French forces say they have entered Kidal in the north of Mali,the last major town they have yet to secure in their drive against Islamist militants. French forces now control Kidal airport after a number of aircraft,including helicopters, landed there last night. Islamist militants were reported to have already left the town and it was unclear who was in charge.France--- the former colonial power inMali---launched a military operation this month after Islamist militants appeared to be threatening the south. French army spokesman confirms that "French troops were deployed overnight in Kidal". One regional security source told the Press that French aircraft had landed at Kidal and that protection helicopters are in the sky. Kidal, 930 miles north-east of the capital Bamako, was until recently under the control of the Islamist militants.

News Item 3 (For Questions 25 and 26) 

US President Barack Obama has said the time has come for a review on the US immigration system. He made his case at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada,a day after a group of senators outlined a framework for reform. The White House and senators envisage a path to citizenship for many of an estimated 11million undocumented immigrants in the US. He noted that the currentsystem was "out of date and badly broken". Mr Obama's case for an immigration reform reflects a blueprint he rolled out in 2011, though that did not go far. Mr Obama now backs the Senate plan including making illegal immigrantspay taxes and fines, and sending them to the back of the queue before they can become American citizens. His 2011 blueprint also focused on a path topermanent residency and eventual citizenship. After eight years, individuals would be allowed to become legal permanent residents and would eventually become citizens five years later, according to his 2011 blue print.
