President of United States, Donald Trump has now caught the virus. For months he has denied there was a problem and he has not been wearing a mask. One of his closest workers, Hicks, has been travelling around with him and with his wife. They found that she had the virus and so it has been passed on. Trump is 74 years old and is more at risk. He made fun of Biden at the debate on Tuesday because Biden wore a mask. Hicks went for the test last Thursday but Trump carried on with travelling and met with many people.
Serious problem now with ash trees in the UK. It looks like 40 thousand trees will need to be cut down. The reason for this is a fungus called ash dieback. This affects the tree by stopping the water pass through the trunk and branches and the leaves and then the tree itself just dies. The fungus gets blown by the wind and so affects other trees. That is why the trees need to be cut down when they discover ash dieback. Nearly all of the ash trees die if the fungus reaches them. There are over 120 million ash trees and they are seen all over the country.
Good news if you are thinking of flying to the moon for a holiday, when the travel companies are working again. The Space Agency is testing a new toilet which is suitable for space. It is going to be tried out by astronauts in the International Space Station very soon. It has lots of new features to make it more suited to women. The first one costs about $23 million so that might take a long time to pay for, if you only spend a penny each time.
