The epicentre of the quake according to USGS (Source: NASA Worldwind).
The United Kingdom was hit by a minor earthquake on February 27, 2008 at 00:56:45 UTC. Tremors were reported as wide spread as Edinburgh, Manchester, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Cambridge, London, Birmingham and Southampton.
The epicentre appears to be in the East Midlands region, 15 miles north-east of Lincoln co-ordinates 53.321°N, 0.314°W, with a magnitude of 4.9 according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, 5.0 according to the GFZ Potsdam, 4.7 according to USGS, and 5.2 according to the British Geological Survey.
As such it was similar or stronger than the 2002 earthquake centred on Dudley which was recorded as being 4.8 and caused damage to buildings.
There was also an aftershock at about 0400 GMT reaching 1.8 on the Richter Scale.
It has been reported that a number of buildings have been damaged and a man in South Yorkshire suffered a broken pelvis caused by falling masonry.
Strong earthquakes are relatively infrequent occurrences in the UK, the last widely-reported quake having occurred in Kent on April 28, 2007. The British Geological Survey reported that ... ''"earthquakes of this size occur in the mainland UK roughly every 30 years, although are more common in offshore areas"''. They also reported that ... ''"this is the largest earthquake in the UK since the magnitude 5.4 ML Lleyn Peninsula earthquake in 1984, which was widely felt across England and Wales."''

The earthquake caused damage to many homes
People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Cumbria, the Midlands, Norfolk and also parts of Wales, felt the tremor just before 0100 GMT.
A man suffered a broken pelvis when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.2 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.
Davie Galloway, seismologist for the BGS, said people had reported feeling the tremor from as far as Bangor in Northern Ireland to the west, Haarlem in Holland to the east, Plymouth to the south and Edinburgh to the north.
Student David Bates, 19, suffered a broken pelvis when he was pinned under masonry in his attic bedroom in Barnsley Road, Wombwell, South Yorks.
His father Paul Bates said: "There was a rumble and then we heard a bang and my son screaming 'Dad'."

His son was taken to hospital and was due to undergo surgery later.
Bev Finnegan, who lives in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, said: "I was terrified to be honest. The noise was really, really terrifying... it was so deep and rumbling.
"It felt like the roof was going to fall in. There were people coming out in their dressing gowns wondering what it was. It was quite an experience."
A Lincolnshire police spokeswoman said the force had received dozens of calls from residents but there were no reports of anyone in the county being injured.
"There is slight structural damage, cracks and a couple of chimneys damaged. There's nothing serious at present," she said.
"Mostly people were distressed by it so there were a large quantity of calls coming in."
Speaking from Gainsborough, Mike Thomas, chief fire officer for Lincolnshire, said crews had been called out to 50 incidents and one fire as a result of the quake.
And Justin Cowell, in Gainsborough, told BBC News that it "started as a massive shake".
"People had come out into the street. It seemed the whole town had woken up."
Tom Edwards, from Heckington, Lincolnshire, said he heard a noise like "an underground train and an enormous roar".
"I thought I was probably going to get killed."

Dr Brian Baptie, of the BGS, said: "An earthquake of this size, of magnitude five or thereabouts, will occur roughly every 10 to 20 years in the UK.
"So we can get these kind of moderate to significant earthquakes of this size but they're relatively rare."
The BGS recorded an aftershock with a magnitude of 1.8 at about 0400 GMT.
The main 10-second quake, which struck at 0056 GMT at a depth of 15.4km (9.6 miles), was the biggest recorded example since one with a magnitude of 5.4 struck north Wales in 1984.
Thousands of people from across England contacted the BBC to described how their homes shook during the tremor.
Jemma Harrison, 22, in Bury, Greater Manchester, said: "It was really bad. I was fast asleep and woke up and the room was shaking and there was a loud bang and alarms were going off."
Natasha Cavey, in Tipton in the West Midlands, said: "All my cupboard doors flew open and the whole house shook, it was unreal. I can't believe it."
David in Alrewas in Staffordshire said: "The birds were flying around like it was daylight.
"It was quite severe. I experienced the Dudley one and this was more severe.
"I went outside to see if the roof had collapsed. I could see the furniture in the room moving, it was like it was on a jelly mould."
Dr Baptie said: "The largest earthquake that we know about that has struck the UK was about 100km off the east coast of England on the Dogger Bank and it had a magnitude of 6.1.
David Somerset, 41, from Driffield near Beverley in East Yorkshire, said: "I have never felt one as strong as that one before. I was in my sitting room and the grandfather clock was rattling rather violently.
Philip Norton, a BBC reporter for Look North in Hull, said: "Everything started wobbling.
"The windows were rattling and the blinds were visibly moving. It sounded like the roof was coming in."
BBC reporter Lynn Crombie in Norwich said she was "absolutely terrified" and thought somebody "had driven into the side of the house".
"Then I thought somebody must have kicked the door in and everything continued to rattle inside the house," she said.
Jamil Ali in Sheffield said: "I woke up and the first thing I thought was that there were a load of burglars in the house.
"The kids were screaming and so was my wife. It was that violent you actually moved yourself."
The West Midlands was hit by an earthquake in 2002 in the Dudley area that reached a magnitude of 5.0 and one measuring 4.3 hit Folkestone in Kent last year.

El FC Barcelona hizo valer el 3-0 de la ida hace una semana y se clasificó para la final de la Liga de Campeones en Berlín el próximo 6 de junio, pese a perder este martes en el Allianz Arena contra el Bayern Muncih por 3-2.
El marroquí Medhi Benatia adelantó a los germanos al inicio del encuentro (7m), pero el brasileño Neymar acabó con cualquier esperanza alemana de remontada, con dos goles antes del descanso (15m y 29m).
Con la eliminatoria sentenciada, el Barça se relajó en exceso en el segundo tiempo y el Bayern lo aprovechó para al menos llevarse la victoria, con goles del polaco Robert Lewandowski (59m) y de Thomas Müller (74m).
El tridente formado por Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez y Neymar volvió a ser determinante en la eliminatoria, ya que los dos goles nacieron de las botas del argentino, con sendos pases en profundidad para el desmarque del charrúa, quien ante la salida de Manuel Neuer cedió en ambas ocasiones al brasileño para que anotase los tantos de su equipo.
Lea: Real Madrid, al todo o nada ante la Juventus en la semifinales de la Liga de Campeones
Clave fue también la actuación del portero germano del FC Barcelona, Marc André ter Stegen, con paradas de mucho mérito cuando el Bayern mas presionaba y que nada pudo hacer ante los tres goles bávaros.
Tras eliminar a los campeones de Inglaterra (Manchester City en octavos), Francia (París SG en cuartos) y Alemania (Bayern Munich en semifinales), el FC Barcelona se clasifica para la final de la máxima competición continental por octava vez.
El Barça (que ganó el título en 1992, 2006, 2009 y 2011 y perdió las finales de 1961, 1986 y 1994)) buscará su quinta corona europea el próximo 6 de junio en Berlín ante el ganador de la segunda semifinal, que jugarán el miércoles el Real Madrid y la Juventus (ventaja italiana tras el 2-1 de la ida).

Miércoles, 13 de mayo del 2015
"Sí, sí, sí, nos vamos a Berlín", se escuchó en Múnich. En lo que era un grito que casi se cantaba antes de jugar y que ni la derrota (3-2) enmudeció. El Barça entrará en Berlín por la puerta grande, de la misma manera que el Bayern cayó con grandeza, peleando por un imposible, en un admirable estadio, que despidió a los suyos puesto en pie. Dos rivales que se enfrentaron a pecho descubierto, con la cabeza alta, y que acabaron tan amigos, con Luis Enrique y Guardiola abrazados, y Thiago y Rafinha, y Reina, y unos cuantos más, en un gesto al que ya le acompañaba el deseo de que vuelvan a conquistar Europa.
"Sí, sí, sí, nos vamos a Berlín", gritaron los 3.000 seguidores, en un grito que podía intuirse desde la distancia en las calles de Catalunya. Un grito heredado de París, el inicio de la segunda época gloriosa del Barça después de Wembley, del primer Wembley, el principio de todo, el origen de un nuevo club, una especie de refundación de la que, aunque parezca mentira, algunos siguen renegando. De pasarse la vida maldiciendo los postes cuadrados de Berna y los penaltis de Sevilla, y celebrar Recopas como si fueran Copas de Europa, el Barça ha pasado a ser el gran conquistador, un equipo hegemónico que disputará su cuarta final de la Champions en 10 años. Y que buscará el quinto título, Como el grande que era sin serlo: hace tiempo que ya es un grande de verdad.
UNA OBRA PERFECTA
Nadie está a su altura, nadie puede competir con un club que ha recuperado el tiempo perdido y persigue completar una mano de Champions. Quién sabe si ante el Madrid, que hoy se enfrenta a sus miedos escénicos ante la Juventus, en una situación muy distinta a la del Barça. Es la última bala de Florentino, Cristiano y compañía, bajo la amenaza de una temporada en blanco, mientras el Barça marcha directo al triplete, pendiente de acabar de cerrar la Liga que tiene en la mano, adornarla después con la Copa en el Camp Nou y marchar camino de Berlín. Una obra perfecta que igualaría el primer año de quien ayer sufrió parte de su creación en el otro banquillo.
Pep Guardiola se obligó a creer que tenía una pizca de esperanza, pero en el fondo sabía que no había nada que hacer. No frente a un enemigo tan letal. En la ida advirtió que Messi es imparable, y Leo le dio la razón. Esta vez, además de ensalzar el estilo de siempre, le añadió una etiqueta que algunos malinterpretaron intencionadamente: el mejor contraataque del mundo. Dicho y hecho. Así mató al Bayern en cuanto asomó la cabeza. Pim, pam, dos pases de Messi, dos carreras de Súarez y dos toques de Neymar. ¡Alehop!.
Cuando más fuerte cantaba el Allianz, aunque no dejó de hacerlo de principio a fin, ajeno al marcador, como si nada estuviera perdido; cuando el gol de Benatia a los siete minutos iluminó los rostros ante un posible milagro, el Barça solo tardo ocho minutos en apagar la luz y la esperanza. Y al rato, lo acabó de rematar. Dos disparos al corazón.
UN TIPO INEXPUGNABLE
Se acabó. El Barça podía estar tranquilo y, encima, apareció una figura inmensa, un tipo inexpugnable: Ter Stegen. Es difícil saber si juega mejor con los pies o con las manos, pero anoche ejerció de portero, como también lo hizoNeuer. Por momentos, el elegido de Zubizarreta pareció tener tres o cuatro manos, y acabó de desesperar a los alemanes en los minutos clave.
No era fácil que el Barça mantuviera la tensión y jugara sin mirar el marcador, con el Bayern obligado a marcar cinco goles más. Enfrente no estaba el Oporto. Así que marcó un par más, un golpe de orgullo, una prueba de que era un mal enemigo y que, de no ser por los 13 minutos de furia del Camp Nou, por el genio de Messi (el Allianz aplaudió cada balón que le robaron y en el último suspiro le pasó el gol a un metro por el mal pase de Neymar), anoche habría vivido un infierno. Ni estando muerto, el Bayern quiso morir.
Pero nadie está más vivo que el Barça. Nadie tiene tanto que celebrar. Londres, París, Roma, Londres y, ahora, Berlín. Un camino perfecto La quinta orejuda aguarda al equipo del siglo XXI y al mejor de siempre. Al Barça y a Leo Messi.

Ya está el Barça en Berlín, como estaba escrito desde el Camp Nou, y hasta puede que tenga el factor campo a favor frente al Madrid o al Juventus.
A los alemanes les gusta el Barça. A veces les recuerda al Bayern campeón sin dejar de ser el Barça. Y se cuentan también barcelonistas que tienen cierta debilidad por el Bayern. Advierten rasgos del Barça de Guardiola. La declaración de intenciones del campeón de la Bundesliga es inequívoca, por su juego de posición, buen gusto y juego de ataque, sin reparar en quién tiene enfrente, ayer el Barça. Y los azulgrana tienen una pegada terrible cuando afrontan rivales valientes y cándidos como el Bayern.
BAYERN, 3 (3)–BARCELONA, 2 (5) Bayern: Neuer; Rafinha, Benatia, Boateng, Bernat; Schweinsteiger (Javi Martínez, m. 87), Alonso, Lahm (Rode, m. 67), Thiago; Müller (Götze, m. 87) y Lewandoswski. No utilizados: Reina; Dante, Weiser y Pizarro. Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic (Mathieu, m. 71), Iniesta (Xavi, m. 75); Messi, Suárez (Pedro, m. 46) y Neymar. No utilizados: Bravo; Bartra, Adriano y Rafinha. Goles: 1-0. M. 7. Benatia. 1-1. M. 15. Neymar. 1-2. M. 29. Neymar. 2-2. M. 59. Lewandowski. 3-2. M. 73. Müller. Árbitro: Mark Clattenburg. Mostró la tarjeta amarilla a Rafinha, Thiago, Rakitic, Lewandowski, Alonso, Rode y Pedro. Allianz Arena: 75.000 espectadores.
Guardiola no se perdonaría en la vida jugar como un equipo menor a pesar de que ahora se le acuse de empequeñecer al Bayern. La propuesta alemana fue tan transparente, temeraria a juicio de los críticos con su técnico, que agrandó la fortaleza de los azulgrana, imponentes en las áreas hasta el 1-2, desfigurados después por el entusiasmo del Bayern. Actuaron los barcelonistas con suficiencia, confiados ante un buen rival académicamente, condenado por el 3-0 del Camp Nou, muy orgulloso en Múnich.
No tiene más munición Guardiola, privado de Robben y Ribéry, mientras Luis Enrique presume de Messi. Las contadas aceleraciones del 10 estremecieron al Bayern igual que en el Camp Nou. Al fin y al cabo jugaron los mismos la ida que la vuelta y en ambos casos resolvieron los atacantes del Barça, activados en los momentos decisivos, autores ya de 114 goles. Y volvió a marcar Neymar, que suma nueve tantos en los últimos siete partidos, entregado a la causa liderada por Messi.
Los partidos en el Allianz Arena comienzan con un gol a favor del Bayern. Aprieta la hinchada, se anima el equipo y las ocasiones caen como una costumbre, sin reparar en el juego ni el contrario, incluso si se trata del Barça, un equipo que en los últimos siete partidos había marcado un saco de goles (25) por ninguno en contra. No hay remedio contra la avalancha alemana, en el césped y en la grada, envuelta con un mosaico gigantesco bordado por los fans: “Una ciudad, un sueño”.
Apenas habían pasado seis minutos y ya se contaba una ocasión por cada equipo, de Rakitic y de Thiago, cuando Benatia cabeceó un córner botado por Xabi Alonso. Los azulgrana no tomaban un tanto de estrategia desde diciembre de 2014. Alegre y ágil, muy reforzado por la banda derecha con Lahm, Rafinha y Thiago, jugueteaba bien el Bayern. El gol, sin embargo, no alteró el pulso de los muchachos de Luis Enrique. Hoy es un equipo más consistente y contundente que el de Guardiola.
Y, naturalmente, el Barça tiene a Messi. El 10 compareció ocho minutos después del gol para resolver la ronda en una combinación con Suárez y Neymar. Messi profundizó para el uruguayo y el 9 habilitó al brasileño, definitivo ante Neuer. La jugada se repitió poco después con el mismo éxito: sacó Ter Stegen, peinó la pelota al espacio Messi y se quedó solo Suárez, que de nuevo asistió a Neymar. Los delanteros azulgrana se relamían en el mano a mano con los defensas del Bayern.
Ocho finales y cuatro títulos A la espera de conocer rival, si Madrid o Juventus,el Barcelona jugará la octava final de la Champions de su historia. Hasta ahora, ha ganado cuatro de las siete finales disputadas, un palmarés que iguala al del Ajax y que sólo es superado por el Madrid (10), el Milan (siete), el Liverpool y el Bayern (cinco). El Barça no empezó con buen pie en la entonces llamada Copa de Europa: perdió en 1961 en Berna ante el Benfica (3-2) en un duelo en el que se estrellaron cinco veces con los palos; y en 1986 frente al Steaua (0-0) en Sevilla en los penaltis. Pero en 1992, el dream team de Cruyff batió a la Sampdoria en la prórroga con un gol de falta de Koeman. Dos años después cayó con estrépito ante el Milan (4-0) en Atenas. Y en las tres últimas venció: en 2006 al Arsenal en París; en 2009 al Manchester (2-0) en Roma; y en 2011, en Londres, de nuevo al United (3-1).
Al Barça le costó muy poco generar situaciones de superioridad por el tres contra tres dispuesto por Guardiola. No hay antídoto para Messi-Suárez-Neymar. Al Bayern por el contrario le faltan extremos y presume de medios como Thiago. Los centrocampistas se juntaron muy bien, siempre con la pelota como bandera, y alcanzaron con frecuencia posiciones de tiro ante Ter Stegen. El portero respondió siempre con intervenciones mayúsculas, sobre todo en un remate de Lewandowski.
Aunque pueda parecer un plantel hipotenso o desbravado a ojos de los alemanes, el Bayern nunca se rindió sino que se propuso ganar el encuentro ante la indiferencia del Barcelona, destensado y contemporizador, ya sin Luis Suárez. Ante quienes pensaban que el partido se había convertido en una broma, los chicos de Guardiola exigieron mucho a la defensa del Barça y le dieron la vuelta al marcador con goles de Lewandowski y Müller.
La dignidad y el buen juego del Bayern de Múnich contrastó con la indiferencia del Barça, sometido, incapaz de salir de su campo y de tirar a portería. La actuación azulgrana fue tan reprobable como admirable el remonte del Bayern, ganador en la posesión y de la contienda: 3-2. Ambos tenían justificado su papel: los alemanes ganaron, para que no se diga que son un equipo chato e inefectivo, y los azulgrana alcanzaron la octava final de la Copa de Europa, la cuarta en los últimos 10 años, la década de Messi.
Las piernas de Leo son más decisivas hoy que la cabeza de Guardiola. El Barça se ha endurecido durante una trayectoria muy exigente ante el City, el PSG y el Bayern. El billete de Berlín le eximió de tener que responder por una derrota (encadenaba 17 victorias y un empate), por tres goles encajados por tercera vez y por su secular incapacidad para ganar en Múnich. Habrá que ver qué pasa el 6 de junio en Berlín.

Brasileiro estava entre vítimas de massacre em NY
AE - Agencia Estado
NOVA YORK - O brasileiro Almir Olímpio Alves, de 42 anos, foi uma das 13 vítimas do massacre de Binghamton, cidade a 280 quilômetros de Nova York. Alves estava assistindo a uma aula de inglês na Associação Cívica Americana, na sexta-feira, quando o vietnamita Jiverly A. Wong entrou atirando. Wong, de 41 anos, matou 13 pessoas e depois se suicidou. Entre os mortos estavam também quatro chineses, dois haitianos, dois americanos, um paquistanês, uma filipina, um vietnamita e uma iraquiana.
Alves era aluno de pós-doutorado em matemática na Universidade Estadual de Nova York em Binghamton desde setembro. ?Toda a comunidade universitária está em choque. Foram confirmadas as mortes de Amir Alves, do Brasil, e Li Guo, da China, ambos pesquisadores na universidade?, disse a presidente da instituição, Lois B. DeFleur. Alves, que fazia aulas de inglês na associação, voltaria ao Brasil em julho.
Segundo o detetive Dennis Redner, ontem a polícia ainda estava tentando entrar em contato com a família de Alves. ?Tivemos dificuldade por causa de problemas de tradução, já que os parentes não falam inglês?, disse ao Estado. Eram os únicos parentes ainda não contatados. De acordo com Redner, a maioria dos brasileiros da cidade se concentra na universidade. ?Estamos levantando dados sobre o suspeito para determinar o motivo do crime, mas acreditamos que as vítimas possam ter sido aleatórias.?
Joseph Zikuski, chefe da polícia, informou que o vietnamita era alvo de chacota de colegas por não falar inglês direito, apesar de viver há quase 20 anos no país. Ele fazia aulas na associação de apoio a imigrantes e tinha perdido o emprego recentemente. Zikuski disse que o comportamento de Wong não chegou a surpreender quem o conhecia. ?Ele se sentiu humilhado porque não conseguia falar inglês e ficava muito nervoso com isso.? No dia do massacre, uma recepcionista que levou um tiro na barriga se fingiu de morta e ligou para a polícia.
Os parentes das vítimas vão receber US$ 6 mil da cidade para providenciar o enterro ou traslado do corpo e passagens de avião. Segundo o consulado brasileiro em Nova York, a família de Alves ainda não havia feito contato para providenciar a papelada do traslado. As informações são do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo.

Os nomes das vítimas ainda não foram oficialmente confirmados pela Polícia de Binghamton. Eles só serão divulgados depois que todas as famílias forem avisadas. Quatro vítimas estão internadas. Falta confirmação sobre o estado de saúde delas.
O massacre foi o pior registrado nos Estados Unidos desde que um jovem matou 32 pessoas na Universidade Virginia Tech, no Estado da Virgínia, em 16 de abril de 2007.
O vietnamita Jiverly Voong, de 42 anos, apontado pela Polícia como autor dos crimes, bloqueou a porta dos fundos do prédio com um carro, para evitar que as vítimas fugissem. Depois invadiu o saguão principal e baleou as duas recepcionistas. Uma morreu na hora, mas a segunda fingiu estar morta, conseguiu se arrastar até a própria mesa e, por telefone, avisar a Polícia.
Em dois minutos, os primeiros policiais chegaram. O cerco levou cerca de cinco horas. Foi o tempo necessário para que todas as pessoas sobreviventes deixassem o prédio. O atirador foi encontrado morto.
Conforme o prefeito de Binghamton, Matthew Ryan, Voong teria cometido o massacre porque estava deprimido por ter perdido o emprego na IBM e frustrado por não conseguir aprender inglês. (das agências)

O brasileiro , de 42 anos, foi uma das 13 vítimas do , cidade que fica a 280 quilômetros da cidade de Nova York. Alves era aluno de pós-doutorado em matemática na Universidade Estadual de Nova York em Binghamton desde setembro do ano passado. Alves, que fazia aulas de inglês na associação, voltaria ao Brasil em julho.
Alves estava assistindo a uma aula de inglês na Associação Cívica Americana, na sexta-feira, quando o vietnamita entrou atirando. Wong, de 41 anos, matou 13 pessoas e depois se suicidou. Entre os mortos estavam também quatro chineses, dois haitianos, dois americanos, um paquistanês, uma filipina, um vietnamita e uma iraquiana. No dia do massacre, uma recepcionista que levou um tiro na barriga se fingiu de morta e ligou para a polícia, que apareceram minutos depois e em seguida a .
Segundo o detetive Dennis Redner, hoje a polícia ainda estava tentando entrar em contato com a família de Alves. Eram os únicos parentes ainda não contatados. De acordo com Redner, a maioria dos brasileiros da cidade se concentra na universidade:
Joseph Zikuski, chefe da polícia, informou que o vietnamita era alvo de chacota de colegas por não falar inglês direito, apesar de viver há quase 20 anos no país. Ele fazia aulas na associação de apoio a imigrantes e tinha perdido o emprego recentemente. Zikuski disse que o comportamento de Wong não chegou a surpreender quem o conhecia:
Os parentes das vítimas vão receber US$ 6 mil da cidade para providenciar o enterro ou traslado do corpo e passagens de avião. Segundo o consulado brasileiro em Nova York, a família de Alves ainda não havia feito contato para providenciar a papelada do traslado.

Госсекретарь США Майк Помпео выступил с заявлением по поводу предварительного заключения немецких медиков относительно состояния российского оппозиционера Алексея Навального.
«Соединенные Штаты глубоко обеспокоены предварительными выводами немецких специалистов-медиков о том, что активист российской оппозиции Алексей Навальный был отравлен, – говорится в заявлении Помпео. – Если эти сообщения окажутся точными, то США поддержат призыв Евросоюза о проведении всеобъемлющего расследования и выражают готовность оказать помощь».
«Семья господина Навального и российский народ заслуживают возможности увидеть проведение полномасштабного и транспарентного расследования и привлечение к ответственности тех, кто вовлечен (в отравление Алексея Навального). Наши мысли – с семьей господина Навальным, и мы надеемся на его полное выздоровление», – подчеркнул госсекретарь США.
Ситуацию прокомментировал посол США в России Джон Салливан.
«Результаты клинических исследований, проведенных немецкими врачами, показывают, что российский оппозиционер Алексей Навальный был отравлен на прошлой неделе, – констатировал в «Твиттере» посол. – Полученные данные медобследования Алексея Навального говорят о необходимости незамедлительного, всестороннего и прозрачного расследования со стороны российских властей, чтобы привлечь к ответственности тех, кто стоит за этим преступлением».
Салливан также сообщил: «Замгоссекретаря Биган выразил глубокую озабоченность состоянием здоровья российского оппозиционера Алексея Навального, влиянием его отравления на гражданское общество РФ, а также отметил важность гласности и свободы слова для любого демократического общества».
Со своей стороны, заявление замгоссекретаря Бигана прокомментировал и российский МИД. По словам внешнеполитического ведомства РФ, российское руководство «выступает за самое тщательное и максимально объективное расследование произошедшего».
В связи с тем, что российский МИД назвал «версией об умышленном отравлении А. А. Навального», по словам ведомства, возникает «вопрос – кому это выгодно?»
«Российскому руководству – явно нет» – говорится в заявлении министерства. В документе также упоминаются «так называемые «дела А. В. Литвиненко и Скрипалей».
Напомним, что ранее во вторник пресс-секретарь российского президента Владимира Путина Дмитрий Песков заявил, что не видит в данном случае «повода» для расследования.
«Мы не понимаем, на основании чего наши немецкие коллеги так спешат, употребляя слово отравление, – сказал он. – Если будет установлено вещество и если будет установлено, что это отравление, тогда, конечно, это будет повод для расследования».
«Что бывает, когда спецслужбы начинают править государством» - мнение российских экспертов
Заместитель заведующего кафедрой конституционного и муниципального права ВШЭ, профессор Илья Шаблинский в комментарии для Русской службы «Голоса Америки» выразил опасение, что отравление как метод борьбы с политически неугодными лицами прочно вошли в практику российских спецслужб. К такому выводу, по его мнению, подталкивает целый ряд убийств и покушений на жизнь оппозиционеров и правозащитников.
«Вот и сейчас – Навальный до сих пор в коме, который день... – добавил он. – Что же такое у нас творится? Мы попали в исторический период, о котором, возможно, еще напишут в учебниках на тему, что бывает, когда спецслужбы начинают править государством. Думаю, белорусы, украинцы и другие внимательно на нас смотрят и делают для себя необходимые выводы. В общем, как-то жутковато становится. А все может быть еще хуже, чем нам кажется».
Почему в ХХ1 веке происходит возвращение к средневековой практике? Илья Шаблинский думает, что дело здесь в личных качествах и пристрастиях конкретных людей, которые отвечают за подобные операции
«Но то, что цепочка отравлений представителей российской оппозиции не могла образоваться случайно, ни у кого из здравомыслящих людей сомнений не вызывает, – констатирует он. – Очевидно, жертвами становятся те, кто вызывает особое раздражение властей. Кто у них вызовет раздражение завтра, не знаю. Поэтому, конечно, это все страшно».
О быстром и эффективном расследовании преступления даже говорить не стоит, уверен юрист: «Пока что можно рассчитывать лишь на то, что какие-то авторитетные международные лидеры, включая президента США, заявят об этом на весь мир. Надо сделать так, чтобы это стало общемировой темой. Мы, живущие в России, сейчас, к сожалению, бессильны. Каждый из тех, кто решается критиковать власть, выступает против нее со всей принципиальностью, находятся под угрозой. Мы ведь тоже каждый день пьем чай, кофе, выходим на улицу...»
Вдохновители подобных преступлений помимо прочего ставят своей целью создание общей атмосферы страха в стране, резюмировал Илья Шаблинский.
«Режим сам свои преступные деяния расследовать не станет»
Руководитель программы «Поддержка политзаключенных и преследуемых гражданских активистов» правозащитного центра «Мемориал» Сергей Давидис в комментарии для Русской службы «Голоса Америки» заметил, что информация из Германии об отравлении Навального принципиально ничего не изменила. На его взгляд, все и без того было очевидно.
«К сожалению, в российский режим опирается не на закон, не на волю граждан, а на силу, подавление политической конкуренции и устранение политических оппонентов, – утверждает он. – И тут все средства хороши, будь то репрессии или отравления. Против Навального использовали все, не гнушаясь ничем, чтобы помешать его деятельности. Клеветы и вбросов оказалось, видимо, не достаточно. Решили использовать яд как последний аргумент».
Сергея Давидиса, по его собственному признанию, удивляет лишь циничная наглость, с которой действовали преступники в случае с Алексеем Навальным. Это особенно вызывающе выглядит в контексте всех последних отравлений и убийств на международном уровне и публичного внимания к использованию Кремлем нервно-политических веществ после истории со Скрипалями в Великобритании, уточнил правозащитник.
«Это демонстрирует, что авторитаризм (в России) вступил в новую фазу развития, он окончательно оторвался от общества и во все меньшей степени пытается его в чем-то убедить или обмануть, а во все большей степени делает ставку на тотальное запугивание, – подчеркнул он. – Сейчас при крайне низком уровне поддержки власти, при плохой экономической ситуации режим посылает обществу вполне осмысленный сигнал, что готов с помощью насилия устранять своих оппонентов и ему совершенно все равно, что будет по этому поводу думать общество и мировая общественность».
Сергей Давидис также согласен с тем, что быстрого и эффективного расследования отравления Навального ждать не приходится. Режим сам свои преступные деяния расследовать не станет, заключил правозащитник.

Ciekawostki PAP, PH /22.10.2007 00:04 Małżeństwo obniża poziom testosteronu Panuje powszechne przekonanie, że u mężczyzny poziom testosteronu obniża się wraz z wiekiem. Zasadniczo jest to prawda. Okazuje się jednak, że wiek nie musi być jedynym powodem. Antropolodzy amerykańscy, badając zamieszkujących północną Kenię mężczyzn ludu Ariaal, odkryli, że poziom testosteronu spada u nich po zawarciu małżeństwa. Badania zostały opublikowane na łamach najnowszego numeru pisma "Current Anthropology".
Zamieszkujący północną Kenię przedstawiciele ludu Ariaal prowadzą pasterski tryb życia. Mężczyzna wstępuje w związek małżeński w wieku około 30 lat. Poślubia wówczas jedną lub więcej kobiet. Peter Gray z University of Nevada w Las Vegas w USA prowadził, wraz z zespołem badaczy, pomiary poziomu męskiego hormonu płciowego, testosteronu, u 205 mężczyzn z ludu Ariaal. Badani mieli od 20 do 39 lat.
Naukowcy odkryli, że ci mężczyźni, którzy posiadali jedną żonę, mieli niższy poziom testosteronu od nieżonatych. Najniższym poziomem testosteronu odznaczali się mężczyźni żyjący w związkach poligamicznych.
- Poziom testosteronu jest prawdopodobnie niższy u żonatych mężczyzn, ponieważ po wstąpieniu w związek małżeński mniej inwestują oni w rywalizację o kobiety - mówi Gray.
Specyfika związków małżeńskich u ludu Ariaal polega na tym, że ograniczają się one głównie do współżycia seksualnego. Mężowie nie angażują się w wychowanie dzieci czy sprawy domowe. Zależność pomiędzy byciem mężem a poziomem testosteronu jest przez to silniejsza - dodaje.
W osobnych badaniach na 203 mężczyznach z ludu Ariaal okazało się, że tylko trzech spośród nich traktuje swoją żonę lub żony jako źródło wsparcia emocjonalnego.
Żyjący z dala od współczesnej cywilizacji pasterze Ariaal są bardzo popularni wśród antropologów. Naukowcy długo szukali ludu, który byłby tak odizolowany od reszty świata. Wspólnota Ariaal liczy około 10 tys. osób i została "odkryta" dla nauki w latach 70. XX wieku przez antropologa Elliota Fratkina.
"Pielgrzymki" naukowców nie pozostają bez wpływu na życie pasterzy. Wielu z nich nosi T-shirty z logo renomowanych uniwersytetów z całego świata, które dostali w prezencie od badaczy. Plemię Ariaal, w przeciwieństwie do wielu innych plemion afrykańskich, ma opinię cierpliwego i skorego do współpracy z naukowcami. Niektórzy pasterze zaczynają już jednak irytować się stawianymi im ciągle pytaniami - o posiłki, biegunki, erekcję, częstotliwość oddawania moczu. Bada się ich na różne sposoby - pobiera się im krew, ślinę, mierzy, waży.
Pewnego razu jeden z lokalnych przywódców, noszący T-shirt Boston University, poskarżył się dziennikarzowi "San Francisco Chronicle": Nie mamy nic przeciwko pomaganiu ludziom w zdobywaniu ich doktoratów. Jednak, kiedy już to zrobią, zostawiają nas, nie przysyłają nam wyników badań. Nie mamy z tego żadnych namacalnych korzyści. Potrzebujemy rozwoju.
W ciągu ostatnich lat część członków plemienia wybrała osiadły tryb życia, część zaś przeniosła się w sąsiedztwo miasta Marsabit, gdzie działają już telefony komórkowe i jest dostęp do Internetu.

