  • Clubbing to death an adult yellow fin tuna on the blue deck of a traditional dhoni fishing boat on the Indian Ocean, Maldives
    maldives316-14-11-2007.jpg
  • Facing its own blood and guts on the blue deck, a yellow fin tuna is dead on the floor of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. After clubbing it death, fishermen from the Maldives have removed its respiratory organs with sharp knives and washes it down with a hose. Next it will be plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught (often weighing 50kg) before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

  • From 1,100m away, a shooting target at a firing range belonging to the Land Warfare Centre, has been punctured by bullet holes from a new British-made Long Range L115A3 sniper rifle on Salisbury Plain, Warminster, England.  Sniping means concealment, observation and assassination, a strategy the British are using more against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Swiss Lapua .338 inch rounds (8.59mm) travel at sub-sonic speeds of 936 metres/sec, finding its target accurately up to 1km. The rifle weighs 6.8kg with telescopic image-intensified scopes to 25x life size vision, made by Schmidt & Bender. Front-mounted 'suppressor' minimises the signature normally compromising snipers' position. At £23,000 each, a £4 million contract has been awarded to Accuracy International, to provide the Army, Royal Marines and RAF. The army say it's their best ever sniper rifle.

  • A young adventurer bends down to inspect a newly-killed forest pig whilst on a Raleigh International expedition in Brunei, Borneo. The hog is dead and the boy wears only flip-flops and shorts but this is one of the remotest and most dangerous habitats on the planet and will have been a life-changing experience for him and his friends from all over the world who will have raised several thousands of sponsored Pounds for the privilege of spending two months away from a dull, comfortable life at home, rather than building community projects like bridges or schools. Raleigh International is a charity that provides adventurous and challenging expeditions for people from all backgrounds, nationalities and ages, especially young people. Over the last 23 years, 30,000 people have been involved in more than 250 expeditions to over 40 countries.

  • A fisherman from the Maldives clubs to death a yellow fin tuna on the deck of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. Using a handmade instrument of death, carved from beach flotsam, the man raises his hands to again bring the club down on the dying fish whose skull has already been smashed by repeated blows. Next it will be gutted efficiently with sharp knives and immediately plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

  • The faces and names of those killed while trying to cross  Berlin Wall, the former border between Communist East and West Berlin during the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

  • The names of battles in nothern France, scenes of slaughter and sacrifice for young men of the First World War, seen on a memorial at Wincheters College, England where many old boys schooled here and who went on to become leaders and officers in the trenches. The lost generation of British youth is displayed on such memorials across the country, killed at Arras, Bapaume and Vimy - and especially on the Somme during the conflict called 'the war to end all wars'. World War I (WWI) was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. Ultimately, more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed.

  • Two serving soldiers in civilian suits but wearing the insignia and badges of the Royal Military Police (RMP), talk quietly together while poignantly paying their respects to the hundreds of markers that symbolise war dead. Crosses and poppies mark anonymous fallen British soldiers and other servicemen and women, all killed during recent conflicts. Dedications from loved-ones or simply well-wishers are written on the wooden crosses on the weekend that Britain commemorates those killed on active service in trouble spots and war locations around the world, the markers a laid on the grass of Westminster Abbey's lawns on Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament. Armistice weekend is largely held on the closest Sunday to the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, when hostilities famously ended in on 11th November 1918...

  • Standing behind barriers opposite Prime Minister Brown's Downing Street in Whitehall, the heart of Britain's governmental district in Westminster, some of the thousands of pro-Tibet protesters angrily shout their messages to 80 torchbearing personalities who ran 31 miles through the UK capital's streets. We see them holding images of dead Tibetans, killed by Chinese forces during the most recent crackdown in Lhasa and holding placards with anti-Chinese messages. Amid chaotic scenes across London and Paris where mass-arrests and civil disobedience marked what was planned as a  pre-Olympic carnival, the IOC's event proved a disaster for Chinese organisers. 37 were arrested but these facts were blanked from official TV screens which showed only the calm personlities who carried in turn the Olympic flame.
