Brazil: Supporters rally as Lula refuses to surrender to police 2018-04-07 07:26 Demonstrators rallied in support of former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva outside of the Metalworkers' Union HQ in the Sao Bernardo do Campo area of Sao Paulo on Friday, following the former leader's refusal to surrender to the federal police. Protesters carried banners reading 'Never arrest Lula' as they chanted and listened to speakers such as President of Brazil's National Worker's Party Gleisi Hoffmann, who thanked the supporters on Lula's behalf. «This union has already faced very great struggles and it is in this union that President Lula chose to stay today, together with the people, along with militancy, along with the social movements, together with the trade union movement», she said. Lula refused leave the ABC Steelworkers Union building in Sao Bernardo do Campo despite the Supreme Court's earlier ruling that the 72-year-old must turn himself into the authorities. Police have said they do not want to arrest him at the union hall, which is heaving with demonstrators. The former president was sentenced to a 12-year jail term for corruption and money laundering in a corruption case known as Operation Car Wash. He was convicted of receiving bribes.

One demonstrator, Gregorio Mondaca, said «If Lula is free, he will be the president, if they kill Lula, he will be a martyr, but Lula is already a hero for all of us, Viva Lula.» The Supreme Court of Brazil confirmed that 72-year-old Lula will serve a prison sentence directly after the rejection of his first appeal by a vote of 6:5 and he has been ordered to hand himself into the authorities. Lula was sentenced to a 12-year jail term for corruption and money laundering in a case known as Operation Car Wash. He was convicted of receiving bribes. He now needs to overturn the ruling before Brazilian presidential candidates are officially announced in August as a conviction would sink his election ambitions, but he will remain in jail until such a ruling is confirmed.

Brazil: Lula's refusal for arrest sparks protests in Curitiba 2018-04-07 12:25 After former Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva refused to give himself in to the police, protests both against and in his favour erupted in Curitiba on Friday, where he was supposed to be jailed. In the city centre pro-Lula supporters and member of Lula's party, the Worker's Party (PT), staged a rally against the incarceration and in his favour, whilst opponents of Lula gathered in front of Curitiba's police HQ, where Lula was supposed to be detained. Lula defied Judge Sergio Moro’s order to report to prison on Friday afternoon in Curitiba, setting up a showdown with authorities and triggering demonstrations around the country both for and against him. Instead, Lula remained in his hometown of Sao Bernardo do Campo, in the Sao Paulo metropolitan area, allegedly in the headquarters of the steelworkers’ union. Lula was sentenced to a 12-year jail term for corruption and money laundering in a case known as Operation Car Wash. He was convicted of receiving bribes. He now needs to overturn the ruling before Brazilian presidential candidates are officially announced in August as a conviction would sink his election ambitions, but he will remain in jail until such a ruling is confirmed. Белый дом: Трамп добивается того, чтобы Россия «изменила поведение» 2018-04-07 12:45 МИД России в связи с санкциями выступил с заявлением, в котором пригрозил Соединенным Штатам «жестким ответом», и добавил, что «никакие меры давления не свернут Россию с избранного курса». Санкции, по мнению российского внешнеполитического ведомства, вредят самой Америке и являются симптомом «деградации демократии». Попавшие под санкции российские деятели также подвергли решение администрации Трампа критике. При этом, например, глава «Газпрома» Алексей Миллер счел включение в санкционные списки доказательством «правильности своих действий». Олег Дерипаска, ряд компаний которого внесен в санкционный список, назвал решение американских властей «плачевным» и при этом «необоснованным, смешным и абсурдным». Он заявил, что после Пасхи посоветуется с адвокатами и даст новые комментарии. США в пятницу ввели новые санкции в отношении 24 граждан России и 14 компаний. Среди тех, кто попал под ограничения, – крупные предприниматели Олег Дерипаска, Виктор Вексельберг, Сулейман Керимов, Игорь Ротенберг и Кирилл Шамалов, глава ВТБ Андрей Костин, глава «Газпрома» Алексей Миллер, секретарь Совета безопасности Николай Патрушев, глава Росгвардии Виктор Золотов, глава МВД России Владимир Колокольцев, глава Роскомнадзора Александр Жаров.

Виктории Скрипаль не дали визу, опасаясь, что она «пешка Кремля» 2018-04-07 13:00 Великобритания отказала в визе племяннице Сергея Скрипаля Виктории, предполагая, что Кремль использует ее как «пешку» в деле об отравлении бывшего агента ГРУ и его дочери Юлии в Солсбери. Об этом сообщает Русская служба Би-би-си со ссылкой на документ британского посольства в Москве, оказавшийся в распоряжении редакции. Виктория Скрипаль указала в визовой анкете, что целью для ее приезда в Британию является посещение родственников – однако в посольстве не располагают данными, что Сергей или Юлия Скрипаль приглашали ее в гости. Кроме того, племянница Скрипаля не смогла доказать, что у нее есть достаточно средств на проживание в Британии. В неофициальном комментарии для Би-би-си источник в британском правительстве сказал: «Если она попала под влияние Кремля или Кремль ее к чему-то принуждает, она тоже стала жертвой». Виктория Скрипаль сказала Би-би-си, что ожидала отказа в визе, но попробует подать документы еще раз. Ранее племянница Скрипаля сообщила, что говорила по телефону с Юлией Скрипаль. Та сказала ей, что идет на поправку, но отказала родственнице во встрече.

Пучдемон через Швецию и Данию доехал до Германии, где был задержан.
