Jake: Hello again and welcome to the second session of Outside looking In, Hello to all our readers and of course Eustache, We'll aim to provide an "outside" perspective on five topics or questions each day, our readers can ask questions related to current events UK and worldwide.

Eustache: Salutations

Jake: Again today we'll be taking our topics from BBC News, Most popular Now so lets take a look.

Net firms in music pirates deal

Six of the UK's biggest net providers have agreed a plan with the music industry to tackle piracy online.

Eustache: This will see alot of come back i suspect "will see hundreds of thousands of letters sent to net users suspected of illegally sharing music." a good number of these customers will have legitimate reasons for high "upload" rates on their lines and doubtless will be unappreciative of being "suspects" involved in criminal activity, while it seems humanity at this time suffers from a greater degree of paranoia and fearfulness, this course of action certainly do the fight against pirates very little in the way of good.

Jake: Obviously, Police use own bodies to save man

Two firearms officers are in hospital after using their own bodies to smother flames engulfing a knife-wielding man who had set himself alight.

Eustache: Personally i would have allowed him to burn as he obviously wished to, however if the report is indeed accurate i am "heartend" to read of police officers being efficient and proactive, its rare to read of selfless acts that humanity is capable of.

Jake: Right.. Snack firms pledge obesity fight

More than £200m has been pledged by several food and drinks companies, including Coca-Cola, Kellogg's, Mars and Nestle, in a bid to tackle obesity.

Eustache: My, my more good news, some of the bigger names taking responsibility for their "crop", notable perhaps for its rarity, Perhaps this is a small step towards promoting Balance for the lives of some, will other industries and companies follow suit? time will tell.

Jake: Interesting news yes. Teens want to talk more about sex

Parents are missing out on vital conversations with their children about sex because of embarrassment, a report for the government says.

Eustache: There are moments when NT's amaze me or even amuse me, a population that spends a little over half its life time naked and below the civilised exterior one of its greatest drives is towards sex, finds it impossible to sit, calmly and maturely with its off-spring to discuss such matters and promote responsible veiwpoint, a purely emotive and sadly detrimental mechanism.

Jake: and lastly Police shame nuisance callers

Avon and Somerset Police have released a compilation of non-emergency 999 calls from the public.

Eustache: My day it seems has been made, another humourus example of behaviours , not so humourus to the individual dying or watching a loved one die unable to connect to 999 in time to acquire the assistance that could save them, but amusing none the less, a hint NT's, a lack of Hazelnut tree's is -not- a police issue.

Jake: That's our five for today we have just run out of time, thankyou Eustache, and thankyou to our Readers, comments/questions are appreciated as well as welcomed.

Jake: Welcome to the first session of Outside looking In, Hello to all our readers and of course Eustache, We'll aim to provide an "outside" perspective on five topics or questions each day, our readers can ask questions related to current events UK and worldwide.

Eustache:Indeed, Hello.

Jake: For today and quite often we'll be taking our topics from BBC News, Most popular Now so lets take a look.

Gay bishop Robinson 'should quit'

The Archbishop of Sudan, Daniel Deng, has called for gay American bishop Gene Robinson to resign and go back to being "a normal Christian".

Eustache: As an outsider, theres very little i suppose i can say regarding Daniel Deng's request for bishop Robinson's resignation from his position, however of the Anglican/Homosexual "situation" as its progressed, I think think the Anglican church as a whole needs to take great care, Gods veiwpoint upon homosexuality has -long- been debated, with both "sides" offering "evidence" ranging from the intriguing to the implausible, however Jesus's approach to a certain prostitute remains without debate, i find validity to the proverb "Theres 3 sides, yours, mine and then the Truth" in these events.

Jake: Okay then, and next today Child knife sellers 'not jailed'

No one has been jailed for selling a knife to a child in England and Wales in the last five years, it has emerged.

Eustache:From the outside i actually find this "humourus", not that violators have not been jailed, but rather the seeming "suprise" at the significant rise in rise in Homicide by Sharp impliment, it is an old truth that the "evil" we permit will only increase in magnitude, it is better for the unlawful to fear the consequences of breaking a law than it is the lawful to fear the unlawful, however in current english society it seems though unintended the unlawful can gain from the consequences of breaking a law, change is quite obviously required.

Jake: GPs told to cut antibiotics usage.

Doctors in England and Wales are being told not to hand out antibiotics for common coughs and colds to help save the NHS millions of pounds a year.

Eustache: Interestingly, this seems to hint at a lack of "grass roots" standardised training for GP's and a lack of patient awareness, the human body in general builds up a "tolerance resistence" to many kinds of drugs or chemicals, medicinal or poisonous, frequent intake of an antibiotic or painkiller makes it alittle less effective for that individual patient, overall a wise move that should have been unnecessary.

Jake: Heres one, Terror police detain disabled boy

A police officer has been transferred from duties at a Channel crossing after a disabled child and his parents were detained under the Terrorism Act.

Eustache:From the outside having just read the article myself, I think a -much- clearer understanding of the terrorism act is required,
"..the officer then told us, 'I believe you are child trafficking'," she said."
Terrorism is an act of intimidation, not illegal trafficking, on the one hand i am "reassured" that such vigilance is present at that location and being shown in the fight against Human Trafficking, however the use of the terrorism act in that instance is overzealous to say the least.

Jake: Im afraid while we had five planned today we have just run out of time, thankyou Eustache, and thankyou to our Readers, comments are appreciated as well as welcomed.
