CNN News:金特会地点可能选在板门店 美亚利桑那州教师结束罢工

AZUZ: It looks like the demilitarized zone, the heavily armed border that separates North Korea and South Korea may be the place where North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump will hold their historic meeting. That could take place late this month. It would be the first time that sitting leaders from these two countries ever held a face- to-face meeting.
President Trump says he likes the location because if things work out there, a celebration could be held on the site instead of in a third party country.
But some U.S. officials reportedly think the meeting should be held somewhere else like Singapore, because skeptics are concerned that holding it at the DMZ would put North Korea's leader at an advantage.
The U.S. is an ally of South Korea. It has been since the Korean War. There have been several signs of better relations between those two allies and their rival North Korea. For instance, the North and South had promised to silence the loud speakers they have at the DMZ. Both sides have used those to blast propaganda and music across the border. South Korea has taken theirs down.
Also, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who's now a member of President Trump's legal team, says North Korea agreed to release three American prisoners yesterday. One of them had been held in North Korea since 2015. The other two were arrested last year.
But when we produced this show, the U.S. government had not confirmed that the prisoners were being released and their families said they hadn't heard anything yet either. But the Trump administration said releasing the prisoners would be a sign of goodwill by North Korea.

AZUZ: Classes across Arizona are scheduled to be back in session Friday following a six-day walkout by many of the state's public school teachers.
They were protesting for better pay and more funding for new textbooks, school support staff and upgraded technology.
And that's what was in the bill that Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed on Thursday morning. It included a 20 percent increase in teacher pay over the next three years and additional funding to make up for some of the cuts to education that took place back in a recession. It didn't include everything teachers wanted, like an amendment that would reduce class sizes in Arizona.
Still, the National Education Association says Arizona's public school teachers are returning to class. They teach 1.1 million public school students across the state.
