Billie Eilish at the Grammys 

Billie Eilish made history Sunday the 26th of January at the Grammy Awards. She appeared stunned after her name was called for song of the year, and she mentioned that the other artists deserved to win. Eilish is the youngest person to win all four top Grammy awards in a single year and the first woman to do so.

I think that Billie Eilish is a very good singer and she deserves the Grammys Awards. For me, she is very modest and that is the difference of the other artists. It's very cool to support young artists and recompensate is work.

Kobe Bryant helicopter crash

This Sunday the 26th of January a terrible helicopter accident happens in Calabasas, California. Into the helicopter was Kobe Bryant, the famous player of basketball. Everyone was going to a basketball match at Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. The crash killed him, his daughter Gianna, a basketball coach named Christina Mauser, a baseball coach named John Altobelli, his wife Keri, his daughter Alyssa, mother Sarah Chester, her daughter Payton, and the pilot Ara Zobayan.

I'm not a fan of Kobe Bryant, but I like basketball and until he was a star of basketball, the accident is very tragic and I understand that is difficult for certain people to realise this.

Canberra Fires

On Friday, authorities in Australia´s capital city, Canberra, declared a state of emergency because of very serious fire conditions that are a threat to people´s lives and houses.
There has been warning that strong winds and rising temperatures could increase the danger of fire in Canberra and its surroundings. 

I think that all it's happened in Australia now it's the consequences of the climatic change. This is all because of humans, who do not know how to care for the planet Earth.
