NEW YORK. An einem Strand von Long Island vor New York sind drei Leichen entdeckt worden, womit seit Dezember auf der Insel insgesamt schon acht Tote gefunden wurden.
Die Insel Long Island ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel der New Yorker östlich der Metropole. Im Dezember suchte die Polizei nach der vermissten Prostituierten Shannan Gilbert und stieß dabei am Oak Beach und dem anschließenden Gilgo Beach auf vier Leichen. Keine von ihnen war Shannan, aber alle vier konnten inzwischen identifiziert werden. Es handelt sich bei allen um junge Frauen, die als Prostituierte gearbeitet haben. Sie hatten ihre Dienste in dem InternetPortal Craigslist angeboten.
In der letzten Woche wurde ein fünftes Opfer entdeckt. Und gestern gab die Polizei bekannt, dass drei weitere Leichen an den Stränden auf Long Island gefunden wurden. Die US-Medien gehen nun davon aus, dass ein Serienkiller in New York sein Unwesen treibt.
Sollte Shannan nicht unter den zuletzt gefundenen Opfern sein, hätte er vermutlich mindestens neun Menschen auf seinem Gewissen. Eines der Opfer war vor mindestens zwei Jahren getötet worden. Die Polizei will auch heute mit Leichenspürhunden die Strände von Long Island absuchen, um sicherzugehen, dass dort nicht noch mehr Leichen versteckt sind.

Bereits im Dezember 2010 fand die Polizei von New York vier Frauenleichen am Oak Beach und dem anschließenden Gilgo Beach auf Long Island. Die jungen Frauen hatten als Prostituierte gearbeitet und ihre Dienste im Internetportal „Portal Craigslist“ angeboten. Eine weitere Tote fand die Polizei letzte Woche und gab den Fund von drei weiteren Leichen bekannt.
Gesucht wurde nach der vermissten Prostituierten Shannan Gilbert, sollte sie nicht unter den aufgefundenen Frauenleichen sein, dann geht ein weiterer Frauenmord auf das Konto des Serienmörders. Die vier zuletzt aufgefundenen Frauen sind noch nicht identifiziert. Die Polizei sucht an den Stränden von Long Island nach weiteren Toten. Leichenspürhunde sind eingesetzt.
Die Leichen waren in Sackleinen eingewickelt und in der Nähe von Durchgangswegen abgelegt.
Ende 2010 waren Vorwürfe gegen das Internetportal Craiglist laut geworden. Organisationen, die sich gegen Menschenhandel und Zwangsprostitution einsetzen, hatten die erotischen Angebote kritisiert. Diese wurden nach einer öffentlichkeitswirksamen Diskussion, in der es um die freie Meinungsäußerung ging, aus dem Angebot genommen.
Long Island ist eine Insel, die zum Bundesstaat New York gehört. Sie ist etwa so groß wie Mallorca. Die Insel ist der Wohnort vieler Künstler. An der Nordküste haben sich Millionäre aus New York City Landsitze gebaut, sie wird seit 1910 auch „Gold Coast“ genannt.
Das U.S. Department of Justice - Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) definiert „Serienmord“: Der Täter begeht mindestens drei Morde, an verschiedenen Orten und zu verschiedenen Zeiten, die Taten laufen unabhängig voneinander ab .

River se dio el gran gusto. Empezó sufriendo por la pronta posibilidad de comenzar debajo en el marcador, sin embargo se repuso con una gran acción colectiva que terminó en el único gol de la noche para ponerle punto final a esa racha negativa de once superclásicos coperos sin conocer el sabor de la victoria. Esta noche el Millonario eliminó a Boca de la Sudamericana y el próximo miércoles buscará el trofeo en el primero de los duelos ante Atlético Nacional de Medellín.
La serie podía empezar a definirse a los 20 segundos del partido a favor del Xeneize, cuando tras la acción inicial Ariel Rojas sin querer pateó a Meli dentro del área, infracción bien cobrada por Delfino: penal atajado por Barovero a Gigliotti. El que volvió a sacudir la modorra fue el elenco del Arruabarrena a través de una acción de Carrizo, que encaró de izquierda al centro y probó de media distancia, permitiendo el lucimiento de Barovero en dos oportunidades, ante el primer tiro y también en el rebote, a definición de Puma Gigliotti.
En el juego de los merecimientos era más el cuadro de la Ribera, sin embargo quien abrió las acciones fue el Millonario. Un foul no cobrado en tres cuartos de cancha le dio inicio al ataque riverplatense que terminó con un buscapié -de casualidad- en el pie izquierdo de Pisculichi, quien definió con maestría al rincón más alejado del arco, con una precisión clínica, para al menos por el momento, meter a River en la la última parada de la Sudamericana.
A la media hora de juego pudo haberlo empatado la visita, cuando a la salida de un tiro libre de Colazo, el rebote le quedó al nueve de Boca que definió al gol, pero el árbitro anuló por un offside inexistente. Después lo tuvo nuevamente River, con un cabezazo de Teo a las manos de Orión. Fue la única oportunidad de ampliar la ventaja antes del cierre de la primera mitad. Aunque minutos más tarde lo tuvo otra vez Boca. Otra vez Gigliotti, y otra vez no fue gol: el ex Colón sacó provecho de un mal despeje de Funes Mori, dándole la posibilidad de igualar la chapa si su frentazo hubiera inflado la red.
El complemento comenzó tan intenso como finalizó la etapa inicial, con los de la Ribera parados algunos metros más adelante dispuestos a encontrar la igualdad cuanto antes, aunque no por ello se desesperaron: sabían que convirtiendo apenas un tanto pasarían. No apareció el fútbol, solo se hicieron presentes las patadas; en gran medida porque Germán Delfino priorizó dejar jugar en lugar de expulsar a algún futbolista para frenar los ánimos.
De ese cruce de piernas el vencedor fue el anfitrión, pecando de vertical. Cuando el partido le exigía frenar la pelota para calmar los ánimos, se prestó al palo por palo siendo esta tal vez la manera que menos le convenía para disputarlo. Permitió que la semifinal se definiera por coraje, y el Vasco Arruabarrena entendiendo el mensaje decidió mandar a la cancha a Chávez por Fuenzalida (había ingresado a los 42 del primer tiempo). En ese golpe por golpe las más claras los tuvieron los de la banda. Teo Gutiérrez y Carlos Sánchez principalmente, aunque del otro lado Boca también generó una serie de aproximaciones que no terminaron en el empate por el nerviosismo de sus delanteros. Pese a que no le salió ni el tiro del final para asegurar la clasificación, River aguantó con entereza los últimos embates de un desprolijo Xeneize, que buscó con pena la igualdad que le permitiera eliminar a su clásico rival.

Em um jogo emocionante no primeiro semestre, com um pênalti abordado dentro de quinze segundos de começar o encontro, um gol mal anulado por impedimento gol e só convertido antes dos primeiros 20 minutos, River Plate se classificou para a final do Copa Sul-Americana com o arqui-rival Boca Juniors. O encontro foi organizado equipe milionário em seu estádio, o Monumental de Nuñez.
Ele começou a partida e Boca saiu determinado a atacar, Meli entrou na área e foi levado para baixo de um desafio por Rojas, penalidade, depois de 15 segundos de jogo. Gigliotti foi encarregado de chutar, mas a bola acaba nas mãos para salvar do Barovero eficaz e Boca viu sua chance de começar a ganhar gol e desperdiçou.
Esta falha ação parece estar psicologicamente afetado Boca que deixou ultrapassar o seu rival e permitiu a ser colocado em liderança depois de 15 minutos com uma jogada Vangioni, que poderia ser um centro de tiro com arco acabou sendo apreendido Pisculichi para definir como precisas. Objetivo primeiro e único.
Continuação da reunião e Xeneixes ficar sem Gago se lesiona e é depois de um lance livre Colazo um gol de rebote anulado por uma posição a frente Gigliotti não era. Rio teve outra chance com uma cabeçada Teo terminou nas mãos de Orion. E no final da primeira etapa novamente uma ação falhou impede tie Gigliotti Boca, maus chefes uma bola atrás de um mau alívio de Funes Mori.
A segunda tentativa tempo para ser tão intensa quanto seu antecessor, mas execuções violentas, especialmente os pontapés, prevaleceu. Enquanto Boca tentativa de amarrar, não conseguiu chegar à área com profundidade e Rio conseguiu manter a diferença mínima que permite que um finalista do torneio.

¡Inolvidable! Dedicado a los más duros y a los de lágrima fácil. El triunfo de River ya está en un póster. Quedará durante años y años en la pared. Alguien se habrá levantado muy temprano, tal vez ni haya pegado un ojo, para colgarlo antes del amanecer. Haber llegado a una final en un torneo internacional es un hito para cualquiera. Cómo calificarlo, entonces, si fue justo después de haber eliminado al rival de siempre. Contra aquel equipo con el que no quedan permitidas ni las derrotas en un videojuego. Nunca. La imagen que revolotea es la de haber ganado una final antes de la final. Nítida. Elocuente. Loca. Ya habrá tiempo para pensar en Atlético Nacional, el rival del miércoles próximo en Medellín. Hoy, la fiesta sigue.
River entendió cómo jugar un partido crucial. Boca, con la ciclotimia de siempre, no. Los millonarios resurgieron desde el sufrimiento, desde aquellos días en el ascenso, hasta la gloria de hoy. De las manos de Barovero al corazón de Ponzio, justo él, que había estado un buen tiempo relegado. De ellos, en buena parte, es esta satisfacción. Ni qué hablar del Muñeco Gallardo, en uno de sus momentos más difíciles. Igual supo inculcarles el mensaje a sus dirigidos, que fueron todos para uno. Lo ganaron con el fútbol que no tuvieron en la Bombonera. Boca lo perdió en medio de la confusión y de la impotencia, como la de Cata Díaz, desbordado y expulsado en el final.

Esta vez no defraudaron. Hubo electricidad. Boca tuvo un penal... ¡a los 17 segundos! Fue de esas situaciones que rompen los pizarrones. Rojas no vio a Meli y lo bajó con un patadón. Gigliotti besó la pelota, pero no hubo caso: la mano derecha de Barovero fue como una manopla. Igual, que el cara a cara que salvó ante el mismo Gigliotti. El factor psicológico puso a River en el campo contrario. Vangioni, por la izquierda, intentó algo. No se sabe bien si fue un pase, un centro fallido o un tiro al arco, pero Pisculichi, de zurda y de primera, puso la pelota en una esquina, bien lejos de Orion. Apenas iban 16 minutos. Las emociones cambiaron de dueño como si nada.
La serie había quedado en veremos con el empate sin goles en La Boca. Nadie quiso aventurarse sobre a quién había beneficiado la igualdad ni quién cargaría con la gran responsabilidad. En realidad, cuando millonarios y xeneizes están frente a frente, las obligaciones se reparten en mitades. Lucharon cuando no pudieron jugar. Jugaron cuando se olvidaron del contexto. Anduvieron briosos. Corrieron, se cayeron -o los tiraron- y se levantaron. La lesión de Gago fue otro contratiempo para Boca. El capitán abandonó antes de tiempo. Llegó con alguna molestia y un roce terminó condicionándolo. Eso sin contar la controversia por el gol anulado a Gigliotti.
Aquel miedo a perder pareció haber quedado en el olvido. No les quedó otra. River fue más profundo entre tantas idas y venidas. La desesperación creció poco a poco en Boca, que dejó huecos. No le quedó más alternativa que correr los riesgos de un equipo que caía en la desgracia deportiva.
Ya no es tiempo de hablar de los árbitros ni de la rispidez ni de lo que pudo haber sido. Hoy es la sonrisa de River. Hoy queda la desazón de Boca. En ellos se arquean los gestos de una máscara teatral. En ellos quedará encontrar un compinche para las risotadas y un piadoso para el consuelo..

Marine Le Pen entendait prononcer un discours « tonique » et « musclé » sur l’immigration et le terrorisme, selon les termes de son entourage. Mais la présidente du Front national a dû composer avec plusieurs incidents qui ont fait passer son propos au second plan, à l’occasion du défilé annuel du parti d'extrême droite en mémoire de Jeanne d’Arc, vendredi 1er mai, à Paris.
Alors qu’elle entamait son discours, place de l’Opéra, la députée européenne a été interrompue par trois militantes du mouvement féministe Femen, qui ont déroulé du balcon d’un hôtel des banderoles mêlant le logo du FN au drapeau nazi.
Huée par la foule – entre 3 500 et 3 800 sympathisants, selon la police –, l’intervention a créé un moment de flottement. Au bout de quelques minutes, les services de sécurité du FN sont intervenus avec violence pour déloger les militantes, qui ont ensuite été prises en charge par les forces de l’ordre. S'étonnant que les membres du service aient pu entrer si facilement dans l'hôtel, l'avocat des Femen a annoncé une plainte contre X pour « violences, violation de domicile et arrestation arbitraire ».
Marine Le Pen a annoncé en fin d'après-midi « avoir donné pour instruction à son avocat de déposer plainte » contre les Femen pour « violences volontaires » et « atteinte à la liberté de manifester ».
Des « provocateurs de Canal+ » aggressés
D’autres membres du groupe avaient perturbé un peu plus tôt le dépôt de gerbe au pied de la statue de Jeanne d’Arc, place des Pyramides. Au total, sept personnes, dont trois chargées de la sécurité du FN, ont été interpellées.
En début d'après-midi, Canal+ a indiqué qu'une équipe de trois journalistes de la chaîne avait été agressée par des militants frontistes, avant d'être exfiltrée par le service d'ordre du parti. La chaîne diffusera des images de l'agression le 3 mai. La chaîne BFM a diffusé une vidéo montrant Bruno Gollnisch s'en prenant à un des journalistes. L'eurodéputé s'est ensuite félicité d'avoir fait fuir « les provocateurs de Canal+ » qui « pratiquent le micro-perche espion ».
L'imprévu Jean-Marie Le Pen
Jean-Marie Le Pen, en conflit ouvert avec sa fille depuis un mois, n’a pas manqué de faire valoir sa singularité. Au moment de se recueillir au pied de la statue et après que Marine Le Pen eut fait de même, M. Le Pen s’est écrié, dans un élan quasi théâtral : « Jeanne, au secours ! »
Il a ensuite rejoint en voiture la tribune érigée en face de l’Opéra Garnier, et s’est invité sur scène, juste avant que sa fille ne commence son discours. Il s’est offert, l’espace de quelques secondes, bras ouverts, les acclamations de la foule, avant d'en descendre. « Il a voulu saluer les militants, au dernier moment », explique un de ses proches.
Plusieurs cadres du FN assurent que cette apparition n’était a priori pas prévue au programme. Le cofondateur du mouvement – toujours en convalescence, selon son entourage, après son hospitalisation il y a deux semaines pour un problème cardiaque – n’est pas resté pour écouter le discours de sa fille, avec laquelle il n’a pas échangé un regard.
« Expulser tout étranger qui exprime des sympathies pour l’EI »
Sans doute perturbée par la tournure des événements, la présidente du Front national a repris le fil de son discours. « Nous subissons menaces et ordres de cette eurodictature soutenue servilement par les télégraphistes de droite et de gauche », a-t-elle lancé, avant de dénoncer la « grenade de l’islamisme » qu’aurait dégoupillée l’intervention militaire de la France en Libye, en 2011.
« Nous devons déchoir de la nationalité tout binational parti vers l’Etat islamique, juger pour crimes ceux qui en reviennent (...), expulser tout étranger qui exprime des sympathies pour l’Etat islamique. »
Répétant ses propos tenus en 2012 à la suite des tueries perpétrées par Mohamed Merah – « J’avais demandé combien de Merah y a-t-il dans les bateaux, les avions, qui chaque jour arrivent en France remplis d'immigrés ? » – la présidente du FN a appelé à « arrêter l’immigration ».
Pour « musclé » qu’il ait été, ce discours ne cache pas le fait que les regards sont d’ores et déjà tournés vers le 4 mai, jour de la réunion du bureau exécutif du FN, qui doit décider d’éventuelles sanctions contre Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Ce dernier n’a pas encore fait savoir s’il comptait répondre positivement à la convocation qui lui a été envoyée. L’entretien qu’il avait accordé à Rivarol le 9 avril, dans lequel il prenait notamment la défense du maréchal Pétain, et qui a déclenché le conflit avec sa fille, était en tout cas distribué gratuitement dans la foule des militants.

Il faut se rappeler que le contexte politique et familial est compliqué au sein du parti lorsque la député européenne monte sur la scène de la : cela fait plusieurs semaines qu'elle est en conflit avec son père, ''accusé'' de ternir les efforts de dédiabolisation entrepris par la direction du parti.
;Intervention des Femen
Alors que Marine Le Pen commence son discours devant à militants (chiffres de la police), trois activistes du mouvement apparaissent au balcon de l'hôtel adjacent, seins nus, et déploient des banderoles mêlant le logo du parti au drapeau nazi à l'inscription . La présidente du parti a dû interrompre son discours pendant plusieurs minutes.
Après quelques minutes, les militantes féministes ont été évacuées du balcon sans ménagement par le service d'ordre du FN, qui s'y était rendu de manière illicite selon les Femen. Il semble qu'un employé de l'hôtel les auraient pris pour des policiers en civil et leur aurait donné accès à la chambre louée par les Femen. Les Femen, les membres du service d'ordre et l'employé de l'hôtel auraient été interpellés par la police, selon les informations de France 2.
;L'apparition de Jean-Marie Le Pen
En conflit avec sa fille après les déclarations qu'il a tenu le mois dernier, le fondateur du parti n'était pas invité sur scène cette année. Lorsqu'il a déposé une gerbe au pied de la statue de Jeanne d'Arc, il en a profité pour lui lancer un appel :
Puis il a rejoint la tribune installée face à l' et s'est invité de manière impromptue sur scène. Il a salué la foule en levant les poings sous les acclamations d'une partie de l'assistance. Sans un regard pour sa fille, il a quitté la tribune alors qu'elle commençait son discours.
;Agressions de journalistes
La chaîne Canal + indique cet après-midi qu'une de ses équipes a été prise à partie par des militants, avant de se faire évacuer par le service d'ordre. La chaîne BFM TV a diffusé des images sur lesquelles on voit le député européen attraper la perche du preneur de son à l'aide d'un parapluie. Il explique avoir détruit le de l'émission ''Le Petit journal''. La chaîne dénonce également les coups que ses journalistes auraient reçus au dos et à la nuque.
Ce soir, la chaîne publique France 5 annonce qu'une équipe de l'émission ''C'est à vous'' a également été agressée et qu'une caméra a été détruite.
;Faible affluence
Un journaliste de l' note que l'affluence était moindre que l'année dernière. La baisse serait de 30 % selon les chiffre de la police (entre et personnes cette année, en 2014) et 80 % selon les chiffres du FN ( personnes cette année, en 2014). Ce constat est partagé par plusieurs journalistes et militants sur place.

Muhammad was pronounced dead at 2111EST The man behind the 2002 sniper attacks in and around Washington DC has been executed after a final appeal was thrown out. John Allen Muhammad's lawyers say he was mentally ill, but Virginia Governor Tim Kaine rejected a plea for clemency. On Monday, the US Supreme Court quashed an appeal for a stay of execution. Muhammad, 48, was injected with a lethal drug for the murder of Dean Harold Meyers, one of 10 people killed during the attacks. Muhammad's accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, is serving a life sentence in jail. The pair killed 10 people during three weeks of attacks in Maryland, Washington and Virginia. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Muhammad was put to death at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Virginia. The procedure took five minutes, and Muhammad died at 2111 (0211 GMT), Larry Traylor of the Virginia Department of Corrections said. Muhammad did not speak before it began, and seemed quiet and relaxed, Mr Traylor said. "Mr Muhammad was asked if he wished to make a last statement. He did not acknowledge us or make any statement whatsoever," he said. He had, Mr Traylor added, been motionless, with his head slightly tilted to the right as the drug was injected. His lawyer said he had eaten chicken in red sauce, followed by strawberry cakes, for his final meal. Before the execution J Wyndal Gordon, the state attorney appointed to represent Muhammad, said that he would die "with his head held high and no remorse, maintaining his innocence". He was, said his lawyer, "a martyr for everything that's wrong with the death penalty". After the execution, he extended condolences to the victims' loved ones, but also to Muhammad's relatives. "It's just a tragic situation all around." Muhammad's legal team says the ex-soldier suffered from Gulf War Syndrome.
Timeline: Washington sniper killings Time runs out for Muhammad Sniper motive remains a mystery Lawyer Jonathan Sheldon told the BBC's World Today: "A psychiatrist examined him and said he's paranoid and psychotic and delusional and gave many examples." Mr Sheldon also said brain scans of Muhammad had revealed malformations linked to schizophrenia. The shootings left the Washington area gripped by fear, with victims attacked while shopping, outside schools, or just sitting and reading. Mr Meyers was shot at a petrol station in Manassas, Virginia. A skilled marksman, Muhammad picked off his targets using a sniper rifle, always with a single round and from a distance.

John Allen Muhammad, the Washington, D.C. sniper spree killer, has been executed in Virginia. Muhammad was convicted for one of ten murders occurring between Oct. 9 and 22, 2002 in and around Washington, DC. Dean Harold Meyers was shot on the Oct. 9 by Muhammad. Lawyers for Muhammad appealed for a not plea on the reasons of him being mentality ill but the appeal was rejected. Muhammad was 48 at the time of execution.
He was executed at 02:11 GMT and the execution took 5 minutes. According to Larry Traylor of the Department of Corrections Muhammad remained quiet before and during the execution. His last meal was chicken in red sauce and strawberry cakes.
Both his lawyers and the state attorney appointed to represent Muhammad pleaded for the death penalty to be dropped. They reported that Muhammad was suffering from Gulf War syndrome.
Muhammad and his accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo killed ten people in Washington D.C and Virginia. The pair had also been accused of murders in the states of Alabama, Louisiana and Arizona. Malvo is currently serving life imprisonment. Muhammad's execution was watched by several members of the victims' families.

The two leftist presidents appeared to exchange jokes
Video of Castro
Lying in bed, the Cuban president smiles and shakes hands with Mr Chavez, a close ally, as they celebrate his 80th birthday.
The state newspaper Granma earlier published still photos of the meeting.
Their authenticity had been questioned by White House spokesman Tony Snow and Cuban exile leaders in Miami.
Fidel Castro underwent intestinal surgery two weeks ago.
His brother, 75, has temporarily taken over his presidential duties.
'Emotional exchange'
Granma called the bedside visit "Three Hours of Emotional Exchange".
Gifts were exchanged during Hugo Chavez's visit
The photos show gifts being exchanged and the two leaders eating what Granma called a "frugal snack".
The accompanying story quoted Mr Chavez - one of Mr Castro's closest political allies - as saying: "This is the best visit I've ever had in my life."
He is reported to have expressed admiration for the Cuban leader's stamina, saying: "What kind of human being is this? What material is it made of?"
The Venezuelan leader is quoted as saying that Mr Castro is made of caguairan - likening Cuba's revolutionary leader to a sturdy tropical hardwood tree.
Earlier Raul Castro made his first public appearance since taking over, welcoming Mr Chavez to Havana.
Official celebrations to mark Fidel Castro's 80th birthday on Sunday were cancelled but a giant concert was held in the Cuban capital, Havana, on Saturday.
Cubans warned
On Sunday, Mr Castro also released a statement, saying his health had improved considerably but warning that his recovery would not be quick.
"I ask you all to be optimistic and at the same time to be ready to face any adverse news," the statement said.
He thanked Cubans for their loving support and said he "felt very happy" on his birthday.
Immediately after surgery, Mr Castro asked for his birthday celebrations to be postponed.
But hundreds of people attended a huge concert on Saturday, held outside the US Interests Section in Havana and lasting all night.
Mr Castro became Cuban president 47 years ago after leading the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.
He is one of the world's longest-ruling leaders, and has outlasted nine US presidents.

Hugo Chavez (left) greets a recuperating Fidel Castro on the Cuban leader's birthday, yesterday.
An additional round of new photos of a recuperating Fidel Castro have been published in the Cuban media. There has been international speculation on the state of the Cuban leader's health since he temporarily relinquished power two weeks ago prior to undergoing intestinal surgery. Castro had not been seen in those two weeks, and there were rumours that he was dead or nearing death.

The official Communist Party daily '''' today published pictures of Castro meeting Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez on the Cuban leader's 80th birthday, yesterday. The paper referred to the meeting as "three hours of emotional exchange" quoting Chavez as saying "This is the best visit I've ever had in my life." Earlier, acting Cuban leader Raul Castro made his first public appearance since taking power when he welcomed Chavez to Cuba at the airport. The brothers also appear together in one of the new photos.
The earlier round of pictures released Sunday by the ''Juventud Rebelde'' (Rebel Youth) newspaper show Castro speaking on the phone and holding Saturday's edition of the Communist Party newspaper ''Granma''.
Castro also released a statement yesterday saying that his health had improved but that his recovery would take more time.
"To say that objective stability has improved considerably is not to invent a lie. To affirm that the period of recovery will last a short time and that there is no longer any risk would be absolutely incorrect."
Picture of Fidel Castro holding a copy of August 12th ''Granma'' newspaper was published yesterday in ''Jueventud Rebelde''.
"I ask you all to be optimistic and at the same time to be ready to face any adverse news," said Castro, who also thanked the Cuban people for their love and support during his health crisis. The statement was the first from the Cuban leader since undergoing surgery.
''Granma'' reported Saturday that Castro is now "up" and "working". The official newspaper reported that according to an unnamed friend of Castro "the leader of the revolution, after receiving some physiotherapy, took his first steps in the room, then, sitting on a coach, talked vividly".
Though most official celebrations of Castro's birthday have been postponed (possibly until December), three thousand well-wishers have gathered for a five-hour birthday concert on Havana's Malecon seafront boulevard.

Text of Fidel Castro's message
Here is the text of a message from Fidel Castro published Aug. 13, in the Cuban newspaper Rebel Youth, as translated by The Miami Herald.
Dear compatriots and friends in Cuba and the rest of the world:
Today, the 13th, I have arrived at the age of 80.
To say that objective stability has improved considerably is not to invent a lie. To affirm that the period of recovery will last a short time and that there is no longer any risk would be absolutely incorrect.
I suggest to all of you to be optimistic, and at the same time to be always ready to confront any adverse news.
To the people of Cuba, [my] infinite gratitude for your loving support. The country goes on and will continue to go on perfectly well.
To my comrades in the struggle, eternal glory for resisting and defeating the empire, demonstrating that a better world is possible.
Today, Aug. 13, I feel very happy.
To all who wished me good health, I promise that I shall fight for it.

The paper also carried an 80th birthday message attributed to Mr Castro, saying he was recovering but warning Cubans to be ready for "adverse news".
He has not been seen since he handed power temporarily to his brother.
Raul Castro has made his first public appearance since taking over, welcoming Venezuela's president to Havana.
Official birthday celebrations were cancelled but the Cuban capital held a giant concert on Saturday.
The pictures released by the Juventud Rebelde newspaper show Mr Castro speaking on the phone and holding Saturday's edition of the Communist Party newspaper Granma, in an apparent move to show the pictures are current.
Speculation
In his statement, Mr Castro said his health had improved considerably but cautioned that his recovery would not be quick.
"I ask you all to be optimistic and at the same time to be ready to face any adverse news," the statement said.
Havana's party to honour Fidel Castro lasted all night
He thanked Cubans for their loving support and said that on the day of his birthday, 13 August, he "felt very happy".
The photographs in Juventud Rebelde came a day after Granma carried the most detailed account to date of Mr Castro's health since he underwent surgery on 31 July.
In a report of a visit to the Cuban president's bedside, the paper suggested Mr Castro was "firm like a caguairan" - likening Cuba's revolutionary leader to a sturdy tropical hardwood tree.
Recounting the observations of an unidentified visitor, Mr Castro was said to be "up and about, like someone anticipating new victories".
Neither Mr Castro nor his brother, Raul, have been seen in public for the past fortnight, fuelling speculation both in Cuba and in Florida, home to many Cuban exiles, about who is in charge.
The BBC's Stephen Gibbs in Havana says Sunday's pictures are clearly aimed at conveying a message of continuity to the Cuban people.
Presents
Immediately after surgery, Mr Castro asked for his birthday celebrations to be postponed.
But hundreds attended a huge concert on Saturday, held outside the US Interests Section in Havana and lasting all night.
President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, a staunch ally, arrived in Cuba on Sunday where he was saluted and hugged by Raul Castro at the airport.
State TV showed the encounter but neither man commented for the cameras.
Mr Chavez had said earlier he would bring as gifts a dagger and a cup once carried by the 19th Century Latin American independence fighter Simon Bolivar:
"I'm taking him a good present, a good cake, and there we will celebrate the 80 years of that great figure of our America."
Fidel Castro became Cuban president 47 years ago after leading the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.
He is one of the world's longest-ruling leaders, and has outlasted nine US presidents.

Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who handed temporary power to his brother for the first time in 47 years after surgery to halt internal bleeding, is now 'up' and 'working', according to the state-run newspaper Granma
'The leader of the revolution, after receiving some physiotherapy, took his first steps in the room, then, sitting on a coach, talked vividly,' an anonymous friend of Castro told the paper. 'Our friend saw the Comandante, up and healed, as if anticipating new victories,' Granma reported.
Castro, whose 80th birthday is today, has not been seen in public since 26 July, the anniversary of the revolution that swept him to power. Despite his pleas to postpone his birthday celebrations until the end of the year, Cubans had scheduled a concert in honour of their leader.
Meanwhile, the US government claimed that the celebrations on the island did not represent the wishes of the majority of Cubans.

CZYTAJ RELACJĘ INTERNAUTY NA PORTALU KONTAKT24.
Do zdarzenia doszło ok. godz. 11.15 w Al. Ujazdowskich od strony Ogrodu Botanicznego.
Jak powiedział PAP rzecznik komendanta stołecznego policji asp. Mariusz Mrozek, na razie nie są znane powody podpalenia.
- Z ustaleń policji wynika, że 56-letni mężczyzna oblał się łatwopalnym płynem i prawdopodobnie podpalił - powiedział Mrozek.
Jak relacjonowali w rozmowie z TVN24 świadkowie - związkowcy, którzy akurat pikietowali przed kancelarią - mężczyzna usiadł na ławce, wyjął z torby butelkę i oblał się łatwopalną cieczą, a następnie podpalił.
Zdjęcia z zajścia przed kancelarią premiera przesłał na Kontakt24 internauta:

"Myślałem, że polewa się wodą"
- Stan... mocno poparzony, głowa cała, ręce poparzone - podawał w TVN24 jeden ze świadków. - Nie miał nic, żadnego transparentu. Nic nie mówił, nie krzyczał, po prostu się przysiadł. Wcześniej chodził po drugiej stronie ulicy - opisywał jeden ze związkowców. - Tyle szczęścia, że są wzmożone patrole, bo ma być jakaś wizyta międzynarodowa. W ciągu paru sekund pojawiła się policja i pomogła nam ugasić - dodał.
- Siedział kilka minut, mówił o sytuacji w kraju, ale spokojnie - poinformował inny świadek. - Ja rozdawałem ulotki tu obok, patrzyłem na niego i myślałem, że polewa się wodą. Przechodziła dziewczyna, też chyba tak myślała, spojrzeliśmy na siebie, a on się podpalił...
Mężczyzna podpalił się pod KPRM TVN 24
"Poparzone 60 proc. ciała"
56-latek w południe trafił do szpitala wojskowego przy ul. Szaserów - podała PAP.
Rzecznik placówki ppłk dr Grzegorz Kade w przesłanym PAP komunikacie poinformował, że początkowo był przyjęty na szpitalny oddział ratunkowy, a następnie, ze względu na charakter obrażeń, przeniesiono go na oddział kliniczny chirurgii plastycznej, rekonstrukcyjnej i leczenia oparzeń. Został wprowadzony w stan śpiączki farmakologicznej.
Szpital za pośrednictwem policji próbował skontaktować się z rodziną mężczyzny, jednak bezskutecznie.
Pragnące zachować anonimowość źródło w stołecznej policji powiedziało PAP, że mężczyzna pochodzi z województwa świętokrzyskiego i nie był wcześniej znany policji. Według źródła pacjent ma poparzone ponad 60 proc. powierzchni ciała, w tym poparzenia trzeciego stopnia.

