The race between Austria’s presidential candidates is very close with almost all the votes counted. Freedom Party candidate Norbert Hofer has a narrow lead over his pro-E-U independent rival. A victory for Hofer would mean the first far-right president for Europe. From Vienna, Press TV’s Homa Lezgee reports.
