Israel and Iran's Tiff: Mr. Bean's Guide to Missiles, Frisbees, and a Very Cross Mr. Trump

Boom! Bang! Ceasefire?

Right then! So these countries Israel and Iran they've been having a bit of a barney. You know like when I try to make a sandwich and end up with more food on my face than in my tummy. Apparently there were missiles involved! Missiles! Can you imagine using those to settle an argument? I prefer a good stare off myself. Works every time...unless someone brings out a water pistol. Anyway they stopped sort of and everyone's saying it's a 'ceasefire.' Sounds like a very fancy word for 'time out,' if you ask me. Teddy agrees.

Mr. Trump's Not Happy (Again!)

Now Mr. Trump he's not very pleased. A bit like when I find someone's parked in my parking spot. Apparently they promised to be good and then they weren't! Tsk tsk. Mr. Trump's gone all cross about it like when I try to make a cup of tea and end up flooding the kitchen. He even said he's 'not happy'! Someone get him a biscuit and a nice cup of tea stat!

Frisbees and Fancy Planes

But here's the good news! People are playing frisbee on the beach in Israel! Frisbee! Now that's what I call a good use of a sunny day. And the planes are flying again apparently. So less boom boom more zoom zoom hopefully. Though I'm sure I could find a way to cause chaos at an airport. Don't tempt me.

The Curious Case of the Not So Destroyed Nuclear Sites

Oh and there's something about nuclear sites still being a bit... intact. Like when I try to fix something and end up making it worse. Mr. Trump says they're 'COMPLETELY DESTROYED!' in capital letters which means he's very serious. Or maybe just a bit loud. Who knows? All a bit confusing if you ask me I just hope they are destroyed! Nobody wants another of my sandwich incidents.

Money Money Money! (Aha!)

The markets are all jolly though because they think everything's going to be alright. It's like when I find a pound coin down the back of the sofa! Stocks are jumping oil prices are wobbling and someone's talking about the yuan. Sounds like a new type of noodle! But if the stock markets were to crash... I wouldn't want to be holding my rubber chicken!

Trade and Globalization (Whatever That Means!)

And finally some chap called Li Qiang is saying not to make trade all political. Sounds sensible but I'm not entirely sure what he means. I'm more worried about whether I can get a discount on my baked beans. Now that *is* important! Time for a nap I think. It's exhausting this world news business. Wake me up when they start talking about cake.
