Welcome to the morning AA announcements. Good morning students, teachers and the staff of all of ISM. Welcome to another exciting day at the International School of Milan. I'm Alessandro and I'm here with my partner Andrea. That's right Alessandro, we've got a lot of important news and updates to share. So, let's get started. First off, a reminder to all students that the science fair is just around the corner. Make sure to submit your project ideas to your science teacher by the end of the week. And don't forget, the School Drama Club is hosting auditions for their upcoming play, The Enchanted Forest, this Friday after school in the auditorium. All aspiring actors and actresses, be there. And lastly, we would like to congratulate the ISM football team for their recent win. Way to go team! Wow, what a win. Little by little, Mr Wilson's team is gaining some points. Since now, Mr Wilson's tactics are working. But will they resist in their next matches? We hope so. Their win against the San Luis School was just something incredible. They were playing a football never seen before by all of the international school communities. Ok, that's it for now. Let's stop talking about football and let's switch the topic around. Let's talk about what's happening in the world right now. Right now, a war between Russia and Ukraine is happening. Let's talk about that instead. That's right. Now I will talk about a very delicate topic. The war that is happening in Ukraine. The spotlight has faded a lot in the last month on this topic. Precisely because another war has broken out between Israel and Palestine. And we are no longer talking about this one. But we will take care of it. Let's talk more about Russia. Specifically, Putin and how he is handling this situation. When you look at this war, you perceive calm on the side of Russia. A powerful country that is dominating the world little by little. Without spending too much energy. But they are hiding something from us. Just like that. Because Russia lost more than 500,000 men in this war. While in the war in Afghanistan, they lost the sum of 13,000 men. They are hiding something from us? The situation is very serious. Why is this being talked about less and less? What is going on? Time will tell. The strategy of Russia seems to be moving the attention on Palestine and Israel. To then attack or do something in silence. But as I said, time will tell. Yes, Andrew. Very strange in my opinion. Something is happening in secret. Some backroom deal or something. But as I said, whoever lives will see. Be careful not to put all the attention on this war. Also because the word peace does not seem to be allowed in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. There are now 146 Israeli hostages in Palestine in the hands of the Hamas. The ceasefire should allow only exchange accepted by Hamas. Hamas will release 50 hostages, innocent Israelis and I underline innocent. Ordinary people taken away by force. For these 50 innocent people, Israel will have to commit to freeing 150 Palestinian prisoners currently in their prison of state. For 50 innocent people, we will have to free 150 Palestinian criminals. This situation is way more than tragic. Bye guys and thank you for listening to our morning podcast.
