Police in Brazil say a TV crime show host accused of ordering killings to boost his ratings has gone missing after his arrest warrant was issued.

Wallace Souza, also a local congressman, had enjoyed parliamentary immunity until last week when the Amazonas state assembly expelled him.

A search is under way, with airports and roads from the city of Manaus in the Amazon region being monitored. In this report from August, the BBC's Gary Duffy describes what Souza is accused of.
