invaded the presidential palace and supreme court. mr bolsonaro lost the october election to the socialist, luis inacio lula da silva, who was sworn in last week. mr bolsonaro�*s supporters have been calling for military intervention and the resignation of mr lula da silva. in the past hour, the brazilian president has condemned the invasion by what he called "fascist fanatics". mr lula is in sao paulo. here's more of what mr lula said. translation: we think there was a lack of security _ translation: we think there was a lack of security and _ translation: we think there was a lack of security and i _ translation: we think there was a lack of security and i wanted - translation: we think there was a lack of security and i wanted to - lack of security and i wanted to tell you that all those people who did this will be found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech, but it also demands that people respect the institutions created to strengthen democracy. let's take a closer look at where this is happening. bolsonaro�*s supporters are in brazil's capital, brasilia. demonstrators overwhelmed police and entered the national congress complex.

other protestors have invaded the presidential palace, supreme court and some ministry buildings. senior politicians in brazil have denounced the actions of bolsonaro�*s supporters. the brazilian senator randolfe rodrigues tweeted, saying... the president of brazil's national congress, rodrigo pacheco, said... the governor of brasilia's federal district, ibaneis rocha, said on twitter...

and brazil's minister of planning, simone tebet, who serves in lula's cabinet said... earlier i spoke to our south america correspondent — katy watson — who walked us through the events of today. well, a lot of the scenes we have been seeing coming out of brasilia are very reminiscent of what we saw on january 6th in the us capitol. jair bolsonaro is a man whose nickname is trump of the tropics. for many people, this is seen as straight out of the trump playbook. there were scenes of the crowds pulling a mounted policeman off his horse, windows and doors being broken to access congress, tear gas being fired. i mean, scenes of chaos and scenes that many people feared

would happen, ever since lula won the elections in october. but yet never actually came to pass and i think that is what is so worrying about the events we have seen. we sawjust a week ago lula was sworn in and at that point there were supporters, hard—line supporters of jair bolsonaro who were cleared away from the centre of brasilia and it was an event that passed off without, in peace, without any aggression or any confrontation. and, you know, perhaps there was a feeling that that issue, although was still latent, in terms of something more severe had gone away, but clearly what we are seeing now, those people are back, those people are back with a vengeance and this is something we are seeing in brasilia, but you have to remember that ever since the elections in october, there have been far right supporters of jair bolsonaro, who have been camped out in military barracks across the country,

so this is notjust something we have seen in brasilia of the supporters. and people who are very anti—lula coming back to power have been across the country, not just in the capital. yes, an important point that you make there, that it was a very close election in the end. but we just heard from president da silva. he has introduced what he calls a federal intervention. he was speaking at a press conference a short while ago and has just finished, i understand. do we know what that means, what that looks like? i know very little, apart from i think it is going to extend for the whole of the month of january. he is actually out of the capital, he is on an official visit here in sao paulo state, but clearly there have been dramatic measures that need to be introduced. this is something that i think, what is

worth pointing out is this is notjust about people who are angry thatjair bolsonaro lost. they are angry that lula won. yes, it was a very close race. lula won just over half of the votes, so just under half of those people who voted did not want lula back in any way, they see him as a corrupt politician who has spent time in jail. those charges have been annulled, but that isn't something that will convince the people who do not want to see him, who want to see him back in prison and not in the presidential palace and there are strong protesters who he has to contend with and that is just what we are seeing in brasilia, that shows the deep divide here in brazil and the huge challenge that lula has to try and win these people over and prove that he is a leader and a leader to everybody and i think that is going to be the ultimate challenge for lula because this is such a divided country. and we continue to watch those events.

that was katy watson bringing us that useful content from sao paulo. a short time ago i spoke tojournalist euan marshall in san paulo. he is the editor of �*the brazilian report" and he told me while today's events, on a sunday when many of the government buildings are empty, came as a surprise, it wasn't entirely unexpected. it is somewhat of a surprise, i think, just for the way that it happened today, it seemed quite all of a sudden, but the idea that there is some sort of violent storming of government buildings of brasilia has been on the cards for quite awhile now. there have been open threats made pro—bolsonaro activists that they would want to do exactly that, which means that, you know, it adds to the surprise today in terms of the police presence that we saw at brasilia just really didn't seem to be the police presence of a capital that potentially expected something like this to happen. there was hardly any law enforcement on the street, the police barricades were easily

overthrown by these bolsonaro supporters and it is just a bit of a mess right now there. and what is your sense of why this is happening now? this is a week after the new president has been sworn in. yes, it is interesting because of course the comparisons with the january 6th capitol riots in the us are obviously there, but this is hugely different. i mean, there is no direct objective to try to stop lula from taking power because he already has taken power and also today is a sunday and congress and the supreme court are all in recess at the moment, so they are not working, the buildings are largely empty. so, you know, there is... the motivation of this kind of attack is quite strange, especially considering the negative repercussions that this is going to have, not only in brazil, but around the world, i think. and jair bolsonaro, i understand, is in florida. what role is he playing in all this?

