Eder Militao is set for a spell on the sidelines after he sustained an adductor injury while on duty for Brazil. Militao was forced off after an hour on Tuesday, as Brazil drew 1-1 with Tunisia in a friendly in Lille. Carlo Ancelotti did not explain what the defender's issue was, but Real Madrid have now confirmed Militao has suffered an adductor issue, and he is a doubt for Sunday's LaLiga clash with Elche.
Brazil's environment minister, Marina Silva, has urged all countries to have the courage to address the need for a fossil fuel phaseout, calling the drawing up of a roadmap for it an ethical response to the climate crisis.

We have to face a lot of contractions at this Cop, she told me. The biggest one, she said, is the exploitation of resources taking place to make the conference happen. Brazil wants to be considered a global climate leader but they just do this to show off. It's just discourse, she said. They cannot do that while opening new oil exploration. For us, doing this Cop in the most sensitive zone in the Atlantic is even worse.
The campaign involves two components: A self-propagating malware referred to as SORVEPOTEL that's spread via the desktop web version of WhatsApp and is used to deliver a ZIP archive containing the Maverick payload.

A new report from the nonprofit Coffee Watch says that modern coffee production in Brazil continues to be a significant driver of deforestation, with hundreds of thousands of hectares of native forest cleared inside coffee farm boundaries since 2001. Beyond the global implications for biodiversity and climate change, the continued loss of forest in key coffee regions presents economic threats to the Brazilian coffee sector, driving a cycle of drought and yield volatility, according to the report.
In a room full of coffee roasters last week, longtime green coffee trader Mark Inman asked for a show of hands. How many people started buying green coffee professionally within the past few years? Approximately half the room raised a hand, to which Inman replied, "I'm sorry. I apologize. It does get better, trust me, but you're going to come out of the other end of this time with more knowledge than people who have been buying green coffee for 15, 20 years."
Customers at a supermarket on Avenida Rua Bolivar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are positively surprised at the price changes they've been experiencing over the past few weeks, as they are now paying significantly less for coffee and meat, for example.

Her experience is not anecdotal, but rather echoed by a recent survey from Brazil's Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socio-Economic Studies (DIEESE)

The proceedings before Brazil's Supreme Court begin on September 2, and are due to continue until September 12.
