Bringing today's headlines from CNN news is Atlanta Gerogy right here classroom around the world. I'm C, this is CNN student news.
First up , we are talking about violence and protests in the Middle-East nation of Yemen. People there have been protesting against their country's government for months. They wanna to change, especially the level of Yemeni's leadership. Yemen is located between Saudi Arab and Amen. It was established as a nation in 1990, and the same man Abudula Salad has been president in entire time, the protesters wanna him out of power. M J has the latest details on the reports of violence between protesters and Yemeni government forces.
They carried signs, saying we are not armed, don't attack us with gunfire. But that exactly what anti-government demonstrators say happen in the Yemen sunday when they gathered for a march through the streets of Sana, while the second straight day, they say tthey were fired upon by security forces and snipers, medic said at least five of the protesters were killed, and dozens wounded were entering the hospital by the minute. They called on people to donate blood , but Sana wasn't the only flashpoint, in the souther city of Tizs, another demonstration and dealth that has shot even though jailed by the seaming and ending cycle of violence in Yemen. Eyewitnesses in medic said a woman named **was killed by a shot to her head by the government sniper. Yemeni activists say she was 20 years old, and the first woman to be killed when marching against the government.
I hear now is that today's attack against, a sniper attack against the woman who was killed, it's really an escalation and it's the sign that government security forces were not really to stop shooting,even they are women, because, culturally , you know , women may have been beaten, arrested at times, never directly shot at.
CNN has not independently confirmed the details of the reports of violence in Sana and Tizs, nor has the government responded to our request for comment, the protesters remained determined, promising they will continue their peaceful revolution despite any threats or dangers they may face, vowing to keep flooding the streets until the reign of Yemeni president has come to an end.
So you just heard MJ talked about reports that woman had been killed in recent protests. That news led to this, protests of just women, thousands of them gathered in the Yemen's capital , they demanded the United Nation get involved in the situation and they said they want president to be trialed by the international criminal court. Salad says UN officials don't get the full picture of what's happening in his country, he says people who are against him just want to take power.
While move in east of Tailand, this is the country that's used to being flooded and used to get some flooded every single year, nothing though like what's going through right now. This is the worst flooding Tailand has seen in half of the century, more than 300 people have been killed, eighty five million people have been affected by the rising waters,there were some concerns the capital city of Bankok would be swapped that hasn't happened, but other parts of the country was hit hard, those were worst ways in some spots making it hard to get help to the victims. Thai officials said the floods could cause more than 2 billion dollars in damages, doantion is coming from other parts of the country and from around the world. |
