      <description>Woolwich: 'Soldier Dead After
 Machete Attack' Weapons litter a blood-stained road in London amid reports a man believed to be a soldier is dead and two people have been shot.A man reported to be serving soldier is dead and two people have been shot in Woolwich, south east London, after armed police were called to a machete attack, eyewitnesses say.

Dozens of weapons - including a number of knives - and pools of blood could be seen on the ground in John Wilson Street, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked.

The  Metropolitan Police  confirmed one person had died following the incident and said the Independent Police Complaints Commission had now taken over the investigation.

Woolwich MP Nick Raynsford told Sky News he believed the deceased was a serving soldier.

 




He said he had spoken to both borough commander Richard Wood and Lieutenant Colonel Bob Christopher at  Royal Artillery Barracks  - which is around a mile from the scene of the attack.

Mr Raynsford said: &quot;One individual is dead, two others are seriously injured and in hospital.

&quot;The circumstances causing the incident are not yet clear. It's been suggested it was the product of a road traffic accident, but that's pure speculation.

&quot;I'll be talking to everyone who is involved, we will be trying to do everything possible to try and ensure calm in the area. People will be very, very shocked.

&quot;We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident.&quot;

Schools in the area have been placed on lockdown.


 
Police were sent to the scene at around 2.20pm. The immediate area has been shut down, with eyewitnesses describing the incident on Twitter as &quot;horrific&quot;.

On its Twitter account, the Metropolitan Police helicopter team called the incident &quot;serious&quot;.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: &quot;We believe at this stage officers were called to reports of an assault.&quot;

London Air Ambulance confirmed one patient was airlifted from the scene, while another was taken away by road ambulance.

The service would not confirm the nature of their injuries or where they were being taken.

      <title>Nightclub Investigated for Installing 2-Way Mirror in Women's Bathroom</title>

      <description>A new nightclub in Scotland is being investigated by police and other Glasgow city officials after a newspaper investigation revealed the club had installed two-way mirrors in its women's bathrooms, exposing the women to viewers in two private rooms. 

The  Scottish Sunday Express   broke the story  this weekend, claiming they've seen photos showing men posing in front of the two-way mirrors, with women using the bathroom behind them. The paper said there were no signs or notifications in the bathroom or club notifying the women they were being watched. 

Several female club-goers interviewed by the paper expressed shock at the revelations. &quot;I find it absolutely outrageous that a club can get away with this, it is a complete invasion of privacy of the unsuspecting girls,&quot; one said. &quot;Nowhere is it made clear that this is the case so when visiting the bathroom for the first time, there are women bending over the sink, pouting into the mirror to redo their lipstick, adjusting themselves whilst unknowingly being watched by people on the other 
side.&quot;

When reporters from the the  Sunday Express  contacted the club posing as potential clients, they were told the the private rooms, which cost over $1200 to rent, were not available to male or mixed gender groups. Photos online reportedly show otherwise.When the  Express  asked the club for official comment, they didn't receive a response.

However, on Monday the Shimmy Club  responded  to the growing controversy on their Facebook page, saying the two-way mirror was &quot;created as a bit of fun, an interactive feature which we  hoped would act as a talking point.&quot; As for those offended by the concept, the club writes, &quot;its (sic) clear that those who are negatively commenting on line may not have been lucky enough to get past the door staff yet.&quot; The club did, however, say they would remove the mirrors &quot;if your feedback (and not that of the media) is that you want the mirror area to change.&quot;

Those changes, if they do happen, might occur too late for the club to avoid legal trouble;  The Guardian   reports  that Scottish police and and Glasgow city council are investigating the club after receiving complaints.</description>

      <title>Apple Avoids Paying $17 Million In Taxes Every Day Through A Ballsy But Genius Tax Avoidance Scheme</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 22:35:55 -0400</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9f0_1369189880</link>

      <description>1. Almost all of Apple's foreign operations are run through an Irish company with no employees. 

The company told investigators that it lost all records concerning why Apple Operations International was originally set up in 1980, and why all of Apple global sales go through it. You might have a few ideas why if you keep reading.

 2. Apple pays 2%-or less-in corporate income tax in Ireland. 

The already low-tax country gives Apple special treatment with a negotiated 2% income tax rate. But that's just the top-line number: Between 2009 and 2011, one Irish subsidiary, Apple Sales International, earned $38 billion and paid $21 million in taxes, for an effective rate of .06%.

