Diamonds aren't forever? De Beers to cut supply!

De beers believes that the use of diamonds shouldn't be as much as it is used right now. They say that the diamonds should be on protection because it is really to get them because they only find them on on Russia and Africa on their mines. Now the diamonds are 5% sold and on 2016 the 16% will be sold so they will try to maintain the diamonds over the next years. There price will increase so people don't buy them as much.

Ugranda's king turns 18
Ugranda has a teen king. He is turning, now 18 years old. He is among the world's younguest monarcks. He assended to the throne at the age of three, after his father died. As a minor, kingdom officials had adviced or helped him rule because of his age. Teen can now make major desitions on his own. This king feels turning 18, is a big responsability. He has a lot of support of his mother.

We think that it is great to have a young king. But, don't forget that he is a teen, he can't make desitions. It is good that he has all of good support to make better desitions.

11 dead in Italy train derailment!

Eleven people where killed in Italy when there was a train accident in Bolzano! 20 passengers where injured and 5 in really serious consequences. This train rail was inaugurated in 2005 and the accident happened because there was a broken irrigation pipe. The train lose control and went to crash to 2 tress near Adige River.

In my opinion this train rail should be more secure and need to be checked there status so accidents like this happens.

Dubai kissing couple face jail as appeal fails
A couple of tourists kissed themselves in public in Dubai. A law in Dubai is that people can't kiss themselves in public. They where caught kissing and touching themselves intimately. This couple have a 30 day to have the court decision that will be a month in the jail plus a $300 fines for drinking alcohol.
We think this is ridiculous because when you are in a relationship you demonstrate your love by kissing and hugging so this is very weird. This country should understand that this people are tourists they come from a different culture were people show there love in a physical way.
