Millions return to extreme poverty in Brazil
Simone Batista holds her baby Arthur as tears roll down her cheeks while she recounts being cut from the "Bolsa Familia" government subsidy program for low-income people, at her shack home in the Jardim Gramacho slum of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Oct. 20, 2017. Batista wants to appeal the government cutting her from the program, but doesn't have enough money to take buses to the administrative office.
