97-yr-old grandad scoops lifetime achievement accolade Mr Farooqui arrived in the UK in 1964 at the age of 45 years passing through about 10 to 15 countries. At the time he says a ship through to Germany cost only £10. On arrival he took up work at Mashriq Newspaper in London, and since he was an avid writer in his homeland he continued to do so here as well. His first employment was at Ripton Foundry at £6 a week.

A nonagenarian from Pakistan, who set up his first business in Bradford almost 50 years ago, has been honoured with a prestigious award for his ongoing work in the city. 97-year-old Fazaldin Farooqi was awarded the Rashid Awan Lifetime Achievement Award last week from the Pakistan Society of West Yorkshire (PSWY) to coincide with Pakistan Independence Day.

Having settled down in the UK, Mr Farooqui moved to Bradford and opened up an Asian sweet shop on Lumb Lane by the name of Lahore and later rented a shop on Leeds Road. He moved on from making sweets to clothing business and eventually into selling carpets and furniture which then became his family's business to this day - Ali Baba. Mr Farooqui is amongst

81-year-old pensioner dies after savage street attack

August/September 2015 - Edition

BEATEN: Described by his family as ‘gentle and nonconfrontational’, Muhsin Ahmed was found slumped on the ground with serious head injuries

An 81-year-old Muslim pensioner from Rotherham, has died in hospital on, after sustaining heavy head injuries in a nonprovoked savage street attack earlier this month. Mushin Ahmed, 81, was assaulted, in the early hours of Monday 10th August in an area just off Fitzwilliam Road, in Rotherham as he walked his way to his Fajr prayers at his local mosque. Dressed in traditional robes, the grandfather of 12 was set upon in a

'sickening' assault just yards from his home. Described by his family as 'gentle and non-confrontational,' Mr Ahmed was found slumped on the ground with serious head injuries. Police refused to speculate on why Mr Ahmed was targeted, but have not ruled out the possibility he was the victim of a racially-motivated attack. Two men from the town have been charged with assault with intent. Damien Hunt, 29, and Kieran John Rice,

21, are due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 28th August. Detective Chief Inspector Chris Singleton, of South Yorkshire Police, said: " It is with great sadness that we confirm to the public this morning the death of Mr Ahmed and our sincerest condolences go to his family and friends. "He was a much loved and respected member of his community and his relatives are receiving specialist support from officers during this difficult time."

‘Hero’ saves baby from house fire

A Bradford man has been hailed a ‘hero’ by his neighbours after rescuing a three-month old baby from a burning house fire. 22-year-old Aamir Nawaz, from Manningham, had been dropped off outside his sister’s house, on Durham Road, last month when he heard screams for help. Running down the street with takeaway in hand, the have-a-go hero arrived at his neighbour’s door where she was stood with two children. Her husband was out working at the time and their youngest child was trapped inside the home which had been set ablaze. Courageously, Aamir dropped his takeaway, lifted his jumper over his head and made his way upstairs in the smokefilled house. “There was black smoke everywhere,” he explained. “I ran up the stairs and started looking for the child. “Eventually I kicked down the bedroom door and the baby was lying in a cot. There was smoke in the room but the window had been left open a bit which must have helped. “I scooped the child up in my arms under my jumper and just concentrated on making it back downstairs without breathing in too much smoke.” Aamir made it outside with child in hand, at which time the fire service had

just turned up. He was commended for his efforts by neighbours and fire-fighters whilst the baby’s family hailed him a ‘hero’ for his bravery. Three children were taken to the Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment for smoke inhalation on the night, and were discharged the next day. “In that situation you don’t really think about yourself, just the fact that there is a child who needs help,” Aamir added. “In Islam, we are told that we must help our neighbours. I have been brought up to respect this belief and the only thing going through my head at that point was that this baby needs rescuing. “I knew it would be a risk but as soon as I was inside, I knew what I had to do.” Aamir received an official commendation from his local Masjid Umar as well as from the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue. Aldene Woodward, watch commander at Fairweather Green, explained how the blaze had caused significant damage. “It was quite bad,” she said. “The family has been displaced now. “The cause of the fire is being

investigated by the fire investigation team and the police. “A significant amount of smoke spread around the house, it caused enough damage that the family wouldn't have been able to stay in the house. We called a Red Cross crisis team to help with the family. “We will be checking on all properties in that area, offering fire safety advice and making sure all homes have working smoke alarms.”

“I scooped the child up in my arms under my jumper and just concentrated on making it back downstairs without breathing in too much smoke.”

Scientists find 104 out of 109 head lice populations have high gene mutations & resistance to treatments

Cricket legend targeted in shooting

brushing tends to sort the problem out - but scientists believe that the over-use of the chemical treatments have made the bugs resistant. Dr Kyong Yoon from the Southern Illinois University revealed: “What we found was that 104 out of the 109 lice populations we tested had high levels of gene mutations, which have been linked to resistance to pyrethroids.” Their resistance to pyrethroids - a group of pesticides that are used to control mosquitoes and household critters - is thought to be to blame. The resistance to these pesticides had been predicted by Dr Yoon, who first theorised about the prospect of super lice in 2000. He said: “I was working on insecticide metabolism in a potato beetle when my mentor, John Clark, suggested I look into the resurgence of head lice. The hair-scratching bugs have developed genetic mutations known as kdr or ‘knock-down resistance’, believed to be caused

by using the same chemicals repeatedly. Head lice grow to about the size of a sesame seed and are passed on through hair contact. A child with head lice will have an itchy head and may develop a rash down the back of their neck as a result of reaction to lice droppings. According to the NHS website, the best treatment is to brush the nits out with specially-designed combs. One in three children aged 4-11 are infected throughout the year.

TARGET: Wasim Akram was shot at in the city of Karachi in what police said was a ‘road rage’ incident

‘Road-rage’ incident sees gunman open fire on retired bowler

Former Pakistani cricket captain, Wasim Akram, was targeted by a gunman in the city of Karachi earlier this month as the suspect opened fire on the fast bowler’s car. The incident was an apparent act of ‘road-rage’ in the city centre, where Akram had been travelling during Wednesday 5th August. Considered one of the greatest one-day international cricketers of all time, the now retired 49-yearold confirmed to reporters that no one was hurt in the shooting. “A car hit my vehicle and when we asked the driver to pull over, he stepped out and opened fire,” Akram told reporters shortly after the shooting. “He definitely looked like an official,” he said of the shooter. “If he can do this to me, what will he

do to the common man?” Akram had been travelling to the city’s National Stadium where he was holding a bowling camp at the time of the attack. The shooting comes six years after the Sri Lankan national team’s coach was shot at by a dozen Islamist militant gunmen in 2009. Six players were wounded during that attack, whilst eight civilians were killed. Pakistan did not host a top-flight international cricket match for six years after that attack until finally playing host to Zimbabwe for two Twenty20 internationals and a three-match one-day series in May

this year. Senior police officer Munir Shaikh ruled out an assassination attempt or a robbery in Akram’s case and said suspects had already been brought into custody hours after the incident. “This was just an incident of road rage,” he said. “We have identified the car from CCTV footage and will have the suspect in custody in a couple of hours.”

NEWS A determined fundraiser battled through horrendous weather conditions last weekend to complete a near 20-mile bike ride for charity, and she’s only nine-years-old. Khadija Sarwar, from Methley, set herself a sponsorship challenge in aid of the international charity, Orphans in Needs, after attending a seminar with her mother. After opting to complete a mammoth cycle as her fundraiser-ofchoice, the Wakefield Girl’s School pupil undertook the challenging ride. Riding from her home to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds – and back again, Khadija was joined along the long route down the LeedsLiverpool canal by her mother and father – Aneeka and Adeel. Totalling 18.6 miles, the young fundraiser rounded the distance up to a perfect 20 miles by completing some laps of her neighbourhood last weekend. “I really enjoyed it even though there was so much rain,” she said. “I got to splash through all the puddles and it was that wet, I thought I saw a fish on the path.” She added: “I decided to do the bike ride after going to a meeting with my mum about Orphans in Need. “I kept telling her ways of fundraising and then when we were asked, ‘who will make a pledge?’ my mum put my hand up as well as hers. “I thought I would raise less than £200 from the bike ride so I was very happy when I heard how much I had raised.” Despite pledging to raise £350, Khadija has so far seen just short of £900 donated to her JustGiving Page. Aneeka said she was ‘incredibly proud’ of her daughter’s efforts. “We are really proud of everything Khadija has done because this whole event was her idea,” she said. “The money raised will go towards building a children’s centre in Kashmir (Pakistan) and I was so impressed with her determination and caring attitude. “Since the ride, Khadija’s confidence has grown and she has just shown how caring and compassionate she really is.”

