After examining the video game sales from August, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter has issued his own NPD report reviewing the month. Overall, he was surprised by just how strong August turned out to be. "August overall retail sales were much higher than our expectations. One surprise was stronger than expected contribution from Madden NFL, with dollar sales upside accounting for over half of the difference between the actual NPD sales figure and our estimate," he said. "With relatively strong sales so far in 2007 and the publishers delivering solid results in the June quarter, we are beginning to see signs that the industry is on solid footing, and investor confidence has returned." In a separate report, simExchange analyst Jesse Divnich noted, "It is common to see a slowdown in software sales the month before a major release like Halo 3. Industry professionals often call this 'the calm before the storm.' This wasn't the case this year... These results reinforce the notion that the video game industry is on track for record sales this Holiday season, which are further indicated by the current pricing of futures contracts on the simExchange." Speaking of Halo 3, Pachter stressed the importance of the blockbuster title, predicting that it will sell more than 3 million units in less than two weeks and will drive Microsoft's Xbox 360 hardware numbers in September past 400,000 units, which would be the highest non-holiday figure in a month for Xbox 360 since launch. Divnich is expecting slightly lower, but still solid numbers for 360 at 380K units for September. Nevertheless, going by simExchange's forecast, the Xbox 360 will outsell the PS3 in September by over 2 to 1. While things are looking up for Microsoft, the dip in PS3 sales is somewhat concerning. "Trading of futures contracts on the simExchange predicted that the recent PS3 price cut would not build long-term momentum for unit sales. Actual August sales data from NPD Group indicate the drop in PS3 demand was even worse than the market expected," said Divnich. "Trading of the September and October PS3 contracts imply that the gap between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 is expected to continue to widen. As stated in previous reports, Sony's must make the PS3 more compelling to consumers. The only option they can execute quickly enough would be a hardware price cut. An announcement of a PS3 hardware price cut will propel the September and October PS3 futures to a more competitive level against the forecasts for the Xbox 360." Indeed, Pachter said that rumors about a 40GB PS3 price at $399 in time for this holiday and a $99 PS2 "have merit." Furthermore, with Kaz Hirai keynoting next week's Tokyo Game Show, Pachter said he "cannot think of a better forum for making such an announcement, given that the event is less than a week before the launch of archrival Microsoft's Halo 3." Another concern that some of the analysts shared was the competitiveness of third-party titles on the Wii. While Nintendo repeatedly stresses the importance of third parties, it's clear that it's first-party games that are dominating. UBS analyst Ben Schachter said in his report: "Interestingly, neither of the two Wii-exclusives released by third-party publishers in our coverage universe sold particularly well, indicating just how difficult it is to develop compelling games to compete with Nintendo's core franchises. ERTS's Boogie sold 68k units while TTWO's Carnival sold just 29k units in August. As we've noted in the past, we see the strength of first-party publishers (particularly Nintendo) as a key risk to the third-party publishers." Added Divnich: "The prediction market expected both of Electronic Arts' sports offerings for the Wii to under perform their counterparts for the other platforms. The market continues to imply that Wii consumers prefer Nintendo published titles for the Wii over third-party ports like Madden NFL 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, even if the ported version includes functions that take advantage of the Wii's control system. Historical prediction market data for Nintendo published original Wii titles have always been expected to sell more than ported titles that were available on other console units. Currently, the prediction market is expecting Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii to outsell any other Wii title that is available on another major platform." Divnich said that according to simExchange the Wii is expected to sell more than 500K units in September, which is notable since there is no major first-party software release for the console in September.

The Xbox 360 is starting to sell strong in America.
The latest console data from the NPD Group shows that Microsoft's Xbox 360 console outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 by a ratio of 2 to 1. Earlier in August, Microsoft reduced the price of their console to try and compete with their other main competitor, Nintendo with their Wii console. However, the Nintendo platform is still selling strong with the Wii and the DS taking the top 2 spots once again.
Sales are also expected to increase for Microsoft in the month of September due to the release of Halo 3, the final game in the Halo trilogy. Michael Patcher, an analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities, has predicted that the game will sell three million copies in the first 12 days of release.
The big surge in software sales lead to almost US$1 billion spent in the gaming industry in America for the month of August. Even with the software surge,
all consoles had fewer sales than the previous month apart from Microsoft.
Below are the full results provided by NPD:

Following a fantastic July in which the U.S. game industry posted over $925 million in sales, growth was even better in August. Total sales reached $993 million, an increase of more than 46 percent. Year-to-date the industry now stands at $8.02 billion, tracking ahead of last year by 43 percent. In August video game hardware continued to soar, up over 94 percent to $384 million. Console hardware in particular grew 152 percent to $302 million, while portable hardware climbed only 5.5 percent. Unsurprisingly, the Wii was once again tops with 403.6K units, beating out the DS, which sold 383.3K units. As was somewhat expected following the price cuts, Microsoft's Xbox 360 saw a nice jump in sales as it rose from 170K in July to 276.7K in August. Meanwhile, the PS3 actually dropped from 159K to 130.6K in August. Rounding out the PlayStation platforms, the PS2 sold 202K units and the PSP sold 151.2K. Factoring these August numbers in gives us life-to-date totals in the U.S. as follows: PS2: 39.1 million
PS3: 1.75 million
PSP: 8.3 million
Xbox 360: 6.3 million
Wii: 4 million
NDS: 12.7 million As for software, the industry had a great month, driven by EA's Madden, which sold upwards of 1.9 million copies on the PS2, 360 and PS3 platforms alone. Take-Two's BioShock also did quite well, selling almost half a million. Overall software sales rose 22.5 percent to $488 million. Console software sales were up over 25 percent and accounted for $393 million of that total. Portable software meanwhile grew 11.9 percent. Finally, the accessories sector grew 47 percent to $121 million. Here are the top 20 games of August (ranked by units, which NPD only provided for the top 10): Madden NFL 08—360—EA—896.6K Madden NFL 08—PS2—EA—643.6K BioShock—360—Take-TwoEA—490.9K Madden NFL 08—PS3—EA—336.2K Wii Play/ w remote—Wii—Nintendo—256.8K Metroid Prime 3: Corruption—Wii—Nintendo—218.1K Mario Strikers Charged—Wii—Nintendo—147.4K Guitar Hero 2 w/guitar—PS2—Activision—145.4K Mario Party 8—Wii—Nintendo—138.3K Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s—PS2—Activision—127.1K Madden NFL 08—Xbox—EA Madden NFL 08—Wii—EA Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day—DS—Nintendo Two Worlds—360—Southpeak Interactive Pokemon Diamond—DS—Nintendo High School Musical: Making the Cut—DS—Disney Interactive Guitar Hero 2 w/guitar—360—Activision Madden NFL 08—PSP—EA Pokemon Pearl—DS—Nintendo Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08—360—EA Page two: insightful commentary from NPD industry analyst Anita Frazier CONTINUED ON PAGE 2...

Space Adventures porozumiała się z Federalną Agencją Kosmiczną i firmą Energia w sprawie zakupienia 3 miejsc w statkach Sojuz, lecących do Międzynarodowej Stacji Kosmicznej po 2013 roku.
Komercyjna sprzedaż miejsc w Sojuzach jest możliwa dzięki zwiększeniu liczby produkowanych statków, z 4 do 5 rocznie. Pobyt na ISS będzie krótszy. Pozwoli to także wywozić do Stacji więcej ładunków użytecznych.
Space Adventures odpowiada za loty dotychczasowych siedmiu turystów kosmicznych. W 2001 roku zorganizowała lot Dennisa Tity, pierwszego turysty kosmicznego w historii. Po nim polecieli:
Mark Shuttleworth (2002)
Gregory Olsen (2005)
Anousheh Ansari (2006)
Charles Simonyi (2007 i 2009)
Richard Garriott (2008)
Guy Laliberte (2009)
Wszystkie trzy strony porozumienia były zadowolone z wyników rozmów. Rozmowy o wznowieniu lotów trwały przynajmniej od września 2010.
W październiku zeszłego roku Space Adventures podpisała także umowę o dystrybucji komercyjnych miejsc cywilnych w planowanych przez Boeinga kapsułach CTS-100.

Space Adventures Concludes Agreement to Offer Commercial Spaceflight Opportunities to the International Space Station
Three seats available beginning in 2013
January 12 2011
Space Adventures, the only company that has provided human space mission opportunities to the world marketplace, announced today the conclusion of an agreement with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation (FSA) and Rocket Space Corporation Energia (RSC Energia) to commercially offer three seats on the Soyuz spacecraft bound for the International Space Station (ISS), beginning in 2013.
These seats will be made available through the increase of Soyuz production, from four to five spacecraft per year. Each flight will be short duration, approximately 10 days, and will contribute to the increase of launch capacity to the ISS.
"We are extremely excited to announce this agreement and would like to thank our Russian partners in increasing Soyuz production and providing Space Adventures these well sought-after transportation services on the only commercially available manned spacecraft currently in operation," said Eric Anderson, Chairman of Space Adventures. "Since Guy Laliberte's mission, there has been an increase of interest by private individuals, organizations and commercial entities seeking ways to access the space station. We have been speaking with these parties about science, education and multi-media programs and hope to make some major announcements in the coming year."
Space Adventures became world-renowned 10 years ago with the launch of Dennis Tito, the world's first privately-funded space explorer. Since then, the company has arranged seven additional missions to the ISS. Cumulatively, our clients have spent almost three months in space, traveling over 36 million miles, and have been true ambassadors in sharing their experience and explaining to millions of people around the world why it's important to explore space," continued Mr. Anderson.
"We are very pleased to continue space tourism with Space Adventures. Also, the addition of a fifth Soyuz spacecraft to the current manifest will add flexibility and redundancy to our ISS transportation capabilities. We welcome the opportunity to increase our efforts to meet the public demand for access to space," said Alexei Krasnov, Director of Human Spaceflight of FSA.
In support of the continued partnership between FSA, Energia and Space Adventures, Vitaly Lopota, President of RSC Energia, commented, "We were first in the space tourism marketplace and we are glad to expand our capabilities by adding a fifth Soyuz and to use these three additional opportunities for commercial flight participants, starting in 2013."
Space Adventures, the company that organized the flights for the world's first private space explorers, is headquartered in Vienna, Va. with an office in Moscow. It offers a variety of programs such as the availability today for spaceflight missions to the International Space Station and around the moon, Zero-Gravity flights, cosmonaut training, spaceflight qualification programs and reservations on future suborbital spacecraft. The company's advisory board includes Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, Shuttle astronauts Sam Durrance, Tom Jones, Byron Lichtenberg, Norm Thagard, Kathy Thornton, Pierre Thuot, Charles Walker, and Skylab/Shuttle astronaut Owen Garriott.

Military helicopters have been used to fight the fires
Dozens of new fires continue to break out. Large swathes of Greece have been ravaged by the inferno since Friday.
Water-bombing aircraft from France, Italy and Canada are in action, with more international aid expected.
Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympics, was in danger on Sunday, but firefighters managed to keep it safe.
Culture Minister George Voulgarakis went to Olympia, in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece, to oversee the emergency effort.
"All the people, the firefighters, the policemen, the volunteers, they fought with the fire and the museum is as it was."
The fires have gutted hundreds of homes, forcing thousands of villagers to flee and blackening hillsides.
The BBC's Dominic Hughes on the island of Evia, northeast of Athens, says several massive fires are burning in the thickly wooded hills and hot, dry winds are fanning the flames. On Sunday five bodies were found on the island.
Thousands of Greek firefighters are being supported by 20 water-bombing planes and 19 helicopters. At least 11 countries are helping Greece fight the fires with planes, helicopters and specialist firefighters.
Suspected arsonists
Nikos Diamandis, a Greek fire department spokesman, told the Associated Press news agency: "Fires are burning in more than half the country. This is definitely an unprecedented disaster for Greece."
The hill of Kronos, overlooking Olympia, was engulfed by fire
In pictures: Greek inferno
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has declared a nationwide state of emergency.
The reward, put up by the Greek government, is for anyone providing information which leads to the arrest of an arsonist.
"The reward is set between 100,000 and 1m euros for every [act] of arson, depending on whether death or serious injury occurred and the size of the damage," a Greek government statement said.
The fires could have been started as a way of getting around Greek law which forbids development on areas designated as forest land.
At ancient Olympia, flames licked the edges of the original Olympic stadium and scorched the yard of the museum, home to one of Greece's greatest archaeological collections.
Athens itself was shrouded in smoke that obscured the sun as several fires threatened the city's outskirts.
Peloponnese worst hit
The rapidly advancing fires caught many people unaware. Those who left the decision to flee too late were caught in their houses, cars, or as they stumbled through olive groves.
At least 39 people were reported to have been killed in the worst affected region, around the town of Zaharo in the western Peloponnese, by a fire that broke out on Friday and quickly spread.
Another four bodies were discovered in the central Peloponnese region of Arcadia.
A 65-year-old man has been charged with arson and murder relating to a fire which killed six people in Areopolis, in the far south of Greece.
Two youths were also detained on suspicion of arson in the northern city of Kavala.

Fires continue to burn in Greece on Monday destroying everything in their path. Death toll has exceeded 60 with daily Greek newspapers ''Kathimerini'' and ''Ta Nea'' reporting 61 and 63 deaths respectively. Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympics, was also threatened but firefighters kept the site safe. The new museum of Olympia was saved in the last minute but part of the ancient stadium was not spared.
The Greek Government has offered a €1 million reward for anyone providing information which leads to the arrest of an arsonist. A Greek government statement read: "The reward is set between 100,000 and 1m euros for every act of arson, depending on whether death or serious injury occurred and the size of the damage."
==Government Criticism==
The Greek government is under severe criticism for not doing enough to combat the raging fires. Greek newspaper ''Ta Nea'' is reporting that the government is facing collapse accusing it of lacking an organized plan to combat the fires. It adds that there are tens of reports resulting from witnesses that demonstrate the ad hoc movement of fire fighting forces but also tragically, an absence of a plan for evacuating villages resulting in the unnecessarily increased death toll.
==Foreign Help==
Emergency workers and fire-fighting planes from other European Union countries have joined the battle against the fires, and more help is expected from countries outside the EU.

"AHORA NADIE INVESTIGA LA CORRUPCIÓN" El fiscal Garrido, atado de pies y manos El fiscal de Investigaciones Administrativas fue desplazado por la Procuraduría General de la Nación de los casos Skanska, Miceli, INDEC y Jaime. Damián Glanz.
Por Damián Glanz 08.11.2008

Hay impunidad y ya no queda ningún órgano especializado que investigue hechos de corrupción en la Argentina. El fiscal de investigaciones administrativas, Manuel Garrido, reaccionó ayer con dureza contra la resolución del Procurador General de la Nación, Esteban Righi, que limitó drásticamente las funciones de su fiscalía. Y contraatacó: Todavía puedo iniciar denuncias. Y voy a terminar los 300 expedientes que tenemos iniciados. Ahí hay muchos funcionarios que nunca fueron denunciados, sostuvo ante Crítica de la Argentina.
La decisión de Righi de restringir la capacidad de la Fiscalía de Investigaciones Administrativas para actuar en aquellas causas que no fueron iniciadas por el equipo de Garrido provocó el rechazo unánime de la oposición y de las organizaciones que se ocupan de la transparencia de las políticas públicas. Y la interpretación fue una sola: el Gobierno quiere cerrar los expedientes donde se acusa a sus funcionarios de actos de corrupción. En cinco años, Garrido impulsó o reactivó unas cincuenta denuncias penales contra secretarios de Estado, empresarios amigos del poder, ministros y contra el propio matrimonio presidencial. La decisión de Righi provocará el archivo inmediato de la mayoría de esos expedientes.
¿Cree que la decisión del Procurador apuntó exclusivamente a paralizar sus denuncias?
Habría que preguntárselo a él.
¿Y cómo interpretó la resolución?
Nosotros, desde la FIA, veníamos pidiéndole que interpretara la norma para que le pusiera coto a algunos de los fiscales que entorpecían nuestras denuncias. En especial, al fiscal general ante la Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Criminal y Correccional Federal, Germán Moldes. Pero, claramente, Righi no interpretó la ley como lo venía haciendo hasta ahora.
¿Tuvo que ver con la investigación sobre enriquecimiento ilícito del ex presidente Kirchner y la Presidenta?
Hay muchísimas causas que son de envergadura. No creo que haya sido por una sola.
Cuando estuvo al frente de la Oficina Anticorrupción, también le limitaban su trabajo.
Sí. Me decían que me estaba arrogando funciones de la FIA. Ahora queda claro que no se puede investigar. La consecuencia de la resolución es que desde ahora no exista un órgano especializado para perseguir este tipo de delitos. Y eso va en contra del artículo 26 de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Corrupción. La Argentina adhirió a ese tratado internacional. Y no lo hizo en otra era: lo ratificó Kirchner en el 2006. Hay impunidad.
La historia que desembocó en la resolución de Righi comenzó hace poco más de un año. El propio Garrido le había pedido al procurador general que interpretara un inciso de la Ley Orgánica del Ministerio Público que generaba permanentes controversias con algunos fiscales del fuero federal que se mostraban reacios a seguir las líneas de investigación propuestas por la FIA. Específicamente, Garrido se había quejado de que el fiscal general Germán Moldes perseguía hipótesis contrarias a las se desprendían de las pruebas de una causa sobre irregularidades en la renegociación del contrato con Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. Righi terminó la discusión y dictaminó que es el fiscal común y no la FIA quien lleva adelante las investigaciones.
¿De qué servirá la FIA a partir de ahora?
No podremos seguir una causa que no iniciemos. O si olfatean que estamos en algo, pueden mandar a cualquiera a hacer una denuncia y así inhiben nuestro trabajo para siempre. Pero todavía puedo iniciar denuncias. Y voy a terminar los 300 expedientes que tenemos iniciados. Ahí hay muchos funcionarios que nunca fueron denunciados.
En la FIA ya están pensando en reabrir el quincho de la terraza que fue construido en la década de 1990, cuando esa oficina estaba a cargo de Néstor Pinzón y en el edificio de la calle Perón al 2455 se hacían más asados que expedientes. Incluso, bromean con armar una pileta Pelopincho: el verano todavía no llegó, pero la investigación contra la corrupción ya está de vacaciones.

jj 0 años | Si Garrido es radical a mi no me interesa, no podemos negar que lo que está investigando no está inventado, todos sabemos que Jaime es un ladrón, igual qeu los KK y muchos otros. Ayer miraba CQC y la presidenta daba verguenza ajena haciéndose la linda con los noteros y diciendo cosas sin sentido como que el triunfo de Obama demostraba que el país había cambiado "frente a los 20 o 30 años" pasados de discriinación a los negros en las cosechas de algodón..... osea que hablaba de los años 1988 o 1978, no estará un poquito equivocada???
Cesar 48 años | señores esta asosiacion delictiva o desprecio de las leyes viene de una interna peronista desde hace largo tiempo. Peronistas del 40, 70, 90 y cada vez peor menem con duhalde, duhalde con kirchner contra menem, kirchner contra duhalde, y saben que en medio vos, yo, el pais, se prestan los ministros, los jueces, y siguen. Nadie va en cana, nadie devuelve el dinero que se roban. PERFECCIONAN LAS LEYES PARA DELINQUIR. El dinero que se roban de los trabajadores los hace a ellos empresarios, comerciantes etc, y todos son los mismos aunque digan ser diferentes Radicales y Peronistas.

