Current Affairs 3
1. British police arrested 24 suspects for smuggling explosives onto airplanes. They attempted to blow up those jets in mid-air between Britain and the United States. Many of the suspects are in their 20s and mostly Muslim men living in London. They disguised liquid explosives as drinks which is easy to explode in compressed air like inside of aircrafts. US Homeland Security Secretary said this operation was suggestive of an al Qaeda plot. The US government raised its terror alert level to the highest "Five" for flights from Britain to the US for the first time. The teacher said the militant Islam must give younger a brainwash. I took this news and most of the classmates seemed to choose this topic. First come, first served!
2. Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited to Mongolia for talks with Mongolian Prime Minister to support developing energy resources there and call for cooperation in dealing with North Korea. Mr. Koizumi also visited to a war memorial in the suburbs of Ulan Bator for some 1,600 Japanese who died during Soviet internment after the end of World War II. This time he did nothing special like riding a camel in the Jordanian desert just weeks ago and visiting Elvis Presley's mansion in Memphis in June.
3. Supermarket giant Aeon Co. (not that English School AEON!) will start charging customers 5 to 10 yen per plastic shopping bag this year to become the first major retailer to implement the fee system. A number of smaller supermarket chains are already charging shoppers for the plastic bags, but Aeon's introduction will be the first by such a large company. Ito-Yokado Co. is planning its own fee system for the bags. The sad thing is that many customers pay those fees because it's cheap. BYOB (not beer, but bags)!
4. The United Stats plans to give South Korea wartime operational control over Korean troops within three years. Korean President Roh Moo hyun said that Korea can withdraw wartime control of its troops from the U.S. any time, and this remarks provoked fierce criticism against Mr. Roh. He is often said undiplomatic. He needs a media trainer, perhaps.
We read the article from The Guardian; "Portugal's men taken to task". It says that Portuguese, Greek and Spanish men are the top of the household layabouts’ ranking. The survey was conducted only in European countries. If it was done around the world, Japanese men are the top without doubt! I have to admit that my dad never lift a finger at home. I'm afraid he doesn't know even how to make a coffee.
