I) TELLING REAL STORIES

                                                   

Steven Spielberg (CNN)

"I think people on the outside of filmmaking think of us as a glamour business. This is not a glamour business when you're in the foxholes of production. This is hard, hard work, and as I've gotten older I've appreciated the work and I'm grateful for it, and I'm grateful I still get to make movies. As I get older, I prefer to tell stories that actually already happened." (CNN)

II) THE MESSY BREXIT

                                    

The dilemma: is it worth it?

As vote on Brexit nears, the issue is more divisive than ever. Britain's planned departure from the European Union has split homes and workplaces, friendships and marriages. (CNN)

                                              

III) POWER OUTAGE
