Thousands protest in Brazil against bill that could grant Bolsonaro amnesty
RIO DE JANEIRO – Tens of thousands of Brazilians joined protests in cities across the country on Sunday to protest against a bill which could result in ex-President Jair Bolsonaro being granted amnesty.Bolsonaro was found guilty of plotting a coup earlier this month and has been sentenced to 27 years in prison.

Hurricane Gabrielle strengthens in the Atlantic
WASHINGTON – Hurricane Gabrielle is churning through the central Atlantic, feeding on warm waters but expected to stay far from land. As Gabrielle spins, there are signs the Atlantic is starting to wake up after a strange lull during the first half of September. The National Hurricane Center is tracking two more tropical waves that could bring impacts closer to shore in the days ahead.One of these systems in the central Atlantic is steadily organizing and has a medium chance of strengthening into a tropical depression or tropical storm later this week. The environment around this wave is becoming more favorable for development, making it likely to become the next named system of the season. The next names on the Atlantic season’s 2025 list are Humberto and Imelda.Another wave, sitting...

US TV hosts back Kimmel and lampoon Trump in free speech row
WASHINGTON – America's late-night TV hosts have rallied behind fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel after he was suspended by ABC in a row over comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Stephen Colbert began his show by saying "we are all Jimmy Kimmel", and said the star's removal was a "blatant assault on freedom of speech". Seth Meyers declared it was "a privilege and honour to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend", while Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon tackled the free speech issue by doing satirical sketches in which they were apparently forced to praise Donald Trump. Their broadcasts came shortly after the US president said the main networks were overwhelmingly negative about him and could have their licences "taken away". The row...

I have no relationship with Trump, Brazil's Lula says
BRASILIA – Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has told the BBC in an exclusive interview that he has "no relationship" with US President Donald Trump.Lula has frequently criticised Trump, but this is the clearest signal yet that he thinks communication between him and his US counterpart is now broken.Even though the US has a trade surplus with Brazil, Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods in July, citing the trial on coup charges of Brazil's right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro as a trigger.Lula described the tariffs as "eminently political" and said US consumers would be facing higher prices for Brazilian goods as a result.The tariffs imposed by Trump have hit Brazilian exports to the US, like coffee and beef, which Lula said...

Judge tosses terrorism charge against suspect in healthcare CEO shooting 
NEW YORK – A New York judge dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione on Tuesday in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but kept the state's second-degree murder charges against him.Mangione's lawyers argued that the New York case and a parallel federal death penalty prosecution amounted to double jeopardy.But Judge Gregory Carro rejected that argument, saying it would be premature to make such a determination.It's Mangione's first court appearance in the state case since February.The 27-year-old Ivy League graduate has attracted a cult following as a stand-in for frustrations with the health insurance industry.Dozens of his supporters showed up to his last hearing, many wearing the colour green associated with the character Luigi in the Super...
