Answers

1.- David Cameron feels really sorry about the actions that the parachute regiment took that day and says that they made the mistake. Because when the soldiers shot at the civilians they were unarmed and their civil rights let them march and express their opinions so there wasn't any reason to shot those inoffensive civilians.

2.-  I think that this case has been open for a long time and very controversial because the human rights were not taken seriously. And all the society is based on the human and civil rights, so if you dont respect you are not respecting the entire society and that has to be punished because if even those type of crimes arent punished everyone would do whatever they want.

3.-  First, because it's a very controversial topic and also because this events happened like 30 years ago, so they really dont have trustable evidence,in fact they dont have much evidence .

The lost mouth guard 

Finally it was Saturday, the day of the important match between Blues and Crusaders.  Frankly, I don't think is a very good match, but for a lot of people it is quite important. The thing is that Rene Ranger the star of the blues couldn't find his really expensive and custom made mouth guard that his father gave him 3 months ago before dying.  It wasn't  on his box, sports bag or even in his shoes.

At that moment,  he started running from the field to his house because his father before dying said ' promise me you are never going to play again without mouth guard, because you broke your teeth more than once'. So, when he arrived home he started looking for his mouth guard everywhere but he couldn't find it, so he stupidly said to "himself" 'sorry father it's because of this fantastic match I'm playing today', so he started running back to the field.

When he arrived to the field,  his team was almost going into the field and foolishly he decided to get into the field without a  mouth guard. When his coach heard that he said ' that a very fool decision boy but it is up to you'

At the first minute he received an astonishing tackle, after that tackle to his leg he discovered his mouth guard was in his pocket.
