“Liu Han, ex-head of mining conglomeration Sichuan Hanlong Group is standing trial with his brother and 34 others”

“The trial comes amid a corruption crack down by President Xi-Jinping”

“The Liu brothers are charged with 15 crimes including murder, assault and illegal detention”

“The gang has been active since 1993 and is being charged with nine murders”

“Chinese state media has said the Sichuan based gang has strong political ties”

“They played a role in Liu Han’s appointment as a delegate in Sichuan’s political advisory body”

“In recent months several top officials from the Sichuan province have come under scrutiny where corruption is the main crime”

“The Party led by President Xi-Jinping is strongly trying to eradicate the corrupt aspect that has invaded their party and their politics”

“Many top officials are being removed as a result of their crimes, which has brought shame on the Party”

“The Chinese people themselves are voicing their strong objections and so tough action is now being dealt with”

“This kind of culture cannot be allowed to continue if the Chinese Communist party are to survive and to have any form of credibility”

“See more high ranking officials come under extensive fire. Their days are also numbered”

“Finally Switzerland’s Competition Commission is investigating manipulation of foreign exchange rates at several British and Swiss banks”

“They are RBS, Barclays, UBS, Credit Suisse, Zuercher Kantonal Bank, Julius Baer, JP Morgan and Citigroup”

“Evidence supports the banks colluded to manipulate exchange rates in foreign currency trades”

“The regulator, which opened up preliminary investigations last October, shows that the most important exchange rates are affected”

“Authorities worldwide are investigating these same foreign exchange traders”

“They colluded in setting key exchange rates in the foreign exchange market. This resulted in huge profits”

“Traders from different countries worked together to influence currency prices”

“They also failed to accurately represent to their customers how they determined those prices”

“It has now been said by the Financial Conduct Authority that currency manipulation was every bit as bad as the Libor Scandal”

“Those banks who were involved in the Libor Scandal have paid $6bn in fines, which is nothing to the profits they already made”

“Fines are not enough. They are not severe enough to act as a deterrent”

“It is now time for the law to be introduced where these banks are brought before the courts”

“Criminal sentences are required for all those who are responsible for this kind of activity”

“At this time it is all too little too late”

“However these banks still think they are above the law, which includes their traders who continue to practice in this manner”

“More of these practices are being exposed and so situations will have to change”

“The public will no longer put up with what they see as carte blanche by these operatives who flagrantly flaunt the law for huge profits””

“Brazilian security forces have moved into a slum near Rio Airport as part of efforts to drive out drug gangs”

“They need to do this before this year’s football World Cup”

“The vast Mare favela is considered to be one of the most dangerous drug-trafficking areas in the city”

“Authorities have been carrying out a slum pacification programme aimed at making the city safer”

“It is also because of the 2016 Olympics, which is a concern for the Government”

“In this recent raid large quantities of weapons were seized”

“The raid, which began before dawn, with more than 1000 police and backed by soldiers and armoured vehicles took up position in Mare”

“This shanty town, the largest, is close to Rio’s International airport and home to 130,000 residents”

“The entire area was occupied within 15minutes and large quantities of drugs and weapons were seized”

“What’s so tragic is that it takes the World Cup & Olympic Games to bring the plight of drug gangs & disgusting shanty towns to the attention”

“Whereby something is now being sorted out, where before nothing had been done”

“It is high time that the people of Brazil felt safe themselves against these drug and rival gangs operating in their own country”

“The Government needs to do more, not just as a short term fix due to the World Cup and Olympic games”

“The people themselves deserved more and should be getting more as their own right. That is what they pay their taxes for!”

“There will be more pacification programmes to sort out"

“Many shanty towns have been allowed to establish themselves without the right amenities

“The people will see improvements, but they will need to carry on so that the Brazilian people can finally benefit

“This must not be allowed to be a short stop wonder”

“Negotiators have worked through the night in Yokohama to complete a review on a key report on the impacts of Climate Change”

“A detailed 29 page summery is detailing the effects of Climate Change on the planet over the next 100 years”

“Several hundred members of the UN’s Climate Panel have been in deep deliberations since last Tuesday”

“The report is the first assessment since 2007”

“This report is the second of three analyses developed by international teams of researchers”

“The first part published last September details the mechanics of Climate Change”

“Explaining the mechanics of Climate Change rests unequivocally that humans are behind it”

“The new document details the impacts and the vulnerabilities to the rising temperature that will face the world”

“Two chapters are detailing impacts on the oceans and human health and food security”

“The document focusses on things that can be done to reduce the risks.  The impacts on Climate Change are “widespread and consequential””

“With melting glaciers and tree mortality, when just 1ºC+ is reached, causes extreme weather events, such as with heat waves and flooding”

“Agriculture is affected in severe drought conditions. Flood risks to people living in Asia are particularly vulnerable”

“Human health is affected with increase mortalities where heat waves occur”

“Oceans are becoming more acidic, destroying the coral reefs”

“People who depend on fish for their protein will have to look for other means as the fish will be fewer as a result of acidity”

“All over the world, in every continent, there are either impacts on agriculture, wildfires or floods”

“Sea levels rises and also a lack of water, crop changes and melting ice will occur”

“All these have enormous effects on the land and the sea”

“This report shows the areas that are most at risk and what can be done about reducing those risks when steps are taken”

“Climate Change shows a number of the threats facing the people all over the world, both now and in the future”

“Once we begin to understand the challenges we can start to manage the risks it becomes a tractable solution”

“We all must play our part in bringing these changes in to save not only humans and animals, but our planet as well!”

“As we all enter a phase of dissatisfaction in our lives, we all must proceed to bring in the necessary changes”

“Then we are able to restore peace and balance”

“When a person has been harmed or unjustly treated, it is our responsibility to voice our displeasure”

“To hide it often gives off the wrong signals inviting that person or those beings to continue doing it”

“Unless we start to openly discuss our feelings, how are we ever going to change the world into becoming a better more balanced place?”

“Now, as the Universal energies are all heightened, it is our personal duty to rid ourselves of everything that is negative”

“Then we can enter a stage of productivity and positive acclaim”

“We can no longer dillydally, but need to act swiftly and decisively to effect change and to restore harmony when it finally comes to us”

“There are many solutions to many problems. All we need to do is to find out the right ones that suit ourselves”

“Once that has been agreed, then the action becomes a normality and everything is swiftly acquired”

“In seeking a better life, one must get rid of the old and to strive forwards with gusto to get to another”

“Nothing is difficult once we have thought out the solution”

“These solutions usually come from the Higher Intelligence, who is waiting for us to access it”

“Then the request is received and the appropriate answer is given”

“Many of us are stuck in our lives purely because they cannot see a way out”

“By meditating on the problem, the solutions will always present themselves with the motivation to get things done”

“From there on, the way is easy and help is always given and the rewards are accepted”

“Know we are all looked after and nothing is by chance!”

