  1. Some baseball players from Cuba want to play in MLB, but always have some type of trouble getting to the USA. The players from Cuba would do anything to get out of their country to get into the USA. In 2011, Yoenis Cespedes, a cuban baseball player for the Mets decided he wanted to leave Cuba and come to USA to play baseball. He and his family fled the country on a boat in the middle of the night. Ever since last year when USA and Cuba announced they would have a closer relationship with each other, the Obama administration and MLB have been trying to figure out ways that would be easier for cuban baseball players to enter the USA. To allow the MLB to have business with Cuba they have to talk about new rules and have procedures passed by the Treasury and State Departments.

They only addressed each other as "Mr." Their were many many pictures of the twos historic hand shake. They meet in a third party country Singapore. Every little move they made was scrutinized. Many people protested this meeting.

  10. The United states voted against a U.N resolution. The U.S decided to cast a no ballot because the text did not show the spirit of the enemies. Last year, the vote count was about 188-2. Israel is the only country to stand by the U.S.

  18. On Saturday, the presidents of China and Taiwan shock hands. Both presidents are attempting to fix the gap between China and Taiwan, after 66 years. The tension occurred as a result of China's civil war. The communist party took control of mainland China, while followers of Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan. China was later known as the People's Republic of China and Taiwan took the name of Republic of China, enveloping the idea of democracy. Chinese president Xi Jinping and Taiwanese president Ma-Ying-jeou met in Singapore to discuss this deal. The presidents are attempting to fix this relationship repaired within the course of 3 months. Leading the presidential poll in Taiwan, female candidate believes China and Taiwan should stay two countries, instead of joining together to create a bond.

  21. The U.S. and Cuba are working together to try and stop the ebola virus in the western Africa region. a total of 4,877 people have been killed and 9,936 people have been diagnosed with it. Cuba and the U.S. haven't worked together for some years and maybe this could help strengthen the relationship we have with them.

  23. At the fourteenth annual Shangri-La Dialogue on Asian security, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter calls on China to halt its controversial land reclamation efforts in the South China Sea, saying that the United States opposes “any further militarization” of the disputed territory. Ahead of the conference, U.S. officials say that images from U.S. naval surveillance provide evidence that China is placing military equipment on a chain of artificial islands, despite Beijing's claims that construction is mainly for civilian purposes.
