RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Criminal groups set at least 35 buses on fire in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on Monday, according to the industry group that represents bus companies, after police killed a crime boss in an operation. The attacks on buses were concentrated in the west of the city, where rival criminal groups are fighting for territorial control. Industry group Rio Onibus said 20 of the vehicles were city buses, five were part of the city's rapid transit fleet and the remainder were chartered or tourism buses.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 9 (Reuters) - The world' largest economies grouped in the G20 will hold their annual heads of state or government summit next year in Rio de Janeiro, state Governor Claudio Castro said. Brazil will take over the rotating presidency of the G20 from India on Dec. 1. It will be the largest event in Rio since the city hosted the Olympic Games in 2016 and the World Cup soccer final in 2014. The G20 represents around 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of global trade and about two-thirds of the world's population. The G20 was started two decades ago to include important emerging economies in discussions that had been confined to the Group of Seven industrialized economies.

Jan 8 (Reuters) - Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4.SA) stepped up security at its refineries in a precautionary measure after threats against assets, including Brazil's biggest fuel plant, two company officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The threats were detected by Petrobras' intelligence unit monitoring social media communications of supporters of Brazil's far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, the two people said. The state-controlled company said on Sunday night all its assets and refineries were operating normally. The threats to Petrobras targeted assets such as refineries in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Parana states, the people said. Brazil's Mines and Energy Minister, Alexandre Silveira, said Brazil's fuel supply would run normally, as would the country's refineries.

REUTERS/Gabriel StargardterCATANDUVA, Brazil, Oct 28 (Reuters) - The small city of Catanduva in the rural farm belt of Sao Paulo state has been ahead of the political curve in Brazil. The residents of Catanduva, who have benefited from robust Chinese demand for Brazilian commodities, are now fully behind Bolsonaro. Since Sahao stepped down in 2005, the PT has spent nearly two decades locked out of power at Catanduva's city hall. Across Sao Paulo, countless PSDB mayors and state lawmakers have, like Father Oliveira of Catanduva, thrown in their lot with Bolsonaro. Bassitt, the farmer, said the conservative values of rural, small-town Brazil were now the driving force in national politics.
