Keiko Fujimori leads in tight presidential runoff in Peru

Top of The World

Keiko Fujimori leads in a tight presidential runoff in Peru, with Pedro Castillo trailing close behind. And, at least 160 people are dead after an attack at a local market in Burkina Faso. Also, Google agrees to change its global advertising business after France slaps it with a multi-million-dollar fine.

Supporters of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, pictured, and supporters of Keiko Fujimori marched toward each other near Cuzco's main square last month. Both candidates for Peru's presidency are neck to neck in a heated race.
