Media requires JavaScript to play. Gunmen have fired on a bus carrying Togo's football team to the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, wounding players and reportedly killing the driver. The attackers machine-gunned the vehicle after it crossed from the Republic of Congo into Angola's oil-rich territory of Cabinda. Rebels who have been fighting for the region's independence later said they had carried out the attack. The organisers of the tournament, which starts on Sunday, say it will go ahead. The Angolan government called the incident an \"act of terrorism\". The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (Flec), which said it carried out the attack, has fought for independence for several decades, but entered a ceasefire in 2006. In a statement quoted by Portugal's Lusa news agency, the group said: \"This operation is only the start of a series of targeted actions that will continue in all the territory of Cabinda.\" Togo is due to play its first cup game in Cabinda on Monday. The Confederation of African Football confirmed that the tournament would go ahead as planned, despite the violent attack. Angolan Sports Minister Goncalves Muandumba said security for the competition would be stepped up to guarantee \"all the conditions necessary for the success, tranquillity and security of the people and their belongings\". 'Under shock' Nine people, including at least two players, were wounded during the shooting, reports said. Central defender Serge Akakpo was among those hurt and back-up goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale was also reportedly injured. Romanian side FC Vaslui confirmed that Mr Akakpo, who joined the club from French side Auxerre last year, was shot and badly injured in the attack. The 22-year-old was out of danger after being struck by two bullets and being treated by doctors, the club said. The team's communications manager was among those seriously wounded in the shooting. Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor was also on the bus but is unhurt. Speaking to the BBC, he described the incident as \"one of the worst experiences of his life\". \"I'm still under shock,\" Mr Adebayor said. \"I was one of those who carried the injured players into the hospital - that is when I realised what was really going on. All the players, everyone was crying, calling their mums, crying on the phone, saying their last words because they thought they'd be dead.\" The bus was travelling to Cabinda from the squad's training ground in the Republic of Congo when the shooting happened. \"This was an act of terrorism,\" Cabinda affairs minister Bento Bembe told Reuters news agency. Football's highest governing body, Fifa, said it was troubled by the incident. \"Fifa and its president, Joseph S Blatter, are deeply moved by today's incidents which affected Togo's national team, to whom they express their utmost sympathy,\" the body said in a statement. Competition officials said they had not known that the Togolose team had decided to drive directly to Cabinda. They said they had expected the squad first to fly to the Angolan capital, Luanda, and from there to Cabinda. Shot 'like dogs' The head of the Togolese football federation told AFP news agency that the driver had died. Togo striker Thomas Dossevi told France's RMC radio that several players were \"in a bad state\" after the attack. CABINDA Oil-rich province cut off from the rest of Angola by DR Congo Flec rebels fought for region's independence Rebels laid down arms in 2006 but some unrest continues Angola had dismissed concerns about staging games there\nTogo footballers tell of attack \"We were machine-gunned, like dogs,\" he said. \"At the border with Angola - machine-gunned! I don't know why. I thought it was some rebels. We were under the seats of the bus for 20 minutes, trying to get away from the bullets.\" The identities of those injured - who also included team staff - have not yet been confirmed. Togo's first game in the tournament is due to be against Ghana on Monday. But midfielder Alaixys Romao told RMC the team was likely to pull out of the 16-nation cup. \"No-one wants to play,\" he said. \"We're not capable of it. \"We're thinking first of all about the health of our injured because there was a lot of blood on the ground.\"\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Next Generation Trophy: Jungbullen nach Finaltriumph über Bayern Rekordsieger", "text": "Ein kleiner Vergleich sei angebracht: FC Red Bull Salzburg hatte erst im Jänner Bayern München in der ausverkauften Red Bull Arena mit 3:0 in die Schranken gewiesen – auch wenn es nur ein Test war. Es war aber auch ein Vorgeschmack, welche Art von Fußball in Salzburg nun gepflegt wird. Und dass man damit sehr erfolgreich sein kein, war ja schon beim Treffen mit den Münchnern zu Jahresbeginn zu erkennen.\nInternationale Top-Nachwuchsteams in Salzburg\nSamstag standen sich bei der sechsten Next Generation Trophy, dem international weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannten U16-Turnier, die zwei besten U16-Nachwuchsteams aus Österreich und Deutschland erneut gegenüber. Wiederum wirkten die Hausherren, als hätten sie die bessere Taktik aus der Schublade geholt. Die Bayern versuchten im gesamten Spielaufbau spielerische Lösungen zu finden. So weit, so gut. Doch das spielte der Rose-Truppe perfekt in die Karten. Immer wieder konnten Bälle in der bayerischen Vorwärtsbewegung abgefangen werden. Randy Montie, Salzburg-Torschütze vom Dienst mit Kamerun-Wurzeln und seit einem Jahr in der Mozartstadt, kam in Minute fünf gleich zum ersten Mal gefährlich vors gegnerische Tor.\nDie Bayern reagierten, stellten auf Konter um. Eine Attacke an Stürmer Wintzheimer hätte zu einem Elfmeter führen können, auch die nächsten zwei Chancen verbuchten die Gäste. Doch Salzburg-Keeper Schragl bewies, warum er ein starker Rückhalt des Teams ist. Es entwickelte sich ein offener Schlagabtausch, in dem nun auch die Jungbullen tollen Kombinationsfußball boten.\n1:0 für Salzburg nach Foul-Elfmeter\nUnmittelbar vor dem Pausenpfiff, in einer neuerlichen Drangperiode der Salzburger, kam es zur Schlüsselszene der Partie: Wolf nahm sich eine weite Clement-Flanke über die Bayern-Abwehr perfekt mit, und der Bayern-Goalie kann nur noch die Notbremse ziehen. Rot für ihn – Elfer für Salzburg. Und Randy Montie netzte mit seinem fünften Turniertreffer zur Führung unmittelbar vor der Pause ein. Da spendete auch die Zuseher-Prominenz um Salzburg- und Leipzig-Sportdirektor Ralf Rangnick, ÖFB-Sportdirektor Willi Ruttensteiner, Jugend-Nationalteamtrainer Hermann Stadler sowie unzählige internationale Scouts kräftigen Applaus. Die Bayern gingen nun aggressiver in die Zweikämpfe, setzten alles auf eine Karte. Die Salzburg-Boys blieben aber abgebrüht, strahlten über Konter weiterhin große Gefahr aus. Als Randy Montie, das Spielfeld drei Minuten vor dem Ende verließ, schien alles entschieden zu sein. Salzburg kam zwar noch zu Chancen, wie etwa durch einen Meisl-Kopfball, aber auch das 1:0 reichte zum Sieg! Bei den Salzburgern kannte der Jubel bei der anschließenden Siegerehrung natürlich keine Grenzen. Aus dem unglaublich starken Salzburger-Kollektiv hervorzuheben ist Randy Montie, der im Finale Nervenstärke bewies und den Elfmeter trocken verwandelte. So gab es für Trainer Marco Rose und seine Jungs einige Gründe für eine ausgelassene Feier. Und die Jungbullen dürfen sich nun Rekordbullen nennen. Sie sind in der sechsjährigen Geschichte das erste Team, das sich den Titel zum zweiten Mal geschnappt hat.\nPlatz drei an Red Bull New York\nPlatz drei ging an Red Bull New York. Die US-Kicker besiegten in einer extrem engen Partie die sicherlich nicht unterlegenen Rasenballer aus Leipzig hauchdünn mit 1:0.", "url": "http://www.salzburg24.at/next-generation-trophy-jungbullen-nach-finaltriumph-ueber-bayern-rekordsieger/4056332", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160306214353/http://www.salzburg24.at/next-generation-trophy-jungbullen-nach-finaltriumph-ueber-bayern-rekordsieger/4056332" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Next Generation Trophy 2014", "text": "Next Generation Trophy 2014\n© Sportreport\nZum sechsten Mal veranstaltet die Nachwuchsakademie des FC Red Bull Salzburg die „Next Generation Trophy“, ein Turnier mit U16-Teams namhafter internationaler Klubs.\nEin internationales U16-Turnier der Extraklasse!\nVon 14. bis 16. August 2014 (Eröffnung am Donnerstag um 11:00 Uhr) treffen in der brandneuen Nachwuchsakademie Liefering zwölf Teams aus acht Nationen und drei Kontinenten aufeinander.\nTitelverteidiger FC Basel\nDas Los der Titelverteidigung ist bei der Next Generation Trophy kein leichtes. Bislang ist es noch keiner Mannschaft gelungen, den Titel erfolgreich zu verteidigen, was auf ein hochklassiges und ausgeglichenes internationales Niveau schließen lässt. Der FC Basel wird als fünfte Mannschaft sein Glück versuchen, um die begehrte internationale Trophäe erneut mit nach Hause zu nehmen. Die Eidgenossen haben im letzten Jahr Nervenstärke bewiesen. In fünf Partien erhielten die Basler kein Gegentor und erzielten ein Tor in der regulären Spielzeit, sind aber aufgrund einer starken Performance im Elfmeterschießen immer aufgestiegen und konnten sich schlussendlich den Turniersieg sichern.\nInternationale Gäste\nDer positive Ruf der Next Generation Trophy hat sich im europäischen Fußball bereits verbreitet und das Turnier entwickelte sich zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil des Turnierkalenders vieler Mannschaften. Neben den bereits traditionellen Teilnehmern – FC Basel, Bayern München, Manchester City F.C. sowie den Red Bull Akademie-Mannschaften aus Leipzig, Brasilien und New York – sind einige weitere hochkarätige Teams vertreten. So zählen heuer internationale Kaliber wie der Liverpool F.C., Espanyol de Barcelona und Borussia Dortmund zum Starterfeld. Neben dem Veranstalter FC Red Bull Salzburg ist mit der Wiener Austria eine weitere österreichische Top-Nachwuchsmannschaft dabei. Last, but not least die West African Football Academy, die seit Kurzem eine intensive technische und inhaltliche Kooperation mit Red Bull verbindet.\nNext Generation Trophy als Sprungbrett\nViele Talente, die in den letzten Jahren bei der Next Generation Trophy im Einsatz waren, haben bereits den Sprung in diverse Profimannschaften geschafft. Beispielsweise spielt Youri mittlerweile in der Kampfmannschaft des RSC Anderlecht, oder auch Niclas Füllkrug, der über den SV Werder Bremen nun beim 1. FC Nürnberg zum Einsatz kommt. Aber auch aus der Akademie des FC Red Bull Salzburg haben es einige Akteure in die heimische Bundesliga geschafft. Valentino Lazaro (Gewinner 2011 und „Spieler des Turniers“) gilt beim FC Red Bull Salzburg als Paradebeispiel. Mit seinen jungen 18 Jahren konnte er mit den Meisterschafts- und Cuperfolgen (2012, 2014) bereits zweimal das Double gewinnen und feierte vor Kurzem auch sein Debüt in der österreichischen Nationalmannschaft. Mit 16 Jahren, 7 Monaten und 10 Tagen war Valentino Lazaro zudem der jüngste jemals eingesetzte Spieler der Roten Bullen in der Bundesliga.\nFür den Sportlichen Nachwuchsleiter Thomas Letsch hat dieses Turnier auch dadurch einen hohen Stellenwert: „Für die weitere Entwicklung unserer jungen Talente ist gerade der Vergleich mit internationalen Topteams von größter Bedeutung. Die Next Generation Trophy 2014 bietet hierzu eine perfekte Gelegenheit, und ich freue mich, auch in diesem Jahr wieder ein hochkarätiges Teilnehmerfeld mit zwölf Teams aus acht Nationen in unserer neuen Nachwuchsakademie begrüßen zu dürfen. Ich wünsche uns allen drei Tage gute Unterhaltung mit Nachwuchsfußball auf höchstem Niveau.“\nFC Red Bull Salzburg AKA U16-Trainer Marco Rose: „Wie jedes Jahr um diese Zeit haben wir eine neue U16-Mannschaft. Auch in dieser frühen Phase der Saison möchten wir uns bei unserem Heimturnier so gut wie möglich verkaufen. Unser Ziel muss es ganz klar sein, den Fußball, für den der FC Red Bull Salzburg steht, auf den Platz zu bekommen. Für meine Spieler ist es neben der nationalen Herausforderung immer etwas Besonders, sich mit internationalen Top-Mannschaften zu messen. Wir freuen uns, die Next Generation Trophy erstmals in unserer neuen und außergewöhnlichen Akademie spielen zu können. “\nDie Teilnehmer\nGruppe A:\nFC Red Bull Salzburg\nFC Basel\nWest African Football Academy\nGruppe B:\nRed Bull Brasil\nFC Bayern München\nLiverpool F.C.\nGruppe C:\nRB Leipzig\nFK Austria Wien\nRCD Espanyol de Barcelona\nGruppe D:\nRed Bull New York\nManchester City F.C.\nBorussia Dortmund\nBisherige Sieger der Next Generation Trophy:\n2009 Dinamo Zagreb\n2010 Werder Bremen\n2011 FC Red Bull Salzburg\n2012 Athletic Club de Bilbao\n2013 FC Basel\nPresseinfo: Red Bull Salzburg", "url": "http://sportreport.biz/2014/08/11/next-generation-trophy-2014/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200923091304/http://sportreport.biz/2014/08/11/next-generation-trophy-2014/" } ]

Striking mobile telephone and television masts, Israel also kept up its devastating air blitz on Lebanon that has killed at least 350 people and displaced over half-a-million in 11 days of military action on the country. General Beni Gantz said Israeli air and ground forces \"have more or less completed taking over the village of Marun Al-Ras,\" close to the Israeli border and strategically located 911 meters (3,000 feet) above sea level. Gantz said Hezbollah forces sustained \"many casualties after fierce fighting that lasted a long time.\" But Lebanese security forces said that Israeli and Hezbollah forces were engaged in street battles in the village, where four Israeli soldiers and several Hezbollah militiamen were killed in battles in recent days. Britain's junior foreign minister openly criticised the Israeli military offensive as \"difficult to understand\", as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was to visit the region after once again rejecting the idea of a ceasefire. \"The whole thing has to stop. It's no natural disaster but a man-made crisis. This is a senseless war. It should never have started. It should never have been carried out like it is now,\" UN relief coordinator Jan Egeland said in Cyprus before heading to Lebanon. But the White House said Saturday it was keeping to its policy on backing Israel's right to self-defense. \"We are keeping to our adopted position. Israel has the right to defend herself,\" a White House spokesman told AFP in response to the incursion. Earlier, around 10 armoured Israeli personnel carriers and bulldozers punched across the border at Avivim, around 35 kilometres (23 miles) from the coast, bypassing an observation post of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon. The army said the incursion was a \"pinpoint operation\" and insisted it has no plans for a full-scale invasion despite consistently refusing to rule the option out. Israel urged the remaining people living in south Lebanon to leave and also called up thousands of reservists as it massed troops along its northern border. Meanwhile, one employee of the LBCI television station was killed and another wounded in an Israeli air strike on TV transmission towers and mobile telephone masts at Fatqa, in the Kesrwan mountains northeast of Beirut. Transmission towers for Hezbollah's Al-Manar and the privately run New TV, as well as mobile phone networks, were also destroyed in Terbol in northern Lebanon. Mobile telephone networks were down in the north of Lebanon after the strikes while local television transmission for LBCI was cut in the north and in the Kesrwan mountains, although people could still view the channel on satellite. \"The Israelis are looking to destroy sound and image in Lebanon -- the last weapons this country has -- after bombarding infrastructure,\" said Minister for Telecommunications Marwan Hamadeh. Five civilians were killed and scores were wounded on Saturday in Israeli raids on various locations in Lebanon. The worst cross-border fighting in a quarter century has also killed 33 Israelis. Four civilians were wounded early Sunday in an Israeli strike on a building housing a Hezbollah religious centre in the centre of Sidon, the first attack in the heart of the southern city since the start of the offensive. As tit-for-tat strikes continued, Hezbollah militants kept up a defiant stream of rockets onto northern Israel, with police there saying 80 Katyusha rockets landed on Saturday, lightly wounding two people in Carmiel. Britain's junior foreign office minister Kim Howells made London's most unequivocal criticism yet of Israel's military offensive, in stark contrast to the line taken by Washington and his own prime minister. \"These are not surgical strikes. It's very difficult to understand the kind of military tactics that are being used,\" Howells told journalists during a visit to Beirut. \"If they are chasing Hezbollah, then go for Hezbollah. You don't go for the entire Lebanese nation.\" \"I very much hope that the Americans understand what's happening to Lebanon -- the destruction of the infrastructure, the death of so many children and so many people,\" he said. Egeland was due to arrive in Beirut from Cyprus on Sunday, saying he would be \"urging and begging\" for some 100 million dollars in aid to help a nation already in the throes of a major humanitarian crisis. Israel said it opened a 50-mile-long and five-mile-wide (80 by eight kilometres) safe passage to the Beirut port for ships and aircraft, a humanitarian corridor to allow aid to the Lebanese. Israel's air and sea blockade put Lebanon's only international airport out of action, and the bombing of houses, roads, bridges, factories, warehouses and trucks created scenes reminiscent of the 1975-1990 civil war. But US President George W. Bush maintained his backing for Israel's campaign against Hezbollah as Rice prepared travel to the region on Sunday in search of what she described as a long-term solution. \"I believe sovereign nations have the right to defend their people from terrorist attack, and to take the necessary action to prevent those attacks,\" Bush said in his weekly radio address. Underlining the repercussions of the Lebanon conflict on the whole region, he said Syria was \"a primary sponsor\" of Hezbollah and has given the Shiite militia Iranian-made weapons. Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mukdad said Syria is ready to open a \"dialogue\" with the United States to resolve the crisis in Lebanon. Meanwhile thousands of people around the world bashed drums, brandished placards and chanted slogans to demand an end to Israel's offensive in Lebanon, the biggest rally taking place in London. Foreign governments continued to evacuate their citizens, with Britain urging all remaining nationals wanting to leave to gather for the last evacuation ship that left Saturday. The United States is expediting an arms shipment of precision bombs to Israel from an arms deal struck last year amid the Jewish state's ongoing assault, a US official said Saturday. US marines were in Beirut for the first time in 22 years to help move a total of 10,000 American nationals to Cyprus, the main staging point for the massive evacuation. The island is battling to find temporary accommodation and flights for the estimated 70,000 evacuees at the height of its holiday season. Israel is continuing its offensive on the Gaza Strip, where at least 106 people have been killed in two weeks. It aims to retrieve a soldier snatched by Palestinian militants and to stop rocket fire.-AFP Tweet Advertisement\nYour feedback is important to us!\nWe invite all our readers to share with us their views and comments about this article.\nDisclaimer: Comments submitted by third parties on this site are the sole responsibility of the individual(s) whose content is submitted.

Egeland, who was in Cyprus on his way to visit Lebanon to launch an emergency aid appeal, also criticised Israel's blistering response to attacks by the Hezbollah militant group as \"disproportionate\". \"We can't get relief into the country in any quantity or distribute it beyond a few points. This is already a very major crisis with more than half a million directly affected,\" he told reporters. \"This number will grow dramatically as the population of south Lebanon has been asked to leave,\" by the Israeli army. He said the United Nations would be concentrating on setting up humanitarian corridors in the next few days and wanted to use the Cyprus-Beirut shipping route to bring in aid. But he said he also wanted to send aid in by road and by air using Beirut's international airport, which has been shut since the start of the offensive after a succession of Israeli raids. \"We are particularly worried about the civilian population in the south so gravely caught in the crossfire,\" he added. Egeland, who was to be flown to Beirut early Sunday aboard a British military helicopter, said he would be launching an international appeal on Monday \"urging and begging\" for over 100 million dollars. He also echoed criticism from other UN officials over the Israeli military response, which has already killed over 350 people in Lebanon. The Israeli military response has been \"disproportionate, when to my thinking one third of the wounded and killed are women and children, then it clearly goes far beyond responding to armed groups\", he said.- AFP Tweet Advertisement\nYour feedback is important to us!\nWe invite all our readers to share with us their views and comments about this article.\nDisclaimer: Comments submitted by third parties on this site are the sole responsibility of the individual(s) whose content is submitted.

El primer ministro conservador se convertirá en el más duradero de la historia japonesa y contará con una súper mayoría absoluta en la Cámara Baja que le permitirá abrir el camino para una reforma de la Constitución pacifista. Así lo dan por seguro los medios nipones y sus encuestas a pie de urna tras las elecciones legislativas anticipadas celebradas este domingo.\nNo ha habido sorpresas. Como se esperaba, Abe, que convocó los comicios el mes pasado —más de un año antes de lo previsto— para aprovechar las divisiones en la oposición, ha superado con facilidad el desafío que presentaban sus rivales. Según la encuesta a pie de urna de la televisión TBS, el Partido Liberal Demócrata (PLD) del primer ministro y su aliado Nuevo Komeito logran 311 escaños, del total de 465 con que cuenta la Cámara Baja.\nEn cambio, el Partido de la Esperanza (Kibo no To), que al comienzo de la campaña electoral parecía que podría representar una alternativa seria al dominio del PLD, ha confirmado el desencanto que los votantes mostraban en las encuestas previas a la jornada electoral: únicamente conseguirá 50 escaños. En el campo progresista, el Partido Constitucional Demócrata lograba unos resultados mejores de lo esperado, aunque aún a mucha distancia de la formación en el Gobierno.\nLa participación se vio perjudicada por el fuerte temporal que este domingo azotó Japón.

Algunas apuntan a una victoria que le aseguraría la mayoría de dos tercios que requiere para poder acometer la reforma constitucional que busca desde hace años.\nLas consultas de diarios como 'Mainichi' o 'Sankei' indican que la alianza del Partido Liberal Democrático (PLD) que lidera Abe y su aliado Komeito superará sin problemas el margen de 310 escaños de los 465 que componen el Congreso, aunque 'Nikkei' indicaba lo contrario.\nEl jefe del ejecutivo cerró su campaña con varios discursos centrados en Corea del Norte, el mismo elemento que ha utilizado de forma repetida como eje de sus alocuciones y que semeja haber surtido un notable efecto a la hora de recuperar la confianza de los votantes.\n\"No podemos ceder ante la amenaza de Corea del Norte. Nos hace falta una diplomacia fuerte\", señaló en una de esas intervenciones.\nComo explicaba 'Nikkei' y el diario 'The Asahi Shimbun', los miembros del PLD están tan confiados en un triunfo arrollador que ya han preparado una propuesta de remodelación de la Carta Magna y en especial del sensible artículo 9, que podrían presentar a la cámara en los próximos meses.\n'The Asahi Shimbun' asegura que Abe pretende que el elemento \"pacifista\" que conlleva la renuncia a la guerra que contempla el artículo 9 sea contrarrestado con la inclusión en el texto constitucional de una definición clara de la existencia de las llamadas Fuerzas de Auto-Defensa (SDF), el ejército japonés.\nEl citado artículo estipula que Japón no puede \"mantener fuerzas armadas terrestres, marítimas o aéreas, y otro potencial bélico\" y esa terminología ha llevado a que políticos izquierdistas hayan calificado a las SDF como \"inconstitucionales\".\n\"El objetivo de Abe es que una constitución revisada entre en ejercicio en 2020\", apuntó 'Nikkei'.\nDesde que expresó su deseo de revisar el texto constitucional en 2007 -durante su primer mandato como jefe del gabinete-, Abe no ha escondido su determinación por eliminar las restricciones del artículo 9 y permitir una interpretación flexible sobre el cometido del SDF. El primer ministro cuenta con el apoyo decidido de lobbies tan influyentes como Nippon Kaigi, una agrupación ultra nacionalista que no cesa de promover la necesidad de enterrar la constitución de 1947, impuesta por EEUU.\nIncluso si se consuma su victoria, la revisión constitucional requeriría una compleja negociación ya que no es totalmente seguro el apoyo de Komeito.\nAdemás, cualquier iniciativa parlamentaria tendría que ser secundada por el electorado en un referéndum y todos los sondeos indican que la población japonesa se opone a disociarse del \"pacifismo\" que ha dominado la política del país desde la última contienda mundial.\nAbe también quiere que la reforma constitucional permita introducir la educación gratuita, un empeño en el que tendría menos dificultades a la hora de recabar sostén de otros grupos políticos.\nPese a las obvias reticencias de la población japonesa frente al ideario del primer ministro, lo cierto es que con la oposición sumida en el más absoluto caos, dividida entre un Partido Democrático (PD) al borde de la disolución, y nuevas formaciones como el Partido de la Esperanza de la gobernadora Yuriko Koike, y el Partido Constitucional Democrático creado por una facción escindida del PD, el electorado parece haber optado por la estabilidad que personifica Abe.\nEl colapso acelerado de la formación establecida por Koike es tal que tras presentarse hace sólo semanas como una posible alternativa a Abe ahora ni siquiera puede asegurar su victoria en la capital, el mismo escenario en el que aplastó al PLD en los sufragios locales de julio.\n\"La fragmentación de la oposición en la mayoría de los distritos electorales ha sido un salvavidas para los candidatos del PLD, incluso para aquellos dentro del partido que pensaban que iban a pasar un momento difícil en las urnas\", estimó el diario Manichi en un análisis de las encuestas.\nSi la votación confirma este vaticinio, Abe también reforzaría sus opciones para ser refrendado como máximo dirigente del PLD durante la convención de esa formación que se celebrará en septiembre de 2018, lo que le podría convertir en el primer ministro que más tiempo ha permanecido en su puesto desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.", "url": "http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2017/10/22/59eb73a146163ffe4f8b4648.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20171022054536/http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2017/10/22/59eb73a146163ffe4f8b4648.html" } ]

El pase de Alemán a Blanco fue a espaldas de los defensores azules, que hoy alinearon con José Luis Quiñónez y Jorge Guagua; Gabriel Achilier fue reservado para el compromiso de la Copa.\nEmelec tuvo chances de anotar a los 5m. Un tiro de esquina ejecutado por Miler Bolaños lo pescó Guagua y su potente disparo fue detenido por Damián Lanza.\nA los 32m, Miler llegó hasta el borde del área y luego sacó un remate cruzado que pasó muy cerca del poste izquierdo de Lanza.\nLa ausencia de Ángel Mena, quien no fue convocado para el Clásico, pesó mucho en el juego ofensivo del Bombillo. Por el sector derecho, el juvenil Villamar no generó peligro durante los 45 minutos que estuvo en el campo. En el segundo tiempo el DT azul, Omar De Felippe, dio paso a Fernando Gaibor, quien tuvo una opción manifiesta de gol enviando un disparo muy arriba.\nEn la etapa de complemento el control del esférico y de las acciones lo tuvo Emelec, pero sobre el final el bloque defensivo no pudo contener una incursión del uruguayo Alemán. Los canarios apelaron al contragolpe y a los 85m acertaron.\nAlemán ingresó al área, superó sin problemas la marca de Bagüí y luego dejó en el camino a José Luis Quiñónez para definir hacia el poste izquierdo de Dreer.\nEn Barcelona la principal novedad fue la continuidad del arquero Damián Lanza, y la inclusión de Flavio Caicedo, a los 73m.\nAntes de finalizar el Clásico, el torero Pedro Velasco vio la tarjeta roja luego de un encontronazo con Emanuel Herrera, quien se quejó de un golpe en el rostro.\nTras el 2-0, los millonarios darán vuelta a la página para enfocarse en el choque frente a Atlético Nacional, rival colombiano contra el que deben definir la serie de los octavos de final.\nA Medellín, Emelec llegará con una ventaja de 2-0 obtenida el pasado jueves en Manta.\nFORMACIONES:\nBarcelona: Lanza; Valencia, Perlaza, Checa, Velasco; Frezzotti (F.

