The historic ban on condoms being advertised on TV

before the 9pm watershed should be scrapped

as part of the drive to reduce spiralling teenage pregnancy rates in the UK,

it will be recommended tomorrow,

as part of a radical shakeup of the rules governing advertising.

 

Pregnancy advisory services should also be permitted

to advertise for the first time on the radio,

under proposals resulting from the first major review

of national advertising codes for nearly 50 years.

 

The bodies responsible for looking after

the advertising codes will ask the public to give their views

on a series of proposed new, simplified advertising standards,

after an 18-month review.

The codes are written  [ présent passif ]

by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP)

and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (Bcap)

Carter Wins Release of American in North Korea

 

The New York Times
August 27, 2010
By CHOE SANG-HUN and SHARON LaFRANIERE

 

SEOUL, South Korea — Former President Jimmy Carter left North Korea on Friday with Aijalon Mahli Gomes,

an American who was sentenced [ prétérit passif ] to eight years of hard labor for illegally entering the country,

the Carter Center said. Mr. Gomes was granted amnesty by the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il,

the Carter Center said in an e-mail. Mr. Gomes, 31, and Mr. Carter boarded a plane at the Pyongyang Airport.

“It is expected  
[ présent passif ]  that Mr. Gomes will be returned [ modal + passif ]

to Boston, Mass., early Friday afternoon,

to be reunited  [ infinitif passif ] with his mother and other members of his family,” the statement said.

Mr. Carter had been visiting Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, on a private humanitarian mission to win the release of Mr. Gomes, who was sentenced in April to eight years in a North Korean prison and fined $700,000 for entering the country illegally. There has also been speculation that North Korea might try to use Mr. Carter as a conduit to ease tensions with the United States.

Mr. Carter had arrived on Wednesday at the invitation of the North Korean government, but it was not known whether he met with Mr. Kim, the North Korean leader.

South Korean officials said Thursday that a special train
[ ellipse : which was ] believed to be carrying Mr. Kim had entered China around midnight on Wednesday, setting off speculation over what might have compelled him to travel to his isolated government’s closest ally while Mr. Carter was visiting.

After watching Mr. Kim’s movements for the past few days, the South Korean authorities said his train had crossed the border with China, traveling from the North Korean town of Manpo to Jian in China, according to an official at the presidential Blue House in Seoul.

Two South Korean intelligence sources who, like the presidential aide, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the matter, said Mr. Kim might be taking his son with him to introduce him formally to Chinese leaders. South Korean news outlets raised the same possibility.

Mr. Kim is grooming his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, as successor, according to South Korean officials. North Korea is to convene a congress of its ruling Workers’ Party early next month, where Mr. Kim is expected
[ présent passif ] to rally popular support for his succession plans.

If confirmed, this would be Mr. Kim’s sixth trip to China, his impoverished country’s largest trading partner and aid provider. His last trip was in May, when he met President Hu Jintao during a five-day visit. North Korea and China usually do not confirm a trip by Mr. Kim until it is over.

News of the possible trip by Mr. Kim led to rampant speculation in South Korea. Possible motives cited by analysts in Seoul included the North’s need for Chinese aid because of flooding and the possibility of a decline in Mr. Kim’s health, which might have forced aides to take him to China for treatment. Many intelligence officials believe Mr. Kim had a stroke in 2008. Around the time that Mr. Kim’s train crossed the border, North Korean news media reported that China would provide emergency flood relief.

With North Korea’s relations with the South and the United States at a low point, “China is the only one Kim Jong-il can go to for aid,” said Kim Keun-sik, an analyst at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. “He badly needs aid before the party meeting to make it a national festival, as it is meant to be.”

Even so, leaving North Korea without meeting Mr. Carter would be a notable breach of diplomatic etiquette, the analyst said. “A possible political message of this is that North Korea gives its priority to China over the United States,” he said.

Mr. Carter was the second former United States president to visit Pyongyang on a humanitarian mission in recent years. In August last year, Bill Clinton met Mr. Kim there and returned with Laura Ling and Euna Lee, two American journalists held there for trespassing in the North.

Mr. Gomes is believed  
[ présent passif ] to have entered North Korea in support of Robert Park, a fellow Christian activist from the United States, who crossed into the country from China in December to call on Mr. Kim to release all political prisoners. Mr. Park was expelled after some 40 days.

Auxiliaire du passif : BE.

 

Comme le verbe BE, l'auxiliaire BE se conjugue,

au présent (singulier : am, are, is, pluriel : are, are, are).

ou au prétérit (was / were).

