Indigenous groups chant as they deliver a letter to the president of COP30, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, and hold up a banner saying, the answer is us. COP30 will be held in the Brazilian Amazon this year, and indigenous groups want to have a say in climate policies. Thousands gathered at the yearly free land camp in Brasília, urging authorities to move away from fossil fuels.

We're striving for Indigenous people to have protagonism and be part of the solution at COP30, said Brazil's Minister for Indigenous Peoples, Sonia Guajajara. To think of the future is to act now, she said. For NPR News, I'm Julia Carneiro in Rio.

Kids are returning to school, but cell phones aren't. Electronic devices will have to be put away during school hours, including breaks. This, according to a new law in Brazil, signed in January. Now it's up to schools to decide how to enforce the ban. Some are providing lockers to put away phones, others creating penalties for those who disobey the rule. And kids are complaining on social media.

Electronic devices may only be used for class activities if students have disabilities or in exceptional circumstances. The Ministry of Education says this is meant to protect students' mental, physical and psychological development. A UNESCO report says nearly one in every four countries have restricted the use of cell phones in schools. For NPR News, I'm Julia Carneiro in Rio.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is recovering in intensive care after facing emergency surgery to drain blood from his brain. The city Lebanese hospital in São Paulo says the operation was uneventful. In a press conference, his doctor said Lula was stable and conversational and would have no after-effects from the bleeding.

On Monday evening, Lula went to a hospital in Brasília complaining of a headache and fatigue. An MRI scan revealed intracranial hemorrhage, and he was rushed to Sao Paulo for surgery. Doctors say this was triggered when Lula fell and hit the back of his head in the bathroom in October. Mr. Lula, founder of the Workers' Party, is 79 and is in the middle of his third mandate.

The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is primarily caused by humans burning oil, coal, and gas. Scientists link more intense heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding to global warming. Under President Biden, the Department of Energy has pushed to move the U.S. economy towards less polluting energy sources like solar, wind, and large-scale batteries.
