Brazil's President says there's 'no relationship' with US

He said relations particularly icy since Mr Trump imposed fifty percent tariffs.

In a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ interview Brazil's President Lula da Silva says he has 'no relationship' with the US President. It's the clearest signal to date that he thinks communication between the two countries has broken down. He has also defended his plans for oil exploration at the mouth of the Amazon rainforest - a decision that has faced domestic opposition.

The European Commission has adopted a proposal to suspend its trade agreement with Israel and to impose sanctions on violent settlers and extremist members of the government. It follows a UN commission finding that Israel has committed genocide with its ongoing war in Gaza We look at whether this action can be agreed by member states.

And President Trump has celebrated the indefinite suspension of the late night TV host, Jimmy Kimmel. He's been taken off air by the network, ABC, for comments he made about the murder of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel suggested the man charged with killing the right- wing activist was aligned with Mr Trump's MAGA movement. The broadcasting regulator had suggested it could take action against ABC.
