Car plows into crowd during Dutch Queen's Day celebrations
Location of Apeldoorn in Gelderland Layout of the incident. Black indicates the path of the car, and purple the path of the coach carrying the royal family. Five people have died and at least 13 are injured after a car plowed into a crowd in front of Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands during celebrations of Queen's Day. At around 11:50 local time a black Suzuki Swift went through barriers erected to separate the onlooking crowd from traffic, subsequently striking a monument. Members of the Dutch royal family watched the incident take place from the open-topped bus. The incident was witnessed by many onlookers and photographers as well by media covering the pageant. "He came out of nowhere and dragged ten to fifteen people. There is blood everywhere and people being resuscitated," a photographer following the parade for ''De Telegraaf'' said. At around 12:00, all official activities in Apeldoorn were cancelled. Other Dutch cities have also cancelled or scaled back activities, such as the Radio 538 concert in Amsterdam and all celebrations in Rotterdam. The mayor of Apeldoorn stated that, "A good day has ended as a drama." Offical Flags throughout the Netherlands have been placed at half-mast. The Queen responded in a video speech and expressed her sympathy for the victims. During a press conference held at 15:45, police reported that the man, who was still conscious but heavily injured after the accident, had told police that it was a deliberate act. It was also reported that the 38-year-old, a Dutch national, had not been in contact with the police until earlier that day when he was stopped at one of the barriers. He has no prior history of psychological problems and there are no indications that any sort of terrorist group was involved. The Queen's Day celebrations, observing the birthday of the Dutch monarch, take place annually on April 30. Citizens of the country traditionally celebrate by holding late-night markets and decorating the streets of the Netherlands in orange bunting, honoring the House of Orange.

Advertisement A car driver has crashed into crowds watching a Dutch royal parade, killing five people, in an attempted attack on the royal family, officials say. The car careered into a monument metres from an open-topped bus carrying Queen Beatrix and members of her family. The royals, who were unharmed, watched in horror as the car ploughed into bystanders in Apeldoorn, about 90km (56 miles) east of Amsterdam. Officials said the 38-year-old driver had suffered life-threatening injuries. We're speechless that something so terrible could have happened\nQueen Beatrix\nIn pictures: Dutch parade crash Prosecutor Ludo Goossens said the man, who is a Dutch national, would be charged with attempting an attack on the royal family and murder - if he survives. \"The man indicated that his action was aimed against the royal family,\" Mr Goossens told journalists in Apeldoorn. After searching the car and his home, investigators ruled out terrorism as a motive and said it appeared he had acted alone. 'Bewilderment and disbelief' Members of the royal family were shown looking on in horror as the battered car rammed spectators before crashing into the stone monument. In a televised address, Queen Beatrix called the incident shocking, and said everyone would empathise with the victims and their families and friends. The royal family looked horrified as the events unfolded \"What began as a great day has ended in a terrible tragedy that has shocked us all deeply,\" she said. \"People who were standing close by, people who saw it happen on television, all those who lived through it, must have looked on with bewilderment and disbelief. \"We're speechless that something so terrible could have happened.\" Cynthia Boll, a photographer at the scene, told the BBC the car was already badly damaged before it slammed into the crowds at high speed. \"There were people everywhere, you could definitely see that it was serious because everywhere was blood and shoes ripped off and all the people giving CPR,\" she said. Other witnesses described people being flung into the air as the car crashed through the throngs who had turned out to see the queen. Officials said two men and two women died at the scene of the incident, while another person died later in hospital. Taken by surprise The crowds were celebrating Queen's Day - a national holiday in the Netherlands when thousands of people take to the streets to mark the queen's official birthday. Hundreds of police officers were on duty in a huge security operation that took months to plan. But the authorities said they were taken completely by surprise when the small black car smashed through a security fence and into the crowd of people. Following the incident, flags were lowered to half mast on government buildings across the country and all planned celebrations were called off.

Mocht hij komen te overlijden, dan is er geen strafzaak meer, zei hoofdofficier Goossens donderdagavond. Hij wilde geen antwoord geven op de vraag of het om een zelfmoordactie ging.\nDe aanslag wordt vanwege het nationale belang onderzocht door de Nationale Recherche, die samenwerkt met de politie van de regio Noord- en Oost-Gelderland. Alleen al de Nationale Recherche heeft 250 man op de zaak gezet. De politie roept getuigen met foto- en filmmateriaal op zich te melden via telefoonnummer 0800-6070.

Foto WFA\nApeldoorn, 30 april. Tijdens het bezoek van de koninklijke familie aan Apeldoorn is een 38-jarige man in een zwarte auto vandaag tegen twaalf uur in volle vaart door het publiek heen gereden, in een poging de bus van de koninklijke familie te raken. Daarbij zijn vijf doden en twaalf gewonden gevallen.\nHet Openbaar Ministerie (OM) verdenkt de dader, een autochtone Nederlander, van een poging tot aanslag op leden van het Koninklijk Huis. De dader, die in kritieke toestand in het ziekenhuis ligt en volgens bronnen van de NOS hersendood zou zijn, heeft volgens het OM net na de aanslag toegegeven dat zijn actie was gericht tegen de koninklijke familie. Hij zou niet eerder met politie en justitie in aanraking zijn geweest.\nDe zwarte Suzuki Swift waarmee de aanslag werd gepleegd, reed dwars door een afzetting en een rij publiek heen op het moment dat de koninklijke familie in een bus voorbijkwam. De auto passeerde de bus op zo'n vijftien meter en kwam tot stilstand tegen het hek rond monument De Naald. De voorkant van de auto was op dat moment al ernstig beschadigd.\nDe bus van de koninklijke familie, een gewone stadsbus zonder dak, was net vanuit de Loolaan het kruispunt op gedraaid. De inzittenden konden zien hoe de Suzuki het monument ramde.\nKoningin Beatrix, kroonprins Willem-Alexander en prinses Máxima sprongen op en de prinses sloeg in verbijstering haar hand voor de mond. Ooggetuigen meldden later dat ze op dat moment vreesden voor een ontploffing – maar die bleef uit.\nDe mensen die in Apeldoorn zijn gedood, zijn drie mannen en twee vrouwen. Dat maakte burgemeester Fred de Graaf van Apeldoorn bekend. De gewonden zijn vijf mannen, vier vrouwen en drie kinderen van zestien, vijftien en negen jaar oud. Het gaat daarbij om kneuzingen, botbreuken, hersen- en schedelletsel. Onder de gewonde slachtoffers zijn vijf familieleden van leden van een Tilburgse drumband, een politieagent en een medewerker van de Koninklijke Marechaussee.\nVolgens ooggetuigen, onder wie NRC Handelsblad-fotograaf Merlin Daleman, had de man ,,duidelijk de bedoeling” om de bus waarin de koninklijke familie zat te raken. „De auto accelereerde, de chauffeur gaf duidelijk gas”, aldus Daleman, wiens observatie vanmiddag werd gedeeld door andere getuigen.\nDe Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst en burgemeester Fred de Graaf van Apeldoorn meldden ruim een half uur na de crash dat alle festiviteiten werden afgelast.\nHeeft u beeld van voor of tijdens het drama? NRC wil een reconstructie maken van de situatie ter plekke en kan uw hulp daarbij gebruiken. E-mailen kan naar web@nrc.nl\nHulpverleners waren snel ter plekke en werden bijgestaan door omstanders.\nDe Explosieven Opruimingsdienst kwam later op het kruispunt met honden om de auto aan een onderzoek onderwerpen.\nEnkele ooggetuigen meldden dat ze de auto eerder op de dag al hadden zien rijden op de Amersfoortseweg, die ook uitkomt op hetzelfde kruispunt. Een van hen zei in het Radio 1 Journaal: „De auto werd geblokkeerd door de politie. Toen zag ik de auto een zijstraat nemen. Hij reed als een speer weg. Later hoorde ik dat er een ongeluk was gebeurd. Ik dacht dat kan niet anders dan deze auto zijn. In de auto zat, denk ik, een knul van een jaar of 25, 26.”\nNa de crash tegen De Naald werd de bestuurder door de brandweer uit de auto gezaagd. Om 12.17 uur werd hij, nadat hij enkele minuten naakt op de grond had gelegen, in de gereedstaande ambulance getild, zonder witte lakens over hem heen, wat doet vermoeden dat hij in elk geval op dat moment nog leefde.\nDe bus met de koninklijke familie was inmiddels doorgereden naar paleis ’t Loo.

Sarkozy ofrece ayuda a Egipto en su programa nuclear
Nicolas Sarkozy El Presidente de Francia, Nicolas Sarkozy declaró que existe una tendencia de ayudar a Egipto con su programa nuclear, según lo que dijo a un diario oficialista francés este sábado. Este anunció lo realizó en el marco de su visita al país árabe, y previa al encuentro con el presidente egipcio Hosni Mubarak. El programa egipcio de energía nuclear fue reactivado en octubre de este año, tras varios de encontrase detenido por el desastre de la planta nuclear de Chernobyl. Esta reactivación del su programa busca diversificar las fuentes energéticas del país, para preservar las reservas de gas y petróleo para generaciones futuras, descartando el uso bélico de la energía. Egipto es una las naciones que ratificó el Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear de 1981, pero no apoyará un protocolo donde las Naciones Unidas pueda inspeccionar las instalaciones nucleares sin aviso. El apoyo de Francia se suma a los realizados por China, Rusia y Kazakistán.

Sensitive Canadian document found on rainy streets
A sensitive Environment Canada document was found wet on an Ottawa street by someone who gave it to the CBC today. The 131-page document was found on Castlefrank Road in Kanata, Ontario in a rain-stained, tire-marked brown envelope by a passerby. The document which had the stamp Protected B on every page detailed various security vulnerabilities of the NEMISIS database which is used by officers to track and prosecute environmental law-breakers. If someone were able to shut the system down, or hack inside and delete or corrupt the information, it could affect the prosecution of the lawbreakers. The database was unveiled in 1999 as the National Enforcement Management Information System and Intelligence System. However, on the document, it referred to the database as National Enforcement and Emergency Management Information System and Intelligence System, adding the words "and Emergency" to the name. Protection B documents are the second lowest grade of classified government documents. Environment Canada spokesperson Julie Hahn said they apply to letters of complaint, criticism or injury, research or scientific notes and findings that don`t have any conclusion, and Treasury Board letters, agendas and minutes that don`t deal with subjects of national interest. Environment Minister John Baird has asked government officials how such documents that are supposed to be stored in "approved security cabinets" wound up on the street. "I'm told two things: that it's neither classified nor secret and that it's stuff that could be available under access to information," Baird said. Environment Canada spokeswoman Sujata Raisinghani told CBC News the department will look into the incident. "We take document security seriously," she said, but refused to give any more details about how the papers came to be on a road. Paul Dewar, an Ottawa New Democrat MP, said the combined security lapses raise serious questions about the government's ability to secure sensitive documents. Dewar says that bureaucrats of the Conservative government have complained to him about document security to the point that they can`t share the information with their own colleagues. However, when a government document has been found on the streets, the government then says it wasn't particularly sensitive. "This government is so consumed with control of information and secrecy yet they don't seem to be able to get the fundamentals right," Dewar said. The incident is a reminiscent of two other incidents. In March, a bundle of blueprints for a new headquarters for the military's counterterrorism unit were found stuffed in the trash on a downtown street. In May, Maxime Bernier was forced to resign as Foreign Affairs minister after it became known that he left sensitive documents at the apartment of his then-girlfriend Julie Couillard who had ties to the Hells Angels biker gang.

(CBC) This document, marked 'Protected B,' describes ways that intruders could hack into an Environment Canada intelligence and enforcement database called NEMISIS. It was found lying on an Ottawa street corner. (CBC)\nA sensitive government document detailing a classified computer database has been given to the CBC after it was found lying on an Ottawa street in a rain-stained, tire-marked brown envelope.\nThe document is a risk assessment of an Environment Canada classified environmental enforcement database. It details a number of the system's failings and describes exactly how the data could be attacked and corrupted, the CBC's James Cudmore reported.\nThe so-called NEMISIS database is used by officers to track and prosecute polluters and environmental law-breakers.\nThe acronym stood for National Enforcement Management Information System and Intelligence System when it was unveiled in 1999.

Senior citizen group seeks recovery of Medicare expenses from U.S. cigarette makers
A U.S. lobbyist group, the , filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in to recover expenses related to tobacco smoking. The suit says there is a link between and smoking-related diseases. The first of its kind lawsuit seeks to recover as much as $60 billion in estimated Medicare expenses outlaid for treatment of and patients. The ''Medicare Secondary Payer Statute'' (MSP) allows someone to sue on behalf of Medicare. The medical expenses that another party was legally obligated to cover, in this case the tobacco companies if they are found liable in court, would be split between parties to the suit and Medicare. The MSP statute was entered in part because the government does not have the resources to prosecute every case under Medicare law. Charles Jarvis, the CEO of the group said, "Our motivation is one of taxpayer protection." He added, "Considering how badly the taxpayers have been injured financially, we believe the responsible parties — the tobacco companies — should be reimbursing the taxpayer to the greatest amount possible under the law." Currently, U.S. employees are taxed by Medicare at 1.45% of their earnings. This payroll tax amount is matched by their employer when paid to the . The lawsuit names , , the , and and two of its subsidiaries as defendants. The United Seniors Association is asking for twice the amount paid by Medicare to treat smoking related illnesses since 1999.

Concluye rescate de víctimas de explosión en mina colombiana
Con la salida del cuerpo de Héctor de Jesús Sánchez se dio por terminada la búsqueda de cuerpos de mineros en Amagá, donde la semana pasada ocurrió la explosión que al final, acabó con la vida de los 73 que no lograron salir del túnel. 90 escaparon antes. Curiosamente, Sánchez fue el primero que ingresó a la mina en la noche del miércoles 16, horas antes de ocurriera la explosión. Según Ángela Agudelo, una de las personas que se hizo presente en la misa celebrada en honor a los fallecidos, "fue el hombre más bueno que he conocido, el más solidario y humano. Cuando hace cinco años me dejó mi esposo, sufrí mucho y él fue mi apoyo". Su cuerpo fue enterrado a las 10:30 de ayer, hora local, junto al de los últimos cinco compañeros rescatados. Se esperan ahora los resultados de la investigación que será coordinada desde el Ministerio de Minas y Energía, con el propósito de dar a conocer las causas de la explosión, aunque por ahora se considera responsable a la acumulación de gases en los socavones, y contribuya al mejoramiento de las condiciones laborales de los mineros.

Astronomie : une collision entre deux étoiles sera visible dans moins de 5 ans
Les orbites des deux étoiles se rapprochent de plus en plus rapidement, évoquant une collision imminente. Des chercheurs de l’université Calvin, dans le estiment qu'aux alentours de l'an 2022, deux étoiles déjà très rapprochées l'une de l'autre entreront en collision, provoquant une explosion massive sous la forme d'une nova rouge. Ce phénomène nous apparaîtra comme étant l'un des points les plus brillants dans le ciel pendant un certain temps. ;Étoile binaire Les deux étoiles forment déjà une étoile binaire, c.-à-d. deux étoiles qui gravitent autour d'un centre commun. La paire est nommée KIC 9832227, et le rayon de la plus grosse des deux étoiles est 40 fois plus grand que le rayon du Soleil. Les étoiles binaires ne sont pas rares, cependant KIC 9832227 a la particularité suivante : les deux étoiles la composant sont à une distance tellement faible l'une de l'autre qu'elles partagent une partie de leur atmosphère. Les astrophysiciens ont déterminé que, plus les années avancent, plus la vitesse de l'orbite des deux étoiles augmente, ce qui signifie qu'elles se rapprochent à une vitesse titanesque, ce qui rend la collision inévitable. ;Collision vieille de 2 000 ans Les astronomes amateurs pourront observer l'augmentation progressive de la luminosité des deux étoiles, ainsi que le phénomène de nova rouge suivant l'explosion. Il est important de savoir que, comme cette étoile binaire est située à années-lumière de la Terre, la collision a déjà eu lieu il y a environ ans, mais la lumière de celle-ci ne nous sera visible que dans environ 5 ans.

It’s notoriously hard to predict when such stellar catastrophes will occur, but this binary pair is engaged in a well-documented dance of death that will inevitably come to a head in the next few years, they say. The researchers began studying the pair, known as KIC 9832227, in 2013 before they were certain whether it was actually a binary or a pulsating star. They found that the speed of the orbit was gradually getting faster and faster, implying the stars are getting closer together. The pair is so close, in fact, they share an atmosphere (as in this artist’s conception of an unrelated stellar merger). KIC 9832227’s behavior reminded the researchers of another binary pair, V1309 Scorpii, which also had a merged atmosphere, was spinning up faster and faster, and exploded unexpectedly in 2008. Now, after 2 years of careful study to confirm the accelerating spin and eliminate alternative explanations, the team reported here today at the American Astronomical Society’s annual meeting that the pair will explode as a “red nova”—an explosion caused by a binary merging—in about 5 years’ time. The scientists will continue to monitor KIC 9832227 over the coming years to both firm up their prediction and learn more about how such a death spiral ends in a red nova. Amateur astronomers can study it, too, measuring how it fluctuates in brightness at an ever-increasing rate.

Astronomers predict that the binary star will merge and create a bright explosion visible in the constellation Cygnus.\n\"It's a one-in-a-million chance that you can predict an explosion\" of a star, Larry Molnar, an astronomy professor at Calvin College who predicted the timing of the binary collision, said in a statement from the college. \"It's never been done before.\" [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]\nMolnar has been studying this binary star system since 2013 with the help of astronomy students at Calvin College. Based on their observations of the color and brightness of one of the two stars, the researchers determined that KIC 9832227 is part of a contact binary system, which means the two stars share an atmosphere.\nWhat's more, observations show that the star's orbital period with its partner is getting shorter — similar to the way another contact binary star, named V1309 Scorpii, behaved before it exploded in 2008, according to the statement.

If all goes according to plan, the astronomers will have caught, for the first time, a binary star in the act of exploding.\n\"The project is significant not only because of the scientific results, but also because it is likely to capture the imagination of people on the street,\" Matt Walhout, dean for research and scholarship at Calvin College, said in the statement.\nMolnar said he would like amateur astronomers to play a role in tracking the star during the last few years of its life.\n\"The orbital timing can be checked by amateur astronomers,\" Molnar said. \"It's amazing the equipment amateur astronomers have these days.

SPD-regierte Bundesländer und Grüne bringen Laufzeitverlängerung für Atomkraftwerke vor das Bundesverfassungsgericht
Die SPD-regierten Bundesländer Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Berlin, Brandenburg und Bremen sowie Bundestagsabgeordnete von SPD und Bündnis 90/Die Grünen reichten heute beim deutschen Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG) in Karlsruhe Klage gegen das begleitende Sicherheitsgesetz der von der Koalition beschlossenen Laufzeitverlängerung für Kernkraftwerke ein. Nach Auffassung der rot-grünen Politiker verstößt das Gesetz gegen das im Grundgesetz verankerte Recht auf Leben und körperliche Unversehrtheit. Außerdem bemängeln die Kläger, dass die Bundesregierung bei der Entscheidung über das Gesetz den Bundesrat, die Länderkammer, ausgeschlossen hat. Die Bundesländer erwarten durch den Beschluss der Bundesregierung Mehrkosten in Höhe von 600 Millionen bis zu zwei Milliarden Euro, die durch einen „erheblichen Nachrüstungsbedarf“ für überalterte Atommeiler entstünden (Zitate aus der Klageschrift laut Spiegel). Bemängelt werden außerdem ein mangelhafter Schutz der älteren Atomkraftwerke gegen Flugzeugabstürze sowie die seit Jahrzehnten ungeklärte Entsorgungsfrage für die Entsorgung ausgebrannter Brennelemente und anderer radioaktiver Abfälle aus den Kernkraftwerken. Mit einer Entscheidung wird nicht vor 2013 gerechnet, also nicht mehr im Laufe der aktuellen Legislaturperiode des Deutschen Bundestages.

Die SPD-regierten Länder Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Berlin, Brandenburg und Bremen haben am Montag in Karlsruhe eine Klage gegen die Verlängerung der AKW-Laufzeiten eingereicht. Das berichtet das Nachrichtenmagazin „Der Spiegel“. Die nordrhein-westfälische Ministerpräsidentin Hannelore Kraft (SPD) hatte im Oktober vergangenen Jahres den gefassten Beschluss der Laufzeitverlängerung um weitere zwölf Jahre scharf kritisiert und eine Klage angekündigt.\nNach Auffassung der Kläger hätte das Gesetz von der schwarz-gelben Koalition im Bundestag nicht ohne Zustimmung der Länder erlassen werden dürfen. Die Laufzeitverlängerung werde zu einem „erheblichen Nachrüstungsbedarf“ der Atommeiler führen, heißt es laut „Spiegel“ in der Klageschrift. Dabei wären vor allem die zuständigen Landesbehörden gefordert.\nDie Kosten für die Maßnahmen lägen „pro Kernkraftwerk zwischen 600 Millionen und zwei Milliarden Euro“. So müssten etwa Vorrichtungen zur Abwehr von Terroranschlägen geprüft und die Ermüdungsanalysen für jedes einzelne AKW systematisch neu bewertet werden. „Der den Landesbehörden entstehende Aufwand kommt dem einer Neugenehmigung zumindest nahe“, heißt es in der Klage.\nUnabhängig davon wollen auch die Bundestagsfraktionen von SPD und Grünen kommende Woche eine Verfassungsklage gegen die längeren Akw-Laufzeiten einreichen.

Die Regierungskoalition, die in der Länderkammer keine Mehrheit hat, hatte die Laufzeitverlängerung als dort nicht zustimmungspflichtig durchgesetzt. \"Die Bundesregierung nimmt wissentlich einen Verfassungsbruch in Kauf\", sagte Karl-Heinz Klär, Vertreter von Rheinland-Pfalz beim Bund. Die Klage auf Initiative von SPD und Grünen richtet sich zudem gegen das begleitende Sicherheitsgesetz. Nach Auffassung der beiden Parteien werden Sicherheitsstandards gesenkt, was aber den längeren AKW-Laufzeiten widerspreche.

Dieses Quorum erfüllen SPD und Grüne. Die Fraktion der Linken erklärte, sie werde die Klage selbstverständlich unterstützen.\nDas Umweltministerium wies darauf hin, dass die Verfassungsmäßigkeit der Verlängerung sowie des Gesetzes zur Reaktorsicherheit von Innen- und Justizministerium geprüft worden seien. \"Das einhellige Votum der Verfassungsressorts zu den beiden Gesetzen ist Rechtsauffassung der gesamten Bundesregierung\", sagte eine Ministeriumssprecherin. Der Energiekonzern RWE argumentierte, verschiedene Gutachten hätten ergeben, dass eine Zustimmung des Bundesrats nicht nötig sei. Andernfalls habe auch der Atommausstieg 2001 der Zustimmung der Länder bedurft, die es damals auch nicht gegeben habe.\nNeben der fehlenden Zustimmung des Bundesrates beklagen SPD und Grüne vor allem die nach ihrer Auffassung unzureichenden Sicherheitsstandards. Die Atomkraftwerke seien auf die längeren Laufzeiten nicht ausgelegt. Das vom Bund ausgearbeitete Begleitgesetz zur Sicherheit sei völlig unzureichend. Ein effektiver Schutz gegen Flugzeugabstürze oder Anschläge sei dort nicht verankert.\nDie Bundesregierung hatte mit dem Gesetz die Laufzeiten von älteren Reaktoren um acht Jahre und von neueren um 14 Jahre ausgedehnt. Zugleich hatte sie auch eine Brennelementesteuer von rund 2,3 Milliarden Euro jährlich eingeführt, um die Extra-Gewinne der Versorger abzuschöpfen.

Auch interne Einschätzungen von Innen- und Justizministerium, die Reuters vorliegen, hatten nur eine moderate Ausweitung der Laufzeiten ohne den Bundesrat für möglich gehalten. Nach Auffassung der Länder ist eine Ausweitung um mehr als ein Drittel aber nicht moderat zu nennen.\nBundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel hatte nach der Bundestagswahl in die Koalitionsgespräche über die Laufzeitverlängerung eingegriffen und sich gegen eine Entscheidung vor den Wahlen in Nordrhein-Westfalen im Mai 2010 ausgesprochen. Bis dahin hatten Union und FDP noch eine Mehrheit in der Länderkammer. Nach der Niederlage von Schwarz-Gelb in NRW musste die Verlängerung ohne den Bundesrat umgesetzt werden.\nEine Entscheidung über die Verfassungsklagen noch in dieser Wahlperiode, also bis 2013, gilt als unwahrscheinlich.

Suicide bomber at US base in Afghanistan was al-Qaeda double agent
Media in the United States says a suicide bomber who attacked a Central Intelligence Agency base in eastern Afghanistan last week was a Jordanian working as an al-Qaeda double agent. The reports say current and former Western intelligence officials identified the suicide bomber as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a 36-year-old physician and al-Qaeda sympathizer from Zarqa, Jordan. U.S. television network NBC says Jordanian authorities arrested al-Balawi more than a year ago and later recruited him to infiltrate al-Qaeda, believing he had been successfully reformed. Due to his medical background, it is believed his mission was to find and meet Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second-in-command. The CIA declined to comment on the reports. According to multiple sources, al-Balawi posted online in jihadist forums under the name Abu Dujanah al-Khurasani. One post by him read, "When a fighter for God kills a U.S. soldier on the corner of a tank, the supporters of Jihad have killed tens of thousands of Americans through their connection to the opposition." Jarret Brachman, consultant to the US government on terrorism said in a telephone interview to ''The New York Times'', "He’s one of the most revered authors on the jihadists' forums. He’s in the top five jihadists. He's one of the biggest guns out there." Evan Kohlmann, who tracks jihadi Web sites for NBC News said, "He was actually an administrator on the now-defunct Al-Hesbah forum, previously al-Qaeda's main chat forum." The bombing last Wednesday at the CIA base, known as Forward Operating Base Chapman, in Afghanistan's Khowst province killed seven CIA employees and a Jordanian officer. The U.S. military's intelligence chief in Afghanistan has criticized the work of U.S. intelligence agencies operating there, saying they are "ignorant" and out of touch with the Afghan people. General Michael Flynn says U.S. intelligence efforts have focused too much on gathering information about insurgent groups in Afghanistan. He says U.S. intelligence has been unable to inform U.S. and NATO forces about the environment in which they operate and the Afghan people whom they seek to persuade. His comments were published in a report issued Monday by a U.S. think tank, the Center for a New American Security. The bodies of the seven CIA employees killed in the Khowst attack arrived Monday at a U.S. Air Force base in the East Coast state of Delaware. A small, private ceremony was held at the base, attended by friends and family and CIA Director Leon Panetta. The bombing was the second-deadliest attack in the U.S. intelligence agency's history. In a statement, CIA spokesman George Little described the fallen employees as "patriots who courageously served their nation." In message to employees the day after the bombing, Panetta said, "Those who fell yesterday were far from home and close to the enemy, doing the hard work that must be done to protect our country from terrorism." Jordan's state news agency, Petra, identified the Jordanian officer killed in the bombing as Sharif Ali bin Zaid. It says he was killed while "performing the sacred duty of Jordanian forces in Afghanistan." NATO says Jordan has seven troops in Afghanistan. NBC News says Bin Zaid was an intelligence agent and a first cousin of Jordan's King Abdullah II. Both the Afghan Taliban and Pakistani Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack.

NBC's Richard Engel reports.\nBy Robert Windrem and Richard Engel NBC News\nThe suicide bombing on a CIA base in Afghanistan last week was carried out by a Jordanian doctor who was an al-Qaida double-agent, Western intelligence officials told NBC News.\nInitial reports said that the attack, which killed seven CIA officers, was carried out by a member of the Afghan National Army.\nAccording to Western intelligence officials, the perpetrator was Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, 36, an al-Qaida sympathizer from Zarqa, which is also the hometown of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant Islamist believed responsible for several devastating attacks in Iraq.\nAl-Balawi was arrested by Jordanian intelligence more than a year ago. He had moderated the main al-Qaida chat forum before his arrest and was known online as Abu Dujanah al-Khurasani.\n“Abu Dujanah was an active member of jihadi forums,” said Evan Kohlmann, who tracks jihadi Web sites for NBC News. “He was actually an administrator on the now-defunct Al-Hesbah forum, previously al-Qaida's main chat forum.”\nThe Jordanians believed that al-Balawi had been successfully reformed and brought over to the American and Jordanian side. They set him up as an agent and sent him to Afghanistan and Pakistan to infiltrate al-Qaida.\nHis specific mission, according to officials, was to find and meet Ayman al Zawahiri, al-Qaida’s No. 2, also a physician.\nHowever, a Taliban spokesman, quoted on the Al-Jazeera Web site, said al-Balawi misled Jordanian and U.S. intelligence services for a year. The spokesman, Al-Hajj Ya'qub, promised to release a video confirming his account of the Afghanistan attack.\nOn martyrdom\nAfter he arrived in Afghanistan last year, al-Balawi was interviewed by one of al-Qaida’s main Internet sites, the Vanguards of Khurasan, on the subject of martyrdom.\n“When you ponder the verses and hadiths that speak about jihad and its graciousness, and then you let your imagination run wild to fly with what Allah has prepared for martyrs, your life become cheap for its purpose, and the extravagant houses and expensive cars and all the decoration of life become very distasteful in your eyes,” he told the interviewer.\nHe added, “They say 'there's love that kills.' And I only see that as truthful in the love for jihad, as this love is either going to kill you in repentance should you choose to sit away from jihad, or will kill you as a martyr for the cause of Allah if you choose to go to Jihad, and the human must choose between these two deaths.”\nLast week, according to the Western officials, al-Balawi reportedly called his handler to say he needed to meet with the CIA’s team based in Khost, Afghanistan, because he said he had urgent information he needed to relay about Zawahiri.\nClose relations with Jordanian intelligence\nHis handler was a senior intelligence official, identified in Jordanian press accounts as Sharif Ali bin Zeid.\nBut bin Zeid was not just a Jordanian intelligence officer; he was also a member of the Jordanian royal family and was a first cousin of the king and grandnephew of the first king Abdullah.\nBin Zeid’s prominent role offers rare insight into the close partnership between American and Jordanian intelligence officials and how crucial their relationship has become to the overall counterterrorism strategy.\n\"We have a close partnership with the Jordanians on counterterrorism matters,\" a U.S. official told The Washington Post. \"Having suffered serious losses from terrorist attacks on their own soil, they are keenly aware of the significant threat posed by extremists.\"\nJordan's official news agency, Petra, said bin Zeid was killed \"on Wednesday evening as a martyr while performing the sacred duty of the Jordanian forces in Afghanistan\" and provided no further details about his death.\nMeanwhile, Al-Jazeera reported that al-Balawi's family refused to speak to the media on instructions from Jordanian security services.\nSources close to the family told Al-Jazeera's Web site that Jordanian Intelligence arrested the perpetrator's younger brother and ordered his father not to set up a condolence tent for his son so that it would not turn into a gathering place for jihadist sympathizers.\nKey base for CIA\nAccording to Western officials, bin Zeid, along with the seven CIA officers, were killed when al-Balawi, the formerly trusted informant turned double-agent, detonated his suicide belt at Camp Chapman.\nSome of the officers had flown in from Kabul for what was thought to be an important meeting.\nThe base was used to direct and coordinate CIA operations and intelligence gathering in Khost, a hotbed of insurgent activity because of its proximity to Pakistan's lawless tribal areas, former CIA officials said.

The most successful strike, in August, killed former Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud at his father-in-law's home.\nThe Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA base has been at the heart of overseeing this covert program.

Oppel Jr., Mark Mazzetti and Souad Mekhennet.\nISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The suicide bomber who killed seven C.I.A. officers and a Jordanian spy last week was a double agent who was taken onto the base in Afghanistan because the Americans hoped he might be able to deliver top members of Al Qaeda’s network, according to Western government officials.\nThe bomber had been recruited by the Jordanian intelligence service and taken to Afghanistan to infiltrate Al Qaeda by posing as a foreign jihadi, the officials said.\nBut in a deadly turnabout, the supposed informant strapped explosives to his body and blew himself up at a meeting Wednesday at the C.I.A.’s Forward Operating Base Chapman in the southeastern province of Khost.\nThe attack at the C.I.A. base dealt a devastating blow to the spy agency’s operations against militants in the remote mountains of Afghanistan, eliminating an elite team using an informant with strong jihadi credentials. The attack further delayed hope of penetrating Al Qaeda’s upper ranks, and also seemed potent evidence of militants’ ability to strike back against their American pursuers.\nIt could also jeopardize relations between the C.I.A. and the Jordanian spy service, which officials said had vouched for the would-be informant.\nThe Jordanian service, called the General Intelligence Directorate, for years has been one of the C.I.A.’s closest and most useful allies in the Middle East.\nIn a telephone interview, a person associated with the Pakistani Taliban identified the bomber as Humam Khalil Mohammed, a Jordanian physician. Western officials said that Mr. Mohammed had been in a Jordanian prison and that he was recruited by the Jordanian spy service.\nThe bomber was not closely searched because of his perceived value as someone who could lead American forces to senior Qaeda leaders, and because the Jordanian intelligence officer had identified him as a potentially valuable informant, the Western officials said.\nThe Western officials and others who were interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.\nCurrent and former American officials said Monday that because of Mr. Mohammed’s medical background, he might have been recruited to find the whereabouts of Ayman al-Zawahri, the Egyptian doctor who is Al Qaeda’s second in command.\nAgency officers had traveled from Kabul, the Afghan capital, to Khost for a meeting with the informant, a sign that the C.I.A. had come to trust the informant and that it was eager to learn what he might have gleaned from operations in the field, according to a former C.I.A. official with experience in Afghanistan.\nThe former official said that the fact that militants could carry out a successful attack using a double agent showed their strength even after a steady barrage of missile strikes fired by C.I.A. drone aircraft.\n“Double agent operations are really complex,” he said. “The fact that they can pull this off shows that they are not really on the run. They have the ability to kick back and think about these things.”\nThe death of the Jordanian intelligence officer, Capt. Sharif Ali bin Zeid, was reported in recent days by Jordanian officials, but they did not confirm exactly where he was killed or what he was doing in Afghanistan.\nJordanian intelligence officials were deeply embarrassed by the attacks because they had taken the informant to the Americans, said one American government official briefed on the events.\nThe official said that the Jordanians had such a good reputation with American intelligence officials that the informant was not screened before entering the compound.\nJarret Brachman, author of “Global Jihadism: Theory and Practice” and a consultant to the United States government about terrorism, said in a telephone interview that Mr. Mohammed had used the online persona Abu Dujana al-Khorasani and was an influential jihadi voice on the Web.\n“He’s one of the most revered authors on the jihadists’ forums,” Mr. Brachman said.\n“He’s in the top five jihadists. He’s one of the biggest guns out there.”\nIn many of the posts under his online persona, Mr. Mohammed used elusive language filled with references to literature and the Koran to describe his support for violent opposition to the United States-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.\n“When a fighter for God kills a U.S. soldier on the corner of a tank, the supporters of Jihad have killed tens of thousands of Americans through their connection” to the opposition, he wrote in one posting.\nMr. Brachman said that Al Fajr Media, which is Al Qaeda’s official media distribution network, conducted an interview with Abu Dujana al-Khorasani published in Al Qaeda’s online magazine, called Vanguards of Khorasan.\nThe name of the bomber was first reported by Al Jazeera, which identified him as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi. The television network reported that Mr. Balawi was taken to Afghanistan to help track down Mr. Zawahri.\nThe attack was also embarrassing for Jordan’s government, which did not want the depths of its cooperation with the C.I.A. revealed to its own citizens or other Arabs in the region.\nA statement by the official Jordanian news agency said Captain Zeid was killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday “as he performed his humanitarian duty with the Jordanian contingent of the U.N. peacekeeping forces.”\nThe United States, and the C.I.A. in particular, are deeply unpopular in Jordan, where at least half the population is of Palestinian origin and where Washington’s support for Israel is roundly condemned.\nKing Abdullah II and his government, while working closely with Washington in counterterrorism operations and providing strategic support for operations in Iraq, try to keep that work secret.\nThe Pakistani Taliban had previously said the bomber was someone the C.I.A. had recruited to work with them, who then offered the militants his services as a double agent.\nThe General Intelligence Directorate has received millions of dollars from the C.I.A. since the American invasion of Iraq, where the Jordanian spy agency played a central role in the campaign against Iraqi insurgents.\nIn the past, Jordanian officials have privately criticized American intelligence services, saying they relied too heavily on technology and not enough on agents capable of infiltrating operations. In 2006, the Jordanians were credited with helping to locate and kill Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia.\nThe C.I.A. declined to comment about the circumstances of the bombing in Afghanistan.\nCurrent and former American intelligence officials said the C.I.A. base in Khost was used to collect intelligence about militant networks in the border region.\nThe C.I.A. officers on the base used the information to plan strikes against Qaeda and Taliban leaders, along with top operatives of the Haqqani network.\nUnited States officials have been applying pressure to the government of Pakistan to drive out the Haqqani network, whose fighters hold sway over parts of Afghanistan, including Paktika, Paktia and Khost Provinces, and are a serious threat to American forces.\nA second former C.I.A. official said that Mr. Zeid’s presence on the Khost base was a sign that the Jordanian intelligence agency was using a spy to infiltrate militant networks in the region, and most likely to penetrate cells of Arab Qaeda militants.\n“If the Jordanian intelligence officer had been vouching for this guy, the C.I.A. would definitely have wanted him on the base,” said the former officer.\nThe remains of the seven C.I.A. officers killed in the attack arrived in a military plane on Monday at Dover Air Force Base, where a private ceremony was held. The event was attended by Leon E. Panetta, the C.I.A. director, as well as by family members of the slain officers.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/05/world/asia/05cia.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100107025542/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/05/world/asia/05cia.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Statement on CIA Casualties in Afghanistan", "text": "December 31, 2009\nCIA Director Leon E.

The casualties were the result of a terrorist attack.\n“Those who fell yesterday were far from home and close to the enemy, doing the hard work that must be done to protect our country from terrorism,” Director Panetta said in a message to employees. “We owe them our deepest gratitude, and we pledge to them and their families that we will never cease fighting for the cause to which they dedicated their lives—a safer America.”\n“Families have been our Agency’s first priority,” Director Panetta added. “Before sharing this information with anyone else, we wanted to be in contact with each of them. This is the most difficult news to bear under any circumstances, but that it comes during the holidays makes it even harder. In coming days and weeks, we will comfort them and honor their loved ones as a family. They are in our thoughts and prayers—now and always.”\nDue to the sensitivity of their mission and other ongoing operations, neither the names of those killed nor the details of their work are being released at this time.\n“Yesterday’s tragedy reminds us that the men and women of the CIA put their lives at risk every day to protect this nation,” Director Panetta said. “Throughout our history, the reality is that those who make a real difference often face real danger.”\nDirector Panetta credited US military doctors and nurses with saving the lives of those wounded in the attack.

Michelle and I have their families, friends and colleagues in our thoughts and prayers.\nThese brave Americans were part of a long line of patriots who have made great sacrifices for their fellow citizens, and for our way of life. The United States would not be able to maintain the freedom and security that we cherish without decades of service from the dedicated men and women of the CIA. You have helped us understand the world as it is, and taken great risks to protect our country. You have served in the shadows, and your sacrifices have sometimes been unknown to your fellow citizens, your friends, and even your families.\nIn recent years, the CIA has been tested as never before. Since our country was attacked on September 11, 2001, you have served on the frontlines in directly confronting the dangers of the 21st century. Because of your service, plots have been disrupted, American lives have been saved, and our Allies and partners have been more secure. Your triumphs and even your names may be unknown to your fellow Americans, but your service is deeply appreciated. Indeed, I know firsthand the excellent quality of your work because I rely on it every day.\nThe men and women who gave their lives in Afghanistan did their duty with courage, honor and excellence, and we must draw strength from the example of their sacrifice. They will take their place on the Memorial Wall at Langley alongside so many other heroes who gave their lives on behalf of their country. And they will live on in the hearts of those who loved them, and in the freedom that they gave their lives to defend.\nMay God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.\nPresident Barack Obama", "url": "https://www.cia.gov/news-information/press-releases-statements/cia-casualties-in-afghanistan.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100324153011/https://www.cia.gov/news-information/press-releases-statements/cia-casualties-in-afghanistan.html" } ]

Incendio en cárcel en Santiago de Chile deja 81 muertos y una veintena de heridos
Un incendio afectó al recinto penitencial de San Miguel dejando al menos 81 reos muertos y varios heridos por el avance de las llamas y el intenso humo que emanó desde el cuarto piso de la Torre 5 del recinto. El alto número de víctimas se presume por las condiciones de hacinamiento que presenta la cárcel y los problemas que tuvo el accionar de Bomberos de diversas compañías de Santiago para sofocar las llamas. En un primer instante se presumía de un motín entre los convictos, pero fue descartado por Gendarmería por el avance del incendio que consumió la casi totalidad del piso de reclusión. Al momento de recuperar los cuerpos, personal de Investigaciones y el Servicio Médico Legal han tenido algunas dificultades debido al estado del piso y la posición en que quedaron los cuerpos tras el siniestro. En las inmediaciones de la cárcel los familiares se agolpaban para saber el estado de los reclusos. Ante la desesperación por noticias, el Ministro de Justicia llamó a la calma a los parientes, indicando que, si no estaba en la torre, no hay problemas con el detenido. Este es uno de los peores incendios en el sistema carcelario chileno, y se produce el mismo día en que se produjo el incendio de la Compañía, que dio origen a Bomberos de Chile.

