Brazil: Tens of Thousands Continue to Rally Nationwide 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests are continuing in Brazil after more than a million people
marched in historic demonstrations last week. Tens of thousands took to
the streets across Brazil over the weekend as part of a sweeping
nationwide movement against government corruption, inequality, failing
public services, police brutality and government spending on the 2014
World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Brazil is currently hosting the
Confederations Cup soccer tournament, seen as a precursor to the World
Cup.