Islamic preacher ‘named’ on leaked list of unfaithful lovers website A radical preacher who is known for his conservative stances on sexual morality and homosexuality has been ‘named’ on the leaked list of Ashley Madison members. Hackers known as the ‘Impact Team’ released the private details of over 37 million customers of the cheating website on 16th August. In subsequent days the private details of millions of people were publicised around the world including details of how much they paid to subscribe to the website and even their sexual fantasies. But the Islamic preacher in question, Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, has denied he is a member of the website, which designed to find lovers for unfaithful partners – and instead claimed to be the victim of a conspiracy by hackers. Clarifying the embarrassing accusation in a Facebook post, Tzortis wrote: ‘It has come to my attention that my details are on the Ashley Madison data leak. This includes my name, address, and bank card details.’ Outlining his plans to contact police over the hack,

he added: ‘I am not ruling anything out at the moment, including the possibility of my phone being illegally hacked. Retrospectively speaking, it has shown signs of being hacked. ‘It seems that the first transaction was made in Australia when I was there for lectures and courses. It could have been someone who knows me, someone who hates me, or a malicious person who found out who I was. It could be one person or two, they could be working locally, from abroad or both.’ Tzortzis is a member of the Islamic Education and Research Academy and previously controversially voiced support for an Islamic Caliphate, and also claimed that those who leave the Islamic faith ‘should be killed.’ The details of some of the million cheating partners on Ashley Madison were posted on the dark web earlier this week, alongside sordid images and in-depth details of their sexual fantasies – with hackers threatening to release the information unless the site was closed down.

A touch of gold DRESSED TO KILL: Mumtaz manageress Miss Akhtar Hosseni (fourth from left) was given the title of ‘Lady Bond’ as she played host to the Bond team

Bond girls descend upon Leeds restaurant celebrating iconic movie franchise A world of James Bond was unleashed upon the Docks in Leeds last weekend as a unique exhibition showcased and explored the stories, design and styling of the world's most influential and iconic movie brand. The backdrop of the Leeds dockside with its barges, coupled with the grand impressive scale of the Chandelier by Mumtaz restaurant with its high ceilings and stunning Murano chandeliers, was the perfect setting for a ‘007’ movie set. With a license to thrill, the Chandelier by Mumtaz restaurant, played host to ‘Bond Girl’ contestants from all over UK. An impressive drinks reception greeted the Bond team with a luxury five course meal in the waiting, courtesy of Chandelier by Mumtaz manageress Miss Akhtar

Hosseni, who was honoured with the title of ‘Lady Bond’ for the day. A top secret dish created especially for the event by Mr Mumtaz (Mumtaz restaurant director), was named S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (Succulent-PunjabiExotic-Curry with TantalisingRomantic-Euphoria). The event, organised by Mr Meer from 007 Events on Saturday 22nd August, celebrated the 51st anniversary of the Bond synergy - the longest running film franchise in cinematic history, and the upcoming ‘Spectre’ movie, which is set to release later this year. Mr Meer said that the aim of the event was to bring some of the magic of ‘007’ to Leeds as opposed to London for his photoshoots. He has been running auditions for the

ultimate Bond and Bond Girl with a chance to win a prize. The five-month campaign, which has been touring the UK, is set to end with an exhibition, an exclusive glitzy after-party and anticipates a rare opportunity for agents, models, actors, photographers, journalists, businesses and fans to be involved. Each Bond girl contestant will receive a full make over, professional studio photography and a chance to win the Bond prizes which will be announced next month by Rachel Grant (Ex-Bond girl from ‘Die Another Day’), who is also the Official judge for the contest. Diners and spectators on the day were dazzled by magicians, a live demonstration of a 'Q Lab’ and a display of gadgets and gizmo’s.

Sculptor Kapoor says China work copies his Chicago ‘Bean’ British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor has said he intends to take legal action based on copyright concerns after noting a close similarity between a huge stainlesssteel, globe-like sculpture in China and his "Cloud Gate" sculpture in Chicago. The sculpture in the far northwestern Chinese city of Karamay, whose sculptor has not been named, is described as an oil bubble inspired by the rich oil fields of the region. Kapoor's sculpture, which is known in Chicago as "The Bean" and was erected in 2006, reflects the city's skyscape and in photographs bears a strong resemblance to the Chinese work. "It has been reported in the media that an identical sculpture has been commissioned for the town of Karamay in the Xinjiang region of China," Kapoor said in a statement released on his behalf by publicists in London.

Teenager ‘drenched in blood’ after unprovoked racist facesmashing glass bottle attack NEWS

Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was attacked with a glass bottle during an unprovoked racist attack in east London. The 18-year-old male needed surgery to his face and has suffered permanent nerve damage after he was smashed in the face with the bottle while out with friends in the Isle of Dogs on 8th August. Police say the male was cycling with friends through the Greenwich foot tunnel when he stopped near the junction with Mast House Terrace in Westferry Road to wait for the rest of his group to catch up. While he was there, a group of

around five men - one of who had a knife - and two women began shouting racist abuse at him. The group then approached the victim and attempted to pull him off the hire bike. While attempting to flee, one of the suspects chased after the victim and caught up with him between the junctions of Telegraph Place and Barnsdale Avenue and smashed him in the face with a

whisky bottle. Another suspect then proceeded to kick him while he lay on the ground. Three hatchback cars one black, one green, one silver – then pulled up beside the two suspects and drove them away. Police say the attack left the victim "drenched in blood". He required surgery on his face and spent three days in hospital. Investigating officer Detective Constable Alan Henderson, from Limehouse CID, said: "This was an entirely

Sexual slavery

Saleha Jaffer is founder of FAST, and has met the mothers of children who have travelled to Syria

‘Harrowing stories of how 9-year-old girls are sold naked at public markets for as little as the price of a packet of cigarettes’

The horrific news that ISIL reportedly executed 19 girls for refusing to have sex with fighters is yet another example of the sexual violence carried out by ISIL. This has become depressingly familiar, with a recent study from the UN showing that ISIL have been using rape as a weapon of war on an industrial scale. Reporting from media outlets, NGOs, and aid agencies all reveal how women from the local Yazidi population are being used as sex slaves, some as young as 9-years-old, and sold in markets. We hear harrowing stories of how these girls are sold naked at public markets, for as little as the price of a packet of cigarettes, and passed between ISIL fighters like commodities. ISIL has created a society that dehumanises women, where, on pain of death, local women and girls are forced into marriage with ISIL

fighters from the age of 12, and unmarried women are harassed in the streets - it shows no one is safe from the abuses of this group. These ‘marriages’ result in terrible injuries, pregnancies, STDs and long-term emotional damage. It is understandable why parents in ISILcontrolled territory are hiding their daughters and sending them away for their own protection. Families are being ripped apart in Syria and Iraq, as they are in UK when young girls disappear to join ISIL. In my work as part of our Families Matter campaign, I have met the mothers of children who have travelled to Syria; they see the reporting about ISIL’s abuses of women. They are terrified about what will become of their children, desperately waiting for a phone call or text message to say they are safe. Meanwhile, their daughters may have been manipulated with false stories of a Sharia utopia, in reality

they face barbaric treatment, death and little chance of being able to return home. One case is that of Tareena Shakil, a 26-year-old from Staffordshire who travelled to Syria in October 2014 with her young son, after becoming obsessed with ISIL material online. She soon found that the promises made to her online were lies, as ISIL tried to force her into marrying one of their fighters. Tareena and her son narrowly escaped being killed when she fled, and on her return to the UK in February 2015 she said: “I thought I was going for a better life but it ended up as hell. IS will say anything to get women over there. They lied to me and when I got there I saw for myself just how bad it was”. It can be hard to understand why women would want to travel to be part of this, particularly those who are essentially taking small children into war zones.

