RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro faced off Friday in their second and final debate before Sunday's runoff election, ABC News reported. According to the wire report, the candidates were reaching out to undecided voters, and the exchange took place with "cooler heads" than a few days earlier.

The ABC summary does not say how many voters remain undecided or what either candidate proposed during the debate.

The New York Times reported that Lula "faces an uphill battle" for another term in what its summary calls a high-stakes election that may reshape Latin America. In a piece by Ana Ionova, the newspaper examined whether the president could be on the brink of defeat, as its headline asks.

The Times summary does not detail polling or the specific reasons for the challenge it describes.

BBC News, in a video report by Americas correspondent Ione Wells from Rio de Janeiro, said voters are choosing between two candidates it described as "very different." The BBC headline asks who the candidates are, and its summary does not outline their platforms or backgrounds.

Taken together, the three reports emphasize different parts of the race. ABC focused on the tone of the debate, the Times on the incumbent's standing, and the BBC on the choice facing voters. Only the ABC summary refers to Sunday's runoff, and none of the summaries reports a poll result or a vote tally.

These accounts are based on headlines and short summaries, so the full reports may contain details not reflected here.
