RIO DE JANEIRO -- Police attempts to recapture a drug trafficker who escaped from a Brazilian hospital have led to more than a week of deadly gunbattles in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, which is hosting the Olympics in August.With violence raising concerns about security during the games, police near the Olympic beach volleyball venue in Copacabana also told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a foot and other body parts had been found on the shore. The officers said the parts washed up from the sea, but offered no further details.Ten people have been killed and about 50 schools have been shuttered over the past nine days because of shootings triggered by the police searches, the newspaper O Globo said. Police would not confirm the death toll, but said they had deployed 27 battalions of military police to various areas, including Rios downtown and its touristy southern area.Nicolas Labre Pereira, nicknamed Fat Family, escaped June 19 when assailants stormed one of the hospitals recommended for tourists traveling to the Olympic Games. The raid to free the 28-year-old suspect left a patient dead and a nurse and an off-duty policeman wounded.Other violence is also causing worries about safety during the Olympics. Last weekend, an off-duty bodyguard for Rios mayor was shot to death in an apparent mugging and a doctor was slain in her car on a main expressway. Earlier this month, members of the Australian Paralympic team were mugged at gunpoint.Officials have warned that budget shortfalls may compromise security.An estimated 85,000 police officers and soldiers will be patrolling the streets during the Olympics and Paralympics, but Rio de Janeiro states acting governor says the state is still waiting for 2.9 billion Brazilian reals ($860 million) from the federal government that is earmarked for security efforts.The financial aspect is the big problem of Rios public safety strategy, said Andrei Rodrigues, a top security official at the Justice Ministry who is responsible for big events.Killings in Rio increased to 2,036 in the first four months of the year, compared to 1,818 for the same period in 2015, according to a state tally that counts homicides, officer-involved killings and deaths as a result of robberies.---Associated Press writer Mauricio Savarese and AP videojournalist Renata Brito contributed to this report.

Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. CHICAGO -- The NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs identified the bullpen as the biggest weakness in their quest to win their first World Series since 1908.Enter All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman, left-hander Mike Montgomery and, just before the trade deadline Monday, right-hander Joe Smith from the Los Angeles Angels.That was an area we thought we could make some changes, general manager Jed Hoyer said. Adding a closer, a left-hander and then adding a guy like Smith who can be a right-handed specialist, we felt like those were areas that would improve our team and improve the mix of our bullpen.The Cubs third trade in two weeks sent minor league righty Jesus Castillo to the Angels for the 32-year-old Smith. The sidewinder is 1-4 with a 3.82 ERA and six saves in 38 appearances with the Angels this season. Smith has also pitched for the Indians and Mets in his 10-year big league career and is in the last season of his contract.Manager Joe Maddon sees Smith producing double play grounders and getting right-handers out.Try to set him up for the righty, the one thats not going to get pinch-hit for, Maddon said. The chance to get you out of the inning with one pitch, that kind of stuff. Or maybe start an inning based on another teams lineup . as well as one out, runners on first and second, right-handed hitter up, its a good spot to put a guy like that in.With Chapman coming from the New York Yankees last week and Montgomery from Seattle, the Cubs have a much more imposing look in the late innings.But the Cubs werent able to bring in a needed left-handed bat following the season-ending knee injury to slugger Kyle Schwarber in April.ddddddddddddHoyer said they were hampered because the teams looking to deal late included the crosstown White Sox and division foes Milwaukee and Cincinnati.It was really hard to do deals with those teams, Hoyer said. Theres probably a tax you have to pay or even not be able to get a deal done. We were certainly active, but of the teams making moves over the last 48-72 hours, a lot of the most active teams we would have had a hard time matching up with.So with high-priced left-handed hitter Jason Heyward struggling, do the Cubs have enough offense to end their championship drought?There is enough here, Maddon said. But we have to incorporate what were learning, move the baseball when its necessary, accept your walk.The 20-year-old Castillo has a 3.27 ERA in seven starts at Eugene in short season Class A and is seen as a long-term prospect for the Angels.The Cubs also designated left-hander Brian Matusz for assignment Monday after he gave up three home runs in his Chicago debut Sunday. Right-hander Spencer Patton was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.Hoyer stressed the Cubs still could make a roster tweak or two before the postseason.Well work through the August waiver period and try to find small things, Hoyer said. We did it last year, and you can make good and impactful moves after the deadline.
