Security worries ahead of World Cup and Olympics

Description

Pope Francis' recent trip to Brazil drew millions to Rio de Janeiro, posing a logistical nightmare. Before that, the Confederations Cup football tournament saw mass protests as Brazilians vented their anger at what they saw as wasted investment. The events have raised questions over security, and whether the country is really ready to host next year's World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
