A community police officer from Bradford is just one of the many Yorkshire residents who have been honoured in this year’s Queen’s Birthday List. PC Yasvender Rehill, who has been serving with West Yorkshire Police for the past 27 years, was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to policing and community engagement. The 52-year-old has been an ever-present on the streets of Bradford for almost three decades, spending 16 years as a Special Constable and 11 as a Police Constable. Just last year he was commended as one of the county’s ‘street level heroes’ picking up the Diversity in Action Award for helping to develop strong ties in communities, yet this latest recognition is something which came as a ‘huge surprise’ for the officer. “I had no idea at all that I was going to get this honour,” he said. “It was a big surprise and I am very proud.”

Bradford was treated to three days of irresistible flavours and tastes last weekend as the World Curry Festival arrived in Britain’s official Curry Capital. Now in its fifth year, the event continues to draw in top chefs from around the world with visitors getting the chance to experience the international curry trail on Yorkshire’s own doorstep. With more demonstrations and delectable dishes than ever before, there was something for everyone to enjoy, from the curry theatre to pop-up restaurants and the return of the now renowned ‘chapatti challenge’. New this year was the World Curry Festival Cooking School which also gave visitors the chance to prepare dishes alongside top chefs in a separate marquee. Jamaica, Malaysia, America, India and Pakistan were just some of the nations represented at the global event which continued to expand into new territories. Zulfi Karim, the festival’s founder, said his main aim was to
get people together to talk over food and was delighted with the success of this year’s event. “We’ve really now taken the festival to an international level and it continues to attract chefs from wider afield,” he said. “Here at the World Curry Festival, our aim and mission is all centred on gastro diplomacy. We get people together around food to talk and that’s really where we are going. “You have seen over the past three days, our audience is so multi-cultural and it is bringing all these people together over one common element - a love for food. “It’s been a fantastic weekend, the weather has been brilliant and I just want to say a big thank you to all those that have supported us, those who come along every year and help make the festival bigger and better.” US Ambassador to the UK, Matthew Barzun, officially opened the three-day event last Friday as he performed a live cooking exhibition of his Grandmother’s recipe - ‘Mother's Curry Sauce’. It is the first time that the Ambassador has visited Bradford
and, alongside Anita Jaisinghani, the pair represented the US at this year’s World Curry Festival. “Anita came all the way from Texas which shows that we’ve begun following the curry trail even further around the world,” Mr Karim added. “She was absolutely amazing and it was for that reason that we got in contact with the American Embassy and the Ambassador to the UK.” He added: “I ended up spending about two and a half hours with Matthew Barzun and what a gentleman he was. “He tried the curries, he had a go at cooking and was very interested in food, very interested in culture and very interested in the wider community.” Alongside the spice spectacular, Poetry in the City, in collaboration with the Ilkley Literature Festival, was also staged providing a feast of poetry for writers of all ages. All recipes which were demonstrated over the three days are available now via the World Curry Festivals website, www.worldcurryfestival.com

Queen’s Birthday List picks out the best of Yorkshire
A Royal Honour Cover story continued
The Community Prevention Engagement Officer currently works within the BD3 and BD4 areas of Bradford, liaising with different communities and places of worship to communicate with faith leaders and worshippers. He also runs boxing sessions for young people, in schools and places of worship, to engage them in positive activity, something he says he hopes will help promote his line of work amongst the youth.
SURPRISED: Businesswoman and entrepreneur, Kavita Oberoi, said she couldn’t believe it when she received a letter through the post telling her of her OBE
He continued: “I aim to be a role model within the community and I hope this (being named on the Queen’s Birthday List) will promote our work and encourage more people to join the force.” As well as PC Rehill, several other Yorkshire representatives have been honoured by Her Majesty the Queen in her latest thousand-strong list. Kavita Oberoi was awarded an OBE for her services to entrepreneurship and start-up businesses. Within the past 12 months, the former University of Huddersfield graduate has been operating a business hub to
help start-up companies as well as launching an enterprise academy at Burton College. Mrs Oberoi, from Bradford, said she was shocked to have received the award, and dedicated it to her mother, Kalish Vasdev, who she thanked for pushing her into education and to chase her dreams. “I thought these awards were only given out to people when they are in their seventies and eighties so yes it did come as a big surprise,” the 44-year-old said. “I dedicate it to my mum because I came from a background where girls weren’t really supposed to go out and get educated and get a good job. “After my father died, my mother pushed me into my studies and work and helped me break barriers which women, certainly in my family, had never broken through before.” Elsewhere, Kirklees Council’s community cohesion project officer and avid community worker, Habiban Zaman, was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to women in North Kirklees. Ms Zaman, from Dewsbury, has been instrumental in providing support to women across the whole region, setting up support groups and dealing with taboo subjects across different cultures. She said she thought it
“I thought these awards were only given out to people when they are in their seventies and eighties so yes it did come as a big surprise.” must have been a ‘prank’ when she received the letter and called it a ‘humbling experience’. “I didn’t really believe it to be honest,” she said. “I was deeply touched to be recognised in such a way and very humbled. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my mother who has really been an inspiration for me throughout my life.” In total 1,149 people were recommended to the Queen for an award.

Q&A with your property law solicitor
June 2014 - 4th Edition
WINNERS: Pupils from the Arooj schools in Leeds were awarded for their literary talents last week, with eight winners in total across three categories of poetry, short stories and calligraphy
Winners
DIN Solicitors specialise in various areas of law. This week our solicitor will be discussing frequently asked questions in relation to residential conveyancing.
Key Stage One winners: Short Story: Sukhmani Landa - Moor Allerton Hall Poetry: Safia Qureshi - Pudsey Bolton Royd
• What is conveyancing? Conveyancing is the term given to the process of transferring legal ownership of land and property. Conveyancing can include sale, purchase, and re-mortgaging.
Lower Key Stage Two winners: Short Story: Fawziyah Bi – Harehills Poetry: Tori Paul – Carr Manor Calligraphy: Sara Malik – Carr Manor
• How long does conveyancing take? The conveyancing process does not have a fixed duration. Much depends on whether or not there is a mortgage, the cooperation of all parties involved etc. A straightforward conveyance where there are no major problems can be completed within 6-12 weeks. However please note this is a guide only; some conveyances may take longer and some may be completed sooner.
• How much does conveyancing cost? There are two costs – one is the legal fee and one is a fee for disbursements (see below). The legal fee will depend on the purchase/sale price of the property and whether a mortgage is involved. We are able to provide a fixed fee which is very reasonable and competitive. • What are disbursements? Disbursements are expenses paid to third parties and which are incurred in the conveyancing process (e.g. property searches, Land Registry fees etc). We have excellent contacts with search providers and can obtain competitive quotes for search fees.
• What are the different types of searches? The main searches include the following: • Local Authority Search – this reveals the property’s planning history and any future planning proposals likely to impact the property. • Drainage Search – this tells you whether the drains run into a private or public sewer. • Land Registry Search – this reveals if there are any undisclosed mortgages on the property. • Land Charges Search – this is usually required by the mortgage lender to ensure you are not bankrupt. • Environmental Search – this reveals if there are any waste disposal sites in the locality and whether there is any risk of flooding, subsidence etc. There may be other searches which may be applicable to your conveyance. Please contact us and we will advise you further.

Leeds’ future authors put pen to paper
Wonderful Writers
By Ashley Grint
ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
Primary school pupils from across Leeds experienced how powerful words can be last week as they were awarded for taking part in a city-wide writing contest. Hundreds of children submitted pieces to the Arooj Creative Writing Competition yet just eight were selected as eventual winners across the three Key Stages at a special ceremony at Leeds Civic Hall. With many highly commended pieces, the eventual winners were victorious in the categories of short stories, calligraphy and poetry, with children receiving prizes ranging from certificates to story books. Organised by Leeds City Council’s ‘Closing the Gap’ team, the competition, which is in its fourth year, is part of a project which aims to increase attainment in pupils of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage and is open to all primary-aged pupils in the city. The aim of the Arooj project is to work closely with the 12 primary schools identified with the largest populations of these pupils to help to ‘close the gap’ in attainment. The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor David Congreve, and the Lady Mayoress, Janet Harper JP, were on hand to present the awards to the winners and highly commended pupils in each category. Councillor Jane Dowson, deputy executive board member responsible for learning ,praised the programme and all the
WRITERS: Bankside Primary School awards across the board (front l-r) Kienpupils also picked up Fariha (back l-r) Sameena Rahman and na Rey Clark, Khalisa Nyasha Besford
children who had been involved throughout the contest. She said: “Today was the fourth annual Arooj creative writing awards. “The reason we hold these awards every year is to empower children to believe that they can be good writers, authors and poets. “Every year we get loads of children entering the competition and winning prizes so in the future we will have more and more authors in the city – from the Asian community, and many of the diverse communities which live in the city. “It is very important for everybody to be represented in the city and this project is a fantastic way of giving power to the children.” As well as the prize giving ceremony, entertainment was provided by pupils from Arooj schools with everything from Indian dance to dhol drumming, singing to recorders and even rapping to breakdancing. The whole day was even hosted by some of the pupils who showed they were not only fantastic writers but excellent presenters. Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage pupils are the largest ethnic minority group in Leeds comprising six per cent of the total school population. Attainment levels for these pupils is below their peers both in Leeds and nationally, however the gap in attainment has narrowed in recent years due to the hard work of the schools involved in the Arooj collaborative.
TALENTED: Year 2 pupils at Pudsey Bolton Royd Primary, Safia Qureshi and Ania Shafi, were commended for their efforts in the Key Stage One poetry category
Safia was the winner of the Key Stage One poetry competition and said she was really happy to win. “I won a certificate, a notebook and a story book for my poem. It was about having five a day and I really liked it. It was funny and fun to write and I was very happy when I won my prizes.” Ania’s poem about skipping was highly commended by the judges, also in the Key Stage One Poetry category. “My poem was about skipping and that is what I like to do. It was really fun when we were writing them because I like writing. I was very excited when I won and I thought I was going to all the time.”

Canvas unveiled Patchwork art shows
Bradford and Syria were quite literally stitched closer together last week as a giant patchwork canvas was unveiled in the city centre. As part of the ‘What is home project’ children from the war-torn country had drawn their own ideas of what constituted ‘home’ before the same task was given to primary school pupils in Bradford. The result, a 1,000 piece canvas which was painstakingly sewn together by the city’s ‘Sewing Bradford’ group, all free of charge, which was revealed on Monday as part of Refugee Week. International humanitarian aid organisation, Human Relief Foundation, and Horton Grange Primary School had spearheaded the project which eventually produced the four and a half metre long, by two and a half metre wide, piece of art. Qais Khaliq, Fundraising Coordinator for Human Relief Foundation, commented: “We asked five hundred Syrian refugee children and several hundred Bradford children to draw their idea of ‘What is Home’ on a square piece of canvas and then we stitched them together. “The result is this incredible piece of artwork that has come straight from the minds of children. The photographs from Bradford show normal imagery depicting houses and gardens. The Syria ones tend to be a bit more brutal. In some instances we had images of guns, dead bodies and bombed houses. “We hope that this artwork will really show what Syrian children are

We also hope that it will teach our Bradford children to always consider what other people are going through.” The Syrian children who contributed to the project were living in the Madabah area of Jordan within host homes and communities, or from the King Abdullah or Cyber
City refugee camps. Meanwhile, children from six schools in Bradford contributed to the canvas; Horton Grange, Copthorpe, Lidget Green, St Oswalds, Grange Technology and Princeville. It was on display at the Fabric Gallery in Bradford City Centre until Friday.

