OTRIVINE needed immediately.
A passionate opposition MP in
South Korea went to extreme
measures to block votes for the
country’s controversial free trade
deal with America, by releasing
tear gas in Parliament.
According to reports, the
country’s leading Grand National
party was determined to push
through the deal, whilst the
Democratic opposition was
absolutely determined to stop it,
with members physically trying to
stop Grand National MPs entering
Parliament by using their bodies
to block them, whilst also
shouting them down.
These methods were not
warmly received, and scuffles
between MPs broke out before
the Democratic party’s Kim Dundong
let off his tear gas surprise.
Despite the thick gas, security
personel were able to locate
Dun-dong shortly after the gas
swept into the room, escorting
him from Parliament still shouting
against the FTA.
Following the outbreak
Parliament was cleared, giving
MPs time to clear their eyes and
wash their wounds, before
returning to vote less than an
hour later.
The bill passed 151 votes to
seven.
BLIND cinema.
China has launched the world’s
first cinema for the blind, in
Nantong city, Jiangsu Province.
The cinema is located in a
community centre, and is
furnished with comfortable
chairs, as well as a big screen for
showing all the latest
blockbusters, as well as much
loved classics.
What differentiates the cinema
from its counterparts is the
existence of a translator, who
describes all the action, colour
and scenes on screen for the
cinema’s patrons.
So far the cinema has been met
with praise from its users.
