Good morning, Eder.

Hey, good morning, Leila.

Okay, so catch us up.

What do we know so far about the Trump administration's strikes on boats in the Caribbean?

OK, so you're in Trinidad on land, not far from where the U.S.

says strikes are occurring.

What's it like there?

can do better than bombing boats out of the water.

What have you heard about the people aboard these boats that have been struck?

A daring robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris has stunned France.

Masked thieves used a bucket lift to break into one of the museum's most iconic galleries, smashing display cases and making off with what French officials say are priceless royal jewels.

All in just seven minutes and they made their escape on scooters.

Two pieces of the royal jewels were recovered, including a diamond-encrusted crown, which belonged to the wife of Napoleon III.

Police say the robbers were highly organized and a major manhunt is now underway.

And that's up first for Monday, October 20th.

I'm Leila Faudel.
