Oscars push for more gender and ethnical diversity

Image
The organisers of the Oscars have invited a record number of new members to vote in next year's Academy Awards, in response to criticism of a lack of diversity at this year's ceremony. Nearly 700 people were invited, with a focus on women and ethnic minorities. Almost half the people who have been asked to join are women and almost as many people of colour. For the second year in a row, all the nominees at February's 88th Academy Awards were white, sparking an outcry. The protests led to an unprecedented debate about racial equality in the film industry - characterised on social media by the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite - and caused several Hollywood stars to boycott the awards ceremony. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences then agreed to a shake up of its membership - traditionally seen as old, white and male - to bring in more women and members of ethnic minorities. The new invitees include actors John Boyega of Star Wars, Emma Watson of Harry...

EU will 'blame' Cameron for Brexit says Radek Sikorski 28 June 2016 Last updated at 09:51 BST European leaders will "blame" the UK Prime Minister David Cameron for Brexit, the former Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski has told BBC HARDtalk. "Everybody will think that he is to blame, because he called an unnecessary referendum," he said. "Yes he tried to win it, but he tried to win it after decades of unfair criticisms of the European Union in his party and under his leadership, and those decades of misinformation to the British public - about how the EU actually works - have now borne fruit," Mr Sikorski added. Prime Minister Cameron will meet European Union leaders to discuss the implications of the Brexit vote and the way forward at an EU summit in Brussels.

Young Leave voters abused online in days after European Union referendum vote

Image
Young Leave voters in the EU referendum have spoken about the abuse they've received online since last week's Brexit vote. Around 52% of voters in the UK voted to leave the EU, but many have been criticised online by Remain voters. Young Leave voters have told Newsbeat that they've been labelled racist and xenophobic for their political views. It has resulted in many Leave voters staying silent on social media for fear of attack and criticism. "The main place I received abuse was on Twitter," 19-year-old Thomas Proudfoot tells Newsbeat. "People were getting quite aggressive towards me when I tweeted about how happy I was that leave won. "I've had the term 'racist' thrown at me a lot as well. "After replying to some of the tweets I just gave up replying in the end. It only caused more arguments." Thomas says he voted for the UK to leave the EU because of the £350m Leave campaigners promised to put into the NHS...

Helium discovery a 'game-changer'

Image
Scientists have discovered a large helium gas field in Tanzania. With world supplies running out, the find is a "game-changer", say geologists at Durham and Oxford universities. Helium is used in hospitals in MRI scanners as well as in spacecraft, telescopes and radiation monitors. Until now, the precious gas has been discovered only in small quantities during oil and gas drilling. Using a new exploration approach, researchers found large quantities of helium within the Tanzanian East African Rift Valley. They say resources in just one part of the Rift valley are enough to fill more than a million medical MRI scanners. Prof Chris Ballentine, of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford, said: "This is a game-changer for the future security of society's helium needs and similar finds in the future may not be far away." And colleague Dr Pete Barry added: 'We can apply this same strategy to other parts of the world with a si...

What is ISLAM ???

 Islam has spread across the entire globe. Muslims can be found in North and South America as well as in Western Europe, but they are predominately found in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Their predominant homelands lie in the area commonly referred to as the “10/40 Window” (between 10 degrees latitudinal north and 40 degrees latitudinal north ranging from the eastern side of North Africa to the western side of Asia). About 60% of Muslims are Asian. The regional breakdown of Muslims in the rest of the world is Arab world, 22%; sub-Sahara African, 12%; Eastern Europe, 5%. The rest are scattered through the world. When did Islam begin, and who founded it? Islam was founded in 610 A.D. by a man named Mohammed. During Mohammed’s time, polytheism reigned. His people were worshipping multiple gods. During one of Mohammed’s trips as a trader, he had a vision from a being he perceived to be an angel who said, “There is only one God, and His name is Allah. Worship Him.” What ...
