The other November 5 election: China and the US look on as Palau votes
Brothers-in-law face off in a presidential battle over the economy, cost of living and relations with global powers.
Palau the small Pacific country is one of 12 in the world that has diplomatic ties with Taiwan instead of China and will head to the polls on 5 November, the same day as the US.
Voters are mostly concerned about a weak economy and cost of living crisis. But outside Palau, the election symbolises the growing tussle for influence by Washington and Beijing playing out across the Pacific.

Typhoon Bopha heading toward the Philippines - 02 Dec 2012
Super Typhoon Bopha made landfall in the southern Philippines early Tuesday.
Super Typhoon Bopha has estimated wind speeds around 160 miles per hour with gusts over 195 miles per hour or roughly 170 knots.
The equivalent to a category-five hurricane, the storm came ashore in the southern province of Davao at dawn, uprooting trees and blowing off roofs.
Residents in flood-prone areas were moving into shelters, ABC reported.
On Monday, Philippine President Benigno Aquino warned the public to take storm warnings seriously. "The potential destruction of this typhoon is no joke," Aquino said in a national television and radio address.

U.S. Navy 'swim calls' - 2016
When you're job is sailing the seas, the World is your swimming pool.
These amazing pictures show sailors and marines from the U.S. Navy taking part in what they call 'swim calls'.
Most recently pictured earlier this month (Feb) are those cooling off by jumping from into the Indian Ocean from guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam.
With the ship anchored, Swim Calls are seen as a refreshing break from the job of keeping high-tech battleships running.
The activity often occurs in warm foreign waters, such as the Mediterranean, Arabian and South China seas, the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Suffice to say, there will be people tasked with shark watch, from the ship and rigid-hulled inflatable boats.
Swimmers are able to clamber back onto the ship via landing docks or by climbing cargo nets.