“Laws banning smoking in public places have had a positive impact on child health, an international study in the Lancet suggests”

“Researchers also found a 10% reduction in premature births and severe childhood asthma within a year of smoke-free laws being introduced”

“Laws that prohibit smoking in public places, such as bars, restaurants and work places have already shown…”

“…that they protect adults from the dangers of passive smoking”

“This research has gone into 2.5 million births and 250,000 hospital attendances for asthma attacks in children”

“The study now provides clear evidence that smoking bans have had considerable public health benefits for perinatal and child health”

“There has also been a 5% decline in children being born very small for their age”

“There are still many countries yet to enforce smoke-free legislation”

“This research shows that passive smoking causes thickening of children’s arteries”

“It can also increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes in later life”

“It is the children who are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of second hand smoke”

“This is because their lungs and immune systems are still developing”

“At present it is only 16% of the world’s population who are covered by smoke-free laws”

“Scotland, where the ban was first introduced in 2006, has shown that adult’s and children’s health have improved”

“Where pregnant mothers smoke, it has had a profound bearing on the foetal development”

“Babies are born smaller and have underdeveloped lung capacity”

“It is in all our interests to encourage the population of this world to remove smoking as a right to have”

“The long term effects on health issues are not only on children who passively smoke, but on the adults who do”

“Life did exist before smoking and although it has been going on for centuries, we are all better educated now”

“If we are all to enjoy healthy lives, then consideration to ban this substance from where it can harm us is surely advisable?”

“The distress that comes when one sees a child literally fighting for its breath is both distressing to the child and the adults too”

“It is not only smoking where we have to become more responsible, but where there’s pollution on other levels, such as from cars and industry”

“Even smoke from cooking stoves, where all the family breathe in these fumes, is also a major hazard”

“Now technology has developed new stoves at little cost, these too will help massively in getting people better”

“The more consciously aware we all become the healthy and happier will be our race!”

“A man who has been on death row for more than four decades has been granted a retrial by a Japanese court”

“Mr Hakamada, 78 years old, was sentenced to death in 1968 for killing his boss and his boss’s wife and two children”

“Hakamada confessed after 20 days of interrogation, which involved him being beaten, but once in court he retracted his confession”

“Japanese police traditionally rely on confessions to prosecute, which are obtained by force”

“Amnesty International said Hakamada is the longest serving inmate on death row”

“There have been many unanswered questions over recent DNA evidence”

“The court ruling came after defence lawyers showed the DNA from blood stains found on the clothing…”

“…alleged to have been worn by the killer did not match Hakamada”

“The judge has ordered his release saying it is unjust to detain this man further. The evidence of his innocence has become clear”

“Hakamada’s sister Hideko, who is 81 years old, has fought bravely for a retrial for many years. She expresses her thanks to all who helped”

“Human Rights groups have cited long hours of interrogation, lack of access to lawyers and physical mistreatment are the reasons…”

“…why suspects end up confessing to crimes they did not commit”

“The shame has to fall on the Japanese Police force, as their form of justice does not come up to scrutiny”

“Innocent people are given jail sentences when the real killers still go free!”

“Until there is a superior standard of policing, all the Japanese people are vulnerable to this kind of abuse. What a justice system!”

“A man’s life has been sacrificed and who knows how many more from this kind of sharp practice”

“What kind of compensation does he get from the police not doing their jobs, but acting out of complete thuggery?”

“He has lost his life and liberty and shame should fall on those who acted wrongly. Perhaps their heads should roll?”

“Mr Ban’s work includes the magnificent paper cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand, after an earthquake struck & demolished the main tower”

“The earthquake hit in February 2011 and resulted in 185 deaths, including 28 Japanese nationals who also lost their lives”

“A Japanese team helped in the international rescue, but were later called back to deal with their own triple disaster”

“A New Zealand team soon followed to give the Japan assistance in their rescue”

“This combined effort has brought the two countries closer together”

“Mr Ban offered to carry out the design on New Zealand’s Cathedral at no cost”

“Although the structure was initially intended to be temporary, the congregations’ approval was so great that it will become permanent”

“The tower, which was destroyed, comprises of an entire wall of coloured glass”

“The Pritzker prize is architecture’s top prize”

“Mr Ban’s commitment to humanitarian causes is an example to us all,” said the judges”

“Mr Ban has spent two decades travelling the world to help design ‘low cost’, but dignified housing for people who are in disaster zones”

“These so far include Japan, Rwanda, India, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Italy and he is currently in the Philippines”

“In his modest way he feels that he must be careful as he honours this prize, but for him it has come too early”

“He appreciates it and knows it will spur him on to do even more and to allow his skills to grow”

“To hear of such a good man doing his bit, where there is so much misery through natural disasters, is something that is rare these days”

“In China, where coal is used extensively in their manufacturing industries, the people are suffering smog’s on unprecedented levels”

“Coal carries toxic metals, which are absorbed into the body”

“China has said it will take them 20 years to clean up their air”

“Until then the people continue to suffer with debilitating diseases”

“What was interesting during the Olympic Games in Beijing was that all the factories were closed and traffic was held down to a minimum”

“As a result Beijing enjoyed 30 days of clear air and saw blue skies”

“Once the Games were over the pollution reverted to normal, which was unforgivable, with the population having to wear face masks”

“We all owe it to the people of the world to lobby Governments to do more to clean up the air we breathe”

“Where there are polluting countries, the bad air is transferred by winds to neighbouring countries”

“These countries do their responsible bit and yet are infected by those who do not”

“This by International Law cannot be allowed and new policies to put pressure on high pollutant countries must be addressed”

“This is necessary for the welfare of the entire world”

“Remember it is not only humans who are affected by this pollution”

“Animals, crops, land and the seas are all being polluted and all need not to be at risk!”

“This affects us all!”

“Various parties are only interested in their own agenda and feel nothing for the people who suffer turmoil every day”

“Many throughout the world are both physically and psychologically scarred”

“They feel nobody cares and many are left to their own devices to try to live in a world of complete chaos and unrest”

“The Middle East is a hotbed of uncertainty and raw emotion, where the daily angst takes over”

“Just to survive and hope they won’t get killed is a major challenge”

“There needs to be a complete change of the mind-set, where countries start to deal with the injustices to the many victims of this world”

“Their anger and hate are fuelled on the back of revenge”

“Their human rights are not being recognised and hope and salvation are but a far off dream”

“The people, although suffering, have now reached an impasse where their lives are already worthless and meaningless in their eyes”

“They see their Governments are full of corruption and self-interest”

“It is these people who have nothing to lose who are the most dangerous and will be the ones who are most to be feared”

“Their meaningless lives mean they have no life and to lose it means nothing to them anymore”

“All around them has been destroyed”

“Any decency that they might once have had has been wiped out by the horror of what has already befallen them”

“It is this body of people who will rise up and, like the French Revolution of 1789-1799, will determine the outcome”

“There is a need now for proper democracy, for citizenship and people’s undeniable rights”

“There is now a quest by the people of this world to tear down the structure of the old ways”

“They need to bring in a new structure, where the people are valued”

“Fear is no longer a daily occurrence”

“The lives of the innocent are protected against the oppressors and where legal justice on every aspect is seen to be done”

“Those who will not abide by these basic human rights will see their rule coming to its end”

“It will be the people who have lost everything, who now will rise up and have their revenge”

“The world had better wake up before it is too late”

“Man cannot be subjected to oppression by those who feel they have almost a divine right to rule. This day is coming!”

