Justification

Also, it was interesting seeing the best national football team play against one of the not so good national teams. Bizarrely the Scottish and the Brazilian fans were mixed in the stands. Normally the fans would not be aloud to sit in the same stands due to match tension and violence. The fans mixed well which is important to mention because it shows fans can cooperate instead

First draft of article

19 year old wonder kid Neymar stole the show in the friendly clash between Scotland and Brazil at a packed out Emirates.

Brazil sent out a young team in a friendly against a pretty experienced Scottish
The Brazilians started the better team coming close twice with Jadson’s fierce shot from an angle and Leandro Damiao headed effort clipping the top of the bar early in the game.
Brazil looked in total control and looked to the be the first team to bread the dead-lock.
And that was the deal, in the 42nd minute, Andre Santos played the ball to Neymar inside the 18 yard box, the 19 year old Santos forward took one touch to control it, opened his body and curled the ball into the far corner of the net.
The Brazilians started the 2nd half the better team coming close on a couple of times, Neymar being the first with a blistering shot that just went over the bar within the 1st minute.

Brazil carried on piling bodies forward. They almost got a 2nd goal when the ball was played out wide to Dani Alves who picked out Ramires but the Chelsea midfielder couldn’t control his shot and fired high over from about 11 yards.
Leandro Damioa once again came close when a corner was swung in but the 21 year old Internacional striker could only head wide.
The 2nd goal the Brazilians were looking for finally came 13 minutes from time when Neymar received the ball just inside the 18 yard box; he did a lovely piece of skill to get around his defender but a tackle from Blackpool’s Charlie Adam brought down the young striker summing up the Scottish midfielders poor performance.
The referee had no hesitation and pointed straight to the penalty spot.
Neymar stepped up to take the spot kick and coolly slotted the ball in the bottom left corner while Scotland’s keeper, Allan McGregor went the opposite way.
Couple minutes later Liverpool’s midfielder, Lucas Leiva went on a wonderful run combining with Neymar but the teenagers shot was deflected in to the arms of Allan McGregor.
Although Brazil dominated the majority of the game, the Scots came close to pulling a goal back when Aston Villa midfielder, Barry Bannan’s free-kick was on target but the experienced Julio Cesar dealt with it well.
Another Brazilian teenager also almost made a name for himself when 18 year old Lucas Rodrigues Moura da Silva or simply Lucas, who came on to make his full international debut, showed a lovely piece of trickery and pace to set up Valencia striker Jonas Oliveira but the 6ft striker’s shot went over the crossbar in injury time.
The Brazilians knew they had secured victory and just kept the ball for the remainder of the game. At the full time whistle, the fans applauded both teams for what was an exciting game at the Emirates.

Educational news.

When: November 2010

Where: Cambridge university.

What: Tuition fees

Who: Government

Why:  Raising tuition fees

Tuition Fees:

As you all know tuition fees have been raised this year TWICE as much as last year.

This has affected everyone. All around Britain, people have gone on strikes to try and stop this Tuition Fees. But the government just turned there back on the public. It got to the point where people have been brutally hurt by the police, because of this they are in hospital. This then got so extreme that people have even died, in result to the tuition fees. This shows that the government have turned their back on their own people.  A member of the public says ‘‘this government isn’t for us.’’ IN 2001 the tuition per one full year was around £3,000; Now 2011 it is £9,000 per year.

Scotland’s universities are free. England is criticized for wanting money. Why can’t England’s Tuition Fees be free? In his speech, Mr Salmond said education must be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay. Alex Salmond is the Scottish National Parliament leader (also known as the SNP).

The public think that the tuition fees will rise again next year. The public think that when it gets to 2015, when I am in university then the tuition fees will be raised 5 times more then this years raise. This will affect me and other young people because we will not have enough money to go university so therefore the family will not encourage their children to go university. This will then end up in clever kids that have the potential to pass university not going because of the risen fees.

The government is ridiculously decreasing the budgets of every thing and increasing the cost of going to universities.

David Cameron who we all know has a big role in tuition. He can change help change the budget cuts and the increasing tuition fees. BUT he is completely on the other side of our argument. University have now made it harder for people from different countries to come and study there. Cameron was interviewed by students, a student asked Mr. Cameron if he believed the move would restrict the opportunities for Chinese youngsters to gain places on university courses in Britain.

Mr. Cameron said raising tuition fees will mean ''two things”: “It will make sure our universities are well funded ...and we won't go on increasing so fast the fees for overseas students.

''In the past we have been pushing up the fees on overseas students and using that as a way of keeping them down for domestic students.

“We have done the difficult thing. We have put up contributions for British students. Yes, foreign students will still pay a significant amount of money but we should now be able to keep that growth under control.”

Who: Josh Felvus & Liam jempson

What:  saved drowning man.

Where: Feeder Canal.

When:  2010

Why: Because a man was dying.

   

A PAIR of childhood friends has been hailed as heroes after risking their own lives to save a drowning man from the Feeder canal.

They were told to wait for help but josh felvus and Liam Jemp said they couldn't watch the man die, so they dived into the water to help him at feeder canal and dragged him to safety.

The pair were on their way home to Fishponds from a night out at Motion Skate Park, near Temple Meads Station, when they Seen the man in the river While 20-year-old Mr. Felvus called the ambulance, they watched helplessly as the man struggled to stay above the surface of the water.