have we heard anything from him? well, since the election at the end of october, when bolsonaro lost to lula by a razor—thin margin, bolsonaro has remained quite quiet about the election results. he hasn't officially even conceded the election result. but at the same time, he has tried to maintain some sort of distance from the pro—bolsonaro protesters that have been on the street and the ones storming the government buildings today. he hasn't outright kind of endorsed their actions. he has made some gestures towards them, supporting them implicitly, but he hasn't taken a really active role in this, assumingly because these are anti—democratic protests and if he does he could face criminal responsibility. i mean, some people watching might see some comparisons there with how president trump handled the storming of the congress. i just wonder what you make of how these events are unfolding and how you think

the government will respond. we obviously heard from president lula talking there about bringing in some measures to respond to this, but what do you think might happen next? well, it is interesting because we have heard from some bolsonaro allies, or at least previous bolsonaro allies, but this does not represent bolsonaro allies, but this does not represent the, the protest is not what they have in mind and it might actually offer quite a good opportunity for lula as an incoming president, he can basically have all of the parties in congress together condemning what happened today and potentially banding around, behind him and giving him some support for the start of his term. i don't think this looks good at all for these bolsonaro supporters, especially the bolsonaro supporters involved in these events. there is likely to be major criminal repercussions for them and yes, it could even work to lula's favour, but that is what we are going to have to see over the next days and weeks because things

are still very fast moving here at the moment. yes, things are certainly still moving very fast, but looking at some of the pictures that you have seen, of what has been happening, i mean, is there a sense that this was organised? because we have heard some people tell us on this programme that there were suggestions that something like this could happen. how well—organised does this protest or this movement actually seem? well, one interesting piece of information is that over 100 coaches carrying bolsonaro supporters arrived in brasilia this weekend. so, you know, that is already showing a kind of a sense of organisation, that there was going to be some sort of large—scale protest. i think the actual storming of these buildings took a lot of people by surprise, but, you know, the way that these things are orchestrated is usually by messaging apps. where you have got lots of these disparate groups who kind of orchestrate and organise these

protests, so it is quite hard to keep up with and know exactly who is behind it, but i'm sure all of that will be investigated in the coming weeks and months because this is just caused such a massive scandal in brazil and of course something has to be done. ewa n ewan marshall —— euan marshall is editor of the brazilian report. reaction has also been coming in from the united states, which has just marked the second anniversary of the january the 6th attack on the us capitol. president biden has called the situation in brazil "outrageous", and secretary of state antony blinken tweeted... and expressed support for president lula da silva. joining me now from washington is our correspondent, david willis. david, it seems like this something that the united states definitely had respond to?— that the united states definitely had resond to? , . ., _

had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president — had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president biden, _ had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president biden, as _ had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president biden, as we _ had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president biden, as we have - had respond to? very much so, nancy, and president biden, as we have beenl and president biden, as we have been hearing, has arrived in the last hour or so in el paso, texas. he has been attempting to deal with the situation down there on the border, a completely different topic, but he expressed his concern, he said that what is happening there is outrageous. meanwhile, his national security adviser, jake sullivan, told reporters via twitter that the president is being briefed on the situation in brasilia and in brazil in general and he said the united states condemns any effort to undermine democracy in brazil. president biden is following the situation closely and our support for brazil's democratic institutions in unwavering. from the senate foreign relations committee, the senator bob menendez, he has tweeted a statement, saying that the committee condemns what they call, this outrageous assault on brazil's government buildings, incited by demagogue bolsonaro's reckless

disregard for democratic principles. we have also had some strong reaction from europe, from the eu, from, i am so sorry, that is the wrong piece of paper, from the european council president, michel, who wrote on twitter, pledging his full support for resident lula and the democratically elected government there, and support as well from president macron of france and from the president of argentina, alberto fernandez, who has called on the region tonight against what he called anti—democratic mob attacks in brazil. so you get the impression there that there is a lot of universal condemnation from several continents for what is going down in brazil at the moment.— brazil at the moment. surrounded condemnation _ brazil at the moment. surrounded condemnation from _ brazil at the moment. surrounded condemnation from all _

brazil at the moment. surrounded condemnation from all parts - brazil at the moment. surrounded condemnation from all parts of. brazil at the moment. surrounded| condemnation from all parts of the world, but of course there is particular focus on the united states's response to this because of what happened onjanuary six, which many people are calling this event in brazil almost a copycat move. in terms of the reaction, then, in the united states, is that bipartisan? yes, i think it is going to be and of course you're absolutely right, nancy, there are eerie parallels to the events ofjust over two years ago here, when we saw that insurrection, that deadly insurrection, that deadly insurrection at the us capitol building, which claimed the lives of about people on the day and the days of thereafter. of course, it has been something that was marked just a few days ago by president biden when he gave out medals, some of them awarded posthumously to people who were caught up in the attacks on that day and a very solemn ceremony took place at the white house to

