Fridays are awesome1. I am Carl Luis. Weldcome to the weekly last edition of CNN student news. Could part of Ukraine succeed from the country and come to part of Russia? That is the question. The protest in the capital who have ousted2 the Ukraine president wer the Urainians who want closer ties with Europe. But in Crimea a region of Southern Ukraine, many people identify more with Russia, and its local government decided3 to hold a vote later this month to let Crimeans decide wether they want Russia or Europe. Ucraine government says this is an illegislative decision. And president Obama who supports the pro-Europe Ucrainians says borders can be redrawn without a approval form the democratically elected leaders. But Russia says Ukraine's government has broke the law when it kicked out its democratically elected president. And Crimea is important to Russia. It gives Russia navy access to the Black Sea. The standoff has international diplomats4 working around the clock to find a peaceful solution.
Next up today. The US and South Korea have been ally since Korean War. Every year the two nations team up for a series of military exerciese. And every year it makes North Korea mad. North Korea has been launching rockets into the ocean.They are not aimed at any thind or anyone in particular. But one rocket came uncomfortably close to one of the Chinese passenger jet.
South Korea is calling it a very dangerous situation. Defence
ministry5 says that a Chinese passenger jet which had more than two hundred people onboard flew through the
trajectory6 of the North Korea rocket,which had been fired just seven minutes earlier. The China Airline was flying on Tuesday from Narato inJapan to Shenyang in China. Airline officials did not respond to CCN for comment. The rocket was just one of seven that Pingyong fired that day. China says they will seek provication from relevant parties and expresse their concern. When relevant country conduct drills, or trial, it should take measure to ensure safety of survaillance in aircraft or ships, in their relevant area and maritime space according international law.
South Korea says the North has not given any navigational warning for the rockets. Pingyong says that recent rocket fire has not
affected7 relevant internaitonal order, although it may not mention of the chinese plane. North Korea claims that these rockets tests are
justified8 in their self defence saying that US-South Korea
joint9 military drills in fact are a
provocation10 that on Monday. The US says these rokets tests do violate UN security council resolutions
