We go to Mexico and our continuing coverage of the popular uprising in Oaxaca. On Sunday thousands of people marched to demand the resignation of State Governor Ulises Ruiz and the withdrawal of federal police. Ruiz sent a massive police force to crack down on the protests -- led by the Popular Assembly of the Oaxacan People -- APPO. We get a report from the streets of Oaxaca.
