en | IP/10/1140 La Commission met en place le premier réseau mondial de projets en matière de captage et de stockage du CO2 La Commission européenne a lancé aujourd'hui l'instrument de l'UE qui permet la démonstration rapide à grande échelle des technologies de captage et de stockage de CO2 (CSC). Le réseau de projets CSC est le premier réseau mondial de projets de démonstration en matière de CSC, destiné à favoriser le partage des connaissances et à aider les citoyens à mieux comprendre le rôle du CSC dans la réduction des émissions de CO2. Grâce à ce réseau, l'acquisition des connaissances gagnera en vitesse et la Commission pourra aider la technologie CSC à développer tout son potentiel sans encombre et à devenir commercialement viable. M. Günther Oettinger, commissaire européen chargé de l'énergie, a déclaré à ce sujet: «Le CSC est l'une des technologies essentielles à déployer aujourd'hui pour réaliser les réductions drastiques indispensables des émissions de dioxyde de carbone provenant du secteur de l'énergie au cours des prochaines décennies. Il s'agit d'une avancée très prometteuse pour les principaux promoteurs de projets en Europe, qui travailleront ensemble et informeront les scientifiques, le secteur de l'énergie et les citoyens des progrès réalisés. Le partage des connaissances sera crucial pour accélérer le déploiement des technologies propres en Europe et dans le monde». Les premiers projets CSC faisant partie du réseau qui ont signé un accord de partage des connaissances sont tous des projets soutenus par le programme énergétique européen pour la relance (PEER) de la Commission européenne. Un promoteur de projet ne peut bénéficier d'un financement de l'UE qu'à la condition d'en diffuser aussi largement que possible les résultats. L'objectif est de créer, en lui assurant une grande visibilité, une communauté de projets rassemblés autour d'un même but: la viabilité commerciale des technologies CSC d'ici à 2020. Pour que l'ensemble du secteur énergétique en Europe puisse bénéficier des travaux du réseau de projets CSC, un forum consultatif se réunira chaque année dans le but d'examiner les avancées et de définir les connaissances qu'il serait le plus utile de trouver dans les activités du réseau de projets CSC. La première réunion du forum consultatif a lieu aujourd'hui, sous la co-présidence de la Commission européenne et de la Plateforme des centrales électriques à combustion fossile à taux d'émission zéro (ZEP). Elle rassemble des représentants des États membres, de la ZEP, des projets de démonstration CSC, du secteur de la recherche, d'ONG et d'organisations internationales. Vous trouverez de plus amples informations sur le réseau de projets CSC sur le site web: http://www.ccsnetwork.eu/ | pt | A Comissão Europeia acaba de lançar um projecto de investigação para desenvolvimento de tecnologias de captura e armazenamento de CO2 em larga escala, o programa "CO2 capture and storage" (CSS).
Para ajudar a concretizar o potencial de captura e armazenamento de CO2 (CCS), a Comissão Europeia está a patrocinar aquela que se apresenta como a primeira rede mundial de projectos de demonstração, previstos a estarem operacionais em 2015. O objectivo desta rede é a criação de uma comunidade importante de projectos unidos no objectivo de alcançar a viabilidade da captura e armazenamento de CO2 em 2020.
O comissário europeu da energia, Günther Oettinger, afirmou aos jornalistas: "A CCS é uma das tecnologias-chave que precisamos de desenvolver hoje para fazer os cortes necessários profundos nas emissões de dióxido de carbono do sector energético nas próximas décadas. É um passo em frente muito positivo para os grandes projectos de investigação a nível europeu, para formar e partilhar informações com a comunidade científica, sector industrial e o público em geral sobre os seus mais recentes desenvolvimentos. Esta +artilha de informação será essencial para acelerar a implantação de tecnologias de energia limpa na Europa e no mundo. "
A UE tem apoiado a investigação e desenvolvimento (I&D) no CCS há mais de uma década. UE GEOCAPACITY ("Avaliação da capacidade europeia para o armazenamento geológico de dióxido de carbono), por exemplo, recebeu 1,9 milhões de euros no âmbito do "Desenvolvimento sustentável, alterações globais e ecossistemas) área temática do Sexto Programa-Quadro (FP6). O protejo concluiu que a estimativa de capacidade de armazenamento conservadora de 117 Gt (giga-tonelada) de CO2 para a Europa corresponde a 62 anos de armazenamento dos 1,9 milhões de toneladas métricas de emissões anuais a partir de fontes pontuais de grande dimensão que emitem mais de um milhão de toneladas métricas por ano. |

KINO-REBELL
Ehren-Oscar für Robert Altman
Späte Ehre für Robert Altman. Der Regisseur, der einst in der Ära des New Hollywood mit den Regeln der Filmindustrie brach - und Rebellen wie Martin Scorsese und Peter Bogdanovich den Weg ebnete, erhält in diesem Jahr den Ehren-Oscar.
Los Angeles - Sieben Mal war Altman, 80, bereits für einen Oscar nominiert, fünf Mal als Regisseur, zwei Mal als Produzent. Bekommen hat er ihn nie, eine dauerhafte Rache der Oscar-Academy an einem Filmemacher, der nie nach den Regeln spielen wollte.
AP Filmemacher Altman: Ewiger Systemgegner
So ebnete Altman mit seiner Erfahrung und seinem Renommee den Weg für mutige Regisseure wie Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich oder Terrence Malick, die sich - nach dem Vorbild der französischen Nouvelle Vague - eher als Autorenfilmer denn als Regisseure sahen. Diese so genannten "maverick directors" veränderten Hollywood innerhalb von zehn Jahren nachhaltig.
Altman blieb aktiv und drehte unterschiedlichste Filme mit durchaus wechselnder Qualität. Zu seinen bekanntesten Spätwerken gehört die Hollywood-Satire "The Player" (1992), der Episodenfilm "Short Cuts" (1993) sowie das amüsante Gesellschaftspanorama "Gosford Park" (2001). Der Vielfilmer Altman führte bei insgesamt 86 Filmen Regie, produzierte weitere 39 und schrieb für 37 Filme die Drehbücher. Oft musste er das Geld für seine unabhängig produzierten Projekte mühsam zusammenkratzen.
Nun soll ihm am 5. März bei der 78. Oscar-Verleihung doch noch die wichtigste Kinotrophäe Hollywoods verliehen werden. Altman bekommt den Ehren-Oscar für sein Lebenswerk, meldete die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Ampas) heute. Altman sei "ein Meister des Filmgeschäfts und ihm gebührt die Ehre", sagte Akademie-Präsident Sid Ganis. Mit dem Oscar werde eine Karriere gewürdigt, in der Altman die Filmkunst mehrfach neu erfunden und sowohl Filmemacher als auch Zuschauer immer wieder inspiriert habe, sagte Ganis.

NOUVEAU DRAME - Une policière municipale a été tuée et un agent de voirie grièvement blessé dans la fusillade qui a éclaté jeudi matin, au sud de Paris, à Montrouge.
• L'INFO. Une fusillade a éclaté jeudi matin, avenue Pierre Brossolette à Montrouge, au sud de Paris. Une policière a succombé à ses blessures dans la matinée. Et un agent de voirie a été grièvement blessé. Pour le moment, il est impossible d'établir un lien avec l'attentat qui a fait 12 morts mercredi au siège de Charlie Hebdo. Deux personnes sont placées en garde à vue, mais on ne sait pas s'il s'agit de l'auteur de la fusillade, qui est toujours activement recherché. Le parquet antiterroriste s'est saisi de l'affaire.

C'était "une scène de panique". Il est 7h30 quand la police municipale et la voirie interviennent sur un accident de la circulation, avenue Pierre Brossolette, à Montrouge. Vers 8 heures, ils entendent un bruit de culasse derrière eux. Là, ils aperçoivent un homme, équipé d'un gilet pare-balle, qui ouvre le feu à hauteur de tête.
C'était "une scène de panique", a relaté un habitant de la rue, Ahmed Sassi, 38 ans. Il explique avoir été réveillé par "deux détonations". Depuis la fenêtre de sa cuisine, il raconte avoir vu "un policier debout dans la rue. Un homme en habit sombre lui a tiré dessus à bout portant, tout en continuant à courir".

Une policière meurt de ses blessures. Touchée au dos et à la gorge, la jeune policière stagiaire a succombé à ses blessures. L'agent de la voirie a, lui, été grièvement blessé, mais ses jours se seraient pas en danger.
Le tireur en fuite. Le ministre de l'Intérieur, Bernard Cazeneuve qui s'est immédiatement rendu sur place (voir ci-dessous) a annoncé que l''auteur présumé, porteur d'un gilet pare-balles, d'une arme de poing et d'un fusil mitrailleur, est toujours en fuite.
• L’ENQUÊTE
Deux personnes en garde à vue. Un homme de 52 ans a été interpellé peu de temps après la fusillade, près de la station de métro Montrouge. Il a été placé en garde à vue dans la matinée. "Visiblement ce n'était pas le bon. L'homme qu'on recherche s'est enfui à bord d'une Clio qui a été retrouvée à Arcueil, dans le Val-de-Marne", a précisé une source policière. A Arcueil, le quartier a donc été un temps bouclé au niveau de la station de RER Laplace, puis le périmètre de sécurité a été levé un peu avant midi.
L'auteur de la fusillade toujours recherché. Finalement, un deuxième suspect a été interpellé plus tard dans la journée, et placé en garde à vue. "Deux personnes sont actuellement en garde à vue dans les locaux de la police judiciaire des Hauts-de-Seine. Un homme de 52 ans, interpellé ce matin, et une deuxième personne", résume ainsi une source policière. "On ne sait pas à ce stade s'il peut s'agir de l'auteur de la fusillade qui est toujours activement recherché", a-t-on ajouté.

Le parquet antiterroriste se saisit de l'affaire. "La section antiterroriste du parquet de Paris se saisit des faits commis ce jour à Montrouge au vu du contexte actuel, de l'armement lourd de l'auteur des faits et du caractère délibéré d'un acte visant les forces de l'ordre", selon un communiqué du parquet de Paris. Deux services sont en charge de cette enquête, la Sous-direction antiterroriste (SDAT) de la PJ et à la Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure (DGSI).
L'enquête en flagrance est ouverte notamment pour assassinat et tentative d'assassinat sur personne dépositaire de l'autorité publique en relation avec une entreprise terroriste, tentatives d'assassinats en relation avec une entreprise terroriste et infraction à la législation sur les armes en relation avec une entreprise terroriste.
Aucun lien établi avec la tuerie de Charlie Hebdo. Le ministre de l'Intérieur, Bernard Cazeneuve, a confirmé jeudi soir qu'il n'y avait pas de lien "à ce stade" entre la tuerie qui a fait 12 morts mercredi au siège de Charlie Hebdo et la fusillade jeudi à Montrouge.
• LES RÉACTIONS :
"Nous ne voulons plus nous faire tirer comme des lapins". "On ne peut pas défendre la population sans être armés. Soit on est armés, soit on devrait être retirés de la voie publique. Aujourd'hui, des policiers municipaux qui surveillent des synagogues ne sont pas armés. Ils sont des cibles. Le ministre de l'Intérieur doit nous recevoir d'urgence, car nous ne voulons plus nous faire tirer comme des lapins", a déclaré ce jeudi matin Cédric Michel, patron du SDPM. Le ministère de l'Intérieur va d'ailleurs recevoir le syndicat des policiers municipaux vendredi.

Selon Emmanuel Cravello, du syndicat de police Alliance, la policière intervenait vers 8 heures du matin sur un accident de la circulation sur l'avenue Pierre-Brossollette, qui relie Montrouge à Paris. Un individu est alors sorti d'un véhicule non impliqué dans l'accident et a tiré. L'homme était porteur de deux armes : une de poing et une de première catégorie.

A ce stade, cette attaque n'a pas de lien établi avec l'attentat qui a fait douze morts la veille au siège de Charlie Hebdo, selon des sources proches du dossier. Mais « un individu lourdement armé dans son véhicule à 8 heures du matin, c'est loin d'être anodin », a précisé M. Cravello.
Une équipe de la Brigade de recherche et d'intervention (BRI) était sur place et préparait une perquisition aux environs de 11 heures, selon les informations des envoyés spéciaux. Le parquet antiterroriste s'est tout de même saisi de l'affaire « au vu du contexte, de l'armement lourd de l'auteur des faits et du caractère délibéré d'un acte visant les forces de l'ordre », selon le parquet du tribunal de grande instance de Paris.

en | New Legal Challenge to Unconstitutional Domestic Spying
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies today on behalf of AT&T customers to stop the illegal, unconstitutional, and ongoing dragnet surveillance of their communications and communications records. The five individual plaintiffs are also suing President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and other individuals who ordered or participated in the warrantless domestic surveillance.
The lawsuit, Jewel v. NSA, is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it. Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by former AT&T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&T has routed copies of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA.
That same evidence is central to Hepting v. AT&T, a class-action lawsuit filed by EFF in 2006 to stop the telecom giant's participation in the illegal surveillance program. Earlier this year, Congress passed a law attempting to derail that case by unconstitutionally granting immunity to AT&T and other companies that took part in the dragnet. Hepting v. AT&T is now stalled in federal court while EFF argues with the government over whether the immunity is constitutional and applies in that case -- litigation that is likely to continue well into 2009.
"In addition to suing AT&T, we've now opened a second front in the battle to stop the NSA's illegal surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and hold personally responsible those who authorized or participated in the spying program," said Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "For years, the NSA has been engaged in a massive and massively illegal fishing expedition through AT&T's domestic networks and databases of customer records. Our goal in this new case against the government, as in our case against AT&T, is to dismantle this dragnet surveillance program as soon as possible."
In addition to suing the government agencies involved in the domestic dragnet, the lawsuit also targets the individuals responsible for creating, authorizing, and implementing the illegal program, including President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
"Demanding personal accountability from President Bush, Vice President Cheney and others responsible for the NSA's dragnet surveillance of ordinary Americans' communications is the best way to guarantee that such blatantly illegal spying will not be authorized in the future," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Our lawsuit today should sound a clear warning to future occupants of the White House: if you break the law and violate Americans' privacy, there will be consequences."

Die Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) hat am 18. September im Namen von Kunden des Telekommunikationsunternehmens AT&T eine Klage beim United States District Court for the Northern District of California gegen die National Security Agency (NSA), US-Präsident George W. Bush, Vizepräsident Dick Cheney und weitere Personen eingereicht. Die „größte Netzbürgerrechtsorganisation der USA“ (taz) fordert, dass die aus ihrer Sicht verfassungswidrige und andauernde Überwachung der Kommunikation von AT&T-Kunden im Rahmen einer Rasterfahndung beendet wird.
Laut einer EFF-Pressemitteilung sind Millionen von normalen US-amerikanischen Bürgern von den Abhöraktionen betroffen. Diejenigen, die diese Praxis autorisiert hätten, müssten sich nun dafür verantworten, so die EFF. Zur Begründung der Klage „Jewel gegen NSA“ beruft sich die Organisation unter anderem auf ein Dokument, dass ihnen Mark Klein, ein ehemaliger Techniker bei AT&T, zur Verfügung gestellt hat und das beweisen soll, dass das Unternehmen Kopien von Internet-Traffic-Aufzeichnungen in einen geheimen Raum in San Francisco weitergeleitet habe, der von der NSA kontrolliert werde. Rechtlich gesehen basiert die Klage darauf, dass Abhöraktionen ohne richterliche Genehmigung in den USA verboten sind, solange Amerikaner davon betroffen sind. Dagegen wird laut EFF seit Jahren verstoßen.
In einem ähnlichen Prozess hatte die EFF im Jahr 2006 die Beteiligung des Telekommunikationskonzerns an „illegalen Abhöraktionen“ untersagen wollen. Der Prozess war nahezu bedeutungslos geworden, nachdem der Kongress ein Gesetz verabschiedet hatte, das AT&T und anderen Unternehmen, die sich an der Rasterfahndung beteiligen, Immunität gewährt – aus Sicht der EFF eine Entscheidung, die nicht verfassungskonform ist. |

US-Spionagebehörde verklagt

Die amerikanische Netzbürgerrechtsorganisation Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) hat eine große Sammelklage gegen die US-Regierung, den Geheimdienst NSA sowie Verantwortliche in der Leitungsebene von Behörden angestrengt, die für eine großangelegte Abhöraktion auf amerikanische Internet-Nutzer verantwortlich sein sollen. "Seit Jahren spioniert die NSA massiv in den örtlichen Netzen des Telekommunikationsanbieters AT&T;, geht dort auf Fischzüge", heißt es in einem Statement der EFF, "unsere Klage soll diesem Datenschleppnetz endlich ein Ende bereiten".
So genannte "Wireless Wiretaps", Abhöraktionen, die ohne richterliche Genehmigung durchgeführt werden, sind in den USA verboten, so lange sie sich auf Amerikaner beziehen. Dagegen verstoßen Geheimdienste laut EFF seit mehreren Jahren. So würden Millionen von Telefonaten und E-Mails mitgeschnitten. Dies widerspreche dem Recht auf Privatsphäre, das in der US-Verfassung verankert sei. Die EFF klagt im Auftrag mehrerer Kunden des Telekommunikationsanbieters.
Ein ehemaliger AT&T-Mitarbeiter; hatte den Skandal 2006 ins Rollen gebracht. Mark Klein, Telekommunikationstechniker in Kalifornien und über 22 Jahre bei dem Unternehmen beschäftigt, war bei technischen Arbeiten Abhörequipment in großem Stil aufgefallen. So hatte die Spionagebehörde NSA offenbar Zugriff auf einen ganzen Raum in einer Weiterleitungsstation in San Francisco, von der aus der gesamte dortige Internet-Datenverkehr des Providers potenziell "abgezweigt" werden konnte. Dazu gab es laut Klein einen so genannten Splitter, über den optische Kabel angezapft werden konnten.
Die Daten flossen dann an die NSA, die ihre eigenen Leitungen hatte, berichtete der Techniker. Auch soll es die Möglichkeit für die Schlapphüte gegeben haben, einen direkten Zugriff auf die Telefondatenbank von AT&T; zu nutzen, um abzulesen, wer wann mit wem und wie lange gesprochen hat, meldete die Los Angeles Times bereits 2005. All das hält die EFF laut geltender Rechtslage für äußerst illegal.
AT&T; gehört zu den größten Netzbetreibern der Vereinigten Staaten, über dessen Infrastruktur auch Datenverkehr von Dritten läuft. Die EFF klagt deshalb auch gegen den Konzern: In einer 2006 im Auftrag von Kunden eingereichten Sammelklage soll AT&T; mindestens zu Schadenersatz bewegt werden. Es ist allerdings unklar, ob das Verfahren eine Chance auf Erfolg hat: Der US-Kongress winkte jüngst eine neue Gesetzgebung durch, die AT&T; und anderen großen Telekommunikationskonzernen, die mit der US-Regierung bei den illegalen Abhöraktionen zusammenarbeiteten, Immunität geben könnte.
Die EFF wirft dem Unternehmen vor, ein willfähriger Helfer der US-Regierung bei den Abhöraktionen gewesen zu sein. AT&T; hat sich zu den Vorwürfen bislang nicht geäußert.
"Neben der Klage gegen AT&T; eröffnen wir deshalb nun eine zweite Front, um die illegalen Lauschaktionen der NSA auf Millionen ganz normale Amerikaner zu stoppen", meint Kevin Bankston, Justiziar der EFF. Es sei insbesondere wichtig, die Hintermänner der Aktion zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Aus diesem Grund wurden auch Präsident Bush, Vizepräsident Cheney, dessen Büroleiter David Addington sowie der ehemalige Justizminister Alberto Gonzales in die Klage mit einbezogen. Sie hätten die illegale Lauschaktion offiziell genehmigt, so Bankston. "Es geht um die persönliche Verantwortung, die Bush Cheney und andere für diese Rasterüberwachung der Kommunikation der Amerikaner tragen", so EFF-Direktorin Cindy Cohn.
Die EFF ist keineswegs eine Gemeinschaft von Wenigen: Sie ist die größte Netzbürgerrechtsorganisation der USA und legt sich regelmäßig mit der Medienindustrie, Telekommunikationsunternehmen und anderen Institutionen an, die ihrer Meinung nach die Freiheit im Netz beschränken oder Nutzern Unrecht tun. "Unsere Klage soll auch eine Warnung an jeden künftigen Bewohner des Weißen Hauses sein: Wenn er das Gesetz bricht und die Privatsphäre der Amerikaner verletzt, wird das für ihn Konsequenzen haben", so Cohn. | de | Hauptquartier der NSA in Fort Meade, Maryland

September im Namen von Kunden des Telekommunikationsunternehmens AT&T eine Klage beim United States District Court for the Northern District of California gegen die National Security Agency (NSA), US-Präsident George W. Bush, Vizepräsident Dick Cheney und weitere Personen eingereicht. Die „größte Netzbürgerrechtsorganisation der USA“ (taz) fordert, dass die aus ihrer Sicht verfassungswidrige und andauernde Überwachung der Kommunikation von AT&T-Kunden im Rahmen einer Rasterfahndung beendet wird.
Laut einer EFF-Pressemitteilung sind Millionen von normalen US-amerikanischen Bürgern von den Abhöraktionen betroffen. Diejenigen, die diese Praxis autorisiert hätten, müssten sich nun dafür verantworten, so die EFF. Zur Begründung der Klage „Jewel gegen NSA“ beruft sich die Organisation unter anderem auf ein Dokument, dass ihnen Mark Klein, ein ehemaliger Techniker bei AT&T, zur Verfügung gestellt hat und das beweisen soll, dass das Unternehmen Kopien von Internet-Traffic-Aufzeichnungen in einen geheimen Raum in San Francisco weitergeleitet habe, der von der NSA kontrolliert werde. Rechtlich gesehen basiert die Klage darauf, dass Abhöraktionen ohne richterliche Genehmigung in den USA verboten sind, solange Amerikaner davon betroffen sind. Dagegen wird laut EFF seit Jahren verstoßen.
In einem ähnlichen Prozess hatte die EFF im Jahr 2006 die Beteiligung des Telekommunikationskonzerns an „illegalen Abhöraktionen“ untersagen wollen. Der Prozess war nahezu bedeutungslos geworden, nachdem der Kongress ein Gesetz verabschiedet hatte, das AT&T und anderen Unternehmen, die sich an der Rasterfahndung beteiligen, Immunität gewährt – aus Sicht der EFF eine Entscheidung, die nicht verfassungskonform ist. |

Une rame d'essai du TGV Est a déraillé samedi en début d'après-midi à Eckwersheim, une commune située au nord de Strasbourg, faisant 10 morts et 32 blessés, dont 12 en « urgence vitale », a annoncé la gendarmerie.
Sur les 49 personnes qui devaient se trouver à bord, selon la SNCF, cinq étaient encore portées manquantes en fin de journée.
« Je ne suis pas capable de vous dire s'il s'agit de cinq disparus ou de cinq personnes qui ne sont pas montées dans le train », a précisé à la presse le général Stéphane Ottavi, commandant de la Légion de gendarmerie d'Alsace.
La ministre de l'Écologie, Ségolène Royal, et son secrétaire d'État aux transports, Alain Vidalies, se sont rendus sur les lieux dans la soirée.
« C'est un drame pour la SNCF, c'est un drame pour les cheminots », a dit Ségolène Royal lors d'un point de presse. Elle a qualifié la scène « d'apocalyptique ».
La ministre a précisé qu'outre les cheminots, il y avait également à bord du train, en ce samedi, « un certain nombre d'invités » et des membres de leurs familles.
L'accident serait dû à un excès de vitesse, sans qu'on en connaisse la cause, a indiqué la préfecture. Un sabotage est a priori exclu, a indiqué Ségolène Royal.
La rame effectuait un test de vitesse entre Saverne et Strasbourg sur la ligne à grande vitesse de la deuxième phase du TGV Est, qui doit être mise en service en avril 2016.
L'accident s'est produit peu avant la jonction de la LGV avec le réseau général, à l'approche de la gare de Strasbourg.
Les six wagons ont totalement déraillé à la sortie d'une courbe, au passage d'un pont, l'avant de la rame s'est couché dans un champ tandis que la motrice arrière tombait dans le canal de la Marne au Rhin, a constaté un photographe de Reuters.

es | No hay quinto malo, asegura la sentencia popular. Y en el caso de Cheikh Lô la máxima parece cumplirse, pues en la que será su quinta visita al festival, la organización de La Mar de Músicas ha decidido premiar al embajador del 'mbalax' en su vertiente más enraizada con su premio de honor por su carrera profesional y su aportación a la música. Un galardón sin duda merecido, pues el sensacional compositor, cantante y percusionista nacido en 1955 en Bolo Dioulassa, Burkina Faso, es uno de esos artistas esenciales que se enfrenta a su música desde el amor y la espiritualidad, olvidándose a menudo de esa cosa llamada mercado.
Antes de que Youssou N'Dour le ofreciera la posibilidad de producir su debut-álbum internacional ('Ne la thiass', 1995), Lô había grabado un disco en casete para el público local ('Doxandeme' 1990), había tocado en numerosas orquestas de Senegal, había ejercido como músico de sesión en varios discos y muchos directos y cuando algún artista importante tenía problemas con su baterista, recurría a él para sus directos en la zona. Como ocurría a menudo con Papa Wemba, de cuya banda se convirtió casi en habitual. Pero pese a tener una estupenda voz y a imprimir un ritmo adictivo a sus canciones, el nada ambicioso Cheikh no pensaba en mucho más hasta que apareció N'Dour.
El éxito internacional de su citado primer álbum puso todos los ojos sobre este espigado músico de estética colorista y timidez inevitable, quien fue invitado a participar en numerosos festivales por todo el mundo, primero como telonero del propio Youssou N'Dour y más tarde como cabeza de programa.
Desde entonces, el miembro de la comunidad Baye Fall solo ha publicado cinco álbumes más, el último de ellos un 'Balbalou' en el que retoma la senda del mejor mbalax -aunque nunca la abandonó del todo- y que demuestra que la madurez le sienta mejor que bien. Tras recibir del presidente senegalés la 'Ordre National de Merite de Leon' en 1999, ahora es La Mar de Músicas quien le honra con su máximo galardón, que recibirá previo a su actuación en el Auditorio El Batel mañana lunes y que contará con invitados de la talla de Pee Wee Ellis, Tony Allen, Flavia Coelho y Raúl Refree. Intercambiamos amables bendiciones en francés.
-Regresa a La Mar de Músicas, un evento en el que hemos podido disfrutar de su directo en varias ocasiones. ¿Qué opinión le merece el festival?
-Es un festival que me gusta mucho. Tanto la diversidad musical como el ambiente y el público han sido siempre excepcionales. La verdad es que estoy muy contento de que el festival me haya premiado este año. Es algo que guardaré siempre en mi corazón.
-Efectivamente, este año el festival de Cartagena le ha otorgado su premio de honor por su carrera profesional y su aportación a la música. ¿Qué significa este premio para usted?
-Se trata de un reconocimiento a mi carrera, por supuesto. Han sido 40 años de música, pero viniendo de La Mar de Músicas, un festival que me ha invitado tantas veces, es doblemente emocionante para mí. Quiere decir que se trata de un premio que de alguna manera se ha concedido a mi trayectoria, una trayectoria que el mismo festival ha apoyado y ayudado a que sea extensa.
-Youssou N'Dour produjo su primer disco internacional. ¿Fue importante N'Dour en su carrera? ¿Mantienen una buena relación en la actualidad?
-Sí, por supuesto. Nos respetamos mucho. Él es una personalidad muy importante en Senegal, alguien que ha hecho política y que se ha involucrado en otros negocios. Sin embargo, de aquí en adelante, de Cheikh Lô solo queda el músico.
-No cuesta intuir que es usted una persona bastante espiritual. ¿Qué nos aporta la espiritualidad?
-La espiritualidad es la forma de vivir y canalizar la pasión. Soy un Baye Fall, seguimos a nuestros guías espirituales que con su palabra nos indican un camino de amor y generosidad. Son sus palabras, transformadas en emociones y paz, las que me conforman como ser humano.
-La comunidad Baye Fall. ¿Por qué es tan importante para usted?
-Es una hermandad que, sobre todo, se basa en el respeto y la paz. Y es importante ya que, gracias a los Baye Fall, he tenido la oportunidad de conocer mejor la naturaleza del ser humano. Observar sus defectos, pero también una gran puerta para la esperanza y la creencia de que es posible un mundo mejor.
-¿Cree en el panafricanismo? ¿Es posible entender África como una única nación?
-Sí, creo en una África unida, de alianza y cooperación, y una gran comunidad como la de Thomas Sankara [Nota: conocido como el Che Guevara africano, Sankara fue un revolucionario panafricanista además de presidente de Burkina Faso, el país de nacimiento de Cheikh Lô, entre 1983 y 1987]. La gente humilde cree en la unidad y en la importancia de ayudarse unos a otros.
-'Balbalou', su último álbum, me parece un disco muy notable, con un inicio ('Bamba', 'Degg Gui', 'Doyal Naniou') estupendo. ¿Se podría considerar de algún modo como el retorno de Cheikh Lô al 'mbalax'?
-El 'mbalax' siempre ha estado presente en la base de mi música. Es un disco que grabé con la Ndiguel Band, la banda con la que actúo casi todas las semanas en Senegal. Así que, claro está, se trata de un disco africano con influencias puras. Posteriormente, el nuevo productor Andreas Unge supo encontrar el equilibrio entre la tradición y la modernidad. Estoy muy contento con el sonido del disco. A todo el mundo en Senegal le ha encantado.
-No es un músico muy prolífico. Nuevo disco cada cinco años, más o menos. ¿No le interesa llevar un ritmo más acorde con el mercado? ¿No cree que esto le pueda resultar perjudicial?
-Exactamente. Nunca he sido un artista sometido a las normas del mercado. Yo tengo la necesidad de hacer que las canciones crezcan y, una vez he hecho un disco, que cada canción llegue a los conciertos en forma de mensaje. Debe llegar al público y realizar con él una especie de intercambio. Y, bueno, eso lleva tiempo. | es | Momento de la actuación en La Mar de Músicas.
El músico senegalés Cheikh Lô ha recibido el premio especial del festival La Mar de Músicas de en su vigésimosegunda edición. Este reconocimiento ha correspondido en años anteriores artistas de la talla de Gino Paoli (Italia), Susana Baca (Perú) y Omara Portuando (Cuba). Recientemente el músico ha sido reconocido también con el “Prix du Meilleur Artiste Folk au Sénégal” y el “WOMEX Artist Award”.
El festival de La Mar de Músicas es ya un veterano referente del género de la World Music, durante estos más de veinte años ha impulsado el conocimiento por el gran público de artistas del "sur global". Cheikh Lô es precisamente uno de los artistas vinculados al festival desde sus primeras ediciones. Este año será su quinta actuación en Cartagena. Los organizadores destacan del artista sus canciones "llenas de sentimiento, musicalidad y compromiso social".
Dúo a las guitarras con Raúl Refree.
El concierto que ofreció el artista el pasado 18 de julio en la sede de El Batel, el único de este verano en España, ha contado con la participación de un variado grupo de artistas invitados que han acompañado a Cheikh Lô en su celebración del galardón recibido: el saxofonista Pee Wee Ellis, el percusionista Tony Allen, el bajista sueco Andreas Unge, el guitarrista Raúl Refree y la cantante brasileña Flavia Coelho. Junto su banda N´Diguel Band han ofrecido un espectáculo cargado de afecto mutuo y pasión por la música. En la entrega del premio el artista ha aprovechado para "clamar contra la injusticia, el terrorismo y el hambre". |

