Zoom became a meeting hub for everything from christenings to funerals. Despite this being ostensibly positive, the transition to the digital age presented a host of challenges for those connecting in real time via webcam. And although many of us have returned to the office and receptions are generally open, the act of slipping down and being caught on camera has ingrained through the internet. MailOnline has compiled a collection of the most memorable moments people have been caught online, from baring all on a funeral Zoom livestream to being naked during a live broadcast.

With the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years, the Chega chief, a former trainee priest who later became a tough-talking football commentator, disrupted what had long been a two-horse election in Portugal, with the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years. The Social Democrat-led Democratic Alliance (AD) won only by a slim margin, and is now poised to rule without a majority if it is not included in government. "One thing is for certain tonight, the two-party system in Portugal is finished," Ventura said on Sunday, adding that his party is "at ease to be part of a government." Chega became the third biggest party in the 230-seat National Assembly, quadrupling its parliamentary representation to 48 lawmakers, implying that the AD, which will gain just 79 seats, will only be allowed to pass laws with far-right support.

Brueckner, 47, appeared in court in Brunswick, Germany, earlier today to face a slew of sex harassment charges - his first public appearance in four years.

Lay judges assist in deliberations and determining sentences, collaborating with regular judges in trials, participating in deliberations and assisting in delivering verdicts and determining sentences.

Anitta, a Brazilian singer, rose from one of Rio's poorest communities to international prominence

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 3, 2023
When Anitta's parents were told that she would not make it as a celebrity, it did not put her aspiration and drive even further. The artist, now 30, has made a worldwide success in recent years, debuting with some of the world's top musicians, collaborating with some of the world's top artists, and winning a slew of awards and accolades along the way, but she had to overcome a lot to get where she is today. Anitta was born in one of Rio de Janeiro's poorest communities, and she was warned early on that her ambition of becoming a well-known singer was not going to be achieved very quickly. However, the singers' passion and drive to make a better life for herself was so overwhelming that she promised she'd do whatever it took to succeed. And when she became involved in a dating relationship at the age of 14, she found it difficult to say to those who warned her that she'd never make it - including her own family. The tenacious teen, who real name is Larissa de Macedo Machado, recruited tutors to teach her English and employed a speech therapist to help minimize her accent so she can be considered seriously by executives. She will perform at local bars and events, as well as book herself flights to the United States, where she will spend days networking and marketing herself. She started recording herself performing and posting them on YouTube, where she eventually caught the attention of a well-known Brazilian producer. He then helped her land a lucrative deal with Warner Music Group Brazil, which is the bulk of history. FEMAIL moved ahead and recapped her amazing journey from start to finish as Anitta continues her fight.

Anitta was born in Brazil but that does not mean she modeled bikinis while sipping Caipirinhas on the beach of Rio de Janeiro as a child. Rather, the 30-year-old actress, who was born Larissa de Macedo Machado, grew up far from the shore in the ghetto. However, Harper's Bazaar's June/July'23 Freedom Issue has informed her that all the hardships have shaped her into what she is today. 'You are born in a world where all you have access to is guns, crime, and sex,' she wrote about last week. If we are not even close [enough] to seeing the magnificent paradise in Rio we can sing about it." I'm not saying, "Oh, it's so nice to commit a crime." No. I'm just saying that you gave these people no opportunities to choose other stuff.'
