Brazil's President Michel Temer is facing charges of corruption and obstruction of justice, according to an investigation released by the supreme court.

Close to 1m demonstrators marched in cities and towns across Brazil to protest a sluggish economy, rising prices, and corruption — and to call for the impeachment of left-wing president Dilma Rousseff.

President Dilma Rousseff was counting on Brazilians’ gratefulness for a decade of progress to overcome concerns about a sluggish economy as the leftist leader sought re-election after a bitter, unpredictable campaign.

Hundreds of relatives and friends of the Brazilian shot dead by police in London after being mistaken for a terrorist marched along the cobbled streets of his home town, demanding the arrest of the officers who fired the fatal shots.
