We said yesterday Friday is a awesome 1 and that’s especially true for the students
all faced in cathedral school in the virgin 2 islands we got this week’s social media
question right I'm Carl Azuz,let’s go.
First up, two rocket launches with 2 very different reactions, we’ve talked about
North Korea failed launch last week, yesterday india ran a successful test of a long
range missile. Other nations include United states critisized North Korea for it’s
launch. But other than some mial disappoval from China, no one says much about
india’s missile test. The difference idia is an ally of the US and it has a better
reputation in the international community than North korea does. Jim clamsy has
more on india test.
The agony5 missile blasted through the clouds from an island of idia’s east coast
released Thursday . Heading sky where on idia called a successful first flight, the
agony which means fire and hindi can carry a one ton nuclear warhead and it’s
believed to have a range of 5000 kilometers putting major chinese cities including
Beijing within striking distance. India’s prime minister Manmohan Singh calls the
Launch a major milestone 3. “ the successful launch of agony 5 missile , this to do with
the sophistications and communpant to national causes on the part of the idia’s Sytro
gen and technological 4 community ” the Lauch was flagged in advance but india did
not attract kind of international criticism that North korea received for it’s failed rocket
test last week. The lauch puts india in a very small club of countries. Only the
permanent members of the security council Britain China France Russia and US along with
Israel are believed to have such long range weapons. The india leaders say the
missile is meant as a deters 5 only. “ as beyond law I mean … very challenging work.
So I think the difference kept proporites with national campaign are of vital
importance.” Analysts 6 say they believe the launch put india’s nuclear arm neignbours
mainly China and Pakistan on notice. Chinese officals acknowledged the launch but
downplayed any sense of the rivalry 7 between the two nations.
The tragic 8 and shocking event of columnbane high school of little town colorado
happened exactly 13years ago today. 2 students carring guns and bombs went into
the school and open fire. They killed 13 people and wound 23 others and then took
their own lives. A memorial for the victims of that attack columnbane opened in the
park near the school at 2007. This shooting means school safety and nationwide
priority and let the programmes of policies that aimed to stop future attacks before
they happened.

Horizon oil rig of Gulf 9 Mexico. 11 of the 126 people who worked on the rig
were killed. The explostion led to the worst oil spill in US history. More than 200
