Poster reads: (English) "The Illegal Alien ID dies in New Haven, July 24, 2007" STORYLINE: The mayor of a Connecticut City on Tuesday launched a contentious ID card scheme for illegal immigrants, sparking a vocal protest from some local residents who are concerned about the effects it will have on their job prospects and way of life. John DeStefano has embraced illegal immigrants as an important part of New Haven's economic and social fabric. The city of 125,000 already prohibits police from asking people about their immigration status. DeStefano launched the programme to provide illegal immigrants with identity cards that will enable them to open bank accounts and give them access to many city services. Marvin, originally from Honduras, was one of 250 people who applied for an ID card on Tuesday in New Haven. He told AP Television that he feels much better now that he has the card. "I'm more comfortable now because I have an ID here in New Haven, and that's the place that I live for 15 years, so it's great you know, it's great just to have it, I have my family here, my house and everything, so it's good, I feel much better." This port city is about one third white, one third black and one third Hispanic, with an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 illegal immigrants, according to New Haven officials. New Haven has long been a destination for immigrants drawn to jobs in factories making guns, machine tools and rubber. DeStefano said the introduction of ID cards is "something that makes sense for New Haven." "Service to one another in communities to help one another, more than waving an American flag, defines the spirit of our American soul," he said. But protester Elice Marciano claims it will take "American jobs away from American citizens". Proponents of the card said the card would make it easier to open a bank account, get a library card, use banks and learn English. The city has a history of embracing social change from the days when African captives aboard the slave ship Amistad won their freedom in the 1840s after they were jailed in New Haven. During the 1960s, the city was a hotbed for civil rights protests and the site of a trial involving members of the radical Black Panther group. New Haven is the home to Ivy-league Yale University.

Wide shot of embassy, pan down to former "Braceros" (contract workers) with Mexican flag STORYLINE: Over a thousand former contract workers gathered outside the US embassy in Mexico City on Thursday demanding they be paid wages withheld nearly forty years ago. Known as "Braceros" (Spanish for 'strong-arms') they say the US government kept back ten percent of their wages while they were there as part of a guest worker programme. The US government denies this, saying they passed the money on to the Mexican government who are responsible for not paying the former workers. In 1942, 300-thousand contract workers were hired to assist the US in response to the depleted national workforce caused by World War II. By 1966 some five (m) million Mexicans had taken part in the scheme. Under a bilateral agreement between the US and the Government of Mexico, forced savings accounts were created for the Braceros. A portion of the Braceros' wages was deposited into each account, . The purpose of these accounts was to ensure that the Braceros would return home to Mexico upon termination of their contracts. But many say they never received this money.

Banner asking for information about missing baby 15. Close up of photo and data of missing baby STORYLINE: Six Salvadoran children helping police unravel their alleged abduction by child smugglers sent investigators out for hamburgers, pizza and Coca-Cola and happily watched Mexican TV when they weren't providing details about their captivity. Local television showed footage of the five boys and one girl, ages 7 to 11, lounging on the carpet at a Mexico City children's shelter in good spirits. They have been getting psychological counselling and talking to police investigators about the suspected child-trafficking ring. They were found on Monday being held at a house in a seedy neighborhood on the outskirts of Mexico City in "deplorable conditions." Meanwhile, Mexican police said they are investigating possible corruption in the national migration agency that may have allowed two Mexican women to smuggle dozens of such children into the United States two or three times a week during the past year. Mexico's federal police on Monday detained two Mexican women at Tijuana's airport just moments after they allegedly smuggled six Salvadoran children to California. Mexican police arrested Estela Barajas, 27, and her aunt, Virginia Barajas, 43, at the Tijuana international airport on Monday after they turned six children over to someone else then immediately booked a return flight to Mexico City. The two said they had gotten the children from a Guatemalan woman nicknamed "the traveller." Police also arrested Estela Barajas's husband, Abel Bartolo, who was found at a house in a seedy neighborhood on the outskirts of Mexico City with six other Salvadoran children. Mexican investigators believe that the women, along with one of their husbands and two suspects in Los Angeles, could form part of an international ring that has smuggled as many as 100 Salvadoran children into the United States. U-S officials said while they are investigating all possibilities, they have indications so far that the women were trying to reunite the children with family members and may have been relatives themselves. They also said that the women were traveling with only three children, not six, and that their ages were 4 months, 18 months and 3-years-old. Mexican officials said the six children were between the ages of 6 and 12. The six children rescued from the house in Mexico were placed temporarily in government-run children's shelters and have spent the past couple of days in interviews with investigators from the department's organised crime unit. The children, five boys and one girl, had been badly fed, had respiratory and intestinal infections and weren't allowed outside. The children told investigators that their captors had stolen their clothes and other possessions and hit them when they misbehaved. They didn't resist leaving with the adults, however, because they were told they were going to be reunited with family in the United States. Because some of the children are undergoing psychological treatment, social service officials did not allow reporters to visit them on Friday.

