Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'
Sonia Guajajara rose from poverty to become one of Brazil's most formidable politicians. She talks about battling farmers, miners and land grabbers - and why technology is not the answer to the climate crisis.
Just days after a groundbreaking supreme court victory, Sonia Guajajara, Brazil's first minister for Indigenous peoples, has a new target in her sights.
She is preparing to oppose efforts in the Brazilian parliament, backed by the agricultural business lobby, to reinstate the controversial "time limit" ("marco temporal"). This legal doctrine established restrictions for Indigenous land claims, and so favoured farmers, miners and land grabbers. The decision to abolish the time limit bolstered the Indigenous campaign for land rights in Brazil and Latin America.
But opposition quickly escalated, with senate committee members hastening discussions to re-establish the doctrine in law.
If that happens, it would mean Indigenous communities will only be able to claim rights to lands occupied or requested as of 5 October 1988.

Sunak government will go down in history as failing UK on climate, Greenpeace says. Areeba Hamid and Will McCallum
Joint chiefs of charity, Areeba Hamid and Will McCallum, accuse ministers of pursuing culture wars as extreme weather becomes the norm.
Rishi Sunak’s government will “go down in history” as the administration that failed the UK on the climate crisis while ministers pursued a dangerous culture war, the heads of Greenpeace have said.
The organisation’s joint executive directors, Areeba Hamid and Will McCallum, described government briefings against the organisation in the wake of its oil protest at the prime minister’s Yorkshire home as “really dark stuff”, which revealed a worrying trend towards exploiting environmental protests as a wedge issue.

'A huge heart': the insatiable activism of Zimbabwean exile Patson Muzuwa
After agitating against Robert Mugabe in Harare in the late 90s, Patson Muzuwa fled to the UK. He continued the fight from afar, and became a tireless torchbearer for those he had to leave behind.
Patson Muzuwa has lived at least 10 lives. As a young man in Zimbabwe, he became a member of the main opposition party to President Robert Mugabe's autocratic rule and found himself hounded by security forces. After he resettled in the UK, he became a key part of the Zimbabwean community, organising resistance to Mugabe from abroad. Meanwhile, his personal life has veered between extraordinary highs and lows, and with his charm he has left a mark on almost everyone he has met. His story is a poignant reminder of the pain of political exile from your home country, and the challenges that face asylum seekers in the UK, even after they have been granted leave to stay.
Zimbabwean union activist Patson Muzuwa who fled to Britain in 2001 after being beaten and tortured by police and armed militia.
In poor health, he has indefinite leave to remain in the UK and is living in care home in County Durham, UK.

'A huge heart': the insatiable activism of Zimbabwean exile Patson Muzuwa
After agitating against Robert Mugabe in Harare in the late 90s, Patson Muzuwa fled to the UK. He continued the fight from afar, and became a tireless torchbearer for those he had to leave behind.
Patson Muzuwa has lived at least 10 lives. As a young man in Zimbabwe, he became a member of the main opposition party to President Robert Mugabe's autocratic rule and found himself hounded by security forces. After he resettled in the UK, he became a key part of the Zimbabwean community, organising resistance to Mugabe from abroad.

'A huge heart': the insatiable activism of Zimbabwean exile Patson Muzuwa
After agitating against Robert Mugabe in Harare in the late 90s, Patson Muzuwa fled to the UK. He continued the fight from afar, and became a tireless torchbearer for those he had to leave behind.
Patson Muzuwa has lived at least 10 lives. As a young man in Zimbabwe, he became a member of the main opposition party to President Robert Mugabe's autocratic rule and found himself hounded by security forces. After he resettled in the UK, he became a key part of the Zimbabwean community, organising resistance to Mugabe from abroad. Meanwhile, his personal life has veered between extraordinary highs and lows, and with his charm he has left a mark on almost everyone he has met. His story is a poignant reminder of the pain of political exile from your home country, and the challenges that face asylum seekers in the UK, even after they have been granted leave to stay.

Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips were killed in the Amazon ...
A year later their Indigenous allies risk death to carry on the work.
One year after the killings of Pereira and Phillips - which laid bare the environmental devastation inflicted under Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro - Indigenous leaders and non-Indigenous allies are intensifying their battle to protect the world's greatest rainforest and the Indigenous peoples who have lived there since long before European explorers arrived in the 16th century.
The activists are defiant in the face of the many dangers of confronting the environmental criminals and organised crime groups who have tightened their grip on the Amazon region.
