The comedian who could be president - BBC News
Polls suggest Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a comedian with no previous political experience, has become one of the frontrunners in Ukraine's presidential election.
His campaign is blurring the line between fact and fiction, as he stars in a hit TV series in which he plays a teacher who unexpectedly becomes president.
Some recent polls even put Mr Zelenskiy ahead of current President Petro Poroshenko, as well as opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, for the vote scheduled to begin with a first round on 31 March.
However, there are some important differences between Mr Zelenskiy and the TV character he plays, as BBC Ukraine Correspondent Jonah Fisher reports.

DR Congo sets presidential election for December 2018
Election officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo say a long-overdue presidential election will finally take place in December 2018.
The election commission had recently said elections could not take place until 2019, citing deadly violence in the Kasai region and logistical hurdles.
The country has seen widespread anger over President Joseph Kabila's refusal to relinquish power after his second full term ended in December 2016. He had taken power after his father was assassinated in 2001, and was elected in 2006 and 2011.
Al Jazeera's Colin Baker reports.

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimmo Groenlund, Director of Social Science Research, �bo Akademi University:
"Advance voting is very popular in Finland nowadays. At least 40-percent of all voters who will turn out, vote in advance. In the presidential election, it is even more popular, especially in the second round when you only have two finalists and people really make up their mind earlier. So, it might be almost 50 percent of all who will cast their vote will have done it in advance."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimmo Groenlund, Director of Social Science Research, �bo Akademi University:
"The polls, there were several polls during this week, and they all predict a landslide victory for Sauli Niinisto. They say that it would be about 60-40 but I am inclined to think that, at least normally in these elections, it is more even. So I would say that the winner will have a figure that starts with a five. But still, I think that he is rather confident that he will win this election."

STORYLINE:
Finns headed to the polls on Sunday in a second round of voting in the presidential election.
In the capital Helsinki, voters braved temperatures forecast as low as -28Celsius (-18.4 Fahrenheit) according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute, to cast their ballots.
Many people - an estimated 45 percent - avoided the cold weather and snow by voting in advance.
Director of Social Science Research at Abo Akademi University Kimmo Groenlund said people are now choosing to vote ahead of elections.
"At least 40 percent of all voters who will turn out, turn out in advance. In the presidential election, it is even more popular, especially in the second round when you only have two finalists and people really make up their mind earlier. So, it might be almost 50 percent of all who will cast their vote will have done it in advance," he said.
The first round of voting took place in January, but no single candidate got more than 50 percent of the vote to win outright.
Finns now must choose between the top two finalists from the first round; National Coalition Party candidate Sauli Niinisto and Green Party candidate Pekka Haavisto.
Niinisto is the long-time frontrunner to be president, having run unsuccessfully before in 2006.
His National Coalition Party is the largest party in government and holds the Prime Minister job as well as senior cabinet positions.
Pekka Haavisto is Finland's first openly gay presidential candidate, with a long career in international relations as a United Nations special envoy in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East.
Kimmo Groenlund said he felt it would be a close run race.
"They say that it would be about 60-40 but I am inclined to think that, at least normally in these elections, it is more even. So I would say that the winner will have a figure that starts with a five. But still, I think that he is rather confident that he will win this election," he said.
The Finnish president has a largely ceremonial role and is not directly involved in daily politics.

STORYLINE
Campaigners were out in force on the streets of Finland's capital, braving freezing temperatures to attract votes before the second round of voting in the country's presidential election this Sunday.
After the first round of voting in January, no candidate received more than 50-percent of the vote to win outright.
The eight original candidates have been whittled down to just the top two: veteran conservative Sauli Niinisto of the National Coalition Party, and Green Party candidate Pekka Haavisto.
Both Niinisto and Haavisto's campaign teams have been distributing coffee and flyers in Helsinki in an attempt to engage with voters.
"Today it's minus 16 degrees (Celsius) and it's so far the coldest day," said Maija Koski, a volunteer at the "Niinisto Cafe" tent in the city centre.
"Pretty demanding conditions!" he said.
He ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 2006.

Election officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo say a long-overdue presidential election will finally take place in December 2018.
The election commission had recently said elections could not take place until 2019, citing deadly violence in the Kasai region and logistical hurdles.
The country has seen widespread anger over President Joseph Kabila's refusal to relinquish power after his second full term ended in December 2016. He had taken power after his father was assassinated in 2001, and was elected in 2006 and 2011.
