#Brazil has once again made the world a more decent, more beautiful place. A victory for workers, women, Black and Indigenous communities, farmers, entrepreneurs and everyone defending our forests and our rights. Hard work lies ahead. We are ready. 🇧🇷

#Lula’s victory is an extraordinary moment for #Brazil, with consequences far beyond its borders. It is a huge victory for democracy and human rights, and a reason to believe that decency still has political force. 🇧🇷 ❤️

Latest models suggest Lula may take it by a whisker. A long 60 minutes ahead!

Brazil’s second round is looking chaotic. Bus shortages and alleged voter obstruction across 10 states. A court ordered the arrest of Salvador’s transport secretary. The Supreme Court’s extended nationwide voting to 7pm, an unprecedented move. A messy end to a bitter campaign.

A rare diplomatic breakthrough at #UNTOC today. Brazil and a wide coalition approved a resolution to negotiate a treaty to fight #environment crimes like illegal #logging, illicit #mining and #wildlife trafficking. The Americans, Iranians, Saudis and Russians tried to block it.

Which clubs a government joins is becoming an index of its geopolitics. I tracked +190 alliances since 2000. They've tripled since 2016 - some hedge and others are instrumentalist. The #UK's most connected, followed by #Germany, #Canada, #France, #Japan and the #US. @unfoundation

#Brazil’s runoff is tightening. Flávio Bolsonaro still holds a narrow polling edge, but #Lula's closed the gap and improved sharply on rejection. PT’s digital operation is surging too. With 4 days left, turnout may matter more than persuasion. Right now its a toss-up.

#Cities generate 70% of global #emissions but get a fraction of climate #finance. The solutions exist but money isn't flowing. Why? Our new @wef article explains. weforum.org/stories/nature-a… With @MarvinJRees

So #Musk capped #Starshield connections by drone speed, crippling some #Ukrainian strike and interceptor drones. #Trump signed-off. One billionaire can weaken a country’s defenses and shape a war. That concentration of #geopolitical power is dangerous. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/20…

#Nigeria’s imported #Ebola case shows how quickly an outbreak can cross #Africa. The patient is isolated in #Abuja, with 44 contacts identified. As we wrote earlier this month, wider spread is possible, but not inevitable. Rapid contact tracing is key. flashnote.secdev.com/p/congo…

European #protests are the product of a decade in which housing grew less affordable, the promise of work less secure and expectation of upward #mobility weakened. Many young #Europeans believe they are paying for decisions in which they had almost no say. flashnote.secdev.com/p/class…

Alberta has delivered a blow to separatism. Roughly 76% voted to stay in Canada, against 24% seeking a path to independence. Secession is on the political back burner (but not gone). A win for Canadian unity and a bitter pill for MAGA enthusiasts dreaming of a 51st state. 🇨🇦
