Good afternoon to you from the cnn Center in Atlanta. I'm Cory Kessler. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

The death toll continues to climb in Iraq despite the security crackdown. Today 45 unidentified bodies were found in Baghdad. So far in May alone, 631 bodies of the victims of sectarian violence have been found.

And today the U.S. military announced two soldiers have died on this Memorial Day weekend. Dozens of Iraqis who were kidnapped in Diyala Province are breathing a huge sigh of relief. The Pentagon says U.S. forces have freed 41 Iraqis who were held by al-Qaeda for up to four months. Officials say many of the captives show signs of torture.

Fighting broke out in Moscow as protestors clashed with gay rights demonstrators. A small group of demonstrators was attempting to present a petition to the city's mayor, asking him to lift the ban on a gay rights parade. That's when the group was attacked. Police moved in and quickly detained about 20 people.

A Chicago police officer has been arrested for allegedly beating a 15-year-old while off duty. Officer Robert Gallegos is a ten-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department. He's been charged with a felony charge of aggravated battery and has been relieved of his police duties. A judge set bond at 100,000 dollars toady. A police statement says that the high school student he allegedly attacked, suffered a broken jaw and other injures. Police say the officer's son was involved in an argument with the student earlier. This is the latest in the series of alleged beatings by off-duty Chicago police.

In Texas, the death toll from this week's flooding is now believed to be six. The latest victim is a man who is still missing after his SUV was swept away by flood waters.