It is important to remember though, that ISIL propaganda presents clean hospitals, smiling children in schools and a secure environment – the group claims to offer them the chance of a fresh start. However, recordings by local people show how sexual violence, murder and brutality have been normalised under ISIL, with fighters cruelly joking as they barter for young girls in slave markets. The thought of any parent sacrificing the security and opportunity of this country in order to raise their children in an environment where rape is normalised, is almost too much to bear. But sadly, we know that this has happened. This is why it is so important to discuss these issues as families, in order to make a difference before it is too late. Children and adults alike are being targeted by ISIL online for recruitment; they are drip-feeding

them lies and propaganda while encouraging them to leave their families and communities behind. The tactics are similar to those used by people sexually grooming young people online. For parents, it is important to know who your children are talking to online, and there are a number of resources offering advice on how to supervise their activity. All of us have a role to play in being vigilant to the danger of a family member being lured by superficially attractive lies. During the Families Matter workshops held around the UK, I have seen how families are frightened by ISIL, but also want to have those difficult conversations in order to protect their loved ones from an abusive and barbaric group. I don’t want any more girls falling victim to these prolific predators and one should not have to choose between death or rape.

A Yorkshire MEP chaired an event attended by over 120 business people and professionals of Pakistani/Muslim heritage, to debate Britain's membership of the European Union. David Cameron's Conservative government announced that a referendum will take place in 2017. After the 2015 General elections, he certified his intention of holding this public consultation. The cross-party event hosted by Amjad Bashir MEP at Zouk restaurant in Manchester on 17th August brought together a panel consisting of Conservative MEP Dan Hannan, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Chief Executive of Business for Britain, Matthew Elliott, Labour MP for Bradford West, Naseem Shah and Alan Halsall the entrepreneur who rescued Silver Cross from receivership in 2002.

EU REFERENDUM DEBATE: MEP Amjad Bashir brought together a panel including Baroness Sayeeda Warsi to debate Britain’s stance with the EU

Vital discussions revolved around the impact on UK-EU relations, Britain’s global power and influence, trade and economic growth, migration and domestic politics. Following the event, Amjad Bashir MEP, said: “It was fantastic to see so many people from across a variety of sectors wanting to roll up their sleeves and get actively involved within the upcoming EU referendum. “We had a host of excellent speakers this evening, and guests who attended tonight’s important and informative event thoroughly enjoyed themselves”. Feedback from the attendees, who collectively employ between 50,000 and 100,000 people in their businesses, was that they remained unsure as to whether Britain should stay in or out of the EU. The debate continues.

‘We CANAL do it for charity’

EN ROUTE: The Give a Gift cyclists completed the route between Liverpool and Burnley on Saturday, before finishing in Leeds the following day

Eight determined fundraisers from Leeds pedalled their way to thousands of pounds for two local causes after cycling more than 150 miles in just two days. The Give a Gift team jumped on their bikes last weekend as they set off from Liverpool to Leeds in aid of Martin House Children’s Hospice and the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund at Leeds General Infirmary. Tackling all terrain down the Leeds-Liverpool canal, the group eventually made it back home on Sunday 9th August, with 16 tired legs and just a few grazes from the mammoth route.

Cyclists complete mammoth ride for Give a Gift Give a Gift Ambassador, Adil Hussain, has travelled from Vietnam to Cambodia on a bike before yet said this latest charity challenge was even harder. “In total we did 150 miles in just two days and every one of us felt it,” he said. “There were times that we found it hard to keep going, when the route was almost impassable but we knew we had to keep pushing on. “We do these fundraisers for children at Martin House or the LGI, as well as their families. That is

the thing that keeps us going and keeps us motivated all the way.” Set up in 2013 as a charitable concept, Give a Gift is targeted at getting British Muslims to ‘give back’ to their local communities, with a number of projects held throughout the year. This is the first time the cycle challenge has been held, with the eight participants, Adil, Alyas, Mohammed Ibrahim, Irfan, Junaid, Idrees, Naheem and Hamza accompanied by fellow Give a Gift

Ambassador, Habib Khan. Habib said the group had shown ‘phenomenal teamwork’ over the two days and was delighted to see such ‘vital funds’ raised for the charities. “This is the first time the guys have completed the canal cycle and

they did an amazing job,” he said. “The beauty of the challenge was that nearly all of the participants had never done something as big as this before yet they worked together to help each other over the line. “It was great to see so much effort, from the 15-year-olds to the 50-year-olds, and to know that they were doing this in the name of Give a Gift.”

Event to tackle Female Genital Mutilation a success

A West Yorkshire-wide partnership event to help tackle Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has been hailed a success. The event was organised by the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark BurnsWilliamson, and was the first time that statutory and community partners from across the county had come together to discuss work to prevent FGM and how best to support victims. The event consisted of statutory and voluntary agencies and partners from across the county and beyond, including the police, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), local government, NHS and many from the Third Sector.

During the event a range of people spoke out and the performance of the Leeds Young Authors, who staged a moving input around FGM, had a huge impact. They were brought to the event by the charity Black Health Initiative. Mark Burns-Williamson, said: "FGM is a terrible crime and the excellent and moving performance by Leeds Young Authors really helped to concentrate people's minds on what victims go through. "I would also like to thank everyone else who played their part during the day and helped to make sure the event was a great success. It has helped to not only raise awareness of the issue but also saw various

different organisations coming together and sharing their knowledge and expertise. Only by working together can we make a real difference. "FGM is a crime and one that is thought to be very much under reported nationwide. Raising awareness of the issue is an important aspect in helping to prevent it and to understand the true scale and nature of it. "The partnership event was to help raise awareness but to also see what we can all do and where we can work together - only by working together can we make a real difference and aim to educate as many people as possible about it.

Assistant Chief Constable Russ Foster of West Yorkshire Police, said: "It is vital that events such as this highlight and raise awareness of this

illegal practice which is totally unacceptable and that partners do everything they can to tackle it."

UK: Home terrorism -

who to blame…? The Prime Minister David Cameron delivered his speech on the Government’s strategy on how to defeat the poison of Islamist extremism on the streets of Britain. Many points were raised by the PM but his points raise more eyebrows than answers for many. Cameron has promised to allow parents to cancel their children’s passports if they suspect that their kids are at risk. Well will the PM also look into the relationship of parents and their children and also what will the Government be doing about what some call online terrorist grooming? The Government is now going to run a five-year-plan to defeat homegrown terrorism but will Cameron also be looking at political terrorism and Britain’s constant support of a nation which cages children, women

and men?Britain welcomes a nation that refuses to recognise the people’s democratically voted Government of Palestine, why is Britain not speaking up about this? Why is Britain hellbent on supporting the USA in every attack they make on nation’s which are primarily Muslim? Home grown terrorism doesn’t just come about from watching TV or reading newspapers, but by the actions of governments who have created a poison which targets youngsters who already feel they have no real identity in this country or across Europe mainly. Cameron talks about greater power for Ofcom to deal with some of the so-called extremist coverage on cable TV, but what about the negative reporting that we hear on mainstream radio and TV and read in newspapers?

The constant reports of Muslim’s killing or bombing non-Muslim’s when in fact more Muslim’s are being killed. The mainstream British press constantly runs negative articles on Muslims in the UK and if any community were subjected to this daily, then how would you expect them to feel? I have just recently come back from a trip to Nazareth where I saw Christians and Muslims living side by side, religious leaders breaking fast together and people treating each other with respect. This has given me hope that somewhere in the world there is a sense of real community cohesion. What I now see in Britain is segregation - a BBC Asian Network and a BBC 1Xtra, so Asian and black culture sits there then we have Radio 1 which stands alone as a station for

the whites on the other side! Our politicians have allowed this country to become divided - whites over here, Blacks and Asian over there. Now the same is happening with Muslims in Britain. This country has become a nation of divided communities. The right wing with all their ignorance are welcome to the mainstream media but the vast majority of moderate Muslim has been blocked out. There are far too many reports of “too many mosques” and “driving people out of white neighbourhoods” is the rant of the

Brtish press. Perhaps Ofcom and Cameron need to look closer at home to create a nation that accepts people and will help them with learning more about British culture instead of trying to always make out that ‘Muslims’ are the only people to blame for home grown terrorism. If you give people hope and a sense of belonging, no matter who they are, you will end up having a less divided society. Britain needs greater integration and less segregation, at the same time discovering each other’s cultures while being proud to be British!

