Media Freedom Debate

The EPMU Media Freedom Debate will be held on Thursday, May 9, at the Backbencher Pub. Doors open at 5pm for dinner and drinks and the debate itself will start about 7.30pm.

The moot: That you can trust a blogger, a lobbyist and a journalist, but not a politician.

The Knuckleheads David Farrar, blogger Chris Bishop, lobbyist Andrea Vance, journalist

The Politicians Annette King, Labour Tau Henare, National Grant Robertson, Labour

TV3's political editor Patrick Gower will chair the debate.

Tickets cost $25.

The money raised goes to the Media Safety and Solidarity Fund which provides support to journalists and other media workers under threat in the Asia-Pacific region. Just a month ago three Pakistani journalists were murdered in a single day.

Some of the specific projects it funds include paying for the education costs of about 100 children of media workers murdered in the Philippines, paying the education costs of about 20 children of media workers murdered in Nepal and helping to fund a media freedom campaign in China.

It has also made contributions to help media workers affected by the floods in Pakistan, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the Christchurch earthquake.

Soldiers awarded freedom of city

Soldiers who spent six months training security forces in Afghanistan have been awarded the Freedom of the City of Edinburgh.

About 450 troops from The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, took part in a parade to mark their homecoming.

The Princess Royal, the battalion's Royal Colonel, also presented medals at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

The 1 SCOTS are based at Edinburgh's Dreghorn Barracks.

In Afghanistan, 1 SCOTS were tasked with training and mentoring members of the Afghan National Army (ANA) to help them prepare to take over their own country's security when Nato troops pull out next year.

The battalion were deployed in September last year and got back to the UK earlier this month.

During their tour, Capt Walter Barrie, 41, was shot dead by a member of the ANA in a so-called "green-on-blue" attack as he played football at Forward Operating Base Shawqat, in Helmand Province.

At the time, Capt Barrie, from Glasgow, was described as a dedicated husband, a loving father of one teenage son and a "soldier's soldier".

Commanding Officer Lt Col Ben Wrench paid tribute to him during the parade down the Royal Mile.
