News 1: Euroleague !!

Hello!
Today I'm going to talk to you about the match that Real Madrid and Olympiakos played yesterday, and also about the match between Panathinaikos and Montepaski. It was the quarters of Eruoleague. The winner will play the Final Four in Berlín.
Real Madrid 75 - Olympiakos 78
This is the result of the final match. The Greek team had alreaday won two other matches. Because of that, they will go to Berlin to play the Final Four. This, it was a match very difficult, the scoreboard was ajusted all the time. And finally, the Greeks ended up imposing.

Montepaski 84 - Panathinaikos 91
An other Greek team won yesterday. They also will go to Berlin, next to Olympiakos, CSKA and TAU or Berça. Panathinaikos won by 84-91. It was a very difficult match but the Greeks play better than italians players, and because of that they won.

Now, there three teams that are in the Final Four CSKA Moscu, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos. The other team are Barça or TAU, but they have to play an other match next Thursday because of the draw(2-2).
I'm very happy because the two Greek teams are in the final, I think that they are the best in Europe. Also I will be very happy if Barça win TAU, but if is not, I also be happy because it will be a spanish team in Berlin(1-3 May).

Almost a quarter of a milion children in Catalonia are living in poverty, a recent study reports. Study says that 1,3 million people are living below the poverty line. Of that number,240,000, are young people under the age of 16. This estadistic put Spain on the bottom of the list of the 15 original members of the European Union. A lot of immigrants that come from outside the E.U. are living in poverty.

In conclusion, we have to reduce this numbers,

Israel vs. Palestina

ISRAEL vs. PALESTINA

tv host: Hello everybody !!!! :):):)
In Middle East there are problems, and one of the most importants is the war between Israel and Paslestina. Today, here, tere is an israelian who will explain us what happen and how she defend her religion and her land. Hello Sarah!
Sarah: Hello Tim! Yes, it's true, we have a lot of problems but I think we are right. All our lives we had been discriminated and mistreated. Hitler and nazis began a genocide and the survivors had no place to go. I don't think that Israel has the militar power to kick the palestinans out of our land.
Tim: Ok. This is an israelians opinion about this issue. Now, we'll gonna hear a palestinian one!
Shiva: Hello Tim! Yes that's true, but we have the same problems that they have. Genocide is alsi familiar for us. Anyway, I undestand that you are angry that we are in Jerusalem too. But for both it represents our country, our promissed land and religious influences both sides. Both see Jerusalem like a holy place and everyone wants to defend what's for them . But I am sure that there us an alternative to resche the conflict.
Sarah: I agree with you that there's an alternative. But I think that Jewish people don't have any other place to go. We went to Europe and they killed all that they could. And because of that we decided to return to our promissed land and now palestinians wants to kich us out. And they have a lot of islamic countries to go, whereas we can't leave elsewhere.
Shiva: Yes that's true, but we were raced. We were born here it's also ower home!
Sarah: I do eather. But you also have to understand us. Yet you believe in the Coran so do we in the Torah. And it says that Yahvé promissed us a land and that was Jerusalem, and it still is.
Shiva: But Mahoma, when he ran away from Mecca he also talked about this our Jerusalem. Mecca is a place where we go for devotion, but Jerusalem is our home, a holy place for us eather.
Sarah: I know what you mean, of course. And you say it now, you have two or more holy places to go and we only have Jerusalem:our place and the one of our ancestores.
Shiva: But being your holy country and our's too. Don't you think it's possbile to live together in peace there? Respecting each other beliefs. In the end, Torah, Coran and Bible talk and predicts about respecting each other.
Sarah: I think that we can't live together in the same place. This isn't the solution for the problem. But I'm sure that we can find a solution but it will be really difficult because we are fighting for our believe, and the religious fights are very difficult to resolve.
Tim: And now the time is over. That was a really interesting discussion. Next week we'll continue . . .
