I am Asieh Namdar at the CNN.com newsroom in Atlanta, here is a look at what’s happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

 

Despite warnings from Iraq, Turkey is continuing its ground offensive into northern Iraq. The Turkish military says 7 Turkish troops and 79 Kurdish rebels have been killed in clashes since Thursday. Turkey says its targeting rebels were the attack Turkish targets from bases in northern Iraq, and Iraqi government spokesman says the operation won’t solve the problem and the Kurdish president is warning of large scale resistance if civilians1 are targeted. Turkey, the US and EU consider the PKK rebels a terrorist group.

 

A sixth day of massive Serb protests in Kosovo, 2000 ethnic2 Serb demonstrators marched in the border town of Mitrovica which is opposed to Kosovo’s independence. UN forces stormed a cordon3 to keep them separated from ethnic Arabians for a majority in the province.

 

The Air Force says one of the pilots abroad ill-fated B-2 Stealth bomber4 is out of the hospital. The bomber crashed on the island of Guam in the western Pacific. The two pilots ejected before it hit the ground. The Air Force says the other pilot man is in good condition and that the crash is being investigated.

 

Quick quick quick! Check those lottery5 tickets, it could be the one who has the big jackpot in last night’s multisatae Mega Million dollar drawing. That single winning ticket is worth the 270 million dollars and was sold in Portal, Georgia. The winning numbers: 7,12,13,19,22 and the mega ball number is 10. At least 3 dozen people who matched 5 numbers minus the mega ball get 250 thousand dollars each.

 

And following that kind of story we like to talk about here are CNN.com live. And a move by Japan that could bring Internet service faster than cable or DSL. Japan launched a rocket carrying an experimental satellite aimed at providing super-high speed Internet to homes and businesses among the world. Subscribers will need a small dish to connect though and the service will initially6 focus on the Asia pacific region close to Japan.

 

And those were the headlines at this hour, for more on these stories and other news of the day, CNN is your source online on TV or when you are on the go.
