OFF: Maksym Kozub: That's interesting. Here in the UK we're obviously more reluctant than other countries to allow the media into courtrooms. The Court of Appeal experimented with fixed cameras a few years ago, but insisted on having control of them, and the footage was never released to the media. I've read a few articles here by senior judges, some of whom are very opposed to letting in cameras/microphones. One wrote: "If you allow them in, you could have people in the public gallery deliberately disrupting the proceedings, just in order to get onto the telly". An amusing story: I was once sat in the public gallery of a courtroom at Liverpool Crown Court and a young man sat near me stood up and took a photograph of the accused. The judge said: "You! Stop that immediately! Don't you know that's illegal?" The man said he did know, but that the accused was "a mate of mine". The judge said: "And you're an idiot. Usher, remove this man from the court and take him down to the cells, I'll deal with him later." I later read in the Liverpool Echo that the judge had given him 3 months and his camera had been confiscated -- whilst his friend (the accused) was found not guilty and released! |

| Ha, ha! |
| This is for you, Mr. John. |
| This, obviously, is about the way they pronounce things. Although I've come to like American pronunciation better over time, I still absolutely adore the way this great language is spoken by Patrick Stewart, an Englishman blessed with one of the most beautiful English speaking voices in history. |

Amor 71: Very good! This is how wars start. I hope the UN is better than this! I didn't understand all of the Russian, but then I didn't understand much of the English either (apart from the 'American')! The one on the left has almost perfected the Indian accent, and the one on the right sounds like Boris Johnson, except that he (the comedian) talks more sense! Tamerlane: Yes, Stewart is a very clear speaker. Laurence Olivier was also a very clear speaker. He narrated the 1970s TV documentary series 'The World at War', about World War II. Unfortunately, though, he nearly always mispronounced foreign (inc Russian) names. Another very clear speaker is South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Two days ago he delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the anti-apartheid and anti-corruption campaigner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X93c6HQTZCs |
