Negotiations
between the U.S. and North Korea for nuclear disarmament are underway
in Beijing. Talks originally began in 2006 for North Korea to
forfeit their nuclear weapons programme in exhcange for food aid for
their starving natin. South Korea, Japan, China, and Russia are also
involved in the treaty to help unite the area. Since the death of
Kim Jong Il, his successor Kim Jong Un has been more open to
international relations. U.S. envoy Glyn Davie said "The talks
today were substantive and serious and we covered quite a number of
issues." Discussions will reconvene tomorrow.
A
nine-year-old girl was run to her death on Monday at her home in
Etowah county, Alabama. Grandmother, Joyce Mae Hardin, punished the
girl for sneaking a candy bar on the school bus that afternoon by
running a marathon around the house for three hours until she
collapsed. The girl was known to have a bladder condition which
would be expedited by the consumption of chocolate. Officials ruled
the death as a homicide citing severe dehydration as the cause. The
girls' grandmother and stepmother have been charged for her murder.
Two
young children were struck and killed Wednesday at the intersection
of Shady Lane and west Tyvola Road.
The intersection is known for being dangerous, officials are
investigating preventative measures.
