Brazilians protest against bill to reduce Bolsonaro's jail time
SAO PAULO— Tens of thousands of people gathered across Brazil's main cities on Sunday to protest against a bill that — if passed — would reduce the time former President Jair Bolsonaro will spend in jail.The former president is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup d'etat after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.One of the lawmakers backing the bill told AFP news agency it could lead to Bolsonaro's sentence being shortened to two years and four months in prison.Last week, chaos erupted as conservative lawmakers pushed it through the lower house of Congress.

Children with cancer 'scammed out of millions raised for their treatment'
LONDON — A little boy faces the camera. He is pale and has no hair."I am seven years old and I have cancer," he says. "Please save my life and help me."Khalil — who is pictured above in a still from the film — didn't want to record this, says his mother Aljin. She had been asked to shave his head, and then a film crew hooked him up to a fake drip, and asked his family to pretend it was his birthday. They had given him a script to learn and recite in English.And he didn't like it, says Aljin, when chopped onions were placed next to him, and menthol put under his eyes, to make him cry.Aljin agreed to it because, although the set-up was fake, Khalil really did have cancer. She was told this video would help crowdfund money for better treatment. And it did raise funds —...

US offers Ukraine 'strong' security guarantees but territory still unresolved
BERLIN — The US has said it is ready to offer Ukraine Nato-like security guarantees to safeguard an eventual ceasefire, following talks in Berlin with European officials and a delegation from Kyiv.The "very strong" guarantees would be modelled on Nato's Article 5 clause of mutual protection, US officials said, adding that the Russians would hopefully agree to them.While US officials talked up progress towards ending the war, there was little detail on how the thorny issue of Ukraine's sovereignty would be resolved in any peace deal.Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky described the meeting as "productive" but not easy.He added that Kyiv needed a "clear understanding of security guarantees" before it could make any decisions about other contentious issues.Ukraine has long argued it...
