Bus strikes in Brazil cause transport chaos in run-up to World Cup
A bus drivers' strike in Brazil has caused transport chaos in four major cities including two which will be hosting the World Cup in June.
In all more than 1.5 million people were affected by the strikes - the most serious problems were in Salvador while 90 percent of buses were running in Rio de Janeiro.
The stoppages were all in support of pay claims.
But for those waiting there wasn't much sympathy as many complained of having to wait or walk.
Industrial disputes have surged in Brazil in...

Andrew Tosh - Pick Myself Up - Tributo a Peter Tosh
Andrew Tosh canta Pick Myself Up do álbum Tributo A Peter Tosh ao vivo no Brasil
Letra:
Sittin' in the morning sun
And watching all the birds passing by
Oh how sweet they sing
And oh how much I wish that I could fly
And I try
I said I try
I try
I really try try try
But I got to
Pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again (CHORUS 2x)
Sittin' in the midday sun
And wondering where my meal's coming from
After working so hard
Not even piece of bread at the yard
And I said I try
Oh Lord I try
I try
I really try try try
Sittin' in the evening sun
And watching the same birds passing by
Sittin' and wondering
And waiting for the time for me to fly
And I try
I said I try
Good Lord I try
I really try try try
So long and I just find
It was just a waste of time
So long and I just find
I been been wasting all my time
I've got to pick myself up...

Andrew Tosh é o primogênito de Peter Tosh - cuja semelhança física com o pai é muito grande - e assumiu a
responsabilidade de levar adiante a herança musical da lenda do reggae.
Andrew já tinha iniciado a carreira antes do assassinato do pai, em 1987, mas foi com o disco de covers
intitulado Original man lançado no ano seguinte, que começou a se destacar no cenário do reggae
jamaicano.
O CD Tributo a Peter Tosh traz composições assinadas por Andrew, como He never died, If a did now e
Original man. No mais, o repertório é fechado pelos clássicos e hits de seu pai, música autêntica, roots de
verdade. Excelente participação do vocalista do Adão Negro, Sérgio Cassiano, que fez dueto com Andrew na canção Hand in hand, de sua autoria, composta para a ocasião.

Rasta Children feat. Nattali Rize - Brushy One String | Playing For Change | Song Around The World
We kindly invite you to SUPPORT OUR WORK AND GET ACCESS to more videos and free downloads:
One evening, a few years ago in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, the PFC crew and I were waiting for an 80-year-old cuica player to perform on a Song Around The World. I remember it seemed to take forever for him to make it down the hill, as he would stop off in every bar along the way for a drink and some conversation. As we waited I looked and saw a Rastaman walking across the street with his acoustic guitar in hand. I waved to him and he came over to see what we were doing with all our equipment. I told him about Playing For Change and he agreed to play a song for us while we were waiting. The result was an incredible, spontaneous performance of Dennis Brown’s “Rasta Children.” His voice reminded me of Peter Tosh and he sang with so much soul that we realized this could be an amazing Song Around The World. Just one man and his guitar playing on the street set the tone for this song and we added a worldwide band of roots musicians around him. “I and I deal with humanity…”

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Gangs of El Salvador (Full Length)
El Salvador is set to eclipse Honduras as the country with the highest homicide rate in the world. There have already been over 5,700 murders this year in a country with a population of just over six million. El Salvador’s murder rate is now the highest it’s been since the end of the country’s brutal civil war — there is on average around one murder an hour.
The staggering death toll follows the breakdown of a truce between powerful, rival gangs and the government. Police and military are now combatting the gangs head-on and, as part of its so-called iron fist strategy, gang members are being charged with a new crime — membership of a terrorist organization.
VICE News correspondent Danny Gold headed to El Salvador to investigate what many are now calling a war between the street gangs and the government.

Snake Island (Full Length Documentary)

Check out the Best of VICE here:
The highest concentration of one of the most venomous snakes in the world is located about 90 miles off the coast of Santos, Brazil, on a small, craggy chunk of otherwise uninhabitable land. It's known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, or Snake Island, and it's the only place you will find 2,000 or so of the wholly unique golden lancehead viper, or Bothrops insularis.
When you step ashore, with a keen eye you spot one of these snakes roughly every 10 to 15 minutes after clearing the base of the island, and as many as one every six square yards in other parts of the island. This means, as you are walking through the waist-high brush, even with some good boots on, it's like walking through a minefield that moves and, instead of blowing you into chunks, slowly paralyzes you and liquefies your insides, as the golden lancehead does to the migrating birds it feeds on in the treetops.
Well, liquefying your insides may be a stretch, but no one knows for sure because no one bitten has lived long enough even to be admitted to a hospital, or at least none of the researchers who accompanied VICE on their journey to Snake Island owned up to that fact. Nor did the Brazilian Navy, who allowed VICE exclusive access to document their annual maintenance inspection of Snake Island's lighthouse—which has been automated ever since the 1920s, after the old lighthouse keeper ran out of food and disappeared while picking wild bananas in a small grove near the shore. According to legend, he and the members of his rescue party died one by one, all alone and in search of one another after each had been missing for some time.
The golden lancehead is so unique and its venom so potent that specimens procured by snake-smuggling biopirates can fetch up to $30,000 apiece on the black market (with prices going much higher depending on the location of the rich weirdo snake collector or, some have speculated, the black-market biopharmaceutical chemists attempting to beat Brazil on a patent).
Is that the craziest fucking description of a documentary you've ever heard? The answer is yes. So of course VICE's editor-in-chief, Rocco Castoro, and senior producer, Jackson Fager, had to go there and nose around for themselves. On their return they said things like:
It was like a David Lynch movie through the prism of Satan's asshole. The anti-Galápagos. Darwin in reverse.
[It's] cut off from the mainland and perhaps the land of a long-buried pirate treasure, according to the stories from local fishermen. But they also told us there were aliens on the island, so pretty much anything goes. It's scorched earth. It's where I would send my worst enemies to live, and I look forward to setting up a business with the Brazilian government to do just that. After the World Cup, of course.
What I can tell you is that there are stone fucking steps hand-carved into the face of one of the prominent cliffs, all the way up. But you can't dock anywhere near there. There's also the possibility that [the venom] could be used for an anti-cancer drug, or perhaps anti-aging. Maybe it could save mankind. Whatever. They wouldn't have saved my ass.
There are blue locusts and so many of these weird, prehistoric-looking cockroaches on the ground at night that it crunches when you walk. Place is fucked. No one is allowed there for a reason. Don't ever go.
All that said, great shoot. Great diving, too.

