STORYLINE:
Protests continued overnight across Brazil on Thursday, as more than a (m) million Brazilians poured into the streets of at least 80 cities, demanding improved public services and an end to corruption.
Clashes broke out in several cities as protesters faced tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets in their clashes with anti-riot police.
In Rio de Janeiro, where an estimated 300-thousand people demonstrated, clashes erupted between riot police and clusters of young men.

At least 40 people were injured in Rio de Janeiro.

At least one protester was killed in Sao Paulo state after a car rammed into a crowd of demonstrators, the driver was apparently angry for not being able to drive along a street.
By Thursday evening, the number of protesters had swelled to 1 (m) million, according local police estimates from cities across Brazil.
