DANIELLE ELIAS, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Glad to have you along for this Friday edition of CNN Student News! I'm Danielle Elias. We're going to wrap up our week long series on Martin Luther King Jr. in just a moment. But first, today's headlines.

First Up: Need to Know Headlines

ELIAS: Northern Europe is recovering from an unusually fierce storm that sent hurricane-force winds sweeping over the continent. Flights were cancelled, trains were stopped, and at least 27 deaths are blamed on the system. One British weather expert says it's unusual to have 77-mile-per-hour winds so far inland. In Germany, gusts well over a 100 miles per hour were recorded.

ELIAS: China has tested both a new missile and its international relations. We found out yesterday that the communist nation sent up the missile last week. It destroyed one of China's old weather satellites 537 miles above earth. But U.S. officials don't like the idea of American satellites being potential targets. President Bush authorized a policy last year that claims a right to "freedom of action" in space.

ELIAS: Sony's Playstation-3 was hard to find before Christmas -- fist fights, a robbery, even a shooting. It sold out wherever it was stocked, and sold on ebay at a big premium. This month, it's a different game, so to speak. Home Media magazine reports PS3's can be found on many retail shelves. While Nintendo's Wii and DS keep selling out. Home Media says one problem for the PS3 is the lack of "must have" game titles.

Week in Review

ELIAS: White House Spokesman Tony Snow says President Bush will not change his mind about sending more troops to Iraq. Supporters say it'll help stem the violence there, while opponents say Iraqis need to do that themselves. Carl Azuz has details on that story and more, in our week in review.

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Marches, parades, and even essay contests were held in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, over the holiday named after the civil rights leader. In Georgia, the Atlanta History Center gave the public its first glimpse of Dr. King's private papers, which included sermons and notes.

AZUZ: But a major winter storm caused some celebrations to be cancelled. Ice crystallized on trees, roads and power lines from Texas to Maine this week, causing dozens of deaths and knocking out electricity to hundreds of thousands. Some people had to endure sub-freezing temperatures for days without heat.

WOMAN ON THE STREET: Went to bed like this, with a sweater, and a shirt -- It was really cold.

AZUZ: And in California, an unusual cold snap could cost citrus farmers hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.

AZUZ: In Iraq, two former members of Saddam Hussein's regime were buried on Monday, shortly after they were executed for crimes against humanity. Religious and insurgent attacks wracked Baghdad. A series of bombings shattered parts of the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, killing more than 100 people and wounding hundreds of others. Subsequent attacks in the days that followed claimed dozens MORE lives.

AZUZ: On Capitol Hill, some senators began working on bills that oppose President Bush's plan to send additional U.S. troops to the Gulf nation. But the president said the plan was the best he'd heard so far, and that it wasn't Congress' responsibility to reverse his decision.

AZUZ: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice traveled to the Middle East and Europe to promote the administration's new plan for Iraq:

CONDOLEEZZA RICE, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE: An Iraq in which all Iraqis and all Iraqi citizens are treated equally and count on the protection of the state without regard to religion or ethnicity.

AZUZ: It's one of the most famous faces in sports, and you're going to see it a lot more on American fields.(找到了嗎?這里,大概在) International superstar David Beckham will fill a slot on the Los Angeles Galaxy Major League Soccer team. So what's it worth to him? According to most estimates, he stands to gain around 250-million dollars, when you figure in endorsements. That's your Week in Review! I'm Carl Azuz for CNN Student News.

You'll hear more about it in the next story. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

MLK: Words that changed a nation

ELIAS: A popular U2 song takes an uplifting view of Martin Luther King's last moments. After the line, "a shot rings out in the Memphis sky" come the words, "free at last, they took your life, they could not take your pride." In our last special report of the week, Soledad O'Brien recalls the final speech of a man who lived what he preached.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN REPORTER: Early in 1968, black garbage workers went on strike over low wages in Memphis, Tennessee.

REV. BILLY KYLES : Many of them could work the whole month and still qualify for welfare. That's how low the wages were.

O'BRIEN: Garbage piled up. When talks broke down, police maced black workers in the street. Rev. Billy Kyles asked King to come to Memphis. King's staff opposed it.

KYLES: So Martin got word of it and said, "wait a minute, no, no, no. The garbage men, these were the folks we're talking about. The working poor. We got to go to Memphis."

O'BRIEN: King came, made a speech, and agreed to lead a protest march, but it all fell apart when black youth began breaking store windows. Police attacked with billy clubs and tear gas. King had failed to prevent what he had always preached against: violence.

KYLES: He said, "We've got to have a peaceful march in Memphis."

O'BRIEN: King returned April third, 1968, staying at the Lorraine Motel. In the traveling case he was carrying, was this quote on a well-worn scrap of paper:

KING QUOTE: Gandhi speaks for us: "In the midst of death, life persists. In the midst of darkness, light persists." We are today in the midst of death and darkness. We can strengthen life and live by our personal acts by saying "no" to violence, by saying "yes" to life.

O'BRIEN: That night, King spoke to an overflow crowd at a black church.

KYLES: He talked about death more than I heard him talk about it at any one given.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop.

O'BRIEN: Andrew Young told me it was a speech Doctor King often made when times were dangerous.

AMB. ANDREW YOUNG, FORMER KING AIDE: Because he'd done it before, and we'd gone on to the next place, I really wasn't taking it seriously. It was just a great speech, but I never thought I was listening to his last speech.

KING: And so I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!

KYLES: He gave it his all and somehow, I guess, he knew that would be his last hurrah. The next evening, April 4th, King was to have dinner at the home of Reverend Kyles.

KYLES: I said, "guys, come on, let's go."

O'BRIEN: In a boarding house bathroom across the street, a rifle poked out as King walked onto the motel balcony.

KYLES: Before I could get to the stairs, the shot rang out: Ka-powww !! Blood was everywhere. The police were coming. I hollered to them to "Call an ambulance on your police radio. Doctor King has been shot." And they said, "Where did the shot come from?" So there's a famous picture pointing to the building across the street. I took a spread from one of the beds and covered him from the neck down. He never spoke a word.

O'BRIEN: Left behind in his papers that day: this sermon with a lasting thought.

KING QUOTE: The major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions - the door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed, or that lovely poem that didn't get written because someone knocked on the door.

Promo

ELIAS: For more on the life and legacy of MLK, head to the And, plenty of you responded to our question: "Who do you think embodies MLK's dream today" We've posted some of your responses at our website, Education. And to everyone who sent one in, thanks for your e-mails!

Before We Go

ELIAS: Before we go, a story about a rescue that you've got to see to believe. On a frozen Oklahoma lake Thursday, this deer got stuck on the ice, and couldn't get its footing to get back to safety. Rescuers on shore couldn't get to the deer for fear they would fall through the ice. So a news helicopter pilot stepped in. He thought he could blow the deer home. And guess what -- He did! He came in low and the downforce of his chopper blades literally blew the deer across the ice. It stayed put for just a few moments to get its bearings, then scampered back into the woods. A happy ending, indeed.

Goodbye

ELIAS: And a great ending to our week here at CNN Student News. Thanks for joining us. I'm Danielle Elias. See you on Monday.
