The seventh story was about Rhys Jones, the 11 year old boy from Liverpool who was shot be a teenage gunman when he got caught between rival gangs. The story surrounds the trial and the fear of the witnesses because of reprisal threats by the gangs. On the back of this story was a picture of Barrack Obama as someone who now has the opportunity and potential to make a positive difference across the world. This was not a reflection or comment on his politics, just a reaction to his strong iconic image and, now as president of the USA, we think we are right to have an expectation that he fulfills his responsibility to try and bring peace to the world. The caption reads ‘Happy the peacemakers’.

    I stayed up late into Wednesday morning to see this man elected President of the United States. His acceptance speech is wonderful. I pray that he fulfills his potential as a peacemaker.
