О When fifteen-year-old Mario Silva refused lo cut his hair because he wanted to look like his favourite film star, his father pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot him. 'My husband had been telling Mario to get his hair cut for the last two years and they had an argument,' said his wife. Fernando Silva was arrested and will appear in court next week. Meanwhile Mario has decided to sue him and to ask to be formally separated from his parents. 'I don't feel safe in the house anymore,' he told our reporter.

A Jamaican woman sued her parents after falling down the stairs of their home during a visit. Beatrice, who was in her early twenties, said that her parents had been negligent because they "failed to look after the carpet on the stairs.' As a result of the fall she suffered serious and permanent injuries when she tripped over the carpet in August 2002. She was awarded $1,000 in damages at a court in Kingston.
О In 1996, seventeen-year-old Olympic gold medallist Dominique Moceneau left home and asked to become a legal adult and to be in control of her own money. She said that her father. Dumitru Moceneau. had taken all her winnings and left her with no money and that her parents had robbed her of her childhood by pushing her so hard to become a gymnast. After hearing her complaints a Texan court granted her independence from her parents.

Tina Stowe, a well-known TV star in Canada, says that her mother, Lisa, kept five jars of cookies in the house in places where a child could easily find them and used to make the situation worse by telling her she was prettier than the other girls in her school. Stowe has said that her mother should have married a more suitable partner, preferably someone of a slimmer build. Stowe will appear in court next month.

Listen and read
В The romance in this film is tragic because it is so intense and lasts for such a short time. And because it is only a small part of a terrible and huge drama. A voyage on a ship going to New York brings together Rose, a high-class seventeen-year-old girl, and a thirdclass passenger. Everyone who has seen this movie remembers Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio together at the bow of the ship, the wind blowing in their hair and their hearts full of hope ('Jack, I'm flying.1'). She thinks her biggest problem is to decide whether to marry her rich fiance or to leave him for her new love. We know that in the next three hours they will both face terrible danger and that he will have to die so that she can live.
The greatest romantic films of all time? Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy gets girl. The recipe for a romance? Maybe not, if we look at the three t o p romantic films of all time, according to a recent vote by filmgoers. It seems that the films we remember best are those ones where love doesn't always have a happy ending.

One of the most beloved of American films, this is a classic story of a love triangle between two men and one woman. It is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) who runs a nightclub in a town in Morocco during World War II. Rick's cafe has become a place where people can get illegal papers to help them to escape from Europe to America. One day, to Rick's horror, llsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks through the door of his cafe ('Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine'). Rick and llsa were lovers in Paris before the war but he thinks that she left him. Their romantic feelings soon return but Rick and llsa must face a painful choice, should llsa go to America with her husband, Victor (an important war hero who needs her support) or should she stay with Rick, the love of her life? In the end Bogart makes the decision for her and does the hardest thing for any man in love. He lets her go. In one of the most famous goodbye scenes ever recorded on film, he wipes away her tears and says: 'Here's looking at you kid.'
The music is unforgettable, the photography is extraordinary and the romance is moving. Against the background of the Russian Revolution, this is the story of a doctor who is in love with two women, one of them his wife and the other his lover (Lara). Omar Sharif and Julie Christie play the lovers who are separated and then brought back together again by war and destiny. Everyone suffers in this powerful but tiny human story and also in the bigger story of the events of the Revolution. The film is about the choices people have to make between love and duty to their family and to their country. Eventually Lara and the doctor decide to part but the ending is not completely sad. Many years later we see that their daughter has survived and the future for her looks more hopeful.
