7th January, editors,


cartoonists and journalists
of the French satirical
magazine Charlie Hebdo
were having a meeting in
their headquarters in the
11th arrondissement.
Suddenly two gunmen
with black clothes and
masks came in the
building and started
shooting.
8 journalists and two
policemen were killed,
included Bernard Maris,
prominent cartoonists
Wolinski and Cabu, Charlie
Hebdo editor Stephane
Charbonnier and
cartoonist Bernard
Verlhac. . After the attack,
those gunmen fled with a
black car.
The terrorists were
Kouachi brothers (Sherif

Kouachi, Said Kouachi),


who were fighting in the
name of Islam. Charlie
Hebdo was known for its
satirical cartoons
concerning politics,
religions etc. Recently, it
printed satirical cartoons
towards Muhammad
(prophet of the Islam

religion) and the police


suspected that this was the
reason that the terrorists
attacked Charlie Hebdo.
Witnesses said that they
heard the terrorists
shouting that they came
from Al-Qaeda.

Have you ever wondered what
happens to a retired aircraft?

If an aircraft is too old to fly and
doesnt work well, they just put it at
a field in the desert of Arizona or
California, where there are about
4000 aircrafts. When an aircraft is
finished and is about to retire,
the airline needs to put the retired

aircraft somewhere. The solution


is to create fields where there is
space to store the aircrafts. The
reason for this is that it is too
expensive to recycle the aircraft.

Since there is always going to be
an increasing demand for new
and younger aircrafts, the bone

yard is going to increase in


numbers. This is quite a problem
because you need to think about
all the different components on
the plane that are sat there to
rust. You need to think about all
worth of the metals from the
planes and how much it adds up
to. It is a waste of money and
materials to leave 4000 aircrafts
out there in a field.

Charlie Hebdo Continued


The Grapevine January 2015

The terrorists seemed well trained. A
video was taken by a witness of the
brothers shooting an already shot
policeman lying on the p avement.
The terrorist brothers fled to the North
region above Paris and were shot in a
warehouse.

After the terror, photos of the


suspects and of the shooting were
all over social media. Many p eople
from around the world showed
their support for Charlie Hebdo by
tweeting using the hashtag
#JesuisCharlie

Paris Protest
Latika Gurunathan
On Sunday the 11th of January, 4 days
after the Charlie Hebdo attack, people
from all over France and around the
world took part in a walk for the
memory of the people lost from the
attack.

At least 3.7 million people from all


around the word had come to join
not just the ordinary citizens of
France but also many world leaders,
who travelled all the way to France to
help it get over its days of grief.
These included French President
Francois Hollande, British Prime
Minister David Cameron, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel and
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano
Rajoy. The march started in the

streets of Paris at 3p.m.




There were many ways that
people had expressed themselves
during the march, people had
held the famous Je suis Charlie
sign, pictures and images of the
Charlie Hebdo paper and many
more signs. One man from the
crowed shouted, "dont give in to
fear." Terrorists will not win."

C h a r l i e H e b d o : t h e A f t e r m a t h
Sophie Kane
The small Parisian n ewspaper has
now attained a worldwide
audience.

journalists are asking people to


subscribe to their magazine in order
for them to survive.

What are they doing now?


Before the attack. Charlie Hebdo
would normally print 60,000
issues. However, they printed 5
million issues a week after their
magazine was attacked by violent
gunmen. After its first d ay of
release the magazine sold out in
France. Now copies are being
sent to the U.S to satisfy the
demand for the magazine there.
The issue has been referred to as
the survivors issues and on the
Charlie Hebdo website the


People waiting outside newspaper
stand for a copy of the Charlie
Hebdo issue.
So what is this magazine that people
around the world were dying to get
their hands on?

Page 2

Featured on the cover of the


magazine is a portrait of what
most b elieve to be the Prophet
Mohammed crying and holding a
sign that says Je suis Charlie.
Below that are the words All is
forgiven. What is the meaning of
this picture? Youll h ave to decide
for yourself.
After the world was u nited
through the unity march in Paris,
the new issue of Charlie Hebdo
stirred people around the world.
The magazine is called
provocative for its bold--and
often considered-- rude
statements about peoples
religions and cultures.

The Aftermath Continued


The Grapevine January 2015

Sophie Kane
Charlie Hebdo, yet again, printed
an image of the Prophet
Mohammed, which is a sin in
Islam. Now that that Charlie
Hebdo has a worldwide audience
the negative effect of this issue
was probably more serious than
Charlie Hebdo envisioned.

