The blaze was reported before dawn on a sound stage at the film studios, said Los Angeles fire captain Frank Reynoso.

More than 100 city and county firefighters are helping studio staff tackle the flames, which have caused several explosions.

No injuries have been reported at the 230-acre site, which saw filming for King Kong and The War of the Worlds.

Helicopters have been dropping water on to the burning structures, and television pictures showed flames leaping into the air as a thick cloud of smoke covered the site.

What are the implications for artists around the world? Will the loss of this major studio affect the broader company? What response is to be expected from the shareholders?

Jamaican leader defends ban on gays in his cabinet

Jamaican Prime Minister, Bruce Golding, in a HARD talk interview shown on 20th May 2008 with Stephen Sackur, BBC, was for the most part, quick on his feet and deadly accurate. However his calm and composed mood was shaken as Stephen Sackur started throwing out questions based on Jamaica’s apparent “intolerance to homosexuality.”

What would have otherwise been a spectacular night, ended in, what some viewers called, “shock and awe,” as Jamaicans watched their Prime Minister painted as homophobic and intolerant to people of different cultural beliefs.

But what are the underlying implications of the accusations? Will the government maintain its strong stance against homosexuals in parliament, if a majority percentage of the Jamaican population becomes homosexual? Does Bruce Golding himself seek to defend the morality and culture of the Jamaican people, from even the Jamaica people themselves?

A senior UK police officer has called on parents to take more responsibility after 10 teenagers were sentenced over the murder of two schoolboys.

Sixteen-year-old Kodjo Yenga and Paul Erhahon, 14, were stabbed in separate incidents in London last year – both had been set upon by teenage gangs.

Kodjo, a bright student who was expected to go to university, was chased through the streets of Hammersmith by teenagers armed with knives and bats, and even a bull terrier, shouting “kill him, kill him”.

Kodjo was left dying in his girlfriend’s arms as the gang, some wearing school uniforms, ran away, laughing.
