fired rubber bullets and baton-charged protesters as violent clashes
broke out just hours before the World Cup kicks off.

bombs were also let off near the Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, where
the first match will be played, to disperse a crowd of about 200
demonstrators angry about government overspending on the event.
Police fired tear gas, stun
grenades and rubber bullets to break up dozens of protesters gathering
near a Sao Paulo subway station with a red banner reading 'If we have no
rights, there won't be a Cup'
Protesters tried to block part of the main highway leading to the stadium that hosts the opening match of the tournament
