The News tell us about a big problem in Brazil: drugs. Brazilian police and troops say they have found a large haul of drugs after storming a major drug traffickers' stronghold in Rio de Janeiro.There are many trafficants in brazil, who sells illegal drugs, speacially in Rio. In the Complexo do Alemao, favela, was found more than 30 tonnes of Marijuana- as well as Cocaine.
2,600 police and paratroopers carried out an assault on the favela, and the gunfire were heard.
Things like tha happens very often in brazil, so we realize that in places like Brazil the government has to make something to stop with the traffic and violence. Security is the most important thing.
Sometimes we cant even trust in the police, because they can help us, but sometimes they can help the traffickers.

Brazil it’s celebrating more than acting

But with less than three years before the World Cup ,critics says that Brazil is not taking full advantage of hosting what is considered the world’s biggest sporting event.
The comments are clearly, they believe that the Brazilian government spent too much time celebrating before starting prepare the infrastructure, and now everybody wants to see this change, that will give to Brazil a possibility to receive the world and show their potential.

Who’s going to act over these constructions and make these improvements in infrastructure? The government will act before is too late?

World Cup: A Brazilian work in progress

The report basically says that if you are planning on watching the World Cup in Brazil, prepare to walk a lot. Because travelers are very dependent on air transport, which is relatively expensive, unreliable in some areas and limited to one flight per day between the various cities that they are far away from each other.
It is possible to realize that the news mocks the progress that Brazil is having, principal by the title, because it says that will be very difficult to travel in the country. So viewers will have to be prepared to face those problems daily.

What do you think it's going to happen to the transport in the World Cup? This actually are going to happen?

Original News: Click Here

Summary: A police commander and seven officers have been arrested for the killing of a judge. The Rio de Janeiro State police said that six of the officers were detained Tuesday; the other two were arrested earlier. The judge, Patricia Acioli, who was known for being tough on rogue police officers who turned to vigilantism and extorted money, was shot in August outside her house in Niterói.

Commentary: The author investigated the information using credible sources to expose the true story of the murder. Very interesting.
The news was very short, but it included everything important to build the report. Understanding the news was easy, as it was very well summarised and focuses on key points.

GRACILIANO ROCHA
OF SALVADOR

SUMMARY: The government of Bahia has decided to adopt daylight saving time after eight years. The decision was accepted after a study on light of day, by which the run rises from 25 to 35 minutes earlier between October 16 and February 26. This decision is very difficult for the population of Bahia, because there will be changes to their daily life and this difference in the clock makes life difficult for companies that do business with the rest of the country and cause trouble in banking, the stock Market or Exchange.

My opinion about this news is that if will be changes to the life style for the population of Bahia, I think it would be a mistake to accept the adoption of daylight saving time, because they are already accustomed with the normal hour and this adoption would harm their life.

- The Chapada Diamantina is located in the center of Bahia State. It contains an extraordinary variety of ecosystems, like Cerrado, Atlantic Florest and Caatinga, as well as a lot of caves, moutains and hills, waterfalls, etc. It is considered one of the most important tourist point in Brazil and South America, mainly due to the National Park administration that keeps looking after this place for many years very carefully.
- Preserving this kind of place and local population are most important for the history and culture of Brazil and its customs, because there are a lot of features of the Brazilian people and the animals and vegetation.

The finance minister, Guido Mantega said Brazil assesses the crisis as "chronic" and fears that come to stage "acute", affecting dynamic emerging economies such as China.

The American Actress Daryl Hannah in Brazil for SWU

The American actress Daryl Hannah known for his involvement in environmental causes, confirmed on Monday their participation in the Global Forum on Sustainability SWU, to be held in November in the city of Paulinia in Brazil.
The forum will be part of music and arts festival SWU, which reaches its second edition in 2011 and promotes awareness for the environment.
In 2006, Hannah founded the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance (SBA), an institution that issues a certificate of approval to informal biodiesel producers committed to sustainability.
In last August, the actress was arrested while protesting in front of the White House, against the construction of the Keystone pipeline, which should carry oil from Canada to Texas.

Other celebrities have been invited to lecture as musicians Neil Young and Bob Geldof, the fashion designer Donna Karan and winner of the Guatemalan Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, 1992.
I think Daryl Hannah is very important to come to the SWU will come because many celebrities and she is well known for her roles in 'Blade Runner' and 'Kill Bill' and she was arrested in August in protest against the construction of a pipeline in the U.S.A So I think her coming will be essential.

Brazil Corruption - President loses fourth minister

The article we chose http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14569168 is about a very important moment in Brazil. The minister of agriculture Wagner Rossi asked to leave the government after being accused of corruption and the President Dilma Rousseff accepted his resignation.

Mr. Rossi says the accusations are false. The PMDB party is having problems with the government. We think that nothing of this is new. We think that the President Dilma already knew of all the corruption in the government but she hired Mr. Rossi anyways.

These scandals are not new and happen all the time. Brazilians are accustomed to this type of news and feel too tired to fight for changes. We think politicians and corruption are the same thing and we already expect them to steal and commit crimes.

This news is about a brazilian commercial where the supermodel Gisele Bündchen appears wearing just panties and bra (from the lingerie advesrtisement), to give his husband the bad news that she blew her credit cards limit.

But there was a trouble. The ministry for women called for the suspension of the advertisement, because the ministry says that it reinforces the erroneous stereotyping of women as sex objects. Meanwhile, the model accepted to do the ad, she wasn't forced. Is the ministry's opinion absurd or the supermodel without own opinion about her gender?
