  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Janet Jalil and in the early hours of Wednesday,

  • the 26th of November, these are our main stories.

  • Brazil's former president, Jair Bolsonaro, begins a 27-year prison sentence for a coup attempt.

  • Italy's parliament has unanimously voted to make Femmeside a standalone crime punishable by life imprisonment.

  • Also in this podcast,

  • a Pope mobile belonging to Pope Francis is transformed to help children in Gaza.

  • And he certainly was a spy.

  • He didn't like the word, but he worked in British intelligence.

  • We hear how the children's author, Roald Dahl, led a double life.

  • We start this podcast in Brazil, where just days after the former president, Jair Bolsonaro,

  • was moved from house arrest to a police cell for an alleged attempt to remove his ankle monitor,

  • he has now been ordered to begin serving a 27-year sentence by a Supreme Court judge.

  • The 70-year-old far-right leader was convicted in September of plotting a coup after he failed to win reelection three years ago.

  • Mr Boltonaro is serving his sentence at the same police headquarters in Brasilia where he was taken into custody on Saturday after a judge deemed him a flight risk.

  • He won't have contact with other prisoners, instead living in a small room with a private bathroom,

  • a television, air conditioning and a mini fridge.

  • A group of Boltonaro supporters gathered outside the police headquarters.

  • I'm absolutely outraged.
