For people living in Australia the sun is a daily threat to health; causing skin cancer which kills thousands every year. However scientists in Australia say they are close to producing a pill that would protect us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. A sunscreen pill could be available within five years. This is good news for sun-lovers as they would only need to take a pill once a week, instead of having to put on sunscreen on every few hours. A sunbather on Sydney’s Bondi Beach welcomed this news, saying: “Bring it on. No more sunscreen. No more sunburn. Now we can stay out in the sun all day long.” As with all great inventions however there are always negative effects. Some scientists have warned that the pill could be harmful as too much sun protection can lead to vitamin D deficiency, resulting in weak bones. (by Prof. Simon Smith)

In July 2011 the London Riots showed how young people have become frustrated with lack of job opportunities. But does rioting help their cause? Well, a gang of pensioners in London were shown on video getting drunk, spraying graffiti and vandalising cars after drinking. They were also shown throwing eggs at houses. It was a spoof video by police in the UK to show how pointless and silly anti-social behaviour really is. One of the actors in the video said; “Hopefully people will look at it and see how silly rioting and bad behaviour really is.” The video can be seen on You Tube and shows how humour can teach us many things about ourselves.