“An anti-austerity protest attended by tens of thousands of people was held in Madrid”

“Demonstrators came from all over Spain. Many had walked large distances to attend this protest”

“The people were protesting over issues including unemployment, poverty and official corruption”

“The people were calling their protest THE MARCH OF DIGNITY because the protestors say their Government are stripping Spaniards of just that!”

“Cutbacks by the Government in particular to health and education are causing Spain irreparable damage”

“Although Spain has come out of recession, unemployment has soared with 6 million people out of work”

“They want a change in the Government and it is hardly surprising as the Government is corrupt and has embezzled Government money away”

“Even Spain’s Royal Family have been involved in putting charity money into offshore accounts for their own pleasure”

“The money should have gone to fund sports programmes in Spain”

“There has to be justice for the people and a new way of governing, where transparency is the norm”

“Unfortunately for the Spanish people, the King of Spain has everybody in his pocket and what he says goes and also controls”

“He holds the power, which means the military and other ministries on every front”

“It is by his wish whether a person is hired or fired and that will mean literally”

“It is up to the people yet again to voice their displeasure and bring about a right to justice”

“Even the highest must fall if justice is to be served”

“Can the Spanish people be strong enough to go down that road?”

“Already the Royal Family has come under fire and there is court action against the King’s son-in-law”

“His youngest daughter is also involved in embarrassing Court procedures”

“The King has tried to protect his daughter, but the Courts would have none of it”

“Many Spaniards have lost their lives due to suicide, where all hope ran out for them”

“The economic situation collapsed and there was no money to feed their families”

“All this while, the Government and Spain’s Royals are living the life of Riley”

“It is high time that justice was seen to be serving the people and not the establishment”

“They always win and continue to suppress the people for their own ends”

“Pope Francis has launched a stinging attack on the Mafia, warning gangsters that they will go to hell unless they repent & stop doing evil”

“Blood stained money and blood stained power, you can’t take it with you in the next life.  Repent,” he said.”

“What is interesting is, as Pope Francis carried on with the prayer vigil for the relatives of those killed by the Mafia…”

“…the service continued with the names of all those murdered, which were read out”

“There were 842 people at this vigil and, although the Mafia have killed millions of people all over the world, it was at least a start”

“Pope Francis further stated that the life they lived now won’t give them any happiness”

“That is so true, for one cannot receive happiness at the destruction of another – it is just not possible”

“Something always goes wrong and the price of obtaining with the one hand is always removed with the other”

“That is why they have to keep controlling and getting more, as they win so they lose every time”

“There have been many brave priests in Italy who have stood up to the Mafia and have died as a result”

“He also stated the wider Church has been accused of not doing enough to confront the gangsters and this is true”

“If the Church publicised their abhorrent distain towards the Mafia in a more aggressive way and…”

“…got the people around them to stand up, the Italian authorities would have a better chance of getting to grips with this disease”

“At the end of the day it has to be a collective fight against terror”

“It has plagued this country for so long and has brought about its economic decline over decades”

“The Church has a moral obligation to its flock, who have been intimidated for so long”

“The fact that priests are being killed shows that the Mafia have no regard for the afterlife and all that is brings”

“They simply do not believe it”

“Had they done so, they would not be in this trade of extortion and depravation for their own ends”

“They think of nothing but themselves, so to ask these criminals to repent is farcical”

“What is necessary is that the Church should stand in solidarity with the common man and the politicians”

“Then the judiciary can bring back justice to the people”

“Then Italy will be in a position to recover both from the fear of being terrorised and economically by the extortion that the Mafia brings”

“The EU has passed more sanctions on Russian individuals who are close to President Putin and who are involved in the Crimean crisis”

“Sanctions, in whichever way they are introduced, will affect the Russian people as a whole”

“Those that have money in Russia will see the value of their money crashing”

“Those that were clever will have already taken their money out and changed them into different currencies so as to secure what they have”

“President Putin might consider his move to obtain Crimea as a national treasure, which was always a part of Russia as its right”

“Its strategic position is vital for the Russian fleet”

“However he will incur a backlash as world Governments begin to put the squeeze on Russia and will further isolate its operations”

“When sanctions are imposed on a country and where other countries do not abide by this global ruling of sanctions…”

“…they too will suffer the consequences”

“So it becomes a united global assault on Russia with regards to trade and other economic curtailments”

“The Russian people may be laughing now, but in the long term and as sanctions continue to bite, they won’t be laughing anymore”

“Sometimes national desires don’t always follow a pattern we would like. Consequences are often likely to happen”

“Russia had no restrictions on its fleet in the Crimea. It panicked thinking the West would have taken over”

“This was never the case. Crimea would have maintained the status quo

“It is President Putin’s short-sightedness and bullyboy tactics, which will bring him down”

“Nobody likes a bully and it is this which is being visibly shown to the world”

“Now he must lie on his bed that he has made for himself and Russia!”

“The 28 nation bloc will cancel an EU/Russian summit in June and member states will cancel regular bilateral summits”

“President Obama is visiting Europe next week, as he chairs the G7 meeting pointedly leaving Russia out”

“As Russia will now be left out of major decisions globally, their so called vetoes will no longer be relevant”

“Again they are shooting themselves in the foot”

“The Russian people in Crimea will find their euphoria short lived”

“They will have less freedom and will now be dominated by a regime they thought they understood, but have been sorely misguided”

“They believed the propaganda that was given out. They did not think carefully before acting”

“Now they will pay a high price for their intransigence, but it was their choice!”

“Children’s Services in Coventry have been branded inadequate by Ofsted”

“Coventry City Council has been criticised for its lacking in management and for not seeing vulnerable children fast enough”

“Managers at the authority will see at last a £5.6m cash boost. There will now be more social workers employed”

“The little boy, Daniel Pelka aged 4 from Coventry, died last March 2012 after being starved and abused by his mother and her boyfriend”

“Daniel was pronounced dead after suffering a cardiac arrest”

“Ofsted’s investigation in the wake of his death stated the local Safeguarding Children’s Board was inadequate”

“The report also stated that bosses did not tackle the weaknesses in social care fast enough”

“The report also shows social workers in Coventry had such heavy caseloads they couldn’t do their job properly”

“The leadership of management in Children’s Services just wasn’t up to standard”

“It is now up to Ofsted to get the situation up and running”

“Their report must bring in the necessary changes at the highest level so that our children become safe”

“Many children go missing in the city. They are not being picked up or interviewed afterwards to see what has happened to them”

“As a nation, we have unfortunately lost the close-knit communities that we once had, where neighbours knew each other and took an interest”

“Children then were not so vulnerable, as the care within the social community was always at hand”

“England has become such an international and diverse society it can hinder integration”

“With this lack of integration, isolation becomes normal”

“The people tend to stick to themselves and their attitudes are not picked up by society”

“So when there are problems they are often hidden away and this is where children become more vulnerable”

“They feel they cannot open up and let people in and let them know what is actually happening to them”

“Also schools, doctors and the police don’t liaise enough when they spot problems with very young children”

“Where there is obvious neglect, no one seems to care to take on any form of responsibility”

“We, as a society, owe it to our young children to protect them and to start to see the early signs of abuse”

“Many of us have a laissez faire attitude that it is always somebody else’s problem and not ours”

“Still innocent children are dying and it is shocking to think we still have not learnt from the previous horrors”

“Our children deserve our love and our steadfastness to protect them at all times – after all they are our future”

“We have a responsibility to them and to future generations!”

