 You'll say goodbye.I'll say hello.Welcome to CNN student news.Thank you ,ladies ,for the introduction.Now,let's get you to the headlines.

First up,the US Supreme 1 Court has agreed to decide whether president Barack Obama's health care reform law is constitutional.A lot of political analysts 2 consider this law to be the biggest legislate 3 of the accomplishment 4 during the president's first two years in office.Congress passed it in 2010.President Obama signed it in March of that year.But it's the Supreme Court's responsibility to rule on any legal questions.And there're some.Before it was passed,there was a huge debate around this health care law.The president and other supporters said it would give health coverage 5 to millions of Americans who didn't already have it.And they argue it would be good for the economy.Critics said the law would raise health care costs and give Americans fewer choices about what kind of insurance they can get.A lot of debates focused on a key part of the law called individual mandate 6.That would require most Americans to either buy health insurance by 2014 or face some kind of penalty.Court cases against this law say people can't be forced to buy something they may not want or may not need.Obama administration officials argued that since every American needs medical care at some point in life,no one really chooses to participate in the health care market.Three federal appeal court says the mandate is constitutional.Another says it's not.Now,it's up to the US Supreme Court to decide.The justices will actually look at two questions here.Is the individual mandate constitutional?And if not,does that mean the entire law has to be tossed out?The arguments will probably happen in February or March of next year.A ruling will probably come in June.
Back in September,it was called Occupy Wall Street.Now it's been called the Occupy movement,because it spread from New York to cities in other parts of the United States.Protestors camping out in parks and other public areas are speaking out against a lot of different things.One of them is the US financial industry.As XX Black explains,some cities are now pushing back.
A police standoff with protestors went on for hours in Portland,Oregan.Police arrested more than a dozen people and cleared city parks of camps.Portland's mayor tells CNN there've been no serious injuries during 4 or 5 times police have taken action.
We work really hard even in perhaps the moments like you see now to make sure that another coolest heads pervailed.
But the protestors say the mayor is doing the wrong thing.
But I see all,I'm extremely disappointed that the mayor chose to crack down on these parks when the outpouring of support come in but so strong and it was clearly in favor of occupying Portland.
In D,police in riot gear arrested 17 people as they cleared furniture,tents and personal belongings 7 from a camp.And in Philidelphia,the mayor said he's putting more police near the occupy philly camp.
Occupy philly has changed.We're seeing serious health and safety issues playing out on almost a daily basis.Occupy filly has fractured with internal disagreeement and disputes.I'm G.Black,reporting.
Is this legit?Suez rocket and spacecraft are launched by China's space agency.Not legit.It's Russia that used the Suez spacecraft and has been using them since the 1906.
We're launching into the next couple of stories coming from the CNN control room here.That Suez is the longest running manned spacecraft designed that's still in use.And since NASA space shuttle program ended earlier this year,the Suez is the only way people can use to get to the International Space Station.And that's where this craft is heading right now.It took off from the nation of XX on Monday during what looks like a snow storm.Two Russians and one American are on board and heading to the ISS.They're scheduled to arrive on Wednesday.And there's one another traveller along for the ride.Check it out.
It's the angry bird hanging out there in the capsule with them.Maybe they thought they need some extra entertainment during the trip.
The folks you got stuck on some American eagle flights might have wanted some extra entertainment,but instead they got refunds 8 and vultures.American eagle is an airline.It's the first airline to get fined for excessive tarmac delays.The rule went into the fact last year that says flights can't stay on the tarmac for more than 3 hours.But the US transportation department says 15 American eagle flights were delayed on the ground for more than 3 hours at Chicago's O. airport.More than 600 passengers were affected 9 by these delays.American eagle will have to pay 900,000 dollars in fines.Airline officials apologized for the inconvenince to customers.They say they're working on ways to prevent this in the future.
