🇧🇷 The celebrations in Brazil for the victory of Lula ➡️ MORE VIDEOS
After learning of the victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the ballotage this Sunday, a crowd gathered on Paulista Avenue, in São Paulo, to celebrate the victory of the leader of the Workers' Party (PT) in the most closely contested election in the history of the country.
His victory marks the first time since Brazil’s 1985 return to democracy that the sitting president has failed to win reelection. It was the country’s closest election in over three decades. Just over 2 million votes separated the two candidates with 99.5% of the vote counted. The previous closest race, in 2014, was decided by a margin of 3.46 million votes.

💰 Verified Twitter users may soon have to pay a monthly fee to keep their badges
Twitter Blue, a $4.99 monthly subscription, launched last year as the platform's premium offering, giving users access to new features like customizable app icons, the ability to undo or bookmark tweets, and a "reader mode" to more easily view long threads of posts. A verification-tier subscription may cost as much as $19.99 per month.
Currently only available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Twitter Blue's launch has struggled with niche appeal and limited features — but linking verification to the subscription fee could bolster its popularity. Should Twitter require payment for its verified status, it would be the first major American social media app to do so, as most platforms offer the feature for free.

❗️The US military is reportedly weighing the possibility of deploying six B-52 bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons to the north part of Australia in a bid to create a long-term hub in the region amid the Biden administration's ongoing tensions with China.
▪️At present, the region already hosts various joint military exercises with US forces on a near-annual basis, a collaboration that was first undertaken during the Obama administration.
▪️Although US-China tensions have remained heated for quite some time, ties between the two nations reached a near-boiling point in early August when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) decided to pay a visit to Taiwan.
