The Week in Review: 10/19/18

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. (Instagram account: @princesseugenie) There's also been some more serious stuff going on. 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

This week has been quite chaotic here in the U.S. One of the biggest news stories making headlines has been the sexual misconduct allegations about Brett Kavanaugh. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford recently testified about the alleged sexual assault, and many have come out to show their support for her story. Not only has this hearing drawn attention about sexual assault, but this week has had some other key stories involving sexual assault as well. While the Kavanaugh hearings have been occurring, celebrities have been telling their stories about why they didn't report being sexually assaulted. The new #WhyIDidn'tReport movement has started, and not only have celebrities been sharing their personal experiences, but other sexual assault survivors have come out as well. And, while we wait to see how the country handles these allegations of sexual assault, we finally saw justice for survivors who have been assaulted by Bill Cosby, as he has just been sentenced to jail.
