NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
The commission is launching its probe following parents' complaints and a report by the human rights commission in the western state of Michoacan.
Mexico's Human Rights Commission is investigating an elementary school for allegedly forcing sixth-graders to strip down after $13 disappeared.
The national commission said in a statement Sunday that the principal and teachers of a public school in the city of La Piedad ordered the children to take off their clothes on Sept. 23 when they were searching for money that had gone missing in the classroom.
The commission sent staff to interview the students and other local authorities.
Phone calls to the elementary school seeking comment Sunday went unanswered.
YAOUNDE, CAMEROON
An official says police have arrested 126 protesters seeking independence for English-speaking Cameroon.
The police official says they were arrested Saturday and Sunday for defying public order. They follow the arrests of 50 activists from the Southern Cameroons National Council who demonstrated Saturday. The official asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists.
Saturday was the 50th anniversary of British Cameroun's merger with the former French Cameroun.
The protest follows other recent unrest as Oct. 9 elections approach.
On Thursday, gunmen carrying signs opposing President Paul Biya blockaded a bridge and shot at police in the city of Douala.
MANILA. PHILIPPINES
Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore in northeastern Isabela province Saturday, then barreled across the main island of Luzon's mountainous north and agricultural plains, which were still sodden from fierce rain and winds unleashed by a howler just days earlier. Nalgae left at least three people dead Saturday. Typhoon Nesat killed 56 others and left 28 missing in the same region before blowing out Friday.
Rescuers scrambled Sunday to deliver food and water to hundreds of villagers stuck on rooftops for days because of flooding in the northern Philippines, where back-to-back typhoons have left at least 59 people dead.
China's National Meteorological Center urged people in areas expected to be lashed by rainstorms in the next three days.
Roman Catholics in Poland gathered Sunday for a special Mass celebrating what they see as a miracle: the appearance on a communion wafer of a dark spot that they are convinced is part of the heart of Jesus.
WARSAW. POLAND
The communion wafer in question developed a brown spot in 2008 after falling on the floor during a Mass in the eastern Polish town of Sokolka. Two medical doctors determined that the spot was heart muscle tissue, church officials have said.
Bialystok Archbishop Edward Ozorowski said during the Mass that in history, the "substance of Christ's body or blood has become available to the human senses, and this also happened in Sokolka."
"For God, nothing is impossible," Ozorowski said.

The Federal Health Care Law: Is It Constitutional? WITH CATHERINE STETSON & GREGORY KATSAS
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes a requirement that all persons have health insurance coverage starting in 2014. Those who do not will have to pay a 'penalty' to the government. One federal court of appeals recently ruled that this requirement exceeds the powers of Congress. Another federal court of appeals ruled that it is essential to make the system work and is within the power of Congress to regulate matters affecting interstate commerce. Ultimately, this issue will have to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. Experts on both sides will debate this timely and heated topic.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Commander in chief must support gay troops
WASHINGTON — In a sharp rebuke of his Republican rivals, President Barack Obama said anyone who wants to be commander in chief must support the entire U.S. military, including gay service members.
"You want to be commander in chief? Start with standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform," Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Council, the nation's largest gay rights organization.
A combative Obama criticized GOP presidential candidates for staying silent when the crowd at a recent debate booed a gay soldier who asked a question of the contenders via videotape.

REPUBLICAN RACE
The budget-cutting Christie is the latest heartthrob of Republicans who have been looking for a more exciting candidate than Romney. The former Massachusetts governor ran in 2008 and has long been considered the one to beat in the GOP.
Candidate Christie could upend GOP race
MANCHESTER, N.H. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's entry into the 2012 presidential race could dramatically reshape what has become a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. But Christie, who's under pressure from party elders to run, hasn't faced national scrutiny — and he could join other early favorites who burned out fast.
