1. The late Queen’s corgis will go to the Duke and Duchess of York

"The corgis will return to live at Royal Lodge [on the Windsor Estate] with the Duke and Duchess," a source close to Andrew told the BBC.

NPR reports, it has not been decided where the queen’s other two dogs will go, a cocker spaniel named Lissy and a dachshund corgi hybrid named Candy.

2. Biden paid tribute to 9/11 victims

Sunday, Sept. 11, marked the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, marked by President Joe Biden taking part in a wreath laying ceremony held at the Pentagon. 

The Associated Press reports, August 2022 marks one year since Biden ended the war in Afghanistan, but Biden reported his administration still pursues those responsible for the attacks on 9/11. The end of the Afgan war brought a bombing to Kabul’s airport killing 170 Afgans and 13 U.S. troops.

“We will never forget, we will never give up,” Biden said. “Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end.”
