Hi Damian

First, your title does not make it easy to see whether I am able to help you or not. "Any idea?" made me immediately want to respond with "no". You will get much more help if you made your title descriptive of your problem (in a summarized kind of way), like "Howto put recent news resume in a block?".

I won't go into gory detail of the answer, but it lies in using the "views" module. The help on this module is great and now that you know what it is called you can search for help more easily. Basically, using the menu once the module is installed, you create a new view, of type block (as opposed to page) and you define what kind of content goes into it, which fields (teaser I imagine), and how it must be filtered. Voila!