 3. Apple Operations International, which provided 30% of Apple's worldwide net profits from 2009 to 2011, doesn't pay taxes anywhere. 

This move is devilishly brilliant: The US decides if it can tax you based on where you incorporate your company. Ireland decides if it can tax you based on the location of the people managing the company. So if you incorporate a subsidiary in Ireland, and manage it from the US, you don't (so far) have to pay taxes in either country. And that's exactly what Apple has done, not filing a tax return for AOI anywhere in the world in the last five years.

 4. Apple's US profits keep ending up in Ireland, too.  

The report alleges more than just the avoidance of US taxes on foreign sales of Apple's products. It also argues that Apple is effectively sending US profits to its Irish subsidiaries, too. How? Transfer pricing. Apple has set up a cost-sharing agreement with its Irish subsidiaries that gives them a disproportionate share of the profit from research and development that occurs in the United States. From 2009 to 2012, Apple allocated $4 billion in R&amp;amp;D costs to its US unit, which had $38.7 billion in profits, while its Irish subsidiary had $4.9 billion in R&amp;amp;D costs-and $74 billion in profits.

 5. Most of the $102 billion Apple is keeping &quot;overseas&quot; is in US banks. 

Just as its Irish companies are managed by US employees, Apple's Irish cash is mostly kept in US financial institutions, largely managed by Braeburn Capital, Apple's financial engineering nexus in Nevada.

 6. The magic of &quot;check-the-box&quot; makes whole companies disappear 

One of the most favored tax loop-holes for multinationals is known as &quot;check-the-box.&quot; It allows companies to instruct the government to completely disregard certain foreign subsidiaries for tax purposes. Apple's main Irish subsidiary, AOI, checks the box for its entire global distribution network. This allowed the company to avoid paying $12.5 billion in taxes that would have been assessed for foreign sales by its network of global distributors.

 7. Apple is seemingly terrible at estimating its own taxes 

In annual reports between 2009 and 2011, the company told investors it was setting aside $13.7 billion to pay federal taxes-but it has actually paid only $5.3 billion. Those set-asides are only advance estimates, but it's pretty strange that each year they're off by many billions of dollars. As a result, Apple's actual US tax rate is only 20.1%, much lower than the 24% to 32% it said it was paying. Absent this congressional investigation, we wouldn't know the difference.

 Apple Sales International (ASI) is a second Irish affiliate.  It is the repository for all of Apple's offshore intellectual property rights. 

ASI buys Apple's finished products from contracted manufacturers in China - think Foxconn - and resells them at a major markup to other Apple affiliates in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India and the Pacific.
Although ASI is an Irish incorporated entity and the purchaser of the goods, only a small percentage of Apple's manufactured products ever entered Ireland.
 
Upon arrival, the products were resold by ASI to the Apple distribution affiliate that took ownership of the goods. 

Before 2012, ASI had no employees despite $38 billion in income over three years.
Apple's cost sharing arrangement facilitated the shift of $74 billion in worldwide profits away from the United States from 2009 to 2012.

ASI's parent company is Apple Operations Europe Inc. Together they own the intellectual property rights to Apple goods sold offshore.

Like AOI, ASI claims to be a tax resident of nowhere. It's not obligated to pay taxes to any nation. 
Apple Sales International pays very, very little in global taxes:

 Here's Who Pays the Bill for Apple's Tax Avoidance 

The victims, meanwhile, are ordinary taxpayers who fund most of the federal government. During the 1950s, individual income taxes typically accounted for about 60% of the government's tax revenue, with corporate taxes covering the other 40 percent. By 1970 individuals paid 73% of all taxes. By 1990 it was 83 percent, with the peak coming in 2009, when corporations claimed steep losses and individuals paid 87% of all taxes. By 2012, that had drifted down to 82%, with corporations paying 18%.

      <title>Canadian teen missing for over two weeks in Mexico</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 21:53:20 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>This is actually my friends buddy , and its kinda sad but realistically not many ppl are found once they go missing in mexico. 

The family of a missing B.C. man worries that he and his friend have 
been kidnapped after disappearing from a Mexican resort almost two weeks
 ago.

