Brazil's Bolsonaro appeals house arrest order
Mr. Bolsonaro was placed under house arrest on Monday (August 4, 2025) after an order was issued by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes against him.
Mr. Moraes' decision cited a failure to comply with restraining orders he had imposed on Mr. Bolsonaro for allegedly courting U.S. President Donald Trump's interference in the case.
Mr. Bolsonaro's lawyers had already said that they would appeal the decision to place him under house arrest.
In the document sent on Wednesday (August 6, 2025), the lawyers said that Mr. Bolsonaro did not breach the restraining orders. They also asked for the house arrest order to be voted on by a wider panel of Supreme Court Justices.

Police say 8 killed, 3 injured at nightclub in Ecuador as violence surges
Synopsis A nightclub shooting in Ecuador's Guayas province resulted in eight fatalities and three injuries, marking the latest instance of violence in the country. Heavily armed suspects arrived on motorcycles and in vehicles, opening fire at the club in Santa Lucia. Reuters A shooting at a nightclub in Ecuador on Sunday killed eight people and injured three others in the latest violent incident to hit the spiralling South American country, authorities said. The shooting took place in the rural area of Santa Lucia in the coastal province of Guayas, considered one of the country's most dangerous. Seven of the victims, who were between 20 and 40 years old, died at the club and the eighth one at a hospital, according to a police statement. Authorities said the heavily armed suspects arrived on motorcycles and in two vehicles. It wasn't immediately known what prompted the shooting, which came two days after gunmen attacked a boat near El Oro province along the country's southwest coast. Four people were killed in that incident and several others remain missing after suspects launched explosives at the boat. Dozens of people have been killed in recent months, most of them in four of Ecuador's coastal provinces: El Oro, Guayas, Manabi and Los Rios. They all remain under a state of emergency. Authorities have blamed the wave of violence on disputes among organised crime groups linked to transnational drug cartels that have expanded their operations, especially in the Pacific region, where drugs are shipped to Central America, the United States and Europe. More than 4,600 people have been killed so far this year in the country of some 18 million inhabitants. Last year, nearly 7,000 killings were reported, down from more than 8,000 in 2023, a record number.

Both sides are probably going to be unhappy: US Vice-President JD Vance on Ukraine peace deal
United States Vice-President J D Vance said that a negotiated peace understanding between Russia and Ukraine was not likely to satisfy either side, adding that both would probably be 'unhappy'. Vance said that US was aiming for a settlement which would be accepted by both countries.(via REUTERS) 'It's not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians, probably, at the end of the day, are going to be unhappy with it,' Vance said in an interview with Fox News. Vance further said that US was aiming for a settlement which would be accepted by both countries. Trump-Putin meeting on August 15 Vance's statement comes after the US announced an upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, with the meeting expected to help make progress in negotiating an end to the war. Trump had earlier said that Russia and Ukraine were close to reaching a ceasefire deal, which could possibly put an end to the three-and-a-half-year-old conflict, while suggesting that Ukraine might have to surrender significant territory. In response to the suggestion, Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelensky said that the country would not violate its constitution on territorial issues, adding the country would not give its land 'to occupiers'. Zelensky further asserted that any decisions taken without Ukraine's involvement 'are at the same time decisions against peace', and that these would not work. However, Vance said that while the US was trying to schedule a meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelensky, it would not be productive for the Russian President to meet his Ukrainian counterpart before speaking to Trump. 'We're at a point now where we're trying to figure out, frankly, scheduling and things like that, around when these three leaders could sit down and discuss an end to this conflict,' Vance said in the interview. A White House official also stated that Trump would be open to a summit with both leaders, but that the US was now focused on planning the bilateral meeting with Putin.

Woman Ducks Under Desk As 6.2 Earthquake Rattles Turkish Office, Cupboard Collapses
Last Updated: A 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit western Turkey, toppling furniture in an office. No casualties reported. AFAD confirmed the quake near Istanbul and Sindirgi. A newly surfaced video from Turkey captures the tense moments when a recent earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck western Turkey on Sunday, struck, sending furniture toppling inside an office. The footage shows a woman quickly ducking under her desk as the tremors intensify. Seconds later, a cupboard in the background crashes to the floor, scattering its contents across the room. Early reports from Reuters, AFP and BNO News indicated damage in affected areas, though no immediate casualties have been confirmed. The Turkish disaster management agency, AFAD, said the quake occurred around 7:53 pm local time in Balikesir province, near Istanbul, the country's largest city. AFAD also reported a depth of 11 km (6.8 miles) for the tremor, while GFZ registered the magnitude at 6.19 and a depth of 10 km. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya posted on X that AFAD emergency teams had launched inspections across Istanbul and nearby provinces, adding that no reports of casualties or damage had been received so far. Saturday's earthquake was reportedly felt in multiple cities across western Turkey, including Istanbul and the popular tourist destination of Izmir. Turkey experienced one of its deadliest earthquakes in February 2023 when a magnitude 7.8 tremor struck southeastern regions. The disaster claimed tens of thousands of lives, injured many more and caused widespread destruction across multiple provinces. The 2023 earthquake was followed by a series of aftershocks, worsening the destruction and hindering rescue operations. It stands as one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent Turkish history, triggering a massive emergency response and drawing international assistance. Located on multiple active fault lines, the country remains highly susceptible to frequent seismic events. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
