My school has current events quizzes, so I need to know 20 news events that happened over the summer. Please no celebrity news. Not to much sports, but some. Political is the best. Both national and international.


Answer
1. Ted Kennedy's death,

2.Michael Jackson's, even though you said no celebrity, that was big news.

3.The fact Jackson's doctor was giving him anesthesia in his house but no surgery, sorry, but news.

4.North Korea was threatening to shoot missiles at the US on the 4th of July, but didn't.

5.Swine flu is still around and has killed a few hundred people and they think it could come back.

6. President Obama's health care plan has not passed, many are for and against it.

7. St. Louis Cardinals are 9 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the National league Central Division (sorry but could not resist that)

8. A girl kidnapped 18 years ago was found today (August 27) and apparently had 2 kids by her kidnapper.

Sorry, that's all I can come up with. Good luck

Look in Wikipedia under 2009. They have a month by month review of the year. See if there is anything you can use. One big one I forgot was

9. the Air France crash in the Atlantic off Brazil

10. The collision of a plane and helicopter over the Hudson River, killing all on board both. Close to where the plane safely went down in January.

11. Protests about President Obama's health care plan, related to #6. Senators and Congressmen and women are being booed at Town Hall meetings.

Why was 7 News running an undercover investigation on David Campball anyway?
How long had they been following him? And isn't that a massive invasion of privacy?



Answer
If he was in the act of committing a crime. Then there is nothing wrong in having an undercover operation.

Using a government car for personal reasons, like it is alleged in this case.

Is obtaining property by deception.

The public has a right to know considering the public has paid for that car through taxes. Those taxes pay for those cars so politicians can get to and from business meetings and to and from parliament.

Not to go to gay sex bars.