El portero del cuadro lojano, Robinson Sánchez, dio un rebote en el primer cabezazo de Angulo quien luego remató al fondo de las redes.\nEn la segunda parte, los cambios realizados por el técnico argentino, Julio César Toresani, no surtieron efecto en la escuadra lojana.\nIndependiente del Valle bajó las revoluciones ofensivas y se dedicó a rotar el balón en la cancha hasta el final del partido.\nCon este resultado el cuadro dirigido por Pablo Repetto escolta al líder, Liga de Quito, con similar puntaje 34 pero con 11 de gol diferencia, tres menos que los quiteños.

Although all evidence to date indicates that the virus does not spread easily from birds to humans, careful monitoring of the situation is warranted. Experience in several other countries has shown how quickly the H5N1 virus can spread and become firmly established in poultry. The ability of this virus to cause rare but severe disease in humans is well documented. At present, the only confirmed H5N1 outbreak is thought to be confined to a large commercial farm, located in Kaduna State in the northern part of the country, where thousands of chickens were kept in battery cages. Investigations are urgently needed to determine whether the outbreak, which began almost a month ago, has spread from the farm to affect household flocks. Poultry deaths in the adjacent province of Kano have been reported, but the cause has not yet been determined. The most immediate public health need is to reduce opportunities for human infections to occur. Investigations of human cases in Asia and elsewhere have identified close contact with diseased or dead household poultry as the most important source of human exposure to the virus. In Nigeria, as in other parts of Africa, most village households maintain free-ranging flocks of poultry as a source of income and food. Close human contact with poultry is extensive. If the virus has spread to household flocks in Nigeria, public information campaigns will be needed to warn populations to avoid high-risk behaviours, including the slaughtering, defeathering, butchering, and preparation for consumption of diseased poultry. WHO is ready to respond to requests from Nigeria for support, including assessment teams and the provision of essential supplies and equipment. Infectious disease staff at WHO’s regional office in Harare, Zimbabwe held an emergency meeting today to assess the situation, plan a response, and evaluate the possible risk to other African countries. A team of experts experienced in the investigation of outbreaks has been placed on standby. No clear information about the source of the Nigerian outbreak is presently available, but the country is known to lie along a flight route for birds migrating from central Asia. Full sequence information about the virus in the Nigerian outbreak is expected later this week. This information will allow comparison with viruses that have caused human cases elsewhere and thus assist in the assessment of risks to human health. Sequence information may also shed some light on the origins of the outbreak.", "url": "http://www.who.int/csr/don/2006_02_08/en/index.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060223120000/http://www.who.int/csr/don/2006_02_08/en/index.html" } ]

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Products Placed: How Companies Pay Artists to Include Brands in Lyrics", "text": "Yes, you read that right: things have gotten so weird in the music business that high-profile acts are inserting ads into their song lyrics. The next time you hear a brand mentioned in a song, it could be due to a paid product placement. And unlike magazines, songs are not required to point out which words are part of an advertisement.\n\"I'm writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album,\" begins the opening e-mail in the eventual salvo between the two.\nA e-mail from the Kluger Agency , which performs such product placements, mistakenly sent to Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency and Double Happiness Jeans, provides a rare glimpse into the secretive market for song lyric product placement.\nSongs that refer to products and brands have been with us for years, from Simon and Garfunkel singing \"Mama don't take my Kodachrome away\" to Janis Joplin's plea for a new car in \"Mercedes Benz\" and beyond. Conscious of the branding value such mentions can bring, some artists have gone so far as to approach companies with offers to include brand and product names in their song lyrics.\nIn the e-mail, Kluger (who has represented Mariah Carey, New Kids on the Blog, Ne-Yo, Fall Out Boy, Method Man, Lady GaGa and Ludacris) explained via e-mail that for the right price, Double Happiness Jeans could find its way into the lyrics in an upcoming Pussycat Dolls song. Crouse posted the e-mail on his blog at the Anti-Advertising Agency, an art project of sorts that's basically the philosophical mirror image of a traditional ad agency.\nThe thing is, Double Happiness Jeans is not your everyday brand -- it's a virtual sweatshop organized by EyeBeam for a display at the Sundance Festival, which involves paying Second Life citizens 90 cents an hour to make real, customized jeans designed in the virtual factory. Crouse and Steve Lambert, his partner at the Anti-Advertising Agency, are probably the last people on earth who Kluger would want to receive this e-mail. Both men spend a fair amount of their time questioning, undermining and criticizing the pervasiveness of materialism and advertising in our culture.\n\"It was hilarious,\" Lambert told us via telephone, \"that he wanted to put Jeff's fake Second Life sweatshop company in a pop song. It's this desperation that advertising has come to because you can't just tell people about your product anymore, because nobody cares. Advertisers have created this situation where they've made themselves obsolete. There's too much advertising out there, so they try to find new ways to cut through the clutter that they've created. And this is one of those ways.\"\nSoon after Crouse posted Kluger's e-mail and his own response on the blog, a commenter wrote, \"Either a spammer/con-artist is using the name... or (they are) really bad at marketing themselves.\" Kluger asked Lambert and Crouse via e-mail and telephone a number of times to remove the post and comment. \"Will you please remove the post on your blog? Now a new comment was made basically calling us 'morons,'\" he wrote in one of the requests. \"When I google the blog or my name, the tag line is 'spammer/con-artist' using the name Adam Kluger PR. Obviously, this is not good for business, and more importantly, I'm quite embarrassed.\"\nUPDATE: (A representative from Adam Kluger PR contacted wired.com to say that agency was not involved in this issue in any way).\nNever mind that it was he who first approached them via unsolicited e-mail by using a scraper program that identified them as potential clients for his product placement service. Or that the words he objected to were in readers' comments, not in the original post. Kluger doesn't like the comments and wants them removed from the internet.\nThe Anti-Advertising Agency declined and has already drawn some attention to the practice of selling space in lyrics to advertisers through its blog. \"Maybe Ludacris wants to rap about a luxury SUV, and is just looking for the right one,\" said Lambert. \"We'll never know (everything about) how it works, because that takes the mystique out of it, and the mystique is one of the things that they can sell.\" But thanks to this e-mail, we at least have proof that the phenomenon is real.\nFor his part, Kluger claims that product placement can be done in such a way that artistic integrity is not affected. \"We are just financially taking care of the people that should be taken care of,\" he told us via e-mail. \"If an artist like Sheryl Crow has the same target audience as XZY brand, we feel it's nothing but a strong and strategic way to pinpoint a market.\n\"Now, we don't want an artist to write a song specifically to promote a brand, we just feel that if it's a product that's admired by the artist and fits his/her image, we now have the capability of leveling out the playing field and making things financially beneficial for all parties involved. 'Brand-Dropping' is the term that the Kluger Agency coined to describe discreetly advertising by product mentioning in song, and we feel we can make this the way of the future without jeopardizing any artists creative outlet or typical style.\"\nWhether because the Anti-Advertising Agency exposed the practice of product placement in lyrics, because Kluger doesn't like being called a moron on the blog's comments section, or both, he says he's going to sue.\nIn an e-mail sent to Lambert, he wrote, \"$5500 is what it's going to cost me to have an attorney stick you with a $150,000 judgment for the next 20 years. We've consulted with two different firms. This was written with the intent to hurt our business and we will win, period... We will go after Steve Lambert, AntiAdvertisingAgency.com, and Budget Gallery (where Lambert sells his art). Since you are intentionally damaging our California-based agency, you will have the opportunity to defend yourself in the state of California. If you think I'm bluffing, that's fine with me.\"\nLambert remains unconvinced. \"I really don't think there's any way he can win,\" he told us.\"I have every right to have that there... Jeff's commentary doesn't say anything about this guy's company, it's just funny. And bloggers aren't responsible for people who write comments -- it would be like holding the New York Times accountable for every letter to the editor ever sent them.\"\nKluger's angry, litigious reaction to his offer being posted indicates that he knows he's doing something a bit shady. Bands like The Pussycat Dolls don't have much integrity to lose, but we were still sort of surprised to find that they sell elements of their songs to the highest bidder.\nWhat's next, a song called \"My Family And I Enjoy McDonalds-Brand Food Products\"? A band called \"Exxon/Mobil Greatly Benefits All Aspects of The Glorious Environment\"?\nI appreciate that artists need to embrace a variety of revenue opportunities to make it today, but selling song lyrics seems to go over the line -- assuming there's still such a thing as selling out.\nSee Also:\nPhoto: Thomas Hawk", "url": "http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/09/products-placed.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080920100114/http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/09/products-placed.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Product Placement “oppertunity” from adamkluger@inbox.com", "text": "One of my lifelong dreams has been to turn on top 40 radio and hear some pop tartlet subtly dropping product placements for my fake sweatshop products into their newest hot single.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "Ministro Lavín reacciona y decide prohibir el uso de publicidad en textos escolares", "text": "Luego de la polémica provocada por la publicación de textos escolares que incluyen avisos comerciales que podrían influir sobre menores sin discernimiento, el titular de Educación culpó de la medida a las administraciones concertacionistas para luego afirmar que instruyó que, en el futuro, los textos escolares no hagan alusión a una marca específica, sino que la enseñen a través de marcas ficticias.\nLuego de que este martes El Mostrador informara que textos escolares aprobados por el Ministerio de Educación incluyen publicidad, el Gobierno decidió prohibir el uso de avisos comerciales en libros para estudiantes. La medida se debió a la polémica que generó la publicación de este medio dando a conocer que libros de estudio de “Lenguaje y Comunicación”, usados por estudiantes de los primeros años de enseñanza, incluían avisos comerciales de distinto tamaño en la unidad de “Medios y publicidad”.\nEl problema central -que generó una reacción sin precedentes de los usuarios de las redes sociales, los presidentes de las comisiones de educación de la Cámara de Diputados y el Senado y expertos en educación y publicidad, calificando la situación de “inaceptable”- se debió a que los textos de estudio incluían avisos comerciales que en vez de alentar a los niños a identificar los mensajes publicitarios, fomentaban la repetición de esloganes y mensajes que promovían el consumo de productos de manera contraria al objetivo de la unidad “Medios y publicidad”, que busca que los niños identifiquen mensajes publicitarios para no sucumbir ante ellos.\nA raíz de las informaciones dadas a conocer ayer, la presidenta de la comisión de Educación de la Cámara de Diputados, María José Hoffmann (UDI), dijo que “la publicidad en textos escolares es inaceptable y exige regulación del Ministerio”. La parlamentaria agregó que el uso de publicidad a temprana edad genera fidelidad futura, lo que debiera ser regulado y excluido de cualquier proyecto educativo.\nEl senador Mariano Ruiz Esquide, del partido Demócrata Cristiano, sostuvo que el hecho constituye “una manipulación de los niños y su familia que debe ser sancionada”. “Es un hecho atentatorio a la formación de los jóvenes. No es posible que existan avisos publicitarios escondidos y aceptados, asociados a marcas publicitarias de telecomunicaciones, alimentos y bebidas”, agregó Ruiz Esquide.\nDe manera similar, el senador del PPD Jaime Quintana, quien preside la Comisión de Educación de la Cámara Alta, calificó como preocupante la situación ya que “la intromisión de las marcas en los textos escolares puede provocar que nuestros niños, claramente un target muy apetecido por las empresas, potencien su necesidad de adquirir estos productos, generando una necesidad que hasta el momento no existía y una frustración si no pueden acceder a tener lo deseado”.\nTodas estas versiones repitieron en distinto modo las frases de expertos en educación como Mario Waissbluth -quien dijo que cuando leyó el artículo le dio “un ataque de ira”- y publicistas como Martín Vinacur, quien al ser consultado para el artículo original dijo que “la publicidad infantil supone tratar a los niños como consumidores antes que como niños. Se trata de una manipulación llana y lisa para programar consumidores y eternizar una conducta cultural. La publicidad para niños es una de las aberraciones del sistema, es la transformación de la infancia en un producto de consumo bajo la excusa de reconocerlos como sujetos soberanos de sus deseos y elecciones”.\nLavín que sí, que no\nAyer el ministro de Educación Joaquín Lavín se defendió de las críticas y justificó la inclusión de los avisos en la unidad de “Medios y publicidad” haciendo hincapié en que se trata de “un contenido que permite que los niños enfrenten mejor la publicidad“. Además dijo que “los niños deberían (aprender) a través de una forma reflexiva, y eso es lo que se enseñan en estos libros, a cómo enfrentar la publicidad”. Además recordó que se trata de “los mismos libros que esa cartera viene repartiendo desde el año 2002″.\nLa información aportada por el secretario de Estado fue reconocida a El Mostrador por la ex ministra de Educación Mariana Aylwin, quien señaló que el uso de avisos en la unidad de estudio mencionada, fue aprobada en el año 2002 dentro de la reforma educativa. Pero aseguró que en ese período nunca se vio algo “ni remotamente cercano a lo que dieron a conocer ustedes”.\nSin embargo, con el paso de las horas y a medida de que la polémica fue escalando, el ministro Lavín decidió recular y dijo a los periodistas que envió un oficio a la jefa de la Unidad de Curriculum y Evaluación del Ministerio de Educación, Loreto Fontaine, en el que restringe el empleo de la publicidad en los libros que se distribuyen en colegios privados.\n“Hoy día he instruido que, en el futuro, los textos escolares cuando pasen esta materia, no hagan alusión a una marca específica, sino que la enseñen a través de marcas ficticias. Creo que es lo mejor, porque así se pasa la materia y no se predispone a los alumnos a favor de una marca específica”, dijo Lavín.\nEstos cambios se producirán a partir de la próxima impresión de textos escolares.\nRevisa las imágenes que aparecen en los textos escolares", "url": "http://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2011/04/06/ministro-lavin-reacciona-y-decide-prohibir-el-uso-de-publicidad-en-textos-escolares/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110407154430/http://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2011/04/06/ministro-lavin-reacciona-y-decide-prohibir-el-uso-de-publicidad-en-textos-escolares/" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Bromas por textos escolares con publicidad se tomaron Twitter", "text": "Guía de uso:\nEste es un espacio de libertad, por lo que solicitamos que no lo desaproveches.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "California's Wind-Driven Wildfires Char 356,000 Acres (Update5)", "text": "Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sought help from other states as wind-fueled fires burned 356,000 acres (142,400 hectares) across Southern California, consuming hundreds of houses, killing two people and uprooting more than a quarter-million more.\nAbout 68,500 homes and 2,200 businesses are threatened by fires, and 321,000 residents have fled, Rochelle Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the state's emergency response team, said in an interview today.\n``I'm heartbroken to see those things,'' Schwarzenegger said in a news conference after touring burned houses in San Diego. ``These are people that have saved all their lives to pay for those homes. We have to do everything we can to help these people.''\nMore than 6,000 firefighters backed by helicopters, bulldozers and water-laden aircraft are battling 15 wildfires in seven counties, from San Diego north to Malibu, outside Los Angeles, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.\nPresident George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in California, vowed to travel to the area Oct. 25 and sent Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator David Paulison to San Diego today.\nDead and Injured\nTwo people have been killed by the wildfires and 45 have been injured, including 16 firefighters, state authorities said. An unidentified civilian died of burns in Santa Clarita in northern Los Angeles county, and Thomas Varshock, 52, was found dead Oct. 21 in the San Diego area.\nFlames have consumed more than 1,300 homes, 100 businesses and 80 other buildings, damaged another 400 structures, according to the state fire protection agency. The Insurance Information Institute in New York estimated fire damage would total at least $500 million.\nIn San Diego, an estimated 250,000 people were evacuated, jamming roads and highways. Parts of two major freeways from the city, Interstates 15 and 5, were closed yesterday by the fires.\nTwelve evacuation centers in San Diego house more than 12,000 people, said Tonya Hoover, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry, including Qualcomm Stadium, home of the National Football League's San Diego Chargers franchise. The Chargers moved practices to Arizona for the next three days.\nEvacuations\nHewlett-Packard Co. evacuated employees yesterday from its printer-research facility, one of its largest, in northern San Diego County near Escondido, spokesman Edward Woodward said.\nSan Diego officials said they were so overwhelmed by the size and number of fires that they initially couldn't get an accurate count of how many homes had been destroyed. They fear the fires may be worse than a 2003 blaze that caused $1.1 billion in damage, destroying 4,847 structures.\n``We have very dry areas, very hot weather and a lot of wind,'' Schwarzenegger said. ``Those are the perfect storms for a fire.''\nSome police and firefighters were diverted from fighting fires, controlling access and traffic to dealing with stubborn homeowners refusing to leave their homes until the last minute, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said. The U.S. Navy asked only ``essential personnel'' to report to work yesterday, and all schools and colleges in San Diego County are closed today.\nNothing Like This\n``We've never seen anything like this,'' Sanders said yesterday. ``The fires are coming at us from all angles in the worst possible weather conditions.''\nAbout 238 homes were burned in the communities of Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs, in the mountains northeast of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles television station KTLA said.\nThe fires destroyed nine homes and five businesses in Malibu, where many movie stars have homes, northwest of Los Angeles.\nFlames consumed at least 35 buildings in Rancho Santa Fe, a northern San Diego residential community ranked by Forbes magazine last year as the second-most-expensive postal code in the nation, based on median home prices.\nHomeowners in the area, where the average residence sells for $2.5 million, include T. Boone Pickens, chairman of Dallas-based BP Capital LLC; golfer Phil Mickelson; and singer-songwriter Jewel, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.\nElectrical Emergency\nCalifornia power-system operators declared an electricity transmission emergency for a second day after the wildfires disabled wires and required utilities to curtail supplies.\nThe flames are being driven by the so-called Santa Ana winds, which carry hotter-than-normal air from desert areas in the eastern part of the state. Conditions are forecast to continue until tomorrow afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.\nThe gusting winds carried embers as far as 2 miles (3 kilometers) to kindle new fires. Temperatures may surpass 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) today. Some areas of Southern California have received little more than an inch (2 centimeters) of rain since Jan. 1.\n``The winds are being erratic and changing direction, so it is very challenging for our firefighters,'' Hoover said in a telephone interview. ``We are pooling resources throughout the western United States.''\nState Farm Mutual Insurance Co. and Farmers Insurance Group, the largest home insurers in California, face claims from more than 1,500 customers whose homes were damaged or destroyed by wildfires.\nRising Numbers\n``The numbers keep rising,'' Farmers spokesman Jerry Davies said in a phone interview from Qualcomm Stadium, where thousands of evacuees were sent. The company, a unit of Zurich Financial Services AG, has been approached by more than 800 customers, with the number climbing by about 200 in less than four hours.\nLloyd's of London and nontraditional insurers may have higher costs from the California wildfires than companies that protect most homes in the state, including Allstate Corp., because the traditional insurers have avoided fire-prone areas, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.\n``The fires are really spreading very rapidly,'' said Neena Saith, an analyst at Risk Management Solutions in London, which models disasters for insurers, in a telephone interview. ``In terms of the numbers of homes damaged, we're looking at it being in the top-five events in California history.''\nTo contact the reporter on this story: Peter J.

At that time, it was just five percent contained.\nProvaznik said the firefighters were hurt when flames engulfed their fire engine.\nA second fire in San Diego County near Witch Creek had burned 5,000 acres by Sunday night and was considered zero percent contained, she said.\nFarther north, at least seven fires burned near Malibu, the beach community that is home to dozens of celebrities.\nFires shut down the Malibu section of the Pacific Coast Highway. Watch the fires rage »\nLos Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman said five single family home and two commercial buildings -- a glass company and Malibu Presbyterian Church -- were destroyed in Malibu.\nNine single family homes and five commercial buildings had been damaged, he said of the blaze that consumed 1,200 acres.\nThe department said about 200 homes in the Malibu area were evacuated.\nHelicopters that were dumping water on the fires were to be grounded at dusk, said Freeman. He said firefighters were in a \"good position\" to fight the blaze with engine companies after dark.\nFreeman said the Malibu area fire began around 4:50 a.m. (7:50 a.m. ET) Sunday. As of 5 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) the Malibu fire was not under control, he said.\nThe cause is still under investigation but several downed power lines were found in the area, he said.\nFreeman's \"best projection\" is that the fire will last at least two days.\n\"Thousands of homes are going to be threatened at one time or another based on the movement of the fire,\" said Freeman.\nMalibu Mayor Pro Tem Pamela Conley Ulich said earlier Sunday, \"We are at the mercy of the wind.\"\nHot weather and Santa Ana winds marked the height of traditional wildfire season this weekend, after one of the driest years on record.\nNoting there have not been any reported injuries in Malibu, Freeman urged residents not to return to their homes to retrieve anything.\n\"We're all scared to death and we have nowhere to go,\" Susan Nuttall, 51, told The Associated Press as she sat in her black Mercedes in a cul-de-sac after fleeing her condominium near the Pepperdine campus. She was wearing a bathrobe and holding her Chihuahua. View images of the destruction »\nFlames consumed Malibu's landmark Castle Kashan, a fortress-like hilltop home with turrets and arched windows.\nChunks of brick fell from the exterior of the burning structure overlooking the coast. The house was not directly in the fire's path, but powerful winds carried embers to the building, fire inspector Rick Dominguez said. Castle Kashan is owned by Lilly Lawrence, a Malibu philanthropist.\nDaniel Collins, who has been staying at Castle Kashan for a few months, said he woke to thick smoke and \"flames licking the windows.\"\n\"It was pretty intense,\" he told CNN. \"And we were probably in this house for an hour or so watching this and finally they got us out of there. By the time we left, the castle was engulfed in flames.\"\nCollins said he felt safe because there were many firefighters. Once he was helped from the castle, Collins rushed to see if his neighbors were safe and they were, he said.\nMeanwhile, students at Pepperdine's Malibu campus were told to gather at Firestone Field House, while faculty and staff were gathering at Tyler Campus Center, campus police told CNN.\nLater the university said students, faculty and staff who relocated to those facilities had been allowed to return to their dorms and on-campus residences.\nThe fire department as of 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) listed the following areas as being under mandatory evacuation orders: Montenedo, Malibu Road, Malibu Colony, Pepperdine, Malibu Crest, Serra Retreat and Big Rock.\nThe residential area Malibu Crest and vacation area Sierra Retreat also were evacuated Sunday, Padilla said.\nEvacuation centers were set up at Zuma Beach and authorities had aerial teams serving as lookouts, and helicopters and fire engines to areas as they became threatened, Dominguez said.\nResidents of the threatened areas include Dick Van Dyke, Mel Gibson, and Olivia Newton John.\nMeanwhile, another wind-driven wildfire has burned hundreds of acres of woodland in the Townsend Peak area of California's Angeles National Forest, in the northern section of Los Angeles County, according to U.S. Forest Service spokesman Stanton Florea.\nAuthorities said that fire, near Castaic, had consumed 1,500 acres as of 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) Sunday.\nThe fire, which started just before 10 p.m. Saturday (1 a.m. Sunday ET) Saturday, threatens a condor habitat and destroyed an out-building, Florea said.

Winners were chosen by a jury of 87 judges who come from all walks of literary life: journalists, authors, booksellers, librarians, playwrights, and illustrators.\nThe judges assessed 462 LGBT-interest titles nominated in 23 categories, selecting 113 finalists from LGBT-specific presses academic publishers and mainstream trade houses.\nOf those 113 finalists, 24 winners were announced (including 1 tie). Winners included Ariel Gore, editor of the anthology Portland Queer: Tales of the Rose City; Catherynne M. Valente, author of the fantasy novel Palimpsest; and Vestal McIntyre author of the novel, Lake Overturn.\nTwo $1,000 cash prizes were given out to debut fiction authors Rakesh Satyal (Blue Boy) and Rhiannon Argo (The Creamsickle). The Betty Berzon Debut Fiction Award is named after long-time LGBT activist and author, Betty Berzon.\n2010 Pioneer Awards were also given to Larry Kramer and Kate Clinton.\n“Reading powerful stories about ourselves is important, and the foundation’s commitment to supporting LGBT artists and writers is vital,” said 2010 Pioneer Award Recipient, Kate Clinton.\n“Queer books save queer lives,” Lambda Board member, Nicola Griffith observes. The Lambda Literary Foundation’s sole purpose is to champion those books, to nurture, celebrate, and preserve queer literature.”\nScott Cranin, Board member: “The Lambda Literary Awards have become the centerpiece of the year for the literary community. They help readers find the gems and recognize the authors for writing them.”\nTerry DeCrescenzo, Board member: “The Lambda Literary Awards insure that our literary voices are not only heard, but also celebrated.