Offices open to tackle reckless driving LAUNCH: Amjad Malik and his family have been campaigning to raise awareness around reckless driving since his son, Saliq, was tragically killed in a car accident last year

Bereaved family raising awareness of Bradford’s roads

OPEN: Bradford East MP Imran Hussain was on hand to cut the ribbon to the new C.O.R.D offices on Wednesday

A Bradford father, who tragically lost one of his son’s in a car accident last year, has opened his own family offices in the city this week, aiming to improve awareness on road safety. Amjad Malik was joined by dozens of guests on Wednesday 12th August to officially open the ‘Consequences of Reckless Driving (C.O.R.D)’ base on Manningham Lane. In September 2014, 15-year-old Saliq Malik was tragically killed when the car he was travelling in collided into a wall and lamppost on Gilpin Street, Barkerend. In the aftermath of his death, the young teen’s family were supported by West Yorkshire Police and have been campaigning to raise awareness about safety on the city’s roads. The new offices will act as a base for the continuation of campaigning work, which Mr Malik hopes to take into schools and local institutions later this year, as well as a support network for families affected by similar tragedies. “To have the offices as a contact point is a big thing for us,” Mr Malik said. “We have funded this ourselves and our target is to educate young people about the consequences of reckless driving. “We want to get into schools, mosques, madrassas, gurdwaras, temples and churches to reach out to the youth and share with them our own experiences of losing a son in a car accident.

August/September 2015 - Edition “It is all about raising awareness amongst these young people first and foremost so we can ensure no other families suffer the same way we have.” Currently, a team of five to six volunteers are in charge of running the offices, with C.O.R.D’s first booking at the West Yorkshire Police Camp this week. An official ribbon cutting took place at the offices last week with Bradford East MP Imran Hussain on hand to show his support for the project. Speaking on the night, Mr Hussain praised the project. “I’m here today to support Amjad Malik,” he said. “I know he has really brought this issue to the forefront and I know he will continue to be an active campaigner. As a local politician, we really want this at the forefront from the council’s perspective. “We are going to continue to support this organisation and in my new role now as an MP I will make a promise here that it is something that I am not going to forget.” Sergeant Karl Quinn of West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision Enquiry Team also spoke at the opening of the offices. “I have been dealing with accidents such as Saliq’s since 2004,” he said. “I’ve been dealing with families such as Mr Malik’s and lots of other families in and around the Bradford area who have suffered a loss due to sometimes just a momentary lapse in concentration. “Nobody sets off expecting to have an accident and nobody sets off expecting to kill somebody.”

They are highly successful, hard working and integrate well with the local community and are committed to success and prosperity of Wales.” He described the event as “another fine example of how our Lord Mayor shows his commitment to support and properly recognise the values and cultures of the Indian community who call Cardiff home, thus making it such a wonderful and vibrant capital and international city”. “The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukerjee and the High Commission in London send their greetings and best wishes to the people of Wales, as they are proud of the massive contribution you all make for the success and prosperity of Wales and India,” he added.

INTERACTIVE: The Oculus Rift headset allows students to experience a 360 degree surgery and also touch the patient

SMILE: Yeshwanth Pulijala says he hopes virtual reality technology will enable dental students to observe complex surgeries to their fullest

Researcher uses virtual reality Innovative to train technology promotes dental ‘interactivein’ learning surgeons Huddersfield

An Indian-born dental surgeon, who had to overcome poor eyesight to forge his own career in the industry, is hoping to utilise the latest virtual reality technology to train future surgeons from as early as next year. Yeshwanth Pulijala, a researcher at the University of Huddersfield, aims to provide accurate visualisations of the human anatomy and surgical procedures via state-of-theart headsets. During his own training, Mr Pulijala was confronted by the problem of poor visualisation in the operating room. This awareness of shortcomings in surgical training, alongside a passion for 3D design and technology, led him to relocate to the UK for postgraduate research that aims to make breakthroughs in the use of advanced technology to improve healthcare. First came a Master’s degree in 3D medical visualisation at University of Glasgow, where he

created a mobile app called SurFace - providing patient education in corrective jaw surgery. This inspired him to explore the potential of virtual reality for surgical education, using a highlyadvanced headset called Oculus Rift. A commercial version of this is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016, but Mr Pulijala– now studying for a PhD at the University of Huddersfield – has managed to get his hands on the developer version for his research. Learning through observation and hands-on participation are important aspects of education for surgical trainees, medical and dental students. “During these sessions the trainees learn by observing the procedures in real time,” the local researcher explained. “But the problem is that not everybody can see what is happening. This is especially the case in crowded operating rooms where surgical trainees

perform multiple duties. “Also in surgeries confined to oral and maxillofacial zone, as the structures are complex and densely enclosed in a confined space, it is very hard to observe and learn. “Further, a reduction in surgical training hours is severely affecting the training of surgeons.” As result, he continued, that four-out-of-ten surgical trainees are not confident in performing the procedure. So he is developing a tool which helps them to virtually participate in an operation. His PhD project aims to provide trainee surgeons with close-up, unrestricted, 360-degree view of a surgical procedure that has the potential to be a massive improvement on the operating room sessions in surgical training. “If you are a trainee surgeon, wearing an Oculus Rift, you will see the surgical procedure in an operating room environment and also able to ‘touch’ the skull of the patient and interact with it,” Mr Pulijala added.

WANTED: Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawwa and founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba says he wants to ban Kabir Khan’s movie ‘Phantom’

FILM-MAKER: Kabir Khan says: “I am surprised and amused that a wanted terrorist has gone and filed a petition. He is the one who is spreading hate agenda and he is opposing the film, without even knowing what the film is about.”

Pakistani militant with $10 million bounty on his head seeks to ban Bollywood action film NAMED: The forthcoming Bollywood film ‘Phantom’ apparently names the Pakistan militant Saeed for his role in planning a siege in Mumbai

A Pakistani militant leader with a $10 million bounty on his head over his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks now has a new target: a Bollywood film that imagines him being assassinated. In a twist worthy of a movie itself, a lawyer for Hafiz Mohammed Saeed wants to ban the upcoming film "Phantom" from being shown, arguing it is Indian propaganda meant to hurt the image of Pakistan abroad. But beyond the choreographed mayhem of the film's imagined, perfectly coiffed Indian spies, the movie's premise lays bare the anger still felt over the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans, as well as tensions between the two nuclear-armed

rival countries. "I am surprised and amused that a wanted terrorist has gone and filed a petition," film director Kabir Khan recently said. "He is the one who is spreading hate agenda and he is opposing the film, without even knowing what the film is about." Spy revenge films are nothing new, like ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ focusing on the U.S. special forces raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden or ‘Munich’, the Stephen Spielberg film on Israel's retaliatory assassinations of Palestinians over the 1972 Olympic Games attack by Black September. In "Phantom," based on the novel "Mumbai Avengers" by S. Hussain Zaidi, Indian spies target those behind the Mumbai siege, a three-day rampage that saw gunmen attack two luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and a busy train station in India's financial capital. But unlike the novel, which used pseudonyms for those accused of plotting the attack, ‘Phantom’ apparently names Saeed, as well as American David Coleman Headley, who was sentenced to 35 years in a U.S. prison for his role in planning the siege. Authorities in the United States and India blamed the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, long believed to be used as a proxy by Pakistani intelligence agencies against India in the disputed Kashmir region, for carrying out the Mumbai assault. Saeed, who founded Lashkare-Taiba, now runs the charity Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which India says is a front group for Lashkar. Saeed denies having any links with the militancy now. The fact Saeed is named in ‘Phantom’ puts him at risk, lawyer A.K. said.

