	Description:		The far-right's Jair Bolsonaro is the frontrunner and his main rival is the left-wing candidate for the Workers' Party, Fernando Haddad. Nearly 150 million people were eligible to vote. Tim Franks reports from Rio de Janeiro that if no candidate gets more than 50% of the valid ballots, there will be a second round in three weeks. Also in the programme: fears grow over the missing Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi; and the first woman to play the lead character in the 55-year-old TV series Doctor Who makes her debut.
