State TV and radio signals were cut early Wednesday, hours after the government closed the Hellenic Broadcasting Corp., ERT, and fired its 2,500 workers. Greece’s two largest labor unions called a 24-hour general strike for Thursday amid escalating protests against a decision to close state-run TV and radio that threw the country’s conservative-led government into political crisis nearly a year after taking office.

In this picture taken on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, Park Seong-hyeok, 18, reads a book at his dormitory of the Hangyeore middle-high school in Anseong, south of Seoul, South Korea. Park was 7 when he was taken from his parents and sent to a juvenile detention center. Park’s family was within sight of freedom back in 2003, when they were arrested by Chinese authorities on the Mongolian border and sent back to Pyongyang. After a few months, he managed to escape after his uncle bribed the guards. With the help of relatives, he made it to South Korea. But he assumes his parents, who he has not seen in 10 years, remain imprisoned in the north.

The immigration bill may sound simple because a bipartisan group of eight senators drafted it; the White House, organized labor and the Chamber of Commerce all support it; and many Republican political strategists want to show a more welcoming face to Hispanic voters. But simple it won't be. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
