The shocking images of malnourished Yanomami
At the Indigenous Health House in Roraima, where President Lula was on Saturday (20), there were children with signs of verminosis, such as swollen abdomens. Other images released by indigenous people and health agents show children and elderly people in a situation of severe malnutrition. In the opinion of experts, one of the main causes of the catastrophe was the invasion of illegal miners, embezzlement of funds intended for the purchase of medicines, and the accelerated degradation of health care for this population. Around 10.193 Yanomami children were left unassisted. (UOL)

Bolsonaro in the PF's sights
Former president Jair Bolsonaro is in the sights of Federal Police investigators regarding incitement to coup acts on January 8. The former president was already the target of the digital militia investigation because of his performance in the live broadcast on July 29, 2021 — when he raised suspicions of fraud in the elections without evidence due to failures in electronic voting machines — and the leak of a confidential investigation about a hacker attack on the Superior Electoral Court. The actions are seen as part of a criminal organization that acts to attack institutions, authorities and spread disinformation. (FSP)🚥
