Police threaten World Cup pay strike

Federal police in Brazil have gone on strike over pay, and threatened to continue their protest during the football World Cup next month.
A spokesman for the striking officers, Renato Deslandes, said that "at least 40%" of the force took part.
He said their protest would continue if the government did not increase pay in line with inflation.
The 24-hour walkout took place across Brazil, including some of the cities that will host the football tournament.
A similar police strike last month in the north-eastern state of Bahia forced the authorities to deploy federal troops to restore order on the streets.
On Wednesday, there were protests in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Fortaleza, among other cities. There was no independent estimate of the number of police involved in the strike, according to BBC.
