RIHANNA IN NUDE PHOTO SCANDAL

Rihanna has become the latest star caught up with boyfriend-issues.
This article is about the nude pictures of Rihanna that were posted online on Friday. Rihanna’s face can clearly be seen in shots that show her stripping for the camera, but other photos show only segments of a woman’s naked body. The most incriminating full-length shot appears to feature the sexy star partially clothed taking a photograph of herself. The messages 'I love you' and 'I miss you' are written on the mirror. The seven pictures led to websites like Imagehaven.net almost crashing as fans stormed the Internet looking for the scandalous photos.
Chris Brown is still facing jail time if he's found guilty of allegedly beating his then-girlfriend and threatening to kill her during the fight.

Reflection

The Media has been all over Chris and Rihanna lately. I find it sad that the Media cannot leave those two human beings alone, just until they have figured this whole situation out for themselves. Rihanna is still recovering from her emotional and physical breakdown. I do not know who is responsible for the photos but the media could save her from another breakdown. I think that the Media should not post her photos, at least not now.

More children on free school meals

There are thousands more children on free school meals in England compared to last. This is because poor families struggle to survive in the recession.
These children get free school meals because their parents receive welfare payments or earn below £15,575 per year. The government said the rise might be because schools had kept a closer check on their records this year compared to last. Jim Knight, the schools minister, said that it was a "top priority" to ensure pupils who are eligible for free school meals receive the support they need.

Reflection

The recession has caused a lot of difficulties for many families all over the world. People that lost their jobs and have children that need money to study. It makes me sad when you think about the fact that you cannot pay for your child’s school meals. On the other hand, it is good that the government supports these families that struggle during the economic recession. But then again, in my viewing, it is their duty to take care of their citizens.

German jailed for 'savage' murder of student

A German office worker was found guilty of the murder of a British man whose girlfriend he had become obsessed with after they met on a website. David Heiss, 21, stabbed Matthew Pyke 86 times in a brutal attack after travelling over from Germany and forcing his way into the couple's flat in Nottingham. Before Pyke died, the court heard that he managed to write the first three letters of his killer, "Dav", on the side of his computer using his own blood. The court heard that Heiss had become infatuated with Pyke's girlfriend Joanna Witton through a war games website the couple ran together from their flat. He began bombarding her with love messages and he visited the couple twice. Finally they blocked him from their website. Just days before the murder, he sent an email to Pyke saying he had "something I would like to give to you."

Reflection

I was really shocked by this article because I am very afraid for such things. These things can happen to anyone of us. This is also one of my reasons that I do not like the internet because there are twisted people around the world. It is also very dangerous to show your address publicly because then it is easy for this person to visit you unannounced. His family will never forget Heiss’ actions because it is not fair to play God and take a beautiful life away. Can you imagine someone stab’s you 86 times? How horrifying is that?

The Holocaust survivor whose savings were seized by the police

A number of police officers are under investigation after allegations that they stole cash or other valuables during an unprecedented police raid on more than 3,000 safe deposit boxes in three security vaults in London last year. Detectives from the Yard's Economic and Specialist Crime Directorate insist Rize has been a substantial success. It lead to 40 arrests for offences ranging from running prostitution rings, money laundering, drug supply, paedophilia, burglary and benefit fraud. After an investigation by The Independent, revealed that nine complaints were made against the officers. The officers treated innocent holders as if they were criminals. When some of the holders got their box back, they discovered that it was not completely.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "A priority for the investigation has been to ensure that where contents are held legitimately, the owners have the contents returned to them as soon as possible."

Reflection

It is very sad to see these things happen in a country like Britain. If you cannot even trust the police, well who can we trust at this moment? The police have authority and power and they used it for wrong reasons. I would think that these things would only happen in countries like; Morocco but never in Britain.
