São Paulo, Brazil Demonstrators block the main streets of the city during protests against President Michel Temer. Earlier this week, Temer became the first president in history to be formally charged with a crime by the attorney general. Based on secretly recorded phone conversations and testimonies, he is accused of taking bribes and trying to obstruct justice by arranging hush-money payoffs to the jailed former head of the lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha.
