Flvio Bolsonaro, the far-right politician who lost Brazil's presidential election last month, has insisted his defeat is not "the end for Brazil" as he battles to maintain political relevance after fleeing to the US.

On Thursday night Bolsonaro made his first major public appearance since arriving in the US, speaking at a rightwing gathering at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property where he claimed "great things" were still to come.
