Results of GOP Primaries in Deep South

Aired March 15, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Do you know the difference between an official visit and a state visit? You will have a better idea of it by the end of today`s program. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN Student News.

First up, a full breakdown on Tuesday`s Republican presidential contest. The biggest events were primaries in Alabama and Mississippi.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Now we say biggest in terms of delegates. Former Senator Rick Santorum, on the right of your screen, won in both states. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the caucuses in Hawaii and American Samoa.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Candidates were awarded delegates from those events based on how many votes they got. So for example, Senator Santorum got the most delegates in Mississippi because he got the most votes there. But he didn`t get all of that state`s delegates.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): It takes 1,144 delegates to win this year`s Republican nomination. Here`s where things stand after Tuesday`s contest: Governor Romney with 498 delegates, Senator Santorum with 239, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has 139 delegates and U.S. Representative Ron Paul has 69.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Following up now on a story out of Afghanistan, the American soldier who allegedly killed 16 Afghan civilians has been transferred out of Afghanistan, and military officials said the decision was based on a legal recommendation.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Yesterday, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta arrived in Afghanistan for a trip that had been scheduled before the shooting happened. There`s been a lot of tension in Afghanistan because of the shooting, and a recent incident when U.S. troops accidentally burned copies of the Quran, Afghan officials have been outraged at all of this.

The Taliban, a militant group that U.S. and coalition forces are fighting in Afghanistan, have threatened violence against Americans because of those incidents. Secretary Panetta addressed the tension during his visit.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LEON PANETTA: Each of these incidents is deeply troubling. And we have to learn the lessons from each of those incidents so that we do everything possible to make sure that they don`t happen again. But none of this, none of this is reflective of the overwhelming majority of troops, ISAF troops, Afghan troops, who, day to day, are doing the job of trying to protect this country.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): The conflict in Afghan was one of the subjects that President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron discussed yesterday. The leaders said they`re both committed to completing the military mission in Afghanistan, and handing over security to Afghan forces by the end of 2014.

Prime Minister Cameron was at the White House as part of an official visit. It included a joint press conference and a state dinner last night.

This wasn`t a state visit. State visit is the title used when heads of state come to the White House. Prime Minister Cameron is the head of government, not state. The British head of state is the Queen.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Ms. Truttman`s geography class at Wittenberg Middle School in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. The warning, "Beware the ides of March," comes from what Shakespearean play? Here we go. Is it from "Romeo and Juliet," "Julius Caesar," "Hamlet" or "Macbeth?" You`ve got three seconds, go.

That famous warning is given in and to Julius Caesar. That`s your answer and that`s your Shoutout.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Unfortunately for Caesar, at least in the play, he didn`t pay much attention to that warning. That`s the reason why the ides of March are so famous -- or infamous -- today. But we`re getting a little ahead of ourselves.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): For starters, "ides" comes from a word that means "to divide." On the old Roman and Julian calendars, the middle of the month was called the ides. And it was supposed to coincide with the full moon. So today the 15th is the ides, and it was on the ides of March back in 44 B.C., when Julius Caesar was assassinated.

We don`t know if he was actually warned about it like he was in Shakespeare`s play, but Shakespeare did make the date even more famous when he included that particular line. Now the ides of March is sometimes used symbolically to mean a specific day of major changes with repercussions, so beware.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: See if you can ID me. I started out mostly as a coin-operated business, but now I make billions.

My journey took me from computers and arcades to consoles and apps. Early examples of me included chess and Spacewar!, but I really got off the ground with Pong.

I`m video games, and my industry has been booming since the 1970s.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: OK, this is sweet, but I`m totally going to wreck.

All right, look, when I was a kid, we could have gone to the arcade, we could have plugged a console into our TVs. But we only could have dreamed about having video games here. But Dan Simon is at a conference to show us exactly why this is changing the landscape for video games. Check it out.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAN SIMON, CNN REPORTER (voice-over): Nearly 20,000 people rolled into San Francisco last week to see the latest trends in video games. According to the industry, it`s a $50 billion business, bigger than the music industry, bigger than Hollywood.