Opposition agrees to talks
Rebel groups from the Syrian opposition have agreed to meet representatives of the Syrian regime early next month. The UN will mediate the talks that aim to lead Syria towards a political transition. However, the rebels say Bashar al Assad must step down before a transition period.
Vice-ministers meeting
Vice-ministers from the two Koreas have met in North Korea to discuss improving ties. Pyongyang proposed the discussions after the two sides exchanged artillery fire in August. It followed a landmine explosion which injured two South Korean soldiers in the demilitarised zone between the countries. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council held its second meeting on human rights in North Korea on Thursday.
1st refugees arrive
The first military plane carrying Syrian refugees has arrived in Toronto. The 163 people are part of 25-thousand Syrian refugees the newly elected Liberal party hopes to take in by the end of February. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Syrian asylum seekers may ‘step off the plane as refugees, but they walk out of the terminal as permanent residents, because Canada doesn’t define its people by skin colour, religion, or background.’ However, Canada has decided only to take in families, women, and members of the LGBT community. It’s also screening all asylum seekers overseas.
Honduran footballer shot dead
An Olympian footballer has been shot dead in his hometown in Honduras. Arnold Peralta played internationally and represented Honduras in the 2012 Summer Olympics. The director of the country’s football federation said Peralta’s death was a ‘tragic’ one ‘that the national sport mourns.’ It’s not yet known why he was killed or who did it.

14. Various of Chavez speaking to reporters
STORYLINE
In a unique six-hour long tour with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday, AP Television caught an unusual glimpse into the life of a man who has transformed Venezuela whilst spreading a socialist, anti-American message.
The trip included a road drive across the southern plains, a helicopter flight and a visit to a cattle ranch.
During the tour Chavez sipped coffee and sang folk songs, and stopped to talk with people who crowded around his car.
As his vehicle pulled to one stop on the country road and the tinted window was rolled down, passers-by gawked, then broke into a run, screaming president! when they realised Chavez was at the wheel.
The president clasped hands and planted kisses on cheeks, heads and hands of the people who turned out in the pouring rain to see him - what he called the driving force behind the socialist revolution that has pitted him against Washington.
Many asked Chavez for help - to build a home, to arrange medical care - and Chavez barked out instructions to his aides, who jotted them down.
At one stop, a boy peered into the car and asked Chavez for money.
It isn't good for you to be asking for money, the president replied. He then bought some quenepa - a tropical fruit similar to a lychee - from another boy in the group, and asked about their homes and schools.
Government statistics show poverty has declined during Chavez's eight years in office.
But his opponents charge he has accomplished little considering the (b) billions of dollars in oil proceeds flowing into the country.
Although he is satisfied with his progress, Chavez said he is not singing victory yet. It's a long road.
Talking of his private time, he said he enjoys watching Clint Eastwood movies, and liked the film Gladiator so much he saw it three times.
He said he sometimes plays late-night pickup baseball games with ministers and others, using a rubber ball. He relishes contact with the public, reads voraciously and makes hours-long speeches.
But overall he has few escapes from politics, a situation he blamed on conspiracies to kill him.

When ready, browse vacation packages to Cuba:
Despite being within easy reach of Florida and the Bahamas, #Cuba exists in a time and space all its own.
Explore Cuba’s capital, Havana, a city preserved by forts, a five-mile seawall, and an imposed embargo, which held back the excesses of the 20th century for over 50 years. Havana’s lure can be hard to resist, but a #vacation in Cuba can offer so much more beyond the seductive lights of its capital. In Cuba, a long sandy beach is never far away.
Sometimes it’s hard to know whether Cuba is awakening to the world, or if the world is awakening to Cuba. Whatever your politics, it's easy to admire this island nation that has proudly gone its own way. Cuba may still have one foot firmly in the past, but as the world tumbles towards tomorrow, we can be thankful for the many things it has not let go.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia (Full Documentary)
VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.
