What’s in my news?

Everyday things are happening in our lives and in the world

around us.

Some of these things are small events which only directly impact
us (e.g. a phone conversation you had with a relative who lives
abroad or a netball competition you competed in at the weekend.)

Others might be significant events which have a local, national or

global impact (such as Edgar Cheung winning a gold medal in
fencing at the Tokyo Olympics.)
