Vera aka Brenda Blyehn says farewell

I am a TV junkie, especially British TV and even more so about Vera. She drove that old, old landrover which had seen better days. She the crusty boss who cracked the whip with her team but was soft enough to provide a shoulder for anyone in her team. Yet, when everyone in the team was floundering, the case seeming uncrackable, it was she who would unearth a critical clue at the 12th hour and help her team solve the case. ITV bosses have confirmed Brenda will appear "in two more shows next year before it reaches a dramatic conclusion", according to the Sun newspaper.

For every single one of her fans this is a shot to each heart. Vera was quite unique and not your average crime investigator. She will be missed.

According to the Sun, Brenda has spoken out for the first time about how "hard" she will find walking away from her role as DCI Vera Stanhope.

She wrote on X: "Many thanks to everyone for your good wishes. So very much appreciated.

"Getting ready to start filming series 14 of Vera next week, gonna be hard saying farewell."

My heart bleeds, I am going to miss Vera.

His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car. Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr. One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated. Since then no one has been charged with the murder. Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya (Courtesy of Al Jazeera) Poison, deforestation and power lines have pushed the African raptor population to a 90 per cent decline in the last 40 years. Raptor technician John Kyalo Mwanzia rehabilitates a juvenile fish eagle to flight after it was treated for grounding injuries sustained in a territorial fight at the Lake Naivasha habitat, at Soysambu Raptor Centre. [Tony Karumba/AFP] Simon Thomsett tentatively removes a pink bandage from the wing of an injured bateleur, a short-tailed eagle from the African savannah, where birds of prey are increasingly at risk of extinction. “There is still a long way to go before healing,” Thomsett explains as he lifts up the bird’s dark feathers and examines the injury. “It was injured in the Maasai Mara national park, but we don’t know how,” says the 62-year-old vet who runs the Soysambu Raptor Centre in central Kenya. The 18-month-old eagle, with a dist...
