THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. JUDY FORTIN, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We welcome you to October's first edition of CNN Student News! From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Judy Fortin. Is the Asian resort island of Bali the latest target of international terrorism after restaurant attacks claim dozens of lives? Is New Orleans starting to return to more normal life, more than a month after Hurricane Katrina? The answer, you'll find, depends on where you look. And is this just a carnival of color over New Mexico or is there something in it for some students on the ground? First Up: Bali Blasts FORTIN: The capital of Indonesia is on alert after weekend bombings left more than two dozen people dead and more than 100 people wounded. Authorities say three suicide bombers targeted restaurants on the island of Bali. The resort island is still recovering from nightclub bombings three years ago when more than 200 people died. Stan Grant brings us more on the story, which has some some graphic images. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) STAN GRANT, CNN REPORTER: Police believe suicide bombers walked into the three separate restaurants on Saturday night and detonated their explosives. According to the police chief, the person in this video wearing the backpack is suspected of being one of the restaurant bombers. And an investigation of the bomb site only boosted their belief that this is an act of terrorism. SUSILO BAMBANG YUDHOYONO, INDONESIAN PRESIDENT: So far our investigations could say that this attack was done by terrorists, suicide bombers in both Jimbran beach and Kuta Square. GRANT: Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on hand to see the damage. To visit the hospital tending the wounded. In Australia Prime Minister John Howard expressed his solidarity with the Indonesian people. JOHN HOWARD, AUSTRALIA PRIME MINISTER: On behalf of the Australian people how sad we are that the pursuit of a simple overseas holiday has once again been brutally interrupted by the violent, mindless act of terrorism. GRANT: Australians made up a large number of the dead in the Bali nightclub bombings three years ago. They are among the fatalities once again. At least 19 people were killed, the toll of wounded topping 100. Investigators and terrorism experts see the finger prints once again of Jemaah Islamiyah the south east Asian terrorist group with links to Al Qaeda. The attacks were believed to be aimed at disrupting Bali as a popular tourist destination, damaging the mainly Hindu island's economy, that has struggled to recover since the last bombing. Special flights are ferrying some tourists out of Bali. Yet others refuse to be intimidated. TOURISTS: We're okay we are still on holiday. You can't stop living. GRANT: The Balinese people have placed wreaths and erected shrines to the dead and wounded. Bali has always prided itself on its openness, it's friendliness. That innocence was destroyed three years ago...these latest bombings only reinforce that life here will never really be the same again. Stan Grant, CNN, Bali, Indonesia. (END VIDEO CLIP) Boating Accident FORTIN: In upstate New York a tragedy of a very different kind. A tour boat carrying senior citizens capsized on Lake George. Authorities say at least 21 people died when the Ethan Allen overturned Sunday. About two dozen others were rescued. A witness said a passenger told her a larger boat had pulled alongside the tour boat and swamped it. Word to the Wise CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS REPORTER: A Word to the Wise... racketeering (noun) - illegally using one's powers to gain money or advantage by threat or force source:www.dictionary.com Supreme Court Preview FORTIN: The Supreme Court opens a new term today with a new chief justice. And John Roberts has to hit the ground running, with oral arguments starting just 45 minutes after he's ceremonially sworn in. He was officially sworn in by President bush last week. Gary Nurenberg gives us a preview of some cases that Roberts and the eight associate justices face. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GARY NURENBERG, CNN REPORTER: President Bush joined the new chief justice and fellow members of the court Sunday for the yearly Red Mass, named for the historic color of judicial robes and performed just before a new term of the high court begins. EDWARD LAZARUS, LEGAL ANALYST: He's going to walk into a real maelstrom on the Court. FROM GONZALES V. OREGON: I fight for myself and for other in my predicament to have that option. NURENBERG: Roberts jumps into one of the court's most controversial cases on Wednesday: Assisted suicide and whether the federal government can stop the state of Oregon from allowing doctors to prescribe medicine so patients can kill themselves. This is one of those hot button issues that goes to the feelings of the Republican base: the issue of physician assisted suicide is tied into what President Bush frequently calls the culture of life. As is abortion: The court will decide whether racketeering laws can be used against those who organize demonstrations outside clinics, and could set a new standard for review of abortion cases when it decides whether a New Hampshire law requiring parental notification is too strict LAZARUS: It's one of those cases that could actually turn on John Roberts' vote. NURENBERG: The court will decide whether colleges can ban military recruiters from campus because of the military's policy of "don't ask don't tell" for homosexuals, whether a church can use a hallucinogenic tea as a sacrament, and will hear criminal cases about the rights of defendants in death penalty cases, and limits on police procedures. LAZARUS: This is a situation where from the very moment the justices start back up in October they're going to be very divided. It's going to be a lot of friction inside the building. NURENBERG: Critics of Roberts' performance in his confirmation hearings complained they ended with little sense of his judicial philosophy and how he would rule on controversial cases. With the cases on this year's docket, they'll have some answers by the time the Court concludes its term next summer. Gary Nurenberg, Washington.

Back to New Orleans FORTIN: Hymns and bells at New Orleans' Saint Louis Cathedral, celebrating its first mass since Hurricane Katrina roared through more than a month ago. It's a symbolic step toward normalcy in the city. In another step, Mayor Ray Nagin, who unveiled the "Bring Back New Orleans Commission" - a group of civic leaders who'll oversee redevelopment. JJ Ramberg tours us through three neighborhoods in differing states of damage. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JJ RAMBERG, CNN REPORTER: This is Bourbon Street, in the middle of the French quarter, it was really spared the worst of Katrina, and as you can hear, there are already some signs of life here. Some restaurants are open, some stores are open and people have already started moving back here. If you look at this apartment here, there's pretty much no damage at all. The residents who live here say it's a little bit messy because they had a bunch of friends over before the hurricane, but besides that, it's like nothing ever happened. The neighborhood we're in now is called Lakeview and it's supposed to be open next week. If you look here, this is where the water line was, it's all dirty from underneath here, which means this entire room, this entire house was filled with water up to here, everything covered, must look around this room, this used to be a breakfast room. And when you come here into the kitchen, the smell gets nearly unbearable when you get in here because this refrigerator's been sitting with rotting food for a month now, completely destroyed, there's nothing that's salvageable in the bottom floor of this house here, pretty much nothing. Finally, this is the lower Ninth Ward. I'm standing on the stairs of what used to be someone's house. The people from this neighborhood don't have much, if anything to come home to. So far, the mayor has not set a date to open up this neighborhood. JJ Ramberg, reporting from New Orleans. (END VIDEO CLIP) Before We Go FORTIN: Before we go... A hot-air festival, designed to send children's imaginations soaring. The "Albuquerque Aloft" event gives elementary school students a chance to inflate their knowledge about hot-air balloons. Some three dozen aircraft rose to the occasion Friday, dotting New Mexico's sky with bubbles of color. The school event is an annual outreach project of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, to help kids get in on the fun. Goodbye FORTIN: And that deflates all our time for the day. But Headline News has more stories sailing your way, just after the break.
