O país asiático também anunciou hoje novas 90.802 infecções, o que também representa um novo recorde diário mundial, batendo, assim, seus próprios recordes anteriores: 90.632 novos casos em 06 de setembro e 78.761, em 30 de agosto. O recorde anterior era dos Estados Unidos, que havia registrado 77.255 em 19 de julho.
O Brasil ainda não informou os dados de hoje, o que acontecerá no final desta tarde, no entanto, com base na média da semana passada, o país deve registrar no máximo 38.500 novas infecções por hoje.

'''Índia: subnotificações e falta de leitos'''
Ao mesmo tempo, a Índia tem, em relação ao Brasil por exemplo, uma Taxa de Letalidade bem menor. No país asiático esta taxa é de cerca de 1,75%, enquanto no Brasil é de aproximadamente 3,10%. Este número, porém, pode indicar que os casos de mortes não estão sendo corretamente notificados, pois desde julho há relatos de que os hospitais não estão admitindo pacientes por falta de leitos, segundo o ''India Express''. "Sempre que um paciente Covid-19 vai a um hospital, o hospital diz que não há leitos disponíveis, portanto, ou os hospitais não estão notificando os dados corretamente ou o governo não tem controle sobre o funcionamento dos hospitais", disse o advogado Hemant Gulati ao jornal no início de julho. |
en | Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, and Peshawar, Pakistan -- A suicide bombing at a crowded courthouse in Peshawar killed 19 people Thursday, the 10th such attack in six weeks for a city bearing the brunt of retaliation from Taliban militants battling Pakistani troops along the Afghan border.Now in its fifth week, Pakistan's military offensive has succeeded in retaking much of the ground held by Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters in South Waziristan, for years the militants' primary stronghold. That success, however, has been tempered by a wave of militant attacks since early October that has claimed more than 300 lives across Pakistan.Peshawar, a city of 3 million people on the fringe of Pakistan's largely ungoverned tribal areas, has been hardest hit by the violence. Suicide bombers have struck bustling markets, police stations and checkpoints, and even the regional headquarters of the country's vaunted intelligence agency.With Thursday's strike, the death toll from the attacks around the city since early October has reached at least 247.Authorities said the attacker tried to push his way into the city's judicial complex but was stopped by police officers at the courthouse's main gate. When they tried to search him, he detonated a jacket filled with explosives, said Sahibzada Muhammad Anees, a Peshawar city official.At least three of those killed were police officers. The blast occurred about 10:30 a.m., when the building was filled with people shuttling between courtrooms. Doctors said several lawyers were among the critically injured taken to the city's Lady Reading Hospital. At least 51 people were injured.Authorities said the toll would have been far higher if the police officers at the gate had not stopped the attacker. It was the third time in five days that police in the Peshawar region kept an attacker from causing far greater loss of life. Suicide car bomb attacks Saturday and Monday occurred at police checkpoints on the outskirts of the city, which authorities believe were not the intended targets.Nevertheless, the wave of attacks has cast a pall on Peshawar, where residents are limiting their trips to markets and many parents are keeping their children home from school. Dozens of streets have been closed off with barricades.Local officials blame much of the violence in Peshawar on the national government's decision to announce its intent to launch an offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan weeks before sending troops into the region. That gave militants ample time to escape and seek refuge in places such as Peshawar's suburbs. Many of the attacks in the city are being launched from those suburbs."If you look at Peshawar, it's a hub for dozens of smaller towns," said Imtiaz Gul, a security analyst based in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. "To create a scare, the easiest place to hit is Peshawar. What you need is penetration into the militants' networks in the suburbs, and that's missing right now. We don't have the required intelligence resources. There have been arrests, but that's not enough."Authorities have beefed up security throughout the northwestern city and have begun using sophisticated explosives-detection equipment at checkpoints, but the large number of entry points to the city -- at least 110 -- makes it extremely difficult to thwart every potential bomb attack."We are facing an extraordinary situation," said Anees, the city official. "Police are there, but it's not humanly possible to check each and every person."Ali is a special correspondent. | en | Peshawar is located in the North-Western Frontier Province of PakistanA suicide bomber has killed at least 19 people around a courthouse in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan.
Witnesses said that the powerful explosion occurred during rush hour. Several security personnel and lawyers are among the victims, and doctors reported that some of those injured are in a critical condition.
"One policemen ''sic'' has been martyred and four injured in the attack," said a senior police official, Mohammad Karim Khan.
Senior police officer Sahibzada Anis, speaking to reporters, said that the suicide bomber was on foot and detonated the device when security guards stopped him for a search at the main entrance. The blast damaged several cars parked nearby. "The attacker was on foot and blew himself when guards tried to search him at the gates of the court," he said.
Thursday's suicide attack in Peshawar took place hours after missiles fired by a suspected American drone killed at least four suspected militants and wounded five others in the North Waziristan region, on the Afghan border. The area is a known stronghold of Afghan and al-Qaeda militants.
Taliban insurgents have intensified attacks in the country — particularly in and around Peshawar — after the Pakistani army launched an offensive against militant bases in South Waziristan. Officials said that since early last month more than 300 people have died in bombings and militant raids on government, civilian, and Western targets in the country. |
en | Thursday's attack was the seventh deadly explosion to hit the northwestern Pakistani city in less than two weeks. Officials said about 30 people were wounded in the attack, which occurred during rush hour when the area is normally crowded with lawyers, administrative personnel and the public.
At least 19 people have been killed in a suicide bomb blast outside the main gate of a court building in Peshawar.
Later in the day, a second attack targeted a police patrol vehicle in the city, police said.
"One policemen has been martyred and four injured in the attack," Mohammad Karim Khan, a senior police official, said.
The court building were the first blast took place is located on Khyber Road, across the street from the Pearl Continental Hotel, which was the target of a deadly bomb attack in June.
"It happened outside the judicial complex," Abdul Wali, a police officer, told the Reuters news agency.
'Attacker on foot'
Sahibzada Anees, the head of Peshawar city administration, said that a suicide bomber carried out the attack.
"The attacker was on foot and blew himself when guards tried to search him at the gates of the court," he said.
Three policemen were among the dead, Anees said.
Up to 17 bodies had been brought to Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital, Sahib Gul, the most senior official, said.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from Islamabad, said the attacker was trying to enter the court's complex when he was stopped by security personnel.
"The attack took place at 10:20am [local time] when the Khyber Road is jam packed with traffic as well as people," he said.
"As that suicide bomber tried to enter the court, the police decided to conduct a search at which point he detonated the device, with devastating consequences."
A wave of attacks have targeted police checkpoints, police stations and the provincial headquarters of Pakistan's spy agency, ISI, this month, killing dozens of people.
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for several of the attacks, but Yusuf Reza Gilani, Pakistan's prime minister, said that many of the group's commanders were on the run.
"They are using the weapons they have scattered here and there," he said.
"God willing, it will take some time, but I assure you things will return to normal soon."
The blast comes as military battles members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, one of the main anti-government groups, in the country's semi-autonomous tribal region of South Waziristan.
The military launched its offensive nearly three weeks ago, pitting about 30,000 troops against an estimated 10 to 12,000 Taliban fighters in South Waziristan. | en | Peshawar is located in the North-Western Frontier Province of PakistanA suicide bomber has killed at least 19 people around a courthouse in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan.

de | Outsourcing ist für viele Unternehmen ein Mittel, ihre Fixkosten kurzfristig zu reduzieren, um so Liquidität und Handlungsspielräume für die Gestaltung der Zukunft zu schaffen. Das 8. Entscheiderforum Outsourcing befasst sich mit der Frage, wie Outsourcing für einen nachhaltigen Unternehmenserfolg einzusetzen ist, beleuchtet unterschiedliche Sourcing-Alternativen und geht dabei speziell auf Cloud Computing ein. Aber auch Vertragsgestaltung, Compliance, IT-Security und Provider-Management werden angesprochen. Letztlich geht es darum, Outsourcing in einen gesamtwirtschaftlichen Zusammenhang einzuordnen und als kurz-, mittel- und langfristiges Instrument zur Unternehmenssteuerung zu diskutieren.
Die Outsourcing-Entscheidung im Fokus
Der Kongress adressiert Entscheider auf der Vorstands- bzw. Geschäftsleitungsebene mittlerer und großer Unternehmen; IT-Verantwortliche sowie kaufmännische Verantwortliche, die eine Outsourcing-Entscheidung treffen und mittragen.
Warum geben Unternehmen einzelne IT- und Geschäftsprozesse außer Haus? Welche wirtschaftlichen Aspekte sind dafür maßgeblich– etwa geringere Investitionen oder erhöhte Flexibilität im schwierigen wirtschaftlichen Umfeld? Welche strategischen Sourcing-Optionen existieren? Und was macht eigentlich die Kernkompetenzen eines Unternehmens aus?
In den meisten Unternehmen trifft der Vorstand oder die Geschäftsleitung die grundlegende Entscheidung für eine Sourcing-Variante. Deshalb bietet das Entscheiderforum Outsourcing kaufmännischen Top-Entscheidern eine Plattform, auf der sie auf Augenhöhe mit Kollegen und Experten – Anbietern wie unabhängigen Beratern – das Für und Wider von Outsourcing diskutieren können.
Was macht die Veranstaltung aus?
Entscheiderorientierung:
„Entscheider für Entscheider“, Neutralität und Nachhaltigkeit der Plattform, Praxisorientierung und Relevanz der Themen und der Dialog zwischen Entscheidern auf Augenhöhe sowie mit anderen Experten sind die Markenzeichen des Kongresses.
Qualität:
Das Entscheiderforum Outsourcing bietet eine attraktive Kombination aus Keynotes, Plenarvorträgen, Foren, Podiumsdiskussionen und speziellen Formaten für den Dialog in den verschiedenen Teilnehmergruppen.
Praxisrelevanz:
„Wir sagen dem Entscheider, wie er es besser machen kann“ - im Fokus steht die Vermittlung von Wissen aus der Praxis und von Best Practices durch Outsourcing-Erfahrungsträger, Berater, Wissenschaftler und Provider von Outsourcing-Services. Dafür steht die von BITKOM, BDI, CIOcolloqium und DIHK in Zusammenarbeit mit den Medien sowie mit den Partnern entwickelte neutrale Plattform.
Nachhaltigkeit:
Das Entscheiderforum Outsourcing 2010 ist die achte Konferenz einer Veranstaltungsserie und die größte jährliche Konferenz ihrer Art im deutschsprachigen Raum.
Vielfalt:
Für die Vermittlung von Praxiswissen stehen vier Formate zur Verfügung: | de | Indisches Call Center (Archivbild)
Ein deutscher Automobilhersteller hatte für Störungsmeldungen bei der Datenverarbeitung ein Call-Center in Indien beauftragt. Dieser Auftrag umfasste auch die Betreuung einer Produktionsanlage. Als die komplette Produktionsanlage still stand und der Verantwortliche hilfesuchend bei der IT-Wartung anrief, landete er bei dem indischen Call-Center und bekam von dem dortigen Mitarbeiter als erste Frage zu hören: „Buchstabieren Sie bitte Totalausfall“.
Diesen haarsträubenden Fall nimmt die Fachzeitschrift ''it management'' in der Juni-Ausgabe zum Anlass, um über Kosten und Nutzen von Outsourcing bei Dienstleistungen im IT-Bereich zu berichten. Damit bekommt die Diskussion um die Verlagerung von Produktion und Dienstleistung, die seit Jahren sowohl in der freien Wirtschaft als auch in der öffentlichen Verwaltung stattfindet, neuen Zündstoff. Das Thema war auch Gegenstand einer Tagung, die am 25./26. Mai 2011 in Bad Homburg stattfand. |
pt | Ao analisarem os restos mortais de um homem da Idade do Bronze descoberto na China, perceberam que ele tinha um tumor raro
Isabela Barreiros Publicado em 02/11/2020, às 13h41
Um recente estudo publicado na revista científica International Journal of Paleopathology revelou uma descoberta notória para a ciência. Pesquisadores, ao examinarem o esqueleto incompleto de um indivíduo que viveu durante a Idade do Bronze, perceberam que os ossos continham evidências de que o homem tinha um tipo de câncer.
Esse seria o caso mais antigo de câncer já descoberto por especialistas. Em relação ao homem, seus restos mortais foram encontrados na China, em uma tumba com mais seis pessoas. Ele morreu com entre 34 a 44 anos de idade e pertencia à cultura Qijia, que se desenvolveu entre 1750 e 1450 a.C.
Assim, os cientistas analisaram os ossos “macroscopicamente e radiograficamente usando raios X simples”, descobrindo pequenas lesões circulares. As hipóteses iniciais de tuberculose, infecção fúngica e condição óssea foram desconsideradas após uma investigação mais profunda.
A conclusão foi a seguinte: “com base na natureza, distribuição e aparência radiográfica das lesões, o diagnóstico mais provável é mieloma múltiplo”. Isso faria com que esse fosse um dos primeiros exemplos de câncer no Leste Asiático.
Os pesquisadores lembraram em seu artigo que “a evidência de câncer em populações anteriores é rara: menos de 300 casos foram identificados no registro arqueológico”, o que torna a descoberta ainda mais impressionante e rara. É possível compreender, portanto, que a pesquisa poderá auxiliar mais no entendimento do desenvolvimento do câncer. | pt | Um recente estudo publicado na revista científica International Journal of Paleopathology mostrou uma descoberta notória para a ciência.

O estudo completo inclui um número maior de amostras já em análise. Os resultados serão divulgados posteriormente.
Dados promissores
As vacinas compostas de vírus inativado, como a produzida pelo Instituto Butantan, possuem todas as partes do vírus. Isso pode gerar uma resposta imune mais abrangente em relação ao que ocorre com outras vacinas que utilizam somente uma parte da proteína Spike (proteína utilizada pelo coronavírus para infectar as células). A vacina inativada do Butantan consegue ter uma proteína Spike completa.
Dessa forma, a vacina do Butantan pode levar a uma proteção mais efetiva contra as variantes que apresentam mutação na proteína Spike, enquanto as vacinas que têm fragmentos menores desta proteína têm menos chances de serem eficazes contra as novas variantes.
Nos testes realizados pelo Butantan são utilizados os soros das pessoas vacinadas (colhidos por meio de exame de sangue). As amostras são colocadas em um cultivo de células e posteriormente infectadas com as variantes. A neutralização consiste em testar se os anticorpos gerados em decorrência da vacina vão neutralizar, ou seja, combater o vírus nesse cultivo.
No estudo está sendo avaliado não somente o vírus de referência, como também as variantes P.1 e P.2 (ambas têm mutação E484K presente na variante B.1.351, detectada na África do Sul). Em todos os testes foi utilizado o vírus “selvagem” (wild-type), ou seja, coronavírus íntegros com potencial de causar a infecção. Os testes são realizados em um laboratório de biossegurança de nível 3, que é destinado ao trabalho com microrganismos da classe de risco alto.
No entanto, os resultados de laboratório são apenas um indicativo. O mais importante neste momento são os resultados já verificados na vida real, que é o impacto positivo da vacinação. Índices de ocupação nos hospitais e Unidades de Terapia Intensiva, bem como o número de internações e óbitos já caíram em São Paulo e em Pernambuco.
As variantes
P.1
Conhecida como a variante amazônica, a P1 recebeu a classificação de “Variante de Preocupação” da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Ela apresenta 20 mutações e é apontada como causadora de reinfecção em Manaus.
P.2
Emergiu no Rio de Janeiro e já se espalhou por diversos estados, incluindo São Paulo, Paraná e Bahia. Também foi detectada no Reino Unido, Canadá, Argentina, Noruega, Irlanda e Singapura. | pt | Frasco de Coronavac

According to new figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the annual rate of inflation in Ireland has begun to rise again after a period of decline. Annualised inflation is now running at 2.2%, up from 2.1% in March.
The figures are derived from the ''Consumer Price Index'' which is monitored by the CSO. Despite the increase, inflation remains significantly below the figure for recent years. Annualised inflation peaked at 5.1% in February 2003.
The major contributor to the rise was the cost of heating and housing with the ''Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Fuels'' group rising 10.6% in the past 12 months - with 2% of that rise in the last month alone. The cost of clothing and footwear has dropped almost 3% in the past yearWhen broken down more the section marked ''Energy Products'' showed a massive 5.3% rise in the past month alone.
This sharp rise in energy costs was offset somewhat by decreases (over the past 12 months) in the following groups:
* Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages (-0.5%)
* Clothing and Footwear (-2.8%)
* Furnishings, Household Equipment and Routine Household Maintenance (-1.4%)
* Communications (-0.2%)
* Miscellaneous Goods & Services (-1.3%).
According to the CSO the Consumer Price Index is made up of ''over 55,000 prices'' ''consisting of 613 headings which cover over 1,000 different items''. |
en | Annual inflation increases to 2.2% in April
12/05/2005 - 11:17:51
Consumer prices in April, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, increased by 0.5% in the month.
This compares to an increase of 0.4% in April of last year and, as a result, the annual rate of inflation rose slightly to 2.2%, up from 2.1% in March.
The EU Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) increased by 0.6% in the month, compared to an increase of 0.3% in April 2004.
The annual rate of inflation as measured by the HICP rose from 1.9% in March to 2.2% in April.
The most notable changes in the year were increases in housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (+10.6%), education (+6.3%), health (+5.9%), restaurants and hotels (+3.6%) and transport (+2.9%).
There were decreases in clothing and footwear (-2.8%), furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance (-1.4%), miscellaneous goods and services (-1.3%) and food and non-alcoholic beverages (-0.5%).
The annual rate of inflation for goods was 0.7% in April while the corresponding rate for services was 3.7%.
The most significant monthly price changes were increases in housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (+2.0%), transport (+1.2%) and restaurants and hotels (+0.8%). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in miscellaneous goods and services (-0.3%).
Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels rose due to increases in prices for home heating oil and electricity and higher average mortgage interest repayments.
Transport rose with higher prices for petrol and diesel.
Restaurants and hotels rose due to higher accommodation costs and increased prices for eating out.
Miscellaneous goods and services decreased due to falling house and motor insurance costs.
The CPI, excluding tobacco, index for April was 110.1, up 0.5% since March and up 2.4% in the year.

en | The annual rate of inflation rose slightly to 2.2% in April from 2.1% in March, the latest figures from the Central Statistics Office show.
Consumer prices in April, as measured by the CPI, increased by 0.5% in the month. This compares to an increase of 0.4% in April of last year and as a result, the annual rate of inflation rose to 2.2%.
The annual rate of inflation for goods was 0.7% in April, while the corresponding rate of services was 3.7%.
In April, the price of home heating oil, electricity and mortgage interest repayments were higher, while transport costs rose by 2% as petrol and diesel became more expensive. Hotels charged higher accommodation costs while restaurants also charged more for eating out.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in falling house and motor insurance costs, the CSO added.
The EU Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices increased by 0.6% in the month, compared to an increase of 0.3% the same time last year. The annual rate of inflation, as measured by the HICP, rose from 1.9% in March to 2.2% in April.
Commenting on the figures Austin Hughes, Chief Economist at IIB Bank said that the slight uptick in April inflation indicates that when inflation is low it is difficult to avoid some degree of increase in prices.
He said that while last month's rise was due to higher energy prices, in a number of other areas there are signs that the extent of downward pressures may not be as intensive as last year. He said the general trend in Irish consumer prices remains subdued but the he expects a slight uptick in prices to leave average inflation rate around 2.5% in 2005.
Eugene Kiernan, Head of Asset Allocation at Irish Life Investment Managers said that while goods inflation is almost absent it's on the services side of the economy that we are seeing the price pressures with 4% inflation.
He said while food and clothing prices are down on the year the cost of running a home continues to escalate with housing, water and electricity costs up over 10% on the year. | en | Ireland's heavy reliance on imported oil is starting to cause a rise in inflation
According to new figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the annual rate of inflation in Ireland has begun to rise again after a period of decline. Annualised inflation is now running at 2.2%, up from 2.1% in March.
The figures are derived from the ''Consumer Price Index'' which is monitored by the CSO. Despite the increase, inflation remains significantly below the figure for recent years. Annualised inflation peaked at 5.1% in February 2003.
The major contributor to the rise was the cost of heating and housing with the ''Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Fuels'' group rising 10.6% in the past 12 months - with 2% of that rise in the last month alone. The cost of clothing and footwear has dropped almost 3% in the past yearWhen broken down more the section marked ''Energy Products'' showed a massive 5.3% rise in the past month alone.
This sharp rise in energy costs was offset somewhat by decreases (over the past 12 months) in the following groups:
* Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages (-0.5%)
* Clothing and Footwear (-2.8%)
* Furnishings, Household Equipment and Routine Household Maintenance (-1.4%)
* Communications (-0.2%)
* Miscellaneous Goods & Services (-1.3%).

en | Jason (l) and Corbett (r) attended Barker's Bafta tribute in 2004
Corbett said his late partner was "pure gold in triplicate - as a performer, a writer and a friend".
Barker died peacefully on Monday with his wife Joy by his side, after a long period of heart trouble.
The comedian was best known as one half of long-running TV double act The Two Ronnies with Corbett.
Corbett described the 40 years they worked together as "an absolute pleasure".
At the peak of Barker's career, The Two Ronnies entertained 17 million people every Saturday night.
The show, which ran for 15 years, mixed sketches, wordplay and funny songs.
Barker also starred in two of the most popular sitcoms in BBC history - Porridge and Open All Hours, creating two classic characters, the laconic inmate Fletcher and the stuttering shopkeeper Arkwright.
By Tuesday evening, some of the biggest names in British entertainment had paid tribute to the comedian and his work.
Actor David Jason, who co-starred in Open All Hours, called him "a dear friend and someone for whom I had the greatest respect".
Great respect
"Working with Ronnie was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career."
TV host Bruce Forsyth said: "He was so good at everything he did.
"You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer."
Phoenix Nights star Peter Kay said Barker's passing would leave "a huge hole in our lives".
"Just like Eric Morecambe, you feel like you've lost a dear friend," he said.
"Ronnie was a straightforward man who had this extraordinary ability to make the nation laugh," said former Monty Python member Michael Palin.
Fellow Python John Cleese, who worked with Barker on The Frost Report, called him "a great comic actor to learn from".
"Ronnie loved his audiences and they invariably loved him," added Sir David Frost.
'Wonderful warmth'
Eric Sykes, meanwhile, praised the way "he never sought the limelight and let people judge him for his work".
"Everything he did had a very evocative ring, of something great. He had a gift."
"I will always remember him for the many and various characters he portrayed," said actor David Suchet, who once bought a house from Barker.
He was a kind, warm and friendly man and, most of all, a gentleman
Des O'Connor
Mitchell shares his memories
"There's no doubt he was in his own way a comic genius," comedian Nicholas Parsons told BBC News 24.
"He had this wonderful warmth and humour that came right through the screen and just embraced you."
Sir Peter Hall, who directed Barker on the West End stage in 1955, said: "He illuminated more than 50 years of our lives with laughter."
Entertainer Danny La Rue, a lifelong friend, said: "He liked to hide behind his characters, but his shyness was one of the lovely things about him."
The comic Les Dennis, another friend of Barker's, called him "a genuine, warm and lovely man" with a "brilliant presence".
Comedian Jimmy Tarbuck said: "Not only could he do it, he could write it as well."
'Amazing chameleon'
Chat show host Michael Parkinson, who interviewed Barker twice, said he was "one of our very greatest comedy actors".
"He was also a generous performer. The people who worked with him regarded themselves as very fortunate."
Ben Elton said Barker had left "an incomparable body of work"
"He was like a chameleon, an amazing character comedian," added writer Barry Cryer.
"If you watch him in Porridge and Open All Hours you can't believe it's the same person."
Comedian Ben Elton said: "He lives on in an incomparable body of work which will continue to bring joy to millions."
Chat show host Des O'Connor commented: "City toff, country yokel - all his characters were brilliantly observed and so believable.
"He was a kind, warm and friendly man and, most of all, a gentleman."
Actor Sam Kelly, who appeared with Barker in Porridge, told BBC News 24: "It's too early - he deserved another 10 years.
"We'll remember him as someone who made us all laugh, and someone who made us feel better about ourselves."
BBC bosses also paid tribute to the performer who became one of the corporation's most established stars.
"We have lost a national treasure - a comic actor of real genius," said BBC chairman Michael Grade.
BBC director general Mark Thompson said: "Ronnie Barker will be numbered amongst a select band of comedy greats who shaped British comedy in the 20th century." | en | The well loved British comedian and comedy writer Ronnie Barker has died aged 76, of heart failure.

es | Más del 97 por ciento de los puertorriqueños que votaron hoy en los comicios sobre el estatus jurídico del Estado Libre Asociado a Estados Unidos, se pronunció por la estadidad, con casi 100 por ciento de los votos escrutados, informó del diario local El Nuevo Día.
En el plebiscito, efectuado este domingo en la isla con un alto abstencionismo, la "estadidad", que plantea la incorporación de Puerto Rico como estado número 51 de Estados Unidos, se impuso con 499 mil 860 sufragios, según los resultados preliminares de la Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE).
La opción por la libre asociación o independencia sumaba hasta esta tarde siete mil 727 votos, y mantener el actual estatus de Estado Libre Asociado concitaba seis mil 764 sufragios, con el reporte de cuatro mil 468 de los cuatro mil 587 colegios electorales.
Los resultados del sufragio, de carácter consultivo y no vinculante, serán enviados al Congreso de Estados Unidos, al que corresponde decidir si revisa o no la condición de Puerto Rico, cuyos habitantes tienen ciudadanía estadunidense pero carecen de otras atribuciones de los estados federales.
Una vez conocida como ganadora la opción promovida por el gobernante Partido Nuevo Progresista, el gobernador Ricardo Rosselló expuso en un mensaje especial las acciones que tomará su administración.
“Hoy los puertorriqueños estamos enviando un mensaje fuerte y claro al mundo, reclamando la igualdad de derechos como ciudadanos americanos (estadunidenses)”, dijo el titular del ejecutivo desde La Fortaleza.
Aseveró que llevará los resultados de este domingo a Washington "con la fuerza que representa el cumplimiento de un ejercicio democrático, supervisado por una Misión de Observadores Nacionales e Internacionales, que han validado el proceso como uno debidamente organizado, justo y democrático".
Rosselló hizo ver que la misión estará rindiendo un informe "al Congreso y al gobierno federal sobre esta histórica elección”.
En una conferencia de prensa previa, la presidenta de la CEE, Liza García, recordó que el resultado de la consulta que puso en la mesa tres fórmulas de estatus -estadidad, libre asociación/independencia y actual estatus territorial- es preliminar.
García indicó que los resultados definitivos se tendrán "hasta que se añadan los votos emitidos bajo otras condiciones, como el voto adelantado, a domicilio, ausente y el voto de los confinados".
Según la Ley 7 de este año , el secretario de Estado notificará al Congreso y al presidente de los Estados Unidos sobre el resultado de la consulta.

Puerto Rico votó este domingo a favor de convertirse en el estado 51 de Estados Unidos en un referendo no vinculante que contó con baja participación.
El 97,18% de los votantes, poco más de medio millón de puertorriqueños, escogió la opción de estadidad con el 99% de los votos escrutados, según el reporte de la Comisión Estatal de Elecciones de la isla.
La consulta contó con tan solo 23% de participación. De los 2.260.804 habilitados para votar, acudieron a las urnas casi 518.000 ciudadanos.
A los votantes se les preguntó si quieren que Puerto Rico sea el estado número 51 de Estados Unidos, si preferían que obtenga la independencia definitiva o si estaban de acuerdo en que siga siendo un territorio autónomo de Estados Unidos, como hasta ahora.
La opción de independencia obtuvo el 1,5% de los votos y la del actual estatus territorial 1,32%.

El referendo fue convocado por el gobierno de la isla en el contexto de crisis económica, que algunos atribuyen, al menos parcialmente, al estatus jurídico inusual de Puerto Rico, a medio camino entre la independencia y la plena estadidad.
Sin embargo, a pesar del voto de este domingo la decisión final no está en manos de los puertorriqueños, sino que debe ser tomada por el Congreso de EE.UU.
Reacciones encontradas
El gobernador de la isla, Ricardo "Ricky" Rosselló, quien hizo campaña a favor de la estadidad, dijo en una alocución que el resultado del plebiscito es un llamamiento a "poner fin a la relación colonial con Estados Unidos".
Derechos de autor de la imagen AFP Image caption El gobernador de la isla, Ricardo Rosselló, dijo que la victoria de la estadidad envía "un mensaje claro a Washington".
"Nos corresponde ahora llevar esos resultados a Washington con la fuerza que representa el cumplimiento de un ejercicio democrático", continuó.
El funcionario había dicho previamente que la estadidad es necesaria para resolver la actual recesión económica que afecta a Puerto Rico, la peor en décadas, con una tasa de pobreza del 45%, un desempleo que dobla la media de Estados Unidos y una población que decrece por la emigración al territorio estadounidense continental.
La oposición, por el contrario, calificó la consulta popular como una "derrota" para Rosselló por la baja participación de los votantes.
"(Los electores) se fueron a la calle, a la playa, al río. No hicieron caso. Perdió la estadidad y Rosselló", dijo en una conferencia de prensa el presidente del principal partido opositor, Partido Popular Democrático (PPD), Héctor Ferrer.
La quinta vez
Este domingo los puertorriqueños votaron por quinta vez qué relación política desean tener con Estados Unidos.
Otros referendos se celebraron en 1967, 1993, 1998 y 2012.
Derechos de autor de la imagen Reuters Image caption Las playas de la isla se llenaron este domingo.
En el referéndum no vinculante celebrado en 2012, por primera vez, una mayoría de los votos válidos fueron emitidos por la opción de la estadidad.
Pero cerca del 30% de todos los participantes en esa elección depositaron en las urnas votos en blanco o no válidos, situación que generó dudas sobre la legitimidad política del voto.
El Congreso de Estados Unidos no actuó sobre el resultado de ese referéndum.
La crisis económica en la isla ha provocado grandes déficits gubernamentales, severos recortes en los servicios públicos, un aumento de las tarifas de los servicios y de los impuestos sobre las ventas, así como protestas contra las autoridades locales y federales.
Problemas financieros
El gobierno de la isla dice que no puede cumplir con todas sus obligaciones de deuda, que se estiman en US$72.000 millones.
A principios de mayo Ricardo Rosselló anunció que la isla se declaraba en quiebra con el fin de reestructurar esa multimillonaria deuda.
Los defensores de la estadidad señalan que las leyes de Estados Unidos han permitido que otros gobiernos locales fuertemente endeudados busquen la protección de las leyes de bancarrota para defenderse de sus acreedores.

