question:
Richard Page was struck off following a BBC interview in which he said it was better for a man and a woman to adopt. He was also removed as a non-executive director by Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT). During a tribunal earlier he said he "was subjected to a campaign for vilification and victimisation". Mr Page, of Headcorn, Kent, served as a magistrate for more than 15 years and has worked in mental health services for 20 years. In 2014 he ruled against a gay couple's adoption bid. Christian discrimination claim The tribunal heard the other magistrates and court clerk had complained about him being "biased against same-sex couples, bringing the magistracy into disrepute" and being swayed by his Christian views rather than evidence. Following media interviews in which he repeated "it is best for any child to be raised in a traditional family with a mother and a father", Mr Page was suspended by KMPT, and sacked from the bench. Then chair of the trust, Andrew Ling, said Mr Page's comments and continuance as a trust member would have a major impact on staff and patients, particularly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) staff. Mr Page brought a case against them because he believes he has been discriminated against as a Christian. 'How is it relevant?' In a witness statement presented to the tribunal he denied being homophobic and said the reasons for refusing the adoption in this case were three-fold: one of the applicants had a previously failed adoption application and there was no background on the circumstances of that; the child's foster parents of nearly three years also wanted to adopt the child; and he suspected the applicants of "adoption shopping" in England where the process is easier than in some countries, with plans to then take the child abroad. A foster parent himself, he added: "I struggle to understand how my comments are relevant to my position in the NHS." A spokesperson for NHS Improvement said: "It would be wholly inappropriate for us to comment while proceedings are ongoing." The tribunal continues.
answer:
A Christian former magistrate, sacked for comments he made about same-sex adoption, is suing the NHS after also being suspended as a trust director .


question:
Top Gear presenters characterised Mexicans as lazy and feckless. In a letter to Mexico's ambassador in London, the BBC said it was sorry if it had offended some people, but said jokes based on national stereotyping were part of British national humour. The ambassador had demanded an apology, calling the remarks "offensive, xenophobic and humiliating". Hundreds of Mexicans contacted the BBC Spanish-language website BBC Mundo to protest about the remarks made by presenters Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May. 'Racist' Many more expressed outrage in e-mails to Mexican newspapers and websites, where the Top Gear jibes have received huge coverage. The matter was also raised in the Mexican senate, where lawmakers were considering a motion of censure. On Thursday an all-party group of British MPs also urged the BBC to apologise, calling the remarks "ignorant, derogatory and racist". In a statement, the BBC said the comments may have been "rude" and "mischievous," but there was no "vindictiveness" behind them. "Our own comedians make jokes about the British being terrible cooks and terrible romantics, and we in turn make jokes about the Italians being disorganised and over dramatic, the French being arrogant and the Germans being over-organised," the BBC said. It added that stereotype-based comedy was allowed within BBC guidelines in programmes where the audience knew they could expect it, as was the case with Top Gear. "Whilst it may appear offensive to those who have not watched the programme or who are unfamiliar with its humour, the executive producer has made it clear to the ambassador that that was absolutely not the show's intention," the BBC added. 'Refried sick' The executive producer of Top Gear also apologised to ambassador Eduardo Medina Mora personally for remarks made about him. Jeremy Clarkson had said he was confident he would not receive any complaints about their comments because the Mexican ambassador would be asleep. The Top Gear team's comments about Mexicans were made when they were discussing a Mexican sports car. Richard Hammond said vehicles reflected national characteristics so "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy". Reviewing the Mastretta on Sunday's show, Hammond said: "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat." The presenters, known for their edgy jibes, then described Mexican food as "refried sick". It is not the first time the driving programme has caused controversy. Hundreds of viewers complained in 2008 after Clarkson made a joke about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes. Last week, the programme was named most popular factual show at the British National TV Awards.
answer:
The BBC has apologised for remarks made on the television programme, Top Gear, that caused outrage in Mexico.


question:
Planes hit Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) targets in both the south-east and over the border in northern Iraq. Saturday's twin bombing in Ankara killed at least 95 people, making it the deadliest such attack ever. Security sources say they suspect the so-called Islamic State (IS) group was behind the attack. The air force struck after the government rejected a new ceasefire announced by the PKK on Saturday. Tensions in Turkey were already high, with a general election looming on 1 November. The governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its overall majority in June after gains by the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP), which was involved in Saturday's rally.

PKK positions were destroyed in the Metina and Zap areas of northern Iraq in Sunday's air strikes, the Turkish military said. On Saturday, the air force targeted the PKK in Turkey's Diyarbakir province. Forty-nine people were reported killed in the strikes, but these figures could not be verified independently. "The PKK ceasefire means nothing for us," one senior Turkish security official told Reuters news agency. "The operations will continue without a break." The government has furiously denied opposition suggestions it was involved in the Ankara bomb attacks itself. HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas accused the government of failing to fully investigate earlier attacks on political rallies. "The state which gets information about the bird that flies, and every flap of its wing, was not able to prevent a massacre in the heart of Ankara," he said. According to the HDP, the true death toll from Saturday is at least 128. The Turkish authorities believe two suicide bombers struck at the rally on Saturday. Two senior security officials who spoke to Reuters said the initial signs were that IS was to blame. "All signs indicate that the attack may have been carried out by Isil [IS]," one of the unnamed sources said. "We are completely focused on Isil." Funerals Three days of mourning began on Sunday. In Istanbul, hundreds of mourners at the funeral of one victim, Kubra Meltem Mollaoglu, chanted, "The killer government will be held accountable for its crimes!" Thousands of people gathered in the centre of Ankara to remember the victims. There was a clear sense of anger towards the government, with people blaming it for security failures, the BBC's Selin Girit reports. In the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir, police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse people protesting about the Ankara bombing. Outside Ankara's forensic morgue, families and friends of victims waited for the bodies of their loved ones. "Everyone came here to defend peace," Umit, whose sister died in the attack, told the AFP news agency. Another mourner outside the morgue, Havva, said: "Those who do not believe in brotherhood, those who don't believe in equality of the people of this country, are the ones who provoked what we saw yesterday in Ankara." One of the victims has been identified as 70-year-old Meryem Bulut, a member of the Saturday Mothers group, who have protested about their missing sons since the 1990s. The victims Turkey is mourning the deaths of at least 95 people. These are just a few of those who lost their lives, clockwise from top left:
