Summary

Police in Brazil say they've indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro — along with three dozen others — for allegedly planning a coup to keep Bolsonaro in power in 2022. Also, Albania will transform an Islamic Sufi order into a sovereign state.

And, the Cambridge Dictionary's English word of the year is "manifest." But what about words of the year in other languages?
