1 dead, Supreme Court evacuated as explosions rattle Brazilian capital
Brazil’s Supreme Court was evacuated after two nearby explosions on Wednesday night that left one dead in a square near Congress and the presidential palace, police said, stirring security concerns shortly before the country hosts the G20 summit.
The blasts come five days before global leaders from the Group of 20 major economies meet in Rio de Janeiro, followed by a state visit to Brasília by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The first explosion came on Wednesday in a parking lot near the court building. The Supreme Court justices had just ended a plenary session and were quickly evacuated safely, the court said in a statement.

Federal police said they had deployed a bomb squad to the square in the heart of the Brazilian capital to investigate the blasts. The country’s solicitor general on social media described the explosions an «attack».

A police officer told local television that the dead man found in the square had an explosive device on him, so his body would be carefully inspected in case of another explosion.
The explosions were heard around the Plaza of the Three Powers, an iconic square in Brasília connecting the principal buildings of Brazil’s three branches of federal government.
It was the scene of riots on Jan. 8 last year when supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro ransacked the buildings to protest his electoral defeat.

An environmental group has advised the Welsh government to create dog-free zones in an effort to make the outdoors less racist and more inclusive.
A report by the Climate Cymru BAME identified a series of proposals, including the creation of «dog-free areas in local green spaces.»
The reason for the suggestion wasn’t disclosed in the report, which will be used by the Welsh government to «support policy teams» who are «developing and implementing» anti-racist plans for Wales,» The Telegraph reported.

«We are committed to creating an anti-racist nation by 2030. Our Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan is built on the values of anti-racism and calls for zero tolerance of all racial inequality,» a government spokesman told the publication.
The report was part of an assessment of «racism relating to climate change, environment and rural affairs» to steer how green spaces can be made to align with the Labour Party’s 2022 Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan, according to the newspaper.
Welsh government officials concluded that ethnic minorities face «barriers» to the outdoors created by «exclusions and racism.»
In addition, barriers to outdoor activities include the perception that growing food in gardens or allotments is an activity «dominated by middle-aged white women.»

Other recommendations submitted by the North Wales Africa Society said «dog-free areas» should be created, citing focus groups in which «one black African female stated that she feels unsafe with the presence of dogs.»
One person reportedly said that «the green spaces are not respected in areas where there is a bigger population of ethnic minority people.»
Other issues voiced were a lack of access to public transportation to non-urban green spaces and poor air quality in towns and cities.