For aspiring programmers, the future has never looked better. In fact, those who design games can expect to earn an average of about $90,000 a year. Why so big? Because a single game like Madden Football can earn a company billions of dollars in revenue.

PETER MOORE, COO, EA: We`re not a $50 billion industry by coincidence or by mistake. This is something that ties into what people want to do. They want to dictate the outcomes. They want to have interactive and engaging experiences with the content.

SIMON: Thanks to mobile devices and social networking, the video game industry has been on even more of a tear, more platforms means more games. It`s also means developers can entice more players. Think about it. Anyone who owns a smartphone is a potential customer.

MOORE: If you asked me seven or eight years ago, I`d said that the global gaming population was maybe 220 million, 225 million people. If you ask me today, I think it`s closer to 2 billion.

SIMON (voice-over): EA and other firms are in the midst of a major transformation, where consoles and discs once ruled the day, it`s expanded the user base by delivering games digitally, whether directly to an Xbox, iPad or on Facebook, because many of these games are free, some with ads or cheap add-ons to make the games better, that may help explain some of the growth despite the recession.

MOORE: The key for us it to be able to take this big funnel now that`s coming in, maybe it`s $2 billion people who say they`re a gamer, and be able to provide an experience that they want, regardless of price, regardless of time, regardless of platform.

SIMON (voice-over): Electronic arts can spend tens of millions to make a hit. But because of the success of games like Rovio`s Angry Birds, gamemakers have come to realize it doesn`t always take millions to create a stir, just like a low-budget film that becomes a top grosser.

At a time when many industries can`t run on their base, here`s one that has grown because of accessibility. That new game, after all, is just one click or download away.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: CNN had covered the African warlord Joseph Kony in the past. In fact, we covered it last fall. But we asked on our blog why you think this has gotten so much attention recently on social media.

Jake says that a great amount of kids spend a lot of time on social networks, and it`s through these networks that you saw the video of other kids suffering such a terrible fate.

Sasha told us that any time children are involved in dangerous situations kids want to help and spread the word to as many people as they can.

Simran writes, "The video is very close to many people`s hearts. They feel the need to share it in any possible way they could."

And Amanda felt that when the video was put out there, it came as a shock to many people, therefore they wanted everyone to see it.

Now Stewart said the video`s producers were smart in their use of social media to drum up public support. "The use of marketing tools like T-shirts and bracelets also helped make it `trendy` to care."

Andrew called the video source unreliable and said people should research it before becoming involved and giving their money to an organization that made the video.

And Mike says that many people thought the video looked cool, so people suddenly decided to care. But, "It`s sad when something has been going on for 20 years and people suddenly decide to care now."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: OK. Before we go today, we are featuring a hands-on musical experiment.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): About 10 hands on, if our math is right. This is the band Walk Off the Earth, and the members are either short a few instruments or just really good at sharing.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

AZUZ (voice-over): The group showed off its five-people-one-guitar routine at the South by Southwest conference this month in Texas. Certainly impressive in terms of musical skills --

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: -- but finding space for five people to play the same guitar might be even more noteworthy. It`s time for us to head out. No fret. CNN Student News returns tomorrow. I`ll see y`all then.

GOP Primaries in Alabama, Mississippi; Rare Earth Elements

Aired March 14, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz, and this is CNN Student News. Wanted to slice out a little time to wish everyone a happy Pie Day on this March 14th, 3-14 -- OK. Let`s go ahead and get to today`s headlines.

Two primaries, two caucuses, 110 delegates: that`s what was at stake yesterday in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): You know the candidates by now, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, U.S. Representative Ron Paul, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Senator Rick Santorum.

The battle for most of those 110 delegates happened in Mississippi and Alabama. Those were the states that held primary elections yesterday. And they were close ones, too close to call when we produced this program last night.