Stepped-up safeguards included officers armed with machine guns, bomb-sniffing dogs, increased video surveillance and more police at train and bus stations.\nHomeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff (search) said Thursday that authorities had no evidence of a specific, credible threat against the United States.\nHowever, he said, \"we feel that, at least in the short term, we should raise the level here because, obviously, we're concerned about the possibility of a copycat attack.\"\nThe London attacks were well-coordinated, leading to speculation about Al Qaeda (search) involvement, and U.S. officials were trying to determine responsibility.\nU.S. counterterror officials said they received intelligence last month dating back to 2004 that Al Qaeda was interested in attacking rail systems in Europe and the United States, including derailing trains or crashing trucks into them. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the intelligence is classified, said the report lacked specifics on the date and location of any potential attacks.\n(Story continues below)\nADVERTISEMENTS Advertise Here\nSecurity around the Capitol and at foreign embassies in Washington was increased, particularly around the British Embassy. Law enforcement authorities around the country were urged to step up security at United Kingdom diplomatic offices, and the State Department ordered U.S. embassies around the world to review their security arrangements.\n\"We will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists,\" President Bush said in Gleneagles, Scotland, where he was attending the Group of Eight (search) summit. \"We will find them. We will bring them to justice.\"\nSigning a condolence book at the British Embassy in Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (search) wrote of Thursday's bombing victims, \"They will not have died in vain.\"\nAt the State Department, a British flag was run up a flagpole outside the diplomatic entrance and then lowered to half-staff by two uniformed guards.\nFor many Americans, the bombings and heightened security revived the tension many had felt after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but which had seemed to recede in recent months.\n\"Everything is kind of vulnerable,\" said Bill Giel, 53, of Milford, Conn., who was riding a commuter train to work. \"I just hope the authorities are doing their job in keeping things secure.\"\n\"You kind of hold your breath until rush hour is over because of the timing of the one in London,\" said Paul Dullea, a 37-year-old employee of the Boston Bar Association who rode the commuter rail and subway into Boston from his home in Millis, Mass.\nAbout 29 million people in the United States take commuter trains or subways on an average workday, and millions more take buses. The New York City area accounts for about a third of the rail total, followed by Chicago, Washington, Boston and Philadelphia. The West Coast's largest transit system is in San Francisco.\nThe alert marked the seventh time the terror threat advisory level had been raised to orange since it was created in 2002, though, like the last time, it was for specific areas. The alert was last raised in August for financial institutions in Washington, New York and Newark, N.J., in the run-up to the November elections.\nRecent intelligence has indicated that London was considered a prime target for Islamic extremists, in part because Al Qaeda was having difficulty getting people into the United States, one official said.\nTwo senior U.S. counterterror officials who detailed some of the classified information received in June said it indicated Al Qaeda's intention to replicate last year's Madrid train bombing attack in Europe and the United States. The officials would not specify whether the intelligence came from a person, intercepted communication or other source.\nBut they said the intelligence was not otherwise specific, and was dated back to shortly after the Madrid attacks in March 2004.\nThe officials stressed that the information came as part of a stream of reports indicating Al Qaeda's interest in transit attacks. One of the officials said a federal bulletin was not issued to private, state and local authorities because there wasn't specific information tied to an attack.\nU.S. officials have long worried that terrorists would try to strike the nation's mass transit system.\nAuthorities are particularly concerned about transit systems in Washington, New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago because of earlier indications of Al Qaeda's interest in those cities, said John Rollins, a former senior Homeland Security intelligence official now with Congressional Research Service.\nIn February, FBI Director Robert Mueller told the Senate Intelligence Committee that U.S. transportation systems \"remain a key target.\" He said last year's attacks on commuter trains in Madrid showed the devastation that a simple, low-tech operation could achieve.\nU.S. security concerns and resources have focused on commercial airlines since 2001, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee.\n\"We tend to always be looking backward at what the last threat or attack was,\" Collins said. \"As soon as we close the gaps in one area, I'm certain the terrorists will exploit in other areas.\"\nSecurity efforts were not being increased at U.S. airports after Thursday's attacks.", "url": "http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161773,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060427084513/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161773,00.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "U.S. Raises Threat Level for Transit Systems, Chertoff Says", "text": "July 7 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will raise the terror threat level for public transit systems, while keeping the national threat level unchanged, U.S. Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said.\nThe threat level for transit systems will be raised from ``elevated,'' to ``high,'' he said.\n``We are not suggesting that people avoid public transportation systems,'' he said. ``We don't have any specific credible information that an attack is imminent in the U.S.''\nThe change is in response to terrorist bombings on London's subway system and a bus that killed at least 33 people and injured more than 345 others.

[ { "language": "pt", "title": "Correio da Manhã", "text": "A Cimeira UE-África ficou assim marcada por divergências entre os dois continentes sobre os novos acordos comerciais. O presidente do Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade, abandonou aliás a conferência com um apelo contra os acordos de parceria económica. “Os africanos estão contra os acordos”, declarou.\nPerante as críticas, o presidente da Comissão Europeia, Durão Barroso, garantiu que a UE vai continuar a negociar os acordos com os países africanos em 2008 e que o objectivo é impedir “que qualquer país africano fique pior” no próximo ano.\nMas Sócrates mostrou-se satisfeito com a Cimeira e realçou o seu sucesso. “Tenho a certeza que as coisas vão melhorar”, afirmou o presidente em exercício da UE, que destacou a adopção de uma estratégia conjunta e os mecanismos para a sua implementação (ver caixas).\nEm relação aos Direitos Humanos, o primeiro-ministro realçou que “esta Cimeira não foi de silêncios, deu voz a quem precisa dela, deu voz aos Direitos Humanos, aos refugiados, aos imigrantes, às legítimas aspirações de desenvolvimento”.\nUma opinião bem diferente da organização internacional Human Rights Watch: “Muito se tem falado sobre Direitos Humanos e boa governação, mas o que é que os líderes de Estado e de Governo acordaram em concreto a favor do povo de África? Lamentavelmente, a resposta é nada”, afirmou o porta-voz da organização, Reed Brody.\nÀ margem da Cimeira foram assinados vários acordos, como o envio de oito mil milhões de euros para 30 países africanos. Moçambique, São Tomé e Príncipe e Guiné-Bissau são alguns dos beneficiários. A próxima Cimeira UE-África ficou marcada para 2010 e a Líbia já se mostrou interessada em acolher o encontro.\nPLANO DE ACÇÃO UE-ÁFRICA 2007-2010\nOs líderes europeus e africanos aprovaram ontem o primeiro plano de acção comum, com projectos a executar entre 2008 e 2010. Uma das áreas apoiadas é o comércio, com dois mil milhões de euros.\nPETRÓLEO E CIMENTO DA LÍBIA DE KADHAFI\nPortugal e a Líbia deram ontem o seu apoio à compra, pela Secil, de 50 por cento do capital da cimenteira líbia Al-Ahlia Cement Company, que está ainda a ser negociado.\nA segunda maior cimenteira portuguesa assinou ontem, no Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros, em Lisboa, uma declaração de intenções sobre a assinatura de um memorando de entendimento com a Líbia para compra de metade do capital social da empresa. Em comunicado refere-se que os governos dos dois países “manifestam o seu apoio à rápida conclusão das referidas negociações”.\nJá a Galp Energia vai associar-se à Libya Africa Investment Portfolio (LAP) para desenvolvimento de projectos de exploração e produção de petróleo e gás natural. O anúncio das duas iniciativas contou ontem com o testemunho do primeiro-ministro português, José Sócrates, e o líder líbio, Muammar Kadhafi. Que foi recebido duas vezes por Sócrates em São Bento durante a sua estada em Portugal.\n\"ARROGÂNCIA DO BANDO DOS QUATRO\"\nChegou sábado à noite ao Palácio da Ajuda com trinta minutos de atraso para o banquete oferecido pelo Presidente da República, Cavaco Silva e, manteve-se em silêncio durante a Cimeira até ontem. Robert Mugabe, presidente do Zimbabwe, acusou a chanceler alemã Ângela Merkel de “arrogância” pelas críticas que fez, na véspera, ao seu regime.\n“Nós não temos uma democracia há cem anos. Tivemos de lutar por ela no nosso país. As críticas são arrogantes e provêm do bando dos quatro “, declarou, aludindo não só à chanceler como aos homólogos da Suécia, Dinamarca e Holanda.\nAntes, já Javier Solana, Alto Representante da União Europeia para a Política Externa, assegurava que as declarações de Ângela Merkel vinculavam os 27 Estados-membros.\nMerkel acusou Mugabe de fazer “mal à imagem de uma nova África”. Solana sublinhou que a Europa está pronta a regularizar as relações com o Zimbabwe desde que o país dê sinais de respeito pelos Direitos Humanos.\nPor sua vez, o secretário executivo da Comunidade de Desenvolvimento da África Austral , Tomaz Salomão, lembrou que “o Zimbabwe não fazia parte da ordem de trabalhos”, registando o desconforto.\nO LIVRO DO ASSESSOR\nO livro ‘Arte e Artistas em Portugal’, de Alexandre Melo [conselheiro cultural de José Sócrates], foi oferecido na Cimeira. A edição é do Instituto Camões, feita há seis anos, e o próprio disse que “não tinha conhecimento”.\nNOTAS\nDIREITOS HUMANOS\nReforçar o diálogo a nível mundial e nas instâncias internacionais. A UE pretende ainda enviar até ao final do ano uma força militar para o Darfur.\nALTERAÇÕES CLIMÁTICAS\nApoio à criação do projecto Muralha Verde, que tem como objectivo travar a desertificação dos solos em torno do Sahara, com a construção de barragens e plantação de árvores.\nIMIGRAÇÃO E MOBILIDADE\nCombater o tráfico de seres humanos e a imigração ilegal. Promover a integração de imigrantes e o desenvolvimento dos seus países de origem.\nA CADA SEGUNDO MORREM OITO CRIANÇAS EM ÁFRICA\nA cada segundo que passa morrem oito crianças em África.

Après Hambourg, Boston et Toronto, la ville de Rome a enterré mercredi 21 septembre sa candidature à l'organisation des JO 2024. À cette liste s'ajoute Munich, qui a renoncé par référendum aux Jeux d'hiver 2022. Plus récemment, Québec tournait le dos aux JO 2026.\nLes réticences des villes et de leurs populations sont avant tout motivées par des raisons financières. Les dépenses engagées dans l'organisation des Jeux olympiques se comptent en milliards, voire en dizaines de milliards d'euros. En 2014, la Russie pulvérisait à Sotchi le record des JO les plus chers de l'histoire avec un budget de 37 milliards d'euros.\nÉchecs financiers, problèmes envrionnementaux et corruption\nCes sommes d'argent considérables se retrouvent trop souvent mal investies. En 2004, le budget de 10 milliards d'euros consacré aux Jeux d'Athènes a servi en grande partie à construire des stades... qui sont aujourd'hui à l'abandon. Le Comité international olympique (CIO) a estimé que cet énorme échec financier a coûté à la Grèce près de deux points de croissance.\nLe phénomène n'est pas nouveau. En 1976, en pleine crise pétrolière, le déficit d’un milliard de dollars des Jeux de Montréal avait refroidi plus d'une candidature. Los Angeles s'était ainsi retrouvée seule ville candidate à l'organisation des Jeux de 1984.\nAux problèmes économiques et financiers s'ajoutent aujourd'hui les conséquences sur l’environnement, les désagréments quotidiens provoqués par des années de travaux, ainsi que les affaires de dopage et de corruption qui touchent les grandes instances internationales sportives.\nLe Qatar bientôt candidat à l'organisation des Jeux\nLe CIO a pris conscience du problème. Depuis 2011, une réforme rend possible les candidatures conjointes entre pays pour partager la prise de risque financière. Pourquoi ne pas imaginer un jour une candidature aux Jeux d'hiver dans les Alpes, partagée entre la France, la Suisse, l’Autriche, l’Allemagne et la Slovénie ? Autres changements : dans le cahier des charges, les villes n'ont plus l’obligation de construire des parcs olympiques et la priorité est donnée aux candidatures qui privilégient le développement durable.\nLes Jeux olympiques ont toutefois encore un bel avenir devant eux. Chine, Russie, Brésil... Les pays émergeants, qui regorgent de moyens financiers et sont en demande d'événements à même d'affirmer leur puissance, ne s'embarrassent de consulter leur population. Après la Coupe du monde de football 2022, le Qatar déposera à son tour sa candidature à l'organisation des Jeux.", "url": "http://www.francetvinfo.fr/sports/jo/jo-2024/chere-impopulaire-l-organisation-des-jeux-olympiques-fait-de-moins-en-moins-rever_1836789.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160923052112/http://www.francetvinfo.fr/sports/jo/jo-2024/chere-impopulaire-l-organisation-des-jeux-olympiques-fait-de-moins-en-moins-rever_1836789.html" } ]

La más antigua se habría construido en el año 700 d.C. El origen de sus autores, los rapanui, sigue siendo un misterio. | Fuente: AP Photo / Gtres | Fotógrafo: Karen Schwartz\nUn estudio científico señaló este viernes que no hay prueba genética de que los habitantes de la Isla de Pascua, los rapanui, se hayan mezclado con indígenas de Sudamérica antes de la llegada los conquistadores europeos. Según el informe de la revista médica Current Biology, tampoco es posible descartar al 100% los contactos culturales o acercamientos entre la comunidad asentada en la actual zona de Chile y los demás pueblos originarios del subcontinente americano.\nLars Fehren-Schmitz, investigador de la Universidad de California y el principal autor de la investigación, afirmó que les \"sorprendió no encontrar ninguna traza de indígenas americanos\" en las muestras de ADN que extrajeron de cinco restos del yacimiento de Anakena, que se ubica al norte de la isla. De acuerdo a cálculos, tres de los cadáveres pertenecieron a individuos que vivieron mucho antes del año 1722, mientras que los otros dos fueron de personas más contemporáneas, nacidas entre el siglo XIX y el XX.\nLos científicos dijeron \"no encontrar ninguna traza de indígenas americanos\" en el ADN extraído de los restos de quienes vivieron en la antigua civilización.\nMisterio. Los resultados permitieron a Fehren-Schmitz y su equipo rechazar la hipótesis porque ninguno de esos individuos tenía una herencia sustancial de indígenas americanos. \"Nuestra información sugiere que la herencia indígena americana presente hoy en día en los pascuenses no estaba presente en la isla antes del contacto europeo y, por tanto, puede ser debido a hechos más recientes en la historia\", añadió.\nDe esta manera, queda pendiente la respuesta sobre cuándo se produjo exactamente el mestizaje entre rapanuis y sudamericanos. En la actualidad, el ADN de los pascuenses muestra entre un 6% y un 8% de material genético procedente de indígenas americanos. El próximo paso para los investigadores sería obtener cuantiosas muestras del genoma de otras poblaciones antiguas de Oceanía y el occidente de Sudamérica para determinar las interacciones potenciales entre unos y otros.

La causa de su extinción podría estar relacionada con dos factores: el agotamiento de los recursos como resultado de la tala de los bosques y el exterminio de animales por los polinesios y la guerra entre diferentes tribus de aborígenes.\nLas guerras internas, por su parte, llevaron a la extinción casi completa de la cultura moái.

Firefox 3 is the culmination of three years of efforts from thousands of developers, security experts, localization and support communities, and testers from around the globe.\nAvailable today in approximately 50 languages, Firefox 3 is two to three times faster than its predecessor and offers more than 15,000 improvements, including the revolutionary smart location bar, malware protection, and extensive under the hood work to improve the speed and performance of the browser.\n“We’re really proud of Firefox 3 and it just shows what a committed, energized global community can do when they work together,” said John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla.\nWhat’s New in Firefox 3:\nThe Web is all about innovation, and Firefox 3 sets the pace with dozens of new features to deliver a faster, more secure and customizable Web browsing experience for all.\nUser Experience. The enhancements to Firefox 3 provide the best possible browsing experience on the Web. The new Firefox 3 smart location bar, affectionately known as the “Awesome Bar,” learns as people use it, adapting to user preferences and offering better fitting matches over time. The Firefox 3 Library archives browsing history, bookmarks, and tags, where they can be easily searched and organized. One-click bookmarking and tagging make it easy to remember, search and organize Web sites. The new full-page zoom displays any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds.\nPerformance. Firefox 3 is built on top of the powerful new Gecko 1.9 platform, resulting in a safer, easier to use and more personal product. Firefox 3 now uses less memory while it’s running, and its redesigned page rendering and layout engine means users see Web pages two to three times faster than Firefox 2.\nSecurity. Firefox 3 raises the bar for security. The new malware and phishing protection helps protect from viruses, worms, trojans and spyware to keep people safe on the Web. Firefox 3’s one-click site ID information allows users to verify that a site is what it claims to be. Mozilla’s open source process leverages the experience of thousands of security experts around the globe.\nCustomization. Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox 3 lets users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons. Firefox Add-ons allow users to manage tasks like participating in online auctions, uploading digital photos, seeing the weather forecasts, and listening to music, all from the convenience of the browser. The new Add-ons Manager helps users to find and install add-ons directly from the browser.\nFor more information about Mozilla Firefox 3 and how it delivers an easier, faster, and safer online experience, visit http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/features.\nMozilla Firefox 3 is available now for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems as a free download from http://www.getfirefox.com.\nThe release of Firefox 3 kicks off Download Day, the Mozilla community’s grassroots campaign to set a brand new Guinness World Record for the greatest number of software downloads in 24 hours. The worldwide community effort begins the minute Firefox 3 is released and will continue for a full day.

However, it is unclear whether the ejecta-formed dust can survive the hot interior of the supernova remnant (SNR). We present infrared observations of ~0.02 of warm (~100 K) dust seen near the center of the ~10,000 yr-old Sgr A East SNR at the Galactic center. Our findings signify the detection of dust within an older SNR that is expanding into a relatively dense surrounding medium (n e ~ 100 cm−3) and has survived the passage of the reverse shock. The results suggest that supernovae may indeed be the dominant dust production mechanism in the dense environment of early Universe galaxies.", "url": "http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2015/03/18/science.aaa2208.abstract", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150323060208/http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2015/03/18/science.aaa2208.abstract" }, { "language": "en", "title": "NASA’s SOFIA Finds Missing Link Between Supernovae and Planet Formation", "text": "[image-36]\nUsing NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an international scientific team discovered that supernovae are capable of producing a substantial amount of the material from which planets like Earth can form.\nThese findings are published in the March 19 online issue of Science magazine.\n\"Our observations reveal a particular cloud produced by a supernova explosion 10,000 years ago contains enough dust to make 7,000 Earths,\" said Ryan Lau of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.\nThe research team, headed by Lau, used SOFIA's airborne telescope and the Faint Object InfraRed Camera for the SOFIA Telescope, FORCAST, to take detailed infrared images of an interstellar dust cloud known as Supernova Remnant Sagittarius A East, or SNR Sgr A East.\n[image-51]\nThe team used SOFIA data to estimate the total mass of dust in the cloud from the intensity of its emission. The investigation required measurements at long infrared wavelengths in order to peer through intervening interstellar clouds and detect the radiation emitted by the supernova dust.\nAstronomers already had evidence that a supernova’s outward-moving shock wave can produce significant amounts of dust. Until now, a key question was whether the new soot- and sand-like dust particles would survive the subsequent inward “rebound” shock wave generated when the first, outward-moving shock wave collides with surrounding interstellar gas and dust.\n\"The dust survived the later onslaught of shock waves from the supernova explosion, and is now flowing into the interstellar medium where it can become part of the 'seed material' for new stars and planets,\" Lau explained.\nThese results also reveal the possibility that the vast amount of dust observed in distant young galaxies may have been made by supernova explosions of early massive stars, as no other known mechanism could have produced nearly as much dust.\n\"This discovery is a special feather in the cap for SOFIA, demonstrating how observations made within our own Milky Way galaxy can bear directly on our understanding of the evolution of galaxies billions of light years away,\" said Pamela Marcum, a SOFIA project scientist at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.\nSOFIA is a heavily modified Boeing 747 Special Performance jetliner that carries a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches (2.5 meters) at altitudes of 39,000 to 45,000 feet (12 to 14 km).

Wczoraj dyskutowali o tym członkowie prezydium Klubu PO. – Pojawiła się taka propozycja, ale nie znam szczegółów. Jesteśmy na etapie wstępnego zapoznawania się z projektem. W najbliższych dniach spotkam się z pomysłodawcą – mówi „Rz” Grzegorz Dolniak, wiceszef Klubu PO. Autorem pomysłu jest poseł Andrzej Czuma, szef komisji śledczej ds. ewentualnych nacisków na służby. Według naszych informacji wczoraj przedstawiał uzasadnienie do gotowego już projektu ustawy. – Miała miejsce taka dyskusja, jednak na razie uznaliśmy, że to byłaby rewolucja – mówi nieoficjalnie polityk PO obecny na posiedzeniu. – W tak ważnej kwestii to nie powinien być projekt poselski, lecz, jeśli już w ogóle, to rządowy – dodaje Waldy Dzikowski, wiceszef Klubu PO. Czuma chciałby, aby w Polsce, podobnie jak w USA, dostęp do broni był jak najszerszy. – Poseł Czuma mieszkał parę lat w Chicago. Byłbym bardzo ostrożny z realizacją tak ryzykownego pomysłu – komentuje poseł Janusz Zemke, szef sejmowej speckomisji. – Nie chodzi tylko o rozszerzenie, ale też o zwiększenie rygoru dostępu – tłumaczy Czuma. – Trzeba dać ludziom możliwość obrony przed bandytami. To może zapobiec przestępczości. W kraju takim jak Polska bandyta i tak kupi każdy rodzaj broni, a uczciwy obywatel nie może. Obecnie przepisy dotyczące posiadania broni reguluje ustawa z 1999 r. Czuma twierdzi, że prawo to jest niezgodne z regulacjami unijnymi, a Polska ma na dostosowanie swoich przepisów w tym zakresie 24 miesiące. Poseł chciałby przekonać kolegów z PO także do innych rozwiązań. Proponuje, żeby zamiast policji pozwolenia na broń wydawały organy administracji samorządowej – prezydenci miast, wójtowie, burmistrzowie. Jednak najważniejsza zmiana miałaby dotyczyć właśnie powszechnego dostępu do broni – każdy, z wyjątkiem przestępców czy osób chorych psychicznie, mógłby się starać o tzw. obywatelską kartę broni. W samej PO te pomysły wywołują kontrowersje. – Wydają mi się karkołomne – komentuje Jarosław Gowin, wiceszef partii. A co o nich sądzą eksperci? Generał Mirosław Gawor, były szef BOR, jest sceptyczny. – Nie mamy infrastruktury, dzięki której można by przeszkolić obywateli w posługiwaniu się bronią. Nie jest w stanie tego zrobić ani policja, ani wojsko – mówi „Rz”. Jego zdaniem nie ma potrzeby rozszerzania zakresu pozwoleń na broń: – Obecnie prawo dopuszcza ubieganie się o pozwolenie przez każdego obywatela. Jeszcze bardziej krytyczny jest generał Roman Polko. – Rozszerzanie dostępu do broni to głupi pomysł. Taka zmiana przepisów mogłaby spowodować, że pozwolenia trafią w ręce ludzi przypadkowych – mówi wiceszef BBN. – Pozwolenia powinna wydawać policja, bo ma doświadczenie w posługiwaniu się bronią. [ramka] W Stanach Zjednoczonych konstytucja zapewnia obywatelom prawo do noszenia broni. Według oficjalnych statystyk znajduje się ona w 35 proc. amerykańskich domów. W Europie najbardziej liberalne w tej sprawie są Finlandia i Szwajcaria. Zezwolenie na noszenie broni może uzyskać każdy obywatel powyżej 15 lat, ma ją 56 proc. Finów. W pozostałych krajach jej noszenie jest nielegalne, z wyjątkiem myśliwych i strzelców sportowych. Zanim w 1997 r. władze brytyjskie zakazały posiadania broni, ok. 57 tys. obywateli miało w domu co najmniej jeden pistolet. W Brazylii, jak w większości krajów Ameryki Południowej, posiadanie broni jest legalne, ale tylko we własnym domu. Szacuje się, że w tym kraju w rękach prywatnych jest 17 mln sztuk broni.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "HIGHLIGHTS from the SIPRI YEARBOOK 2005", "text": "Security and conflicts\n• In 2004 it became obvious that maintaining control over Iraqi territory would require capabilities other than high-intensity warfare and more manpower than in the technology-intensive phase of the war.\n• Many of the conflicts that continue to produce the greatest number of deaths, casualties and suffering are wars of long duration. Far from soliciting more attention, their long-standing and recurrent nature tend to make them less visible internationally. Although the current international emphasis on the prevention of violent conflict is a positive development, it is worth considering whether the emphasis of policy and research should be directed at addressing the resolution of the world’s longest-standing major armed conflicts.\n• Much of the current discussion of peace-building is focused on the macro level. What current operational experiences appear to illustrate, however, is that peace-building fails most often at the micro level, in the content and delivery of specific security, rule-of-law, economic, social and political reforms.\n• Nationally led ‘coalitions of the willing’ of the kind that undertook the military actions in Afghanistan (2002) and Iraq (2003) pose special challenges for parliamentary oversight, since the interstate component of decision making is not carried out through an established, transparent multilateral institutional process.\n• Military expenditure by states in the Middle East is high and shows a rising trend since 1996. Conventional arms races are unconstrained, but developments related to weapons of mass destruction are the ones that receive international attention.\n• Since the 1980s, the introduction of a more open economic model in most states of the Latin American and Caribbean region has been accompanied by the growth of new regional structures, the dying out of interstate conflicts and a reduction in intra-state conflicts.\nMilitary spending and armaments\n• In the new security environment, which focuses on insecurity in the South and greater global security interdependence, there is an increasing awareness of the ineffectiveness of military means for addressing threats and challenges to security and a growing recognition of the need for global action.\n• World military expenditure exceeded $1 trillion in 2004. The USA accounted for 47 per cent of this spending.\n• The combined arms sales of the top 100 arms-producing companies in 2003 were 25 per cent (in current dollars) higher than in 2002.\n• China is almost completely dependent on Russia for its arms imports, but its relationship is changing from a recipient of complete weapons to a recipient of components and technology to be used in Chinese weapon platforms. There are indications that China is anxious to gain access to other than Russian technology, partly because that technology is becoming outdated.\nNon-proliferation, arms control and disarmament\n• In April 2004 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1540, an instruction to UN member states that they must legislate nationally to introduce effective controls on nuclear, biological and chemical weapon proliferation-sensitive items. The resolution was adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, leaving open the potential use of enforcement measures by the Security Council against states failing to comply with this instruction.\n• The controversies over the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programmes led to renewed interest in proposals for limiting civil uranium-enrichment and plutonium-reprocessing capabilities on a worldwide basis.\n• A number of official inquiries into the handling of intelligence concerning Iraq’s weapon programmes, including how it had been interpreted or presented, published reports in 2004. The inquiries found a common theme that pre-war assessments were inaccurate and unsupported by the available evidence.\n• Since Libya’s policy change it has become clear that it received considerable foreign assistance to procure sensitive nuclear materials, technologies and components as well as documentation related to nuclear weapon design. However, the relatively low technical absorption capacity of its scientific–industrial base meant that these ‘short cuts’ did not bring Libya appreciably closer to achieving a nuclear weapon capability.\n• The NATO–Russia stalemate over the adapted CFE Treaty has lasted for over five years, but the second wave of NATO enlargement was accomplished despite Russia’s concerns. In Europe, the focus has shifted towards ‘soft’ measures and arrangements, such as confidence- and security-building measures for stricter control of small arms, surplus ammunition and landmines.\n• International non-proliferation and disarmament assistance (INDA) is becoming a significant element of the wider anti-proliferation effort. To increase the effectiveness of this assistance, the efforts made by the G8 group of industrialized states were redesigned in 2004. Traditionally undertaken as a bilateral effort between the USA and Russia, the functional and geographic scope of INDA programmes is expected to expand in future to include projects in a wider range of countries, cover new types of sensitive material and undertake projects in new countries.\n• In 2004 the EU reviewed the instruments that have been used to create an effective and modern system for controlling transfers of both conventional weapons and dual-use items. As a result of these reviews. revisions will be made to both the arms and dual-use export control systems of the EU.\n• Over the years, the law of the sea has been adapted to changed priorities. Today, the general rule of flag-state jurisdiction has yielded to the universal interest of combating the slave trade, piracy and drug trafficking. In future, the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction may also be added to this list.", "url": "http://yearbook2005.sipri.org/highl/highlights", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060711231724/http://yearbook2005.sipri.org/highl/highlights" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Weapons spending tops $1 trillion", "text": "The US \"war on terror\" is the main driver behind the spending boost\nA study by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri) found that countries around the world spent $162 on weapons for each person alive.\nThe US alone accounted for 47% of the global total, mainly because of soaring spending on its \"global war on terror\".\nArms companies were benefiting from the demand, with sales at the top 100 firms up 25% in 2003 on the year before.\nThe pace of mega-mergers in the arms trade in recent years had slackened, Sipri said, but had left major military suppliers comparable in size and influence to top multinational corporations.\nDriven by the US\nAccording to the 2005 yearbook published by Sipri, a well-respected think-tank on war and peace studies, the total spending on weapons in 2004 grew 8% to $1.035 trillion - the highest dollar value yet.\nThe main explanation for the current level of... world military spending is the spending on military operations abroad by the US\nSipri 2005 yearbook\nAdjusted for inflation, the figure falls just 6% below the all-time peak of spending in 1987-88, the last gasp of the Cold War.\nThe US was the primary driver behind the 2004 growth as the massive budget allocations on fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and rearmament elsewhere were spent.\nIn all, its extra spending on the \"war on terror\" between 2002 and 2004 - some $238bn - exceeded the combined military spending of the developing world including China.\n\"The main explanation for the current level of, and trend in, world military spending is the spending on military operations abroad by the US and to a lesser extent its coalition partners,\" the report said.\nBut other countries too were rearming rapidly, notably in the Middle East.\nChina and India were key recipients of conventional weapons in 2004, Sipri found.

