Young, black and more likely to die in Brazil – BBC News
In Brazil, thousands of people are killed by the police every year.
Together with a local NGO, the Brazilian Forum of Public Safety, BBC Brazil investigation set out to uncover who is most at risk of lethal police violence there.
After examining more than 1200 profiles of those killed in 2020, it found that in Rio de Janeiro state alone, 75% of all those who died were black Brazilians.
Both Ana-Paula Rocha and Rafaela Coutinho Matos lost their sons in incidents involving the police. They’ve told the BBC their stories.
In both cases, the authorities have confirmed that no one has been arrested but that an investigation is on-going.

The Houthis in Yemen have attacked the presidential palace in the port city of Aden – the seat of the internationally-recognised government.
Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian has told Iranians that the country is facing its most intense blockade since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and has accused the US of seeking to provoke public protests.
The Saudi-led military coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it has intercepted a missile in the Medina region. The Houthis have threatened more attacks on Saudi Arabia but have denied carrying out this one.
Finally, according to reports, the US is considering using its biggest non-nuclear bomb against Iran if President Donald Trump should decide to renew combat in the war that has hit a deadlock.

Heavy fighting has been taking place in Yemen, as pro-government forces take on the country’s Houthi rebels, whose recent attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia have seized the world’s attention.
Yemen’s long civil war has become impossible to ignore, as the latest attacks by the Houthis, who are funded by Iran, play into the wider conflicts in the Middle East.
The Houthis took control of Yemen’s capital in 2014, ousting the country’s internationally-recognised government. A year later a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states intervened, trying to dislodge the Houthis. Despite years of devastating air strikes, that hasn’t worked.
Now Yemen’s Houthi fighters – already a threat to global shipping with attacks in the Red Sea – are an increasing threat to Saudi Arabia. And they provide leverage for their backers in Iran, Saudi’s regional rival.
The BBC has been given rare access to Yemen and the latest desert battlefields.

Australian MP Helen Haines has been taken to hospital with “critical injuries” after she was hit by a car near her regional office in Wangaratta, Victoria, police have said.
“This wasn’t an accident – there was a deliberate act, it would appear,” said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Police have said they’re investigating whether it was “intentional” and a 43-year-old man, from nearby Tarrawingee, was arrested at the scene by a passer-by.

Percentage less white peoples means less white deaths. Or poor to rich ratio. Poorer people are more likely to be caught up in crime.

A couple of years ago I was going to meet a girl in another part of Rio so I took an Uber from where I was staying in Barra. The driver went through the tolls and apparently they had an "operation" going on (police checkpoint). Me being on vacation and oblivious, I dropped my phone in the car, reached down to get it and all of a sudden I heard shouting in Portuguese. The driver wasn't saying anything but had stopped the car. Then I noticed a police coming towards the car with his rifle pointed at us. He yelled to get out the car. Though I understand/speak Portuguese I was said (in English) "I don't understand, I don't understand. I'm Americano. What happened?"
Turns out he saw me reach down and thought I was reaching for something (a gun I perhaps?) I showed him my ID and he finally let me go with these parting words – "Cuidado cara. Aqui é Rio de Janeiro" (Be careful man, this is Rio). That was pretty much my only bad encounter after more than 20 years of going there so I can't complain. However, I did think… what would have happened if I was Brazilian and not American?

I really do feel like the authorities don't investigate on the murders of these victims because where they live. More likely it's the police killing these children. Racism is everywhere. Even in the city of god.
