Very good Sunday morning to you. I'm Veronica De La Cruz at the cnn center in Atlanta. Let's get your headlines right NOW IN THE NEWS.

British police have made a 5th arrest in connection with the terror incidents in London and Glasgow. Police believe the two incidents are linked, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says the terrorists are associated, at least in general terms, with Al-Qaeda. Two people were arrested at the Glasgow Airport. The three others were arrested in England.

Responding to the incidents in Britain, the Transportation Security Administration has stepped up security at US airports. Officials say it's merely a precaution and there are no indications of any specific security threats in the United States.

In the meantime, President Bush and Russia's Vladimir Putin are meeting today at the Bush family home in Kennebunkport, Maine. President Bush is trying to smooth strained relationships with the Russian president. Moscow reacted strongly to a US plan to place a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe. It is the first time the president has hosted a foreign leader in the Bush's vacation home. Aides for both sides are playing down expectations, calling this an informal meeting of friends. Russia is also at odds with the US over independence for Kosovo.

A specialized team of about 60 firefighters is expected to take on a deadly wildfire in eastern Utah today. The fire broke out Friday and has burned at least 23 square miles, including part of Ashley National Forest. It's still unclear how it started. Officials say it grew quickly thanks to strong winds and dry weather. Three people were killed when the blaze trapped them while they worked in a hay field Friday. An 11-year-old boy escaped but the victims included his father and his grandfather.

Alright, it may look like deja vu and it is indeed a Kodak moment. It's also a very dusty sign of progress for the company with that famous name. It is the second of two buildings imploded this weekend as Kodak transitions into a digital photography operation. Building 23 at Kodak came tumbling down this morning in Rochester, New York. And that is Kodak Park just in case you are wondering.

And those are your headlines at this hour. You can always stay with cnn for more on any of these stories as well as other news of the day. Thanks for watching.
