As the leaves change colour and the days get shorter here in the UK, Autumn (or Fall for our North American readers) is upon us. Looking back on September and the last of Summer, it has been quite the rollercoaster, as unexpected news filled headlines. Following shortly after Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria was the second Category 5 hurricane to hit land in this year's Atlantic hurricane season, leaving a wake of destruction and devastation across the Northeastern Caribbean. German Chancellor Angela Merkel had a hollow victory in the German general election, securing a fourth term but losing seats and now prepares for difficult coalition talks. Despite Theresa May's efforts to reassure the British public, Brexit negotiations appear to go round in circles; and a war of words over nuclear weapons between "rocket man" Kim Jong-un and "dotard" Donald Trump continues.
