The Obama administration has reached a meeting of the minds with the Indian government. It clear the way for US companies to help Indian in developing nuclear power plants. NPR’s GH reports the deal was announced following a lengthy 1 meeting today between president Obama and the Indian prime minister.

The agreement is to remove road blocks preventing American companies from working with Indian’s nuclear industry. US ambassador Rich V said the US addressed liability in the matter of a nuclear accident as well as the way nuclear materials are tracked.

Dozens of drivers regularly commute 10 across the border of Santiago, many of whom have been approved to use fast lanes to speed their transit 11. But John, a member of KPBS reports those most trusted drivers can become unwilling 12 drug mill. The fast lane is on the busiest crossing in the world traveling from California into Mexico. The cars display their fast pass to ride that lane.  It is a perfect w for drug smugglers.  Smugglers are putting boxes of powerful magnets on the bottom of the cars in Mexico. Then they remove them to sell the drugs in the US side of border. The boxes can carry up to 15 pounds of powder drugs, such as heroine. This smuggling 13 method is growing more popular says ice officer Lauren M. 
 
We have recently seen a spike 14 of 4 cases here of within a matter of a couple of weeks. So it is a matter of the public being aware, and taking a look under the vehicle before returning. So far unwilling drivers who find the drugs have not been charged. For NPR news I am NJ in Santiago.
