A fire at the COP30 Summit’s Blue Zone in Belem, Brazil, injured 21 people and triggered a mass evacuation, prompting a six-hour shutdown and safety inspection before partial reopening.

Fire breaks out at main venue of UN COP30 Climate Summit in Brazil's Belem, 21 people injured

A fire at the COP30 Summit&rsquo;s Blue Zone in Belem, Brazil, injured 21 people and triggered a mass evacuation, prompting a six-hour shutdown and safety inspection before partial reopening.

At least 21 people were injured in a fire which broke out at the main venue of the ongoing UN COP30 Climate Summit in Brazil's Belem, forcing thousands of people to run for safety.
The fire broke out at around 2 pm on Thursday at the 'Blue Zone', where all meetings, negotiations, country pavilions, media centre and offices of all high-profile dignitaries are housed, including the main plenary hall.
As soon as news of the fire spread, people ran out of all exit gates for safety.
The authorities closed the venue for a thorough safety inspection and reopened it after more than six hours at 8:40 pm, sans the country pavilions -- the area which caught fire.
"...according to updated data as of 6 pm this Thursday, 21 people have received medical care as a result of the fire that affected the Blue Zone of the event," the Brazilian Ministry of Health said in a statement.
Of the total cases, 19 are related to smoke inhalation and two to anxiety episodes following the incident.
There have been no reports of individuals sustaining burn injuries from the flames, it added.
"Patients were promptly assisted and 12 have already been discharged. The remaining individuals are receiving appropriate care in health facilities in Belem and in a designated referral unit for such cases," the statement said.
Municipal, state and federal health teams continue to monitor and follow up on the medical assistance and health status of those affected, it added.
It is learnt that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was present at the venue and promptly evacuated by the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) protection detail.
India's Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav was also present with the Indian delegation inside the Blue Zone when the fire broke out, but he and other officials safely exited the venue, a spokesperson of the ministry told PTI.
In a mail to all participants, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said that following a comprehensive safety assessment, the venue has been thoroughly inspected and deemed fully safe.
"Brazilian authorities have restored all working conditions on the conference premises, secured the post-fire operating permit from the Fire Department and formally returned the area to the UNFCCC," it added.
The Blue Zone has now been reinstated to full operational status and has been reopened as of 8:40 pm.
All accredited COP participants are now able to access the COP30 venue in the usual ways.
However, the pavilion area (Zone B) directly affected by the fire will remain inaccessible for the remainder of the conference, which is scheduled to conclude on Friday.
"There will be no plenary activity this evening. All plenary sessions tomorrow will be open to all parties and observers and will be fully live-streamed, and all usual measures to keep parties, observers and media informed of negotiations will continue," the mail stated.
Cancellation of the day's remaining businesses earlier created uncertainty over the timely completion of the summit, with crucial negotiations still needed to hammer out a final roadmap ahead of the summit's last day on Friday.
In a joint statement, the UN COP30 Presidency, which is organising the summit, and UNFCCC said: "We still have substantial work ahead, and we trust that delegates will return to the negotiations in a spirit of solidarity and determination to ensure a successful outcome for this COP."
The two parties in their earlier statement said that the fire department and UN security officers responded swiftly, and the fire was controlled in approximately six minutes.
"People were evacuated safely. As a precaution, the Brazilian Government and the UNFCCC have jointly decided to temporarily close the Blue Zone while the fire department carries out a comprehensive safety assessment," it had said.
The fire did not affect the 'Green Zone', where various stalls and exhibitions have been organised, and remains open with activities continuing as scheduled, it added.
Meanwhile, UNDSS, in a 'Flash Report' to its members immediately after the incident, said that the fire quickly spread to decorative textiles covering the sides and roof of the structure.
"Security personnel immediately responded using fire extinguishers until firefighters arrived. The fire was fully controlled," it added.
During the incident, some panic ensued as people began leaving the area.
UNDSS uniformed personnel provided guidance and initiated an orderly evacuation.
"The UN Secretary-General was present on site and was promptly evacuated by the UNDSS protection detail.
"A headcount was activated, and all UNSMS (United Nations Security Management System) organisations have confirmed their personnel are accounted for and well. There are no reports of injuries among UNSMS staff or participants. The affected area remains closed at this time," the report said.
Immediately after the fire, the UNFCCC secretariat issued an urgent advisory and asked all to evacuate the venue.
The host country Brazil took over the entire venue, which temporarily ceased to be a UN site until it was reopened.
"The Host Country Fire Chief has ordered the evacuation of the entire premises. The Fire Service will conduct full safety checks," UNFCCC had said in an update bulletin.
"The premises are now under the authority of the Host Country and are no longer considered a Blue Zone," it added.
Huge clouds of black smoke billowed from the temporary tent, erected to hold the annual global event for setting roadmaps for the protection of the earth by preventing climate change.
The smoke could be seen from several kilometres away.
Minutes after the fire, the area was lashed with a spell of heavy rains, creating a difficult situation for thousands of attendees who had come out to the open from the venue.
Negotiators from more than 190 countries have gathered here for the annual Conference of Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC.
The COP30 summit is taking place in the Brazilian city of Belem in the Amazon region from November 10 to 21.

