TEACHERS PROTEST
More than 1 hundred people were injured in clashes between protesters and police in Curitiba. Teachers marched to oppose a change in state pensions. Police fired tear gas at protesters who approached the Parana state legislative assembly where a vote was being held to change teacher’s state pensions to a cost sharing program. Despite protests, the changes to the state pension system were passed. 

BALTIMORE PROTESTS SPREAD
People in New York city and Washington DC have protested a curfew in Baltimore. The curfew was put in place after riots following the death of a black man. Freddie Gray died from a spinal injury sustained during police arrest. Smaller protests occurred in other cities throughout the US. The recent protests are the latest wave of public reaction to use of lethal police force against black people in the US.

EXECUTION ALLEGATIONS
North Korean leader Kim J ong-un has allegedly ordered the execution of fifteen officials this year. A South Korean spy agency has claimed that Kim ordered the execution of officials who objected to or challenged his authority inside. The North Korean regime has repeatedly accused people of espionage, corruption, bribery, spying or treason. 

IRAN SANCTIONS
The US Senate has rejected an attempt to make lifting US sanctions on Iran dependent on President Barack Obama certifying that Iran is not supporting acts of terrorism against Americans. A handful of Republicans joined Senate Democrats in rejecting the proposed amendment, which was offered by Republicans. It was rejected 54 to 45. Obama considers tougher restrictions a threat to ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers.
