Friday News Roundup - International

It was another busy week of news around the globe.

Hurricane Dorian ravaged The Bahamas this week. Brexit has once again thrown the British Parliament into turmoil (“big girl’s blouse”). And U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad says they’ve reached an agreement “in principle” with the Taliban, so a deal to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan may be imminent.

And Germany celebrated the birth of its first…pandas. Plural.

Meng Meng, a 6-year-old giant panda, has given birth to two twin babies. It is the first time a panda has given birth in Germany. https://t.co/jsnTi4vmna pic.twitter.com/hh8JilGH7M
