This Month's World News

Nov 3  China is talking about a transformation from being a large producer to a large consumer. This means an increase in imports, which will help the world economy.

Nov 3  In China it is announced that light rail trains will be delivered to the city of Ismir in Turkey in April 2012.

Nov 4  In the U.S. the political commentator Glen Beck is gaining a lot of attention. His style is theatrical and his language riles. It is the language of victimhood. Today, for example, he says that "the mother of all government programs is being SHOVED on Americans." He is describing a democratic process: Congress working on a health care bill.

Nov 7  The weight of international approval affects Madagascar. Failing to win international backing, Andry Rajoelina agrees to form a power-sharing goverment with Marc Ravalomanana, overthrown by a military coup back in March. An election for president is scheduled for next year.
