CNN Student News - Apr. 4, 2007.doc

MONICA LLOYD, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're glad to have you with us for another day of CNN Student News. From CNN Center, I'm Monica Lloyd. A showdown in Washington: President Bush has a stern warning for Congress about funding for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. A speaker in Syria: Nancy Pelosi is visiting the Middle Eastern nation, but some in the U.S. think the trip is a bad idea. And a train in transit: The miles fly by as this high speed train zooms down the tracks and into a new speed record.

First Up: Funding the War

LLOYD: First up today, a showdown in Washington over military spending. The separation of powers in our constitution gives the president control over the military, but it gives Congress control of the military's money. That funding is part of a big political standoff going on between the two branches of government. Both the House and Senate recently passed bills giving additional funding to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. But those bills each include a deadline for bringing U.S. troops home. Democratic leaders say that's aimed at changing the president's policy in Iraq. But Mr. Bush says withdrawing troops is a bad idea, and he's said several times he'll veto any bill that includes a troop withdrawal deadline. On Tuesday, he called Congress' delay in military funding irresponsible.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Congress' most basic responsibility is to give our troops the equipment and training that they need to fight our enemies and protect our nation. They are now failing in that in responsibility and if they do not change course in the coming weeks the price of that failure will be paid by our troops and their loved ones

Journey to Syria

LLOYD: That's not the only dispute going on between the president and a congressional leader right now. Nancy Pelosi arrived in Syria Tuesday. And while the speaker of the House says she hopes her trip will help restore confidence between Washington and Damascus, President Bush says the trip is sending mixed messages. Jill Dougherty explains both sides' viewpoint.

JILL DOUGHERTY, CNN REPORTER: Nancy Pelosi thinks it's a good idea: Talk with Syria, even if it's a country the United states claims supports terrorism.

NANCY PELOSI, SPEAKER OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: We have no illusions, but we have great hope.

DOUGHERTY: The White House thinks it's anything but a good idea.

DANA PERINO, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN: We think that the best thing to do is to keep them -- to show that they are isolated and that their behavior is unacceptable.

DOUGHERTY: So why doesn't Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, listen to the White House and skip the trip to Syria? Because, as speaker, she is a power unto herself, and it's not just because she wields a gavel. By law, the speaker is second in the line of succession to the presidency. If President Bush were incapacitated and so was Vice President Cheney, Nancy Pelosi would be living in the White House. As speaker, she controls all legislation being considered by the House of Representatives, and, by the way, she's the first woman to ever hold the job. The president may define the United States' foreign policy, but the legislative branch, headed in this case by Nancy Pelosi, holds the purse strings: approving or denying funding for that policy. But just the idea of Nancy Pelosi going Syria gets one former U.S. diplomat's blood boiling:

JOHN BOLTON, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: I think it's naive at best, and possibly quite counterproductive. I'm at a loss to understand why Speaker Pelosi wants to do something like this.

DOUGHERTY: The speaker says she's just following recommendations of the bi-partisan Iraq Study Group, which calls for 'constructive engagement with Syria.'

So, whether the White House likes it or not, Nancy Pelosi is going to Syria. She's likely to keep her comments careful and diplomatic -- at least until she gets back to Washington. Jill Dougherty, CNN Washington.

