Warning: Violence, swearing, homophobia, and just nastiness.
Authors Note: For those of you not British....so pretty much all of you...this program is the BBC News At Ten and the journalist is Huw Edwards. YouTube him if you're at all interested, he just comes across as increadibly trust worthy :). I know that I should maybe have stuck to American programs but I wanted to get across the worldwide impact something like this could have. That and the fact that I can't work out your news shows at all!! There doesn't seem to be a country wide News show. Am I mistaken?
Summery: One event can change the life of everyone involved. It's an idea that everyone knows but it's not something anyone actually understands until it happens to them.

“Tonight at Ten. In what could prove to be a groundbreaking case American television stations have been ordered to pay a total of $5 million after a court rules in favour of Adam Lambert. American television stations are in shock after the courts found in favour of Adam Lambert and his law suit against all the major broadcast companies for emotional and mental anguish. Lambert claimed that the repeated broadcasting of a video of an attack on him 18 months ago meant that he, his family, and his friends have been forced to relive the experience over a sustained period of time causing emotional duress and mental instability.”
“The video has been broadcast without my consent over a substantial period of time. This repeated visual reminder of the worst night of my life has been a source of pain and suffering for myself and those I love and care for. It has made it impossible to move on from the original attack.”
“The NHS has come under fire once again as a new wave of patients are diagnosed with MRSA. Brighton General, the hospital at the centre of the outbreak, has been closed for the wards to be steam-cleaned.
A man in Doncaster has been found dead in his garden after one of the coldest night of the year. Police believe he fell asleep outside whilst drunk, they do not suspect foul play.
Good evening, an American court ruled today in favour of Adam Lambert in his case against the television stations that showed the footage of his attack 18 months ago. The stations have been ordered to pay Lambert a total of $5 million, an amount which will be split between them. Lambert has stated that he does not want the money, all of which will be donated to a selection of charities, but that he felt an example needed to be set. The internet company Google, owners of the video sharing site YouTube, were not fined as it was ruled that it would have been impossible to stop it from being uploaded and they removed it as soon as they became aware of it. Leila Lambert, the plaintiff’s mother, was at the court today as the decision was reached.
“We’re very happy with the result, there’s a feeling of vindication after the turmoil the video has put our family through. Just because a film isn’t professionally shot doesn’t mean that the people in it can’t suffer from emotional harm because of its broadcasting. If it were any other type of film Adam would have had to sign a contract before it would be allowed to be screened. Because of the format of this film he was not given that option. Its repeated broadcasting removed my son’s right to privacy. Anyone can put anything they like up on the internet, that’s always going to be hard to stop, but the broadcast stations should be held accountable for their actions.”
“The ruling could have major ramifications for broadcast companies who previously have been allowed to show footage from the internet without the permission of those in the film. The American broadcast industry will now be forced to review their policies on what they can and can’t show in their programming.
The NHS have once again come...”
