Well, this is what has been happening in the rest of the world this week:

GOOD WEEK FOR:

• Christians in Italy, after a huge new church opened in the south of Italy almost 10 years after construction began. The church can seat 6,500 people and 30,000 can be accommodated in the square outside.
• The Guinness World Records book, which celebrated the release of its 100 millionth copy at a party in London. At the party was the UK’s tallest man, 59-year-old Charles Greener, standing at 2.32 m (19cm shorter than the world’s tallest woman). Also present was Paul Hunn who holds the record for the loudest burp!
• Skiers, with the opening of Europe's longest chair lift on a glacier in Zermatt, southern Switzerland. The lift runs for 2580 metres.
• A 21-year-old policeman, who dressed as a high-school girl in uniform (including a miniskirt) in order to trap a flasher in Japan.
• Weddings in India, with the news that 12,000 couples, taking advantage of an auspicious date for weddings, will get married on 27 November in New Delhi.
• Skynet Asia Airways, in Japan, which is launching flights with all-male cabin attendants in order to attract female passengers. Wearing bow ties, the cabin attendants will introduce themselves to customers and offer to take pictures with them in addition to providing normal drink services.

BAD WEEK FOR:

• Liberation in Greece, after the country’s TV regulator fined a private channel 100,000 euros for "corruption of public morals" over a TV programme that included a kiss between two men. In classical Greek art and literature, love between men was a common theme. However, in modern-day Greece, public discussions on homosexuality are rare.
• A German taxi driver; robbers left the man glued to his steering wheel before running off with 300 euros. After the 31-year-old drove the men to a village near the eastern city of Dresden they threatened him with a gun, glued his hands to the wheel and escaped with the money.
• Villagers in Fiji, who wept as they apologised to descendants of a British missionary killed and eaten by their ancestors more than 130 years ago. Cannibals killed Reverend Thomas Baker in 1867 and ate him after a perceived slight against the village chief, even boiling his leather boots with the local vegetable, bele. Cannibalism was widespread in Fiji, with human flesh described as "long pig".
• The Brazilian woman with the most body piercings in the world (1,903); Elaine Davidson, living in Scotland, says she is afraid to return to her native Brazil as she would attract so much attention she could be robbed. "I like pain, I love pain," she said, explaining that she now wants to exceed 2,000 body piercings.
• Mitoyo Kawate, reputed to be the world's oldest person, who has died in Japan at the age of 114 less than two weeks after taking over the title from another Japanese woman.
• Children in rugby-mad New Zealand, who are turning up to school tired and grumpy after staying up until the early hours of the morning to watch on TV the rugby World Cup in Australia.
• A woman, who is suing a US restaurant chain in California after finding a condom in her soup! The restaurant manager seized the condom, which the women claim was possibly used. "I went through hell," the woman said, adding that she had lost her appetite for sex and food, lost about 4.5 kilograms and suffered psychological trauma requiring a year of counselling and medication for depression and anxiety.
• A Turkish woman, who locked her rich husband naked in the bathroom for three years claiming he was mentally disturbed. Orhan Babutcu, 41, was found naked and traumatised sitting on the shower tiles next to the toilet, with a bowl on the floor for his food. The woman, who said it was obvious her husband was mad because he took three showers a day, added she was going to seek a divorce after 15 years of marriage. "Her goal was to make me sick so that I die and she inherits my fortune," said the husband, adding that his wife had been living it up with other men while he was locked in the bathroom.

OK, that is the news for another week. Now here are the answers to last week’s homework.
