A hat-trick from Troy Bedzo of Lister Community school and two goals from Jerimiah of Kingsford community school cancelled out any hope for the opposition. You may also want to watch: Nonetheless the goal of the game came from Malachi, who expertly dispatched a counter attack, which saw Newham move from one end of the field to the other in the space of 11 seconds.

Teen dumped in Bristol by traffickers at 13 facing deportation
A teenager has been told he’ll be kicked out of the country just as he’s taking his A-levels - even though he’s become a model student with a bright future in Bristol. A huge campaign is now mobilising to force the Home Office into a U-turn on its decision to deport 18-year-old Stiven Bregu. As a 13-year-old, he was dumped by people-smugglers alone in the middle of the night in Keynsham, when he could barely speak English and didn’t know where he was. He was sent to the UK against his will, as his mother wanted to get him out of Albania so he could escape a violent and abusive situation. Now, five years later and having become an inspirational student in Bristol, the Home Office has left Stiven, his friends and schoolteachers stunned by a decision to deport him back to Albania. His tutor has launched a petition to try to persuade the Home Office to change its mind, saying that Stiven now has the potential to become a huge asset to British society, and Bristol. … [Read more...] about Teen dumped in Bristol by traffickers at 13 facing deportation

Leicester City Champions mural could be painted over
It has become a symbol of the glorious 2015/16 football season when Leicester City – the 5,000-1 underdogs – were crowned Premier League champions of England. But the mural – showing the 12 key players of that period along with manager Claudio Ranieri – could soon be painted over. The new owner said he has taken the tough decision as part of his plans to redevelop the building. But he said it won’t be the end of the story – as he wants original artist Richard Wilson to recreate the mural in a better location somewhere else in the city. It will even be updated with an added tribute to club chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha – the man who made the dream come true, but who died in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium last October. The Leicester City mural has proudly graced the back of the former Marks Electrical building in King Richards Road, for the past three years. London van driver-turned-artist Richard Wilson originally travelled to … [Read more...] about Leicester City Champions mural could be painted over
California couple who held 13 kids captive face sentencing in “house of horrors” case
The California couple who held their 13 children captive for years in a horrific child abuse case will be sentenced Friday. David and Louise Turpin face 25 years to life in prison. The "house of horrors" case shocked the country in January 2018 after a 17-year-old girl jumped out a window from the filthy home where she lived in isolation with her parents and 12 siblings. The girl didn't know what month it was or what the word medication meant, but knew enough to punch the digits 9-1-1 into a barely workable cellphone and then began describing years of abuse to a police dispatcher.The couple pleaded guilty in Riverside County Superior Court in February to torture and other abuse and neglect so severe it stunted their children's growth, led to muscle wasting and left two of the girls unable to bear children.Before the 17-year-old escaped from the home in a middle-class section of the city of Perris, about 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles, the Turpins had lived largely out of view.
