Brazil landless march on capital

"More than 12,000 landless farmers are to hold a mass protest in Brazil's capital against what they see as the government's slow pace of land reform.

"The protesters arrived in Brasilia after a 200km (125-mile) walk from the city of Goiania, capital of the neighbouring state.

"They say they want to highlight the government's failure to distribute land and resettle landless peasant families."
