Friday 11.2.18 They are 10 remarkable trailblazers who have truly changed the world. Meet this year's CNN Heroes. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door. By Doug Criss

Midterm elections It was billed as a big announcement on asylum policies, but President Trump's address on immigration turned out to be more like his typical campaign speeches. He said he would sign an executive order next week that would restrict asylum rules to close the door on the Central American migrants now trekking here through Mexico. He also said US troops he's sending to the border could fire on migrants if they threw rocks at the soldiers (Pentagon rules don't allow that; here are a few other fact checks of the speech). At a rally later in Missouri, the President called the concept of birthright citizenship -- enshrined in the 14th Amendment -- a "crazy, lunatic policy." It's clear Trump is doubling down on stoking immigration fears to shore up the GOP's Senate majority, even if it ends up costing the Republicans the House.

Russia investigation Political operative Roger Stone was in contact with at least one senior member of the Trump campaign about WikiLeaks disclosures during the 2016 presidential race. We now know this because an October 2016 email exchange between Stone and then-Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon was published in The New York Times and in an opinion piece Stone wrote for The Daily Caller.  Here's why it's important: The emails are among documents in special counsel Robert Mueller's possession as he investigates whether Stone had an inside track with WikiLeaks and whether he shared any of that information with then-candidate Trump or Trump's inner circle. WikiLeaks published hacked emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman that may have come from Russian hackers.

Google walkouts Google employees worldwide briefly walked off the job to protest sexual harassment and discrimination scandals that have dogged the tech giant. All this comes after a New York Times investigation showed that for years the company had paid executives accused of harassment millions in severance packages. The protests' organizers want Google to end forced arbitration in harassment cases; make data on gender, race and ethnicity compensation gaps more transparent; and create a clear, inclusive process for reporting sexual misconduct safely and anonymously.

Ethiopia The first female Supreme Court chief in Ethiopia's history has been sworn in. The selection of human rights lawyer Meaza Ashenafi is part of a wave of appointments of women to top positions in the country. Just last week, Sahle-Work Zewde was picked as the country's first female President. And Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed reshuffled his Cabinet so women now hold half the seats. The Prime Minister has embarked on liberal reforms since taking office in April and has pushed for more "gender parity" in key leadership positions.

School bus stop crashes For at least the fifth time in three days, a vehicle struck kids trying to get on a school bus. The latest incident happened in Tampa, where police say a fast-moving car hit several people. Two adults and five children were hospitalized. Other crashes occurred in Mississippi, Indiana and a second Florida city. The Indiana incident was the most heartbreaking: A 9-year-old girl and her two brothers were killed while crossing the street to catch their bus. Parallel contruction practice