Y treinta y nueve años después de aquel histórico tricampeonato de América, Estudiantes alzó su cuarta Copa Libertadores. Lo logró del modo acaso más deseado por cualquier hincha argentino: en Brasil y después de ir perdiendo. Más: le jugó de igual a igual al Cruzeiro e incluso terminó siendo superior en el temible Mineirao, donde solamente habían logrado ganar el Vélez de Osvaldo Piazza en la Supercopa 96 y Boca hace un año, con Carlos Ischia y por la Libertadores. Si alguien tenía alguna duda, Estudiantes ratificó que su ADN está repleto de mística copera.
En esta estancia de 110 metros de largo y 75 de ancho, Estudiantes tuvo una virtud saliente: jugó con mucha serenidad en todo momento. Confiado en su potencial, tuvo tranquilidad para no dejarse arriar por el Cruzeiro y personalidad para hacer pie en un escenario hostil. En ningún momento se vio desbordado, ni por el entorno ni por el rival. Y se apoyó en la sabiduría de Juan Sebastián Verón, quien trató de ser siempre el eje del equipo.
A la hora de atacar, Estudiantes buscó más por la derecha, con algunas trepadas del anoche enorme Cristian Cellay (como en el gol del empate) y el buen manejo de Enzo Pérez.
A contrapelo de lo que podía esperarse, Cruzeiro mostró un ritmo más bien parsimonioso y le faltó agresividad en ataque. El local trató de encontrar huecos por los laterales, pero fueron contadas las veces en que lo consiguió. De hecho, su única situación de relativo riesgo en el primer tiempo fue producto de una jugada de pelota parada: Thiago Eleno bajó un córner de cabeza y Wellington no la llegó a conectar en las narices de Mariano Andújar.
Pese a que la cancha era una tentación para lanzar pelotazos, Estudiantes buscó casi siempre armar juego asociado y progresar a través del toque. Y dispuso de la chance más clara de aquel primer tiempo deslucido y de dientes apretados. Gastón Fernández la aguantó bien, descargó mejor para Mauro Boselli y el ex Boca pifió en la definición cuando le había quedado para romperle el arco a Fabio.
Cruzeiro se puso en ventaja con mucha fortuna en el arranque del segundo tiempo: el tiro de Henrique se desvió en Desábato antes de descolocar a Andújar. Pero el empate sobrevino a los 12: Verón limpió para Cellay, quien mandó el centro que Fernández conectó al gol.
Tras el 1-1, Estudiantes tuvo temple, garra y fútbol. Y a los 26 empezó a abrazar la gloria: córner de Verón y cabezazo goleador de Boselli.
Antes del final pasó de todo. Lo tuvo Verón con un tiro libre y Cruzeiro casi lo empata en dos ocasiones, una de ellas un remate de Thiago Ribeiro que dio en un ángulo. Pero la chapa no se modificó. Y Estudiantes es de nuevo el capo de América. | es | El club argentino Estudiantes de La Plata conquistó su cuarto título en la historia de la Copa Libertadores de América al derrotar en el partido definitivo 2-1 al Cruzeiro.
El partido de ida entre ambos clubes, disputado la semana anterior, había finalizado sin goles en el Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, por lo que debía haber un ganador para evitar la Prórroga o los penales para definir al campeón de la quinquagésima edición del torneo de fútbol de clubes más importante de América.
En el Estadio Mineirão los locales tomaron la ventaja en el marcador gracias a Henrique, con un remate de media distancia, venciera al arquero Mariano Andújar al minuto seis del segundo tiempo. Pero los delanteros Gastón Fernández (minuto 12 ST) y Mauro Boselli (27 ST), le dieron vuelta al marcador y lo dejaron en el 2-1 definitivo a favor de Estudiantes.
De esta forma, el club 'Pincharrata' ganó la Copa Libertadores 2009, siendo éste su cuarto título de la Copa Libertadores de América, tras las conquistas obtenidas en 1968, 1969 y 1970. De los campeones se destacaron Boselli, goleador del torneo con ocho tantos, Andújar con la valla menos vencida, y el capitán de Estudiantes, Juan Sebastián Verón, considerado el mejor jugador del partido.
Estudiantes de La Plata también logró un cupo para representar a la Conmebol en la Copa Mundial de Clubes a disputarse en el emirato de Dubai en diciembre próximo. |
es | Un corajudo Estudiantes de La Plata de Argentina protagonizó este miércoles 15 de julio un 'Mineirazo' histórico al vencer 2-1 de visitante al brasileño Cruzeiro en la revancha de la final de la 50ª Copa Libertadores de América, que le reportó su cuarto cetro sudamericano y la clasificación a la Copa Mundial de Clubes de la FIFA 2009.
Callando a unos 65.000 hinchas eufóricos que descontaban el título en el estadio Mineirao y con una labor monumental del volante Juan Sebastián Verón, Estudiantes abrocha un histórico ciclo (1968-1969-1970-2009) para delirio de unos 3.000 hinchas 'pincharratas' presentes.
Final reñida
En poco más de un minuto Cruzeiro avisó de sus intenciones con una escapada lateral de Gerson Magrao, cuyo centro fue cortado justo por la defensa cuando llegaba el artillero Kleber.
Estudiantes estaba bien agrupado atrás y cuando podía salía por intermedio de Braña y Verón, tratando de retener el balón y aprovechar el contragolpe.
Ante una marca fuerte, Cruzeiro fue diluyéndose y no creaba ocasiones claras frente a un rival que llegaba poco, con lo cual el duelo se hizo de poca emoción.
A los 21 Estudiantes desperdició un buen ataque cuando Fernández recibió bien el área, esperó y cedió el pase a Boselli, que erró el disparo ante el arco.
Cruzeiro respondió con un cabezazo del defensa Leonardo Silva apenas desviado que por poco no conectó Wellington Paulista (23), quien nuevamente no pudo resolver en un rápido contragolpe al recibir en carrera pero ser bien anticipado por el golero Andújar (24).
El local fue creciendo y Kleber esquivó a uno por la punta izquierda y luego hizo un cruce rastrero cortado en el área chica por Desábato (26).
Pero las fallas y ansiedad de la retaguardia ponían en aprietos al local pues los argentinos lanzaban pocos pero punzantes contragolpes: primero por poco Pérez no llegó a culminar en el área (30) y luego Boselli fue cortado justo por un defensa cuando se disponía a rematar en la zona caliente (33).
Llegan las emociones
Para la segunda mitad Cruzeiro salió a atropellar con más empuje y enseguida Wellington Paulista intentó de cabeza, aunque su remate salió algo desviado.
Así, cuando nada parecía preverlo, Cruzeiro abrió el marcador: el volante Henrique apareció frontalmente para sacar un latigazo abajo, a un poste, que dejó sin asunto al meta Andújar luego de rozar en Desábato (1-0; 52').
El estadio Mineirao estalló a coro "¡Cruzeiro, Cruzeiro!" en un festival de humo, bengalas, banderas y camisetas revoleadas.
Pero el festejo azulado iba a durar poco porque en los argentinos se fueron arriba y en cruce desde la punta del lateral Cellay, 'La Gata' Fernández logró anticipar a los defensas y tocar al fondo de la red (1-1; 57).
Con coraje Estudiantes se fue arriba y provocó varias situaciones favorables como un tiro de Boselli ante tres defensas contenido por Fabio (68).
Así, en un córner, Boselli apareció ganando a los defensas y marcó con gran cabezazo que superó la estirada de Fabio (1-2; 72'). El atacante se erigió así en el máximo anotador del torneo con 8 conquistas.
En Cruzeiro entró el punta Thiago Ribeiro por Paulista para buscar una variante que permitiera llegar al empate.
La visita siguió insistiendo ante el nerviosismo rival y Verón remató un tiro libre en caída que salió muy cerca del marco brasileño (79).
Cruzeiro insistía desesperado, pero no lograba hilvanar respuestas firmes, aunque de milagro no empató porque un misil de Thiago Ribeiro se estrelló en el ángulo de Andújar (87) y luego el punta erró otra culminación faltando un minuto.
Así llegó el final de la contienda con un histórico y merecido triunfo argentino y otro lamento de fiesta brasileño en casa, como en la edición 2007, cuando Boca derrotó al Gremio, y la de 2008, en la que Fluminense perdió en Rio ante el ecutoriano Liga de Quito.
"Esto es único"
"¿Qué puedo decir? Esto es único, para dedicarle a todos los hinchas de Estudiantes que nos apoyaron en todo momento. Espero que lo disfruten como nosotros. Se lo dedico a todos: a los que me quieren y a los que no", festejó todavía en el terreno Juan Sebastián Verón, capitán y líder del equipo.
Por su parte, el entrenador Alejandro Sabella aseguró que "la explicación de este título son los jugadores. Demostramos la mística que tiene este club, estos futbolistas se merecen un monumento".
Por último, el estratega del campeón analizó la victoria: "Temía que nos desordenáramos después del gol de Cruzeiro, pero eso no sucedió y empatamos rápidamente. Ese fue un golpe psicológico para ellos, que no pudieron reponerse. Con esta victoria, entré al olimpo de este club". | es | El club argentino Estudiantes de La Plata conquistó su cuarto título en la historia de la Copa Libertadores de América al derrotar en el partido definitivo 2-1 al Cruzeiro.

en | Judge blocks 1998 online porn law PHILADELPHIA Software filters work much better than a 1998 federal law designed to keep pornography away from children on the Internet, a federal judge ruled Thursday in striking down the measure on free-speech grounds. Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr. also said the Child Online Protection Act fails to address threats that have emerged since the law was written, including online predators on social-networking sites like News Corp.'s MySpace, because it targets only commercial Web publishers. "Even defendant's own study shows that all but the worst performing (software) filters are far more effective than COPA would be at protecting children from sexually explicit material on the Web," said Reed, who presided over a month-long trial in the fall. The never-enforced law was Congress' second attempt to protect children from online porn. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 2004 a temporary injunction blocking the law from taking effect; Reed on Thursday issued a permanent injunction. The law would have criminalized websites that allow children to access material deemed "harmful to minors" by "contemporary community standards." The sites would have been expected to require a credit card number or other proof of age. Penalties include a $50,000 fine and up to six months in prison. Sexual health sites, the online magazine Salon.com and other websites backed by the American Civil Liberties Union had challenged the law on grounds it would have a chilling effect on speech. Joan Walsh, Salon.com's editor in chief, said the law could have allowed any of the 93 U.S. attorneys to prosecute the site over photos of naked prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. "The burden would have been on us to prove that they weren't" harmful to minors, Walsh said Thursday. In his ruling, Reed warned that "perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection." Daniel Weiss of Focus on the Family Action, a lobbying arm of the conservative Christian group, said it would continue to press Congress for a workable law. "The judge seems to indicate there's really no way for Congress to pass a good law to protect kids online," Weiss said. "I just think that's not a good response." To defend the nine-year-old law, government lawyers attacked software filters as burdensome and less effective, even though they have previously defended their use in public schools and libraries. That case was over a 2000 law requiring schools and libraries to use software filters if they receive certain federal funds. The high court upheld that law in 2003. The plaintiffs expect the Justice Department to appeal. Justice spokesman Charles Miller said the department still was reviewing the decision and has "made no determination as to what the government's next step will be." "I would hope that Attorney General (Alberto) Gonzales would save the U.S. public's money and not try to further defend what is an unconstitutional statute," said John Morris, a lawyer with the Center for Democracy and Technology, which wrote a brief in the case. "That money could better be used to help educate kids about Internet safety issues," he said. The plaintiffs argued that filters work best because they let parents set limits based on their own values and a child's age. Reed concluded that filters have become highly effective and that the government — if it wants to protect children — could do more to promote or subsidize them. The law addresses material accessed by children under 17, but only applies to sites hosted in the United States. The websites that challenged the law said fear of prosecution might lead them to shut down or move their operations offshore, beyond the reach of U.S. law. They also said the Justice Department could do more to enforce obscenity laws already on the books. Reed noted in his 83-page ruling that, since 2000, the Justice Department has initiated fewer than 20 prosecutions for obscenity that did not also involve other charges such as child pornography or attempts to have sex with minors. Although the government argued for the use of credit cards as a screening device, Reed said he saw no evidence of any accurate way to verify the age of Internet users. And he agreed that sites that require a credit card to view certain pages would see a sharp drop-off in users. The 1998 law followed the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Congress' first attempt to regulate online pornography. The Supreme Court in 1997 deemed key portions of that law unconstitutional because it was too vague and trampled on adults' rights. COPA narrowed the restrictions to commercial websites and defined indecency more specifically. "This is the second time Congress has tried this, and both times the courts have struck it down," said the ACLU's Chris Hansen, a lead attorney on the case. "I don't see how Congress could write a constitutional statute." Copyright 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued a permanent injunction on Thursday against the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) passed in 1998 that says it is a crime to make online pornography accessible for underage children.
Reed expressed "personal regret at having to set aside yet another attempt to protect our children from harmful material" but said that adults would "do the minors of this country harm, if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection."
He added that software filters would be more effective in protecting children than the COPA.
Chris Hansen of the ACLU, the plaintiffs, said that were the law to go into effect, "all Internet would have had to be brought down to a level that is acceptable to a 6-year-old and that would have had a devastating effect on the kind of interactions that take place on the Internet."
According to the law, which became effective in 1998 but had been barred from enforcement by the Supreme Court, websites containing "commercial" pornography are required to verify that the person looking at the material is of age, by asking for a credit card number. The law says that it would stop minors from viewing material that is "harmful by contemporary community standards."
One advocacy group, Enough is Enough which tries to protect underage children from Internet predators and pornography, spoke out against the ruling.
"It’s a very frustrating decision. We have an epidemic problem of kids accessing pornographic material online. Pornographers continue to get a free pass on the Internet from our federal courts, and efforts by Congress keep getting trumped," said president of the organization, Donna Rice Hughes.
If websites were caught not following the law, penalties could range from a 6 month jail sentence and fines of up to $50,000 USD.

en | President Bush asked Congress yesterday to approve $770 million in new global food aid for the coming fiscal year, the centerpiece of an evolving administration response to a crisis that has sparked increased violence and hunger around the world.
Overall, he said, the United States is on track to spend nearly $5 billion on foreign food assistance in 2008 and 2009. "With the new international funding I'm announcing today, we're sending a clear message to the world that America will lead the fight against hunger for years to come," Bush said at the White House.
The president said he is asking Congress to include the money in a broader Iraq war funding bill for fiscal 2009 that the administration sent to Capitol Hill yesterday.
The proposal came under immediate criticism from some congressional Democrats and outside experts, who said additional money would do little to alleviate the current crisis if it is not available until the 2009 budget year, which starts in October. Bush has also requested $350 million in additional food aid as part of the 2008 supplemental Iraq war budget, an amount that top Democrats say is too little.
"That is far too late for the urgency of this problem," said Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.), who along with Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (Ill.) has asked Bush for at least $550 million in emergency food aid now. "If you're hungry and your government is collapsing, waiting until December 2008 or January 2009 for food to hit the ground is just too late."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement that lawmakers "will respond rapidly to the growing urgent need for international food assistance," but she did not opine on Bush's latest request. Pelosi also urged the president to support new spending for food stamps and other domestic aid contained in a proposed farm bill, which he has called "bloated."
Bush's announcement comes as U.S. policymakers scramble to respond to an unexpectedly dramatic worldwide food panic spurred by skyrocketing prices for corn, rice, wheat and other staples of diets in the developing world. In some of the poorest countries in Africa and Asia, where food costs can consume three-quarters of incomes, prices have more than doubled in six months. Droughts, increasing energy costs and growing food demand in poor nations have contributed to higher prices in recent months.
The rising costs have prompted violent protests in more than a dozen countries and warnings from the United Nations and the World Bank that up to 100 million people could be plunged into poverty. The U.N. World Food Program has issued an urgent plea for money to keep up with the crisis.
"We thank the President of the United States for his urgent call to action to combat the advance of hunger among the world's most vulnerable," Josette Sheeran, executive director of the program, said in a statement after Bush's announcement.
White House officials said that the $770 million would include about $395 million for direct food assistance; $150 million for agricultural development; and $225 million for local crop purchases, vouchers and other special programs. The money is separate from the $350 million in emergency food aid that the administration has proposed for the current budget year, officials said. The administration also released $200 million worth of emergency wheat reserves from a special humanitarian trust two weeks ago.
If all of Bush's emergency requests are approved, officials said, the current year's budget for overseas food aid would grow 18 percent, to $2.3 billion, and next year's would jump about 40 percent, to nearly $2.7 billion. Historically, the United States has provided about half of all global food assistance.
Stephen McMillin, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, told reporters yesterday that in addition to achieving humanitarian goals, the funding "contributes to stabilizing unstable regimes in the developing world."
Bush also urged nations to remove emergency trade barriers that have been erected in recent weeks to protect domestic food stores, arguing that they only increase pressure on commodity prices. Lael Brainard, a Clinton administration economic adviser who is now with the Brookings Institution, applauded the proposal. "We should use this moment to improve not just the quantity but the quality of our foreign aid by making the reforms that are long overdue," she said.
One factor in the crisis is the growing demand for corn used to make ethanol. Joseph Glauber, the Agriculture Department's chief economist, told Congress yesterday that prices for corn and other food commodities will remain at "historically high levels" in coming years as the U.S. ethanol industry expands, the Associated Press reported.
While nearly all experts agree that increased biofuel production has contributed to escalating food prices, there is little consensus on the scope. Edward Lazear, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, argued yesterday that the impact of ethanol on prices was minimal, because corn is a small portion of global food consumption . | en | Bush speaking on Food Aid yesterdayGeorge W. Bush, the President of the United States recently discussed Food Aid in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House. He called for extra funds to be allocated by Congress to support food aid. "I am calling on Congress to provide an additional $770 million to support food aid and development programs. Together, this amounts to nearly $1 billion in new funds to bolster global food security," he said.
His reasoning for asking for the increased funding was that the "funding will keep our the US's existing emergency food aid programs robust."
Bush declared that food aid in the past had been successful; he claimed that the US has "been the leader for providing food to those who are going without in the past, and we will continue to be the leader around the world."
On the topic of the delivery of food aid, the President commented, "as America increases its food assistance, it's really important that we transform the way that food aid is delivered. In my State of the Union address this year, I called on Congress to support a proposal to purchase up to nearly 25 percent of food assistance directly from farmers in the developing world. "
Bush then claimed that "America is in the lead" in delivering food aid, and that America will continue to be the lead in delivering Food Aid.
Furthermore, he stated that the US is "also working toward the conclusion of a successful Doha agreement that will reduce and eliminates tariffs and other barriers, as well as market-distorting subsidies for agricultural goods."
As his speech drew to a close, Bush asserted that people is the US "are generous people" and are "compassionate people." |

Gewaltsame Proteste in Neu Delhi und ganz Indien
Die Tat löste gewaltsamen Proteste in Neu Delhi und ganz Indien aus. Vor allem junge Menschen protestierten in den vergangenen Tagen gegen das Ausmaß der Gewalt gegen Frauen und warfen den Behörden vor, nicht genügend gegen Vergewaltigungen und sexuelle Gewalt vorzugehen. Inzwischen wurden die mutmaßlichen Täter festgenommen.

Nach aktuellen Polizeistatistiken wird in Neu-Delhi alle 18 Stunden eine Vergewaltigung gemeldet. Doch die Dunkelziffer ist hoch. Recherchen von Sozialwissenschaftlern haben ergeben, dass drei von vier Tätern straffrei bleiben. Auch deswegen schweigen viele Opfer aus Angst und Scham.
Indiens Männer-Gesellschaft ist das Problem
Nicht fehlende Gesetze sind das Problem, sagt Sozialwissenschaftlerin Ranjana Kumari, sondern die fehlende Debatte über das versteinerte Denken in Indiens traditioneller Männer-Gesellschaft: "Solange wir nicht ehrlich über unsere Geisteshaltung diskutieren, werden Männer weiter glauben, dass sie das Recht haben, die weibliche Sexualität zu kontrollieren. Wenn wir nicht aufhören, die Opfer zu Tätern zu machen, werden wir noch viele Vergewaltigungen erleben."

de | Sechs Männer hatten die Studentin in einem Bus in Neu Delhi brutal vergewaltigt und schwer verletzt, Ärzte in Indien und Singapur bemühten sich, ihr Leben zu retten - vergeblich. Am Freitag starb die 23 Jahre alte Frau im Krankenhaus.
Singapur - Ihr Zustand hatte sich in den vergangenen zwei Tagen verschlechtert, die Organe versagten, das Herz blieb stehen: Nun erlag die 23-Jährige, die in Neu Delhi von mehreren Männern brutal vergewaltigt wurde, ihren schweren Verletzungen.
"Wir bedauern sehr, bekanntzugeben, dass die Patientin um 04.45 Uhr (Ortszeit) am 29. Dezember 2012 friedlich von uns gegangen ist", erklärte der Chef des Mount-Elizabeth-Hospitals in Singapur, Kelvin Loh. Die Angehörigen der Patientin seien in der Todesstunde bei ihr gewesen. Das Personal beklage mit den Hinterbliebenen den schweren Verlust.
"Trotz aller Bemühungen eines Teams von acht Spezialisten verschlechterte sich ihr Zustand innerhalb der vergangenen zwei Tage", sagte Loh. "Sie hat tapfer um ihr Leben gekämpft, doch ihre Verletzungen waren zu schwer."
Die 23-Jährige war in der Nacht zum Donnerstag aus Neu-Delhi in die Spezialklinik für Organtransplantationen nach Singapur geflogen worden.
Sie lag seit ihrer Ankunft auf der Intensivstation des Krankenhauses. Die Regierung des indischen Premierminister Manmohan Singh hatte zugesichert, der Staat werde alle Behandlungskosten übernehmen.
Ein Ärzteteam hatte Infektionen ihrer Lungen und innerer Organe festgestellt, die schließlich versagten. Die junge Frau war vor eineinhalb Wochen von einer Gruppe von sechs Männern vor den Augen ihres Freundes in einem Bus in Neu-Delhi mehrfach vergewaltigt und mit einer Eisenstange geschlagen worden. Danach warfen die Täter das Paar aus dem fahrenden Bus.
In der indischen Hauptstadt gab es nach Bekanntwerden des Vorfalls immer wieder Protestewegen der häufigen Vergewaltigungen im Land. Ein Polizistund ein Fernsehjournalistkamen dabei ums Leben.
Die Regierung versprach, die Täter so schnell wie möglich zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Erwartet wird, dass der Prozess schon nächste Woche beginnen wird. Das begrüßen viele Demonstranten zwar, doch machten sie auf all jene Fälle aufmerksam, die oft jahrelang verschleppt werden. 100.000 Vergewaltigungsfälle sollen im ganzen Land juristisch noch unerledigt sein.
Die Regierung kündigte weitere Maßnahmen an. So soll nun eine Datenbank vorbereitet werden, in der alle verurteilten Vergewaltiger des Landes erfasst werden. Ihre Namen, Porträtfotos und Adressen sollen auf Internetseiten der Polizei öffentlich sein. In Neu Delhi richtet die Polizei eine spezielle Notrufnummer für Frauen ein. Auch sollen Straßen besser beleuchtet und Busse häufiger kontrolliert werden.
Viele Teilnehmer der Protestaktionen forderten die Todesstrafe für die Verdächtigen. "Eine Stadt schämt sich", hatte die Zeitung "Times of India" nach dem Überfall getitelt. Neu-Delhi sei eine "Vergewaltigungshauptstadt". Laut offiziellen Angaben kam es in der Metropole im vergangenen Jahr zu 572 Vergewaltigungen, Tendenz steigend. Fernsehsender hatten rund um die Uhr vom "Schock in Indien" berichtet.
Im Parlament hatten Abgeordnete in beiden Häusern die reguläre Arbeit nieder gelegt und über den Vorfall diskutiert. "Wir brauchen schärfere Gesetze, um Vergewaltigungen zu stoppen", sagte Sushma Swaraj, die Chefin der wichtigsten Oppositionspartei. | de | Die 23-jährige Inderin, deren Vergewaltigung zu Protesten und Unruhen geführt hatte, ist in einem Krankenhaus in Singapur gestorben.

Alassane Ouattara a été proclamé vainqueur de l'élection présidentielle en Côte d'Ivoire. Un résultat annoncé par la commission électorale indépendante (CEI) dans un climat explosif, quatre jours après le second tour. A 68 ans, l'ex-Premier ministre Alassane Ouattara, un musulman du nord, succède donc à Laurent Gbagbo qui a, lui, recueilli 45,9% des suffrages.
Un concert de klaxons
L'annonce des résultats a provoqué un véritable concert de klaxons dans les rues d'Abidjan, où étaient réunis des partisans du camp d'Alassane Ouattara. Le Conseil Constitutionnel doit maintenant validés les résultats donnés par la CEI et a sept jours pour rendre sa décision.Il devra également examiné des recours déposés par Laurent Gbagbo, le président sortant, pour fraudes dans le Nord du pays.
"Pas de "validité juridique"
Mais ce dernier ne semble pas accepter les résultats, qui n'ont pas de "validité juridique", selon le directeur de campagne de Laurent Gbagbo. "On attend la décision du Conseil constitutionnel, donc cette proclamation n'a pas d'intérêt pour nous", a dit Pascal Affi N'Guessan.
Les tensions ont été vives jusqu'à l'annonce du vainqueur. Chaque camp a accusé l’autre de fraudes massives. Depuis le second tour de l’élection présidentielle du 28 novembre, le pays est divisé en deux, entre les partisans de Laurent Gbagbo et ceux d’Alassane Ouattara. Dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, cette rivalité avait pris un tour sanglant, avec l’attaque à Abidjan d’un bureau du candidat Ouattara, au cours de laquelle au moins huit personnes ont perdu la vie.
"Les gens ont hurlé"
Des hommes en armes ont investi, pendant le couvre-feu nocturne instauré pour le second tour de dimanche dernier, le bureau du Rassemblement des républicains (RDR) dans le quartier populaire de Yopougon, fief du président-candidat Laurent Gbagbo, ont rapporté ces habitants. Une quinzaine de personnes ont été blessées, selon une source hospitalière, dont plusieurs par balles.
Le bilan a été confirmé par une source policière et un responsable local du RDR. Ce dernier a expliqué qu'une cinquantaine de partisans d’Alassane Ouattara étaient rassemblées à l'intérieur du bâtiment, attendant l'annonce des résultats du scrutin, qui n'est finalement jamais venue.
Le parti de Gbagbo également attaqué
L'état-major de l'armée a également confirmé le décès de quatre personnes. Une patrouille des forces de l'ordre en "mission de vérification" dans le quartier a été "prise à partie par des tirs à l'arme automatique", a-t-on expliqué. "La riposte des éléments de la patrouille a fait quatre personnes tuées et 14 personnes blessées".
Par ailleurs, le siège local du parti de Laurent Gbagbo, le Front populaire ivoirien (FPI), situé à 300 mètres de celui du RDR à Yopougon à Abidjan, a été l'objet d'une attaque très tôt jeudi, faisant "deux blessés", a indiqué l'un de ses responsables, Lazare Zaba Zadi. Un véhicule garé dans la cour du bâtiment a été incendié.

en | Medvedev, Putin congratulate Bilan on Eurovision win: "One more triumph for all Russia"
MOSCOW: In sports and pop music, Russia is on a roll — and its leaders made the most of it Sunday.
A winning performance in the Eurovision Song Contest by singer Dima Bilan followed a series of sports victories that have fed the resurgent country's increasing self-confidence.
President Dmitry Medvedev reached Bilan on a mobile phone in the middle of the night to congratulate the singer, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent him a telegram calling the victory "one more important triumph for all of Russia," officials said.
Putin just finished eight years as president during which an oil-fueled economic recovery has boosted Russia's clout and put the swagger back into its step.
"Russia is the favorite now, it's just tearing everybody up — in basketball, football, hockey, and Eurovision!" said Evgeni Plushenko, the Olympic champion figure skater and now a politician, who helped Bilan to the prize by pirouetting on artificial ice during the performance in Belgrade, Serbia.
In the past month, Russian teams have won the European basketball championship, the world ice hockey championship and soccer's UEFA Cup.
Putin's successor, Medvedev, was not to be left out of the celebrations.
He called Bilan shortly after the singer brought Russia its first-ever title in the glitzy annual contest, the Kremlin said.
State-run Rossiya television showed what it said was one side of the conversation: Bilan, a flag-waving Plushenko and others sitting on the back seat of a bus and shouting "Russia! Russia! Russia!" into a mobile phone.
"Thank you," Bilan said more quietly into the phone.
"I've never spoken to the president in my life, and I don't know how it's done, but it's very, very pleasant for me, and I think for the whole team sitting in the back of this bus," he said.
"It's so great that the prize is coming to Russia," Medvedev said, according to the presidential press service. He promised that Russia would do a first-class job hosting the contest next year.
One detail that detracts from the victory as a celebration of Russia: Bilan sang in English.
But state-run Channel One television approvingly noted that Bilan gave a rendition in Russian for its viewers during the post-prize festivities, and showed part of it on the news at noon Sunday. | en | Dima Bilan has won the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, the 53rd, for Russia with his song ''Believe''. The song was developed by US R&B artist Timbaland. The song won the competition with 272 points; 42 points ahead of Ukraine's Ani Lorak in second place with 230 points for the song ''Shady Lady''. Third was Kalomira for Greece with ''Secret Combination'' The voting for the competition came from 43 countries across Europe, but with 25 countries competing, the others having failed to get through the semi finals. Russia has never won the contest before, Bilan having come second in 2006, losing out to Finnish hard rock band Lordi with ''Hard Rock Halellujah''.

Furtherdown the scale Germany's No Angels with ''Disapear'', Poland's Isis Gee with ''For Life'' and the United Kingdom's Andy Abraham with ''Even If'' came joint last with 14 points. Fourth last was Teräsbetoni, a Finnish heavy metal band performing in their native language with ''Missä Mihet Ratsastaa'' (Where Men Ride). Sweden's Charlotte Perrelli had been predicted to repeat her 1999 victory, this time with ''Hero'', but also received a low score.
There was an estimated 100 million television viewers from across Europe.
UK commentator Terry Wogan has garnered significant media attention for criticising the contest live towards the end of the broadcast for being overly political. "It's a disappointment, considering that Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved more marks than it got when you look at the points that Spain got, that Bosnia-Herzegovina got - some really ridiculous songs," he said. "You have to say that this is no longer a music contest... I have to decide whether we (himself and his producer, who already announced he wanted to leave) want to do this again. Western European participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in, because their prospects are poor." He called the contest "political".
Spain was represented by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre with ''Baila el Chiki Chiki'' (Dance the Chiki Chiki) and Bosnia and Herzegovina by Elvir Laković Laka with ''Pokušaj'' (try).
Bilan, who received the maximum 12 points from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia, all of which are former Soviet countries, was sent a telegram from Putin to congratulate him after his victory. Mevedev also contacted him later by phone to congratulate him. "Russia is the favorite now, it's just tearing everybody up — in basketball, football, hockey, and Eurovision!" commented champion figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, who had joined Bilan onstage to skate as part of the winning performance. He is now also a politician.
Next year's contest will be held in Russia. |

It had all the usual ingredients. . . cheesy songs, strange costumes, waspish comments from Terry Wogan - and tactical voting.
Russian heartthrob Dima Bilan became the 2008 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest after many Eastern European countries awarded him the maximum 12 points, while Ukraine came second.
Saturday night's blatant bloc voting so upset presenter Wogan that he is wondering whether to quit the contest for good.
He had been rooting for Britain's entrant, former binman Andy Abraham, whose song Even If finished joint last with 14 points. Only San Marino and Ireland voted for him.
Terry Wogan: 'Eurovision is no longer a music contest Dissapointing: UK entrant Andy Abrahams came in last place
A clearly exasperated Wogan, who has been commentating on the contest every year since 1973, said: 'I have to decide whether I want to do this again.
'Western European participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in, because their prospects are poor.'
Wogan spoke out as Russia's entry Believe received the maximum 12 points from former Soviet states Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia, as well as Israel.
Eastern European votes also helped gain second place for Ukraine's Ani Lorak, dressed in a shiny Las Vegas showgirl outfit to perform an energetic disco-fuelled dance track.
Wogan said that Abraham, 43, who found fame on the TV talent show The X Factor, deserved more votes from other countries.
'It's a disappointment, considering that Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved more marks than it got,' he said.
'What a blinding performance he gave for the UK.' Bookmakers had already predicted Abraham's fate, however, making its chances of winning 66-1. 'I'm afraid nobody loves the UK,' added Wogan sadly. 'It just isn't funny any more.'
Heart throb: Russia's Dima Bilan scored a massive 272 points to win this year's Eurovision title
The UK has finished in the top ten only once in the last ten years, and has finished outside the top 20 four times in that period.
Referring to certain other songs in the competition, the TV and radio host added: 'You have to say that this is no longer a music contest.'
The last UK winner was Katrina and the Waves who triumphed in 1997 with Love Shine A Light. Last week the Daily Mail published research which analysed Eurovision voting patterns and suggested that the same countries can be relied on to vote for each other every year for geographical and political reasons.
Close finish: Ukraine's Ani Lorak (left) and Greece's Kalomira (right) came in at second and third place respectively
The former Soviet satellite states, for example, have been dubbed the Warsaw Pact.
There is also the Balkan Bloc and, in Scandinavia, the Viking Empire. Holland and Belgium tend to vote for each other as members of the Partial Benelux, while the Pyrenean Axis is made up of Spain and Andorra.
Britain has only one ally - Ireland - in what has been dubbed the Anglo-Irish Agreement.
Saturday night's contest, held in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, attracted an estimated TV audience of 150million across Europe, including 9.3million in the UK.
The strangest entry was from Bosnia-Herzegovina, described by Wogan as 'the four brides of Frankenstein and a loony with a clothes line'.
Observers noted that several other contestants appeared to have entered a Mariah Carey lookalike contest
Wogan, who earns a reported £150,000 a time for his Eurovision stints, has often got into trouble for his acerbic comments about other countries and their commentators.
Last year's political voting was so blatant that he described it as 'ridiculous'.
'Ridiculous': Terry Wogan was unimpressed with Bosnia and Herzegovina's entrants Laka, who landed in 10th place | en | Dima Bilan has won the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, the 53rd, for Russia with his song ''Believe''. The song was developed by US R&B artist Timbaland. The song won the competition with 272 points; 42 points ahead of Ukraine's Ani Lorak in second place with 230 points for the song ''Shady Lady''. Third was Kalomira for Greece with ''Secret Combination'' The voting for the competition came from 43 countries across Europe, but with 25 countries competing, the others having failed to get through the semi finals. Russia has never won the contest before, Bilan having come second in 2006, losing out to Finnish hard rock band Lordi with ''Hard Rock Halellujah''.

