Donald Trump 2016

By Dani Carroll

the betting odds of 150/1, Trump was able to win the Republican nomination beating established political figures such as Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. When Trump did this he became the first ever presidential nominee to run for president without having held a government or military position. From the get go there was criticism of Trump with many describing his comments as racist, xenophobic and islamophobic. Despite this, and the release of a tape where Trump made derogatory comments about women, he was able to win the electoral college vote by targeting the swing marginals making him the 45th president of the United States of America.

On June the 5th 2015 Donald Trump first announced that he was running for president at Trump Towers. No one would have imagined he would be president by the end of the next year. Despite starting off with

2016 was a year of horrific terror attacks across different parts of the world, but one that shocked the world the most was the Orlando shooting.

An outrageous mass shooting that occurred in a gay night club left many victim survivors traumatised and heart broken. On Sunday 12th June 2016, a gun man opened fire at The Pulse night club, one of the biggest gay night Clubs in Orlando Florida.

The gun man, was an American, born in 1986 in New York, who went by the name of Omar Mir Seddique Mateen. Forty nine people were shot dead and more than fifty three were in-jured during that night. The vicious act unfolded at 02:00am (6:00GMT), and the shooting lasted for three hours.

More than 300 people were inside the Pulse, which was holding a Latin themed event that was coming to an end when Omar Mir Seddique Mateen entered the club and opened fire on individuals. Many clubbers escaped, some jumping over a 6 foot fence to flee the horrific scene.

Eye witness Jackie Smith said “He had an automatic rifle, so nobody stood a chance”.

Chris Hansen, another eye witness added “I wasn’t sure if it was the mu-sic, it went with the beat almost until there was too many shots”

According to survivor, Patience Carter, a 20 year old African American women who was held hostage inside the club during the three hour standoff, the Gunman carried out this act be-cause he wanted “American’s to stop bombing his country” and he pledged his allegiance to ISIS.

Britain votes to brexit from Europe

WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR?A review of the news and entertainment of 2016

On the 23rd of June 2016 30 million people all over Britain were making a choice that would either make or break their future, whether to stay in the EU or to leave. 52% of people voted to leave and won; and that same day David Cameron resigned as prime minister. It is not offi-cial that Britain has left the EU yet until the Government invokes article 50 of the treaty of the European Union. Once they do the UK will officially no longer be a part of the EU in March 2019. Since the vote to leave the EU the

value of the pound lowered meaning imports are more expensive causing inflation that will rise 2 percent a year. Several property funds were suspended causing panic within the property mar-ket uncertain whether prices would crash, though this would be good for first time buyers.

Holidays in Europe now cost more and millions of workers are unsure as to their status in the coming years.

2016 has been a very influential and major year for the Black Lives Mat-ter movement, in the UK and across the pond.

The movement began in 2013 with the social media hashtag ‘BlackLives-Matter’ or ‘BLM’ paying tribute to 17 year old Trayvon Martin who was shot dead by a male of mixed and peruvian descent. Many icons in the creative industries, such as musicians, radio presenters, documentary makers and models, have spoken out over social media.

The day after Martin was shot in Florida there was a huge protest march. The shooting started a debate on the Stand Your Ground Law in Florida. This law enables Americans to ‘shoot first’ if they feel a threat as part of their self-defence. The law, popular among those suporting US gun culture, was meant to allow people to defend themselves but has enabled people to kill justifiably.

Social Media has been the platform where victims and protesters have raised concerns over police shootings of black Americans. There has been a huge surge and movement in the media which has enabled the network and support for BLM to grow and continue.

Research shows black on black attacks have become more frequent in the US in recent years with 93% of black homicides being commited by other black citizens; Chicago having the highest number of black on black murders.

Towards the end of year the Iraqi government as well as the Kurdish Peshmerga came together to retake Mosul.

The ancient city of Mosul is Iraq’s second largest city and the capital of ISIL’s self-proclaimed state.

Both the Iraqi army as well as the Kurdish Peshmerga put their differ-ences aside to retake Mosul. A Pesh-merga soldier reported to the Guard-ian it would take “within 15-20 days” to retake Mosul if ISIL keeps pushing back.

