Happy Mother's Day to you. I'm Creshon Saunders at the CNN.com newsroom in Atlanta. Here's a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.


We've received this new video of the Lebanese army arriving to help calm fighting that's broken out in the central mountains over Beirut. It's a firefight between pro 1 and anti government loyalists. Meanwhile, Lebanon's Finance Minister tells CNN he expects the Arab League Secretary General to travel to Beirut this evening. Streets are calm in the city.


Myanmar's military government is allowing emergency shipments into Yangon for cyclone 2 victims but the airport can only handle a few planes a day. Foreign aid workers are still largely being denied entry to the country. The Red Cross says a boat loaded with enough supplies for one thousand people sank Sunday in the Irrawaddy Delta 3. Meanwhile, Myanmar has now upped the death toll 4 to 29,000. Aid groups fear it may be three times that high. They say disease now threatens the lives of 1.5 million people.


It was an emotional day for the nation's military moms. Hundreds came out Sunday to lay Mother's Day cards at the wall at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. Their sons' sacrifices were remembered in a poignant 5 ceremony.


With just two days until the West Virginia primary, Senator Hillary Clinton is there today, spending Mother's Day campaigning with daughter Chelsea. She is in Webster this hour. It's the birthplace of Anna Marie Jarvis, the woman who came up with the idea of a Mother's Day before it was nationally recognized in 1914. Meanwhile, senators Barack Obama and John McCain aren't campaigning today, taking a little break. Obama is spending the day in Chicago with his family, he'll be in West Virginia tomorrow.


Pictures that would make any mom proud on this Mother's Day. Jenna Bush on her wedding day, you see the pictures there. About 200 guests attended the private outdoor wedding last night. All had to pass security checks at President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch 6. Band leader Tyrone Smith says President Bush and Jenna chose "You are so beautiful" for their father-daughter dance.


Those are the headlines at this hour. For more on these stories and other news of the day, CNN is your source, online, on TV, even when you are on the go.
