MANAMA: Bahrain was under tight security on Saturday after violent clashes between police and anti-government protesters overshadowed this weekend’s Formula One Grand Prix race meeting in the Gulf state.
The protesters, mostly from the majority Shi’ite Muslim community, blame the Sunni ruling elite for shutting them out of opportunities, jobs and housing, and are keenly aware of the attention the motor race has focused on Bahrain, which in 2004 became the first country in the region to host Formula One.

Ikiru (to live) by Akira Kurosawa 1952
There are certain key thoughts, feelings, songs, artwork, texts or movies which I return to in my head when ever I feel like I’m loosing my way. This film is one of those. If anyone wants to know what’s at the heart of bright stem or anyone who doesn’t give a flying f***k about bright stem but just wants to watch a really really amazing film which will change how you view the world and more importantly your role within that world then please watch this film. I know its black and white, I know it has subtitles, and I know its very slow moving but be attentive consentrate don’t fall asleep! This is not the sort of film you want to fall asleep to.
