Brazilians are going to the polls on Sunday for the presidential runoff, and we have been covering a variety of related issues, including the unexpected support by some Evangelicals for the leftist candidate, Lula. This week in international affairs we also interviewed former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt, a veteran politician who offered his views on the Ukraine war.
We also took a look at what's being touted as the contact lenses of the future, and made a list of horror movies to enjoy in the comfort of one's own home for Halloween.

This week, political news in the US was dominated by the scandal of the leaked audio revealing racist remarks by leading Latino members of the Los Angeles City Council. Elsewhere, we covered the latest developments in Ukraine and visited one of Jair Bolsonaro's strongholds in the south of Brazil.

Lucy's 5 best tips for learnining new vocabulary
2. Fill in the gaps! When you notice that you don't know a word, write it down immediately in your vocab diary, and then research it and the end of the day. This is all about lifestyle! It needs to be something you aim to do every day! I created The English Plan for this exact purpose - this method helped me to become fluent in my second language.
3. Read children's books in English! This was something I loved to do! Children's books are designed to teach children to read and write - and this will work for you too! Go to your local library or charity shop, or order some used children's books online. This doesn't have to be an expensive process. Perhaps you can share them with another learner of English when you're done?
4. Watch English TV shows! - This one may seem obvious, but it's really important to pick the right show according to your level. For beginners, I always recommend Peppa Pig - in each episode there is so much great vocab for everyday life! I actually made a video with my recommendations for TV shows for each level of English. Watch it here.
5. Listen to chatty podcasts! Try to see in advance if the podcast also has a transcript. These podcasts will prepare you to join in more conversations, and will probably include more slang and informal vocabulary. Have a look at the UK top podcast charts.
Up to which extent do you agree with Lucy?
