 Hello, I am Carl Azuz, welcome you to a new day and a new month, CNN Students, we are gonna take flight with some California teenagers on the beat, but we are beginning today with an anniversary. 

 

Tonight, I come forward to the American people and to the world, the United States is conducting operation that killed Osama Bin¹ Laden², the leader of Al-Qaida and terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.

 

 

President Obama speak exactly one year ago today, telling the country and the world about the death of Osama Bin Laden, Bin Laden was the leader of Al-Qaida terrorist organization, he was connected to several attacks against Americans, including the ones on September 11th 2001 in New York, Washington DC, and S Pennsylvania. US intelligents tracked Bin Laden in this compound in Pakistan, a group of US sails read the compound, the terrorist leader was killed during a fire fight there, Osama Bin Laden's body was buried at sea within 24 hours in accordance with Islamic law.

 

 

This is the moment we talked about in yesterday's show when this beam was put in place on Monday, one world trade center became the tallest building in NY, it's built in the same area as the old world trade center which was destroyed in that terrorist attack from 2001. The plan is for the new building to eventually reach a final height of 1,776 feet, that will make it, the tallest building in the country. 

 

 

See if you can ID me, I am a country made up of different islands, I am in the top 10 when it comes to world population, my constitution was varied³ after World War II, I have an emperor, but my government is ran by a prime minister, I am Japan, my current prime minister is Yoshihiko Noda. 

 

 

Prime minister Nado is Japan's 6th leader in 5 years, he came to power when the previous prime minister resigned after last year's devastating⁴ earthquake and tsunami⁵ in Japan, yesterday prime minister Nado thanked the United States for it's support in the aftermath of that disaster, he did this in person, the Japanese leader was at the White House yesterday, meeting with president Obama. They both described the relationship between the US and Japan as an essential lines for their countries.

 

 

Things are more tense between the US and China, one issue that always comes out between the two countries is human rights. Chen Quang Cheng is Chinese human rights activist⁶, he spoke⁷ out against Chinese policy that tries to restrict families there from having more than one child, Chen disappeared from his house about a week ago, and the stand ground explains where Chen is now could have a major impact on China's relationship with United States. Somewhere behind these wars may will be the answer to China's great guessing game, where is Chen? within minutes, pulling out camera, security at the United States Embassy in Beijing pounced⁸. The blind human rights activist, just being in hiding after escaping house race in his prevention village and flee to Beijing, now a close friend and fellow campaigner says Chen is indeed here, giving refuge at US Embassy, when Chen first fled to Beijing, we had to keep moving him from place to place to ensure his safety, and we agreed the US Embassy is the only absolutely secure location in town. Chen had been under heavy guard for the last dating months, it's been more than 4 years in prison convicted of disrupting traffic and damage property during demonstrations⁹, seems his release is being in knock down. And all of this now,  political time-bound, the few is being leaped to US on one side, China on the other, Hilary Clinton, the US Secretory¹⁰ state due to touch down.
