The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

Police are investigating a fire-bomb attack on the Rio de Janeiro office of a production company behind a controversial Christmas special aired on streaming service Netflix.
The episode, by comedy group Porta dos Fundos, depicts a gay Jesus bringing a boyfriend home to meet his family.
More than 2.3m people have signed an online petition to remove the film.
A video circulating online appears to show a far-right religious group claiming responsibility for the attack.
In it, a group wearing ski masks and identifying itself as the "Popular Nationalist Insurgency Command of the Large Brazilian Integralist Family", appear to attack the production company offices with Molotov cocktails.
A statement, read with a digitally disguised voice, criticises Netflix and describes the film as blasphemous.
It also includes flags with nationalist and fascist connotations, Reuters news agency reports.

No-one was hurt in the early-hours incident and a security guard was able to extinguish the blaze, the group said.

In a tweet they said, ³²ÀÚ·¹ÇÃ=³²ÀÚ·¹Çà in Portuguese, that they were confident that the country would "survive this torment of hatred, and love will prevail together with freedom of expression".
Their short Portuguese-language film, titled The First Temptation of Christ, has attracted criticism from religious groups and figures since its early-December release.
The 46-minute video shows Jesus bringing his presumed partner, Orlando, back home to meet the holy family.
The group, which ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô cites British comedy group Monty Python as an influence, previously won an International Emmy for their 2018 Christmas film which depicted the Apostles waking up with terrible hangovers after the Last Supper.

Within six months, Hong Kong was a place of huge protest marches, street battles and an unapologetic police response of tear gas, rubber bullets, water cannon and live fire. Teenagers shot bows and arrows, the parliament chamber was vandalised, hundreds of young people now know how to make Molotov cocktails and start fires. But after the bill was withdrawn, the anger became more palpable if anything.

Outrage swept across Hong Kong and by the following morning there were accusations that the police had not done enough. Their denials were insufficient to prevent Yuen Long being used as proof that the police were not there for the people but for the masters. The next weekend of protest was one of the most violent seen up to that point.

Her husband, however, still loves her very much. "He keeps sending me heart emojis. I used to reply to him with a heart but now I don't feel like doing it. And he keeps asking...
"I really want to love him again, but I can't."
She does acknowledge, though, that "this is his pride. This is his identity."
It is an acknowledgement needed by those in Hong Kong who support the police and the government. For them, one of the most unsettling things about Hong Kong's year is not confrontations between police and protesters, but the political fights that erupt on the street.

Five corpses and two human heads have been discovered inside a shipwreck on the coast of Japan.
The boat washed ashore on À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ Japan's Sado Island, northwest from the mainland, on Friday and authorities gained access on Saturday.
The heavily damaged ³²ÀÚ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® vessel had Korean lettering painted on its side.
Police could not confirm whether the two heads belonged to the corpses but Japanese media said the remains were "partially skeletonised".
This could indicate the victims had been at sea for a long time.
"Ghost boats" believed to hail from North Korea are a fairly common discovery on Japanese shores.

"Homophobic crimes are as alarming as physical violence," Supreme Court Vice-President Luiz Fux said on his vote, citing "epidemic levels of homophobic violence".

The country legalised same-sex marriage in 2013 and LGBT couples have also been given the right to adopt.
Last year, 420 LGBT people were killed across Brazil, one of the most violent countries in the world, according to Grupo Gay da Bahia.
Some activists have raised concerns over the possibility of a rise in crimes against gays and transgender people with the election of Mr Bolsonaro, a deeply divisive figure who has also made racist and misogynist remarks.

Uruguay's authorities say they have seized a record haul of 4.4 tonnes of cocaine, calling it the biggest setback for drug traffickers in the country's history.
The cocaine was confiscated in a joint operation between navy and customs officers in the port of Montevideo.
It had been hidden in four soy flour containers destined for Lome, the capital of Togo.
The drugs had a street value of about $1bn (¡Ì765m), according to officials.
Uruguay is increasingly being used as a transit point to move drugs from Latin America to Africa and Europe. The country's previous record haul was in November, when authorities uncovered a container with three tonnes of cocaine, also in Montevideo, bound for Cotonou in Benin via the Spanish island of Tenerife.
The 4.4 tonnes found recently came to light when scanners at Montevideo's port showed "anomalies" in the containers, officials said.
