From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I’m Asieh Namdar. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
A senior UN envoy 1 is appealing to officials in Myanmar to get more foreign aid to cyclone 2 survivors 3. The envoy arrived in that country today. Also Myanmar's military leader visited two relief camps for survivors for the first time since that storm hit two weeks ago. Aid groups have warned children are particularly vulnerable and say thousands may die in the next weeks if they don't get more food quickly.
Al-Qaeda says Osama Bin 4 Laden 5 will soon issue, in its words, a very strong message to the Muslim nation. The announcement appeared on a website Al-Qaeda frequently uses. No word if it would be a new statement. Thursday an audio message attributed to Bin Laden urged his followers 6 to liberate 7 Palestine.
A Chicago-based company is recalling ground beef that may be tainted 8 with E. coli. That meat was distributed in 11 states in the East and West, from Florida to Nebraska. The beef under the name "Morreale Meat" was produced by JSM Meat Holdings. Federal officials say there are no reports of any illness.
Doctors say Senator Edward Kennedy did not suffer a stroke and is not in immediate 9 danger after having what they described as a seizure 10. The veteran Democrat 11 was airlifted to a Boston hospital from an emergency room near his family compound in Cape 12 Cod 13, Massachusetts yesterday. Doctors say he’s resting comfortably and scheduled to undergo more tests.
And it's been two days and no one has come forward to claim the 196-million-dollar Jackpot in Friday's Mega Millions Lottery 14. One ticket sold in a Cincinnatian liquor store had all six lucky numbers. WOW.