The caucuses were in Hawaii and American Samoa. Those results were still coming in last night as well. You can get all the latest details, of course, from Tuesday`s contest right on our home page. You go to the "Spotlight" section, click on the link to the CNN Election Center.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Mr. Moss` sociology class at Farson-Eden High School in Farson, Wyoming.

On the periodic table, cerium, promethium and europium are all what? Here we go. Are they noble gases, halogens, alkali metals or rare earth elements? You`ve got three seconds, go.

These are all part of the rare earth elements group, many of which are used in elections. That`s your answer, and that`s your Shoutout.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: You might find some rare earth elements in your phones, and of course we`re also talking about things like flat screen TVs, any sort of electronics, really. Luckily, rare earth elements, despite being called rare, actually aren`t rare. In fact, we know most of them come from China.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): That country produces about 97 percent of the world`s rare earth elements. But other nations accuse China of hoarding these minerals. The U.S., Japan and the European Union are challenging China`s restrictions on how much of the materials get sent out of the country.

China says its policy meets international standards.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The countries involved think this is important because of what these rare earth elements can be used for. Chad Myers explains what they can do.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: They will power your battery. They actually -- they`re the part that makes the power.

They will turn red, green and blue, which are the colors of your TV set. They will make a tiny magnet, which in, with real magnets, would be this size, they could be almost down to the size of a quarter for the same amount of power, therefore making very small motors or aerospace or for spacecraft or for satellites that go up.

They are elements, they are plentiful in the world. They are all over the place. But a long time ago, China really reduced the cost of them and a lot of mines just basically went out of business. They couldn`t compete. Now China makes 97 percent of these minerals. They don`t want to give them away any more.

They want to make things with them, and sell the things rather than just give away the elements, color TVs, smartphones, wind turbines, all of these things rely on these rare earth elements. They are very powerful things. And they`re in the periodic table. There are 15 here.

The lanthanides here, down on the bottom, and then the 21 and 39 here in the middle are the -- are the biggest ones that we need. And you need them to make -- and to make anything, really, that`s now high-tech.

And here`s the deal. China says we`re just not going to give them away and let you make the things. We`re going to make the things and then sell them for higher value than just giving away the elements. That`s the issue here.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Imagine going 36,000 feet beneath the surface of the sea. That`s where movie director James Cameron is aiming for. We`ve had a couple of reports on Cameron`s upcoming journey to try to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Today, Jason Carroll gives us a closer look at the vehicle that Cameron hopes will take him to the deepest spot on Earth.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JASON CARROLL, CNN REPORTER (voice-over): In this story, James Cameron isn`t the only character taking a voyage to the Mariana Trench`s deepest point, Challenger Deep.

JAMES CAMERON, FILM DIRECTOR: So you want to see how we`re going to do it?

CARROLL: Yes, let`s --

CAMERON: Want to see the vehicle?

CARROLL: Yes.

CARROLL (voice-over): This, in Cameron`s eyes, is the other -- his submersible, Deep Sea Challenger. It took a team of scientists and the National Geographic Society more than seven years to make a sub able to withstand pressures at the trench`s depths, 16,000 pounds per square inch.

CARROLL: So it does stay vertical --

CAMERON: Flies like a seahorse.

CARROLL: Flies like a seahorse.

CAMERON: Yes, you know, how it just stays upright in the water column, you got a little fin on the back.

CARROLL: Want to tell you a little bit more about Deep Sea Challenger, as it`s docked and resting and being worked on here. It weighs 12 tons.

And even though it`s on its side, it`s actually 24 feet high. It`s powered by these specially created lithium batteries, and its body, it`s made up of a syntactic foam that was developed by Cameron and his team of scientists. And that color that you see there, Cameron calls that Kawasaki green.

CAMERON: I`m pretty used to clambering around this thing.

CARROLL (voice-over): It`s a one-seater, designed to have Cameron encased in a protective pod.

CARROLL: How tall are you?

CAMERON: Six-two.

