CNN Student News - Apr. 19, 2007.doc

MONICA LLOYD, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're happy to have you with us for a new edition of CNN Student News. I'm Monica Lloyd. Recovering from devastation: A series of explosions rocked Baghdad Wednesday, including the worst bombing in Iraq's capital since the start of the war. Preserving the planet: Earth Day is just around the corner, and we've got some tips on how you can give the Earth a helping hand. And chasing down the cattle: This animal escape artist broke free from her handlers and led them on a 2-mile pursuit through city streets.

First Up: Baghdad Bombing

LLOYD: First up today, devastation and violence in Iraq. Baghdad is recovering from a series of bombings that claimed the lives of nearly 200 people Wednesday. The worst attack happened at a busy market, where 140 people were killed. After the attacks, Iraq's prime minister called for a top army commander to be arrested over what he called "a weakness of security measures." Reba Hollingsworth has more on the bombings and the response in Washington.

REBA HOLLINGSWORTH, CNN REPORTER: The deadliest bombing came in the middle of one of Baghdad's oldest and busiest markets. More than 120 shoppers killed and more than 150 wounded. That attack was one of six across Baghdad on Wednesday. Insurgents also set off bombs at a busy intersection, security checkpoints and near a hospital. In Washington, the commander of U.S. Central Command told a congressional hearing the on-going violence is cause for concern.

ADM. WILLIAM FALLON, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND: I believe that the things I see on a daily basis give me some cause for optimism, but I'll tell ya that there is hardly a week that goes by, certainly almost a day that doesn't go by without some major event that also causes us to lose ground.

HOLLINGSWORTH: Both the White House and congressional Democrats show no signs of backing down in the battle over war funding. A major sticking point is a plan backed by Democrats that sets a timetable for pulling troops out of Iraq.

DANA PERINO, DEP. WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECY.: The president wants them to come home when the mission is finished, when the conditions are right on the ground to make sure the horrific violence such as we see today happening in Baghdad can subside.

REP. NANCY PELOSI, (D) SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: We must work together. We must negotiate an approach that would wind down this war.

HOLLINGSWORTH: Congressional leaders planned to explore a possible compromise with President Bush during a Wednesday afternoon meeting at the White House. For CNN Student News, I'm Reba Hollingsworth.

Is this Legit?

RACHAEL RICHARDSON,CNN STUDENT NEWS: Is This Legit? The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution addresses the right to bear arms. The one is False. It's the Second Amendment that states, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Gun Control Politics

LLOYD: The meaning of the Second Amendment has led to a long-running debate in the U.S. about gun control. And after Monday's tragedy at Virginia Tech, the issue may move further into the spotlight. The gunman in the Virginia Tech shootings, Cho Seung-Hui, used weapons purchased from two different gun shops. Now we want to point out Cho made the purchases legally and passed background checks when he bought both guns. In the wake of the shootings, Bill Schnieder looks at how gun control may fit into the political agenda.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BILL SCHNEIDER, CNN REPORTER: The last significant gun control measures to make it through Congress were the Brady bill in 1993 and the assault weapons ban in 1994. And what happened? Democrats lost control of Congress for 12 years. President Clinton blamed the gun lobby. Democrats have been gun shy ever since. Al Gore rarely talked about gun control in 2000.

AL GORE, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT: None of my proposals would have any effect on hunters or sportsmen or people who use rifles.

SCHNEIDER: John Kerry went hunting in 2004.

SEN. JOHN KERRY, FORMER DEM. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I will protect the Second Amendment. I always have and I will.

SCHNEIDER: Nevertheless, the National Rifle Association ran this ad.

FROM NRA AD, ``RUNNING'': John Kerry, you are not fooling America's gun owners. They know you voted against their gun rights for twenty years. So now you're running away from your record, just like Al Gore did.

SCHNEIDER: This year, Rudy Giuliani, a longtime supporter of gun control, says the matter should be left to the states. Polls show the public supports gun control. Why don't the politicians get with the people?

