Abuse chock!!!

                                                              

According by cops in England and Wales there are more than 23.000 child sex offences. It is all include brutal crimes such as rape, incest and gross indecency.
The total was up eight per cent on the previous year and 13 per cent up on the year before.
One in four of the victims were 11 or under and more than 1,000 children were four years old or younger.

The NSPCC's Jon Brown said: "Thousands of people come forward every year to report sex crimes against children. "But many victims are too young to ask for help. Others are too scared to tell anyone about their suffering until years later.

My opinion:

It is horrible that there is such a stats that tells you that every twenty minutes a child sex crime is commited.
These kinds of people who rape and abuse children have to go in jail for years and years. 64 crimes every day  commited is a lot. The cops and the government should talk about these kind of things and help these children to let them go and ask for help or tell enyone about their problems. these children will have a lot of problems later in life. Some of them who are abused or raped will also commit these things. These victimes have to be changed.

Sixteen-year-olds are voting !!!

If you want to vote, you have to be 18 years. But in Bremen (Germany) is it a lil bit different.
The authorities in the city of Bremen lowered the voting age to try to interest younger people in politics.
They have done that to persuade the teenagers also to participate in the election. schools in bremen have also held lessons in how to fill in a ballot papers. Some of the people are sceptic arguing that the 16-years-old voters have to wait two more years to vote for the election, just like to drive a car.

The BBC's Stephen Evans, in Berlin, ''says studies indicate that 16-year-olds are less likely to take the trouble than older people - and one study also seems to show that their level of ignorance about politics is much greater than 18-year-olds''.

Austria is the only other EU-member nation that allows 16-year-olds to vote.

My Opinion
I think that they should not let the 16 years old children vote for the election. I do not think that the most of the children are very serieus about it. there are some of boy and girls they like the plitical things and have interest in it, but I do not think that a 16 years old boy or girl will vote. If they vote they will listen to their parents to see what they say and then they will vote for someone.

Girl, 17, arrested

                                              Temidayo Ogunneye
                                         Police believe Temidayo was robbed hours before he was killed
 
A 17-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in London. The boy who called Temidayo Ogunneye died after suffering multiple stab wounds in an attack behind a block of flats in Cormont Road, Camberwell, on Wednesday. The girl is now arrested and remains at a south London police station. Detectives believe that Temidayo who was from Peckham, south London, was robbed hours before he was killed by the girl. A few teenage boys were arrested on suspicion of his murder on Wednesday, but one has since been released without further action.

My opinion
It is awful to read this kind of news. How can a girl kill a boy? What can be the reason ? They do not know yet. I think that the detectives should be aware of these teenagers and follow them and ask some questions in the neighbours to know why the boy has been killed. It is not the first time that a teenage has been killed in the UK. Temidayo was the fifth teenager to be fatally stabbed in London this year. He was the fifth victim in a year. That is a lot. The police should be very aware and also be in crowed places to reduce this kind of horrible situations.


And the winner of Eurovision Song Contest is.....

                                                 

The winner of Eurovision Song Contest of 2011 in Germany  is Azerbaijan. The two stars of Azerbaijan; Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal of Ell/Nikki were voted Europe's favourites, after scoring 221 points with their love song, Running Scared. the vieuwers at home voted for their favourite song by phone or text message, which accounted for half of each country's vote. It is the first time that Azerbaijan has won the contest in its 56-year history, having only joined Eurovision in 2008. They were very happy and could not believe it. They were thankful of all the fans and people who voted for Azerbaijan.
The next year's contest will be held in the winner's capital city of Baku.

My opinion

Unfortunately, I could not watch the Eurovision Song Contest. So, I cannot say who was the best in my opinion. I just saw it on the internet that the winner of this song contest is Azerbaijan. I congruate them and hope that they will have another great oppertunity to win the next song contest again. I have to say that I liked the song they sang. It was a nice love song.

Will and Kate’s royal honeymoon: Prepare to be jealous

                              

Prince William and Princes Kate could not hide it anymore. They will stay in North Island for their honeymoon. North Island was in the 70s only inhabited by rats and cats. There are more tortoises than people on the island. Some are as old as 150 years old. It may sounds very boring and old but if you take a look at the pictures you will see how beautiful it is now. North Island is about 600 acres and it's surrounded by cliffs and coconut trees. There are also 11 villas that overlook the beach on North Island and each villa has a plunge pool. The bar and restaurant in the villa is built on an upturned tree. It looks and sounds fantastic.

My opinion
Well, first of all I have to say that most of the places that are very expensive were back in the past just a normal place where animals lived. Nowdays they are just like palace and if you have a lot of money you can stay there. I am not so jealous about their honeymoon, I will go to my own country. The weather, food, place, people everything is perfect. I hope that they will enjoy their stay in North Island and have fun their.

A Colourful Abaya

                                         Eman Al Mandeel and one of her dressmakers
When you are going to Saidi Arabia you have to wear a long garment, that is called in Arabic an ''abaya''. This long garment are worn by muslim women to protect themselves not from the weather but from the eyes of men. The colour of this Abaya is always black. Over the past few years, an abaya evolution has been under way thanks to the designer Eman Al-Mandeel and others. Eman started wearing her own designs, and after a while people started asking her to make abayas for them.
Eman moved to Riyadh where the black abaya's were worn by women with little or no embellishment on it. But against the odds, Eman's creations have won lots of fans. Many Saudi VIPs wear them, who can afford it.

Eman wants more Saudi women to adopt colourful abayas as a statement of their identity.
"You can not change a country in one or two years," she says thoughtfully. "But each year I can see Saudis getting that little bit more accepting… My aim is to make Saudi women look like individual members of society."

My opinion
I have seen this kind of cloth which is called an abaya. It is nice to wear it but not only the black one. I like the abaya's which have embellishment and are colourfull. The colour black is too hot in the summer. This designer did a great job to reinventing the Saidi Arabia Abaya. I also want to have one of this abaya just for fun. I will wear this kind of cloth when I have to go to the mosque.
