We also marked the 90th birthday of England’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and a celebration of William Shakespeare, 400 years after his death. There were other large news stories throughout the U.S., like the presidential primary in New York and a decision from the U.S. Treasury on the fate of the $10 bill. Outside the U.S., Brazil’s president lost a crucial impeachment vote and earthquakes devastated parts of Ecuador. Read some of the biggest stories of the week, as they appeared in The Daily Edition. 1. Pop music superstar Prince is dead at 57—Chicago Tribune, Greg Kot Top line: “The Minneapolis-born artist released several dozen studio albums, and had at least as much unreleased music in his archives. His hits included the album and movie “Purple Rain,” which established him as a major star in the mid-‘80s. He famously broke away from the major-label system in the mid-‘90s to become an independent artist. The hits dried up, but he continued to steadily release music and pioneered the use of the Internet as a distributor for his music. He toured infrequently in recent years, but when he did, he continued to be a huge draw. A 2004 arena tour produced $87 million in revenue.” Topic to follow: Prince 2.

In Saudi Arabia, Obama Says U.S. Still Has ‘Serious Concerns’ on Iran—NBC News, Alexander Smith Top line: “The U.S. continues to have ‘serious concerns’ about Iran’s behavior even after the watershed nuclear deal last year, President Barack Obama said Thursday during meeting hosted by Tehran’s arch-rival Saudi Arabia. While the agreement signed on July 14 had helped ‘cut off every single one of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear weapon,’ illegal Iranian arms shipments, ballistic missile tests, and ‘destabilizing acts’ were a continued worry for the U.S. and its allies, the president said.” Topic to follow: Iran 8. Virginia governor enables 200,000 felons to vote in November—Associated Press, Alan Suderman Top line: “More than 200,000 convicted felons will be able to cast ballots in the swing state of Virginia in November under a sweeping executive order Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Friday. The Democrat said restoring the rights of felons to vote and run for office will help undo the state’s long history of trying to prevent African-Americans from fully participating in our democracy. Republicans said ex-offenders who committed violent crimes, like murder, should not be allowed to vote or have other civil rights restored.” Topic to follow: Virginia 9. 3 kids survive slaying of 8 family members in Ohio—CNN, Ralph Ellis and Emanuella Grinberg Top line: “Eight family members found dead in a rural southern Ohio community were shot in the head ‘execution style,’ most while they slept, authorities said Friday.” Topic to follow: Ohio 10. Shakespeare: who put those thoughts in his head?—The Guardian, Jonathan Bate Top line: “As for immortalising himself, he was lackadaisical about publishing his works. The sonnets may well have been published without his permission, and half his plays were unpublished at the time of his death. Had it not been for the diligence of his fellow actors in seeing into print the First Folio of his collected comedies, tragedies and histories in 1623, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, The Tempest and a dozen more would be lost.” Topic to follow: William Shakespeare Check out The Daily Edition throughout the week for your news updates. ~GabyS is reading The Weekend
