Brazil impeachment; Syrian document leak; Panama papers firm raided

Brazil's president is trying to stave off impeachment; Smuggled files appear to build a torture case against President Assad's regime; Panama firm at centre of tax leak is raided

The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff's hopes of staving off impeachment have been hit by the defection of another party from her governing coalition.

The Commission for International Justice and Accountability - an independent investigative body hoping to build a case for the prosecution of Bashar al-Assad for war crimes - say their team have amassed the strongest evidence 'since Nuremberg' tying the Assad regime to torture and killings on a near industrial scale.

The offices of the law firm Mossack Fonseca in Panama have been raided as it is investigated for assisting tax evasion.