“South Africa’s top corruption fighter has said President Zuma has benefited unduly from using state money to improve his rural residence”

“The charges made to President Zuma’s home, where he has installed a swimming pool and a cattle enclosure costing the taxpayers $23m”

“Public Protector Ms Madonsela accused Mr Zuma of unethical conduct and said he should repay the costs for the unnecessary renovations”

“President Zuma’s home has turned into a major political controversy in South Africa”

“He was booed at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service”

“The amount of $23m totals 1,000 times that spent on FW de Klerk’s residence, who was South Africa’s last apartheid-era president”

“Some of these measures can be legitimately classified as unlawful and the acts involved constitute improper conduct and maladministration”

“President Zuma has 14 days to respond to Thuli Madonsela’s report before Parliament”

“President Zuma has up to now successfully brushed aside previous scandals, but his home seems to have touched a particular nerve”

“President Zuma’s failure to act in protection of state resources constitutes a violation of executive ethics code”

“This conduct is not allowed with his office as a member of the Cabinet”

“This report comes just two months before the governing African National Congress (ANC) faces national elections”

“The ANC is not about to lose power, but its popularity is shrinking”

“The people of South Africa have to now look at who do they want to govern them”

“This is not about the colour of a person’s skin, but who is the most honest and honourable person they wish to be governed by”

“A person who will put the interests of the people before themselves, as Nelson Mandela did, is a unique icon in the history of this world”

“There are honest people in South Africa, both black and white”

“It is now a wakeup call to these people to stop thinking of a party which is corrupt…”

“…but of a party which is honest and which has the best interests in all respects for the people”

“President Zuma’s legacy has already been fraught with scandals”

“Now it is up to the intelligence of the people to openly voice their displeasure and vote him out”

“The South African people continue to be deprived of basic needs”

“Meanwhile their President robs the very income that should go to providing them with much needed welfare, which is criminal in itself”

“Wake up people and elect a person on merit and not one of corruption!”

“Scientists have found extraordinary new evidence to support the Big Bang Theory for the origin of the Universe”

“Researchers have found a signal, or shadow imprint, left in the sky of a super-rapid expansion of space”

“This happened just factions of a second after everything came into being”

“The microsecond that the bang occurred, the imprint of expansion was there and is now being recognised”

“The scientists have used a telescope at the South Pole to observe a small patch of sky”

“The aim was to try to find a residual marker or signal of inflation”

“That was the instant enlargement of the first spurt in the Universe’s growth”

“The theory shows how the infant Universe grew in size from something microscopic to something the size of a marble”

“Space has continued to expand for nearly 14 billion years since then”

“The expansion or inflation is associated with the waves of gravitational energy”

“It is these ripples in the fabric of space, which leaves their indelible mark in the oldest light in the sky”

“It is these signals that are now being identified”

“Our Universe continues to vibrate and pulse at a frequency that can be detected and where it allows for it to further expand and develop”

“All is done within the Scientific and Universal Laws and remains perfect and in balance at all times, even when growing and ever expanding”

“You can no longer leave it to Israel and Palestine to decide this outcome”

“It has to be decided by the international community and where the law of the land is determined”

“Then and only then will peace become possible, where there will be a peacekeeping force to maintain the status quo

“Where policies to determine peace of the two individual states are enforced and abided by”

“It cannot be any more decided by the US, who are in the control of Israel and will then only abide by their direction”

“The US is the laughing stock of the world because of it and there is no longer any respect where peace talks are concerned”

“The Palestinian people no longer believe it nor does the rest of the world”

“The West has put the Palestinian situation in this mess and it is now up to the international authorities to put it right”

“Israel’s Government do not want peace”

“…is one of the most significant events in the 20th Century Palestinian and Israeli history”

“They all have blood on their hands and they know it”

“Even the Israeli people can now see the inhumane treatment that their Government poses on the Palestinian people”

“They unfortunately are not strong enough to overthrow their Government”

“However they must be made accountable for their extreme actions over decades of unrest”

“What kind of a world are we living in where one nation is so brutally subjected to the callous actions of another?”

“We all sit by and wash our hands of it”

“They will experience a tougher life now that their politicians have unleashed a mayhem they cannot really control”

“Vladimir Putin himself will become isolated on the world stage and that is where he will feel his greatest rebuff”

“He will no longer be taken seriously or even trusted”

“Various trade elements he has in the pipeline will now be shut off”

“Even though it will hurt the world’s economy, it can withstand it on a greater footing than Russia”

“The dispersal of the deficit can be absorbed throughout the various global systems and they will become easier over time”

“Russia may have natural resources, but if nobody wants to buy then they cannot function”

“If Russia is so marvellous, why is it so many Russians want to come out?”

“Why do the rich elite not live there, but prefer the lucrative West?”

“There their assets are secure and their business dealings are not overlooked and curtailed at a moment’s notice?”

“Big brother still operates in Russia and freedom is something the people do not enjoy”

“For those who live in a western democracy, freedom is taken for granted”

“One cannot comprehend what Russians are subjected to each and every day”

“For peace to become possible in this world it needs Mankind to start taking personal responsibility for their actions”

“It needs to start with a moral policy”

“Too many people are on the breadline, breeding dissatisfaction and feelings of being let down”

“It is high time that Man was given equal opportunities for advancement and where hard work is seen and rewarded”

“Until the higher echelons of society start to play their part in helping those less fortunate than themselves, nothing will ever change”

“In all walks of life Mankind needs help and reassurance that what they do is making a difference to their life and the lives of others”

“Only then can systems improve and situations are then turned around for the better”

“Too many of us neglect each other and the tragedy that goes with it becomes an increasing spiral of upset and regret”

“We all must have love at the centre of our being and then situations start to manifest in a better more organised way”

“We are all sensitive to hurt and pain and so it is with our own actions. We cannot afford to give out these negative energies”

“What we all need in order to prosper is to recognise love as the only panacea for health and rejuvenation of the spirit to carrying on”

“We all have the capacity to love”

“What is more difficult for so many is to actually show it and that makes a substantial difference to all one meets”

 “A US regulator has sued 16 banks for manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)”

“The Libor rate is used to set trillions of dollars of financial contracts, including mortgages and financial transactions around the world”

“The regulator found that manipulation caused substantial losses to 38 US banks, which were shut down during the 2008 financial crash”

“The sued banks include Barclays, HSBC, Citigroup and Royal Bank of Scotland”

“The British Banker’s Association (BBA) has also been sued by the regulator – the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)”

“The FDIC says that the banks mentioned in the lawsuit rigged the rate from August 2007 to mid-2011”

