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

The news says that when Brazil knew that the 2014 World Cup would be made there, it was celebrated their chance to speed up infrastructure improvements in preparation for soccer’s showcase event.
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?
