Somebody bought $1 million worth of toys for local kids as Toys 'R' Us closed for goodA kind samaritan made the closure of Toys 'R' Us a little easier for the children of North Carolina who don't wanna grow up.  The future youth of America will never know the overwhelming feeling of joy while running through the aisles of the giant toy chain. After filing for bankruptcy in September, more than 700 Toys 'R' Us stores will be closing for good on Friday. SEE ALSO: Please enjoy this wonderful dog frolicking through a homemade ball pit An anonymous person purchased $1 million worth of toys from a Toys 'R' Us in Raleigh, North Carolina, local outlet CBS 17 reports. The toys will reportedly be donated to local children, according to employees who work at the store.  Instead of opening the store one last time on Friday, employees spent the day packing up boxes and putting them on a truck for the generous person.  Customers looking to get some last minute deals were greeted with locked doors, though some didn't seem to mind upon hearing the news.  "Oh, that's so nice. I'm happy to hear that," Erin Sampson told CBS 17. "That's great. I'd like to know who it is," said Danyel Smith. It's unclear when or how the purchased toys will be distributed to the kids.

Migration challenge is make-or-break for EU, says passionate MerkelThe European Union's fate rests on its ability to rise to the challenges of migration, a passionate Chancellor Angela Merkel told Germany's parliament on Thursday ahead of a Brussels summit dominated by an issue that threatens her ruling coalition. Falling refugee numbers had ended the state of emergency that had caused her to throw open Germany's doors to more than a million migrants in 2015, she said. Merkel needs other European countries to come to her aid in facing down a rebellion by conservative coalition allies in Bavaria's Christian Social Union, who demand that asylum seekers registered elsewhere in the EU be barred from entering Germany.
