Hello everyone, I'm Creshon Saunders at the CNN.com Newsroom in Atlanta. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki vows 1 that police will stay in the southern port city of Basra until security is restored. Officials in the US and in Iraq say Iraqi security forces actually control less than a quarter of the city. Basra's police force is deeply infiltrated 2 by Mahdi Army militia 3 members. US warplanes today dropped two bombs on a suspected militia stronghold just north of Basra. In Baghdad, US helicopters conducted air strike last night on insurgent 4 targets in a Sadr City neighborhood.
Mexico is sending thousands of troops to the U.S.-Mexican border city of Juarez. They are hoping to help stem the blood flow brought on by a wave of drug-related violence. Juarez officials say two rival drug cartels are trying to push each other out of the region. The Mayor says about 200 people have been killed since January. Juarez sits along the Rio Grande River across El Paso, Texas. Mexico's Defense 5 Secretary says more than 2000 soldiers have been sent to Juarez.
It definitely wasn't a typical day at work for one Miami Walgreen's employee. Take a look at this dramatic video. A masked gunman took the store's manager hostage during a robbery attempt. The gunman then tried to force the manager into a waiting car but that's when the manager decided 6 to fight back. He managed to escape but the gunman wasn't so lucky - the police have reportedly taken that man into custody 7.
A couple in Sanford Florida is happy to have their one-day-old baby back today. Police say the newborn was abducted 8 from a hospital yesterday. They say a woman smuggled 9 the baby out and get this a tote bag. 39-year-old Jennifer Latham was arrested shortly afterward 10. She was pulled over by police in nearby Lake Mary, Florida. Officials say hospital alarms indicated the baby had been removed from the newborn unit. Police say the baby was unharmed.
All right, sure, when you stand 8 feet, get this 8 feet 5 inches tall is easy to see pass traffic but nothing fits quite right. So people around the world have been sending Leonid Stadni of Ukraine all kinds of things to make his life just a little bit easier including an oversized bicycle and an exercise chair you see there. The president of Ukraine even sent him a car, see it in that video. But hey we are just saying, an SUV may have been a better fit.