On to zrobił, bo był załamany i zrozpaczony naszą sytuacją. Nie mamy z czego żyć – mówiła Wiesława Filipiak.

El presidente visita Guerrero por primera vez desde la desaparición de 43 estudiantes de Ayotzinapa, ocurrida a finales de septiembre
Jueves, 04 de diciembre de 2014 a las 13:54
El pasado 1 de diciembre, Peña Nieto cumplió dos años en el cargo, con bajos niveles de popularidad en algunas encuestas (Cuartoscuro/Archivo).
CIUDAD DE MÉXICO (CNNMéxico) — A más de dos meses de la desaparición de 43 estudiantes de Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto visita la entidad este jueves para presentar un nuevo plan para su desarrollo.
En Vivo: Sigue la transmisión
Se prevé que este plan incluya medidas en seguridad y desarrollo económico. Será dado a conocer en un acto al que acuden el gobernador interino, Rogelio Ortega, y miembros del gabinete presidencial.
Peña Nieto se presenta en el Centro de Convenciones Foro Mundo Imperial de Acapulco, resguardado por policías federales a bordo de patrullas y de militares con al menos dos tanquetas.
La vigilancia de los soldados abarca alrededor de un kilómetro de la zona de Acapulco Diamante, donde se ubica el inmueble.
Se trata de la primera visita del mandatario mexicano a Guerrero desde la desaparición de 43 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa, ocurrida el pasado 26 de septiembre.
La noche de ese día, policías municipales de Iguala atacaron a los jóvenes y, con apoyo de agentes de Cocula, presuntamente los entregaron a un grupo delictivo que las autoridades creen los asesinó e incineró.
Peña Nieto ha tachado el crimen como un acto de "barbarie" y ha prometido que los responsables serán castigados.
Laura Reyes contribuyó desde Acapulco con este reporte.

Presenta el Presidente la Estrategia emergente para la reactivación económica de Guerrero
Llama Peña Nieto en Coyuca a superar el dolor por el caso Iguala
Se compromete a garantizar el libre tránsito por la autopista del Sol y anuncia incentivos fiscales
âSon más, muchos más, los que quieren paz, tranquilidad y orden en su estadoâ, sostiene
HÃCTOR BRISEÃO
El presidente Enrique Peña Nieto llamó a âque finalmente superemos esta etapa de dolorâ provocada por la desaparición de los 43 normalistas de Ayotzinapa y âdemos un paso hacia adelante y estemos dispuestos a construir un mejor entornoâ.
Durante su gira por Guerrero, el mandatario federal se refirió en dos momentos al caso Ayotzinapa, primero en Coyuca de BenÃtez, donde inauguró la construcción del puente que une a esa población con la Costa Grande, y luego en Acapulco al reunirse con empresarios.
En Coyuca, dijo que sin duda el caso Ayotzinapa âva a generar un hito, va a marcar un momento y va a permitir la construcción de mejores institucionesâ.
Consideró que es un hecho que debe provocar una transformación, una investigación, pero âal mismo tiempo debe convocarnos para que sea el desarrollo lo que nos permita propiciar paz y armonÃa en la sociedad, y eso depende de todos y de todas: de la sociedad y del gobiernoâ.
âDesde aquà convoco a la sociedad guerrerense, la sociedad que ha sido la primera, la de Guerrero, que ha sentido y quien ha expresado solidaridad, y quien ha quedado consternada al igual que el resto del paÃs. Los quiero convocar para que con su capacidad, con su compromiso con el estado, con su comunidad, con sus propias familias, hagamos realmente un esfuerzo colectivo para que vayamos hacia adelante y podamos realmente superar este momento de dolorâ, pidió.
En Acapulco, el mandatario admitió la infiltración y el anidamiento del crimen organizado en instituciones de Guerrero, al mismo tiempo que dio a conocer la Estrategia emergente para la reactivación económica del estado, basada en el impulso de la industria turÃstica y el envÃo de fuerzas de seguridad.

Peña Nieto se comprometió a garantizar el libre tránsito por la autopista del Sol durante la temporada decembrina, y anunció que adicional al 50 por ciento de descuento por el peaje, se descontará otro 50 por ciento al costo de la caseta.
En el caso de Guerrero, indicó que âla actividad turÃstica ha tenido desaceleración e inactividad, esto preocupa, la pérdida de empleos y el cierre de negocios, la ocupación a la baja, esta no puede ser la rutaâ.
Dio a conocer un programa de apoyo a contribuyentes de Acapulco, Chilpancingo, Iguala, Taxco y Zihuatanejo para que cuenten con mayor liquidez, y ciudadanos y empresarios puedan cumplir con impuestos y seguridad social de forma diferida, en lo que se refiere a pagos exigibles noviembre, diciembre, enero, febrero, y marzo de 2015, condonación de multas y recargos de Infonavit, apoyo a pequeñas empresas en riesgos de crisis.

Entre otras acciones, Peña Nieto anunció la puesta en marcha de un programa de empleo temporal, un programa de pavimentaciones e infraestructura municipal, y un programa especial de turismo para incentivar el flujo de viajeros durante la temporada decembrina.
Recalcó que âson más muchos más los que quieren paz, tranquilidad y orden en su estado. Son muchos más los que están en favor de las instituciones democráticas que funcionen en brindar seguridad, desarrollo y oportunidadâ.
El Ejecutivo federal subrayó además que su gobierno ha establecido dos rutas para evitar que ocurra otro caso como el de Iguala, donde el 26 y 27 de septiembre murieron seis personas y 43 fueron desaparecidas, luego de que policÃas municipales atacaran a estudiantes de Ayotzinapa y a civiles.
Peña Nieto precisó que una lÃnea de acción es el esclarecimiento de los hechos, y señaló que más de 70 personas han sido detenidas. Agregó que âotra ruta es el crecimiento y desarrollo de Guerrero. Para asegurar la paz es fundamental asegurar el desarrollo en todo el paÃs. No tener dos Méxicoâ.

Vorerst in einer Oberschule - "Roma wollen integriert statt isoliert werden"
Bukarest - In der rumänischen Hauptstadt Bukarest soll erstmals an einer Oberschule eine Abteilung mit Unterricht in der Romani-Sprache (Romanes) eingerichtet werden. Dies kündigte laut der Nachrichtenagentur "Mediafax" Premier Mihai Ungureanu am Dienstag an. Derzeit gibt es in Rumänien nur an Grundschulen Unterricht in Romani. Laut Ungureanu sei die Roma-Schule ein Beitrag zu "einer zivilisierten, nach europäischem Muster aufgebauten Gesellschaft". Den Schülern soll täglich mindestens eine warme Mahlzeit angeboten werden, erklärte der Ministerpräsident.
Die Roma-Oberschule geht auf die Bemühungen des Roma-Vertreters im Parlament, Nicolae Paun, sowie des Leiters der Minderheiten-Fraktion, Varujan Pambuccian, zurück. Verteidigungsminister Gabriel Oprea von der Fortschrittspartei (UNPR) stellte das Gebäude, eine ehemalige Kaserne, zur Verfügung.
619.000 Roma in Rumänien
Die Roma-Minderheit setzt sich laut den vorläufigen Ergebnissen der Ende 2011 durchgeführten Volkszählung aus 619.000 Personen, also 3,2 Prozent der Gesamtbevölkerung, zusammen, wobei geschätzt wird, dass zwei Drittel der Roma bei der Befragung ihre Herkunft verschweigen. Einige Nichtregierungsorganisationen schätzen die Anzahl der rumänischen Roma auf 2,5 Millionen.
Marian Vanghelie, der sozialdemokratische (PSD) Bezirksvorsitzende des fünften Bukarester Stadtbezirks, in dem die Schule eingerichtet werden soll, begrüßte die Initiative als "sehr gute Idee" und betonte, dass "diese Oberschule den Roma-Kindern, die derzeit keine Möglichkeit haben, zur Schule zu gehen, sehr helfen wird".
Ablenkung von ungarischsprachiger Fakultät
Laut Madalin Voicu, einem bekannten sozialdemokratischen Politiker mit Roma-Herkunft, dient die Ankündigung des Premiers dazu, von der kontrovers diskutierten Regierungsverordnung zur Gründung einer ungarischsprachigen Fakultät an der Medizinuniversität im zentralrumänischen Targu Mures (UMF) abzulenken.
Gegen den Widerstand von zahlreichen Spezialisten, Studierenden und dem Senat der UMF hatte der Ungarnverband (UDMR) als Koalitionspartner die Gründung der ungarischen UMF-Abteilung durchgesetzt. Laut Voicu wünschen sich die Roma keineswegs "eine Trennung von der Mehrheitsbevölkerung, sondern wollen vielmehr integriert statt isoliert zu werden".
Auch erklärten Vertreter der Nichtregierungsorganisation "Bürgerlich-demokratische Allianz der Roma" (ACDR), dass die Implementierung von Lösungen zu einem besseren Zugang der Roma-Kinder zu Bildungseinrichtungen begrüßenswert sei, dass jedoch der Versuch, ein soziales Problem durch die Einrichtung separater Bildungseinrichtungen "konfus und falsch" sei.
"Statt die Integration zu stimulieren, fördern wir die Distanzierung zwischen ethnischen Gruppen", heißt es in einer Aussendung der ACDR. Zu den Kritikern der Initiative gesellte sich auch Magda Matache, Leiterin der Organisation "Romani Criss", die betonte, dass die Gründung der Oberschule das soziale Problem der Minderheit nicht lösen werde. In assimilierten Roma-Familien werde zudem nicht Romani gesprochen, so Matache. (APA, 14.3.2012)

Roma-Mädchen
Der rumänische Premier Mihai Ungureanu kündigte am Dienstag die Einrichtung einer Abteilung mit Unterricht in der Sprache Romani in einer Oberschule in Bukarest an.
In der Zukunft sollen in dem Gymnasium Kinder der Roma-Minderheit in ihrer Muttersprache unterrichtet werden und so zum Abitur gelangen. Die Initiative der Abgeordneten Varujan Pambuccian (Verband der in Rumänien lebenden Armenier) und Nicolae Paun (Partei der Roma) wird mit dem in der Regierungssitzung gefassten Beschluss umgesetzt. Mit Beginn des neuen Schuljahres im Herbst 2012 ist mit der Einrichtung der Klassen zu rechnen. Scheitern könnte das Vorhaben nur noch an der Finanzierung, 4 bis 5 Millionen Euro dürften die Kosten betragen. Von einigen Roma-Organisationen kam Kritik, die Einrichtung der Schule würde zu einer Zentralisierung des Unterrichts für Roma-Kinder führen.

Armenische Erinnerungen
Rumäniens «Buch des Jahres» gibt Einblick in historische Hintergründe
Die Überraschung der letzten Buchsaison war in Rumänien das literarische Prosadebüt eines Ökonomen, Politikers und gelegentlichen Autors von Lyrik. Das «Buch des Geflüsters» erweckt die Welt seiner eigenen Kindheit in der südlichen Moldau zu dichtem Leben.
Markus Bauer
Für den Verlag Polirom in Iasi – einer der grössten in Rumänien – ist es eine erfreuliche Erfolgsmeldung: Mehr als 10 000 Exemplare hat das Haus im vergangenen Jahr von dem Roman «Cartea soaptelor» (Das Buch des Geflüsters) absetzen können – der Preis von Lei 49.95 (etwas über 13 Franken) ist ein nicht geringes Entgelt bei einem rumänischen Nettodurchschnittslohn von etwa 1300 Lei. Im Jahr zuvor war das gerade erschienene Werk des Autors Varujan Vosganian als «Buch des Jahres» die Überraschung der Saison. «Ich habe selten in einem Roman eine solche Dichte des menschlichen Lebens und der entscheidenden Ereignisse in der Existenz einer Gemeinschaft angetroffen», lobte Kritikerpapst Nicolae Manolescu. Ungewöhnlich waren für das breite Publikum sowohl Thema als auch Autor.
Anzeige:
Der Politiker als Schriftsteller
Nach der Wende von 1989 Präsident der Vereinigung der Armenier in Rumänien geworden und als solcher auch Mitglied des Parlaments, trat Vosganian, Ökonom mit Studienabschluss und daneben Verfasser von Fachbüchern, auch als Autor von einigen Lyrikbänden hervor. Ergänzend zu seiner literarischen Arbeit betätigte er sich politisch auf der konservativen Seite des Parteienspektrums, gründete eine rechte Partei, die dann den Nationalliberalen beitrat. Seine bemerkenswerteste Leistung war sicher die vierjährige Amtszeit als Wirtschafts- und zeitweise auch Finanzminister im Kabinett Tariceanu. Als solcher nicht ganz unumstritten, gibt er in seinem erfolgreichen ersten Roman einen Blick auf einen Hintergrund der rumänischen Gesellschaft frei, der vielen Rumänen weitgehend unbekannt geblieben sein dürfte.
Der metaphernreiche und phantasievolle Stil Vosganians führt in die Welt seiner Kindheit Anfang der sechziger Jahre, in ein Leben in einfachen Häusern mit Hof und offenen Feuern, mit den Gerüchen der Hauswirtschaft und der kleinen Läden an einer Strasse, die die Welt bedeutete. Die Weltlage, wie sie sich den Grosseltern und Verwandten nach dem heimlichen Abhören ausländischer Sender darstellt, und immer wieder die Vergangenheit der Armenier bilden die Themen der Gespräche.
Wenn sich die Alten der armenischen Gemeinde von Focsani in der südlichen rumänischen Moldau zum Gespräch treffen wollten, versammelten sie sich im baumbestandenen Hof der armenischen Kirche oder gar in der unbenützten Grabkammer einer Familie, die im Ausland lebte. Hier würde sie die Geheimpolizei nicht beobachten können, hier waren schnell bei Kaffeezeremonie und Zigaretten Zeit und Raum transzendiert und gab man sich den Vergangenheiten, Zukünften und fernen Landschaften hin, die unter dem Zeichen des Todes aufschienen. Leise musste man sein, flüstern, ein Flüstern, das meist in ein Seufzen überging. «Das Buch des Geflüsters» ist ein historisches Panorama der rumänischen Armenier im 20. Jahrhundert, das, von der kleinen Gemeinde in der Provinz ausgehend, eine Geschichte der Verfolgungen und des Überlebens entwirft.
Als Kind hörte der Erzähler den Alten zu, vor allem seinem Grossvater Garabet, dem Fotografen und Weltweisen, und seinem Schwager Sahag Şeitanian, dem Überlebenden der Deportationen. Geboren wurde die Mehrzahl der Alten der Focsanier Gemeinde jenseits des Schwarzen Meeres, in Persien oder dem Osmanischen Reich, das damals auch Syrien und das heutige Armenien umfasste. Die Schrecken und Greuel der Verfolgung begannen bereits 1895 mit dem Massaker von Trabizond an der Schwarzmeerküste und fanden ihren Höhepunkt in den von Vosganian ausführlich beschriebenen Deportationen in die mesopotamische Wüste während des Ersten Weltkriegs.
Kosmopolitismus
Auf unterschiedlichen Wegen führten die Wege nach Rumänien, das seit dem Mittelalter einen Ort armenischer Kultur und Wirtschaft bildete. Von der Küste über die Moldau bis nach Czernowitz und hinter die Karpaten reichten seit langem die armenischen Handelswege. In Czernowitz waren viele Armenier zum Katholizismus über- und der polnischen Minderheit beigetreten. Armenische Kirchen finden sich noch heute in allen grösseren Orten der Region, wenn auch manchmal – wie etwa in Iasi – dem Verfall preisgegeben, während die Czernowitzer Kirche heute als Musikaufführungsort in hellem Glanz erstrahlt.
Armenier brachten es vor allem im Handel oft zu Wohlstand und Ansehen. Dass ihr Kosmopolitismus aber auch das Resultat der Verfolgungen war, zeigt Vosganians Buch eindringlich. Wenn der Autor aus den Erzählungen seiner Gemeinde schöpft, so ist es diese Erzähllust, die auch in die rumänische Sprache eingegangen ist: «masa armeneasca» bezeichnet etwas abwertend ein lang andauerndes, wenig ertragreiches Gespräch. Für die Flüsterer in Vosganians Buch ist dieses aber eine Sinngebung in schlimmen Zeiten geworden.

INTERNACIONAL EDICIÓN IMPRESA - Iberoamérica Evo Morales declara a Al Yasira que «el único terrorista» es el presidente Bush El líder indígena y cocalero, triunfador en las presidenciales del día 18, se refirió a la secretaria de Estado de EE.UU., Condoleezza Rice, como «Doña Condolencias» REUTERS Morales masca coca en Chapare Imprimir Votar Enviar
ABC
LA PAZ. El presidente electo de Bolivia, Evo Morales, calificó como «el único terrorista» a su homólogo estadounidense, George W. Bush, en una entrevista concedida a la cadena árabe Al Yasira, en la que además denunció «una guerra sucia» contra él por parte de la Administración Bush. En unas declaraciones emitidas ayer, el líder indígena señaló que «Bush es el único terrorista, porque es el único que interviene militarmente en los asuntos de otros países. Eso es terrorismo de Estado, pero aquellos que reclaman sus derechos, esos no son terroristas».
Por otro lado, el dirigente cocalero, que asumirá el poder el próximo 22 de enero, se refirió a la secretaria de Estado norteamericana, Condoleezza Rice, como «Doña Condolencias». Respecto a la presencia militar de Estados Unidos en Bolivia, el presidente electo sostuvo que no permitirá que ningún soldado de ese país salga de las bases vestido con el uniforme y que piensa hacerles respetar la Constitución boliviana.
Asimismo, el líder indígena criticó la invasión a Irak y aplaudió la decisión del Gobierno español de retirar sus tropas de ese país, por lo que pidió a George W. Bush que siga el ejemplo de su colega José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, según informó la prensa local.
Al mismo tiempo, durante la celebración de su victoria en la zona cocalera del Chapare, el líder indígena aseguró el miércoles por la noche que «no habrá coca cero, eso se acabó», ante unos 20.000 campesinos cultivadores de la planta. «Estamos ganando la lucha verde, la coca está venciendo al dólar norteamericano», agregó Morales en un discurso en la población de Eterazama, a 628 kilómetros al sureste de la capital, durante la primera fiesta popular con la que Morales celebró su contundente triunfo en las urnas el pasado 18 de diciembre.
El virtual mandatario concluyó así una serie de visitas a organizaciones sociales y cívicas para agradecer el apoyo recibido y explicar sus planes de gobierno. La banda Real Imperial de Oruro, donde Morales tocó la trompeta en su juventud para ganarse la vida, amenizó el baile, que se prolongó hasta bien entrada la noche, con sones populares. Cocaleros y autoridades electas de su partido, el Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), financiaron la fiesta, para la que se sacrificaron cinco reses y donde corrió abundante cerveza en medio del calor húmedo de ese trópico, según versiones periodísticas difundidas ayer.
El MAS ratificó asimismo su posición respecto a la anulación de las concesiones mineras en Salar de Uyuni y de trabajar por la recuperación de todos los recursos naturales a favor del Estado para que éstos beneficien a los bolivianos y no a las multinacionales, según informó ayer el rotativo boliviano El Deber.
El senador electo por el departamento de Potosí, Santos Ramírez (MAS), lamentó que aún continúe en el Salar de Uyuni la explotación de ulexita por parte de empresarios bolivianos, a los que calificó como «malos bolivianos», que favorecen más a intereses del vecino Chile y no de Bolivia.
Su hermana, la primera dama
Por otra parte, el MAS confirmó ayer que Esther Morales Ayma, hermana del presidente electo, desempeñará el papel de primera dama de Bolivia a partir del 22 de enero. La hermana mayor del líder cocalero, soltero de 46 años y padre de una niña de 5 años, cumplirá las funciones de primera dama y presidirá una institución benéfica. Esther Morales, de 54 años, casada y madre de los tres sobrinos de Evo Morales, se hizo cargo del ahora presidente electo cuando en la década de los años setenta la madre de ambos, María Ayma, murió de parto sin atención médica en el remoto caserío andino donde nacieron. Presionado durante la campaña electoral a casarse, el presidente electo dijo que durante su gobierno se «casará con Bolivia».

Protesters want to end Pakistan's co-operation with the US
The main demonstration was held in the main city of Karachi with protesters chanting "Death to America".
The missile strike apparently targeted al-Qaeda's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was said not to have been there.
The US has not commented on the strike. Pakistan has protested, but its leader warned people not to harbour militants.
"If we kept sheltering foreign terrorists here... our future will not be good," said President Pervez Musharraf in speech broadcast on state television.
US media say the attack was carried out by the CIA.
Zawahiri has been in hiding since 2001
Zawahiri has eluded capture since the US overthrew the Taleban in Afghanistan in 2001 despite a $25m bounty on his head.
Osama Bin Laden's second-in-command is regarded as the ideological brains behind the al-Qaeda network, says BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera.
The Egyptian has also become its most visible spokesperson, issuing a number of video and audio tapes, whilst Osama Bin Laden has not been seen or heard from for more than a year.
Musharraf criticised
About 10,000 people rallied in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, chanting "Death to American Aggression" and "Stop bombing innocent people".
Hundreds of riot police were deployed to keep order.
Locals are angry at the strike

A leader in the coalition of anti-US Islamic groups that organised the nationwide protests said General Musharraf must step down.
"The army cannot defend the country under in his leadership," Ghafoor Ahmed told protesters in Karachi.
In Samarbagh, near the Damadola village where the attack occurred, protesters denounced Gen Musharraf for co-operating with the US.
Foreign presence
Damadola is in the Bajaur tribal area, about 7km (4.5 miles) from the Afghan border.
Jets - or in some accounts a Predator drone - reportedly fired missiles at a particular housing compound in the village.
Reports citing unidentified Pakistani officials say the strike was launched on intelligence that Zawahiri had been invited to dinner in the village.
However, a senior intelligence official told Reuters news agency they had no evidence he was present at the meal.
Damadola was the stronghold of a banned pro-Taleban group, the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi, the agency reported an official as saying.
The US has about 20,000 troops in Afghanistan, but Pakistan does not allow them to operate across the border.
Pakistan has about 70,000 troops in the border region.

Many Pakistanis took to the streets Saturday to demonstrate against the U.S. air strike of a village on the border of Afghanistan. The main demonstration took place in the city of Karachi, where protestors shouted "Death to American Aggression" and "Stop bombing innocent people", a BBC report claims. Riot police were deployed to keep order.
A rally also took place in the town of Samarbagh, where over 600 people came out to protest, according to the Aljazeera news network. Speaking at the rally, Aizaz-ul Mulk Afkari, a leader from the Hezb-ul Mujahidin group, is reported to have claimed that Washington was targeting Pakistan because of its nuclear weapons.
The previous day, around 8000 tribesmen are reported to have staged a rally in the town of Inayat Qala. The US has not yet commented on the attack.

Locals are angry at the strike

Ayman al-Zawahiri was not in the village on the border with Afghanistan, Pakistan officials said. But the attack left at least 18 local people dead.
The US military has denied knowledge of the attack, which US media reported had been carried out by the CIA.
But Islamabad condemned the strike and called the US ambassador to complain.
Pakistan's Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told a news conference the Pakistani government wanted "to assure the people we will not allow such incidents to reoccur".
He said he did not know whether Zawahiri had been in the area at the time.
According to preliminary investigations there was foreign presence in the area and that, in all probability, was targeted from across the border in Afghanistan

Tribesmen there are convinced the strike was the work of the Americans and are very angry at the attack.
Zawahiri has been in hiding since 2001
Reporters who reached Damadola spoke of three houses hundreds of metres apart that had been destroyed.
Shah Zaman said he lost two of his sons and a daughter. "I ran out and saw planes. I ran toward a nearby mountain with my wife. When we were running we heard three more explosions. I saw my home being hit.
"According to preliminary investigations there was foreign presence in the area and that, in all probability, was targeted from across the border in Afghanistan," Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement, adding it had complained to the US envoy in Islamabad.
A Pakistani intelligence official told Reuters news agency that Damadola was the stronghold of a banned pro-Taleban group, the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi.
The US has about 20,000 troops in Afghanistan, but Pakistan does not allow them to operate across the border.

Many Pakistanis took to the streets Saturday to demonstrate against the U.S. air strike of a village on the border of Afghanistan. The main demonstration took place in the city of Karachi, where protestors shouted "Death to American Aggression" and "Stop bombing innocent people", a BBC report claims. Riot police were deployed to keep order.
A rally also took place in the town of Samarbagh, where over 600 people came out to protest, according to the Aljazeera news network. Speaking at the rally, Aizaz-ul Mulk Afkari, a leader from the Hezb-ul Mujahidin group, is reported to have claimed that Washington was targeting Pakistan because of its nuclear weapons.
The previous day, around 8000 tribesmen are reported to have staged a rally in the town of Inayat Qala. The US has not yet commented on the attack.

The missiles were deadly accurate. In the pitch dark of a night in Pakistan's sparsely populated North West Frontier Province, they not only located the three targeted houses on the outskirts of the village of Damadola Burkanday but squarely struck their hujra, the large rooms traditionally used by Pashtun tribesmen to accommodate guests.
Yesterday some of the results of the strike were very clear: three ruined houses, mud-brick rubble scattered across the steeply terraced fields, the bodies of livestock lying where thrown by the airblast, a row of newly dug graves in the village cemetery and torn green and red embroidered blankets flapping in the chilly wind. Four children were among the 18 villagers who died in the brutally sudden attack on their homes.
Yet evidence emerging appeared to indicate that, though the technology that guided the missiles to their targets at 3am on Friday was faultless, the intelligence that had selected those targets was not. Even as American military and intelligence sources spoke of the possible death of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the second-in-command of al-Qaeda and the man considered to be the brains behind the militant group's strategy, Pakistani officials said that there was no evidence any 'foreigners', shorthand locally for al-Qaeda fighters, were among the 18 victims, though they said that 'according to preliminary investigations there was foreign presence in the area'.
In a bid to distance themselves from what was looking like a tragic and counter-productive tactical error that had cost many innocent lives, Pakistan announced it would file a formal protest with the Americans. Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told a news conference that the Pakistani government wanted 'to assure the people we will not allow such incidents to recur,' adding that the government had no information about al-Zawahiri.
'We deeply regret that civilian lives have been lost in an incident. While this act is highly condemnable, we have been for a long time striving to rid all our tribal areas of foreign intruders who have been responsible for all the misery and violence in the region. This situation has to be brought to an end,' he said.
But his words did little to calm the anger in and around Damadola, a bastion of conservative religion and tribal chauvinism, and elsewhere in Pakistan. The village lies in the semi-autonomous Bajur tribal region around 120 miles northwest of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. It is a rugged and desperately poor region, until recently a centre of opium cultivation, where local men habitually go armed and government authority is limited to main roads. Thousands of local men marched in a series of protests yesterday, one crowd attacking the office of a US-funded aid group. In another incident, police were forced to fire tear gas to disperse as many as 400 protesters chanting anti-American slogans and waving banners condemning the Pakistan President, General Pervez Musharraf.
Musharraf, who came to power in 1999, has maintained a difficult and domestically unpopular alliance with Washington since 2001 and has deployed unprecedented numbers of troops on bloody operations to capture senior al-Qaeda figures. However, to the Americans' intense annoyance, he has not granted US forces in Afghanistan the right to cross the border into Pakistan, even in pursuit of militants. American-led coalition forces clashing with militants in the mountainous province of Kunar, immediately adjacent to Bajaur which lies a mere four miles from the frontier, say they have often been frustrated by their enemies' use of Pakistan as a sanctuary. Yesterday the Pakistani Foreign Ministry took pains to point out that 'in all probability [the village] was targeted from across the border in Afghanistan'.
Tensions between Washington and Islamabad have grown in recent weeks as American troops have stepped up operations against militants. Pakistan has already lodged a protest with the US military six days ago after a reported US airstrike killed eight people in the North Waziristan tribal region, an almost deserted area of mountains 300 miles south of Damadola. In Damadola itself, locals said they had never sheltered any al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders, let alone al-Zawahiri, an instantly recognisable 54-year-old Egyptian-born ex-doctor.
'This is a big lie... Only our family members died in the attack,' said Shah Zaman, a jeweller who lost two sons and a daughter in the attack. 'They dropped bombs from planes and we were in no position to stop them... or to tell them we are innocent. I don't know [al-Zawahiri]. He was not at my home. No foreigner was at my home when the planes came and dropped bombs.' Haroon Rashid, a member of parliament who lives in a village near Damadola, told The Observer that he had seen a drone surveying the area hours before the attack.
'A drone has been flying over the area for the last three, four days, and I had a feeling that something nasty was going to happen,' he said in a phone interview. 'There was no foreigner there - we never saw a single foreigner here. They were all local people, jewellers and shop-keepers, who used to commute between Bajaur and their village. We knew them.'
The dead were reported to include four children, aged between five and ten, and at least two women. According to Islamic tradition, they were buried almost immediately. One Pakistani official, speaking anonymously, told The Observer that hours before the strike some unidentified guests had arrived at one home and that some bodies had been removed quickly after the attack. This was denied by villagers.
US and Pakistani officials have also said that the missiles were launched from American pilotless predator drones, which have previously been used to target senior al-Qaeda figures. A man alleged to be al-Qaeda's third-in-command was killed in a 'stand-off' missile attack around a month ago. However, several eyewitnesses spoke of seeing planes and illuminating flares over the village, which if true would indicate the use of missiles from planes guided in by special forces teams on the ground rather than CIA-operated drones.
Obaidullah, a local doctor, said he saw the airstrike from his home about five to six kilometres away. 'There was one plane flying (overhead). Then more planes came. First they dropped light and then bombs,' he said. If US troops have crossed the frontier from Afghanistan in pursuit of militants, it would be a major diplomatic incident and a domestic disaster for Musharraf.
The Americans have become increasingly frustrated by their inability to catch al-Zawahiri, whom analysts see as the strategic mentor of Osama bin Laden. Al-Zawahiri was already a hardened Egyptian militant when he joined bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian six years younger, in the late 1980s to form the al-Qaeda group out of the remnants of Arab 'mujahideen' who had fought the Russians in Afghanistan. After masterminding a series of attacks, culminating in the 11 September atrocities, from camps in Afghanistan in the late 1990s, al-Zawahiri has been on the run. However, this has not stopped him providing broad strategic direction for the international Islamic militant movement and, through appearing in frequent propaganda videos, becoming almost as well known as bin Laden himself. Despite a huge manhunt and a $25m reward, he has escaped capture. Strong local sympathy for al-Qaeda fugitives in the harsh hills that line the Afghan frontier with Pakistan has been a major advantage.
'The Americans are really not much closer to finding him than they were years ago,' said one intelligence analyst. 'They are hunting in an area that is about a thousand miles long and two hundred miles wide. That is a tough job by anyone's standards.' The carnage at Damadola indicates that the hunted is still a step ahead of the hunters.
The Al-Zawahiri file
· Born 1951, Cairo. Son of a chemistry professor. A trained paediatrician.
· Travelled to Pakistan in 1985 after being arrested, imprisoned and tortured in sweep of militants following killing of President Sadat.
· Spent 1991-1996 in Sudan with Osama bin Laden before moving to Afghanistan.

