The race to choose the next United Nations (UN) Secretary-General moves into another important phase today.
The Security Council holds its second informal straw poll.
Eight candidates are now competing to succeed António Guterres, whose second term ends in December.
The field has grown since the first poll at the end of July with the two latest entrants, Ugandan diplomat Olara Otunnu and Ecuadorian diplomat Ivonne A-Baki.
The two spent the past two days making their case to UN member states.
