       As he boarded a plane from Florida bound for Brazil, he already knew his fate. Anderson Torres, the former Justice Minister of Brazil under the previous President, Jair Bolsonaro, was taken into custody after he landed.

       Authorities had ordered the former minister to return home, threatening to begin extradition proceedings if he didn’t comply.

       He faces accusations of colluding with thousands of Bolsonaro fans who ransacked Congress and the Supreme Court in a violent rejection of new President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

       Brazil's new justice minister, Flavio Dino, also confirmed the existence of a draft document found at Torres' home proposing steps for a possible 'correction' of the Presidential election.

       In response, Torres has denied the claims against him, saying that the draft document was likely destined to be destroyed.

       Meanwhile, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Friday authorised including Bolsonaro in its investigation into the causes of the attempted insurrection on 8 January.

       British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has promised to provide tanks and artillery systems to Ukraine, amid renewed missile attacks by Moscow targeting the Ukrainian capital and other cities.

       Sunak’s Downing Street office said in a statement that he made the pledge to provide Challenger 2 tanks after speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday.

       It did not say when the tanks were to be delivered or how many. British media has reported that four British Army Challenger 2 main battle tanks will be sent to eastern Europe immediately, with eight more to follow shortly after, without citing sources.

       In a tweet on Saturday, Zelenskyy thanked Sunak “for the decisions that will not only strengthen us on the battlefield, but also send the right signal to other partners.”

       For months, Ukraine has sought to be supplied with heavier tanks, including the U.S. Abrams and the German Leopard 2 tanks, but Western leaders have been treading carefully.

       Descendants of Martin Luther King J. have gathered at the US' oldest public park in Boston to dedicate a massive monument to the civil rights icon, where he first met his wife Coretta Scott King.

       In the early 1950s, the civil rights leader was a doctoral student in theology at Boston University and she was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music.

       The $10 million sculpture is called "The Embrace" and consists of four intertwined arms. It was inspired by a photo of the Kings when King Jr. learned he had won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
