June 24 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday urged the European Union and the Mercosur to set aside arrogance and negotiate the long-awaited trade agreement between the blocs with common sense. "It's important to remember that we need the EU and they need us very much. So it's important that we put a little bit of arrogance aside and we try to use common sense for us to negotiate. The clause was agreed upon by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to speed up the deal. The agreement was struck in 2019 after lengthy negotiations but was then put on hold largely due to European concerns over Amazon deforestation.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Brazilian politician Roberto Jefferson fired at police while resisting arrest ordered by the country's Supreme Court on Sunday for offending a justice, federal police said in a statement. Federal police said two officers were injured by shrapnel of a grenade thrown by the former congressman. Both went to the hospital and were later released, the statement said. Two opposition senators, Randolfe Rodrigues and Eliziane Gama had asked the Supreme Court to punish Jefferson for offending Lucia. Bolsonaro, who tried to distance himself from Jefferson, tweeted that he "condemns the statements against minister Carmem Lucia and armed resistance against the federal police".
