      two news broadcast you will need to be able to discuss, the first being a BBC news broadcast which
      focuses on the coverage of Lee Rigby murder on 22nd May 201s and the second is entitled ‘Paris
      Journalist murders, freedom of speech versus religion, featuring Asghar Bukari, representative of
      Muslim Public Affairs Committee (Broadcast after the Charlie Hebdo killings) – this is taken from Sky
