Three budding broadcast journalists from the University of East Anglia have won a national BBC award for their innovative documentary about homelessness.
Will Hanford, 20, Guy Wilson, 21 (pictured above left and right) and Nate Dove, 23, created a documentary about living on the streets of Norwich, which is designed to be viewed over five screens running simultaneously. The fruits of their labour, 16:01 Homelessness and Rough Sleeping in Norwich, impressed judges at the BBC and they beat off stiff competition to win a Postgraduate Student Journalism Innovation Award. Guy said: “It's absolutely fantastic to win. The standard of entries was really high, so we were very surprised! "The challenge was to create a short film to be shown free to the public in the Forum, Norwich, on its Fusion screen - the largest digital screen in Europe.
“The only requirement was that it had to be related to Norwich or Norfolk. “We really wanted to use this opportunity to tackle a strong issue. Water wars between countries could be just around the corner, Davey warns. Water wars could be a real prospect in coming years as states struggle with the effects of climate change, growing demand for water and declining resources, the secretary of state for energy and climate change warned on Thursday.
Ed Davey told a conference of high-ranking politicians and diplomats from around the world that although water had not been a direct cause of wars in the past, growing pressure on the resource if climate change is allowed to take hold, together with the pressure on food and other resources, could lead to new sources of conflict and the worsening of existing conflicts. "Countries have not tended to go to war over water, but I have a fear for the world that climate instability drives political instability," he said. "The pressure of that makes conflict more likely. " But Davey recalled previous global catastrophes that had been averted, including the threat of nuclear armageddon during the cold war, and successes such as the elimination of smallpox.

Interview with Teguh Surya, WALHI: "We are against REDD. We are against carbon trading." Interview with Teguh Surya, campaigns director at WALHI (Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia – Friends of the Earth Indonesia), at WALHI’s office, Jakarta, February 2012.
WALHI is the biggest environmental movement in Indonesia. In Indonesia we work on policy advocacy and work to strengthen community rights, in particular natural resources issues. Because we are a grassroots movement, we work closely with communities, and we educate them about their rights and we help them to get their rights. We work together with communities who have problems with or who are in conflict with oil palm plantations or mining concessions. We work together with them and discuss and design the strategy to achieve the target and how to get back their land. WALHI in Jakarta, this office, is the national secretariat, and then we have 27 regional offices with 483 NGO member organisations and 150 individual members. WALHI’s work on REDD issues started in 2005 and continues today. We are against REDD. Yes. Interventionism and the Politics of Promoting Democracy and Human Rights.
