Garment workers clash with police in Bangladesh



This article is about why the civilians in Bangladesh are protesting and causing road blocks. The civilians of bangladesh are not happy with the amount of money they are getting paid for work. Their complaining about how they should get a higher salary because they work very hard. The riot was very wild, the civilians were throwing stone rocks at police and police reacted in harsh kind of way firing tear gas into the crowds causing many injuries. 
I think that the government should raise the salary for the works if not a lot at least a little bit because it's not fair to the workers to work so hard and can only support their family a little. In Bangladesh unlike the more richer parts of the world; not only do the parents work but the kids work also sometimes at a very young age and sometimes they would steal various things because their parents are not getting the right amount of money that they should be getting.

Ford challenges police chief to release alleged drug video

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/mayor-rob-ford-looks-down-field-after-weekend-radio-play-
1.2350671

This article is about how the police have found a video and proof that mayor rob ford has been smoking crack.
I feel that if the Mayor is smoking crack they should find someone else to take over the job because having the mayor; A very important person in Toronto. He has to make decisions that reflect on the city. If he's smoking crack and getting high he's not only breaking the law but he's being very irresponsible. Even before this whole situation started he's been hated on. So i highly think that one they should release the video if they haven't already because it will show the citizens of Toronto who their Mayor actually is.
