RISPOSTA  In 1999 Jack Straw, then Britain's Home Secretary, was attacked for being rude about an ethnic minority. There were demands for criminal investigations, appeals to various commissions and public agencies, a fevered debate over whether Mr Straw was racist. On that occasion, he was accused of demeaning gypsies by saying that people who masqueraded as travellers seemed to think they had a right to commit crimes. In the past few weeks Mr Straw, now leader of the House of Commons, has triggered a similar response by arguing that the Muslim veil (i.e., the full, face-covering niqab) is an unhelpful symbol of separateness. This week he won the backing of his boss, Tony Blair. These episodes are reminders not that Mr Straw is hostile to minorities (he isn't) but that any debate in Europe about minority rights soon degenerates into a fight between self-proclaimed community leaders, public agencies, the police, courts and the law. It may be hard to reconcile militant Islam with secular Europe. The word "demeaning" means ... |

RISPOSTA ITV made its long-awaited debut on digital satellite television last night after an agreement with BSkyB that followed months of negotiations. Until now ITV has been available in digital form only on cable and digital terrestrial TV. But from last night the digital version of ITV1, with its 16 regional variations, was available on Sky Digital. The ITV2 channel will follow in the next few days and will be available for the first time in the 5.5 million homes with digital satellite - an increase of more than 150 per cent on its current audience. The deal between ITV and BSkyB, in which the News Corporation, parent company of The Times, has a 36.3 per cent stake, should give an advertising revenue boost to Granada and Carlton, the two main ITV companies. Advertisers were angered by the fact that ITV was not carried on Sky Digital, the country's most popular digital platform. ITV will pay BSkyB about £13 million a year under the deal. Stuart Prebble, chief executive of ITV, said last night that the deal was "good news for satellite viewers", who will be able to watch ITV1 and ITV2 with digital quality pictures and full programme information.

RISPOSTA Jane had had a very hard work-day that Friday, her boss had asked her to take care of some new customers and she had left the office at 8 p.m., tired and upset. She had been dreaming of her comfortable sofa all day and she was now in her cottage, watching her favouriteTV programme, relaxing and enjoying her herbal tea. Suddenly she heard a strange noise: it seemed like someone had opened the door, but she was sure to have locked it and she was expecting no visits. She switched the TV off, put her slippers on and went to the door that was, indeed, open with a cold breeze coming inside. She looked around in the garden, it was dark and silent. Nobody was there except for Cyrus, her old cat, that was quietly sleeping on the rocking chair. Jane couldn't understand how the door might be open, the lock was brand new and the key was still in there. Her heart was beating very fast and she started to move towards the small gate that separated her cottage from the street, when she stumbled on a big box, falling on the grass. She could hardly breath and she was totally terrified. A box? In her garden? With her door open? What was that? How was it possible? Was it a bad joke? Complete the sentence with the correct option: "That Friday Jane ______ " |