India, China, Brazil warned of secondary sanctions over Russia trade; NATO chief urges leaders to press Putin for Ukraine peace talks.

NATO chief warns India, China, Brazil of 100% sanctions over Russia ties

India, China, Brazil warned of secondary sanctions over Russia trade; NATO chief urges leaders to press Putin for Ukraine peace talks.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has delivered a stern message to India, China, and Brazil, warning that they could face serious economic consequences if they continue their business ties with <a href="https://www.editorji.com/world-news/us-president-donald-trump-gives-russia-50-days-to-resolve-ukraine-war-1752511855423">Russia</a>.
His comments follow meetings with U.S. senators in Washington, where he emphasized the urgency of pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin toward peace talks.
<h3>Rutte urges India, China, and Brazil to pressure Putin</h3>
"If you are the President of China, the Prime Minister of India, or the President of Brazil, and you continue to trade with Russia and buy their oil and gas, then you know: if the man in Moscow doesn't take the peace negotiations seriously, I will impose 100 per cent secondary sanctions," Rutte said.
"My encouragement to these three countries, particularly, is: if you live now in Beijing, or in Delhi, or you are the president of Brazil, you might want to take a look into this, because this might hit you very hard," he added.
Rutte also made a direct appeal for diplomatic intervention. "So please make the phone call to Vladimir Putin and tell him that he has to get serious about peace talks, because otherwise this will slam back on Brazil, on India, and on China in a massive way," he said.
<h3>Trump threatens sweeping sanctions and tariffs on Russia and allies</h3>
Rutte&rsquo;s remarks come just a day after former U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a new military aid package for Ukraine and announced the possibility of broad tariffs targeting Russian exports and its trading partners.
The White House confirmed that the package includes advanced weapons systems such as Patriot missiles, which Ukraine sees as vital to defending against Russian aerial attacks.
Trump also warned of aggressive economic measures if a peace agreement is not reached soon. "If we don't have a deal at the end of 50 days, it's going to be too bad. The tariffs are going to go on and other sanctions go on," Trump said.
He went on to suggest that the U.S. could act independently. "We can do secondary. We&rsquo;re probably talking about 100 per cent or something like that. We can do secondary tariffs without the Senate, without the House, but what they&rsquo;re crafting also could be very good," Trump had said earlier.
<h3>India among key oil buyers facing potential fallout</h3>
According to Reuters, 85 out of 100 U.S. senators currently support legislation empowering Trump to impose tariffs of up to 500 per cent on countries that assist Russia economically. India, China, and Turkey are among the largest importers of Russian crude oil. Analysts warn that these countries&mdash;particularly India&mdash;could face significant economic and diplomatic consequences if sanctions are enforced.
The situation could also disrupt global energy flows and drive prices higher, at a time when the world is already grappling with inflationary pressure and supply chain volatility.
In response to these developments, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated, "Russia is ready to negotiate with US President Donald Trump, but the ultimatums are unacceptable and will not bring any results."

Torrential rains in southeast Brazil triggered deadly landslides in Minas Gerais, killing at least 10 people, including a child. Rescue teams are working to locate the missing as destruction continues.

At least 10 dead in Brazil landslides

Torrential rains in southeast Brazil triggered deadly landslides in Minas Gerais, killing at least 10 people, including a child. Rescue teams are working to locate the missing as destruction continues.

Landslides caused by torrential rains in southeast Brazil have left at least 10 people dead, rescue services in Minas Gerais state said Sunday.
Nine people died in the city of Ipatinga, where 80 millimeters (3.1 inches) of rain fell in the space of one hour on Saturday night, the mayor's office said.
Firefighters pulled the body of an eight-year-old boy from the rubble of a house destroyed by a landslide.
Another landslide swept away everything in its path along a street on the side of a hill in the city's Bethania neighborhood.
AFP images from the scene showed rubble from the houses poking up from the mud.
As of Sunday evening, one person from the area remained missing, though four members of the person's family were rescued.
A body was also found in the nearby town of Santana do Paraiso.
Minas Gerais state governor Romeu Zema sent a message of "solidarity with the victims" in a statement on social media.
Latin America's biggest country has been rocked by several extreme weather events over the past year.
Massive floods caused by days of record-breaking rain killed more than 180 people in the south of the country in April and May.
Brazil also suffered a historic drought linked to climate change, laying the ground for the worst wildfires in 17 years, which consumed vast chunks of the Amazon rainforest.

Brazil's President Lula da Silva is leading a global climate initiative with a bold pledge for zero deforestation by 2030, backed by innovative policies and international collaboration.