Led by the United States, which accounted for almost half of all military expenditure, the world spent $1.035 trillion on defense, equal to 2.6% of global gross domestic product, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said. Besides its regular defense budget, the United States has allocated $238 billion since 2003 to fight terrorism, according to the report. \"These appropriations are now assuming extraordinary proportions,\" said SIPRI researcher Elisabeth Skons, who co-authored the organization's annual report. Adjusted for inflation, the figure for global military spending in 2004 is only 6% lower than its Cold War peak in 1987-1988, Skons said. Total military expenditure grew 6% in 2004 over the previous year, in line with an average annual increase since 2002, the institute said. South Asia, northern Africa and North America made the largest increases. In Western Europe and Central America, military spending fell. But the report said the figures might be on the low side as countries are increasingly outsourcing services related to armed conflicts, such as military training and providing logistics in combat zones, without classifying them as military expenditures. Such outsourcing has more than doubled in the last 15 years, and was estimated to have reached $100 million during 2004, SIPRI researcher Caroline Holmqvist said. The researchers predicted it would double again from current levels by 2010. \"This is a global phenomenon,\" Holmqvist said, adding it was difficult to provide exact figures. \"This is an industry that is not largely regulated.\" As a region, South Asia saw the biggest rise in military expenditure, largely because India boosted its defense budget by 19% in a move that could provide a \"real setback\" to the country's attempts at ending a decades-long conflict with neighbor Pakistan, Skons said. \"Just a few years ago, it looked like they would be able to reach a peaceful settlement,\" she said. \"Now India has increased (military spending) again.\" The report is based on official national budgets in most cases, and independent studies for countries like China, where, Skons said, \"it's obvious that the official figures are very wrong.\" The government-funded institute estimated that China increased it defense budget by about 10% in 2004, to $35.4 billion — a figure that is about 70% above the government's official figure, Skons said. Petter Stalenheim, co-author of the report, said India's large increase in military spending might be a way of challenging neighbor China as the supreme power in Asia but there was little sign of a growing arms race between the countries. \"Objectively, you can see that both India and China are increasing their military expenses by a rather large percentage,\" Stalenheim said. \"But at the same time, neither one says they're directed toward each other.\" The report also said China, which traditionally imported military equipment from Russia, is increasingly turning to other countries. \"(China) is very much dependent on Russia, and being dependent is not something that any country would like,\" SIPRI researcher Siemon Wezeman said. \"What their wish would be is to become an independent producer of everything they need.\" However, it may take as long as 50 years for China to catch up with the West in arms production, he said. The United States accounted for 47% of all military expenditure while Britain and France each made up 5% of the total. In all, 15 countries accounted for 82% of the world's total military spending. The arms trade also grew sharply, with the top 100 makers of weapons increasing their combined sales by 25% between 2002 and 2003, the report said. Those companies sold weapons and arms worth $236 billion worldwide in 2003, compared to $188 billion a year earlier. The United States accounted for 63% of all arms sales in 2003, the report said. While conflicts in the Middle East were responsible for much of military spending, the rest of the world is also laying out more on security, the report said. \"It's hard to put the United States in the center, or blame everything on the U.S.,\" said Alyson J.K. Bailes, the think tank's director. \"Despite all the ongoing problems, the state of world security is a great deal better than it was in the Cold War,\" Bailes said.

After vandals damaged the campground last month and critics besieged Fischer with negative e-mails, phone calls and letters, the pastor said she's shutting down the camp for at least several years.\n\"I don't think we'll be doing it for a while,\" she said.\nFischer lives in Bismarck, N.D., and is chief pastor at The Fire Center, a church devoted to children's ministry there. She has run the weeklong \"Kids on Fire\" summer camp, which is featured in the film, since 2002, with 75 to 100 children attending each year.\nThe documentary also includes scenes of Haggard, the evangelical leader accused of gay sex and drug use.\nIn one scene, directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady visit Haggard's 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo.

[ { "language": "fr", "title": "Israël : courte victoire de Kadima, sévère recul du Likoud", "text": "JERUSALEM, ENVOYE SPECIAL. Juste après 23 heures, selon les sondages de sortie d'urnes, le parti fondé par Ariel Sharon remportait entre 29 et 31 députés. Le parti travailliste se maintenait entre 20 et 22 mandats. C'est la déroute pour le Likoud qui passe de 40 à 11-12 sièges.\nJérusalem, envoyé spécial\nLa victoire annoncée d'Ehud Olmert, tête de liste de Kadima (En avant !) est courte. Bien plus courte que ne le laissaient présager les sondages ces derniers jours. Les sondages sorties des urnes des 3 grandes chaînes de télévision lui attribuaient entre 29 et 32 députés, qui suffisent à son chef pour former une coalition gouvernementale, pour laquelle il a été déjà mis en place une équipe de négociateurs. Son allié immédiat, Amir Peretz, qui se voit créditer de 20 à 22 mandats à réussi à redresser une situation compromise à la fois par sa propre prestation en début de campagne, la désertion de nombre de membres du parti travailliste, en raison de son origine marocaine, et du passage à Kadima de transfuges comme Shimon Pérès ou Haïm Ramon, « l'inventeur » du « big bang » politique qui a permis la formation de la liste Kadima.\nLes deux autres triomphateurs de cette consultation sont l'un, attendu, Israël béténou (Israël, notre foyer), le parti d'Avigdor Lieberman, qui recrute essentiellement dans les rangs des Russes. Ses quelque 12 à 14 députés lui offrent une réelle force. Et surtout, il surpasse le Likoud. Le second, improbable, est celui de la liste des retraités, entre 6 et 7 sièges, dont le dirigeant est un ancien responsable des services de sécurité, Raphy Eytan. Il appartient à cette figure politique récurrente du suffrage proportionnel d'Israël : une catégorie marginale affirmant, haut et fort, ses intérêts, à la faveur d'une consultation. Au demeurant, de nombreux jeunes, désireux d'exprimer leur désaveu du jeu politique habituel ou une forme d'opposition ironique, ont voté pour une liste qui défend leurs grands-parents.\nLe grand perdant est le Likoud, qui trébuche de 40 mandats à 11-12 sièges. Le parti qui, depuis 1977, a dirigé la vie d'Israël, l'exception des mandats d'Ytshak Rabin et d'Ehud Barak, auquel Ariel Sharon a offert deux victoires successives et qu'il a quitté, se disloque, tout comme son dirigeant, Benyalmin Nétanyahou, devra en rabattre de ses prétentions à diriger le «camp national».\nEnfin, le fait majeur de ce scrutin est le faible taux de participation, le plus bas de l'histoire du pays: 63%. Toute la journée, les chefs de partis ont rameuté leurs électeurs. Kadima a envoyé des centaines de milliers de SMS pour appeler à voter. De même, des militants de ce parti se sont rendus aux urnes pour expliquer aux russophones la différence entre les homophones Ken (Oui) inscrits sur les bulletins de Kadima et le Ken (Nid) de la «Feuille verte» (pour la légalisation du cannabis).\nLa déclaration d'Ehud Olmert, quelques jours avant le scrutin, selon laquelle «d'ores et déjà, les résultats sont bouclés» n'a pas peu fait pour dissuader les électeurs de se déplacer pour voter en sa faveur. Devant le faible taux de participation, le président de l'Etat, Moché Katsav, comme la présidente de la Commission électorale centrale, la juge Dorit Beinish, ont appelé les électeurs à «accomplir leur devoir démocratique». Selon le professeur Avraham Diskin de l'Université hébraïque de Jérusalem, chargé d'organiser un sondage sortie des urnes pour la Commission électorale centrale, à partir de 406 urnes, cette abstention «témoigne d'un phénomène de distanciation et de manque de confiance à l'égard du processus électoral et de la démocratie» de la part des citoyens.", "url": "http://liberation.fr/page.php?Article=370492", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060516034546/http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=370492" }, { "language": "en", "title": "title", "text": "Advertisement But Pensioners party chief Rafi Eitan said Wednesday that Labor had no been in touch with him on the issue, nor had he heard of the initiative.

Nascido na Coreia do Norte, ele era fundador da Igreja da Unificação. Ele estava internado num hospital próximo à sua residência, em Seul.\nDe acordo com a agência de notícias AP, Sun Myung Moon estava hospitalizado em decorrência de uma pneumonia. Ele deixa viúva sua segunda esposa e, ao todo, dez filhos.\nO reverendo era fundador e presidente da Federação das Famílias para a Unificação e Paz Mundial, conhecida no Brasil como a Associação das Famílias.

O patrono da Igreja da Unificação chegou a ser investigado em uma CPI na Assembleia Legislativa de Mato Grosso do Sul em 2002. Na época, a igreja já havia comprado cerca de 80 mil hectares para suas instalações.\nForam oito audiências, em que prestaram depoimento membros da comunidade e funcionários e pessoas que haviam vendido as terras. Informações da Polícia Federal encaminhadas à Assembleia durante as investigações indicavam que o patrimônio da associação alcançava os R$ 300 milhões, ainda que um dos reverendos ouvidos pelos parlamentares tenha dito que os bens somavam aproximadamente R$ 60 milhões.\nAtendendo a um pedido da CPI, o Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (Incra) fez uma vistoria nas fazendas da associação. A comissão foi encerrada em dezembro de 2002.\nFoto de 14 de setembro de 2002 mostra o reverendo Sun Myung Moon e sua esposa Hak Ja Han Moon caminhando por um tapete vermelho em cerimônia no Manhattan Center de Nova York (Foto: Stephen Chernin/AP)\n'Império de negócios'\nA agência reproduz ainda uma informação do site de Moon, que dizia ter sido torturado e mandado para um campo de trabalhos forçados quando pregava na Coreia após a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Após vagar pela cidade de Busan, no sul, como um refugiado de guerra, teria construído a sua primeira igreja nessa região a partir de caixas de rações militares.\nJá o obituário da AP lembra que a Igreja da Unificação envolveu-se em controvérsia em razão de suas estratégias para atrair fiéis. O texto diz que pais dos seguidores da seita nos Estados Unidos e em outros país mostravam preocupação de que seus filhos estivessem sofrendo \"lavagem cerebral\". A igreja teria respondido que diversas outras religiões haviam enfrentado acusações semelhantes nos períodos imediatamente posteriores às suas respectivas fundações.\nRecentemente, contudo, a Igreja da Unificação \"concentrou-se em erguer um império no ramo dos negócios\", prossegue o obituário. O conglomerado inclui o jornal \"Washington Times\", o New Yorker Hotel, em Manhattan, a Universidade Bridgeport em Connecticut e ainda um hotel e uma pequena montadora na Coreia do Norte.\nAlém disso, foram adquiridos uma estação de esqui, um time de futebol e outros negócios na Coréia do Sul, bem como uma empresa de distribuição de frutos do mar que vende sushi para restaurantes japoneses nos Estados Unidos.\nEm 14 outubro de 2009 casais de todo o mundo participam de uma cerimônia de casamento em massa organizados pela igreja da Unificação do reverendo Moon ao sul de Seul, na Coreia do Sul.

De agora em diante era a ele, Sun Myung Moon, que incumbia para completar a sua missão inacabada.\"\nDe acordo com a AP, Moon explicou, em biografia publicada em 2009, por que a ideia de casamentos coletivos era fundamental à propagação de seus propósitos. \"Casamentos entre pessoas de diferentes países e culturas são a maneira mais rápida de se conseguir um mundo ideal de paz\", teria dito. \"As pessoas devem se casar (...) com aqueles que consideram seus inimigos.\"\nAo longo da vida, o reverendo Moon cultivou boas relações com os ex-presidentes americanos Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan e George W.

A chegada em massa dos orientais à pequena cidade causou toda espécie de estranhamento. Os seguidores de Moon foram acusados de estar na região para extrair órgãos de criancinhas e mandá-los para uma rede mundial de traficantes. Também corria a história de que o vinho servido na fazenda continha sangue do próprio reverendo.

Se não, que fosse embora. Era natural que a hierarquia católica se incomodasse com os seguidores de Moon. Para eles, a mãe de Cristo não era virgem nem o pai era José.

Cette fois, le rejet, mardi, par la plus haute juridiction togolaise, des recours déposés tant par ses partisans ­ alléguant de destructions d'urnes par l'opposition ­ que par ses adversaires ­ pour le vote de centaines de milliers d'électeurs fantômes notamment ­, ouvre la voie à une rapide prestation de serment qui mettra le nouveau président en position de constituer un gouvernement. Faisant suite aux promesses d'ouverture et \"réconciliation nationale\" du fils d'Eyadéma, son directeur de campagne, Komi Klassou, a appelé de ses voeux la constitution d'un \"gouvernement de transition pendant six mois\" . La capitale, qui avait connu trois jours d'émeutes après la publication des résultats provisoires, la semaine dernière, est restée calme mardi ­ quadrillée par la police et l'armée. Les partis de l'opposition regroupés derrière le candidat Emmanuel Bob Akitani (crédité de 38,25 % des voix) affirment leur net refus de participer au gouvernement de \"large union\" promis par M. Gnassingbé. Ils ont appelé à une \"résistance populaire\" et promis \"des insomnies\" au nouveau chef de l'Etat. \"Nous ne pouvons pas entrer dans le gouvernement de quelqu'un -Faure Gnassingbé- qui représente moins de 10 % des électeurs\" , a, pour sa part, déclaré au Monde Gilchrist Olympio, l'opposant historique exilé au Ghana qui n'avait pas été autorisé à se présenter à la présidentielle. M. Olympio estime que le résultat proclamé mardi ne fait qu'annoncer \"la continuation du règne de \"Gnassingbé 1er\" -le général Eyadéma-\" . Persuadé que l'opposition a en réalité remporté l'élection, le président de l'UFC (Union des forces de changement) réclame de nouveaux scrutins présidentiel et législatif dans les six mois. L'\"ouverture\" promise pourrait mettre en scène d'autres opposants, plus modérés, ayant participé à des gouvernements sous le général Eyadéma. L'une de ces personnalités, Edem Kodjo, ancien premier ministre et ancien secrétaire général de l'Organisation de l'unité africaine, a indiqué, mardi soir au Monde, qu'il \"ne refusera pas de servir -son- pays\" , tout en assurant ne pas avoir été sollicité. M. Kodjo estime qu'un \"large gouvernement d'union nationale\" devrait organiser des élections législatives et locales afin d'obtenir \"une représentation plus large\" que la présidentielle, et reprendre le dialogue avec l'Union européenne pour \"redresser la situation des droits de l'homme\" . Désormais en effet, c'est sur la scène internationale que se joue l'avenir du Togo. L'opposition revendique l'intervention de l'Union africaine, de l'ONU et surtout de l'UE. M. Olympio annonce pour jeudi sa venue à Paris. Quant au nouveau président proclamé, il est en contact étroit avec l'UE dont le commissaire chargé du développement, Louis Michel, dit \"multiplier les contacts pour éviter un dérapage majeur\" . A Paris, un diplomate ayant la haute main sur la politique africaine de la France explique qu'il faut être réaliste : \"en Afrique, en dehors des chefs d'Etat, il n'y a pas d'alternative en matière d'autorité\" . C'est au fond le raisonnement que Paris a suivi à propos du scrutin présidentiel au Togo, faisant valoir qu'\"il n'y a pas eu plus de fraude qu'en Afghanistan ou au Zimbabwe\" . Dans le cas du Togo, poursuit cet interlocuteur, il faut se demander si \"le moindre mal n'est pas d'entériner le scrutin, dans le but d'éviter une guerre civile\" . Ensuite, il faudra \"peser sur le président fraîchement élu, pour qu'il fasse des gestes d'ouverture\" envers l'opposition. Faure Gnassingbé, estime-t-on de même source française, \"ne partage en rien les convictions politiques de son père, mais, évidemment, il ne faut pas que les opposants jouent la politique du pire...\" . Reste l'épineuse question de l'ex-ministre de l'intérieur, François Esso Boko, réfugié à l'ambassade d'Allemagne à Lomé. Paris n'est pas mécontent que l'intéressé ait choisi l'Allemagne plutôt que la France, mais, comme il faut bien l'\"exfiltrer\" , \"cela ne nous gênerait pas qu'il soit accueilli sur le territoire français\" , concède ce diplomate. Mardi soir, le quai d'Orsay se déclarait \"prêt à l'accueillir\" , mettant en avant la nationalité française de son épouse. M. Michel, lui, assurait avoir reçu l'accord du nouvel homme fort du Togo afin d'obtenir ce qui n'allait pas de soi : que M. Boko puisse quitter le pays sain et sauf.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Farewell to the bad boy", "text": "James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, always had an impeccable sense of style and occasion. How appropriate then that the man who called himself Soul Brother Number One died on Christmas Day.\nHe died yesterday at the age of 73, after being taken to hospital on Sunday in the US city of Atlanta with pneumonia.\nBrown was born in Barnwell, South Carolina, on May 3, 1933. Like most blacks of his era he grew up in extreme poverty and worked at menial jobs until, after a brief time in a juvenile detention centre, he formed James Brown with the Famous Flames.\nThe first song he recorded with this up-tempo gospel group was Please, Please, Please, which became an instant hit and sold more than a million copies in 1956. Over a career that lasted 50 years, Brown became one of the most influential popular musicians of the 20th century.\nHis musical contribution was simple. Brown took the gospel music of his childhood and the rhythm'n'blues he heard in the juke joints of Atlanta, Georgia, blended them together, made the gospel very secular, and helped create music we now know as soul and funk. These musical forms came to dominate dance and popular music in the latter half of the 20th century.\nIt was probably enough that Brown was at the centre of this vital part of the evolution of popular music. That would have ensured his place in musical history. But, in recent times, he has been lionised by contemporary rap and hip hop performers and his classic songs - Please, Please, Please; Papa's Got A Brand New Bag; I Got You (I Feel Good); and It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World - have been sampled over and again. They remain vital benchmarks in the history of soul.\nThere had been flat periods in Brown's career, but after the release of Live at the Apollo in 1962 - considered by many to be the greatest live recording in the history of popular music - he was recognised as one of pop music's great iconic figures.\nThis accolade was nurtured by Brown, who had no doubt about his own status and ability. When being interviewed he insisted on being addressed as \"Mr Brown\" and was known to terminate an interview if a journalist was so familiar as to refer to him as \"James\". Equally, he constantly, like a musical Muhammad Ali, referred to himself with outrageous hyperbole as Mr Dynamite, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, the Boss, the Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk and, most frequently, the Godfather of Soul.", "url": "http://www.smh.com.au/news/music/farewell-to-the-bad-boy/2006/12/25/1166895240423.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070228223228/http://www.smh.com.au/news/music/farewell-to-the-bad-boy/2006/12/25/1166895240423.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Mr Dynamite, James Brown Died While Hospitalized For Pneumonia", "text": "Self-proclaimed “Godfather of Soul,” singer James Brown was hospitalized over the weekend to treat his severe pneumonia and died on Monday, his agent reported. The cause of death is yet unknown.\nThe African American entertainer was taken to the Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday to get treatment for pneumonia and died early Monday at about 1:45 a.m. His agent, Frank Copsidas, said his old friend, Charles Bobbit was by his side when it happened.\nRegarding the cause of death, Copsidas said \"We really don't know at this point what he died of.\"\n\"On Friday he had his toy giveaway, which is his annual toy giveaway in Augusta, Georgia.\n\"On Saturday, he went to his dentist up in Atlanta, and his dentist told him something was wrong, and he sent him to a doctor immediately,\" Copsidas explained.\nRelatives of the popular funk and soul singer were being informed of the death.\nIn 2004, Brown underwent surgery for treatment of prostate cancer. The treatment was successful, and Brown spent his final years largely on the road, on his \"Seven Decades Of Funk World Tour.\"\nAt the time, he described how he planned to carry on as a performer, saying: \"Everyone's got soul, whether it's talking, hip-hop, rap, gospel.\n\"We've gotta just stay with whatever we do.\n\"I don't wanna change, because then I'd have to name myself Sam Smith or Ted Wright or somebody. I'm going to be James Brown.\"\nAccording to his official website, Brown was preparing to return to the road with New Year's weekend shows in New Jersey and New York, which would have kicked off a 2007 tour itinerary booked through August of 2007 at the time of his death.\nBrown’s friend of 15 years, Pete Allman, a radio personality in Las Vegas praised the music industry’s most hardworking man for his ambition and for motivating him personally and professionally.\n“He was a very positive person. There was no question he was the hardest working man in show business,\" Allman said. \"I remember Mr. Brown as someone who always motivated me, got me reading the Bible.\"\nThe star who was famous for hits including “I Got You (I Feel Good),” “Papa's Got a Brand New Bag” and “Living in America,” is credited with bringing the word “funk” into mainstream musical vernacular and influencing a new generation of black music that spawned rap and hip-hop.\n\"He is such an influence, I learned so much from him,\" Mr Copsidas told the BBC World Service.\nFor the past 50 years, James Brown together with other artists like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, brought a major contribution to the music business and is still an inspiration for many other artists.\nHis rapid-footed dancing inspired Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson among others. Songs such as David Bowie's \"Fame,\" Prince's \"Kiss,\" George Clinton's \"Atomic Dog\" and Sly and the Family Stone's \"Sing a Simple Song\" were clearly based on Brown's rhythms and vocal style.\n\"James presented obviously the best grooves,\" rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy once told The Associated Press. \"To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close.\nIn 1992, Brown was honored with a Grammy for lifetime achievements and in 1965 or \"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag\" (best R&B recording) and for \"Living In America\" in 1987 (best R&B vocal performance, male.) He was one of the initial artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, along with Presley, Chuck Berry and other founding fathers.\nDuring his career, he had more than 119 charting singles and recorded over 50 albums and was one of the first inductees into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame honored during the Hall's opening ceremony in 1986.", "url": "http://www.playfuls.com/news_00001956_Mr_Dynamine_James_Brown_Died_While_Hospitalized_For_Pneumonia.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070120083820/http://www.playfuls.com/news_00001956_Mr_Dynamine_James_Brown_Died_While_Hospitalized_For_Pneumonia.html" } ]

This eventually led to the study of the alkaloid compounds of ergot, a fungus which forms on rye.\nIn the Middle Ages, ergot was implicated in periodic outbreaks of mass poisonings, producing symptoms in two characteristic forms: one gangrenous (ergotismus gangraenosus) and the other convulsive (ergotismus convulsivus). Popular names such as \"mal des ardents\", \"ignis sacer\", \"heiliges feuer\" and \"St Anthony's fire\" refer to the gangrenous form of the condition.\nHofmann's studies led to many new discoveries, such as Hydergine, a medicament for improving circulation and cerebral function, and Dihydergot, a circulation and blood pressure stabilising medicine. His interest in synthesising LSD initially derived from the hope that it might also be useful as a circulatory and respiratory stimulant.\nBut when his molecule, known as LSD-25, was tested on animals, no interesting effects were observed, though the research notes recorded that the beasts became \"restless\" during narcosis. The substance was dismissed as of no interest and dropped from Sandoz's research programme.\nBut five years later, acting on some intuition, Hofmann decided to resynthesise LSD. In his autobiography, LSD, My Problem Child (1979), he recalled that in the final stage of the synthesis he was interrupted by some unusual sensations.\nIn a note to the laboratory's director, he reported \"a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination.\nIn a dreamlike state, with eyes closed, I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colours. After some two hours this condition faded away.\"\nHofmann concluded that he must have accidentally breathed in or ingested some laboratory material and assumed LSD was the cause. To test the theory he waited until the next working day, Monday April 19 1943, and tried again, swallowing 0.25 of a milligram. Forty minutes later, as his laboratory journal recorded, he experienced \"dizziness, feeling of anxiety, visual distortions, symptoms of paralysis, desire to laugh\". Unable to write any more, he asked his assistant to take him home by bicycle.\n\"On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had travelled very rapidly.\"\nBack home, when a friendly neighbour brought round some milk, he perceived her as a \"malevolent, insidious witch\" wearing \"a lurid mask\". After six hours of highs and lows, the effects subsided.\nSandoz, keen to make a profit from Hofmann's discovery, gave the new substance the trade name Delysid and began sending samples to psychiatric researchers. By 1965 more than 2,000 papers had been published offering hope for a range of conditions from drug and alcohol addiction to mental illnesses of various kinds. But the fact that the chemical was cheap and easy to make left it open to abuse, and from the late 1950s onwards, promoted by Dr Timothy Leary and others, LSD became the recreational drug of choice for western youth.\nAn outbreak of moral panic, combined with a number of accidents involving people jumping to their deaths off high buildings in the belief that they could fly, led governments around the world to ban LSD. Research also showed that the drug, taken in high doses and in inappropriate settings, often caused panic reactions. For certain individuals, a bad trip could be the trigger for full-blown psychosis.\nHofmann was disappointed when his discovery was removed from commercial distribution. He remained convinced that the drug had the potential to counter the psychological problems induced by \"materialism, alienation from nature through industrialisation and increasing urbanisation, lack of satisfaction in professional employment in a mechanised, lifeless working world, ennui and purposelessness in wealthy, saturated society, and lack of a religious, nurturing, and meaningful philosophical foundation of life\".\nAlbert Hofmann was born at Baden, Switzerland, on January 11 1906, the eldest of four children of a factory toolmaker. Having graduated from Zürich University with a degree in Chemistry in 1929, he took a doctorate on the gastro-intestinal juice of the vineyard snail. After leaving university he went to work for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, where he researched the medicinal properties of the Mediterranean squill (Scilla maritima) before moving on to the study of Claviceps purpurea (ergot).\nAs a result of the use of LSD as a recreational drug, Sandoz found itself bombarded with demands for information from regulatory bodies, along with demands for statements after accidents, poisonings, criminal acts and so forth from the press.\nFor scientists unaccustomed to the glare of publicity, it became a headache: \"I would rather you hadn't discovered LSD,\" Hofmann's managing director told him. In the end the decision was taken to stop all further production.\nHofmann laid some of the blame at the door of Dr Timothy Leary. In his autobiography he described meeting Leary in 1971 in the snack bar at Lausanne railway station. Hofmann began by voicing his regret that Leary's experiments had effectively killed off academic research into LSD and took Leary to task for encouraging its recreational use among young people.\nLeary was unabashed. \"He maintained that I was unjustified in reproaching him for the seduction of immature persons to drug consumption,\" Hofmann recalled. Leary further insisted that American teenagers \"with regard to information and life experience, were comparable to adult Europeans\" and were able to make up their own minds.\nHofmann continued to work at Sandoz until 1971, when he retired as director of research for the Department of Natural Products. In addition to his discovery of LSD, he was also the first to synthesise psilocybin (the active constituent of \"magic mushrooms\") in 1958; and he discovered the hallucinogenic principles of Ololiuqui (Morning Glory), lysergic acid amide and lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide.\nIn retirement Hofmann served as a member of the Nobel Prize Committee. He was a Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences, and a member of the International Society of Plant Research and of the American Society of Pharmacognosy.\nIn 1988 the Albert Hofmann Foundation was established \"to assemble and maintain an international library and archive devoted to the study of human consciousness and related fields\".\nAlbert Hofmann's wife, Anita, died in December. He was also predeceased by one of his four children.", "url": "http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1912485/Albert-Hofmann,-LSD-inventor,-dies.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080501042140/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1912485/Albert-Hofmann,-LSD-inventor,-dies.html" } ]

