KEY
….. Old Town Road became the longest running number-one single in Billboard's history. Avengers:
Endgame, officially the highest grossing movie of all time. The US- champion of the world. Trump is
now ordering federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid. It's official: the
government shutdown is the longest in US history. There's no sense that there's any room for the two
sides to really find a compromise. Both are digging in. Everything that I like, that you like. The reason we
did this is because of the shutdown, we need border security, we have to have it. Despicable living
conditions, migrants left in standing room cells for a week. The United States is running concentration
camps on our southern border. Special counsel Robert has delivered his final report: if we had had
confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.

We're going to impeach him. President Trump is maintaining that there was no wrongdoing on his part in
his phone call with the president of Ukraine. A history-making headline, the third time in history a sitting
US president impeached. The 2020 presidential race is heating up. We're gonna take your AR 15, your
AK 47, we're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore. Who can beat
Donald Trump? No one is above the law and that includes the President of the US.
I have not been able to deliver Brexit. India is counting votes for the world's biggest democratic election.
Modi has swept to a crushing general election win. Tensions rising between India and Pakistan over
Kashmiar. The long-planned Turkish military operation in Northeast Syria has been launched. Chaos
in Venezuela, both the opposition leader and President Maduro are calling for supporters to protest. We
are witnessing a wave of demonstrations around the world, from the Middle East to Latin American the
Caribbean, from Europe to Africa and Asia. It is clear that there is a growing deficit of trust between
people and political establishments and rising threat to the social contract.
The young can see what's in store, what's looking round the corner. It's their future, they have every right
to fight it. A teenager from Sweden called the voice of the planet is ready to cross the Atlantic on a
mission to fight climate change. The eyes of all future generations are upon you, and if you choose to fail
us, I say we will never forgive you, we will never forgive you. This is start of a day of global climate
strikes inspired by teen activist-Greta Thunberg. You are failing us but the young people are starting to
understand your betray.
A new United Nations report warns the impacts of climate change are increasing and inevitable.
An environment disaster with global implications. The Amazon rainforest is burning at record rates.
New Deli- air pollution is putting the health of millions of people at risk there. Cyclone that has swept
across Southern Africa. Calling for a second consecutive year is battling floods in some districts.
Hurricane Dorian devastated the bahamas. We have seen what we thought was unseeable. We can get
married in Taiwan, Taiwan will be the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage.
