0:00 19:39

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day. On today's podcast: (1) President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. (2) Serbian longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic surprisingly conceded defeat in a snap vote, handing victory to a student-led movement that built mass support by pledging to fight graft and reverse democratic backsliding. (3) France avoided a repeat of large-scale violence and looting that marred nationwide protests a week ago, suggesting the government’s decision to boost police numbers and contain marches paid off. (4) Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado arrived in Caracas Sunday night, capping a daylong journey through five states that drew crowds of supporters and raised expectations for a return to democracy. (5) Elon Musk said SpaceX has closed a $40 billion debt deal to pay for the chips needed to fuel its artificial intelligence ambitions. People familiar with the discussions, though, told Bloomberg News that talks over pricing were still ongoing. Podcast Conversation:Why the Book World Remains Obsessed With Celebrity Memoirs