 

Exemples :

He was [ BE auxiliaire conjugué au prétérit ] rushed

to the hospital a few minutes ago.

 

 

Exceptions :

 

Au present perfect passif (1)

et au past perfect passif (2),

l'auxiliaire BE apparaît sous sa forme participe passé : been.

 

1 - He has been rushed to the hospital.

2 - He had been left for dead.

 

Ces énoncés ont donc chacun deux auxiliaires :

HAVE - conjugué au présent (1) puis au prétérit (2) -

et BE (au participe passé).

 

 

Dans un groupe verbal (GV) modalisé,

l'auxiliaire du passif, BE,

apparaît en base verbale (forme non conjuguée).

 

You could be killed.

It can be said...

It will be done.

 

Rappel :

dans un GV à la forme affirmative,

un modal (will, would, can, could, may, might, shall, should)

est toujours suivi de la base verbale : MOD + BV

Dans un groupe verbal (GV) au passif,

BE auxiliaire, qu'il soit à la base verbale,

est toujours suivi du participe passé du verbe.

 

 

Rappelons qu'il y a deux catégories grammaticales de verbes en anglais :

réguliers et irréguliers.

 

 

Chaque verbe irrégulier a sa propre forme participe passé.

Quelques exemples :

take (base verbale)    took (prétérit)    taken (participe passé)

cut cut cut

run ran run

show showed shown

find found found

 

Exemple :

He

was [ auxiliaire BE conjugué au prétérit ]

shot [ participe passé du verbe irrégulier shoot ].

 

 

Les verbes réguliers

BV + -ED > jail + -ed = jailed

 

Exemple : He was jailed.

 

 

 

 

Five  [  ellipse de BE aux  >  are ] arrested

over fatal stabbing of teenager Zac Olumegbon

 

Boy of 15 was ambushed at the gates of his school in south London,

and fell into the arms of his teacher

Zac Olumegbon, 15, from Brixton Hill in south London,

was confronted  [ prétérit passif ]

by four young men [ complément d'agent ]

at the gates of Park Campus School in West Norwood yesterday morning.

He was stabbed several times and afterwards fell into the arms of his teacher.

He was confirmed dead shortly after arriving at hospital.

Zac's 14-year-old companion ran back to the school to seek safety after the attack,

but was also stabbed in the arm in the school grounds.

He was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

"I am now satisfied this was a planned attack, with four black males arriving in the area in a car,"

said Det Ch Insp McFarlane from the Metropolitan Police Homicide and Serious Crime Command

"Our inquiries have so far led me to believe that a confrontation

took place outside the school involving the two victims and the suspects.

"The victims were chased into Gipsy Road Gardens where,

sadly, the 15-year-old suffered fatal injuries.

"The 14-year-old then ran back to the school to seek safety,

but was attacked in the grounds of the school, suffering minor injuries.

"Following the attack the four males left in the car and headed in the direction of Gipsy Hill."

A local shopkeeper described how Zac fell into the arms of a teacher after the attack.

"She had her hands open but it was too late and he collapsed in her arms," said Saima Sadfdar.

"I was told there were three or four people with a big knife.

Apparently one of the teachers realised something was going on and ran out to help."

She said she knew Zac, who was "no trouble".

Zac's family was too upset to comment but his friends laid flowers near the murder scene.

Leonie Arecha, who said she was a friend of the dead teenager,

laid a bunch of flowers at the spot where he was killed.

An attached card read: "I will always remember you. The good, the bad times no matter what.

I will always miss you and see you when I come up there."

Arecha told the Guardian: "He was my friend.

We called him 'little Zac' and I had known him about a year.

He was funny, I really don't know why he was attacked."

Park Campus was opened two years ago and hailed as the first school of its kind in Britain,

aimed at getting young people back into mainstream education.

Residents said the school had developed a reputation for trouble since it opened.

Rose Gabriel, who lives nearby, said:

"We were kind of expecting something to kick off at some point.

It's a shame it had to happen like this."

All pupils at the school, which has 80 places,

were kept inside for questioning by teachers and police yesterday.

A post-mortem examination will be held [ modal + passif ] at Greenwich Mortuary today.

Zac was the 13th teenager to be killed
[ to
visée -> infinitif passif ] in the capital this year.

Teenager dies after stabbing outside party

 

Monday 8 September 2008
The Guardian
Damien Francis

 

A teenager was stabbed to death in Sheffield after a group of up to 40 people,

some armed with baseball bats and knives, fought outside a 16-year-old girl's birthday party.

Emergency services were called to Rokeby Drive,

Parson Cross, just after 11pm on Saturday.

Witnesses said they saw the victim staggering in the street before he collapsed.

