“We find no evidence other than he was on that bridge and he has leaned over, as children do, and lost his balance.” After the inquest Ian Dunn, still struggling to come to terms with Robin’s death, said that perhaps “Robin was looking for an experience and pushed it too far”.Robin’s death has traumatised those who witnessed it and stunned family, teachers and friends Robin was, by all accounts, both popular and intelligent. Headmaster Tom Clark, who rushed to Robin at the side of the A52, and had the unenviable task of breaking the news to Ian Dunn and his wife Susan that Robin had died, says that what happened was “beyond my comprehension”. Clark described Robin as “lively, popular and well above average intelligence.. a very straightforward kid who seemed mature”. He added: “As human beings, we try to make sense of it but we can’t.”There is no evidence that Robin, an avid science fiction fan who had just started trumpet lessons, was bullied at school or was in any way under pressure.After Robin died, Ian and Susan Dunn trawled through his belonging for clues. Ian Dunn said he was sure his son understood the concept of no more tomorrows Death was not a mystery to him, he said. He had already experienced his grandfather’s death and the death of pets.
When Dr Dunn’s patients passed on, it was openly discussed at home with Robin and his brother Andrew, 15, and sister Katie, 14.Ian and Susan racked their brains for missed signs of distress. “But there was nothing different about him when he went to school”, says Ian Robin seemed to be making plans for the future. On the morning of his death, he had even being discussing the colour he wanted his room painted. And he had had a busy week, “guffawing over Men in Black” on television, visiting the theatre and going swimming.
“We’ve looked at photographs and in most of them Robin is giggling,” said Dr Dunn miserably. Robin had no history of mental or physical illness.While his death is recorded as an accident, its circumstances focus attention on whether it is possible for a child to spontaneously and impulsively, without displaying warning signs, take his own life. While the incidence of suicide amongst the most susceptible group – young men aged between 18 and 24 – has rocketed over the last few decades, and the incidence of suicide among adolescents has also risen, suicide among young children is still very rare. But even among under 14s, the number of suicide bids appears to be rising.
According to Professor Keith Hawton of the Centre for Suicide Research in Oxford, girls largely account for the rise in non-fatal overdoses and non-fatal self injuries, out-numbering boys by at least six to one. In most cases, he believes, the children are sending a simple message, “I feel so bad I could die”.He says the average 12-year-old understands that suicide means the end. “People used to think the concept of death developed around puberty”, he says “Now we think it develops at eight, seven or even six”. But he agrees that the concept of personal mortality might not be as rounded at 12 as it is by adulthood.Robin’s parents and teachers saw no signs of depression in little boy.
But then, is depression really always a pre-requisite for suicide? Professor Hawton’s own painstaking screening of young people who have attempted suicide shows that, in most cases, there is an underlying depressive disorder. “I have looked at kids who have taken overdoses who thought about it for less than an hour before they did it”, says Hawton. “But it usually turns out that it has crossed their minds before – they are bombarded with it on TV”. Research shows that, when an episode of Casualty (the BBC hospital drama) has featured an overdose, an increase in suicide attempts has followed.But he concedes that causes are not always found “Some suicides do appear to have been impulsive”, he says.
Mr Blair is unlikely to declare Cabinet’s hand when a White Paper on “stage two” will be published in the new year to avoid the charge of pre-empting the Royal Commission, which will be set up shortly. It should produce proposals within a year.Another by-product is that the second stage could happen much quicker than expected. Another third could be elected from among members of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies to be set up next year, with the rest appointed from the ranks of the present 500 life peers.But cabinet sources insist no blueprint has been drawn up. He is convinced Mr Blair is vulnerable to the charge of wanting a second chamber full of “Tony’s cronies”. A cabinet committee chaired by Lord Irvine of Lairg, the Lord Chancellor, has discussed plans for a house in which only a third of the members were directly elected by the voters. “It seems Hague is going to make the same mistakes all over again,” said one prominent Tory “lifer”.
“He hasn’t consulted us at all, and we are getting very twitchy.”Mr Hague is unrepentant. Such a move would be opposed by many MPs, since a Lords with more democratic legitimacy would demand greater powers to amend legislation.Senior Tories are worried that Mr Hague is about to provoke a second toffs’ revolt as many Tory life peers would oppose an elected chamber, since they would be out of a job. Although Mr Hague’s aides insist the public admired the “strong leadership” he showed, many Tory MPs and peers believe the fiasco raised new doubts about whether he is the right man to lead the party into the next general election.Mr Hague’s embarrassment may be compounded in the new year, when the Cranborne plan will almost certainly be added to Labour’s Bill to scrap the hereditaries’ right to sit and vote in the Upper House.The Tory leader may seek to regain the initiative by outflanking Mr Blair over long-term reform and is believed to be warming to the idea of a fully elected second chamber. At the heart of the matter was Mr Hague’s desire for his troops to show “zero tolerance” of government legislation, and Lord Cranborne’s wish to call off trench warfare in return for saving some of the hereditaries. “Hague wanted us to die in the ditch, but most of us just wanted to lie down and pass away peacefully,” recalled one Tory hereditary. Viscount Cranborne, the hereditary peer and Tory leader in the Lords, was sensationally sacked by William Hague for secretly carrying on negotiations with Mr Blair about reprieving 91 of the 750 hereditaries until the Government implemented “stage two” of its Lords reforms.The row provoked an unprecedented split between the Tory Party leadership in the Commons and the party’s 470 peers, most of whom backed Lord Cranborne.
