#1: A man pleads guilty for kidnapping and raping a young 14 year old girl. The day of his trial he admits to kidnapping her and raping her in an underground bunker. The girl was missing for about a week and the way she was rescued was through a text message. The man is looking at a life time in prison for what he has done.

Opinion
I think it is good that he admitted to what he had done. Most criminals still try and get out of things no matter what they have to do. I think it is sad that peopel actually do that to people and think that they can get away with it. That man needs to be in prison for life no matter if he admitted it or not.

#2: Tony Barretto a former body guard to britney spears has come to confess against her. He became her body guard after she got out of rehab and then he only worked for her for 4 months. He is afraid for the children and thinks she is using drugs wrongly and using nudity for the trial with her ex. An attorney just recently quit being her attorney due to her performance on the VMA's. Nobody wants to defend britney anymore they are done with it. They know she has problems.

Opinion
I hate how britney has fallen apart and gone down hill. She has two children and those kids should be the world to her so she should do nothing to put them in harm. People know that she has had problems with drugs and I wouldnt be suprised if those came back into the picture after what happened to her recently. Then I think that is wrong that she is using nudity for the trial with her ex. Famous people think that they can do anything and get away with it but they really cant and i like how people are actually realizing that.

International
#1: A man in Japan just turned 112 and plans to live forever. He was classified as the oldest man after Emiliano Mercado Del Toro of Puerto Rico died in January after turning 115. The man is very healthy and still has a lot of years on him.

Opinion
I think that is crazy that someone can live that long and be able to live even longer. I mean wouldnt you want to be gone because you cant be as lively as you want to be. That age is meant to be in the hospital all the time and not having any fun but it is better than being a vegetable.

#2: A man put belgium up for sell on ebay. There was no price attatched to it and some guy just posted it because of political problems. He said that it is hard to get attention for belgium and so he thought by putting it on ebay would get attention for the country. The guy warned people that they would be in national debt for 300 billion if they bought it.

Opinion
I think that is dumb that someone would put a country on sale for attention. Cant you get into trouble for doing that, wouldnt they get put in jail. Or would it be ok cause it is for some political thing. I just overall think that it is stupid and no one no matter what should put a country or state or anything on sale for attention. People just need to go to the people who run things and try and get the things changed that way.