Furtherdown the scale Germany's No Angels with ''Disapear'', Poland's Isis Gee with ''For Life'' and the United Kingdom's Andy Abraham with ''Even If'' came joint last with 14 points. Fourth last was Teräsbetoni, a Finnish heavy metal band performing in their native language with ''Missä Mihet Ratsastaa'' (Where Men Ride). Sweden's Charlotte Perrelli had been predicted to repeat her 1999 victory, this time with ''Hero'', but also received a low score.
There was an estimated 100 million television viewers from across Europe.
UK commentator Terry Wogan has garnered significant media attention for criticising the contest live towards the end of the broadcast for being overly political. "It's a disappointment, considering that Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved more marks than it got when you look at the points that Spain got, that Bosnia-Herzegovina got - some really ridiculous songs," he said. "You have to say that this is no longer a music contest... I have to decide whether we (himself and his producer, who already announced he wanted to leave) want to do this again. Western European participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in, because their prospects are poor." He called the contest "political".
Spain was represented by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre with ''Baila el Chiki Chiki'' (Dance the Chiki Chiki) and Bosnia and Herzegovina by Elvir Laković Laka with ''Pokušaj'' (try).
Bilan, who received the maximum 12 points from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia, all of which are former Soviet countries, was sent a telegram from Putin to congratulate him after his victory. Mevedev also contacted him later by phone to congratulate him. "Russia is the favorite now, it's just tearing everybody up — in basketball, football, hockey, and Eurovision!" commented champion figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, who had joined Bilan onstage to skate as part of the winning performance. He is now also a politician.

It could be worse they could be part of Rockstar Supernova reunion gig. Beyond that I will add NEVER send a boy to do a man's job. Finland has many better metal export than Terasbetoniiann.

C'mon, the UK has been out of the running since we invaded Iraq. Lordi had a number of things going for them - a few friendly countries in their bit of Europe, massive exposure from controversy, vote Lordi campaigns, a catchier song, they sang in English, they look cool. Terasbetoni (sorry guys but B-mouth doesn't like the only way of putting the punctuation up that I know of) had a song that wasn't that far behind Lordi's, but the only one of those above points they had was a few Nordic mates.
Lordi could be remembered as the last non-Eastern-European entry to win Eurovision.

I quite enjoyed this song but Finnish is NOT a Metal language. It sounds laboured and overcomplicated. I listen to Pagan/Viking Metal and even I will admit it is mostly the music that draws me in.
Eurovision is a cankered event with no redeeming features whatsoever.

This contest is a disgrace for europe and so ridiculous that anyone who watches it should feel embarresed of being a human. If you're going to make a living by humiliating yourself in public for millions of viewers try at least to do it with some dignity instead of this crap. And yes, my english sucks so dont point that out. Metal has nothing to do with eurovision and i think they should be ashamed that they didnt end up at the last place.

Bilan is one of Russia's biggest pop stars and his heartfelt ballad Believe, produced by US R&B; star Timbaland, gave Russia its first ever Eurovision win. Ukraine's Ani Lorak came second with her energetic disco track Shady Lady, followed by Greece with upbeat pop song Secret Combination by Kalomira.

Armenia: 199 5. Norway: 182 Germany and Poland also received 14 points each, but they officially finished above the UK because their top scores in a single round were higher. Dima Bilan won with a stage show that included Olympic figure skating champion Evgeni Plushenko performing on a small ice circle. Bilan is a well-known performer throughout Russia and beyond, having been named best artist at the country's MTV Awards for the past three years in a row. He took part in Eurovision in 2006, finishing second behind Finnish rock monsters Lordi. He has recorded an album in English with Timbaland, including a duet with Canadian singer Nelly Furtado, and hopes to use it to break into the international market later this year.

Swedish singer Charlotte Perrelli, who won the event in 1999, was another hot tip and was picked as the winner in a Europe-wide BBC poll before the event. But she failed to become the first female singer to win the contest twice. The show was opened in front of 20,000 fans at the Belgrade Arena by last year's winner Marija Serifovic. The 20 countries that came through the semi-finals joined hosts Serbia plus the UK, France, Germany and Spain - the contest's four biggest backers.

Entertainment reporter, BBC News
Sweden's Eurovision entry has emerged as the favourite to win this year's contest in a Europe-wide BBC vote. Charlotte Perrelli, who won the event in 1999, was the convincing victor with her song Hero, ahead of Ukraine, Switzerland and host nation Serbia. The United Kingdom's Andy Abraham polled only enough votes to finish in 33rd place in a field of 43 songs. One Eurovision fan from each country chose their Top 10 songs ahead of tonight's first semi-final in Belgrade. BBC EUROVISION VOTE - TOP FIVE 1 Sweden - 245 points 2 Ukraine - 183 points 3 Switzerland - 159 points 4 Serbia - 152 points 5 Russia (pictured) - 122 points
Eurovision vote: Top 10 The final scoreboard Their choices were awarded Eurovision-style points, with one point for 10th place, up to a maximum of 12 points for their favourite songs. The points were combined to create the final standings, from 1st to 43rd place. Montenegro came last with just two points. The Swedish star finished 62 points clear of Ukraine's Ani Lorak, and was awarded maximum points by several fans from all parts of Europe. Perrelli - who won Eurovision in 1999 as Charlotte Nilsson - would secure Sweden's fifth win if successful, and become the first woman to win two contests. Ireland's Johnny Logan is the only singer to have won twice in the competition's 53-year history, in 1980 and 1987. For the first time this year, two semi-finals are being staged - and most of the 43 competing countries will have to fight for a place in the final. The only automatic finalists are the host nation and last year's winner Serbia, plus the UK, France, Germany and Spain - the biggest financial contributors to the event. Nineteen countries will take part in both Tuesday and Thursday's semi-finals, with a public vote determining nine qualifiers from each pool. 'Neighbourly' voting A jury will choose one more country in each semi-final to pass into the 25-strong grand final. The biggest change to the contest since 2004 has partly been made to accommodate the growing numbers of song contest participants. But organisers have responded to severe criticisms of the 2007 semi-final, which resulted in only eastern European countries making the final cut. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement Semi-finalists have been divided into two groups based on their usual voting preferences in a bid to lessen the impact of "neighbourly" voting. Traditional voting allies Greece and Cyprus have been split up, the former Yugoslav, Baltic and Scandinavian countries have been separated, while the UK will not be able to vote for Ireland. The UK has been given voting rights in Thursday's semi final, while both preliminary competitions are being screened on BBC Three. Organisers hope a broader range of countries will contest the final. The outcome, however, will rest solely on public voting, as in previous years. The Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals take place on 20 and 22 May and will be shown on BBC Three at 2000 BST. The grand final is on 24 May and will be screened on BBC One from 2000 BST.

en | 40-year-old suspect held in gruesome Manitoba bus killing Passenger decapitated, witnesses say; story contains graphic details
A 40-year-old man is in custody in Manitoba after a young man was stabbed — and, witnesses said, decapitated — aboard a Greyhound bus travelling through the province overnight.
Police officers spent Thursday examining a Greyhound bus where a passenger was reportedly stabbed and decapitated late Wednesday. (CBC)The RCMP would not confirm the reports of beheading, saying only that a stabbing took place around 8:30 p.m. CT on an eastbound Greyhound bus on the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometres west of Portage la Prairie.
The suspect, believed to be from outside Manitoba, was arrested early Thursday morning after a standoff lasting several hours and remains in RCMP custody .
Charges have not yet been laid, and the suspect has not yet been interviewed, said RCMP spokesman Staff Sgt. Steve Colwell, adding that he could release no further information on the investigation.
The RCMP declined to identify either the suspect or the victim.
Thirty-seven people were aboard the bus en route to Winnipeg from Edmonton.
Colwell said the "brave" behaviour of the passengers and driver probably prevented anyone else from being hurt.
"It's not something that happens regularly on a bus," he said. "You're sitting there enjoying your trip and then all of a sudden somebody gets stabbed. I imagine it would be pretty traumatic … the way they acted was extraordinary."
Victim 'just a kid': witness
Passenger Cody Olmstead, 21, told CBC News he had smoked a cigarette earlier in the trip with the victim, whom he described as a man in his late teens or early 20s. The victim got on the bus in Edmonton, he said.
"I never took the time to know him, but he seemed to be OK, right, just a kid," said Olmstead, a Nova Scotia man who had been taking the bus from Alberta to Montreal.
"He just said he was going to Winnipeg … going home, that's where he was from."
Garnet Caton said he heard a 'blood-curdling scream' and turned around to see a man repeatedly stabbing the passenger sitting next to him. (CBC)Garnet Caton, who was sitting in the seat in front of the victim, said he saw the attacker stab his seatmate, a young man sleeping with his headphones on.
Caton said he heard a "blood-curdling scream" and turned around to see the attacker holding a large "Rambo" hunting knife above the victim, "continually stabbing him in the chest area."
"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," said Caton.
"Like, just everywhere, arms, legs, neck, chest, guts, wherever he could swing it, he got it," said Olmstead.
"It looked kind of like a scuffle or an argument, you know, and then somebody's, like, 'Knife! Knife! Run!' so I was running up the alleyway, slapping people telling them to get going, move, get off the bus. I got pushed over, some lady got pushed over, I was just making sure everybody was OK, and we all got off the bus," said Olmstead
As panicked passengers fled the bus, "the attacker was over top of the victim … continually cutting him. I think the victim was gone at that point," Caton said.
Trio tried to check on victim
Caton, the driver and a trucker who had stopped at the scene later boarded the vehicle to see if the victim was still alive.
"When we came back on the bus, it was visible at the end of the bus he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," said Caton.
The attacker ran at them, Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut as he tried to slash at the trio.
When the attacker tried to drive the bus away, the driver disabled the vehicle, Caton said.
"While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," said Caton.
"They did an awesome thing, holding him in there, because if not, what would have happened?" said Olmstead.
RCMP crisis negotiators communicated with the suspect for several hours while he was on the bus. Around 1:30 a.m., he attempted to jump from a bus window and was subdued and arrested, RCMP said.
Acted 'like he was a robot'
Caton described the attacker as surprisingly calm. "It was like he was at the beach or something. There was no rage in him. He wasn't swearing or cursing or anything. It was just like he was a robot or something."
The suspect remained on the bus for several hours and was arrested around 1:30 a.m., RCMP said. (John Woods/Canadian Press)Police cruisers arrived about 10 minutes after the attack began, he estimated, and officers began directing passengers to school buses to take them to a hotel in Brandon.
"While we were waiting on the side of the road, [the attacker] was taunting the police with the head in his hand," said Caton.
Caton described the attacker as appearing "totally normal" earlier in the journey, even chatting with a young woman as he smoked a cigarette during a break.
But when he got back on the bus, he moved his belongings from the front to a seat beside the victim in the back and about 20 minutes later began attacking the man, said Caton. "He didn't say anything to the victim at all," said Caton.
Counsellors, chaplains aid passengers
A six-year-old and other children were among the passengers who saw the horrific incident unfold, said Caton.
"It was pretty traumatic," he said, adding that some passengers said they have been unable to sleep or eat since it happened.
"It's disturbing," Olmstead agreed, adding that images of the previous night haunted him when he tried to fall asleep early Thursday morning. "I closed my eyes and I seen him in the window there, just like a madman."
Bev Cumming, head of acute care services for the Brandon Regional Health Authority, said chaplains and psychiatric nurses have been working with dozens of passengers on the bus since they arrived in Brandon.
Bus violence Recent violent incidents that have occurred on Greyhound buses in Canada: Dec. 24, 2007: A 27-year-old man is stabbed after an argument with another passenger on a bus near Tweed, Ont.
Feb. 16, 2007: A group of people in their 20s attack and beat the driver of a bus in Lloydminster, Alta.
Dec. 23, 2000: A man attempts to take control of a bus near Thunder Bay, Ont. Thirty-two passengers are injured when the bus lands on its side in a ditch. One woman later dies of her injuries.
March, 2000. A pregnant woman is attacked by a man on a bus in London, Ont. The woman suffered injuries to her arms.
"When you see something as horrifying as that, the brain locks on to those images. It's very difficult to release those images," Cumming said.
"The assistance that people will get will be along the lines of coping in the immediate phase, learning what to do to reduce the profound effect this experience will have."
Tim Sen, president of Trauma Management Group, which offers counselling and post-traumatic support in Ontario, said it will take time for bus passengers to come to terms with what they've seen.
"They will experience very, very vivid flashbacks of that occurrence. Those will usually dissipate over a period of time, but right now it's going to be very vivid [as] they're still dealing with the shock and processing this horrific event," he said.
"There's not a right or wrong way to go through this. Some people will still be in shock and being very flat in presentation, like nothing's happened. Other people may not get out of bed and not want to move for a while, or be having what we call very acute [responses], so they'll be maybe crying and not wanting to calm down at all. Everybody's going to go through this very difficult journey in a very different way."
For children on the bus, Sen said, the response will depend on the age and maturity of the child. Generally, the key message caregivers should try to convey is that the situation is over and the child is now safe.
If intense feelings and emotions and symptoms such as flashbacks don't subside within a few months, Sen said, the passengers should consider seeking professional help.
Investigation is in 'full motion': minister
Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day commented on the killing, saying that like most Canadians, he was horrified to hear witness accounts of the homicide.
"The horrific nature of it is probably one of a kind in Canadian history," he told reporters late Thursday morning in Lévis, Que.
The minister said he didn't want to say anything that would compromise the investigation, but "I can assure people that everything is in full motion and momentum to getting to the bottom of this incident."
Questioned about whether weapons regulations should be put into place for buses, Day said it would be premature to look at such precautionary measures but added that the legal process will be followed as "aggressively as possible."
The union that represents Greyhound drivers says the company must move to improve its security measures.
"All we can do is physically observe the individual's behaviour, but obviously the item of destruction got on the bus somehow, and if it was visible to any driver, he would not have boarded the bus just for that simple reason," said Jim Higgs, a spokesman for the Amalgamated Transit Union.
"There has to be some reactive measures taken, whether it be metal screening, or whether we design differently our loading policies at various depots [so] you have to funnel down a chute as your only way onto the bus…. At major terminals, I really believe now we have to do something — not only that, we have to be investigating carry-on luggage and certain things like that."
Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said the company is examining security on buses.
"We are working with Transport Canada to review inter-city bus security," she said.
"Due to the rural nature of our network, airport-type security is not practical for bus travel. It's just a completely different system."
With files from the Canadian Press | en | According to a Canadian Press report published Thursday and a CNN report Friday, 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Alberta has been arrested for allegedly stabbing and decapitating a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday night.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has not confirmed a beheading, which witnesses have described to the press, saying only that the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim around 8:30 p.m. CT on a Greyhound bus traveling east on the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometers west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day described the attack as "horrific" according to Agence France-Presse and "probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history" according to the Canadian Press.
While the RCMP has not released the victim's name, the Canadian Press and CNN have reported that the deceased is Tim McLean, 22, who had been traveling from Edmonton to Winnipeg, where he lived. Two witnesses described the attack to CBC News: Garnet Caton, who was sitting in the seat in front of the victim, and Cody Olmstead, who smoked a cigarette with the victim just minutes shortly before the attack.
"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," Caton told CBC News.
Olmstead described the attack: "Like, just everywhere, arms, legs, neck, chest, guts, wherever he could swing it, he got it."
Caton and Olmstead said that the other passengers fled. When the bus driver, a passing trucker and Caton returned to check on the victim, Caton noticed the victim's head was gone. Caton said that the attacker then chased them off the bus. CBC News reported that the suspect tried to drive the bus away from the scene, but the driver disabled the engine. Witnesses have said that the attacker then paraded the removed head from a bus window.
"While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Caton told the CBC.
"The guy came to the front of the door with buddy's head in his hands, decapitated. He dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up," Olmstead described to the Canadian Press. RCMP arrested the suspect at about 1:30 a.m. local time after a three-hour standoff. As of about 3:00 p.m. Thursday, the Canadian Press reported that the RCMP has not yet questioned the subject and had laid no charges, though he was due Friday morning in the Provincial Court of Manitoba in Portage la Prairie, according to a statement posted on the RCMP web site.

en | RCMP officers investigate a "major incident" that occured on a Greyhound bus Thursday morning, July 31, 2008 about 18km west of Portage La Prairie, Man. There are unconfirmed reports of a passenger being stabbed then decapitated onboard the bus late Wednesday, July 30, 2008. THE CANADIAN PRESS/John Woods
Victim of horrific attack on bus in Manitoba was easy-going, says friend
WINNIPEG — A quiet, easy-going carnival worker who was heading home to Winnipeg has been identified as the victim of an unthinkably horrific and random slaying on a Greyhound bus.
Friends said Tim McLean, 22, was the young man who was stabbed repeatedly and then decapitated by a man sitting next to him, who then carved up his body in front of terrified passengers.
William Caron, 23, of Winnipeg, said that contrary to some reports, McLean was not asleep when the attack happened.
"I was talking to one of his ex-girlfriends not too long ago, and she was texting him the whole way back from Edmonton until 10 minutes before this accident happens," Caron told The Canadian Press.
"He was just sitting there texting her, listening to music on his cellphone."
Manitoba RCMP had few answers Thursday as to what prompted the attack.
Police would only say that a victim was stabbed on the bus that had left Edmonton for Winnipeg, but passengers described a gruesome, unprovoked attack that left them shaken.
"It's not something that happens regularly on a bus," said Staff Sgt. Steve Colwell. "You're sitting there enjoying your trip and then all of a sudden somebody gets stabbed."
Passengers gave a much more graphic account of events.
"We heard this blood-curdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times," Garnet Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Man., where he and other passengers had been taken to rest.
"There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot, stabbing the guy."
Caton said the bus stopped immediately, just west of Portage La Prairie on Wednesday night, and everyone scrambled to get out while the attacker started methodically carving up the victim's body, not paying attention to anyone else.
There have been several media reports that the man was seen to consume some of the victim's flesh.
Caton and the driver shut the bus door from the outside while they waited for police to arrive.
"We put our bodies up against the door, waiting for him to come out ... and he went back and brought the head to the front and pretty much displayed it ... and dropped it on the ground in front of us," Caton said.
"All very calmly. He was wearing sunglasses. It was no big deal to him."
Fellow passenger Cody Olmstead from Kentville, N.S., also recalled the chilling scene.
"The guy came to the front of the door with buddy's head in his hands, decapitated. He dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up," Olmstead said.
When police arrived a few minutes later, passengers were taken away and the officers tried to get the attacker to surrender.
The man, described as a 40-year-old from outside the province, eventually tried to flee by breaking a bus window and jumping out, Colwell said.
"He was immediately subdued and arrested without incident."
Both Olmstead and Caton said the attacker and McLean appeared not to know each other.
They said the attacker boarded the bus in Brandon on Wednesday night. McLean had been on the bus since it left Edmonton.
McLean's father, Tim McLean Sr., told CBC News Thursday night that he was in the process of trying to get confirmation from the police that his son was, in fact, the victim of the attack.
The father said that his son had sent him a text message as the bus was leaving Brandon, the last leg of its journey, to ask if he could come home for the night.
McLean told his son that, of course, he could come home, and that was the last contact he had with him.
A Facebook website called "R.I.P. Tim" quickly sprang up after news of the attack.
"I can't believe this is happening," wrote Leah Dryburgh of Winnipeg. "Tim, you were the best guy ever. You didn't deserve this at all."
Caron said he was one of McLean's best friends, having known each other since they were in Grade 7.
"I knew he was coming back ... from the (exhibition)," said Caron, who said his buddy worked a carnival booth at fairs around western Canada.
"My brother was supposed to go meet him at the bus depot and he never showed up."
Caron said his three children all loved McLean, who he described as a quiet, easy-going guy.
"I was completely shocked cuz Tim has never been a roughhousing guy," he said. "He's always been a quiet guy, just kind of socialized with his buddies and that was it."
He said his friend was small, around five-foot-four and weighing maybe 130 pounds.
"From what I hear, this other guy is three times his size," Caron said. "All the time I've known Tim, he's never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there's strangers around."
Federal Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said the full weight of the law must be brought to bear on the perpetrator.
"We want to make sure the process is followed as aggressively as possible, the full legal process ...." Day said from Levis, Que., where Conservative MPs are gathered for a summer planning session.
"This particular incident, as horrific as it is, is obviously extremely rare. Certainly the horrific nature of it is probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history."
Greyhound called the event tragic but isolated.
A company spokeswoman said bus travel is the safest mode of transportation, despite the fact bus stations do not have metal detectors and other security measures used at airports.
"Due to the rural nature of our network, airport-type security is not practical. It's a very different type of system," Abby Wambaugh said from Greyhound's corporate offices in Texas.
Passengers had no explanation either as to what might have prompted the attack. The suspect had been on the bus for only about an hour and didn't even sit near McLean at first.
"He sat in the front at first, everything was normal," Caton said.
"We went to the next stop and he got off and had a smoke with another young lady there. When he got on the bus again, he came to the back near where I was sitting.
"He put his bags in the overhead compartment. He didn't say a word to anybody. He seemed totally normal. About a half an hour later, we heard this blood-curdling scream."

The minister said he didn't want to say anything that would compromise the investigation, but "I can assure people that everything is in full motion and momentum to getting to the bottom of this incident."
Questioned about whether weapons regulations should be put into place for buses, Day said it would be premature to look at such precautionary measures but added that the legal process will be followed as "aggressively as possible."
The union that represents Greyhound drivers says the company must move to improve its security measures.
"All we can do is physically observe the individual's behaviour, but obviously the item of destruction got on the bus somehow, and if it was visible to any driver, he would not have boarded the bus just for that simple reason," said Jim Higgs, a spokesman for the Amalgamated Transit Union.
"There has to be some reactive measures taken, whether it be metal screening, or whether we design differently our loading policies at various depots [so] you have to funnel down a chute as your only way onto the bus…. At major terminals, I really believe now we have to do something — not only that, we have to be investigating carry-on luggage and certain things like that."
Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said the company is examining security on buses.
"We are working with Transport Canada to review inter-city bus security," she said.
"Due to the rural nature of our network, airport-type security is not practical for bus travel. It's just a completely different system."
With files from the Canadian Press | en | According to a Canadian Press report published Thursday and a CNN report Friday, 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Alberta has been arrested for allegedly stabbing and decapitating a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday night.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has not confirmed a beheading, which witnesses have described to the press, saying only that the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim around 8:30 p.m. CT on a Greyhound bus traveling east on the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometers west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day described the attack as "horrific" according to Agence France-Presse and "probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history" according to the Canadian Press.
While the RCMP has not released the victim's name, the Canadian Press and CNN have reported that the deceased is Tim McLean, 22, who had been traveling from Edmonton to Winnipeg, where he lived. Two witnesses described the attack to CBC News: Garnet Caton, who was sitting in the seat in front of the victim, and Cody Olmstead, who smoked a cigarette with the victim just minutes shortly before the attack.
"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," Caton told CBC News.
Olmstead described the attack: "Like, just everywhere, arms, legs, neck, chest, guts, wherever he could swing it, he got it."
Caton and Olmstead said that the other passengers fled. When the bus driver, a passing trucker and Caton returned to check on the victim, Caton noticed the victim's head was gone. Caton said that the attacker then chased them off the bus. CBC News reported that the suspect tried to drive the bus away from the scene, but the driver disabled the engine. Witnesses have said that the attacker then paraded the removed head from a bus window.
"While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Caton told the CBC.
"The guy came to the front of the door with buddy's head in his hands, decapitated. He dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up," Olmstead described to the Canadian Press. RCMP arrested the suspect at about 1:30 a.m. local time after a three-hour standoff. As of about 3:00 p.m. Thursday, the Canadian Press reported that the RCMP has not yet questioned the subject and had laid no charges, though he was due Friday morning in the Provincial Court of Manitoba in Portage la Prairie, according to a statement posted on the RCMP web site.

en | Knife-wielding man beheads fellow passenger on Canadian bus
OTTAWA (AFP) — A passenger travelling across Canada's Western plains on a bus stabbed, gutted and decapitated a man seated next to him, and then taunted police with the head, a witness told media Thursday.
The victim, believed to be 18 years old, had been sleeping with headphones on his ears before he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest by the man with a "big Rambo knife," witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.
The other 34 passengers and the driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled, bracing the door on their way out to trap the assailant inside the bus, he said.
"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," said Caton.
When Caton and two others returned to check on the victim, he said they saw the attacker "cutting the guy's head off and gutting him."
"While we were watching ... he calmly walked up to the front (of the bus) with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stared at us and dropped the head right in front of us."
"There was no rage in him and he wasn't swearing or cursing or anything, it was just like he was a robot or something."
Moments later, police surrounded the bus and arrested the man after a nearly three-hour standoff, an official said. "He was taunting police with the head in his hand out the window," said Caton.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they were investigating a "major incident" that occurred at 9 pm Wednesday (0200 GMT Thursday) on a Greyhound bus travelling east from Edmonton to Winnipeg, but offered few details.
A 40-year-old man was subdued after he jumped out of a broken window of the bus parked on the side of the desolate highway, RCMP Sergeant Steve Colwell told a press conference.
"At this time, I'm not aware of what may have provoked this attack," Colwell said, refusing to confirm or deny eyewitness accounts.
"I can confirm the victim was stabbed, and that the victim was pronounced dead at the scene."

en | Day decries bus stabbing as one-of-a-kind in Canadian history
LEVIS, Que. — Public Safety Minister Stockwell is expressing shock at what he calls a "horrific" bus stabbing that he's calling one-of-a-kind in Canadian history.
Day was reacting to what witnesses say was a savage knife attack on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba that resulted in a person being killed and later beheaded.
Day, in Levis, Que., for a summer planning session of Conservative MPs, says the full weight of the law must be brought to bear on the perpetrator.
But he says such an incident is, thankfully, extremely rare - in fact he's calling it "probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history."
Day says he wouldn't even entertain the notion of registering knives as dangerous weapons, noting that millions of kitchen knives alone are likely sold each year. | en | According to a Canadian Press report published Thursday and a CNN report Friday, 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Alberta has been arrested for allegedly stabbing and decapitating a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday night.

Canada bus passenger stabs, decapitates seat mate
PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba (AP) — A traveler aboard a Greyhound bus repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated his seat mate, pausing during the savage attack in central Canada to display the head to passengers who had fled in horror, witnesses and officials said Thursday.
A 40-year-old man was arrested after the grisly slaying late Wednesday night aboard a bus en route from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell told reporters.
Police apprehended the suspect early Thursday as he tried to escape from the bus about three hours after the attack, Colwell said.
Authorities said a motive had not been determined. They declined to identify the suspect or the victim, and provided few details about the attack.
But passenger Garnet Caton said the victim, who appeared to be about 19, was sleeping with headphones on when his seat mate suddenly began stabbing him as the bus traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway, a dozen miles from Portage La Prairie.
Caton, sitting just one seat in front of the two men, said he heard no exchanges between them prior to the violence.
"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times," Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, where he and other horrified passengers were taken.
Caton said the driver stopped the bus when he became aware of the savagery going on aboard and passengers scrambled off. He said the suspect appeared to be methodically cutting into the victim's body.
"When he was attacking him, he was calm ... like he was at the beach," said Caton. "There was no rage or, or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy."
The bus driver, Caton and a trucker at the scene re-boarded to see what was happening.
Caton said he saw the suspect had the victim on the floor of the bus and "was cutting his head off and pretty much gutting him" with a large hunting knife.
The attacker turned toward them and the three men quickly left the bus, blocking the door as the attacker slashed at them through an opening. The three secured the door to prevent the man from fleeing. Caton said the driver disabled the vehicle after the attacker tried to drive it away.
As the three guarded the door with a crow bar and a hammer, the attacker went back to the body and calmly came to the front of the bus to show off the head.
Fellow passenger Cody Olmstead said the man "dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body." Olmstead said the man later taunted police and dropped the head in front of them.
Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said 37 passengers were aboard, many watching the on-board movie "Zorro" when the violence erupted.
"You're sitting there enjoying your trip and then all of a sudden somebody gets stabbed. I imagine it would be pretty traumatic," Colwell said.
He said the actions of truck driver, bus driver and Caton probably prevented anyone else from being hurt. They "were very brave."
The victim had been on the bus since Edmonton. Caton said the attacker boarded the bus in Brandon, Manitoba, about 80 miles west of Portage La Prairie.
The suspect had been on the bus about an hour and initially did not sit near the victim, Caton said.
"He sat in the front at first, everything was normal," Caton said.
"We went to the next stop and he got off and had a smoke with another young lady there. When he got on the bus again, he came to the back near where I was sitting.
"He put his bags in the overhead compartment. He didn't say a word to anybody. He seemed totally normal," Caton said.
Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day called the attack bizarre, but did not discuss details, saying he did not want to jeopardize the investigation.

A moins de quarante-huit heures du référendum prévu jeudi 18 septembre sur l'indépendance de l'Ecosse, difficile de parier sur l'issue du scrutin tant celui-ci sera ouvert. Toutefois, trois sondages publiés dans la soirée de mardi 16 septembre donnent le « non » des partisans de l'union en avance de 4 points sur leurs opposants.
Leurs résultats sont, en effet, identiques si l'on exclut les personnes sans opinion : le « no » l'emporte dans tous les cas avec 52 % des intentions de vote face au « yes », qui recueille, lui, 48 %. Ces enquêtes ont été réalisées à partir de vendredi, jour où les deux camps ont encore accentué leurs efforts pour convaincre les électeurs.
Le camp des indépendantistes a salué l'annonce de ces trois sondages. « Nous sommes tout près d'un succès jeudi », a ainsi réagi Blair Jenkins, à la tête du mouvement Yes Scotland.
« LE SERMENT »
Mardi, les trois partis traditionnels britanniques ont joué leur va-tout en publiant une déclaration conjointe solennelle promettant une autonomie accrue aux Ecossais s'ils votaient non à l'indépendance. La tribune, qui réitère des engagements pris précédemment, a été publiée en « une » du principal quotidien écossais, le Daily Record, sous le titre « Le serment » (« The Vow »).
Lire aussi : Le « serment » de Cameron, Miliband et Clegg à l'Ecosse
Le document a été signé par le premier ministre conservateur, David Cameron, le leader du parti d'opposition travailliste, Ed Miliband, et le vice-premier ministre libéral-démocrate, Nick Clegg. Selon le texte, en cas de victoire du non, les négociations sur le transfert de nouveaux pouvoirs à Edimbourg démarreraient dès le lendemain du référendum. Les auteurs du texte se sont engagés à ce que le gouvernement écossais ait « le dernier mot » sur le financement du National Health Service (NHS), son système de santé public, l'un des thèmes majeurs de la campagne.
Pour le premier ministre écossais et chef de file des indépendantistes, Alex Salmond, il s'agit d'une « offre vide de dernière minute ». Elle ne va « pas dissuader le peuple d'Ecosse de saisir jeudi l'immense opportunité de confier à l'Ecosse l'avenir de l'Ecosse », a-t-il déclaré à la BBC.
L'EFFERVESCENCE CONTINUE
Mais à Londres, certains s'inquiètent des concessions accordées à Edimbourg. Selon plusieurs commentateurs, elles menaceraient de conduire à une fédéralisation, voire une « balkanisation » du Royaume-Uni.
Quoi qu'il en soit, un nombre record d'électeurs écossais se sont inscrits pour voter et le taux de participation promet d'être très élevé. A Edimbourg, les médias du monde entier affluent pour couvrir l'éventuelle naissance d'une nouvelle nation et son corollaire, l'affaiblissement douloureux d'un royaume.

