Year 3 news day prep

 Hi guys, 

 

We are going to be following the same format as Five Live Drive for the half-hour slot so could everyone please listen to a couple of the shows on the website so that you know how they do live links etc.

The emphasis will be on live material for the reporters to contribute during the programme, and a maximum of two packages so that we can follow Five Live's remit as closely as possible.

Furious Officers Lose Enforcement Powers

After reading this article on Pistonheads, I was quite surprised to find that it said 'it is understood that police officers are furious at the reduction in their powers'. Well, I say surprised but in all honesty it is quite clear why they would be. After all, who would dare want a cut in the amount of paperwork over minor offences? Why try and make it easier for officers to catch real criminals? How dare they take away the burden on officers to chase after motorists making petty mistakes?

Stuck for ideas on Valentines day?

Well Arriva have the answer.

 

Electric Feel

The shift from supposedly neanderthal, damaging petrol engines in the pursuit of electric bliss and hydrogen heaven is becoming a clear aim in the car industry. But these changes don't happen overnight.

How To Wash Properly

No, not yourself, but your car. Recently I was shocked to find out the amount of damage that can be done to a cars paintwork by following the age-old tradition of plonking a sponge in a bucket of warm water and then dragging it over the body. Or even worse visiting your local Shell garage to pay £5 for that 'ultra clean' look. In reality, this appearance is farcical when examined in the sunlight. The image below shows a typical paint surface, visible on millions of cars because of the wrong technique employed in the washing stage:

The Hard Work Is Yet To Come

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate Barrack Obama on a landslide victory following on from a campaign which has embraced and captured the hearts of Americans. His election as next President is a monumental historical event, and I truly believe that he is capable of improving the current financial situation. However, we have yet to see any concrete evidence of policies which will systematically change the electorate's lives for the better. I'm sure he is full to the point of bursting with political breakthroughs, but the hype of the election has in my eyes clouded over this somewhat.

The Art Of Whinging

Jeremy Clarkson has become the latest target for the PC brigade. His comments on Sunday’s Top Gear have caused 500 complaints, in which he says “This is a hard job and I’m not just saying that to win favour with lorry drivers, it’s a hard job. Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That’s a lot of effort in a day.”