How Brazil's Lula da Silva Is Setting New Standards In Global Environmental Policy | Save The Amazon

<h2>Brazil's President Lula da Silva is leading a global climate initiative with a bold pledge for zero deforestation by 2030, backed by innovative policies and international collaboration.</h2>

This is Brazil&rsquo;s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is making waves globally with his groundbreaking climate policies and dedicated efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest.
When Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory was confirmed on October 30, 2022, scientists and environmentalists breathed a sigh of relief, hopeful of a shift from the challenging years under Jair Bolsonaro. And in the two years since, Lula has delivered with innovative strategies that redefine global environmental leadership.
First and foremost, Lula made a bold pledge - Zero deforestation in Brazil by 2030. That's right, a complete halt to deforestation.
Deforestation in &lsquo;The Amazon Rainforest&rsquo; surged under his predecessor Bolsonaro&rsquo;s leadership, leaving many worried about the future of this crucial ecosystem, known to be the world's lungs. A depletion of the Amazon that hosts nearly over 30 million plant and animal species would trigger a devastating acceleration of climate change
But now, there&rsquo;s a renewed sense of hope.
"We are committed to achieving zero deforestation in the Amazon by 2030. No one asked us to do this. We, in the government, decided that we would take the fight against deforestation as a matter of faith. We will put an end to it to prove to the world that we will preserve our Amazon."
&nbsp;So, how does Lula plan to accomplish this monumental task?
Lula has reintroduced robust action plans to tackle deforestation and forest fires. He&rsquo;s hiring more environmental workers -- professionals dedicated to fighting fires, illegal logging, and mining in indigenous territories.
Lula&rsquo;s team is using advanced technology like satellite imagery to track illegal activities in indigenous territories secluded from the outside world. &nbsp;With this approach, authorities can spot illegal mining and logging in real time, proving to be a game-changer in environmental protection.
His decision to create a dedicated ministry for the indigenous peoples has received global acclaim.
Lula has also created a system for tracing products exported from the Amazon, to ensure they are not sourced from deforested areas.
His administration is involving researchers and NGOs to ensure that every decision is effective.
In addition to domestic policies, Lula has revitalized the Amazon Fund, a mechanism supported by countries like Norway and Germany to combat deforestation. In February, the U.S., France, Spain, and the EU expressed interest in contributing to the fund.
Lula is not only tackling deforestation but also positioning Brazil as a climate policy leader by aiming to host the United Nations Climate Conference (COP30) in the Amazon rainforest. Lula is setting a high bar for global leaders. He's showing the world that leadership on climate change is not just about promises, it's about action.

“Historically in the months of August we have had around 600, 700 fires. This year, there have been 4,700 outbreaks here in the region, the result of this very heavy drought.” the governor said in a press conference in Ribeirao Preto.

Brazil Struggles To Contain Sao Paulo Wildfires | 2 Killed, 42 Cities On High Alert

&ldquo;Historically in the months of August we have had around 600, 700 fires. This year, there have been 4,700 outbreaks here in the region, the result of this very heavy drought.&rdquo; the governor said in a press conference in Ribeirao Preto.

Wildfires in Brazil's southern state of Sao Paulo have killed at least two people and 42 cities have been put on high alert. Flights were suspended, schools closed to clean up the soot and local authorities reported an increase in health care for respiratory problems.&nbsp;
Brazil&rsquo;s Federal Police are investigating the causes of the fires in S&atilde;o Paulo. De Freitas says two people have been arrested on suspicion of taking part in criminal fires.

Brazil won against a combined bid from Belgium, Netherlands and Germany while a joint bid by the United States and Mexico was pulled late last month, and South Africa withdrew its candidacy in November.

Brazil chosen as host of 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup

It will be the first time the FIFA Women's World Cup, first played in 1991, will be staged in South America.

Brazil won against a combined bid from Belgium, Netherlands and Germany while a joint bid by the United States and Mexico was pulled late last month, and South Africa withdrew its candidacy in November.

Brazil will host the 2027 Women's World Cup after a vote of FIFA's full membership chose the South American bid over a joint proposal from Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.
The FIFA Congress on Friday voted 119-78 for Brazil in the reduced field of two candidates to host the 2027 tournament after a joint bid by the United States and Mexico was pulled late last month, and South Africa withdrew its candidacy in November.
It will be the first time the global women's tournament, first played in 1991, is staged in South America.
Brazil was strongly favoured to win since October when FIFA brokered deals for the men's World Cups of 2030 and 2034. It left South American neighbors Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay getting just one game each of the 104 in the 2030 tournament that will be mostly co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
A key point for FIFA was clearing the way for its close ally Saudi Arabia to get the 2034 World Cup uncontested in a fast-track process. South American soccer body CONMEBOL's agreement to take a small part of the 2030 tournament removed it from the subsequent bidding.
The US-Mexico decision to opt out and focus on bidding for the 2031 World Cup &mdash; that decision is due next year &mdash; was another indicator of Brazil's expected win.
The Brazilian bid team hugged and celebrated on the podium after the result was announced, and described it as a victory for women's soccer, for their country and for South America.
&ldquo;We are a South American country that achieved the victory for women's soccer,&rdquo; Brazil's soccer federation president Ednaldo Rodrigues said before reflecting on recent flooding that has devastated parts of the country. &ldquo;After the things that impact all Brazilians &mdash; a catastrophe due to the climate change &mdash; our achievement today, the first Women's World Cup in South America, will help strengthen us.&rdquo; It was the first time that all of FIFA's member associations had the opportunity to weigh in on the host of the women's tournament. Previously, it was decided by the FIFA Council, the governing body's decision-making committee.
There were 207 of the 211 members eligible to vote in the electronic ballot which gave three options: Brazil, BNG or abstain.
Brazil was even more favoured to win the contest after ranking higher in an evaluation report by a FIFA-appointed panel.
The next World Cup votes, to endorse the 2030 and 2034 hosts, will be on Dec. 11 in an online congress held remotely.

