Policeman hit a woman

There was a moment of shocking police brutality at a street party in Philadelphia. Someone
threw what seemed to be water into the air, wetting several police officers.
They turned and saw a woman who was walking away. One officer thought she was responsible
and hit her in the face, knocking her to the ground.
The woman was taken to the police station.
The video of the incident has since gone viral and has been picked up by the Philadelphia police
department. They say they are investigating the policeman in the film who was a good policeman
before this happened.

Amazing attack by a leopard
Leopards are designed to hunt their prey. They may be instantly recognizable in a zoo but theyre
extremely hard to spot in the wild.
Sometimes, however, the prey comes to the leopard. A group of antelopes were scared and began
to run straight at the big cat who simply had to pick a moment.
South African photographers caught the incredible attack on camera after half an hour carefully
waiting for the leopard to make its move.

Animals in the water

Torrential rains and flooding threatened the lives of cattle and horses in Argentina. Local farmers
had to guide their cows, bulls and horses across a river to safety.
The animals swam and waded through the water. Some of them needed special assistance or even
rides on a boat.
Torrential rain caused river water levels to surge. The famous Iguazu Falls was closed to visitors.
The walkways and viewpoints were flooded.

Special box for babies

Some mums in South Korea are in a
difficult situation. They
cant look after their
newly born babies.
They put them into a
baby box.
The man who operates the baby box
understands the
mums situation. If you

which the mothers

leave with their new

babies, they say they
have nowhere to go
because of a new law.
He started his service for unwanted
babies three years
ago. The number went
up from around 5 a
month to about 14 in
September because
South Korea has a new

easy now.
The man is currently looking after 20
children aged between

Wall is in danger from developers who want to build luxury flats there.
For many years people wanted to destroy the wall. Now they feel that the wall should be left
standing. People say that it is a symbol of Berlin and it should stay there for historical reasons.
Demolition of the Wall was stopped for some time.

Dragon-boat race in China

If you enjoy England's Oxford and Cambridge Universities boat race, take a look at the Chinese
version. It was the start of China's national dragon-boat racing series in the most southern province
in China. There were 16 teams competing for provinces across the country. Teams of men and
women took part in the 200 and 500-meter sprints.
It is not easy to move a dragon-boat. The boat won't move, if you haven't trained the technique. But
when you train the special skills, you will do very well.

The world has new Pope

The world has a new pope. He is the first pope from Latin America and the first from outside Europe
since the 8th century. His name is Pope Francis. He is 76 years old and is known for living a very
simple life and travelling by bus. He lived in a small flat during his time in Buenos Aires and he
cooked for himself.
He was born into a middle class family of seven. His father was a railway worker. In the Vatican he is
expected to lead the church very strongly. It is necessary because of the child abuse scandals that
were in the church and the claims of financial corruption.

Helicopter helps a deer

The rescue of a deer and her baby trapped in ice was filmed by a Canadian biologist. The female
deer tried for hours to get on her feet on the ice. She wasnt able to do it. The biologist informed
specialists about the situation because the ice was too thin to try rescuing by foot.
People decided to use a helicopter to help the deer. The pilot used the air blown from the helicopter
to move the deer to land. When the deer reached the land, people helped her to get to her feet, and
then she walked away into the woods.

Ukrainian politicians fight again

Politicians in the Ukraine were fighting again. It was the first parliamentary meeting since the end of
February. One group of politicians in the parliament didnt like a speech made by the other group
and fists started to fly.
The fight started because one politician gave a speech in Russian. Millions in the Ukraine see
Russian as their mother tongue but others see it as something not polite. There have been a lot of
fights between politicians over this problem.

Mother and son need help

Mountains rescuers were looking for a 41-year-old mother and 17-year-old son who were lost in a
tent in the mountains in Wales. There was a snow storm and they needed help because their body
temperature was very low.
The mother and son were three thousand feet up when they were found without the right equipment
and not enough clothes on. They were moved to a point where they could be picked up by a
helicopter.
The mountains have already seen many deaths in similar situations. Rescuers say if youre going up
there, go prepared with the right equipment and the right skills.
