Police Raid Occupy L.A., Philly Two of America’s final big Occupy encampments have come down after police raids early Wednesday in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. About 200 people were arrested in L.A., where police brought in bomb-sniffing dogs and used a cherry-picker to remove protesters from trees. The L.A. encampment had been the largest in the country after New York's was dismantled. In Philadelphia, 40 protesters were arrested and two police officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Two million public-sector workers are set to go on a 24-hour strike against changes to the pension system. The government aims to make union members pay more and work longer to get their pensions. In what has been billed as the largest walkout in a generation, more than 1,000 demonstrations will rock the U.K., striking schools, hospitals, airports, and government offices. Up to 90 percent of schools may be closed because of teachers on strike, while hospitals have postponed non-emergency operations. Meanwhile, Downing Street has rejected the movement, saying that it will “achieve nothing.” Read it at BBC News DIPLOMACY 4.

Clinton said her intention is to assess recent reforms by the country’s ruling junta, including the release of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and other political protesters. "I will obviously be looking to determine for myself what the intention is of the current government with respect to continued reforms," said Clinton. Her plans include a dinner with Suu Kyi.

New Syracuse Victim May Step Forward A fourth person may step forward to accuse former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of child molestation, according to the New York Daily News.
