Five things you need to know
1. Audi CEO arrested over diesel emissions scandal

2. Thomas Markle regrets not walking Meghan down the aisle
Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas, made headlines in the lead up to last month’s royal wedding for not travelling to England to walk the bride down the aisle. Now, in an interview with Good Morning Britain, the senior Markle said that he regrets the decision. “The unfortunate thing for me now is I’m a footnote in one of the greatest moments in history, rather than a father walking her down the aisle and that upsets me somewhat.”

5. A baby born on a Paris train gets free rides until he’s 25
Commuters in Paris were delayed this morning after a woman gave birth to a baby boy on the train. Although it was quite the inconvenience for those trying to get to work, it worked out quite nicely for the newly born child. He’ll get free train rides until he turns 25, according to a spokesperson for the transit authority. Not a bad deal!
Lovely news from Paris: a woman gave birth on an RER train this morning. Transport authorities have offered the baby boy free rail travel until he's 25.