TESTOSTERONE gradually declines with age, right? Not for the Ariaal - subsistence pastoralists living in northern Kenya. They experience a decline in levels of the male hormone only when they get married. The finding provides a social and evolutionary explanation for the decrease in testosterone, rather than an age-related one.
Ariaal men remain single "warriors" until they are around 30, at which time they marry one or more women. Peter Gray of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and colleagues measured testosterone in 205 Ariaal men and found that those with one wife had lower levels of the hormone than unmarried men, and men with more than one wife had the lowest levels of all (Current Anthropology, DOI: 10.1086/522061). "Testosterone levels are lower among married men probably because they are investing less in mating effort," he says. Or to put it another way, they no longer have to compete for mates.
That link between mating effort and testosterone is made clearer by the fact that the Ariaal have an "aloof" marital system: apart from sex, husbands and wives have very little to do with each other, and men are minimally involved in childcare. In a separate study of 203 married Ariaal men, only three participants cited their wife or wives as a source of emotional support.

Identifican al sicario que asesinó al diputado Armando Castillo
Por: Antonio Tobias Herrera
El homicida es oriundo de San José del Guaviare.
Como Stiguar De Los Santos Mancera Perilla fue identificada la persona que asesinó al diputado del Magdalena Armando Castillo Suárez, el homicida que fue capturado en flagrancia, es natural de San José del Guaviare, e inmediatamente fue puesto a disposición de la Fiscalía, como lo informó el Comandante de Policía del Magdalena Coronel Wilson Barón.
Según las autoridades, hasta el momento no se conocen antecedentes del capturado y se investiga para verificar si hace parte de la estructura de algún grupo delincuencial al margen de la ley, y saber cuáles fueron los móviles del homicidio.
Dijo el oficial, ante la pregunta si se restringirá también en Ciénaga el porte de armas de fuego, que era una decisión de la Alcaldía y de las autoridades militares.

Sicarios han cobrado la vida del diputado Castillo en medio de la ola de violencia que azota la región.
Con un diputado recién posesionado asesinado y en vísperas de que su cuerpo sea velado en cámara ardiente en el Concejo distrital, ha amanecido la ciudad colombiana de Santa Marta, tras conocerse la noticia de que Armando Castillo, apodado popularmente “El Chiri”, político del Partido Liberal (en el gobierno municipal), fue asesinado en el día de ayer por sicarios que se movilizaban en moto.
Castillo, diputado del Magdalena, recibió varios impactos de bala en la cabeza y en el cuello –los medios han calculado que fueron entre dos y cuatro, con una pistola calibre 9 mm– que le propinaron dos sicarios, mientras se movilizaba hacia la casa de sus suegros. El político se encontraba en casa de sus padres, en la calle 8 con carrera 12, diagonal a la Plaza Central de Ciénaga, ciudad cercana a la capital del departamento. Allí, permaneció toda la tarde pues estaba acompañando a su madre, Dennis Suárez, quien apenas se recuperaba de la muerte del padre de Castillo, acaecida quince días antes a causa de un infarto; según han informado medios locales. Del mismo modo, se ha reseñado que el trayecto era bastante corto y que el deceso se produjo cerca de las 9 de la noche.
El diputado fue acribillado en la puerta de la residencia sin que pudiera ser auxiliado por sus escoltas, desplomándose en el suelo de manera inmediata. No obstante, según cables de prensa, los testigos del hecho han asegurado que la intervención del hermano del político, permitió derribar a uno de los sicarios –puesto en pie frente a Castillo–, asegurar su arma para evitar que le propinará un tiro de gracia en el piso y retenerlo para entregarlo a las autoridades. Pese a ello, el sicario que conducía la motocicleta pudo darse a la huida. Hasta el momento se desconoce su paradero pero las autoridades han puesto en marcha una investigación para lograr su captura.
Tras el siniestro, el cuerpo del político fue trasladado a la Clínica de la Policía en Ciénaga, cercana al lugar de los hechos; donde los médicos, tras realizarle una intervención quirúrgica y trabajos de reanimación por 30 minutos, confirmaron su deceso.
Ha trascendido que, esta tarde, en su honor, sesionará la Asamblea del Magdalena, de la que era cabildante. De igual manera, cabe resaltar que el hecho ha causado indignación en ambas ciudades, según han podido establecer los medios locales.
=== Sicario capturado ===
Ha podido establecerse que el sicario responsable fue identificado como Stiguar De Los Santos Mancera Perilla, oriundo de San José del Guaviare. Hasta ahora, no se han conocido antecedes penales del acusado y se están iniciando las investigaciones que determinen si pertenecía a un grupo armado al margen de la ley. El sicario fue capturado y puesto a disposición de las autoridades, tras una suerte de linchamiento que le propinaron familiares de la víctima tras arrebatarle el arma homicida. En este momento, se encuentra en la sede del Comando del Segundo Distrito de la Policía Nacional, según se ha informado.
=== Consejo de Seguridad ===
En el día de hoy, fue realizado un Consejo de Seguridad, a petición del gobernador Luis Cotes, para analizar la crisis violenta que sufre el Departamento. Como resultado del mismo, se acordó entregar más escoltas a todos los diputados del Departamento. Merece la pena destacar que, en días pasados, los diputados habían pedido a las autoridades reforzar sus cuerpos de seguridad pues eran víctimas de constantes amenazas.
Al comparecer ante la prensa, el coronel Wilson Barón, Comandante de la Policía Nacional en el Magdalena, confirmó que se restringirá en Ciénaga el porte de armas de fuego, como decisión concertada entre las autoridades. Y, del mismo modo, hizo público el traslado del arma capturada a la Fiscalía General de la Nación, para que se inicien las investigaciones respectivas y se llegue a establecer quien es el autor mediato del hecho.

Castillo fue atacado por dos hombres que se movilizaban en moto, en momentos en que el político liberal salía de la casa de sus padres en la noche del sábado en Santa Marta.
De acuerdo con las autoridades, el Diputado se encontraba departiendo con su señora madre, y al ver que era tarde salió hacía la casa de sus suegros, en ese momento fue atacado por los pistoleros quienes lo hirieron de gravedad en la cabeza y el cuello.
Al parecer los guardaespaldas de el Diputado, respondieron a los disparos pero no fue suficiente para salvarle la vida.
Uno de los sicarios que no fue identificado por la Policía fue capturado con un arma de fuego. Su cómplice logró huir.

__NOTOC__
Sicarios han cobrado la vida del diputado Castillo en medio de la ola de violencia que azota la región.
Con un diputado recién posesionado asesinado y en vísperas de que su cuerpo sea velado en cámara ardiente en el Concejo distrital, ha amanecido la ciudad colombiana de Santa Marta, tras conocerse la noticia de que Armando Castillo, apodado popularmente “El Chiri”, político del Partido Liberal (en el gobierno municipal), fue asesinado en el día de ayer por sicarios que se movilizaban en moto.
Castillo, diputado del Magdalena, recibió varios impactos de bala en la cabeza y en el cuello –los medios han calculado que fueron entre dos y cuatro, con una pistola calibre 9 mm– que le propinaron dos sicarios, mientras se movilizaba hacia la casa de sus suegros. El político se encontraba en casa de sus padres, en la calle 8 con carrera 12, diagonal a la Plaza Central de Ciénaga, ciudad cercana a la capital del departamento. Allí, permaneció toda la tarde pues estaba acompañando a su madre, Dennis Suárez, quien apenas se recuperaba de la muerte del padre de Castillo, acaecida quince días antes a causa de un infarto; según han informado medios locales. Del mismo modo, se ha reseñado que el trayecto era bastante corto y que el deceso se produjo cerca de las 9 de la noche.
El diputado fue acribillado en la puerta de la residencia sin que pudiera ser auxiliado por sus escoltas, desplomándose en el suelo de manera inmediata. No obstante, según cables de prensa, los testigos del hecho han asegurado que la intervención del hermano del político, permitió derribar a uno de los sicarios –puesto en pie frente a Castillo–, asegurar su arma para evitar que le propinará un tiro de gracia en el piso y retenerlo para entregarlo a las autoridades. Pese a ello, el sicario que conducía la motocicleta pudo darse a la huida. Hasta el momento se desconoce su paradero pero las autoridades han puesto en marcha una investigación para lograr su captura.
Tras el siniestro, el cuerpo del político fue trasladado a la Clínica de la Policía en Ciénaga, cercana al lugar de los hechos; donde los médicos, tras realizarle una intervención quirúrgica y trabajos de reanimación por 30 minutos, confirmaron su deceso.

O cabo Gomes, do Batalhão de Choque da Polícia Militar, que participou da ação neste domingo (6) na favela do Antares, em Santa Cruz, zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro, disse que ele era o alvo do tiro que matou o cinegrafista da TV Bandeirantes Gelson Domingos da Silva, de 46 anos.

O tiroteio começou cedo, por volta das 6h, quando oito policiais, acompanhados de jornalistas, foram recebidos a tiros. Em determinado momento, o grupo se separou. A maioria ficou protegida por um muro. O cabo Gomes atravessou a rua e foi seguido por Gelson, protegidos por uma árvore. Os traficantes dispararam dois tiros de fuzil. O primeiro acertou a árvore e o segundo, o cinegrafista no tórax.
Segundo testemunhas, o atendimento a Gelson demorou cerca de 20 minutos, já que o tiroteio continuou com intensidade mesmo depois de o cinegrafista ter sido socorrido. Além de Gelson, morreram outras quatro pessoas que a PM informa serem traficantes. A Polícia Civil quer analisar as filmagens de Gelson para ver se o grupo de quatro pessoas que ele filmara e que posteriormente fez os disparos é o mesmo que foi morto em seguida.

Doctors at Royal Wigan Infirmary in Greater Manchester put out the alert after fearing the man faced amputation as the ring cut off his blood supply.
Two firefighters used a mini hand grinder to cut through the ring during a 20-minute procedure.
It is understood the man, aged in his 40s, was given an anaesthetic.
The firefighters placed a thin sheet of metal around his penis to protect the skin while removing the ring, which appeared to have been cut off from the end of a pipe.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service confirmed fire crews were called to the hospital at around 12.10 GMT on Thursday to "deal with a situation".
A spokeswoman for Royal Wigan Infirmary said they were unable to comment about the incident.

Fire fighters in the United Kingdom used a hand grinder to remove a metal ring from a man's 2 days ago. They had been summoned after doctors at the Royal Wigan Infirmary in Greater Manchester became worried that the man may have required of the penis as the ring was cutting off the blood flow.
The man had been taken to the infirmary's Accident and Emergency department, where attempts were made to cut through the ring. However, this failed as hospital cutting equipment was not strong enough to sever the hard metal the ring was made of.
responded to the call made at around 12.10 GMT Thursday, after the penis started swelling up. Two fire fighters spent twenty minutes cutting the ring off the then man, who is in his 40s. The mini hand grinder used for the job is more regularly used for tasks such as cutting through padlocks.
A thin sheet of metal was placed around the man's penis to protect it during the operation. It is thought that the ring had originally been cut off the end of a pipe.

Man's lucky penis escape
A man from Wigan was saved from having his penis amputated after getting a metal ring trapped on the end of it.
The man, believed to be in his late 40s, was taken to the Accident and Emergency department at the Wigan Infirmary, just before midnight on Wednesday.
Doctors tried to remove the large piece of metal, which appeared to be cut off from the end of a pipe but the hospital's ring cutter equipment could not saw through the hard metal.
Surgeons feared the penis would have to be amputated after the ring appeared to be cutting off the blood supply, causing a large amount of swelling.
The hospital called on the aid of two firemen from Wigan Fire Station, who were able to use a mini handgrinder, normally used to cut through pad locks, to cut through the metal.
The man was taken into theatre, where he was given an anaesthetic, before the proceedure took place. The firemen had to place a thin sheet of metal around the penis underneath the ring to protect the skin.
They then cut through the metal, which took around 20 minutes.
A spokesman for the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service confirmed fire crews were called out to the hospital just after midnight.
A spokesman for the Infirmary was unable to comment.

A MILLIONAIRE former rock manager was jailed yesterday for at least two years for having sex with a 15-year-old girl at a Melbourne motel.
Robert Jackson Yates, 62, who owns a luxury home in NSW and a yacht, stood stone-faced as a County Court judge told him he would have received the maximum term of six years had it not been for his early guilty plea.
The court heard that Yates, now 62, met the girl through an internet chatroom.
He booked a flight to Melbourne and arranged to meet her at a suburban railway station before taking her to the nearby motel for sex.
The court was told the girl entered her profile on an adult dating website as a joke and claimed to be 18 -- but disclosed her true age early in their email exchanges.
Judge Meryl Sexton said Yates still went ahead with the meeting and bought her lingerie. He met her at the station after she was dropped off by her mother before school in August last year.
The girl did not want to meet him again the next day and told her mother, who contacted police.
Judge Sexton said: "It's quite unbelievable that a man of 61 knowingly and deliberately set out to have sex with a female under 16."
Yates pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and two counts of committing an indecent act with a child under 16.
He was sentenced to four years' jail with a minimum of two years behind bars. He is now a registered sex offender.
Yates once managed Mi-Sex, the Kiwi rock band who had an Australian No 1 in 1979 with Computer Games.

Robert Jackson Yates, the former manager of the New Zealand and Australian New Wave band Mi-Sex, has been sentenced to a four-year jail sentence after pleading guilty to having sex with a minor.
The Victorian County Court heard that Yates, 62, met the girl through a website named Adult Friend Finder, where she claimed on her profile to be 18 years of age. The girl later revealed to Yates, through email exchanges with him, that her true age was 15. Yates flew to Melbourne, Victoria, where he met the girl and had sex with her in a motel. The following day, the girl told her mother, who then contacted police.
Judge Meryl Sexton said that Yates must have known the girl was underage, and that the blame lay solely on his shoulders. "It's quite unbelievable that a man of 61 knowingly and deliberately set out to have sex with a female under 16," she said.
Yates pleaded guilty to two counts each of committing indecent acts with a child under 16 and of sexual penetration of a child under 16, and was sentenced to a four-year prison term, with a minimum of two years in prison before he is eligible for parole. He will also be placed on a registered sex offenders list for 15 years.
The band Mi-Sex was popular in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s, most notably for their number one hit single "Computer Games".

August 18, 2008 - 6:14PM
The former manager of hit 1980s band Mi-Sex has been jailed for four years for having sex with a teenager he met on the internet.
Robert Yates, 62, responded to the 15-year-old girl's profile on a website called Adult Friend Finder.
He then flew from Coffs Harbour in NSW, to Melbourne to meet her.
Yates got the girl to dress in lingerie before they had sex in a motel in the outer-Melbourne suburb of Ringwood in August last year.
Victorian County Court Judge Meryl Sexton on Monday said Yates, who had led a respectable life with no prior criminal convictions, must have known the girl was underage.
"There is no doubt that this has been an enormous fall from grace for a man that lived 61 years in an exemplary fashion," Judge Sexton said.
"The facts in this case are very serious indeed ... unbelievable for a male with no prior convictions to set out and deliberately have sex with an underage female."
The court heard Yates became lonely and isolated after a yacht he was sailing in was anchored in Coffs Harbour for six months for repairs last year.
During this time, Yates lived in a small hotel room and developed a pattern of drinking up to two bottles of wine each day and browsing an internet chat room.
The girl posted on her web profile that she was 18 and Yates replied saying he was interested in younger women.
The girl replied she was really 15 years old, the court heard.
Judge Sexton said Yates must also have known when he met the girl at a Melbourne railway station that she was underage.
She said no blame should be attributed to the girl for meeting Yates.
"It is never a child's fault when they are the victim of a crime," Judge Sexton said.
"It was clearly within your contemplation that she was underage."
Yates pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual penetration with a child under 16 and two counts of an indecent act with a child under 16.
Judge Sexton ordered Yates, of Katoomba in the NSW Blue Mountains, to serve a minimum of two years in prison.
He will also be a registered sex offender for the next 15 years.
Mi-Sex was a New Zealand/Australian new wave rock band active from 1978 to 1984.
The band was best known for its 1979 single Computer Games.

Ancient golden jewelry found in Egyptian tomb
CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian officials says archaeologists have found ancient golden jewelry in a pharaonic-era tomb that belonged to a senior official under Egypt's most powerful queen. The Supreme Council of Antiquities says five golden earrings and two rings were found in the tomb of Gahouti, the head of the treasury under Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt 3,500 years ago.
Tuesday's statement says the tomb was located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, a southern Egyptian city famous for its Valley of the Kings and other ruins from pharaonic times.
The tomb had been looted, and its gates were engraved with text from the "Book of the Dead," which Egyptians believed would be needed in the afterlife.

A team of archaeologists excavating an Ancient Egyptian tomb have discovered golden jewelry in a recently-discovered lower chamber at the Valley of the Kings burial site in Luxor, Egypt.
Two golden rings and five golden earrings were found in the tomb of Djehuty, an 18th-dynasty official of Queen Hatshepsut, and were probably the property of Djehuty or his family.
The discovery was announced by Farouk Hosni, Egypt's current Minister of Culture.
The Valley of the KingsDjehuty was overseer of the treasury and overseer of works for the Queen. Hatshepsut reigned approximately 1479–1458 BCE. Djehuty was responsible for managing the huge amounts of precious goods brought in from Egypt's military expedition to Punt in the Horn of Africa and the vast building projects of Hatshepsut which have made the female pharaoh one of the most-remembered of any from ancient Egypt.
Djehuty died after Hatshepsut did, sometime during the reign of Thutmosis III. Both Hatshepsut's and Thutmosis's names are recorded on the tomb. In a fashion typical of ancient Egyptian rivalries, Hatshepsut's name was partly obscured on the monument over the tomb sometime after the queen's death.
The team, led by José Manuel Galán of the National Research Center (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC), in Madrid, Spain, had been excavating the tomb, designated TT11 and located in the necropolis of Dra' Abu el-Naga', since 2002. While much of Djehuty's funerary equipment was lost to fire in antiquity, the lower chamber of his tomb was concealed at the end of a three-meter shaft and discovered at the end of 2008.
A superficial description of the tomb itself was recorded almost two hundred years ago by 19th-century French Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion, rubble blocking the entrance hindered excavation until the 21st century. In that time, emphasis in Egyptology has changed from the cataloging of treasures to the investigation of ancient culture, life and religion.
Since excavation began, Djehuty's tomb has yielded a number of surprises. It was discovered that the tomb was re-used repeatedly up to and during the Greco-Roman period. There is an unusual face-on depiction of pharaoh Thutmosis III hunting ducks, and the mummy of a young, bejewelled, as-yet unidentified woman.
HatshepsutIn 2007, 44 preserved bunches of flowers thought to be from Djehuty's funeral were found in the site. In their 8th season of excavation, which ended on February 22, 2009, the team also found considerable evidence that below Djehuty's tomb is a network of burial sites from the 11th dynasty, four thousand years old.
The lower chamber also displays passages from the Egyptian funerary text the Book of the Dead on its walls and a colorful mural of the goddess Nut, an embodiment of the heavens, on the ceiling. The names of Djehuty and his parents were also intact in the second chamber; the names were defaced in the previously-known first chamber of the tomb, which had also been looted.
According to a press release from Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Djehuty's tomb is only the fifth known decorated burial chamber of the 18th dynasty. An additional unusual feature of the tomb is that its upper chamber is decorated in relief, rather than simply paint. When the excavation is completed, Dr Galán's team plans to open the site to the public as the carved stoneworks will not be destroyed by tourists' activities as paint would.
The identification of Djehuty is a complicated one, as a number of officials of the 18th dynasty bore the name, including a general and several governors. The name itself is an alternate transliteration of the name of the Egyptian god usually written in English as Thoth.

March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Spanish archaeologists digging on the west bank of Luxor, Egypt, have discovered jewelry in a tomb of a state treasurer who lived some 3,500 years ago under the reign of Queen Hatshepsut.
The team found five gold earrings and two gold rings that probably belonged to Djehuty -- the so-called overseer of treasury, who supervised works under Hatshepsut -- or his family in a newly discovered burial chamber in his tomb, the Egyptian Culture Ministry said in an e-mailed statement today.
The chamber, the second in the tomb, is the fourth dating to this period that has been found with painted walls, the statement said. Two of its walls are decorated with texts from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the ceiling bears a mural of the goddess Nut.
Jose Galan of Madrid’s National Research Center and his team have been excavating at the site in Dra Abu El-Naga on the west bank of Luxor since 2002 and discovered a 3-meter shaft inside Djehuty’s tomb at the end of the 2008 archaeological season. The new burial chamber was then discovered earlier this year, the statement said.
While the names of Djehuty, his father and mother, were erased from the first upper burial chamber found, their names are intact in the recently discovered lower burial chamber, it said.
Hatshepsut, one of the few women to rule Egypt, was pharaoh from 1479 B.C. to 1458 B.C.

A team of archaeologists excavating an Ancient Egyptian tomb have discovered golden jewelry in a recently-discovered lower chamber at the Valley of the Kings burial site in Luxor, Egypt.
Two golden rings and five golden earrings were found in the tomb of Djehuty, an 18th-dynasty official of Queen Hatshepsut, and were probably the property of Djehuty or his family.
The discovery was announced by Farouk Hosni, Egypt's current Minister of Culture.
The Valley of the KingsDjehuty was overseer of the treasury and overseer of works for the Queen. Hatshepsut reigned approximately 1479–1458 BCE. Djehuty was responsible for managing the huge amounts of precious goods brought in from Egypt's military expedition to Punt in the Horn of Africa and the vast building projects of Hatshepsut which have made the female pharaoh one of the most-remembered of any from ancient Egypt.

A Spanish mission working at Dra Abu El-Naga on the West Bank at Luxor has discovered a second, painted burial chamber in the tomb of Djehuty (TT11). Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni announced the discovery, adding that the Spanish team, led by Dr. José Galán of the National Research Center, Madrid, has been working at the site since 2002.
At the end of their 2008 season, the mission came across a 3 meter-deep shaft inside the burial chamber of Djehuty, an overseer of the treasury and overseer of works during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut (ca. 1479-1458 BC). At the beginning of 2009, they discovered a second burial chamber at the bottom of this shaft. The chamber is decorated on two of its walls, mostly with texts from the Book of the Dead. (photo on the left, larger photo) An image of the goddess Nut adorns the ceiling. (photo)
The discovery is remarkable, as only four other decorated burial chambers dating to this period are known. Although the names of Djehuty, his father, and his mother were intentionally erased in the upper part of the monument, they are intact in the newly discovered lower burial chamber. At the entrance to the lower chamber, the Spanish team found five gold earrings and two gold rings, which date to the early- to mid-18th Dynasty and probably belonged to Djehuty or to a member of his family.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, commented that only a few other objects from the tomb are known, as most of Djehuty’s funerary equipment was destroyed by fire in antiquity. Galán added that the discovery of this decorated chamber adds to our understanding of the religious and funerary beliefs of the mid-15th century BC, and of the elite of Queen Hatshepsut’s court.

Say it with flowers
Nevine El-Aref reports Pharaonic flowers and funeral vases are the latest news from Luxor,reports
The discovery in 2003 of the tomb of Djehuty, overseer of works at Thebes during Queen Hatshepsut's reign, amazed Egyptologists and historians not only because of its distinguished and uncommon architectural design and decorative scenes, but also for the artefacts found within its corridors -- objects from different dynasties piled in the tomb to form a haphazard treasury. These finds, made at Draa Abul-Nagaa on Luxor's west bank by a Spanish-Egyptian archaeological team, revealed more details about an unusual time in Egypt's ancient history.
This week after six consecutive concessions, the mission has unearthed instruments used at the funeral inside the tomb that add emphasis to the importance of Djehuty's position.
While cleaning the debris in the tomb's open courtyard archaeologists found a 70cm-deep pit containing 42 clay vases and 42 flower bouquets.
"These are probably the remains of Djehuty's funerary [bouquets] that were later thrown inside the tomb," Spanish mission director Jose Galàn said. A contemporary scene carved on the walls in Djehuty's burial chamber showed participants at the funeral bringing in bouquets and vases of flowers. Neighbouring the pit, Galàn continued, an unidentified, Middle-Kingdom wooden coffin was unearthed. Early studies on this reveal that it belonged to a middle-class woman who was buried with just a faience necklace. Preliminary studies on the bones found inside the coffin revealed that it predated the construction of Djehuty's tomb by 500 years.
Excavating another trench at the open courtyard, the mission stumbled upon a six-metre-long wall that was once the tomb's façade. The wall was built with masonry coated with a fine limestone mortar. Mud bricks were used to fill the two-metre thick wall. Two clusters of ceramic vases, mostly bottles, with typical shapes of those fabricated during the reign of Thutmosis III, have also been unearthed.
Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) Secretary- General Zahi Hawass said excavation work extended towards the area in front of the tomb, and that this had uncovered two funerary shafts, both hewn at in the 18th to 19th dynasties and were both reused later on and afterwards robbed. The shafts were, therefore, emptied and filled more than once, making it difficult to be precise about the date. One contained up to 16 individual burials from various times, while the second bears some pottery vases that can be dated to the early 18th Dynasty.
The tomb's walls are beautifully decorated with scenes featuring the annual pilgrimage to Abydos, hunting in the desert and in the marshes, and funerary rituals. Culture Minister Farouk Hosni said one of the most interesting scenes showed a harpist with two singers standing behind him; with the lyrics of their song engraved above the figures. This scene shows the onset of the realistic style typical of the period, with the harpist depicted with a round fat belly and haunches.
"Djehuty's tomb is of both historical importance and artistic value," Hosni said.
The excitement generated by the original discovery four years ago resounded all over the necropolis. There was enthusiastic discussion about a painted wooden tablet showing the figures of the deceased nobleman and Pharaoh Thutmosis III enjoying a day's duck hunting, their faces looking forward and not, as was usual in Pharaonic art, in profile.
"This tablet is not the training sketch of an artist that some might think," SCA art consultant Mahmoud Mabrouk argues. "It is an executive drawing used as an artistic model with figures, painted over a grid of 18 squares in order that they can be adjusted to their canonical proportion and then have the correct measurements for cutting the rock and sculpting the statues."
Galàn described Djehuty as an important official who lived in the reign of Hatshepsut, but who died in the reign of Thutmosis III, which would explain why the names of both Pharaohs are written on the tomb wall but the name of Hatshepsut is slightly scratched. Djehuty would appear to have participated in the construction and decoration of most of Hatshepsut's monumental constructions in Thebes. Moreover, as overseer of the treasury and "controller of all the revenues coming from all foreign lands", he would have been responsible for registering all the exotic products, including minerals and spices, brought from the land of Punt as shown on his tomb walls. "He was such an important official that he is even represented carrying out such activities on one of the walls of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir Al-Bahari," Galàn said.
During excavation of the tomb, eight mummies of falcons were unearthed, and a demotic graffito relating to them was found on one of the tomb walls. "This means that the tomb of Djehuty was reused in the Graeco- Roman era," Galàn added.
While work was in progress around Djehuty's tomb, another tomb dating from the beginning of the 18th Dynasty was unearthed.
It belongs to a man named Hery who was the supervisor of the Treasury of Queen Iya-Hutep, the mother of Ahmose I, who died in the reign of Amenhotep I. Up to now only a 25-sq-m base of a pyramidion has been found at Hery's tomb, which, he explained was the superstructure of the tomb.
"Both tombs were seen by early archaeologists, the French scholar [Jean-François] Champollion and the German scholar [Carl Richard] Lepsius," Hawass said. "But they were only interested in documenting some of the reliefs without bothering with the funerary collection."
To protect both tombs from urban encroachment, possible flash floods or other unforeseen disaster, a large stone wall has been constructed around the tombs, and the wooden roof, originally built in 1910 to cover the open court of the tomb, has been strengthened and consolidated.

A team of archaeologists excavating an Ancient Egyptian tomb have discovered golden jewelry in a recently-discovered lower chamber at the Valley of the Kings burial site in Luxor, Egypt.
Two golden rings and five golden earrings were found in the tomb of Djehuty, an 18th-dynasty official of Queen Hatshepsut, and were probably the property of Djehuty or his family.
The discovery was announced by Farouk Hosni, Egypt's current Minister of Culture.

Thrills at Thebes
A mystery sarcophagus found in the tomb of the overseer of works during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut was opened on the Theban necropolis last week. Nevine El-Aref was there
The sarcophagus was found last week by a Spanish mission working at the necropolis at Thebes. Journalists and Egyptologists had arrived to witness the opening of the coffin, hoping that an intact mummy would be revealed -- a relatively rare event. While trying to keep clear of the professional excavators, restorers and photographers, those not directly involved anxiously circulated around the action in search of a good vantage point from which to catch a first glimpse of what lay inside. It turned out, as hoped, to be an extremely well- preserved, linen-wrapped mummy.
"An unknown woman! But there's no inscription," exclaimed a puzzled José Galàn, director of the Spanish mission, anxiously searching for some sort of identification. "It could be a member of Djehuty's family, or even a princess of the New Kingdom." We all pressed closer.
The tomb of Djehuty had been accidentally chanced upon by the Spanish-Egyptian mission working in the Draa Abul-Nagaa area. Here well over 400 tombs are spread over a large area at the edge of the agricultural plain, from Deir Al-Medina in the south to Draa Abul-Nagaa in the north. All belong to officials who wielded power, to a greater or lesser extent, in the Old Kingdom, ranging from viziers and overseers of work to royal scribes and superintendents of the various departments of state.
It was while cleaning the open court of Djehuty's tomb -- discovered and recorded by early archaeologists and subsequently filled with sand -- in an attempt to find its entrance that the team chanced upon the anthropoid coffin. "The face of a beautiful woman with black, inlaid eyes and dark eyebrows appeared out of the sand," Galàn said. "All the Egyptologists fell in love with her."
Galàn said that their first impression on seeing the face on the coffin was that this was Djehuty. "But when we brushed off the sand it was clear that it was the face of a woman wearing an earring."
The mummy has, understandably, aroused a great deal of speculation. "I do believe that it could be filled with scarabs and amulets," Zahi Hawass, secretary- general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said. He added that within the coming weeks it would be X-rayed for possible identification.
The coffin was not the only object found buried under sand in the tomb's courtyard. Funerary objects bearing the name of Djehuty came to light, as well as those of the Pharaoh Ahmose and linen fragments bearing the cartouche of Amenhotep II. A wooden face of a young woman similar to the one carved on the sarcophagus was also discovered.
"The debris was like a treasury full of objects from different dynasties; it was all mixed up together," said Mohamed El- Biali, head of Antiquities of Upper Egypt and at the same time supervising the Egyptian team, pointing to an alabaster fragment of a vase bearing the name of Ahmose -- founder of the 18th dynasty in 1567BC and the Pharaoh who, with his brother Kamose, fought to liberate Egypt from the hated Hyksos. "It reveals that Draa Abul-Nagaa was not only a cemetery for nobles and high ranking officials but that it could have been used as a royal necropolis for Pharaohs and queens of the 18th dynasty."
"Djehuty's tomb is of both historical importance and artistic value," said culture minister Farouk Hosni. The tomb's walls are beautifully decorated with scenes featuring the annual pilgrimage to Abydos, hunting in the desert and in the marshes and funerary rituals. Hosni explained that the most noteworthy scene shows a harpist with two singers behind him; the lyrics of the song are engraved above the figures. This scene shows the beginning of a realism characteristic of the period, with the harpist depicted with a big round belly and hunches.
The excitement generated by the discovery resounded all over the necropolis. There was enthusiastic discussion about a painted wooden tablet showing two figures, those of the deceased nobleman and Pharaoh Thutmosis III hunting ducks, their faces looking forward and not, as was usual in Pharaonic art, in profile. "This tablet is not the training sketch of an artist as some might think," said Mahmoud Mabrouk, art consultant to the SCA. He argues: "It is an executive drawing used as an artistic model with figures painted over a grid of 18 squares in order to adjust them to their canonical proportion and then to have the correct measurements for cutting the rock and sculpting the statues."
Galàn described Djehuty as an important official who lived in the reign of Hatshepsut but who died in the reign of Thutmosis III. "That would explain why the names of both Pharaohs are written on the tomb wall, but the one of Hatshepsut is a little bit scratched." Djehuty would appear to have participated in the construction and decoration of most of Hatshepsut's monumental constructions in Thebes. Moreover, as overseer of the Treasury and "controller of all the revenues coming from all foreign lands", he would have been responsible for registering all the exotic products, including minerals and spices, brought from the land of Punt as shown on his tomb walls. "He was such an important official, that he is even represented on one of the walls of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir Al- Bahari while carrying out such activities," Galàn said.
During excavation of the tomb, eight mummies of falcons were unearthed, and a demotic graffito relating to them was found on one of the tomb walls. "This means that the tomb of Djehuty was reused in the Graeco-Roman era," Galàn added.
While work was in progress around Djehuty's tomb, another was unearthed dating from the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. "It belongs to a man named Hery who was the supervisor of the Treasury of Queen Iya- hutep, the mother of Ahmose I, who died in the reign of Amenhotep I," El-Biali said. Up to now only a 25sqm base of a pyramidion has been found in Hery's tomb, which he explained was the superstructure of the tomb.
"Both tombs were seen by early archaeologists, the French scholar [Jean- François] Champollion and the German scholar [Carl Richard] Lepsius," Hawass said. "But they were only interested in documenting some of their reliefs without bothering with the funerary collection."
To protect both tombs from urban encroachment, possible flash floods or other unforeseen disasters, a large stone wall has been constructed around the tombs and the wooden roof, originally built in 1910 to cover the open court of the tomb, has been strengthened and consolidated.

