Brazil: Eduardo Cunha Faces Possible Arrest After House Expulsion
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, former Speaker Eduardo Cunha, who led the impeachment of
former President Dilma Rousseff, is facing possible arrest on charges of
perjury and corruption, after he was expelled from the lower house
Monday. Cunha's charges stem from his secret Swiss bank accounts, which
he's lied about. His expulsion strips him of his congressional immunity.
Meanwhile, Brazil has ratified the Paris climate deal. Brazil is
responsible for emitting about 2.5 percent of global greenhouse gas
emissions.