Pakistan Condemns 'Zawahiri' Strike
Mohammad Zubair / AP Pakistani tribal villagers view damage caused by airstrikes
in the northwestern village of Damadola, near the Afghan border
in Pakistan, where 17 people were killed Jan. 14. Villagers whose
homes were destroyed in a U.S airstrike targeting Al Qaeda’s No. 2,
Ayman al-Zawahri, denied that he was ever there. Thousands of
people marched in three separate protests against the attack, and
a mob set fire to the office of a U.S.-funded aid group.
AP: DAMADOLA, Pakistan—Pakistan on Saturday condemned a purported CIA airstrike on a border village that officials said unsuccessfully targeted al-Qaida’s second-in-command, and said it was protesting to the U.S. Embassy over the attack that killed at least 17 people.
Thousands of local tribesmen, chanting “God is Great,” demonstrated against the attack, claiming the victims were local villagers without terrorist links and had never hosted Ayman al-Zawahri.

The ruling may still not be final, however, because a lower court in Kerman can appeal the decision to the full membership of the Supreme Court. More than 50 Supreme Court judges would then take part in the final decision.
According to the Supreme Court’s earlier decision, the killers, who are members of the Basiji Force, volunteer vigilantes favored by the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, considered their victims morally corrupt and, according to Islamic teachings and Iran’s Islamic penal code, their blood could therefore be shed.
The last victims, for example, were a young couple engaged to be married who the killers claimed were walking together in public.
Members of the Basiji Force are known for attacking reformist politicians and pro-democracy meetings. President Ahmadinejad was a member of the force, but the Supreme Court judges who issued the ruling are not considered to be specifically affiliated with it.

Iran’s Islamic penal code, which is a parallel system to its civic code, says murder charges can be dropped if the accused can prove the killing was carried out because the victim was morally corrupt.
This is true even if the killer identified the victim mistakenly as corrupt. In that case, the law requires “blood money” to be paid to the family. Every year in Iran, a senior cleric determines the amount of blood money required in such cases. This year it is $40,000 if the victim is a Muslim man, and half that for a Muslim woman or a non-Muslim.
In a long interview with the Iranian Student News Agency, a Supreme Court judge, Mohammad Sadegh Al-e-Eshagh, who did not take part in this case, sought Wednesday to discourage vigilante killings, saying those carried out without a court order should be punished.

At the same time, he laid out examples of moral corruption that do permit bloodshed, including armed banditry, adultery by a wife and insults to the Prophet Muhammad.

“The roots of the problems are in our laws,” said Mohammad Seifzadeh, a lawyer and a member of the Association for Defenders of Human Rights in Tehran. “Such cases happen as long as we have laws that allow the killer to decide whether the victim is corrupt or not. Ironically, such laws show that the establishment is not capable of bringing justice, and so it leaves it to ordinary people to do it.”
The ruling stems from a case in 2002 in Kerman that began after the accused watched a tape by a senior cleric who ruled that Muslims could kill a morally corrupt person if the law failed to confront that person.
Some 17 people were killed in gruesome ways after that viewing, but only five deaths were linked to this group. The six accused, all in their early 20s, explained to the court that they had taken their victims outside the city after they had identified them. Then they stoned them to death or drowned them in a pond by sitting on their chests.
Three of the families had given their consent under pressure by the killers’ families to accept financial compensation, said Mr. Ahmadi, the lawyer.
Such killings have occurred in the past. A member of the security forces shot and killed a young man in 2005 in the subway in Karaj, near Tehran, for what he also claimed was immoral behavior by the victim.
A judge caused outrage in 2004 in Neka, in the north, after he issued a death sentence for a 16-year old girl for what he said were chastity crimes. After the summary trial, he had her hanged in public immediately, before the necessary approval from the Supreme Court.
Neither man has been punished.
“Such laws are not acceptable in our society today,” said Hossein Nejad Malayeri, the brother of Gholamreza Nejad Malayeri, who was killed by the group in Kerman. “That means if somebody has money, he can kill, and claim the victim was corrupt.”

Iran's Supreme Court has nullified the death sentences awarded to several members of the Basij and Ansar-e Hezbollah paramilitary groups for killing people they accused of moral corruption under Islamic laws.
Ali Maleki and several of his associates killed Reza Nejadmalayeri and Shohreh Nikpour in Kerman in 2002, accusing them of fornication.
Iran's Islamic laws permit summary execution of those who commit blasphemy, sacrilege, repeated fornication, adultery, slander Imam Khomeini, Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or the Islamic prophets, and otherwise behave in a way that is out of sync with the Islamic criteria.
Members of the paramilitary group (Basij) - which is variously characterized as a pro-government vigilante group or militia - who had been convicted escaped the death penalty because they argued before the Islamic court that they acted in defense of Islamic laws. The members, who pledge allegiance to Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stoned one of their victims to death and tied up four others, including Nejadmalayeri and Nikpour, before throwing them into a swimming pool where they drowned.
The accused stated in their confession the teachings of one Islamic cleric who had said that they were allowed to kill immoral people if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behavior.
In Iran, courts have previously imposed severe penalties for what they considered immoral behaviour. In 2004, a 16 year old girl, Atefah Sahaaleh, was executed for committing "acts incompatible with chastity", after she testified that she had been repeatedly raped while in an abusive relationship with an ex-revolutionary guard, Ali Darabi. Dabari received a sentence of 95 lashes. In 1998 a German businessman, Helmut Hofer, was sentenced to death for having a relationship with a 26-year-old single Iranian woman.

TEHRAN, Iran Iran's Supreme Court has overturned a death sentence against a hard-line Islamic vigilante for murdering a couple for immoral behavior in southeastern Iran, one of the victims' lawyers said Thursday.
Ali Maleki, with the help of several accomplices, drowned Reza Nejadmalayeri and his fiance, Shohreh Nikpour, in a small pool in 2002 on the belief they had violated rules against contact between unmarried men and women. The killings occurred near Kerman, a city some 620 miles southeast of the capital, Tehran.
"The Supreme Court has overturned the death sentence against the defendant (Maleki)," lawyer Nemat Ahmadi told The Associated Press Thursday.
The Supreme Court's ruling on Saturday was the fourth time it had overturned Maleki's death sentence, continuing a case that has caused widespread anger throughout Iran despite a news blackout by state media. After each previous ruling, the case has been returned to the local court to be retried.
A Kerman court issued death sentences against six hard-line Islamic vigilantes, including Maleki, in 2003 for murdering three men and two women who they believed were promoting "moral corruption."

The five other assailants have been identified as Mohammad Hamzeh Mostafavi, Soleiman Jahanshahi, Mohammad Ya'abbasi, Mohammad Soltani and Changiz Salari.
All six men were members of the Basij, a pro-government vigilante force that enforces Iran's strict version of Islamic law — including segregation of the sexes and the wearing of the veil by women.
The vigilantes, who pledge support to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stoned one of their victims to death and tied up four others before throwing them into a swimming pool where they drowned.
The Kerman court upheld the death sentences twice, but after the Supreme Court overturned the verdicts of the six assailants a third time, the local court gave five of them prison terms. The court kept Maleki's verdict unchanged, sending his case back to the country's highest legal body.
Independent Iranian newspapers have reported that the families of the victims, reportedly under pressure from hard-line groups, have taken money in exchange for accepting more lenient verdicts, but relatives of Nejadmalayeri and Nikpour have supposedly resisted and want Maleki hanged.
"This verdict causes the people to lose their trust in the judicial system," said Ahmadi.
Critics say the ruling demonstrates the free hand given to the Basij, which has no official legal authority in Iran, but is considered more powerful than the country's police. Enforcement of Islamic law has been reduced in Iran's largest cities like Tehran ever since reformists held power in the late 1990s, but the Basijis have continued to wage their campaign elsewhere in the country.
Under Iran's Islamic law, the vigilantes can escape punishment if they prove their victims were morally corrupt. The next step in the case will be a determination by the Supreme Court of whether the attackers were correct in their beliefs, Ahmadi reported.
"The existence of this law (has been and) will be misused by many ... it means any person can take the law into his or her own hands," Ahmadi said.
The brutal killings shocked Kerman residents, but Iran's media has largely been kept uninformed about the case. The state-run media has not reported any news of the killings or the subsequent cases.

BBC News, Tehran
The accused men believed they were allowed to kill immoral people
The vigilantes were not guilty because their victims were involved in un-Islamic activities, the court found.
The killers said they believed Islam let them spill the blood of anyone engaged in illicit activities if they issued two warnings to the victims.
The serial killings took place in 2002 in the south-eastern city of Kerman.
'Morally corrupt'
The case raises serious questions about vigilantes in Iran taking justice into their own hands and undermining the rule of law.
Up to 18 people were killed in just one year, but only five of the murders were tried in court.
According to their confessions, the killers put some of their victims in pits and stoned them to death. Others were suffocated. One man was even buried alive while others had their bodies dumped in the desert to be eaten by wild animals.
The accused, who were all members of an Islamic paramilitary force, told the court their understanding of the teachings of one Islamic cleric allowed them to kill immoral people if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behaviour.
But there was no judicial process to determine the guilt of the victims in these cases.
The group even killed a young couple they thought were involved in sex outside marriage, but media reports say the couple were either married or engaged to be married.
Lawyers for the victims' families say the Supreme Court has five times overturned the verdict of a lower court that found all the men guilty of murder.
Now the Supreme Court is reported to have acquitted all the killers of the charge of murder on the grounds that their victims were all morally corrupt.
Some of the group may, however, face prison sentences or have to pay financial compensation to their victims' families.

Atefah Sahaaleh: wrongly described as being 22 years old
On 15 August, 2004, Atefah Sahaaleh was hanged in a public square in the Iranian city of Neka.
Her death sentence was imposed for "crimes against chastity".
The state-run newspaper accused her of adultery and described her as 22 years old.
But she was not married - and she was just 16.
Sharia Law
In terms of the number of people executed by the state in 2004, Iran is estimated to be second only to China.
In the year of Atefah's death, at least 159 people were executed in accordance with the Islamic law of the country, based on the Sharia code.
Since the revolution, Sharia law has been Iran's highest legal authority.
Alongside murder and drug smuggling, sex outside marriage is also a capital crime.
As a signatory of the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, Iran has promised not to execute anyone under the age of 18.
But the clerical courts do not answer to parliament. They abide by their religious supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, making it virtually impossible for human rights campaigners to call them to account.
Code of behaviour
At the time of Atefah's execution in Neka, journalist Asieh Amini heard rumours the girl was just 16 years old and so began to ask questions.
To teach others a lesson, Atefah's execution was held in public
"When I met with the family," says Asieh, "they showed me a copy of her birth certificate, and a copy of her death certificate. Both of them show she was born in 1988. This gave me legitimate grounds to investigate the case."
So why was such a young girl executed? And how could she have been accused of adultery when she was not even married?
Disturbed by the death of her mother when she was only four or five years old, and her distraught father's subsequent drug addiction, Atefah had a difficult childhood.
She was also left to care for her elderly grandparents, but they are said to have shown her no affection.
In a town like Neka, heavily under the control of religious authorities, Atefah - often seen wandering around on her own - was conspicuous.
It was just a matter of time before she came to the attention of the "moral police", a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, whose job it is to enforce the Islamic code of behaviour on Iran's streets.
Secret relationship
Being stopped or arrested by the moral police is a fact of life for many Iranian teenagers.
Previously arrested for attending a party and being alone in a car with a boy, Atefah received her first sentence for "crimes against chastity" when she was just 13.
Although the exact nature of the crime is unknown, she spent a short time in prison and received 100 lashes.
Atefah was soon caught in a downward spiral of arrest and abuse
When she returned to her home town, she told those close to her that lashes were not the only things she had to endure in prison. She described abuse by the moral police guards.
Soon after her release, Atefah became involved in an abusive relationship with a man three times her age.
Former revolutionary guard, 51-year-old Ali Darabi - a married man with children - raped her several times.
She kept the relationship a secret from both her family and the authorities.
Atefah was soon caught in a downward spiral of arrest and abuse.
Local petition
Circumstances surrounding Atefah's fourth and final arrest were unusual.
The moral police said the locals had submitted a petition, describing her as a "source of immorality" and a "terrible influence on local schoolgirls".
But there were no signatures on the petition - only those of the arresting guards.
Men's word is accepted much more clearly and much more easily than women
Mohammad Hoshi,
Iranian lawyer and exile
Three days after her arrest, Atefah was in a court and tried under Sharia law.
The judge was the powerful Haji Rezai, head of the judiciary in Neka.
No court transcript is available from Atefah's trial, but it is known that for the first time, Atefah confessed to the secret of her sexual abuse by Ali Darabi.
However, the age of sexual consent for girls under Sharia law - within the confines of marriage - is nine, and furthermore, rape is very hard to prove in an Iranian court.
"Men's word is accepted much more clearly and much more easily than women," according to Iranian lawyer and exile Mohammad Hoshi.
"They can say: 'You know she encouraged me' or 'She didn't wear proper dress'."
Court of appeal
She was my love, my heart... I did everything for her, everything I could
Atefah's father
When Atefah realised her case was hopeless, she shouted back at the judge and threw off her veil in protest.
It was a fatal outburst.
She was sentenced to execution by hanging, while Darabi got just 95 lashes.
Shortly before the execution, but unbeknown to her family, documents that went to the Supreme Court of Appeal described Atefah as 22.
"Neither the judge nor even Atefah's court appointed lawyer did anything to find out her true age," says her father.
And a witness claims: "The judge just looked at her body, because of the developed physique... and declared her as 22."
Judge Haji Rezai took Atefah's documents to the Supreme Court himself.
And at six o'clock on the morning of her execution he put the noose around her neck, before she was hoisted on a crane to her death.
Pain and death
During the making of the documentary about Atefah's death the production team telephoned Judge Haji Rezai to ask him about the case, but he refused to comment.
The human rights organisation Amnesty International says it is concerned that executions are becoming more common again under President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad, who advocates a return to the pure values of the revolution.
The judiciary have never admitted there was any mishandling of Atefah's case.
For Atefah's father the pain of her death remains raw. "She was my love, my heart... I did everything for her, everything I could," he says.
He did not get the chance to say goodbye.

Helmut Hofer, the German businessman, has been condemned to death in the second trial on charges of moral corruption and illicit sexual relations with an Iranian girl called Vahideh Q.
The judge of Tehran's public court, branch number 180 based at Mehrabad Airport, also sentenced Vahideh Q to a hundred lashes.
On the basis of the accusations, last Autumn, security officers patrolling the foreign flights terminal of the airport noticed that a 26-year-old Iranian girl was waiting to welcome a 50-year-old German passenger (that is, Hofer).
The officers took Hofer and the girl to the security office of the airport and in the course of the interrogation, the girl said that she had got to know Helmut Hofer several months earlier at a hotel in Mashhad.
Hofer introduced himself as an importer and exporter of dried fruit and nuts and said that he had a trading company in Khorasan.
The case of Hofer and Vahideh Q, who were charged with having illicit sexual relations, was then sent to the public court based in Mehrabad Airport.
After preliminary investigations, the court judge issued an order for the temporary detention of Hofer and Vahideh Q, and the two were imprisoned.
However, after four months, Vahideh Q was released on bail.
Vahideh Q, who is a student of medicine, said in her defence: "Because I speak a foreign language well, Hofer promised to employ me in his company ... This acquaintance eventually turned into a friendship and he promised to marry me.
"But he kept putting off the date of the marriage on different excuses, including work-related ones, until I realised that I had been deceived by him."
The German Hofer said in his defence: "We were simply friends and I do not accept the charge of illicit sexual relations."
He added: "Before getting to know Vahideh, I had become separated from my wife, who is a Turkish national, and I intended to marry an Iranian girl. But then this problem cropped up."
In the first trial, Hofer was sentenced to death on charges of moral corruption and illegitimate sexual relations.
But, after he appealed, the state supreme court, in the course of its investigations, found fault with the form and procedure of three sets of evidence related to the case, and referred the case back to the court at Mehrabad Airport.
In the second trial, after two court sessions, Helmut Hofer was again found guilty and condemned to death.

Iran's Supreme Court has nullified the death sentences awarded to several members of the Basij and Ansar-e Hezbollah paramilitary groups for killing people they accused of moral corruption under Islamic laws.
Ali Maleki and several of his associates killed Reza Nejadmalayeri and Shohreh Nikpour in Kerman in 2002, accusing them of fornication.
Iran's Islamic laws permit summary execution of those who commit blasphemy, sacrilege, repeated fornication, adultery, slander Imam Khomeini, Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or the Islamic prophets, and otherwise behave in a way that is out of sync with the Islamic criteria.
Members of the paramilitary group (Basij) - which is variously characterized as a pro-government vigilante group or militia - who had been convicted escaped the death penalty because they argued before the Islamic court that they acted in defense of Islamic laws. The members, who pledge allegiance to Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stoned one of their victims to death and tied up four others, including Nejadmalayeri and Nikpour, before throwing them into a swimming pool where they drowned.
The accused stated in their confession the teachings of one Islamic cleric who had said that they were allowed to kill immoral people if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behavior.
In Iran, courts have previously imposed severe penalties for what they considered immoral behaviour. In 2004, a 16 year old girl, Atefah Sahaaleh, was executed for committing "acts incompatible with chastity", after she testified that she had been repeatedly raped while in an abusive relationship with an ex-revolutionary guard, Ali Darabi. Dabari received a sentence of 95 lashes. In 1998 a German businessman, Helmut Hofer, was sentenced to death for having a relationship with a 26-year-old single Iranian woman.

Alain Bernard avait quitté Pékin l'or autour du cou, et aux lèvres la promesse, du moins le désir, de nager prochainement en 46 secondes sur 100 m nage libre. Huit mois plus tard, c'est chose faite. À Montpellier jeudi, en demi-finales de l'aller retour des costauds, le champion olympique français a claqué un monstrueux 46''94 pour devenir le premier nageur de l'histoire sous les 47 secondes. À la clé, évidemment, le record du monde repris à l'ami-ennemi australien Eamon Sullivan, neuf ans après les 47''98 du Néerlandais Pieter van den Hoogenband aux Jeux de Sydney, et dont le passage historique sous les 48'' semble avoir pris des siècles en moins d'une décennie.
«C'est une grande fierté d'être le premier à nager en moins de 47''», explique l'Antibois. C'est mythique, un moment fort de ma carrière avec le titre olympique à Pékin. Toutes les conditions étaient réunies ici, mais je n'avais pas spécialement programmé ce chrono, même si ce serait abuser que de dire que j'en ai gardé en réserve. Je voulais juste signer un bon temps. Parfois ça passe, parfois pas, ça se joue à peu de chose. Il y a actuellement une très belle dynamique dans le sprint français…»
Il a tout du patron
Et comment ! Car le reste de la patrouille de France, qui chasse vendredi soir en finale le deuxième ticket sur 100 m pour Rome (26 juillet au 2 août) dans le sillage de son requin leader, déjà qualifié, a également affolé le chrono : Amaury Leveaux en 47''76 (record personnel égalé), l'étonnant William Meynard en 47''97 pour pointer dans le club des «moins de 48», où Fabien Gilot s'invite enfin en 47''98. En fait, seul Frédérick Bousquet, 6e temps de ces demi-finales (48''85), n'a pas été transcendant.
Avant même la finale de vendredi soir, le sprint tricolore détient les six meilleures performances mondiales de l'année 2009. Belle densité, dans le sillage du boss de sprint. Car Alain Bernard a tout du patron. Le titre olympique, le record du monde repris à Sullivan (47''05), et pour tout dire l'attitude, cette force solaire, naturelle, que d'autres ne dégagent pas. Mais aussi une bonne combinaison, tout comme ses adversaires.
En réponse à la folie qui s'est emparée du bassin au sujet de la combinaison - soi-disant homologuée - de la marque Jaked (12 des 18 records de France battus en deux jours), Alain Bernard a nagé jeudi soir avec un produit Arena similaire, 100 % polyuréthane, actuellement en cours d'homologation. Et beaucoup d'observateurs de se demander quelle est la réelle valeur des chronos réalisés avec ce type de matériel, dont la conformité reste un mystère. Le record du monde d'Alain Bernard offre donc un cas pratique comme un casse-tête à la FINA, si peu crédible sur le sujet, mais qui doit désormais se prononcer sur l'homologation du record du monde du Français…

Le directeur général de Tyr Europe, Franck Horter, est revenu sur la polémique entourant les combinaisons. Sponsor officiel de la fédération française, Tyr est également l'équipementier d'Amaury Leveaux, seul nageur qualifié pour la finale du 100 m avec une combinaison homologuée. Horter, en désaccord avec la décision de la FFN, dénonce de la «triche» autour du matériel non validé... en attendant de le voir disparaßtre de la circulation. Entretien.
«Franck Horter, quelles sont aujourd'hui les rÚgles concernant les combinaisons ?
La procĂ©dure d'approbation des combinaisons de la gĂ©nĂ©ration prĂ©cĂ©dente consistait Ă rĂ©unir une commission. On lui envoyait l'Ă©quipement et elle devait rĂ©pondre Ă des critĂšres presque visibles d'approbation. Ici, on assiste Ă une rĂ©volution du matĂ©riel, et dans la composante mĂȘme du tissu. Cette commission est donc devenue totalement obsolĂšte puisque les gens qui la composaient n'ont pas la capacitĂ© d'Ă©valuer le tissu. Suite Ă ce souk, la FINA a dĂ©cidĂ© de reprendre les choses en main. Le problĂšme c'est qu'elle a mis un certain temps Ă se rendre compte que ça explosait. Et la deuxiĂšme chose, c'est que les scientifiques ont du mal Ă dĂ©finir le pourcentage de matĂ©riel impermĂ©able, normalement limitĂ© Ă 50 %. La FINA vient de profondĂ©ment durcir les rĂšgles. Elles vont ĂȘtre mises en place Ă Rome. Puis au 1er janvier 2010, tout ce qu'on voit aujourd'hui, type Jaked, nouvelle Arena (avec laquelle Alain Bernard a battu le record du monde, photo L'Ăquipe) et compagnie, n'existera plus.
Il s'agira d'un Ă©norme bond en arriĂšre ?
On va assister Ă un recul des performances. Aujourd'hui, avec les combinaisons totalement impermĂ©ables, les nageurs profitent du «air trapping». Quand vous les voyez ouvrir les combinaisons pour mettre de l'air dedans, cet air ne peut pas sortir. Quand vous avez des combis de type ancienne gĂ©nĂ©ration, Ă 50 % d'impermĂ©abilitĂ©, l'air part. Vous ĂȘtes donc ĂȘtre plus portĂ©s dans les nouvelles combinaisons.
Comment expliquer qu'il soit alors possible de nager avec ?
La FINA a statuĂ© et je suis trĂšs en colĂšre contre la FĂ©dĂ©ration française. La FINA a dit : «Si vous voulez respecter les rĂšgles de la FINA, les combinaisons approuvĂ©es sont celles de PĂ©kin». Point barre. Les Jaked de PĂ©kin sont homologuĂ©es. On s'est posĂ© la question de savoir si les Jaked avec lesquels les nageurs français nagent Ă Montpellier sont les mĂȘmes. Mais la fĂ©dĂ©ration française nous a dit : «Nous n'avons pas la capacitĂ© Ă vĂ©rifier si c'est la version de PĂ©kin ou la nouvelle. Donc nous ne pouvons pas statuer.» Ăa je le conteste totalement, parce qu'il suffit d'en saisir une et de l'envoyer Ă la FINA.
Mais qui ne veut pas l'envoyer ?
Ăa a Ă©tĂ© une dĂ©cision de la fĂ©dĂ©ration que j'ai apprise par L'Ăquipe mercredi matin. Ăa met dans une colĂšre noire parce qu'on va se retrouver peut-ĂȘtre avec Amaury Leveaux qui ne va pas aller aux Championnats du monde sur 100 m alors qu'il a la possibilitĂ© de le gagner.
Amaury Leveaux n'a-t-il pas reçu une nouvelle TYR sur le mĂȘme modĂšle que la Jaked et la nouvelle Arena d'Alain Bernard ?
(Il hĂ©site)... Il ne l'a jamais testĂ©e. C'est une loterie incroyable de lui mettre cette combinaison sur le dos. Si j'avais eu l'information plus tĂŽt comme d'autres l'ont eue, non seulement Amaury aurait eu le mĂȘme type de matĂ©riel que ce qu'Ă eu Alain ou Jaked et on l'aurait fait nager en 44''. Parce qu'on n'est pas sur la mĂȘme chose que l'annĂ©e derniĂšre. L'an passĂ©, Speedo avait certes de l'avance mais tout avait Ă©tĂ© approuvĂ©. LĂ , si je vais Ă l'absurde, je mets une combinaison de plongĂ©e, je nage 40'' sur 100 m et c'est approuvĂ© ! Je me retrouve alors qualifiĂ© pour les Championnats du monde avec une combinaison qui n'est pas approuvĂ©e !
C'est la fédération française qui doit statuer...
Moi, il me semble que la réponse est lourde de conséquences.
Quelle réponse ?
De dire «nager avec ce que voulez» pendant la réunion technique. On s'en fout des records. Là , c'est les sélections ! Qu'est-ce qu'on fait si Amaury n'est pas qualifié pour le 100 m ? C'est ridicule. Ce qu'il se passe aujourd'hui dans la procédure est unique. Je pense que ça ne se reproduira plus jamais. L'année prochaine, il n'y aura plus de triche possible.
Vous parlez carrément de triche...
Oui. Si Jaked a une combinaison qui n'est pas celle approuvée par Pékin, je suis désolé mais c'est de la triche.
Amaury va t-il nager avec sa nouvelle combinaison ?
La tendance est plutĂŽt au non. Pour deux raisons. D'abord il ne l'a jamais testĂ©e. Et la deuxiĂšme, c'est qu'il est particulier. Tout ce qui touche Ă l'injustice le touche aussi. J'espĂšre que ça nourrira sa colĂšre et qu'il essaiera de dĂ©montrer qu'avec une combi homologuĂ©e, il passera quand mĂȘme pour Rome en prenant un risque gigantesque de ne pas y aller.»

Queensland passes civil unions bill
Updated
The Queensland Parliament has joined Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT in passing legislation recognising same-sex civil partnerships.
As expected, the Opposition voted against the bill as did most independent MPs.
Labor MPs were allowed a conscience vote and four voted against the legislation, but the final result was not as close as expected with a margin of 47 votes to 40.
Inside Parliament, Premier Anna Bligh reflected the views of a majority of her party.
"The bill that is before the Parliament is a bill that seeks to strike a blow against prejudice and strike a blow against discrimination," she said.
Health Minister Geoff Wilson, who initially said he would support the bill, was one of the Labor MPs who voted against the bill.
"The more I have thought about it, about what I personally believe according to my faith, unfortunately I can't support the bill," he said.
Another Labor MP, Michael Choi, was the first to tell Parliament he would not support the legislation.
"This is by far the hardest legislation for the last 10 years I've had to work on," he said.
"I struggled and have argued with myself over and over, but at the end I could not support this bill.
"My conscience does not allow me to go further. I wanted to but I could not."
Mr Choi also thanked Ms Bligh for allowing MPs to make up their own minds.
In stating his party's opposition to the bill, Liberal National Party (LNP) MP Jarrod Bleijie told the House it was not a priority for Queensland residents.
"The LNP will prioritise the issues for all Queenslanders, and civil partnership is not on the priority list in the minds of Queenslanders," he said.
"The passing of this bill will not save Queenslanders money, it will not ease pressure on their cost of living pressures, it will not get our treasured AAA credit rating back."
Gay marriage
For the past few weeks the debate on civil unions has dominated Queensland politics.
The vote comes just days before Labor's national conference debates whether to go a step further and legalise gay marriage.
Before the debate, Ms Bligh addressed a gay rights rally outside Parliament House, where she reiterated her support for gay marriage.
"I look forward to seeing a majority of voices recorded in favour of this bill when it comes to the vote this evening," she said.
"After that before too long I look forward to seeing the first same-sex marriage in Queensland."
Earlier, Deputy Premier Andrew Fraser, who put forward the private member's bill, said it was important to recognise the difference between civil unions and gay marriage.
"Legally and constitutionally this is an entirely different matter to marriage, and that's an important part of the debate that's being conducted here in Queensland," he said.
"Obviously many people who are supporting this bill also have aspirations around changing the Marriage Act; that's a matter for the Federal Government.
"What we're doing here in Queensland is going as far as we can as a state to provide for a quality of recognition of relationships in order to access the sort of rights that many people take for granted."

Location of Queensland within Australia
The parliament of the Australian state of Queensland has passed a law recognising same-sex civil unions. Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory already officially recognise such relationships.
"The bill that is before the Parliament is a bill that seeks to strike a blow against prejudice and strike a blow against discrimination," Premier told during debate.
Health Minister Geoff Wilson voted against the bill saying, "The more I have thought about it, about what I personally believe according to my faith, unfortunately I can't support the bill."
Independent Member of Parliament Peter Wellington tweeted, "I supported the Civil Partnership Bill because it is fair and reasonable and respects the rights of all."
While the governing allowed its MPs a conscience vote, the voted en masse against the Bill.
"The LNP will prioritise the issues for all Queenslanders, and civil partnership is not on the priority list in the minds of Queenslanders," said Jarrod Bleijie, LNP Member of Parliament. "The passing of this bill will not save Queenslanders money, it will not ease pressure on their cost of living pressures, it will not get our treasured AAA credit rating back."
Gay rights campaigners were thrilled. Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians national spokeswoman Shelley Ardent told reporters "There was absolute joy, it was fantastic. There were a couple of hundred people watching the vote and we made so much noise when the laws passed that we got in trouble".
The billed passed 47 votes to 40.

SANTIAGO.- El candidato presidencial de Chile Vamos, Sebastián Piñera, aseguró que los responsables de los atentados en el sur a camiones e iglesias "están financiados desde el exterior".
El ex Presidente fue el invitado del programa Agenda Agrícola de CNN Chile, donde se refirió a los casos de violencia rural que han afectado a empresas forestales y agrupaciones civiles en los últimos meses.
"No confundamos terrorismo con mapuches, la inmensa mayoría del pueblo mapuche quiere progresar con su trabajo y en paz, y un grupo muy pequeño que está financiado desde el exterior tiene lazos con muchas organizaciones terroristas del mundo...", dijo al espacio que se graba en la semana y fue transmitido hoy.
Consultado por si existe terrorismo en el sur, el abanderado de Chile Vamos aseguró que "como no va a ser terrorismo un grupo de personas capaz de quemar iglesias con gente adentro, quemar vivo al matrimonio Luchsinher Mackay, destruir las cosechas, los gapones, la maquinaria, camiones".
La Fiscalía investiga a los grupos que se han adjudicado algunos de estos ataques, cuyos integrantes fueron detenidos en el marco de la denominada "Operación Huracán". Se trata de la Coordinadora Arauco Malleco (CAM) y la Weichan Auka Mapu (WAM).