Alors que le référendum sur l'indépendance écossaise se tiendra maintenant dans moins de 24 heures, trois nouveaux sondages publiés dans la soirée du mardi 16 septembre laissent entendre que le « non » devrait l'emporter sur le « oui » avec quatre points d'avance.
Les indépendantistes ont salué ces trois sondages. En effet, Blair Jenkins, à la tête du mouvement Yes Scotland, a affirmé .
Un nombre record d'électeurs écossais se sont inscrits et le taux de participation sera en conséquence probablement très élevé. À Édimbourg, les médias du monde entier se trouvent sur place pour couvrir l'événement qui pourrait bouleverser la géopolitique mondiale. |
es | Chávez firmó Ley de Amnistía y concedió 36 indultos el 31D
El presidente de la República aspira que la Ley de Amnistía contribuya a que el país "marche hacia la paz" (ARCHIVO) Artículos relacionados - Los liberados y los que seguirán tras las rejas Los beneficios no incluyen a los delitos de lesa humanidad EUGENIO MARTÍNEZ
EL UNIVERSAL Venezuela ya tiene Ley de Amnistía. La principal petición de los sectores que adversan al presidente Hugo Chávez fue cumplida por el mandatario en las últimas horas del año 2007. No obstante, el alcance del decreto que será publicado hoy en Gaceta Oficial es parcial y excluye del indulto a los ciudadanos procesados por delitos de lesa humanidad o que estén prófugos de la justicia. El decreto firmado por Chávez no precisa número de beneficiados, pero concede la amnistía a las personas que participaron en la redacción y firma del decreto de Carmona Estanga el 12 de abril de 2002; a quienes participaron en la toma de las gobernaciones de Mérida y Táchira; a los involucrados en la privación de libertad de Ramón Rodríguez Chacín; a los ciudadanos que hayan instigado a delinquir y a la rebelión militar hasta el 2 de diciembre de 2007; a quienes estén involucrados en los hechos de puente Llaguno en abril de 2002, siempre y cuando no hayan estado involucrados en delitos de lesa humanidad; a los involucrados en el allanamiento de la casa de la diputada Iris Varela en abril de 2002, los responsables de la toma de VTV en el 2002 y los involucrados en la toma de los buques petroleros. Adicionalmente el Presidente indultó a 36 procesados por delitos comunes. La Ley de Amnistía no beneficiará a quienes estén prófugos de la justicia o que estén señalados de incurrir en delitos de lesa humanidad; lo que implica que las causas siguen abiertas en contra de los comisarios Lázaro Forero, Henry Vivas e Iván Simonovis; el ex gobernador del estado Miranda, Enrique Mendoza, el ex gobernador del estado Yaracuy Eduardo Lappi, el ex presidente de la CTV, Carlos Ortega, y los militares que participaron en los sucesos de 2002. Chávez explicó que con la promulgación de la ley de Amnistía se intenta "lanzar una señal al país para que los sectores que quieran llevarnos por el camino de la violencia y de la desestabilización desistan". El instrumento también servirá para "llamar a reflexión a las instituciones y luchar contra la impunidad" Al momento de anunciar la promulgación de la Ley de Amnistía -a través de un contacto telefónico con VTV- el Presidente insistió en que es necesario "pasar la página". "Quisiéramos un país que marche hacia la paz". Insistió en las tres lineas de acción que caracterizarán al Gobierno en el 2008. "Revisar, hay que volver a verlo todo, hay que revisar el papel del canal 8, el de TVes (canal 2) que casi nadie la ve. Rectificar ideas, planes y programas para lograr el reimpulso moral y revolucionario". [email protected] | es | Hugo Chávez.
El presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez sorpresivamente anunció, justo antes de finalizar el 2007, un decreto de Ley sobre Amnistía e Indulto que favorece a un conjunto de personas acusadas de cometer delitos políticos durante el Golpe de Estado de 2002 y el Paro petrolero de 2002-2003.
Chávez indicó que la decisión de firmar la amnistía se debe a la "demostración de que queremos la paz y que haya fuerte debate político y social pero en paz", que intenta "lanzar una señal al país para que los sectores que quieran llevarnos por el camino de la violencia y de la desestabilización desistan" y que es necesario "pasar la página".
El decreto de esta ley fue posible gracias a la Ley Habilitante aprobada por la Asamblea Nacional en 2007, que permite a Chávez legislar por decreto hasta mediados de 2008.
La amnistía trata específicamente los siguientes delitos políticos:
* Por los sucesos acaecidos en Puente Llaguno el 11 de abril de 2002 que no sean crímenes de lesa humanidad.
* Por redactar o firmar el decreto del gobierno de facto de Pedro Carmona en abril de 2002.
* Por la toma violenta del canal estatal Venezolana de Televisión el 12 de abril de 2002.
* Por la toma violenta de la gobernación de Mérida el 12 de abril de 2002.
* Por la toma violenta de la gobernación del Táchira en abril de 2002.
* Por la toma violenta del Palacio de Justicia del Táchira en abril de 2002.
* Por la toma violenta de la alcaldía de Junín en el estado Táchira en abril de 2002.
* Por la privación ilegítima de libertad del entonces ministro de Interior y Justicia Ramón Rodríguez Chacín el 12 de abril de 2002.
* Por el allanamiento de la casa de Iris Varela en abril de 2002.
* Por los hechos violentos sucedidos en buques petroleros durante el paro petrolero de 2002-2003.
* Por la comisión de delitos de instigación y rebelión militar ocurridos hasta el 2 de diciembre de 2007.
Chávez indicó que la ley de amnistía no amparará a aquellos acusados que sean prófugos de la justicia, que no se hayan puesto a derecho o que hayan cometido crímenes de lesa humanidad.
Por otra parte el presidente venezolano además indultó a 36 procesados por delitos comunes debido a "distintas razones humanitarias, como esa terrible enfermedad del sida, por buena conducta, por haber cumplido más de la mitad de la condena", según expresó.
=== Reacciones ===
El secretario general de la Organización de Estados Americanos, José Miguel Insulza, saludó la iniciativa del presidente Chávez e indicó que el acto de amnistiar a personas que participaron en actos "directamente en su contra ... demuestra su voluntad de dejar atrás agravios y diferencias del pasado, y apunta hacia la paz y la reconciliación nacional, que son objetivos primordiales de la democracia".
Personas vinculadas con la oposición vieron con buenos ojos la medida pero pidieron una ampliación. Los representantes del Foro Penal Venezolano, Mónica Fernández y Gonzalo Himiob, calificaron la amnistía como un "gesto positivo", pero solicitaron que ésta fuera ampliada para favorecer a aquellas personas que no se han puesto a derecho y a quienes se encuentran en el exterior.
En tanto, el cardenal Jorge Urosa Sabino denominó a la amnistía como el "autobús de la libertad" e indicó que "es un paso en la línea de la reconciliación en la que tanto hemos insistido los obispos en Venezuela", pero también pidió la ampliación de la amnistía para amparar a los comisarios Iván Simonovis, Henry Vivas y Lázaro Forero — presuntos responsables de los hechos ocurridos en la tarde del 11 de abril de 2002 y acusados por crímenes de lesa humanidad — y el dirigente estudiantil opositor Nixon Moreno, acusado de homicidio culposo e intento de violación de una mujer policía.
Por otra parte, el ex-Fiscal General de la República, Isaías Rodríguez, explicó que las amnistías son una "especie de perdón que se ha utilizado en algunos momentos históricos para relajar tensiones y propiciar la convivencia en la diversidad" y manifestó sus deseos de que "en Venezuela haya un proceso de reflexión por la madurez política del pueblo, madurez que debe ser alentada, la cual ahora tiene capacidad de reflexión y de debate, de información, de inclusión. La idea es que que el pueblo mismo sea autor de sus propias decisiones y contribuya desde las bases de la sociedad a ser un factor político importante".
Finalmente, el diputado a la Asamblea Nacional y aspirante a militante del Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela Carlos Escarrá afirmó que la amnistía "resalta el carácter humanista" de Hugo Chávez, y añadió que ahora los jueces venezolanos son quienes se encargarán de determinar las personas que deban recibir esos beneficios. |
es | El gesto del presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez de incluir en un indulto a algunos de los que participaron en actos "directamente en su contra (...) demuestra su voluntad de dejar atrás agravios y diferencias del pasado'', dijo el miércoles el secretario general de la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA), José Miguel Insulza.
Insulza, a quien en el 2007 Chávez insultó soezmente por pedirle más respeto a la libertad de expresión, dijo que esperaba que "en este año que se inicia, Venezuela y todos los países de la región continúen por una senda de progreso democrático, dejen de lado sus diferencias y se unan en el logro de nuestros objetivos comunes''.
Chávez promulgó el lunes un decreto que indulta a los acusados por delitos relacionados con el fallido golpe de estado en su contra en abril del 2002. Pero la medida no alcanza a los que están prófugos o asilados en el extranjero y no se sabe tampoco de momento cuántos acusados serán beneficiados.
"Ya es suficiente, es cuestión de pasar la pagina (...) quisiéramos un país que marche hacia la paz'', dijo el presidente.
Insulza afirmó en una declaración escrita que al incluir en ese indulto a personas vinculadas al golpe, Chávez "demuestra su voluntad de dejar atrás agravios y diferencias del pasado, y apunta hacia la paz y la reconciliación nacional, que son objetivos primordiales de la democracia''. | es | Hugo Chávez.

es | (02:27 PM) Foro Penal cataloga de positiva Ley de Amnistía pero pide que no haya discriminación
Caracas.- El representante del Foro Penal Venezolano, Gonzalo Himiob, dijo que era un "gesto positivo" para Venezuela la aprobación de la Ley de Amnistía decretada por el presidente Hugo Chávez pero llamó a que no exista discriminación en su aplicación. "Creo, por ejemplo, que la amnistía sólo va a favorecer a quienes se han puesto derecho y no aquellos que no se han puesto a derecho. (Esperamos) Se reconozca la existencia de adversarios políticos que merecen respeto y no criminilazacion", indicó Himiob. Solicitó que se publique íntegramente en gaceta el texto completo de la amnistía decretada. "Es indispensable para la salud emocional del país que se sepa con claridad cuál es el contenido exacto de esta Ley de Amnistía".
Mónica Fernández, abogada y miembro del Foro Penal, pidió que se incluya en la Ley de Amnistía a las personas inhabilitadas políticamente y aquellos que se encuentran en el exterior. Se refirió a la reconciliación que a su juicio debe darse en el país. "El presidente dijo ya basta quiero pasar la página pero la página no puede ser pasada por pedacitos ( ) Esa reconciliación debe empezar reconociéndose la disidencia política". | es | Hugo Chávez.
El presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez sorpresivamente anunció, justo antes de finalizar el 2007, un decreto de Ley sobre Amnistía e Indulto que favorece a un conjunto de personas acusadas de cometer delitos políticos durante el Golpe de Estado de 2002 y el Paro petrolero de 2002-2003.
Chávez indicó que la decisión de firmar la amnistía se debe a la "demostración de que queremos la paz y que haya fuerte debate político y social pero en paz", que intenta "lanzar una señal al país para que los sectores que quieran llevarnos por el camino de la violencia y de la desestabilización desistan" y que es necesario "pasar la página".
El decreto de esta ley fue posible gracias a la Ley Habilitante aprobada por la Asamblea Nacional en 2007, que permite a Chávez legislar por decreto hasta mediados de 2008.
La amnistía trata específicamente los siguientes delitos políticos:
* Por los sucesos acaecidos en Puente Llaguno el 11 de abril de 2002 que no sean crímenes de lesa humanidad.
* Por redactar o firmar el decreto del gobierno de facto de Pedro Carmona en abril de 2002.

es | El cardenal Jorge Urosa Sabino se pronunció este martes desde la maternidad Concepción Palacios sobre la Ley de Amnistía que firmó el presidente Hugo Chávez el último día del año 2007 a la que llamó "Autobús de la Libertad".
"Me siento contento. Es un paso en la línea de la reconciliación en la que tanto hemos insistido los obispos en Venezuela", dijo.
Urosa expresó que la medida alivia la tensiones que se viven en el país pero que el beneficio debería ser ampliado para más personas, como los presos políticos y ex comisarios Iván Simonovis, Henry Vivas, Lázaro Forero y al dirigente estudiantil Nixon Moreno.
"Creo que es importante que estos comisarios Simonovis, Vivas y Forero, que llevan ya tres años presos, y con juicios que no terminan, que puedan recuperar su libertad. Los sucesos de Puente Llaguno por los que se les acusan son muy confusos", alegó.
El cardenal dijo que la decisión del Presidente Chávez es un gesto "muy bueno" y en esa línea se debe mover el país para la reconciliación. | es | Hugo Chávez.

es | Destacan carácter humanista de Chávez por ley de amnistía
Caracas, 2 ene (PL) La ley de amnistía para determinados delitos de carácter político firmada por el presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, resalta el carácter humanista en la gestión del mandatario, afirmó hoy el diputado Carlos Escarrá. En declaraciones a Venezolana de Televisión, el legislador indicó que el estadista utilizó para ello recursos legales a su disposición, toda vez que cuenta con la Habilitante aprobada el pasado año. Por ello, añadió, en el decreto presidencial se establecen los delitos a los cuales se extiende la influencia de la amnistía. Ahora, añadió Escarrá, serán los jueces quienes se encargarán de determinar las personas susceptibles de recibir los beneficios de esa decisión. Por su parte, el ex fiscal general Isaías Rodríguez llamó a los seguidores de Chávez a ver esa acción como un acto político, con vistas a propiciar un debate de mayor alcance en la sociedad. La amnistía, expresó el experto, no debe necesariamente ser vista como una reconciliación, pues para ello de manera previa tendría que haber ocurrido una conciliación. "Aquí no ha habido conciliación por parte de los sectores de oposición", recordó Rodríguez, lo cual contrasta con manifestaciones expresadas por parte de Chávez de "tender la mano en algunos momentos para aflojar situaciones". Sobre el tema, Chávez indicó que ese paso tiene un objetivo político-humanitario y expresó la esperanza que sus seguidores la recibieran en el espíritu de hacer marchar el país por la paz, entendimiento y respeto de las diferencias. mgt mem PL-34 Versión para imprimir Enviar a un amigo | es | Hugo Chávez.

de | 14.06.2008 18:15 Erdbeben in Japan: Radioaktives Wasser ausgetreten Sechs Tote und 140 Verletzte forderte ein Beben im Nordosten von Japan. Zudem trat radioaktives Wasser bei einem hiesigen AKW aus. Foto: AP Ein Erdbeben der Stärke 7,2 im Norden Japans hat am Samstag mindestens sechs Menschen das Leben gekostet. Mindestens 140 weitere wurden verletzt, wie die Behörden mitteilten. Zehn Bewohner der Region werden noch vermisst. Erdrutsche blockierten Landstraßen, was die Rettungsarbeiten erschwerte. Der Fernsehsender HNK zeigte Aufnahmen einer eingestürzten Brücke.
Rettungseinsatz. Ministerpräsident Yasuo Fukida erklärte, die Regierung mobilisiere Soldaten, die Polizei und weitere Einsatzkräfte, um die Vermissten zu finden und Verletzte zu behandeln. Das Verteidigungsministerium entsandte ein Dutzend Hubschrauber, Flugzeuge und 760 Soldaten in die Region. Die Streitkräfte flogen Hilfsgüter in das betroffene Gebiet und brachten Verletzte in Krankenhäuser.
AKW betroffen. In einem Atomkraftwerk spritzten 20 Liter Wasser aus zwei Becken, in denen verbrauchte Brennstäbe lagern, wie Kabinettsekretär Nobutaka Machimura erklärte. Das Wasser sei jedoch nicht in die Umwelt gelangt. Zwei Atomkraftwerke mit insgesamt zehn Reaktoren würden inspiziert, es seien zunächst keine Schäden festgestellt worden, sagte Machimura weiter. Die Stromversorger Tohuku Electric Power und Tokyo Electric Power teilten mit, die Atomkraftwerke Onagawa und Fukushima arbeiteten normal. Im Erdbebengebiet waren dennoch 29.000 Haushalte ohne Strom.
Nachbeben. Die Erdbebenwarte in Tokio registrierte den ersten Erdstoß um 8.43 Uhr Ortszeit (1.43 Uhr MESZ) in der Präfektur Iwate. Augenzeugen sagten, die Erde habe in der ländlichen Gegend 30 Sekunden lang gebebt. Danach gab es mehr als 150 Nachbeben. Nach Erdrutschen saßen 100 Badegäste in einem Thermalbad fest, wie die Behörden erklärten.
Tote. Bei den Toten handelte es sich nach Angaben Machimuras um einen Mann, der in Panik aus einem schwankenden Haus lief und von einem Lastwagen überfahren wurde. Zwei Männer wurden bei verschiedenen Erdrutschen verschüttet, und ein Bauarbeiter kam ums Leben, als er von einem herabfallenden Stein getroffen wurde.
Epizentrum. Ein Behördensprecher in einer der am härtesten getroffenen Städte, Kurihara, sagte, eine genaue Schadensfeststellung sei wegen zerstörter Straßen nur schwer möglich. Abgelegene Dörfer seien noch nicht erreicht worden. Iwate liegt rund 450 Kilometer nördlich von Tokio. Das Beben war auch in der Hauptstadt zu spüren. Das Epizentrum lag in etwa acht Kilometern Tiefe. "Es hat so heftig gebebt, dass ich nicht stillstehen konnte. Ich musste mich an die Wand lehnen", sagte Masanori Oikawa, ein Mitarbeiter der Stadtverwaltung von Oshu.
Gefährdet. Japan ist eine der weltweit am meisten erdbebengefährdeten Regionen. Im vergangenen Juli kamen bei einem Erdbeben der Stärke 6,8 in derselben Region elf Menschen ums Leben. Das Epizentrum lag vor einem Jahr in Niigata, etwas südwestlich von dem des Bebens am Samstag. Damals wurde auch ein Atomreaktor beschädigt. 1995 kamen bei einem Erdbeben in Kobe 6.400 Menschen ums Leben.

Ein Erdbeben der Stärke 6,8 ereignete sich nach Angaben des Geologischen Dienstes der USA am Samstag um 8:43 Uhr (Ortszeit) 85 Kilometer südsüdwestlich von Morioka in der Region Iwate in rund zehn Kilometern Tiefe. Die Region befindet sich im Norden der japanischen Hauptinsel Honshū. Die Dauer des Bebens wurde von Augenzeugen mit 30 Sekunden angegeben. Auch im 390 Kilometer entfernten Tokio waren die Erschütterungen spürbar. Danach wurden 150 Nachbeben registriert. Laut Pressemeldungen starben dabei wenigstens sechs Menschen, mindestens 140 weitere Personen wurden verletzt. Zwölf Menschen werden nach Angaben der japanischen Behörden vermisst.
Straßen und Brücken wurden beschädigt oder durch Erdrutsche versperrt. Das Beben beeinträchtigte auch die Stromversorgung; 29.000 Haushalte waren kurzfristig ohne Strom. Im Kernkraftwerk Fukushima gab es ein Leck mit radioaktivem Wasser. Nach Aussagen des Kabinettsekretärs Nobutaka Machimura spritzten infolge der Erdstöße etwa 20 Liter Wasser aus zwei Becken, in denen radioaktives Material gelagert wurde. Die Betreibergesellschaft gab die Wassermenge mit 14,8 Litern Wasser an. Radioaktivität sei jedoch nicht in die Umwelt gelangt. Ein Kraftwerkssprecher sagte, die Radioaktivität des freigesetzten Wassers liege „weit unter dem Level, das möglicherweise die Umwelt in Mitleidenschaft ziehen könnte“.

de | Mindestens sechs Tote bei schwerem Erdbeben in Japan
Tokio (AFP) — Bei einem schweren Erdbeben der Stärke 7,2 im Norden Japans sind mindestens sechs Menschen getötet und etwa hundert weitere verletzt worden. Zudem werden nach Angaben der Behörden mindestens zwölf Menschen vermisst. Durch das Beben trat in einem Atomkraftwerk in Fukushima eine kleine Menge radioaktives Wasser aus. Es bestehe jedoch keine Gefahr für die Bevölkerung, erklärte die Betreibergesellschaft. Der Erdstoß, dem rund hundert Nachbeben folgten, riss Straßen und Felder auf. Rund 30.000 Haushaltewaren ohe Strom.
Die Erschütterung war auch noch in der 500 Kilometer entfernten Hauptstadt Tokio zu spüren. Am wichtigsten sei nun die Rettung von Menschenleben, sagte der japanische Regierungschef Yasuo Fukuda. Die Regierung entsandte Soldaten in die betroffenen Bezirke Miyagi und Iwate, die mit Helikoptern die bergige Region nach Opfern des Bebens absuchten. Häuser und Brücken wurden zerstört, Erdrutsche und Risse machten zahlreiche Straßen unbefahrbar. Mindestes zwölf Menschen galten als vermisst, unter ihnen drei Ausländer die nahe der Stadt Kurihara auf einem Campingausflug waren. Ein Kurhotel nahe der Thermalquellen von Komanoyu wurde komplett zerstört. Dort wurden sieben Menschen vermisst.
Das Epizentrum lag in der Region Iwate im Norden der japanischen Hauptinsel Honshu. In einem Atomkraftwerk in Fukushima traten durch den Erdstoß nach Angaben der Betreibergesellschaft 14,8 Liter Wasser aus einem Becken aus, in dem radioaktive Geräte gelagert wurden. "Die Strahlung des Wassers liegt weit unter dem Level, das möglicherweise die Umwelt in Mitleidenschaft ziehen könnte", sagte ein Sprecher des Werkes. Das Atomkraftwerk laufe weiter.
Japan ist stets von Erdbeben bedroht. Am 16. Juli 2007 hatte ein Beben der Stärke 6,8 zu schweren Schäden geführt. Elf Menschen starben, mehr als tausend wurden verletzt. Auch das größte Atomkraftwerk der Welt in Kashiwazaki wurde dabei beschädigt.

Earthquake Summary
The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred about 85 km (50 miles) SSE of Akita, Honshu, Japan or about 100 km (60 miles) NNW of Sendai, Honshu, Japan or about 390 km (240 miles) N of TOKYO, Japan at 5:43 PM MDT, Jun 13, 2008 (Jun 14 at 8:43 AM local time in Japan). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. No reports of damage or casualties have been received at this time; however, this earthquake may have caused damage due to its location and size.
Tectonic Summary
The Mw 6.8 Honshu earthquake of June 13th 2008 occurred in a region of convergence between the Pacific Plate and the Okhotsk section of the North American Plate in northern Japan, where the Pacific plate is moving west-northwest with respect to North America at a rate of approximately 8.3 cm/yr. The hypocenter of the earthquake indicates shallow thrusting motion in the upper (Okhotsk) plate, above the subducting Pacific plate, which lies at approximately 80 km depth at this location.
The earthquake occurred in a region of upper-plate contraction, probably within the complicated tectonics of the Ou Backbone Range, known to have hosted several large earthquakes in historic times. The largest of these events occurred in 1896, approximately 70km north of the June 13th event, and killed over 200 people in the local area.

Die Betreibergesellschaft gab die Wassermenge mit 14,8 Litern Wasser an. Radioaktivität sei jedoch nicht in die Umwelt gelangt. Ein Kraftwerkssprecher sagte, die Radioaktivität des freigesetzten Wassers liege „weit unter dem Level, das möglicherweise die Umwelt in Mitleidenschaft ziehen könnte“.
Für die Suche nach Überlebenden und zur Unterstützung der betroffenen Region mit Hilfsgütern sowie den Abtransport von Verletzten entsandte das japanische Verteidigungsministerium ein Dutzend Hubschrauber, Flugzeuge und 760 Soldaten. |
en | PYONGYANG, North Korea (CNN) -- The absence of the North Korean president from Tuesday's parade celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Communist nation has revived questions about Kim Jong Il's health.
Thousands of North Koreans watched the military parade in Pyongyang.
A U.S. intelligence official told CNN Tuesday that Kim has been suffering from serious health problems, and may have had a stroke.
U.S. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said the White House is aware of the reports, but has no additional information.
There have been reports that Kim suffers from heart disease and diabetes but he has denied these.
Filling in for him at the parade was the second-in-command of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Yong Nam, said Naoko Aoki of Japan's Kyodo news agency, who reported from the event.
Kim also was absent at events on the eve of the anniversary, including a meeting of government officials, Aoki said.
North Koreans filled Pyongyang's main square, which can hold about 100,000 people, she said.
Participating in the parade were paramilitary troops, which are not part of North Korea's regular army -- there were no members of the regular army, navy or air force, Aoki said.
There were anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery on display, but no tanks or missiles, she added.
Kim also holds the post of supreme commander of the Korean People's Army.

All About South Korea • North Korea • Kim Il-sung | de | Hat der nordkoreanische Führer Kim Jong-il einen Schlaganfall erlitten? Das zumindest vermutet der US-Geheimdienst in Washington D.C.

de | Spekulationen über Krankheit Kim Jong Ils
Bei der Militärparade zum 60. Gründungstag des kommunistischen Staates in Nordkorea fehlte offenbar Kim Jong Il. Das nährt Spekulationen über eine Herzkrankheit des Machthabers.

In Abwesenheit von Militärmachthaber Kim Jong Il hat Nordkorea am Dienstag zum 60. Gründungstag des kommunistischen Staates eine große Parade in Pjöngjang abgehalten. Kim habe sich im Gegensatz zum 55. und 50. Gründungstag des weitgehend abgeschotteten Staates nicht vor dem Volk gezeigt, berichtete die japanische Nachrichtenagentur Kyodo aus Pjöngjang. Auch die regulären Streitkräfte hätten nicht teilgenommen.
Gesundheitszustand Kims ist Staatsgeheimnis
Auf dem Kim-Il-Sung-Platz im Zentrum der Hauptstadt sei dagegen Nordkoreas "Zivilarmee" - militärisch ausgebildete Arbeiter- und Bauernverbände - aufmarschiert. Begleitet wurden die Feiern zur Staatsgründung von neuen Sorgen im Ausland über die Atomwaffenpläne Nordkoreas, Berichten über eine Verschärfung der Versorgungskrise im Land sowie Gerüchten über Kims Gesundheitszustand.
Die große Aufmerksamkeit im Ausland hatte deshalb der Frage gegolten, ob der Machthaber anlässlich des Gründungstages in der Öffentlichkeit erscheinen würde. Die auflagenstärkste südkoreanische Zeitung "Chosun Ilbo" zitierte einen Diplomaten aus Südkorea in Peking mit den Worten, Kim sei am 22. August zusammengebrochen. Der 66-jährige Machthaber soll herzkrank sein und an Diabetes leiden. Kims Gesundheitszustand gilt als Staatsgeheimnis.
TV-Bilder bestätigen Verdacht
Auch Bilder des staatlichen nordkoreanischen Fernsehens von der Parade hätten bestätigt, dass Kim nicht auf der Tribüne gestanden habe, berichtete die südkoreanische Nachrichtenagentur Yonhap. Zu sehen gewesen seien das protokollarische Staatsoberhaupt Kim Yong Nam - die Nummer Zwei in der Machthierarchie des Landes - sowie Kims erster Stellvertreter in der Nationalen Verteidigungskommission, Jo Myong Rok.
In der offiziellen nordkoreanischen Zeitung "Rodong Shinmun" wurde unterdessen zur Stärkung der militärischen Macht und zur Einheit aufgerufen. "Es gibt keine Grenze für die ideologische und geistige Macht des Militärs und des Volkes, die unter ihrem Führer vereint sind", hieß es.
Festgefahrene Verhandlungen mit den USA
Die internationalen Verhandlungen über ein Ende des Atomwaffenprogramms sind zurzeit festgefahren. Um seiner Forderung nach der zugesagten Streichung von der US-Liste der "Schurkenstaaten" und der Aufhebung von Handelssanktionen Nachdruck zu verleihen, hatte Nordkorea zuletzt mit der Wiederaufnahme der Herstellung von nuklearem Material gedroht. Nach südkoreanischen Angaben hat Nordkorea bereits Schritte zum Wiederaufbau der nahezu unbrauchbar gemachten Atomanlagen im Nuklearzentrum Yongbyon unternommen. Washington erwartet, dass Pjöngjang einem Verfahren zur strikten Überprüfung der im Juni vorgelegten Angaben über sein Atomprogramm zustimmt.

en | FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. An Eagle Mountain man who was the lone survivor of a midair helicopter crash here on Sunday died shortly after 10 a.m. Friday at the Flagstaff Medical Center.
James Taylor, 36, was an emergency nurse at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake as well as a part-time member of an Arizona helicopter medical staff.
Taylor was part of a medical team aboard a Bell 407 helicopter transferring a patient to Flagstaff Medical Center on Sunday when it collided with another, identical helicopter also performing a patient transfer. The incident, still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, occurred about a half-mile from the medical center in this north-central Arizona city. Six people, including two patients, died at the scene.
Reached by phone Friday, Taylor's sister, who asked not to be identified, said her brother died doing what he loved.
"He loved serving others ... and especially being paged for lifeflight duty," his sister said. "He gave his life trying to save another ... he truly was a hero."
Taylor's sister, a Salt Lake County resident, said her brother is survived by his wife and three young sons, and extended family, most of whom are Utah residents.
Story continues below
Taylor had been working at St. Mark's only for a short time following 17 years of employment as a registered nurse at Intermountain Medical Center. He was also a member of the Utah Army Reserve and a Desert Storm veteran.
Taylor's sister said that the family had not received any further information regarding the cause of the collision, but a voice-mail message on the Flagstaff Police Department information line indicated that a news conference on the accident was scheduled for July 8 at 9 a.m.
Funeral arrangements for Taylor are pending, but a fund for the family, the James Taylor Memorial Fund, has been established at Zion's Bank. | en | A Bell 407 in Germany. Both the helicopters were Bell 407s.
The death toll in a collision between two helicopters in Arizona, United States has been finalised at seven after the only survivor died. James Taylor was an emergency nurse present on one of the helicopters, which were both Bell 407s performing patient transfers to nearby Flagstaff Medical Center. The other six, including two patients, died at the scene.
Taylor, 36, worked at Salt Lake's St. Mark's Hospital, and also part-time with Life Flight, who operated the helicopter he was on board at the time. He had only recently started working at St. Mark's after 17 years at the Intermountain Medical Center, and was also a veteran of Desert Storm as a member of the Utah Army Reserve.
His sister said of him "He loved serving others ... and especially being paged for lifeflight duty. He gave his life trying to save another ... he truly was a hero." As well as an extended family mostly residing in Utah Taylor is survived by his wife and three young sons.

El presidente Felipe Calderón acordó con los coordinadores parlamentarios del Senado –con excepción de los de PRD y PT– el relanzamiento de la reforma política, a efecto de que pueda ser aprobada en el próximo periodo de sesiones del Congreso. Se busca, entre otros aspectos, lograr cambios para que se modernice el sistema presidencial mexicano , resumió el presidente de la mesa directiva, Manlio Fabio Beltrones (PRI).
De acuerdo con asistentes, se pactó destrabar proyectos que están detenidos en el Congreso pues, dijeron, hay principio de consenso en diversos temas. En un comunicado, Presidencia informó que se acordó este relanzamiento sobre la base de las iniciativas de reforma presentadas previamente en el Congreso y los avances que se han logrado en la materia .
En su cuenta de Twitter, Calderón destacó: Tuve una reunión muy positiva con la Junta de Coordinación Política del Senado. Decidimos reimpulsar la reforma política y otros temas .
Fueron más de dos horas y media de reunión en Palacio Nacional, en la que también se abordó –a insistencia del PRI– la situación de órganos reguladores como las comisiones Federal de Telecomunicaciones, Reguladora de Energía y Federal de Competencia. “Se trata –dijo Beltrones– de construir verdaderos órganos reguladores del Estado, no del gobierno en turno, y dar certeza jurídica a todos los jugadores que en el futuro atiendan las invitaciones a participar en cualquier negocio del país.”
En el encuentro se comentó que en el Senado hay 38 temas relacionados con la reforma política, por lo que se enfatizó en la necesidad de procesarlos, porque de no aprobarse una reforma a más tardar en el próximo periodo de sesiones, los comicios de 2012 tendrían que disputarse con las normas actuales, dijo Luis Maldonado, coordinador de Convergencia. | es | Felipe Calderón, presidente de México, se reunió con representantes del Senado en la Residencia Oficial de Los Pinos. En dicho encuentro, se acordó retomar la reforma política del estado mexicano. Por primera vez en cuatro años de mandato de Calderón, se reunieron formalmente representantes del poder legislativo con el ejecutivo.
Acudieron a la cita los coordinadores de los partidos políticos del senado mexicano. Entre los temas tratados, se encontró el de la posibilidad de gobiernos de coalición entre un determinado partido ganador en una elección de un estado de México, a fin de co gobernar aliado de otro con el que coincida en objetivos y en formar un gabinete plural. También se incluiría en la discusión de la reforma política los mecanismos de rendición de cuentas de los servidores públicos.
Otros temas tratados entre Calderón y los senadores fueron el análisis del fuero militar, para que marinos y militares sean juzgados por tribunales civiles en caso de cometer delitos del fuero común, y la autonomía y atribuciones de los organismos que regulan la actividad burocrática.
En la reunión, no se presentaron los representantes de los partidos PRD y el PT. |
en | League Rules
In the case of equality at any stage of the Season, positions at that stage of the season shall be determined firstly by the number of wins achieved and then on the basis of match points differential. A Club with a larger number of wins shall be placed higher than a Club with the same number of league points but fewer wins.
If Clubs have equal league points and equal number of wins then a Club with a larger difference between match points "for" and match points "against" shall be placed higher in the Premiership League than a Club with a smaller difference between match points "for" and match points "against".
Should two Clubs have the same number of league points and the same match points difference, the Club having scored more match points "for" shall be placed higher in the Premiership League than the Club having the lesser number of match points "for".
If the above does not establish different Premiership League positions then the Club in the higher position shall be the Club that has achieved the higher aggregate match points scored by it in the same season against the other Club.
If this still does not establish the position then the Club who has won the most matches, excluding its first Premiership League match of the season, then its second Premiership League match and so on, until it can be established which the higher placed Club is. | fr | Le championnat d'Angleterre de rugby à XV, dit , disputait sa neuvième journée.

pt | O Ministério Público recomendou, nesta terça-feira (23), que os supermercados de Uberaba (MG) retirem três marcas de leite longa vida das prateleiras. A orientação tem caráter preventivo e se baseia na informação da Polícia Federal de que o produto era fornecido pelas cooperativas mineiras Coopervale e Casmil, suspeitas de adulterar o produto com substâncias nocivas à saúde.
Durante a Operação Ouro Branco , realizada pela Polícia Federal na segunda-feira (22), em Uberaba e Passos (MG) foram detidas 27 pessoas, parte delas já foi liberada.
A PF investigava havia três anos denúncias de adulteração do leite com a adição de produtos químicos, como água oxigenada, soro e até soda cáustica. A polícia descobriu que um químico de São Paulo desenvolveu uma forma de adulterar o leite, sem deixar vestígios, e vendeu a técnica para várias cooperativas do país.
Segundo o delegado federal de Uberaba, Davidson Chagas, foram encontrados problemas em três marcas de leite até agora. “Nas marcas Parmalat, Calu e Centenário já encontramos diferenças no aspecto, que tornam o produto impróprio.”
De acordo com Chagas, a análise será estendida a todas as marcas comercializadas no país. Ainda não foram identificadas todas as empresas que adquiriram leite das cooperativas suspeitas de adulterar o produto.
“Apreendemos documentos e os peritos estão analisando o material para saber quem eram esses compradores. Vamos fazer o mapeamento do leite em todo o país.”
Minas Gerais produz um terço de todo o leite consumido no Brasil e os produtores do estado estão preocupados com a má repercussão do caso.
O "Jornal Hoje" noticiou nesta terça-feira que, em Uberaba, os funcionários da Coopervale voltaram ao trabalho. O interventor disse que não houve mudança na rotina. Dois tanques com 700 mil litros de leite continuam lacrados.