CARROLL: Could have been easier if it had been built for me.

CARROLL (voice-over): It is a tight fit.

CAMERON: I`m pretty much like this for about 10 hours.

CARROLL: You`re not worried about cramps or anything?

CAMERON: Not yet.

(LAUGHTER)

CARROLL (voice-over): Cameron expects time will pass as he captures 3- D images and hopefully sea life from the trench`s floor as he has already done on previous test dives.

CAMERON: And I can actually slurp up little critters, or I can suck onto an animal and pick him up and drop him into a biobox.

CARROLL (voice-over): If something goes wrong, there is a failsafe system, a series of weights release with the flip of a switch. It brings little comfort to Cameron`s mother, who worries.

CAMERON: I love my family, my kids. There`s nothing I love more. But I also have to do this. I also have to go look. It`s like Jimmy Stewart says in "How the West Was Won," "Sometimes you`ve just got to go see the critter."

CARROLL (voice-over): The challenger`s frontier awaits -- Jason Carroll, CNN, on board the Mermaid Sapphire in the (inaudible) sea.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Well, this guy won`t be taking anyone to the bottom of the ocean, but engineers hope it could help save lives on ships. It`s a firefighting robot. It`s designed specifically to work on U.S. Navy ships. The robot has cameras and a gas sensor, and it`ll be able to activate fire suppressor systems or to throw grenades with fire extinguishing materials inside of them. But the thing is not ready yet. It`s not scheduled to be tested on board a ship until probably the end of next year.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What`s the word? It means "to carry," but it`s also a two-handled type of bag you can carry things in.

Tote -- that`s the word.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Tough one there. Well, Tanner Smith is a college basketball player. Back when he was younger than you are now, he started an organization to help kids with cancer, and tote bags are a big part of that. So far, nearly 2,000 of Tanner`s Totes have been delivered to children`s hospitals and Smith hopes they carry a little cheer for the people who get them.

Robin Meade has more on this great story.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROBIN MEADE, ANCHOR, "MORNING EXPRESS WITH ROBIN MEADE" (voice-over): When Tanner Smith was in the fourth grade, he wrote a paper about three wishes. The first two seemed normal: he wanted a puppy and to be a professional basketball player. The last wish really stood out.

TANNER SMITH, TANNER`S TOTES: My third wish was to make kids with cancer laugh.

MEADE (voice-over): Tanner`s inspiration was his dad, who had battled cancer. He often wondered how kids his age faced a serious illness. So when Tanner turned 12, he and his parents began Tanner`s Totes. They found teens often spending time alone in hospitals, while parents worked and friends were in school. They made special bags just for them, to give a little extra support during their treatment.

CRAIG SMITH, TANNER`S DAD: I mean, he gets down to the patient`s level, and looks them in the eye, and says, you know, you know, I know what you`re going through, because I`ve lived it. I`ve seen it.

MEADE (voice-over): Today, Tanner`s Totes, a non-profit, is still a family affair. Mom, Kathy, fills the totes, and dad, Craig, handles the finances.

KATHY SMITH, TANNER`S MOM: We get emotional thinking about that -- this fourth grader, came up with another way for us to live our lives and make it important.

T. SMITH: I`d say the most rewarding thing is the relationship I`ve been able to build with my parents. That love that we have for each other has been passed through to these tote bags. I think when they open them and they start to enjoy them, they can feel a little bit of that.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: All right. There was a time when people once got dressed up for a flight aboard a plane.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): But I don`t think you ever had to put on a full penguin suit. For these passengers, it`s just their everyday attire.

Pete (ph) and Penny (ph), a pair of penguins, paraded up and down the aisle on this flight recently. The pilot wanted everyone to get a chance to see the first-class flyers. They`re heading a movie premiere in New York City, so it turns out penguins can fly. They just don`t fly coach. Sorry, y`all.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Sometimes thinking up new puns can be a "bird-en", and we just got to wing it. It`s time for us to take flight. We will be back with more commercial-free headlines tomorrow. For CNN Student News, I`m Carl Azuz.