	Canadian Diego Hernandez, a 22-year-old martial arts instructor, and 
his American friend, Craig Silva, went missing from Puerto Vallarta on 
May 8, just two days after Hernandez organized a mixed martial arts 
sporting event in the city. They have not been seen or heard from since.

	The mother of the missing Canadian, now in Puerto Vallarta, believes her son was kidnapped.They're both martial arts instructors, they're disciplined 
individuals,&quot; Hernandez's mother Melissa Canez told The Canadian Press 
on Monday.

	Canez says she has seen surveillance video that shows Hernandez withdrawing cash at an ATM flanked by two masked men.

	According to Canez, Hernandez was also approached before the event by a person who wanted a cut of his earnings.

	&quot;I was terrified,&quot; she told AP. &quot;I said to him, 'You can't say no to 
those people...I think you should leave, like get on the plane right now.&quot;

	The pair was last seen in Silva's truck, a black 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, which has since been recovered by police.

	Local Mexican newspaper Noticias PV says Puerto Vallarta's director of 
public safety, Silvestre Chavez, has launched an investigation.

	&quot;The police in Mexico and the Embassy are taking this seriously and 
working on getting records but at this time it appears to be a random 
kidnapping,&quot; the moderator of a Facebook group set up to collect tips 
about the pair's whereabouts wrote on May 12.

	Taking to Facebook on May 16, Silva's sister begged her brother's potential captors to &quot;just let him go.&quot;

	&quot;This is the breaking point,&quot; she wrote on the group's Facebook page. 
&quot;Please if anyone out there knows where my brother is -- or if you have 
him. Please just let him go. Craig is my baby brother. I just want him 
back safely. I don't care why you have him or who you are, I just want 
Craig back safe. Please. If you love your own family: brother or sister 
or son, try to imagine how we feel and send him home to us safely.&quot;The plea was posted a day after Mother's Day, the &quot;very first&quot; time the 
missing American man &quot;did not tell me how much he loves me,&quot; wrote 
Silva's mother on Facebook. &quot;This pain will not go away and I will not 
rest until I can hear those words again. I love you Craig.&quot;</description>

      <title>Media being denied FOI requests</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 19:59:03 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Media being denied FOI requests for materials in David Gregory's ammo magazine case
				
				


						
							
							
						
						
							
						
				
					
						
							If there is one lesson I have learned over my decade and a half 
at Judicial Watch, it is this: you must never overestimate the hypocrisy
 of the Left--especially in covering for their own. 



Lest you have even the slightest doubt, cast an eye to the outrageous 
behavior of District of Columbia Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan when 
he allowed NBC-TV's David Gregory to walk away scot free for a firearm 
offense, even while openly acknowledging &quot;the clarity of the violation 
of the law.&quot;



We don't know for certain what prompted Nathan to decline to prosecute 
Gregory. We do know that, according to the Washington Post, until the 
Republican sweep in 2010, he had been the House Democrats' top lawyer. 
We also know that he was appointed attorney general by D.C. Democrat 
Mayor Vincent Gray. And we know that some legal experts have questioned 
why Nathan did not recuse himself from the case when it was discovered 
that he had a personal relationship with David Gregory's wife. Clearly 
more information was required.



On January 14, 2013, William A. Jacobson, founder and author of the 
outstanding blog website, Legal Insurrection, submitted a District of 
Columbia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the D.C. 
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and Office of the Attorney General 
(OAG) seeking access to the following records:



  1.  The January 9, 2013 letter from Lee Levine on behalf of David 
Gregory, referenced in the letter datedJanuary 11, 2013 from Attorney 
General Irvin B. Nathan to Mr. Levine which was publicly disclosed on 
that date.



  2.  All communications between the District of Columbia Office of 
Attorney General and/or Metropolitan Police Department, on the one hand,
 and legal counsel for David Gregory and/or NBC News, on the other hand,
 with regard to the incident involving the display on television by Mr. 
Gregory of an alleged high-capacity ammunition clip (the &quot;Gregory 
incident&quot;).



 3.  All documents in the possession of the MPD and OAG regarding the 
Gregory incident, to the extent not exempted from disclosure under 
applicable law,  including but not limited to witness statements, 
evidence review and possession records, interview notes, and forensic 
testing.