More than 164,000 people have been forced from their homes in the state capital Porto Alegre and hundreds of other cities and towns.

Elon Musk to Pope Francis extend help to flash flood hit Brazil

More than 164,000 people have been forced from their homes in the state capital Porto Alegre and hundreds of other cities and towns.

eams raced against the clock Thursday to deliver aid to flood-stricken communities in southern Brazil before the arrival of new storms forecast to batter the region once again.
Some 400 municipalities have been affected by the worst natural calamity ever to hit the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with at least 107 people dead and hundreds more injured.
More than 164,000 people have been forced from their homes in the state capital Porto Alegre -- a city of some 1.4 million people -- and hundreds of other cities and towns.
In a sports complex in downtown Porto Alegre, a makeshift shelter accommodates 450 people on mattresses scattered around the floor, as well as a few dozen dogs and a small pig.
"The solidarity is impressive," school director Resplande de Sa, 57, told AFP at a donation center as volunteers sorted through bedding, clothes and diapers.
Several prisons have sought federal assistance after being left without potable water, according to the non-governmental Criminal Justice Network.
At one jail, prisoners had to be moved to higher floors as floodwaters entered the complex.
The disaster has damaged more than 60,000 homes and devastated the economy of the largely agricultural state, which normally supplies more than two-thirds of the rice consumed in Brazil.
The federal government said Thursday it would set aside $10 billion for reconstruction of the region.
And the Inter-American Development Bank pledged $1.1 billion for infrastructure rebuilding, support to businesses and measures to help people keep their jobs.
The Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro was lit up Wednesday night in homage to the victims, with a message appealing for more donations.
Help arrived from outside Brazil as well.
Pope Francis sent 100,000 euros ($107,000) to help care for evacuees, and tycoon Elon Musk said his Starlink satellite company will donate 1,000 terminals to emergency responders "and make usage for all terminals... free until the region has recovered."
Only two of Porto Alegre's six water treatment plants were functioning, the mayor's office said earlier this week, and hospitals and shelters were being supplied by tankers.
The federal government, meanwhile, said it would import 200,000 tons of rice to guarantee supplies and preempt price speculation.

Heavy rains and flooding in Rio Grande do Sul since last week also have left 130 people missing, authorities said. 

Over 100 killed in massive flood in Brazil, rescue operation on 

Heavy rains and flooding in Rio Grande do Sul since last week also have left 130 people missing, authorities said.

On Wednesday authorities in southern Brazil rushed to rescue survivors of massive flooding that has killed at least 100 people.
But some residents refused to leave belongings behind while others returned to evacuated homes despite the risk of new storms.
Heavy rains and flooding in Rio Grande do Sul since last week also have left 130 people missing, authorities said. More than 230,000 have been displaced, and much of the region has been isolated by the floodwaters.
Storms were expected in the state on Wednesday evening, with hail and wind gusts reaching up to 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph), according to the national meteorology institute&rsquo;s afternoon bulletin.

It is the fourth such environmental disaster in a year, following floods in July, September and November 2023 that killed 75 people in total.

Brazil hit by worst floods in more than 80 years, at least 56 dead

It is the fourth such environmental disaster in a year, following floods in July, September and November 2023 that killed 75 people in total.

At least 56 people were killed due to torrential rains, followed by floods and mudslides in Brazil, forcing thousands of people out of their homes.
According to Al Jazeera, the surge in water levels in the state of Rio Grande do Sul is straining dams and threatening the metropolis of Porto Alegre.
The flooding has surpassed that seen during a historic 1941 deluge. It is the fourth such environmental disaster in a year, following floods in July, September and November 2023 that killed 75 people in total.
On Thursday, a dam at a hydroelectric plant between the cities of Bento Goncalves and Cotipora partially collapsed and entire cities in the Taquari River valley, like Lajeado and Estrela, were completely overtaken by water. In the town of Feliz, 50 miles (80 kilometers) from the state capital, Porto Alegre, a massively swollen river swept away a bridge that connected it with the neighbouring city of Linha Nova.
Operators reported electricity, communications and water cuts across the state. More than 24,000 people had to leave their homes, according to the civil defence agency.

The horrible video shows a woman taking the hand of the corpse and attempting to sign the bank documents.