Israel "illegally annexing" east Jerusalem, EU reports
Dome of Rock, East Jerusalem, 2001. A classified European Union report for 2009 says Israel is actively pursuing the annexation of east Jerusalem. The report accuses Israel of implementing an intricate policy including expanding Jewish settlements and demolishing Palestinian homes. It says policies "are undermining prospects for a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem and incrementally render a sustainable two-state solution unfeasible"; this is described as, "an integral part of a broader Israeli strategy." Israeli Foreign ministry spokesperson, Yigal Palmor, told AFP that the report was "dishonest", "reflects the Palestinian propaganda" and "is based exclusively on Palestinian versions and figures." This comes as EU foreign ministers prepare a statement on the Middle East. To allow for US initiatives, EU foreign ministers have not commented on the stalemate between Israel and the Palestinians over past months; but, diplomatic sources say there are “sensitivities” over a Swedish proposal to divide Jerusalem in any peace deal. Citing official Israeli statistics from the Ministry of Interior executive director of Israel’s HaMoked (Center for the Defence of the Individual) said Wednesday that, "Israel has stripped Palestinians of Jerusalem residency status last year at a faster rate than at any time in the history of the state". 4,577 residents of East Jerusalem have had their residence revoked in 2008, this is more than half the total revoked in the past 40 years. The Jerusalem municipality places severe restrictions on issuing building permits for Palestinian houses in east Jerusalem, since 2000 over 600 Palestinian-owned structures have been demolished and Palestinians receive fewer than 200 of the 1,500 building permits needed per year. The 14-page annual report dated November 23 was drafted by European envoys and consuls in Jerusalem and Ramallah and presented to Brussels EU institutions a few days ago. This is the first time the annual report has been made public. Haaretz says, in the past, Israel has pressed the EU not to publish fearing it would undermine the European public's view of Israel. The report was leaked to Israel's Haaretz daily newspaper and obtained by AFP yesterday. The EU report claims the Israeli government and Jerusalem municipality discriminate against Arab residents with regard to building permits, health services, education, sanitation and more. Allegations of assisting private right-wing Jewish organisations, such as Ateret Cohanim and Elad, to alter the city's demographics are included. The report advises sanctions against people and groups involved in "settlement activity", and taking other measures to protest Israeli policy and to stop the harming of the Arab population, including an "EU presence at Israeli court cases on house demolitions or evictions of Palestinian families when there is a risk of demolition or eviction of Palestinian families", and "information sharing on violent settlers in East Jerusalem to assess whether to grant entry to the EU." The report also recommends implementing measures to strengthen the Palestinian National Authority's presence in the city. Archaeological excavations in Jerusalem near the Temple Mount are mentioned, suggesting "archaeology in this case has become an ideologically motivated tool of national and religious struggle carried out in a manner that modifies the identity and character of the city and threatens to undermine its stability."

While diplomats say radical policy change at EU level is not on the agenda, the explicit reference in the Swedish document to East Jerusalem marks a subtle change from the EU’s often-stated position that the city should become the “shared capital” of the two states.\nThe Israeli response was seen to reflect fear that all member states would adopt the reference as a means of stepping up pressure on the government of prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu.\nHowever, ambassadors to the EU’s political and security committee failed to agree on the text on Wednesday and are scheduled to discuss it again today.\nMeanwhile in Tel Aviv, Jewish settlers vowed to continue their campaign of civil disobedience aimed at thwarting a 10-month construction freeze imposed by the government, after a meeting yesterday with Mr Netanyahu.\nThe prime minister called the meeting in an effort to defuse tension after four consecutive days of confrontations, with residents attempting to block government inspectors entering West Bank settlements. Six people have been arrested, including a local mayor.\nThe prime minister promised the settlers the restrictions were temporary, and would be lifted at the end of the 10-month moratorium. He urged them to obey the law and explained that he had been forced to order the construction freeze due to strong international pressure to make a gesture in order to coax the Palestinians back to the negotiating table.", "url": "http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2009/1204/1224260042875.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160312192800/http://www.irishtimes.com/news/eu-middle-east-policy-decision-due-next-week-1.783744" }, { "language": "en", "title": "EU envoys: Israel trying to sever East Jerusalem from West Bank", "text": "A classified report drafted by European consuls in East Jerusalem and Ramallah slams Israeli policy in East Jerusalem and recommends that the European Union take steps to strengthen the Palestinian Authority's status in the city.

This year's report was completed on November 23 and presented to EU institutions in Brussels a few days ago.\nAdvertisement Due to the sensitivity of the document, the EU has never before published it, and in previous years Israel pressed the EU hard not to do so, for fear the publication would further undermine the European public's already negative view of Israel.\nSenior Foreign Ministry officials said this year's report \"left a harsh impression\" in Brussels and helped Sweden promote its plan to have the EU formally recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.\nThe report accused both the Israeli government and the Jerusalem municipality of working deliberately to alter the city's demographic balance and sever East Jerusalem from the West Bank. It said that both bodies assist right-wing organizations, such as Ateret Cohanim and Elad, in their efforts to implement this \"strategic vision,\" especially around the Holy Basin area. These organizations buy houses in Arab neighborhoods, and make \"attempts to implant further Jewish settlements into the heart of the Muslim Quarter.\"\nThe municipality, the report continued, discriminates against the city's Arab residents with regard to building permits, health services, education, sanitation and more.\n\"During the past years, Palestinians have received fewer than 200 building permits per year,\" it said. \"Based on the population growth, permits for another 1,500 housing units annually would be necessary to cover the housing needs.\" For instance, the EU report noted, the village of Silwan has received only 20 building permits since 1967.\nThough 35 percent of Jerusalem residents are Arab, only 5 to 10 percent of the city's budget goes to Arab neighborhoods, it continued. As a result, these areas present \"a sharp contrast\" to \"West Jerusalem neighborhoods and East Jerusalem settlements where Israelis live.\"\nA significant portion of the report deals with archaeological excavations in Jerusalem, especially near the Temple Mount. These digs, it charged, focus mainly on Jewish history.\n\"Archaeology in this case has become an ideologically motivated tool of national and religious struggle carried out in a manner that modifies the identity and character of the city and threatens to undermine its stability,\" the report said.\nOn another issue, it stated: \"The expansion of Israeli settlements has sparked a trend of settler violence against the Palestinian population in East Jerusalem. Such criminal actions have been witnessed by Israeli police but are not met with adequate intervention.\"\nIsrael's closure of Palestine Liberation Organization and PA institutions in the city was also blasted in the report: \"The general sense of neglect felt by many East Jerusalemites and the absence of Palestinian state-sponsored institutions and secular organizations are paving the way for Islamic religious organizations to expand their influence.\"\nThe European consuls proposed several measures to strengthen the PA presence in the eastern part of the city and pressure Israel to stop harming the Arab population. They include the following:\n\"Ensure EU presence at Israeli court cases on house demolitions or evictions of Palestinian families\" and \"when there is a risk of demolition or eviction of Palestinian families.\"\nEU \"celebrations, commemorations and national or Europe day events to be held in East Jerusalem.\"\n\"EU missions with offices or residences in East Jerusalem to regularly host Palestinian officials for dinners with senior EU visitors.\"\n\"Avoid having Israeli security accompany high-ranking officials from member states when visiting the Old City or East Jerusalem.\"\n\"Refraining from meeting Israeli officials in their East Jerusalem offices.\"\n\"Information sharing on violent settlers in East Jerusalem to assess whether to grant entry to the EU.\"", "url": "http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1132158.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20091204013926/http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1132158.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "EU report says Israel illegally annexing east Jerusalem", "text": "EU report says Israel illegally annexing east Jerusalem\nJERUSALEM — In a confidential report obtained by AFP on Thursday, the European Union accused Israel of actively pursuing the annexation of Arab east Jerusalem and undermining hopes for peace with Palestinians.\nThe annual report drafted by the EU heads of missions in Jerusalem accused Israel of implementing in 2009 an intricate policy which includes expanding Jewish settlements and demolishing Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem.\n\"Developments in east Jerusalem in 2009 were marked by the continued expansion of Israeli settlements and a considerable number of Palestinian house demolitions and eviction orders,\" said the report, published first by Israel's liberal Haaretz daily.\nIsrael occupied and annexed east Jerusalem in 1967 and considers it its \"eternal indivisible capital\" in a move never recognised by the international community.\n\"Israel is, by practical means, actively pursuing its illegal annexation of east Jerusalem by weakening the Palestinian community in the city, impeding Palestinian urban developments and ultimately separating east Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank.\"\nThe future of east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want to make the capital of their promised state, is one of the most sensitive issue in Middle East peace talks, which have been suspended for almost a year.\nThe EU report said that the Jewish state's policies in east Jerusalem \"are undermining prospects for a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem and incrementally render a sustainable two-state solution unfeasible.\"\nThe 14-page report dated November 23 said that Israel's policy in east Jerusalem is \"an integral part of a broader Israeli strategy.\"\nIt goes on to accuse the Israeli government and Jerusalem municipality of supporting and assisting private right-wing Jewish organisations of strengthening the Jewish hold in and around the Old City.\n\"The continued settlement expansion plans around the Old City effectively encircles and contains the historic basin and separates the Muslim holy places from the rest of east Jerusalem,\" the report said.\nIt said the municipality places severe restrictions on issuing building permits for Palestinian houses in east Jerusalem, forcing them to construct without permits.\nAs a result, over 600 Palestinian-owned structures have been demolished since the year 2000, it said.\nLast week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a freeze on new permits for house construction in Jewish settlements in the rest of the West Bank, but the decision does not affect east Jerusalem, where some 200,000 Jews live in 12 settlements.\nForeign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor branded the report as \"dishonest.\"\n\"This report is based exclusively on Palestinian versions and figures.

Al menos 40 personas, en su mayoría estudiantes, murieron producto de un atentado terrorista en una escuela del estado de en Nigeria. El atentado fue atribuido al grupo terrorista Boko Haram. Un estudiante que sobrevivió al atentado declaró que un grupo de encapuchados ingresaron a la institución y empezaron a disparar a profesores y alumnos, por lo que muchos empezaron a correr en busca de las salidas. El estado de Yobe es constantemente afectado por atentados y ataques suicidas. El Presidente de esa nación ha declarado el estado de emergencia en varias provincias para que la policía intervenga. Nigeria es de mayoría cristiana al sur del país y musulmana al norte, donde está conformada la organización.

Australie : les koalas menacés par l'exploitation des forêts
Un koala accroché à un arbre. Des koalas ont été retrouvés blessés, agonisants ou morts sur le sol de la forêt australienne, très exploitée. Les exploitants tronçonnent les arbres sans faire attention aux koalas, ce qui entraîne des chutes parfois mortelles. La Fondation Australienne pour le Koala (''Australian Koala Foundation'') s'étonne que le koala ne soit pas mieux protégé. Plusieurs associations écologistes insistent pour la mise en place d'une législation stricte pour la protection du koala. Pour ce faire, l'association ''Animals australia'' lance une campagne de sensibilisation.

[ { "language": "fr", "title": "L'exploitation forestière, branche néfaste pour le koala australien", "text": "Par VIRGINIE BALLET\nLibération\nDes koalas gisant au sol, blessés, mutilés, agonisant, voire morts. Ces images chocs sont issues d'un reportage télévisé diffusé lundi soir sur la chaîne australienne ABC, et qui met en lumière, de manière crue, l'impact direct de la déforestation sur le petit marsupial, dans l'Etat de Victoria, en Australie.\nCapture d'écran du reportage de ABC.\nFace à un habitat naturel qui rétrécit comme peau de chagrin à cause de la déforestation et de l'urbanisation, le koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) se réfugie en effet dans des exploitations forestières. Mais son abri n'en est pas un : peu soucieux du cas de l'animal, les exploitants tronçonnent les branches où se trouve la petite bête trapue, entraînant des chutes qui peuvent s'avérer mortelles. Le cas échéant, membres cassés et dos brisés sont monnaie courante, tout comme les petits devenus orphelins, selon une bénévole de l'association Wildlife, interrogée par ABC. Résultat : paniqués, certains koalas qui sentent poindre la menace poussent des cris de détresse aigus, coincés en haut de l'habitat qu'ils vont perdre.\nRadiographie d'un koala blessé, capture d'écran de la vidéo ABC.\nAnonymement, un ancien employé de l'une des exploitations concernées confirme à ABC le sort réservé aux marsupiaux. «Trouver des corps était quotidien. Parfois on en trouvait deux toutes les heures, parfois un par jour.» En revanche, aucune des entreprises mises en cause n'a accepté de s'exprimer, un signe de leur «déni» du phénomène, pour les associations. Mais pas seulement : leur image, et donc leur business, pourrait pâtir d'une trop grande exposition des dommages collatéraux de leurs pratiques.\nDeborah Tabart, présidente de la Fondation australienne pour le koala (Australian koala foundation), s'insurge de ce que cette «icône nationale» ne soit pas mieux protégée, malgré les mises en garde de son ONG. «Il y a quelques années, rappelle-t-elle, nous avions préconisé la mise en place d'abris au sein des plantations, qui permettraient aux animaux de s'y retirer en période de coupe des arbres. Cette option resterait un traumatisme pour les koalas, mais serait toujours préférable à une politique de démolition de leurs refuges, qui ne leur laisse nulle part où aller.» Cette proposition n'a pas été prise en compte. «Ces entreprises sont très puissantes», avance-t-elle.\nAutre source de courroux des associations de défense des animaux : la liste des Etats où le koala est menacé. Etablie en 2012 par le ministre de l'Environnement, Tony Burke, elle n'en recense que trois : le Queensland, New South Wales et Australian Capital Territory, et ce sur la base des recommandations d'un comité scientifique sur les espèces menacées. Ce dernier a mis l'accent sur les fortes disparités entre les Etats en terme de nombre d'individus, justifiant ainsi sa décision de ne pas faire de la bête une espèce menacée à l'échelle nationale. Avec une population dense, l'Etat de Victoria ne pouvait être placé sur la liste.\nEn conséquence, plusieurs associations et élus écologistes plaident pour la mise en place d'une législation plus stricte en faveur de la protection du koala. «Il faut que le gouvernement cesse de considérer les koalas comme des nuisibles et leur accorde la protection que la population réclame pour eux», plaide ainsi la sénatrice écologiste Lee Rhiannon dans les colonnes du Guardian australien.\nPour ce faire, l'association «Animals australia» lance une campagne de sensibilisation et appelle chaque citoyen à faire part directement au gouvernement de son inquiétude, via un formulaire en ligne.\nLa Fondation australienne pour le koala rappelle pour sa part que ces exploitations servent à l'industrie du papier, et préconise ainsi de privilégier le papier recyclé.", "url": "http://www.liberation.fr/terre/2013/07/26/l-exploitation-forestiere-branche-nefaste-pour-le-koala-australien_920745", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130731061228/http://www.liberation.fr/terre/2013/07/26/l-exploitation-forestiere-branche-nefaste-pour-le-koala-australien_920745" } ]

11 MPs ejected from Australian parliament
A record number of 11 MPs were ejected from the Australian Parliament during the uproar that ensued the introduction of the government's controversial industrial relations legislation. The opposition Industrial Relations Spokesman, Stephen Smith said that the speaker had only applied his ruling to the opposition side of the house and said that "My impression sitting in the chamber was that there was plenty of noise coming from both sides". The new bill of nearly 700 pages sees the end of Australia's 100 year old wage fixing system and will push more workers onto individual contracts, allowed award conditions like penalty rates to be bargained away and removed unfair dismissal laws for most workers.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Smith says proposed IR changes are un-Australian", "text": "TONY JONES: Well, joining me now from our Canberra studio is the Opposition Industrial Relations Spokesman, Stephen Smith. Thanks for being there.\nSTEPHEN SMITH, SHADOW INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS MINISTER: Good evening, Tony.\nTONY JONES: That was one of the rowdiest Question Times we've seen. I presume Labor planned it to be like that.\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Tony, when a government of the day introduces revolutionary and not evolutionary changes and when there's such a fundamental attack on the living standards of working Australian families, and when in some respects more importantly, they're a fundamental attack on the Australian way of life and are able to be categorised as un-Australian, you're going to get an adverse reaction on the floor of the parliament, particularly when the procedures and the mechanisms that the Government has adopted to try and slide this there are frankly red-hot.\nTONY JONES: So that was spontaneous, was it, not political theatre, 11 MPs?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: It was a cricket team of disposals. I noticed that the Speaker gave a general warning, but the general warning seemed to illicit attention only on the left-hand side of the chamber and not the right-hand side of the chamber. My impression sitting in the chamber was that there was plenty of noise coming from both sides. In the end, leaving all of the parliamentary activity or theatre, however you want to categorise it to one side, what is the substance of these proposals? And these proposals are essentially an attack on the wages and conditions of employees and to put it in high-tone public policy or economic terms, it's simply a straight-forward attempt to shift in the total factor income of the economy a further proportion from the wages section to the profit section. That's what it is on about because the Government has this view that if you do that, somehow we'll suddenly be internationally competitive with China and India and Indonesia and somehow there'll be a magic increase in employment. It's an economic nonsense.\nTONY JONES: There's also an attack on the union movement. If this IR legislation passes unamended, how long will it be before the political power of the union movement is diluted to the point where it's virtually irrelevant?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Well, for a long time Australians have regarded the trade union movement as an institution in Australian society that is entitled to play a legitimate role in the social and economic affairs of our society. When, for example, the asbestosis and mesothelioma victims of James Hardie needed a bit of a helping hand, I didn't see John Howard or Peter Costello or Kevin Andrews or any of the people from the business organisations who were at his private briefing on the Sunday morning a few ago riding on the white horse to the victims. I saw the organised trade union movement. So we believe, Labor believes, that the trade union movement is entitled to have a role in our social and economic affairs. The Government doesn't share that view. The Government would like to see the trade union movement out of existence.\nTONY JONES: And could that happen? Could that happen if these laws pass unamended, is that what you are saying? Is part of your defence the defence of the trade union movement?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: I don't believe that the trade union movement will go out of existence. In some respects you might actually find that the trade union movement gets more support in the community because the community knows when there is trouble afoot, particularly in the workplace, that the trade union movement is one of those institutions, like the Industrial Relations Commission, the independent umpire, that can actually help those people, particularly the more vulnerable. But just a practical example - under this legislation, you can cop a fine of $33,000 if you're a union official trying to get an unfair dismissal arrangement into an agreement, individual or collective. That's the sort of effort. So, the Government has got a three-pronged approach: attack wages and conditions of employees, attack some of the values and virtues and characteristics of our Australian society, and also attack the trade union movement. Now, the great danger of that, the great danger of that, in my view, is we change the nature of our society and we end up, as we see in the US, a pool of working poor where you essentially end up in the US at risk of the tips that you get for trying to make ends meet.\nTONY JONES: Alright. You haven't had the actual legislation for very long. It's a huge document, I think you've said 687 pages, and you've been questioning the Prime Minister about page 203 today that you claim will put penalty shift allowances overtime and leave loadings at risk. Explain how?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Well, firstly, Tony, it's 1,252 pages of legislation and explanatory memorandum, all of which is relevant to how the law unfolds, and how the law is interpreted and obviously the government would like minimum scrutiny on that. At the heart of the attack upon conditions and entitlements is the abolition of behalf's called the \"no disadvantage test\", which means when it comes to the living standards, penalty rates, overtime, leave loadings, the things that make the difference between making ends meet and having a sensible work-family balance - the no disadvantage test goes and those things can be removed at the stroke of a pen, provided they are mentioned in an individual agreement or an AWA and there's a new piece of devil in the detail. We now see in the legislation the Government saying that it's not duress to say to an employee that it's a condition of employment that you go on to an individual contract or an AWA. That is one of the things which tilts the lever even further in the workplace against the employee, further bolsters the bargaining power that employers have over employees.\nTONY JONES: But you say that. The Prime Minister says on the contrary that employers have that power already.\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Well, Tony, if that was the case, if that was the case, why is there a need to have a separate piece of legislation, a separate part of the legislation, which expressly makes the point that it's not recorded as duress under the law to say to an employee, an existing employee, that you go onto an AWA. An AWA that is a matter of course, because of the abolition of the no disadvantage test, will be on inferior conditions with no, or no just or no adequate, compensation for overtime, for penalty rates, for public holidays, for leave loadings and the like. That's the whole point. Alright.\nTONY JONES: Can I confirm one thing with you. If you win government at the next election, will you overturn every single one of the changes the Government is bringing in here?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Tony, just as this legislation tears up living standards and tears up the Australian way of life, we will tear up this legislation.\nTONY JONES: Every bit of it?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: We will tear up this legislation.\nTONY JONES: You'll turn back the clock, in fact, to what it is now before this legislation is brought in?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: No, no, what we are going to do, Tony, is we are going to tear up these revolutionary, unfair, extreme and divisive changes. We're going to set the system up for the future so it is underpin Boyd fairness.\nTONY JONES: I just want to confirm this. You're going to keep some of it which you regard as fair --\nSTEPHEN SMITH: I don't regard any of this as fair, Tony.\nTONY JONES: So the whole lot goes, everything?\nSTEPHEN SMITH: We're go going to tear up this legislation and set the system up for the future so it is underpinned by fairness. It is underpinned by some important fundamental principles that have seen us hold dignity and civility and decency in the workplace for a long period of time. A strong independent umpire. Sensible minimum standards and safety nets. A capacity for people to choose to organise collectively and not to be forced on to individual contracts and also to have proper rights for unfair dismissal. We're going to set the system up for the future, so we've got a productive work force where we have flexibility upwards and flexibility that is fair, but not flexibility downwards, which is simply designed to reduce wages on this crazy economic notion that somehow that's the way that we can compete with Indonesia, China and India.\nTONY JONES: Stephen Smith, we'll have to leave you there. Obviously there will be a lot more to talk about in coming days and I've doubt we'll see you again soon.\nSTEPHEN SMITH: Thanks very much, Tony.", "url": "http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2005/s1496517.htm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071123182350/http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2005/s1496517.htm" } ]

The controversies forced Ms. Sgro to resign from her post in January. Ms. Sgro read a letter from Mr. Singh in the House of Commons Tuesday. "Reputations should not be tarnished by unsubstantiated allegations and innuendo solely for partisan politics,” she added. After a 17-year fight to stay in Canada, Mr. Singh was deported to India in February. In his letter he said: "I now admit that I did not have a meeting with Judy Sgro. Further, at no time, did Judy Sgro request any campaign assistance from me nor did she help me with my immigration problems. I am providing this apology and retraction voluntarily and of my own free will." In a press conference, Ms. Sgro also discussed the confidential letter she'd received from ethics commissioner Bernard Shapiro. In his letter informing her of the commission's decision Mr. Shapiro wrote "It appears that you have acted appropriately but that your staff did not.” The report on the incident from the commission is not actually finished, according to the commissioner, but he said Ms. Sgro was free to release the letter.

Wikipedia tiene cada vez menos colaboradores
Logo de Wikipedia. Según el estudio '''''"Wikipedia: A quantitative analysis"''''', realizado por investigadores de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid (URJC), la producción de contenidos en las diez versiones principales de Wikipedia se ha estancado al decrecer desde 2007 el número de redactores voluntarios de artículos y al dedicar éstos cada vez menos tiempo a su construcción porque se cansan "relativamente pronto" del proyecto. El estudio también denuncia el grado de desigualdad que existe en las contribuciones de los voluntarios, haciendo difícil que el número de artículos destacados (aquellos que son más ricos y completos) aumente al debido ritmo, siendo lo más preocupante que "...esta tendencia seguirá empeorando en el futuro próximo ya que el número de abandonos tiende a crecer cada vez más rápidamente", según Felipe Ortega, miembro del grupo de investigación GSyC/Libresoft de la URJC.

Skazano go za udział w zmowie mającej na celu podsłuchiwanie przez \"News of the World\" nagrań z prywatnych poczt głosowych.Na ławie oskarżonych zasiadło siedem osób związanych z tabloidem, który pozyskiwał newsy, włamując się na pocztę głosową sław - od rodziny królewskiej po krewnych ofiar zbrodni. Zarzuty postawiono m.in. byłym redaktorom naczelnym Rebece Brooks i właśnie Coulsonowi.Poza Coulsonem w piątek skazano także trzech innych dziennikarzy: Thurlbecka oraz Grega Miskiwa i Jamesa Weatherupa. Thurlbeck dostał pół roku. Tyle samo Miskiw, który zaangażował do pracy w gazecie prywatnego detektywa i hakera Glenna Mulcaire'a. A Weatherup, który zlecał Mulcaire'owi kolejne włamania - cztery miesiące w zawieszeniu.

Hakerzy kasowali wówczas wiadomości, by opróżniać zapełnioną skrzynkę. Utrudniło to policyjne śledztwo i dawało złudną nadzieję rodzicom, że ich córka żyje. Sąd podkreślił, że było to \"niewybaczalne\". Jego zdaniem, gazeta chciała przypisać sobie zasługi za odnalezienie dziewczynki i sprzedać jak najwięcej egzemplarzy.Wśród ofiar afery podsłuchowej byli m.in. książęta William i Harry, piosenkarz Paul McCartney, jego była żona Heather Mills, aktorka Sienna Miller, a także ofiary głośnych przestępstw kryminalnych i znani piłkarze. Konsekwencją skandalu było zamknięcie - po 168 latach istnienia - \"NotW\" w lipcu 2011 r.Proces trwał prawie osiem miesięcy. Coulson nie przyznał się do winy.Po odejściu w 2007 r. z redakcji Coulson przez cztery lata był spin doktorem Camerona. A już wtedy krążyły pogłoski o jego zaangażowaniu w proceder. Jednak premier nie tylko mu zawierzył, ale wręcz dopuścił do tajnych dokumentów i posiedzeń rady bezpieczeństwa narodowego. Coulson przekonał go, że nie wiedział o włamaniach.Podobnie bronił się na sali sądowej. W kwietniu przyznał jednak, że jeden z dziennikarzy Neville Thurlbeck odtworzył przy nim w 2004 r. nagrania z poczty głosowej ówczesnego szefa MSW Davida Blunketta. Dzięki nim gazeta ujawniła, że Blunkett ma romans. Coulson tłumaczył, że był zszokowany, i natychmiast pouczył Thurlbecka, by \"zaprzestał naruszać prywatność\" Blunketta. Ale nie zwolnił go.Gdy przed kilkoma dniami ogłoszono Coulsona winnym, rzecznik Camerona powiedział, że szef rządu jest zdecydowany dotrzymać złożonej w 2011 roku w parlamencie obietnicy. Cameron zapowiedział wówczas, że \"gorąco przeprosi\", gdyby miało się okazać, że Coulson okłamał go i wiedział o podsłuchiwaniu przez \"NotW\".Nad Coulsonem ciążą jeszcze zarzuty za próbę przekupstwa.

El navegador Internet Explorer cambiará de nombre
La próxima versión del navegador web de Microsoft cambiará su nombre de Internet Explorer a '''Windows Internet Explorer 7'''. Por otro lado, según anunció un desarrollador del popular programa, también estrenará un nuevo logo, aunque basado en el actual, una "''e''" rodeada por un aro. La nueva versión de Internet Explorer vendrá integrada en el próximo sistema operativo de Microsoft, Windows Vista. Además de en esta plataforma también podrá ejecutarse en el Windows XP con el ''Service Pack 2'' instalado, pero no en versiones anteriores. Esta semana también se supo que el IE recuperó por primera vez terreno con respecto al navegador gratuito Firefox, según un estudio de Netapplications.com sobre uso de navegadores web. La cuota de Internet Explorer aumentó de 86,56% a 87,2% mientras que la de Firefox descendió de 8,71% a 8,07% en julio.

The browser is expected to bring with it long-awaited features such as tabs, security improvements and better support for CSS and other Web standards.\nAs part of the update, Microsoft has also polished the IE logo for version 7. \"We considered more radical departures from our current logo, but blue \"e\" with the ring is very recognizable and familiar to users, so we elected instead to make more subtle changes,\" wrote IE developer Tony Chor.\n\"The new \"e\" has more modern look, and the edges are a bit darker so the icon stands out better against different backgrounds.

Novo programa do SBT, "Fofocando" estreia hoje
Mamma Bruschetta irá apresentar a partir de hoje o programa ''Fofocando'', no SBT. O SBT estreia hoje o seu novo programa, ''Fofocando''. Com a apresentação de Leão Lobo e Mamma Bruschetta, o programa, que irá falar de notícias sobre as celebridades (o nome do programa vem do verbo ''fofocar''), foi criado às pressas por Silvio Santos para tentar barrar a audiência do quadro ''A Hora da Venenosa'', do programa ''Balanço Geral'' (Record) e também o ''Vídeo Show'' (Globo), que tem problemas para ganhar desse quadro. Os apresentadores também foram contratados de última hora. Mamma Bruschetta, por exemplo, trabalhava há 15 anos na TV Gazeta, na qual fazia parte do elenco fixo do programa ''Mulheres''. A apresentadora teve o seu contrato rescendido amigavelmente na emissora, na qual tinha desejo de continuar, mas devido ao novo programa ser exibido no mesmo horário que o ''Mulheres'', a apresentadora teve que sair da emissora. Leão Lobo também trabalhava na TV Gazeta, mas já atuava no SBT como jurado do quadro ''Dez ou Mil'' do ''Programa do Ratinho''. Diferente de Bruschetta, Leão Lobo teve que pagar a multa contratual. O programa irá ao ar no início da tarde, a partir das 14h15 (horário de Brasília), terá uma hora de duração e será exibido diariamente pela emissora. Será precedido pelo ''Bom Dia & Companhia'', que perderá parte do tempo de exibição com a estreia do programa, e será sucedido pelo ''Casos de Família''. Nova informações sobre o programa serão divulgados na estreia, já que a emissora guarda segredo sobre seus detalhes.

Covid-19: Brasil registra novas 2.648 mortes e vê média móvel passar de 2.000 pela primeira vez
Com 2.648 novas mortes por nas últimas 24 horas, o Brasil alcançou um novo recorde: viu sua média móvel de óbitos/dia relativa aos últimos sete dias passar de 2.000 pela primeira vez, alcançando precisamente 2.017. Com os novos óbitos, o acumulado chega agora a 284.775, enquanto o total de casos alcança 11.693.838. '''A média móvel''' A Wikinotícias já previa aqui ontem que a média móvel dos últimos 7 dias passaria de 2 mil possivelmente "ainda esta semana". Considerando as cifras de mortes/dia dos últimos dias - 2.286 (10/03), 2.233 (11), 2.216 (12), 1.986 (13), 1.138 (14), 1.057 (15) e 2.841 (16) e 2.648 (17/03) - as médias móveis recentes foram de 1.841 (15/03), 1.965 (16/03) e 2.017 hoje.

Em coletiva na Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), ele disse que somente com a restrição de circulação e melhor capacidade dos serviços hospitalares a doença será combatida.\n\"Esse impacto desses óbitos, vamos conseguir reduzir com dois pontos principais. Primeiro com campanhas de distanciamento social próprias que permitam diminuir a circulação do vírus. E segundo com uma melhora na capacidade assistencial dos nossos serviços hospitalares\", disse. Para ele, a vacinação pode reduzir as internações e mortes a \"médio\" prazo.\nEle reforçou o conselho de evitar aglomerações e usar máscaras, ambos criticados e não seguidos pelo presidente da República, Jair Bolsonaro (sem partido).\n\"Não adianta o governo ficar recomendando o uso de máscara se as pessoas não são capazes de aderir a esse tipo de medida que é um tipo de medida simples, que não demanda grandes custos. O governo recomenda por exemplo redução de aglomerações fúteis e as pessoas ficam fazendo festas aos fins de semana contribuindo para a circulação do vírus\", argumentou.\nVeículos se unem pela informação\nEm resposta à decisão do governo Jair Bolsonaro de restringir o acesso a dados sobre a pandemia de covid-19, os veículos de comunicação UOL, O Estado de S.

Thousands of pounds worth of damage caused to railway station and stonework in Bath, England
Bath Spa Railway Station Vandals have caused thousands of British pounds worth of damage at a city railway station. The Bath Spa railway station in Bath was targeted by vandals over the weekend. Graffiti was sprayed over the new tourist centre as well as the stone work which is over 100 years old. The disabled toilets were also vandalised. First Great Western who owns Bath Spa station released a statement through spokesman Dan Panes saying, "last year we invested a considerable amount of money improving the station environment at Bath Spa for our customers, and it's a great shame that a couple of minutes of vandalism could cause so much damage." The vandalism comes just months after a mini police station was opened up in the station to combat anti-social behaviour. The behaviour in Bath was said to be worse than that of the centre of Liverpool. CCTV has been passed on to the British Transport Police and are currently assessing the damage caused.

He brought joy to legions of fans around the world and was the gateway for many of them to discover or in some cases rediscover their love of comic books.

It's a sad day.\"\nOver the past decade, West has played a caricatured version of himself as Mayor West on Family Guy. On Twitter, that cartoon's creator Seth Macfarlane penned a remembrance to the actor.\n\"Family Guy has lost its mayor, and I have lost a friend,\" MacFarlane said in a statement. \"Adam West was a joy to rk with, and the kind of guy you always wanted to be around. His positivity, good nature, and sense of fun were undeniable, and it was always a big jolt of the best kind of energy when he walked in to record the show. He knew comedy, and he knew humanity.\"\nMacFarlane added, \"I am beyond fortunate to have had the privilege of working with him, and he will be profoundly missed by all of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have given, Mr. Mayor. You’re irreplaceable.\"\nStar Wars actor Mark Hamill, who along with West was a regular on the comic convention circuit, said of the actor, \"Adam West was such a wonderful actor & so kind, I'm so lucky to have worked w/ him & tell him how much he meant to me & millions of fans.\"", "url": "http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/ben-affleck-dc-comics-family-guy-remember-adam-west-w487198", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170610235040/http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/ben-affleck-dc-comics-family-guy-remember-adam-west-w487198" }, { "language": null, "title": "Adam West, TV's 'Batman,' Dead at 88", "text": "Adam West, the star of the Sixties Batman series, died Friday night in Los Angeles following a short battle with leukemia.

He was and always will be our hero,\" the West family said in a statement to Variety.\nThe family added on Facebook, \"It's with great sadness that we are sharing this news... Adam West passed away peacefully last night after a short but brave battle with leukemia. He was a beloved father, husband, grandfather, and great-grandfather. There are no words to describe how much we'll miss him. We know you'll miss him too and we want you to know how much your love and support meant to him throughout the years. Hug your loved ones today.\"\nAfter spending the early half of the Sixties playing bit parts on TV shows and movies – including the 1964 sci-fi classic Robinson Crusoe on Mars – West was the first actor to step into the role of Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter ego Batman for the kitschy, campy television series based on the DC Comics character.\nA surprise hit, Batman ran for three seasons and 120 episodes, with West's deadpan depiction of the Dark Knight immortalized in the pop culture lexicon.\n\"My Batman has endured because it had something for everyone,\" West told the Daily Express in 2015 of the Batman role. \"When you were a kid you could enjoy all the adventure, the color, the crazy costumes, the wonderful villains. Then as you got a little bit older you saw the satirical elements, the bizarre stuff.\"\nFollowing the end of the first season in 1966, West played the superhero in the film Batman, the first big screen adaptation of the comic book. While West is credited with reviving the Batman character and proving its franchise potential - as well as setting the bar for future Dark Knights like Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck - the actor was inevitably typecast due to the famous role.\nOver the next 50 years, West continued to find steady work with television guest appearances, small movie roles and as a voice actor, but he never reclaimed the fame he achieved as Batman; West would later reveal that he was approached about playing James Bond in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, but turned down the role because he believed the secret agent should be portrayed by a British actor.\nIn recent years, West lent his voice to a caricatured version of himself as Mayor West on the animated series Family Guy. In 2016, West reprised the Batman role by providing the voice of the superhero in the cartoon film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, a spoof of the Sixties series.\n\"If I had the chance to do it all over again I would,\" West added. \"It was tough for a while but I'm the luckiest guy in the world because I got to create a character that lasts and that people love. So I made up my mind that if people love Batman, I'll love Batman too.\"", "url": "http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/adam-west-tvs-batman-dead-at-88-w487180", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170610180126/http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/adam-west-tvs-batman-dead-at-88-w487180" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Adam West Dead: 'Batman' Star Was 88", "text": "The actor struggled to find work after the campy superhero series was canceled, but he rebounded with voiceover gigs, including one as the mayor of Quahog on 'Family Guy.'\nAdam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.\nWest, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.\nWest died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.\n“Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans' lives. He was and always will be our hero,” his family said in a statement.\nAfter struggling for years without a steady job, the good-natured actor reached a new level of fame when he accepted an offer to voice the mayor of Quahog — named Adam West; how’s that for a coincidence! — on Seth MacFarlane’s long-running Fox animated hit Family Guy.\nOn the big screen, West played a wealthy Main Line husband who meets an early end in Paul Newman’s The Young Philadelphians (1959), was one of the first two humans on the Red Planet in Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964) and contributed his velvety voice to the animated Redux Riding Hood (1997), which received an Oscar nomination for best short film.\nRaised on a ranch outside Walla Walla, Wash., West caught the attention of Batman producer William Dozier when he played Captain Quik, a James Bond-type character with a sailor’s cap, in commercials for Nestle’s Quik.\nWest, who had appeared in many Warner Bros. television series as a studio contract player, was filming the spaghetti Western The Relentless Four (1965) in Europe at the time. He returned to the States to meet with Dozier, “read the pilot script and knew after 20 pages that it was the kind of comedy I wanted to do,” he said in a 2006 interview with the Archive of American Television.\nHe signed a contract on the spot, only asking that he be given the chance to approve who would play his sidekick, Robin the Boy Wonder. (He would OK the casting of Burt Ward, who had a brown belt in karate but zero acting experience).\n“The tone of our first show, by Lorenzo Semple Jr., was one of absurdity and tongue in cheek to the point that I found it irresistible,” West said. “I think they recognized that in me from what they’d seen me do before. I understood the material and brought something to it.\n“You can’t play Batman in a serious, square-jawed, straight-ahead way without giving the audience the sense that there’s something behind that mask waiting to get out, that he’s a little crazed, he’s strange.”\nThe hunky Lyle Waggoner (later of The Carol Burnett Show) and Peter Deyell also tested to play the Gotham City crime fighters, but West and Ward clearly were superior, and Batman debuted at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 12, 1966, a Wednesday.\nThe cliffhanger episode would be resolved the very next night — Same Bat-time! Same Bat-channel! The show was originally intended to last an hour, but ABC split it up when it had two time slots available on its primetime schedule.\nWest said that he played Batman “for laughs, but in order to do [that], one had to never think it was funny. You just had to pull on that cowl and believe that no one would recognize you.”\nThe series, filmed in eye-popping bright colors in an era of black-and-white and featuring a revolving set of villains like the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), Joker (Cesar Romero), Penguin (Burgess Meredith) and Catwoman (Julie Newmar), was an immediate hit; the Thursday installment was No. 5 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1965-66 season, and the Wednesday edition was No. 10.\nBatman was nominated for the Emmy Award for outstanding comedy series in its first year, losing out to CBS’ The Dick Van Dyke Show. A 20th Century Fox movie was rushed into production and played in theaters in the summer before season two kicked off in September 1966.\nHowever, the popularity of the show soon plummeted, and Batman — despite the addition of Yvonne Craig as Batgirl — was canceled in March 1968 after its third season.\nWest quickly struggled to find work, forced to make appearances in his cape and cowl at car shows and carnivals and in such obscure films as The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker (1971), written by Semple, and The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980). He and his family downsized, leaving their home in the tony Pacific Palisades for Ketchum, Idaho.\n“The people who were hiring, the people who were running the studios, running the shows, were dinosaurs,” the actor said in the 2013 documentary Starring Adam West. “They thought Batman was a big accident, that there was no real creative thought, expertise or art behind it. They were wrong.”\nHe returned to voice his iconic character in such cartoons as The New Adventures of Batman, Legends of the Superheroes, SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show and The Simpsons, and Warner Bros.’ long-awaited DVD release of ABC’s Batman in 2014 brought him back into the Bat Signal’s spotlight.\nHe was born William West Anderson in Seattle on Sept. 19, 1928, the second of two sons. His father, Otto, was a wheat farmer; his mother, Audrey, was a pianist and opera singer.\nWest attended an all-boys high school, then graduated with a major in English literature from Whitman College. During his senior year, he worked for a local radio station, doing everything from Sunday morning religion shows to the news.\nHe also starred in a couple of plays at the local theater. “I found that I could move an audience and I was appreciated,” he said.\nIn the Army, West served as an announcer on American Forces Network television, then worked as the station manager at Stanford while he was a graduate student.\nHe got a job at a McClatchy station in Sacramento, Calif., then moved to Hawaii, where he hosted a two-hour weekday show in the late 1950s with a diaper-wearing chimp named Peaches. (West said he once interviewed William Holden as the actor was passing through.)\nWest got a contract at Warner Bros. at $150 a week and was placed in one of the studio’s TV series — Colt .45, Maverick, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Cheyenne, etc. — pretty much every week.\nHe got his first regular TV role when he played Det. Sgt. Steve Nelson under the command of Robert Taylor on the 1959-62 ABC/NBC series The Detectives, coming aboard when that show expanded to one hour in color.\nAfter he split with Warner Bros., West showed up in such forgettable films as Geronimo (1962) starring Chuck Connors, Tammy and the Doctor (1963) with Sandra Dee and in The Three Stooges film The Outlaws Is Coming (1965) before Batman changed his life forever.\nHe later starred in a rejected 1991 NBC pilot episode called Lookwell — written by Conan O’Brien and Robert Smigel — in which he portrayed a once-famous TV detective who thinks he can solve crimes in real life.\nThen came the gig on MacFarlane’s Family Guy.\n“I had done a pilot with Seth that he had written for me. It turned out we had the same kind of comic sensibilities and got along well,” he said in a 2012 interview. “When Family Guy came around and Seth became brilliantly successful, he decided to call me and see what I was doing. He asked if I would like to come aboard as the mayor, and I thought it would be neat to do something sort of absurd and fun.”\nThe documentary Starring Adam West culminates with him receiving a star on The Hollywood Hall of Fame in 2012.\nHe married Marcelle in 1970; they met when she was the wife of the Lear Jet founder and they posed for a publicity photo at Santa Monica Airport, with him in his Batman costume. (They each had two children from their previous marriages, then added a couple of their own.)\nWhen Batman was canceled, “The only thing I thought is that it would be the end of me, and it was for a bit,” he told an audience at Comic-Con in 2014. “But then I realized that what we created in the show … we created this zany, lovable world.\n“I look around and I see the adults — I see you grew up with me, and you believe in the adventure. I never believed this would happen, that I would be up here with illustrious people like yourselves. I’m so grateful! I’m the luckiest actor in the world, folks, to have you still hanging around.”", "url": "http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/adam-west-dead-batman-star-832264", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170610153909/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/adam-west-dead-batman-star-832264" }, { "language": "en", "title": "DC Entertainment Honors Adam West, 1928-2017", "text": "Iconic Batman Television Actor Passes Away At Age 88\nAdam West's portrayal of Batman was a huge contribution to the Caped Crusader's status as a true pop culture icon.

