No. 3 - President Donald Trump is reviving his border wall fight, preparing a new budget that will seek $8.6 billion for the U.S-Mexico barrier while imposing steep spending cuts to other domestic programs and setting the stage for another fiscal battle.
Trump's proposal, titled "A Budget for a Better America: Promises Kept. Taxpayers First" and set for release Monday, "embodies fiscal responsibility," said Russ Vought, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.
No. 4 - A member of Venezuela’s national assembly tweeting dozens of people are dead because of the recent blackout there. These deaths, all reported in hospitals across Venezuela, have been in the dark since last week.
No. 5 - Ethiopian Airlines has grounded all of its Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft as "an extra safety precaution" following the crash of one of its planes in which 157 people were killed, a spokesman said Monday, as Ethiopia marked a day of mourning and the plane's damaged "black box" of data was found.
Although it wasn't yet known what caused the crash of the new plane in clear weather outside Addis Ababa on Sunday, the airline decided to ground its remaining four 737 Max 8s until further notice, spokesman Asrat Begashaw said.
No. 6 - A 7-year-old boy is fighting for a second chance at life. Julian Morales was at the Calle Ocho festival in Miami Sunday as he suffers from a rare, life-threatening blood disorder and bone marrow failure.
According to Be The Match, people are more likely to match someone of their same ethnic background, so he hoped someone at the festival will be his match for a blood stem cell transplant.
Anyone can check to see if they are a match for Julian. Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 44. Anyone interested in participating can text 'Calle Ocho' (without quotation marks) to 61474 and Be The Match will send a kit to your home.
