This is Newsy Now and here are the headlines you need to know.
In U.S. news -- President Barack Obama spoke to the nation Monday night following the stalemate between partisan politics and the fate of America’s debt. Fox News has one take on the President’s prime-time address.
ANCHOR: “He outlined the deadlock in Congress and what's at stake. He did it in a way as if it was remedial as if we've been asleep or in hibernation...”
OBAMA: “It's a dangerous game that we've never played before, and we can't afford to play it now. Not when the jobs and livelihoods of so many families are at stake. We can't allow the American people to become collateral damage to Washington's political warfare.”
Still in the U.S. -- California Governor Jerry Brown signed the Dream Act into reality. CNN explains what that means for state-funded, public universities.
“Governor Jerry Brown signs the measure, signed it, provides undocumented immigrant students the ability to also qualify for the cheaper tuition rates that in state schools provide. Immigrants who enroll in the program will have to file an affidavit stating they've applied for legal immigration status.”
In world news -- the latest in Oslo, Norway. ABC News reports mass-murder suspect Anders Breivik has confessed to the killings. Breivik’s lawyer claimed his client is clearly “insane.”
“Authorities say they may now charge Anders Breivik with crimes against humanity which would carry a maximum 30-year sentence. This morning he said Breivik appears to be insane. He confessed to Friday's Oslo bombing that left 76 people dead.”
Controversial talk show host Glenn Beck has turned a critical eye to the victims of that mass shooting. The UK’s Daily Mail quotes Beck as saying the young victims in the Oslo shooting were comparable to “Hitler Youth” and describes the government-led retreat the victims participated in as “disturbing.”
To Somalia -- where famine continues to grip the East African country. Al Jazeera reports the lack of aide and increased rebellion in the country pushes back relief efforts.
“The people here no longer wait for the International community to help. To them, it seems the world is content with organizing conferences and issuing statements, but not doing enough. The on going conflict in Somalia doesn’t help either. Several aide workers have reportedly been killed despite militants insisting no relief workers would be hurt.”
In the tech world -- China is cracking down on fake Apple products. But MSNBC explains in a place known for its knock-offs -- even the Apple store seem too good to be true.
REPORTER: “An entire knock-off of an apple store.”
MAN: “If people see a way of making money, they are getting in the middle of it and doing it.”
WOMAN: “I think some of the media has distorted the facts.”
REPORTER: “But the fact remains, this isn't a real apple shop. Despite the convincing details, from the bright interiors to the employees' blue t-shirts.”