After minutes of waiting student Mr. Jempson, 19, jumped into the 2.5-metre deep water, closely followed by his friend and they pulled the man to safety.

This is a statement from Mr. Felvus:

 "We'd been clubbing and had a few to drink and we were on our way home. It was about 5.30am and we were sat on the bridge with some other friends and a girl screamed there was someone in the water. We ran around to the water's edge and called an ambulance. We kept screaming at the man, telling him to swim over to the side so we could pull him out. We got a stick but he was too far away to reach and he kept going under. The emergency services told us not to enter the water but it got to the stage when he was going under for longer and longer. Liam jumped in and at that point he went under and didn't come back up. The bubbles were the only thing that showed where he was. I went in as well and we got him to one side where the ambulance had arrived. They gave us a rope to wrap around him and hauled him up the embankment, and then there was a ladder for us to climb up."

The mom of the drowned man thanked the two heroes for what they have done.

These two heroes have been friends from May park primary school, some people say that they’ve been heroes from young.

The 2011 anti-cuts protest in London/ March for the Alternative

Who: Thousands of people all over England have rallied up in anger against the constant cuts of the coalition-government that’s ruled over by David Cameron and Nick clegg.

Why:  Many of these cuts wont allow people the chance to go to university because the price has been put up so high, also many of the cut involve the “letting go” of thousands of people who have slaved away to get where they are now just to be fired because the government decided that your place of work will get 30% less money so your boss can afford to employ you and has no other way to work around it unless they fire you

What: In November 2010 hundreds of people all around England went on protests against the government cuts over tuition fees, counsel funding, benefits, disability benefits and many, many more.

When:  A lot of the protests happened in November and December last year but many are continuing to happen this year, the 25^th to the 27^th of march this year saw one if the biggest protests in the history of England,

Where: Recently the main protests have happened in city centres; one happened in London on the 25^th of March 2011, many have happened in Bristol centre as well.

Justification of choice: The reason I chose this topic was that I new it would eventually affect me as I grow up, and it affects young and old people with new jobs people with old jobs, people with families wont be able to look after there children if they lose there job and the children might be sent into care.

Also I know that people who don’t go to university don’t often get good jobs because if you go to a job interview and another person who’s after the same job as you went to university its most likely that they will be picked over you, this wouldn’t of happened if you got the chance to go to university and get a degree but because of the cuts this might just happen to you.

I know a few people who had dreams of becoming a professor, astronaut a journalist but because of the cuts they wont get the chance, they have the brains and the knowledge but they don’t have the money so they wont ever to get to full-fill there life long dream just because the government went back on its promises and destroyed many young peoples hopes and dreams.

Outline of content:

This article is about the new cuts put in place by the new coalition Government and how I think there affecting people especially the tuition fees cuts, the tuition fees has given the universities all over England the chance to chose how much to charge students for their  time learning and getting their degrees.

Whats happening in Libya

Proposal checklist & guidance.

Title: Dominic Brewer journalistic proposal.

Role: International correspondent.

Libya

What: Right now in Libya there is a civil war happing,

Who: General Col Muammar Gaddafi (the man I charge of Libya) said he will fight to the “last drop of blood in my veins”, rebel fighters

Where: The rebel fighters in Libya want freedom of Gaddafi and his dictator like rein in Libya,

When: The unrest in Libya started at the beginning of march 2011, recently in the last few days America, England and France(and other nations) have started dropping bombs “tomahawk missiles” on pro-Gaddafi soldiers and weapons such as tanks, anti-air guns and supply lines. Many/most of the countries involved over the problem in Libya have stated that they are not going to go to war but the reason that they are sending air-raids over there are to protect the people of Libya from there leader.

Why: A large percent of Libya’s population has became sick and tired of General Col Muammar Gaddafi rule over Libya, because of the way he treats them and now in his darkest hours he surrounds him self with a literal human shield of his citizens.

Justification of choice:

I chose this topic because it’s happing right now at this very moment that I’m writing this down, another country at the verge of civil war or is at civil war first Tunisia the Egypt and now Libya I find it rally interesting that countries right next to each other are getting rid of there dictators is like a domino effect, if you don’t know what’s going on around you

What’s affecting your day-to-day life? You won’t know what side you’re on and when you find out it might be too late.

Civil war is something we should all be interested in, epically in a place like Libya which has massive oil reserves and is the 17^th biggest oil producer in Africa, it also is almost the main producer for gas in Italy so if things go wrong many countries will end up with a loss unless they manage to get one of their “puppets” in charge which is most likely going to happen if General Gadafi leaves office, if this does happen it will be really interesting to see what will happen down the line in about sic to eighteen months time

Outline of content:

This article is about the civil war going on right now in Libya, it’s about General Col Muammar Gaddafi the leader/dictator of Libya and the rebel citizens of Libya who don’t want him as there leader, recently NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has got involved saying there going to protect the Libyan citizens from there own leader, because now Gaddafi had drawn a “human” shield around him, so NATO has started shelling pro-Gaddafi supporters with tomahawks missiles, and now slowly but surely the rebels or as some call them “freedom fighters”.   

Gaddafi said he would leave if he could take his whole family and be able to live anywhere of his choice, he said that almost two weeks ago and nothing has changed other from NATO getting involved. Recently “a Libyan government convey has arrived for some “talks” with British authorities in London but the Foreign office has stated that all contact with Libyan officials, it has been made clear the “Gaddafi has to go”.