"Hay impunidad y ya no queda ningún órgano especializado que investigue hechos de corrupción en la Argentina", sentenció el titular de la Fiscalía de Investigaciones Administrativas (FIA), Manuel Garrido. El Procurador general de la Nación, Esteban Righi, limitó las funciones de la FIA, que se encarga de investigar delitos que cometieron funcionarios públicos.
Según la resolución de Righi, la FIA debe dejar de intervenir de forma directa en los casos que no hayan sido iniciados por la entidad. Asimismo, en las causas que comenzaron por la fiscalía de Garrido, sólo participará cuando el fiscal del caso decidiera no continuar la investigación.
El fiscal afirmó que la decisión "va en contra del artículo 26 de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Corrupción" y resaltó: "La Argentina adhirió a ese tratado internacional. Y no lo hizo en otra era, lo ratificó Kirchner en el 2006".
"No podremos seguir una causa que no iniciemos –dijo Garrido–. O si olfatean que estamos en algo, pueden mandar a cualquiera a hacer una denuncia y así inhiben nuestro trabajo para siempre, pero todavía puedo iniciar denuncias. Voy a terminar los 300 expedientes que tenemos iniciados. Ahí hay muchos funcionarios que nunca fueron denunciados."
Por otro lado, en la Procaduría General, de defendieron e indicaron: "Lo que está pidiendo Righi es que Garrido y los fiscales federales, que son los fiscales naturales de las distintas causas, coordinen una estrategia de trabajo en común". Además, afirmaron que Garrido podrá "coayudar" con los fiscales aportando pruebas.
Con la decisión de Righi, el fiscal no podrá seguir investigando los presuntos sobornos que la constructora sueca Skanska pagó al secretario de Obras Públicas y el director del Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas (Enargás). Tampoco podrá intervenir en el caso de las manipulaciones del gobierno a los índices del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC).
Otros casos al que el fiscal no tendrá acceso serán la valija con dinero perteneciente a la ex ministra de Economía Felisa Miceli y el supuesto enriquecimiento ilícito del ex presidente del país, Néstor Kirchner.

El titular de la Fiscalía de Investigaciones Administrativas denunció que, por la medida de Righi, dejará de existir un organismo "independiente y especializado" en perseguir delitos cometidos por funcionarios públicos; exigió que que actúe el Congreso
siguiente Noticias de Política anterior
La polémica por la resolución del Procurador general de la Nación, Esteban Righi, que ayer acotó las facultades de la Fiscalía de Investigaciones Administrativas (FIA), organismo creado por ley para investigar los delitos de los funcionarios públicos nacionales, se profundiza con el paso de las horas.Esta mañana, el titular de la FIA, Manuel Garrido, principal damnificado por la resolución de la que LA NACION da cuenta en su edición de hoy, redobló sus críticas a la decisión de Righi y alertó sobre los efectos negativos que podría tener en la investigación de casos de corrupción en el futuro.Incumplimiento. "Evidentemente hay problemas, hay impunidad, no hay sentencias y la cuestión sobre las facultades de la fiscalía pasa a sumarse a esta serie de problemas que evidencian que la Argentina no está cumpliendo con las obligaciones que tiene en materia de investigación de la corrupción", arremetió el representante del Ministerio Público en declaraciones a radio Continental.Puntualmente, la resolución de Righi hace una interpretación estricta del concepto de "intervención necesaria" que la ley del Ministerio Público le confiere a la FIA, a cargo de Garrido desde hace cinco años, y establece que ya no tendrá intervención directa en causas que no se hayan iniciado por su denuncia. Además, en las que sí hubieran comenzado por su iniciativa (son la minoría) sólo podrá asumir la acción penal cuando el fiscal del caso resuelva no seguir adelante.Lectura. "La interpretación de que la fiscalía no está especializada en la investigación de la corrupción, que es lo que surge de la resolución del Procurador, viene a poner sobre el tapete que no hay ningún organismo independiente especializado en investigar y en perseguir la corrupción", alertó Garrido.En la misma línea, planteó que la persecución de presuntas actividades delictivas de funcionarios públicos "es una de las cosas que la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Corrupción le exige a los países que son parte y la Argentina es parte".En este punto, el fiscal reclamó la intervención del Congreso en la discusión "Tendría que hacerse cargo de regular adecuadamente en esta materia.

Desde la Procaduría General, en tanto, voceros consultados por lanacion.com insistieron en que el fallo de Righi no apunta a reducir el margen de acción de Garrido, sino a corregir "rispideces" entre el representante de la FIA y los fiscales federales."Lo que está pidiendo Righi es que Garrido y los fiscales federales, que son los fiscales naturales de las distintas causas, coordinen una estrategia de trabajo en común", indicaron.Además, remarcaron que, aún tras la resolución de Righi, Garrido podrá "coadyudar" a los fiscales titulares con la presentación de pruebas.No obstante, esa posibilidad quedará reducida a las causas originadas por él mismo y no aquellas que hayan comenzado por decisión de otro fiscal.En la mira.

"Hay impunidad y ya no queda ningún órgano especializado que investigue hechos de corrupción en la Argentina", sentenció el titular de la Fiscalía de Investigaciones Administrativas (FIA), Manuel Garrido. El Procurador general de la Nación, Esteban Righi, limitó las funciones de la FIA, que se encarga de investigar delitos que cometieron funcionarios públicos.
Según la resolución de Righi, la FIA debe dejar de intervenir de forma directa en los casos que no hayan sido iniciados por la entidad. Asimismo, en las causas que comenzaron por la fiscalía de Garrido, sólo participará cuando el fiscal del caso decidiera no continuar la investigación.
El fiscal afirmó que la decisión "va en contra del artículo 26 de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Corrupción" y resaltó: "La Argentina adhirió a ese tratado internacional. Y no lo hizo en otra era, lo ratificó Kirchner en el 2006".
"No podremos seguir una causa que no iniciemos –dijo Garrido–. O si olfatean que estamos en algo, pueden mandar a cualquiera a hacer una denuncia y así inhiben nuestro trabajo para siempre, pero todavía puedo iniciar denuncias. Voy a terminar los 300 expedientes que tenemos iniciados. Ahí hay muchos funcionarios que nunca fueron denunciados."
Por otro lado, en la Procaduría General, de defendieron e indicaron: "Lo que está pidiendo Righi es que Garrido y los fiscales federales, que son los fiscales naturales de las distintas causas, coordinen una estrategia de trabajo en común". Además, afirmaron que Garrido podrá "coayudar" con los fiscales aportando pruebas.
Con la decisión de Righi, el fiscal no podrá seguir investigando los presuntos sobornos que la constructora sueca Skanska pagó al secretario de Obras Públicas y el director del Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas (Enargás). Tampoco podrá intervenir en el caso de las manipulaciones del gobierno a los índices del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC).
Otros casos al que el fiscal no tendrá acceso serán la valija con dinero perteneciente a la ex ministra de Economía Felisa Miceli y el supuesto enriquecimiento ilícito del ex presidente del país, Néstor Kirchner.

D
as Millionenspiel Champions League ist für die früheren Meistercup-Gewinner Bayern München, Real Madrid und FC Liverpool diesmal schon im Achtelfinale beendet.
Zum dritten Mal in den vergangenen zehn Jahren findet das Viertelfinale der Champions League ohne deutsche Beteiligung statt. Einen Tag nach dem unglücklichen k.o. von Werder Bremen bei Juventus Turin schied am Mittwoch auch der FC Bayern München im Achtelfinale der europäischen Königsklasse aus. Der Rekordmeister kassierte beim AC Mailand eine auch in dieser Höhe verdiente 1:4 (1:2)-Niederlage und verpasste damit nach dem 1:1 im Hinspiel den Einzug in die Runde der letzten Acht. Zuletzt hatte sich die Bundesliga in der Saison 2003/04 im Viertelfinale mit der Zuschauerrolle begnügen müssen.
Bayern vorgeführt
Vor 78 577 Zuschauern im Guiseppe-Meazza-Stadion wurde die Elf von Trainer Felix Magath in der Anfangsphase von den Gastgebern regelrecht vorgeführt. Nach acht Minuten traf Filippo Inzaghi per Kopf zum 1:0, nachdem Martin Demichelis im Aufbauspiel einen kapitalen Fehlpass produziert hatte. Nach nur 25 Minuten war die Partie so gut wie entschieden, als Andriy Shevchenko wiederum per Kopf das 2:0 markierte. Eine Minute zuvor hatte der Ukrainer noch einen von Valérien Ismaël an Inzaghi verschuldeten Foulelfmeter verschossen.
Die Rossoneri wiegten sich in Sicherheit, ließen die Bayern kommen und brachten die Münchner damit kurzzeitig zurück ins Spiel. Einen Freistoß von Bastian Schweinsteiger ließ Keeper Dida abprallen, Ismael verkürzte auf 1:2 (35.). Urplötzlich zeigten die Bayern wieder Einsatz und Leidenschaft, doch statt des erhofften Aufbäumens in Durchgang zwei kam nur 180 Sekunden nach dem Wiederanpfiff der endgültige k.o.-Schlag, als Inzaghi (47.) einen Fehler von Bixente Lizarazu mit dem 3:1 bestrafte. Zehn Minuten später machte Kaka (59.) nach einem Konter alles klar.
Ein Deutscher im Viertelfinale
Immerhin steht mit Jens Lehmann von Arsenal London zumindest ein deutscher Nationalspieler im Viertelfinale. Gegen Real Madrid genügte den Gunners nach dem 1:0-Sieg im Hinspiel ein torloses Unentschieden zum Weiterkommen. Vor 38 500 Zuschauern im Highbury Park hatte der spanische Rekordmeister vor allem nach der Pause einige gute Gelegenheiten. Die beste vergab traf Raul (60.), der aber nur den Pfosten traf. Auch die Gastgeber verbuchten durch Jose Antonio Reyes (43.) einen Lattentreffer.
Olympique Lyon setzte sich derweil ohne Probleme gegen PSV Eindhoven durch. Der französische Meister gewann nach dem 1:0-Sieg in den Niederlanden das Rückspiel mit 4:0 (2:0). Vor 42 000 Zuschauern im ausverkauften Municipal de Gerland brachte der Portugiese Tiago (26./45.) die Elf von Gerard Houllier auf die Siegerstraße. Sylvain Wiltord (71.) und Fred (90.) zeichneten für den 4:0-Endstand verantwortlich. Eindhoven musste nach einer Gelb-Roten Karte für Phillip Cocu (43.) lange Zeit mit nur zehn Mann auskommen.
Liverpool ausgeschieden
Ausgeschieden ist dagegen der FC Liverpool. Der Titelverteidiger kassierten vor 42 000 Zuschauer an der Anfield Road eine 0:2 (0:1)-Heimniederlage gegen Benfica Lissabon. Schon das Hinspiel hatte die Mannschaft von Rafael Benitez in Portugal mit 0:1 verloren. Zunächst überlistete Simao (36.) Liverpools Torhüter Jose Manuel Reina mit einem feinen Schlenzer aus 20 Metern in den Winkel. Fabrizio Miccoli (89.) markierte den 2:0-Endstand.
Bremen hatte sich am Dienstagabend in Turin erhobenen Hauptes aus der Champions League verabschiedet. In einer packenden Partie war der Außenseiter dem Topfavoriten Juventus mehr als ebenbürtig und durfte nach dem 3:2-Sieg im Hinspiel und dem frühen Treffer von Johan Micoud (13.) auch lange Zeit vom größten sportlichen Erfolg seit dem Gewinn des Europapokals der Pokalsieger 1992 träumen. Ein Aussetzer des ansonsten überragend haltenden Tim Wiese ermöglichte dem Brasilianer Emerson aber in der 88. Minute den Siegtreffer und den Italiener das Weiterkommen.
Spanischen Primera División
Ebenfalls am Dienstag hatten sich mit dem FC Barcelona und FC Villarreal zwei Vertreter der spanischen Primera División für die Runde der letzten Acht qualifiziert. Barca revanchierte sich dabei gegen den englischen Meister FC Chelsea für das unglückliche Ausscheiden im Vorjahr. Nach dem 2:1-Erfolg in London reichte der Elf von Trainer Frank Rijkaard im Rückspiel ein 1:1 (0:0)-Unentschieden. Auch Villarreal erreichte mit einem 1:1 (0:1) gegen die Glasgow Rangers das Viertelfinale, nachdem in Schottland ein 2:2 erkämpft hatte.
Erst am kommenden Dienstag (14. März) kommt es dagegen zum Rückspiel zwischen Inter Mailand und Ajax Amsterdam (2:2), weil im Mailänder Guiseppe Meazza-Stadion binnen 24 Stunden keine zwei Champions-League-Heimspiele stattfinden dürfen.

Mehr zum Thema Gute Gelegenheit?
Felix Magath wollte bei seinen deutschen Nationalspielern mit der Chance zur Wiedergutmachung für das Debakel von Florenz eine extra Portion Motivation herauskitzeln und bot Bastian Schweinsteiger statt des zuletzt überzeugenden Zé Roberto im Mittelfeld neben Michael Ballack und Sebastian Deisler auf. "Das ist eine gute Gelegenheit, die Dinge zurecht zu rücken", sagte Magath. Doch es kam ganz anders.
Inzaghi, der bei Mailand den Vorzug vor Florenz-Torschütze Alberto Gilardino erhalten hatte, machte seinem Ruf als Bayern-Schreck alle Ehre und köpfte nach einem fatalen Fehlpass von Martin Demichelis unbedrängt zur frühen Führung ein. Dass er dabei knapp im Abseits stand, half den Münchnern nicht. Schon 2002 hatte der Stürmer mit drei Tore in zwei Spielen gegen die Münchner maßgeblich zu deren damaligen Vorrunden-Aus beigetragen.

Die Bayern reagierten geschockt. Ein Kuller-Schuss von Schweinsteiger (16.) war alles, was sie in der Anfangsphase zu Stande brachten. Ismael brachte kurz darauf Inzaghi ungeschickt zu Fall. Schwetschenko schoss den fälligen Strafstoß allerdings links am Tor vorbei. Keine 90 Sekunden später machte es der Ukrainer besser. Per Kopfball war er nach einer weiteren Defensiv-Nachlässigkeit mit dem 2:0 zur Stelle.
Nun sah es schon nach einem Debakel für die Bayern aus.

