Brazil recently hosted the COP30 climate summit in Belém, with major focus on climate action, indigenous participation, and the Amazon's role in global climate regulation. The summit saw calls for accelerated efforts against climate denial, but key emitters like the US, China, and India sent no high-level representatives. Separately, a tornado struck Paraná state, killing six and injuring hundreds. In sports, Oscar Piastri qualified third for the F1 sprint in São Paulo, with Lando Norris taking pole.
