It is a place at once thought of for its destitution, crime, and poverty -- where a bitter conflict has claimed the lives of more than 35,000 Mexicans. Photographer David Rochkind captures Mexico\'s seedy drug trade in a brutally humanistic light in a series of images collected in his book, \'Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit.\'  His photographs capture a rugged landscape thrown into a vicious war on the trade, and the people who have been affected by or succumbed to the overwhelming influence of the drug trade.  Mr Rochkind, who graduated from the University of Michigan and is currently based out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, traveled to Mexico beginning in 2007 to photograph the series, shooting cartel members, addicts, inmates, and communities torn apart by the drug war.  These images are only a small sampling of the collection or reportage appearing in his book.  Blog :  Facebook :

Latest violence in the Central African Republic | CAR unrest Kills Dozens

Dozens of people have been killed, including six peacekeepers from Chad, in the latest violence in the Central African Republic, officials say.
The peacekeepers were attacked by a Christian militia known as anti-balaka in the capital Bangui on Wednesday.
At least 40 other people have also died since Wednesday, Red Cross officials said.
African Union (AU) and French troops are battling to end a Christian-Muslim conflict that has engulfed CAR.
The AU has nearly 4,000 troops in CAR. France, the former colonial power, has also deployed 1,600 soldiers to help restore order.
Militias from the Christian and Muslim groups have been involved in attacks and counter-attacks since Michel Djotodia installed himself as the country\'s first Muslim ruler in March, ousting then-President Francois Bozize, who came from the majority Christian population.
Many Christians accuse the Chadian government of being allied to the Seleka rebel group which propelled Mr Djotodia to power, while Muslims allege that French forces are siding with Christian militia.
Tension high
The circumstances surrounding the death of the Chadians remain unclear.
AU spokesman Eloi Yao said: \

Israel buried former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at his family farm 
on Monday, celebrating the military achievements of a man seen as a war 
hero at home but as a war criminal by many in the Arab world.

Eulogised first in a ceremony in Jerusalem, and later in the green fields of his 
southern estate, a stream of speakers hailed a life entwined with that of his country, while gently alluding to the controversies that also defined his career.

Sharon, 85, died on Saturday after spending the last eight years of his life 
motionless in a hospital bed, pitched into a coma by a stroke and far from 
the public gaze.

VICE was invited to embed with South Sudanese government forces pushing north to retake Bor from the rebels, but the rebels were lying in wait for us along the road, waiting to strike back.

It is a place at once thought of for its destitution, crime, and poverty -- where a bitter conflict has claimed the lives of more than 35,000 Mexicans. Photographer David Rochkind captures Mexico's seedy drug trade in a brutally humanistic light in a series of images collected in his book, 'Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit.' His photographs capture a rugged landscape thrown into a vicious war on the trade, and the people who have been affected by or succumbed to the overwhelming influence of the drug trade. Mr Rochkind, who graduated from the University of Michigan and is currently based out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, traveled to Mexico beginning in 2007 to photograph the series, shooting cartel members, addicts, inmates, and communities torn apart by the drug war. These images are only a small sampling of the collection or reportage appearing in his book. Blog : Facebook :

Latest violence in the Central African Republic | CAR unrest Kills Dozens For more Latest and Breaking News Headlines SUBSCRIBE to http://www.youtube.com/user/24X7BreakingNEWS Dozens of people have been killed, including six peacekeepers from Chad, in the latest violence in the Central African Republic, officials say. The peacekeepers were attacked by a Christian militia known as anti-balaka in the capital Bangui on Wednesday. At least 40 other people have also died since Wednesday, Red Cross officials said. African Union (AU) and French troops are battling to end a Christian-Muslim conflict that has engulfed CAR. The AU has nearly 4,000 troops in CAR. France, the former colonial power, has also deployed 1,600 soldiers to help restore order. Militias from the Christian and Muslim groups have been involved in attacks and counter-attacks since Michel Djotodia installed himself as the country's first Muslim ruler in March, ousting then-President Francois Bozize, who came from the majority Christian population. Many Christians accuse the Chadian government of being allied to the Seleka rebel group which propelled Mr Djotodia to power, while Muslims allege that French forces are siding with Christian militia. Tension high The circumstances surrounding the death of the Chadians remain unclear. AU spokesman Eloi Yao said: "Yesterday [Wednesday] the city was in total chaos and this chaos lasted until the end of the night. Today we are trying to understand what happened." Heavy gunfire in Bangui had caused panic among civilians, who fled to the airport, which is protected by peacekeepers. "Around 40 bodies have been recovered for the moment, and first aid has been given to around 30 people wounded," Red Cross spokesman David Pierre Marquet said. As fighting subsided, French troops went out on patrol. French military spokesman Col Gilles Jaron said tension remained high in Bangui. Two days of violence earlier this month left about 1,000 people dead, according to Amnesty International.

"WHAT IS THE DEMOCRACY?" Thailand political crisis 2013 is another example of Dictatorial Democracy countries in this world. This Dictatorship is run by Thaksin Regime and his sister's government, Yingluck Shinawatra Administration. Although they claimed that they came from election and people should have no rights to overthrow them, millions of massive Thai people disagreed and were out on the streets risking their lives as they could not stand them to corrupt the country anymore. Whether the peaceful protests of millions of people can overthrow a shameless government is remained to be seen. We fully support the bravery Thai people and hope Thailand can reset and reform before the next election. January 3, 2014.

Israel buried former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at his family farm on Monday, celebrating the military achievements of a man seen as a war hero at home but as a war criminal by many in the Arab world. Eulogised first in a ceremony in Jerusalem, and later in the green fields of his southern estate, a stream of speakers hailed a life entwined with that of his country, while gently alluding to the controversies that also defined his career. Sharon, 85, died on Saturday after spending the last eight years of his life motionless in a hospital bed, pitched into a coma by a stroke and far from the public gaze. euronews: the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe! http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a euronews is available in 14 languages: http://eurone.ws/17moBCU In English: Website: http://www.euronews.com/news Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/euronews.fans Twitter: http://twitter.com/euronews Google+: http://google.com/+euronews VKontakte: http://vk.com/en.euronews