On February 20, 2013, OAG informed Jacobson that it was withholding 
certain requested records, including the January 9, 2013, letter from 
NBC attorney Lee Levine, as well as responsive emails between OAG and 
MPD. (We just learned the letter from Levine was made available to the 
media, but is being withheld from us!)



The OAG also withheld in their entirety an affidavit and a warrant 
responsive to the Jacobson FOIA request. On April 17, 2013, MPD informed
 Jacobson that it was withholding responsive records as well. This past 
week, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit on Jacobson's behalf asking 
that the Court to declare OAG and MDP in violation of the law and to 
order them to produce the records without further delay.



The known facts in the Gregory case are simple. On Sunday December 23, 
2012, the &quot;Meet the Press&quot; host interviewed the National Rifle 
Association's Wayne LaPierre concerning firearms policy in the United 
States. During the course of the interview, Gregory exhibited a 
high-capacity ammunition clip. The possession of such an ammunition clip
 is in violation of the law of the District of Columbia. 



Gregory displayed the ammunition clip despite the fact that, according 
to the D.C. Office of the Attorney General,&quot;NBC was clearly and timely 
advised by an MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) employee that its 
plans to exhibit on the broadcast a high capacity magazine would violate
 D.C. law, and there was no contrary advice from any other federal 
official.&quot;



Some argued that, in accordance with D.C. law, Gregory should have been 
charged with a weapons violation and taken into custody, as other 
alleged offenders have been. The MPD failed to do so, however, and in 
early January announced that it had completed its two-week investigation
 and presented the case to the OAG &quot;for a determination of the 
prosecutorial merit of the case.&quot;



On January 11, 2013, after just two days of deliberation, Attorney 
General Nathan sent a letter to NBC saying that his office would not 
prosecute Gregory, &quot;despite the clarity of the violation of this 
important law.&quot; The Attorney General added, &quot;There is no doubt of the 
gravity of the illegal conduct in this matter...&quot;



Yet, in what surely must be one of the most glaring non sequiturs I've 
seen, Nathan then refused to prosecute Gregory. And the Washington 
Times' outstanding editorialist Emily Miller well summed up the 
absurdity of the situation when Gregory first committed his violation:



The District came up with its overly restrictive laws in response to the
 Supreme Court overturning the capital city's 30-year gun ban. The 
statutes shouldn't apply just to regular people but to the rich and 
powerful as well. The District should either repeal its over-the-top 
restrictions or send a squad car to take David Gregory into custody.



The way Gregory's prosecution decision was handled undermines confidence
 in the fair administration of justice.  If Gregory shouldn't be 
prosecuted then no one should be - and the law should be rescinded.  Our
 client Prof. Jacobsen also is seeking justice in the public interest:



&quot;The documents being withheld will help shed light on the details of 
this highly publicized non-prosecution, which raised issues as to 
whether well-connected and famous D.C. insiders were treated as any 
other citizen in a similar situation.  I appreciate Judicial Watch 
assisting in this search for the truth.&quot;



Let's hope the courts put an end to this cover-up.

      <description>Police detain Munib Farhat, A Muslim from Majd al-Krum (N.Israel) suspected of running abusive sect, allegedly subjugated 6 families to his will, forced parents to treat children violently.

Woman who left the cult of Majd al-Krum says leader sexually assaulted members, smeared feces on kids. 'When I screamed he threatened to murder me,' she tells Ynet -
&quot;He attacked the women and children, kept women locked in the shower for hours and took our paychecks,&quot; said a woman who was a member of a violent cult allegedly led by 56-year-old Munib Farhat in the Galilee community of Majd al-Krum.


Farhat was arrested on Tuesday by Northern District Police after a month-long investigation following a complaint by a 46 year-old member of the cult who managed to escape. He was remanded for eight days.
Police suspect the leader had ordered his followers to act violently toward their children, in the name of &quot;proper&quot; education. The violent cult consisted of 11 adults and 25 children.

The man is also accused of sexually assaulting several of the women in the group and abusing both the women and children. Among other things, the cult leader allegedly locked the children in the bathroom, smeared feces on their mouths and rationed their food. Farhat has denied the allegations.


