Mass protests in Brazil intensified late on June 20 as tens of thousands of people surrounded the Congress building in the capital, Brasilia, breaking windows and clashing with police. In Rio de Janeiro, as many as 300,000 protesters flooded the streets. The demonstrations began over a rise in transit fares, but have escalated into a movement against official corruption and in favor of increased education and health care spending. (Reuters video)
