News Brief: Camille had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - Russia Black Sea air crash: Pilot error blamed. We found Russia (where the flight took off from) in the world map packet and talked about this story (it appears the actual crash was in December, and this story was about the report on the reasons why it crashed). We also checked in about the weekend and what people were up to.
The next news brief was assigned to Patrick.
We also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):

For homework, you need to be continuing to work on your final project on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here is the information you need for that:
Let me know if you have any questions about what you need to do! Not long now until the end of the year!