A team of archaeologists excavating an Ancient Egyptian tomb have discovered golden jewelry in a recently-discovered lower chamber at the Valley of the Kings burial site in Luxor, Egypt.
Two golden rings and five golden earrings were found in the tomb of Djehuty, an 18th-dynasty official of Queen Hatshepsut, and were probably the property of Djehuty or his family.
The discovery was announced by Farouk Hosni, Egypt's current Minister of Culture.
The Valley of the KingsDjehuty was overseer of the treasury and overseer of works for the Queen. Hatshepsut reigned approximately 1479–1458 BCE. Djehuty was responsible for managing the huge amounts of precious goods brought in from Egypt's military expedition to Punt in the Horn of Africa and the vast building projects of Hatshepsut which have made the female pharaoh one of the most-remembered of any from ancient Egypt.
Djehuty died after Hatshepsut did, sometime during the reign of Thutmosis III. Both Hatshepsut's and Thutmosis's names are recorded on the tomb. In a fashion typical of ancient Egyptian rivalries, Hatshepsut's name was partly obscured on the monument over the tomb sometime after the queen's death.
The team, led by José Manuel Galán of the National Research Center (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC), in Madrid, Spain, had been excavating the tomb, designated TT11 and located in the necropolis of Dra' Abu el-Naga', since 2002. While much of Djehuty's funerary equipment was lost to fire in antiquity, the lower chamber of his tomb was concealed at the end of a three-meter shaft and discovered at the end of 2008.
A superficial description of the tomb itself was recorded almost two hundred years ago by 19th-century French Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion, rubble blocking the entrance hindered excavation until the 21st century. In that time, emphasis in Egyptology has changed from the cataloging of treasures to the investigation of ancient culture, life and religion.
Since excavation began, Djehuty's tomb has yielded a number of surprises. It was discovered that the tomb was re-used repeatedly up to and during the Greco-Roman period. There is an unusual face-on depiction of pharaoh Thutmosis III hunting ducks, and the mummy of a young, bejewelled, as-yet unidentified woman.
HatshepsutIn 2007, 44 preserved bunches of flowers thought to be from Djehuty's funeral were found in the site. In their 8th season of excavation, which ended on February 22, 2009, the team also found considerable evidence that below Djehuty's tomb is a network of burial sites from the 11th dynasty, four thousand years old.
The lower chamber also displays passages from the Egyptian funerary text the Book of the Dead on its walls and a colorful mural of the goddess Nut, an embodiment of the heavens, on the ceiling. The names of Djehuty and his parents were also intact in the second chamber; the names were defaced in the previously-known first chamber of the tomb, which had also been looted.
According to a press release from Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Djehuty's tomb is only the fifth known decorated burial chamber of the 18th dynasty. An additional unusual feature of the tomb is that its upper chamber is decorated in relief, rather than simply paint. When the excavation is completed, Dr Galán's team plans to open the site to the public as the carved stoneworks will not be destroyed by tourists' activities as paint would.
The identification of Djehuty is a complicated one, as a number of officials of the 18th dynasty bore the name, including a general and several governors. The name itself is an alternate transliteration of the name of the Egyptian god usually written in English as Thoth.

Excavar una tumba misteriosa en la antigua Tebas es el sueño de cualquier egiptólogo. Ese sueño se ha convertido en una realidad para un equipo español que parte mañana hacia Luxor a fin de adentrarse en los secretos del sepulcro del noble Djehuty, un alto cargo de la Administración de Hatshepsut, la única mujer que reinó como faraón en la historia de Egipto. La tumba de Djehuty se encuentra en una de las necrópolis de la antigua Tebas, la de Dra Abu el Naga, vecina del Valle de los Reyes y del gran templo de la propia Hatshepsut, y está plena de enigmas.
Djehuty era tesorero y ministro de Hacienda de Hatshepsut (1505 antes de Cristo al 1484), y entre sus labores estaba, se cree, la supervisión de los tesoros que llegaban de las expediciones a Punt (Eritrea). Su tumba (TT-11 en el catálogo de tumbas tebanas), de 30 metros de largo, llena de inscripciones y relieves, fue localizada y recorrida, aunque precipitadamente, por Champollion, y, aunque otros egiptólogos la han visitado, está muy insuficientemente documentada -parte de la misma es inaccesible al estar bloqueada por escombros-, y parece guardar muchos secretos. Existen al menos dos pozos y cuatro cámaras sin investigar. Ni el sarcófago ni la momia de Djehuty han aparecido, así que podrían hallarse aún en el interior del monumento. Djehuty es un nombre frecuente en el Antiguo Egipto -faraones, un gobernador, un general de Tutmosis III- y es otra de las formas por las que se conoce al dios escriba Toth (de cabeza de ibis). Por esto último, y a causa de una confusión por las inscripciones, en época tardía se usó la tumba del noble como santuario del dios y sepulcro de ibis momificados. Atractivo añadido de la tumba es que se encuentra en conexión con otra más antigua, la de Hery (TT-12), supervisor del tesoro de la madre del rey Amosis, que también estudiará el grupo español.
La misión española, que trabajará en colaboración con un equipo egipcio del Consejo Supremo de Antigüedades, la dirige el egiptólogo especialista en epigrafía José Manuel Galán, de 38 años, miembro del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), y se compone de ocho personas, incluido un arquitecto del Instituto de Patrimonio Histórico, pues el estudio de la tumba incluye un proyecto de restauración de la misma. La expedición no es una misión oficial española, en el sentido de que no recibe subvención del Gobierno. La patrocina Telefónica y colabora la Sociedad Española de Egiptología.
El proyecto en la tumba establece un periodo inicial de excavaciones de cinco años y se pretende que al acabar pueda ser abierta al público. Galán subrayó que el hecho de que la tumba no esté pintada, sino decorada con bajorrelieves, la hará más fácil de adaptar a esas visitas sin que ello provoque daños. El egiptólogo califica de sensacional la posibilidad de excavar la tumba de Djehuty: 'La he visitado; en buena parte está llena de escombros que llegan hasta el techo, y hay que limpiarlos para ver qué hay detrás; estoy seguro de que nos esperan cosas fenomenales'. Galán ha visto entre los escombros momias de ibis y cerámica ceremonial, y confía en que entre los desechos aparecerán restos del enterramiento de Djehuty como amuletos o figuritas ushabti. El científico destaca la importancia de hallar cualquier inscripción o dato que pueda ayudar a entender la interesante época de Hatshepsut, que para legitimarse en el poder hubo de crear fórmulas nuevas expresadas en textos y plástica innovadores.
La investigación del equipo español, que cuenta con moderna tecnología electrónica, podrá seguirse en directo a través de una página web (www.excavacionegipto.com), que está previsto que se active mañana.
Galán recalcó lo excepcional de poder excavar una tumba en la necrópolis tebana, donde no excava un equipo español prácticamente desde los tiempos del catalán Eduard Toda, que lo hizo en la tumba de Sennedjem en 1886.

Ecuador firmó este miércoles el documento por el que se adhiere a la Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas (ALBA), al tiempo que ratificó su apoyo a otros mecanismos como la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN).
En una cumbre extraordinaria llevada a cabo en la ciudad venezolana de Maracay, a unos 130 kilómetros al oeste de Caracas, el presidente Rafael Correa destacó las bondades de la incorporación ecuatoriana al ALBA como medio para fortalecer la integración y la soberanía de los pueblos.
Correa señaló que “por supuesto que el ALBA es un proyecto político”, que fomenta la “solidaridad, la integración, ser dueños de nuestro propio destino” y agregó que “no hay que reducir la integración a la búsqueda de los mercados”.
El mandatario manifestó que su país no se aleja “de ningún proceso integracionista, siempre que no encubran o permitan la injerencia de quienes han tratado de aprovecharse de nuestras ganancias”.
Indicó que apoyaba la consolidación de la CAN, el Mercosur, Unasur y la creación de una comunidad de estados latinoamericanos y del Caribe.
En 2007 Ecuador había condicionado su inclusión al ALBA al regreso de Venezuela a la CAN, de la que este último país se salió por causa de la insistencia de otros de sus miembros – Colombia y Perú – en establecer acuerdos con Estados Unidos.
Hasta ahora Venezuela no ha formalizado ningún anuncio en el sentido de volver al grupo andino.
Firma y desfile
Los actos se produjeron en el marco de la conmemoración del 188° aniversario de la batalla de Carabobo, en la que Venezuela selló su independencia de la corona española y fueron precedidos por un desfile militar en el que participaron tropas y cadetes de cuatro de las naciones del ALBA.
Por su parte, el presidente Hugo Chávez – principal promotor del ALBA – destacó la importancia histórica de la incorporación de Ecuador, junto con las naciones caribeñas San Vicente y las Granadinas y Antigua y Barbuda que también formalizaron su adhesión este miércoles.
Chávez indicó que el ALBA pasaría a llamarse “ALBA TCP” (Tratado de Comercio de los Pueblos) e indicó que era una “osadía construir lo nuevo, echar atrás los modelos de dominación”.
Los actos se produjeron en el marco de la conmemoración del 188° aniversario de la batalla de Carabobo, en la que Venezuela selló su independencia de la corona española y fueron precedidos por un desfile militar en el que participaron tropas y cadetes de cuatro de las naciones del ALBA.
En el desfile, Chávez manifestó que Latinoamérica todavía estaba dando la batalla por la soberanía y que pueblo y soldado eran “la fórmula perfecta para hacer una verdadera revolución”.
Ausentes y desencuentros
La Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas fue creada en 2004 por iniciativa de Venezuela y Cuba, como contraparte al Área de Libre Comercio para las Américas (ALCA). Desde el principio se le unieron también Bolivia y Nicaragua.
Los presidentes de todos los países fundandores, menos Cuba, estuvieron presentes en la reunión de este miércoles. La ausencia del presidente Raúl Castro, cuya participación había sido confirmada por el propio Chávez la semana pasada, no pasó desapercibida por los observadores locales e internacionales, aunque no se informó del motivo del cambio de plan.
Sin embargo, el mandatario venezolano destacó el papel que tuvo Fidel Castro en la conformación del ALBA. Sin su aporte, dijo, no hubiera sido posible crearlo.
Chávez y Correa coincidieron también en atribuirle al trabajo del foro bolivariano el hecho de que la asamblea de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) levantara el veto que impedía a Cuba formar parte de esa organización, en su reunión de Honduras el mes pasado.
Chávez y su gobierno están manteniendo esa vinculación con esos países para que estos sigan apoyando al presidente venezolano en todo lo que hace Adolfo Taylhardart, ex vicecanciller de Venezuela
En lo que los mandatarios venezolano y ecuatoriano tuvieron un aparente desencuentro fue en relación con los mecanismos de seguimiento de los proyectos del ALBA. Correa insistió en que debían ser más frecuentes y eficaces, para que pudieran producir resultados concretos.
Chávez replicó que la estructura existente, y en particular la comisión política, había hecho un gran trabajo. Señaló que no era la primera vez que su par ecuatoriano lo “fustigaba” en esta materia. No obstante, manifestó estar de acuerdo con revisar el asunto.
“Ya me quiere sacar, presidente”, bromeó Correa, quien indicó que apenas llegando ya había empezado a “molestar”.
En todo caso, coincidieron en que el ALBA es un mecanismo de integración económica, pero también político y social. Algunos comentaristas critican al grupo por considerar que no atiende a ningún objetivo concreto de intercambio comercial, ya que los países que lo integran son económicamente parecidos y tienen poco que venderse los unos a los otros.
“Es un símbolo ideológico del presidente Rafael Correa, que busca afirmarse en sus definiciones con los gobiernos que tienen retóricas similares”, le dijo a BBC Mundo el analista político ecuatoriano Teodoro Bustamante.
“Chávez y su gobierno están manteniendo esa vinculación con esos países para que estos sigan apoyando al presidente venezolano en todo lo que hace”, indicó el internacionalista venezolano y ex vicencanciller, Adolfo Taylhardart.

Grupo del ALBA incorpora 3 nuevos miembros
24 de Junio de 2009, 11:25pm ET
MARACAY, Venezuela (AP) - El presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez anunció el miércoles la incorporación formal de Ecuador, San Vicente y las Granadinas, y Antigua y Barbuda, a la Alternativa Bolivariana para los Pueblos de América (ALBA), con lo que se elevan a nueve los miembros del grupo. Chávez dijo en la instalación de la VI cumbre extraordinaria del ALBA en la ciudad central de Maracay, que la adhesión de los tres nuevos estados es un hecho de importancia "histórica" que le da una "férrea configuración" al grupo que está conformado en la actualidad por Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Dominica, Honduras y Nicaragua. El mandatario afirmó que los miembros del ALBA se reúnen en Venezuela para "convocar a nuestro pueblo a la gran batalla por la independencia de nuestra América, ya que sólo la unión nos hará libres". El presidente ecuatoriano Rafael Correa dijo al formalizar la solicitud de adhesión de Ecuador al ALBA que la integración a este bloque regional no es una "negativa a los procesos integracionistas existentes".
Sostuvo que el gobierno ecuatoriano continuará apoyando a la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN), el Mercosur, la Unión de Naciones Sudamericanas (Unasur), y una "naciente organización de estados latinoamericanos y del Caribe". Correa afirmó que el ALBA es "proyecto político, un proyecto de solidaridad, de integración, ser dueño de nuestro propio destino, un proyecto socialista". "El ALBA es mucho más que un proyecto comercial, es integración energética, integración política, integración social", agregó. El mandatario venezolano también destacó que la voz del ALBA será escuchada en la cumbre sobre la crisis financiera global que fue inaugurada el miércoles en Naciones Unidas. El ALBA como un bloque tendrá de voceros a los presidente Ortega y el mandatario boliviano Evo Morales, indicó Chávez, quien envió en representación de Venezuela al ministro de Finanzas Alí Rodríguez. "Se va la voz del ALBA", dijo Chávez al despedir a sus colegas de Ecuador y Bolivia, quienes confirmaron su asistencia a la cumbre. Morales y Correa tenían previsto partir desde esta ciudad agro-industrial venezolana rumbo a Nueva York el miércoles por la noche. "Creo que alguien denunció que los países llamados desarrollados hicieron muchos esfuerzos para que esta cumbre en Estados Unidos no fuera una cumbre de presidentes y jefes de Estado, sino que fuera excluyente", agregó el gobernante venezolano, quien había abogado para que la reunión en Naciones Unidas congregara a los mandatarios del mundo. Durante un desfile militar que se realizó temprano en el estado centro costero de Carabobo por el Día del Ejército y la conmemoración de los 188 años de la Batalla de Carabobo que selló la independencia de Venezuela, Chávez dijo que la "revolución socialista es pacífica, pero no está desarmada". "Es una revolución armada la venezolana, y ahí están los soldados venezolanos con las armas del pueblo, prestos para defenderla; y no sólo para defenderla, sino para impulsarla cada día desde los cuarteles, en la calle, junto al pueblo siempre", agregó. El gobernante venezolano informó la creación de un "consejo de complementación económica" en el ALBA para impulsar la planificación económica, el intercambio y la inversión productiva, y los programas de cooperación, así como un "consejo social" para impulsar los programas sociales. A la VI cumbre del ALBA asistieron además de Correa y Morales, el presidente Daniel Ortega de Nicaragua; el vicepresidente de Cuba José Ramón Machado Ventura, los primeros ministros Ralph Gonsalves de San Vicente y las Granadinas, Winston Baldwin Spencer de Antigua y Barbuda y Roosevelt Skerrit de Dominica, así como los cancilleres Peter David de Granada y Patricia Rodas de Honduras. El ALBA es grupo que se conformó en diciembre del 2004 bajo el impulso de Venezuela para contrarrestar al Area de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA) promovido por Estados Unidos. Chávez ha sido uno de los principales opositores a la creación de una Zona de Libre Comercio de las Américas pues afirma que beneficiará a Estados Unidos y a otros países industrializados a costa de las economías latinoamericanas.

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Scotland Yard has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged misuse of expenses by a small number of MPs and peers, the BBC has learned. Police say its economic and specialist crime command will investigate. Labour's David Chaytor has confirmed he is one of the MPs under scrutiny, and the BBC understands his party colleague Elliot Morley will also be interviewed. Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph says more than 50 MPs have claimed expenses for council tax they have not paid. The MPs are said to have claimed more than the rates of tax published by town halls. Scotland Yard's investigation follows a public outcry about the way some MPs used their allowances. The decision to launch an investigation follows several weeks of preliminary inquiries by a team of police investigators, prosecutors and legal experts. Two weeks ago police said it was highly unlikely anyone would face prosecution, but now appear to have changed their minds. SURPRISE IN WESTMINSTER Terry Stiastny This decision by the Metropolitan Police to start an investigation came as something of a surprise to a Westminster which had come to believe that it would be unlikely. But a joint team set up by the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to look into the issue has obviously now come to the conclusion that undertaking an investigation is the best course of action. The police say it concerns "a small number" of MPs and peers; only the Labour MP David Chaytor has so far confirmed that he has been in contact with the police. He says that he will co-operate and hopes to clear his name. But this is a new twist in the tale of MPs' expenses and one which serves to remind people about a saga which politicians were hoping to be able to put behind them in favour of talking about how to reform the system for the future. Mr Chaytor said his solicitor had been contacted by the police. He said he would co-operate fully with the investigation once he was invited for an interview. "I want to explain my case, explain what happened. I've acknowledged that there is an error here and I want to clear my name," he told the BBC. In a statement, the Labour Party said: "It would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing police investigation; however we always expect all Labour Party representatives and members to cooperate fully with the police. "The Labour Party has already taken tough action on expenses, including barring MPs found to have broken the rules from standing as Labour candidates at the next general election." The Conservative Party has declined to comment. The BBC has so far been unable to speak to the two Labour MPs and the Labour peer thought to be among those under investigation. Questions Mr Chaytor, Labour MP for Bury North, and Mr Morley, Labour MP for Scunthorpe, both announced they would stand down after it emerged they claimed interest payments for mortgages they had paid off. Labour peer Baroness Uddin, who apparently claimed an empty Maidstone flat was her main home so she could claim expenses for peers living outside London, may also face questions, the BBC understands. If there is wrongdoing it needs to be investigated
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson
MPs explain expenses repayments Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has been holding a series of talks with Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer over the allegations. The senior officer said his detectives would follow the evidence. Speaking on Thursday, he said: "We will make a decision on what the evidence is or is not." He said the Parliamentary authorities have given "good co-operation" after investigators asked for more information. Two weeks ago, the Metropolitan Police ruled out wide-ranging action against the majority of parliamentarians embroiled in the controversy. Officers believe there is only a realistic chance of prosecution in cases where it can be proved individuals misled Parliament's Fees Office. Constituents' anger Mr Chaytor has said he would pay back £13,000 after admitting an "unforgivable error" in continuing to submit £1,175 monthly bills for a paid-off loan. Mr Morley was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party after admitting a similar £16,000 claim and referring himself to the Westminster sleaze watchdog. The investigation will be overseen by the Metropolitan Police's temporary assistant commissioner Janet Williams, a former special branch commander. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. In a statement, the force said: "After consideration by the joint Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service assessment panel the Met has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged misuse of expenses by a small number of MPs and peers." On Friday Parliament published a list of MPs who have repaid claims, suggesting 182 from all parties had returned money totalling £478,616. Many said that while claims had been within the rules, they were responding to constituents' anger. The scandal has enveloped all the major parties and prompted the resignations of at least two cabinet ministers. Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said in an interview with BBC World that it was "inevitable" that the police would become involved. "If there is wrongdoing it needs to be investigated. That's how we do things in Britain," he added. The House of Commons is coming under mounting pressure to abandon security measures which allowed large swathes of MPs' expense claims to be censored. Council tax claims Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph said many MPs' claims for council tax on their second homes had been in excess of town halls' published rates by house band. It also said 18 of the 50 politicians accused over their council tax claims had already made re-payments to the Commons Fees Office. The paper says Labour MP Eric Illsley was accused of over-claiming by more than £6,000 between 2004 and 2008, but refused to comment. Former minister Beverley Hughes was said to have profited by up to £2,000 - she told the paper she was checking her records, but did not believe the amount was as much as that. Ex-home secretary David Blunkett told the Telegraph he may have over-claimed by £178, while government whip Mark Tami allegedly profited by about £1,500. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Mr Tami said: "I am going to look into whether I have over-claimed and if I have then clearly I will pay back any over-claim." Tory MPs David Willetts and Jeremy Hunt admitted to having over-claimed for council tax by about £500 each, the Telegraph said. Mr Willetts said it was possible that he had "inadvertently" claimed for an 11th month while his council tax bills were divided into 10 payments. "If I have inadvertently made incorrect claims I will of course pay any money back," he said.

According to the BBC, the Metropolitan Police Service of London in the United Kingdom announced today that its Specialist Crime Directorate will start an investigation into members of the U.K. Parliament, or MPs, who have been implicated in the on-going scandal about MPs' expense claims. The investigation will be overseen by Janet Williams, a former special branch commander and run by the economic and specialist crime command unit.
The House of Commons & Big Ben, London
Since the ''The Daily Telegraph'' published details of MPs expenses, which ranged from a floating duck house to a pornographic movie for the husband of an MP, there has been public outrage at the claims. Many MPs have been forced to step down at the next general election.
On Friday, Parliament published the list of MPs expenses that ''The Telegraph'' had received, but with many claims blacked out and redacted. This in itself has provoked surprise and anger with the British public.
The Met was quoted as saying "After consideration by the joint Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service assessment panel the Met has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged misuse of expenses by a small number of MPs and Peers."
The police did not name any of the people who were to be investigated, but the BBC reported that through its own sources it had discovered that they included Labour members of the lower house of Parliament, the House of Commons, David Chaytor and Elliot Morley, and Labour member of the upper house of Parliament, the House of Lords, Baroness Uddin.
Mr. Chaytor confirmed that the police had contacted his solicitor, and that he expected to be talking to the police within the next few days, to (in his words) "explain my case, explain what happened", and "clear my name".
Any expenses claims made will be investigated to see whether they constitute offences. Such offences are likely, by their natures, to be offences under the 2006 Fraud Act, in particular "Fraud by false representation", as defined in § 2 of the Act. (This covers claims made over the past year, approximately. Any expenses claimed prior to that Act coming into force would have to constitute offences under the Theft Act 1978.) One consequence of this is that only those members of Parliament whose claims might have been dishonestly made will be subject to investigation.
The requirement, that the claim be dishonest for it to be fraud by false representation, means that any MPs' expense claims that correctly and honestly described what expenses were being claimed, or that were incorrect but not known by the MP to be incorrect when they were made, will not qualify as fraud according to law. An expense claim for (for example) a floating duck house is not fraud under the Act if it really ''was'' for a floating duck house, as claimed. Whereas an expense claim for (for example) payments for a mortgage that did not exist would qualify as fraud under the Act, subject to the additional requirement that the person making the expense claim ''knew'' that the mortgage that did not exist and thus was making a knowingly false representation about the thing being claimed for.

Scotland Yard today announced that it will launch an investigation into alleged cases of the misuse of expenses by MPs.
At 5.10pm, the Metropolitan police announced an inquiry into a "small number" of MPs and peers would be carried out, but refused to confirm names.
Police had originally said they would not be pursuing the matter.
The decision to launch an investigation came as the leaders of the major political parties announced that, in future, all expenses would be published in full with no redcation of key information.
The next tranche of MP's expenses, for the financial year that ended in April, is due to be published in October.
Officers from the Met's economic and specialist crime command will conduct the investigation, which will be overseen by the Met's temporary assistant commissioner, Janet Williams, a former special branch commander.
In a statement, the force said: "After consideration by the joint Metropolitan police and Crown Prosecution Service assessment panel, the Met has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged misuse of expenses by a small number of MPs and peers."
Police sources had previously indicated that, if any criminal investigations were launched, they would be into allegations of fraud.
Sources say those cases in which an MP might have claimed interest for a mortgage they had paid off might warrant a criminal inquiry for fraud. Other inquiries could be in to phantom travel expenses.
Labour MPs Elliot Morley and David Chaytor both continued to claim for mortgage interest payments despite having paid off their loans - £16,000 and £13,000 respectively. Labour peer Baroness Uddin is accused of claiming as much as £100,000 for a property reportedly left empty, while the Conservative Bill Wiggin claimed £11,000 in parliamentary allowances for a property he owned outright.
Police and leading prosecutors have spent several weeks going through suspicious claims from MPs and peers.
Officers have interviewed staff in the fees office as part of their inquiry to satisfy themselves that MPs were following the rules in most cases.
They are refusing to say how soon any charges if any could be brought.
Parliament today published a list of MPs who have repaid claims, suggesting that 182 from all parties had returned a total of £478,616.
Most MPs insist their behaviour was within the rules and that they paid money back to alleviate voter anger.

According to the BBC, the Metropolitan Police Service of London in the United Kingdom announced today that its Specialist Crime Directorate will start an investigation into members of the U.K. Parliament, or MPs, who have been implicated in the on-going scandal about MPs' expense claims. The investigation will be overseen by Janet Williams, a former special branch commander and run by the economic and specialist crime command unit.
The House of Commons & Big Ben, London
Since the ''The Daily Telegraph'' published details of MPs expenses, which ranged from a floating duck house to a pornographic movie for the husband of an MP, there has been public outrage at the claims. Many MPs have been forced to step down at the next general election.
On Friday, Parliament published the list of MPs expenses that ''The Telegraph'' had received, but with many claims blacked out and redacted. This in itself has provoked surprise and anger with the British public.
The Met was quoted as saying "After consideration by the joint Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service assessment panel the Met has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged misuse of expenses by a small number of MPs and Peers."
The police did not name any of the people who were to be investigated, but the BBC reported that through its own sources it had discovered that they included Labour members of the lower house of Parliament, the House of Commons, David Chaytor and Elliot Morley, and Labour member of the upper house of Parliament, the House of Lords, Baroness Uddin.
Mr. Chaytor confirmed that the police had contacted his solicitor, and that he expected to be talking to the police within the next few days, to (in his words) "explain my case, explain what happened", and "clear my name".
Any expenses claims made will be investigated to see whether they constitute offences. Such offences are likely, by their natures, to be offences under the 2006 Fraud Act, in particular "Fraud by false representation", as defined in § 2 of the Act. (This covers claims made over the past year, approximately. Any expenses claimed prior to that Act coming into force would have to constitute offences under the Theft Act 1978.) One consequence of this is that only those members of Parliament whose claims might have been dishonestly made will be subject to investigation.
The requirement, that the claim be dishonest for it to be fraud by false representation, means that any MPs' expense claims that correctly and honestly described what expenses were being claimed, or that were incorrect but not known by the MP to be incorrect when they were made, will not qualify as fraud according to law. An expense claim for (for example) a floating duck house is not fraud under the Act if it really ''was'' for a floating duck house, as claimed. Whereas an expense claim for (for example) payments for a mortgage that did not exist would qualify as fraud under the Act, subject to the additional requirement that the person making the expense claim ''knew'' that the mortgage that did not exist and thus was making a knowingly false representation about the thing being claimed for.

Le Musée McCord inaugure une exposition permanente : Porter son identité.
Elle regroupe des vêtements et des accessoires portés par les peuples autochtones du Canada, du Nouveau-Brunswick à la Colombie-Britannique, en passant par le Nunavut.
Situer les premiers peuples
Dès l'entrée, une carte du Canada localise la quarantaine de nations autochtones représentées. Des membres des différentes communautés ont prêté leur voix à l'exposition. La conservatrice, Guylaine Lemay, explique : « Quand ils se présentent, ils vont dire leur nom, leur nom autochtone et souvent la nation à laquelle ils appartiennent ainsi que l'endroit d'où ils viennent, puisque le territoire fait aussi partie de leur identité ».
Photo : Musée McCord, ME928.8.1-2
Du 19e siècle à aujourd'hui
Porter son identité réunit une centaine d'objets : des parkas de peaux de phoque, des mocassins et des robes brodées avec des perles et des piquants de porc-épic, des bijoux et des outils. L'artiste autochtone Nadia Myre a sélectionné les oeuvres contemporaines, à titre de conservatrice invitée du Musée McCord. L'exposition Porter son identité se termine avec la Loi sur les Indiens datant de 1914 qui interdisait aux Autochtones de porter leurs vêtements traditionnels à l'extérieur de leur réserve.

Mettre en valeur l'art autochtone
La culture des Autochtones a longtemps été réprimée, comme l'a démontré la Commission de vérité et réconciliation. Nadia Myre salue l'ouverture d'une salle dédiée aux premiers peuples : « Je trouve que l'expo arrive à un très bon moment pour continuer le travail qui a été fait avec la Commission de vérité et réconciliation depuis quelques années ». Selon Guylaine Lemay, la collection est une petite contribution pour montrer la richesse et la complexité de l'identité autochtone.

Totem amérindien de la collection du musée McCord.
Le musée McCord de Montréal inaugurait le 1 mai 2013 sa nouvelle exposition permanente sur les peuples autochtones canadiens intitulée ''Porter son identité''. Les visiteurs du musée pourront y voir des vêtements et accessoires portés par une quarantaine de peuples amérindiens du Canada provenant des provinces maritimes jusqu'au Pacifique sans oublier le Nord canadien.
L'exposition présente une centaine d'objets : . Les vêtements autochtones sont de vrais révélateurs du statut social de celui qui le porte, par exemple la grandeur du sac dorsale du parka de peau de phoque, un vêtement féminin, nous indique s'il s'agit d'une mère, d'une veuve ou d'une jeune fille.
En plus de présenter des objets, l'exposition aborde le sujet de la Loi sur les Indiens de 1914 qui réprimait leur culture et leur interdisait même de porter des vêtements traditionnels hors des réserves. L'exposition poursuit en quelque sorte le travail de prise de conscience des Canadiens face aux Amérindiens débuté par la « Commission de vérité et réconciliation ».

Brüssel - Die Staats- und Regierungschefs der EU gaben heute in Brüssel grünes Licht für einen Vorschlag der EU-Kommission. Nach EU-Angaben ist der Plan mit den USA, Russland und der Uno abgestimmt. "Wir haben das natürlich zusammen mit unseren Partnern gemacht", sagte EU-Außenkommissarin Benita Ferrero-Waldner vor Journalisten.
Die EU hatte im April beschlossen, keine Gelder mehr über die von der radikal-islamischen Hamas-Bewegung geführte Palästinenserregierung zu leiten. Die Hamas, die von der EU als Terrororganisation betrachtet wird, erkennt Israel nicht an und will sich auch nicht von der Gewalt lossagen. Die Regierung steht nach der Einstellung der EU-Zahlungen und nach einem Stopp des Transfers von Steuergeldern aus Israel vor dem finanziellen Kollaps.
Das von der EU vorgeschlagene System sieht "Beihilfen" an Angestellte des Gesundheitssektors vor, die keine Gehälter mehr bekommen. Diese "Beihilfen", über deren Höhe die Kommission keine Angaben machte, sollen von Juli an gezahlt werden.
Zunächst soll die Auszahlung über die Vertretung der EU, später über die Weltbank laufen. In einem zweiten Bereich begleicht die EU direkt die Rechnungen von Energieversorgern für die Palästinensergebiete. In einem dritten Bereich sind Hilfen für Bedürftige vorgesehen. Die genauen Modalitäten für den Bezug solcher Hilfen stehen noch nicht fest. Wie es heißt, sollen als "Bedürftige" auch Lehrer gelten, gegen deren Einbeziehung in das "Beihilfen"-System analog zum Gesundheitswesen die USA Bedenken angemeldet hatten. Die EU war in den vergangenen Jahren mit jährlich insgesamt rund 500 Millionen Euro größter Geldgeber der Palästinensergebiete.

