British PM Cameron Making Big Apple Stops Today, Expect Traffic

-

British Prime Minister David Cameron is in Newark, N.J., meeting with its mayor, before finishing his trip to the United States with a visit to New York City and the 9/11 memorial.

Cameron arrived at City Hall in Newark on Thursday morning and was briefly greeted by Mayor Cory Booker on the front steps before they headed inside to talk.

The mayor plans to brief the prime minister on programs in the impoverished city that could be replicated in Great Britain. They also plan a short walk-around in the city about 10 miles from New York.

Cameron spoke briefly with the mayor about Booker’s time in England as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, where he received a degree in modern history in 1994.

He will then head to Lower Manhattan to visit the September 11th memorial.

Cameron will also meet with NYU students before heading back to England later tonight.

Cameron was the guest of honor at a state dinner at the White House last night.

Expect turbulence on West Side

Other parents and kids are coming forward, saying the school isn't doing enough to stop student racial slurs. Student Gillian Brockman said she was called “nig...
