Rio gets ready for Live Earth concert

July 07, 2007

Fans flock to Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the Live Earth concert to watch rehearsals. The Live Earth concert in Rio de Janeiro will go ahead after organizers overcame security concerns and a judge lifted a ban on the climate change awareness event. The Rio prosecutor's office had sought an injunction to stop the pop concert on Copacabana beach because too few police would be available as officers prepare for the Pan American Games, which start on July 13 in the crime-plagued city.