Reports Say More than 100 Syrians Killed Sunday

Aired March 13, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hi, I`m Mini-Carl, not to be mistaken with Cardboard Carl. Today CNN Student News episode will be funtastic. And to introduce our show, we`re going to go over to Holy Trinity School in Somerset, Ohio.

GROUP: Welcome to CNN Student News. Take it away, Carl.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Great stuff. Thanks to all the students at Holy Trinity for the introduction. I`m Carl Azuz, bringing you today`s top headlines. We`re going to be talking about a story that has been all over social media lately.

But first up, we`re looking at Syria. Today is officially being called a day of mourning in parts of the Middle Eastern nation. This is in response to reports that more than 100 Syrians were killed on Sunday. That includes violence in the city of Homs that some opposition officials called a massacre.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Meanwhile, the latest attempts at peace talks don`t seem to have gotten anywhere. Kofi Annan, a former secretary-general of the United Nations, spent two days meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Annan suggested a cease-fire and asked for relief agencies to be able to get aid to victims in Syria.

When he left Syria on Sunday, it wasn`t clear whether Annan had gotten any agreement on those requests from al-Assad.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Here at CNN Student News, part of our goal is to inform you about major events going on in the world. That is why you hear so much about the violence in Syria.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): This is a humanitarian crisis, something that represents a major threat to the health and safety of a large group of people. Dozens are reportedly dying in Syria nearly every day. This violence has been going on for a year.

We say reportedly, because Syria has severely restricted the access that journalists can have in the country. That`s another big part of what`s going on here. In many situations, the world can learn about crises like this from first-hand news reports. But because of that restricted access, CNN can`t confirm the reports from the Syrian government or the opposition.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Another crisis happening in the world, one we reported on last fall, involves Joseph Kony and a violent military group in Uganda. We`ve seen messages on our Facebook page about this. I`ve gotten tweets from some of you about Kony. Ralitsa Vassileva has this report on the viral video that has made Kony a household name on social media.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For 26 years, Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group, the LRA.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

RALITSA VASSILEVA, ANCHOR, CNN INTERNATIONAL (voice-over): A 30- minute video gone viral online has achieved what policymakers and activists have failed to do: make more people care about the atrocities of a bizarre cult called the Lord`s Resistance Army, or LRA, seeking to overthrow the Ugandan government.

Produced by a non-profit group called Invisible Children to create momentum for the capture of its leader, warlord Joseph Kony, the documentary has gone viral. Tens of millions have seen it, including celebrities like Rihanna and George Clooney. And donations have been pouring in.

BEN KEESEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CEO, INVISIBLE CHILDREN INC.: The beauty of "Kony 2012" is it starts with a movie. The movie is the entry point to a mission, and the mission involves influencing our policymakers, influencing our culture makers, so they can take the steps on the ground from disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of all of the LRA fighters.

VASSILEVA (voice-over): But "Kony 2012" has also generated controversy for its simplistic presentation.

ISHMAEL BEAH, FORMER CHILD SOLDIER: If you`re not interested in the geographies and the complexity of it, to know that it`s not black and white, to delve into that, the fact that you can`t glamorize this stuff, then I think you have no business in me being a changemaker.

VASSILEVA (voice-over): The war is over in northern Uganda. Kony soldiers, now a depleted force, have fled to Sudan and Central African Republic, but they still hold children captive.

AZUZ (voice-over): All right. So many Americans didn`t know Kony`s name a month ago. Now it seems like it`s everywhere on social media. And that`s what we`re asking about today on our blog. Why has this taken off to such an extent on social media? Talk to us at cnnstudentnews.com.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Ms. Frizzell`s seventh grade students at Arcohe School in Herald, California. What is the capital of Texas? You know what to do.

Is it Dallas, Houston, Austin or San Antonio? You`ve got three seconds, go.

