For example, Zedillo introduced Pronalfide, the National Program to Finance Development, attempting to meet the job needs of the people. Francisco Trejo covers politics focusing on the attempts made by the opposition parties PRD and PAN to form a coalition in 1997 to gain strength against PRI and the problems between them that prevented full cooperation.

Amada Casta–—n reports on the advances in cloning, which have raised serious ethical and moral issues around the world. UNESCO condemned human cloning worldwide, and a clip of Bill Clinton, who is also opposed to the practice, is shown. Jorge Zarza reports on the significant PRD victory in Mexico City -- the election of CuauhtŽmoc C‡rdenas as governor. Another report by Jorge Zarza presents the story of a massacre in Chiapas, where forty-six people were killed.
