  • BBC Panorama / Sunday Times Investigation
    20 November 2019 BBC Panorama / Sunday Times investigation We write to you following the BBC Panorama and Sunday Times joint investigation which found evidence the Ministry of Defence and some elements within the Armed Forces have repeatedly covered up evidence of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The allegations of an apparent cover up are profoundly disturbing and a stain on the reputation of the United Kingdom as a global human rights leader. Adherence by the UK to international humanitarian law and accountability for breaches of it are important for the safety of UK forces in conflict. The abuse reported includes serious allegations about British soldiers’ involvement in the murder of children and torture and killing of civilians. The report found investigations into allegations of misconduct in Afghanistan (Operation Northmoor) and Iraq (Iraq Historic Allegations Team, IHAT) had established credible evidence of serious abuse. The report suggests this was covered up. In some cases, the report found senior officers misrepresented witnesses’ accounts and failed to involve the service police; in others the service police conducted what were described as wholly inadequate investigations. Significantly, the joint investigation also concludes that there was a systematic failure to investigate who gave the orders, and who might bear command responsibility, finding that IHAT detectives were blocked by the MoD from investigating the culpability of the chain of command. Despite this evidence, these investigations were almost completely closed down by the then UK government in 2017. The government sought to justify the closure of IHAT because many of its investigations were based on cases brought by Phil Shiner, one of the solicitors who led the Iraq claims, and was struck off for misconduct.

  • May Your Drug Price Be Evergreen

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Presenting the first comprehensive study of evergreening, this article ex- amines the extent to which evergreening behavior—which can be defined as artificially extending the protection cliff—may contribute to theprob- lem. The author analyses all drugs on the market between 2005 and 2015, combing through 60,000 data points to examine every instance in which a company added a new patent or exclusivity. The results show a startling departure from the classic conceptualization of intellectual property pro- tection for pharmaceuticals. Rather than creating new medicines, pharma- ceutical companies are largely recycling and repurposing old ones. Specifi- cally, 78% of the drugs associated with new patents were not new drugs, but ∗ Robin Feldman is the Arthur J. Goldberg Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Institute for Innovation Law at the University of California Hastings. Her most recent books in the life sciences are Drug Wars (Cambridge) and Rethinking Patent Law (Harvard). Professor Feldman also has published more than 50 articles in law journals including at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, as well as in the American Economic Review and the New England Journal of Medicine. Professor Feldman’s empirical work has been cited by the White House and numerous federal agencies.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.

Introduction Microtransactions are generally defined as any additional payment made in a video game after the customer makes an original purchase.2 Over time, microtransactions have increased in prominence and are featured today in many free-to-play mobile games.3 However, some video game developers, to the outrage of consumers, have decided to include microtransactions in PC and console games, which already require an upfront $60 retail payment.4 Consumer advocacy groups have increasingly criticized Microtransactions as unfair to 1 J.D.
