00:00Portugal's far-right presidential candidate André Ventura placed second in the country's presidential election on Sunday, securing a place in a run-off next month against center-left Socialist Party candidate Antonio José Segura.
00:16Ventura's strong showing was another milestone in Europe's shift to the far-right as populist parties have gained a hold-on or edge closer to levels of power in recent years.
00:28With almost all votes counted, Segura secured around 31% of the voting share, while André Ventura, leader of the Chega Party, captured 24%.
00:40The two will face off in the second-round ballot between the two top candidates on 8 February.
