France now has over 41 thousand new cases – a record.  More and more places are in curfew from 9pm to 5am.  In total 49 million people are affected by this.  In Belgium the deputy Prime Minister is in intensive care in hospital.  There is a state of emergency in the Czech Republic.  The reports from all over Europe indicate that the virus is getting out of control in this second wave.
Trump versus Biden on TV.  This is supposed to be a place where the candidates can explain their plans and let people decide who to vote for.  Trump says the virus is going away.  Biden says that over 220 thousand deaths mean that people are dying because of it and it is not going away.  Biden says that green energy like wind power will offer jobs to American people but Trump says this will destroy the oil companies.  He says wind turbines create more pollution and kill birds. And so on … The TV and newspapers say that Trump was more calm this time but told more lies.
Have you seen anything about Carbon-14?  Hmm.. thought not.  It is a form of carbon which is radioactive and it is dangerous for over 5 thousand years.  It can create very deep effects on human bodies and change the internal structures.  Deadly.  There were concerns about the radioactive water that the Japanese are planning to pour into the Pacific Ocean from the flooded nuclear plant at Fukishima.  It turns out that the water contains Carbon-14 and they cannot find any way to remove it from the water.  Greenpeace, the organisation trying to protect the planet, are trying to get the Japanese Government to stop this.  It seems like wherever we turn around there is another climate disaster and threat to our lives.