Grupos de manifestantes atacan a la policía con piedras, cócteles mólotov y bengalas en las inmediaciones del estadio Lobanovski
Los enfrentamientos entre los manifestantes y la policía ucraniana continúan hoy en el centro de Kiev, escenario desde hace casi 24 horas de una batalla campal que ha dejado a unos 200 heridos, entre opositores y agentes del orden.
Grupos de manifestantes atacan a la policía con piedras, cócteles mólotov y bengalas en las inmediaciones del estadio Lobanovski, no lejos de la plaza de la Independencia, bastión opositor desde hace dos meses.
En respuesta, los efectivos antidisturbios, que no dejan de recibir refuerzos, recurren a balas de goma, bombas de humo y gas lacrimógeno.
Cada cierto tiempo, los equipos sanitarios median entre ambas partes para atender a los heridos. kSegún los servicios sanitarios, entre los más de cien hospitalizados, tres manifestantes han perdido un ojo, mientras a otro le han tenido que amputar una mano.
La oposición instó hoy al presidente ucraniano, Víktor Yanukóvich, a negociar directamente con la oposición para resolver la crisis política, originada por la negativa del jefe de Estado de firmar un acuerdo de asociación con la Unión Europea.
"Tiene sentido entablar negociaciones sólo con quien toma decisiones y puede asumir la responsabilidad de su cumplimiento", dijo Vitali Klitschkó, uno de los dirigentes de la oposición.
En un vídeo difundido hoy, el líder del partido Udar (Golpe) llamó a "todos los ciudadanos y patriotas a defender su país y su futuro", por lo que les congregó al Maidán, es decir a la plaza.
"Algo que no había ocurrido nunca desde la proclamación de la independencia de Ucrania está ocurriendo ahora, algo que la gente no podía prever ni en sus pesadillas, que son los enfrentamientos en la capital, y son las autoridades las que han llevado la situación hasta este punto", dijo el líder opositor.
Entretanto, el grupo de trabajo creado por orden de Yanukóvich comenzó esta tarde sus labores sin la participación del presidente, cuya dimisión es insistentemente demandada por los manifestantes.
"El grupo ya ha invitado a la oposición a reunirse en la segunda mitad del día. El grupo está dispuesto a las negociaciones para arreglar la situación en el país", aseguró Anna Guerman, diputada oficialista.
La legisladora agregó que Yanukóvich no participará en las negociaciones hasta que se conozcan las demandas de cada parte e insistió en que el presidente no representa a ninguno de los bandos, sino al pueblo.
Por su parte, el expresidente Víctor Yúschenko, que fue aupado al poder durante la Revolución Naranja de 2004, advirtió hoy de que "la victoria de la calle y la supremacía de la fuerza pueden ser el primer episodio de una guerra civil".
Yúschenko no dudó en criticar la falta de liderazgo y la ausencia de planes concretos entre la oposición, lo que minaría la autoridad de los partidos opositores y contribuye a la radicalización de los manifestantes.
Unos 200 heridos, entre policías y opositores, y más de 20 detenidos es el balance provisional de los violentos enfrentamientos, en los que los manifestantes quemaron cuatro autobuses policiales y dos camiones.
Los choques estallaron al término de una masiva manifestación opositora que congregó ayer, domingo, a más de 100.000 personas en la plaza de la Independencia, el "Euromaidán", escenario de protestas europeístas desde hace más de dos meses.
Los incidentes comenzaron cuando miles de manifestantes intentaron romper un cordón policial junto a la sede del Gobierno, a unos 500 metros de la plaza.

La distancia entre el Gobierno y la oposición se considera insalvable, por ello para esta última, la única vía para resolver la crisis política es celebrar elecciones anticipadas. Los opositores instaron hoy a Yanukóvich a negociar directamente con ellos para resolver los problemas.

Mexico portant des masques chirurgicaux
L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a élevé son niveau d'alerte de 4 à 5 sur échelle en comptant 6. La phase n° 5 d'alerte caractérise, pour l'OMS, , mais surtout , toujours selon l'OMS.
Un nouveau cas de grippe porcine après celui du 27 avril 2009, s'est déclaré en Espagne.
La maladie qui selon les chiffres pourrait avoir fait 150 morts au Mexique, s'est par la suite étendue aux États-Unis, puis Canada, en Grande-Bretagne, en Espagne, en Israël ainsi qu'en Nouvelle-Zélande.

La grippe porcine a continué ce mardi sa progression, touchant désormais plusieurs continents. Le Mexique est pour l'instant le seul pays où le virus s'est révélé mortel, avec 152 décès probablement dû à l'épidémie.
Le pays a ralentit son activité avec la fermeture des restaurants, des boîtes de nuit, et de lieux touristiques. Plusieurs voyagistes -dont les français - ont suspendus leurs vols en direction du Mexique.
Sur le continent nord-américain, le Canada (13 cas) et les Etats-Unis (64 cas) sont également touchés par la maladie.
L'Europe a vu le virus débarqué, en Espagne puis en Allemagne. Ailleurs dans le monde, Israël, l'Australie, la Corée du Sud, ou encore la nouvelle-Zélande présentent aussi des cas de grippe porcine.
En France des cas suspects sont encore en cours d'investigation mais pour l'instant aucun cas n'est recensé. Le PDG du laboratoire Roche, fabricant du Tamiflu estime que le pays est bien protégée contre une éventuelle pandémie de grippe porcine, les stocks de Tamiflu et de Relenza, médicaments recommandés par l'OMS, couvrant «plus de la moitié de la population».
L'OMS a par ailleurs annoncé que 4 laboratoires dans le monde sont à des «stades différents» de travail sur une souche virale, pouvant servir de précurseur du vaccin contre la grippe.
Les grands groupes pharmaceutiques profitent de ce coup de pouce pour progresser en bourse, sur fond de morosité ambiante (-1.66% pour le Cac 40), à cause des craintes autour de la grippe porcine. Les valeurs touristiques et les compagnies de transport continuent, de leur côté, de chuter.

Auf die Unterstützung der Linken kann sich Geras SPD-Oberbürgermeister Norbert Vornehm bei seinen Personalabbaupplänen stets verlasssen Foto: dpa
Was schert mich mein Parteiprogramm, wenn ich mitregiere. Nach diesem Motto agiert die Partei Die Linke offenbar nicht nur im Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus, sondern auch in einigen ostdeutschen Kommunen.Beispiel Gera: Die ostthüringische Stadt ist hoch verschuldet, ein Schicksal, welches sie mit vielen Kommunen nicht nur in Ostdeutschland teilt. Und auch die vermeintlichen Lösungsansätze zur Überwindung der Finanzkrise ähneln sich. Auch in Gera will die Stadtratsmehrheit die Personalausgaben drastisch senken. Bis 2012 sollen 561 Stellen in der öffentlichen Verwaltung, das entspricht 41,45 Prozent, gestrichen werden. Dies soll in erster Linie durch Altersteilzeit und die Nichtbesetzung freiwerdender Stellen realisiert werden, die einen sogenannten kw-Vermerk (kann wegfallen) erhalten. Das wird nicht zur Schuldentilgung reichen, deswegen sind auch Ausgliederungen aus der Verwaltung in Eigenbetriebe und Teilprivatisierungen in der Diskussion.Ein entsprechender Haushaltsentwurf wurde am vergangenen Donnerstag mit der Mehrheit der Stimmen von SPD und Die Linke verabschiedet. Letztere stellt mit 18 Abgeordneten die mit Abstand größte Fraktion im Stadtrat.Zwar sind für das Jahr 2008 zunächst nur knapp 50 Stellen im Visier der Sparkommissare, doch die mittelfristige Planung bleibt stehen. Nachdem Die Linke reichlich Zoff mit dem städtischen Personalrat und der Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft ver.di bekam, brachte sie noch einen Zusatzantrag ein, der eine »genaue Prüfung« der einzelnen Verwaltungsbereiche vorsieht. Diese sollen einer »Aufgabenkritik« unterzogen werden, um trotz Stellenstreichungen oder --verlagerungen deren Effizienz und Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhalten. Andreas Schubert, Sprecher der Linken im Geraer Stadtrat, verwies am Montag auf jW-Anfrage auf Zusagen des Oberbürgermeisters Norbert Vornehm (SPD), den Stellenabbau ohne betriebsbedingte Kündigungen zu bewerkstelligen. An der Reduzierung der Personalkosten führe allerdings kein Weg vorbei, und man werde auch über Arbeitszeitverkürzungen natürlich ohne Lohnausgleich diskutieren müssen. Für die Personalratsvorsitzende bei der Geraer Verwaltung, Gabi Sommer, ist das nur ein schwacher Trost. »Wir wissen bis heute noch nicht, welche Stellen überhaupt wegfallen sollen« , so Sommer gegenüber jW. Zudem berge die angekündigte Auslagerung bestimmter Verwaltungsbereiche in Eigenbetriebe mittelfristig die Gefahr der Abkopplung von den Tarifen im öffentlichen Dienst. Denn auch in Gera sind erste Teilprivatisierungen öffentlicher Unternehmen, beispielsweise bei der Müllentsorgung und der Grünflächenbetreuung, auf den Weg gebracht worden.Friedhelm Gebhardt, ver.di-Fachbereichssekretär für Gemeinden in Ostthüringen, wird noch ein bißchen deutlicher. Für ihn sei es »einfach unfaßbar, wie sich speziell die Linke verhält«, erklärte er gegenüber jW. Während sie auf Bundesebene gegen Privatisierungen öffentlicher Dienstleistungen und für verbindliche Mindestlöhne eintrete, praktiziere sie in Gera das genaue Gegenteil. »Wenn wir Jobs im unteren Lohnbereich wie z.B. Hausmeister, Müllentsorger oder beim Grünflächenamt aus der Verwaltung ausgliedern, ist es doch nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis diese Aufgaben von Firmen übernommen werden, die Hungerlöhne zahlen«. Er verwies in diesem Zusammenhang auch darauf, daß die Linke hinter den Plänen des Oberbürgermeisters steht, die gesamte Sanierung und Gebäudebetreuung der städtischen Schulen künftig als sogenannte Private Public Partnership zu organisieren. Wenn dies geschehe, sei »Gera anschließend finanziell mausetot«.Ohnehin sei die Finanzpolitik des Geraer Stadtrats und des Oberbürgermeisters äußerst dubios, kritisiert Gebhardt. Vornehm gehe immer mit seinen Plänen für eine »schlanke Verwaltung « hausieren, habe aber mit der Berufung eines hauptamtlichen Stadtdirektors und der Schaffung von vier Dezernentenstellen »eine in ganz Thüringen einmalige Personalausstattung im oberen Besoldungsbereich geschaffen«. Der ver.di-Sekretär hat sich jedenfalls vorgenommen, dem designierten Spitzenkanditen der Linken für die Landtagswahl in Thüringen, Bodo Ramelow, »ein paar deutliche Fragen« zu den Geraer Vorgängen zu stellen.

Bodo Ramelow, dem designierten Spitzenkandidaten der Linkspartei für die Landtagswahl in Thüringen, steht ein Streit mit der Gewerkschaft ver.di ins Haus.
Die Linke, im Stadtrat von Gera mit 18 Sitzen stärkste Fraktion, unterstütze die Pläne des SPD-Oberbürgermeisters, Norbert Vornehm nach erheblichen Personaleinsparungen in Gera.
Der Stadtrat von Gera hat ein mittelfristiges Sanierungskonzept beschlossen, nach dem die Personalausgaben bis 2012 drastisch gesenkt werden soll. Danach müssten 561 Stellen oder 41,45 Prozent in der Geraer Verwaltung gestrichen werden. Dieser Stellenabbau solle durch Altersteilzeit und Nichtbesetzung frei werdender Stellen (kw-Vermerke) geschehen. Aber auch Ausgliederungen in Eigenbetriebe und Teilprivatisierungen werden nicht ausgeschlossen.
Die Linke bekam für ihre Einsparvorschläge daher reichlich Ärger mit dem städtischen Personalrat und der Gewerkschaft ver.di. Daraufhin brachte Andreas Schubert, Sprecher der Linken im Geraer Stadtrat, noch einen Zusatzantrag ein. Danach sollen alle Verwaltungsbereiche einer genauen Überprüfung unterzogen werden. Es solle überprüft werden, wie trotz Stellenstreichungen und Stellenverlagerungen noch die Effizienz und Leistungsfähigkeiten der einzelnen Verwaltungsbereiche gewährleistet werden solle.
Dabei solle auch die gesamte Sanierung und Gebäudebetreuung der städtischen Schulen künftig als Private-Public-Partnership-Modell durchgeführt werden. Erste Teilprivatisierungen seien bei der Müllabfuhr und Grünflächenbetreuung schon in Gang gesetzt worden, für ver.di das Einfallstor für Hungerlöhne seitens der Privatanbieter solcher Dienstleistungen.
Der ver.di-Fachbereichssekretär für Gemeinden in Ostthüringen Friedhelm Gebhardt kritisiert Die Linke: Während sie auf Bundesebene gegen Privatisierungen öffentlicher Dienstleistungen und für verbindliche Mindestlöhne eintrete, praktiziere sie in Gera das genaue Gegenteil und trete dort für weitere Privatisierungen und Stellenabbau ein. Er wolle Bodo Ramelow zu den Vorgängen in Gera „ein paar deutliche Fragen stellen“, schreibt die „jungeWelt“ in ihrer Ausgabe vom 5. Februar 2008.

Turkish legal authorities are investigating allegations that one of the key figures behind the May 2010 Gaza flotilla, Bülent Yildirim, was involved in transferring funds to al-Qaida, the Turkish daily Habertürk reported on Friday.
Yildirim is president of IHH, a Turkish charity that was one of the main planners of the flotilla. On May 31, 2010, IDF naval commandos raided one of the flotilla vessels attempting to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the Mavi Marmara. They were attacked by activists on board, and in turn killed nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists.
While Turkey has accused Israel of unprovoked aggression and demanded an apology for the deaths, Israel maintains that the commandos were confronted by violent IHH members when they boarded the vessel, and that they acted in self-defense.
IHH is widely considered a terrorist organization by a number of bodies, including the Israeli government, and has been accused of maintaining ties with a number of terror organizations.
According to the Habertürk report, special prosecutors in both Istanbul and Diyarbakir, a large city in southeastern Turkey, are conducting separate investigations into claims that Yildirim has been secretly “providing financial aid to al-Qaida via his foundation.”
IHH, short for Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (Insani Yardim Vakfi), is an Islamic charity founded in the mid-1990s to provide aid to Bosnia’s Muslims. Since then it has been involved in charity operations in a number of Muslim and Middle Eastern countries, including Indonesia, Pakistan, Iraq and Lebanon, and in aid missions to the Palestinian territories.
According to the Intelligence and Information Center, an Israeli NGO, IHH is affiliated with Hamas and the Union of the Good, an Islamic umbrella group affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
In 2006 a report issued by the Danish Institute for International Studies stated that IHH maintained links with al-Qaida and a number of “global jihad networks” during the 1990s. It also said the Turkish government had launched an investigation into IHH in December 1997 after receiving intelligence that it had bought automatic weapons from Islamist terrorists.
The Danish report said in addition that following this revelation, the Turkish government had launched a raid on the organization’s Istanbul offices, where authorities found weapons, explosives and instructions for bomb-making. It added that an examination of documents found at the IHH office indicated the group was planning to take part in terrorist activities in Afghanistan, Chechnya and Bosnia.
According to the study, a French intelligence report found that in the mid-1990s Yildirim recruited soldiers for jihad activities in a number of Muslim countries and that IHH transferred money, firearms and explosives to jihadists there.
Ben Hartman contributed to this report.

'''Bulent Yildirim, człowiek stojący na czele tureckiej radykalnej islamskiej IHH (Fundacji na rzecz Praw Człowieka i Wolności oraz Pomocy Humanitarnej), został przesłuchany 15 czerwca przez prokuraturę w Stambule.'''
Czynności tureckiej prokuratury, w tym przesłuchanie prezydenta organizacji, mają na celu wyjaśnienie podejrzenia przekazywania przez IHH środków gromadzonych na pomoc humanitarną do Al-Kaidy.
Prokuratura podejrzewa, że Yildirim, jeden z głównych organizatorów „flotylli wolności”, finansował Al-Kaidę, a jego „fundacja” służyła do gromadzenia i transferu środków dla tej sunnickiej organizacji terrorystycznej.
Prof. Uzi Arad, który w czasie „flotylli wolności” był Szefem Rady Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego Izraela, skrytykował 15 czerwca w Tel Awiwie, w trakcie jednego ze spotkań z cyklu "HaKatedra Strategiczny Piątek", wojskowego sekretarza premiera gen. Jochanana Lokera. Swoje uwagi wygłosił pod wpływem opublikowanego dwa dni wcześniej raportu Kontrolera Państwa Michy Lindenstraussa, który nie pozostawił suchej nitki na rządowym procesie decyzyjnym przed i w trakcie trwania incydentu.
Arad powiedział między innymi, że starał się zorganizować naradę gabinetu przygotowującą Izrael już trzy miesiące przed incydentem, ale jego działania zostały storpedowane. Arad wskazał główny problem, który był przyczyną fuszerki w trakcie przygotowań do zatrzymania „flotylli wolności” i samego incydentu - ambicjonalne rozgrywki wojskowego sekretarza Lokera.

Uzi Arad lambastes PM, describing him as a careless leader who rebuffed efforts to seriously look at 'Marmara' issue.

Uzi Arad, who served as head of the National Security Council during the May 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, slammed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government for carrying out “sloppy work” in preparation for the flotilla to Gaza.
Speaking during a panel discussion in Tel Aviv on Friday, Arad made the comments two days after State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss, in a report on the incident, criticized the government’s decision-making in dealing with the flotilla.
Lindenstrauss charged that the National Security Council Law of 2008 had not been properly implemented and, as a result, the NSC did not play the central role it should have in planning Israel’s response to the flotilla.
The law stipulates that the NSC should act as a staff forum for the prime minister and his government for foreign and national security matters.
Arad, who was forced to resign in March 2011 over allegations that he leaked classified information to a journalist, has reiterated on several occasions his claim that Netanyahu failed to empower the NSC. At a Knesset committee meeting earlier this year, the deputy attorney-general made clear that his office never attributed the leaks to Arad.
On Friday, Arad described Netanyahu as having a careless attitude in the lead-up to the flotilla.
“I would come to him claiming something had to be done in a certain way,” Arad said, “and he would answer me: ‘Uzi, what is your obsession with process?’”
Arad claimed he had pushed for a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue in the three months prior to the flotilla, but was turned down. He criticized Netanyahu’s military secretary, Yohanan Locker, for contributing to the problem.
“All of a sudden, four days before the flotilla, the military secretary organized some kind of meeting, with no preparation, with no reference material, without looking at the full scope of the problem and without the right ministers present,” Arad charged.
“In other words, what happened was exponentially sloppy work.”
Arad added that when he pressed Netanyahu to prepare, the prime minister would tell him to focus on “substance” rather than the “process.”
“And I would tell him that process determines the outcome of the substance,” Arad said.

Lutto nel mondo della cultura per la scomparsa a 84 anni di Umberto Eco. Verrà commemorato nella sua città d'adozione, Milano. Il feretro del grande scrittore, filosofo e semiologo dovrebbe essere esposto nel corso di un rito civile al Castello Sforzesco. Sarebbe questo, secondo indiscrezioni, l'orientamento dei parenti: un rito civile che dovrebbe tenersi martedì prossimo, alle 15, al Castello Sforzesco. L'uscita del nuovo libro di Eco, Pape Satàn Aleppe, inizialmente prevista in maggio, è stata anticipata a sabato 27 febbraio. Lo annuncia l'editore Eugenio Lio. Il libro consegnato e corretto dallo scrittore, con la copertina disegnata da Cerri, aspettava solo di andare in stampa per la casa editrice La nave di Teseo.
Intervista a Elisabetta Sgarbi: "Presto in libreria 'Pape Satàn Aleppe'"
IL NOME DELLA ROSA - Il trailer
Quando ricevendo il premio scherzò: 'Avete raschiato il barile' (da YouTube)
Fu il conferimento del Sigillum Magnum a Umberto Eco ad aprire il 19 giugno scorso la ReUniOn dell'Universita' di Bologna, primo raduno mondiale dei laureati Alma Mater. Alla consegna l'allora rettore Ivano Dionigi aveva ricordato che il riconoscimento è "simbolo del sapere dei saperi, riservata a Capi di Stato, Pontefici e personalità internazionali". Eco, visibilmente commosso, ricevendo usò però la sua consueta ironia: "ho letto da qualche parte che il Sigillum Magnum è stato istituito nel 1888, quindi, se non ho sbagliato i calcoli, ne avete dati 137 sino ad adesso a persone illustrissime e meritevoli. Immagino che il Rettore Dionigi si sia trovato a dover raschiare il fondo del barile e quindi lo abbia dato a me". "Per cui non mi resta che imitare i nostri gloriosi ciclisti vincitori di tappa - aveva aggiunto tra gli applausi generali -: 'sono molto contento di essere arrivato ultimo, ciao mamma, saluto gli amici del bar sport'".
Eco, nato ad Alessandria il 5 gennaio del 1932, è deceduto alle 22:30 di ieri nella sua abitazione. Tra i suoi maggiori successi letterari 'Il nome della rosa' del 1980, che ispirò il film di Jean-Jacques Annaud e 'Il pendolo di Foucault' (1988). Il suo ultimo libro critica al giornalismo, 'Numero zero' (LA RECENSIONE ANSA) è stato pubblicato lo scorso anno da Bompiani. Oltre che di romanzi di successo internazionale, nella sua lunga carriera Eco è stato autore di numerosi saggi di semiotica, estetica medievale, linguistica e filosofia. (FOTO)
Da semiologo a romanziere star : scrisse Opera aperta neoavanguardia e Il nome della rosa (VAI)
Profondo cordoglio per la scomparsa di Umberto Eco è stato espresso ai familiari dal Presidente del Consiglio Matteo Renzi. "Esempio straordinario di intellettuale europeo, univa una intelligenza unica del passato a una inesauribile capacità di anticipare il futuro", sottolinea Renzi che con lui si era intrattenuto a Milano, a Expo, lo scorso giugno assieme al Presidente francese Francois Hollande, proprio sui temi della identità europea, dell'innovazione scientifica, della memoria e della lotta contro l'intolleranza. "Una perdita enorme per la cultura, cui mancherà la sua scrittura e voce, il suo pensiero acuto e vivo, la sua umanità", conclude il presidente del consiglio.
E sui social l'omaggio dei lettori

Umberto Eco è morto. E il mondo perde uno dei suoi più importanti uomini di cultura contemporanei: a tutti noi mancherà il suo sguardo sul mondo. Aveva 84 anni, è stato scrittore, filosofo, grande osservatore ed esperto di comunicazione e media. La conferma della scomparsa dell'autore de "Il nome della Rosa" e de "Il pendolo di Foucault" è stata data dalla famiglia a Repubblica. La morte è avvenuta alle 22.30 di ieri sera nella sua abitazione.Nato ad Alessandria il 5 gennaio del 1932, Umberto Eco era un semiologo, filosofo e prolifico scrittore. Nel 1988 aveva fondato il Dipartimento della Comunicazione dell'Università di San Marino. Dal 2008 era professore emerito e presidente della Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici dell'Università di Bologna.di FRANCESCO MERLOUmberto Eco ha scritto numerosi saggi di estetica medievale, linguistica e filosofia, oltre a romanzi di successo. Tra questi il già citato "Il nome della Rosa", uscito nel 1980 e diventato in brevissimo tempo un bestseller internazionale con milioni di copie vendute, traduzioni in moltissime lingue e "Il Pendolo di Foucault". Dal 12 novembre 2010 era socio dell'Accademia dei Lincei, per la classe di Scienze Morali, Storiche e Filosofiche.L'ultimo suo libro, pubblicato nel 2015, proprio il giorno del suo compleanno, è stato "Anno Zero" , uscito per i tipi della da Bompiani. Un libro ambientato nel 1992 che parla di una immaginaria redazione di un giornale, con forti riferimenti alla storia politica, giornalistica, giudiziaria e complottistica italiana, da Tangentopoli a Gladio, passando per la P2 e il terrorismo rosso.L'ultima sua intervista, invece, fu a Repubblica fu lo scorso 24 novembre quando lo scrittore decise insieme a Sandro Veronesi, Hanif Kureishi, Tahar Ben Jelloun di non pubblicare più per il nuovo colosso Mondadori-Rcs controllato da Segrate, pur essendo tra i migliori della scuderia Bompiani. E di seguire Elisabetta Sgarbi in una nuova avventura, la casa Editrice "La nave di Teseo". E proprio questa nuova "avventura" di Umberto Eco, appresa la notizia della scomparsa, ha voluto salutare con un tweet il suo "capitano". "La nave di Teseo saluta il suo capitano. Grazie Umberto".Proprio di questa nuova impresa Umberto Eco aveva parlato al nostro giornale.Il punto della massima chiarezza è stato anche quello della massima oscurità, quando, raccontava Umberto Eco, "si sono incontrate per non capirsi Elisabetta Sgarbi e Marina Berlusconi", non donne incompatibili e incomunicabili per ideologia, ma per antropologia. È da quell'incontro che è nata " La Nave di Teseo", due legni arcuati e all'insù come simbolo, la nuova case editrice finanziata dagli scrittori, a partire dai due milioni messi proprio dallo scrittore che, faceva progetti con l'entusiasmo e i rischi di un ragazzo, pur sapendo di avere ormai 84 anni (ancora da compiere): "Perché il progetto è l'unica alternativa alla Settimana Enigmistica, il vero rimedio contro l'Alzheimer". Velleitari? "Peggio, siamo pazzi", diceva a Francesco Merlo che lo intervistava per Repubblica.Eco ammetteva che con questa nuova esperienza potevano rischiare il magnifico fallimento. L'editoria infatti - ragionava lo scrittore assieme agli altri che lo hanno voluto seguire in questa nuova avventura - è il modo più elegante per dissipare i propri risparmi, magari in modo lento, ma sicuro. Inoltre - sosteneva ancora - in un'epoca non creativa, l'editore può essere destinato all'impotenza.Ma lo scrittore spiegava: "Teseo è solo un pretesto, un nome come un altro. L'importante è la nave, non Teseo", tirando fuori la sua tanto amata semiologia, riferendosi anche al fatto che la nave di Teseo è proprio quella che perde e sostituisce i pezzi, un po' premonitore della sua scomparsa. Eco ha voluto a tutti i costi che la nave continuasse a navigare, con o senza di lui, pur sapendo, forse, di avere poco tempo a disposizione per condurla in acque sicure."Chi non legge, a 70 anni avrà vissuto una sola vita - aveva detto in passato - Chi legge avrà vissuto 5000 anni. La lettura è un'immortalità all'indietro".Una scelta, quella di lasciare il gruppo editoriale della famiglia Berlusconi, che ha probabilmente origine nelle posizioni che Eco prese nei vent'anni del Cavaliere. Lui, da garante di Libertà e Giustizia, fu sempre in prima fila nel denunciare gli eccessi politici e personali del premier. "Noi credevamo che il nostro presidente del Consiglio avesse con Mubarak in comune solo una nipote, ma invece ha anche il vizietto di non voler dare le dimissioni" diceva nel 2011 a Firenze.Figlio di un negoziante di ferramenta, in gioventù fu impegnato nella GIAC (l'allora ramo giovanile dell'Azione Cattolica) e nei primi anni cinquanta fu chiamato tra i responsabili nazionali del movimento studentesco dell'AC (progenitore dell'attuale MSAC). Nel 1954 abbandonò l'incarico (così come avevano fatto Carlo Carretto e Mario Rossi) in polemica con Luigi Gedda.Durante i suoi studi universitari su Tommaso d'Aquino, smise di credere in Dio e lasciò definitivamente la Chiesa cattolica; in una nota ironica, in seguito commentò: "si può dire che lui, Tommaso d'Aquino, mi abbia miracolosamente curato dalla fede".Laureatosi in filosofia nel 1954 all'Università di Torino con Luigi Pareyson con una tesi sull'estetica di San Tommaso d'Aquino, iniziò a interessarsi di filosofia e cultura medievale, campo d'indagine mai più abbandonato, anche se successivamente si dedicò allo studio semiotico della cultura popolare contemporanea e all'indagine critica sullo sperimentalismo letterario e artistico. Nel 1956 pubblicò il suo primo libro, un'estensione della sua tesi di laurea dal titolo Il problema estetico in San Tommaso.Le sue pubblicazioni. Nel 1962 Umberto Eco pubblica Opera aperta, analisi di testi letterari in termini strutturalisti a partire da Ulisse di Joyce, che fa discutere e diviene uno dei manifesti della neoavanguardia riunita l'anno dopo nel Gruppo '63. Nel 1980 esce invece il romanzo storico medioevale "Il nome della rosa", che suscita consensi internazionali, best seller da oltre 12 milioni di copie, tradotto in cento lingue. In mezzo, molte altre pubblicazioni, saggi, articoli.Da osservatore ironico e semiologo avvertito oltre che creativo, ha dimostrato in ogni occasione di saper cogliere lo spirito del tempo. Il suo Lector in fabula, saggio del 1979 (non a caso periodo in cui stava scrivendo proprio Il nome della rosa), è appunto il lettore che in un testo, in particolare se creativo, letterario, arriva a far interagire col mondo e le intenzioni dell'autore, il proprio mondo di riferimenti, le proprie associazioni, che possono creare una lettura nuova: ''generare un testo significa attuare una strategia di cui fan parte le previsioni delle mosse altrui''. Un''opera aperta è proprio quella che più riesce a produrre interpretazioni molteplici, adattandosi al mutare dei tempi e trovando agganci con scienze e discipline diverse.Una tesi che apparve dirompente in un paese legato alle sue tradizionali categorie estetiche, diviso tra crocianesimo e marxismo storicista. E il discorso di Eco non riguardava, ovviamente solo la forma, la struttura di un'opera, come intesero molti autori di quegli anni, tanto che poco dopo dette alle stampe La struttura assente, che spostava il discorso sulla ricerca semiologica e le sue interazioni. Cosi', forse, il tentativo più esemplare nel mettere in pratica le sue teorie, è nel 2004 La misteriosa fiamma della regina Loana, romanzo illustrato con foto di libri e riviste, manifesti, tavole di fumetti, che fanno parte del racconto e contribuiscono a far rivivere l'atmosfera dell'epoca (da fine anni '30 alla guerra) a ogni lettore anche con i propri ricordi. Eco è statp anche utore di paradossali e ironiche pagine su aspetti minori della realtà raccolte in Diario minimo negli anni '60, e successivamente con le "Bustine di Minerva" sul settimanale l'Espresso. Il successo internazionale, col Nome della rosa, finì per suscitare più polemiche delle sue innovative teorie saggistiche.Poi verranno gli altri romanzi, altri best seller che ne consolidano la fama e stemperano le astiosità: Il pendolo di Foucault nel 1988, L'isola del giorno prima (1994) e Baudolino (2001), La misteriosa fiamma della regina Loana (2004) e Il cimitero di Praga. Fino all'ultimo romanzo sul mondo dei giornalisti e dell'editoria, Numero Zero, uscito l'anno scorso.

