Brazil leader breaks silence about protests
None
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff spoke about her generation's struggles in battling a dictatorship during a prime-time speech meant to connect with the nation's youth who have energized widespread and at times violent anti-government protests.
The 10-minute address ended Rousseff's much-criticized silence in the face of the protests. She promised to make improvements in urban transportation and to battle corruption, but offered few details as to how that will happen. The leader added she would soon hold a meeting with leaders of the protest movement, governors and the mayors of major cities. (AP)