pt | Coluna SIMPI – Sustentabilidade – responsabilidade de todos
Sustentabilidade – responsabilidade de todos
O conceito de sustentabilidade vem da ideia do desenvolvimento sustentável, um processo irreversível iniciado na década de 80, a partir do relatório das Nações Unidas que mapeou o desenvolvimento de empresas e países. “Chegou-se à conclusão de que estávamos utilizando muito mais recursos do que dispomos. Em outras palavras, é como se estivéssemos explorando vários planetas quando temos apenas um”, explica Monica Kruglianskas, coordenadora de Sustentabilidade da Fundação Instituto de Administração (FIA), em entrevista ao programa “A Hora e a Vez da Pequena Empresa”.
Assim, teve início um movimento para que as empresas, grandes responsáveis pela utilização de recursos naturais, por vezes não renováveis, possam se desenvolver sem destruir. O objetivo é permitir às próximas gerações as mesmas oportunidades quando chegar a vez deles, explica Monica. “A sustentabilidade corporativa vem da necessidade de criar modelos de negócios mais adequados para empresas de todos os setores e tamanhos”.
Segundo a especialista, organizações fora deste movimento podem ser classificadas no conceito de externalidade: quando a produção e o lucro geram impacto negativo no ambiente ou na saúde das pessoas, mas a empresa não arca com esse custo, que acaba ficando para a sociedade, governos e sistemas públicos.
No mundo todo, governos estão se atualizando, punindo empresas irresponsáveis e aplicando impostos altos para forçar a mudança. Também a sociedade está se conscientizando e investidores já cobram das empresas para que ajam de forma responsável. “Questões como estas se convertem em licenças para operar, ou seja, se a empresa não se atualizar, estará fora do mercado. Para a especialista, os pequenos empresários levam vantagem: sustentabilidade requer inovação de processos, o que pode acontecer de maneira muito rápida em negócios menores. “É comum grandes empresas buscarem parceiros inovadores nas micro e pequenas”, conclui.

Declaração anual do MEI já começou
O período para a entrega da declaração anual já começou. Caso o MEI não faça a declaração no período regular, ficará sujeito a uma multa por atraso no envio da declaração, que será expedida pela Receita Federal. O empreendedor também deve examinar se, no ano de 2020, ultrapassou o seu faturamento em até 20%, para transmitir a Declaração Anual do MEI em janeiro e recolher o valor da multa do excedente, gerada na transmissão da declaração, além de proceder com a migração para microempresa e evitar recolhimentos retroativos. O prazo para o enquadramento vai até o dia 29 de janeiro. Se tem dificuldades em fazer sua declaração, procure o SIMPI, lá faz para você.
Consequências da pandemia para empresas do Simples
Todo final de ano, a Receita Federal faz uma auditoria para identificar empresas do Simples Nacional com débitos tributários. Os inadimplentes são orientados a regularizar até 31 do mês de janeiro seguinte, sob pena de exclusão. Excepcionalmente, neste início de 2021 isso não ocorrerá em razão da pandemia, informa o advogado Piraci Oliveira. “Entretanto, caso tenha havido distribuição de lucro em 2020, existindo débito tributário, a penalidade é de até 50% do lucro distribuído, limitado ao saldo da dívida apontada” alerta o advogado.
Retomada, inflação e taxa de câmbio
Na avaliação de Ricardo Rocha, professor de Finanças do Insper, a retomada da economia está em curso. “Se o governo fizer um acerto no Congresso para o ajuste fiscal e as vacinas se mostrarem seguras, voltaremos a crescer. A economia chinesa, que é um termômetro mundial, já está voltando”. Para ele a inflação pode ser um problema, pois, em função da pandemia, muitas atividades empresariais foram reduzidas e estoques zerados. “Em casos de retomada muito rápida, há sempre a tentativa de recuperação de preços. Portanto, muita cautela às empresas: controle seu estoque e diversifique fornecedores”, aconselha. Otimista, ele afirma que, se houver recuperação, teremos boa surpresa com a taxa de câmbio. | pt | Blairo Maggi em 2003.

Bangkok on high alert for violence
13,000 soldiers, police to be deployed in areas considered to be flashpoints; Democrats, TRT deny mobilising supporters
Security will be tightened in areas likely to be flashpoints for violence ahead of tomorrow's landmark rulings of the Constitution Tribunal on the electoral fraud cases against the country's two largest political parties. A 13,000-strong combined force of police and soldiers will be deployed to maintain order and prevent violence, Council for National Security chairman General Sonthi Boonyaratglin said. He was speaking after a meeting of officials in preparation for judgement day. There has been concern that supporters of the rival parties are likely to gather in great numbers in the capital and could cause trouble if they find the rulings disappointing. From this afternoon, police will seal off the Constitution Tribunal building and search its compound to ensure no explosive devices have been planted, Police Lt-General Adisorn Nonsee, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, said. He said the police would also secure nearby bridges tomorrow, when the tribunal is scheduled to read its verdicts on the separate cases against the Democrat and Thai Rak Thai parties, as well as three smaller political parties. Police will work with military officers and city officials to prevent any violent incidents, Police General Vichien Pojphosri, a senior police commander in charge of security, said. Hundreds of police officers will be stationed at Sanam Luang and the Royal Plaza, where Thai Rak Thai supporters are expected to gather, and at the headquarters of both the Democrat and Thai Rak Thai parties. Authorities have been on alert after receiving intelligence that party supporters from the provinces are travelling to the capital. However, the Democrat and Thai Rak Thai parties have dismissed reports that they are mobilising their supporters. Thai Rak Thai's caretaker leader Chaturon Chaisang yesterday accused the junta of spreading rumours to paint a bad image of the "old power clique" of which the party was a part. The use of a backup military force, comprising another 43 companies from Bangkok-based Army units, if needed, would be "decisive" and "lawful", Army commander General Sonthi said yesterday. Sonthi said he gave direct orders during yesterday's meeting with unit commanders that all soldiers participating in all security operations "must be unarmed" and would not be positioned in areas involving direct confrontations with protesters. The 13,000-strong force comprises soldiers from 29 companies, Bangkok-based policemen and municipal policemen. Its main duty is to guard against possible violent incidents between supporters of Democrat and Thai Rak Thai parties, or anti-junta activists and the soldiers themselves. Police will concentrate their efforts on curbing anti-junta movements that could be supported by taxi motorcyclists and taxi drivers. A police intelligence report warned that the groups, referred to as "mobs in red shirts", might operate across the capital to create disorder if the verdicts dissolve any of the parties, or both. Bangkok police chief Pol Lt-General Adisorn Nonsee said all 88 police stations had been observing the group's ongoing movements and their expected activities in the next few days. Checkpoints will be set up on major city streets to intercept their vehicles or make arrests in case the group members showed signs of disobedience. Elephants will also be barred from entering Bangkok at this time. A bomb threat was received on telephone at the Thai Rak Thai Party's former headquarters on New Phetchaburi Road yesterday morning. The caller said explosives would be set off but did not specify at which TRT office the attack would take place. The official who received the call at 10am then telephoned the party's new headquarters at Navasorn Building on Rama 3 Road. Security officials and two sniffer dogs were called in to search the building but found nothing suspicious. Meanwhile, Chaturon has called a meeting of party members to ensure there are no disturbances tomorrow when the Constitution Tribunal rules on the party's possible dissolution. Chaturon is worried that if there is any disorder following the ruling, or if ill-intentioned people disguise themselves as Thai Rak Thai Party supporters and create disturbances, the Council for National Security may blame the party for any turmoil. The party plans to send a few members to hear the verdict but Chaturon has instructed all other party members and supporters not to go to the tribunal but to hear the verdict at the party's headquarters. TRT has also asked the police to deploy 200 officers at its headquarters tomorrow to maintain security. Areas where trouble could possibly erupt Sanam Luang: Tomorrow, when the Saturday People Against Dictatorship plans an anti-coup rally. Popular Jatukam Ramathep amulets will be given away to gatherers. The Royal Plaza: Thursday, when PTV plans a rally at a nearby location. Headquarters of the two main parties involved: the Democrats, off Rama VI Road, and Thai Rak Thai at the Navasorn Building on Rama III Road.

Bombs 'like those in Bangkok'
Blasts created a lot of noise but not much physical damage, police say
The latest spate of bombs in Hat Yai will certainly shove this southern commercial centre further towards a crisis and prolong its attempt to regain its status as a popular destination for Malaysian and other tourists. This culturally rich town where Malay, Chinese and English languages are spoken, has never been the same since it was rocked by bombings in April 2005 and September last year. But unlike previously, Thailand's top security officials have refrained from speculating that insurgents from the deep South were behind the attacks on Sunday night. This differs greatly from before, when police were quick to point the finger at a group of zealous militants for a string of high profile attacks, including the April 2005 Hat Yai Airport bombing, and the blitz in Yala three months after. Police named Faisal Haji Isma-ae and Abdul Kamae Saleh as the heads of this militant cell. Because of the choice of targets and the scale of the damage, authorities said the 2006 Hat Yai attacks had crossed a new threshold. The six simultaneous bomb blasts killed four and injured about 70 people in crowded areas popular among local and foreign visitors. The implications went far beyond the Muslim-majority South, where the ongoing violence has claimed more than 2,200 lives since January 2004. Some speculated that the 2006 "hit" was a sign of things to come: militants would target high-profile places to create the greatest possible psychological impact, now that they had struck in Hat Yai. History has shown that successful attacks usually lead to bigger, more lethal dramas. But the seven bombs last Sunday didn't seem to fall in that pattern. However, this could well be a simple exercise in tactics. Hat Yai streets were more or less emptied of Malaysian tourists, who were well on their way back home when the bombs went off. Moreover, none of the bombs had shrapnel and all appeared to have been small and quickly assembled. Authorities said Sunday night's bombs were similar to those in Bangkok recently: lots of noise and political headaches, but not much physical damage. With or without the insurgency in the far South, history has shown that Hat Yai, like many other border towns, has long been a battleground for influential figures fighting over control of illicit activities. Given the fact that Hat Yai is not far from the boundaries of the troubled region - about 100km north of Pattani and about 50km east of Saba Yoi district, where another fatal bomb was detonated at a fresh market yesterday - it is understandably tempting to link any disturbances to the ongoing insurgency. Coming up with a convincing answer as to how the mess in Hat Yai can be understood will be just as difficult in finding the culprits behind these attacks, who not only inflict death and injuries, but also cripple the local economy.

en | Sunday's blasts in Hat Yai deal further blow to Thai tourism
The series of explosions in Hat Yai on Sunday has had an immediate effect on tourism. Travellers from Singapore and Malaysia have cancelled trips, while those from Australia and the Middle East are considering postponing.
There are calls for government assistance to boost local and foreign investor confidence and that of consumers. State agencies and other organisations yesterday agreed the attacks would hit tourism but expect a limited overall economic affect. Bank of Thailand Governor Tarisa Watanagase admitted confidence in the South has been low for some time, but the bombs aggravate the psychological effects. Her deputy Atchana Waiquamdee said the bombs worsened fragile confidence and would dampen tourism in the region, which had started to recover at the beginning of the year. She expected a similar impact on the industry to that felt after the 2005 Hat Yai International Airport bombing. Trade will remain sluggish, as usual, she said. Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) president Apichart Sankay said hotels, restaurants and entertainment businesses in Hat Yai would see a slow down. Many of the centre's visitors are from Singapore and Malaysia and have already cancelled bookings weeks ahead. Moreover, many arrivals cut short visits and are returning home, he said. Singapore and Malaysia are the region's biggest markets and often make weekend visits to enjoy entertainment. According to Apichart, the number of local meetings and conferences in Hat Yai had gradually declined as a result of political uncertainty in the South. "Hat Yai has been in its low season for months. Average hotel occupancy is below 40 per cent. These explosions will reduce that," Apichart said. He added seasonal tourists - particularly from Australia and the Middle East - worry about the blasts. Many are taking a wait-and-see approach and others will cancel trips. "So far, ATTA has not received any cancellations from overseas,'' Apichart said. ATTA reported it was business as usual at tourist destinations such as Phuket, Samui and Krabi. Arrivals are increasing. Hat Yai and Songkhla Hotels Association president Somchart Pimthanapoonporn said the explosions would damage tourism in the long term. "It's just the next morning and the tourists are gone. I believe the business will be hit hard in the long term, too," Somchart asserted. Hotel occupancy is less than 20 per cent and the blasts could chop that by 5 per cent, he said. Hat Yai hotels have increased security measures. Thai Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade chairman Pramon Sutivong noted the blasts could hamper economic growth in the South. The chamber's chairman in charge of deep-South economic development Somkiat Anuras said Songkhla wanted its 12 districts not in the government's special economic zone to be included. The chamber will ask the government to provide more soft loans to hotels and manufacturers. The chamber wants to meet with Deputy Prime Minister Kosit Panpiemras to discuss South worries. The chamber and 107 associations will demand measures to boost consumer confidence "because the economy relies on sentiment". Federation of Thai Industries chairman Santi Vilassakdanont said the bombs would definitely affect tourism and other economic sectors. "People in the area want government confidence boosters for life safety and asset security rather than tax incentives for investment," he said. He suggested the government speeded installation of closed-circuit television cameras at Hat Yai and enforced regulations such as banning motorcycle pillion passengers. Deputy Industry Minister Piyabutr Cholvijarn believed the blasts would not affect the overall investment picture. Foreign investors usually adopt a long-term plan, he said. More worrying for them is labour skills, government policy and investment support. In the first four months of this year, the Board of Investment received applications for tax breaks for Bt200 billion in projects. Machinery imports totalled Bt120 billion. Piyabutr said throughout the year the combined value of all applications would reach Bt500 billion.

en | PHUKET, Aug 5 (TNA) --- Thailand is stepping up measures to prevent illegal workers entering the country from neighbouring countries.
The immigration police and border patrol soldiers will work jointly to block their entry into the country, the chief of the Immigration Police, Lt. Gen. Charnvuth Vajarabhuk told TNA.
Immigrant officials will be stationed at checkpoints on all cross-border routes, he said.
The national crack down on illegal workers started on 1st August.
Immigrants working in Thailand without permission were ordered to register with the local authorities during July.
The government has warned foreign workers that if they failed to register they faced arrest and deportation.
More than a million illegal workers registered with the authorities in July.
So far, only a few non-registered workers have been arrested, Lt. Gen Charnvuth said.
However, the police will continue their sweep against illegal immigrants.
The operation is part of the Thai governments attempt to effectively manage the number of foreign labourers in the country. (TNA)--E112 | en | Four people were killed and about two dozen injured in a bombing at a crowded market in Saba Yoi, Songkhla Province, Thailand.

en | BANGKOK, Aug 5 (TNA) Thailand is to study the feasibility of producing and exporting longan ice cream.
The idea has been proposed to help the countrys farmers because of the oversupply of longan on the domestic market.
Under the proposed plan, dehydrated longans would be used as the main ingredient in the dessert.
Longan ice cream would then be exported through Thai restaurants abroad, a senior Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry official Banpot Hongthong, told TNA yesterday.
There are more than 5,000 Thai restaurants around the world.
The government expects there will be a major oversupply of longans on the domestic market over the next two weeks because recent heavy rain has forced farmers to harvest early.
This will also affect the governments plan to subsidise the process of longan dehydration, as there will be more fresh longans available than can be processed before they rot.
The Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry has increased the cold storage space to keep 30,000 tonnes of fresh longans until they can be put through the dehydration process.
So far, 11,000 tonnes of longans have been put into the governments cold storage.
The government is studying the prospects of Thai longan production over in the next three years.
The report is expected to be finished by the end of this month.
Although the domestic market is unlikely to increase, Thailand believes the prospects for the export of longan remains good.
Experts believe the Chinese demand for Thai longans is likely to increase.
China is currently Thailands largest customer.
But the government hopes to promote longan exports to Indonesia, Australia, Canada and Europe. (TNA)-E113 | en | Four people were killed and about two dozen injured in a bombing at a crowded market in Saba Yoi, Songkhla Province, Thailand.

en | Thai police search for culprits after bombs wound 13
HAT YAI, Thailand : Thai police on Monday began scouring security camera footage to find out who was behind a string of seven bomb blasts that wounded 13 people in a southern tourist town overnight.
The small bombs hit hotels, shops and restaurants across Hat Yai, the main tourist hub in a southern region beset by separatist violence that has killed more than 2,200 people since January 2004.
Police Lieutenant General Jetanakorn Napeephat, chief of police in lower southern Thailand, refused to speculate on whether the bombs, which went off late Sunday, were planted by separatist rebels.
"We have to investigate first ... we are starting by checking the CCTV (closed-circuit television) in town," he told AFP, adding that the bombs were mostly hidden in garbage bags and flower pots away from crowded areas.
The blasts occurred just days ahead of a crucial court decision affecting the future of Thailand's two main political parties.
Junta chief General Sonthi Boonyaratglin told Thai television shortly after the blasts that the attackers wanted to create a disturbance rather than cause destruction, and urged people not to panic.
One person remains seriously hurt after the explosions, which came as Hat Yai, 933 kilometres (580 miles) south of the capital Bangkok, was struggling to recover after bombings that killed four people, including a foreign tourist, last year.
Those attacks were widely blamed on militants who are fighting for a separate state in the Muslim-majority region bordering Malaysia.
The separatist unrest has generally occurred in the provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, where both Muslims and Buddhists are being killed in almost daily shootings, arson attacks and bombings.
But the violence has begun to spread into Hat Yai, which is in Songkhla province, bordering Yala and Pattani.
In April 2005, Hat Yai's airport was bombed, killing two people and denting tourism in a town particularly popular with Malaysians and Singaporeans.
A series of small bombs also hit Bangkok following a coup in Thailand last September, with the largest attack on December 31 killing three and wounding more than 40.
Authorities were quick to deny any links to the southern insurgency, and so far no one has been charged in connection with the attacks.
The motives for the New Year's Eve bombs and three similar attacks in the capital since then remain unclear.

es | A partir de nanotecnología, investigadores cordobeses desarrollaron un nuevo proceso, para suministrar una droga contra el cáncer de mama, que resuelve dos problemas de los tratamientos oncológicos actuales: minimiza los efectos tóxicos y mejora la efectividad de la terapia al transportar el agente activo directamente al tumor.
La innovación, aún en etapa experimental, fue llevada a cabo por científicos del Centro de Excelencia en Productos y Procesos de la Provincia (Ceprocor) y del Conicet, dirigidos por Dante Beltramo. También colaboraron profesionales de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), quienes llevaron adelante los estudios en animales, con resultados prometedores.
Por su potencial médico y económico, el hallazgo fue patentado en casi todo el mundo y licenciado esta semana a una firma argentina para encarar los estudios sucesivos, entre ellos, los ensayos en seres humanos.
La innovación consiste en haber hallado el vehículo perfecto para transportar por el torrente circulatorio una de las drogas más usadas en quimioterapia y conducirla hasta el interior del tumor, donde recién “se abre” y libera el fármaco.
El vehículo es un nanocarrier, es decir un conjunto de moléculas (micela) cuyo tamaño es casi mil veces menor a un glóbulo rojo. Cuando entra en contacto con el fármaco, casi como un “Pacman”, lo absorbe y forma una esfera con la capacidad de navegar por el torrente sanguíneo sin desarmarse hasta llegar a las células cancerosas.
“Es un compuesto natural, un lípido, que se purifica a partir de cerebro porcino y que espontáneamente se autoordena y se autoensambla”, explica Beltramo, quien trabajó en este desarrollo desde 2009 con los investigadores Ismael Bianco, Victoria Leonhard y Roxana Alasino. “La clave –considera– está en el conocimiento de cómo funcionan las moléculas y cuáles son sus características físico químicas, para poder seleccionar aquellas que hagan lo que necesitamos”.
Por qué funciona
Una de las drogas más usadas en quimioterapia se llama paclitaxel, muy usada para tratar el cáncer de mama. “Es muy efectiva, pero se trata de una molécula completamente insoluble en agua. En la presentación convencional está solubilizada en aceite de ricino y etanol. Son diluyentes tóxicos que cuando se inyectan traen muchos efectos indeseados”, comenta Beltramo.
Además, como no es soluble en agua, no circula por las arterias el tiempo necesario para llegar hasta el tumor.
“Como no es soluble, enseguida es absorbida por las paredes de las arterias y no circula, por lo que se reduce su efectividad y aumenta su toxicidad”, profundiza.
Laboratorios de todo el mundo están tratando de encontrar una mejor manera de suministrar el paclitaxel. Hace 10 años se patentó el primer nanocarrier, una estructura nanoscópica basada en albúmina (proteína del plasma sanguíneo) que con un tratamiento especial puede cargar la droga en su interior. Está aprobada con el nombre comercial Abraxane.
El desarrollo cordobés supera a esta presentación porque se genera una formulación más estable, que dura más tiempo y que es de muy fácil elaboración. El secreto está en un lípido, un ácido graso, que se purifica a partir del cerebro de cerdos.
Sin ningún tratamiento, este compuesto espontáneamente adquiere una estructura de 15 nanómetros, muy estable. “La superficie es muy soluble en agua y el centro tiene afinidad por los lípidos”, explica.
Por este último, espontáneamente captura la droga en su interior. “No necesita de ningún equipamiento o tratamiento especial para elaborarse, como ocurre con el Abraxane”, insiste el investigador.
Y agrega: “El resultado es una molécula con la superficie soluble en agua y un corazón con la droga. Eso le da estabilidad cuando circula por las arterias por hasta cinco meses. Está lista para ser inyectada”.
Todo suma
Beltramo indica que ya están terminando los estudios preclínicos en animales. “Estamos evaluando la capacidad que tiene para bloquear o disminuir las metástasis en tumores en ratas. Los resultados son los que esperábamos”, dice, y aclara que estos estudios se llevan a cabo en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la UNC.
Además, destaca la importancia del conocimiento básico sobre la biofísica de los lípidos que desarrolló Bruno Maggio, investigador de la UNC y Conicet, ya jubilado. También reconoce el aporte de Héctor Barra en el conocimiento sobre los microtúbulos, estructuras internas de las células sobre las que actúa la droga oncológica.
El desarrollo tiene mucho potencial porque además puede cargar dos drogas oncológicas e incluso un antimicótico usado en pacientes oncológicos porque tienen el sistema inmune decaído, y pueden cursar cuadros profundos de micosis.
A pesar de que hay otros desarrollos similares en camino, Beltramo asegura que su proyecto es más tentador por dos motivos: la facilidad para obtener la materia prima y el procedimiento para preparar la formulación del nanocarrier. “Los otros desarrollos tienen más complejidad, en nuestro caso es todo espontáneo”, dice. | es | Pacientes con cáncer de mama

Con la implementación de la cumplieron dos objetivos, primeramente reducir los efectos colaterales en los tratamientos y, además, lograr una mayor efectividad, ya que el fármaco se ubica directamente a la zona del con menos efectos tóxicos.

Las pruebas realizadas en el laboratorio fueron experimentadas por animales que permitieron encontrar la manera mas conveniente para la transportación de una de las drogas más usadas en la quimioterapia contra el cáncer de mama () para que la misma llegue hasta el tumor, que es donde debe liberarse.
Beltramo explicó que la droga presenta la dificultad de ser insoluble en agua, por lo que hoy se la diluye en aceite de ricino y etanol. Esto genera efectos colaterales indeseados en los pacientes; además, como no es soluble pronto es absorbida por las paredes arteriales y no circula, lo que puede reducir su efectividad.
Al trabajar en esta investigación los científicos cordobeses basaron sus estudios las moléculas de un ácido graso que se purifica a partir del cerebro de los cerdos. Las moléculas del lípido se organizan de manera automática y, con la presencia del agua, solas se ensamblan en una esfera. Lo que Beltramo llama "el paso clave" ya que espontáneamente incorpora la droga, esta queda estable y su efecto dura entre cuatro y seis meses. La molécula sola se rodea de albúmina, con lo que se ha conseguido es una estructura como la de Estados Unidos, pero con más estabilidad y de fácil elaboración.
Hace poco más de un año, en los Estados Unidos, la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos () aprobó para la venta una nanoestructura de albúmina que actúa como carrier de la droga. El estudio de los científicos cordobeses es superador porque el medicamento queda más estable y prolonga su vida útil. |
en | Police find the bodies of 4 adults and 2 children in a home along with 3 other badly wounded children.
On Monday night, Tennessee pastor Keith Norman was at home having dinner when he got the call about the six bodies -- and the three wounded children -- found in a neighborhood on Memphis' north side.He rushed to the crime scene, gathered onlookers in the rain and prayed to God.On Tuesday morning, Memphis police were pleading for help from anyone who would listen. During a news conference about one of the worst mass killings in their violence-racked city, they had no suspect photos or motive."This is a stain on our community, and we really need the community's help," Lt. Joe Scott said. "These were children that were brutally killed and injured.""If you heard something -- anything -- saw a suspicious vehicle, this is not a time to ignore it," Det. Monique Y. Martin added.Martin described the scene at the modest brick house as "horrific," but the details police offered Tuesday were hazy:Someone had called authorities Monday evening and asked them to check on the well-being of the occupants. Inside, they found the four slain adults -- two men and two women -- and two dead children.Three other children were badly wounded. They remained hospitalized Tuesday, one in serious condition and the other two described as "very critical."Police did not release the victims' names or say whether they were related. The children, they said, appeared to be 18 months to 12 years old.Details concerning the suspect or suspects were equally vague. Police said there was no sign of a break-in. One local TV station reported that the adults had been shot and the children stabbed, though police would not confirm those details.The Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper reported that Cecil Dotson had rented the Binghampton neighborhood house at 722 Lester St. with his girlfriend and that at least two children lived with them.In a telephone interview Tuesday, neighbor Leo Baker, 54, said he heard shots coming from the direction of the house Saturday night. Five shots at first, he said, then two or three more. Baker said he went outside but didn't see anything amiss. He said he didn't know the people who lived in the house; he had just seen them in their backyard.The Memphis metropolitan area had the nation's highest violent crime rate in 2006, according to the FBI, and the city has struggled with endemic poverty for decades. Neighborhoods like Binghampton have a tough reputation: Rapper Project Pat called North Memphis the place "where dem killers hang."On Tuesday night, there was a weariness in Baker's voice. His neighborhood had been full of TV news vans, police tape and people standing on front lawns crying."I don't know, man," he said. "I really hate it, for the kids' sake." | en | Six people, including two children, were found dead in a Memphis, Tennessee home in the United States on Monday. Three wounded children were also found at the scene, a 7-year-old boy, a 10-month-old girl and a 4-year-old whose gender was not reported, were sent to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center. Two were last reported in very critical condition, while the other was in serious condition.
All of the victims had either gunshot or stab wounds, or both, and were all found in the same room. Its unclear as to the day it happened, but a neighboor from across the street said he heard gunshots being fired at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night.
The killer is still at large. "This is a stain on our community, and we really need the community's help," said Lt. Joe Scott of the Memphis Police Department at a press conference today.
"I don't know the answer," Mayor Willie Herenton told local television. "I don't think anybody knows the answer. I don't think more police officers, more jails, more people marching in the streets, praying — I don't think all of those things are the answers." |
en | MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Six people, including two children, were found dead Monday night in a home on Lester Street in Memphis.
Memphis Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Young said firefighters responded to a 911 call at a home at 722 Lester at 6:11 p.m. Monday, where the bodies and wounded children were found.
The wounded children - a 7-year-old boy, a 10-month-old girl and a 4-year-old whose gender wasn't immediately known - were transported to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center.
According to hospital spokeswoman Jennilyn Utkov, the children were taken to the emergency room to be treated. No further information was available about their conditions.
Sources told Action News 5 the four adults found dead suffered from gunshot wounds, while the two children were found stabbed to death. The three children found alive were also stabbed. All nine victims were found in the same room.
Neighbors identified the person living at the home as Cecil Dotson. Dotson's sister Nicole was frightened for her family members.
"You know when you come to stuff like this you think the worst," she said. "You think someone is dead. I am scared to death, all my nieces and nephews are in there."
Police were uncertain whether Dotson was among the bodies.
Though the bodies were discovered Monday night, it was unclear exactly when the murders took place. Neighbors in the area reported hearing a disturbance at the home over the weekend, including the sound of gunshots around 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
As news of the grisly find spread though the neighborhood, residents gathered in spite of the rainy weather to watch from afar as police conducted their investigation.
Homicide detectives could be seen speaking with relatives sitting in a car near the house where the killings happened.
"It's sad you come home to find out something like this has gone on," neighbor Leo Baker said. "I've been living here for 10 years. It's kind of sad, and scary too."
Baker said he didn't know the family living in the house.
Wayne Bolden, who lived across the street from where the shooting happened, told The Associated Press that the male occupant of the house periodically fired shots in his yard.
"He'd shoot on the 4th of July and New Year's Eve," Bolden said. "He'd have company over and I'd hear the shots."
He said the family there kept to themselves, but he would see four or five children from the house riding bicycles occasionally.
"It's a pretty quiet neighborhood; nothing of this magnitude has ever happened here," Bolden said.
Rev. Keith Norman, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church on Broad Avenue, planned a prayer service for 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning to lend support to the victims' families.

en | In a rare astronomical phenomenon, planets Jupiter, Mercury and Mars are visible to the naked eye up to December 14. These planets in conjunction can be seen early Sunday morning, 40 minutes before sunrise. These three will stage the closest planetary threesome until the year 2053. Naked-eye viewing is fine, but binoculars or a telescope are even better. A telescope is not reccomended, because they will appear to be so close to the Sun that you risk gazing at it through the telescope and damage your eyesight.
Jupiter shines more brilliantly than any star. With the exception of the Sun, Moon and Venus, Jupiter is the brightest celestial body in the heavens. If you spot only one point of light by Jupiter, thats probably Mercury. Its considerably brighter than fainter Mars.
About 45 minutes before dawn on Sunday those three planets will be so close that the average person's thumb can obscure all three from view. They will be almost as close together on Saturday and Monday, but Sunday they will be within one degree of each other in the sky. Three planets haven't been that close since 1925, said Miami Space Transit Planetarium director Jack Horkheimer quoted by AP.
"Jupiter will be very bright and it will look like it has two bright lights next to it, and they won't twinkle because they're planets," said Horkheimer, host of the television show "Star Gazer. "This is the kind of an event that turns young children into Carl Sagans."
"When I look at something like this, I realize that all the powers on Earth, all the emperors, all the money, cannot change it one iota. We are observers, but the wonderful part of that is that we are the only species on this planet that can observe it and understand it," he said, as quoted by AP.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest within the solar system. Jupiter and the other gas giantsSaturn, Uranus, and Neptuneare sometimes referred to as "Jovian planets". Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the other planets combined, so massive that its barycenter with the Sun actually lies above the Sun's surface (1.068 solar radii from the Sun's center). It is 318 times more massive than Earth, with a diameter 11 times that of Earth, and its volume is 1300 times as great as that of Earth.
Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the solar system, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. Comparatively little is known about the planet: the only spacecraft to approach Mercury was Mariner 10 from 1974 to 1975, which mapped only 40%45% of the planet's surface.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Mars is also known as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance when seen from Earth. The prefix areo-, from the Greek god of war, Ares, refers to Mars in the same way geo- refers to Earth. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and oddly shaped. These may be captured asteroids similar to 5261 Eureka , a Mars Trojan asteroid. Mars can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.

en | CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Stargazers will get a rare triple planetary treat this weekend with Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars appearing to nestle together in the predawn skies.
About 45 minutes before dawn tomorrow those three planets will appear so close that the average person's thumb could obscure all three from view.
They will look almost as close together today and Monday, but tomorrow they will be within one degree of each other in the sky. Three planets haven't been that close since 1925, said Miami Space Transit Planetarium director Jack Horkheimer.
The planets are actually hundreds of millions of miles apart, but the way the planets orbit the sun make it appear they are neighbors in the east-southeastern skies. They'll be visible in most of the world -- in the Western Hemisphere, as far south as Buenos Aires and as far north as Juneau, Alaska, Horkheimer said.
The way to find the planets, which will be low on the east-southeast horizon, is to hold your arm straight out, with your hand in a fist and the pinky at the bottom. Halfway up your fist is how high the planets will appear above the horizon, Nichols said.
Jupiter will be white, Mercury pinkish, and Mars butterscotch-colored.
In ancient times, people thought the close groupings of planets had deep meaning, Krupp said. Now, he said, "it's absolutely something fun to look for."

The Sexiest Wimbledon Tennis Champions survey: And the Winners are.......... Roger Federer may have been crowned Champion yesterday in the 2007 Wimbledon menís singles finals but Andre Agassi and Maria Sharapova have been voted the sexiest male and female champions of Wimbledon from the last 20 years.
A survey conducted by GetMeATicket.co.uk asked which of the champions from the famous All England Tennis club were the sexiest and an overwhelming majority, 77%, voted Agassi as the sexiest male and 68% for Maria Sharapova as the sexiest female.
Perhaps it was Agassi's flowing locks (in the early days) and thrilling shot-making that helped take him to the top of the sexiest male champion poll? Whilst Sharapova's model-looks, boundless energy and short skirts would not have hurt her cause in this survey.

de | Sie nutzen die EM für ihren Protest gegen Prostitution und Frauenfeindlichkeit, doch seit Freitag wurden drei Aktivistinnen einer Protestgruppe vermisst. Nun sind sie wieder aufgetaucht und erheben schwere Vorwürfe gegen den ukrainischen Geheimdienst.
Drei Mitglieder der radikalen ukrainischen Protestgruppe Femen sind angeblich im EM-Spielort Donezk verschleppt und erst nach stundenlangem Verhör freigelassen worden. Eine Aktivistin der für ihre Nacktproteste bekannten Gruppe sei ins Gesicht geschlagen worden, berichteten die Feministinnen am Samstag auf ihrer Internetseite.
Anzeige
Mitten in der Nacht seien die Frauen dann zum Bahnhof der Stadt gebracht worden. Sie hatten eine Protestaktion während des Spiels Ukraine - Frankreich (0:2) geplant, waren aber schon kurz nach ihrer Ankunft überwacht worden und schließlich verschwunden.
Der Bericht soll nahelegen, dass es sich bei ihren Entführern um Sicherheitsleute von Milliardär Rinat Achmetow handelt, dem einflussreichsten Mann in dem Gebiet an der Grenze zu Russland. "(Präsident Viktor) Janukowitsch interessiert uns einen Scheiß, wir bewachen Rinat", habe einer der Männer gesagt, schrieb Femen. Die Gruppe klagte über Dauerüberwachung. Ihre Telefone würden abgehört.
Nach Ansicht von Femen führt die Fußball-Europameisterschaft in der Ex-Sowjetrepublik zu einem Anstieg von Sextourismus, Menschenhandel und Prostitution. Mit blanken Brüsten protestierte die Organisation am Rande des Eröffnungsspiels in Warschau. Polizisten trugen die Frauen weg. Seit 2008 kämpfen die Aktivistinnen für mehr Demokratie im Co-Gastgeberland der Europameisterschaft. Sie protestieren gegen die aus ihrer Sicht zunehmend autoritäre Politik des seit zwei Jahren regierenden Präsidenten Viktor Janukowitsch, vor allem aber gegen Menschenhandel und Prostitution. Ihr wichtigster Gegner heißt aktuell aber Fußball. Bis zum EM-Finale am 1. Juli in Kiew wollen sie "sehr viel Krawall" machen.
Polizei weist Vorwürfe zurück
Unterdessen hat die Polizei von Donezk bestätigt, dass sie mehrere Femen-Mitglieder zwischenzeitlich festgenommen hat, Vorwürfe wegen körperlicher Gewalt aber zurückgewiesen. Zwei Frauen seien vor dem EM-Spiel am Freitag verhaftet worden, nachdem eine Zeugin gehört habe, dass diese "etwas Schlechtes planen" würden, sagte Polizeichef Juri Sednew bei einer Pressekonferenz am Samstag. "Wir haben eine dritte Frau auf die Polizeistation gebeten, so dass sie sich überzeugen konnte, dass kein Druck auf die Frauen ausgeübt wird", erklärte Sednew laut englischer Übersetzung weiter. Es sei bei der Festnahme keine Zeitbeschränkung überschritten worden.
Femen-Chefin Anna Hutsol hatte zuvor in einer Stellungnahme gesagt, dass Alexandra Schwetschenko, Jana Tschanowa und Anna Bolschakowa von bis zu 15 Männern verfolgt worden seien. "Das waren Spitzel des Geheimdienstes, keine normalen Polizisten", sagte sie.
Die Situation erinnert stark an einen Kidnapping-Fall in Weißrussland: Mitte Dezember 2011 hatte die Gruppe dort gegen Präsident Alexander Lukaschenko protestiert. Danach waren die Frauen tagelang verschwunden, erst durch das Einschalten des ukrainischen Außenministeriums kamen die Aktivistinnen frei. Sie waren damals tagelang durch Weißrussland gefahren und verhört worden.

de | Femen-Aktivistin bei einer Protest-Aktion in Hamburg: In Donezk gab es Festnahmen
Drei Aktivistinnen der Frauengruppe Femen erheben schwere Vorwürfe gegen den ukrainischen Geheimdienst: Sie sollen im EM-Spielort Donezk verschleppt und verprügelt worden sein. Erst nach stundenlangen Verhören habe man sie freigelassen, behaupten die Frauen. Die Polizei bestätigte die Festnahmen.
Hamburg - Mehrere Stunden wurden Alexandra Schwetschenko, Jana Tschanowa und Anna Bolschakowa in Donezk vermisst, dann tauchten sie in der Nacht zum Samstag wieder auf: Nach Angaben der Polizei wurden die Mitglieder der radikalen Protestgruppe Femen festgenommen, Vorwürfe wegen körperlicher Gewalt aber zurückgewiesen.

Die Feministinnen hatten zuvor auf ihrer Internetseite schwere Vorwürfe gegen den ukrainischen Geheimdienst erhoben. Demnach sollen die Frauen im EM-Spielort Donezk "am helllichten Tag" und "mit roher Gewalt" in ein Auto gestoßen worden und anschließend von Geheimdienst-Mitgliedern neun Stunden lang "unter moralischem Druck und ohne Kontakt zur Außenwelt" verhört worden sein. Einem Mitglied der Gruppe sei ins Gesicht geschlagen worden.
"Die Frauen aus der Donbass-Gegend sind viel schöner als diese Frauen"
Der Bericht soll nahelegen, dass es sich bei den Entführern um Sicherheitsleute von Milliardär Rinat Achmetow handelt, dem einflussreichsten Mann in dem Gebiet an der Grenze zu Russland. "(Präsident Wiktor) Janukowitsch interessiert uns einen Scheiß, wir bewachen Rinat", habe einer der Männer gesagt, schrieb Femen.
Alle Frauen sollen nach ihrer Ankunft in Donezk systematisch überwacht worden sein. Auch Büroräume der Gruppe sollen verwanzt worden sein und unter ständiger Überwachung stehen.
Donezks Bürgermeister Alexander Lukjantschenko verspottete die Gruppe: "Ich kann versichern, dass Frauen aus der Donbass-Gegend viel schöner als diese Frauen sind, lokale Journalisten können Ihnen dies bestätigen."
Femen ist international für seine Aktionen bekannt, die sich unter anderem gegen Prostitution, Sextourismus, Wahlbetrug und Korruption richten. Fast immer ist dabei nackte Haut im Spiel.
Mitte Dezember waren Mitglieder der ukrainischen Gruppe in Weißrussland verschleppt und verhört worden. Erst nachdem sich das ukrainische Außenministerium eingeschaltet hatte, kamen die Frauen frei.
Auch das Eröffnungsspiel der Fußball-EM hatte die Organisation als Bühne für ihren Protest gegen Prostitution und Frauenfeindlichkeit genutzt. Mitglieder der Gruppe entblößten vor dem Nationalstadion von Warschau ihre Brüste, riefen "Fuck EURO" und machten damit wieder einmal spektakulär auf ihre Ziele aufmerksam. | de | Datei:2 years of FEMEN.jpg|thumb|250 px|Mitglieder von Femen

Keinerlei Zeitbeschränkung sei bei der Festhaltung überschritten worden.
Die Frauen der Protestgruppe, die zum EM-Spiel Ukraine und Frankreich angereist waren, sollen nach ihrer Ankunft in Donezk systematisch überwacht, die Büroräume der Gruppe sollen verwanzt worden sein.
Die Organisation Femen tritt für die Selbstbestimmung der Menschen ein. Sie ist international für Oben-ohne-Proteste gegen Wahlfälschungen, Sextourismus, Wladimir Putin, und die geplanten staatlichen Verhaltensvorschriften während der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2012 bekannt geworden. Nachdem der ukrainische Ministerpräsident Mykola Asarow im März 2010 erklärte, Politik sei keine Frauensache, forderte Femen die Freundinnen und Ehepartnerinnen der Regierungsmitglieder zum Sexboykott auf. |

A las 8.32 sobrevino el horror. En la estación de Once un tren que venía de Moreno no pudo frenar y se estrelló contra la cabecera del andén. La Policía Federal confirmó que 50 personas murieron en el accidente. Otras 676 resultaron heridas. Viajaban más de mil pasajeros.
La cifra de víctimas fatales fue actualizada esta noche por el Gobierno porteño. La investigación del hecho quedó a cargo del juez federal Claudio Bonadio y del fiscal Federico Delgado. Es el segundo accidente ferroviario más grave en la historia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.
Los heridos fueron trasladados a los hospitales Ramos Mejía (50), Santojanni (5), Durand (194), Rivadavia (44), Fernández (31), Piñero (30), Argerich (24), Zubizarreta (14), Tornu, (20), Vélez Sarsfield (4); Alvarez (5), Penna (39) y Pirovano (1). Para información sobre heridos e internados fueron habilitadas las líneas 136 y el teléfono 4323-9000.
Fueron muchos los pasajeros que del tren del ferrocarril Sarmiento que lograron salir por si solos. Pero muchos otros no. El choque contra la barrera de contención del andén fue terrible: la formación venía a 26 kilómetros por hora.
Los heridos se desparramaron por el hall del andén pidiendo ayuda o esperándola sin poder moverse. Las ambulancias no daban abasto para trasladarlos. Decenas de vehículos del SAME llegaron al lugar para asistir a las víctimas. El Ministerio de Desarrollo Social de la Ciudad armó un operativo para darles contención.
A los pocos minutos, la zona fue vallada se cortó el ingreso a los andenes. Los pasajeros fueron ubicados en diferentes sectores de la estación y clasificados según la gravedad de sus lesiones.
En el área "verde", atendieron a los pasajeros con golpes y lesiones de baja gravedad: eran cientos. Estaban marcados con sangre, cortes y heridas en sus rostros, brazos o piernas. La ropa, destrozada. Otros, en cambio, apenas tenían rasguños. Todos tenían algo en común: la mirada perdida, la mueca de la angustia y el miedo.
Hasta las 11.30 de la mañana, los bomberos del Grupo Especial de Rescate y de los Cuarteles 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 y 8 de la Ciudad trabajaron como leones para sacar a unas 60 personas que quedaron atrapadas entre los hierros retorcidos de los dos primeros vagones del tren de la empresa TBA. Fueron más de tres horas de gritos, corridas y desesperación. La adrenalina a tope tratando de salvar vidas.
Pero a las 11.45 quedaba poco por hacer. Una a una, las bolsas negras con los cuerpos de las víctimas fueron sacadas del tren. Los policías las llevaron por la parte de atrás de la estación para ser trasladadas a la Morgue Judicial. Fueron casi 20 minutos de espanto.
A esa hora, la mayoría de los heridos habían sido asistidos y trasladados a los hospitales de la zona. Y el hall de la estación dejó ser una sala de emergencias improvisada. Sólo quedaba el personal del SAME, los bomberos que volvían empapados en sudor a sus unidades y los policías que alejaban a los curiosos de la estación.
La formación del Sarmiento impactó a las 8.32 contra la barrera de contención final del andén 2 tras sufrir, aparentemente, un problema en los frenos. Los pasajeros denunciaron que el tren circulaba muy rápido. "Un tren que venía de Moreno se quedó sin frenos, descarriló y chocó contra la estación, no contra otro tren", contó Paula, una de las pasajeras, por Radio Mitre. Otro pasajero, Emanuel, que viajaba de Morón a Once para ir a trabajar, contó a Clarín.com que se sintió un fuerte impacto y que la gente comenzó a caerse una encima de la otra, en medio de gritos de desesperación.
En los hospitales, los heridos contaron detalles del accidente. Clarín.com reunió testimonios de los protagonistas de la tragedia.
El secretario de Transporte Juan Pablo Schiavi hizo una sola aparición pública. "Puede haber víctimas", había dicho. Sobre el accidente, explicó que el tren impactó contra el paragolpes de la estación a 20 kilómetros por hora. Ya no se lo volvió a ver más hasta que esta tarde compareció ante los medios para dar detalles de la tragedia y esquivar responsabilidades.
Por su parte, los gremios ferroviarios salieron a acusar a la empresa como responsable del accidente: hablaron de desidia y desinversión. Pero advirtieron que habrá que esperar los peritajes para conocer las causas específicas del accidente de hoy. No obstante, el delegado de los trabajadores de la línea Sarmiento, Rubén Sobrero, aseguró esta mañana que los frenos de la formación habían sido revisados anoche en el taller de (la localidad bonaerense de) Castelar. "Por lo que tenemos entendido, esta formación salió bien del taller”.
El Gobierno porteño informó que trabajó personal de Defensa Civil y 25 móviles de la Policía Metropolitana en conjunto con 30 móviles de la Policía Federal. Desde la Subsecretaría de Emergencias de la Ciudad también trabajaron las direcciones de Logística y Guardia de Auxilio con otros seis móviles.
El titular del SAME, Alberto Crescenti, confirmó que dos chicos fueron trasladados de urgencia al Hospital de Niños en uno de los helicópteros que participó del operativo. Y que otro menor de edad falleció. Médicos y bomberos intentaron trasladarlo en una camilla, pero el nene colapsó en la estación e intentaron reanimarlo en medio del hall.
Imágenes como estas se quedaron clavadas en los ojos de los sobrevivientes, en los curiosos y empleados de la estación. Allí, cerca de la 1 de la tarde y cuando nadie lo esperaba, desde los fondos del andén aparecieron médicos gritando. Habían sacado a una última mujer de los vagones y estaba con vida. | es | La Policía Federal Argentina confirmó que 49 personas murieron a causa del accidente ferroviario en la estación Once del ferrocarril Sarmiento al quedar atrapadas entre los hierros retorcidos de los vagones. Horas antes una periodista de un diario argentino vio como retiraban cuerpos por la parte de atrás de la estación rumbo a la morgue judicial.
48 personas mayores y un menor son el total de víctimas fatales del accidente producido por una falla del sistema de frenos del tren que provocó que chocara contra la rampa de protección del anden. Otras 550 personas fueron atendidas por el SAME, 30 de las cuales están en grave estado y están hospitalizados en el Hospital Ramos Mejía, el resto fueron repartidos entre el Hospital Durand y el Piñero.

es | Al menos 50 muertos y 676 heridos dejó la tragedia registrada ayer en la estación Once luego de que una formación de la línea Sarmiento impactara contra el andén en plena hora pico.
Además, hay medio centenar de heridos graves y decenas de desaparecidos que son buscados intensamente por sus familiares y amigos en la morgue y los hospitales.
El gobierno porteño aseguró anoche que son 50 los muertos por el suceso que, por su magnitud, se convirtió en la tercera tragedia ferroviaria más grave en la historia del país . Así lo informó el subsecretario de Derechos Humanos del gobierno de la Ciudad, Claudio Avruj, en declaraciones a C5N. "Son 11 los muertos que hay en la Morgue Judicial, y 39 aquí", dijo.
Más temprano, la Policía Federal había informado que eran 49 los muertos, uno de ellos menor de edad.
Avruj agregó que "se está terminando de hacer el registro fotográfico" de las víctimas fatales y precisó que el registro se realiza de manera unificada en la Chacarita, "para que esta etapa de identificación sea lo menos traumática posible".
Por la catástrofe, tanto la Nación como la Ciudad decretaron dos días de duelo y suspendieron los eventos de carnaval previstos para el viernes. La presidenta Cristina Kirchner, en tanto, expresó a través de un comunicado su "profundo pesar" por la tragedia en la estación Once.
El traslado de las víctimas
Las causas
Los motivos de la colisión aún se desconocen. Pero ayer, en una conferencia de prensa en la que no permitió preguntas, el secretario de Transporte de la Nación, Juan Pablo Schiavi, dijo que hasta la entrada a la cabecera del andén, a las 8.33, el convoy, de ocho vagones, procedente de Moreno, marchaba a 26 km/h, y que en la última medición disponible hecha por medio del GPS instalado en la unidad, 40 metros antes del final del recorrido, era de 20 km/h, ambas velocidades "habituales".
Nadie sabe explicar aún por qué la formación no logró detenerse. No pocos pasajeros dijeron ante las cámaras que el tren comenzó a experimentar problemas de frenado antes de llegar a Liniers, que se hicieron más notorios a partir del paso por la estación Flores. Versiones extraoficiales señalan que el maquinista de la formación –un joven de 28 años del que Schiavi destacó su "muy buena foja de servicios", que se hizo cargo del convoy en Castelar y que estaba "descansado"– llegó a decir que había advertido en Haedo que el tren no frenaba.
Sin frenos, aun a 20 km/h la enorme inercia de la mole de metal lanzada sobre rieles magnificó las consecuencias del impacto contra el paragolpes hidráulico de la cabecera. Según explicó el vocero de la Policía Federal, Fernando Sostre, el golpe fue tan fuerte que el segundo vagón se incrustó en el primero unos seis metros, luego de un fortísimo estruendo y un fogonazo.
El pedido desesperado de los atrapados (Youtube.com/Rosciort)
En aquellos primeros dos vagones estaban todas las víctimas mortales; según Sostre, sólo del primero fueron rescatados unos 150 heridos, un cuarto del total.
La empresa TBA emitió un comunicado que difundió a través de su página web. En el texto, manifestó que "lamenta profundamente el grave accidente" y envió sus condolencias a los familiares de los pasajeros fallecidos. Además, añadió que se mantiene "preocupada por el estado de salud" de los lesionados en el choque.
Tras agradecer a todas las autoridades que participaron en el operativo, TBA indicó que habilitó el número telefónico 0800-3333-822 para quienes quieran solicitar mayor información.
El operativo
La tragedia se desató cuando una formación del ferrocarril Sarmiento no logró frenar al entrar en el andén de la estación Once y chocó contra el paragolpes hidráulico de la terminal
Tiempo después, personal del SAME comenzó a retirar en camillas a los pasajeros que sufrieron heridas de diferente consideración y los trasladaba a hospitales cercanos. En tanto, otras personas, con heridas leves, se alejaron del lugar caminando.
Por su parte, el conductor del tren que impactó contra la valla de contención al ingresar a la estación Miserere fue retirado de la formación y llevado en ambulancia. Se trató de uno de los operativos que mayor tensión tuvo, ya que decenas de rescatistas se reunieron en el frente del tren para intentar sacarlo de los hierros retorcidos. Trascendió que tendría comprometidas las piernas.
Algunos incidentes y corridas se produjeron ayer en el hall central de la estación de trenes de Once. Un grupo de pasajeros que aguardaban la reanudación de servicios ferroviarios, a ocho horas del accidente, se enfrentaron con la guardia que custodia el lugar.
Algunas personas, cansados de esperar para tomar el servicio, arrojaron botellas, palos y sillas contra efectivos de la Policía Federal y de Infantería que resguardaban la zona. La tensa situación duró pocos minutos y se logró controlar.

es | Un heterogéneo grupo de organizaciones religiosas, medioambientales, de defensa de las armas o la libertad en internet ha demandado a la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA) estadounidense por los programas de espionaje y recolección de datos revelados por el excontratista Edward Snowden.
La demanda, presentada por una veintena de ONG, presentada ante un tribunal federal de San Francisco (California), cuestiona el "programa inconstitucional de vigilancia electrónica" de los registros telefónicos de estadounidenses.
Este programa, que obtiene datos de números de teléfonos, duración de llamadas y localización de millones de personas, fue primero dado a conocer por los diarios The Guardian y The Washington Post con la ayuda de Snowden, actualmente refugiado en el aeropuerto de Moscú a la espera de recibir asilo.
Esta demanda, que se presenta tras otras similares contra la NSA, incluye a organizaciones tan disparares como la Iglesia Unitaria de Los Ángeles, el Consejo Islámico, Greenpeace, fundaciones de libertad en internet como Free Software Foundation, en defensa de la marihuana o del derecho a portar armas.
"Conexiones privadas"
La demanda denuncia que los datos telefónicos obtenidos revelan "conexiones privadas entre individuos y grupos, incluidos los demandantes, sus miembros y personal".
"El programa recopila información de todas las llamadas dentro de Estados Unidos, incluidas llamadas locales o llamadas entre Estados Unidos y el extranjero, independientemente de las conexiones con el terrorismo internacional o de una razonable sospecha", indica la demanda.
La posibilidad de recopilar y almacenar registros de llamadas es autorizada a la NSA por un tribunal secreto conocido como FISA, cuyos poderes han sido progresivamente ampliados desde la aprobación de la llamada Patriot Act en 2001, tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001.
La demanda se centra en criticar la sección 215 de la Patriot Act que permite al tribunal FISA autorizar amplias medidas de vigilancia de comunicaciones telefónicas siempre que se considere que la información puede ser relevante para una investigación. | es | religiosas, medioambientales, defensoras de las armas, la Internet, etc. han demandado a la (NSA) de por su programa de espionaje y recolección de datos revelado por hace algunas semanas.
Organizaciones, entre las que se incluyen y , presentaron la demanda ante un tribunal de , . Según '''', la demanda cuestiona el "programa inconstitucional de vigilancia electrónica".
Este programa, le permite a la NSA obtener datos telefónicos, así como la duración de llamadas y la localización de miles de personas. La demanda además incluye organizaciones como la Iglesia Unitaria de Los Ángeles, y el Consejo Islámico.
La demanda "sigue" a otra presentada el mes pasado en un tribunal de por la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles y, según '''', "prueba la secuencia que está por llegar" contra la NSA. |
es | De momento han sido cerca de una veintena de organizaciones civiles y de defensa de los derechos humanos –desde Human Rights Watch a Greenpeace, pasando por partidarios de la legalización de la marihuana–, pero los grupos que están demandando a la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA, siglas en inglés) por los programas de espionaje y recolección de datos revelados por el exagente de inteligencia Edward Snowden irán en aumento, según una fuente cercana al Departamento de Justicia, que prefiere guardar el anonimato y que conoce de primera mano la conocida como Ley Patriota.
Esa avalancha de demandas que denuncian que el espionaje llevado a cabo sobre los norteamericanos es inconstitucional está poniendo, además, en peligro una de las relaciones más importantes y básicas de la NSA: la que esta agencia mantiene con las empresas de telecomunicaciones y las compañías de internet y que son básicas para su supervivencia. “Si esas empresas decidieran no participar, por temor a las demandas o temor a perder a sus clientes más jóvenes”, dice la misma fuente, “la capacidad de maniobra de la NSA se vería seriamente afectada y la Administración tendría que replantearse su programa”, explica.
El pasado martes, 19 grupos –de defensa del medioambiente; organizaciones musulmanas; la Iglesia Unitaria de Los Ángeles; defensores de la posesión de las armas- presentaron en un tribunal federal de California una “prohibición preliminar y permanente” contra los programas de vigilancia de la NSA por violar la Constitución de EEUU, ya que vulnera, según ellos, su privacidad y su libertad de expresión. Según la fuente cercana a Justicia, esa demanda sigue a una planteada el pasado mes en una corte de Nueva York por la ACLU (Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles, siglas en inglés) y prueba la secuencia que está por llegar de organizaciones querellándose contra la NSA y su facultad de recopilar y almacenar registros de llamadas autorizada por un tribunal secreto también conocido como FISA, cuyos poderes se han ido ampliando progresivamente ante la pasividad del público y la complacencia del Congreso desde la aprobación de la llamada Ley Patriota de 2001 tras los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre.
“El programa [de la NSA] recopila información de todas las llamadas dentro de Estados Unidos, incluidas llamadas locales o llamadas entre EEUU y el extranjero, independientemente de las conexiones con el terrorismo internacional o la existencia de una razonable sospecha”, se lee en la demanda. La querella se centra en su crítica a la sección 215 de la Ley patriota que permite a FISA autorizar medidas de vigilancia de comunicaciones telefónicas siempre que se estime que la información puede ser de interés para una investigación en curso.
Según el grupo Public Knowledge –defensor de la libertad en la red y parte en la querella de California-, los programa de la NSA no solo invaden la privacidad sino también violan el derecho de la gente a la libre asociación garantizado en la Primera Enmienda.
“Cuando el Gobierno recaba información sobre quién llama a quién, cada cuánto tiempo y cómo, sin duda se hace con una fotografía muy exacta de los contactos y asociaciones de esa gente. Todos sabemos que en el pasado las autoridades han intentado confeccionar listas de miembros de grupos para disuadir a cierta gente de formar ciertos grupos”, explican desde Public Knowledge.
En lo que se ha considerado una victoria en una larga batalla todavía en marcha, a principios de semana FISA le daba la razón a Yahoo y ordenaba a la Administración de Barack Obama decir qué documentos podrían ser desclasificados en lo que concierne al grupo de internet. Tras las revelaciones de Snowden, Yahoo, al igual que otros grupos de Internet, solicitó el 14 de junio que se hicieran públicas las decisiones de ese tribunal. Pero Justicia no tomó "ninguna posición" sobre esta solicitud, de acuerdo con un documento publicado el lunes por FISA. Reggie Walton ha dicho ahora al Departamento de Justicia que debe tratar con “prioridad” el caso.
En 2008, FISA había ordenado a varios grupos de Internet -incluyendo Yahoo- permitir el acceso del Gobierno a sus datos a través de un programa de control conocido como PRISM y revelado por Snowden. Otros grupos de Internet, como Google y Microsoft, también exigen la desclasificación de las decisiones del FISA. Se espera que la Administración revele el 26 de agosto qué partes puede hacer públicas, lo que permitirá una mirada fugaz a cómo el Gobierno ha justificado de forma legal bajo la FISA la recolección de información.
Ayer, altos cargos de la Administración de Obama defendían en el Congreso los controvertidos programas de vigilancia frente a legisladores de ambos partidos, que mostraron su preocupación sobre el hecho de que esa recolección de información esté siendo demasiado amplia e intrusiva. “No me siento bien sabiendo que conocemos datos de millones de norteamericanos”, dijo el representante demócrata John Conyers, que declaró que la sección 215 de la Ley Patriota puede suponer “una violación de la Cuarta Enmienda de la Constitución”.
Por su parte, James Sensenbrenner, congresista republicano y uno de los patrocinadores de la Ley Patriota, advirtió de que en estos momentos no se cuentan con suficientes votos en la Cámara de Representantes para renovar esa ley cuando llegue su momento, a finales de 2015, y que el Congreso acabará con la norma si continua el espionaje. “Creo que este programa ha descarrilado y necesita volver a las vías de la legalidad”, puntualizó Zoe Lofgren, representante demócrata. | es | religiosas, medioambientales, defensoras de las armas, la Internet, etc. han demandado a la (NSA) de por su programa de espionaje y recolección de datos revelado por hace algunas semanas.

Senior Editor for Australia's ''Cleo'' magazine Sharri Markson confirmed on Wednesday that she will not be competing for the role of editor between the sudden merger of '''' and '''' titles. The news came only days after German-based announced the merger of two of their most popular Australian magazines, with an expected loss of half the production staff by early next year.
The production team was informed of the merge in a staff meeting on Monday. Chief executive Matt Stanton and publisher Sebastian Kadas explained the merger process, which will see the separate mastheads continue under the one production team and half the size of the normal magazine printing dimensions.
Both current editors Sharri Markson and Tiffany Dunk, along with the entire production team, were required to re-apply for their positions and compete against one another to secure a position. However, according to '''', after only three days of consideration, Markson informed staff that she is not prepared to accept the role given it would mean producing two magazines with half the staff.
Former editors of both ''Dolly'' and ''Cleo'' are turning to Twitter to show support for the staff in danger of unemployment. posted; "Sad for all the girls who dream of working in magazines. The dream is sadly very much over. No joy today. Thinking of ''Dolly'' & ''Cleo'' staff", and posting "Very sad to hear news that ''Dolly'' & ''Cleo'' magazines are merging, with expected losses of half the staff. End of an era. And a personal one ..." Wilkinson told ''''. "I just hope the magazine publishers in this country have been mentoring that new talent otherwise it simply will not work".
Bauer Media have released a statement addressing the situation, claiming to be “continually reviewing every aspect of its business, looking at new opportunities for growth and investment, whilst ensuring all divisions are working as efficiently and effectively as possible”. Bauer’s CEO who addressed the staff on Monday continued, saying "it makes sense to bring the staff creating these young women’s lifestyle titles together. The single publishing unit enables us to tap the synergies and expertise between the mastheads to further enhance the reach and relevance of these two much-loved Australian magazine brands."
The production staff along with popular media personalities are publicly questioning the efficiency of the merge, as both titles have distinctly different audiences; with ''Dolly'' aiming at teenager readers and ''Cleo'' at women in their 20s and 30s. This combined with the ever increasing stress of publishing will only maximise the pressure on the new production team. highlighted the concern, telling '''', "I know everybody is cost-cutting at the moment, but this seems a bit extreme. You'd have to be a very experienced, very talented editor to put out both titles. I ran the women's division at , but all the titles had their own clearly defined editors. For one person to edit two magazines — that may be something they do in Germany, but it's new for me ... I'd like to see their business plan."
The move comes closely after Bauer discontinued women's magazine titles ''Madison'' and '''' in Australia earlier this year due to continuing financial pressures.

Publishing legend Ita Buttrose has joined a chorus of former top editors voicing concern at an "extreme" proposal by magazine giant Bauer Media to merge the reporting staffs of its iconic titles Cleo and Dolly. Bauer staff are also alarmed by the company's handling of the move, in which the current editors of the magazines have been portrayed as being in a "showdown" and a "fight to the death".
Under the proposal announced to Bauer Media staff yesterday, the titles would remain separate publications but with only one pool of staff. There would be one editor-in-chief, one managing editor and one publisher overseeing both titles. All staff would have to reapply for their positions, with around half expected to lose their jobs. Either Cleo editor Sharri Markson or Dolly editor Tiffany Dunk is expected to become editor-in-chief.
Buttrose, the founding editor of Cleo, told Crikey: "I know everybody is cost-cutting at the moment, but this seems a bit extreme. You'd have to be a very experienced, very talented editor to put out both titles.
"I ran the women's division at ACP Magazines, but all the titles had their own clearly defined editors. For one person to edit two magazines — that may be something they do in Germany, but it's new for me ... I'd like to see their business plan."
Buttrose adds it would be extremely difficult for journalists to write across both titles given Dolly is aimed at teenagers while Cleo is targeted at women in their 20s and 30s.
"It could add to the uncertainty that I hear exists in the company over the future of some of the titles," she added. "People get very jittery in the when they hear these things are going on."
A Bauer insider said: "As a strategy, it's kind of nuts. It's a silly thing to set the two editors up against each other. They should have made a decision and moved the other one on or found them another role." Unsurprisingly, the tabloids are revelling in the potential stoush — see yesterday's Daily Telegraph headline "Battle of the teen mag editors".
Markson, a former Sunday Telegraph political journalist and Seven News reporter, was appointed editor of Cleo in December 2012. She has overseen a relaunch of the magazine and de-emphasised stories about orgasms and sex positions. Markson is regarded as extremely ambitious and competitive — in June it was revealed she had rifled through the bin of sister title Cosmopolitan to see if the mag was working on a similar story. Before editing Dolly, Dunk was a deputy editor at TV Week and entertainment editor at NW.
Marina Go, a former editor of Dolly, said: "I was shocked ... The consumer magazine business model assumes deeply engaged audiences. But that requires editorial teams who are deeply passionate and engaged in their magazine's unique spin on content. I'm not sure how that will continue to be the case when one team produces two products for what should be distinct audiences."
Go is CEO of Private Media which publishes websites including Women's Agenda and Crikey.
Channel Nine Today host Lisa Wilkinson, a former editor of Cleo and Dolly, told Fairfax Media yesterday: "I just hope the magazine publishers in this country have been mentoring that new talent, otherwise it simply will not work." And former Vogue Australia editor Kirstie Clements wrote yesterday: "Stretching staff across two titles such as Cleo and Dolly is a dangerous exercise in creating sameness; something that resembles an soulless exercise in frugality rather than the exciting labour of love a magazine should always be about."
Bauer CEO Matthew Stanton said yesterday that "it makes sense to bring the staff creating these young women's lifestyle titles together. The single publishing unit enables us to tap the synergies and expertise between the mastheads to further enhance the reach and relevance of these two much-loved Australian magazine brands."
The latest circulation results showed Cleo sold 76,163 copies a month, down 17.4% on the same period last year; Dolly sold 80,315, down 12.8%. Both are seen as endangered species because younger readers are turning to the internet for the content — celebrity stories and sex advice — that has long been their speciality. "I don't know whether anyone can save these titles," a senior magazine industry figure said. | en | Logo Bauer Media Group

en | PARK St is going to be the setting of a fight to the death with two editors of Australia's most iconic teen magazines told one must pack up their desk.
Bauer has announced the staff from two of its youth mastheads, Cleo and Dolly, are set to merge and form one newsroom by early next year.
And editors Sharri Markson and Tiffany Dunk will battle it out for a single editor-in-chief position.
Markson's career includes 11 years at The Sunday Telegraph, a Walkley Award and just under two years at Seven as their news editor.
Dunk's experience includes successful roles at TV Week and NW magazine and just under four years at the helm of Dolly.
"An editor-in-chief would be responsible for both titles, with other team members either working directly on the brand or where possible across the two brands," a statement from Bauer media said.
The iconic magazines will continue to be produced as separate titles, however the move will see the "expected loss of half their combined staff".
Bauer CEO Matthew Stanton said that "it makes sense to bring the staff creating these young women's lifestyle titles together.
Former editor's of the magazine's took to social media yesterday to show their support for the magazine's employees.
"Sad for all the girls who dream of working in magazines. The dream is sadly very much over. No joy today. Thinking of Dolly & Cleo staff," posted Mia Freedman.
While Lisa Wilkninson said, "Very sad to hear news that Dolly & Cleo magazines are merging, with expected losses of half the staff. End of an era. And a personal one ..."

Cleo targets women in their 20s and 30s.
Fear and loathing has again descended on Australia's once glamorous women's magazine industry as German-based Bauer Media confirms it is considering merging the teams that create iconic Australian titles Dolly and Cleo.
Word has spread fast across the publishing landscape, especially as the move could see at least one of the magazines' high profile editors being axed.
"The idea is to have one editor-in-chief, one managing editor and one publisher overseeing both titles, but nothing is a done deal; it is simply an idea we are looking at," Bauer spokeswoman Deborah Thomas said this morning.
Dolly targets a teen audience.
It would mean either Dolly's Tiffany Dunk or Cleo's Sharri Markson could be out of a job in a matter of weeks, setting the stage for a showdown between the two.

Both titles were launched under the reign of Kerry Packer and have been part of the media landscape for decades. Bauer bought the Packer magazine publishing business for $500 million just over a year ago and has been ruthless in axing titles, such as Grazia and Madison.
It was Cleo that cemented Ita Buttrose's status as a feminist in Australia. Her introduction of male centrefolds and stories covering previously taboo subjects about sex and women's rights were considered revolutionary.
However, observers have questioned how efficient it would be to have one team producing both titles when they have been skewed at distinctly different audiences: Dolly is aimed at teenagers, Cleo at women in their 20s and 30s.
Bauer chief executive Matthew Stanton said: "Cleo and Dolly are quickly evolving to meet the needs of a target audience which is itself rapidly changing.
"In such a dynamic environment, it makes sense to bring the staff creating these young women's lifestyle titles together. The single publishing unit enables us to tap the synergies and expertise between the mastheads to further enhance the reach and relevance of these two much-loved Australian magazine brands."
He said staff would be advised of changes as soon as possible with the new model implemented by early next year.
While Bauer management said nothing had been confirmed, staff on both magazines, including the editors, were told by the company that they must reapply for their current positions, suggesting it was inevitable.
Former Cleo editor and Today co-host Lisa Wilkinson took to her Twitter feed to lament the potential merge.

en | Bauer announced in a statement that it was "continually reviewing every aspect of its business, looking at new opportunities for growth and investment, whilst ensuring all divisions are working as efficiently and effectively as possible.
This process has revealed the logic of grouping complementary magazine brands within single publishing units to take full advantage of editorial, digital and production resources that further strengthen our mastheads...
Publishers - both in Australia and overseas - have made similar changes as they respond to new opportunities to create strong multi-platform brands across print, web, mobile, social media and events. The company is now discussing with staff a proposal to bring the teams behind Cleo and Dolly together. An editor-in-chief would be responsible for both titles, with other team members either working directly on the brand or where possible across the two brands."
Bauer CEO Matthew Stanton added that "it makes sense to bring the staff creating these young women’s lifestyle titles together. The single publishing unit enables us to tap the synergies and expertise between the mastheads to further enhance the reach and relevance of these two much-loved Australian magazine brands."

"My bedrock and my heart and soul as a journalist came from magazines": Lisa Wilkinson. Photo: Janie Barrett
Lisa Wilkinson was 21 years old when she began editing Dolly, and just 25 when she took over the reins at Cleo.
The Today co-host did not welcome news on Monday that the magazines’s editorial teams would be merged and one editor overseeing both titles, saying it was the result of poor decisions made 15 years ago.
I just hope the magazine publishers in this country have been mentoring that new talent otherwise it simply will not work.
"Magazine publishers made strategic errors 15 years ago when the internet came along,’’ Wilkinson told PS.
Fresh face: Lisa Wilkinson as Dolly editor in 1984. Photo: Supplied
"They felt very threatened by the internet ... a bit like a fourth grader putting their arm around their homework saying you can’t look. They failed to recognise that the one thing the internet needed more than anything was content, and that's what magazines had plenty of ... they didn’t recognise the gold they already had."

"My bedrock and my heart and soul as a journalist came from magazines, and I still love magazines and like many women aged 35 and over, so many of us grew up on Dolly and progressed on to Cleo. Today’s young women are more connected to the digital world than ever before and it is going to be a real challenge for those magazines to remain relevant.’’
German-based Bauer Media, which owns both titles, said nothing was confirmed, although spokeswoman Deborah Thomas said the idea being considered was ‘‘to have one editor-in-chief, one managing editor and one publisher overseeing both titles.’’

This would likely mean either Cleo’s Sharri Markson or Dolly’s Tiffany Dunk could be out of a job in a matter of weeks, setting the stage for a showdown between the two.
While nothing was being confirmed, staff on both magazines, including the editors, were told by the company that they must reapply for their current positions, suggesting it was inevitable.
Wilkinson took to Twitter as the news broke, lamenting the likely merge.

She tweeted: ‘‘Very sad to hear news that Dolly & Cleo magazines are merging, with expected losses of half the staff. End of an era. And a personal one.’’
Like her colleagues Mia Freedman and Ita Buttrose, Wilkinson has built a major media career off the back of their years editing magazines, including Cleo.
Speaking later, she told PS it was going to take ‘‘somebody who is an incredibly smart magazine editor and someone who understands the subtle but very important differences that are going to have to exist between those two magazines.’’
‘‘I just hope the magazine publishers in this country have been mentoring that new talent otherwise it simply will not work,’’ she said, expressing a mix of hope and doubt about the existence of a generation of new female magazine firebrands.
Both titles were launched under the reign of Kerry Packer and have been part of the media landscape for decades.
Bauer bought the Packer magazine publishing business for $500 million just over a year ago and has been ruthless in axing titles, such as Grazia and Madison.

en | Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement A police officer has been swept away after a bridge collapsed as major floods struck across Cumbria. A major search is being carried out for Pc Bill Barker, 45, who fell into the River Derwent when the A597 bridge was destroyed by floods in Workington. Cumbria Police said father-of-four Pc Barker had been directing motorists off the bridge when it collapsed. Meanwhile, about 200 people have been rescued by emergency services in the flooded town of Cockermouth. Pc Barker has been an officer with the Cumbria force for 25 years. Assistant Chief Constable Jerry Graham said: "I'm devastated by the events of the last few days and particularly the news this morning that one of our officers is unaccounted for following the collapse of a bridge at Northside in Workington. "Pc Bill Barker was directing motorists off the bridge, saving lives, when the tragic incident occurred. "A full and thorough search is underway and we are not losing hope of finding him." Pc Bill Barker was swept off a bridge in Workington
Essential weather information In pictures: flooding in Cumbria RNLI lifeboat operations manager Captain Brian Ashbridge said the lifeboat searching for the missing officer was forced back because of bad weather after three hours of Friday. He said: "There is a massive current coming down through the Derwent so, although the sea isn't very rough, conditions for the RNLI volunteers searching in the river basin have been very challenging. "It's absolutely horrendous. There is a huge amount of debris around in the water at the moment as well, which adds to the difficulties." Officers have warned people to stay away from bridges after water pressure also destroyed the Southwaite footbridge in Cockermouth and the nearby Lorton Bridge. Police have received a high volume of calls about missing people and more than 1,200 people were left without electricity overnight. 'Bumps and scrapes' The Environment Agency said the scale of the flooding was "unprecedented" and the Met Office said rainfall in some parts of the county had been some of the heaviest on record. By 0400 GMT police said floodwater levels in Cockermouth had stabilised, with rescuers able to reach people trapped in their homes by boat. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Water levels in Keswick, which was also badly hit, were not expected to rise any further, police added. A police spokesman said: "The flood levels have stabilised enough to get boats in which is making the operation a lot easier." He added: "There have been no serious injuries as a result of the floods, just a few people treated at the scene for minor bumps and scrapes." RAF squadron leader Dave Webster said the air search and rescue operation was beginning to wind down, although a helicopter would remain on standby. Earlier, up to 20 people were thought to be trapped in their homes in the Main Street area of Cockermouth. Water levels in some parts of the town centre were more than 2.5m (8ft 2in). Lifeboat crews helped the RAF and mountain rescue teams to carry out evacuations in the town. 'Raging torrents' Don Hindmoor, who was trapped inside a flat, said: "There's three people trapped in a one-bedroom upstairs flat. We've been stuck here all day. "We're not in any danger, it's warm enough, we still have electricity and so we're OK where we are for the time being, but there's a lot of people stuck in upstairs flats in this area. "It's not just water outside, it's raging torrents. It's like white water rapids."
Policeman missing in floods chaos Eyewitness: Cockermouth floods More than 200 Cockermouth residents spent the night in emergency reception centres. The centres have been opened at Cockermouth School, Keswick Convention Centre, Southey Street Methodist Hall and Skiddaw Hotel. Cumbria Police have opened a casualty bureau, for members of the public to telephone should they have any concerns regarding relatives, friends and family involved in the flooding incident. David Falcon, of the Environment Agency, said: "It is an improving situation across the county as most of our river levels are falling, albeit slowly. "The outlook for today is pretty good as it is just showers, our only concern at present is the rainfall that is forecast for tomorrow. "About 40mm is predicted, which is nothing like the levels experienced over the past 48 hours, but of course it is falling on saturated ground." 'Wettest ever' Four severe flood warnings remain in place on rivers in Cockermouth, Keswick and Eamont Bridge. There are reports of 370mm (14.5in) of rain falling in 24 hours at Seathwaite in the Lake District. Environment Minister Hilary Benn, who visited Cockermouth on Friday morning, said it may have "the wettest day ever recorded" in the county and that many defences built after the floods of 2005 had not been able to withstand the downpour. He said: "What we dealt with last night was probably more like one-in-a-1,000 flood, so even the very best defences, if you have such quantities of rain in such a short space of time, can be over-topped." Several major roads are closed and more than 70 schools have been shut, Cumbria County Council said. Scores of police officers and mountain rescue volunteers helped evacuate others in the town, where the River Derwent burst its banks. Are you in one of the flooded areas?

Parts of the English Lake District in the county of Cumbria have suffered severe flooding on Thursday, with forecasters predicting further rain. As of 21:09 GMT there were six severe flood warnings (the highest alert in the UK Flood Warnings system) in force in the county, with a large number of flood warnings and watches also in force across the region.
According to BBC News, the main street in the town of Cockermouth is under several feet of water, and around 200 people were being evacuated by helicopters. At least 350 homes in the Elliot Park district of Keswick are also reported to be without power.
A number of local roads are flooded (including the A6 in Kendal). The West Coast Main Line railway is also reported as subject to disruption due to flooding between Oxenholme and Carlisle. Some mainline services are terminating
at either Carlisle or Preston. Local services between Carlisle and Barrow are also reported to have delays.
Some properties in Keswick, Cockermouth and Kendal had already been evacuated under pre-existing emergency plans.
Robert Runcie, the Environment Agency's director of flood and coastal risk was quoted as saying: "After persistent heavy rain combined with saturated ground and full rivers across Cumbria, the decision was taken to evacuate residents in towns and villages across the Lake District, before the onset of serious flooding."
"Since early on Thursday we have been helping emergency services coordinate community groups that are going house-to-house ensuring people were taking precautions and evacuated where necessary. These emergency plans were established following the Cumbria floods of 2005 and have worked successfully. The last thing we want is floodwater putting lives at risk."
"We urge people to take care and check the latest flooding situation and sign up to our free flood warnings service or by calling 08459 881188."
Earlier Cumbrian police had advised against non essential travel, and against fell-walking entirely.
Chief Superintendent Kevin McGilloway of Cumbria Constabulary stating "All the agencies are working together with local people to ensure they are kept as safe as possible during the severe weather which is hitting some parts of the county. We are asking people not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary." He also gave some advice, "Pedestrians in areas where there are floods, such as Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith and Kendal, are being urged not to attempt to walk through flood waters. Anyone who notices blocked drains are also being urged not to put themselves at risk by attempting to unblock them. The key message is for people who are affected by the floods to be prepared, to try and protect any properties that are liable to flooding. Look out for one another including vulnerable friends and neighbours. Anyone in affected areas should ensure they carry mobile phones, torches, waterproofs and other equipment they may need and ensure they have all essential medication with them."
In Kendal, demand for sandbags has been high. A spokesperson for South Lakeland council stated:
"More than 1,000 sandbags have already been collected from our depot and we have ordered 4,000 more to meet the demand."
The Mayor of Keswick praised efforts by those involved in the flood response. "It is all hands to the pump, really" he said. "The emergency services are well co-ordinated and have been fantastic." |
en | Evacuations have taken place in towns and villages across Cumbria, with floodwater driven by heavy rainfall, saturated ground and swollen rivers.
The Environment Agency, emergency services and local authorities responded to rapidly changing conditions to coordinate community groups that went house-to-house evacuating residents in Keswick, Kendal, Cockermouth, and ensuring people are taking precautions in Carlisle, Appleby, and Low Crosby.
Catchments across the Lake District in Cumbria were inundated with 175mm of rain between 21:00 last night and midday today. An additional 100mm of rain is expected over the North West by early Friday.
Hundreds of properties have now been affected by flooding in Cumbria.
Robert Runcie, Environment Agency Director of Flood and Coastal Risk, said: "After persistent heavy rain combined with saturated ground and full rivers across Cumbria, the decision was taken to evacuate residents in towns and villages across the Lake District, before the onset of serious flooding.
“Since this morning Environment Agency officers have been helping emergency services coordinate community groups that are going house-to-house ensuring people were taking precautions and evacuated where necessary.
“These emergency plans were established following the Cumbria floods of 2005 and have worked successfully. The last thing we want is floodwater putting lives at risk.
“We urge people to take care and check the latest flooding situation and sign up to our free flood warnings service or by calling 08459 881188.”
The Environment Agency currently has 6 severe flood warnings, 25 flood warnings and 51 flood watches in place across the country.
Flood defences at Cockermouth on the River Cocker and Derwent have been overtopped. But in Carlisle, where new flood defences are providing protection to over 2500 properties following a £38 million investment, Environment Agency and local authority staff worked throughout last night to erect temporary defences for an extra 400 properties. But pockets of Carlisle are still at risk.
New flood defences on the River Conwy in north Wales protected almost 100 properties in the villages of Llanrwst and Trefrw last night, where river levels were the highest recorded for 25 years.
The Environment Agency Floodline service has received more than 7,000 calls from members of the public over the last 36 hours and issued over 31,000 flood alerts via phone, text, email and fax.
There are now 6 Severe Flood Warnings for:
River Kent at Burneside, Bournville, Bridge St, Carling Dale, Ivy Cresent, New Road and St.
River Kent at Burneside, Steeles Row and Carling Steps.
River Greta at Keswick, Crosthwaite and Limepots Road, High Hill and Church Lane Areas.
River Cocker at Cockermouth.
River Eamont at Eamont Bridge, Kemplay Foot, Skirsgill Lane and Southwaite Green Mill.
River Cocker at Southwaite Bridge.

Creating the plan with your children, explaining what to do and even practising the plan will prepare them for the time when you may need it.
Check your insurance cover and confirm that you are covered for flooding.
Know how to turn off your gas, electricity and water mains supplies
Prepare a flood kit of essentials items – this could include copies of insurance documents, a torch, a wind up or battery radio, warm waterproof clothing and blankets, prescription medication, bottled water and non-perishable foods, baby food and baby care items, important contact details.
Keep a list with all your important contacts to hand.
Think about what you can move now - move items of personal value such as photo albums, family videos and treasured mementos to a safe place.
Flood-proof your home:
There are things you can do to your property that will make it easier and cheaper to clean up after a flood: Raise the height of electrical sockets to 1.5 metres above ground floor level. Use lime plaster instead of gypsum on walls. Fit stainless steel or plastic kitchens instead of chipboard ones. Position any main parts of a heating or ventilation system, like a boiler, upstairs. Fit non-return valves to all drains and water inlet pipes. Replace wooden window frames and doors with synthetic ones. Read our information on preparing your home for flooding.
Use temporary flood protection equipment:
Flood protection equipment can help restrict flood water. Plastic covers to seal airbricks can stop flood water coming in through your airbricks. Sandbags may be provided by your local council or you can buy your own, or fill pillowcases and plastic bags with earth. Floodboards fix to frames around windows and doors. They can be washed, stored and used again. | en | Open Street Map
Parts of the English Lake District in the county of Cumbria have suffered severe flooding on Thursday, with forecasters predicting further rain. As of 21:09 GMT there were six severe flood warnings (the highest alert in the UK Flood Warnings system) in force in the county, with a large number of flood warnings and watches also in force across the region.
According to BBC News, the main street in the town of Cockermouth is under several feet of water, and around 200 people were being evacuated by helicopters. At least 350 homes in the Elliot Park district of Keswick are also reported to be without power.
A number of local roads are flooded (including the A6 in Kendal). The West Coast Main Line railway is also reported as subject to disruption due to flooding between Oxenholme and Carlisle. Some mainline services are terminating
at either Carlisle or Preston. Local services between Carlisle and Barrow are also reported to have delays.
Some properties in Keswick, Cockermouth and Kendal had already been evacuated under pre-existing emergency plans.
Robert Runcie, the Environment Agency's director of flood and coastal risk was quoted as saying: "After persistent heavy rain combined with saturated ground and full rivers across Cumbria, the decision was taken to evacuate residents in towns and villages across the Lake District, before the onset of serious flooding."
"Since early on Thursday we have been helping emergency services coordinate community groups that are going house-to-house ensuring people were taking precautions and evacuated where necessary. These emergency plans were established following the Cumbria floods of 2005 and have worked successfully. The last thing we want is floodwater putting lives at risk."
"We urge people to take care and check the latest flooding situation and sign up to our free flood warnings service or by calling 08459 881188."
Earlier Cumbrian police had advised against non essential travel, and against fell-walking entirely.
Chief Superintendent Kevin McGilloway of Cumbria Constabulary stating "All the agencies are working together with local people to ensure they are kept as safe as possible during the severe weather which is hitting some parts of the county. We are asking people not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary." He also gave some advice, "Pedestrians in areas where there are floods, such as Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith and Kendal, are being urged not to attempt to walk through flood waters. Anyone who notices blocked drains are also being urged not to put themselves at risk by attempting to unblock them. The key message is for people who are affected by the floods to be prepared, to try and protect any properties that are liable to flooding. Look out for one another including vulnerable friends and neighbours. Anyone in affected areas should ensure they carry mobile phones, torches, waterproofs and other equipment they may need and ensure they have all essential medication with them."
In Kendal, demand for sandbags has been high. A spokesperson for South Lakeland council stated:
"More than 1,000 sandbags have already been collected from our depot and we have ordered 4,000 more to meet the demand."
The Mayor of Keswick praised efforts by those involved in the flood response. "It is all hands to the pump, really" he said. "The emergency services are well co-ordinated and have been fantastic." |

en | Cumbria flooding: Police urge against unnecessary travel or fell walking

PEOPLE are being advised not to travel in Cumbria unless absolutely necessary and to avoid fell walking completely.
A multi-agency task force has been set up at Penrith to co-ordinate the response to flooding incidents across the county.
Cumbria Police say they have received 90 calls for help because of the floods. Fire and Rescue have also been out to 150 incidents - including rescues of vulnerable people.
Chief Superintendent Kevin McGilloway, of Cumbria Constabulary, is Chair of the Multi-agency Gold Group.
He said: “All the agencies are working together with local people to ensure they are kept as safe as possible during the severe weather which is hitting some parts of the county. We are asking people not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary.
“Pedestrians in areas where there are floods, such as Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith and Kendal, are being urged not to attempt to walk through flood waters. Anyone who notices blocked drains are also being urged not to put themselves at risk by attempting to unblock them.
“The key message is for people who are affected by the floods to be prepared, to try and protect any properties that are liable to flooding. Look out for one another including vulnerable friends and neighbours. Anyone in affected areas should ensure they carry mobile phones, torches, waterproofs and other equipment they may need and ensure they have all essential medication with them.”
Members of the public are being advised to avoid fell walking in Cumbria as the combination of high winds and rain will be worst on high ground, and they do not want people to put themselves at undue risk.
The Coastguard are also urging people to avoid fishing on sea walls or taking light craft out to sea while the weather remains poor.
They are also discouraging people from attempting to sightsee and anyone considering venturing to the coast is advised to exercise extreme caution. | en | Open Street Map

Police inspect a vehicle destroyed in an explosion at a car showroom in Pattanis Muang district. Below, a soldier with a sniffer-dog guards the entrance of a Yala karaoke bar. Army major dies in second day of blasts Soldiers, militants in fierce gun battle Govt won't deviate on peaceful solution
A string of co-ordinated attacks in the deep South continued unabated yesterday as militants killed an army major, bombed a motor showroom and injured at least seven civilians and ten soldiers who were part of security details for teachers in the violence-plagued region. Major Prasart Nagtang, commander of a ranger unit in Yala's Raman district died in a bomb blast that went off at the front door of his home. His 12-year-old son suffered severe injuries in the attack. In Narathiwat's Ruesoh district, five Border Patrol Police officers from two different platoons were hit by a roadside bomb near a remote railway station. The bomb was hidden in the back of a shed. A second bomb, planted about six metres away, exploded seconds after the first. Also in the same district, a separate incident saw six infantry soldiers patrolling on motorbikes come under roadside attack by gunmen using automatic rifles. The two sides engaged in a fierce gunfight for about five minutes before the militants retreated back into the forest. In Narathiwat's Muang district, a bomb placed just five metres away from a karaoke bar went off, injuring five men and two women drinking just outside the venue. Separately, a bomb explosion in a Chevrolet showroom in Pattani's Muang district injured seven people, including a police officer, and damaged 20 automobiles. Damage to the showroom was put at Bt50 million. The bomb was placed inside a flowerpot against the wall next to the showroom and five metres behind the guard post of the compound. The attacks were part of a non-stop violent campaign that was launched early Sunday evening as celebrations for the Chinese New Year were getting into full swing. Power supplies to Pattani and Yala were cut for several hours as militants bombed the power lines leading to the cities. The Sunday night attacks saw six dead and more than 60 injured in the bombings of "soft targets" such as hotels, karaoke lounges, entertainment venues, rubber plants and government offices. Authorities claimed to have the situation under control by 10pm on Sunday - about four hours after the co-ordinated attacks were launched. But their claim was savagely rebutted with the killing of an Army major and a series of other attacks in various parts throughout the region. The Army's Chief of Staff Gen. Montri Sangkasap said attacks on soft-targets constituted "terrorism" and warned more such acts would take place because there were some "loopholes" in the security measures. But a senior security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said while soft targets were hit on Sunday and Monday, these latest attacks were no different from the previous incidents on the same, or similar, locations. He said there appeared to be some degree of "self-restraint" on the militants' part, pointing to the fact that there were other major targets with a higher concentration of people celebrating the Chinese New Year. Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said no more troops were needed in the region, and insisted the government would not stray from using a peaceful approach to the restive region to win over the area's residents to the government side. The Nation Pattani | de | Die Südprovinzen Thailands kommen auch weiterhin nicht zur Ruhe. Am Wochenende kam es erneut zu einer Anschlagsserie, die laut offiziellen Angaben zu insgesamt acht Toten und 45 Verletzten führten.

Die Anschläge begannen zeitgleich mit dem Beginn der Feierlichkeiten zum chinesischen Neujahrsfest in Thailand. Sie wurden dabei mit unterschiedlichen Mitteln vorgetragen: Brandanschläge, Bombenattentate, Schießereien.

Nakhon Sawan - A pick-up truck crashed head-on with another pick-up after it hit a motorcycle and tried to run away early Monday morning. The two accidents killed six people, including the first pick-up driver, and injured three others.
Police said the accidents happened minutes apart at about 2:10 am.
Police said the first pick-up truck, which had no other passengers, hit a motorcycle in front of a department store in Nakhon Sawan downtown, killing one man and injuring two others on the same motorcycle.
The pick-up truck then sped away on Nakhon Sawan-Chumsaegn Road and crashed head-on with another pick-up truck with five people.
The driver of the first pick-up was killed and four people in the second pick-up were also killed and another was injured.
The Nation | de | Die Südprovinzen Thailands kommen auch weiterhin nicht zur Ruhe. Am Wochenende kam es erneut zu einer Anschlagsserie, die laut offiziellen Angaben zu insgesamt acht Toten und 45 Verletzten führten. Die Bemühungen der thailändischen Regierung einen Ausgleich mit dem aufständischen Süden zu erreichen und statt auf militärische Gewalt auf Diplomatie zu setzen, erlitten damit einen weiteren Rückschlag. Für Dienstag hat der vom Militärrat eingesetzte Premierminister Thailands, Surayud Chulanont, zu einem Dringlichkeitstreffen der Sicherheitsorgane geladen. Surayud sagte, es würden keine weiteren Truppen in der Region benötigt. Die Regierung werde trotz der neuerlichen Anschläge an ihrem Kurs festhalten, einen friedlichen Weg zu verfolgen, um die friedlichen Kräfte der Region zu gewinnen.
Die meisten Anschlägen wurden in den südlichen Provinzen Yala, Pattani und Narathiwat verübt. Die Terrorakte richteten sich meist gegen so genannte weiche Ziele. Die Anschläge begannen zeitgleich mit dem Beginn der Feierlichkeiten zum chinesischen Neujahrsfest in Thailand. Sie wurden dabei mit unterschiedlichen Mitteln vorgetragen: Brandanschläge, Bombenattentate, Schießereien. Eine Grenzpatrouille in Narathiwat wurde Opfer zweier kurz aufeinander folgender Bombenexplosionen; die Bomben waren am Straßenrand versteckt. Im gleichen Distrikt wurden Infanteriesoldaten, die auf Motorrädern patrouillierten, durch Salven aus automatischen Gewehren vom Straßenrand aus angegriffen. Ebenfalls in der Provinz Narathiwat wurde eine Bombe in der Nähe einer Karaoke-Bar gezündet, fünf Männer und zwei Frauen wurden dabei verletzt. Im Ausstellungsraum eines Chevrolet-Autohauses wurden die Fahrzeuge in Brand gesteckt und anschließend noch eine Bombe gezündet, nachdem zwei Sicherheitskräfte zuvor gefesselt worden waren. Die elektrische Versorgung in Pattani und Yala brach für einige Stunden zusammen, weil ein Anschlag auf die Stromverbindungen verübt worden war.

de | Mutmaßliche Terroristen der baskischen Untergrundorganisation Eta haben am Freitag eine Autobombe neben einer Polizeikaserne in Nordspanien gezündet. Bei der Explosion in der Kleinstadt Calahorra in der Weinbauregion La Rioja wurden nach Angaben des staatlichen Rundfunks RNE acht Menschen leicht verletzt. An dem Kasernengebäude und an den umliegenden Wohngebäuden entstanden schwere Schäden.
Unter den Anwohnern und Passanten brach Panik aus. Die Polizei hatte die Kaserne unmittelbar vor der Detonation geräumt. Ein anonymer Anrufer hatte eine halbe Stunde vor der Explosion im Namen der Eta eine Warnung vor der Autobombe durchgegeben. Nach Angaben der Regionalregierung von La Rioja entging Calahorra nur knapp einem "Massaker". Ohne die rasche Räumungsaktion der Polizei hätte der Anschlag zahlreiche Menschen das Leben gekostet, hieß es.
Die Polizeikaserne der paramilitärischen Guardia Civil (Zivilgarde) liegt im Zentrum der Kleinstadt. In den Straßen waren zur Zeit des Anschlags viele Menschen unterwegs. Kurz vor der Explosion war die traditionelle Karfreitagsprozession von Calahorra zu Ende gegangen.
Eta bombt seit 1968
Die Eta hatte vor 25 Jahren schon einmal einen Bombenanschlag auf die Kaserne verübt. Auch damals waren keine Menschen ums Leben gekommen. Vor zwei Wochen hatte die ETA im Baskenland einen Ex-Kommunalpolitiker der Sozialisten ermordet. Der Anschlag ereignete sich zwei Tage vor der Parlamentswahl in Spanien, bei der die Sozialisten von Ministerpräsident José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero ihre Mehrheit behaupteten.

en | Madrid (Reuters) - Die baskischen Untergrundgruppe ETA hat einen Autobombenanschlag auf ein Polizeirevier in Nordspanien verübt.
Der Sprengsatz explodierte am Rande einer Karfreitagsprozession in der Kleinstadt Calahorra in der Region Rioja. Ein Polizist erlitt nach Angaben des Bürgermeisters leichte Gesichtsverletzungen durch Glassplitter. Es sei jedoch großer Sachschaden entstanden. "Der Sprengsatz ging praktisch direkt vor unseren Augen hoch. Die Explosion war enorm", sagte Bürgermeister Javier Pagola. Die sozialistische Regierungspartei verurteilte den Anschlag und erklärte, dass "die terroristische Bande niemals ihre Ziele mit Gewalt" erreichen werde.
Nach Angaben des staatlichen Fernsehens ging etwa 30 Minuten vor der Explosion in Calahorra eine Warnung ein, in der detailliert der Standort des Anschlagsautos sowie dessen Marke, Modell und Farbe beschrieben wurde. Vor dem Polizeirevier brach daraufhin Panik aus, da sich wegen der Karfreitagsprozession zahlreiche Menschen in den Straßen aufhielten. Das Revier der Guardia Civil und dessen Umgebung konnten jedoch rechtzeitig geräumt werden, so dass niemand schwer verletzt wurde.

Se disputará este sábado desde las 11:00 a.m.
Brasil y Chile disputan este sábado el primer partido de octavos de final del Mundial Brasil 2014. Este gran duelo se realizará en el estadio Mineirao de Belo Horizonte.
Solo una de las dos selecciones seguirá con vida tras el partido. La otra alistará sus maletas para dejar la competencia.
Brasil, el anfitrión de esta Copa FIFA, clasificó a octavos al quedarse con el primer lugar del Grupo A tras vencer 3 a 1 a Croacia, empatar 0 a 0 con México y golear 4 a 1 a Camerún.
Su gran estrella en la fase de grupos fue el joven atacante Neymar, quien consiguió cuatro tantos. Esa cantidad le permite liderar la tabla de goleadores junto a Lionel Messi y Thomas Muller.
Por su parte, la selección chilena se quedó con el segundo lugar del Grupo B al vencer 3 a 1 a Australia y 2 a 0 a España. El conjunto al mando del entrenador Jorge Sampaoli solo perdió ante la poderosa Holanda, que se quedó con el primer lugar de ese grupo.
POSIBLE BAJA EN BRASIL
Este viernes, la selección brasileña entrenó en las instalaciones del SESC Venda Nova, en Belo Horizonte, donde el defensa David Luiz no pudo trabajar con normalidad.
El futbolista fichado por el París Saint Germain solo participó en la primera parte de la sesión de entrenamiento, que abandonó para seguir con el tratamiento que recibe para atenuar los dolores de espalda que arrastra.
Si no se recuera a tiempo, su compañero Dante lo reemplazaría.
El resto de la plantilla brasileña realizó hoy trabajos tácticos y practicaron penales.
ALEXIS SÁNCHEZ ENTRE ALGODONES
La selección chilena también trabajó hoy en Belo Horizontes, y tiene más problemas que resolver, pues Alexis Sánchez, Arturo Vidal y Gary Medel arrastran molestias físicas y podrían perder el trascendental partido.
Ninguno de los tres futbolistas trabajó con normalidad, como sí lo hizo el resto del plantel. Solo se sumaron en la parte final de los trabajos, con la esperanza de aparecer en el once titular este sábado.
Alexis Sánchez sufre una leve sobrecarga muscular. De los tres futbolistas citados, es el que tiene más posibilidades de aparecer ante Brasil. Por su parte, Vidal lleva varias semanas lleva varias semanas con un plan especial que combina el trabajo físico y la fisioterapia para fortalecer su rodilla después de la operación a la que se sometió en mayo pasado.
Por último, Medel sufre un pequeño desgarro muscular en el muslo izquierdo. Es el que tiene menos posibilidades de jugar. El seleccionador Jorge Sampaoli debería decidir si arriesga y alinea al jugador, una pieza clave en la estructura defensiva de Chile, o si lo reserva para evitar un mal mayor.
PROPUESTAS DE JUEGO
Ante Chile el técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari pretende ser fiel a su estilo, con un especial cuidado al orden defensivo, e intentar dar un paso más en la evolución del fútbol de la Canarinha, que en la fase de grupos no ha estado a la altura de lo que se espera del principal candidato al título.
En ataque Scolari mantendrá su esquema de los últimos partidos, con Fred fijo en el área contraria y dándole total libertad a Neymar, Hulk y Oscar.
La única probable novedad en la alineación de Brasil será la titularidad de Fernandinho, centrocampista del Manchester City, en el lugar de Paulinho.
Fernandinho hizo una gran segunda parte contra Camerún, en la tercera jornada del Grupo A, cuando marcó un gol y fue responsable de la mejoría palpable del juego de la selección, motivos por los que se ha ganado el voto de confianza de Scolari.
Mientras tanto, Chile ha trabajado estos últimos días en absoluto hermetismo para corregir los errores que provocaron la derrota ante Holanda.
Contra Brasil los jugadores chilenos esperan un partido abierto y dinámico, con un rival con ganas de atacar para deleitar a su público.
Pero no lucharán solamente contra los argumentos futbolísticos de Brasil, sino también contra la historia y la estadística; esos números que dicen que la Roja ha caído a manos de los brasileños en octavos en los dos últimos mundiales en los que ha participado.
La principal duda táctica de Sampaoli está en la defensa, donde se debate entre la posibilidad de jugar con una línea de tres o de cuatro.
La primera opción le dio buenos resultados contra España pero suspendió ante Holanda, e implica reforzar el centro del campo y dejar a Arturo Vidal como mediapunta.
ALINEACIONES PROBABLES:
Brasil: Julio César; Daniel Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Luiz Gustavo, Fernandinho, Oscar; Hulk, Neymar y Fred.
Seleccionador: Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Chile: Claudio Bravo; Eugenio Mena, Gonzalo Jara, Francisco Silva, Mauricio Isla; Arturo Vidal, Marcelo Díaz, Charles Aránguiz; Jorge Valdivia, Eduardo Vargas y Alexis Sánchez.

Alineaciones iniciales de ambas selecciones
En estas etapas finales del Mundial solo uno avanza y ambos eran conscientes de ello, por lo que salieron a ganar en el Mineirão. Los locales tomaron las riendas en la primer mitad basándose en el juego de asistido por Fred y Chile tampoco se quedo atrás; arrancó desde el inicio Gary Medel para hacer dupla con .
El primer tanto del partido fue obra de Brasil y llegó a los 19 minutos; un córner botado por Neymar que pivoteó le quedó de rebote a y entre este y la pelota terminó en el fondo de la meta chilena. Pero la mala fortuna no apaciguó a los chilenos que salieron a buscar el tanto de la igualdad que llegó convertido por Alexis Sánchez a los 31 minutos a raíz de error de Brasil en un saque de lateral de Marcelo para Hulk que Chile logró interceptar y poner el balón en el área para que Sánchez convalidara el tanto.
En el segundo tiempo el encuentro pasó a estar dominado por Chile, aunque sin generar demasiado peligro en el área de Júlio César, excepto en una gran ocasión de Aránguiz que sacó el guardameta brasileño. Scolari dio entrada a Ramires y Jo, pero sin variar el aspecto táctico, y los cambios no lograron darle más brillo al juego de su equipo. Solo con algunas acciones aisladas Brasil lograba llegar al arco defendido por Bravo, y se escucharon incluso pitos en el estadio. Los 90 minutos terminaron con el empate a un tanto y así se llegó a la primera prórroga del torneo.
Brasil, con Neymar al frente, intentó romper la paridad en el tiempo suplementario pero la defensa chilena lo impidió. Hulk se metió más en el área rival pero sin lograr vencer al arquero rival. El jugador chileno Pinilla estrelló un balón a la madera, en la que fue la ocasión más clara para la roja en el añadido. Terminó el suplemento sin goles y el reglamento indica que se debe definir por penales. Júlio César se convirtió en el héroe local al parar los dos primeros lanzamientos de Chile. Tras un fallo de William y otro penal parado por Bravo se llegó al último lanzamiento con empate a dos. Neymar no falló, y Jara estrelló el balón en el palo derecho, por lo tanto Brasil sigue en carrera.

en | Some feel better upon waking than others
A University of Colorado team found understanding and short-term memory were worse in the minutes after waking.
Their finding has implications for workers such as doctors on night-duty, who are awoken and immediately asked to perform important tasks.
The study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
For a short period, at least, the effects of sleep inertia may be as bad as or worse than being legally drunk
Professor Kenneth Wright, University of Colorado
After the study participants had had six nights of monitored sleep lasting eight hours per night, they were given a performance test that involved adding randomly generated, two-digit numbers.
Based on the results of this test, the researchers concluded the subjects exhibited the most severe impairments to their short-term memory, counting skills and cognitive abilities from sleep inertia within the first three minutes after awakening.
The most severe effects of sleep inertia generally dissipated within the first 10 minutes, although its effects were often detectable for up to two hours, they added.
'At risk'
None of the nine study participants had any medical, psychiatric or sleep disorders and were not using alcohol, nicotine, recreational drugs or caffeine.
They had also spent several hours each day practising the maths test used to quantify sleep inertia.
The study follows other research which has looked at the effects of going without sleep for over 24 hours - and found that has the same effect as being drunk.
Professor Kenneth Wright, who led the study, said: "This is the first time anyone has quantified the effects of sleep inertia.
"We found the cognitive skills of test subjects were worse upon awakening than after extended sleep deprivation.
"For a short period, at least, the effects of sleep inertia may be as bad as or worse than being legally drunk."
He said the explanation could be that certain areas of the brain take longer to "wake up".
Other research has found the prefrontal cortex - responsible for problem solving, emotion and complex thought - is one of those areas which takes longer to come "on-line" following sleep.
Professor Wright said doctors on night shifts, who may get awoken to treat an emergency, or ambulance workers and firefighters who may have to get up and drive to the scene of an incident, could be putting themselves - or others - at risk.
He said the study also illuminates the challenges faced by everyday people who are forced to make crucial decisions following abrupt awakening.
"If a person is awakened suddenly by a fire alarm, for example, motivation alone may be insufficient to overcome the effects of sleep inertia."
He said further research was needed to measure the effects of nap interruption and "recovery sleep" in on-call, sleep-deprived people.
'Waking time important'
Dr Neil Stanley, of the British Sleep Society, said: "There are a lot of people, like junior doctors, where it's not the number of hours they work that matters, it's when they sleep and how they feel when they wake up.
"Nobody should be doing anything really important for 15 to 30 minutes after they wake up."
He said people could perform less well than when they had been awake for a long time.
"If you are asleep, it's a much bigger transition to go from that to being awake than to stay awake, even for a long time, because then you'll be aware you are drowsy." | pt | Se você se sente sonolento e incapaz de realizar tarefas complexas quando acaba de acordar, você não é o único. Um estudo da Universidade do Colorado mostra que a capacidade mental de pessoas que acabam de acordar após uma boa noite de sono é menor do que a de pessoas que ficaram acordadas por 24 horas ou estão bêbadas.
A pesquisa foi realizada com indivíduos normais que eram acordados após 8 horas de sono e então sujeitos a testes cognitivos. Os pesquisadores verificaram a existência de uma "inércia do sono", período de até uma hora durante o qual o desempenho era muito prejudicando. O Professor Kenneth Wrights que lidera a pesquisa disse: "Os resultados dos pacientes recém-acordados foram piores dos que os que sofreram privação extrema de sono".
Segundo os cientistas, uma possível explicação é que há certas áreas do cérebro que demoram mais tempo para acordar e entre elas está o córtex pré-frontal, área responsável pela resolução de problemas.
O resultado é importante para profissões como médicos e bombeiros que são obrigados a tomar decisões importantes poucos minutos após serem acordados.
"Ninguém deveria fazer nada realmente importante de 15 a 30 minutos depois de acordar", disse o Dr Neil Stanley, da Sociedade Britância do Sono. |

es | La app de mensajería Telegram acaba de sumar videollamadas. El lanzamiento exhibe un breve historial a lo largo de 2020: en abril, los responsables de la herramienta celebraron al superar la marca de los 400 millones de usuarios activos y, al pasar, anunciaron que este mismo año sumarían llamadas con video. Luego, hacia fines de junio nos enteramos que habían comenzado las pruebas.
Tal como contamos en la ocasión, la función apareció en forma experimental en una beta de Telegram para iOS. Sin embargo, el despliegue ahora comienza en equipos con Android y no en los iPhone. Según nota The Next Web en su repaso, Apple rechazó esta actualización en primera instancia.

En tanto, el sistema operativo móvil de Google es el primer “terreno de pruebas” para esta función en el mensajero. Aunque también lo recibirán en iOS.
Agujas demoradas
Telegram es una app de mensajería que presume sus niveles de seguridad y privacidad. De hecho, su fundador apuntó en más de una ocasión los cañones contra WhatsApp, señalando que el servicio de Facebook espía las conversaciones de los usuarios y que siempre será una plataforma insegura. Además, aquel software lanzado en 2013 se ha caracterizado por llegar primero en muchos casos, lanzando funciones novedosas antes que sus competidores directos.
Exactly 7 years ago Telegram started as an iPhone app. Today we are launching encrypted Video Calls – first on Android due to reasons explained below. Unlike 2013, 2020 is a year when most mobile apps (including Telegram) are best used on an Android phone. https://t.co/e4BlUpLXsi — Pavel Durov (@durov) August 14, 2020
Sin embargo, en este caso ha llegado un poco tarde. Como es sabido, el uso de las videollamadas creció exponencialmente durante la pandemia, conforme millones de personas en diversos países se vieron obligados a trabajar desde sus casas, asistir a reuniones en forma remota, estudiar a distancia y mantener contacto con sus seres queridos a través de las pantallas. En ese contexto, mientras Zoom se consolidó como una de las opciones preferidas, muchos servicios mejoraron sus propuestas para las llamadas con video.
Telegram demoró pero, tal como señalamos, el despliegue ya comenzó. Usual en esa app, la seguridad es parte de la propuesta: dicen que las videollamadas están cifradas de extremo a extremo, tal como ocurre con los mensajes y los audios en esa aplicación.
Cabe notar que la opción, por el momento, está disponible para comunicaciones cara a cara entre dos usuarios, y no para los grupos; dicen que las mismas llegarán en los próximos meses.
Séptimo aniversario y nueva función en Telegram (Foto: Adobe Stock).
Un detalle: la flamante característica llega a Telegram en su séptimo aniversario. "En 2013, comenzamos como una pequeña app enfocada en la mensajería segura y desde entonces ha crecido hasta convertirse en una plataforma con más de 400 millones de usuarios (…) No alcanzamos este hito sólo por nuestra cuenta, ya que Telegram nunca ha hecho publicidad y cada usuario se ha unido gracias a la recomendación de alguien en quien confía”, señalan al respecto en un comunicado.
Más allá del debut en Android, se espera una pronta aprobación también en iOS.
Entre las características que destacan de la función mencionan la posibilidad de usar el modo “picture in picture”, para mantener la videollamada activa en un rincón de la pantalla y en simultáneo hacer otras tareas.

“Las videollamadas recibirán más características y mejoras en futuras versiones, mientras trabajamos para lanzar (la versión para los chats) grupales en los próximos meses. Pero para este hito de mitad de año, ahora podrás disfrutar de un pequeño momento a solas con los más cercanos, sin importar si están en la otra habitación o en otro continente”, dicen desde Telegram.

Telegram представил видеозвонки в приложении для Android, сообщается на сайте мессенджера.
«2020 год показал, что мир нуждается в надежных инструментах для видеосвязи, и сегодня мы запускаем альфа-версию видеозвонков в приложении для Android (на iOS звонки станут доступны как только это будет возможно)», — говорится в сообщении.
Для видеозвонка нужно нажать кнопку со значком камеры в профиле пользователя. В ходе разговора можно переключаться между голосовым звонком и видеозвонком, а также переписываться в чатах — для этого видеозвонок можно свернуть в небольшое окно в углу экрана.
Для защиты данных в видеозвонках используется оконечное, или сквозное, шифрование — когда доступ к информации есть только у людей, участвующих в общении. «Чтобы убедиться, что соединение безопасно, просто сравните четыре эмодзи, которые видите на экране вы и ваш собеседник: если символы совпадают, звонок надежно защищен шифрованием, которое используется для секретных чатов и голосовых звонков», — добавили в Telegram. | es | liberó la característica de videollamadas en su séptimo aniversario.

es | Es curioso, pero Telegram, que en otros ámbitos de la mensajería llegaba primera, ha tardado en ofrecer videollamadas. Comienza a hacerlo ahora con una versión alfa de unas videollamadas que eso sí, están cifradas de extremo a extremo.
En el anuncio oficial de la compañía sus responsables destacan como la pandemia de COVID-19 en este 2020 ha "destacado la necesidad de la comunicación cara a cara", y despliega una opción que por ahora no está disponible en formato de videollamadas grupales.
Videollamadas cifradas, las grupales llegarán en los próximos meses
El anuncio llega justo cuando la empresa celebra su séptimo cumpleaños, y tras todo este tiempo se ha convertido en una gran alternativa a otras aplicaciones de mensajería.
Cuenta con 400 millones de usuarios, y todos ellos podrán por fin comenzar a utilizar estas videollamadas de persona a persona tanto en iOS como en Android.
En estas llamadas los usuarios podrán cambiar del chat a la videollamada en cualquier momento, y además es posible acceder a un modo de Picture-in-Picture (PiP) que permite hacer scroll en la conversación o hacer otras tareas (por ejemplo, buscar algún dato en el cliente de correo del móvil o en el navegador) mientras se mantiene ese contacto visual.
Una de las opciones destacables de estas videollamadas es el cifrado de extremo a extremo que ya estaba disponible en las llamadas de audio y en los chats, y los responsables ofrecen detalles sobre ese cifrado e invitan a cualquiera a auditar su código Open Source.
De momento no es posible realizar videollamadas grupales, pero prometen tenerlas listas "en los próximos meses", y veremos si entonces la opción logra convertir a esta aplicación de mensajería en otra de las grandes protagonistas en un segmento que ahora parece dominado por Zoom o Teams y en el que las grandes de la mensajería tradicional (WhatsApp o Google Meet como ejemplo frente a nuevas y originales rivales) llevan tiempo tratando de recuperar terreno.

CHONGQING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Death toll rose to 30 after five more bodies were recovered in a colliery gas burst Saturday in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, according to local coal mine safety authorities.
The accident happened around 11 a.m. at Tonghua Coal Mine in Anwen Town of Qijiang County, when 131 miners were working underground. One hundred and one miners were rescued.
Of the rescued, 59 miners were injured, including four in serious condition.
The cause of the accident is being investigated.
The Tonghua Coal Mine, with a history of more than 50 years, is affiliated to the state-owned Songzao Mining Bureau of Chongqing. The colliery's designed production capacity is 300,000 tonnes per year, which now has been expanded to 600,000 tonnes.

BEIJING (AFP) — Twenty-five miners were killed and 20 trapped by a gas explosion at a coal mine in southwest China on Saturday, state media reported.
The accident occurred at 11:00 am (0300 GMT) when 131 miners were working underground at the Tonghua Coal Mine in Anwen town, Chongqing municipality, but 86 escaped, Xinhua news agency said, citing local officials.
Rescuers had recovered 25 bodies but had not yet been able to reach the 20 trapped miners due to the dangerous levels of gas, it said.
The cause of the accident was being investigated.
China's coal mines are notoriously dangerous. Official figures show that more than 3,200 workers died in collieries last year, but independent observers say the actual figure could be much higher, as many accidents are covered up.

El seleccionado argentino de fútbol superó por 2 a 0, como visitante, a Perú y sumó su tercera victoria en cuatro presentaciones en la eliminatoria sudamericana para el Mundial de Qatar en 2022, con lo que sigue como escolta de Brasil en la tabla de posiciones.
Con el triunfo en el estadio Nacional de Lima, Argentina se recuperó del empate como local ante Paraguay en la jornada anterior y alcanzó 10 puntos en la eliminatoria, dos menos que el líder Brasil. Perú ocupa el último puesto junto con Bolivia, ambos con un punto.
Lautaro convirtió el 2 a 0 Fuente: AP
En un partido que comenzó con muchas imprecisiones y sin un claro dominador, Argentina abrió el marcador a los 16 minutos por intermedio de un remate cruzado de Nicolás González, luego de una buena jugada entre Giovani Lo Celso y Nicolás Tagliafico por el sector izquierdo. A partir de la ventaja, el seleccionado argentino aprovechó la falta de reacción de Perú y manejó el balón con comodidad. El segundo gol llegó a los 27 minutos a través de Lautaro Martínez, gracias a una gambeta larga al arquero Pedro Gallese tras un pase profundo de Leandro Paredes.
En la segunda etapa, Perú cambió su actitud ante la necesidad de descontar en el marcador, por lo cual logró en los primeros minutos controlar la pelota y llevar peligro a la portería de Argentina por intermedio de pelotas detenidas y remates de larga distancia. Sin embargo, el conjunto albiceleste se recuperó a partir de los 60 minutos y contó con las mejores ocasiones para convertir con Messi, Lucas Ocampos y Ángel Di María, pero faltó puntería para superar a Gallese y lograr una goleada. En la próxima doble fecha de eliminatoria, que se disputará en marzo, Argentina recibirá a Uruguay y posteriormente irá a Brasil.

El seleccionado argentino derrotó a Perú por 2 a 0 en Lima en la cuarta fecha de las eliminatorias sudamericanas rumbo a Qatar 2022 y Lionel Messi dejó en claro que quiere seguir luchando por la camiseta argentina. "Estoy contento por la victoria; la necesitábamos después del partido del otro día, que no pudimos ganar. Fuimos superiores. Hicimos un grandísimo partido, convertimos, creamos situaciones. Se ganó y sumar es buenísimo", valoró el capitán, de notorio buen humor.
Messi, que alcanzó en el segundo puesto de presencia en el seleccionado a Javier Zanetti, con 142 (a cinco del récord de Javier Mascherano), extendió su comentario. "Fuimos superiores desde el principio, con muchas ocasiones de gol. Es importante ganar en las eliminatorias, que siempre son complicadas".
Parte del análisis del rosarino fue por comparación con lo producido frente a Paraguay en el 1-1 del último jueves en La Bombonera. "El segundo tiempo del otro día fue bueno. Fuimos superiores pero nos faltó el gol. Y hoy seguimos en la misma línea pero convertimos. Incluso levantamos un poquito". La producción colectiva entusiasmó a Messi, que rescató: "Éste es el camino que tenemos que seguir. Vamos haciéndonos fuertes como equipo y como grupo".

El periodista local que habló con el argentino en el campo de juego le preguntó sobre lo que se estuvo planteando en el ambiente tras el empate con los paraguayos: que Messi no es el de antes, que por su edad (33 años) no volverá a serlo. Calmo, de buen talante, el número 10 respondió: "Intento dar el máximo. Me veo capacitado para hacerlo, para ayudar al grupo y seguir peleando por la camiseta. Me siento bien y si el técnico decide que esté, voy a estar. Me siento bien como para seguir sumando partidos y victorias como ésta", concluyó, satisfecho como desde hacía un tiempo no se lo notaba.

es | Ricardo Gareca , estratega de la selección peruana, asumió la principal responsabilidad después de que su equipo solo haya conseguido un punto en las primeras cuatro jornadas de las Eliminatorias rumbo a Qatar 2022 , pero afirmó que las opciones de clasificarse “están intactas”.
Tras perder este martes por 0-2 contra Argentina y acumular por primera vez tres derrotas consecutivas desde que está en el banquillo de Perú, el entrenador argentino admitió que no esperaba un arranque tan malo en el certamen.
“Hemos retrocedido respecto a lo que podemos dar. Llevamos seis años al frente de la selección y estar en una situación así no era algo que tuviésemos planificado”, reconoció Gareca.
El técnico argentino recordó que a Perú le ha tocado enfrentarse a grandes selecciones como Brasil y Argentina en este inicio de eliminatorias, pero reconoció que a su equipo le han hecho demasiados goles.
“No hay posibilidad de mejorar si recibimos tantos goles”, señaló el técnico respecto a los diez goles que ha recibido en estos cuatro encuentros.
Preguntado por las razones del bajo rendimiento de Perú en estos dos últimos meses, Gareca aseguró que desconoce los motivos y apuntó a que puede deberse a las vicisitudes propias del contexto de la pandemia del covid-19.
“Algunos se acomodaron mejor después de lo que nos tocó vivir en este año y a nosotros nos costó más. Ojalá que se pueda revertir el próximo año”, deseó el seleccionador.
“Teniendo un equipo altamente competitivo, me siento el responsable mayor. Perú tiene todas las posibilidades de revertirla con el tiempo y esperar el año que viene. Dios mediante entrar de otra manera”, añadió.
Para Gareca, la clave será “recuperar lo de antes, esa convicción que caracterizó siempre a Perú”.
“Hay que seguir trabajando. Se ha intentado, pero hemos tenido imponderables a lo largo de todo lo que fue el año. Es un momento duro. Las clasificatorias son en general muy cambiantes y creo que las chances están intactas. Perú tiene las chances. De eso estoy totalmente convencido”, concluyó.

Uruguay se quedó con dos triunfos y dos derrotas.

Ecuador es la gran sorpresa hasta el momento tras ganar tres de las cuatro primeras jornadas y golear de forma contundente a una Colombia que ha quedado muy tocada tras las dos últimas jornadas y recibir 9 goles en apenas cuatro días.

Eduard Khil (znany też jako Mr.Trololo) zmarł 4 czerwca 2012 roku, w wieku 77 lat, w Petersburskim Instytucie Neurologii. Przyczyną jego śmierci były komplikacje związane z przebytym w kwietniu udarem mózgu.

pl | Mr. Trololo nie żyje
Foto: EASTNEWS Rosyjski młody baryton sławę zdobył w latach 60. i 70.
Zmarł rosyjski piosenkarz Eduard Hil, którego piosenka popularnie zwana "Trololo" stała się kilka lat temu sensacją internetu. Khil miał 77 lat. Od tygodnia przebywał w szpitalu w Petersburgu w stanie śpiączki po udarze mózgu.
Piosenkarz zmarł w poniedziałek rano w Instytucie Neurologii w Petersburgu - poinformowała rosyjska agencja informacyjna Ria Nowosti. Trafił tam pod koniec maja, gdy doznał udaru mózgu.
Był w stanie śpiączki, a jego życie podtrzymywała aparatura na oddziale intensywnej terapii. Lekarze walczyli o jego życie, przyznając jednak, że stan jest bardzo ciężki, bo wiele ważnych funkcji mózgu zostało nieodwracalnie uszkodzonych. Mimo operacji, Eduarda Hila nie udało się uratować. Miał 77 lat. Źródło: materiały prasowe Eduard Khil w ojczyźnie był jednym z najpopularniejszych artystów, nagrał wiele przebojowych płyt
Zostawił żonę Zoyę Pravdinę, byłą primabalerinę i syna Dymitra, z którym od 1997 roku współtworzył zespół Prepinaki, a także wnuka Eduarda.
Cenzura zabroniła kowboja
Hil zdobył niespodziewaną sławę w 2010 roku. Wtedy jego piosenka"I Am So Happy to Finally Be Back Home" ("Cieszę się, bo jestem w końcu w domu") stała się hitem internetu i obiektem setek przeróbek. W utworze nie padają słowa, składa się on jedynie z wokalizy. Powód? Pieśń - jak tłumaczył sam Hil - opowiadała o kowboju na koniu wracającym przez prerię na farmę w stanie Kentucky, ale w 1976 roku, gdy powstała, cenzura sowiecka zabroniła jej wykonywania, bo miała zbyt duży związek z amerykańskim stylem życia.
50 lat później anglojęzyczni internauci, którzy wyłowili z wokaliz sylaby "tro-lo-lo", nazwali ją po prostu "Trololo", a wykonawcy nadali pseudonim Mr. Trololo. W ciągu zaledwie kilku dni hit zdobył ponad 2 miliony wyświetleń na YouTube, a do dziś oryginał obejrzało ok. 15 milionów osób.
Hil był zadowolony z powodu międzynarodowej sławy. - Co mogę powiedzieć? Popularność jest zawsze miła. Dziękuję za dobrą nowinę - tak zareagował na wiadomość, że jego piosenka stała się internetową sensacją.
Ulubiony piosenkarz Putina
Ten fenomen pomógł mu także w ojczyźnie, gdzie wraz z upadkiem Związku Radzieckiego popadł w zapomnienie - wraz z "Trololo" wrócił na scenę. Był częstym gościem telewizyjnych programów, a także moskiewskich klubów, gdzie podczas koncertów witano go owacjami na stojąco.
Khil jak Obama - internauci zrobili kopię słynnego plakatu z prezydentem USA
Starsza i młodsza publiczność chętnie słuchała również innych utworów, które nagrał w czasach sowieckich, gdy był jednym jednym z najbardziej popularnych wykonawców. W latach 60. i 70. ubiegłego wieku czarował swoim barytonem lirycznym (zaczynał jako śpiewak operowy), estradową charyzmą i optymizmem na scenie (zawsze się uśmiechał). Spodobał się także w Paryżu, gdzie wyjechał na tournee w 1980 roku, jako jeden z niewielu artystów z ZSRR - w kabarecie "Rasputin" podziwiali go m.in. prezydent Francji François Mitterrand i sławna piosenkarka Mireille Mathieu.
Mr. Trololo był też jednym z ulubionych piosenkarzy Władimira Putina. W 2010 roku na imprezie charytatywnej w Moskwie, gdy Putin był jeszcze premierem, pierwszą piosenkę jaką zagrał na fortepianie, była "Where the Motherland Begins" Khila. Zagrał ją dla gwiazd, które zasiadły na widowni: m.in. Sharon Stone, Kevina Costnera, Monici Bellucci i Gerarda Deparieu.
Rok wcześniej, na 75 urodziny Khila Putin odznaczył go Orderem Zasługi dla Ojczyzny. | pl | Eduard Khil

en | Jury: Moussaoui is eligible for death
Al Qaeda operative testified he knew in advance of attacks
From Phil Hirschkorn
CNN
Zacarias Moussaoui is the only person to stand trial in the U.S. in connection with the 9/11 attacks. QUICKVOTE Do you think Zacarias Moussaoui should get the death penalty? Yes No or View Results RELATED YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Trials Capital Punishment September 11 attacks Zacarias Moussaoui or or Create Your Own
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui is eligible for the death penalty, a federal jury decided Monday in the first U.S. trial about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Jurors agreed with federal prosecutors that Moussaoui's lies to FBI agents resulted in 9/11 deaths.
The nine men and three women reached their verdict on the fourth day of deliberations. (Watch how jury decided points of verdict -- 2:09)
Surrounded by U.S. Marshals, Moussaoui refused to stand and showed no reaction as the verdict was read. After jurors left the courtroom he shouted, "You'll never get my blood. God curse you all."
Six 9/11 family members were in court for the verdict. Lisa Dolan pumped her fist slightly as it was announced.
Her husband, Bob, a U.S. Navy captain, was killed at the Pentagon. "It was important to all the family members that it go onto the next phase so the impact statements are heard," she said.
Carie Lemack, whose mother, Judy Larocque, was aboard the first plane that crashed into the trade center, watched the verdict on a closed-circuit broadcast to families in Boston, where both trade center flights originated.
"We don't want to make him a martyr," she told CNN. "The last thing that a lot of us want to see happen is to allow him to die with the name martyr by his side." (Full story)
Trial continues
"We are pleased with the jury's ruling in this important case," said Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos. "Our efforts on behalf of the victims of 9/11 will continue as we pursue the next phase of this trial."
The verdict means the trial, held only to determine Moussaoui's punishment, will proceed to a second phase, with additional witnesses and evidence, beginning Thursday.
The jurors now must decide whether Moussaoui will be executed for his role in the 9/11 deaths.
Moussaoui, 37, a Frenchman of Moroccan descent, admitted last year that he conspired with al Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for September 11, to hijack and crash planes into prominent U.S. buildings.
Until he testified at the trial, Moussaoui insisted he had no advance knowledge of or role in the plot. But on the witness stand, Moussaoui claimed he knew the World Trade Center was a target and that he would have piloted a fifth jetliner into the White House. (Full story)
In the second phase of the sentencing trial, prosecutors plan to tell the jury stories of dozens of September 11 victims. About 40 relatives will describe the impact of their losses.
Defense witnesses are expected to describe Moussaoui's troubled family history, his struggles with racism and relocation in France and his vulnerability to radical fundamentalist Islamic recruiters. Mental health experts are expected to say Moussaoui is schizophrenic. (Watch Moussaoui's mom talk about his fondness for American films -- 2:22)
Focus on statements
The first phase of the trial revolved around Moussaoui's statements to the FBI following his arrest in mid-August 2001 after arousing suspicions at a Minnesota flight school.
Moussaoui said he was in flight school for fun and was visiting the United States as a tourist. Moussaoui concealed his al Qaeda ties, his real reason for jet simulator training and the hijackings conspiracy itself.
Prosecutors needed to prove Moussaoui lied intentionally and with lethal intent. His surprising testimony, as the last defense witness, became the centerpiece of the trial.
"I didn't say the truth," Moussaoui testified. "Because I am al Qaeda. Because I am at war with this country."
Prosecutor Robert Spencer asked him, "The reason you lied was to allow the people that you knew were in the United States to go forward with the hijackings, right?"
Moussaoui replied, "You can say that."
Moussaoui testified that the Prophet Mohammed, the patriarch of Islam, taught, "War is deceit." Lying is permissible during jihad, or holy war, Moussaoui added. "You are allowed any technique to deceive your enemy."
Although there was no evidence Moussaoui had any contact with the 19 September 11 hijackers in the United States, his actions -- attending flight schools, joining gyms, wearing casual Western clothing, trimming his beard -- echoed theirs.
Moussaoui 'in the middle of it'
"These similarities can't be dismissed as mere coincidence," prosecutor David Raskin said in closing arguments. "He was in the middle of it, just like he told you from the witness stand."
A top aviation security official, Robert Cammaroto, testified that had Moussaoui told the truth in August, the Federal Aviation Administration could have issued security directives banning passengers from carrying short knives, screening luggage and conducting physical searches of passengers and carry-on bags. (Full story)
Cammaroto said had the hijackers' names been revealed, they could have been added to a "no-fly" list.
"Between the FBI and the FAA, none of them would have been able to get on any of those planes," prosecutor Raskin told the jury.
Prosecutors argued that Moussaoui's lies directly resulted in deaths because one hijacking pilot or crew could have been stopped, and some of the 2,973 people killed on September 11 would be alive today.
Defense attorney Edward MacMahon portrayed his client as an untrusted "grifter" who traveled alone, not in pairs like the real hijackers, and did not participate in any coast-to-coast dry run flights. He told jurors to discount Moussaoui's testimony.
'Headache' for al Qaeda
"Moussaoui was never slated other than his dreams to be involved," MacMahon said. "Moussaoui was useless to al Qaeda, a headache, obnoxious to everyone he encountered."
MacMahon told jurors the September 11 attack date was not fixed until after Moussaoui's arrest, and there was no evidence of a fifth targeted plane.
The defense sought to poke holes in the government theory that the pre-9/11 "dysfunctional" government would have responded rapidly to Moussaoui's "truth."
MacMahon said the "could have" scenario is "nothing but a dream" and admonished jurors not to view the case through "post-9/11 glasses."
FBI headquarters thwarted Agent Harry Samit's efforts to obtain search warrants, the evidence showing he sent 70 warnings about Moussaoui.
Two supervisors Samit labeled "criminally negligent" were later promoted. One wrote in an early Moussaoui assessment: "There's no indication of nefarious activity here." (Full story) | en | A United States federal fuckin' damned jury found that self-confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui may, according to U.S. law, be put to death after deciding that his statements to FBI agents led directly to at least one death in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Moussaoui is alleged to have had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, but did not inform FBI agents of it. Evidence of Moussaoui's knowledge of 9/11 attacks are based on Moussaoui's own testimony, and some al-Qaida members have said that "he knew nothing" and is "boasting" of it and that Ramzi Binalshibh is the actual '20th hijacker'. Aaron Zebley, one of the FBI's two chief case agents on the Moussaoui investigation, also testified that "Moussaoui knew nothing about some key elements" of the 9/11 plot.
Moussaoui is the only person to face charges in connection with the 9/11 attacks. It was not expected that Moussaoui would testify on his own behalf during the trial, but he changed his mind and testified in the last week of March that he was supposed to fly a plane with the "shoe bomber" on 9/11. Moussaoui's lawyers said that his claim was absurd and that Moussaoui was intentionally trying to elicit an execution for martyrdom purposes.
Moussaoui refused to stand and prayed silently as the verdict was read. "You'll never get my blood, God curse you all," Moussaoui said after the jurors had left the courtroom.
The jury took four days to arrive at the verdict. "By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case," a court spokesman said. On the key question before the jurors, they answered yes on whether at least one victim died on 9/11 as a direct result of Moussaoui's actions.
If the jury had voted against his eligibility for the death penalty, Moussaoui would have been sentenced to life in prison.
The jury began weighing Moussaoui's fate last Wednesday. During its deliberations, jurors asked only one question, seeking a definition of a "weapon of mass destruction." One of the three convictions for which Moussaoui could be put to death is conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.
The jurors were told that a plane used as a missile (the tactic employed on 9/11) qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction.
Moussaoui pleaded guilty April 2005 to conspiring with al-Qaida to hijack aircraft and other crimes. At the time, he denied being part of the 9/11 plot, saying he was being trained for a separate attack, but he changed his testimony when he took the stand and claimed he was supposed to have flown a hijacked jetliner into the White House that day.
Moussaoui was in jail at the time of the attacks, but prosecutors argue federal agents would have been able to stop or at least minimize the attacks if he had revealed his al-Qaida membership and his terrorist plans when he was arrested and interrogated by federal agents.

But if you’re just using your pan to cook the occasional burger, then you’re missing out; you really can cook pretty much anything in it. | en | A United States federal fuckin' damned jury found that self-confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui may, according to U.S. law, be put to death after deciding that his statements to FBI agents led directly to at least one death in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Moussaoui is alleged to have had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, but did not inform FBI agents of it. Evidence of Moussaoui's knowledge of 9/11 attacks are based on Moussaoui's own testimony, and some al-Qaida members have said that "he knew nothing" and is "boasting" of it and that Ramzi Binalshibh is the actual '20th hijacker'. Aaron Zebley, one of the FBI's two chief case agents on the Moussaoui investigation, also testified that "Moussaoui knew nothing about some key elements" of the 9/11 plot.
Moussaoui is the only person to face charges in connection with the 9/11 attacks. It was not expected that Moussaoui would testify on his own behalf during the trial, but he changed his mind and testified in the last week of March that he was supposed to fly a plane with the "shoe bomber" on 9/11. Moussaoui's lawyers said that his claim was absurd and that Moussaoui was intentionally trying to elicit an execution for martyrdom purposes.
Moussaoui refused to stand and prayed silently as the verdict was read. "You'll never get my blood, God curse you all," Moussaoui said after the jurors had left the courtroom.
The jury took four days to arrive at the verdict. "By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case," a court spokesman said. On the key question before the jurors, they answered yes on whether at least one victim died on 9/11 as a direct result of Moussaoui's actions.
If the jury had voted against his eligibility for the death penalty, Moussaoui would have been sentenced to life in prison.
The jury began weighing Moussaoui's fate last Wednesday. During its deliberations, jurors asked only one question, seeking a definition of a "weapon of mass destruction." One of the three convictions for which Moussaoui could be put to death is conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.
The jurors were told that a plane used as a missile (the tactic employed on 9/11) qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction.
Moussaoui pleaded guilty April 2005 to conspiring with al-Qaida to hijack aircraft and other crimes. At the time, he denied being part of the 9/11 plot, saying he was being trained for a separate attack, but he changed his testimony when he took the stand and claimed he was supposed to have flown a hijacked jetliner into the White House that day.
Moussaoui was in jail at the time of the attacks, but prosecutors argue federal agents would have been able to stop or at least minimize the attacks if he had revealed his al-Qaida membership and his terrorist plans when he was arrested and interrogated by federal agents.

es | Tan grande fue la espera como el desahogo para este River, que mereció quedarse con este título de principio a fin. Demostró ser más que cualquier rival que se interpuso en su camino y coronó un año soñado, con la obtención de una copa internacional luego de 17 años, tras la Supercopa del 97. Claro que no hay que olvidar que en la instancia anterior, estuvo Boca del otro lado, algo que hace enaltecer aún más a los protagonistas, comandados por Gallardo.
La suerte le había sido esquiva en la Sudamericana de 2003 ante Cienciano y el "Millonario" salió a comerse a Atlético Nacional en el Monumental. No brilló en la primera etapa pero tuvo un vértigo necesario para crear peligro en varias oportunidades a Franco Armani, la figura excluyente en los primeros 45 minutos. El arquero argentino, confeso hincha de la "Banda", le tapó cuatro pelotas de gol a Teófilo Gutiérrez y otra a Carlos Sánchez. Bajó la persiana del arco.
Los colombianos esperaron más de la cuenta, aunque tuvieron un par de ocasiones en las que podrían haber roto el cero. Ruiz, de derecha, buscó el segundo palo pero se le fue apenas desviada y más tarde Barovero (¿cuándo no?) sacó con su pie derecho una bola que tenía destino de red. Edwin Cardona ya se llenaba la boca de gol, pero se tomó la cabeza frente a semejante atajada del '1' de River. En el entretiempo, reinó la incertidumbre en el estadio.
Sin embargo, el público que reventó las tribunas del Monumental, brindó su empuje más allá del arranque promisorio del elenco "verde", que sin llegar a ser incisivo en ataque, preocupó a Barovero. De repente, la solución a todos los problemas estuvieron en la pelota parada y el juego aéreo, una fórmula que le rindió al cuadro del "Muñeco", cada vez que no pudo hacer prevalecer la asociación entre sus elementos y pasar la pelota al ras del suelo.
Con dos jugadas calcadas, Gabriel Mercado y Germán Pezzella dejaron sin chances a Armani, quien se enfureció con los compañeros, por la liviandad para marcar a los defensores rivales. Desde ese momento, el partido entró en un pozo y el tiempo se detuvo. Los cambios no le surtieron efecto a Osorio, mientras del banco local, saltaban a la cancha Kranevitter y Cavenaghi, dos que tuvieron que sufrir por respectivas lesiones pero celebraron sobre el final.
La fiesta fue completa y el sexto título internacional no se hizo esperar. Puede ser que venga con otro, ya que próximamente River afrontará la Recopa Sudamericana contra San Lorenzo, que es el vigente campeón de la Libertadores. Pero antes de meterse de lleno en la definición del campeonato local (el domingo visitará a Quilmes, esperando por un tropezón de Racing), tendrá tiempo de festejar como merece esta Sudamericana 2014. ¡Felicitaciones, campeón! | es | se consagró este miércoles pasado campeón de la 2014 al derrotar al en el en , el primer título internacional en 17 años. Los dos goles fueron casi iguales, dos pelotas paradas ejecutadas por Pisculichi que terminaron en las cabezas de Mercado y de Pezella en el inicio del segundo tiempo.
El partido empezó con nerviosismo y apretado, se cometieron muchas infracciones, y los colombianos salieron a buscar el partido y meterle presión a los millonarios, pero River empezó a mostrar a quién sería su jugador más desequilibrante, , quién a los dos minutos probó un tiro libre que supo atajar correctamente el arquero .
Los colombianos no se quedaron atrás y a los siete minutos contraatacó con un tiro libre que pasó cerca del arco de . Transcurría el partido y el primer cuarto de hora estuvo lleno de faltas. Pisculichi exigió a Armani con un centro que terminó en el arco y que el arquero logró despejar, aunque no evitó el rebote y Carlos Sánchez logró conectarlo con el pie y exigió nuevamente al arquero que voló sobre el arco izquierdo atajando nuevamente el remate y salvando la caída de su valla. A los quince minutos subió Sánchez al área dejando a Gutiérrez de cara al gol y rematando cruzado sin éxito gracias a la destreza nuevamente de Armani que salva a su arco de la caída.
El resto del primer tiempo prosiguió con el dominio riverplatense aunque sin lograr abrir el marcador. Hubo un desborde de Mora para Teo que definió de palomita pero se encontró con la firme presencia de Armani para evitar el gol. A la media hora del primer tiempo otra vez Armani tuvo que intervenir para evitar la caída de su valla cuando Teo quedó cara a cara frente a él y se preparaba para definir. Y sobre el final del primer tiempo Teo Gutiérrez desperdició una de las jugadas más claras de todo el primer tiempo tras una pelota que le pasó Mora que lo puso cara a cara frente al arquero pero tardó mucho tiempo en dominar la pelota y Armani se le tiró a los pies.
El Atlético Nacional no se rendía pero sus volantes Bocanegra por la derecha y Díaz por la izquierda no lograban encontrar o lo hacían muy lento a Mejía y a Cardona que eran los encargados de organizar el juego colombiano. Empezó el segundo tiempo con dos ataques del Nacional de Medellín de tiro libre. Valencia ejecutó el suyo por afuera de la barrera y el segundo lo ejecutó Cardona pero pegó en la barrera.
Y llegó el momento de los goles, dos tiros de esquinas en cinco minutos, los dos ejecutados excepcionalmente por Pisculichi que los puso en las cabezas de Gabriel Mercado el primero y en la de Pezzella el segundo y ambas terminaron colocadas de cabeza dentro del arco. Empezaba a consagrarse campeón del torneo y la gente a festejar. El Nacional bajó los brazos y se quedó sin fuerzas para seguir atacando a pesar de agotar los cambios. Y ya terminando el partido, el técnico Gallardo sacó a las figuras de la cancha, Teo primero, Ponzio después y Pisculichi al final.
Después de la Supercopa obtenida en 1994, hace 17 años, River Plate vuelve a festejar títulos internacionales. |
es | De cerrar heridas se trató esta Copa Sudamericana para River, que derrotó 2-0 a Atlético Nacional y volvió a gritar campeón en el continente después de 17 años. Porque una vez perdió con Cienciano de Perú y esta noche se sacó también esa espina. Porque en las semifinales dejó eliminado a Boca, algo que nunca había logrado en un cruce directo con el rival de siempre. Y porque espantó a esos fantasmas clásicos de sábanas blancas hasta los pies... El equipo de Marcelo Gallardo fue el mejor del torneo y logró el título con momentos de alto nivel. En la final de vuelta, en el Monumental, lo resolvió con dos pelotas paradas de Leonardo Pisculichi para las cabezas de Gabriel Mercado primero y de Germán Pezzella después en cinco minutos de furia en el inicio del segundo tiempo. River otra vez salió a copar el continente, como en el último grito de la Supercopa 97.
El partido empezó con tensión, con muchas faltas. Pero el equipo visitante demostró que no viajó a Buenos Aires para defenderse. El 3-4-1-2 de Juan Carlos Osorio salió a presionar a River. Pero el local empezó a imponerse en el terreno de juego gracias a su jugador más desequilibrante: Pisculichi. A los 2, probó de tiro libre, pero respondió bien el arquero argentino Franco Armani. A los 7, contestó Edwin Cardona con un tiro libre que se fue cerca del travesaño del arco de Marcelo Barovero.
En el primer cuarto de hora el partido era parejo y abundaban las faltas. Otra vez Pisculichi lo probó a Armani con un centro-arco que el arquero despejó, pero en el rebote Carlos Sánchez conectó con todo el pie y otra vez el arquero despejó el peligro con una volada sobre su palo izquierdo. River estaba cerca. Y siguió merodeando el área rival: a los 11, Leonel Vangioni armó una pared con Rodrigo Mora por izquierda y sacó un centro pasado que Teófilo Gutiérrez cabeceó desviado. Y a los 15, tras una trepada de Sánchez, Gutiérrez quedó de cara al gol y definió cruzado, pero otra vez apareció la figura de Armani para ahogarle el grito.
Los siguientes 15 minutos fueron como los anteriores. Es decir que River dominó en la primera media hora del partido, aunque no pudo quebrar a Atlético Nacional. Siguió generando situaciones de riesgo, tuvo una ráfaga entre los 27 y los 31 donde pudo convertir con oportunidades claras. La primera tras un desborde de Mora y centro para Teo que definió de palomita. Tapó Armani. A los 30, Pisculichi habilitó a Teo que enganchó e hizo pasar de largo a Nájera, quedó de cara al gol y sacó el derechazo, pero débil y Armani otra vez se lució. A los 31, otra vez Teo se metió en el área por izquierda y le pegó de zurda, cruzado. El arquero otra vez se mostraba imbatible.
Atlético Nacional siempre tuvo la intención de salir jugando y ser prolijo con la pelota. Pero tanto Bocanegra por la derecha, como Díaz por izquierda tardaban mucho en encontrar a Mejía o Cardona, los dos encargados de darle juego al equipo. Entonces River recuperaba rápido la pelota. Sin embargo, cuando el visitante rompía con la línea de presión del rival llegaba con peligro al arco de Barovero y en los últimos 15 minutos del primer tiempo emparejó el partido.
A los 32, Luis Ruiz encaró de izquierda a derecha y sacó el remate de frente al arco. Se fue apenas al lado del palo izquierdo. Después desbordó por izquierda y envió un centro que terminaba en gol si le llegaba a Berrío, pero el arquero puso la mano casi por casualidad y se quedó con la pelota. Pero la más clara llegó a los 39, salió Ruiz del área y Berrió tocó para Cardona que se metió por el espacio vacío y quedó mano a mano. Le pegó de derecha, pero Barovero le sacó el gol con el pie derecho.
Pero sobre el final, Teo Gutiérrez tuvo la jugada más clara del primer tiempo. Tras un pelotazo intrascendente, Mora armó una jugada de gol. Se sacó de encima a su marcador y tocó desde el piso para Teo, que se fue solo para enfrentar al arquero. Gutiérrez demoró una vida en dominar la pelota y cuando se acomodó Armani ya se le había tirado a los pies. Increíble.
El inicio del segundo tiempo avisaba: el que se quedaba sin piernas primero iba a tratar de aguantar hasta los penales. Entonces, la pelota parada empezó a ser un factor clave. En los primeros minutos, Atlético Nacional tuvo dos tiros libres de frente al arco. El primero lo ejecutó Juan Valencia, por afuera de la barrera, pero Barovero se quedó con la pelota casi sin esfuerzo. El segundo lo tiró Cardona, a la barrera.
Y cuando River respondió fue contundente. Tiro de esquina desde la izquierda, la rosca de Pisculichi para un centro al corazón del área que se aleja del arquero. Apareció Gabriel Mercado para ganarle a Ruiz, su marcador, y meter la frente. La pelota picó y se metió contra el palo izquierdo de Armani para el 1-0 y el estallido del Monumental. Cinco minutos más tarde, otra vez córner, otra vez Pisculichi y esta vez Pezzella metió un cabezazo furioso que se metió en el mismo lugar que el anterior. Golazo y 2-0 para que la Copa Sudamericana empiece a sentirse en casa. Cinco minutos de furia, dos córners, dos cabezazos y el título a un puñado de minutos de distancia.
El final fue para que la gente de River festeje en las tribunas. Osorio agotó rápido los cambios, pero en media hora que le quedó al partido no le hizo ni cosquillas a Barovero. Y Gallardo aprovechó para que la gente ovacionara a los protagonistas de los cambios: Fernando Cavenaghi por Teo primero, Matías Kranevitter por Ponzio después y Sebastián Driussi por Pisculichi al final. Fue emoción y delirio para los hinchas, que volvieron a sentirse los dueños de América, después de casi dos décadas y tras una temporada en el olvido de la B Nacional.

CARLOS FRESNEDA
NUEVA YORK.- Sarah Palin ha decidido plantarle cara a los asesores de John McCain y se ha desmarcado por su cuenta y riesgo de la línea marcada por la campaña. A falta de 10 días para las elecciones, la guerra soterrada entre los hombres de confianza del candidato presidencial y la aspirante a vicepresidenta ha saltado a la luz pública y amenaza con dinamitar desde dentro la campaña del republicano.
"Sarah Palin ha perdido la confianza de los asesores que viajan con ella", admitieron fuentes cercanas a McCain a la web Politico.com. "Sarah Palin es una diva y no acepta consejos de nadie, de ninguno de nosotros y ni siquiera de su propia familia", declaró otro asesor del republicano a la CNN.
Los asesores directos de la gobernadora de Alaska acusaron entre tanto a dos asesores de McCain, Steve Schmidt y Nicole Wallace, de intentar culpar a Palin por el fiasco de la campaña. La candidata ha replicado relegando a los ex asesores de Bush empotrados en sus filas, Randy Scheunemann y Tucker Eskew, y protestando abiertamente por el blindaje que han impuesto sobre ella los máximos responsables de la campaña.
Las tensiones internas entre las facciones de McCain y Palin se larvaron desde que la gobernadora criticó la decisión de la campaña de retirar los efectivos y renunciar al estado de Michigan. La semana pasada, cuando Palin intentó responder directamente a las preguntas de los periodistas a su paso por Colorado, el asesor Steve Schmidt –máximo estratega de McCain- intervino personalmente y trató de suspender varias veces el intercambio de preguntas y respuestas con la prensa.
El efecto Palin, entre tanto, empieza a pesar como un lastre en las encuentas. Según un sondeo de la ABC y el Washington Post, seis de cada diez norteamericanos opina que "no está cualificada para ser presidenta" si llegara el caso y uno de cada tres votantes admite que su elección ha sido clave para que decidan no votar a McCain. | es | Acusan a Sarah Palin de ser una "diva"
La republicana Sarah Palin, compañera de fórmula de John McCain a la Presidencia de los Estados Unidos, decidió rebelarse de sus asesores y seguir la campaña por cuenta propia. Este hecho aumentó las tensiones en el entorno del candidato oficialista ante el aumento en la intención de voto para Barack Obama.
"Sarah Palin ha perdido la confianza de los asesores que viajan con ella", fue lo que declaró una fuente a la Web Politico.com. Mientras tanto, otra fuente afirmó a CNN que Palin "es una diva" que "no acepta consejos de nadie, ni siquiera de su propia familia".
Los asesores directos de la mujer acusaron a los de McCain, Steve Schmidt y Nicole Wallace, de acusarla por el fracaso de la campaña electoral. Encima, una sondeo realizado por la cadena televisiva ABC y The Washington Post sentenció que el 60% de los encuestados cree que Palin "no está calificada" para la vicepresidencia y que su elección fue clave para no votar al candidato republicano. |

The government of Canada is fighting to keep Washington from having access to passenger lists for Canada's domestic flights. The Canadian transport minister Jean Lapierre said two-thirds of Canada's domestic flights at some point cross through American air space. The Minister said he may have to re-route them (around U.S. airspace) rather than breach the privacy rights of domestic Canadian passengers.
In plans which are not yet finalized, Washington recently warned Canada (and other countries) the U.S. intends to require that its no-fly list procedures apply to all foreign airlines which pass through U.S. airspace. After 9/11, a watch list of suspected terrorists was created by the U.S. that bars those on the list from air travel within its borders.
On Wednesday, Lapierre said it's a “very hot issue,” and that he’s working to protect the privacy of Canadians.
“I’m very worried about it. We don’t think it’s a good idea that Canadians travelling from one (Canadian) city to another would have to be checked under the American no-fly list.” Lapierre said. He estimates that nearly two-thirds of the 278,000 yearly flights between Canadian cities cross over the U.S. border. Most major flight zones from urban centers in Canada are in its southern portion, close to the U.S. where even winds might push a plane across the border.
If the matter can not be resolved, Lapierre said, “We would have to take a northern route, which would be much more expensive.” ''Yahoo! News Canada'' reports that Lapierre intends to lobby U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta against the changes.
Last year, the Canadian province of British Columbia put controls on firms that handle an individual's personal data that prevents them from sharing private information on Canadians with U.S. authorities.

They were scrambled from Quebec to escort the inter-continental flight originating from London to the Halifax International Airport after a hijacking signal, an apparent accident, was sent from the plane. The plane was detained in Halifax on Friday for approximately four hours. Ultimately it was cleared, and landed safely at its original destination in John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
Both the ACLU and the Electronic Privacy Information Center are involved in lawsuits against the U.S. government relating to no-fly lists.

The names are provided to air carriers through Security Directives or Emergency Amendments and are stored in their computer systems so that an individual with a name that matches the list can be flagged when getting a boarding pass. A "no-fly" match requires the agent to call a law enforcement officer to detain and question the passenger. In the case of a Selectee, an "S" or special mark is printed on their boarding pass and the person receives additional screening at security." |
en | Fight heating up over no-fly lists
(CP)
The price of airline tickets between Canadian cities could go up if the United States implements an anti-terrorist strategy that would force domestic airlines to fly new routes far north of the American border, Transport minister Jean Lapierre said yesterday.
The minister said he is fighting hard to keep Washington from getting its hands on Canadian passenger lists for domestic flights that stray into U.S. airspace.
But if he fails, added Lapierre, Canadian carriers might have to take pains to avoid conventional routes that cross over northern U.S. states.
Calling it a very hot issue, Lapierre said Washington hasnt finalized its proposed new rules but hes already lobbying to protect Canadians privacy.
Im very worried about it, he said outside the Commons. We dont think its a good idea that Canadians travelling from one city to another would have to be checked under the American no-fly list.
Washington warned recently that, as an added security measure against terrorism, it intended to require that all foreign airlines passing over the U.S. check the names of passengers against American government watch lists.
The proposal mostly would affect airlines in Canada and Mexico since flights within those countries have the greatest chance of passing over American states.
Lapierre reckons that as many as two-thirds of the roughly 278,000 flights within Canada each year likely cross into American airspace at some point.
To save time and fuel, flights from Montreal to Halifax pass over Maine while flights on the Toronto-Calgary route almost always cut across northern U.S. states.
Our majority cities are right on the border, so if the winds push you this way, you will be over the American airspace, said Lapierre.
If Washingtons proposed new regulation is allowed to stand, that could force Canadian air carriers to find newand longerroutes further north of the American border, he added.
We would have to take a northern route, which would be much more expensive.
Washington is pushing its way into Canadian security matters where it doesnt belong, charged NDP leader Jack Layton.
This is certainly a step towards the kind of deeper integration between our two countries that I think a lot of Canadians are concerned about.
The proposed American change stems from an incident April 8 when U.S. authorities denied a KLM Amsterdam-to-Mexico flight the right to fly over U.S. airspace after learning that two Saudi passengers aboard the plane were on Washingtons no-fly list of suspected terrorists.
The Dutch carrier has said it was five hours into its flight and was in Canadian airspace when American authorities refused it entry.

On the morning of 5 October last year, I headed to a village in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to cover what had come to be known as "the Hathras case". A few days earlier, a 19-year-old Dalit woman had died after she was allegedly gang-raped by four of her upper-caste neighbours in the village of Bhulgarhi in Hathras. On the same morning, Sidhique Kappan, a 41-year-old journalist for the Malayalam-language news portal Azhimukham, also set out for Bhulgarhi, travelling from Delhi where he had been based for nine years. | en | NDP party leader, Jack Layton who opposes the idea, claimed; “This is certainly a step towards the kind of deeper integration between our two countries that I think a lot of Canadians are concerned about."
The government of Canada is fighting to keep Washington from having access to passenger lists for Canada's domestic flights. The Canadian transport minister Jean Lapierre said two-thirds of Canada's domestic flights at some point cross through American air space. The Minister said he may have to re-route them (around U.S. airspace) rather than breach the privacy rights of domestic Canadian passengers.
In plans which are not yet finalized, Washington recently warned Canada (and other countries) the U.S. intends to require that its no-fly list procedures apply to all foreign airlines which pass through U.S. airspace. After 9/11, a watch list of suspected terrorists was created by the U.S. that bars those on the list from air travel within its borders.
On Wednesday, Lapierre said it's a “very hot issue,” and that he’s working to protect the privacy of Canadians.
“I’m very worried about it. We don’t think it’s a good idea that Canadians travelling from one (Canadian) city to another would have to be checked under the American no-fly list.” Lapierre said. He estimates that nearly two-thirds of the 278,000 yearly flights between Canadian cities cross over the U.S. border. Most major flight zones from urban centers in Canada are in its southern portion, close to the U.S. where even winds might push a plane across the border.
If the matter can not be resolved, Lapierre said, “We would have to take a northern route, which would be much more expensive.” ''Yahoo! News Canada'' reports that Lapierre intends to lobby U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta against the changes.
Last year, the Canadian province of British Columbia put controls on firms that handle an individual's personal data that prevents them from sharing private information on Canadians with U.S. authorities. The issue goes to Canada's sovereignty of its citizens and the U.S. sovereignty of its airspace.

en | U.S. bars KLM flight entry into airspace
Names of 2 passengers appear on 'no-fly' terrorist list
(CNN) -- U.S. authorities refused to allow a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 747 to fly over the United States, officials said Sunday.
Flight 685 from Amsterdam to Mexico City was denied permission to fly south across the Canada-U.S. border on Friday because the names of two passengers aboard were included on a U.S. "no-fly" terrorist watch list, KLM spokesman Bart Koster said.
The flight, carrying 278 passengers, returned to Amsterdam, Koster said. He told The Associated Press that on Saturday, a flight without the two listed passengers departed Amsterdam and arrived in Mexico City.
"I hope this was a once-in-a-lifetime incident," Koster said. "It's, of course, very frustrating for passengers and crew to be more than 10, 11 hours in the air, to come back where you departed."
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI decided to bar the flight because of security concerns involving certain passengers, said Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Andrea McCauley. She would not elaborate.
U.S. anti-terrorism laws require airlines to provide passenger manifests to the U.S. government before their planes enter U.S. airspace.
Koster said the two listed passengers -- who he said were not Dutch citizens -- returned to their home countries. Citing privacy concerns, Koster wouldn't disclose any other information about the two passengers. | en | NDP party leader, Jack Layton who opposes the idea, claimed; “This is certainly a step towards the kind of deeper integration between our two countries that I think a lot of Canadians are concerned about."

es | La interrupción de la distribución se debe a que todavía esta en curso el juicio de amparo promovido por uno de las personas que aparecen en el documental

20:40 | es | Por orden de un juez federal se ha detenido la distribución en formato DVD del polémico largometraje documental ''Presunto Culpable'', debido a que una de las personas que aparecen en el filme se siente agraviada y ha interpuesto un juicio de amparo.
El duodécimo Tribunal Colegiado en Materia Administrativa le concedió esta suspensión a Víctor Daniel Reyes Bravo, quien apareció en el juicio penal contra José Antonio Zúñiga –el protagonista del filme, encarcelado por casi tres años inculpado de un asesinato que no cometió– como testigo de cargo.
Así fue como el Tribunal derogó el anterior fallo del 4 de agosto sobre este asunto, pues en aquel entonces la juez Blanca Lobo había denegado la suspensión solicitada por Reyes.
Luis Schmidt, abogado de los creadores del documental, ratificó que esta resolución ordena a la empresa Distrimax, filial de Grupo Videomax, que deje de distribuir el DVD de la película. Sin embargo, la sentencia no define si en las copias que ya fueron vendidas recae algún efecto legal.

Ciudad de México.- Un tribunal federal ordenó frenar la distribución del DVD de 'Presunto Culpable', como parte del juicio de amparo promovido por una persona que se siente agraviada por la forma en que se le presenta en ese largometraje.
El Décimo Segundo Tribunal Colegiado en Materia Administrativa concedió el 25 de noviembre una suspensión definitiva a Víctor Daniel Reyes Bravo, quien fue testigo de cargo en el juicio penal retratado en el documental y, desde principios de año, litiga contra la Secretaría de Gobernación por haber permitido su exhibición.
El tribunal revocó la sentencia dictada el 4 de agosto por la juez de distrito Blanca Lobo, quien negó la suspensión definitiva solicitada por Reyes para impedir la distribución del DVD, luego que en marzo sólo pudo frenar por menos de 48 horas la exhibición en salas cinematográficas.
Luis Schmidt, abogado de los autores del documental, confirmó este viernes que la sentencia ordena a la empresa Distrimax, filial de Grupo Videomax, abstenerse de seguirlo distribuyendo.
No está claro si la sentencia puede tener algún efecto sobre la comercialización de los DVD que ya están en las tiendas. El documental se ha transmitido también en canales de televisión de paga.
La suspensión definitiva quiere decir que el DVD no se podrá distribuir durante todo el tiempo que tome la resolución del juicio de amparo, en el que aún no se ha dictado sentencia de primera instancia para establecer si fue legal la autorización de exhibición.
"La concesión de la suspensión definitiva no causa perjuicio al interés social ni contraviene disposiciones de orden público", afirmó el tribunal integrado por los magistrados Eugenio Reyes, José Antonio García Guillén y Roberto Avendaño.
El diario REFORMA solicitó copia de la sentencia al tribunal, que no la ha facilitado ni tampoco la ha difundido por el sistema de internet del Consejo de la Judicatura Federal.
Schmidt cuestionó al tribunal por no exigir a Reyes Bravo el pago de una garantía para cubrir posibles afectaciones económicas a Distrimax o a los cineastas.
En junio, la juez Lobo negó la suspensión provisional de la distribución del DVD, y su decisión había sido confirmada por el Décimo Sexto Tribunal Colegiado en Materia Administrativa, que argumentó que éste no es comercializado por las autoridades.
"Procede negar la suspensión solicitada en tanto los efectos y consecuencias de la autorización para la comercialización en DVD de la película denominada Presunto Culpable no están a cargo de autoridades, sino de particulares, respecto de los cuales no procede dicha medida cautelar", dijo ese tribunal.
Sin embargo, la revisión de la negativa de suspensión definitiva fue turnada a otro tribunal colegiado, lo que también fue cuestionado por el litigante, pues es contrario a la práctica habitual en este tipo de casos.

El artillero de Barcelona, Narciso Mina, acabó ayer con una mala racha de 247 minutos. Anotó el gol del triunfo torero 1-2 sobre Olmedo, en condición de visitante en el estadio Olímpico de Riobamba, primer resultado positivo del equipo ganador de la primera etapa.
La última vez que anotó el goleador del Ídolo del Astillero, quien con el tanto de ayer llegó a 14, fue el pasado 23 de mayo; ese día Barcelona ganó 2-0 a Independiente José Terán en Sangolquí, y Mina abrió la ruta de la victoria al minuto 9.
En el juego de ayer Narciso, de cabeza, derrotó al arquero Juan Molina (77m), tras un centro de Bryan de la Torre. La pelota pegó en el cuerpo del golero, pero esa acción desvió la trayectoria del balón.
Enseguida, el esmeraldeño, de 29 años, se despojó la camiseta y mostró la leyenda de agradecimiento: “Dios es fiel y cumple los sueños”. Miró al cielo como si enviara algún mensaje adicional.
Muy cerca a Mina, el DT Gustavo Costas explotó de felicidad y recorrió por la zona técnica con los brazos hacia adelante y manos empuñadas. No paró el festejo hasta que el juego estaba por reiniciar. La fanaticada amarilla, en un número de unos 6.000, también desbordó su alegría en las gradas.
Goles del partido (Señal: Teleamazonas)
La anotación del triunfo amarillo llegó cuando Olmedo era mejor y merecía el gol de la victoria; pero Sergio Souza, Jacob Murillo, Omar Ledesma y Fernando Sanjurjo no habían podido derrotar al guardameta torero Máximo Banguera.
El uruguayo Souza abrió el marcador para Olmedo, al minuto 36, con una jugada acrobática, parecida a una ‘chilena’, tras un centro de Murillo. Hasta los hinchas toreros alabaron la acción.
La igualdad llegó a través de Jorge Ladines (40m). El Pony, luego de que un centro de Matías Oyola superara a los defensas (Carlos Caicedo y Juan Carlos Godoy), remató de cabeza y Molina no pudo detener el balón.
Roberto Alman, árbitro del partido, pitó el final del juego, el DT Costas inició la celebración, que luego contagió a los hinchas.
En la próxima fecha, Barcelona recibirá en el Monumental a Macará; Olmedo visitará la Casa Blanca para medir a Liga de Quito.

Emelec ganó, pero mostró que le costó asimilar el cambio de entrenador y sistema táctico. El DT Gustavo Quinteros, quien reemplazó el lunes pasado a Marcelo Fleitas, debutó ayer con un triunfo de 1-0 sobre Deportivo Cuenca, pero lo hizo con evidentes complicaciones.
Emelec no tuvo el mismo flujo ofensivo que en partidos anteriores, a eso se sumó la cerrada defensa que planteó su adversario, un equipo que en las últimas presentaciones en el estadio Capwell ha complicado a los azules.
Las modificaciones que aplicó Quinteros también se vieron en la zaga. Una línea de cuatro defensores, que ayer fue útil para evitar cualquier contratiempo para conservar la mínima diferencia en el marcador.
Pero lo que Emelec mostró en el primer tiempo fue poco. Tuvo un juego predecible y nada dinámico. A Deportivo Cuenca le bastó con cubrir las costados ante las salidas de Enner Valencia; o aplicar mucha presión sobre Marcos Mondaini, el único que intentaba romper con la monotonía de los contragolpes eléctricos.
Para el segundo tiempo, Quinteros entendió que Emelec tiene una identidad ofensiva y trató de devolvérsela. Para esto fue clave que ingresara un volante más de ataque, como Fernando Gaibor, quien al minuto 76 decretó el gol del triunfo.
Gol de Fernando Gaibor (Señal: Ecuavisa)
El tanto surgió en el momento preciso, ya que Emelec comenzaba de desesperarse, pues en cada intento azul el golero Marcelo Ojeda se convirtió en el verdugo de los atacantes azules.
Pero en un contraataque Gaibor tomó el balón y ejecutó un derechazo cruzado desde fuera del área, y Ojeda no pudo impedir que el esférico entrara por el ángulo inferior de su derecha.
Con el triunfo, Emelec lidera la tabla, con Independiente José Terán, Barcelona, Liga (Q) y Macará.

Narciso Mina tendrá que comprarse una barbera y visitar a su peluquero. Su huelga por no poder anotar goles se acabó. Ayer, el delantero amarillo pudo marcar el tanto del triunfo ante Olmedo en el Olímpico de Riobamba.
El gol 14 del delantero en este año llegó a los 77’ y Mina volvió a exhibir un mensaje en su camiseta: “Dios es fiel y cumple los sueños”. Así se sacó la presión de haber fallado dos penales claves, que lo llevaron a autocastigarse sin cortarse el cabello ni la barba.
El espíritu religioso de Mina no sirvió para que le perdonaran de la tarjeta amarilla por sacarse la camiseta en el festejo. Él logró salir del fatídico número 13.
Mina complementó el fútbol de los amarillos que ayer tuvo algunas variantes. Aparecieron, por ejemplo, Matías Oyola y Jorge el ‘Pony’ Ladines. Este último aportó con el gol del empate en el primer tiempo del compromiso.
Hubo buenas atajadas del arquero Máximo Banguera. Barcelona volvió a demostrar en Riobamba un fútbol práctico, y que le sirvió para sumar los tres primeros puntos en el inicio de la segunda etapa del Campeonato.
Esto le favoreció para empezar con pie derecho en su afán de ratificar su seria candidatura al título de campeón en esta temporada.
El conjunto amarillo demostró por qué fue el mejor equipo de la primera etapa del torneo local.
Ayer practicó un fútbol de pases cortos y un concepto de juego donde no abusó de los pelotazos. Dos goles de cabeza sentenciaron el partido ante un Olmedo que, pese a estrenar tres jugadores foráneos y cuatro nacionales, no pudo contrarrestar el juego práctico y arrollador de los visitantes.
Con este resultado, Barcelona se mantiene firme en el primer lugar de la tabla acumulada y su intención es ganar esta segunda etapa para coronarse campeón sin necesidad de una final.
El equipo riobambeño mostró un cambio de actitud. Los jugadores del conjunto chimboracense intentaron demostraron una mejor imagen, pero no alcanzó.
A tal punto de que a los 36’ abrió el marcador, a través del uruguayo Sebastián Souza. El delantero lo marcó con una especie de tijera, luego de recibir un centro de Jacob Murillo. Tal fue el efecto del golpe que ocurrió un pique del esférico en el área visitante. Este imprevisto desubicó al golero Banguera y desconcertó a la zaga.
Barcelona supo manejar la adversidad y Costas logró que su equipo no se cayera anímicamente. Sin embargo, extrañó a su conductor Damián Díaz. | es | La segunda etapa del Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol 2012 (Copa Credife 2012) inició el pasado viernes 13 de julio, sin embargo, los clubes provenientes de la ciudad de Guayaquil disputaron sus partidos de la Fecha 1 el domingo 15 de julio. Ambos equipos obtuvieron victorias en sus encuentros, uno en calidad de visitante y el otro como local.
El Barcelona, ganador de la primera etapa y clasificado a la final del campeonato en diciembre, debutó en la segunda etapa con triunfo en el Estadio Olímpico de Riobamba en su visita al Olmedo. Los locales riobambeños se impusieron en el marcador al minuto 35 por medio de Sergio Souza, sin embargo, pasado 5 minutos de aquella anotación (min. 40') llegó el gol del empate para Barcelona marcado por el delantero Jorge Ladines. Finalmente, durante el segundo tiempo (min. 77) el goleador del "equipo canario", Narciso Mina, marcó el tanto de la victoria para los de Guayaquil. Con marcador final 1-2, Barcelona se posiciona en 2º lugar de la tabla (continúa en 1º lugar en la tabla acumulada).
El Emelec, club que terminó en tercer lugar en la primera etapa, ganó con marcador de 1-0 en el Estadio George Capwell de Guayaquil ante el Deportivo Cuenca. El único tanto del partido lo anotó Fernando Gaibor en el minuto 76. Emelec se ubica en 5º lugar de la tabla.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea criticized the U.S. on Monday for positioning missile defense systems around Hawaii, calling the deployment part of a plot to attack the regime and saying it would bolster its nuclear arsenal in retaliation.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he ordered the deployment of a ground-based, mobile missile intercept system and radar system to Hawaii amid concerns the North may fire a long-range missile toward the islands, about 4,500 miles away.
"Through the U.S. forces' clamorous movements, it has been brought to light that the U.S. attempt to launch a pre-emptive strike on our republic has become a brutal fact," the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary.
The paper also accused the U.S. of deploying nuclear-powered aircraft and atomic-armed submarines in waters near the Korean peninsula, saying the moves prove "the U.S. pre-emptive nuclear war" on the North is imminent.
The commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, said the North will bolster its nuclear arsenal in self-defense.
The North routinely accuses the U.S. of plotting to invade the North. But the U.S., which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, has said it has no such plan.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have been running high since the North defiantly launched a rocket in April and conducted an underground nuclear test last month, prompting U.N. Security Council sanctions.
North Korea responded to the U.N. resolution on the nuclear test with threats of war, and pledged to expand its nuclear bomb-making program.
In what could be the first test of the U.N. sanctions, an American destroyer has been tracking a North Korean ship sailing off China's coast amid suspicions that it is carrying illicit weapons.
The Kang Nam, which left a North Korean port on June 17, is the first vessel monitored under U.N. sanctions that ban the regime from selling arms and weapons-related material. The resolution requires member nations to request permission to inspect the cargo of ships suspected of carrying banned goods.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said on CBS television Sunday that Washington is "following the progress of that ship very closely." Rice would not say whether the U.S. would confront the Kang Nam.
North Korea has said it would consider any interception of its ships a declaration of war.

North Korea claims that the United States have planned to start an atomic war against them due to President Barack Obama recently reaffirming the nuclear protection of South Korea.
A South Korean Foreign Ministry official on Saturday stated that Seoul has proposed five-way talks with the U.S., China, Russia and Japan to find a way to deal with the threats given by North Korea. The United States and Japan agreed to attend the 5-way talks but China and Russia have yet to respond.
Singapore has stated that if the Korean flagship the ''Kang Nam'' is carrying a weapon that is in violation of the United Nations sanctions it would take immediate action. According to a senior member of the United States military, the ''USS John McCain'' is ready to intercept the ''Kang Nam''. |
en | SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore will take action against a North Korean ship that the United States is monitoring, if the vessel heads to its port with a cargo of weapons, the government said on Saturday.
"Singapore takes seriously the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their means of delivery and related materials," said a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"If the allegation is true, Singapore will act appropriately." The U.S. Navy is monitoring a vessel called Kang Nam at sea under new U.N. sanctions that bar North Korea from exporting weapons, including missile parts and nuclear materials.
Fox News quoted a senior U.S. military source saying the ship appeared to be heading toward Singapore and that the navy destroyer USS John McCain was positioning itself in case it gets orders to intercept, according to a story on its website.
Singapore, a U.S. ally, has the world's busiest shipping port, with most containers being trans-shipments between East and West, and it is also the world's top ship refueling hub.
Singapore government agencies could not give information on the current location of the ship.
"We don't know even whether she is coming to Singapore," said a source at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, which is responsible for security in Singapore waters and at its port.
The U.S. officials said the ship became "a subject of interest" after leaving a North Korean port on Wednesday.
The Kang Nam is the first ship to be monitored under the U.N. sanctions adopted last week after Pyongyang raised tensions by test-firing missiles, restarting a plant to produce arms-grade plutonium and conducting a nuclear test.
The U.S. has deployed anti-missile assets to the Pacific in case Pyongyang launches more missiles, U.S. officials have said.
North Korea's media on Saturday said it was not threatened by new sanctions after a U.N. committee said it was considering blacklisting more North Korea companies, and individuals, for supporting Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.
"It is foolish and ridiculous of our enemy powers to call for more sanctions and isolation... (do they think) it could make us even raise our eyebrows one bit?" North Korea's Rodong Sinmum newspaper said in a commentary.
"If they point a gun at us, we will get back with a cannon. If they point a cannon, we will point missiles and for sanctions, we will give them revenge. Getting back with a nuclear weapon for a nuclear weapon is what we do."

en | N.Korea accuses Obama of nuclear war plot
SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea has accused US President Barack Obama of plotting a nuclear war on the communist nation by reaffirming a US assurance of security for South Korea, the North's state media said.
In a first official response to last week's US-South Korean summit, the state-run weekly Tongil Sinbo said in its Saturday edition Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak "are trying to ignite a nuclear war".
"The US-touted provision of 'extended deterrence, including a nuclear umbrella' (for South Korea) is nothing but 'a nuclear war plan,'" Tongil Sinbo said.
It said it wasn't a coincidence that the United States has brought "nuclear equipment into South Korea and its surroundings and staged massive war drills every day to look for a chance to invade North Korea."
Pyongyang has created weeks of tension by conducting a second nuclear test and test-firing missiles.
At a summit with Lee in Washington Wednesday, Obama warned that North Korea is a "grave threat" and vowed to defend South Korea.
A Seoul presidential official told Yonhap news agency Lee would seek a written US commitment to provide a nuclear "umbrella" for Seoul as part of "extended deterrence" against Pyongyang.
North Korea detonated its second nuclear device on May 25, following the first one in 2006. It also went ahead with what Washington said was a disguised test of a long-range missile in April.
The United Nations Security Council in response agreed to tighter cargo inspections, a stricter arms embargo and new targeted financial curbs to choke off revenue for the North's nuclear and missile sectors.
In response Pyongyang has vowed to build more nuclear bombs and start enriching uranium for a new atomic weapons program.
Some analysts say the sabre-rattling is part of an attempt by 67-year-old ailing North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Il, to bolster a succession plan involving his youngest son, Kim Jong-Un.

Brasília - Um atentado suicida contra instalações das forças de segurança em Damaturu, no Nordeste da Nigéria, matou três policiais, aumentando para 32 o número de mortos na série de ataques no Dia de Natal.
O ataque em Damaturu está entre os cinco atentados atribuídos à seita islamita Boko Haram no Dia de Natal, mas até a confirmação das autoridades policiais não havia registro de vítimas nessa operação. Além do suicida, "três elementos do serviço (da polícia) foram mortos", informou um comunicado das forças de segurança.
As quatro mortes juntam-se a outras 28, resultado de dois atentados hoje contra igrejas cristãs. "É como uma guerra interna lançada contra o país", disse o ministro que tutela as forças de segurança, Caleb Olubolade, que se deslocou ao local dos atentados para dizer que é preciso "estar à altura e combater" esses ataques.
Os atentados já foram condenados pelo Vaticano, que considerou o resultado um "ódio cego e absurdo". Os ataques ocorrem após vários dias de confrontos entre a seita islamita Boko Haram e as forças de segurança, centralizadas nos estados de Yobe e Borno. O balanço desse sábado (24) registrava cerca de 100 mortos.
O pior ataque do Dia de Natal ocorreu com a explosão de uma bomba ao fim da missa na parte externa da igreja católica Santa Teresa, em Madalla, nos arredores da capital nigeriana, Abuja, que matou pelo menos 27 pessoas.
Abul Qaqa, porta-voz do Boko Haram, disse que o movimento que deseja a criação de um estado islâmico na Nigéria "assume a autoria de todos os ataques dos últimos dias", incluindo o da igreja de Madalla. "Continuaremos a lançar mais ataques nos próximos dias", ameaçou.
Mais tarde, um segundo atentado atingiu a igreja evangélica Mountain of Fire, em Jos, um dos locais onde tem sido mais acentuada a violência entre fações comunitárias da Nigéria, e que matou pelo menos um policial, deixando três veículos em chamas.
Além do atentado suicida em Damaturu, mais uma explosão foi sentida na cidade, na noite anterior, em uma igreja em Gadaka, no estado de Yobe.
A mesma seita reivindicou em agosto deste ano o atentado contra a sede das Nações Unidas em Abuja, que matou 24 pessoas, bem como ações similares no Natal de 2010 contra igrejas cristãs.
Vários observadores admitem que a seita Boko Haram tem desenvolvido ligações com a Al Qaeda.

Inicialmente, nas primeiras horas, os ataques eram três igrejas que matou 26 pessoas (o segundo 25 pessoas e o terceiro um policial), eram atentados contra igrejas cristãs, mas mas esses ataques e número de mortos já aumentou com novos atentados não religiosos.

O segundo ataque ocorreu perto da Igreja Católica de Santa Teresa em , nos arredores da capital da Nigéria, , no momento do ataque, a igreja, com capacidade para até mil fiéis, estava celebrando a missa de Natal, quando uma bomba explodiu.
A terceira explosão atingiu a igreja evangélica Mountain of Fire, em Jos, que matou pelo menos um policial, deixando três veículos em chamas.
Horas depois dos atentados, desta vez suicida, aconteceu contra instalações das forças de segurança em , no Nordeste da Nigéria. Os "três elementos do serviço (da polícia) foram mortos", informou um comunicado das forças de segurança.
Os ataques no Dia de Natal, como ficou conhecido, são atribuídos à seita de fanáticos islamicos do . Na semana passada, quase 70 pessoas foram mortas durante combates entre forças da Nigéria e pistoleiros ligados ao Boko Haram, na Região Nordeste do país.
Em entrevista à BBC, Yushau Shuaibu, porta-voz das forças de emergência da Nigéria, a explosão em Madalla danificou seriamente a igreja e a expectativa é que o número de mortos aumente.
De acordo com o editor da BBC África, Martin Plaut, o ataque em Jos, situada no chamado Cinturão do Meio, entre as regiões Norte, predominantemente islâmica, e o Sul, de maioria cristã, pode ter impactos ainda mais perigosos que o atentado perto de Abuja.

Brasília - Dois atentados à bomba em diferentes pontos da Nigéria, com horas de diferença, mataram ao menos 26 pessoas e deixaram centenas de feridos. O primeiro ataque ocorreu perto de uma igreja em Madalla, nos arredores da capital da Nigéria, Abuja, matando ao menos 25 pessoas e deixando centenas de feridos.
A igreja, com capacidade para até mil fiéis, estava celebrando uma missa de Natal. Pouco após o ataque, uma segunda explosão foi registrada na cidade de Jos, perto de outra igreja católica. O ataque matou ao menos uma pessoa - um policial.
Os atentados foram assumidos pelo grupo islâmico fundamentalista Boko Haram. Houve ainda dois ataques registrados nas cidade de Damaturu e um em Gadaka, no Norte da Nigéria. Ambas as cidades ficam no estado de Yobe, que tem sido o epicentro da violência entre forças de segurança do governo e militantes do Boko Haram.
Analistas acreditam que os ataques quase simultâneos têm sinais de uma ofensiva coordenada por parte dos militantes islâmicos fundamentalistas.
O Boko Haram - cujo nome significa educação ocidental é proibida - costuma ter instituições do governo, igrejas e organizações internacionais como alvos de seus ataques. Em agosto de 2011, a organização realizou um ataque contra a sede da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) em Abuja, em que mais de 20 pessoas foram mortas.
Ao longo desta semana, quase 70 pessoas foram mortas durante combates entre forças da Nigéria e pistoleiros ligados ao Boko Haram, na Região Nordeste do país.

PRECEDENTE - A nulla, dopo la bocciatura a Palazzo Madama, sono valse le pressioni della sinistra a tirare il freno, a non dimettersi e trovare una soluzione per andare avanti. In serata � uscita anche una nota ufficiale del Prc in cui si chiede a Prodi �di non interrompere la sua azione�. Niente da fare. La disfatta della maggioranza va in scena ancora una volta a Palazzo Madama, che si conferma la bestia nera del governo Prodi. A distanza di una ventina di giorni, dopo lo scivolone sulla mozione della Cdl sulla base Usa di Vicenza, infatti, il governo viene battuto di nuovo sulla risoluzione che approva la relazione del ministro degli Esteri. E si apre la crisi.
�COLPA DI ANDREOTTI E PININFARINA� - �La colpa di tutto � di Pininfarina e Andreotti che si sono astenuti e di Rossi e Turigliatto che non hanno votato�, hanno commentato i senatori dell'Unione all'uscita dell'Aula dove, dopo il risultato, � scoppiata la solita bagarre con il centrodestra in piedi che gridava �
ULIVO PRONTO A PRODI-BIS - A sera, l'Unione si interroga sullo sviluppo della crisi. L'Ulivo (dopo un vertice con Rutelli, Fassino e D'Alema a Palazzo Chigi), si dice pronto a confermare la fiducia a un governo Prodi-bis. �Siamo consapevoli della difficolt� della situazione - afferma il capogruppo alla Camera Dario Franceschini- ma siamo pronti a riconfermare la piena fiducia al Governo Prodi. Ci auguriamo che le consultazioni servano a un chiarimento profondo per superare non solo un nuovo ed eventuale voto di fiducia ma perch� il governo abbia una maggioranza che lo sostenga convintamente�. Prc, Pdci e Verdi insistono perch� la maggioranza vada avanti. E anche i Ds, dopo l'ufficio di presidenza, ripropongono il nome di Romano Prodi per la guida del Paese e lo invitano a chiedere di nuovo la fiducia in Parlamento. Anche se, afferma una nota della Quercia, � �necessario un chiarimento politico che ripristini la coesione della maggioranza di centrosinistra e consenta al governo di ottenere la fiducia e proseguire stabilmente la propria attivit�. Il segretario dei Ds, Piero Fassino, aggiunge poi: �Adesso tutta l'Unione sia leale con Prodi�.
RUTELLI: DUE DOVERI - �La maggioranza ha due doveri: assicurare al paese una politica estera credibile, coerente, affidabile. Il secondo � servire il paese con la maggioranza ricevuta dagli elettori e scongiurare il ritorno della destra�. Cos� il vicepresidente del consiglio, Francesco Rutelli sulle prospettive che si aprono per governo e maggioranza: �Senza una maggioranza in politica estera, non si governa il Paese e bene ha fatto, il premier Romano Prodi, a dirlo con grande nettezza, fino a rimettere il mandato nelle mani del Capo dello Stato.

Alla fine sono arrivate le dimissioni. Dopo tante minacce di crisi il governo Prodi va in testa coda e cade quando (forse) meno se lo aspettava, i nciampando sulla politica estera: la mozione sul discorso di D'Alema non � passata al Senato per due voti. A stoppare la maggioranza � stata una inedita cinquina composta da tre senatori a vita e due �irriducibili� della sinistra radicale. Rossi e Turigliatto . Dopo la bocciatura, seguita da un vertice di maggioranza e da un consiglio dei ministri, Romano Prodi ha rimesso il mandato al Quirinale. Il presidente Napolitano, rientrato in tutta fretta a Roma interrompendo una visita ufficiale a Bologna , si � riservato di accettare dopo un colloquio di 25 minuti e ha indetto subito (cominceranno gioved� alle 10.30) le consultazioni per affidare l'incarico di formare il nuovo governo. Era stato proprio Napolitano a chiedere a Prodi di tornare al Senato dopo la sconfitta sulla base di Vicenza, proprio per provare il sostegno della maggioranza alla politica estera del governo. E D'Alema aveva detto chiaro, da Ibiza, che �senza la maggioranza, si va tutti a casa� ( guarda il video ). In sostanza, il capo della Farnesina aveva chiesto una sorta di voto di fiducia, sfidando i rapporti di forza (che al Senato sono ormai paritari tra maggioranza e centrodestra) e le tante incognite di una votazione al cardiopalma.- A nulla, dopo la bocciatura a Palazzo Madama, sono valse le pressioni della sinistra a tirare il freno, a non dimettersi e trovare una soluzione per andare avanti.

Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, delivered his resignation today to the country's President Giorgio Napolitano. The decision came following an embarrassing loss suffered by the Italian government on a foreign policy vote in the Italian Senate, concerning the engagement in Afghanistan and after a political split in the government coalition about the planned expansion of a U.S. Army base in Vicenza, in Northern Italy.
President Napolitano will begin consultations among Italian party Leaders on the next Thursday: according to the Italian Constitution, the President can send back Prodi to the Chambers for a vote or might choose another Prime Minister who might have enough support to put together a new government, or could be forced to dissolve the Parliament and call for new elections.

en | Romano Prodi resigned last night as Italy's prime minister after his government had suffered an unexpected defeat in parliament over its alliance with the United States and its role in Nato. Giorgio Napolitano, who as Italy's president oversees the making and breaking of governments, is to open consultations on the political future today.
It was not ruled out that Mr Prodi could be asked to form a new government, and a grouping of core parties in his coalition said last night that they were prepared to back him again. But his spokesman said: "He is ready to carry on as prime minister if, and only if, he is guaranteed the full support of all the parties in his majority from now on."
That support was signally lacking in the senate a few hours earlier, when the government sought a vote of approval for its foreign policy. Discontent on the left of his sprawling, nine-party coalition over the extension of an American military base and Italy's open-ended commitment to the Nato-led force in Afghanistan lay behind a two-vote defeat. Since he had not lost a formal confidence vote, Mr Prodi was not obliged to stand down.
But, amid raucous scenes, members of the rightwing opposition claimed he had been stripped of his credibility. "There is no majority any more," declared a jubilant Renato Schifani, chief senate whip to Silvio Berlusconi, whom Mr Prodi defeated in a general election last year. "There is no Prodi government any more."
In the chamber of deputies, the lower house of parliament, scuffles broke out between MPs of rival parties.
As Mr Prodi prepared to see President Napolitano after a crisis cabinet meeting, a crowd of young opposition supporters gathered below the windows of his office chanting for his resignation.
The foreign minister, Massimo D'Alema, had said on the eve of the vote that the government should go if it lost. Seeking backing for his policies after weeks of growing controversy, Mr D'Alema told the senate that to have rejected a US request to double the size of its facilities at Vicenza in northern Italy would have been a "hostile act" towards an ally.
Last weekend, 70,000 demonstrators marched through the city in protest. Several members of the governing majority said afterwards that the issue should be put to a local referendum, but Mr Prodi dismissed the suggestion. Two radical left senators withheld their votes on a broad motion supporting the government's foreign policy, robbing the centre-left of the outright majority it needed.
But there was also speculation that the outcome might have been different had not the legendarily Machiavellian Giulio Andreotti, a former prime minister and now life senator, wrong-footed the governing coalition by saying he would back it, but abstaining. The vote, in fact, was the government's favour, 158 to 136 with 24 abstentions; but, in the senate, abstentions effectively count as votes against.
It was the second time Mr Prodi had fallen victim to the far left, which brought down his last government in 1998.
The row over the US base had become linked to demands for an exit strategy in Afghanistan, where Italy has 1,900 troops in the UN-mandated but Nato-led International Security and Assistance Force.
Since Italy's withdrawal of its troops from Iraq last year, the radical left of Mr Prodi's coalition had become increasingly critical of the presence in Afghanistan. The issue became urgent last month when discussions began on renewed funding for Italy's contingent there.
Three ministers from the Green party and two communist groups left a cabinet meeting to avoid having to put their signatures to the government decree that supplied the cash.
Alarmed by the level of resistance in the governing coalition, the ambassadors of six of Italy's partners in Afghanistan, including Britain and the US, published an open letter earlier this month, appealing for unity. The funding decree has yet to be endorsed by parliament and it was in an attempt to get an agreed policy that Mr Prodi and his foreign minister tabled the motion that brought them to grief.
Backstory
The centre-left government relied on a range of supporters, from middle-of-the-road Christian Democrats at one extreme, to unreconstructed Communists at the other. Afghanistan and the US base at Vicenza were not the only clashes. Other flash points included: the 2007 budget which drew criticism from the coalition's right for using tax hikes not spending cuts to trim budget deficit; a rail link, a proposed high-speed line through the Alps disliked by Green party and leftists; a rights bill with rights for unmarried couples, including gay people, condemned by Christian Democrats, including justice minister Clemente Mastella, who threatened to vote against it. | en | Romano Prodi (Image credit: Beppe Moro, GFDL)
Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, delivered his resignation today to the country's President Giorgio Napolitano. The decision came following an embarrassing loss suffered by the Italian government on a foreign policy vote in the Italian Senate, concerning the engagement in Afghanistan and after a political split in the government coalition about the planned expansion of a U.S. Army base in Vicenza, in Northern Italy.
President Napolitano will begin consultations among Italian party Leaders on the next Thursday: according to the Italian Constitution, the President can send back Prodi to the Chambers for a vote or might choose another Prime Minister who might have enough support to put together a new government, or could be forced to dissolve the Parliament and call for new elections.
In the meantime, the President asked the government to stay on in a caretaker role.

de | Die BBC präsentiert in einer aktuellen Reportage einen Zeugen, der angibt, während der Maidan-Unruhen als Schütze von dem von der Opposition kontrollierten Gebäude des Konservatoriums auf Polizisten geschossen zu haben. Verantwortlich dafür soll nach Aussagen des BBC-Zeugen, der damaligen “Sicherheitschef” der Proteste, Andrij Parubij, enger Vertraute des aktuellen Premierministers Arsenij Jazenjuk, gewesen sein.
Es hatte bereits unmittelbar nach der Machtergreifung der ukrainischen Opposition Hinweise darauf gegeben, dass die tödlichen Schüsse auf Polizeibeamte und Demonstranten, die zur Eskalation der Gewalt im Rahmen der Demonstrationen beigetragen hatten, nicht, wie es von der Opposition und westlichen Medien verbreitet worden ist, von der Janukowytsch-treuen Sondereinheit Berkut, sondern von einem Gebäude aus abgegeben worden wäre, das von der Opposition gehalten wurde.
Das Regime in Kiew behauptet bis heute, der Tod von 50 Demonstranten und drei Polizisten sei auf einen gezielten Einsatz von Scharfschützen auf Befehl des gewählten Präsidenten Viktor Janukowytsch zurückzuführen gewesen. Das Massaker wurde nie aufgeklärt, die von einem Mitglied der rechtsextremen Partei “Swoboda” geleitete Oberstaatsanwaltschaft von Kiew verhindert bis heute eine Aufarbeitung der Ereignisse durch Staatsanwälte und Anwälte der Opfer und präsentiert lediglich drei Polizisten als Sündenböcke, die auf der Basis zweifelhafter Beweismittel belastet werden.
Politische Beobachter hatten jedoch schon bald gemerkt, dass mit der offiziellen Lesart der Ereignisse einiges nicht stimmen konnte. Auch der österreichische Spitzendiplomat Wolfgang Petritsch hatte schon vor einiger Zeit davon gesprochen, dass der Machtwechsel in Kiew “putschähnliche Züge” getragen habe.
Nun ist es der BBC gelungen, einen Schützen zu identifizieren, der von dem von der Opposition kontrollierten Gebäude des Konservatoriums auf Polizisten und die unbewaffneten Demonstranten geschossen hat und dies auch im Gespräch mit dem Sender einräumt.
Er gesteht auch ein, dass sein Einsatz von langer Hand geplant war. Er sei mit den Worten “Deine Zeit wird noch kommen” vom eigentlichen Demonstrationsgeschehen auf dem Maidan von einem ehemaligen Offizier, der in der Protestbewegung tätig war, zurückgehalten worden und auf einen speziellen Einsatz vorbereitet worden.
Er habe vor seinem Einsatz ein Saiga-Jagdgewehr ausgehändigt bekommen und habe dann mit einem zweiten Schützen vom Konservatorium aus, das bereits in den Händen der Opposition war, auf Polizisten geschossen. Der Mann äußerte gegenüber der BBC, er habe auf die Füße der Polizisten gezielt, hätte sie jedoch auch “in die Arme oder anderswohin” treffen können.
Der Abgeordnete Andrij Shevchenko bestätigt die Angaben. Gegenüber BBC sagte er, er sei von der Polizei informiert worden, dass Männer vom Konservatorium aus auf die Beamten geschossen hätten. Er habe daraufhin den damaligen “Sicherheitschef” der Proteste, Andrij Parubij, einen engen Vertrauten des von den USA als potenziellen neuen Regierungschef ins Spiel gebrachten Arsenij Jazenjuk, kontaktiert und ihn auf die Schützen aufmerksam gemacht. Dieser gab lediglich an, die Lage überprüfen zu lassen. Auch die Polizei habe Shevchenko über Schüsse vom Konservatorium aus informiert, worauf er erneut Parubij kontaktierte, dieser jedoch leugnete, dass vom Konservatorium aus überhaupt geschossen werden könne.

Die BBC präsentiert jedoch Fotos des Fotografen Evgeniy Maloletka, die zweifelsfrei Scharfschützen im von der Opposition kontrollierten Konservatorium und auf dem Balkon zeigen.
Der mutmaßliche Schütze selbst, der mit der BBC gesprochen hat, gab an, dass er von Männern, die Parubij zugeordnet werden könnten, mitten im Einsatz aus dem Gebäude eskortiert und mit einem Auto aus Kiew weggebracht worden wäre. Man habe ihn irgendwo außerhalb von Kiew ausgesetzt.
Parubij, der im Zuge des Putschgeschehens auf dem Maidan eng mit rechtsextremen Banden des “Rechten Sektors“ und der “Swoboda” zusammengearbeitet hatte, ist heute Mitglied der Partei von Jazenjuk und stellvertretender Sprecher des ukrainischen Parlaments. Er selbst schwadroniert bis heute von angeblich “aus Russland eingeschleusten Scharfschützen”, die auf dem Maidan geschossen hätten.
Die nunmehrigen Enthüllungen der BBC und der Inhalt eines bereits damals abgefangenen Gesprächs der US-Sonderbeauftragten Victoria Nuland stützen die These, dass es sich bei den Maidan-Unruhen um einen gezielt mithilfe ausländische Kräfte herbeigeführten Putsch gegen eine gewählte Regierung gehandelt hat.

de | Recherchen des ARD-Magazins Monitor
Neue Erkenntnisse über Maidan-Schüsse
Sieben Wochen nach den tödlichen Schüssen von Kiew, die zum Sturz der Regierung von Präsident Viktor Janukowitsch führten, mehren sich Hinweise, die erhebliche Zweifel an der offiziellen Version der Ereignisse aufkommen lassen. Nach Recherchen des WDR-Magazins Monitor ist es unwahrscheinlich, dass die Schüsse auf Demonstranten ausschließlich von Seiten der damaligen ukrainischen Führung unter Janukowitsch ausgingen.
Generalstaatsanwaltschaft und die neue Übergangsregierung hatten sich auf einer Pressekonferenz vor einer Woche dahingehend festgelegt. Zwölf Mitglieder der mittlerweile aufgelösten Spezialeinheit "Berkut" wurden daraufhin festgenommen und als Hauptschuldige präsentiert.
Die Sondereinheit "Berkut" wurde aufgelöst, zwölf Mitglieder sind in Haft.
Ermittler zweifelt an Version der Staatsanwaltschaft
Ein hochrangiges Mitglied des Ermittlerteams der ukrainischen Regierung, das an den Untersuchungen beteiligt ist, zieht die Aussagen der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft in Zweifel. "Meine Untersuchungsergebnisse stimmen nicht mit dem überein, was die Staatsanwaltschaft in der Pressekonferenz erklärt hat", berichtet der Ermittler, der anonym bleiben will, Monitor.
Dem ARD-Magazin liegt zudem ein Mitschnitt des Funkverkehrs von Scharfschützen vor, die dem Lager von Ex-Präsident Janukowitsch zuzurechnen sind und am Vormittag des 20. Februar offenbar auf verschiedenen Dächern im Zentrum von Kiew stationiert waren. Dieses Gespräch wurde von einem ukrainischen Amateurfunker mitgeschnitten, den Monitor getroffen hat. Darauf ist zu hören, wie ein Scharfschütze seine Kollegen über Funk fragt: "Wer hat da geschossen? Unsere Leute schießen nicht auf Unbewaffnete." Kurze Zeit später sagt ein anderer: "Den hat jemand erschossen. Aber nicht wir." Dann fügt er hinzu: "Gibt es da noch mehr Scharfschützen? Und wer sind die?"
Auch Schüsse aus dem Hotel Ukraina
Auf Videos ist außerdem zu erkennen, dass die Oppositionellen auf der Institutska-Straße nicht nur aus Richtung der Regierungsgebäude beschossen wurden, sondern auch vom Hotel Ukraina, das in ihrem Rücken lag. Im Interview mit Monitor bestätigt das ein Augenzeuge, der sich an dem Tag zwischen diesem Hotel und den Regierungsgebäuden aufgehalten hatte und auf mehreren Videos auszumachen ist: "Wir wurden von vorn beschossen und auch von hinten, etwa aus der achten oder neunten Etage des Hotels Ukraina. Das waren auf jeden Fall Profis."
Das Hotel, in dem auch zahlreiche Medienvertreter untergebracht waren, befand sich an jenem Tag fest in der Hand der Opposition. Am Morgen des 20. Februars hatte sie Einlasskontrollen eingeführt, in das Hotel kam nur noch, wer einen Zimmerschlüssel hatte oder sich ausweisen konnte.
Demonstranten verschanzen sich am 20. Februar auf dem Maidan hinter Schutzschilden. Ein angeschossener Regierungsgegner wird auf einer Trage vom Platz gebracht.
Anwälte bekommen keine Informationen
Auch die Anwälte von Angehörigen und Verwundeten erheben schwere Vorwürfe gegen die ukrainische Generalstaatsanwaltschaft. Die bisherigen Ergebnisse der Ermittlungen würden ihnen fast komplett vorenthalten. "Wir haben nicht gesagt bekommen, welcher Typ Waffen verwendet wurde, wir bekommen keinen Zugang zu den Gutachten, wir bekommen die Einsatzpläne nicht. Die anderen Ermittlungsdokumente haben wir auch nicht. Wir können gar nicht sagen, was aus Sicht der Staatsanwaltschaft eigentlich passiert ist." Einer der Anwälte vergleicht das sogar mit den Zuständen in der Sowjetunion und unter Janukowitsch: "Die Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt nicht richtig. Die decken ihre Leute, die sind parteiisch, so wie früher."
Der 20. Februar war der blutigste Tag der Unruhen rund um den Unabhängigkeitsplatz in Kiew. Nach offiziellen Angaben starben in allein an diesem Tag auf der Institutska-Straße mehr als 30 Menschen.