He initially chaffed at being typecast after “Batman” went off the air after three seasons, but in later years he admitted he was pleased to have had a role in kicking off a big-budget film franchise by showing the character’s wide appeal.\n“You get terribly typecast playing a character like that,” he told The Associated Press in a 2014 interview.\n“But in the overall, I’m delighted because my character became iconic and has opened a lot of doors in other ways, too.” He returned to the role in an episode of the animated “The Simpsons.”\nWest gained newfound fame in the last two decades as the voice of Mayor Adam West on FOX’s “Family Guy.’’\n“When I was a kid, Adam was my hero because of who he played,’’ Ralph Garman said at that ceremony.

He taught me right from wrong, good versus evil and most significantly, the importance of driving a really cool car.’’\nBorn William West Anderson on Sept. 19, 1928, in Seattle and raised on a wheat ranch in Walla Walla, Washington, West began his career as a disc jockey and television show host. After serving in the Army, he changed his name to Adam West and arrived in Hollywood in 1959 after landing a contract with Warner Bros. He made his feature film debut that year opposite Paul Newman in “The Young Philadelphians.’’\nWest appeared on such television series as “Maverick’’ and “77 Sunset Strip’’ before getting his first regular series role on “The Detectives’’ in 1961. His other pre-”Batman” television credits include “Perry Mason,’” “Bewitched,” “Gunsmoke” and “Petticoat Junction.” His recent live action credits include “30 Rock” and “George Lopez.”\nWest has made a record 156 individual screen appearances as Batman, including 120 in the live-action television series, along with several animated series.\n“Batman” was the role he would remain associated with throughout his life.\nThe TV show was among the most popular in 1966, the year of its debut, and some of the era’s top actors signed on to play villains. Burgess Meredith squawked as the Penguin. Eartha Kitt purred as Catwoman. And Cesar Romero cackled as the Joker.\nYears later, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck would don Bruce Wayne’s camouflaging cape and cowl.\nFilmmakers Edgar Wright and Leslye Headland were among those lamenting West’s death on Twitter.\n“Farewell Adam West. You were MY Batman,” Wright wrote. “Such a super funny, cool, charismatic actor. Loved the show as a kid, still love the show now. POW!”\nHeadland wrote: My childhood hero & still my favorite Batman. RIP Adam West. #pow”\nHe was married three times, and had six children.

Man jailed for murder of children in Manchester, England
Petros Williams, 37, was convicted of the murder of Yolanda Molemohi and her brother Theo, aged four and two respectively, in Manchester, England. Before the murder was committed, the marriage between Williams and his wife, Morengoe Molemohi, had broken down after nine years, with the mother subsequently visiting dating websites on the Internet to attempt to find other men. In October 2009, Williams recorded a video of his two children, entitled: "Daddy, Yolly, Theo. Byee The End"; in it he instructed them to look at the camera and declare: "We will miss you, Mummy." After recording the video, he strangled them both. He then left two notes in his apartment for his wife to see. The first note said: "Mo, use the internet as much as you like. Luv Petros." The other note read: "Sorry my lovely Yolly and Theo. I love you. Sorry mummy decided to leave us for new boyfriend." Having made her way into the accommodation, Morengoe, the mother of the two kids, found Theo and Yolanda unconscious with Petros, who was dizzy but unharmed, in his apartment on October 14, 2009. The two young children were then transported to hospital but were declared deceased shortly afterwards. In Manchester Crown Court, where the five-day trial was held, Williams pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder; he made a claim that it was Morongoe, his wife, who had committed the murders. After the hearing, the jury inside the court took 1 hour and 30 minutes to deliver the verdict of guilty on both charges. Petros Williams was then sentenced to prison for a minimum of 28 years. Judge Justice Kenneth Parker spoke to Petros as he was sentencing Williams, stating to him: "It is hard to conceive any more shocking crime than a parent deliberately taking the life of his or her child. "We saw from the video that Yolanda and Theo were happy children, full of love and laughter, with a whole lifetime ahead of them and, above all, absolute trust in their father who, for entirely selfish purposes, would end their brief lives. You remain in denial. You have simply refused to come to terms with the enormity of your deeds. You have shown not an ounce of remorse in this court. Your pity has been exclusively reserved for yourself." In a statement released, Morengoe Molemohi commented after the court trial: "I will never be able to wipe the image from my mind, nor forget the terrifying desperate moments when I scrambled to help them, to call for help from others and to do what I could for them while I waited for the emergency services to arrive. Try to imagine the panic, the isolation and the sense of uselessness in those moments, as I realised that my most precious children needed me the most and I was unable to save them."

United Kingdom expels four Russian diplomats
The United Kingdom is expelling four Russian diplomats in an extradition row related to the Alexander Litvinenko case. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not named the four Russian diplomats, but according to the BBC, they are intelligence officers. Russia has refused to extradite the main suspect, Andrei Lugovoi, in the Litvinenko murder case, who is a Russian citizen. Under the "European Convention on Extradition 1957", Russia has the right to refuse the extradition of their citizens, and according to the Article 61 of the Constitution of Russia "The citizen of the Russian Federation may not be deported out of Russia or extradited to another state". Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he had "no apologies for the action we have taken" in expelling the diplomats. It is necessary to send a "clear and proportionate signal" to Russia, about how seriously the UK regards the matter. Russia is suggesting that Britain’s request for Lugovoi is hypocritical given that British courts granted political asylum to Boris Berezovsky and Akhmed Zakayev, both of whom are wanted in Russia. “It seems to us that London’s position is immoral, given this background,” said Mikhail Kamynin, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, and said it would prompt Russian retaliation. "Moreover, in London they should clearly realise that such provocative actions masterminded by the British authorities will not be left without an answer and cannot but entail the most serious consequences for Russian-British relations," he continued. In the British House of Commons on Monday, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Miliband said, "This is a situation the Government has not sought, and does not welcome. However we have no choice but to address it." In his statement to the Commons, Miliband highlighted the seriousness of the crime against Litvinenko and the subsequent danger to the community. "The facts...are therefore that a UK citizen has suffered a horrifying and lingering death. His murder put hundreds of others, residents and visitors, at risk of radiation contamination. And the UK Government has a wider duty to ensure the safety of the large Russian community living in the UK." Miliband indicated that Russia is an important ally, but co-operation with Russia on a range of issues is under review. "The heinous crime of murder does require justice," said Miliband. "This response is proportional and it is clear at whom it is aimed."

Britain ordered the expulsion of four Russian diplomats on Monday over Moscow's refusal to hand over, Lugovoy, the main suspect in the murder of ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, escalating tension between Russia and the West. REUTERS/Denis Sinyakov\nRussia said the decision was “immoral”, would prompt retaliation and could only entail “the most serious consequences for Russian-British relations”, according to a foreign ministry spokesman.\nAside from the expulsions -- the first since 1996 -- Britain said it would make it harder for Russian officials to come to the country and review cooperation on other issues. It said the case could harm Russian ties with the European Union as a whole.\n“This is a situation the government has not sought and does not welcome. But we have no choice but to address it,” British Foreign Secretary David Miliband told parliament.\nPrime Minister Gordon Brown, speaking after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, said he wanted good relations with Russia, but also wanted justice to be served. He said he made no apologies for the diplomatic expulsions.\n“We want to work together with Russia constructively on all the major international issues that we face,” said Brown, mentioning Iran and the Middle East.\nBut, he added: “A murder did take place. It has been investigated by the independent prosecuting authorities. They have laid a charge and they have made it clear who they want to try for this crime.\n“We’re sad that the cooperation has not been forthcoming. We have therefore had to take the action that we have taken.”\nBritish prosecutors want to charge former Russian state security agent Andrei Lugovoy with the murder of Litvinenko, a British citizen who died in a London hospital after ingesting a lethal dose of the rare radioactive isotope polonium-210.\nRussia has rejected Britain’s request to hand over Lugovoy, saying its constitution does not allow extraditions of Russian citizens.\nRussian President Vladimir Putin has said the demand is politically motivated. Lugovoy asserted his innocence on Monday.\n“We have chosen to expel four diplomats, four particular diplomats, in order to send a clear and proportionate signal to the Russian government about the seriousness of this case,” said Miliband, adding he was grateful for strong EU support.\n“We will discuss with partners the need for future EU-Russia engagement to take our concerns on this case into account.”\nTIT-FOR-TAT?\nBoth Washington and the European Union are at loggerheads with Moscow over issues ranging from missile defense and energy policies to the future of Serbia’s Kosovo province.\nPutin’s decision at the weekend to suspend participation in a treaty limiting armed forces in Europe has further raised concerns about a new “Cold War”.\nInterfax news agency quoted an “informed source in Moscow” -- a traditional reference to high-level leaks -- as saying the Russian response would not necessarily be tit-for-tat.\n“This is not our principle,” said the source. “It would bring us back to the days of the Cold War. It’s a shame that some have this principle entrenched deep in their minds.”\nAnalysts echoed the sentiment, saying while the expulsions would provoke a robust response from Russia, they did not expect the row to escalate too far as it might harm commercial ties.\n“I don’t think they’ll do anything that will jeopardize that,” said Derek Averre, Russia specialist at Birmingham University. “There won’t be a massive kind of escalation because it’s simply not in Moscow’s interests.”\nMoscow has dismissed as ridiculous Litvinenko’s deathbed accusation that Putin ordered his killing.\nBritain has rejected a Russian offer to put Lugovoy on trial at home, saying it doubts Moscow’s promises of a fair trial.\nIn London, Alexander Goldfarb, a Russian emigre and close friend of Litvinenko’s, expressed pleasure and surprise at Britain’s decision to expel diplomats.\n“It’s a great, and appropriate, response ...

We want to work with the Government of Russia and its people in tackling priority international issues such as Climate Change, Kosovo, Iran, the Middle East Peace Process and Sudan.

For all these reasons we need a relationship based on trust and mutual respect.\nOn 28 May the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) presented the Russian authorities with a formal request for the extradition to the UK of Andrey Lugovoy, so that he might stand trial for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko in a British court. Let me remind the House of the relevant procedures. The Crown Prosecution Service is an independent prosecuting authority. Once the Metropolitan Police has referred a case to the Crown Prosecution Service, it is then for the CPS to consider whether there is sufficient evidence to bring charges, and that it is in the public interest to do so. The CPS concluded that Mr Lugovoy did indeed have a case to answer, and sought the assistance of the Home Office in requesting his extradition from Russia. On 6 July the Russian Deputy Prosecutor General sent an official letter to the Home Secretary refusing to extradite Mr Lugovoy. The Director of Public Prosecutions announced on 10 July that, despite the Russian response, he continues to press for a trial of Mr Lugovoy in England.\nMr Speaker, given the seriousness of the crime and our ambitions for our bilateral relationship with Russia, Russia’s reply to the CPS’ extradition is extremely disappointing. It suggests that the Russian government has failed to register either how seriously we treat this case or the seriousness of the issues involved, despite lobbying at the highest level and clear explanations of our need for a satisfactory response. I think, Mr Speaker, that it is worth reiterating why this matters.\nThe Metropolitan Police has assembled a significant body of evidence against Andrey Lugovoy. I can confirm the following. It is alleged that this grave crime took place in London in November 2006 when Mr Lugovoy poisoned Mr Litvinenko by administering a lethal dose of Polonium-210, a highly radioactive substance. It is part of the prosecution case that on the afternoon of 1 November 2006, Mr Litvinenko drank tea which he had poured, after an invitation from Mr Lugovoy, from a teapot which was later found to be heavily contaminated with Polonium-210. There is also evidence that shows a trail of Polonium-210 on aircraft in which Mr Lugovoy travelled to and from London. On 23 November, Mr Litvinenko died in a London hospital of acute radiation injury.\nThe facts Mr Speaker are therefore that a UK citizen has suffered a horrifying and lingering death. His murder put hundreds of others, residents and visitors, at risk of radiation contamination. And the UK Government has a wider duty to ensure the safety of the large Russian community living in the UK.\nThe Deputy Prosecutor General’s letter says that the Russian constitution currently bars extradition. The Russian authorities have given no indication of any willingness to work with us to address this. This situation is not unique, and other countries have amended their constitutions, for example to give effect to the European Arrest Warrant. Indeed, Russia wants the EU and UK to open their borders to free movement of people, goods and services, as part of an intensification of relations. This needs to be matched by an equal Russian commitment to cross-border judicial co-operation.\nSince Mr Litvinenko’s death, the Government’s key priority has been to ensure the integrity of the legal process in order to secure justice for Mr Litvinenko. The Director of Public Prosecutions made clear that the allegations against Mr Lugovoy refer to a crime against a British citizen in London. The appropriate venue for the trial is therefore London. Moreover, both the UN and the EU have reported their concern that the law in Russia is applied selectively. There would, therefore, be grounds for a legal challenge over any attempt to accept a trial in Russia.\nGiven the importance of this issue, and Russia’s failure to co-operate to find a solution, we need an appropriate response. Our aims are clear: first to advance our judicial process, second to bring home to the Russian government the consequences of their failure to co-operate and third to emphasise our commitment to promoting the safety of British citizens and visitors.\nI have therefore agreed with colleagues across Government the following steps. First, we will expel four diplomats from the Russian Embassy in London. Second, we shall review the extent of our co-operation with Russia on a range of issues and as an initial step we have suspended visa facilitation negotiations with Russia and made other changes to visa practice. Third, international agreements mean Mr Lugovoy could be extradited to the UK if he travelled abroad. Fourth, we are grateful for the strong support we have received from EU partners and close allies, including through the EU Presidency statement on 1 June. We will discuss with partners the need for future EU-Russia engagement to take our concerns on this case into account.\nMr Speaker, the foundation of an effective international partnership is a set of shared values. The measures I am announcing are intended to uphold key individual rights and vital principles of independent judicial process. On that basis we will continue to work with the Government of Russia for mutual benefit.\nI will keep Parliament informed of developments as appropriate.", "url": "http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029391629&a=KArticle&aid=1183544695364", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070806095936/http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029391629&a=KArticle&aid=1183544695364" } ]

Banco Central do Brasil cria regras para proteção do consumidor bancário
O (CMN) anunciou, nesta quinta-feira, alterações importantes visando proteger o consumidor bancário brasileiro. Dentre as principais medidas, estão a extinção da Tarifa de Liquidação Antecipada (TLA) e a padronização das tarifas bancárias. Com a extinção da TLA, fica mais fácil a portabilidade de contas e empréstimos entre bancos, já que as tarifas então cobradas eram proibitivas, sem a regulamentação do Governo Brasileiro. Segundo , ministro brasileiro da Fazenda, "o CMN resolveu disciplinar a cobrança das tarifas bancárias. Ultimamente, tem se multiplicado os serviços bancários que são praticados e, conseqüentemente, a cobrança de tarifas. Essa multiplicação de serviços tem aumentado os custos para os clientes". O Conselho Monetário Nacional cortou o número de tarifas, de 55 para no máximo 20, que os bancos podem cobrar. Determinou ainda que, a partir de 30 de abril de 2008, as tarifas bancárias só poderão ser reajustadas a cada 180 dias.

[ { "language": "pt", "title": "Governo restringe tarifas que bancos podem cobrar", "text": "Governo restringe tarifas que bancos podem cobrar\nANA PAULA RIBEIRO\nda Folha Online, em Brasília\nO governo federal anunciou nesta quinta-feira um conjunto de normas para tentar regularizar a cobrança de tarifas bancárias. Entre as medidas anunciadas estão a padronização da nomenclatura de serviços, o fim da cobrança de uma taxa para liquidação antecipada de novos contratos de crédito e uma fórmula de cálculo para estes pagamentos.\n\"O CMN [Conselho Monetário Nacional] resolveu disciplinar a cobrança das tarifas bancárias. Ultimamente, tem se multiplicado os serviços bancários que são praticados e, conseqüentemente, a cobrança de tarifas. Essa multiplicação de serviços tem aumentado os custos para os clientes\", afirmou o ministro Guido Mantega (Fazenda).\nNa resolução que tratará do assunto, fica estabelecido que os bancos só poderão cobrar por serviços liberados pelo governo. Eles foram divididos em quatro categorias: serviços essenciais, prioritários, especiais e diferenciais.\nOs serviços essenciais são aqueles referentes à movimentação de depósitos à vista e de poupança e não serão passíveis da cobrança de tarifas. Para isso, o governo estipulou um pacote básico de tarifas que inclui fornecimento de cartão de débito, dez folhas de cheque por mês, quatro saques por mês, compensação de cheques, duas transferências de dinheiro na mesma instituição por mês e dois extratos.\nNo caso dos serviços prioritários, foram definidos critérios para cobrança de tarifas. As instituições financeiras terão que seguir uma nomenclatura definida e o reajuste de tarifas só poderá ser feito após 180 dias da implementação do seu reajuste anterior.\nA regra valerá a partir do dia 30 de abril de 2008. Se, por exemplo, o banco reajustar uma tarifa no dia 1º de maio, o próximo só poderá ocorrer em 29 de outubro.\nNo grupo de serviços especiais estão aqueles com regulamentação específica e não sofrerão alterações --como o crédito rural e imobiliário.\nJá os serviços diferenciados-- como entrega em domicílio e aluguel de cofre-- não foram considerados pelo CMN como serviços associados à movimentação de conta corrente ou poupança e, por isso, estarão sujeitos apenas ao contrato firmado entre cliente e banco.\nLiquidação antecipada\nO CMN editará uma nova resolução proibindo os bancos de cobrarem tarifa para liquidação antecipada (TLA) de operações de crédito e leasing feitas por pessoas físicas ou micro e pequenas empresas. A regra vale apenas para os contratos assinados a partir da edição da medida, cuja data não foi fixada.\nHoje, a maior parte das instituições estipula uma TLA para o pagamento antecipado e não há uma regra para trazer o valor da dívida ao valor presente. A resolução que será editada também define a fórmula para cálculo.\nNo caso dos contratos em até 12 meses, a instituição financeira deverá utilizar a taxa de juros presente no contrato. Acima deste prazo, ela deverá usar esta taxa de juros ajustada pela variação da taxa Selic.\nAté o dia 3 de março de 2008, as instituições financeiras deverão divulgar também o custo efetivo total (CET) de uma operação de crédito, que deverá ser expressa em taxa percentual ao ano. O objetivo é evitar que uma instituição anuncie financiamentos a taxas de juros reduzidas e, no ato do contrato, inclua tarifas, como a de abertura de crédito, o que encarece o custo efetivo do financiamento.\nA CET deverá considerar o fluxo das liberações de recursos e de pagamentos, juros, tributos, tarifas, seguros e outras taxas cobradas do cliente. Essa taxa deverá constar das propagandas feitas pelas instituições financeiras.\nAcompanhe as notícias em seu celular: digite o endereço wap.folha.com.br", "url": "http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/dinheiro/ult91u352384.shtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071208120603/http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/dinheiro/ult91u352384.shtml" } ]

Obama inicia el proceso de formar equipo y gabinete
Barack Obama George W. Bush El flamante presidente electo de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, inició días antes de su victoria de ayer los contactos para formar su equipo en la Casa Blanca y el gobierno. George W. Bush indicó en la noche electoral que "la elección de este presidente es el reconocimiento al trabajo duro, el optimismo y la fe en la promesa de nuestra nación" y que facilitaría al equipo de Obama el proceso de transición necesario hasta la toma de posesión el 20 de enero. Todo parece indicar que Obama contará con antiguos miembros del gabinete de Bill Clinton y con políticos republicanos, tal y como dejó entrever en una entrevista a la ABC News. Aunque todavía no se manejan nombres, el caso más llamativo es el de Colin Powell, ex secretario de Estado con George W. Bush y al que le fue ofrecido un puesto en el gobierno de Obama después de anunciar que votaría por los demócratas. Junto a Powell, muchas miradas se dirigen también hacia el actual Secretario de Defensa, Robert Gates, del que se dice que podría permanecer en su puesto. El que parece seguro para jefe de gabinete en la Casa Blanca, según los propios miembros del Partido Demócrata, es el congresista por Illinois y que ya fuera miembro del equipo de Bill Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, hombre conocedor de los entresijos del gobierno. Dos temas preocupan especialmente entre los cercanos a Obama: la crisis económica y la defensa. Al igual que sus antecesores, la primera reunión como presidente electo la tendrá hoy mismo con los miembros del gabinete de Bush encargados de los temas de seguridad nacional. El director de la CIA, Michael Hayden, ha asegurado que Obama "conocerá todas las posibilidades de despliegue con que cuenta Estados Unidos". En esta materia, las cuestiones fundamentalmente serán el estado de la cuestión en materia de terrorismo, las guerras de Iraq y Afganistán, el nuevo resurgir de Rusia, el programa nuclear de Irán, o la situación del escudo antimisiles en Europa, al cual ayer contestó Rusia indicando que colocaría cohetes en Kaliningrado, cerca de la frontera con Polonia. Después será el turno de enfrentarse a los principales problemas del país, comenzando por la crisis, cuyas dimensiones ya son mundiales. Más aún teniendo en cuenta que los dirigentes internacionales se han encomendado a Obama para que construya "un nuevo mundo" económico. El secretario del Tesoro podría ser un antiguo miembro del gabinete de Clinton que le ayudaría a poner en práctica el plan de rescate contra la crisis para la clase media que diseñó su equipo. Obama aspira a que los ciudadanos puedan retirar dinero de sus pensiones sin penalizaciones, a incluir rebajas fiscales para las empresas que creen nuevos puestos de trabajo y a congelar de manera temporal las ejecuciones hipotecarias de quienes se esfuerzan por pagar sus cuotas.

Rahm Emanuel ha sido el elegido por Obama según han informado fuentes del Partido Demócrata. Sin embargo, Emanuel aún no ha aceptado de forma pública el cargo pero se espera que lo haga en las próximas horas.\nEnmanuel es congresista por Illinois desde 2003 y ha formado parte del equipo de Bill Clinton, del que fue consejero en 2002. Entonces siempre mantuvo posturas agresivas en la salud, el comercio y asistencia social. Conoce, por tanto, el funcionamiento de la Casa Blanca y del Congreso por dentro y podría acercar al candidato a sus líderes demócratas. Cuando acudió al parque de Chicago donde Obama celebró anoche la victoria, Emanuel se limitó a sonreír cuando le preguntaban si tenía intención de aceptar el puesto que le habían ofrecido, informa el New York Times en su web.\nDesde las filas demócratas también se ha informado de que Obama está estudiando ya varios candidatos para dirigir los equipos que se encarguen de la economía y la seguridad interior. Estos son los dos temas que más preocupan a los estadounidenses y en los que no puede perder tiempo ya que se enfrenta a una grave crisis financiera y dos guerras abiertas. Tendrá que ponerse manos a la obra de inmediato para cumplir las promesas y las expectativas generadas por su campaña.\nEl presidente electo pasará toda la semana en Chicago, donde se encuentra la sede de su campaña y donde pergeñará los retoques a su gabinete. Su equipo de transición, encabezado por el ex jefe de Gabinete de la Casa Blanca John Podesta, tiene previsto comenzar a anunciar sus nombramientos ya la semana próxima, mucho más rápido de lo habitual en los relevos de Gobierno en EE UU.\nAsí pretende, según han informado, evitar repetir el error del presidente Clinton, que tras ganar en 1992 no designó a sus principales colaboradores en el Gobierno hasta cinco días antes de la toma de posesión, sin tiempo para que los titulares pudieran ponerse al día sobre las prioridades de sus carteras.\nPrimera reunión de seguridad\nObama, presidente electo de Estados Unidos, ya comienza a asumir las funciones del cargo que, de facto, no recibirá hasta el 20 de enero. Este jueves celebrará su primera reunión de seguridad, un encuentro que, cada día, mantiene el presidente con los responsables de inteligencia del país. En ella Obama comenzará su preparación para afrontar problemas como el terrorismo global o el resurgir de Rusia, ha informado un portavoz del Gobierno.\nEl mismo, ha afirmado que Obama recibirá el mismo informe que George W. Bush. Un expediente más amplio y detallado que el que recibió cuando aún era candidato al cargo junto con el republicano John McCain como parte de la transición de poderes. \"Él (Obama), conocerá todas las posibilidades de despliegue con que cuenta EE UU\", ha afirmado Michael Hayden, director de la CIA a una carta a los empleados.\nEntre los problemas más inmediatos, Obama se enfrentará, además de a dos guerras abiertas, a las protestas de Pakistán por los ataques de Estados Unidos a la zona fronteriza con Afganistán en la que se encuentran los talibanes, el futuro de la prisión de Guantánamo, que ha declarado que quiere cerrar, y las ambiciones nucleares de Irán. Además, Rusia votó el miércoles colocar nuevos misiles cerca de la frontera con Polonia, como desafío a los planes de Washington de colocar un sistema anti-misiles en el país centroeuropeo.\nUn desayuno en familia y una visita al gimnasio La primera mañana en la que Barack Obama se ha despertado como presidente de Estados Unidos, después de una larga e intensa campaña, la ha pasado en familia. Desayunó con su mujer, Michelle, y con sus dos hijas en su casa de Chicago. Después se ha dirigido al gimnasio, a donde acude de forma regular a pesar de su frenética actividad política. Con la prensa sólo se ha encontrado a la entrada de un edificio de la ciudad, donde se ha dirigido para mantener varias reuniones y felicitar a sus colaboradores más cercanos. \"¿Habéis dormido mucho?\" ha preguntado el presidente electo a los fotógrafos que lo esperaban. Los reporteros, después de protestar por la hora a la que acabó la celebración demócrata, le han preguntado por su descanso: \"menos de lo que me gustaría\", ha contestado antes de entrar en el edificio.", "url": "http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Obama/comienza/formar/gabinete/nuevo/presidente/EE/UU/elpepuint/20081105elpepuint_17/Tes", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100207180029/http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Obama/comienza/formar/gabinete/nuevo/presidente/EE/UU/elpepuint/20081105elpepuint_17/Tes" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Bush: \"Los estadounidenses pueden estar orgullosos por el resultado\"", "text": "George W.

Unas elecciones que ha conseguido movilizar al 66% de los estadounidenses, una participación que no se alcanzaba en las últimas dos décadas.\nEn una declaración en la Rosaleda de la Casa Blanca, que no se convertirá en la residencia del demócrata hasta el próximo enero, Bush ha destacado que el resultado es especialmente \"alentador\" para la generación de estadounidenses de raza negra que ha vivido los años de la discriminación racial y que pelearon por los derechos civiles hace 40 años. \"La elección de este presidente es el reconocimiento al trabajo duro, el optimismo y la fe en la promesa de nuestra nación\".\n\"Ahora queda mucho trabajo por hacer\", ha afirmado Bush, en referencia al proceso que queda pendiente antes de que Obama jure el cargo. El presidente actual facilitará el trámite para que se pueda hacer de la forma más cómoda posible y ha añadido que será \"emocionante ver a Barack Obama, su esposa Michelle y sus dos encantadoras hijas entrar en la Casa Blanca\".\nEn sus palabras frente a los periodistas el 43º presidente de los Estados Unidos también ha querido hacer mención de la campaña realizada por el candidato republicano, John McCain. \"El pueblo americano siempre le reconocerá su dedicación a este país y sé que seguirá trabajando para él\", ha afirmado.\nDespués ha afirmado que, a pesar de estar en un tiempo de cambios, \"algunas cosas no cambiarán\". El Gobierno de Estados Unidos \"seguirá protegiendo al pueblo americano\" con su nuevo \"comandante en jefe\".\nBush ya ha invitado a Obama y su familia a visitar la residencia presidencial para felicitarle personalmente por su victoria e informarle de los asuntos más urgentes, ha confirmado la Casa Blanca. \"Vas a comenzar uno de los mayores viajes de tu vida. Felicidades y disfrútalo\" le ha dicho el actual presidente al que será su sucesor en el cargo, según ha informado la portavoz de la presidencia Dana Perino. El 20 de enero el senador de Illinois será investido como el 44º presidente de los Estados Unidos.\nBush también ha llamado a McCain, después de que el candidato republicano reconociera su derrota, para alabar su comportamiento durante la campaña, ha informado Perino. \"John, lo diste todo.

Bush denunció, por otro lado, algunas de las tácticas negativas utilizadas por la campaña del candidato republicano John McCain. Criticó, también, la selección de Sarah Palin para la Vicepresidencia, al argumentar que no está \"preparada para ser presidente\" y sustituir a McCain si fuera necesario.\nEl respaldo del ex jefe de la diplomacia estadounidense y ex jefe del Estado Mayor Conjunto a la candidatura de Obama es objeto de debate político entre los analistas del país que tratan de determinar el posible impacto de ese apoyo a solo 15 días de la cita con las urnas el próximo 4 de noviembre.\nLos analistas lo ven como un gran golpe\nPara la revista Politico es posible que \"ayude a Obama a convencer a los escépticos de centro que dudan de que esté preparado para hacer frente a los desafíos del puesto de comandante en jefe, al tiempo que resta fuerza al argumento de McCain de que él está mejor preparado en los temas de seguridad nacional\".\nPodría impulsar a Obama entre los independientes, los moderados y los republicanos\nSimilar percepción comparte Jeff Zeleny, del diario The New York Times, quien apunta que el apoyo de Powell \"podría impulsar a Obama entre los independientes, los moderados y los republicanos y neutralizar las preocupaciones sobre su experiencia\".\nPara el diario The Wall Street Journal la noticia representa \"la última señal de que el Partido Republicano se está fracturando ante la presión a la que se ve sometida la campaña\".\nEn ese contexto, Mark Halperin, de la revista Time, destaca que la ventaja \"indiscutible\" de Powell aborta cualquier posibilidad de que McCain pueda ganar el ciclo informativo en los próximos días, que se centrará, según el columnista, en las repercusiones del apoyo de Powell.\nPor contra, influyentes comentaristas conservadores como Rush Limbaugh minimizaron también el apoyo y distintos republicanos lo vincularon con una revancha de Powell por sus tensas relaciones con Bush.\nLas pruebas falsas sobre Irak, \"una mancha\" en su historial\nPowell fue una de las voces más moderadas durante el primer mandato de Bush pero se convirtió en una figura polémica tras defender ante Naciones Unidas, en 2003, la invasión de Irak. Posteriormente se demostró que las pruebas presentadas ante la ONU habían sido fruto de una inteligencia fallida. Powell se refirió después a ese episodio como una \"mancha\" en su historial.\nPese al fatídico episodio, Powell y su larga trayectoria militar y política gozan de buena reputación en el país, tras trascender que había accedido a comparecer ante la ONU en última instancia y conocerse que había expresado objeciones sobre las pruebas a presentar.", "url": "http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/421183/0/obama/cargo/powell", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20081025011932/http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/421183/0/obama/cargo/powell/" } ]

U.S. Navy forced to give up on Burma relief
The seal of the US Navy The United States was forced to withdraw from its relief efforts in Burma/Myanmar today due to the continued refusal of the ruling government to allow the delivery of aid. Four U.S. naval ships were ordered to depart from the area on Thursday. After 15 failed attempts to convince the ruling military junta to allow U.S. helicopters to deliver much needed supplies to areas such as the , Admiral , the head of the , indicated that they were left with no choice but to leave. "I am both saddened and frustrated to know that we have been in a position to help ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people ... but have been unable to do so because of the unrelenting positions of the Burma military junta," Keating said via his headquarters. He said that the U.S. would still be willing to offer help if the junta simply allowed them in. The and navies have also been forced to withdraw due to the junta's unwillingness to allow them to provide assistance to cyclone victims. (UN) Secretary-General had been previously assured by the ruling Burmese generals that relief workers would be allowed to help, but reports indicate this has still not happened on the ground. The UN, in its latest report on the situation, noted that Burma was faced with a "serious lack of sustained humanitarian assistance for the affected populations." Foreign aid agencies already in place and trying to help victims have reported that they continue to face problems in delivering large volumes of relief supplies in the affected regions. The U.S. naval ships had 22 heavy-lift helicopters that would have been ideally suited to the task. "Important heavy-lifting capability in the delta would have been a standard operating procedure for relief agencies in the response," said Paul Risley of the . The UN group has been trying to get ten civilian helicopters to fill the role in the interim, but the Burmese authorities have still not allowed nine of the civilian aircraft to be used in the relief efforts. To date, the Burmese military has allowed 106 airlifts of foreign supplies to occur, but only into , the largest city in the nation. Those delivered supplies are slated to be forwarded to the areas devastated by the cyclone. However, the ruling junta has refused to allow inland flights of foreign military helicopters to deliver relief aid. The junta believes they have sufficient abilities to deliver the resources but foreign analysts believe that the group does not wish to demonstrate to the Burmese people that it needs outside help. Doctors Without Borders has said that the relief efforts to date are not enough, and that many remote areas have received no assistance. The UN determined that Burma may need relief efforts for a year. The has found that 495,000 acres of rice production areas have been damaged out of a total of 2.5 million acres. The areas are either still under too much water to sustain crops, or have been contaminated by seawater during Cyclone Nargis. According to Risley, the year-long importing of rice would be required as the damage was done just before the normal planting season. "This year's crop will not meet requirements," Risley said. "The losses to the production of rice are very deep. It would be typical for the WFP to provide food rations through the next harvest, which could be a year away." Access by foreigners to Burma has been generally restricted since the cyclone. Visas and travel permission to affected areas have been limited by the government. The reported that "the small number of visas and the short duration of travel permits for access" into the areas in need of aid "continue to impose serious constraints on the effectiveness of overall operations." The has said that, as of yet, there appears to be no "second wave" of deaths in the wake of the blocked relief efforts, which may be a sign of hope. 78,000 people were killed by the cyclone. To date, another 56,000 remain unaccounted for, according to Burma's government.

It made no announcement of the action.\nThe U.N. says 2.4 million people were affected by the Cyclone Nargis, and more than 1 million still remain in desperate need of food, shelter or medical care. The government says the May 2-3 storm killed 78,000 people and left another 56,000 missing.\nIn an interview this week with the Thailand-based magazine Irrawaddy, Zarganar said he and more than 400 entertainers in Myanmar had volunteered to aid cyclone victims, making numerous trips to the delta.\nSome areas, he said, had neither been reached by the government nor international relief agencies. He and his group distributed food, blankets, mosquito nets and other emergency aid.\nZarganar said his group sometimes had \"confrontations with authorities\" during the trips.\nEarlier, other Myanmar entertainers had complained that authorities want all aid to be distributed through official channels rather than by private individuals and groups.\nThe military regime continues to impose constraints on international rescue efforts as well, aid agencies say.\nU.S. Navy ships laden with relief supplies steamed away from Myanmar's coast Thursday, their helicopters barred by the ruling junta from ferrying clean water and other supplies to the victims.\nThe USS Essex group, which includes four ships, 22 helicopters and 5,000 U.S. military personnel, had been off the coast for more than three weeks hoping for a green light to deliver aid to the survivors.\n\"The ruling military junta in Burma have done nothing to convince us that they intend to reverse their deliberate decision to deny much-needed aid to the people of Burma,\" Lt. Denver Applehans said in an e-mail from the flotilla. Myanmar is often called by its old name, Burma.\nRestrictions on visa and travel permission for foreign workers, as well as on entry of some equipment, continue to hamper the aid effort — despite a pledge made almost two weeks ago by junta leader Senior Gen. Than Shwe to U.N. Secretary Ban Ki-moon to allow foreign aid workers free access to devastated areas.\n\"The small number of visas and the short duration of travel permits for access\" into the delta area \"continue to impose serious constraints on the effectiveness of overall operations,\" the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said.\nZarganar's detention was reported as an international human rights group charged that the military regime has forced cyclone survivors to do menial labor in exchange for food and has stepped up a campaign to evict the homeless from aid shelters.\nLondon-based Amnesty International also said authorities in several cyclone-hit areas continue to divert aid despite the junta's pledge to crack down on the problem weeks ago.\n\"Unless human rights safeguards are observed, tens of thousands of people remain at risk,\" Amnesty said in a report released Thursday. \"Respect for human rights must be at the center of the relief effort.\"\nAn Amnesty representative said Zarganar's detention was indicative of the kinds of human rights concerns that the group was trying to highlight in a midst of a crisis that some consider strictly humanitarian.\n\"There's simply no doubt this was done for political reasons ... but has an extra element because it can presumed to be linked to the humanitarian assistance effort,\" said Benjamin Zawacki, a researcher for London-base Amnesty International.\nThe 46-year-old Zarganar is also a successful producer, director, writer and actor, and works as a dentist to pay the bills.\nHe was first arrested in 1988 for his political activities and again for helping his mother — a member of the opposition National League for Democracy — during her campaign for the May 1990 general elections. The NLD, the party of detained Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, swept those elections, but the military regime refused to give up power.\nZarganar was last arrested and held for three weeks for providing food and other necessities to Buddhist monks who spearheaded anti-government protests in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, last September.", "url": "http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/05/asia/AS-GEN-Myanmar.php", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080607075808/http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/05/asia/AS-GEN-Myanmar.php" }, { "language": "en", "title": "U.S. Navy Ends Bid to Ferry Storm Relief Into Burma", "text": "BANGKOK, June 4 -- The U.S. Navy on Wednesday aborted its three-week effort to use helicopters aboard a warship off Burma to deliver much-needed aid directly to cyclone survivors, after the country's ruling military junta ignored repeated offers to assist.\nThe USS Essex, an amphibious assault ship, and three accompanying vessels were to leave the Burmese coast Thursday, after 15 attempts to persuade the junta to allow use of U.S. military helicopters and landing craft, said Adm. Timothy J. Keating, head of U.S. Pacific Command.\nThe decision came as the United Nations predicted that Burma will need food aid for a year, and civilian aid agencies continue to struggle to increase their food delivery capacity in the devastated Irrawaddy Delta.\nDoctors Without Borders, the international aid agency, said the flow of supplies into the region is still inadequate, and survivors in many remote villages have yet to receive outside assistance.\nThe Burmese government has permitted U.S. military planes to fly supplies into Rangoon, the country's largest city, for forwarding to the zone the cyclone struck May 2-3. The U.S. Agency for International Development and the Pentagon have conducted 106 airlifts into the country, Pacific Command said.\nBut the junta has refused to permit foreign military helicopters to carry supplies into the remote areas. The junta contends that it has adequate resources for the job; outside analysts suggest that it mistrusts foreign intentions and is unwilling to demonstrate to its people that it needs foreign help.\n\"I am both saddened and frustrated to know that we have been in a position to help ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people . . . but have been unable to do so because of the unrelenting positions of the Burma military junta,\" Keating said in a statement issued by his headquarters. He said that should Burmese officials change their minds, the U.S. military remains willing to help.\nKeating flew into Rangoon on May 12 to press the case. He said in the statement Wednesday that he proposed that Burmese officials visit his ships in international waters and fly along on military aid missions to ease any concerns they might have.\nPaul Risley, a spokesman for the U.N. World Food Program, lamented the government's rejection of military aid, telling journalists in Bangkok that \"these helicopters represented immediate heavy-lift capacity in the delta.\" The World Food Program is trying to get 10 civilian helicopters operating in Burma.\nRisley said Burma would probably have to import rice for a year, because of widespread harm done to fertile farmland just weeks before the planting period for the monsoon crop.\nThe U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said about 495,000 acres of the delta's 2.5 million acres of rice land was seriously damaged and will not be available for planting this season, because of contamination by seawater or because the land remains under too much water.\n\"This year's crop will not meet requirements,\" Risley said. \"The losses to the production of rice are very deep. It would be typical for the WFP to provide food rations through the next harvest, which could be a year away.\"\nBurmese authorities and aid agencies are trying to help some survivors plant rice in the next few weeks, by securing and distributing seeds, fertilizer and power tillers, said Hiroyuki Konuma, the FAO's deputy regional representative.\nOtherwise, he said, \"poor farmers, who have already lost their assets, will suffer from hunger and poverty for a long time, while national food security will be seriously jeopardized.\"", "url": "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/04/AR2008060400978.html?hpid=moreheadlines", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210318045746/https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/04/AR2008060400978.html?hpid=moreheadlines" }, { "language": "en", "title": "US aid ships to leave Burma", "text": "More than a month on, many people still need much more help US Navy ships are due to leave Burma's coastline because of the continued refusal of the government to allow them to help victims of Cyclone Nargis. The navy said it would withdraw the four ships, carrying helicopters and landing craft, after 15 failed attempts to convince the regime to let them in. French and British navy ships have also been withdrawn after being refused permission to operate. Cyclone Nargis left more than 133,000 people dead or missing. More than a month after the disaster, the UN estimates that 2.4 million people are in need of food, shelter or medical care, and more than a million have yet to receive foreign aid. 'Saddened and frustrated' Admiral Timothy Keating, commander of US Pacific Command, said the Burmese government had refused the navy's offer of help \"each and every time\". \"I am both saddened and frustrated to know that we have been in a position to help ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people and help mitigate further loss of life, but have been unable to do so because of the unrelenting position of the Burma military junta,\" he said. Aid agencies say a huge operation is needed to help cyclone survivors With aid agencies reporting continued difficulties in operating inside the affected delta region, correspondents say the 22 heavy-lift helicopters on board the US ships could have made a real difference. \"Important heavy-lifting capability in the delta would have been a standard operating procedure for relief agencies in the response,\" said Paul Risley, a spokesman for the UN World Food Programme. Despite the promise of full co-operation given by the ruling generals to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during a recent visit, international relief agencies still say there is an urgent need for better access. They say they are still chronically short of transport, and are being given only intermittent access to the delta. Correspondents say it is proving hard to get a clear overall picture - but in its most recent report the UN said there was a \"serious lack of sustained humanitarian assistance for the affected populations\". Ten commercial helicopters have now been chartered by the UN, but these are expensive and still insufficient for the task.\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

United Nations suspends operations in Gaza after schools and trucks are hit by Israeli forces
The United Nations (UN) suspended all of its operations in Gaza from yesterday, after the bombing of a convoy of UN aid trucks which killed one Palestinian driver, and wounded three others. Thursday was the second day of attacks on UN targets after three UN schools housing refugees were bombed on Tuesday, killing over 50 civilians. "UNRWA decided to suspend all its operations in the Gaza Strip because of the increasing hostile actions against its premises and personnel," Adnan Abu Hasna, a Gaza-based spokesman for the (UNRWA), said yesterday. Richard Miron, spokesman for the UN said that the Israeli military had been notified in advance of the coordinates of the relief trucks saying, "This underlines the fundamental insecurity inside Gaza at a time when we are trying to address the dire humanitarian needs of the population there." The bombing of the UN trucks was the last straw for the UN, already angered after Israeli tanks fired on a UN school housing refugees killing 50 including an entire family of seven young children. The UN said that they had given Israel the coordinates of their schools, and demanded accountability for the attacks. Israel's government says it is investigating the incidents. More schools were attacked including the al-Fakhora School killing 40 people, many of them women and children. Hours before the attack on the al-Fakhora School was an attack on Asma Elementary School which killed three Palestinian cousins. The cousin's father said the bodies were so mangled he couldn't tell the bodies apart, "We came to the school when the Israelis warned us to leave," he said. "We hoped it would be safe. We were 20 in one room. We had no electricity, no blankets, no food. "Suddenly we heard a bomb that shook the school. Windows smashed. Children started to scream. A relative came and told me one of my sons was killed. I found my son's body with his two cousins. They were cut into pieces by the shell." Like al-Fakhora, Asma Elementary is an UNRWA school. The (ICRC) said on yesterday that they were trying for four days to get their ambulances to a Gaza neighborhood before being allowed to by Israeli military forces. After getting there, they said, they found four starving children sitting next to the bodies of their dead mothers. "This is a shocking incident," said Pierre Wettach, ICRC chief for Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. "The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the to assist the wounded." Israel granted a three-hour ceasefire yesterday that they gave for aid workers to enter areas that they had closed off. 50 bodies were recovered during the ceasefire, raising the death toll to 763, including more than 200 children, since air raids first began on December 27. 3,121 people have also been wounded. Eight Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died in the same period. Israeli forces also shot a Palestinian man in the during a protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. Yesterday, a Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces after a confrontation in the West Bank Jewish settlement of near Jerusalem.

