Brazil: Jair Bolsonaro supporters storm presidential palace, Congress

Thousands of supporters of Brazil's far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro invaded the country's Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court. They broke through police barricades and stormed into Congress, the presidential palace. The incident echoed the US Capitol invasion two years ago by supporters of former US President Donald Trump. President Luiz Inacio Lula blamed Bolsonaro for the invasion, and complained about a lack of security in the capital, saying it had let "fascists" and 'fanatics' wreak havoc.