Ten people have died in a fighter jet crash at an air base in central Spain, the defence ministry says.
The Greek F-16 jet "lost power" during take-off, crashing into other planes and exploding at Los Llanos airbase in Albacete, the ministry said.
One of the pilots performed a wrong manoeuvre during take-off, according to local media. Both pilots were killed.
One French person was among those killed and five others were injured, France's defence ministry confirmed.
In a statement (in French), the ministry said French jets were stationed at the base.
Late on Monday evening, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said eight French personnel and two Greeks had been killed.
Contacted by BBC News, the French air force said it could neither confirm nor deny the information given by Mr Rajoy for the time being.
Reports suggest that many of the injured are Italians while details of the other fatalities have not been given.
Personnel from the US, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the UK are said to be stationed at the base.
Both of the jet fighter's pilots were killed in the crash
Emergency services rushed to the scene
Personnel from different Nato states were using the base
The nationalities of those killed are not yet clear
It was not immediately clear how many planes were damaged on the ground
The plane crashed at about 15:30 (14:30 GMT) at the base 260 km (160 miles) south-east of Madrid.
Emergency crews extinguished the fire and were assessing how much damage had been done to other planes involved in the Nato exercise, the ministry added.
Aviation analyst Sean Maffett told BBC News Channel it was difficult to imagine how the accident had occurred because the runway where the aircraft was taking off is about 1,000 ft (305 m) away from where the crash apparently took place.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that he was deeply saddened by the crash.
"This is a tragedy which affects the whole Nato family," he said. "I express my heartfelt condolences to the loved ones and the nations of those who lost their lives, and I wish a speedy recovery to the injured."
Spanish officials said the jet had been participating in a Nato training exercise called the Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP).
The TLP is not part of the Nato structure but is an organisation formed under an agreement between 10 Nato nations whose aim is to increase the effectiveness of allied air forces through the development of leadership skills. | fr | Le ministère espagnol de la Défense annonce ce soir que 10 personnes ont été tuées quand un avion de combat s'est écrasé sur une base militaire où il menait un entrainement, en milieu d'après-midi.

en | Gunmen kidnap senior Iraqi official in Baghdad
BAGHDAD (AP) Gunmen kidnapped a senior Iraqi Interior Ministry official Wednesday and the U.S. military reported the deaths of five more U.S. service members — the latest violence as Iraqi politicians struggled to meet a deadline for drafting a constitution.

A day after a group meeting of Iraqi political factions reached no consensus, representatives met privately on Wednesday to discuss the deadlock over the charter, less than a week before it needs to be approved. (Video: Violence continues across Iraq)
The U.S. military also said Marines and Iraqi forces discovered a car bomb factory and detained 36 insurgents during a weeklong military offensive that ended Wednesday in western Iraq.
The offensive dubbed Operation Quick Strike and involving about 800 U.S. Marines and 180 Iraqi soldiers was among several campaigns in recent months targeting insurgents and foreign fighters in the volatile Anbar province.
The kidnapping occurred in Baghdad's Andalus Square. Gunmen stopped Brig. Gen. Khudayer Abbas, who heads the administrative affairs office at the Interior Ministry, as he was driving, forced him into another vehicle and sped away, said police Maj. Abbas Mohammed Salman said.
Four American soldiers were killed late Tuesday when insurgents attacked their patrol in a northern Iraqi city, and a car bomb targeting a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol in Baghdad killed seven people, the military said.
In the attack in the north, a Task Force Liberty patrol was investigating explosions in the area when a roadside bomb detonated. The patrol then came under small-arms fire late Tuesday in Beiji, 155 miles north of Baghdad. Five American soldiers and a U.S. contractor also were wounded.
Insurgents attacked the convoy with rocket-propelled grenades, damaging two Humvees and a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, said Beiji police Lt. Ali Abdul-Hameed. Witnesses said the Bradley fell into a canal and that a U.S. helicopter transported the casualties.
A car bomb exploded in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Ghazaliyah, killing four civilians and three police, said 1st Lt. Thair Mahmoud. Another seven people were wounded, including five U.S. soldiers who received minor injuries.
Also Tuesday, a U.S. soldier was killed during combat operations outside the capital. The soldier, assigned to 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, was killed by small arms fire near Habaniyah, 50 miles west of Baghdad.
The five deaths reported Wednesday raised to six the number of U.S. service people killed Tuesday. A suicide car bomber struck a U.S. convoy waiting at an intersection in Baghdad, killing seven people — including one American soldier — and wounding more than 90.
At least 1,841 members of the U.S. military have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
Twenty Marines were killed last week as Operation Quick Strike got under way last Wednesday, including 14 who died when their armored vehicle was hit by a massive blast near Haditha.
Nine car bombs were discovered during the sweep, the Marines said in a statement. Three were identified by a local resident while the rest were discovered in a garage where insurgents were assembling explosive-rigged vehicles.
The factory was in the northern part of Haqlaniyah, one of a cluster of towns along the volatile Euphrates River Valley, long believed to be a stronghold of Iraqi insurgents and foreign fighters.
As fighting in Iraq rages on, the United States hopes progress on the political front, including adoption of a democratic constitution, will help deflate the Sunni Arab-led rebellion and enable the Americans and their partners to begin withdrawing troops next year.
"It's important that they stay with their timetable" on the constitution, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday. "This will be a critical step in persuading the majority of the Iraqis that the new Iraq is worth fighting for, that they have a stake in it."
Rumsfeld told Pentagon reporters that the constitution "could well turn out to be one of the most powerful weapons to be deployed against the terrorists" and the insurgents are "determined to stop the constitutional process through terror and intimidation."
But Iraqi political leaders drafting the charter have shown little sign of compromise over questions like the role of Islam and federalism in the nation's future.
Faction leaders conferred for about four hours Tuesday night hoping to overcome their differences and produce a charter by Monday. Individual factions met privately Wednesday, but President Jalal Talabani said no formal collective meeting would be held.
The constitution also needs approval from voters in an Oct. 15 referendum. Passage would lead to elections in mid-December.
At the beginning of Tuesday's meeting, presidential spokesman Kamran Qaradaghi told reporters the latest talks would focus on federalism, distribution of wealth and the elections law.
Kurds demand that Iraq be transformed into a federal state so they can continue to run their autonomous mini-state in the north. Sunni Arabs oppose federalism because they fear the Kurds want to secede and dismember Iraq.
Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani joined the talks Tuesday. Barzani, who had been stranded in northern Iraq by the sandstorms, has vowed not to compromise on federalism.
Meanwhile, a group of women activists issued a statement Tuesday insisting that the new constitution guarantee women's rights "as an essential part of guaranteeing human rights of all members of Iraqi society" regardless of gender, race, religion or sect.

Eine Autobombe, die sich gegen eine gemeinsame Patrouille von US-Soldaten mit irakischen Sicherheitskräften richtete, tötete sieben Menschen, darunter einen US-Soldaten. Vier weitere US-Soldaten wurden bei Angriffen auf eine Patrouille im Norden Iraks durch eine Autobombe getötet. Ebenfalls heute wurde Brigade-General Khudayer Abbas, ein hoher Beamter des irakischen Innenministeriums, aus seinem Auto heraus im Herzen der Hauptstadt entführt. Bereits gestern wurden sieben Menschen an einer Kreuzung in Bagdad durch einen Selbstmordattentäter, der sein Fahrzeug in einen an der Ampel wartenden Konvoi lenkte, getötet. Über 90 Menschen wurden dabei verwundet. Unter den Todesopfern waren auch sechs irakische Zivilisten. Ein weiteres Dutzend Menschen starb gestern bei verstreuten Angriffen in der irakischen Hauptstadt.
Unterdessen trafen sich verschiedene Fraktionen der Verfassungskommission zu Einzeltreffen um die Sackgasse, in die die Verhandlungen über den Verfassungsentwurf geraten sind, zu überwinden. Hauptstreitpunkte sind nach wie vor die Frage nach der Rolle des Islam in der künftigen irakischen Gesellschaft sowie die Frage des Förderalismus. Die Kurden fordern eine föderale Struktur des Landes um in ihrem nördlichen Gebiet eine relative Autonomie zu erlangen. Dies wird von der Mehrheit jedoch abgelehnt, weil sie langfristig eine Bewegung zur Verselbstständigung der Kurden mit dem Ziel einer eigenen Staatsgründung befürchten. In diesen Grundfragen zeigten die politischen Führer der verschiedenen Fraktionen auch gestern erneut wenig Kompromissbereitschaft.
Frauenrechtlerinnen setzten sich gestern wieder vehement für die Absicherung gleicher Rechte für alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger des Iraks ein. Sie forderten eine ausdrückliche Bezugnahme auf die Gleichberechtigung von Mann und Frau in der Verfassung in der Weise, dass die Frauenrechte als wesentlicher Teil der allgemeinen Menschenrechte für alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger Iraks in die Verfassung einflössen – unabhängig von Geschlecht, Rasse und religiösem Bekenntnis.
Der US-Außenminister Rumsfeld drängte unterdessen weiter auf die Einhaltung der zeitlichen Fristen für die Ausarbeitung des Verfassungsentwurfs. Er erwarte, dass die Verfassung eine mächtige Waffe im Kampf gegen den Terrorismus werde. Deswegen seien die aufständischen Kräfte im Irak entschlossen, den Verfassungsprozess zu stoppen. |
es | Empresarios, coservadores, antiguos aliados y peores enemigos. Juan Carlos Varela ganó las elecciones de Panamá para convertirse en el sucesor de Ricardo Martinelli.
De 51 años, casado y con tres hjios, Varela llegó a los comicios del domingo con el paradójico título de "candidato opositor y vicepresidente", eso sí, en la discordia.
Ingeniero Industrial por el Instituto Tecnológico de Georgia (EE.UU.), Varela además de político es un destacado empresario, como Martinelli.
Su familia posee una conocida compañía productora de licores. También ha sido accionista de varias emisoras de radio.
Eso sí, el domingo, poco después de ser proclamado presidente electo, Varela prometió hacer que el gobierno se dedique a ofrecer servicios y deje de ser un negocio.
"El que quiera hacer negocio debería tomar sus cosas y se vaya al sector privado", dijo ante una multitud de seguidores.
Varela además prometió llevar adelante "una agenda de Estado". "Los panameños vamos a trabajar unidos, no importa de qué partido", dijo.
Liberal y conservador, también goza de fuertes credenciales en política social.
Antes de romper con Martinelli ideó el popular programa "100 por 70", por el que los mayores de 70 años sin ingresos recibían un estipendio de US$100 mensuales.
"No voy a permitir que ni un centavo de los fondos que le pertenecen a los cuatro millones de panameños se desvíen para nada que no sea servir al pueblo", dijo en su discurso del domingo.
"No voy a permitir que ni un centavo de los fondos que le pertenecen a los cuatro millones de panameños se desevíen para nada que no sea servir al pueblo" Juan Carlos Varela
Con el 39% de los votos, se impuso a los otros dos grandes favoritos, el exministro José Domingo Arias (32%) y el exalcalde de la ciudad de Panamá Juan Carlos Navarro (28%).
Junto a la internacionalista Isabel Sain Malo, que será su vicepresidenta, Varela tomará posesión del cargo el próximo mes de julio.
Tradición familiar
A su partido llegó de adolescente siguiendo la tradición de su familia, que se cuenta entre las consideradas de la "oligarquía tradicional".
Entre sus parientes cuenta diputados, ministros y diferentes asesores de Amulfo Arias, tres veces elegido presidente y tres veces derrocado por los militares.
Entre 1992 y 1999 fue director nacional del Partido Amulfista. En la campaña de 2004 colaboró con varios diputados, alcaldes y candidatos de ese partido, con notable éxito.
En 2005 su formación adoptó la nomenclatura de Partido Pañamenista. Tan sólo un año después fue elegido su presidente.
De la mano de Martinelli, llegó en 2009 a la vicepresidencia. Para ello, renunció a su aspiración presidencial a cambio de ser el candidato oficialista este 2014.
Sin embargo, la coalición de gobierno se rompió en 2011. En medio de acusaciones de corrupción, del gabinete renunciaron los principales aliados de Varela.
Martinelli le quitó su condición de ministro de Relaciones Exteriores porque tenía "muchos sombreros".
Entonces, además de presidente de su partido, vicepresidente de la República y canciller, Varela era el precandidato oficialista, todavía con el apoyo de Martinelli.
La pelea estalló por la oposición de Varela a diversas medidas de Martinelli de cara a controlar los poderes Legislativo y Judicial.
Para Martinelli, Varela fue un vicepresidente desleal.
En mayo de 2011 el mandatario le pidió que renunciara al cargo de vicepresidente por que no hacía nada. Varela respondió que él servía "al pueblo y no a un gobierno corrupto".
El todavía presidente incluso llegó a llevar a Varela a los tribunales en 2012. Le pidió US$21 millones por daños y perjuicios. Sin embargo, Martinelli terminó retirando la demanda.
En enero de 2013 se postuló como candidato. Arrasó en las primarias de su partido con un 99% del apoyo.
Enemigo de Martinelli
Durante la campaña, el discurso de Varela estuvo centrado en presentarse como adalid de la lucha contra corrupción. Y no ha dudado en acusar a Martinelli.
Aunque no estaba entre los candidatos, Martinelli estuvo muy presente en la campaña.
Muchos llegaron a hablar de un intento de "reelección encubierta" en el hecho de que la candidatura de Arias llevaba de aspirante a vicepresidenta a la esposa de Martinelli, Marta Linares.
Lo que no se esperaba Martinelli era que iba a ganar Varela, quien durante la campaña aparecía irremediablemente como tercero en las encuestas.
Y el domingo quedó clara su sorpresa cuando tras haber dicho que se iba a dedicar a disfrutar de la vida, anunció su nueva condición de opositor y dijo: "Conozco lo que está del otro lado y, verdaderamente, Dios nos coja confesados". | es | Juan Carlos Varela, presidente electo de Panamá.
El actual , , fue proclamado ayer domingo como nuevo presidente electo de Panamá para el quinquenio 2014-2019, luego de superar al candidato de gobierno con más del 39% de los votos, con casi la totalidad de las mesas escrutadas.
Juan Carlos Varela, con 50 años, es ingeniero industrial y empresario de una licorera. Ideológicamente conservador y liberal de centroderecha con tendencias enfocadas a programas sociales, fue el candidato apoyado por el y el , y obtuvo más de 680 mil votos con el 90% de las actas escrutadas.

Fue gestor de varios programas sociales como "100 a los 70", en el que los adultos mayores de 70 años sin ingresos recibeb una bonificación de 100 dólares mensuales.
Sin embargo, por diferencias con Martinelli en cuanto al manejo institucional, Varela abandonó la alianza de gobierno en 2011 y se convirtió en duro opositor de éste. No obstante, Martinelli y el gobierno montó una campaña de constante descrédito e insultos hacia Varela, quien en ningún momento cedió hasta llegado el día de las elecciones.
Varela se impone en las elecciones presidenciales frente a otros seis candidatos, incluyendo a del opositor ; , dirigente de izquierda; y otros tres candidatos independientes. Adicionalmente en las elecciones de ayer se escogieron a 71 alcaldes, 77 diputados, 20 diputados al Parlamento Centroamericano y a más de 600 representantes de corregimiento.
El nuevo presidente electo tendrá como vicepresidenta a la relacionista internacional . Ocupará la silla presidencial el 1º de julio, con el reto de mantener el pujante crecimiento económico que dejó Martinelli de un 8% anual, pero que ha sido criticado por no distribuirse dicha riqueza a toda la población. |
es | Tener el crecimiento económico más alto de Iberoamérica no ha sido suficiente para convencer a los panameños, que castigaron con su voto al actual mandatario Ricardo Martinelli y a las encuestas, que vaticinaron que el nuevo presidente electo de Panamá, Juan Carlos Varela, quedaría tercero.
Fallaron por completo. Sólo tres horas después de que cerraran los colegios electorales, a las 19:45 pm hora local, el tribunal Electoral declaró que existía una "tendencia irreversible" a favor de Varela, un ingeniero industrial de 50 años que llegó a ser vicepresidente con Martinelli pero que se apartó de éste cuando empezó a maniobrar para lograr un cambio en la Constitución para lograr la reelección.
"Seré uno más de ustedes. Ha ganado la democracia. Encabezaré un gobierno humano con sello social y el que quiera hacer negocios que recoja sus cosas y se vaya al sector privado" dijo en sus primeras palabras como presidente electo, en referencia al actual presidente Ricardo Martinelli, millonario dueño de una cadena de supermercados.
Con el 75% de las mesas escrutadas Juan Carlos Varela (Partido Panameñista) obtuvo el 39%, el oficialista José Domingo Arias el 32% y el ex alcalde de Ciudad de Panamá, Juan Carlos Navarro (del Partido Revolucionario del general Torrijos) el 27% de los votos. A pesar de los sondeos auguraban un final de 'foto finish' se cumplió la tradicional alternancia panameña que indica que desde 1989, con la caída de Manuel Noriega, ningún partido ha triunfado en dos elecciones presidenciales consecutivas.
Juan Carlos Varela, presidente para los próximos cinco años, buscaba por segunda vez la presidencial al frente del centro derecha, ya que en 2009 renunció para respaldar a Martinelli, quien lo hizo vicepresidente y canciller. Tras romper la alianza gubernamental, Varela se convirtió en opositor al jefe de Estado. "La lucha contra la corrupción me costó estar apartado del gobierno", dijo Varela esta noche en referencia a su salida del gobierno. Varela habló con la daga de la venganza desenvainada tras su renuncia al gobierno.
Varela hereda una de las economías más pujantes del mundo, que ha crecido a un promedio del 8% entre 2006 y 2012, pero no todo será fácil en los próximos cinco años. El nuevo presidente tiene que hacer frente a una importante deuda pública y al retraso en las obras de ampliación del canal, lo que le deja sin efectivo al menos hasta 2016.
A pesar de que no era candidato en estas elecciones (la ley panameña impide la reelección) el gran derrotado de la noche fue Ricardo Martinelli quien estaba presente en los comicios a través de un hombre de 'paja' José Domingo Arias, que incluso concurría con la esposa de Martinelli, Marta Linares, como vicepresidente. Arias aspiraba a renovar un modelo económico que ha hecho que Panamá sea considerado el 'Dubai Latino', pero que mantiene a uno de cada cuatro panameños en la pobreza.
Martinelli, el amante de las grandes obras
Durante los últimos cinco años la gestión de Martinelli, un temperamental millonario dueño de una cadena de supermercados, se ha caracterizado por un fuerte impulso a las obras públicas. Paralelamente se ha producido un boom inmobiliario sin precedentes, se han multiplicado los rascacielos, los bancos y los casinos y se han puesto en marcha obras faraónicas como la ampliación del Canal o la puesta en marcha del primer metro de Centroamérica. Sin embargo más de un tercio del trabajo es informal y miles de personas no tienen agua potable ni vivienda digna o no acceden a servicios de salud, educación o transporte.
La 'fórmula Martinelli', tan exitosa en el campo económico le ha enfrentado, sin embargo, con indígenas, campesinos, estudiantes, obreros, empresarios y la prensa, objeto de gran parte de sus ataques, gracias al sello déspota y autoritario de su gestión. En el campo internacional se ha enfrentado duramente con el presidente de Venezuela Nicolás Maduro y ambos gobiernos han roto relaciones diplomáticas. Unas formas que los panameños castigaron esta noche con dureza sin mirar la cartera. | es | Juan Carlos Varela, presidente electo de Panamá.

es | 05/05/2014 - El candidato presidencial opositor y actual vicepresidente de la República, Juan Carlos Varela, fue proclamado presidente electo por el Tribunal Electoral a las 7:36 p.m., tres horas y media después de concluido el proceso de votación.
El magistrado presidente del TE, Erasmo Pinilla, se comunicó con Varela vía telefónica y le anunció que es el próximo presidente de la República para el periodo 2014-2019.
Varela, un ingeniero de 50 años de edad que fue postulado por la alianza de los partidos Panameñista y Popular, tomará posesión a partir del próximo 1 de julio, por un periodo de cinco años.
Con el 90.87% de los votos escrutados, Varela obtuvo 39.2% de las preferencias, seguido por el candidato presidencial oficialista José Domingo Arias (32%) y el perredista Juan Carlos Navarro (27.5%). "La tendencia es irreversible", afirmó Pinilla.
"Hoy ganó Panamá, hoy ganó nuestra democracia", dijo Varela a Pinilla, vía telefónica.
La victoria representa una sorpresa, puesto que Varela nunca encabezó las encuestas de intención de voto.
Durante la jornada de votación, que se extendió desde las 7:00 a.m. hasta las 4:00 p.m, los siete candidatos presidenciales –cuatro postulados por partidos políticos y tres independientes– expresaron que respetarían los resultados que arrojaran las urnas.
En ese sentido también se expresó el presidente Ricardo Martinelli en horas de la mañana, cuando salió de su casa, rumbo a votar.

pt | Atentados terroristas realizados em três países de três continentes diferentes deixaram dezenas de mortos nesta sexta-feira (26). França, Tunísia e Kuwait foram alvos de terroristas, sendo que na Tunísia e no Kuwait os ataques foram reivindicados pelo grupo Estado Islâmico.
Na França, pelo menos uma pessoa invadiu de carro uma usina de gás em uma área industrial perto de Lyon, causando uma explosão. Duas pessoas ficaram feridas, e um corpo decapitado foi encontrado no local. Três pessoas suspeitas de envolvimento foram presas.
Na Tunísia, pelo menos 37 pessoas morreram no ataque a um hotel na cidade de Sousse. Tiros foram ouvidos no local, e o atirador teria morrido. Cinco das vítimas eram britânicas. O ataque foi reivindicado pelo Estado Islâmico.
No Kuwait, pelo menos 25 pessoas morreram e mais de 200 ficaram feridas após uma explosão em uma mesquita xiita durante as orações de sexta-feira. O ataque foi reivindicado pelo Estado Islâmico.
Segundo o Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos, não há nenhuma evidência de que os ataques terroristas foram coordenados. No entanto, eles vieram poucos dias depois de o EI pedir que ataques fossem realizados por seus militantes durante o período de Ramadã.
Veja a seguir como foram os ataques.
FRANÇA
O atentado na França foi classificado como terrorista pelo presidente francês, François Hollande. "É de natureza terrorista, já que foi encontrado um cadáver decapitado com inscrições" no local do crime. "A intenção era, sem dúvida, causar uma explosão. Foi um ataque terrorista", declarou Hollande, que aumentou o alerta de segurança no local do ataque para o mais alto existente.

O presidente explicou que o ataque foi lançado por meio de "um veículo conduzido por uma pessoa, talvez acompanhada de outra, e que a grande velocidade, e com cilindros de gás, se lançou sobre este centro, considerado sensível". "Não há dúvidas quanto à intenção, que é provocar uma explosão", acrescentou.
Três pessoas foram detidas – entre elas o principal suspeito do crime, identificado como Yassim Salhi, de 35 anos e original de Saint-Priest, na periferia de Lyon, segundo o governo francês.
De acordo com o Ministro do Interior francês, Bernard Cazeneuve, o preso foi acompanhado pelas autoridades entre 2006 e 2008 por supostas atividades radicais, mas a partir desta data deixou de ser visto como uma ameaça. Nesse tempo, o suspeito teve vínculo com movimentos salafistas (grupos ultraconservadores), mas "não foi identificado que participasse de atividades de caráter terrorista", disse.

Uma segunda pessoa foi detida horas depois. "Um veículo foi visto dando voltas suspeitas nos arredores do complexo, o número da placa foi investigado e seu proprietário identificado. Ele foi detido na localidade de Saint-Quentin-Fallavier", afirmou uma fonte ligada ao caso.
A esposa do suposto autor do ataque foi a terceira pessoa detida, segundo uma fonte judicial.
O homem decapitado no ataque à fábrica de gás seria o empregador do suposto autor do atentado, de acordo com uma fonte próxima ao caso.
O veículo com o qual o suposto terrorista atacou a fábrica era autorizado para entrar na empresa, por isso, não levantou suspeitas, informou o prefeito de Isère, Jean-Paul Bonnetain.
Em declarações a um grupo de jornalistas, o prefeito explicou que o veículo "não precisou entrar de surpresa" na fábrica, já que contava com a permissão necessária para fazê-lo nesta instalação classificada de "baixo risco industrial".
Fora da usina atacada foi encontrada uma bandeira com inscrições em árabe, disseram as autoridades. Elas ainda são analisadas.
TUNÍSIA
Na Tunísia, o ataque ocorreu em um hotel em Sousse. Uma fonte de segurança disse que o corpo do atirador, armado com um fuzil Kalashnikov, estava no local onde a polícia o matou.
Segundo o grupo SITE Intel Group, que monitora a ação do Estado Islâmico na internet, o grupo jihadista assumiu a autoria do ataque e identificou o atirador como Abu Yahya al-Qayrawani.
Segundo o Ministério da Saúde, ao menos 37 pessoas morreram – a maioria turistas. A polícia restringiu o acesso ao hotel Imperial Marhaba. Ao menos seis pessoas ficaram feridas. Inicialmente foram reportadas 28 mortes.

Os hóspedes eram em sua maioria britânicos e da Europa central, indicou o estabelecimento sem precisar a nacionalidade das vítimas.
No momento do ataque "havia 565 clientes no hotel. Os clientes são majoritariamente do Reino Unido e da Europa central", indicou o grupo em um comunicado. Segundo uma autoridade tunisiana, uma irlandesa também estaria entre os mortos.
O Ministro das Relações Exteriores britânico, Philip Hammond, afirmou que pelo menos cinco britânicos estavam entre os 37 mortos. "Podemos confirmar que pelo menos cinco britânicos foram mortos nesse incidente, mas devo avisar que devemos esperar mais relatos de fatalidades", afirmou. Inicialmente foram reportadas 28 mortes.
Sousse é um dos mais conhecidos balneários do norte da África, atraindo turistas da Europa e de países vizinhos. A Tunísia tem estado sob forte alerta de segurança desde março, quando militantes em aliança com o grupo Estado Islâmico atacaram o museu do Bardo, em Tunis, matando um grupo de 20 turistas estrangeiros em um dos piores ataques do tipo no país africano.

O ataque no Kuwait foi direcionado a uma mesquita xiita, no momento da tradicional oração das sextas-feiras, que atrai muitos fiéis. A explosão aconteceu na mesquita de Al Imam al Sadeq da cidade de Kuwait.
O grupo jihadista sunita Estado Islâmico reivindicou este atentado, assim como outros que já ocorreram em mesquitas xiitas na Arábia Saudita e no Iêmen.
No final de maio, o emir do Kuwait pediu aos países muçulmanos que intensifiquem a luta contra o extremismo, durante uma conferência pan-islâmica dedicada a coordenar os esforços contra os grupos jihadistas.

