# The Witness (1978 film)

The Witness (French: Le Témoin, Italian: Il testimone) is a French-Italian crime-thriller film written and directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky and starring Alberto Sordi and Philippe Noiret. It is loosely based on the novel Shadow of a Doubt by Harrison Judd.

## Plot

Italian artist Antonio Berti is invited by his French friend Robert Maurisson to restore the paintings in the Reims Cathedral. He needs a model and selects Cathy, a teenage girl from the local church choir. Despite her angelic demeanor, the girl makes sexually explicit comments while posing for Antonio. One day, Cathy goes missing, and her dead body is later found in a canal, not far from an empty house owned by Maurisson. Antonio remembers seeing his friend Robert near the house on the night of the crime, but the latter denies it and has an alibi. Instead, the police turn their attention to Berti who is an outsider and can't provide an alibi. Later, Robert privately confesses to Antonio, and suggests they both would escape to a country that doesn't have capital punishment. Cathy's father then mistakenly assassinates Maurisson, who was driving Berti's car. Having lost the only person who could prove his innocence, Antonio is convicted and sentenced to death.

## Production

Initially, the director Mocky chose Jean Gabin for the leading role, that of a piano teacher accused of murdering a young girl. The actor agreed but said he wanted Philippe Noiret to be his screen partner. Noiret agreed as well but Gabin died during the pre-production stage. Noiret suggested Alberto Sordi, in that case the film could be a co-production with Italy. The profession of the protagonist was changed to be an art restorer, and the production was moved to Rome though several scenes were filmed in and around Reims where the action takes place. Sordi's participation posed another problem—there is no capital punishment in Italy, and screenwriter Sergio Amidei had to find an acceptable ending for the Italian audiences. Thus two endings were created: Sordi's character is guillotined in the French version, and the Italian version only alludes to it, and shows flashbacks with a smiling Sordi having good times in Reims.

# Gangpur State

Gangpur State, also known as Gangpore State, was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. Until 1905 it was one of the Chhota Nagpur States under the Eastern States Agency.
Covering an area of 6,454 km$^2$, in 1941 Gangpur had a population of 398,171. The population was predominantly Sambalpuri speaking. It was made part of India on 1 January 1948. The capital of Gangpur State was modern Sundargarh of Western Odisha.

## History

According to tradition, the dynasty was established by Gangadhar Sekhar Deo, a scion of the Sekhar dynasty from Sikharbhum near the Singhbhum region of Eastern India with the help of the dominant local Bhuyan clans. Written archival records point to the reign of Indra Shekhar Deo under whom the region formally became a part of the British Empire after the defeat of the Marathas in the Second Anglo-Maratha War.
Gangpur was a feudatory estate of Sambalpur. In 1821 the British authorities canceled the feudatory rights of Sambalpur over Gangpur and the ruler was granted a sanad, by which Gangpur was recognized as a princely state in its own right. On 1 January 1948 the last ruler of Gangpur signed the document of accession to the Indian Union after independence, following which it merged with the state of Odisha, forming a part of the Sundergarh district.

# Bell Square

Bell Square is an outdoor performance space in the London Borough of Hounslow. The space was unveiled in 2014, following five years of collaborative development between Hounslow Council and the Watermans Arts Centre.

## Development

In 2009, the London Borough of Hounslow, together with Watermans Arts Centre, began to devise an outdoor arts programme for Hounslow Town Centre. Initially, a few events were staged to gauge whether the idea would be sustainable, with continued positive feedback and attendance convincing both parties to commit to a dedicated outdoor performance space in 2012.
Throughout the development of Bell Square, London Borough of Hounslow sought out Watermans to provide specialist advice in relation to the design and development of the location, along with technical specifications relating to equipment.

## Performances

The launch event to celebrate the completion of Bell Square was held in June 2014, with the internationally recognized French theatre company Bilbobasso performing Polar, drawing a large audience to the venue on opening night. Following the success of the opening weekend, performances were staged at Bell Square fortnightly on Saturdays from July through to December 2014; creating the opportunity for audiences to view sixteen different performances for free. Over the period, both regional and international acts were attracted to perform at Bell Square. Dance acts such as the Catalonia based group Mar Gomez performing the dance piece Heart Wash; which promised 'to describe through dance the unlikely passion between a strong woman in an arid wilderness and a man adrift amid endless mountains of washing', along with the domestically based act Dream Engine, who performed their unique Conedancers.

# Richard Bellew, 3rd Baron Bellew of Duleek

Richard Bellew, 3rd Baron Bellew of Duleek (c.1671 – 22 March 1715) was an Irish soldier, peer and politician.

