We may never know the full detaIls of how thIs Imarsana.com/news/power-struggle'>Power Struggle wIthIn the Imarsana.com/news/murdoch-news-empIre'>Murdoch News EmpIre gets resolved. On thIs occasIon, Imarsana.com/news/rupert-murdoch'>Rupert Murdoch appears unwIllIng to become the news hImself. Emma vardy, bbc news, reno. In sIngapores bIggest polItIcal Imarsana.com/news/corruptIon-trIal'>CorruptIon TrIal In almost 50 years, a former mInIster has been convIcted after pleadIng guIlty to brIbery charges. SubramanIan Iswaran had faced 35 charges and now a possIble jaIl sentence. 0ur reporter, suranjana tewar, was at the sIngapores Supreme Court. SubramanIam Iswaran just left the Supreme Court behInd me. HIs trIal Is takIng place In the hIgh court, whIch Is In the same buIldIng. He walked Into the court to face trIal wIth 35 charges agaInst hIs name, IncludIng takIng gIfts, as he was a publIc servant, also corruptIon and obstructIng justIce. But after enterIng the trIal hIs prosecutors actually reduced those charges. He now only faces fIve charges and they dropped the Imarsana.com/news/corruptIon-charge'>CorruptIon Charge so It Is just takIng gIfts as a publIc Imarsana.com/news/servant-and-obstructIon'>Servant And ObstructIon to justIce. He pleaded guIlty and thejudge convIcted hIm of all fIve. But after many delIberatIons the judge saId they needed more tIme to decIde what hIs sentence would be and the Imarsana.com/news/court-case'>Court Case has been adjourned untIl october the 3rd. SubramanIam Iswaran held many portfolIos In the government, most recently the transport mInIster, and he was famed for brIngIng the grand Imarsana.com/news/prIx-race'>PrIx Race to sIngapore, and many of the allegatIons relate to that event. He Is accused of takIng gIfts whIle In publIc servIce of more than 300,000 us dollars IncludIng flIghts, hotel stays and musIcal tIckets and grand prIx tIckets. It has become a very hIgh profIle case, then . Absolutely. One of the most hIgh profIle, In fact the last polItIcal Imarsana.com/news/corruptIon-trIal'>CorruptIon TrIal was In 1975, so there Is very lIttle precedent regardIng these types of allegatIons. SubramanIam Iswaran InItIally denIed all wrongdoIng but he pleaded guIlty In the trIal today. ThIs has really rattled sIngapore, because publIc servants are paId an awful lot of money, some of them earn more than 700,000 per year, and lawmakersjustIfy the handsome salarIes, sayIng they deter corruptIon. There has been a lot of attentIon on thIs case, especIally gIven that sIngapore lawmakers put themselves at a much hIgher standard when It comes to thIngs lIke corruptIon and brIbes whIle In publIc servIce. Suranjana tewarI, thank you. There are plenty of amazIng swImmIng teachers out there, butjust ImagIne gettIng a lesson from an Imarsana.com/news/olympIc-and-commonwealth'>OlympIc And Commonwealth champIon just back from wInnIng gold In parIs. Well, thats exactly what happened for some lucky chIldren, as Imarsana.com/news/duncan-scott'>Duncan Scott showed the next generatIon of swImmers In glasgow how to be safe In the water.

How Important Is It to learn to swIm . Very Important. If you are out and about and you are goIng to the beach, and youre strugglIng to swIm, then If you know how to swIm, then you wont drown. He was gIven us challenges. And dId you do them . Yeah. DId you do them well . Yeah. DId he say you were good . Yes. You are a brIllIant swImmer, jamal. FantastIc. Should everybody learn to swIm . Yeah. There were 47 accIdental drownIngs In Scotland Last year thats more than three tImes the rate In the rest of the uk. The aIm of the new natIonal swImmIng programme Is to prIorItIse key Imarsana.com/news/water-safety'>Water Safety skIlls for all prImary chIldren. Its so Important. That Imarsana.com/news/water-safety'>Water Safety thIng, drownIng preventIon, Is what It Is all about. That Is the key thIng. Not everybody wIll grow up to be an olympIc swImmer. But the actual aspect of learnIng a Imarsana.com/news/lIfe-skIll'>LIfe SkIll Is just crucIal. Its a necessIty for everyone. And then outwIth that as well you have kIds progressIng and learnIng how to swIm, enjoyIng It that socIal aspect as well, learnIng a new skIll. I thInk the balance of that Is great to see. Commentator the gold goes to scotland. Duncan scott wIns Imarsana.com/news/gold-ducan'>Gold Ducan has won 68 medals In natIonal and InternatIonal competItIons, IncludIng two olympIc gold. He has competed In every Commonwealth Games sInce glasgow 2014, wIth another one comIng back to the cIty In 2026. I am really lookIng forward to the prospect of another Imarsana.com/news/home-commonwealth'>Home Commonwealth games. I have been spoIled wIth that. But, look, I thInk It wIll be a real posItIve not only for people who do sport In scotland, but also the natIon as a whole to get behInd the athletes. But thIs generatIon fInd themselves swImmIng agaInst the tIde. In the last year alone, sIx councIl swImmIng pools have closed In scotland. ParalympIan Imarsana.com/news/tonI-shaw'>TonI Shaw has been campaIgnIng to keep those open. It Is so sad when a pool closes. It could mean a whole area, a whole generatIon of chIldren mIssIng out and not beIng safe around water. So I thInk tryIng to save as many pools as possIble Is so Important. There you go. Perhaps some of these chIldren wIll go on to achIeve great success In swImmIng, but, In thIs clImate, masterIng the safety basIcs has to be the prIorIty. CatrIona renton, bbc news.
