Well hello there. Good morning. It's Wednesday, August 31st, 2022. The last day of the month.

This is first thing with Kevin Mano. Today marks the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. She was 36 years old.

I'm sure today you'll see and hear a lot about her and the tragedy that took her life. The 25th anniversary.

The headline this week is that Ukrainian forces have begun a counteroffensive in an attempt to regain control of Karsol.

Meanwhile, according to US intelligence, it's reported that Russia is now in possession of Iranian drones that will likely be deployed.