A woman in Brazil has been arrested for trying to use the signature of a dead man to obtain a bank loan. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The horrible video shows a woman next to the corpse of a 68-year-old man on a wheelchair. She takes the man's hand and attempts to sign the bank documents.&nbsp; According to the police, the incident happened in a Rio suburb on April 16. &nbsp; &nbsp; The woman, identified as Erika Vieira Nunes, wheeled the man to the bank, although he was reported dead for hours. The woman claimed that the old man was her uncle and he wanted to secure a loan amounting to 17, 000 Real (Approx. ₹2.71 lakh).
In the video, she was seen holding a pen and directing the dead body to sign the documents. &nbsp; The accused woman was heard saying in a footage, "Uncle, are you listening? You need to sign." &nbsp; After the bank staff said that the man is not looking in the best of his condition, the woman responded saying, "If you're not okay, I'm going to take you to the hospital," Reuters reported.&nbsp; &ldquo;She tried to pretend to get him to sign the loan. He already entered the bank dead,&rdquo; Police Chief F&aacute;bio Luiz said, according to the New York Post.&nbsp;

Lawyers for 40-year-old Robinho said they will file a request for habeas corpus at Brazil's Supreme Court so he can remain free while he appeals.

Brazil court rules Robinho must serve 9-year prison term for rape

A Brazilian high court ruled that former football star Robinho must serve his 9-year prison sentence in his home nation as a result of his 2017 rape conviction in Italy.

Lawyers for 40-year-old Robinho said they will file a request for habeas corpus at Brazil's Supreme Court so he can remain free while he appeals.

A Brazilian high court ruled that former football star Robinho must serve his 9-year prison sentence in his home nation as a result of his 2017 rape conviction in Italy.
Lawyers for 40-year-old Robinho said they will file a request for habeas corpus at Brazil's Supreme Court so he can remain free while he appeals.
Judges on Brazil's Superior Court of Justice in the capital city of Brasilia voted 9-2 to validate the conviction of the former Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan striker.
Robinho was sentenced in Italy to 9 years in prison for his part in a group sexual assault in 2013 when he played for AC Milan.
Brazil doesn't extradite nationals, which led Italy to seek his imprisonment in his home nation.
&ldquo;Brazil cannot be a shelter for criminals,&rdquo; judge Mauro Campbell Marques said during his vote.
Judges wrapped up their voting in less than a day. Most Brazilian legal analysts expected the court's decision to take days, possibly weeks.
The swift decision came on the same day a Spanish court decided that Brazilian soccer star Dani Alves could leave prison if he pays a bail of one million euros ($1.1 million) and hands over his passports while awaiting the appeal of his conviction for raping a woman in Barcelona.
Robinho's lawyer, Jos&eacute; Eduardo Alckmin, told the court at the start of Wednesday's hearing that his client wants a retrial in Brazil on the grounds of national sovereignty.
Alckmin added that without a habeas corpus Robinho could be jailed &ldquo;in a matter of days, it could even be hours.&rdquo; &ldquo;Robinho is available for our judiciary. If an officer gets there, he will comply. He will not oppose,&rdquo; the lawyer said.
The first judge to vote, Francisco Falc&atilde;o, said Robinho should serve his sentence in Brazil. He added that the former player cannot go unpunished and that diplomatic friction between Brazil and Italy could emerge if the sentence is not served.
&ldquo;There's no obstacle to validate the execution of his sentence. It was confirmed by a court in Milan, which is the competent authority in this case,&rdquo; Falc&atilde;o said. &ldquo;The conviction is final. The defendant was not put on trial in absence in Italy, he had representation.&rdquo; Judge Raul Ara&uacute;jo, one of the two who disagreed with the majority, argued Robinho cannot be jailed in Brazil for a conviction in Italy.
Judge Isabel Gallotti, one of the few women in the court, disagreed.
&ldquo;This foreign sentence is long, well-founded and well-reasoned,&rdquo; Gallotti said.
Robinho lives in Santos, outside Sao Paulo. He relinquished his passport to Brazilian authorities in March 2023. He continues to deny any wrongdoing and insists his sexual relations with the woman at a Milan bar were consensual.
The court also ruled it will be up to authorities in Santos to decide when and how to jail Robinho.
Lawyer Jacopo Gnocchi, who represented the victim, said he and his client were satisfied by the Brazil court's ruling &ldquo;We believe that this is the fair conclusion of a case that took place in Italy, with assurances for all the defendants who were then found guilty,&rdquo; Gnocchi told Brazilian news website UOL. &ldquo;We respected and we understood that the Brazilian Constitution does not allow the extradition (of its own citizens), but that does not change the fact that when the sentence is final it is fair... that the sentence is applied.&rdquo; The former footballer said in an interview with TV Record aired on Sunday that racism was to blame for his conviction in Italy.
&ldquo;I played only four years in Italy and I got tired of seeing stories of racism. Unfortunately that exists to this day. (The rape case) was in 2013, now we are in 2024. The same people who don't do anything against it (racism) are the ones who sentenced me,&rdquo; Robinho said.
Federal prosecutor Hindemburgo Chateaubriand reminded the judges during the session of some audio recordings obtained by Italian authorities in which Robinho discussed the case with friends.
&ldquo;I can't even say all he said because it would be too vulgar for this court,&rdquo; Chateaubriand said.
Brazilian media published some of those recordings last year.
&ldquo;We will punch her in her face. You will punch her in the face and say; What did I do to you?'&rdquo; Robinho tells a friend in one of the excerpts, during which he claims he did not take part of the rape.
In another dialogue, Robinho says &ldquo;that is why I am laughing, I don't care at all.&rdquo; Robinho rose to national fame in 2002 as a 18-year-old who led Santos to its first national title since the Pel&eacute; era. He did it again two years later as he became a prolific scorer with 21 goals in 36 matches in the Brazilian league.
In 2005, Robinho won the Confederations Cup with Brazil and left for Real Madrid, but he didn't stand out in a team that already had Ronaldo Naz&aacute;rio, Zinedine Zidane, and David Beckham.
He joined Manchester City in 2008 and one year later was accused of rape during a night out in Leeds. Police did not file charges.
Robinho returned to Santos in 2010 to be a mentor to a young Neymar. He won the Brazilian Cup as a reference for the promising teenager and earned a place at Brazil's starting eleven for the 2010 World Cup. His team was knocked out in the quarterfinals by the Netherlands.
The Brazilian joined AC Milan after the World Cup and won the Serie A title that year. Following the rape case, he rejoined Santos along with stints in China and Turkey