Docente di semiotica all'università di Bologna dal 1975, poi professore emerito, Eco era presidente dal 2000 della Scuola superiore di studi umanistici dell'Alma Mater. Mente acutissima e mai paga ha ricevuto numerose onorificenze ed è stato insignito di diverse lauree honoris causa. "La diffusione della cultura e della conoscenza reciproca dei patrimoni culturali dei vari Paesi - aveva detto - può costituire uno degli elementi di salvezza per un mondo sempre più globalizzato"
Addio a Umberto Eco. Il saggista, scrittore, filosofo e linguista italiano, è morto venerdì sera. Aveva 84 anni, ma il suo sapere era infinito. Genio tracimante da una disciplina all’altra, era nato ad Alessandria il 5 gennaio del 1932 e si era laureato a Torino, ma è a Bologna che ha condotto la sua carriera accademica. Studioso autorevole di semiotica, è stato romanziere eccelso, autore di numerosi saggi e di alcune opere di grande successo, fra i quali spicca Il nome della rosa (1980), giallo filosofico di ambientazione medievale da cui era stato tratto un famoso film con Sean Connery e che aveva venduto milioni di copie nel mondo con traduzioni in molte lingue. Il suo nome è più volte comparso nella lista dei candidati al premio Nobel per la Letteratura, ma l’Accademia di Svezia non lo ha mai premiato. Resterà nella storia come uno degli intellettuali più amati e conosciuti in Italia e nel mondo. Non solo scrittore, Eco era un lettore instancabile: “Chi non legge a 70 anni avrà vissuto una sola vita, chi legge avrà vissuto 5000 anni. La lettura è un’immortalità all’indietro”.
Docente di semiotica all’università di Bologna dal 1975, poi professore emerito, Eco era presidente dal 2000 della Scuola superiore di studi umanistici dell’Alma Mater. Mente acutissima e mai paga di conoscenza ha ricevuto numerose onorificenze ed è stato insignito di diverse lauree honoris causa. Filosofo e letterato, nel corso degli anni è stato autore di Opera aperta, Apocalittici e integrati negli anni. Senza dimenticare Fenomenologia di Mike Bongiorno (1963) e Il caso Bond, due anni dopo. Ma era la semiotica il suo campo di battaglia intellettuale. E per questo vanno ricordati La struttura assente (1968) e il Trattato di semiotica generale, (1975). All’amore per la semiotica dobbiamo anche Lector in fabula, 1979 e I limiti dell’interpretazione, 1991.
Quotidiani e riviste negli anni hanno fatto a gara per poter pubblicare le sue riflessioni. Impossibile trascurare la bellezza e il successo dei suoi romanzi: Il nome della rosa (pubblicato nel 1980), in cui il suo sapere e la sua competenza di filosofia medievale e di semiotica sono stati il substrato su cui costruire un vero e proprio thriller dell’anima, un giallo potente e colto ma diventato un bestseller. Otto anni dopo arriverà Il pendolo di Foucault. Il genio di scrittore ha poi prodotto L’isola del giorno prima nel 1994 e sei anni dopo Baudolino. Per Bompiani aveva scritto anche il suo ultimo libro Numero zero, un’opera diversa ambientata a Milano, negli anni a cavallo tra lo stragismo della mafia e il tintinnio delle manette di Mani Pulite, concentrata sul mondo del giornalismo.
Nel suo carnet di intellettuale prolifico però c’è tanto altro: Kant e l’ornitorinco (1997); Cinque scritti morali (1997); Tra menzogna e ironia (1998); Dire quasi la stessa cosa (2003), sui problemi legati alla traduzione da una lingua all’altra. La misteriosa fiamma della regina Loana datato 2004. A passo di gambero (2006), che raccoglie articoli e interventi scritti tra il 2000 e il 2005 su argomenti di attualità; Sator arepo eccetera (2006); Dall’albero al labirinto (2007); Non sperate di liberarvi dei libri (2009), insieme con lo sceneggiatore J.C. Carriére; Vertigine della lista (2009); Il cimitero di Praga (2010); Costruire il nemico e altri scritti occasionali (2011); Scritti sul pensiero medievale (2012); Storia delle terre e dei luoghi leggendari (2013); La filosofia e le sue storie. L’Antichità e il Medioevo con Riccardo Fedriga (2014); La filosofia e le sue storie. L’età moderna ancora con il professor Fedriga, l’anno scorso. Il mondo della cultura ha perso una luce abbacinante.
“La diffusione della cultura e della conoscenza reciproca dei patrimoni culturali dei vari Paesi può costituire uno degli elementi di salvezza per un mondo sempre più globalizzato” aveva detto nella lectio tenuta ai ministri della Cultura riuniti a Expo, nella Conferenza Internazionale organizzata dall’Italia, lo scorso agosto. “La conoscenza di altre culture non elimina l’odio e la diffidenza per chi è diverso da noi e non dobbiamo fingerci anime belle e pensare che con il contatto culturale si possano salvare i bambini che muoiono di fame in Africa. Ma non dimentichiamo che è stato anche su sollecitazioni culturali che tanti volontari sono partiti per prestare la loro opera verso Paesi in difficoltà, scoprendo, tramite una cultura differente, che quei popoli erano uguali a loro”. Eco, riferendosi all’ex ministro Tremonti, senza citarlo aveva ricordato “quel politico italiano che anni fa disse che ‘Con la cultura non si mangia’. Oggi quelle domande sono prive di senso, perché per molte nazioni i beni culturali costituiscono un incremento per l’economia delle città. Non è una questione solo economica: la cultura è fondamentale per la comprensione reciproca in un mondo in cui le diverse culture vivono in continuo contatto”. Se la cultura può davvero salvare il mondo, è anche merito di Umberto Eco.

Umberto Eco, an Italian scholar in the arcane field of semiotics who became the author of best-selling novels, notably the blockbuster medieval mystery “The Name of the Rose,” died on Friday in Italy. He was 84.
His Italian publisher, Bompiani, confirmed his death, according to the Italian news agency ANSA. His family told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that he died at home. No cause was given. Mr. Eco had homes in Milan and Rimini; it was unclear where he was when he died.
As a semiotician, Mr. Eco sought to interpret cultures through their signs and symbols — words, religious icons, banners, clothing, musical scores, even cartoons — and published more than 20 nonfiction books on these subjects while teaching at the University of Bologna, Europe’s oldest university.
But rather than segregate his academic life from his popular fiction, Mr. Eco infused his seven novels with many of his scholarly preoccupations.
In bridging these two worlds, he was never more successful than he was with “The Name of the Rose,” his first novel, which was originally published in Europe in 1980. It sold more than 10 million copies in about 30 languages. (A 1986 Hollywood adaptation directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and starring Sean Connery received only a lukewarm reception.)

The book is set in a 14th-century Italian monastery where monks are being murdered by their co-religionists bent on concealing a long-lost philosophical treatise by Aristotle. Despite devoting whole chapters to discussions of Christian theology and heresies, Mr. Eco managed to enthrall a mass audience with the book, a rollicking detective thriller.
His subsequent novels — with protagonists like a clairvoyant crusader in the Middle Ages, a shipwrecked adventurer in the 1600s, and a 19th-century physicist — also demanded that readers absorb heavy doses of semiotic ruminations along with compelling fictional tales.
In a 1995 interview with Vogue, Mr. Eco acknowledged that he was not an easy read. “People always ask me, ‘How is it that your novels, which are so difficult, have a certain success?’” he said. “I am offended by the question. It’s as if they asked a woman, ‘How can it be that men are interested in you?’” Then, with typical irony, Mr. Eco added, “I myself like easy books that put me to sleep immediately.”

While Mr. Eco had many defenders in academia and the literary world, critics in both realms sometimes dismissed him for lacking either scholarly gravitas or novelistic talent. “No cultural artifact is too lowly or trivial for Eco’s analysis,” Ian Thomson, a literary biographer, wrote in The Guardian in 1999 in a review of “Serendipities: Language and Lunacy,” Mr. Eco’s collection of essays on how false beliefs changed history.
The British novelist Salman Rushdie, in a scathing review in The London Observer, derided Mr. Eco’s 1988 novel, “Foucault’s Pendulum,” as “humorless, devoid of character, entirely free of anything resembling a credible spoken word, and mind-numbingly full of gobbledygook of all sorts.”

Appearing alongside Mr. Rushdie at a literary panel in New York in 2008, Mr. Eco wryly chose to read from “Foucault’s Pendulum.”
As a global superstar in both highbrow and popular cultural circles, Mr. Eco accepted such criticism with equanimity. “I’m not a fundamentalist, saying there’s no difference between Homer and Walt Disney,” he told a Guardian journalist who was exploring his juxtaposition of scholarship and pop iconography in 2002. “But Mickey Mouse can be perfect in the sense that a Japanese haiku is.”
Able to deliver lectures in five modern languages, as well as in Latin and classical Greek, Mr. Eco crisscrossed the Atlantic for academic conferences, book tours and celebrity cocktail parties. Impish, bearded and a chain-smoker, he enjoyed bantering over cheap wine with his students late into the night at taverns in Bologna.
He and his German-born wife, Renate Ramge, an architecture and arts teacher, kept apartments in Paris and Milan and a 17th-century manor once owned by the Jesuits in the hills near Rimini, on the Adriatic Sea. They had two children, Stefano, a television producer in Rome, and Carlotta, an architect in Milan.
Umberto Eco was born on Jan. 5, 1932, in Alessandria, an industrial town in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. His father, Giulio, was an accountant at a metals firm; his mother, Giovanna, was an office worker there.
As a child, Umberto spent hours every day in his grandfather’s cellar, reading through the older man’s eclectic collection of Jules Verne, Marco Polo and Charles Darwin and adventure comics. During the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini, he remembered wearing a fascist uniform and winning first prize in a writing competition for young fascists.

After World War II, Mr. Eco joined a Catholic youth organization and rose to become its national leader. He resigned in 1954 during protests against the conservative policies of Pope Pius XII. But Mr. Eco maintained a strong attachment to the church, writing his 1956 doctoral thesis at the University of Turin on St. Thomas Aquinas.
He went on to teach philosophy and then semiotics at the University of Bologna. He also gained fame in Italy for his weekly columns on popular culture and politics for L’Espresso, the country’s leading magazine.
But it was the publication of “The Name of the Rose” that vaulted Mr. Eco to global renown. The monk-detective of the novel, William of Baskerville, was named after one of Sherlock Holmes’s cases, “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” The novel is narrated by a young novice who accompanies William through his investigation at the murder-prone monastery and acts as a medieval Doctor Watson.
In another literary allusion, this time to the blind Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, who set one of his stories in an encyclopedic library, Mr. Eco named the villain of the novel Jorge de Burgos and portrays him as the monastery’s blind librarian. De Burgos and his accomplices carry out their killings to prevent the disclosure of a supposedly lost Aristotle tome exalting the role of humor. The murderers believe the book is an instrument of Satan.

In “Foucault’s Pendulum,” his second novel, Mr. Eco tells the story of Léon Foucault, a French physicist in the 1800s who devised a mechanism to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. Despite mixing allusions to the Kabbalah, mathematical formulas and Disney characters, the novel also became a worldwide best seller — even though it did not receive the near unanimous acclaim that critics had accorded to “The Name of the Rose.”
The pattern repeated itself with Mr. Eco’s other novels, which were often disparaged by critics but devoured by readers in spite of their dense prose and difficult concepts. Reviewing Mr. Eco’s fourth novel, “Baudolino” (2000), in The New York Times, Richard Bernstein wrote that it “will make you wonder how a storyteller as crafty as Mr. Eco ended up producing a novel so formulaic and cluttered as this one.”
Set amid the religious disputes and wars of the 12th century, “Baudolino” became the best-selling hardcover novel of all time in Germany and a best seller elsewhere in the world.
Critics were kinder to Mr. Eco’s third novel, “The Island of the Day Before” (1994), in which an Italian nobleman, who cannot swim, survives on his shipwrecked vessel at a point in the tropical Pacific Ocean where the dateline divides one day from another.
“Eco has abandoned his familiar Middle Ages to create an extravagant celebration of the obsessions of the seventeenth century,” a reviewer in The New Yorker wrote, alluding to the author’s many anecdotes and explanations on the philosophy, politics and superstitions of Europe in that era.
Last fall, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt published a new Eco novel, “Numero Zero,” translated by Richard Dixon. The story, set in 1992, revolves around a ghostwriter who is pulled into an underworld of media politics and murder conspiracies, with a suggestion that Mussolini did not actually die in 1945 but lived in the shadows for decades. “This slender novel, which feels like a mere diversion compared with his more epic works, is nonetheless stuffed with ideas and energy,” John Williams wrote in The New York Times Book Review.
Mr. Eco received Italy’s highest literary award, the Premio Strega; was named a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur by the French government, and is an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
While he continued to make his scholarly peers uncomfortable with his pop culture celebrity, Mr. Eco saw no contradiction in his dual status. “I think of myself as a serious professor who, during the weekend, writes novels,” he said.

The novelist and intellectual Umberto Eco has died, aged 84, according to reports. Eco, who was perhaps best known for his 1980 work the Name of the Rose, was one of the world’s most revered literary names.
He was the 1992-3 Norton professor at Harvard and taught semiotics at Bologna University and once suggested that writing novels was a mere part-time occupation, saying: “I am a philosopher; I write novels only on the weekends.”
The Name of the Rose was Eco’s first novel but he had been publishing works for more than 20 years beforehand.
He discussed his approach to writing in an interview at a Guardian Live event in London last year. “I don’t know what the reader expects,” he said. “I think that Barbara Cartland writes what the readers expect. I think an author should write what the reader does not expect. The problem is not to ask what they need, but to change them … to produce the kind of reader you want for each story.”
Eco was born in Alessandria, in the northern Italian region of Piedmont and went to a Salesian school. He developed an interest in medieval philosophy and literature and studied the subjects at the University of Turin in the 1950s. It was around that time that the he turned his back on the Catholic church.
He went on to work for the Italian broadcaster Rai and began to lecture at his alma mater. Eco’s first book – an extension of his doctoral thesis - was published in 1956. Six years later, he married the academic Renate Ramge.

The Italian writer and philosopher Umberto Eco, best known for his novel The Name of the Rose, has died aged 84.
His family says he passed away late on Friday at his home. No further details were given.
The Name of the Rose was made into a film in 1989 starring Scottish actor Sean Connery.
Eco, who also wrote the novel Foucault's Pendulum, continued to publish new works, with Year Zero released last year.
He also wrote children's books and literary criticism.
Eco once wrote that "books always speak of other books, and every story tells a story that has already been told".
"I am a philosopher," he was quoted as saying. "I write novels only on the weekends."
Eco founded the communications department at the University of San Marino in the 1980s.
He was later professor emeritus and chairman of the Higher School of Humanities of the University of Bologna.
Eco was born in Alessandria, northern Italy, in 1932.

Umberto Eco, the revered Italian writer and philosopher best known for The Name Of The Rose, died at age 84 on Friday, Italian media reported.
Eco's death was confirmed by a statement attributed to unnamed family members given to the newspaper La Repubblica. The relatives said he died at his home, but provided no further details. Eco's U.S. publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, confirmed his death in a statement, according to NPR. HuffPost was unable to reach the publisher.
Born in in 1932 in Alessandria, Italy, Eco achieved worldwide acclaim for his work in semiotics -- the study of signs and symbols and how they are used -- and his extensive written works. As an academic, he wrote on semiotics, medieval aesthetics, linguistics and philosophy.
But it was his fiction that carried his name around the world.
"I’ve always thought of myself as a scholar who, at a certain point, began to write novels on the weekend ... in the summer," Eco told Publisher's Weekly.

Investigators studying last week's crash landing of a British Airways Boeing 777 said Wednesday they are looking closely at the possibility that the accident was caused by an interruption in the flow of jet fuel to the engines.
The cause of the Jan. 17 crash at London's Heathrow airport has not been established. Even if it is a fuel-flow interruption, that doesn't necessarily exonerate Boeing.
But this focus of the investigation seems to increase the possibility of an external cause such as contamination of jet fuel loaded before the 777 took off from Beijing.
Alternative scenarios, such as a software control-system failure, clearly would be the manufacturer's responsibility and could bring into question the safety of the airplane.
"All possible scenarios that could explain the thrust reduction and continued lack of response of the engines" are being examined, the U.K.'s Air Accidents Investigation Branch said Wednesday. "This work includes a detailed analysis and examination of the complete fuel-flow path from the aircraft tanks to the engine-fuel nozzles."
The plane, carrying 136 passengers and a crew of 16, lost power about 2 miles from touchdown at a height of 600 feet. It was the first crash in the more than a dozen years that airlines have flown the 777.
The U.K. agency leading the investigation made clear that, contrary to some initial reports, the jet's two Rolls-Royce engines did not fail at precisely the same moment, and neither failed completely.
The aircraft was approaching with the autopilot engaged when the autothrust system commanded the pilot to increase thrust from both engines.
"The engines both initially responded but after about 3 seconds the thrust of the right engine reduced," the report said. "Some eight seconds later the thrust reduced on the left engine to a similar level. ... Both engines continued to produce thrust at an engine speed above flight idle, but less than the commanded thrust."
The accident resulted in few injuries. The co-pilot was credited with heroic skill in keeping the plane aloft over nearby houses and putting it down onto the grass 1,000 feet short of the runway.
The report said that "the autothrottle and engine-control commands were performing as expected prior to, and after, the reduction in thrust," suggesting that the primary software controlling the system functioned as it should.
Singling out fuel flow suggests investigators are zeroing in either on fuel contamination — perhaps from an external fuel source or maybe from some internal leakage of other fluid into the fuel tanks — or on some leakage in a fuel line serving both engines.
After fueling in Beijing, the plane flew nonstop to London. The fuel tanks would have been low as the jet came in to land at Heathrow. A contaminant at the bottom of the tanks potentially could have blocked the fuel flow to both engines.
If that was the cause, Boeing executives, engineers and mechanics will let out a sigh of relief.
As a large, twin-engine airplane, the 777's ability to serve airlines on ultra-long-haul routes depends upon the reliability of its engines.
Engines occasionally have failed in flight for various reasons, and the affected 777s have continued flying safely on the remaining engine. No 777 has previously had two engines fail together.
Unlike a typical uncontrolled plane crash into the ground, the jet survived the crash landing largely intact, providing investigators a great deal of information on its condition. Boeing is providing technical assistance to the investigation, company spokesman Jim Proulx said.

The wreckage of the aircraft
Investigators examining the wreck of British Airways Flight 38, a Boeing 777 that crash landed short of the runway at London's Heathrow Airport in the first hull loss of a 777, are examining the aircraft's fuel system as a possible factor in the crash. No-one was killed as the scheduled flight from Beijing, China lost power during final approach on January 17.
136 passengers and 16 crew were on board when power was lost to the two Rolls-Royce engines about two miles from the runway, at a height of 600 feet. Autopilot and autothrottle were engaged at the time, the latter having just commanded an increase of thrust to the engines when power was lost. Co-pilot John Coward, in control at the time, was subsequently praised for being able to glide the disabled plane to within 1,000 feet of the runway, clearing a number of houses along the way.
Subsequent investigation has revealed that not only did the engines not fail simultaneously, but neither failed completely, contradicting initial belief. A preliminary report by the United Kingdom's Aircraft Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) stated that after the autothrottle commanded more thrust "The engines both initially responded but after about 3 seconds the thrust of the right engine reduced. Some eight seconds later the thrust reduced on the left engine to a similar level... Both engines continued to produce thrust at an engine speed above flight idle, but less than the commanded thrust." This situation prevailed until impact.

On Wednesday the AAIB stated that they were examining "All possible scenarios that could explain the thrust reduction and continued lack of response of the engines." However, it also went on to specifically mention attention to the jet's fuel system, saying "This work includes a detailed analysis and examination of the complete fuel-flow path from the aircraft tanks to the engine-fuel nozzles." The AAIB also ruled out the plane having completely run out of fuel, stating that there was "adequate fuel" in the tanks when the plane crashed. In addition to the fuel required to get to the target destination or emergency alternative airport - whichever is further - aircraft typically carry between thirty and forty-five minutes worth of extra fuel as a safety margin.
Possible scenarios being examined include fuel contamination, coming either from fuel taken on at Beijing or leakage from an unknown source. In particular, a heavy contaminant at the bottom of the tanks would explain a lack of earlier problems on the flight, as the fuel levels would only have become low in the final stages of the trip. Another possibility is that a central part of the fuel system developed a leak, reducing the amount of fuel available to the engines.
It is known that, according to the AAIB, "the autothrottle and engine-control commands were performing as expected prior to, and after, the reduction in thrust," suggesting that all software in the aircraft was functioning correctly and rendering a software failure unlikely, although this possibility also remains under investigation.

Air accident investigators probing last week’s crash of a British Airways jet at Heathrow airport said on Thursday there was “adequate fuel” on board at the time of the accident.
An important focus of the investigation had moved to a detailed examination of the “complete fuel flow path from the aircraft tanks to the engine fuel nozzles”, they said.
The 150-tonne Boeing 777 crashed short of the southern runway after a catastrophic loss of engine power in the final seconds of the flight. In the dramatic final minute of the landing approach the autothrottle had commanded an increase in thrust from both engines.
The investigators said the engines both initially responded but reduced seconds later.

BA crash-landing inquiry to focus on jet's fuel pipes
FUEL pipes on the British Airways plane which crash-landed at Heathrow Airport are to be examined by investigators, who yesterday revealed its engines were still running on impact.
The air accidents investigation branch said there would be a detailed analysis and examination of the "complete fuel flow path" from the Boeing 777's tanks to its two jet engines.
A second initial report into last week's incident, in which 13 people were injured, showed that the engines were running at reduced speed when the aircraft hit the ground.
It stated: "The engines both initially responded (to a command to increase power), but after about three seconds the thrust of the right engine reduced. Some eight seconds later the thrust reduced on the left engine… The engines did not shut down and both continued to produce thrust at an engine speed above flight idle, but less than the commanded thrust."
It added: "Recorded data indicates that an adequate fuel quantity was on board the aircraft and the auto throttle and engine control commands were performing as expected…"
Flights at Heathrow are set to return to normal today.

General Sir Richard Dannatt stepped down as head of the Army yesterday - after three years in which he battled relentlessly to improve the lot of the ordinary soldier.
Dannatt, 59, handed over to General Sir David Richards in a brief ceremony at Whitehall.
His repeated demands for better pay and conditions for troops while he was Chief of the General Staff won him the admiration of all ranks.
But it did not endear him to politicians and it has been widely reported that Gordon Brown asked him to keep quiet - a request he ignored.
One military source said yesterday: "Dannatt has a deep moral code and commitment to the welfare of soldiers.
"He may not have got the top job as head of all three services because he was so outspoken but he was a good Chief of the General Staff as far as soldiers are concerned. He leaves with his head held high."
Dannatt, a father of four and a soldier for 40 years, yesterday paid tribute to those who served under him. He said: "It has been a tremendous honour and privilege and a deeply humbling experience to lead you all for the past few years - you are truly outstanding people.
"As I march into the military sunset I do so confident that the Army's determination, professionalism and reputation remains where it should be - second to none."
Dannatt, a committed Christian, started his term as Chief of the General Staff as the Taliban began its resurgence in southern Afghanistan.
It also meant he had to take the difficult decision not to send Prince Harry to Iraq because of intelligence that insurgents would target him.
Towards the end of his term Dannatt's position was undermined by repeated briefs against him by politicians and civil servants who wanted him to stop drawing attention to MoD failings.
There was even an attempt to investigate his expenses which backfired when it revealed he had actually gone out of his way to save money.
He will now take up the ceremonial role as the 159th Constable of the Tower of London.

Dannatt, the son of an architect, joined the Army after university.
He won the Military Cross in 1973. One of his sons is a Grenadier Guard and has served in Afghanistan.
Dannatt's successor General Richards said: "I wish to thank General Sir Richard Dannatt for his leadership, dedication and courage as Chief of the General Staff and more broadly for his long and distinguished 40 year career.
"I am conscious I have a hard act to follow but I look forward to building on his legacy."
Richards is viewed as more politically aware than his predecessor and less likely to upset No10. He is the former overall commander of international forces in Afghanistan. While there he commanded American troops - making him the first senior British officer to do so since the Second World War.
CAREER
Born in Essex in 1950. After university he was commissioned into the Green Howards in 1971. He won the Military Cross for bravery in Northern Ireland and went on to serve in conflicts including the Balkans and the Gulf.
CONTROVERSY
In 2006 he said that the presence of British forces in Iraq "exacerbates the security problems for the UK worldwide". He also said: "I think history will show that the planning for what happened after the initial successful war fighting phase was poor, probably based more on optimism than sound planning."
His comments infuriated No10 but many former senior officers agreed with him.
AWARDS
Won the Military Cross in 1973 in Northern Ireland and was made a CBE in 1996. Awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in 1999.
Is also Knight Commander of Order of the Bath and Knight Grand Cross of Order of the Bath.

Dannatt in York, 2007
General Sir Richard Dannatt retired from his post as of the British yesterday, announcing General Sir as his successor.
Dannatt was regarded by many soldiers as a person to be admired, having campaigned for better pay and conditions for soldiers. It has been reported, however, that prime minister Gordon Brown does not agree with this view—politicians are thought to have disliked him drawing attention to the 's failings.
He is expected to continue his campaign for the improvement of soldiers' pay and conditions in his new role as 159th .
Dannatt has opposed the invasion of Iraq since he started his job as Chief of the General Staff, and criticised the government's post-war planning.
Richards, Dannatt's successor, said, "I wish to thank General Sir Richard Dannatt for his leadership, dedication and courage as Chief of the General Staff and more broadly for his long and distinguished 40 year career." Richards served in Afghanistan, where he was appointed overall commander of international forces, making him the first British soldier to command American troops since the Second World War.

Von den Vorwürfen im Zusammenhang mit der Finanzierung seiner Silberhochzeit wurde Funke am Freitag freigesprochen. Der ehemalige Bundeslandwirtschaftsminister Karl-Heinz Funke ist am Freitagvormittag vom Landgericht Oldenburg wegen Untreue zu einer Bewährungsstrafe von sechs Monaten und einer Geldbuße von 10.000 Euro verurteilt worden. Damit blieb das Gericht knapp unter der Forderung der Staatsanwaltschaft , diese hatte für zehn Monate Haft auf Bewährung und die Zahlung von 10.000 Euro plädiert. Verurteilt wurde Funke, der aus Varel im Landkreis Friesland stammt, weil er als Vorsteher des Wasserversorgers OOWV (Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband) unrechtmäßig das Gehalt des Geschäftsführers erhöht hatte. Von dem Vorwurf, sich die Feier zu seiner Silberhochzeit vom OOWV bezahlt haben zu lassen, wurde Funke jedoch freigesprochen.
Wegen Untreue ist Karl-Heinz Funke zu sechs Monaten auf Bewährung verurteilt worden. Im Fall einer gesponserten Silberhochzeit wurde der Ex-Minister freigesprochen.

Gericht: Funke wusste nichts von Zahlung
Es gebe keine Beweise dafür, dass Funke von der Kostenübernahme für seine Feier gewusst habe, sagte der Vorsitzende Richter Horst Kießler am Freitag in der Urteilsbegründung. Als die Affäre bekannt geworden sei, habe Funke zwar zunächst die Unwahrheit gesagt, dies jedoch kurz darauf richtiggestellt. Dem Wasserverband sei kein Schaden entstanden, da Funke das Geld zurückgezahlt habe.
Der damalige Geschäftsführer des Verbands dagegen habe sehr wohl gewusst, dass die Zahlung von 8.000 Euro für die Feier rechtswidrig war. Gegen ihn verhängte das Gericht daher eine Bewährungsstrafe von elf Monaten sowie eine Geldbuße von 20.000 Euro. Das entspricht der Forderung der Staatsanwaltschaft.
Bezüge wissentlich zu stark erhöht
Laut Gericht war sich Funke bewusst, dass er die Bezüge des OOWV-Chefs nicht so stark hätte erhöhen dürfen. Im Fall der eigenmächtigen Gehaltserhöhung bestehe am Vorsatz beider Männer kein Zweifel, so Kießler. Beide hätten gewusst, dass die höheren Bezüge nicht dem Beschluss des Vorstands des Wasserversorgers entsprochen hätten. Dieser hatte ein Bruttogehalt von rund 200.000 Euro für den OOWV-Chef vorgesehen, Funke unterschrieb aber einen Vertrag über 270.000 Euro. Dadurch sei dem OOWV ein Schaden von 90.000 Euro entstanden, sagte Kießler.
Anwalt kündigt Revision an
Karl-Heinz Funke nahm das Urteil am Vormittag äußerlich gelassen entgegen. "Der wichtigste Punkt war die Silberhochzeit, da hat es einen sehr begründeten Freispruch gegeben", sagte er nach der Verkündung. Noch ist das Urteil nicht rechtskräftig. Funkes Verteidiger kündigte an, wegen der Bewährungsstrafe im Zusammenhang mit dem Geschäftsführer-Gehalt in Revision gehen zu wollen. Ähnlich äußerte sich der Anwalt des Ex-OOWV-Geschäftsführers.

Aus der SPD ausgeschlossen
Im Zuge der Affäre hatte der kantige und nie zurückhaltende Politiker nach mehr als 40 Jahren sein SPD-Parteibuch verloren. Funke war von 1998 bis 2001 Bundeslandwirtschaftsminister im Kabinett von Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder (SPD) und zuvor acht Jahre lang niedersächsischer Landwirtschaftsminister, ebenfalls unter Schröder.

Stephan Weil will 2013 neuer niedersächsischer Ministerpräsident werden
Gegen den Osnabrücker Oberbürgermeister Boris Pistorius hat die Staatsanwaltschaft öffentliche Anklage wegen Untreue erhoben. Pistorius soll im Falle eines Wahlsiegs der SPD in niedersächsischer Innenminister werden. In der Anklage geht es um Verstöße gegen die Niedersächsische Besoldungsverordnung, die eine Zulage für besondere Leistungen bei höchstens 15 Prozent der Beamten erlaubt. In der Stadt Osnabrück soll die Summe dieser Zulagen 370.000 Euro, im Landkreis 450.000 Euro betragen haben. Pistorius und drei weitere Beschuldigte sollen die für Tarifbeschäftigte geltenden Regelungen auch bei den Beamten angewandt haben, was in der Besoldungsverordnung jedoch nicht vorgesehen sei. Ob die Anklage zur Eröffnung einer gerichtlichen Untersuchung gemäß StPO § 151 führt, steht noch nicht fest.
Über einen vergleichbaren Fall hat das Landgericht Oldenburg am 26. Oktober 2012 entschieden: Der frühere niedersächsische Landwirtschaftsminister Karl-Heinz Funke wurde wegen Untreue zu sechs Monaten Freiheitsstrafe auf Bewährung verurteilt, weil er im Jahre 2008 als Präsident des Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischen Wasserverbandes eigenmächtig das Gehalt des Geschäftsführers erhöht und dem Verband dadurch einen Schaden von 90.000 Euro zugefügt hatte.
Inzwischen wird gegen rund 40 Kommunalpolitiker ermittelt, darunter gegen den Osterholzer Landrat Jörg Mielke. Er soll Leiter der niedersächsischen Staatskanzlei werden, falls die SPD die Landtagswahl am 20. Januar 2013 gewinnt. Zu dieser Wahl tritt Stephan Weil, amtierender Oberbürgermeister von Hannover, als Spitzenkandidat für die SPD an.

