      "In recent years, migrants have raised their demands through protests, road blockages, sit-ins and spontaneous strikes. Although these have not always proved effective, workers have become more aware of their collective strength. In the past year they have won some improvements in wages and working conditions. Many migrant workers, now better informed, are far less willing to accept the status quo. As they grow in confidence, the regime will find it increasingly difficult to ignore their demands. China's rulers should realise now that it is in their long-term interests to listen." YES, they really should do this to show the government that they have a right to complain about what's right or wrong! If you're rich still doesn't mean that you have all the rights to do anything you want.

    In China, poor migrants who earn a living by working low calss jobs in Beijing is treated unfairly. The chinese public schools, especialy nursery schools, would not let the migrant's children be enrolled. Yet, migrants are treated differently than Beijing citizens, and they can't have a normal life.

The bird has moved 150 kilometres further north within the UK in the last 40 years, in response to the changing climate.
  • Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at York University and leader of the project, said: "These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away from the equator at around 20 centimetres per hour, for every hour of the day, for every day of the year.

And while Cetti's warbler – a small brown bird that belies its loud song – moved northwards, the Cirl bunting moved south within the UK by 120km, a victim of intensified agriculture.
  • The research team analysed data from a variety of studies, most of them from Europe and North America, finding more than 2,000 examples of how animal and plant species have adapted by moving their habitat.