&quot;Farhat told us he was a religious man and could solve any financial, social and family-related problem,&quot; the woman who filed the complaint told Ynet. &quot;He also convinced us to turn over our paychecks at the end of each month and said if we wanted to purchase anything we should ask him (for money).&quot;
According to the woman, the cult leader opened a small store in his home &quot;and he forced us to shop only there. Sometimes we would ask him for money to buy food for the house, and he would give us 50 shekels ($14) and tell us that was enough. He also never agreed to give the children any money. He stole our all of our funds.&quot;

The complainant's brother said she told him the abuse, assault and sexual exploitation went on for years.

The woman further told Ynet that &quot;at first we believed (Farhat) and thought he wanted to help us, but everything changed over the past few years. He attacked women and children; forced them to clean the house and cultivate the land without any compensation. Any woman who objected was attacked and locked in the shower or stockroom for more than seven hours.
&quot;He brutally attacked me several times - stepped on my neck, hit me all over by body and locked me up in the stockroom with the mice. When I screamed he threatened to murder me. I did not seek medical care because I was afraid he would hurt me if he found out,&quot; she recalled.

The woman said that as soon as she left the cult and complained against Farhat, he turned her family against her. &quot;My husband and three children are no longer in touch with me and believe that the cult leader's way is the right one. I hope we will live together again - far away from this horrific story,&quot; the woman said.

      <title>5 more assadist terrorists arrested in connection with Reyhanli attack</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 18:35:22 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Five suspects were arrested
 late on Monday in connection with the car bombings that killed 51 
people in a town near the Syrian border on May 11, bringing the total 
number of those arrested to 12.
							
							
										
								   Last week, seven suspects were arrested in connection with the attack.


On May 11, one car bomb exploded outside the town hall, while another
 went off outside a post office in Reyhanli, a main hub for Syrian 
refugees and opposition activity in Hatay. Fifty-one people were killed 
and as many as 100 were injured in the bombings.
On Monday morning, six suspects detained in the aftermath of the 
attack were referred to prosecutors at the Adana Courthouse for 
interrogation. At the end of the questioning, the prosecutors decided to
 release one of the suspects while the remaining five were arrested.
Among the suspects arrested on Monday is Mehmet G., who was captured 
by the Hatay police last week. Mehmet G. is said to be the owner of the 
two vehicles that were blown up in the attack and allegedly carried out 
the deadly bombings, too. He is reportedly Turkish and comes from Hatay.
In remarks to reporters on Tuesday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip 
Erdogan said he expects &quot;all connections of the perpetrators of the 
Reyhanli attack to be discovered soon.&quot;
&quot;Twelve of the 18 suspects detained so far have been arrested. 
Initial information suggests that they are the main perpetrators in the 
attack,&quot; he said, adding that the ongoing investigation into the attack 
will shed light on all of the assailants' connections, including which 
organization or state they were supported by.
Interior Minister Muammer G&quot;uler said the police are working to find 
three other suspects in connection with the Reyhanli bombings. The 
suspects are believed to have rented a warehouse in which to hide the 
bomb-laden vehicles and to have smuggled the explosives into Turkey.
Hatay Governor Mehmet Celalettin Lekesiz spoke to reporters about the
 ongoing investigation into the attack and said that 18 people have been
 detained so far in connection with it. &quot;Security forces are carrying on
 their careful, detailed investigation,&quot; he stated and added that the 
police are working to capture additional suspects.
According to the governor, those detained and the suspects on the run
 are Turkish citizens. &quot;They are not Syrian citizens or Syrian refugees 
who are being hosted in our country,&quot; he stated. There were earlier 
claims that some Syrian refugees had been involved in the bomb attacks 
in Reyhanli.
Lekesiz added that the remains of 50 victims killed in the attack 
have been returned to their families and buried. &quot;Efforts are ongoing to
 determine the identity of one remaining victim,&quot; he said, adding that 
the victim had suffered serious burns in the explosions, making it hard 
to identity him. According to the governor, five of the 51 killed were 
Syrian refugees.
Also on Monday, the Hatay Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced 
that an investigation had been launched into public officials who are 
suspected of being negligent in preventing the Reyhanli bombings. &quot;The 
investigation is being handled by our prosecutor's office,&quot; the office 
said, but did not elaborate on who is being investigated.
In the aftermath of the attack, claims were raised that the police 
force and the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) did not fulfill 
their responsibilities to prevent the bombings from taking place.
Suspect says he met with Ural in Syria
Details continue to emerge in the testimonies of the captured suspects questioned by police and prosecutors over the past week.


