The director of a French magazine says his publication is using freedom ofexpression to comment on the news in a satirical way. And the news that themagazine is commenting on involves the Islamic religion, its prophet Muhammadand an anti-Islam film that led violent protests last week. The French publicationis a humor magazine, it has a reputation for being a little outrageous 2, andit`s using cartoons to comment on the last week`s news. The director says,"The Humorous" aimed at the film, which he calls grotesque 3. But thecartoons include drawings of a figure who resembles the Prophet Muhammad, andfor many Muslims any picture of Muhammad is very offensive, in some Arabcountries it would be illegal. It`s not in France. As of Wednesday, thereweren`t any reports of violence related to the cartoons, but France wasplanning to close its embassies in some nations later in the week just in case.The journalists who work at the magazine said they are not trying to provokeanger or violence, the goal is to laugh.

Here is something that hadn`t happened in more than a week. Chicago studentsheading in the school. Classes have been canceled since teachers went on strike,that strike was suspended on Tuesday evening, in a proposed deal between theteachers and school officials both sides got some victories.
 
This is very much seen as a bit of a give and take. But teachers overwhelminglyare telling us that they are simply relived that it is over, after seven dayson the picket 6 line, they are glad to get back to the classroom, and here iswhat one teacher told us shortly after that vote came down.
 
Everybody is happy to go back to work, getwith the kids, it`s been long enough, so I think we`ve accomplished 7 what wewanted to.A few people are not happy, but you know, no matter what you do,nobody is going to be completely happy, so I think we`ve done the best wecould.
