Watch Brazilian police attack anti-impeachment protesters

RIO DE JANEIRO — A peaceful rally in Sao Paulo on Sunday afternoon to protest the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and call for elections ended in violence hours later amid widespread accusations of police brutality.
Cellphone videos of panicked protesters fleeing clouds of tear gas and a BBC Brasil reporter apparently being knocked over by riot police have raised concerns that further demonstrations, including those planned for Wednesday — Brazil's independence day — may be marred by violence.
Many fear a repeat of 2013, when violent protests roiled Brazil and masked youths fought pitched battles with police in Rio and Sao Paulo for months afterward.
Rousseff was ousted from office by the Brazilian Senate on Thursday after an impeachment trial that she and her leftist supporters labeled a parliamentary coup. She was replaced by former vice president Michel Temer. He first took over as interim president when Rousseff was suspended in May and has been trying to introduce austerity measures and a more conservative agenda.

No Zika Cases Reported During Rio Olympics, W.H.O. Says

No Zika infections were reported in Brazil during the Olympics, either among athletes or visitors, the World Health Organization said Friday.
The international health agency convened experts this week to decide whether the Zika virus continued to constitute a public health emergency. They voted yes, they announced at a news briefing Friday, in part because new infections had been reported in Singapore and Guinea-Bissau.
But one bright spot was the Olympics. Brazil presented data that the experts said had convinced them that no infections had occurred either during the Games or after visitors and athletes had returned to their home countries.
“They gave us very convincing data,” said Dr. David Heymann, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who led the panel of experts. He said health facilities in Brazil had been poised to track and treat Zika cases, but had reported none.
