Serbia's Vučić concedes defeat as Brazil re-elects Lula and Israel prepares to vote
Two leaders' election outcomes dominated Sunday: Serbia's Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat to a student-led movement, and Brazil's Lula won a fourth term, which Flavio Bolsonaro has called on to be annulled. Fighting continued in the Saudi-Houthi war and in Gaza, a cyclone developed off India, and storms cut power to about 150,000 homes in Europe.
Aleksandar Vučić said on Sunday it is clear his Serbian Progressive Party has lost the election to the student-led protest movement, after 12 years in power. Celebrations spread across Belgrade into Monday. The election commission said turnout reached 65%, while allegations of intimidation, violence and voting irregularities have been made.
Lula won Sunday's runoff with 51.7% of the vote to Flavio Bolsonaro's 48.2%, official results showed. Early on Monday, Senator Bolsonaro called for the result to be annulled.
Trump said there would be no strikes on Iran on Monday, while Iran says renewed US-Israeli attacks 'will achieve no different outcome'.
