 On Tuesday night,The Tonight Show posted a video of Monday's guest, Adele, singing her hit song  “Hello” in a small greenroom with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, using nothing but classroom instruments. 

ENJOY!

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

To go over everything

They say that time's supposed to heal ya

But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger and free

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry

For everything that I've done

But when I call you never

Seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry

For breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly

Doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

I hope that you're well

Did you ever make it out of that town

Where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret

That the both of us

Are running out of time

So hello from the other side (other side)

I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry

For everything that I've done

But when I call you never

Seem to be home

Hello from the outside (outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry

For breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly

Doesn't tear you apart anymore

Ooooohh, anymore

Ooooohh, anymore

Ooooohh, anymore

Anymore

Hello from the other side (other side)

I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry

For everything that I've done

But when I call you never

Seem to be home

Hello from the outside (outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry

For breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly

Doesn't tear you apart anymore

Welcome to Happiness: Bye Bye Ebola

In 2014, the worst outbreak (=brote)  of Ebola in history hit Sierra Leone hard and thousands have died from the virus. The already weak health system could not cope with the impact of the outbreak.

What better way to celebrate a nation’s comeback from the grips of a terrible disease than with a dance move that went viral? 

Remixing Afrobeat anthem ‘Azonto,’ Block Jones and Freetown Uncut have got Sierra Leoneans back on their feet to celebrate life as an ebola-free nation. Watch schoolchildren, health care workers, faith leaders and people all across the country dance away in this video that will definitely bring a smile to your face. 

And now that Guinea’s last known ebola patient has recovered, there’s even more reason to hope for an ebola-free world by 2016.

Syrian Refugees: A Humane Thing.

Dutch volunteer Darcia explains why she's helping refugee families landing on shores of Lesvos, Greece

yv

Ms. Fleur has travelled from the Netherlands to this Greek island near the coast of Turkey as a volunteer to help mothers and their children. The founder and CEO of The Urban Baby Wearer, she came here with the intent of giving away (and instructing mothers on how to use) specialized baby carriers in which the mothers wear their babies against their bodies. But the huge demand for basic services means Fleur spends her days doing everything from walking into the sea and carrying babies off the incoming rafts to fetching water and blankets.

“Yesterday I had a baby of five days old in my hands,” she says. “It came in a life jacket. Somebody handed me a life jacket and I was like, ‘Why am I getting a life jacket?’ And I looked inside, and inside was a five-day-old baby.”

GIVE AWAY = DONAR
BABY CARRIER = MOCHILA PORTA-BEBÉS
INCOMING = ENTRANTE
RAFTS = BALSAS
FETCH = IR A BUSCAR
BLANKET = MANTA
LIFE JACKET = CHALECO SALVAVIDAS

Wait and see

On this day, more than 40 boats arrive on the island. Each raft carries roughly 50 people, each who paid a smuggler approximately US$1,300 to make the short but sometimes dangerous trip from Turkey to Greece.

“I’m a mom, so what inspired me is to see other moms in need,” she says. “Because if I’m fleeing a war, with a child, I hope there is another mom saying, ‘OK, let me help you.’”

ROUGHLY = APROXIMADAMENTE
SMUGGLER = CONTRABANDISTA, TRAFICANTE
IN NEED = EN NECESIDAD
FLEE = HUIR

(...)

“I don’t see myself as doing something special,” Fleur says. She’s been here only four days and will be leaving soon. “I think we’re just doing a humane thing. That’s why I’m coming back. It feels like it’s not done.”

Turkey's Deadliest Attack in its Modern History

Two suicide bombers are believed to have caused the blasts near the city's main train station, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a televised address to the nation

The atrocity is the deadliest single terrorist attack on Turkish soil and has happened at a politically sensitive time, just three weeks before national elections.

(CNN)Though no group has claimed responsibility for the deadly weekend bombings in Ankara, the focus of the investigation is the Islamic extremist group ISIS, Turkey's Prime Minister said Monday.

Two suicide bombers are believed to have carried out Saturday's attack near Ankara's main train station, killing at least 97 people and wounding nearly 250 others, Turkey has said.
