Things you need to know
1. President Trump and Kim Jong Un’s high school exchange continues
The scary and semi-childish exchange between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un continued on Friday. After Kim Jong Un said Trump will “pay dearly” for his threats at the U.N., Trump tweeted on Friday that Kim Jong Un was a “madman” and “will be tested like never before!” It will be interesting (and again, scary) to see how this one plays out.
Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!

3. Uber told it can no longer operate in London
Uber is no longer welcome in London, England. Transport for London, the body that hands out licenses for taxis in the U.K. capital, has refused to renew Uber’s license. They say Uber isn’t “fit and proper” to hold a private hire operator license due to a number of public safety and security concerns.
