They gave no indication that the meeting had produced any further progress towards a resolution of the dispute over four Pacific islands which Russia calls the Southern Kuriles and Japan calls the Northern Territories.

Download Free MP3 Blame Fiction' by the Belle Game

"'Blame Fiction' reminisces on youthful encounters with narcissism, expectation, codependency and regular lies. On one end we see somebody struggle along with the inability to exercise honesty with their lover and themselves, and on the additional end we view their partner drop from the heightened expectancy of how things should be," Andrea Lo tells Rolling Stone. "Conceived in a basement and inspired by scented candles, the song touches on the gray matter that lays among each and every conflict and every betrayal shared among 2 individuals who are seemingly close."

Sunday, April 14, 2013

BBC presenter Andrew Marr has told how he feels "lucky to be alive" three months after suffering a stroke.

Marr, 53, made his first television appearance on his own show on Sunday morning and spoke of his battle to regain his health.

Despite still struggling to walk properly, he insists he will return to his previous job as one of the BBC's top presenters and interviewers.

He said: "I had a major stroke, I'm frankly lucky to be alive. I had been heavily overworking - mostly my own fault - in the year before that.

"I'd torn the carotid artery, which takes blood into the brain, and had a stroke overnight - which basically wipes out a bit of your brain.

"In my case, luckily not my voice or memory or anything like that, but the whole left hand side of my body, which is why I'm still not able to walk fluently. A kind of elegant hobble is the best I can manage.

"My left arm isn't much good yet. I've got a lot of physio still to do."

The presenter explained that the stroke in January came after he had been working very hard and also exercising intensively.

He said: "I'd had two minor strokes, it turned out, in that year - which I hadn't noticed - and then I did the terrible thing of believing what I read in the newspapers.

"The newspapers were saying what we must all do is take very intensive exercise, in short bursts, and that's the way to health.

"Well I went on to a rowing machine and gave it everything I had, and had a strange feeling afterwards - a blinding headache, and flashes of light - served out the family meal, went to bed, woke up the next morning lying on the floor unable to move."

Mr Marr pre-recorded interviews with the Conservative former Cabinet minister Lord Parkinson and the Labour peer Baroness Kennedy on Saturday at Broadcasting House.

The live section of his programme is still being hosted by guest presenters, with newsreader Sophie Raworth standing in on Sunday.

Mr Marr assured her that he remained determined to return to full-time duties in time.

"The only way through is intensive physio and doing a lot of it. And I'm now in the period where if I really concentrate on the physio, I will get better, and if I don't, I won't. Which is why I'm not back trying to do the job full-time, I have to say," he said.

"I'm going to be taking your chair I'm absolutely sure, when I'm ready. I'm certainly coming back. I've got a lot more to say about it all, but I'm going to wait until I've gone through the physio to do so."

Ex-Apprentice Champion Manages to lose Sugars Work Situation

Former Apprentice winner Stella English has lost her claim of constructive dismissal against millionaire businessman Lord Sugar.

Ms English, 34, sued the Labour peer after resigning from the £100,000-a-year job that was her prize for winning series six of the BBC1 show in 2010.

She had complained her role at Lord Sugar's Viglen division was that of an "overpaid lackey", which her former boss strongly denied.

Ms English also claimed the job was "a sham" and a "PR construct", a tribunal heard last month.

The businessman insisted he had no case to answer and that Ms English was a "chancer" and a "money-grabber" who brought the case with the intention of settling out of court.

"I'm afraid she underestimated me and her reputation is now in tatters," Lord Sugar said.

In a written judgment, tribunal judge John Warren said: "This was a claim which should never have been brought."

Lord Sugar has now vowed to take on the so-called claim culture as a "personal crusade".

He said: "She picked on the wrong person here and I do hope that, apart from it being a victory for me, that other business people will start to realise they shouldn't succumb to this type of blackmail and they should fight it."

After winning the TV series, Ms English was given a job at Viglen, supplying IT equipment to academy schools.

But she claimed that when the business mogul told her he would not be renewing her contract she was given no choice but to resign.

Ms English, who quit Viglen in May 2011, said she had no real role there and was not taken seriously by her colleagues.

She said she did not feel like Lord Sugar's "apprentice" as she only saw him five times during her 13-month employment.

Ms English had fought back tears in court as she said she was given no guidance about what she was meant to be doing, and was "ostracised" by her colleagues.

She claimed her employment was a "sham" and that she had been relegated to administrative tasks.

Lord Sugar said Ms English tried to 'extract money' from him

Ms English, of Whitstable, Kent, also said she felt pressurised into taking up a new position at Lord Sugar's internet set-top box company YouView, but the tribunal panel said this was unfounded.

In September 2011, Ms English was told that her contract was not being renewed and she then quit.