On October 12 1972, Eduardo Strauch - then a student, now an architect and father of four - was in a plane crash along with 44 students, family members and friends. Last week, a Mexican hiker found several items including a wallet, a roll of film, cash, identity papers and a jacket, just a few metres from the crash site. The students were members of the Uruguayan Old Christian Rugby team, flying to Santiago, Chile. Of the 45 people on the flight, sixteen survived 72 days on the mountain. They were only rescued when two of 16 went searching for help and found a Chilean man on horseback. The Mexican mountain climber handed the items to Edgardo Barrios, owner of a hotel resort in Mendoza, Argentina. Barrios informed Strauch of the discovery. Another of the survivors, Alvaro Mangino, was near the place were the objects were discovered and was the one to return them to his friend Eduardo. The tragedy became known to a global audience through "Alive, The Story of The Andes Survivors" - an account by the British novelist Piers Paul Read - and the ensuing Hollywood treatment.

Mid view of two of the kidnapped people being held in the house STORYLINE: Police raided a house on Friday outside Mexico City, capturing two alleged kidnappers and rescuing three people, including an 8-year-old girl, who had been held for more than two months. The dramatic morning raid, widely aired on Mexican television, comes as the Federal Agency of Investigation, the country's equivalent to the FBI, is being scrutinised for connections to drug traffickers and a video showing the killing of an alleged drug hit man. Federal police officials took reporters on a tour through the house's filthy rooms where the kidnapping victims were given only a bucket to go to the bathroom. Investigators also seized guns, fake IDs, and titles to stolen cars. Police detained Israel Vallarta, a Mexican, and Marie Louise Cassez Florence, a French woman, according to a news release from the Federal Attorney General's Office. The two belong to a gang called "The Zodiac," tied to at least ten kidnappings and one murder, the office said. "I didn't know anything," she told reporters. Cassez Florence told Mexican national television network Televisa she was simply dating the Vallarta and didn't know the people at the house had been kidnapped. Vallarta said he had nothing to do with the kidnappings. The victims included a woman and her 8-year-old daughter who were abducted while walking to the girl's school outside Mexico City. They were held along with a man who was kidnapped in Chalco, a poor community on the outskirts of Mexico City. The kidnappers had asked for one million pesos (100,000 dollars US) from the man's family and threatened to cut off a finger if they did not pay, the government news agency Notimex reported. It was unclear how much they had sought for the release of the other two. Mexico overtook Colombia this year as the world leader in reported kidnappings, according to Mexico's Citizen Council for Public Safety, a private-sector think tank. Kidnapping is seen as a booming business, especially in and around the capital. Most involve forcing victims with ATM cards to withdraw their daily cash limit, then holding them for another day or two to repeat the process.

Some 500 people lost their lives that year in drug related violence.

There have been some incidents, some of them of some concern, but they are the exception to the rule, and the authorities are in control." 26. Mid of Calderon and wife Margarita Zavala posing for media after voting STORYLINE: Mexico's voters appeared poised on Sunday to bring the old guard back to power, a dozen years after the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party lost the presidential seat it had held for more than seven decades. The party, known by its acronym PRI, led by telegenic former Mexico State Governor Enrique Pena Nieto, has held a strong lead throughout the campaign, and also appears likely to retake many seats in the two houses of Congress. PRI has been bolstered by voter fatigue with a sluggish economy and the sharp escalation of a drug war that has killed roughly 50,000 Mexicans over the past six years. Hoping for an upset are leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, whose narrow loss in Mexico's last election led to charges of voter fraud and weeks of massive protests, and the candidate of the ruling National Action Party, Josefina Vazquez Mota, the first woman ever nominated for the presidency by a major party in Mexico. The president is elected for a single six-year term and cannot stand for re-election. Mexicans are also electing 500 members of the lower house of Congress and 128 senators. In addition, voters will elect Mexico City's mayor and governors in the states of Chiapas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, Tabasco and Yucatan. Election observers said that Sunday's vote appeared to be going well. "We trust that by the end of the day, the Mexican electoral system will produce a trustworthy result, a result that will generate certainty and assurance about the will of the Mexican people," said Cesar Gaviria, head of the electoral observer mission from the Organisation of American States. All of the parties are accusing rivals of emulating the traditional PRI tactic of offering voters money, food or benefits in return for votes. Lopez Obrador's Democratic Revolution Party said Pena Nieto's campaign has handed supporters prepaid money cards worth nearly 5.2 (m) million US dollars (71 (m) million pesos). PRI activists, meanwhile, have published photographs of truckloads of handouts they say were given out by Democratic Revolution Party backers. But electoral officials have repeatedly insisted that outright fraud is almost impossible under the country's elaborate, costly electoral machinery. Current president Felipe Calderon and his wife, First Lady Margarita Zavala, cast their votes in Mexico City. Speaking afterwards, Calderon expressed his satisfaction with the way the voting was being conducted. "We have reports about the setting up of polling stations around the country, which has been peaceful in the main. There have been some incidents, some of them of some concern, but they are the exception to the rule, and the authorities are in control." At some of the special polling stations set up in Mexico City for voters to cast ballots away from their hometowns, people complained that the limited number of ballots allotted had run out just a few hours after the station opened. Several voters complained that the polling station opened 51 minutes late, and said election officials there were disorganised. "I can't understand why this is so slow. The Federal Electoral Institute (body which organises the elections) costs us taxpayers so much money and yet gives such a bad service," said one disgruntled voter. Meanwhile the students' movement #yosoy132, which in the last two months has been demonstrating against presidential hopeful Enrique Pena Nieto of the PRI, staged another demonstration at Mexico's main central square, the Zocalo. The #yosoy132 movement argues that the PRI has not changed since its days in power. "From today, July 1st, when we elect a new president, young people, and people in general, are going to be wide awake, watching carefully what is going on," said one of the protesters.
