Looking for justice in the East End

Article Abstract:

Stratford industrial tribunal in east London, England, is currently hearing two cases brought by women against their employers which are very different in nature. The first is that of Mary Walz, a high-powered businesswoman who was formerly head of equity financial products at Barings Bank. She is claiming against the bank for a 500,000 pounds sterling bonus which she was promised before the bank collapsed. The second is that of a woman who worked extremely hard for the London Borough of Islington and was dismissed for a minor fraud.

This man is desperate for food. Our answer was to spend 8m pounds sterling so that eight world leaders (and their wives) could talk about him

Article Abstract:

Critics of the 1998 G8 summit in Birmingham, England, believe that the Foreign Office's budget of 8.3 million pounds sterling for the event would have been better spent on directly helping the world's poorest countries. They feel that the summit was a waste of time and money because no significant progress was made on the core issue of meeting human needs. The summit attracted strong protests from debt relief campaigners, who believe that more action should be taken to reduce the debts of the poorest countries.

Millions more flock to flicks

Article Abstract:

Sales of cinema tickets in the UK were 32.2 million in the first three months of 1996, up by more than a third from the year-earlier period, according to the Office for National Statistics. The UK film industry has successfully adapted to meet changing market demand, and British-made films have become extremely popular. Industry experts believe that cinema admissions could reach 150 million a year in the foreseeable future.
