Jo suspect on suicide watch in tough jail.

The man suspected for the murder of Jo Yeates was placed in jail at the department for suicide prevention.The Netherlands-born Vincent Tabak is guarded throughout the day in Long Lartinprison, where he was remanded in custody. They check him every 30 minutes and they stay with him where ever he goes. Mr. Tabak was accused of murder last Saturday on Jo Yeates and was sent to the Bristol Horfield prison. Because of the high-profile case, they moved him out of town for his own safety. He has to appear at Court on Monday again but his trial will take months. Family in the Netherlands protest against this.


reaction:
I read about this case earlier and at that moment they did not know anything about the murderer. They had a lot of tips and things they were searching on. I find it strange that a verdict can take that long. Sometimes they do not even have to be in jail during that time. In this case he must stay in jail, until they prove his innocence. I hope this is the perpetrator so Jo’s family can finally have their peace. And the officer like he said got his case like he wanted it.

THE King's Speech leads the British charge at this year's Oscars - with TWELVE nominations, it was announced yesterday.

Colin Firth, a film star in the movie The King’s speech, is chosen for the Best Actor title for his portrayal of stuttering monarch George VI. Firth, had already scooped 22 gongs for the role, including a Golden Globe and has yet to land an Academy Award. His co-stars were also nominated for their supporting roles. We know Firth already for playing Mr. Darcy in BBC’s Pride and Prejudice. The movie costs 9 million to make and is nominated for categories including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay. Firth’s rivals in the Best Actor category are Javier Bardem, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Zuckerberg and James Franco. But it seems Flirth is going to walk away with it after his astounding performance in the King’s Speech.

Reaction:
I did not know this man was so famous. Of course I saw him in a couple of movies, but you did not hear anything about him besides that. You can see it as a good sign, he does his work and goes home and keeps that totally separated. This instead of those who wants to be in the news all the time. I know him form Bridget Jones Diary’s I guess. His face is familiar to me, but I did not know his name. Nice to see that actors can be just on the background too.

Let's go.. swapping!

Fashion mania: Stop shopping start Shwopping. It does not only save money, but it is also green and stylish. Clothes-swap events and websites are seeing a huge increase in numbers of people (woman) exchange their unwanted gifts for clothes they do want. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have started a campaign to “shwop” unwanted gifts, not-loved or once-loved clothes. This will be the new trend: clothes with high-street and vintage finds for a cool, modern style. Singer Florence, DJ fearn Cotton and TV host Elexa Chung are big fans of the trend. Start Shwopping!

Reaction:
Fashion is very important for the humankind. It kind of makes people feel better if they have nicer clothes. I find it a good campaign which they started. People should be more aware about the things they got or what they don’t got. And if they do not like it, they can make other people happy with it.

Ramsey: I’m gunner be back

The wales star Aaron Ramsey joined the championship promotion for a month. He broke his leg last February and returned to action in November. To get fit again he spent four weeks on loan with Nottingham Forest but because of the bad weather he just showed up five times on city ground. But Ramsey is confident and said that if he will play some more games on loan he will get back in shape quicker and that means also quicker into the Arsenal team as well. He really worked hard to get fitter and to go back playing regularly. He just want to get back into the swing of things, feeling the atmosphere.


Reaction:
I do not watch sport or read about sport very often, but to get a little bit variation into my blogs I thought why not. But I must confess that I searched some information about the guy after I read the article. I did not know anything about him or what his performance were. It is a young football player, only 20, who broke his leg. That is really sad in his early career. He is just about to break through and than something like this happens. He had to rehabilitate and practice a lot to get into shape again.

A rubbish New Year for millions as cuts mean more waste mountains

Over flowing bin bags in alley’s are becoming the image. Thousands of families are having to cope with the misery of monstrous mountains of waste, which have increased over Christmas. This sight will be become more familiar because of the strindent Condem cuts. Also the heavy snowfall in mid-December caused problems, some services were inoperative and they never used extra rounds. In some cities householder have been without bin collections for three weeks and they take their own rubbish to local tips. There are discussions on that is disappointing that people don’t get the service they pay for but there is also found that 48% of local government fincance chiefs expect to have to cut rubbish collections budgets to save money.


Reaction:
I think this is a funny story that local municipalities want to spare money by leaving waste on the street. Eventually you get some very dirty towns and cities. I have been in the south of Italy and I drove through gardens and cities filled with waste. Along the road lay waste and it give the whole area a sad look. Not only sad, but dirty, old and worn. I can not imagine that you want your town or village to look like that. Then they can better cut back on something else. That the human kind elaborates a lot of waste is clear.

TRAGIC Joanna Yeates may have been murdered by more than one attacker, police say.

The Murder on Joanna Yeats is not resolved yet. The officer who is on charge says there will be no stone left unturned until they brought Jo’s killers to justice. His 70 officers were sifting through 1300 tips and scraps of information. On the night Jo was vanished there is seen a light-coloured 4x4 and they’ve been hunting that since. The officer keeps open mind which means he doesn’t make any assumption about this case. They think that Jo may have been murdered by more than one attacker but there is no evidence found that she was sexually assaulted. Which does not mean there may have been a sexual motive.

Reaction:
It is a difficult subject. Many of these cases are never solved. The officer clearly says that he will not rest until he has discharged the case. I sometimes think about these kind of cases when I’m on my way home through the park. There was a girl raped before in that park. Should I be scared? Most of the time I try to push does thoughts away, you just scare yourself. But if you see, it can happen to anyone and at any time.. There are enough lunatics in the world which we don’t know of.

Politician's family photo captures 'killer gunman'

Filipino councillor Reynaldo Dagsa was shot on New Year’s eve while he was making a picture of his own family. They were outside of their house in Manila and the man was making a picture of his wife, daughter and mother-in-law. That’s what he thought, but Mr. Dagsa accidentally captured his own killer. The photo revealed a man aiming a gun from behind the smiling family. The family did not noticed and hear anything because fireworks were exploding all around them. There was just to much noise and they only saw Mr. Dagsa falling to the ground afther he was hit. The family gave the police the photo and the man who was identified as the gunman was arrested yesterday.

Reaction:
I think it is a really funny story, ofcourse not that Mr. Dagsa is killed but that the killer made his own evidence. You see often that this kind of murders not get solved and in this case the murdered man solved his own delict. There is no better evidence than a picture of the person right on the face. Ofcourse the gun is in front of his head, but you can see the eyes of the man and that he has a gun who is pointing directly into the camera. There will be no killers anymore who will kill someone who is having a photocamera or something like it.
