Three Things for September 12
1. The late Queen’s corgis will go to the Duke and Duchess of York
After the queen’s death on Thursday Sept 8, her corgis, Muick and Sandy, were placed with the Duke and Duchess of York.
The corgis were gifts from Prince Andrew and his daughters in 2021 after her husband, Prince Phillip died.

"The corgis will return to live at Royal Lodge [on the Windsor Estate] with the Duke and Duchess," a source close to Andrew told the BBC.
NPR reports, it has not been decided where the queen’s other two dogs will go, a cocker spaniel named Lissy and a dachshund corgi hybrid named Candy.

2. Biden paid tribute to 9/11 victims
Sunday, Sept. 11, marked the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, marked by President Joe Biden taking part in a wreath laying ceremony held at the Pentagon.
The Associated Press reports, August 2022 marks one year since Biden ended the war in Afghanistan, but Biden reported his administration still pursues those responsible for the attacks on 9/11. The end of the Afgan war brought a bombing to Kabul’s airport killing 170 Afgans and 13 U.S. troops.
“We will never forget, we will never give up,” Biden said. “Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end.”

3. Ukraine accuses Russia of retaliatory attacks
Ukraine accused Russia of attacking a civilian infrastructure in response to a weekend offense that drove Russia from their main bastion.
The retaliatory attacks targets included water facilities and a thermal power station causing widespread blackouts. Reuters reports Moscow is almost silent during this defeat.
"No military facilities, the goal is to deprive people of light & heat," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter late on Sunday.