Besiegte: Ballack (li.) und Kahn nach dem Spiel
Foto: Reuters Als die Münchner ins Stadion einliefen, hatten sie nur die besten Erinnerungen an San Siro dabei. Ebendort hatten sie vor knapp fünf Jahren die Champions League gewonnen, und es hat kaum ein Spielerstatement gegeben, in dem nicht diese Erinnerung beschworen wurde, frei nach dem Motto: Hier haben wir schon mal was Großes gewonnen, dieses Stadion mag uns. Vielleicht ist es aber so, dass auch Stadien ihre Vorlieben ändern können: Fest steht, dass die Bayern von sofort an auch viele schlechte Erinnerungen an San Siro haben werden.
1:4 (1:2) unterlagen erschreckend schwache Münchner dem AC Mailand im Rückspiel des Champions-League-Achtelfinales, und am Ende trug das Spiel gar Züge einer Demütigung. Wir sind alle maßlos enttäuscht", sagte später ein niedergeschlagener Felix Magath, der in seinem Frust auch wieder höhere Mächte verantwortlich machte, wie schon im Hinspiel, als er heftig über den umstrittenen Elfmeter zum 1:1 geklagt hatte. Das 1:0 war für mich ein klares Abseitstor, und dadurch kamen wir genau in die Situation, die wir vermeiden wollten."
Ob die Bayern es irgendwie doch geahnt hatten? Jedenfalls begannen sie in ihrem geliebten Stadion, als hätten sie Angst vor einem bösen Geist, wobei dieser Geist irgendwo in der Nähe des Mittelkreises wohnen musste.
Bildstrecke: AC Mailand - FC Bayern München
Gerade dort, wo Fußballspiele organisiert werden, schlichen die Münchner umher, als fürchteten sie eine unheilvolle Begegnung; Gennaro Gattuso, Mailands Grätschenkönig, können sie damit nicht gemeint haben, der war gesperrt. Völlig temperamentlos starteten die Bayern in diese Partie, ganz anders als im Hinspiel.
Da hatten sie mit Physis und Präsenz beeindruckt, und wer den Unterschied zur ersten Partie erfassen wollte, musste nur Martin Demichelis betrachten: Vor zwei Wochen hatte er sich schneidig in die Zweikämpfe gestürzt, nun reihte er einen Fehlpass an den nächsten. Es sah aus, als habe Trainer Magath seine Spieler mit einer speziellen Taktik auf den Rasen geschickt: Spielt so viele Fehlpässe wie ihr könnt, das verwirrt die Mailänder! So war das aber eher nicht gemeint. Zwar hatte Magath seine Spieler vor der Konterstärke der Italiener gewarnt, aber kontrollieren hätten sie das Spiel schon dürfen.

Des émissions localisées et intermittentes de vapeur d'eau ont été détectées pour la première fois autour de Cérès, le plus grand objet de la ceinture principale d'astéroïdes située entre les orbites de Mars et Jupiter.
Ces observations, publiées mercredi par la revue Nature, ont été réalisées entre novembre 2011 et mars 2013 grâce à Herschel, le puissant télescope infrarouge européen désactivé en juin dernier après quatre années de service.
Cérès relâche de la vapeur d'eau à raison de 6 kg par seconde, a établi l'équipe internationale d'astronomes conduite par Michael Küppers, du Centre d'astronomie spatiale européen (ESAC) de l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA).
«Cest la première détection véritable de vapeur d'eau autour d'un astéroïde», a souligné auprès de l'AFP un des auteurs de l'étude, Dominique Bockelée-Morvan (Observatoire de Paris/CNRS).
Découverte en 1801 par Giuseppe Piazzi, Cérès a une forme sphérique avec un diamètre de 960 km. Les scientifiques pensent qu'elle est formée d'un noyau rocheux entouré d'un manteau de glace.
Depuis plus de 30 ans, ils soupçonnent que l'eau est un de ses composants significatifs, mais c'est la première fois que des molécules d'eau sont identifiées directement, s'échappant de sa surface sous forme gazeuse.
Les astronomes ont pu déterminer que l'eau était éjectée par deux sources bien localisées, comme deux «geysers géants», précise le CNRS dans un communiqué.
Selon l'équipe de Michael Küppers, l'évaporation d'eau pourrait avoir deux causes. Il s'agirait soit d'un phénomène de «sublimation» - la transformation de la glace directement en vapeur -, comme on peut l'observer lorsqu'une comète se rapproche du Soleil. Soit d'un phénomène de «cryovolcanisme», lorsque des volcans de glace éjectent non pas de la lave, mais des éléments volatiles comme de l'eau.
Brassage entre astéroïdes et comètes
Toutefois, les astronomes ont observé que la vapeur d'eau n'est émise que lorsque Cérès, dont l'orbite n'est pas parfaitement circulaire, est au plus près du Soleil. «On s'attend à moins d'effets saisonniers s'agissant du cryovolcanisme», explique Dominique Bockelée-Morvan.
«Si l'eau provient d'une sublimation cométaire, c'est la démonstration que l'activité de sublimation de l'eau n'est pas limitée aux comètes classiques, mais est aussi présente dans la ceinture d'astéroïdes», affirment les astronomes.
«On avait déjà plusieurs indices sur le fait que les comètes et les astéroïdes ne sont pas si différents que ça», précise Dominique Bockelée-Morvan.
La présence d'eau sur Cérès «a de fortes implications sur notre conception générale de l'origine de l'eau dans le Système solaire, et sur la Terre en particulier», souligne le CNRS.
Elle serait en accord avec les derniers modèles d'évolution du Système solaire, selon lesquels la migration des planètes aurait engendré un brassage entre astéroïdes et comètes, laissant la ceinture principale actuelle, entre les orbites de Mars et Jupiter, composée d'une multitude de corps divers.
Cette migration aurait aussi placé de nombreux objets riches en eau sur des orbites croisant l'orbite de la Terre, lui apportant l'eau de ses océans.
Cérès est le premier astéroïde découvert et le plus grand corps céleste de la ceinture principale d'astéroïdes. Depuis 2006, Cérès est aussi officiellement classée «planète naine», comme Pluton : c'est la plus petite planète naine connue du Système solaire.
Avec l'astéroïde Vesta, autre grand corps de la ceinture principale d'astéroïdes, Cérès constitue un des deux objectifs de la sonde américaine Dawn lancée en 2007. Cette mission de la NASA a passé 12 mois en orbite autour de Vesta qu'elle a quittée en septembre 2012 pour se diriger vers Cérès. Elle devrait atteindre la planète naine en février 2015 et permettre de mieux comprendre l'origine de ses geysers de vapeur.

La découverte de deux geysers par le télescope spatial européen Herschel trahit la présence de glace souterraine sur le plus gros corps de la ceinture d'astéroïdes située entre Mars et Jupiter.
La «ligne des glaces» vient de voler en éclats. Cette frontière marquait la limite théorique en deçà de laquelle on ne devait pas trouver de glace sur un corps dépourvu d'atmosphère dans le Système solaire. Elle se situait juste derrière la ceinture d'astéroïdes coincée entre les orbites de Mars et de Jupiter. Une équipe internationale vient pourtant de découvrir que le plus gros des cailloux primitifs situés sur le bord intérieur de cette ceinture, Cérès, 950 km de diamètre, parfois considéré comme une planète naine, abritait des réservoirs d'eau glacée enfouis sous sa surface rocheuse.
«C'est la première fois que nous pouvons dire avec certitude qu'un astéroïde abrite de la glace», se félicite Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, astronome au Lesia de l'Observatoire de Paris et coauteur de l'étude parue jeudi dans Nature. De précédentes observations laissaient certes penser que deux autres astéroïdes, Thémis 24 et Cybèle 65, étaient également recouverts de glace, mais les chercheurs n'étaient pas formels. De simples minéraux hydratés auraient également pu expliquer leurs résultats. «Cette fois-ci, il n'y a aucun doute, assure la chercheuse. La lumière réfléchie par Cérès est absorbée en deux endroits par un composé qui ne peut être que de la vapeur d'eau.»
C'est le télescope spatial européen Herschel qui a permis de mesurer les signatures lumineuses caractéristiques de ces deux geysers qui trahissent la présence de glaces souterraines. Le mécanisme à l'origine des jets de vapeur n'est toutefois pas très clair. S'agit-il d'éruptions de cryovolcans, de poches de glace liquéfiée sous pression? «Mais d'où viendrait alors l'énergie qui fait fondre la glace?», s'interroge Dominique Bockelée-Morvan. La discussion reste grande ouverte. La mission spatiale Dawn de la Nasa, qui doit se placer en orbite autour de Cérès en 2015, apportera peut-être des réponses à ces questions.
Migrations planétaires
Pour l'instant, la découverte de glace astéroïdale permet d'ores et déjà d'effacer la distinction historique que l'on faisait entre astéroïdes - petits corps rocheux - et comètes - petits corps glacés. «Il y a en fait un vrai continuum entre ces deux familles, note Antonella Barucci, coauteur et collègue de Dominique Bockelée-Morvan. Cela renforce considérablement les modèles récents de formation du Système solaire.»
Le paradigme selon lequel les planètes solaires se sont nécessairement formées sur leur orbite actuelle n'a en effet pas résisté aux premières observations dans la Voie lactée de géantes gazeuses orbitant très près de leur étoile. Pourquoi Jupiter, Saturne, Neptune ou Uranus ne se seraient-elles pas aussi formées sur une orbite proche avant de s'éloigner peu à peu du Soleil? Ce scénario prévoit justement que les processus de migrations planétaires «mélangent» les cailloux «secs», formés près du Soleil, et les cailloux «humides», périphériques. Qu'un astéroïde sans glace comme Vesta, situé sur la même orbite que Cérès, soit aussi différent, ne pose donc plus aucun problème théorique. La fin du déterminisme orbital en somme.

The ‘snowline’ conventionally divides Solar System objects into dry bodies, ranging out to the main asteroid belt, and icy bodies beyond the belt. Models suggest that some of the icy bodies may have migrated into the asteroid belt1. Recent observations indicate the presence of water ice on the surface of some asteroids2,3,4, with sublimation5 a potential reason for the dust activity observed on others. Hydrated minerals have been found6,7,8 on the surface of the largest object in the asteroid belt, the dwarf planet (1) Ceres, which is thought to be differentiated into a silicate core with an icy mantle9,10,11. The presence of water vapour around Ceres was suggested by a marginal detection of the photodissociation product of water, hydroxyl (ref. 12), but could not be confirmed by later, more sensitive observations13. Here we report the detection of water vapour around Ceres, with at least 1026 molecules being produced per second, originating from localized sources that seem to be linked to mid-latitude regions on the surface14,15. The water evaporation could be due to comet-like sublimation or to cryo-volcanism, in which volcanoes erupt volatiles such as water instead of molten rocks.

Der Mammutprozess geht nach einer Unterbrechung auf sein Ende zu: Wegen des Streits um die Aufzeichnung des Schlussplädoyers der Bundesanwaltschaft wurde der Prozess vertagt. Die Beweisaufnahme wurde für beendet erklärt. Alles über den Prozesstag im Ticker von FOCUS Online.
Im NSU-Prozess ist Beweisaufnahme zu Ende, nun folgen Plädoyers
Bundesanwaltschaft wollte mit ihrem Schlussvortrag beginnen
Forderung von Verteidigern sorgte für Verschiebung
Beate Zschäpe und vier Männer sind angeklagt
Zschäpe droht lebenslange Haft wegen Mittäterschaft an NSU-Morden
Das Wichtigste in Kürze: Das mit Spannung erwartete Plädoyer der Bundesanwaltschaft verzögert sich. Grund ist die Forderung der Verteidiger der Angeklagten in dem Verfahren, das Plädoyer für eine bessere Verständlichkeit aufzuzeichnen. Nach einer mehrstündigen Auseinandersetzung darüber vertagte der Vorsitzende Richter Manfred Götzl das Verfahren am vergangenen Mittwoch. Am Dienstag nun geht der Streit weiter. Die Anwälte der Angeklagten Beate Zschäpe und Ralf Wohlleben hatten eine Audioaufzeichnung des Plädoyers oder hilfsweise eine stenografische Mitschrift beantragt, um dieses angesichts des Umfangs leichter nachvollziehen zu können. Das Gericht lehnte dies ursprünglich ab, gegen diese Entscheidung wehrten sich die Verteidiger aber mit einer neuerlichen Erklärung. Ihre Mandanten seien nicht in der Lage, dem langen Vortrag ausreichend zu folgen, argumentierten die Verteidiger.
Bundesanwaltschaft fordert Verurteilung Zschäpes als Mittäterin
12.56 Uhr: Die Bundesanwaltschaft fordert eine Verurteilung der mutmaßlichen Rechtsterroristin Beate Zschäpe als Mittäterin an allen Morden und Anschlägen des „Nationalsozialistischen Untergrunds“. Bundesanwalt Herbert Diemer sagte zum Beginn der Plädoyers am Dienstag im Münchner NSU-Prozess, die Anklagevorwürfe gegen Zschäpe und die vier Mitangeklagten hätten sich in allen wesentlichen Punkten bestätigt. Sollte das Oberlandesgericht in seinem Urteil dieser Argumentation folgen, droht Zschäpe lebenslange Haft wegen Mordes.
Diemer bezeichnete Zschäpe als Mitgründerin und Mitglied einer terroristischen Vereinigung. Als Mittäterin habe sie gemeinsam mit ihren Freunden Uwe Mundlos und Uwe Böhnhardt neun Menschen türkischer oder griechischer Herkunft ermordet, einen tödlichen Anschlag auf Polizeibeamte sowie einen Bombenanschlag auf das Geschäft einer iranischen Familie in Köln verübt und ebenfalls in Köln eine Nagelbombe mit großer Sprengkraft zur Explosion gebracht. Darüber hinaus habe Zschäpe gemeinsam mit Mundlos und Böhnhardt schwere Raubüberfälle verübt und nach dem Tod der beiden die letzte gemeinsame Wohnung des NSU in Zwickau in Brand gesteckt.
Die Anklage argumentiert, Zschäpe sei entgegen ihrer eigenen Aussage gleichberechtigtes Mitglied des NSU und in die Logistik der Taten arbeitsteilig eingebunden gewesen. „Die Täter, Hoher Senat, waren Uwe Böhnhardt, Uwe Mundlos und Beate Zschäpe“, sagte Diemer.
Diemer bezeichnete die Verbrechen des NSU als die „heftigsten und infamsten“ Terroranschläge seit der linksextremen Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF). „Motiv für all diese Verbrechen war rechtsextremistische Ideologie.“ Das Ziel sei ein „ausländerfreies“ Land gewesen, sagte Diemer. Die Bundesrepublik habe in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert werden sollen. Der NSU habe versucht, einem „widerwärtigen Naziregime den Boden zu bereiten“. Die Opfer seien nur wegen ihrer ausländischen Herkunft „hingerichtet“ worden, weil sie in den Augen Zschäpes und ihrer beiden Komplizen in Deutschland nichts zu suchen gehabt hätten. Sämtliche Opfer seien „willkürlich herausgegriffen“ worden, sagte der Bundesanwalt.
Plädoyers beginnen
11.57 Uhr: Jetzt also doch: Im NSU-Prozess können die mit Spannung erwarteten Plädoyers beginnen. Die Verteidiger zweier Angeklagter verzichteten am Dienstag auf neue Befangenheitsanträge. Daraufhin schloss der Vorsitzende Richter Manfred Götzl erneut die Beweisaufnahme und erteilte der Bundesanwaltschaft das Wort. Um 12 Uhr wollte Bundesanwalt Herbert Diemer den voraussichtlich 22 Stunden langen Schlussvortrag beginnen.
10.20 Uhr: Die Plädoyers verzögern sich weiter: Das Münchner Oberlandesgericht lehnte am Dienstag erneut den Wunsch einer Reihe von Verteidigern ab, den Schlussvortrag der Bundesanwaltschaft auf Tonband aufzuzeichnen. Zudem wies das Gericht die Forderung zurück, das Plädoyer alternativ mitstenografieren zu lassen oder das Redemanuskript der Ankläger an die Verfahrensbeteiligten aushändigen zu lassen. "Im deutschen Strafprozess herrscht das Prinzip der Mündlichkeit", sagte der Vorsitzende Richter Manfred Götzl unter anderem zur Begründung. Die Anwälte zweier Angeklagter beantragten daraufhin eine Unterbrechung bis 11.30 Uhr, um über einen möglichen Befangenheitsantrag zu beraten. Solche Anträge wurden wiederholt abgelehnt. Ein erneuter Versuch würde jedoch das Plädoyer weiter verzögern.
Streit um Plädoyer-Mitschnitt geht weiter
Dienstag, 25. Juli, 08.46 Uhr: Im NSU-Prozess gegen Beate Zschäpe und vier mitangeklagte mutmaßliche Terrorhelfer geht am Dienstag der Streit um das Plädoyer der Bundesanwaltschaft weiter. Die Verteidiger Zschäpes und drei weiterer Angeklagter hatten sich gegen einen Beschluss des Gerichts gewandt, der die Tonaufzeichnung des Plädoyers verbietet. Die Verteidiger hatten geltend gemacht, ihre Mandanten könnten dem voraussichtlich 22 Stunden langen Schlussvortrag nicht ohne Hilfsmittel folgen.
Über eine "Gegenvorstellung" der Verteidiger hat das Gericht vergangene Woche noch nicht entschieden, sondern die Sitzung nach stundenlangem Streit auf diesen Dienstag vertagt. Die Bundesanwaltschaft hatte sich vehement gegen eine Aufzeichnung ausgesprochen, das Gericht war ihr dabei gefolgt.
Davor hatte der Vorsitzende Richter Manfred Götzl die Beweisaufnahme für beendet erklärt. Zschäpe hatte fast 14 Jahre mit den beiden Terroristen Uwe Mundlos und Uwe Böhnhardt im Untergrund gelebt. Während dieser Zeit haben die beiden Männer nach Überzeugung der Anklage zehn Menschen ermordet, neun von ihnen aus Fremdenhass. Zschäpe ist für alle Verbrechen des "Nationalsozialistischen Untergrunds" als Mittäterin angeklagt.

