Others with peace and love, the hippie generation. But many people are unaware of that, like those people who were killed. The V, of course, stands for the CV. And the other main gang that operates in Brazil, the PCC that came from Sao Paulo, They have a variation of three-finger gestures to symbolise the three letters, the PCC, the three letters.

It's all a bit silly, but it's extremely dangerous.

Yes, these gangs created in the 80s and the 90s, they're not gangs anymore. They're major, big criminal organisations. They have a lot of impact on politics. The PCC is deeply involved in illegal mining in indigenous lands in the Amazon. They're very powerful. And what they have done now, going beyond the idea of just selling drugs, is they control territory a bit like mafia style.

And they charge people who live in the area protection money. They force people to buy, for example, gas canisters or water or beer from them. And that's why it's so important for them to have the territory. And when people show the wrong gestures at the wrong place, that's seen as a sign of disrespect.

Well, what I found interesting is that the reaction has been quite muted. I don't know if it's out of fear. People are really terrified of those gangs or because violence has become normalized in the country. People who are from there, they know those symbols. They know, for example, that the red colour is associated with the red command, the CV. The black colour is associated with the police.

And actually, the club was informed of these implications of this hand gesture by the fans who posted messages online. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known about that. But I think it's a sign of how deep the situation, how serious the violence is in Brazil.

We have the inauguration of President Nicolas Maduro. He's going to be inaugurated into a third term next Friday in a week's time. And I think it's a message for the opposition candidate telling him, don't try to come back. If you do, we're going to arrest you. I'm saying that because Edmundo Gonzalez said a few weeks ago, a couple of months ago, that he was planning to go back to Caracas.

It took everyone by surprise. for the inauguration ceremony, but not for Maduro's inauguration ceremony. He was going to come back to claim the presidency. What the Venezuelan opposition say is that they won the election by a wide margin. They have provided what seems to be clear evidence of that.

It was accepted by many countries, including countries in the European Union, the United States, proving that they won the election. Nicolas Maduro was declared a winner by a government-appointed election commission, but he never published the breakdown of the vote, and many countries refused to accept.

One of the main allies of President Maduro in South America, President Lula of Brazil, for example— sort of broke off with him. So he's not going to attend the ceremony in Venezuela next week. He's going to send his ambassador. Other countries that are very loyal to him will be there, like Cuba, Nicaragua, which is of the hardcore of the left in Latin America.
