CCTV clip of Brazil robbery falsely linked to Burmese anti-junta fighters
The video of an armed robber stealing a mobile phone and fleeing the scene before being shot by another man has gained 38,000 views after it was shared on Facebook on May 13. "Said it happened in North Dagon. I am not sure if that's true but they said a PDF saved a foreigner," reads the Burmese-language caption, referring to the People's Defence Force, which was formed after a 2021 coup that has led to four years of conflict, spurring mass displacement and poverty (archived link). Image Screenshot of false Facebook post taken on May 20, 2025 A devastating earthquake that struck in March killed 3,800 people and worsened the humanitarian situation, while the junta has continued to strike civilian targets despite a purported ceasefire to help the country recover from the disaster (archived links here and here). Similar posts claiming the video of the robbery was shot in Myanmar also emerged on Facebook. However, a reverse image search on Google using keyframes from the video found the incident took place in Brazil. Broadcaster CNN Brasil published an uncropped version of the video in a report on March 4 (archived link). The report's headline reads: "Video: student is robbed as he leaves the gym and off-duty police officer retaliates."

A search of the location on Google Maps found a geotagged image of the exterior of the Junkyard Gym, which shows elements matching those seen in the CCTV footage of the robbery (archived link).

Brazil Offers to Mediate in Ukraine War
Israa Farhan Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has offered to mediate the ongoing war in Ukraine, expressing Brazil's willingness to act as a diplomatic bridge between Moscow and Kyiv. The offer came during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on May 9, according to a report by CNN Brasil. Lula's proposal is part of Brazil's broader push to position itself as a neutral global player capable of supporting international peace efforts. Speaking at a press conference after his visit to Russia, Lula revealed that he discussed the Ukraine conflict with Putin before, during, and after their official talks. He stressed that Brazil is prepared to cooperate with China and other nations to help narrow the divide between the warring sides, should both Russia and Ukraine demonstrate genuine interest in constructive negotiations. This diplomatic move comes amid growing frustration over stalled ceasefire attempts and increasing battlefield escalation. It also highlights Brazil's growing role in advocating alternative solutions outside of Western-led frameworks. Brazilian newspaper O Globo previously reported that Lula's administration is motivated to step in due to what it sees as the failure of US-led diplomatic initiatives. According to the report, there is a growing belief within Brazil that the White House has fallen short of its commitments to end the conflict. The Brazilian government reportedly views Russia as more open to peace talks than the European Union or Ukrainian authorities. Celso Amorim, President Lula's senior adviser, has referenced the joint Brazil-China peace initiative and reaffirmed Lula's intention to act as a peace envoy during his May visit to Moscow. This initiative seeks to revive global momentum toward a political solution to a war that has dragged on for more than two years. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War

Girl, 13, dies just days after brother, 7, killed by ‘poisoned Easter eggs'
Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, is accused of sending the spiked treats in a suspected act of 'revenge and jealousy' against her ex-partner's new girlfriend - whose two young children died as a result A 13-year-old girl has died just days after her seven-year-old brother - after both children ate chocolate Easter eggs believed to have been laced with a deadly substance. The alleged posioning led to the arrest of Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, who is accused of sending the spiked treats in a suspected act of "revenge and jealousy" against her ex-partner's new girlfriend. The eggs were delivered to 32-year-old Mirian Lira in Brazil last Wednesday, who unknowingly shared them with her two children. Her seven-year-old son, Luis Fernando Rocha Silva, fell seriously ill within minutes and later died at Imperatriz City Hospital. But now with the death of his sister, what at first appeared to be a kind festive gesture has instead sparked a harrowing murder probe. Mirian and her thirteen-year-old daughter Evelyn were also rushed to hospital after consuming the chocolate and falling ill. Tragically, Evelyn died on Monday at Brazil's Imperatriz Municipal Hospital, CNN Brasil reports. According to the hospital, Evelyn's death was caused by a vascular shock linked to organ failure. "Unfortunately, the clinical condition showed serious and rapid deterioration without responding to treatment," Imperatriz Municipal Hospital said in a statement. Days earlier, a courier on a motorbrike arrived at the property with the poisioned treats, along with a note reading: "With love, to Mirian Lira. Happy Easter." Evelyn's mum Mirian had also reportedly received an anonymous call after the chocolate eggs had been delivered, asking if the package had arrived. Police in Brazil have since taken samples of the chocolate away for forensic testing to confirm whether they had been laced with a toxic substance. Jordélia was arrested on suspicion of murder whilst taking a bus to her home town of Santa Ines following a hotel stay 200 miles away in Imperatiz, where the victims' family lives. Officers reportedly found receipts linked to Jordélia's purchase of the deadly easter eggs, and spoke to her ex-partner, prompting them to investigate her involvement in the youngsters' deaths. Police also released CCTV footage they said showed Jordélia wearing a black wig and sunglasses to disguise herself whilst buying Easter eggs at a local store. In the clip, she can be seen handing the box of luxury eggs to a cashier before rummaging through her bag to find a card to pay with. In a statement given at the Santa Inês Regional Police Station, Jordélia reportedly confessed to buying the chocolate but denied lcaing the Easter treat with poison. According to the Court of Justice of Maranhão, the case must now be transferred to the Criminal Court of Imperatriz, where the events took place. The incident comes after a woman in Brazil was accused of fatally poisoning three of her in-laws with an arsenic-laced Christmas cake in December last year - and was then found dead in her prison cell in February. Deise Moura dos Anjos was discovered during a daily check on inmates at a women's penitentiary. According to officials, she died from "self-inflicted mechanical asphyxiation". Cops were also investigating if she was responsible for the earlier death of her father-in-law, Paulo Luiz dos Anjos - who died from an intestinal infection in September 2024 after consuming bananas and powdered milk brought to his house by Dos Anjos. His body was later exhumed and tests confirmed he had ingested arsenic. In July 2023, a woman from Australia was charged with triple murder after being accused of poisoning her ex-husband's family. Patterson, 50, had invited her ex-husband's parents, Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, for lunch at her house in Leongatha, Australia, alongside Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, and Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, 68, on July 29, 2023. According to authorities, Erin served a beef Wellington that is believed to have contained poisonous mushrooms, tragically leaving her ex's family members dead. She denied any wrongdoing, telling Associated Press: "I'm devastated. I loved them. I can't believe that this has happened and I'm so sorry."