No podemos ignorar el desafío enorme que tenemos para nuestra seguridad por primera vez, al menos, desde el final de la Guerra Fría\".\nAlmunia ha argumentado que la situación de Ucrania, por motivos históricos, pero también por las consecuencias sobre la política energética que se pueden manifestar la próxima semana si no mejora la situación, \"puede haber una reacción que lleve a un 'shock' energético y que deje a países europeos en una situación muy difícil\".\nCrisis y oportunidades\nAlmunia ha constatado que la crisis continúa aunque la economía presenta signos de mejora, y ha añadido que el paro no se resolverá hasta que haya crecimiento: \"Si queremos crecimiento, una vez producidos los ajustes macroeconómicos, hay que ver dónde está la inversión, la financiación de la inversión y la demanda para lo que se va a invertir\".\nHa sostenido que la financiación está en vías de solución, y en cuanto a la inversión ha apuntado que hay que encontrar la manera de llenar las carteras de quienes pueden invertir, ya que hay oportunidades a nivel europeo bastante claras, como las infraestructuras físicas, energéticas y las relacionadas con las telecomunicaciones y la era digital: \"Ofrecen parte importante de la solución\".\n\"Hace falta voluntad política\", según él, y ha indicado que la Zona Euro está en vías de solucionar el desajuste fiscal y el de las balanzas por cuenta corriente de países de la periferia, pero tiene un problema de superávit exterior.\nAsí, ha explicado que la zona euro tiene un problema de exceso de ahorro que no se está utilizando para invertir, lo que genera un gran interrogante: \"No veo de dónde va a salir la capacidad de crecimiento para salir de la crisis y no estar al borde de la deflación. Éste es el desafío más urgente que van a tener las nuevas instituciones europeas\".\nFuturo político\nAnte la próxima legislatura europea, ha lamentado que en las elecciones se confirmaron los peores presagios con el alza de la extrema derecha y el antieuropeísmo: eso comporta riesgo de la unidad europea y de la democracia, porque parte del electorado \"empieza a no compartir valores fundamentales de la democracia\".\nAunque ve que las cuatro grandes familias políticas de la Eurocámara seguirán decidiendo, cree que el discurso de extrema derecha y antieuropeísmo puede \"ir contaminando\", de manera que se pregunta hasta qué punto se van a dejar influir los grandes grupos y cómo eso puede afectar al sistema público y al sistema de libertades europeo.\nSobre la desafección ante las instituciones europeas, hay dicho que incluso muchos partidos mayoritarios proeuropeos \"han cedido a la tentación de criticar a Bruselas a ver si pueden arañar por un lado o por otro\", en vez de admitir ante la opinión pública que muchas de las decisiones de la Eurocámara las han tomado ellos con sus eurodiputados.\nTambién se ha preguntado cuántos consejos europeos han tomado conclusiones que después se han transmitido a cada país \"sólo en clave nacional\", por lo que los ciudadanos no lo entienden bien y nadie les explica las ventajas de haber decidido algo en común desde Bruselas, de manera que la gente podría entender las ventajas de compartir soberanía.\nTras el debate, el presidente del Gobierno, Mariano Rajoy, y el del Círculo de Economía, Antón Costas, cerrarán la XXX Reunión del ente catalán de empresarios, patrocinada por KPMG, La Caixa e Indra.", "url": "http://www.cuatro.com/noticias/economia/Joaquin_Almunia-vicepresidente_de_la_CE-energia-mercado_energetico_0_1804425066.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160423000046/http://www.cuatro.com/noticias/economia/Joaquin_Almunia-vicepresidente_de_la_CE-energia-mercado_energetico_0_1804425066.html" } ]

Februar 2005 -- Unter dem Motto \"Keine Bananenrepublik - keine Softwarepatente - B-Punkt jetzt!\" gehen zur Zeit bundesweit Pakete mit Bananen und Protestbannern an das Bundesministerium der Justiz. Gleichzeitig wird Verbraucherschutzministerin Renate Künast aufgefordert, der drohenden Verabschiedung eines Richtlinienentwurfs durch den Rat der EU am Montag, den 28. Februar, entgegen zu treten.\nAnlass ist das Vorhaben des Ministerrates der EU, am Montag einen Standpunkt zur geplanten EU-Softwarepatent-Richtlinie zu verabschieden, der den Interessen der meisten Mitgliedsstaaten zuwider läuft und der gegen die Beschlüsse sowohl des Europäischen Parlamentes als auch gegen Resolutionen der Parlamente von fünf EU-Mitgliedsstaaten einschließlich des Deutschen Bundestages gerichtet ist. Kritiker weisen dem Ratstext nach, dass er über zahlreiche Hintertüren breite Ausschlussrechte auf reine Software nach US-amerikanischem Vorbild ermögliche und damit einer innovationsgefährdenden Durchsetzungspraxis zu Gunsten amerikanischer und japanischer Konzerne und zu Lasten kleinerer europäischer Unternehmen Vorschub leiste.\nDem in Deutschland federführenden BMJ werfen die Absender der Bananen vor, dass dessen Ignoranz aller parlamentarischen Beschlüsse und das Festhalten an einem unlegitimierten Richtlinienentwurf an die Zustände in einer Bananenrepublik erinnere. Bereits am 15. Februar hatten Demonstranten in einer Kundgebung vor dem BMJ sich dieses Motivs bedient und die Aufnahme von Verhandlungen im Rat der EU gefordert.\n(Kundgebung am 15. Februar vor dem BMJ. Quelle: FFII) - Große Version\nChristian Cornelssen vom Förderverein für eine Freie Informationelle Infrastruktur (FFII) e.V., kommentiert:\n\"Es ist leider immer noch nötig, das BMJ daran zu erinnern, dass unser Parlament in seiner von allen Fraktionen getragenen Entschließung die Richtlinie in dieser Form ablehnt und entscheidende Verbesserungen auf Ratsebene anmahnt. Dies kann nur geschehen, wenn die Richtlinie als B-Punkt verhandelt wird. Damit es dazu überhaupt kommen kann, muss am Montag der A-Punkt von der Tagesordnung genommen werden.\"\nAufgrund des Widerstandes aus einer Reihe von EU-Mitgliedstaaten fehlt dem Entwurf des Rates mittlerweile die nötige qualifizierte Mehrheit, um als \"Gemeinsamer Standpunkt\" verabschiedet zu werden. Dennoch hat die EU-Ratspräsidentschaft mehrmals versucht, den Text vom 18. Mai als so genannten \"A-Punkt\" auf die Tagesordnung zu setzen, d.h. als Text, der ohne weitere Diskussion und ohne ausdrückliche Abstimmung angegenommen werden könne. Gewählt wurde dafür stets ein Treffen der Minister eines fachfremden Ressorts, etwa der Landwirtschafts- und Fischereiminister, wie es auch am Montag wieder der Fall sein soll. Bislang scheiterten die Versuche daran, dass aufmerksame Minister darauf bestanden, die Verabschiedung des nicht mehr legitimierten Entwurfs von der Tagesordnung entfernen zu lassen.\nSeit dem 17. Februar 2005 liegt der Europäischen Kommission ein Beschluss des Europäischen Parlaments vor mit dem Antrag, das Gesetzgebungsverfahren zur umstrittenen Richtlinie komplett neu zu starten. Damit würde auch der umstrittene Ratstext bedeutungslos werden. Am Abend des gleichen Tages hat der Deutsche Bundestag einstimmig eine interfraktionelle Entschließung verabschiedet, welche erhebliche Mängel im Ratstext feststellt und die Bundesregierung zur Korrektur dieser Mängel auffordert. Die Abgeordneten aller Fraktionen begrüßen den Neustartantrag des Europäischen Parlaments und fordern von der Bundesregierung, insbesondere vom federführenden Bundesministerium der Justiz unter Brigitte Zypries, eine Abkehr von dem bisherigen Ratstext und eine Erwirkung der nötigen Korrekturen auf Ratsebene.\nTrotz des stetig gewachsenen Widerstandes aus den EU-Mitgliedsstaaten hat der Rat der EU bislang nicht zu einer Neuverhandlung des Entwurfs gefunden. Stattdessen soll nach dem Willen der luxemburgischen Ratspräsidentschaft am nächsten Montag ein erneuter Versuch gestartet werden, den Entwurf vom Mai 2004, der weniger Unterstützung genießt als je zuvor, ohne erneute Diskussion durch fachlich nicht zuständige Minister verabschieden zu lassen. Die deutsche Delegation wird von der grünen Verbraucherschutzministerin Renate Künast geleitet. Nach dem Willen der Unterstützer der Parlamentsbeschlüsse soll sie wie zuvor die Minister anderer Länder dafür sorgen, dass der A-Punkt des unlegitimierten Entwurfs von der Tagesordnung entfernt wird.\nKontakt\nJan Wildeboer, janwilde at ffii.org, +49-174-7917833\nChristian Cornelssen, ccorn at ffii.org, +49-160-3831686\nStephan Uhlmann, uhlmann at ffii.org, +49-170-4225008\nÜber den FFII -- http://www.ffii.org\nDer FFII ist ein in München eingetragener gemeinnütziger Verein für Volksbildung im Bereich der Datenverarbeitung.

Damit es dazu überhaupt kommen kann, muss am Montag der A-Punkt von der Tagesordnung genommen werden.\nDie Deutsche Post AG feiert sich am heutigen Freitag 25.2.2005 mit einem Freipaket-Freitag.

Februar 2005 -- Ein Mitarbeiterin im Bundesministeriums für Verbraucherschutz, Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (BMVEL) erklärt im Auftrag der Ministering Renate Künast einem anfragenden Bürger, dass die Ministerin beabsichtigt, den Weisungen ihrer Regierung entsprechend am kommenden Montag im Landwirtschafts- und Fischreirat die \"politische Vereinbarung\" zu Softwarepatenten vom 18. Mai 2004 als A-Punkt abzunicken. Darauf werde eine zweite Lesung des Europäischen Parlaments folgen.\nDie zentralen Aussagen\nDer Gemeinsame Standpunkt wird am Montag formal bestätigt\nFrau Künast handelt nur im Auftrag des federführenden Justizministeriums\nA-Punkt Abstimmungen finden ohne Diskussion statt, und die Fachminister müssen sich an die interne Regierungsabstimmung halten\nFrau Künast setzt sich dafür ein, dass die Position des Bundestags in die Richtlinie Eingang findet\nZuweisung der Änderungsarbeit an die Europaparlamentarier\nDer Brief\nSehr geehrter Herr Klein,\nIch schreibe Ihnen im Auftrag von Renate Künast. Am 28.02. wird der \"Gemeinsamen Standpunkts\" zur Richtlinie über die Patentierbarkeit computerimplementierter Erfindungen auf dem Treffen der Agrar- und Fischereiminister formal bestätigt.\nSie kritisieren, dass Frau Künast nicht diesen Punkt \"abnicken\" wird . Die genannte Richtlinie fällt nicht in das Ressort von Verbraucherschutzministerin Künast sondern von Justizministerin Zypries. Frau Künast kann aus diesem Grund nicht eigenmächtig über eine Absetzung der Richtlinie von der A-Punkt-Liste entscheiden. Dies kann für die Bundesregierung nur das federführende Justizministerium tun. Es ist dem europäischen A-Punkt-Verfahren zu verdanken, dass dieser Punkt überhaupt auf die Tagesordnung des Agrarrates kommt. Da hier die inhaltliche Diskussion schon im Vorfeld und durch die fachlich zuständigen Gremien stattgefunden hat, kann jeder Fachministerrat, unabhängig von dessen eigener Zuständigkeit, über einen so genannten A-Punkt abstimmen. Hierbei erfolgt keine inhaltliche Diskussion mehr. Die Fachminister fungieren in diesem Fall als Stellvertreter ihrer Regierungen und müssen sich an die Ergebnisse der internen Regierungsabstimmung halten. Frau Künast setzt sich jedoch dafür ein, dass der existierende Entwurf jetzt im Sinne der vom Bundestag formulierten Bedenken und der Vorschläge des interfraktionellen Antrags 15/4403 verbessert wird. Diese Bedenken können sowohl bei der nun erforderlich gewordenen Neubefassung des Rates zum \"Gemeinsamen Standpunkt\", als auch im weiteren parlamentarischen Verfahren Eingang finden. Nächster Schritt nach dem \"Gemeinsamen Standpunkt\" ist die 2. Lesung des Europäischen Parlaments. Die konstruktiven und von der Bundesregierung begrüßten Vorschläge des interfraktionellen Antrags geben den Europa-Abgeordneten wichtige Anregungen für deren eigene Arbeiten an dem Richtlinienentwurf. Wenn die 2. Lesung in ein Vermittlungsverfahren mündet, ist dies auch bei der weiteren Positionierung der Bundesregierung im Rat zu berücksichtigen.\nMit freundlichen Grüßen,\n[Name der Mitarbeiterin]\n-- MdB Renate Künast Deutscher Bundestag Platz der Republik 1 11011 Berlin\nKommentar des Briefempfängers Thomas Klein\n...diese \"Bedenken\" können (!) Eingang finden in die Ratssitzung oder das weitere parlamentarische Verfahren\nGerade der letzte Punkt klingt nicht so, als würde Deutschland am Montag tatsächlich in unserem Sinne etwas tun. Und dann, Zitat: \"Nächster Schritt nach dem 'Gemeinsamen Standpunkt' ist die 2. Lesung des Europäischen Parlaments.\"\nHallo, was ist mit Neustart des Verfahrens? Will der Rat das Parlament jetzt doch überrollen?\nUpdate\nvon cmdecker: 25.

Nächster Schritt sei die 2. Lesung des Direktivenvorschlags im EU-Parlament. Anzeige\nDie Ansage ließ bei Softwarepatentgegnern sämtliche Alarmglocken schrillen, da die Spitze des EU-Abgeordnetenhauses am 17. Februar von der EU-Kommission die Vorlage eines neuen Richtlinienentwurfs und damit den Neustart des gesamten Gesetzgebungsverfahrens verlangt hatte. Am gestrigen Donnerstag stellte sich das EU-Parlament als Ganzes noch einmal hinter das Begehr, indem es einen Antrag zum Wiederaufrollen der Richtlinie im Plenum durch den Zuspruch aller Fraktionen im Plenum annahm. Mit einer Absegnung des Ratsstandpunktes wären die europäischen Volksvertreter folglich komplett überfahren worden. Ihnen haben zudem auch die nationalen Parlamente hierzulande, in den Niederlanden und in Spanien den Rücken gestärkt.\nLucien Michels, Presse-Attaché der luxemburgischen Ratspräsidentschaft in Brüssel, dementierte gegenüber heise online allerdings, dass die Patentrichtlinie auf der Tagesordnung für den Agrar- und Fischereirat stünde. Es sei auch nicht geplant, den Standpunkt des Rates vom Mai auf einer Ministerrunde in absehbarer Zeit offiziell zu verabschieden. Vielmehr warte man zunächst auf die formale Reaktion der Kommission auf den Neustartantrag aus dem Parlament. Dort hält sich der federführende Binnenmarktkommissar, Charlie McCreevy, allerdings nach wie vor bedeckt, was die Ausarbeitung eines neuen Richtlinienpapiers oder aber etwa die Einstellung oder Verschiebung des Verfahrens angeht. Der Ire sieht vielmehr den Rat am Zug. So gibt es denn auch noch Gerüchte, dass sich der Wettbewerbsrat am 7. März der Richtlinie doch wieder annehmen könnte. Er hatte die umstrittene Vereinbarung der Minister zunächst getroffen.\nDoch auch Parlamente der Mitgliedsstaaten lassen nicht locker. So bahnt sich in Dänemark ein Entschließungsantrag nach Vorbild des Bundestags an. Er soll die Regierung dort stärker als in Berlin binden und dazu verpflichten, in Brüssel ein Durchwinken des Ratsstandpunktes zu verhindern. \"Wir denken, dass so viele Leute Probleme in dem Vorschlag ausgemacht haben, dass wir die Regierung bitten sollten, momentan in der EU keine Entscheidung über eine Softwarepatentrichtlinie zu treffen\", wird Thomas Adelskov, IT-Sprecher der dänischen Sozialdemokraten, in Medienberichten zitiert. Auch das polnische Parlament will am Ball bleiben. Der Ratstext ist insbesondere in die Kritik geraten, weil er laut Experten zahlreiche Hintertüren für eine breite Patentierbarkeit reiner Software nach US-amerikanischem Vorbild öffnet und damit Wettbewerb und Innovation behindern könnte.\nDer Förderverein für eine Freie Informationelle Infrastruktur (FFII) hat sich derweil eine ungewöhnliche Form des Protests ausgedacht: Er fordert seine Anhänger auf, die Werbeaktion der Deutschen Post am heutigen Freitag zum kostenlosen Versand eines Paketes zu nutzen, um dem in Deutschland federführenden Bundesjustizministerium \"ein paar leckere Bananen\" zu senden. Schon am Donnerstag vor einer Woche demonstrierte der Mittelstandsverband in Brüssel unter dem Motto \"Keine Bananen-Republik\" gegen Softwarepatente, zwei Tage zuvor in Berlin. Dem Justizministerium werfen die Absender der Bananen vor, \"dass dessen Ignoranz aller parlamentarischen Beschlüsse und das Festhalten an einem unlegitimierten Richtlinienentwurf an die Zustände in einer Bananenrepublik erinnere\".\nZum Thema Softwarepatente siehe auch:\n) / ( jk /c't)", "url": "http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56805", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050227040946/http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56805" } ]

In December, Tehran accused Saudi Arabia of handing Amiri over to the United States.\n“America’s spying and intelligence agents from one side abduct some Iranian citizens ... and on the other side their treacherous agents kill an Iranian citizen inside the country,” an Iranian cabinet statement said, reported by the semi-official Fars news agency.\nA list of Ali-Mohammadi’s publications on Tehran University’s website suggested his specialism was theoretical particle physics, not nuclear energy, a Western physics professor said.\nThe bombing -- a rare attack in the Iranian capital -- occurred at a time of heightened tension in the Islamic Republic seven months after a disputed presidential election plunged the oil producer into turmoil.\nIt also coincided with a sensitive juncture in Iran’s row with the West over its nuclear ambitions, with global powers expected to meet in New York on Saturday to discuss possible new sanctions on Tehran over its refusal to halt its atomic work.\nEarlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry blamed Israel and the United States.\n“Signs of the triangle of wickedness by the Zionist regime (Israel), America and their hired agents, are visible in the terrorist act,” it said.\n“Such terrorist acts and the apparent elimination of the country’s nuclear scientists will definitely not obstruct scientific and technological processes,” it said.\nWhite House spokesman Bill Burton said the accusations were absurd. A senior Israeli official said Ali-Mohammadi was not known to have been a significant figure in any military nuclear program.\nBOOBY-TRAPPED MOTORBIKE\nEnglish-language Press TV said Ali-Mohammadi was killed in a northern part of the capital by a booby-trapped motorcycle as he was leaving his home. It showed footage of blood stains, broken glass and other debris at the scene, with what appeared to be the dead man in a body bag taken away on a stretcher.\nSlideshow ( 8 images )\nFars said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had ordered the intelligence and security services to use all their capabilities to find those behind the killing.\nState broadcaster IRIB described al-Mohammadi as a “committed and revolutionary” professor, suggesting he backed Ahmadinejad’s government. Fars quoted one of his students as saying he had worked with the elite Revolutionary Guards until 2003.\nBut an opposition website, Jaras, said he was an opposition supporter whose name was among hundreds of academics who issued a statement in favor of moderate candidate Mirhossein Mousavi during the campaign for last June’s election.\nEven if he had worked on Iran’s nuclear program, analysts doubted his death could set back Tehran’s aspirations.\nSlideshow ( 8 images )\n“I have no reason to think that this is part of an Israeli or American strategy to deprive Iran of the brains of the enrichment process,” said Mark Fitzpatrick, chief proliferation analyst at London’s International Institute for Strategic Studies. “There are by now too many scientists and engineers with the requisite expertise”.\nSTRATFOR, a global intelligence firm, said Ali-Mohammadi was unlikely to have been a key figure in nuclear activities since his publishing record pointed to purely academic research.\n“The relatively high visibility and volume of work in academia suggests that Ali-Mohammadi’s role, if any, in the nuclear program was not very significant,” STRATFOR said in an analysis. “Critical scientists involved in nuclear weapons programs usually are sequestered carefully and provided more security than Ali-Mohammadi was given.”\nFars quoted a foreign-based group, the Iran Monarchy Association, as claiming responsibility for Tuesday’s bombing. It did not say how it obtained the statement.\nIran has been convulsed by its most serious domestic unrest since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 as protests by opposition supporters against the election result have turned violent.