25 years of supporting young women in Leeds By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
Since 1987, Getaway Girls has been providing support for hundreds of young women every year out of their base in a little corner of Leeds. And now, after celebrating their 25th year anniversary last year, the charity is still going strong with as much commitment and dedication as ever before. Getaway Girls aims to help young women, aged between 11 and 25, build friendships and confidence whilst also providing a safe outlet to support girls who just need someone to talk to. Projects are run on a daily basis and can be held in the short term or long term, for people of all backgrounds, with many countries represented by visitors to the site. Schools across the city have even benefitted from the support group who often work closely with the team, providing an eight week course to aid with confidence building, self-esteem,
and decision making. Older girls, who have used the services when they were younger, have the opportunity to become peer educators and get involved with doing youth work, whilst receiving training in the field at the same time. Flavia Docherty, Director at Getaway Girls, explained why she believed the charity continued to run successfully out of their modest building on Bayswater Grove. “To say it broadly, we are here to help raise the confidence and aspirations in young women,” she said. “We work with a whole range of young women from lots of different backgrounds. It’s not just for the youngest girls that we have support either, we also have groups for young mums. “Two girls who came here when they were younger have come so far that they now actually work here as well which is great for the current girls to see.” One project currently running out of the site is called Global Girls, which

Getaway Girls looks at similarities and differences between young women in the UK and around the world. Two girls currently partaking in the activities are 14-year-old Salma Rouf and her cousin, Naimah Kazi, 13. Both girls have been attending Getaway Girls for the past seven months and explained what they were currently working on. “At the moment we are doing the Global Girls project and it is just us talking about different issues around the world like body issues, expectations, and racism,” they said. “We try to focus on recent
events happening all over the world and recently we have been looking at the Nigerian kidnapping. “We are currently doing a magazine, to cover all the issues with activities and information in.” Naimah also explained why the pair were enjoying the group so much, adding: “It’s fun, you learn something in a fun way which is different to school. “For me it has really given me a confidence boost as well. I used to be quite shy and didn’t talk that much but now I’ve noticed improvements in school as well. I’m much louder with my friends and even did a speech in front of

£50million investment! By Ashley Grint
ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
Bradford has been selected as just one of five regions across the whole of England to be allocated substantial funding to help improve the lives of tens of thousands of children. As part of the Big Lottery Fund, the city will receive £49million as it takes the lead in a ground-breaking ten-year initiative to see what methods are best for laying the foundations for zero to threeyear-olds to improve their future health, social and educational outcomes. The investment aims to improve the life chances of more than 60,000 babies and children across all the regions, which also include, Lambeth, Southend, Nottingham and Blackpool.
Dharmendra Kanani, Big Lottery Fund England Director, explained more about the project and how important it was for children to get the best start in life. He said: “Parents want the best for their children and as a society we know that what happens in the first three years of life profoundly affects a child’s future life chances. “A poor start in life can affect your health, wellbeing, outlook on life and how you form relationships. “Prevention matters more in the early years as we have a much greater understanding of what can and might improve the life chances of a future generation, that is why this investment is focusing on the three key areas of social and emotional development, nutrition, and language and communication development.”

Bradford Trident will lead the partnership in West Yorkshire’s selected city which will aim to engage with around 20,000 babies and children over the next decade. According to Bradford Trident the district as a whole has significant deprivation and within the three target wards - Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor and Little Horton - there are high rates of infant mortality, child poverty, poor oral health, high child obesity rates, low numbers of school readiness and high rates of domestic violence and child protection orders. Research shows that one in five children in the three wards have poor communication skills at the school readiness stage and one in three children have poor social and emotional development when starting school.

From sword fighting to SWAT team training, there was certainly something for everybody at last weekend’s fifth annual Huddersfield Sikh Mela. People from all over the country made the trip to Bradley, Huddersfield, to experience the Sikh culture in a fun and interactive way for the whole family. As well as Bhangra artists and singers, different forms of entertainment were provided via turban tying competitions, tug-of-wars and fairground rides to name just a few. Re-enactments on the day allowed people from different faiths to learn about the Sikh religion and important milestones in their history. Spectators watched on as famed Bhangra artist, Kuldeep Purewal, performed on the main stage for all to see, with local acts and even a rapper also getting their chance to impress. Meanwhile, plans for a special World Wars Sikh Memorial were also unveiled by members of the Royal British Legion and British Army officers. Thousands of Sikh soldiers lost their lives in the two wars fighting for Britain and the

memorial will remember the ‘fallen heroes’. The Mela was arranged by Yorkshire Lions FC with club official and event organiser, Kalvinder Bhullar, saying that despite a ‘shaky start’ due to the weather, the crowds soon flocked in. “People have loved the SWAT team and their demonstrations of how they arrest people,” he said. “The Mela is a community festival with no alcohol. We’ve had plenty of non-Sikhs here today because it’s for everyone.” Hardeep Singh Sahota, a volunteer on the day added his praise for the success of the event. He said: “The day was absolutely fantastic and brought together different communities through culture, music and faith. “The elder generation have always loved the outside atmosphere and this latest event included so much for people of all ages to do and get involved with. “I was not heavily involved in this year’s planning which was nice as it allowed me a chance to carry out seva (selfless service). “Along with my mum and some friends, I helped give away free food and water at the Gurdwara which which was a great way of giving back.”

Make
By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
After the success of Make Bradford British, the team at Channel 4 couldn’t resist a second series and despite a host of new characters and a new location, there is at least one familiar face. Bradford’s very own, Rashid Khan, star of the first series, will take up a presenting role in the upcoming ‘Make Leicester British’ programmes. Following on from the original, the concept remains the same, with eight strangers from different cultures and backgrounds all coming together to learn about each other’s cultures. Leicester’s ethnic makeup has undergone significant changes over the past decade thanks to migration, and the city is now one of the first in the country where Britons are no longer a majority. Since Make Bradford British was broadcast in 2012, immigration has become an even bigger political issue. A recent YouGov poll found that immigration is now seen as the ‘most important issue facing the country’ (neck and neck with the economy) and Ukip stormed to victory in last month's European elections on an anti-EU, antiimmigration platform. Leicester has a reputation as a harmonious city and a model of successful multiculturalism. The series aims to find out what the city can teach the rest of Britain, but it also looks at how integrated the new European migrants are and what has changed in the communities where they have

settled. With the production process still going on, Rashid Khan said he can’t reveal too many details but did say it was good to be back. “It was overwhelming to be asked back for a second series and I was very excited to hear that there was going to be another,” he said. “I know there’s been a lot of positive feedback from the public wanting to see what has happened to the original cast but instead this series will focus on people in Leicester which I’m sure will still be very good. “As with the first one, it is an eye-opener because if you are going to put eight strangers together from different cultures and backgrounds there’s always going to be highs and lows. “It is not really focussed on religion, more on cultures, upbringings and backgrounds of different people. “It’s like a Big Brother and Wife Swap put into one.”
As with Make Bradford British, in the first programme everyone will live together in one house, eating together, managing a budget and going on trips together to explore their different senses of what it means to be British. In the second programme they will be paired up and spend a number of days and nights together - living in one another’s homes and meeting friends and family – to gain a real insight into each others’ lives. Following the success of Make Bradford British, which won a prestigious international Rose d’Or award, Rashid says he still stays in touch with some of the original stars and explained what he is doing now. “Since the first series, myself, Damon and Desmond have been going into schools and hosting workshops on diversity and social cohesion,” he said. “Because we have experienced different

Tropical Torment Experience the true Sri Lanka on British Shores
ARTIST: Priyantha Udagedara moved to the UK to study a Masters in Painting at Leeds Metropolitan University
The torment of how Sri Lanka's war scars conflict with the island's tropical beauty is being explored at an exhibition which includes pieces from a local university graduate. The collection of paintings, featuring Priyantha Udagedara’s selected works from 2010-2014, was open to the public at The Norman Rea Gallery at the University of York until Friday 27th June. The Sri Lankan born 39-year-old, whose childhood was blighted by his country's civil unrest, was a professional artist before he came to the UK in 2006 to study a Masters in painting at Leeds Metropolitan University. He then went on to undertake a PhD in
Fine Art Practice - also at Leeds Met - which he completed earlier this year. “My art is a new form of landscape, one which exemplifies terror and beauty in one place,” said Priyantha. “The viewer takes in a false sense of beauty before the revelation of the displaced sense of agonising beauty. “Sri Lanka has long been represented as a paradise on earth - the ‘Pearl of the Orient’. This sort of language continues today in tourist brochures and, having lived through the Sri Lankan civil war, my work challenges this ideal of Sri Lanka. My paintings bring together both the island's beauty and the horror of what we lived through. “Major western shows of Asian art have
been dominated by Indian and Chinese work, and those featuring art from Sri Lanka have tended to display a traditional, uncritical view of contemporary life on the island. My work showcases a side of Sri Lanka many wish to be kept out of the public eye.” Priyantha has exhibited his work in Sydney and New Delhi, as well as at several galleries across the UK and in Sri Lanka. He also curated a show of abstract work by four Sri Lankan artists at Leeds Met's Broadcasting Place, last year.

Community Cleanup
Leeds’ streets get some tender loving care Spring cleaning arrived a little later than expected in Leeds last week, as the city’s streets were given a tidy-up as part of a communitybuilding project. The Richmond Hill Community Centre was the meet point for volunteers from local homes, businesses and the council on Monday, as the team headed to the streets for a day of team cleaning. As well as picking up litter and tidying fly-tip zones, the team went door-to-door to speak with residents about the best way to dispose of waste properly and what implications may arise if they don’t. An information pack was also put together by the Area Support team to reinforce the message and was posted through the doors of residents who were not home. Litter pickers, gloves, bags and even a footpath sweeper were all utilised in the day-long clean up on Kitson Street, Dent Street, Oxley Street and Clark Lane. Cllr Asghar Khan, Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, helped orchestrate the day and said it was
great to see the community coming together. “The general appearance of an area is really important, not just for morale of local residents but a clean and tidy community also creates a fantastic impression of an area for people travelling through it,” he said. “That is why the focus of this particular event was on tidying some of the area’s back streets, to make them look and feel better.” He added: “This event is a great example of the council and its partners working with residents to identify important issues like the appearance of the local environment. “It also presents the opportunity to work closely with local residents to identify other issues that are important to them, like garden maintenance.” Four skips were almost filled on the day whilst a police presence was also on hand to carry out some community confidence activity around the promotion of 101.