Repercussão
Em nota, o Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil disse que o governo brasileiro “deplora o incremento dos atentados terroristas que continuam a ceifar vidas inocentes em diferentes partes do mundo”.
“Trata-se de atos criminosos, perpetrados por extremistas em nome de ideias incompatíveis com as regras mais elementares de convívio e respeito aos direitos humanos. A intolerância religiosa e o recurso à violência indiscriminada, praticados sob qualquer pretexto, merecem o mais veemente repúdio da sociedade e do Governo brasileiro.”
A Casa Branca e a ONU também condenaram os ataques na França, Tunísia e Kuwait.
Os Estados Unidos expressaram sua solidariedade e sua vontade de "combater o flagelo do terrorismo". "Nossos pensamentos e orações estão com as vítimas desses ataques atrozes, seus entes queridos e as pessoas desses três países", afirma um comunicado.
Já o secretário-geral das Nações Unidas, Ban Ki-moon, classificou de "terroristas" e "espantosos" os ataques e exigiu que seus responsáveis sejam julgados.
Segundo o porta-voz, Ban condenou "nos termos mais firmes os ataques terroristas na Tunísia, Kuwait e França". "Os responsáveis por esses atos de violência espantosos devem ser rapidamente levados ante a justiça", acrescentou.
Após os ataques, o ministro italiano do Interior Angelino Alfano anunciou que o governo decidiu elevar o alerta antiterrorista. "Não podemos deixar nos condicionar pelo medo", afirmou o ministro, depois de enfatizar que "os desafios são vencidos apenas se o medo não se espalhar".
Com a medida, a vigilância das infraestruturas e monumentos e as unidades dedicadas à segurança será intensificada. | pt | Atentados terroristas deixaram o mundo em alerta. Os atentados ocorreram em três continentes quase que simultaneamente. Na França terroristas atacaram uma usina de gás no interior do pais com uma morte e duas pessoas feridas, um suspeito foi preso. Na Tunísia um hotel foi atacado na cidade turística de Sousse, no litoral, o atirador matou 27 pessoas antes de ser morto. No Kuwait um homem-bomba detonou numa mesquita, até agora 13 mortes confirmadas. Até o momento já são pelo menos 50 as vítimas desta sexta-feira de terror.

de | Portrait: Seehofer als «letzte Patrone im Colt der CSU» 25. Okt 15:59 Der neue CSU-Vorsitzende steht vor einer schweren Aufgabe: er gilt als die letzte Hoffnung der CSU. Viele halten den 59 Jahre alte Hünen aus Ingolstadt für den größten Charmeur der CSU, ihren stärksten Einzelspieler - und auch für den geschicktesten Taktierer.
Horst Seehofer soll seine Partei aus ihrer schwersten Krise seit einem halben Jahrhundert führen. Bisher war er intern umstritten. Doch seit der CSU-Katastrophe bei der Bayern-Wahl gilt das nicht mehr. Mit Seehofer soll ein Relikt der Kohl-Ära im Herbst seiner politischen Karriere die darniederliegende CSU zu neuem Glanz führen. Der Passauer Politikwissenschaftler Heinrich Oberreuter nennt ihn «die letzte Patrone im Colt der CSU». MEHR IN DER NETZEITUNG: » CSU wählt Seehofer mit 90 Prozent Zustimmung

» Alles zur Bayern-Wahl: Berichte, Hintergründe, Fakten Kein anderer CSU-Politiker kann sein Publikum so einwickeln wie Seehofer - ob im Bierzelt oder im Fernsehstudio. Der charismatische Oberbayer besitzt ein besonderes Talent: Er gibt seinen Zuhörern das Gefühl, er sei einer von ihnen. Seehofer wirkt freundlich, ohne sich anzubiedern. Viele in der CSU sehen ihn als fintenreichen Politprofi, der sich immer alle Optionen bis zur letzten Sekunde offenhält. «Das Schönste ist, wenn das Gegenüber erst nach fünf oder sechs Zügen merkt, welche Bedeutung der erste Zug hatte», sagt Seehofer. Der neue CSU-Vorsitzende steht vor einer schweren Aufgabe: er gilt als die letzte Hoffnung der CSU. Viele halten den 59 Jahre alte Hünen aus Ingolstadt für den größten Charmeur der CSU, ihren stärksten Einzelspieler - und auch für den geschicktesten Taktierer. Uberwand lebensgefährliche Krankheit Seine erste Niederlage hat Seehofer allerdings bereits vor Amtsantritt erlitten. In seinem Auftrag sollte die alte Staatsregierung aus Ministerpräsident Günther Beckstein und dem Parteivorsitzenden Erwin Huber den Vorstandschef der schwer angeschlagenen BayernLB, Michael Kemmer, aus dem Amt kegeln. Das misslang - und Seehofers Autorität steht in Zweifel. Doch hat Seehofer schon ganz andere Krisen überstanden. Eigentlich war er schon «politisch tot», wie er selbst einräumt. Seit 1980 im Bundestag, erreichte er den ersten politischen Gipfel als Bundesgesundheitsminister in der Regierung Kohl. Es folgten bittere Jahre: die Wahlniederlage der Union 1998 und eine lebensgefährliche Herzkrankheit, die ihn jahrelang außer Gefecht setzte. Schlingerkurs im Streit um Gentechnik und Milchquote Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Politik überwarf sich Seehofer im Streit um die Gesundheits-Kopfpauschale mit CDU-Chefin Angela Merkel. Der Parteivize schwänzte auch noch einen CSU-Parteitag - Seehofer ging zum Zahnarzt. Der damalige Parteichef Edmund Stoiber kochte. Seehofer verlor seinen Posten als Unionsfraktionsvize im Bundestag. Doch ein Jahr später war er wieder da: als Bundesagrarminister. Von Landwirtschaft hatte der Sozial- und Gesundheitspolitiker bis dahin keine große Ahnung. Doch Seehofer war bereits nach wenigen Wochen fachkundig. Viele Lorbeeren erntete er bei den bayerischen Bauern aber nicht, obwohl er dort persönlich gut ankam. Doch Seehofer fuhr einen Schlingerkurs im Streit um die grüne Gentechnik und die geplante Abschaffung der Milchquote. Affäre mit junger Bundestagsmitarbeiterin Hinzu kam eine ganz andere Krise: Vor allem bei vielen Frauen in der CSU löste 2007 die Liebesaffäre des verheirateten dreifachen Familienvaters mit einer viel jüngeren Bundestagsmitarbeiterin Empörung aus. Seehofers Lebenstraum ist der CSU-Vorsitz, das sagt er selbst. Dass er auch bayerischer Ministerpräsident werden könnte, davon war bis zum Absturz der CSU bei der Landtagswahl im September nie die Rede. In der Landtagsfraktion in München war Seehofer bislang nicht allzu populär. Viele Abgeordnete hatten das Gefühl, dass der große Bundespolitiker die Kollegen im «weiß-blauen Puppenküchentheater» (Franz Josef Strauß) nicht sonderlich ernst nahm. Bis zum Wahldesaster galten zwei Maximen in der CSU: Ein Generationswechsel sei notwendig, und die Führungsspitze müsse die gesamte Bandbreite der CSU abdecken. Ein Generationswechsel ist Seehofers Amtsübernahme nicht, und die «Bandbreite» deckt er auch nicht ab. Bayerns Wirtschaftsverbände betrachten ihn wie die Vertreter der freien Berufe mit Skepsis.

en | UN Endorses Israel-Palestinian War Crimes Report
Palestinian woman walks past house destroyed during Israel's 22-day offensive in Jabalia in northern Gaza Strip, 15 Feb 2009 After two days of debate, the U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly endorsed a report from the Human Rights Council calling for domestic investigations into alleged war crimes committed by both Israel's military and Palestinian militants during the Gaza conflict that began last December.
The final vote was 114 in favor, 18 against and 44 abstentions.
Strong support came from the Arab and non-aligned countries, many of whom co-sponsored the draft resolution.
Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour welcomed the vote, saying the implementation of Justice Richard Goldstone's report will now begin in stages.
"In three months we will come back to General Assembly to consider the report of the Secretary-General for further action, including in all parts of the United Nations, including in the Security Council," said Riyad Mansour.
The non-binding resolution requests the secretary-general report to the General Assembly within three months on the implementation of the resolution, with a view to considering further action, if necessary.
Of the countries abstaining or voting no, several said that although they agreed with the essence of the resolution - that the parties should conduct their own independent, credible investigations into alleged violations as called for in the Goldstone report - they could not vote in favor because they had difficulty with two specific items in the resolution.
Britain's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Philip Parnham echoed that sentiment to reporters after the vote.
"We have abstained, because in particular, we can't support the endorsement of the Goldstone report," said Philip Parnham. "But we do, we do support the core practical element of the resolution - which is the call for credible and thorough investigations."
Former Judge Richard Goldstone, left, Head of the UN Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights South African Nava Pillay in Geneva, Switzerland (File) The other point of some contention is that the resolution leaves the door open for future action in the U.N. Security Council. The Palestinians have made clear they plan to pursue that option, but most of the council's five permanent veto-wielding members oppose the idea, saying the right forum for the Goldstone report is where it started - in the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The United States was the only permanent Security Council member to vote against the resolution.
Deputy U.N. Ambassador Alejandro Wolff said that although it opposed the resolution, the United States strongly supports accountability for human rights and humanitarian law violations relating to the Gaza conflict.
"We believe that the Goldstone report is deeply flawed-including its unbalanced focus on Israel, its sweeping conclusions of law, the excessively negative inferences it draws about Israel's intentions and actions, its failure to deal adequately with the asymmetrical nature of the Gaza conflict, its failure to assign appropriate responsibility to Hamas for its decision to base itself and its operations in heavily civilian-populated urban areas, and its many overreaching recommendations," said Alejandro Wolff.
Israel, which did not cooperate with the Goldstone commission, voted against the resolution, saying it legitimized a "deeply flawed, one-sided" report, and disregarded Israel's right to defend its citizens.
During the three-week-long Israeli military incursion into the Gaza Strip, at least 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed. The Goldstone Commission criticized both sides for violations of international humanitarian law.

Mideast: UN endorses Gaza 'war crimes' report
New York, 6 Nov. (AKI) - The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday approved a resolution endorsing a recent report that accused both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of war crimes. The resolutaion is now expected to be sent to the UN Security Council.
"In three months we will come back to the General Assembly to consider the report of the secretary-general for further action, including in all parts of the United Nations, including in the Security Council," said Palestinian ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour, quoted by Voice of America.
The resolution supporting the report by South African prosecutor Richard Goldstone passed the UN's largest body with 114 votes in favour to 18 opposed. Forty-four states abstained.
"The results of the vote and the large number of member states who voted against or abstained, demonstrate clearly that the resolution does not have the support of the 'moral majority' of UN members," said a statement in Israel's ministry of foreign affairs website.
"Israel rejects the resolution of the UN General Assembly, which is completely detached from realities on the ground."
The report - widely criticised by Israel and backed by the Palestinians - accused both Israel and the militant Palestinian movement Hamas of committing war crimes during the Israeli army's three-week assault on the Gaza Strip in late December and early January.
Around 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli offensive, according to rights groups.
Israel, however, puts the death toll at 1,166.
The report said Israel used disproportionate force, deliberately targeting civilians, used Palestinians as human shields and destroyed civilian infrastructure.
The report also said that Palestinian militant groups including the Islamist Hamas had committed war crimes in their rocket attacks against civilians in southern Israel.
During the Israeli offensive, termed 'Operation Cast Lead', more than 50,000 Palestinian homes were destroyed by the Israeli army, as well as 29 mosques, two churches and 200 schools.
The 22-day Israeli military operation, launched with the stated aim of ending Hamas rocket attacks against Israel, killed some 1,400 Palestinians and injured more than 5,400 others, according to UN figures.

The Goldstone report, which accuses both Israel and Hamas of war crimes, was endorsed by the assembly on Thursday by a margin of 114 to 18, after two days of debate.
The United Nations General Assembly has voted in favour of resolution endorsing a UN-sponsored report into war crimes committed during Israel's war on Gaza.
Forty-four member-nations abstained from voting.
The report, which was compiled by a panel led by Richard Goldstone, a South African judge, had already been endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council, which sponsored the fact-finding commission.
The report calls on both Israel and the Palestinians to investigate within three months accusations of human-rights violations during the 22-day conflict in December and January.
Most of the criticism in the Goldstone report was directed towards Israel's conduct during the offensive, in which human rights organisations say about 1,400 Palestinians - many of them women and children - were killed.
Thirteen Israelis, including three civilians, were killed over the course of the war.
The report concluded that Israel used disproportionate force in the war, deliberately targeting Gaza civilians, using them as human shields, and destroying civilian infrastructure.
Offensive conduct
Apart from Israel and the US, a number of European countries including Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic, voted against the resolution.
Britain and France were among EU member nations who abstained.
Most developing countries voted in favour of endorsing the report.
Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian UN observer called it "an important night in the history of the General Assembly and the history of fighting against impunity and seeking accountability."
Earlier, speaking ahead of the final UN vote, he said Goldstone report had concluded that the Israeli military onslaught "was planned in all of its phases as a deliberately disproportionate and systematic attack aimed at punishing, humiliating and terrorising the Palestinian civilian population".
But Daniel Carmon, Israel's deputy ambassador to the UN, told the assembly that the resolution "endorses and legitimises a deeply flawed, one-sided and prejudiced report of the discredited Human Rights Council and its politicised work that bends both fact and law".
Alejandro Wolff, the US deputy ambasssador to the UN, also accused the the resolution of being flawed, saying that it failed to name Hamas, the Palestinian group that has de facto control of Gaza.
The non-binding resolution passed on Thursday by the General Assembly asks Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, to pass the report to the UN Security Council.
However, diplomats have said that the five permanent members of the 15-member Security Council have signalled that they are opposed to council involvement - meaning that it is unlikely that the 15-nation body would take action.
The debate at the General Assembly, which began on Wednesday, was called for by the Arab UN group, with the backing of the 118-member Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey, reporting from the UN in New York ahead of Thursday's vote, said the debate represented a push to keep the Goldstone report alive.
"The resolution endorses the report and also attempts to force it upon the Security Council, by getting the secretary-general involved," she said
US House vote
On Tuesday the US House of Representatives dismissed the Goldstone report as being "irredeemably biased" against Israel.
The house voted in favour of a non-binding resolution calling on Barack Obama, the US president, to maintain his opposition to the report.
Richard Goldstone himself last week sent a letter to the US House of Representatives saying that the text of the US resolution had "factual inaccuracies and instances where information and statements are taken grossly out of context".
He offered several rejections and clarifications of the ideas expressed in the resolution.
In response to Goldstone's criticism, three parts of the resolution were amended on Tuesday to clarify that Goldstone had sought an expansion to the commission's mandate so that his team could investigate claims that Hamas had violated international law during the Gaza war.
The report called for cases to be referred to the ICC in The Hague if Israel and Hamas do not investigate the war crimes allegations against them within six months.
Hamas has agreed to hold such an investigation, but Israel has not. | en | After two days of debate, the United Nations has overwhelmingly endorsed a report from the Human Rights Council calling for domestic investigations into alleged war crimes committed by both Israel's military and Palestinian armed forces during the Gaza conflict that began last December.
The controversial report concluded that Israel used disproportionate force in the war, deliberately targeted civilians, used them as human shields, and destroyed civilian infrastructure. One of the 31 chapters of the report discussed crimes by for firing rockets into Israeli towns.
The remains of a mosque and an orphanage after being shelled by Israeli forcesThe final vote was 114 in favor, 18 against and 44 abstentions. Strong support came from the Arab and non-aligned countries, many of whom co-sponsored the draft resolution.
Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour welcomed the vote, saying the implementation of Justice Richard Goldstone's report will now begin in stages.
Ali Treki, the General Assembly president, called the vote "an important declaration against impunity. It is a call for justice and accountability". Without justice, there can be no progress towards peace. A human being should be treated as a human being, regardless of his or her religion, race or nationality," he said.
"In three months we will come back to General Assembly to consider the report of the Secretary-General for further action, including in all parts of the United Nations, including in the ," said , a Palestinian-American diplomat.
The non-binding resolution requests the secretary-general report to the General Assembly within three months on the implementation of the resolution, with a view to considering further action, if necessary.
Israel's deputy ambassador to the UN, Daniel Cameron said that the resolution, "endorses and legitimizes a deeply flawed, one-sided and prejudiced report of the discredited and its politicised work that bends both fact and law".
Of the countries abstaining or voting no, several said that although they agreed with the essence of the resolution - that the parties should conduct their own independent, credible investigations into alleged violations as called for in the Goldstone report - they could not vote in favor because they had difficulty with two specific items in the resolution.
Another point of some contention is that the resolution leaves the door open for future action in the UN Security Council. The Palestinians have made clear they plan to pursue that option, but most of the council's five permanent members opposed the idea, saying the right forum for the Goldstone report is in the Human Rights Council in Geneva, where it started.
The United States was the only permanent Security Council member to vote against the resolution. Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolff said that although it opposed the resolution, the US strongly supported accountability for human rights and humanitarian law violations relating to the Gaza conflict.
"We believe that the Goldstone report is deeply flawed-including its unbalanced focus on Israel, its sweeping conclusions of law, the excessively negative inferences it draws about Israel's intentions and actions, its failure to deal adequately with the asymmetrical nature of the Gaza conflict, its failure to assign appropriate responsibility to Hamas for its decision to base itself and its operations in heavily civilian-populated urban areas, and its many overreaching recommendations," said Alejandro Wolff.
Israel, which did not cooperate with the Goldstone commission, voted against the resolution, saying that it legitimised a "deeply flawed, one-sided" report, and disregarded Israel's right to defend its citizens.
"The results of the vote and the large number of member states who voted against or abstained, demonstrate clearly that the resolution does not have the support of the 'moral majority' of UN members," read a statement on the website of Israel's ministry of foreign affairs. "Israel rejects the resolution of the UN General Assembly, which is completely detached from realities on the ground."
During the three-week-long Israeli military incursion into the Gaza Strip, at least 1,400 Palestinians died according to Palestinians and human rights groups, although Israel says 1,166, and 13 Israelis also died. The Goldstone Commission criticized both sides for violations of international humanitarian law. |

Israel was heavily criticised in Richard Goldstone's report into the 22-day war [File: EPA]
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, urged the Palestinian Authority (PA) not to accept the findings of a UN report into Israel's war on Gaza because of fears it might scupper attempts to restart peace talks, Palestinian sources have told Al Jazeera. Clinton reportedly called Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, on Thursday to encourage him to withdraw PA support for the report, which heavily criticised the conduct of Israeli forces during the December-January conflict.
The UN Human Rights Council had been due to vote on Friday on the report by Richard Goldstone, an investigator appointed by the world body.
Though the PA did not reject the Goldstone report, it backed moves to postpone a vote on the findings until March, triggering widespread condemnation from Palestinian groups and human rights organisations.
Gaza crimes
More than 1,400 Palestinians, at least one-third of them women and children, were killed in the December-January conflict, when Israel attacked Gaza to ostensibly end Palestinian rockets from being intermittently fired into its territory.
Ten Israeli soldiers and three Israeli civilians were killed during the 22-day conflict.
Goldstone's 575-page report blamed both the Israelis and the Palestinian group Hamas for war crimes, but was more critical of Israeli troops for "targeting and terrorising civilians".
Of its 31 chapters, only one related to alleged war crimes by Palestinian fighters.
Analysts say the postponement in the vote lets Israelis off-the-hook for alleged war crimes.
Goldstone's findings were meant to be passed on to the UN Security Council after the planned vote. Israel and the Palestinians would have then got six months to impartially investigate the war crimes allegations.
While Hamas has already promised investigations, Israel has been loath to undertake any such exercise, fuelling accusations that Tel Aviv is indifferent to "excesses committed by its troops".
Hamas 'shocked'
Various Palestinian groups and human rights bodies have reacted strongly to the PA decision to back a delay in the vote.
"We were shocked today," Khaled Meshaal, the political chief of Hamas, said.
"Is it reasonable for Israel to commit all these crimes against Gaza, all this destruction, all this devastation, all this killing of civilians, all these institutions, mosques, and universities it has demolished, these war crimes which Israel has committed and the white phosphorus?
"We wanted this process to be carried through to label the Israeli actions as criminal and the Israelis as war criminals" Sameh Habeeb,
Palestine Telegraph founder and editor
"... after this a Palestinian voice emerges and asks for delaying looking into the results reached by the fact-finding committee, despite the few reservations we have on it, but a Palestinian voice comes to ask the world to postpone discussing it? What a shame"
Another Palestinian group, the Islamic Jihad, in a statement said the postponement was against Palestinian interests.
It said the move underlined "the Palestinian Authority's defeatism, lack of will and inability to shoulder responsibility towards the suffering of our people".
Ekmaluddin Ihsan Oglu, the secretary-general of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, said that the delay was agreed after a deal was reached between the US and the PA.
Lamis Andoni, a Middle East expert, observed that Abbas had succumbed to US pressure.
"The deferment has relieved the unprecedented pressure on Israel to face the consequences of its actions," she said.
"The decision has only given Israel and the US time to defuse the international outcry."
She said that many in the PA had been against the move and that Abbas had broken an agreement with the Fatah Central Committee by failing to consult the the newly elected body before making his decision.
"Abbas may have not wanted to alienate Obama, but the American president already squandered his credibility among the Palestinians when he dropped his demand for an Israeli settlement freeze as a prerequisite for the resumption of peace negotiations," she said.
'Betrayal'
The PA insists the delay was aimed at achieving greater consensus on the report.
Nimr Hamad, an aide to Abbas, said: "The report wasn't withdrawn ... It's still there."
But condemnation of the PA move has got louder and a Hamas legislator went to the extent of saying it amounted to "betrayal".
"This ... represents a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and confirms the extent of the collaboration between Abbas and his aides with the Zionist enemy, against the Palestinian people," Mushir al-Masri said.
Mustafa Barghouti, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said that the move "was totally unacceptable, unjustified..."
"There is no justification for postponing the approval of that report and all human rights organisation, most political organisations in Palestine are against that decision.
Sameh Habeeb, founder and editor of the Palestine Telegraph online newspaper, told Al Jazeera that an opportunity had been missed to raise awareness about "Israeli crimes".
"We wanted this process to be carried through to label the Israeli actions as criminal and the Israelis as war criminals," he said.
"The decision to delay the report to March is a method to make the Palestinians forget it, this is simply biding time."
The US, however, welcomed the delay, saying Washington would now concentrate on working towards renewing negotiations between the two sides.
"We appreciate the decision to defer consideration of the Goldstone report,"Esther Brimmer, the US assistant-secretary of state for international organisation affairs, said.
"And will continue to focus on working with Israel and the Palestinian Authority to relaunch permanent status negotiations as soon as possible." | en | After two days of debate, the United Nations has overwhelmingly endorsed a report from the Human Rights Council calling for domestic investigations into alleged war crimes committed by both Israel's military and Palestinian armed forces during the Gaza conflict that began last December.

en | Mr Goldstone called on both sides to carry out investigations Israel has rejected a UN resolution calling on it to independently investigate suspected war crimes during its military offensive in Gaza. An Israeli foreign ministry statement called the UN endorsement "completely detached from realities on the ground". It also said the 18 votes against the resolution, including the US, and the 44 abstentions, including many European countries, were the "moral majority". The resolution passed on Thursday with 60% of the assembly voting in favour. Human shields The resolution's wording asks Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to report on its implementation to the General Assembly within three months, "with a view to considering further action, if necessary, by the relevant United Nations organs and bodies", and to send the report to the Security Council. The endorsement came after a two-day debate on a report by former war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, which condemned the conduct of both sides during the war in Gaza last December and January. The Goldstone report accuses Israel of deliberately targeting civilians
UN seeks close Gaza scrutiny Key extracts from UN statement Full UN report on Gaza war The Goldstone report concluded that Israel had "committed actions amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity" by using disproportionate force, deliberately targeting civilians, using Palestinians as human shields and destroying civilian infrastructure during its Gaza offensive. It also found there was evidence that Palestinian militant groups - including Hamas, which controls Gaza - had committed war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity, in their repeated rocket and mortars attacks on southern Israel. The Palestinians backed the report but Israel rejected it from the outset, claiming it was biased and did not promote peace. Unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and correspondents say the Security Council would be unlikely to take any action if the case were ever referred to it. Palestinians and rights groups say more than 1,400 Gazans died in the 22-day conflict, but Israel puts the figure at 1,166. Thirteen Israelis, including three civilians, were killed.

de | Mit überwältigender Mehrheit haben die EU-Abgeordneten nach der kontroversen Debatte am gestrigen Dienstag nunmehr am heutigen Mittwochmittag in ihrer Plenarsitzung in Straßburg dem Vorschlag des EU-Rates für eine Richtlinie zur Patentierbarkeit "computerimplementierter Erfindungen" abgelehnt. 648 von 680 abgegebenen Stimmen votierten für einen entsprechenden Antrag, der von mehreren Fraktionen unterstützt worden war. Nur 14 Parlamentarier stimmten gegen die vorzeitige Beerdigung der Richtlinie, 18 enthielten sich. Insgesamt gingen 680 der 732 Abgeordneten zur Wahl, was für die Bedeutung des früheren Randthemas der Wirtschaftspolitik spricht.
Berichterstatter Michel Rocard hatte im Vorfeld der Abstimmung von der "gemeinsamen Wut" der Parlamentarier "gegen die unmögliche Vorgehensweise der Kommission und des Rates" gewettert. Es sein ein "totaler Sarkasmus uns gegenüber", dass beide Institutionen die Empfehlungen der Abgeordneten aus 1. Lesung komplett missachtet hätten. Die Abweisung ist für ihn ein Signal, dass das Problem der Softwarepatentierung noch nicht "reif" ist. Er sieht darin auch eine Botschaft an das Europäische Patentamt, seine Regeln auf diesem Gebiet zu überdenken.
Die EU-Kommission will nun prüfen, ob sie einen weiteren Vorschlag für eine EU-Richtlinie macht. Eine Vertreterin der EU-Kommission erklärte nach der Abstimmung, dass es das gute Recht des Parlaments sei, einen Vorschlag zurückzuweisen. Wenn das Parlament aber die Kommission konkret auffordere, so die Sprecherin, "werden wir natürlich mit den verschiedenen Ausschüssen sprechen und dann das Verfahren prüfen." Binnenmarktkommissar Charlie McCreevy hatte bisher mehrfach erklärt, keinen weiteren Anlauf zu machen. Damit wäre die Patent-Richtlinie endgültig gescheitert, da es dann kein Vermittlungsverfahren und keine weitere Beratungen im Parlament gibt. Von einigen Seiten war bereits zu hören, nun wäre ein ganz neuer, grundlegender Anlauf für ein europaweites, einheitliches Patentsystem notwendig.
Florian Müller, der für Firmen wie 1&1, MySQL oder Materna vergangene Woche noch einmal in den Lobbykampf eingriff, zeigt sich zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis: "Es wäre schwer gewesen, die vom Bundesgerichtshof vorgegebenen engen Grenzen der Patentierbarkeit von Software EU-weit durchzusetzen", weiß er. Mit der Zurückweisung, die einen "Albtraum" und die Verbreitung falscher Informationen über die angebliche Verhinderung von Softwarepatenten durch die Richtlinie beende, werde zumindest eine Verschlechterung des rechtlichen Rahmens verhindert. Skeptischer zeigt sich Axel Metzger vom Institut für Rechtsfragen der Freien und Open Source Software: Das Scheitern der Richtlinie sei zwar ein Sieg für die Demokratie in Europa. Es belege "die Macht des Europäischen Parlaments und der öffentlichen Meinung." In der Sache spricht Metzger aber von einem Pyrrhussieg: "Die Patentämter und Gerichte der Mitgliedstaaten sind nun weiterhin frei, ihren Kurs der vorsichtigen, aber steten Ausweitung der Patentierbarkeit fortzusetzen."
Einig sind sich die Softwarepatentgegner, dass die weite Patentierungspraxis des Europäischen Patentamtes (EPA) nun dringend auf den Prüfstand muss. "Das EPA muss sofort dazu aufgefordert werden, auf Basis des Europäischen Patentübereinkommens die Vergabe von Softwarepatenten zu stoppen", fordert Georg Greve, Präsident der Free Software Foundation Europe. Die Grundlinien des internationalen Vertrags sehen vor, dass auf Software "als solche" keine Monopolansprüche gewährt werden dürfen. Das EPA hat diese Regel sehr offen interpretiert und bereits geschätzte 30.000 Patente auf "computerimplementierte Erfindungen" erteilt. Darunter sind sehr allgemeine Verfahren wie das Ablegen von Artikeln in einen virtuellen Warenkorb oder das Zahlen mit Kreditkarte in einem Webshop, über deren "technischen Charakter" und Innovationskraft sich trefflich streiten lässt.
"Das Schalten und Walten des Europäischen Patentamtes ohne übergeordnete Kontrolle muss beendet werden", bläst Johannes Sommer, Mitgründer der Initiative Unternehmer gegen Softwarepatente ins gleiche Horn. Ein Dorn im Auge ist ihm auch die Ankündigung der EVP-Schattenberichterstatterin Piia-Noora Kauppi, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) im Patentwettlauf der Großen besser stellen zu wollen. "Das wäre unsinnig", befindet Sommer und fragt sich, "wann die Leute endlich verstehen, dass KMU überhaupt keine Patente für Softwarelösungen wollen." Andernfalls müssten Entwickler Verwertungsrechte in Form von Lizenzen erwerben, die sie momentan durch das Urheberrecht bei Eigenentwicklungen automatisch besitzen.
Auch Hartmut Pilch, Vorstand des Fördervereins für Freie Informationelle Infrastruktur (FFII) will nun "auf der nationalen Ebene weiter den Druck auf das Europäische Patentamt verstärken." Die von der Behörde verursachten Probleme "arbeiten für uns", gibt sich der Softwarepatentgegner optimistisch. Die "wirtschaftliche Mehrheit" , die laut FFII keine breite Monopolansprüche auf Computerprogramm will, werde sich immer weiter "ihrer Kraft bewusst werden", während die "Patentbeamten bald nicht mehr Herren des Verfahrens" seien. In diesem Stadium werde die Zeit für eine erneute Einigung auf der europäischen Ebene reif sein.
Die Parlamentarier reagierten mit dem Ziehen der Notbremse auch auf eine "Lobbyfehde ohne Beispiel", die der heutigen Entscheidung voranging, wie der CSU-Abgeordnete Joachim Wuermeling sagt. Befürworter und Gegner der Ratsversion hatten sich in den vergangenen drei Monaten eine teilweise unter die Gürtellinie und mit gezinkten Karten spielende Kampagne geliefert. Beide Seiten hatten mit dem Verlust von Millionen von Arbeitsplätzen und dem Aus für die innovative Hightech-Wirtschaft Europas argumentiert -- die einen aus der Perspektive der patentfreudigen Großindustrie, die anderen aus der Sichtweise des auf das Urheberrecht als Schutz von Programmcode setzenden Mittelstands.
Die Lobbyschlacht dauerte bis zur gestrigen Debatte im Rahmen der 2. Lesung unvermindert an: Früh wurden die Abgeordneten beim Betreten des Parlamentsgebäudes bereits von heftig gestikulierenden Demonstranten aus dem FFII-Umfeld in gelben T-Shirts und der Aufschrift "Power to the Parliament -- No Softwarepatents" begrüßt. Die Campaign for Creativity, die mit ihrer intransparenten Unterstützerschar für breite Softwarepatente die Aufmerksamkeit von Lobby-Watchdogs auf sich zog, hatte dagegen eine kleine Jacht mit dem Plakat "Stimmen Sie für die Richtlinie: Patente = Europäische Innovation" unter dem Flussübergang postiert, der die Sitzungs- und Arbeitsgebäude des Parlaments verbindet. Rasch mieteten die FFII-Anhänger daraufhin eine Reihe Kajaks, auf denen sie Transparente mit dem Motto "Softwarepatente töten die Innovation" neben dem Motorboot zur Schau stellten. Nicht alle Abgeordneten goutierten die Aktion: der CDU-Abgeordnete Werner Langen bezeichnete sie als "Erpressungsversuch" und beschimpfte Softwarepatentgegner als "Handlanger" asiatischer und amerikanischer Wirtschaftsinteressen. Zu den stärksten Befürwortern der Ratslinie hatten aber Konzerne wie die Business Software Alliance (BSA) gehört, die US-Größen wie IBM, Intel oder Microsoft vertritt und seit längerem beim Schutz "geistigen Eigentums" an einem Import des US-amerikanischen Rechtssystems in der EU arbeitet.
Zu den Auseinandersetzungen um Softwarepatente in Europa und die EU-Richtlinie zur Patentierbarkeit "computerimplementierter Erfindungen" siehe den Artikel auf c't aktuell (mit Linkliste zu den wichtigsten Artikeln aus der Berichterstattung auf heise online und zu den aktuellen Meldungen):
) / ( jk /c't) | de | Demonstration gegen Softwarepatente
Heute Mittag stimmten 648 von 680 Abgeordneten gegen die Richtlinie zur Patentierbarkeit „computerimplementierter Erfindungen“ und verhinderten damit die EU-weite Einführung von Softwarepatenten und Geschäftsmethoden, wie sie in den USA seit langem praktiziert werden.
Im Vorfeld der endgültigen zweiten Lesung im EU-Parlament tobte eine massive Lobbyschlacht seitens der Software- und Industriegiganten wie IBM, Intel oder Microsoft einerseits und mittelständischen Unternehmen sowie der Open Source Community andererseits.
Fraglich ist jedoch, wer die Auseinandersetzung gewonnen hat. Den derzeitig EU-rechtsfreien Raum nutzen die nationalen Parlamente und die Kommission zur Zeit überwiegend im Sinne der Patentbefürworter.
Derzeit wird im Rat eine Richtlinie für ein Gemeinschaftspatent diskutiert. Diese könnte doch noch eine EU-weite Vereinheitlichung bringen. |

Dezember und anschließend nach sternklarer Nacht festfrierender Schnee neben lokalem Blitzeis am 4. Dezember für ein Verkehrschaos gesorgt.
So ging am 3. Dezember auf der Bundesautobahn 3 im Bundesland Hessen im morgendlichen Berufsverkehr auf eine Länge von 40 Kilometern nichts mehr. Viele Autofahrer und Lastwagenfahrer saßen stundenlang fest oder kehrten um; viele Leute blieben den Arbeitsstätten fern. Querstehende Lastkraftwagen und Fahrzeuge mit abgefahrenen Sommerreifen behinderten den Verkehr, die Streu- und Räumdienste brachten Unmengen von Streusalz auf die Straße, konnten jedoch dem beständigen Rieseln nur wenig entgegensetzen. In Schmitten hat ein Lastwagen einen vollbesetzten Schulbus gerammt, weil der Fahrer des LKW die Kontrolle über sein Fahrzeug verloren hatte. Drei Schulkinder und ein weiterer Autofahrer, der in die Unfallstelle fuhr, wurden leicht verletzt in Krankenhäuser gebracht. Die übrigen Schüler und Schülerinnen mussten unter der Leitung einer Lehrkraft zu Fuß zur Schule gehen.
Im Großraum Frankfurt, Offenbach Land und dem Main-Kinzig-Kreis kam es in der Nacht zum Donnerstag und am Morgen zu zahlreichen Verkehrsunfällen auf zum Teil spiegelglatten Straßen. Etwa 50 Unfälle ereigneten sich dort, dabei gab es insgesamt sechs Leichtverletzte, es blieb aber überwiegend bei Blechschäden.
Auch aus Nordhessen werden fünf Unfälle gemeldet! Bilanz der Polizei hier: drei Scherverletzte und zwei Leichtverletzte. Blitzeis entsteht, wenn der Boden bis in tiefe Lagen gefroren ist und es dann darauf nieselt bzw. es reicht auch Nebelreißen nach längerer Trockenperiode unter Frost. In Abgrenzung dazu spricht man bei wieder anfrieren der durch Ausbringen von Salz aufgetauten Fahrbahnen von überfrierender Nässe bzw. Glatteis.

es | “Nuestra educación, nuestro deporte, nuestros hijos, la salud, los servicios públicos los tenemos gracias a Antioquia”, exclamó, enardecida, Yaneth Córdoba , una de las participantes en la movilización de ayer.
Y es que el anuncio de la publicación, este 12 de junio, por parte del Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (IGAC) de un mapa en el que ubica del lado de Chocó a Belén de Bajirá, territorio que según la Gobernación de Antioquia hace parte del municipio de Mutatá, ha suscitado toda suerte de reclamos, la indignación de unos y los aplausos de otros.
Buscaban hacer sentir un clamor que consideran justo. Belén de Bajirá se paralizó ayer y por sus estrechas y empantanadas calles miles de personas marcharon para pedirle al Gobierno Nacional, una vez más, que les permita decidir a qué departamento, Antioquia o Chocó, quieren pertenecer.
Según la Gobernación de Antioquia, los fallos y actos administrativos han ubicado siempre a Belén de Bajirá en el municipio de Mutatá, y a Blanquiceth, Macondo y Nuevo Oriente como corregimientos de Turbo, todos ellos en el Urabá antioqueño.
Sin embargo, estos territorios —dijo Leopoldino Perea, líder que promueve la soberanía de Chocó—, quedarán unidos para conformar el municipio de Belén de Bajirá, y que apuntaría a ser el segundo en importancia de ese departamento del Pacífico.
“No sé porque marchan y discuten. Si las razones son técnicas y científicas. Belén de Bajirá es chocoano y no aceptamos el ánimo expansionista de Antioquia”, anotó.
Belén de Bajirá, a unas 6 horas en carro desde Medellín, es un humilde caserío con la mayoría de viviendas hechas en madera y con una cuantas que superan los dos pisos.
El producto en primera línea de la economía local es el plátano, del que hay, según líderes campesinos, 2.500 hectáreas sembradas y 1.288 productores que despachan hasta 18.000 cajas al mes. También hay 370 locales comerciales que tributan hasta 3.000 millones de pesos anuales a Mutatá.
Álvaro Valencia es un comerciante del pueblo, que a pulso ha crecido y generado empleo para los habitantes. Insistió en que estima a los chocoanos, con quienes por décadas han convivido en paz.
“No cabe la menor duda que para chocoanos y antioqueños, para todos, lo mejor es seguir perteneciendo a Antioquia”, acotó.
A las protestas y paros, que aseguran promotores continuarán hasta que el Gobierno desista de publicar el mapa o acepte una consulta popular para que los habitantes decidan si desean pertenecer a Antioquia o Chocó, se unirían comerciantes y moradores de Mutatá y Chocó. | es | Sede del (IGAC), entidad que publicó el nuevo mapa del .