commemorate that second anniversary, but the parallels are quite striking. the tear gas to somebody taking their seat in an official�*s chair there to the damage that has been caused because, to the buildings there and of course there are parallels politically because jair bolsonaro is a far right, was a far right president, he was an ally of donald trump and the nickname was conjured up, of course, that he was the trump of the tropics, but we also know that several donald trump advisers, including steve bannon and jason miller, have been advising jair bolsonaro in recent days and weeks. 50 jair bolsonaro in recent days and weeks, ,., jair bolsonaro in recent days and weeks. , , , ., weeks. so some pretty strong connection — weeks. so some pretty strong connection is _ weeks. so some pretty strong connection is there _ weeks. so some pretty strong connection is there between l weeks. so some pretty strong l connection is there between the weeks. so some pretty strong - connection is there between the two. thank you very much, david willis joining us there from washington, dc. prince harry has said he never had any intention of hurting or harming his father or brother, by releasing his tell—all memoir. in an interview on british tv this evening to promote his book,

china has reopened its borders to international visitors for the first time since the start of the pandemic. people entering the country will no longer need to quarantine but will need to provide proof of a negative covid test, and chinese citizens are once again allowed to go overseas. there have been emotional reunions at airports and the mainland's border with hong kong. this latest lifting of coronavirus restrictions coincides with the country's busiest travel season marking the lunar new year. our correspondent, martin yip, sent us this report. time to go home, finally. here at the hong kong checkpoint, travellers came streaming on again this sunday morning heading for the western province. this is in mainland china. the crowd is much smaller in size than before, but still lively after almost three years of covid restrictions. even though the risk of catching covid is still high. translation: i'm pretty excited.

it's easier to head home now. i booked my shuttle bus ticket right away to go see my family there. the outbreak in mainland china has been going on for months, but i'm a bit worried because i have never got covid before. and the bridge checkpoint is just one of them. more people have taken the metro train heading to the north of the border. hong kong's leader is eager to check how things are going. at present, up to 50,000 residents can cross the border daily, but he promises to discuss fully reopening the border with his mainland china counterparts. for some, the reopening is way too quick. china says it is still in control. translation: downgrading covid does i not mean letting it out of control. i rather, we have been more scientific, targeted and efficient in our response. we can do better in coordinating pandemic response and economic development.

good evening. after a rather wet and windy first week of january 2023, we are heading into a second week in a similar note. unsettled weather on the cards to the week ahead, often fairly wet and windy, meanly mild for the time of year, though temperatures will fluctuate for the next couple of days, but let's have a look at the accumulated rainfall through this week, always the wettest weather coming off the atlantic, particularly in parts of wales, up to 100 millilitres of rain falling here, north—west england, western scotland as well, so the potential for flooding, particularly scotland as well, so the potential forflooding, particularly in scotland as well, so the potential for flooding, particularly in the west this week. low pressure at the moment, winds rotating in a north—westerly direction, so not

quite as mild as it has been of late, still got the milder air sitting in the wings and that is on the way for tuesday. monday a day of sunshine and showers, quite a chilly start for western areas, rooting through the early part of the morning showers, elsewhere concentrated in scotland and north of england, elsewhere things looking dry by the afternoon, 6—10 , a noticeable breeze blowing, particularly across northern and western parts of the uk. cool and clear for a time, western parts of the uk. cool and clearfor a time, but during the early hours of tuesday the next area of low pressure drives this cloud and rain in strengthening winds into the west, just holding on to the colder and clearer conditions for the far east of scotland into tuesday morning. money to this frontal system, tuesday morning. money to this frontalsystem, pushing tuesday morning. money to this frontal system, pushing systems across the uk, lots of isobars on the chart, putting in between the cold front and warm front this warmer section of air, so temperature is mild for the time of year, but pretty wet and windy. some

snow for a time over the higher ground of scotland, though, the main band of rain pushing north and east, followed by heavy downpours in the west earlier on and it really will feel windy wherever you are, gusts inland a0 mph, but around exposed coasts it could be 50—60 mph, even higher than that potentially later in the north of scotland, but further south we are looking at 13-1a c further south we are looking at 13—1a c on tuesday afternoon. thing is remaining pretty unsettled for much of the week ahead, hint of things turning a bit cooler through the course of the coming weekend. goodbye.

this is bbc news. the headlines... thousands of supporters of the former president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, have stormed the country's national congress in brasilia. police say they have now retaken control of the building and president lula da silva said everyone involved will be found and punished. britain's prince harry says he never intended to hurt his father or brother by writing a memoir, and talks about his mother's funeral. president biden has arrived in texas to visit the us border with mexico for the first time since taking office. record numbers of migrants have crossed over recently. the uk prime minister, rishi sunak, says the government will discuss a pay deal that's "affordable" with the nurses' union to settle strikes. that's welcomed by the biggest nursing union as "a chink of optimism".