Bollywood's original 'Munnabhai', Sanjay Dutt's life has been nothing less than a roller coaster ride. While others would have broken down and given up hope if life had thrown such challenges at them, Sanjay Dutt believes he is the 'chosen one'. In a recent interview, Sanjay Dutt spoke at length about his jail term, drug addiction and many other aspects of his life. Talking about this strange fate he said: "I feel I am the chosen one. I keep getting into trouble but keep coming out of it. God has always been there for me. “I used to reassure myself that maybe if I was out, I would have been killed and this is God's way of protecting me - by keeping me in jail. And so far I think I have fared well at all the tests he has taken." Confessing to his previous drug problems, he said that during his childhood he was sent to boarding school. Here he felt a lot more responsible and independent. He had to not only take care of himself but he also had to learn new things and recalled how everyday at the boarding school was a new challenge, a new responsibility. He was no longer that small kid who would listen to others. He knew how to take care of himself and did not like anyone's interference in his life, not even his family. The first time Sanjay Dutt tried drugs was when he was in

August/September 2015 - Edition college. Recalling the episode Sanjay Dutt said: "Someone asked me to try it once, I tried it and then it remained with me for the next nine years of my life. I always used to be in my own world. “From heroin to cocaine, I tried everything that was out there. “I used to sniff and take pills. In the last year before my treatment started I even used to inject drugs into my body." Sanjay Dutt remembered the day when he had a near death experience. He recalls: "One day I had taken heroin and went to sleep. I woke up after sometime and was feeling very hungry so asked my servant to get me something to eat. Seeing me he started crying and said that 'baba you've woken up after two days.' “When I heard this I was shocked. I went and saw myself in the mirror. My face had that drenched look and I knew it that if I don't stop myself now I will probably die. So I went to dad and told him to save me. He sent me to a well known hospital and soon after that I was sent to America to a rehabilitation center." Just few days after he came back to India his drug peddler visited him. "I was shocked to see as I had not informed anyone that I was coming back. So then I opened the door and he said he had some new ‘stuff’ – and if I’d like to try it,” says Sanjay. “It was that one moment that had to decide everything about how my life was going to be. I realised that if I say 'yes' now, I'll never be able to get out of it. And so I said 'no'. "After I got better, I didn’t want to come back to India. I told dad that I don't want to come back but he insisted that I should. So I gave myself one year's time. I did not get any film project in that period.” Sanjay Dutt says: "I have become more tolerant now. Inside jail I was nobody. I used to sit and eat with robbers and thieves. It humbled me down. Broke my ego. I read the Bhagavada Gita inside jail. And my faith in God has only strengthened with time."

From pop-star to collaborating with Abhishek Bachchan to personally buying lights for rural school-children in Tanzania

Canadian pop music star Raghav is set to release his new summer single ‘Until The Sun Comes Up’ later this August. What’s different about this track is that as well as having an appeal as an instant summer anthem, it’s accompanied by a powerful full video highlighting the lack of electricity in Africa. The track features Grammy Award winning rapper Nelly, and an exclusive version that features the hip-hop styling of bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan. After teaming up with Solar-Aid.org, an international NGO that has the goal of eliminating the kerosene lamp from Africa by the year 2020, Raghav distributed over 300 solar lights, which he personally bought, to school-age children in the small rural township of Shungubweni, in Tanzania.

The lights will help the students of Shungubweni Secondary School study for an extra 375,000 hours, and save their families almost £39,000 per light as they will no longer needed to buy kerosene or candles. This amounts to a significant shift towards environmental responsibility and self-sustainability for the families who have received these lights. Segments of Raghav’s trip will be featured in the music video for ‘Until The Sun Comes Up’, with the aim of creating significant social awareness around the topic. Of the track Raghav says: “I hope people will look years from now at this song being a singular moment when east and west collaborated in a way that has a true global musical impact. And performing it with Abhishek, who is the most talented human I’ve ever met, and

Nelly, who is a legend, make this song even more special to me.” Bachchan, who has starred in over 50 major bollywood productions, is known for his love of music and having previously featured as a rapper in his movies, he dons the microphone once again for a verse on ‘Until The Sun Comes Up’ in his unique ‘Bachchanesque’ style. He expressed his excitement on his Twitter page, personally thanking Raghav, and stating the collaboration was ‘an opportunity to work with two of my favourites.’ Rap star Nelly, a Grammy awardwinning artist with four UK number ones under his belt also takes a verse on ‘Until The Sun Comes Up’. Last year the rapper-turned-TV-star secured his own reality show ‘Nellyville’, which is currently in its second season. His collaboration with Raghav and Bachchan is an exciting move for rap music lovers in India. Since announcing the collaboration, social media has been buzzing with conversation about the three stars teaming up for the big summer single, with thousands of tweets from pop, hip hop and bollywood music fans around the world. The lyric video has received over 35,000 views in just 24 hours since launching on YouTube.

Kulfi Ice... What is Kulfi? Kulfi is the south asian version of ice cream. The unique flavour of kulfi comes from the boiling process - where reactions between the milk sugars and milk proteins cause it to become caramelised. This flavours the milk and reduces it to a fudgey mass which can be used as a 'plain' flavour, or more often, is enhanced with fruits, nuts and other flavourings then frozen around a stick. Before the development of modern refrigeration, kulfi was a luxury item reserved for very special occasions. Today kulfi is enjoyed around the world on a daily basis thanks to commercial mass production by TUBZEE LTD.

“…anyone would be lucky to have her as a girlfriend…”

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s relationship has been the talk of Bollywood for quite some time now - the family dinners have taken place, the couple have moved in together and all we’re now waiting for is the wedding announcement. While Kareena Kapoor has been immensely supportive for Ranbir’s affection with Katrina, she has left no chances to praise her futuresister-in-law in front of the media. Looks like her husband Saif Ali Khan is now going the same way too. During the trailer launch of movie 'Phantom', in which Saif and Kartinal co-star, Saif was going gaga over Katrina. “I think Katrina is one of the most lovely girls I’ve worked with,” said 44-year-old Saif speaking to the press. “... and anybody would be lucky to have her as girlfriend, fiancee or in the future something more.” After working with her for the second time since ‘Race’, the actor termed her as, “One of the most beautiful and biggest stars in Bollywood.”

Preity Zinta is full of praise for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's comeback in Sanjay Gupta's ‘Jazbaa’.

She's a great mum and wife, and she's doing the work that she wants to, on her own terms." Preity Zinta says it's a myth that married actresses don't have a career. "Look at Angelina Jolie after getting married and with kids, she did ‘Salt’, where she replaced Tom Cruise. And look at Ms Sharmila Tagore (Saif Ali Khan’s mother) some of her best films came after marriage and motherhood." Speaking about her dosti with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Preity adds: "I've been friends with Abhishek and Ash for many years. But, I also have my own equation with Ash. She is a cool mum and great fun to hang around with."

Once more into the hedge T

he saga of the mis-selling by the banks of Interest Rate Hedging Products (“IRHP”), commonly known as Interest Rate Swaps, rumbles on. It was reported in the Sunday Times over the weekend that The Coin Group Limited, an operator of care homes in Buckinghamshire, had settled its High Court claim against Lloyds Bank Plc over the mis-selling of three complex financial products to it by Lloyds. When settling cases banks typically insist that the Claimant agrees to a Confidentiality Clause in the Settlement Agreement preventing the Claimant from disclosing any details of the settlement. However, in this instance The Coin Group refused to enter into such a clause because it wanted to demonstrate to the public the flaws in the IRHP Review Scheme which has been set up by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for dealing with IRHP mis-selling claims and because Lloyds refused to completely compensate The Coin Group for all of the losses that it had suffered as a result of the mis-sold IRHP. Under the settlement, Lloyds agreed to pay The Coin Group £890,923.98 for the IRHP payments which it had paid; to bear the “exit” costs of the remaining IRHP which was estimated to be in the region of £3.5m; and to pay a contribution towards The Coin Group’s legal costs. The settlement will therefore cost Lloyds in the region of £4.5m albeit

