=**North Korea to releas US activist** =

**Synopsis**
A man who illegally crossed the North Korea border is 'graciously' being released from prison. He came to spread human rights ideas into North Korea and also to promote God. He walked into North Korea from China via the froze Tumen River screaming "I am an American Citizen. I brought Gods love. God loves you and God bless you." He walked into North Korea in late December of last year. He is being leniently forgived and released. This is weird that they are so nicely and easily letting this man go. Its not like he did anything wrong in the first place, but this is the country that held US journalists captive for ** = = = = = = = = =Former Chinese Police Chief on Trial for Gang Links=
 * Opinion

A former police chief in china went on trial for accepting bribes from a gang to protect them. He accepted about $2.4 million in bribes to protect a southwest China gang while he was the director of the Chongqing Municipal Judicial Bureau. He is charged with gang affiliations, bribery, and rape. This is the most recent in gang affiliation charges taking place in Chonqing. Chonqing is in Southwest Asia and has a long history of underworld activities. Last year Chongqing was the center of a government crackdown. The police chief was detained in August and accused of hiding the gang operations headed by his sister, referred to as the father of underworld activities, including illegal casinos and clearly bribing.The trial took place yesterday. I think this police chief should never been hired! I bet the only reason he applied for this job is to protect the underworld operations being headed by his sister. It was probably a plan. I think it was awful, of course. This was a bad plan, but i dont know how they got caught. That would be a good thing to know. They were both pretty similar. They had the same basic information, but the BBC article was more detailed and had pictures. Both of the articles had more quotes, probably because they would be hard to translate, or mabye there just weren't any. The BBC article includes information about what is happening and what could possibly happen, while the other article only has information about what happened.

=KENYA, TURNING HUNGER AROUND WITH AGRICULTURE (11/12)=

Kenya has started to farm and it has affected them greatly. Now since the government invested in agriculture people are making more money and there is more food to go around. The government invested in an irrigation project that has been dead for years and is revived and on track. This is telling world wide hunger organizations that the first step to world hunger is to invest in agriculture. I was pretty happy to hear this. Usually when you read news about food it usually has to do with how countries are starving and how America is eating to much, it was nice though to read this that countries are making changes for the better. With organizations, rallies, and governments starting to care about the people i think that we are closer to being able to fix world hunger. Every single news website had almost the exact same article. I finally found an article that was a letter written by a kenyan justus. This article was very different becasue it wasn't about the situation it was kind of like a before quote, or a prediction. The articles had nothing in common besides the topic.

The ICC is currently starting investigation Thursday on the declared 'crimes against humanity' commited in 2008. The prosecuter, Luis Moreno-Ocampo flew into Kenya to speak with the president and the prime minister of Kenya. The president and prime minister's rivalry started a string of killings within Kenyan communities. Kenyans support the involvement of Moreno-Ocampo because they were the ones harmed and they think that something should happen about the 2008 activity. This is an interesting case because usually Kenyan leaders have been able to slip by prosecution in time of government corruption. I agree that something needs to be done. 1,000 people killed is a lot of people and if the government has not been called out before then they definetly need to be called out this time. I think that the kenyan president and prime minister need to look at this in the people perspective and not their perspective because the people are the party affected. The main idea of these articles is definitely the same. They both discuss the people of Kenya and how they want response to the killings that happened because of a 2008 election. The main difference in the articles is in the Time article the writer discusses how the people want the ICC to come and help while in the New York Times article mainly it is about the prosecutor and what is happening now that the ICC has started to get involved. There are no similar quotes or pictures on either page probably due to their big gap in dates of publication.