Doctors in Gaza said more than 40 people died, including children, in what appears to be the biggest single loss of life of the campaign when Israeli bombs hit al-Fakhora school, in Jabaliya refugee camp, while it was packed with hundreds of people who had fled the fighting.\nMost of those killed were in the school playground and in the street, and the dead and injured lay in pools of blood. Pictures on Palestinian TV showed walls heavily marked by shrapnel and bloodstains, and shoes and shredded clothes scattered on the ground. Windows were blown out.\nHours before, three young men who were cousins died when the Israelis bombed Asma elementary school in Gaza City. They were among 400 people who had sought shelter there after fleeing their homes in Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza.\nAbed Sultan, 20, a student, and his cousins, Rawhi and Hussein Sultan, labourers aged 22, died. Abed Sultan's father, Samir, said the bodies were so mangled that he could not tell his son from the cousins. \"We came to the school when the Israelis warned us to leave,\" he said. \"We hoped it would be safe.

A relative came and told me one of my sons was killed. I found my son's body with his two cousins. They were cut into pieces by the shell.\"\nThe UN was particularly incensed over targeting of the schools, because Israeli forces knew they were packed with families as they had ordered them to get out of their homes with leaflet drops and loudspeakers. It said it had identified the schools as refugee centres to the Israeli military and provided GPS coordinates.\nIsrael accused Hamas of using civilians as cover, and said the Islamist group could stop the assault on Gaza by ending its rocket attacks on Israel.\nThe Palestinian authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, last night delivered an impassioned plea to the UN security council to act immediately to stop the Israeli operation, which he described as a \"catastrophe\" for his people. Israel has agreed a \"humanitarian corridor\" to allow Palestinians to get essential goods.\nThe rising casualty toll, more than 640 Palestinians killed since the assault began 12 days ago, gave fresh impetus to diplomatic efforts. The White House offered its first hint of concern at Israel's actions by calling on it to avoid civilian deaths. The president-elect, Barack Obama, broke his silence by saying he was \"deeply concerned\" about civilian casualties on both sides. He said he would have \"plenty to say\" about the crisis after his swearing in.\nGordon Brown said the Middle East was facing its \"darkest moment yet\" but hoped a ceasefire could be arranged soon.\nExplaining its attack on al-Fahora school, the Israeli military claimed that a mortar was fired from the playground, and it responded with a single shell whichkilled known Hamas fighters; the resulting explosion was compounded because Hamas \"booby-trapped the school\". Two Hamas militants were among the dead, both part of a rocket-launching cell.\nThe head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency, John Ging, said three shells landed at the perimeter of the school. \"It was entirely inevitable if artillery shells landed in that area there would be a high number of casualties,\" he said.\nHe said UN staff vetted those Palestinians who sought shelter at the school. \"So far we've not had violations by militants of our facilities,\" he said, though responding to questions he accepted there had been clashes between Hamas and the Israeli army in the area.\nEarlier in the day, Ging visited Gaza's hospital and was shocked at the scale of civilian casualties. \"What you have in this hospital is the consequences of political failure and the complete absence of any accountability for actions that are being taken. It's the rule of the gun now, and it has to stop,\" he said.\nAt least 12 of one family, seven children aged from one to 12, three women and two men, were killed in an air strike on their house in Gaza City. Nine others were believed trapped.\nIsrael continues to insist most of those killed by its forces are Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters - although its assertion it is going to extraordinary lengths to target only \"terrorists\" has been undermined by a tank firing on a building used by Israeli troops, killing four of them, on Monday.\nAnother soldier was killed yesterday as Israeli forces continued their push into Gaza City. Tanks and troops also moved on the southern town of Khan Yunis.\nThe invasion has yet to achieve what Israel says is its goal of stopping rocket attacks. Hamas fired more than 30 into Israel yesterday, one to within 20 miles of Tel Aviv at Gadera, wounding a baby.\nThe de facto Hamas prime minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, issued a statement from hiding, saying that the Gazans would defeat Israel. \"[Israel] has failed to force the population to surrender,\" he said.", "url": "http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/07/gaza-israel-obama", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090109010323/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/07/gaza-israel-obama" }, { "language": "en", "title": "UN: No Hamas Fighters in Bombed Gaza School", "text": "UN: No Hamas Fighters in Bombed Gaza School\nUnited Nations investigators say they have uncovered no evidence to support a claim by the Israeli military that Hamas fighters were holed up in a Gaza school, prompting a deadly attack by Israeli forces that killed 40 civilians, many of them children.\nThe Israel Defense Forces Spokesman's Office asserted that militants fired mortars from inside the school at troops involved in Israel's controversial incursion into the Gaza Strip in pursuit of Hamas fighters — a military operation that is drawing fierce international condemnation as civilian casualties mount. \"The IDF returned fire,\" according to the spokesman's office. (See pictures of Israeli soldiers sweeping into Gaza.)\nBut after a preliminary investigation of the Jan. 6 attack at the Fakhura girl's elementary school, \"we're 99.9% sure that no militants were at the school,\" says Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The agency questioned survivors, including UNRWA staff that run the school under U.N. auspices.\nBefore the school was hit by Israeli bombs, some 400 Palestinians fleeing shelling of the Jabalya refugee camp had taken shelter inside Fakhura, hoping that the U.N. flag would shield them from harm, according to survivors. Earlier, the U.N., which oversees relief efforts for more than 800,000 Palestinians in Gaza, had passed along the coordinates of all its schools and buildings to the Israeli military so that its humanitarian missions would be spared attack.\nSome reports say that Israel struck the school with artillery shells, while others say with mortars. Thirty Palestinians were killed outright from the incoming fire, and 10 others died last night in Gaza's overburdened and badly provisioned hospitals, according to the U.N. More than 55 were injured. Israeli bombs also hit a second school on Tuesday, say Gaza residents, killing three civilians.\nSome Jabalya refugees at the school said they saw a small group of militants firing mortars near the school and running away, the Associated Press reported. A Gaza resident contacted by TIME said there is a citrus grove not far from the school. \"Most likely, the militants fired from there,\" said the resident, who requested anonymity.\nBut Israeli military officials insist that the mortars were fired from within the crowded schoolyard and that Hamas is using civilians as human shields. The IDF gave the names of two Hamas combatants it says were killed inside the school — Imad and Hassan Abu Askar — who allegedly fired the mortars. But the IDF did not explain how it was able to identify them among the many casualties. Troops did not visit the school after the attack, nor did the IDF have access to a casualty list from Gaza's hospitals. (See pictures of Israel's deadly assault on Gaza.)\nThe school deaths intensified urgent international calls for a cease-fire. Israeli diplomats said Israel was taking \"very, very seriously\" a cease-fire proposal from Egypt and France that is backed by the U.S. Several senior Hamas officials in Cairo were briefed on the proposal and said they were debating it.\nThe Egyptians are suggesting that both sides agree to an immediate truce, then work out long-term details on lifting the Israeli blockade of Gaza. However, one member of the Hamas politburo in Damascus complained to TIME that the proposal does not call for the immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. \"Without that, it's a joke,\" he said.\nOn Tuesday, as the Israeli military tightened its hold on Gaza's towns and refugee camps, civilian casualties mounted sharply, with 77 killed, taking the total death toll to 631 since the operation began 12 days ago. Israel says it will not halt its ground offensive until Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel. Hamas launched 30 rockets on Tuesday, striking towns near Gaza but causing no casualties.\nMeanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he would allow the opening of a \"humanitarian corridor\" to bring supplies to the besieged 1.5 million Gazans trapped by the conflict and called for all fighting to be suspended for three hours on a daily basis to allow residents to stock up on necessities. \"While we welcome the humanitarian corridor,\" says Gunness, the UNRWA spokesman, \"this cannot compromise the need for an immediate cease-fire.\"\n— With reporting by Jamil Hamad / Bethlehem\nSee pictures of heartbreak in the Middle East.\nRead about the battle in Gaza.", "url": "http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1870087,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090114094852/http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1870087,00.html" } ]

US president Barack Obama backs mosque near Ground Zero site
Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. US president Barack Obama has endorsed buiding a mosque and Islamic community center near the site of the attacks. US Barack Obama has endorsed permitting a mosque to be built a few blocks away from the site where terrorists intentionally crashed two planes into the World Trade Center towers in 2001, otherwise known as 'Ground Zero'. The site is located in New York City. Obama, who stated his endorsement at an annual dinner celebrating the Islamic holiday of , said, "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." Reaction to the presidential endorsement was mixed. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, a staunch supporter of building the Cordoba House Islamic Center, has said that Obama's comments were a "clarion defense of the freedom of religion." However, many Republicans were angry, including US Representative Peter King, Republican-New York, who said that "President Obama is wrong." Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer stated that "the governor of New York offered to help find land to build the mosque elsewhere. A mosque really seeking to build bridges ... would accept the offer."

The U.N. says two-thirds of the country’s 24 million people face regular food shortages.\nPak served as the North’s premier in 2003-2007, according to Seoul’s Unification Ministry.

Pak replaces Choe Yong Rim, who is 82.\n“Pak Pong Ju is the face of economic reform, such as it exists — reform with North Korean characteristics as they say,” said John Delury, a professor and North Korea analyst at Seoul’s Yonsei University.\nAny economic changes won’t be radical, Delury said, and, for the time being, they’re mostly aspirational. One possible change could entail a shift of part of the country’s massive military spending into the economy as a whole, he said.\nPak is widely known for spearheading reforms in 2002, when the government began allowing some markets, although it later backtracked, said Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea analyst at Seoul’s Dongguk University. His appointment could be a message to the outside world that North Korea wants to calm tension and focus more on economic revitalization, Koh said.\nPyongyang has reacted with anger to the U.S.-South Korean military drills and to a new round of U.N. and U.S. sanctions that followed its Feb. 12 underground nuclear test, the country’s third. Analysts see a full-scale North Korean attack as unlikely and say the threats are more likely efforts to provoke softer policies toward Pyongyang from a new government in Seoul, to win diplomatic talks with Washington and to solidify the young North Korean leader’s military credentials at home.\nDespite the rising hostility, recent rhetoric has focused on efforts to turn around a moribund economy and nuclear development.\n“There was a danger that this was getting to the point ... of a permanent war footing,” Delury said. “In the midst of this tension and militant rhetoric and posturing, Kim Jong Un is saying, ‘Look, we’re still focused on the economy, but we’re doing it with our nuclear deterrent intact.’”", "url": "http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/nkorea-parliament-to-meet-for-closely-watched-session-amid-festering-nuclear-tension/2013/04/01/8706fb06-9a88-11e2-9219-51eb8387e8f1_story.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130401180925/http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/nkorea-parliament-to-meet-for-closely-watched-session-amid-festering-nuclear-tension/2013/04/01/8706fb06-9a88-11e2-9219-51eb8387e8f1_story.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "S.Korea leader vows to strike back at North", "text": "S.Korea leader vows to strike back at North\nSEOUL — South Korea's new president on Monday promised a strong military response to any North Korean provocation after Pyongyang announced that the two countries were now in a state of war.\nPresident Park Geun-Hye's warning came as North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament formalised the country's status as a nuclear weapons state and appointed a sacked economic reformer for a fresh term as prime minister.\nIt also coincided with a US announcement that it had deployed stealth fighters to South Korea as part of an ongoing joint military exercise.\nAt a meeting with senior military officials and Defence Minister Kim Kwan-Jin, Park said she took the near-daily stream of bellicose threats emanating from the North over the past month \"very seriously\".\n\"I believe that we should make a strong and immediate retaliation without any other political considerations if (the North) stages any provocation against our people,\" she said.\nHer defence minister made it clear that the South would carry out pre-emptive strikes against the North's nuclear and missile facilities in the event of hostilities breaking out.\n\"We will... establish a so-called 'active deterrence' aimed at neutralising the North's nuclear and missile threats quickly,\" Kim said.\nThe Korean peninsula has been caught in a cycle of escalating tensions since the North's long-range rocket launch in December which its critics condemned as a ballistic missile test.\nUnited Nations sanctions were followed by a nuclear test in February, after which came more sanctions and apocalyptic threats from Pyongyang as South Korea and the United States conducted joint military drills.\nThose threats have run the gamut from warnings of limited artillery bombardments to pre-emptive nuclear strikes, and have been met with counter-warnings from Seoul and Washington of severe repercussions.\nThe White House said Monday that despite the North's threats, North Korea had yet to back up its words with mass troop mobilizations or troop movements.\n\"Despite the harsh rhetoric we're hearing from Pyongyang, we are not seeing changes to the North Korean military posture, such as large-scale mobilizations and positioning of forces,\" White House spokesman Jay Carney said.\nThe US military said Monday it had deployed F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to South Korea as part of the ongoing \"Foal Eagle\" military exercise.\n\"The F-22s are advanced fighter aircraft and they're an important display of our commitment to the South Korean alliance,\" Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters in Washington.\n\"The North Koreans have a choice.

Google-Manager in Italien wegen Gewaltvideo auf YouTube verurteilt
Zu sechs Monaten Haft auf Bewährung verurteilte ein italienisches Gericht drei Manager des Internet-Suchmaschinenbetreibers Google wegen der Veröffentlichung eines Gewaltvideos bei dem zu Google gehörenden Videoportal YouTube. Den Managern wird vorgeworfen, die Veröffentlichung des Videos, in dem ein autistischer Junge brutal misshandelt wird, nicht unterbunden zu haben. Das Gericht folgte der Staatsanwaltschaft in der Argumentation, das Unternehmen habe nicht für ausreichende Schutzmaßnahmen gesorgt, um die Privatsphäre des Opfers zu schützen. Google war erst nach einer Aufforderung durch die italienische Polizei aktiv geworden und hatte schließlich im November 2008 das Video entfernt. Google argumentierte, seine Mitarbeiter hätten keine Verbindung zu den Produzenten des Videos gehabt. Der Suchmaschinenbetreiber kündigte Berufung gegen das Urteil an. Das Gericht verurteilte Googles Datenschutzbeauftragten Peter Fleischer, den Chefjustiziar David Drummond und George Reyes, ehemaliges Vorstandsmitglied von Google Italien. Ein weiterer Google-Mitarbeiter, Marketing-Manager Arving Desikan, wurde freigesprochen. Mit Hilfe von Google war es der Polizei möglich, die vier Jugendlichen, die das Video gedreht und ins Netz gestellt hatten, dingfest zu machen. Sie wurden von einem Gericht zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit verurteilt.

Ein italienisches Gericht hat nun drei ranghohe Mitarbeiter des Konzerns verurteilt.\nBild vergrößern Google kaufte YouTube im Jahre 2006 Foto: dpa\nWeil sie die Veröffentlichung eines Schlägervideos auf YouTube nicht verhindert haben, hat ein Gericht in Italien drei Google-Mitarbeiter zu sechs Monaten Haft auf Bewährung verurteilt.\nDie Staatsanwaltschaft machte geltend, die Aufnahmen hätten auf einer Liste der meistgesehenen Filme gestanden und daher bemerkt werden müssen. Richter Oscar Magi sprach die drei deswegen der Verletzung der Privatsphäre des autistischen Opfers schuldig. Vom Vorwurf der Beleidigung wurden sie freigesprochen, ein vierter Google-Vertreter wurde komplett freigesprochen.\nANZEIGE\nDas in Kalifornien ansässige Unternehmen betrachtete das Verfahren nach eigenen Angaben als Angriff auf die Freiheiten des Internets, weil es den Seitenbetreibern eine unmögliche Aufgabe aufbürden würde: Sie müssten jeden Tag den gesamten hochgeladenen Inhalt auf Seiten wie YouTube überprüfen.\nDiskussion über Umgang mit dem Netz\nDie Staatsanwaltschaft argumentierte dagegen, die Meinungsfreiheit müsse gegen die Rechte Einzelner abgewogen werden. Auf dem Video aus dem Jahr 2006 war zu sehen, wie Jugendliche in Turin einen autistischen Schüler misshandeln.\nBeobachtet wurde der Prozess in Mailand vor allem von Befürwortern des Internets als einer offenen und sich selbst regulierenden Plattform. Bislang können Nutzer bei YouTube Videos hochladen, ohne dass deren Inhalt kontrolliert wird. Anstößiges Material wird erst von Usern selbst gemeldet.\nIn der italienischen Politik gibt es bereits länger eine Diskussion über den Umgang mit dem Internet. Im vergangenen Jahr hatte ein christdemokratischer Senator ein Gesetz ins Gespräch gebracht, wonach italienische Internetanbieter innerhalb von 24 Stunden allen Nutzern im Land den Zugang zu Seiten wie Facebook sperren müssten, sollten dort kriminelle Aktivitäten verharmlost werden. Damals hatte eine Facebook-Gruppe dem Mafiapaten Bernardo Provenzano gehuldigt.\nVor einigen Tagen hatte sich die Kotroverse verschärft, als eine Facebook-Gruppe, in der Kinder mit Down-Syndrom verunglimpft wurden, etwa 1700 Mitglieder fand. Die Polizei ermittelt gegen den Gründer der Gruppe.\nWie schnell hat Google reagiert?\nDas Verfahren gegen die vier Google-Mitarbeiter fand in deren Abwesenheit und hinter verschlossenen Türen statt. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte für zwei von ihnen ein Jahr Gefängnis gefordert, für die beiden anderen sechs Monate Haft.\nAngestrengt wurde der Prozess von der Organisation Vivi Down, die sich für Menschen mit dem Down-Syndrom einsetzt.

Irakisches Parlament wählte neue Regierung
Nach monatelangem Ringen um einen Kompromiss zwischen den rivalisierenden religiösen Gruppierungen von Schiiten und Sunniten im Irak wurde am Samstag eine Kabinettsliste vom Parlament abgesegnet, die in ersten internationalen Reaktionen Hoffnungen auf einen Übergang zu demokratischen Verhältnissen im Irak weckte. Die Abstimmung, die per Handaufheben über jeden einzelnen Kandidaten erfolgte, stellt personell einen Kompromiss zwischen den verschiedenen politischen Kräften und religiösen Gruppen des Landes dar. Bis zuletzt konnte zwischen Sunniten und Schiiten keine Einigung über die Besetzung der wichtigen Ministerien der Verteidigung und des Inneren erzielt werden. Diese beiden Ministerien werden daher zunächst kommissarisch von Ministerpräsident Maliki geführt werden. Die übrigen Ministerien wurden von Schiiten, Kurden und Sunniten besetzt. Die Auseinandersetzung um die politische Entwicklung des künftigen Irak, die von häufig gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen begleitet worden war, hatte das Land immer wieder an den Rand eines Bürgerkrieges geführt. Auch der Tag der parlamentarischen Bestätigung des neuen Kabinetts war von Attentaten überschattet, denen 24 Menschen zum Opfer fielen. Es wird vermutet, dass sunnitische Rebellen für die Anschläge verantwortlich sind. Die von Präsident Talabani als „Regierung der nationalen Einheit“ bezeichnete Regierung unter dem Ministerpräsidenten Nuri al-Maliki (=Dschawad al Maliki) wird nach den Worten Malikis darauf hinarbeiten, die Aufgabe der Gewährleistung der Sicherheit im Irak auf irakische Kräfte zu übertragen, was ein Ende der „Aufgabe der multinationalen Streitkräfte“ bedeute. Die Bildung der neuen Regierung wurde von den USA und Großbritannien als positiver Schritt begrüßt. US-Präsident George W. Bush erklärte, die USA würden den Irak dabei unterstützen, seinen „Platz unter den Demokratien der Welt und als ein Verbündeter im Krieg gegen den Terror“ einzunehmen. Der erst seit drei Tagen im Amt befindliche italienische Außenminister Massimo D'Alema bezeichnet die Bestätigung der neuen irakischen Regierung durch das Parlament als eine „Quelle der Hoffnung für den Friedensprozess und für den Wiederaufbau und die Demokratisierung“. Die italienische Regierung hat erklärt, ihre im Irak stationierten 2.600 Soldaten bald abziehen zu wollen. Der britische Premierminister Tony Blair erklärte, sein Land hoffe, die Gewährleistung der Sicherheit im Irak so bald wie möglich an irakische Sicherheitsorgane übergeben zu können. An einen vorzeitigen Truppenabzug denke Großbritannien allerdings nicht.

Blair sprach vom «entscheidenden Augenblick» für die Zukunft des Iraks. Trotz aller Versuche, den politischen Prozess zu torpedieren, habe der Irak eine neue Regierung, sagte er vor Journalisten in London. Nun müsse sich diese durchsetzen und könne dabei auf Unterstützung zählen. Großbritannien hoffe, die Sicherung des Iraks so bald wie möglich an die Iraker übergeben zu können. Die britischen Truppen würden aber so lange im Irak bleiben, wie sie dort gebraucht würden. «Entscheidende Fragen rasch angehen» Auch UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan begrüßte die neue Regierung. Er habe die Hoffnung, dass der Aufbau der Regierungsmannschaft so rasch wie möglich abgeschlossen werden könne, «so dass die entscheidenden Fragen der nationalen Aussöhnung, der Sicherheit, der Rechtssaatlichkeit, der Achtung der Menschenrechte sowie des Wiederaufbaus und der Entwicklung rasch angegangen werden können». EU-Kommissarin Benita Ferrero-Waldner sagte, das neue Kabinett von Ministerpräsident Nuri al-Maliki müsse nun vor allem die tiefe Kluft innerhalb der irakischen Gesellschaft überwinden und der zerstörerischen Gewalt Herr werden. Sie sagte dem Irak die fortgesetzte Hilfe der 25 EU-Staaten zu. Der neue italienische Außenminister Massimo D'Alema sandte ein Gratulationsschreiben an seinen irakischen Kollegen Hoschjar Sebari. Er nannte das Einsetzen der neuen Regierung «eine Quelle der Hoffnung für den Friedensprozess und für den Wiederaufbau und die Demokratisierung». Italien will seine rund 2.600 Soldaten bald aus dem Irak abziehen; ein genauer Zeitplan steht noch nicht fest. Dutzende Tote durch Anschläge Die Bildung der ersten verfassungsgemäßen Regierung im Irak seit dem Sturz von Saddam Hussein vor drei Jahren war von Gewalt und Terror begleitet worden. Am Morgen starben mindestens 19 Menschen bei einer Bombenexplosion in Bagdad. Die irakische Polizei meldete zudem den Fund von 19 Toten, die offenbar gefoltert worden waren. Am Nachmittag starben acht Polizisten bei einem Anschlag. Das irakische Parlament sprach der Regierung des designierten Ministerpräsidenten Nuri al-Maliki das Vertrauen aus. Die so genannte Regierung der Nationalen Einheit ist jedoch bislang noch unvollständig: Die wegen der dramatischen Sicherheitslage besonders wichtigen Ressorts Inneres und Verteidigung blieben noch unbesetzt. Die Schlüsselressorts Inneres und Verteidigung würden zunächst übergangsweise von ihm und einem Stellvertreter geführt, sagte al- Maliki nach der Bestätigung seines Kabinetts. «Von bösen Kräften reinigen» Staatspräsident Dschalal Talabani sagte, diese Regierung der nationalen Einheit unter Einschluss von Schiiten, Kurden und Sunniten werde gemeinsam mit den Verbündeten «den Irak von seinen bösen Kräften reinigen». Die US-Regierung hofft, dass die breite Basis der Regierung den Aufständischen den Boden entzieht, und sie die Zahl der amerikanischen Soldaten im Irak reduzieren kann. Al Maliki erklärte, er wolle einen Zeitplan für die Übergabe der Sicherheitsaufgaben auf die Iraker erarbeiten, was die «Aufgabe der multinationalen Streitkräfte» beenden würde. Steinmeier vielleicht bald auf Besuch Bundesaußenminister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) wird möglicherweise als erstes deutsches Regierungsmitglied nach dem Ende des Krieges den Irak besuchen. «Die EU-Troika wird nach Bagdad reisen, wenn die Sicherheitslage es zulässt,» sagte der SPD-Politiker dem «Tagesspiegel am Sonntag».

Frederico Lombardi zum neuen Leiter des vatikanischen Pressebüros ernannt
Am 11. Juli verkündete der Vatikan den Rücktritt seines bisherigen Pressesprechers Joaquín Navarro-Valls. Als Nachfolger wurde der Generaldirektor von Radio Vatikan, Padre Federico Lombardi, benannt. Joaquín Navarro-Valls, ein Mitglied des Opus Dei, wurde von Papst Johannes Paul II. im November 1984 als Pressesprecher in den Vatikan gerufen. Vor seinem Ruf hatte der Spanier bereits viele Jahre als Auslandskorrespondent für die spanischen Zeitungen ABC und Nuestro Tiempo gearbeitet. Navarro-Valls, der Medizin, Psychiatrie und Journalismus studiert hat, war von 1974 bis 1977 auch als Sprecher des Opus Dei tätig. Bei dem polnischen Kardinal Karol Józef Wojtyła, dem späteren Papst, beschwerte er sich einmal über die „Geheimniskrämerei“ des Vatikans. Navarro-Valls begleitete den polnischen Papst auf all seinen Reisen. Nach dem Tod des früheren „Chefs“ bat er seinen Nachfolger mehrfach um die Erlaubnis seines Rücktrittes, die ihm nun gewährt wurde. Sein Nachfolger ist der Jesuit Padre Federico Lombardi, Generaldirektor des Senders „Radio Vatikan“ und Direktor des vatikanischen Fernsehzentrums „Centro Televisivo Vaticana“ (CTV). Der 63-Jährige sammelte bereits als stellvertretender Chefredakteur der Jesuitenzeitung „Civilta cattolica“ erste Erfahrungen. 1991 wurde er Programmdirektor von Radio Vatikan und 2005 dessen Generaldirektor. 2001 übernahm er zusätzlich das Amt des Direktors von CTV. Diese Ämter wird er auch weiterhin bekleiden. In einem Brief würdigte Lombardi die Arbeit seines Vorgängers und dankte dem Papst für seine Ernennung.

New Kygryz parliament backs Bakiyev, lower house of former parliament steps down
Bishkek, capital of KyrgyzstanThe newly elected and protested Kyrgyz parliament today voted to back opposition leader Kurmanbek Bakiyev as prime minister, as the reconvening former parliament had done days before. The lower house of the former parliament also formally stepped down, although the upper house has not done so yet. Deposed president Askar Akayev issued a statement from Russia in response, accusing the new leaders of disgracing the country and ruining the economy. In response to the endorsement, Bakiyev issued a statement acknowledging the newly elected parliament as the legitimate one. "I can be reproached for saying earlier that the February and March polls were not legitimate. I said so. But in this parliament we have questions to only 15 to 20 constituencies, no one is saying that all deputies have to go," Bakiyev explained. Speaker of the outgoing lower chamber of the former parliament, Ishenbai Kadyrbekov, said that the decision was "a political, not a legislative decision, made for the sake of stabilizing the situation. ...If needed, the Legislative Assembly may convene again." Despite the situation, Omurbek Tekebayev, newly elected speaker of the new parliament, told Kyrgyz television that Akayev was still legally the president of the country and should return, if only to complete a formal resignation. "New presidential elections can only be called after talks with Akayev, otherwise it will be another anticonstitutional move," he said. Opposition leaders have offered Akayev immunity and said that he would not be impeached or otherwise prosecuted if he returned to the country.

Mr. Kulov, former vice president and police chief, now controls all of Kyrgyzstan's security forces and was sprung from jail only last week.\nAlthough it appears that the political tension is easing, a raw power struggle may be shaping up between Kulov and Bakiyev, who are separated more by personality than ideology.\n\"The main danger now is that extremely ambitious politicians with a low level of political literacy are fighting for power,\" says Mr. Imanaliyev.\nKulov's strength lies in his native north Kyrgyzstan while Bakiyev hails from the south, and a battle between the two threatens to widen that fragile faultline.\nIt was allegations of vote-rigging and coercion in elections for the new parliament that triggered the revolt that culminated in the seizure of the Akayev's presidential palace and his departure.\nOmurbek Tekebayev, speaker of the new parliament, told Kyrgyz television that Akayev is still the legal president of Kyrgyzstan, and should return to the country if only to complete the paperwork of a formal resignation. \"New presidential elections can only be called after talks with Akayev, otherwise it will be another anticonstitutional move,\" he said.\nMr. Tekebayev warned that Kyrgyzstan, which is deeply divided between its more developed, Kyrgyz-populated, north and the impoverished and ethnically diverse south, could split up if the political crisis is not resolved. \"We need to halt the disintegration of authority which is threatening the integrity of the state,\" he said.\nThe new legislature, heavily stacked with Akayev supporters - including the president's son and daughter - is widely despised by opposition activists, several hundred of whom gathered outside the parliament Monday to protest.\n\"They have stolen the peoples' victory,\" says Alla Shabayeva, a protest organizer. \"This new government is turning out just like the old one. If they don't do what the people want, we will stage a second revolution.\"\nThe protesters were demanding a rerun of the elections - the same solution that ended Ukraine's similar crisis last December - as well as tough measures to take back the \"peoples' wealth\" allegedly stolen by the Akayev family during its kleptocratic 15-year rule. \"We want a parliament chosen honestly, without bribes and manipulation, to represent the peoples' will. Isn't that what we fought for?,\" said Saginbek Mambekov, a musician who says he was in the thick of the revolution.\nMr. Kulov was jailed five years ago on fraud charges that his supporters claim were trumped-up to remove him as a potential rival to the president. He was sprung from prison in last week's uprising, given temporary charge of law enforcement, and moved quickly to quell rioting and looting in the capital. \"Kulov has done a brilliant job for himself,\" says Stuart Kahn, Kyrgyzstan program director for Freedom House, a nonpartisan group partly funded by the US.\n\"He looks like the hero, he saved Bishkek from the looters,\" says Mr. Kahn.", "url": "http://abcnews.go.com/International/CSM/story?id=620638", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050409051437/http://abcnews.go.com/International/CSM/story?id=620638" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Kyrgyz political stand-off eases", "text": "The new prime minister wants presidential polls in June\nIn the four days since protests toppled President Askar Akayev, two rival parliaments - the outgoing assembly and the new - have vied for legitimacy.\nThe new assembly, elected after disputed voting, had already named Mr Bakiev as interim prime minister, but Monday's vote boosts his authority.\nThe outgoing body has suspended work.\nAnnouncing the decision, it said its principal concern was stability.

Überschwemmungen in Äthiopien fordern mehr als 100 Tote
Überschwemmungen haben in Äthiopien in der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag mehr als 100 Todesopfer gefordert. Die Fluten wurden durch heftige Regenfälle verursacht, die Dörfer in der Region Dire Dawa im Osten überflutet haben.

COVID-19: Polônia fecha várias minas de carvão diante de casos crescentes
A região de mineração da , na , é o epicentro da pandemia de COVID-19 no país. 60% dos novos casos de registrados no sábado vieram da única mina de Zofiowka gerenciada pela empresa JSW. Em um comunicado, a JSW disse que havia registrado 2.771 casos de COVID-19 em sua força de trabalho. Diante desse aumento de casos, a Polônia decidiu interromper a mineração de carvão a partir de 9 de junho. A medida dura três semanas e atinge 12 minas. Segundo a agência de notícias , três minas podem fechar definitivamente nos próximos meses, mas não especificou se essas fecharão nas três semanas. A COVID-19 teria antecipado esses fechamentos. O governo pode apresentar um plano de reestruturação para o setor. Um dos serviços que mais empregam pessoas, é também o principal fornecedor de energia no país, tanto para usinas a carvão quanto para aquecimento doméstico.

2007-02-10: Wiadomości24: Wikipedia do zamknięcia?
Dziś między innymi w serwisie Slashdot oraz na polskim portalu wiadomosci24.pl opublikowano informacje o tym, jakoby prezes Fundacji Wikimedia, Florence Devouard, mówiła o możliwości zamknięcia Wikipedii w przypadku braku pieniędzy na utrzymanie serwerów. Serwis powołuje się na wypowiedź z wystąpienia Florence Devouard podczas konferencji Lift07: Rzeczniczka prasowa Fundacji Wikimedia, Sandy Ordonez, utrzymuje: Reporterom Wikinews udało się dotrzeć do komentarzy autorki wypowiedzi. Z obliczeń Florence Devouard, wykonanych na podstawie wikimediafoundation.org wynika, iż mimo zebrania podczas ostatniej zbiórki 1 mln dolarów Fundacja potrzebować będzie ''przynajmniej dwóch milionów w najbliższych 6 miesiącach'': Nie jest więc wykluczone, iż już niedługo Fundacja Wikimedia ponownie będzie prosić w wsparcie internautów.

Raczej nie, ale faktem jest, że utrzymywana z dotacji internautów Fundacja Wikipedia ma problemy z pozyskaniem środków na utrzymanie serwerów.

Judges rule patrons may sue nude bars for lap-dance overcharges
A three-judge Texas Court of Appeals ruling will allow men who were overcharged at nudie clubs to sue for refunds and damages. The two plaintiffs, Paul Brian Meekey and Michael Fulmer, had their cases heard because they were charged more than a regular lap dance fee when they used a credit card, typically $25 for a $20 dance. "Texas law is pretty clear that you cannot charge someone extra for using a credit card," said Sandra Krider, an attorney for the patrons. "The fact that they are strip clubs shouldn't mean they get away with it." A lawyer for the businesses, Rick's Cabaret and the Men's Club, argued a case based on the type of employment the ladies agreed to perform. “Since the dancers are independent contractors and not employees of the club, the clubs are not the ones selling the dances," said attorney Albert Van Huff. But the men’s attorneys said the win could potentially become a class-action suit with many hundreds of men claiming their day in court. That could present a problem for other patrons who may not want their name and their use of a credit card at a nudie bar released in court transcripts. "They are going to want the (strip) clubs' credit card companies to give them the names of all the different people who have charged dances there," said Van Huff. The 14th Court of Appeals, a Texas court with headquarters in Houston, had reversed a ruling of a lower trial judge that this case should be heard before the state Finance Commission instead of in a judicial proceeding. The case was sent back to be tried again.

As I have said they are mere entertainers. There is nothing vulgar about dances. Dance is part of our culture and tradition.

Łodzianie pożegnali dworzec Łódź Fabryczna
Łodzianie żegnają Łódź Fabryczną Koncert zespołu Blowjoke "na pożegnanie" Łodzi Fabrycznej '''15 października 2011 (sobota) z dworca kolejowego Łódź Fabryczna odjechały ostatnie pociągi przed rozpoczynającą się czteroletnią inwestycją i budową nowego dworca kolejowego – 16 metrów pod ziemią.''' Na ostatni kurs z Łodzi Fabrycznej na Łódź Widzew zebrały się tłumy łodzian, w tym minister infrastruktury Cezary Grabarczyk. Rozbawieni pasażerowie przejechali kilka kilometrów z centrum Łodzi na dworzec Widzew ostatnim pociągiem do Koluszek (o godzinie 22:40), następnie wysiedli i poczekali na ostatni pociąg z Warszawy do Łodzi (ok. godziny 22:55), który zawiózł ich ponownie na Łódź Fabryczną. Pożegnalnie dworca kolejowego trwało także w niedzielę, 16 października 2011. Od godzin rannych do późnego popołudnia przez dworcowy budynek około 700 fotografów – zawodowców i amatorów – którzy w ramach Foto Dej mieli możliwość zrobienia zdjęć wewnątrz budynku dworca Łódź Fabryczna, także w miejscach niedostępnych wcześniej dla pasażerów takich jak biura, sejfy czy kasy biletowe z perspektywy "sprzedającego". Dodatkowo po peronach, torach i rozjazdach krążyli ludzie, którzy nie zarejestrowali się na zwiedzanie budynku, co i tak nie przeszkodziło im korzystać z pięknej pogody i robić masę zdjęć. Koło południa rozpoczęła się seria koncertów łódzkich muzyków, którzy za darmo postanowili umilić łodzianom zwiedzanie. Dworzec Łódź Fabryczna przechodzi pod opiekę inwestora, który w systemie "zaprojektuj i wybuduj" do 2015 roku ma zakończyć budowę nowego dworca kolejowego Łódź Fabryczna wraz z przyległym węzłem komunikacji publicznej. Do czasu zakończenia inwestycji pasażerów z Łodzi Fabrycznej obsługiwać będą dworce kolejowe Łódź Kaliska, Łódź Widzew i Łódź Chojny. Urząd Miasta Łodzi dla podróżnych przygotował specjalny serwis, na którym mogą oni sprawdzać postęp prac oraz aktualne zmiany w rozkładach jazdy zarówno pociągów jak i komunikacji miejskiej.

Nowego Centrum Łodzi. Według władz miasta, to jedna z największych inwestycji kolejowych w UE. Osiem torów i cztery perony dworcowe znajdą się 16,5 m pod ziemią, zaś 10,5 m nad nimi ma przebiegać sieć podziemnych ulic i część dworca autobusowego. Projekt przewiduje także w przyszłości powstanie dwóch tuneli - jednego dla ruchu dalekobieżnego, regionalnego i aglomeracyjnego oraz drugiego dla kolei dużych prędkości na trasie Warszawa - Łódź - Poznań/Wrocław. Tunel prowadzący na nowe perony rozpoczynać się będzie za obecną stacją Łódź Widzew.W związku z rozpoczęciem budowy nowego dworca zmianie od niedzieli ulega organizacja ruchu pociągów do i z Łodzi oraz przez miasto. Zmiany dotyczą m.in. najbardziej obleganej przez pasażerów \"Fabrycznej\" trasy Warszawa-Łódź. Według informacji PKP, pociągi kursujące na tej trasie w dni robocze w godzinach porannego szczytu będą odjeżdżały lub dojeżdżały na stację Łódź Kaliska, z postojami na stacjach Łódź Chojny i Łódź Widzew. W dni robocze poza godzinami porannego szczytu oraz w dni świąteczne i wolne od pracy, pociągi będą rozpoczynały lub kończyły kurs na stacji Łódź Widzew.