Die Zulagen sollen in Form von Tankgutscheinen und anderen Sachleistungen verteilt worden seien. Mielke ist im Falle eines SPD-Sieges bei der Landtagswahl im Januar von Spitzenkandidat Stephan Weil als neuer Chef der Staatskanzlei vorgesehen. Gegen Weils Schatten-Innenminister, Osnabrücks Oberbürgermeister Boris Pistorius, hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück bereits Anklage erhoben.
Gegen 39 Kommunalpolitiker laufen Ermittlungen, unter anderem in den Städten Oldenburg, Wolfsburg, Delmenhorst und Papenburg sowie im Landkreis Aurich. Der SPD-Abgeordnete Jürgen Krogmann warf Innenminister Uwe Schünemann (CDU) vor, die Kommunen "ins offene Messer laufen gelassen" zu haben. Das Innenressort habe ungeachtet der Kenntnis über die strittige Prämien-Problematik nicht interveniert. Statt eine Klärung herbeizuführen, habe "Schünemann gekniffen" und auf das Finanzministerium verwiesen.
Das Innenressort wies die Vorwürfe zurück. Man habe immer auf die mögliche Rechtswidrigkeit der Zahlungen hingewiesen, sagte ein Sprecher. Wenn einige Kommunen den Schriftverkehr mit dem Ministerium anders interpretierten, müssten sie sich auch dafür verantworten, meinte CDU-Parlamentsgeschäftsführer Jens Nacke. Andere Städte und Kreise seien deutlich klüger gewesen und hätten die Finger von den Prämien gelassen. (hpm)

Unrechtmäßige Beamtenprämien
Osnabrück. Niedersachsens SPD-Innenministerkandidat Boris Pistorius wird von der Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück wegen des Verdachts der Untreue angeklagt.
Neben dem Osnabrücker Oberbürgermeister sollen sich auch der frühere Landrat des Landkreises Osnabrück, Manfred Hugo, und der ehemalige Erste Kreisrat Reinhold Kassing (beide CDU) sowie die Personalchefin der Stadtverwaltung Osnabrück, Karin Detert, im Zusammenhang mit der Zahlung von Leistungszulagen an Kommunalbeamte vor Gericht verantworten. Ob die Anklagen von einem Gericht zugelassen werden, ist noch unklar.
Mitte vergangenen Jahres waren die unrechtmäßigen Zahlungen von Beamtenprämien zunächst im Landkreis Osnabrück aufgeflogen . Danach gerieten eine Reihe weiterer führender Kommunalpolitiker und Spitzenbeamte aus der Region Osnabrück ins Visier der Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück wegen des Verdachts der Untreue. In ganz Niedersachsen sollen nach Angaben des Steuerzahlerbundes insgesamt mindestens 40 Kommunen zum Teil vorsätzlich gegen die Besoldungsverordnung verstoßen haben. Nach dieser Vorschrift dürfen allenfalls 15 Prozent der Kommunalbeamten für besondere Leistungen mit einer Zulage bedacht werden. Auch die Stadt und der Landkreis Osnabrück haben aber schon 2007 Regelungen eingeführt , wonach im Prinzip allen Beamten eine derartige Zulage offensteht. Allerdings sind die Gesamtprämien unterm Strich nicht höher gewesen als die größtmögliche Belohnungssumme für nur 15 Prozent der Beamten. Für Angestellte in niedersächsischen Kommunalverwaltungen ist eine leistungsorientierte Bezahlung zum Teil sogar generell vorgeschrieben.
Auf der Sünderliste stehen neben den Verantwortlichen in Stadt und Landkreis Osnabrück auch führende Kommunalpolitiker in den Samtgemeinden Bersenbrück und Artland sowie in den Städten Papenburg, Melle und Bramsche und den Gemeinden Hasbergen, Ostercappeln und Wallenhorst. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat nach eigenen Angaben aber noch nicht alle Ermittlungsverfahren abgeschlossen.
Anklage erhoben wird aber nur gegen die Verantwortlichen in der Stadt- und in der Kreisverwaltung Osnabrück. Da der Zweck der Verordnung, herausragende besondere Leistungen zu honorieren, nicht erfüllt worden sei, fehle den Zahlungen insgesamt die Rechtsgrundlage, teilte die Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück am Montag mit. Dadurch es sei ein „entsprechender Schaden entstanden“.
In der Stadt Osnabrück geht es nach Angaben der Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück um insgesamt 370000 Euro, im Landkreis Osnabrück sollen knapp 450000 Euro Beamtenprämien geflossen sein. In der Stadtverwaltung Osnabrück (einschließlich Eigenbetriebe und Jobcenter) arbeiten 2386 Menschen (Stand Ende 2011), darunter sind 430 Beamte. In der Kreisverwaltung mit gut 1000 Beschäftigten gibt es rund 350 beamtete Zulagenempfänger. Die jemals im Landkreis Osnabrück an einen Beamten ausgezahlte Höchstprämie betrug 2010 gut 600 Euro.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück betont in ihrer am Montag verbreiteten Pressemitteilung, dass die Angeschuldigten „keinen eigenen finanziellen Vorteil aus den Zahlungen hatten“. Die vier Angeklagten hätten vielmehr die für Tarifbeschäftigte geltenden Regelungen auch auf die Beamten übertragen. Angesichts der Höhe der auf die Prämien verwendeten Steuergelder hält die Anklagebehörde aber eine gerichtliche Entscheidung für erforderlich.
Wegen der Bedeutung der Sache wurde die Anklage vor dem Landgericht erhoben, das nun den Angeschuldigten Gelegenheit zur Stellungnahme geben und dann über die Eröffnung des Hauptverfahrens entscheiden wird. Ein Hauptverhandlungstermin steht noch nicht fest.

Papili Apprentis sorciers Le staff du PS de la rue de Solférino dit : « Il vaut mieux perdre une région que son âme » à l'adresse de qui ? Des habitants de ladite Région du Languedoc-Roussillon ? Des électeurs de gauche en général, ou pour se dédouaner en cas de victoire de la droite ? Quelle ineptie ! Voltaire nous a appris : « âme c'est ce qui nous anime, esprit, force ». Or s'il y a un homme qui réunit toutes ces qualités, c'est précisément Georges Frêche. C'est un bâtisseur qui a su sortir sa région de l'ombre et même avant d'être Président du Conseil Régional, en tant que Maire de la Ville de Montpellier, cette Ville est devenue célèbre grâce à son action énergique et intelligente. Ville exemplaire pour ses Universités, Hôpitaux, Ecoles, Ecoles spécifiques, la Culture, les Arts, les Sports, le Transport etc Pour la construction du Corum- Palais des Congrès et Opéra Berlioz, M. Blanc, son prédécesseur à la présidence de la Région, a fait participer cette dernière à hauteur de 0 franc. C'était un élu de droite. Alors, voyez un peu, les apprentis sorcier, je fais partie des très nombreux électeurs de gauche qui feront tout pour la victoire de G. Frêche et qui continueront à voter à gauche, à la condition que la Direction du PS cesse ses luttes intestines idiotes et retrouve une âme en symbiose avec les idéaux du peuple qu'elle est censée représenter. Vous devriez savoir qu'une guerre étayée sur le mensonge n'est plus gagnable de nos jours.
bryval Txominsago Belle déclaration d'amour et heureux d'apprendre que la région doit sa prospérité à Frêche. Tout ce qui est excessif est frappé de nullité et sous certains pseudonymes on est en droit de se demander si ce n'est pas Frêche lui même qui s'envoie des mots doux. Le ridicule ne tue plus et tout est possible.
txominsago G. Frêche est un... ... homme de gauche démocrate et républicain libre de l'hégémonie du PS. Il n'est ni antisémite, ni raciste comme voudrait le faire croire le PS, que ça arrange pour tenter de le déstabiliser. C'est pour cette raison que la droite est solidaire du PS dans ces allégations, au cas où l'UMP pourrait récupérer la région. Ce qui le différencie du PS notamment, c'est qu'il n'est pas sectaire et pas utopique. Regardez la prospérité de sa Région ! Ubuesque, parce que théâtral grâce à sa faconde, OK ! La comparaison avec Amin Dada est excessive, Frêche n'est pas un barbare sanguinaire, il n'a tué personne lui ! Il honore le paysage politique français par son franc-parler et son réalisme. Il se distingue de ses alter ego de tous bords, qui pratiquent la langue de bois, la contre-vérité et la manipulation à des fins bassement politiciennes. [...]
bryval @paul emiste Excellente idée et pour qu'ils se mettent d'accord avec leurs actes qu'ils prennent un nom comme libéral-social-démocratique. LSD est plus efficace que PS pour faire voir la vie en rose. Comme ils baignent dans le libéralisme sans le remettre en cause autant l'admettre, social car il faut compenser la bonté naturelle de l'homme qui ne pense qu'au fric et démocrate, parce que ça évite de bourrer les urnes comme à Lille. Tout à gagner.
Humano Et Valls ? Le PS sanctionne Frêche, Valls avec ses sorties sur les noirs à Evry n'est-il pas aussi condamnable ? Pourquoi ne pas l'exclure du PS ? Encore deux poids deux mesures !
Paul Emiste Laissez-moi réfléchir... Solution pour le PS... dissolution du parti, nouveau départ avec un nom digne du XXIème siècle, nouveaux cadres, nouvelles idées et surtout mentalité.
maria56 Débandade au parti socialiste M. Francois Lamy, conseiller politique de Mme Aubry, devrait se taire, au lieu de dire que quelqu'un qui a été exclu du PS nous donne des leçons de démocratie ! M Lamy lui-même ferait aussi mieux de donner des leçons de démocratie et de politesse à son homologue M. Peillon, qui a semé le trouble et critiqué M. de Carolis et Mme Chabot. Vive la débandade au parti socialiste.
Baba cool Réponse à MIMI Les Anglais et les Hollandais sont, il est vrai, beaucoup plus proches de nous que d'autres que je ne citerai pas. Tout ce qu'on leur reproche ici dans le sud, c'est de s'approprier nos villages en faisant flamber les prix de l'immobilier, et en restant entre eux, un point c'est tout ! (Personnellement je n'ai rien acheté à Londres !), mais ils ont aussi plus les moyens que nous, du moins les Znglais qui ont eu l'intelligence de refuser l'euro tout en faisant partie de l'UE. CQFD !
domino Complot au Bébête-Show parisien 80% des Français ne savaient pas, avant cette polémique, que Monsieur Laurent Fabius, notre ancien premier ministre, était de confession juive. Aujourd'hui ils le savent. Bien sûr ce n'est ni un moins, ni un plus, mais une info. Je me pose une question : et si tout ce tapage était destiné à donner cette information aux Français ? Allez savoir !

l'émile @w11 PC Fêche ne peut pas saisir la justice, mais les socialistes de sa liste le peuvent. La liste sur laquelle il figure a été investie par une convention du PS. En droit seule une autre convention ou un congrès peuvent retirer l'agrément à cette liste. On ne peut donc pas menacer les candidats PS de cette liste de les exclure du parti. Leur présence sur la liste "Frêche" a été approuvée par une convention. Seule une convention ou un congrès pourrait leur retirer cette approbation. Or c'est un bureau national qui a pris la décision de créer la liste Mandroux. la raison est simple : en bureau national, Aubry est assurée d'avoir la majorité en s'alliant avec Fabius. Dans une Convention elle ne l'a pas. En tout état de cause les colistiers PS de Frêche ne peuvent être menacés d'aucune sanction. Ils n'ont commis aucune infraction par rapport à l'investiture qu'ils ont reçue. Ceci dit, je ne crois pas que l'on en arrive là. Les électeurs trancheront. Et je crains qu'Aubry ne regrette amèrement sa tentative d'utiliser un faux prétexte pour se débarrasser, non de Frêche, qui n'est plus au parti (trop direct et encombrant), mais de 5 fédérations "royalistes" en les plaçant sous administration directe de Paris comme l'a annoncé Montebourg. Le tout dans le cadre, non des régionales et de la volonté de garder la région LR à gauche, mais de la course à l'investiture pour la candidature à la présidentielle 2012. Manifestement, Aubry et ses amis sont prêts à donner une région à la droite pour protéger leur chance d'obtenir cette investiture. Et s'ils y arrivent on peut s'attendre à une deuxième série de coups fourrés entre Aubry, Fabius et DSK. Quant aux problèmes des Français dans tout çà....!
Claire Marie Ah le pouvoir C'est quand même fou tout ce qui se passe en ce moment - Aubry ne cache plus ses ambitions présidentielles donc maintenant tout est bon pour casser tous ceux qui se trouveront sur sa route. L'axe Aubry/Fabius se confirme, quel désastre pour la gauche. On se retrouve dans l'immobilisme d'un Jospin, Hollande, avec pour gros titre "petits meutres en amis" dont le point culminant a été les présidentielles de 2007 ; tout faire pour que la gauche ne l'emporte pas et là un certain Strauss Khan n'a pas été non plus inactif. Les Francais ils n'en ont rien à faire, vous les entendez parler des problèmes de société ? surtout pas, ils sont trop occupés à se tirer dans les pattes ! Des gens comme SR, Frêche et probablement d'autes d'ici peu qui n'entrent pas dans le moule, doivent se serrer les coudes et résister car une grande majorité de militants, sympathisants de gauche, seront à leurs côtés.
WW11PC @aTys Oui, et alors ??? Il est peut-être un "monument" en histoire, mais visiblement pas en droit. Votre réponse ne répond pas à mes remarques : sous quel angle juridique M. Frêche a-t-il la prétention d'attaquer en justice le PS ??? (Je précise que je ne suis pas au PS pour autant.)
Atys à ww11pc Frêche fut mon prof d'histoire en Fac. En fin d'année je passe l'oral, "il me met 1/20." A l'oral de repêchage, il me dit "c'est mieux", et j'ai eu 2/20 ! Je ne lui en veux pas. Impossible de la lui faire. Ca ne valait pas plus. J' étais nul. Prétentieux et nul. Et lui un monument. Il était agrégé de Lettres, agrégé en Histoire et docteur en Économie, ou l'inverse. En une seconde, il évalue la personne, et il ne se trompe pas. Cela lui vaut évidemment des ennemis, surtout chez les petites et petits qui ne font pas le poids.
Soutien-Georges Les rôles inversés ! Je n'espère qu'une chose, mais de toutes mes forces : que les électeurs concernés fassent un bras d'honneur costaud, massif, aux satrapes parisiens du parti socialiste, leur montrant ainsi qu'ils sont au service des électeurs et non le contraire ! Peut-être qu'à la longue ils finiront par comprendre la fragilité de leur piedestal ? La machine doit servir l'homme et non l'inverse !
Aurore Sur l'autel de ville Ce baptême controversé est un étouffe-chrétien !
Aurore A franchement parler... Fabius n'a pas vraiment une tête de premier communiant
zicot Jugement trop hâtif ! Tout de suite c'est jugé (antisémite) mais où va-t-on ? Ce monsieur s'est servi d'une expression vieille comme le monde qui n'a aucun caractère antisémite, il sont fous ces socialistes !
l'émile exclure Ce que je ne saisis pas bien, c'est comment va faire le PS pour exclure les candidats socialistes de la liste divers gauche qu'il a investi. S'agit-il de les considérer comme des petits soldats de plomb que l'on déplace au gré des états-majors dans une sorte de kriegspiel. Les gens de gauche du LR ont exprimé clairement leur volonté. Paris veut imposer sa stratégie de conquête de la candidature à la présidentielle pour M. Aubry. C'est effectivement un bras de fer... Dont le PS aura beaucoup de mal à se remettre.

A video released by as-Sahab features an audio track that is reputedly of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, entitled "The Response Will Be What You See, Not What You Hear".
In it, bin Laden warns that the recent republication of the controversial Muhammad cartoons is more offensive than the killing of women and children and says that a "reckoning for it will be more severe."
"If there is no check in the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions," bin Laden said. In the audio, he sought to reason with the "intelligent ones" in the European Union.
In 2005, the Danish newspaper ''Jyllands-Posten'' published a series of cartoons, most of which depicted the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This eventually touched off a series of international protests and boycotts.
In February, tensions flared up again after Danish police arrested three men in an alleged plot to murder cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. Newspapers in Denmark and elsewhere in the EU republished the cartoons in a display of free speech. This was met by protests and boycotts in Muslim nations.

A jihadist Web site Wednesday posted a message from Osama bin Laden chiding the European Union for allowing newspapers to republish cartoons insulting the prophet Muhammad.
In his five-minute audio message entitled, "The Response Is What You See, Not What You Hear," bin Laden accuses Europeans of abandoning the "etiquettes of disputes and morals of fighting."
Bin Laden says he considers the reprinting of the cartoons a more serious offense than the killing of women and children. He also adds the revenge for republishing the cartoons "will be more severe."
Bin Laden concludes his message by saying if there are no checks on the Europeans' freedom to speak, then there will be no checks on his freedom to act.
This is bin Laden's first message of 2008. We last heard from bin Laden in December 2007 when he warned Sunnis in Iraq against fighting al Qaeda.

By Lin Noueihed
DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden threatened the European Union with grave punishment on Wednesday over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
In an audio recording posted on the Internet, Bin Laden said the cartoons were part of a "crusade" in which he said the Catholic Pope Benedict was involved.
The message was released on the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
The cartoons were first published by the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in September 2005 but a furor erupted only after other papers reprinted them in 2006.
At least 50 people were killed in the protests against the publication of the cartoons, which Muslims say are an affront to Islam. Newspapers which have reprinted the cartoons argue they are defending the right to media freedom.
Bin Laden's message was entitled "The Response Will Be What You See, Not What You Hear", according to the password-protected Ekhlaas Web, which carries messages and statements from al Qaeda-affiliated groups around the world.
The banner message appeared in bright red, labeled "urgent" with plain Arabic text. It carried no picture of the Saudi-born militant leader nor the insignia of al Qaeda's media arm As-Sahab, which usually releases his videos and audio tapes.
The message apparently is the first by bin Laden since November 29 when he urged European countries to end military participation with U.S. forces in the Afghan conflict. Continued...

Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
(Phone: 321/867-2468)
July 15, 2005 RELEASE: 05-186
NASA Moves Shuttle Return to Flight Later Into Launch Window
Space Shuttle managers now say the launch of NASA's Space Shuttle Return to Flight mission, STS-114, will take place no earlier than late next week. At 1 p.m. EDT today, managers officially stopped the current launch countdown for Space Shuttle Discovery at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Space Shuttle managers are optimistic that Discovery can lift off by July 31, the end of this launch window.
This weekend, managers and engineers will continue troubleshooting the problem with a liquid hydrogen low-level fuel sensor inside the External Tank. The sensor failed a routine pre-launch check during the launch countdown Wednesday, causing mission managers to postpone Discovery’s first launch attempt. A dozen teams, with hundreds of engineers across the country, are working on the issue.
Once the problem is resolved and the countdown can be restarted, it will take about four days to launch. A countdown from this point will be a complete start over at T-43 (time minus 43) hours. Currently, there are no plans to roll Discovery back from the launch pad.
For now, Commander Eileen Collins and her six Discovery crew mates will stay at Kennedy Space Center while engineers work on the solution.
The next media update from Space Shuttle managers is planned for Monday. For any developments over the weekend, media can call for a recorded message at 321/867-2525.

NASA engineers announced on Friday that the ''Discovery''s launch is being put on hold indefinitely.
"We are going forward on a day by day basis," Space Shuttle Program Deputy Manager Wayne Hale said at a press conference this afternoon. "As soon as we fix the problem, we will be four days from launch. What is that date going to be? We don't know."
Launch controllers are still optimistic about a launch in the current window of opportunity, which lasts until the end of the month. Twelve teams of engineers are working across the US in order to resolve the problem with the fuel tank sensor.
The fuel tank sensor is vital as it shuts down the main engines when fuel is exhausted - if the engines run dry, the results could be disastrous.
When the huge main fuel tank was drained on Wednesday, the sensor continued to indicate "wet" instead of "dry", but in a series of later tests the sensor began performing properly.

The death toll from Friday’s bomb attacks in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu continues to rise.
AP reports that Somali hospital and police sources say the death toll has risen to 53 with over 100 injured.
Four car bombs by Islamic extremists exploded outside a hotel in Mogadishu, Friday afternoon.
After the three explosions in front of the hotel, a fourth blast hit as medics attempted to rescue the injured.
Islamic militant group al Shabaab, which has ties to al Queda claimed responsibility for the attack.
Capt. Mohamed Hussein, a senior Somali police officer, said many of the injured suffered horrific wounds, raising fears that death toll could rise further.
Ahmed Yusuf, a nurse at Madina hospital, said that Mogadishu’s hospitals are coping to treat the influx of wounded victims who continued to come in Saturday.
Somalia has been engulfed by violence and lawlessness since dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was toppled in the early 1990s.

On Friday at about 4 p.m. local time, four car bombs detonated near Sahafi Hotel in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. About four to five armed attackers reportedly attempted to enter the hotel through a hole in the wall. The attackers were shot by police and the hotel security guards. This has resulted in the death of at least 53 people and injury of at least 100 people, Agence France-Presse news agency quoted officials on Sunday morning.
A witness, Abdiaziz Ibrahim, who was a former spokesperson for the Internal Security Ministry, said the attackers were dressed in police uniform, according to CNN. The victim count continued to rise on Saturday. According to a police official, some of the bodies were burnt and impossible to identify.
al-Shabab, a militant group in Somalia, claimed the attack. According to Reuters, they said the hotel was a "government base" where "government officials" were always present.
The owner of the hotel also died in the attack. The hotel was located in the vicinity of Somalia's Criminal Investigations Department.

More than 100 also injured after Islamic extremists detonate four bombs near busy hotel in Mogadishu
Somali hospital and police sources say the death toll from a string of bombings near a popular hotel in Mogadishu has risen to 53 with more than 100 injured.
Captain Mohamed Hussein, a senior Somali police officer, said many of the injured suffered horrific wounds, raising fears that the death toll could rise further.
Islamic extremists exploded four bombs outside the hotel in the capital, Mogadishu on Friday afternoon. After the three explosions in front of the hotel, a fourth blast hit as medics attempted to rescue the injured.
“Most of these people were civilians who were passing by the area when the attack occurred,” Abdulahi Ahmed, a Somali security official, said.

Mogadishu faces frequent bombings at the hands of al-Shabaab, an al-Qaida affiliate which has been fighting to overthrow the internationally-backed Somali government for over a decade.
Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility.
The blasts occurred near the Sahafi hotel and Criminal Investigation Division (CID) police headquarters.
“The target of the attack was the Sahafi hotel and even though the attackers used car bombs to make their way into the premises, the security forces stopped them,” said Ahmed.
“All of the four al-Shabaab attackers were killed outside” the hotel building, he said.
According to sources, the fatalities included the son of the owner of the hotel, Abdirashid Ilqeyte, who was killed in an al-Shabaab attack on the establishment in November 2015.
Al-Shabaab were forced out of the capital by African Union troops in 2011.
But they still control parts of the countryside and attack government, military, and civilian targets, seemingly at will, in Mogadishu and towns in the region.

The death toll from a triple car bombing in Somalia's capital Mogadishu has risen to 40, including seven terrorists, a senior police officer said on Saturday, with up to 50 people injured.
The death toll stood at 32 on Friday, but more civilians succumbed to their injuries by Saturday. "We have records that eight wounded civilians passed away in two different hospitals in the city," senior police officer Ali Hassan said.
Mohamed Yusuf, the director at one of those hospitals, Madina Hospital, told dpa that they had received 27 wounded people and that three of them died later from their wounds.
"Some families are searching for their loved ones because they are still missing, as several whose bodies were burned badly beyond recognition were found in civilian vehicles," Hassan said.
After the three explosions in front of the hotel, a fourth blast hit as medics attempted to rescue the injured.
Capt. Mohamed Hussein said the bombs detonated near the perimeter wall of the Sahafi Hotel, which is located across the street from the Somali Police Force's Criminal Investigations Department.
Some of the victims were burned beyond recognition when one car bomb exploded next to a minibus, he said.
"The street was crowded with people and cars, bodies were everywhere," said Hussein Nur, a shopkeeper who suffered light shrapnel injuries on his right hand. "Gunfire killed several people too."
Somali security forces shot dead four gunmen who tried to storm through a hole in the hotel's wall but did not succeed in entering, he said.
Terrorist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the bombs, according to the group's Adalus radio station.
According to the official news agency of Somalia, six of the attackers were killed by security forces, while three suicide bombers blew themselves up.
Turkey's Foreign Ministry condemned the attack on Friday.
"We strongly condemn the terrorist attacks perpetrated in Mogadishu, causing death and injury of numerous persons," the ministry said in a statement.
"We wish God's mercy upon those who lost their lives, a speedy recovery to the wounded and convey our condolences to the friendly and brotherly government and people of Somalia," the statement added.

Somali officials said police officers and hotel security guards shot and killed four militants as they attempted to burst through a hole that one of the blasts opened in a wall of the Sahafi Hotel, which is frequented by government officials and appeared to be the main target of the attacks. At least two other militants were reported killed when they detonated their suicide car bombs.

According to witnesses, the first car bomb hit the Sahafi Hotel, adjacent to the Hayat Hotel on a busy street in Mogadishu. The second car detonated on a street that lies between the Criminal Investigations Department and the Sahafi Hotel, while a third bomb exploded on another street behind the hotel.
The bombs went off just minutes after 4 p.m. when the streets were packed with pedestrians and traffic. Cars, minibuses and motorcycles were incinerated by the blasts. At least 17 people were reported injured in the explosions.
A spokesman for al-Shabab, an Islamist group linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network, said the hotel was targeted because “it acts as a government base,” the Reuters news agency reported. “Government officials and security forces are always in the hotel,” said the spokesman, Abdiasisi Abu Musab.

Among those killed was Abdifatah Abdirashid, the manager of the Sahafi Hotel, news agencies reported. He took over the hotel after his father was killed in an al-Shabab attack on the building in 2015.
Al-Shabab continues to control large parts of southern and central Somalia. It has carried out deadly attacks in the past on high-profile targets in Mogadishu and other cities and towns, including places in neighboring Kenya.
Last month, Somalia marked the anniversary of one of al-Shabab’s deadliest attacks, a 2017 truck bombing in Mogadishu in that killed more than 500 people.
Supporting Somalia’s federal government in its fight against al-Shabab is a regional peacekeeping force known as the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).

The U.N.-backed mission, with contributing troops from Uganda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya and Burundi, has been helping the Somali government strengthen its national army as part of a plan to reclaim parts of the country controlled by al-Shabab.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (CNN) -- Alvaro Colom of the center-left National Union of Hope party was declared Monday the official victor in Sunday's presidential election.
Fourteen members of Alvaro Colom's National Union of Hope party were assassinated during the campaign.
"God was with Sandrita and me," said Colom late Sunday night, referring to his wife Sandra. "Thanks to the Guatemalan people for making this civic holiday such a marvelous day."
It was the 56-year-old industrial engineer's third try for the presidency and his first to succeed.
Of the 2.7 million valid votes cast nationwide, Colom won 1.4 million (53 percent) versus 1.3 million (47 percent) for his challenger, retired Gen. Otto Perez Molina of the conservative Patriot Party, according to the nation's official Web site, which said 100 percent of the vote had been counted.
"We lost a battle, but we haven't lost the war -- the war against corruption," Perez told his supporters. "We are going to support and help with all that is correct for Guatemala, but we are also going to be disposed to be critical."
Analyst Sylvia Gereda said Colom owed his victory to support from the country's rural areas -- "the area where there is hunger, where there are necessities."
During the coming two months, Colom will put together his transition team and name his cabinet members.
Major campaign issues included policies for reducing Guatemala's high crime rate and violence and the migration of Guatemalans to the United States, where many are working illegally.
Colom, in an August 30 debate co-sponsored by CNN en Espanol and Guatemala's Channel 3, said reducing poverty would help reduce crime while Perez said he would strengthen Guatemala's police and military while getting tough with criminals.
Colom's party -- the National Union of Hope -- was hard hit by assassinations that marked Guatemala's election season. In the debate two months ago, he said the killings of 14 members of his party were "without any doubt carried out by organized crime."
Colom said the migrants to the United States are "true heroes who go there to work, not to bother anyone; they go there in search of a dream."
He said he would "build a great nation that will generate hope here in Guatemala and bring hope back to Guatemala." E-mail to a friend

Álvaro Colom Caballeros of the National Unity of Hope has assumed the title of President-Elect following the run off phase of the 2007 Guatemalan General Election, the second election since the end of the country's violent 36 year civil war. Colom, runner up in the previous election, won the Presidency with 52.23% of the second round vote after having come in first with 28.23% in the first round, defeating runner up former General Otto Perez Molina of the Patriotic Partywho claimed 23.51% in the first round and 47.24 in the second.
The election came on the heels of a sometimes violent campaign season; over 50 candidates and activists lost their lives in the time leading up to the elections, just a handful of the 5,000 to 6,000 murders estimated to take place in the country each year.
The country, listed last among Latin American nations on the UN human development index, faces issues of growing textile jobs, corruption, and a tax base inadequate to maintain basic social services.

Colom claimed victory with almost all the votes counted
With results from 95% of polling stations counted, Mr Colom had a lead of 5% over his right-wing rival Otto Perez Molina.
Mr Colom says he will try to tackle the country's high crime and murder rate by lifting people out of poverty.
Mr Perez Molina, a retired general, had favoured a tough approach.
The election, which has been marred by violence throughout the campaign, is the sixth since 1986.
Guatemalan society is still dominated by the aftermath of the country's bitter and deadly civil war, which raged for 36 years until 1996.
The violent paramilitary forces which fought the civil war were never disbanded but simply recycled and put to use by drug traffickers and money launderers, says the BBC's Latin American analyst James Painter.
The country's murder rate currently stands at about 5,000 per year, making it one of the most violent in Latin America.
Differing styles
Some 30,000 Guatemalan police were on duty on polling day, with another 20,000 international observers in the country to ward against malpractice, the Associated Press reports.
Otto Perez Molina wanted to get tough on crime
The contest between Mr Perez Molina, of the Patriotic Party, and Mr Colom, representing the National Unity of Hope (UNE), was close throughout the campaign.
In the first round of voting in September, Mr Colom won 28% of the vote, less than four points ahead of his rival.
Mr Perez Molina, 56, had pledged to take a tough line against street gangs, drug dealers and other criminals.
He wanted to deploy the army, double the number of police and bring back the death penalty to combat street violence.
Critics rounded on his approach, dubbed mano dura - or strong hand - but Mr Perez Molina insisted he would "put up a fight" against the culture of impunity in Guatemala.
Mr Colom, standing for the presidency for the third time, has said the country's corrupt police force needs cleaning up and deep social problems must be addressed.
"If you don't know the root of the problem, it is hard to solve it," Mr Colom said.

By James Painter
BBC Latin America analyst
Guatemala's 36-year-old civil war ended in 1996
Something to cheer, one would think. But the country's timid steps towards democratic rule mask a series of deep-seated problems.
Top of the list are organised crime, grim levels of public insecurity and deeply entrenched social divisions.
"'Guatemala is the saddest country in Latin America," writes a long-time observer of the region, Michael Reid, in his new book, Forgotten Continent.
He points to the "dark shadow" cast by Latin America's most brutal civil war in recent times, which left 200,000 people dead, most of them Mayan Indians.
The real power in the country, Mr Reid writes, consists in many ways of "shadowy networks linking corrupt former army officers and organised criminal gangs of drugs traffickers and money launderers".
It is a view shared by Amnesty International, who in an open letter to the presidential candidates said: "These clandestine groups openly flout the rule of law and have a knock-on effect on the administration of justice, as their freedom to act with impunity is unchallenged."
Youth gangs
Outgoing Vice-President Eduardo Stein has warned that unless something drastic is done, Guatemala runs the risk of becoming a "narco-state".
He is particularly concerned about criminal groups taking advantage of youth gangs known as "maras".
Alvaro Colom is making his third bid for the presidency
Alvaro Colom of the centre-left National Unity of Hope (UNE) party has had to spend much of the campaign denying his party's alleged links with drugs traffickers and organised crime.
In a campaign marked by mudslinging and insults, Mr Colom has accused his rival, retired Gen Otto Perez Molina, of the right-wing Patriotic Party, of sending him death threats.
Opinion polls suggest the contest is too close to call.
Curbing crime
Top of the electors' concerns is social violence. While Mr Colom tends to focus on social spending to reduce the murder rate of about 5,000 to 6,000 a year, Mr Perez Molina favours hard-line security measures known as "mano dura".
"Neither candidate has got a policy plan that is likely to make a substantial positive contribution," says Corinne Caumartin from the CRISE research centre at Oxford University.
"There's no evidence that a 'mano dura' approach has had a positive effect in other Central American countries."
Guatemala's challenges Last Latin American country on UN human development index Tax income as percentage of GDP among lowest in the world Murder rate of about 5,000 to 6,000 a year More than 30 political parties have disappeared since 1985 $3.6bn remittances in 2006, roughly equal to all exports
The UN's 2006 Human Development Index placed Guatemala last in Spanish-speaking Latin America, below Honduras, Bolivia and Nicaragua.
International financial institutions like the IMF have consistently warned that Guatemala must increase its tax base to allow the state to sustain minimum levels of social spending.
But the country's tax income as a percentage of GDP remains at around 10% - one of the lowest in the world.
Guatemala's rich, mainly white, elite is not short of resources. According to the US Department of Commerce, Guatemala has the highest per capita use of private aircraft and helicopters in Central America.
But the wealthy families who control much of the economy have been reluctant to pay more taxes, arguing the money will get lost in corruption.
Hundreds of thousands of poor Guatemalans have joined the Central American exodus to the US.
Remittances sent back to their families provide a crucial bulwark to the economy.
The country would suffer a serious balance of payments problem if it were not for the $3.6bn (£1.74bn) that came from workers abroad in 2006, approximately the same value as all Guatemala's exports that year.
Otto Perez Molina has promised a "strong fist" against crime
Parties come and go at an alarming rate. More than 30 political parties have disappeared since 1985. Three of the successful parties of the 1980s and 1990s, the Christian Democrats, the MAS (Solidarity Action Movement) and the UCN (National Union of the Centre), have virtually disappeared.
Party loyalty is often short-lived. More than 40% of the 158 deputies in Congress changed their affiliation in the life of the current parliament.
Successful presidential candidates tend to be well-financed and dependent on slick media campaigns, but short on policies.
Shortage of funds was one of the reasons why the UN Nobel peace laureate and indigenous candidate Rigoberta Menchu was the surprise big loser in the first round of the elections, winning only 3% of the vote.
Silver lining?
However, there is one bright spark on the horizon.
After months of wrangling, in August the Guatemalan Congress voted to allow the establishment of a UN-backed International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala, known as CICIG.
Vice-president Eduardo Stein has been one of those most in favour of the new body.
"CICIG will not just bring to justice certain individuals," he told the BBC, "but it will also dismantle the parallel groups which have taken over Guatemalan institutions since the civil war."
He expects CICIG's investigations to start with the National Police, the prison service, and the General Migration Service, all of which he says have been penetrated by organised crime.
"'CICIG is a step in the right direction," says researcher Corinne Caumartin.
"But one of the main obstacles remains the continuing presence of these shadowy networks within the security forces, including the army."