The reports blamed the United States and Israel for the attack.\nThere was no immediate claim of responsibility. One state broadcaster, IRIB, quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying that “in the initial investigation, signs of the triangle of wickedness by the Zionist regime, America and their hired agents are visible in the terrorist act” against the scientist, Masoud Ali Mohammadi.\nA State Department spokesman in Washington dismissed the accusation of United States involvement as “absurd.”\nTwo other people were wounded in the blast, which was powerful enough to shatter the windows in a nearby four-story building, mangle window frames and blow a garage door out of its frame. The BBC Persian service reported that the jolt led neighbors to assume that there had been an earthquake.\nThe English-language Press TV said Mr. Ali Mohammadi, 50, taught neutron physics at Tehran University, although he did not seem to have any connections to Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.\nTwo Iranian academics, who would speak only anonymously for fear of official reprisals, said in telephone interviews that he had specialized in particle and theoretical physics. The Web site of Tehran University lists him as a professor of elementary particle physics.\nA spokesman for Iran’s atomic agency, Ali Shirzadian, told The Associated Press that Mr. Ali Mohammadi had no link with the agency responsible for Iran’s nuclear program.\nWhile Press TV called the professor a “staunch supporter of the Islamic Revolution” of 1979, that claim seemed dubious.\nAli Moghari, the director of the science department of Tehran University, described Mr. Ali Mohammadi as an “apolitical professor,” the semiofficial Mehr news agency reported. “He was a well-known professor but was not politically active,” he was quoted as saying.\nThere were some indications that he might have been taking a more active role in the opposition that sprang up after the flawed presidential election last June. Mr. Ali Mohammadi was among 240 university professors who signed a letter before the election expressing support for the main opposition candidate, Mir Hussein Moussavi.\nAfter a brutal crackdown, the authorities late last year broadened efforts to stifle dissent to encompass the educational system, hinting that dissident professors would be purged. A number of hard-line clerics have called for the university humanities curriculums to be further Islamized. But it was not immediately known whether Tuesday’s killing was related to that dispute.\nAnalysts said the Iranian authorities seemed to have been quick to label Mr. Ali Mohammadi a loyalist, possibly as a precursor to renewed, harsh action against their opponents.\n“This is an old trick,” said a former senior official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. “They did it themselves but blame it on opposition groups so that they can easily begin issuing death sentences for protesters. I think this means there could be more violence against the opposition.”\nThe authorities have already announced plans to try five protesters on a charge of “fighting against God,” which carries a death sentence for those who are convicted.\nSeven leaders of the minority Bahai religious group were tried Tuesday in Tehran in closed proceedings, the Human Rights Activist News Agency, an opposition Web site, reported. The seven, who have been in jail for more than 20 months, were charged with committing religious offenses and trying to disrupt national unity. Recently, Iranian officials have accused Bahai leaders of fomenting the street demonstrations.\nLast week, pro-government demonstrators shot at the armored car of Iran’s most outspoken opposition leader, Mehdi Karroubi, his Saham News Web site reported.\nThat attack appeared to reflect growing frustration that the crackdown in recent months had failed to stop the opposition from lashing out at the country’s leaders and staging intermittent protests that brought tens of thousands of demonstrators into the streets.\nThe Web site of Iran’s state television declared the bombing a “terrorist act by counterrevolutionaries and elements of arrogance,” a reference to the United States. Security forces are investigating, The Associated Press quoted the report as saying.\nLast year, an Iranian nuclear scientist, Shahram Amiri, disappeared during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia; Iran accused the United States of helping to kidnap him.\nThe United States and its Western allies have been pressing Iran to halt its nuclear enrichment program, which Tehran insists is solely for civilian purposes to produce electricity. But the West fears that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, which would threaten Israel and upset the regional power balance.\nSpeaking Monday at the start of a nine-day trip across the Pacific, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States and its allies were discussing financial sanctions that would appear to be aimed at Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and other political players if diplomacy fails to overcome the growing tensions with Iran.\n“It is clear that there is a relatively small group of decision makers inside Iran,” she said. “They are in both political and commercial relationships, and if we can create a sanctions track that targets those who actually make the decisions, we think that is a smarter way to do sanctions.”\nBut, she added, “all that is yet to be decided upon.”", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/middleeast/13iran.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100114032142/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/middleeast/13iran.html" } ]

This puts it a massive 13 points behind National – the biggest gap since National surged in popularity after leader Don Brash's race relations speech at Orewa in 2004. Prime Minister Helen Clark is also less popular, though she remains ahead of Dr Brash as preferred prime minister. She is on 33 per cent support with Dr Brash on 17. The news is not all good for Dr Brash, however – finance spokesman John Key, widely rumoured to be likely to mount a putsch early next year, has risen to 11 per cent support. National's support has remained steady on 49 per cent and the Greens – the only other party to break the 5 per cent threshold – are steady on 6 per cent. NZ First registered 3 per cent support, up two points, and the Maori Party is on 2 per cent, down one point. ACT and United Future have one per cent support. The poll results are likely to fuel grumblings over perceived failings in Labour's political management in recent months, after the Phillip Field allegations and the election-pledge controversy. Advertisement Advertisement The Field controversy was allowed to drag on for months before Miss Clark suspended him. Mr Field is under police investigation for bribery after a series of claims were made before and after the election about his assistance to a Thai tiler and other immigrants. Labour's handling of the pledge card controversy has also been politically disastrous. Miss Clark and other senior Labour ministers insisted for weeks that the party had done nothing wrong after a leaked report by Auditor-General Kevin Brady identified election spending, including the pledge card, that he said was unlawful. Labour strategist Pete Hodgson added fuel to the fire when he said Labour would not pay the money back. The party has ended up with the worst possible outcome – public displeasure has forced it to pay the money back, and legislation validating the election spending was rushed through Parliament to get the issue off the agenda before the end of the year. Labour MPs will contribute about 5 per cent of their salary and the party will fundraise to pay the $825,000 owed.\n»EMAIL THIS STORY\n»PRINTABLE VERSION\n»SUBSCRIBE TO FREE HEADLINES\n»SUBSCRIBE TO ARCHIVESTUFF", "url": "http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3837601a11,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20061104144431/http://stuff.co.nz/stuff/0%2C2106%2C3837601a11%2C00.html" } ]

USA TODAY\nA file photo dated October 2010 and made available by the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) shows a 'Musudan' missile displayed during a military parade. (Photo: KCNA, EPA)\nTOKYO – An apparent attempt by North Korea to fire a medium-range ballistic missile Friday has failed, according to a U.S. defense official and South Korean leaders.\nThe attempted launch was the latest in a string of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile tests that have raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula and led to a tightening of international sanctions in recent months.\nNorth Korea attempted to launch a missile at 4:33 p.m. EDT, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The missile was detected and tracked by the U.S. Strategic Command systems and was assessed to be a failure, the official told USA TODAY.\nSouth Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that North Korea fired a mobile Musudan, or BM-25, missile early Friday, but that the launch failed.\n“It was a fiery, catastrophic attempt at a launch that was unsuccessful,” said Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, the Associated Press reported. He said the U.S. believes it was likely a road-mobile missile but is still assessing, according to the AP.\nThe launch was closely monitored by U.S. ships in the region.\n\"We were aware of North Korea's announcement of their rocket launch and monitored the situation with our allies Japan and South Korea. I can’t get into specifics of the operation, but … with our AEGIS ships, we do have a robust missile-defense capability for the region,\" Cmdr. Bill Clinton, spokesman for the U.S. 7th Fleet, in Japan, told USA TODAY.\nEarlier, Yonhap News Agency reported that South Korea had detected signs that the North had deployed one or two Musudan ballistic missiles in the eastern city of Wonsan.\n“This latest missile test is just one in a steady stream — an outpouring, really — of North Korean efforts to publicly demonstrate the strength of their nuclear weapons program. (North Korean leader) Kim Jong Un is sending a clear message: ‘The new round of sanctions will not stop us,’” said John Delury, an associate professor at Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies, in Seoul.\nFriday’s launch appeared to be timed to coincide with the 104th anniversary of the birthday of the country's late founder Kim Il Sung.\nThe North's official Korean Central News Agency reported last month that Kim Jong Un issued an order to test a nuclear warhead and ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads\nFriday’s attempted launch was the first test-launch by North Korea of this particular version of the weapon. According to Yonhap, the Musudan missile has a range of just under 2,500 miles. That’s enough to threaten not only South Korea and Japan but also Guam, a key hub of the U.S. military’s “re-balance” to the Asia-Pacific region.\nDelury said the United States and its allies should not take much comfort in the apparent failure.\n“Every time the North Koreans test their nuclear and missile capabilities, they learn something, and get better,” he said.\nThis combo shows a file picture taken on April 15, 1992 of then-North Korean President Kim Il-Sung (L) during the celebration marking his 80th birthday at Kim Il-Sung stadium in Pyongyang and a file photo taken on April 15, 2012 of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un as he watches a military parade to mark 100 years since the birth of the country's founder and his grandfather, Kim Il-Sung, in Pyongyang. (Photo: AFP/ JIJI PRESS; R-image, Ed Jones (R) JIJI PRESS/AFP/Getty Images)\nLast month, the U.N. Security Council condemned North Korea's most recent ballistic missile launches, calling them \"unacceptable,\" a clear violation of U.N. resolutions banning such tests and a threat to regional and international security, the AP reported.\nThe council met March 18 hours after the North fired a medium-range missile from a site north of Pyongyang that flew about 500 miles before crashing into the sea off the country's east coast. The resolution condemned the North's firing of short-range ballistic missiles into the sea on March 10, in response to new sanctions from South Korea.\nPyongyang usually notifies the International Maritime Organization, a global shipping regulation body, in advance of a planned test launch. No such notification had taken place as of Thursday, Yonhap reports.\nBrad Glosserman, executive director of the Pacific Forum CSIS, in Honolulu, said the failed test does not necessarily raise the level of tensions any further.\n“Had it worked, Pyongyang would have crowed about its success, but it doesn’t shift the balance of power. North Korea knows that any attempt to threaten the Republic of Korea or the United States or Japan will be met with a resolute defense and a reiteration of the U.S. commitment to their defense. The failure merely increases uncertainty on the North Korean side,” Glosserman said.\nRead or Share this story: http://usat.ly/1ScOFHK", "url": "http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/04/14/norht-korea-missile-launch/83032878/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160415175556/http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/04/14/norht-korea-missile-launch/83032878/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "North Korea attempts to launch intermediate range missile but fails: Yonhap", "text": "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watches the ballistic rocket launch drill of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA) at an unknown location, in this undated file photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) in Pyongyang on March 11, 2016. ...\nNorth Korea leader Kim Jong Un smiles as he visits Sohae Space Center in Cholsan County, North Pyongan province for the testing of a new engine for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in this undated photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)...\nSEOUL North Korea attempted to launch an intermediate range ballistic missile off the country's east coast on Friday but the launch failed, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.\nThe failed launch follows North Korea's fourth nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch the next month, which led to fresh U.N. sanctions.\nYonhap said the failed launch appeared to be a Musudan missile with a range of more than 3,000 kms (1,800 miles).\nAn official at the South Korean defense ministry said North Korea was attempting a missile launch early on Friday morning but the launch appeared to have failed, however, the official could not confirm the type of the missile.\nThe United States, which has 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea, said on Thursday it was aware of reports that North Korea was preparing to test intermediate-range missiles and was closely monitoring the Korean Peninsula.\nFriday is the anniversary of North Korean founding president Kim Il Sung's birthday, April 15, and is widely celebrated in the isolated country.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "My Own Life", "text": "A MONTH ago, I felt that I was in good health, even robust health. At 81, I still swim a mile a day. But my luck has run out — a few weeks ago I learned that I have multiple metastases in the liver. Nine years ago it was discovered that I had a rare tumor of the eye, an ocular melanoma. Although the radiation and lasering to remove the tumor ultimately left me blind in that eye, only in very rare cases do such tumors metastasize. I am among the unlucky 2 percent.\nI feel grateful that I have been granted nine years of good health and productivity since the original diagnosis, but now I am face to face with dying. The cancer occupies a third of my liver, and though its advance may be slowed, this particular sort of cancer cannot be halted.\nIt is up to me now to choose how to live out the months that remain to me. I have to live in the richest, deepest, most productive way I can. In this I am encouraged by the words of one of my favorite philosophers, David Hume, who, upon learning that he was mortally ill at age 65, wrote a short autobiography in a single day in April of 1776. He titled it “My Own Life.”\n“I now reckon upon a speedy dissolution,” he wrote. “I have suffered very little pain from my disorder; and what is more strange, have, notwithstanding the great decline of my person, never suffered a moment’s abatement of my spirits. I possess the same ardour as ever in study, and the same gaiety in company.”\nI have been lucky enough to live past 80, and the 15 years allotted to me beyond Hume’s three score and five have been equally rich in work and love. In that time, I have published five books and completed an autobiography (rather longer than Hume’s few pages) to be published this spring; I have several other books nearly finished.\nHume continued, “I am ... a man of mild dispositions, of command of temper, of an open, social, and cheerful humour, capable of attachment, but little susceptible of enmity, and of great moderation in all my passions.”\nHere I depart from Hume. While I have enjoyed loving relationships and friendships and have no real enmities, I cannot say (nor would anyone who knows me say) that I am a man of mild dispositions. On the contrary, I am a man of vehement disposition, with violent enthusiasms, and extreme immoderation in all my passions.\nAnd yet, one line from Hume’s essay strikes me as especially true: “It is difficult,” he wrote, “to be more detached from life than I am at present.”\nOver the last few days, I have been able to see my life as from a great altitude, as a sort of landscape, and with a deepening sense of the connection of all its parts. This does not mean I am finished with life.\nOn the contrary, I feel intensely alive, and I want and hope in the time that remains to deepen my friendships, to say farewell to those I love, to write more, to travel if I have the strength, to achieve new levels of understanding and insight.\nThis will involve audacity, clarity and plain speaking; trying to straighten my accounts with the world. But there will be time, too, for some fun (and even some silliness, as well).\nI feel a sudden clear focus and perspective. There is no time for anything inessential. I must focus on myself, my work and my friends. I shall no longer look at “NewsHour” every night. I shall no longer pay any attention to politics or arguments about global warming.\nThis is not indifference but detachment — I still care deeply about the Middle East, about global warming, about growing inequality, but these are no longer my business; they belong to the future. I rejoice when I meet gifted young people — even the one who biopsied and diagnosed my metastases. I feel the future is in good hands.\nI have been increasingly conscious, for the last 10 years or so, of deaths among my contemporaries. My generation is on the way out, and each death I have felt as an abruption, a tearing away of part of myself. There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate — the genetic and neural fate — of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.\nI cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers.\nAbove all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.", "url": "http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/opinion/oliver-sacks-on-learning-he-has-terminal-cancer.html?_r=2&referrer=", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150220043927/http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/opinion/oliver-sacks-on-learning-he-has-terminal-cancer.html?_r=2&referrer=" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Selección de suscripción", "text": "Suscripción ElMundo.es\n0,99€ / mes el primer mes\n4,99€ / mes a partir del segundo mes *\n* Sin contrato de permanencia.", "url": "http://www.elmundo.es/salud/2015/02/19/54e5dbd1e2704e2d6b8b4577.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150309231027/https://seguro.elmundo.es/compras/quiosco?r=w" } ]

However, he added: \"Through diplomacy we have an absolute responsibility to pursue an agreement.\"\nWhile saying that a deal with Iran was expected within months, Kerry tried to reassure Washington's Arab allies and Israel that his country would not abandon them.\nThumping the podium, Kerry said President Barack Obama had said \"that he will continue to defend his friends and allies in this region, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, others, he will defend them against any external attack.\n\"That is the promise of the United States and as I stand here as Secretary of State, as long as I'm Secretary of State, that is also our policy, my policy, representing the President of the United States in executing it.\"\nThe fact that a deal might be within reach after a decade of increasing confrontation between Iran and Western powers shows the shift in the tone of Tehran's foreign policy since President Hassan Rouhani was elected in June.\nRouhani began diplomatic moves towards a nuclear deal in order to ease sanctions that have throttled Iran's vital oil industry and cut it off from the international banking system.\nMAJOR POWERS\nBut with a breakthrough in Geneva tantalizingly close, divisions within the powers emerged when France declined to endorse the proposal, believing it did not do enough to neutralize the risk of an Iranian atom bomb.\nFrench Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius nonetheless expressed hope on Monday that a deal could be reached, although he said Tehran still had to make an effort on a few points.\n\"We are not far from an agreement with the Iranians, but we are not there yet,\" he told Europe 1 radio.\nSome diplomats accused France of grandstanding during the talks at the weekend, which Fabius denied, saying Paris was not isolated but had an independent foreign policy.\nKerry denied reports of rifts among the powers and suggested Iran was not ready to accept the plan at that point.\nThe powers were \"unified on Saturday when we presented a proposal to the Iranians, and the French signed off on it, we signed off on it, and everybody agreed it was a fair proposal. There was unity, but Iran couldn't take it at that particular moment, they weren't able to accept that particular thing.\"\nFabius said Iran must suspend construction of its Arak heavy-water reactor and halt uranium enrichment to a concentration of 20 percent to win a relaxation of the sanctions, a position long held by Paris.\n\"I am hopeful we will reach a good deal. We want an accord that ensures regional and international stability,\" Fabius said. \"If we don't reach an accord it would be a considerable problem in a few months.\"\nJOINT STATEMENT\nThe United Nations nuclear watchdog said it and Iran had signed a joint statement on cooperation to resolve remaining nuclear issues.\nThe technical agreement opens the way for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to visit the Arak site and the Gachin uranium mine, and for measures requested by the agency to be implemented.\n\"The practical measures will be implemented in the next three months, starting from today,\" IAEA head Yukiya Amano told a news conference in Tehran, broadcast on state television.\nIran and the six powers are searching for a preliminary agreement that would cap Iran's nuclear capacity and open up the program to U.N. inspectors. In exchange, they have offered phased, limited and reversible relief from sanctions. Iran, however, wants an early end to oil and banking sanctions.\nUnder discussion is a temporary deal entailing a freeze to higher-grade uranium enrichment - which Iran bills as fuel for a medical research reactor but which is also potential material for bombs - lasting about six months.\nDuring that time, Iran and the six powers would negotiate a permanent agreement aimed at ensuring that none of Iran's nuclear activities could be diverted towards bomb-making. Tehran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.\nIn an apparent attempt to keep hardliners on side, Rouhani spoke on Sunday of foreign policy \"red lines\" and vowed not to bow to threats.\nIsrael, which calls Iran's nuclear drive a threat to its existence, condemned the interim deal as it would leave some of Iran's nuclear fuel-making capacity intact, while giving Tehran respite from sanctions.\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu served notice that Israel would not feel bound by such a deal, unmistakably reiterating a veiled threat to take military action if it deems diplomacy to have failed to restrain Iran's nuclear ambitions.\n(Additional reporting by Mahmoud Habboush, Marcus George; Writing by Giles Elgood; editing by David Stamp)", "url": "http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/11/us-iran-nuclear-idUSBRE9A804X20131111", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131111112310/http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/11/us-iran-nuclear-idUSBRE9A804X20131111" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Deal struck on UN inspections of Iran sites", "text": "Iran's state television says an agreement for expanded monitoring has been reached in talks with the UN nuclear chief in a deal that could boost wider negotiations over Tehran's atomic programme.\nThe broadcaster said the deal was struck on Monday in talks with UN nuclear chief Yukiya Amano.\nIt is a so-called \"roadmap'' that will give UN inspectors a broader reach, including access to a heavy water reactor under construction and a key uranium mine.\n\"The practical measures will be implemented in the next three months, starting from today,\" Aman said in a news conference in Tehran, broadcast on state television.\nAmano's visit comes after efforts in Geneva over the weekend stalled on ways to ease Western concerns that Iran could one day produce nuclear weapons.

Included in the accord is access to Iran’s largest uranium mine, said Ali Akbar Salehi, who heads the Islamic republic’s atomic program.\nThe pact followed three days of talks in Geneva between Iran and world powers that failed to clinch a broader accord to relieve international sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iranian restrictions on its nuclear program. The IAEA’s decade-long investigation into alleged past nuclear-weapons work has underpinned international concerns about a program that has cast the specter of war and proliferation across the Middle East. Iran insists its atomic research is for peaceful uses.\n“The Iranians have realized that in order to maintain the momentum of political talks” with the group of nations known as the P5+1, “they need to re-energize the technical track with the IAEA,” Ali Vaez, an Iran analyst at the International Crisis Group, said in an e-mailed reply to questions. “The two processes remain as inter-connected as ever, as one cannot get entirely resolved without the other.”\nInformation Sought\nDetails of the agreement will be circulated among the Vienna-based agency’s member states later this month, Amano said. Implementation will start within three months, he said.\n“This shows Iran’s readiness to demonstrate the needed flexibility to advance toward closing Iran’s nuclear file,” Salehi said.\nHe said the agreement allows inspectors greater access to a heavy-water reactor at Arak. While the IAEA has visited Arak, inspectors have sought additional information on the design of the incomplete project to ensure plutonium cannot be extracted for nuclear weapons.\n“Access to the design information is critical to resolve outstanding questions about the intended use of the reactor,” said former IAEA inspector Robert Kelley, who led investigations in Iraq. Reactor access, combined with information about its fuel, “could serve to verify that it is not being configured to make weapons-grade plutonium.”\n‘On Course’\nConcerns over Arak helped to undermine an accord in Geneva, where French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius sought a pause in construction during negotiations. Other top officials, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, had fueled speculation that an agreement was near after unexpectedly attending the discussions.\n“The real significance of today is that the French objection is not derailing the process,” said Scott Lucas, an Iran specialist at the University of Birmingham in England.\n“It confirms that despite the holdup” two days ago, “we’re on course to getting an agreement” when the seven nations meet for more talks next week, he said in a phone interview.\nAfter the Swiss meetings concluded, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters that the seven nations represented were “on the same wavelength” and “can build on and move forward.” Negotiations resume Nov. 20 in Geneva, giving opponents in Israel, Saudi Arabia and Washington time to lobby against an agreement. A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had no comment on today’s accord.\nSouth African Uranium\nIran’s deal with the IAEA, which already visits Iran’s 17 declared nuclear facilities, is the first since a June 2007 accord crafted by former IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei.\nIran’s Gchine uranium mine, near the Persian Gulf coast city of Bandar Abbas, has undergone expansion since that deal. Existing IAEA agreements with Iran don’t extend to mining operations.\nIran has been using about 530 tons of uranium obtained from South Africa in 1982 to fuel its declared enrichment program, centered at the Natanz plant, about 210 kilometers (130 miles) south of Tehran. IAEA inspectors have long sought to establish whether Iran has an alternative fuel source for a nuclear effort running in parallel with the declared program.\n“Iran’s nuclear program has been constrained for years by a limited amount of uranium purchased abroad,” Kelley said. “Knowing domestic sources more accurately will help the IAEA draw conclusions.”\nThe agreement is seen as a “first step” leading to further cooperation, according to a copy posted on the IAEA website. In addition to the Gchine mine and the Arak reactor, the deal provides the agency with new information on reactor projects and sites designated for power plants. Iran also pledged to clarify whether it plans to build new uranium-enrichment facilities and technologies.\nTo contact the reporter on this story: Jonathan Tirone in Geneva at jtirone@bloomberg.net\nTo contact the editor responsible for this story: James Hertling at jhertling@bloomberg.net", "url": "http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-11/iran-clears-iaea-test-after-failing-to-win-p5-1-accord.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20131111172454/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-11/iran-clears-iaea-test-after-failing-to-win-p5-1-accord.html" } ]

The US software company also modified its policy for deciding when and how to accede to official requests from governments around the world to ban particular writers from its MSN Spaces blog service. It said that under its new approach, while it would still have blocked the blogger in China under the Chinese restrictions, it would not have done so in other countries. The Microsoft service claims 15m bloggers, more than 3m of them inside China. Microsoft's discomfort over its decision to remove a blog by Zhao Jing last month was a forerunner of the greater public outcry that has followed Google's decision last week to launch a censored version of its search engine service in China. The speed of the internet's advance and its mass-market adoption by amateur bloggers around the world had raised new issues for internet companies that were different from those traditionally faced by publishers that operate internationally, said Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel. \"This is not a single-company issue, or a single-country issue - we need principles that will drive our industry as a whole,\" he said. Under what Mr Smith called a \"more robust\" policy on responding to official requests to censor bloggers, Microsoft said it would only remove blogs when it receives an official legal order. However, it said it would continue to publish material that was blocked in this way outside the country concerned.", "url": "http://news.ft.com/cms/s/141c20fe-92b5-11da-977b-0000779e2340.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060201090945/http://news.ft.com/cms/s/141c20fe-92b5-11da-977b-0000779e2340.html" } ]

In Italia questo processo ha incrociato nel biennio 1993-1994 la messa fuori gioco, per ragioni esterne e con metodi discutibili, di un intero ceto politico. Così, mentre altrove il nuovo si sta costruendo con riferimenti, concetti, valori consolidati, in Italia la transizione sta avvenendo in una sorta di vuoto ideale e politico.\nIn nome della semplificazione si sta realizzando un sistema anomalo di “bipartitismo all’italiana” che, di fatto, si risolve in una pericolosa deriva plebiscitaria di stampo sudamericano.\nIn un contesto di pragmatismo, di seduzione mediatica e di programmi generici la scena è stata occupata da nuove formazioni politiche senza regole nelle mani di singole persone o ristretti vertici e prive di un chiaro e univoco riferimento culturale, ancora alle prese con il problema di fare i conti con il loro passato.\nNon ci si può sorprendere, pertanto, se l’elettorato manifesta nei confronti dei vari soggetti politici una debole identificazione e se a distanza di un quindicennio e dopo la sperimentazione del bipolarismo e dell’alternanza di governo, si presenta la questione della rappresentanza di una vasta area elettorale e di un crescente astensionismo.\nCiascuno dei due poli si caratterizza più per la differenza e contrapposizione con l’altro polo che per la propria identità culturale. In queste condizioni parlare di nuova fase della vita politica e istituzionale e di normalizzazione nei rapporti tra maggioranza ed opposizione diventa più un’esercitazione retorica che una meta raggiungibile.\nSi profila anzi il rischio di una “grande coalizione” con l’unico intento di spazzare via definitivamente le culture politiche più importanti della nostra tradizione culturale, riducendo gli ambiti residuali di sovranità popolare e di democraticità delle istituzioni.\nLe priorità dei liberali\nL’Italia dopo la rivoluzione democratica ha bisogno della rivoluzione liberale, che deve riguardare l’assetto e il funzionamento delle istituzioni, dell’amministrazione e dell’economia, e di un progetto per la modernizzazione che recida i legami con la cultura egualitarista e con la struttura sociale ed economica di segno dirigista e corporativo per dare all’individuo-cittadino il ruolo di protagonista.\nLa sinistra post-comunista, pur accettando il mercato, continua ad essere sostanzialmente dirigista e burocratica, fa fatica ad accettare gli equilibri spontanei che le società raggiungono e non rinuncia a perseguire l’egualitarismo attraverso lo Stato. Stenta a farsi interprete delle domande di libertà e di sicurezza di una società meno massificata e che non vuole essere eterodiretta.\nLa soddisfazione dei liberali per il successo nelle elezioni politiche del 2001 della coalizione di centrodestra è stata messa, a dura, prova fino a sfociare nella delusione, dalla diversità di posizioni al suo interno e dalle incertezze.\nAl centrodestra si chiedeva, infatti, di fare ciò che il centrosinistra non aveva saputo fare nella precedente legislatura e cioè di segnare una incisiva discontinuità nei programmi e nelle scelte di governo per affermare una concezione individualista e anti-statalista della libertà, che non implica una concezione egoistica e cinica della convivenza civile si chiedeva di inaugurare finalmente una nuova stagione delle istituzioni, della politica e dell’economia e dimostrare una forte determinazione nell’avviare il cambiamento.\nLe principali idee-guida che ispirano le scelte dei liberali sono le seguenti : la difesa di tutte le libertà; la correlazione fra diritti e responsabilità; la distinzione fra principi morali e vincoli giuridici non per indifferenza morale ma per facilitare le condizioni della convivenza; l’attribuzione alla politica di un ruolo che riguarda soprattutto le regole, anche se le istituzioni hanno il fondamento in principi come la tolleranza, l’autonomia e il rispetto di sé e degli altri che non sono moralmente neutri; la centralità dell’istruzione e della formazione continua per una società di uomini liberi e con eguali opportunità; la convinzione che ogni cittadino sappia impiegare meglio del Governo i suoi soldi e che il prelievo pubblico non debba superare quella soglia che incentiva l’evasione e scoraggia le attività dei cittadini; la fiducia nel mercato e nella concorrenza;il premio per il merito; la preferenza per il principio che ai cittadini debba essere permesso tutto ciò che non è espressamente vietato; l’amore per la propria Patria, che non deve mai trascendere in odio per quella degli altri; la ferma determinazione nel perseguimento dell’obiettivo dell’integrazione europea e la volontà di lavorare per un’Europa sempre più forte, alleata con gli Stati Uniti d’America per affrontare insieme le sfide del terzo millennio.\nCiò premesso, il PLI s’impegna nella prossima legislatura a sviluppare dentro e fuori il Parlamento una forte iniziativa su alcuni punti prioritari:\nRipensamento della funzione dello Stato e dei livelli quantitativi e qualitativi della spesa pubblica, che nonostante la continua lievitazione non riesce a perseguire l’obiettivo di una società più giusta. Oltre alla lotta agli sprechi e ai privilegi, è indispensabile la riforma di un “welfare” pletorico e costoso che concede benefici superflui anche a chi non ne ha bisogno e trascura i cittadini veramente bisognosi.\n- Introduzione di un limite massimo alla tassazione individuale, oltre il quale si ha espropriazione e s’ incrementa l’ evasione e l’elusione; riduzione per le imprese del numero degli adempimenti ed eliminazione dell’IRAP, che incide sul costo del lavoro; tendenziale sostituzione delle imposte dirette con imposte indirette progressive.\n- Difesa dei diritti di proprietà da una troppo onerosa pressione fiscale e dalla congerie di poteri locali, che , tra piani regolatori, parchi regionali, circoscrizioni e comunità montane, sta determinando una penalizzazione di tali diritti.\nAccelerazione del processo di liberalizzazioni e di privatizzazioni per le aziende a capitale pubblico e per le società ex municipalizzate di proprietà degli enti locali.\n- Impegno per la riqualificazione della Pubblica Amministrazione e per la sburocratizzazione, in modo da responsabilizzare il cittadino anche al fine di accelerare la realizzazione delle iniziative economiche.\n- Intensificazione dell’azione per la risoluzione dei più gravi problemi strutturali del Paese, a cominciare da quello del riequilibrio tra il Sud e il resto dell’Italia soprattutto nel campo delle infrastrutture, dei servizi e da quello energetico, settore in cui appare ormai evidente come, anche in un ottica di diversificazione, l’energia nucleare si stia affermando come indispensabile.\nPer il settore della giustizia: drastica riduzione del numero delle ipotesi e della durata della carcerazione preventiva, per evitare che il cittadino finisca in galera senza processo; netta separazione delle carriere dei giudici e dei pubblici ministeri per garantire la terzietà della magistratura giudicante; rotazione degli incarichi direttivi ed eliminazione della giurisdizione amministrativa, concentrandola su quella ordinaria; affidamento dell’iniziativa nelle istruttorie alle parti per accelerare il giudizio civile; riforma del C.S.M. per eliminarne l’impostazione corporativa.\nNel settore della scuola e dell’Università è importante che in tutto il sistema si persegua l’obiettivo di elevare il livello qualitativo per formare cittadini validi culturalmente e responsabili e rendere più agevole l’inserimento di tutti nel mondo del lavoro e delle professioni . Stabiliti standard educativi per l’intera comunità nazionale, occorre puntare su itinerari differenziati ma dello stesso livello qualitativo, sull’adeguamento dei curricula e sul miglioramento della condizione e dei criteri di reclutamento e aggiornamento dei docenti e aprire il settore ad una vera competizione attraverso la graduale abolizione del valore legale dei titoli di studio e l’istituzione di una valido sistema di valutazione dei risultati.\n- Potenziamento della ricerca di base pubblica e introduzione di un sistema come quello anglosassone delle fondazioni per favorire quella applicata. Rispetto delle autonomie delle istituzioni scientifiche per premiare il merito e selezionare e valorizzare i più bravi.\n- Attenzione al mondo del lavoro e, in particolare alla sua tutela e dignità, alla sicurezza, alla previdenza pubblica e complementare privata, alla mobilità e alla formazione e aggiornamento professionale.\nLa difesa del cittadino contro la criminalità è una questione prioritaria in una società libera che vuole sentirsi anche sicura ed è un compito al quale lo Stato deve attendere con grande impegno senza cedimenti e senza lasciare spazio a velleità di supplenza. A tal fine occorre dedicare la massima attenzione, concentrando risorse umane e strumentali in misura adeguata, all’azione di prevenzione e di contrasto, articolando gli interventi per tenere conto della varietà di manifestazione del fenomeno e tendendo a coinvolgere le autorità locali e quanti ad ogni livello e con varie competenze possono essere utili all’efficacia dell’ azione stessa.", "url": "http://www.partitoliberale.it/page1/files/c0c84fa4fa2eb161aa70f861f7a92069-240.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080411120653/http://www.partitoliberale.it/page1/files/c0c84fa4fa2eb161aa70f861f7a92069-240.html" }, { "language": "it", "title": "Il nostro Programma", "text": "•Vita Indipendente per i Disabili non Autosufficienti intesa come strumento per l’esercizio dei diritti umani - soggettivi, da scorporare dalle generiche prestazioni per le non autosufficienze (comunque tutelate).", "url": "http://www.perilbenecomune.net/Programma.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080308204501/http://www.perilbenecomune.net/Programma.html" }, { "language": "it", "title": "elezioni politiche 13 e 14 aprile 2008", "text": "PROGRAMMA ELETTORALE\nDEL MOVIMENTO POLITICO UNIONE DEMOCRATICA per i CONSUMATORI\nPER LE ELEZIONI POLITICHE DEL 13 E 14 APRILE 2008\n(Modifiche introdotte l’11.03.08)\nInviaci i tuoi suggerimenti a: Indirizzo e-mail protetto dal bots spam , deve abilitare Javascript per vederlo\nParticolare impegno verso le tematiche dei consumatori con una delega diretta e specifica\n• Controlli capillari da parte delle associazioni dei consumatori per quanto attiene a qualità e prezzi dei servizi forniti.\n• Esposizione del triplo prezzo (produttore, trasformatore o grossista e rivenditore), dando attuazione all’art. 2 della legge 231 del 2005, che prevede la possibilità di individuare le anomalie dei prezzi che distinguono il libero mercato dalla speculazione.

