MySQL does not support MERGE, so you'll have to do it in two queries:

INSERT
INTO    news_n (id, data)
SELECT  id, data
FROM    news
WHERE   id > 21
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
SET     data = news.data

DELETE
FROM    news_n
WHERE   id NOT IN
        (
        SELECT  id
        FROM    news
        WHERE   id > 21
        )

, provided you have PRIMARY KEY (id) in both tables.
