Celebrate!

Sorry I was away for the weekend, but I also missed out on some brilliant news, the ceasefire in Gaza! It may start up again, but for now the bodies will stop piling up, which is enough of a reason for a celebration.



Also, the inaugaration, tomorrow, Barack Obama will officially be the first African-American President. With the 20,000 troops moving into Afghanistan, it doesn't look like things will change immediately. There is also a link with another news piece, the more jobs that are lost, the more people who will forced to find military jobs. With more military jobs, more people to be ordered. A quicker end to the war? Or will it make things even more complicated?

The Gaza war is paused, but has it reached a full stop? I think that this will resume, they're just taking a break to get more supplies and clean up Gaza. This needs to stop as quick as possible.

Russia and Ukraine have finally reached a deal. In Moscow the Russia and Ukraine Prime Minister's agreed on a deal. Ukraine will be forced to pay a little more than they did last year however. This is very good news as finally Europe can get some more fuel to keep on going and keep our homes heated. To avoid this problem in future all the world must find more resources of energy for the future. Russia does have 12 deaths on it's conscious, 12 people froze to death with insufficient energy. We hope that this deal holds, unlike the others.

Thanks for the update. I haven't had time to catch up on the news lately.

I wonder if Europe will look to nuclear energy as a viable alternative. Yes, it's controversial, but Europe may have no choice.

Oh, and Obama scares me.
