First up, President Obama is wrapping up four days' meetings with other world leaders, started last Friday as (annual) two-day gathering of the G8. This is a group of eight powerful countries to get together every year to discuss global issues. Its members are the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and Canada. President Obama hosted this year's meeting as the presidential country residents at Camp David. The leaders talked about (food issues) in Africa, political issues in Italy and Iran's controversial nuclear program. The main focus of this meeting was on the global economies, specifically on the financial struggles happening around Europe.

As the Europe is on crisis and it's the third year, we thought to shift this G8 summit toward the strategy that President Obama has been advocating for some time focusing not only on government's spending cuts, on budget cuts but also on economic growth and creating jobs something that is allured many yields-own nations for some time now. President Obama has eyed very much on the crisis there during this (election) year as it threatens to affect the fragile (economic recovery) here in the US.

After the G8 the US president headed to Chicago for a NATO meeting that started yesterday and runs to today. The leaders of more than fifty countries were at this conference which is primarily about the war in Afghanistan.

At this meeting the leaders are expected to work on the plan for how security in Afghanistan and will shift from NATO forces to Afghan troops. They are mapping out the time frame and looking at who will pay for the increase number of Afghan forces a little take to (secure) the country. Well, the NATO members are working on that inside. World protesters have been gathering outside the conference. And five men have been arrested in connection with the alleged terror plot in Chicago. Police said there are no imminent threats to the world leaders at the NATO meeting.

Chen Guangcheng is a Chinese human rights activist. But he's not in China any more. On Saturday, Chen, his wife and his two children arrived in the United States. You may remember these names from reports we gave you last month when Chen took (shelter) at the US embassy in Beijing after his escape from house arrest. That caused some attention between the United States and China. People's name was in New York when Chen Guangcheng arrived there Saturday night.

Chen arrived here in New York University, Washington Square Village is his new home now. Came here by a van from New York Airport in neighboring New Jersey , Chen was escorted from the van and approached the microphones to cheer on lookers who screamed “welcome to the USA.” He's been through a lot and he was grateful.

After much (turbulence) I have come out of Shandong. This is thanks to the assistance of many friends.

He thanks to the US (embassy). He thanks to Chinese government for come straight in handling the matter. But he's very worried about relatives back home. And he three times made the point that Chinese government should lead up to promises to respect the lives of his family members.

As we see, as tradition in Shandong may not have been the bitter and my rights to practice law have been curbed and we hope to see in the future a thorough investigation into these events.

This human rights activist to escape house arrest by scaling wall is seeking refuge in the US embassy in Beijing. Now on everyone tried to get along.

I believe that no matter how difficult the environment, nothing is impossible as long as you put your heart to it.

Chen is going to be a fellow studying here with a lot of departments in New York University likely to be an interview of the days ahead. And he is going to stay concerned about family's back at home. And for now, of what was used diplomatic affair.
