Today's Video Focus: In Brazil, a state governor is refusing to back down on his prison
reforms - despite retaliation from organised criminal gangs.
Prisons built to hold captured gang members have instead become centres
of power for the criminal syndicates and authorities have vowed that
must not be allowed.
The gangs launched a wave of attacks in Ceara state, prompting President
Bolsonaro to send in national troops and the state government to crack
down on the prisons even further.