If you`re looking for the capital of Texas, head to Austin. That`s your answer, and that`s your Shoutout.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: For 25 years, Austin has also been home to the South by Southwest conference. Originally this was just a music festival, 700 people attending the first one. Now South by Southwest includes movies and technology and around 32,000 people show up in Austin for it every year. This year, that includes CNN`s Brooke Baldwin. She gives us a quick look around.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKE BALDWIN, ANCHOR, CNN NEWSROOM: So here we are, just outside the Austin Convention Center. This is basically the epicenter of South by Southwest. Inside there are hundreds of vendors, start-up companies trying to create buzz about their new product, maybe their new app.

It is a rainy day in Austin. You need one of these. You got your phone. Definitely no high heels here. Let`s go inside.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

BALDWIN: Well, sorry, this is how everyone here at the circus that is South by Southwest walks. Everybody is staring at their phones, and I tell you, we want to show you one thing, and we get turned off into something else. It`s like information interactive overload on all these different hallways, there are different vendors trying to get the buzz out about the big next thing.

It was 2007 when Twitter really took off. They started Foursquare here at South by, and so we`re just kind of checking it out with everyone else from all around the world to see what the next top thing is.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is Zee Board (ph). It`s something like a skateboard. You lean forward to go and you lean back to stop. Rotate on the pad and lean forward.

BALDWIN: Sweet Jesus!

(LAUGHTER)

BALDWIN: And this is just one thing that jumped out at us. You know, it just shows that this may be the interactive portion of this festival, but take a look at this. There are all these different sort of columns all around the Austin Convention Center talking about, you know, politics.

This is probably one of the, maybe, films. Music to go to tonight. Check it out. You know, the anonymous here or there are the little codes where you can use your phone to find out what this is.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit? U.S. territories like Guam and the Virgin Islands are part of the presidential nominating process.

Totally true. Territories hold presidential primaries and caucuses, just like states.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: One U.S. territory is holding a caucus today, and it is not alone. Voters in American Samoa and Hawaii will get together at meetings to talk about their preferences among presidential candidates.

Mississippi and Alabama are holding primaries, when people cast individual votes.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Primary or caucus, the name of the game for the Republican candidates is delegates. You need to win enough to get your party`s nomination. There are more than 100 delegates up for grabs today.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: All right. Time for your comments. A judge in Rhode Island permanently revoked a teenage driver`s license after he broke several laws and got into a terrible wreck.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

Jacob says a strong punishment, maybe several years without a license would be in order, but not a lifetime suspension.

John writes, "His license should be revoked, because he shouldn`t have been driving if his license was already suspended at the time."

Mya thinks the punishment is too harsh. He might need a long-term ban, but not a lifetime ban for Rhode Island.

Grace calls the punishment "completely fair. He was given the warning of having his license suspended, so by using it when he wasn`t allow to shows the authority that he`s not taking his actions seriously."

Mitch argues the suspension should last for one to two years. It`s just not fair to punish the driver permanently.

And from Taylor, "Teenagers are never taken seriously as drivers; adults expect us to crash, and we need to prove them wrong. Start permanently taking licenses, then teens will learn to be smart around the wheel."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): "Schools of Thought": it`s CNN`s new education blog, and it`s for parents, teachers, students, anyone who`s ever been a student. One of the posts you`ll find on there today: is high school football too violent? The "Schools of Thought" blog. Check it out at cnnstudentnews.com.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Before we go, if you have a fondness for fromage, then this is --

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): -- "wheelie" the event for you. It`s the world championship cheese contest, where the cream rises to the top. Competitors from all over the world brought more than 2,500 samples to the event. It`s where they separate the "Gouda" from the great. The event was open to the public, so people could come in and taste some of the different varieties.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: They were complete "un-feta-ed" access -- a cheese pun? How dare you. Maybe you thought that was a "Muenster" of a pun. Maybe you think we "bleu" it. Either way everyone can agree it was definitely cheesy. Back tomorrow with more CNN Student News. I`m Carl Azuz.