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Kriegsgerät: Deutsche verdienen gut am Waffenexport", "text": "Von Hannes Gamillscheg\nNur die USA und Russland liefern noch mehr Waffen als Deutschland. Das Rüstungsgeschäft boomt auch in der Finanzkrise. Von Hannes Gamillscheg\nSipri 1966 von der schwedischen Regierung gegründet zählt das Sipri-Institut heute zu den renommiertesten Friedensforschungsinstitutionen der Welt. Es gibt jährliche Übersichten über Waffenhandel und Rüstungsausgaben heraus. Beim Waffenhandel operiert Sipri nicht mit konkreten Zahlen, sondern geschätzten Werten, weil internationale Geschäfte oft nicht mit Barbezahlung sondern durch Kompensationsaufträge getätigt werden und gebrauchtes Rüstungsgut weit unter dem Realwert verschleudert wird. Die Sipri-Werte unterscheiden sich daher oft von den von einzelnen Staaten angegebenen Export-Zahlen. (gam)\nStockholm. Auch die Finanzkrise hat den internationalen Waffenhandel nicht nachhaltig gebremst, und Deutschland hat seine Rolle als Großhändler noch ausgebaut. Seit Beginn des Jahrzehnts haben sich die deutschen Waffenexporte mehr als verdoppelt. Der Anteil am insgesamt gewachsenen globalen Handel mit Kriegsmaterial stieg von sechs auf elf Prozent. Insgesamt lag der Umsatz der Waffenhändler zwischen 2005 und 2009 um 22 Prozent höher als in der davor liegenden Fünfjahresperiode.\nDies geht aus den neuesten Zahlen über den globalen Handel mit konventionellen Waffen hervor, die das Friedensforschungsinstitut Sipri am Montag vorlegt. Nach den Hochzeiten der Kriegskaufleute während des Kalten Krieges war das Rüstungsgeschäft in den 1990er Jahren geschrumpft. Doch seit Mitte dieses Jahrzehnts ist der Trend wieder steigend. Inzwischen hat der Handel fast altes Niveau erreicht. Zwar lag der Umsatz 2008 und 2009 leicht unter dem der davor liegenden Jahre, doch dass die Haushaltsprobleme vieler Staaten zu einem Rüstungsstopp geführt hätten, lässt sich aus den Zahlen nicht ablesen. Da sich große Waffenkäufe oft über Jahre hinziehen, operiert Sipri mit Fünfjahresperioden, die jüngste wies deutlichen Zuwachs aus.\nDeutschland mischt immer stärker mit, nur die USA und Russland exportierten mehr. 40 Prozent gingen an europäische Partner, 25 Prozent nach Asien, 15 Prozent nach Nahost. Insgesamt wurden 55 Länder mit deutschem Kriegsgut beliefert, darunter Malaysia (vier Fregatten), Jordanien (Trainingshubschrauber), China, Taiwan, Indien, Iran, Israel, Vietnam und Venezuela, die alle Dieselmotoren für Panzerfahrzeuge bezogen.\nGrößter Waffenhändler ist weiterhin die USA mit einem Marktanteil von knapp 30 Prozent, mit Asien (Südkorea) und dem Nahen Osten (Israel, Arabische Emirate) als besten Kunden. Kriegsflugzeuge vom Typ F-16 und F-15 für diese drei Länder machten fast die Hälfte der Exporte aus. Russland, das für 23,5 Prozent des Waffenhandels steht, versorgte vor allem China und Indien, auch in Afrika nehmen die russischen Lieferungen stark zu. Bei den russischen Exporten hatten Kampfflieger des Typs Su-30 den größten Wert.\nDiese zunehmende Aufrüstung der Luftwaffen registriert Sipri mit Sorge. Die \"potenziell destabilisierenden Waffensysteme\" ließen ein Wettrüsten in Spannungsgebieten wie Nahost, Nordafrika, Südamerika und Südostasien befürchten. Rohstoffreiche Staaten hätten bedeutende Mengen teurer Kriegsflugzeuge erworben. Unter den Waffenkunden wird sich die in der jüngsten Fünfjahresperiode ausgewiesene Spitzenposition Chinas rasch ändern. Dort ist das Umsteigen auf lokale Rüstungsproduktion voll im Gang. Hubschrauber aus Frankreich und Russland waren im Vorjahr Chinas einzige größere Waffenkäufe. 2005 sorgte China noch für 17 Prozent der globalen Rüstungsimporte, 2009 waren es 2,6 Prozent, womit Peking auf Rang 13 der Einkäufer zurückfiel.\nEinen dramatischen Anstieg bei den Importen stellt Sipri in Südostasien und Südamerika fest, wo die Importe um 150 Prozent zunahmen. Perus Präsident Alan Garcia Perez forderte einen Nichtangriffspakt und vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen für ganz Lateinamerika. In Afrika konstatiert Sipri einen beunruhigenden Waffenstrom in die unstabilen Regionen im Nordosten des Kontinents.", "url": "http://www.fr-online.de/in_und_ausland/politik/aktuell/2422594_Deutsche-verdienen-gut-am-Waffenexport.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160310192826/http://www.fr-online.de/politik/kriegsgeraet-deutsche-verdienen-gut-am-waffenexport,1472596,2845560.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Deutsche Waffenexporte verdoppelt: Second-Hand-Panzer sind der Renner", "text": "zuletzt aktualisiert: 15.03.2010 - 13:18\nStockolm (RPO). Der weltweite Handel mit schweren Waffen boomt. Nach einer Studie des Friedensforschungsinstitutes SIPRI stieg der Handel in den vergangenen fünf Jahren um 22 Prozent. Zu den größten Profiteuren zählt Deutschland, das sein Handelsvolumen verdoppelte. Besonders Panzer und U-Boote verkaufen sich gut. Opposition und Wissenschaftler schlagen Alarm. Ein boomender Waffenhandel könnte ganze Erdteile politisch destabilisieren.\nDeutscher Exportschlager I: Der Panzer Leopard.\nDie Zahlen sind erstaunlich. In den Jahren 2005 bis 2009 stiegen deutsche Waffenexporte um 100 Prozent an. Nach den USA und Russland ist Deutschland damit der drittgrößte Waffenexporteur der Welt. Der Anteil am weltweiten Handel liegt bei elf Prozent. Besonders gefragt waren gepanzerte Fahrzeuge und U-Boote. Warum sind deutsche Waffen im Ausland so gefragt? Wer sind die Abnehmer? Und sind die Deals politisch und ethisch vertretbar?\nWas exportiert wird: Bei den gepanzerten Fahrzeugen spielt der von Krauss-Maffei entwickelte Panzer Leopard 2 weiterhin eine dominante Rolle. Das Kampfsystem gilt seit seiner ersten Einführung 1979 als solide und aufgrund vieler Adaptionsmöglichkeiten als vielseitig einsetzbar. Besonders dies macht ihn bei ausländischen Armeen beliebt. Der Leopard ist bei fast jeden Bedingungen einsetzbar. Dabei machen gebrauchte Panzer \"aus zweiter Hand\" das Gros der Verkäufe aus.\nExportschlager II: U-Boote der Klasse 214. Foto: ddp\nAngeführt werden die Exporte jedoch von U-Booten. Deals über Jagd-Boote der Klasse 214 wurden bereits mit Griechenland, Portugal, Südkorea und der Türkei abgeschlossen. Die Technik der Boote, in Deutschland lediglich für den Export vorgesehen, gilt als wegweisend. Mit ihren modernen Brennstoffzellen sind es die leisesten konventionellen Boote der Welt. Die Besatzung kann mehrere Wochen unter Wasser bleiben.\nAn wen exportiert wird: In der Türkei und Griechenland sind zwei Nato-Partner die größten Abnehmer deutscher Waffensysteme. 14 Prozent der Ausfuhren gingen an die Regierung in Ankara. 13 Prozent der Ausfuhren wurden an Griechenland geliefert. Die Griechen interessieren sich besonders für das U-Boot 214. Bei dem Geschäft mit den chronisch klammen Griechen kam es bereits zum Streit über die Finanzierung. Schließlich übernahm Athen drei Boote, eines wurde weiterverkauft. Griechenland gehört zu den fünf größten Waffenkäufern der Welt.\nAber auch mit Ländern außerhalb der Nato machen deutsche Firmen gute Geschäfte. Brasilien wird seit 2009 mit 220 gebrauchten Leopard-Panzern beliefert. Auch Chile erhielt 140 Second-Hand-Panzer. Malaysia bekam 2009 zwei Fregatten der Meko-Klasse geliefert. Hersteller ist ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. Auch Süd-Afrika ist ein wichtiger Handelspartner.\nPolitische Reaktionen: Friedensforscher sowie Politiker von Linkspartei und Grünen fordern politische Konsequenzen. Die Grünen wollen ein Widerspruchsrecht des Bundestags bei Waffen-Deals. Die Studie zeige, \"dass wir in Deutschland eine viel stärkere Rüstungskontrolle und schärfere Kriterien für den Waffenexport brauchen\", erklärte die Bundesvorsitzende Claudia Roth im \"Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger\".\nDer Vize-Fraktionschef der Linken, Jan van Aken, nannte das Ergebnis der Studie \"grauenvoll\" und forderte einen Exportstopp. In Deutschland \"darf es keine Arbeitsplätze geben, die darauf beruhen, dass woanders Menschen sterben\", sagte van Aken der \"Frankfurter Rundschau\".\nDie Forscher von SIPRI warnen vor einem neuen Wettrüsten. \"Staaten, die reich an Ressourcen sind, haben erhebliche Mengen an teuren Kampfflugzeugen erworben\", bilanziert Abteilungsleiter Paul Holtom. \"Benachbarte Rivalen haben auf diese Anschaffungen mit eigenen Bestellungen reagiert.\" Ein neues Wettrüsten könne ganze Regionen politisch destabilsieren.\nIm Blickpunkt der Forscher gelangt hierbei besonders Südamerika. Auf den Subkontinent wurden in den vergangenen fünf Jahren 150 Prozent mehr Waffen geliefert als zu Beginn des Jahrtausends – deutsche Second-Hand-Panzer inklusive.\nWeitere Fotos zu diesem Thema\nQuelle: csi/csr", "url": "http://www.rp-online.de/politik/deutschland/Second-Hand-Panzer-sind-der-Renner_aid_832336.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100322232612/http://www.rp-online.de/politik/deutschland/Second-Hand-Panzer-sind-der-Renner_aid_832336.html" } ]

Así lo expresó ante cientos de sus seguidores congregados frente a la legación diplomática, mientras el Gobierno de facto, encabezado por Roberto Micheletti, pedía a Brasil que le entregara a Zelaya y responsabilizaba a ese país \"de los actos violentos que se puedan suscitar\".\n\"Hago un llamado al Gobierno de Brasil a que respete la orden judicial dictada contra el señor Zelaya entregándolo a las autoridades competentes de Honduras\", dijo Micheletti en un mensaje que leyó en la Casa Presidencial emitido por televisión. \"El Estado de Honduras está comprometido a respetar los derechos del señor Zelaya al debido proceso\", agregó, insistiendo en que el ex mandatario pretende \"continuar obstaculizando la celebración de las elecciones el próximo 29 de noviembre, como lo han venido haciendo él y sus seguidores desde hace varias semanas\".\nEl Ejecutivo de Micheletti ha decretado el toque de queda en todo el territorio nacional para \"conservar la calma\" desde las 16 hora local (medianoche en la península española) hasta las 7 de la madrugada del martes. Además, ha anunciado el cierre de los cuatro aeropuertos internacionales que tiene el país a partir de este martes, que quedarán bajo control del Ejército.\nZelaya, derrocado por un golpe de Estado el pasado 28 de junio, asegura que ha vuelto para encontrar una salida pacífica a la crisis política desencadenada tras su derrocamiento. \"Estoy aquí en Tegucigalpa. Estoy aquí para la restauración de la democracia, para llamar al diálogo\", dijo en declaraciones recogidas por medios locales. El ex dirigente, que ha agradecido públicamente al presidente Lula su apoyo al darle refugio en la Embajada, ha revelado que llegó a Honduras desde Nicaragua, país donde ha pasado la mayor parte del tiempo desde que fue derrocado en junio. Según ha relatado, su travesía duró más de 15 horas y tuvo que utilizar \"diferentes transportes\" para poder llegar a su país. \"Tuve colaboración pero no puedo decirlo para que no molesten a nadie\", ha explicado.\nEl Gobierno de facto, que ha advertido en varias oportunidades de que si regresa a Honduras, Zelaya será detenido bajo cargos de traición a la patria, entre otros, desmintió en un principio la presencia del ex mandatario en Tegucigalpa, incluso después de que tanto Brasil como el Departamento de Estado de EE UU confirmaran que se encontraba en la Embajada brasileña. Previamente, el presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, aseguraba haber hablado con Zelaya por teléfono desde Tegucigalpa. \"Estamos sorprendidos gratamente de que Mel esté en Tegucigalpa y y exigimos a los golpistas que respeten la vida y la diginidad de Zelaya, que le devuelvan el poder\", dijo Chávez, quien se encontraba en un acto en una escuela de Caracas que transmitía la televisora oficial VTV. Según el presidente venezolano, Zelaya viajó \"durante dos días por tierra, cruzando montañas, ríos, arriesgando su vida, y logró llegar a la capital de Honduras\".\nEl secretario general de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), Jose Miguel Insulza, ha hecho un \"llamamiento a la calma a los actores involucrados en este proceso\" para evitar que se produzcan incidentes violentos y exige que las \"autoridades del Gobierno de facto se hagan responsables de la seguridad del mandatario derrocado. En declaraciones al canal Telesur, Zelaya dijo que había hablado con Insulza y que éste le había comunicado que se desplazará a Honduras este martes, extremo que no ha sido confirmado por la OEA.\nZelaya ya había intentado retornar en dos ocasiones a Honduras. En la primera, el 5 de julio, quiso aterrizar en Tegucigalpa en un avión del Gobierno venezolano procedente de Washington, pero se lo impidieron los militares, que obstaculizaron la pista de aterrizaje en medio de una gran manifestación en favor de Zelaya. En la segunda, el 24 de julio, por tierra desde Nicaragua a través del puesto fronterizo de Las Manos, tras permanecer dos horas en la zona neutral, regresó ante la presencia de contingentes militares en el lado hondureño con la orden de detenerle.\nCientos de seguidores del presidente depuesto Manuel Zelaya se reúnen frente a la sede de Naciones Unidas en Tegucigalpa AFP", "url": "http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Zelaya/advierte/nadie/le/volvera/sacar/Honduras/elpepuint/20090921elpepuint_9/Tes", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210410193818/https://elpais.com/internacional/2009/09/21/actualidad/1253484009_850215.html" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Honduras rompe las relaciones diplomáticas con España, Argentina, México y Venezuela", "text": "ElConfidencial.com > Mundo\nhonduras, Roberto Micheletti, diplomacia\nEl presidente hondureño de facto, Roberto Micheletti (Reuters)\nEfe.- 27/09/2009\nDeja tu comentario (90)\nEl Gobierno de facto de Roberto Micheletti anunció que no recibirá a los embajadores de España, Argentina, México y Venezuela además de dar un plazo \"no mayor de diez días\" a Brasil para que defina el estatus del depuesto presidente hondureño, Manuel Zelaya, .\n\"Nuevamente solicitamos al gobierno de Brasil que defina el estatus del señor Zelaya, dentro de un plazo no mayor de diez días.

None of them should have to sacrifice their integrity as well,\" he said. \"This is the right thing to do for our military, and I believe it is the right thing to do period.\"\nThe law ends the legal underpinnings for the ban on openly gay troops, but it does not immediately overturn the policy itself.\nOfficials say the 17-year-old ban will remain throughout the military until the president, Defense secretary and Congress certify that the military is prepared to put in place a repeal. Then, a 60-day waiting period begins before the ban is officially removed from the books.\n\"I have spoken to every one of the service chiefs, and they are all committed to implementing this change swiftly and efficiently. We are not going to be dragging our feet to getting this done,\" Obama said.\nWhile some advocates have bristled at the timing, many could not deny the enormity of the moment and said it would be a defining element of Obama's legacy.\n\"Clearly, this is President Obama's Lyndon Johnson moment in history,\" said Aubrey Sarvis, Army veteran and executive director for Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. \"A measure of dignity has been restored to thousands of service members on active duty, and to over a million gay veterans who served in silence.\"\nThe move is expected to eventually end ongoing investigations and open the door to thousands of discharged service members to return to the military and resume their careers.\n\"I'm just incredibly proud of our country and of this military that so many service members will be able to serve with dignity and integrity,\" said Air Force Lt. Col. Victor Feherenbach, 41, the highest-ranking officer investigated under the policy. \"It's actually taken a day or two to sink in, because it seemed so unbelievable at the time.\"\nWhile it's unclear how vigorously the ban will be enforced during the interim, Feherenbach said there are already signs officials are aggressively pursuing the change.\n\"I just received an e-mail from my commander, and I understand that the Air Force Chief of Staff has sent out a note that said we're going to do this, we're going to follow the law, we're going to be professionals as we always have and we're going to respect each other,\" he said.\nIn the weeks ahead the Pentagon is expected to revise policies and regulations to reflect the repeal, and train leaders on how to enforce the rules. More than 2 million service members across the military are also expected to be briefed on what is expected of them and what is not.\n\"The implementation plan lays out an ambitious agenda of things that need to be done,\" said Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week. \"How long that would take, frankly, I don't know.\"\nAmong the expected changes is non-discrimination against a military applicant who may volunteer that he or she is gay, opening the door to the return of thousands of service members whose careers were cut short after they were outed on the job.\n\"I just really miss it. I miss the people, the mission, the comraderie.

No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie, or look over their shoulder in order to serve the country that they love.\"\nThe signing does not immediately implement the repeal but instead begins the process of ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military.\nThe law will not actually change until the Pentagon certifies to Congress that the military has met several conditions, including education and training programs for the troops.\n\"In the coming days, we will begin the process laid out by this law\" to implement the repeal, Obama said. Meanwhile, he cautioned, \"the old policy remains in effect.\" But he pledged that all the service chiefs are \"committed to implementing this change swiftly and efficiently,\" and he vowed, \"We are not going to be dragging our feet to get this done.\"\nObama quoted Adm.

Lieberman , the independent from Connecticut who led the effort to end the ban. “Today we’ve done justice.”\nBefore voting on the repeal, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created a path to citizenship for certain illegal immigrants who came to the United States at a young age, completed two years of college or military service and met other requirements including passing a criminal background check.\nThe 55-41 vote in favor of the citizenship bill was five votes short of the number needed to clear the way for final passage of what is known as the Dream Act. The outcome effectively kills it for this year, and its fate beyond that is uncertain since Republicans who will assume control of the House in January oppose the measure and are unlikely to bring it to a vote.\nThe Senate then moved on to the military legislation, engaging in an emotional back and forth over the merits of the measure as advocates for repeal watched from galleries crowded with people interested in the fate of both the military and immigration measures. “I don’t care who you love,” Senator Ron Wyden , Democrat of Oregon , said as the debate opened. “If you love this country enough to risk your life for it, you shouldn’t have to hide who you are.”\nMr. Wyden showed up for the Senate vote despite saying earlier that he would be unable to do so because he would be undergoing final tests before his scheduled surgery for prostate cancer on Monday.\nThe vote came in the final days of the 111th Congress as Democrats sought to force through a final few priorities before they turn over control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans in January and see their clout in the Senate diminished.\nAdvertisement Continue reading the main story\nIt represented a significant victory for the White House, Congressional advocates of lifting the ban and activists who have pushed for years to end the Pentagon policy created in 1993 under the Clinton administration as a compromise effort to end the practice of banning gay men and lesbians entirely from military service. Saying it represented an emotional moment for members of the gay community nationwide, activists who supported repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” exchanged hugs outside the Senate chamber after the vote.\n“Today’s vote means gay and lesbian service members posted all around the world can stand taller knowing that ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ will soon be coming to an end,” said Aubrey Sarvis, an Army veteran and executive director for Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.\nThe executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay group that challenged the policy in federal court, thanked Republicans senators for participating in a historic vote. The director, R. Clarke Cooper, who is a member of the Army Reserve, said repeal will \"finally end a policy which has burdened our armed services for far too long, depriving our nation of the talent, training and hard won battle experience of thousands of patriotic Americans. \"\nA federal judge had ruled the policy unconstitutionial in response to the Log Cabin suit, but that decision had been stayed pending appeal.\nAaron Belkin, director of the Palm Center in California , a research institute at the University of California in Santa Barbara that studies issues surrounding gays and lesbians in the military, said that the vote “ushers in a new era in which the largest employer in the United States treats gays and lesbians like human beings.”\nIn a statement on the group’s website, Mr. Belkin said: “It has long been clear that there is no evidence that lifting the ban will undermine the military, and no reason to fear the transition to inclusive policy. Research shows that moving quickly is one of the keys to a successful transition. If the President and military leadership quickly certify the end of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ they will ensure an orderly transition with minimal disruption.\"\nOrganizations that opposed repeal of the ban assailed the Republican senators who defied their party majority.\nNewsletter Sign Up Continue reading the main story Please verify you're not a robot by clicking the box.

