Not only is it ok, its encouraged. All you have to do, is for anything that you add which is based on something from wikinews, at the end of the article, add a line like:
This article is based on the Wikinews article "<article title at wikinews>" which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license
And have the word Wikinews linked to http://en.wikinews.org , have "<article title at wikinews>" linked to the specific article on wikinews, and Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license linked to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
Please also note that well the text of the article is licensed under the cc-by 2.5, images typically are not. Before copying an image, you should check its copyright status (click on the image in question). Typically you can copy the images as well, but sometimes they require different attributions.
Cheers, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