Die Staats- und Regierungschefs der Europäischen Union haben am Freitag, dem 16. Juni, 100 Millionen Euro für die medizinische Versorgung in den Palästinensergebieten bereit gestellt. Trotzdem wird die EU weiterhin an ihrem Beschluss vom 8. April festhalten (Wikinews berichtete), die radikal-islamische Hamas-Regierung unter Ismail Haniyeh nicht durch europäische Hilfszahlungen zu unterstützen. „Wir haben das natürlich zusammen mit unseren Partnern gemacht“, so die EU-Kommissarin für Außenbeziehungen und europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, in einer Pressekonferenz vor Journalisten.
Der Vorschlag der EU-Kommission sieht vor, ab Juli Unterstützungsgelder an Angestellte im Gesundheitssektor zu zahlen, die von der Hamas-Regierung kein Gehalt mehr ausgezahlt bekommen. Die Auszahlung der Gelder soll zuerst über die Vertretung der EU und danach über die Weltbank abgewickelt werden. Zudem hat sich die EU bereit erklärt, die Energieversorgung der Palästinensergebiete finanziell zu sichern.

SÃO PAULO - Depois de crescer dez pontos percentuais entre 2006 e 2007, período de forte expansão da economia brasileira, a classe C se manteve praticamente estável em 2008, com ligeira queda de 46% para 45% da população do país . Com isso, 1,6 milhão de brasileiros retornaram para as classes D e E ao longo do ano passado. Os dados fazem parte da 4ª edição da pesquisa Observador, divulgada nesta quarta-feira pela financeira Cetelem (ligada ao banco francês BNP Paribas) em parceria com o instituto Ipsos-Public Affairs. Eles vão na contramão do levantamento anterior (2006/2007), quando cerca de 20 milhões de pessoas haviam migrado para a classe média, elevando a sua participação de 36% para 46%.
Em números absolutos, o estudo mostra que, enquanto a classe média encolheu de 86.207 milhões para 84.621 milhões de pessoas, as camadas A e B, as mais abastadas, e D e E, as menos favorecidas, aumentaram seus contingentes: A e B, de 28.078 milhões para 29.377 milhões; e a D e E, de 72.941 milhões para 75.822 milhões.
Apesar da freada brusca no crescimento da classe média brasileira, Marcos Etchegoyen, vice-presidente da Cetelem no Brasil, considera que a pirâmide social se manteve estável e a classe C acabou se confirmando como o principal grupo do país, mesmo depois de um ano marcado pela agravamento da crise financeira no país.
Segundo ele, a redução ligeira da participação da classe C na população não deve ser creditada aos efeitos crise, mas ao processo de consolidação dos números. Ele mostra que o estudo aponta dados positivos para a renda familiar dos brasileiros que cresceu, em média, 11% em todas as faixas sociais em 2008. Mas, desta vez, com as camadas A e B registraram maior crescimento (16,5%) em relação as outras classes, cujo rendimento mensal passou de R$ 2.217 para R$ 2.586. Nas camadas D e E, o aumento da renda foi o menor, de 12%, avançando de R$ 580, em 2007, para R$ 650, no ano passado. Já na C, a renda mensal das famílias teve um incremento de 13%, atingindo R$ 1.201, contra R$ 1.062 antes.
- Houve uma consolidação de um processo de ganho de toda a sociedade. Consolidação é a palavra-chave, até porque não dá para crescer indefinidamente - disse Etchegoyen, lembrando que o Brasil atingiu um patamar de desenvolvimento social nos últimos anos que a crise não deve prejudicar. - O desafio é fazer com que essa consolidação da renda das famílias se mantenha no próximo levantamento.

Slowing consumer spending has put pressure on High Street retailers
Littlewoods is also selling the remaining 33 shops in the Index estate to retail giant GUS, which will convert them into Argos stores.
Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay bought the Liverpool-based business for £750m in 2002.
Littlewoods said the Index stores had accumulated losses of more than £100m in their 20-year history.
The latest closures follow the demise of Allders and The Gadget Shop, hit by the slowdown in consumer spending.
Heavy losses
Littlewoods said 50% its 66 stand-alone Index stores would be closed within the next six months. The rest will be sold off to GUS for £44m.
Index has made a loss in nearly every year of its 20-year history
David Simons, chairman
A further 93 Index stores located inside Littlewoods outlets will be closed, with the floor space retained by Littlewoods.
Index employs a total of 4,000 staff, and about 800 of them will be transferred to Argos, which is owned by GUS.
GUS said it planned to convert the 33 sites into Argos stores within three months of finalising the deal.
Littlewoods refused to name which stores were being shut down or sold until after staff were informed.
However, the company said at least 350 jobs at its distribution centre in Moxley, West Midlands and 170 posts at its Liverpool head office were likely to be axed.
"Index has made a loss in nearly every year of its 20-year history, and has accumulated losses of over £100m despite many attempts by different management teams to turn the business around," said chairman David Simons.
'Devastating'
Union officials said workers were shocked by news of the job losses and said the decision had come completely out of the blue.
LITTLEWOODS HISTORY 1923 - Littlewoods Pools founded by the late Sir John Moores 1937 - first Littlewoods store opened in Blackpool 1985 - first Index store opened 1995 - Index Extra launched, Littlewoods' first direct catalogue store 1999 Littlewoods Leisure sold to Rodime for £161m 2002 - LW Investments buys Littlewoods from the Moores family for £750m
"Our members who have contributed to the success of this company have been left reeling and utterly shocked by this devastating news," said John Gorle, of shopworkers' union Usdaw.
Usdaw said it would urge Littlewoods to redeploy as many staff as possible into other parts of the group.
Now the Index sites are facing closure, speculation is mounting that the Barclay brothers are also poised to sell the 119-strong Littlewoods stores chain, with discount clothing retailer Primark tipped as a potential bidder.

The large UK retail group Littlewoods is set to make 3,200 staff redundant and close 126 of its Index catalogue-based shops. It intends to sell the remaining 33 stores to its largest rival Argos.
The firm revealed that it had made accumulated losses at the Index chain of more than GBP 100 million (EUR 146 million, US$190 million) in their 20-year history.
Index currently employs about 4 000 staff, 3 200 will lose their jobs and the rest will be transferred to Argos, which is owned by GUS Plc. Great Universal Stores Plc, a FTSE 100 member, is one of the UK's largest retail firms controlling the successful Argos and Homebase chains. GUS is to pay Littlewoods GBP 44 million (EUR 64 million, US$ 83 million) for the 33 stores.
Littlewoods is owned by Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay who bought the business in 2002 for GBP 750 million (EUR 1.1 billion, US$ 1.42 billion).
The company is one in a line of retailers feeling the pinch of consumers spending including Allders and The Gadget Shop.
There are rumours around that the Littlewoods chain of stores is also going soon, possibly to the Associated British Foods-owned discount clothing retailer Primark.

Littlewoods to Cut 3,200 Jobs; Sell 33 Index Shops (Update1)
April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Littlewoods Plc, a U.K. department store chain, plans to eliminate about 3,200 jobs at its Index catalogue store unit after selling 33 Index shops to GUS Plc's Argos unit and shutting the rest.
GUS will pay 44 million pounds ($83.3 million) for its Index stores and will take on about 800 employees, Liverpool, England- based Littlewoods said in an e-mailed statement today.
``Index has made a loss in nearly every year of its 20 year history and has accumulated losses of over 100 million pounds despite many attempts by different management teams to turn the business around,'' Littlewoods Chairman David Simons said. ``The decision to divest the business has not been an easy one to make, but it is the only solution.''
Frederick and David Barclay, the billionaire brothers who own London's Ritz hotel, bought Littlewoods for 750 million pounds in 2002 from the company's founders. They are now trying to sell the business, U.K. newspapers have reported. Potential acquirers include Primark, a unit of Associated British Foods Plc, and Wal- Mart Stores Inc.'s Asda unit, the Financial Times reported April 9, without saying where it got the information.
The announcement of the job cuts comes just two days after MG Rover Group Ltd., the British maker of MG sports cars, said it plans to fire about 5,000 workers because Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. scrapped takeover talks and left the insolvent company near collapse.
`Lacks Scale'
The stores are being sold and shut now because the Barclay brothers decided they had spent long enough trying to turn around the Index chain, said Susan Gilchrist, an external spokeswoman for Littlewoods.
``It's clear that it's not going to be turned around,'' Gilchrist said in a telephone interview. ``It really lacks the scale and the brand power that Argos has.''
Gilchrist said the job losses will be scattered around the U.K. About 1,900 of the jobs will be lost from Index concessions within Littlewoods stores and 780 from stand alone shops, she said. About 180 jobs will be cut from the head office in Liverpool and 350 from a site in Moxley, in the West Midlands, she said.
Littlewoods hasn't had any contact with the British government about the job cuts, she said. It will start talks with the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers, she said.
Argos will buy 33 of Index's 66 stand-alone stores and the remainder will be sold and closed over a period of up to six months, Littlewoods said. The 93 Index stores that are within the Littlewoods store outlets will also be closed.
Index has about 4,000 employees in total.

Littlewoods to slash 3,200 jobs
LONDON (Reuters) - Littlewoods said on Sunday it would close most of its Index chain of catalogue retail stores and sell the rest, leaving about 3,200 employees without jobs.
Catalogue-store group Argos, owned by Gus Plc, will buy 33 of the 66 standalone Index stores for 44 million pounds, and take on the 800 employees of those stores.
The remaining 33 standalone stores will be sold and closed over the next six months, along with the 93 Index stores that are located inside Littlewoods outlets.
"Index has made a loss in nearly every year of its 20 year history, and has accumulated losses of over 100 million pounds despite many attempts by different management teams to turn the business around," Littlewoods Chairman David Simons said.
Littlewoods is owned by entrepreneurial twin brothers David and Frederick Barclay, who also own the Ritz Hotel and the Telegraph newspaper group.

O governo do presidente Michel Temer foi considerado ruim ou péssimo por 70% da população, de acordo com a pesquisa CNI/Ibope. Já 5% consideram ótimo ou bom, 21% regular e 3% não sabem ou não responderam. O levantamento foi divulgado hoje (27) pela Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI).
A pesquisa CNI-Ibope do segundo trimestre de 2017 foi realizada entre 13 e 16 de julho, com 2 mil pessoas em 125 municípios e revela a avaliação dos brasileiros sobre o desempenho do governo federal. No último levantamento, divulgado em março, 10% dos entrevistados avaliaram o governo como ótimo ou bom, 31% como regular, 55% como ruim ou péssimo e 4% não souberam ou não responderam.
A margem de erro da pesquisa é de 2% e o nível de confiança utilizado é de 95%.
A popularidade do presidente Michel Temer caiu a seu nível mais baixo. Segundo a CNI, o nível de pessoas que avaliam o governo como ótimo ou bom é o pior desde o final do governo de José Sarney, em julho de 1989, que foi de 7%. “Dentro da margem de erro é tão pior quanto Sarney”, disse o gerente executivo de Pesquisa e Competitividade da CNI, Renato da Fonseca. “Em termos de ruim ou péssimo, está igual a avaliação da presidente Dilma próximo do impeachment, 70%”, disse.
Segundo a pesquisa CNI-Ibope, o percentual dos entrevistados que confiam em Temer caiu de 17%, em março, para 10%, em julho. Já 87% não confiam no presidente; na última avaliação, esse percentual era de 79%. O nível de pessoas que desaprova a maneira do presidente Temer governar também subiu de 73% para 83%. Entre os que aprovam a maneira de governar, eram 20% em março, agora são apenas 11%.
Para Fonseca, a crise econômica teve um peso muito forte na avaliação ruim do presidente, aliada à intensificação da crise política após a delação premiada dos executivos da JBS. “O desemprego continua elevado e, por mais que a inflação esteja caindo, as pessoas não percebem a queda nos preços, porque com inflação menor, os preços continuam subindo, só que menos”, ressaltou.
“A popularidade já era baixa em razão da crise econômica, mas tinha grande parte da população acreditando na retomada, na continuidade das reformas e que a solução estaria próxima. Na medida que a crise política se intensifica, você começa a gerar dúvidas nessas soluções e isso fez com que a popularidade caísse esse montante”, disse o gerente executivo da CNI.
Áreas de atuação
A queda na provação do governo Temer alcança todas as nove áreas de atuação avaliadas na pesquisa. A área com pior avaliação é impostos, com 87% de desaprovação e 9% de aprovação. “Cabe ressaltar que a pesquisa foi realizada antes do aumento no PIS-Cofins sobre combustíveis”, informou a CNI.
A saúde foi a segunda área pior avaliada com 85% de desaprovação e 13% de aprovação. Taxa de juros conta com 84% de desaprovação e 11% de aprovação. Segurança pública e combate ao desemprego também registraram percentuais de desaprovação superiores a 80%.
Perspectiva
As perspectivas para o tempo restante do governo também não são positivas, segundo a CNI. Para 65% dos entrevistados, o restante do governo será ruim ou péssimo, para 22% será regular e para 9% será ótimo ou bom.
Para 52% dos entrevistados, o governo Temer está sendo pior que o governo da presidente Dilma Rousseff. Em março, esse índice era de 41%. Já 11% acham que o governo Temer está sendo melhor e 35% consideram igual ao governo Dilma.
Para Fonseca, a recuperação econômica pode ajudar a aumentar a popularidade. “Ontem teve a redução de juros novamente pelo Banco Central e a economia vai começar a responder a esses juros menores. À medida que a população perceber efetivamente, ou seja, que o emprego voltar a crescer e que a rende deixar de ser reduzida pela inflação, vai começar a mudar os índices de popularidade do governo”, disse.
A pesquisa completa está disponível no site da CNI.

Pesquisa CNI/Ibope divulgada nesta quinta-feira, 27, revela que a aprovação do governo do presidente Michel Temer (PMDB) caiu de 10% para 5% entre março e julho deste ano
Alvo de denúncia do procurador-geral da República, Rodrigo Janot, por corrupção passiva, o peemedebista teve seu governo considerado ruim ou péssimo por 70% da população, de acordo com a pesquisa. No levantamento anterior, divulgado há cerca de quatro meses, o porcentual dos que avaliavam o governo como ruim ou péssimo era de 55%.
Já 21% consideram regular, ante 31% no último levantamento, e 3% não sabem ou não responderam.

Robert McClelland
Die Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) hat eine Sondereinheit zur Bekämpfung von Cyber-Angriffen eingerichtet. Der Justizminister Robert McClelland will damit dem Geheimdienst eine Möglichkeit geben, Angriffe anderer Staaten aus dem Internet abzuwehren. Eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit dem australischen Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) und der Cybersicherheitsstelle des militärischen Geheimdiensts Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) ist geplant.
Grund für die Einrichtung war das 2009 entdeckte „GhostNet“, ein Spionagenetzwerk das 1295 Rechner in 103 Ländern ausgespäht hatte, zahlreiche Daten wurden gestohlen. Das Netzwerk arbeitet hauptsächlich über Rechner in China. Ein Hauptziel waren die Rechner in Büros des Dalai Lama. Ein weiterer Grund die Denial-of-Service-Attacke (DDoS) auf Server der estnischen Regierung im Jahr 2007. Cyber-Angriffe häuften sich und rücken mehr und mehr in den Blick der Öffentlichkeit.
Robert McClelland; „Angesichts solcher massiver Angriffe sowie der terroristischen Bedrohungen für das Netz kann die Regierung nicht die Hände in den Schoss legen. Man wird darauf hinarbeiten, internationale Vereinbarungen für Cyberuntersuchungen zu verbessern. Beschlossene Sache ist der Beitritt zur Cybercrime-Konvention des Europarats“. Diese wurde bereits am 8. November 2001 beschlossen und regelt unter anderem den Datenaustausch zwischen den Ländern zur Abwehr von Cyber-Angriffen.
Erst vor kurzem wurde durch den „Telecommunications Interception and Intelligent Services Act“ die Befugnisse der ASIO bei der Internetüberwachung erweitert.

Die Nato will den Bündnisfall auf elektronische Angriffe ausweiten. Eine Reihe von Cyber-Attacken in den letzten Jahren hat Experten weltweit aufgeschreckt.
Am 27.April 2007 ist erstmals ein Land abgestürzt. Von mehr als einer Million elektronisch gekaperter Computer in über 100 Ländern ging ein konzertierter Angriff aus, dem das kleine Estland wenig entgegenzusetzen hatte: Die zentralen Computer von Ministerien und Sicherheitsbehörden wurden ebenso lahmgelegt wie jene von Banken und Medien. Der Angriff war erst nach drei Wochen vorbei und verursachte laut Regierung Schäden von bis zu 28Millionen Euro.
Drei Jahre später wird die Nato in einem neuen strategischen Konzept auf die Bedrohung aus den Weiten des Web reagieren: Der Bündnisfall – ein Angriff auf ein Mitglied gilt als Angriff auf die Allianz und löst Beistandsverpflichtungen aus – soll auf Cyber-Attacken ausgeweitet werden; so sieht es der Entwurf der neuen Nato-Strategie von Generalsekretär Anders Føgh Rasmussen vor, der auf dem Gipfel der Allianz Anfang November in Lissabon beschlossen werden soll. Eine Expertengruppe unter Leitung von Ex-US-Außenministerin Madeleine Albright war zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass sich die Nato und ihre Mitglieder gegen „unkonventionelle Bedrohungen“ wie Cyber-Angriffe wappnen müssen. Diese könnten kollektive Verteidigungsmaßnahmen legitimieren.
Auch die EU ist aufgewacht: Am Donnerstag stellte die Kommission ein Maßnahmenpaket vor, um besser gegen Cyber-Attacken gerüstet zu sein. Schon Mitte 2008 hat die Nato ein „Cyber Defence Center“ eingerichtet, eine Forschungsstelle zur Abwehr von Hackerangriffen, passenderweise in Estland, dem Opfer des digitalen Erstschlags. Der wurde damals mit einer Distributed-Denial-of-Service-Attacke (DDoS) geführt. Dabei setzt man Server mit einem Tsunami paralleler Anfragen außer Gefecht. Das Prinzip war bekannt, doch einen Angriff dieser Größenordnung hatte es noch nicht gegeben.
Web War One
Jahrelang hatten Experten gewarnt, wurden Horrorszenarien ausgebreitet, dass fremde „Mächte“ – staatlich oder nicht staatlich – mittels Cyber-Angriff die Kontrolle über alles, von der Ampel bis zum Atomkraftwerk, übernehmen könnten. Mit dem 27.April 2007 trat die Welt tatsächlich in das Zeitalter der Cyber-Kriege ein. Zum Schlagwort von „Web War One“ war es nicht mehr weit.
Estland hatte rasch einen Urheber ausgemacht: den Kreml. Dem elektronischen Angriff war ein Streit mit Russland um die Versetzung eines sowjetischen Kriegerdenkmals in Tallinn vorausgegangen. Es gab zwar Hin- aber keine Beweise, und damit zeigte Web War One ein Grundproblem bei digitalen Angriffen: Die Täter sind oft schwer bis gar nicht aufzuspüren. Estlands Verteidigungsminister musste noch Monate später zugeben, dass man nichts gegen Russland in der Hand hatte – bis sich im März 2009 die Kreml-Jugendorganisation „Naschi“ zu dem Angriff bekannte.
Russland geriet auch sofort unter Verdacht, als im August 2008 die Server der georgischen Regierung durch eine massive DDoS-Attacke lahmgelegt wurden. Zeitgleich stießen russische Panzer auf georgisches Staatsgebiet vor, im Kampf um die abtrünnigen Provinzen Südossetien und Abchasien. So die Seite des georgischen Außenministeriums überhaupt noch funktionierte, zierte sie ein Zusammenschnitt aus Bildern von Präsident Michail Saakaschwili und Adolf Hitler.
Kapazität und Know-how für Cyber-Angriffe großen Stils trauen Experten nur wenigen Staaten zu: Russland, den USA, China, Indien – und Israel. „Wir werden in der ersten Liga mitspielen“, sagte Amos Yadlin, Chef von Israels Militärgeheimdienst, zu Jahresbeginn. Der Beweis dürfte längst erbracht sein: Es deutet viel darauf hin, dass israelische Hacker Syriens Luftabwehr „blind“ machten, bevor Kampfjets einen in Bau befindlichen Atomreaktor zerstörten. Aber auch in der Verteidigung ist man versiert: Während des Gaza-Krieges 2008/09 gelang es der Cyber-Abwehr, einen mit bis zu 15 Millionen Mails pro Sekunde geführten Angriff zurückzuschlagen.
Viele Hacker in China vermutet
In den USA ist Cyber-Verteidigung mittlerweile ein Topthema: Im Mai nahm das US Cyber Command seine Arbeit auf. Und seit Jahren führen die besten IT-Spezialisten der US-Dienste Manöver durch, um Sicherheitslücken zu finden (das bisher letzte, „Cyber Storm III“, fand diese Woche statt). Denn die Attacken nehmen zu: Allein das Pentagon ist laut einem Insider rund 5000 Angriffen ausgesetzt – pro Tag. Ein Nato-Offizier sagte jüngst zur „Presse“, dass das „Allied Joint Force Command“ im niederländischen Brunssum täglich etwa 300 Angriffe registriere. Von hier aus wird auch die Nato-Operation in Afghanistan geleitet. Allerdings handle es sich bei mehr als 90 Prozent der Angriffe um gewöhnliche Viren, Trojaner und Ähnliches.
Immer wieder gelingt es Hackern, von denen viele in China vermutet werden, Daten zu stehlen. 2007 wurde gar der E-Mail-Account von Verteidigungsminister Robert Gates geknackt. Laut dem Experten James Lewis vom „Center for Strategic and International Studies“ sei ein Großteil der US-Behörden allerdings äußerst mangelhaft geschützt: „Sie könnten ihr Passwort gleich ändern auf: Willkommen, Freunde aus China.“

Die Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) hat eine Sondereinheit zur Bekämpfung von Cyber-Angriffen eingerichtet. Der Justizminister Robert McClelland will damit dem Geheimdienst eine Möglichkeit geben, Angriffe anderer Staaten aus dem Internet abzuwehren. Eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit dem australischen Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) und der Cybersicherheitsstelle des militärischen Geheimdiensts Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) ist geplant.
Grund für die Einrichtung war das 2009 entdeckte „GhostNet“, ein Spionagenetzwerk das 1295 Rechner in 103 Ländern ausgespäht hatte, zahlreiche Daten wurden gestohlen. Das Netzwerk arbeitet hauptsächlich über Rechner in China. Ein Hauptziel waren die Rechner in Büros des Dalai Lama. Ein weiterer Grund die Denial-of-Service-Attacke (DDoS) auf Server der estnischen Regierung im Jahr 2007. Cyber-Angriffe häuften sich und rücken mehr und mehr in den Blick der Öffentlichkeit.
Robert McClelland; „Angesichts solcher massiver Angriffe sowie der terroristischen Bedrohungen für das Netz kann die Regierung nicht die Hände in den Schoss legen. Man wird darauf hinarbeiten, internationale Vereinbarungen für Cyberuntersuchungen zu verbessern. Beschlossene Sache ist der Beitritt zur Cybercrime-Konvention des Europarats“. Diese wurde bereits am 8. November 2001 beschlossen und regelt unter anderem den Datenaustausch zwischen den Ländern zur Abwehr von Cyber-Angriffen.
Erst vor kurzem wurde durch den „Telecommunications Interception and Intelligent Services Act“ die Befugnisse der ASIO bei der Internetüberwachung erweitert.

Двадцать охранников в кортеже из десяти автомобилей охраняют фотомодель Ким Кардашьян, прибывшую в Нью-Йорк после громкого ограбления в Париже. Этой "армии" еще и помогают местные полицейские, информирует ТАСС со ссылкой на популярный портал TMZ.
Кстати, Кардашьян не стала отвечать на вопросы встречавших ее в аэропорту журналистов. А вот с французскими следователями перед самым отлетом она побеседовала. Как ранее сообщили в правоохранительных органах страны, "задействованы все силы, чтобы пролить свет на этот инцидент и задержать виновных".
Напомним, в ночь на 3 октября на звезду, приехавшую в Париж на Неделю моды, напали в отеле. Как сообщала "РГ", пятеро мужчин в форме полицейских явились в элитную резиденцию гостиничного типа, связали ночного администратора резиденции, а затем, поднявшись в номер Ким, заперли ее в ванной. В результате у нее украли кольцо стоимостью четыре миллиона долларов и другие драгоценности еще на шесть миллионов.
"Ким Кардашьян глубоко шокирована, но каких-либо телесных повреждений ей нанесено не было", заявила официальный представитель фотомодели.

Na terça-feira, um helicóptero da Companhia de Gás e Energia do Pacífico (PG&E) atingiu fios de energia e caiu perto de , . Três ocupantes do helicóptero morreram e três bombeiros ficaram feridos, devido ao incêndio florestal que se seguiu.
O Bell 206 caiu perto da Interestadual 80 por volta das 13:30, horário local, durante a colocação de cabos de alta tensão na área. O Departamento de Silvicultura e Proteção contra Incêndios da Califórnia (CalFire) disse que vários foram queimados antes que as chamas fossem extintas. A CalFire solicitou o desligamento da energia, o que afetou cerca de 38 mil pessoas.
Os três mortos eram funcionários da PG&E. A empresa disse que a energia foi restaurada às 20:21.

Three people were killed Tuesday when a helicopter contracted by Pacific Gas & Electric struck one of the utility’s power lines and crashed into a hillside, igniting a grass fire and knocking out electricity to thousands of customers, officials said.
The crash of the Bell 206 helicopter was reported about 1:30 p.m. along Interstate 80, midway between the cities of Fairfield and Vacaville.
The aircraft was a third-party helicopter contracted by PG&E, said utility spokeswoman Brandi Merlo. She didn’t say what kind of work the crew was doing.
The helicopter came into contact with a transmission line before the crash, Merlo said.

The Solano County Sheriff’s Office said three people aboard were killed, KCRA-TV reported. They weren’t immediately identified.
The helicopter caught fire after crashing, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor.
A firetruck responding to the blaze rolled over, sending three firefighters to the hospital with minor injuries, said CalFire spokesman Will Powers. He said the fire burned about 7 acres.
Some 38,000 PG&E customers lost power and there was no estimate for when it would be restored, Merlo said.

The FAA and National Transportation and Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash, Gregor said.

FAIRFIELD (CBS SF) — Authorities are investigating the Tuesday afternoon crash of a helicopter contracted by PG&E in a remote part of Fairfield after the chopper struck a high-voltage line.
The three passengers believed to be on the helicopter who were working for PG&E are presumed dead.
KPIX 5 has learned that the helicopter was contracted by PG&E to do work for the utility. The three people on board were working on high-voltage lines in the area of the crash.
PG&E confirmed that at around 1 p,m, the helicopter struck 115,000-volt power line near Vacaville and crashed. The crash started fire in area.
FAA Pacific Division Communications Manager Ian Gregor confirmed that a Bell 206 helicopter crashed under unknown circumstances near the intersection of Lyon Road and Soda Springs Road.
The helicopter caught fire after crashing, Gregor said. The FAA said they believe there were three people on board the helicopter.
A plume of smoke was visible rising from the crash area for several hours. Cal Fire said a fire caused by the crash spread to about five acres and has since been put out.
At around 3 p.m., a power-line serving 38,000 customers was de-energized at request of Cal Fire. According to the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, the outage was ongoing.
Cal Fire said a water tanker truck responding to the area to help battle the fire rolled, causing minor injuries to the fire personnel on the vehicle.
PG&E is working to restore power to customers, but heat in the area is causing delays.
There was no word from authorities on the condition of the passengers. While the Solano County Sheriff’s Office has not yet been able to confirm their condition, the passengers are presumed dead.
The FAA and NTSB will investigate the incident.
Lyon Road is currently closed in both directions with no ETA for reopening.
CBS SF is monitoring this developing story and will provide additional updates as information is made available.

In response to your recent editorial (“Coronavirus slowing PG&E’s crucial work to mitigate wildfires,” Mercurynews.com, May 27), we’d like to let our customers and your readers know that neither the COVID-19 pandemic nor our company’s Chapter 11 proceedings have distracted us from our commitment to reduce wildfire risks.
Across nearly every component of our Community Wildfire Safety Program, we remain at or ahead of schedule to meet our full-year goals.
What does that look like, through mid-May? It’s our crews and contractors installing 100 miles of stronger poles and covered power lines. It’s managing vegetation along 890 miles of our system to reduce wildfire risk.
It’s installing 248 devices on distribution lines and 27 switches on transmission lines that will enable us to narrow the focus of Public Safety Power Shutoff events.

The teenage gunman who went on a shooting rampage in a school in southern Germany killed 15 people before dying in a shoot-out with police. 0930 (0830 GMT), 11 March: The 17-year-old, named locally as Tim Kretschmer, walks into his former school Albertville-Realschule [1] in Winnenden. I look at the door and there stands a man with a gun in his hand and he just shoots everywhere
Celina Dressed in black, he starts shooting, killing nine students, eight of them female, and three teachers. Police say he aimed at his victims' heads, which suggests it was not just indiscriminate shooting. "I heard two shots and then screaming," said a student named only as Betty, 15. "At first I thought it was a joke, but then someone called "Run, run" and I saw students jumping out of the windows and took off running." Another student, Celina, described the terror inside one classroom. "We were having a normal German lesson. At once we hear "pam pam pam" and I look at the door and there stands a man with a gun in his hand and he just shoots everywhere. "I threw myself on the floor and took my friends with me, and then I went to a corner and put a table in front of me, and he came again a second time and shot again, and we were in panic and in shock." The German Bild daily newspaper reports that the gunman enters the class a third time, asking: "Aren't you all dead?" 0933: Police receive an emergency call from a terrified pupil at the school amid scenes of panic. Minutes later, the first police officers enter the school building. They can still hear shots being fired and confront the gunman on the first floor, drawing fire themselves. Kretschmer flees the building, leaving some ammunition at the school. He passes a nearby psychiatric clinic and shoots dead an employee and injures a passerby. 0940: Other officers arrive at the school to find the victims' bodies in two classrooms. Police say the gunman may have planned on killing more Regional police director Ralf Michelfelder said: "Children were sitting at their tables, with pencils still in their hands, their heads fallen over on the table. Most of them had shots in their head - it must have all happened in seconds." Bystander Hans Ulrich Stuiber described the scenes of anguish outside the school as parents waited for news. "Some were struck dumb, others were crying and a few had fainted," he told AFP. Police mobilise hundreds of officers, including dog and helicopter teams to try to locate the gunman. The school is evacuated and searched and roadblocks set up. 1000: Police commandos storm Kretschmer parents' home in Leutenbach [2], 12km (7.5 miles) from the school. 1114: Local media broadcast warnings to drivers not to pick up hitchhikers. 1204: Kretschmer hijacks a car in Winnenden [3], forcing the driver to head south. Police say he gets stuck in traffic, but makes the driver turn around and head towards Wendlingen, 40km [25 miles] away. The car driver swerves off the road to avoid a police checkpoint and manages to escape and alert the police. The gunman continues on foot towards an industrial estate in Wendlingen [4]. He enters a car salesroom and shoots dead a salesman and a customer. The gunman died after a shoot-out at a car salesroom 1230: Kretschmer exchanges fire with plain-clothed officers. As he tries to escape through the car park he is hit in the leg, falls down but manages to get up and reload his gun [5]. Two officers are injured in the shoot-out. Witness Vjeran Kuran was working nearby: "By accident I took a look out of the window and then I have seen a lot of police cars. And suddenly, I've heard them shooting, too." Kretschmer is found dead a short time later - police say witnesses saw him shoot himself

A 17 year old gunman has killed 15 in the towns of Winnenden and Wendlingen, near Stuttgart in southwest Germany, before being killed himself in a shootout with police.
Dressed in what has been described as black combat gear, the gunman entered Albertville school at 9.30am on March 11 2009 and, beginning with a particular classroom, started shooting at pupils and staff wandering through various 9th and 10th grade classrooms, reloading his handgun a number of times as he did so in a two minute shooting spree.
Reportedly aiming at the heads of his victims the gunman, identified as former pupil Tim Kretschmer, initially killed nine pupils, all except one being female, and three female teachers, one of whom was still a trainee who started only 4 weeks earlier. A further seven female students were injured. There are conflicting reports if a tenth student died from injuries later. Other students were injured as they attempted to escape by jumping out of windows.
Police received a call within three minutes at 9:33 a.m. the police entered the school at 9:40 a.m. to discover the bodies of the slain victims. A pupil managed to call for help using a mobile phone, and the headmaster apparently gave an early warning via the intercom so that some of the teachers were able to lock the doors to their classrooms from the inside, probably preventing more killings. From the first floor of the school, Kretschmer fired at the first police who arrived on the scene.
Kretschmer fled the school as further police arrived, and killed a gardener in a nearby clinic as he did so.
As the police evacuated the 1,000 pupil secondary school,
Kretschmer, hijacked a Volkswagen Sharan and forced the driver to drive him south. Slowed by a traffic jam Kretschmer forced the driver to drive towards Wendlingen.
A police checkpoint was not able to apprehend Kretschmer. The car went off the road, and the gunman fled into an industrial area in Wendlingen about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the school.
Tracked by specialist armed police and police spotters in helicopters Kretschmer was finally cornered in the carpark of a car dealership in Wendlingen. Kretschmer, the son of a well known local farmer and businessman, made a last stand and killed a salesman and a customer before being shot by police marksmen being injured in the leg. At first it was unclear if the shooting killed him or if he was wounded and then shot himself. Police now believe that the evidence points to suicide.
During the manhunt, police stormed the youth's home in Leutenbach to conduct a search. Kretschmer's father, a hobbyist hunter, legally owned 15 firearms and one was missing from the collection. The majority of the firearms were kept securely locked as German law mandates, however a handgun was kept in the parent's bedroom and it is this weapon that is presumed to have been used. Also, all the ammunition was not locked away, and Kretschmer reportedly carried a "3-digit figure" of ammunition with him.
The police are still uncertain about the motive, as Kretschmer was known as a calm, inconspicuous person to the people who knew him personally. He didn't have a criminal record and has apparently not made any announcements of his killing spree, neither online nor to any of his friends.
Kretschmer had been a graduate of Albertville school the previous year.