The 18-year-old, named yesterday as Dale Robertson, was taken to hospital,

where he died from his injuries, South Yorkshire police said.

A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old were last night being held on suspicion of murder.

Part of the street remained cordoned off as officers searched gardens and alleyways

close to the murder scene. The police called for witnesses.

A group of tearful youths arrived to place flowers at the scene yesterday afternoon.

One said a fight had begun in the street and had been between rival gangs.

"It all started after a bit of banter and name-calling between the two gangs.

One of them walked off to go home and then they all started fighting.

"About 40 people were involved in the fight - some were carrying baseball bats and knives.

It lasted for about 10 minutes.

At one point two cars came screeching up the street and you could hear them being trashed."

He added that the victim had walked away before collapsing on the ground.

It is understood members of one of the gangs were invited to the party,

but that a rival group turned up without invitation.

A pensioner who called the police said:

"There was a tremendous noise and I saw a lot of men fighting.

I didn't dare go out so I phoned the police.

The next thing I hear, someone has been stabbed."

A 15-year-old boy who died on Monday night in a privately run child jail

was being physically restrained by three adult members of staff

when he lost consciousness, the Guardian has learned.

(...) is believed to be the youngest person in living memory to die not by their own hand in a British penal institution. The teenager, who had only arrived at the Rainsbrook secure training centre, Northamptonshire, run by Group 4, on Friday, to start his 12-month sentence, is believed to have been restrained by two men and a woman in his room.

A full-scale investigation by Northamptonshire detectives has begun and will look at how Gareth "lost consciousness" following "an incident" at Rainsbrook.

"It is too early to determine whether the death is suspicious or not, but this is a very serious matter and we will continue to investigate it thoroughly," a Northamptonshire police spokeswoman said.

The three members of staff directly involved have been moved to other duties at Rainsbrook which do not involve daily contact with the 76 children held there.

Last night Frances Crook, of the Howard League for Penal Reform, called for the suspension of the staff involved, and demanded that the privately run children's jail be closed pending a full investigation of the use of physical restraint.

"This is a unique and shocking case," Ms Crook said. "There must be a full investigation into the use of physical restraint in all penal institutions for children, the prisons, local authority secure units and the private secure training centres."

It is believed that an operations manager at Rainsbrook, who has been exonerated of previous allegations concerning bullying and coercion of children in his care, was not directly involved in the incident but gave Gareth first aid and also accompanied him to hospital.

A statement by the Youth Justice Board this week said the exact cause of the "tragic death" was, as yet, unclear. The statement said: "It is reported that (...) lost consciousness. A duty nurse was called and attempted resuscitation while an ambulance was called. The ambulance arrived at 9.42pm and he was taken to Walsgrave hospital in Coventry where he was pronounced dead at 10.25pm."

A Special Branch detective was stabbed to death by a suspected Al Qaeda terrorist last night. The 40-year-old married man was killed during a raid on a house in Manchester which had been under surveillance for days. Four other officers were wounded as police swooped on a man suspected of masterminding a plot to launch a bio-terror attack on Britain. The raid was linked to the discovery of the deadly poison ricin in London earlier this month. Greater Manchester Police said three men of North African origin had been arrested. The force's Special Branch had been conducting a joint operation with MI5 watching the house in Crumpsall, North Manchester, a rundown area of Victorian houses and modern blocks of flat. It is believed that after police raided the property and 'contained' the suspects, one managed to break away. He grabbed a knife and launched a furious attack on officers, leaving one dying from a chest wound. None of the police had been armed. It was not clear whether the murdered detective, who was married with children, was wearing protective clothing.

Up to 140,000 people are thought to have been killed when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. As many as 80,000 died when a second device exploded in the skies above Nagasaki three days later. It was the first time nuclear weapons had been used to kill people and for almost six decades since, physicists have been laboriously trying to piece together exactly what happened during and in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.

Weapons like the bomb used on Nagasaki were tested after the war, so scientists knew a fair amount about what must have happened there during the blast. But with Hiroshima things were more complex, partly because the bomb dropped there was a one-off - nothing like it was ever used again.

Now, almost 58 years to the day after the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, scientists think they have all the answers they will ever get about events that day. Using recently discovered large-scale Japanese maps from the time, sophisticated computer models and new radiation measurements taken from old lightning rods and guttering, the scientists from Japan and America have completed a painstaking reconstruction of events in Hiroshima.

This is more than mere scientific curiosity. The reconstruction is already being used to better estimate the doses of radiation received by the people who survived the attack. This information is used to set everything from their financial compensation from the Japanese government to safety limits on modern-day exposures to radiation.

