News: Breivik tells trial he is "normally a very nice person"

This news talks about Breivik's case. On 22 July 2011, Breivik commited a massive killing (he killed 69 people) in Utoya island, in Oslo. Before, he car-bombed  the Norway government buildings, killing 8 people.
Nowadays is being carrying out the judgement against Breivik. He recognizes his acts but he says that he did it because he thinks that multiculturalism is the worst thing in humanity. Although, he didn't killed immigrant people but he murdered Labour Party members. They are "antichristianists" for Breivik. Despite the massive killing Breivik tells that he would killed the whole government and 500 people in Utoeya's island. Besides, Breivik says that he is a normal person. He is convinced his action is good for humanity and he would do it again.

In my opinion, Breivik is mad because I think none sane could do that. It's good that evreybody have their ideals but do things like that only for ideals is mad. He may go to a madhouse!

News: Spanish King Juan Carlos in him surgery after fall

This news talks about Juan Carlos I accident in Botswana. The monarch went to that African country to hunt wild animals. There he fall and he suffered a triple fracture in his hip. For that reason, Spanish King has been operated last Monday. This news also mentions other accidents featured by Juan Carlos I like an accident with a doorknob.Finally, it talks about Froilan accident who shot himself. 
Monarchy is an old way to structure a country. I don't understand how can be people who think that monarchy is a good system.The recent accidents that Spanish Royal house has featured may suggest to people for a change. Surveys says that the majority of Spain want a Republic. However, if people continue vote PP or PSOE, III Republic won't arrive never.

News: Bankia boss resign as rescue looms

This bit of a news  is about the Bankia boss resignation. The main reason of Rodrigo Rato's resignation is the rescue that Bankia will suffer due the poor economical conditions. It seems that Bankia needs about € 7.000 million. Bankia is a result of a fusion between 7 banks, in 2010. Nowadays is the forth bank in Spain. Although President Mariano Rajoy said he never rescue any bank with public money, Spanish government will save Bankia using public money.
I can't understand how a private organization that sponsors a MotoGP team must be rescue. Furthermore, give public money to banks isn't the best solution. On one hand, it's true that the money of people be lost but, on the other hand, banks are the main cause of the crisis and Spain's government do economic cuts to people. Why we should save Banks, but let fall other companies? Are they different?

News: Antoni Tàpies death

This news is about Antoni Tàpies death. It explains that Catalan government confirmed the Antoni Tàpies death. Tàpies, who had been in a poor health since 2007, was influenced by surrealists artists like Miró or Klee. Later, Tàpies developed his own style, using writings and numbers. He studied law and he created a magazine.
In my opinion, Antoni Tàpies death is a terrible loss to Catalonia because he represented our country in other places. I think he's one of the bests painters in the last century in this country. However, it's difficult for me understand what message Tàpies wants to transmit. In my opinion, the Tàpies paint which is on Palau de la Generalitat is the best of all Tàpies paints. It really represents Catalonia.

News: Facebook hit by technical problem across Europe

This news explains that last Wednesday, Facebook fall down for some technical problems in many European countries including UK and Russia. The technical problems have been present for two hours. Then, Facebook could solve the problems. Some people used other social networks as Twitter express they thoughts about these problems. As usually in Twitter, people wrote his thoughts in a humour way.
I think that social networks are a good way to communicate because they are quick and free. However these technologies, especially Facebook, have become addictive to people. Besides, the majority of people which use Facebook are very foscused in what the other people think about them.

News: Spain protests French TV's on ridicule on sports drugs

This news talks about the dispute between Spain and France caused by Canal + France. First of all, the news explains what did Canal +: some puppets imitated some Spanish athletes like Iker Casillas, Pau Gasol or Rafa Nadal. After that, the news explains the reactions from Spanish government. It says that Jose Manuel García Margalló, Spanish Foreign Minister, is disappointed with Canal + France. Also, the minister will sent a letter to French government. This videos were released the same week that TAS (Tribunal Arbitral du Sport) decided to punish Alberto Contador for two years.
In my opinion, Spanish government exaggerated the situation. Canal + France only wanted made laugh. Besides, I think Spanish public opinion is obsessed in sport. It's true that Spain is in a good moment in sports championships but Spanish people give to these championships more importance than other things like economy.

Breaking news: NBA lockout

Since last September, NBA (National Basketball Assotiation) is in lockout. This word in catalan means "tancament patronal". The owners are disagree with the collective agreement. They think that players win too much money and, logically, players say that the actual situation is good.
Both parts have negocied a few times with reunions of 12 hours but today we can say that is so far the NBA start. For this a lot of NBA players are coming to Europe. Rudy Fernandez (Dallas Mavericks) and Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunders) have gone to Real Madrid, Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs) has arrived to ASVEL Lyon, Thiago Splitter (San Antonio Spurs) have signed for Valencia and Andrei Kirilenko (Utah Jazz) has gone to CSKA Moscow. There are other players that left from NBA but         these are the most importants.
In my opinion, players and owners have to arrive to an agreement. Only for the public who wants to see the best baskeball of all the world. European basketball isn't the same that NBA because here there are a lot of leagues (country leagues) and a big competition (Euroleague). In USA this is different: there are only one championship with the bests teams of all times and this is what basketball fans is the best way to see basketball.

Breaking news: Bye Bye Berlusconi

This video explains the dimission of Silvio Berlusconi. It shows how italian people went to street to demand the dimission. When they know it, they celebrate the decision. A man say in the video that Berlusconi was the last dictator in Mediterrian sea.
I'm agree with Italian people who want that Berlusconi left. Althrough, they voted he a few years ago, so they must know who are voting for.
Now, the first minister Italian is Mario Monti, an important economist. He is the chosen because the economic situaction of the country is very bad. I'm disagree with this, because people must have the possibility to choose who governs us. Yes, maybe now for Italy (and Greece) it's good have economist on the goverment but they aren't chose for the people.
That's a good example to see that we are living an important historic period: democraticy's crisis. In this moment, I don't think people have the power of decide, the markets control us. We are living in a dictatorship of market!

Breaking news: Spain's Ghost Airport

This video explains the Ciudad Real airport case. Before 2007, when all the occidental world (include Spain) had money, was possible spend in big infrastructures (trains, airports, buldings...). Obiously, that's a good way to use money. Althrough, the airports and train stations were bulid in places that there aren't a lot of people. In my opinion this is for the famous "Cafe para todos" (Coffe for all).
The Ciudad Real's airoport is desertic. Any flying company wants use that place to put airplanes. The same happen with AVE stations: they are bulit in cities with a little number of people. I think that these money could be used to improve infrastuctures in places where there are more people. Durning spansih goverment had spent money in cases like Ciudad Real, now in 2011, AVE doesn't arrived to France (and now, with economical crisis will arrive more later).
When we got money we use it to do a lot of things that it seems that they are good, but when the bad times arrives, we see that these things aren't so good.