Many riots broke out in the


Islamic world. Palestinians
stomped on the French flag
shouting Allahu Akbar (God is
great in Arabic). Other
Palestinians were waving the
jihadists-- a word we now use
referring to Islamic terrorists--
flag.
In Niger, Islamic extremists killed
four people and lit seven
churches on fire. Many Christian

shops were also set on fire, as well as


the French cultural center. At least
43 people were injured in the fight
between the violent protestors and
the police. Thousands of Algerians
threw bottles and rocks at the police
while chanting We are Muhammad
to protest the new Charlie Hebdo
issue.

In Somalia, protesters held signs


declaring that they are Muslim and
love their prophet. In Yemen,
protesters gathered in front of the
French embassy. In Sudan, people
held signs reading Death to France
and Charlie Hebdo offends the
prophet. In the country of Jordan,
2,500 people also gathered around
the French embassy holding signs
that said, Insulting the Prophet is
global terrorism. They had to be

stopped by the riot police.


In Pakistan, many pro-Sharia
rallies took p lace to fight against
freedom of speech. In one rally, a
journalist was shot. In former
French colonies like Mali, Senegal,
and M auritania people were also
protesting. In Senegal a thousand
people marched through the
streets shouting Allahu Akbar
and stomping on the French flag.
The Mauritanian president stood
with protesters, declaring that the
Charlie Hebdo cartoon was an
attack on our religions and all
religions.
The main long-term issue with
these protesters is that they are
really susceptible to joining
terrorist organizations now that
they are so angry against Charlie
Hebdo-- in their eyes the new
symbol of France. So, what do you
think? Is there a limit to freedom
of speech? And how will we find a
solution to this now worldwide
problem?

Air Asia QZ 8501


Latika Gurunathan
On Sunday 28th December, the
Air Asia QZ 8501 plane crashed in
the Java Sea (between Borneo
and Java, Indonesia). Officials say
this was due to thunderstorms
that occurred at the time across
the Java Sea. This plane was
traveling from Surabaya,
Indonesia to Singapore and there
were 166 passengers on board
along with 7 crewmembers.
Two days after the crash, they
found a few bodies and returned
them to their families. Divers
found it very hard to look for

bodies and parts of the plane due


to the b ad weather, which affected
the color and the clarity of the
water. Even with the bad weather
and h orrible wind, the divers still
managed to find a wing of the
plane.
There have been many questions
about how the plane had fallen and
broke into different pieces. "That
itself is a clue, because I think that
pretty much indicates that the
plane broke apart when it hit the
water," said Mary Schiavo, a former

Page 3

inspector general of the U.S.


Department of Transportation. The
makers of this flight have told the
audience that this plane was
supposed to hold and be strong in
bad weather conditions such as
thunderstorms and heavy rains. The
plane has been found the bottom of
the Java Sea. Officials say it is as
deep as a 10-story building. Before
finding the plane, they had gotten
many pings from the black box, but
the location was not right.
After they had finally found

Recent ISIS Activity


Ryota A kai
Islamic State is a radical group that has
recently obtained large areas across
Syria and Iraq. It is known for its brutal
tactics. They have killed massively and
abused members of religious and
ethnic minorities. In addition, they
have also brutally b eheaded soldiers
and journalists.

The group aims to establish a
"caliphate", a state ruled by a single
political and religious leader according
to Islamic law, or Sharia. Although
currently limited to Iraq and Syria, IS
has promised to "break the borders" of
Jordan and Lebanon and to "free
Palestine". It attracts support from
Muslims across the world and
demands that all swear allegiance to
its leader - Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali
al-Badri al-Samarrai, better known as
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

IS can trace its roots back to the late
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian

who set up Tawhid wa al-Jihad in


2002. A year after the US-led invasion
of Iraq, Zarqawi pledged allegiance to
Osama Bin Laden and formed al-
Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which became a
major force in the insurgency.

After Zarqawi's death in 2006, AQI
created an umbrella organisation,
Islamic State in Iraq (ISI). ISI was
steadily weakened by the US troop
surge and the creation of Sahwa
(Awakening) councils by Sunni Arab
tribesmen who rejected its brutality.
After becoming ISIs leader in 2010,
Baghdadi rebuilt its capabilities. By
2013, ISI was once again carrying out
dozens of attacks a month in Iraq. It
had also joined the rebellion against
President Bashar al-Assad in Syria,
setting up the al-Nusra Front.

In April 2013, Baghdadi announced
the merger of his forces in Iraq and
Syria and the creation of the Islamic
State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). The

leaders of al-Nusra and al-Qaeda


rejected the move, but fighters
loyal to Baghdadi split from al-
Nusra and helped Isis remain in
Syria.

