The £70m farce that exposes rot at the heart of the Royal Navy

Britain spent £72m of taxpayers’ money refurbishing a Royal Navy warship before selling it to Brazil at a knockdown price.Labour axed HMS Bulwark in November last year, in the middle of a major upgrade programme, alongside sister ship HMS Albion.While the fate of Albion is unclear, Bulwark has been sold to Brazil, reportedly for about £20m in a fire sale, and is expected to head to the South American country next year.Critics branded the deal “a spectacular failure” that would leave taxpayers “a...

Brazil’s polarisation offers a warning to British voters

Somewhere along the line, though he cannot say exactly when, Leonardo Santos stopped trusting everything.He had grown up on the centre-Right. As a young man, he opened a small grocery in São Paulo’s Jardim Colombo favela, helped by the inflation-busting, pro-market reforms of Brazil’s Social Democrats, the PSDB – the closest thing Brazil has to Britain’s Conservatives.Staunchly anti-communist, Mr Santos saw the PSDB as the main bulwark against the dangerous ideas of the trade union movement and...

How a plot to kill Brazil’s president is tearing the country apart

The allegations that could keep Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s populist former president, behind bars for the rest of his life are astonishingly lurid – more telenovela than statecraft.After losing re-election in 2022 to his Left-wing nemesis Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, Mr Bolsonaro is accused of hatching a plot to poison his rival, assassinate leading figures on the Left and enlist the military in a coup.Judges are now circling Mr Bolsonaro ahead of a likely conviction that could send the 70-year-old...

Tão estimada no Japão, a alga wakame invade a Patagônia e se torna uma invasora

Em um mês na NHK, já sugeri minha primeira pauta, apostando nessa história curiosa que descobri. Falamos sobre o wakame, uma alga que faz parte do cotidiano japonês — café da manhã, almoço e jantar — e é uma espécie invasora na Argentina. Provavelmente levada sem querer por navios na década de 1980 e1990, ela se espalhou por mais mil quilômetros e hoje afeta o ecossistema local, principalmente tomando espaço de algas nativas.
