From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Reggie Aqui. Here's what’s happening NOW IN THE NEWS.


Wall Street got off to a shaky start this morning in the wake of yesterday’s 504-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Well today, the Dow rebounded 1 after a 150-point drop in the opening minutes. So far, today's tradings are partial recovery in shares of insurance giant AIG and several other financial companies.


And you know the presidential candidate has something to say about all this. Senator John McCain is taking some heed 2 for his remarks yesterday .He said, quoting him, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." .He said that even as the Dow plunged 3 more than 500 points, McCain is calling for a high-level commission to look into the economic crisis. Now the Obama campaign answered back, releasing a new TV ad that asks "How can John McCain fix our economy if he doesn't understand it's broken."


As for the man currently in the White House, President Bush is keeping tabs on Hurricane Ike and recovery .His first stop on the day-long tour through Texas' hardest-hit areas was Houston. He asked people to donate to the recovery effort and warned against disaster fatigue 4. The President says he is not relying solely 5 on public support.


Relief is on the way for the more than 30,000 evacuees 6 desperately 7 in need of more food, water and ice. To meet the statewide demands, they are quadrupling distribution centers to 60 today. Residents of Galveston are being warned it maybe months before the city reopens .City officials say for now, the Barrier Island can't safely accommodate its population. The death toll 8 so far, is at 40 with most of the deaths happening outside of Texas.


A Las Vegas jury hears today from one of the men who claims O.J Simpson and others held him at gunpoint and robbed him in a casino hotel room .Bruce Fromong’s testimony 9 was suspended yesterday when he became ill on the witness stand, by the way ,that is not who we are looking at right there. Simpson and the co-defendant have pled not guilty to 12 charges stemming from the confrontation 10 a year ago.


And those are your headlines this hour. Please stick with CNN for more on these stories and the other news of the day.
