International air travel became more stringent after the Heathrow Airport shut down in London in August because of a suspected serious terrorist threat. It caused chaos and resulted in new restrictions to hand luggage on flights. The Bali nine lost their appeals against 20-year heroin-smuggling convictions, with some sentences increased to the death penalty. In May, an earthquake killed more than 4,600 and in July, a tsunami killed more than 650 on the island. A landslide buried an entire village in the Philippines in February, and tens of thousands were evacuated amid the erupting Mayon volcano in the Philippines in August. Back home, cyclone Larry smashed the far north Queensland coast in March, with its destructive core flattening Innisfail, south of Cairns. As the most bushfire prone place in the world , authorities feared the worst bushfire season yet for south-eastern Australia.

The nuclear energy debate intensified after a report by Dr Ziggy Switkowski recommended a rethink on uranium mining and alternative energy industries.

Steven Pinker Psychologist, Harvard University, author of The Blank Slate In 16th-century Paris, a popular form of entertainment was cat-burning, in which a cat hoisted on a stage was slowly lowered into a fire.

This is just one example of the most important and under appreciated trend in the history of our species: the decline of violence.
Стиль изложения бывает сложным, особенно если речь о колонках, но в обычных информационных статьях — довольно понятный язык, хотя и более сложный, чем в BBC или таблоидах. Есть платная подписка, но даже того объема, который доступен бесплатно, вполне достаточно для того, чтобы быть в курсе событий. Можно установить бесплатное приложение с приятным дополнением в виде еженедельной подборки увлекательных лонгридов. Основной контент — о том, что происходит в Великобритании, но также есть отделы международных новостей. Для доступа к статьям The Telegraph необходимо зарегистрироваться, но можно это сделать через соцсети.
The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное. The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве.
Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала. Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews.
Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки. У немецкой радиостанции Deuche Welle есть сайт на английском языке. В проект Locals входят 9 англоязычных сайтов, каждый из которых освещает события в соответствующей европейской стране.

Paris, France 2006 (In English)
Единственный минус — отсутствие расшифровок подкастов, но это компенсируется мультимедийностью сайта — большинство тем представлены сразу в нескольких форматах — текстовом, видео и аудио. Sky News Частный британский новостной телеканал. На сайте публикуют новостные заметки и короткие видео, в том числе с субтитрами.

Весь контент бесплатный. Минус — прямой эфир телеканала недоступен в России. Fox News, CNN Большая часть контента этих американских медиакорпораций посвящены глобальным и локальным событиям в США и связанным с ними международными вопросами.

Прямой эфир недоступен, есть раздел с видеосюжетами, в том числе с субтитрами. Контент обеих телекомпаний бесплатный, есть мобильные приложения. The New York Times Флагман мировой журналистики. Издание, которое до сих пор задает стандарты работы для журналистов по всему миру. Много внимания уделяется американской и международной политике. Но статьи на общие темы написаны вполне доступно.

But the Council of Ministers is considering a recommendation that the British share should be twenty one point five per cent throughout the five year period of transition, or, alternatively, a contribution of between ten and fifteen per cent in the first year rising to between twenty and twenty five per cent in the fifth year. There have been signs that some European leaders are reluctant to take the present British offer seriously, and it is widely felt in Whitehall that Mr. The pamphlet claims that on balance farmers would be better off if Britain joined the Common Market. In addition, says the Union, the pamphlet fails to mention horticulture, which constitutes an important part of British agriculture, and which is likely to be badly hit in the event of a link-up with the Common Market. The officials said that in their view the pamphlet tended to over-emphasize the benefits of joining the EEC, and to leave out of account many genuine difficulties. Выпуск Новостей Тридцать пять машин столкнулось сегодня утром в большой аварии на дороге Ml. Происшествие случилось примерно в трех милях южнее сервисного центра Ньюпорт Пэгнель, когда грузовик с прицепом, груженный стальными прутьями, завалился на бок и перевернулся. Многие водители грузовиков и автомобилей не смогли вовремя увернуться и врезались в перевернутое транспортное средство, вызвав большое нагромождение машин.
Некоторые стальные прутья сорвались с грузовика через разделительную полосу на южную полосу дороги, которая была закрыта для одностороннего движения из-за ремонта и смены покрытия, что привело к ряду мелких аварий. Поврежденные машины и машины скорой помощи имели значительные трудности из-за тумана при прибытии на место аварии. На месте было очень тесно, и мигающие сигнальные были включены большую часть ночи. Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог.
Simon Baron-Cohen Director of the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge I remain optimistic that for a good proportion of them [people with autism], it has never been a better time to have autism. Because there is a remarkably good fit between the autistic mind and the digital age. For this new generation of children with autism, I anticipate that many of them will find ways to blossom, using their skills with digital technology to find employment, to find friends, and in some cases to innovate. Daniel Dennett Professor of Philosophy, Tufts University, author of Breaking the Spell I expect to live to see the evaporation of the powerful mystique of religion. I think that in about 25 years almost all religions will have evolved into very different phenomena.

Steven Pinker Psychologist, Harvard University, author of The Blank Slate In 16th-century Paris, a popular form of entertainment was cat-burning, in which a cat hoisted on a stage was slowly lowered into a fire. As horrific as present-day events are, such sadism would be unthinkable today in most of the world. This is just one example of the most important and under appreciated trend in the history of our species: the decline of violence. My optimism lies in the hope that the decline of force over the centuries is a real phenomenon, that it is the product of systematic forces that will continue to operate, and that we can identify those forces and perhaps concentrate and bottle them.

Redknapp told the inquiry that it was possible that he did own the horse but insisted that he had not made any money out of it because the horse was a failure and never won a race. The first charge was that payments were made to them by a third company, unrelated to the club and not by the club itself. All six had denied the charge and, eventually, after seven months of "investigation," the charge was dropped. Denos, Manasseh and Berry have admitted the charge but Andrew, Curtis and Mills denied it and requested personal hearings. BBC News. Retrieved 20 September 2006. Retrieved 19 September 2006.
