BBC World Service - BBC OS, Storming of Brazil's congress

The government in Brazil says 1,200 people have been arrested after Sunday's unrest

The government in Brazil says 1,200 people have been arrested after Sunday's unrest.

The security forces have taken back control after supporters of the former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress and other official buildings in the capital Brasilia. World leaders have condemned the violence. We bring updates and reaction on the developments and speak to Brazilians about how they view the event.

We also hear from people in Australia who are cut off by “once in a century” floods in the northwest.

Iran's judiciary has sentenced to death three more people accused of killing members of the security forces during the protests. Demonstrations have been continuing since the death in police custody of a young woman last year. Our colleague from BBC Persian explains.
