NEWTON: They may still spell your name wrong on that cup, but Starbucks says it's determined to get something else right. The fight against plastic waste. The company says it will phase out plastic straws from all of its branches by 2020. Starbucks currently uses one billion straws a year, many of which risk ending up in our oceans. Instead, raise a glass to this. Look at that right there. Now, it is a new cup that will feature a raised lip that you can drink from. Ingenious, isn't it? As long as it doesn't spill on my dress. Starbucks joins McDonald's branches in the U.K. and Ireland in ditching its plastic straws. I'm all for it, even if we had a soggy paper straw, I'm sure we could all cope the use there. Now, Britain's Prince Louis was christened in a private ceremony today. The sleeping prince arrived with mom, dad, and elder siblings, George and Charlotte. It was the first public appearance for the full family of five. The 11-week-old is fifth in line to the British throne. Queen and duke of Edinburgh did not attend though. Report say that decision was made some time ago and their absence was not because of health reasons. We all know the queen enjoys the christening, so I'm sure she's enjoying these pictures. And we will have much more right after this.
