GAVIN O’TOOLE examines the fatal relationship between environmental crimes and politics in Brazil and the inspiration provided by Indigenous people
When fun could be fatal
In the current pandemic crisis, it's beyond belief that organisers are going ahead with music festivals in Europe this summer, says DAN NOLAN

AS A ticketholder for Primavera Sound in Porto early in June, I was disappointed to learn that the festival may still go ahead as planned.
Like all music fans, I have accepted that it is not acceptable to go to events until I’m doubly sure that I won’t risk endangering somebody more vulnerable than me.
I am accepting it much the same as how, as a film or football fan, I am not lobbying my local cinema or club to throw their doors open in defiance of a historic plague.