Bicycle with Barefoot Dancers prepare to print
A Halifax-based Indian dance company have been selected to take part in this year’s Yorkshire Festival and will be telling the story of cycling through a unique style of printing – with their feet. ‘Bicycle with Barefoot’ is a piece of inspiring original Asian dance theatre presented by Annapurna Indian Dance to celebrate the historic occasion of the Tour de France in Yorkshire. The unique performance has been selected as one of almost 50 acts which form the Yorkshire Festival 2014 the first ever 100 day art festival to precede the Grand Départ in its 111 year history. Bicycle with Barefoot involves printing the design of a bicycle on a large four meter square canvas cloth which is secured on a frame and laid on a surface sprinkled with powdered paint. However, rather than your usual brushes or rollers, it is the feet of the dancers which will create the art. Spectators will witness
with their feet at arts festival
an imaginative printing process where dancers will be moving carefully on the canvas, using various pressures of their feet, to inscribe their journey onto the blank material beneath them. The concept and inspiration for the project has been taken from the ancient Indian classical dance style called Kuchipudi dance from Andhra Pradesh in India. The dancers will be performing at four major festivals in Yorkshire as part of Yorkshire Festival 2014, with Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, 28th June, and Halifax Arts Festival, 29th June, yet to come. Annapurna Indian dance is offering free taster workshops for interested community groups in Calderdale throughout June. For more information please call 01422 209 906 or visit www.annapurnadance. com

Give a Gift Hundreds welcome return of charity scheme An amazing evening at the Aagrah Midpoint kicked off this year’s ‘Give a Gift’ scheme with hundreds turning out for a special charity gala. Now its second year, the volunteer-run project was initially set up to bring communities together through helping local causes – Martin House Children’s Hospice and Leeds General Infirmary’s Children’s Heart Unit. More than 500 toys and £5,000 was donated to the causes last year and now Give a Gift returns with even more charities being supported. Announced at last weekend’s launch event, this year’s project
will also support Bradford Hospital’s Children’s Charity alongside the two Leeds-based causes. Guest speakers from all three charities attended on the night and explained some of the heartbreaking stories which they have encountered and the importance of initiatives like ‘Give a Gift’ for both the charities and families. It was then up to the children themselves to speak in front of the hundreds of guests about real-life experiences. Ten-year-old Siyam Siraj opened the program with an amazing message before handing over to the two mini-comperes for the

Time for business Kirklees Council continued to reinforce their commitment to supporting functional skills in the workplace last week as they welcomed the Trades Union Congress President to Huddersfield. Mohammad Taj spoke at two events in the town on Monday 16th June to mark the first year anniversary since Kirklees Council, Unison, Unite, GMB and Unionlearn signed-up to their first ever Learning Agreement. The visit also marked the start of Adult Learner’s Week - the UK’s largest learning campaign to encourage more adults to give learning a go. Kirklees Council is one of the few in Yorkshire and Humberside to actively progress joint working with the Trade Unions. The partnership aims to inspire and motivate adults to get over the stigma sometimes attached to learning. Adults can be put off from learning because of their previous experience at school, or perhaps because they have not undertaken any formal learning for a long time. As an employer, the council aims to lead by example to create the right environment for staff to learn, investing in the basic skills of any workforce helps to maximise their potential and achieve improvements in work performance.
TUC President welcomed to Kirklees
Mohammad Taj is the first Muslim South Asian trade unionist to be elected President of the TUC and has worked in public transport since 1974 when he started working for Bradford City Transport as a bus conductor. Commenting at the event, he said: “Promoting learning to working people has been at the heart of the Trade Union movement from its early pioneering days. “It continues today through the work of Union Learning Reps (ULR) and education officers up and down the country. “ULRs act as ambassadors for learning and training among their colleagues and workmates. Higher skills and training mean improved productivity and performance, better morale and a workforce that can adapt to new work processes. “These benefits transfer to their home life as well.’’ In the afternoon session, Mr Taj gave a presentation and took part in a discussion about the role of trade unions in a modern, flexible and emotionally intelligent organisation.

Beware tax scam
Bradford Council is warning residents to be aware of a scam email telling people that the social sector size criteria, known as the ‘bedroom tax’, has been abolished – this is not the case. ‘Bedroom Tax’ was introduced by the government in April 2013 and was designed to allow people to only claim Housing Benefit for the number of bedrooms their household needs. The email says that if people have been affected by this and want to claim any money back, they need to fill in the form attached to the email which asks for personal and financial details. People may also have seen a Facebook message which makes the same false claims that the ‘bedroom tax’ has been abolished.
Don’t wash raw chicken
'Don’t wash raw chicken' is the message for Food Safety Week which runs from 16th June to 22nd. Washing raw chicken can spread a food bug called campylobacter, the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. It can be fatal. Imagine the London 2012 opening ceremony and the Olympic stadium filled to bursting point with spectators? Now, try to imagine that huge crowd multiplied by three. That’s about a quarter of a million people and that’s how many people in the UK could be struck down by campylobacter this year. Campylobacter is the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. You can’t see it, smell it or even taste it on food, but you won’t forget it if it affects you. At its worst, it can kill.

Prime Minister’s Ramadan Message I want to send my very best wishes to everyone observing the holy month of Ramadan. This is an incredibly special time of year for Muslims at home and abroad: a time for charity, for contemplation and community. Charity is one of the things that Islam is all about. Here in Britain, Muslims are our biggest donors – they give more to charity than any other faith group. We see this spirit of giving all year round, from the mosques running sports clubs for local children to the Muslim groups selling poppies for Remembrance Day, to those people from around the country who put their wellies on, rolled their sleeves up, and went to help the families hit hardest by this winter’s storms. Ramadan is a time when that spirit comes to the fore and I am so proud when I hear, every year, about the millions of pounds raised for good causes for those less fortunate than us here in Britain, and those who are suffering in wars and in famines overseas. Ramadan is a time for contemplation to fast, and to pray, and to think deeply about others. This Ramadan, I hope that we can reflect upon a key aspect of our shared history: the bravery of those who fought and died for our freedoms nearly 100 years ago. Just days after Eid, we will be marking
100 years since the First World War. More than a million men and boys from India fought with our troops during that conflict and many thousands of them were Muslims. They travelled across the world to fight to defend our freedom guided and sustained by their bravery, comradeship, and, above all, by their faith. Their selflessness and their courage helped to secure the liberties we all enjoy today so this Ramadan – and this centenary – we will remember them and reflect upon their sacrifice. Ramadan is a time for community. And there is nothing that exemplifies this more than those nightly iftars when the fast is broken, the dates are opened, and all that great food is served. Last year I was delighted to see how many community iftars were taking place across the country in mosques and in community centres, in parks and even in tents. Again this year Government is supporting the Big Iftar programme with hundreds more communities, from Leeds to Luton, Woking to Manchester, throwing open their doors so that people of all faiths and none can break bread and get to know their neighbours. So wherever you are this holy month I wish you Ramadan Mubarak.

Make a house a home
Leeds City Council has taken important steps to ensure the district’s housing is delivered where it is needed most. A five year supply of housing land has been earmarked, which means the council has more say about building on green fields. Many authorities up and down the country are failing to find sufficient land for the next five years and as a result are suffering unplanned development. Should a developer want to build on green-field sites that Leeds City Council has not yet identified for housing it has a strong position for refusal because a large number of sites have already been set aside in the five year supply. The council will now set the number of houses it needs to provide each year at 3,660 between 2012 and 2017, to allow for the delivery of infrastructure and housing market recovery. Asian

Remembering the forgotten Thousands sign petition calling for day of remembrance Thousands of people have signed an online petition which calls upon Prime Minister David Cameron to ‘give a day of remembrance’ to the victims of honour crimes across the UK. More than 95,000 names were signed to the campaign, colaunched by Cosmopolitan Magazine and charity Karma Nirvana, who provide support to victims and survivors of forced marriage and honour based abuse. Following its success, a second petition has now also been set up, directed at Home Secretary Theresa May, which also requests a day of memory to remember all those victims of honour based violence. It is proposed that the date should be on that of the birthday of a murdered Bradford teenager who was killed by her parents in an honour killing in 2003. Shafilea Ahmed was killed at the age of just 17 after becoming ‘too westernised’, despite warning a number of agencies that her life was in danger prior to her death. Chief executive of the Karma Nirvana charity, Jasvinder Sanghera, says Shafilea was an innocent victim of a ‘terrible crime’.
She hoped that by having the day of remembrance on Shafilea’s birthday it would ensure that her memory lived on. “What we need to remember is that Shafilea was murdered simply for being a normal kid in Britain and embracing all that it stands for,” Miss Sanghera said. “She was at risk of being killed and forced into a marriage because of this and despite telling agencies she was in danger, nothing was done. “Her family buried her knowing that it was because of them that she had died, they had killed her. “We want this day to keep her memory alive and pay respect to all the girls out there whose memory may have been erased over time.” Karma Nirvana’s helpline receives more than 800 calls a month although official statistics currently suggest that only one honour-based killing takes place in the UK every month. Miss Sanghera believes that due to such violence often taking place in the home, it is a ‘hidden crime’ and that actual figures could be a lot higher. “We don’t know how many

unmarked graves there are out there or how many people have been flown abroad but we do know that honour-based violence is still happening in the UK,” she said. “We get hundreds of calls every month and hopefully by calling upon the Home Secretary and Prime Minister to acknowledge the victims, people, especially children, can become educated on the crime.” She added: “As of Monday, forced marriage is officially recognised as a crime which is fantastic. We campaigned and lobbied for that decision to be made and now we want a day of remembrance for the victims. “I urge everyone to sign this latest petition to the Home Secretary and help us get a day to remember for these honourable human beings.” If you have been affected by honour-based abuse, forced marriages, or are currently a victim of the VICTIM: Shafilea Ahmed, crime, you can contact from Bradford, was Karma Nirvana for support murdered by her parents in on their helpline at 0800 599 an honour killing in 2003 9247.