En Antioquia se acusa al gobierno de de haber dado Belén de Bajirá al Chocó como parte de un acuerdo para terminar un paro cívico en el Pacífico mientras que el gobierno asegura que el poner a Belén de Bajirá en el Chocó ya estaba decidido desde antes.

es | Para el Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (Igac) no hay lugar a dudas: Belén de Bajirá es un municipio de Chocó y no un corregimiento de Mutatá, en el Urabá antioqueño. Así quedó consignado en los nuevos mapas oficiales que publicó el instituto este sábado. “Como es de conocimiento general, durante la diligencia de deslinde realizada en el mes de marzo de 2015, el equipo técnico del Igac estableció que para el caso en controversia no había lugar a duda, pues lo evidenciado en terreno correspondía fielmente al límite contenido en la Ley 13 de 1947 por medio del cual se creó el departamento del Chocó”, señaló el instituto en un comunicado. Lea aquí: Y al fin, ¿qué piensan en Belén de Bajirá sobre la disputa? El Igac aclaró que desde el pasado 7 de junio, el grupo de generación de datos y productos cartográficos terminó el proceso de integración en la cartografía básica de estos dos departamentos el nuevo trazado de los límites, “conforme al resultado arrojado en la diligencia de deslindes”. “Culminado el proceso de actualización cartográfica el Igac procedió a su publicación conforme el mandato legal, quedando solo pendiente la realización del respectivo amojonamiento”, informó el organismo técnico.

Historia de la disputa Belén de Bajirá comenzó a formarse en 1967, de acuerdo con autoridades locales, y en 1975 la gobernación de Antioquia lo designó corregimiento de Mutatá . En el año 2000 la Asamblea del Chocó, mediante ordenanza, lo declaró municipio de ese departamento, pero en 2007 el Consejo de Estado dejó sin piso la ordenanza. Le puede interesar: ¿Qué tiene Belén de Bajirá para que peleen por él? Hoy el caserío tiene un centro médico con empleados pagados por Antioquia, escuelas con docentes de este departamento y escasas obras públicas, como el polideportivo del parque principal, construido por los gobiernos antioqueños. La presencia de Chocó en Belén de Bajirá está representada en un inspección de Policía, una institución educativa, un centro de Salud, un juzgado y la sede de Codechocó. Ante el cambio, en el que tendrían que tributar a Chocó y esperar inversión de ese departamento, Mérido Martínez no negó su temor. Este habitante afirmó que los trasnocha la posibilidad que los servicios públicos con que cuenta: agua y energía, les sean quitados cuando se oficialice que el territorio que habita hace 48 años ya no es de Antioquia. “La mayor parte de los habitantes no quieren ser del Chocó, incluso muchos que son nacidos en ese departamento. Hace 15 años estamos discutiendo ese tema aquí y no hacen nada. Pasan y no ayudan. En cambio los colegios, el centro médico lo ha hecho Antioquia”, expresó. Antioquia se opone al cambio El gobernador de Antioquia, Luis Pérez Gutiérrez, ha sido la principal cara de la defensa de Belén de Bajirá como territorio antioqueño. Hace una semana, el mandatario le dijo a EL COLOMBIANO que si el presidente Santos le entrega Bajirá a Chocó, el primer paso de Antioquia será sacar los maestros, los médicos, el centro de salud y las escuelas porque son bienes del departamento. “Habría que estudiar qué pasa con los servicios públicos, que han sido de Antioquia, porque uno cometería peculado al gastar dinero público en territorio que no es de su jurisdicción. Ellos no calcularon las consecuencias tan delicadas que trae este proceso”, señaló Pérez. Pero los paisas no se quedarán de brazos cruzados. La propuesta del gobernador es hacer una consulta popular para que sean los mismos habitantes de Belén de Bajirá los que decidan si quieren ser de Antioquia o de Chocó. La propuesta es respaldada por los pobladores de Bajirá que están en paro cívico y reclaman potestad para decidir sobre su propio territorio, informó este sábado la Secretaría de Gobierno del departamento de Antioquia.

En Belén de Bajirá protestaron contra el mapa del Igac “¿De dónde hemos sido? ¡De Antioquia! ¿De dónde queremos ser? ¡De Antioquia! ¿De dónde seremos? ¡De Antioquia!”, fueron las consignas de un grupo de habitantes de Belén de Bajirá que salió a protestar este sábado por la decisión del Igac. Pero la protesta no terminó de forma pacífica. Algunas personas se tomaron la troncal que comunica a Mutatá con Chigorodó, el Esmad intervino y la disputa terminó con una persona herida, según dijo el secretario de gobierno de Mutatá, Richard Guevara, a Caracol Radio. “La comunidad está muy molesta y por eso decidió salir a bloquear la vía y fue allí cuando empezó la pelea entre policía y manifestantes, un muchacho que estaba en la movilización resultó herido”, aclaró el funcionario. | es | Sede del (IGAC), entidad que publicó el nuevo mapa del .

en | Russia to pull out of Georgia within a month
The French and Russian presidents have agreed that Russia will pull its troops out of Georgia within one month after accepting EU peace monitors.
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France -- the chair country of the European Union -- met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow on Monday.
At a joint news conference, the 2 leaders say Russia has agreed to remove 5 checkpoints around the Georgian Black Sea port city of Poti within a week.
They also say Russia will accept about 200 EU peace monitors by October 1st and completely pull its troops out of Georgian territory within 10 days.
Nearly one month after Sarkozy brokered a truce ending the 5-day war between Russia and Georgia, Russian troops still remain deep inside Georgian territory.
Georgia and the West have accused Russia of failing to honor its pledge to withdraw troops to their positions before fighting broke out on August 7th. But Russia says they are peacekeepers and are needed to maintain security in Georgia's breakaway provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russia has recognized the 2 regions as independent states.
An international conference on the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia will be held in Geneva next month.

en | Story Highlights • NEW: Two Baghdad bombings kill 22, injure dozens
• "I don't have enough forces to get security situation moving," general says
• Diyala province is insurgency hot spot bordering Iran
• U.S. must not cede "moral high ground" to enemies, general tells troops
Adjust font size:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military commander in charge of northern Iraqi operations on Friday said more troops are needed to stem rising insurgent violence in Diyala province.
"I do not have enough soldiers right now in Diyala province to get that security situation moving," said Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander of the 25th Infantry Division.
Mixon's comments came as a political battle was being waged in Washington over whether funding for U.S. forces fighting in Iraq should be tied to a deadline for their withdrawal.
In Washington on Thursday, the U.S. House passed a bill that would tie war funding beyond July to a progress report. The bill faced an uncertain future in the Senate, however, and President Bush vowed to veto it. (Full story)
Vice President Dick Cheney visited Iraq earlier this week with a tough message for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that time is running out for a solution to the country's mounting security crisis.
A senior administration figure said Cheney told Iraqi officials that the situation had reached a critical point.
"We've got to get this work done. It's game time. ... Everybody's got to sit down, raise their game, redouble their efforts," the source said.
Mixon did not specify whether more U.S. or Iraqi forces were needed. He made his comments during a news briefing from Iraq via teleconference at the Pentagon.
"We have plans to put additional forces in that area. ... We have put additional forces in there over that last couple months, an additional Stryker battalion, but I'm going to need additional forces in Diyala province to get that situation to a more acceptable level." (Watch Mixon lay out his need for additional troops )
He said he has been in touch with Gen. Raymond Odierno, the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq, about more troops in Diyala, even before the troop escalation that the administration calls a "surge" began in February. He said Odierno has been "providing them over time as they have become available."
About 3,500 U.S. soldiers, 10,000 Iraqi soldiers and several thousand police officers are stationed there. More than 3,000 additional police are needed, he said.
The level of violence has increased in Diyala, Mixon said, because the forces are increasing their offensive operations against the insurgents, many of whom have left Baghdad during the recent security crackdown, and because al Qaeda in Iraq has made Diyala a focus.
"It's where many of their high-level individuals have been killed or captured," he said. "They declared it their caliphate a year or two ago. So they have been in there for a while."
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the late al Qaeda in Iraq leader, was killed in a U.S. airstrike last year while he was hiding in the Diyala town of Hibhib.
The province borders Iran and is an effective hiding place for insurgents.
"And quite frankly, there are a lot of former regime elements in there, and the Sunni population in certain areas were providing them support," Mixon said. "So we stepped up our offensive operations, and it was at that point when I realized that I was going to need additional forces."
On April 23, two suicide car bombers struck a U.S. outpost in Diyala, killing nine American soldiers and wounding 20 others from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division.
Referring to the entire region he covers, which includes Nineveh, Salaheddin and Tameem provinces, Mixon said, "We are making progress," but added, "it is slow."
The "bureaucracy in Baghdad" needs to do a better job of helping and supporting soldiers, saying "ministries move too slow to provide help," even though the situation has improved.
He said the government needs to show the Iraqi people it can provide the proper security and services.
Mixon was asked about the U.S. troop escalation called "the surge," and said those issues were being debated in Washington, and that his mind wasn't on possible deadlines for withdrawal that are being debated in Congress.
However, he said, "we just can't think about pulling out of here just like that."
"We need a long-term commitment in some form or fashion to ensure security in the region," he said, adding that it "doesn't need to be in the number we have now."
Troops urged to fight fair
America's top military commander in Iraq has sent a letter to troops challenging them to "occupy the moral high ground" after a Pentagon survey showed some service members were reluctant to report the "illegal actions" of fellow personnel.
In the letter, dated Thursday, Gen. David Petraeus wrote he was "concerned" with the poll's findings.
"This fight depends on securing the population, which must understand that we -- not our enemies -- occupy the moral high ground," he said.
The survey of ethics, released last week, assessed the mental health and ethical attitudes of more than 1,300 soldiers and nearly 450 Marines last year. (Read the report)
Results showed that fewer than half of soldiers and Marines would report a team member for unethical behavior.
Survey results also showed that about 10 percent admitted mistreating noncombatants or damaging their property when it was not necessary.
Only about 47 percent of Army soldiers and 38 percent of Marines agreed that noncombatants should be treated with dignity and respect.
In the letter, Petraeus also underscored that torture to obtain information from the enemy was "wrong."
More than a third of soldiers and Marines reported that torture should be allowed to save the life of a comrade. "Beyond the basic fact that such actions are illegal, history shows that they also are frequently neither useful or necessary," Petraeus said.
Other developments
Twenty-two people were killed and 60 were wounded Friday in two southeastern Baghdad bombings, an official with the Iraqi Interior Ministry told CNN. Two suicide bombs -- one in a car and another in a fuel tanker -- exploded in quick succession in the predominantly Shiite Zafaraniya district, each targeting an Iraqi police patrol. A bridge over the Tigris River was substantially damaged.
Seventeen unidentified bodies were found on Friday in Baghdad, the Interior Ministry said. This brings the number of such corpses found in the capital city this month to 236.
The U.S. military on Friday reported the deaths of two U.S. soldiers in Iraq on Thursday. One soldier was killed in a roadside bombing targeting a patrol in eastern Baghdad. Another soldier died from wounds sustained in an explosion in Diyala province, a military statement said. Thirty-four U.S. military personnel have been killed in May, bringing the total for the Iraq war to 3,385, including seven Defense Department civilians.
Coalition forces killed "four terrorists" and detained "nine suspected terrorists" in raids Thursday and Friday targeting car bomb networks in Iraq, the U.S. military said in a statement. One of those killed was a suspected car-bomb cell leader "allegedly tied to al Qaeda in Iraq senior leadership."

The U.S. military commander in charge of northern Iraqi operations today said more troops are needed to stem rising insurgent violence in Diyala province.
"I do not have enough soldiers right now in Diyala province to get that security situation moving," said Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander of the 25th Infantry Division.
Mixon also said that Iraqi government officials are not moving fast enough to provide the "most powerful weapon" against insurgents — a government that works and supplies services for the people.
Mixon commands the area that includes Diyala province, north of Baghdad. It was a hotbed of the Sunni insurgency before the start of the Baghdad security crackdown and has worsened since militants fled there to avoid the increased U.S.-led operations started in the capital in February.
Mixon has about 3,500 troops in Diyala and there are about 10,000 Iraqi soldiers and several thousand Iraqi police, with 3,000 more police approved but not yet hired and trained. |

La modelo británica Naomi Campbell se reunió con el presidente Hugo Chávez en la sede de gobierno, convirtiéndose en la más reciente de una serie de celebridades recibidas por el líder venezolano.
La modelo se mostró sonriente ante fotógrafos y reporteros en el momento que llegó al palacio presidencial, pero dijo poco sobre lo que espera conversar con el mandatario. "He estado leyendo y escuchando de mis amigos y quise verlo por mí misma", dijo sobre el mandatario.
"Estoy impresionada de lo que he visto aquí", agregó. Explicó que visitó un hospital cardiológico infantil en Caracas, que fue recién inaugurado por el gobierno, y comentó que "es maravilloso saber y ver" lo que se está poniendo en marcha en Venezuela. La promotora de la Fundación Nelson Mandela señaló que es "impresionante" conocer que en el hospital se pueden atender a 1.200 niños venezolanos y recibir a otros de América Latina.
La modelo se había reunido la noche del martes con Chávez en el palacio presidencial de Miraflores. Campbell aprovechó ese encuentro para entrevistar a Chávez durante unas tres horas, según refirió el propio mandatario hoy en un acto. "Me hizo una entrevista de tres horas para una revista en la que ella trabaja. Me hizo preguntas traviesas, me preguntó: ¿Cree que el imperio va a caer?", contó Chávez.
Su visita se produjo después que Chávez recibió en octubre en su despacho al actor estadounidense Kevin Spacey, quien elogió el gobierno venezolano en sus esfuerzos por apoyar la realización de películas. Chávez también ha recibido recientemente visitas de estrellas de Hollywood, incluidos los actores Sean Penn y Danny Glover. | es | Hugo Chávez

"Me siento muy honrada de encontrarme hoy aquí", dijo la modelo, quien paticipó en el acto como representante de la Fundación Nelson Mandela para los Niños. "Estoy impresionada por lo que he visto en este país en apenas 24 horas" de visita, prosiguió Campbell, quien aludió especialmente a los programas sociales de atención a mujeres y niños y expresó su deseo de que Chávez se reúna con el ex presidente de Sudáfrica, Nelson Mandela. Después de su intervención, Campbell, sentada en primera fila, siguió el discurso de Chávez entre risas por sus comentarios sobre la fortaleza de las mujeres. La modelo se había reunido la noche del martes con Chávez en el palacio presidencial de Miraflores. Campbell aprovechó ese encuentro para entrevistar a Chávez durante unas tres horas, según refirió el propio mandatario este miércoles en el acto. "Me hizo una entrevista de tres horas para una revista en la que ella trabaja. Me hizo preguntas traviesas, me preguntó: '¿cree que el imperio va a caer?'", contó Chávez. El presidente venezolano ha recibido este año a los actores de Hollywood Danny Glover, Sean Penn y Kevin Spacey. Penn también acompañó a Chávez en dos actos públicos: uno en el teatro Teresa Carreño y otro con agricultores en los Andes venezolanos. nn/jl/aic Copyright 2007 AFP. All rights reserved.

El presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, recibió ayer martes a la modelo británica Naomi Campbell. La modelo estuvo sonriente ante fotógrafos y reporteros al llegar al palacio presidencial, y no dijo mucho sobre lo que conversaría con Chávez; lo único que dijo fue que "he estado leyendo y escuchando de mis amigos y quise verlo por mí misma".
Dijo estar impresionada de lo que ha construido el gobierno venezolano: un hospital infantil en Caracas, donde se podrá atender 1.200 niños venezolanos y de América Latina.
La modelo se reunió con Chávez ayer a la noche y aprovechó el encuentro para entrevistar al presidente en una entrevista que duró unas 3 horas. Chavéz comentó que ella le hizo preguntas traviesas como ¿Cree que el imperio va a caer? |
de | Die Sozialdemokraten in Baden-Württemberg sehen im Vorgehen gegen die Erhebung von Fernsehgebühren für internetfähige Personalcomputer jetzt Ministerpräsident Günther Oettinger (CDU) am Zug. Der SPD geht es darum, dass für gewerblich genutzte Internet-Computer allenfalls die Rundfunk-Grundgebühr in Höhe von 5,52 Euro, nicht aber die volle Fernsehgebühr von 17,03 Euro erhoben wird. Der SPD-Abgeordnete Rainer Prewo sagte laut dpa: "Es ist erfreulich, dass die Landesregierung unseren Vorschlag unterstützt, sie muss ihn auf der bevorstehenden Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz nun auch durchsetzen." Dies ergibt sich nach Angaben von Prewo, Sprecher der SPD-Fraktion für Mittelstand, Handwerk und freie Berufe, aus der Antwort der Landesregierung auf seinen Antrag.
Oettinger soll sich nach dem Willen der SPD auf der Sitzung der Rundfunkkommission der Länder am 21. September dafür einsetzen, dass die volle Fernsehgebühr für Internet-PCs verhindert wird. Sonst würde vom 1. Januar 2007 an automatisch die höhere Gebühr für TV-Geräte fällig. Eine Begrenzung auf die Grundgebühr für Hörfunk werde der Praxis bei gewerblich genutzten Internet-PCs eher gerecht als die Erhebung der vollen Fernsehgebühr, meinte Prewo.
Angesichts des Drucks von Bürgern und Wirtschaftsverbänden hatte bereits Berlins Regierender Bürgermeister Klaus Wowereit in einem Webforum zur Wahl des Abgeordnetenhauses in der Hauptstadt angekündigt, dass sich die Rundfunkkommission der Länder im September erneut über die Auswirkungen der von ihr beschlossenen GEZ-Regelungen beraten werde. Und während einzelne Politiker ein weiteres Moratorium bei der Rundfunkgebühr für Internet-PCs oder eine grundlegende GEZ-Reform fordern, gehen andere Stimmen von einer Reduzierung der GEZ-Gebühr auf den Obolus für Radiogeräte aus, wie ihn auch die Südwest-SPD fordert. Auch Parlamentarier und Regierungsvertreter aus anderen Bundesländern, etwa aus Sachsen, befürworteten in den letzten Tagen die Reduzierung der GEZ-Gebühr für Internet-PCs auf die Radiogebühr.
Zuletzt hatte Anfang September die Süddeutsche Zeitung berichtet, eine Einigung auf die niedrigere Radiogebühr von 5,52 Euro für internetfähige Computer sei so gut wie sicher, da sich auch ARD und ZDF darauf verständigt hätten. Dazu sei nach anfänglichem Widerstand nun das ZDF bereit, das mangels eigener Radioangebote an der Grundgebühr eigentlich keinen Anteil erhielte. Dabei könnte, um die Gebührenaufteilung nicht außer der Reihe zugunsten der ARD zu verschieben, das ZDF abgefunden werden, etwa durch eine Beteiligung an der Radiogebühr oder ein nachträglicher Ausgleich im kommenden Gebührenverfahren.
Gebührenzahler berappen gegenwärtig 17,03 Euro monatlich für ihren Radio- und Fernsehempfang. Auf die tatsächliche Nutzung der Angebote der Öffentlich-Rechtlichen kommt es dabei nicht an. Nach den Regelungen im achten Rundfunkänderungsstaatsvertrag, den die Ministerpräsidenten der Bundesländer im Herbst 2004 beschlossen, sollen mit der vollen Gebühr auch prinzipiell rundfunkfähige Geräte wie Computer oder Handys mit Internetanbindung belegt werden, falls Haushalte oder Unternehmen bislang keine Beiträge für andere Empfangsgeräte an die GEZ zahlen.
Ein spezieller Anschluss für einen Fernseh- oder Rundfunkempfang, etwa eine TV- oder DVB-T-Karte, ist nach den Bestimmungen nicht notwendig, damit ein PC GEZ-pflichtig wird – derart ausgestattete ausgerüstete PCs sind auch bislang bereits rundfunkgebührenpflichtig. Für Firmen soll die Gebühr grundstücksbezogen erhoben werden. Unternehmen würden damit pro Firmengebäude zahlungspflichtig, aber nur dann, wenn sie nicht bereits GEZ-Gebühren für die am jeweiligen Standort eventuell vorhandene Fernsehgeräte bezahlen.
Obwohl die Länderchefs sich in ihrer Rundfunkkommission bereits im Herbst 2004 darauf verständigt hatten, die Befreiung von der Rundfunkgebühr für Internet-fähige PCs Ende 2006 aufzuheben, hat sich diesem Vorhaben nun erst kurz vor dem Ablaufen der Frist ein Sturm der Entrüstung entgegengestellt. Medienpolitiker auf Bundesebene reagieren daher immer wieder mit Vorschlägen für eine umfassende Reform des GEZ-Verfahrens, während Rundfunkreferenten der Länder grundsätzlich eine "Sparversion" auf Basis der bisherigen Radioabgabe für vernetzte Geräte ins Auge gefasst haben.

Dabei signalisierten die Rundfunkreferenten grundsätzlich ihr Einverständnis für eine reduzierte GEZ-Gebühr für Internet-PCs in Höhe der bisherigen Radioabgabe von monatlich 5,52 Euro.

Die ARD favorisiert das GEZ-Sparmodell für Internet-PCs schon seit einiger Zeit, habe sich darauf aber nicht festgelegt. "Das wäre allerdings ein Weg, wie wir aus dieser Situation, in die wir hineingeschlittert sind, wieder herausschlittern könnten", zitiert das Hamburger Nachrichtenmagazin die ARD-Intendantenkreise. Als reiner Fernsehsender befürchtet das ZDF hingegen, von der Radiogebühr nichts abzubekommen. Nachdem die Runkfunkreferenten den Ball zu den öffentlich-rechtlichen Sendern zurückgespielt haben, ist es nun an ihnen, sich über die Höhe der GEZ-Gebühren zu einigen und einen Verteilungsschlüssel zu finden, den das ZDF akzeptieren kann.
Eine Drittelung der Internet-Gebühr für Computer käme der Surf-Realität sicherlich ein ganzes Stück näher. Denn einerseits kann sich das Informationsangebot der öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender im Internet noch längst nicht mit dem ihrer TV- oder Radioprogramme messen. Andererseits stehen dem Internet-Nutzer weitaus mehr Informationsquellen als im Rundfunk offen, sodass er noch weniger auf die Angebote des öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender angewiesen ist.
Schleswig-Holsteins Ministerpräsident Peter Harry Carstensen (CDU) hat sich indes gegen Rundfunkgebühren für internetfähige Computer ausgesprochen. "Schleswig-Holstein tritt für ein zeitlich befristetes Moratorium ein. Damit wollen wir Zeit gewinnen, um die gesetzlichen Regelungen im Interesse aller Beteiligten zu überarbeiten und dem aktuellen Stand der Technik anzupassen", sagte Carstensen der Bild am Sonntag.

en | Iraq: U.S. Raid Kills Women, Children U.S. Disputes Reported Death Toll Of 11; Raid Targeted Suspected Qaeda Supporter
Saddam Hussein appeared before his trial to testify Wednesday, but the chief judge closed the session to the public after the former Iraqi leader refused his orders to stop making political speeches, CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan reports. The former Iraqi leader, wearing a black suit and standing before the chief judge, called the trial a "comedy."
The U.S. military dispatched a battalion of soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, about 700 troops, to Iraq from its base in Kuwait to provide extra security for Shiite holy cities as tens of thousands of pilgrims converged for a major religious commemoration that came under attack in the two previous years.
On Tuesday, the U.S. military reported the deaths of two more soldiers in fighting in the insurgent-infested Anbar province. 2,310 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an AP count.
Iraq's Interior Minister said that some 421 al-Qaeda fighters tried to infiltrate an Iraqi army battalion responsible for guarding all the check points and entrances to the green zone, where the U.S. embassy and key government posts are housed in the Baghdad, reports Logan. Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said security officials had foiled the plot.
In other violence Wednesday, the military said a U.S. soldier was killed by mortar fire southwest of Baghdad. At least 2,311 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
A CBS News poll finds the American public is increasingly convinced that the war in Iraq is going badly and may not get any better. An overwhelming number say Iraq is currently in a civil war, and nearly half think the U.S. effort there will not succeed.
A U.S. raid north of the capital Wednesday killed 11 people, most of them women and children, said police and relatives of the victims. The American military confirmed the attack but said only four people died, a man, two women and a child.Police Capt. Laith Mohammed said the attack near Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, involved U.S. warplanes and armor that flattened a house in the village of Isahaqi.An Associated Press reporter at the scene said the roof of the house had collapsed, three cars were destroyed and two cows were killed.The 11 victims were wrapped in blankets and driven in three pickup trucks to the Tikrit General Hospital, about 45 miles to the north, relatives said.AP photographs showed the bodies of two men, five children and four other covered figures arriving at the hospital accompanied by grief-stricken relatives. The victims were covered in dust with bits of rubble tangled in their hair.The U.S. military said the target of the raid was a man suspected of supporting foreign fighters of the al Qaeda in Iraq terror network, and he was captured."Troops were engaged by enemy fire as they approached the building," said Tech. Sgt. Stacy Simon, a military spokeswoman. "Coalition forces returned fire utilizing both air and ground assets."Riyadh Majid, who identified himself as the nephew of Faez Khalaf, the head of the household who was killed, told AP at the hospital that U.S. forces landed in helicopters and raided the home early Wednesday.Khalaf's brother, Ahmed, said nine of the victims were family members who lived at the house and two were visitors."The dead family was not part of the resistance, they were women and children," he said. "The Americans have promised us a better life, but we get only death." | fr | Carte de l'Irak

en | US forces and the Iraqi army today launched what was termed the largest air assault since the US-led invasion, targeting insurgent strongholds north of the capital.
"More than 1,500 Iraqi and Coalition troops, over 200 tactical vehicles, and more than 50 aircraft participated in the operation," the military statement said. The attack was designed to "clear a suspected insurgent operating area northeast of Samarra" - 60 miles north of Baghdad.
The military said the operation was expected to continue over several days against insurgent targets in Salahuddin province, where Samarra is a key city.
The assault was launched just hours before Iraq's new parliament was sworn behind the concrete blast walls of the heavily fortified Green Zone - with parties still deadlocked over the next government, vehicles banned from Baghdad's streets to prevent car bombings and the country under the shadow of a feared civil war.
The long-expected first session, which took place within days of the third anniversary of the US-led invasion, lasted just 40 minutes and was adjourned indefinitely because there still was no agreement on a permanent speaker for the legislature and his deputies.
Salahuddin province is a major part of the so-called Sunni triangle where insurgents have been active since shortly after the invasion. Saddam Hussein was captured in the province, not far from its capital, Tikrit. On Feb. 22, bombers destroyed an important Shiite shrine in the city, triggering a wave of sectarian killing that has claimed hundreds of lives.
Waqas al-Juwanya, a spokesman for the provincial government's joint coordination center in nearby Dowr, said "unknown gunmen exist in this area, killing and kidnapping policemen, soldiers and civilians."
Near the end of the first day of the operation, the military said, a number of weapons caches had been captured, containing artillery shells, explosives, bomb-making materials, and military uniforms.
It said the attack began with soldiers from the Iraqi Army's 1st Brigade, 4th Division, the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team and the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade conducting a combined air and ground assault to isolate the targeted area.
Air power backed the operation and delivered troops from the Iraq Army's 4th Division, the Rakkasans from 1st and 3rd Battalions, 187th Infantry Regiment and the Hunters from 2nd Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment to multiple objectives.
The military said forces from the 2nd Commando Brigade then completed a ground infiltration to secure numerous structures in the area. There was no immediate word on casualties.
In Baghdad, Adnan Pachachi, the senior politician who administered the oath in the absence of a speaker of parliament, spoke of a country in crisis.
"We have to prove to the world that a civil war is not and will not take place among our people," Pachachi told lawmakers. "The danger is still looming and the enemies are ready for us because they do not like to see a united, strong, stable Iraq."
As Pachachi spoke, he was interrupted from the floor by senior Shiite leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, who said the remarks were inappropriate because of their political nature.
Even the oath was a source of disagreement, with the head of the committee that drafted the country's new constitution, Humam Hammoudi, protesting that lawmakers had strayed from the text. After brief consultations, judicial officials agreed the wording was acceptable and the session adjourned until further notice.
Acting Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari told reporters after the brief session, "If politicians work seriously, we can have a government within a month."
Al-Jaafari's candidacy for a second term as prime minister is at the center of the political logjam that delayed parliament's first session for over a month after the results of Dec. 15 elections were approved.
Under the constitution, the largest parliamentary bloc, controlled by Shiites, has the right to nominate the prime minister. Al-Jaafari won the Shiite nomination by a single vote last month.
Politicians involved in the negotiations have said part of the Shiite bloc, those aligned with al-Hakim, would like to see al-Jaafari ousted but fear the consequences, given his backing from radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and al-Sadr's thousands-strong Mahdi Army.
Sunni, Kurdish and some secular Shiites argue al-Jaafari is too divisive and accuse him of not doing enough to contain waves of revenge killing after bombers destroyed the Shiite shrine in Samarra and ripped apart teeming markets in an al-Sadr stronghold in Baghdad on Sunday.
US officials have been pressing political leaders to reach agreement on a national unity government, under which the country's majority Shiite Muslims would share Cabinet posts equitably with minority Sunnis and Kurds.
The Americans see that as the best opportunity for blunting the Sunni-driven insurgency that has ravaged the country since 2003. If a strong central government were in place, Washington had hoped to start removing some troops by summer.
Parliament's inaugural session started the clock on a 60-day period in which parliament must elect a president and approve a prime minister and Cabinet.
Hours after the session adjourned, two mortar shells were fired into the Green Zone, said al-Mohammedawi, the Interior Ministry official. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Police discovered 29 more bodies discarded in various parts of Baghdad late Wednesday and Thursday. The victims were all men, some with their hands bound, who had been shot execution-style and dumped in both Shiite and Sunni Muslim neighborhoods, said Interior Ministry official Lt. Col. Falah al-Mohammedawi.
North of the capital, a roadside bomb exploded near a girl's primary school near Baqouba, killing three students aged 12-13 and injuring two others, police said.
Another bomb missed a US patrol in Mosul, killing one civilian and wounding three others, police said. Four more people were killed in a drive-by shooting in the city.
In Ramadi, residents picked through the rubble of a home they said was destroyed in a US raid. Residents have reported repeated clashes in the city in an insurgent-plagued area west of Baghdad.
Recent AP Television News video showed a gunbattle in which a gasoline truck was set on fire, and at a separate location the killing of an unidentified man with heavy gunfire audible in the background. The US military has not responded to repeated requests for information.
Parliament's first meeting coincided with the anniversary of a poison gas attack by Saddam Hussein's army on the northern city of Halabja 18 years ago. Nearly 2,000 Kurdish demonstrators, angry over what they see as the regional government's failure to rebuild the area, went on a rampage Thursday and badly damaged a monument to the 5,000 residents killed. Police fired live ammunition into the air, killing one person and wounding at least eight.
Saddam ordered the poison gas attack as part of a scorched-earth campaign to crush a Kurdish rebellion in northern Iraq. Current President Jalal Talabani, a former Kurdish guerrilla leader, said Thursday, "the Halabja anniversary inspires us to continue our struggle against dictatorship."
South of Samarra on Wednesday, a US airstrike killed 11 people — most of them women and children, said police and relatives of the victims. The US military said it captured the target of the raid, a man suspected of supporting foreign fighters of the al-Qaida in Iraq terror network.
But the military said it could only account for four people killed — a man, two women and a child. "That doesn't meant that we dispute 11," said Maj. Tim Keefe, a military spokesman.
He said the suspect was captured as he fled the house, but US troops were taking fire from the building and called in an airstrike. He did not specify whether the strike near Balad, 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, involved warplanes or gunships.
AP photographs showed the bodies of two men, five children and four other blanketed figures arriving at a hospital in nearby Tikrit, accompanied by grief-stricken relatives. | fr | Carte de l'Irak

