BOLSONARO SUPPORTERS STORM BRAZIL’S PRESIDENTIAL PALACE AND SUPREME COURT

Subscribe to INANUTSHELL

Supporters of Brazilian far-right ex-President Jair Bolsonaro have stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and surrounded the presidential palace.

The dramatic scenes come a week after left-wing veteran Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's inauguration.

Supporters of Mr Bolsonaro - who refuse to accept that he lost the election - broke through police barriers in the capital, Brasília.

Police used tear gas but failed to repel the demonstrators.

Protesters have smashed windows, while others reached the Senate chamber, where they jumped onto seats and used benches as slides.