During 2016 various sexual abuse cases came to light mainly in the world of entetinment and sparked the interest of the news outlets. The most recent cases that have been highlighted were within the world of football. More than 20 for-mer footballers have admitted to being the victimes of historical sex abuse in football. So far five police forces are investigating allegations by these individuals. One of the biggest sexual abuse stories concerned the former foot-baller Andy Woodward, age 43, an ex-defender at Crewe Alexandra, who was finally able to speak out about the sexual horrors that he faced in the past whilst being a footballer, “the massive, horrible burden” that shaped his life.

Woodward was abused from the age of 11 when the football lover was first spotted by coach, scout and se-rial paedophile Barry Bennell and it is difficult to contemplate how much Woodward has suffered.

the name they give themselves, spark-ing a huge debate over whether they should be called ‘All Lives Matter’.

There is a lack of formal structure as a movement. BLM began and took to the streets after Mike Brown’s death resulting in a march in Ferguson which turned to unrest. This prevented police from doing their job and increased some white on black attacks. BLM’s lack of structure fails to establish a clear intention to help those under threat of attacks or in need of justice.

However BLM is an organisation paying tribute and providing support and President Obama condoned thir work stating they ‘pull a focus’ on the specific issue of police shootings of black citizens.

The effect of the shootings has cre-ated a space for many platforms, films and documentaries to happen it has become a topic that is widely spoken about - with Black Lives Matter being a great advocate for this.

INSTAGRAM the mobile applica-tion is taking the world by a storm with over 500 million monthly users.

Instagram is proven to be one of the most loved mobile applications, so what makes it unique? It is a strictly photo and video sharing application where users can express themselves with art, photography, cooking and pretty much anything else out there.

What makes Instagram special and successful is the ability to connect with brands and make money. This is some-thing that many people often overlook. Here are some of the key steps when trying to make money on Instagram.

People make a living through pro-motion and collaboration with brands; for example a photographer takes pho-tos for Mercedes and gets paid whilst sharing it on their page. The impor-tance is to promote the product to your audience. These types of collaborations often only work for users with massive followings over 50,000.

Brands could target celebrities as they have the largest followings and followers are more likely to listen to

the stars rather than ordinary people. But it isn’t that simple. It is obviously a lot cheaper for brands to pay someone with less than perhaps 100,000 follow-ers and promote their products/servic-es. Non-celebrities are more likely to listen and get persuaded as they could be loyal brand followers who see the account growing from 100 followers to 50,000 which makes the relationship even stronger. Building audience is a crucial element as promoting products

that your audience will benefit from and find interest in is key.

Engagement - is also another important element. Interacting with your followers by replying on their comments will only build some sort of a closer loyal relationship and trust between you. Marketers care about relationship between content creators and followers as at the end of the day marketers are trying to sell their prod-uct to the instagrammer’s audience.

AFTER 6 years of the Syrian conflict, and the world watching as numerous factions fight for a land engulfed by war, Syria has been left in ruins.

At the heart of it all Aleppo, once a great historic city and the economic hub for Syria, has been a battle ground since the Arab spring protests in 2011.

The fighting mainly happened during 2012 and a year later the rebels were able to surround the pro-govern-ment areas when fighting in Aleppo. The rebels were able to push the regime into western Aleppo creating a mini siege from the northern country-side as well as the Eastern Aleppo part of the city.

The rebel held parts of the city were reported being mainly dominated by “Islamist” fighters. Which appar-ently is the reason why rebel held areas had short skirmishes which caused problems.

On the other hand Assad’s regime looked as if they were going to lose Aleppo. Assad’s forces were being accused of many crimes as well as breaching many planned ceasefires.

Russia and Turkey agreed upon a deal that civilians and fighters would be evacuated to Idlib. However this deal was short lived and civilians were told to go back and indiscriminate

bombings began to kill more people.Another deal was made that civil-

ians and fighters would be evacuated to Idlib the last rebel stronghold. The deal was also made that Shia residents move to Fu’aa a known Assad strong-hold near Idlib.

Assad’s forces took over Aleppo city and hailed the biggest victory which could end the war.
