Rio protests

Ágatha Vitória Sales Félix was with her mother in a van when she was shot in the back in a poor area on Friday.

Residents said officers had targeted a motorcyclist when she was hit. Police said they had responded to an attack.

A record 1,249 people have died in such raids in Rio from January to August.

Ágatha is the fifth child to die as a result of violence blamed on the police this year.

The mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, carried the torch on its first few laps through the city centre.

But there were chaotic scenes later in the north of the city when the torch relay was challenged by hundreds of demonstrators angry at the high cost of hosting the Games.

Riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

Images shown on news websites showed at least one policeman appearing to fire a projectile directly at a protester.