the Bank has denied any liability. What is of particular interest in this case is the fact that The Coin Group initially took part in the IRHP Review Scheme to compensate customers who were mis-sold IRHP. Under the terms of the Scheme, the banks would decide whether a borrower was entitled to any compensation with the help of an independent reviewer. The Coin Group was told by Lloyds that it could not claim under the Scheme because it was a “sophisticated customer” and they were specifically excluded from the Scheme. The Coin Group was judged to be a “sophisticated customer” because, due to the size of its assets, it was deemed to be able to judge the risk of the Swap Products. The Coin Group is only one of thousands of borrowers who have been refused compensation under the Scheme on that basis. The IRHP Scheme has been criticised by many as being similar to having a trial where the Defendant is also the Judge (since the Scheme is self administered by the banks) and it has been alleged that the “sophistication test” is not actually a test of sophistication but a set of criteria designed to save the banks from having to pay compensation owed to customers. It has also been reported on the BBC that the Treasury pressurised the FCA to water down the Scheme to save billions of pounds of redress from the major Banks, two of whom (Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland) are publically owned. This allegation is

denied by the Treasury. A Judicial Review of the Scheme has now been ordered. It was revealed in The Coin Group case that Lloyds delayed notifying The Coin Group by several months of its decision that it considered The Coin Group to be a “sophisticated customer” and would therefore not qualify under the Scheme. It appears there were no good reasons for this delay other than for Lloyds to frustrate The Coin Group from pursuing a legal claim against the Bank as the decision letter from Lloyds arrived a few weeks after the statutory time limit for The Coin Group to bring a claim had expired. Fortunately for The Coin Group, it had sought legal advice before that deadline and its lawyers had issued a protective Claim Form before the expiry of the time limit. If you have a claim and even if you are currently pursuing your claim through the IRHP Review Scheme, you should not delay in seeking legal advice. There are strict time limits for bringing legal claims and, even if your claim has been rejected, it does not necessarily mean that you do not have a claim; particularly given that the Scheme is now going to be scrutinised by the courts. If you believe you have been mis-sold a product from your bank or if you are concerned about the way your claim is being dealt with under the IRHP Review Scheme then contact Luke Patel on 0113 227 9316 or by email at “LPatel@LawBlacks.com”.

Specialising in traditional Kashmiri Indian cuisine, the restaurant’s dedicated chefs have already tantalised taste buds in Harrogate, Malton, Selby, Sheffield, Leeds and York, and now Bradford is set for a food revolution. Saleem Akhtar is one of the directors who were determined to open Jinnah in the city and helped host over 1,000 guests throughout the past week. “For over 50 years, our family have called Bradford home and to now have a Jinnah Restaurant right here is an amazing feeling,” he said. “Over the last seven days, from Monday to Sunday, we have held seven launch nights, inviting between 100 and 170 guests every night to come down and sample what we have to offer. “We have called friends, family, colleagues, businessmen and Bradfordians to come down and treat them for one night to show what they can expect from this Jinnah establishment. “It has been fantastic seeing so many familiar faces and new one’s too. I look forward to seeing

them once again when our doors officially open later this week.” Starting from humble roots, Jinnah has recently celebrated its silver jubilee and through the hard work and dedication of their directors, the family business has grown into its own commercial brand. The new Bradford development lives up to the restaurant’s high reputation, set in a lavish décor to perfectly complement the sumptuous cuisine served up every night. Saleem added: “The restaurant itself delivers a wow-factor as soon as you walk through the doors. “Our huge blown-glass chandeliers are accompanied by tiles imported from Italy, and elegant furniture like no other establishment in the city. “You really have to come down to experience the grandeur of the environment for yourself.” With a unique fusion of traditional Kashmiri Indian cuisine, mixed with a host of continental and sub continental favourites, Jinnah Restaurant is guaranteed to serve up a memorable experience for every visitor. Officially opening in the city on Friday 14th August, why not book your table today and experience the difference, experience Jinnah.

Introducing Manchester’s first premium Asian shopping centre Big name retailers prepare for autumn opening

anchester’s long wait for a high-end Asian shopping centre is almost over as the city’s first premium Bazaar officially opens later this year, bringing an array of exciting goods to customers in the city. Located in one of the most vibrant and energetic areas of the Lancashire, Manchester Asian Bazaar will add to Cheetham Hills already famed reputation as a shopping hot spot, with up to 60 new retail units opening up. Supplying a huge range of Asian products, visitors can pick up everything from fashion clothing to occasional wear, fashion footwear to jewellery, perfumery to beauty products and even haberdashery. The shopping mall, which is being developed through an investment of £750,000 in Cheetham Hill Shopping Centre, will be a brand new retail area of approximately 20,000 square feet. Open six days a week from 10am to 8pm it will present an opportunity for shoppers to visit the mall after working hours and there is no need to worry about parking, with 500 free spaces available for customers. As well as a host of new retailers, an onsite 60-seater cafe, offering up delicious Asian cuisine, will also open its doors to the public alongside a beauty salon. The mall aims to attract around 20,000 visitors a week into the Cheetham Hill area from all over Greater

Manchester, Lancashire and beyond. Offering up some of the best products available in the

country’s Asian designer market, the bazaar will also look to uplift the whole area as a place to shop, in-turn having a positive effect on local businesses, and creating up to 200 new jobs. Tariq Mohammed, speaking on behalf of Manchester Asian Bazaar, said: “The demand of fashion merging from east to west has brought this new wave of clothing and accessories from that part of the world.

“I am confident that this new bazaar will be a place for all to shop, eastern and western alike, bringing a breath of fresh air to what’s on offer.” The team behind the project say they hope to bring an investment of over £10 million from retailers into the shopping mall making it one of the most desired places for Asian shopping. Tariq added: “In addition to

new businesses entering this area, there will also be a increased number of visitors that will hopefully shop at the surrounding areas as well as the mall. “This will help to boost income to other businesses in the local vicinity as our concept adds to the community rather than taking away, providing new and diverse products to customers.”

Mmmmm… what a concept

New BMW M4 GTS giving adrenaline-fueled high performance for the road and race-track A year on from the launch of the BMW M4 Coupe, the car-maker is now presenting an initial preview of a high-performance model for use on the road and, above all, on the race track: the BMW Concept M4 GTS. The move sees BMW M Division once again returning to its roots. The BMW offshoot, founded in 1972 as BMW Motorsport GmbH, not only caused a sensation with its iconic BMW M1 racing car, but developed the first turbocharged engine to win the Formula One World Championship and was the

force behind what remains the world’s most successful racing touring car – the Group A BMW M3. The BMW Concept M4 GTS showcases new technologies such as the innovative water injection system that has already provided a significant output and torque boost in the BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car. In addition, the BMW Concept M4 GTS has rear lights with OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology that give the high-performance model a whole new look when darkness falls.

The dynamic and exclusive presence of the BMW Concept M4 GTS is accentuated by the exterior paint shade Frozen Dark Grey Metallic, with the Acid Orange accent on the front splitter creating an effective contrast. The lightweight, forged and polished light-alloy wheels in 666 M styling also feature an Acid Orange accent. The 9.5 J x 19 (front) and 10.5 J x 20 (rear) wheels are fitted with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres (265/35 R19 at the front, 285/30 R20 at the rear). The mixed-size tyres provide the ideal conduit for

the stand-out dynamic attributes of the BMW Concept M4 GTS. The water injection system introduced by BMW M Division sees that water is injected into the plenums of the intake manifold as a fine spray. When the water vaporises, the intake air cools significantly. As a result, the final compression temperature in the combustion chamber – and therefore the engine’s tendency to “knock” – is reduced, enabling the turbocharged engine to use higher boost pressure and earlier injection timing.

This technology ensures an increase in output and torque, while at the same time reducing the thermal stress on performancerelevant components. All of which also enhances the stability and durability of the turbocharged engine. The strong performance potential of the turbocharged sixcylinder in-line engine already demands an exceptionally sophisticated thermal management system for the engine and ancillary units.

