Hello, everyone, thank you for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. There is a new town of talks between striking auto workers and representatives from two of the big three carmakers. The strike is now entering the third full day. Todays talks are expected to be with ford and General Motors. The uaw said it had, quoting now, reasonably productive talks end quote, when it met with ford yesterday.

A powerful bond with the people. libyans don t look to the deposit for their jobs and rights and safety, they look to their tribe. can they transcend tribal loyalty and build a nation? that was poised in the movie lawrence of arabia . so long as they fight tribe against tribe will they be a t silly little people, barber rouse and cruel as you are.