Wie einige Medien seit kurzem berichten, will das hessische Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz (LfV) offenbar einen internen Bericht zum Mordkomplex NSU 120 Jahre lang unter Verschluss halten. In den Jahren 2012 bis 2014 wurde der Bericht von 250 Seiten Umfang erstellt. Einblick erhalten nur Mitglieder des hessischen NSU-Untersuchungsausschusses im Geheimschutzraum unter Aufsicht und ohne Schreibzeug. Vom Text selbst sei aber schon über der Hälfte geschwärzt. Auskunft über den Inhalt der geschwärzten Stellen wiederum dürfen nur die hessischen Landtagsabgeordneten bekommen, die Mitglied des Untersuchungsausschusses sind, und zwar in Absprache mit dem LfV.

Er wurde insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Ermordung des 21jährigen Halit Yozgat als Verdächtiger festgenommen und verhört, da er sich zum Tatzeitpunkt am 6. April 2006 in unmittelbarer Nähe aufhielt. Angeblich war ihm nichts aufgefallen. 2015 wurde öffentlich bekannt, dass Temme 2006 vorab über den geplanten Mord an Halit Yozgat informiert worden war.

Interview Grünen-Politiker: "Die Koalition verschleiert ihr Versagen"
Der Grünen-Fraktionsvize Konstantin von Notz wirft Union und SPD in der Innenpolitik Fehler vor. Warum er ein Jamaika-Bündnis einer Großen Koalition vorzieht. Von Michael Pohl
Herr von Notz, Sie sind Vize-Fraktionschef der Grünen im Bundestag. Zehn Wochen vor der Bundestagswahl schwächelt Ihre Partei in den Umfragen zwischen sechseinhalb und neun Prozent. Dringen Sie mit Ihren Themen nicht durch?
Konstantin von Notz: Ich will jetzt nicht das für Politiker typische Spiel spielen, dass man gute Zahlen mit Freude kommentiert und schlechte Zahlen als wenig aussagekräftig relativiert. Aber man sollte auch nicht die Vergangenheit verklären, als ob wir immer mit Spitzenwerten verwöhnt wurden: Mit ähnlichen Werten sind wir 1998 mit 6,7 Prozent und 2002 mit 8,6 jeweils in die Bundesregierung gewählt worden. Und heute sind die Grünen an zehn von 16 Landesregierungen beteiligt. In Schleswig-Holstein haben wir gerade 13 Prozent geholt. Und ich hoffe, dass der Bundestagswahlkampf insgesamt in den kommenden Wochen noch an Dynamik gewinnt.
ANZEIGE
Dennoch spielen die typisch grünen Themen im Wahlkampf bislang keine entscheidende Rolle. Stattdessen ist nach den G20-Krawallen wieder die Sicherheitsdebatte aufgeflammt.
von Notz: Die Debatte um Rechtsstaatlichkeit, vor allem auch im digitalen Zeitalter ist ein großes grünes Thema. Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Freiheit sind ein flüchtiges Gut. Das sehen wir derzeit in der Türkei, in Polen und Ungarn. Dass es beim G20-Gipfel zu unerträglichen Gewaltexzessen gekommen ist, muss man klar verurteilen. Man sollte aber nicht bei jeder Gesetzesüberschreitung gleich nach einer Verschärfung der Gesetze oder einer Änderung des Grundgesetzes rufen, wie es üblicherweise die CSU und inzwischen auch die Linke populistisch tun. Der G20-Gipfel war eine Bundesveranstaltung, die auch vom BKA, Bundespolizei und dem Bundesverfassungsschutz in Verantwortung des Bundesinnenministeriums vorbereitet wurde. Und im Innenausschuss des Bundestags wurde uns auf mehrfache Nachfragen vor dem Gipfel versichert, dass alles im Vorfeld unternommen wurde, um Krawalle zu verhindern. Wir haben alles auf dem Zettel, hieß es. Das war wohl eine krasse Fehleinschätzung.
Sind die Krawalle von Hamburg ein Fall für einen Untersuchungsausschuss?
von Notz: Untersuchungsausschuss ist ein großes Wort, das man gelassen ausspricht. In Wirklichkeit sind solche Ausschüsse gerade für eine kleine Oppositionspartei gegen eine Große Koalition ein Arbeits-Tsunami biblischen Ausmaßes. Wir hatten in dieser Periode fünf Untersuchungsausschüsse: Zum NSA-Skandal, zur Edathy-Affäre, zum Behördenversagen beim NSU-Terror, zum Cum/Ex-Steuerbetrug und zur Abgasaffäre. Und wir erleben dort meist dasselbe, wie bei unseren Anfragen im Parlament: Die Große Koalition wiegelt ab, beschwichtigt, verzögert oder versucht alles Unangenehme als Geheime Verschlusssache zu verschleiern. Die NSU-Akten in Hessen wurden jetzt für 120 Jahre zur Geheimsache erklärt. 120 Jahre! Da fragt man sich: Wo leben wir denn eigentlich? Statt Analyse und Aufklärung betreibt die Große Koalition in der Sicherheitspolitik vor allem Symbolpolitik – auch um eigenes Versagen zu verschleiern.
Wo liegt Ihrer Meinung nach denn das Versagen in der Sicherheitspolitik?
von Notz: Betrachten wir den Fall Anis Amri: Hätte die Öffentlichkeit schon kurz nach dessen Attentat auf den Berliner Weihnachtsmarkt von all den Pannen und Versäumnissen der Behörden erfahren, hätte CDU-Bundesinnenminister Thomas de Maizière sicher zurücktreten müssen. Stattdessen wurde wieder einmal nur über schärfere Gesetze diskutiert. Doch die bestehenden waren im Fall Amri völlig ausreichend: Er hätte lange vor dem Anschlag verhaftet und abgeschoben werden müssen. Selbst der marokkanische Geheimdienst hatte rechtzeitig ausdrücklich davor gewarnt, dass Amri einen Anschlag plane - und nichts ist passiert. Stattdessen erleben wir den Skandal, dass im Berliner LKA Akten offenbar vorsätzlich gefälscht werden und hören immer nur den Ruf nach schärferen Gesetzen und Klagen über Datenschutz.
Die Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus hat aber stark zugenommen und auch in anderen Bereichen sinkt das Sicherheitsgefühl in Teilen der Bevölkerung. Ist da die Reaktion der Bundesregierung nicht zwingend notwendig?
von Notz: Die terroristische Bedrohung ist gestiegen. Die Frage ist, wie reagieren die Demokratie und der Rechtsstaat effektiv darauf? Ist es ein schlüssiges Konzept, aus Angst vor Terrorismus gerade die Freiheitsrechte abzubauen, die die Terroristen ja bekämpfen? Nein. Ich möchte nicht in einer Form des permanenten Ausnahmezustands leben, wie ihn jetzt in Frankreich Präsident Emmanuel Macron in das Gesetz schreiben will. Wir müssen Polizei und Ermittlungsbehörden in die Lage versetzen, dass eklatante Fehler wie im Fall Amri nicht passieren können. Aber es bringt nichts, wenn Unionspolitiker nach Anschlägen nach der elektronischen Fußfessel oder einem Burkaverbot rufen. Und was das subjektive Sicherheitsgefühl angeht, sollte keiner vergessen, dass das Innenministerium seit zwölf Jahren in Hand der Union ist und jahrelang beim Personal gespart wurde.
In Ihrem Heimatland Schleswig-Holstein regiert Ihre Partei seit wenigen Wochen in einer Jamaika-Koalition mit Union und FDP. Wäre das für Sie auch ein Modell für den Bund?
von Notz: Ich kann nur sagen, dass es in Schleswig-Holstein bislang gut läuft. Die Alternative wäre eine Große Koalition gewesen. Und die finde ich - ehrlich gesagt - ätzend: Wir haben in den vergangenen vier Jahren im Bundestag wirklich einen Niedergang der parlamentarischen Sitten erlebt. Die Große Koalition hat über 180 Stimmen mehr als die erforderliche Mehrheit. Da muss keiner mehr um Mehrheiten kämpfen, selbst wenn es mal dreißig, vierzig Abweichler in den eigenen Reihen gibt. Die Frage nach der Wahl wird sein, ob die großen Parteien nicht einfach diesen Weg weiter gehen wollen, nicht etwa weil es gut fürs Land wäre, sondern weil es so bequem ist.
Zur Person: Konstantin von Notz ist Vize-Fraktionschef der Grünen im Bundestag. Der 46-jährige Rechtsanwalt aus Mölln (Schleswig-Holstein) ist Mitglied des Innenausschusses und hat sich einen Namen als Experte für Netz- und Digitalpolitik gemacht.

Verfassungsschutz will NSU-Bericht für 120 Jahre wegschließen Thomas Moser
Inhaltsverzeichnis Verfassungsschutz will NSU-Bericht für 120 Jahre wegschließen Das Zeitmaß spiegelt das Maß des Giftes wider, das in der Akte stecken muss
Was hat der VS-Beamte Temme mit dem Mord in Kassel zu tun? Eine absurd lange Sperrfrist soll vor allem eines signalisieren: "Bei uns kriegt Ihr nichts mehr raus!"
120 Jahre - für diese Dauer hat das Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz (LfV) von Hessen einen internen Bericht gesperrt, in dem es auch um den NSU-Mord von Kassel und die mögliche Verwicklung seines Mitarbeiters Andreas Temme gehen dürfte. Das schürt einerseits den Verdacht: Was derart lange geheim gehalten werden soll, muss brisant sein. Andererseits kann diese absurde Sperrfrist als Botschaft verstanden werden an die Öffentlichkeit und diejenigen, die weiterhin aufklären wollen: 'Von uns erfahrt Ihr nichts mehr. Gebt auf!'
Es ist ein unverblümter Bruch einer Sicherheitsbehörde mit dem Legalitätsprinzip im Rechtsstaat BRD, Ausdruck des verzweifelten Abwehrkampfes gegen die anhaltenden Aufklärungsbemühungen im Mordkomplex NSU.
Mit Irritation und ungläubigem Staunen reagierte die Öffentlichkeit, als vor wenigen Wochen die Nachricht von der 120 Jahre-Sperrfrist bekannt wurde. Er habe zunächst gedacht, es handle sich um einen Tippfehler und müsste "20 Jahre" heißen, so ein Parlamentarier, der im eben zu Ende gegangenen zweiten NSU-Untersuchungsausschuss des Bundestages saß. Doch langsam weicht die Überraschung dem Widerspruch.
Was ist derart geheim am Mord in Kassel, dass es fünf Generationen nicht wissen dürfen? Zunächst wurde er nicht aufgeklärt. Seit November 2011 rechnet ihn die Bundesanwaltschaft, wie alle zehn Morde, dem Trio Uwe Böhnhardt, Uwe Mundlos, Beate Zschäpe zu. Tatsächlich ist er einer der Schlüsselfälle des NSU-Skandals, dessen Hintergründe weiterhin im Dunkeln liegen.
Als der junge Deutschtürke Halit Yozgat am 6. April 2006 in seinem Internetcafé mit zwei Kopfschüssen ermordet wurde, hielten sich fünf Kunden und ein Kleinkind in den Räumen auf. Wer nimmt ein solches Risiko auf sich? Einer der fünf Kunden war der Beamte des LfV Hessen, Andreas Temme. War das wiederum lediglich Zufall?
Zwei Hausnummern neben dem Anschlagsort befindet sich ein Polizeirevier. Wurde das von dem oder den Tätern übersehen oder existiert ein unbekannter Zusammenhang mit der Tat? Der Verfassungsschützer Temme verließ als einziger nach dem Mord unerkannt den Laden. Hat er das Opfer tatsächlich nicht liegen sehen, wie er behauptet? Kam der Täter überhaupt von außen, oder wurde der Mord von innen begangen?
Fragen, die sich bis heute stellen, der amtlichen Version zum Trotz.
Die Verwicklung des hessischen Verfassungsschutzes (VS) geht über die Person Temme hinaus. Ende März 2006, zwei Wochen vor dem Mord in Kassel, schickte eine Abteilungsleiterin des Amtes eine Mail an die Dienststelle des VS in Kassel und wies auf die ungeklärte Ceska-Mordserie hin, der bis dahin bereits sieben Migranten zum Opfer gefallen waren. Der letzte Mord lag neun Monate zurück, im Juni 2005. Warum nun, im März 2006, plötzlich diese Aktivität des Verfassungsschutzes? Warum in Hessen?
Das soll auf das Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) zurückgegangen sein, das sich an das LfV Hessen gewandt und die Ceska-Mordserie thematisiert haben soll. Doch warum wandte sich die Bundesbehörde BKA nicht an das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, sondern lediglich an die Hessen? In Hessen war bis dato kein Ceska-Mord begangen worden. Die Schwerpunkte lagen in Nürnberg und München. Außerdem waren in Hamburg und Rostock türkisch-stämmige Menschen ermordet worden. Allerdings stammte das erste Opfer aus Hessen. Der Blumenhändler Enver Simsek, der im September 2000 an seinem Blumenstand in Nürnberg niedergeschossen wurde, lebte mit seiner Familie in Schlüchtern zwischen Frankfurt und Fulda.
In der VS-Dienststelle in Kassel zeichnete Temme die Mail seiner Vorgesetzten über die Ceska-Mordserie mit seinem Kürzel ab. Nur wenige Tage später wurde in eben dieser Stadt ein Mord mit eben dieser Ceska-Pistole verübt - und dieser Verfassungsschützer war zugegen. Zwei Tage vorher war in Dortmund bereits ein weiterer Mord mit der Waffe geschehen. Hatte sich das BKA, wie in Hessen, auch an den Verfassungsschutz in Nordrhein-Westfalen gewandt? Darüber weiß man bisher nichts.
Warum Kassel, warum der Verfassungsschutz, warum Temme? Hat die Abteilungsleiterin des hessischen LfV ihre Mail auch an V-Mann-Führer mit Quellen in anderen Teilen des Bundeslandes gesandt? Hatte das Amt Kenntnisse, die auf Kassel hinwiesen? Gab es Rückmeldungen von V-Mann-Führern? Unklar ist unter anderem, wie viele Quellen die Dienststelle in Kassel damals hatte und wo sie eingesetzt waren. Die Mordermittler der Kriminalpolizei durften sie nie befragen.

Eine Akte soll für 120 Jahre unter Verschluss.
Von Susanne Höll
Im hessischen NSU-Untersuchungsausschuss löste zuletzt ein interner Bericht des Landesamts für Verfassungsschutz Wirbel aus. Der Dienst hatte als Folge des Mordes an dem Kasseler Deutschtürken Halit Yozgat geprüft, ob er zwischen 1992 und 2012 Hinweise auf den NSU übersehen oder sonstige Fehler im Kampf gegen Neonazis begangen hatte. Spuren zum NSU fanden sich nicht. Dafür gestand der Dienst ein, manchen Informationen über Waffen- und Sprengstoffbesitz bei Rechtsextremen nicht zügig genug nachgegangen zu sein. Eigenartig.
Viel eigenartiger erscheint aber die Sperrfrist, mit der die Analyse versehen ist: Sage und schreibe 120 Jahre lang soll der Rapport den Augen der Öffentlichkeit entzogen werden. Eine solche Spanne ist im deutschen Archivwesen ungewöhnlich. In den meisten Bundesländern - und auch im Bund - gelten in der Regel geringere Fristen. Üblich sind 30 Jahre, die, jedenfalls für Wissenschaftler und Journalisten mit begründetem Interesse, verkürzt werden können. Sensible und als geheim eingestufte Behördenpapiere können in der Regel nach 60 Jahren eingesehen werden. Finden sich in den Akten Verweise auf Personen, etwa Zuträger von Geheimdiensten, werden sie erst zehn Jahre nach dem Tod des Betreffenden geöffnet. Ist der Todeszeitpunkt unbekannt, endet der Schutz 100 Jahre nach dessen Geburt.
Warum wählte das hessische Landesamt die Frist von 120 Jahren? Das weckte Spekulationen in der Politik und der Öffentlichkeit. Wollte der Dienst Pannen oder womöglich Schlimmeres vertuschen? Nein, sagt ein Sprecher der Behörde. Es gehe um den Schutz der Zuträger, die bei einer Publikation in Gefahr gerieten. Das klingt nicht auf Anhieb unplausibel. Fliegen Informanten auf, muss man ihnen ein Leben mit falscher Identität ermöglichen. Doch ist es so gut wie ausgeschlossen, dass selbst die jüngsten aller Zuträger des hessischen Landesamtes in 120 Jahren noch am Leben sind. Stimmt, sagt der Behördensprecher. Aber auch ihren Nachkommen gebühre Schutz. Dass sich im 22. Jahrhundert irgendjemand am Enkel eines Dienst-Informanten rächen möchte, ist allerdings kaum zu erwarten.
Rechtlich ist dem Amt nichts vorzuwerfen, die Regelungen lassen eine 120-Jahre-Spanne zu, sagen die Experten des hessischen Staatsarchivs. Diese lange Sperrung ist auch den Diensten des Bundes erlaubt. Dort wird sie nach Aussage von Kennern inzwischen aber nur noch selten verhängt, bei brisanten Spionageabwehr-Aktionen etwa. Einer, der viel Erfahrung mit Geheimpapieren hat, hält die hessische Entscheidung für Unfug. Sicher, Zuträger brauchten Schutz, sonst würden sie den Job nicht machen. 120 Jahre aber seien in diesem Fall grotesk.
Anzeige
Der Mann hat eine andere Erklärung. Dass Dienste eigene Versäumnisse schriftlich auflisteten, sei ehrenwert, aus professioneller Sicht aber, nun ja, ungewöhnlich. Um den Mängelbericht so gut wie möglich zu kaschieren, wolle man ihn besonders lange unter Verschluss halten. Falls dies tatsächlich die Intention gewesen sein sollte, erweist sich das als kontraproduktiv. Es wurden keine Spekulationen unterbunden, im Gegenteil: Die ungewöhnliche Frist nährt Verschwörungstheorien erst.