Brüssel (Reuters) - Die 17 Eurostaaten haben am Donnerstag eine weitreichende Selbstständigkeit von den EU-Strukturen beschlossen.
Auf dem informellem Gipfeltreffen in Brüssel einigten sich die Staats- und Regierungschefs darauf, künftig regelmäßige eigene Gipfeltreffen durchzuführen, die nicht unbedingt zusammen mit den EU-Gipfeln abgehalten werden müssen. In der Abschlusserklärung heißt es zudem, dass ein Präsident für die mindestens zweimal jährlich stattfindenden Euro-Gipfel gewählt wird. Zudem wird eine ständige Euro-Arbeitsgruppe eingerichtet, die einen hauptamtlichen Präsidenten in Brüssel erhält. Diese Gruppe soll inhaltliche Vorschläge aus der EU-Kommission erhalten.
Um zu verhindern, dass sich die Euro-Zone von den restlichen zehn EU-Mitgliedern zu weit abkoppelt, soll es einmal monatlich Treffen der Chefs des EU-Rates, der EU-Kommission und der Euro-Zone geben. Auch der Chef der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) soll dazu eingeladen werden. Die Euro-Staaten sollen die anderen zehn EU-Mitglieder umgehend von ihren Entscheidungen informieren. Zugleich wird aber betont, dass in der Euro-Zone eine immer stärkere Koordinierung der Wirtschafts- und Finanzpolitik angestrebt wird.
Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel hatte bereits am Mittwoch betont, dass sie eine Spaltung der EU ablehne, die Staaten der Euro-Zone sich aber verbindlichere Regelungen für ihre Finanzpolitik geben müssten. Dies will sie über eine EU-Vertragsänderung erreichen, der alle 27 EU-Staaten zustimmen müssen. Sollte dies - etwa wegen des Widerstands Großbritanniens - nicht möglich sein, müssten die 17 Euro-Staaten einen eigenen Vertrag beschließen, ähnlich dem Schengen-Abkommen zur Abschaffung der Grenzkontrollen.

Wichtigster Beschluss des Euro-Krisengipfels der Europäischen Union vom Mittwoch auf Donnerstag ist der Erlass von 50 Prozent der Schulden für Griechenland. Das trifft vor allem Banken und Versicherungen, die die Schuldverschreibungen (= Staatsanleihen) Griechenlands in ihren Büchern führen. Dieser Beschluss wird offenbar vom privaten Bankensektor mitgetragen, deren Spitzengremien parallel zum politischen Gipfel tagten. Dieser Entschluss des privaten Sektors kam laut Medienberichten wohl auf Druck der Staats- und Regierungschefs der Eurozone zustande. Der Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland hat einen Wert von rund 100 Milliarden Euro.
Als Hauptargument für den Schuldenschnitt gilt der Hinweis auf die wesentlich teurere Alternative: die drohende Staatspleite Griechenlands und der Zusammenbruch der europäischen Finanzmärkte mit unabsehbaren Folgen für die Weltwirtschaft. Als begleitende oder stützende Maßnahme für den privaten Bankensektor beschloss der Gipfel weiterhin die Vorschrift für die Banken, ihre Eigenkapitalvorsorge aufzustocken. Insgesamt sollen die Banken ihr Eigenkapital um 106 Milliarden Euro aufstocken. Grundlage der beschlossenen Maßnahmen ist die Aufstockung des europäischen Rettungsfonds (EFSF), der durch sogenannte Finanzhebel auf eine Billion Euro erhöht wird. Zurzeit kann der EFSF Kredite von Staaten in Höhe von 440 Milliarden Euro absichern. Als Hebel zur Aufstockung des Rettungsfonds zur Absicherung von Schuldenausfällen dient dabei die Versicherung von Staatsanleihen bestimmter Euro-Länder. Die so erhöhte Kapitalreserve soll zur Stützung bankrotter Staaten und zur Absicherung von Banken und Finanzinstituten dienen, die das Risiko der staatlichen Schuldentitel tragen.
Politisches Ziel der EU-Staaten für Griechenland ist es außerdem, den Schuldenstand des Landes auf 120 Prozent des Bruttosozialproduktes zurückzuführen. Zurzeit sind es 160 Prozent. Der Ministerpräsident Griechenlands, Giorgos Papandreou, versprach, sein Land werde ab dem Jahr 2012 keine weiteren Schulden mehr machen.
Kritiker des Beschlusses verweisen darauf, dass mit dem gestrigen Beschluss auch das Verlustrisiko für den ESFS und damit für den europäischen Steuerzahler erheblich steigen wird.
Weitere EU-Länder, die zurzeit im Fokus der Finanzmärkte als mögliche Bankrottstaaten stehen, sind Spanien und Italien, die in der Abschlusserklärung der EU-Staaten ausdrücklich für ihre den Finanzsektor konsolidierenden Maßnahmen gelobt werden. Auch Irland und Portugal seien auf einem guten Weg, heißt es in der Erklärung, die vor allem die politische Handlungsfähigkeit der Europäischen Union betont.

Brüssel/London (Reuters) - Europas Großbanken müssen sich mit gut 100 Milliarden Euro mehr Eigenkapital gegen den Sturm der Euro-Schuldenkrise wappnen.
Die EU-Staats- und Regierungschefs besiegelten auf ihrem Gipfel am Mittwochabend in Brüssel die Pflicht für die Banken, die Kernkapitalquote vorübergehend bis Mitte 2012 auf neun Prozent zu erhöhen. Die europäische Bankenaufsicht EBA erklärte in London, nach vorläufigen Berechnungen sei ein zusätzlicher Kapitalpuffer von 106 Milliarden Euro notwendig. Die EU-Staaten verpassten den Banken zudem eine bittere Pille: Bis die höhere Quote erreicht ist, müssen die Geldhäuser Dividenden und Boni einbehalten.
Die rund 60 größten Banken sollen durch die strengeren Anforderungen für den Schuldenschnitt Griechenlands gerüstet werden. Die Aufseher wollen verhindern, dass durch die Schuldenkrise eine neue Bankenkrise ausgelöst wird und am Ende die Realwirtschaft leidet, weil der Kredithahn zugedreht wird. Um Griechenlands Schuldenlast zu erleichtern, sollen die privaten Gläubigerbanken dem Land mindestens 50 Prozent der Zahlungsverpflichtungen aus seinen Staatsanleihen erlassen. Der Welt-Bankenverband IIF und EU-Unterhändler rangen stundenlang um die Höhe des Verzichts. Die Atmosphäre sei angespannt, berichtete ein Sitzungsteilnehmer. Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel und Frankreichs Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy schalteten sich in der Nacht schließlich selbst in die Verhandlungen ein, berichteten Insider.
Die Stärkung der Banken sei ein Beitrag, in der gegenwärtigen Krise für Stabilität zu sorgen und Vertrauen aufzubauen, erklärte die EBA. "Der Aufbau der Kapitalpuffer wird den Banken erlauben, eine Reihe von Schocks zu überstehen." Die größte Lücke klafft mit 30 Milliarden Euro bei den griechischen Banken, sie halten etwa die Hälfte der gut 200 Milliarden Euro ausstehender griechischer Staatsanleihen, deren Kurse in der Krise komplett einbrachen. Im EBA-Blitztest mussten die Geldhäuser den Marktwert ihrer Bestände ansetzen. Den fünf geprüften spanischen Banken brauchen 26 Milliarden Euro, italienische Geldhäuser müssen sich mit knapp 15 Milliarden Euro wappnen. Bei den französischen Instituten liegt der Bedarf bei knapp neun Milliarden. Die 13 beteiligten deutschen Banken müssen ihr Eigenkapital um gut fünf Milliarden Euro erhöhen und werden dabei weitgehend ohne Staatshilfe auskommen.
Auf das Geld der Steuerzahler soll nur zurückgegriffen werden, wenn die Banken sich das Kapital nicht selbst beschaffen können. Wenn auch hochverschuldete Regierungen keine Hilfe leisten können, weil ihre Kreditwürdigkeit dadurch in Gefahr geriete, würde im Fall von Euro-Staaten der Euro-Rettungsfonds EFSF Kredite bereitstellen. Die EU-Länder beschworen, dieses Mal anders als in der Bankenkrise nicht alle auf eigene Faust vorzugehen und den Wettbewerb dadurch zu verzerren. Doch die von EU-Kommissionspräsident Jose Manuel Barroso angekündigte europäische Lösung für alle 27 Mitgliedsstaaten kam noch nicht zustande. Die Kommission, die EBA, die Europäische Zentralbank und die Europäische Investitionsbank sollen die Möglichkeiten zu einem europäischen Instrument für Garantien oder Kapitalspritzen weiter ausloten, wie aus der Erklärung des EU-Gipfels hervorging.
Dies EBA sprach von vorläufigen Daten auf Basis der Bankbilanzen von Ende Juni, die im Lauf des kommenden Monats noch einmal auf Grundlage von Bankenangaben per Ende September aktualisiert werden sollen. Bis zum Jahresende müssen die Institute einen detaillierten Plan über die Kapitalaufstockung vorlegen. Für viele Banken bedeutet ein solcher Schuldenschnitt weitere Millionen-Abschreibungen. Die Regierungen treibt deshalb die Sorge um, dass die Banken der Wirtschaft den Kredithahn zu stark zudrehen, um höhere Risikopuffer zu erreichen. Das sollen die Aufsichtsbehörden verhindern.

Mehr Geld auftreiben, den Euro retten, die Krise beenden - die Politik setzt große Hoffnungen in die Hebelung des Rettungsschirms. Der Bundestag hat zugestimmt. Dabei gibt es auf viele Fragen noch immer keine klaren Antworten.
"Hebel frei!" lautet die Botschaft des Tages. So sollen Europas Schuldenstaaten gerettet werden, so wollen es die EU-Regierungschefs und so hat es der Bundestag am heutigen Mittwoch abgesegnet. Die Details jedoch sind vage, bei den Plänen handelt es sich lediglich um Skizzen. Verhandlungspapiere und der Entwurf des Entschließungsantrags zeigen jedoch schon jetzt: Der geplante Hebel birgt Risiken.
Bild vergrößern Mit Hilfe eines Hebels soll der Euro-Rettungsfonds EFSF mehr Geld bekommen - wie genau dies geschehen soll, wissen auch die Bundestagsabgeordneten nicht. Dennoch stimmen sie darüber ab. (© dapd)
[] Die Konstruktion Das Prinzip ist aus der Physik bekannt: Ein Hebel verstärkt eine Kraft. An den Finanzmärkten steht die Hebelwirkung für die Hoffnung, mit geringen eigenen Mitteln große Wirkung zu erzielen.Bisher standen dem Rettungsschirm effektiv 440 Milliarden Euro zur Verfügung. Damit wollen die Euro-Staaten überschuldete Mitglieder der Währungsunion unterstützen, wenn sie sich kein frisches Geld mehr am Kapitalmarkt besorgen können.
Etwa zehn Prozent der Summe sind allerdings schon ausgegeben: für Irland und Portugal. Außerdem soll das noch ausstehende zweite Hilfspaket für Griechenland von der EFSF finanziert werden. Sollte ein zusätzliches Land wie Italien oder Spanien ins Schlingern geraten, wären die EFSF-Mittel sehr schnell erschöpft. Genau das soll der Hebel nun verhindern.
Die Finanzkraft der EFSF würde dadurch gestärkt. Um wie viel, ist unklar. Eine genaue Zahl wird es nach Ansicht von Insidern auch nach dem Euro-Sondergipfel nicht geben. Es sei schlichtweg nicht möglich, dies auszurechnen, dafür seien die Modelle zu kompliziert und ihre Wirkung von zu vielen Variablen abhängig. Spekuliert wird jedoch mindestens eine Billion Euro.
[] Die Modelle Ein dreiseitiges Verhandlungspapier aus Brüssel, aber auch der gemeinsame Entschließungsantrag von Union, SPD, FDP und Grünen beschreiben zwei Modelle, wie dem Rettungsschirm mehr Geld zufließen soll.
Das erste Modell basiert auf der "Teilabsicherung": Dabei gibt ein Euro-Land neue Staatsanleihen aus. Im Falle eines Zahlungsausfalls übernimmt der Rettungsfonds die ersten zehn bis 30 Prozent des Verlusts. Es ist das Prinzip einer Teilkaskoversicherung. Für private Investoren sinkt dadurch das Risiko, der Anreiz zum Kauf der Anleihe steigt.
Das zweite Modell sieht vor, dass ein in Not geratener Staat zunächst eine Zweckgesellschaft gründet, ein sogenanntes Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Daran beteiligen sich dann sowohl die EFSF als auch Banken und Versicherungen, aber auch andere Länder und deren Staatsfonds. Gemeinsam investieren sie in die Rettung eines angeschlagenen Landes. Geht alles gut, haben alle gewonnen. Läuft es schlecht und ein Teil der Schulden muss erlassen werden, werden mit dem verbliebenen Geld zuerst die privaten Gläubiger bedient und dann erst die EFSF (First loss).
Welches Modell sich am Ende durchsetzt, ist noch unklar. Ohnehin, so steht es im Entwurf des Entschließungsantrags, pochen Deutschlands Bundestagsfraktionen - mit Ausnahme der Linken - nicht auf eine Entweder-oder-Entscheidung: "Beide Modelle schließen sich nicht gegenseitig aus", heißt es dort.
Die vorhandenen EFSF-Mittel sollen nach dem Willen der Parlamentarier "möglichst effizient eingesetzt werden". Wie das geschehen soll, steht nicht in dem Antragsentwurf. Nur so viel: Die Staats- und Regierungschefs der Euro-Zone "beabsichtigen" die Euro-Gruppe beziehungsweise die EFSF "mit der Konkretisierung von Optimierungsmodellen zur EFSF zu beauftragen".
[] Das Risiko Der Hebel ist ungefährlich, so jedenfalls lautet die Botschaft vieler Politiker. Tatsächlich ändert sich an der Kapitalausstattung der EFSF zunächst nichts, auch der deutsche Garantierahmen von 211 Milliarden Euro bleibt gleich. Das Ausfallrisiko wird nach Ansicht von Kritikern jedoch durch den Hebel erhöht. "Die Wahrscheinlichkeit wird immer größer, dass das Geld für immer verloren ist", warnte der Präsident des Ifo-Instituts Hans-Werner Sinn. Die Zustimmung des Bundestags zum Hebel-Mechanismus bedeute, dass "noch mehr gutes Geld schlechtem hinterher geworfen" werde. Die Fraktionen von Union, SPD, FDP und Grünen drücken es in ihrem Antrag etwas netter aus: Ihnen sei bewusst, dass "das Verlustrisiko sich verändern kann".
Die Angst vor unkalkulierbaren Risiken treibt mittlerweile Blüten. Einige Politiker von Union und FDP fürchten gar die Verpfändung der Goldreserven der Deutschen Bundesbank. CDU-Haushaltsexperte Norbert Brackmann sagte der Bild-Zeitung, er sehe die Gefahr, dass das deutsche Risiko beim Euro-Rettungsschirm ins Uferlose steigen könnte. "Zu Ende gedacht, bedeutet das: Deutschland müsste mit seinem gesamten Vermögen - also außer zum Beispiel Firmenbeteiligungen - auch mit den Goldreserven der Bundesbank haften."
Auch FDP-Haushaltsexperte Heinz-Peter Haustein warnte: "Unser Bundesbank-Gold ist absolut tabu." Der CSU-Politiker Peter Gauweiler betonte, die deutschen Goldreserven seien "sakrosankt".

EU: Banken verzichten auf Hälfte der Schulden
Beim EU-Krisengipfel in Brüssel haben die Staats- und Regierungschefs heute Früh ein umfassendes Paket zur Kriseneindämmung und zur Rettung des Euro beschlossen. Hauptpunkt ist ein Schuldenerlass für Griechenland. Die Banken sollen auf 50 Prozent ihrer Forderungen verzichten. Der Euro-Rettungsschirm EFSF wird auf eine Billion, also 1.000 Milliarden Euro "gehebelt".

Schuldenerlass nach politischem Druck
Es hat fast zehn Stunden gedauert und Nachdruck von oberster Stelle gebraucht. Parallel zu den Gesprächen der Staats- und Regierungschefs der Eurozone verhandelten Experten die Nacht über mit den Banken. Fünfzig Prozent Schuldennachlass für Griechenland war die Zielvorgabe der Politik. Eine Forderung, die erst erfüllt wurde, als sich die deutsche Kanzlerin Angela Merkel, der französische Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy und Luxemburgs Premier Jean-Claude Juncker selbst eingemischt haben.
Merkel: "Europäer fähig Probleme zu lösen"
Der Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland entspricht rund 100 Milliarden Euro. Freiwillig, heißt es, denn alles andere würde Staatspleite bedeuten und die Finanzmärkte wahrscheinlich in grobe Turbulenzen stürzen. Die deutsche Kanzlerin Angela Merkel ist erleichtert: "Ich glaube, dass wir Europäer heute Nacht gezeigt haben, dass wir die richtigen Schlüsse gezogen haben. Wir haben die Ursachen der Krise erkannt und benannt und die Probleme einen Schritt weit einer Lösung zugeführt."
Banken müssen Eigenkapital stark aufstocken
Zusätzlich zum Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland werden die Staats- und Regierungschef den europäischen Banken stärkere Kapitalpuffer vorschreiben, um sich besser gegen Ausfälle abzusichern. Mit 106 Milliarden Euro insgesamt sollen die Banken ihr Eigenkapital aufstocken. Auf die österreichischen Banken könnten laut der Europäischen Bankenaufsicht davon bis zu drei Milliarden entfallen. Genaue Zahlen wird es in den kommenden Tagen geben.
Eurorettungsfonds: Eine Billion Euro
Details fehlen auch noch bei der Stärkung des Eurorettungsfonds. Seine Schlagkraft wird mit einem Finanzhebel erhöht. 1000 Milliarden sollen dann zur Absicherung von Schuldenstaaten und gefährdeten Banken zur Verfügung stehen, sofern private Investoren und Staatsfonds etwa aus China mitspielen und ihr Geld in Europa anlegen. Ein guter Polster, glaubt Bundeskanzler Werner Faymann: "Das ist eine wesentliche Verstärkung des EFSF und soll eine Firewall bieten, die die Spekulation zurückdrängt, zugleich aber den Finanzmärkten Vertrauen gibt."
Abwarten
Die Staats- und Regierungschefs haben das versprochene Paket geliefert. An den Märkten wird sich entscheiden, ob es zur Stabilisierung des Euro und der europäischen Wirtschaft reicht.

Gespräch mit Hartmut Fielder, Chef der Außenpolitik im ORF-Radio
Griechenland: "Chance auf die Beine zu kommen"
Hartmut Fiedler, Chef der Radio-Außenpolitik betont, dass derzeit noch viele Details nicht bekannt seien. Positiv sei, dass die Regierungen mit Ergebnissen aus den Verhandlungen gegangen seien. Der größte Brocken sei sicherlich die Einigung mit den Banken auf einen Schulderlass für Griechenland gewesen. Griechenland werden die Hälfte der Schulden erlassen. Damit bekomme Griechenland die Chance wieder auf die Beine zu kommen, sagt Fiedler.

Wichtigster Beschluss des Euro-Krisengipfels der Europäischen Union vom Mittwoch auf Donnerstag ist der Erlass von 50 Prozent der Schulden für Griechenland. Das trifft vor allem Banken und Versicherungen, die die Schuldverschreibungen (= Staatsanleihen) Griechenlands in ihren Büchern führen. Dieser Beschluss wird offenbar vom privaten Bankensektor mitgetragen, deren Spitzengremien parallel zum politischen Gipfel tagten. Dieser Entschluss des privaten Sektors kam laut Medienberichten wohl auf Druck der Staats- und Regierungschefs der Eurozone zustande. Der Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland hat einen Wert von rund 100 Milliarden Euro.
Als Hauptargument für den Schuldenschnitt gilt der Hinweis auf die wesentlich teurere Alternative: die drohende Staatspleite Griechenlands und der Zusammenbruch der europäischen Finanzmärkte mit unabsehbaren Folgen für die Weltwirtschaft. Als begleitende oder stützende Maßnahme für den privaten Bankensektor beschloss der Gipfel weiterhin die Vorschrift für die Banken, ihre Eigenkapitalvorsorge aufzustocken. Insgesamt sollen die Banken ihr Eigenkapital um 106 Milliarden Euro aufstocken. Grundlage der beschlossenen Maßnahmen ist die Aufstockung des europäischen Rettungsfonds (EFSF), der durch sogenannte Finanzhebel auf eine Billion Euro erhöht wird. Zurzeit kann der EFSF Kredite von Staaten in Höhe von 440 Milliarden Euro absichern. Als Hebel zur Aufstockung des Rettungsfonds zur Absicherung von Schuldenausfällen dient dabei die Versicherung von Staatsanleihen bestimmter Euro-Länder. Die so erhöhte Kapitalreserve soll zur Stützung bankrotter Staaten und zur Absicherung von Banken und Finanzinstituten dienen, die das Risiko der staatlichen Schuldentitel tragen.
Politisches Ziel der EU-Staaten für Griechenland ist es außerdem, den Schuldenstand des Landes auf 120 Prozent des Bruttosozialproduktes zurückzuführen. Zurzeit sind es 160 Prozent. Der Ministerpräsident Griechenlands, Giorgos Papandreou, versprach, sein Land werde ab dem Jahr 2012 keine weiteren Schulden mehr machen.
Kritiker des Beschlusses verweisen darauf, dass mit dem gestrigen Beschluss auch das Verlustrisiko für den ESFS und damit für den europäischen Steuerzahler erheblich steigen wird.
Weitere EU-Länder, die zurzeit im Fokus der Finanzmärkte als mögliche Bankrottstaaten stehen, sind Spanien und Italien, die in der Abschlusserklärung der EU-Staaten ausdrücklich für ihre den Finanzsektor konsolidierenden Maßnahmen gelobt werden. Auch Irland und Portugal seien auf einem guten Weg, heißt es in der Erklärung, die vor allem die politische Handlungsfähigkeit der Europäischen Union betont.

Maddison Elliott has a very clear picture of what she wants to be at the London Paralympic Games. "The youngest ever [Australian] Paralympian to win a medal at the age of 13," Elliott said. Swimmer Maddison Elliott hopes to be the youngest Australian Paralympian to win a medal. Credit:Jeffrey Chan That title is held by Elizabeth Edmondson, who was 14 when she won three swimming gold medals at the Rome Games in 1964. Elliott is the youngest member of Australia's Paralympics team this year. According to Tom Davis, who is overseeing her Paralympics training, she has every chance of achieving her ambition. She will swim seven events, a gruelling schedule that includes her favourite, 100 metre butterfly, as well as 50, 100 and 400 freestyle, 200 individual medley, 100 backstroke and 4x100 freestyle relay.
"She is ranked just out of medals in about four of her events but obviously at her age they can drop huge times whereas the girls who are between 20 and 30 might only drop 10ths of seconds," said Davis, who is a former national team swimmer in New Zealand. "She's even dropped some fast times in training the last week so if she drops a couple of seconds in a race she'll be a medal chance. "She's got a huge future if she wants it because most, especially with CPs [cerebral palsy], they tend to mature a bit later and also mentally." Elliott won five gold medals at her first international event, the 2009 Youth Paralympic Games. When asked what made her such a good swimmer, Elliott said: "I do not know." However, Davis provided an answer on her behalf. "Determination," he said. "Maddy, you're pretty determined when you want to be and you like the thrill of winning, seeing first beside your name." Elliott was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was four years old. It affects the right side of her body.

Aged thirteen, Elliott is the youngest member of the , and the youngest Australian Paralympian to ever win a medal at the Games. Coming to London, accomplishing this feat was one of her personal goals. Following Elliott's Games qualification, her coach told the '''', "She is ranked just out of medals in about four of her events but obviously at her age they can drop huge times whereas the girls who are between 20 and 30 might only drop tenths of seconds."
In her other events, Maddison finished sixth in the women's 100 metres butterfly S8 event, women's 100 metres backstroke S8 event and women's 200 metres individual medley SM8 event.

Le premier ministre algérien Abdelmalek Sellal a confirmé la présence de deux Canadiens parmi le groupe qui a attaqué mercredi le complexe gazier d'In Amenas, dans le sud du pays, avant que l'armée algérienne n'intervienne en force pour les déloger.
Lors d'une conférence de presse tenue lundi matin, M. Sellal a affirmé que l'un d'eux, appelé Shadad, était responsable de coordonner l'attaque menée par les combattants islamistes, qui a fait 81 morts, dont une cinquantaine de travailleurs algériens et étrangers.
M. Sellal a précisé que Shadad s'adressait à son groupe en anglais.
Le premier ministre algérien n'a toutefois pas précisé si les Canadiens figuraient parmi les 29 militants tués lors de l'assaut des forces algériennes, ou parmi ceux qui ont été capturés vivants.
Selon ce que rapporte le collaborateur de Radio-Canada à Alger, Fayçal Métaoui, l'un de ces deux hommes était spécialisé dans la manipulation d'explosifs.
Une source des services de sécurité algériens a quant elle affirmé que des documents retrouvés sur les corps de deux présumés terroristes morts ont permis de les identifier comme étant de nationalité canadienne.
À Ottawa, le Bureau du premier ministre Stephen Harper a indiqué qu'il n'y a eu jusqu'à présent aucune communication officielle entre les gouvernements algérien et canadien au sujet de l'identité ou de la nationalité des preneurs d'otages.
Or, le ministère des Affaires étrangères avait déclaré en matinée avoir été mis au courant de la possibilité que des Canadiens figurent parmi les preneurs d'otages.
« Nous sommes au courant que des Canadiens pourraient avoir été impliqués dans la prise d'otages en Algérie. Nous suivons de près toutes les sources appropriées afin d'en apprendre davantage et nous demeurons en contact étroit avec les autorités algériennes », a expliqué une porte-parole du ministère des Affaires étrangères du Canada.
Mais Ottawa estime qu'en l'absence d'informations fiables, la découverte de faux passeports pourrait être à l'origine de la déclaration du premier ministre algérien. Des sources fédérales ont également affirmé que le gouvernement est frustré par le manque de renseignements provenant d'Algérie.

Par ailleurs, au moins trois des ravisseurs seraient toujours en fuite et activement recherchés par l'armée algérienne. Au moins trois activistes islamistes auraient aussi été capturés vivants sur le site où travaillaient 790 employés, dont 134 étrangers de 26 nationalités.
Les artificiers de l'armée algérienne poursuivaient lundi leurs recherches dans les installations et les nombreux bâtiments du complexe gazier. Selon la société d'État algérienne Sonatrach, qui gère le complexe avec la compagnie britannique BP et l'entreprise norvégienne Statoil, des mines et des engins explosifs ont été posés partout dans les installations gazières d'In Amenas.
Un lourd bilan
Selon le plus récent bilan fourni lundi matin par le premier ministre algérien, 37 étrangers de huit nationalités différentes ont trouvé la mort au cours de la prise d'otages.
Plusieurs d'entre eux ont été exécutés d'une balle dans la tête par leurs ravisseurs, a-t-il précisé, ajoutant que cinq autres personnes sont toujours portées disparues.
Le nombre total d'otages tués sur le site gazier d'In Amenas depuis mercredi dernier s'élève donc à 52, après la découverte dimanche des corps d'une trentaine d'otages supplémentaires.
En comptant les ravisseurs morts lors de l'assaut, le bilan humain est désormais de 81, selon le gouvernement algérien.
Par ailleurs, selon le premier ministre Sellal, les preneurs d'otages provenaient bel et bien du nord du Mali, comme Alger l'avait rapidement affirmé.

Outre le Canada, les terroristes islamistes provenaient d'Égypte, du Mali, du Niger, de la Mauritanie et de la Tunisie. Le commando était dirigé par un Algérien.
Le premier ministre David Cameron a annoncé que trois Britanniques et un résident du pays ont été tués dans la prise d'otages. Trois autres Britanniques sont disparus et vraisemblablement morts, a-t-il ajouté.
Le Japon a annoncé que 10 de ses ressortissants manquaient à l'appel. Neuf d'entre eux ont été exécutés dès mercredi par les ravisseurs, selon l'Agence France-Presse, qui cite deux otages algériens témoins de la scène.
Six Philippins ont été tués et quatre autres sont portés disparus, selon le gouvernement philippin, alors que la Norvège compte cinq morts, et la Malaisie, deux. Des citoyens français, américains et roumains avaient déjà été déclarés morts.

Il y aurait eu deux Canadiens parmi les preneurs d'otage d'In Amenas en Algérie.
Le premier ministre algérien a déclaré qu'il y aurait deux Canadiens parmi le groupe qui a pris en otage le complexe gazier d'In Amenas en Algérie. Il a par ailleurs indiqué que l'un d'eux serait le coordonnateur de l'attaque, s'adressant en anglais aux autres militants. De son côté, le gouvernement canadien a affirmé qu'il n'y a toujours pas eu de communication officielle entre les gouvernements algérien et canadien au sujet de la nationalité canadienne des ravisseurs. Le porte-parole du ministère des Affaires étrangères du Canada a affirmé que le gouvernement canadien demeure en communication avec l'Algérie afin d'obtenir plus de renseignements et indique qu'il peut s'agir de faux passeports puisque rien n'est confirmé pour l'instant. Il a également fait part de la frustration du gouvernement canadien quant au manque d'information et de communication de la part du gouvernement algérien. On ne sait toujours pas si ces deux Canadiens font partie du bilan des militants décédés lors de l'attaque de l'armée algérienne.

Hexalock, a developer of digital copy protection solutions, annouced today a new copy protection technology for both data and video stored on DVD recordable discs. The company released HexDVDR-Video, which protects against copying video DVDs and HexDVD-DATA, for protection of software and data.
According to Hexalock, HexDVDR-Video does not allow direct 1:1 copying of a DVD video disc, by forcing any copy program to stop or require extended time (multiple hours) to copy. Duplicating the complete DVD by file based copying is also not possible.
In addition, the software protects video titles against ripping (typically the main movie). Attempts to rip video titles will result in long ripping time (multiple hours) and distorted video, the company claims. Last but not least, HexDVDR-Video does not allow emulating the original DVD.
HexDVD-DATA does not allow duplicating of an original DVDR, making the copy useless.
The technology also applies a mass manufactured unique signature to a software/data DVD-ROM, that cannot be psysically recorded by any DVD burner/software combination.
In the scenario of copying the protected DVDR to the hard disk, the program will not work if the original DVDR is not in the drive. (Options include requiring that the original disc be in the reader every time the software is run, only the first time the software is run, or on other preset occasions.)
In addition, HexDVD-DATA does not allow reverse engineering. Algorithm theft is virtually impossible because the programs are encrypted and debugging is securely disabled, Hexalock claims.

