         THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM
         AND MAY BE UPDATED.

         CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Bringing you headlines from
         around the globe, this is CNN Student News! I'm Carl Azuz. Hope
         you had a great weekend. Let's get started.

         First Up: Obama Afghanistan Trip

         AZUZ: First up, President Obama talks about the relationship
         between the U.S. and Afghanistan during a surprise visit to the
         south Asian country. Yesterday, he met with Afghan President Hamid
         Karzai. The two talked about Afghanistan's ability to give
         security to its people. President Obama also visited an American
         military base, and in his words, that was the main reason for his
         trip.

         U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: There's no visit that I consider more
         important than this visit I'm making right now, because I have no
         greater honor than serving as your commander in chief. And it's a
         privilege to look out and see the extraordinary efforts of
         America's sons and daughters here in Afghanistan. So, my main job
         here today is to say thank you on behalf of the entire American
         people.

         Recess Appointments

         AZUZ: Back in America, some of President Obama's political
         appointments are raising controversy. That's because they are
         recess appointments. Basically, the president filled some
         government positions without those people being approved by
         Congress. President Obama made 15 recess appointments over the
         weekend. They include positions at the Treasury Department,
         Homeland Security, the Labor Relations Board. Recess appointments
         aren't unusual. The Constitution gives the president the power to
         make them when the Senate is not in session. President George W.
         Bush made 15 in 2002. What's controversial about them is that if
         Congress were in session, it would have to vote on these
         appointments. So, some argue that making them during a
         congressional recess bypasses advice and consent. On CNN's "State
         of the Union" yesterday, one of president Obama's advisers argued
         why the recess appointments were necessary while a top Republican
         Senator argued why they're a bad idea.

         DAVID AXELROD, SENIOR WHITE HOUSE ADVISER: We are in a position
         where the Republican Party has taken a position where they're
         going to try and slow and block progress on all fronts, whether
         it's legislation or appointments.

         SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER, (R) TENNESSEE: What it is called is checks
         and balances. And what the president has done here is throw fuel
         on the fire at a time when the civil, when the debate about
         politics is a very angry debate to begin with.

         Tea Party Rally

         AZUZ: The Tea Party Express is on the road again, headlining the
         "Just Vote Them Out" tour. It kicked off this weekend in
         Searchlight, Nevada; that's the hometown of Democratic Senate
         Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Tea Party movement -- Tea standing
         for "taxed enough already" -- has been speaking out against
         government programs and policies. Paul Steinhauser, CNN's deputy
         political director, explains a little bit more about the Tea
         Party's plans.

         PAUL STEINHAUSER, CNN DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR: Tea Party
         activists say they oppose what they call the big government
         policies of this president, which include the federal stimulus
         package and the new health care reform law. A Tea Party Express
         spokesman tells me they'll make over 40 stops over the next few
         weeks, calling on activists to vote out of office lawmakers who
         they say are not listening to their constituents.

         AZUZ: It wasn't just Tea being served this weekend. The Coffee
         Party held meetings across the country, as well. It's a smaller
         group that seems to be a response to the Tea Party movement. They
         both are upset with the government. But while the Tea Party, you
         see them holding large rallies, the Coffee Party is organizing
         smaller meetings to discuss political issues.

         Trapped Miners

         AZUZ: Moving overseas to China, where an underground flood gushed
         into a coal mine yesterday, threatening hundreds of miners.
         China's coal mines are the most dangerous in the world. More than
         100 workers in this mine were rescued from the flood. But as of
         yesterday afternoon, another 123 workers were still trapped.

          West Bank Closure

         AZUZ: Next up, the Middle East, and a plan to close the West Bank
         region during the Jewish holiday of Passover. The festival
         celebrates the Israelites' escape from Egyptian slavery. It starts
         tonight and lasts for a week. The West Bank is one of the areas at
         the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel's
         government says it's closing off the area because of concerns
         about violence. It's common for these kinds of closures to happen
         during Jewish holidays. Certain groups of people, like lawyers,
         doctors, and those who need medical help, will be allowed in and
         out of the West Bank.

         Iraqi Election

         AZUZ: And over in Iraq, the results of this month's parliamentary
         election are in. Now, it's time to put together the country's new
         government. Ayad Allawi is the man who's trying to do that. His
         party won the most seats in the Iraqi parliament. That means he
         will likely be the new prime minister, a role that he held back in
         2004.

         Earth Hour

         AZUZ: And cities all over the world were involved in Earth Hour
         over the weekend. This event, designed to raise awareness about
         climate change, and the way it works is pretty simple: For one
         hour, you just turn off the lights. Normally, a screen going dark
         wouldn't be that interesting, but this is cool to watch. Famous
         landmarks all around the globe, all going dark. The Empire State
         Building, the Eiffel Tower. Three years ago, Earth Hour started
         off just in Australia. This year, organizers said 126 countries
         were part of it.