‘Wheely’ good idea
Bradford’s eye-controlled wheelchair travels to London By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
A group of technology whizzes from the University of Bradford have been showcasing their latest innovative gadgets this past week at the National History Museum in London. Dr Prashant Pillai and his team have been demonstrating a working prototype which allows disabled people to control their electric wheelchairs simply by moving their eyes. The initial breakthrough, which came back in 2011, has now been modified by Dr Pillai, and PhD student Suraj Verma, and could help severely disabled people achieve a greater sense of independence. Bradford’s university team had already developed a unique eye controlled robot and a wheelchair controlled through an eye piece. But after months of completely rewriting the software involved, this has now been adapted so that users of the wheelchair do not have to wear anything over their eyes but can simply look at a screen attached to the wheelchair. Speaking before the exhibition, Dr Pillai explained: “The event at the National History Museum is welcoming some of the top university researchers from across the county and it is a privilege to be included in this list. “This technology has the potential to change lives and is at the forefront of what we as a leading technology university are all about.” As part of Universities Week, the researchers headed to the capital, alongside thousands of families, school children, academics and industry experts, between Wednesday 11th and Friday 13th June to show the world their amazing work. The technology works using an eye tracking device that remotely tracks eye movement and then relays that information to the intelligent control unit of the wheelchair. Users simply look in the direction they wish to travel and the wheelchair responds.
TECHNOLOGY: Dr Prashant Pillai, Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Telecommunication at the University of Bradford, has been at the forefront of developing the latest eye-controlled software for wheelchairs
The team now intend to refine the technology further, before consulting with disability groups to carry out user testing. They are hoping to attract external investment to allow them to further develop it and take it to market. There are further opportunities to develop the technology to other electrical items in the home. The longer term aspiration is to work towards a fully assisted home, where a user could just look at their television, lighting or music equipment to switch it on. Dr Pillai is a Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Telecommunication and a member of the Future Ubiquitous Networks (FUN) Research Group which is led by Prof Fun Hu. The team also demonstrated other research carried out by the group like their unique eye controlled game and their ground-breaking aeronautical communications technology funded by the EU and the TSB.
CLEVER: Dr Pillai and PhD student Suraj Verma have modified initial designs to allow disabled people to control their wheelchairs with just their eyes and no glasses needed

Shopper’s singing surprise Bazaar sale hits all the right notes Bradford Bazaar launched its biggest ever sale earlier this month with a special guest on hand to provide some musical entertainment to the thousands of customers. Alongside the massive savings and huge giveaways, renowned singer, Nadeem Abbas, headed down to the bazaar to meet and greet customers and treat shoppers to a hearing of his big hit ‘Bismilla Karan’. The Pakistani singer proved a popular choice, with crowds gathering to see him sing live before posing for pictures and signing autographs. Nadeem’s visit signalled the start of Bradford Bazaar’s largest sale, and the day was kick-started with a free suit giveaway to the first 100 women. Jasvinder Singh, director and owner at the Bazaar, said he was taken aback by the early morning rush, adding: “We had a large queue outside before we opened despite the rain.” As the day progressed, the
sales continued to impress the crowds with thousands flocking to the site to get their hands on the latest bargains. Many items were slashed below half price and with entertainment for children from face painting to children’s rides and even a visit from Mickey Mouse, there was something for everybody at the sale. Last week, the bazaar continued to live up to its growing reputation of not only providing top quality produce but also first-class entertainment for customers with a free live performance of the Pakistani play ‘Chalo Chalo UK Chalo’. Once again, intrigued shoppers called in to see the performance whilst having a look around the hundreds of stalls. For more information of what’s going on at Bradford Bazaar, or to just find out more information about the site, visit www.bradfordbazaar.co.uk or like them on Facebook.

‘Directly’ bagging it!
First Direct Arena announced winner of the LABC West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards commercial category Contractors and architects from across West Yorkshire celebrated excellence in building at an annual awards ceremony held earlier this month. The West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards, organised by Leeds City Council and the other four West Yorkshire local authority building control services, were held at Headingley Stadium on Tuesday 10th June. A total of 12 awards were handed out to celebrate some of the best examples of building quality in a variety of projects from domestic extensions to commercial developments, each one was achieved through building standards, technical innovation and sustainable designs at local level. There will be an opportunity for the winners to qualify for the LABC (Local Authority Building Control)
Building Excellence Awards Grand Finals, which take place in London on Tuesday 11 November 2014. This year’s prestigious winner in Leeds was First Direct Arena, Merrion Way, Leeds, under the Commercial category. It recognised the successful collaborative approach adopted by all parties as a key factor in the successful delivery of this award winning project. Councillor Richard Lewis, Leeds City Council’s executive board member for economy and development, said: “These awards celebrate the innovative work being done across Leeds and West Yorkshire both to convert and restore some of our beautiful old buildings and to design and build new developments. “They also illustrate how councils can work with developers and designers to produce high quality, creative developments which enhance the city. Our arena project is a superb
example of the pivotal role a local authority can play in enabling a city’s transformation. Winning this award is testament to the great relationship we forged with our project partners to achieve such successful results.” This year’s awards were attended by over 200 people who were involved in the nominated building projects in the West Yorkshire Region. The LABC Awards recognise the importance of building control in creating a high quality, sustainable built environment in England and Wales. Local authority building control helps to ensure better design and builds by cooperative working between local councils, developers, designers and builders to avoid costly corrections during construction and to make sure projects comply with the highest standards of safety, sustainability and accessibility.
Artwork flying high
New artwork in Leeds Bradford Airport has been installed to welcome the world to Yorkshire as the world’s greatest cycle race comes ever closer. Bradford Council and Leeds City Council have joined forces to create a strong visual welcome for all the visitors coming into the airport framed around the slogan ‘Fancy a deTour?’ The photos champion the many assets of the cities, such as the 44 museums and galleries, 83 parks and outdoor spaces along with 19 world class theatres. The
artwork is a mixture of magnificent vistas and sights across the two cities. For more information about what’s on in and around the two cities visit www.vistibradford.co.uk or www.leeds.gov.uk and www.visitleeds.co.uk

Ramadan
is upon us “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) selfrestraint,-” The Holy Quran, Surah Al Baqarah 2:183 Ramadan will be upon us for the next several weeks – a glorious month characterised by sacrifice, self-control, will power and getting closer to our creator – Allah. Whilst in the UK the daily fast will last between 19-20 hours every day, let us remember that when the sun sets we will be met with a food and drink – we will be nourished. According to the World Food Programme the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide - 842 MILLION people in the world do not have enough to eat. They also offer the following alarming facts: • The vast majority of hungry people (842 million) live in developing countries, where 14.3 percent of the population is undernourished. • Asia has the largest number of hungry people (over 500 million) but Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence (24.8 percent of population). • If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry in the world could be reduced by up to 150 million.
• Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five - 3.1 million children each year. • One out of six children roughly 100 million - in developing countries is underweight. • 66 million primary schoolage children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone. Ironically, the world produces more than enough food to feed everyone; universal agriculture produces enough consumable sustenance to provide everyone
with 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per day (recommended daily intake is 2,000kcal for women and 2,500kcal for men). This therefore means that there is enough food on this earth for every single individual to have a more than sufficient diet yet due to numerous factors, some of which being insufficient land to grow crops and / or a lack of income to purchase food – the undernourished have grown to such an astronomical amount. As Ramadan begins and we go through the daylight hours without a morsel of food or a
drop of water passing our lips, seek solace in the fact that you know when your next meal will be. Be thankful to Allah that you are clothed, have a home and do not have to trudge miles and miles for a glass of water whilst the unforgiving sun beats down on your back, draining you of energy. Many of my non-Muslim friends, peers and acquaintances believe that what we do for one month every year is commendable – I feel it is necessary. When we are rid of gluttony and having whatever we desire at our fingertips we
have time to appreciate the ‘normal’ things in life that we take for granted. We cleanse our minds, bodies and souls and in doing so get closer to our maker – Ramadan is essentially as much of a spiritual rejuvenation as it is a physical test. This Ramadan, remember how much you have – remember how many people struggle every single day to acquire what we believe is a basic human right. Prepare. Rejoice. Self-assess. Repent. Change.

Pushing the boundaries he location of a boundary can be a contentious issue, with a disagreement over a few inches of land leading to the most bitter of disputes. Neighbour disputes are particularly challenging because of the proximity of the parties who continue to reside near to one another both during and after the dispute itself. This can have a profound impact on the relations between the parties and the enjoyment of their homes. Although the deeds to a property may provide confirmation of the location of a boundary line, this is not always conclusive. In practice it can often be difficult to determine precisely where a boundary lies. Whilst the plans in a conveyance can provide assistance in locating the boundary line, these cannot always be relied upon when determining the correct boundary. It may be that the plans are inaccurate or have been drawn in such a way that the thick lines are not to scale and may well represent an area of several feet on the ground. When determining a boundary
T
dispute, the Courts will be guided by the following relevant principles:• Plans show only general boundaries unless the property is said to be "more particularly described in the plan" • Ordnance Survey plans are no more than a general guide to a boundary feature • The starting point is the language of the conveyance and any plan • Extrinsic evidence such as topographical features on the land that existed when the land was divided may be relevant • Evidence of subsequent conduct may be of value in showing what the original parties intended • Evidence of later features may or may not be of relevance. • It is important to bring certainty to the determination by proclaiming the boundary • Evidence of adverse possession should be considered • Informal boundary agreements need not be in writing • A boundary agreement can be implied or inferred • The Court should also bear in
mind (1) what a reasonable layman would think he was buying; (2) every case turns on its own facts; and (3) the task of the court is to assess all available and admissible material in arriving at its answer, and then to achieve the correct answer. In the case of Acco Properties Limited -v- Mr and Mrs Severn, the High Court dealt with a boundary dispute concerning a British Virgin Islands company which had purchased a plot and driveway adjoining the Defendant’s family home. The Defendants erected a fence in order to prevent the encroachment of trees and undergrowth and a dispute arose regarding the location of the boundary line. The width of the boundary in issue was, at its widest point, 19 inches (49cm). Following an analysis of the relevant principles, the Court determined that the fence had been erected at least 4 inches over the Claimant’s land. The Court ordered that the fence should remain in situ and the Claimants should be awarded a modest financial sum (£1,000) to compensate them for the loss
of what was a very narrow strip of land with no apparent commercial value. The Judge noted that the fence had been erected as a result of neglect on the part of successive owners of the Claimant’s land which had led to the hedgerow crossing over onto the Defendant’s land, which had caused some damage and was therefore a nuisance. The Judge made clear that he did not “accept that the days are gone when a party can litigate over a tiny strip of land, although I would certainly agree that it is usually economic madness so to do, but a person remains entitled in law to protect and preserve that which is his or hers”. Whilst the Courts will strive for a common sense approach, boundary disputes are often emotionally draining for those involved and can result in one of the parties eventually moving home as they find continuing to live in close proximity to their opponent untenable. Blacks Solicitors can assist in the sale and purchase of residential and commercial property and any disputes which may subsequently arise.

