The Supreme Court in Brazil has unanimously decided that former president Jair Bolsonaro should stand trial accused of plotting a coup against his successor Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, the US has deported 238 supposed Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, and armed criminal gangs in Haiti are reported to be close to taking control of the capital Port au Prince.
