Benetton Rana Plaza Protests

Protesters chained their hands and necks in Benetton's shop in Oxford Circus in the first anniversary of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh.

The cause is the fall of the clothes factory in Bangladesh that it killed 1,134 people and injuring over 2,500 people. In the ruins there were Benetton labels and the clothes brand didn't want to pay the compensation to the survivors and the families.

There are clothes companies like Primark, which their company is in the Rana Plaza building, and it begun to pay the remunerations to the survivors and families of the victims of the tragedy.

People who protest think that $40 milion dollars would be the compensation that Benetton would have to pay.

Miley Cyrus scandal at the VMA.

Last 25th of August MTV showed the VMA. Miley Cyrus was the protagonist.

She sang her hit "We can't stop" dressed like a bear. Her show was amazing and comparate to the videoclip was moderate, but when Robin Thicke started to sang his hit "Blurred Lines" started the scandal.

Miley Cyrus stripped down her dress and she dressed with a fresh-colored latex bikini. She simulated sex with a foam finger and danced her dance "twerking" in the crotch of Robin Thicke.

Everybody was surprised and "the non-profit parents association" blamed MTV for allowing such an unacceptable and exploitative routine to air.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2402415/Miley-Cyrus-VMAs-Parents-label-performance-sexual-exploitation-20-year-old-tried-shed-Disney-image.html

I agree with the show was too much but I don't think that it was a scandal because there are a lot of artists that do things more heavys than Miley Cyrus.

Due to the economic crisis, many families have to cut back on consuming fresh fuits and vegetables to consume processed foods, because processed foods are cheaper.

The Institute of Fisical Studies said that pensioners, single parents and families are who have suffered the biggest decline in nutritional quality of their diets.

Products such as meat, fruit and diary products increased more than 50% of its price, while processed food only 28%.

In pensioners increased consumption of fatty foods, while in families with children increased consumption of sugary products. 

Linda Cregan, Children's Food Trust chief executive, said that having well-fed children is fundamental to the future of their health, and we look to consume foods with less saturated fat, salt and sugar.

The IFS did a long-term study (1980-2009) which showed that families consumed between 15% and 30% fewe calories but the average weight continued to rise. This was caused by the lack of sport in diets.

Oscar Pistorius case: Top detective brought it

On St. Valentine's day, Mr. Pistorius (26) denied murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp (29).

Ms. Steenkamp died after being shot three times at Mr. Pistorius' home.

Mr. Pistorius has a history of being violent. He is famous for his participation in the paraolympics the last year in London.

At the moment Mr. Pistorius is asking for bail but the prosecution do not want him to have bail just because he is famous. He is dangerous.

In my opinion I agree with the prosecution because if he killed someone he has to stay in the prision.