“Other banks named in the lawsuit includes Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Lloyd Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS and Rabobank”

“What is so appalling is that there is no honour only self-interest and greed all the time”

“Even when it affected the American banks which went under, there was no care or consideration”

“That old saying ‘there is honour among thieves’ does not even apply to these institutions who believe they are above the law”

“As with all things in life one can flaunt the law and think they are above it”

“Like UBS whose power is so great that they influence the Swiss Government into what they want”

“This kind of power is not healthy”

“Until all banks are brought down to size and power, they continue to be a threat to normal practicing ethics”

“Something they do not have or wish to have, as it curtails their practice of what they feel they can get away with and will certainly try”

“At the end of the day they are no better than criminals, modern day robbers who feel they have carte blanche to do and say as they wish”

“Their time has now come, even though the financial crash happened in 2008”

“It was predicted already in the making in 2005 by us. The situation is not finished”

“By Spiritual Law they will be brought down and even more regulations are being implemented to safeguard the public from these risk takers”

“Greed blinds people into doing objectionable things & they are altogether in a cauldron of their own choosing – all greedy people together”

“See them brought down to size and where convictions will be brought in for individuals who are at the top”

“They will fall by the rule of law”

“The head of Syria’s main opposition alliance has said its international allies must now honour their pledge to supply heavy weapons”

“Ahmed Jarba of the National Coalition has confirmed that he was promised these weapons if the recent talks in Geneva failed”

“It is now understood that the Syrian Government has brought in Islamist extremists to provide further chaos within the war”

“Mr Jarba has wowed to kick these extremists out of Syria and has already succeeded in several provinces”

“The main enemy is the Government who has ruled Syria for 50 years with a rod of fire & iron, demolishing many towns and villages completely”

“When the revolution originally kicked off there were no extremists or terrorists…”

“…only the Syrian people looking for freedom after 50 years dictatorship”

“Diplomacy is no longer relevant in this war”

“There needs to be a change in the balance of power, which will bring the conflict to a deciding end”

“The Assad regime only know one language, the language of force at all costs”

“He wants to bring his people to submission as he has done and his father before him”

“Syrians are paying a high price for freedom and they won’t allow this dictator to rule them again whatever the price”

“The tide is now turning and with the appropriate assistance there will be a solution which is long overdue”

“The Syrian people above all else deserve this now!”

“The situation between Russia, the Ukraine and Europe will become a stalemate”

“Nothing positive will arise from talks with Russian’s Sergei Lavrov and US John Kerry as they will lock horns”

“They will have to admit their differences”

“The solution will not come from the US or Russia, it will be found by an intermediary coming from Europe”

“Solutions to both economic and strategic policies will be able to make a difference for the whole country and for the Ukraine to survive”

“It will be a close run thing, but a window of opportunity not seen before will be implemented”

“It will allow for new laws and legislation to come forward out of an impasse situation”

“Crimea will be held as a ransom talking point, even though Crimea will want to remain under Russian influence and…”

“…Russia will want to retrieve it out of the clutches of the Ukrainian Government”

“Again there will be an impasse where the practical is not always possible, as the economic failings are growing out of control”

“There is so much debt around and, even though Russia wants it, their own financial system is far from buoyant”

“They cannot afford to maintain a failed state, no matter how hard they want it”

“The situation would put an increased heavy financial burden on Russia and its people”

“The Russian people themselves will have something to say about it!”

“President Putin will try to find a way to obtain Crimea, but the cost will weigh heavily on his already stretched financial burden”

“Time will tell before a withdrawal of Russian troops will decide the outcome. At this time nobody is going anywhere”

“Vast negotiations coming from Europe will prove more beneficial all around, so all can save face in this horrendous situation”

“A new President will be elected and a new improved financial Government will rule the Ukraine”

“The number of Syrian children in need has more than doubled in the past year to 5.5 million”

“The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said this”

“Up to a million children are living under siege in areas where the agency and other humanitarian organisations cannot access”

“Children have lost lives, limbs and every aspect of their childhood”

“The statistics, presented in the UNICEF report ‘Under Siege’ show the devastating impact on children of this 3 year conflict, are daunting”

“The children have no schooling and many become refugees abroad, which have now gone up from 260,000”

“Some 425,000 children are under 5 years old, with many who have lost parents and siblings to the conflict”

“Children have been forced to work early and young girls forced to marry for financial reasons”

“Boys of 12 years old have been recruited in the fighting. All these children are in need of counselling for the trauma”

“UNICEF’s report warns the situation is likely to get worse”

“Until the UN and the International Community start to intervene and bring concrete solutions to the table…”

“…Bashar al-Assad will do nothing to save his people”

“His power hungry criterion has already brought this country to its knees, while the world looks on and does nothing”

“The time for negotiations has now passed”

“International authorities in the wake of this continuous stalemate situation must take effective action”

“Those that have brought crimes against their people must face the ICC in The Hague”

“How much blood must be further spilled before legalised action against these killing forces is brought to bear?”

“It is high time the UN had teeth and moved to do something instead of prevaricating while innocent victims continue to die”

“Is there no one in this world other than humanitarian groups who have a conscience?”

“What are these representatives doing? Getting fatter while the world’s people die around their feet?”

“We can no longer trust in banks, big businesses, doctors, hospitals and Governments”

“It is necessary for the people of this world to start looking for other alternatives…”

“…where there has been a proven record of decency and justice”

“The Church can no longer take the moral high ground they are no better than other institutions that are corrupt and out of control”

“We have to start looking at the Spiritual side of life where things are plainly right & wrong & where Spiritual Law is always in operation”

“All that do wrong are dealt with appropriately”

“We must look to the little trader who tends to be honest otherwise they would soon go out of business”

“How can we best support them, instead of always going to the supermarkets that strangle the growth of our high street?”

“We need to bring in community banks, where the locals are in charge collectively of helping their people and local industry and amenities”

“We, as a people, need to start taking responsibility for our own towns and villages”

“We must become where possible self-sufficient of these big businesses that ripe off too many people all the time”

“Even to have a local police force again, which is run by the community and paid for by them, where corruption is no longer acceptable”

“Everybody knows everybody and so a tighter control is always overseen”

“We have allowed businesses on so many levels to become too big and this is where the problems arise”

“Management at the very top have lost sight of the people and only do what is best for them and their greedy little ways”

“There needs to be a change in thinking and to allow the people themselves to take charge”

“To bring in the necessary expertise, which will be out there…”

“…where those individuals have to be made accountable to the people before they can be fully accepted”

“Where proof of their integrity is an ongoing thing and can never be taken for granted”

“Where there are no longer jobs for life, but where individuals must constantly prove their competence”

“Their honesty will need to be accepted in the community”

“People need to stop sleepwalking and start to take responsibility for themselves and their communities”

“All must club together to form a collective of mutual strengths and experiences”

“They can become servants to the community for the benefit of all, where community spirit is brought back for the benefit of all”

“Farming, building, all can be sorted out, even hospitals and doctors who care otherwise they will have no place in that community”

“This will be the only way to drive standards up and where peace of mind can come to both the individual and the community”

“In order for all to thrive and prosper”