The Bill will go through in the new year but the rebellion played into Mr Blair’s hands by bolstering his case for removing the hereditaries.The second event was even more dramatic. Unfortunately, the joke was on the Tories for most of 1998 as Labour’s plans to demolish the rights of hereditary peers had a smoother passage than expected.
Cabinet ministers are convinced that the Tory-dominated hereditaries signed their own death warrants, helping Mr Blair to end 900 years of what he called “feudal domination”.Firstly, the Lords threw out on five occasions Labour’s plans for a proportional system at European Parliament elections. Now what?”
The card was intended to poke fun at Mr Blair’s reluctance to spell out his long-term reform plans for the second chamber. THE CHEEKY Christmas card from the Tory Opposition in the Lords shows a cartoon of Tony Blair next to a half-demolished Lords building A workman tells him: “So far so good, Prime Minister. Ordinary people seem to understand what their leaders do not: that some things are complicated and personal and, in the end, private.This was the year when the moralists tried to undo the Sixties – and failed So far.. Professor Robert Worcester of Mori says this has been a watershed year in which people showed that they can separate public politics from private lives.

If that’s the way the Championship will be decided, I don’t want to win it.”That McRae will arrive in Chester two weeks on Sunday level with Sainz at the top of the Championship leaderboard is a miracle in itself. “Why would the team director support a driver who was leaving the team? Last week we all had a good idea Carlos was leaving.”A key reason for Richards ordering McRae to concede victory was the real danger from the unpredictable Spanish fans, who have been known to throw rocks at rival drivers in an attempt to benefit their local heroes.In Spain, when McRae stormed past Sainz (known affectionately as “El Matador”) and was soon leading the rally by nine seconds, the Spanish crowd were furious. Placards berated the Scot, even though the team had made it clear that Sainz would win. A Subaru team support car even had its tyres slashed.McRae is now worried that a foolish minority of the two million spectators on the RAC might try and take the Championship into their own hands, as allegedly happened in last year’s event.”If so-called fans can put logs in Carlos’s path, as he claimed last year, then of course I worry that they might try the same again this year,’ McRae said “I would urge them not to. “It is considerably harder starting [the RAC] knowing that you have to win,” he admitted.The irony of the situation is not lost on McRae. Four days after losing in Spain for fear of retribution from his team, McRae found out for sure that Sainz will leave Subaru, with whom he won the World Championship in 1990 and 1992, after the RAC Rally and move back to Toyota.”Now he has signed for Toyota, it makes the decision even more ludicrous,” protested the 27-year-old from Lanark.
The fiery Scot feels that he should have won in Catalonia and now be 10 points ahead of, not level pegging with the twice world champion from Madrid.”[Catalonia] was the best rally of my career, I was beating Carlos fair and square on the last day and it was wrong of DR (David Richards) to impose team orders with the Championship at stake,” McRae said. A threat that the joint Championship leaders would be ordered home in a predetermined formation was yesterday ruled out by the 555 Subaru team, for whom both drive. lt was the team director, David Richards, who controversially decided the outcome of the Catalonia Rally in Spain 10 days ago by imposing a “hold positions” order on Sainz and McRae. Sainz’s win and McRae’s second place put the pair equal at the top of the Championship, eight points ahead of the four-times champion, Juha Kankkunen.
The news that the season’s climax will be decided on driver skill and mechanical reliability will come as little relief for Scotland’s Colin McRae, twice British rally champion and determined to become his country’s first world champion.

PRISTINA (Reuters) – Vice President Joe Biden received a tumultuous welcome in Kosovo on Thursday just hours after leaving Serbia where thousands of police kept streets empty to avoid anti-American protests.