Based on the 488 GTB, the 661bhp supercar is fitted with a similarly graceful folding electric roof that actually saves weight compared to an equivalent fabric type. It completes its motions in 14 seconds. An electric glass wind break behind the two seats can be raised into three positions for reduced buffeting inside the

How to Fight Speeding Fines

There were 159,000 prosecutions for speeding offences in England and Wales last year; 25 per cent more than the previous year. Either drivers in the UK are ignoring speed limits more or the methods of catching drivers breaking the rules are becoming more effective. More than half of those fined for speeding were caught on the motorway and mostly by cameras, as opposed to police cars. With some forces adopting a zero-tolerance approach, it could mean drivers being fined and having penalty points on their licence for driving at 32mph in a 30mph zone. Quality of Signage The only way to guarantee avoiding a conviction for speeding is not to drive above the posted speed limit. However, it can sometimes be difficult to know what the limit is on a stretch of road either because of poor signage or because the signs are obscured by trees or, ironically, other road signs. Variable limits on motorways can change quickly and catch out drivers, which is a common reason for speeding fines on motorways. If you think you have a good case, make sure you take photographs of any obscured signs when you fill in the Section 172 notice within 28 days of the Notice of Intended Prosecution being issued. This is the document that tells you the police intend to fine you and put points on your licence. Reasons to Contest Fill out the form and state you intend to contest the notice. If you were not driving the car at the time of the offence, you can also use this as a justifiable means to avoid the fine and points. However, you should

reveal who was driving the car and be sure they were insured to do so, otherwise you could be in even more trouble for allowing someone to drive your car without insurance. You may also contest the speeding rap if you believe you were not speeding. Safety cameras have to be calibrated and you can ask for evidence of this to be provided. This will only work if you were a fraction above the speed limit as most police forces allow a margin of error, usually 10 per cent of the speed limit plus 2mph. In Court If the police do not accept your appeal, you will have to go to court to contest the speeding conviction. For this, it’s best to seek professional legal advice. If you believe you were not speeding, you will need to prove this. Many drivers choose to go to court as they believe they have mitigating circumstances, such as taking someone to hospital in an emergency. In this case, it’s best to plead guilty but ask the court to take into account the reason you were speeding. In court, you can ask the prosecution to provide evidence of the speeding offence. Often mistakes are made in recording the offence or the vehicle has been wrongly identified, in which case you will not be prosecuted. When Not to Risk It While there is a good chance that contesting a speeding fine can result in it being quashed, there is also the risk of a magistrate imposing a larger fine and more points in a court. For this reason, be very sure of your case and if you know you've been speeding, it’s better to simply accept the original fine and points.

cabin, and it can also be lowered with the roof in place to enhance the sound of the engine. It shares the same 3.9-litre turbocharged unit as the GTB. Specially tuned to mimic the rev-hungry performance of a normally-aspirated engine while offering much greater torque, it has already been hailed as an astounding feat of engineering. Ferrari claims that the Spider has the same torsional rigidity as the GTB; a 23% increase over its predecessor, the 458 Spider. The Italian firm says that is down to its use of 11 different aluminium alloys in the chassis, which are combined with “other noble metals such as magnesium.” Speed demons will love its ability to sprint from a standstill to 62mph in just three seconds, and to 124mph in a furious 8.7 seconds. Fashionistas will prefer the newly-tweaked styling and feeling the wind in their hair. It will be officially presented to the world at September's Frankfurt Motor Show, but can for now be drooled over in the new 'Blu Corsa' paint finish on Ferrari's website.

Tyre-maker slams fourth-year MOT The regional boss of the world's largest tyre-maker has said that moving new cars' first MOT test to four years instead of the current three would leave British roads “more dangerous than ever.” Bridgestone claims that the average life of a tyre is around three years, but many drivers won't even think to check their tyres' condition. Robin Shaw, Bridgestone's north region Managing Director, has expressed concern at Chancellor George Osborne’s plans to extend the first MOT deadline to four years. =The Government has claimed that the move would save motorists ‘more than £100 million per year.’ However, Mr Shaw believes the added 12 months will result in more

cars running on illegal tyres below the 1.6mm tread depth limit. When Highways England recently checked more than 100,000 tyres in England, Scotland and Wales, 27% were below the 1.6mm limit and 39% between 1.6mm and 2mm. He said: “We oppose these proposals, as we believe they will lead to an increase in the number of unsafe and illegal vehicles on our roads. “The government is claiming that by considering this change, motorists will save money because modern day cars don't need their vehicles tested as often. "The worry is that within the 12 month extension, motorists will be driving around with defects that are

actually more costly to repair – and significantly more dangerous as a result.” Figures from the Department for Transport, as presented by TyreSafe in July, actually state that tyres are the number one contributing factor to killed or seriously injured cases in the UK over the past five years (36%) in terms of vehicle defects, more so than braking and steering faults (31% and 16% respectively). According to the DFT, 981 people were either killed or seriously injured as a result of dangerous tyres over the past five years, and Bridgestone believes that delaying the first MOT test to four years will only add to the “sombre” figures.

Child driving petition A proposal backed by major motoring organ-isations says introducing driving to the school curriculum could save 400 lives every year on the UK’s roads. The petition launched by Young Driver and supported by the likes of the Association of British Insurers, the RAC, Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and the Driving Instructor’s Association (DIA) says it does not want to lower the legal age of driving from 17-years old, but instead wants school children to be taught about driving from a younger age. By providing lessons in the classroom and practical driving courses, the scheme’s supporters say it would help save the lives of this most vulnerable group of drivers. Another benefit of the scheme would be to cut the number of deaths of young people travelling in cars driven by other young people aged 17-24-years old. A quarter of all road

deaths in the UK involve drivers or passengers aged 15-19-years old. Kim Stanton from Young Driver explained: “Driving a vehicle is potentially one of the most dangerous and responsible things a person can do. Learning to drive should be done over a long period of time, and from a young age, when pupils are more receptive to safety

messages. “Evidence-based research shows that road safety messages are better absorbed by children in their early teens rather than at driving age. By having this take place at school it can be made inclusive for all. We urge people to sign this petition so we can get this issue in front of the people with the power to change things.”

For the eighth straight year, Ford Motor Company has created a unique, aviation-inspired Ford Mustang. Based on a 2015 fastback Ford Mustang GT, Ford design and engineering teams transformed the 5.0-liter pony car into the Mustang Apollo Edition - a truly unique and highly valued vehicle that will excite enthusiasts and collectors alike. Led by Ford Design Manager Melvin Betancourt, the exterior features a one-of-a-kind glossy pure white and pure black nonproduction paint scheme that delivers a creative connection with the NASA Apollo program. The Mustang Apollo Edition features a carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser, rocker mouldings and accent treatments, along with unique LED underbody lighting to symbolise atmospheric re-entry. Performance enhancements include a performance package, Ford Performance supercharger and shifter, X-pipe with side and rear exhaust, sport-tuned suspension, six-piston Brembo brakes and custom Forgiato 21inch performance wheels. This Mustang will deliver a heart-pounding 627 horsepower

Ford Mustang GT Apollo Edition set for auction and 540 lb.-ft. of torque to provide an exhilarating, controlled launch for its new owner. The theme carries into the cabin with exclusive interior details, including performance gauges, modified instrument cluster, unique sill plates and embroidered elements in seats, trim panels and floor mats. The Mustang Apollo Edition joins seven other one-of-a-kind Mustangs created by the Ford design and engineering teams for the auction in support of Experimental Aircraft Association youth education programs, including the Young Eagles EAA youth education programs . Ford vehicles donated at EAA AirVenture events have collectively raised nearly $3 million. The Mustang Apollo Edition will be donated and sold via auction at the Gathering of Eagles charity event at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015 - the World's Greatest Aviation Celebration.

The auction of the Mustang Apollo Edition will be the pinnacle of the EAA Gathering of Eagles gala. The event annually draws more than 1,000 aviation enthusiasts in support of EAA youth education programs, which inspire young people to become engineers, aviators, astronauts, scientists and innovators - the aviation pioneers of tomorrow. "Ford has been a committed sponsor of EAA and AirVenture for more than 15 years - bringing incredible value to those who make Oshkosh the highlight of their aviation year," said Jack Pelton, EAA chairman of the board. "With its eighth Mustang donation, Ford continues to excite with its specialty vehicles, which reflect the depth of the company's commitment and which allow EAA to provide support to its valuable programs and dedicated members in helping us grow the next generation of aviators."

