More than 220,000 Cubans have come through the U.S.-Mexico border in the last fiscal year, with many fleeing shortages of food, medicine and power, as well as a crackdown on anti-government protests. SAMMI: In international news, a local hospital in northern Ghana told 29-year-old Sulemana Abdul Samed during one of his recent check-ups that he had reached the height of 9 ft 6in. This would make him the tallest man in the world. A shocked nurse found at his most recent check up that he had “grown taller than the scale”. BBC News reported news of this Ghanaian giant this Monday.  LEVI: Now, let’s go to Aiden to hear about one of the hidden gems of the DMV!
