Wednesday News

Problems in Mexico have gotten deeper. Turns out they are also suffering from a recession. the US are trying to help with their drug and economic. On the front page there was a very interesting story, a elementary school in NY is getting rid of letter grades and using numbers instead; 1 being the worst and 4 the best.
The picture on the International page really caught my eye. It was a striking photo and one of the best that I have seen in the NY Times. It brought my attention to the story which articles should do.
In China, they blocked Internet users from using YouTube. YouTube has been quite popular in the Times lately. No one can pin point the actual reason but some say it could have been the video that showed police officers brutally beating down Tibetans after the riot last year. The Dalia Lama fabricated the video. Also in China, reporters have gotten inside the prison walls and revealed the harsh treatment prisoners have been receiving from others and police officers. This was a very interesting story topic because prisoners do not get a lot of recognition.
The investigation goes deeper into the plane crash in Montana. They are not certain what cause the crash but a device police found on may give them a clue.
