Summary: Members of the U.N. Mission in Darfur were on their way to check out reports of recent violence in the northern part of the province when they came under heavy fire from automatic weapons and mortars. The peacekeepers returned fire, but one of their members died and three more were wounded. At U.N. headquarters in New York, Security Council members condemned the attack and demanded that Sudanese officials "swiftly investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice."This conflict has led to international war-crimes charges against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his defense minister. In 2011, a peace agreement was signed between the Sudanese government and one rebel movement with international support, but others refused.

Opinion: I think Africa is very dangerous and has a lot of conflicts and it even results the international damage. U.N, as an organization of promoting world peace, we the countries should cooperate each other and prevent more conflicts being occurred. It is really unjust action to leave the peacekeeper die and Sudan people die of conflicts.

Summary: On Tuesday, In Pakistan, 14-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot by the Taliban on her way home from school on a bus. For the girls who live in the poor country, education is their ticket to a better future: for themselves, their families and their entire communities. However, unfortunately, girls around the world have also shared that how pursuing an education can be dangerous, The schools can create harassment and violence from teachers or the dangers they encounter as they walk to school.

Opinion: Today, as we celebrate the first United Nations International Day of the Girl by marking the progress that has been made for girls, we should keep in mind that we need to redouble our effort to create a future in which all girls can safely receive an education and reach their full potential. The benefits of education for girls are undeniable. But until we can ensure that schools are places of learning, rather than places of danger, girls will be held back. When girls are educated—and safe—they, along with our entire societies, will flourish.

Connecting with the viewer: 'Romney was able to out Obama Obama'

By Dan Merica, CNN

October 4, 2012 -- Updated 1756 GMT (0156 HKT)

During the 2008 presidential debates against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Obama regularly looked into the camera when he spoke and countered the attacks of his Republican challenger. That debate style directly contrasted the way Obama appeared on Wednesday in Denver.

At one point, Romney directly told viewers that "virtually everything he [President Obama] just said about my tax plan is inaccurate."

"So if the tax plan he described were a tax plan I was asked to support, I'd say absolutely not," Romney said. "I'm not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut. What I've said is, I won't put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit."

Again, as Romney was answering, Obama seemed to be taking notes. Following Romney's statement, Obama shot back, accusing Romney of tossing out his plan before the debate.