Ride4Peace By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
With just days left until the Tour de France arrives in the UK, 25 cyclists from across the country have completed a gruelling ride from Glasgow to London in a 600-mile trip to raise money for charity and promote peace. The event, which started earlier this month, had been named ‘Ride4Peace’ by its organisers – the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC). Cyclists took on the challenge with the ambition of raising £100,000 for British-based charities, the British Heart Foundation and Humanity First. Tackling the winding Ride4Peace route participants got to tour the British countryside, stopping at 13 Mosques in Glasgow, Newcastle, Hartlepool, Bradford, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford, Feltham, and finally London. Faith and civic leaders, sports enthusiasts and members of the public were all on hand to greet and motivate the team at each checkpoint and cheer the cyclists along. The Ride4Peace is just one of several events which the AMC has organised over the past month to commemorate 100 years since its establishment in the UK. The £100,000 being collected will take the total amount raised to close to half a million pounds over May. In addition to stopping at 13
Mosques and a number of BHF shops, the Ride4Peace cyclists stopped to pay their respect at Bailiff Bridge Memorial Park, a First World War memorial originally built in 1921 and recently restored in 2007, and also at the Commonwealth War Graveyard in Ripon. Explaining why the cyclists chose to stop at the memorial sites, Ali Khan, a member of Team Ride4Peace said: “Like myself, many of the cyclists are of South Asian descent and our grandparents and great grandparents played a big role during both world wars. “About 74,000 members of the Indian army offered the ultimate sacrifice fighting for the British Empire in the First World War and more than 1.5million people from across the Commonwealth forces in both World Wars. “It was the collective sacrifice of all those who served that helped to provide us with many of the opportunities and freedoms we enjoy today. Their memory is something to be cherished and celebrated.” Adding why it was so important to welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds to the mosques during the cycle, Ali added: “We hope that opening up our Mosques across the country to anyone and everyone will demonstrate that they are beacons of peace within local communities and not places to be suspicious of.” More information about the Ride4Peace can be found at: www.ride4peace.org.
TEAM: Cyclists took to the road earlier this month as they aimed to raise £100,000 for British-based charities by cycling from the top to the bottom of the United Kingdom

Extreme literature in private schools Three Christian schools in Manchester have been found to have books which contain extreme-religious views, from stating ‘evolution is a lie’ to ‘homosexuals choose to be gay’. The three private schools King of Kings School in Ancoats, Lighthouse Christian School in Moston, and Sons of Light Academy in Ardwick – do not use GCSEs and ALevels for their students but rather opt for the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum. Further hard-line views which are expressed in the texts, also instruct children that they can avoid AIDs by practising the Bible and that ‘God wants wives to submit to their husbands’. Two of the three schools identified with the extremeChristian texts, Sons of Light
Academy and Lighthouse Christian School, are two of only 22 in the country to be officially named as following the alternative curriculum developed by Christian Education Europe (CEE). Dr Greg Hibbins, general manager of CEE, said: “The users of our curriculum are independent and have the choice to adapt and manage the content as they choose.” Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Headteacher Brenda Lewis, who established the ACE King of Kings School in 1986, added: “The textbooks in isolation only show a very small part of a very large curriculum. It’s a starting point not a finishing point. “As Christians we believe the Bible and we believe what the Bible says, and it does say a number of those things, but we are not single-issue people and
we teach our students to think for themselves and realise there are a vast number of issues.” Earlier this month, books at a Muslim school in Luton were found to express fundamentalist views including promoting stoning and advocating parents hitting children if they do not pray by the age of 10. Ofsted have recently changed their rules on examining literature and the curriculum whilst a spokesperson for the Department for Education said it was vital for all children to learn to respect other cultures. The spokeswoman said: “All independent schools — including those run by Christian Education Europe — must ensure that pupils are taught respect for others of

Commissioner backs drive to target fuel drive-off criminals The fight against criminals who fill-up and drive-off has been stepped up in Lancashire – to the delight of petrol station owners. The number of drive-offs – where drivers fill-up with petrol and leave without paying – has been on the up in the county, prompting Lancashire Police, the Crime Commissioner and the Constabulary to develop new ways of tackling the problem. Posters warning offenders it's a criminal offence to fill up and drive off have been put up county-wide, pre-payment pumps have been installed at targeted locations and CCTV has been improved to make the criminals easier to identify and detect. And as part of a new countywide policy to ensure these measures have a positive impact, all garages have now been given the same guidance for dealing with incidents, speeding up police investigations and helping make sure the businesses recover their money. Clive Grunshaw, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "Garages across the county were seeing more and more driveoffs – and owners clearly wanted to work closer with the police to reduce this growing trend.
"Now, I've worked with the Constabulary to develop a policy which will help not only businesses but also reduce demand on the police, cutting down on wasted time whilst hopefully ensuring more criminals are caught and brought to justice. "Those who deliberately driveoff from petrol stations are often involved in wider criminality – it's important procedures are put in place to give officers the best chance of successfully tracking the culprits down. This policy is an excellent example of what can be achieved when businesses and the Constabulary work together." The new policy encourages garages to immediately make use of the Forecourt Watch scheme to
record incidents and capture evidence and, where the incident is classed as a civil dispute, link in with the British Oil Security Syndicate (BOSS) to recover the money owed. And police processes have been streamlined to ensure officers aren't deployed unnecessarily to incidents which turn out to be accidental. Unless there are aggravating factors – such as the vehicle being stolen, using false plates, or deliberately avoiding CCTV – the report will be classed as "fraud" but an officer will only be deployed if payment has not been made within a specified time period. Chief Insp Abid Khan, from Lancashire Constabulary, said:
"Petrol stations play a vital role in the lives of our communities, often providing additional services to support to them. "To have them targeted by those who do not wish to do what everyone else is expected to, and pay for their fuel, is unacceptable and we will target these people wherever it is appropriate to do so. "Lancashire Police has therefore worked closely with our business community to develop the new procedure, and I hope it will provide confidence to the forecourt community as well as those who use the services they provide." The Commissioner added: "I hope the new policy will have benefits for both business owners and the police. It should ensure garage owners are happy with the service they receive from officers which will be clear and consistent in every case, and give them the best chance of recovering their debt. "Officers have told me the criminals driving off from petrol stations are often linked to other crimes county-wide, and it is also hoped this new process will improve the chances of catching those responsible."
UKIP European Parliament
The UK Independence Party succeeded on Wednesday in forming a European Parliament, grouping with other euro-sceptic parties, giving it access to more money, staff and speaking time. UKIP leader Nigel Farage snatched a defector from France's far-right National Front, giving his group the minimum sevennation representation it needs for parliamentary recognition. Farage and the National Front's Marine Le Pen have been competing with each other to woo parties to join their respective groups after their resounding victories at the European elections in May. Farage's new Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) group counts Italy's antiestablishment 5-Star Movement led by the iconoclastic Beppe Grillo, Lithuania's Order and Justice Party, the Sweden Democrats and single members from the Czech Republic, Latvia and, crucially, France. “I am very proud to have formed this group with other MEPs and we undertake to be the people's voice,” said Farage in a statement. “Expect us to fight the good fight to take back control of our countries' destinies.”

GCSE anxiety drove student to suicide A student, labelled ‘hard-working, popular and talented’ by the school principal, had jumped to his death from a motorway bridge after becoming overstressed. 16-year-old Mohammed Abdul Razzak was due to sit his GCSEs this summer yet had told his GP on several occasions that he planned to end his life. In January, the Oldham Academy North student walked onto the motorway bridge and plunged 30ft to the ground. Paramedics took him to hospital where he died of his injuries. A gifted pupil, Mohammed was vice student principal at the school and was expected to do well in his exams. He had been a studious pupil yet was described as becoming withdrawn and anxious in his
final school year. His mother, Lufta Begum, said her son became distant and spent a lot of time alone on his computer drinking energy drinks and coffee. In a statement she told the inquest: “He was a healthy child, a hard-working, studious young man with a clever demeanour. “He was a young man who kept himself to himself and had very good predictions in terms of his academic achievements. But he did not discuss anything with the family or those close to him.” Mohammed had skipped a mock exam earlier in the year and later handed a letter to his English teacher explaining that he had felt an ‘urge’ to self harm. He was sent to hospital, by the school and child protection services, where he was
assessed by psychiatrists for one week. Mohammed was assigned a social worker and had begun to show signs of improvement in his attitude yet on 6th January he took the decision to end his own life by jumping from a motorway bridge on the M60 near Oldham. Recording a verdict of suicide earlier this month, Rochdale assistant coroner, Lisa Hashmi, said: “Mohammed was a healthy, intelligent young man who clearly had a very promising future. “Save his obvious intellect, he was a quiet and reserved individual, however in the autumn of 2013 his mother noticed a change in his demeanour. Mohammed’s family, school and other professionals subsequently became involved in supporting him.”

Forced marriage criminalised By Anush Ansari anush@asianexpress.co.uk
Forcing someone to marry against their will has become a criminal offence as of Monday 16th June. The new legislation has been introduced by the government to help people in England and Wales, but will also apply to UK nationals overseas who are at risk of becoming the victim of a forced marriage. Forced marriage can involve physical, psychological, emotional, financial and sexual abuse including being held unlawfully captive, assaulted and raped. In 2013, the government’s Forced Marriage Unit gave advice or support related to a possible forced marriage to more than 1300 people. The maximum penalty for the new offence of forced marriage is seven years imprisonment. Law enforcement agencies will also be able to pursue perpetrators in other countries where a UK national is involved under new powers defined in legislation. Home Secretary Theresa May said: “Forced marriage is a tragedy for each and every
victim, and its very nature means that many cases go unreported. “I am proud to say that the UK is already a world-leader in the fight to stamp out this harmful practice with the government’s Forced Marriage Unit working hard to tackle this terrible practice in the UK and overseas. “Today’s criminalisation is a further move by this government to ensure victims are protected by the law and that they have the confidence, safety and the freedom to choose. “This summer, the Prime Minister will also be hosting the UK’s first summit dedicated to galvanising action against forced marriage and related issues.” The new legislation also makes forcing a UK national into marriage outside the UK an offence under domestic law for the first time. The offence is triable in courts in England and Wales. The new criminal offences will work alongside existing civil legislation (Forced Marriage Protection Orders FMPOs) allowing victims to pursue a civil or criminal option. FMPOs can already be made by a civil court against
Changes in government legislation set to protect thousands of potential victims
any individuals suspected of trying to force a victim into marriage. From today the breach of a FMPO is a criminal offence with a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. This will strengthen the existing law by enabling speedier and more effective enforcement action against those who breach the terms of an order. It will still be possible for victims to seek enforcement for breach of a forced marriage protection order by way of the civil court’s contempt powers as an alternative to reporting the breach to the police. Crime Prevention Minister Norman Baker said: “Forced marriage is an appalling form of abuse which crosses borders and cultural boundaries. The scale of reported cases is deeply worrying, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. “Legislation is the next key step in solving this problem and builds on the hard work already being done by the government and third sector organisations to tackle this practice. “The message from the coalition government is clear forced marriage is totally unacceptable and will not be
tolerated.” Aneeta Prem, founder of Freedom charity, which exists to educate young people about forced marriage, said: “I am delighted that the government has taken action to criminalise forced marriage. “In the most tragic cases, people forced into marriage become domestic slaves by day and sexual slaves by night. “Today’s announcement sends out a powerful message that this indefensible abuse of human rights will be not be tolerated. “Everyone should have the freedom to choose.” Dr Ash Chand, the NSPCC’s strategy head for minority ethnic children said: “The change in the law to make forced marriage a crime in England and Wales is a huge step forward which we hope will deter those plotting against their own children. “Many young people who call our ChildLine service about this issue are frightened, concerned and feel control of their lives is being wrenched from them. “We have produced an animation that will help allay their fears and encourage them to contact us for help and advice.”

