Trump not guilty
After the short trial, the senators voted 57 to 43 … that was not enough to convict Trump.  This means they do not believe he caused the riot in the Capitol on January 6^th.  Odd because the Republican leader (he voted not guilty), then gave a speech to say Trump was responsible.  President Biden agreed about Trump and said “democracy is fragile” – meaning if we don’t accept the results of the majority, there can be trouble.  Boris, as always, disagrees – he says USA “democracy is strong.” 
There is Mars excitement in Emirates and in China.  Both countries have their spacecrafts going around the planet in orbit.  The Chinese will land on the planet in May – they have to pick the right spot.  Then their robot car (rover) will trundle around for 50 days trying to find water and ice.  The American spacecraft is to land on February 18^th.
Every year in UK, 11 thousand men die from prostate cancer.  Prostagram is a 15 minute scan, like women have for breast cancer.  The scan is better than the blood test.  The plan for the future – men can have a scan every three years.   This will discover the cancer early and save lives.
You know that Stonehenge is 3,000 years old.  They know that the stones in the middle came from West Wales.  Now they have found a place in West Wales where there was an exact same size stone circle long before Stonehenge.  They found that at least one stone fitted exactly in the hole in Wales.  That means that people from Wales moved to Stonehenge and took the stones with them.  The circle is set up exactly in line with the summer sun rise.  Now they have to find out why the people moved from Wales to England.
