As Rwanda prepares to host the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in June, it is walking a tightrope due to the prolonged impact of the pandemic as well as increasing pressure to improve its human rights record.
queen elizabeth set to miss a big meeting of former british colonies. she is going to sit out what she calls commonwealth meeting which will take place mid november. elizabeth is 87. skipping the get together seen as the effort to reduce long-range travel. last time she missed the commonwealth meeting was 1971. 87, she could ratchet it down. okay to miss one or two meetings. i think so. now, to a story that had plenty of people buzzing in the dorchester neighborhood of boston. that is buzzing because of the amount of bees found hanging out on the back of a yellow car. brave people got closer. one guy brought bee repellant. used it. a bad idea. unfortunately didn t work very well. i sprayed the whole back of the trunk. and i sprayed, and in my crib too, right there. sprayed there, the floor, the air. these are nonaggressive honey bees. they are homeless. they are full. just ate a lot of honey.
