Insurrectionists have left a sea of destruction at the Brazilian senate after storming the government buildings in a bid to overturn the election and force the military to hand back power to the defeated Jair Bolsonaro.The hallowed seats of power in Brasilia are bearing the scars of the unprecedented violence that broke out yesterday, with shards of glass, blood stains, furniture, government computers and files lying strewn across Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court.Investigators are trying to pick up the pieces and comb for evidence in the hours after thousands of right-wing rioters broke through police cordons to smash up the government buildings, destroying artwork, stealing the 1988 Constitution and seizing guns from a security office.