“We all have been overrun and overcharged by big businesses whose greedy ways have brought extensive suffering to so many”

“There is no longer any accountability, because they are in the back pocket of corrupt politicians and other officials”

“Britain’s Kelly Gallagher is an inspiration to us all”

“She is Britain’s first ever Winter Paralympic gold medallist”

“She is visually impaired and needs a guide in the form of Charlotte Evans, who instructs Kelly as she skis”

“Kelly has achieved a Super Combined Slalom, a Giant Slalom, and a Super-G, Downhill”

“It was 90 seconds of bliss after 4 years of very hard work every day to achieve this victory”

“Gallagher, now 28 years old, started skiing for the first time when she was 17 and began working with Evans in the late 2010”

“Since then the pair have won silver and bronze medals in 2011 and 2013 World Championships as well as World Cup honours”

“Kelly’s eyesight disability is caused by a lacking of pigment in her body”

“That lets in too much light into her eyes and affects her skin. A condition she was born with”

“For Kelly to be able to see something to guide her on, her guide skier Charlotte Evans wears an orange hi-vis jacket”

“This allows Kelly to see that little dot and she just has to try to follow it as she skis behind Evans at speed”

“Kelly thanks Charlotte for getting her to the finishing line”

“She said, “We just threw ourselves at it and I prayed for the strength to ski and to have fun”

“Her prayers were answered”

“Well done to both Kelly and Charlotte for their bravery, determination and much courage”

“There is simply nobody else to blame for the way we go and the way we act through our period on this earth plane of existence”

“A scheme to let people know from the police if their partner has a history of domestic violence has been brought in across England & Wales”

“The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme known as Clare’s law is intended to provide information”

“It could protect someone from being a victim of attack”

“This initiative was named after 36 year old Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton in 2009”

“Clare was strangled and set on fire at her home”

“Unbeknown to her, Appleton had a history of violence towards women”

“He had become known as the Facebook Killer as he prowled the social network sites for partners”

“In the months before her murder she had repeatedly contacted Greater Manchester Police saying that Appleton had caused criminal damage”

“He had harassed her, threatened to kill her and tried to rape her”

“Police watchdogs later concluded Clare had been badly let down by the police”

“Yet another failing by the police force, who have a lot to answer for!”

“Again nobody is answerable for these failings. There is never any responsibility taken by the police”

“Appleton had a criminal record of being jailed for three years in 2002 for harassing another woman”

“He had a six month sentence for breaching a restraining order on yet another woman”

“Appleton later hanged himself after Clare’s death in a derelict pub”

“This scheme has so far helped over a hundred people with potentially life-saving information and it is hoped it will help far more”

“Clare’s father has said that had the scheme been put into place then, he believes his daughter would be alive today”

“As with everything in life there are lessons to be learned”

“What is clear here is that people are either put into prison for these offences or get restraining orders put into place”

“Yet the perpetrators are then released, not having been put right psychologically, but are put back into society with the same old problems”

“Nothing has actually changed and it is only a matter of time before these deranged people find their next vulnerable victim”

“They cannot stop themselves, as with paedophiles their minds are sick, so they cannot adjust to a normal life”

“All these perpetrators need to be dealt with psychologically and kept under constant supervision”

“One could say that it is very expensive. On the other hand, what price do you give a life that could be saved?”

“Remembering that just because a person has not died through their perpetrator does not mean their victims are not scarred for life”

“They carry their life sentence with them. Something the magistrates, courts and the law need to consider more and more”

“We are already aware of traumas felt by the victims of sexual and psychological abuse”

“They incur a life time’s sentence and where does that hell end for them?”

“There needs to more done for the victims of crime”

“Also the criminals themselves need help, where their sick predatory minds play no part in civilised society”

“Either way it is high time that the law moves to help both victim and perpetrator, where society is secured from these sick people”

“Locking them up is not the answer”

“Long-term help in a secure psychiatric unit is, until they are deemed well enough to return to the fold”

“We owe it to society to keep our vulnerable people safe - especially our children, but we continue to fail them all”

“Clare’s memory lives on, but have we learnt those lessons? I doubt it!”

“The father of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has expressed fears…”

“…that the truth will not emerge from a public inquiry into undercover policing”

“This recent inquiry has emerged after it was found out that the Lawrence family were spied on”

“The Metropolitan Police’s Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) spied on the Lawrence family”

“They say it was to see if they were involved in any covert organisations or criminal actions of any kind”

“They wanted it to be used against them and weaken their defence”

“It’d divert attention away from their son who was killed in an unprovoked racist attack by a gang of white youths in Eltham in April 1993”

“Evidence of corruption by police and the shredding of evidence and records at the time of the investigation, was now coming to light”

“The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has told MP’s the findings in the report had damaged the police”

“She has ordered a judge led public inquiry into undercover policing”

“The report already confirms that the SDS spied on the Lawrence family group”

“It also shows how the police had investigated the murder of Stephen Lawrence”

“At the time of his murder the police had huge prejudices on the black communities and the police compromised the investigation”

“Mr Neville Lawrence, Stephen’s father, said he was devastated when he heard…”

“…the Home Secretary talking about something he and his family had been discussing for 21 years”

“For this information to now come out, he feels he has been finally vindicated”

“The Metropolitan Police seemed always to be hiding what they are and put a different face out there to the public”

“He will never trust the police again and he is not alone in his thinking”

“Stephen was murdered in April 1993 and it was not until 2012 that two men were finally convicted of his murder”

“There were six youths who were involved in this racist attack. The others have so far got away with it”

“It is deplorable that the Lawrence family have had to suffer and wait all this time”

“Stephen’s mother, Doreen Lawrence, stated that the last revelations are the ‘final nail in the coffin’”

“She said that all those involved should resign for their disgraceful actions”

“The police have a lot to answer for”

“With the shenanigans of the Hillsborough disaster, the police blamed the fans to cover up their own faults”

“The phone hacking scandals and the Plebgate affair, where police lied and it cost an MP his position”

“There is no trust now in the police and they have brought these incidents upon themselves for their dishonesty and corrupt ways”

“Their time has now come!”

“It will take the US 2 years and billions of dollars to overcome the harm done by Edward Snowden’s intelligence leaks”

“Since last year, news organisations have published dozens of stories based on the leaked intelligence documents”

“Many of the documents were related to military capabilities and procedures”

“It is said it will cost billions of dollars to overcome the loss of US security”

“Nothing however is said about the countries that have been inflicted with these covert operations”

“They have had to bear the suffering and harm that has been brought down on them”

“It is high time that the US starts to think of their own implications”

“They are the dire consequences of their exposed tactics on the lives of so many innocent people around the world”

“Many have suffered extreme hardship around the world, where the US have influenced and put in dictatorial Governments”

“There is never any thought for the people – only the strategy that is best for the US”

“The world no longer trusts the West and it is hardly surprising”

“Where is the decency? Where is the honour and where is the justice for so many wrongs that have been done to so many people worldwide?”

