O.J. Simpson's trial gets new witness confessions
by Corina Ciubotaru


O.J. Simpson is facing another trial, this time because he broke into a hotel room with some friends and pointed guns at some people's heads and stole their O.J. memorabilia. It sounds like a crazy case but it's a serious enough matter for the former athlete who has been under trial for a month now. Apparently, a man called Tom Riccio, an old acquaintance of Simpson's, told him a collector named Alfred Beardsley was in a Las Vegas hotel with some O.J. memorabilia. Beardsley, a big fan of Simpson, was threatened to be shot by the men who broke in his room and the memorabilia was taken. Later, Beardsley dropped the charges against the former football star, who still claims the objects he took were rightfully his, having been previously stolen from him. The trial is coming across a new twist now, as some of O.J.'s co-defendants agreed to testify against him in exchange for a lowered sentence. Walter Alexander and Charles Cashmore, the men who went in the room with Simpson are now prepared to tell their side of the story in court and perhaps change the outcome of this lawsuit that could mean a life in prison for O.J. At 60, he's already been through an outrageous trial after he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted in 1995 but in the civil case that followed, it was decided he should pay $33.5 million dollars to the Goldmans.

Global warming,(not) just a bussines
by Ivana Bruderova


Delegates from 190 countries of the world take part in the biggest conference for saving our planet which have been organized. From government ministers to farmers and fishermen, more than 10,000 people try to arrange alternative for the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012, in these days in Bali. Critics says they are contributing to something which in fact they want to stop. "Nobody denies this is an important event, but huge number of people are going and their emissions are probably going to be greater than a small African country," said Chris Goodall, author of the book "How to Live a Low-Carbon Life". But specialists claim the answer of question if we really need to do it is: "Yes." Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the UN Climate Change Conference says:" If you don't put the U.S, big developing countries, the European Union around the table to craft the solution together, nothing will happen and then prophecy of scientists in terms of rising emissions and its consequences will become a reality."As a symbolic gestures, all handed out documents are printed on recycled paper and 200 bright yellow bicycles have been offered to participants, which can be used to moving among the places of conference. Another rarity in Indonesia are bins separated plastic and paper for them because formal recycling is here nonexistent. Is improbable that there will be some definitive result, but this can be a start of new effort to make a compromise and to establish conditions acceptable for developed as well as for developing countries.More than 100 delegates was sent by U.S, all countries from the E.U are represented by national teams(Germany 70 people, France 50 people...). Many of them are just observers. Non-governmental organizations are also attending, like Oxfam and CARE, which provide food and other humanitarian for hungry. At last but not least those who have something to sell - technologies to produce drinking water, etc. To sum up global warming is everyone's business.
