Good afternoon from the CNN.com Headquarters in Atlanta, I'm Reggie Aqui. Here's a look at what is happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer will leave office on Monday. That is exactly one week after news broke that he had allegedly engaged the services of a high-price prostitute. The Democrat 2 announced his decision this morning. Lieutenant 3 Governor David Peterson, also a Democrat, will succeed Spitzer. He will be the first African-American governor in New York history. Peterson is also legally blind and a prominent advocate for the disabled.
Southwest Airlines has grounded dozens of planes over potential structural 4 damage. The airline notified the FAA this morning about its decision to take 44 planes out of service .Federal regulators are considering fining the carrier more than 10 million dollars for flying dozens of jets last year without mandatory 5 inspections 6 for cracks in the fuselage. Inspectors 7 allege 1 another 70 jets were allowed to fly in violation 8 of required safety checks. Southwest has placed 3 employees on administrative 9 leave while it investigates.
In Chapel 10 Hill, North Carolina, police are questioning a man called "a person of interest" in the shooting death of UNC Student Body President Eve Carson. He was taken into custody 11 in an overnight police raid in Durham. Police have focused their investigation 12 on surveillance photos of a man trying to use her ATM. One shows the man driving an SUV believed to have belonged to Carson; other images show what appears to be the same man inside a convenience store. The 22-year-old victim was found last Wednesday on a street about a mile from campus. She was shot several times. The Athens Ga. native was a senior biology and political science major at UNC.
The Pentagon denies that the top military commander in the Middle East was forced out of his job. Adm. William Fallon resigned yesterday. Some congressional Democrats 13 suggested the Bush administration wanted Fallon out because he was at odds 14 with top officials over Iran. In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Fallon was quoted as saying Washington's constant drumbeat of conflict directed at Iran was not helpful and not useful. Defense 15 Secretary Robert Gates says Fallon made the decision to step down entirely 16 on his own.
