A New Era of Formula 1 Powers Itself into the History Books

This weekend Formula 1 welcomed in the new quieter noise of its hybrid engines, with Niko Rosberg winning an eventful Australian GP. The results follows on from Mercedes' promise to be dominant this season.

Many pundits have long thought that Mercedes have made the best use of the new regulations. This has been evident through pre-season testing, and over the race weekend at Albert Park, Melbourne. Despite qualifying first, bookies' favourite Lewis Hamilton suffered from an engine failure from the start. He ended up retiring after just three laps.

Many fans of the sport will be relieved to see an end of the dominance of Vettel, who retired from Sunday's race after just four laps. This was most evident during qualifying on Saturday, when his failure to make it into the final stage was met by cheers from the crowd.

BBC 3 Set to Disappear into Cyberspace

Tony Hall's axe has swiftly fallen on its youth-orientated TV channel, BBC 3, as the BBC tries to save £100 million.

The channel, which launched in 2003, is now set to be moved online, to the corporation's iPlayer service in Autumn 2015. The latest cost-cutting measure by the BBC Director General, is an attempt to save popular BBC 1 dramas, such as Sherlock and Doctor Who.

Last week, Adebolajo and Adebowale, were both sentenced to life imprisonment, nine months after their brutal attack on Drummer Lee Rigby on a South London street.

The pair were sentenced in their absence after brawling with security guards during Mr Justice Sweeny's opening sentencing remarks. This brings around a legal resolution wanted by all. But how can the family move on after losing a loved one in such a tragic and public way?

Lee Rigby's funeral

Most of us would have seen the upsetting images taken on Artillery Place, Woolwich, in the immediate aftermath of the attack. We were horrified at the sight of an unshaken man calmly addressing a camera phone, while brandishing a blood-soaked cleaver. He stood in front of a man, who laid in the road in a puddle of blood.
