IN THE NEWS

We start today with several news items:
  • Journalist Marie Colvin's death in Syria. We discuss the need for frontline, objective reporting, which in war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction and death, and trying to  bear witness. For Colvin, it meant 'trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda when armies, tribes or terrorists clash.'
  • New technologies: Google X ‘plan for mobile phone-glasses’
  • Adele's success in the music industry and the reason for staging music awards like the Brits
  • BAFTA film nominations: the films and their audiences
