Good morning, I’m Melissa Long here at the CNN Centre in Atlanta. It’s Friday morning, TGIF, the second day of October. Here is a look at some of the stories happening NOW IN THE NEWS.



President Obama says Chicago and the US would make the world proud if it hosts the 2016 Summer Games. He made his plea to the International Olympic Committee in Denmark over night. Chicago, Tokyo, Rio and Madrid, we’re gonna find out which city wins this afternoon.


The US may never be able to declare victory in Iraq. That’s from the war’s top commander US Army General Ray Odierno. He says it's because no one may know if victory is achieved for five or ten years. Yesterday Odierno said the US is still on track to gradually withdraw its troops.


“The creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who worked for me on the show, now my response to that is, yes I have.”
At this point, the audience, still trying to figure out where David Letterman was going, didn’t quite know how to respond when the Late Night Show host admitted having sexual relations with women who worked for him became clean after a man allegedly tried to blackmail 1 him for two million dollars. That man, who works with the CBS show--48 Hours Mystery, was arrested Thursday.


For the first time, Elizabeth Smart talked publicly about her kidnapping seven years ago. Yesterday in court, she described her kidnaper Brian David Mitchell as evil, wicked and slimy. And she says Mitchell raped 2 her three or four times a day and threatened to kill her if she tried to escape. Smart’s father says she actually wanted to face Mitchell in court and asked if he could be muzzled 3 for the hearing.
“You know, there were certainly a lot of things that I had never heard before. And I had, I had no idea what she had gone through­­­­­­ -- so much out there.”


Those are the headlines for you this hour. Do stay with CNN and CNN.COM for more on these stories or other news that develops today.
