STUNNED DRIVER FINDS 23 MIGRANTS IN HIS LORRY

A lorry load of migrants were found huddled together almost 200 miles from the main cross-Channel ports. Police including armed officers swarmed to the scene after getting a call from startled driver of the refrigerated vehicle. He had pulled into a service area off the M4 outside Chippenham, Wiltshire, and discovered the group of 23 shivering in the back.

The immigrants were given thermal blankets to keep warm as they waited to be taken to hospitals in Swindon and Southmead, Bristol. A total of 14 police vehicles and seven ambulances attended the incident yesterday afternoon. The immigrants were found in the back of a lorry owned by international shipping company Leatrans, based at Limerick City in Ireland. Their website says: “There are no limits on the type of cargo traffic we can handle.” Leatrans and Chippenham Pit Stop have been approached for comment. The ambulance service said that 23 freezing people who all appeared to be adults were found hiding in the back of the refrigerated lorry. A spokeswoman for the South West Ambulance Service said: “They were generally unwell, with injuries commensurate with being very cold.

This article was written by Britain first. Britain first is a un-accepting, inconsiderate political fascist group who want all Muslims to leave the UK. They are bigots and believe that the power of Christ is behind them, backing them up. This article may seem impartial and meerely delivering the facts but the subject matter in hand can create up roar. 

weekly news

A car bomb has exploded in the Turkish capital Ankara, killing 27 people and wounding another 75, 

The city governor's office has said. The explosion happened in Guvenpark in the Kizilay district, a key transport hub and commercial area. Several vehicles at the scene were reduced to burned-out wrecks, including at least one bus. Last month, a bomb attack on a military convoy in Ankara killed 28 people and wounded dozens more.  Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was reported to be convening an emergency security meeting. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been in Istanbul, was briefed on the attack by the interior minister, Hurriyet reported. Mr Erdogan was expected to return to Ankara later.

According to initial reports, 27 of our citizens were killed in a blast caused by a bomb-laden car at Kizilay's Guvenpark. It added that 23 people had died at the scene while four others died on their way to the hospital. The BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul says three attacks in the Turkish capital in less than six months show the multiple security threats that Turkey now faces. The country that was the stable corner of the Middle East and the West's crucial ally in a volatile region is now at a dangerous moment, he adds. Last month's bombing was claimed by a Kurdish militant group, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK). It said on its website that the attack was in retaliation for the policies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey, however, blamed a Syrian national who was a member of another Kurdish group. Last October, more than 100 people were killed in a double-suicide bombing at a Kurdish peace rally in Ankara.

I believe that this horrific event which has occured and the people behind this car bomb our behind the one earlier in the month. The people, driven to entertain the suspicion that these two bombs could be linked someway therefore maybe having a bigger reason to why they bombers are doing it.  

Weekly News

A boat carrying migrants from Turkey to Greece has sunk with the loss of 25 lives, Turkey's coast guard says. Fifteen people were rescued after the boat capsized near the Turkish resort of Didim. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says at least 321 migrants drowned trying to get to Greece between 1 January and 3 March.Reports suggest Macedonia has set new curbs on Syrian migrants trying to cross the land border from Greece.In another development, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that alliance ships would be deployed to Turkish and Greek territorial waters in the battle to defeat people smugglers.

More than 2,000 migrants, most of whom the IOM says are from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, are arriving into Greece from Turkey every day hoping to travel further north through Europe. But some EU countries re-imposed internal border controls and Macedonia sharply reduced the numbers allowed to cross, leading to a build-up on the Greek side of the border. On Sunday, reports from the border said Macedonia had stopped allowing entry to anyone from areas in Iraq and Syria it did not consider to be active conflict zones. As a result, anyone from Damascus or Baghdad is not allowed to pass. Babar Baloch, a spokesman for the UN's refugee agency, called the development "concerning".

On Saturday, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, governor of a northern border region, said the number of migrants on the frontier waiting to cross north into Macedonia had grown to at least 13,000. Mr Tzitzikostas called for a state of emergency to be imposed on the border that could facilitate the delivery of aid. An emergency summit will take place between the EU and Turkey on Monday to try to seek a common approach to handling the flow of arrivals. Last week, European Council President Donald Tusk said he had been told by the Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan that his country was ready to take back all migrants apprehended in Turkish waters.