Twelve of the dead were students and teachers at the Albertville secondary school in Winnenden, north of Stuttgart, police say. The gunman, a 17-year-old former pupil, is also dead, but it is not clear whether he was shot or killed himself. The teenager, who entered the school wearing black combat gear, died in a shoot-out 40km (25 miles) away. See where the school shooting took place German Chancellor Angela Merkel is to make a statement on the shooting at 1600 (1500 GMT), a government spokesman said.

In pictures: School shooting Timeline of school shootings It said that he fled there in a car after the school shooting and barricaded himself in a supermarket. There he shot dead two passers-by and two police officers were injured. In total, nine students, three teachers and three passers-by are thought to be among the dead. The chief reporter of the Stuttgart Journal newspaper, Kevin Latzel, told the BBC that there was a lot of confusion at the school. "It's very horrible... the parents are crying, the pupils are crying and a lot of police is there and nobody knows really what happened," he said. "They are very afraid, the pupils are calling their parents and the parents they want to pick [them] up but they can't do this, the parents they are not allowed to get into the classrooms," he added. The attack is reported to have begun at about 0945 (0845 GMT). The gunman "went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath", regional police chief Erwin Hetger said, the Associated Press news agency reported. "I've never seen anything like this in my life," he said. Witnesses said students jumped from the windows of the school after the gunman opened fire. About 1,000 children are thought to attend the school, in the town some 20km (12 miles) north-east of Stuttgart.

A 17 year old gunman has killed 15 in the towns of Winnenden and Wendlingen, near Stuttgart in southwest Germany, before being killed himself in a shootout with police.
Dressed in what has been described as black combat gear, the gunman entered Albertville school at 9.30am on March 11 2009 and, beginning with a particular classroom, started shooting at pupils and staff wandering through various 9th and 10th grade classrooms, reloading his handgun a number of times as he did so in a two minute shooting spree.
Reportedly aiming at the heads of his victims the gunman, identified as former pupil Tim Kretschmer, initially killed nine pupils, all except one being female, and three female teachers, one of whom was still a trainee who started only 4 weeks earlier. A further seven female students were injured. There are conflicting reports if a tenth student died from injuries later. Other students were injured as they attempted to escape by jumping out of windows.
Police received a call within three minutes at 9:33 a.m. the police entered the school at 9:40 a.m. to discover the bodies of the slain victims. A pupil managed to call for help using a mobile phone, and the headmaster apparently gave an early warning via the intercom so that some of the teachers were able to lock the doors to their classrooms from the inside, probably preventing more killings. From the first floor of the school, Kretschmer fired at the first police who arrived on the scene.
Kretschmer fled the school as further police arrived, and killed a gardener in a nearby clinic as he did so.
As the police evacuated the 1,000 pupil secondary school,
Kretschmer, hijacked a Volkswagen Sharan and forced the driver to drive him south. Slowed by a traffic jam Kretschmer forced the driver to drive towards Wendlingen.
A police checkpoint was not able to apprehend Kretschmer. The car went off the road, and the gunman fled into an industrial area in Wendlingen about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the school.
Tracked by specialist armed police and police spotters in helicopters Kretschmer was finally cornered in the carpark of a car dealership in Wendlingen. Kretschmer, the son of a well known local farmer and businessman, made a last stand and killed a salesman and a customer before being shot by police marksmen being injured in the leg. At first it was unclear if the shooting killed him or if he was wounded and then shot himself. Police now believe that the evidence points to suicide.
During the manhunt, police stormed the youth's home in Leutenbach to conduct a search. Kretschmer's father, a hobbyist hunter, legally owned 15 firearms and one was missing from the collection. The majority of the firearms were kept securely locked as German law mandates, however a handgun was kept in the parent's bedroom and it is this weapon that is presumed to have been used.

Kretschmer had been a graduate of Albertville school the previous year.

A 17-year-old gunman went on the rampage at his former high school in southern Germany this morning, leaving 15 people dead and several others injured, before he was killed in a shootout with police.
The ex-student, named locally as Tim Kretschmer, entered the school in Winnenden, a town of 27,000 near Stuttgart, at about 9.30am (8.30am GMT) and began firing.
Dressed in black combat gear, he killed nine students and three teachers at the Albertville high school, as well as one person at a nearby clinic, before fleeing with a hostage in a car to the town of Wendlingen, around 25 miles (40km) away, police said.
In a shoot-out with police in front of a postal sorting centre, two additional passersby were killed and two officers seriously injured, bringing the total death toll to 16, including the gunman. It was not clear whether the gunman had been shot by police or taken his own life.
The region's interior minister, Heribert Rech, said that the nine dead pupils were aged between 14 and 16, and the three teachers killed were women. Police had said a 10th student died in hospital, but later retracted the statement, blaming a communications error.
"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," said the area's police chief, Erwin Hetger. "I've never seen anything like this in my life. I've been president of police in Baden-Württemberg for 19 years now, and I can't remember a deed as terrible as this."
This afternoon Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel, expressed her outrage at the killing spree. "It is unimaginable that in just seconds, pupils and teachers were killed — it is an appalling crime," she told reporters, adding her feelings were with the families of the victims.
"This is a day of mourning for the whole of Germany," she said.
The gunman entered the school during morning lessons and opened fire at random before fleeing, police said. The school was then evacuated.
Bild, the German tabloid, reported that Kretschmer entered one classroom, belonging to class 10D, three times. On the third occasion, he looked at the terrified pupils still alive and asked: "Aren't you all dead yet?"
A student teacher then threw herself protectively in front of a student. Kretschmer shot her dead, the paper said.
One pupil, from class 9C, told the radio station Antenne 1 of her terror. "We were in the computer room. Suddenly we heard bangs and then our teacher ran out, looked around and just closed the door. And later we were told by another teacher that a gunman was on the loose, and that we had been told by police that we should go out to the swimming pool."
Another pupil, 18-year-old Janina Schmidt, told the SWR TV station: "We were sitting in the classroom, then we heard shots, five or six of them, and afterwards, we saw a number of police vans and ambulances came along.
"I feel as though I'm in a film. You see this sort of thing all the time in films or on the TV, and now suddenly it's happening in my life. I just don't know how to react to it."
Bild reported that Kretschmer's parents had 18 weapons in their house. Another paper, Die Zeit, said that one of the guns could not be found by police when they searched the house.
Germany has strict weapons laws, with gunholders having to fulfil certain criteria on age and weapons expertise to obtain a firearms licence.
Bild said the boy's father was a wealthy businessman from a neighbouring area.
Helmut Rau, the regional education minister, told reporters that the gunman had not stood out at school. "He was never conspicuous. He left the school in 2008 and had started an apprenticeship."
He had average grades and had "never in any way" behaved unusually, said Rau, adding that the boy clearly had a "split personality".
About 1,000 children attend the school in a suburb 12 miles north-east of Stuttgart.
German television said the gunman initially fled towards the centre of Winnenden. Reuters reported that helicopters circled above the town while rescue workers and firefighters were at the school.
Witnesses told German media of hearing shots and screaming. One pupil said she first thought it was a joke, then saw her classmates jump out of windows before fleeing herself.
A police spokesperson told Bild the gunman shot a passerby near the psychiatric clinic in Winnenden. A worker from the clinic told the paper: "I heard six or seven shots. I am not allowed to leave my post."
The German government was "deeply shocked and incensed about the appalling killing spree", Ulrich Wilhelm, a spokesman for the chancellor, Angela Merkel, said in Berlin.
Several school shootings have shocked Germany in recent years. In 2006 a masked man wearing explosives and brandishing rifles opened fire at a school in the western town of Emsdetten, wounding at least 11 people before killing himself.
In April 2002 Germany saw its worst school shooting when a gunman killed 16 people before turning the gun on himself, at a high school in the eastern city of Erfurt.

The 17-year-old, named locally as Tim Kretschmer, was dressed in black combat fatigues. He killed ten children and three teachers when he targeted a particular classroom at the secondary school.
The three female teachers were hailed as heroes after they sacrificed themselves for the youngsters in their care.
It has emerged that they tried to shield the children from his bullets as he kept his finger on the trigger of his automatic weapon.
A gardener at a nearby psychiatric clinic was shot as the masked teenager fled the Albertville Realschule in the picturesque town of Winnenden, then he hijacked a car, telling the shocked driver "get me out of town".
After allowing his hostage to get out of the VW Sharan on an autobahn, the killer, drove 25 miles to Wendlingen.
There he staged a last stand in the car park of a supermarket, where two passers-by were shot. The gunman was finally killed in a shoot-out with police at 12.30pm (11.30GMT) on Wednesday.
Police sources said the gunman, who left the school last year, was previously known to them, having reportedly had a long history of troublemaking.
The massacre began at 9.30am (8.30GMT) when the killer walked into his old school and began firing without saying a word.
"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," said regional police chief Erwin Hetger. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."
Many others were injured during the two-minute shooting spree, before the gunman fled.
Police spoke of classrooms and corridors "running with blood" and an appeal went out to local people to donate blood for transfusions for the wounded.
Frank Nipkau, editor of a local paper, said: "He went in there and started shooting immediately. He was shooting in a certain class, a ninth or tenth grade class. We are told that it is a gruesome sight. He just opened up at random."
In classroom 10D police said he seemed to take a particular interest in the occupants. He went in and out of the room three times, speaking the only words he uttered throughout the massacre: “Are you all dead yet?“
The entire town of 27,000 inhabitants was locked down, with residents told not to leave their homes, as hundreds of police and armed commandos using helicopters and dogs searched the area for the killer.
Police were immediately informed of the suspect's identity by teachers at the school, who described him as a disgruntled former pupil.
More than 1,500 students were in the school when the bloodbath began, and witnesses said girls and boys of secondary school age were among the victims.
According to one report, police seized at least 18 legally-held weapons from the boy's home, where his family kept a "small arsenal" of rifles which they used for hunting.
Mr Nipkau added: "This is a small town of 27,000 people, an idyllic place, green with mountains, and it's unbelievable that this is happening in this town. We can't understand it."
All schools in the region were closed down and police issued an urgent bulletin to motorists not to pick up hitchhikers while the gunman remained on the loose.
Meanwhile, residents of Winnenden used the Twitter website to post what purported to be minute-by-minute sightings of the gunman.
Psychologists were brought in by local authorities to deal with the shocked survivors who stumbled, many of them in tears, through the school gates.
Winnenden, which is about 12 miles northeast of Stuttgart, is best known as the headquarters of the pressure washer manufacturer Karcher, which has its headquarters in the town.
School shootings have been on the rise in Germany in recent years. The worst occurred in April 2002 when expelled student Robert Steinhauser gunned down 16 people before turning his gun on himself.
In 2006, a masked man wearing explosives and brandishing rifles opened fire at a school in the western German town of Emsdetten, wounding at least 11 people before committing suicide.
The shooting happened after news that in the United States, at least 10 people including the suspected gunman and his mother were killed in a shooting spree and car chase in southern Alabama on Tuesday.

A 17 year old gunman has killed 15 in the towns of Winnenden and Wendlingen, near Stuttgart in southwest Germany, before being killed himself in a shootout with police.
Dressed in what has been described as black combat gear, the gunman entered Albertville school at 9.30am on March 11 2009 and, beginning with a particular classroom, started shooting at pupils and staff wandering through various 9th and 10th grade classrooms, reloading his handgun a number of times as he did so in a two minute shooting spree.
Reportedly aiming at the heads of his victims the gunman, identified as former pupil Tim Kretschmer, initially killed nine pupils, all except one being female, and three female teachers, one of whom was still a trainee who started only 4 weeks earlier. A further seven female students were injured. There are conflicting reports if a tenth student died from injuries later. Other students were injured as they attempted to escape by jumping out of windows.
Police received a call within three minutes at 9:33 a.m. the police entered the school at 9:40 a.m. to discover the bodies of the slain victims. A pupil managed to call for help using a mobile phone, and the headmaster apparently gave an early warning via the intercom so that some of the teachers were able to lock the doors to their classrooms from the inside, probably preventing more killings. From the first floor of the school, Kretschmer fired at the first police who arrived on the scene.
Kretschmer fled the school as further police arrived, and killed a gardener in a nearby clinic as he did so.
As the police evacuated the 1,000 pupil secondary school,
Kretschmer, hijacked a Volkswagen Sharan and forced the driver to drive him south. Slowed by a traffic jam Kretschmer forced the driver to drive towards Wendlingen.
A police checkpoint was not able to apprehend Kretschmer. The car went off the road, and the gunman fled into an industrial area in Wendlingen about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the school.
Tracked by specialist armed police and police spotters in helicopters Kretschmer was finally cornered in the carpark of a car dealership in Wendlingen. Kretschmer, the son of a well known local farmer and businessman, made a last stand and killed a salesman and a customer before being shot by police marksmen being injured in the leg. At first it was unclear if the shooting killed him or if he was wounded and then shot himself. Police now believe that the evidence points to suicide.
During the manhunt, police stormed the youth's home in Leutenbach to conduct a search. Kretschmer's father, a hobbyist hunter, legally owned 15 firearms and one was missing from the collection. The majority of the firearms were kept securely locked as German law mandates, however a handgun was kept in the parent's bedroom and it is this weapon that is presumed to have been used. Also, all the ammunition was not locked away, and Kretschmer reportedly carried a "3-digit figure" of ammunition with him.
The police are still uncertain about the motive, as Kretschmer was known as a calm, inconspicuous person to the people who knew him personally. He didn't have a criminal record and has apparently not made any announcements of his killing spree, neither online nor to any of his friends.
Kretschmer had been a graduate of Albertville school the previous year.
Two police officers remain in serious condition.

The first picture has emerged of a teenager thought to be the gunman who may have targeted females as he shot dead 15 people in attacks that began at a German school.
Gunman Tim Kretschmer and the scene of Winnenden school shooting.
The shooter, named by German media as Tim Kretschmer, killed nine students and three teachers at his old school in Winnenden, near Stuttgart.
Eight of the students were teenage girls and two of the teachers were women, the interior minister of the Baden Wuerttemberg region revealed at a news conference.
"It is odd that especially girls were killed," Heribert Rech said.
"This may just be a coincidence - the students sitting near the door of the classroom happened to be female.
"Seven further female students were injured - they are in hospital but not in a life-threatening condition."
Mr Rech added that the shooter had aimed his shots at his victims' heads and had caught them in a surprise attack.
Some of the dead students were found with their pens still in their hands, he said.
The gunman killed another person at a nearby clinic before before fleeing with a hostage in a car.
He is then thought to have killed himself during a shoot-out with police at a car dealership roughly about 20 miles from the school.
Two passers-by also died in the shoot-out and two police officers were seriously injured.
Students mourn outside the school in Winnenden
Witnesses said they saw a man dressed in black army fatigues spraying bullets around him at random in the Albertville technical high school.
Students jumped from the windows of the building as the 17-year-old former pupil believed to be responsible for the attack opened fire.
"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," regional police chief Erwin Hetger said.
"I've never seen anything like this in my life."
Authorities said the gunman left the school two years ago after achieving average results.
His father was a member of a local gun club and legally owned 15 firearms, which were all locked up except for one - which the teenager took to use in his attack.
Speaking to Sky News, Frank Nipkau described how the teenager, dressed in black army fatigues, entered the school around 9.30am and approached two classrooms.
"He was shooting at the students in two classrooms."
Police officers at Albertville school in Winnenden
Mr Nipkau said the man then fled into the city centre before police arrived at the school.
Stuttgart Radio's Philipp Grohm told the news channel the shooter had used a machine gun.
"We have to assume a death toll in the double-digits," the interior ministry in the state of Baden Wuerttemberg said.
Hundreds of officers scoured the city for the killer, using helicopters and search dogs.
""For two hours the city centre was completely under curfew," Mr Nipkau told Sky News, "Hundreds of police were searching for him."
He added: "This is an idyllic town with no big problems and nobody understands why this has happened. We don't know why he did this."
About 1,000 children attend the school in a suburb 12 miles outside Stuttgart.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the entire country was grieving for the victims of the attack.
"Like all people in Germany, I find what happened today in the Albertville-Realschule in Winnenden incomprehensible," Mrs Merkel said in a short statement.
"It is a day of mourning for the whole of Germany. Our thoughts go out to the families and relatives. We are thinking of you and we are praying for you."

Police in Stuttgart have confirmed the death of a gunman in a school-shooting incident that left at least 15 victims dead and several injured near Stuttgart in the southwest of the country.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel tried to give voice to a nation's horror after the fatal shootings of Wednesday, March 11.
"It's a day of sorrow for all of Germany," Merkel told reporters in Berlin. "It is incomprehensible that, within seconds, a terrible crime took pupils and teachers to their deaths."
At 9:30 a.m. local time, a 17-year-old identified only as Tim K. entered the Albertville school in Winnenden -- a town of 27,600, near Stuttgart in southwestern Germany -- and began shooting randomly. Nine students, aged between15 and 16, and three teachers died in this initial attack.
"I heard two shots and then a scream," a 15-year-old pupil inside the school told AP news agency. "At first, I thought it was a joke, but then someone yelled: 'Run, run!'"
Police said that two emergency squads were immediately dispatched to the school, but that the gunman had already hijacked a car and fled to the town of Wendlingen -- around 40 kilometers away.
Police said the gunman shot dead three bystanders, before taking his own life. Authorities corrected earlier reports saying the teenager was killed by police in a shoot-out.
Authorities estimated the total death toll to be at least 16, although initial details about those injured were sketchy.
The gunman's father was a member of a local rifle club, and police who searched the family home found one pistol along with some 100 bullets missing.
Wednesday's shooting followed a rampage in the United States on Tuesday in which a gunman shot dead 11 people then killed himself in southern Alabama.
String of school shootings
The Winnenden incident is the latest in a string of school shootings in Germany in recent years.
In 2006, a masked man opened fire at a school in the western German town of Emsdetten, wounding at least eleven people before committing suicide.
In April 2002, a gunman killed 17 students and teachers before killing himself at a high school in the eastern city Erfurt in the worst such incident.
German politicians and community leaders were unanimous in condemning the latest shooting spree.
Ulrich Wilhelm, spokesman for the federal government in Berlin, told reporters that the Winnenden incident was "horrific" but that the police had done all they could.

Une révision du code pénal du Vatican élargit la liste des délits contre les mineurs.
Le Pape François a tenu parole. En avril, le souverain pontife demandait d'agir «avec détermination» contre les abus sexuels commis par des membres du clergé. Comme un écho à cet engagement, le Vatican a annoncé ce jeudi une vaste réforme de son code pénal, en partie inchangée depuis 1929. Objectif: rendre le texte conforme à plusieurs conventions internationales, dont celle de 1989 sur les droits des enfants.
Dans cette optique, le pape a signé un décret qui aggrave les sanctions en cas d'abus contre des mineurs au Saint-Siège et dans la Curie (le gouvernement du Vatican). Les actes délictueux visés par le texte sont élargis: ils englobent «la vente, la prostitution, l'enrôlement et les violences sexuelles à leur encontre, la pédopornographie, la détention de matériel pédopornographique et les actes sexuels avec des mineurs».
La pédophilie, fléau de l'église catholique
Hasard du calendrier, le Vatican, qui détient un siège d'observateur permanent à l'ONU, a été ce lundi pour la première fois sommé d'y donner des explications détaillées sur les sévices sexuels contre les enfants au sein de l'Eglise. Le Comité des droits de l'enfance a ainsi demandé «des informations détaillées sur tous les cas (…) de violences sexuelles contre des enfants commis par des membres du clergé».
Véritable fléau de l'église catholique, le scandale des prêtres pédophiles a éclaté aux Etats-Unis au début des années 2000. Il s'est ensuite répandu comme une trainée de poudre, notamment en Irlande, ou des milliers de cas d'abus ont été répertoriés. En renforçant l'arsenal législatif contre la pédophilie, le pape François s'inscrit dans la droite ligne de son prédécesseur. En 2011, le pape Benoît XVI avait demandé «pardon au nom» de l'Eglise aux victimes d'abus sexuels, manière de se démarquer de la «culture du silence», de Jean-Paul II sur ce thème.
De nouveaux délits dans le code pénal du Vatican
Si la lutte contre la pédophilie est la pierre angulaire de cette évolution législative, elle ne s'y résume pas. Le texte introduit notamment le délit de torture et instaure une sanction spécifique pour le génocide et l'apartheid. La peine de prison disparait au profit d'une réclusion de 30 à 35 ans. Le décret prévoit également la possibilité pour les tribunaux du Vatican de juger des «délits commis contre la sécurité, les intérêts fondamentaux et le patrimoine du Saint-Siège». Sur un plan procédural, il introduit la notion de «juste procès» et de «présomption d'innocence».

Le pape François a décrété des sanctions plus sévères en cas d'abus contre des mineurs.
Ce jeudi, le pape a annoncé une réforme législative au code pénal du qui a très peu changé depuis 1929. Son but est de mettre à jour le code pénal en le rendant conforme à des conventions internationales qui ont été mises en place depuis 1929, telle que la convention de 1989 sur les droits des enfants. Le pape a déjà décrété des sanctions plus sévères en cas d'abus contre des mineurs au Vatican et au sein de la Curie. De plus, il a également ajouté de nouveaux actes punissables tels que « la vente, la prostitution, l'enrôlement et les violences sexuelles à leur encontre, la pédopornographie, la détention de matériel pédopornographique et les actes sexuels avec mineurs. »
Mercredi dernier, le Vatican avait été sommé à l', où il détient un siège d'observateur, de donner des explications sur les sévices sexuels et les violences contre des mineurs perpétrés au sein de l'Église. C'est la première fois que le Vatican est sommé de la sorte à l'ONU, mais il doit y répondre comme tous les pays membres de la convention de l'ONU sur les droits des enfants. Entre autres, l'ONU souhaite savoir quelles sont les mesures prises par le Vatican pour punir les coupables de sévices contre des mineurs.
En 2011, le pape avait demandé pardon au nom de l'Église catholique aux victimes d'abus sexuels de la part du clergé, mettant fin à la culture du silence à ce sujet qui avait cours sous le règne de . Plus récemment, il avait appelé à la réforme de la Curie romaine en juin 2013.
En plus de la convention sur les droits des enfants de 1989, la réforme législative voit également l'intégration des quatre conventions de Genève contre les crimes de guerre, la convention internationale sur l'élimination de toutes formes de discrimination raciale ainsi que la convention contre la torture et les traitements inhumains et dégradants. Le décret papal prévoit aussi une meilleure coopération judiciaire entre le Vatican et les autres États. De plus, la peine de prison à vie a été abolie en étant remplacée par 30 à 35 ans de prison.

Le pape a signé jeudi un décret qui durcit les sanctions pénales contre tout abus envers des mineurs commis au Saint-Siège et dans la Curie, le gouvernement du Vatican, notamment les crimes pédophiles et la prostitution de mineurs. Dans ce texte, le chef de l'Eglise inclut «l'ensemble de la catégorie des délits contre les mineurs : la vente, la prostitution, l'enrôlement et les violences sexuelles à leur encontre, la pédopornographie, la détention de matériel pédopornographique et les actes sexuels avec des mineurs».
Le Vatican avait déjà été sommé, mercredi, de s'expliquer aux Nations unies sur les sévices sexuels et les violences contre les enfants. C'est la première fois que des questions détaillées sur ce sujet ont été posées à la Cité-Etat.
Selon la liste des interrogations élaborées par le Comité des droits de l'enfance, il est demandé au Vatican, «au vu du fait que le Saint-Siège a reconnu des cas de violences sexuelles contre des enfants commis par des membres du clergé, des frères et des soeurs dans de nombreux pays», de donner «des informations détaillées sur tous les cas».
Une enquête sur des sévices commis en Irlande
En avril dernier, le pape François avait déjà demander d'agir «avec détermination» contre les abus sexuels commis par des membres du clergé. C'était la première fois que le pape argentin s'exprimait publiquement et directement sur ces sévices subis pendant des décennies par des dizaines de milliers d'enfants. L'entretien suivant ces déclarations, organisé avec le préfet de la Congrégation pour la doctrine de la foi, en charge de ce type d'affaires, succédait aux révélations fracassantes d'un cardinal sud-africain, quelques jours après l'entrée en fonction du pape : il avait déclaré sur la BBC que la pédophilie «n'est pas un délit, c'est une maladie».
Par ailleurs, l'ONU a demandé au Vatican s'il avait mené une enquête sur les allégations de torture et autres traitements dégradants infligés en Irlande entre 1922 et 1996 à des milliers de jeunes filles et femmes, exploitées dans des blanchisseries gérées par des religieuses catholiques. Les pensionnaires, surnommées les «Magdalene Sisters», étaient des filles tombées enceintes hors mariage ou qui avaient un comportement jugé immoral dans ce pays à forte tradition catholique. Une fois qu'elles avaient accouché, leurs bébés leur étaient retirés. Le Saint-Siège sera entendu par l'ONU en janvier 2014, à Genève.
La peine de prison à vie supprimée
La nouvelle législation vaticane signée jeudi prévoit également la possibilité pour les tribunaux du Saint-Siège de juger des «délits commis contre la sécurité, les intérêts fondamentaux et le patrimoine du Saint-Siège». Elle intègre aussi les quatre conventions de Genève contre les crimes de guerre, la convention internationale sur l'élimination de toute forme de discrimination raciale, la convention contre la torture et les traitements inhumains et dégradants et la convention de 1989 sur les droits de l'enfant.

Le «motu proprio» (décret) du pape prévoit par ailleurs «l'adoption de mesures de coopération adaptées aux plus récentes conventions internationales» en matière de coopération judiciaire entre le Vatican et les autres Etats : «A notre époque, le bien commun est de plus en plus menacé par la criminalité transnationale et organisée, l'utilisation inappropriée du marché et de l'économie et du terrorisme», souligne le Saint Père en préambule du texte.
Par ailleurs, il abolit la peine de prison à perpétuité, qui sera remplacée par 30 ans de réclusion, voire 35 ans.

Le Vatican, qui dispose d'un siège d'observateur permanent à l' ONU , est pour la première fois sommé de donner des explications détaillées aux Nations unies sur les sévices sexuels et les violences contre les enfants au sein de l'Eglise. Comme tous les pays membres de la Convention de l'ONU relative aux droits de l'enfant, le Saint-Siège doit régulièrement répondre de son action devant les experts onusiens.Selon la procédure, les experts de l'ONU ont publié lundi une liste de questions auxquelles le Vatican devra répondre "si possible" avant le 1er novembre prochain. Le Saint-Siège sera ensuite entendu par l'ONU en janvier 2014 à Genève. C'est la première fois que des questions détaillées sur ce sujet sont posées au Vatican, a indiqué aujourd'hui une porte-parole du Comité. Selon la liste de questions élaborées par le Comité des droits de l'enfance, il est demandé au Vatican, "au vu du fait que le Saint-Siège a reconnu des cas de violences sexuelles contre des enfants commis par des membres du clergé, des frères et des soeurs dans de nombreux pays", de donner "des informations détaillées sur tous les cas".L'ONU souhaite connaître les mesures prises par l'Eglise pour punir les coupables de sévices sexuels sur des enfants. Les experts veulent aussi savoir ce que le Vatican a fait pour qu'aucun membre du clergé accusé de pédophilie ne puisse être en contact avec des enfants et les mesures prises pour soutenir les victimes. Les experts entendent aussi savoir si l'Eglise a fait taire certains enfants abusés sexuellement. Ils veulent aussi connaître les mesures prises pour condamner et prévenir les châtiments corporels infligés dans certains établissements scolaires catholiques, ainsi que les avancées réalisées pour éviter une éducation discriminatoire entre sexes dans les écoles religieuses.Par ailleurs, l'ONU demande au Vatican s'il a mené une enquête sur les allégations de torture et autres traitements dégradants infligés en Irlande entre 1922 et 1996 à des milliers de jeunes filles et femmes, exploitées dans des blanchisseries gérées par des religieuses catholiques. Les pensionnaires, surnommées les "Magdalene Sisters", étaient des filles tombées enceintes hors mariage ou qui avaient un comportement jugé immoral dans ce pays à forte tradition catholique. Une fois qu'elles avaient accouché, leurs bébés leur étaient retirés.

Le pape François a décrété des sanctions plus sévères en cas d'abus contre des mineurs.
Ce jeudi, le pape a annoncé une réforme législative au code pénal du qui a très peu changé depuis 1929. Son but est de mettre à jour le code pénal en le rendant conforme à des conventions internationales qui ont été mises en place depuis 1929, telle que la convention de 1989 sur les droits des enfants. Le pape a déjà décrété des sanctions plus sévères en cas d'abus contre des mineurs au Vatican et au sein de la Curie. De plus, il a également ajouté de nouveaux actes punissables tels que « la vente, la prostitution, l'enrôlement et les violences sexuelles à leur encontre, la pédopornographie, la détention de matériel pédopornographique et les actes sexuels avec mineurs. »
Mercredi dernier, le Vatican avait été sommé à l', où il détient un siège d'observateur, de donner des explications sur les sévices sexuels et les violences contre des mineurs perpétrés au sein de l'Église. C'est la première fois que le Vatican est sommé de la sorte à l'ONU, mais il doit y répondre comme tous les pays membres de la convention de l'ONU sur les droits des enfants. Entre autres, l'ONU souhaite savoir quelles sont les mesures prises par le Vatican pour punir les coupables de sévices contre des mineurs.
En 2011, le pape avait demandé pardon au nom de l'Église catholique aux victimes d'abus sexuels de la part du clergé, mettant fin à la culture du silence à ce sujet qui avait cours sous le règne de . Plus récemment, il avait appelé à la réforme de la Curie romaine en juin 2013.
En plus de la convention sur les droits des enfants de 1989, la réforme législative voit également l'intégration des quatre conventions de Genève contre les crimes de guerre, la convention internationale sur l'élimination de toutes formes de discrimination raciale ainsi que la convention contre la torture et les traitements inhumains et dégradants. Le décret papal prévoit aussi une meilleure coopération judiciaire entre le Vatican et les autres États. De plus, la peine de prison à vie a été abolie en étant remplacée par 30 à 35 ans de prison.

Defence Secretary Des Browne has given orders for HMS Illustrious and HMS Bulwark to "make ready" for operations following Israeli air strikes.
No order has yet been given to evacuate UK citizens from the region.
But British citizens have been warned to prepare for a departure at short notice if the situation changes.
The ships will leave as soon as necessary, possibly within 24 hours.
Israel stepped up its strikes in Lebanon after Hezbollah militants seized two Israeli soldiers.
'Contingency planning'
HMS Illustrious is currently in Gibraltar and HMS Bulwark is close to Barcelona in Spain.
It is quite unnerving when you hear the planes and bombs coming
Karen Wild

Mid-East crisis map Day-by-day: Lebanon crisis
Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said British nationals in Lebanon should stay put, make sure the embassy knows of them, keep a low profile and take embassy advice as it becomes available.
A Foreign Office spokesman added: "We are also advising British nationals to get ready for departure at short notice if the situation changes including by having travel documents in order."
Meetings on the evacuation plan were taking place at the Ministry of Defence.
But the decision whether to proceed with an evacuation plan has not yet been taken.
Britons with relatives in Lebanon told the BBC News website they feel let down by politicians and diplomats.
Rushee Jolly, whose 31-year-old sister Schona is stuck in the country, said the government "has to do something to protect their nationals".
"We feel that the embassy in Beirut is doing nothing, and that the advice they are giving is pretty poor.
"They told her to sit tight when the place where she was was being shelled."
'Bomb shelter'
Peter Jones, whose 16-year-old son Perry is spending his school holidays near the northern Lebanon city of Tripoli, said he was "worried to death".
"They have been seeing war-planes flying over, and the Israelis have been bombing Tripoli.
I don't know how [the Navy ships] are going to get here as the port has been bombed
Angela Quartermaine

UK relatives anxious
"When the planes get too close, they go into the bomb shelter they built in the basement of their house."
He said the embassy had not given them any advice on how their son could leave the area.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said the offensive against Lebanese targets will continue until Hezbollah releases the soldiers and stops firing rockets at Israel.
There are several thousand Britons in Beirut. One who has got out of the city is student Angela Quartermaine, from Oxford.
Referring to the news that the two Royal Navy vessels were on standby, she said: "I don't know how they are going to get here as the port has been bombed... we'll believe it when we see it."
Marines aboard
BBC defence correspondent Paul Wood has said that 24 hours to get ready for sailing would be considered a "short turnaround" for the two ships.
He said that damage to the airport and port in Beirut meant it would be "difficult to get in".
"Any evacuation would be carried out in concert with other countries, led by the US," he added.
Mr Wood said HMS Bulwark had a contingent of 500 marines, which could be used to make beaches safe in the event of any evacuation.
HMS Illustrious has helicopters and fighter bombers on board, which again could be used to aid any evacuation.

