1. Bolsonaro supporters seize government buildings
Hundreds of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed the Congress building, the presidential palace and the Brazilian Supreme Court on Sunday.
President Lula da Silva was not present at the facilities (he was in Sao Paulo at the time of the attack) and neither of the two houses of Congress were in session.
Authorities brought the situation under control several hours later and reported at least 400 people arrested on Sunday.
The takeover of public buildings occurs about a week after Lula took office as president.
Several world leaders condemned the attack and expressed their support for Brazil's democracy.

US President Joe Biden is already in Mexico City where he was received this Sunday by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
They will be joined this Monday by the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, for the start of the North American Leaders Summit, which will run until January 11.
The meeting will discuss issues of border security and migration, climate change, competitiveness of the region and indigenous communities.
3. Biden visited El Paso, Texas
For the first time since he took office, US President Joe Biden visited the southern border of his country.
Biden spent a few hours in El Paso, the epicenter of the immigration crisis, but he did not appear to meet with migrants, instead focusing on compliance issues and speaking with border control personnel.
4. Ukraine rejects Russia's claim about hundreds of dead Ukrainian soldiers
Ukraine has rejected Moscow's claim that large numbers of Ukrainian soldiers were killed in a recent Russian attack on Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine.
"This is nonsense," a spokesman for the Eastern Group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces told CNN.
A CNN team on the ground has seen no indication of many casualties in the area.
Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 100 prisoners of war, authorities from both countries said.