Indian antibiotic recall
US drug-maker, Mylan, is recalling batches of the injectable antibiotic ‘clarithromycin’ made in India due to possible impurities, Britain's healthcare regulator said on Wednesday. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, said the decision was due to the potential for small particles of white material to be present in individual vials. The Mylan recall is being made on behalf of Strides Arcolab International and relates to Agila-branded supplies, the MHRA added. The Pennsylvania-based company bought Agila, a unit of India's Strides Arcolab, for more than £940m last year. The issue with the Agila antibiotic follows a series of quality problems affecting medicines manufactured in India that have tarnished the country's reputation as a supplier of cheap generic drugs.
Sealed with a £6million stamp
An inch wide, dirty and heavily postmarked stamp has set a new world auction record by getting sold for £5.5million. The British Guiana one-cent black on magenta sold for nearly 1 billion times more than its original face value at the auction in New York last week. No stamp is rarer than the sole-surviving example of the British Guiana, a unique penny issue from 1856, which has been heralded as the pinnacle of stamp collecting for more than a century. The auction made it the most expensive object by weight and size ever sold and had been sold three times before, each time setting the auction record for a single stamp. The stamp was rediscovered by a 12-yearold Scottish boy living in South America in 1873 and from there passed through some of the most important stamp collections ever assembled. Until Sotheby's international exhibitions in London earlier this year, the British Guiana had been out of public view since the 1986.
Knighted An Indian-origin physicist, best known for his work on the Large Hadron Collider, was accorded an honorary knighthood by Her Majesty the Queen, for his contribution to the field of science. Professor Tejinder Virdee of Imperial College was named a Knight Bachelor in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, released earlier this week. His citation reads: “Professor Virdee is one of the UK's most distinguished physicists and, as one of the creators of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment he has made outstanding contributions to science.
Beyond his innovative work in particle physics, he is also a great campaigner for science, and promoter of science and education in Africa and India “The CMS experiment, at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN, Geneva, has delivered seminal results in particle physics, including the ground-breaking discovery of the Higgs Boson, or the God particle, a particle that gives mass to other particles. “Beyond his innovative work in particle physics, he is also a great campaigner for science, and promoter of science and education in Africa and India.” Besides the professor, other stand-out names on this year’s Queen’s Birthday List include Hollywood actress and UN special envoy Angelina Jolie, who was named an honorary dame for her work combating sexual violence in war zones. The 39-year-old Oscar winner, who has spent much of this week co-chairing a London summit on war rape with foreign secretary William Hague, joined hundreds more on the final list.

is not a crime Al Jazeera journalists sentenced to 21 years in prison
Three Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt have each been handed a seven year prison sentence after a court in Cairo found them guilty of spreading ‘false news’. Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed had been detained at the country’s notorious Tora Prison for six months, with calls from around the world to let the three men go. The journalists, who all denied the charge of working with the now banned Muslim Brotherhood, were charged with helping a ‘terrorist group’ by broadcasting lies that harmed national security and supplying money, equipment and information to a group of Egyptians. was Brotherhood The banned and declared a terrorist group after the army deposed elected Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, just months after taking control of the
country. Since that day, media outlets in Egypt have virtually stopped criticising the army and government with these latest sanctions likely to cause further worries across the profession. In the UK, criticism of the sentencing has been widespread with many protests held by journalists in support of their fellow professionals. UK foreign secretary, William Hague, issued a statement slamming the decision. “I am appalled by the guilty verdicts handed down today and Egyptian against international journalists in Egypt,” he said. “I am particularly concerned by unacceptable procedural shortcomings during the trial process, including that key prosecution evidence was not made available to the defence team.”
On Monday, US Secretary of State, John Kerry, added his upon disapproval, calling Egypt's foreign minister to register his ‘serious displeasure’ at the ‘chilling, draconian sentences’. “Injustices like these simply cannot stand if Egypt is to move forward in the way that President al-Sisi and Foreign Minister (Sameh) Shoukry told me just yesterday that they aspire to see their country advance,” Kerry said in a statement. Qatar-based Al Jazeera has been banned from operating in Egypt after accusations of broadcasting support for the ousted Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood party. The media company has always denied the allegations. In total, 20 people were sentenced during Monday’s court hearing including nine Al Jazeera employees.

Chiefs of Staff, gave no direct reply in regard to whether the country would adhere to the request of Iraq’s Shi’iteled government. “We have a request from the Iraqi government for air power,” Dempsey said at a Senate hearing in Washington. When further questioned and asked whether the United States should honour that request, he continued: “It is in our national security interest to counter ISIL wherever we find them.” US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Iraqi request had included drone strikes and increased surveillance by US drones, which have been flying over Iraq for some time. In the Saudi city of Jeddah, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Baghdad had asked for airstrikes ‘to
break the morale’ of ISIL. Meanwhile, Iraq's ally, Shi'ite Muslim power Iran, had so far not intervened to help the Baghdad government. The dispute in Iraq has caused tremors across the world, with a number of countries now effected by the recent Sunni rebel uprising. In the UK, Prime Minister David Cameron said that ISIL was plotting terror attacks on Britain, whilst India confirmed that 40 of its citizens had been kidnapped in the violence-hit city of Mosul. Turkey is also investigating reports that 15 Turkish builders were abducted by the insurgents on Tuesday, following on from the 80 Turks who were kidnapped in Mosul last week.

Speak Hindi not English
Since taking office as India's prime minister last month, Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi has taken a clear stand in support of Hindi, pushing for it to replace English as the preferred language of the capital's urbane and golf-playing bureaucrats. Hindi and English are India's two official languages for federal government business, although India's constitution recognises a total of 22 languages. Modi's government has ordered its officials to use Hindi on social media accounts and in
government letters. Modi spoke in Hindi and used interpreters in meetings with South Asian leaders last month, and addressed the Bhutanese parliament in Hindi during his first official overseas trip last week. But with more than half of India's 1.2billion people using another language as their mother tongue, the push for Hindi risks widening communication divides in a highly diverse country, especially in the southern and eastern states, where local languages or English are preferred.
Indian Pinter Prize winner
Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie is the winner of this year's PEN/Pinter Prize in recognition of his support for freedom of speech and generous help to other writers, the prize judges said on Friday. The prize, awarded by the British branch of the worldwide writers' association, is named for the late playwright Harold Pinter, who was an ardent advocate of human rights and a fighter for social causes.
Rushdie, 67, is probably best known for his 1988 book ‘The Satanic Verses’ which outraged the Islamic world and forced him to take special security precautions after death threats were made against him, including a fatwa issued by Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He also won the prestigious Booker Prize for his second novel, ‘Midnight's Children’, and has been a prolific novelist, essayist and public speaker.
The search continues MISSING: The Malaysian Airline flight MH370 has been missing since 8th March with search crews still scouring the vast Indian Ocean
Survey area to shift south for missing plane More than three months have passed since the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airline flight MH370, and now the search is being moved to a new area. The next phase of the search will move hundreds of miles south in the Indian Ocean, with the initial suspected crash site deemed too far north after recent analysis. Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said a statement will be issued later this week as to
where a new 23,000 mile search of the ocean floor for wreckage will be focussed. Having previously used an underwater drone to cover 330 square miles at the initial area, believed to be the crash site, more powerful sonar equipment will now be used. Mr Dolan explained why the search was moving and the latest developments in the well-documented case. “All the trends of this analysis will move the search area south of where it was,” he said. “Just how much south is something that we're
still working on. “There was a very complex analysis and there were several different ways of looking at it. Specialists have used several different methodologies and bringing all of that work together to get a consensus view is what we're finalising at the moment.” Two survey ships are currently mapping seabeds, previously uncharted around the new search zone, before the latest solar scanning can take place, expected to start in August.
The new search area is in the vast expanse of ocean which was previously scoured by search aircraft in the days and weeks following the initial disappearance. Although no debris was found on them occasions, Mr Dolan hopes the new technology can provide a more conclusive search. The area, just off the west Australian coast, will be analysed using technology which can scan depths of 4.3miles in the ocean and is expected to take 12 months to complete.

A narrow escape Security official lucky to be alive
TARGET: Major General Abbas Ibrahim had been warned that Sunni militants may try to assassinate him prior to the suicide bombing on Friday
A suicide bomber in Lebanon has killed one person and wounded 37 others in a believed-to-be targeted attack on one of the country’s top military officials. On Friday 20th June, the explosion at a security checkpoint in the West Asian country narrowly missed security official, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, who had warned that he may be targeted. The bomb went off in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, near the Syrian border on the main highway between Beirut and Damascus, where Lebanese Sunni Muslim militants have recently been targeting the Syrian President’s allies. President Bashar al-Assad has received support from the
Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah movement in the neighbouring country and last week’s attack is just the latest of many by the militant group. Ibrahim had passed the checkpoint, where the bomber blew himself up in his car, just moments before and was just 200 metres away in his convoy when the explosion occurred. “We miraculously escaped,” Ibrahim told Reuters, adding that many officials in Lebanon were being targeted by the reactivation of ‘terrorist sleeper cells’. “But the security services are ready and on alert to stop them and we won't become another Iraq,” he said in reference to the fighting between Shi'ite and Sunni factions in Iraq, where Sunni militants have seized
wide swathes of territory. Ibrahim, a Shi’ite who is currently in charge of Lebanon’s Directorate of General Security also stated that security officials had told him Sunni militants were aiming to assassinate him. “We were suspicious of the [bomber's] car when we were on our way and when the car stopped at the Dahr al-Baydar checkpoint, the explosion went off,” he said. The one fatality was a police officer at the checkpoint. The wounded were mainly police, as well as civilians, in the area. Later on Friday, security forces closed a number of roads in Beirut and Tripoli in anticipation of a security risk.

With this song, it was made for them,” he said. “I’ve written a song for them with Emeli Sande and Zayn, and they are going to record that. I think it’s Simon’s favourite song as well, so I’ve been told.”

“I said NO to One Direction before” Continued from page 69
The 29-year-old producer added: “I think with this album, they can afford to be a bit more grown-up and more mature. They're boys turning into men so it's a good time for Naughty Boy to put a stamp on their sound. It's not a crazy step away from what you'd expect from One Direction but it's subtle enough.” Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan, has been in the studio with 1D's Zayn Malik. “I met him at the Brits and we both have similar backgrounds. We’re both Pakistani, grew up in similar surroundings and culture, and it's good to meet someone you're on a level with,” he said. “I’d previously turned down working with One Direction but knowing Zayn and hearing him sing - he's also doing some writing - I thought, 'This guy's actually really talented'.” Naughty Boy - who is producing a track for Lynx's Make Beats Not War campaign, featuring Professor Green, Laura Mvula and Wilkinson - admitted he's been taken aback by the group's fans, known as One Directioners. “It's just crazy. Whenever I work with him, there are people who camp outside the studio. They can find out his location. It's really intense stuff,” he said.

‘Pichlee Galee Remix’ Pretty Boy Music proudly presents the brand new clothing line ‘Pretty Wear’ and celebrates the occasion with the release of the remix to Onkar Sumal’s 'Pichlee Galee' produced by veteran music maestro Music Manny and featuring Bushkin, previously of Heartless Crew. Onkar Sumal, dubbed the most controversial Punjabi music artist in the history of Asian Urban music, brings the flava back to us with his newly launched clothing line and tantalising remix to his Asian
Urban hit ‘Pichlee Galee’. Music Manny was very well recognised for his production skills as part of smash hit producers ‘Illegal Demo’. Legendary UKG artist Bushkin is well known for his unique rap and style which made him a key individual in the Heartless Crew set up that shaped the evolution of UK Garage and Grime music. This remix is a fresh take on last year’s Pichlee Galee, Music Manny has taken ambient basslines and traditional instruments and fused them
with Onkar's urban Punjabi vocals and the inimitable Bushkin's vibe. This is a bass thumping remix of the original single. Onkar Sumal is no stranger to the 'old skool' scene. Previously known as 'Lightnin MC', he clocked up numerous hits with artists such as RDB, Notorious Jatt, Manak-E, Ranjit Mani and a host of others.