HMS Illustrious (R06)
HMS Bulwark (L15).
The Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious and landing ship HMS Bulwark have been ordered to 'make ready' to sail to Lebanon. It is reported that UK ministers are considering plans to evacuate UK citizens who are trapped there due to the Israeli naval blocade of Lebanese ports and the closure of Beirut airport on 13th July after Israeli airstrikes. It is also reported that they will help any New Zealand citizens as New Zealand does not have an embassy.
HMS Bulwark is currently off the coast of Spain and HMS Illustrious is in Gibraltar.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised UK citizens in Lebanon to "stay put for the time being and keep a low profile". They are advised to keep in touch with the British Embassy and to be ready for 'departure' at short notice as well as to have travel documents ready.
The move comes as the crisis between Israel and Lebanon approaches its fifth day.

Lebanon SUMMARY
The threat to British individuals and organisations in Lebanon and the region is high; as demonstrated by the terrorist attacks in Riyadh on 12 May. Terrorist attacks could involve the use of chemical or biological materials.
Reactions to developments in Iraq and on the Middle East Peace Process might be expressed through acts of violence against British nationals and organisations. Be vigilant in public places and avoid military sites, Palestinian refugee camps, the northern Beka’a Valley and areas of South Lebanon close to the Israeli border fence.
Developments in the region could affect our travel advice. You should check it daily and follow developments closely.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Terrorism
You should therefore maintain a high level of vigilance, especially in public places frequented by foreigners, such as hotels, restaurants, clubs, tourist sites and shops. Take sensible precautions for your personal safety and avoid political gatherings and demonstrations. You should also avoid military sites, Palestinian refugee camps, the northern Beka’a Valley and areas of South Lebanon close to the Israeli border fence. There remains a high threat to British individuals and organisations in Lebanon and the region. Terrorist attacks in the region could involve the use of chemical and biological materials. more... You should therefore maintain a high level of vigilance, especially in public places frequented by foreigners, such as hotels, restaurants, clubs, tourist sites and shops. Take sensible precautions for your personal safety and avoid political gatherings and demonstrations. You should also avoid military sites, Palestinian refugee camps, the northern Beka’a Valley and areas of South Lebanon close to the Israeli border fence.
There have been various terrorist/security incidents in Lebanon in recent months. On 21 November 2002, a US resident of the southern town of Sidon was shot dead. On 21 March 2003, a Dutch national living in the same town appears to have been the intended target of a bomb, which caused a number of fatalities. On 6 May 2003, Dutch and German Christian missionaries living in Tripoli appear to have been the intended targets of a bomb which killed one person. On 5 April 2003, there was a potentially serious attack on a Macdonald's restaurant in East Beirut. After a small device detonated inside the restaurant, a much larger car bomb outside the premises failed to explode. The attacks occurred while the restaurant was open and were intended to cause casualties. There had previously been a series of smaller explosions, outside opening hours, at a number of fast food restaurants with US identities (including Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken). These were mostly at locations to the north of Beirut, around Tripoli and Jouneih. On 24 March 2003, a small device detonated outside the British Council office in West Beirut. These smaller devices caused property damage but no serious injuries. Some thirty named individuals have since been charged with complicity in the bombing campaign; thirteen are already in custody. On 29 March 2003, there was an incidence of hostage taking at a branch of H.S.B.C. bank in West Beirut. All hostages were released unharmed.
Domestic & Political
In late march and early April 2003, there were demonstrations in Beirut, Sidon, Tyre, Tripoli and the Beka’a Valley against coalition military action in Iraq. But none has taken place since 14 April 2003. However, the continued presence of coalition military forces in Iraq has an effect on public opinion in the whole region, as does fighting between Israel and the Palestinians. You should be aware that there remains a risk of violent incidents in response to events in Iraq and the Occupied Territories. You should avoid political gatherings and demonstrations, also military sites and entering any of the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
You should be aware that on the border between South Lebanon and Syrian territory occupied by Israel (Sheba’a farms), there have been armed exchanges between Hizbullah guerrillas and the Israeli army, most recently on 21 January 2003. Hizbollah also have anti-aircraft guns located along the border with Israel proper. They regularly fire shells over northern Israel following the violation of Lebanese airspace by the Israeli Airforce. You should avoid the Israeli border fence including Sheikh Abbad hill near Hula and the Fatima Gate in the village of Kfar Kila: people have been shot at both locations.
In 2001 there were two Israeli air attacks on Syrian military positions in Lebanon. Action by Israel in 2000 and previous years included bombing Lebanese electricity installations and other infrastructure. No foreign civilians have been harmed.
Crime
The risk to tourists from petty or violent crime is low by international standards, though vehicle crime is on the increase. Normal precautions should be taken.
Local Travel
Direct transit to Syria by main roads and authorised border crossings is normally trouble free. Otherwise we advise that, for the time being, independent travel within Lebanon should be restricted to central Beirut, the coastal areas immediately to the North (as far as Byblos/Jbeil) and the mountains to the north east (the Metn and Kasrouan). If you wish to visit tourist sites in other parts of the country you should take a guided tour.
Unexploded mines and ordnance pose a danger to travellers throughout the country, especially in that part of South Lebanon occupied by Israel until May 2000. You should seek local advice before venturing off well-worn tracks. Photography should be limited to tourist sites.
Driving standards are poor and the accident rate high. The few working traffic lights are not always observed. Self-drive hire is best left to the experienced. Taxis are not always in good condition; hotels can advise on firms with cars, which are well maintained. Night driving should be avoided if possible, especially outside well-lit urban areas. Should you choose to drive your own car to Lebanon you should be aware that vehicles with diesel engines are now banned. Anyone attempting to enter the country in a diesel car will be required to leave the vehicle at the Syrian border.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
Lebanon is part Muslim, part Christian. In many areas you will find dress codes more relaxed than in other countries of the region. But you should still dress modestly when visiting sites of religious significance such as mosques or churches – and also in any locality where it is evident that that is the local preference.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Visas are required for Lebanon. These can be obtained for a fee from the Lebanese Embassy, 21 Kensington Palace Gardens, London, W.8 4.Q.M; (tel: 020 7229 7265). At the moment British citizens can also obtain a visa on arrival at Beirut International Airport and at road crossings from Syria. However, as recent changes - for British Overseas Citizens and British Protected Persons - have shown, requirements are subject to change and so you should contact the Lebanese Embassy in London for up to date information. Overstaying without the proper authority is considered to be a serious matter. You may be refused permission to leave until a fine has been paid. If your passport contains Israeli stamps you will be refused entry to Lebanon, even if you hold a valid Lebanese visa.
We recommend that you register with the Embassy’s Consular Section if you intend remaining in Lebanon for any length of time.
HEALTH
Medical treatment can be expensive. Most hospitals are well equipped. Doctors are generally well qualified though nursing standards vary. The majority of medical staff speak French and English. You are advised to check vaccination requirements with your GP before travelling.
NATURAL DISASTERS
There have been no major earth tremors in recent years, but Lebanon is in an earthquake zone.
GENERAL
If you intend travelling to Lebanon you should take out comprehensive travel insurance.
You should carry original identity documents at all times. Anyone travelling outside Beirut may encounter either Lebanese Police/Army or Syrian checkpoints. Photocopies of passports etc may not be accepted as proof of identity.

Steinfurt (ots) - Sexuelle Nötigung/ versuchte Vergewaltigung Rheine, Tiefe Straße Höhe Nr. 17 Samstag, 15.10.2005, 04:30 Uhr Zur Tatzeit verließ eine 41-jährige Frau aus Rheine an der Kreuzung Kardinal-Galen-Ring/ Salzbergener Straße/ Neuenkirchener Straße ein Taxi und ging zu Fuß auf dem Gehweg der Thiestraße in Richtung Tiefe Straße. Plötzlich fuhr neben ihr ein Fahrradfahrer, der sie mehrfach verbal sexuell belästigte. Sie ging zunächst normal weiter, versuchte dann jedoch wegzurennen. Nach kurzer Strecke hatte der Täter sie mit seinem Fahrrad eingeholt, packte sie an der Schulter, warf sie auf den Boden und versuchte die Frau zu vergewaltigen.

Auf Anhaltezeichen und Ansprechen reagierte er nicht, sondern fuhr mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in Richtung Rönnehalle. Auf seiner weiteren Flucht kam er vom gepflasterten Weg hinter der Rönnehalle ab und fuhr in den Elektrozaun einer Pferdekoppel. Das Mofa verfing sich im Zaun und der 16-Jährige konnte gestellt werden. Am Weidezaun entstand leichter Sachschaden (50 Euro).

Ein 21-jähriger Mann kam von einer Geburtstagsfeier und wollte nach Neu Töplitz fahren. Auf dem Weg dorthin kam er mit seinem Wagen, einem Ford Fiesta, von der Straße ab.
Das Auto geriet außer Kontrolle und schleuderte nach links über die Gegenfahrbahn und überschlug sich mehrfach. Abseits der Fahrbahn kam der Fiesta schließlich unmittelbar neben einem Maisfeld auf den Rädern zum Stehen. Der Fahrer stieg aus und verließ den Unfallort. Die Polizei leitete sofort umfangreiche Ermittlungsmaßnahmen ein, um den Flüchtigen zu finden.
Einige Stunden danach trafen ihn die Beamten der Polizeiwache Werder in seiner Wohnung zu Hause im Bett an. Der Mann schlief. Der stark nach Alkohol riechende Unfallfahrer gab den Unfall sofort zu. Zwei Stunden nach dem Unfall zeigte der Alkoholtest einen Restalkoholwert von 1,82 Promille an. Daraufhin ordnete die Polizei zwei Blutproben an.
Der 21-Jährige verweigerte die Herausgabe seines Führerscheins, den die Polizei dann beschlagnahmte. Sein Wagen hat nur noch Schrottwert, es entstand Totalschaden.

Sonntagnacht befuhr ein 21-jähriger Mann mit seinem Ford Fiesta nach einer Geburtstagsfeier den Göttiner Weg in Richtung Neu Töplitz. In Höhe der späteren Unfallstelle kam er aus bisher ungeklärter Ursache nach links von der Fahrbahn ab und überschlug sich mehrfach. Der Pkw kam außerhalb der Fahrbahn neben einem Maisfeld auf den Rädern zum Stehen. Anschließend flüchtete der zu diesem Zeitpunkt unbekannte Fahrer zu Fuß vom Unfallort.
Durch umfangreiche Ermittlungen konnte der Fahrer nur wenig Stunden später bekannt gemacht werden. Er wurde von den Beamten der Polizeiwache Werder zu Hause schlafend im Bett angetroffen.
Der junge Mann roch stark nach Alkohol. Er räumte ein, den Verkehrsunfall verursacht zu haben. Daraufhin wurde ein Atemalkoholtest durchgeführt. Das Gerät zeigte zwei Stunden nach dem Verkehrsunfall noch einen Wert von 1,82 Promille an. Auf der Polizeiwache Werder wurden zwei Blutproben angeordnet.
Da der 21-jährige Fahrer nicht mit der Sicherstellung seines Führerscheines einverstanden war, wurde dieser beschlagnahmt. Am Pkw entstand Totalschaden.

MONTREAL - CBC chairman Guy Fournier has become the target of anger and derision in his home province after falsely claiming that Lebanon permits bestiality and for granting a lengthy interview on the joys of bowel movements.
On Sunday night, Mr. Fournier, appeared on one of Quebec's most-watched television shows, Tout le monde en parle, ostensibly to apologize for a magazine column he wrote making the unfounded bestiality claims.
In his Sept. 9 weekly column for the magazine 7 Jours, Mr. Fournier included the following nugget: "In Lebanon, the law allows men to have sexual relations with animals as long as they are female! Doing the same thing with male beasts can result in the death penalty."
The problem was that the information, gleaned from the Internet, was false. Montreal's Lebanese community was incensed, and a local university instructor of Lebanese descent began steps to file a lawsuit.
Addressing the audience of Radio-Canada's Tout le monde en parle, which regularly numbers more than two million, Mr. Fournier admitted he had not verified the information before publication.
"It was done to make people smile but it has shocked many people in the Lebanese diaspora, so I apologize to them," he said. He added that from now on he will stop all outside activities, including the 7 Jours column, and focus on his role with the public broadcaster.
The show's host, Guy A. Lepage, then moved the discussion along, digging up a little-noticed interview Mr. Fournier gave last May to a small French-language radio station in Toronto, during which the CBC/Radio-Canada chairman rhapsodized about defecation for more than 10 minutes.
Mr. Fournier recounted a train trip in the early 1960s during which a friend named Michel said going number two was as pleasurable as having sex.
"From that moment, I started paying closer attention -- and I have to tell you, I quickly realized that Michel was entirely right," Mr. Fournier said.
"And the most extraordinary thing is that, in the end, as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer-lasting and more frequent than the other."
He also advised against distractions while on the toilet. "There are even people who push the heresy to the point of doing Sudoku or crosswords rather than concentrating on the pleasure that they would have doing the thing," Mr. Fournier told his radio interviewer. "It is just as heretical as if you read the National Post while making love. It is not to be recommended."
Writing in Le Soleil yesterday, TV critic Richard Therrien said Mr. Fournier's attempt at damage control backfired. "No, Fournier did not come off as more sympathetic but more foolish. How long is he going to survive on the board of directors?" Mr. Therrien asked.
Alain-Michel Ayache, a political science instructor at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal, said he had not decided whether Mr. Fournier's televised apology was sufficient for him to abandon his planned lawsuit.
"A journalist is logically double-checking any information prior to any publication whatsoever," he said. "I was astonished to know that, despite this fact, he still wants to hold his position as chairman of CBC ... If any other journalist had made a similar mistake, he would have been definitely put aside."
Pascale Montminy, a spokeswoman for the CBC, said Mr. Fournier was not available for comment yesterday.
Veronique Bruneau, press secretary to federal Heritage Minister Beverley Oda, said the Minister was satisfied that Mr. Fournier had retracted his comments about Lebanon and had apologized. "As a journalist, he should have verified his sources and been accurate," she said.
Mr. Fournier, 75, was appointed to a five-year term as chairman by the Liberal government last September.
He is a well-known author, playwright and producer in Quebec.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) chairman Guy Fournier loves going to the washroom, Radio-Canada reports, and his image in Quebec is suffering because of it.
While trying to defend himself on Radio-Canada program ''Tout le monde en parle'' for false, disparaging comments about the Lebanese, Fournier faced even greater pressure. In May 2006, Fournier gave an interview to a French-language Toronto radio station, spending more than ten minutes recounting his love of what many refer to as "pooing".
According to his account, Fournier was on a train ride in the 1960s with his friend Michel. Michel commented that he considered this particular usage of a washroom as being as great a pleasure as sexual intercourse.
The interview did not receive much attention at the time, due to a limited audience.
In the interview, Fournier comments "as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer-lasting and more frequent than the other." He spoke out about distracting oneself on the toilet, and called doing a Sudoku or a crossword a "heresy". He continued that "it is just as heretical as if you read the ''National Post'' while making love. It is not to be recommended."
Fournier was on ''Tout le monde'' to apologise for unsubstantiated claims that bestiality is permitted in Lebanon, so long as the animal is of the opposite sex. In the 9 September issue of ''7 Jours'', Fournier wrote "In Lebanon, the law allows men to have sexual relations with animals as long as they are female! Doing the same thing with male beasts can result in the death penalty."
His claims were made solely on information found on the Internet.
While an apology was made on the French-language program ''Tout le monde'', which averages over two million listeners, Alain-Michel Ayache at the Université du Québec à Montréal is unsure whether he'll drop his lawsuit. Ayache, a political science instructor of Lebanese descent, has begun the steps required to file a lawsuit.
Ayache commented to the ''National Post'' that he is astonished Fournier wishes to remain the chairman of the CBC, after using such low journalistic standards.

Sharon permanecerá sedado y conectado a un respirador artificial al menos 24 horas más. Médicos en Jerusalén aseguran que el primer ministro de Israel, Ariel Sharon, tiene un estado de salud grave pero estable tras ser sometido a una intervención quirúrgica de siete horas para detener un derrame cerebral. En el último comunicado divulgado, el director del hospital Hadassah, Shlomo Mor-Yosef, dijo que deberían pasar al menos 48 horas -contando desde que finalizó la operación- para realizar cualquier intento de despertarlo. También se dijo que es posible que deba permanecer bajo anestesia hasta por 72 horas más. El galeno agregó que era imposible predecir qué impacto tendrá la enfermedad en las habilidades mentales de Sharon. Opine en BBC Enlace: ¿Israel sin Sharon? Richard Galpin, corresponsal de la BBC que se encuentra en las afueras del hospital, dijo que muchos en Israel creen que, incluso si sobrevive, la carrera política de Ariel Sharon ya llegó a su fin. "Necesitará un un largo período de recuperación y también puede sufrir daño permanente debido al infarto cerebral", indicó. Muchos creen que, incluso si sobrevive, la carrera política de Ariel Sharon ya llegó a su fin
Richard Galpin, BBC Jerusalén Sharon, de 77 años de edad, fue llevado de urgencia al hospital desde su residencia en el desierto de Negev luego de sufrir lo que los médicos describieron como una hemorragia mayor. Previamente, el director del hospital había declarado que Sharon permanecerá conectado a un respirador artificial por lo menos 24 horas. "Todos sus signos vitales se encuentran como podría esperarse después de una operación tan larga y tras la hemorragia cerebral tan severa que sufrió", explicó Mor-Yosef. Oraciones y plegarias El viceprimer ministro israelí y aliado de Sharon, Ehud Olmert, asumió la conducción del país y convocó al gabinete a una reunión de emergencia. Esperamos noticias del hospital con la esperanza de ver al primer ministro, quien se ha enfrentado a tantas batallas en el pasado, salir de ésta con salud y recuperar rápidamente su fortaleza
Ehud Olmert, primer ministro encargado Olmert dijo que el gabinete estuvo rezando por la rápida recuperación de Sharon. "Seguimos con preocupación el desarrollo de los eventos en este momento tan difícil y esperamos noticias del hospital con la esperanza de ver al Primer Ministro, quien se ha enfrentado a tantas batallas en el pasado, salir de ésta con salud y recuperar rápidamente su fortaleza", dijo Olmert. Entre tanto, el ministerio de Justicia informó en un comunicado que la fecha de los comicios previstos para el 28 de marzo no será modificada. "La disolución del parlamento y las elecciones anticipadas (...) no se verán afectadas por la salud del Primer Ministro". Funcionarios palestinos informaron que el presidente Mahmoud Abbas hizo un llamado telefónico a la oficina de Ariel Sharon para expresar su inquietud sobre la salud del líder israelí. El jefe negociador palestino, Saeb Erekat, manifestó su preocupación por las potenciales consecuencias para su gente en la competencia por reemplazar a Sharon, en términos de que se imponga una línea dura, aumente la expansión de asentamientos israelíes y mueran más palestinos. Incertidumbre Por su parte, la organización radical Hamas manifestó que el mundo está a punto de librarse de uno de los peores líderes en el mundo. El corresponsal de la BBC en Cairo, Heba Saleh, dijo que no hay figura más odiada por el pueblo árabe, por su responsabilidad en las masacres de palestinos en los campos de refugiados de Sabra y Chatila durante la invasión isarelí al Líbano en 1982. El director del hospital en el que se encuentra recluido Sharon aseguró que su condición es seria pero estable. Pero Saleh señaló que entre los funcionarios árabes también existía preocupación sobre el futuro de Sharon ya que su partida podría afectar seriamente los esfuerzos del proceso de paz en el Medio Oriente. "Para diplomáticos egipcios la muerte o la incapacitación de Sharon es muy preocupante. Señalan que fue él quien impulsó el desmantelamiento de la Franja de Gaza para entregar los territorios a los palestinos. También que tiene el peso necesario y la confianza de los votantes israelíes, lo cual le permitiría realizar más concesiones", explicó Saleh. "Su miedo ahora -prosiguió el corresponsal de la BBC- es que la realidad política en Israel dejará al líder del Likud, Benyamin Netanyahu, con las mayores posibilidades para convertirse en el próximo primer ministro. Y Netanyahu, dicen, es un hombre que no cree en hacer concesiones a los árabes. Definitivamente un liderazgo que los gobiernos árabes no ansían encontrar en el futuro".

Los médicos del hospital donde se encuentra recluido el primer ministro israelí Ariel Sharón después de sufrir un derrame cerebral masivo el día 4 de enero no saben todavía qué tanto daño ha sufrido hasta que despierte de un coma inducido por los cirujanos.
El doctor Shlomo Mor-Yosef, director del hospital Hadassah Ein Karem de Jerusalén, dice que su cerebro está funcionando. Sharon se encuentra bajo anestesia y con respiración asistida después de haber superado dos cirugías. Después de la primera operación, que duró 6 horas, los médicos lo volvieron a trasladar a la sala de operación para intervenirlo por otras tres horas, cuando una escanografía mostró que su cerebro continuaba sangrando. ''"Este tratamiento durará entre 48 y 72 horas, y luego intentaremos despertar gradualmente al primer ministro"'', agregó el médico.
Este es el segundo infarto cerebral que Sharón sufre en menos de tres semanas. El primer ministro había sufrido un derrame menor el pasado 18 de diciembre.
La inesperada condición de salud del primer ministro israelí sume a la región en la incertidumbre política, en un momento en que Sharón estaba logrando que la opinión europea tuviera una imagen más favorable de él, a raíz de su decisión de desmantelar los asentamientos judíos en la franja de Gaza y de haber abierto la frontera entre Egipto y Palestina.
Mientras el grupo extremista islámico Hamas declaraba que ''"toda la región estará mejor sin él. Sharón fue responsable de masacres y terrorismo durante décadas contra nuestro pueblo"'', Mahmud Abbas, presidente de la Autoridad Nacional Palestina, telefoneaba para preguntar por el estado de salud de Sharón.
Sharon se ha caracterizado durante su vida pública por su impredecibilidad y por su inclinación a tomar riesgos, tanto en lo militar como en lo político, lo que lo convirtió en una figura imprescindible en la vida política de Israel. En el cargo lo sustituye de manera interina Ehud Ólmert, viceprimer ministro y Ministro de Economía.

Autor: (PAP), (IAR), (PSZ) Poleć artykuł:
Aktualizacja: 21.15
W Beskidach prędkość wiatru przekraczała momentami 110 km/h. Jarosław Wojtasik z komendy wojewódzkiej straży pożarnej w Katowicach poinformował, że na południu województwa śląskiego strażacy interweniowali wieczorem około 130 razy, najczęściej w rejonie Bielska-Białej, Pszczyny i na Śląsku Cieszyńskim.
W powiecie Sucha Beskidzka (Małopolskie) wiatr zerwał lub uszkodził około 10 dachów - powiedział rzecznik tamtejszej straży pożarnej kpt. Łukasz Białończyk. Spadające elementy dachów poraniły dwie osoby. Jedna z nich z podejrzeniem urazu kręgosłupa została przewieziona do szpitala.
Upadający konar ranił też rowerzystę w Ustroniu na Śląsku Cieszyńskim. Tam strażacy interweniowali blisko 60 razy. Wiatr zerwał m.in. dwa dachy na budynkach w Puńcowie i Ustroniu i uszkodził kilka innych.
W powiecie bielskim wichura uszkodziła 10 dachów, m. in. w Szczyrku, Kozach i Jaworzu. Połamane drzewa przywaliły cztery samochody, w których znajdowali się ludzie; nikt nie został poszkodowany. Wskutek iskrzenia zwartych przewodów energetycznych w lesie w Zabrzegu wybuchł pożar. Strażacy usuwali także wywrócone słupy energetyczne i telekomunikacyjnych, a także przewrócone drzewa z dróg. Jak powiedział Patrycja Pokrzywa z bielskiej straży pożarnej, najwięcej szkód wiatr wyrządził w gminach Kozy, Jaworze i Jasienica.
W okolicach Wadowic (Małopolskie) wiatr zniszczył m.in. konstrukcję dachu w hali maszynowej w firmie Ponar. Wichura uszkodziła również blaszane pokrycie dachowe kamienicy.
Jak poinformował Kazimierz Szypuła z energetycznej firmy Tauron Dystrybucja, po południu wciąż pojawiały się zgłoszenia o awariach. Energetycy sukcesywnie je usuwają. Wieczorem prąd nie docierał m.in. do Wapienicy, peryferyjnej dzielnicy Bielska-Białej, a także pobliskiego Międzyrzecza i Łazów, Spytkowic w rejonie Wadowic i Ciśca na Żywiecczyźnie.
Również w Tatrach wieje silny wiatr, którego prędkość dochodzi do 140 km/h. Wichura zerwała linie energetyczne. Prądu nie ma m.in. w części Zakopanego. Dwie osoby są ranne, w tym jedna ciężko. Wiatr uszkodził budynki i samochody.
W Zakopanem przewrócony komin ciężko zranił pracownika hotelu. - Ranny ze zmiażdżoną ręką i urazem kręgosłupa trafił do szpitala, jego stan określono jako ciężki - poinformował rzecznik zakopiańskiej policji Kazimierz Pietruch. Do szpitala z lekkimi obrażeniami trafiła także nastolatka, na którą na Krupówkach spadł oderwany siłą wiatru element dachu.
Do godziny 20 policja otrzymała również zgłoszenie o czterech zniszczonych samochodach, na które spadły konary drzew. - Straż pożarna na bieżąco usuwa powalone na drogi konary drzew. Drzewa uszkodziły też dwa budynki - powiedział komendant powiatowej straży pożarnej w Zakopanem Andrzej Kowalcze. W sumie strażacy interweniowali kilkadziesiąt razy. Wichura uszkodziła linie energetyczne. Problemy z dostawą prądu ma część Zakopanego oraz sąsiednie miejscowości Witów i Kościelisko.
Silny wiatr w górach powoduje zawieje i zamiecie śnieżne. W taką pogodę turyści powinni zrezygnować z górskich wypraw, nawet do dolin reglowych, gdzie pod naporem wiatru łamią się gałęzie i konary drzew - ostrzegają ratownicy górscy. Halny zazwyczaj zwiastuje zmianę pogody, dlatego górale spodziewają się nadejścia zimy. Śnieg na Podhalu i w Tatrach ma zacząć padać już w weekend.
Tymczasem PKP Intercity ostrzega przed zakłóceniami w ruchu pociągów w zachodniej Polsce i w województwie śląskim. Do zakłóceń, spowodowanych przez bardzo silny wiatr, może dojść od dziś do jutrzejszego popołudnia.
Jeśli połamane drzewa zablokują tory, to opóźnienia w ruchu pociągów mogą sięgnąć kilkudziesięciu minut. PKP Intercity zapowiada, że w razie jakichkolwiek utrudnień drużyny konduktorskie będą na bieżąco informować pasażerów, a w pociągach z serwisem gastronomicznym wydawać ciepłe napoje. Zespół zarządzania kryzysowego na bieżąco monituruje sytuację i będzie informował o możliwych zmianach.

Korruptionswahrnehmungsindex 2009: Korruption bedroht die wirtschaftliche Erholung – Herausforderung besonders groß für Länder in Konfliktregionen
- Verantwortung Deutschlands, mit Blick auch auf den Koalitionsvertrag
- Enttäuschende Ergebnisse der Konferenz zur UN-Konvention gegen Korruption
Berlin, 17. November 2009 – Die Antikorruptionsorganisation Transparency International hat heute ihren Korruptionswahrnehmungsindex (CPI) veröffentlicht. Der CPI misst den Grad der bei Beamten und Politikern wahrgenommenen Korruption. Die Mehrzahl der 180 untersuchten Länder hat auf einer Skala von 0 (als sehr korrupt wahrgenommen) bis 10 Punkten (als wenig korrupt wahrgenommen) weniger als fünf Punkte erzielt. Es ist ein sogenannter zusammengesetzter Index, der sich auf verschiedene Experten- und Unternehmensumfragen stützt.
Weltweit werden umfangreiche Konjunkturpakete verabschiedet. Nur bei einer transparenten Ausgabe öffentlicher Gelder wird Verantwortlichkeit gesichert und kann der zerstörerische Kreislauf der Korruption durchbrochen werden.
- Die Schlusslichter des CPI
Schlusslichter des Index bilden hauptsächlich durch Kriege und dauerhafte Konflikte gebeutelte Länder. Dazu gehören Somalia (1,1 Punkte), Afghanistan (1,3), Myanmar (1,4) sowie der Sudan (1,5) und Irak (1,5). In den Ländern, deren staatliche Strukturen durch dauerhafte Konflikte zerrüttet worden sind, gerät Korruption außer Kontrolle und stärkt die Plünderung von öffentlichen Ressourcen sowie Unsicherheit und Rechtlosigkeit.
- Keine Entwarnung für Industriestaaten
Die höchste Punktzahl im CPI 2009 haben Neuseeland (9,4 Punkte), Dänemark (9,3), Singapur (9,2), Schweden (9,2) und die Schweiz (9,0). Dies zeugt von politischer Stabilität, einer langen Tradition von Konfliktlösungsmechanismen und soliden politischen Institutionen. Doch die Industrieländer, insbesondere die Finanzzentren, in denen durch Korruption erlangte Gelder versteckt werden können (sog. Schattenfinanzzentren), dürfen sich nicht zurücklehnen. Gerade sie unterminieren die weltweiten Anstrengungen zur Korruptionsbekämpfung und Rückerlangung illegal erworbenen Vermögens.
Huguette Labelle, Vorsitzende von Transparency International: „Geld aus Korruptionsdelikten darf keinen sicheren Hafen finden. Es ist an der Zeit, den Ausreden ein Ende zu setzen. Wir begrüßen die Anstrengungen der OECD in diesem Bereich, aber wir fordern mehr bilaterale Verträge zum Informationsaustausch, um die Geheimhaltung vollständig zu beenden.”
Gerade in Industrieländern haben häufig die an korrupten Geschäften beteiligten Unternehmen ihren Sitz. Daher muss auch Deutschland seine Anstrengungen verstärken, Korruption konsequent und wirksam zu bekämpfen.
Deutschland unverändert auf Platz 14 – nationaler Handlungsbedarf besteht fort: Im Koalitionsvertrag Ansatzpunkte zur Korruptionsprävention, aber auch Lücken
Deutschland ist unverändert auf Platz 14 (8,0 Punkte; Vorjahr: Platz 14 – 7,9 Punkte) und befindet sich damit im Mittelfeld von vergleichbaren Staaten. Welche Hoffnungen für die Korruptionsprävention und –bekämpfung in Deutschland bestehen, kann ein Blick in den Koalitionsvertrag zwischen CDU, FDP und CSU zeigen. Während das Stichwort „Transparenz“ zwanzig Mal an den verschiedensten Stellen im Koalitionsvertrag auftaucht, ist von „Korruption“ kaum die Rede. Der Begriff taucht vor allem im Hinblick auf Afghanistan und die Entwicklungsländer auf.
Sylvia Schenk, Vorsitzende von Transparency Deutschland: „Wir begrüßen die Bedeutung, die der Transparenz inzwischen beigemessen wird, nachdem die Wirtschaftskrise ja auch auf einen Mangel an Transparenz zurückzuführen ist. Allerdings genügen Worte, insbesondere an andere Länder gerichtet, schon lange nicht mehr – es müssen Taten folgen. Deutschland trägt als führende Exportnation und politisches Schwergewicht eine besondere Verantwortung weltweit. Wir haben Handlungsbedarf im Strafrecht, beim Thema Anti-Korruptionsregister und dem Schutz von Hinweisgebern.“
Zu diesen Punkten findet sich nichts im Koalitionsvertrag. Damit bleibt auch offen, ob das Parlament endlich durch Verschärfung des Tatbestandes der Abgeordnetenbestechung (§ 108 e StGB) die Voraussetzungen für die Ratifizierung der UN-Konvention gegen Korruption (UNCAC) schaffen wird.
Konkret finden sich Ansatzpunkte für eine wirksamere Korruptionsprävention im Koalitionsvertrag beim Arbeitnehmerdatenschutz, dem mehr Gewicht eingeräumt und zugleich den Arbeitgebern eine verlässliche Regelung für den Kampf gegen Korruption an die Hand gegeben werden soll. Außerdem soll die Transparenz der Entscheidungen kommunaler Gesellschaften erhöht und im Bereich Vergabe im sogenannten Unterschwellenbereich verstärkt werden.
Enttäuschendes Ergebnis der Vertragsstaatenkonferenz
Enttäuschend war für Transparency der Abschluss der 3. Konferenz der Vertragsstaaten der UN-Konferenz gegen Korruption (UNCAC) in Doha (Katar) am vergangenen Freitag. Der dort beschlossene Überwachungsmechanismus für die Umsetzung der Konvention überlässt es den geprüften Ländern selbst, inwieweit sie Länderbesuche der Prüfgruppen, Gespräche mit Organisationen der Zivilgesellschaft und die Veröffentlichung des Länderberichts zulassen.
Deutschland hatte an der Konferenz nur als Beobachter teilgenommen, da einer UNCAC-Ratifizierung durch Deutschland die unzureichende Regelung des Straftatbestandes der Abgeordnetenbestechung (§108e, StGB) entgegensteht. 141 Länder weltweit haben die Konvention bereits ratifiziert.

