This is Newsround. -- Dani Harmer. First to massive protests in Brazil,

:00:25.:00:31.

almost a year before they host the football World Cup. Bras sill a

:00:31.:00:39.

football-made country. -- Brazil. But with 12 months to go, many

:00:39.:00:43.

Brazilians are anything but happy. At first glance, it looks like

:00:43.:00:47.

preparation for next year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games are

:00:47.:00:52.

in full swing. A fat ball tournament called the Confederations Cup is in

:00:52.:00:56.

tun and crowds are flocking into the newly-built stadiums to get a taste

:00:56.:01:00.

of the action. -- a football turn A Last night there were crowds of a

:01:00.:01:04.

different kind on the streets. Hundreds of thousands of people

:01:04.:01:08.

marched through the country's biggest cities in protests at the

:01:08.:01:11.

rising transport costs and the price of hosting two of the world's

:01:11.:01:15.

biggest sporting competition. Large areas of Brazil are very poor and

:01:15.:01:18.

people living there think the money that should be spent on improving

:01:18.:01:24.

their lives is beings wasted. Protesters threw rocks at police and

:01:24.:01:28.

set fire to Government buildings. On the other side, police were accused

:01:28.:01:34.

of firing rubber bullets and teargas at innocent bistanders.

:01:34.:01:38.

You witnessed some of the protests last night and took this amazing

:01:38.:01:46.

last night and took this amazing video. What did you see? Youngs and

:01:46.:01:51.

olders. Lots of people that you wouldn't see usually in a protest.

:01:51.:01:55.

Were there any children protesting with their parents? You have

:01:55.:02:00.

15-year-olds on the streets here, protesting with people the age of my

:02:00.:02:05.

parents, probably around 60 years parents, probably around 60 years

:02:06.:02:10.

old. More protests are planned for the coming days as the countdown to

:02:10.:02:14.

next summer's World Cup continues. The pressure will continue on the

:02:14.:02:18.

Brazilian Government to do something about it. To Afghanistan and of a

:02:18.:02:23.

begun troops are are officially taking over from NATO forces.

:02:23.:02:26.

British and American troops have been fighting the Taliban there

:02:26.:02:29.

since 2001 but have handed over the responsibility to of a begun

:02:29.:02:34.

soldiers who they have been training up. 444 -- Afghan soldiers. 444

:02:34.:02:36.

British troops have been killed during the war. Most troops from

:02:36.:02:40.

this country are due to leave Afghanistan next year but there are

:02:40.:02:43.

big concerns on what will happen when they go. We will have more in

:02:44.:02:52.

that story on our later bulletin. Now then, Dani Harmer started acting

:02:52.:02:57.

when she was six but growing up in front of the camera has its ups and

:02:57.:03:03.

downs. She is launching her own acting academy later this year and

:03:03.:03:10.

is starring in a theatre show. She is a Strictly finalist and a TV

:03:10.:03:15.

legend You've really got to be kidding me? Danny harmer has grown

:03:15.:03:21.

up on C BBC C which hasn't always been easy. You know, with being on

:03:21.:03:25.

TV it is misleading. When you watch yourself, you look a lot bigger on

:03:25.:03:31.

the TV than you are in real life. People when they meet me they say -

:03:31.:03:39.

you are small and skinny. I'm like, sorry about looking dumpy on the TV.

:03:39.:03:44.

You know what, I don't care what other people think any more. It is

:03:44.:03:47.

important to be happy with yourself. Were you ever at a point when you

:03:47.:03:52.

found it difficult to be in your own skin? Yeah. I think as a girl we all

:03:52.:03:57.

go through this, really. I think it is quite a lot down to things like

:03:57.:04:00.

twitter and Facebook and stuff like that. Some people have nothing

:04:00.:04:05.

better to do with their time than send abuse to people. I still don't

:04:05.:04:08.

understand T I wouldn't walk down the street, go up to a stranger and

:04:08.:04:12.

go - your hat looks rubbish. What is the point? If you haven't got

:04:12.:04:16.

anything nice to say, don't say anything. What about edited

:04:16.:04:22.

celebrity photos and how would Dani feel if her snap was altered?

:04:22.:04:26.

don't get the point in air brushing. We should be happy with the way we

:04:26.:04:29.

are. Everyone is different. Thank you very much. We'll hear more from

:04:29.:04:35.

Dani this weekend. Finally popstar Will.i.am has hit out at record

:04:35.:04:38.

label Universal over the lack of success so far for last year's

:04:38.:04:44.
