SANTIAGO, Chile - Michelle Bachelet is widely expected to return to Chile's presidency by beating conservative rival Evelyn Matthei in Sunday's runoff vote.
Here are some of their main policy proposals:
Kim Jong-un's uncle executed, Nelson Mandela lies in state, Syrian refugees, sea walnut jellyfish and more.
In Britain, it can be a truly savage domain, a nest of intrigue, fierce rivalries and legal disputes.
A state development bank kept the economy flush, but now debt and inflation are a threat.
The landing marks a major advance in China's space program and a step toward a manned mission.
Chinese warship tried to stop U.S. vessel in international waters in South China Sea.
BIG REFORMS: Bachelet proposes $15 billion in new spending, mainly on education and health care. She's also answered widespread student protests by vowing to raise corporate taxes to partly pay for the education overhaul. She plans to legalize abortion in some cases and launch a national debate on gay marriage.
STAY ON COURSE: Matthei says Chile must continue the business-friendly policies of outgoing center-right President Sebastian Pinera, which include funding government programs with income from the country's improved economy and not by raising taxes. Matthei points out that Chile's robust economy thrived amid low unemployment during Pinera's term.
