  • Police release video showing Charlie Kirk shooting suspect fleeing scene | BBC News
    The FBI and Utah officials have released a new video showing the suspect fleeing the scene of the crime - running across the roof and dropping over the edge before entering a wooded area.
    A black T-shirt with an American flag and Converse shoes were highlighted as "distinctive" features of the suspect who killed Charlie Kirk, a key ally of President Trump.
    DNA examinations of the crime scene are being conducted for prosecutors to pursue death penalty for the suspect, police say.

  • Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro found guilty of plotting military coup | BBC News
    The former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been found guilty of plotting a military coup.
    Brazil's Supreme Court reached the majority of three votes needed to find him guilty.
    The 70-year-old has been convicted of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the election in 2022.
    While his plot failed to gain enough support from the military, it still led to Bolsonaro's supporters storming government buildings on 8 January 2023, the justices found.

  • Is Gavin Newsom’s anti-Trump social media campaign working? | BBC Americast
    Sharing AI-generated images of himself riding a horse, waving a giant flag, inserting his face on Mount Rushmore... sound familiar?
    If you're California Governor Gavin Newsom, that's entirely the point as he embarks on a new strategy to combat Donald Trump online, by imitating him.
    It’s all part of a “dark woke” strategy which sees Newsom playing Trump at his own game on social media. Is the approach an online blueprint for the wider Democratic Party, and what are the risks for taking on the president so directly?

  • Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra sacked over leaked phone call with Cambodian leader | BBC News
    Thailand's prime minister has been removed by the Constitutional Court, plunging the country's politics into turmoil and dealing a blow to its most powerful political dynasty.
    Paetongtarn Shinawatra was dismissed for violating ethics in a leaked June phone call, where she could be heard calling Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen "uncle" and criticising the Thai army, amid worsening border tensions with Cambodia.
    The call, leaked by Hun Sen himself, damaged her reputation and critics accused her of undermining the country's army.
    The ruling makes Paetongtarn, the daughter of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, the fifth prime minister to be removed from office by the court since 2008.
