A bitter presidential election, a close result, and social media conspiracies about the Brazilian general election being rigged all appear to be factors behind the riots in Brazil's capital.

Many have compared the attempt to overthrow the government of recently-elected President Lula Da Silva in Brasilia with what happened in Washington on January 6 2021 - when followers of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building.

Newsnight’s Joe Inwood looks at the reasons behind this.