Es geht vor allem um die Ermordung von zehn Menschen. Zwei der mutmaßlichen Haupttäter, Uwe Mundlos und Uwe Böhnhardt, hatten sich am 4. November 2011 in ihrem Wohnmobil selbst getötet. Die Bundesanwaltschaft begann am 25. Juli 2017 mit ihrem Plädoyer, in dem sie darlegte, die Anklage gegen Zschäpe habe sich im Wesentlichen bestätigt; sie sei Mitgründerin und Mitglied der terroristischen Vereinigung NSU gewesen und als Mittäterin an deren Taten beteiligt.

Paciencia. Es la palabra que debe prevalecer entre familiares, amigos, médicos, periodistas, fanáticos y todos los que siguen con atención el caso de Gustavo Cerati, ex vocalista de la banda Soda Stereo, quien se encuentra en terapia intensiva del Centro Médico Docente La Trinidad, al sureste de Caracas. El cantautor fue sometido este martes a una intervención quirúrgica por una isquemia cerebral tipo ACV (Accidente Cerebro Vascular).
Cerati permanece en "estado crítico pero estable", siendo monitoreado permanentemente por un equipo de médicos venezolanos, encabezado por el neurocirujano Vladimir Fuenmayor. Hoy se suma otro grupo de médicos argentinos, liderado por Ramón Leiguarda, director de la Clínica Fleni de Buenos Aires, quien ha estado trabajando en coordinación con Caracas.
Adolfredo Sáez, director del centro asistencial, dio finalmente una versión verosímil de lo que ocurrió con el artista desde su ingreso el domingo, horas después del concierto que ofreció en la Universidad Simón Bolívar. El argentino llegó con "síntomas neurológicos sugestivos de isquemia cerebral tipo ACV", y un edema que ameritó una operación que descomprimió la presión generada por la inflamación.
Ramón Leiguarda informó a a la radio Continental de Buenos Aires que Cerati "tuvo una obstrucción de la arteria carótida interna" que le causó "un infarto extendido en el hemisferio izquierdo del cerebro".
Fuenmayor, quien no quiso ahondar en torno a las causas y consecuencias de la isquemia, señaló que el artista presenta todo lo inherente a un ACV (problemas motores, de habla, de sensibilidad). "La evolución de estos pacientes hay que verla en términos de tendencia, lo que yo diga puede cambiar en un minuto o una hora".
"El ACV en pacientes jóvenes es una categoría muy particular", señaló Fuenmayor, quien calificó el estado del artista como "crítico", "estacionario" e "impredecible".
Cerati nació el 11 de agosto de 1959 en Buenos Aires. Su amor y su talento por la música le depararon un lugar destacado en la historia de la cultura argentina como líder de Soda Stereo, banda que marcó una época en el rock de su país y latinoamericano en los años ochenta.
La historia de Soda empezó en 1979, cuando Cerati conoció a Héctor "Zeta" Bosio. El amigo se transformó luego en el bajista del grupo. En 1982 se suma Charly Alberti como baterista y 1985 destaca como el año de la consagración nacional e internacional de la banda. El 1 de mayo de 1997 el grupo anunció su separación, aunque el trío se reunió una década después para concretar una exitosa gira por América Latina. En 1993 apareció el primer álbum de Cerati como solista, Amor amarillo. En Venezuela cerró el sábado su gira Fuerza Natural, que promociona su quinto trabajo.

Gustavo Cerati permanece en estado crítico y en coma inducido, según el parte médico dado la mañana del 20 de mayo. Los médicos que lo monitorean permanentemente en el Centro Médico La Trinidad de la capital venezolana, han sido cautos en los diagnósticos sobre la salud del músico.
El equipo está encabezado por el neurocirujano Vladimir Fuenmayor y Ramón Leiguarda, del instituto FLENI de Buenos Aires. Fuenmayor dijo que el accidente cerebro vascular tiene un comportamiento impredecible, y que puede cambiar repentinamente. "El ACV en pacientes jóvenes es una categoría muy particular", dijo el médico al periódico El Universal. En tanto Leiguarda dijo a los medios de comunicación que aún es prematuro hablar sobre las posibles secuelas que Cerati tendría tras la operación del martes pasado. Las 72 horas que transcurren tras la operación son clave en la salud del ex Soda Stéreo, han dicho los galenos.
Debido a los rumores que se desatan contínuamente en redes sociales, fue necesario que los representantes del músico aclararan por la noche a la prensa la muerte de Cerati, exhortándoles que se atuvieran a los partes médicos oficiales. También la empresa Evenpro, que organizó el hasta ahora último concierto del argentino, aclaró en su cuenta de Twitter que hubiera presentado muerte cerebral.

The Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, despatched an additional 1,000 troops to the south of the country to help deal with the widespread violence. This brings the total number of security forces operating in the three troubled provinces to approximately 30,000.
Mr. Shinawatra's recent visit to the region was followed by further shootings. In Narathiwat Province a 40 year old village worker was shot while helping a neighbour repair a fence. Friday saw the shooting of an assistant village head in Yala Province, and an elderly couple were shot in Pattani Province whilst returning from a local market.
The insurgency and campaign for an independent Muslim state in the southern provinces has resulted in an exodus from the area. Estimates put the number of Thai Buddhists who have fled the area at 34,000. There are also some reports that Muslim inhabitants of the area have been seeking refuge in Malaysia.
The state of emergency imposed last month has had a mixed reception. Largely favoured by Buddhists in the provinces, this grants additional powers to the Prime Minister and follows on from martial law having been in place since January 2004. Despite these security measures, over 1,000 people have died in the insurgency.

Thailand's Islamist Insurgency on the Brink By Stephen Ulph With the pace of violence in Thailand increasing—the death toll since the renewal of the insurgency in January 2004 now exceeds 1000, making the region the most violent arena for Muslim violence outside Iraq—fears are growing that the Thai insurgency will take on more overtly regional features, and transform from a secessionist into a full-blown Jihadist-struggle. The Muslim dominated southern Thai provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat have suffered severe economic damage from the constant barrage of bombings, murders and intimidation. One estimate puts the numbers of Buddhists who have fled the region since the renewal of the insurgency in January 2004 at over 34,000.
Bangkok's response to date—that the violence in the south is an internal problem it can handle on its own—underpins the nature of the security response. This has taken the form of a troop presence of roughly 30,000 additional soldiers and police forces, as well as heavy-handed suppression. There has been no decrease in the violence as a result of this policy, yet on July 17 the Thai Cabinet issued an emergency decree granting Prime Minster Thaksin Shinawatra more sweeping powers in the three southern provinces and immunity to security forces in the emergency zones (www.bangkokpost.co.th) The insistence on further intensification like this has led observers to ascribe the pursuit of the tactic to Shinawatra's need to rescue his sinking public approval rating.
The issue of the insurgency's ‘internalization' was recently highlighted by former army commander General Kitti Rattanachaya, a security adviser to the Prime Minister, who warned on September 29 that Indonesian fighters are involved, contradicting government insistence on its purely domestic dimensions (www.thejakartapost.com). Thai militants have thus far maintained the local nature of the insurgency, but add that training is taking place within Thailand, again contradicting Bangkok's objections that Malaysia is not doing enough to suppress training camps on its bordering territory in the north. An AP report ran a telling comment by rebel leader Lukman Lima to the effect that the insurgents were receiving financial support from abroad, "especially from Islamic sympathizers in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia."
If so, this puts an entirely different complexion on the future of the southern provinces. Foreign mujahid intervention almost exclusively means extreme Islamist influence will be added to the equation. There is already evidence that many of the victims of the insurgency are Muslims themselves, considered to be ‘collaborationist' for the moderate nature of their views. The longer the absence of a resolution, the greater the prospect of the Thai Muslim insurgency succumbing to Salafist domination, whereby the local Muslim culture becomes subordinated to austere ‘Wahhabi' influences, useful in providing a groundwork for exporting jihadi culture.
A taste of the threatened regionalization from the spillover into neighboring countries is already taking place. At the end of August, 131 Thai Muslims fled from the violence across the southern border into Malaysia. This fuelled a political dilemma for Kuala Lumpur as it wrestled with the domestic fallout of forcibly repatriating them. The cause of the Thai refugees has received popular sympathy and is being actively supported by members of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a Islamist radical party that has control over the northern province of Kelantan bordering Thailand. This and the ongoing dispute over the reputed existence of training camps used by Thai Muslims in Kelantan, sets the scene for expansion. Meanwhile the image the conflict is presenting, of a Muslim community brutally suppressed, is doing the propaganda work for the Islamists, which may not have to draw reserves from far afield. As Indonesian troops withdraw from Aceh in the wake of the peace accord ending the separatist rebellion initiated in 1976, the question must be asked about how far ties of cooperation with tried-and-tested Muslim rebels in Aceh—with only the Straits of Malacca to separate them from Thailand's southern provinces—have been established. This in addition to the historical evidence of Jemaah Islamiyah's interest in Thailand, with the capture there of their operational chief Riduan Isamuddin ("Hambali") in 2003, spell out an Islamist insurgency that is about to overflow.

NAIROBI, Kenya – A search team has found the cockpit voice recorder of a Kenya Airways plane that crashed in Cameroon last month, killing 114 people, the airline's chief executive officer said.
The voice recorder was found Friday afternoon and Cameroonian authorities are now making arrangements to get it to Canada as soon as possible, Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni said in a brief statement late Friday.
When it is analyzed, the voice recorder is expected to reveal the final exchanges between the plane's captain and his co-pilot and also any conversations with the control tower in Cameroon's commercial capital of Douala.
The Kenya Airways flight nose-dived into a swamp in the West African country less than two minutes after taking off from Douala on a stormy night May 5. The Boeing 737-800 had been bound for Kenya.
The plane's data recorder was found last month and taken to Canada for analysis. A preliminary review showed no evidence of a mechanical malfunction, the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement posted on its Web site Friday.
The authority said a full report of what led to the crash will take as long as a year.
The preliminary investigation found that all crew members were sufficiently trained and certified according to expected aviation guidelines, the statement said.
Though the flight was delayed about an hour because of thunderstorms and heavy rain, the preliminary report suggested that conditions had cleared by the time the plane took off.
Pilots from two other airlines, however, said they waited longer to take off because they were concerned about the weather.
The report, issued on Monday, also said the Kenya Airways jetliner reached 3,000 feet before nose-diving sharply at a 45-degree angle “for undetermined reasons.” The plane disintegrated on impact.
The report says that investigators plan to also review the performance of the flight crew and consider if there were any regulatory oversights.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is assisting Cameroon in the investigation, along with aviation authorities from Kenya and Canada.

A Kenya Airways Boeing 737.
A search team has found the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from the wreckage of Kenya Airways Flight 507. The plane, a Boeing 737-800, crashed in Cameroon on May 5, killing all 114 on board.
The aircraft's flight data recorder, which records details of what happened to the plane, had previously been located and analysed in Canada. Kenyan authorities had specifically requested that it had been analysed there instead of Europe or the United States, saying that this was preferable due to ongoing strained relations between Boeing and Airbus, and due to the bilingual nature of Canada helping to ease communication between Kenya and Cameroon. Preliminary analysis had found no evidence of mechanical failure. Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni said as part of a statement that Camaroonian authorities were preparing to send the voice recorder to Canada also.
So far, the investigation has determined that after reaching an altitude of 3,000 feet shortly after take-off, the plane nose-dived sharply at 45 degrees for thus far undetermined reasons. The CVR analysis is expected to help the investigation to progress as it will allow investigators to analyse the final conversations of the pilots both between themselves and with air traffic control. Authorities have warned that the investigation and final report may take over a year.
On Tuesday, Kenya Airways agreed on interim compensation payments of over 1.9 million shillings to the families of the crash victims.

ie Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) gibt ab sofort niemandem mehr einen Job, der sich als Raucher outet.Eigentlich ist die Maßnahme nur konsequent: Für die Organisation, die der Gesundheit der Welt verpflichtet ist, soll niemand arbeiten, der seine eigene Gesundheit gefährdet. Deshalb gilt seit dem 1. Dezember ein Einstellungsstopp für Nikotinanhänger. Das bestätigte WHO-Sprecherin Fadela Chaïb am Freitag im Schweizer Rundfunk. Die WHO ist die erste Organisation der Vereinten Nationen, die zu so drastischen Maßnahmen im Kampf gegen das Rauchen greift.Stellenanzeigen tragen nun den Vermerk, dass die WHO ein rauchfreier Ort ist und deshalb keine Leute anstellt, die Tabak „in irgendeiner Form“ konsumieren. Bewerber sollen angeben, ob sie rauchen – und ob sie es im Fall einer Anstellung weiter zu tun beabsichtigen. Wenn sie dies bejahen, werden sie von der Liste der Kandidaten gestrichen.Das bereits angestellte Personal sei von der Maßnahme nicht betroffen, erklärte Fadela Chaïb. Es werde auch keine Tests geben, um möglichem Tabakkonsum von WHO-Angestellten auf die Spur zu kommen. Die WHO beschäftigt an ihrem Hauptsitz in Genf etwa 2400 Mitarbeiter.Schweizer Arbeitsrechtler verweisen darauf, dass die WHO eigene Einstellungs-Kriterien anlegen kann. Das Schweizer Recht verbietet nur die Diskriminierung nach Geschlecht, Herkunft oder Glauben. Wenn ein neu Eingestellter seine Leidenschaft für Tabak zuvor verheimlicht habe, könne er anschließend nicht deswegen entlassen werden.Seit Jahren führt die WHO eine Kampagne gegen das Rauchen. Sie hat als erste UN-Organisation einen weltweiten Gesundheitsstandard durchgesetzt, der von der Mehrheit der WHO -Vertragsstaaten unterschrieben wurde. Er sieht ein allgemeines Rauchverbot in öffentlichen Gebäuden sowie eine Werbebeschränkung für Tabakwaren vor.Quelle: dpa

Seit dem 1. Dezember stellt die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) keine Raucher mehr ein. Dies sagte die WHO-Sprecherin Fadela Chaïb am Freitag gegenüber einem Schweizer Rundfunksender.
Die WHO, die an ihrem Hauptsitz in Genf etwa 2.400 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt, will die neue Regelung auf alle Neueinstellungen anwenden. Bewerber, die auf Nachfrage angeben, Raucher zu sein, werden von der Bewerbungsliste gestrichen. Auch auf Stellenanzeigen wird darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass keine Raucher eingestellt werden. Bereits fest angestellte Mitarbeiter sind von der neuen arbeitsrechtlichen Klausel nicht betroffen. Das Suchtverhalten der Mitarbeiter wird auch nicht durch Tests überprüft.
Die WHO ist damit die erste Unterorganisation der UNO, die solche drastischen Regeln für ihre Mitarbeiter eingeführt hat. Die WHO ist Vorreiter einer weltweiten Kampagne gegen das Rauchen in öffentlichen Gebäuden. Diese Norm wurde von den Mitgliedsstaaten der WHO zum Standard erklärt. Die Mehrheit der WHO-Vertragsstaaten hat diese Norm verbindlich übernommen. Dieser Standard sieht auch ein Verbot der Werbung für Tabakwaren in bestimmten Bereichen vor.

Ten people have died after Tuesday's explosions at Istanbul's airport, Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said.
[Original story, published at 3:54 p.m. ET]
Two explosions and gunfire rocked Istanbul Ataturk airport Tuesday, Turkey's semi-official news agency Anadolu reported.
The report referenced multiple injuries, but the exact number was not immediately clear.
The report says the explosions occurred in the international departures area of the airport.
Video on Turkish television showed a string of ambulances and fire trucks at the scene as authorities scurried under crime-scene tape.
Turkey has been rocked by a string of terror attacks over the past year as it weathers bombing campaigns carried out both by ISIS and Kurdish militants.
As part of the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, Turkey allows coalition planes to fly raids on ISIS targets in neighboring Iraq and Syria from its territory.
And last year Turkey resumed hostilities with the PKK, Kurdish militant separatists, in earnest after a two-year cease fire broke down.
The PKK, or Kurdistan Worker's Party, has been in an armed struggle with the Turkish government for decades and is considered a terror group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
In March, at least 37 were killed when a car bomb detonated near a bus stop in the Turkish capital, Ankara, in an attack claimed by a Kurdish militant group.
Six days later an ISIS suicide bomber detonated himself on one of Istanbul's main streets, killing four.
A month earlier, 28 were killed in a blast targeting military vehicles in central Ankara. A Kurdish group claimed responsibility.
And in January, at least 10 German tourists died in a suicide bombing in Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square that Turkish authorities linked to ISIS.
The violence has had an impact on Turkey's tourism industry, a key sector of the national economy.