I believe that if the UK has the power to be able to create a vote bombing Syria we should have a vote to save the lives in Syria for the crossing in the boats. Driven to entertain the suspicion that we should value their lives just as much as we value our families lives. 

Amy documentary was made 2015 July and was made during 2014 and 2015. It was directed by Asif Kapadia. Asif Kapadia also directed Senna and Uneternal City. The genre for this documentary is drama and biography. The themes of the documentary are music, music industry , soul, class relationship, drugs and industry. The documentary covers Amy's music from the beginning of her music life to her death. It contained mostly found footage of Amy"s music career.

The documentary has strong representation of the the traditional male. Amy's father could seems to be used in a negative way to represent the traditional male. Amy's father leaves her when she was very young and when he was together with Amy's mum he was having an affair. It represents the father in primitive male state when the male would constantly move on and on for his own gratifications. It represents Amy as a strong independent woman, making her way through the music industry and getting to the top but simultaneously it represents her as a victim and weak, the traditional female portrayal in the media. It represents the lower class as the scape goats for society's quams. It portrays them as always kicking up a fuss and seeking instant gratification with drugs, sex and petty crimes. Linking back to father of Amy's portrayal. Mitch Winehouse stated to the guardian newspaper "They are trying to portray me in the worst possible light". He thought it painted a terrible picture of who he was (the father). The film makers were not offended by this remark because they simply put found footage in and had an interview with him. Therefore it was father who painted a negative picture of him self.

Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released on 20 October 2003. Produced mainly by Salaam Remi, many songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, Winehouse co-wrote every song. The album received positive reviews. The album entered the upper levels of the UK album chart in 2004 when it was nominated for BRIT Awards in the categories of "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act." It went on to achieve platinum sales. Later in 2004, she and Remi won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song, for their first single together, "Stronger Than Me." The album was also shortlisted for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. In the same year, she performed at the Glastonbury Festival – Jazz world, the V Festival and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. After the release of the album, Winehouse commented that she was "only 80 percent behind album" because Island Records had overruled her preferences for the songs and mixes to be included

Winehouse died on 23 July 2011. On the week of 26 July 2011, Frank, Back to Black and the Back to Black EP re-entered the Billboard 200 at number 57, number 9 and number 152 respectively, with the album climbing to number 4 the following week. Back to Black also topped the Billboard Digital Albums chart on the same week and was the second best-seller at iTunes. "Rehab" re-entered and topped the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart as well, selling up to 38,000 more digital downloads. As of August 2011, "Back to Black" was the best-selling album in the UK in the twenty-first century.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, launched the Amy Winehouse Foundation with the goal of raising awareness and support for organisations that help vulnerable, young adults with problems such as addiction.

The introduction of a 5p charge for plastic bags in England has been blamed for a packaging firm going into administration.

Forty workers have been made redundant at Nelson Packaging's factory in Lancashire. Managing director Michael Flynn said it was mainly due to "the English bag legislation and corresponding impact on customer and retailer demand". He also blamed "aggressive overseas competition". The 5p charge for bags was introduced in England in October and followed the introduction of charges in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. One worker told BBC Radio Lancashire they believed the legislation had a "slight but not a massive impact" on the business, which has been operating since 1975 and was taken over by Cheshire-based packaging firm Intelipac three years ago.Union representative Robert Copeland, who had been with the firm since 1986, said staff were told last Wednesday that they were being made redundant and were told to leave the factory immediately.

"It's daunting as I have no interview skills. I'm 49 years old and I've got to now go into a new working environment and start again. It is scary.

"I was 19 when I started and… you were seeing the children of people you have been working with for 30 years starting to come through so you had parents and children

Honestly the 5p bag charge doesn't effect me in a very large way so I don't mind it. I think it's a way create money for companies. People who complain about it are usually the people who don't have enough money to afford bags. Which I have nothing against but it depends on who you are because lower class wage payed people.

More than 10 million people in India's capital are without water despite the army regaining control of its key water source after protests, officials say.

Keshav Chandra, head of Delhi's water board, told the BBC it would take "three to four days" before normal supplies resumed to affected areas. Jat community protesters demanding more government jobs seized the Munak canal, the city's main water source on Friday. Sixteen people have been killed and hundreds hurt in three days of riots.

Mr Chandra said that prior warnings meant that people had managed to save water, and tankers had been dispatched to affected areas of the city, but that this would not be enough to make up for the shortfall. Schools in the city were also closed after supplies from the canal were sabotaged during the protests. The army took control of parts of the canal on Monday morning, but repairs are expected to take time. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder who is near Delhi's border with neighboring Haryana state, said protesters who have set up road blocks are refusing to budge. "We don't trust them. Let's get something in writing. Let them spell it out," one demonstrator who refused to be named told the BBC.

Why are the Jats angry?

The land-owning Jat community is relatively affluent and has traditionally been seen as upper caste. They are mainly based in Haryana and seven other states in northern India. Comprising 27% of the voters in Haryana and dominating a third of the 90 state assembly seats, they are a politically influential community. Seven of the 10 chief ministers in Haryana have been Jats. The Jats are currently listed as upper caste but the demonstrators have been demanding inclusion in caste quotas for jobs and education opportunities that have been available to lower castes since 1991. In March 2014 the Congress-led national government said it would re-categorise Jats as Other Backward Castes (OBC), opening the way to government job quotas. But India's Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the Jats were not a backward community. As jobs have dried up in the private sector and farming incomes have declined, the community has demanded the reinstatement of their backward caste status to enable them to secure government jobs.

They are all aged between them ages. All of the characters throughout all of the series they're all aged between 16 to 23. Some how inevitably they are always ending up in trouble. they get involved with various criminal activities including taking drugs and disturbing the peace such as killing people and threatening people.

WORKING/ LOWER CLASS.
They are represented as scape goats for  people's quams and dilemmas. They are always blamed for various crimes they did not commit. Such as the first probation group leader is killed by the lightening storm and the group are scared that the authority will think it's them because it's easy to blame the lower class. Since they're doing community they are all considered working class.

STEREOTYPICAL FEMALE-
Alisha even before she gains her power of lust she uses the male gaze to her sexual desires. the first scene is them getting into their infamous orange costumes and we see the Alisha character in a pink bra and provocatively getting changed and looking at her self. She is sexualised is considerable amount and this related to how woman are viewed as victims and used for sex. Another example of this is when she is walking through the club touching boys as she walks through the club simultaneously all of the boys are looking at her.

David Cameron has called for an urgent rethink of the way the prison system in England and Wales treats pregnant women and mothers with babies.

Ministry of Justice figures suggest 100 babies spent time living with their mothers in prisons last year. The prime minister said it was "absolutely terrible" to think of infants spending time behind bars. Labour said Mr Cameron had made promises on prisons before but they were still violent and overcrowded. Mr Cameron, who is due to give a speech on prisons policy on Monday, said: "There are actually women in these prisons who were born in the same prison 20 years earlier, and then have ended up there later as criminals themselves.

"Think of the damage done to the life chances of these children."

'Break the cycle'

At present, when a woman gives birth while serving a custodial sentence, she is usually transferred to a prison's mother-and-baby unit (MBU) for an initial period. MBU policy requires that these units should be available to accommodate babies up until the age of 18 months.

Mr Cameron said:
"It's time to think seriously about whether this is the right approach.
"We've got to break this cycle."

The review will look at whether female offenders with babies could be dealt with by special problem-solving courts, housed in resettlement units or electronically tagged, rather than being locked up.

Downing Street said alternatives to custody would not be appropriate in every case and in some circumstances it could be in the best interests of the child for both mother and baby to be together in prison.

WEEKLY NEWS 

At least 10 witnesses have alleged sexual exploitation at an army barracks where a teenage recruit was found dead 20 years ago, it has been claimed. Pte Cheryl James, 18, from Denbighshire, was found with a bullet wound to her head at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey in 1995.Her father told the Telegraph witnesses "in double figures" claim they were exploited or recruits were ordered to have sex with other soldiers. A fresh inquest begins on Monday. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Pte Cheryl James."The inquest will now be a matter for the coroner, but we will of course continue to cooperate with and provide support to the coroner where needed."

