World News and my Views, January 2021.

 Dear readers, in this blog, we have written several posts about D.I.Y. articles that dealt with building works. Having done that, now we are writing posts about social issues. We have started with this post, Farming today is still a risky business, we want to talk about social issues that can affect all of us. We will continue with Australian social issues that we have already written in the past, when these things happened; then we will follow with what is happening these days. 

We believe that to continue and make sense, we should post what has happened since, and then link everything together. So, in this blog let us talk about, World news and my views, January 2021.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT JOE BIDEN

The world of politics goes up and down, today is Joe Biden turn to go up, and become the President of the USA for four years. We wish him good luck, he needs it because times are not stable, people most time take to the streets and demonstrate, let us hope that he can find a way how to keep them calm. Then there is also the corona virus to think about. 

THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

The outgoing President Donald Trump is a strong man, he has got his own ways how he sees and says things, most times he is right; the only mistakes I have seen him make, was that he ignored the corona virus pandemic. I believe that people would have been happier, if he had given more attention to the medical side of this disease, and how to control it, instead of ignoring it. 

World News and my Views, January 2021

Welcome to our article, World News and my Views, January 2021. 

Dear readers, I am writing this article sooner than I thought, because many things have happened, so, I would like to write them in my diary to keep my own record. There are 2 important things that continue to be on the news all the time, one is the COVID19, the other one is the political scene in America and Italy. But fist let us compare the COVID19.:

Anyhow, today is the 31^st of January 2021. About the corona virus, I believe that Australia is doing better than the rest of the world. In fact, not much has happened since last time, but let us note the difference.

Today the 31^st of January 2021, Australia has had, 28,806 cases positive and 909 deaths so far. If we compare this with last time it is only 500 more cases positive and one death.

Anyhow, yesterday there was this Australia day celebration, and a lot of people came together, let us hope that this event does not spread the COVID9 pandemic. Now, at this Australia day celebration, not everybody was celebrating, because the native aborigines were protesting, letting us know that this for them is invasion day, and they are not happy about it. So, this is another problem that the Australian people and the politicians need to solve. But let us go back to talk about the COVID19 in the world.    

It seems to me that the rest of the world, is still having trouble containing the COVID19 virus, as you can see from the following list.

The entire world has over, 102,500,000 confirmed positive, that is more than 20,000,000 people in a month, the death toll stands at 2,214,000 and growing. Now let us break it down a bit.

USA; 26,300,00 case positive and 445,000 deaths, compared to last month list of, 19,300,000 positive cases, is has increased by 7,000,000 case positive and 108,000 deaths compared to last time 337,000 deaths.

India; 10,790,000 positive and 154,000 deaths. But I must assume that there is something wrong here, because for the last few days their toll does not change. So, they may have stopped counting. 

Brazil; 9,100,000 positive cases and 224,000 deaths, compared with 7,500,000 positive cases and 191,000 deaths.

Mexico 1,840,000 positive cases and 156,000 deaths, compared with 1,377,000 positive cases and 122,000 deaths, a month ago. 

These are the 4 countries with most deaths.

Followed by the United Kingdom With 3,800,000 positive cases and over 106,000 deaths and growing fast.

And then Italy with, 2,500,000 positive cases and 88,500 deaths, and growing about 500 deaths every day. 

Anyhow, the vaccines have been made, and they have started vaccinating people. We all hope for a good outcome, because there seems to be a few problems there, there are a few reactions from the vaccine, and it is going to take a long time to vaccinate the entire world population. So, we must wait and see what will happen. Meanwhile let us look at political world news. Like what has been happening in USA, and then, what is happening in Italy today.

TALKING ABOUT THE USA PRESIDENTS.  

The world of politics is strange to say the least. Last time, when I wrote my diary here, we were worried that the outgoing President Donald Trump, was going to make troubles, before he would leave the White House, anyhow, he made it hard to a certain point, but then he left peacefully, even if his actions were strange, because he just left the White House before the new president was sworn in, he went anyhow. Now, we are all waiting what will be his next move, or what the democrats will do to impeach him, most likely nothing will happen.

But what is the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump political beliefs, and if their policies are good or bad for America and the entire world, because whatever America does, affects the entire world, at least the western world. So, let us look at what I believe their policies are, or in the case of Donald Trump were.

Now what I am saying here is my personal view, so, I might be wrong, but anyhow let me tell you, How I see this situation.

Four year ago, when Donald Trump became the president, I believe that America needed a president like him. You see, he wanted to make America great again, he wanted to stop the refugees come to America by thousands, and that is what America needed then. So, Donald Trump was the right man for the Job. Anyhow he did most of what he wanted to do, but that was not enough to convince the people to let him have another go. In a way I like Donald Trump and his earlier policies, what I did not like is when he tried to ignore the corona virus pandemic, and I believe that this is the reason why he lost, and he deserved to lose for that reason.

Anyhow, today things are changing, and again it seems to me that America has chosen the right man for the present time but will President Joe Biden rum himself in trouble later we do not know, we must wait and see. This is how I see the American situation today. Anyhow, we may say that the right man comes on the scene at the right time, and when that time is gone, they disappear.

The world of politics is strange, it goes up and down, sometimes for the right reasons, at other times it just happens. Today I am wondering how far Joe Biden is going to move away from Trump politics. I believe that every president has his good and bad sides, so, if Joe Biden thinks that everything President Trump has done is wrong, he is making a great mistake, because the reason Trump won last time was that the previous government was making mistakes too.

It would be wise to be more moderate and try to balance everything the best way you can. The weakest point of the democratic party is that they want to set everybody free, and they hope that everybody does the right thing by themselves. But most people need leadership, because without leadership the poor and less educated people become selfish, when they do, they want to rob the richer people that through their hard work have got something. So, a set of rules need to exist, and a set of law keeper need to be well organized, something that the democrats hate to do. Anyhow, that is just a way that I see them failing.

Now, let me talk about the Italian politics. 

     

The unsolvable Italian political scene. 

In Italy suddenly, the prime minister Giuseppe Conte resigned, because he did not have enough support to pass laws that were needed, to keep the country going. So, today they are trying to form a new government, ether with Giuseppe Conte again as prime minister or somebody else. In Italy there are many political parties and so many leaders, and when there is a large enough party, a group in this party is not satisfied with the rest of the party and they split. When one of these groups splits, if they were forming part of the government, the government may become a minority government and is unstable to govern, just like what has happened now.

You see, a former prime minister, Matteo Renzi has split from the DP and formed his own party, then he has withdrawn his support to the present government, so, the government cannot continue, they need to pass new laws and it cannot be done.

Anyhow, today the 30^th of January 2021, the Italian President Mattarella has said to the leader of the parliament Roberto Fico to call the party leaders and see if they can come up with an agreement how to form a new majority government. Which will be most likely with Giuseppe Conte as prime minister. So, we are all waiting what will happen.

So, I have been waiting for a better result, and that everything would be resolved, with Giuseppe Conte as prime minister again. But looks like that Matteo Renzi, did not like it and has made it hard for everybody, so, after consultations President Mattarella has called on Mario Draghi to see if he can find enough support if a different government can be formed, which form of government they can form I do not know, but they are trying. If they cannot form government soon, they have to go back to vote an early election.

Anyhow, I believe that this is going to take a while, and this article is already long enough, so, I am going to publish it the way it is. we will write something else when they have sorted these political problems.

See you soon.