180 Staaten hat die Nichtregierungsorganisation Transparency International (TI) in einem Ranking bewertet, das den Grad der Korruption zum Ausdruck bringen soll. Schlusslichter der Tabelle bilden dabei Afghanistan und Somalia, in denen die Korruption besonders große Ausmaße angenommen hat. Auf einer Skala von 0 bis 10 erhielten die beiden Länder Indexwerte von 1,3 beziehungsweise 1,1. Dabei wäre der Wert 0 gleichbedeutend mit einer Wahrnehmung als „sehr korrupt“. Der „Korruptionswahrnehmungsindex“ wurde anhand der Auswertung verschiedener Experten- und Unternehmensumfragen ermittelt und misst den Grad der Wahrnehmung der Korruption aus der Sicht von Politikern und Beamten.
Besonders muss die Bevölkerung unter Korruption auch in Myanmar (1,4) dem Sudan (1,5) und dem Irak (1,5) leiden. Die in diesen Ländern vorhandenen lang andauernden Konflikte bilden nach Ansicht von Transparency International den Nährboden für Korruption. In Afghanistan käme neben den militärischen Auseinandersetzungen dem um sich greifenden Drogenhandel eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Ausbreitung der Korruption zu. Ämterkauf und Beeinflussung der Justiz seien weit verbreitet. Sogar bei der Grundversorgung der Bevölkerung sei Korruption an der Tagesordnung.
Am besten schnitten in dem TI-Jahresbericht Neuseeland (9,4 Punkte), Dänemark (9,3), Singapur (9,2), Schweden (9,2) und die Schweiz (9,0) ab. Deutschland und Österreich gelten als vergleichsweise wenig korrupt, Deutschland konnte sein Ranking jedoch nicht verbessern. Es liegt mit 8 Punkten erneut auf Platz 14, Österreich erhielt 7,9 Punkte. Als Problem sieht TI in Deutschland insbesondere das Thema „Abgeordnetenbestechung“. TI vermisst in dem Koalitionsvertrag der neuen Regierung in Deutschland Aussagen zu diesem Problem. Deutschland habe es bisher versäumt, die UN-Konvention gegen Korruption (UNCAC) zu ratifizieren. Dazu müsse der Tatbestand der Abgeordnetenbestechung im Strafgesetzbuch verschärft werden.
Innerhalb Europas hat Griechenland besondere Probleme mit der Korruption. Das Land erreicht zusammen mit Bulgarien und Rumänien einen Korruptionsindex unter 4 Punkten und belegt nun Platz 71. Ähnlich große Probleme gibt es auch in Italien (Indexwert: 4,3 - Platz 63) und der Türkei (4,4 - Platz 61).
Die USA rangiert auf Platz 19 des Indexes. Russland kommt nur auf Platz 146. Durch sein scharfes Vorgehen gegen korrupte Beamte konnte die Volksrepublik China (Index 3,6) Rangplatz 79 belegen.

Somalia und Afghanistan sind die korruptesten Länder der Welt. Doch auch Deutschland erhält von Transparency International einen Rüffel. Hauptproblem: Abgeordnetenbestechung.
Die instabilien politischen Verhältnisse in Staaten wie Afghanistan und Somalia spiegeln sich auch in der aktuellen Korruptionsliste von Transparency International (TI) wider. Der ostafrikanische Staat ist demnach der korrupteste der Welt. Auf dem zweitschlechtesten Platz rangiert Afghanistan, erklärte die Organisation in ihrem am Dienstag veröffentlichten Jahresbericht. Ämterkauf, eine bestechliche Justiz und der florierende Drogenhandel hätten am Hindukusch das zweite Jahr in Folge zu einer Verschlechterung geführt. Selbst bei der Grundversorgung sei Bestechung für die Menschen dort an der Tagesordnung.
Zu den Schlusslichtern gehören außerdem der Irak, der Sudan und Birma. Sie erhielten auf einer Skala von null bis zehn Noten unter 1,5. „In den Ländern, deren staatliche Strukturen durch dauerhafte Konflikte zerrüttet worden sind, gerät Korruption außer Kontrolle und stärkt die Plünderung von öffentlichen Ressourcen sowie Unsicherheit und Rechtlosigkeit.“
Musterschüler in Skandinavien Transparency benutzt für seinen jährlichen Korruptionsbericht Umfragen unter Geschäftsleuten und unabhängigen Experten, die über die von ihnen erlebte Korruption in Firmen und Verwaltungen berichten. Der Korruptionswahrnehmungsindex misst damit den Grad der bei Beamten und Politikern wahrgenommenen Korruption. Insgesamt wurden 180 Staaten untersucht. Am besten schneiden Neuseeland (9,4), Dänemark (9,3), Singapur und Schweden (9,2) sowie die Schweiz (9) ab. Auch Deutschland und Österreich gehören laut TI mit den Noten 8 und 7,9 zu den Ländern mit einer vergleichsweise geringen Korruption. Die Bundesrepublik liegt damit unverändert im Mittelfeld auf Platz 14.

Korruptionsrisiko Wirtschaftskrise
Allerdings ist nach Meinung der Korruptionbekämpfer mit der Wirtschaftskrise das Risiko von Bestechung und Bestechlichkeit auch hierzulande gestiegen. Es fehle insgesamt an einer geschlossenen Strategie der Bundesregierung, gegen Korruption vorzugehen, sagte die Vorsitzende Sylvia Schenk. Im Zuge der Konjunkturprogramme werde das Korruptionsrisiko noch erhöht.
„Es geht immer mehr Unternehmen darum, sich um jeden Preis Aufträge zu sichern. Da wird dann eben nicht mehr danach gefragt, wie ein solcher Auftrag erlangt wird.“ Schenk forderte die Bundesregierung zu einer „geschlossenen Strategie“ bei der Korruptionsbekämpfung auf. Im Koalitionsvertrag fehle ein Anti-Korruptions-Register, mit dem auffällige Firmen von Auftragsvergaben ausgeschlossen werden können.
„Preisabsprachen im Bausektor, Bestechung im Parlament“
Besonders betroffen von Korruption ist nach Einschätzung Schenks der Bausektor. „Da gibt es schon das eine oder andere, von Preisabsprachen bis hin eben auch zu Bestechung und Korruption“, sagte sie.
Als Hauptproblem in Deutschland sieht Schenk jedoch die Abgeordnetenbestechung. Schenk warf der Regierung vor, diesen Punkt der UN-Konvention gegen Korruption bislang nicht ratifiziert zu haben, weil es manchem Abgeordneten vielleicht nicht recht wäre. „Wir haben zwar 2003 diese Konvention unterzeichnet, aber immer noch nicht ratifiziert, was wirklich peinlich ist.“ Bislang sei nur der reine Stimmenkauf strafbar, alles andere nicht. Der Bundesgerichtshof habe den Gesetzgeber bereits zum Handeln aufgefordert.
Italien reichlich korrupt
Unter den 25 EU-Staaten bilden Bulgarien, Griechenland und Rumänien mit einer Einstufung von 3,8 die Schlusslichter. Besorgt äußerte sich Tranparency vor allem über die Situation in Griechenland, das wegen unzureichender Bemühungen bei der Korruptionsbekämpfung und einer Reihe von Skandalen binnen eines Jahres um 0,9 Punkte auf einen Wert von 3,8 abrutschte. Auch Italien wird als besonders korrupt bewertet: Mit einer Note von 4,3 liegt das Land hinter dem EU-Beitrittskandidaten Türkei (4,4).
Als leichte Verbesserung wertete TI die vom russischen Präsident Dmitri Medwedew angestoßenen Gesetze gegen Korruption, das mit einem Wert von 2,2 dennoch nur auf Platz 146 in der Liste kommt. Problematisch sei in Russland vor allem ein zu starker Einfluss der Regierung auf Wirtschaft und Unternehmen. Positiv bewertete die Organisation das scharfe Vorgehen Chinas gegen korrupte Staatsbedienstete bis hin zu Ministern, das zu einem stabilen Wert von 3,6 (Rang 79) für das Land beigetragen habe.
Ausdrücklich begrüßte TI die Anstrengungen der OECD zur Austrocknung von Steueroasen. Als Ergänzung dazu seien allerdings mehr bilaterale Verträge nötig, um in solchen Ländern gesetzliche Geheimhaltungsregeln zu Fall zu bringen, die den Kampf gegen die Korruption stark behinderten.
Die Organisation rief die Industrienationen auf, die armen Länder am Ende der Skala nicht von der Entwicklungshilfe auszuschließen. Gerade für sie sei es wichtig, die Institutionen zu stärken. Investoren und Geberländer müssten aber auf Transparenz bestehen und von den Empfängern Rechenschaft über die bewilligten Mittel verlangen.

Transparency International (TI) kritisiert die Untätigkeit der neuen Bundesregierung bei der Korruptionsbekämpfung: "Deutschland trägt als führende Exportnation und politisches Schwergewicht eine besondere Verantwortung weltweit", sagte die Vorsitzende der deutschen TI-Sektion, Sylvia Schenk, bei der Vorstellung des Korruptionsindexes der Organisation. Es gebe "Handlungsbedarf im Strafrecht, beim Thema Antikorruptionsregister und dem Schutz von Hinweisgebern", kritisierte Schenk. Zu diesen Punkten finde sich nichts im Koalitionsvertrag.
Dabei erhöhten die milliardenschweren Konjunkturpakete im Rahmen der Weltwirtschaftskrise die Gefahr der Bestechung von öffentlichen Bediensteten auch in Deutschland. Immer mehr Unternehmen müssten derzeit um jeden Preis Aufträge sichern, sagte Schenk. Häufig werde "nicht mehr danach gefragt, wie ein solcher Auftrag erlangt wird", zum Beispiel durch Schmiergeld. Hinzu komme, dass viele Unternehmen massiv Personal abgebaut hätten und so Kontrollmöglichkeiten verloren gegangen sein dürften. Es sind vielerorts "nicht mehr genügend, ich sage mal, Augen vorhanden, um auf Vorgänge auch zu schauen", erläuterte Schenk.
Auf dem am Dienstag in Berlin präsentierten Korruptionsindex von Transparency International belegt Deutschland unverändert Rang 14. Neuseeland liegt auf Platz eins, gefolgt von Dänemark. Singapur und Schweden rangieren gemeinsam auf dem dritten Platz. Am schlechtesten schnitten unter den 180 untersuchten Ländern Somalia, Afghanistan, Birma, Sudan und Irak ab. Die USA rangieren auf Platz 19.

180 Staaten hat die Nichtregierungsorganisation Transparency International (TI) in einem Ranking bewertet, das den Grad der Korruption zum Ausdruck bringen soll. Schlusslichter der Tabelle bilden dabei Afghanistan und Somalia, in denen die Korruption besonders große Ausmaße angenommen hat. Auf einer Skala von 0 bis 10 erhielten die beiden Länder Indexwerte von 1,3 beziehungsweise 1,1. Dabei wäre der Wert 0 gleichbedeutend mit einer Wahrnehmung als „sehr korrupt“. Der „Korruptionswahrnehmungsindex“ wurde anhand der Auswertung verschiedener Experten- und Unternehmensumfragen ermittelt und misst den Grad der Wahrnehmung der Korruption aus der Sicht von Politikern und Beamten.
Besonders muss die Bevölkerung unter Korruption auch in Myanmar (1,4) dem Sudan (1,5) und dem Irak (1,5) leiden. Die in diesen Ländern vorhandenen lang andauernden Konflikte bilden nach Ansicht von Transparency International den Nährboden für Korruption. In Afghanistan käme neben den militärischen Auseinandersetzungen dem um sich greifenden Drogenhandel eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Ausbreitung der Korruption zu. Ämterkauf und Beeinflussung der Justiz seien weit verbreitet. Sogar bei der Grundversorgung der Bevölkerung sei Korruption an der Tagesordnung.
Am besten schnitten in dem TI-Jahresbericht Neuseeland (9,4 Punkte), Dänemark (9,3), Singapur (9,2), Schweden (9,2) und die Schweiz (9,0) ab. Deutschland und Österreich gelten als vergleichsweise wenig korrupt, Deutschland konnte sein Ranking jedoch nicht verbessern. Es liegt mit 8 Punkten erneut auf Platz 14, Österreich erhielt 7,9 Punkte. Als Problem sieht TI in Deutschland insbesondere das Thema „Abgeordnetenbestechung“. TI vermisst in dem Koalitionsvertrag der neuen Regierung in Deutschland Aussagen zu diesem Problem. Deutschland habe es bisher versäumt, die UN-Konvention gegen Korruption (UNCAC) zu ratifizieren. Dazu müsse der Tatbestand der Abgeordnetenbestechung im Strafgesetzbuch verschärft werden.
Innerhalb Europas hat Griechenland besondere Probleme mit der Korruption. Das Land erreicht zusammen mit Bulgarien und Rumänien einen Korruptionsindex unter 4 Punkten und belegt nun Platz 71. Ähnlich große Probleme gibt es auch in Italien (Indexwert: 4,3 - Platz 63) und der Türkei (4,4 - Platz 61).
Die USA rangiert auf Platz 19 des Indexes. Russland kommt nur auf Platz 146. Durch sein scharfes Vorgehen gegen korrupte Beamte konnte die Volksrepublik China (Index 3,6) Rangplatz 79 belegen.

Angela Merkel assumiu ter cometido "um erro" e pediu "desculpa a todos os cidadãos" pela decisão de apertar as restrições para conter a epidemia de Covid-19 e "confinar" a Alemanha durante os cinco dias do fim de semana de Páscoa.
Após uma reunião por videoconferência com os ministros-presidente dos 16 estados federais alemães, a Chanceler acabou por reverter a decisão de confinar o país durante cinco dias, em redor da época pascal, e afinal igrejas e lojas vão poder manter-se em atividade.
Um erro tem de ser chamado um erro. Mais importante, tem de ser corrigido e se possível a tempo.
"Sei que esta proposta provocou ainda mais incerteza. Lamento muito e por isso peço desculpa a todos os cidadãos. Angela Merkel Chanceler da Alemanha
Apesar do recuo na Alemanha, a vizinha Bélgica decidiu apertar ainda mais as restrições em vigor.
As escolas fecham na segunda-feira e o acesso ao comércio não essencial é limitado já a partir desta quarta-feira à noite. Cabeleireiros e salões de beleza para os belgas, só depois de 25 de abril.
"Outras medidas mantém-se em vigor, como a proibição de viagens não essenciais. Parece-me claro para todos de que durante estes tempos difíceis não podemos viajar em lazer para outros países. Vamos, aliás, aumentar os controlos das fronteiras durante a Páscoa", afirmou o primeiro-ministro belga, Alexander de Croo.
São cada vez mais os europeus preocupados com as restrições de mobilidade que estão a ser impostas para a Páscoa.
Em França, o governo também está a ponderar impedir as viagens turísticas para o estrangeiro e a nível interno adicionou mais três departamentos à lista dos que já tem restrições mais severas.
A epidemia mantém-se grave, inflamada pelas novas variantes do vírus já a circular pela Europa, sobretudo a britânica.
A própria Comissão Europeia alerta para um agravamento das infeções e das hospitalizações durante as próximas semanas.

O governo Biden, que estabeleceu uma meta de vacinas 100 milhões de pessoas nos primeiros 100 dias de no cargo, atingiu outro marco na sexta-feira passada: os Estados Unidos (EU) tornaram-se a primeira nação a vacinar 100 milhões de pessoas.
Os casos de , a doença causada pelo Sars-Cov-2, no entanto, continuam a aumentar em algumas regiões dos Estados Unidos.
Joe Biden pediu aos americanos para que não contribuam para o retrocesso do "progresso que todos nós lutamos tanto para alcançar", dizendo ainda que "precisamos que todos os americanos se esforcem e mantenham a guarda nesta reta final."
No início desta semana, Biden também disse que com o aumento da pressão para a vacinação "pelo menos 90% de todos os adultos neste país serão elegíveis para serem vacinados até 19 de abril, daqui a apenas três semanas, porque temos as vacinas. Para a grande maioria dos adultos, você não terá que esperar até 1º de maio."
'''Novas restrições na Europa'''
A Itália decretou de "zona vermelha" válido para o feriado de Páscoa a fim de evitar um aumento de casos de covid. No país, que tem mais de 3,65 milhões de casos acumulados, a determinação de "zona vermelha" é o nível mais alto de restrições, o que obriga o fechamento de todas as atividades não-essenciais, bem como restringe a circulação das pessoas nas ruas.
Já na França, restrições mais duras passaram a valer a partir de ontem, incluindo a proibição de viagens que não sejam de curta distância e o fechamento de atividades não-essenciais, incluindo o fechamento de creches e escolas.
A situação também é preocupante na Alemanha, que entre a Sexta-Feira Santa e o sábado de Páscoa registrou novas 31 mil infecções e onde o governo de Angela Merkel, após críticas recentes, voltou atrás num lockdown de Páscoa. Autoridades de Saúde, entre elas Lothar Wieler, presidente do Instituto de doenças infecciosas Robert Koch, alertam uma 3ª onda de covid pode chegar com 100 mil novas contaminações a cada dia no país nos próximos meses.
Sete países europeus estão no Top 10 dos com mais casos acumulados de covid-19, segundo dados do Worldometer: França (4.741.759), Rússia (4.580.894, Reino Unido (4.357.091), Itália (3.650.247), Turquia (3.445.052), Espanha (3.300.965) e Alemanha (2.886.020).
Três ontem também estavam entre os 10 que mais registraram novos casos: Turquia (44.756), Polônia (28.084), Itália (21.261), Ucrânia (20.341) e Alemanha (13.641).
Além, disto, vários países europeus sofrem com problemas em seus programa de vacinação. Diversos cidadãos da União Europeia, entre eles os alemães, por exemplo, têm rejeitado a aplicação da vacina de Oxford-, após algumas pessoas apresentarem coágulos sanguíneos como possível reação adversa ao imunizante.

Se a propagação do novo coronavírus não for contida na Alemanha o país pode chegar às 100.000 novas infeções por dia.
Um alerta feito pelo presidente do Instituto de doenças infecciosas Robert Koch, que acrescenta que se está "no início da 3ª vaga". Lothar Wieler afirma que "h__á sinais muito claros de que esta vaga pode ser ainda pior do que as duas primeiras. Temos que estar preparados para o facto de que mais pessoas ficarão gravemente doentes, que os hospitais ficarão sobrecarregados, que muitas pessoas morrerão".
A Alemanha emitiu avisos em relação às viagens para vários países europeus, incluindo França, Áustria, Dinamarca e Chéquia. Passageiros que cheguem ao país de outros incluídos na lista devem apresentar um teste negativo à Covid-19, feito no máximo há 48 horas. Ficam também obrigados a 10 dias de isolamento ou cinco, feito nessa altura, se o segundo teste der também negativo.
A Polónia continua a bater recordes diários de infetados, pelo terceiro dia consecutivo, 35.143 casos reportados em 24 horas. Na quinta-feira, o governo polaco tinha anunciado novas restrições, a partir de sábado e até nove de abril. Apenas os serviços essenciais podem abrir e aumentam os condicionamentos em relação ao número de pessoas que podem estar dentro destes estabelecimentos.
Na Hungria, o número de mortes tem vindo a diminuir ao longo da semana, após se atingirem números recorde. O que levou já as autoridades a anunciarem uma diminuição das restrições. No país já foram vacinadas 2,5 milhões de pessoas.
Vacinas que não estão a chegar a todos. Por isso, a Organização Mundial de Saúde pede aos países que façam doações. "A Covax precisa de 10 milhões de doses, imediatamente, para que 20 países possam começar a vacinar os seus profissionais de saúde e idosos nas próximas duas semanas", afirmou Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, diretor-geral do organismo, instando os países doares a "entregarem o máximo de doses que puderem" para se atingir "essa meta".
A AstraZeneca tem sido uma «pedra no sapato» da União Europeia, por não cumprir os prazos estipulados para as entregas. Para fazer face ao problema a Agência Europeia de Medicamentos avança para a aprovação de novas fábricas para produção de vacinas da farmacêutica o que deverá acelerar as entregar.

Nos feriados da Páscoa, Itália vai ficar fechada e com uma "zona vermelha" em todo o território. Só é permitido sair de casa por motivos de trabalho ou em casos de emergência. A situação deve manter-se durante o mês de abril por causa do aumento de casos de Covid-19 no país.
As estações ferroviárias e aeroportos estão praticamente vazios. Embora seja permitido viajar para o estrangeiro, o governo decretou a obrigação de uma quarentena de cinco dias e um novo teste ao coronavírus para aqueles que regressam até 6 de abril de países da União Europeia. Por isso, muitos preferiram desistir de passar férias fora de Itália.
Alemanha
Na Alemanha, o presidente pede “união” e diz que o país está a sofrer uma "crise de confiança". Nas últimas semanas aumentaram os casos de Covid-19 e a desconfiança em relação à resposta do governo de Berlim.
Num discurso transmitido na televisão, Frank-Walter Steinmeier admitiu que "houve erros" relativamente a testes e vacinações". Sublinhou que a confiança numa democracia assenta num entendimento muito frágil entre os cidadãos e o Estado. “Eu sei que vocês, cidadãos, estão a fazer a vossa parte nesta crise histórica". Fizeram muito e passaram muito'', disse o presidente.
França
Em França, aproveitam-se os últimos dias de praia. Este sábado, começam as novas restrições de viagens para tentar travar o aumento de casos e de mortes no país. A partir de 19h, a vigilância reforçada já imposta a 19 departamentos será alargada a toda a metrópole durante quatro semanas: as empresas consideradas não essenciais vão ter de fechar, as deslocações serão limitadas a 10 km e, pela primeira vez desde o confinamento da primavera de 2020, os infantários e escolas ficam fechados.

O governo Biden, que estabeleceu uma meta de 100 milhões de vacinas nos primeiros 100 dias do Presidente Joe Biden no cargo, atingiu outro marco na sexta-feira - os EUA tornaram-se a primeira nação a vacinar 100 milhões de pessoas.
Os casos de COVID-19, a doença causada pelo coronavírus, no entanto, continuam a aumentar em algumas regiões dos Estados Unidos.
Joe Biden pediu aos americanos que não contribuam para o retrocesso do "progresso que todos nós lutamos tanto para alcançar", continuando, "precisamos que todos os americanos se esforcem e mantenham a guarda nesta recta final."
No início desta semana, Biden também disse que com o aumento da pressão para a vacinação "pelo menos 90% de todos os adultos neste país serão elegíveis para serem vacinados até 19 de Abril, daqui a apenas três semanas, porque temos as vacinas. Para a grande maioria dos adultos, você não terá que esperar até 1 de Maio."
A Índia disse neste sábado, 3 de Abril, que registou quase 90 mil novas infecções na sexta-feira, o maior total diário em seis meses.
A Itália iniciou um bloqueio estrito de "zona vermelha" num esforço para evitar um aumento de casos de COVID-19. A Itália relatou 3,6 milhões de casos, de acordo com o Centro de Pesquisa do Coronavirus Johns Hopkins.
A designação de zona vermelha é o maior nível de restrições do país. Todos os movimentos não essenciais foram banidos.
O bloqueio de três dias coincide com o feriado da Páscoa, forçando o Papa Francisco, o líder dos católicos romanos do mundo, a fazer o seu discurso anual de Páscoa diante de uma Praça de São Pedro vazia.
Em comparação com os EUA, as nações europeias estão a ter dificuldades para acelerar os programas de vacinação.
A Organização Mundial da Saúde disse que apenas 10% da população da Europa recebeu uma dose de vacina e apenas 4% recebeu duas doses.
Uma razão para o atraso entre as nações europeias é a dependência do uso da vacina AstraZeneca. Houve relatos de coágulos sanguíneos em algumas pessoas que receberam a injecção. A farmacêutica rejeitou essa afirmação e não encontrou evidências que ligassem a vacina a coágulos sanguíneos. A Holanda na sexta-feira seguiu a Alemanha, que suspendeu o uso da vacina para pessoas com menos de 60 anos.
Incidentes de pessoas que desenvolveram coágulos sanguíneos são raros. A Agência Europeia de Medicamentos afirmou que a vacina AstraZeneca é segura.
A França anunciou na quinta-feira planos para um terceiro bloqueio nacional para conter o aumento dos casos de COVID-19.
Também na sexta-feira, o CDC atualizou as orientações para dizer que pessoas totalmente vacinadas podem viajar sem observar quarentenas, embora ainda devam usar máscaras, praticar o distanciamento social e lavar as mãos com frequência, advertiu a agência de saúde dos EUA.
Desde o início da pandemia o mundo regista mais de 130 milhões de casos confirmados de COVID-19 e 2,8 milhões de mortes, de acordo com o Centro de Pesquisa do Coronavirus Johns Hopkins. Os EUA lideram com 30,6 milhões de casos do vírus, seguidos do Brasil com 12,9 milhões de infecções e da Índia com 12,3 milhões de casos.

A pathogen’s harmfulness is determined by the combination of Ro (reproductive number) and the case fatality rate.
How contagious is coronavirus? (Reproductive Number (Ro) of 2019-nCoV)
The novel coronavirus' reproductive number (Ro, pronounced R-nought or r-zero), which measures how rapidly a disease spreads, is estimated between 2.0 and 3.1, according to preliminary studies [5][6]. Another study provided a similar estimate of 2.6 with an uncertainty range of: 1.5-3.5[7]. The WHO noted on January 23 that human-to-human transmission was occurring and a preliminary R0 estimate of 1.4-2.5[13].
For comparison, the RO for the common flu is 1.3 and for SARS it was 2.0.
Ro represents the average number of people who will catch the disease from a single infected person, so if R0 for coronavirus is 3.8, it means that on average every case of Wuhan coronavirus would create between 2 and 3 new cases.
Fatality Rate (case fatality ratio or CFR) of 2019-nCoV
The novel coronavirus' case fatality rate is currently estimated at around 3%[9] (between 2% and 4%).
For comparison, the case fatality rate with seasonal flu is less than 0.01% (1 death per every 10,000 cases)[7].Fatality rate for SARS was 10%, and for MERS 34%.
Incubation Period (how long it takes for symptoms to appear)
The Wuhan novel coronavirus appears to be contagious before symptoms appear, as it is estimated to have an incubation period of 10 to 14 days, according to Ma Xiaowei, the director of China’s National Health Commission[11].
The United States' CDC estimates the incubation period for 2019-nCoV to be between 2 and 14 days [10].
This means that symptoms of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14, during which the virus is contagious but the patient does not display any symptom.
WHO Risk Assessment
China: Very High
Region: High
Global: High
Not a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)
The WHO hasn't declared the outbreak an international health emergency. The WHO emergency committee has convened twice [13] (on January 22, and January 23) and has twice declined to make such a declaration.

Unschuldig hinter Gittern - Kaninchen in der Intensivmast
In Deutschland werden jährlich etwa 41.000 Tonnen Kaninchenfleisch verzehrt. Das entspricht über 25 Millionen Kaninchen, welche zum überwiegenden Teil unter nicht tiergerechten Bedingungen gehalten werden. Kaninchen sind Gruppentiere. Bei den hobbymäßigen Rassekaninchenzüchtern und traditionellen Hauskaninchenhaltern müssen sie jedoch meistens einzeln und in kleinen Käfigen leben. Mit besonderen Qualen ist allerdings die gewinnorientierte Intensivmast verbunden. Allein 4 Millionen Kaninchen kommen aus deutschen Mastanlagen, weitere 5 Millionen geschlachteter Tiere werden aus Ländern mit niedrigen Tierschutzstandards wie China, Polen, Ungarn und Tschechien importiert, wo es den Kaninchen ähnlich ergeht wie in unseren Mastfarmen. Das Leben im Käfig Die intensive Kaninchenhaltung erfolgt hierzulande auf großen Farmen in geschlossenen Ställen mit unterschiedlichen Käfigsystemen. Im Schnitt werden in einem Betrieb über 100 Zuchthäsinnen und mehreren tausend Mastkaninchen gehalten. In dieser sogenannten „wirtschaftlichen Kaninchenhaltung“ wird an allem gespart, was die absoluten Grundbedürfnisse der Tiere übersteigt. Die Kaninchen werden in kleinen Drahtgitterkäfigen gehalten, die häufig auch noch übereinander gestapelt sind. Jedem Tier steht etwa die Größe eines DIN-A-4- Blatts an Lebensraum zu Verfügung. Hoppelsprünge oder ein Aufrichten auf die Hinterläufe sind in der drangvollen Enge meist nicht möglich. Die einstreulosen Käfige bieten keinerlei Versteck- oder Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten.

Die Folgen
Verdammt zu einem bewegungs- und reizarmen Leben leiden viele Kaninchen an Wirbelsäulendeformationen, Knochenveränderungen und Verhaltensstörungen wie Kannibalismus und Gitternagen. Auch die Käfigböden sind perforiert, schneiden tief in die weichen Läufe der Kaninchen. Unter den Käfigen türmen sich stinkend die Fäkalien. Ammoniakdämpfe und krankheitserregende Keime führen zu Augen- und Atemwegserkrankungen. Als Futter wird fast ausschließlich sehr energiereiches pelletiertes Alleinfutter verwendet. Der niedrige Rohfasergehalt dieser stärke- und eiweißreichen Futtermittel führt häufig zu starken Durchfallerkrankungen. Durch umfangreichen Medikamenteneinsatz versuchen die Mäster, den Kaninchen trotz der alles andere als tiergerechten Haltungsbedingungen eine möglichst hohe Produktivität abzupressen. Die Verlustraten liegen dennoch oft im zweistelligen Prozentbereich.
Turbomast
Es sind vorrangig die speziell für die Intensivmast gezüchteten ZIKA-Hybridkaninchen, die auf den Kaninchenfarmen gehalten werden. Durch ihre angezüchtete enorme Gewichtszunahme, die Bewegungsarmut im Käfig und das gehaltvolle Energiefutter erreichen ZIKA-Mastkaninchen nach nur 85 Tage ein Schlachtgewicht von ca. 3 kg. Normalerweise können Hauskaninchen im Durchschnitt 10 Jahre alt werden.

Gebärmaschinen
Die Zuchtkaninchen müssen in den Farmen ständig für „Nachschub“ an Mastkaninchen sorgen. Da die Häsinnen bereits 1 bis 3 Tage nach dem Werfen wieder gedeckt oder besamt werden können etwa acht bis zehn Würfe pro Häsin und Jahr erzielt werden. Kein Wunder, dass die die durchschnittliche Lebenserwartung von Zuchthäsinnen in der Intensivhaltung weniger als 1 Jahr beträgt.

Herzlich Willkommen
Auf unserer Website erhalten Sie einen Überblick, unter welchen Lebensbedingungen Kaninchen für die Fleischgewinnung gehalten werden.
Kaninchenfleisch liegt im Trend, nach den Skandalen um BSE, MKS und Vogelgrippe hat sich der Verzehr von 1995 auf 2008 regelrecht verdoppelt. Unter deutschen Konsumenten gilt das Fleisch als besonders fett‑ und cholesterinarm, mehr als 25 Millionen Kaninchen werden so jährlich verspeist. Doch wie die Tiere gehalten werden, bleibt für den ahnungslosen Verbraucher meist im Dunkeln verborgen. Lobbyvereinigung und Handelskonzerne suggerieren gerne eine ländliche Tieridylle, doch das Gegenteil ist oftmals der Fall. In engen Käfigen hocken tausende Kaninchen und warten auf ihren Tod, artgerechte Haltung: Fehlanzeige, das Geschäft mit der Ware Tiere.
Unter der Rubrik Unter der Rubrik Media finden Sie eine ausführliche Videodokumentation über die Kaninchenhaltung in Deutschland. Diese wurde erst im Februar 2009 fertig gestellt. Weiterhin haben wir hier eine ausführliche Fotodokumenatition sowie diverse Fernsehbeiträge für Sie zusammengestellt.

