🚨 Lula Mounts Comeback, Wins Brazil Election
With 96% of polling stations counted, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pulled ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro by about 4.1 million votes, 51.73% to 48.27%, according to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Projections show Lula winning a fourth presidential term against the son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro, who beat him by more than 2 million votes in the first round and led the early count tonight.
Datafolha, the polling institute of the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, has called the race for Lula. So has Andrei Roman, CEO of the pollster AtlasIntel, even though his firm's final poll on Saturday had Bolsonaro narrowly ahead. The Brazilian outlet ICL also called it for Lula. The TSE has not yet declared an official result.

US road rage killer's sentence quashed because AI video of victim was shown in court bbc.in/4rGHDS4
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The sentence was thrown out because an appeals judge ruled that the video should not have been shown in the original trial. BBC misleadingly implies that the sentence was quashed because of the persuasive impact of the video itself.
