Human Right #13 FREEDOM TO MOVE

I didn’t thought that there was a right that allowed everyone to the freedom to move and reside within the borders of each State. A basic right like this is fundamental for a good living and living together. The video also describes another human right: everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. The right to travel is written in another article but this article also describes the right to change the country were you live and leave it. The important idea of this video is that traveling is a great experience and sometimes shows you that humans are free.

Self-evaluation Oral Presentation

• When I was doing my presentation I had one major problem: getting nervious. The presentation for my research project was really summarized, and maybe because of that i couldn't convey everything that I wanted. However, it was a good presentation. With a little more of time I've could have done it better I think. On the next presentation i want to know everything that I want to say so my marks are higher

NEWS: Doha, Qatar blast kills 12 and injures at least 30

12 people were killed and at least 30 injured in a Turkish restaurant in the Qatari capital, Doha. 

Police suspected at first that a burst in a natural gas tank was the cause of the incident, however it is not clear what ignited the tank. 

A further investigation is being made.

Another fatal incident (fire in the Villagio Mall) in another mall affected Qatar two years ago. It was in May 2012 and it killed 19 people and injured 13 children that were in a day care centre inside of the building. 

Opinion: I am very sorry for the people that died in the building. However, incidents like this are not foreseeable, and therefore people cannot prevent them.

NEWS: Philip Seymour Hoffman 'killed by toxic mix of drugs''

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who starred in movies like Charlie Wilson's War, Doubt and The Master died because of an overdose of a mixture of drugs that included heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, and benzodiazepine. 

The star was found dead in his home in New York last February. Post-mortem results were revealed last Friday, and he left a partner of 15 years, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three children. 

He had problems with drugs and he was in a drug treatment programme that lasted 10 days last year but he could not overcome his addiction.

Opinion: I think that is very sad that big stars as Hoffman have to die because of drugs. Drugs are now a problem in society, and I think that governments do not have enough laws to prevent this from happening.

NEWS: India's tea firms urged to act on slave trafficking after girls freed

Slave trading is a reality in India. Girls as young as 11 years old are taken from tea plantations to be sold as domestic servants. 

These girls were taken in tea plantations. These plantations belong also to Tetley's company, one of the major tea companies in United Kingdom. The investigation also showed that workers in these plantations are paid as low as 0.91 cents a day, 6 days a week, which is half the legal minimum wage.

Opinion: When I read this article I realised that we can buy high-quality and expensive products without knowing the realities of the people that worked to make the product. Tea is sold a lot in the UK specially, and if in these plantations are happening these things, I don't think that these companies should exist anymore. Tea sold by these companies have labels saying "100%" natural", but they do not say "we pay half the legal minimum wage to our workers" or "slave trade often occurs in our plantations".

NEWS: Nasa finds 715 new planets

Nasa scientists have discovered 715 new planets. This means that there are a total of 1700 planets beyond the solar system. 

Four of this 715 new planets were about 2 and a half times as big as the Earth and were discovered with a space telescope called Kepler.   

This discovery was achieved thanks to a new techique and means that astronomers almost doubled the total number of planets known to humanity. 

Opinion: I really admire the scientists' work. It is very amazing to know that we are sorrounded by 1700 exoplanets. Kepler telescope is a great tool also because is being improved and we may know in the future more details about these planets.
