Article Abstract:
Hello! magazine has matured recently, but still has great potential for further coverage of the lives of well known people, according to editor Maggie Koumi. Its circulation is currently 500,000 a week, with its main competition having come until recently from tabloid newspapers. However, it is soon to face stiffer competition as OK! magazine, which has a very similar format, shifts from monthly to weekly publication. OK! will attract readers because it has a very British focus, according to editor Richard Barber.

Article Abstract:
A media investigation which revealed systematic physical and sexual abuse of hundreds of children in care homes across the UK has prompted the government to announce a national inquiry. It has been found that children as young as six were the responsibility of paedophiles and that complaints to the authorities were ignored. The government is also to undertake a separate investigation into abuse at care homes in Clwyd.

Article Abstract:
The UK government has failed to take action to ensure that children in residential care homes do not fall victim to sexual or psychological abuse. The present system allows people whose background has not been fully checked to be employed in such establishments, and does not bring prosecutions against people who have committed acts of abuse. Many abused children are badly affected for the rest of their lives.