Ranbir chucks a fit
rina TOUCHY: Ranbir makes Kat his e par com to er nev e promis work with anyone elses
Katrina’s comments to Hrithik about her boyfriend’s work lands her in hot water!
It seems that ‘lovebirds’ Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have had a major squabble. Reportedly, the duo had a major fallout on the set of Anurag Basu’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’. It all happened when Ranbir was shooting an action scene for the film and Kat was also shooting on location for ‘Bang Bang’ with Hrithik Roshan. She had drawn a comparison that her boyfriend was copying Hrithik’s stunt for movie ‘Bang Bang’. Ranbir was outraged that she had compared him with Hrithik and ended up having a very public and heated argument with Katrina whilst on the set of ‘Jagga Jasoos’. Following the tiff, Ranbir refused to resume shooting until, and unless, she apologised to him. Sources tell that he also wanted her to promise never to compare him to anyone else nor make such comments about his work again. It’s widely known that Ranbir had previously demanded Katrina to stay away from Hrithik and apparently she has obliged. After shoots, Kat has been retiring to her vanity van rather than spending time with the cast of ‘Bang Bang’. During the shooting of ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, rumor sparked that Katrina and Hrithik were in a secret relationship. It was also rumoured that Kat is the reason behind Hrithik and Suzanne’s separation.
Hrithik Roshan had a liplocking scene with Katrina Kaif in ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ which irked Suzanne Khan. Katrina and Hrithik also shot a few intimate scenes in the first schedule of ‘Bang Bang’ which again disturbed Suzanne Roshan and she had a fall out with the actor-husband. A source commented that not many know that Katrina and Hrithik’s fling on the sets of ‘Bang Bang’ has much to do with Hrithik and Suzanne's separation. Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif have shared a love-hate relationship ever since they shot for ‘Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara’. In fact, a photo-shoot for a fashion magazine in 2011, right before the film’s release, holds ample evidence for this – the pair had had a lover's tiff and their morethan-friendship status became more than just an open secret amongst industry insiders. Suzanne also doubted Hrithik having an affair with Marbara Mori when both worked together in ‘Kites’. The duo had a big showdown after the film and Suzanne then almost called their relationship a quit.
Why Aftab Shivdasani Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani, who was in the news recently for getting married to Nin Dusanj, has revealed why he kept his marriage a secret. Speaking to Indian Express, he has revealed that he was hurt due to several broken relationships and betrayals and hence became superstitious about his marriage plans. Quoting a friend close to the actor, the report adds that Aftab has always been taken for ride in his relations until he met Nin. It is only because of her that his faith in the institution of love and marriage has been restored. However, because of his past he is very protective about her and does not want to lose her at any cost. Hence, he decided to have a small, secret wedding ceremony with only his parents to avoid getting jinxed.

A luxury watch band has come forward to deny rumours that it was considering dumping SRK for Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador. Well-placed sources with Tag Heuer has denied the reports, saying their association with the superstar is going strong and there's no parting of ways. "The question of replacing him doesn't arise," says a source, adding: "We've had a great association with our brand ambassador Shah Rukh Khan for many years and we're looking forward to continuing this relationship going forward as well." Shah Rukh Khan has been endorsing the luxury watch brand for over ten years now.

The prospect of stars Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor appearing on screen together in a comedy from the director of 'Housefull' is mouth-watering enough, but the fact that they each play three distinct characters promises triple the fun. Best friends Ashok and Kuman are unaware that they each have lookalikes, who are themselves best friends. And those best friends also have a pair of lookalikes that they don't know about. The three sets of doubles (who also have the same names) causes great confusion. The hilarious confusion this causes gets worse when three glamorous women - played by Bipasha Basu, Tamannaah Bhatia and Esha Gupta - enter their lives.

Performance, precision and agility New BMW M3 and M4 designed to deliver high power, low weight and promises ultimate driving pleasure
By Anush Ansari anush@asianexpress.co.uk
The launch of the new BMW M3 Saloon and new BMW M4 CoupĂŠ heralds the arrival of the fifth-generation of the iconic high-performance sports car from BMW M. Both dripping with tech, for the first time the CoupĂŠ and Saloon models receive individual model names. Another first is the adoption of a turbocharged engine for this BMW M model: the high-revving, 3.0-litre six-
cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology has been specifically developed for this purpose, and produces a maximum output of 431hp. Its peak torque of 550Nm is available across a very wide rev range starting at just 1,850rpm, and exceeds the figure recorded by the outgoing BMW M3 by roughly 40 per cent. In spite of this, the new engine also achieves a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of around 25 per cent.

The lightweight, two-seat, rear-wheel-drive,open-top sportscar promises to thrill the EV market with its blistering performance and exhilarating dynamics. This latest version of the SP:01 has seen additional development work carried out by Detroit Electric’s engineers and designers since a pre-production version of the vehicle was revealed to the media at events in Detroit, USA, and Shanghai, China, last year. Further details of the car and Detroit Electric’s production and sales plans will be announced in the coming weeks.

With new engine seeing a slight power upgrade over the previous V8, the standard sprint from 0-62mph takes both cars just 4.3 seconds with manual transmission, or just 4.1 seconds with the optional M DCT, while the top speed is 155mph (electronically limited). The new powerplant also boasts excellent fuel economy: the combined consumption in the EU cycle is as high as 34mpg and CO2 emissions are as low as 194g/km, an improvement of more than 25 per cent over the previous model’s figures. To maximise dynamic ability and ensure excellent efficiency, a weight loss of over 80kgs has been achieved - both models now feature a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic roof. BMW M engineers have paid particular attention to the car’s aerodynamic performance, and incorporated the latest Active M Differential amongst numerous other technical highlights. During the development process the engineers worked closely with BMW Motorsport’s professional racing drivers,

with extensive testing and set-up work carried out on the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. The new BMW M3 Saloon and new BMW M4 Coupé are formed from a host of finely blended elements, all working in perfect harmony to deliver outstanding performance, precision and agility on road and track. With the new BMW M3 Saloon and M4 Coupé, the engineers sought to optimally channel the air around the car in the quest for ultimate performance, while also ensuring the engine, powertrain and brakes receive the requisite cooling. Even when operating under heavy loads on the racing circuit. The aggressively styled front apron, smooth under-body and the clearly defined lip spoiler at the rear of the M3 Saloon (or integrated bootlid spoiler at the rear of the BMW M4 Coupé) reduce lift by an equal amount at the front and rear axle, to the benefit of handling. The Aero Curtain and M side gills, the latter with integrated Air Breathers minimise turbulence in the front wheel arches. These elements, together with the aerodynamically optimised side mirrors in familiar M twin-stalk style, are not only distinctive design features, they also help to reduce drag. The cars launched on June 21st and are priced at £56,175 OTR for the M3 Saloon and £56,635 OTR for the M4 Coupé. BMW UK expects to sell 1,000 BMW M4 Coupés and 180 M3 Saloons in their first full year of sales.

Audi’s high performance compact gets a soft top Rising temperatures call for a retractable roof, and for the first time in its threegeneration history the high performance Audi S3 now has an answer to that call. The all-new 300PS S3 Cabriolet - the first ever soft-top version of the acclaimed high performance compact - is available to order now priced from £38,910 OTR, and is set to arrive with UK customers from September. At the same time, the TDI arm of the open-air A3 range has also been bolstered by a muscular 184PS 2.0-litre TDI engine which is notable as the first in the history of the A3 Cabriolet ever to be offered with the option of quattro all-wheel-drive. Providing a highly desirable combination of strong performance and 65mpg-plus economy potential, the A3 Cabriolet 2.0 TDI 184PS joins the range priced from £29,735 OTR, and takes to our roads from October.
Beneath the bonnet of the trailblazing S3 is the acclaimed EU6compliant 2.0 TFSI engine, linked exclusively here to six-speed S tronic transmission and apportioning its power four ways via the multi-plate clutchbased quattro all-wheel-drive system. Its substantial 300 PS power peak is available between 5,500 and 6,200rpm and peak torque of 380Nm is on tap from 1,800-5,500rpm, so a 5.4-second 062mph sprint and a governed 155mph top speed are well within its grasp. Combined fuel consumption stands at an impressive 39.8mpg, corresponding to CO2 emissions of 165g/km.

Intern’s Qoros 9 Sedan Concept makes UK debut
After an internship during which he worked amongst some of the most talented automobile designers in the industry, a design student’s vision of a Qoros for the year 2020 was showcased at the Coventry University Degree Show in the UK. Jihoon Seo – a 29-year-old Korean – undertook a five-month spell with the brand’s designers in Shanghai as part of the Qoros Design Team’s internship programme. Qoros then sponsored Seo through his finalyear project that represented the culmination of his studies at Coventry University’s School of Art and Design. During his internship, Seo was mentored by Tim Pilsbury (British), Senior Manager of the Qoros design studio in Shanghai. For his final year project, Qoros briefed Seo to create a flagship concept saloon for the new China-based international brand to launch in the year 2020, specifically aimed at 40-50 year-old professionals living in a modern metropolitan city. Unveiled at the Coventry University Degree Show as a 1:4.5 scale clay model, the Qoros 9 Sedan Concept displays a next-generation interpretation of Qoros’ pioneering New Premium philosophy. It
exhibits several design cues evident in the brand’s Qoros 3 Sedan – on sale in China and Slovakia since late 2013 – and Qoros 3 Hatch, which will join the Sedan in showrooms in China in the middle of 2014. It also introduces some new concept design themes for the future. Clean horizontal lines and generous proportions give the Qoros 9 Sedan Concept a simple, modern and distinctive look and the present-day Qoros signature hockey-stick design theme is featured in several individual styling elements around the car. The side profile is elegant and powerful, with a bluff leading edge and coupé-like rear, where the Cpillar extends almost all the way to the boot-lid spoiler. At the front a trapezoidal grille with a chrome surround,
flanked by powerful LED Xenon headlamps and fog lamps, creates a strong, impactful face. Compact rear combination lights feature three horizontal LED bars to accentuate the car’s width and imposing stature. The Qoros 9 Sedan Concept has no traditional door mirrors; instead, a high-definition rear-view camera is discreetly integrated into the LED side indicator repeater module just below the base of each A-pillar. Perforated and diamond-cut eightspoke 19-inch alloy wheels exude dynamism and a premium feel. During the Degree Show, Seo was bestowed with an award for “Best Flat Work” for his sketches and renderings of the Qoros 9 Sedan Concept.

