Happy Monday to you.

I'm Carl Azuz.

And this is CNN STUDENT NEWS:

In a few minutes, we're going to explore a court case involving President Obama's health care reform law.

But we begin today in South Korea. President Obama and officials from more than 50 countries are there right now for a meeting about nuclear security. They're going to talk about things like nuclear terrorism and how to keep nuclear material from around the world safe.

But before the meeting started, there was some tension regarding North Korea. That nation says it's planning to launch a satellite on board a rocket next month. That kind of launch would violate a deal that North Korea made with the U.S. recently, as well as a United Nations Security Council resolution.

President Obama warned North Korea that a missile launch will not be rewarded. On Sunday, the president also made a visit to Korea's demilitarized zone, the DMZ. This is the region that splits North and South Korea. The president was there to meet with some of the 28,000 U.S. troops that are stationed in Korea. He also kept up a tradition carried out by previous U.S. presidents.

Paula Hancocks has more on that.

Former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, described it as "the scariest place on earth" when he visited in 1993.

Ironically called the demilitarized zone, the border between North and South Korea is actually the most heavily fortified border in the world. Two-and-a-half miles or four kilometers wide, much of the DMZ is a no man's land buffered by watch towers and land mines.

The Joint Security Area is where the 1953 armistice was signed between the North and the South. It's where negotiations take place today. And it's the one place U.S. Soldiers can see their North Korean counterparts up close.

It's a tourist site for visitors to South Korea, and, of course, for American presidents. Ronald Reagan, the last American leader of the cold war, visited the final frontier of the cold war in 1983.

His assessment...
It looks like a Hollywood back lot.

Previous U.S. President, George W. Bush, visited the DMZ in February 2002, just weeks after he branded North Korea as part of his so-called "axis of evil," along with Iran and Iraq.

So why do presidents feel the need to visit one of the most tense borders in the world?

There is a signal that's sent to North Korea regarding U.S. Resolve and the strength of the alliance. There's a signal sent to South Koreans that the U.S. Is reassuring them and that it will fulfill their alliance commitments.

And just in case you thought the VIPs were just on the South Korean side, the new North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un,visited the DMZ earlier this month, standing just meters from South Korean territory and ordering his troops to be on their highest alert.

Next up today, the race for the Republican nomination. There are no primaries or caucuses scheduled for this week.

The next ones aren't until April 3, but the candidates did face-off over the weekend in Louisiana.

Former Senator Rick Santorum was the winner there. He got around half the votes in the primary and picked up at least half of the delegates that were at stake, too.

For the candidates, that's what these primaries and caucuses are all about -- winning delegates. This year, it's going to take 1,144 delegates to win the Republican Party's nomination. Former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney has the most delegates and more than twice as many as Senator Santorum.

We reported on the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida last week. The 17 -year-old was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain. That happened in February and authorities say Trayvon Martin was unarmed.

George Zimmerman told police he acted in self-defense and you can go to the video archives on our home page and look at last Thursday's transcript for more details on this story.

It has led to protests and rallies across the country, like this one you see from Virginia. One person who was at a rally in the state told CNN that part of the reason he thinks there are so many protests is because people think this shooting was senseless.

In other states, like you see here in New Jersey, people took part in marches. You might notice a lot of them wearing hoodies. That's what Martin was wearing on the night when he was shot.[qh]周一快乐
我是卡尔•阿祖兹。
这里是CNN学生新闻:
几分钟内,我们要研究一起涉及奥巴马总统的医疗改革法案的案件。
但是我们今天从韩国开始。奥巴马总统和超过50个国家的官员现在正在召开针对核安全的会议。他们正在谈论的是核恐怖主义以及如何使来自世界各地核原料的安全。
但在会议开始之前, 有关北韩有一些紧张情绪。那个国家称它计划在下个月发射一枚人造卫星火箭。这样的发射将违反朝鲜与美国最近的协议,以及联合国安理会的决议。
奥巴马总统警告朝鲜导弹不应发射。在周日,总统也访问了朝鲜非军事区。这是将北韩和韩国分开的地区。总统在那里会见了驻扎在韩国的28000名美军。他还按照前美国总统的传统进行。
波拉•汉克斯有更多的相关报道。
美国前总统克林顿在1993年访问时称其为“地球上最可怕的地方”。具有讽刺意味的是称作非军事区,南北韩边界实际上是在世界上最戒备森严的边界。两英里半宽或4公里,大部分非军事区都是无人之地，均有瞭望塔和地雷负责警戒。
联合安全领域是在1953年南方和北方之间签署停战协议。这就是今天谈判发生的地方。而那是一个美军士兵可以近距离看见朝鲜的地方。
这对于韩国游客们是一个旅游景点,当然,对于美国总统罗纳德•里根, 过去冷战时期的最后一位美国总统而言，在1983年冷战参观了最后的边界。
他的评语…
它看上去更像是好莱坞回来了。
前美国总统乔治•W•布什在2002年2月访问此地,几周后他随着伊朗和伊拉克把朝鲜称为他所谓的“邪恶轴心”。
那么为什么总统们感到需要访问世界上一个最紧张的边界?
这是发送到朝鲜美国解决和力量的联盟的一种信号，也是有一种发送到韩国美国履行联盟承诺的信号。
而且,以防你以为重要人物只是在韩国方面,新北韩领导人在本月早些时候出访此地,他站在只离韩国领土几米远的地方指挥他的军队保持最高戒备状态。
今天接下来的部分是竞选共和党的提名。这个星期没有党内初选或党团会议。接下来是直到4月3日,但在周末候选人将出现在路易斯安那州。
前参议员里克•桑托姆是那里的获胜者。他得到了大约一半的选票,获取了至少一半代表的。
对于候选人来说,那就是这些初选和党内预选的都是关于——赢得代表。今年需要1144名代表赢得共和党党内提名。前麻萨诸塞州州长米特•罗姆尼的代表数最多，而且已经是参议员里克•桑托姆的两倍以上。
我们报道了上星期特拉维•马丁在佛罗里达的死亡。这名17岁青年被乔治•泽曼枪杀。那发生在2月,当局称特拉维•马丁手无寸铁。
乔治•泽曼告诉警方他的行动是出于自卫,你可以去视频展馆中寻找，或者看看我们的首页上星期四的文本了解这一事件更多的细节。
它导致了全国各地的抗议和示威,就像你所看到的,来自弗吉尼亚州。一个人是在一次这个州的集会上告诉CNN部分原因是他认为有很多抗议是因为人们认为这个枪击事件是无意义的。
在其他州,比如你在这里见到的在新泽西州,人们参加了游行。你可能注意到,他们中很多人都穿着连帽上衣。这就是马丁在那个晚上被枪杀时候的穿着。
