Lula returns for third term and vows to rebuild, reunify Brazil

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office on Sunday for a third term as Brazil’s president, vowing to fight for the poor and the environment and “rebuild the country” after far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro’s divisive administration.

An emotional Lula broke down in tears, thanking the Brazilian people for their faith in him and vowing to fight for a more just country. Bolsonaro, who has not explicitly acknowledged his loss or congratulated Lula, left Brazil for the US state of Florida on Friday. French President Emmanuel Macron, who did not attend, posted on Twitter a photo of himself with Lula, saying “Order and Progress” -- the words which adorn the Brazilian flag.

Ironically, Liverpool’s reward for seeing off Wolves is a return trip to Brighton in the fourth round. – Tenacious Liverpool –Sa was caught too far off his line but that should not detract from the quality of Elliott’s first goal since October. Gakpo was still searching for his first Liverpool goal in his third appearance since signing from PSV Eindhoven.
