In Mexico, leaders of a group of striking teachers say they’ve reached a tentative agreement that could end a lengthy standoff with the government. Under the deal, the state would remove blockades from Oaxaca’s downtown and raise teacher’s salaries for the first time in six years. The protesters have reportedly dropped a key demand for the immediate resignation of state Governor Ulises Ruiz. A spokesperson for the teachers said they’ll continue to seek Ruiz’s departure even if his resignation does not come as part of an agreement.
