Petra László, who worked for N1TV and had reported links to nationalist political party Jobbik, put her leg out in front of, first, a man clutching a young child, and then a girl, causing them to trip over. After footage of the incident was uploaded to Twitter by a German reporter, N1TV confirmed that it had dismissed Ms László due to “unacceptable behaviour”: image by Stephan Richter via the Independent, 8 September 2015

This is the year which people will talk about.
This is the year which people will be silent about.

The old see the young die.
The foolish see the wise die.

The earth no longer produces, it devours.
The sky hurls down no rain, only iron.

Bertot Brecht (1898-1956): "This is the year which people will talk about", from In Finland (In Finnland), 1940, translated by Sammy McLean in Bertolt Brecht: Poems 1913-1956, ed. John Willett and Ralph Manheim, 1976