Fact Check: Syria

LLOYD: So why is Syria such a hot button for the U.S.? Well, the Middle Eastern nation was part of the U.S.-led coalition against Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. But the relationship between the two has been full of friction for quite a while now. Don Lemon runs down the recent history between the two countries.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DON LEMON, CNN REPORTER: Syria has been on the State Department's list of terror-sponsoring nations since the list was created in 1979. Washington has long accused Syria of giving military and financial support to anti-Israel groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Syria says it does provide money to these groups, but denies providing them with weapons. When former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri was assassinated in 2005, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the presence of Syrian forces in Lebanon was at least partly to blame. President Bush immediately demanded that Syria withdraw its 15,000 troops from Lebanon. While denying any involvement in Hariri's murder, Syrian President Bashar Assad did eventually pulled his troops out of Lebanon. Another very sore point: The war between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon last year. Both Washington and Israel accused Syria of arming and funding Hezbollah in the conflict. As for the war in Iraq, the Bush administration charges that Syria allows insurgents to cross its borders and attack targets in Iraq. Syria denies the allegation. Surprisingly, there are a few examples of cooperation. Syria joined the U.S.-led coalition in the Persian Gulf War. After 9/11, Syrian President Assad pledged support in the fight against al Qaeda in a letter to President Bush. One of the key figures in the 9/11 attacks -- Mohammed Haydar Zammar -- was interrogated in Syria with U.S. knowledge. Last month in Baghdad, U.S. officials sat at the same room with Syrian officials at a regional meeting on finding ways to end the war. American officials said only that Syria did not respond directly to U.S. concerns.

Shoutout

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Time for the Shoutout! Which of the following is not a major format for transferring digital music? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) WAV, B) BMP, C) MP3 or D) MP4? You've got three seconds--GO! "BMP" actually refers to "bitmap" format, which is primarily used for images, not sound. MP4, meanwhile, enables you to transfer all kinds of media, including audio. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Is iTunes Unfair?

LLOYD: Whether it's an MP3 or WAV, Gwen Stefani, Green Day or Garth Brooks, when you're downloading music from iTunes you're always going to pay the same price, right? Wrong! If you're in Europe, your downloading dollars depend on one very important thing: location. Charles Hodson explains why the European Union wants Apple to change its tune on downloading charges.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHARLES HODSON, CNN REPORTER: Just when Apple thought it had reason to celebrate, another blow from Brussels.

JONATHAN TODD, EU COMPETITION SPOKESMAN: The very fact that you are unable to buy the same tune for the same price or you are unable, in some cases, to even buy the same tune at all is a problem for us. In our view, it's a restrictive business practice.

HODSON: The commission has already taken Apple to task -- saying it's unfair that consumers can only download songs from their laptop, PC or Mac onto an iPod. In other words other music players aren't compatible with the iTunes software. Now the EC is looking into why the cost of a download varies so much from country to country. Consumer organizations say it's about time the commission took action.

ALENA KOZAKOVA: We have had quite a lot of complaints over the years and consumers still complain that they can't understand it. They are online trying to buy their songs for the best price. They go to the French Web site for example, and are denied access. So, that's really an issue that consumers are concerned about very much.

HODSON: It's cheapest to buy from iTunes in the United States. There it currently costs just .99 cents per tune, with copyright protection. Compare that with 1.32 in most of Europe and a whopping 1.56 in Britain. Small wonder UK consumers are not impressed.

MAN ON THE STREET: I use iTunes. I have to pay more and I am not particularly pleased about it.

MAN ON THE STREET: I am not surprised by that in the slightest we always pay more in this country, standard. A standard across Europe would be good.

HODSON: In a written statement, Apple said that it had always wanted to operate a single, pan-European iTunes store. But that it was advised by music labels and publishers that there were certain legal limits to the rights they could grant us. Apple has two months to answer to the charges from the competition commission.

Promo

LLOYD: It might cost you a different price to download music to your iPod in France, Germany or Spain. But it won't cost you a thing to download CNN Student News. You can find our podcast on iTunes, or at CNN.com/EDUCATION.

Before We Go

LLOYD: Before we go, don't blink, or you might miss this one. This train is flying down the tracks, and it's doing it faster than any train has before. 357 miles an hour, to be exact, which set a new rail speed record. At that rate, this train can zoom past 3 football fields in just 2 seconds. The driver said he actually could have gone faster, if not for some winds that weren't in his favor.

Goodbye

LLOYD: And that brings this edition of CNN Student News into the station. Thanks for watching. I'm Monica Lloyd.
