Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Monday, November 11th, 2019 and we begin

with much of the country taking a day off from school and work to pay tribute to the 20 million Americans who've served in our military.

Veterans Day, also known as Armistice Day, coincides with a formal end of fighting in World War

1, which came at the 11th hour of the 11th day

of the 11th month in 1918.

President Trump will mark the day by speaking at the start of the Veterans Day parade in New York City,

which is considered the country's biggest.

A bone-chilling weather front is expected to sweep across the U. the US from New Mexico to New Jersey

with freezing temperatures stretching as far south as parts of the Gulf Coast.

Meteorologists say more than 140 records could fall in the next few days.

Will your Insta be among the chosen ones?

been randomly selected if your counts suddenly disappear from public view.

For now, it's only temporary. Instagram launched the experiment to see if it can lessen the social pressure

that comes from watching and waiting for the approval of others.

It's already been tested in seven other countries, including Canada, Australia, Japan, and Italy.

It only happens a few times a century and with a right eyewear you can catch it happening this morning. The planet Mercury will pass

directly between Earth and the Sun starting at 7.35 a.m. Eastern time. The Mercury

transit, as it's called, will last about five and a half hours and appear

as a tiny black dock gliding diagonally across the center of our star. Weather permitting,

everyone but those in Asia and Australia will get a good view.