Elaine Donnelly, president of the group, said that the Pentagon’s survey indicated that 32 percent of Marines and 21.4 percent of Army combat troops would leave the military sooner than planned if “don’t ask, don’t tell” were repealed.\nKris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, said senators like Scott Brown , a Republican from Massachusetts, “broke trust with the people” by voting on repeal before the federal budget was resolved and “have put the troops at risk during wartime.”\nAdvertisement Continue reading the main story\nDuring the debate, Senator John McCain , Republican of Arizona and his party’s presidential candidate in 2008, led the opposition to the repeal and said the vote was a sad day in history. “I hope that when we pass this legislation that we will understand that we are doing great damage,” Mr. McCain said. “And we could possibly and probably, as the commandant of the Marine Corps said, and as I have been told by literally thousands of members of the military, harm the battle effectiveness vital to the survival of our young men and women in the military.”\nHe and other opponents of lifting the ban said the change could harm the unit cohesion that is essential to effective military operations, particularly in combat, and deter some Americans from enlisting or pursuing a career in the military. They noted that despite support for repealing the ban from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen , chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , other military commanders have warned that changing the practice would prove disruptive.\n“This isn’t broke,” Senator James M. Inhofe , Republican of Oklahoma , said about the policy. “It is working very well.”\nOther Republicans said that while the policy might need to be changed at some point, Congress should not do so when American troops are fighting overseas.\n“In the middle of a military conflict, is not the time to do it,” said Senator Saxby Chambliss , Republican of Georgia .\nOnly a week ago, the effort to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy seemed to be dead and in danger of fading for at least two years with Republicans about to take control of the House. The provision eliminating the ban was initially included in a broader Pentagon policy bill, and Republican backers of repeal had refused to join in cutting off a filibuster against the underlying bill because of objections over the ability to debate the measure.\nIn a last-ditch effort, Mr. Lieberman and Senator Susan Collins of Maine , a key Republican opponent of the ban, encouraged Democratic Congressional leaders to instead pursue a vote on simply repealing it. The House passed the measure earlier in the week.\nThe repeal will not take effect for at least 60 days while some other procedural steps are taken. In addition, the bill requires the defense secretary to determine that policies are in place to carry out the repeal “consistent with military standards for readiness, effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention.”\nAdvertisement Continue reading the main story\nBecause of the uncertainty, Mr. Sarvis appealed to Mr. Gates to suspend any investigations into military personnel or discharge proceedings under the policy to be overturned in the coming months.\nMr. Lieberman said the ban undermined the integrity of the military by forcing troops to lie. He said 14,000 members of the armed forces had been forced to leave the ranks under the policy.\n“What a waste,” he said.\nThe fight erupted in the early days of President Bill Clinton ’s administration and has been a roiling political issue ever since. Mr. Obama endorsed repeal in his own campaign and advocates saw the current Congress as their best opportunity for ending the ban. Dozens of advocates of ending the ban — including one wounded in combat before being forced from the military — watched from the Senate gallery as the debate took place.\nSenator Carl Levin , the Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the Armed Services Committee, dismissed Republican complaints that Democrats were trying to race through the repeal to satisfy their political supporters.\n“I’m not here for partisan reasons,” Mr. Levin said. “I’m here because men and women wearing the uniform of the United States who are gay and lesbian have died for this country, because gay and lesbian men and women wearing the uniform of this country have their lives on the line right now.”\nSenator Harry Reid of Nevada , the majority leader and a crucial proponent of the repeal, noted that some Republicans had indicated they might try to block Senate approval of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia because of their pique over the Senate action on the ban.\n“How’s that’s for statesmanship?” Mr. Reid said.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/us/politics/19cong.html?_r=1", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20180429164502/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/us/politics/19cong.html?_r=3" } ]

Panicked shoppers ran for cover or hid in shops.\nChildren were among the casualties, including an infant who was lightly injured, said Mayor Bas Eenhoorn. Three of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition.\n\"I saw a woman I know walking at the other side. She wanted to enter a shop when a tall young man approached and shot her in cold blood,\" witness Marjolein Nieuwland told the ANP news agency.\n\"He walked calmly and shot through the windows of the shop where I was hiding,\" she said.\n\"I also saw a woman in her motorized wheelchair shot in the head, and at the Albert Heijn (grocery store) there was a young man. Also dead. Later I heard that was the shooter,\" she said.\nThe rampage ended when the attacker shot himself in the head. \"It's too terrible for words, a shock for us all,\" said Eenhoorn. \"Alphen is in mourning.\"\nThe gunman was identified as 24-year-old Tristan van der Vlis, and it was \"all but certain\" he acted alone, District Attorney Kitty Nooy said. Afterward, a note was found in the attacker's black Mercedes containing threats that he had planted explosives at three other malls in the city, said Nooy. The malls were evacuated, but no explosives were found.\nA witness identified as Maart Verbeek told state broadcaster NOS the attacker appeared to be firing randomly.\n\"There was a panic in the mall, a lot of people running,\" said Verbeek, a pet shop owner. \"I see the attacker coming, walking, and I go inside the store ... and I see him going by with a big machine gun.\"\nWitness Martine Spruit, a 41-year-old receptionist, told The Associated Press she was shopping at a drug store when she heard bangs and people in the store hid behind shelves, realizing a shooting was taking place. Customers shouted for employees to lock the doors.\n\"Then we heard the shots getting further away, so he was walking back and forth,\" she said. \"Then we thought we'd have a look and there were two people lying dead near the entrance... Then he came back shooting so we locked the door again.\"\nNooy said the shooter was a native Dutchman from Alphen who had previous run-ins with the law, including an illegal weapons possession charge when he was only 17 years old that was later dropped. He lived with his father.\nHe had permits for five guns, including the machine gun, Mayor Eenhoorn said.\nThe exact type of weapon was not identified. Dutch law forbids ownership of most firearms, but makes exceptions for some collectors and hunters. Eenhoorn said prosecutors were investigating whether the permits had been properly granted.\nQueen Beatrix and Prime Minister Mark Rutte issued statements saying they were shocked and sympathize with the victims and their families.\nHours after the shooting, residents continued to gather at the mall, some of whom appeared to be in a daze.\n\"You hear about this sort of thing happening at American schools and you think that's a long way away,\" said Rob Kuipers, 50, a project manager. \"Now it's happened here in the Netherlands.\"\nNooy said there was \"no evidence\" to support rumors that the gunman was a former soldier or that his mother or father had been among the dead or wounded Saturday.\nEenhoorn said both the gunman's mother and father were cooperating with the police investigation. The mother found a suicide note at her son's apartment, but Eenhoorn said it did not offer any explanation for the attack.\n\"The text is a farewell note,\" Eenhoorn said. \"It says that he planned to commit suicide and a number of other things, but doesn't make reference to the terrible things he did.\"\nWitnesses said the attacker had long blond hair and wore a black jacket and camouflage pants.\nA resident who lives near the mall who gave his name as Marijn said the shooting went on for minutes.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "US endorses UN gay rights text", "text": "US endorses UN gay rights text\nWASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Wednesday formally endorsed a U.N. statement calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality, a measure that former President George W. Bush had refused to sign.\nThe move was the administration's latest in reversing Bush-era decisions that have been heavily criticized by human rights and other groups. The United States was the only western nation not to sign onto the declaration when it came up at the U.N. General Assembly in December.\n\"The United States supports the U.N.'s statement on human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity and is pleased to join the other 66 U.N. member states who have declared their support of the statement,\" said State Department spokesman Robert Wood.\n\"The United States is an outspoken defender of human rights and critic of human rights abuses around the world,\" Wood told reporters. \"As such, we join with other supporters of this statement, and we will continue to remind countries of the importance of respecting the human rights of all people in all appropriate international fora.\"\nThe Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the administration would endorse the statement.\nGay rights groups hailed the move.\n\"The administration's leadership on this issue will be a powerful rebuke of an earlier Bush administration position that sought to deny the universal application of human rights protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals,\" said Mark Bromley of the Council for Global Equality, which promotes equal rights for homosexuals.\n\"This is long past overdue and we are encouraged by the signal it sends that the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people will now be considered human rights,\" said Rea Carey, the executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.\nHuman rights groups had criticized the Bush administration when it refused to sign the statement when it was presented at the United Nations on Dec. 19. U.S. officials said then that the U.S. opposed discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation but that parts of the declaration raised legal questions that needed further review.\nAccording to negotiators, the Bush team had concerns that those sections could commit the federal government on matters that fall under state jurisdiction. In some states, landlords and private employers are allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation; on the federal level, gays are not allowed to serve openly in the military.\nBut Wood said a \"careful interagency review\" by the Obama administration had concluded that \"supporting this statement commits us to no legal obligations.\"\nWhen it was voted on in December, 66 of the U.N.'s 192 member countries signed the nonbinding declaration, which backers called an historic step to push the General Assembly to deal more forthrightly with anti-gay discrimination. It was endorsed by all 27 European Union members as well as Japan, Australia and Mexico.\nBut 70 U.N. members outlaw homosexuality — and in several, homosexual acts can be punished by execution. More than 50 nations, including members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, opposed the declaration.\nSome Islamic countries said at the time that protecting sexual orientation could lead to \"the social normalization and possibly the legalization of deplorable acts\" such as pedophilia and incest. The declaration was also opposed by the Vatican.\nCopyright © 2009 The Associated Press.

Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement Several EU states have criticised Pope Benedict for saying that the use of condoms could endanger public health and increase the problem of HIV/Aids. The Pope argued that distribution of condoms aggravated the problem, rather than helping to contain the virus, as he began a visit to Africa this week. France's foreign ministry said condoms were fundamental to prevention. German ministers said it was irresponsible to withhold family planning from the poorest of the poor. The Roman Catholic Church believes marital fidelity and sexual abstinence are the best way to prevent the spread of HIV. Some 22 million people are infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, according to UN figures for 2007. This amounts to about two-thirds of the global total. 'Extremely harmful' French foreign ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier said: \"While it is not up to us to pass judgment on Church doctrine, we consider that such comments are a threat to public health policies and the duty to protect human life.\" The Pope is making matters worse\nBert Koenders\nDutch development minister\nWhy the Pope opposes condoms In Berlin, German Health Minister Ulla Schmidt and Development Minister Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul said in a joint statement: \"Condoms save lives, in Europe as well as on other continents. \"Modern assistance to the developing world today must make access to family planning available to the poorest of the poor - especially the use of condoms. \"Anything else would be irresponsible.\" Dutch Development Minister Bert Koenders said it was \"extremely harmful and very serious\" that the Pope was \"forbidding people from protecting themselves\". \"There is an enormous stigma surrounding the subject of Aids and Aids sufferers face serious discrimination,\" he added. \"The Pope is making matters worse.\" 'Increasing the problem' On his way to Cameroon, the Pope said HIV/Aids was \"a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem\".\nPope's visit raises hopes Can Catholicism help Africa? The solution lay, he said, in a \"spiritual and human awakening\" and \"friendship for those who suffer\". Campaigners say condoms are one of the few methods proven to stop the spread of HIV. Rebecca Hodes, of the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa, said the Pope's \"opposition to condoms conveys that religious dogma is more important to him than the lives of Africans\". On Wednesday, the Pope attended a gathering of more than 30 Cameroonian bishops in the capital, Yaounde.\nThe Pope said Catholicism faced a threat from superstition He told the bishops they had to preserve traditional African families and protect the country's poor. \"In the context of globalisation with which we are all familiar, the Church takes a particular interest in those who are most deprived,\" he said. He said it was the duty of Christians to help to build \"a more just world where everyone can live with dignity\", the Associated Press reported. The Pope also warned of a threat to the Catholic Church in Cameroon from evangelical movements and from the \"growing influence of superstitious forms of religion\". Earlier on Wednesday, he held a private meeting with Mr Biya at the presidential palace. The BBC's Caroline Duffield in Yaounde says Mr Biya's consistent electoral victories have been widely condemned as fraudulent. Having spoken out publically against corruption, many Cameroonians will be hoping that the Pope delivered his message in private as well, says our correspondent.

A rival statement, read out by Syria, gathered some 60.\nThe two statements remained open for further signatures, the diplomats said.

E gli stop raffreddano Parigi\nNo del Vaticano all' ambasciatore gay\nRespinta la proposta della Francia, che rimane da un anno senza rappresentante\nCITTÀ DEL VATICANO - È ormai quasi un anno che la Francia, «la figlia primogenita della Chiesa», non ha un ambasciatore a rappresentarla presso la Santa Sede, una vacanza che non ha precedenti per la sua durata nella storia recente dei rapporti fra Vaticano e Parigi e che è stata prolungata dal rifiuto di un diplomatico omosessuale che convive con il suo compagno. Per due volte la scelta del Quai d' Orsay per Villa Bonaparte, la sede della rappresentanza nel cuore di Roma, è stata respinta. La prima volta la scelta è stata bloccata sul nascere quando è stato fatto presente al presidente Nicolas Sarkozy che lo scrittore Denis Tillinac da lui proposto era sì un fervente cattolico, ma era anche un divorziato risposato, cosa che avrebbe incontrato un' inevitabile bocciatura vaticana. Era caduta nel frattempo l' idea dello stesso Sarkozy d' inviare in Vaticano lo storico Max Gallo. La seconda volta la vicenda si è trasformata in un vero e proprio contrasto, benché rimasto a livelli molto riservati, perché il candidato è stato formalmente proposto nel rispetto di tutte le regole con una comunicazione ufficiale alla Segreteria di Stato vaticana. La risposta è stata un no secco, perché si trattava di un altissimo funzionario del Quai d' Orsay omosessuale dichiarato. Il rifiuto ha naturalmente raffreddato la volontà del Ministero di accelerare la nomina dell' ambasciatore. Anche perché si dice che l' alto funzionario, candidato all' incarico, sia rimasto molto ferito dal rifiuto, dal momento che è un cattolico praticante molto impegnato. Neppure la visita del papa a Parigi è valsa ad accelerare i tempi della nomina del successore dell' ambasciatore Bernard Kesseddjian, morto proprio alla vigilia della visita in Vaticano di Sarkozy. Il compito di accompagnare il pontefice in Francia è stato così affidato al segretario dell' ambasciata Pierre Cochard. Il Figaro Magazine ha seguito la vicenda parlando di vari rifiuti. Tra questi ci sarebbe stato anche quello del segretario generale aggiunto del Quai d' Orsay, Jean-Loup Kuhn-Delforge, che sarebbe stato «bocciato» a causa del suo «profilo personale». Così L' Elysée cerca ancora il candidato giusto. In lizza Stéphane Chmelewsky, un diplomatico che ha organizzato il viaggio del Papa e che è appoggiato da Emmanuelle Mignon (una delle più ascoltate fra i consiglieri personali di Sarkozy). Ma anche Marc Odendall, un uomo d' affari, amministratore d' istituzioni umanitarie, ben introdotto in Vaticano».", "url": "http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2008/settembre/28/del_Vaticano_all_ambasciatore_gay_co_9_080928050.shtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20081009220001/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2008/settembre/28/del_Vaticano_all_ambasciatore_gay_co_9_080928050.shtml" } ]

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Ants inhabit 'world without sex'", "text": "By Victoria Gill\nScience reporter, BBC News\nThese ants do not need males An Amazonian ant has dispensed with sex and developed into an all-female species, researchers have found. The ants reproduce via cloning - the queen ants copy themselves to produce genetically identical daughters. This species - the first ever to be shown to reproduce entirely without sex - cultivates a garden of fungus, which also reproduces asexually. The finding of the ants' \"world without sex\" is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Anna Himler, the biologist from the University of Arizona who led the research, told BBC News that the team used a battery of tests to verify their findings. Unusual evolution By \"fingerprinting\" DNA of the ant species - Mycocepurus smithii - they found them all to be clones of the colony's queen. And when they dissected the female insects, they found them to be physically incapable of mating, as an essential part of their reproductive system known as the \"mussel organ\" had degenerated. This species has evolved its own unusual mode of reproduction\nAnna Himler\nUniversity of Arizona Asexual reproduction of males from unfertilised eggs is a normal part of some insect reproduction, but asexual reproduction of females is \"exceedingly rare in ants\", wrote the researchers. \"In social insects, there are a number of different types of reproduction,\" explained Dr Himler. \"But this species has evolved its own unusual mode.\" She and her colleagues do not know exactly why this particular species has become fully asexual, and how long ago the phenomenon evolved. They are carrying out further genetic experiments, which will enable them to estimate how long ago the evolutionary change occurred. No sex please There are advantages to life without sex, Dr Himler explained. \"It avoids the energetic cost of producing males, and doubles the number of reproductive females produced each generation from 50% to 100% of the offspring.\" But combining genetic material in sexual reproduction gives future generations many more advantages. \"If we're more diverse, we're more resistant to parasites and disease,\" explained Laurent Keller, an expert in social insects from the University of Lausanne. \"In a colony of clones, if one ant is susceptible to a parasite, they will all be susceptible. So if you're asexual, you normally don't last very long. \"But in ants we're seeing more and more reports of unusual methods of reproduction,\" added Professor Keller, who was not involved in this study. He also points out that social insects, like ants, may be particularly well suited to this type of reproduction because it enables the queen to control the caste and sex of all the offspring in her colony. The first farmers Dr Himler's interest in Mycocepurus smithii was originally sparked not by their unusually biased sex ratio, but by their ability to cultivate crops. \"Ants discovered farming long before we did - they have been cultivating fungus gardens for an estimated 80 million years. More interested in gardening than sex \"They collect plant material, insect faeces and even dead insects from the forest floor and feed it to their crops,\" she said. Many different species of ant - including the famous leafcutter ants - cultivate fungi, relying on it for nutrition. But this particular species is able to grow \"a greater number of crops than other ant species\", she explained. \"When we started to study this species more closely, we just weren't finding any males. That's when we started to look at them in a different way.\" Since the fungus crop reproduces asexually, Dr Himler thinks it might give the ants some kind of advantage \"not to operate under the usual constraints of sexual reproduction\". \"There is certainly more work to be done in this system,\" she added. \"We're quite excited about the direction this research might take us, and its implications.\"\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Satelliten-Kollision war erst der Anfang", "text": "Gefährlicher Weltraumschrott:\nSatelliten-Kollision war erst der Anfang\n13. Feb 13:27\nWeltraumschrott wird für die Raumfahrt zunehmend zum Problem. Er hat in den vergangenen Jahren so stark zugenommen, dass er für Flüge der US-Raumfähren ein größeres Risiko darstellt als die Gefahr in den Start- und Landephasen. Seit Jahren überwacht eine eigene Einheit der US-Streitkräfte, das Space Surveillance Network, den Schrott. 17 Radaranlagen und acht Teleskope auf der Erde sowie ein Teleskop im Orbit scannen die Umlaufbahnen. Den Beobachtungen nach umkreisen derzeit rund 17.000 Trümmerteile mit einer Größe von mindestens zehn Zentimetern die Erde. Dazu kommen noch rund eine halbe Million kleinere Schrottsplitter mit einer Größe von ein bis zehn Zentimetern.\nDurch den Zusammenprall der zwei Satelliten am Dienstag 800 Kilometer über Sibirien kommen nun weitere Trümmer hinzu. «Momentan werden mehrere Dutzend Teile gezählt, sagte Mark Matney vom Johnson Raumfahrtzentrum in Houston. «Ich nehme an, dass es mehrere hundert sind, wenn die Zählung abgeschlossen ist», sagte der auf die Erforschung der Weltraumtrümmer spezialisierte Astronom. Die beiden künstlichen Himmelskörper kollidierten mit einer Geschwindigkeit von rund zehn Kilometer pro Sekunde.\nDer Zusammprall zweier Satelliten im All hat in einer ohnehin schon überfüllten Umlaufbahn eine Trümmerwolke um die Erde geschickt. Die kleinen Geschosse gefährden nun auch Esa-Satelliten.\nISS nicht gefährdet\nDie Teile der beiden Satelliten wurden in Umlaufbahnen geschossen, die sich in 500 bis 1300 Kilometern über der Erde befinden, wie der russische Generalmajor Alexander Jakuschin mitteilte. Die Trümmerteile umkreisen die Erde nun mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 200 Metern in der Sekunde. Es wird nach Einschätzung der Nasa Wochen dauern, bis feststeht, ob die Trümmerteile andere Satelliten oder das Weltraumteleskop Hubble gefährden könnten. Die Internationale Raumstation ISS und der kommende Start der Raumfähre «Discovery» am 22. Februar sind ersten Angaben nach aber nicht gefährdet. Wie die Organisation «Union of Concerned Scientists» mitteilte, ereignete sich der Zusammenprall in einer extrem überfüllten Umlaufbahn des Orbits. Bei der Kollision am Dienstag seien besonders viele kleine Teile weggesprengt worden, die nun für Jahrzehnte die Erde umkreisen. Die Wucht des Zusammenpralls habe eine Trümmerwolke verursacht, die ähnlich der Druckwelle eines Schusses die anderen Satelliten in dieser Höhe treffe, sagte David Wright von der Vereinigung. Die kleinen Trümmerteile zwischen einem und zehn Zentimetern seien dabei besonders gefährlich, da sie von den Scannern nicht bemerkt werden und somit einer weiteren Kollision ausgewichten werden könne.\nAngst bei der Esa\nAuch bei der europäischen Raumfahragentur Esa wird mit Sorge auf die eigenen Satelliten geschaut. Die beiden Presitigeobjekte, die Erdbeobachtungssatelliten «ERS-2» und «Envisat», umkreisen in exakt derselben Umlaufbahn wie die Unglückssatelliten die Erde. Ein Zusammenprall mit den rasend schnellen Trümmern würde fast zwangsläufig den Totalverlust bedeuten. Beide Erdbeobachter kosten jeweils mehrere Milliarden Euro. Vor der Kollision am Dienstag waren vier Fälle bekannt, bei denen Objekte im Weltraum zusammengestoßen sind. Dabei handelte es sich aber um kleinere Satelliten oder ausgebrannte Raketenstufen. «Wir wussten, dass dies irgendwann einmal passieren würde», kommentiert Nasa-Astronom Matney den jüngsten Vorfall. «Kollisionen werden in den kommenden Jahrzehnten eine immer größere Bedeutung haben.»\nHohe Geschwindigkeit\nNach Angaben «Union of Concerned Scientists» gab es im Jahr 2006 mehr als 800 aktive Satelliten im All. Der an der Kollision beteiligte russische Satellit Kosmos-2251 hatte ein Gewicht von nahezu 1000 Kilogramm, er wurde bereits 1993 für die militärische Kommunikation in den Weltraum gebracht und war seit 1995 nicht mehr funktionsfähig. Der amerikanische Iridium-Satellit wog 560 Kilogramm und zog seit 1997 seine Kreise um die Erde. Die US-Firma Iridium LLC betreibt zurzeit 65 aktive Satelliten im Weltraum. Ihr Hauptzweck ist die Übertragung von Gesprächen und Daten mit Satellitentelefonen. Acht Ersatzsatelliten kreisen zusätzlich, die bei einem Ausfall einspringen können. Die Iridium-Satelliten haben eine ungewöhnlich niedrige Umlaufbahn und rasen mit besonders hoher Geschwindigkeit um die Erde.", "url": "http://www.netzeitung.de/wissenschaft/1275118.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090215122141/http://www.netzeitung.de/wissenschaft/1275118.html" } ]

Juli 2018 verlangt Australien von Unternehmen, die Waren nach Australien verkaufen, die Erhebung einer Waren- und Dienstleistungssteuer (Goods and Services Tax, GST) auf Waren mit einem Wert von 1.000 Australischen Dollar (AUD) oder weniger. Hierbei handelt es sich um Waren, die von Händlern, Online-Marktplätzen und durch Wiederverkäufer vertrieben werden.\nUnternehmen, die pro Jahr mehr als ein 75.000 AUD dieser Waren von geringem Wert an Verbraucher in Australien verkaufen, müssen sich bei der australischen Steuerbehörde (Australian Tax Office, ATO) anmelden und GST auf diese Verkäufe berechnen.\nDiejenigen, die pro Jahr steuerpflichtige Lieferungen (einschließlich Waren von geringem Wert) in einem Wert von weniger als 75.000 AUD an Verbraucher in Australien vornehmen, werden nicht betroffen sein. Die Erhebung von GST auf Waren mit einem Wert von über 1.000 AUD wird nicht verlangt, da diese den bestehenden Grenzabgaben, Zoll- und Einfuhrabfertigungsprozessen unterliegen.\nDie Änderung wird sicherstellen, dass Waren von geringem Wert, die von Verbrauchern importiert werden, die gleiche Steuerbehandlung wie aus Australien stammende Waren erfahren. So werden fairere Wettbewerbsbedingungen zwischen lokalen Unternehmen und ihren globalen Wettbewerbern geschaffen, da inländische Lieferanten, unabhängig vom Wert des Produkts, bereits GST berechnen müssen.\nDie australischen Online-Shopping-Gewohnheiten haben in den letzten Jahren stetig zugenommen, wovon ausländische Einzelhändler profitieren.

The six countries are trying to settle on terms for disabling all of communist North Korea's nuclear-arms program.\nPlaying by the Rules\n``If they abide by this agreement, it would be a huge breakthrough and a sign of their willingness to play by the rules,'' Thomas Byrne, senior vice president for Moody's Investors Service, said by telephone. ``It appears to indicate that the regime is worried for its survival and needs outside help in reviving the economy.''\nEarlier this summer Moody's upgraded the credit rating for South Korea, partly in response to signs of flexibility from North Korea. Tension with the north has made companies less willing to invest in South Korea, Byrne said.\nNorth Korea, a nation of 23 million people, depends on outside aid, mostly from China and South Korea, because of years of flooding, drought and economic mismanagement. The government has been criticized by the United Nations and other bodies for diverting resources to its nuclear program at the expense of feeding its population.\nVice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, the head of North Korea's delegation, told reporters today, ``we made it clear, we showed clear willingness to declare and dismantle all nuclear facilities.'' He mentioned no dates, according to the Associated Press. ``We are happy with the way the peace talks went,'' Kim said, AP reported.\n`Full Declaration'\nThe North Korean government will ``provide a full declaration of all the nuclear programs and disable their nuclear programs by the end of this year,'' Hill told reporters today.\nNorth Korea was put on the U.S. State Department's list of nations sponsoring terrorism in 1988 after its agents were implicated in the bombing of a South Korean passenger airliner a year earlier that killed all 115 people on board. Designation as a state sponsor of terrorism results in U.S. sanctions, including curbs on economic aid and a ban on arms-related sales.\nKim declined to say whether the U.S. pledged to remove his government from its list of terrorism-sponsoring nations in return for North Korea's promise to shut down all nuclear facilities this year, the Korean news agency Kyodo reported.\nNorth Korean and Japanese negotiators will meet next week in Ulan Bator, Mongolia's capital. The six-party meeting follows in mid-September, probably in Beijing.\nTo contact the reporter on this story: Jennifer M.

The 23,000-ton vessel was also carrying tens of thousands of pounds of commercial insecticide and many bodies still remain trapped inside the wreckage. With fingerprint identification out of the question for most of the victims, and dental records not available, this leaves only DNA as a means of identification, with samples from recovered victims matched to those provided by the missing passengers’ relatives.\n“To have reached 100 DNA-assisted identifications is a significant milestone in terms of forensic achievements. More importantly it means that families who lost loved ones now have the opportunity to finally lay them to rest,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K.

We are committed to doing this until the last possible victim is identified and returned to their family,” he concluded.\nThe identification work is painstaking and slow to ensure all identifications are accurate and no errors are made. “It is going to take some time to complete this most difficult task,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Noble. “But we are committed to doing all in our power to identify all of the victims of this tragedy where we have received sufficient identifying information.
