The Super Bowl is an annual event where two of the top National Football League (NFL). teams for the year compete to be the season’s champion. This year was the 51st Super Bowl and the two teams were the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots, with the latter of the two winning after going into overtime. It has become a tradition to have parties of all sizes on game day. Even if you’re not a football fan, most people participate anyways, whether it’s for the half time show (where there’s always a massive performance from some of the most famous people in the music industry – this year was Lady Gaga), for the iconic commercials, or just to eat food.

Most of the news is swarmed with updates about the game, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t newsworthy events in other parts of the world. Below are a few of the main things that happened over the weekend.