Nachbarländer in Sorge: China testet Flugzeugträger
Chinas erster Flugzeugträger ist zu einer Testfahrt ausgelaufen. Wie die amtliche Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua berichtete, verließ das Schiff den Hafen von Dalian in Nordostchina. Die Fahrt werde "nicht lange dauern". Nach seiner Rückkehr werde der Flugzeugträger weiter überholt und getestet.
Er war ursprünglich in der Sowjetunion unter dem Namen "Warjag" gebaut worden. Nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion 1991 kaufte China das noch unfertige Schiff 1998 ohne Maschinen und Waffen von der Ukraine. Die "Warjag" wird jetzt modernisiert und soll China für Ausbildungszwecke dienen.
Chinas Marine verfolgt ein eigenes Flugzeugträgerprogramm. Nach offiziell unbestätigten Berichten sollen gegenwärtig in Shanghai ein oder möglicherweise sogar zwei Flugzeugträger gebaut werden.
Das ehrgeizige Vorhaben sorgt in der asiatischen Region für Beunruhigung, da China mit mehreren Nachbarn um Territorialansprüche und Rohstoffvorkommen auf hoher See streitet. Besonders der Konflikt um die Spratly Inseln im Südchinesischen Meer war gerade wieder aufgeflammt.
China weiter nur Regionalmacht
Nach Ansicht des Internationalen Instituts für Strategische Studien (IISS) bleibt China trotz des massiven Ausbaus seiner militärischen Fähigkeiten eine "Regionalmacht mit regionalen Sorgen". Dass sich Chinas Verteidigungshaushalt 2010 trotz der weltweiten Finanzkrise um 7,5 Prozent erhöht habe, bereite aber weiterhin Sorge, erklärte das renommierte Institut in London in seinem Jahresbericht "Militärische Balance 2011".
Chinas Streben, den technologischen Rückstand gegenüber dem Westen aufzuholen, könnte laut IISS durch "ernsthafte strukturelle Schwächen" unterwandert werden. Waffenfabriken seien über das weite Land verstreut, ihre Maschinen und Forschungsabteilungen oft veraltet.

Flugzeugträger (Archivaufnahme)
Am Mittwoch ist der erste Flugzeugträger Chinas zu einer Testfahrt ausgelaufen. Nach Angaben der Chinesen soll das Schiff zur wissenschaftlichen Forschung, für Experimente und zum Training genutzt werden. Die Nachbarn sind besorgt, China erhob immer wieder territoriale Ansprüche gegen sie.
Das 300 Meter lange Schiff war in der Sowjetunion gebaut worden und trug den Namen „Warjag“. Einsatzfähig war es noch nie. 1998 kaufte es China von der Ukraine. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war das Schiff noch ohne Maschinen, ohne elektrische Ausstattung und nicht bewaffnet. China ist dabei, das Schiff zu modernisieren.
Laut der Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua hat der Flugzeugträger die Werft im nordostchinesischen Dalia für eine kurze Testfahrt verlassen. Nach Auskunft des Internationalen Instituts für Strategische Studien hat China die Rüstungsausgaben im Jahr 2010 um 7,5 Prozent erhöht. Zwei eigene Flugzeugträger sollen unbestätigten Meldungen nach gebaut werden. Die Nachbarländer, wie Japan, Vietnam und die Philippinen sind in Sorge. Erst kürzlich hatte sich der Konflikt um die Spratly Inseln im Südchinesischen Meer entzündet. Dabei geht es es um territoriale Ansprüche und Rohstoffe.
Rüstungsprojekte werden in China meist geheim gehalten. Ende Juli waren Bilder des ehemals russischen Flugzeugträgers im chinesische Staatsfernsehen zu sehen. Hintergründe, warum China mit den Bildern an die Öffentlichkeit gegangen ist, sind nicht bekannt.

Der erste Flugzeugträger Chinas ist am Mittwoch zu einer ersten Testfahrt aufgebrochen. Das 300 Meter lange Schiff habe die Werft im nordostchinesischen Dalian verlassen, die Fahrt solle aber nur von kurzer Dauer sein, berichtete die Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua. Dann sollten die Arbeiten an dem Flugzeugträger weitergehen und zusätzliche Tests erfolgen. Vor einem Monat hatte Peking erklärt, das Schiff solle für "wissenschaftliche Forschung, Experimente und Training" genutzt werden. Chinas Nachbarstaaten verfolgen die Modernisierung und Aufrüstung der Streitkräfte des Landes mit großer Sorge. China macht zunehmend Besitzansprüche im ost- und südchinesischen Meer geltend, wo mehrere andere asiatische Länder ebenfalls Ansprüche erheben. In jüngster Vergangenheit hatte China immer wieder Streitigkeiten über Territorialfragen, unter anderem mit Japan, Vietnam und den Philippinen. Der Flugzeugträger sollte ursprünglich für die sowjetische Marine gebaut werden, die Arbeiten an dem damals "Warjag" genannten Schiff wurden aber mit dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion 1991 eingestellt. China soll die Schiffshülle - ohne Motor und elektrische Ausstattung - 1998 von der Ukraine gekauft haben. Bislang wurden kaum Angaben über das Schiff gemacht, die chinesische Regierung hält ihre Rüstungsprojekte so weit wie möglich geheim. Ende Juli hatte das chinesische Staatsfernsehen dann aber Bilder des im Bau befindlichen Flugzeugträgers gezeigt.

Qaddafi spent an average 1.2 percent of gross domestic product on the military in the three years through 2008, the lowest in the Middle East and North Africa and also less than Sweden or Denmark, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute or Sipri, which tracks defense spending. Before it was split by an uprising that started last month, Libyas army had 50,000 men, half of them draftees, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Flugzeugträger (Archivaufnahme)
Am Mittwoch ist der erste Flugzeugträger Chinas zu einer Testfahrt ausgelaufen. Nach Angaben der Chinesen soll das Schiff zur wissenschaftlichen Forschung, für Experimente und zum Training genutzt werden. Die Nachbarn sind besorgt, China erhob immer wieder territoriale Ansprüche gegen sie.
Das 300 Meter lange Schiff war in der Sowjetunion gebaut worden und trug den Namen „Warjag“. Einsatzfähig war es noch nie. 1998 kaufte es China von der Ukraine. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war das Schiff noch ohne Maschinen, ohne elektrische Ausstattung und nicht bewaffnet. China ist dabei, das Schiff zu modernisieren.
Laut der Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua hat der Flugzeugträger die Werft im nordostchinesischen Dalia für eine kurze Testfahrt verlassen. Nach Auskunft des Internationalen Instituts für Strategische Studien hat China die Rüstungsausgaben im Jahr 2010 um 7,5 Prozent erhöht. Zwei eigene Flugzeugträger sollen unbestätigten Meldungen nach gebaut werden. Die Nachbarländer, wie Japan, Vietnam und die Philippinen sind in Sorge. Erst kürzlich hatte sich der Konflikt um die Spratly Inseln im Südchinesischen Meer entzündet. Dabei geht es es um territoriale Ansprüche und Rohstoffe.
Rüstungsprojekte werden in China meist geheim gehalten. Ende Juli waren Bilder des ehemals russischen Flugzeugträgers im chinesische Staatsfernsehen zu sehen. Hintergründe, warum China mit den Bildern an die Öffentlichkeit gegangen ist, sind nicht bekannt.

Dos hombres ayudan a uno de los heridos en el atentado que ha sacudido esta mañana el centro de Kabul.
Una potente bomba, instalada en una ambulancia, ha estallado esta mañana en una zona atestada del centro de Kabul, junto a un puesto policial situado en las inmediaciones del barrio diplomático de la capital afgana. El balance de víctimas no ha parado de aumentar y se sitúa ya, según el Ministerio de Salud afgano, en al menos 40 muertos y 140 heridos.
Los talibanes se han atribuido la autoría del atentado. Su portavoz ha dicho en la red social Telegram que "un mártir con un coche bomba alcanzó el primer punto de control cerca del Ministerio del Interior", y ha añadido que, en el momento de la explosión, había una gran concentración de policías en la zona.
En un primer momento, el Ministerio de Salud ha informado de que el atentado, que se ha escuchado en gran parte de la capital, había causado al menos 18 heridos. "Hasta ahora, 18 civiles heridos han sido trasladados a los hospitales de Kabul", ha dicho a la AFP un portavoz del ministerio, Waheed Majroh.
Posteriormente, otro portavoz del mismo ministerio, Ismail Kawosi, ha indicado a Efe que "hasta ahora 31 heridos" han sido llevados al Hospital de Emergencias de Kabul, aunque se espera que el número de víctimas aumente. Por otro lado, la ONG italiana Emergency ha informado de que atendía a 50 heridos en su hospital, y su coordinador Dejan Panic, lo ha tildado de "masacre". Después, han informado de que a su hospital han trasladado siete muertos y 70 heridos.
Tolo News, que cita al Ministerio de Salud afgano, elevó el balance a 75 heridos, mientras que las agencias Efe y Reuters, con datos de funcionarios de dicho departamento, informaban de que el balance era de 17 muertos y 110 heridos aunque todavía se temía que pudiera aumentar porque siguen llegando víctimas a los hospitales. Y así ha sido. Las agencias internacionales hablan ya de 40 muertos y 140 heridos, de acuerdo con el Ministerio de Salud afgano. Este balance sigue siendo "provisional".
La explosión se ha producido a las 12.45 hora local (las 9.15 en la España peninsular). El portavoz del Ministerio del Interior, Nasrat Rahimi, ha confirmado a la AFP que la explosión ha sido causada por una ambulancia bomba. Mirwais Yasini, un diputado que estaba cerca del lugar de la explosión, ha explicado que la ambulancia se ha acercado al puesto de control, situado en la plaza de Sadarat, y ha estallado. El diputado ha asegurado que ha visto a varias personas que yacían en el suelo.
El vehículo ha explotado frente a las puertas de la antigua sede del Ministerio del Interior, cerca de unas instalaciones del Directorio Nacional de Seguridad (NDS), la principal agencia de inteligencia afgana, y en las inmediaciones del barrio diplomático de la capital afgana, donde se encuentran embajadas extranjeras así como diversas sedes de las instituciones del Gobierno.
Se trata de una zona muy concurrida, rodeada de escuelas, tiendas y restaurantes. Además, El sábado es día laborable en Afganistán, por lo que las calles estaban atestadas. El ataque se produce una semana después del brutal ataque contra el Hotel Intercontinental, en el que murieron 40 personas cuya autoría se atribuyeron también los talibanes.

Использование общедоступных сетей Wi-Fi грехом не считается.
Богослов из Саудовской Аравии Али аль-Хаками издал фетву против использования чужого Wi-Fi без разрешения, так как присвоение чужого имущества в исламе считается тяжким грехом.
«Запрещается пользоваться сервисом Wi-Fi незаконно и без уведомления бенефициаров или провайдеров, - цитирует The Washington Post слова Али аль-Хаками. – Перед тем, как воспользоваться сервисом Wi-Fi, необходимо проконсультироваться с поставщиком услуг или человеком, заплатившим за него».
Как указывается в фетве, использование общедоступных сетей Wi-Fi в парках, торговых центрах, государственных учреждениях, кафе, отелях и прочих публичных местах грехом не является.
Аналогичная фетва, осуждающая незаконное использование интернета другого человека, была издана в апреле нынешнего года Департаментом по делам ислама и благотворительной деятельности Дубая. «Не допускается использование того, что принадлежит другим без оплаты или разрешения. Таким образом, интернет должен использоваться только после подписки на услугу», - утверждают авторы документа.

MIAMI (Feb. 4, 2007) -- Tony Dungy, beaming and sporting an NFL champions cap, waded through the mob on the soggy field until he found his quarterback, Peyton Manning.
And there they stood in the rain, the winning Super Bowl coach and the MVP, finally savoring a moment that was a long time coming.
A wet and wild night of Super Bowl firsts brought Dungy, Manning and the Indianapolis Colts to the top of the NFL with a 29-17 victory against the Chicago Bears.
A team built for indoors found its footing on a rain-soaked track. The Colts were far less sloppy, particularly their star quarterback, who proved he can indeed win the big game -- the biggest game.
"Peyton is a tremendous player, a great leader," Dungy said. "He prepares, he works, does everything you can do to win games and lead your team. If people think he needed to win a Super Bowl, that is just wrong. This guy is a Hall of Fame player and one of the greatest ever to play."
And now he is a champion. So is his coach.
"It's hard to put into words," said Manning, who completed 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards with one touchdown and one interception. "I'm proud to be part of this team. We stuck together, won this game for our leader, Tony Dungy."
Dungy became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured the first two black coaches in the Super Bowl.
"It feels great. I thought about that as I was on the podium," Dungy said. "Being the first African-American coach to win it. I have to dedicate to some guys before me -- great coaches I know could have done this if they had gotten the opportunity. Lovie and I were able to take advantage of it. We certainly weren't the most qualified."
Dungy's ring wasn't the only first. It also was the first rainy Super Bowl and the first time an opening kickoff was run back for a touchdown, when sensational Bears rookie Devin Hester sped downfield for 92 yards.
Over the final 49 minutes, Kelvin Hayden and the Colts defense outscored the Bears offense.
When much-maligned Bears quarterback Rex Grossman's wobbly pass was picked off and returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kelvin Hayden with 11:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, it was over.
"I'm so proud of our guys," Dungy said. "We took the hit early with Devin Hester. We talked about it; it's going to be a storm. Sometimes you have to work for it. Our guys played so hard and I can't tell you how proud I am of our group, our organization and our city."
Chicago (15-4), which led the league in takeaways this season, finished with five turnovers, including two interceptions by Grossman.
"A frustrating loss," Grossman said. "There were definitely opportunities for us to take that game, and we didn't do it."
The Colts (16-4) will take it. It's their first title since the 1970 season, when they played in Baltimore.
It was confirmation of Manning's brilliance, even if he didn't need to be dynamic. The son of a quarterback who never got to the playoffs, Manning has been a star throughout his college career at Tennessee and his nine pro seasons with the Colts.
It also was a validation of Dungy's leadership. He helped build Tampa Bay, one of the NFL's worst franchises, into a contender before being fired after the 2001 season. The next year, the Bucs won the Super Bowl under Jon Gruden.
Now it was finally was Dungy's turn. As his players hoisted their coach on their shoulders, he switched his blue Colts cap for a white one that read "NFL champions." Dungy was carried from the sideline, then was lowered so he could share a long embrace and a handshake with Smith.
"I just told Lovie how proud I was of the moment," Dungy said
The Colts reached the pinnacle by winning four postseason games with a defense that made a complete turnaround in the playoffs.
And with a running game that perfectly complemented Manning, thanks to Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai, who combined for 190 yards -- 113 on 21 carries by Rhodes and 77 on 19 carries by Addai, who also caught 10 passes for 66 yards.
Chicago was denied its first Super Bowl title since its powerhouse 1985 team. These Bears could have used Da Coach, Sweetness and their buddies.
It rained from start to finish; there was even Purple Rain during halftime when Prince sang some of his signature songs. And though Vinatieri twice was a victim of the slop, he kicked three field goals.
"We knew handling the ball would be tough," Dungy said. "We showed we could win many ways."
Hester's spectacular return provided a stunning beginning -- and a severe jolt to the Colts. The local product and only rookie All-Pro this season pumped his arms to excite the crowd before the kickoff, then lifted the fans from their seats with an electrifying run on which he never was touched.
He barely touched the ball again as Indy went to squibbing kickoffs.
Peyton Manning had only one touchdown pass, but consistently moved his team into field-goal range.
Grossman had it even worse on Chicago's initial possession of the second half, slipping and getting sacked on back-to-back plays. Maybe he would have done better on icy turf.
Thomas Jones, forced to carry the Bears' entire rushing load when Cedric Benson was hurt in the first half, was Chicago's best player. But with Grossman ineffective, even inept, all the Bears managed in the second half was Robbie Gould's 44-yard field goal late in the third period.
After Hester's opening dagger, Manning tried to force a pass to Marvin Harrison in double coverage and was picked off by Chris Harris to spoil Indy's first possession, but the Colts struck back on their next series, converting a trio of third downs. The final one was the most important -- Manning got everything on a long pass to the uncovered Reggie Wayne even though Tank Johnson had his hands on the quarterback. Wayne trotted into the end zone for a 47-yard score.
Then the rain ruined three plays in a row.
Holder Hunter Smith dropped the snap on the extra point and Vinatieri couldn't get off a kick. Then Vinatieri, well aware of who was lurking deep, squibbed the kickoff to tight end Gabe Reid, who fumbled at his 35, with Tyjuan Hagler recovering for the Colts.
But Manning and Addai botched the handoff on the next snap and Chicago's Mark Anderson recovered, the third turnover in the first 8½ minutes.
Couldn't anybody play this game?
Jones certainly could. He used a sharp cutback to break a 52-yard run, the longest of his career, to the Colts 5, and Grossman found Muhammad in the front of the end zone for a 14-6 lead.
Jones finished with 112 yards rushing.
A fourth giveaway in the opening quarter, by Benson on his first carry before injuring his knee, didn't damage Chicago.
Vinatieri, who made two Super Bowl-winning kicks for New England, nailed a 29-yard field goal early in the second period, but was wide left from 32 yards at the end of the half.
Vinatieri still set a record with 49 postseason points.

The Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI against the Chicago Bears in a 29-17 victory at a rain-soaked Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Quarterback Payton Manning was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
Colts coach Tony Dungy became the first African American to coach an American football team to Super Bowl championship, now in its 41st year. He also became the third person, after Mike Ditka and Tom Flores, to win a Super Bowl as both a coach and as a player: Dungy was on the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers team that won Super Bowl XIII.

Indianapolis did not look like a winning team early in the game. After Chicago won the coin toss, Devin Hester returned the opening Indianapolis kickoff for a 92 yards for a touchdown, giving Chicago the fastest lead in Super Bowl history.
On the Indianapolis first drive of the game, Peyton Manning threw an interception to Bears defensive back Chris Harris. However, Chicago could not capitalize on the turnover and punted back to Indianapolis.
Manning seemed to get comfortable on the next possession, and burned the Bears defense with a 53-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne. Indianapolis did not convert the touchdown, after punter/holder Hunter Smith fumbled the snap on the extra point attempt.
This was the first of many weather-induced errors for both teams. Indianapolis's Robert Mathis forced a turnover after Chicago tight end Gabe Reid fumbled Adam Vinatieri's bouncing kickoff. But on the next play, Indianapolis gave it back when running back Joseph Addai fumbled a handoff and defensive end Mark Anderson recovered it.
Chicago scored the next touchdown when Rex Grossman threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to receiver Muhsin Muhammad, giving his team a 14-6 lead. After forcing a punt, Chicago lost another turnover when Cedric Benson's fumble was recovered by Colts lineman Dwight Freeney on the Bears 43-yard line. Indianapolis subsequently advanced to the 36-yard line, but decided to punt rather than risk a 53-yard field goal attempt.
Following a Chicago punt, Indianapolis drove 47 yards and scored with Vinateiri's 29-yard field goal to make the score 14-9. Chicago was forced to punt again on their next drive. On the next Indianapolis drive, Dominic Rhodes took the ball to the end zone with three consecutive carries, the last, a 1-yard touchdown run to give his team a 16-14 lead with 6:09 left in the second quarter.
After another Chicago punt, the Colts advanced to the Bears 36-yard line before defensive back Charles Tillman ended the drive by forcing and recovering a fumble from receiver Bryan Fletcher. But on the next play, Grossman fumble a snap and defensive back Raheem Brock recovered the ball. Manning then led the Colts to Chicago's 17-yard line. With 2 seconds left, Vinateiri attempted a 36-yard field goal, but his kick sailed wide left and the score remained 16-14 at halftime.
Vinatieri redeemed himself in the second half, kicking two field goals in the third quarter to make the score 22-14. Chicago kicker Robbie Gould made a 44-yard field goal to cut the score to 22-17, but they were the last points Chicago would score in the game. On Chicago's next drive, Colts defensive back Kelvin Hayden intercepted a pass intended for Muhsin Muhammad and returned it 56 yards for a touchdown, to make the score 29-17.
The Colts managed to tame the Bears offense for the remainder of the game. Colts defensive back Bob Sanders intercepted Grossman's pass on the next Chicago drive. After trading possessions, Chicago got the ball back one last time with 1:42 in regulation, but it was not enough for Grossman.
Rhodes finished with 113 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Addai rushed for 77 yards and caught 10 passes for 66 yards. Wilkins returned 4 kickoffs for 183 yards and 3 punts for 42 yards. Jones was the Bears top rusher with 112 yards, while also catching 4 passes for 18 yards. Tight end Desmond Clark was the Bears top receiver with 6 receptions for 64 yards. Grossman completed 20 of 28 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown, with 2 interceptions. The Colts finished with 430 total net yards while the Bears only had 265.

Sicily was slowly getting back to normal on Sunday after a week-long strike paralysed the country’s petrol stations and supermarkets.
Reports say lorry drivers and farmers will continue peaceful protests but have lifted their blockades.
The so-called “Pitchfork Movement” opposes the rising cost of fuel, the result of Italy’s new austerity measures.

'''Życie na Sycylii (Włochy) powoli wraca do normy po trwającym tydzień strajku polegającym na blokadzie stacji benzynowych i supermarketów.'''
Przez tydzień rolnicy, rybacy, handlowcy i kierowcy blokowali główne drogi, porty, stacje benzynowe oraz supermarkety, aby zaprotestować przeciw rosnącym cenom paliw i wysokim podatkom. Protestujący twierdzą, że wysokie ceny paliw przekładają się na wysokie ceny żywności, co powoduje mniejszą sprzedaż i problemy z opłaceniem podatków przez przedsiębiorców.
Blokada rozpoczęła się 16 stycznia 2012 i objęła główne porty uniemożliwiając realizację dostaw do sklepów czy zaopatrzenie stacji benzynowych w paliwa. W efekcie już 19 stycznia na stacjach benzynowych brakowało paliw, a cena litra oleju skoczyła do 3 euro (średnia cena paliwa we Włoszech 22 stycznia 2012 wynosiła 1,727 euro ).
Strajk został nazwany "Ruchem wideł" (en: Pitchforks Movement, it: Movimento dei Forconi). W protstach przez cały tydzień brali głównie rolnicy, rybacy, handlowcy i kierowcy, choć ostatniego dnia (piątek, 20 stycznia 2012) w wielu miejscach Sycylii do demonstrujących dołączyli także studenci.
Protestujący zapowiadają kontynuację działań w pokojowej formie.

The haulers' and farmers' unrest in Sicily will last for five more days. In the meantime, Sicilians spend up to €3 a liter for gas.
The last five days have not been pretty for those Sicilians whose gas tanks were empty.
The strike organized by the so called “Movimento dei Forconi” (the “Pitchfork Movement”, a protest movement gathering Sicilian farmers), the haulers of the “Forza d’Urto” group, and AIAS (Associazione Imprese Autotrasportatori Sicilia – Sicily haulage companies association), with roadblocks and blockades in the island’s refineries and ports, has led to a lack of petrol at gas stations all over the island. Local bloggers today signaled that on the Messina-Catania highway the price of gas has jumped to €3 a liter.
Empty shelves in a grocery store The Movement's flag A roadblock in Sicily
Groceries are also becoming a scarce resource. Reportedly, in the Lentini area, bread and poultry stock are close to exhaustion, even though trucks bringing food, milk, livestock and medications shouldn’t be blocked by the demonstrants.
The Pitchfork Movement and Forza d’Urto are demonstrating to sensibilize the government on the unbearability of the economic crisis for the striking categories: haulers can’t afford gas, farmers can’t sell their products and they can’t grapple with increasing taxes.
The strike was meant to end tonight at midnight, as for haulers’ demonstrations the maximum duration allowed in Italy is five days, but AIAS has just announced an extension of five more days granted by the police. The movement has also joined forces with COSPA, Abruzzo stock-breeders’ association, to extend the strike to the Pescara area. Sardinian craftsmen and stock-breeders are also joining the protest, and announced a total roadblock on the island, starting next Tuesday.
The Pitchforks Movement has over 47,000 subscribers on Facebook. Among the supporters of the movement are a significant number of students, some of which actually joined the demonstrants today in various locations on the island.
President of Sicily Raffaele Lombardo supports the movement and its reasons, and announced to SkyTg24 that he will meet Prime Minister Monti next Wednesday to bring the demands of the Pitchforks and haulers to Rome, where they should be answered, but Ivan Lo Bianco, president of the local Confindustria (Industrials’ union), warns that behind the blockages and the strikes might be the long arm of mafia, as Cosa Nostra affiliates were spotted among the demonstrants, and there is a concrete risk that the organizations could gain a role in fueling the popular unrest.
To underline the uninvolvement of the Pitchforks with the mafia, the movement’s leader Martino Morsello is hunger striking for the second day, and he declared his availability to cooperate with Lo Bello and the police to investigate over the possibility of criminal infiltrations among the demonstrants and their implications.

'''Życie na Sycylii (Włochy) powoli wraca do normy po trwającym tydzień strajku polegającym na blokadzie stacji benzynowych i supermarketów.'''
Przez tydzień rolnicy, rybacy, handlowcy i kierowcy blokowali główne drogi, porty, stacje benzynowe oraz supermarkety, aby zaprotestować przeciw rosnącym cenom paliw i wysokim podatkom. Protestujący twierdzą, że wysokie ceny paliw przekładają się na wysokie ceny żywności, co powoduje mniejszą sprzedaż i problemy z opłaceniem podatków przez przedsiębiorców.
Blokada rozpoczęła się 16 stycznia 2012 i objęła główne porty uniemożliwiając realizację dostaw do sklepów czy zaopatrzenie stacji benzynowych w paliwa. W efekcie już 19 stycznia na stacjach benzynowych brakowało paliw, a cena litra oleju skoczyła do 3 euro (średnia cena paliwa we Włoszech 22 stycznia 2012 wynosiła 1,727 euro ).
Strajk został nazwany "Ruchem wideł" (en: Pitchforks Movement, it: Movimento dei Forconi). W protstach przez cały tydzień brali głównie rolnicy, rybacy, handlowcy i kierowcy, choć ostatniego dnia (piątek, 20 stycznia 2012) w wielu miejscach Sycylii do demonstrujących dołączyli także studenci.
Protestujący zapowiadają kontynuację działań w pokojowej formie.

Empeora el estado de salud de Ariel Sharón De 85 años, el exdirigente israelí sufrió en 2006, siendo aún primer ministro, una hemorragia cerebral que le llevó a un estado de coma permanente EFE JERUSALÉN Miércoles, 1 enero 2014, 23:06
Ariel Sharón, antiguo primer ministro de Israel. / Archivo
El estado de salud del ex primer ministro de Israel Ariel Sharon, en coma desde enero de 2006, se ha deteriorado significativamente, según fuentes consultadas por los medios israelíes y que han advertido de que su fallecimiento es "cuestión de días".
Sharon, de 85 años, está actualmente ingresado en un hospital Tel Hashomer de Tel Aviv y se encuentra en estado comatoso desde que sufrió una hemorragia cerebral el 4 de enero de 2006, poco después de volver al cargo de jefe de Gobierno.
Su situación ha empeorado en los últimos días, según informa 'Yedioth Ahronoth', que ha recordado que hace un mes Sharon ya precisó de una intervención quirúrgica de emergencia para insertar un tubo en su sistema digestivo.
El director del centro médico, Mordechai Ravid, ha apuntado al 'Yedioth' que la salud del ex primer ministro se ha debilitado por un fallo renal. "Entre los pacientes como Sharon siempre se produce una infección crónica que se extiende a los riñones y que le ha llevado a la situación crítica en la que se encuentra", ha explicado.
La familia del ex primer ministro permanece junto a él y mantiene conversaciones con el equipo médico, según 'Haaretz'. Las fuentes consultadas por este periódico han asegurado que el fallecimiento es "cuestión de días".

El próximo sábado, 4 de enero, se cumplirán ocho años desde que Ariel Sharón entró en coma profundo tras sufrir una hemorragia cerebral el 4 de enero de 2006, un día antes de que fuera a ser ingresado para someterse a una angioplastia mediante un cateterismo.
Por aquel entonces, acababa de crear un nuevo partido, el centro-derechista Kadima, a partir del derechista Likud, la formación que lideraba y que hoy dirige su entonces mayor oponente interno, el primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu.
Militar implacable, el jefe de Gobierno israelí entre 2001 y 2006 permanece en coma en el hospital de Tel Hashomer, cerca de Tel Aviv, donde fue trasladado cincos meses después de la hemorragia tras ser sometido a ocho intervenciones quirúrgicas -entre ellas la extracción de parte del intestino- en el Hospital Hadassa de Ein Karem, cerca de Jerusalén.
Su recuerdo todavía es sinónimo de controversia en Israel, donde muchos vinculan la toma de Gaza por el movimiento islamista Hamás en junio de 2007 con la retirada de la franja dos años antes conforme a un Plan de Desconexión.
Quien fuera portavoz de Sharón durante varios años, Raanan Gissin, considera que la actual "tragedia" es que "sus críticos más fieros, como Netanyahu, se han convertido en sus auténticos sucesores".
"Netanyahu no ha formado un Kadima, pero ha realineado su partido en el centro para permitirse tomar las decisiones que tiene tomar respecto al futuro de los palestinos", señaló Gissin al diario "The Jerusalem Post".
Por su parte, el ex viceprimer ministro Haim Ramon echa de menos a Sharón, pese a que reconoce que en ocasiones discrepaban.
"A veces teníamos nuestros más y nuestros menos. En sus últimos años tomó decisiones muy importantes: derrotó la segunda Intifada, ordenó la retirada de Gaza, pese a las dificultades y su propia biografía, y encendió una bomba política", explicó al rotativo "Yediot Aharonot".
Yosi Sarid, ex ministro y líder del partido de izquierdas Meretz, se muestra mucho menos condescendiente: "El hecho de que esté en coma no cambia mi opinión sobre él. Realmente no puedo decir nada bueno de él. Sharón quizás es el padrino de los pecados en la política israelí, tanto en lo personal como en lo general.
"En sus últimos días trató, a lo mejor por motivos que sólo él conoce de expiar sus culpas, pero sus pecados son demasiados graves", agregó.
Nacido en 1928 en el seno de una familia lituana en la cooperativa agrícola judía de Kfar Malal, en la entonces Palestina bajo protectorado británico, Sharón fue una figura polémica antes incluso de llegar al poder.
En 1953, un grupo de soldados a su mando perpetró la masacre de Qibya, en la que murieron 69 palestinos en ese poblado de la Cisjordania entonces bajo control jordano, varios de ellos hallados cadáver bajo los escombros de sus casas derribadas.
En 1983, una comisión israelí pidió su sustitución al frente del Ministerio de Defensa tras determinar que tuvo una responsabilidad personal indirecta en la masacre de los campos de refugiados palestinos de Sabra y Chatila, en el Líbano, efectuada en septiembre del año anterior por las milicias falangistas locales durante la ocupación israelí del sur del país de los cedros.
En septiembre de 2000, cuando lideraba la oposición israelí, una visita suya a la Explanada de las Mezquitas de Jerusalén, escoltado por un millar de policías, desencadenó el estallido de la Segunda Intifada palestina.
Sus defensores alaban su determinación y su capacidad de maniobra política, que le permitió presentarse como un líder fuerte dispuesto a defender a su país en los años más duros de atentados terroristas palestinos, pese a las críticas internacionales.

Le marché des journaux gratuits, pénalisé par la crise financière
La crise du secteur financier, qui s’est traduite par la baisse des recettes publicitaires et le resserrement du crédit, affecte le marché des journaux gratuits, ont constaté les participants à un sommet sur cette presse qui s’est ouvert mardi à Madrid en Espagne.
La presse gratuite souffre de la crise du secteur financier
Le New York Sun, alternative conservatrice au New York Times, a justement publié sa dernière édition mardi en raisons de difficultés financières. Le rédacteur en chef du New York Sun, Seth Lipsky, a indiqué dans un message aux employés du jornal que les efforts pour garantir le financement du quotidien avaient échoué.
Ici à Washington, un hebdomadaire gratuit, le City Paper, a lui aussi annoncé qu’il se plaçait sous la protection du chapitre 11 de la loi sur les faillites, ce qui lui donne un répit pour se réorganiser.
Les difficultés rencontrées par ces deux publications n’ont pas surpris les participants au premier Congrès mondial de la presse gratuite qui se déroule actuellement à Madrid et qui vise à redynamiser un secteur frappé de plein fouet par la crise économique.
Le secteur, qui représente 230 titres dans 58 pays et une diffusion totale quotidienne de 43 millions d'exemplaires, « est extrêmement vulnérable à la récession » a déclaré à l'ouverture de cette réunion de trois jours le professeur Piet Bakker, spécialiste des médias à l'Université d'Amsterdam, qui est cité par l’AFP.
Apparus dès les années 1980, les journaux gratuits ont connu leur essor suite à l’expansion d’Internet et l’explosion de media gratuits sur le Web. Ils ont eu pour modèle économique des investissements de départ compensés ensuite par des recettes publicitaires. Généralement de petite taille, ils sont facilement maniables et prisés par les jeunes.
Mais la crise du secteur financier, en réduisant les publicités, a frappé le secteur de plein fouet, d’autant que selon certains observateurs, il était arrivé à une phase de saturation.

