Trial of Brazil's ex-President Bolsonaro enters final phase
from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang
He is accused of masterminding an attempt to stay in power after losing his bid for re-election in 2022, which culminated in his supporters breaking into and vandalising government buildings in the capital, Brasília. Bolsonaro has always denied any wrongdoing and said the charges were politically motivated. His cause has been adopted by US President Donald Trump, who has called the trial a "witch-hunt" using it as justification for imposing 50% tariffs on some Brazilian goods and sanctioning the Supreme Court judge leading the proceedings. Also on the programme: will a new boss at one of fashion's biggest magazines bring the glory days back? And we hear about the mysterious disappearance of the Lebanese cleric, Musa al-Sadr in Libya, back in 1978.(Picture: An inflatable figure depicting Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro stands near protesters outside party headquarters.Credit:REUTERS/Amanda Perobelli)