“When a nation’s core values align with their own hearts, they become non-negotiable”

“If this is the guiding factor, then decisions can be made with the utmost integrity”

“To be seen by others as trustworthy is one of the greatest gifts a nation can have”

“Then and only then can they take the moral high ground and set an example to the rest of the world”

“This has not happened and so, so many countries now no longer trust each other”

“It will be the decent people of this world who have to show the example & where justice can make matters right in the face of so many wrongs”

“Unfortunately for the human race, our leaders do not hold up to the scrutiny of doing what is right, only what is of self-interest”

“That has to change in order for the human race to survive”

“US researchers have revealed that a baby carrying the HIV virus, which leads to AIDS, may have been cured by early treatment”

“Antiretroviral drugs were given to a baby in California just four hours after its birth”

“The baby, now nine months old, is said to be HIV negative”

“Another child in Mississippi, who was HIV positive, is also in remission following early treatment, which was given in 2013”

“There is now no trace of the virus in the infant’s blood or tissues”

“The nine month old child is still recovering”

“The three year old Mississippi child stopped antiretroviral treatments two years ago and remains fine”

“Both children were born to mothers infected with the HIV virus, which weakens the body’s immune system”

“The immunodeficiency virus has infected more than 34 million people worldwide”

“The breakthrough with these two infants will now increase the impetus to treat early”

“Then other small innocent children can have a life that is HIV free”

“The treatment needs to be given to those countries in Africa, where the spread of HIV is rife”

“Here there seems no end to this misery for so many who are infected in the family”

“There, through the birth of a baby, the HIV is transferred from the infected mother”

“So then the cycle in the family continues with so many children contacting this virus”

“There is the means to solve this problem, but it needs active participation by the respected countries, widespread information and advice”

“Education to the masses is not enough”

“There needs to be more hands on workers in this field of expertise together with Government participation”

“HIV/AIDS can be eradicated if the pharmaceutical companies did more to oblige”

“There needs to be a moral outlook here before profits, which tends to be the main criteria all the time”

“We are all in this world together & it is high time that Mankind really starts to help one another & not just leave it to the dedicated few”

“A survey done by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found…”

“…a third of all women in the EU have experienced physical or sexual abuse”

“That corresponds to 62 million women. It is the biggest survey carried out”

“The report calls on EU countries to now treat domestic violence as a public not a private issue anymore”

“All laws and policies relating to sexual harassment should be reviewed”

“Women have been subjected to physical, sexual and psychological violence in the home and the work place…”

“…together with stalking and sexual harassment and violence in childhood”

“1 in 10 women have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15 and 1 in 20 have been raped”

“What has emerged from this report is this extensive abuse has affected many women’s lives…”

“…but is systematically under reported to the authorities”

“Violence against women is an extensive human rights abuse in all EU member states”

“It is now urging that countries fight the problem, which impacts on society every day”

“Men need to engage in initiatives that confront how men use violence against women”

“Until women start to fight more for their own self-respect this situation will never change”

“No amount of laws will really deal with this problem unless these perpetrators are exposed to the public and justice is seen to be done”

“It no longer can it be swept under the carpet”

“Women have been slow to come forward as they are only too aware that nothing will get done”

“A recent example is the Jimmy Savile case”

“Lord Rennard also used his political power to make sexual advances to female party members and when they reported him nothing was done”

“It was only when more women came out of the woodwork that it was realised he had been doing this for many years and getting away with it”

“He was later suspended for his antics by his party for bringing the party into disrepute”

“What about the women who suffered under his control? What about them?”

“It is high time the culture of abuse was rectified, so that women of all ages and all ranks can at last feel safe and respected”

“It must come in, if we as a race want to evolve from the caveman era”

“Italy says it will unblock 2m euros in emergency funds to save the ancient city of Pompeii after flooding has caused its walls to collapse”

“One has to ask, “What kept them?”

“The more damage done by letting these precious buildings deteriorate the more expensive restoration is required”

“The EU had already made substantial funds available for the care and restoration of the site”

“It has been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO and UN Cultural Organisation”

“The Italian media is blaming the Government’s slow actions and mismanagement and bureaucratic delays”

“Pompeii’s degradation has been a source of constant embarrassment for the Italian authorities and quite rightly so”

“Every year 2.5m tourists visit Pompeii”

“Despite the money they generate there, there have been allegations that the site has been neglected and underfunded”

“Unfortunately, as with so many things in Italy, there is little pride in their heritage”

“So many of their famous buildings have been taken for granted”

“When people begin to really care and cherish their heritage more, then situations can change”

“There must be education in the appreciation of our world historical buildings”

“In Egypt, everything there is cherished and preserved for all of humanity to see and admire a world that is so removed from today”

“They respect their buildings and they are well guarded and preserved, because they care”

“President Obama has warned that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu must make tough decisions to advance peace talks with the Palestinians”

“The White House has said they want to see a deal in place by 29th April”

“As usual there is little sign of its progress”

“The White House says it is possible to create two states with people living side by side in peace and security”

“It needs compromise on both sides”

“Mr Netanyahu has pointed out that Israel has released Palestinian prisoners”

“It has withdrawn from Gaza and other so called minor steps to ease tensions”

“What he has failed to announce to the world is…”

“…the lack of access to adequate safe and clean water for the Palestinian population of the occupied territories “

“Israeli water polices have resulted in violations of the right to an adequate standard of living for the Palestinians”

“Their rights are needed for food, health, work and adequate housing”

“Their present conditions are unsustainable and the people who live on the two sides already know this”

“All this was known by an in-depth report announced by Amnesty International in October 2009”

“Nothing has changed and the status quo still remains”

“On both sides, Israeli and Palestinians, opinion polls say both want the situation repaired”

“It is the politicians who remain entrenched in their own dogma and intransigent disposition”

“Obama has warned that Washington would only have a limited ability to protect Israel from fallout”

“The Palestinians now threaten to pursue these injustices at the International Criminal Court and boycott any campaign”

“The world is getting increasing frustrated with Israel’s prevaricating and with the US holding up Israel’s crimes against humanity”

“No more can this situation be swept under the carpet”

“If other societies where held in this appalling state and having had their country taken away from them…”

“…it is hardly surprising that one would be a little irked to say the least”

“The bully boy tactics by Netanyahu can no longer be allowed”

“As the situation in the Ukraine takes another twist in events, the people will start to rally around the new present Government”

“New involved laws will be introduced, which will allow for a permanent structure for all the people of the Ukraine to deal with”

“It will allow for certain laws, where minorities can feel safe and secure”

“A stabilising economy can be drafted to allow for a pickup of the dire economic situation”

“It will favour the whole country, which would include the Crimea”

“If the Crimea does not wish to abide by this new legislation they will find that life for them will not be so easy under Russian domination”

“Promises given by Russia to the Crimea will not be forthcoming and so it will sink into a new economic low”

“The new financial package is for the whole country, not just for parts of it”

“It is up to the Crimea to realise that they would ultimately be better off under this structure”

“Nobody wants war and this sabre rattling is not being helpful to the Ukrainian people who wish to live in peace”

“What has to be acknowledged is that the last President was corrupt and his policies have landed this country into an economic freefall”

“It now has to be salvaged so that the Ukraine can begin again with better more robust policies, which can save this nation”

