 It's Friday and that is awesome. So it's the fact that most of us gonna get an extra hour of  sleep this weekend, can't wait for that. Today we are going explain to why the tradition has started.

First up, Greece's debt crisis overshadowed just about everything else at the G20 economic conference. World learders are meeting in France to talk about global finantial issues. President Obama who is at the G20 meeting says the most important thing they need to do is to resolve Europe's financial problems. Greece's debt is a big part of that.

There's a deal that would give Greece a financial bailout but it comes with rules about cutting government's spending that's made a lot of Greek citizens angry. The country's P.M shocked a lot of people earlier this week, when he said he wanted his citizens to vote on whether they wanted the bailout. Yesterday, he seemed to change his mind and said the vote may not be necessily.

17 European countries including Greece all use the same currency; it's the Euro. If one of those economies takes a big hit, it could have a seriously negative affect on all the others. Our reporter explains it was a different story when the currency was first introduced.

Reporter:
It was heralded as a tool that would change the status quo of the global economy, a challenger to the dominance of the U.S dollar and Japanese yen.
"A majority of the E.U's politicians agreed that a single currency ,to be called the Euro, will benefit trade, guard against inflation and eliminate exchange rate risks." But in the face of monetary unity, Those divisions with protests stretching from Spain to Germany.
Across Europe, acoording to one survey, consumers are more negative than positive about coming of the Euro, Many worry that businessees owners takes advantage of odd exchange rates to round off prices upward.

"Will the euro be a benefit or a lose for everybody?"
"It's big step towards the union and the union most of the time means peace"
"Countries that are economically worse off. We will end up paying for and then before you know it, there will be another war.

European leaders were on the hard sell, paininting the Euro as an economic and even social savior.
"In the long run such a project will, in fact, contribute to the kinds of things our citizens are looking for : security, the absense of crime, the absense of drugs, prosperity jobs, trade, investment"
"The euro is the beginning of a stronger European Union. we shall be the best in the world"

Next up, a milestone for China's space program. Last month, the country launched a laboratory module into orbit. On Tuesday, China sent up an unmanned spacecraft. Yesterday, the two came together. China's government says the successful docking is another step on the way to building its space station. For now, the module and spaceship will be used to run some experiments. Then the ship will come back to earth whereas the module stays in space. China plans to try another docking test, one with astronaut on board. That will happen some time next year.

On this day in history

If you have been watching our show over the past month or so, you've probably heard of occupied wall street. This protest movement doesn't have a specific leader or demands. But a lot of the protests seem to target the U.S financial industry. In new york city, it has been going on for more than 40 days, but the protests are happening in other parts of the U.S. as well. For the most part, they have been peaceful, That hasn't always been the case in california.
What you are seeing is the video from  Oakland. Protesters there have been fighting with police officers.
Yesterday, some protesters started throwing rocks at the police, who then use tear gas to try to break up the scene.
Members of the occupied movement are blameing the violence on a radical group among the protesters.


In the U.S. daylight saving time is coming to an end this weekend. It means for most of us, it is going to get darker an hour earlier.
But why do we have the day light saving time? How did it all that get started? Our reporter takes a look back at why we fall back early sunday morning.

Reporter:
This is not a complex issue. Daylight saving is self explanatory. It is saving daylight. Originally, daylight saving was one of those things where it was originally for agrarian societies.  It was to use then, get the most use out of as much daylight as you possibly could. It was certainly helpful with farmers and it would certainly help for fisherman. but then later, in later years, it actually began --daylight savings was actually practiced for the sole purpose of really saving energy.

We have been following daylight saving time in the U.S. for quite a while. It really first became official back during World War one for the sake of growing extra food for troops overseas. It was brought back for World War Two. But recently. it was the energy policy act of 2005 that was really different maker that have made it more of a formal type of exercise that has been basically followed by every states in the U.S, with a few excepttions - that being of course Arizona, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the American Samoas.

Internationally, It's kind of a hodgepodge around the globe. If you took a look at the planet. and you were to light up a places when you that were expriencing daylight saving, you'd see really a hop, skip, and a jump from one continent to the other. It's kind of varied, wherever happen to do.
There are some places I can tell you in Africa where there are many spots where they don't practice it. 
There are many places obviously in parts of Asia. Europe, though, practices it for the most of the part.

Okay, now we are getting to the nitty-gritty stuff. This is the stuff that drives people crazy.
To me, it's daylight saving. It's a verb. It's something we are doing. 'we are saving daylight.' Savings is a noun. That is something you have at the bank. Obviously, we are using the verb.
It's very possible that at some point we may indeed get rid of daylight saving time. But for the time being, it is certainly here, and it is something we gotta deal with, for better or for worse.

Just the facts.
Veteran's day is celebrated every year on November 11th. That's because it's the date that an armistice went into affect ending World War one. In fact, veteran's day was originally called armistice day.
In the U.S. it became a federal holiday in 1938 and the name was changed to veteran's day in 1954. The holiday honors all of the man and woman who have ever served in the U.S arm forces.
Veteran's day is a week away. We are getting started early because we want you to be part of our coverage.

We wanna hear why you think it's important to honor America's veterans and how you and your class are planning to do it. A Couple ways to tell us. They are both at our website.  You can comment on our blog or if you are at least 13, you can send us an i-report. Find a how to do that in the spotlight section, Cnn student news.com.

Trent Glaze is a high school senior. This past friday, his school's football team played its last game of the season. They didn't win, but they did get to run one special play. After the clock hit at zero, the teams lined back up and Trent took a handoff all the way to the in-zone.
He has been in an wheelchair for ten years because of muscular dystrophy. So this was the first time that he was able to be part of a play.
His coach says, 'he has always been an inspiration.' "Hopefully, our young people, our players will take his drive and his heart and run with it, you know, for years to come."
"It's emotional. I mean I still get butterflies thinking about it"

And finally today. A vending machine that offers snacks and high in protein.  Fact, they are pretty much all protein because this machine dispenses meat, stakes, pork chops, sausages. It's called the smart butcher.
The store's owner who installed it says it sells about 10 to 20 different meats of a day. The prices are pretty good, too.The guys at local deli might feel a little threatened. Now you don't have to visit them.
Thanks to this machine, you can vend for yourself. It is the first of its kind in Alabama, and residents say they have never saw such a(_sausage_) thing before.

They seem to like it. So I hope it doesn't get removed because that would be a cold cut.
Those are great puns now matter how you slice it.  Just glad I didn't butcheter any of them. Remember to set your clocks back this weekend. It will "meat" again Monday for more Cnn student's news.