A gunman wounded two people at Rio de Janeiro's main bus station Tuesday and held 16 passengers hostage for three hours before being convinced to surrender, police said.
There were scenes of panic as gunshots rang out in the afternoon at the Novo Rio station through which some 38,000 people pass daily, with buses headed for all regions of Brazil.
Witnesses said a man opened fire before boarding the bus, where he took hostage 16 people, including a child and six elderly persons, for reasons police have not disclosed.
An earlier police tally had a total of 17 hostages.
A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and abdomen and was in a serious condition in hospital, said Rio health secretary Daniel Soranz.
A second person, also hospitalized, was less severely injured.
"The hostage-taker surrendered, he was arrested, all the hostages were released, they are safe," Colonel Marco Andrade of the military police announced about three hours after the crisis began.
The surrender came after agents from the elite Special Operations Battalion were deployed to the scene to conduct negotiations, according to police.
Officers had cordoned off the station after evacuating all employees and passengers, who crowded in the hundreds outside while police tried to reason with the gunman.
Images broadcast by the Globo news channel showed agents escorting a man in a colorful pink T-shirt, green Bermuda shorts and short hair towards a police van after the incident as passengers exited the bus, including a young woman with a baby in her arms.
The hostage-taker's identity has not been revealed, but Rio military police secretary Luiz Henrique Marinho said it appeared he had been trying to "flee" the city over "problems in his faction," in apparent reference to a criminal gang.
"At some point he felt threatened by someone, a person or a group, on the bus, and that's when he fired the shots," Marinho told Globo.
On social network X, Rio state Governor Claudio Castro praised the "exemplary" action of police in bringing the drama to a close.
Televised images showed chaotic scenes at the station as fearful passengers scattered and a blue bus remained stationary in the middle of an empty parking lot.
"A man drew a gun, started shooting and entered the bus. I have two friends on this bus, everyone is desperate, we don't know what will happen," one witness told Globo ahead of the passengers' release.
Bus hijackings are not unknown in Rio.
In 2019 a hijacker armed with what turned out to be a fake gun held bus passengers hostage on a bridge outside the city for nearly four hours before being shot dead by police snipers.
In 2011, a similar incident left three people injured in the heart of Brazil's most iconic city, long plagued by high crime rates linked to poverty and inequality.
And in 2000, a hostage-taker and a captive were killed in another bus hijacking that was broadcast live to a rapt audience and inspired the 2008 movie "Last Stop 174."
Rio's sprawling favelas, which crowd the metropolitan area's hillsides, often overlooking picture-postcard beaches and lush mountains, are the epicenter of gang and drug-related violence.

Bolsenaro's supporters held huge protests amid the federal police investigation on his role in the January 8, 2023 attacks on government buildings by his supporters after he lost the presidential elections.

Massive protests in Brazil as Bolsonaro faces possible jail term 

Bolsenaro's supporters held huge protests amid the federal police investigation into his role in the January 8, 2023 riots.

Bolsenaro's supporters held huge protests amid the federal police investigation into his role in the January 8, 2023 riots.