However, the peer said at the time there was no long-term position available at YouView and that she had already made it clear she did not want to work at Viglen.

Lord Sugar said during the case that Ms English wrongly believed he was "scared" of articles about him or The Apprentice appearing in the press and that he would pay her off to avoid a hearing.

The tribunal judgment said it was made "abundantly clear" to Ms English that she would not be working directly under Lord Sugar.

It said she had the wrong idea about how glamorous, or otherwise, the role would be and that she had stated in her evidence that she believed previous winners of The Apprentice "had accompanied Lord Sugar in his private jet".

Lord Sugar said afterwards: "There was never a case for us to answer but her need for money and fame meant that the whole system was subjected to this charade.

"I have been cleared of a derisory attempt to smear my name and extract money from me.

"The allegations were without substance, and I believe this case was brought with one intention in mind - the presumption that I would not attend the tribunal, that I would not testify and that I would settle out of court, sending Ms English on her way with a tidy settlement."

He added: "This case was a sham and a total abuse of a tribunal system, which is there to protect employees who have been mistreated.

"It is not there to aid those chancing their arm at landing a big payday. I hope that other companies will learn from this example and also fight off derisory claims."

BBC In Ding Dong Over Anti-Thatcher Song

The BBC says it is yet to decide whether to play Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead which mocks the death of Margaret Thatcher during the Radio 1 top 40 countdown.

The song from the Wizard Of Oz has been climbing the music download charts after anti-Thatcher campaigners encouraged people to buy it in the wake of the former prime minister's death.

The tune is already in the top five ahead of the weekend's Official Chart Show results.

Some reports say Radio 1, which has a target audience of 15 to 29-year-olds, is planning to play the track on the countdown and could have a reporter explain to listeners why the 1939 song is in the charts.

In a statement, the BBC said: "The Official Chart Show on Sunday is a historical and factual account of what the British public has been buying and we will make a decision about playing it when the final chart positions are clear."

Speaking to Sky News, the Sun's political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, said the BBC was "in a very difficult position".

He said: "It's an incredibly hard decision to make. They have to balance freedom of expression, the right to protest - albeit it very rudely - on one side, and also people's right not to be offended when listening to a simple chart show.

"It's a hugely offensive song and it's offensive that people are buying it - it's childish, but they also have a right to do that and say that.

"There are a lot worst things that you can do and if people want to be rude to a certain level then that is their right."

If the BBC decides to ban the song, it will not be the first time that the corporation has censored the airwaves.

Both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority, which was responsible for regulating commercial broadcasting, refused to play the Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen when it was released during the Silver Jubilee in 1977. The song reached number two in the charts.

The BBC also banned Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 1983 single Relax from both radio and television after deciding it was too obscene, but it went on to reach number one in January 1984.

In 2007, Radio 1 bleeped out some of the words on the Pogues' Fairytale Of New York to avoid offence, but it later reversed its decision after listeners complained.

Reebok has ended its relationship with rapper Rick Ross

Reebok has ended its relationship with rapper Rick Ross, whose song featuring lyrics that seem to boast about drugging and raping a woman has caused an uproar.

"While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse," the sportswear brand said in a statement.

"At this time, it is in everyone's best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr Ross."

Ross had an endorsement deal with the company and promoted its shoes in print and TV commercials. 

Last week, the Miami-based rapper apologised on Twitter for his part on fellow rapper Rocko's song U.O.E.N.O, which contains lyrics that seem to refer to drugging and having sex with a woman who is unaware of what is happening.

It came the same day a women's group, UltraViolet, protested outside of one Reebok's stores in Manhattan.

Various women's rights organisations and some politicians have also been calling for more protests and boycotts over U.O.E.N.O, while some radio stations have dropped the record from their playlists.

In Rocko's song, Ross raps about giving a woman the drug MDMA, known as Molly, and having his way with her.

"Put Molly all up in her champagne, she ain't even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it," he says.

In his apology on Twitter, Ross said he does not condone rape and apologised for the lyrics that were "interpreted as rape".

A week prior, Ross said in a radio interview that "there was a misunderstanding with the lyric" and that he didn't use the term "rape".

Protest For Reebok To Fire Rick RossUlraviolet protested outside a Reebok store in New York

Rocko told US station Hot 97 that he is removing Ross' rap from his song as the backlash "put him a position where I have to change" it.

UltraViolet said the group is "thrilled to hear that Reebok is joining the fight against rape culture and dropping Rick Ross".

"This sends a strong message that rapping about drugging and raping an unconscious woman is not only morally wrong, but has real consequences," the statement said.

Four of Ross' five albums have reached gold status, including last year's God Forgives, I Don't, which earned a Grammy nomination for best rap album.

His hits include The Boss and Aston Martin Music, and he has collaborated with acts like Kanye West, Drake, John Legend and Nicki Minaj.