SPORT Jayawardene to join England

THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS WITH THE BIGGEST NAMES

ECB in talks with Sri Lankan legend over coaching role

England’s batsmen could soon be learning from one of the biggest names in recent history, as Mahela Jayewardene began talks with the national side over a role as a short-term batting consultant. The Sri Lankan legend hit over 25,000 runs in his glittering international career before retiring this year. He has reportedly been offered a role with the England setup ahead of their matchups with Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates later this year, where he will lend advice alongside regular batting coach Mark Ramprakash. England will play three Tests against the South Asian giants in October, alongside

series’ in both limited overs formats. “We have had some initial conversations with Mahela Jayawardene around a possible short-term consultancy role at the start of the UAE tour - given his familiarity with conditions,” an ECB spokesman said. “Nothing has been agreed at this stage.” England coaches, Trevor Bayliss and Paul Farbrace, have both worked with Jayawardene in the past during their stint with the Sri Lankan national side. Reports suggest that Farbrace first made contact with the former Lions captain in July this year.

SUCCESS: Anirban Lahiri secured a career best tied 5th at the PGA Championship last weekend

Hi5toric finish for Lahiri As Jason Day celebrated his first Major victory last weekend, records were also being broken a little further down the leaderboard with Anirban Lahiri writing his name in the history books. Finishing an eventual T-5 at the PGA Championship secured the 28-year-old a record high finish for any Indian golfer as he finished with a final round, fourunder par. Seemingly taking the Whistling Straits course in

his stride, Lahiri shot two 70s, alongside a 67 and 68 to end 13-under par, only bettered by four golfers across the four-day event. Speaking after the Championship, he said it was a massive confidence boost and he was now determined to come back even stronger in future competitions. “I won't really say I was in contention here, because I was a long ways out. But I was in the mix,” Lahiri said. “It's a great feeling. It's massive for me. It gives me

so much confidence. “It also tells me that I can compete with the best on the toughest courses and the best fields. Also tells me that I need to get just a little bit better and maybe I'll be back here more often.” Lahiri’s previous best performance at any Major came earlier this year when he secured a T30 position at the testing Open Championship. He had never made the cut at the PGA Championship prior to last week.

SETTLING FOR SECOND BEST – AMIR KHAN VS MANNY PACQUIAO By Khalil Alam info@asianexpress.co.uk

There have been rumours circulating that Amir “King” Khan is close to securing a fight with the recently injured Manny Pacquiao and to make matters more interesting there is talk of the battle to be staged in the Middle East. Khan had hoped to fight the best pound for pound fighter on the planet Floyd Mayweather but seems to have been overlooked again by the man nicknamed “Money.” Mayweather has since confirmed that his last bout before retirement will be against the limited Andre Berto. Pacquiao’s last fight was against Mayweather where he beaten convincingly over 12 rounds. However during that bout Pacquiao picked up a shoulder injury that he claims hampered his chances of success. According to promoter Bob Arum the Khan vs Pacquiao matchup could take place as early as next year and Pacquiao is already showing good signs of recovery from that injury. Khan has recently said, “I think the fight can happen. If it makes sense financially for both of us, then I think the fight will definitely take place. ... Fighting-style wise, Manny wasn't at his best against a defensive Mayweather, but with me I'm a totally different fighter. We both like to fight, move and both have tremendous hand speed. I think it would be amazing. I'd love to take that fight.” Khan and Pacquiao are both familiar with each

Khalil Alam, boxing coach and columnist

other’s fighting style and were previously trained by the same trainer Freddie Roach so both will be confident in putting on a show and winning this bout. The fight taking place in the UAE is a very exciting prospect because of the large Pakistani, Muslim and Filipino populations present, and I would agree that financially this fight makes sense for both Khan and Pacquiao. Khan has stated that Pacquiao was not at his best against Mayweather and I personally felt he was a major disappointment. It will be interesting to see how Pacquiao can recover from such a severe beating he received from the American. As for Khan, a fight against the likes of Pacquiao will help him recovering from the shock he has recently endured by not being named as Mayweather next opponent, even though he has been the leading contender for that bout. Pacquiao is still regarded by many as one of the best pound for pound fighters and the eight division champion will be consolation for Khan as the “second best” thing to a Mayweather bout. I also see the Khan vs Pacquiao fight as one of the best clashes out there because both fighters are probably still regarded as the fastest punchers in the division and the most talented in terms of boxing ability. As I reported last week I still do not think Mayweather will retire for good after his May 2015 fight against Berto and should Khan manage to win against Pacquiao (if that fight happens) then he will be more than likely be guaranteed that Mayweather fight. Khan in terms of his boxing career has been fighting credible opponents for some time now and I believe he has reached a pinnacle stage of his career where he needs the big name fights and Pacquiao is definitely a step in that right direction.

Changing perceptions in sport

Halima Khan: Improving participation numbers ‘from playground to podium’ Back page story continued “Rather than looking at faith as a separate concept to sport, we need to challenge this perception and use faith as a vehicle for change. “The two go hand in hand, with so many similarities and it is up to all parties to promote sport inclusively.” She continued: “The problem exists both ways. Many sport organisations are simply not doing enough to open their doors to a diverse public, whilst ethnic minorities are also not going out there to pursue a career in a sport they want. “People need to be made aware that a career in sport does not just mean playing it. You can work in so many different roles and help make a difference in the landscape of sport.” Growing up in Bradford, Halima always wanted to play cricket as a child and after finally convincing her parents to let her pursue a role in the sport, she excelled, going on to represent Bradford Ladies. She currently works as an advisory to the recently established ‘National Asian Cricket Council’ (NACC), which acts as a supportive arm to the English Cricket Board (ECB), giving the Asian community a voice in all levels of cricket. “A major objective the ECB has set is to get more south Asians involved in the sport,” she said. “The NACC is giving Asians a voice

to be heard and a platform for which to share their views with the best ways to improve participation from playground to podium.” Halima’s own self-confessed ‘high point’ in cricket came last December after being invited by the CEO of Bermuda Cricket to help establish a three-year-plan to create an official women’s team.

Overlooked

Khan ‘disappointed’ with Mayweather rejection

BOXER: Amir Khan will not face Floyd Mayweather later this year after the American opted to face Andre Berto instead

It takes a lot of perseverance and commitment but change will only happen if we play our part too. You will not just be handed a job in sport one day, it takes work.” She explained how the London Olympics had played a big role in changing perceptions for women in sports, with Nicola Adams singled out as changing views in the boxing world.

“A major objective the ECB has set is to get more south Asians involved in the sport.” Flying out to the idyllic island, she helped train the ladies squad before returning to the UK, taking up a grassroots role with Clayton Boys Under 15’s. Nonetheless, it is participation that Halima says she is determined to improve, and whether that via her work at home in Bradford, or from her actions overseas, it all serves the same goal. “When I began my career, I used to look at people in sport management positions and think ‘I can’t do that’,” she said. “Now I’m the engagement officer for Badminton England and hold advisory roles in sports across the country. “If I can do this, so can anybody else.

Amir Khan’s hopes of landing a big money match-up against Floyd Mayweather was once again put on hold last month as the man they call ‘Money’ announced his next opponent. The number one poundfor-pound boxer in the world will take on 31-yearold Andre Berto in September with the pair set to face off at the MGM Grand Garden, in Las Vegas. Berto, who has 30 career wins to his name alongside three defeats, is eight years younger than Mayweather yet his selection as an opponent is seen by many as an ‘easy win’. If victorious, Mayweather will extend his perfect record to 49-0 and has stated previously that this will be his final

Accepting that role models are needed, Halima added that it was also important for change at the top of the game, from media coverage to boardrooms, in order to further promote inclusivity. “Growing up, children from BME communities are urged to go into a career as a lawyer, doctor or solicitor, but these are the same people who can sit on a sport’s governing board,” she said. “We have to take these proactive steps ourselves and help make a change for the better in sport.”

professional fight before retiring – whether that is true or not is yet to be seen. Meanwhile, Bolton’s own Amir Khan, who is yet to announce his next opponent, says he is disappointed at being overlooked again yet was in full support of his stablemate Berto. “I’m disappointed not to have got the fight for what is the third time after having been one of the frontrunners,” he said. “However, there are many big fights out there for me and I’m going to continue working hard to establish myself at the top of the welterweight division. “Floyd Mayweather has fought the biggest names throughout his career and has earned the right to face whoever he chooses. “I wish my stablemate Andre Berto and trainer Virgil Hunter the very best of luck in the fight. I have seen how hard Andre trains and works and know that he is ready to give Floyd a very tough night.” Berto and Mayweather face off on pay-per-view on 12th September.