The Star daily wrote on Monday that one of the suspects, identified 
as Yusuf N., told prosecutors that he had met with Mihrac Ural, the 
leader of the Acilciler, a splinter faction of the Turkish People's 
Liberation Party/Front (THKP-C) that operates in the border provinces of
 Turkey, four or five times in the Syrian coastal city of Latakia in 
late 2012.
&quot;Everything began with my visit to Syria with Yusuf B.   in September of 2012. Yusuf B. helped me
 meet with   Ural four or five times in Latakia,&quot; Yusuf N. told 
prosecutors.
Some police sources say the order for the bombings came from Ural, 
who is from Turkey but lives in Syria. Ural is a long-time fugitive 
wanted by Turkish law enforcement agencies. He commanded a large-scale 
massacre committed by Syrian regime forces in Banias, a predominantly 
Sunni city on the Mediterranean coast of Syria.
Being a leader of the THKP-C and its deadly splinter faction, 
Acilciler, which was established in the 1970s, Ural is also remembered 
as a figure who initiated anti-Turkey meetings in the southern province 
of Hatay last year. He is also reported to have led an armed group 
called Resistance inside Syria. He left Turkey for Syria after the 1980 
coup d''etat and is reported to have close ties with Syrian intelligence 
agency al-Mukhabarat, which helped him obtain Syrian citizenship.
Yusuf N. also told prosecutors that he met with some high-ranking 
officers from the Syrian army, and the order for the Reyhanli attack had
 been conveyed to him by a Syrian army officer. According to the 
suspect, the attackers' initial targets were a mosque and shopping 
center in Ankara, but their plan was revised a week before the attack. 
&quot;We were told to carry out the attack in Hatay,&quot; he stated. &quot;Nasir E. 
  gathered us for a meeting three days 
before the attack. He said we had started down a path from which we 
could not turn back. He ordered us to swear that we would not turn back.
 Then we sacrificed a rooster and promised   that we would be 
successful in the attack,&quot; Yusuf N. added.

      <title>Hillsborough: BBC Panorama report shows evidence was true</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 15:35:19 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>A BBC Panorama investigation broadcast on Monday showed that evidence previously undermined was true
          
            
           Evidence into the Hillsborough disaster that was undermined at the original inquest has been found to be true,  BBC Panorama has found . 


An account of the events from an off-duty police officer has always 
said that he attempted to treat a dying boy at which time the Coroner 
said no one could have survived.
At this point, doubt was cast on medical evidence that supports the 
idea that people could not have survived past 15.15 on that fateful day.
TV footage of his account that was broadcasted through Panorama shows clearly that his account of details was true.


On April 15 1989, 96 football fans were crushed to death during the 
FA cup semi-final clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at 
Sheffield Wednesday's home ground.
After the inquest at the time determined that the verdict of deaths 
was accidental, the High Court overlooked the verdicts and requested a 
fresh inquest should take place.
After TV footage emerged by Panorama of the response of the emergency
 services on that day shows that the death toll could have been much 
lower.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel's report shows that if the victims
 were given proper treatment more than half of the fans that lost their 
lives may have had a chance of survival.
Merseyside Police Constable Derek Bruder, who was off-duty on the 
day, tried to resuscitate 15-year-old Kevin Williams but this evidence 
was undermined at the inquest.
The BBC Sport cameras and a news team recorded the Hillsborough disaster, while the police had CCTV and a mobile camera unit.


The footage was later released to police and the families' lawyers but the excuse of it being too distressing for broadcast.


Twenty-four later Panorama was able to analyse it.


The footage clearly shows that much of what took place at Hillsbrough
 could have been prevented. It showed that there were warning signs from
 the start.</description>

      <title>FBI Called A Fox News Reporter A 'Co-Conspirator' In A Leak &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Investigation&lt;/span&gt;</title>

      <description>The Kim case began in June 2009, when Rosen reported that U.S. intelligence officials were warning that North Korea was likely to respond to United Nations sanctions with more nuclear tests. The CIA had learned the information, Rosen wrote, from sources inside North Korea.

