After being held captive for five years, U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is headed home.
-
But the story is far from over. It`s first up today on CNN STUDENT NEWS.
-
There are a lot of questions surrounding the prisoner exchange that led to Sergeant Bergdahl`s release.
-
We covered a couple of them in yesterday`s show.
-
There`s also a debate going on about how and why Bergdahl went missing in the first place.
-
The Pentagon says it doesn`t know why he left his Army base in Afghanistan in June of 2009,
-
but some soldiers in Bergdahl`s platoon say he deserted and that at least six U.S. troops were killed why looking for him.
-
One soldier, a sergeant whom Bergdahl served with criticized the government`s decision to secure Bergdahl`s release by freeing five Taliban prisoners at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo bay, Cuba.
-
Outgoing White House spokesman Jay Carney says that what matters is that Bergdahl was a prisoner in an armed conflict,
-
and that the U.S. doesn`t leave its men and women behind.
-
Bergdahl`s recovering in an American military base in Germany.
-
His father says there will be a long process of getting Bowe Bergdahl transitioned back to American life.

Yesterday, President Obama announced an executive order.
-
This is a type of law that doesn`t need Congressional approval, and this is a big one.
-
It requires power plants to reduce their carbon emissions by 30 percent by the year 2030.
-
Many scientists blame carbon emissions for damaging the environment.
-
As president and as a parent I refuse to condemn our children to a planet that`s beyond fixing.
-
Critics say this carbon reduction in the U.S. alone won`t have much impact on the environment, and there could be some economic consequences as well.
-
For one thing it could force hundreds of power plants that are fueled by coal to shut down.
-
The administration has set out to kill coal, and it`s 800,000 jobs.
-
If it succeeds in death by regulation, we`ll all be paying a lot more money for electricity if we can get it.
-
Time for the Shoutout. Which of these words means to give up a position of power? If you think you know it, shout it out.
-
Is it abdicate, advocate, abrogate or adjudicate? You`ve got three seconds, go!
-
Top one today. But when a king steps down from his throne, for example, he is abdicating it.
-
That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.
-
Almost 40 years after he was crowned, King Juan Carlos I of Spain says it`s time to abdicate, to hand over the throne to a new generation that can take on the challenges of tomorrow.
-
Spain is a parliamentary monarchy.
-
The king`s role in government is mostly ceremonial, he doesn`t set policy for Spain.
-
King Juan Carlos himself is part of the reason for that.
-
He helped transition Spain back to democracy in the late 1970s.
-
In general, he`s been a popular king, but his reputation took a hit in 2012 when he went on a luxurious hunting trip as the Spanish economy was in a deep recession.
-
So, who will be Spain`s new king? That honor will go to Crown Prince Philippe.
-
Juan Carlos says his 46-year old son has the maturity, the preparation and the sense of responsibility needed to serve as king.
-
We told you yesterday about volunteers for a planned trip to Mars, which may or may not take off in the years ahead,
-
but it was only 100 years ago that the first commercial flight got off the ground or off the water.
-
It was from St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida. Airline transportation has soared a long way since most planes had two sets of wings.
-
It all started with the 23 minute flight in a flying boat across Tampa Bay, Florida in 1914.
-
It was humble beginnings for an industry which has transformed a world.
-
Then the mayor of St. Petersburg paid $400 worth $9000 in today`s money for the privilege of becoming the world`s first paying passenger.
-
Scheduled commercial flights were born.

Think about it: 8 million of us each day get on a plane and take to the skies.
-
Some $3 billion journeys we are taking last year.
-
With those trips went the hopes and dreams of deals to be done, families to be reunited, ambitions to be realized.
-
The entrepreneurial spirit of risk taking spawn by the earlier pioneers continued as more and more airlines took to the skies.
-
Pan American world airways blaze the trail across the Atlantic with jet aircraft and trumpeting service.
-
A new concept in air transportation, the travail has been taken out of travel.
-
A smooth ride for passengers it might have been, but for the airline the concept of risk and reward eventually went into reverse.
-
Pan Am couldn`t survive.
-
The industry has suffered as much turbulence in the pocket as it has in the air.
-
American Airlines is another example of risk and reward.
-
Doing what it does best wasn`t enough to keep American from bankruptcy.
-
And it was the last major U.S. area to merge with U.S. Airways.
-
Aviation has always been at the heart of big dreams.
-
Today`s mechanical birds are a century away from that air boat which crossed Tampa Bay,
-
but does one thing that everyone still shares: they balance the risk and the rewards.

To make him feel ordinary.
-

-
The people hiding behind this banner lured Juwaan to the game for a remarkable surprise - it reads I know I`m not as cool as RGIII, but will you go to the prom with me?
-
Who is that right there?
-
And out popped the Washington Redskins` start quarterback RGIII.
-
Juwaan`s favorite player who came to help classmate Morgan Assel ask her friend the big question:
-
Juwaan, would you be my prom date?
-
Juwaan who can`t say yes or no, of course, said yes. And then was thrilled.
-
Say cheese. To take selfie after selfie with one of his heroes.
-
And you can tell he`s (INAUDIBLE). We make time in our schedules for the stuff like this because it`s so worth it.
-
I`m just so excited, I`m really grateful that RGIII came out to Juwaan.
-
Sorry. It just means a lot that people are willing to do this for him because he`s such a special person.
