The left-wing former president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has defeated far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in the country's presidential election.
Lula won 50.9% of the votes after a campaign which saw two sides of the political spectrum go head to head.
The election represents a huge comeback for Lula, who could not run in the last presidential election in 2018 because he was in jail and banned from standing for office.
Lula spent 580 days in jail before his conviction was annulled and he returned to the political fray.

The UN Emissions Gap report indicates that if only “current policies” are implemented the world could warm by up to 3.1C.
This would be “catastrophic” for the world according to the UN, leading to dramatic increases in extreme weather events including heatwaves and floods.
The UN's predictions of temperature rise have stayed essentially the same over the past three years since countries met in Glasgow for the COP26 climate summit.

,1,Elon Musk says artificial intelligence is "one of the existential risks we face as world leaders attend a AI safety summit in the UK.
About 100 world leaders, tech bosses and academics are gathering there over the next two days to discuss how best to maximise the benefits of artificial intelligence - while minimising the risks.
Others have warned against speculating about unlikely future threats and said the world should instead focus on the potential present-day risks AI poses, such as replacing some jobs and entrenching bias.

,1,The wife of killer Kenneth Eugene Smith reportedly cried out as he thrashed against his restraints during the 22 minutes it took for him to become the first person in the US put to death by nitrogen gas — which his victim’s son said marked his mom finally getting “justice” 36 years after her murder.
Eugene Smith — who previously survived a botched execution day — appeared to remain conscious for several minutes Thursday as he was made to inhale the toxic gas through a mask, depriving him his body of oxygen until he suffocated at the Holman Prison in Atmore, Ala.
As the killer pushed against his restraints, his wife, Deanna — wearing a “Never Alone” T-shirt — cried out for him from the witness box, according to reporters at the scene.
She was joined by other family members to witness the execution, which took about 22 minutes — far more than the family had been told it would take, according to the family’s spiritual adviser, Jeff Hood.
Hood called it the “worst thing” he’d ever seen — claiming even prison officials “were visibly surprised at how bad this thing went.”
