Helen Cummings prays as she hears the jury's 'not guilty' verdict. In an extremely controversial case with racial overtones, the 8 months pregnant mother of an 18 month old faced a murder charge. Mrs Cummings shot and killed her husband on Valentine's day earlier that year. My partner and I had covered the story from the get go when we first heard of the shooting. Mrs Cummings had discovered a photograph of a naked woman under the driver's seat of her husband's car earlier on the day she shot and killed him. She claimed her husband was a lying, cheating bully who regularly threatened her with a gun and had written a faux suicide note for her to find when she returned from work that day. The state claimed Mrs Cummings had shot her husband in cold blood whilst he slept, yet her defense attorney managed to convince the jury that Mr Cummings had acted in self defense, her husband having entered the bedroom threatening to kill his wife. Fearing for her life she had grabbed a revolver the couple kept in the bedroom and unloaded 6 shots from a .38 caliber revolver into her husband. 'I just kept firing until it went click, click, click. He was going to kill me,' she claimed. Mrs Cummings did not know she was pregnant a second time until she was arrested and tested in jail. Upon hearing the verdict Mrs Cummings' father said, 'There are no winners here, we are all losers.' The victim Terry Cummings' brother John cried foul of the all white jurors. 'This is white man's justice,' he declared. Helen Cummings' claimed she did not know how to shoot a gun, a claim that differs from investigations we made with local gun clubs, one of whom claimed Terry Cummings brought his wife in on several occasions to teach her how to shoot a .38 caliber revolver, a fact not revealed in court. Mrs Cummings returned to England following the verdict.<br />

Care4Calais warehouse. 'Migration is not a crime,' reads the poster of Paddington Bear - himself an immigrant to the UK from Peru adorns the back of a door at the charity's distribution hub.  Everything donated to the charity which can be used is cleaned, pre sorted and checked to ensure items are in good condition before they are distributed to desperate migrant refugees - many of whom have little in the way of warm clothing or possessions as winter approaches.<br />
Claire Moseley, founder of the British volunteer run refugee charity Care4Calais works tirelessly to build her foundation  to help migrant refugees as they struggle to survive on the streets of Calais where they are constantly harassed and moved on by authorities. Care4Calais provides meals, clothing, haircuts, charging stations for phones, medical aid, hot drinks, tents, blankets and a wide range of goods and services.<br />

  • 29 August 2007. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. <br />
Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Robert Lynn Green Sr  and grand daughter Chayana Hurst (4 yrs) sits on the steps of 1826 Tennessee Street in front of his trailer in the Lower 9th Ward. The steps are all that remain of his house after it was deluged by the levee breach just blocks from the steps. Robert lost his mother and grand daughter at the house when they perished in the terrible flooding. He lost hold of his grand daughter in the swirling floods. She was drowned. His mother was not found for 4 months when her skeleton was discovered in what remained of his washed away house. Robert hopes to rebuild. Many residents are struggling to return to the still derelict and decimated Lower 9th Ward.<br />

The 'Vinbulance.' The 4th emergency service delivering wine, beer and spirits in and around Le Touquet and Montreuil Sur Mer in Hauts de France, 1 hour south of Calais.<br />
Olivier and Belinda Tirel, (both 45 yrs old) owners of La Cave de Montreuil and Le Touquet with their emergency vehicle, the 'Vinbulance.' <br />
<br />
Belinda, an Australian met Olivier, a Frenchman in England when they both worked at Café Rouge in Kew Gardens in London in 1996. Married 24 years with 4  children they own 2 wine shops, one in Le Touquet (since 2007) and one in Montreuil Sur Mer (since 2015). <br />
<br />
Belinda came up with the idea of the 'Vinbulance' having seen a photo of a 'winebulance' on the internet. Olivier and Belinda contacted friends who are doctors, nurses and medical technicians before embarking on the idea.

A group of young Kurdish migrant refugees all desperate to get to Britain turn their backs to the camera because they do not wish to be identified outside their tent inside the migrant refugee camp in Dunkerque. British founded charity Care4Calais along with other aid organisations offer food, assistance, phone charging, haircuts, clothing, tents and more to migrant refugees. A new 'Jungle' appears to be springing up from the trees and woods on the outskirts of Dunkerque where conditions are not as hostile or inhospitable as they are currently in Calais 30km to the south.<br />

