TV has been around for about 8o years but they weren't generally for the public to own in their homes. It was originally advertised in 1936 as 'illustrated radio' and was run by people working within the radio industry. During the war, wireless radios were the way that the majority of people in the UK received news and entertainment. All television broadcasts were stopped on September 1st 1939 with the delectation of the war and didn't resume until June 1946. The government chose to do this because it was thought that the transmitter would draw attention to homes during the Blitz. In the early days of television becoming popular amongst the public, the BBC dominated the market. They had built up a reputation of being a trusted news source. On 2nd June 1953, the BBC broadcasted the Queen's Coronation worldwide. More than 20 million people watched throughout the UK, which was the first time in history that a radio audience was outnumbered. Little did anyone at the tim

How do I move on? How can I go on? These are questions everyone may ask themselves when something in their life drastically changes. Whether its a breakup, moving to a different place or the end of someone's life, they can be a tricky thing to deal with. Some people may never move on from losing someone and others choose not to talk about it all. For many of the friends that I had years ago, they choose not to talk about the people we lost. I'll never really know why they decide not to talk about the experiences we had with them but it's their choice and just something that I have had to learn to respect. People deal with grief in so many different ways that it's not fair to say that there's a right or a wrong way to cope with loss, especially when they're not receiving help. In my own experience, moving on has been incredibly hard. Having to admit to myself that those who were in my life before don't get to continue theirs hurts more than anything else that

Hello, I’m Sapphire Anastasia and these are the highlights of this Wednesday. With the US election, coronavirus infections rising and the government passing new legislation, it's an interesting time to be alive.  Coronavirus Death Rate Skyrockets  The UK now has over 50,000 coronavirus related deaths recorded making us the country with the highest death toll in Europe and the 5th highest in the world. Since the pandemic began, there have been over 1.2 million confirmed cases within the UK and it has been recorded that disadvantaged areas and ethnic minorities have been impacted more. Lest We Forget the Unknown Warrior Today is 101 years since the first remembrance day, where each person in the UK is silent for two minutes for those who died in the war. There was service held at Westminster Abbey that marked 100 years since the burial of the Unknown Warrior, who represents the unidentified soldiers that were killed.

Johnny Depp has lost his libel court case against the Sun over an article they wrote describing the actor as a 'wife-beater'. He lost.  Judge Mr Justice Nicol threw Johnny Depp's case out of the court, ruling that the Sun's description of Depp as a 'wife beater' is 'sustainably true'. The case was heard over the course of 16 days in July at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the judge claimed that Depp had put his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in 'fear for her life' on three separate occasions.  The Sun have stood by their claims that Johnny Depp is a 'wife-beater'. After the trial was over, a spokesperson for the Sun said: 'Domestic abuse victims must never be silenced and we thank the judge for his careful consideration and thank Amber Heard for her courage in giving evidence to the court.' This trial has now cast doubt on Depp's claims against his ex-wife in the ongoing court case in the US.

Recently I moved to Leeds to study Journalism at degree level. When in cities, you tend to meet a diverse range of people so I have brought my camera out and have taken some photos of wonderful friends that I've made.  Aaron Aaron is an illustration student at Leeds Beckett and a VERY talented artist. He describes his everyday style as 'anywhere from Jojo Siwa on crack to emo as fuck' but loves making things like the mask he's wearing in the following photos. To see Aaron's art and find out more about him, you can find him on instagram @aaronbro.ke Isaac Isaac is a pop music student at Leeds Conservatoire and specialises in piano. In these set of photos we explored the more feminine side of himself. I'm sure there are many more photos to be taken this side of Issac in the future. To see his uni adventures, you can find him on instagram @isaac_middleton_ Felix and Aaron Dressing up and looking pretty was the inspiration for this. As usual, Aaron looked incredibly
