I am Ashieh Namdar at the CNN.com newsroom in Atlanta. Here's a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

India claims that it has evidence linking Pakistanis to the Mumbai terror attacks. Our sister network CNN-IBN reports authorities found phones and a global positioning device aboard a small boat found drifting off Mumbai. Investigators1 also found a bound body on board. Indian authorities also say a phone's call log showed calls made to Pakistan. The country's  prime minister, Pakistan's prime minister says his country is not involved and has even offered assistance in helping2 find whoever is responsible.

A concert aimed at focusing attention on the global environmental crisis has been cancelled because of the deadly attacks in Mumbai. The organizers of  Live Earth India say they always felt safe while in that city and were stunned3 by this week's events. Live Earth India was scheduled to take place in Mumbai next Sunday.

OPEC has put up a decision on cutting oil production until December 17th. OPEC members met in Cairo to discuss falling oil prices and whether members were complying with a 1.5-million-barrel per day output cut announced in October. Demand for oil continues to drop due to  sagging4 economies across the globe. Oil prices closed Friday at $54 a barrel.

A fight between two women at a Toys "R" Us checkout5 in Palm Desert, California ended with two men dead. Police say the two men intervened to break up the fight. They began arguing then pulled out their guns and shot one another. No one else was hurt. Police say the argument was not over a toy.

And the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor is waiting on their official go-ahead from mission control to head home. The shuttle is due back on earth on Sunday but nasty weather in the Southeast may delay its return. Endeavore's astronauts have enough supplies to last until Tuesday if the weather doesn't cooperate. During their 16-day mission, Endeavor delivered extra bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms and a new waste recycling system to the International Space Station.

And those are 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're on the go
