4/10 //Dubai upholds kissing couple ruling//

SUMMARY: Two UK citizens had been caught kissing in public r estaurant in the United Arab Emirates. 25 year old man Charlotte Adams and 24 year old woman Ayman Najafi were convicted of inappropriate behavior and illeagal drinking in public.

SOURCES: Aljazeera: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/04/2010441450747113.html CBS: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/05/world/main6364188.shtml

COMPARE/CONTRAST: The two articles had very similar information, and nothing had contradicted the other. Both the information of the same occurance stayed relevant. The only difference of the two were that CBS spoke of a different occurance in India. While on the other hand, Aljazeera spoke of an occurance in Rome. The two very irrelevant from the information that was relevant. The additional information was not needed in either articles.

OPINION: The articles were short and lacked important background information. I feel like there is still alot more this this story that needs to be told, both sources are leaving me hanging. The two articles had extra information on different happenings from other countries that are very unnecessary. Overall, the articles are interesting, however both do need much more information.
