hey there everyone, I'm Ben Tinker filling in today for Carl Azus. we hope you had a great weekend, we are all rested up and ready to kick off a brand new week of CNN student news.and we are going to start today in Afghanistan. Officials from that country and the United State have agreed on a deal concerning military raids that happen at night, American commander say these raids are important part of the operation in Afghanistan but many Afghan people are angry about non-Afghan forces entering their homes.Yesterday's deal is aimed at finding a solution. It says from now on these night raids will happen unless they've been approved by Afghan authorities.They will also be run according to Afghan law, and only Afghan special forces will go into the homes, US troops will not enter unless they are asked to. Nick Paden Mosh has more on the agreement from Kabul.
Raids at night by special forces here in Afghan have been a long issue of contentious American. Official said they are vital for the campaigner but Afghan officials are expressing broad-felt Afghan popular distaste towards them because of the intrusion they cause into Afghan homes. Today's deal should hopefully see the back of some of that, some of the Afghan official anger towards this NATO policy. This deal effectively formalizing a system of Afghan officials' reviewing a raid before it happens. They effectively grant approval for some kind of legal authority here in Afghan for a raid to happen at key demand of Afghan officials.This does effectively give Afghan Government some kind of veto over which operations can or can't occur , ISSAD?? said they don't really have a problem with that because they normally agreed with the reviewing the decisons of all these Afghan groups before.They remains to be seen exactly how Afghan people will react to this new procedure despite many of the Afghan governance agreements have been met by the sufficient official documents. Nick Pagen Mosh, CNN, Kabul.
On this day's history back in 1865, Confederal General Robert Edward Lee surrendered at Appomattox courthouse in Virginia, officially ending the civil war. In 1959, NASA introduced the first American astronauts.That prestigious group was made up of 7 men who are all US military test pilots. And in 2003 Iraqi civilians and US troops toppled a statue of former dictator Saddam Hussein,the man himself was captured later that year.
Now when you see a video like this I report showing a huge cloud of smoke the first word you think of might be something other than miracle, but that's exactly the word that one US navy Admiral used to describe the situation.You see, last Friday , a navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex in Varginia beach. The jet had a " catastrophic mechanical mal-function " during take off. It crashed along 3 miles from the runway and sparked a fire in five apartment building, The reason Admiral called it a miracle is that no one was killed. Can you believe it? Look at that video. At least 7 people, though, were injured, and that includes the two pilots who ejected from the plane before impact. the navy says it could take weeks to find out exactly what happened.
Next stop, the US government's latest job report show that the country added about 120,000 jobs in March, the unemployment rate also dip from 8.3% to 8.2. But CNN business correspondent Christine Roman explains why some economic analysts consider that news somewhat disappointing.
He says when there is a drop in the unemployment rate, are negative , disappointing. Well, when you always create 120,000 jobs in the months and you have been creating 200,000 plus in the prior three months. This is the disappointment here, and some economics are telling us the unemployment rate fell a little bit is because about 164,000 people, many of them white women by the way, dropped out of the work force. And so that's why the unemployment rate fell. Let's take a look at where the jobs are or where we started to lose jobs in the months. Retail jobs. This is kind of interesting. 34000 retail jobs were lost in the month of March. We've seen retail sales pretty strong in this country, so this caught some people by surprise.Probably the only place you saw strenthened retail was home and garden stores because of the good weather. So a lot of people are watching this to see if it's some sort of harbinger of weakness coming for the consumer and as we know the consumer drive two third of economic activity in this country whether we like it or not. Let's look at the politics of itm because here is the trend overall.This is the big, big job lost at the end the Bush administration, and into the early months of the Obama administration and then here is the very painful period. This is stimulus by the way, and also a sensuous hiring where you saw job creation here. Then this painful period of wondering whether we were gonna have a double dip recession. And this is the transcendent.A lot of economics would have like to have seen this getting bigger and bigger, but you've got a little bit of slowdown in hiring here. It's something that bares watching, 7 more of these job reports until the election.
Fascinating staff Christine, thanks.
Around the world yesterday, people celebrated Easter. The observants commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's considered the most important holiday on the Christian calender. A large crowd of worshipers gathered at Vatican where Pope Benedict the 16th led mass and gave traditional Easter message. In that speech the Pope sometimes addresses current events,and this year he called for an end to the violence in Syria and push for peace in the Middle East.
our international cemetery outside Washington DC hosted its annual Ester sunrise ceremony. The service provides spiritual support to military members and their families and it is also open to the general public as well. |
