 Thank you so much for watching our penultimate program of the school year. I'm Car Azuz. Our first story today on CNN Student News actually started more than 2 years ago.

That's when the violence began in the Middle East nation of Syria. In March of 2011, some people started protesting against Syria's government. The government reacted with force, eventually rebels armed themselves and started fighting back. The United Nations estimates that nearly 70,000 people Syrians, most of them civilians1, have been kille the country civil war. Both sides have claimed victories in it, the latest victory is by the government. On Wednesday, Syrian forces took control of the city of Qusair, that's after nearly 7 weeks of fighting.
Qusair is in a strategic2 location which is why so important to both the government and the rebels. Syrian officials are celebrating their victory; rebel groups are promising3 to continue their fight, despite losing this battle. And thousands of civilians living in Qusair don't know what their future holds.
Next, we're moving over to Europe where couple of countries Germany, and Czech Republic are struggling through severe weather.
--Large areas in central and eastern Europe have been hit by this floods right now, the Czech Republic several people have died. A lot of water that you are seeing here in Meissen actually is coming from the Czech Republic.
CNN reporter Frederik Pleitgen was in the German city of Meissen where river levels are more than 4 times higher than average. Here is what it looks like in other parts of Germany. What's happening is that heavy rain has cuased the waters in several major rivers, like the Danube and the Elba, to rise. These images are from the Czech Republic, a huge part of that country is under a state of emergency. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated4 because of these floods. Forecasters are predicting more heavy rain for this weekend