Lawyers from human rights campaign group Liberty have asked the coroner, Brian Barker QC, to allow the new witnesses to give evidence and he is expected to make a decision on Monday. Des James's solicitor Emma Norton said: "We have made an application to the coroner to investigate evidence that has come to light that appears to suggest there might have been a system of ordering recruits to have sex with other staff. "We have had a witness come forward to say Cheryl herself disclosed to him that she had been ordered to have sex with another soldier. "With that evidence in mind, we wanted to say to the coroner 'look, anyone else who is suggesting a similar pattern of behaviour, you ought to hear from.'"

Pte James, from Llangollen, was one of four soldiers who died at the barracks between 1995 and 2002 amid claims of bullying and abuse. The new inquest was granted by the High Court in 2014 after the open verdict recorded at the original inquest in December 1995 was quashed.

Mr James, from Llanymynechm, Powys, has said he hopes the fresh hearing willuncover the truth about what happened to her. "I don't have a result in mind. I just want the truth," he told BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales Programme. "As long as the process is impeccable, as long as I can look back and say everything we could do, we've done, that's the important thing."

More than 100 people are due to give evidence when the inquest begins in Woking, Surrey.

Weekly News 

treacherous "christian" leaders in Luton cosy up to Muslims to condemn Britain first. 

This news article is from the monomaniacal self anointed bigots known as Britain first. I have recovered this of their facebook page.  

So-called “Christian leaders” in Luton have queued up to condemn Britain First after our Christian Patrol in the Bury Park area.  These “Christians” are gormless, trendy, politically correct, tree-hugging, sandal wearing hippies who only care about “multiculturalism”, appeasing Islam and publicizing themselves. Strangely for Christians, in the video below, they sign off with the Muslim “salam al kum” and they did not mention any of the violence, verbal abuse or claims of “taking over the UK” that were displayed by the Bury Park Muslims. When Anjem Choudary went to Luton, they were silent and nowhere to be seen. The Muslims call these useful idiots “Dhimmis”. Jews and Christians living under Muslim rule are considered “dhimmis”. God himself will judge these heretics and sell-outs when the time comes. 

now to give you some context on what happened.  Britain first is a group which opposes immigration in to Britain, although if you're from a western culture country and back ground you're fine, had a march in the town of Luton. The next day a vicar came out in front of the Bury park, where Britain first did their protest, with other priests and Muslims and stated how the members of Britain first use the Christian symbol , the cross, in a negative way. Britain first said how the priest cosied up to the Muslims. this is ridiculous! they are insinuating that the Muslims persuaded him to support for them. In the video he says  how he has come himself to show that these "so called Christians", Britain first, are bigots and un-fair.
I believe that Britain first is wrong in so many ways. 

Sandwell Hospital orders striking doctors to work

A hospital has ordered its junior doctors to work as thousands more strike across England. Sandwell Hospital in West Bromwich declared a "level 4" incident after a "very high" number of admissions. Medical director Dr Roger Stedman said the hospital had decided to require trainee doctors due on shift to attend as normal during the strike. The British Medical Association (BMA) said its members should continue with industrial action for the time being.

Junior doctors' strike: Live updates

In a statement, it said: "Junior doctors should continue with industrial action until NHS England has confirmed and the BMA has agreed - via the agreed escalation process - that a major unpredictable incident is taking place for a specific Trust. "The BMA will notify members as soon as such an incident is in place."

The hospital is run by Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust. It comes as the first strike by junior doctors in 40 years is under way in a row over a new contract. About 100 picket lines have been put in place, with a large concentration in and around London. Anne Rainsberry, national incident director for NHS England, said: "The local NHS is actively reviewing the situation to support the Trust. Nationally, we are continuing to work closely with our BMA colleagues to ensure patient safety."

The BBC has seen a letter sent to doctors in training from Dr Stedman dated 11 January which said: "Over the past few days there has been a surge in activity which has continued today.

If this was a major incident the trust has been facing as per the letter 'over the past few days' why wait until now?

Junior doctor

"There are over 50 additional adult beds open with further medical outliers in surgery.

"There have not been enough discharges today to accommodate patients requiring admission.

"Tomorrow we will be running Sandwell General Hospital site as a Trust internal incident with all medical teams working to increase the numbers of discharges.

"I have reviewed the situation this afternoon and I believe that given the situation and staffing levels, it would be unsafe to deliver care to all our in-patients with a reduced workforce tomorrow."

PM asks doctors to call off strike 

David Cameron has urged junior doctors to call of their planned strike action. 

