  [00:11.26]The unexpected passing of a U.S. Supreme Court justice leads off our show.

  [00:15.48]This is CNN STUDENT NEWS and I'm Carl Azuz.

  [00:17.07]Antonin Scalia had been characterized as the leading conservative voice on the high court.

  [00:23.60]He'd served since 1986, after being appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

  [00:28.34]Of course, the Senate had to confirm him first and it did so unanimously by a vote of 98-0.

  [00:34.41]Scalia was still serving on the Supreme Court at the time of his sudden death.

  [00:38.92]He recently travelled to Texas for a hunting trip, a government official

  [00:43.28]says he told friends he wasn't feeling well before going to bed Friday night and that he died in his sleep.

  [00:48.58]A county judge from Texas says Justice Scalia had healthy issues and that he died of natural causes.

  [00:54.71]There were no signs of foul play, according to law enforcement officials at the ranch where he was staying.

  [01:01.35]Scalia believed that judges should follow the exact words of the U.S. Constitution

  [01:04.23]and not apply a modern interpretation to the governing document.

  [01:08.28]He also had great admiration for the U.S. founding fathers who crafted it.

  [01:12.32]I truly believe that there are times in history

  [01:17.09]when a genius bursts forth at some part of the globe, you know, like 2000 B.C. in Athens,

  [01:26.58]or quintessential Florence for art.

  [01:29.67]And I think one of those places was 18th century America for political science.

  [01:34.95](END VIDSEO CLIP)

  [01:35.39]AZUZ: There's a political battle forming Scalia's replacement.

  [01:38.80]There is a political process by which that person will have to be nominated.

  [01:41.99]So, we're going to bring you more on this story throughout the week.

  [01:44.91]Pope Francis is on his first trip to Mexico since he became the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

  [01:51.34]More than 82 percent of Mexicans are estimated to be Catholic

  [01:55.68]and the pope has created huge audiences since he arrived in the North American country.

  [02:00.43]He's staying each night in the capital, Mexico City, but from there, he's flying all over.

  [02:05.38]Yesterday, he visited the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, near the border with Guatemala.

  [02:10.45]Pope Francis spoke out against what he called the contamination and theft of Native American land.

  [02:15.89]Chiapas is the poorest state in Mexico, but not the only impoverished area he visited.

  [02:21.82]Pope Francis helicoptered into one of the most dangerous places in Mexico on his second full day,

  [02:28.11]Ecatepec, a sprawling suburb just outside of Mexico City, notorious for its poverty and for its violence.

  [02:35.53]In fact, the pontiff's decision to visit there ruffled more than a few official feathers.

  [02:40.38]It was pure joy however for the hundreds of thousands

  [02:44.04]who turned out to try and just catch a glimpse of the pontiff as he drove by in his way to mass.

  [02:50.39]The mass itself was surprisingly critical.

  [02:53.21]Pope Francis lashed out at what he called the temptations of wealth, power and fame.

  [02:59.72]During the angelus, he was even more direct.

  [03:03.01]He told Mexicans they would need to build

  [03:04.93]a community that provides opportunity rather than a country that destroys young people.

  [03:10.66]Back in Mexico City, Pope Francis visited a children's hospital.

  [03:14.72]Many of the patients, young victims of cancer.

  [03:18.05]And there were some touching moments, for example,

  [03:21.12]when he gave a rosary to one young boy and asked him to pray for him.

  [03:24.26]To another he administered his medicine, a young girl sang "Ave Maria."

  [03:28.84](END VIDEOTAPE)

  [03:29.25]AZUZ: Next today, international officials aren't sure who's responsible for apparent airstrikes

  [03:46.17]that hit two hospitals and a school building in northern Syria yesterday.

  [03:50.81]At least 22 people were killed, the Syrian government and Russia had separately been blamed for the strikes,

  [03:58.24]but neither immediately responded to accusations.

  [03:59.92]Battles had been intense in parts of Syria, even though a cessation of hostilities,

  [04:05.56]an international agreement to curb the fighting, was reached last week at a conference in Germany.

  [04:11.88]There are doubts if it will hold.

  [04:13.41](BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

  [04:14.00]SUBTITLE: Will the Syria ceasefire work?

  [04:17.76] The ceasefire was agreed by the International Syria Support Group.

  [04:20.95]It's a 17-member body and it is designated by the U.N.,

  [04:24.29]by a U.N. resolution, as the key act, a major act in brokering a Syria peace deal.

  [04:29.90]It encompasses the U.S., the U.K., the European powers,

  [04:33.21]some of the regional actors that have a stake in this, Russia.

  [04:36.48]But what it doesn't have is any of the key actors on the ground.

  [04:40.28]There is no representation of President Bashar al-Assad's government and there is,

  [04:44.74]of course, no representation from ISIS.

  [04:46.57]And that is really where this is going to stand or fall is how the actors on the ground behave in the coming days,

  [04:53.33]how the monitoring will be carried out, and what the penalties if the ceasefire is broken.

  [04:59.03]The other big issue is going to be that there is no agreement on the cessation of Russian airstrikes.

  [05:05.68]At the heart of all this though, of course, is the delivery of aid and the U.N.

  [05:09.39]has said that it hopes to be delivering aid to the civilian population

  [05:13.80]and that's going to be unbelievably welcomed on the ground.

  [05:19.16](END VIDEOTAPE)

  [05:19.80]AZUZ: Out of more than 1,400 requests on Friday's transcript,

  [05:26.49]here are three of the schools who want to be on our "Roll Call".

  [05:29.02]We'll start in Racine, Wisconsin.

  [05:31.17]The Walnuts are watching CNN STUDENT NEWS.

  [05:33.66]They're at Walden III Middle High School.

  [05:36.49]Farson is located in western Wyoming.

  [05:38.74]The Pronghorns are the mascot of Farson-Eden School.

  [05:42.98]And we're wrapping our roll in the capital of Vietnam.

  [05:46.17]That's Hanoi.

  [05:47.02]And that's the home of the United Nations International School.

  [05:52.74]Two words we hear so often when it comes to how we look: diet and exercise.

  [05:55.73]And it turns out that how we feel about ourselves may also be tied to working out.

  [06:01.66]The doctor is here to look at the cerebral connection between getting fit and feeling good.
