January 9, 2023: Brazil probes riots, Ukraine-Russia war, Biden visits U.S.-Mexico border, China, California

1. Brazilian police deployed at a camp of supporters of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro in the capital, a day after rioters launched the worst attack on Brazil's state institutions since its return to democracy in the 1980s.

2. Ukraine said it was strengthening its forces around Bakhmut in the eastern Donbas region and repelling constant attacks there by Russian mercenary group Wagner, whose leader has vowed to capture the area's vast underground mines.

3. President Joe Biden visited the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since taking office, tackling one of the most politically charged issues in the country as he prepares for a re-election bid.

4. People joined long queues outside immigration offices in Beijing, eager to renew their passports after China dropped COVID border controls that had largely prevented its 1.4 billion residents from traveling for three years.

5. California braced for more severe weather after a week of torrential downpours and damaging winds killed at least 12 people in the past 10 days and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.
