Hungary's PM Does Not Heart the EU

Reality Check: Victor Orban tells the EU to mind its own business, refugees in South Sudan need help before the rain comes, the cost of the London Olympic Village, the poignant story of a Syrian student, and the 'Twitterfication" of old-school media.

Hungary's PM to Europe: Butt Out!
Hungary's Prime Minister Victor Orban took the opportunity of Hungary's National Holiday yesterday ( marking the 164th anniversary of the outbreak of the 1848 revolution and war of independence against the Habsburg rule) to deliver a speech wherein he did not profess a alot of love for the European Union. He accused it of demonstrating colonialist behavior, disrespecting his country's sovereignty and meddling in its domestic affairs. FM4's man in Hungary Nik Thorpe tells us what THAT was all about...

South Sudan: Urgent Help Needed
80 000 refugees from Sudan’s Blue Nile state have sought shelter in two camps located in a very remote region of South Sudan. It is incredibly hard for aid workers to get themselves and their relief goods there under dry conditions but the upcoming rainy season will make the delivery of goods impossible. Meinie Nicolai, from the group Medicins Sans Frontiere or Doctors Without Borders, tells us what needs to be done ASAP.

London's Olympic Village
Hosting the Olympics takes big bucks. Or quite a few quid as is the case in London right now. How much will the Olympic village for the summer games in London cost? Katy Andrews from Games Monitor
has calculated the bill.

A Syrian Student's Story
Hadil Kouki is just like any 20 year-old university student. Except she knows what it means to be tortured, flee your country all alone, and face violent persecution in the country providing refuge. ORF Cairo Bureau Chief Karim El-Gawahry gives us an account meeting Hadil.

The Twitterfication of Old-School Media

First of all, 'Twitterfication' is not a real word, I just made it up but I think it makes sense. Second of all, it is what is happening to news service providers who are struggling to stay in business. Chris Moran, an online editor at the Guardian gives us a definition of the word I made up.