“War will destroy”

“All who had good intentions to bring back this country from the brink of bankruptcy will have had their chances curtailed”

“See the Ukrainian Government bring in strong reassurances that it can manage to return this country to full functioning”

“However it must be given the chance to do so”

“Expert financial advice is already on the table and so a reverse structure, which will promote growth, will be there”

“Where there is strength, then Russia has no business interfering, where there is weakness, then panic arises and Russia will step in”

“It must be the Ukrainian Government that must open up the dialogue with all nations”

“Be advised and the people should respect this interim time to allow for these necessary changes to occur”

“See a better more lasting approach come in and where the people of this great nation can begin to breathe again”

“Hundreds of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews have held a mass prayer in Jerusalem against plans to conscript them into the Israeli army”

“This group of men wish to devote their lives to study the religious scriptures, which they see as a foundation of Jewish life”

“They state they will stay in education”

“While they remain in education for decades, they are content to remain unemployed because of their religious studies”

“They rely on donations, state benefits and their wives’ wages in order to live”

“This has caused resentment amongst Israel’s secular majority…”

“…leading to the demand that ultra-Orthodox Jews should share in the social burden”

“It is hoped that by going in the army, from there, they can enter at last into the work place and relieve the burden on the state”

“All religious orders around the world either shut themselves off and become self-sufficient or…”

“…they support their communities while working and praying”

“Work in itself can be an act of prayer, when it is offered up as doing something for the Greater Good and where all benefit”

“In the case of Mother Teresa, her religious order practiced prayer & religious studies while helping their fellow man who were ill or dying”

“She said it was doing something beautiful for God and so every day for her was a prayer”

“It is only the selfish ultra-Orthodox Jews, who insist that they are the elite”

“They think that they should be exempt from working and contributing towards society”

“Yet they are only too happy to take from everybody else while relinquishing any responsibility where the subject of work is concerned”

“As was said, all other religious orders around the world actively support their societies to help in any way possible”

“Even closed religious orders still work to support themselves and are self-sufficient”

“Where possible they give to their local communities in exchange for what they need”

“There is a barter system where all gain and all are prepared to work for it”

“If you want to be a part of this world, then to contribute your share towards humanity is what is right”

“Living and sponging off society under the guise of religious studies is not a good enough excuse”

“Others have no choice but to support you through their taxes”

“One cannot be expected to do as one wants at the expense of others whose own liberties are denied…”

“…just because they want to be a lifelong student”

“Their time has come to enter into the 21st Century”

“The historical drama ‘12 Years a Slave’ has won the best picture Oscar at the Academy Awards”

“Steve McQueen, the British director of this motion picture, has dedicated the Oscar to all the people who have endured slavery”

“It was based on a true story, where a free black man Solomon Northup was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana”

“Slavery is still very much with us in the 21st Century, where people are used as slave labour”

“This was very much evidential in Bangladesh recently where poor working conditions for garment workers were getting below the minimum wage”

“Bangladesh receives billions of dollars in revenue from these products and keeps their workers in substandard conditions”

“Their factories often go up in flames and many have died and been injured without compensation”

“Nothing is being done to alleviate their state of suffering”

“Globally girls are sold into slavery and into the sex trade after being kidnapped”

“They are taken to different countries and drugged up against their will”

“They fear for their lives and are subjected to bad treatment. Young boys also are subjected to these ordeals of prostitution”

“The world must start to condemn these acts with proper lawful intent”

“Otherwise nothing will ever change and Man’s cruelty and exploitation to Man will remain”

“A Senior UN official has now broken ranks with his organisation & called for full compensation for victims of a cholera epidemic in Haiti”

“Gustova Gallon is the UN’s top human rights officer in Haiti and has said those found responsible must be punished”

“The UN has so far rejected compensation claims”

“Evidence has shown that UN peacekeepers introduced cholera to Haiti in 2010”

“This outbreak has taken more than 8,300 lives and has infected hundreds of thousands”

“The evidence had shown that leaking sewage pipes at a UN base caused the disease”

“It was found on the boots of the peacekeepers and later transferred to Haiti when they came over”

“This disease was not there before the UN introduced it”

“The organisation says it has legal immunity from any lawsuits filed for Haitian victims”

“Even though they may have legal immunity, it does not make it morally right”

“Mr Gallon is now trying to get around this question and to finally put a stop to this epidemic, which is still affecting so many”

“To pay full compensation for those suffering this experience has to be legally and morally right”

“These people have suffered enough and it is the job of the UN to take the moral high ground and to be an example to the rest of the world”

“By taking the right action, they pave the way for others to be made accountable for their actions”

“This is especially so when there is no fault on the victims’ side”

“At the end of the day Man must do what is right and honourable to show by example when a deed has gone so tragically wrong”

“Many cities, including the capital Caracas, are where protestors are increasing”

“Anti-Government demonstrations are happening every day and the people are determined to resolve these disputes on the country’s streets”

“The people do not believe that fair elections can take place, as the Government has full control of all institutions and the media”

“The media are almost non-existent nowadays”

“There will be much blood shed until this Government can be overthrown – something that they will resist with heavy artillery”

“The US involvement to be able to mediate some sort of a settlement is laughable at this stage”

“There is no force that can stand up to this Government other than the force of the people”

“How much more can the Venezuelan people endure? These problems have been going on for decades”

“Each time there is a revolt the Government clamps down and nothing changes only continuous misery”

“The people see other countries around the world challenging and standing up to their corrupt Governments”

“It gives them hope that they are not fighting alone and that for change to happen the force for justice must be seen and implemented”

“Fear in a hopeless state of affairs becomes useless”

“When one has no hope, fear then becomes irrelevant. That is when the people are at their most dangerous”

“Mobs of fighting people can be a very frightening dangerous experience”

“Remember the French Revolution!”

“This Venezuelan Government fear the people and are only after having power for themselves”

“Freedom of the press and other institutions are not allowed and so the rights of the people do not exist in a dictatorial situation”

“It is up to the people to decide whether right justice is worth fighting and dying for”

“Otherwise they will remain in the dictatorial status quo where misery is the daily diet”

“Russia cannot afford to overplay its hand, as they risk many reprisals the world over”

“Not only from the UN, the EU and US, but other countries with which they do business”

“Russia cannot afford a backlash, which would happen with immediate effect.  All are poised now to see what the Ukraine will do”

“What is extremely important is that the Ukraine’s interim Government must show strength and determination”

“Where necessary they must put their army on the streets to show protection for their own people”

“There must be an absolute show of strength not only for their own people, but for those from whom they wish financial backing”

“Ukraine can no longer be held to ransom, as was the case with Russia and their now ousted out President Yanukovych”

“They need concrete deals, whereby they can bring their country out of recession and into profit again”

“When the determination is there then the right deal is always found”

“Then the Eastern Ukraine will need to fall inline if they wish to be a part of the new positive regime”

“Eastern Ukraine needs to look at the benefits that East Germany now enjoys since the fall of the Berlin Wall”

“Or do they wish to be in the same situation as East Germany was before the fall of the wall? Only the ignorant would say, “Yes!”
