The World Cup is just weeks away and at least one of the stadiums is still not complete. The country has also seen a series of strikes and there's concern the telecommunications system won't be able to handle the influx of visitors. We'll check in Brian Winter, chief Brazil correspondent for Reuters. Then, a final check in with film correspondent Milos Stehlik before he leaves Cannes and a preview of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's 'Truth to Power' festival.
