Brazil’s presidential race is decided with today’s vote – A million workers stand up for their rights in Rome – An American nurse protests her Ebola quarantine, even though she does not even have the virus – And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Brazilians vote in the final round of Presidential elections today, if they can get past all that Hitler talk.  Center-right challenger Aecio Neves accused incumbent President Dilma Rousseff’s campaign strategist to Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.  Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Neves was attacking Dilma and her supporters “like the Nazis did in World War II”.  Voters are understandably turned-off by am increasingly stupid and negative election.  But in the last week polls indicated a slight advantage for Dilma, based on the advances made by the poor under the policies that began with Lula and continued in her administration.

As Trade Minister Andrew Robb hosts talks on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Australian Medical Association (AMA) wants assurances the free trade deal won’t lead to skyrocketing medicine prices.  The medical group is calling on the Federal Government to put protections in place for patients if it agrees to the TPP deal.  If approved, the TPP would plunge 40 percent of the global economy into a pool with countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, Chile, and Australia.

Beijing plans to fake some air quality when nations gather for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in the Chinese capital next month.  The government ordered factories around Beijing to shut down to cut down on the amount of toxic smog that usually envelops the city.  Last week, the air quality index showed air pollutants five times what the Chinese government considers “safe” – or, ten times the UN World Health Organization’s (WHO) safety limit.

WHO says the number of confirmed infections in the West African Ebola Epidemic has passed 10,000, with 4,922 deaths – with the usual caveat that the actually amount is much, much worse due to hidden, unreported, or unreachable cases.  All but ten of the fatalities occurred in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. 

Ivory Coast is on alert after authorities in Guinea informed them that a health care worker who dealt with an Ebola patient had slipped out of surveillance and was heading towards the border.  And, officials in Male are trying to track down at least 40 people who may have come into contact with a two-year old Guinean girl who was highly symptomatic when her family brought her over the border for unsuccessful treatment for Ebola.

Meanwhile, an American nurse says she was “made to feel like a criminal” after she arrived in New Jersey on an airplane from West Africa – where she was heroically helping fight the real Ebola epidemic – and was promptly forced into involuntary quarantine for 21-days.  Despite blood tests coming back negative for Ebola, Kaci Hickox is still detained in a room.  When she got their, she says officials had no preparations made, no meal plans for her for the next few weeks, no clothing, and no one appeared to be in charge.  The questionable quarantine orders were issued by the governors of New York State and New Jersey, who have ambitions for higher political office, and the governor of Illinois who is barely hanging in a tough reelection race against a conservative billionaire.

A million people rallied in Rome and other cities against Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s plan to reform Italy’s labor market.  Renzi wants to loosen rules on employers and make it easier to fire workers.  That’s not sitting well in a country with a youth unemployment rate higher than 44 percent.  Renzi’s own party is divided over the scheme.  Protesters want the government to invest in future business to guarantee full employment, and full rights for workers.
