The Weekly Newsquiz tests students' knowledge of events in the news

February 12, 2016

What’s a bull market, what’s a bear market, and what kind do some analysts say the U.S. may be headed for? We’re exploring these concepts today. We’re also taking you inside Syria’s largest city, where some areas are filled with markets and shoppers and others are only rubble. Reports on Presidents Day, Valentine’s Day, and lightning as viewed from space prove that Fridays are awesome.

On this page you will find today’s show Transcript and a place for you to request to be on the CNN Student News Roll Call.
