This week has certainly been a stretch! A picture of the sea-crossing bridge, taken from CNN.com  Here are five stories to keep you in the loop: 1. In the middle of the week, pipe bombs were sent to CNN,  resulting in the evacuation of the Time Warner Center building. Pipe bombs were also sent to the Obamas, the Clintons, and philanthropist, George Soros. Later on, bombs were also sent to Robert De Niro and Joe Biden. 2. China opened the world's longest sea-crossing bridge,  which connects Hong Kong to the mainland. The bridge cuts travel time across the delta from several hours to 30 minutes. The bridge cost $20 billion, and took around 10 years to build. 3. The Queen, along with other members of the British royal family,  hosted a state dinner  for King William-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands during their visit of the UK. Since it was a formal event, the royal women were seen wearing fancy gowns and tiaras. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were present

It was another eventful week of news! I thought that we were going to see less big news with the royal family, but boy did we get a surprise! Harry and Meghan kickstarted their tour of Australia, but they also announced they are kickstarting their family! The palace has confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex is pregnant, and the baby will be born in spring of 2019. To add on to the royal baby news, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister gave birth to a baby boy, making Kate and William an aunt and uncle for the first time. Hopefully we will hear about the baby's name soon. Princess Eugenie shared this photo on her Instagram account of her, Jack, and their bridal party in a more relaxed moment.

The President has made threats to Mexico that he will send military down to the border and shut it down, so I don't know if we should be concerned about that or not. Also, Canada just legali

He was approved to be a Supreme Court Justice. This decision is historic, considering Kavanaugh will now be on the Supreme Court for years to come, which will certainly impact court cases. There was also a lot of craziness going on throughout the week. Hurricane Michael became the next big hurricane to hit the U.S., and boy was he treacherous! The hurricane grew from a Tropical Storm to a Category 4 hurricane in almost two day. The Florida Panhandle got hit hard, with the storm weakening after making landfall. Also this week, an arrest has been made in a deadly limo crash that took the lives of 20 people, becoming one of the deadliest transportation accidents in the U.S. since

This week has mainly been a continuation of last week. Right now, we are still waiting to hear more about the Brett Kavanaugh nomination. Throughout the week, the FBI has been investigating the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh. While this has been happening, tensions have clearly been rising throughout the country, and soon we will know whether or not there is enough concern to not appoint him to the Supreme Court. In addition to Kavanaugh, there's been even more news recently. Earlier, a Chicago cop was convicted for a high-profile murder that took place three years ago. And, there is now a possible salmonella contamination that certain parts of the country have to watch out for. The week wasn't all sad and gloomy, there were some pretty positive moments too. Last week, I spoke about how the Duchess of Cambridge's first official appearance since March was announced, and this week she carried it out! The palace has also announced more upcoming events for the