Izraelska firma Hexalock ogłosiła wprowadzenie nowej technologii, służącej do zabezpieczenia przed kopiowaniem danych zapisanych na płytach DVD – HexDVDR-Video.
Technologię można wykorzystać zarówno do ochrony dysków z filmem wideo, jak również DVD zawierających oprogramowanie lub dane. Według zapowiedzi Hexalock, HexDVDR-Video nie zezwala na kopiowanie płyty DVD 1:1. Przy takiej próbie wymusi, aby program nagrywający przerwał operację lub spowolni jego działanie tak, że wykonanie kopii i tak będzie niemożliwe.
Ponadto, niewykonalne ma być także popularne „rippowanie” filmu, czyli zgrywanie jego zawartości na dysk komputera przez specjalny program, dedykowany do tego procesu. Pliki będą kopiowane przez wiele godzin lub zapisany obraz będzie zniekształcony. Technologia uniemożliwi również emulację DVD.
Programiści z Hexalock twierdzą, że tzw. inżynieria wsteczna, działania mające na celu zbadanie funkcjonowania algorytmów szyfrujących w HexDVDR-Video, jest niemożliwa, ponieważ system jest zakodowany.

Paul Stoddart verlässt den Formel 1 Zirkus
Am verganenen Freitag hat sich Ex-Besitzer Paul Stoddart offiziell von seinem Team verabschiedet. Seit dem 1. November heißt Minardi ganz offiziell „Squadra Toro Rosso“, das Juniorteam von Red Bull Racing. Nach 21 Jahren verschwindet das einst von Giancarlo Minardi gegründete Team aus der Formel 1, ohne Sieg, ohne Pole Position, mit einem Startplatz in der ersten Reihe und einer Führungsrunde. „Es ist alles vorbei, das Team gehört ihnen“, sagte Stoddart. „Das ist ein sehr trauriger Tag, und ich wünschte, dass es eine andere Lösung gegeben hätte.“ Doch aus finanziellen Gründen bliebe nur der Verkauf an Red Bull. „Aber ich glaube fest daran, dass der Geist der in diesem Team in den letzten 21 Jahren gebrannt hat, auch unter den neuen Besitzern weiterleben wird“, so der Australier.
Stoddarts Nachfolger als Teamchef soll der 49-jährige Österreicher Franz Tost von BMW werden, der das Team zum 1. Januar 2006 übernehmen wird. Bis dahin wird die Red Bull GmbH die Geschäfte führen. „Franz ist ein sehr erfahrener F1-Insider, der sehr gut in unser neues Team passt“, sagte Red Bull Chef Dietrich Mateschitz. „In meinen sechs Jahren bei BMW habe ich viel gelernt, besonders auf der technischen Seite, und dafür möchte ich BMW danken“, sagte Tost zu seinem Noch-Arbeitgeber. „Meine Berufung zum Teamchef bei der Squadra Toro Rosso bietet mir eine neue Herausforderung, und darauf freue ich mich.“

Paul Stoddart verlässt den Formel 1 Zirkus
Am verganenen Freitag hat sich Ex-Besitzer Paul Stoddart offiziell von seinem Team verabschiedet. Seit dem 1. November heißt Minardi ganz offiziell „Squadra Toro Rosso“, das Juniorteam von Red Bull Racing. Nach 21 Jahren verschwindet das einst von Giancarlo Minardi gegründete Team aus der Formel 1, ohne Sieg, ohne Pole Position, mit einem Startplatz in der ersten Reihe und einer Führungsrunde. „Es ist alles vorbei, das Team gehört ihnen“, sagte Stoddart. „Das ist ein sehr trauriger Tag, und ich wünschte, dass es eine andere Lösung gegeben hätte.“ Doch aus finanziellen Gründen bliebe nur der Verkauf an Red Bull. „Aber ich glaube fest daran, dass der Geist der in diesem Team in den letzten 21 Jahren gebrannt hat, auch unter den neuen Besitzern weiterleben wird“, so der Australier.
Stoddarts Nachfolger als Teamchef soll der 49-jährige Österreicher Franz Tost von BMW werden, der das Team zum 1. Januar 2006 übernehmen wird. Bis dahin wird die Red Bull GmbH die Geschäfte führen. „Franz ist ein sehr erfahrener F1-Insider, der sehr gut in unser neues Team passt“, sagte Red Bull Chef Dietrich Mateschitz. „In meinen sechs Jahren bei BMW habe ich viel gelernt, besonders auf der technischen Seite, und dafür möchte ich BMW danken“, sagte Tost zu seinem Noch-Arbeitgeber. „Meine Berufung zum Teamchef bei der Squadra Toro Rosso bietet mir eine neue Herausforderung, und darauf freue ich mich.“

Vladímir Putin, esta mañana durante un acto con jóvenes deportistas en el Palcio de Deportes Megasport de Moscú. ALEXEI NIKOLSKY (AP) Reuters-Quality
El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, de 65 años, ha anunciado este miércoles que buscará la reelección en las presidenciales que se celebran en marzo de 2018, informa Reuters. "Voy a presentar mi candidatura al puesto de presidente de la Federación Rusa", afirmó Putin en un mitin-concierto con obreros con motivo del aniversario de una fábrica de coches en la ciudad de Nizhni Nóvgorod, retransmitido en directo por televisión. En caso de ganar, estaría al frente de la presidencia hasta 2024.
Putin había participado por la mañana en un acto con jóvenes en Moscú, donde le reclamaron que optara a la reelección para un cuarto mandato. En ese acto dijo: "Me doy cuenta de que la decisión debe tomarse en breve y será tomada en breve. El motivo para tomar la decisión puede ser solo el deseo de mejorar la vida de la gente en nuestro país y hacerlo más fuerte". Pero dejó el anuncio para poco más tarde.
Rusia celebra elecciones presidenciales el próximo mes de marzo y está previsto que la campaña electoral arranque este mes. Hace unos días, el primer ministro y líder de Rusia Unida, Dimitri Medvedev, había asegurado que el partido gobernante apoyaría a Putin en caso de que optara por la reelección.
A sus 65 años, Putin ha sido presidente de Rusia desde el año 2000, con un breve lapso entre 2008 y 2012 en que fue primer ministro. Todo apunta a que ganará con comodidad, puesto que goza de un amplio respaldo en los sondeos, cercano al 80%, informa France Presse.
En caso de su victoria en las elecciones, que fueron aplazadas hasta el 18 de marzo para hacerlas coincidir con el cuarto aniversario de la anexión de Crimea, Putin gobernaría hasta 2024, ya que una reforma constitucional prolongó el mandato presidencial de cuatro a seis años.

El presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, ha anunciado que volverá concurrir a las elecciones presidenciales, que se celebran en marzo del año que viene. "Presentaré mi candidatura para el cargo de presidente de la presidencia rusa", ha dicho Putin durante un acto en homenaje al 85 aniversario de la fábrica de automóviles Gorky en Nizhny Novgorod.
En otro acto durante el día de hoy un presentador le preguntó a Putin si el presidente buscaría la reelección en marzo. "Mi pregunta para vosotros es: si tomo tal decisión, ¿ustedes y otras personas como ustedes apoyarán esta decisión?", respondió el líder ruso. Los asistentes que había en la sala MegaSport, donde se celebraba un forum sobre el voluntariado, respondieron gritando: "Síiii". Putin las despidió diciendo que se decidiría pronto y que tendría en cuenta ese apoyo.
Las encuestas de opinión le auguran una cómoda victoria. Pero la tardanza de Putin en anunciar su candidatura ha sido en las últimas semanas motivo de comentarios sobre si estaba cansado del puesto o preparaba una sorpresa.
"Rusia va a seguir adelante y nadie podrá detenerla", ha añadido Putin, que en el año 2000 fue elegido presidente de Rusia por primera vez. En 2004 se presentó por segunda vez en calidad de candidato independiente. En 2012 lo eligió como candidato su partido, Rusia Unida, y volvió al Kremlin tras haber 'cedido' la presidencia a Dimitri Medvedev en 2008.
Las elecciones del año que viene han sido estratégicamente colocadas el 18 de marzo para hacerlas coincidir con el cuarto aniversario de la anexión de Crimea. Si gana, Putin gobernaría hasta 2024, gracias a una reforma constitucional alargó el mandato presidencial de cuatro a seis años.
El presidente ruso ha aprovechado el acto de hoy para cantar victoria en la guerra de Siria. "El ministro de Defensa ha informado que las operaciones en las orillas occidental y oriental del Éufrates han concluido con una derrota rotunda de los terroristas", ha dicho Putin. "Todavía puede haber focos de resistencia, pero en general, la ofensiva en esta etapa y en esta zona ha terminado", ha concluido.

A few weeks ago, a copy of Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part II was leaked on to the internet. It was not a video taped copy, like you normally find on canal street or the torrent sites. It was an unfinished production screener missing some visual and sound effects (and may-be even a scene or two depending on who you read). But all in all, it was supposedly a very watchable copy of the film. But this was enough to cost the film an estimated $5 to $10 million at the box office.
And tonight I returned home from Sacramento, the state capital of California, where Michael Moore premiered Sicko in two separate screenings. One to politicians, the other to nurses. Even Michael told the crowd that this was one of the first public screenings of the film in the United States (the film was shown at Cannes a couple weeks back). And yet I returned home to find more than website claiming to have a complete version of Sicko. How could this be? Already? Yup. As it turns out, somehow a screener of Sicko has also been leaked online, weeks before it’s nationwide release on June 29th. This is the second Lionsgate film in the last month that has found its way onto the internet before being released. I’m not pointing fingers, but this is a huge problem.
But more interesting is Moore’s stance on the issue of downloading movies and copyright laws:
Well, I don’t agree with the copyright laws and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people. As long they’re not doing it to make a profit off it, as long as they’re not, you know, trying to make a profit off my labor. I would oppose that. But um, you know I do quite well and I um…I don’t know, I make these books and movies and TV shows because I want things to change, so the more people that get to see them the better, and um, so I’m, I’m happy when that happens, OK? Should I not be happy I don’t know? It’s like if a friend of yours has the DVD of my movie, gave it to you to watch one night, is that person doing something wrong? I’m not seeing any money from that. But he’s just handing the DVD to you so that you can watch my movie. A DVD that he bought, but you’re not buying it, yet you’re watching it without paying me any money. See I think that’s OK, and it’s always been OK, we share things with people. And I think information and art, ideas should be shared.
I wonder if Moore regrets ever saying that?
The truth is that I hope Sicko does well. It deserves to beat Die Hard 4 and Ratatouille. I’ve seen the movie, and it’s the best movie of the year so far. It’s funny, emotional informative and moving. It’s everything that a great documentary should be. And I think many people will say this is Moore’s best film to date (although, I’d argue for Columbine). But the studio will not be able to contain the leaked film. There is no way this won’t hurt that film’s bottom line. And it’s a shame.

Publicity poster for the movie
A number of reports confirm that Michael Moore's forthcoming documentary has been leaked onto Peer-to-peer networks. This is the second pre-release leak in a month of a film from Lionsgate Studios.
The movie, ''SiCKO'' contrasts the U.S. healthcare system with that of several other countries and includes a trip to Cuba for which Moore is being investigated. The investigation by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the United States Department of the Treasury is looking into whether Moore has violated United States embargo against Cuba, which has been in effect since 1962 and codified in 1992.
Moore has, according to agency reports, stored a copy of the original film in Canada as a result of the Federal investigation by the Treasury department. His concern is that an attempt may be made to confiscate the section of the film shot in Cuba.
According to ''Associated Press'', David Boies, attorney for Michael Moore, believes the targeting of Moore for his unauthorised trip to Cuba may be the result of the criticism of the current administration in such films as ''Fahrenheit 9/11''.
Tuesday Moore was seen at two pre-release screenings of the movie in Sacramento, California. His audiences were a group of politicians and a number of nurses, each attending their own screening.
The movie opens with a cold statistic that approximately 45 million Americans are without healthcare insurance. It continues by giving examples of people with healthcare insurance who have been denied all or part of their treatment for technical reasons. As well as getting thousands of responses from people who had problems with their insurance he received information from people working inside Health maintenance organizations and ex-employees who claim the system is set up to provide the minimum care and the maximum profit to the company.
The segment of the film that triggered the Federal investigation is his trip to Cuba with a number of people who relate their experiences with healthcare. Among these are several volunteer workers who worked at ground zero following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. These people claim to have been refused aid from the fund set up for 9/11 workers and were thus unable to afford their required treatment. After an attempt to obtain treatment at Guantanamo Bay detention facility - which Moore described as the only place on U.S. soil where there is "socialised medicine" - they seek out a hospital in Havana. All are checked and treated free of charge. One woman discovers that an inhaler for her respiratory problems costs approximately five cents in Cuba compared to 120 dollars in the U.S.
Health insurance companies, speaking through their trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), are critical of the film, which calls for healthcare similar to that of Canada, France, or the UK. "We need a uniquely American solution in which the public and private sectors work together to make sure that everyone has high-quality, affordable healthcare," said Karen Ignagni, president of AHIP, on Wednesday.
The film is scheduled for wide release in the U.S. and Canada on June 29, 2007.

WASHINGTON, June 13 (UPI) -- Insurance companies Wednesday criticized filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary, "Sicko," a scathing critique of the U.S. healthcare system.
"We need a uniquely American solution in which the public and private sectors work together to make sure that everyone has high-quality, affordable healthcare," said Karen Ignagni, president and chief executive officer of America's Health Insurance Plans, the largest trade group representing the health insurance industry.
In the film, controversial director Moore, among other things, takes rescue workers sickened after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to Cuba for treatment to draw attention to the plight of the uninsured.
At a rally in California this week, Moore called for a Canadian-style system of universal healthcare where the government provides insurance, but services are privately provided.
But insurers said the U.S. and state governments should create a better plan for universal coverage that avoids the pitfalls of the Canadian system.
"Washington and the states should take immediate action to ensure that every American has healthcare coverage," Ignagni said. But "the American people do not support a government takeover of the entire healthcare system because they know that means long waits for rationed care."

Lawyer: Federal probe over Moore's "Sicko" may be discriminatory
There have been 1 comments posted

Last Updated: 8:38 AM Jun 13, 2007
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Filmmaker Michael Moore says his criticism of the Bush administration may have prompted the federal probe into his trip to Cuba for his health-care documentary, "Sicko." He says the government may try to confiscate part of that film.
Attorney David Boies says in his letter to a Treasury Department division that Moore may have been targeted because of his harsh indictment of President Bush in such works as "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Boies is requesting information on who participated in making the decision to send Moore a letter saying he was under investigation for possible violations of the U-S trade embargo restricting travel to Cuba.
Moore went to Cuba in March to obtain health care for three ailing Nine-Eleven rescue workers. He claims in "Sicko" that the U-S government had left the workers to fend for themselves against ailments that resulted from their work at ground zero.

TORONTO – Le meurtrier et agresseur sexuel Russell Williams est parvenu à un règlement hors cour avec certaines de ses victimes.
L’avocat de l’une des victimes d’agression sexuelle et la famille de l’une des victimes de meurtre de l’ex-militaire ont fait savoir que des ententes financières avaient été conclues «à la satisfaction mutuelle de toutes les parties».
Dans une déclaration transmise mardi par communiqué, Me Michael Pretsell mentionne que les poursuites engagées au nom de la première victime d’agression sexuelle de Russell Williams, «Jane Doe», et la famille de Jessica Loyd, tuée par l’ancien militaire, sont désormais terminées.
Les clients de l’avocat ont également intenté des poursuites contre la femme de Williams, Mary Elizabeth Harriman, en alléguant que son mari lui aurait secrètement et frauduleusement transféré des biens en mars 2010, après que Russell Williams eut été accusé au criminel, y compris leur résidence d’Ottawa.
Mme Harriman a vigoureusement nié ces allégations, et Me Pretsell précise que les poursuites la visant ont été abandonnées.
Russell Williams, autrefois une étoile montante des Forces canadiennes à la base de Trenton, dans l’est de l’Ontario, a été condamné à la prison à vie en octobre 2010, après avoir plaidé coupable du meurtre de Mme Loyd et de la caporale Marie-France Comeau.
Les avocats de Williams et des victimes n’ont pas pu être joints pour commenter l’annonce. L’avocate de Mme Harriman est en vacances, mais son bureau a fait savoir qu’elle ne désirait pas commenter l’abandon des procédures.
Une autre poursuite, intentée contre l’ex-militaire par une autre victime d’agression sexuelle, Laurie Massicotte, est toujours en cours.
Cette dernière, qui a choisi de révéler son identité et de parler publiquement de son calvaire, réclame près de 7 millions $ à Russell Williams. Elle affirme que l’attaque l’a laissée craintive, humiliée, déprimée, suicidaire et incapable de fonctionner en société, et qu’elle doit maintenant suivre une longue thérapie.

Thirty-nine new species of endemic cockroach discovered in the southwestern US and Mexico
IMAGE: This image shows sexual dimorphism in Arenivaga; adult male on left, adult female on right.
Click here for more information.
A genus of cockroach in the poorly studied family Corydiidae has been revised for the first time since 1920. The revision has resulted in the discovery and description of 39 new species of Arenivaga, a genus which previously held nine species. The Corydiidae family of roaches is found worldwide and its constituents are frequently found in harsh, dry habitats not usually associated with cockroaches. They are also often subterranean in their habits making their presence easily overlooked.
The study was completed over a four-year period by Heidi Hopkins, who is a cockroach taxonomic specialist and PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico, Museum of Southwestern Biology, in Albuquerque, NM. Her results have been published in the open access journal ZooKeys.
'The extent of the radiation of this genus is quite surprising', said Hopkins. 'These animals have remarkable adaptations that allow them to succeed in some of the harshest places on earth. I suspect that the thorough application of modern collection methods would reveal many more species of Arenivaga across Mexico, and many more species of Corydiidae in the deserts and dry places of the rest of the world.'
Arenivaga, also known as desert or sand cockroaches, are dramatically sexually dimorphic, meaning that the females look nothing like the males. This makes the association of female specimens of a species with male specimens of the same species very difficult. Hopkins' work is based on male specimens only, and species are separated from one another by characters of the genitalia, which are incredibly complex.

'The order Blattodea (cockroaches) which includes termites, comprise some of the earth's greatest decomposers. They are the planet's recyclers and clearly they have a role to play even in terrain with very little plant matter requiring decomposition. We can no longer think of cockroaches as creatures restricted to the moisture of the tropics.'
Hopkins has great admiration and passion for cockroaches. She will continue her work by beginning a revision of the poorly understood family Corydiidae during her post doc at Rutgers University in Newark, NJ.

Heidi Hopkins, a taxonomic researcher and PhD candidate at the Museum of Southwestern Biology of the , in , , , conducted a four-year study revising the genus of cockroaches, discovering 39 new species in the genus previously thought to contain 9 species. journal published her findings Wednesday.
The study involved examining over 5200 specimens from universities and collections throughout the United States. The researcher had to dissect the specimens' genitalia to accurately distinguish the species as their external features were often not enough for identification. Hopkins was advised by Dr Kelly Miller during the investigation.
The species are also sexually , making morphological association of females with males a challenge. The researcher published a key for adult males in the genus.
The study revealed a vaster distribution area than was previously thought, including additional regions in Southern US and over a half of Mexico.
Hopkins remarked about potential of further studies of the genus and , its parent family, "The extent of the radiation of this genus is quite surprising. These animals have remarkable adaptations that allow them to succeed in some of the harshest places on earth. I suspect that the thorough application of modern collection methods would reveal many more species of Arenivaga across Mexico, and many more species of Corydiidae in the deserts and dry places of the rest of the world."
The study was a first revisit of the genus since 1920 with only one new species discovered since then. The study was supported by grants from , , , and University of New Mexico.

Thirty-nine new species of endemic cockroach have been discovered in the southwestern US and Mexico.
Taxonomy of the family Corydiidae has been revised for the first time since 1920 after the discovery and description of 39 new species of Arenivaga. It was originally believed to contain nine species.
The Corydiidae family of roaches is found worldwide and unlike their relatives can inhabit harsh, dry habitats and are often subterranean.
Findings of the four-year study by Heidi Hopkins, a cockroach taxonomy specialist and PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico were published in the open access journal ZooKeys.
Hopkins said: "The extent of the radiation of this genus is quite surprising. These animals have remarkable adaptations that allow them to succeed in some of the harshest places on earth.

Arenivaga, which also known as desert or sand cockroaches, are sexually dimorphic, meaning that the females look nothing like the males. This makes the association of female specimens of a species with male specimens of the same species very difficult.
Hopkins researched male specimens only.

They are the planet's recyclers and clearly they have a role to play even in terrain with very little plant matter requiring decomposition. We can no longer think of cockroaches as creatures restricted to the moisture of the tropics."
In December, a new, cold-weather cockroach species able to withstand extremely low temperatures was discovered in Manhattan. Periplaneta japonica was discovered in New York's elevated High Line park. Of the estimated 4,500 cockroach species in the world, 55 are found in the United States.

A group of University of Colorado-Boulder researchers has detected a ring of "moonlets," which they say are most likely fragments of a larger, shattered moon, floating in Saturn's outermost ring.
Using images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, the scientists observed a series of small, propeller-like disturbances in the material of the large outer ring, which is largely composed of ice particle. They believe that the data indicates the presence of thousands of fragments, ranging from the size of semi truck trailers to sports arenas, in a narrow band about 2000 miles across.
"This is the first evidence of a moonlet belt in any of Saturn's rings," said (Research Associate Miodrag) Sremcevic of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. "We have firmly established these moonlets exist in a relatively narrow region of the "A" ring, and the evidence indicates they are remnants of a larger moon that was shattered by a meteoroid or comet."
The researchers believe that the fragments may have come from a small moon about the size of Pan, Saturn's innermost moon, which measures just 20 miles across.

The largest propeller seen here is noted in the white dashed box, and it indicates the presence of a 150-meter (490-foot) moonlet.
Scientists say that floating inside Saturn's rings are pieces of what they believe to be a "shattered moon," according to images captured by NASA's spacecraft Cassini–Huygens.
The scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder looked at the images which were captured in 2004, and found what they call "moonlets" or large pieces ranging from the size of a stadium to a semi truck, of what they say are the remains of a large moon which was likely destroyed when a comet or asteroid slammed into it.

The Cassini spacecraft captures eight new propeller-like features within Saturn's A ring in what may be the propeller "hot zone" of Saturn's rings. Propeller features form around small moonlets that are not massive enough to clear out ring material, but are still able to pull smaller ring particles into a shape reminiscent of an airplane propeller. Scientists believe that propellers represent moonlet wakes, which are denser than the surrounding ring material and appear bright in the images. The length of the belt in which the moonlets were discovered is almost 2,000 miles long.
Scientists estimate that the size of the moon was relative to the size of Pan, the innermost moon of Saturn. It only measures 20 miles wide at its widest point.

Propeller Belt
10.24.07
The Cassini spacecraft captures eight new propeller-like features within Saturn's A ring in what may be the propeller "hot zone" of Saturn's rings.
Propeller features form around small moonlets that are not massive enough to clear out ring material, but are still able to pull smaller ring particles into a shape reminiscent of an airplane propeller. Scientists believe that propellers represent moonlet wakes, which are denser than the surrounding ring material and appear bright in the images.
Propellers were first discovered in Cassini images taken during Saturn orbit insertion in 2004. This new image is from a more extensive study of the full A ring and provides evidence that these features are not distributed evenly as previously thought, but are instead grouped in a 3,000 kilometer-wide (1,860 mile) propeller belt.
This image shows four new propellers and was put together from images in the Planetary Data System, a web site which archives and distributes scientific data from NASA planetary missions. The largest propeller seen here is noted in the white dashed box, and it indicates the presence of a 150-meter (490-foot) moonlet. The size is inferred from the radial separation of the propeller wings. The propeller is seen in another image and is shown in the upper left box. The reappearance of the propellers clearly demonstrates the orbital motion of the propellers. The region enclosed in the red box is zoomed and shown in the top panel of PIA10080. Three additional propellers are noted with white dashed circles on the right. Very bright and round spots are artifacts. But some of the bright elongated and non-saturated streaks could be smaller propellers that are not resolved in the image.
This view is made up of two images from a set of 26 images with a complete radial coverage of the A ring and part of the Cassini division taken during an occultation of the star Antares (alpha Scorpii; brightest spot on top) on Aug. 20, 2005.
In this clear filter image, the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera observed the unlit side of the rings, with a phase angle of 126 degrees. The images were taken at 1 minute intervals with 0.05 seconds exposure time. Image resolution is 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL.

Presja wywierana przez człowieka na Morze Bałtyckie może w niedalekiej przyszłości doprowadzić do nieodwracalnych zmian. Zapobiegać im miały działania wynikające m.in. z prawa Unii Europejskiej, które zobowiązało nas do osiągnięcia dobrego stanu środowiska Morza Bałtyckiego do roku 2020. Celu nie osiągnięto, a sytuacja Bałtyku się pogarsza.
Dlatego to ochrona Morza Bałtyckiego stała się tematem polskiej edycji globalnej akcji Godzina dla Ziemi WWF, największej ekologicznej inicjatywy na świecie. Co roku bierze w niej udział ok. 180 państw na 7 kontynentach. Akcja od lat inspiruje do działania z przekazem, że warto walczyć o nasz dom – Ziemię.
Celem tegorocznej Godziny dla Ziemi WWF jest ochrona środowiska Morza Bałtyckiego i zwiększenie świadomości na temat jego zagrożeń. Na stronie godzinadlaziemi.pl można podpisywać petycję skierowaną w tej sprawie do premiera.
Bałtyk umiera, a jego mieszkańcy znikają
Na naszych oczach odgrywa się walka mieszkańców morza o przetrwanie. Intensywne rolnictwo, lata nadmiernych połowów, zanieczyszczenie wód doprowadziły do znaczących zniszczeń środowiska naturalnego. Bałtyk ze względu na swoją specyfikę, zamkniętego akwenu położonego w głębi kontynentu, jest morzem bardzo wrażliwym, a wymiana wody następuje w nim wolno. Obecnie do największych problemów, z jakimi mierzy się Morze Bałtyckie, należą brak zrównoważonego rybołówstwa, martwe strefy – przydenne obszary całkowicie pozbawione tlenu, sieci widmo – zagubione lub w inny sposób utracone narzędzia połowowe, które dryfują w morzu i wciąż łowią, niefunkcjonalne morskie obszary chronione.
Nadal mają miejsce nielegalne połowy ryb na Morzu Bałtyckim oraz stosowane są praktyki połowowe o negatywnym wpływie na środowisko przyrodnicze Bałtyku, w tym na gatunki chronione i zagrożone (np. ptaki i ssaki morskie). Dlatego przygotowana przez WWF petycja do Premiera RP, przedstawia problemy, proponuje rekomendacje i gotowe rozwiązania z apelem o natychmiastowe wdrożenie regulacji, które umożliwią lepszą ochronę naszego morza. Dla Bałtyku jest to ostatnia szansa na ratunek.
WWF Polska, Anna Sosnowska mówi: - Kondycja Bałtyku jest bardzo słaba. Dlatego apelujemy do polityków o wypełnienie zobowiązań i zapewnienie ratunku dla ekosystemu Morza Bałtyckiego. Nie tylko dla morskiej fauny i flory, ale też dla lokalnych społeczności, w tym rybaków, których morze utrzymuje i dla wszystkich, którzy kochają odwiedzać Bałtyk i na jego wybrzeżu tworzyć nowe wspomnienia.
Dla każdego ziarenka piasku, w każdym zamku. Działajmy w imię tego, co kochamy
- A co jeśli Bałtyk, jaki pamiętamy, zobaczymy już tylko w muzeum? - słyszymy głos Huberta Urbańskiego, w spocie nagłaśniającym akcję, który przenosi nas do wirtualnej przestrzeni wyobrażonego, osadzonego w przyszłości muzeum, w którym wystawione są eksponaty związane z Bałtykiem. W tle słyszymy refren niezapomnianego przeboju Ireny Santor „Już nie ma dzikich plaż”. Na wykreowanych w technologii 3D rzeźbach takich jak: muszla sercówki, morświn, dorsz, kuter rybacki, czy zamek z piasku widzimy fragmenty materiałów filmowych pełnych wspomnień sprzed dekad, nakręconych nad polskim morzem.
Wspominamy wspólnie to, co najlepiej kojarzy nam się z Bałtykiem: zachody słońca, skakanie po falach, zabawy w piasku i zbieranie muszli, ale i malowniczy widok
kutrów rybackich na morzu. Filmowa opowieść łączy sentymentalne obrazy z dawnych lat z przepełnionym smutkiem scenariuszem przyszłości. Wirtualne muzeum Bałtyku jest bowiem ostrzeżeniem – jeśli działania na rzecz ochrony naszego morza nie zostaną pilnie podjęte, to Bałtyk, jaki pamiętamy, przestanie istnieć. Pozostanie już tylko w naszej pamięci i na archiwalnych filmach i fotografiach. Dlatego trzeba działać, póki jeszcze mamy czas. Tym emocjonalnym przekazem Fundacja WWF Polska chce zmobilizować Polki i Polaków do podpisania na stronie godzinadlaziemi.pl petycji, skierowanej do Premiera RP Mateusza Morawieckiego, mającej na celu ocalenie ekosystemu Bałtyku.
Hubert Urbański tak wypowiada się o swoich motywacjach do wsparcia akcji:
"Degradujemy środowisko naturalne, w którym żyjemy w sposób niepohamowany i bezrefleksyjny. Najwyższy czas przestać udawać, że efekty takiego postępowania ominą nas bokiem. Całym sercem popieram akcję ratowania Morza Bałtyckiego. To nie tylko środowisko, które mamy do ocalenia, to również suma naszych przeżyć, które nas definiują i do których cały czas wracamy".
Czas płynie, dołącz do akcji Godzina dla Ziemi WWF i podpisz petycję
Na finał akcji Godzina Dla Ziemi WWF, 27 marca o 20:30 w symbolicznym geście solidarności z przyrodą i planetą, na całym świecie zgasną światła. Wyłączamy światło na godzinę zarówno w domach, jak i obiektach publicznych - zabytkach, budynkach rządowych, obiektach miejskich i komercyjnych.
Przez cały marzec trwa również akcja na Instagramie, w której każdy może podzielić się sentymentalnym zdjęciem znad Bałtyku, oznaczając je #godzinadlabałtyku i @wwfpolska, zachęcając innych do podpisania petycji.

'''27 marca 2021 roku o godzinie 20:30 w ramach akcji Godzina dla Ziemi zgasną światła na domach i budynkach publicznych na całym świecie. W Polsce akcja toczy się pod hasłem „Godzina dla Bałtyku”.'''
To czternasta edycja Godziny dla Ziemi organizowanej przez . Pierwsza taka akcja miała miejsce w 2007 roku, od tego czasu odbywa się w każdą ostatnią sobotę marca. Godzina dla Ziemi ma na celu zwrócenie uwagi na problem nadmiernego zużycia energii, i związanego z tym zanieczyszczaniem środowiska.
W tym roku akcja w Polsce odbędzie się pod hasłem „Godzina dla Bałtyku”. WWF Polska chce zwrócić uwagę na problemy ekologiczne, z jakimi zmaga się Morze Bałtyckie – niezrównoważone rybołówstwo, połowy nielegalne i na zagrożone gatunki, a także martwe strefy i sieci widmo. Fundacja apeluje do rządu o działania w tej sprawie oraz zachęca do wzięcia udziału w akcji.
W internecie pojawiały się informacje, jakoby nagły spadek, a następnie nagły wzrost poboru energii podczas Godziny dla Ziemi miało być zagrożeniem dla krajowego systemu energetycznego. Rzeczniczka Polskich Sieci Elektroenergetycznych Beata Jarosz-Dziekanowska zapewnia, że te informacje są fałszywe, a dane z poprzednich lat wskazują, że spadek jest niewielki i nie różni się od prognoz długoterminowych, a akcja ma charakter symboliczny.