In a Japanese census in 1950, some 280,000 people said they had been exposed to radiation from one of the two atomic bombs. The crucial question was: how much? Human exposure to dangerous levels of radiation is extremely rare, so the atomic bomb survivors provide the best evidence of what the effects are. By comparing the radiation doses the survivors received with the illnesses they later developed, scientists try to work out how lower exposures to radiation may trigger cancer. Every time you have an x-ray, for example, the safety data used to set your dose of radiation can be directly traced back to the events at Hiroshima. Likewise for patients receiving radiotherapy and for those people working in nuclear power stations.

    Scientists have finally pieced together exactly what happened when an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, G/G2, p. 13, 31.7.2003.

 

 

 

 

 

Young people in a child jail are being locked in their bedrooms in breach of Home Office rules as a way of controlling them, according to a government inspection report.

Inmates excluded from education are locked alone in a bedroom for the duration of morning or afternoon lessons at the Medway Secure Training Centre, near Rochester.

The report demands an immediate review of "single separation" which the social services inspection team found fell short of acceptable standards.

The child jail is also criticised for failing to tackle criminal attitudes and antisocial behaviour.

Staff are accused of using language that could be seen as offensive to teenagers from ethnic minority backgrounds.

It highlights "coloured" and "half-caste" as words used to describe some young inmates.

Although the report found the staff at the centre were less likely to resort to physical restraint in dealing with disruptive behaviour than in the past,

single separation was being used as a means of control more widely than acceptable under national guidance and regulations.

The Home Office contract stated that young people should be put in their bedrooms only at night between the hours of 9.30pm and 7.30am

or exceptionally when necessary for their own safety, the safety of others or the security of the centre.

The report also found that life at the centre, which is run by Rebound ECD, a subsidiary of Group 4, had been disrupted by management difficulties and high staff turnover.

A social services inspectorate report in 1999 found that excessive force was used to keep order.

Wrist and neck locks were used to control offenders aged 12 to 14

and physical restraint was used by staff 150 times a month.

Condom ads could be screened before 9pm watershed

Watchdogs call for radical shakeup of advertising rules
to stem rise in teenage pregnancies

The historic ban on condoms being advertised on TV before the 9pm watershed should be scrapped as part of the drive to reduce spiralling teenage pregnancy rates in the UK, it will be recommended tomorrow, as part of a radical shakeup of the rules governing advertising.

Pregnancy advisory services should also be permitted to advertise for the first time on the radio, under proposals resulting from the first major review of national advertising codes for nearly 50 years.

The bodies responsible for looking after the advertising codes will ask the public to give their views on a series of proposed new, simplified advertising standards, after an 18-month review. The codes are written by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (Bcap).

Also proposed is enhanced protection of children, through a new restriction to prevent adverts for age-restricted computer and console games appearing around TV programmes likely to appeal to youngsters.

But advertising via digital media such as companies' own websites is not included, because it is subject to the outcome of a separate review. And, controversially, the proposals do not also cover the advertising of alcohol, gambling and junk food to children – each the subject of major recent changes.

Significantly, for the first time, TV and radio adverts will be subjected to an overarching "social responsibility" rule, with explicit requirements to prevent advertisers from making exaggerated and misleading environmental claims.

Based on the established principles that advertisements should be legal, decent, honest and truthful, they are independently administered by the Advertising Standards Authority, which investigates and adjudicates on complaints.

Government figures published last month showed the number of teenage pregnancies in England and Wales had risen for the first time in five years. Conception rates among girls rose from 40.9 per 1,000 in 2006 for those aged 15-17 to 41.9 per 1,000 in 2007.

The consultation document states its intention: "To relax the pre-9pm ban on condom advertising in response to evidence from the Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health and in the light of the UK having the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe." However, it suggests that such advertising should be kept away from the youngest viewers.

Post-conception pregnancy advice services are to be permitted to advertise for the first time on radio, but with the requirement to make clear if they do not refer women for abortion. That information is important because, for those women who opt for it, delay in performing an abortion could result in medical complications.

The condom manufacturer Durex said in a statement last night: "We have consistently made the case for the urgent need for responsible pre-watershed condom advertising on television. We believe very strongly that it is essential to be able to get the right safer sex messages across to the right people at the right time, while ensuring adverts are kept away from the youngest viewers."

Andrew Brown, chairman of CAP and Bcap, said: "The UK advertising codes are widely recognised for setting a high bar for social responsibility. Our priority is to ensure that the rules remain relevant for the future so that consumers can continue to enjoy and trust the ads they see."
