Hope you're having a great day. I'm Nicole Lapin at the CNN Center in Atlanta. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
And this is coming at the same time as General Motors is really hoping that a new round of cuts will help keep the struggling automaker in business. Among the moves announced this morning, GM is eliminating 20% of its salaried positions and will also eliminate health insurance for salaried retirees older than 65. The company is also selling off four to seven billion dollars in assets. GM has not made a profit since 2005.
A marine is expected in court this afternoon on charges that he may have murdered his old wife. Marine Corporal John Wimunc is accused of setting fire to their apartment, then killing his wife Army Lieutenant Holley Wimunc. A second Marine is also due in court on charges of helping with this plot. Holley Wimunc hasn't been seen since Thursday's fire. A charred body was found yesterday.
Firefighters meanwhile getting some help from the weather as they try to control a wildfire, look at this, that is still raging near Big Sur, California. Winds and temperatures are both a little lower. The fire crews are preparing to start a blaze called "the controlled burn" that could help them contain the big one.
And those are the headlines at this hour. For more on those stories and other news of the day, CNN is always your source online, on TV or on your cellphone. Take care. | |||||||
