YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Sat Oct 19 2024

Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know about what’s happening across the state before you start your day.

The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising drivers to add extra travel time to prepare for weekend travels with freeway workscheduled along Interstate 17, U.S. 60, Interstate 10 and Loop 101.

Here are the freeway closures to know before you hit metro Phoenix roads this weekend.

Architect Henry Trost designed the stunning Hassayampa Inn with its exterior of red brick trimmed in white and topped with a bell tower. A jilted newlywed named Faith later hanged herself in the bell tower.

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1781: British Gen. Charles Cornwallis surrendered to Gen. George Washington, ending the Battle of Yorktown and giving up any chance of winning the Revolutionary War.
•	In 1943: Actor Paul Robeson opened in “Othello” at the Shubert Theater in New York City. The show ran for 296 consecutive performances, setting the record to this day for the longest run of any Shakespeare play on Broadway. Robeson is one of the first African Americans to perform “Othello” on a professional American stage.
•	In 1950: United Nations forces, including those from the U.S. and South Korea, captured Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, marking temporary success in forcing the North Korean military to retreat.
•	In 1987: Wall Street stocks plunged a record 508 points, or 22.6% ― the largest one-day drop in stock market history. The market crash raised fears of a global economic collapse on the day that became known as “Black Monday.”
•	In 2005: Trial began for Iraq’s deposed President Saddam Hussein. He and seven co-defendants were charged with crimes against humanity for the torture and murder of Iraqi citizens in Dujail in 1982. Hussein was eventually sentenced to death and hanged on Dec. 30, 2006.
•	In 2020: New Zealand legalized euthanasia, making it one of the few countries to allow voluntary assisted dying, although only under strict conditions.
