NATO-member Romania says Russian meddling has had a huge influence in its presidential election, which looks likely to deliver a pro-Russian, anti-NATO president, who has come from nowhere. Calin Georgescu won the first round last month and is now favourite to win Sunday's run off. With Romania hosting both US and NATO facilities, and sharing a massive border with Ukraine, what does it mean for the bloc, and the war on its doorstep? Times correspondent Tom Kington analyses the concerns.