The story was published online the same day that a top-secret report was made available to a small circle within the intelligence community - including Kim, who at the time was a State Department arms expert with security clearance.

FBI investigators used the security-badge data, phone records and e-mail exchanges to build a case that Kim shared the report with Rosen soon after receiving it, court records show.

In the documents, FBI agent Reginald Reyes described in detail how Kim and Rosen moved in and out of the State Department headquarters at 2201 C St. NW a few hours before the story was published on June 11, 2009.

&quot;Mr. Kim departed DoS at or around 12:02 p.m. followed shortly thereafter by the reporter at or around 12:03 p.m.,&quot; Reyes wrote. Next, the agent said, &quot;Mr. Kim returned to DoS at or around 12:26 p.m. followed shortly thereafter by the reporter at or around 12:30 p.m.&quot;

The activity, Reyes wrote in an affidavit, suggested a &quot;face-to-face&quot; meeting between the two men. &quot;Within a few hours after those nearly simultaneous exits and entries at DoS, the June 2009 article was published on the Internet,&quot; he wrote.

The court documents don't name Rosen, but his identity was confirmed by several officials, and he is the author of the article at the center of the investigation. Rosen and a spokeswoman for Fox News did not return phone and e-mail messages seeking comment.

Reyes wrote that there was evidence Rosen had broken the law, &quot;at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator.&quot; That fact distinguishes his case from the probe of the AP, in which the news organization is not the likely target.

Using italics for emphasis, Reyes explained how Rosen allegedly used a &quot;covert communications plan&quot; and quoted from an e-mail exchange between Rosen and Kim that seems to describe a secret system for passing along information.

In the exchange, Rosen used the alias &quot;Leo&quot; to address Kim and called himself &quot;Alex,&quot; an apparent reference to Alexander Butterfield, the man best known for running the secret recording system in the Nixon White House, according to the affidavit.

Rosen instructed Kim to send him coded signals on his Google account, according to a quote from his e-mail in the affidavit: &quot;One asterisk means to contact them, or that previously suggested plans for communication are to proceed as agreed; two asterisks means the opposite.&quot;

He also wrote, according to the affidavit: &quot;What I am interested in, as you might expect, is breaking news ahead of my competitors&quot; including &quot;what intelligence is picking up.&quot; And: &quot;I'd love to see some internal State Department analyses.&quot;

Court documents show abundant evidence gathered from Kim's office computer and phone records, but investigators said they needed to go a step further to build their case, seizing two days' worth of Rosen's personal e-mails - and all of his e-mail exchanges with Kim.

Privacy protections limit searching or seizing a reporter's work, but not when there is evidence that the journalist broke the law against unauthorized leaks. A federal judge signed off on the search warrant - agreeing that there was probable cause that Rosen was a co-conspirator.

      <description>

By  Rachel Rose Hartman 
It seems we didn't know the whole story about what the White House knew when about the Internal Revenue Service's improper targeting of conservatives. And neither did the White House spokesman.

White House press secretary Jay Carney revealed during Monday's briefing that in addition to White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough &quot;and other members of the senior staff&quot; were made aware of the Treasury inspector general's report on the IRS before its release and the president was not.

Ruemmler did not receive a draft of the report but was informed of its contents on April 24, and she informed McDonough and other staff-whom Carney declined to identify. The information was not shared with President Barack Obama, who says he first learned of the IRS conduct from news reports on May 10. The final report was released on May 14.

When pressed to explain why he didn't previously share this information with the press, Carney responded that this also was new information to him.

&quot;I think that I said I didn't know until Friday,&quot; Carney said, referring to May 17.

Carney spent the majority of Monday's briefing answering questions about the IRS controversy, which the White House had attempted to tamp down over the weekend by sending senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer on the Sunday morning news shows.

Carney defended the decision by staff not to share information about the report with the president, saying the president could not have acted on the report even if he was aware.

Carney also suggested that scrutiny over how quickly the White House reacted are baseless.

&quot;Despite all the media interest in our April 2013 awareness, it's important to remember that the misconduct of course had stopped almost a year earlier,&quot; Carney said. He noted that House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa also was made aware previously of the report and chose not to respond because it would have been improper to do so in the middle of an investigation.
