Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] Geodesic Surveillance: CCTV channel beamed to your home Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Content/displayPrintable.jhtml;jsessionid=X…> The Telegraph CCTV channel beamed to your home By Amy Iggulden (Filed: 09/05/2006) Big Brother, the reality television show that attracts up to seven million viewers, is old hat. In the world of boundary-pushing television, it was surpassed yesterday by a group of Eastenders who have become the first to monitor their own neighbourhood via a home CCTV channel. Jan Ashby has the CCTV channel in her flat: 'I must admit I have watched it everyday since I jave had it' Shoreditch TV is an experiment in beaming live footage from the street into people's homes and promises to be every bit as fascinating as the courtship rituals of Celebrity Big Brother contestants Chantelle and Preston. Viewers can watch the dog walkers on the street below, monitor the appearance of new graffiti and keep an eye on the local pub. This summer 22,000 Londoners will be tuning in and homes across Britain are getting their own version next year. But despite being a curtain-twitcher's paradise, the channel is about "fighting crime from the sofa", not entertainment. In return for a package that includes footage from 12 security cameras, a police advice channel and an array of standard cable fare, the residents of Haberdasher Estate are expected to shop any yobs that they catch on camera. They can alert the council and police through a CCTV hotline and an anonymous e-mail tip-off service. Or they can just watch the world go by. Jan Ashby, 57, a resident who previewed the scheme before yesterday's launch, said: "I wouldn't say it was spying, but it is nice to see what's going on. Look, there's my local pub." Mrs Ashby is a "huge fan" of Channel 4's Big Brother, but is the real deal just as addictive? "I must admit I have watched it everyday since I have had it - but I wouldn't sit down to it for hours." One of the stars of the show is Ken Hodkinson, whose pub, The Marie Lloyd, sits directly under the gaze of Mrs Ashby and Camera South. "I can't say I ever fancied being on television, but I don't mind a bit if it keeps the area safe," he said. Digital Bridge, which set up the scheme for the regeneration agency Shoreditch Trust, hopes it will reduce fear of crime. It is also in talks with police about including an Asbo channel, featuring the faces of youths to avoid because they have broken the terms of their order. Civil liberties groups are concerned, with Mark Crossman of Liberty predicting the emergence of vigilante groups and an epidemic of old ladies crying wolf over young people in hoodies. But James Morris, the chief executive of Digital Bridge, said: "This is not naming and shaming or spying, it is getting the community engaged with their services." After a free three-month trial residents will pay #3.50 a month for the TV on-demand service, which also comes with a wireless keyboard that can turn the television into a PC with broadband internet. Police will also be able to interrupt regular programming with alerts about incidents. arts.telegraph Information appearing on telegraph.co.uk is the copyright of Telegraph Group Limited and must not be reproduced in any medium without licence.

The law is expected to be produced this summer and will allow a man to undertake a woman's identity and vice versa if they can live as the opposite sex for 18 months and be approved be a psychiatrist. The move by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government, is being welcomed by transsexuals and activists. It comes just a year after Spain introduced gay marriages for same sex couples. Although it will not apply to social security , the law will avoid problems transsexuals usually encounter with identity documents. Meanwhile the Spanish Province of Malaga has had one of its first case of domestic violence in a gay marriage this week. Police patrolling the island saw a fight between the lesbian couple, who were one of the first to marry on the Island, and intervened after one of the women had fallen to the floor and was being kicked, officials claim. However, the victim has decided not to press charges, claiming her partner is depressed. In July 2005, Spain became the third country to legalise same sex marriage, after the Netherlands and Belgium. -- ----------------- R. A.
