NEWS INTRO VIDEO

US President Donald Trump has announced in his State of the Union speech that he will hold a second nuclear summit with North Korea's leader this month. In an address to the nation with the theme "Choosing Greatness", he vowed once again to build a border wall. While appealing for political unity, the Republican president also said "ridiculous partisan investigations" could damage US prosperity. In a rebuttal, Democrats accused Mr Trump of abandoning US values.

In other news,

Astronomers say they have the first evidence of a head-on collision between two planets in a distant star system. They believe two objects smacked into each other to produce an iron-rich world, with nearly 10 times the mass of Earth. A similar collision much closer to home may have led to the formation of the Moon 4.5 billion years ago. The discovery was made by astronomers in the Canary Islands observing a star system 1,600 light years away."

On this day in 1937, John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, the story of the bond between two migrant workers, is published. He adapted the book into a three-act play, which was produced the same year. The story brought national attention to Steinbeck’s work, which had started to catch on in 1935 with the publication of his first successful novel, Tortilla Flat.