Neue Ausbrüche von Vogelgrippe in Asien
In China und Vietnam ist es zu erneuten größeren Ausbrüchen der Vogelgrippe mit dem Virus des Typs H5N1 gekommen. In Chinas Provinz Liaoning starben 9.000, in Vietnams Provinz Bac Giang 3.000 Hühner an dem Virus. Das wurde von offizieller Seite berichtet. Das H5N1-Virus hat bislang schon Millionen von Vögeln in ganz Asien getötet, und abermals Millionen Tiere wurden geschlachtet, um die Ausbreitung des Virus zu verhindern. Das H5N1-Virus befällt auch den Menschen. Seit der Entdeckung des Virus Ende 2003 sind mehr als 60 Personen an ihm gestorben, darunter mindestens 41 in Vietnam. Es kam am 26.10. bereits zum vierten Ausbruch in China innerhalb von drei Wochen, wie das chinesische Agrarministerium auf der Website der „World Organisation for Animal Health“ mitteilte. In der Umgebung des Dorfes Badaohao wurden vorsorglich 300.000 Tiere getötet. Frühere Ausbrüche traten in den Provinzen Hunan, Innere Mongolei und Anhui auf, wo aber keine Menschen mit dem Virus infiziert wurden. Trotz großer Anstrengungen Chinas, die Geflügelfarmen zu kontrollieren und viele Tiere zu impfen, kam es zu dem erneuten Ausbruch. Nicht nur Geflügel auf den großen Farmen ist betroffen, sondern auch Elstern und andere Wildvögel. In Vietnam wurden die Geflügelfarmen in den Gemeinden Yen Lu, Van Trung und Tang Tien, die alle in der Provinz Bac Giang liegen, unter Quarantäne gestellt. Das sagte die für die dortige Tiergesundheit zuständige Person. Fabio Friscia, der Gesandte der UN-Organisation für Lebensmittel und Landwirtschaft, befürchtet jedoch weitere Ausbrüche der Krankheit im Dezember und Januar. Auch in Japan, in Ibaraki, das nördlich von Tōkyō liegt, wurden 80 Hühner mit einem Vogelgrippevirus des Typs H5 infiziert. Ob es sich dabei um den für Menschen gefährlichen Stamm H5N1 handelt, ist zur Zeit noch unklar. Die Hühner wurden vor einiger Zeit mit dem Virus infiziert, was Antikörpertests bestätigten, überlebten jedoch. Zur genauen Identifizierung des Stamms wären weitere Tests erforderlich. Die bisherigen Fälle von Vogelgrippe in Japan wurden allerdings alle durch das für Menschen ungefährliche H5N2-Virus verursacht. Die Behörden haben vor, auf Grund der neu aufgetretenen Vogelgrippefälle 180.000 Hühner schlachten zu lassen.

Deutschland: Salafisten wollen Gratis-Koran verteilen
Koran In mehr als 30 deutschen Städten wollen radikalislamische Salafisten am Samstag Exemplare des Korans verschenken. Politiker äußerten sich besorgt. Hinter der Aktion sollen laut Verfassungsschutz der Hassprediger Ibrahim Abou-Nagie und dessen Netzwerk „Die wahre Religion“ stecken. Die Organisatoren haben angekündigt 25 Millionen deutschsprachige Koran-Ausgaben in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz kostenlos unter die Leute zu bringen. Die Aktion findet unter der Bezeichnung „Lies“ statt. Die Vorsitzende des Berliner Verfassungsschutzes, Claudia Schmid: „Ziel dieser Kampagne ist, Interessierte in Kontakt mit der salafistischen Szene zu bringen und sie im Sinne ihrer politisch-extremistischen Ideologie zu beeinflussen.“ Es gehe um Propaganda und die Rekrutierung von Anhängern. CSU-Innenexperte Hans-Peter Uhl hält die Salafisten für Verfassungsfeinde und spricht sich dafür aus, diese intensiver durch den Verfassungsschutz beobachten zu lassen. CDU-Innenexperte Wolfgang Bosbach: „Ich wünsche mir einen Zusammenschluss aller demokratischen Kräfte gegen Radikale“. Er forderte eine scharfe Verurteilung der Aktion und der Drohungen gegen Journalisten vor dem Islamgipfel, der am kommenden Donnerstag stattfindet. Dort solle das Thema ganz oben auf der Liste stehen. Der Vorsitzende des Islamrates, Ali Kizilkaya: „Es ist grundsätzlich erlaubt, religiöse Schriften und damit auch den Koran zu verteilen“. Die entstandene Debatte für die „Aktion Lies“ hält er für überzogen und panisch. Er wies darauf hin, dass die Mehrheit der über 4 Millionen in Deutschland lebenden Muslime ihren Glauben friedlich praktizieren. Rechtsextreme haben zu Protesten aufgerufen, dies konnte in sozialen Netzwerken festgestellt werden. Die Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau wies darauf hin, dass die Muslime erwarten, dass mit dem Koran respektvoll umgegangen wird. So sei es für die Religionsgemeinschaft undenkbar, dass ein solches Buch einfach am Boden abgelegt wird. Dies wird auch durch die Reaktionen der afghanischen Bevölkerung auf die aktuelle Koranverbrennung durch US-Soldaten deutlich. Der Koran ist ebenso wie die Bibel auch online verfügbar. »Linksammlung«

Obwohl es rechtlich schwierig sei, die Aktion zu unterbinden, sollten \"die örtlichen Behörden dennoch in jedem Einzelfall prüfen, ob sie eine Genehmigung erteilen müssen oder ob ein Verstoß gegen die öffentliche Sicherheit und Ordnung vorliegt\", sagte Bosbach der \"Passauer Neuen Presse\". Es gehe den Salafisten nicht nur um Werbung für die Glaubensüberzeugung, \"sondern um Werbung für eine radikale politische Ideologie, die mit der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung nicht vereinbar ist\".\nAnhänger der radikalislamischen Strömung des Salafismus wollen an diesem Wochenende bundesweit kostenlos Korane verteilen. Auf ihrer Internetseite kündigten sie für Samstag Stände in mehr als 30 deutschen Städten an.

Angeblich will er insgesamt 25 Millionen deutschsprachige Koran-Ausgaben in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz verschenken.\nSollte einer der Protagonisten als Hassprediger bekannt sein, müsse bei Drittstaatsangehörigen auch geprüft werden, ob eine Ausweisung möglich sei, sagte Bosbach: \"Salafistische Hassprediger sollten wir nicht dulden. Das wäre falsch verstandene Toleranz.\" Dass es bereits Drohungen gegen Journalisten gab, hält Bosbach für \"sehr bedenklich\".

Sobald es dabei aber zu strafbaren Handlungen komme, werde der Staat eingreifen: \"Klar ist: Jegliche Form von Gewalt - oder auch nur der Aufruf hierzu - ist durch die Religionsfreiheit nicht gedeckt, sondern kann und wird strafrechtliche Konsequenzen ebenso nach sich ziehen wie eine Abschiebung, ein Einreiseverbot oder das Verbot von Versammlungen\", sagte Hahn.\nCSU-Innenexperte Hans-Peter Uhl bezeichnete Salafisten in der \"Bild\"-Zeitung als \"gefährliche Extremisten und Verfassungsfeinde\".

Nur wenn jetzt dramatisch umgedacht wird, kann es gelingen, das Land in einem besseren Zustand als vor dem Einmarsch zu hinterlassen.\nEin Kommentar von Paul Schäfer\nDer Abzug aus Afghanistan ist in aller Munde: 2013, so erzählen es derzeit Regierungen ihrer kriegsüberdrüssigen Bevölkerung, soll das letzte Kapitel des Afghanistan-Abenteuers der NATO eingeläutet werden. Misst man dieses Versprechen an den sichtbaren Taten und an der Situation in Afghanistan, so wird schnell klar: Mit den bisher verfolgten Ansätzen wird das nicht klappen.\nFata Morgana eines militärischen Sieges\nDie Bundesregierung hat für einen Afghanistan-Abzug weder Plan noch Konzept. Von einer Umschichtung der bisher für Kriegführung ausgegebenen Gelder zugunsten wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung und Stärkung der Zivilgesellschaft ist weit und breit nichts zu sehen. Die vielbeschworene \"selbsttragende Sicherheit\" in Afghanistan sieht so aus, dass die NATO-Staaten mindestens bis 2024 militärisch eingebunden bleiben.\nDie Fata Morgana eines militärischen Sieges über die Taliban, die die NATO über zehn Jahre genarrt hat, wird nicht als Trugbild erkannt, sondern als zu verfolgendes Ziel an die afghanischen Sicherheitskräfte weitergegeben: Diese sollen zunächst auf 350.000 Mann aufgebläht und anschließend wieder auf 230.000 Mann reduziert werden. Abgesehen davon, dass die Kosten einer solchen Armee unmöglich von Afghanistan allein zu stemmen sind und das Geld jedenfalls an anderer Stelle dringender gebraucht würde: Es zeugt nicht von Klugheit und vorausschauendem Denken, 120.000 Männer erst militärisch auszubilden und dann in die Arbeitslosigkeit zu schicken.\nWofür das alles? Die Begründungen für den Krieg – Menschenrechte, Sicherheit, Mädchenschulen, Staatsaufbau, Demonstration von Einsatzfähigkeit – sind eine nach der anderen fallen gelassen worden. Jahre der nächtlichen Durchsuchungen, Drohnenangriffe und Übergriffe gegen die Zivilbevölkerung sowie aktuell die Koranverbrennung durch US-Soldaten und das Massaker an Zivilisten vom 11. März haben die Begeisterung vieler Afghanen für Kooperation mit den Truppensteller-Staaten drastisch abgekühlt.\nIn dem Land, das die internationale Stabilisierungstruppe (sic!) verlässt, herrschen desolate Zustände: Die Macht ist zwischen Kriegsherren aufgeteilt, von denen nicht wenige vor den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof gehören. Die Regierung ist korrupt, Menschenrechte werden allerorten missachtet, Folter ist in den Gefängnissen an der Tagesordnung, und ein aktueller Bericht von Human Rights Watch bescheinigt der aktuellen Regierung in puncto Frauenrechte kein bisschen Fortschritt gegenüber dem Steinzeit-Islamismus der Taliban-Regierung.\nMilitär ist die Wurzel des Problems\nWie konnte es dazu kommen? Der Fehler ist schnell benannt: Zu lange – bis heute – war die NATO der Meinung, Militär sei die Lösung der Probleme – dabei ist es die Wurzel. Während die Truppenzahl hochgefahren und immer durchschlagsfähigeres Kriegsgerät herangeschafft wurde, verkümmerten Initiativen zur Stärkung der Zivilgesellschaft. Weil Entwicklungshilfe nach militärtaktischen Aspekten verteilt wurde, kam sie nicht an, wo sie am dringendsten gebraucht worden wäre.\nWeil die afghanische Armee aufgebaut werden musste, kamen Demobilisierungsprogramme nicht vorwärts. Weil die NATO auf einen militärischen Sieg hoffte, versandeten die Verhandlungen mit der bewaffneten Opposition, und weil sie sich nicht von Dritten hineinreden lassen wollte, gibt es bis heute kein Sicherheitsabkommen mit den Anrainerstaaten.\nEs sind diese Versäumnisse, die jetzt mit höchster Energie angegangen werden müssen, wenn der Abzug zumindest des Großteils der ISAF-Truppen tatsächlich eine Chance für Afghanistan sein soll, und nicht einfach nur der Auftakt zu einer neuen Runde Bürgerkrieg.\n(Paul Schäfer, The European, N24)", "url": "http://www.n24.de/news/newsitem_7832244.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120413155602/http://www.n24.de/news/newsitem_7832244.html" } ]

Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik sentenced to four years in prison
Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik was sentenced to four years in prison and three years of supervised release on Thursday after pleading guilty to eight felony charges. Among these were tax fraud and lying to Bush administration officials during his unsuccessful nomination for US Secretary of Homeland Security in 2004. This sentence is contrary to a plea agreement made in November between Kerik's legal counsel and the prosecution. Per this accord, federal attorneys recommended a sentence of no longer than 33 months in prison, opposed to the 48 months that US District Judge Stephen Robinson (who was not bound to this agreement) chose to hand down instead. "I think it's fair to say that with great power comes great responsibility and great consequences," Judge Robinson said upon sentencing. "I think the damage caused by Mr. Kerik is in some ways immeasurable." "Today's sentencing of Bernard Kerik is one of the most powerful recent reminders that no one in this country is above the law," added US Attorney Preet Bharara. Kerik, who was accompanied by his wife and three children, briefly addressed the court: "I make no excuses. I take full responsibility for the grave mistakes I've made. Believe me when I say I have learned from this and I have become and will continue to become a better person." "I know I must be punished," he went on to say. "I only ask that you allow me to return to my wife and two little girls as soon as possible." According to the New York City Department of Corrections, Kerik is slated to begin serving his sentence on May 17. Although the prosecution made clear their desire for Kerik to be imprisoned immediately, Judge Robinson allowed him to surrender himself later in the day so that he would have sufficient time to "get his affairs in order." Kerik has been awaiting sentencing under house arrest at his home in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey since November when said plea agreement was reached. Kerik, a military veteran and undercover detective, was a trusted advisor to former US Attorney and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for whom he worked for as a bodyguard and a driver. Kerik later served as both corrections and police commissioner. His distinguished actions following the 2001 September 11th Attacks transformed him into a respected national figure. This earned him the praise of then-president George W. Bush, who in turn nominated him for the lead Homeland Security post. It was during the vetting process that Kerik's suspected ties to organized crime came out. This marked the beginning of his long fall from grace. Outside the courthouse, Kerik gave a statement to the media and general public before being driven home: "I'd like to apologize to the American people for the mistakes I have made and for which I have just accepted responsibility. As history is written, I can only hope that I will be judged for the 30 years of service I have given to this country and the City of New York. It has not and will not diminish my love for this country." Kerik's lawyer, when asked by The New York Times if they planned to appeal this sentence, simply replied, "No comment."

Kerik , a former New York police commissioner who rose to national prominence, was sentenced to four years in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to eight felony charges, including tax fraud and lying to White House officials.\nUnder the terms of a plea agreement, the prosecution and the defense recommended that Judge Stephen C. Robinson sentence Mr. Kerik to 27 to 33 months in prison. But the judge departed from the sentencing recommendations, giving Mr. Kerik a longer sentence because he said he had betrayed the public’s trust.\n“I think it’s fair to say that with great power comes great responsibility and great consequences,” Judge Robinson said. “I think the damage caused by Mr. Kerik is in some ways immeasurable.”\nFederal prosecutors had denounced Mr. Kerik, a former police detective who rose to the upper echelons of power, as a corrupt official who sought to trade his authority for lavish benefits. He pleaded guilty on the eve of his trial in November.\nWearing a pinstriped navy-blue suit, Mr. Kerik was thinner and clean-shaven — without the mustache he was long identified with — as he entered the courtroom in United States District Court here. He surveyed the gallery, packed with friends and supporters, embracing some, nodding to others.\nWhen Judge Robinson offered him a chance to speak before sentencing, Mr. Kerik rose from the defense table and spoke in a low and gravelly voice.\n“I make no excuses,” he said. “I take full responsibility for the grave mistakes I’ve made. Believe me when I say I have learned from this and I have become and will continue to become a better person. I know I must be punished. I only ask that you allow me to return to my wife and two little girls as soon as possible.”\nAs the judge delivered the sentence, Mr. Kerik sat impassively at the defense table, flanked by his lawyers. Behind him, his supporters — including Geraldo Rivera and Steven McDonald, a former New York City police officer who was paralyzed from the neck down in 1986 — sat silently.\nMr. Kerik will begin serving his sentence on May 17. Prosecutors had requested that Mr. Kerik be sent to prison immediately, but Judge Robinson allowed him to surrender later to get his affairs in order in light of the length of the sentence. Mr. Kerik has awaited sentencing under strict house arrest at his home in Franklin Lakes, N.J.\nThe sentence follows a fall from a rarefied perch where he wielded power with a signature mix of brash confidence and tough-guy charm.\nHe was a close ally of former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, whom he served as a bodyguard and driver. Mr. Giuliani then tapped him for a senior position in the Correction Department, and he went on to become the agency’s commissioner. As testament to his clout, Mr. Kerik had a jail named after him in downtown Manhattan. (The name has since been changed.)\nMr. Kerik later served as police commissioner, and his performance after the 9/11 attacks turned him into a national figure, earning him the respect of President George W. Bush, who nominated him to lead the Department of Homeland Security. That bid quickly collapsed in scandal, marking the beginning of the end of Mr. Kerik’s career.\nThe case against Mr. Kerik centered on charges that a New Jersey construction company, the Interstate Industrial Corporation, which was suspected of ties to organized crime, had paid for renovations at his home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. Prosecutors said company officials had hoped Mr. Kerik would help them obtain a city license.\nIn June 2006, Mr. Kerik pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court in the Bronx to two misdemeanors tied to the renovation of his apartment. He paid $221,000 in fines and penalties but avoided any jail time.\nIn the more recent federal case, Mr. Kerik pleaded guilty to two counts of tax fraud, one count of making a false statement on a loan application and five counts of making false statements to the federal government while being vetted for senior posts. Judge Robinson ordered him to pay restitution of $187,931 to the Internal Revenue Service.\nProsecutors had called for Judge Robinson to make an example out of Mr. Kerik, and to punish him for his “egotism and hubris.”\nDuring the hearing, Judge Robinson said he admired much about Mr. Kerik, particularly his leadership in the 9/11 aftermath. But, he said, “the fact that Mr. Kerik would use that event for personal gain and aggrandizement is a dark place in the soul for me.”\nMr. Kerik’s lawyer, Michael F. Bachner, asked the judge for leniency, citing his years of public service, and the dozens of letters of support written by family members, former colleagues in the Police Department and even strangers who said they admired Mr. Kerik’s bravery.\nWhen asked if Mr. Kerik intended to appeal the sentence, Mr. Bachner said, “No comment.”\nAfter the sentencing, Mr. Kerik paused outside the courthouse, where he read a statement before being driven off in a black sport utility vehicle.\n“I’d like to apologize to the American people for the mistakes I’ve made and for which I have just accepted responsibility,” he said. “As history is written, I can only hope that I will be judged for the 30 years of service I have given to this country and the city of New York.”", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/19/nyregion/19kerik.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100221213401/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/19/nyregion/19kerik.html" } ]

Secretário do Partido dos Trabalhadores se afasta do cargo
O secretário-geral nacional do Partido dos Trabalhadores, Sílvio Pereira, pediu para ser afastado do seu cargo no partido. Sílvio Pereira foi acusado pelo deputado brasileiro Roberto Jefferson e pelo ex-chefe dos Correios Maurício Marinho de supostamente comandar atividades irregulares no setor de Informática da Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos.

Bürgerkrieg in Syrien: Mittlerweile 100.000 Tote
Zerstörter Straßenzug in Homs im April 2012 Im Bürgerkrieg in Syrien sind nach Angaben syrischer Menschenrechtler von März 2011 bis Juni 2013 bereits mehr als 100.000 Menschen gestorben. Wie die regimekritische Organisation syrischer Menschenrechtsbeobachter in London mitteilte, sollen davon 36.000 Zivilisten sein, darunter etwa 3.300 Frauen und 5.144 Kinder. Auf der Seite der Rebellen fielen auch 2.500 ausländische Kämpfer und 2.000 Überläufer der Regierungstruppen. Das Schicksal von mehr als 10.000 Gefangenen der Regierung sowie von mehreren Hundert Soldaten in der Hand der Rebellen ist ungeklärt. Ähnliche Zahlen hatten die Vereinten Nationen (UNO) mitgeteilt. Nach Angaben der UNO von Ende April sollen in dem Konflikt bis dahin mindestens 93.000 Menschen gestorben sein, darunter 6.500 Kinder. Seit März 2011 tobt in Syrien ein Konflikt zwischen Rebellen und Staatschef Baschar al-Assad, der sich mittlerweile zu einem Bürgerkrieg entwickelt hat. Die Truppen von Präsident Assad werden dabei inzwischen von Hisbollah-Milizen aus dem Libanon unterstützt und stehen für die schiitische Richtung des Islam, während die Rebellen mehrheitlich sunnitisch geprägt sind und von Katar und Saudi-Arabien unterstützt werden. Die Verhandlungen der Russischen Föderation und der USA über Termin und Teilnehmer der geplanten Syrien-Friedenskonferenz waren erfolglos beendet worden, nachdem die Vertreter beider Staaten bei ihrem mehrstündigen Gespräch in Brunei keine Einigung erzielen konnten. Fest steht bis jetzt nur, dass eine Konferenz frühestens Ende August oder Anfang September abgehalten werden kann. Eine Einigung wurde aber bereits darüber erzielt, dass es unabhängig davon, wer militärisch die Oberhand in dem Konflikt gewinnt, eine Übergangsregierung geben soll.

HISTORIA: Spotkania Teatralne Bramat to festiwal teatralny organizowany we wrześniu od kilku lat. W tym roku po raz pierwszy odbędzie się w Srebrnej Górze gdzie ma od niedawna swoją siedzibę Ośrodek Teatralny Brama.\nPrzyjeżdżają uczestnicy z całej Polski. Pomysłodawcą i organizatorem jest Teatr Brama, a pierwsza impreza odbyła się w roku 1999. Pierwotnie miały to być spotkania służące dobrej zabawie i nauce teatru. Bardzo szybko wieści o niej rozeszły się po całej Polsce, i w następnym roku przyjechało już chętnie wiele grup alternatywnych. Od tego czasu, impreza robiona była z coraz większym rozmachem, wzbogacana m.in. o warsztaty, dyskusje, seminaria, koncerty. Przyjeżdżały również gwiazdy polskiej sceny i kina, oraz legendarne zespoły teatralne. 3-dniowe wydarzenia o charakterze kulturalnym, odbywające się w Srebrnej Górze. Spotkania Teatralne BRAMAT w Srebrnej Górze to projekt wciąż ewoluujący, konsekwentnie poszerzający i pogłębiający obszar oddziaływań. Efektem ośmioletniego letniego doświadczenia (projekt wcześniej był realizowany w gminie Goleniów, woj. zachodniopomorskie) jest impreza o charakterze ogólnopolskim mająca znaczenia dla rozwoju teatru alternatywnego.\nSpotkania Teatralne BRAMAT w Srebrnej Górze to okazja do przedstawienia lokalnej społeczności uznanych przedstawicieli teatru poszukującego z kraju i zagranicy (jednych z najbardziej reprezentatywnych dla młodej, europejskiej sceny teatrów nieinstytucjonalnych, zgłębiających tajniki sztuki aktorskiej metodami praktycznymi opartymi, na wzorcach – technikach tradycji teatralno-muzycznej Europy i Azji z dodatkową możliwością pogłębienia tego kontaktu poprzez udział w warsztatach, spotkaniach, prezentacjach ośrodków teatralnych, promocjach wydawnictw. Koncentracja na uznanych, legitymujących się znaczącymi dokonaniami teatrach poszukujących, posłuży zaznaczeniu ich mocnej pozycji na europejskim polu działań teatralnych. Ponadto gośćmi festiwalu będą przedstawiciele innych organizacji partnerskich Wnioskodawcy (działających w ramach zbudowanej przez Wnioskodawcę sieci współpracy – m.in. z Niemiec, Słowacji, Czech), co przyczyni się dalszej promocji zaproszonych zespołów w innych krajach europejskich (promocja polskiej sztuki teatralnej za granicą). Srebrna Góra - dawniej zwana \"Perłą Gór Sowich\" miejscowość turystyczna u wlotu do Kotliny Kłodzkiej. Jej początki i nazwa związane są z trwającym tutaj od XIV do XVI wieku wydobyciem rudy srebra. Powstają wtedy istniejące do dzisiaj sztolnie kopalniane z których najdłuższa ma około 500m długości.

On suspectait également qu’il y en ait un dans Ganymède, un autre satellite galiléen, notamment depuis la mission Galileo. Le comportement de ses aurores polaires étudiées avec Hubble semble bel et bien confirmer la présence d’un océan qui contiendrait plus d’eau que tous ceux de la Terre.\nLancer Stopper Fermer Ganymède : Hubble confirme l’existence d’un océan d'eau salée - 4 Photos <\n>\nPDF\nOn fête cette année les 25 ans de la mise en orbite du télescope spatial Hubble. On lui doit de nombreuses découvertes en astrophysique et en cosmologie, mais il nous permet aussi d’étudier les mystères du Système solaire. Il a par exemple, révélé l’existence de panaches d’eau montant de la surface d’Europe, l’une des lunes de Jupiter. Une équipe de géophysiciens de l’Université de Cologne a joué les planétologues avec Hubble. Elle vient d’annoncer dans une publication que des observations conduites à l’aide du télescope spatial confirmaient une conjecture remontant aux années 1970, laquelle a pris plus de poids suite aux mesures de la mission Galileo, au cours des années 1990 et jusqu'au début des années 2000.\nLa magnétosphère de Ganymède, de Galileo à Hubble\nLe magnétomètre équipant la sonde Galileo avait en effet permis de découvrir l’existence d’une magnétosphère propre à Ganymède, une autre des lunes de Jupiter. C’était la première fois que l’on observait un satellite générant sont propre champ magnétique à l’aide d’un effet dynamo actif. Ce n’est pas complètement surprenant étant donné qu’avec une taille supérieure à Pluton, et même Mercure, Ganymède est le plus gros satellite naturel du Système solaire et devait forcément s’être différentié, à l’instar de la Terre. Elle devait donc posséder un noyau contenant du fer et du nickel susceptible de produire un analogue de la géodynamo terrestre. Les caractéristiques de ce champ magnétique ouvrant une fenêtre sur l’intérieur de cette lune, les planétologues avaient pu inférer des données de Galileo qu’un océan d’eau liquide salée devait exister à l’intérieur de la planète. Mais l’hypothèse restait controversée.\nL’équipe de chercheurs de l’Université de Cologne a eu une brillante idée pour tenter de trancher le débat : utiliser les observations d’Hubble concernant la position des ovales auroraux de Ganymède. Le phénomène des aurores polaires n’est pas limité qu’à la Terre. On en observe de spectaculaires sur Saturne et Jupiter, mais aussi aux pôles de Ganymède. Elles résultent aussi bien de l’existence de la magnétosphère de la lune que de celle de Jupiter dans laquelle elle est plongée. Du fait des mouvements de Ganymède dans la magnétosphère de la géante gazeuse, les ovales auroraux encerclant le satellite devraient osciller avec une amplitude de 6°, comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous. Mais s’il existe un océan salé important dans les profondeurs de Ganymède, tout change.\nUn océan salé de 100 km de profondeur, conducteur d’électricité\nEn effet, dans le référentiel de Ganymède, le champ magnétique de Jupiter est variable au fur et à mesure qu’elle parcourt son orbite. Dans un milieu conducteur comme l’est l’eau liquide salée, l’induction va produire des champs électriques qui a leur tour vont générer des champs magnétiques. C’est d’ailleurs ce phénomène qui permettait d’expliquer les anomalies du champ magnétique de Ganymède détectées par Galileo. Mais en l’occurrence, le champ magnétique généré peut aussi diminuer les amplitudes des oscillations des ovales auroraux. Ces ovales et leurs positions sont bien visibles dans l’ultraviolet pour les instruments d’Hubble alors qu’ils ne le sont pas sur Terre du fait de l’atmosphère.\nEn mesurant les oscillations des ovales auroraux, les chercheurs ont établi qu’elles n’étaient que de 2° au lieu des 6° attendus. Il s’agit d’un argument fort pour affirmer l’existence d’un océan à l’intérieur de Ganymède. Il serait pris en sandwich entre une croûte superficielle épaisse de 150 km constituée principalement de glace et un manteau supérieur formé de glace enrobant un manteau inférieur silicaté qui entoure lui-même le noyau ferreux de Ganymède. Les mesures du télescope spatial permettent aussi d’inférer la profondeur de l’océan d’eau liquide, laquelle serait de 100 km. Cette quantité d’eau est supérieure à celle des océans terrestres. Inutile de dire qu’une telle découverte a de quoi exciter les exobiologistes, surtout lorsque l’on sait que la mission Juice de l’Esa est en préparation.", "url": "http://www.futura-sciences.com/magazines/espace/infos/actu/d/systeme-solaire-ganymede-hubble-confirme-existence-ocean-eau-salee-57485/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150317001846/http://www.futura-sciences.com/magazines/espace/infos/actu/d/systeme-solaire-ganymede-hubble-confirme-existence-ocean-eau-salee-57485/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Hubble observations reveal ocean on Ganymede", "text": "Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have found the best evidence yet of a salty ocean of liquid water lurking beneath the surface of Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede, ripening the icy world’s allure as mission planners design probes for more detailed exploration.\nLong thought to possess an underground ocean, Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and measures bigger than Mercury.\nResearchers studied the oscillation of auroral belts near Ganymede’s north and south poles with Hubble to conclude a substantial reservoir of liquid water must exist beneath the moon’s icy crust\n“Our new HST observations provide the best evidence to date for the existence of an ocean on Ganymede,” said Joachim Saur, professor of geophysics at the University of Cologne in Germany.\nGanymede is the only only moon in the solar system with its own magnetic field, triggering belts of polar aurorae similar to the northern and southern lights on Earth.\n“If someone could be standing on Ganymede looking up into the night sky, it would appear as red aurora to you, and it would be visible even with the naked eye,” Saur said Thursday in a teleconference with reporters.\nThe magnetic field of Ganymede also interacts with Jupiter’s powerful magnetism, causing the belts to shift in latitude. Saur’s science team won prized observing time with Hubble to measure how much the auroral belts oscillate over time.\n“This is a really great example of using a remote sensing technique — using a telescope in orbit around the Earth — to study a moon that’s in orbit around Jupiter and yet be able to make inferences about the interior of that moon just by looking at it from the outside,” said Heidi Hammel, executive vice president of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. “We aren’t at Jupiter. Hubble is at the Earth, and yet it can probe the internal structure of this moon remotely. That’s a really powerful tool.”\nIt turns out the volume of water persisting beneath Ganymede’s surface has an influence on the aurorae, counteracting the tug from Jupiter that would cause the belts to “rock” up to 6 degrees back and forth ever 10 hours.\n“However, when there is a salty, and thus electrically-conducting ocean present, this ocean counterbalances Jupiter’s magnetic field influence and reduces the rocking of the aurora to only 2 degrees,” Saur said.\n“We used HST (and) looked at Ganymede for more than five hours, and monitored the aurorae and saw that the aurorae barely moved during that five hours — only rocking by 2 degrees — exactly like (we) predicted when there is an ocean present,” Saur said. “This confirms the existence of an ocean and simultaneously it rules out the absence of an ocean.”\nScientists believe Ganymede’s buried ocean has more water than all the water on Earth’s surface, perhaps measuring as much as 60 miles thick underneath a 95-mile crust of mostly ice, according to a NASA press release.\n“This discovery marks a significant milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA’s science mission directorate. “In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy crust of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.”\nAccording to Saur, the team based in Cologne used Hubble on two occasions in 2010 and 2011 to monitor the movement of aurorae in ultraviolet light, simultaneously observing Ganymede’s northern and southern belts.\n“We have four independent measurements, and all four measurements show that the aurorae in all these cases moved by 2 degrees only, and this gives us confidence in the measurement,” Saur said.\nNASA will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hubble’s launch in April, and officials are confident the storied observatory will continue operating into the 2020s after repairs by astronauts on a series of space shuttle missions, most recently in 2009.\n“Hubble is the only observatory right now that can do these kind of observations in ultraviolet light, and be able to precisely resolve and disinctly detect these features on Ganymede,” said Jennifer Wiseman, NASA Hubble senior project scientist.\nNASA’s Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003, flying by the giant planet’s moons to snap photos, study their geology and measure their composition. Galileo conducted six flybys of Ganymede, finding evidence that part of the moon’s surface had been flooded from water eruptions through ice volcanoes.\n“Based on the geology, we believe there was a time when the ocean may have communicated with the surface in the distant past,” said Jim Green, director of NASA’s planetary science division.\n“Since the 1970s, there was speculation and models that Ganymede could possess an ocean,” Saur said. “However, there was only one (piece of) observational evidence, and that comes from the Galileo orbiter. Galileo had six close flybys of Ganymede, but these flybys lasted only 20 minutes each. That’s too short to resolve the effects of the ocean without ambiguity … The new trick with the Hubble observation is that we have seven hours of data, and then we do not have this ambigity any more.”\nThe European Space Agency plans to launch a probe to Jupiter in June 2022 for the in-depth study of Ganymede yet.\nArriving at the gas giant in January 2030, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer will zip past Jupiter’s moons Europa and Callisto, each believed to contain subterranean oceans, multiple times before settling into orbit around Ganymede for nearly 10 months.\nNASA is working on a separate mission for launch in the 2020s to focus on Europa, and the space agencies could partner to build instruments and secondary payloads to accompany each spacecraft on the journey.\nESA’s JUICE mission and NASA’s Europa flyby probe — successors to the Galileo orbiter — could be flying through the Jupiter system at the same time in the 2030s.\n“When the JUICE mission ultimately goes into orbit around Ganymede, it will have a very, very rich and exciting science mission,” Hammel said.\nFollow Stephen Clark on Twitter: @StephenClark1.", "url": "http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/03/13/hubble-observations-reveal-ocean-on-ganymede/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150313220023/http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/03/13/hubble-observations-reveal-ocean-on-ganymede/" } ]

Najibullah Zazi pleads guilty in plot to bomb New York subway
Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan immigrant, pleaded guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiring to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support for a terrorist organisation, on Monday in United States District Court in Brooklyn, New York. He was a part of the plot to detonate explosives in New York's subway system in late 2009. He admitted participation in a suicide attack conspiracy led by the Al-Qaeda. According to him, this was in protest of US presence in Afghanistan. He will be sentenced on June 25 and faces a possible life term without parole. Zazi said in court he was recruited by Al-Qaida in Peshawar, while on a visit to join anti-American insurgency in 2008 and went into a training camp in Waziristan. He refused to identify his trainers and recruiters. Zazi had decided "I would sacrifice myself to bring attention to what the U.S. military was doing to civilians in Afghanistan." He admitted receiving weapons training at the camp and knowledge about explosives. He tried to build homemade explosives using cosmetic products. Zazi then went to New York just before the eighth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. He planned to assemble the bombs there and detonate them in the following days. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said at a news conference that the Zazi case represented one of the most serious threats to the United States since the 9/11 attacks. "Were it not for the combined efforts of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, it could have been devastating," he said. "This attempted attack on our homeland was real, it was in motion and it would have been deadly." Zazi, who was born in Afghanistan, raised in Pakistan and later attended high school in Queens, New York and lived in Colorado, had cooperated with the authorities in recent weeks and had worked out an agreement with them regarding his plea bargain.

His co-operation suggests prosecutors hope to expand the case and bring charges against other suspects in one of the most serious terrorism threats in the US since September 11 2001.\nZazi, 25, pleaded guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiring to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support for a terrorist organisation. He faces life in prison without parole when sentenced in June.\nThe bombings \"could have been devastating\", the US attorney general, Eric Holder, said in Washington: \"This attempted attack on our homeland was real, it was in motion, and it would have been deadly.\"\nZazi told the court he had travelled to Pakistan in 2008 to join the Taliban and fight against the US military but was recruited by al-Qaida in Peshawar and went into a training camp in Waziristan, a tribal region of Pakistan where the network is known to operate.\nZazi said he had received weapons training at the camp and learned about explosives. He also said he had been in contact with al-Qaida operatives while in Pakistan, but he did not identify them.\n\"During the training, al-Qaida leaders asked us to return to the United States and conduct martyrdom operation,\" he said. \"We agreed to this plan.\"\nThe Pakistani embassy in Washington declined to comment on the case.\nZazi admitted using notes taken at the training camp to build homemade explosives using beauty supplies purchased in the Denver suburbs and cooked up in a Colorado hotel room. He then drove the materials to New York just before the eighth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.\nHis plan was to assemble the bombs over the weekend and detonate them in the following days.\nWhile entering the city, he was stopped by police for a routine traffic violation. Suspicious officers allowed him to go free but kept a close watch on his movements.\n\"The plan was to conduct a martydom operation on the subway lines in Manhattan as soon as the material was ready,\" he said, adding that the attack involved a number of bombs.\nDays later, the authorities raided several apartments in Queens, including a friend's home where Zazi had stayed.\nAsked by federal judge Raymond Dearie if he had been willing to be a suicide bomber, Zazi said, \"Yes, your honour\".\nSome time after the routine traffic stop, Zazi realised the New York authorities were investigating him. \"At that point, we threw away the detonator explosives and other materials,\" he said.\nOne of the people familiar with the investigation said Zazi told prosecutors he had made roughly 900gm (2lb) of a powerful and highly unstable explosive called triacetone triperoxide, or TATP.\nThe same explosive was used by the would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid in 2001 and the London bombers who killed 52 people in attacks on the city's transport system on 7 July 2005.\nOne of the people familiar with the New York case said Zazi decided to co-operate after being warned that his mother could face criminal immigration charges.

He also agreed to share information about confederates overseas. He faces a life prison sentence without parole at a\nsentencing in June.\nZazi's plea in a Brooklyn courtroom gave the Obama administration a new argument in its battle with Republican critics and predecessors over its handling of national-security threats.\nAttorney General Eric Holder said the deal demonstrated anew the ability of the U.S. court system to dispense justice to terrorists.\n\"In this case, as it has in so many other cases, the criminal justice system has proved to be an invaluable weapon for disrupting plots and incapacitating terrorists, one that works in concert with the intelligence community and our military,\" Holder said at a news conference.\nGetting Zazi to talk\nLaw enforcement sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation continues, said Zazi began to accelerate his cooperation after authorities charged his Afghan-born father, also of Aurora, with crimes and threatened to charge his mother with immigration offenses — options that are not available in the military justice system.\nFederal prosecutors kept their plea agreement with Zazi under seal, but new details about the path that led the Aurora man into terrorism emerged in court.\nZazi, an Afghan immigrant residing legally in the U.S., traveled to an al-Qaeda stronghold in Pakistan in August 2008 to receive weapons training so he could fight alongside the Taliban, according to Justice Department and FBI officials. But jihadists redirected him and two confederates to focus their energies on a suicide attack on the U.S. mainland.\nZazi returned to Colorado in January 2009 with notes on how to mix explosive chemicals. He procured large volumes of beauty supplies from stores in the Denver area, supplies that contained hydrogen peroxide to make TATP, the explosive involved in the 2005 bombings of London's transit system, authorities said. The final stages of the plot came into focus in September, Holder said, when Zazi drove a rented car to New York, days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.\nAsked by federal Judge Raymond J. Dearie whether he had been willing to be a suicide bomber, Zazi said, \"Yes, your honor.\"\nZazi aroused the interest of law enforcement, and he was tracked by teams of FBI agents and police, who stopped his vehicle on a bridge into Manhattan. Justice Department officials said for the first time Monday that Zazi and others had timed their plot to occur in the subway on Sept. 14, 15 or 16 but backed away after realizing that they were under surveillance and disposed of the explosives.\nFBI Deputy Director John Pistole told reporters that the Zazi case and intelligence provided by the defendant have \"given us all greater insight into the evolving nature of terrorist activities.\"\nOthers charged in the terror case include Zazi's father, Mohammed Wali Zazi, who was accused this month of trying to get rid of chemicals and other evidence. He has been released on $50,000 bond and allowed to return to Colorado.\nBy contrast, bond for a Queens imam charged with lying to the FBI about phone contact with Zazi when Zazi was in New York was set at $1.5 million. A friend of Zazi's, New York cabdriver Zarein Ahmed zay, was jailed without bail on a similar lying charge.\nOfficials earlier confirmed reports that Zazi's uncle had been arraigned on a felony count in secret — a sign that he also could be cooperating.\n\"Plea speaks for itself\"\nAfter Monday's hearing, Najibullah Zazi's attorney, William Stampur, would say only: \"The plea speaks for itself.\" The written plea agreement is sealed.\nArthur Folsom, Zazi's Colorado attorney, said he was not surprised his former client pleaded guilty.\n\"That's kind of where it was heading from the first minute I started working on it,\" Folsom said. \"My former client from the very beginning was willing to talk to them and tell them what he had done and what his involvement was.\"\nZazi, however, had told his attorney he had gotten rid of all of the explosives by the time he had traveled to New York. In court Monday, Zazi said he had brought the bomb-making materials with him.\nFolsom said he had been under the assumption Zazi had given up his plans and was being prosecuted for something he was never intending to do. But upon hearing Zazi's plea, Folsom has a different view.\n\"If that's true, then it certainly changes my opinion of things,\" he said. \"There is a big difference in my mind about someone who thinks about doing something wrong and doesn't do it, and someone who thinks about doing something and doesn't do it because they get caught. That is a world of difference.\"\nDenver Post staff writer Jeremy P.

He characterized the plot as a “martyrdom operation” that he was just days away from executing when he said he realized he was under government surveillance.\nMr. Zazi, 25, pleaded guilty in United States District Court in Brooklyn to charges that included conspiracies to use weapons of mass destruction and to commit murder in a foreign country, and to provide material support for a terrorist organization.