John Negroponte John Negroponte Porträt John "Death Squad" Negroponte Link Liste der Nachrichtendienste auf wikipedia
Washington - US-Präsident George W. Bush hat am Donnerstag den US-Botschafter im Irak, John Negroponte, für den neu geschaffenen Posten des Direktors aller US-Geheimdienste nominiert. Mehr zum Thema Arbeit
Reduzieren Sie Ihren Arbeitsaufwand mit Microsoft Office System Reduzieren Sie Ihren Arbeitsaufwand mit Microsoft Office System Der als Überraschungskandidat geltende Negroponte steht damit allen 15 Geheimdiensten der USA vor, auch dem CIA. Er berichtet direkt an den Präsidenten, der künftig in einem täglichen Briefing über die Geheimdienstarbeit informiert wird. Negropontes Ernennung muss noch vom US-Senat bestätigt werden. Die Schaffung des Postens war eine zentrale Empfehlung der Kommission zur Untersuchung der Anschläge vom 11. September 2001. Der Geheimdienstdirektor könnte nun vor ähnlichen Anlaufschwierigkeiten stehen wie zuvor das Heimatschutzministerium. Auch diese in Reaktion auf den 11. September geschaffene Institution hatte die Arbeit mehrerer Regierungsbehörden kombinieren müssen. Der Posten des neuen Geheimdienstchefs ist allerdings auf Grund der Kritik von CIA und Pentagon nicht so machtvoll wie ursprünglich von Bush geplant. Er soll zwar dafür sorgen, dass die Geheimdienste nicht wie bisher konkurrieren, sondern stattdessen verstärkt Informationen austauschen. Aber seine Aufgaben dienen mehr der effizienten Koordination. Statt wie usrsprünglich vorgesehen das gesamte 40-Milliarden-Dollar Budget der Nachrichtendienste zu kontrollieren, werden es etwa 70 Prozent sein. Die restlichen 30 Prozent bleiben unter Kontrolle des Pentagon. Auch wird Negroponte nur sehr eingeschränkte Befugnisse bekommen, Personal und Gelder umzuschichten. (red/APA/Reuters)

'''Washington D.C. (USA), 18.02.2005''' - US-Präsident George W. Bush nominierte John Negroponte als neuen Direktor aller 15 US-Nachrichtendienste.
Dieser Posten wurde aufgrund einer Empfehlung der „Kommission zur Untersuchung der Anschläge vom 11. September 2001“ sowie einer danach vom Kongress verabschiedeten Reform der Geheimdienste neu geschaffen. Zentrale Aufgabe des Geheimdienstdirektors wird die Sicherstellung einer effizienten Koordination der verschiedenen Geheimdienste sein. Er soll dafür sorgen, dass diese nicht so stark konkurrieren wie bisher, sondern verstärkt Informationen austauschen. Der Direktor ist direkt dem US-Präsidenten unterstellt und wird diesen in einem täglichen Briefing über die Arbeit der Nachrichtendienste informieren.
„Der Verantwortungsbereich des Direktors ist einfach und anspruchsvoll. John wird sicherstellen, dass diejenigen, deren Aufgabe es ist, Amerika zu verteidigen, die Informationen bekommen, die wir brauchen, um die richtigen Entscheidungen zu treffen“, sagte Bush bei der Nominierung.
Negroponte, der als Überraschungskandidat gilt, war zuletzt als US-Botschafter in Bagdad / Irak tätig, nachdem er UN-Botschafter der USA gewesen war.

--- Bush schafft mit seiner Personalpolitik weiter Fakten, die Anlass zur Beunruhigung geben und jeglichem Herumgeeiere von wegen eines "softeren" Kurses in der 2. Amtszeit Hohn sprechen. Nach der Ernennung Gonzales' zum Justizminister und Chertoffs zum Innen-bzw. Heimatschutzminister hat der US-Präsident jetzt mit John Negroponte eine überaus umstrittene Person zum Chef der US-Geheimdienste (einem ganz neuen Posten mit reichlich Macht ) ernannt: I'm pleased to announce my decision to nominate Ambassador John Negroponte as Director of National Intelligence. The Director's responsibility is straightforward and demanding. John will make sure that those whose duty it is to defend America have the information we need to make the right decisions. John understands America's global intelligence needs because he spent the better part of his life in our foreign service, and is now serving with distinction in the sensitive post of our nation's first Ambassador to a free Iraq. John's nomination comes at an historic moment for our intelligence services. In the war against terrorists who target innocent civilians and continue to seek weapons of mass murder, intelligence is our first line of defense. If we're going to stop the terrorists before they strike, we must ensure that our intelligence agencies work as a single, unified enterprise. And that's why I supported, and Congress passed, reform legislation creating the job of Director of National Intelligence.Was ist faul an Negroponte? Dazu einige Sätze aus Telepolis : Negroponte war unter George W. Bush vornehmlich dafür verantwortlich, die Kriegsstrategie gegen den Irak in der UN durchzusetzen und dabei ständig vorzugeben, es würde dazu noch eine Alternative zu geben. ... Als Botschafter in Honduras war Negroponte in den 80er Jahren entscheidend dafür verantwortlich, heimlich die Contras in Nicaragua im Kampf gegen die linke Regierung zu unterstützen und dabei mit dem brutalen Militärregime in Honduras zusammen zu arbeiten. Angeblich wusste Negroponte nichts von den Menschenrechtsverletzungen, die von den Todesschwadronen des Regimes begangen wurden. Die wurden wiederum teilweise von der CIA ausgebildet, Foltern inklusive. Mehr kritische Töne zu Negroponte und seiner Machtstellung (er soll über das laut offiziellen Angaben 40 Milliarden Dollar umfassende Geheimdienstbudget verfügen) u.a. im Economist und in der Washington Post Update: Interessant, in diesem Zusammenhang die Ankündigung für Bushs Deutschlandbesuch nächste Woche zu lesen: Die erste Auslandsreise Präsident Bushs seit seiner Amtseinführung wird den politischen Willen des Präsidenten betonen, auf den gemeinsamen Werten von Freiheit, Demokratie und Menschenrechten aufzubauen und mit den europäischen Verbündeten und Partnern bei der Bewältigung der Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts eng zusammenzuarbeiten. Unglaublich.

Jay Adams, Venice surf and skate legend.
It was 80 degrees, the seas were calm and glassy, and a nice leftover south swell was gently rolling in. It was the kickoff to a three-day holiday weekend. But the vibe was bittersweet because a homie wasn't there to share it with his friends and loved ones.The crowd at Venice Pier on Saturday instead celebrated the life of skateboarder and surfer Jay Adams through testimonials and a memorial paddle-out. Adams died of a heart attack August 14. He was 53. The Venice legend, part of a skateboarding team made famous by the 2001 documentary, was on a surfing vacation in Mexico when he passed. At his paddle-out, so many people gathered that police seemed caught off-guard. Three cruisers from LAPD zipped to the pier to keep an eye on the leathery, tatted-up surfers crowding the beach in a cloud of marijuana smoke.Friends, some of whom came from as far away as Hawaii and Puerto Escondido, Mexico, said Adams had never been happier than in his last days, catching big Pacific waves with friends Solo Scott and Allen Sarlo, local surfing legends. Famous friends in the crowd or giving testimonials included Jeff Ho, Christian Hosoi, Shane Borland, Max Perlich, Dave Duncan, Steve Olson, Brian Cullen, Eric Tuma Britton and Cesario "Block" Montano.His grown son, Seven, said: "I'm happy he's in a good place ... but I miss him."Though Adams had a rough life, including stints in prison for drug-related crime, one speaker said he died "a Christian, sober man in love."Pastor and friend Sumo Sato said that in the end, "Jay made his path straight. He was right with God."Adams had moved to San Clemente, purchased a Toyota truck with which to chase waves and dedicated much of his time to Christianity, friends said. The one-time hell-raiser with tattoos on his face had become a missionary man.Still, he didn't hold back when he hit the waves. Adams, his friends said, would only be happy when the surf was, as he put it, "triple firing!" And friends said that was the case during his last session in Mexico. "He got a triple barrel!" Sarlo said.Josh "Bagel" Klassman said he grew up across the street from Adams and that, from the time he was a boy, he wanted to surf and skate like Adams and "emulate" his punk-rock, go-for-it attitude. But watching Adams' last years, he said, "Now I want to emulate him being happy."Added Solo Scott, "He was next to the love of his life. He surfed, he was sober, and he was next to loved ones."Allen Sarlo was choked up when he said that Adams had invited him to come down to Mexico to "celebrate that we're still here."Most of the speakers lamented that it was the second memorial paddle-out for a member of the famed Zephyr skate team in a month. Shogo Kubo died in June in Hawaii, found unresponsive in the water by surfers at a surf spot known as Seconds.Like others, skate star Christian Hosoi referred to Adams as "Jay Boy." He said the two had planned to travel and take Jesus' word to the surfing world. They wanted to "change people's lives," he said.The paddle-out, scheduled for 9 a.m., didn't happen until after 10 a.m., or "skater time," as one speaker put it. Dozens of surfers, some of whom admittedly hadn't been in the water in decades, headed out almost to the end of the pier. They formed a dense circle and placed a board covered in flowers in the middle.In an official nod to Adams, an L.A. County Lifeguard boat sprayed water on the surfers as they splashed and spread flowers into the Pacific.

JAY ADAMS MEMORIAL PADDLE OUT:
August 30, 2014, Venice Pier, Venice, CA
Photos by Dan Levy and Vanessa Davey
Words by Dan Levy
A cool zephyr wind calmly blankets the sacred grounds of Dogtown carrying with it the souls of our fallen warriors. It swirls through the hearts of our tribe and adds vigor to the day ahead. We know life doesn’t just hand us barrels and permission pools. Nobody rides for free. We pay for our freedom. Jay showed us that we earn our freedom with perseverance and constantly striving to be better.
It has been said that everyone just wanted a piece of Jay. Seeking absolution riding his surfboard and skateboard, he spent life basking in true freedom. That’s what everyone wanted. Purity. Through 100% dedication to his passion, Jay Boy showed us there is always another wave to take us somewhere new. He had a magical way about him as if he was tapped into the universe in a way that gave him the ability to see greatness in everyone and everything. This is the Jay we knew and loved. This is the Jay we will celebrate.

Crowd gathers at Live Oak beach to share memories of Jay Adams

LIVE OAK >> The cheering and smiling surfers forming a ring around Seven Adams out on the water at the 26th Avenue Beach on Sunday were as easily celebrating a life as saying goodbye to one.
Seven Adams, of Santa Cruz, had the help of more than 40 surfers in the water and at least another 55 on dry land as he and others said parting words about his father, iconic skateboarder and surfer Jay Adams.
Jay Adams, 53, a teenaged member of the 1970s surf-inspired Dogtown and Z-Boys skate team, passed away in his sleep from an apparent heart attack on Thursday. He was in the midst of a three-month surfing trip in Puerto Escondido, Mexico with his wife Tracy, friends said.
Samantha Baglioni, 45, of San Clemente said Jay Adams was "a beautiful man and an amazing human being.
Baglioni and Jay Adams, who met in Hawaii and later moved to Santa Cruz, are the parents of Seven Adams, who has a "huge hole in his heart" from his father's death.
"Not just to lose your father, but to lose Jay Adams as your father," Baglioni said. "Jay was just larger than life."
In the 2001 documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys," Jay Adams is the towheaded and angel-faced skateboarding prodigy with a rebellious streak. Later, he was portrayed by actor Emile Hirsh in the 2005 film "Lords of Dogtown." As the youngest member of the group that inspired a surf-style revolution in skateboarding technique, Adams went on to battle drug addiction and two stints in jail in his later years.
Baglioni said Jay Adams, who she described separately as a "tornado" and "Tasmanian devil," took his fame and troubles with the same humility. He made a point to avoid the "hoopla" and treat everyone, the "bum on the street or the chick in the Porsche," equally, Baglioni said.
"He did, obviously, you hear about him going to prison and doing drugs, but he was also someone who did it, he paid for it, and was someone who always made everything right," Baglioni said. "If he did wrong, he was the first to admit it. He didn't run from it. He was just 100 percent."
Looking on from the beach as the wetsuit-clad group splashed and whooped in the water, Nick Bautista, 37, remembered back to when Jay Adams, a friend of his older brother, lived for a time with his family in Santa Cruz. It had been years since the two friends had seen each other, Bautista said, but they kept in touch through Facebook.
"He was an innovator," Bautista said. "He was just a killer dude all around, ripping everything."
Bautista said a similar memorial paddle-out was scheduled for the same time as Santa Cruz's, in Jay Adams' hometown of Venice.
Steve Thatcher, 58, of Los Gatos, stood just down the beach, pointing out to where a whale had spouted water just beyond the ring of surfers.
Thatcher said he and Jay Adams competed in skateboard competitions — Northern California versus Southern California — in the 1970s and 1980s. Since that time, Thatcher kept track of his former competition through his brother, a former editor for the skateboarding magazine Thrasher.
"There's nobody who probably cemented the connection as well between surf and skate," Thatcher said. "(Jay's death) is really sad. But he lived hard. I can see how he would go early, because he always did things twice as hard as everyone else."
Baglioni said if Jay Adams had to go, she was glad it was now, instead of 10 years ago. He had the "women of his dreams" in his wife and daughter Venice, and had made amends for his wrongs, was "right" with Seven Adams, and generally "was so happy."

Jay Adams, a skateboarding pioneer and one of the original members of the Zephyr skate team, died in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, early Friday morning. He was 53.Adams' manager, Susan Ferris, says the Skateboarding Hall of Famer died of a heart attack. A full report from the Puerto Escondido medical examiner's office is pending.Adams had been on an extended surf vacation in Mexico with his wife and friends, including Solo Scott and Allen Sarlo. He had been surfing across the point earlier Thursday and came in feeling sick, then began having chest pains around midnight, according to Scott."His wife called us over in the middle of the night and we administered CPR until we could get an ambulance, and they kept working on him the whole way but he never revived," Scott told XGames.com."The important thing is he went out peacefully in his sleep, during the best surf trip of his life. He'd been down here for three months surfing every day, and he was in great shape and really good spirits. I've never seen him so happy and content and at peace."Adams was known for bringing his aggressive surf style to skateboarding, first on the sidewalks of Venice, California, and eventually into the area's empty backyard pools. He was the first to air above the lip in a pool on a skateboard and the first to try handplants and other tricks that since have become staples."I've had the good fortune of spending decades in this sport, and he was the purest form of skateboarder that I've ever seen," Stacy Peralta, another original member of the Z-Boys team and director of the documentary film "Dogtown and Z-Boys," told XGames.com. "He was literally skateboarding incarnate, and the genius of it was he wasn't the best at anything, he just was it. I've said before that he was the original virus that got so many people hooked on skateboarding. Now the original spore is gone, but that virus lives on in so many others. Jay's passing reminds all of us and reaffirms that we're connected. We're all rolling down the sidewalk together."Adams was the youngest member of the original Zephyr skate team when it first formed in 1975, according to Zephyr Surf Shop owner and co-founder Jeff Ho."I first met Jay in the water when he was a little kid on a borrowed surfboard, even before he was the little kid on a skateboard everybody's seen pictures of," Ho told XGames.com. "You could tell even then that he was something special. Once the first photos of what he was doing on a skateboard came out, he was an instant icon. He was so creative in his skating that he was just so, so far beyond his time. He lived his life the way he wanted to live it, and, you know, he was surfing some mean sick barrels at Puerto and getting great shots with the boys right up until just before he passed away, still doing what he wanted to do."Jim Muir, another member of the original Dogtown Z-Boys skate team, added: "Everyone involved in skateboarding needs to thank Jay for who he was and what he made our sport. He was one of a kind, and there will never be anyone else like him."Adams will be remembered as much for his sneer and for flipping off the camera as for his brazen skateboarding prowess. When skateboarding got competitive and corporate and some of his peers became celebrities, he mostly opted out."Wearing uniforms? That wasn't me," he wrote in an essay for "My Rules," a forthcoming book by photographer Glen E. Friedman.Friedman's first published image for Skateboarder Magazine was a shot of Adams airing above the lip in a pool for the first time. Adams was just 15 at the time; Friedman was 14. The image rocked the skateboarding world with new possibilities, even though Friedman admits Adams "was clearly not [landing the trick]."Even Adams' accidents could be inspirational."When you look at Jay, you have to think of the personification of all the Dogtown stories that Craig Stecyk wrote and all the Dogtown photos that I took: All we were trying to do was capture Jay Adams' essence," Friedman told XGames.com. "He was really f---ed up, and he was really incredibly great, all at the same time. For so many, he was the inspiration, he was the seed. He was one of the originators, and he didn't do any of it on purpose. He was as spontaneous as they come, and because of that he was one of the sport's great revolutionaries."Friedman shared an excerpt of Adams' "My Rules" essay with XGames.com:"I always skate for the love of it, the feeling that is like nothing else. Doing the thing I did, that some people after the fact look back and say it was so progressive and pushed the limits, that's cool but I wasn't thinking doing that. I just acted spontaneously and did stuff, see what happens and hope not to get hurt. I wouldn't think about it until afterwards, if at all. Style was a motivator at times, but honestly it just came naturally to me, and although it meant everything at times, who's to say the kook with horrible style isn't having more fun than you? Having fun is what really matters in the end, unless you're just out to impress others."

Jay Adams, an original member of the Z-Boys skate team whose low, sweeping, surf-like style profoundly influenced skateboarding but couldn't lift him from a path of addiction and prison, died of a heart attack in Mexico, TMZ reported Friday. He was 53.
Emile Hirsch played Adams as a feral, natural skater in The Lords of Dogtown, Catherine Hardwicke's 2005 film based on the Venice, California, skate scene where modern skateboarding began.

TMZ reported that Adams was with his wife on a three-month surf trip in Mexico when he was stricken Thursday. The celebrity news site also said he'd been sober for months.
Adams joined The Z-Boys in 1974 when they were still a surf team, but by 1975, with a serious drought leaving pools empty all around Southern California, they were riding a massive concrete wave of popularity for skating. Adams was the first to enter the Del Mar Nationals in '75, taking third for junior men's freestyle.
But internal tension over their exploding popularity and external sponsorship money soon found the Z-Boys soon going their separate ways. Adams (below, left, with fellow Z-Boy Tony Alva) followed their skateboard manufacturer, Zephyr, to a new team, and was the face of its Z-Flex deck; but a handful of years later, while many of his former teammates were about to cash in on a second swell of skateboarding interest nationwide, Adams' life took a dark turn.

In and out of legal trouble as he struggled with drug addiction, Adams spent significant time in prison for drugs and assault, lost much of his family and became addicted to heroin. Lords of Dogtown briefly won him some endorsement money during a brief time after his release, but he relapsed into drug addiction and went back to prison for orchestrating a methamphetamine deal.

TMZ said the Mexico trip was the first time he'd been allowed to leave the country in some 20 years.

To skateboarding aficionados, the late Jay Adams was known as the "original seed," one of the most influential skaters in history. But Adams, who died of an apparent heart attack at age 53 on Thursday, also transcended the world of skateboarding by way of the silver screen.
Growing up in a sketchy corner of Venice in the 1970s, Adams became one of the original members of the pioneering Zephyr skateboarding team whose story was chronicled in the documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys" in 2001 and the biopic "Lords of Dogtown" in 2005.
Directed by fellow Z-Boy Stacy Peralta, "Dogtown and Z-Boys" recounts how he, Adams and their pals helped put skateboarding on the map with stylish, fluid, surfing-inspired moves honed in the banked playgrounds and empty pools of drought-stricken Southern California.
"Dogtown" emerged as a breakout hit at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the audience and director's awards. The documentary opened to strong reviews (with a "92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes), grossed a solid $1.3 million at the domestic box office, and illuminated an intriguing but relatively unknown period of Los Angeles and sporting history.
As it has with subcultures from spelling bees to backup singers, the documentary format helped put skater culture on the map for a mainstream that might have forgotten or not known about it. In a measured but positive review for The Times, Kenneth Turan wrote, "'Dogtown' is at its dramatic best with mini-profiles of its two biggest names, Adams and [Tony] Alva. The Adams segment especially, which shows the most naturally gifted of the Z-Boys regretful about the bad choices he made in his life, provides the kind of thoughtful introspection this film could have used a lot more of."
Peralta would revisit the story of the Z-Boys as the screenwriter of "Lords of Dogtown," a narrative film directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Emile Hirsch gave a well-regarded performance as Adams, but unlike its documentary predecessor, "Lords" met with mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.
Shortly after Adams died, Hirsch tweeted: "We lost a true wild man with the passing of Jayboy. Jay Adams was a legend who will be missed."

'''27 grudnia Izrael, w odpowiedzi na decyzje Hamasu o nieprzedłużaniu zawieszenia broni oraz ostrzał terytorium Izraela rozpoczął ofensywę militarną w Strefie Gazy pod kryptonimem ''Płynny ołów''. Celem są dowódcy i infrastruktura palestyńskiego, radykalnego ugrupowania Hamas. Operacja objęła głównie Gazę oraz, w mniejszym stopniu, Chan Junis i Rafah. Według oficjalnych źródeł, izraelskich i palestyńskich, w wyniku izraelskiej operacji zginęło dotychczas około 800 Palestyńczyków, a ponad 3000 zostało rannych – głównie cywile. Z kolei po stronie izraelskiej dotychczas poległo 13 osób - 3 cywili i 10 żołnierzy. 43 cywilów, a także 95 żołnierzy Izraela odniosło rany podczas operacji lądowej, którą Izrael podjął 3 stycznia. Informacje o ofiarach potwierdzają służby ratownictwa medycznego i niezależni obserwatorzy.
Zobacz poprzedni raport z Operacji Płynny Ołów
Izraelski premier Ehud Olmert uznał ostatnią rezolucję Rady Bezpieczeństwa ONZ za niewykonalną, wspominając przy okazji o ostrzale rakietowym Izraela. Zdaniem Hamasu rezolucja nie odpowiada ani interesom tej organizacji, ani interesom narodu palestyńskiego.
Według wiceprzewodniczącego Biura Politycznego Hamasu Musy Abu Marzuka warunkami niezbędnymi do zawarcia rozejmu są: wstrzymanie agresji izraelskiej, zniesienie izolacji Strefy i otwarcie granicy z Egiptem oraz całkowite wycofanie wojsk izraelskich ze Strefy.
W swojej rezolucji Rada Bezpieczeństwa ONZ wezwała do całkowitego wycofania wojsk izraelskich ze Strefy Gazy, utworzenia korytarzy dla pomocy humanitarnej oraz potępienia aktów przemocy wobec ludności cywilnej zarówno izraelskiej, jak i palestyńskiej.
Izrael wprowadził w szabat blokadę Zachodniego Brzegu Jordanu.
Rankiem Palestyńczycy ze Strefy wystrzelili 4 rakiety typu Grad, które spadły na Beer Sheva. Ranny został jeden Izraelczyk. Palestyńczyk w Rehovot atakował siekierą Izraelczyków, których spotkał na ulicy. Po zaatakowaniu dwóch osób, został obezwładniony.
Między 13.00, a 16.00 Izrael wstrzymał działania wojenne, by do strefy walk mogły wjechać ciężarówki z żywnością i ambulansy. Pomimo deklarowanego zawieszenia broni, izraelski ostrzał nie został całkowicie zawieszony również w tym czasie. Strona palestyńska twierdzi, ze było to izraelskie posuniecie propagandowe, mające służyć polepszeniu wizerunku Izraela po tym, jak wojsko izraelskie zbombardowało szkołę ONZ, służącą za schronienie uchodźcom, zabijając ponad 40 z nich.
O godzinie o 15:40 czasu uniwersalny (GMT) izraelska rakieta uderzyła w budynek PressTV leżący w Strefie Gazy. W wyniku ataku, uszkodzona została część nadajników znajdujących się na dachu.

W swojej rezolucji Rada Bezpieczeństwa ONZ wezwała do całkowitego wycofania wojsk izraelskich ze Strefy Gazy, utworzenia korytarzy dla pomocy humanitarnej oraz potępienia aktów przemocy wobec ludności cywilnej zarówno izraelskiej, jak i palestyńskiej.

IMPAS W ROZMOWACH O ZAWIESZENIU BRONI
Rozmowy pokojowe prowadzone pod auspicjami Egiptu ugrzęzły. Nie ma zgody, co do sposobu zagwarantowania bezpieczeństwa na granicy Izraela ze Strefą Gazy.

Sprawa ma rozbijać się o sytuację przy południowej granicy Izraela. Kair - według europejskich dyplomatów - zgłosił sprzeciw wobec propozycji rozmieszczenia międzynarodowych sił na własnej, 14,5-metrowej granicy ze Strefą Gazy. W zamian otwiera drzwi dla wzmocnionej pomocy technicznej do walki z przemytem broni, która trafia do Hamasu. Tel Awiw na taką wersję układu pokojowego zgody nie wyraża.- Egipt byłby skłonny zaakceptować pomoc techniczną - powiedział Amos Gilad z izraelskiego ministerstwa obrony. Dodał przy tym, że jego kraj pozostaje głęboko sceptyczny, czy podjęcie takich środków wystarczy dla zagwarantowania bezpieczeństwa na południu Izraela.Wykluczone jest także - według dyplomatów - rozmieszczenie międzynarodowych sił po stronie Strefy Gazy. Na takie rozwiązanie miałby nie zgodzić się Hamas.Dotąd Turcja, druga co do wielkości armia w NATO, wyraziła wolę ewentualnego wysłania swoich żołnierzy w rejon konfliktu. Unia Europejska nie pali się do rozlokowania własnych sił wojskowych preferując - zdaniem europejskiego dyplomaty - "wysłanie pieniędzy i technogii".Piątek to 14 dzień izraelskiej operacji "Płynny Ołów" w Strefie Gazy, w której śmierć poniosło blisko 800 osób.jjb/el

Editor's note: Thursday night after this article was published, the PGA canceled the final three rounds of the Players Championship and all of its upcoming events until the Masters, which begin April 9.
There was a fundamental change in the United States’s approach to the coronavirus Thursday. It explains why we began with most men’s basketball conference tournaments being played and ended with the NCAA tournament canceled. Follow the change and you can see why baseball closed spring training complexes and why the PGA Tour should stop its signature event, the Players Championship, immediately.
We began the day thinking about doctor-recommended safety measures. We ended it in what you might call an emergency of our national state of mind. Suddenly, limiting large gatherings and washing our hands a bunch wasn’t enough; the nation, collectively, got terrified, and ultimately that will be for the best.
How did this affect sports? Well, when we were just worried about following doctor’s orders, it made sense to hold the NCAA tournaments in near-empty arenas. Those would be small gatherings with limited person-to-person exposure. Closing the arenas was a huge, proactive measure. Remember: As of Tuesday, almost nobody was willing to do it.
But we are beyond that now. The country finally realized: We not only have no idea how big this pandemic will become, we have no idea how big it is right now. We have conducted so few tests that any stat about the number of cases in this country is essentially bogus.
Imagine somebody saying the Lakers have won 12 games this season, then admitting they only watched the first month. Would you consider that a real stat? That’s what is happening with coronavirus. We’re not testing enough, so we don’t know what the real numbers are. But we can assume they are exponentially higher than what has been reported.
This creates fear, as it should. Once Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell contracted the coronavirus, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went into self-imposed isolation, and Ohio's department of health estimated more than 100,000 Ohioans have the virus, we had to admit: This is probably everywhere in North America already. Asking students to participate in the very sport that Gobert and Mitchell play felt outrageous.
And so university leaders around the country decided they couldn’t be cautious enough. They canceled pretty much everything, so quickly that it was hard to keep track of which dominoes fell first.
There was no more cost-benefit analysis, no more studying of doctor’s orders. It was just: cancel, cancel, cancel. A few days ago, NCAA tournaments felt too big to cancel. But now there was the urge to do as much as we could, for peace of mind as much as anything. Whatever you do, don’t go halfway.
This is what happened outside of sports, too. Ohio governor Mike DeWine, who has distinguished himself as much as any politician during this crisis, closed schools for the whole state. Other states followed. Soon virtually all schools in the country may be closed. Broadway is shut down. Disneyland is closed. Concert tours have been canceled or will be soon.
So now it’s not just about following doctor’s orders. The United States of America has paused everyday life.
In that environment, you just can’t hold a major sporting event. You look insensitive and oblivious, and you embarrass yourself. The NBA and NHL and MLB all get that now. In two or three weeks, they will hopefully know how widespread COVID-19 is, and if the nation has calmed down. Then they can revisit their plans.
This is why the PGA Tour should do the only sensible thing and halt the Players Championship. All week, the Tour has been the last sports organization to find a clue – the entire first round Thursday was played in front of spectators.
The Tour finally announced Thursday that it would play without spectators starting Friday, and for the foreseeable future … and that would be fine if we were all just following doctor’s orders. Unlike basketball players, golfers don’t have to touch each other. They don’t use each other’s equipment. They can and usually do travel in very small parties. If there are no spectators, the best golfers in the world can practice proper social-distancing and play four rounds of golf.
But doing that now is like bringing your birthday cake to a funeral. It is unseemly. Reluctantly and too late, the country has decided that the coronavirus is our top priority, and now there are so many tests to distribute and people to quarantine, and it just feels wrong to have anybody fist-pumping after making a 20-foot putt.
Golf tournaments are just not that hard to reschedule. The Tour could finish the Players in a few months. If Augusta National says the Masters is now scheduled for October, then guess what? Tiger and friends will still show up. We will still watch.
This year’s NCAA tournaments, sadly, are lost forever. That is a greater loss than a potentially canceled NBA or NHL season, because the best players in those sports get paid very well and have long careers. College basketball players get, at most, four cracks at a lifetime memory. Thursday was a terrible day for them, one they will never forget. Nobody wanted to see this. But everybody should understand why it happened.

The NCAA will not crown a men's or women's basketball champion in 2020.
Conceding defeat to the COVID-19 virus and a cascade of uncertainty about how bad its ongoing spread might impact public health across the United States, the NCAA announced Thursday all its winter and spring championships have been canceled after a series of moves across multiple sports leagues that foreshadowed the eventual arrival at this decision.
"Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships," a statement from the NCAA said. "This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.
This is the first time a men's champion will not be decided since NCAA postseason play began in 1939, and a first for women since the NCAA took over that tournament in 1981-1982.
Gonzaga men's basketball coach Mark Few was being interviewed on ESPN when the decision was announced. The Bulldogs were expected to be a No. 1 seed when the field was revealed Sunday.
“Extremely, extremely disappointed,” Few said. “I think all of us felt we could postpone, and even postpone into May and if we needed to cancel we could cancel then. But if that’s what they are dong that is what they are doing.”
HEARTBROKEN:College basketball coaches react to tournament cancellation
Shortly after the NCAA's announcement, the Big Ten announced plans to cancel all spring sports and a moratorium on all on- and off-campus recruiting activities for the foreseeable future.
"The Big Ten Conference will use this time to work with the appropriate medical experts and institutional leadership to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic," a statement from the league said.
"The main priority of the Big Ten Conference continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, fans and media as we continue to monitor all developing and relevant information on the COVID-19 virus."
The Big 12 said all regular season games, recruiting both on and off campus and out-of-season practices are suspended until March 29.
The decision by the NCAA came swiftly as teams early in the week preparing to play in conference tournaments across the country ahead of the tournament selection announcement.
Hours after Emmert announced Wednesday that the NCAA tournament games would be held without fans in attendance, the NBA suspended operations after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell was later confirmed as positive, too.
At various points on Wednesday following the NCAA's initial announcement, the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Pac 12, Big 12, American Athletic Conference and several others announced their tournaments would go on with only essential personnel in the arena.
But the NBA's decision followed by the disturbing optics of Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg coaching while ill during the Big Ten tournament started a domino effect of cancelled conference tourneys that led to the NCAA abandoning its initial plan and canceling the postseason.
Though Hoiberg was released from an Indianapolis hospital, according to a social media post from his son, the Nebraska team was kept in its locker room at Bankers Life FieldHouse due to the potential of a positive COVID-19 test.
“Please let it be known that I would never do anything that would put my team, family or anyone else in harm's way,” Hoiberg wrote on Twitter after it was revealed he was suffering from the flu and not the coronavirus.
That situation raised the question of how the NCAA would manage any potential threat with 68 teams in the men's tournament and 64 in the women's event should a player or coach be suspected of contracting the virus.
The decision was made more inevitable when every major conference tournament was cancelled Thursday, including the ACC, Big Ten and Big East.
The 68-team bracket for the men's tournament was to be announced Sunday with play-in games beginning Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio. The women's field was to be announced Monday.
