Twitter won't take down the Trump tweet

On Sept. 23, Trump tweeted, "Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!" The phrase "Little Rocket Man" refers to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In a statement on Monday, Ri said: "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make all self-defensive counter measures, including the right to shoot down the United States strategic bombers at any time even when they are not yet inside the aerospace border of our country."White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the U.S. has not declared war on North Korea. "Frankly, the suggestion of that is absurd," she said on Monday. Twitter faced questions on Monday from users on its platform about why the company hadn't taken the tweet down and whether Trump's tweet violated the company's rules. Those rules indicate the company can suspend an account that is deemed to have engaged in violent threats; attacks on people based on race, religion, gender and more; or "targeted abuse or harassment of others." In a six-tweet response thread, Twitter said that when it considers removing a tweet, one of the factors it takes into account the newsworthiness and public interest of the post. The company also said it is "committed to transparency and keeping people informed about what's happening in the world."

I think the reporter did a good job because he showed great writing skills and good descriptive details. I will use this descriptive writing next time I write about my reporting.

France's 2018 Winter Olympics team considers skipping due to security

French Sports Minister Laura Flessel said Thursday it is possible France will skip the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, due to security concerns.

According to Reuters, Flessel told RTL radio that if "our security cannot be assured, the French team will stay at home." Worldwide tension continues to mount as the United States and North Korea engage in concerning rhetoric regarding nuclear capabilities.

Flessel made it clear no decision has been made at this point, saying, "We're not there yet."

United States President Donald Trump announced Thursday several sanctions to be placed on North Korea in an effort to minimize its nuclear threat. 

They reporter did really well with gathering the 5 w's. I felt like they could have provided more information or a statement from the athletes. I learned how to make good headlines. I will apply their creative headline styles into my writing as a reporter

boy find rare condition via hot dog

A 9-year-old boy who was enjoying a hot dog took a massive bite -- and went into cardiac arrest. But choking wasn't the cause, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Pediatrics. 

The terrifying incident had a much more unlikely cause, according to Dr. Isa Ozyilmaz. The chunk of frankfurter stimulated the boy's vagus nerve, and this triggered an abnormal heart rhythm that in turn caused his heart to abruptly stop beating, Ozyilmaz and his co-authors speculated in the case study. The nerve, which extends from the head to the abdomen, helps the heart and gastrointestinal system function. Overall the boy had a happy ending but did discover his rare condition called Brigade Syndrome.
