatively quickly, particularly for a country so vast. Election officials said on Sunday that they hoped to be able to call the contest by 7 p.m. Eastern time.

Officials from the United Nations and Turkey were pushing on Sunday to bring Russia back into an agreement that allowed the export of grain from Ukrainian ports.

Dimanche, des responsables des Nations Unies et de la Turquie ont fait pression pour que la Russie réintègre un accord autorisant l'exportation de céréales à partir des ports Ukrainiens.

Hi COSO world -- just a journalist checking this out 🤔

@RobertaSaidThat It was the last straw for me. I announced my departure from Twitter after seeing that.

The election in Brazil has major consequences for the Amazon rainforest, which is crucial to the health of the planet. Mr. Bolsonaro has gutted the agencies tasked with protecting the forest, leading to soaring deforestation, while Mr. da Silva has promised to eradicate illegal logging and mining.

@MidnightRider some believe it could be an example of the growing threat of so-called stochastic terrorism, in which sometimes unstable individuals are inspired to violence by hate speech and scenarios they see online and hear echoed by public figures.

The frequent targeting of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by online extremists and political opponents likely contributed to the violent attack on her husband Paul, terrorism and extremism experts said.

Le fait que la présidente de la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis, Nancy Pelosi, soit souvent prise pour cible par des extrémistes en ligne et des opposants politiques a probablement contribué à la violente attaque contre son mari Paul, selon des experts en terrorisme et en extrémisme.

And just like that the Ukrainians demonstrate that yesterdays attack on Sevastopol really was an attack. And not the Russian claims of "nothing happened" and "workplace smoking accident".
