Major fire at Russia arms depot

Although President Barack Obama is now in Japan, there is no interesting news for me today, so I chose thissChinese people display on new year by the lunar calender, and it also seems like a scene of movie such as Godzilla. Unfortunately, it is reported that at least two people were killed, but I think the fatality may have increased if people near there could not evacuate to a shelter. Anyway, this news will not be able to be known to me, unless I check the BBC news site. I think Seeing BBC website makes us easy to know many kinds of news all over the world, although today there is no good article and nothing to write.

Toyota withdraws from Formula 1

Although the latter half of the season was not so strong, Jenson Button in Brown GP won a world championship of Formula 1 in 2009. It was his first time to be a champion, so I think it is a good subject. However, now there were some bad subjects about this world. Last year, Honda pulled out from the sports, and this year, BMW decided to withdrawn. In addition, recently Bridgestone which is Japanese big tyre firm also decided to withdrawn in 2010 and even the world largest car manufacturer Toyota said good-bye to F1. Toyota have took part in the race for 8 years, but in the end, they could not be on the top of the podium. It is certain that world severe economic situation had a big effect on these decisions, so I think that we have to accept these pity decisions. Battling in the F1 costs much money and the team which lose the battle have to pull out.... I think its competition is much severer than normal business situations.

Elections test US voters' mood

In the US, many people notice the next poles to choose governors in
New Jersey and Virginia because it can be a first test for the Democrats after president Obama was in position. Obama's popularity was too high and he was too much expected when he was elected, so I think now is the hardest time for him and his party. They must not drive people to despair, and on the other hand, Republicans have to regain. (Same thing can be said in recent political situation in Japan.) Some people say these are just local races and there's 18,000 lifetimes between now and next November when mid-term ballots will be held. Of course it is true, and local results may not be the same as the result of whole country because America is large and opinions are different. However I think now is the most important time for Obama presidency, so they have to take a grip on themselves and try to turn the table on Republicans in local races.
