2. Winnipeg and Hamilton to meet in the 2019 Grey Cup

For one franchise, a lengthy Grey Cup drought is going to end in Calgary next weekend. It’s been 20 years since the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have won it all and 29 years since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers hoisted the trophy. Those are the two teams that will be playing for the title next weekend. Kickoff is on Sunday at 3 pm.

3. Kylie Jenner sells 51% of her beauty and cosmetic brands for $600 million

Jenner sold 51% of her business Kylie Cosmetics to Coty for $600 million, which values her company at around $1.2 billion.

4. Measles outbreak kills at least 16 in Samoa

A measles outbreak in Samoa has claimed the lives of at least 16 people. Fifteen of the victims are children, while one adult has also died. In response, Samoa has closed its schools, banned children from public gatherings and has mandated that everyone get vaccinated. Only 30% of Samoans are protected from the disease.

Work to manage and end the measles epidemic ravaging the country will now be organised by the National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC), activated under the State of Emergency protocols. https://t.co/4VZuM8zenC

5. Prince Andrew caught up in racial issue

It’s not a good time to be Prince Andrew. The Duke of York is currently caught up in a couple of scandalous issues, including an accusation that he used a racial slur during a palace meeting in 2012. Prince Andrew denies using the ‘n-word’, but a former aide of David Cameron said he heard him use the word and has provided the exact quote.

Former David Cameron aide Rohan Silva says Prince Andrew used the n-word in a meeting in 2012. "Well if you'll pardon the expression, that really is the n* in the woodpile," he reportedly said. #PrinceAndrew https://t.co/X523IKLuGL
