Brazil witnesses fresh conflicts

Despite Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff's national address, new conflicts have broken out across the country. Recent polls show 75% of Brazilians support the protestors.

The stadium at Belo Horizonte where Mexico faced off Japan in a Confederations Cup match was surrounded by protestors. Violence was also reported in Savador, which was hosting another game. The police had to resort to tear gas to disperse the crowds of protestors.

On Copacabana beach, residents voiced their anger and took to the streets urging the government to invest in health and education. The protestors showed their disagreement to the large amounts of money used to host sporting events in Rio de Janiero.

Avenida Paulista was flooded with people as tens of thousands protested against a proposed law harnessing the authority of the Federal Attorney's office over cases of corruption and abuse of power. It was federal prosecutors who brought to the surface Brazil's biggest-ever corruption scandal. Coalition parties were paid off with public funds for their political support.