When he spoke, he did so in an unapologetic, matter-of-fact manner, explaining that he was driven to terrorism by his concerns about the United States’ actions in Afghanistan.\nIn recent weeks, Mr. Zazi — who was born in Afghanistan, raised in Pakistan and later attended high school in Queens — had begun providing information to prosecutors as part of the initial stages of an agreement that led to his guilty plea on Monday, according to two people with knowledge of the case.\nThere have been a number of additional arrests in the case, including his father, his uncle and two of his classmates at Flushing High School. Mr. Zazi agreed to cooperate in part out of concern that a widening inquiry would result in more charges against his family members, including his mother, said one person involved in the case. The 10-page plea agreement was sealed by Judge Raymond J. Dearie, but the arrangement suggested that prosecutors believe Mr. Zazi can be a valuable source of information.\nOn its own, though, the guilty plea marks the successful prosecution of a terrorist in an advanced plot in which explosive materials similar to those used in the 2005 London subway and bus attacks were actually brought into New York. In some other terror cases, plotters appeared to lack the materials or knowledge to make good on their threats.\nMr. Holder said the Zazi case is an “ongoing investigation” despite the disruption of the subway plot. He declined to say whether other suspects were being sought in the investigation in the United States or abroad.\nMr. Zazi told the court that he decided to go with friends to Pakistan in August 2008 to join the Taliban in fighting the United States invasion of Afghanistan.\nWhile in Pakistan, he received training in making bombs, and was persuaded by Qaeda operatives to return to America to be a suicide bomber. They discussed possible targets, including the New York subway system.\n“I would sacrifice myself to bring attention to what the United States military was doing to civilians in Afghanistan by sacrificing my soul for the sake of saving other souls,” he said.\nAfter his return from Pakistan, he soon moved to Colorado, where he worked as an airport shuttle bus driver and began putting together the raw materials — including beauty products — for a bomb, working off notes he had e-mailed to himself while he was overseas. Mr. Zazi said he drove to New York on Sept. 10 with some explosives. He planned to set off the bombs in Manhattan subway lines as soon as they were ready, he said.\nWhen he suspected he was under surveillance — his vehicle had been stopped while he drove across the George Washington Bridge — he decided to abort the operation, dumping out some of his homemade explosives and flying back to Colorado, where he was arrested on Sept. 19.\nMayor Michael R. Bloomberg praised the law enforcement effort, saying, “This is not an amateur operation. It was a very serious plot against New York City.”\nIn Washington, Mr. Holder said that the Zazi case “is a demonstration of the facts. This is not some kind of partisan political attempt to shape something for the purposes of an election.” Asked about plans for a trial for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other men accused of plotting 9/11, he declined to say whether a new site has been chosen after New York officials objected to the cost and disruption the trial would cause in Lower Manhattan.\nHe said the Justice Department would consider the views of local leaders and residents at any prospective trial site, he said.\n“But in making that determination, people should keep in mind that we’re talking about doing things that we have done safely over the years — that is, trying people accused of terrorist crimes, ” Mr. Holder said.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/nyregion/23terror.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100225021053/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/nyregion/23terror.html" } ]

Suisse : la Suisse romande récompensée aux « Quartz 2011 »
Le ''Luzerner Konzerthaus am See'' où s'est déroulée la cérémonie. Les Romands ont été particulièrement récompensés lors de la cérémonie des « Quartz » 2011. La cérémonie des récompenses du cinéma suisse a en effet souri aux Vaudoises Stéphanie Chuat et Véronique Reymond dont le film '''' a été sacré meilleur film suisse de l'année. Jean-Stéphane Bron a pour sa part reçu le Quartz du meilleur documentaire pour ''''. ''La Petite Chambre'' a également remporté le prix du meilleur scénario. Ce film a déjà attiré près de spectateurs depuis sa sortie en salle de la mi-janvier. Il devrait de plus être proposé en Suisse allemande dès le 24 mars. Les deux réalisatrices se sont déclarées surprises et heureuses du succès de leur premier long métrage, tout en relevant que ce succès devait beaucoup à la performance des acteurs. Michel Bouquet et Florence Loiret Caille, les premiers rôles de ce film, ont été également cités. Jean-Stéphane Bron a reçu pour la seconde fois de sa carrière le Quartz du meilleur documentaire pour ''Cleveland contre Wall Street'', déjà primé à Soleure. Il l'avait remporté pour la première fois en 2004 pour ''''. Pour terminer la razzia romande, la Genevoise Isabelle Caillat a reçu le prix du meilleur rôle féminin et le Valaisan Anthony Vouardou celui du meilleur court métrage.

[ { "language": "fr", "title": "Bourrasque romande sur le cinéma suisse", "text": "Véronique Reymond et Stéphanie Chuat, stars de la soirée. (swissinfo.ch)\nPrix du meilleur film et du meilleur scénario pour «La petite chambre», du meilleur documentaire pour «Cleveland contre Wall Street». Lors de la cérémonie des «Quartz» 2011, les catégories-reines ont été squattées par les cinéastes francophones. Reportage.\nComment dit-on «Oscar» en langue suisse? «Quartz». C’est donc au jeu des récompenses que s’est livré le monde suisse du cinéma, des médias et de la politique, samedi soir à Lucerne, dans le prestigieux Palais des congrès conçu par l’architecte français Jean Nouvel.\nTapis rose (si si, rose), projecteurs et caméras en pagaille, tenue de soirée de rigueur. «C’est assez joli à regarder, mais c’est assez stressant de l’intérieur… on a l’impression d’être un peu déguisés», nous confie Véronique Reymond, l’une des réalisatrices de «La petite chambre», juste avant le début des festivités. «J’aime bien: en venant ici, j’avais l’impression de me préparer pour une pièce de théâtre!», ajoute sa complice Stéphanie Chuat.\nLa soirée-spectacle d’une heure trente va tenter de combiner à la fois les paillettes typiques de ce genre d’événements à une swiss touch dont les Helvètes germanophones sont si friands. Ainsi l’orchestre présent, le «21st Century Symphony Orchestra», animera-t-il la soirée à coups de relectures sophistiquées du répertoire traditionnel suisse. Un peu comme si une cérémonie des Césars était émaillée de couplets folkloriques berrichons, bretons et savoyards en version symphonique. Etonnant.\nUn premier film en forme de triomphe\nAvec ses deux récompenses (meilleur film et meilleur scénario), «La petite chambre» est le grand vainqueur de cette édition 2011 des Quartz. L’histoire de Reymond, interprété par Michel Bouquet, un vieillard au cœur fragile qui va se cogner à Rose (Florence Loiret Caille), une jeune femme ébranlée par la perte de l’enfant qu’elle portait. Il est acariâtre, et elle, têtue. Une rencontre à l’intensité croissante entre ces deux individus blessés par la vie et les liens du sang.\nLe film a remporté un très beau succès en Suisse romande, a bien démarré en France, et s’apprête à sortir en Suisse alémanique le 24 mars. Un double prix du cinéma suisse tombe donc au bon moment: «Cela peut lui donner une visibilité… puisque, si Michel Bouquet est très connu en Francophonie, il ne l’est pas en Suisse allemande. C’est une bonne mise en lumière, et pour nous, les réalisatrices, c’est une vraie reconnaissance de notre travail, de notre premier long-métrage», constate Stéphanie Chuat.\nRéaliser un tel doublé avec un premier long-métrage, le pari n’était effectivement pas gagné d’avance. N’y a t-il pas du même coup un risque de grosse pression pour le prochain? «C’est plutôt un gain en crédibilité, constate Véronique Reymond. Or il y a toujours une question de crédibilité pour l’obtention de fonds pour le financement d’un film».\nPas d’inquiétude pour Stéphanie Chuat: «Je ne pense pas que le succès du premier crée une telle pression que cela nous empêcherait de travailler sur le suivant. Véronique et moi, on est actives dans le domaine du théâtre depuis vingt ans. On a déjà fait beaucoup de choses de ce côté-là. Donc pour nous, cela s’inscrit plutôt dans une continuité artistique. On espère évidemment parvenir à faire un deuxième film… parce qu’on a adoré faire le premier !»\nEt la machine est d’ailleurs lancée… A côté d’un retour à la scène cet automne et d’un travail sur une série télévisée, un nouveau film est bel et bien en projet. On ne saura rien de plus, sinon son titre: «Où vont les rêves?» Avec Véronique Reymond et Stéphanie Chuat, ils vont manifestement très loin.\nDocu Star\nPrésent dans la salle, Ivo Kummer, le pas tout à fait ex-directeur des Journées cinématographiques de Soleure mais déjà chef de la section cinéma de l’Office fédéral de la Culture (OFC), est content du palmarès.\n«Oui, la plupart des films ont reçu quelque chose. Mais c’est surtout les Romands qui ont fait fort, ce dont je me réjouis, constate-t-il. Et en particulier ’La petite chambre’, avec ses deux prix. Pour moi, ce n’est pas une surprise. C’est un film authentique, une histoire qui touche, avec un très grand acteur qui joue brillamment le rôle principal. C’est un film qui suscite beaucoup d’émotion. Et en ce qui concerne le documentaire, c’est un beau travail de recherche, et un étonnant mélange avec la fiction. Et puis… c’était bien que ce sujet soit traité par un Suisse!»\nLes scandales bancaires seraient donc affaire de Suisse? Oui, mais pas que. Faut-il encore présenter «Cleveland contre Wall Street» de Jean-Stéphane Bron? Le film a fait du bruit en Suisse, en France (Prix du public à Paris Cinéma 2010, projection à Cannes). Un film qui joue à la fois du documentaire et de la fiction, puisqu’il est la chronique d’un procès qui ne s’est pas tenu… sinon pour le film. Celui que les habitants de Cleveland (USA) ont voulu faire à l’encontre de 21 banques qu’ils jugeaient responsables des saisies immobilières qui dévastèrent leur ville. Mais le vrai procès n’eut pas lieu. Et Bron eut l’idée de le faire se tenir néanmoins devant sa caméra, avec les vrais protagonistes…\nJean-Stéphane Bron avait déjà obtenu le Prix du cinéma suisse pour «Mais im Bundeshuus» en 2004. Il n’est pas blasé pour autant: son émotion et sa joie ne sont pas feintes. Surtout, il n’en revient pas d’avoir remporté le Prix face à des films qu’il respecte éminemment. «Aisheen» de Nicolas Wadimoff ou «Roman d’ados 2002-2008» de Béatrice Bakhti régataient dans la même catégorie… «Le cinéma documentaire suisse est d’un tel niveau, d’un tel engagement, d’une telle diversité, c’est évidemment extrêmement émouvant et je suis très honoré d’obtenir ce prix», s’enthousiasme-t-il.\nMais ce qui le bluffe encore plus, c’est le public: «Il y a vraiment un âge d’or du documentaire suisse depuis cinq ans. Et si vous me permettez de remercier quelqu’un, c’est le public suisse, qui va voir des documentaires au cinéma! C’est une situation exceptionnelle en Europe, peut-être dans le monde», constate-t-il.\nLes subprimes sont passées, le gros de la crise financière aussi. Momentanément en tout cas. Les banquiers ont retrouvé le chemin de leurs gigantesques bonus. N’y a-t-il pas quelque chose de frustrant pour Jean-Stéphane Bron à voir le retour à la normale de la finance lorsqu’on a fait un film aussi engagé que le sien? «Les films ne sont pas faits pour changer le monde, dit-il. Mais ils servent à quelque chose quand même. J’ai fait beaucoup de projections dans des lycées, des écoles. Maintenant le film sort aux USA. Cela ne change pas le monde, mais cela peut modifier des regards…»\nMais encore…\nParmi les autres prix remis, signalons encore celui de la «Meilleure interprétation féminine» à la Romande Isabelle Caillat, très émue, l'actrice principale dans le film «All That Remains». Et celui de la «Meilleure interprétation masculine», remis par… Marie-Thérèse Porchet, au Lucernois Scherwin Amini pour son rôle, fort et émouvant, dans le film «Stationspiraten».\nEt il ne serait pas juste de conclure cet article sans évoquer la prestation de la Ministre de l’économie, Doris Leuthard, dans une robe noire très glamour, citant Gérard Depardieu…\nNi l’humoriste Massimo Rocchi faisant une imitation improbable du personnage du… chameau dans «Lawrence d’Arabie», la musique de Maurice Jarre déroulant ses volutes symphoniques dans le vaste auditorium lucernois.

Centro Nacional Electoral de Ecuador recontará votos electorales en 17 provincias
El ente electoral ha declarado que hará un recuento de votos en distintas provincias del país, con el objetivo de revalidar los datos y resultados del proceso electoral que se llevó a cabo reciente en la nación, como también presuntas acusaciones de "fraude electoral". Este acuerdo llega después de que el candidato presentase ante el Tribunal Constitucional una demanda que exigía suspender el escrutinio de los votos que desarollaba el CNE, hasta que se hiciese nuevamente un recuento en las 24 provincias del país, que luego pidió solo se hiciese en 16. La presidenta del CNE, Diana Attamaint, acotó que: ''"Se revisará el 100 % de la votación en Guayas, incluidas las actas con novedades y se revisará el 50 % de la votación en 16 provincias. Es importante recalcar que es un proceso de revisión contable del paquete electoral"''. ===Puesto en marcha=== El CNE se ha movilizado de una vez dado el acuerdo para el recuento, e incluso habilitaron un instrumento de supervisión ciudadana del sistema informático, que contará con la supervisión de los delegados de cada provincia. Se hará el proceso en vivo y una vez culmine la auditoría, se emitirán los resultados oficiales.

Según el candidato, \"la trampa\" estaría en el sistema informático, por lo que ha solicitado un control del mismo.\n\"El fraude estaría consumándose; uno, a través de la alteración de los resultados físicos de las papeletas y las actas, y otro, al momento de ingresar y obtener los resultados en el sistema informático\", ha asegurado.\nREUNIÓN ENTRE LASSO Y PÉREZ\nHoras después de presentar la demanda, el candidato del Pachajutik acudió a la sede del CNE en Quito, la capital ecuatoriana, para reunirse con Lasso, a quien le ha hizo llegar estas reclamaciones en un encuentro en el que ambos coincidieron en señalar su antagonismo hacía el Gobierno de Rafael Correa, al que calificaron de \"totalitario\" y \"opresor\".\nEl encuentro había sido fijado cinco días antes, tras la amplia derrota de ambos frente al candidato correísta de Unión por la Esperanza (UNES), Andrés Arauz, quien espera a uno de los dos el próximo 11 de abril en la segunda vuelta, tras lograr más del 32 por ciento de los votos frente al 19,74 por ciento de Lasso y el 19,38 por ciento de Pérez, en el primer envite electoral.\n\"Por el bien de la democracia, la propuesta es que se suspenda el escrutinio hasta que se dé el recuento en las 24 provincias\", insistió Pérez a Lasso, a quien propuso \"construir una relación\" de cara a presentar un candidato con \"legitimidad, respaldo y autoridad moral, constitucional y legal para derrotar al correísmo\".\nPérez aventuró que reabrir el recuento en las 24 provincias podría incluso relegar a Arauz a la tercera plaza y ser ellos dos quienes pasen a la segunda vuelta, algo que conjeturó bajo la atenta mirada de los observadores de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA).\nPor su parte, Lasso no cerró la puerta a tal revisión, siempre y cuando se produzca \"dentro del marco de la ley\" y se presentó como \"el primer interesado en que prime la transparencia en el proceso electoral, porque por encima de los intereses personales está el bienestar de Ecuador\".\nEl encuentro también tuvo momentos más tensos, cuando Pérez señaló que si Lasso iba a segunda vuelta \"es muy difícil que gane al correísmo\", a lo que este respondió diciendo que \"he venido con la mano extendida, no para que me la deje en el aire, peor para que me la escupa. Eso no lo puedo aceptar\", informa 'El Universo'.\nFinalmente, el líder de Pachacutik pidió que el recuento no se hiciese en las 24 provincias del país, sino en 16.\nTras el anuncio del acuerdo, el secretario general de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) ha felicitado tanto a Pérez como a Lasso por \"haber tenido un diálogo constructivo y democrático\" y ha aplaudido al CNE por su \"apertura y transparencia para garantizar que la voluntad de los ecuatorianos y ecuatorianas expresada en las urnas sea respetada\".", "url": "https://listindiario.com/las-mundiales/2021/02/13/656815/el-consejo-nacional-electoral-de-ecuador-volvera-a-recontar-los-votos-en-17-provincias", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210213053628/https://listindiario.com/las-mundiales/2021/02/13/656815/el-consejo-nacional-electoral-de-ecuador-volvera-a-recontar-los-votos-en-17-provincias" } ]

Schlechte Stromversorgung in Indien bremst Elektroautos
3.000 Fahrzeuge hat die Firma Reva Electric Car Company bisher verkauft. Etwa die Hälfte davon wurden nach eigenen Angaben in Europa abgesetzt. In einem Interview mit dem Autoverkäufer Anand Mahesh, das der Journalist Raymond Thibodeaux für „Voice of America“ Anfang August führte, offenbarten sich jedoch Probleme beim Absatz, der bisher träge verlaufe. Ganz offensichtlich ist das Unternehmen mit den Verkäufen in Indien nicht zufrieden, auch wenn Mahesh von einem robusten Anstieg der Verkäufe in den vorigen Monaten sprach. Auch die Prognosen würden hoffnungsvoll stimmen. Ausführlich thematisiert in dem Interview wurden die Probleme. Diese seien aber nicht hausgemacht, sondern werden durch die Infrastruktur und die anderen äußeren Rahmenbedingungen verursacht. Teil des Problems, so heißt es in dem Bericht, sei die Stromversorgung in Indien. Diese sei von geplanten und auch ungeplanten Stromausfällen gekennzeichnet. Diskutiert wurde in dem Interview auch, ob Indien als Markt bereits reif für Elektroautos sei. Demnach reicht der Durchschnittsverdienst der Inder noch nicht aus, um sich ein Auto leisten zu können. Andererseits wachse die Wirtschaft in Indien schnell und auch der Ölpreis steigt. Ein weiterer Punkt macht der Firma Reva sorgen. Tata Motors, der größte indische Autobauer, hat angekündigt, im Jahr 2009 das Billigauto Tata Nano auch als Elektroauto auf den Markt zu bringen. In Europa wird das Modell unter dem Namen „G-Wiz i“ von der Firma GoinGreen in Middlesex verkauft. Nach Angaben dieses Unternehmens sollen die Fahrzeuge im vierten Quartal 2008 mit einer Lithium-Ionen-Batterie ausgestattet werden.

It is also the first and only Indian city to manufacture an electric car. The problem is, not many people are buying them. But industry analysts predict that situation is bound to change, especially with surging oil prices. Raymond Thibodeaux reports from Bangalore in southern India.\nAnand Mahesh is a salesman for the Reva Electric Car Company, the first and only electric carmaker in India. He enjoys taking his customers on test drives on the crowded streets of Bangalore.\nReporter: Let's go head and see what it sounds like to start.\nMahesh: It's on.\nReporter: It's on? It's very quiet.\nMahesh: Of course.\nReporter: We're going into traffic. Does the horn work pretty well?\nMahesh: Of course. Do you want to try it?\nThe horn is good and loud, an essential asset when driving in India.\nMahesh says one of the first things people notice during their test drive of a Reva is its rate of acceleration. It is surprisingly quick for such a small car. The next thing they notice is its dent-free body, unusual for cars in India. Mahesh happily demonstrates the car's dent-proof exterior punching it with his fist.\nThe Reva Electric Car Company, a Bangalore-based carmaker, has been manufacturing electric cars for seven years. Their latest models range in price from $8,000 to $12,000. They go about 80 kilometers on one charge, slightly less if one runs the air conditioner. They require very little maintenance, mainly because there is no engine.\nNo engine means no exhaust. That is what prompted many Indian states to offer huge tax incentives for those buying electric cars, especially in the bigger, smog-choked cities across the country.\n\"It is a very positive step, with pollution being what it is today and the concerns we have, with over 50 percent of our pollution coming from the transportation industry,\" said Chetan Maini, Reva's deputy chairman and chief technology officer. \"If we really want to change that, we have really got to change it using electric vehicles.\"\nSo far, Reva has sold about three-thousand electric cars. About half of those sales have been in Europe. Sales in India have been somewhat sluggish, even in forward-looking cities like Bangalore, one of India's key technology hubs.\nPart of the problem is that electricity here - as in much of India - is unreliable, with frequent scheduled and unscheduled blackouts.\nMaini says the Reva is designed for city driving, basically short distance trips like running errands or shopping. He says the Reva makes an ideal second car. That is a big problem in this fast-developing country of 1.1 billion people, most of whom make less than $2 a day. Most Indians still cannot afford their first car.\nBut Maini says that as India's economy thrives and fuel prices rise, more and more Indians are considering electric cars. In the past few months, he said Reva has seen a robust increase in sales.\n\"People take some time to understand new technologies, especially when you're the only player,\" he said. \"People are waiting to see how this industry matures. But I think the industry's changing and the market conditions are changing. It's slowly moved into that area where people are saying, 'Hmm, let me just consider an electric car.' And that already is very big step.\"\nFor now, Reva is gearing up for potentially stiff competition from Tata Motors, another Indian carmaker set to launch its first electric car next year. Tata made headlines earlier this year as it rolled out the world's cheapest car, the Nano, which, at a quarter of the price of the Reva is within the reach of India's growing middle class.\nSome car analysts speculate that Tata might figure out a way to mass-produce an electric car that, like the Nano, won't put too big a dent in one's wallet.\nThe Reva Electric Car Company, a Bangalore-based carmaker, has been manufacturing electric cars for seven years.

La résidence du président guinéen attaquée pendant la nuit
Situation de la , en Afrique de l'Ouest. La résidence du président de la , , a été la cible d'une attaque cette nuit, entre 3 h et 5 h 30 locales. Selon des habitants du quartier de Kipé, situé aux abords de et où se trouve cette résidence, des tirs à l'arme légère, lourde et automatique ont été entendus, et, d'après la radio d'État, la maison du président a été touchée par une roquette. Les murs ont été criblés de balles et la porte principale a volé en éclats. Alpha Condé était présent chez lui lors de l'attaque en compagnie d'autres personnes, mais il serait sain et sauf. L'agence Associated Press, qui cite également des témoins, parle de tirs qui auraient duré de 2 h du matin jusqu'aux premières lueurs de l'aube ; un habitant lui aurait fait part de tirs d'artillerie. D'après François Fall, ministre-secrétaire général de la présidence, un soldat de la garde présidentielle aurait été tué pendant l'attaque. Des tirs ont également été entendus aux alentours du camp Samori Touré, siège de l'état major général des armées et du ministère de la Défense. Selon les informations disponibles actuellement, il y aurait un mort et plusieurs blessés du côté présidentiel, tandis qu'aucun membre du commando n'aurait été tué ou arrêté. Le président s'est exprimé dans la matinée à la radio d'État et a appelé au et à la . Il a déclaré : , ainsi que : . Il a également rendu hommage aux soldats de la garde présidentielle qui , bien qu'en nombre réduit, jusqu'à l'arrivée de renforts vers 5 h, mettant en fuite les assaillants. Le quartier a été bloqué par des militaires et des gendarmes ; l'accès à la presqu'île du Kaloum, le quartier administratif et des affaires, a été interdit par des barrages de l'armée. Selon des témoins, les assaillants étaient des militaires. Si cela était avéré, cela montrerait qu'il pèse de lourdes menaces sur le programme d'Alpha Condé de réforme de la défense et de la sécurité. M Condé, en fonction depuis décembre 2010, est considéré comme le premier président démocratiquement élu de l'histoire de la Guinée. Plusieurs coups d'État militaires ont eu lieu depuis l'indépendance du pays en 1958, le dernier , à la mort du président . Le capitaine s'était alors proclamé président ; sa présidence d'un an a été marquée par le massacre par l'armée de près de 150 civils le 28 septembre 2009 et par la tentative d'assassinat qui l'a forcé à se retirer en janvier 2010. La présidence par intérim a ensuite été assurée par le général , qui a conduit la transition qui a mené à l'. Le 2 juillet dernier, le colonel Moussa Keita, ancien proche de Moussa Dadis Camara et secrétaire permanent du , la junte militaire au pouvoir de 2008 à 2010, a été arrêté. Il avait auparavant fait des déclarations à la presse sur la gestion de la transition menée par M. Konaté, affirmant notamment que ce dernier avait détourné 20 millions de dollars. Il serait actuellement détenu , selon la Coordination des organisations de défense des droits humains. On ne sait pas si ces faits ont un lien avec l'attaque de cette nuit, mais il semble en tout cas que certains au sein de l'armée ne soient pas prêts à cesser d'influer sur la vie politique.

A droite, certains réclament même la démission du ministre de l'Intérieur.\n\"Amateurisme\" et \"inertie\" : l'UMP est passée à l'attaque lundi soir après les incidents lors de la fête du PSG organisée au Trocadéro, à Paris. Cible des critiques : le préfet de police de Paris mais aussi et surtout le ministre de l'Intérieur, Manuel Valls, accusé de n'avoir pas su gérer l'événement. Claude Goasguen député-maire du XVIe arrondissement, où se déroulait le rassemblement, a même réclamé sa démission.\nClaude Goasguen : \"responsabilité totale\" de Valls\nLors du rassemblement organisé au Trocadéro pour accueillir les nouveaux champions de France de football, au lendemain du titre, \"la sécurité des personnes, des supporteurs, des joueurs et des journalistes n'a pas été assurée.

Crédit : RTL\nComme plusieurs autres responsables UMP, il a souligné que de premiers débordements survenus dimanche soir auraient dû entraîner la mise en place d'un plus gros dispositif de sécurité. \"Il n'était pas compliqué de prévoir dans l'après-midi que des bandes venaient pour casser\", a souligné l'élu du XVIe, fustigeant \"l'incapacité\" du ministre et la responsabilité tout aussi \"évidente\" du préfet de police de Paris.\nClaude Goasguen sera l'invité de Laurent Bazin ce mardi à 8h15.\nGeoffroy Didier : \"un ministre partisan\"\n\"Où était le préfet de police ?

Comment ne pas clamer mon amour du maillot après toutes ces années de galère footballistique, mais aussi de mépris de la société contre notre club et ses supporteurs soi-disant malfaisants ?\nC’est donc armé et écharpé de mon maillot rouge et bleu, au-dessus de mon costume-uniforme professionnel, que je me suis rendu lundi vers 18 heures place du Trocadéro pour exprimer, avec tant d’autres, ma ferveur et ma fierté pour cette équipe et cette joie de néo-champion.\nRER, puis métro : l’affluence grandissait, la joie montait, les chants s’entonnaient. Par vague, nous arrivions, tous joyeux, sur cette place. Mais dès l’arrivée, un sentiment particulier m’habitait. Pourquoi les policiers et CRS mobilisés barricadaient les avenues Kléber, Alma-Marceau… et désertaient le lieu même du rassemblement ?\nPourquoi cette place était-elle laissée à l’abandon par les forces de l’ordre, seulement présentes, par anticipation semble-t-il, pour protéger les artères du XVIe arrondissement ?\nPourquoi tous les commerces du secteur étaient-ils fermés, barricadés, et empêchaient ainsi des regroupements festifs et conviviaux autour d’un verre ou d’un sandwich, et faisaient ainsi régner un sentiment tel que «les sauvageons arrivent» ?\nPourquoi l’impression m’est-elle venue de me retrouver comme dans un rassemblement politique, où les forces de l’ordre ne sont là que pour installer un climat délétère et faire peser un sentiment d’explosion imminente ?\nPourquoi un échafaudage situé à proximité de la scène installée pour l’occasion, et servant ainsi de point de vue parfait mais dangereux, n’était-il pas encadré par un dispositif policier ?\nEn plus d’une configuration étrange, cette présence policière plus que sommaire – eh oui M. le Préfet de Police – laissait planer l’idée que les conditions de sécurité n’étaient pas remplies pour répondre à la ferveur populaire suscitée par ce titre si longtemps espéré, et que des débordements seraient malheureusement à déplorer. Car comment ne pas avoir à l’esprit, en organisant le rendez-vous d’hier, que les 300 connards qui ont contribué à faire mourir le Parc des Princes ces dernières années ne soient pas présents ?\nIl faut en effet resituer : pendant plusieurs décennies, les pouvoirs publics ont abandonné les alentours du Parc des Princes, préférant laisser s’exprimer le racisme ordinaire de quelques pseudo-supporteurs dans cette zone, et ainsi pointer du doigt et mettre dans le même sac les dizaines de milliers d’aficionados, qui se retrouvaient bras dessus, bras dessous, dans les enclaves du Parc des Princes.\nPlusieurs fois, j’ai vu et apostrophé les policiers et CRS impassibles devant les cris et slogans racistes proférés par ces quelques dizaines de fascistes, regroupés au Parc des Princes au début des années 1980 après s’être fait chasser des rues parisiennes par les mouvements antifascistes.\nA défaut de combattre le racisme, c’est encore une fois par des mesures injustes que les pouvoirs publics se sont saisis de la question de la sécurité du PSG et des alentours du Parc des Princes.\nDans cette même dynamique, il faut aussi se souvenir que, depuis plus de cinq ans, les différents dirigeants du PSG, avec l’appui des pouvoirs publics, ont marginalisé près de 13 000 supporteurs des virages du Parc des Princes en développant une politique d’abonnement plus restrictive. Ils ont été exclus du fait des violences entraînées par une frange minoritaire et raciste, et c’est les catégories les plus populaires de supporteurs qui ont payé le prix fort d’une politique antisociale. C’est dorénavant une nouvelle frange de spectateurs aisés et dépassionnés qui peuplent le Parc des Princes, ne connaissant comme seul hymne ou slogan les insultes, sifflets ou silence.\nComment imaginer que les mécontents, fichés par la police, suivis jusque dans leurs déplacements en province, ne viennent exprimer hier leur ras-le-bol contre des mesures qui les frappent injustement ?\nDe même, comment, à la Préfecture de police de Paris, n’a-t-on pas anticipé les éventuels débordements inhérents à tout rassemblement ou manifestation publique, débordements et dégradations renforcés par un climat social et économique terrible ?\nEnfin, comment ne pas sentir que, dans un contexte où les quelques dizaines de membres des groupuscules identitaires d’extrême-droite sont mobilisés contre le mariage pour tous et occupent régulièrement les rues de Paris depuis plusieurs semaines pour défendre l’ordre (soi-disant) naturel, ces groupuscules malheureusement habitués aux travées de l’ancienne tribune Boulogne, ne se joignent pas à ce rendez-vous ?\nC’est donc encore une fois dans cette posture passive, inappropriée et incompréhensible que je retrouvais les forces de l’ordre aux alentours de la place du Trocadéro. Si c’est dans une ambiance festive et joyeuse que le regroupement commençait, avec les gens discutant ensemble, le lien social que constituent originellement les tribunes d’une enceinte sportive prenant effet, l’inorganisation chronique de ce rendez-vous pouvait laisser place aux débordements. Et à l’arrivée de nos joueurs, après un nuage de fumigènes, c’est par les flash-ball tirés dans la foule et les jets de bombes lacrymogènes que les forces de l’ordre répondaient aux provocations des quelques dizaines de cons, confondant une fois encore l’ensemble des supporteurs avec ces franges racistes et écervelées, entraînant des mouvements de foules, chutes, accidents, et du coup frustrations.\nAlors, tirons maintenant les leçons de ce raté aussi historique que notre titre de champion.\nMessieurs les ministres et responsables des pouvoirs publics, comprenez que le PSG ne peut, et n’a jamais pu ni dû, être responsable de la sécurité des espaces publics. Il revient à la préfecture, au ministère de l’Intérieur, de prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires aux abords du Parc des Princes, ainsi que lors de prochaines manifestations festives du PSG. Intégrez que le football n’est pas un sport comme les autres, qu’il n’est pas chose sportive mais fait de société, et que les rangs d’un stade comprennent la diversité qui compose la société française. Comprenez que le racisme se traite à sa base, à savoir en combattant la misère sociale, le désarroi, la peur de l’autre.\nLa direction du PSG doit également s’engager dans la voie de la réconciliation avec ses supporteurs historiques, les vrais, et leur permettre enfin de réintégrer les tribunes du Parc et de reconstituer ce 12e homme qui nous a tant fait défaut dans les grands rendez-vous.\nQuand les pouvoirs publics prendront conscience de tout cela, que la société toute entière se saisira de ces questions politiques et sociétales en favorisant enfin le vivre ensemble et la justice sociale, c’est apaisés que, tous ensemble, nous pourrons enfin célébrer nos joueurs, nos victoires, et crier fièrement «Ici, c’est Paris» !\n(1) L'auteur a pris un pseudonyme", "url": "http://www.liberation.fr/societe/2013/05/15/psg-trocadero-j-ai-vu-j-ai-su-j-ai-pas-couru_903142", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130608024202/http://www.liberation.fr/societe/2013/05/15/psg-trocadero-j-ai-vu-j-ai-su-j-ai-pas-couru_903142" }, { "language": "fr", "title": "30 blessés lors d'affrontements entre supporters du PSG et forces de l'ordre", "text": "Le Monde | 13.05.2013 à 20h31 • Mis à jour le 14.05.2013 à 00h10\nCe devait être une fête mémorable pour le troisième titre de champion de France de football de l'histoire du Paris Saint-Germain après ceux de 1986 et 1994.

Las declaraciones de Gates fueron dadas entre risas en el auditorio de la universidad. El fundador de Microsoft aseguró que el error fue de un ingeniero de la quien se negó a fabricar un botón para abrir el administrador de tareas. David Bradley fue el ingeniero de IBM que configuró el teclado para las computadoras de Microsoft en 1985. En un inicio la combinación debía reiniciar el computador, pero actualmente en las versiones de Windows 7 y 8 bloquea la computadora y permite abrir el administrador de tareas. Bradley afirmó que la combinación se hizo de ese modo para evitar que se ejecutara accidentalmente.

Liban : élection du président de la République
Le général Michel Sleiman, commandant en chef de l'armée libanaise, a été élu ce dimanche à la présidence du Liban par 118 députés sur 127 au terme de six mois de vacance du pouvoir à la tête de l'État. A 19 reprises, l'élection du président par les députés avait été différée par l'impossibilité de réunir le quorum nécessaire. La crise politique entre la coalition antisyrienne, majoritaire au Parlement, et l'opposition conduite par le Hezbollah, alliée de l'Iran et de la Syrie, avait jusque là bloqué la désignation du successeur d'Émile Lahoud, dont le mandat a expiré en novembre 2007. Nommé commandant en chef de l'armée libanaise en décembre 1998, alors que la Syrie contrôlait le Liban, Sleiman a été étroitement associé aux préparatifs du retrait, sous la pression libanaise et internationale, des forces syriennes en 2005 après l'assassinat de Rafiq Hariri et a supervisé le redéploiement de l'armée dans tout le Liban. L'élection de ce chrétien maronite âgé de 59 ans, l'un des rares symboles d'unité de ce pays divisé, a été rendue possible par l'accord négocié cette semaine à Doha, au Qatar. L'accord de Doha, conférence de dialogue qui avait duré six jours et s'était déroulée sous l'égide de la Ligue arabe et de l'émir du Qatar, le cheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, désamorce les tensions très vives au Liban qui ont dégénéré au début du mois en une flambée de violence entre les deux camps qui a fait 65 morts. Il propose une sortie de l'impasse politique dans laquelle le Liban est plongé depuis novembre 2006 et la démission des six ministres de l'opposition face au refus de la coalition antisyrienne de leur accorder un droit de veto sur les décisions du gouvernement Siniora. L'accord de Doha prévoit également la formation d'un gouvernement d'unité nationale et l'élaboration d'une nouvelle loi électorale, celle qui encadrera les élections législatives de 2009. Il devra aussi s'attaquer aux questions en suspens qui menacent la cohésion du Liban, à commencer par le désarmement du Hezbollah. La milice chiite a été la seule autorisée à conserver ses armes après la fin de la guerre civile. Mais ses adversaires réclament aujourd'hui son désarmement. Michel Sleiman devra démissionner de son poste de chef des armées et nommer un nouveau Premier ministre qui devrait être Saad Hariri, chef de file du plus important bloc parlementaire.

Nous allons pouvoir reprendre une vie normale.» Comme elle, l’ensemble des Libanais – toutes tendances politiques ou confessionnelles confondues – ont besoin d’y croire. L’élection de Sleimane, incluse dans l’accord de Doha signé par la majorité et l’opposition parlementaires, est le point de départ d’une période que beaucoup désespéraient de voir arriver. Mais pour Sleimane, dont les portraits tapissent les murs de Beyrouth par milliers, les choses sérieuses vont commencer ce lundi.A 59 ans, le nouveau président a devant lui deux premiers dossiers, à régler le plus rapidement possible: la nomination de son Premier ministre – qui devrait être Saad Hariri, chef de file du plus important bloc parlementaire – puis celui de la formation du gouvernement d’union nationale, comme stipulé dans l’accord de Doha.Et là, les affaires se corsent. Si l’équilibre numéraire est acquis (seize ministres pour la majorité, onze pour l’opposition et trois pour la présidence), les tractations s’annoncent ardues pour savoir quelle formation politique héritera des principaux ministères. Par exemple, Michel Aoun – allié du Hezbollah et ex-candidat à la présidence – se verrait bien attribuer les portefeuilles de la Justice et des Finances, deux places fortes que la majorité compte bien garder.Sleimane, qui se veut l’homme de la réconciliation et qui jouit d’une aura de neutralité entre les deux camps, va devoir montrer un certain talent de négociateur. Car ensuite, il va devoir gérer l’épineux dossier de la prochaine loi électorale – celle qui encadrera les élections législatives de 2009.«Sleimane est l’homme le mieux placé pour sortir le Liban de la crise, note un diplomate européen.

'''Doroczna zbiórka funduszy na funkcjonowanie projektów Wikimedia zakończyła się zebraniem rekordowej kwoty 20 mln dolarów amerykańskich od ponad miliona internautów.''' To rekord tej corocznej zbiórki na funkcjonowanie projektów Wikimedia (m.in. Wikinews, Wikipedia czy Commons), prowadzonej od 2003 roku. Pieniądze zebrane od darczyńców są w całości przeznaczane na funkcjonowanie projektów realizowanych przez Fundację Wikimedia - dzięki datkom, w żadnym z projektów nie ma reklam. W najbliższym roku Fundacja chce zainwestować w serwery, rozwinięcie funkcjonalności stron a także w rozwój usług mobilnych. Istotne jest także wspieranie ogromnej rzeczy wolontariuszy, którzy każdego dnia poświęcają swój czas na rozwijanie poszczególnych projektów. Kampania zachęcająca do przeznaczenia darowizny na konto Fundacji Wikimedia, podobnie jak inne działania Fundacji także była realizowana przy wsparciu wolontariuszy z całego świata. W Argentynie, Brazylii, Indiach, Kenii, Anglii czy Stanach Zjednoczonych ludzie w każdym wieku wyjaśniali dlaczego warto edytować Wikipedię oraz dlaczego warto przeznaczyć kilka dolarów na jej utrzymywanie. Ponad 100 osób tłumaczyło bannery pojawiające się na stronach projektów Wikimedia na różne języki. Każdego miesiąca ponad 470 milionów osób korzysta z projektów Wikimedia.

Inundaciones ponen en crisis al Reino Unido
Un restaurante inundado en el Reino Unido Las intensas lluvias que causaron inundaciones en diversas partes del centro y sur de Inglaterra dejaron a más de 100 mil personas sin agua potable y a unas cuarenta mil sin energía eléctrica. El primer ministro británico, Gordon Brown, sobrevoló en helicóptero el condado de Gloucestershire, una de las regiones más afectadas donde miles de personas permanecen aún sin agua potable y electricidad. Mientras que la Fuerza Aérea Real (RAF) trabaja sin descanso en rescates aéreos de personas refugiadas en los tejados de sus casas. La Agencia de Medio Ambiente indicó que las inundaciones en el centro y oeste del país pueden agravarse, ya que los dos ríos más importantes, el Támesis y el Severn, continúan subiendo. Según la agencia, las niveles de agua superarán a los de las inundaciones de marzo de 1947, cuando el sur y otras regiones de Inglaterra quedaron bajo el agua causando perdidas millonarias. Gordon Brown mantuvo una reunión con el comité "Cobra", órgano de crisis británico, para planificar estrategias a seguir a causa de las inundaciones. Además, el Gobierno decidió aumentar el dinero destinado a las inundaciones hasta 800 millones de libras esterlinas al año para el 2011. Según la Asociación Británica de Aseguradores, las perdidas totales por las inundaciones ascenderían a los 4 mil millones de dólares. Actualmente, hay nueve alertas que siguen en vigor y los condados más afectados son los de Worcestershire, Gloucestershire y Warwickshire.

Garri Kasparow wurde zu einer Geldstrafe von 1000 Rubel verurteilt
__NOTOC__ Bild:Garri kasparow 20070318.jpg|right|thumb|Kasparow am 18.03.2007 in Köln Der ehemalige Schachweltmeister und heutige regierungskritische Politiker der russischen Oppositionspartei „Drugaja Rossija“ („''Anderes Russland''“), Garri Kimowitsch Kasparow, wurde wegen der Beteiligung an der verbotenen Demonstration am gestrigen Samstag von einem Gericht zu einer Geldstrafe von 1.000 Rubel (umgerechnet etwa 29 Euro) verurteilt. Bei einer weiteren Festnahme droht Kasparow nun eine Gefängnisstrafe. Der Oppositionspolitiker befand sich zehn Stunden lang in Gewahrsam. Kasparow kritisierte die Festnahme scharf: „Der russische Staat hat gezeigt, dass er nicht mehr die Weltpresse, die öffentliche Meinung oder selbst das russische Gesetz respektiert. Jetzt ist er ein Land irgendwo zwischen Weißrussland und Simbabwe.“ Kreml-Politiker bezeichneten die Demonstranten hingegen als Extremisten. Sie sollen die politische Stabilität in Russland gefährden wollen. Die Demonstration richtete sich gegen den Mangel an Demokratie unter Präsident Wladimir Putin. Es wurde auch eine gerechte Präsidentschaftswahl im Jahr 2008 gefordert. Michail Kasjanow bekräftigte dies auf dem Turgenjew-Platz noch vor Beginn der Milizübergriffe mit den Worten „Wir erreichen einen Kurswechsel mit Wahlen. Aber es müssen ehrliche und freie Wahlen sein und nicht nur deren Nachahmung.“ Die Polizei nahm zwischen 170 und 250 Demonstranten fest, darunter auch Journalisten. „Der Machtapparat handelt schwer paranoid“, so die Kritik des früheren Wirtschaftsberaters Putins, Andrej Illarionow, am Einsatz von über 9.000 Polizisten in Moskau. Mehrere tausend Menschen versammelten sich auch zu von kremlnahen Jugendorganisationen veranstalteten Gegendemonstrationen.

