4:55Avenida Paulista is closed for leisure as Lauxen reports on holiday travel through São Paulo's airports.
8:08Veeck displays a map showing flights over Brazil during the holiday.
11:15Flower-shop owner Carlos describes cemetery-tribute demand, including purchases of chrysanthemums and orchids.
18:37Cambraia says the government seeks security-amendment approval before year-end, amid disagreements involving opposition proposals.

Brazil's proposed public-security constitutional amendment faces a potential obstacle over the age of criminal responsibility, as the government seeks approval before the end of the legislative term.

Brazilian broadcaster Cable News Network Brasil (CNN Brasil) puts that dispute in the headline of its morning broadcast: "MAIORIDADE PODE TRAVAR PEC DA SEGURANÇA | LIVE CNN", meaning "Age of criminal responsibility could stall security constitutional amendment."

Reporting from Brasília, Duda Cambraia says the government's strategy is to secure passage before year-end. She describes efforts to arrange a Senate vote and disagreements involving opposition proposals. An on-screen banner identifies Tuesday as the focus of the government's Senate push, not as a confirmed vote date.

A PEC is a proposed amendment to Brazil's Constitution, rather than an ordinary bill. It must pass both houses of Congress, the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, making agreement in the upper house only part of the legislative task.

The political report comes after a substantial stretch of holiday coverage. Presenter Elisa Veeck opens the November 2 edition with roads and airports busy for Finados, Brazil's day of remembrance for the dead. Nathália Lauxen reports from São Paulo's Avenida Paulista, closed to traffic for leisure, and discusses passenger movements at Guarulhos, Viracopos and Congonhas airports. Veeck also displays a map of flights over Brazil.

In Vila Mariana, another São Paulo neighborhood, Bruno Teixeira visits a flower shop supplying cemetery tributes. Owner Carlos describes strong demand and identifies chrysanthemums and orchids among the flowers customers are buying. The broadcast then turns from those street-level holiday scenes to the negotiations in Brasília.
