Stopped 60 times, never arrested

Article Abstract:

It is easy for black people in the UK to gain a very negative impression of the police, according to Oluwa Kubweza, who is frequently stopped and questioned by the police, even though the police have no reason at all for suspecting him of having committed a crime. He now finds it hard to regard police officers as real people. He does not feel that there is any point in making a complaint about the way in which he has been treated. He has decided that it is best to simply tolerate being stopped, saying as little as possible and avoiding conflict.

Secret war still claims lives in Laos; twenty-five years after US raids stopped, unexploded bombs continue to kill and maim

Article Abstract:

Millions of bombs were dropped on Laos during this country's conflict with the US in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was allied with Ho Chi Minh's Vietnamese. Large numbers of these bombs remain unexploded, and they present a very serious hazard for local people. There are particularly large numbers in the country's remote north-eastern Huap Han Province, where bombs still kill one person every other day. The UK's Mines Advisory Group is now working with British forces veterans to detect and destroy the bombs.

Her heart stopped. So did mine

Article Abstract:

Reflex anoxic seizure (RAS) or Stephenson's seizure is a rare condition which can occur in infants. Pain causes the heart to stop, the eyes to roll and colour to drain from the face as the child has a convulsion and may remain unconscious for an hour. The fast faint is followed by a seizure similar to epilepsy. The drug atropine methonitrate helps but there is no cure. Sufferers are often of above average intelligence. Most children grow out of RAS.