## Biography

Bellew was the second son of John Bellew, 1st Baron Bellew of Duleek and Mary Bermingham. He joined his father as a supporter of James II during the Williamite War in Ireland, serving as a captain and later a colonel in the Jacobite dragoon regiment of Lord Dongan. He was outlawed under the Articles of Limerick and in 1691 he joined in the Flight of the Wild Geese to France, serving briefly in the French Royal Army. While in France he had a disagreement with Brigadier Maxwell and decided to return to Ireland.
In 1694, Bellew succeeded his older brother, Walter, as Baron Bellew of Duleek and began attempting to have his outlawry reversed. With support from influential figures, including the Duke of Shrewsbury, Bellew was granted a pardon by William III of England on 18 March 1697. On 24 June 1698, Bellew was given leave to remain in England, but it took a further year before he regained his estates. The costs of obtaining his own and his father's posthumous pardon, the incumbrances on the estate, and the many claims outstanding against both himself and his father, left him heavily in debt.
In 1705, Bellew became a Protestant by conforming to the established Church of England and he was summoned to attend the Irish House of Lords in 1707. In January 1709, he contested a by-election for the Steyning constituency in the House of Commons of Great Britain on the interest of his brother-in-law, Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond. A double return was made, and on 15 February 1709, the House decided that Bellew's opponent had won the seat. He contested the seat for a second time at a by-election in February 1712 and was successful, but was unseated in May 1712 after an investigation found evidence of bribery and the election was declared void. At this stage, he was identified as a high Tory, but by 1714 was considered a Whig in the Irish parliament. On 13 October 1713, he was awarded a pension of £300 per year by Anne, Queen of Great Britain. He died in 1715 and was buried at St. Mary's Abbey, Duleek.
In July 1695, he married Lady Frances Brudenell, daughter of Francis Brudenell, Lord Brudenell and the widow of Charles Livingston, 2nd Earl of Newburgh. Upon Bellew's death, his title was inherited by his son, John. Bellew's daughter, Dorothea, married Gustavus Hamilton.

# Felix Swinstead

Felix Gerald Swinstead (25 June 1880 – 14 August 1959) was an English pianist and composer. He wrote around 200 piano pieces, mostly for educational use by young children.
Swinstead was born in Stoke Newington, London and studied piano at the Royal Academy of Music with Tobias Matthay and composition with Frederick Corder. After many recitals in London, the UK and abroad during the 1900s Swinstead was appointed professor at the academy in 1910, becoming a Fellow in 1919. He remained there for the rest of his life. Swinstead also travelled widely as an examiner, to Canada, South Africa and the West Indies, touring Australia and New Zealand in 1938. He wrote a book on piano playing, Technique with a Purpose (1934).
During the Second World War he acted as organist at St Matthew's Church in Bayswater. While there he composed a Te Deum for the church choir, which was published in 1941. His arrangement for piano in various musical styles of the nursery rhyme Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be? was often used as a lighter, humorous element in his recitals. There is a modern recording by the American pianist Michael Stairs.
Swinstead married Evelyn Dawkin (also a pianist) and there were three children, two boys and a girl. Their address from the 1930s until the 1950s was 132 King's Henry Road, London NW3. His wife died in 1954. Swinstead died in 1959 at Southwold in Suffolk, aged 79.

# 1999–2001 Liechtenstein financial crisis

The 1999–2001 Liechtenstein financial crisis was instigated by the German Federal Intelligence Service in 1999 by accusing various banks, politicians and judges within Liechtenstein of cooperating with organized crime to promote money laundering. The crisis led to Liechtenstein being blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force in 2000. The nation responded with a series of financial reforms, leading to the lifting of the blacklist the following year.

## Crisis

On 8 November 1999, German newspaper Der Spiegel published a report by the Federal Intelligence Service that accused various banks, politicians, and judges within Liechtenstein of cooperating with organized criminal organizations, such as the Russian mafia and drug cartels, to promote money laundering. The same day, Prime Minister of Liechtenstein Mario Frick held a press conference and criticized the report as "dubious and unfair". In June 2000, Liechtenstein was blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force.
The Liechtenstein government commissioned Kurt Spitzer to investigate the allegations. He refuted them by arguing that the level of financial crime within Liechtenstein was on the same median as the rest of Europe, and that most of the money laundered within the country had previously been laundered elsewhere. Despite this, Spitzer's report highlighted organizational deficiencies, particularly in the provision of legal assistance.
As a result of the crisis, Liechtenstein reformed its financial sector. In 2000 a legal assistance law was passed and the criminal law and due diligence laws were revised. Previously, trustees and lawyers could open accounts in Liechtenstein banks with the holder remaining anonymous. In addition, the courts of Liechtenstein, the financial police and financial market supervision were expanded, many of whom specialized in combating organized crime. On 23 June 2001, the Financial Action Task Force removed Liechtenstein from the blacklist.
In 2000, Gabriel Marxer, a member of the Landtag of Liechtenstein, had his parliamentary immunity revoked and was subsequently arrested due to the scandal. However, he was acquitted in 2002.

## Aftermath

The crisis greatly damaged the Liechtenstein economy, and caused a stock market slump within the country. The number of companies based in Liechtenstein fell from 84,000 in 2000 to 80,000 in 2002, representing a loss of an estimated 16 billion CHF. Liechtenstein adopted the European Union's third iteration of the anti-money laundering directive (AMLD III) in 2005. However, the country again came under pressure in the 2008 Liechtenstein tax affair, which forced further reforms to the financial sector and the expansion of tax treaties with individual countries.
