2 Costa Rica fans stabbed, another hit with a bottle in Plaza de la Democracia while watching Netherlands match

Date:2014/07/05


Summary : The Public Security Ministry (MSP) released a statement Saturday evening reporting that Red Cross responders attended to three victims from a fight that broke out in the capital’s Plaza de la Democracia. Two victims were injured from a stabbing and a third received treatment after being hit with a bottle. Authorities still don’t know what started the brawl that interrupted an otherwise peaceful gathering.

Persuasive : Costa Rica was one of the most spotlighted team in this World Cup. So their game in quarter-finals, lots of fans are gathered in capital's Plaza de la Democracia to cheer their national team. However, they start to fight in sudden, and 3 injuries are caused. They shouldn't have do such a thing like that.

Trade tops agenda for Germany's Angela Merkel on China trip

Angela Merkel in China

Summary : Merkel, chancellor of Germany, visited china. Trade will be the main priority during Merkel's visit, the chancellor having in tow a high-powered business delegation, which German media say includes Siemens, VW, Airbus, Lufthansa and Deutsche Bank. Also she discussed about Chinesses' human rights.

Persuasive : After the European Union as a whole, China is Germany's third-largest trading partner, behind the US at number two. This was the seventh visit for Merkel in China. But that number also shows just how hard it is to deal with the increasingly assertive Asian giant.

Summary : Israeli police officers savagely beating 15 years old Palestinian-American Tarek Abu Khdeir. He is cousin of Mohammad Abu Khdeir who was burnt alive in East Jerusalem. The video shows two officers striking the detainee, who was handcuffed and lying on the floor.

Persuasive : Israel and Palestine are still fighting in Gaza area. Their conflict is still under way. Israel polices argue that the boy was threatening them but he has no weapon and no willing to fight.
