CHRISTINA PARK, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: It's a new week, and we're glad you're starting it off with CNN Student News. I'm Christina Park. Rising tensions: The international standoff over a group of captured British troops takes a new turn, as protesters target the British Embassy in Iran. Traveling politicians: A group of lawmakers takes a trip to Iraq to see the security situation on the ground in person. And blooming buds: The crowds take to the streets of Washington, D.C., as the capital plays host to the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.

First Up: British Troops Crisis

PARK: First up today, tensions are rising in an international standoff. Iran captured 15 British sailors and marines more than a week ago, saying they had trespassed in its waters. But Britain says the group was on patrol in Iraqi waters. And after a week of heated statements from the leaders of both nations, President George W. Bush has weighed in, calling Iran's behavior inexcusable. Matthew Chance has the latest on the diplomatic tug of war.

MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN REPORTER: With chants of "death to Britain," protestors outside the British embassy in Tehran hurled rocks and firecrackers, demanding it be shut down. As the standoff over 15 British sailors and marines being held by Iran continues, tensions appear to be escalating. Paraded on television making confessions, possibly under duress, the plight of the captives is provoking condemnation from Britain and its allies. From his retreat at Camp David, President Bush has added his voice to calls for the captives' release.

U.S. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: It's serious because the British hostage issue is a serious issue because the Iranians took these people out of Iraqi water, and it's inexcusable behavior.

CHANCE: His use of the word 'hostage' conjures up memories of America's own crisis with Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Dozens of U.S. personnel were held captive for 444 days - there was even a failed rescue attempt. In the current crisis, the hopes are for a diplomatic solution. At a church service in the hometown of the only female captive, Faye Turney, there were prayers for her safe return. But the Iranian mood shows little sign of softening. Speaking to crowds on Islamic Republic Day, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad was characteristically hardline.

GRAPHIC: The British occupier forces did trespass our waters, he said. Our border guards detained them with skill and bravery, but arrogant powers, because of their arrogant and selfish spirit, are claiming otherwise.

CHANCE: These are the disputed waterways between Iraq and Iran where the British naval patrol was intercepted. British military officials deny they had strayed into Iranian waters. European Union nations have been voicing their support for Britain and as this crisis enters a new week, diplomatic pressure may build for it to end. Matthew Chance, CNN, London.

McCain Visits Iraq

PARK: Senator John McCain and a few of his colleagues are back home after a weekend trip to Iraq. Last week, McCain said the security situation in the Middle Eastern nation was improving and the group of Republican lawmakers traveled to a Baghdad market to see the situation in person. Frederick Pleitgen filed this report Sunday on their trip.

FREDRICK PLEITGEN, CNN REPORTER: Senator McCain was in Baghdad today as part of a Republican delegation to assess the situation on the ground. McCain backtracked from comments he made earlier this week here on CNN, saying that some neighborhoods in Baghdad were safe enough for Westerners to stroll through them. But McCain did say he believes the situation in Iraq is improving and he also says he believes the Baghdad security plan is working.

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I believe that we have a new strategy that is making progress. And it's not to say things are well everywhere in Iraq, far from it. We have a long way to go. We read everyday about suicide bombings, kidnappings, rocket attacks and other terrible acts. And I'm not saying that mission is accomplished or "last throes" or "a few dead-enders." But what we don't read about everyday, and what is new since the surge began, is a lot of the good news.

PLEITGEN: McCain and his colleagues visited a market in central Baghdad with General Patraeus and all of them said they were amazed by how well they were received by the Iraqi locals and also how fairly freely they were able to move around. Now, Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, responding to a reporter's question, reiterated his belief that setting a deadline for American troops to move out of Iraq is a mistake.

SEN. LINDSAY GRAHAM, (R) SOUTH CAROLINA: I think you see four people here who believe more, now than ever, that it would be a huge mistake to set a deadline. Because it is working. There are signs of progress. We're doing now what we should have done three years ago. And if you set a deadline now, it will undercut everything positive that's going on. That's not me saying that, that's every soldier I've talked to today. That's the Iraqi police commander who said 'please stay with us.' Things are getting better.

PLEITGEN: The visit comes after a deadly month here in Iraq. And numbers published by the government today say that the civilian death toll here in Iraq is rising. More than 1,800 civilians were killed here in Iraq in March and almost 3,000 were wounded. Now, only today, two truck bombs in the northern city of Mosul killed another two civilians. Fredrick Pleitgen, CNN, Baghdad.

Shoutout Extra Credit

AZUZ: Time for a Shoutout Extra Credit! From which country did Washington, D.C. get its famous cherry trees? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) Japan, B) France, C) Argentina or D) Australia? Here we go! Washington's cherry trees were a gift from Japan in the early 1900s. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout Extra Credit!

Spring Blossoms

PARK: The fruits of that gift are being enjoyed right now, as packs of people have flocked to the nation's capital for the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The annual event lasts two weeks, and is highlighted by fireworks, street fairs and parades. Stephen Tschida, of affiliate WJLA, reports from Washington, where the blossoming trees have brought the crowds out in force.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

STEPHEN TSCHIDA, WJLA: Crowded sidewalks, congested streets, and cramped metro stations: The cherished sight of the cherry blossoms in full bloom drew throngs of people to the National Mall.

PERSON ON THE STREET: It was packed, and we got off the train, and we looked around actually behind us -- wall to wall people.

TSCHIDA: The sudden spike in temperature earlier this week put the cherry blossoms ahead of schedule. That had a lot of people moving up their plans to visit D.C.

MEREDITH LEE: We were going to go next weekend, so we did come out sooner.

TSCHIDA: Meredith Lee makes an annual pilgrimage to the tidal basin. She gives this year's crop high marks.

LEE: We were really fortunate; it's beautiful outside. The weather couldn't be better for this. It's not too hot, not too cold.

TSCHIDA: With so many people racing to see the blossoms during their brief appearance, it did get difficult to get around.

PERSON ON THE STREET: Too many cars. But hey, we have a perfect car for it, so it's not bad.

TSCHIDA: Even folks who opted for two-wheel transportation found travel dicey.

PERSON ON THE STREET: It's a little bit crowded so far.

TSCHIDA: Despite all the difficulties, many of those who braved the crowds and the crush of traffic said the sight of cherry blossoms in all their splendor made the journey worthwhile.

Before We Go

PARK: Before we go, putting a new spin on a pair of world records. How's this for ups and downs? A radio station in South Carolina put out a call to yo-yo enthusiasts to join forces and shatter a world record. Organizers say more than 900 people showed up to break the mark for most people yo-yoing at one time. They walked the dog, went around the world, and hopped the fence. And in the end, they strung together a new world record.

But that's not the only recent broken record. Have you ever sat around doing nothing, just spinning your wheels? Well, Ron Sarchian was spinning his for 24 straight hours! The personal trainer spent a solid day on a stationary bike as part of a fund raiser for the American Diabetes Association. And while Sarchian wasn't getting very far riding in place, the feat did get him into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Goodbye

PARK: And that wheels us to the finish line of this edition of CNN Student News. Thanks for watching. I'm Christina Park.