The 'Vinbulance.' The 4th emergency service delivering wine, beer and spirits in and around Le Touquet and Montreuil Sur Mer in Hauts de France, 1 hour south of Calais.<br />
Olivier and Belinda Tirel, (both 45 yrs old) owners of La Cave de Montreuil and Le Touquet with their emergency vehicle, the 'Vinbulance.' <br />
<br />
Belinda, an Australian met Olivier, a Frenchman in England when they both worked at Café Rouge in Kew Gardens in London in 1996. Married 24 years with 4  children they own 2 wine shops, one in Le Touquet (since 2007) and one in Montreuil Sur Mer (since 2015). <br />
<br />
Belinda came up with the idea of the 'Vinbulance' having seen a photo of a 'winebulance' on the internet. Olivier and Belinda contacted friends who are doctors, nurses and medical technicians before embarking on the idea. They wanted to check that their idea would not be offensive to those working on the front lines against coronavirus. All their friends in the medical profession thought it would be an excellent idea to try and cheer people up, bring a smile to their faces and help lift people's spirits in these difficult times. 'Which was the point of it,' explained Olivier.<br />
<br />
'People give us thumbs up, toot their horns and wave when they see the 'vinbulance.' Belinda was stopped twice in the past 2 days with people asking to take photos of her and the 'vinbulance' explained Olivier. 'One person, a regular customer even ordered some wine because he did not know we were open.'<br />
<br />
'The coronavirus crisis has badly affected business. We have lost all of our restaurant trade and people just are not having parties and celebrating as they were before all this,' explained Olivier.<br />
<br />
'We are considered a business of 'première nécessité,' (first necessity) as declared by the  French Government which means we can remain open. We don't get any help from the government financially, we have 4 children and a Brazilian exchange student who is staying with us beca

  • 07 June 2010. Pointe aux Chenes, Louisiana.<br />
Fading away. Russel Darden, a shrimper, crabber, oysterman, fisherman. Russel holds over $1,000 worth of various fishing permits issued by the state. At present, all his fishing grounds are closed. He can not make use of any of the permits and he can not earn the money to make up the money. Russel is a member of the Pointe aux Chenes Indians, settlers that can trace their roots beyond 5 generations back to France. French cajun is the language of the elders, but is dying out in the children of today. BP's catastrophic oil spill threatens the tribe's very existence, their way of life and the land on which they live. Not recognised by the federal government, the 680 member tribe struggles for funds in a small community that survives only because of fishing and oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico.<br />

  • 01 Sept, 2005. New Orleans, Louisiana.<br />
Mass evacuation of New Orleans begins. A poem handed to us by an evacuee as they headed to the busses taking them out of New Orleans to destinations unknown.<br />
The poem by Lethia Guichard is titled; <br />
'Dying to Survive.'<br />
Life is full of its ups and downs,<br />
As we chase rainbows all around,<br />
They seem to lead us everywhere,<br />
That gives us joy and pain to bear,<br />
Those in charge are not to be found,<br />
Faith not a face stayed or came to town,<br />
leaving us in this fishbowl of hell water to drown.<br />

  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Resident Terry Charles moved back into his flood ravaged home months ago and lives in his mould filled home from which he was lucky to escape when the hurricane hit. Terry suffers from severe mental problems, yet somehow manages to live alone with no neighbours or community. He has not eaten for days. He holds a net he made, in which he 'catches things.' The net contained a flood damaged rusty cigarette lighter and various bits of junk. There are no social services to help Terry. He can quote passages from the bible and scratches bizarre drawings on bits of paper he finds. Terry needs help desperately, but none is available to him. He does not know it is the one year anniversary today.

He knows his life will never be the same again. The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and oil and gas production. They are the most fertile wetlands and nurseries of their kind in the world.<br />

A group of young Kurdish migrant refugees all desperate to get to Britain turn their backs to the camera because they do not wish to be identified outside their tent inside the migrant refugee camp in Dunkerque. British founded charity Care4Calais along with other aid organisations offer food, assistance, phone charging, haircuts, clothing, tents and more to migrant refugees. A new 'Jungle' appears to be springing up from the trees and woods on the outskirts of Dunkerque where conditions are not as hostile or inhospitable as they are currently in Calais 30km to the south.<br />

  • 26 June 2020. Zone des Dunes, refugee camp, Calais, France.<br />
A young refugee mother sits at the side of the road with her young 2 year old son close to the tented refugee camp at Zone des Dunes in Calais, a relatively new refugee camp which sprang up just outside the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was closed down by authorities. The mother who did not wish to be named is a refugee from war torn Eritrea. She made her way overland from Eritrea to Sudan and from Sudan through what she described as extremely dangerous Libya. From Libya she was able to get on a boat to Italy where she then boarded a train to Austria and eventually Germany where her son was born. The young mother claimed conditions in Germany were atrocious and she left for France where she has lived in the refugee camp at Calais for almost 6 months. Her dream is to find safety and sanctuary for herself and her little boy in the United Kingdom. <br />

Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
An abundant supply of toilet rolls fill shelves at Leclerc supermarket in Attin near Montreuil Sur Mer. Local supermarkets for the most part have not been plagued by people over-shopping  and hoarding goods. <br />
<br />
Numbers entering the store at any one time are restricted to try and maintain 'social distancing,' in an effort to halt the spread of the virus. Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government.<br />
<br />
Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />
