Brazil's President Michel Temer has been accused of pressuring a cabinet minister to engage in corrupt practices.
Former Culture Minister Marcelo Calero said Mr Temer asked him to help another minister in a personal business deal.

Mr Calero, who resigned last week, had previously blocked the plans. President Temer has denied the allegations. 
However, he admitted talking to Mr Calero about the project. The president has vowed to clean up corruption in Brazil, but has lost three ministers to corruption allegations.
