Supreme Court judges in Brazil are debating how to proceed with a key indigenous land rights ruling after one justice asked for more time. The court has been asked to rule on whether a reservation in the Amazonian state of Roraima can remain a single unbroken territory. Indian leaders in Brazil say the case could set a crucial precedent for the protection of their ancestral lands. But rice farmers say they could be forced to leave the area if the court upholds its status as an official reservation, given in 2005. (BBC)
