Manchester United were crowned champions of England
May 16th, 2009 by Webmaster

Manchester United were crowned champions of England for a record-equalling 18th time at Old Trafford.

A goalless draw with Arsenal ensured Liverpool losing out the title chase to their north-west rivals.

After over three decades as the unquestioned kings of English football, Liverpool FC now have someone else to share the title with.

The title is United’s third in succession and sees them equal Liverpool’s record of 18 English top-flight league wins, 11 of those coming in the Premier League era.

Sir Alex Ferguson already has his sights on reclaiming the Barclays Premier League next season targeting the 19th title.

May 16th, 2009 by Webmaster

Hugh Van Es, the Dutch photographer whose photos of the 1975 fall of Saigon became one of the most lasting images of the Vietnam war passed away at 67 in Hong Kong where he lived for more than 35 years.

He is part of the generation of photographers and journalists who covered the Vietnam war. Many paid tribute to his courage, talent and personality.

He is also one of the few Western photographers that hang on to the very last moments to witness the war’s end, shown thru his lens of a helicopter rescuing people from the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon.

After the Vietnam war, he continue to cover major events across Asia, including the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in Phillipines.

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ child star Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail left homeless after his family’s shack was demolished by Mumbai council who insists that the slums are illegal constructions.

No prior warning given for the demolition. These people really need a roof as the monsoon will begin in a few weeks.

Azharuddin and his family spent the night on the streets.