Tens of thousands of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro rallied in Brazil's biggest city Sunday to defend him against legal challenges that could put him in jail.
The far-right leader said in a speech that he seeks "pacification to erase the past,&rdquo; taking a more conciliatory tone than when he was in office.
Bolsonaro is seeking to show his base is resilient as he is being investigated by federal police over his alleged role in the January 8, 2023, attacks on government buildings by his supporters over his election loss. He wants the dozens of people still in jail for those incidents to get pardons.
Bolsonaro is also accused of illegally receiving jewels from Saudi Arabia during his presidency.
Six blocks of Paulista Avenue filled with Bolsonaro supporters, many of them saying that he is being persecuted by Brazil's Supreme Court and that President Luiz In&aacute;cio Lula da Silva unfairly won his narrow victory in the 2022 election.
Some also carried Israeli flags as a show of defiance to the current president, who has received widespread criticism at home for comparing Israel's military offensive in Gaza to the Holocaust.
&ldquo;What I seek is pacification, it is erasing the past,&rdquo; Bolsonaro said in a speech as he held an Israeli flag himself. &ldquo;It is to seek a way for us to live in peace and stop being so jumpy. Amnesty for those poor people who are jailed in Brasilia. We ask all 513 congressmen, 81 senators for a bill of amnesty so justice can be made in Brazil.&rdquo; Bolsonaro denied that he and his supporters attempted a coup when rioters assaulted government buildings a year ago.
"What is a coup? It is tanks on the streets, weapons, conspiracy. None of that happened in Brazil," he said.
Bolsonaro is barred from running for office until 2030 due to two convictions of abuse of power, but he remains active in Brazilian politics as the main adversary for left-of-centre Lula. As this year's mayoral elections loom, candidates have split between the two leaders.
Some of Bolsonaro's allies aiming to unseat Lula in the 2026 elections also attended, including influential governors Tarcisio de Freitas of Sao Paulo state and Romeu Zema of Minas Gerais state. But other key politicians and business executives who aligned with him during his 2019-2022 presidency did not show up.
Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, predicted the pro-Bolsonaro event would not help the former president's legal situation.
&ldquo;The fact that Bolsonaro doesn't yield any power now reduces what he can do. Beforehand, we feared he could use the force of the armed forces. Now that is ruled out,&rdquo; Melo said. &ldquo;This new reality does not favor him with unpredictability and drama.&rdquo; The event showed, though, that Bolsonaro's message still resonates with many Brazilians, some of whom evidently favour any coup attempt that would put him in charge. One man paraded wearing a military hat and shouted: &rdquo;Brazil, nation, hail our forces. The armed forces didn't sleep!&rdquo; Federal police investigations also include military generals among those who are alleged to have plotted a pro-Bolsonaro coup with the riots in the capital city of Brasilia last year.
Other Bolsonaro supporters believe Brazil faces the risk of radicalism under Lula, who also governed for two terms in 2003-2010.
&ldquo;It is a country that was taken over by a communist party,&rdquo; hairstylist Simone da Silva Sampaio said, in a reference to the president's Workers' Party. &ldquo;We're living terrible days in this place, where we are silenced. We don't have the right to speak about the truth that happens here.&rdquo; Workers' Party chairwoman Gleisi Hoffmann was one of the few high profile adversaries of the former president to make comments about the pro-Bolsonaro event in Sao Paulo.
&ldquo;When he speaks about amnesty for those sentenced for the riots of Jan. 8, Bolsonaro aims at his own impunity. He cannot defend interests that are not his own,&rdquo; Hoffman said on her social media channels. &ldquo;We should not have any complacency with coup mongers, starting from their boss.&rdquo;

Speaking to reporters at the African Union summit in Ethiopia, Lula said what is happening in the Gaza Strip and to the Palestinian people hasn't been seen in any other moment in history except when Hitler decided to kill the Jews.

Brazil President compares Gaza war to Holocaust; Israel says 'red line' crossed

Speaking to reporters at the African Union summit in Ethiopia, Lula said what is happening in the Gaza Strip and to the Palestinian people hasn't been seen in any other moment in history except when Hitler decided to kill the Jews. 

Speaking to reporters at the African Union summit in Ethiopia, Lula said what is happening in the Gaza Strip and to the Palestinian people hasn't been seen in any other moment in history except when Hitler decided to kill the Jews.

Israel has condemned Brazil's president for comparing the war in Gaza to the Holocaust, accusing him of being antisemitic and trivializing the Nazi genocide of European Jews during World War II.
The outcry further strained relations between the countries, which have deteriorated since President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva returned to office last year. Lula has portrayed himself as a leader of the &ldquo;Global South,&rdquo; a loosely defined group of developing countries.
Speaking to reporters at the African Union summit in Ethiopia, Lula said that &ldquo;what is happening in the Gaza Strip and to the Palestinian people hasn't been seen in any other moment in history. Actually, it did when Hitler decided to kill the Jews." Such comments strike a raw nerve in Israel, a country established as a haven for Jews in the wake of the Holocaust. Israel rejects any comparisons of its conduct in the war in Gaza to the Holocaust.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Lula's comments &ldquo;trivialised the Holocaust&rdquo; and &ldquo;crossed a red line.&rdquo; He also accused Lula of being a &ldquo;virulent anti-Semite.&rdquo; Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on X that he had summoned Brazil's ambassador to Israel for a reprimand. Katz called Lula's comments &ldquo;shameful and serious.&rdquo; Lula's comments came after leaders at the AU summit on Saturday condemned Israel's offensive in Gaza and called for its immediate end.
The war was triggered by an October 7 attack by Hamas militants, who stormed into southern Israel and killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 hostages. Militants still hold around 130 hostages, a fourth of them believed to be dead. Most of the others were released during a weeklong cease-fire in November.
The war has killed at least 28,985 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Around 80 per cent of Gaza's population have been driven from their homes, and a quarter face starvation.
The heavy death toll and widespread damage have led to mounting criticism of Israel and growing calls for a cease-fire.
Lula has previously said Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza and has supported South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide at the UN's International Court of Justice. His comment Sunday was the first time he directly compared Israel's actions to the Holocaust.
In January, during a meeting with the Palestinian ambassador, Lula condemned Hamas' attack on October 7 but said there was no justification for the indiscriminate killing of civilians and pushed for a cease-fire.