Sohn von Willy Bogner hat Selbstmord begangen
Am Sonntagmorgen wurde in München der Sohn des ehemaligen Skistars Willy Bogner tot im Haus seiner Adoptiveltern aufgefunden. Heute hat die Staatsanwaltschaft München I ein überraschendes Ergebnis der Obduktion der Leiche bekannt gegeben. Demnach hat der Sohn, Bernhard Bogner, Selbstmord begangen. Der Staatsanwalt sagte, der Sohn habe sich „bewusst und gewollt stranguliert“. Dies sei eindeutig nachzuweisen gewesen. Sonia und Willy Bogner teilten daraufhin mit: „Das erschüttert uns als Eltern sehr. Wir bitten darum, mit unserer großen Trauer und dem tiefen Schmerz um unseren geliebten Sohn weiterhin allein bleiben zu können.“ Die Beerdigung des Sohnes findet im engsten Familienkreis statt.

Zum ersten Mal sei ein Vogel gekürt worden, der als global gefährdete Art auf der weltweiten Roten Liste stehe, teilten der Naturschutzbund (Nabu) und der bayerische Landesbund für Vogelschutz (LBV) mit.\nNabu-Präsidiumsmitglied Heinz Kowalski sagte mit Blick auf Deutschland: \"Seit 1980 haben wir fast 90 Prozent dieser Art verloren, ganze Landstriche sind turteltaubenfrei.\" Heute brüteten hierzulande nur noch 12.500 bis 22.000 Paare. Ihren Namen haben die Tiere ihren charakteristischen Lauten (\"turr, turr\") zu verdanken. Der wissenschaftliche Name lautet \"Streptopelia turtur\".\nTurteltauben werden 26 bis 28 Zentimeter groß - damit sind sie kaum größer als eine Amsel. Weibchen und Männchen unterscheiden sich äußerlich nicht. Das Gewicht der Vögel liegt bei 100 bis 180 Gramm. Die Tiere müssen täglich trinken und ernähren sich ausschließlich vegan.\nDie Turteltaube gehört zu den Zugvögeln. Sie verlässt Europa Ende Juli, um in der Sahara zu überwintern.

Weil die in Deutschland seltene Taubenart vom Aussterben bedroht ist, wurde sie jetzt zum Vogel des Jahres 2020 gewählt.\nVon den 309 wild lebenden Taubenarten kommen nur vier in Deutschland vor. Dabei sind die von der Felsentaube abstammenden halbzahmen Haus- oder Straßentauben und die vielen gezüchteten Brief- und Rassetauben nicht berücksichtigt. Die vielfältig gefärbten Tauben gehören damit einer der größten Vogelfamilien an. Von den vier Arten, die es in Deutschland gibt, haben der Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU) und der Landesbund für Vogelschutz in Bayern (LBV) aus großer Sorge um ihr Überleben die Turteltaube für 2020 zum „Vogel des Jahres“ gewählt, wie am Donnerstag bekanntgegeben wurde.\nSie ist nach der häufigen Ringeltaube, der Hohltaube und der Türkentaube die kleinste und seltenste Art, die hierzulande lebt. Und sie ist ein echter Zugvogel, der den europäischen Winter in der Subsahara vom Senegal im Westen bis nach Äthiopien im Osten verbringt. Ab Mitte April und im Mai kehrt „Streptopelia turtur“, vom großen schwedischen Naturforscher und zoologischen Systematiker Carl von Linné (1707 bis 1778) wegen ihres fast monoton „turr turr turr“ klingenden Rufes wissenschaftlich so benannt, in ihre europäischen, asiatischen und nordafrikanischen Brutgebiete zurück.\nDoch immer weniger Turteltauben bauen ihr anspruchsloses Nest in Bäumen und hohen Hecken. Noch bis Mitte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts war sie ein häufiger Brutvogel vor allem in Mittel- und Süddeutschland. Dann wurden es immer weniger. Der Atlas Deutscher Brutvogelarten gibt für die Jahre 2005 bis 2009 noch 25.000 bis 45.000 Paare an, der NABU beziffert den aktuellen Bestand auf 12.500 bis 22.000 Paare. Zum Vergleich: Ringeltauben werden mit rund drei Millionen, Hohltauben mit 49.000 bis 82.000 und die erst seit 70 Jahren zugezogenen Türkentauben mit 110.000 bis 200.000 Paaren angegeben. Seit 1980 ist der Bestand der Turteltauben um knapp 90 Prozent zurückgegangen. Auf der Roten Liste der bedrohten Vogelarten in Deutschland wurde sie jüngst als „stark gefährdet“ in die Kategorie 2 hochgestuft. Aus Großbritannien, wo die Bestandserhebung Tradition hat, wird ein Rückgang von 93 Prozent zwischen 1970 und 2010 gemeldet.\nDie anmutigen Turteltauben zeichnen sich durch eine schöne Gefiederfärbung aus. Zwar können sie nicht mit den vielen der in den Tropen lebenden Arten mithalten, doch in Europa sind sie die buntesten: mit ihren dunkel gemusterten bräunlich gefärbten Flügeldecken, der rosa gefärbten Kehle und Brust, einem schwarzweißen Ring an beiden Seiten des schlanken Halses, blaugrauen Federpartien am Kopf, vor dem Flügelbug und am helleren Bauch, dem von einem weißen Saum begrenzten dunklen Stoß (Schwanz), den roten Beinen und Füßen und dem leuchtend roten Ring um die gelbschwarzen Augen.\nEin Schauflug mehrere Meter in die Höhe\nIhr Verhalten ist nicht weniger extravagant. Während der Balz tänzeln die Männchen und Weibchen, die gleich gefärbt sind, auf einem Ast umeinander, strecken sich und berühren sich gegenseitig zärtlich am Hals und mit den grauen Schnäbeln. Der Tauber steigt von Zeit zu Zeit zu einem Schauflug mehrere Meter in die Höhe, lässt sich in die Tiefe fallen und landet wie ein geöffneter Fallschirm bei seinem Weibchen. Dort geht das Turteln weiter, nicht selten mit geschlossenen Augen und unter sanftem Gesang. Viele Paare bleiben ihr Leben lang beisammen. Wenn sie Glück haben und nicht wie mehr als die Hälfte der Jungvögel im ersten Lebensjahr sterben, können sie 20 Jahre alt werden.\nDie meisten indes verlieren viel früher ihr Leben. Sie finden nicht genügend Nahrung, weil sie die intensive Landwirtschaft und die Lebensraumzerstörung in Brut- und Überwinterungsgebieten sowie entlang der Zugstrecken zu spüren bekommen, weil sie illegal in Netzen und mit Leimruten gefangen und am Mittelmeer zu intensiv legal bejagt werden. Hinzu kommen als Todesursachen vermehrt Parasiten wie Trichomonaden, mit denen sich die Vögel gegenseitig anstecken können. Bei der Krankheit, die auch „Gelber Knopf“ genannt wird, bilden sich Wucherungen im Rachenbereich und in inneren Organe. Infektionsquelle sind häufig Gewässer. Turteltauben müssen regelmäßig Wasser zu sich nehmen – daher legen sie ihre Zugstrecken so, dass sich entlang der bis zu 700 Kilometer langen Tagesetappen genügend Wasserstellen befinden.", "url": "https://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/tiere/die-turteltaube-ist-vogel-des-jahres-2020-16426682.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20191012102401/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/tiere/die-turteltaube-ist-vogel-des-jahres-2020-16426682.html" } ]

Idle No More : les grèves de la faim se poursuivent
Idle No More est un mouvement de protestation à l'échelle nationale au Canada de la part des Autochtones contre le projet de loi C-45 du gouvernement Harper (ici des manifestants à Victoria en Colombie-Britannique) Alors que des chefs de l'Assemblée des Premières nations (APN) rencontrent le Premier minitre à Ottawa, plusieurs autres chefs boycottent cette réunion dont les chefs régionaux du Manitoba et la chef d'Attawapiskat en Ontario. En effet, Theresa Spence, chef d'Attawapiskat, et Raymond Robinson, un aîné de la communauté de Cross Lake au Manitoba, poursuivent leur grève de la faim qui dure depuis un mois afin de revendiquer une rencontre entre les chefs autochtones et le gouverneur général, représentant de la Reine au Canada, afin de discuter des traités ancestraux signés entre la Couronne et les . Plusieurs manifestations ont également lieu dans le cadre du mouvement Idle No More partout au Canada ce vendredi.

El crudo pasa los 94 dólares por barril e impone un récord inédito
Otro récord ha sido impuesto en los precios del petróleo crudo. Este mismo sobrevoló los US$94.00 por barril. El petróleo en el New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) cerró en US$94.23, habiendo llegado a un pico US$94.74 por barril, el precio más alto registrado. En el IntercontinentalExchange, el Petróleo Brent cerró en récord US$90.63 luego de registrar un pico inédito de US$90.94. Se estima que la subida de precios fue causada primordialmente por el reporte de inventario del Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos, que mostró una caída inesperada en las reservas de petróleo. La semana pasada, las reservas estadounidenses eran de cerca de 4 millones de barriles. Además, también se cree que la tormenta tropical Noel es otro detonante de la subida de precios. Debido a la tormenta, la producción de petróleo de México fue suspendida mientras la tormenta se disipaba, pero se espera que la producción se reinicie hoy.

Profesores chilenos amenazan con paro de actividades el día 13 de octubre
En la voz del presidente del Colegio de Profesores de Chile, Jorge Gajardo, los profesores de colegios municipales están dispuesto a paralizar sus actividades el día 13 de octubre con el fin de mostrar su descontento con el retraso en el pago de la deuda histórica de los docentes ya jubilados del país. Los 1.7000 millones de pesos (US$ 3,07 millones; € 2,1 milones) que se adeudan a profesores jubilados corresponde solamente a 20% de la deuda original que posee el gobierno, y el líder del gremio docente calificó como "un problema gratuito que (se está generando el gobierno) en la discusión del presupuesto nacional". El gobierno, durante las negociaciones de la reparación monetaria a los académicos, indicó que entre el 12 y 15 de octubre responderían con una propuesta para pagar el monto adeudado, pero aún no publican la fórmula de pago. Gajardo indicó que esta medida de presión puede afectar el cierre académico del año 2009, ya que se encuentran casi todos los liceos y colegios en su fase final del año y durante el mes de octubre comenzará la aplicación de la prueba SIMCE y finales de noviembre, los alumnos de cuarto medio deberían rendir la PSU. Las exigencias del profesorado corresponde al pago de la deuda histórica que se mantiene con el gremio desde el año 1981, cuando el Estado chileno traspasó la educación desde el fisco hacia los municipios, estimándose un total de 90 mil profesores que no han recibido un pago de su deuda, mientras que el gobierno estima solamente en 60 mil. El gobierno, a través de la Ministra de Educación, rechazó cualquier manifestación de este tipo, ya que no se estaba evadiendo el pago del bono SAE que está pendiente, y que la fecha elegida por los docentes para realizar esta manifestación no era la más indicada por el cierre académico que debería ocurrir en los primeros de diciembre.

NHL: Shorthand a success in Penguins win over Rangers
received the #1 Star of the Game. Today, the Pittsburgh Penguins took on the in , New York. struck first for New York, with following suit in the final 2:30 to give the Rangers a comfortable 2-0 lead at the end of the second period. Staal's shorthanded goal came 76 seconds into the final period, with Staal beating Rangers goaltender with a soft forehand shot. Penguins winger continued the shorthanded show, scoring less than 2:00 later with a bad angle shot, which would ricochet off of Lundqvist's pad. When all momentum had seemingly crossed to the Penguins, Blair Betts fired a goal to restore New York's lead at 3-2. tied it up again late in the 3rd, with a blistering shot on a Penguins power play to level the score at 3-3. In the shootout, not a single score occurred until NHL scoring leader took the ice. With the shootout tied 0-0, and a point on the line, Crosby beat Lundqvist, lifting Pittsburgh to victory. The game was not a total loss for the Rangers, though, as they picked up a precious point by forcing overtime. Penguins rookie wasn't supposed to make the team, and once he did make it, he wasn't expected to contribute more than assisting on the penalty kill and filling in on the fourth line. Not much could be expected of an 18 year old rookie not named Sidney Crosby. That was the premise before the season started, at least. Now, heading into the stretch run toward the NHL Playoffs, Staal leads not just rookies, but the entire National Hockey League in shorthanded goals, after notching his 6th of the season, his 26th total goal.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Yahoo", "text": "U.S.\nThe Guardian\nGregory McMichael lost his power of arrest in 2006 after failing to complete sufficient basic law enforcement training Gregory McMichael, the white retired law enforcement officer who helped chase down and kill Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed 25-year-old African American man, failed to complete sufficient basic law enforcement training for years, a deficiency that led to him losing his power of arrest.McMichael, who worked as an investigator in the Brunswick judicial circuit district attorney’s office from 1995 to 2019, lost his power of arrest in January 2006 for failing to complete the required 20 hours of training the previous year, according to personnel records obtained by the Guardian.He continued to be deficient in his training for the years that followed and didn’t get the waiver required to reinstate his power of arrest authority. Some of the training McMichael lacked included required courses on use of force and firearms.The personnel records, which have been reported by local media, come to light as McMichael faces murder charges for chasing down Arbery, who was jogging through a residential neighborhood. McMichael and his son Travis claimed they believed Arbery looked like a suspect in a string of neighborhood break-ins.The records also shed light on McMichael’s close relationship with Jackie Johnson, the district attorney for the Brunswick judicial circuit, who recused herself from the case and is now subject to a state investigation of how the case was handled.The pair were eventually charged after state investigators were brought on to the case following the emergence of video showing Arbery’s death.Johnson’s office declined to comment.“We are confident that any investigation will ultimately show that our office acted appropriately under the circumstances,” her office said in a statement. “There is a public misconception about this case due to false allegations against our office by those with an agenda.”In Georgia, law enforcement officers are required to complete 20 hours of training each year, including certain mandated courses, to maintain their power of arrest – a critical authorization that gives officers legal authority to do essential law enforcement functions.“Without those powers of arrest, you have no further or no additional power than any other citizen has,” said Mike Ayers, the executive director of the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training council (Post), which oversees the certification.But McMichael didn’t alert his supervisors to the deficiency until 2014, according to the records. The problem was so severe, Post considered suspending him indefinitely. He was stripped of his gun and departmental vehicle while he applied to the state for a waiver.In an April 2014 memo to Johnson, Mark Melton, another investigator in her office, warned that because McMichael lost his power of arrest “any improper actions by Greg would fall on Greg, the district attorney’s office, and you personally.”McMichael ultimately had his certification restored. But Johnson, the district attorney, wrote to the agency responsible for overseeing the certification process that the episode was “a great embarrassment to me and Investigator McMichael”.“It has negatively impacted my office and I have taken measures to ensure that this doesn’t happen,” Johnson added, stating she was grateful that the state’s law enforcement standards and training [Post] director had reinstated the license after she met him in person to lobby on McMichael’s behalf.In February 2019, months before he retired, McMichael again lost his certification from Post for failing to complete the required training in 2018. Weeks later, his supervisors reassigned him to work as a staff liaison in the Camden county district attorney’s office and noted that he would “not engage in any activity that would be construed as being law enforcement in nature”. His supervisors noted he would not carry a badge or firearm in his new role.The records highlight the multiple medical and personal issues that McMichael cited for missing various training programs. In a letter authored by McMichael to explain his absences between 2005 and 2010 and request a training exemption, he states that in 2006, following a heart attack, he experienced clinical depression.“The depression made me unable at times to focus on important tasks … I immediately sought treatment, which continues to this day,” he writes.He writes that in 2009 he and his wife filed for bankruptcy and later that year he experienced a second heart attack: “I believe that this heart attack was brought on in large part by the stress that I was experiencing both at home and at work.”McMichael’s personnel file, which stretches back to the year he was employed by the Brunswick district attorney’s office, also gives insights into his general performance as an employee and other training he received on the job.For example, the records indicate McMichael completed only one training course in the use of de-escalation tactics, but completed four courses devoted to “understanding Islamist terrorism” and another on “introduction to terrorism”.His annual reviews from superiors present a mixed track record and his overall performance is never rated above “good”. One November 2000 review notes: “Needs to improve his organization and prioritization of his workload.” Multiple reports describe a lack of organizational skills.", "url": "http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=AnDSZIS6njACzuADx7vCmgFQ2bYF?gid=2007030113", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200516092016/https://www.yahoo.com/?err=404&err_url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2007030113" } ]

W rozmowie z Podsekretarz Stanu w Kancelarii Prezydenta RP Ewą Junczyk – Ziomecką wyjaśnił powody swojej decyzji. Powiedział, że wolna Polska zmusiła go do wyjazdu z jego ojczystego kraju do Australii oraz że nie zgadza się z zapisami Traktatu Lizbońskiego. Pan B. Czajkowski był przed uroczystością w stałym kontakcie z pracownikami Kancelarii Prezydenta, wiedząc w jakim charakterze jest zaproszony na uroczystość.\nPodczas uroczystości Prezydent RP powiedział:\n„Szanowne Panie i Szanowni Panowie, bohaterowie dzisiejszego spotkania, Panie Prezesie, Magnificencje, Panie i Panowie Ministrowie, Szanowni Państwo,\nCzterdzieści lat temu – za dwa dni będzie dokładnie 40 lat – w piątek 8 marca o godzinie dwunastej zwołany został wiec na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. Wiec, zwołany przez istniejącą już od lat studencką opozycję, zwaną potocznie „grupą komandosów”. Do dziś podobno trwa spór o to, kto wymyślił tę nazwę. Ta opozycja była realnie istniejącą grupą, nawet z pewnymi podgrupami w środku, i była też mitem. Była mitem dla wszystkich tych, którzy chcieli w tamtej, niezwykle trudnej rzeczywistości, jawnie opierać się systemowi. Tym mitem była także po roku ‘68, aż do powstania zinstytucjonalizowanej opozycji w Polsce w drugiej połowie lat 70., czyli najpierw KOR-u, a wkrótce później ROPCiO i innych grup.\nWiec z 8 marca zwołany był w obronie kolegów, dwóch studentów, usuniętych wtedy z uczelni: Adama Michnika i Henryka Szlajfera i miał być protestem przede wszystkim studentów Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Trwał przez wiele godzin. Zaczął się od oświadczenia w tej sprawie, świetnie pamiętam, że odczytywali je Irena Lasota, Mirosław Sawicki, Jan Górecki. Wiec ten przeniósł się spod siedziby ówczesnej Biblioteki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego pod Pałac Kazimierzowski. Wyłoniono delegację studencką do prorektora, później przez jedenaście lat – nie mówmy źle o zmarłych, ale niezbyt sławnej pamięci – rektora Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. I wtedy zaczęła się interwencja grup i tak zwanego Golędzinowa i grup ORMO, które nazywane były „aktywem robotniczym” i w końcu nieumundurowanych grup milicji – na terenie Uniwersytetu i na Krakowskim Przedmieściu, gdzie zaczęła się walka między tymi oddziałami a studentami, także przypadkowo przebywającymi tam osobami. Ruch rozprzestrzenił się nie tylko na całą Warszawę – już następnego dnia ruszyła olbrzymia manifestacja spod Politechniki, po wiecu na Politechnice – ale rozprzestrzenił się, co było mniej oczywiste, na cały kraj, na wiele ośrodków akademickich, gdzie nie funkcjonowały takie grupy, jak grupa z Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, grupa „komandosów”.\nBył to wielki studencki bunt. Można powiedzieć, że to był w ogóle rok studenckich buntów. Tak, to prawda, ale wydarzenia we Francji, w Paryżu zaczęły się w maju, a nie w marcu, czyli później. To samo dotyczy innych uczelni, jak chociaż w Niemczech – o ile pamiętam – było już mniej więcej równolegle. Był to wielki studencki bunt w walce o demokrację. To nie był bunt, który miał przesłanki ekonomiczne. Był to ruch na rzecz prawdy, wolności prasy, demokracji. Nie formułowano wtedy programu zmiany systemu, ale formułowano program demokratycznych przemian. Ruch został dość brutalnie stłumiony. Wiele osób, w tym także wielu z Państwa, którzy tutaj stoją przede mną, zostało aresztowanych, przebywało w więzieniu do końca lipca, sierpnia lub też otrzymało wyroki. W czterech najbardziej znanych procesach warszawskich – ale wiem, że w wielu innych miastach były procesy może nawet w gorszej sytuacji, bo nikt o nich nie wiedział – zapadło 13 wyroków skazujących. Skazani zostali Jacek Kuroń i Karol Modzelewski, ale także Adam Michnik, Barbara Toruńczyk, obecny tutaj Józef Dajczgewand, obecny również Jan Górecki, Irena Lasota, Jan Lityński, Seweryn Blumsztajn. Myślę, że potrafiłbym te procesy wymienić po kolei, ostatni był tzw. proces dziewcząt. I to wszystko ci ludzie, którzy wtedy wkraczali na studia, a byli zainteresowani polityką, opozycją, niezwykle bystro obserwowali. Powtarzam: ruch „komandosów” przestał istnieć jako grupa, pozostał jako mit, który zaowocował. Tak samo bunt studencki został stłumiony, ale mit oporu przeciwko systemowi pozostał i zaowocował. Zaowocował później po 8, a szczególnie po 12, 13 latach.\nWydarzenia 1968 roku miały też inny wymiar, związany z kampanią o charakterze antysemickim, przeprowadzoną wtedy przez oficjalne czynniki rządowe, partyjne na skalę trudną dzisiaj do uwierzenia. Należę do pokolenia, które było świadkami tej kampanii, ale sam często zachodzę w głowę, czy ja to rzeczywiście widziałem i słyszałem, czy to było możliwe w 23 lata po wojnie. Niestety, było możliwe. Kampania ta trwała wiele tygodni, a w pewnym wymiarze nawet znacznie dłużej. Była to kampania, która nie tylko naruszała podstawowe zasady cywilizowanego społeczeństwa, nie tylko była kampanią – trzeba to sobie jasno powiedzieć – rasistowską, ale także przyniosła naszemu krajowi niepowetowane straty, które nie zostały do końca naprawione aż do dzisiaj. Ta kampania wyrzuciła z naszego kraju tysiące ludzi, którzy być może mieli żydowskie pochodzenie, ale w istocie byli Polakami, tysiące ludzi także, którzy czuli się Żydami, ale Żydami polskimi. Byli to często ludzie niezmiernie wartościowi. Kampania ta uderzyła też w polską inteligencję w ogóle. W wielu dziedzinach nauki – mówię tutaj o humanistyce – istniejąca przedtem względna swoboda badań, mówię w szczególności o socjologii czy filozofii, została gwałtownie ograniczona. Można powiedzieć, że na wielu polskich uczelniach miejsce ludzi wartościowych – na ogół lewicowej proweniencji, ale to przecież nikomu nie odbiera prawa do bycia człowiekiem najwspanialszym na świecie – zastąpiło ludźmi, o których nic dobrego powiedzieć się nie da. Chciałem tutaj nawet użyć mocnego określenia, wydaje mi się jednak, że nie wypada. To były zdarzenia dla Polski, generalnie rzecz biorąc, niezmiernie niekorzystne, a pod pewnymi względami wręcz tragiczne. I o tym również należy pamiętać. Pamiętać należy również dlatego, żeby coś, co oczywiście nie powtarzałoby Marca, bo to dzisiaj nie jest możliwe, ale co byłoby choćby w najmniejszym stopniu do Marca podobne, nigdy już w Polsce się nie zdarzyło. Jestem najgłębiej przekonany, że się nie zdarzy, ale czuwać nad tym trzeba zawsze. Ja ze swojej strony, niezależnie od tego, że ludzie Marca stworzyli polską opozycję, w dużym stopniu po roku 1989 stworzyli polską władzę i poszli tutaj w różnych kierunkach – ja tego pilnować będę z całą solennością. O tym mogę zapewnić wszystkich tych, którzy są tutaj dzisiaj obecni, a także – niezależnie od fundamentalnych niejednokrotnie różnic poglądów – tych, którzy dzisiaj nie są obecni.\nChciałem Państwu najserdeczniej pogratulować i powiedzieć na koniec z wielką dumą, że wprawdzie jako szeregowy żołnierz, ale też wtedy, 8 marca, pod biblioteką Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, a później pod Pałacem Kazimierzowskim razem ze swoim bratem, a także dzisiejszym posłem, byłym ministrem Wojciechem Jasińskim, byliśmy”.\nZapraszamy do oglądania zdjęć z tego wydarzenia w naszej Galerii!", "url": "http://www.prezydent.pl/x.node?id=1011848&eventId=16527848", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080312230055/http://www.prezydent.pl/x.node?id=1011848&eventId=16527848" } ]

Nicolaus Copernicus buried again
Copernicus was one of the most important people of the . Polish astronomer was buried for the second time yesterday, in the Catholic church of , Poland. Copernicus is considered the founder of modern astronomy, and known for declaring that the Earth revolved around the Sun, contrary to popular belief at the time. His body was discovered and exhumed in 2005 by Polish archaeologists in a nameless tomb in the same church. After the extraction, the body was sent for testing, which confirmed it was Copernicus, who died in 1543. His funeral was presided over by Archbishop . In his time, Copernicus was considered a heretic due to his theory, which was published shortly before his death. He studied in the Kraków University and in the University. In his work he demonstrated, through mathematical and astronomical calculations, that the planets –including Earth– rotated around the Sun.

Swine flu deaths reported in Argentina
The first deaths from swine flu in Argentina have been reported. To-date there have been a total of four deaths tied to the disease. The first was a baby girl aged three months. According to a report from the government's health ministry, she died in a Buenos Aires hospital, having been there since earlier in June. influenza A virus subtype H1N1 The Argentinian health ministry announced an additional 89 cases confirmed on Monday, bringing the total in the country to 733. As winter begins in the southern hemisphere, health officials believe that the virus will spread in the area. The second person to die from the virus in Argentina was a 28-year-old man who had been receiving care after a bone marrow transplant. "He was a very severely immune-depressed patient. When a person gets a transplant, you have to depress his defense system, and so he is more vulnerable to agents that can cause illnesses," said health official Claudio Zin. There have been a total of four deaths to date tied to the virus in Argentina, however no information has yet been released on the other two deceased patients. According to Carlos Soratti, Vice Minister of Health, 138 newly confirmed cases has brought the total as of Tuesday to 871 in the country. Chile has a recorded 2,335 cases, and Argentina has the second-highest amount of recorded cases in South America. Last week the World Health Organization announced a declaration that Swine flu has reached the level of a pandemic. According to the WHO, excluding the deaths in Argentina there have been 163 deaths globally attributed to the virus as of Monday. There are approximately 36,000 cases of the virus in 76 countries.

España campeón de la Eurocopa 2012
La selección española ganó la Eurocopa 2012 al vencer cuatro goles por cero a su rival de Italia en el Estadio Olímpico de Kiev, Ucrania. El equipo español dominó gran parte del juego, obteniendo el primer gol al minuto 14 por medio de David Silva, luego a los 41 a través del jugador Jordi Alba. En el segundo tiempo, los encargado de enviar la pelota hasta el fondo de la red fueron Fernando Torres a los 84 y 4 minutos más tarde Juan Mata. El éxito de la "Roja" los reivindican como la mejor selección de fútbol y hacen historia, ya que son los actuales campeones del mundo tras ganar el Mundial celebrado en Sudáfrica 2010, y renombrar su título de Eurocopa ganado hace 4 años atrás en Austria y Suiza 2008. Por otro lado es la primera final de Eurocopa en haber un resultado muy amplio con respecto a su adversario. De igual forma, Fernando Torres se consolida como el primer jugador en marcar un gol en dos finales de Eurocopa consecutivas, tanto en la 2008 como en la 2012.

En el palco de honor estuvo presente el Príncipe de Asturias Felipe de Borbón, el presidente del Gobierno Mariano Rajoy, el presidente de la UEFA Michel Platini y el presidente de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) Ángel María Villar entre otras personalidades.\nJuanma Trueba | 02/07/2012\nHay que frotarse los ojos, pero con cuidado: no borren jamás lo que vieron anoche. España ha conseguido lo que nadie logró y lo hizo como nunca hubiéramos imaginado: sin sufrir. Esa es la última pirueta de este equipo formidable. Llevarnos en brazos hasta el paraíso. Tan asombroso como el juego de la Selección fue la ausencia de miedo, la confianza absoluta de un país entero. La final era el partido. La tacada imposible es la consecuencia del talento aplicado a la diversión. España le ha recordado al mundo que el fútbol es un juego.\nEs cierto que esta generación de futbolistas será irrepetible. Sin embargo, su ejemplo habrá sembrado los patios y los parques, repletos de niños con un modelo a seguir y con un doble deseo: jugar bien y ser bajitos. De modo que no caigamos en la nostalgia que sucede a la euforia. Probablemente este milagro tenga hijos y nietos; seguramente seamos familia numerosa, viejos abuelos de barbas blancas.\nAlgún día lo contaremos y nos dirán que exageramos, que esto no lo inventamos nosotros. Pero sucedió con nosotros de testigos, y quiero pensar que toda esa energía también contó, aunque fuera para desviar los balones que no alcanza Iker, uno o ninguno. Llevamos cuatro años sin encajar goles en los cruces.\nNo sólo eso. Hemos entrado en la historia sin una artimaña, gran fútbol y buenas maneras. En este grupo se aplacan los egos y se extinguen las hogueras. Torres dejó buena prueba: renunció al doblete y al pichichi en la Eurocopa para ceder el último gol de la final a Mata, amigo, compañero y respaldo en tantos malos momentos.\nGenio. En esa perfección moral (en su aspiración) Del Bosque juega un papel primordial. Su respeto a los galones no es otra cosa que respeto a los campeones, a quienes nos trajeron hasta aquí. Lo de su talento como técnico no se reconocerá fácilmente, porque lo disimula. Nos hace creer que somos nosotros, 50 millones, quienes elegimos el once; si algo sale mal, corre de su cuenta.\nLa final nos enseñó que a España no se le gana jugando como juega España. No eres bajito, aunque te encojas. Se puede calcar la idea, pero no se puede copiar el ingenio, el instinto de supervivencia que desarrolla el niño acostumbrado a nadar entre tiburones. Para España los monstruos siempre merecen la misma consideración: el lindo gatito.\nXavi avisó a los nueve minutos y Silva marcó a los 14. La jugada fue un prodigio, el primero de tantos. Iniesta lanzó en profundidad a Cesc, que alcanzó el balón y resistió la embestida de Chiellini. Otro cualquiera hubiera centrado de primeras o se hubiera muerto de miedo. Fàbregas continuó un metro y en un segundo procesó tanta información como el Deep Blue. Silva se inventó luego el cabezazo a bote pronto o de cuello retráctil. Gol de nueve y gol de diez.\nItalia enseñó sus garras, que las tiene, y su orgullo, que le sobra. Dominó durante un cuarto de hora y nos agobió en los saques de esquina. Sólo fue una nube negra y la demostración de que Italia es un justo subcampeón.\nGloria. El segundo gol fue un chapuzón de gloria. Se fabricó en cuatro flashes. Cesc, Jordi, Xavi, Jordi. Coordinar la velocidad del balón con el desmarque del lateral-ardilla es cosa que sólo está al alcance del señor Hernández, resucitado de entre los genios.\nItalia asumió su condena y le llovieron las desgracias. Agotó los cambios y la lesión de Motta dejó al equipo con diez futbolistas. España, además, alcanzó su punto de ebullición. Apoyos, tuyamías, pases con guiño. Sin embargo, ya no era ese fútbol dulzón que recuerda el cuelga tú de los enamorados al teléfono. En cada rondo había una intención perversa, un deseo asesino.\nFernando Torres marcó el tercero para cerrar el círculo virtuoso de cuatro años y dos Eurocopas. Tan en deuda se sintió con el destino, tan rescatado por los dioses, que regaló el cuarto a un amigo. Ahora ya está en paz.\nLa vida no es tan fácil, dirán algunos. Pero la enseñanza sirve. Los sueños se cumplen. A veces de una tacada.

A través de ella ha llegado una triple corona histórica, algo que asombra al mundo entero y que este grupo ha provocado que sus vecinos lo vean como algo casi habitual. Lo extraordinario convertido en ordinario. Tanto que algunos osan decir que su estilo ganador aburre.\nEn una final de la Eurocopa salió a difuminar las escasas dudas que hay de su tremenda capacidad. Desde el pitido inicial, España mostró sus credenciales y personalidad pese a que Italia quiso mostrar atrevimiento con el primer disparo. Balotelli rozó con Ramos, que hizo el primer disparo en una falta y cabeceó un córner forzado tras una buena internada por banda de Alba.\nEl primer cuarto de hora fue el mejor de España con Del Bosque: toque de balon de España, paciencia y verticalidad. Con esa receta llegó un golazo espectacular de Silva. Iniesta se asoció con Cesc, centró desde la línea de fondo para que David cabeceara en carrera. Con Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva uno se pregunta si realmente se necesita un '9'. Porque son tan excelsos que fabrican goles atacando tres contra siete o dos contra cinco.\nItalia no se amilanó, regalando a Europa una final intensa y preciosa. Chiellini, el capo que estaba fallando y daba facilidades, se fue lesionado por un Balzaretti que normalmente suele dejar espacio a su espalda. El cambio le vino bien al bloque de Prandelli, que fue creciendo en ataque y ganó profundidad. Italia se levantó, empezó a robar la bola y equilibró el partido por unos minutos. Del Bosque era consciente de que crecía en torno a la pelota, circulando con paciencia, sin perderla.\n(Vídeo no disponible para dispositivos móviles)\nEl timón de Xavi\nPara eso era necesario que Xavi siguiese en plan mariscal, ganando continuamente a Pirlo, al que el mediocampo español apagó con sus ayudas, y De Rossi. El catalán llegó serio, consciente de que era el día que más lo necesitaba la Roja. Un genio quizá irrepetible, el jugador más grande que lucido la camiseta roja en toda la historia. Sus pases son poemas de nuevas alegrias y en uno Jordi Alba mostró su capacidad para competir en los 60 metros lisos antes de fusilar a Buffon. Esprintó y no se arrugó ante Buffon, al que doblegó con la calidad del mejor ariete. Un 2-0 ante esta España, que lleva 70 partidos sin desperdiciar un marcador, era demasiada losa para la Italia más ofensiva que se recuerda y que cayó sin dar una sola patada.\nAl volver del vestuario Di Natale y Cesc probaron su acierto, pero Casillas siempre se mostró seguro, confirmando que en las finales nunca encaja. Iker tuvo que aparecer tras el goles y, como siempre, estuvo soberbio. Un gol en seis partidos. Como su amigo Xavi sabe que el que el prejuicio de lucir guantes quizá también le deje sin Balón de Oro. Del Bosque sustituyó a Silva por Pedro, amplitud y presión. Además, a Prandelli todo le salía mal: metió a Motta, se quebró y dejó a Italia en inferioridad númerica. En la futbolística llevaba viviendo todo el partido.\nXavi volvió a tirar de manual, retrocedió en el tiempo y asistió a Torres que marcó el 3-0. El Niño se situó co-pichichi de la Euro pero en la siguiente que tuvo no fue egoísta y regaló el gol a Juan Mata, que aprovechó sus primeros minutos en la Euro con gol. Su amigo asturiano le ha ayudado en sus malos momentos en el Chelsea y quiso premiarle. Y es que este equipo tiene valores de compañerismo y compromiso, no solo calidad. El que no hace biscotto para eliminar a un rival complicado, al que luego golea en la final. El que celebra el triunfo con sus pequeños correteando por el césped. Los hijos de los bajitos, que curiosamente son los más grande de este deporte.\nUn momento irrepetible\nEsta generación de futbolistas han sido los artífices estos años de grandes alegrías de un país que está muy lejos de ocupar la posición predominante que tiene su fútbol. En el inicio de julio de 2012 no se valora lo que esto significa. Un hito que quizá parecerá mentira cuando, dentro de muchos años, lo lean en las hemerotecas.\nEn la vida muchas veces no se llega a ser consciente de estar viviendo algo irrepetible, una experiencia que marcará una vida y quizá no se repita nunca. Es necesario disfrutar con lo que hace sólo un tiempo parecía imposible. Por eso, hay que dar las gracias a las personas que hacen posibles los momentos de felicidad. Gracias por todo, de corazón.\nLA FICHA DEL PARTIDO\n4-España: Casillas; Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Piqué, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Xabi Alonso; Iniesta (Mata, min.87), Xavi, Silva (Pedro, min.59), Cesc (Torres, min.75).\n0-Italia: Buffon; Abate, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini (Balzaretti, min. 21); De Rossi, Pirlo, Marchisio, Montolivo (Motta, min.56); Cassano (Di Natale, min.46), Balotelli.\nGoles:1-0, min.14.

