Hundreds arrests after Brazil riots

More than 1,200 people have been arrested after Sunday's arrest.

The security forces have taken back control after supporters of the former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress and other official buildings in the capital Brasilia. We bring updates and reaction on the developments and speak to Brazilians about how they view the event.

Our disinformation specialist explains how the protesters in Brazil involved in the unrest used codes on social media to plan Sunday’s invasion. We also speak to our colleague in Miami where Jair Bolsonaro himself currently is.

We hear from climate activists in Germany who are trying protect a small village in western Germany from being bulldozed to make way for the development of a local coal mine.
