Brazil's presidential runoff election is going surprisingly smoothly.  The Organization of American States observation mission describes an atmosphere of "tranquility and normality" with "no reports of violence or any other difficulty".  But the politics behind it are anything but peaceful.  The frontrunner, far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro, has threatened to pull Brazil out of the United Nations if elected - the latest bombast in a lifetime of racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-minority and other hate-filled rhetoric.  The polls have tightened, but he's still running about 10 percent ahead of Workers Party candidate Fernando Haddad who promised to continue the policies that eliminated extreme poverty while boosting health care and education from 2003 to 2016.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition took another hit in regional elections, this time in Hesse state around the city of Frankfurt.  The Christian Democrats and Social Democrats were still first and second place, but each lost ten percent of their support from the last election.  The pro-imigration and environmentalist Greens gained half of that, becoming the third largest party in state parliament; the far-right, xenophobic AfD cleared the minimum for entering Parliament for the first time.

The owner of the UK's Leicester City FC was on board his private helicopter when it crashed and burned outside King Power Stadium on Saturday night, local time.  Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people on board when it lifted off from the pitch, cleared the stands, but plunged into the sidewalk.  Srivaddhanaprabha was quite popular with Leicester City fans, who have been leaving flowers and tributes at the crash site. Under his ownership, Leicester City won the Premier League championship in 2016.

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says the military has already begun delivering jersey barriers to the southern border with Mexico and will bolster the efforts of the approximately 2,000 National Guard forces already there with more troops.  This is to prepare for the arrival of a caravan of impoverished, unarmed Central American migrants attempting to walk to the border from Honduras.  The migrants are currently in Tapanatepec in far southern Mexico - 1,800 kilometers away from the nearest border crossing at Brownsville, Texas, which would take them through some of the most-dangerous gang-infested part of Mexico.  At about 30 kilometers per day.  Relying on the charity of towns for food and water along the way.  With daytime temperatures of 40 C degrees and then sleeping rough at night.
