Trouble in Nigeria with police shooting demonstrators.  It started when police were beating a man.  People came on the streets to protest and then it became bigger to protest about corruption in the Government.  The police started to move people away and the after days of protests they were told to use guns and then it was live ammunition.  People died.  The protests continue.

There may be more changes in the weather this year because of the sea temperature in the Pacific Ocean.  When the sea temperature is lower than normal it creates a condition called La Nina (Spanish… they say it as La Neen yah).  It creates more rain in Australia and Asia and more snow in Canada and drought in the south of USA.  It eventually reaches UK making the winter colder.