CLASSICS: Dr Prakash has 225 cars, 60 motorcycles, horse carriages and cycles all housed at his farm outside Bangalore
Surgeon-turned businessman to showcase two of his prized possessions at the Salon Privé An Indian surgeon’s collection of classic cars spanning several eras, is to be showcased right here in England, and boy… if these cars could speak they’d have one hell of a story to tell! As one of the world’s most prolific classic car owners Dr Ravi Prakash has a stunning collection of much-loved classics including Mercedes, Rolls-Royces, Jaguars, Mustangs, Corvettes, Sunbeams, Cadillac’s, Packard’s, Lanchesters, Daimlers and Delages. The Prakash’s are the first family in India who are huge enthusiasts of the vintage and classic car movement and it was only natural that Dr Prakash would be invited to display two cars from his prized collection at this year’s Salon Privé in West London. Dr Prakash, affectionately called “Doc” by the vintage car-world, acquired his first ‘classic’ in 1979 - a Sunbeam-Talbot 1937, 2 litre sports tourer, willed to him by Retd. General Mahadevan, Commander of the Indian Army who lived in Madras. This fuelled his passion and since then, Prakash has amassed over 225 cars, 60 motorcycles, horse carriages, cycles all housed in ‘Kala Farm’, on the outskirts of Bangalore, Southern India. A cardiothoracic surgeon by profession turned into businessman, Dr Prakash and his family, simply can’t wait for the weekends so that they can take these vintage cars out for drives along country roads and amidst the crazy Indian traffic! Fifteen employees are dedicated to working full-time on these cars in an inhouse workshop, tinkering, painting, repairing and sourcing parts from all over the world. Commenting, Dr Prakash said: “Ever
ENTHUSIASTS: Dr Ravi Prakash along with his wife and two daughters are immersed in their passion for vintage cars
since I acquired my first classic car over three decades ago - 1937 Sunbeam Talbot 2 litre, I’ve not looked back. “My love of classic cars borders on ‘‘obsession’ at times. “The acquired passion and the encouragement from my wife Sabena, our daughters Rupali and Shefali are carrying on my legacy and making my dreams come true. “I want the younger generation to explore the wonder and magic of classic cars.” Dr Prakash - the secretary of one of the oldest classic car clubs in India, “Karnataka Vintage and Classic Car Club” (KVCCC) in Bangalore has been instrumental in organising number of events for the social cause for over a decade. He is planning to build the largest classical car museum in India to house the collection which is expected to be finished in late 2016. His collection has been dedicated to a charitable trust and the monies earned
by the museum will be used for treatment of road traffic accident victims. More recently, the Prakash family featured in the inaugural ceremony of India’s first GP circuit in Delhi, where more of Dr Prakash’s cars from his 200piece collection drove the F1 drivers around the circuit for the opening ceremony parade. Daughter, Shefali drove Jaime Alguersuari, Rupali drove Sergio Perez, Sabena drove Sebastien Buemi and “Doc” drove Lewis Hamilton. Salon Privé is a boutique event which opens on Wednesday 3rd September with the crème de la crème of classic cars from around the world competing in the internationally-renowned Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance. “Docs” 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I and 1930 Delage D8 S are both entered in the ‘Fit for a King’ class which showcases cars from around the world with Head of State or Royal provenance.

MEDALS: The Huddersfield TAGB club picked up a host of trophies at last weekend’s Midlands Championship, with Natasha Zafar (left) clinching Gold in the Ladies Tag Team Sparring contest
Fighting to the top Huddersfield keep up their winning ways TAE KWON-DO: Competitors from all across the UK travelled to the tournament to take part in the highly regarded contest
By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
A local martial arts club were celebrating last weekend after coming away with a significant medal haul at a regional championships. Huddersfield’s Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain (T.A.G.B) club can’t seem to lose at the moment with their latest trip, to the Midlands Championship in the Worcester Arena, ending in a
familiar fashion. Hundreds of participants travelled from across the UK to take part in the separate categories, which make up one of the largest martial arts competitions in the county. 28-year-old Tae Kwon Do instructor, Zeeshan Zafar, said he was proud to see his students compete admirably on such a large stage. “I brought the students down, and they definitely did the town proud with an impressive medal
haul in categories including sparring, patterns, and team events,” he said. “I hope their achievements will inspire many of the younger club members to go on to greater things and continue building on the successes we have been achieving.” It wasn’t only the students who found success at the tournament with Zeeshan himself picking up his own accolade. Competing in the Men’s Black Belt Tag Team sparring event, the Bradford resident came away with
a Bronze Medal to add to his evergrowing collection. Meanwhile, his sister, Natasha, turned up the sibling rivalry as she showed martial arts certainly does run in the family. Two second place finishes in the Ladies Green Patterns and Sparring events, were further backed up with a Gold medal in the Ladies Tag Team Sparring contest. Other notable performers on the day include Aleeya Sohail, third in the Girls Yellow Belt Pee Wee category; Neha Tabasum, third in
the Girls Lightweight Yellow Belt Sparring; and Dev Patel, who became Midland Champion in the boys red belt category with a first place finish in middleweight sparring. Huddersfield’s T.A.G.B classes train on Mondays and Wednesdays, between 6.30pm and 7.30pm at the Highfields Community Centre, Cemetery Road. Anybody interested in taking up Tae Kwon-Do should contact Mr Zeeshan Zafar on 07803 172 895.

Schumacher out of coma
Small Target,
Seven times Formula One racing champion Michael Schumacher, who suffered severe head injuries in a ski accident last year, has come out of a coma and been transferred to a Swiss medical centre. Schumacher, the most successful Formula One racer of all time, has had several brain operations since his accident in the French Alps in late December. He was moved for further treatment early on Monday to Lausanne's CHUV hospital, a sprawling modern glass-fronted complex above Lake Geneva. Over the Christmas period the former driver slammed his head against a rock while skiing offpiste near the family’s chalet at Meribel in the French Alps, about two hours from their home along Lake Geneva. Schumacher, hugely popular in his native Germany and across the world in a sport that had become immensely lucrative in the course of his career, has been regularly visited at his bedside by his wife Corinna.

Hello Hockaday
Leeds United have appointed the relatively unknown David Hockaday as their new manager as the Championship outfit prepares for its first full season under the ownership of Massimo Cellino. Hockaday, who has never managed in any of England’s top four divisions, was sacked from his role at Blue Square Premier side, Forest Green Rovers, after a poor start to the 2012/13 campaign. During his tenure, the side lost seven of eight games which makes the appointment at Elland Road even more surprising. Many fans had been hoping a big name manager would come in to help ‘steady the ship’ following Brian McDermott’s mishandled departure in May. 56-year-old Hockaday has signed a two-year deal with the club and will assume overall responsibility for the coaching staff and first team playing squad with immediate effect. He has previously held coaching roles at Premier League clubs Southampton and Leicester City and played for Yorkshire side, Hull City, in the early 90’s.

BOWLER: Stuart Binny’s fantastic record of six wickets for just four runs ensured India picked up a 47 run victory over Bangladesh last week
In a test where bowlers excelled and batsmen slumped for both sides, India picked up a somewhat bizarre victory as their 105-run haul was enough to see of Bangladesh. Chasing down the low target, the visitors must have thought that their eight-game losing streak was coming to an end yet when Stuart Binny conjured figures of six for four, the unwanted streak was extended. In any other encounter, Taskin Ahmed would have easily picked up the manof-the-match award with his figures of five for 28 yet that is now how the script was meant to read. Suresh Raina top scored in the whole contest with a measly 27 runs, as India elected to bat first. The hosts opening partnership, Ajinkya Rahane (zero) and Robin Uthappa (14) set the pace of the game with the surface clearly favouring the bowlers at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Umesh Yadav stepped up to bat last and was one of only four batsmen to break into double figures with a score of 17.
India pick up bizarre victory
His day came to an end, as did India’s, when Shakib Al Hasan picked up his only wicket of the game, with Yadav being caught by Nasir Hossain. In reply, Bangladesh could only muster a total of 56 runs with four players being bowled for a duck. Binny’s amazing haul began with the taking of top scorer, Mithan Ali, whose 27 runs had looked like steadying the ship, taking his sides score to 39 for two. Yet when he was caught by Akhsar Patel, it signalled the start of an astonishing fall for the Bangladeshis. Just 22 runs were scored by the men who followed Patel, with Binny’s six-wickets being back up by Mohit Sharma’s figures of four for 22. Spectators who headed down for the One Day International could never have imagined such a result.

RETURNED: Moin Valli and his driving partner, Andrew McGee, returned just in time for Father’s Day after a four day adventure to the Le Mans 24-hour race circuit
With enough time left over to still pay a visit to Normandy, to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers from the D-Day landings, they then headed back up North to catch an overnight ferry from Caen to Portsmouth. It was then a direct route up the motorway for the men as they made it back to Huddersfield, via Silverstone of course, in time for tea on Father’s Day. Moin, an optician by trade, said he had an amazing time on the trip and explained how important it was for people to help with fundraising initiatives. He said: “We had a fantastic time which was made very special by the knowledge that we have raised about £5,000 for the Forget Me Not Children’s
Hospice. “The hospice has to raise over £2.8million pounds each year to provide their vital services with less than five per cent coming from government funding so initiatives such as this really do make a difference.” Kate Goldring, Corporate Partnership Manager at the charity added: “The Forget Me Not 500 offers an exciting and unique way for supporters to get involved with our charity and we have been thrilled with the great efforts that both Valli Opticians and Deco-Pak have put in to the rally. “Their cars looked absolutely fantastic and we couldn’t wait to hear how they got on when they got back. Their support has been incredible and we would like to say a huge thank you to them both.”

SUSPENDED: Mohammad Ashraful will not be able to play in any format of cricket after admitting to charges of match fixing in Twenty20 competition last year

Eight-year ban Former Bangladeshi captain handed lengthy suspension With corruption threatening to tarnish the reputation of the supposed ‘gentleman sport’ across Asia, the news of a former international cricket captain being suspended for match fixing is certainly not what lovers of the sport want to hear. Mohammad Ashraful, who has played 61 tests and 177 one-day international matches for Bangladesh since debuting in 2001, is the latest guilty party tied up in the corruption charges. On Wednesday last week, he was handed an eight-year ban from the game after being found guilty of involvement in match-fixing in Twenty20 competition last year. The right-handed batsman, who confessed to the crime after being quizzed by ICC anti-corruption officials in June 2013, will not be able to play in any formats of the sport. A tribunal also found two other cricketers guilty for similar charges and handed out suspensions accordingly. New Zealand batsman, Lou Vincent, and Sri Lanka’s Kaushal Lokuarachchi, will not be able to play competitive

Drivers head south in fundraising mission
DRIVER: Moin Valli took part in the Forget Me Not 500 earlier this month and helped raise £5,000 for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice
By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
A pair of fundraising petrol heads from Huddersfield hit the road earlier this month as they raised thousands of pounds for a local children’s hospice. Moin Valli and teammate, Andrew McGee, headed south to France for an experience like no other as they partook in the
Forget Me Not 500, raising money for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. The team were given just £500 towards expenses for their fourday trip, and were targeted with raising sponsorship of £3,000. In their classic MGB GT sports-car, the pair set off on their journey on Thursday 12th June heading for the Channel Tunnel. Crossing from Kent to France they even managed to
squeeze in a stop at Brands Hatch (race track) on the way, in build up to the Le Mans circuit. A steady drive through France saw them arrive at the world-renowned Le Mans 24 hour track on Saturday where they were able to soak in the atmosphere of the historic venue.