<h2>A potential suspension by FIFA would result in CBF losing all membership rights and its teams becoming ineligible to participate in international competitions.</h2>

FIFA issued a stern warning to Brazil on Sunday, indicating the potential suspension of its national teams and clubs from international competitions. This warning comes in light of possible interference by Brazil's football authority, which could lead to the early election of a new president in January.
The international football governing body communicated its concerns in a letter addressed to a Brazilian football executive, stating that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) risks suspension if it proceeds with an election to replace the current president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, regardless of FIFA's advice.&nbsp;
On December 7, a court in Rio de Janeiro removed Rodrigues and his appointees at CBF due to irregularities in his election the previous year. This decision was later upheld by Brazil's two highest courts. FIFA, which traditionally opposes governmental or third-party interventions in its member associations, warned that such actions could result in Brazil, a five-time World Cup champion, being barred from major tournaments until the issue is resolved.
The Rio court also appointed Jos&eacute; Perdiz, head of Brazil's top sports court, to organize new presidential elections within 30 working days. FIFA, however, views this intervention as inappropriate, as stated in previous correspondence with CBF.
The warning letter was signed by FIFA&rsquo;s chief members&rsquo; association officer, Kenny Jean-Marie, and CONMEBOL&rsquo;s deputy secretary-general, Monserrat Jim&eacute;nez Garcia. Both FIFA and CONMEBOL plan to form a commission to discuss the matter in Brazil on January 8.
The letter emphasized, &ldquo;FIFA and CONMEBOL would like to strongly emphasize that, until such mission takes place, no decision affecting CBF, including any elections or call for elections, shall be taken. Should this not be respected, FIFA will have no other option but to submit the matter to its relevant decision-making body for consideration and decision, which might also include a suspension.&rdquo;
It further highlighted that a potential suspension by FIFA would result in CBF losing all membership rights and its teams becoming ineligible to participate in international competitions.
The letter also cautioned that irregular interference in its member associations could lead to sanctions, including suspension, as outlined in the FIFA Statutes.
Responding to FIFA's letter, Perdiz viewed it as a positive sign and reiterated his intention to conduct elections transparently within the established deadline.
No response was received from Rodrigues&rsquo; spokespersons regarding the AP&rsquo;s request for comment. Rodrigues, who succeeded Rog&eacute;rio Caboclo as interim president in 2021, faces legal issues, though not related to corruption as with his predecessors. His term runs through 2026.
This ruling against Rodrigues could impact Brazil&rsquo;s bid to host the Women&rsquo;s World Cup in 2027 and his plans to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as the national team coach next year.

Watch Brazil vs Venezuela Highlights: Stunning overhead goal, heated exchange post 1-1 draw

<h2>Eduard Bello's stunning overhead kick earned Venezuela a 1-1 draw against Brazil in the World Cup qualifier.</h2>

A stunning overhead kick by Eduard Bello was enough for Venezuela to hold Brazil to a 1-1 draw in their 2026 World Cup Qualifier on Thursday, ending Brazil's 15-match winning streak at home in qualifying that stretched back to 2015.
After a goalless first half in Cuiaba, defender Gabriel Magalhaes got the opening goal in the 50th minute, meeting Neymar's corner for his first international goal.
The draw sees Brazil, who next face Uruguay in Montevideo, fall to second in the standings after Argentina's victory in Buenos Aires, where the hosts earned the narrow win thanks to an early stunner by Nicolas Otamendi.

Officials did not give details on the nationalities of the deceased people.

A small passenger plane crashed in Brazil's Amazon rainforest Saturday, killing all 14 people on board, Amazonas state Governor Wilson Lima announced.
"I deeply regret the death of the 12 passengers and two crew members who were victims of the plane crash in Barcelos on Saturday," Lima said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Embraer PT-SOG aircraft had taken off from Manaus, the Amazonas state capital and the biggest city in the Amazon, and was attempting to land in heavy rain when it crashed, local media reported.
The passengers were Brazilian tourists on their way to fish, the reports said.
Video footage posted by the Globo television network showed the plane lying on a muddy dirt track with the front part of the aircraft in green foliage. A couple of dozen people are seen standing nearby holding umbrellas.
The Brazilian Air Force sent a team from Manaus to collect information and preserve any evidence that could be used for the investigation into the crash, an Air Force statement said.

Brazil hands out 17-year sentence to January 8 Congress attacker

Brazil's top court has started handing out punishments for those who forcefully entered the Congress offices on January 8.

A right-wing Brazil insurrectionist, who was seen breaking into the Senate and calling for a coup, has been handed a 17-year sentence by the country&rsquo;s top court. The convict has denied any wrongdoing.
The 51-year-old was also seen recording a video as nearly 1,500 people forcefully entered the Brazillian parliament on January 8.