At the end of December 2013, Isis
shifted its focus back to Iraq and
exploited a political standoff
between the Shia-led
government and the minority
Sunni Arab community. Aided by
tribesmen, the group took
control of the central city of
Falluja.

In June 2014, Isis overran the
northern city of Mosul, and then
advanced southwards towards
Baghdad. At the end of the
month, after consolidating its
hold over dozens of cities and
towns, Isis declared the creation
of a caliphate and changed its
name to Islamic State.

Into the Woods

Disney Movies:

Featuring an amazing cast including


Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna
Kendrick, Chris Pine, and Johnny
Depp, this musical is going to be
one to remember. The story line
goes; a baker and his wife are
cursed by a witch (Meryl Streep). To
lift the curse they need to find four
magic items from different fairy
tales; a cow from Jack (and the
Beanstalk), a cape from Little Red
Riding Hood, hair from Rapunzel,
and a slipper from Cinderella. This
film is witty, surprising, and
refreshingly unique-- a film unlike
any other.

Anime: Past and Future


Yuriko Hono
Have you heard about Anime?
You probably have because it is very
popular in foreign countries and
very famous in traditional Japanese
culture. It looks like M ickey Mouse
and M inions of Americas animation
but the Japanese do not call it
animation. Instead they call it
Anime, an abbreviation of
animation and usually broadcast on
TV. Each episode is usually about 30
minutes long and it continues the
next week.
Here is the difference between
Americas animation and Japans
Anime.
US Animation
In the US, animation is usually made
for children. The representative
animation studio for this is
Disney, which has a lot of popular
animation. For example Snow

White and the Seven Dwarfs,


Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
Beauty and the Beast and so on.
These are generally considered the
best animations of the classic
princess stories.
What about Winnie the Pooh?

We feel very relaxed when we


watch it because Pooh is very mild
and this makes its watchers happy
Recently, Disney made one of the
most famous and successful
animations, Frozen.

Page 8

Its very popular as it lets us feel a


lot of emotions because its story
structure isnt very complicated and
the animation is very fascinating.
Therefore, it is easy to watch,
especially for children.
Japans anime.
Japan makes some anime for
children too, however, it is more
recently thought of to b e focused
towards nerds/geeks. There is a
very big difference between older
anime and modern anime.

It started in 1999 and is still

about pirates and h as a lot of
action and fighting. The story is
sometimes complicated but it has
a lot of charm. For example, each
character is very cute and their
story is very well done.

popular trend.

Anime
Old

This
type of Japanese anime
showed
someones p eaceful life.


These older series was more

realistic
and talked about

everyday life and some of the

worlds problems.

Still on TV
Former anime like Sazae-san is still
broadcast on TV so maybe modern
children still watch some former
anime. For example Doraemon,
which started in 1973 and it has 1345
stories and its story structure is very
similar to that of Sazae-san.


That classic, representative anime
of the time is Sazae-san.


Writers opinion


It started as a comic series and
came to television in 1969. It is
the record holder for longest
running animated television
series and has more than 3000
episodes.
The show is about the family of
Sazae. This picture looks very
calm and quiet but the story in
the show is usually very hasty.
The message of the show is that
we are very lucky to b e living in
peace. Sazaes family always h as
some problems but it is usually
about very small things. This
peaceful scene is why we want to
see their life over and over.
New Anime
However, the most recent,
popular anime is not really for
children. Animes story structure
became a lot more complicated
which makes it harder for
children to watch. Therefore,
anime is no longer for all ages.
However, it is now Japans most


Doraemon is the middle (blue)
character. He is a robotic cat sent
from the future by Sewashi to help
his grandfather Nobita Nobi. Every
episode Doraemon helps Nobita with
special tools and gadgets from the
future. These tools and Doraemons
adventures make the show very fun
to watch. The picture h as been
renewed which makes it a lot easier
to see.
Another anime called ONE PIECE is
also very popular. You can sometimes

Page 9

I personally dont like a lot of the


more recent, modern anime. A
lot of its fans go very crazy, its
boring and mostly because they
dont h ave the message that
older anime has.
However, I really like former
anime because it shows some of
Earths p roblems and it really
shows us what our life is. It is very
interesting to see, has really good
message and allows us some
peace of mind..
I think we should keep old anime
like Sazae-san and Doraemon. Its
something we can see with all the
family as it creates a place where
the whole family can get
together.
I think anyone would enjoy old
Japanese anime, there are a lot of
hilarious things and it was very
popular to all ages.
I think if modern children
watched these shows and read
these comics, they can know
about the old, funny anime!
