4) This week's summary

of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

Two nights of violent riots broke out in northern Paris suburbs after two North African teens were killed when their motorcycle collided with a police car.

AUDIO INFORMATION:

"Between The Lines" is a half-hour syndicated radio news magazine that each

week features a summary of under-reported news stories and interviews with

activists and journalists who offer progressive perspectives on

international, national and regional political, economic and social issues.

Because "Between The Lines" is independent of all publications, media

networks or political parties, we are able to bring a diversity of voices to

the airwaves generally ignored or marginalized by the major media. For more
