1. Colombia continues in protests
This Wednesday there will be a new day of national unemployment in Colombia, after the National Committee of the Unemployment and President Iván Duque did not reach an agreement at the meeting held on Tuesday to seek a solution to different demands. After the death of student Dilan Cruz on Monday, who became a symbol of the protest, many took to the streets to reject what happened to the young man who was injured by the police. Duque also announced a set of measures in the framework of the so-called "national conversation", measures that for now do not reduce the demonstrations.
2. Vaccines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP) vaccinate migrants detained against influenza in the winter of 2018, but the CBP rejected the idea , according to a letter obtained by CNN. The agency responded with a statement that due to the short term and "other logistical challenges" it was not feasible to operate a vaccination program. In the 2018-2019 influenza season, at least three children died while in CBP custody.
3. Presidents, not kings
Federal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered Monday that Don McGahn, a former White House lawyer, testify before the House of Representatives in the political trial investigation against Donald Trump. With the decision, Jackson dismissed the president's claim that McGahn was subject to general immunity. "Simply put, the main conclusion of the last 250 years of recorded American history is that presidents are not kings," Jackson wrote. How much power does a president have? Look at this analysis by Stephen Collinson.
4. Storm
From California to Michigan, more than 20 million people are under winter weather warnings, alerts or warnings, CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said. There are more than 20 days left until the official start of winter and a storm with hurricane muscles could interrupt holiday trips for Thanksgiving. Read here what you can expect from coast to coast.
5. Animal cruelty
President Donald Trump signed the law that turns animal cruelty into a federal crime on Monday. It is called the PACT Act and it extends a law passed in 2010. From now on a person can be prosecuted for crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating or impaling animals or exploiting them sexually. The convicted would face federal charges for serious crimes, fines and up to seven years in prison.
