hey guys. I have an assignment due in a few weeks regarding news from other countries or news from the US that has an effect on the global scale. I'm tired of scouring local newspapers for stuff, so I just wanted to ask for some help from the internet's finest - Zilty co. If there is any news from your country that you consider to be important in the cultural, environmental, or economic realms, please feel free to tell me about it here. links are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I heard Janet Jackson has a teenaged daughter after all of these years. So that is pretty significant globally.

I guess I should add that I expected as much, no hard feelings really. :D
but if anyone decides to be serious, news articles are what I'm actually after, not one-liners. :) thanks.

Maybe when I'm back from my friends birthday I'll dwell more, but now all you need to know, that we had both parliamentary and presidencial elections during a period of one month. Both were won by xenophobic morons. The chaiman of the winning party and the president are TWINS. Yes, TWINS!!!!! Jaroslaw and Lech Kaczynski. Their populistic approach may have heavy negative influence on the stability of UN. In addition to that, the Prime Minister looks like the actor who played the most cluel character in the history of Polish cinema in the 90s (He played the role of Gerhard in Dług/The Debt by Krzyszto Krauze - a really excellent movie). The President of the Seym (lower house of out Parliament), as far as I remember, once said that children who are beaten by their parents grow up to be more valuable members of the society.
More later

I never said that, I asked for US news that has an effect on a global scale because my professor specifically asked that students not use domestic US news.
I also was joking, as should be noted with "no hard feelings really"
