Extremist supporters of Jair Bolsonaro planned to invade Lula's presidential office and the office of the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, to set it on fire, on Sunday (8), during coup events in Brasília.

The annual UN climate conference has been scheduled for the end of the year in the Gulf country and the appointment is drawing criticism from environmental campaigners.

“Meet the chair of the 2023 UN climate talks, Sultan Al Jaber. He is also the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, a state-owned giant that invests US$127 billion in oil and gas expansion.
Best part: This tweet is not an attempt at comedy.”
“The appointment of Al Jaber as #COP28 president is outrageously regressive and deeply problematic to say the least!
Fossil fuels are the root cause of #ClimateCrisis . His position as CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company raises serious issues of conflict of interest.”
Removal of Ibaneis
Minister Alexandre de Moraes removed the governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), without a request from investigative bodies or parliamentarians. This is the first time that a judge has removed a state chief executive from office without a request; the Attorney General's Office (PGR) and the Federal Police (PF) did not make the request.
