Hello! Here’s what’s happening on Monday.

1. Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman reportedly taped “nearly every conversation” during her tenure. She has claimed to have a “treasure trove” of videos, emails, and text messages from her time in the West Wing.

2. UK Prime Minister Theresa May threw cold water on the idea of a second Brexit referendum. May said it would be a “gross betrayal” of democracy and trust.

3. Scientists say “sonic attacks” on US embassies may have been caused by Cold-War era microwave weapons. New research says microwave signals may have caused brain injuries to US nationals in embassies in Cuba and China.

4. Two Reuters journalists have been sentenced to seven years in prison in Myanmar. The men have been charged with illegal possession of official documents, and were arrested while reporting on Rohingya Muslims.

5. A senior Saudi official seemed to confirm the Kingdom is moving forward with plans to turn Qatar into an island. Rumors have swirled for months around plans to dig a canal along the 38-mile Saudi-Qatar border.
