London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.
2010 (MMX) was a common year starting on Friday (dominical letter C) of the Gregorian calendar, the 2010th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 10th year of the 3rd millennium, the 10th year of the 21st century, and the 1st year of the 2010s decade.
2010 was designated as:
There is a debate among experts and the general public on how to pronounce specific years of the 21st century in English. The year 2010 is pronounced either "two thousand (and) ten", or "twenty-ten". 2010 was the first year to have a wide variation in pronunciation, as the years 2000 to 2009 were generally pronounced "two thousand (and) one, two, three, etc." as opposed to the less common "twenty-oh-_".

VERDICT SCANDALEUX SUR LE MEUTRE DE JIMMY MUBENGA
Watch the full episode here: http://bit.ly/1vaRSd7 Adrienne Makenda Kabana, the widow of Jimmy Mubenga who died whilst being restrained by G4S staff, recently found not guilty of manslaughter, talks to Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi about the case. She says she was ‘shocked’ by the decision, describing it as a ‘scandal’. She was expecting a guilty verdict, given the ‘overwhelming’ evidence, and the jury didn’t explain how they reached that decision. Two of the G4S guards were found to have racist messages on their phone, but the court was not allowed to hear this evidence. Unless the system changes, she thinks that this will continue, and we will see more cases. She says she is planning to highlight racism across the world in the criminal justice system, with a campaign for indepe...

We were outside and inside the G4S AGM at the ExCel Centre in London, protesting against their profit from oppression, state violence and human rights abuses everywhere. Protesters who have disrupted the AGM inside have said that there are probably more protesters than genuine shareholders. From G4S-run prisons in Israel where Palestinians are tortured and held without charge, to the killing of Jimmy Mubenga during his deportation from the UK by G4S security, to G4S-run prisons in South Africa where prisoners are tortured, to the killing of Mr Ward, an Aboriginal man in Australia who was cooked to death in a car while in the custody of G4S security: we WILL shut G4S down.
Afshin Rattansi goes underground with a roundup of 2014. John Pilger warns of a ‘real possibility’ of a nuclear war between Russia and the US, with Western coverage of Ukraine where the truth is ‘so inverted.’ He also points out media bias over the CIA torture report, which Britain has always been ‘masters’ in, and questions the need for force in the Sydney Siege. Adrienne Makenda Kabana, the widow of Jimmy Mubenga, who died whilst being restrained by G4S officers, and Deborah Coles, of INQUEST, who have been providing support for the Mubenga family, join us to discuss the controversial case of the man who 20 people claimed had screams of ‘I can’t breathe’ ignored. And Hollywood veteran Rupert Everett argues more has to be done to protect sex workers as he accuses companies and councils of...

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the power of sanctions. Harry Gibson, author of a recent report on the effectiveness of sanctions, believes that they have been 'incredibly effective' against Russia – although he admits the collapse in oil price has had a far bigger effect on the economy and currency. Kirk Wiebe, an NSA veteran and whistleblower, warns that private contractors are destroying intelligence agencies and 'raping' governmental institutions for profit. We take a look at an airstrike on Al-Bab in Syria which according to a Syrian human rights group killed over 50 civilians. We take a look at PMQs with Cameron struggling with questions over Saudi Arabia's decision to lash a blogger, saying 'no harm' came to 57 people who reportedly died in East Anglia because ambulances did not...

Alphonso McGriff III speaks with Bro' Kalam Sp El from "Talk With The Titans" on Titans TV. The Myth of Racism and White Supremacy. There is no “White Privilege,” or hidden hand, or conspiracy, or Illuminati, or racism, or double standard, or discrimination, or biased, bigoted, or unfair treatment in America. There is White Clarity and Negroes in Denial. The majority of white people have always been clear about their feelings and actions toward Black people. The behavior of the majority of white people is the NATURE of the majority of white people. There is no law, amendment, act, document, court, judge, march, protest, boycott, leader, religion, or God that is going to change the behavior of white people. When we call their behavior racism and/or white supremacy, or a disease, we get...
Down in the Southeast, Miami police officers are practicing riot formations in response to potential unrest over the George Zimmerman trial which is now in the hands of the jury. Is the Obama administration at least partially responsible for turning the George Zimmerman trial into such a huge national spectacle? Judicial Watch has obtained documents which prove that the Community Relations Service, a division of the Department of Justice, was sent to Sanford, Florida in late March 2012 "to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman". This included spending quite a bit of money, arranging meetings between the NAACP and local leaders, and providing police escorts for protesters. Someone needs to ask Obama why the federal government was doing this. A story that sho...

Justice for 'LaVoy' Finicum On March 4, 2016 a diverse group of protesters voiced their concerns in front of the federal courthouse in Tucson, demanding that the state troopers who shot Finicum to be indicted and fired; Finicum was from Arizona.
