Hello, I'm Melissa Long here at the CNN Center in Atlanta on this Wednesday, August 6th. Here's a look at some of the stories happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
A split verdict just in, in the trail of Osama bin 1 Laden's former driver, Salim Hamdan. A jury of six military officers at Guantanamo Bay have found him not guilty of conspiracy 2 charges. These are the more serious allegations. However, jurors did find him guilty of supporting terrorism. Hamdan could face a maximum sentence of life in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for later today.
Chinese basketball star Yao Ming helps carry the Olympic torch into Beijing in a massive celebration. For the next three days, prominent Chinese will get an opportunity to carry the torch throughout the capital. The torch will finish its tour, of course, on Friday at the opening ceremony. Now despite tight security, international activists 3 unfurled pro-Tibet banners outside of the Bird's Nest National Stadium. Four people were led away by police. Chinese officials said they hoped international visitors would abide 4 by local laws and regulations.
Eleven people have been arrested for allegedly stealing more than 40 million credit card and debit 5 card numbers from shoppers. At least nine major US retailers 6 were hacked 7 in Boston and San Diego. The theft started in 2003 and continued through this year. Investigators 8 say hackers 9 used sophisticated techniques to steal sensitive information from wireless 10 networks.
Prime time television is oversexed and doesn't respect marriage. That's what a study by the conservative TV watchdog group, the Parents Television Council, has found. The group says scripted shows (depict 11 marriage, excuse me) depict sex in marriage as negative, while positively 12 reinforcing extramarital affairs. It says references to adultery outnumbered references to marital 13 sex two to one. The networks cited in the study had no comment.
And how do you get a litter of puppies out of an unreachable hole. That's the puzzle today, aren't they cute? Really the puzzle for a Phoenix 14 group as well, a rescue group in Phoenix. A dog has given birth to the nine puppies under a portable classroom. Plumbers 15 and a construction company had to pitch in, cutting a hole in the floor and then taking out the pipes in the concrete under the classroom. As you can see, all the little puppies made it out safely. And now, of course, I'm sure they are looking for a new home.
