Brazilians took to the streets again on a new day of mass nationwide protests, demanding better public services and bemoaning massive spending to stage the World Cup. More than one million people have pledged via social media networks to march in 80 cities across Brazil, as the two-week-old protest movement -- the biggest seen in the South American country in 20 years -- showed no sign of abating. .

1500-2000 demonstranten liepen mee in een protest actie tegen het
faillissement van ADO Den Haag. Het Bestuur heeft de afgelopen weken de
supporters in onzekerheid gelaten over de toekomst en financiële status
van de voetbalclub. Daarom vond er zaterdag 16 februari een
demonstratie plaats. op het plein bij het stadhuis de demonstratie
verliep ordelijk na afloop trokken een aantal supporters de binnenstad
in nauwlettend in de gaten gehouden door een grote groep van de politie
zowel in uniform als in burger luid zingend trokken ze door het
centrum kreten'' als geen geld dan maar geweld" -en het lied oh oh Den
Haag klonken loeihard toen de groep door de passage liep verder bleef
het vrij rustig

The decision to ask them to voluntarily rehouse was made with good intentions, as the estate was built in 1961 and, after just 20 years, was considered run down. But by rehousing them, the tenants would lose the right to pay below-market rent (a privilege granted to them when they had agreed to be rehoused as part of the redevelopment of the Tai Hang Sai Resettlement Area).
Their complaint relates to a decision by the Government in 1981 to rehouse tenants in Tai Hang Sai Estate to newer flats.
Yesterday, Nick and I accidentally walked into the middle of a protest down Queen St in Auckland City being escorted by police.
Pretty much the whole of Queen St was just filled with people shouting and screaming. Some people were dancing and others had even brought their small children with them.
I noticed that a few people younger than me were holding signs as well. It made me wonder if they even knew what they were protesting against.
The whole protest was pretty much about how New Zealand shouldn't be selling their assets.. despite the fact that pretty much every other country sells their products and our economy just sucks.
I still wont appreciate this country as much as I'd like to.

Peaceful protesters have ensured that today’s demonstration organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has passed off without any major incidents.
Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”
