LSE and Korea trip
The Times, 19/04/2013, p.29, Unattributed
Sir, Your editorial ("Panorama Drama", Apr 16) states that the LSE "will certainly now have to think more deeply before sending students to North Korea". The key point being, of course, that LSE did not send the students. Far from it. The trip was very deliberately concealed from the LSE by those operating for the BBC. We are now faced with real difficulties as academics and students with genuine research interest in the region fear to travel. As Lord Stern made clear (Thunderer, Apr 17), this is a direct threat to academic freedom and inquiry that the BBC failed to consider. Sir Peter Sutherland Chairman of Court and Council, LSE

N Korea trip students criticise LSE
BBC (Web), 18/04/2013, Unattributed
Six of the London School of Economics students who visited North Korea with an undercover BBC crew have criticised the school for publicising the story. The LSE had demanded the BBC withdraw Monday's Panorama because students had been used "as cover" for the trip. In a letter to the LSE, students said they were "put in more risk" as a result of its decision to "go public". The LSE denied going public, but said it knew it would be publicly identified once the BBC show was aired.

LSE: BBC put us in 'impossible situation' over North Korea students
guardian.co.uk (Web), 18/04/2013, Josh Halliday
The fallout from the BBC's undercover Panorama film on North Korea spilled into a sixth day on Thursday, as the London School of Economics defended itself from criticism levelled by its own students. Robin Hoggard, the LSE's head of external relations, rejected complaints from six of the 10 students on the Pyongyang trip that it had exposed them to greater risk by "going public" with its misgivings about John Sweeney's Panorama film.

Carbon bubble 'creates global economic risk'
The Guardian, 19/04/2013, p.1, Damian Carrington
"The financial crisis has shown what happens when risks accumulate unnoticed," said Lord (Nicholas) Stern, a professor at the London School of Economics. He said the risk was "very big indeed" and that almost all investors and regulators were failing to address it. The so-called "carbon bubble" is the result of an over-valuation of oil, coal and gas reserves held by fossil fuel companies.

Postgrads drafted in to help secondary school pupils read properly
Evening Standard, 18/04/2013, p.26, Unattributed
POSTGRADUATE student Claire Rivero, 26, spends eight hours a week helping secondary school pupils to read. The social policy and planning student at the London School of Economics, pictured, was trained by the Real Action charity to teach the phonics method of reading, in which children "de-code" words by examining every letter and blending the sounds together.

Burmese 'Bin Laden' uses racism and rumour to light spark of ethnic conflict
The Guardian, 19/04/2013, p.25, Kate Hodal
Analysts warn that Wirathu's seeming freedom to preach as he pleases – in addition to his influence over other monks, who have also started preaching against Islam – should be taken as a wake-up call to the rest of the world. "If a similar hate movement like Burma's '969' movement – which spreads hate speech and hate symbols – [existed] specifically against, say, the Jews in Europe, no European government would tolerate it," Burmese activist and London School of Economics visiting fellow Maung Zarni said. "Why should the EU not take it seriously, in a major EU-aid recipient country?"

EDF ready to let talks on UK nuclear station fail

As a result, these fossil fuels will be unburnable and therefore worthless — causing huge market losses. The research has been conducted by Lord Stern, a professor at the London School of Economics, and Carbon Tracker, the think tank, which is supported by HSBC, Standard & Poor's and the International Energy Agency, among others.

Crime rates: Down these not-so-mean streets
The Economist , 20/04/2013, p.25, Unattributed
Things may change as the slump continues. Britain has not yet felt the full pain of cuts to welfare or government departments. People may grow more desperate. The police have made savings in areas such as human resources. In future the front line may suffer. The anger that fuelled riots in England in 2011 has not gone away, says Tim Newburn, a criminologist at the London School of Economics. But with so many reinforcing factors, the virtuous circle will be hard to break.

Research in brief ? 18 April 2013
guardian.co.uk (Web), 18/04/2013, Claire Shaw
Racism is still a lurking presence in UK prison finds a researcher from the London School of Economics, while examining how prisoners from different ethnic and religious backgrounds interact. Coretta Phillips' report found: 'White prisoners often reverted to narratives of white superiority to undermine and denigrate black prisoners … with vehement resentment about the perceived overplaying of the "race card" by black prisoners. Muslim prisoners were held in particular disdain but also envied for their collective presence and solidarity.'"

Norway's EU deal 'not right for UK'
BBC (Web), 18/04/2013, Unattributed
Norway has prospered in the European Economic Area (EEA), established in January 1994, but "the EEA is not a good example for the UK", said Ms Solberg. Her Conservative Party is currently ahead in Norwegian opinion polls and many expect her to win the general election scheduled for September. In a speech at the London School of Economics (LSE) this week, she said the EEA deal was not a big debating topic for Norwegians, despite the fact that "Norway has no voting rights in the EU - it is not at the negotiating table". "It's a small country, with a very open economy. The British wouldn't accept that [deal]," she said.

Firms 'own unburnable fossil fuels'
BBC (Web), 19/04/2013, Unattributed
Some 60% to 80% of fossil fuel reserves owned by listed firms could be classed unburnable if politicians stick to CO2 emission limits, a report warns. The research by the London School of Economics and NGO Carbon Tracker says firms spend billions of pounds of shareholders' money on exploration.
