Brazil's Lula wins presidential election in runoff vote
Brazil's Lula wins record fourth term in presidential runoff with markets falling and real set to weaken.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Lula defeating Flávio Bolsonaro in the runoff and on the result being a fourth term, with several also calling it a comeback after a first-round loss. France 24 and Sky News foreground official or near-official result framing, while Al Jazeera and The Guardian US emphasize the upset or historic nature of the turnaround; CNBC is the only outlet in this set to pair the result with market reaction in its extract. The BBC item is different from the rest because it is a pre-election explainer rather than coverage of the result.