         Shoutout

         APRIL WILLIAMS, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Today's Shoutout goes out to Mr.
         Roberts' world history classes at Kecoughtan High School in
         Hampton, Virginia! Which of these events takes place in April? Is
         it: A) Hispanic Heritage Month, B) Financial Literacy Month, C)
         National Nutrition Month or D) National Umbrella Month? You've got
         three seconds -- GO! April is Financial Literacy Month, a time to
         learn about finances and how to manage them. That's your answer
         and that's your Shoutout!

         Managing Finances

         AZUZ: All right, let's say someone hands you twenty bucks. What
         are you more likely to do: go to the mall or go to the bank? You
         know what your parents and financial advisers would probably
         recommend: the bank. And with Financial Literacy Month almost upon
         us, Deborah Feyerick follows a banker who's helping inner city
         students get rich in knowledge, knowledge that could help them get
         simply rich.

         (BEGIN VIDEO)

         DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT, NEW YORK: You may wonder what
         the co-founder of a multibillion dollar hedge fund is doing in
         Harlem.

         STEVEN MANDIS, HARLEM INVESTMENT TRAINING: That seems about right.

         FEYERICK: He is teaching a course on money, or rather, financial
         responsibility.
         What do you this is the biggest thing holding these kids back?

         MANDIS: Access.

         FEYERICK: Meet former Goldman Sachs banker and trader Steven
         Mandis. These are his students, most of them seniors at the
         Thurgood Marshall Academy on 135th street.
         What would you say is the biggest misperception when it comes from
         people thinking about this area and the inner city?

         MALCOLM WICKS, THURGOOD MARSHALL ACADEMY STUDENT: They think that
         we are street smart and not actually book smart. But, it is our
         goal and it is up to us to get past that.

         FEYERICK: Malcolm Wicks and his classmates grew up in the inner
         city surrounded by crime, drugs, poverty, gangs. Now, once a week
         after school, these teens learn about things like investing and
         mortgages.

         MANDIS: How much do you typically want to have as a deposit when
         you are buying a home? About 20 percent.

         WICKS: Everything I learn, I bring home to my parents and my
         family. And so, they get a clear understanding of what I'm
         getting.

         FEYERICK: Are they, are your parents, a little surprised? Did they
         say, "Boy, I wish I had known that?"

         UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

         FEYERICK: Though Wall Street is just a subway ride away, none of
         them has ever spent time there, much less met anyone who worked
         there.

         ANBESSA TIWONI, THURGOOD MARSHALL ACADEMY STUDENT: Before Steve
         came, it always seemed like it was a secret, and now he, like,
         unveiled it.

         FEYERICK: Anbessa Tiwoni is 15 and the only sophomore in the
         group.

         TIWONI: Yes, it's like learning to sing from Beyonce.

         FEYERICK: Learning, for example, how to ask the right questions,
         like the day they analyzed the credit crisis. Roleplaying, Anbessa
         asked...

         TIWONI: Do you have proof and documentation?

         MANDIS: And I said, geez, if somebody had just asked that common
         question at the beginning, we would probably would not be in this
         big a trouble as we are. And it's a matter of giving them the
         confidence that they understand that that's actually a very good
         question. That's sort of a big part of finance.

         FEYERICK: Before you started this class, when you thought about
         people who were really rich, who did you think of?

         SHAQUEEN HINTON, THURGOOD MARSHALL ACADEMY STUDENT: Bill Gates.

         FEYERICK: Who else?

         HINTON: Oprah Winfrey.

         TIWONI: Athletes.

         FEYERICK: Now, they have learned to see wealth differently.

         HINTON: It's not about how much you can spend. It's about how much
         you can save.

         FEYERICK: It's about how much you get to save. And Malcolm?
         WICKS: She took the words out of my mouth.

         FEYERICK: In your mind, what is success? If these kids go off to
         run a Fortune 500 company, or something perhaps more modest?

         WICKS: Success, I think, is for them to be happy, and I think part
         of happiness is having control of your own financial destiny.

         AZUZ: So, do you have control of your financial destiny? Maybe you
         don't have enough money yet to control. But this Financial
         Literacy Month, we want to know what questions you have about
         money, besides how to get it. You might ask how to best invest
         your savings, what you should do with 20 bucks. Ask on our blog;
         we may answer on our show! Also, for a list of financial terms,
         check out our free Financial Glossary. It's all as close as
         CNNStudentNews.com.

         Before We Go

         AZUZ: Before we go, these pictures are great! The police are
         usually trying to stop a getaway. But this officer's trying to
         make one. Can you blame him? That dog is tearing the bumper right
         off of his car! You've heard of obstruction of justice? This is
         destruction of justice! That dog is either really mean or really
         hungry; we can't figure that out. Nobody was hurt in this,
         including the dog; he's now back with his owners. But he does have
         to take obedience classes.

         Goodbye

         AZUZ: And that seems fair. While the dog probably begged for
         forgiveness, the judge wouldn't roll over on the punishment. We
         better stop before we bite off more than we can chew. For CNN
         Student News, I'm Carl Azuz.
