World News. 8th February
Bad situation in Myanmar and getting worse. People are going on the streets to protest about the Army take-over. Doctors and teachers are going on strike. They arrest anyone who criticises the Army. The army has closed down Facebook and other Internet. They try to stop people protests. The army party failed at the election … so they just decided to take over. They are in control of a huge national company. It earns a lot of money from other countries. They do not want to lose their power. They are afraid of the winners of the election. People say they are afraid of the “knock on the door” – meaning when the army comes to take them away.
Russia problems are not going to end. With leader in jail, people are coming out on the streets to protest. Now thousands are squashed in jail. They are lucky. Other people are kept standing up in police vans for hours in the freezing cold. The jails are already full up.
It looks like Biden will win his big plan for giving money to people in the US. He wants to give $1.9 trillion to help people through the pandemic. They forced the plan through Congress – now they have to sort out how to get the payments to every adult. The idea: if people are unemployed or have to isolate, they can still have money to spend. That will help to keep the shops open.
Biden will not give Trump any information about the latest news on security. It was a tradition: new President would allow the old president to have information. Biden does not trust Trump. Trump’s lawyer says Trump doesn’t care. He is happy staying in his hotel in Mar a Lago in Florida.
