It is surprises me how often news items on this Middle Eastern news channel never appear on the BBC. Sometimes it is good to look at the news from different angles to be sure it is reasonably free from bias. The BBC is pretty good, but it sometimes misses important international news.

Sepura shares
My old company, Sepura PLC - I am very out of touch these days - makes TETRA radios which are widely used in public security. Today,at 1600z, the shares were up to 149.75p. I wonder if its shares are seen as a safe haven when the world is uncertain? Certainly, the company has always been profitable as far back as I remember. When first floated, shares were 140p.
Meanwhile, the FTSE 100 has been drifting lower on international worries over growth and EU issues.

Weather bomb

Looks like a so called "weather bomb" is to hit the north of the UK today. Even the south could be hit later.

Threat to serving police officers
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-30390392 .]]
Apparently the West Midland Police have received credible evidence of a threat to capture a serving officer. I assume this came from IS or Al Qaeda, but I don't know this is so. Clearly worrying times for all police officers anywhere.

South African Court dismisses Dewani murder case
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-30375335 .
I was not there so it is unfair to make any real comment. If he was innocent the man should rightly be freed. If the case was thrown out simply because they could not prove "beyond reasonable doubt" his guilt then what? It was a strange case. Why travel to a rough township at night anyway? Odd.

Poor voice
One of my frustrations with my stroke is my very poor voice. I want to say more but am told my voice is weak and indistinct. I get very breathless talking. I get SO frustrated.
