Ex-president put under house arrest

Brazil's Supreme Court put former president Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest on Monday ahead of his trial for an alleged coup plot. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the arrest order. Bolsonaro is on trial before the Supreme Court on charges he conspired with allies to violently overturn his 2022 electoral loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Trump has referred to the case as a "witch hunt" and called it grounds for a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian goods, taking effect on Wednesday.

Shipwreck leaves 56 dead, 132 missing: UN

A boat carrying African migrants that capsized over the weekend off the coast of Yemen left 56 dead and 132 missing, the UN immigration agency said on Tuesday. It is the latest in a series of shipwrecks off Yemen that have killed hundreds trying to reach wealthy Gulf countries. The vessel had 200 people on board when it sank early on Sunday off the coastal town of Shuqrah in Yemen's southern province of Abyan, the International Organization for Migration said.
