Even on the other side of the world, Prime Minister David Cameron was unable to escape speculation about possible threats to his position from London ...
Dr Black visited Brazil recently and toured the country lecturing on Bletchley Park and Alan Turing - 2012 being the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Turing.
Prime Minister David Cameron is visiting Brazil on Thursday on a trip to boost UK trade links with one of the world's fastest growing economies. Mr...
Brazil football legend Ronaldo was on hand to announce that the 2014 World Cup mascot will be an armadillo, but the benign mammal's name is yet to be ...
With the enormous success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the pressure is very much on Brazil to deliver something that surpasses London's performance as host, or at the very least, equals it.
Lackluster, inconsistent play in a recent 1-0 friendly win over South Africa and an 8-0 romp over a hapless Chinese squad reminded fans why Brazil's b...
I believe it is likely that a majority of fans will be consuming the Rio Olympic coverage on their phones. If you remember how the BBC Olympic app worked, allowing sports fans to select news about their team only or even a particular athlete - now overlay this with the ability to get a live feed from all sports all the time and that is probably what normal will look like in 2016.
Well I am off to Brazil in a few days to prepare the trail for this year's UVU Jungle Marathon. Always a hugely exhausting few weeks as the Brazilians in the Amazon region do tend to have the "never-do-today-what-you-can-put-off-until-next-week" syndrome. It's hard to motivate them and often frustrating.
Hey! Pedestrians! Don't you just hate it when a selfish, self-centred driver fails to observe the road markings at a clearly designated crossing point...
Three people living together in a polygamous union must be allowed to have family rights and a formalised civil union, a Brazilian notary has argued. ...

This year’s Notting Hill Carnival looks set to dance to a Brazilian beat, thanks to Olympic links between London and Rio, which will stage the next ...
It's been a very exciting and emotional two weeks cheering on the Olympians, but the highlight for me was Cameron leaving a legacy of London 2012 beyond even our exceptional haul of medals by hosting a global hunger event bringing together sportspeople and senior politicians from Brazil, Kenya, Bangladesh and India. When he could have been celebrating his twin gold medals elsewhere, instead the Somalia-born Mo Farah was running up a temporary race track outside Number 10 Downing Street to angle his spotlight towards global hunger.
Something strange is happening in the world of sport. The all consuming monoculture of football appears to be losing it tyranical hold over the backpages
Seb Coe hailed the London 2012 Olympics a big success today and said thank you during the nation's final farewell to the Games. Speaking with great...
Garth Crooks, one of the most derided football analysts on television, outdid himself again on Tuesday night when he hailed the 4-2-1-3-1 formation du...
There is little doubt that the current financial recession affecting so many parts of the world has contributed to a major shift in the global creative landscapes and fashion consumption habits. The leading roles played by North-American and European economies has, over the last four years, slowly been replaced by hitherto secondary characters performed by nations such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, where the emergence of relatively stable economies has allowed for the establishment of a new world order. Slowly, countries such as Italy, France or the United States have lost their key positions as leaders in the fashion and textile and footwear production arenas, having lost their reputation as qualitative producers to be seen mostly as quantitative consumers.
One of the best parts of being a slow runner is that when I started taking part in races, I had an abundance of sexy lycra clad bottoms running in fro...
No European team has won the World Cup on South American soil. Argentina and Brazil tend to enjoy home advantage and Brazil will certainly hope to take advantage come 2014.
Tonight's Opening Ceremony for the London Olympics will undoubtedly bring wry smiles and pangs of melancholy to those attending. Though there is another part of the capital which will do just as much. In fact it's already at it.
And if it is Team GB's fate to depart early from its first Olympic football competition for several decades, then surely we should have done so being led by Beckham, who did so much to make it all possible, and certainly with representatives from across the UK.
What is it about being British? We go and invent all the best sports in the world and then give great sportsmen like Andy Murray a hard time about whether he is more Scottish or more British - or ever going to win at Wimbledon.
Britain has one of the most sedentary populations on earth, with almost twice the proportion of people defined as "inactive" as in neighbouring France...
Even public displays of affection can't sway the eminent coolness of the Obamas, as proved when the American President and the First Lady were caught ...
