World news: Bolsonaro supporters storm Congress and presidential palace in Brazil's capital
Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who refuse to accept his electoral defeat stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital on Sunday .
Some are calling for a military intervention to restore the far-right Mr Bolsonaro to power. The demonstration comes just a week after the inauguration of his leftist rival, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Images on TV channel Globo News showed protesters roaming the presidential palace, many of them wearing green and yellow, the colours of the flag that have also come to symbolise the Bolsonaro government.
Bolsonaro supporters have been protesting against his opponent’s electoral win since October 30, blocking roads, setting vehicles on fires and gathering outside military buildings, asking armed forces to intervene. Many believed the election results were fraudulent or unreliable.
