<p>The G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro ended on Monday (Nov 18) with leaders failing to resolve key deadlocks in UN climate negotiations, as geopolitical tensions, particularly the war in Ukraine and Donald Trump's return to the US presidency, overshadowed discussions. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Climate commitments falter</strong></h2>

<p>Ahead of the summit, the UN had called on G20 nations to rescue stalled climate talks in Azerbaijan by pledging greater financial support to developing countries grappling with the devastating effects of global warming. However, there were no concrete commitments, as G20 members remained divided on who should pay.</p>

G20 summit ends in Rio with no progress on climate

<p>Brazil police Tuesday (Nov 19) detained four security personnel guarding the ongoing G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro in a case related to an alleged 2022 plot to assassinate then President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.</p>

<p>News agency AFP quoted Brazil police as saying that the four “were arrested in Rio, where they were participating in the security operation for the G20 leaders’ meeting.” A source told the news agency that a police officer was also detained.</p>

<p>All four suspects were “mostly soldiers with special forces training,” said Brazil’s police. However, they didn’t comment on how they ended up being part of the security team guarding the summit.</p>

<p>The Brazilian authorities are linking their arrest to an alleged “coup” aimed to prevent elected leader Lula from assuming the office. The operation was carried out to “dismantle a criminal organisation responsible for planning a coup d’etat to prevent the government legitimately elected in 2022 elections from taking office,” said a police source.</p>

<h2><strong>More details about alleged plot</strong></h2>

<p>The “coup” or “murder” plot was allegedly meant to be carried out on December 15, two weeks ahead of his official inauguration as the country’s president. The alleged plot involved “the murder of the candidates to the presidency and vice presidency,” the statement said.</p>

<p>The plot also involved a plan to assassinate a Supreme Court judge, it added.</p>
