CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Fridays are awesome. This is CNN STUDENT NEWS. Ten minutes of current events with no commercials. I`m Carl Azuz. Today`s show begins in Europe. A leader of the free world and a leader of a worldwide religion met for the first time yesterday. Relations between President Obama and Pope Francis have been strained over disagreements concerning issues like abortion and certain aspects of Obamacare. So, the two heads of state focused mainly on the things they do agree on like helping the poor and fighting human slavery. They met in private for an hour after exchanging gifts. The president gave the pope seeds to plant, and a custom-made timber box. The pope gave the president two medallions symbolizing peace between hemispheres and a copy of the Pope`s book "The Joy of the Gospel."

In the historic neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, a fire broke out Wednesday in a four story building? A fire chief said in his thirty years of service, he`d never seen a blaze travel so fast, escalate so quickly and cause so much damage in so little time. This was a nine alarm fire, a measure of the number of firefighters who got involved. More than 150 of them arrived to help, and two of them died after rushing into the burning building and saving several people who`d been trapped on the upper floors.

New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady saw the fire and discussed it and the heroes who fought it on the radio.

TOM BRADY: I feel so badly for the family of the two firefighters that were lost and, obviously all the men that were associated with fighting that fire yesterday, losing, you know, one of their close friends. So. I mean we as athletes think - that were here, that when you witnessed firsthand, you know, what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are in this world.

It`s been a frustrated and incredibly difficult search. Almost three weeks after a Malaysia Airlines passenger plane vanished with 239 people aboard. Nothing has been recovered. Satellites` sightings of suspected debris are being reported daily now, focused on the southern Indian Ocean, but search planes have yet to pinpoint anything so that ships can recover it.

TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The fleet searching the southern sector to find this missing airplane, is really quite impressive. There are 11 aircraft, five ships from these various countries out here. They are scouring the water, but all you have to do is look at the map to realize why this remains a difficult job. Look at the distance from Perth where they are flying out - the planes, and where these objects were spotted in the latest satellite images. That`s 1600 miles. That means the tremendous amount of energy and times spent (ph) just getting back and forth every single day.

Here`s another way to look at it. If you consider the overall southern search area, of some 621,000 square miles, by the time they handle all this travel, and get into position and look around for a while. Basically, what they can search is about five percent of the zone every day. That means, in perfect weather, with perfect equipment, everything going right and we take them 20 days to get through this sector.

Even if you narrow that down, even if you say we are not doing the big sector, we are just doing the small area up here, which is described as being about the size of Denver. So, 12.5 miles by 12.5 miles. That`s what the math works out to here.

Imagine taking off from Washington, D.C. in the morning with a search crew, and you have to fly all the way across the country, out here across the Great Plains to Colorado and then when you land in Colorado, you have to move on up to Denver, and then in Denver you have to fly over the city and you have two or three hours to try to spot a particular mailbox or trashcan or car And if you do not spot it, you have to turn around and fly all the way back to Washington D.C. to get more fuel and a little sleep and come back and do it again the next day. That`s why this remains such a daunting task.
