a new week has begun, and we're happy you've begun it with us. 2 

I'm your anchor, Carla Zeus, our first story. 4 

The communist nation of North Korea has apparently carried out its first missile tests since 2017 and analysts say it could also be a test of the United States. 5 

For years, the two rival countries have been at odds over North Korea's nuclear weapons program and its missiles that could potentially carry a nuclear weapon. 6 

In the past, North Korea has said its nuclear program is a right. 7 

The United States and other members of the United Nations have said it's illegal, and they put strict penalties on North Korea's economy to pressure the country to end its nuclear program. 8 

North Korea wants those sanctions removed. 9 

S wants North Korea's weapons programs ended. 11 

But the two sides did not reach a deal when their leaders met for a second summit in February, and experts say the missile test that North Korea conducted on Saturday could be a warning. 12 

The North Korea's frustrated that progress hasn't been made since this winter, the White House says, while it continues to apply pressure to North Korea's economy. 13 

S hopes the two countries can get back to the negotiating table to reach a deal. 15 

Experts who examined this satellite image say it probably captured the smoke trail that one of the missiles left. 16 

It's believed to be from a short range projectile so it wouldn't technically break a North Korean promise not to fire long range missiles. 17 

Still, analysts say this could be a sign that more tests are on the horizon. 18 

Which of these events occurred in 1994? 19 

President Clinton reelected Channel Tunnel, completed World Trade Center bombing for Cold War ended. 20 

All of these events took place in the 19 nineties, with the only one from 94 was the completion of the tunnel. 21 

In fact, it was on today's date in 1994 exactly 1/4 century ago that the Chunnel opened. 22 

And even though it spans the narrowest section between England and France at the Strait of Dover, the Channel Tunnel is still 31 miles long, and it runs as deep as 250 feet. 23 

Some had proposed building a long suspension bridge instead, or some combination of railroad and street to join the two countries. 24 

What was decided upon has impacted Europe dramatically. 25 

The English Channel separated Britain and continental Europe for 8000 years until 1994 when one of the 20th century's greatest engineering achievements connected them. 26 

Linking Folkston in southern England to Calais in northern France, the Channel Tunnel is the world's longest undersea tunnel. 27 

It transports passengers vehicles on goods in his little is 35 minutes through to train tunnels, while a smaller maintenance tunnel is used for repairs and emergencies. 28 

Some 60,000 people use the service each day, and the $156 billion worth of goods moved through the tunnel each year is believed to account for more than 1/4 of all trade between the UK and mainland Europe. 29 

Costing $6 billion the project took 13,000 workers six years to complete. 30 

While it was a feat of modern engineering, people have been thinking about tunneling under the English Channel since the turn of the 19th century, not always with the friendliest of intentions. 31 

It wasn't until after the Second World War that technology on European politics caught up to the idea. 32 

A 1986 treaty between Britain and France sealed. 33 

The deal on construction started a year later. 34 

On December, the 1st 1990 construction workers from Britain and France drilled through the last section of rock separating the two hearts of the service tunnel linking Britain to mainland Europe for the first time since the last ice age on dawn May the 6th 1994 the Channel Tunnel, officially Oakland. 35 

Since then, 430 million people and some 410 million tons of goods have passed through it. 36 

In recent years, the tunnel has become a focal point. 37 

The tensions around Brexit on immigration well, the future of the U. 38 

K's relationship with the new remains uncertain. 39 

The shared achievement the Channel Tunnel represents should stand the test of time, attention and for the last time, please help me spread out the words Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day. 40 

Okay, it's not a single in my own way. 41 

Celebrate the battalion level at the battle of were licensed 8 85 miles away from Mexico City. 42 

It's just basically the victory of the Mexican army against a French army Napoleon's army. 43 

But it is important because the French army had not been defeated in 50 years on, they came over to Mexico to collect a debt. 44 

Cinco de Mayo is not as big as cities in America, so thank you very much for celebrating equal in value for us. 47 

I have never seen such a big celebration and singled out by your fire. 49 

Eight people on the street, chiefs and avocado. 50 

Don't say happy scene going my in Mexico because they'll know you're you're not from Mexico. 52 

Maybe we say Have a nice day, but we don't say Have you think with you at all, So please don't confuse our Independence Day. 54 

Mexico's Independence Day is on the 16th of September, but we start celebrating on the 15 so don't confuse it. 55 

A student from Farmington, Minnesota, is making news for his work to help a classmate who was diagnosed with cancer. 57 

Luke Peterson is a wrestler, a football player hunter and a fisherman who's also a positive athlete, a program that highlights the inspiring work of American high school students you can nominate someone you know at CNN dot com slash positive athlete looks like a pretty successful nothing career. 58 

A farm again is a three time state entrant in this year to fourth in the state tournaments. 59 

We broke through and made the podium, which is pretty awesome for him and all the hard work he's done in the off seasons. 60 

Wrestling is just you and one other person out there, so you don't have anybody to blame if you lose. 62 

Well, I think you're a natural leader, stuff that he does with Charlie Strong. 63 

It's just natural for him to sort of be out front, find something to do. 64 

I've always known Charlie just cause he used to be an arresting program in middle school, and I was just strolling through social media one day and I saw that. 65 

But he was diagnosed with a tumor, and then I thought about what about if we got like, the whole school like community to help out. 66 

So then I just talked to my parents and we ended up making a T shirt that said Charlie Strong on the front. 67 

It's well, actually, text me when I got a few ideas. 69 

So we talked to the team, and there's one meet where they all wrote Charlie strong under headgear and we t shirts out and they made posters and posted her own and took donations for the night. 73 

Just sort of ran, if it there to try to help his fellow student so free often. 74 

And then all that money we got from the T shirts and donations give Charlie's family. 75 

It made me feel pretty well, wearing those T shirts, just giving back to someone that has been a friend of mine for a while. 76 

It just having that support system out of everyone. 77 

We were swimmer that's also 1/9 grader, was diagnosed with cancer. 79 

Also, the swimming team sort of followed loosely ended a hashtag Jacob Strong and did their own thing. 80 

All my coaches always tell us you can't do the big things if you don't do the little things. 81 

So even if it's like something little like holding the door for someone or helping someone. 82 

And eventually if you start doing those little things, the big things, that up, he means well, he's gonna do the right thing and just a great kid. 83 

Theo World's tallest dive coaster is now open for business, so buckle up and see if you can handle the suspense. 84 

This is what Canada's Wonderland theme park looks like from the Yukon Striker, a thrill ride that actually suspends writers for three seconds before they dive straight down. 85 

So you get a good gander where you're going, and then you go there. 86 

The dive beneath an underwater tunnel is one part of it. 87 

The four inversions and 80 mile per hour top speed are others. 88 

A dive coaster is one that dives straight down. 89 

This is said to be the tallest, longest and fastest dive coaster on the planet, so you won't find gold in them thar hills. 90 

But if you don't mind the prospect of hitching up to a mind wagon, that tunnel's its way through stalactite twists and turns. 91 

 It might not be an horrible idea to stake your claim on what could be the mother lode of all dive coasters.
