If you mean France 24, Sky channel 513, I agree wholeheartedly. I think that the coverage of world events on both of these channels is also a lot more unbiased than the UK or American channels.
Won't it be in French
Try this Mick

Hello Everyone.
Sorry to hear the news about Philippines Typoon.Love to all the People in the Philippines.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Hi everyone, just heard the news about the floods...hope everyones relatives are safe evn though the belongings are gone! i know someone in Paranaque City in Manila but don't know if they're OK or not. No response from text message.
All positive thoughts going out to everyone

Yes I caught that too....guess he forgot where he was in all the chaos...lol
Ok this is off-topic but at this time, we are glad the government did something good and helped the people.Investment in roads and suitable housing has never been a priority with the filipino government, loads of money has been spent on shopping malls and high rise developments, which are way out of the league of the normal filipino salary... The government have not invested in any major development for the poor and needy..... The country is run by a few big families, who suck the life blood out of the filipinos....This is very sad to see the reports on the news, of people who have very little loosing everything..... While the rich living inthere high rises and large houses in protected villages will hardly notice the chaos for the majority of the filipinos. I had to just laugh, though , they showed a bulletin on sky news, with GMA, in a meeting , with her black shinny raincoat on, as if she is saying to people, i am there in the flooded streets with you.. her hair was immaculate .......
Why wait till now to complain that people have nothing. Just because of the storm? Before or after the storm, things will stay the same unless Filipinos build the government they want. It is a complex situation many money is owed to other governments though.
Marcos is alive and well and living in Taguig. Get your money back from her lavish apartments. Sell it all. Have a revolution.The church is too powerful there too. I often wonder how much influence they have on laws like lowest age to have sex is 12. What on earth is right with that?
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.
They drop some right howlers sometimes do the beeb.
didn't see this one but I've heard their reporters do this before, too often.

yep stuff is not important, but I really do feel for those who have lost everything, starting again from scratch is not easy anywhere.
And obviously it is tragic for those who have lost family :(
jim
most areas are very familiar to me especially in Rizal Province all the way to Marikina City, I stayed at my auntie's house at San Mateo Rizal for almost 8 years for my college and had my first job in Marikina City... while watching it..it's really terrible
Thank God, but it's really traumatic exprience for them and lots of adjustment in their surroundings
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
That BBC pundit, must have got his wires crossed United Nations climate talks are in Bangkok. The WWF are running a bad taste media campaign because of the floods. They say Philippine floods are wake-up call for negotiators in Bangkok. Majority of people are for fighting climate change, but to use human suffering to highlight their cause stinks.

Im originally from Quezon City and one of my relatives place is flooded upto adult's neck and all his computers (internet cafe business) are now all wet or destroyed, well never mind the computers, Im just hoping that they're all OK though.
I've also seen the video on Sky news and its really terrible. It's another sad day for all of us.

Hi Suze thanks for your thoughtsI hope your friend is OK

Ladyj this is my big fear for the nation, huge numbers of small local businesses will be wiped out, stock ruined, infrastructure destroyed few resources to start again :(
jim
I know and its very sad to think thatspecially to those families who have just tiny houses build from bits of pieces of wood and now just wiped out.

why mother of nature always strikes on poor countries just like Philippines?
Not an expert, I only try to help.
I guess it is not because it is a poor country, it is because of the georgraphical location. It is in the tropics hence the typhoons. Other countries has also experience natural disasters such as USA has hurricanes and tornadoes, Canada has ice storms, Australia has bush fires and Japan has earthquakes.
" The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
Yeah I know that...
can we just choose instead of what natural disaster can strike to Phils?

We get the extremes here too but the scope is much more limited.It is not because it is a poor country, it is because of the georgraphical location. It is in the tropics hence the typhoons. Other countries has also experience natural disasters such as USA has hurricanes and tornadoes, Canada has ice storms, Australia has bush fires and Japan has earthquakes.
This was an exceptional typhoon and sadly many of the poor nations are in the equatorial regions :(
jim
I think a lot of us feel the same pain, frustration and despair :(Yeah I know that...
can we just choose instead of what natural disaster can strike to Phils?
I really wish we had the choice, it just seems sometimes to be one thing after another :(
jim
Kansas, Florida, Texas, Australia, Oregon, Switzerland, Kobiwhy mother of nature always strikes on poor countries just like Philippines?

I've not tried this myself but if you use the Quote button to do a quoted reply then scroll down a bit there is a "Manage Attachments" button that should allow you to attach the pics Suze.
