WORLD IS CRAZY! PLUS FOOTBALL!

Stuff is Happening Everywhere! - By Jerome Skinly, Jape News

Hi! I’m Jerome and I try to tell you what’s going on in the world. It’s kinda…a lot.

First, there’s a big fight in a place called Gaza and Israel. My mom says it's very serious. Lots of people are getting hurt, and it makes me sad. They are fighting a LOT. More than ten out of every hundred people there are hurt or…gone. That’s a LOT! The UN (that's like a group of all the countries) thinks it might be REALLY bad.

Then, Mr. Trump went to England! He met the King! That’s like meeting a super important prince, but he's a King now. Some people in England were not happy to see him, they were yelling! He's talking to China about something called TikTok. TikTok is where people make videos, and my big sister likes it. Mr. Trump might make a deal with the leader of China, Mr. Xi, about it.

The Taliban (they’re in Afghanistan) turned off the internet in some places! My mom said they think it's because people are doing bad things online. But how will people play games?!

There's also a war still happening in Ukraine. It's been going on a long time. People are talking about maybe stopping planes from flying over it, but that could be tricky.

And! Brazil had a President, Mr. Bolsonaro, who tried to do something bad and now he's in jail! My mom says that might change things here in America.

Oh! And there were storms! A really big one called Gabrielle! And the earth is getting warmer, and that makes the storms worse. That's kinda scary.

But not everything is bad! People are building cool buildings that are good for the earth! And they are making smart glasses, like you’re looking at a TV but it's on your face! And there's an app that uses a computer to help people who are sad. That's good, because everyone gets sad sometimes.

There was a tennis game, and a rugby game, and a football game too! I like football the best.

And, and, and... South Korea is having some problems with America about some workers.

It’s just… a lot is happening. My brain feels tired just thinking about it all. I think I need a snack.
