THE NORTH POLE is generally associated with driving snow, wind and ice. Lots and lots of ice. So much ice that if (when?) it melts, cities like Miami will cease to exist.
However, at this time of year, when the Pole’s most famous inhabitant is on his summer holidays with Mrs Claus, the temperatures rise slightly and July saw a higher than average temperature in the Arctic Ocean.
Although the average temperature was only between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius warmer, the young, thin ice which now accounts for half of the Arctic’s sea ice is more prone to meltwater ponds like this one. July is the melting month in the Arctic as warmer seas fracture the ice.
Last year, the region had a record low melt. In May, an international team of researchers said that an ice-free Arctic could be a reality sometime in the near future.

Is it just me or is the headline a tad ambiguous? I read the headline to mean reasons as to why victims should drop cases rather than reasons as to why the DPP wasn’t proceeding with a prosecution.
Exactly !
The DPP has had her budget cut, while her office has had to deal with more files. Telling complainants (or the emotional loaded term victims) that their evidence wouldn’t be accepted as credible, or that the prosecution would not be in the public interest, is fairly low on the priority list.
Divert some of the funding devoted to defending the criminal ..such as repeated free legal aid and problem solved. Easy !
Now your talking Michael. My 9yr old went through he’ll & back, case wasn’t passed. No reason & no victims support for him. Maybe get rid of flat screen tv’s & state of d art gyms from prisons & put money into DPP or funding for victims support.
That’s crap, they write to tell you case wasn’t passed so surly a couple of more sentences with the reasons as to why would not be costly
have your say
