In other news, we will be sharing special news stories with you as we recount stories from this day in history (13th December). Ami reminds us what the 2017 word of the year was, Emily pays homage to a musical icon and Lubna looks back at how far we've come (or not come) with vaccines. 

To keep up to date with the three girls follow @3girls1newscast on Instagram! As much as we love talking to the void, feel free to say hey!
