US singer Chris Brown has avoided jail after striking a man twice in the head with a glass tequila bottle in a London nightclub.

The R&B star was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, over the attack at private members’ club Tape in Mayfair, in the early hours of 19 February 2023.

Brown’s vocal coach, rapper Omololu Akinlolu, who joined the attack, was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. Both men, who had pleaded guilty to affray, were also ordered to pay £1,500 costs.

Bolsonaro told reporters on Sunday that the “time has come for real change”, while Lula was pictured greeting supporters outside a polling station.