He warned Tuesday's strike will cause "real difficulties for patients and potentially worse".The strike begins across England at 08:00 GMT, from when junior doctors will only provide emergency care.Talks between the doctors' union - the BMA - and NHS bosses continue. The BMA has said the strikes "demonstrated the strength of feeling amongst the profession".Issues being disputed by the BMA and NHS include weekend pay and whether there are appropriate safeguards in place to stop hospitals over-working doctors. 

Three strikes are set to take place from: 

• 08:00 Tuesday 12 January to 08:00 Wednesday 13 January (emergency care will be staffed) 
• 08:00 Tuesday 26 January to 08:00 Thursday 28 January (emergency care will be staffed) 
• 08:00 to 17:00 Wednesday 10 February (full walk-out) 

The Prime Minister called on medics "at the late stage" to get back around the table before the proposed walkout.He said: "This strike is not necessary, it will be damaging."We are doing everything we can to mitigate its effects but you can't have a strike on this scale in our NHS without their being some real difficulties for patients and potentially worse."NHS England estimates 1,425 inpatient operations and procedures will be cancelled as a result of the action along with 2,535 outpatient ones.It says everything possible is being done to provide safe emergency care and minimise the impact on patients.Anne Rainsberry, the NHS England director overseeing preparations, said: "We have tried and tested plans to deal with a range of disruptions including industrial action. As ever, the safety and care of patients is our top priority and the NHS has robust plans in place to ensure those who need emergency treatment will continue to receive it. "We have been working with hospitals and other NHS providers across the country to ensure we can continue to protect the safety of our patients and provide the urgent services they need. We will monitor the situation across the country to ensure these plans are in place, and are ready to respond to any significant increases in pressure in any region over the course of this dispute."

NARRATIVE

TECHNIQUES - IN MOVING IMAGE 

• manipulation of time and space
• split screen narratives- The screen splits in to sections and has mini narratives in each of them. 
• Three strand narrative-  but three plots are introduced at the B of the TV show and they interview as the plot develops. Some plot lines go in to the next episode. 
•  Flexi- narrative- Complex narrative structure with layers of interweaving narrative. - keeps the audience intrigued 

CONVENTIONS - IN MOVING TEXTS 

• Flashbacks- used to give the audience additional information to further the development in the narrative. 
• Point of View shots (POV) - allows the audience to see from a character's perspective 
• apparently impossible shots- Where the camera gives the action from an unusual spot. (in the air or behind the wall) 
• Privileged spectator position- camera places the audience in a superior position. Shows aspects which other characters can not see. (can create dramatic irony) 
• Enigma codes- camera only shows some of the narrative (used in trailers a lot) 
• Voice over- gives, fills in, promises information  (used in trailers a lot as well) 

GENRE

• Narrative
• - the plot/ story arc is how a story is told. all media texts convey information in a formulaic structure.

1.  This may be a linear structure comprising a B, M and an End. or it could a non- linear structure or circular structure.
2. certain genres have predictable narratives and plot situations. 

This is a very general and basic narrative structure
 Typical narrative structure is often broken down in this way: 

1. Opening: establishes setting and introduces character
2. Build up: Relationships established. Development of characters and their world
3. Problem: a dilemma or series of complications.  Characters are faced with an obstacle to overcome a mystery to solve, or often more than one
4. Events: a series of events/action as characters try to overcome obstacle, solve problem, discover truth and so on.  Further complications may arise in the process
5. Resolution: the protagonists are victorious, problems are solved, truth revealed
6. Ending: characters reflect on events, reinstate relationships and look forward.

• Characters
•  most genres have recognizable characters, known as stock characters , for example the rebellious teenager in a soap opera. 

1. audiences become used to specific character in a specific genre and can then predict what the character is going to do in any situation. 
2. It can also be related with the actor. Some actors are associated with specific genres. Bruce Willis - action genre. 

• setting and iconography
• objects or certain props used by characters may become specific to the genre. clothing is also a rapid way to communicating to an audience. 
• This can also apply to a certain setting and location. If there was an establishing shot of a hospital the audience now knows where the film is taking place. 

Technical Codes  

• These are very important in establishing a genre. some genre have a particular way of filming and will use certain camera shots and editing. E.G- fast paced editing and with rapid cuts is conventional in action films.
