Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 recently disappeared from radar and there has been zero trace of the missing aircraft despite a widespread search.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Bones", "Sons of Anarchy", "Boardwalk Empire", and "Once Upon a Time".
