Hi, good morning, I'm Brooke Baldwin here for Betty.
And hello to you all. I'm TJ Holmes, glad you could be here; look now at some of our top stories.
Vice President Joe Biden making some news with some comments about Russia in an interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal. Biden said Russia has a withering economy and it's (quote) "clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable" (end quote). The White House released the statement saying the President and Vice President believe Russia will work with us, again not out of weakness but out of national interest.(www.hxen.net)
In just a couple of hours, Alaska will have a new governor. Sarah Palin will officially hand over her title and her responsibilities to Lt. Governor Sean Parnell today. Just yesterday folks in Anchorage held this farewell picnic for her. You can see a governor, soon will be the former governor serving up some hot-dogs, hamburgers. Palin is resigning a year before the end of her term.
Exiled Honduran President Manuel Zelaya back at his country's border yesterday. He didn't leave the Nicaraguan side like he did on Friday, just stepped in there for a second on Friday. He did go to the border and fired up his supporters there, left there about 20 minutes this time.
Yeah, now he is back out. Zelaya was forced out by a military coup just about a month ago. And the US State Department is worrying that his border visits could lead to violence. But it is also bringing him to Washington for talks for Tuesday.
When do we want it?
Now!
What do we want?
Democracy!
Now we saw this playing out across six continents yesterday, dozens of cities as well including Washington DC. Protesters uniting all over the world against the common call which is Iran's treatment of demonstrators after last month's disputed elections. Many people wore green yesterday, as symbolizing Iran's opposition movement and the opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Iranian authorities used force to stop protests last month. Some protesters were killed, hundreds still behind bars.
How about this story this morning? A second Chicago area cemetery's under investigation after a human bone was found just lying on the ground. The Cooke County Sheriff's Office says it doesn't know if the discovery is a sign of broader problem at the Mount Glenwood Cemetery. Just days ago, according to the Chicago Tribune, three people sued the cemetery alleging "unauthorized tempering with grave sites". Earlier this month, authorities charged four workers at Burr Oak Cemetery with digging up hundreds of bodies, then reselling the plots.