Zmarł twórca myszy komputerowej
We wtorek, 2 lipca w Atherton w Kalifornii zmarł amerykański wizjonerski inżynier elektryk '''Douglas Engelbart''', w wieku 88 lat, znany jako twórca myszy komputerowej, którą wynalazł w 1968 roku.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Computer Visionary Who Invented the Mouse", "text": "Douglas C. Engelbart was 25, just engaged to be married and thinking about his future when he had an epiphany in 1950 that would change the world.\nHe had a good job working at a government aerospace laboratory in California, but he wanted to do something more with his life, something of value that might last, even outlive him. Then it came to him. In a single stroke he had what might be safely called a complete vision of the information age.\nThe epiphany spoke to him of technology’s potential to expand human intelligence, and from it he spun out a career that indeed had lasting impact. It led to a host of inventions that became the basis for the Internet and the modern personal computer.\nIn later years, one of those inventions was given a warmhearted name, evoking a small, furry creature given to scurrying across flat surfaces: the computer mouse.\nDr. Engelbart died on Tuesday at 88 at his home in Atherton, Calif. His wife, Karen O’Leary Engelbart, said the cause was kidney failure.\nComputing was in its infancy when Dr. Engelbart entered the field. Computers were ungainly room-size calculating machines that could be used by only one person at a time. Someone would feed them information in stacks of punched cards and then wait hours for a printout of answers. Interactive computing was a thing of the future, or in science fiction. But it was germinating in Dr. Engelbart’s restless mind.\nIn his epiphany, he saw himself sitting in front of a large computer screen full of different symbols — an image most likely derived from his work on radar consoles while in the Navy after World War II. The screen, he thought, would serve as a display for a workstation that would organize all the information and communications for a given project.\nIt was his great insight that progress in science and engineering could be greatly accelerated if researchers, working in small groups, shared computing power. He called the approach “bootstrapping” and believed it would raise what he called their “collective I.Q.”\nA decade later, during the Vietnam War, he established an experimental research group at Stanford Research Institute (later renamed SRI and then SRI International). The unit, the Augmentation Research Center, known as ARC, had the financial backing of the Air Force, NASA and the Advanced Research Projects Agency, an arm of the Defense Department. Even so, in the main, computing industry professionals regarded Dr. Engelbart as a quixotic outsider.\nIn December 1968, however, he set the computing world on fire with a remarkable demonstration before more than a thousand of the world’s leading computer scientists at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, one of a series of national conferences in the computer field that had been held since the early 1950s. Dr. Engelbart was developing a raft of revolutionary interactive computer technologies and chose the conference as the proper moment to unveil them.\nFor the event, he sat on stage in front of a mouse, a keyboard and other controls and projected the computer display onto a 22-foot-high video screen behind him. In little more than an hour, he showed how a networked, interactive computing system would allow information to be shared rapidly among collaborating scientists. He demonstrated how a mouse, which he invented just four years earlier, could be used to control a computer. He demonstrated text editing, video conferencing, hypertext and windowing.\nIn contrast to the mainframes then in use, a computerized system Dr. Engelbart created, called the oNLine System, or NLS, allowed researchers to share information seamlessly and to create and retrieve documents in the form of a structured electronic library.\nThe conference attendees were awe-struck. In one presentation, Dr. Engelbart demonstrated the power and the potential of the computer in the information age. The technology would eventually be refined at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center and at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Apple and Microsoft would transform it for commercial use in the 1980s and change the course of modern life.\nYears later, people in Silicon Valley still referred to the presentation as “the mother of all demos.” It took until the late 1980s for the mouse to become the standard way to control a desktop computer.\nDouglas Carl Engelbart was born in Portland, Ore., on Jan. 25, 1925, to Carl and Gladys Engelbart. He spent his formative years on a farm in suburban Portland, graduated from high school in 1942 and attended Oregon State College. Toward the end of World War II, he was drafted. He spent two years in the Navy, one of them in the Philippines, as a radar technician.\nOne day he was in a reading library on a small island when an article titled “As We May Think” caught his eye. The article, by Vannevar Bush, a physicist and inventor who oversaw the United States Office of Scientific Research and Development during the war, described a universal information retrieval system called Memex. The idea stuck with Dr. Engelbart, and he made it his life’s work.\nAfter returning to Oregon State and graduating, he was hired to work at Ames Research Center, a government aerospace laboratory in California run by the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, NASA’s forerunner. While there, working as an electronics technician, he saw how aerospace engineers started with small models of their designs and then scaled them up to full-size airplanes.\nThe idea of scaling remained with him. After getting his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, and starting work at SRI, he wrote a seminal paper on the importance of scaling in microelectronics. He presented it in 1960, a year after the invention of the planar transistor, which had improved the electrical output of transistors and made them cheaper to manufacture and available to a mass market.\nDr. Engelbart grew convinced that computers would quickly become more powerful and that there would be enough processing power to design the Memex-like Augment system that he envisioned. He was proved right.\nThe idea for the mouse — a pointing device that would roll on a desk — occurred to Dr. Engelbart in 1964 while he was attending a computer graphics conference. He was musing about how to move a cursor on a computer display.\nWhen he returned to work, he gave a copy of a sketch to William English, a collaborator and mechanical engineer at SRI, who, with the aid of a draftsman, fashioned a pine case to hold the mechanical contents.\nEarly versions of the mouse had three buttons, because that was all the case could accommodate, even though Dr. Engelbart felt that as many as 10 buttons would be more useful. Two decades later, when Steve Jobs added the mouse to his Macintosh computer, he decided that a single button was appropriate. The Macintosh designers believed in radical simplicity, and Mr. Jobs argued that with a single button it was impossible to push the wrong one.\n(When and under what circumstances the term “the mouse” arose is hard to pin down, but one hardware designer, Roger Bates, has contended that it happened under Mr. English’s watch. Mr. Bates was a college sophomore and Mr. English was his mentor at the time. Mr. Bates said the name was a logical extension of the term then used for the cursor on a screen: CAT. Mr. Bates did not remember what CAT stood for, but it seemed to all that the cursor was chasing their tailed desktop device.)\nThe importance of Dr. Engelbart’s networking ideas was underscored in 1969, when his Augment NLS system became the application for which the forerunner of today’s Internet was created. The system was called the ARPAnet computer network, and SRI became the home of its operation center and one of its first two nodes, or connection points. (The other node was at the University of California, Los Angeles. Two others followed, at the University of Utah and the University of California, Santa Barbara.).\nDr. Engelbart saw his ARC group grow rapidly after 1969. At the height of the Vietnam War, it swelled to more than 50 researchers — a significant number of them young men who had taken to computing in part to avoid the military draft.\nThe group disbanded in the 1970s, and SRI sold the NLS system in 1977 to a company called Tymshare. Dr. Engelbart worked there in relative obscurity for more than a decade until his contributions became more widely recognized by the computer industry. He was awarded the National Medal of Technology, the Lemelson-M.I.T. Prize and the Turing Award.\nHis first wife, the former Ballard Fish, died in 1997. Besides his wife, his survivors include his daughters, Gerda and Christina Engelbart and Diana Mangan; a son, Norman; and nine grandchildren.\nDr. Engelbart was one of the first to realize the accelerating power of computers and the impact they would have on society. In a presentation at a conference in Philadelphia in February 1960, he described the industrial process of continually shrinking the size of computer circuits that would later be referred to as “Moore’s Law,” after the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore.\nSpeaking of the future, he said, “Boy, are there going to be some surprises over there.”", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/technology/douglas-c-engelbart-inventor-of-the-computer-mouse-dies-at-88.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130704143741/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/technology/douglas-c-engelbart-inventor-of-the-computer-mouse-dies-at-88.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0" } ]

Philadelphia's lone goal came in the third period, when scored at the 5:20 mark. Centers and provides assists on the goal. Unlike the first game, this one was marked by impressive defensive efforts from both sides. Chicago goalkeeper made 32 saves, earning the Player-of-the-Game honor from the National Hockey League. His counterpart, who was pulled in Game 1 after giving up five goals, collected 24 saves. "It's unbelievable feeling how the people react," Niemi said after the game, according to the Associated Press. "Defense was the key." Flyers coach also acknowledged Niemi, who collected 14 of his 32 saves in the third period. "I thought their goaltender played extremely well in the third period. We had more than enough looks to tie up that game," Laviolette said, according to the Associated Press. After a fairly clean game on Saturday, Game 2 had a decided edge, which resulted in ten penalties. Neither team capitalized on their power play opportunities. At the 17:27 mark of the first period, three players were sent off: Chicago's Game 1 hero for roughing, with Philadelphia's Richards and going to the box of elbowing and unsportsmanlike conduct, respectively. Chicago and Philadelphia continue the best-of-seven series on Wednesday night at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center. The Stanley Cup will determine the 2009–10 National Hockey League champion after the top 16 teams earned the right to compete in the postseason. The NHL has 30 teams in the United States and Canada and attracts many international players.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Flyers at Blackhawks", "text": "Niemi shuts the door as Hawks take 2-0 series lead\nFor the last two months, the Chicago Blackhawks have been talking about how calm and composed Antti Niemi remains when the pressure is pounding on him.The Finnish goalie proved it again Monday with a series-changing rebound effort that might have put him in the lead for the Conn Smythe Trophy after his sub-par -- yet still victorious -- outing two nights earlier dropped him down a peg or two.Niemi made 32 saves as the Blackhawks rode him and a pair of lightning-quick goals from Marian Hossa and Ben Eager late in the second period to a 2-1 victory and a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final over the homeward bound Philadelphia Flyers \"He doesn't get rattled easily,\" Hawks center Patrick Sharp said of Niemi. \"He seems to play his best in big games and we have a few more big ones coming up.\"Wachovia Center will no doubt be rocking for Game 3 on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET, Versus, CBC, RDS), and the Flyers should feel good going home considering they are 7-1 in their building during the playoffs. But the Blackhawks have won seven straight road games, too.Two more and they'll have their first Stanley Cup championship since 1961.\"You're in the Stanley Cup Finals and I don't think you should get comfortable at all,\" Hawks center John Madden warned. \"These guys came back from 3-0 against Boston, so we're not taking anything lightly. We're not leaving any stone unturned.\"Flyers goalie Michael Leighton , who started despite getting pulled in the second period of Game 1, wrapped a strong game around goals by the previous snake-bit Hossa and Eager, the fourth-liner who was getting a rare first-line shift.Leighton made 24 saves but couldn't stop Hossa at the right post on a rebound goal with 2:51 to play in the second and said he never saw Eager's wrist shot from the top of the right circle 28 seconds later. The puck went through defenseman Matt Carle , over Leighton's catching glove and into the near corner.\"Obviously I saw it when it went through my D-man,\" Leighton said. \"I'm not saying he's an Alex Ovechkin, but that is how he scores a lot of his goals; he drags it and then uses the 'D' as a screen.\"The goal was Eager's first of the playoffs and only his second in 33 career postseason games. Ironically, his only other goal, vs. Vancouver on May 2, 2009, also was a game-winner.\"(I've) been working pretty hard this postseason. It was definitely a nice feeling to see that one go in,\" Eager said. \"It was a big shift before us. 'Hoss' scored a big goal and really got the bench going. We got out there next and got a nice bounce.\" Simon Gagne cut into Chicago's lead with a power-play goal 5:20 into the third period. His one-timer deflected off Brent Seabrook and fluttered past Niemi. The Flyers put the pressure on for the rest of the period, but Niemi was simply too good.After giving up five goals on 32 shots in Game 1 -- the second time he allowed five goals in a game in the playoffs -- Niemi came back with several sparkling glove and pad saves in Game 2 to preserve the win and get a huge ovation when it was done.The opening of Niemi's walk-off interview with Comcast SportsNet was drowned out by the roaring crowd that was chanting his name. Niemi looked like he was in a state of shock.\"It's an unbelievable feeling how the people react to our game,\" he said.It's just as unbelievable how he reacts to the situation.Before the Hawks grabbed their 2-0 lead, Niemi flashed some serious leather with dazzling glove saves on Daniel Carcillo Mike Richards and Arron Asham all within five minutes in the second. He also stoned Richards on a breakaway earlier in the period.\"That one on Asham in the second period I thought was incredible,\" Madden said. \"I was coming onto the ice and I saw Ash teeing it up. He got everything into that one and Niemi didn't flinch. It was a pretty serious save.\"Niemi made 15 saves in the second and 14 more in the third after facing only three shots in the first period.Gagne had a chance to make it 2-2 with 7:40 to play, but Niemi got his left pad across the crease in time to stop him at the right post. It was his 26th save of the night.\"I know he wasn't happy letting in five goals, but he played a great third period in Game 1 (six saves on six shots) and stood on his head today,\" Sharp said. \"Philly had a lot of chances in the third and he was making great saves. He's a confident goalie back there.\"Hossa had been playing with confidence and determination up front despite his eight-game goalless drought. When he scored you could almost see the tension fall off him.Hossa pumped his fists low and then raised them up, looked to the rafters and let out a primal scream.\"It bugged me, definitely,\" Hossa said of his drought. \"I tried not to get frustrated, but it's in your head, you know. I was waiting for some just garbage goal.\"He got it, but the Flyers are partially to blame -- and, depending on how you look at it, perhaps coach Peter Laviolette deserves a hit, too.Laviolette gambled by having his third defensive pair of Lukas Krajicek and Oskars Bartulis on the ice against Hossa, Sharp and Troy Brouwer . While Brouwer was battling in front with Bartulis, Hossa beat Krajicek to the puck in order to score the goal. Sharp had the initial shot from the high slot.\"We have trust in all of our defensemen out there,\" Laviolette said. \"We look to keep them away from certain people if we can, but our coverage was there. We had man-on-man.\"On the very next shift, the Flyers turned the puck over in the neutral zone. Dustin Byfuglien found Eager and he cashed in. Niemi did the rest.\"His disposition is very laid back, very quiet, very unassuming,\" Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said of the goalie. \"You've got to commend his attitude and his preparation. At the same time, that's just the way he is.\" Brent Sopel and Niklas Hjalmarsson were hemmed in the defensive zone for roughly 90 seconds after the Flyers pulled goalie Michael Leighton for an extra skater late in the third period. Even though they were exhausted, the five Hawks were able to keep the shots mostly to the outside -- and Antti Niemi did the rest to preserve Chicago’s 2-1 lead during the 6-on-5 situation.", "url": "http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2009030412", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100603201525/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2009030412" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Flyers at Blackhawks", "text": "NHL.com is the official web site of the National Hockey League.

Instead of cleaning the ice as he once did in his native Finland to make a few extra bucks, he's clearing away pucks and hoping to help the Chicago Blackhawks hoist the Stanley Cup.\nNiemi made 14 of his 32 saves in the third period and Chicago beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead. Game 3 is Wednesday night and Game 4 is Friday, both in Philadelphia.\nThis was a different game from the opener when Niemi let in five goals in the Blackhawks' 6-5 win.\n``I think our 'D' played maybe a little bit better in front of the net in blocking shots and letting me see the puck,'' Niemi said. ``But it's always a little bit about the luck, too, how you see the puck, and how it bounces.''\nGame 2 took on a different tone from the outset.\nDefenses were tightened. Bodies were flying and tempers flaring. There was one striking similarity - Chicago's young stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane again failed to account for a point, but the Blackhawks still won.\nIt was Niemi's last-period performance that really brought the raucous crowd to its feet when the puck finally slid down the ice and the Flyers wouldn't score in the final 1:44 after pulling goalie Michael Leighton for an extra attacker.\nThey chanted Niemi's name and nearly drowned out an on-ice interview.\n``It's unbelievable feeling how the people react,'' Niemi said. ``Defense was the key.''\nChicago broke the scoreless tie when Marian Hossa and Ben Eager scored 28 seconds apart late in the second period against Michael Leighton.\nAnd after the Flyers got a power-play goal from Simon Gagne early in the third, Niemi withstood a furious late flurry from the Flyers to preserve Chicago's seventh straight win.\n``I thought their goaltender played extremely well in the third period. We had more than enough looks to tie up that game,'' Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said.\nNiemi is 14-4 in the playoffs. Monday night's win was one of his toughest, especially with the Flyers peppering him late.\nHe has had the ability to follow a bad game during the playoffs with a good one.\n``It's a great thing that it's been that way. I want to keep it that way later, too,'' he said. ``But maybe it comes out of how I feel after the bad game or game allowing five or four goals. I don't know how it happens.''\nHis teammates have a nickname for the 6-foot-2 Niemi, who at age 26 is playing in his first NHL season.\n``We call him the octopus because he's got arms and legs going everywhere,'' Chicago forward Adam Burish said. ``He was special tonight. Niemi was unbelievable in that third period. Some of the pucks, I don't know how he saw them.''\nPatrick Sharp fired a shot from the left circle, and after Leighton stopped it and with Chicago's Troy Brouwer battling for the puck, Hossa poked it in from the left side with 2:51 left in the second. Hossa, in his third straight Stanley Cup finals with a different team, got his third goal of the playoffs and first since May 5 against Vancouver in the conference semifinals.\n``It bugged me definitely,'' Hossa said of his goal drought. ``I tried not to get frustrated but I was waiting for something. Like I said, a garbage goal.''\nJust 28 seconds later with the crowd still abuzz, Dustin Byfuglien made a steal and passed the puck to fourth-line forward Eager. Eager skated to the right circle and unleashed a shot that beat Leighton high on the glove side to make it 2-0.\nIt was the first goal of the playoffs for Eager, a former Flyers forward, who did some yapping with defenseman Chris Pronger after the game.\n``I don't speak that language, whatever he was speaking,'' Pronger said.\n``Nothing, really, Just a postgame chat, it was nothing,'' Eager said. ``He's just been picking the pucks up after the game. Told him he could keep it.''\nPhiladelphia broke through with 1 second left on a power play when Gagne scored from the left circle.\nGagne nearly chipped in a tying rebound about 7 minutes later, but was denied by Niemi's pad in close.\nLeighton, who was drafted by the Blackhawks and played parts of two seasons for them, got the nod despite being pulled in Game 1 after yielding five goals on 20 shots. He made 24 saves Monday.\n``We had a little turnover at the blue line. I talked to Matt Carle about it. He said his gap wasn't as good as he wanted it to be, so it allowed him to walk in,'' Leighton said of Eager's goal. ``I just didn't see him release the puck. He made a good shot.''\nHossa's shot went off his pad, and Hossa flipped it in. ``Just a tough bouncer,'' Leighton said.\nTrying to get more punch, the Flyers inserted forward Daniel Carcillo into the lineup. A scratch the last three games and known for his agitating style, Carcillo was the team leader in playoff penalty minutes (30) entering the game and joined Philadelphia captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter on a first line that had been pointless in the opener.\nCarcillo replaced Gagne to start the game - Gagne later returned to the top line - and immediately began to mix things up. He took a run at Chicago's Tomas Kopecky and inadvertently flattened teammate Carter.\nThe Flyers were called for their first penalty of the series with 5:12 left in the opening period, bringing out a loud roar from the crowd as the Blackhawks went on a power play for the first time in nearly 75 minutes. They couldn't score.\nAbout three minutes later, Chicago went on another power play when there were three penalties called simultaneously - two on the Flyers with Carcillo being sent to the box for unsportsmanlike conduct.\nBut the Blackhawks couldn't convert, and the first period ended scoreless, quite a contrast from Game 1 when there were five goals in the opening 20 minutes. Outshot 17-9 in the first period of the opener, the Blackhawks had a 9-3 advantage in the rematch.\nOne of Chicago's best scoring chances came in front of the net as Toews tried to punch the puck in before he was wedged out by Pronger, who then shoved his Olympic teammate into the boards, prompting an angry exchange.\nNiemi used his right pad to stop Richards on a breakaway at 7:35 of the second, preserving the scoreless tie. And moments later, Leighton responded with a nice save on Duncan Keith in the slot after a good pass from Sharp.\nNiemi then twice made stops on hard shots from Carcillo and another from Richards, but Leighton did the same against Hossa and Dave Bolland. One of Niemi's best stops came with a stretched-out glove save against Arron Asham, prompting chants of ``Ant-ti Ant-ti'' from the crowd of 22,275.\nThe Flyers had three leads in the opener, weren't called for a penalty, held Chicago's top line scoreless and still lost.\nNOTES: The Stanley Cup finals record for home teams that sweep the first two games is 31-2. In 1971, Chicago won the first two games at home but lost to Montreal in seven. In 2009, Detroit won the first two games at home but lost to Pittsburgh in seven. ...

Südafrika erlaubt Abschuss von Elefanten
Elefant: Zum Abschuss freigegeben Nach mehrjährigen Debatten hat der südafrikanische Umweltminister Marthinus van Schalkwyk am Montag, dem 25. Februar, eine „Verordnung zum Elefanten-Management in Südafrika“ vorgelegt, durch die das gezielte Abschießen der Dickhäuter in Nationalparks und Wildreservaten erstmals seit 1994 wieder erlaubt wird. Der Verkauf von Elfenbein soll allerdings verboten bleiben. Van Schalkwyk betont, es sei keineswegs beabsichtigt, „eine Massenschlachtung zu beginnen“. Die Abschussfreigabe sei „nur ein Instrument der Bestandskontrolle ist, der letzte Ausweg“. Weitere Maßnahmen, um das Populationswachstum einzuschränken, wie Umsiedlung, Geburtenkontrolle und die Ausweisung größerer Parks, seien geplant. Außerdem sollen die Abschussquoten nicht erhöht werden. Nach Angaben von Professor Bob Scholes, Systemökologe am halbstaatlichen Institut für Wissenschaftliche und Industrielle Forschung (CSIR), Leiter einer wissenschaftlichen Studie zum so genannten Elefanten-Management, gibt es in Südafrika derzeit ungefähr 18.000 Elefanten, von den allein 14.000 im Krüger-Nationalpark leben. Damit habe sich der Zahl der Individuen seit 1994 verdoppelt. Abschussbefürworter verweisen auf die großen Schäden, die die Pflanzenfresser anrichten können. Tierschützer protestieren gegen die Aufhebung des Tötungsverbotes und drohen mit einem Aufruf zu einem Reiseboykott und mit einer Klage gegen die neue Verordnung.

Eine Massenschlachtung soll so verhindert werden.\nVon Claus Stäcker, ARD-Hörfunkstudio Johannesburg\n[Bildunterschrift: Gestattet den Elefanten-Abschuss: Südafrikas Umweltminister Marthinus van Schalkwyk ]\nSüdafrika hebt zum 1. Mai sein Moratorium zur Elefantenjagd auf. Das geht aus der \"Verordnung zum Elefanten-Management in Südafrika\" hervor, die Umweltminister Marthinus van Schalkwyk nach mehrjähriger, teils hitziger Debatte nun vorgelegt hat. Der gezielte Abschuss von Dickhäutern wird damit nach 14 Jahren wieder möglich, allerdings nur unter strengen Auflagen, betonte van Schalkwyk: \"In einigen Gebieten Südafrikas wird der Abschuss von Elefanten nötig sein, daran habe ich keinerlei Zweifel, denn dafür haben wir ja diese Politik entwickelt. Aber wir haben keineswegs die Absicht, eine Massenschlachtung zu beginnen. Ich bin überzeugt dass die zuständigen nationalen Behörden und die regionalen Parkmanager begreifen, dass dies nur ein Instrument der Bestandskontrolle ist, der letzte Ausweg. Wir werden sorgsam damit sein, aber wir werden töten.\"\nÜberzeugende Management-Pläne nötig\nZu den Auflagen gehört, dass der entsprechende Park, sei es ein Nationalpark oder ein privates Wildreservat, einen überzeugenden Management-Plan vorlegen muss, der auch alle anderen Maßnahmen zur Bestandskontrolle von Elefanten berücksichtigt - wie Umsiedlung oder Verhütung. Bei den Nationalparks hat der Umweltminister selbst das letzte Wort. Der Minister betonte, dass Südafrika weder das Washingtoner Artenschutzabkommen CITES aushebeln noch den Weg zu einem Wiederaufleben des Elfenbeinhandels frei machen wolle.\n[Bildunterschrift: In Südafrika künftig nicht mehr geschützt: Afrikanische Elefanten ]\n\"Die wertvollen Stoßzähne werden wie bisher eingelagert und wenn neue CITES-Verhandlungen anstehen, werden wir über einen Teilverkauf sprechen - aber wir wollen dieses Tor nicht wieder aufstoßen, das will ich ganz klar sagen\", so van Schalkwyk. Bisher erlaubt das CITES-Abkommen Südafrika erst 2015 wieder einen Verkauf seiner Elfenbeinbestände. Van Schalkwyk stellte zudem klar, dass auch Großwildjäger nicht von einem Abschuss profitieren werden. Die Jagdquoten blieben unverändert, sagte er.\nZahl der Elefanten hat sich verdoppelt\nDer Verordnung waren jahrelange emotionale Debatten, aber auch ein sorgfältiger wissenschaftlicher Evaluierungsprozess vorausgegangen, der einige Hauptargumente für den Abschuss entkräftet hatte. Der leitende Wissenschaftler, Professor Bob Scholes, Systemökologe am halbstaatlichen Institut für Wissenschaftliche und Industrielle Forschung (CSIR) gibt sich gegenüber dem ARD-Hörfunk überzeugt: \"Die Verordnung folgt weitgehend unseren wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen. Südafrika hat etwa 18.000 Dickhäuter, davon allein 14.000 im Krüger Nationalpark. Die Zahl der Jumbos hat sich seit 1994 verdoppelt.\"\nAbschussbefürworter verweisen auf die großen Schäden, die die Mega-Pflanzenfresser an der Flora hinterlassen, dennoch findet Professor Scholes: \"Nimmt man alle Erkenntnisse zusammen, ist es sehr unwahrscheinlich, dass es im Krüger-Park in absehbarer Zeit zu Elefantenschlachtungen größeren Ausmaßes kommt.\"\nStand: 25.02.2008 21:42 Uhr", "url": "http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/suedafrika10.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20091204040737/http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/suedafrika10.html" } ]

Norwegian police lower death toll in massacre
Flowers in front of the the day after the attacks. Norwegian police have revised their estimate of total deaths in Friday's attacks on and , now reporting that an estimated total of 76 people were killed, rather than the 93 previously reported. Of these, 68 were in Utøya and eight were from the bombing in Oslo. The police have not yet been willing to give a final figure for the death toll. "This figure could still go up," said National Police Commissioner Oeystein Maeland. "The search for bodies is ongoing." Previously significantly higher death tolls had been reported from the shootings on the island of Utøya, but were revised downwards. Maeland explained that the situation on Friday was "chaotic" and that some bodies may have been counted twice as police focused on helping the injured. Meanwhile the toll from the bombing in the centre of Oslo that took place hours earlier was revised upwards from seven to eight.

Declaring he wanted to save Europe from “Muslim domination,” he entered a plea of not guilty that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly.\nNorway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breivik’s paranoid and disturbing writings. Hundreds thronged the courthouse, hoping to get their first glimpse of the man blamed for the deaths of 76 people — lowered Monday from 93. At one point, a car drove through the crowd and onlookers beat it with their fists, thinking Breivik might be inside.\nStill tens of thousands of Norwegians also defied his rhetoric of hate to gather in central Oslo to mourn the victims and lay thousands of flowers around the city.\nPolice believe Breivik, 32, acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders. But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices.\nJudge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to “two more cells within our organization.” In an interview published Monday, Breivik’s estranged father said he wished his son had killed himself instead of unleashing his rage on innocent people.\nThe outpouring of emotion stood in stark contrast to what prosecutor Christian Hatlo described as Breivik’s calm demeanor at the hearing, which was closed to the public over security concerns and to prevent a public airing of his extremist views. Hatlo said he “seemed unaffected by what has happened.” Meanwhile, police revealed they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in the shooting spree on Utoya island, lowering the death toll there from 86 to 68. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said police and rescuers were focused on helping survivors and securing the area, and may have counted some bodies twice, though he did not immediately explain how the errors occurred.\nPolice also raised the toll from a bombing outside the government’s headquarters in Oslo from seven to eight.\nThe sharp reduction in the death toll adds to a list of police missteps: They took 90 minutes to arrive at the island retreat after the first shot and survivors who called emergency services reported being told to stay off the lines unless they were calling about the Oslo bombings.\nOn Monday, the force revealed its entire Oslo helicopter crew had been sent on vacation and thus couldn’t be mobilized to the scene.\nBy contrast, Breivik, who donned a police uniform as part of a ruse to draw campers to him, appeared in total control during the island rampage, police official Odd Reidar Humlegaard said.\n“He’s been merciless,” Humlegaard said.\nAuthorities say Breivik used two weapons during the island attack — both bought legally, according to his manifesto. A doctor treating victims told The Associated Press the gunman used illegal “dum-dum”-style bullets designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum internal damage.\nBreivik faces 21 years in prison for the terrorism charges, but he has told authorities he never expects to be released. While 21 years is the stiffest sentence a Norwegian judge can hand down, a special sentence can be given to prisoners deemed a danger to society who are locked up for 20-year sentences that can be renewed indefinitely.\nOslo began to get back to normal Monday, with shops opening and the tram running.\nThe entire country paused for a minute of silence in honor of the victims, then later in the day, 150,000 people filled the city’s streets to mourn the dead with a rose vigil that ended in the heart of the city. Afterward, entire streets were awash in flowers; roses also decorated the fences that blocked off Friday’s bomb site.\nCrown Prince Haakon spoke “of a street being filled with love,” bringing his wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, to tears. “We have the power to meet hate with togetherness. We have chosen what we stand for,” he said.\nBreivik has pilloried Norway’s openness and embrace of immigrants, saying his attacks were intended to start a revolution to inspire Norwegians to retake their country from Muslims. He blames liberals for championing multiculturalism over Norway’s “indigenous” culture.\n“The operation was not to kill as many people as possible but to give a strong signal that could not be misunderstood that as long as the Labor Party keeps driving its ideological lie and keeps deconstructing Norwegian culture and mass importing Muslims, then they must assume responsibility for this treason,” according to the English translation of Judge Heger’s ruling.\nBreivik has claimed the killings were meant to wake people up to these problems and to serve as “marketing” for his manifesto.\nHeger, however, denied Breivik the public stage he wanted to air his extremist views by closing Monday’s court hearing and ordering him cut off from the world for eight weeks, without access to visitors, mail or media. For four of those, he will be in complete isolation. Typically, the accused is brought to court every four weeks while prosecutors prepare their case, so a judge can approve his continued detention. Longer periods are not unusual in serious cases.\nIn the court appearance, Breivik alluded to two other “cells” of his network — which he refers to in his manifesto as a new “Knights Templar,” the medieval cabal of crusaders who protected Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land.\nIn the treatise, he describes being invited to join the group, which he says is dedicated to “anti-jihad,” and claims members held meetings in London and the Baltics. Afterward, he says, they vowed not to contact one another and to instead plan their “resistance” on their own.\nBut they were also to space out their attacks, he wrote. “We should avoid any immediate follow-up attacks as it would negate the shock effect of the subsequent attacks. A large successful attack every 5-12 years was optimal,” he wrote.\nAt one point, his manifesto briefly referred to an intention to contact two other cells, but no details were given.\nEuropean security officials said they were aware of increased Internet chatter from individuals claiming they belonged to the Knights Templar and were investigating claims that Breivik, and other far-right individuals, attended a London meeting of the group in 2002.\nIn his manifesto, Breivik describes how he bought armor, guns, tons of fertilizer and other bomb components, stashed caches of weapons and wiped clean his computer hard drive — all while evading police suspicion.\nOne of those purchases apparently was flagged by Norway’s police security service. The service said it was alerted in March to a suspicious purchase by Breivik from a Polish chemical firm.\nAgency chief Janne Kristiansen told national broadcaster NRK the 120 kroner ($22) purchase of an undisclosed product set off an alert as part of a broader look at the company. But the transaction was legal and the security service would have needed additional information to investigate further.\nIn his manifesto, Breivik describes a purchase of sodium nitrite from Poland, saying he “was concerned about customs seizing the package.” It was not clear if that was the purchase flagged.\nMeanwhile, in an interview with Swedish tabloid Expressen, the suspect’s father said he was ashamed and disgusted by his son’s acts and wished he had committed suicide.\n“I don’t feel like his father,” said Jens David Breivik, a former Norwegian diplomat, from his secluded home in southern France. “How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK? He should have taken his own life too. That’s what he should have done.” The elder Breivik said he first learned the news of his son’s attacks from media websites. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was totally paralyzing and I couldn’t really understand it.” “I will have to live with this shame for the rest of my life. People will always link me with him,” he said.\nThe elder Breivik said he severed all contact with his son in 1995, when the latter was 16.\nPolice surrounded the suspect’s father’s house in the south of France on Monday, initially saying they were searching the premises. Later, they said they were there to ensure public order.\n—— DiLorenzo reported from Stockholm.

Un estudio encuentra que los animales no logran adaptarse al ritmo del cambio climático
El papamoscas cerrojillo ('''') es una de las especies analizadas en el estudio. Un estudio publicado hace unos días en '''' encontró que, en muchos casos, los animales no se adaptan al o los cambios son insuficientes para enfrentar el ritmo de aumento de la temperatura. El trabajo es de un grupo de investigadores que estudió varias publicaciones científicas para analizar la respuesta de varios animales a los cambios climáticos. Encontraron unos 5000 estudios con más de 1400 especies que analizaban la evolución de las temperaturas y modificaciones en determinadas características o patrones de conducta de los animales. Tales cambios serían el adelanto del periodo de cría o del de migración. En este sentido, el señala que la respuesta más común al cambio climático es el «cambio fenológico en eventos biológicos», tales como la reproducción, la migración o la hibernación. El estudio reveló que no hay confirmación de cambios morfológicos por el aumento de la temperatura, pero sí hay cambios fenológicos y adaptaciones conductuales. Sin embargo, esos cambios no son suficientes para enfrentar el ritmo acelerado de cambio climático. Según indicó la investigadora del trabajo Viktoriia Radchuk, se centraron en las aves por tener escasos datos de otros grupos. «Demostramos que, en las regiones templadas, las temperaturas en aumento están asociadas a variaciones en la cronología de los eventos biológicos. En concreto, estos eventos se adelantan en el tiempo», aseveró. Entre las especies analizadas están aves abundantes y comunes como el carbonero común (''''), papamoscas cerrojillo ('''') y la urraca común (''''). Por su parte, el investigador Jesús Miguel Avilés, también involucrado en el estudio señala que una aplicación práctica es «la necesidad de llevar cabo análisis de selección de este tipo para identificar el riesgo real de extinción de las especies». Falta el análisis de las respuestas de especies raras o amenazadas porque podrían ser aún más limitadas y sus poblaciones verse más afectadas.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "Los animales no pueden seguir el ritmo del cambio climático", "text": "El cambio climático va demasiado deprisa para los seres vivos. Los intentos de adaptarse se producen en todos los órdenes de la vida: Con el aumento de la temperatura, hay árboles que están emigrando cada vez más al norte o escalando cotas más altas de las montañas. Muchas aves están adelantando sus migraciones y los peces se están desplazando hacia el norte. Pero los pocos estudios lo suficientemente longevos que hay muestran que son pocas las especies que sacan partido del calentamiento global.\nUn grupo de investigadores, entre ellos varios españoles, han revisado las publicaciones científicas que han estudiado la respuesta de los distintos animales al aumento de las temperaturas provocadas por el cambio climático en curso. Encontraron casi 5.000 estudios con datos de más de 1.400 especies en los que se recogían la conexión entre evolución de las temperaturas y cambios en determinadas características o patrones de conducta de los distintos animales, como adelanto del periodo de cría o el de las migraciones.\n\"Con esta base de datos podemos decir cómo ha afectado la temperatura a las características. Por ejemplo, mostramos que, a lo largo de muchos taxones, el tempo de los diversos eventos biológicos se ha adelantado a medida que las temperaturas iban subiendo en las últimas décadas\", explica en un correo la investigadora del Instituto Leibniz para la Investigación de la Vida Salvaje y Zoológica (IZW, con sede en Berlín) y principal autora del estudio, Viktoriia Radchuk. \"Pero este conjunto de datos no podía contarnos nada sobre si estas respuestas de las especies son adaptativas, es decir, si se traducen en alguna ventaja de adaptación, como un mayor número de crías sacadas adelante\", añade.\nMuchas especies han adelantado el fin de la hibernación, las migraciones o la época de cría\nPara poder determinar si un cambio es adaptativo o no, hace falta trabajar durante décadas con las mismas poblaciones. Por eso, apenas hay estudios que respondan a esta última cuestión. Solo encontraron 71 trabajos sobre menos de veinte especies, la mayoría aves. Investigadores españoles de la Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas (EEZA-CSIC) aportaron sus investigaciones con tres de ellas: la carraca (Coracias garrulus), el autillo (Otus scops) y la urraca (Pica pica) en la zona Guadix- Baza, en el interior de Granada.\n\"Lo primero que hemos constatado en nuestra zona de estudio es que la temperatura no ha aumentado de manera significativa durante los años que venimos estudiando a estas especies\", comenta el investigador de la EEZA Jesús Miguel Avilés. \"Sin embargo, sí hemos observado que las carracas y autillos han avanzado su fecha de puesta, cada año ponen los huevos antes, pero no así las urracas que no han modificado su fenología durante estos últimos años\", añade. Este adelantamiento de la fecha de puesta no conlleva beneficios al autillo porque no tiene mayor descendencia cuando crían más pronto, mientras que las carracas sí tienen más pollos al adelantar la reproducción.\nampliar foto Para saber si hay respuesta adaptativa al cambio climático hace falta estudiar las poblaciones durante muchas generaciones, como los 54 años que ya lleva el estudio de las gaviotas de pico rojo de la península Kaikoura Peninsula, en Nueva Zelanda. Deborah A. Mills\nEl estudio, publicado en Nature Communications, no ha encontrado confirmación de que las especies estén experimentando cambios morfológicos por la presión selectiva del aumento de la temperatura. Pero sí cambios fenológicos, adaptaciones de patrones de conducta de su ciclo vital, en general en forma de adelantamiento de los eventos de ese ciclo, como el fin de la hibernación o el inicio del periodo de apareamiento y cría. Pero estas adaptaciones no siguen el ritmo del cambio climático.\n\"Vemos que algunas poblaciones cambian demasiado poco a poco, por lo que enfrentan un riesgo de extinción en un relativamente corto espacio de tiempo\", sostiene en un correo el biólogo evolutivo del IZW y coautor del estudio Alexandre Courtiol.\nAún más preocupante es el hecho de que los datos disponibles se refieren a especies relativamente comunes y abundantes, como el carbonero común, el corzo o la urraca, que están sobrellevando mejor el impacto climático. \"Las respuestas adaptativas entre las especies más raras o amenazadas aún están por investigar\", dice en una nota Stephanie Kramer-Schadt, también del IZW, y añade: \"Tememos que las previsiones de mantenimiento de las poblaciones de estas especies claves para la conservación sean aún más pesimistas\".", "url": "https://elpais.com/elpais/2019/07/26/ciencia/1564126974_885928.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20190730100010/https://elpais.com/elpais/2019/07/26/ciencia/1564126974_885928.html" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Los animales no logran adaptarse a la velocidad del cambio climático", "text": "Un equipo internacional de científicos, con participación del CSIC, ha analizado los cambios morfológicos y las alteraciones en los ciclos biólogicos de los animales en respuesta al aumento de las temperaturas.

Un equipo internacional de científicos, con participación de investigadores del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), ha evaluado más de 10.000 artículos científicos que relacionan los cambios en el clima de los últimos años con las posibles variaciones en los rasgos fenológicos (cambios en los ciclos biológicos) y morfológicos de las especies.\nEn la fauna, la respuesta más común al cambio climático es un cambio fenológico en eventos biológicos como la hibernación, la reproducción o las migraciones\nEl trabajo, que se publica hoy en la revista Nature Communications, indica que la adaptación de los animales al cambio climático no se da en muchos casos y que los cambios son generalmente insuficientes para hacer frente al vertiginoso ritmo de aumento de las temperaturas.\nEn la fauna, la respuesta más común al cambio climático es un cambio fenológico en eventos biológicos como la hibernación, la reproducción o las migraciones. Las alteraciones en el tamaño y la masa corporales y en otros rasgos morfológicos también se han asociado generalmente al cambio climático. No obstante, como confirma ahora este estudio, no muestran un patrón sistemático.\nTras revisar la literatura científica existente, los investigadores comprobaron si los cambios en los rasgos observados estaban asociados a una mayor supervivencia o a un aumento en el número de la descendencia. Una combinación de técnicas de metaanálisis y análisis de selección sobre rasgos del fenotipo mostró que “existe una selección consistente hacia una reproducción más temprana, lo que no supone una ventaja adaptativa”, recalcan los autores.\nUna respuesta adaptativa incompleta\n“Nuestro trabajo se ha centrado en las aves porque los datos en otros grupos eran escasos. Demostramos que, en las regiones templadas, las temperaturas en aumento están asociadas a variaciones en la cronología de los eventos biológicos.

European Court of Human Rights orders UK to compensate Islamist
The European Court of Human Rights has awarded €2500 to Abu Qatada, an Islamic militant and cleric, in a lawsuit he filed against the United Kingdom which detained him without trial in 2002. Qatada, who is facing extradition to Jordan to serve a life sentence for terrorism charges, and 10 others were detained under Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. This act allowed foreign nationals suspected of terrorism to be detained, before being repealed in 2004 due to its discriminatory nature. The ECHR's ruling determined the decision to detain Qatada under this law breached the 'right to liberty and security' secured in the European Convention of Human Rights. The British government claimed they believed the people detained were "a threat to our national security." Some British politicians also objected to paying compensation to people believed to be terrorists. Matthew Elliot, a lobbyist for the Taxpayers' Alliance, argued: "This man hates everything Britain stands for, so it is disgusting that ordinary taxpayers are now forced to pay him thousands of pounds." Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary commented: "This decision will horrify most reasonable people in the UK … it makes a mockery of the concept of human rights if we can't protect ourselves against people who are out to destroy our society."

Five law lords ruled that he could be deported to Jordan in spite of fears he may be tortured.\nToday, the European judges ruled that his detention and that of 10 others, who were held in Belmarsh prison under anti-terror laws introduced after 9/11, had violated the human rights convention.\nThe government had claimed the new terror threat after the US attacks warranted special legislation, including detaining and expelling non-nationals believed to have been involved in terrorism.\nIn their ruling, the judges said the detainees' cash compensation was \"substantially lower\" than in previous cases of \"unlawful detention\". This was because they recognised that the government's detention scheme was \"devised in the face of a public emergency, and as an attempt to reconcile the need to protect the UK public against terrorism with the obligation not to send the applicants back to countries where they faced a real risk of ill-treatment\".\nQatada claimed compensation for: his loss of liberty between 23 October 2002 and 11 March 2005, when he was freed on bail under a control order; the mental suffering he endured; and the distress caused to his wife and children.\nHe had asked for £170,000 in damages, plus £4,570 to cover money sent to him in prison by his wife, and her costs of moving house to avoid unwanted media attention.\nIn total, the government was ordered to pay around £26,000 to the detainees, plus £53,000 in legal costs. The money must be paid within three months.\nThe highest award of £3,450 went to the longest imprisoned detainee – who was incarcerated for three years and 83 days. Two claimants, a Frenchman and a Moroccan, received no compensation.\nThe court said the men's detention violated three provisions of the human rights convention: the right to liberty and security; the right to have the lawfulness of detention decided by a court; and the right to compensation for unlawful detention. The judges rejected a fourth complaint, that the men's detention amounted to \"torture and inhuman or degrading treatment\".\nThe judges said that when someone was detained on the basis of \"an allegedly reasonable suspicion of unlawful behaviour\", that person must be given an opportunity to challenge the allegations. They said the suspects' conditions of detention had not reached the \"high threshold\" of inhuman and degrading treatment for which a human rights violation could be found. However, the rules had \"discriminated unjustifiably\" between British nationals and non-nationals, targeting only non-British citizens.\nThe men were detained under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, which enabled the home secretary to detain foreign nationals suspected of terrorism. In 2004, the House of Lords said that part of the act discriminated against people on the grounds of nationality or immigration status. The government then used that as justification for extending its powers of detention through the introduction of control orders, to the whole of the British people, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005.\nThe home secretary, Jacqui Smith, said today's judgment was based on \"historic\" legislation repealed four years ago and had been replaced with \"a twin-track approach of deportation with assurances for foreign nationals and control orders for those whom we cannot prosecute or deport\".\nThe new policy had been upheld by the highest court in Britain as being compatible with our international obligations, said Smith. She added: \"These [11] men have all been found by our courts to present a threat to our national security. We argued strongly to the European court that compensation should not be awarded to such individuals. While I am very disappointed with any award, I recognise the court has made substantially lower awards than these men sought in view of the fact these measures were devised in the face of a public emergency.\"\nThe shadow home secretary, Chris Grayling, said: \"This decision will horrify most reasonable people in the UK. It shows just how incompetent the government has been at managing the problem of preachers of hate and, frankly, it makes a mockery of the concept of human rights if we can't protect ourselves against people who are out to destroy our society.\"\nQatada, 48, a father of five who came to Britain in 1993 on a forged passport, is being held in Belmarsh. He was first held in 2002 when an immigration court described him as a \"truly dangerous individual\". The Special Immigration Appeals Commission said he had given religious authority to numerous high-profile terrorists across the world, including those behind the September 11 attacks. He was later bailed but placed under a control order.\nIn 2005, Qatada was arrested in preparation for his deportation to Jordan but again released on appeal. He was returned to prison in November for fear he may abscond. The court of appeal backed his case against deportation but the law lords yesterday authorised his deportation to Jordan to face terror charges. However the cleric's legal team has lodged an appeal at the European court of human rights. The appeal process could take as long as two years.\nQatada has issued a series of influential fatwas, or religious rulings, in support of the killing of non-believers, and a number of his videos were found in the Hamburg flat of Mohammed Atta, one of the ringleaders of the September 11 hijackers.\nIn 1999, Qatada was convicted in his absence by the Jordanian courts of conspiracy to carry out bomb attacks on two hotels in Amman and for providing finance and advice for another planned series of bombings. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.", "url": "http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/feb/19/abu-qatada-compensation-european-court", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090221160251/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/feb/19/abu-qatada-compensation-european-court" } ]

School dinner costs just 49p in Wales
A survey carried out by BBC Wales has revealed that the contents of a school meal in Wales cost on average just £0.49 per pupil. Average spending on meal ingredients varied slightly from council to council; with the Cardiff City council spending just £0.40 on each meal, whilst Powys council lavished £0.69 per pupil. The survey follows a recent surge in media coverage of the eating habits of teenagers and children in the UK. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver recently embarked on a campaign to improve food standards and raise awareness in schools. In response to his campaign the government has promised to spend an additional £280 million over three years on school food in England. The survey covered twenty councils throughout Wales.
