问题 What is reported in the news?
  
16. Central American nations have reached an agreement to allow about 7000 Cuban migrants stranded in Costa Rica to continue their journey towards the United States. They’ll be airlifted to Salvador and put on buses for the U. S.

They have been stuck at the border in precarious conditions for over a month".

One regional administrator accused arsonists of starting most of the fires.
18. Ian Lemmy Kilmistera, a founding member and front man of the British heavy metal rock band Motor Head has died. He was 70. Lemmy was known for his fast and furious base guitar and gravelly voice.
