article 10: Derby fire deaths: Mick and Mairead Philpott in court


Derby fire deaths: Mick and Mairead Philpott in court


A few days ago there was a big fire in a house in Derby. The fire was immense and almost all the people who were inside the house died. There were six children inside the house and they all passed away. Jade, John, Jack, Jessie and Jayden died in the house , their brother Duwayne died in the hospital because of his injuries. The parents of those children have to go to court. A detective says this fire is started with patrol close to the front door. The parents are very sad, but don’t say a word about it.

If the parents truly “killed” their children I think it is crazy and very sad. Six young children who are not here anymore , all dead. On this moment the police does not have enough to prove that the parents were the one who started the fire, so that is all a little nerve-racking for the parents as for all the other family members. I hope the kids can rest in peace and I hope the case will be solved soon.   

article 9: Vladimir Putin to snub London 2012 Olympics


Vladimir Putin to snub London 2012 Olympics


The Russian president Putin does not really like the British country and culture. He is very against the ideas from the UK and USA.  This year the Olympics will be held in the British city London and Putin decided not to go there. Instead of him his prime minister Dmitry Medvedev will go to London this summer. The former Labour minister of the European Union says he is glad with Putin’s decision not to come. When Putin visited Beijing in 2008 a unfriendly conversation between Putin and Bush became a topic.  To not have those conversations again it is the best for Putin to not come to the Olympics this year.

For me this sounds all a bit childish. All those men are adults who think before they say something and who give their respect to others. Putin has decided not to go to the Olympics to stay out of trouble, but I think an event like this should be an event with piece and a lot of bonding. There should not be people who blame others for things they do wrong. Maybe it is the best that Putin stays away , but I just think it is ridiculous that this is necessary to have a successful Olympics. 

article 8: Internships: the reality is, that's how people get into fashion


Internships: the reality is, that's how people get into fashion


Fashion is an industry that is very hard to make enough money.  Fashion changes every time and sometimes a brand is very famous , but a month later the brand can be forgotten. In this industry a lot of people work without having a salary. The best way to get a good job in this fashion industry is to start with an unpaid internship. Some brands say they cannot exist if they did not have the unpaid employees. There are many different kind of jobs in this industry , if you work for a very good brand and arrange lots of things you will get a good cv, but you can also end up somewhere taking care of the coffee.

I think it is very unfair for all those people who work very hard in this industry and won’t get paid at all. I think this industry is very hard to function well and I do think that every intern should at least get a little bonus for all the hard work. The crisis has been terribly hard on some people , so if you work very hard for a company and also don’t get paid at all you should find another job to pay your costs. This is what I think the most silly thing I heard, I think those people earn some money from this industry.

article 7: Puppy with two broken legs dumped in Fife park


Puppy with two broken legs dumped in Fife park

In a park, a very normal park people found a little young dog. It was not just a dog, the dog could not even walk anymore. The owner , who the police is still looking for, abused the dog. The dog could not walk anymore, because his legs were broken. One of his legs is damaged, so Cody probably need an amputation. The dog is very young and very sweet, so no one can imagine that someone could really hurt this dog. His name is Cody now and people are looking for the owner or someone who already knew Cody.

When I read this article I got a very sick feeling inside me. I can not imagine that someone could hurt a dog so much that the dog has two broken legs. This is a very serious problem and I do think the person who did this should say it out loud. I think if you did something terrible like this you should be punished very hard. I am glad that Cody is fine at the moment and that he is starting to become a happy dog again. I hope those terrible things won’t happen again. 

article 6: Prince William: My sadness that Diana was not at our wedding


Prince William: My sadness that Diana was not at our wedding


Prince William , who married his wife Kate last year is the duke of Cambridge. He lost his mom who everyone knows as Princes Diana a couple of years ago. Everyone can remember that accident and everyone was very sad. William never thought too much about it , because he had a rough time as he says in an interview. He now reveals that when he married Katie he really wanted his mom to see it. He feels sad about the fact that Diana will never meet Kate.  He hopes that she is proud of him and what is did in his life. The journalist who had the interview said she could tell that William was seriously hurt.

I feel very sorry for William and I understand his feeling of missing his mom. A marriage is something that both of your parents have to see. William was proud and happy with Kate and he wanted to show the whole world that he was in love and married her. Diana died a couple of years ago and this was very tragic for everyone. She was a very beloved person and I do think that she is very proud of her son if she could see him now.  I do understand that William wants to know how his mom thought about Kate and him together, but I do if she was still here she would support him. 

article 5: 'I told him to get off": Woman allegedly sexually assaulted by Titus Bramble weeps in court as she speaks of 'taxi attack'


'I told him to get off": Woman allegedly sexually assaulted by Titus Bramble weeps in court as she speaks of 'taxi attack'

The famous football player Titus Bramble is accused by a woman who’s name can not be told because of legal reasons. She met him at a night in a club and later on the shared the same cab. At first he wanted to kiss her, but because she knew he had a wife she refused. After that he started to get angry and touched her on different inappropriate places. The cabdriver drove to the police station where the woman went to the bathroom and came out when Bramble was gone. The court will decide how this is going to end.

I think it is terrible what happened here, something like this is a huge scandal , especially for a football player. Everyone in the news now knows about it and everyone has her or his opinion about it. I think it is terrible for the woman that something like this happened to her. I am glad the cab driver drove them immediately to the police station, because something like this should never happen again.  The woman is very scared and I can understand her, it is very scary to sit in a cab when someone is touching you.
