Punk Britannia: Part 2 - Punk 1976-78
Three-part series about the history of punk. Daydreaming England was about to be rudely awakened as punk emerged from the London underground scene and a nation dropped its dinner in its lap when the Sex Pistols swore on primetime television. Punk had finally found its enemy - the establishment. It began to extend its three-chord vocabulary through an alliance with reggae, captured by the Clash on White Man in Hammersmith Palais. A disastrous PR stunt by the Pistols on a Thames barge marked a turning point - the darker underbelly of the summer of '77 saw race riots in Lewisham, the backdrop for a rawer, working class sound. By '78 punk was becoming a costume - the pop orthodoxy it had originally sought to destroy. For many punk ended when the Pistols split, beset by internal problems, following an abortive US tour in January '78. Those practitioners who would go on to enjoy sustained success sought to modify their sound to survive, such as Siouxsie Sioux, leading to the post-punk era

UN Observers enter Mazraat al-Qubeir
UN observers today entered the village of Mazraat al-Qubeir to verify
reports of mass killings in the village. After hours of coordination
with local authorities and communities in the area, the observers were
able to access the village at 3:30 local time.
Mazraat al-Qubier was empty of its own residents and thus the observers were not able to talk to anyone who witnessed Wednesday's horrific tragedy.
Upon the arrival of UN observers villagers from a neighbouring town came and spoke of what they heard and the relatives they lost.
Bmp tracks were visible in the vicinity. Some homes were damaged by rockets from bmps, grenades and a range of caliber weapons.
Inside some of the houses, the walls and floors were splatted with blood. Fire was still burning
outside houses and there was a strong stench of burnt flesh in the air.
The circumstances surrounding this crime are still unclear. The number and names of those killed are still not confirmed. The observers are still working to ascertain the facts.
The observers were not able to enter Mazraat al-Qubeir yesterday despite multiple attempts throughout the whole day. Their mission was obstructed by three factors:
• They are being stopped at Syrian Army checkpoints and in some cases turned back.
• Some of our patrols are being stopped by civilians in the area.
• We are receiving information from residents of the area that the safety of our observers is at risk if we enter village of Mazraat al-Qubeir.

Leaves Of The Horn (Trailer)
Qat is a natural amphetamine cultivated in the Horn of Africa. Its leaves are chewed by millions of people around the world, nurturing a business worth billions that connects the Kenyan and Ethiopian highlands to lands as far as the UK, the United States and China.
Labelled as a ‘drug of abuse’ by the World Health Organisation, Qat has been banned in most European countries for charges over funding international terrorism. Nonetheless, the qat trade provides livelihood to millions.
