It's now to be refered to the county court for a judgement this coming Friday. Read more >>

London, An evening of discussion and interchange

Today’s youth feel increasingly discriminated, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and suicide are all on the increase – yet today’s youth feel more idealistic than ever. They yearn for a world without violence, they see no reflection of their values in today’s society that places the value of money as the most important value.
