Hello RRT, The final of the World Online Debating Championships has now finished, although the adjudications are not yet in so we do not know the result. If you want to take a look and decide for yourself which team you think won before the adjudicators views are up please do so at http://debatewise.org/debates/3595. As you have probably noticed the RRT is still running - a few months back I said I thought that we would end at the beginning of October around the end of the WODC. However as mentioned last week the new site is not yet up and debatewise is still up so the RRT may as well carry on for the moment. Nadia is Debater of the Month for September. Alex Debates: See forum <http://debatewise.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=98> and task list <http://debatewise.info/index.php/tasks/one-hour-tasks> Does Israel’s regional isolation matter? Amanda Knox: Innocent or Guilty? Scotland and Norway a special relationship? Will the Internet destroy university? Can Burma/Myanmar become peaceful and united? The multiple choice debate (it has just a short introduction!): Motions: This House would deport foreign nationals convicted of criminal offences. This House believes that criminals have given up their human rights. This House believes that the ECHR protects the guilty from punishment. This House would not deport illegal immigrants who have established families in the UK. -- *Alex Helling * *Content Officer * The International Debate Education Association (IDEA) UK 96a Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3AA | 020 3393 7223 | info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Registered charity in England and Wales.
