#ThewRap: Things you need to know, September 5, 2017
Hello! Here are the stories you shouldn't miss this Tuesday.

Another young person, another controversial death.

This time, his name is 19-year-old Carl Arnaiz, who was killed August 18 after supposedly hijacking a taxi and exchanging fire with cops. An autopsy revealed, however, that he was handcuffed, beaten up, and killed – and now, cops are on the spotlight once again for what appears to be abuse of force and power. This comes as the death of Kian delos Santos is still raising a lot of unanswered questions.

Abroad, North Korea is accused of “begging for war” with its latest nuclear test; Myanmar faces international anger over the escalating Rohingya crisis; and the British royal family will again welcome a child, courtesy of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. 

These, and more, in today’s wRap.