Authorities ‘deeply shocked’ by murder
Nurmemet Abidilimit and Gheni Hesen, the two suspects who were involved in the murder of Jume Tahir, imam of Id Kah Mosque, in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, were sentenced to death on Sunday, the local court said.
A separate suspect, Atawulla Tursun, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The verdict was released by the Intermediate People's Court of Kashgar on Sunday.
The court said that Gheni Hesen had recruited the other people to join his terror group and planned the attack on the imam.
Atawulla Tursun and Nurmemet Abidilimit were said to have prepared the weapons and gathered information.
Tahir, 74, was killed by three terrorists at around 7 am on July 30 after he finished the morning prayer service.
Two terrorists, Turghun Tursun and Memetjan Remutillan, were shot dead by police during the pursuit and a separate terrorist, Abidilimit, was captured.
China Central Television reported that it was Abidilimit's confession that led to the arrest of the other suspects involved in the murder.
Previous media reports said the suspects had been influenced by religious extremism and intended to do "something big" to raise their reputations as terrorists.
Tahir's murder came two days after a deadly terror attack broke out in Shache county in Kashgar prefecture.
The attack left 37 civilians dead and 94 injured. During the attack, police shot dead 59 terrorists and arrested another 215.
Seventeen officials and police officers have received penalties for being accountable for the murder and a deadly attack.
The State Administration for Religious Affairs said previously it was "deeply shocked" by the murder and described Tahir's death as a "huge loss" for the country's Islamic circle.
Tahir was not the first religious leader targeted by extremists.
In 1996, Tahir's predecessor at the same mosque was attacked by two masked extremists on his way to the mosque. The imam survived being stabbed 21 times. The attackers admitted to being members of a terror group. | de | Die Id Kah Moschee in Kashgar

en | It might be a place that only a lichen or pond scum could love, but astronomers said Wednesday that they had found a very distant planet capable of harboring water on its surface, thus potentially making it a home for plant or animal life.
Nobody from Earth will be visiting anytime soon: The planet, which goes by the bumpy name of Gliese 581g, is orbiting a star about 20 light-years away in the constellation Libra.
But if the finding is confirmed by other astronomers, the planet, which has three to four times the mass of Earth, would be the most Earthlike planet yet discovered, and the first to meet the criteria for being potentially habitable.
“It’s been a long haul,” said Steven S. Vogt of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who, along with R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, led the team that made the discovery. “This is the first exoplanet that has the right conditions for water to exist on its surface.”
In a recent report for the National Academy of Science, astronomers declared the finding of such planets one of the major goals of this decade. NASA’s Kepler satellite — which was launched in March 2009 as a way to detect Earthlike bodies — is expected to harvest dozens or hundreds.
Gliese 581g (whose first name is pronounced GLEE-za) circles a dim red star known as Gliese 581, once every 37 days, at a distance of about 14 million miles. That is smack in the middle of the so-called Goldilocks zone, where the heat from the star is neither too cold nor too hot for water to exist in liquid form on its surface.
“This is really the first Goldilocks planet,” Dr. Butler said.
Other astronomers hailed the news as another harbinger that the search for “living planets,” as Dimitar D. Sasselov of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics calls them, is on the right track.
“I’m getting goose bumps,” said Caleb Scharf of Columbia University.
But they expressed caution about this particular planet, noting uncertainties about its density, composition and atmosphere, and the need for another generation of giant telescopes and spacecraft in order to find out anything more about it. Other Goldilocks planets have come and gone in recent years.
The discovery was announced at a news conference Wednesday in Washington, and the findings have been posted on the National Science Foundation’s Web site and will be published in The Astrophysical Journal.
The authors said the relative ease by which planet was found — in only 11 years — led them to believe that such planets must be common.
“Either we have just been incredibly lucky in this early detection, or we are truly on the threshold of a second Age of Discovery,” they wrote in their paper.
Pressed during the news conference about the possibility of life on Gliese 581g, Dr. Vogt protested that he was an astronomer, not a biologist. Then he relented, saying that, speaking strictly personally, he believed that “the chances of life on this planet are almost 100 percent.”
Asked the same question, Dr. Butler squirmed and said, “I like data.” After a pause he added: “And what the data say is that the planet is the right distance from the star to have water and the right mass to hold an atmosphere. What is needed simply to find lots and lots of these things is lots and lots of telescope time.”
The latest results from Gliese 581 were harvested from observations by two often competing teams, using telescopes in Chile and Hawaii to measure the slight gravitational tugs the star gets as its planets swing by.
This is hardly the first time around the block for Gliese 581, which is a longtime favorite of planet hunters and now is known to have six planets in its retinue. It is a dwarf star about one-third the mass of the Sun and only about one-hundredth as bright, allowing planets to huddle closer to the campfire. “It hauntingly reminds us of our own solar system,” Dr. Butler said.
Two of Gliese’s planets have already had their moment in the limelight as possible Goldilocks planets. One, known as Gliese 581c, circles just on the inner edge of the habitable zone and was thus thought to be habitable three years ago. But further analysis suggested that the greenhouse effect would turn it into a stifling hell. Another planet, just on the outer edge of the Goldilocks zone, is probably too cold.
“One is on the hot side, the other is on cold side,” and the new planet is right in between, Dr. Vogt said. “It’s bookended.”
He and his colleagues estimated the average temperature on the surface of Gliese 581g to be between 10 and minus 24 degrees Fahrenheit, about the same as a summer day in Antarctica.
But that means very little, he said, because the planet, like all the others in that system, keeps the same face to the star all the time. So the temperature could vary wildly from the day-side to the night-side of the planet, meaning that an organism could perhaps find a comfortable zone to live in.
But nobody really knows what is going on on Gliese 581g, said Sara Seager, a planetary astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “If it was all carbon dioxide, like Venus, it would be pretty hot,” she said, adding that she would give the planet a 90 percent chance of holding water.
That, she pointed out, is faint praise in scientific circles. “Sounds high, but would you fly on a plane that only had an 8 or 9 chance out of 10 of making it?” she asked.
“Everyone is so primed to say here’s the next place we’re going to find life,” Dr. Seager said, “but this isn’t a good planet for follow-up.” | es | Archivo:Gliese_581_system_compared_to_solar_system.jpg|thumb|left|Las orbitas de los planetas en el sistema de la Gliese 581 comparado con los de nuestro sistema solar.
Los astronómos de la Universidad de California han descubierto un nuevo planeta que consideran que está en la mitad de la "Zona Habitable" de su estrella padre, este descubrimiento alcanza la posibilidad de descubrir vida en otro planeta. Los investigadores encontraron el planeta mientras conducían el Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey, que desde hace 11 años estudia la estrella enana Gliese 581, que se ubica a 20 años luz de la Tierra. El planeta, bautizado como Gliese 581 g, puede llegar a tener una superficie rocosa con fuerza gravitacional suficiente como para acumular una atmósfera.
Steven Vogt, de la Universidad de California, dice que el planeta tiene una fuerza gravitacional equivalente a la de la Tierra, que podría permitir caminar normalmente a los humanos sobre su superficie aunque no todavía habitarlo en un futuro previsible. Además señala que es posible que haya vida en Gliese 581g y afirma que dada la ubicación y propensión a que florezca la vida siempre que pueda según su sentimiento personal las posibilidades de vida son del 100%. Solamente se espera que existan líquenes o microorganismos similares a nuestras bacterias.
Se estima que la temperatura del planeta varía de extremadamente caliente hasta extremadamente fría dependiendo de la ubicación de su estrella. La temperatura promedio puede variar de los -31 a los -12 grados Celsius.

The Sunshine Tour announced the launch of the Nelson Mandela Championship, a new professional golf tournament co-sanctioned by the European Tour at the offices of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund in Saxonwold on Tuesday morning.
The €1-million (R105.7m) 72-hole tournament will be the first event on the 2013 European Tour International Schedule and will also be the kick-off to the 2013 Race to Dubai.
The field of 156 professionals will be made up of equal numbers from both the Sunshine and European Tours and will feature some of the world’s leading and up-and-coming professional golfers.
“We are absolutely delighted to be associated with this prestigious event, which will both add significantly to our fund-raising efforts, as well as give us a worldwide platform through live television coverage to highlight our vitally important work in support of the neediest children throughout South Africa," said Acting CEO of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, Moipone Buda-Ramatlo.
“We are looking forward to welcoming some of the world’s finest golfers to our shores who will compete with our leading South African golfers in their quest to be the first to lift the trophy at the Nelson Mandela Championship.”
Executive director of the Sunshine Tour Selwyn Nathan added, “We are very honoured to have a new tournament on our Tour that is aimed at advancing the work of Mr Nelson Mandela as carried out by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
“We would like to thank the promoters and sponsors for their vision in supporting this event and look forward to being associated with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund in furthering its important aims.”
However, driven by his love for children and a desire to end their suffering, former President Mandela established the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (NMCF) in 1995.
From inception to date Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund has touched many lives of children and their families. At least R463 million has been spent in this regard.

O evento de extinção do Triássico-Jurássico que encerrou o período Triássico e iniciou o Jurássico há cerca de 200 milhões de anos foi uma das maiores extinções em massa da história do nosso planeta.
No total, estima-se que cerca de 25-34 por cento dos gêneros marinhos tenham sido extintos durante o evento, e muitos grupos terrestres tenham sido eliminados, abrindo caminho para que dinossauros e pterossauros dominassem a Terra pelos próximos 135 milhões de anos ou mais.
Porém, novas pesquisas sugerem que esse evento de extinção ocorreu mais tarde do que se pensava anteriormente e lança uma nova perspectiva sobre os fatores contribuintes.
A hipótese mais amplamente aceita do evento Triássico-Jurássico culpa enormes erupções vulcânicas pela perda de vidas que aconteceram no planeta, embora outras ideias – como colisões de asteroides e mudanças climáticas mais graduais – também tenham sido apresentadas.
Para se ter uma ideia melhor do que aconteceu, o novo estudo analisou biomarcadores fósseis moleculares de rochas do Canal de Bristol, na costa da Inglaterra, que na época fazia parte do supercontinente Pangeia.
As amostras mostraram evidências de antigos tapetes microbianos – comunidades complexas de microrganismos que preservam indicadores das condições atmosféricas da época.
As mudanças no ecossistema nessa parte específica do Reino Unido e nas bacias hidrográficas da Europa central têm sido usadas há muito tempo como um indicador do que aconteceu, com uma queda repentina no carbono orgânico-13, considerada um sinal inicial das mudanças atmosféricas que levaram a esse evento.
No entanto, descobriu-se que esse não era um indicador direto do evento do Triássico-Jurássico, dizem os cientistas – mas, em vez disso, as mudanças vieram de alterações no nível do mar e da dessalinização da água, que criaram as condições perfeitas para esses tapetes microbianos prosperarem.
Essas mudanças colocaram a composição orgânica do oceano em uma fase de transição, mas os pesquisadores mostram que foi dezenas de milhares de anos depois, durante o final do Rhaetiano, que o evento de extinção começou para valer.
“Por meio de nossa análise da assinatura química desses tapetes microbianos, além da pesquisa sobre a alteração no nível do mar e o resfriamento da coluna d’água, descobrimos que a extinção em massa do final do Triássico ocorreu mais tarde do que se pensava”, afirma o geoquímico Calum Peter Fox, pesquisador da Universidade Curtin na Austrália.
No entanto, a diminuição no nível do mar que a equipe detectou pode ter sido um sinal dos movimentos tectônicos iniciais da Terra que levariam a essas erupções futuras e ao eventual desmembramento da Pangeia.
Isso está de acordo com as descobertas de outro estudo que mostrou que a atividade magmática estava ocorrendo nessa região 100.000 anos antes da primeira erupção conhecida associada ao evento de extinção.
Ver uma retrospectiva de tantos milhões de anos é um processo difícil e desafiador, mas os registros fósseis que permanecem na Terra nos fornecem um registro inestimável de como eram as condições atmosféricas quando essas extinções em massa aconteceram.
Como acontece com a maioria dos trabalhos que examinam a história da vida e do clima em nosso planeta, as descobertas desse último estudo também podem ser usadas para basear nossa compreensão de como o clima está mudando hoje.
“Nossa pesquisa recente mostra que tapetes microbianos desempenharam funções importantes em vários eventos de extinção em massa, bem como um papel na preservação da vida restante, incluindo tecidos moles de organismos mortos em circunstâncias excepcionais”, disse o geoquímico Kliti Grice, pesquisador da Universidade Curtin.
“Saber mais sobre os níveis de dióxido de carbono presentes durante o evento de extinção em massa no final do Triássico nos fornece detalhes importantes que podem ajudar a proteger nosso meio ambiente e a saúde de nossos ecossistemas para as gerações futuras”.
A pesquisa foi publicada no PNAS. | pt | O evento de extinção Triássico-Jurássico encerrou o Triássico e começou o Jurássico há aproximadamente 200 milhões de anos, das maiores extinções em massa na história da Terra.

Durchsuchungen in vier Bundesländern
Razzia gegen rechtsextreme "Freizeitagentur"
Nach monatelangen Ermittlungen haben Polizisten in vier Bundesländern Räume von Führungspersonen der NPD-Jugendorganisation JN durchsucht. NDR-Informationen zufolge sind sie auch in der rechtsextremen "Interessengemeinschaft Fahrt und Lager" tätig. Auf Freizeitlagern soll die Organisation gezielt Kinder und Jugendliche mit rechtsradikalem Gedankengut beeinflusst haben.
Von Angelika Henkel, NDR, und Stefan Schölermann, NDR Info
Die Razzia galt Führungskadern der NPD-Nachwuchsorganisation "Junge Nationaldemokraten" (JN). Konkret richtete sich die Aktion gegen eine Gruppierung, die unter Verdacht steht, vor allem Kinder und Jugendliche in Freizeitcamps mit dem Gedankengut der Nationalsozialisten zu beeinflussen. In diesen Lagern sollen nach Angaben des LKA Niedersachsen rechtsextremistische und volksverhetzende Inhalte vermittelt werden. Ein solches Lager zum Jahreswechsel sollte durch die Durchsuchungen verhindert werden.
Da auch in diesem Fall Kinder und Jugendliche betroffen seien, spricht das LKA von einer erheblichen Jugendgefährdung. Hausdurchsuchungen gab es in Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Berlin und Niedersachsen. Nach ersten Erkenntnissen wurden Unterlagen über die Planung und Durchführung des Jahreswechsellagers sichergestellt. Die vollständige Auswertung der sichergestellten Gegenstände dauert nach Angaben des LKA an.
Monatelange Ermittlungsarbeit
Nach Informationen des NDR sammeln Sicherheitsbehörden seit Monaten intensiv Material gegen die sogenannte "IG Fahrt und Lager". Vorbild der 2008 gegründeten "Interessengemeinschaft" ist die im vergangenen Jahr von Bundesinnenminister Thomas de Maizière verbotene "Heimattreue Deutsche Jugend" (HDJ).

Rechtsextremismus mit Lagerfeuerromantik

Verbotsverfahren für "Junge Nationaldemokraten"?
Die Nähe der "IG Fahrt und Lager" zur NPD-Nachwuchsorganisation ist offenbar noch aus einem anderen Grund gewollt: Je geringer der Abstand zur NPD, desto mehr Wirkung kann das Parteienprivileg des Grundgesetzes entfalten - und desto höher wären die Hürden für ein Verbot der "IG Fahrten und Lager". Zugleich aber gehen die "Jungen Nationaldemokraten" mit der Einbindung der "IG Fahrt und Lager" ein Risiko ein: Sie könnten selbst zum Gegenstand eines eigenständigen Verbotsverfahrens werden.

Razzia gegen Rechts in vier Bundesländern Polizei geht gegen NPD-Jugendorganisation vor
Mit Hausdurchsuchungen in vier Bundesländern sind die Sicherheitsbehörden am frühen Morgen gegen ein Netzwerk von Rechtsextremisten vorgegangen. Die Aktion richtete sich gegen eine Gruppierung, die im Verdacht steht, vor allem Kinder und Jugendliche bei Freizeitcamps mit dem Gedankengut der Nationalsozialisten zu beeinflussen. Ein solches Lager zum Jahreswechsel sollte durch die Durchsuchungen verhindert werden. Die Razzia galt Führungskadern der NPD-Nachwuchsorganisation "Junge Nationaldemokraten" (JN). Das ergaben gemeinsame Recherchen von "Hallo Niedersachsen" im NDR Fernsehen und des Radioprogramms NDR Info.
In diesen Lagern sollen nach Angaben des federführenden Landeskriminalamts Niedersachsen rechtsextremistische und volksverhetzende Inhalte vermittelt werden. Dabei seien in diesem Fall auch Kinder und Jugendliche betroffen. Das LKA spricht daher von einer erheblichen Jugendgefährdung. Hausdurchsuchungen gab es in Niedersachsen, Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, und Berlin. Nach Informationen des NDR sammeln Sicherheitsbehörden seit Monaten intensiv Material gegen die sogenannte "IG Fahrt und Lager". Vorbild der 2008 gegründeten "Interessengemeinschaft" ist offenbar die im vergangenen Jahr vom Bundesinnenminister verbotene "Heimattreue Deutsche Jugend" (HDJ). In seiner vom Bundesverwaltungsgericht im Oktober bestätigten Entscheidung bescheinigt der Bundesinnenminister der HDJ eine "Wesensverwandtschaft mit dem Nationalsozialismus, insbesondere mit der früheren Hitlerjugend".
Von ähnlichem Kaliber ist offenbar die "Interessengemeinschaft Fahrt und Lager", die sich schon äußerlich auffallend ähnlicher Merkmale bedient wie die verbotene HDJ. Besonders entlarvend ist dabei nach Ansicht der Ermittler der in Kreisen der "Interessengemeinschaft" heimlich verteilte "Jahreskalender". Er trägt den Namen "Unsere Gemeinschaft". Für die Monate werden germanische Bezeichnungen verwendet wie "Hartung" (Januar) und "Nebelung" (November).

en | House narrowly approves CAFTA
Trade accord's passage a win for Bush
President Bush walks to a meeting with Rep. Dennis Hastert, Vice President Dick Cheney and U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman. Correction An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed a quotation to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. The statement "Why in the world should people stick to the path of democracy if supposedly the richest, most generous democracy in the world rejects a trade agreement with these countries?" was made by Rep. Bill Thomas, R-California. RELATED YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Central America International Trade or or Create Your Own
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- After an all-day, full-court press by the White House, the House early Thursday narrowly approved the controversial Central America Free Trade Agreement, a pact supporters say will help strengthen fledgling democracies.
The vote also helped President Bush avoid a potentially embarrassing political defeat on an issue he championed for months.
The final vote to approve the pact was 217 to 215. House leaders held the vote open for an hour -- well past the normal 15-minute voting time -- as they rounded up enough votes to win.
In the end, 25 Republicans defied their leadership, and their president, to oppose CAFTA, while two others didn't vote. Only 15 of the House's 202 Democrats broke ranks to support it.
As the House debated deep into the night, Vice President Dick Cheney, two Cabinet secretaries and the U.S. trade representative were all in the Capitol, working with GOP leaders to secure the votes of wavering Republicans.
With Democrats nearly united in opposition to CAFTA, Bush took the unusual step of coming to Capitol Hill in person Wednesday to lobby members of his own party, painting the trade pact as a national security issue.
The agreement, which passed the Senate in June, will eliminate trade barriers between the United States and five Central American countries -- Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica -- along with the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean.
Supporters said the agreement will improve the economies of those countries, increase the living standards of workers and strengthen fledgling democracies in a region awash in armed conflict 20 years ago.
"These freely elected presidents came to us and said, 'Help us,'" said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-California. "We help them by voting yes on CAFTA."
"Why in the world should people stick to the path of democracy if supposedly the most richest, most generous democracy in the world rejects a trade agreement with these countries?" Thomas asked.
Concluding the night's debate, Thomas also chided Democrats for abandoning their traditional support for free trade.
"They have urged, all night, protectionism. They have urged fear. They have urged that we don't do what's right," he said.
But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, insisted that Democrats were opposing the pact not because they oppose free trade but because they were against a flawed agreement.
"It is a step backward for workers in Central America and a job killer for here at home," she said.
"I wish that the CAFTA bill ... was an agreement that opened markets, included basic labor standards and protected our environment. This type of an agreement would have lifted the economies of both the United States and Central America. It would have attracted support from a large number of Democratic members."
While the amount of trade involved in CAFTA is small in comparison to the overall U.S. economy, the pact ran into strong opposition from organized labor, which pressed its Democratic allies to vote against it. Also, GOP lawmakers from states that produce textiles and sugar were concerned about the agreement's possible impact on their local industries.
One of those lawmakers, Rep. Walter Jones, R-North Carolina, told his colleagues that 200,000 jobs in his state have been lost since in the decade since passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and "CAFTA is NAFTA's ugly cousin."
Trying to overcome those local concerns, Bush, during his visit, "reminded us that we come here not only to represent our districts, but to represent the nation," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.
"It is in the national interest that CAFTA passes. It is good for our national security in supporting these fledgling democracies at our back door. It is good for our effort against illegal immigration. It is good for our economy," DeLay said.
But Democrats charged that CAFTA didn't do enough to protect the environment and workers' rights and would further erode America's manufacturing base.
Pelosi predicted that Bush's win on CAFTA "will be a Pyrrhic victory for him, because we will take our message to the American people that we are the ones looking out for them."
Bush's painting of CAFTA as a national security issue "clearly resonated with members of the House," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
McClellan said Bush also told the group that once trade expands and lifts people out of poverty, CAFTA will address the problem of illegal immigration into the United States because "families will be more willing to want to stay home to support their families because they'll have more opportunities at home."
DeLay, too, said he thought the national security argument might have swayed some GOP lawmakers.
"There is no question that these democratically elected governments, asking collectively to increase the economic security of those countries, could make it a national security vote if we turn our backs on them," DeLay said.
But later in the night during the final debate, Pelosi scoffed at the GOP strategy of wrapping CAFTA in the cloak of national security.
"Trade alone, devoid of basic living and working standards, has not, and will not, promote security, nor will it lift developing nations out of poverty," she said. "Our national security will not be improved by exploiting workers in Central America." | de | In einer äußerst knappen Abstimmung hat das
US-Repräsentantenhaus dem „Central American Free Trade Agreement“ (CAFTA) zugestimmt. In der Abstimmung votierten 217 Abgeordnete für das Gesetz, 215 stimmten dagegen. Hätte ein Abgeordneter mehr gegen das Freihandelsabkommen zwischen den USA und den mittelamerikanischen Ländern Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras und Nicaragua gestimmt, wäre das Abkommen im Repräsentantenhaus gescheitert.
25 republikanische Abgeordnete, mehrheitlich aus dem Mittleren Westen, aus dem Manufacturing Belt sowie aus dem Südosten der USA, wo die Textilindustrie angesiedelt ist, stimmten gegen das Abkommen. Zwei Republikaner waren bei der Abstimmung anwesend, nahmen aber nicht an der Abstimmung teil. Die Gegner des Abkommens sehen durch die Öffnung des Marktes Arbeitsplätze in den USA in Gefahr.
Alle außer 15 Abgeordneten der Demokratischen Partei stimmten gegen den Vertrag. Unabhängige Abgordnete, die sich im Normalfall dem Stimmverhalten der Demokraten anschließen, votierten ebenfalls gegen den Freihandelsvertrag.
Zu den Unterstützern des Vertrags zählen US-Präsident George W. Bush, Vizepräsident Dick Cheney und der Minister für Handel, Carlos Gutierrez. Zu den Gegnern zählt die Mehrheit der demokratischen Abgeordneten im Repräsentantenhaus. Der Vertrag wurde bereits im Juni vom Senat verabschiedet. Präsident Bush hat angekündigt den Vertrag zu unterzeichnen. |

en | MAURITANIA: New military rulers face worldwide condemnation
[ This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations]
NOUAKCHOTT, 4 Aug 2005 (IRIN) - Mauritanians woke to a new dawn on Thursday following the bloodless ousting of President Maaouya Ould Taya, with many in triumphant mood but anxious to hear more from the Military
Council for Justice and Democracy, which staged the coup but promised to stand down within two years.
In a statement carried on the state news agency, the council said it was composed of 17 members from the various branches of the armed forces, with all but one carrying the rank of colonel, and would usher in civilian rule within two years.
Named at the council's head was Col Ely Ould Mohamed Vall, who took part in the putsch that brought Ould Taya to power in 1984 and who had served at his side as the nation's security chief for almost two decades.
While hundreds of people took to the streets in the hours after the coup on Wednesday, honking car horns and shouting slogans like "Long Live the Putschists", things were calmer by Thursday and people were going about their normal business, waiting for the council's next moves.
Small crowds gathered in front of the city's prison, hopeful that rumours about a mass release of Islamic political prisoners, who had been locked away under Ould Taya, might be true.
"The new decision-makers have to quickly set the tone if they don't want to be caught out by yesterday's rulers and their allies, especially since these people have the financial clout to destabilise the country," said Minetou Mint Mohamed, a civil servant and resident in the capital, Nouakchott.
A source inside the council told IRIN on Thursday that a new constitution was expected to be drawn up by Monday at the latest.
Meanwhile, Vall moved into the presidential palace in the heart of the sand-blanketed capital, Nouakchott.
The former occupant of what locals dubbed the "Yellow Palace" was still in Niger. Ould Taya was forced to land there when news of the coup broke as he made his way back from the funeral of King Fahd in Saudi Arabia.
Worldwide condemnation
With worldwide condemnation raining down on Mauritanian's self-declared new leaders, Vall met with diplomats in Nouakchott and was also due to receive representatives from political parties and civil society, the source said.
Analysts pointed to the fact that nobody was killed during the coup and the fact that it happened during a presidential visit that had come about with short notice, as evidence of a broad agreement among the military that Taya had to go. The jubilant scenes on the streets of the capital and other cities suggested more wide-spread popular support for the ousting, they added.
But Vall can expect a frosty reception from the international community.
"The thing that everybody is faced with is that they cannot go easy [on the new leaders]. It's a question of the precedent," said Mike McGovern, the West Africa project director for the Crisis Group think-tank. "We have had Togo and Mauritania now in the last six months and we could see several other countries in the next six."
The UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the United States, former colonial power France and the European Union have all condemned the seizure of power in Mauritania.
On Thursday, the African Union said it was suspending Mauritania's membership of the 53-nation group "until the restoration of constitutional order in the country."
However, analysts say Ould Taya has few international allies and no-one really has any bargaining power over the Muslim nation that straddles Arab and black Africa.
Ould Taya cut himself off from much of sub-Saharan African, pulling out of the regional Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). He also annoyed many Arab allies by establishing diplomatic ties with Israel, turning away from Iraq and towards the United States, and cracking down on Islamists.
"The international community is not going to reverse the situation in Mauritania because no-one has significant leverage," said Olly Owen, Africa analyst at London-based research group Global Insight.
Keeping promises?
So if outside attempts to restore the constitutional order do fail, what happens next?
The military council pledged in its debut statement to create favourable conditions for democracy, which they estimate will take two years at most.
A source inside the council told IRIN on Thursday that Vall wanted the transition to happen as soon as possible.
But some opposition politicians were giving events a wary welcome.
"In this crisis situation, a regime change was inevitable. But we would have wished that this be done in a controlled democratic way with all the parties involved," Messaoud Ould Boulkheir, the president of the Popular Progressive Alliance party, was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Some analysts also expressed scepticism about the coup plotters' democratic credentials, given that many were deeply involved in a ruling elite that was generally considered repressive and they themselves now dub "totalitarian".
Also potentially complicating any handover is the fact that Mauritania is due to start producing 75,000 barrels of crude oil a day from its offshore Chinguetti field early next year, with hopes of finding more reserves onshore.
"It may be that some members of the council ... find their commitment to democracy slipping ... because the oil money is going to be a very powerful motivator," Global Insight's Owen said.
"That tendency may lead to a delayed transition manipulated to allow self-succession by members of the new clique," he went on. "The best way to avert such a scenario is for the regional and international community to engage constructively with the new situation in such a way as to discourage that tendency before it emerges."

Die Afrikanische Union (AU) hat Mauretanien als Reaktion auf den Militärputsch vom 03. August aus der Organisation ausgeschlossen. Am Mittwoch hatte eine Gruppe Militärs, die sich als „Militärischer Rat für Gerechtigkeit und Demokratie“ bezeichnet, die Macht im westafrikanischen Staat übernommen und Präsident Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya abgesetzt. Beim Putsch wurde offenbar niemand verletzt oder getötet.
Vertreter der AU wollen in die Hauptstadt Mauretaniens reisen um die Anführer des Putsches über die Positionen der Organisation zu informieren. Nach den Regeln der Afrikanischen Union wird jedes Land ausgeschlossen, in dem es „verfassungswidrige Veränderungen“ gibt. Die AU fordert, dass die verfassungsgemäße Ordnung in Mauretanien wiederhergestellt wird.
Unterdessen kündigte der militärische Rat die Auflösung des Parlaments an. Die Militärregierung will die Verfassung von 1991 beibehalten, die um einen Abschnitt über den Militärischen Rat ergänzt werden soll. Die Gruppe, die das Land in den nächsten zwei Jahren regieren will, besteht aus 17 Offizieren aus unterschiedlichen Einheiten der mauretanischen Armee.
Neben der Afrikanischen Union verurteilten UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan, die USA, die ehemalige Kolonialmacht Frankreich und die Europäische Union die Machtergreifung in Mauretanien. Ein Sprecher des UN-Generalsekretärs sagte, die UNO stehe im Kontakt mit den Mitarbeitern vor Ort, um die Situation zu beobachten. |
en | Deposed President Taya has not commented on the coup
Ministers will travel to the capital, Nouakchott, to inform the coup leaders officially of the AU's position.
The new regime meanwhile announced the dissolution of parliament in a statement broadcast on state radio.
Army officers overthrew President Maaouiya Ould Sid Ahmed Taya in a bloodless revolt on Wednesday.
Their action has been condemned by the United Nations, United States and France.
On Thursday, the new regime announced it would maintain the 1991 constitution, adding it would be "supplemented by a Military Council charter".
Foreign policy
Under AU rules, a country is automatically suspended if it brings about unconstitutional changes.
The new rulers announced that the "Military Council for Justice and Democracy" would stay in power for up to two years, and would meanwhile organise free and fair elections.
They pledged to respect all international treaties and accords involving Mauritania.
The capital is calm, with people returning to work, traffic flowing and fewer soldiers on the streets than on Wednesday.
Mr Vall has met the French and US ambassadors but details of their discussions have not been made public.
The Mauritanian army said it had ended the "totalitarian regime" of President Taya.
There are no reports of any casualties during the takeover.
The airport has now reopened.
Col Vall, 55, has been director of national security since 1987 and, after playing a key role in the 1984 coup which brought Mr Taya to power, had been seen as one of the president's closest aides.
There were street celebrations in Nouakchott following the announcement on national radio.
President Taya was returning from the funeral of King Fahd in Saudi Arabia when the coup took place. He is now in Niger.
President Taya took power in a bloodless coup in December 1984 and has been re-elected three times since.
Correspondents say he later made enemies among Islamists in the country, which is an Islamic republic.
Critics accuse the government of using the US-led war on terror to crack down on Islamic opponents.
Mr Taya had also prompted widespread opposition by establishing links with Israel, making Mauritania one of only three Arab states to have done so.
Last year nearly 200 people, including former President Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidallah, were put on trial for a series of alleged coup plots. | de | Lage Mauretaniens
