origin and Brazil's system, in fact, is considered one of the most secure in the world.
As a result, there were concerns from the Brazilian government that this delegation from the US were essentially coming to try to sow doubt on the integrity of the electoral system.
Flavio Bolsonaro, after allegations that he was trying to spread misinformation about the election, denied that he was casting doubt on the system and said he was simply encouraging more international election observers to come to Brazil for the election.
But I think that has certainly drawn the ire of the Brazilian government to feel like the U.S.
is trying to meddle in Brazilian affairs, something which the U.S.
says is baseless.
Yes, it certainly at the moment looks pretty close between those two contenders.
Lula, as you say, 80-year-old incumbent president who's seeking a fourth term, although he had a period out of office in between, running against Flavio Bolsonaro on the right, who has been endorsed by his father, Jair Bolsonaro, who, as you say, is currently still serving a 27-year prison sentence after plotting a coup to try and overturn the results of the last election that he lost.
The Odyssey with a Twist.
That was the reaction of librarians in the town of Kiama, south of Sydney, when one of the oldest books in their collection made its way back to them.
The book, The Antiquities of Athens, was published in 1858, recognised at the time as the first accurate survey of classical Greek architecture.
It was last taken out sometime in the 19th century by a borrower whose identity remains a mystery.
But it was turned in by a man who had unknowingly had it in his possession for some time, as library manager Michelle Hudson explains.
It's just as well the library doesn't charge fines for late books anymore.
At a rate of three pence per week for every week the book is overdue, the invoice would have been around 19,500 US dollars, accounting for inflation.
Despite a bit of water damage, the book is still in good condition.
And a note printed on the inside cover gives a fascinating glimpse into 19th century library rules.
The book is now in the library's local history collection, but it won't be available on loan again.
Staff are, understandably, not prepared to wait another 150 years for it to resurface if it goes missing again.