World | Barack ObamaThe contrasting welcomes on a three-day tour of the Balkans highlighted both warm Kosovar feelings for the United States which has supported its independence, and the still uneasy relations between Serbia and Washington.”Welcome and Thank You,” said posters across Pristina, showing pictures of Biden, a former U.S. senator known for his support of Kosovo independence from Serbia.Thousands of schoolchildren lined his route into town, holding up American and Kosovo flags. They cheered wildly as his black limousine passed, and some chanted: “USA, USA.”"The United States and God saved us in 1999. Biden is our man and I came here to see him,” said Shukri Morina, who traveled 30 kilometers (19 miles) to Pristina.In Serbia, police cleared the streets of people who still bitterly remember the NATO 1999 bombing of Belgrade, and some offices were told to keep their windows shut with the curtains drawn. Hundreds of police lined Biden’s route to the airport and even the tarmac itself.Kosovo, where more than 90 percent of its two million people are ethnic Albanians, declared independence last year, but Serbia is suing in an international court, claiming it had no right to do so.International troops still patrol, including about 1,400 from the United States. Over the past decade the international community has given billions of dollars in aid to landlocked Kosovo, the Balkans’ smallest geographic country.”I think the government has made considerable progress in the first year, it’s remarkable,” Biden said in a meeting with Kosovo’s prime minister and president. “The United States has made it clear that the recognition of Kosovo is irreversible.”Unemployment is still very high and crime and corruption remain serious.
With several European Union countries refusing to recognize Kosovo, it is the only Balkan country without any EU prospects at present.”We have given our commitments to continue good governance, transparency, rule of law and fight corruption,” said Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci. Biden’s visit “is a reconfirmation of powerful support from the U.S. for the progress that we have achieved in Kosovo.”CHURCH DISPUTETo highlight American support for the rights of the ethnic Serb minority, Biden plans to visit the 14th century Decani monastery, one of the jewels of the Serbian Orthodox Church.But Orthodox Church leaders in Kosovo with jurisdiction over Decani criticized the plans.”The U.S. vice president is visiting Kosovo as an independent state, to confirm the forceful secession of Serbia’s territory and its handover to Albanian terrorists who were not punished for numerous crimes against Serbian people, Serbian property and Serbian cultural and religious heritage,” they said in a press statement.”Does Joseph Biden want to confirm with his gesture that Decani is an American base in Kosovo, the same as camp Bondsteel?” the statement asked, referring to a military base Biden was also to visit on Thursday.(Additional reporting by Fatos Bytyci in Pristina and Branislav Krstic in Decani; Editing by Myra MacDonald) World Barack Obama.
But it is contesting only 11 of the assembly’s 128 seats, most of which are effectively allotted in advance under Lebanon’s complex sectarian power-sharing system.Amal may win a bigger number, with overall victory for the bloc dependent on how Aoun and his Christian allies perform.POSTURING OVER UNITY GOVERNMENT”The election swing will be very narrow,” said Shafiq Masri, law professor at the Lebanese University. “So it’s not a choice, it’s a necessity to come back to a national unity government.”The election antagonists, yoked since July in an uneasy broad-based government, have been posturing on the issue.Saad al-Hariri, head of the loose anti-Syrian coalition, has declared he would rather go into opposition if his side loses. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah countered that he “won’t beg” Hariri and company to join a unity government.Nevertheless, Nasrallah is unlikely to favor an overtly partisan cabinet that Western and some Arab countries might cold-shoulder, as they have the Palestinian government led by Hamas, which lies with Hezbollah on the U.S. terrorist list.”The (Hezbollah-led) opposition cannot deal with the outside world if it insists on ruling alone,” Masri said.A detente in Syrian-Saudi ties has already defused tensions in Lebanon in recent months Continued regional calm as U.S. He saw Suleiman as lynchpin of a bloc that has “good relations with Syria, growing security relations with the West and a civil relationship with Hezbollah.”FURY AT SYRIA LOSING RELEVANCE?Hariri’s candidates may find less potency in the anti-Syrian rallying cry that helped them win the 2005 election. The vote took place soon after Syrian troops quit Lebanon amid an outcry over the killing of Saad’s statesman father, Rafik al-Hariri.Syria is no longer shunned by the West and won some approval in the past year by forging diplomatic ties with Lebanon for the first time since the two countries gained independence.While few expect Damascus to re-implant a military presence in Lebanon, an election win for its allies would reinforce its political — and perhaps security — influence in its neighbor.This could spell difficulties ahead for the international tribunal set up to try Hariri’s killers. Last month the court ordered the release of four pro-Syrian Lebanese generals held for nearly four years, citing lack of evidence to indict them.The likeliest election outcome may be a messy compromise, heralding a return to traditional Lebanese politics that might ensure temporary stability but defer any serious reform.”They have tried to take on the radical elements, including Hezbollah, and they have lost,” Makdissi said of Hariri’s bloc.”The political class is ready to settle back into their hibernation of making money and milking the state of all its resources, so services and social issues continue to suffer.”The wild card, Makdissi argued, is Aoun, the former scourge of Syria now allied with Hezbollah.