Public support for stricter gun laws has been declining since the 1990s. In January, the number was 49 percent, less than a majority for the first time since at least 1990. Why? The decline seems related to the drop in the violent crime rate since 1994. After a shocking incident like the one at Virginia Tech, public anger over gun violence rises. Senator Diane Feinstein issued a statement saying, `I believe this will re ignite the dormant effort to pass common-sense gun regulations in this nation.' But public anger is not usually sustained very long. Whereas gun owners remember every gun control vote as a threat to their rights. Bill Schneider, CNN, Washington.

Dow hits record high

LLOYD: The Dow Jones industrial average hit an all-time high Wednesday, just seven weeks after its biggest decline in more than five years. The Dow Jones is an average of 30 major companies. It's used as an indicator of trends in stock prices. The Dow also set a new trading high yesterday.

Shoutout

RICHARDSON: Time for the Shoutout! How many sheets of copy paper can be made from one tree measuring 40 feet tall and 6 to 8 inches in diameter? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) 280 sheets, B) 2,000 sheets, C) 8,000 sheets or D) 20,000 sheets? You've got three seconds -- GO! About 8,000 sheets of copy paper can be made from a tree of these measurements. And now you know the answer to one question in our free Earth Day quiz at CNN.com/EDUCATION. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Thinking Green

LLOYD: The planet gets some time in the spotlight this weekend. Sunday is the 37th Earth Day. It was created back in 1970 to raise awareness about environmental problems. And as we get ready for this year's Earth Day, Carl Azuz has some ways that you can help make the world a more eco-friendly place.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: These days, global warming is a hot-button subject. While many scientists agree that the earth is getting warmer, they don't necessarily agree on who's responsible. Some say our greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide, are causing the atmosphere to heat up.

JAMES HANSEN, NASA GODDARD INSTITUTE FOR SPACE STUDIES: The human link is crystal clear. There's no question the increase from 280 to 380 parts per million of CO2 is due to the burning of fossil fuels.

AZUZ: Others argue that the earth is naturally getting warmer with little or no help from humans:

NIGEL CALDER, AUTHOR, "THE CHILLING STARS": We've had lots of global warming episodes like the one we're in now, long before there was any industry, long before any human blame could be attached.

AZUZ: Wherever you stand, here are a few quick tips on what you can do to help the environment. One: Use spell check. Besides fooling people into thinking you can spell, it cuts down on reprints. Save paper, save trees.

When you're done with what you do print up, recycle it! Yes, we know you've heard that before, but get this: It can take a single sheet of paper weeks to decompose outside. And that soda can you drained at lunch? Eighty to two-hundred years!

That's why number three is so important: If you take an hour -- just one little hour -- and clean up your neighborhood, you could be eliminating centuries of litter: not stuff that's been there for centuries, but stuff that could be if it's left there. And if you go the extra step and recycle it, you get a gold star.

Now here's something that'll help out others, while helping the Earth: Don't throw out those jeans you outgrew; donate them. Salvation Army, a local church... Doing this will give someone less fortunate some clothes to wear, and keep slowly-decomposing fabrics off the trash heap.

Finally, aerate your faucets and showers. On average, Americans each use about 50 gallons of water a day! Aerators will cut down on that, but still wash away the stink. And they only go for about two bucks each -- how much was your last mocha-dopa-choco-latte?

Now you may be thinking, "My friends waste paper; my neighborhood will just get littered again anyway... What difference can I possibly make?"

Look at it this way: If everyone you know thinks the same, nothing gets done. But if everyone just takes one tip from this report, for example, that is what could make a world of difference. Carl Azuz, CNN Atlanta.

Promo

LLOYD: If you're out and about this weekend doing something for Earth Day, or anytime you're away from the TV or computer, you can still watch CNN Student News. Download our podcast at CNN.com or at iTunes and get the news whenever you're on the go.

Before We Go

LLOYD: Before we go, a chase through city streets that pits man against beast. Where's the beef? In one town in Australia, it's running away! This barreling bovine led cowboys on a chase that lasted almost 2 miles! The cow's dash for freedom went through the middle of town and past a shopping mall, where the conspicuous escape artist was caught on security camera. In the end, it took four men to wrangle the rambunctious runner.

Goodbye

LLOYD: And that'll bring today's show into the barn. We hope to see you tomorrow for more CNN Student News. Thanks for watching. I'm Monica Lloyd.
