Hello everybody!

Even if the weather is not on top, I am pleased to get in touch with you.

As agreed, we will have an overview today on the latest news of the week in English, of course! As my target is not to cover the same topics as those we regularly hear on TV, radio, I would like to point out some of the main pieces of news and some unofficial information we can only find on websites. That is an original way to make sad news disappear and enjoy life... Smile and let all the colours of the rainbow come into your life.

Well, as it is the first time I have to practise such an exercise, I have decided to select ten news sites and draw your attention on different news as follows:
