KHARTOUM, July 14 (Reuters) - Kidnappers of two female aid workers in Sudan's Darfur region have demanded $2 million for their release, but the government is determined not to pay, a minister said on Tuesday.
The two workers for Irish aid group GOAL were seized by armed men on July 3 from their base in the north Darfur town of Kutum -- the third abduction of foreign humanitarian staff in the region in four months.
"The kidnappers are asking for $2 million. But our policy is not to pay ransom. We feel that would encourage others to do the same," said state minister for humanitarian affairs Abdel Baqi al-Jailani.
The minister said Darfur officials were using local leaders to negotiate with the kidnappers, adding he was still expecting a positive outcome. "Our main priority remains the safety of the two women," he told Reuters.
Irish negotiators and government officials have sent teams to Khartoum and El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, to help free the women, named by GOAL as Hilda Kawuki, 42, from Uganda, and Sharon Commins, 32, from Dublin.
Two groups of foreign aid workers kidnapped in Darfur earlier this year were released unharmed after a period of negotiation.
A group calling itself the Eagles of Bashir said it seized staff from the Belgian arm of Medecins Sans Frontieres in north Darfur in March to protest against the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant for Sudan's president Omar Hassan al-Bashir, to face charges of human rights abuses in the region. Bashir has dismissed the allegations.
Another group, calling itself the Freedom Eagles of Africa, said it abducted staff from Aide Medicale Internationale in south Darfur in April to demand Paris retry members of Zoe's Ark, a French humanitarian group, convicted but later pardoned over the abduction of children from Chad.
The six-year Darfur conflict has pitted pro-government militias and troops against mostly non-Arab rebels, who took up arms in 2003, accusing Khartoum of neglecting the region.
Estimates of the death toll range from 10,000 according to Khartoum, to 300,000 according to U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes.
The minister said reports in Sudanese state media the abductors were asking for $200 million were incorrect.

Irish pork products on sale since September 2008 were recalled last night following fears that pigs had been given feed contaminated by harmful toxins.
The Food Standards Agency of Ireland revealed pork products on several farms across the country were found to have up to 200 times more dioxins than the accepted safe limit.
The recall affects products sold across Ireland and the UK since 1 September. Consumers and retailers are now being encouraged to destroy all Irish pork and bacon products bought since that date.
The FSAI admitted suspicions over contamination were first raised last Monday, as a result of routine testing of pigs, when restrictions were placed on some pig farms. But the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was only confirmed yesterday by tests from a UK laboratory.
The contamination has been traced back to an ingredient in an animal feed from one supplier, which was used at 47 different farms.
They include 37 beef farms, but it has not yet been necessary to withdraw the beef products. Chronic long-term exposure to the dioxin can have serious health effects, including causing cancers, but the FSAI said the recall will ensure consumers only had minimum exposure to it. A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Ireland (DAFF) said it was continuing to determine the extent of the contamination.
The Food Standards Agency in the UK said it did not think British consumers were at significant risk and was waiting for confirmation from the Irish authorities on whether any affected products had been distributed in the UK. It said in a statement: 'The FSA will assess information as it becomes available.'

The Irish government has ordered the recall of all pig products processed in the Republic since 1st September, following the discovery of extremely high levels of dioxins in slaughtered pigs which are thought to have eaten contaminated feed.
The Food Standards Agency of Ireland revealed that tests have shown that pork products from several farms contained over two hundred times more dioxin than the accepted safe limit. Food safety officials are investigating an animal-feeds factory in south-eastern Ireland which is thought to be the source of the contamination. It is thought that one cause of the contamination may have been the use of out-of-date bread which did not have its plastic wrapping removed before being processed into animal feed.
Northern Ireland's Agriculture Minister, Michelle Gildernew, said that restrictions were placed on nine farms in Northern Ireland on Friday, which had used the same source of animal feed. Northern Irish agriculture department officials have been in close contact with the Republic's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (DAFF) as the situation has developed. The British Food Standards Agency has advised British consumers not to eat pork or products such as pork sausages, bacon, salami or ham, from either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland, but expressed the view that there is no significant immediate health risk as exposure to dioxin has to be at a high level for a prolonged time to be dangerous.
Ireland exported €368 million worth of pigmeat products in 2007, half of it to Britain.
The Irish Association of Pigmeat Producers said that ten farms in the Republic had been affected, responsible for less than ten percent of total production, and that the recall was a precautionary move.

Consumers have been advised to avoid Irish pork
Nine Northern Ireland farms have used the same contaminated feed which has led to a recall of all pig products processed in the Republic. Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew said restrictions had been placed on the farms on Friday. The UK's Food Standards Agency has said pork from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland should not be eaten. Supermarkets in Northern Ireland have been removing pork sourced from across Ireland from their shelves. In Great Britain, Waitrose said it had withdrawn two lines of sausages sold under Northern Irish celebrity chef Paul Rankin's brand as a precaution. Consumers in the UK have not been told to destroy the products, but to wait for the results of further investigation. The recall started after dioxins were found in slaughtered Irish pigs, thought to have eaten contaminated feed. Ms Gildernew said restrictions were put in place on Friday night when the situation began to unfold. She said the nine Northern Ireland farms were identified on her department's electronic monitoring system. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. "My officials have been in close contact with their counterparts in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (DAFF) since this situation developed," she said. "There is obviously a large amount of north south movement of these products in Ireland and we need to carefully consider the way ahead." She added that Northern Ireland's Health Minisiter Michael McGimpsey was being kept informed of developments. The recall could have a serious impact on the Northern Ireland pig industry. BBC Northern Ireland consumer affairs correspondent Martin Cassidy said it was unclear if pig processors would be working as normal on Monday. "Farmers too are concerned," he said. "The contamination issue couldn't have come at a worse time in the run-up the lucrative Christmas gammon market." Following a meeting in Belfast the FSA said it would continue to investigate if any contaminated products had been distributed in the UK. "From the information that we have at this time, we do not believe there is significant risk to UK consumers as adverse health effects from eating the affected products are only likely if people are exposed to relatively high levels of this contaminant for long periods," the FSA said. Tests on the slaughtered Irish pigs showed some pork products contained up to 200 times more dioxins than the recognised safety limit. Exports The Irish Minister for Agriculture, Brendan Smith, said the problem was confined to 47 farms in his jurisdiction, including 38 beef farms. The FSAI said their initial assessment was that there was no risk to beef products, but the farms affected have been isolated and further investigations are ongoing to confirm that. The Food Safety Authority Ireland's chief executive Alan Reilly said: "The levels in the feed were very high. The levels in the pork itself were in the region of about 80-200 times above the safe limits." The Irish authorities have said contaminated pig meat could have been exported to as many as 25 countries. Padraig Walshe, president of the Irish Farmers' Association, described the recall as "an absolute disaster" at an important time of the year for the pig sector. About 7,000 people are employed in the Republic of Ireland's pig industry, including about 1,200 on farms. Almost 500 farmers produce 3.6 million pigs annually, according to the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Agency. The industry exports approximately 60% of its production and is worth more than 250m euros (£216m) a year. Pizza The British Pig Executive said that between April-July this year, the UK imported 230,000 tonnes of pork and bacon, with up to 15,000 of those from the Republic of Ireland. Bacon, ham, sausages, white pudding and pizzas with ham toppings must be included in the withdrawal of stocks, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland said. Dioxins are formed during combustion processes, such as waste incineration, and during some industrial processes. The presence of the dioxin polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) - a substance banned in the Irish Republic since the 1970s - in animal feed and pork samples was confirmed on Saturday afternoon in test results from a UK laboratory. Chronic long-term exposure to the dioxin can have serious health effects, including causing cancers, but Irish officials said the recall would ensure consumers only had minimum exposure to it.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Food Standards Agency warned consumers on Sunday not to eat pork from Ireland or Northern Ireland after Dublin ordered a recall of pigmeat due to contamination with potentially cancer-causing dioxins.
The FSA said it was investigating whether any contaminated pork or pork products had been distributed in the UK, which is a major importer of Irish pigmeat.
"The Food Standards Agency is today advising consumers not to eat pork or pork products, such as sausages, bacon, salami and ham, which are labelled as being from the Irish Republic or Northern Ireland," the FSA said on its website.
The Irish government said on Saturday that laboratory tests of animal feed and pork fat samples confirmed the presence of dioxins, with toxins at 80-200 times the safe limits. It ordered an immediate recall of all pork and pork products.
Ireland exported 368 million euros (317 million pounds) worth of pigmeat in 2007, half of it to Britain, but the FSA said it did not believe there was any "significant" risk.
"People shouldn't be too concerned," an FSA spokesman said. "It's not an immediate toxic risk. With dioxins it's a problem when you have exposure at high levels over a long period of time. We are only talking about a problem since September."
He said the FSA was waiting for information from Irish authorities on the UK end destinations of Irish pork products.
"From the information that we have at this time we do not believe there is significant risk to UK consumers," the FSA said. Continued...

FOOD safety inspectors are investigating an animal feeds factory in the south east which is suspected of being the cause of a major health scare.
The Department of Agriculture has banned a number of pig farms from selling or slaughtering their animals after its inspectors found traces of a toxic industrial pollutant in their pigs.
It is understood that one possible source of the contamination is out-of-date bread, which did not have its packaging removed, and was subsequently used in the production of animal feed for pigs.
However, it is not known yet if there is any threat to human health because the testing of the contaminated samples has not yet been completed.
'Dirty'
The department inspectors discovered the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in the slaughtered pigs.
These organic compounds were used widely as coolants and lubricating fluids, but production of them was banned in the 1970s due to their high toxicity.
They are a part of a group of organic compounds known as the "dirty dozen" due to their resistance to being degraded environmentally and exposure to them can lead to death or illness.
It is suspected that the failure to remove packaging from recycled bread used in pig feed may be behind the presence of PCBs in the slaughtered pigs.
Fine Gael TD Fergus O'Dowd, who was contacted about the issue by a concerned constituent working in the food industry, called on the department to ensure that appropriate action was taken to deal with any potential threat to people's health.
The Department of Agriculture has declined to provide further details about the suspected factory on the grounds that it would not be fair to identify any particular business until further tests were carried out.
Restricted
In a statement, it said that a small number of pig farms had been restricted as a precautionary measure.
"Animals from these farms will only be allowed to enter the food chain if they are shown to be free of the contaminant following laboratory testing," it said.
The testing is taking place this weekend in the State laboratory in Celbridge, Co Kildare, and additional samples have been sent to the UK for testing.
The department said it will provide the results and make a further statement on Monday.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland, which is monitoring the potential human health implications of the contamination scare, was not available for comment last night.

Iraq have been given 72 hours by Fifa to resolve the dispute [AFP] World football's governing body Fifa has threatened Iraq's FA with suspension if they do not restore their disbanded national federation by Thursday. Iraq's Olympic Committee dissolved the national football authority's ruling board on Monday, alleging financial and administrative irregularities and repeatedly delayed elections. Fifa announced it was an "incomprehensible'' decision to dissolve the Asian Cup winners' association. "The basis on which such a decision could be taken is incomprehensible to Fifa,'' the international governing body said in a statement. "This stands in total contradiction with (Iraqi federation) and Fifa statutes.'' Power struggle The leaders of Iraq's Olympic committee and the Iraqi Football Association have been embroiled in a power struggle for control of the sport for at least a year. Olympic committee members blame the IFA for a continuing Fifa ban on Iraq hosting international matches due to lingering insecurity. Fifa this year allowed Iraq to host its first friendlies since the 2003 US-led invasion, and Iraq beat Palestine in two matches played in the northern city of Arbil and in Baghdad. But the general ban remains in place The Olympic committee has demanded the IFA elect a new governing board but the football federation has refused to do so. Olympic committee members were enraged when Fifa intervened to extend the mandate of the IFA's board. "We will not reverse our decision to disband the Iraqi Soccer Federation," Samir al-Moussawi, an official of the Olympic committee, said, adding the panel would endeavour to explain its position to Fifa. Iraq has been given 72 hours to restore the IFA or the matter will be referred to the Fifa Emergency Committee which would almost certainly result in suspension. "Fifa appeals once more to all stakeholders in Iraq to respect the autonomy of sport in general and the IFA in particular and to allow IFA to conduct its affairs according its statutes and those of FIFA," the statement added. The deputy head of the IFA, Najih Hmoud, said the Olympic committee's actions were "illegitimate and illegal". "This decision is wrong and damages the public interest of Iraq," he said. Interference Fifa rules seek to protect football officials from government interference. Fifa can ban national teams and officials, including referees, from taking part in international matches and events even if they are not to blame for government meddling. Last month, Fifa granted the Iraq FA until April 30, 2010 to adopt new statutes and elect a new board, stressing that the process had to be independent and free of government interference.

The governing body of world football, FIFA, has threatened Iraq with expulsion after the Iraqi Olympic Committee (IOC) took control of the country's governing body of football and disbanded it. FIFA has given the country 72 hours to restore the Iraq Football Association (IFA); if this is not done, the case is to be referred to FIFA’s emergency committee.
The IFA and the IOC have disputed over who controls the game in the country for several years. The IOC has blamed the IFA for the FIFA ban on the country not being allowed to host international friendly matches due to security reasons. Since the 2003 invasion by American forces, Iraq has hosted two internationals matches, both against Palestine. They are due to play against the United Arab Emirates tomorrow, but the general ban still remains in place.
A statement was released on the FIFA website said: "FIFA appeals once more to all stakeholders in Iraq to respect the autonomy of sport in general and the IFA in particular and to allow IFA to conduct its affairs according its statutes and those of FIFA."
Should the case be passed over to FIFA’s emergency committee, it would most likely result in a ban from the sport.

FIFA has learnt that the Iraqi Olympic Committee announced the dissolution of the governing board of the IFA.
The basis on which such a decision could be taken is incomprehensible to FIFA. This stands in total contradiction with IFA and FIFA statutes.
If the decision to dissolute IFA is not cancelled withing 72 hours (starting 16 November), and if the IFA Headquerters are not returned to the IFA within the same deadline, FIFA will have no choice but to refer the issue to the FIFA Emergency Committee in order to decide on a possible IFA suspension.

Au moins cinq personnes - quatre personnes âgées et un enfant - sont mortes à la suite du tremblement de terre de magnitude 8, suivi d'un tsunami, qui ont touché les îles Salomon, au nord-est de l'Australie, dans le Pacifique. Le nombre de victimes pourrait toutefois être plus élevé.
La secousse s'est produite mercredi à 12 h 12, heure locale, entre les îles Salomon et le Vanuatu. L'hypocentre du séisme a été localisé à une profondeur de 29 km, à une soixantaine de kilomètres de l'île de Lata, à trois heures de vol de la capitale des Salomon, Honiara. Plus d'une trentaine de répliques, allant jusqu'à une magnitude de 6,6, ont été enregistrées depuis.
Des vagues dépassant un mètre par rapport au niveau de la mer, déclenché par le séisme, ont atteint les îles Salomon, a déclaré le Centre d'alerte aux tsunamis du Pacifique, qui a rapidement levé l'alerte au tsunami.
« Il n'y a pas de menaces pour les autres zones littorales, même s'il peut y avoir des petites variations du niveau de la mer. Le séisme aurait dû être un peu plus fort pour provoquer un plus grand tsunami », a déclaré Brian Shiro, géophysicien au Centre de Hawaï.
Le directeur de l'hôpital de Lata, sur l'île principale de l'archipel des Santa Cruz, Ndende, rapporte que des villages côtiers auraient été endommagés ou détruits.
De son côté, le bureau du premier ministre des îles Salomon a confirmé à la BBC que plusieurs dizaines de maisons avaient été endommagées, certaines très gravement, par les inondations. Selon cette même source, l'eau serait rentrée sur 500 mètres dans les terres.
Les communications sont très difficiles entre les différentes parties des îles, notamment du fait de l'éloignement. Le gouvernement concentre ses efforts à nettoyer les pistes d'aéroport afin de pouvoir dépêcher des troupes sur les lieux les plus affectés.
Irene Scott, une journaliste des îles Salomon, a déclaré à la BBC, que plusieurs maisons ont été inondées dans l'est de l'île Temotu, la province la plus orientale des îles Salomon.
Le dernier séisme mortel aux îles Salomon remonte à 2007 et avait fait 52 morts.
En Nouvelle-Calédonie, les autorités ont ordonné l'évacuation des populations des îles Loyauté puis de la côte est de la Grande Terre par mesure de sécurité, avant de les autoriser à rentrer chez elles.
L'alerte au tsunami a été levée trois heures après le séisme. Elle était en vigueur en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Une surveillance accrue était également recommandée dans d'autres secteurs du Pacifique, comme les îles Samoa, la Nouvelle-Zélande et l'Indonésie, sans toutefois qu'ils fassent l'objet d'une alerte au tsunami.

Un tremblement de terre de magnitude 8 a provoqué un tsunami d'une hauteur de 1 m au large des îles Salomon.
Ce mercredi, une secousse de magnitude 8 qui s'est produite dans l'océan Pacifique au large des îles Salomon a déclenché un tsunami d'une hauteur de 1 m. Des villages ont été détruits le long des côtes ouest et sud de l'île de Lata. Un porte-parole du premier ministre a déclaré qu'aucune perte de vie n'a été rapportée.
L'hypocentre a été localisé à une profondeur de 29 km entre les îles Salomon et le Vanuatu à environ 60 km de l'île de Lata. Depuis, plusieurs répliques d'une magnitude atteignant 6,6 ont été observées. Une alerte au tsunami est toujours en vigueur en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et en Nouvelle-Calédonie.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake caused a tsunami that sent strong waves crashing into several South Pacific islands, with officials in the Solomon Islands fearful that some residents had lost their lives.
The earthquake prompted tsunami warnings and watches from several island chains to Australia and later New Zealand, but many of those were later canceled.
The low-lying Solomon Islands, however, were not spared. George Herming, a government spokesman, said the tsunami sent two nearly five-foot waves into the western side of Santa Cruz Island, damaging at least 50 homes.
The police commissioner of the islands, John Lansley, said his patrols reported that said that at least four people and perhaps more were likely killed by the waves and ensuing flooding.
Richard Dapo, a school principal on an island near Santa Cruz, told the Associated Press that he had been getting calls from families on the coast whose homes have been damaged by the waves.
“I try to tell the people living on the coastline, ‘Move inland, find a higher place. Make sure to keep away from the sea. Watch out for waves,”’ he said.
The earthquake struck around 11 a.m. local time in the Santa Cruz Islands. There were conflicting reports as to the depth of the quake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the tsunami warning was limited to the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, and Wallis and Futuna.
A lesser alert, a tsunami watch, was declared for American Samoa, Australia, Guam, the Northern Marianas, New Zealand and eastern Indonesia.
The earthquake was not only powerful but also shallow, which gave it significant potential to cause damage, said Barry Hirshorn, a geophysicist with the National Weather Service in Hawaii. Moreover, it was a thrust earthquake, he said, meaning that the sea floor moved up or down, not sideways, contributing to the potential for a dangerous tsunami.
But after the earthquake, as scientists watched to see how far a tsunami might spread, there were few early indications of a major threat beyond the immediate area, Mr. Hirshorn said. A water rise of about three feet had been observed close to the quake, he said, still high enough to be potentially damaging but probably not big enough to threaten distant shores.
In New Zealand, thousands of people were at the beach, swimming in the sea on a glorious summer afternoon on Waitangi Day, a national holiday — quite oblivious to the potential for a tsunami. Tsunami sirens were set off late in the afternoon there, and people in coastal areas were being told to stay off beaches and out of the sea, rivers and estuaries.
The New Zealand Herald reported Wednesday afternoon on its Web site that tsunami sirens in Suva, the capital of Fiji, had been warning people to stay inside or go to higher ground.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported on its Web site on Wednesday that the Solomon Islands’ National Disaster Management Office had advised those living in low-lying areas, especially on Makira and Malaita, to move to higher ground.

Racial Violence Shocks Australian City
Racial Unrest Strikes Australia; Thousands Riot at Sydney Beach After Report Lifeguards Attacked

SYDNEY, Australia Dec 11, 2005 Thousands of drunken white youths attacked police and people they believed were Arab immigrants at a Sydney beach on Sunday, angered by reports that youths of Lebanese descent had assaulted two lifeguards.
Young men of Arab descent retaliated in several Sydney suburbs, fighting with police and smashing 40 cars with sticks and bats, police said.
Thirty-one people were injured and 28 were arrested in hours of violence. Police said they were seeking an Arab man who allegedly stabbed a white man in the back.
The city was calm Monday, and police formed a strike force to track down the instigators.
Some 5,000 white youths, wrapped in Australian flags and chanting racist slurs, fought with police, attacked people of Arab appearance and assaulted a pair of paramedics at Cronulla beach in southern Sydney, police said. Police fought back with batons and pepper spray.
Prime Minister John Howard condemned the violence, but said he did not believe racism was widespread in Australia.
"Attacking people on the basis of their race, their appearance, their ethnicity, is totally unacceptable and should be repudiated by all Australians irrespective of their own background and their politics," Howard said.
He added, "I'm not going to put a general tag (of) racism on the Australian community."
The rioters were reacting to reports that youths of Lebanese descent were responsible for an attack last weekend on two of the beach's lifeguards.
Police had increased the number of officers patrolling the beach after mobile phone text messages circulated calling for retaliation for the attack on the guards.
One white teenager among the rioters had the words "We grew here, you flew here" painted on his back. On the sand, someone had written "100 percent Aussie pride."
Two paramedics in an ambulance were injured as they tried to help youths trying to escape rioters, when members of the mob smashed the vehicle's windows and kicked its doors.
TV broadcasts showed a group of young women attacking another woman, whose ethnicity was not immediately clear.

Graves disturbios raciales se presentaron el 11 de diciembre en Sydney, Australia cuando jóvenes anglosajones decidieron atacar a la policía y asaltar a toda persona de apariencia árabe que se aproximara a las playas de Cronulla y Maroubra al sudeste de la ciudad.
Los disturbios se originaron a raíz de la noticia de que un joven de origen libanés había golpeado a uno de los salvavidas de la playa de Cronulla el fin de semana inmediatamente anterior. Los jóvenes de la localidad de Cronulla decidieron entonces formar patrullas para impedir que "forasteros" se aproximaran a las playas del sector y atacaron a dos jóvenes de origen libanés que se acercaron a la playa. Este hecho fue ampliamente difundido por la televisión australiana, causando estupor en la comunidad libanesa cuyos jóvenes reaccionaron concurriendo masivamente al sector generando una escalada del conflicto. El día domingo, aproximadamente 5.000 jóvenes que cantaban lemas racistas se habían agrupado para impedir el paso de los "wogs", como despectivamente se denomina a las personas no anglosajonas.
El primer ministro, John Howard, inmediatamente condenó los incidentes advirtiendo que "''atacar personas con base en su raza, apariencia o su origen étnico es totalmente inaceptable y debe por lo tanto ser objeto de repudio por todos los australianos sin importar su origen ni su afiliación política''".
Existe temor entre las autoridades de que se dé un empeoramiento de los desórdenes al detectarse que los jóvenes de uno y otro bando se están enviando mensajes de texto vía celular en los cuales se planea de un lado atacar la mezquitas y del otro extender los disturbios a otros suburbios para vengar los asaltos a la comunidad libanesa.

December 12, 2005 - 1:07PM
Attacking people on their basis of their race is totally unacceptable, Prime Minister John Howard says.
But while condemning yesterday's violence in Sydney, Mr Howard today refused to call Australians racist.
Federal Opposition leader Kim Beazley also condemned the race-related riots in Sydney, urging political, religious and community leaders to help police uphold the law.
"The Australian Labor Party utterly condemns the mob violence at Cronulla over the weekend," Mr Beazley told reporters in Perth today.
"We respect the rule of law, Australians respect the rule of law, and I urge the New South Wales government and the police forces to make absolutely certain the rule of law is upheld.
"There can be no excuse for mob violence."
Mr Howard described weekend's events as "sickening". He condemned incidents in which up to 5,000 people descended on North Cronulla Beach, chanting racist slogans and attacking people of Middle Eastern appearance.
The violence sparked apparent reprisal attacks late last night, with cars damaged at Maroubra Beach.
"Attacking people on the basis of their race, their appearance, their ethnicity, is totally unacceptable and should be repudiated by all Australians irrespective of their own background and their politics," he said.
"I believe yesterday's behaviour was completely unacceptable but I'm not going to put a general tag (of) racism on the Australian community.
"I think it's a term that is flung around sometimes carelessly and I'm simply not going to do so."
Mr Howard also dismissed any suggestion his government's warnings about home-grown terrorists had fuelled the rampage.
"It is impossible to know how individuals react but everything this government's said about home-grown terrorism has been totally justified," Mr Howard told reporters in Sydney.
"It is a potential threat. To suggest that one should remain silent ... knowing what I know because that might antagonise someone else is a complete failure of leadership."
Mr Howard said he fully supported the actions of police at Cronulla and anybody who broke the law yesterday or on the previous weekend, when two lifeguards and a camera crew were assaulted, should be apprehended and prosecuted.
Mr Howard warned anyone considering further violent behaviour they would face the full force of the law.
"Nobody in this country has a right to take the law into their own hands.
"It applied to the behaviour of people yesterday, it applied to the behaviour of people on the beach the previous weekend.
"Any action the NSW Police take in response to that has my full support."
Separately, Treasurer Peter Costello also condemned yesterday's violence.
"We don't want to see Australia become like this - it's not the Australia we know, it's not the Australia we want," he told the ABC.
"We don't want gangs fighting each other in public places, what we want is we want the opportunity for people to safely go about their business and enjoy the beach."

"Apokalypse" steht bevor Amokläufer von Ansbach hinterließ Schriften Der Amokläufer, der sich in psychotherapeutischer Behandlung befunden haben soll, hat Schriftstücke zu seiner Tat hinterlassen. Darin soll er von einer bevorstehenden "Apokalypse" geschrieben haben.
Der Amokläufer von Ansbach hat sich offenbar vor seiner Tat schriftlich mit seinen Plänen beschäftigt. Polizeisprecherin Elke Schönwald sagte, bei der Durchsuchung des Zimmers des 18-Jährigen seien Schriftstücke gefunden worden, "die auf eine geplante Tat schließen lassen". Diese würden zurzeit ausgewertet. Laptop und PC des Schülers seien sichergestellt worden. Der Bayerische Rundfunk hatte zuvor berichtet, im Zimmer des 18-Jährigen seien Briefe gefunden worden, in den von einer bevorstehenden "Apokalypse" die Rede gewesen sei. Der Sender berichtete zudem, der Gymnasiast habe sich schon seit längerem in einer Psychotherapie befunden. Dazu konnte Schönwald keine Angaben machen.
Ein Schüler des Ansbacher Gymnasiums hat das Vorgehen des Amokläufers als planmäßig beschrieben. Der Täter habe einen Molotow-Cocktail in ein Klassenzimmer geworfen und dann vor der Tür mit einer Axt auf die flüchtenden Jugendlichen gewartet, sagte der Schüler dem Radiosender Antenne Bayern. "Wir haben zuerst gedacht das war ein Scherz, aber dann hat alles gebrannt." Ein Mitschüler sei von der brennenden Flüssigkeit im Gesicht erwischt worden, er selbst habe sich gerade noch sein T-Shirt ausziehen können, das ebenfalls Feuer gefangen hatte.
Motiv des Amokläufers noch rätselhaft
Vor der Tür des Klassenzimmers habe der Täter ein Mädchen mit der Axt getroffen. Die Lehrer hätten das verwundete Mädchen dann nach draußen getragen. Den Täter selbst beschreibt der Schüler als "ganz normal". Allerdings sei er ein Einzelgänger gewesen, "er ist in der Klasse alleine gesessen."
Insgesamt verletzte der Amokläufer von Ansbach acht Mitschüler und einen Lehrer teils lebensgefährlich, bevor er selbst von Polizisten niedergeschossen wurde. Eine Schülerin schwebte am späten Donnerstagnachmittag noch in Lebensgefahr. Das Motiv des Täters liegt für Lehrer und Ermittler völlig im Dunkeln: "Was ihn zum Ausrasten bewogen hat weiß niemand", sagte Generalstaatsanwalt Klaus Hubmann.
Zweiter Brandsatz zündete nicht
Schlimmeres wurde laut Polizei nur verhindert, weil ein anderer Schüler sofort die Polizei alarmierte und eine Streife den Amokläufer nur elf Minuten später überwältigen konnte, wie der bayerische Innenminister Joachim Herrmann sagte. Nach seinen Worten ging der Notruf um 8.35 Uhr ein.
"Der Täter war bewaffnet mit zwei Messern, drei Molotow-Cocktails und einer Axt", sagte Polizei-Einsatzleiter Udo Dreher. Im dritten Stock des Carolinum-Gymnasiums mitten in Ansbach habe der Schüler einen Molotow-Cocktail in das Zimmer einer 11. Klasse geschleudert und sei mit der Axt auf Schülerinnen losgegangen. Ein Mädchen erlitt eine lebensgefährliche Schädelverletzung, ein anderes eine schwere Brandverletzung. Dann schleuderte der Schüler der 13. Klasse einen weiteren Brandsatz in das schräg gegenüber liegende Zimmer der 9. Klasse, der aber nicht zündete.
Geschwister in derselben Schule
Die erste Polizeistreife traf um 08.43 Uhr ein und stellte den Täter im Toilettenbereich, wie der Einsatzleiter weiter sagte. Weil der Bewaffnete sich nicht ergeben habe, sondern drohend auf die Polizistin und den Polizisten zugegangen sei, hätten diese ihm mit einer Maschinenpistole fünf Kugeln in den Oberkörper geschossen. Um 8.46 Uhr sei er festgenommen gewesen. Nach einer Operation sei er außer Lebensgefahr, man habe ihn aber noch nicht vernehmen können.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft beantragte Haftbefehl wegen versuchten Mordes. Der 18-jährige Schüler sei der Polizei nicht bekannt und nicht vorbestraft, sagte Herrmann. Ob der junge Mann die beiden schwer verletzten Mädchen in der 11. Klasse ganz gezielt attackiert habe, sei völlig offen. Nach Polizeiangaben hat der junge Mann Geschwister, die auch an der Schule sind.
Schüler gab Alarm und löschte Feuer
Ein Schüler der 13. Klasse habe Lärm und Brandgeruch bemerkt und die Polizei gerufen, sagte Herrmann. Außerdem habe der Junge, der bei der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr ist, selbst das Feuer in einem Klassenzimmer gelöscht. Nicht zuletzt sein couragiertes Vorgehen habe eine ruhige, geordnete Evakuierung des Schulgebäudes ermöglicht, lobten auch Dreher und Kultusminister Ludwig Spaenle.
Viele Schüler hätten bei dem Alarm zunächst an eine Übung gedacht, sagte Rektor Franz Stark. Nach der Evakuierung des Gebäudes habe die benachbarte Agentur für Arbeit den über 600 Schülern sofort Zuflucht geboten, während die Polizei in einem Großeinsatz die Schule abriegelte und nach möglichen weiteren Tätern oder Brandsätzen durchsuchte. Kriseninterventionsteams, Psychologen und Seelsorger hätten die Schüler und Eltern dann vor Ort betreut.
Elf Minuten zwischen Alarm und Festnahme
Bei dem Vorgehen der Schule und der Polizei hätten sich die nach Winnenden verbesserten Alarmpläne bewährt, sagten beide Minister: "Entscheidend ist, dass die alarmierten Beamten sofort reagiert haben", sagte Herrmann. Das habe den Fortgang des Amoklaufs und "eine drohende Eskalation verhindert". Elf Minuten vom Notruf bis zur Festnahme, "das ist mehr als vorbildlich". Generalstaatsanwalt Hubmann sagte: "Man möchte sich nicht ausdenken, was passiert wäre, wenn es länger gedauert hätte, da der 18-Jährige ja noch bewaffnet war."
Das Gymnasium Carolinum liegt mitten in der Altstadt von Ansbach. Die 1528 gegründete Schule ist das zweitälteste staatliche Gymnasium in Bayern.

In Ansbach kam es am heutigen Morgen zu einem Amoklauf eines 19-Jährigen am Gymnasium Carolinum.
Der Täter stürmte am Morgen um 8:30 Uhr mit Brandsätzen (sogenannten Molotowcocktails), Messern und einer Axt bewaffnet das Gymnasium. Dann wurden in einer achten Klasse zwei Brandsätze gezündet. Dabei wurden zwei Schüler schwer- und acht leichtverletzt. Die Verletzungen kommen nur zum Teil von den Brandsätzen. Ob, und mit welcher Waffe, weitere Verletzungen zugeführt wurden, ist derzeit unklar. Die Verletzten stammen nicht nur aus der erwähnten 8. Klasse.
Der Amokläufer konnte noch vor Ort überwältigt und gegen 08:45 Uhr verhaftet werden. Dabei schoss die Polizei mit einer Maschinenpistole auf den 19-Jährigen und verletzte ihn. Der Festgenommene wurde schwer verletzt in ein Klinikum eingeliefert.
Der Täter ging selbst in die 13. Klasse an dem Gymnasium und hat auch jüngere Geschwister an dem Gymnasium. Das Motiv, weshalb er gerade in die 8. Klasse ging, ist bislang unbekannt. Mitschüler bezeichnen den Täter als Einzelgänger.
Die Schüler und Lehrer der Schule fanden inzwischen in der benachbarten Bundesagentur für Arbeit Unterschlupf. Hier werden sie gemeinsam mit ihren herbeigeeilten Eltern psychologisch betreut.
Das Gymnasium wurde von der Polizei erfolglos nach weiteren Tätern durchsucht. Sie geht von einem Einzeltäter aus.

Mit Axt, Messern und Molotowcocktails
Anschlag auf Schule in Ansbach
Mit einer Axt und Molotow-Cocktails ist ein Gymnasiast an seiner Schule Amok gelaufen. Obwohl die Polizei ihn mit mehreren Schüssen stoppen konnte, verletzte er acht Mitschüler und einen Lehrer. Von der Vernehmung des bislang einzigen überlebenden Amokläufers erhoffen sich Kriminologen Aufschluss über dessen Motiv.
Eine Elftklässlerin schwebte in Lebensgefahr, nachdem ihr der Täter mit der Axt auf den Kopf geschlagen hatte. Zudem erlitt eine Neuntklässlerin schwere Brandwunden, als der bewaffnete Jugendliche zwei Brandsätze in Klassenräume warf. Polizisten stoppten den Täter schließlich mit fünf Schüssen aus einer Maschinenpistole und verletzten ihn schwer. Die Staatsanwaltschaft beantragte Haftbefehl wegen versuchten Mordes gegen den 18-Jährigen. In seinem Zimmer hätten die Ermittler Briefe gefunden, in denen von einer bevorstehenden Apokalypse die Rede war, berichtete der Bayerische Rundfunk.
Schüler ergriffen die Initiative
Der in Ansbach lebende Schüler war am Morgen mit einer Axt, Messern und drei Molotow-Cocktails bewaffnet in das im 16. Jahrhundert gegründete Gymnasium Carolinum gestürmt, das zu den ältesten Schulen Deutschlands zählt. Jeweils einen Brandsatz warf der 18-Jährige in eine 9. und eine 11. Klasse im dritten Stock; es brach aber nur in einem Raum Feuer aus. Nach der Attacke rannten zwei Schüler ins Direktorat und alarmierten die Schulleitung, die die Polizei rief. Ein Schüler der 13. Klasse setzte einen Notruf ab und begann mit den Löscharbeiten. Die Polizei rückte mit einem Großaufgebot an, zahlreiche Mannschaftswagen rasten zum Einsatzort.
Täter von fünf Kugeln getroffen
Elf Minuten nach dem ersten Notruf, um 8.46 Uhr, wurde der Täter in der Toilette der Schule überwältigt. Weil er sich nicht sofort ergab, eröffneten eine Polizistin und ihr Kollege das Feuer. Der 18-Jährige wurde von fünf Kugeln in den Körper getroffen und später in einer Klinik operiert. "Es gelang mit dem schnellen Einsatz, eine schlimmere Eskalation zu verhindern", sagte Bayerns Innenminister Joachim Herrmann (CSU). Er bezeichnete den Zustand des Täters als kritisch. Der junge Mann hatte keine Vorstrafen und war der Polizei bis dahin unbekannt.
Erfurt und Winnenden bieten Hilfe an
Nach Angaben von Schulleiter Franz Stark trugen Lehrer nach der Attacke die Verletzten aus der Schule. Die meisten der vom Feueralarm auf den Schulhof geholten Jugendlichen hätten zuerst an eine Übung geglaubt, berichtete Stark sichtlich bewegt. "Es fällt mir schwer, dazu Stellung zu nehmen." Der Unterricht am Freitag wurde abgesagt. Die Schüler sollen aber Gelegenheit erhalten, mit Fachleuten über das Erlebte zu sprechen. Thüringen und Baden-Württemberg boten nach ihren Erfahrungen mit den Amokläufen in Erfurt und Winnenden ihre Hilfe an. Die Stadt Ansbach richtete zudem ein Seelsorgetelefon ein.
Die verletzten Schüler wurden zunächst in der Turnhalle untergebracht. Seelsorger und Psychologen betreuten in der nahe gelegenen Arbeitsagentur auch die übrigen Kinder und Jugendlichen. "Die Schüler helfen sich gegenseitig vorbildlich", berichtete Oberbürgermeisterin Carda Seidel (parteilos).
Feueralarm lotst Schüler ins Freie
Kritik äußerten hingegen Schülerinnen im lokalen Hörfunksender "Radio 8": Das Gymnasium verfüge nicht wie andere Schulen über einen speziellen Amokalarm. "Wir haben nicht mal eine Sprechanlage, nur so ein Feueralarmteil, diese Glocke", sagte ein Mädchen. Eine andere Schülerin unterstrich: "Wir waren total ahnungslos." Innenminister Herrmann verteidigte hingegen das Auslösen des Feueralarms, auch wenn die Schüler dadurch ins Freie geholt wurden, statt sich in ihren Klassenräumen zu verbarrikadieren.
"So etwas lässt sich nicht vermeiden: Eine Schule ist kein Hochsicherheitstrakt", betonte Kultusminister Ludwig Spaenle (CSU). Deshalb müsse es Präventionsmaßnahmen geben. Das Motiv des Täters blieb zunächst im Dunkeln. Amokläufer werden häufig von einer "Mischung aus kalter Wut und Verzweiflung" getrieben, sagte der Kriminalpsychologe Jens Hoffmann der dpa. "Wir sehen in solchen Fällen immer wieder Zurückweisungen von Mädchen und persönliche Krisen."
Täter könnte Aufschluss geben
Der niedersächsische Kriminologe Christian Pfeiffer hofft nun, dass die Vernehmung des Jungen Aufschluss über die Motive von Amokläufern gibt: "Das ist der erste überlebende Amokläufer, an den ich mich überhaupt erinnern kann", sagte der Wissenschaftler bei n-tv. "Er hat die Chance, uns Auskunft zu geben, was in ihm vorgegangen ist." Die bayerische Polizei habe "offensichtlich alles richtig gemacht": "Sie waren ungeheuer schnell da und haben den Täter kampfunfähig geschossen, ohne ihn zu töten."
Die bayerischen Lehrer forderten mehr Sicherheit an den Schulen. Sicherheitsaspekte sollten beim Bau neuer Schulen oder bei Umbauten stärker berücksichtigt werden, verlangte der Sprecher der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Bayerischer Lehrerverbände (ABL), Walter Fronczek.
Am Dienstag hatte in Bayern das neue Schuljahr begonnen. Das Carolinum mit seinen 650 Schülern ist das zweitälteste Gymnasium Bayerns. Gegründet wurde es im Jahr 1528. 1736 zog die Schule in das noch heute genutzte Gebäude mit seinem trutzigen Turm.

Fünf Tage nach dem Brandanschlag ist am Gymnasium Carolinum wieder der normale Unterricht aufgenommen worden. Weiterhin stehen Psychologen bereit, um traumatisierte Schüler zu betreuen. Dem 18-jährigen Täter wurde inzwischen im Krankenhaus der Haftbefehl eröffnet.
Zum ersten Mal nach dem Brandanschlag wurde heute (22.09.09) wieder ein regulärer Unterricht abgehalten. Der 18 Jahre alte Täter liegt noch immer mit Verletzungen im Krankenhaus. Ihm wurde am Krankenbett der Haftbefehl eröffnet, teilte die Polizei mit. Sein Pflichtverteidiger war ebenfalls anwesend. Angaben zur Sache machte der Schüler nicht.

Erster Schultag im Carolinum-Gymnasium: Regulärer Unterricht, aber keine NormalitätNach dem Brandanschlag eines Schülers versucht das Carolinum-Gymnasium in Ansbach langsam wieder zur Normalität zurückzukehren. Heute ist für die Schüler der erste reguläre Schultag. Von Normalität kann aber noch lange nicht die Rede sein, wie Andreas Ebert aus Ansbach berichtete.
Motiv des Täters war Menschenhass
Obwohl sich der 18-Jährige noch nicht zum Tathergang geäußert hat, steht das Motiv für die Staatsanwaltschaft fest. Den Angaben zufolge hätten wiederhergestellte Dateien auf der gelöschten Festplatte im Computer des 18-Jährigen ergeben, dass Hass sein Motiv gewesen war. Außerdem habe der Schüler unter starken Belastungen gestanden. So fühlte er sich in der Schule ungerecht behandelt und nicht anerkannt. In der sechsten Klasse sei er einmal im Bus geschlagen worden und niemand habe ihm geholfen. Er fürchtete zudem, an einer unheilbaren Krankheit zu erkranken und das Abitur nicht zu schaffen. Für diese Befürchtungen habe es allerdings keinen Anlass gegeben, so Lehnberger weiter.
Eigenen Tod offenbar eingeplant
Für seinen Gefühlszustand machte der Amokläufer in den Computer-Dateien großteils die Schule verantwortlich. Deshalb ließ er sich eigens ein T-Shirt mit der Aufschrift "Made in school" anfertigen, das er auch beim Amoklauf trug. In den sichergestellten Schriftstücken äußerte der Schüler auch, dass er nicht mehr leben wolle und kalkulierte bewusst den eigenen Tod mit ein.

Ansbach: Amoklauf war lange geplantAuf dem Computer des Täters hat die Staatsanwaltschaft zahlreiche Dateien gefunden. Unter anderem schreibt der 18-Jährige darin, er habe die Menschheit im Allgemeinen und vor allem die Schule gehasst. Zu den Ursachen seines Hasses schreibt er, dass er sich ungerecht behandelt fühlte.
Staatsanwältin: Täter wollte möglichst viele Schüler töten
Die wiederhergestellten Dokumente des 18-Jährigen hätten einen Umfang von fast 80 Seiten, so Lehnberger auf der Pressekonferenz. Die Aufzeichnungen beginnen bereits im April 2009 und richten sich an eine fiktive Ansprechpartnerin. Bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt habe der Schüler die Ereignisse des Anschlages geschildert. Sein Ziel sei es laut der Staatsanwältin gewesen, erst möglichst viele Schüler durch Feuer aus ihren Klassenzimmern zu treiben und dann zu töten. Den dritten Stock in der Schule habe sich der 18-Jährige ausgesucht, weil dort "die meisten Klassenzimmer sind", so Lehnberger weiter.
Tat Monate vorher geplant
Der Schüler war bei seiner Festnahme von drei Schüssen in die Brust, den Unterarm und den Bauch getroffen worden. Vorherige Angaben von fünf Schussverletzungen sind laut Hermann Lennert von der Kripo Ansbach nicht korrekt. Nach Befragung von 63 Zeugen könnten die Beamten den Tatablauf inzwischen genau rekonstruieren, so Lennert weiter. Demnach ging der 18-Jährige genau so vor, wie er es bereits in seinen Computerdokumenten geplant hatte. Auch seine Bewaffnung mit Molotowcocktails, Messern, Beil und Hammer hatte der Schüler bereits Monate vor der Tat geplant, so Lennert weiter.
"Wir sind füreinander da"
Am Sonntagabend (21.09.09) waren rund 1.000 Menschen zu einem ökumenischen Gottesdienst in die Ansbacher St.-Johannis-Kirche gekommen. In einem offenen Brief an die Gottesdienstbesucher entschuldigten sich dabei die Eltern des 18-jährigen Schülers für das Leid, das ihr Sohn über andere gebracht hätte. Alle könnten Gott dafür danken, dass das Schlimmste nicht eingetreten sei, sagte der evangelische Stadtdekan Hans Stiegler in seiner Predigt. In dieser schlimmen Stunde seien die Menschen in Ansbach füreinander da gewesen. Als Symbol für die Opfer des Anschlags wurden vier Kerzen entzündet: je eine für die beiden schwerverletzten 15-jährigen Mädchen, eine für die ganze Schulgemeinschaft und auch eine für den Täter.
Stichwort: Gymnasium Carolinum Das Gymnasium Carolinum ist das kleinste von drei Gymnasien in Ansbach und hat rund 700 Schüler. Es ist ein musisches Gymnasium und befindet sich direkt am Altstadtrand von Ansbach. Aufgrund seiner musischen Ausrichtung gilt das Gymnasium Carolinum als besonders ruhiges Gymnasium, von dem bislang auch kaum Probleme mit Gewalt an der Schule bekannt sind. Teile des Gymnasiums sind in die Reste der ehemaligen Stadtbefestigung Ansbachs hineingebaut. Das Carolinum ist das älteste Gymnasium in Ansbach und das zweitälteste in Bayern, besitzt eine lange humanistisch-musische Tradition und gilt als ein Vorzeigegymnasium in der mittelfränkischen Region.

psychotherapeutischer Behandlung. Im Zimmer des Täters hätten die Ermittler außerdem Briefe gefunden, in denen von einer bevorstehenden Apokalypse die Rede war.
Der Jugendliche aus Ansbach war gegen 8.30 Uhr in das Gebäude eingedrungen. Nach Angaben des Leiters des städtischen Ordnungsamtes hatte er sich mit einer Axt Zugang zu dem Gebäude verschafft. Bei sich trug er noch zwei Messer und mehrere Brandsätze, sogenannte Molotowcocktails.
Im Gymnasium ging er zu dem Raum einer elften Klasse. Dort zündet er einen Brandsatz und attackiert ein Mädchen mit der Axt. Das Mädchen erleidet schwere Kopfverletzungen, wird später mit dem Rettungshubschrauber in eine Klinik gebracht. Anschließend wirft er einen weiteren Molotowcocktail in den gegenüberliegenden Raum einer neunten Klasse.
Polizei war nach wenigen Minuten vor Ort
Bereits um 8.35 Uhr löst ein beherzter Schüler Feueralarm aus und ruft die Polizei. Der Jugendliche, Mitglied der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr, löscht selbst das Feuer in einem Klassenzimmer.
Wenige Minuten später ist eine Polizeistreife war vor Ort. Die Beamten überwältigten den Jugendlichen zehn Minuten nach der Tat. Mit fünf Schüssen aus einer Maschinenpistole streckten sie den 18-Jährigen nieder. Er erleidet schwere Beinverletzungen, ist nach einer Operation aber außer Lebensgefahr. "Es gab keinen Schusswechsel, sondern einseitigen Schusswaffengebrauch", sagte ein Polizeisprecher.
Die Polizei hatte das Gebäude wenige Minuten nach der Tat großflächig abgesperrt. Das Motiv des Jugendlichen sowie der genaue Hergang sind noch unklar. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat gegen den Schüler inzwischen Haftbefehl wegen versuchten Mordes beantragt.
Eine Klasse hatte sich zum Schutz vor dem Täter verbarrikadiert. Nachdem sie Schreie gehört und Rauch bemerkt hätten, habe ihre Lehrerin nach einem kurzen Blick aus dem Klassenzimmer sofort die Tür verschlossen und Tische und Stühle vor davor geschoben, berichtete eine Schülerin dem Ansbacher Radiosender Radio 8. «Wir haben uns dann in der Ecke versteckt», sagte die Gymnasiastin. Kurz darauf habe jemand an der Tür gerüttelt, vermutlich sei es der Täter gewesen.
Psychologische Betreuung in der Agentur für Arbeit
Die Polizei vermutet, dass der 18-Jährige allein gehandelt hat. Trotzdem durchkämmen Polizisten das Carolinum nach einem möglichen zweiten Täter.
Die Gymnasiasten sind in die benachbarte Agentur für Arbeit geschickt worden. Viele Schüler hatten bis dahin von dem Anschlag gar nichts mitbekommen. Sie hielten den Alarm für eine Übung. Erst als sie weinende Mitschüler auf dem Hof sahen, wussten sie, dass es dieses Mal Ernst ist.
Julius Kramer, der Bruder einer zwölfjährigen Schülerin aus dem Ansbacher Umland hatte über einen Bekannten schon sehr früh erfahren, dass an dem Gymnasium irgendetwas passiert sei. Anfangs war allerdings von einer Messerstecherei die Rede. Der 21-Jährige verschickte die Meldung über Twitter. Gleichzeitig fuhr seine Mutter zum Carolinum. Nach Stunden bangen Wartens erfuhr der Bruder: Seine Schwester ist wohlauf. "Sie trinkt gerade eine heiße Schokolade und erholt sich", sagt er etwa dreieinhalb Stunden nach Beginn des Amoklaufs. "Sie nimmt das Ganze sehr cool."
"Offenes Tor eingeschlagen"
Die Schwester habe berichtet, es habe einen lauten Schlag gegeben, dann sei schon der Feueralarm losgegangen und alle hätten das Gebäude verlassen. Ihr Fazit über den Amokläufer: "Er muss ganz schön dumm sein, denn er hat das offene Schultor mit der Axt eingeschlagen."
Die Schüler des Carolinums werden jetzt psychologisch betreut. Viele Eltern sind vor Ort, Pfarrer und Seelsorger, aber auch ganz gewöhnliche Ansbacher. "In diesem schweren Moment wurde eine große menschliche Wärme sichtbar", sagt der Großvater einer Schülerin. Für Freitag wurde bereits der Unterricht an dem Ansbacher Gymnasium abgesagt.
Die Stadt Ansbach hat mittlerweile ein Seelsorgetelefon unter der Nummer 0981/468777 eingerichtet.
Schule mit humanistischer Tradition
Das Carolinum ist nach eigenen Angaben das zweitälteste Gymnasium Bayerns. Die Schule befindet sich seit dem Jahr 1736 in einem älteren Gebäude mit einem dicken Turm, in dem Bibliotheken und das Lehrerzimmer untergebracht sind. Die Schule wird von etwa 650 Jugendlichen besucht und hat einen sprachlich-humanistischen und einen musischen Zweig.«

In Ansbach kam es am heutigen Morgen zu einem Amoklauf eines 19-Jährigen am Gymnasium Carolinum.
Der Täter stürmte am Morgen um 8:30 Uhr mit Brandsätzen (sogenannten Molotowcocktails), Messern und einer Axt bewaffnet das Gymnasium. Dann wurden in einer achten Klasse zwei Brandsätze gezündet. Dabei wurden zwei Schüler schwer- und acht leichtverletzt. Die Verletzungen kommen nur zum Teil von den Brandsätzen. Ob, und mit welcher Waffe, weitere Verletzungen zugeführt wurden, ist derzeit unklar. Die Verletzten stammen nicht nur aus der erwähnten 8. Klasse.
Der Amokläufer konnte noch vor Ort überwältigt und gegen 08:45 Uhr verhaftet werden. Dabei schoss die Polizei mit einer Maschinenpistole auf den 19-Jährigen und verletzte ihn. Der Festgenommene wurde schwer verletzt in ein Klinikum eingeliefert.
Der Täter ging selbst in die 13. Klasse an dem Gymnasium und hat auch jüngere Geschwister an dem Gymnasium. Das Motiv, weshalb er gerade in die 8. Klasse ging, ist bislang unbekannt. Mitschüler bezeichnen den Täter als Einzelgänger.
Die Schüler und Lehrer der Schule fanden inzwischen in der benachbarten Bundesagentur für Arbeit Unterschlupf. Hier werden sie gemeinsam mit ihren herbeigeeilten Eltern psychologisch betreut.
Das Gymnasium wurde von der Polizei erfolglos nach weiteren Tätern durchsucht. Sie geht von einem Einzeltäter aus.

Los estudiantes universitarios presentaron un petitorio que se centra en la ayuda a los alumnos damnificados por el terremoto. Y pese a que el Gobierno acogió la propuesta, no se habló de plazos para concretarla. De esta manera, el llamado a paro para el próximo miércoles 12 continúa en pie.
El terremoto del pasado 27 de febrero dejó estragos en la mayoría de los ámbitos del país y la educación superior no fue la excepción. Es por eso que a fines de abril la Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile (Confech) se reunió para discutir un petitorio cuyo eje se centraría en medidas que impidan que cualquier joven se quede sin estudiar por culpa de la catástrofe.
Después de más de dos semanas a la espera de una respuesta, finalmente este lunes los dirigentes estudiantiles se reunieron con el ministro de Educación, Joaquín Lavín.
Y pese a las expectativas, el secretario de Estado se confirmó que tenía las propuestas de la Confech en sus manos, sin embargo, no hay nada que mejore las actuales medidas paliativas que se implementaron después del sismo.
A la salida de la reunión, Julio Sarmiento, presidente de la Federación de estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile (Fech), comentó que “definitivamente, si queremos abrir un espacio donde nuestras propuestas están consideradas, más allá de un tema de disposición, sin fechas ni espacios formales, vamos a tener que movilizarnos”.
En relación con la ya anunciada movilización del próximo miércoles 12, Sarmiento indicó que van “a conversar con la intendencia, a tratar de hacer una marcha con carácter pacífico, organizada, por la Alameda. Espero que nos den la posibilidad de hacerlo, que no haya una represión que nos impida ejercer nuestro legítimo derecho y en regiones, seguramente, se va a caracterizar en función de las realidades de las facultades, jornadas de discusión, marchas, concentraciones, cartas a las seremis de Educación y a los gobiernos regionales”.
Dentro de las demandas estudiantiles se incluye la reapertura del Fondo Solidario para no seguir expandiendo el Crédito con Aval del Estado, además de la solicitud de ayudas dignas para los estudiantes damnificados, de congelamiento del pase escolar en el Transantiago y la discusión de forma participativa de la agenda de Educación Superior para los próximos años.
Otro objetivo del petitorio es lograr la convergencia entre las demandas metropolitanas, las de regiones, las universidades privadas y los secundarios, entre ellas, como por ejemplo, el incremento de la beca de treinta mil pesos a 113 mil para costear los gastos básicos de los alumnos damnificados.
En este sentido, Renán Cabezas, presidente de la Federación de estudiantes de la Universidad del Bío Bío, sede Chillán, alertó que hay muchos casos que no están siendo cubiertos por la ayuda actual del Gobierno.
“Esperábamos la respuesta que se dio en esta reunión. Sabíamos que había lentitud y que no íbamos a zanjar nada. Estamos esperando una respuesta formal a nuestro petitorio, pero creemos que como región afectada (UBB, Chillán) que de dos mil estudiantes que postularon a la universidad, solamente se le dé a seiscientos la beca de treinta mil pesos, grafica el malestar de los estudiantes que necesitamos más ayuda del Estado porque, lamentablemente, la meta que tiene propuesta el ministro, de que ningún estudiante deserte, no se va a poder concretar con las acciones de la secretaría de Estado”, sentenció Cabezas.
Este miércoles desde Plaza Italia se espera dar inicio a un movimiento más fuerte que tiene un largo camino de negociación con la cartera. El ministro además se comprometió a nombrar al jefe de división de educación superior antes del 21 de mayo. La convocatoria contará también con la adhesión de estudiantes secundarios.

Los estudiantes universitarios de Chile convocaron a una movilización nacional para exigir que el gobierno ayude a los estudiantes más damnificados por el terremoto del pasado 27 de febrero, según el petitorio de la Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile (CONFECH), tras reunirse con el Ministro de Educación, Joaquín Lavín.
En estas movilizaciones, se exige el retorno de antiguos beneficios fiscales para acceder a la educación superior, mejoras en las entrega de ayuda, aumento en las asignaciones de dinero por estudiante de las regiones del Maule y Bio Bio, entre otras peticiones.
Los estudiantes salieron molestos tras la reunión con el representante gubernamental, ya que expresaron que las ideas, a pesar que iban en el camino correcto, era insuficientes para paliar los problemas que enfrentan las familias afectadas del centro sur de Chile.
Los estudiantes llamaron a los alumnos de diversos planteles educacionales a sumarse a la movilización, para manifestarse contra la velocidad con que está actuando el gobierno para solucionar el problema de la educación en el país. En Santiago, los convocantes esperan realizar una marcha pacífica por la Alameda -que es la principal avenida de la ciudad- para llegar hasta dependencias del Ministerio de Educación con un petitorio.
Las autoridades del ministerio o gobierno no han entregado declaraciones a la prensa acerca del asunto.

La inflación en México cerró 2017 en su mayor nivel en 17 años, impulsada por el incremento en el precio de bienes y servicios como el jitomate, el transporte aéreo, la gasolina de bajo octanaje y el gas doméstico durante el último mes del año, entre otros productos, informó el Inegi.
El Índice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor presentó un crecimiento mensual de 0.59% durante diciembre pasado, con lo que la inflación anual llegó 6.77%, la tasa más alta desde mayo de 2001 cuando reportó una alza anual de 6.95%, y la más alta para un cierre de año desde el 2000 que fue de 8.66%.
Otros bienes y servicios cuyos incrementos en sus precios tuvieron mayor incidencia en la inflación durante el último mes del año pasado, fueron el huevo, con una alza mensual de 5.76%; servicios turísticos en paquete, 7.43%; la calabacita, 26.61%; vivienda propia, 0.18%; restaurantes y similares, 0.59%; y el transporte colectivo, 0.84%.
En este contexto, el índice de precios de la canasta básica, que incluye los bienes y servicios de mayor consumo por parte de las familias de bajos ingresos, tuvo un incremento de 0.66% en el último mes de 2017, obteniendo de este modo una tasa anual de 9.61%, la cifra más alta en 17 años, desde marzo del 2000, cuando se ubicó en 9.74%.
El índice de precios subyacente, que no incluye los bienes y servicios cuyos precios y tarifas son más volátiles, reportó un incremento mensual de 0.42% y una tasa anual de 4.87%; en tanto que el índice de precios no subyacente aumentó 1.09% mensual, alcanzando de este modo una variación anual de 12.62%, la tasa más alta en 18 años, desde septiembre de 1999, cuando registró un nivel de 13.53%.
Al interior del índice subyacente, los precios de las mercancías se elevaron 0.32% y los de los servicios 0.50% mensual.
Dentro del índice de precios no subyacente, el subíndice de los productos agropecuarios registró un alza de 1.81% y el de los energéticos y tarifas autorizadas por el gobierno subió 0.65 por ciento a tasa mensual.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO.
El año pasado cerró con una inflación de 6.77%, la más alta en los últimos 17 años de acuerdo con datos del Inegi.
En el último año del sexenio de Ernesto Zedillo, el indicador llegó a 8.96% y en 2016 cerró con 3.36%, la mitad de la tasa anual registrada en 2017.
Las cifras oficiales señalan que la inflación general del pasado diciembre fue de 0.59% debido al incremento del jitomate, las tarifas aéreas y los servicios turísticos en el marco del asueto navideño.
El índice de precios de la canasta básica tuvo un incremento de 0.66% en el último mes de 2017, para una tasa anual de 9.61%. En el mismo mes de 2016 estas cifras fueron de 0.41 % mensual y de 2.82% anual.
Carlos Capistrán, economista en jefe para México y Canadá de Bank of America Merrill Lynch, advirtió que el resultado del indicador puede generar expectativas de altos precios y presionar negociaciones salariales al alza, lo que generaría más inflación.
Sin embargo, aseguró que el Banco de México aplicó la medicina adecuada al anticiparse con el alza de tasas, por lo que ahora sólo falta esperar la baja de precios.
Inflación, la más alta desde el 2000
La inflación de 2017 se ubicó en 6.77%, la más alta en los últimos 17 años. Indicadores del Inegi mostraron que la inflación general de diciembre resultó en 0.59 por ciento, impactada por el incremento en el precio del jitomate así como en las tarifas aéreas y los servicios turísticos dado el periodo vacacional de Navidad y Año Nuevo.
El Instituto detalló que el índice de precios subyacente reportó un incremento mensual de 0.42% y una tasa anual de 4.87%; en tanto que el índice de precios no subyacente aumentó 1.09% mensual, alcanzando de este modo una variación anual de 12.62 por ciento.
Por su parte, el índice de precios de la canasta básica tuvo un incremento de 0.66% en el último mes de 2017, obteniendo de este modo una tasa anual de 9.61%. En el mismo mes de 2016 las cifras correspondientes fueron de 0.41 % mensual y de 2.82% anual.
Carlos Capistrán, economista en jefe para México y Canadá de Bank of America Merrill Lynch, advirtió que este resultado puede generar expectativas de altos precios y, presionar negociaciones salariales al alza, lo que a la postre generaría más inflación, sin embargo, dijo que lo bueno es que el Banco de México ya está aplicando la medicina adecuada debido a que se anticipó con el alza de tasas y ahora sólo falta esperar la baja de precios. “En un comparativo internacional, México tiene las tasas reales más altas del mundo y esto es la medicina para combatir la inflación, aunque el alto costo del dinero está teniendo un efecto negativo sobre la actividad económica”.
Añadió que el gobierno también está haciendo lo que puede ya que tiene “poquito” espacio fiscal para ayudar a los consumidores con el precio de las gasolinas.
Economistas de Banorte expusieron que el resultado de precios confirma su perspectiva sobre un banco central con sesgo hawkish en sus siguientes comunicaciones sugiriendo otra alza en tasas el 8 de febrero, y dos más durante el primer semestre del año.
Expertos de Invex, por su parte, afirmaron que “la aceleración de la inflación respondió al incremento generalizado en los rubros volátiles de energéticos y agropecuarios, así como el efecto de traspaso de la depreciación del peso sobre los precios subyacentes”.
En el rubro subyacente, los servicios aumentaron 0.50%, debido al incremento en el transporte aéreo y servicios turísticos, mientras que las mercancías reportaron un avance de 0.32 por ciento.
Los precios de gasolinas y gas LP aumentaron en línea con los referenciales internacionales y su liberalización supone un riesgo al alza para inflación de este año”.
Pero aclararon que la disipación de algunas presiones favorecerá su desaceleración. “Esperamos que se ubique en niveles de 5.58% en enero y que se modere lentamente durante el resto del año para que cierre en 4.5 por ciento”.

Aumenta la presión sobre el bolsillo de las clases medias y populares mexicanas. Los precios cerraron 2017 con un aumento del 6,77%, ligeramente más de lo previsto por las principales casas de análisis y muy por encima del rango objetivo del Banco de México —entre el 2% y el 4%—. Es la cifra más alta desde mayo de 2001, hace casi 17 años, y duplica con creces a la registrada un año antes (3,36%). El repunte de la inflación en el tramo final del año recién tiene un primer efecto negativo sobre las familias menos favorecidas, que vieron mermado su poder adquisitivo y afrontan ahora un 2018 complejo para sus finanzas individuales. También para el Gobierno de Enrique Peña Nieto (PRI) y su candidato, José Antonio Meade, que ven como una de las variables económicas con mayor arraigo social se acelera a solo seis meses de las elecciones presidenciales.
La inflación subyacente, una variable que descuenta la evolución de los componentes más volátiles, como la energía o los alimentos, creció un 4,9% en el último año: el grueso del incremento vino dado por el encarecimiento de los energéticos y la comida. En buena medida se arrastran los efectos del gasolinazo, el súbito aumento del precio de los carburantes tras la liberalización del mercado en enero de 2017. Pero no solo: en los últimos meses lo que más ha pesado sobre el alza de precios ha sido la depreciación acumulada del peso mexicano frente al dólar, que ha encarecido las importaciones de bienes básicos. Por grupos de productos, entre diciembre de 2016 y diciembre de 2017 lo que más subió fueron las frutas y las verduras (+18,6%, con la calabacita, la zanahoria y el chayote a la cabeza) y los energéticos (+17,7%, con el gas LP de uso doméstico picando hacia arriba). En el lado contrario, la vivienda fue la partida que menos se encareció en el periodo: solo un 2,7%.
"Los precios en México no están fuera de control; el incremento será transitorio". Corría mayo del año pasado y el entonces gobernador del Banco de México y hoy jefe del Banco Internacional de Pagos (BIS, por sus siglas inglés), Agustín Carstens, consciente de la repercusión mediática y social de la inflación, trataba de calmar los ánimos con un mensaje de tranquilidad teledirigido para que calase en la ciudadanía. No se puede decir que estuviese del todo equivocado: los precios no se han salido de control, menos aún en un país que ha convivido con tasas de inflación de doble y hasta triple dígito hace no tanto tiempo. Pero tampoco se puede decir que haya acertado de pleno. Ni mucho menos: lejos de ser "transitorio", el aumento se prolonga ya demasiado en el tiempo y ha obligado al propio banco central a subir los tipos de interés muy por encima de lo que habría querido, hasta el 7,25%. Mucho tendrían que cambiar las cosas para que no se dé una nueva vuelta de tuerca en la política monetaria en los próximos meses, aunque por una mera cuestión de efecto base (al comparar las cifras con un 2017 marcado por la espiral inflacionista) los precios aflojarán su tendencia al alza en el año recién comenzado.
"Las cifras empeoraron en los últimos meses del año", valora Ernesto Revilla, máximo responsable del Departamento Económico de Citigroup para América Latina y ex jefe de unidad de Planeación Económica de la Secretaría de Hacienda. "No es una buena noticia para el bolsillo de los mexicanos, pero esperamos que la inflación baje rápidamente en 2018". El economista del quinto banco estadounidense por activos espera que el Banco de México siga subiendo el precio del dinero tan pronto como en febrero. Eso se traduciría en una ralentización mayor de la actividad económica, que empieza a verse golpeada por los últimos aumentos de tasas. "En los próximos meses se notará aún más en el consumo y en el PIB", pronostica Revilla.
En los tres primeros meses del año se suelen renegociar la mayoría de sueldos en México. Este año, el proceso será aún más importante, después de que el asalariado medio perdiera el año pasado casi un 2% de poder adquisitivo. La merma fue mucho mayor en el caso de los sueldos más bajos: la canasta básica (compuesta, fundamentalmente, por alimentos, suministros y transporte) duplicase con creces el incremento del índice general de precios. "Las clases más bajas han sufrido la mayor pérdida de poder adquisitivo y eso es grave", opina Jonathan Heath, analista independiente. "Las empresas han tratado de absorber el encarecimiento de sus insumos, pero ha llegado un momento en el que no han podido aguantar más y han tenido que repercutirlo en el precio de venta". En 2018, según sus previsiones, el incremento medio de salarios rondará el 6%. Suponiendo que la inflación cierre el año con un aumento del 4%, eso supondría que los sueldos recuperarían un 2% de poder de compra y se restituiría el terreno perdido en 2017.
Al complicado cierre de 2017 se suma una cuesta de enero más difícil que en años anteriores. En los primeros compases de 2018 se aprecia el encarecimiento de productos básicos de la cesta de consumo mexicana como el tomate o el huevo, según un sondeo de la Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (Profeco). También el gas LP —el que se consume en la mayoría de hogares y en la práctica totalidad de los establecimientos hosteleros—, que ya cuesta casi la cuarta parte más que en la primera semana del año pasado. A estos aumentos, tangibles, se suman las amenazas de los representantes de estaciones de servicio y tortillerías, que anunciaron la semana pasada una subida en el precio de la gasolina y la tortilla de maíz en un país que depende de ambos bienes para su día a día. El Gobierno negó la posibilidad de que se produjese un nuevo gasolinazo —en año electoral parece poco aconsejable para su capital político— y pactó el mantenimiento del precio de las tortillas con la promesa de que luchará para controlar el coste de los insumos.

The captured sailors have been shown on Iranian television
Iranian TV footage
Ali Larijani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, appeared to be referring to the UK's refusal to agree the crew had been in Iranian waters.
Iran's insistence the group was in its waters last Friday saw the UK release GPS evidence to back up its denials.
Tony Blair's official spokesman said the UK was not seeking a confrontation.
Mr Larijani, head of Iran's supreme national security council, said: "It was announced that a woman in the group would be freed, but (this development) was met with an incorrect attitude."
He later added on Iranian state radio the UK had "miscalculated" in its handling of the case.
"They have created a ballyhoo over diplomatic ties and raised the issue with the UN," he said.
"This will not help solve the issue. The British leaders are miscalculating the case."
UN backing sought
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins said Mr Larijani appeared to be responding to the failure to secure an admission from the UK.
Mr Blair's spokesman said footage of Leading Seaman Faye Turney and the others on Iranian TV was wrong in terms of "basic humanity".
It's wrong in terms of the UN conventions which govern this, and it's wrong in terms of basic humanity.
Prime minister's spokesman
Scots marine among captives
The Foreign Office said the UN was preparing to issue a statement calling for the release of the crew.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon held talks with Iran on the detention at a summit in Riyadh.
And the European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said he had spoken briefly to Iran's foreign minister and reiterated the EU's call for an end to the "illegal" detention.
Iran 'isolated'
The prime minister's spokesman said: "What is important is that Iran knows that it is isolated on this issue.
UK VERSION OF EVENTS 1 Crew boards merchant ship 1.7NM inside Iraqi waters
2 HMS Cornwall was south-east of this, and inside Iraqi waters
3 Iran tells UK that merchant ship was at a different point, still within Iraqi waters
4 After UK points this out, Iran provides alternative position, now within Iranian waters
UK version in more detail
"We are not seeking to put Iran in a corner. We are simply saying, 'please release the personnel who should not have been seized in the first place'."
He said a pledge by Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki that British officials in Tehran would be given consular access to the personnel had not taken place.
On Wednesday, Iranian state television broadcast an interview with LS Turney and footage of the 14 servicemen seized with her.
The spokesman said: "Nobody should be put in that position. It's an impossible position. It's wrong in terms of the UN conventions which govern this, and it's wrong in terms of basic humanity."
Neighbours 'shocked'
Iran's foreign minister had previously said LS Turney could be released.
But he said the stand-off would be resolved only if the UK stated that the sailors and marines had been in Iranian waters last Friday, which it denies.
Iranian state-run television reported LS Turney would not be released "for the time being".
She's a nice girl - friendly, happy and chirpy, it's really quite sad this has happened
Nicola Jones
Neighbour of Faye Turney
Neighbours 'shock' at capture
Those who know the sailor have spoken of their shock at the news her release may be delayed.
The Rev Sue Caddy, vicar at Oxon Church, near Shrewsbury, where LS Turney was married in 2002, said the congregation was praying for her.
Nicola Jones, who lives near LS Turney's home in Plymouth, said: "It's really shocking.
"She's a nice girl - friendly, happy and chirpy. It's really quite sad this has happened."
Iran has not disclosed where the service personnel are being held but the BBC has been told they are at a military base in Tehran.
Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff, Vice Admiral Charles Style, has produced data which he said proved the boarding party was 1.7 nautical miles inside Iraqi waters.
The Iranian embassy in London said the Britons had been 0.5 km inside Iranian territorial waters.

Iran's National Security Council has announced that it will "suspend" the releasing of 15 British sailors and marines detained by Iranian forces on March 23.
"We had decided to release the lady in the group, but with the political ballyhoo by London, this decision will be for the time- being suspended," said Secretary .
On Wednesday, Iran had said that at least one soldier, 26 year-old , would "be released very soon."
"British leaders have miscalculated this issue. This case may face a legal path" if we are faced with "fuss, and wrong behavior from Britain," added Larijani.
Britain says that they will not negotiate the release of their soldiers saying that there will be "no bargaining."
"The important thing for us is to get them back safe and sound, but we can't enter into some basis of bargaining. What you have to do when you are engaged with people like the Iranian regime, you have to keep explaining to them, very patiently, what it is necessary to do and at the same time make them fully aware there are further measures that will be taken if they're not prepared to be reasonable. What you can't do is end up negotiating over hostages; end up saying there's some quid pro quo or tit for tat; that's not acceptable," said Tony Blair, the U.K.'s Prime Minister.
Iran also stated on Iranian state-run radio that if the United Kingdom goes to the United Nations Security Council or further freezes relations with the nation, they will further delay the release of the soldiers.
According to the Reuters news agency, the United Kingdom is circulating a 15-page draft statement for approval by the U.N. Security Council "deploring" the continuing detention and endorsing UK's stand that the soldiers "were operating in Iraqi waters as part of the Multinational Force-Iraq under a mandate from the Security Council ....and at the request of the government of Iraq. Members of the Security Council support calls for the immediate release of these MNF personnel."
"We are not seeking to put Iran in a corner. We are simply saying, 'Please release the personnel who should not have been seized in the first place," said a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The sailors and marines from the frigate had been inspecting, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1723, a ship that was believed to be smuggling cars into Iraq, though it was subsequently cleared after inspection when Iranian gunboats surrounded the sailors and arrested them at gunpoint.
Shots have been reported to be fired at the Iranian Consul in , Iraq.
The Iranian Consul said that "British soldiers had surrounded their office in the southern city and fired shots into the air" calling the incident a "provocative act" and that the incident "could worsen the situation of the British sailors."
Britain stated that the incident did take place but it was a "geographical coincidence" and that no shots were fired into the air.
"A vehicle approached the rear of one of our convoys. A number of rounds were fired. The vehicles returned fire. Nobody dismounted and the vehicle disappeared. There is absolutely no linkage with the location other than geographical coincidence. There was no encirclement and no rounds were fired in the air," said Major David Gell, a spokesman for the British forces in Basra.
No injuries or casualties have been reported.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council expressed “grave concern” on Thursday at Iran’s detention of 15 British sailors and Marines and called for their release and an early resolution of the controversy.
In a press statement, negotiated for over four hours and watered down from the original British draft, the council also appealed to Iran to allow consular access to the naval crew.
But Britain failed to win support from Russia, at times backed by South Africa and Indonesia, for a stronger statement that would have deplored Iran’s detention of the crew and called for their immediate release.
Britain says satellite data proved its sailors and Marines were in Iraqi waters when they were seized last Friday. Iran responded by showing video of the capture and charts that it says show the opposite.
Supported by Belgium, France, Italy, Panama, Peru, Slovakia and the United States, Britain sought international backing from the 15-member Security Council before turning to European Union foreign ministers, who meet on Friday in Bremen, Germany.
But Iran immediately responded by saying that Britain’s initiative to involve the Security Council was “not helpful” and said the case should be settled through bilateral channels.
“Since the outbreak of this incident, the two governments have been closely examining and discussing the case in order to settle it in a mutually acceptable manner. Manifestly, the case entails technical, security and legal aspects that require sufficient time to address,” Iran’s U.N. mission said in a statement.
Russia argued that the situation might be made worse through Security Council involvement, despite Britain’s request, diplomats said.
“We will not be able to accept a call for the immediate release of the 15 United Kingdom naval personnel,” Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin was quoted by diplomats as telling the 15 council members in closed consultations.
“The atmosphere was collegial but very tense,” South African Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo told reporters.
However, Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, said the debate should have taken 30 minutes. “From the U.S. perspective this was a simple statement on a terrible situation.”
Churkin insisted on using language from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon after he spoke to Iran’s foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, on the fringes of an Arab summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the first intervention by the world body in the standoff between Britain and Iran.
Ban said he wished for an “early resolution of this problem” but did not call publicly for an immediate release.
However, Britain’s U.N. ambassador, Emyr Jones Parry, told reporters he was grateful for a united council stand.
“We have appealed to the government of Iran to allow consular access and further we have supported the calls by a number of people including the secretary-general of the United Nations for an early resolution of this problem including the release of the 15 U.K. personnel,” Jones Parry said.
Iran, in its statement, said that “a number of U.K. Marines have themselves confirmed that they were in Iran’s territorial waters when they were arrested by the Iranian coast guards.”
In the escalating row, Britain reacted angrily when Tehran distributed a second letter purportedly from the only woman on board, Faye Turney, confessing to the British ship entering Iranian waters.
Calling the move blatant propaganda, the government labelled the letter’s release “outrageous and cruel.”

Iran may delay the release of Faye Turney if Britain takes the issue to the UN Security Council or freezes relations, the country's top negotiator has said.
Speaking on Iranian state radio, Ali Larijani said Leading Seaman Turney may not be released imminently, as had earlier been suggested, and accused the Government of "miscalculating" the issue.
If Britain follows through with its policies on the 15 Devonport-based sailors and marines detained by Iran on Friday, Mr Larijani said "this case may face a legal path" - a reference to the possibility of Iran taking the sailors to court.
The statement has come after Britain asked the UN Security Council to support a call for the immediate release of the detainees, saying in a statement they were operating in Iraqi waters under a mandate from the Security Council and at the request of Iraq.
Meanwhile, Downing Street has strongly condemned the screening on Iranian television of footage of the captured British service personnel.
There was outrage in Whitehall after the Iranians showed footage of Leading Seaman Turney, the only woman in the party, admitting that the Royal Navy boarding party had strayed into Iranian waters.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "Nobody should be put in that position. It is an impossible position to be put in.
"It is wrong. It is wrong in terms of the usual conventions that cover this. It is wrong in terms of basic humanity."
The spokesman said that Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett briefed a meeting of the Cabinet on the Government's efforts to secure the release of the 15 sailors and marines.
The spokesman added: "We are not seeking to put Iran in a corner. We are simply saying, 'Please release the personnel who should not have been seized in the first place."
* The Iranian consul in Basra said that British soldiers had surrounded his office in the southern city and fired shots into the air. Britain denies the allegation.
The Ministry of Defence in London said the shooting was an exchange of gunfire after British troops on a foot patrol near the Iranian consulate was ambushed.
But the Iranian Consul-General Mohammed Ridha Nasir Baghban said British forces had engaged in a "provocative act" that "could worsen the situation of the British sailors."
"British forces should rely on wisdom and not react because of the British forces' detention. This reflects negatively on bilateral relations," Baghban told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Baghban claimed British forces surrounded the consulate about 10am and fired randomly into the air.
In a statement distributed to journalists, British forces in Basra denied any aggressive action against the Iranian consulate, saying that a patrol was ambushed near the consulate and that it was returning fire.

TEHRAN Iran will delay the release of the only woman among 15 British personnel detained last week if Tehran is faced with "fuss and wrong behaviour" from Britain, a senior Iranian official said on Thursday.
"We even said that the grounds were ready for the release of a woman among the British sailors but if we are faced with a fuss and wrong behaviour then this would be suspended and it would not take place," Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said on state television.

Ils ne sont donc plus que vingt-six pays en lice à espérer remporter le Concours Eurovision 2016. Après une première demi-finale le 10 mai et une seconde manche deux jours plus tard, vingt pays ont été qualifiés en plus des six nations sélectionnées d'office (la France, la Suède, l'Italie, l'Espagne, l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni). Voici les dix chansons, par ordre de passage lors de la finale, qui pourraient bien marquer la soirée, avec leur horaire respectif (sauf avance ou retard dûs au direct).
>>> Eurovision 2016 - François Micheletto (The Voice 5) représente Chypre : "Avec Amir, on est amis"
L'Italie (6e position à 21h32) : la jeune Francesca Michielin, populaire pour avoir remporté X-Factor dans son pays propose No Degree of Separation une jolie ballade en grande partie dans sa langue natale. L'Italien séduit très souvent à l'Eurovision.
La Bulgarie (8e position à 21h40) : Poli Genova, qui a déjà participé au concours en 2011, propose une chanson entraînante au refrain immédiatement mémorisable. Son If Love was a Crime mériterait un bon classement.
La Suède (9e position à 21h44) : Sélectionné lors de la finale nationale, le Melodifestivalen, Frans va tenter le doublé pour son pays avec If I were sorry, une mélodie originale aux légers accents reggae.
La France (11e position à 21h51) : Bien que redescendu chez les bookmakers, Amir peut faire sensation ce soir et arracher une place en tête de classement avec J'ai cherché.
L'Australie (13e position à 22h02) : Dami Im est l'une des révélations de ce concours. Avec Sound of Silence, elle peut aussi espérer l'emporter.
La Russie (18e position à 22h22) : C'est LE grand favori de ce soir. Sergey Lazarev l'emportera-t-il grâce à sa prestation énergique et très ciselée sur le titre You're the only one ?
La Lettonie (20e position à 22h32) : Composée par la représentante de la Lettonie en 2015 (qui avait fini en 6e place du classement final), Heartbeat de Justs a tout pour séduire.
L'Ukraine (21e position à 22h36) : Entourée d'une controverse suscitée par 1944 - sa chanson évoque la déportation des Tatares de Crimée par l'Union Soviétique -, Jamala propose une performance puissante. Pas vraiment du goût de la Russie.
L'Autriche (24e position à 22h48) : Personne ne l'attendait en finale avec sa chanson en français. Pourtant, Zoé a largement séduit avec Loin d'Ici. Sa bluette très efficace a une chance de bien finir grâce à son ordre de passage.
>>> Eurovision 2016 : pourquoi Zoë, représentante de l'Autriche, chante-t-elle en français ? Elle nous répond !
Arménie (26e position à 22h56) : Au cœur d'une polémique (elle a brandi un drapeau interdit lors de sa demi-finale), Iveta Mukuchyan fait preuve d'un charisme incroyable sur scène. Sa chanson Lovewave est en passe de s'illustrer.
Et si vous ne savez plus où donner de la tête dans vos pronostics, un fan du concours franco-roumain a créé une application (My Eurovision Scoreboard) qui vous permet d'attribuer vos points et d'y voir plus clair dans votre classement. Pratique !

La Russie portée par Sergey Lazarev , la France avec Amir et la Suède incarnée par Frans font office de favoris pour le concours.
La 61ème édition du concours Eurovision de la chanson aura lieu ce samedi 14 mai à Stockholm. Qui succédera à Mans Zelmerlow, le chanteur suédois qui a remporté l’édition 2015 ? Spotify a fait son choix. À l’instar des résultats attribués lors du concours, la plateforme de streaming musical a donné ses points aux 26 candidats en se basant uniquement sur le nombre d’écoutes enregistrées.
La 61ème édition du concours Eurovision de la chanson aura lieu ce samedi 14 mai à Stockholm. Qui succédera à Mans Zelmerlow, le chanteur suédois qui a remporté l’édition 2015 ? Spotify a fait son choix. À l’instar des résultats attribués lors du concours, la plateforme de streaming musical a donné ses points aux 26 candidats en se basant uniquement sur le nombre d’écoutes enregistrées.
Frans, 17 ans, permettra-t-il à la Suède de réaliser un doublé ? Son titre délicat et sa gueule d’ange pourraient bien l’y aider. Spotify, qui était déjà parvenu à prévoir la victoire de la Suède en 2015, l’annonce déjà comme grand vainqueur de la compétition.
Sergey Lazarev, âgé de 33 ans , a misé sur un titre pop et une scénarisation travaillée au millimètre près. Membre du groupe de pop « Smash !! » à partir de 2001, Sergey Lazarev a décidé de lancer sa carrière solo en 2004. Il a remporté un MTV Russia Music Awards en 2006.

Parmi les autres grands favoris du concours, on retrouve Amir Haddad.
Le candidat français, connu pour avoir été finaliste dans « The Voice : la plus belle voix » aux côtés de Kendji Girac, apparaît régulièrement dans le top 3 des parieurs.

Eux aussi ont la cote !
La représentante de l’Ukraine, Jamala, 32 ans, s’est d’ores et déjà fait remarquer grâce au titre qu’elle interprétera pour défendre les couleurs de son pays.
Dans « 19894 », la chanteuse évoque en effet le massacre de 240.000 Tatares de Crimée par l’URSS de Staline en 1944. Jamala a confié avoir écrit ce titre après l’annexion de la Crimée par la Russie, en 2014. Voilà qui est dit.

La candidate australienne Dami Im est également très appréciée. Celle qui a remporté la finale de « X-Factor Australie » interprétera une ballade intitulée « Sound Of Silence ».
Pour la petite histoire, le pays a été autorisé à participer à l’Eurovision – normalement réservé aux États européens – en raison du succès du show auprès des Australiens.

Cette année, les organisateurs ont un peu changé les règles pour mettre davantage de suspens dans les résultats.
Mans Zelmerlow, vainqueur de l'Eurovision 2015 samedi 23 mai 2015

Chaque année c'est l'événement européen télévisuel. En tout, 25 pays s'affrontent artistiquement pour emporter le Concours Eurovision de la chanson. Cette année, la finale se déroulera le 14 mai prochain, en même temps que celle de The Voice. Un choix cornélien pour les téléspectateurs français qui vont devoir trancher entre deux styles de spectacles bien différents.
L'Eurovision est en effet réputé pour voir passer des personnalités artistiques insolites, voire carrément loufoques. C'est en tout cas toujours une occasion de se divertir devant la télévision et de briller à la machine à café lundi matin. Mais pour briller correctement, encore faut-il avoir tout compris au déroulement du concours, à commencer par le système de votes. Inchangée pendant des années, les organisateurs ont décidé de rompre la tradition et de modifier quelques principes, pour, selon eux, davantage de suspens.
Une nouvelle version des votes
En ce qui concerne les ordres de passage des artistes, ils sont toujours décidés par tirage au sort pour déterminer quelles prestations seront présentées en première ou deuxième partie de soirée. Ce sont ensuite les organisateurs qui décident de l'ordre précis de chaque chanson. Puis, les votes se déroulent en deux parties. D'abord, les jurys professionnels de chaque pays attribuent des points aux candidats qu'ils ont préférés. Comme les années précédentes, ces points vont de 1 à 8, puis 10 et 12.
Ensuite viennent les votes des téléspectateurs - via une application mobile. C'est la grande nouveauté de cette édition. Les téléspectateurs prendront d'abord connaissance des résultats des professionnels, et seulement ensuite ceux du public, contrairement aux précédentes versions pour lesquels tous les votes étaient comptabilisés ensemble. Les résultats seront annoncés du plus petit score au plus grand. Une technique qui permettra certainement de conserver le maximum de téléspectateurs le plus tard possible.

Por qué Porque el hambre en el mundo puede resolverse con el 10% de lo que se gasta en armamento. ¿Podemos imaginar cómo sería si se destinara el 30 o el 50% para mejorar la vida de la gente, en vez de aplicarlo en destrucción?
Porque eliminar las guerras y la violencia representa salir definitivamente de la prehistoria humana y dar un paso de gigante en el camino evolutivo de nuestra especie.
Porque en esta aspiración nos acompaña la fuerza de las voces de cientos de generaciones anteriores, que sufrieron las consecuencias de las guerras, y cuyo eco sigue escuchándose hoy en todos los lugares donde siguen dejando su siniestra estela de muertos, desaparecidos, inválidos, refugiados y desplazados.
Porque un "mundo sin guerras" es una propuesta que abre el futuro y aspira a concretarse en cada rincón del planeta en el que el diálogo vaya sustituyendo a la violencia.
¡Ha llegado el momento de hacer oír la voz de los sin-voz! Millones de seres humanos piden por necesidad que se acaben las guerras y la violencia. Podemos conseguirlo uniendo todas las fuerzas del pacifismo y de la no-violencia activa del mundo. Cuándo
Comenzará en Nueva Zelanda el 2 de octubre de 2009, aniversario del nacimiento de Gandhi y declarado por las Naciones Unidas "Día Internacional de la No-Violencia". Finalizará en la cordillera de Los Andes (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) el 2 de enero de 2010.
Durará 90 días, tres largos meses de viaje. Pasará por todos los climas y estaciones, desde el verano tórrido de zonas tropicales y desiertos hasta el invierno siberiano.
Quién participa
La marcha es una iniciativa de “Mundo sin guerras”, organización internacional - impulsada por el Movimiento Humanista - que trabaja desde hace 15 años en el campo del pacifismo y la no-violencia.
Sin embargo, la marcha Mundial se construirá entre todos. Está abierta a la participación de toda persona, organización, colectivo, grupo, partido político, empresa, etc., que comparta la sensibilidad de este proyecto. Así pues, no se trata de algo cerrado, sino de un recorrido que se irá enriqueciendo gracias a las actividades que se pongan en marcha según las distintas iniciativas.
Por eso invitamos a la participación activa, a que cada cual aporte su creatividad al paso de la MM por cada lugar, en una convergencia de múltiples actividades: encuentros, foros, festivales, conciertos, expresiones culturales, deportivas, artísticas, musicales y educativas. Tiene cabida todo aquello que la imaginación sea capaz de concebir.
Los canales de participación son múltiples, destacando la participación virtual en la MM a través de internet.
Es una marcha de la gente y para la gente, que pretende llegar a la mayoría de la población Mundial. Por esto se convoca a todos los medios de comunicación para que difundan esta vuelta al mundo por la Paz y la No-violencia.
Qué se va a hacer
A su paso por las ciudades se realizarán todo tipo de foros, conferencias y eventos (deportivos, culturales, sociales, etc.), que se irán organizando según surjan iniciativas en cada lugar.
En estos momentos se cuenta ya con cientos de proyectos que diferentes personas y organizaciones han puesto en marcha.
Para qué
Para denunciar la peligrosa situación Mundial que nos está llevando hacia las guerras con armamento nuclear, que supondrían la mayor catástrofe humana de la historia, un callejón sin salida.
Para dar voz a la mayoría de los ciudadanos del mundo que no están a favor de las guerras ni de la carrera de armamento. Todos sufrimos las consecuencias de la manipulación de unos pocos porque no damos una señal unida. Es hora de que cada uno muestre su postura, su rechazo. Une tu señal a la de muchos otros y tu voz tendrá que ser escuchada.
Para lograr: la eliminación de las armas nucleares a nivel mundial; el retiro inmediato de las tropas invasores de los países ocupados; la reducción progresiva y proporcional del armamento convencional; la firma de tratados de no agresión entre países y la renuncia de los gobiernos a utilizar la guerra para resolver conflictos. Para poner en evidencia otras múltiples formas de violencia (económica, racial, sexual, religiosa…) escondidas o disfrazadas por los que las provocan, y para proporcionar a quienes las sufren un cauce para hacerse escuchar.
Para, de la misma manera que ha sucedido con la ecología, crear conciencia global de la necesidad de una verdadera Paz y de rechazo total hacia todo tipo de violencia.

A las nueve de la mañana de hoy partirá del faro de Fisterra la ruta gallego-portuguesa de la Marcha Mundial por la Paz. Se trata de una idea puesta en marcha por el movimiento humanista Mundo sin guerras y sin violencia. Detrás del proyecto se encuentran actualmente unas dos mil organizaciones.
En el faro fisterrano se darán cita al menos unas sesenta personas, llegadas desde Portugal, Vigo y distintos puntos de la provincia coruñesa. Tras ser recibidos por responsables del Concello, entidad que colabora con la causa, la cantautora Rocío Madreselva interpretará una canción por la paz.
Fran Gómez Pallas llevará por toda la ruta la gaita peregrina, realizada especialmente para la Marcha por la Paz. Los participantes se dirigirán a Santiago de Compostela, siguiendo el Camino Xacobeo, previo paso por Negreira. Estarán en distintas ciudades gallegas, con un festival en A Coruña, para entrar luego en territorio portugués.
La preparación fue iniciada ya en 2007 y, el pasado año, comenzaron los trabajos. La iniciativa fue planteada a distintas organizaciones, gobiernos e instituciones.
La marcha pretende denunciar la escalada de violencia que se da en el mundo, en cuanto a armamento nuclear, guerras y relaciones entre los distintos gobiernos. La voz se hará escuchar en numerosos centros de poder.

Le compte rendu de Nicolas Steinbach
Le premier ministre Stephen Harper a procédé vendredi à un remaniement au sein de son Cabinet après la démission, il y a une semaine, du ministre des Affaires autochtones, John Duncan.
C'est désormais Bernard Valcourt, ancien ministre associé à la Défense nationale, qui assumera les fonctions de ministre des Affaires autochtones et du Développement du Nord canadien.
La députée de Colombie-Britannique Kerry-Lynne Findlay assurera désormais les fonctions de M. Valcourt à la Défense nationale.
Gail Shea, ministre du Revenu national, devient quant à elle ministre de l'Agence de promotion économique du Canada atlantique (APECA).
Quant au ministre des Anciens Combattants, Steven Blaney, il s'est vu confier vendredi la responsabilité supplémentaire de la Francophonie.
Bernard Valcourt critiqué dans sa région
Bernard Valcourt, député de Madawaska-Restigouche, est loin de faire l'unanimité dans au Nouveau-Brunswick, alors qu'il a défendu sans relâche la réforme de l'assurance-emploi du gouvernement conservateur malgré des dizaines de manifestations dans la région.
Selon le député néo-démocrate d'Acadie-Bathurst, Yvon Godin, c'est précisément pour sa fidélité que Bernard Valcourt a été nommé ministre des Affaires autochtones. « Ça a été son bras de fer d'être arrogant avec les travailleurs [... et le premier ministre] a récompensé son bon soldat », affirme Yvon Godin.
Du côté de la Première Nation malécite de Madawaska, les commentaires sont partagés. « Bernard, c'est le gars pour la job, il connaît beaucoup de chefs ici, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Tout le monde va être content », estime la chef du conseil de bande, Joanna Bernard.
« Ça peut être bon comme pas bon. Peut-être que M. Harper a un agenda caché concernant les Autochtones un peu comme le chômage, il va peut-être détruire les Premières Nations », réagit de son côté, Jean-Guy Cimon, ancien chef de la Première Nation malécite de Madawaska.
Le nouveau ministre entend rencontrer prochainement les communautés autochtones, qui ont manifesté leur mécontentement envers le gouvernement dans le cadre du mouvement Idle No More.

M. Valcourt remplacera donc John Duncan, qui a remis sa démission la semaine dernière pour avoir écrit une lettre en 2011 à un juge de la Cour canadienne de l'impôt au nom d'un citoyen de sa circonscription.
À titre de ministre des Affaires autochtones, M. Valcourt «poursuivra le travail du gouvernement pour faire avancer le dialogue sur les questions autochtones et il prendra des mesures réalisables pour offrir une meilleure éducation et des opportunités économiques aux peuples autochtones partout au Canada», a indiqué le bureau du premier ministre dans un communiqué de presse.
M. Valcourt était auparavant ministre d'État responsable des achats militaires et ministre responsable de la Francophonie.
Autres nominations
Le dossier de la francophonie a été confié au ministre des Anciens Combattants, Steven Blaney. Selon les conservateurs, M. Blaney se voit ainsi accorder une promotion. «C'est un ministre québécois qui prend du galon», a-t-on fait valoir.
Une nouvelle recrue fait par ailleurs son entrée au cabinet. La députée de la Colombie-Britannique Kerry-Lynne Findlay devient ministre associée de la Défense nationale. Elle prêtera main-forte au ministre Peter MacKay pour «réaliser les engagements que le gouvernement a pris à l'endroit des hommes et des femmes des Forces armées canadiennes et s'assurer que le principe de l'optimisation des ressources demeure au coeur de l'administration de la défense nationale».
«Le gouvernement demeure concentré sur la création d'emplois, la croissance économique et la prospérité à long terme partout au Canada, y compris dans les communautés autochtones, a déclaré le premier ministre. M. Valcourt enrichira son nouveau rôle grâce à l'expérience considérable et très diversifiée qu'il a acquise au Cabinet et je suis sûr que Mme Findlay contribuera au renforcement de nos Forces armées, tout en optimisant l'usage qui sera fait des fonds publics», a affirmé le premier ministre.
Les ministres ont prêté serment ce matin durant une cérémonie privée à Rideau Hall, la résidence officielle du gouverneur général, David Johnston.

osttirol Segelflieger weiterhin verschwunden
Nach wie vor spurlos verschwunden bleibt der seit Freitagmittag vermisste Segelflieger. Die Maschine war am Freitag in Nikolsdorf gestartet und am Abend nicht mehr zurückgekehrt. In Richtung Sterzing gestartet
Auch am Sonntag war der Polizeihubschrauber "Libelle" aus Innsbruck wieder in Osttirol auf Suchflug unterwegs. Am Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf war die nun vermisste deutsche Maschine mit dem 50-jährigen Piloten aus Bayern zu einem Flug in Richtung Sterzing gestartet. Erfahrener Pilot
Helmut Walder, Flugbetriebsleiter am Flugplatz Nikolsdorf sagte am Sonntag gegenüber "ORF Tirol heute", Kollegen hätten gesagt, er habe nicht mit den anderen den Aufwind erreicht und habe versucht, nochmals zum Ausgangsgebiet zurück zu fliegen. Der Pilot sei sehr erfahren gewesen. Fliegerfreunde noch immer vor Ort
Irgendwo in den Lienzer Dolomiten liegt der vermisste Segelflieger, das gilt als sicher. Seit Samstag wird gesucht, auch auf der Kärntner Seite, mit Hubschraubern und mit Bergrettern am Boden.
Seit 15 Jahren war der bayerische Pilot Stammgast in Nikolsdorf, zusammen mit seinen Kollegen war er immer wieder unterwegs und galt als umsichtig. Die Fliegerfreunde des vermissten Piloten sind noch immer in Nikolsdorf, zusammen mit ihnen war er am Freitag gestartet. Schwierige Suche
Ob Segelflugzeug und Pilot gefunden werden, ist schwer zu beantworten. Die Berge sind noch vielfach schneebedeckt und die kleine Maschine ist ebenfalls weiß. Es ist die Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen.
Motorsegler in Osttirol vermisst kaernten.ORF.at
Suche auch in Kärnten
Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf

Am Karfreitag Mittag startete ein deutscher Pilot mit einem Motorsegler vom Osttiroler Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf. Seit dem Nachmittag wurde er mitsamt seiner Maschine vermisst. Gestartet war der Mann mit seiner Maschine in Richtung Sterzing. Mit ihm waren weitere Fliegerfreunde mit ihren Maschinen gestartet. Am Montagmittag wurde das Wrack der Maschine an einem Hang in den Gailtaler Alpen in Kärnten gefunden. Der Pilot hat den Absturz nicht überlebt. Wegen der schlecht zugänglichen Fundstelle gestaltet sich die Bergung des Wracks und der Leiche schwer.
Die Verantwortlichen des Flugplatzes hatten am Freitag um 20:25 Uhr die zuständige Polizeidienststelle alarmiert. Ein Polizeihubschrauber flog noch am Abend einen Rundflug, um die Maschine zu suchen, kehrte jedoch zurück, ohne den Piloten gefunden zu haben.
Bereits am Samstag wurde per Hubschrauber weiter nach dem Deutschen gesucht. Die Bergrettung begab sich am Boden auf Suche nach ihm. Ein weiterer Flug des Polizeihubschraubers am Ostersonntag brachte zunächst ebenfalls keinen Erfolg. Mittlerweile ist bekannt, dass es sich bei dem Piloten um einen 50-jährigen Mann aus Bayern handelt. Er gilt als erfahrener Flieger und startete seit 15 Jahren regelmäßig vom Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf in Richtung Lienzer Dolomiten. Seine Fliegerkollegen berichteten gegenüber den Flughafenbetreibern, sie hätten sehen können, wie der Vermisste während des Fluges Probleme mit dem Aufwind gehabt hätte. Er hätte abgedreht und sei in Richtung Startpunkt umgekehrt, kam dort jedoch nicht an. Die Kollegen des Bayern sind noch immer in Nikolsdorf.

Am Karfreitag Mittag startete ein deutscher Pilot mit einem Motorsegler vom Osttiroler Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf. Seit dem Nachmittag wurde er mitsamt seiner Maschine vermisst. Gestartet war der Mann mit seiner Maschine in Richtung Sterzing. Mit ihm waren weitere Fliegerfreunde mit ihren Maschinen gestartet. Am Montagmittag wurde das Wrack der Maschine an einem Hang in den Gailtaler Alpen in Kärnten gefunden. Der Pilot hat den Absturz nicht überlebt. Wegen der schlecht zugänglichen Fundstelle gestaltet sich die Bergung des Wracks und der Leiche schwer.
Die Verantwortlichen des Flugplatzes hatten am Freitag um 20:25 Uhr die zuständige Polizeidienststelle alarmiert. Ein Polizeihubschrauber flog noch am Abend einen Rundflug, um die Maschine zu suchen, kehrte jedoch zurück, ohne den Piloten gefunden zu haben.
Bereits am Samstag wurde per Hubschrauber weiter nach dem Deutschen gesucht. Die Bergrettung begab sich am Boden auf Suche nach ihm. Ein weiterer Flug des Polizeihubschraubers am Ostersonntag brachte zunächst ebenfalls keinen Erfolg. Mittlerweile ist bekannt, dass es sich bei dem Piloten um einen 50-jährigen Mann aus Bayern handelt. Er gilt als erfahrener Flieger und startete seit 15 Jahren regelmäßig vom Flugplatz Lienz-Nikolsdorf in Richtung Lienzer Dolomiten.

News Record 63K participants in Tsikhanouskaya’s pre-election rally in Minsk
On July 30, another rally in support of presidential candidate Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya took place in the Peoples’ Friendship Park in Minsk. According to human rights centre Viasna, 63,000 persons took part in the event, which has become a new record for the recent ten years.
Notably, on Thursday morning, the authorities warned the four presidential hopefuls of the feasibility of ‘provocations’ during pre-election events after the detention of 33 militants of the Russian PMC Wagner, whose goal, according to the Belarusian side, was ‘destabilising the situation in the run-up to the election’. Due to that, security measures were strengthened at the rally.

Screenwriter Andrey Kureychyk compared the participants with knight Lancelot, a character of the story about the dragon intimidating the people.
“Each of us is Lancelot, each of us is Syarhei Tsikhanouski,” he said, urging Belarusians to become election observers.
There were also elements of a concert at the rally: bands Loudscage, Pylai, B:N:, Litesound, as well as musicians Lera Yaskevich, Maxim Znak, Alyaksandr Kiss and Syarhei Kosmas performed for the audience.
Svyatlana Tsikhanovskaya, together with representatives of the united headquarters Maryia Kalesnikava and Veranika Tsapkala, took the stage two hours after the beginning of the meeting.

“I am running for presidency not for my own sake. I am running for presidency for the sake of my husband. I am running for presidency for the sake of my children and your children. I am running for presidency for the sake of all of you,” Tsikhanouskaya stressed.
The presidential candidate also commented on the new accusations levelled against her husband of the back of the arrest of the Russian militants. She stressed that the militants had been repeatedly spotted in Belarus before, but for some reason, the special services played this card only ahead of the election. She called on the authorities not to lump the election and the militants together.

“What revolution are you constantly talking about? We just want fair elections! What for are you stirring trouble? We are peaceful people and we are in favour of peaceful changes in our country,” she said, addressing the government.
According to the presidential hopeful, if she gained the majority of votes, she would release political and economic prisoners, hold a referendum on the return of the 1994 Constitution that limited the number of presidential terms, and create the conditions for a fair and free presidential election.

Her associate Maryia Kalesnikava, a coordinator at the imprisoned presidential wannabe’s campaign office, called Viktar Babaryka ‘a person who loves Belarus very much’.
“Yesterday they arrested a person who wanted to become President. Today they arrest a person who is set to vouch for him. Tomorrow they might arrest all Belarusians for having their own opinion. Is this normal?” she wondered.

In turn, Veranika Tsapkala, the wife of the runaway might-have been presidential candidate Valery Tsapkala, recalled that her husband and to kids had left Belarus due to the pressure from the authorities. She addressed incumbent president Alyaksandr Lukashenka and said that he had not managed to improve the living standards in the country for his 26-year rule.
“We want change,” she said.
At about 10 pm, the participants began to disperse. No arrests or incidents have been reported.

Supporters of presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya attend her campaign rally in Minsk on July 30, 2020.
Tens of thousands of supporters of President Alexander Lukashenko's top election rival on Thursday rallied in the Belarusian capital Minsk despite an increasing crackdown on the opposition.

The rally came as Belarus authorities accused top members of the opposition of collaborating with Russian fighters to destabilise the ex-Soviet country.
Backers of political novice Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a stay-at-home mother-of-two, packed a Minsk square in what appeared to be the largest opposition protest in the ex-Soviet country in a decade, an AFP journalist said.
A sea of people waved flags and ballons emblazoned with the opposition's campaign symbols -- a victory sign, a clenched fist, and a heart.
"Change!" read one of the placards.
The human rights organisation Vyasna said at least 63,000 people had turned out.
Earlier Thursday, Belarus investigators accused Tikhanovskaya's husband, blogger, Sergei Tikhanovsky, and another prominent critic, Mikola Statkevich, of working together with Russian mercenaries to plot mass unrest ahead of the August 9 election.
Both Tikhanovsky and Statkevich were jailed in the run-up to the polls.
The accusation that they were involved with Russian mercenaries was just the latest twist in an extraordinary election campaign in which the 65-year-old Lukashenko, who has dominated Belarus for nearly three decades, is seeking a sixth term in the face of rising anger over his rule.
Belarusian authorities on Wednesday detained 33 Russian "militants" on a mission to destabilise the ex-Soviet country.
The detentions sparked an apparent crisis in ties with ally Moscow which denied any involvement.
Belarusian authorities say the detained men are members of the Wagner group, a shadowy military contractor reportedly controlled by an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin that promotes Moscow's interests in Syria, Libya and Ukraine.
Addressing her supporters at the rally, Tikhanovskaya, 37, said authorities were "ruining" not only her husband's life but those of all political prisoners.
"The situation involving the fighters is very scary," she said to shouts of "Freedom".
'What revolution?'
She denied that the opposition was collaborating with the Russians to stage an uprising.
"People, what revolution? We want honest elections," said Tikhanovskaya, who has emerged as Lukashenko's top rival after main would-be candidates were jailed.
She questioned the timing of the arrests, saying Russian private contractors might have been transiting through Belarus for a long time.
"I have a question: where was the security service before and why are they raising this issue right before the election?"
Investigators opened a criminal case against "Tikhanovsky, Statkevich and 33 detained Russian citizens."
"They acted together," spokesman Sergei Kabakovich told AFP.
An Investigative Committee also said another criminal probe had been launched against Tikhanovsky for inciting "social hostility" and calling for violence against police.
Tikhanovsky, 41, is a popular blogger, who has nicknamed Lukashenko the "cockroach".
Statkevich, 63, challenged Lukashenko in a 2010 election and was sentenced to six years in prison afterwards.
Lukashenko's top election rival, former banker Viktor Babaryko, has been accused of financial crimes and also jailed.
Moscow denied any involvement.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said claims that "organisations from Russia are sending some people to destabilise the situation in Belarus" were "nothing but insinuations".
The Russian foreign ministry said its nationals were transiting through Belarus because they worked for a Belarus company, adding that they were en route to Istanbul.
Minsk's version of events "does not hold water," the statement said.
"An attempt to make what happened look like foreign interference in the republic's affairs causes bewilderment, to put it mildly," Moscow said.
Russia urged a halt to the fanning of tensions ahead of the election.
'Regime change'
Moscow is Minsk's closest political and economic ally but relations have been strained for years.
Lukashenko has been under increasing pressure to move closer to Russia but the Belarus leader has rejected the idea of outright unification.
Some analysts suggested the arrest of the Russians gave Lukashenko an excuse to crack down harder on the opposition while others said Moscow might indeed be considering some action.
Russian political analyst Tatyana Stanovaya said the Kremlin had not apparently given up on its unification plans.
Stanovaya quipped that the Russian fighters might have arrived in Minsk to "monitor" the election.

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Belarus for a rally by the president's election rival, despite an escalating crackdown on the opposition.
More than 60,000 people demonstrated in the capital, Minsk, according to one human rights group, Viasna.
The rally was organised by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who is standing against the long-term president.
Alexander Lukashenko has faced a wave of protests over his bid for a sixth term.
Lukashenko has exerted authoritarian control over Belarus in a style reminiscent of the Soviet era since he took office in 1994.
Ms Tikhanovskaya, a political novice, decided to stand for election after her husband was barred from running and jailed earlier this year.
Her supporters gathered in a square in Minsk for what the AFP news agency said was the largest opposition protest in the ex-Soviet country in a decade.
They waved flags and balloons printed with opposition slogans.

"People who want a decent life are not criminals," Ms Tikhanovskaya told the crowd. "They are our people, people who want a peaceful change of power."
"Please don't go against your consciences, don't go against your people," she added.
State authorities earlier accused Ms Tikhanovskaya's husband, Syarhey Tsikhanouski, of collaborating with Russian mercenaries to stoke unrest ahead of the election. The popular opposition blogger faces other charges too.
Ms Tikhanovskaya denied the accusations, which came during an intensifying crackdown on opposition activity.
Earlier on Thursday, the authorities arrested 33 suspected mercenaries whom they accused of plotting "terrorism". Russia said it was seeking clarification over the arrests and denied knowledge of the Wagner paramilitary group which Belarus suspects of involvement.
The secretary of the Belarus Security Council, Andrey Rawkow, said investigators suspected as many as 200 Russian mercenaries had entered the country to "destabilise the situation during the election campaign".

Mr Rawkow said 14 of the detained Russians had fought in Ukraine's Donbas conflict, describing their presence in Belarus as a "very unpleasant situation".
Reports by UN investigators, the US military and journalists have documented Wagner group operations in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Sudan and the Central African Republic. The Russian government denies any links to the group.
The Belarus state news agency Belta has named all 33 Russian suspects and given their dates of birth.
Read more about the Wagner group:
The state TV channel Belarus 1 showed the Russians being arrested by the Belarus KGB at a sanatorium. The video report (in Russian) said the group had raised suspicions because of their disciplined, military-style behaviour - for example they avoided alcohol.
Video footage of the group's arrest showed they had Sudanese currency and a Sudanese phone card with them. The Wagner group is known to be active in Sudan, and there is speculation that it was using Belarus as a transit country for African operations.
In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday: "We know 33 Russians were detained yesterday in Belarus. Two hundred are still at large. We do not know of any illegal activity that would be grounds for their detention."
He also said there was "no such concept" as "Wagner PMC" in Russia.

Thousands of people gathered at a rally in the Belarus capital of Minsk on Thursday in support of opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who is challenging authoritarian ruler Alexander Lukashenko in presidential elections next month.
Observers said the rally was the biggest in Belarus' history since independence from the Soviet Union, with estimates the crowd in Minsk's Bangalore Square reached over 25,000.
Tikhanovskaya, 37, is the wife of jailed opposition blogger and presidential hopeful, Sergei Tikhanovsky, who was arrested in May on charges of attacking a police officer, which he rejected as a provocation.
She launched her presidential bid after her husband's arrest and has promised to free political prisoners and stage new elections if she is elected into office.
The message has helped Tikhanovskaya attract large crowds at rallies across the country.
Election officials earlier rejected attempts by two other potential presidential challengers to register for the race.
"They (the authorities) keep talking about some revolution. My God, what revolution? We just want fair elections. What does a revolution have to do with it?" Tikhanovskaya said in a speech during Thursday's rally.
"We are peaceful people, and we want peaceful changes for our country," she added.
Lukashenko is campaigning to remain in office for a sixth term amid an upsurge in opposition protests fueled by public fatigue with his iron-fisted rule and painful economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
The rally on Thursday came after the detention of 33 Russian citizens in Belarus who the authorities accused of plotting terror attacks before the presidential elections scheduled for August 9 – a claim that Russian officials have sharply dismissed.
Many critics, including Tikhanovskaya, dismissed the official claims of a Russian subversion plot as a sham designed to rally support around the sitting president.

Repórter da Agência Brasil
Brasília – Mais de 65% dos inscritos no Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem) estão isentos da taxa de inscrição. De acordo cálculos feitos pela Agência Brasil, com base nos números divulgados pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC), mais de 5,2 milhões de candidatos não terão de pagar a taxa.
A isenção vale para estudantes concluintes do ensino médio em escolas públicas ou que têm renda mensal per capita inferior a um salário mínimo e meio. Das 7,8 milhões de inscrições, 395 mil foram pagas e pouco mais de 2 milhões ainda aguardam pagamento. Os candidatos devem pagar a taxa de R$ 35 até hoje (29) em uma agência do Banco do Brasil. A inscrição só é confirmada após o pagamento.
No ano passado, o exame custou R$ 46 por pessoa. Se todas as 7.834.024 milhões de inscrições forem confirmadas – ou seja, taxas pagas e isenções confirmadas – multiplicadas pelo valor por aluno de 2012, o custo aproximado com o exame será R$ 360,3 milhões.
De acordo com o ministro da Educação, Aloizio Mercadante, o Enem custa três vezes menos do que os vestibulares regulares. Atualmente, 119 instituições públicas de ensino superior aderiram ao Sistema de Seleção Unificada (Sisu), que possibilita o ingresso de estudantes nas universidades com a nota do Enem e permite também economia com os sistemas de seleção.
"É uma economia de recurso que a gente pode investir mais em educação pública. Além disso, o Enem significa principalmente mais oportunidade para o jovem. Ele faz o Enem e com a nota que tem pode escolher qualquer curso no Brasil, são 4 mil cursos".
Mercadante disse que o Enem gera uma economia de cerca de R$ 5 milhões por instituição, o que totaliza R$ 595 milhões poupados - valor que cobriria o gasto aproximado com o exame deste ano.
Mesmo assim, quando anunciou as regras do Enem 2013, Mercadante fez um pedido: "Apelo para aqueles que se inscreverem para que realmente façam o Enem. Os custos levam em conta os inscritos e temos tido uma diferença importante". No ano passado, foram 5,8 milhões de inscritos. Desses, 4,3 milhões fizeram a prova.
O Enem será aplicado nos dias 26 e 27 de outubro em todos os estados e no Distrito Federal. A nota do exame pode ser usada para classificação no Sisu e também para concorrer a vagas em instituições privadas de ensino superior, por meio do Programa Universidade para Todos (ProUni).
Uma boa avaliação no Enem é também requisito para obter bolsa no Programa Ciência sem Fronteiras e para receber o benefício do Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil (Fies). O exame é usado ainda para certificação do ensino médio de estudantes maiores de 18 anos que não têm o documento.

La revista ''Semana'' revela en su más reciente edición una investigación que lleva a cabo la justicia penal militar, por los maltratos y torturas denunciados por 21 soldados que forman parte del Batallón Patriotas de la VI Brigada del Ejército colombiano, ubicado en la ciudad de Honda, Tolima, al occidente de Bogotá.
Según la publicación, los uniformados fueron objeto de maltrato por parte de sus superiores, quienes los amarraron, los golpearon y los quemaron en diferentes partes del cuerpo. En algunos casos, hubo incluso vejámenes sexuales. Los hechos ocurrieron al parecer el pasado 25 de enero.
El cabo primero José Rafael Tarazona Villamizar, quien se burlaba de los soldados, y el cabo tercero Edwin Alberto Ávila Mesa, quien manifestó que hacía ''"lo que a él le enseñaron"'', tienen medida de aseguramiento mientras son investigados por los hechos, al igual que el subteniente Cristian Camilo Barrera y el coronel Rubén Darío Hernández, comandante del batallón, quien además fue suspendido del cargo.
Un parte médico, firmado por Ricardo Romero Lascano, parece confirmar que por lo menos seis de los soldados sufrieron quemaduras en varias partes del cuerpo, mientras que otros tenían señales de golpes y ataduras.
Reinaldo Castellanos, comandante del Ejército, declaró lo siguiente: ''"Es lamentable que esto haya sucedido, nos da vergüenza, pero no permitiremos que este tipo de comportamientos se vuelva a producir. No me cabe en la cabeza que este tipo de comportamiento se dé en el Ejército, en donde exigimos el buen trato como un parámetro general. Es desafortunado, pero es sólo el comportamiento de tres personas. No permitiré que este tipo de comportamiento se vuelva a producir"''.
Por su parte, el Presidente Álvaro Uribe Vélez, quien el fin de semana prefirió guardar silencio sobre el particular, afirmó el lunes: ''"da dolar y deploro que se haya informado tarde un hecho tan lamentable y que los medios de comunicación tuvieran que sacar con ganzúa la información"''.
El lunes (20), la Procuraduría General ordenó la apertura de una investigación disciplinaria por el caso, además de llamar a indagatoria a los involucrados. El Ministerio Público le solicitó al Ejército la remisión de todos los documentos.

Bogotá
Las fuerzas armadas colombianas iniciaron un proceso contra varios militares involucrados en un escándalo de abusos violentos contra reclutas.
El ministerio de Defensa aseguró que investigaría las denuncias.
La publicación denunció el domingo los maltratos a los que fueron sometidos los soldados por fallar en una prueba, algunos de ellos aparentemente fueron humillados, golpeados, quemados con tizones ardientes y hasta sometidos a vejaciones sexuales.
En un comunicado público, el ministerio de Defensa señaló que, "adelantarán las acciones que conduzcan a castigar con el máximo rigor los ultrajes cometidos, los cuales, además de afectar a nuestros soldados, se constituyen en una afrenta contra el pueblo colombiano".
"Vergüenza"
No me cabe en la cabeza que este tipo de comportamiento se dé en el Ejército, en donde exigimos el buen trato como un parámetro general. Es desafortunado, pero es sólo el comportamiento de tres personas. No permitiré que este tipo de comportamiento se vuelva a producir
Reinaldo Castellanos, comandante general del Ejército
"Es lamentable que esto haya sucedido, nos da vergüenza, pero no permitiremos que este tipo de comportamientos se vuelva a producir", dijo el general Castellanos.
"No me cabe en la cabeza que este tipo de comportamiento se dé en el Ejército, en donde exigimos el buen trato como un parámetro general. Es desafortunado, pero es sólo el comportamiento de tres personas. No permitiré que este tipo de comportamiento se vuelva a producir", añadió el militar.
Según fuentes militares, el coronel Rubén Darío Hernández, comandante del batallón, fue suspendido temporalmente del cargo y está bajo investigación.
Lo mismo ocurrió con tres suboficiales, el cabo primero José Rafael Tarazona Villamizar, el cabo tercero Edwin Alberto Ávila Mesa y el subteniente Cristian Camilo Barrera, mientras que otros uniformados involucrados ya rindieron declararon.
"Lo que me enseñaron"
Mi cabo Tarazona me cogió de la nuca y de la pretina del pantalón y entonces me pasaba sobre la candela y yo sentía cómo se me quemaba la cara. Me quemó un brazo con un tizón, luego, cuando vio mi tatuaje en la canilla izquierda, me dijo que me lo iba a borrar
Soldado Jairo Cubillos
"Mi cabo Tarazona me cogió de la nuca y de la pretina del pantalón y entonces me pasaba sobre la candela y yo sentía cómo se me quemaba la cara. Me quemó un brazo con un tizón, luego, cuando vio mi tatuaje en la canilla izquierda, me dijo que me lo iba a borrar", fue el testimonio del soldado Jairo Cubillos publicado por Semana.
"Me colocaba ahí una brasa -prosiguió- como cuando marcan ganado. Yo le gritaba que no me quemara y él se reía".
Las investigaciones continúan y el escándalo también, y aunque la Justicia Penal Militar ya inicio los procesos contra los militares acusados, algunos analistas señalaron que el tema debe pasar a la justicia ordinaria.
Los soldados abusados son de extracción humilde y campesina, y actualmente permanecen en recuperación luego de los hechos ocurridos el pasado mes de enero, pues según los dictámenes médicos, algunos de ellos sufrieron "deformidad física que afecta el cuerpo de carácter permanente".

"No me queme, por favor, se lo suplico, no me queme". El soldado regular Jhon Jairo Cubillos Navarro, del Batallón Patriotas de la VI Brigada, le implora a su superior, el cabo primero José Rafael Tarazona Villamizar. En respuesta, éste lo tira al suelo, le da varias patadas y. como si estuviera marcando ganado, le quema la cara, una, dos y tres veces. Cubillos Navarro llora y trata de huir en un intento fallido, pues sus ojos están vendados y tiene las manos amarradas atrás.El cabo Tarazona ...

Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard.
Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark.
The Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand, John Howard and Helen Clark, have been banned from travelling to Fiji following the discovery of Ms Clark's and Mr Howard's names on an immigration list by Fiji Television.
The Immigration Department list bans people from entering Fiji, and bans some people from leaving Fiji. The list also contains the names of civil and political activists, businessmen, politicians, and trade union officials.
Ms Clark says that self-appointed Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe "Frank" Bainimarama is only digging himself a bigger hole and that it would be unwise to listen to anything that Mr Bainimarama had to say.
Mr Bainimarama said that if he can't visit their countries, then they shouldn't be allowed to visit his country.
Both Australia and New Zealand had already put a ban in place preventing high ranking politicians and officials from entering either country because of their disapproval of the recent Fijian coup which Mr Bainimarama led. The two countries have also imposed other sanctions.

• Have your say
Prime Minister Helen Clark says a ban on allowing her to visit Fiji is not worth commenting on.
Fiji's coup leader and military commander Commodore Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama has banned both Miss Clark and Australian Prime Minister John Howard from visiting.
"I think the Commander is digging himself into an even deeper hole and I really don't intend to dignify the comments by saying anymore about it," Miss Clark said today.
Both Miss Clark and Mr Howard have been strongly critical of Cdre Bainamarama's actions to oust the elected government and take control on December 5 last year and have imposed sanctions.
Fiji TV has reported the prime ministers' names are on an Fiji Immigration Department list of people who are not allowed to enter the country. It also names those who are banned from leaving.
The list included trade union officials, civil rights activists, politicians and businessmen.

The Immigration Department list bans people from entering Fiji, and bans some people from leaving Fiji. The list also contains the names of civil and political activists, businessmen, politicians, and trade union officials.
Ms Clark says that self-appointed Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe "Frank" Bainimarama is only digging himself a bigger hole and that it would be unwise to listen to anything that Mr Bainimarama had to say.
Mr Bainimarama said that if he can't visit their countries, then they shouldn't be allowed to visit his country.
Both Australia and New Zealand had already put a ban in place preventing high ranking politicians and officials from entering either country because of their disapproval of the recent Fijian coup which Mr Bainimarama led. The two countries have also imposed other sanctions.

Prime Minister Helen Clark and her Australian counterpart John Howard have been banned from entering Fiji by the country's military regime on Friday.
The move against the two vocal critics of coup leader Frank Bainimarama, follows decisions in Wellington and Canberra to ban the military leader and his supporters from their countries.
Australia and New Zealand have also imposed sanctions on the military regime after it overthrew the elected government on December 5.
Fiji TV reports Clark and Howard's names appear on a Fiji Immigration Department list that bans some people from entering and others from leaving.
The list includes mostly trade union officials, civil rights activists, politicians and businessmen.
Bainimarama's ban on Clark and Howard has been met with derision.
The self-imposed Fijian leader says if he is not allowed to travel to their countries, they are not allowed to travel to his.
Sevens team welcomed
Despite Clark and Howard's ban, the Fijian team has been welcomed at Wellington's rugby Sevens.
The tournament kicked off at lunchtime on Friday to the delight of fans.
Around 35,000 people will show up at Wellington's stadium for the tournament, half of them will be from out of town, to watch the 16 international teams take part.
The event is worth about $10 million to the city and is not all about the rugby, with everyone seeming to attempt to look as over the top as possible. See related video for more...

Após pressão da imprensa e cientistas, o (IB), divulgou hoje, em coletiva de imprensa transmitida nas redes sociais do Governo de São Paulo, a taxa de eficácia da vacina : a taxa global (geral) é de 50,38%, pouco acima dos 50% exigidos pela OMS.
Na semana passada, Covas havia divulgado uma taxa de 78% a 100% para casos leves, moderados e graves, dizendo ao Fantástico de domingo passado: “eu divulguei as taxas de eficácia clínica, que é o que interessa para esta vacina". (...) "A população não sabe o que é eficácia (...). Ela quer saber qual o efeito que a vacina tem". No programa também, instado a confirmar a taxa de eficácia geral, que cientistas passaram a estimar em cerca de 63%, Covas se negou: "não é o momento de divulgar todos os detalhes do estudo".
No entanto, ontem pela manhã, o Bom dia Brasil reportou que na Indonésia a taxa de eficácia divulgada era de de 65% - o que colocou ainda mais pressão para que o IB publicasse a informação, até então desconhecida.
A OMS estipula que a vacina contra a covid-19 tenha ao menos 50% de eficácia - o que significa dizer que, de 100 pessoas vacinadas, 50 desenvolverão anticorpos e não pegarão a doença.
Apesar de ter atingido pouco acima do número considerado aceitável pela OMS, a CoronaVac, segundo o estudo, se provou 100% eficaz para prevenir infecções graves por e 78% eficaz contra infecções leves, o que segundo Covas, ajuda a controlar as hospitalizações e mortes pela doença.
O termo "Dimas Covas" esteve em segundo lugar na classificação de assuntos mais comentados do Twitter logo após o anúncio, com muitas pessoas criticando o IB por ter tentando omitir a eficácia geral da vacina.
'''O problema'''
Diversas outras vacinas já liberadas para uso emergencial ou em processo de liberação, como as da Pfizer-BioNTech, da Moderna e a de Oxford-AstraZeneca (), que no Brasil será produzida pela , apresentaram taxa de eficácia geral mínima de 90%, o que pode ser, na comparação, um “problema” para a CoronaVac, algo que o Butantan potencialmente tentou evitar.
No Brasil, o Butantan está investindo na construção de uma fábrica para produzir a CoronaVac com insumos vindos da empresa chinesa Sinovac, dona da tecnologia, o que pode se tornar um entrave quando, comparativamente, a Fiocruz passará a produzir a vacina ChAdOx1, que, segundo as empresas produtoras, é 40% mais eficaz (pelo menos no caso de se aplicar meia dose antes e uma dose completa duas semanas depois), embora os dados comprovados ainda não tenham sido divulgados.
Muitos agora se perguntam: a CoronaVac vale mesmo o uso de milhões de reais dos cofres públicos a médio e longo prazo, se este dinheiro poderia ser investido na ChAdOx1, uma vacina que potencialmente tem uma eficácia bem maior?
A resposta: Não é possível produzir doses suficientes de um único imunizante para toda a população, e, embora a CoronaVac tenha eficácia geral de pouco mais de 50%, ela evita casos graves e mortes da doença em 100% dos casos, e, dentre os 50% que pegarão a doença, 78% serão assintomáticos, o restante apresentando apenas casos leves, aliviando o saturado sistema de saúde.

O Instituto Butantan prometeu informar amanhã à Anvisa (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) os dados de eficácia global do imunizante CoronaVac. Esse é um dos entraves para a agência começar a analisar o pedido de uso emergencial da vacina.
Porém, não foi só a vacina produzida em parceria com uma empresa chinesa que enfrentou problemas com esses dados. A outra vacina produzida no Brasil, a de Oxford, igualmente teve divergências nessas informações.
A Anvisa já recebeu o pedido de aprovação emergencial para as duas vacinas. Até o momento, apenas os documentos da Fiocruz/AstraZeneca foram aceitos e estão sendo analisados.
O Instituto Butantan enviou o pedido de uso emergencial no dia 8, mas no dia seguinte a Anvisa exigiu mais documentos. Ontem, o instituto começou a enviar os documentos pendentes. O que não está claro sobre o imunizante é a taxa de eficácia global. Segundo apurou a reportagem do UOL, ela deve ser abaixo de 60%, mas acima dos 50% exigidos pela Anvisa.
No dia 4, o instituto divulgou que o imunizante da Sinovac tem uma taxa de eficácia de 78% para casos leves da doença e 100% para casos graves e moderados. No entanto, essas eficácias tratam de grupos específicos e falta ainda divulgar a conclusão dos estudos de eficácia de todos os voluntários, sem recorte de grupo.
A eficácia geral é calculada a partir da comparação entre o grupo que tomou o imunizante de fato e o grupo que tomou placebo (um composto neutro). Observa-se quantos voluntários de cada grupo desenvolvem a doença, seja de forma leve, moderada ou grave.
Segundo especialistas, mesmo o 78% de eficácia em casos leves considera aqueles pacientes que precisaram de alguma intervenção médica —classificados como nível 3 na escala da OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde). A tendência em casos ainda mais leves, nível 2, é que a taxa de eficácia seja ainda menor —próximo de 60%
Hoje, durante o UOL Entrevista, o diretor do Instituto Butantan, Dimas Covas, discorda de que haja dúvidas a respeito da eficácia. "Se você quer saber o efeito, é este efeito que foi anunciado: 78% para casos leves e 100% para casos graves e moderados. Essa é a eficácia, isso que importa, a eficácia clínica". Segundo ele, só o que é importa é o parecer da Anvisa.
O ex-presidente da Anvisa Gonzalo Vecina Neto criticou a forma como o Butantan apresentou os dados. "Provavelmente vamos chegar a alguma coisa em torno de 63% a 68% de eficácia, o que é absolutamente eficiente. Precisamos ter uma eficácia acima de 50% para atingir a imunidade coletiva. Acima de 50% temos uma boa vacina e que protegerá a população. Por que o Butantan fez isso? Não faço a menor ideia. Tentou mostrar as coisas de uma forma melhor do que são, sem necessidade", disse em entrevista à CNN Brasil.
Hoje, a Indonésia anunciou que os testes da CoronaVac no país indicaram 65% de eficácia. Ou seja, levando em conta um grupo de 100 pessoas que receberam o imunizante, 65 ficaram protegidas contra a doença. A OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde) recomenda uma taxa mínima de 50%.
Mas, além da eficácia global, a Anvisa também pede pelo menos mais cinco informações ao Butantan, entre elas, características demográficas e basais críticas da população do estudo; descrição de desvios de protocolo, entre outros.
A tecnologia da vacina da Sinovac é semelhante à dos imunizantes da gripe: os vírus inativados, ou seja, que foram expostos em laboratório a calor e produtos químicos para não serem capazes de se reproduzir. Eles não são capazes de adoecer o paciente, mas isso é suficiente para gerar uma resposta imune e criar uma memória de como se defender contra uma ameaça.
Problemas com eficácia também para a AstraZeneca/Fiocruz
A AstraZeneca e a Fiocruz enviaram seu pedido à Anvisa também no último dia 8 para uso emergencial de 2 milhões de doses prontas da vacina que serão importadas da Índia. A agência já aceitou a solicitação no dia seguinte, sem a necessidade pedir mais documentações.
A taxa de eficácia da vacina de Oxford é de em média 70%, acima dos 50% exigidos pela Anvisa.
Porém, em novembro, o laboratório admitiu um erro na administração da dosagem, fazendo com que parte dos voluntários recebessem meia dose da vacina, enquanto outros receberam uma inteira.
Devido ao erro, foi possível notar uma diferença de eficácia, sendo de 62% entre o grupo de voluntários que recebeu duas doses completas e de 90% entre aqueles que receberam meia dose seguida de uma dose completa.
Novamente, mais tarde, o laboratório reconheceu que a taxa de 90% não inclui os idosos acima de 55 anos, pois não haviam sido feitos testes suficientes nesse público.
A Anvisa estima responder até a próxima segunda-feira ao laboratório. A partir da aprovação, as doses poderão ser aplicadas cinco dias após chegarem ao Brasil. O Ministério da saúde prevê iniciar a vacinação entre 20 de janeiro e 10 de fevereiro.
A tecnologia do imunizante de Oxford é diferente dos utilizados pelos outros laboratórios. Ele utiliza o Vetor Viral, que modifica em laboratório o adenovírus, causador de resfriados em chipanzés. Esse vírus é ainda mais fácil de o nosso sistema imunológico combater, pois ele não está adaptado ao corpo humano e é facilmente eliminado pelo nosso sistema.
Os cientistas retiram do coronavírus sua proteína Spike (proteína "S" utilizada pelo vírus para entrar na célula humana) e o acopla no adenovírus modificado. Ao identificar a proteína S, nosso sistema imunológico a reconhece como estranha e produz anticorpos.

Kommt aus dem Knast, zumindest für kurze Zeit: Ex-IWF-Chef Dominique Strauss-Kahn© Richard Drew/AFP
Immerhin, für Dominique Strauss-Kahn ist es der erste Erfolg in einer ansonsten ziemlich üblen Woche: Nachdem die Grand Jury zuvor sämtliche Anklagepunkte gegen ihn bestätigte (Strauss-Kahn drohen bis zu 74 Jahre Haft), hat ein New Yorker Gericht der Freilassung des 62-Jährigen Franzosen aus der Untersuchungshaft zugestimmt - allerdings nur gegen äußerst harte Auflagen. Die US-Justiz scheint um jeden Preis einen zweiten "Fall Roman Polanski" vermeiden zu wollen: Der Regisseur war 1977 während eines laufenden Verfahren wegen Vergewaltigung aus den USA erst nach London und dann nach Paris geflohen und entzieht sich bis heute dem Zugriff der US-Behörden.
Auf sein gewohntes Luxusleben mit 3000-Dollar-Suite und First-Class-Flügen wird Strauss-Kahn auch nach seiner Entlassung aus dem berüchtigten Gefängnis Rikers Island verzichten müssen: Nach Angaben seines Anwalts soll er in einer Wohnung in Manhattan unterkommen, die seine Frau, die Fernsehjournalistin Anne Sinclair, bereits für ihn angemietet hat. Strauss-Kahn darf New York nicht verlassen: Dafür soll eine elektronische Fußfessel sorgen, außerdem musste der Franzose beide seine Reisepässe abgeben.
Jeder Schritt wird überwacht
Fest steht: Einsam wird sich Strauss-Kahn in seinem neuen Refugium nicht fühlen. Dafür sorgt ein ganzes Security-Team, das damit beauftragt ist, jeden Schritt Strauss-Kahns zu überwachen. Es ist die ganz kurze Leine für den erfolgsverwöhnten Banker: Die bewaffneten Sicherheitsleute sollen über jeden Besuch und jede Bewegung Protokoll führen - darüber hinaus sollen in der Wohnung Videokameras installiert werden. Richter Michael Obus, der Strauss-Kahns Freilassung zustimmte, machte unmissverständlich deutlich, dass er den französischen Politiker beim geringsten Verstoß wieder ins Gefängnis schicken werde.
Das kleine bisschen Freiheit kommt Strauss-Kahn teuer zu stehen: So legte Obus fest, dass der 62-Jährige für die gesamten Kosten der Sicherheitsvorkehrungen selbst aufkommen muss - nach Schätzungen von Staatsanwalt John McConnell betragen diese mehr als 200.000 Dollar (140.000 Euro) im Monat. Eine Flucht wäre allerdings noch kostspieliger: Neben der Kaution von einer Millionen Dollar (700.000 Euro) in bar muss Strauss-Kahn weitere fünf Millionen Dollar in Form von Bankbürgschaften hinterlegen.
"Gemütliches und komfortables Leben"
Die strengen Sicherheitsauflagen kritisierte Strauss-Kahns Anwalt William Taylor als überflüssig: Sein Mandant sei ein "ehrenhafter Mann" dessen einziges Interesse es sei, seinen Namen reinzuwaschen. Es sei "lächerlich" zu glauben, Strauss-Kahn werde einfach nach Frankreich verschwinden.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft sieht das anders und verwies unter anderem darauf, dass Strauss-Kahn wenige Stunden nach dem mutmaßlichen sexuellen Übergriff an Bord einer Air-France-Maschine festgenommen wurde. Außerdem habe Strauss-Kahn "Status und Mittel", bei einer Flucht aus den USA ein "gemütliches und komfortables Leben" jenseits der Zugriffsmöglichkeiten der US-Behörden zu führen, sagte Staatsanwalt McConnell.

Strauss-Kahn bei einer Parteiversammlung der französischen Sozialisten
Der zurzeit prominenteste Häftling der Welt, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, soll vorerst wieder auf freien Fuß kommen. Ein New Yorker Gericht stimmte einem Antrag der Verteidigung des ehemaligen IWF-Präsidenten zu, und akzeptierte eine Kaution von einer Million US-Dollar. Das Gericht verlangte außerdem eine Bürgschaft über rund sechs Millionen US-Dollar. Der französische Politiker soll in einer Wohnung im New Yorker Stadtteil Manhattan wohnen, die seine Frau für ihn angemietet hat und wo er unter Hausarrest steht. Für die Wohnung als auch für die Kosten seiner Bewachung dort muss Strauss-Kahn selbst aufkommen. Außerdem muss der 62-jährige eine elektronische Fußfessel tragen und darf New York nicht verlassen. Seine Reisepässe wurden eingezogen.
Die letzten Tage hatte der wegen Vergewaltigung und sexueller Nötigung verhaftete Strauss-Kahn auf der New Yorker Gefängnisinsel Rikers Island verbracht. Ein erster Antrag auf Freilassung gegen Kaution war von einem New Yorker Gericht wegen Fluchtgefahr abgelehnt worden.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat inzwischen Anklage gegen Strauss-Kahn erhoben. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, am vergangenen Samstag versucht zu haben, eine Hotelangestellte eines New Yorker Hotels zu vergewaltigen. Das 32-jährige Zimmermädchen hat ausgesagt, Strauß-Kahn habe sie zum Oralsex zwingen wollen und sie gewaltsam festgehalten bis es ihr gelungen war, sich zu befreien. Die Geschworenen der Grand Jury hielten die Aussage der Hotelangestellten für glaubhaft. Strauß-Kahn bestreitet die gegen ihn erhobenen Vorwürfe. Im Falle einer Verurteilung muss der Finanzpolitiker mit einer langjährigen Gefängnisstrafe rechnen.
Die nächste gerichtliche Anhörung soll am 6. Juni stattfinden.

Die letzten Tage waren für den ehemaligen IWF-Chef Dominique Strauss-Kahn keine besonders rosige Zeit. Nicht nur, dass er sich wegen des Vorwurfs der versuchten Vergewaltigung vor Gericht verantworten musste und von seinem Amt zurücktrat – diverse Ortswechsel standen für ihn außerdem als Begleiterscheinung auf dem Programm. Von seinem luxuriösen 90 Quadratmeter Appartement mit wunderbarem Blick auf New York ging es für ihn auf die Gefängnisinsel Rikers Island mit gerade mal 14 Quadratmetern und strengen Regeln. Jeden Abend wurde um 23 Uhr das Licht ausgeschaltet. Strauss-Kahn durfte pro Tag eine Zeitung lesen und Fernsehen gab es nur im Gemeinschaftsraum. Dort hat er nun allerdings vorerst seine letzt Nacht verbracht. Er zieht erneut um.
Satellitenaufnahme von Rikers Island
Denn knapp eine Woche nach seiner Festnahme steht Strauss-Kahn kurz vor seiner Entlassung aus der Untersuchungshaft. Ein New Yorker Richter entschied am Donnerstag, den 62-Jährigen gegen Zahlung einer Kaution und unter strengen Auflagen auf freien Fuß zu lassen. Richter Michael Obus verhängte eine Kaution in Höhe von einer Million Dollar (rund 700.000 Euro). Weitere fünf Millionen Dollar muss der Ex-IWF-Chef in Form von Bürgschaften hinterlegen. Nach seiner Freilassung muss sich Strauss-Kahn die ganze Zeit über in einer Wohnung in Manhattan aufhalten, wo er rund um die Uhr von bewaffneten Sicherheitsleuten überwacht wird. Auch Überwachungskameras sollen dort installiert werden.
Rund 140.000 Euro für ein Leben unter Hausarrest
Strauss-Kahn muss dann zudem eine elektronische Fessel tragen und seinen Reisepass abgeben. Besuche sind streng limitiert, etwa für religiöse Angelegenheiten. Richter Obus legte fest, dass Strauss-Kahn für die gesamten Kosten der Sicherheitsvorkehrungen selbst aufkommen muss – nach Schätzungen von Staatsanwalt John McConnell betragen diese mehr als 200.000 Dollar (140.000 Euro) im Monat.
Strauss-Kahns Anwalt William Taylor sagte, die Frau des zurückgetretenen IWF-Chefs, die Fernsehjournalistin Anne Sinclair, habe bereits eine Wohnung in New York gemietet. Die strengen Sicherheitsauflagen kritisierte er als überflüssig: Strauss-Kahn sei ein „ehrenhafter Mann“ dessen einziges Interesse es sei, seinen Namen reinzuwaschen. Es sei „lächerlich“ zu glauben, Strauss-Kahn werde einfach nach Frankreich verschwinden.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft betonte dagegen, es bestehe eine hohe Fluchtgefahr. Sie verwies unter anderem darauf, dass Strauss-Kahn wenige Stunden nach dem mutmaßlichen sexuellen Übergriff gegen eine Hotelangestellte am New Yorker Flughafen JFK an Bord einer Air-France-Maschine festgenommen wurde. Außerdem habe Strauss-Kahn „Status und Mittel“, bei einer Flucht aus den USA ein „gemütliches und komfortables Leben“ jenseits der Zugriffsmöglichkeiten der US-Behörden zu führen, sagte Staatsanwalt McConnell. Richter Obus drohte Strauss-Kahn mit Konsequenzen beim „kleinsten Problem“ bei der Einhaltung der Vorgaben.
Vor dem Beschluss zur Freilassung Strauss-Kahns aus der U-Haft hatten ihn die Geschworenen der Grand Jury formell angeklagt. Strauss-Kahn soll am Samstag ein Zimmermädchen in einem New Yorker Luxushotel sexuell angegriffen und zum Oralsex gezwungen haben. Die Ermittler werfen ihm unter anderem versuchte Vergewaltigung, Freiheitsberaubung sowie einen „kriminellen sexuellen Akt“ vor, worunter im US-Strafrecht erzwungener Oral- oder Analverkehr fällt. Bei einer Verurteilung drohen ihm bis zu 74 Jahre Haft. Strauss-Kahn weist die Vorwürfe gegen ihn zurück.
Der nächste Anhörungstermin vor Gericht wurde auf den 6. Juni festgesetzt. Dort könnte Strauss-Kahn auf nicht schuldig plädieren, was einen Prozess zur Folge hätte. Bekennt er sich schuldig, könnte er mit der US-Justiz eine Übereinkunft treffen und so einen Prozess vermeiden. Vielleicht darf er ja dann wieder umziehen.

Trotz der Einwände der Staatsanwaltschaft hat ein Gericht in New York den früheren IWF-Chef Dominique Strauss-Kahn gegen Kaution von einer Million Dollar aus der Untersuchungshaft entlassen . Zwar gab es eine Reihe strenger Auflagen, doch war dem 62-Jährigen, der unter dem Verdacht der versuchten Vergewaltigung steht, die Erleichterung deutlich anzusehen. Er warf seiner Frau, der Journalisten Anne Sinclair, eine Kusshand zu.
Während der Anhörung äußerte sich Strauss-Kahn nicht. Sein Anwalt sagte aber, sein Gemütszustand sei jetzt schon sehr viel besser als zu Beginn. "Wir gehen davon aus, dass er morgen freigelassen wird“, erklärte William Taylor.
Das Gericht ordnete ein umfassendes Paket an Auflagen an. Strauss-Kahn wird unter Hausarrest in einer Wohnung in Manhattan stehen. Nach Angaben seiner Anwälte handelt es sich um ein von Sinclair angemietetes Appartement in Manhattan.

Seine Anwälte hatten außerdem erklärt, der ehemalige IWF-Chef solle eine elektronische Fußfessel tragen. Laut Gerichtsunterlagen händigte er bereits seinen Pass aus. Der Richter bestand zusätzlich zur Kaution noch darauf, dass Strauss-Kahn eine Bürgschaft in Höhe von fünf Millionen Dollar hinterlegt.
Ein erster Antrag auf Haftentlassung war am Montag von einer Richterin wegen Fluchtgefahr abgelehnt worden.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft erklärte, die Beweise gegen ihn seien erheblich. Mit jedem Tag der Ermittlungen kämen neue hinzu. Man habe es mit einem Mann zu tun, der gemessen an seinem Betragen in diesem Fall, zu kriminellen Impulsivhandlungen neige. Mittlerweile wurde offiziell Anklage gegen Strauss-Kahn erhoben , aber noch kein Prozesstermin festgelegt.
Anzeige
Strauss-Kahn erschien zum Gerichtstermin in einem grauen Anzug und einem offenen, blauen Hemd. Als er den Gerichtssaal betrat, drehte er sich kurz um, um seiner Frau und Tochter zuzulächeln, die auf der Empore Platz genommen hatten. Vor dem Gerichtssaal drängten sich die Reporter.
Einem Gerichtssprecher zufolge war es der größte Medienauflauf in einem Gericht seit 1980, als Mark David Chapman nach der Ermordung von John Lennon festgenommen worden war.
Strauss-Kahn wurde am Samstag festgenommen und sitzt seit Montag wegen des Vorwurfs eines sexuellen Angriffs auf ein Zimmermädchen auf der Gefängnisinsel Rikers Island ein. Die 32-Jährige hat ihn beschuldigt, sie zum Oralsex gezwungen zu haben. Strauss-Kahn hat die Vorwürfe zurückgewiesen. Er trat am Mittwoch als Chef des Internationalen Währungsfonds zurück.
Anzeige
Wer den freigewordenen Posten besetzen soll, darüber streiten sich die Länder nun . Europa beharrt auf einem europäischen Kandidaten, wie es traditionell der Fall ist. China und Brasilien wollen einen Kandidaten aus den Schwellenländern. Die USA haben einen „offenen Prozess“ gefordert, aber noch keinen Kandidaten benannt.

Der französische Politiker soll in einer Wohnung im New Yorker Stadtteil Manhattan wohnen, die seine Frau für ihn angemietet hat und wo er unter Hausarrest steht. Für die Wohnung als auch für die Kosten seiner Bewachung dort muss Strauss-Kahn selbst aufkommen. Außerdem muss der 62-jährige eine elektronische Fußfessel tragen und darf New York nicht verlassen. Seine Reisepässe wurden eingezogen.
Die letzten Tage hatte der wegen Vergewaltigung und sexueller Nötigung verhaftete Strauss-Kahn auf der New Yorker Gefängnisinsel Rikers Island verbracht. Ein erster Antrag auf Freilassung gegen Kaution war von einem New Yorker Gericht wegen Fluchtgefahr abgelehnt worden.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat inzwischen Anklage gegen Strauss-Kahn erhoben. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, am vergangenen Samstag versucht zu haben, eine Hotelangestellte eines New Yorker Hotels zu vergewaltigen. Das 32-jährige Zimmermädchen hat ausgesagt, Strauß-Kahn habe sie zum Oralsex zwingen wollen und sie gewaltsam festgehalten bis es ihr gelungen war, sich zu befreien. Die Geschworenen der Grand Jury hielten die Aussage der Hotelangestellten für glaubhaft. Strauß-Kahn bestreitet die gegen ihn erhobenen Vorwürfe. Im Falle einer Verurteilung muss der Finanzpolitiker mit einer langjährigen Gefängnisstrafe rechnen.
Die nächste gerichtliche Anhörung soll am 6. Juni stattfinden.

Mit allen Mitteln will Israel den Raketenbeschuss der radikal-islamischen Hamas stoppen und rüstet sich für einen Kampf über Wochen. Die Bodentruppen sind zum Einmarsch in den Gazastreifen bereit.
Eine Waffenruhe mit der Hamas lehnt Israel ab, solange die Gefahr von Raketenangriffen aus dem Gazastreifen nicht gebannt ist. „Es gibt keinen Raum für eine Waffenruhe“, sagte Innenminister Meir Schitrit am vierten Tag der israelischen Luftangriffe im Hörfunk. Die Regierung sei entschlossen, den Raketenbeschuss im Süden des Landes zu stoppen. Daher dürfe die Armee ihren Einsatz nicht beenden, bevor der Wille der radikal-islamischen Hamas zur Fortsetzung der Raketenangriffe gebrochen sei. „Dies ist das Ziel und es muss erreicht werden“, sagte Schitrit. Vizeverteidigungsminister Matan Vilnai sagte, die Armee sei darauf vorbereitet, notfalls mehrere Wochen zu kämpfen.
Konflikte zwischen den arabischen Staaten
Die massiven israelischen Angriffe im Gazastreifen verstärken auch die schwelenden Konflikte zwischen den arabischen Staaten. Die syrische Führung forderte Ägypten zum Abbruch seiner diplomatischen Beziehungen zu Israel auf. Die regierungstreue syrische Tageszeitung „Tishreen“ schrieb, Ägypten solle „zurückkehren zu seiner eigentlichen Rolle als arabisches Land, das sich in der Palästinenserfrage dem politischen Kampf gegen Israel stellt“. Die Solidarität des ägyptischen Volkes mit den Palästinensern sei offensichtlich größer als die der politischen Führung in Kairo. "Die Bodentruppen sind bereit“, sagte eine Armeesprecherin am Dienstag. Die Soldaten hätten ihre Stellungen bezogen. Die Möglichkeit einer Bodenoffensive bestehe. „Im Moment jedoch greifen wir ausschließlich aus der Luft oder vom Meer aus an“, sagte die Sprecherin. Israel hatte seine Luftangriffe auf Ziele im Gazastreifen am Samstag begonnen und reagierte damit auf den Raketenbeschuss durch die Hamas. Bisher starben bei der Militäroffensive mehr als 350 Menschen. Der UN zufolge waren mindestens 62 der Toten Zivilisten. Durch die palästinensischen Raketenangriffe starben in dieser Zeit vier Israelis. Bei der Bombardierung von Ministerien , Ausbildungslagern der Hamas und anderen Zielen wurden nach palästinensischen Angaben mindestens zehn Menschen getötet.Eine Waffenruhe mit der Hamas lehnt Israel ab, solange die Gefahr von Raketenangriffen aus dem Gazastreifen nicht gebannt ist. „Es gibt keinen Raum für eine Waffenruhe“, sagte Innenminister Meir Schitrit am vierten Tag der israelischen Luftangriffe im Hörfunk.

Die Parlamente des Iraks und der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate (VAE) hatten am Montagabend die israelischen Attacken in dem von der radikal-islamischen Hamas kontrollierten Gazastreifen verurteilt. In einer Erklärung des Parlamentes in Abu Dhabi war von „barbarischen Operationen Israels gegen die Palästinenser die Rede“.

Gazastreifen
Nach den Worten einer Armeesprecherin hält sich die israelische Armee die Möglichkeit einer Bodenoffensive in den Gazastreifen als Option weiterhin offen. Zurzeit würden jedoch Angriffe auf Ziele im Gazastreifen nur aus der Luft und von See vorgetragen. Am Montag war ein mehrere Kilometer breiter Streifen an der Grenze zu Gaza zum militärischen Sperrgebiet erklärt worden; tausende Reservisten waren von der israelischen Armee einberufen worden.
Die Angriffe auf den Gazastreifen begannen am Samstag und wurden auch heute fortgesetzt. Dabei kamen bisher insgesamt mehr als 350 Menschen ums Leben. Bei den jüngsten Angriffen am Dienstag kamen nach Angaben von Angehörigen des medizinischen Personals auf palästinensischer Seite zehn Palästinenser ums Leben. Ziele der heutigen Luftangriffe waren Gebäude, die der Hamas zugeordnet werden, darunter Ministerien und erneut die Islamische Universität in Gaza-Stadt. Die Angriffe seien dabei auch auf die Tötung bestimmter Hamas-Aktivisten gerichtet gewesen, wie Haaretz berichtet. Dabei sei ein Kommandeur des Islamischen Dschihad getötet worden, wie die Hamas bestätigte.
Die israelische Außenministerin Tzipi Livni:
Inzwischen stoßen die palästinensischen Hospitäler an ihre Grenzen. Sie können kaum noch neue Verwundete aufnehmen. Nach Angaben des arabischen Nachrichtenportals Al-Dschasira sind seit Samstag 1.600 Palästinenser verwundet worden.
Für einen Waffenstillstand sieht die israelische Armeeführung zurzeit keinen Spielraum. Das Ziel sei es, den Willen der Hamas zur Fortsetzung ihrer Raketenangriffe auf Israel zu brechen. Die Armee sei auf eine Fortsetzung des Kampfes für mehrere Wochen eingestellt, sagte der israelische Innenminister Meir Schitrit.
Die Gaza-Krise führt mittlerweile zu wachsenden Spannungen auch innerhalb und zwischen den benachbarten arabischen Staaten. So warf die syrische Tageszeitung „Tishreen“ der ägyptischen Führung indirekt Verrat an der palästinensischen Sache vor. Die Solidarität des ägyptischen Volkes mit den Palästinensern sei offensichtlich größer als die der politischen Führung in Kairo.
UN-Generalsekretär Ban Ki-moon forderte erneut ein Ende der Gewalt im Nahen Osten. Ein Waffenstillstand sei unbedingt notwendig, und beide Seiten sollten auf ihre aggressive Rhetorik verzichten. Die benachbarten Staaten in der Region forderte Ban dazu auf, auf die beiden Seiten Einfluss zu nehmen, um ein Ende der Kämpfe zu erreichen.
Ein Sprecher des Weißen Hauses in Washington forderte die Hamas auf, den Beschuss israelischen Territoriums mit Raketen zu beenden und einem Waffenstillstand zuzustimmen.
Die israelische Außenministerin Tzipi Livni erklärte, die israelische Offensive sei nicht gegen die Zivilbevölkerung im Gazastreifen gerichtet, sondern nur gegen die Hamas: „Wir wollten das vermeiden. Wie Sie wissen, hatte Israel den Waffenstillstand akzeptiert, den die Ägypter initiert hatten um Frieden und Ruhe herzustellen. Wir nahmen den Waffenstillstand an. Was bekamen wir dafür? Wir bekamen tägliche Angriffe, wir bekamen Waffenschmuggel in den Gazastreifen und Raketen mit weitreichenden Kapazitäten.“

The army said that the IAF struck 30 additional targets over the course of Tuesday, including seven Grad and five Qassam rocket launchers, rocket launching cells, rocket launching sites, weapons manufacturing facilities, Hamas outposts and armed terror operatives.The IAF kept up a relentless string of attacks on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday, smashing a government complex, security installations and the home of a top militant commander.According to a Military Intelligence assessment, the air offensive has destroyed a third of the Hamas rocket arsenal, Channel 10 television reported.Meanwhile, thousands of Israel Defense Forces ground troops, backed by tanks and artillery, massed along the Gaza border and waited for a signal to attack.More than 380 Palestinians have been killed since the air force began its operation on Saturday, most of them members of Hamas security forces but at least 64 of them civilians, according to UN figures.Tuesday's death toll included two sisters, aged 4 and 11, who perished in an airstrike on a rocket squad in northern Gaza on Tuesday.Palestinian witnesses said that Israeli missiles flattened five ministerial buildings and a structure belonging to the Islamic University in Gaza City.One Israeli attack targeted a house in the Jabaliya refugee camp, killing seven people, but the Hamas activist was not there, Hamas security and relatives said. Another hit the Jabaliya home of Abdel-Karim Jaber, a Hamas political figure who is a senior administrator at Gaza's Islamic University.He was not at home and it wasn't immediately clear if anyone was hurt in the strike.In another air assault, an Islamic Jihad commander was killed as he was walking near his house, said Abu Hamza, a spokesman for Islamic Jihad's military wing.Israel's airstrikes on more than 325 sites since midday Saturday reduced dozens of buildings to rubble, overwhelmed hospitals with wounded and filled Gaza's deserted streets with smoke and fire. The IDF said Israeli naval vessels had also bombarded targets from the sea.On Monday, aircraft pulverized a house next to the home of Hamas Premier Ismail Haniyeh, a security compound and a five-story building at a university closely linked to the Islamic group - all symbols of Hamas strength in the coastal territory it has ruled since June 2007.An Egyptian medical official says 11 Palestinians have been ferried from the border with Gaza to a hospital in the capital Cairo because they are in critical condition.Ahmed Abdel-Nabi, deputy manager of the Nasser Institute hospital, saidTuesday that most will require surgery.Since Israel attacked the Gaza strip with air strikes, killing over 300 people and injuring hundreds more in response to Hamas rocket fire, Egypt has accepted 36 injured Palestinians.Palestinian health officials said Monday there were at least 150 serious cases in the overburdened Palestinian hospitals.Most of those accepted are being treated in the 250-bed El-Arish hospital near the Gaza border which lacks sophisticated medical equipment.

News Middle East Israel vows to continue war on Gaza Hospitals have been struggling to cope with the hundreds of people wounded in Gaza [Gallo/Getty] Israel has warned that the onslaught in the Gaza Strip could last for "weeks" as the fourth consecutive day of aerial attacks targeted several Hamas government buildings.
Around 350 people have been killed, many of them civilians, and local hospitals have warned they are unable to cope with any more casualties. Palestinian medical workers said at least 10 people had died in the latest raids on Tuesday, with security guards and civilians among those killed.
But Israel said there would be no let up until the threat of Palestinian rockets attacks from the Gaza Strip had been removed. "There is no room for a ceasefire," Meir Sheetrit, Israel's interior minister, said.
"The government is determined to remove the threat of [rocket] fire on the south.
"Therefore the Israeli army must not stop the operation before breaking the will of Palestinians, of Hamas, to continue to fire at Israel."
Four Israeli citizens have been killed by missiles fired from Palestinian positions since the offensive began on Saturday.
Military preparations
The Israeli army has been massing infantry and armoured forces along the border amid increasing fears that a ground invasion is planned.

On Monday, areas of the border were declared "closed military zones" and thousands of reservists have been called up by the Israeli military.
"The ground forces are ready," Avital Leibovitz, an Israeli military spokeswoman, said on Tuesday.
"The option exists. It is possible that we will apply it but for the moment we are only hitting from the air and the sea."
Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Gaza Strip, said that the confirmation that naval vessels were now launching attacks was a further widening of the offensive.
"We undertsand they are targeting buildings and various other targets throughout Gaza," he said.
Mohyeldin said that a ground offensive would worsen the humanitarian situation for Gazans.
"A ground offensive will mean urban warfare, close proximity fighting from street-to-street ... Gaza is so densely-populated that ultimately in that kind of operation the civilian population will find themselves caught in the middle," he said.
More than 1,600 Palestinians have already been wounded in the assault and hospital are running out medicines and other products needed to treat them.

A ceasefire must be declared immediately. They must also curb their inflammatory rhetoric." Speaking to Al Jazeera, Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister, said the Israeli offensive was aimed at Hamas and not the Palestinian people, urging civilians to leave for safer places away from places close to Hamas infrastructure. "We tried to avoid this. You know that Israel accepted the truce that was initiated by the Egyptians in order to create peace and quiet. We adopted the truce. What we got in return? We got in return daily attacks, we got in return smuggling of weapons to Gaza Strip with long-range [capabilities]," she said. Support for Israel came from the US, with the White House saying Hamas must halt cross-border rocket fire.

Cuba's Angel Valodia Matos, left, kicks match referee Sweden's Chakir Chelbat in the face during a bronze medal match against Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov in the men's taekwondo +80 kilogram class at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Saturday, Aug. 23, 2008. Matos attacked the official, throwing punches and kicks, after being declared the loser in his bronze medal match. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)
Cuban taekwondo athlete banned after kicking ref
BEIJING (AP) — A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.
Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions during the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) match.
Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.
Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out.
"He was too strict," Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos. Afterward, he charged the match was fixed, accusing the Kazakhs of offering him money.
"This is a strong violation of the spirit of taekwondo and the Olympic Games. The sanctions are the following and are effective immediately: Lifetime ban of the coach and athlete in all championships sanctioned by the (World Taekwondo Federation) and at the same time, all records of this athlete at the Beijing Games will immediately be erased," said the announcer, reading a WTF release.
In his first match, Matos defeated Italy's Leonardo Basile, then beat China's Liu Xiaobo 2-1 in the quarterfinals. But he lost to South Korean Cha Dong-min in the semis to land in the bronze-medal match.
"To me it was obvious he was unable to continue," Chilmanov said. "His toe on his left foot was broken."
Matos won the gold medal in this division at the 2000 Sydney Games, dedicating the victory to his mother, who died on the day of the opening ceremony. At the 2004 Athens Games, he finished 11th.
Matos' tantrum followed a day of confusion on the mats.
Earlier Saturday, China's double gold medalist Chen Zhong crashed out in the quarterfinals after initially being declared the winner.
The day was rife with upsets.
Working her way through the easier of the two pools, Norway's relatively unheralded Nina Solheim won her first two bouts with a comfortable point margin and defeated 2005 world champion Natalia Falavigna of Brazil in the semis to meet world champion Maria del Rosario Espinoza of Mexico for the over 67-kg (147.4 pounds) title.
Espinoza won the final handily, going ahead in the first round and never falling behind. The final score was 4-1.
She had her hands full getting through the quarters 4-2 against Sweden's Karolina Kedzierska, who launched several high kicks that did not connect. Espinoza then took on Britain's Sarah Stevenson, the 2006 European champion, in the semis. Espinoza dominated the match, earning her final berth with a 4-1 win.
Espinoza was to fight Chen in the semis, but the judges overturned an earlier ruling and made Stevenson the winner of the quarterfinal bout in which Chen scored in the closing seconds of the second round and then Stevenson tagged her with a head kick — worth two points — in the third.
The judges ruled Stevenson's kick wasn't solid enough for points, and Chen was declared the winner 1-0. After Britain protested, and the result was changed to put Stevenson in the semifinal.
The decision brought loud jeers from the crowd. China did not appeal.
It was the first time a match result has been overturned since taekwondo became an official Olympic sport in 1990.
"I obviously had scored. I don't know if they weren't watching or what," Stevenson said. "That's one of the things I hate about this sport."
Stevenson won bronze, along with Brazil's Falavigna.
Cha made it four-for-four gold medals for South Korea. In taekwondo, countries are allowed to enter only four athletes.
Cha fell behind when Alexandros Nikolaidis of Greece nailed him with a head kick 15 seconds into the bout. But he came back with a body kick and a head shot of his own to take back the lead, adding another point to go 4-3 going into the third round.
Nikolaidis evened it out at 4-4 with a body kick, but Cha scored with just 18 seconds left to claim the gold in the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) division.
Daba Modibo Keita of Mali, the 2007 world champion, was defeated in overtime in the quarterfinals by Nigeria's Chika Yagazie Chukwumerije. The Nigerian then went up against Athens silver medalist Nikolaidis.
Nikolaidis scored with a head kick in the third round, then again in the final second to advance to the final.
The bronzes went to Chilmanov, who beat Matos, and Chukwumerije.

La Organización Internacional del Trabajo ( OIT ) llamó a los países miembros en América Latina y el Caribe a garantizar la cobertura de la protección social de los menores y sus familias, pues esta representa el principal sustento en las estrategias para prevenir en trabajo infantil , destacó su directora regional, Elizabeth Tinoco.En el marco de la conmemoración este 12 de junio del Día Internacional contra el Trabajo Infantil estimó que “es necesario abordar las causas fundamentales del trabajo infantil y para eso la protección social es clave pues apunta directamente a reducir la vulnerabilidad de las familias”.Datos extraídos del Programa de la OIT para la Erradicación del Trabajo Infantil (IPEC) señalan que el 27.9 por ciento de la población en América Latina y el Caribe es menor de 14 años de edad y más de 12 millones de menores realizan labores productivas, lo que significó una reducción frente a los 14 millones reportados en 2008.No obstante, precisó la directora regional, en paralelo se registró un aumento en la intervención de menores de edad en trabajos considerados peligrosos.En seis años esta cifra pasó de 9 a 9.6 millones de niños, lo que significa que “la gran mayoría de los niños que trabajan en la región realizan trabajos peligrosos”, expresó el organismo en un comunicado, la OIT.Entre los programas de protección social que destacó la funcionaria están los de empleo que beneficien a los adultos con acceso a trabajo decente; seguridad social en salud; prestaciones de maternidad; protección para las personas que tienen un empleo para reducir la vulnerabilidad de las familias; protección por desempleo.“Al conmemorar este Día Mundial debemos tener muy presente el reto de aumentar este gasto en protección social, que es uno de los pilares de cualquier estrategia exitosa contra el trabajo infantil”, advirtió.

De acuerdo al Instituto Nacional de Geografía y Estadística mexicano, tres millones catorce mil ochocientos niños y niñas de entre 5 a 17 trabajan en alguna labor económica, a pesar de que el esta prohibido en este país. De esta cifra 67% son niños y 33% niñas, y del total 47% no recibe remuneración por su labor mientras que 25% recibe un salario mínimo, 24% de uno a tres salarios mínimos, y 2% mas de tres salarios mínimos. Muchas de las actividades se dan en lugares inhabitables y peligrosos como minas, basureros, cantinas, obras de construcción o centros nocturnos, estando estos niños en riesgo de esclavitud, trabajo forzoso, trafico de drogas, y prostitución.
La Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos de México pidió a los gobiernos, empresarios y a la sociedad civil a que se sensibilice frente a este problema y amplie la protección social y la educación de la niñez a fin de evitar el trabajo infantil.

Trabajan en México 3 millones de niños: Inegi
MEXICALI, Baja California(PH) Con el propósito de dar a conocer el alcance del problema y promover iniciativas para resolverlo, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) declaró el 12 de junio como Día Internacional contra el Trabajo Infantil desde el 2002
De acuerdo a estadísticas de Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Inegi), en el 2011, en México más de tres millones de niños, niñas y adolescentes realizaban alguna actividad laboral, en el mundo, la cifra se extiende a los 168 millones de niños.
El 39.1% del total de niños, niñas y adolescentes que trabajan no asiste a la escuela, el 44.1% no percibe ingreso por el trabajo realizado y el 4.4% reportó haber sufrido un accidente o lesión en su trabajo.
A nivel internacional se estima que más de la mitad de estos niños están expuestos a trabajos en ambientes peligrosos, esclavitud y otras formas de trabajo forzoso, o a actividades ilícitas como tráfico de drogas, prostitución o conflictos armados.
Sin casos: STPS
En siete meses de esta administración no se ha localizado ningún caso de Trabajo Infantil en Baja California, aseguró Juanita Pérez Floriano, titular de la Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social Estatal (STPS).
Comentó que de acuerdo a cifras del subsecretario de inclusión laboral en el 2013 se consideraba que 63 mil niños, niñas y adolescentes trabajaban en el Estado.
“No me atrevería a afirmar que no hay trabajo infantil en Baja California, pero hasta el momento no hemos identificado casos en los que menores estén trabajando en la irregularidad”, dijo.
Aunque esta cifra corresponde al 5% de la población económicamente activa, señaló que hasta el momento no se ha encontrado ningún caso.
Es difícil tener una cifra exacta de la magnitud del problema, pues en muchos casos esta es una población migrante, o algunos trabajan por su formación, junto con sus familias y que es parte de un aprendizaje positivo, dijo.
Las inspecciones estatales se han realizado mayormente en el área de San Quintín, por ser la zona con mayor cantidad de denuncias, expresó, aunque doce campos han resultado sancionados ninguno ha sido por esta causa.
Agregó que estas inspecciones se han realizado únicamente a campos establecidos, por lo que cree que la cifra se concentra en lugares de trabajo no regularizados, aislados, o no registrados.
Hasta el momento se han realizado 54 inspecciones en el valle de San Quintín y 14 inspecciones en el Valle de Mexicali, comentó, pero estas se limitan a campos regulares.
Recientemente se les autorizó brigadas extraordinarias, pues se dieron cuenta que el problema se centra en los campos irregulares, pero es un proyecto que apenas va iniciando.
Mencionó que tampoco en áreas urbanas o establecimientos comerciales o industriales se han localizado menores de edad trabajando.
“Es difícil, sobre todo porque con la nueva reforma laboral a partir de los quince años la STPS otorga los permisos para que los menores puedan trabajar”, dijo.
Se está trabajando en un convenio con la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública y con DIF estatal y la PGJE, por lo que invitó a llamar al 066 o al 089, de manera anónima ante el conocimiento de un caso de trabajo infantil.

Tres millones de niños en minas, basureros o centros nocturnos en México
06/06/2014
Según el informe de la Cámara de Diputados, que ha realizado un análisis sobre el trabajo infantil en México, pese a que las condiciones de trabajo no son óptimas para los menores, no se establecen penas y multas claras contra quienes los emplean y explotan. Asimismo, la firma de tratados y convenios contra el trabajo infantil por parte de México es infructuosa y queda en "letra muerta".
Los estados donde más niños de entre 5 y 17 años que trabajan son el Estado de México, Chiapas, Jalisco, Puebla, Guerrero, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Veracruz y el Distrito Federal.
De los más de tres millones de menores que realizan algún tipo de trabajo en México y en condiciones inadecuadas, 1,2 millones, es decir, el 39 porciento, no van a la escuela.
El informe titulado "Trabajo Infantil en México. Análisis Conceptual, Marco Jurídico, Antecedentes Internacionales, Derecho Comparado y Opiniones Especializadas", contiene datos del Módulo de Trabajo Infantil INEGI-Secretaría del Trabajo 2011.
De acuerdo con dicha información, del total de niños que trabajan, el 5,5 por ciento lo hace en un lugar inadecuado, el 28 por ciento bajo distintos riesgos, el 28 por ciento trabaja durante más de 15 horas y el 31,5 por ciento durante periodos mayores a 35 horas semanales.
Efectos en los niños
Según el informe, el trabajo infantil en condiciones anómalas, genera secuelas e impactos a medio y largo plazo, como daño físico y psicológico, por tratarse de una actividad no natural para un niño.
El organismo ha recordado que en marzo pasado, los diputados federales aprobaron aumentar la edad legal para el trabajo infantil, de 14 a 15 años, pero, ha subrayado, hace falta que los gobiernos apliquen la norma.
En este sentido, ha recordado que el país ha firmado una serie de instrumentos internacionales a favor de los derechos de los niños, incluyendo el de no obligarlos a trabajar. Pero, dado que no se aplica la ley "se puede deducir que esto es letra muerta si no se establecen penas y multas como ya sucede en el Distrito Federal, donde ya ha sido creado un tipo penal para quien ponga a trabajar a un niño, situación que no sucede en ningún estado del país".

Summary: A computer program that pretends to be a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy passed a Turing test at the Royal Society in London yesterday on the 60th anniversary of Turing's death.
A computer program that pretends to be a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy called Eugene Goostman passed a Turing test at the Royal Society in London yesterday (Saturday 6 June) by convincing 33 percent of the judges that it was human during a five-minute typed conversation. The test was suggested by computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950, and the competition was held on the 60th anniversary of his death.
The judges included Robert Llewellyn, who played the android Kryten in Red Dwarf, and Lord Sharkey, who led the campaign for Turing's posthumous pardon last year. Llewellyn tweeted: "Turing test was amazing. Did 10 sessions of 5 minutes, 2 screens, 1 human 1 machine. I guessed correctly 4 times. Clever little robot fellow/" There were five AI programs, so presumably Goostman fooled him. [Update: Llewellyn has written about his experience in Turing test: this little Eugene Goostman was much brighter than I imagined at the Guardian.]
Eugene Goostman's success was not a surprise. In 2012, the same chatbot fooled 29 percent of the 25 human judges when winning a Turing test competition held at Bletchley Park, the World War II codebreaking centre, in Milton Keynes on June 23 — which would have been Turing's 100th birthday. Goostman was also a runner-up in the Loebner Prize tests in 2001, 2005, and 2008.
Kevin Warwick, a visiting professor at the University of Reading, which organised both tests, said it was the first time a chatbot had passed an open-ended test, rather than one where topics or questions were set in advance.

Some of Eugene Goostman's success is down to the choice of a 13-year-old boy from Odessa, who can't be expected to know everything and might be forgiven for minor grammatical or linguistic errors. Vladimir Veselov, one of the program's developers, said: "We spent a lot of time developing a character with a believable personality."
The fictional Eugene has a father who is a gynaecologist, and has a pet guinea pig. He says: "My mom's always shouting that 'this dirty pig is a PIG anyway, in spite it is 'guinea' — and wants me to give it as a gift to anyone of my friends for their birthday." You can ask him yourself at the Princeton AI (artificial intelligence) website, where Eugene chats online. ("No, I don't go to princeton, unfortunately! Maybe, let's talk about something else?")
The three Russian developers — Veselov, Eugene Demchenko and Sergey Ulasen — met up in Saint Petersburg, though Veselov now lives and works in the US. In a presentation at the Chatbots 3.0 conference in Philadelphia in 2010, Veselov said the chatbot was his hobby, and that one of the most important parts of the program was a "typo corrector". Like humans and Google Search, Goostman tries to make sense of spelling mistakes and mistypings that generally cause computers far more problems than humans.
Chatbots could be used to provide robot assistances to website visitors, or built into robots that provide human companionship, and so on. The underlying technologies could also be used to improve the automatic parsing of documents, and similar tasks.
Kevin Warwick said in a statement from the organisers: "Of course the Test has implications for society today. Having a computer that can trick a human into thinking that someone, or even something, is a person we trust is a wake-up call to cybercrime. The Turing Test is a vital tool for combatting that threat. It is important to understand more fully how online, real-time communication of this type can influence an individual human in such a way that they are fooled into believing something is true... when in fact it is not."
Of course, bots are really not hard to spot, if you're trying. But they don't have to pretend to be human in order to be useful.

Po raz pierwszy w historii program komputerowy przeszedł pomyślnie test Turinga. Dokonał tego chatbot (program komputerowy wspomagający obsługę czata) nazwany '''Eugene Goostman'''. Test Turinga przeprowadzony w sobotę 7 czerwca 2014 w siedzibie Royal Society (najstarszego towarzystwa naukowego na świecie) w Londynie skutecznie przeszedł chatbot, który wcielił się w rolę 13-latka z Ukrainy mieszkającego w Odessie i na tyle wiarygodnie rozmawiał z ludźmi, iż sędziowie oceniający uznali, iż rozmawiają z człowiekiem, a nie z programem komputerowym. Program przekonał sędziów że jest ukraińskim chłopcem, który m.in. posiada świnkę morską, lubi hamburgery i cukierki, a jego ojciec jest ginekologiem.
Test zorganizowali naukowcy z University of Reading w 60-lecie samobójczej śmierci Alana Turinga, który w 1950 roku zaproponował test w ramach badań nad stworzeniem sztucznej inteligencji i odpowiedzi na pytania w stylu czy „Czy maszyny mogą myśleć?”. Test wygląda następująco: sędzia – człowiek – prowadzi rozmowę w języku naturalnym z pozostałymi stronami. Jeśli sędzia nie jest w stanie wiarygodnie określić, czy któraś ze stron jest maszyną czy człowiekiem, wtedy mówi się, że maszyna przeszła test. Co ciekawe, Turing wyraził wtedy przypuszczenie, że około roku 2000 maszyny będą w stanie oszukać 30% ludzi w trakcie 5-minutowego testu.
Autorzy bota (Rosjanin Vladimir Veselov mieszkający w Nowym Jorku oraz Eugene Demchenko i Siergiej Ulasen mieszkający w Petersburgu) sprytnie użyli sztuczki, jakoby sędziowie rozmawiali z 13-latkiem. Program komputerowy oszukał ludzkich sędziów - przekonał ich w rozmowie, że jest młodym człowiekiem. Botowi udało się przekonać 33% rozmówców, że mają do czynienia z człowiekiem, a nie maszyną i zaliczył test Turinga (organizatorzy z Royal Society określili próg zdawalności zgodnie ze sformułowaniem go przez Turinga).
Ostatnim wydarzeniem z dziedziny sztucznej inteligencji, które odbiło się równie głośnym echem w mediach, było pokonanie człowieka w grze w szachy przez komputer Deep Blue w 1996 roku. Naukowcy nie są jednak zgodni co do rzeczywistego znaczenia osiągnięcia autorów Eugene'a Goostmana - Joshua Tenenbaum, profesor kognitywistyki na MIT i ekspert w dziedzinie sztucznej inteligencji, stwierdził, że "nie ma nic, czym można się ekscytować w tym przypadku", ponieważ nie jest jasno określone, czy do zdania testu wymagane jest coś więcej niż wyprodukowanie dobrego chatbota oraz podparcie się odrobiną szczęścia i sprzyjających okoliczności. Sam test był wielokrotnie krytykowany, między innymi za to, że miałby oceniać jedynie, czy maszyna potrafi symulować ludzkie zachowanie, co jest odległe od wykazywania jakiejś formy inteligencji.

A ''super computer'' has duped humans into thinking it is a 13-year-old boy to become the first machine to pass the ''iconic'' Turing Test, experts have said.
Five machines were tested at the Royal Society in central London to see if they could fool people into thinking they were humans during text-based conversations.
The test was devised in 1950 by computer science pioneer and Second World War codebreaker Alan Turing, who said that if a machine was indistinguishable from a human, then it was ''thinking''.
No computer had ever previously passed the Turing Test, which requires 30 per cent of human interrogators to be duped during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations, organisers from the University of Reading said.
But ''Eugene Goostman'', a computer programme developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 per cent of the judges that it was human, the university said.
Professor Kevin Warwick, from the University of Reading, said: ''In the field of artificial intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing Test.
''It is fitting that such an important landmark has been reached at the Royal Society in London, the home of British science and the scene of many great advances in human understanding over the centuries. This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting.''
The successful machine was created by Russian-born Vladimir Veselov, who lives in the United States, and Ukrainian Eugene Demchenko who lives in Russia.
Mr Veselov said: ''It's a remarkable achievement for us and we hope it boosts interest in artificial intelligence and chatbots.''
Prof Warwick said there had been previous claims that the test was passed in similar competitions around the world.
''A true Turing Test does not set the questions or topics prior to the conversations,'' he said.
''We are therefore proud to declare that Alan Turing's test was passed for the first time.''
Prof Warwick said having a computer with such artificial intelligence had ''implications for society'' and would serve as a ''wake-up call to cybercrime''.
The event on Saturday was poignant as it took place on the 60th anniversary of the death of Dr Turing, who laid the foundations of modern computing.
During the Second World War, his critical work at Britain's code-breaking centre at Bletchley Park helped shorten the conflict and save many thousands of lives.
Instead of being hailed a hero, Dr Turing was persecuted for his homosexuality. After his conviction in 1952 for gross indecency with a 19-year-old Manchester man, he was chemically castrated.
Two years later, he died from cyanide poisoning in an apparent suicide, though there have been suggestions that his death was an accident.
Last December, after a long campaign, Dr Turing was given a posthumous Royal Pardon.

Sam test był wielokrotnie krytykowany, między innymi za to, że miałby oceniać jedynie, czy maszyna potrafi symulować ludzkie zachowanie, co jest odległe od wykazywania jakiejś formy inteligencji.

Berlusconi, right, praised the step in reducing the emission of greehouse gases by 2050 [EPA]
Heads of state and government from 16 countries have for the first time endorsed the scientific view that a rise in average temperatures of more than 2C will have catastrophic consequences for the planet.
However, the agreed measures have already been damned as insufficient by the United Nations and environmental groups.
The leaders of the world's most polluting nations have vowed to step up their battle against climate change as they concluded their second day of G8 talks in Italy.
The consensus was reached on Thursday by Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the US, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Indonesia and South Korea in a meeting held on the sidelines of a Group of Eight summit in the city of L'Aquila.
These countries together account for three-quarters of world emissions.
Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister, said there was a "common will" to see that this would be prevented through a "significant reduction" in the emission of greenhouse gases by 2050.
UN disappointment
The deal, however, was described by Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, as "not sufficient".
Ban said in a statement that the deal should be backed by medium-term measures to prevent the catastrophic impact of climate change.
"The commitments expressed today at the G8 and Major Economies Forum (MEF) leaders' meeting, while welcome, are not sufficient," Ban said in a statement.
"The countries represented at L'Aquila are responsible for more than 80 per cent of global emissions, and that is why they bear special responsibility for finding a solution to the political impasse," he said.
"If they fail to act this year, they will have squandered a unique historical opportunity that may not come again."
Scientists have repeatedly warned that if the world's average temperature rises by more than 2C when compared to their pre-industrial levels, it will cause catastrophic changes to global weather patterns, triggering widespread storms, flooding, droughts and famines.
Doha round
The world's most powerful trading nations also called on Thursday for an immediate restart of the stalled Doha round of World Trade Organisation talks with a view to reaching a deal in 2010.
"We are setting a deadline of 2010 for concluding the Doha round [on world trade]," Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, said on the sidelines of the G8 meeting extended to the world's biggest emerging nations.
Brown praised the US and India over the agreement to put aside the differences which sank a deal last year.
"For us to get this agreement ... is a reflection of the policy that the US administration is taking and the willingness of countries like India to come to an agreement," he said.
The Group of Five includes India, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa and China [AFP]
At the summit of G8 leaders with the Group of Five (G5) major rising economies and Egypt, leaders announced that trade ministers would meet before a G20 summit in Pittsburgh, US, in September to re-start negotiations.
The Doha talks, which are meant to stimulate development by liberalising trading rules, started in 2001 but reached a deadlock in July 2008 when the US and India failed to agree over "special safeguard mechanisms" limiting agricultural trade.
"Almost everything had been agreed [last year] but we couldn't get agreement on the special safeguards mechanism," Brown said.
A statement approved by the leaders of the "G8+5+1" group in L'Aquila called for an "an ambitious and balanced conclusion for the Doha Development Round in 2010."
The only leader not present at the summit was Hu Jintao, the Chinese president. He had been set to attend, but flew home to confront ethnic riots in Xinjiang.
Pledges
The leaders are now believed to have committed $15bn over three years to support agricultural investment in poorer countries and reduce food insecurity.
According to the United Nations, the number of malnourished people now exceeds one billion.
In a draft statement the G8 summit kept its commitment to ensuring adequate emergency food assistance, but its focus on agricultural investments reflected a new emphasis on longer-term strategies to fight hunger.
The leaders said their approach would target increased agriculture productivity, stimulus to harvest interventions, emphasis on private sector growth, women and smallholders, preservation of natural resources, job expansion, training and increased trade flows.
The $15bn over three years announced compares with $13.4bn which the G8 says it has disbursed between January 2008 and July 2009 for global food security.

The leaders of the Group of Eight (G8) countries are meeting in L'Aquila, Italy, from July 8 to July 11. On Wednesday, the group announced that it had agreed to a cut in carbon emissions.
Portrait of the leaders
The G8 agreed to a target to cut emissions by 80% by 2050, though interim targets were not defined.
"I believe we've made some important strides forward as we move towards Copenhagen," said United States President Barack Obama. "I don't think I have to emphasise that climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. The science is clear and conclusive and the impacts can no longer be ignored."
Obama was referring to the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009, scheduled for December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"I hope tomorrow when we meet other countries we'll follow that through and this is a very significant development, the first time it's ever been done," United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
"The commitments expressed today at the G8 and Major Economies Forum (MEF) leaders' meeting, while welcome, are not sufficient,"Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said.
"For us the 80 percent figure is unacceptable and likely unattainable," said Arkady Dvorkovich, the top economic aide to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "We won't sacrifice economic growth for the sake of emission reduction."

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Developed and developing nations have agreed that global temperatures should not rise more than 2C above 1900 levels, a G8 summit declaration says. That is the level above which, the UN says, the Earth's climate system would become dangerously unstable. US President Barack Obama said the countries had made important strides in dealing with climate change. But the G8 failed to persuade developing countries to accept targets of cutting emissions by 50% by 2050. On Wednesday, the G8 agreed its own members would work towards 80% cuts by the same date. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the G8 had not done enough and should also set 2020 targets. He said that while the G8's Wednesday agreement was welcome, its leaders also needed to establish a strong and ambitious mid-term target for emissions cuts. See how global temperatures have risen The second day of the summit, in the Italian city of L'Aquila, opened its discussions to take in the so-called G5 nations - Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa.

In a joint statement, President Obama and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the detention of British embassy staff by the Iranian authorities was unacceptable Significant step The latest declaration was issued by the Major Economies Forum, of 16 developed and developing nations - the G8, G5, Australia, South Korea and Indonesia - plus the European Union. The group accounts for about 80% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. "We recognise the scientific view that the increase in global average temperature above pre-industrial levels ought not to exceed 2C," it said. It added that the economies would work towards a global goal for substantially reducing emissions by 2050 between now and December, when the UN holds talks in Copenhagen on a successor to the Kyoto treaty. President Obama, who chaired the meeting, said the countries had had a candid and open discussion about the growing threat of climate change and what must be done both individually and collectively to address it. "I believe we've made some important strides forward as we move towards Copenhagen," he said. "I don't think I have to emphasise that climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. The science is clear and conclusive and the impacts can no longer be ignored." Early agreement 'unlikely' RK Pachauri, who chairs the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, praised the declaration's mention of the 2C limit but said more details were needed. "It certainly doesn't give you a roadmap on how you should get there but at least they've defined the destination," he told the BBC World Service Newshour programme.

Deal highlights divisions At a glance: summit agenda Mr Berlusconi's G8 Party Climate change around the world Climate targets: Global pledges Full text: Climate declaration Mr Obama added that the United States, as a major polluter, had not met its responsibilities in the past, but those days were over. But his scientific adviser, John Holdren, told the BBC it was unlikely that the US could come to any early agreement on tough reductions in emissions by 2020 proposed by the EU. "If we had not wasted the last eight years, we could probably achieve that target," he said. "But we did waste the last eight years and in consequence, it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to officially embrace a target that is not realistically within reach." BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin says the declaration is a significant step, with all big countries rich and poor agreeing there is a scientific limit on the amount we should warm the climate. But there is still a huge way to go, he says, as developing nations like India will not sign up to any 2050 targets unless rich nations show more determination and offer more cash. The G8 summit began in L'Aquila on Wednesday, with the first day largely taken up with discussion of the fragile state of the global economy. The leaders also issued a statement reaffirming that they were "deeply concerned" by Iran's nuclear programme and condemning North Korea's recent nuclear test and missile launches. African leaders will join the summit on Friday to push for a new initiative to fund farming in the developing world and tackle global hunger.

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement Leaders of the G8 leading industrial countries have agreed to try to limit global warming to just 2C (3.6F) above pre-industrial levels by 2050. The summit, in the Italian city of L'Aquila, also set tough new targets for carbon emissions considered necessary to achieve the goal. Developed nations are to cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, to allow a global 50% reduction by the same date. Analysts say there is no indication of how the targets, or costs, will be met. Developed nations have been criticised for ducking interim goals, and difficult talks still lie ahead as negotiators try to firm up the ambitious goals, correspondents say. G8 KEY ISSUES/TIMETABLE WEDNESDAY: Economy 1100 GMT - first session THURSDAY: Climate Change Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, Egypt join talks 1230 GMT - Junior G8 1300 GMT - Major Economies Forum meeting FRIDAY: Development 0630 GMT - crisis' impact on Africa with African leaders attending 0830 GMT - food security 1100 GMT - final news conference G8 members: Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, US
At a glance: summit agenda Mr Berlusconi's G8 Party Chaos and caring In pictures: G8 summit Also, the cut in carbon emissions is only a target and will need the co-operation of rapidly industrialising such as China and India. BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker adds that the baseline for the cuts could be later than 1990. That could allow some countries more modest cuts, as emissions in most rose after that date. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was confident non-G8 countries would back the commitments when climate change was discussed on Thursday. Mr Brown said the G8 deal paved the way for a global agreement at the UN conference in Copenhagen in December. "I hope tomorrow when we meet other countries we'll follow that through and this is a very significant development, the first time it's ever been done," he said. Deadline The summit agenda also includes the global economic downturn, food security, terrorism, North Korea and Iran. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said talks on Iran's nuclear programme would be given a chance until a G-20 summit in the US in September. "If there is no progress by then, we will have to take decisions," he told reporters on Wednesday. HAVE YOUR SAY We have all of the technology available to make this happen tomorrow - these are realistic goals, the bigger question is will it be enough to save the human race Dan, Los Angeles, US Iran has ignored UN calls to halt uranium enrichment, but says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes. US President Barack Obama announced he would call a summit on nuclear security in Washington next March. The G8 - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK and the US - are joined at the summit by leaders or representatives from the G5 group of emerging economies - Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa. Chinese president Hu Jintao flew back to Beijing amid continuing unrest in the western region of Xinjiang. On the global economy, an official statement noted "some signs of stabilisation" but that the outlook remained uncertain, with "significant risks". "We will take, individually and collectively, the necessary steps to return the global economy to a strong, stable and sustainable growth path," the statement said. Mr Brown said G8 leaders recognised that the path out of recession was not yet secure, citing the recent rise in oil prices to $75 a barrel and fears of rising unemployment. Earthquake zone The area where the three-day summit is being held is still suffering aftershocks from the April quake and an evacuation plan is in place in case a serious tremor should hit. African leaders will join the summit on Friday to push for a new initiative to fund farming in the developing world and tackle global hunger. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi moved the summit from Sardinia to L'Aquila to show solidarity with the victims of April's earthquake. He took Mrs Merkel on a tour of Onna, a village almost flattened by the quake, and later Mr Obama was given a tour of L'Aquila to survey the damage. On Wednesday, dozens of protesters occupied four coal power plants in different regions of Italy, demanding tougher measures in fighting climate change, Greenpeace said. In Rome on Tuesday police said they had arrested 36 people after masked protesters blocked roads, threw objects and set fire to tyres. The BBC's Bridget Kendall in L'Aquila says the big question hovering over the summit is whether the whole concept of G8 has been outdated and if a bigger gathering - a G20 - is needed to tackle today's problems.

L'AQUILA, Italy (AFP) – A target set by the G8 for developed countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 is unacceptable for Russia, President Dmitry Medvedev's top economic aide said Wednesday.
"For us the 80 percent figure is unacceptable and likely unattainable," Arkady Dvorkovich told reporters.
"We won't sacrifice economic growth for the sake of emission reduction," he added.
Dvorkovich declined however to unveil Russia's precise targets, saying that releasing them would be premature.
Dvorkovich also said there was no consensus by which year emissions would have to be reduced. "This question is a mystery for everyone," he said.
"The calculations are being done. There are different scenarios," he said, adding they ranged from 20 percent to 60 percent by 2050.
"Discussions on climate are of political nature and are sensitive for everyone," said the aide, within hours of his boss Medvedev apparently signing up to the deal.
"There remains a lot of questions. No one wants to sacrifice their economic growth."
The Russian official was speaking on the margins of a three-day Group of Eight summit in the earthquake-shattered Italian town of L'Aquila.
G8 leaders agreed on the summit's opening day Wednesday to bear the brunt of steep global cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, agreeing to cut overall world emissions by 50 percent by 2050.
At the same time they called on a broader bloc of developed countries to reduce pollution by 80 percent by the same year.
Medvedev's top economic aide also said the target to reduce emissions by 80 percent as compared to 1990 reflected the position of the European Commission but not the G8 as a whole.
Major developed and developing economies face mounting pressure to make ambitious commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions with the clock ticking ahead of the key Copenhagen climate change meeting to set international targets.
"We still have the time to agree our positions before Copenhagan," Dvorkovich said.

Millionen Deutsche kennen seit Donnerstag sein Gesicht, 220 Ermittler suchen ihn.
Bei der Fahndung nach dem Gift-Erpresser von Friedrichshafen fand die Polizei einen Mann, der dem Verdächtigen auf dem Fahndungsfoto ähnlich sieht.
Die Polizei Konstanz bestätigte in der Nacht zu Freitag gegenüber BILD: „Ein Verdächtiger wird derzeit überprüft. Ein Ermittlungsergebnis steht derzeit noch nicht fest.“
Wie ein Sprecher der Polizei in Konstanz zuvor am Abend mitteilte, wurden die Ermittler der Sonderkommission durch Hinweise der Bevölkerung auf den Mann im Landkreis Tübingen aufmerksam.
BILD erfuhr: Die Polizei schnappte den Verdächtigen in einem Mehrfamilienhaus im Ortskern von Ofterdingen (4800 Einwohner).
Kriminalbeamte sicherten Spuren in der Wohnung des Verdächtigen. Ein Polizeihubschrauber landete auf dem Sportplatz der Gemeinde, soll Spezialkräfte in den Ort bei Tübingen gebracht haben.
Dieser Mann wird derzeit vernommen.
Der Erpresser hatte in Geschäften in Friedrichshafen Babynahrung vergiftet und 10 Millionen Euro gefordert. Er droht damit, bei Nichtzahlung bundesweit Lebensmittel zu vergiften.
Nachdem er einen entsprechenden Hinweis gegeben hatte, wurden in Friedrichshafen fünf mit Ethylenglykol vergiftete Gläser Babynahrung gefunden.
Das am Donnerstag veröffentlichte Fahndungsfoto von dem Verdächtigen stammt von einer Überwachungskamera in einem der betroffenen Märkte.

Bei der Soko „Apfel“ gingen bis Freitagabend rund 1000 E-Mails und 200 Anrufe zu der Erpressung ein. 200 Hinweise bezogen sich auf den Täter. An zwei Orten wollen Zeugen den Täter gesehen haben.
► Ein Spur führte nach Peine (Niedersachsen)! Angestellte einer Drogerie-Filiale riefen die Polizei. Sie hatten einen Mann beobachtet, der dem Erpresser sehr ähnlich sieht.
Der Verdächtige konnte vor Eintreffen der Beamten das Geschäft verlassen. Videoaufnahmen aus Peine sollen von der Soko ausgewertet werden.
► Auch in Ofterdingen (Landkreis Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg) wollten Menschen den Erpresser gesehen haben – die Polizei reagierte mit einem Hubschraubereinsatz.
Markus Sauter, Pressesprecher des Polizeipräsidiums Konstanz, bestätigte das am Abend. Gegenüber dem Zollern-Alb-Kurier sagte Sauter: „Um möglichst schnell handeln zu können, haben wir Kräfte per Polizeihubschrauber eingeflogen.“
Der Verdacht aus dem Landkreis Tübingen führte letztlich zu dem Mann, der nun von der Polizei Konstanz überprüft wird.
Der Lebensmittel-Erpresser
Er vergiftete Babynahrung Polizei: Konkrete Hinweise auf Erpresser Fieberhaft fahndet die Polizei nach dem unbekannten Lebensmittel-Erpresser. Dabei erhält sie viel Unterstützung aus der Bevölkerung.
Was ist das für ein Mensch, der Babybrei vergiftet?
Kriminologe Christian Pfeiffer (73) zu BILD: „Es gibt die Geld- und die Machtträumer. In diesem Fall handelt es sich um einen Machtträumer. Es geht ihm nur um die Show. Das ist typisch für ohnmächtige Verlierer. Der Erpresser erlebt derzeit einen Machtrausch. Endlich steht er einmal im Mittelpunkt. Es ist die Hochphase seines Lebens.“
Wie reagieren die erpressten Unternehmen?
In den erpressten Unternehmen herrscht Voll-Alarm. In einigen Supermärkten wurden alle Kassiererinnen zum Überprüfen der Ware beim Verkauf angehalten – inklusive der Warnung an Kunden: „Seien sie aufmerksam!“
Auf BILD-Nachfrage teilten die betroffenen Unternehmen mit, wie sie die Verbraucher schützen wollen:
► Bei Rossmann hat man die Mitarbeiter aller 2100 Filialen in Deutschland umfangreich informiert und für die aktuelle Situation sensibilisiert. Die Angestellten sollen in aller erster Linie auf die Unversehrtheit der Umverpackungen sowie den vorhandenen Unterdruck bei Produkten aus dem Glas achten, um eine Manipulation zu erkennen.
„Mit der bildlichen Darstellung manipulierter Ware in unseren Anweisungen für die Mitarbeiter schärfen wir den Blick für mögliche Auffälligkeiten“, erklärt eine Sprecherin der Drogerie-Kette.
Mitarbeiter könnten sich jederzeit mit der Konzern-Zentrale in Verbindung setzen und hätten dies bereits mehrfach in Anspruch genommen.
Diese Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sollten Sie beachten Babynahrung vergiftet Daran erkennen Sie manipulierte Verpackungen Ermittler jagen einen Erpresser, der Gift in Babykost rührt! Er fordert zehn Millionen Euro. So erkennen Sie, ob Produkte vergiftet sein könnten.
► Auch Erich Harsch, Chef der Drogerie-Kette dm, geht auf Nummer sicher: „Wir haben alle Mitarbeiter zu erhöhter Achtsamkeit aufgefordert, wir kontrollieren auf beschädigte oder bereits geöffnete Produkte.“ Auch die Kunden sollten sich Verpackungen genau anschauen, bei Gläsern den Unterdruck kontrollieren (nach innen gewölbter Deckel, Plopp-Geräusch beim Öffnen).
► Lidl nimmt die Situation ebenfalls äußerst ernst und unternimmt alles, um seine Kunden und Mitarbeiter vor einer möglichen Gefährdung zu schützen. Man arbeite sehr eng und kontinuierlich mit den zuständigen Behörden zusammen.
► Bei Rewe verweist man bei Anfragen auf die ermittelnde Polizeidienststelle.
Alle Handels-Häuser weisen darauf hin, dass Kunden bei Auffälligkeiten im Markt das Personal unverzüglich informieren sollen. Verbraucher, die sich bei Produkten unsicher sind, können die Waren jederzeit in den Märkten wieder zurückgeben.

Ethylenglykol (Archivbild)
Ein Unbekannter forderte von verschiedenen Supermärkten der Ketten Aldi, Rossmann, Lidl, DM, Müller, Edeka, Norma und Rewe in Friedrichshafen einen „niedrigen“ zweistelligen Betrag in Millionenhöhe, sonst droht er damit, bundesweit Lebensmittel zu vergiften, dazu zählt auch Babynahrung. Er drohte in einer E-Mail an die Polizei, den Verbraucherschutz und den betroffenen Supermärkten damit, bis Samstag 20 vergiftete Produkte in mehreren Geschäften in Umlauf zu bringen, wenn bis dahin die Summe nicht übergeben worden sei.
Um den 55 Jahre alten Täter zu schnappen, wurde eine Sonderkommission namens „Apfel“ gebildet, sie umfasst 220 Beamte. Die Sonderkommission fahndet nach dem Mann neben Deutschland auch in den beiden südlichen Nachbarländern Österreich und Schweiz.
Mehreren Mitteilungen zufolge wurde ein „dringend tatverdächtiger“ Mann am Freitag in Ofterdingen im Kreis Tübingen nach einer Kontrolle festgenommen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft möchte noch am Samstag einen Haftbefehl gegen den mutmaßlichen Erpresser beantragen und ihn dem Haftrichter vorführen. Weiterhin ruft die Polizei dazu auf „wachsam zu sein“. Es stehe noch nicht fest, ob der Mann weitere vergiftete Lebensmittel in Drogerien und Supermärkten in Umlauf gebracht hat. Kunden sollen darauf achten, dass Verpackungen nicht beschädigt seien und beim Öffnen des Produkts auf das typische „Knacken“ zu hören sei. Sollte dies nicht zutreffen, solle gegebenenfalls der Einzelhändler informiert werden.
Die betroffene Babynahrung wurde mit dem Gift Ethylenglykol manipuliert. Ab einer Menge von 30 Millilitern kann die Flüssigkeit gesundheitsschädlich für Erwachsene sein. Jedoch können Betroffene medizinisch behandelt werden, sodass die Vergiftung nicht zwingend tödlich verlaufen muss.

Friedrichshafen dpa Im Zusammenhang mit der Suche nach dem Supermarkterpresser aus Friedrichshafen gehen die Ermittler konkreten Hinweisen nach. So werde ein Mann aus dem Kreis Tübingen überprüft, teilten Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft am Freitagabend mit.
Polizeisprecher Markus Sauter betonte allerdings, es stehe keineswegs fest, ob es sich bei dem Mann tatsächlich um den gesuchten Verdächtigen handele. Den Angaben zufolge wurden die Ermittler durch Hinweise aus der Bevölkerung auf ihn aufmerksam. Auch ein Hubschrauber war im Einsatz. Der Mann sei vorläufig festgenommen worden, sagte der Sprecher.
Die Polizei hatte am Donnerstag Fahndungsbilder eines dringend tatverdächtigen Mannes veröffentlicht. Der unbekannte Täter hatte in einer E-Mail an die Polizei, den Verbraucherschutz und mehrere Lebensmittelkonzerne vom Mitte September damit gedroht, bis Samstag 20 vergiftete Lebensmittel in Umlauf zu bringen. Er forderte einen niedrigen, zweistelligen Millionenbetrag. Schon Mitte September waren fünf mit Ethylenglycol vergiftete Gläschen mit Babynahrung in Friedrichshafen entdeckt worden.

Die Polizei in Baden-Württemberg hält den im Zusammenhang mit den Supermarkt-Erpressungen Festgenommenen für dringend tatverdächtig. Die Staatsanwaltschaft will noch heute einen Haftbefehl gegen den
55-Jährigen beantragen.
Im Fall des Gift-Erpressers von Friedrichshafen hat sich der Tatverdacht gegen einen Festgenommenen erhärtet. Der am Freitagabend festgenommene Mann gilt jetzt als dringend tatverdächtig, wie die Staatsanwaltschaft Ravensburg und die Polizei in Konstanz am Morgen erklärten.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft will den 55-Jährigen noch heute dem Haftrichter vorführen und einen Haftbefehl beantragen. Zugleich rief ein Polizeisprecher die Verbraucher auf, weiterhin wachsam zu sein. Man wisse noch nicht, ob der mutmaßliche Täter weitere vergiftete Lebensmittel in Supermärkten oder Drogerien in Umlauf gebracht habe.
Die Ermittler seien nach Hinweisen aus der Bevölkerung auf den Mann aufmerksam geworden. Die Polizei hatte den Mann am Freitag in Ofterdingen (Kreis Tübingen) überprüft und festgenommen.
Mehrere Lebensmittelkonzerne bedroht
Der mutmaßliche Täter hatte in einer E-Mail an die Polizei, den Verbraucherschutz und mehrere Lebensmittelkonzerne von Mitte September damit gedroht, bis Samstag 20 vergiftete Lebensmittel in Umlauf zu bringen. Er forderte einen niedrigen, zweistelligen Millionenbetrag.
Welche Filialen und welche Produkte er ins Auge gefasst hatte, ließ der Täter offen. Nach Informationen der "Bild"-Zeitung richtete sich die Erpressung gegen Aldi, Rossmann, Lidl, DM, Müller, Edeka, Norma und Rewe. Der Täter gab der Polizei aber einen Hinweis auf ein Geschäft in Friedrichshafen, wo dann fünf mit Ethylenglykol vergiftete Gläser Babynahrung gefunden wurden.
Die Polizei veröffentlichte daraufhin am Donnerstag ein Fahndungsfoto von dem Verdächtigen, dass von einer Überwachungskamera in dem Markt aufgenommen worden war.
Sie riet Kunden, auf Beschädigungen an Produktverpackungen zu achten und das Geschäft darüber gegebenenfalls zu informieren. Unter anderem sollten Kunden überprüfen, ob der normalerweise vorhandene Unterdruck vorhanden ist. Dieser lässt sich daran erkennen, dass der Deckel nach innen gewölbt und beim Öffnen ein Knacken zu hören ist.
Nach dem Fahndungsaufruf gingen bei der Polizei bundesweit Hunderte Hinweise ein. Im niedersächsischen Peine wertete die Polizei nach einem Hinweis von Drogerie-Angestellten Bilder einer Überwachungskamera aus. Anschließend gab sie Entwarnung. Ein von den Angestellten für den Verdächtigen gehaltener Mann habe in der Drogerie nur eingekauft.
Auch in Österreich und der Schweiz wurde nach dem Verdächtigen gefahndet.
Ethylenglykol ist dem Verbraucherschutzministerium Baden-Württemberg zufolge bei Erwachsenen ab einer Menge von 30 Millilitern gesundheitsgefährdend. Eine Vergiftung könne aber medizinisch gestoppt werden und müsse daher nicht tödlich sein.

Ethylenglykol (Archivbild)
Ein Unbekannter forderte von verschiedenen Supermärkten der Ketten Aldi, Rossmann, Lidl, DM, Müller, Edeka, Norma und Rewe in Friedrichshafen einen „niedrigen“ zweistelligen Betrag in Millionenhöhe, sonst droht er damit, bundesweit Lebensmittel zu vergiften, dazu zählt auch Babynahrung. Er drohte in einer E-Mail an die Polizei, den Verbraucherschutz und den betroffenen Supermärkten damit, bis Samstag 20 vergiftete Produkte in mehreren Geschäften in Umlauf zu bringen, wenn bis dahin die Summe nicht übergeben worden sei.
Um den 55 Jahre alten Täter zu schnappen, wurde eine Sonderkommission namens „Apfel“ gebildet, sie umfasst 220 Beamte. Die Sonderkommission fahndet nach dem Mann neben Deutschland auch in den beiden südlichen Nachbarländern Österreich und Schweiz.
Mehreren Mitteilungen zufolge wurde ein „dringend tatverdächtiger“ Mann am Freitag in Ofterdingen im Kreis Tübingen nach einer Kontrolle festgenommen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft möchte noch am Samstag einen Haftbefehl gegen den mutmaßlichen Erpresser beantragen und ihn dem Haftrichter vorführen. Weiterhin ruft die Polizei dazu auf „wachsam zu sein“. Es stehe noch nicht fest, ob der Mann weitere vergiftete Lebensmittel in Drogerien und Supermärkten in Umlauf gebracht hat. Kunden sollen darauf achten, dass Verpackungen nicht beschädigt seien und beim Öffnen des Produkts auf das typische „Knacken“ zu hören sei. Sollte dies nicht zutreffen, solle gegebenenfalls der Einzelhändler informiert werden.
Die betroffene Babynahrung wurde mit dem Gift Ethylenglykol manipuliert. Ab einer Menge von 30 Millilitern kann die Flüssigkeit gesundheitsschädlich für Erwachsene sein. Jedoch können Betroffene medizinisch behandelt werden, sodass die Vergiftung nicht zwingend tödlich verlaufen muss.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Thousands of American troops searched on Sunday for three U.S. soldiers missing in Iraq after an ambush in which al Qaeda said it seized "crusader" forces, while a suicide bomber killed 50 people in the Kurdish north.
The self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, a group led by al Qaeda, said in an Internet posting it was holding soldiers who survived an attack south of Baghdad in which the U.S. military said four U.S. troops and an Iraqi army translator were killed.
That attack and the suicide truck bombing came as President George W. Bush deploys 30,000 more U.S. troops due in Iraq in June in what is seen as a final push to halt a slide into all-out civil war between majority Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs.
Last June, al Qaeda abducted two U.S. soldiers in the same area where the patrol of seven U.S. soldiers and one Iraqi army interpreter were ambushed on Saturday. Their badly mutilated bodies were found days later.
Iran and the United States, making a cautious diplomatic rapprochement, said they would hold talks in Baghdad aimed at stabilizing Iraq.
The White House said U.S. and Iranian officials would meet in the next few weeks. The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, will head the U.S. team.
Talks between Shi'ite Iran and the United States, which accuses Tehran of supplying and training Shi'ite militia in Iraq, are rare. The two countries, at loggerheads over Iran's nuclear program, have not had diplomatic ties for more than a quarter century. Iran denies charges it stirs trouble in Iraq.
In Baghdad, a car bomb killed 12 people in a popular market in a mostly Shi'ite area, police said. The attack was of the kind U.S. and Iraqi officials say are carried out by Sunni al Qaeda in a campaign to stoke sectarian passions heightened since a Shi'ite shrine was bombed in Samarra in 2006.

A US patrol in Iraq in 2004
Five members of United States patrol were killed and 3 presumed kidnapped in Mahmoudiyah, a town just south of Baghdad, Iraq when militants attacked their patrol. Three of the killed were US soldiers. An Iraqi interpreter who was traveling with the soldiers was also killed. The fifth body has yet to be identified.
"We can establish now the identity of three of the American soldiers who were killed and the one Iraqi Army interpreter that was killed. So the identification of four of the five is now complete and the fifth one is still ongoing," Major General William B. Caldwell, chief spokesperson for the Multinational Force Iraq, said at a news conference.
Soldiers near the patrol heard the sound of explosions and gunfire at about 4:44 a.m local time and tried to radio the patrol, but with no success. 15 minutes after the attack, U.S. military unmanned sky drones spotted the two vehicles in the patrol on fire.
The U.S. military has launched a massive search for the soldier which includes a house-to-house search and the setting up of roadblocks on roads leading into and out of the city so that the missing soldiers will not be moved out of the city and also to prevent the militants from entering an area that the U.S. military calls the "triangle of death." The U.S. military states that the search for the soldiers will go on until they know if they are dead or alive.
The search is also going to continue into the night. "A lot of our vehicles have thermal capabilities, which sometimes work better at night than they do during the day," said U.S. military spokesman, Lt. Col. Christopher Garver.
''Associated Press'' is reporting that the Islamic State of Iraq has claimed responsibility and said it is holding US soldiers per a statement found on an Islamic website.
The attack brings the current U.S. soldier death toll to at least 3,391.

US and Iraqi troops searched the farms near Mahmudiya
Five soldiers were killed in the insurgent attack on the patrol of seven Americans and their Iraqi interpreter near the town of Mahmudiya.
Roadblocks have been set up to prevent the soldiers being moved from the area.
A US military spokesman said the search would continue until the fate of the missing soldiers was known.
The area around Mahmudiya has been the scene of frequent attacks by insurgents against US troops.
The patrol was attacked 11km (seven miles) west of the town at 0444 (0044 GMT), spokesman Maj Gen William Caldwell said.
On Sunday, a group associated with al-Qaeda in Iraq, calling itself Islamic State in Iraq, posted a statement on the internet claiming responsibility for the attack and saying that it was holding the missing soldiers.
The group offered no proof to back up its claim.
Major operation
A nearby unit heard the attack but could not establish contact with the patrol, Gen Caldwell said.
A rapid reaction force was sent and a huge operation was launched involving helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and fixed-wing aircraft, to try to find the missing men.
The US military said it was talking to local leaders to try to enlist their help in the search.
Checkpoints have been set up on roads leading away from the area and west into Anbar to prevent the soldiers being taken to an insurgent base.
US and Iraqi troops combed farms and orchards in the area of the attack and the search continued overnight with the use of thermal imaging equipment.
"Make no mistake: we will never stop looking for our soldiers until their status is definitively determined, and we continue to pray for their safe return," said Gen Caldwell.
The US military has not clarified if the Iraqi interpreter was among the missing or those killed.
In the past year, six US soldiers have been abducted and killed by insurgents in two similar incidents.
The bodies of two soldiers were found days after they went missing in the same area last June, while four soldiers were abducted and killed by insurgents in Karbala in January this year.
An extra 30,000 US troops are being deployed in Baghdad and Anbar province as part of a four-month old joint Iraqi-American security drive.
US commanders say the "surge" in troops has reduced the number of sectarian murders in the capital but the number of car bombings remains undiminished at more than 100 a month, says the BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad.
More than 3,300 US soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.

Sebastian Vettel ha dado un puñetazo sobre la mesa en el Mundial 2009 de Fórmula 1. El alemán de Red Bull ha ganado con autoridad el Gran Premio de Inglaterra en Silverstone, por delante de su compañero de equipo Mark Webber y del Brawn de Rubens Barrichello.
Con estos resultados, el joven Vettel se acerca a la segunda posición del Mundial que todavía ostenta el propio Barrichello, pero con sólo dos puntos de ventaja sobre el ganador de hoy. Jenson Button aún lidera cómodamente la clasificación de pilotos, pero hoy sólo ha podido ser sexto en la carrera con un Brawn que nada tenía que ver con el que le dio seis victorias en las siete primeras carreras del año.
La carrera ha sido todo un recital de los Red Bull; Barrichello ha mantenido el segundo puesto en la salida, pero Mark Webber tenía bastante más gasolina en sus depósitos y en la primera parada en boxes ha superado al brasileño de Brawn. Desde entonces, los dos coches austriacos han disfrutado de una carrera en solitario y con una ventaja muy reseñable sobre los demás participantes.
Muy por detrás de ellos, Fernando Alonso ha tenido una carrera complicadísima. El decimocuarto puesto final que ha logrado el español no hace honor al esfuerzo supremo del asturiano por ganar posiciones durante toda la carrera. Primero ha luchado a brazo partido con el BMW de Nick Heidfeld, un hueso muy duro de roer que hoy todavía lo ha sido más por una pequeña rotura en el alerón delantero. El motivo, que no perdía velocidad punta, pero sí en el paso por curva, de modo que Alonso no podía ni siquiera intentar el adelantamiento. Tras ser incluso superado por el Force India de Giancarlo Fisichella, el espñañol ha modificado ligeramente su estrategia para lograr superar a Heidfeld.
Más tarde, un duelo muy cerrado con Lewis Hamilton ha retrasado todavía más a un Alonso que finalmente ha podido despegarse del actual Campeón del Mundo y afrontar el final de carrera con un mínimo de tranquilidad. En esa fase de la carrera se ha echado encima de Robert Kubica, pero el BMW se ha mostrado una vez más como un muro infranqueable por su elevada velocidad en recta. Así pues, carrera sin puntos para Fernando, que con frustración pasa por este Mundial 2009 sin grandes éxitos en resultados.
Distintas han sido las cosas para los Ferrari, ya que los dos coches de la Scuderia han terminado en la zona de puntos: Felipe Massa ha hecho gala de una conducción fina y sin errores y, al contrario que el año pasado, ha progresado desde atrás con una estrategia conservadora para cruzar la línea de meta en una muy meritoria cuarta posición. Por su lado, Kimi Raikkonen ha efectuado una fantástica salida, pero su menor carga de combustible inicial le ha rezagado hasta el octavo puesto, por detrás de Trulli y Button, pese a tener un ritmo incluso más rápido que el de éstos dos rivales.
Otra buena noticia para el deporte es el quinto puesto de Nico Rosberg a los mandos de su Williams; su actuación ha sido tan discreta como efectiva, e incluso su compañero de equipo Kazuki Nakajima parecía en disposición de luchar por los puntos, ya que ha terminado el primer stint en cuarta posición. Sin embargo, las cosas han acabado por torcerse para Nakajima y sólo Rosberg ha podido colarse entre los primeros clasificados con un Williams que ha resistido los envites de Button y su Brawn en los últimos giros de la prueba.
El próximo Gran Premio nos lleva hasta Alemania, al circuito de Nürburgring, donde podremos confirmar si el nuevo paquete aerodinámico de Red Bull ha cambiado el orden en la Fórmula 1 o si Brawn volverá a comandar las clasificaciones. Como siempre, lo seguiremos en directo desde TheF1.com.

Vettel lidera doblete para Red Bull en Silverstone
La escudería Red Bull Racing completó un gran fin de semana esta tarde en el Circuito de Silverstone, en donde Sebastian Vettel, tras dominar el Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña de principio a fin, cruzó la línea de meta en primera posición y Mark Webber fue segundo. Rubens Barrichello acompañó en el podio a los dos compañeros de equipo.
Previo al comienzo de la carrera el drama llegó a las filas de la escudería Force India cuando el nuevo chasis enviado desde la fábrica del equipo a la pista para Adrian Sutil se averiaba en Becketts en la vuelta de reconocimiento nada más salir de boxes. El alemán, quien no tuvo más remedio que tomar la salida para el GP británico desde el pitlane, acabó en 17º lugar por delante de Sebastien Buemi. Su compañero Giancarlo Fisichella impresionó durante las 60 vueltas de la carrera para cruzar la línea de meta entre los diez primeros.
Saliendo desde la pole position, Vettel no tuvo problemas para mantener su lugar al entrar a Copse, mientras que Kimi Raikkonen aprovechaba el KERS instalado en su Ferrari para colocarse quinto después de haber arrancado desde la novena plaza de la parrilla. Como consecuencia de la buena salida del finlandés, Jenson Button perdió una posición y al final de la primera vuelta era noveno. Kakuki Nakajima mejoró un lugar para colocarse cuarto, pero al final acabó la carrera en una decepcionante 11ª posición.
El compañero de Nakajima en el equipo Williams, Nico Rosberg no hizo nada para dañar su causa y acabar entre los cinco primeros, mientras que Felipe Massa fue el siguiente hombre por detrás del trío de cabeza tras adelantar al alemán durante la última parada en boxes.
El vigente campeón del mundo, Lewis Hamilton, tuvo una tarde complicada tras arrancar desde la 19º posición. El piloto de McLaren Mercedes, después de mantener una fantástica batalla con su antiguo compañero de equipo Fernando Alonso, llegó a meta 16º. Para deleite de sus aficionados y compatriotas, Hamilton hizo una demostración de donuts en la curva Club al final de la carrera. Su compañero de equipo, el finlandés Heikki Kovalainen no acabó el GP británico después de un incidente con el francés Sebastien Bourdais, quien también se vio forzado a abandonar.
Usando su ventaja en las paradas en boxes, Buton recuperó su posición en la parrilla de salida y durante las últimas vueltas presionó a Rosberg con la esperanza de que éste cometiese un error que le diese la quinta plaza, pero al final tuvo que conformarse con ser 6º. Con este resultado, su ventaja en el campeonato queda reducida de 26 a 23 puntos, mientras que Vettel se coloca a un par de puntos de Barrichello que es segundo.
Debido a la pérdida del GP de Francia, la Fórmula Uno disfrutará ahora de un descanso de tres semanas. La próxima carrera tendrá lugar el 12 de julio en el circuito alemán de Nürburgring .

« Il y a plus de choses dans le ciel et sur la terre, Horatio, que n'en rêve votre philosophie. » On pense tout de suite à cette phrase mise dans la bouche d'Hamlet par William Shakespeare en 1601 lorsque l'on prend connaissance de la publication sur arXiv d'un groupe d'astrophysiciens. Les chercheurs y expliquent avoir utilisé le radiotélescope Alma (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) pour étudier de plus près une jeune étoile binaire cataloguée sous la dénomination de IRS 43, ce qui indique qu'elle a été observée dans l'infrarouge par le célèbre télescope IRAS. Cette étoile est située à environ 400 années-lumière du Soleil, dans la région de formation stellaire bien connue Rho Ophiuchi. Elle n'est âgée que de quelques centaines de milliers d'années environ.
Jusque là, rien d'étonnant. Mais selon les observations faites avec Alma, on n'observe rien de moins que trois disques protoplanétaires avec cette étoile double, deux circumstellaires, donc autour de chaque étoile individuelle, et un circumbinaire, c'est-à-dire autour de l'étoile binaire. Et ce qui n'avait jamais été vu jusqu'à présent, c'est que tous ces disques ne sont clairement pas parallèles.
Ce schéma montre deux petits disques protoplanétaires autour de deux jeunes étoiles, donc circumstellaires, et un grand disque circumbinaire. Les deux étoiles formant le système binaire se déplacent dans un plan orbital indiqué par les flèches et la courbe en tirets. La matière dans les disques est en rotation de sorte que la lumière est décalée vers le rouge si elle s'éloigne d'un observateur et vers le bleu dans le cas contraire. Ceci explique le choix des couleurs pour les disques. © Christian Brinch, NBI, KU
Des disques protoplanétaires circumstellaires et circumbinaires
Cela fait environ 25 ans que les astronomes explorent le monde des exoplanètes et ils sont allés de surprises en surprises. Beaucoup des systèmes planétaires découverts ne ressemblent pas à notre Système solaire, au grand plaisir des fans de science-fiction d'ailleurs. On a ainsi commencé à découvrir, notamment avec Spitzer, qu'il existait des planètes avec des doubles couchers de soleil, comme sur la Tatooine de Star Wars. Cela n'avait rien d'évident pour les mécaniciens célestes qui voyaient mal comment des planètes pouvaient se former et rester sur des orbites relativement stables autour d'une étoile faisant partie d'un système binaire avec deux soleils proches.
Pourtant, on a fini pas découvrir récemment des disques protoplanétaires circumstellaires autour des membres d'étoiles binaires et même des disques circumbinaires supplémentaires. Jusqu'ici, ils étaient dans des plans presque parallèles (plans orbitaux des étoiles comme des disques), comme on pouvait s'y attendre avec la théorie de la formation des étoiles et des planètes. Mais dans le cas de IRS 43, non seulement les disques circumstellaires ne sont pas dans cette configuration mais ils ne sont pas parallèles non plus avec le plan du disque circumbinaire. C'est une première et si des planètes sont en formation dans ces disques, elles auront donc des plans orbitaux non parallèles entre elles et avec celui des étoiles de la binaire.
Le schéma précédent a été déduit des observations faites dans le domaine des micro-ondes par le radiotélescope Alma. Elles sont représentées ici avec le même code de couleur pour les molécules présentes dans les disques (disk) dont les orientations sont représentées par des segments de droite avec tirets. En bas à gauche, notre Système solaire donne l'échelle. © Christian Brinch, NBI, KU
La turbulence et la naissance des exoplanètes
On connaît jusqu'à présent une centaine d'exoplanètes en orbite circumstellaire et une dizaine en orbite circumbinaire, à chaque fois dans des plans presque parallèles à ceux des étoiles binaires. IRS 43 peut sembler une anomalie mais en fait nous n'en savons rien car il doit y avoir un biais observationnel. Les planètes dans des plans orbitaux quasi-parallèles aux plans orbitaux d'une étoile binaire sont plus facilement détectables car la probabilité d'observer un transit avec des télescopes spatiaux comme Kepler est bien plus importante dans ce type de configuration.
Reste à vraiment comprendre comment les disques autour de IRS 43 sont apparus. On sait déjà que les étoiles doubles sont majoritaires dans la Voie lactée où elles naissent par fragmentation et effondrement d'un nuage moléculaire qui donne d'ailleurs simultanément un grand nombre d'étoiles sous la forme d'un amas ouvert. Le mélange de gaz et de poussières peut devenir turbulent lors de ce processus et c'est peut-être là que prennent naissance des mécanismes expliquant la formation des disques de IRS 43, selon les astrophysiciens. Mais si tel est bien le cas, il faudra sans doute avoir recours à des simulations numériques avec des superordinateurs pour y voir clair, car l'analyse de la turbulence des fluides à l'aide de l'équation de Navier-Stokes est notoirement très difficile dans la majorité des cas.

A Noruega é a principal doadora do Fundo Amazônia, com cerca de 94% do financiamento. Em 2019, o país bloqueou um repasse de R$ 132,6 milhões ao fundo depois que o Brasil anunciou a intenção de alterar a composição de um comitê de desmatamento do fundo e de destinar recursos para indenizar proprietários de terras. Na época, o país nórdico também pediu a empresas que atuam no Brasil que verificassem se estavam causando danos à Amazônia.
A Alemanha, segunda maior doadora, também suspendeu repasses. Juntos, os dois países respondem por quase todo o financiamento do fundo; apenas 0,5% vem da Petrobrás.
Para o encontro de abril, Biden também convidou líderes de países que estão demonstrando forte liderança climática, são especialmente vulneráveis aos impactos do clima ou estão traçando caminhos inovadores para uma economia de emissões líquidas zero de gases estufa. Um pequeno número de líderes empresariais e da sociedade civil também participará (veja convidados ao final da reportagem).

No evento de abril, os Estados Unidos vão anunciar a meta americana de emissões de gases estufa até 2030. O intuito das metas de emissões é que cada país determine o seu objetivo nacional de modo a evitar que a temperatura do planeta aumente mais que 1,5ºC em relação aos níveis pré-industriais.
Em janeiro, ao assumir a presidência, Biden assinou um ato executivo que colocou os Estados Unidos outra vez no acordo.
No convite, a Casa Branca diz que a Cúpula dos Líderes sobre o Clima "enfatizará a urgência – e os benefícios econômicos – de uma ação climática mais forte". Biden convidou os líderes a usarem a reunião "como uma oportunidade para delinear como seus países também contribuirão para uma ambição climática mais forte".
O encontro, diz a nota, "será um marco importante" no caminho para a COP26. A cúpula também deve destacar "exemplos de como a ambição climática aprimorada criará empregos bem remunerados, promoverá tecnologias inovadoras e ajudará os países vulneráveis a se adaptarem aos impactos do clima".
Veja os principais temas do encontro:
Esforços para mobilizar as principais economias do mundo a reduzirem as emissões de gases estufa nesta década, para manter o limite de aquecimento de 1,5ºC ao alcance;

Yesterday, the total number of confirmed cases of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections surpassed one million in the United States, (JHU) data indicated. The coronavirus causes COVID-19, a sometimes-fatal disease. The milestone came a few weeks after the total number of infections worldwide surpassed one million on April 2.
The United States has the highest number of known infections, as of yesterday, with confirmed infections in the next highest country, Spain, totaling to around a quarter of a million.
The United States also has the highest number of deaths related to COVID-19, according to the JHU data; at least 55,000 deaths linked to COVID-19 in the United States as of yesterday, with the number rising by over one 1,000 deaths per day according to the website. Italy, the country with the next highest number of COVID-19-related deaths, had around 27,000 as of yesterday.
According to reports, the number of confirmed cases trails the true number of infections.

The United States has surpassed 1 million confirmed Covid-19 cases, just a few months after the novel coronavirus first arrived in America.
The confirmed number of cases, based on the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center’s tally, is almost surely an undercount. The US’s initial response to the outbreak was stifled by undertesting and, while America’s testing capacity has increased in the last month, experts say there are still likely many more cases than are actually included in the official counts. Various attempts to roughly capture the share of the population that has been exposed to the coronavirus through serological testing seem to confirm that the US has not fully measured the extent of the outbreak within its own borders.
And within a matter of days, the US is also likely to pass another ominous milestone: more than 60,000 confirmed deaths from Covid-19. The current total sits north of 55,000 and more than 1,000 Americans are dying every day from the virus.
President Donald Trump once claimed that such a toll would count as a victory, given the projections of millions of deaths if there were no social distancing measure put into place. The ultimate cost in lives of the coronavirus remains to be seen, and, again, experts believe the actual number of people to die from the disease or because the health system has been overstretched is likely much higher than the official count.
The US has by far the most confirmed Covid-19 cases (Spain is second with about 230,000) and deaths (Italy is next, with about 27,000), though many countries have the same issues with undertesting and asymptomatic cases make it difficult to track the virus. China has also acknowledged initially undercounting its cases and outside reporting suggests the pandemic has been deadlier there than the official numbers suggest, though it is difficult to assess whether it has been worse than in America.
Regardless, at this point, the United States has been and will continue to be the clear epicenter of this global pandemic.
The US health system was less prepared for a pandemic than those of other wealthy nations. A high uninsured rate, high out-of-pocket health care costs, and low medical system capacity combined to make the country more vulnerable to a pathogen before the coronavirus ever came to our shores. America’s lax response in the early days of the outbreak only compounded those structural problems.
“Everyone working in this space would agree that no matter how you measure it, the US is far behind on this,” Jen Kates, director of global health and HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told Vox in mid-March of the initial coronavirus response.
As the US implements dramatic measures to control the spread of Covid-19, with schools and businesses closing and general social distancing underway, the country is still struggling to understand the full scope of the outbreak because of the slow start of testing. It has undeniably hindered the US response.
“The testing failure is putting additional strain on our already challenged health system,” Cynthia Cox, director of the Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker, said in March. “The combination of all of these factors will make the US worse off than similar countries.”
Testing is not only important because it gets people diagnosed and appropriate treatment if they have an infection, it also establishes how widespread a virus actually is. Experts know the size of the problem, they know the rate at which people are being hospitalized or dying, and they can follow its movements.
But the United States faltered in rolling out coronavirus tests, initially putting America behind its economic peers in tracing the outbreak. A manufacturing problem with the test kits that were initially sent out in the field, and a delay in approving commercial tests, set the nation back in stopping or slowing down Covid-19.
Even as testing capacity has ramped up in the US, as of April 27, America is still lagging behind other places in the world hit hardest by the virus in the share of its population being tested. The US has tested about far fewer people per million residents as Italy, a focal point of Europe’s outbreak, and Germany, considered a model of rapid and widespread testing.
There have been nearly 5.4 million tests conducted in the US for its population of 329 million, but the number of tests per capita conducted varies greatly by state.
The US has finally started to catch up to the rest of the developed world in responding to Covid-19. But as case numbers and deaths continue to increase, we’re still learning the full scope of the crisis.

NASA Images Suggest Water Still Flows in Brief Spurts on Mars
More Images:
+ Groundwater May Be Responsible
+ New Craters
+ Fresh Crater in Arabia Terra
NASA photographs have revealed bright new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest water carried sediment through them sometime during the past seven years.
"These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, Washington.

Liquid water, as opposed to the water ice and water vapor known to exist at Mars, is considered necessary for life. The new findings heighten intrigue about the potential for microbial life on Mars. The Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor provided the new evidence of the deposits in images taken in 2004 and 2005.
"The shapes of these deposits are what you would expect to see if the material were carried by flowing water," said Michael Malin of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. "They have finger-like branches at the downhill end and easily diverted around small obstacles." Malin is principal investigator for the camera and lead author of a report about the findings published in the journal Science.
The atmosphere of Mars is so thin and the temperature so cold that liquid water cannot persist at the surface. It would rapidly evaporate or freeze. Researchers propose that water could remain liquid long enough, after breaking out from an underground source, to carry debris downslope before totally freezing. The two fresh deposits are each several hundred meters or yards long.

The light tone of the deposits could be from surface frost continuously replenished by ice within the body of the deposit. Another possibility is a salty crust, which would be a sign of water's effects in concentrating the salts. If the deposits had resulted from dry dust slipping down the slope, they would likely be dark, based on the dark tones of dust freshly disturbed by rover tracks, dust devils and fresh craters on Mars.
Mars Global Surveyor has discovered tens of thousands of gullies on slopes inside craters and other depressions on Mars. Most gullies are at latitudes of 30 degrees or higher. Malin and his team first reported the discovery of the gullies in 2000. To look for changes that might indicate present-day flow of water, his camera team repeatedly imaged hundreds of the sites. One pair of images showed a gully that appeared after mid-2002. That site was on a sand dune, and the gully-cutting process was interpreted as a dry flow of sand.

Today's announcement is the first to reveal newly deposited material apparently carried by fluids after earlier imaging of the same gullies. The two sites are inside craters in the Terra Sirenum and the Centauri Montes regions of southern Mars.
"These fresh deposits suggest that at some places and times on present-day Mars, liquid water is emerging from beneath the ground and briefly flowing down the slopes. This possibility raises questions about how the water would stay melted below ground, how widespread it might be, and whether there's a below-ground wet habitat conducive to life. Future missions may provide the answers," said Malin.
Besides looking for changes in gullies, the orbiter's camera team assessed the rate at which new impact craters appear. The camera photographed approximately 98 percent of Mars in 1999 and approximately 30 percent of the planet was photographed again in 2006. The newer images show 20 fresh impact craters, ranging in diameter from 7 feet (2 meters) to 486 feet (148 meters) that were not present approximately seven years earlier. These results have important implications for determining the ages of features on the surface of Mars. These results also approximately match predictions and imply that Martian terrain with few craters is truly young.
Mars Global Surveyor began orbiting Mars in 1997. The spacecraft is responsible for many important discoveries. NASA has not heard from the spacecraft since early November. Attempts to contact it continue. Its unprecedented longevity has allowed monitoring Mars for over several years past its projected lifetime.

Um novo depósito de água em uma cratera da Região Centauri Montes
Fotos da NASA divulgadas hoje sugerem que água ainda flui em Marte, em curtos jorros. As fotos tiradas pela sonda Mars Global Surveyor, desde novembro dada como perdida, apontam depósitos recentes provocados por um fluido que são "como se deveria esperar se o material fosse carregado por água", disse Michael Malin, do Malin Space Science Systems, responsável pela construção da câmera principal da sonda. "Eles tem prolongamentos semelhantes a dedos no fim da descida, e facilmente contornaram pequenos obstáculos".
Já havia evidências de gelo e vapor d'água em Marte, assim como de que no passado o planeta já contou com rios e mares. Esta, porém, é a primeira evidência de que pode haver água líquida no planeta, possivelmente em reservatórios subterrâneos.

FORT-DE-FRANCE, Martinique (AP) -- A powerful earthquake rocked the eastern Caribbean on Thursday, damaging buildings and panicking residents, some of whom were hurt when they jumped from windows.
The magnitude-7.4 earthquake was centered 14 miles northwest of Martinique's coastline, lasted longer than 20 seconds. It struck at 2 p.m. EST and was felt as far away as Puerto Rico to the west, and Venezuela and Suriname to the south.
It collapsed the roofs of a bank and a store in the capital of this French island and left cracks in several other buildings.
"My house shook so hard I thought it was going to fall," said a caller to Radio Martinique who identified herself only as Fannie. "The door, the windows, everything shook."
Martinique police and firefighters responded to hundreds of calls for help but only minor injuries were reported, said an official who declined to give his name in accordance with government policy. One British citizen died from heart failure during the quake, according to the island's civil security office.
Six people were injured when they jumped through windows, including one listed in serious condition, said Samuel Bernes, a civil security office spokesman. Others were slightly injured when they tried to flee their homes, and dozens were treated for panic attacks, officials said.
More than 31,000 people on the island of 400,000 were without power Thursday evening, officials said. Many lingered outdoors for hours, fearing aftershocks.
The quake slightly damaged some homes and water pipes in St. Lucia, St. Vincent and other nearby islands.
Experts said the depth of the quake, at 90 miles, spared the region severe destruction.
"I wouldn't expect major damage because the quake has some depth," said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said the quake was too deep to generate a destructive tsunami.
Scientists at the Seismic Research Unit at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad said the quake was the second-strongest since the unit began monitoring the movements of the Caribbean tectonic plate in 1952. The biggest was a 7.5 temblor recorded in 1974, according to unit seismologist Roderick Stewart.
In Barbados, a woman was trampled as workers fled an office building in Bridgetown, the capital, and was hospitalized in stable condition. Another woman broke her leg while trying to rush out of her home, according to a police report.
In Trinidad, the shaking sent workers streaming out of office towers into the streets of the capital, Port-of-Spain.
Flights at St. Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport were briefly suspended. In Guyana, lawmakers evacuated the South American country's parliament building.
The earthquake did not disrupt production at Trinidad's state-owned oil refinery, Petrotrin, which produces 160,000 barrels of refined gasoline, diesel and oil daily for domestic use and export to countries including the United States.
"We have not had any reports about breakdowns from our exploration and production fields," spokesman Arnold Corneal said. "We are still doing checks."
The temblor triggered a series of false quake alarms in California, with computers picking up energy coming out of the Caribbean and erroneously treating it as local seismic activity, scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Localización del temblor entre Dominica y Martinica.
Hoy, entre Martinica y Dominica, se registró un temblor de una magnitud de 7,4 en la Escala Richter, según el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos.
Su epicentro tuvo lugar en Martinica a 88,2 millas (142 kilómetros) de profundidad y se sintió hasta unas 399 millas al noroeste, en San Juan, Puerto Rico, alrededor de las 3:00 p.m. (hora local, 19:00 UTC). El director de la Agencia Estatal para el Manejo de Emergencias y Desastres de Puerto Rico, Nazario Lugo Burgos, informó que en Puerto Rico se sintió como un seísmo de 6,2 grados y múltiples edificios fueron desalojados.
Hasta el momento, no se han reportado daños en estructuras, sólo heridas menores entre la población de estas islas; tampoco se ha emitido una advertencia de maremotos, ya que el sismo se produjo demasiado profundo para causar uno, según un boletín del ''Pacific Tsunami Warning Center'' de los Estados Unidos en Hawái. Don Blakeman, un geofísico del Centro Nacional de Información Sísmica de los Estados Unidos en Colorado, dijo que no esperaba que hubiésen ningunos daños graves por esta misma razón; el sismo ocurrió demasiado profundo en la tierra.
"Es raro este tipo de movimiento en esa área, desde 1942 no se había sentido un movimiento de más de 7 grados en esa zona", dijo Víctor Huérfano, de la Red Sísmica de Puerto Rico, a Prensa Asociada. La agencia de noticias EFE reportó que el temblor provocó que numerosos conductores pararan sus vehículos ante el temor de perder el control.
Además, el sitio en la red del periódico El Nuevo Día reportó que vecinos de los municipios puertorriqueños de Guaynabo, Mayagüez, Hatillo, Guayama, San Juan, Caguas, Carolina, Ponce y Cidra indicaron que a las 3:00 de la tarde, hora local (19:00 UTC), sintieron que el suelo y las paredes del lugar donde se encontraban se estremecieron y que el edificio de la facultad de Pedagogía de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en el distrito de Río Piedras en San Juan fue desalojado.
El sismo además causó réplicas en algunos estado septentrionales de Brasil. Las réplicas fueron sentidas principalmente en los estados brasileños de Roraima, Amazonas y Pará. En la ciudad de Manaos, habitantes reportaron que los temblores causaron mareos a los residentes de pisos altos, mientras que en Pacaraima se registraron algunas grietas causadas por las fuertes réplicas.
También se reportó que se sintieron temblores en lugares tan lejos como Venezuela, en donde varios edificios en Caracas fueron evacuados, y hasta Colombia, según la agencia noticiosa Reuters. Tampoco estos países reportaron daños.
