To find out more, visit MyBC Weekly World News by Risa Dimond Managing Editor In Havana, Cuba, 81-year-old Fidel Castro has retired as the president of Cuba. His younger brother, Raul has taken over. Fidel had undergone emergency intestinal surgery in 2006 and Raul has been acting as president since. After 49 years in power, the parliament vote ended Fidel’s presidential position in the communist country. This transition ran smoothly while the U.S. lobbied for a “transition to democracy.” CondoleezzaRice criticized Raul’s rise into power saying that Cuban’s should have the right “to vote democratically for their own leaders.” The New York City Philharmonic is played a concert in Pyongyang, North Korea. This unprecedented event has evoked many strong opinions worldwide. One side of the debate is those who think the Philhamonic is dignifying the Kim Jong 11 administration. The other side of the debate says that the North Korea performance, which will be broadcast around the globe, serves as a cultural bridge and music as a universal language will encourage and spread world peace. Four hostages that were being held by Columbia’s Fare rebels were released. The four ex-members of Columbia’s congress were among 40 hostages being held for years by the Fare rebels. The deal to release these hostages was secured by Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s president. The Fare rebels have wanted to exchange the high-profile hostages for hundreds of jailed guerrillas. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has stayed firm against the Fare, which is regarded as a terrorist group and wants to help free several presumed hundred hostages that are held for ransom helping fund the rebel force. k Filed CNckstr Tepfyaki SahdwFdi BM IHid r HWIiiHf tt: IIEV*» COLIW EIH HT el
