Alexander James "Alex" Thomson (born 22 December 1960) is a British television journalist and newscaster.
Education
Thomson was educated at the state comprehensive Cranbourne Secondary School, which has since been renamed Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College, in Basingstoke, Hampshire, followed by University College, Oxford. After graduating from Oxford, Thomson gained a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism from Cardiff University.
Life and career
Thomson has worked for the BBC in Northern Ireland. In 1997 he won the Home News Award at the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards for his reporting on Bloody Sunday. His current role is as television presenter and chief correspondent for Channel 4 News, produced by ITN. He has covered fifteen wars as well as other major international conflicts.
In June 2012, Alex Thomson's vehicle, in which he and his Channel 4 News colleagues were travelling while covering the Syrian uprising, came under fire with his team his and was forced to take evasive action. According to Thomson, this was the result of a small group from the Free Syrian Army that actively and intentionally attempted to have the team killed on no-man's land by the government forces as a propagandistic stunt against Damascus.
Alex Thomson was helped early in his sailing career by Sir Keith Mills, the British businessman who ran London's victorious bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games and set up with British America’s Cup campaign TEAMORIGIN. With Mills backing, Thomson broke into the professional solo sailing circuit at a young age.
He is the youngest skipper ever to win a round-the-world yacht race (1998-1999 Clipper Race).
He is an around the world solo sailor, and holds the 24-hour world speed sailing record for solo mono-hulls (468 nautical miles at an average speed of 19.5 knots).
Sponsored by Hugo Boss he took part in the Vendee Globe 2004/05 but was forced to retire after damage to the carbon fitting that attached the boom to the deck.
Solo round the world yachtsman Alex Thomson performs a daring feat on board his high-speed yacht, HUGO BOSS. Thomson climbs up the 30-metre high mast of the moving vessel and dives into the ocean.
This is not the first stunt we've seen from Thomson. Two years ago he completed The Keel Walk, a stunt which has become famous across the world. Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PQfJ2SAg4

Alien 3 (1992) is An Interesting Failure | Revisited Review | David Fincher | Epictastic Joshua
After the success of the first two great masterpieces, six years later, we got another entry into the Alien franchise. Unfortunately, this is not the third film that we were all so promised. With a well known troubled production of studio interference and a first time director of David Fincher, it's no secret that Alien 3 is regarded by many as the worst of the series mostly.
But in this Revisited Review, Joshua Drake of Epictastic Joshua gives you his take on Alien 3 (which he used to defend) and explains why he doesn't love or hate the film but rather finds its a frustrating but interesting failure of a movie.

Update – Emergency Situation
Alex Thomson and Guillermo Altadill, skippers of yacht HUGO BOSS in the Transat Jacques Vabre set off their emergency beacon this afternoon at 13.25UT. The Spanish Coastguard was informed and sent a rescue helicopter to their location 82 nautical miles from the Spanish coast. Both Alex and Guillermo were rescued from the location by helicopter and are on their way back to land.
HUGO BOSS incurred some structural damage earlier this week forcing Alex and Guillermo to stop racing. The Skippers had made a repair and were on route to A Coruna where the technical team were waiting to meet them. After sailing for a period of 36 hours in high seas and strong winds, the structure of the boat deteriorated further and the boat started to take on water and sink. The technical team are in A Coruna, Spain awaiting further information from the coast guard.
Managing Director Stewart Hosford expresses ‘Our first concern is with Alex and Guillermo and when they are safely on the ground we will address the situation with our IMOCA 60 and begin the salvage process. We are grateful for the swift response from the rescue services in this situation.

Update – Emergency Situation
Alex Thomson and Guillermo Altadill, skippers of yacht HUGO BOSS in the Transat Jacques Vabre set off their emergency beacon this afternoon at 13.25UT. The Spanish Coastguard was informed and sent a rescue helicopter to their location 82 nautical miles from the Spanish coast. Both Alex and Guillermo were rescued from the location by helicopter and are on their way back to land.
HUGO BOSS incurred some structural damage earlier this week forcing Alex and Guillermo to stop racing. The Skippers had made a repair and were on route to A Coruna where the technical team were waiting to meet them. After sailing for a period of 36 hours in high seas and strong winds, the structure of the boat deteriorated further and the boat started to take on water and sink. The technical team are in A Coruna, Spain awaiting further information from the coast guard.
Managing Director Stewart Hosford expresses ‘Our first concern is with Alex and Guillermo and when they are safely on the ground we will address the situation with our IMOCA 60 and begin the salvage process. We are grateful for the swift response from the rescue services in this situation.