A sorry excuse: Obama adviser makes lame apology for 9/11 conspiracy mess
This is an apology?
As we editorialized yesterday, Van Jones, the Obama green-jobs guru, has a lot of explaining to do about why he signed an insane 9/11 conspiracy theory petition back in 2004.
The 911Truth.org petition, bursting with lies and distortions, alleged the Bush administration "may have deliberately" allowed the attacks on our nation. Jones' was among 100 prominent names beneath the words, helping to give them heft and credibility.
Outrageous, especially since Jones spearheads President Obama's push to create renewable-energy jobs - and in that capacity has been readying a big campaign to "Green the Block" on none other than Sept. 11, now the National Day of Service.
Here's the mea-kinda-culpa Jones put out yesterday: "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever."
Wait: Did he sign it or not? If he doesn't agree with the views and did sign it, what could possibly have possessed him?
It was troubling enough that the White House was prepared to give an environmental volunteering effort a massive megaphone on Sept. 11, which should be reserved for a solemn remembrance of lives taken by terrorist thugs. It was more troubling when it turned out Jones gave credence to 9/11 lies.
And it is still more troubling that the man can now only muster a half-hearted, nondenial denial.
We're Jonesing for a real reckoning. If it doesn't come from the green-jobs guru, it'll have to come from his boss.

Van Jones.
Van Jones, the environmental jobs adviser to United States President Barack Obama, has resigned after what he calls a smear campaign against him.
It had recently been brought to light that Jones had signed a petition in 2004 that stated the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks and that only "white suburban boys" shot up schools like Columbine High school where in 1999, two boys shot and killed 13 people, then themselves while injuring a dozen others.
"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school," said Jones in 2005.
Jones had apologized for his past remarks last Friday, saying "if I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize." Jones also said that he did not agree with the 2004 petition saying, "As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever."

White House stands by 'truther' Van Jones
By Sam Youngman -
The White House would not say whether the White House's green-jobs czar, who has been linked to Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists, continues to enjoy the confidence of the president, but an official said he is still a part of the administration.
Van Jones, the president's special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), has come under fire this week for using an obscenity to describe Republicans and for signing a petition to get Congress to investigate whether the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were an inside government job.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs would only say Friday that Jones, no stranger to controversial or offensive statements, is still a part of the administration. He declined to say if Jones still has the confidence of the president.In a meeting with reporters in his West Wing office, Gibbs referred numerous questions about Jones to the CEQ and a statement Jones released Thursday saying he did not agree with the petition signed by so-called "truthers."Gibbs did say the president disagrees with those statements as well.

Car accident halts live German TV show
Koch was wearing spring-powered stilts known as "powerbocks"
A live TV game show in Dusseldorf, Germany was halted on Saturday mid-broadcast after a contestant was severely injured in a stunt.
Samuel Koch was hurt when he tried to jump over a moving car driven by his father on Wetten, Dass? (Wanna Bet?).
Canadian singer Justin Bieber was due to appear on the show after the stunt.
"Please pray for Samuel Koch and his family as we wait and hope for his health and safety," he told his followers on Twitter.
Robbie Williams and Phil Collins had also been due to appear on the show, according to its website.
'Critical stage'
Koch, 23, underwent surgery on Sunday after he suffered multiple back injuries and fractures the previous night.
Dr Wolfgang Raab of Dusseldorf Hospital told German news agency DPAD that Koch was "in an extremely critical stage".
Bieber, 16, added on Twitter that he was sorry he could not perform in Germany but "some things are more important than putting on a show."
Wetten, Dass? has been running for nearly 30 years and regularly draws audiences of about 10 million.

Justin Bieber was due to appear on the same episode of the show
A man was seriously injured yesterday after a stunt went wrong during a live game show in Germany. Samuel Koch, 23, suffered injuries to his neck and back after he failed to jump over a car being driven by his father on the show (Wanna bet?). The show was halted after the accident for the first time in the show's history.
A spokesperson at Dusseldorf University Hospital commented on Koch's condition. He said Koch was "in an extremely critical stage" and warned that he was showing "signs of paralysis".
Koch was attempting to jump over five moving cars using spring-powered stilts known as "". He jumped over the first three but hit the fourth vehicle and crashed to the floor.
Several celebrities were due to perform on the show after the stunt had taken place. Canadian singer Justin Bieber was one of those due to appear. He cancelled his appearance after the accident and released a statement through his Twitter page. The singer said "some things are more important than putting on a show." He also sent his wishes to Koch saying, "Please pray for Samuel Koch and his family as we wait and hope for his health and safety."
Wetten, dass..? has been running for 29 years and is shown several times each year. The show features members of the public performing stunts on which the celebrity guests predict the outcome. The show has been known as a family friendly show, however, a German newspaper has questioned whether the show is suitable for children after the accident.
said, "Since Saturday evening, finally, parents have to think seriously about whether Wetten Dass…? represents an appropriate format for children. It was not really foreseeable that many children would be watching as a contestant sustained life-threatening injuries but there has always been an element of risk surrounding the program."
The producers of the show have announced that the programme will continue to broadcast despite the accident. Thomas Bellut, the programme director of the television station, made the announcement . Bellut told a public radio station, "'Wetten, dass' will certainly continue." He did defend the show's safety standards saying, "We will boost our safety standards once again although we were always of the opinion that they could hardly be more stringent."

After a contestant was seriously injured in a live stunt on a popular German TV show, there are questions about the level of risk employed to push up viewer ratings. The injured man could be paralyzed, doctors say.
Critics have questioned the level of risk - and the push for ratings - that meant one of Germany's most popular television programs had to be pulled off air when a contestant was seriously injured.
A spokesperson at Dusseldorf University Hospital revealed Sunday that the participant, 23-year-old Samuel Koch, was showing "signs of paralysis" with serious spinal cord and neck vertebrae damage.
Koch was injured while taking part in the popular family show "Wetten, dass…?" ("Wanna bet?"), aired by public broadcaster ZDF. He attempted to jump over five oncoming cars using spring-powered stilts live on air. However, he was struck by the fourth vehicle he attempted to clear, and was left motionless and face-down on the floor.
Questions have now been raised over the evaluation of risks posed to participants, who carry out daring feats - the outcome of which is betted upon by celebrity guests.
"We have to talk about certain issues," said Kurt Beck, chairman of ZDF's governing body. "When was the boundary of responsibility crossed? How much risk should be involved?" said Beck.
Present as an eyewitness at the event, Hannelore Kraft, the president of Germany's upper house of parliament the Bundesrat, expressed her reaction at what had happened to Koch.
"I was shocked and upset and then I prayed," she told the German daily newspaper Rheinische Post's Monday edition. "We all worry with his family and hope that he gets well again soon," said Kraft, who is state premier North-Rhine Westphalia, where the accident took place.
German daily and Sunday newspapers were awash with commentaries in response to the accident.
Not so family friendly
The Rheinische Post asked if the show could still really claim to have a family-friendly format.
"Since Saturday evening, finally, parents have to think seriously about whether Wetten Dass…? represents an appropriate format for children."
"It was not really foreseeable that many children would be watching as a contestant sustained life-threatening injuries but there has always been an element of risk surrounding the program."
'Is this public broadcasting?'
The Braunschweiger Zeitung said that television in which such risks were taken to increase viewer ratings did not perform a broadcasting role.
"If the publicly-funded organizations chase ratings so senselessly, why do we need publically financed television?" the newspaper asked.
The Frankfurter Rundschau was a little more philosophical in its interpretation of events.
"For ZDF, with its desire to produce family entertainment, the accident is a disaster. However, for viewers and potential copycats, this accident filmed live on camera also carries an important lesson. It is not possible to dabble with extremes without danger."
Pop act Take That and teen heartthrob Justin Bieber had been due to appear on the show, which was taken off the air shortly after the accident. Koch had been using special jumping devices known as "powerbocks," after their German inventor Alexander Boeck, to jump over the cars.

» Stunt goes horribly wrong on German prime-time TV BERLIN - The producers of one of Germany's most popular TV programmes said Monday the show would go on despite a horrific accident during a live broadcast watched by millions. Contestant slams face-down into the ground, lies motionless
Click on thumbnail to view For more photos, click here "Wetten, dass...?" ("Wanna bet?"), shown on public channel ZDF six or seven times each year, sees members of the public attempt daring feats, interspersed with celebrity chat, and regularly attracts some 10 million viewers. ZDF programme director Thomas Bellut said the show would now do more to protect its contestants after 23-year-old Samuel Koch suffered serious spine injuries during a prime-time broadcast Saturday. "'Wetten, dass' will certainly continue," he told public radio. "We will boost our safety standards once again although we were always of the opinion that they could hardly be more stringent." During the live show from the western city of Duesseldorf, Koch had attempted to leap lengthways over a moving car wearing spring-loaded stilts. But he crash landed and was next seen lying motionless face-down on the floor as the audience looked on in horror. Host Thomas Gottschalk called off the show, a national institution, for the first time in its 29-year history as Koch was rushed to hospital. ZDF said Sunday that Koch had suffered "serious spinal injuries" and been put into an artificial coma after doctors operated on him for two and a half hours. A hospital spokeswoman said Monday that he was still in a critical condition. Critics say the show's stunts have become more and more dangerous over the years as ZDF has battled for viewers. "Even if the contestant gets better, as hopefully he will, there will definitely be consequences from this accident," the influential Spiegel magazine said on its website. "We need to see how we will change the rules for contestants so that something like this never happens again," Bellut acknowledged. But he denied that a race for top ratings had made the show reckless. "The pressure for ratings does not make us say that we will be successful at any cost," Bellut said. "Whether we have one or two million viewers more or less is not a decisive factor for us." Tweet

AMERYKANIE: NIE WIADOMO CZY TO AUTENTYCZNE NAGRANIE
Osama bin Laden wziął odpowiedzialność za próbę zamachu na samolot linii lotniczych Northwest Airlines z 25 grudnia minionego roku - informuje Al Jazeera, która wyemitowała nagranie przywódcy Al-Kaidy. Czy nagranie jest autentyczne nie mógł potwierdzić doradca Białego Domu David Axelrod.
Zakładając, że to on (bin Laden), jego posłanie zawiera te same puste usprawiedliwienia rzezi niewinnych, które już słyszeliśmy - powiedział Axelrod. I dodał: - Ironia polega na tym, że w imieniu islamu zabił on (bin Laden) więcej muzułmanów niż wyznawców innych religii. Jest mordercą i będziemy nadal w ofensywie przeciwko bin Ladenowi, przeciwko Al-Kaidzie, żeby chronić naród amerykański David Axelrod Zakładając, że to on (bin Laden), jego posłanie zawiera te same puste usprawiedliwienia rzezi niewinnych, które już słyszeliśmy - powiedział Axelrod.

Najbardziej poszukiwany terrorysta świata powiedział, że przesłanie, które towarzyszyło nieudanej próbie zamachu przeprowadzonej przez "bohaterskiego wojownika Umara Faruka Abdulmutallaba" (Niegryjczyk, który próbował wysadzić samolot - red.), było "potwierdzeniem poprzednich przesłań nadanych przez bohaterów z 11 września (2001 r.)".Osama Bin Laden ostrzegł też amerykańskiego prezydenta Baracka Obamę. Jak powiedział przywódca Al-Kaidy, ataki ugrupowania będą kontynuowane tak długo, jak długo Stany Zjednoczone popierają Izrael. - Ameryka nie będzie marzyć o bezpieczeństwie, dopóki my nie będziemy go mieli naprawdę w Palestynie - oświadczył.Al Jazeera twierdzi, że nagranie powstało prawdopodobnie w ubiegłym miesiącu.Ani autentyczności nagrania ani odpowiedzialności Al-Kaidy za próbę zamachu nie mógł potwierdzić doradca Białego Domu David Axelrod w rozmowie ze stacją CNN.- Ale zakładając, że to on (bin Laden), jego posłanie zawiera te same puste usprawiedliwienia rzezi niewinnych, które już słyszeliśmy - powiedział Axelrod.

BERLIN, May 4 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich secured their 21st German league title and completed a domestic double for the third time in four seasons when they drew 0-0 away to VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday. Bayern's draw stretched their lead over closest rivals Werder Bremen to 10 points with three games left and set off the traditionally soggy celebrations, as the players soaked each other, and anyone else on the field, with beer. 'It's a special achievement,' outgoing coach Ottmar Hitzfeld told reporters between soakings. 'There was a lot of expectation and the pressure was enormous but now we've done it.' The Bavarian club's 20th title since the Bundesliga era began in 1963 follows their German Cup final victory over Borussia Dortmund in Berlin last month. Their only other German Championship success came back in 1932. Bayern played poorly on Sunday against Wolfsburg, who missed the chance to keep them waiting for the title when Grafite burst through on goal in the final minute only to shoot five metres wide. With 31 games played, Bayern lead with 67 points, followed by Werder on 57 after their 2-0 win over Energie Cottbus on Saturday. Schalke 04 are two points further back in the third and final Champions League place after a 1-1 draw at home to Hanover 96. 'All in all it's been a fantastic season,' club president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Premiere TV before being drenched in traditional Bavarian Weissbier by midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger. 'We played great football and took a big step forward this season.' 'And Bastian is going up for sale,' he joked in an aside. DOMESTIC BLISS Bayern were humiliated 4-0 in their UEFA Cup semi-final second leg against Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday, dashing their hopes of a treble in Hitzfeld's final season before he makes way for incoming coach Juergen Klinsmann. That heavy defeat should not take too much away from what was a near perfect domestic season for a team inspired by the artistry of midfielder Franck Ribery and the brutal efficiency of Luca Toni up front. Bayern, who finished outside the Champions League places last season, started the campaign with a 3-0 win at home to Hansa Rostock and they have not relinquished the lead in the table all season. They have lost just twice in the league so far, and boast the top scorer in the Italian striker Toni, who has bagged 21 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches in his debut season in Germany. Ribery, the French playmaker signed from Olympique Marseille for 30 million euros, has been a delight to watch, while Oliver Kahn has proved in his final season at the club, and at the age of 38, that he remains one of the world's best keepers.

APEC Leaders wave for the media dressed in Driza-Bones in Sydney.
APEC Leaders dress in Driza-Bones to represent Australia's costume.
Leaders attending the APEC summit in Sydney, Australia have worn Driza-Bone coats for their traditional group photo in front of the Sydney Opera House. In APEC tradition, leaders wear attire which draws inspiration from the host nation's national costume.
Australia's choice was made by Prime Minister John Howard and his wife Janette. Australia does not have a national costume. In an APEC statement it was revealed that Driza-Bone had been consulted to produce an outfit that "captures the essence of Australia's culture and environment."
"Driza-Bone coats were born over 100 years ago when a sailor fashioned waterproof coats out of windjammer sails for protection against the harsh Australian trade winds," the statement said.
"These coats were also perfect for people working on the vast Australian continent and have since been adapted into the perfect riding and outback attire."
The custom-made knee-length coats worn by the leaders were the traditional dark brown of all Driza-Bones and had differing colours for the lapels and linings - slate blue for Australia's vast coastline, mustard yellow for the sun and sand; red ochre for the outback and eucalyptus green for the bush. Leaders were given the choice over which highlight colour they wanted.
The choice of costume was a closely guarded secret by Australia officials, with speculation rife throughout the media. It has been suggested that the costume could include "budgie smugglers" (male swimwear)- and thongs (flip flops) to represent the beach;blue singlets and shorts favoured by labourers or khaki gear in memory of Steve Irwin.
The group photo is said to be one of the most anticipated parts of the APEC summit, with people wanting to see which leader looks the "silliest". In the past leaders have been dressed in silk tunics, leather bomber jackets and Batik-print shirts.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asia-Pacific leaders dressed for the weather on Saturday, posing for the annual APEC “class photo” in Australian stockman’s raincoats on a brisk, overcast early spring day in Sydney.

The final photo-shoot of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum has always provided a flamboyant sidelight to the usually dry affairs, when presidents, prime ministers and even a sultan don the host country’s national dress with varying degrees of aplomb.
The outdoorsmen in the group, U.S. President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin, looked the part in the dark brown, knee-length, rain-proof coats with collars trimmed in various colours (Bush in blue, Putin in green).
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should probably donate hers to charity.
The leaders were also given bushmen’s hats to wear, but only Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper put one on.
Then came the moment the 200-strong press corps was waiting for: the wave.
Someone shouted for the leaders to wave, and they all dutifully did so -- using their right hands, except Bush who waved a bit self-consciously with his left.
Previous “funny shirt photo ops” at APEC summits have included Chilean ponchos, Chinese silk jackets, Indonesian batik shirts, and American “bomber” jackets. Last year, they wore Vietnamese ao dai silk tunics.
Howard had kept the choice of national dress a secret until the leaders trooped out of the Sydney Opera House after their morning summit in the “Driza-bone” coats (which keep you dry as a bone).
Howard had only said the leaders wouldn’t come out in Speedo swimming trunks, otherwise known as “budgie smugglers”, a common sight on Australian beaches and certainly not appropriate for the weather.
“I don’t think I’d do that. That wouldn’t be very diplomatic,” he said.

World leaders look sheepish in Aussie coats
(AFP) – Sep 8, 2007
SYDNEY (AFP) — They were saved the embarrassment of looking like Crocodile Dundee or surf lifesavers but world leaders at the APEC summit looked slightly sheepish dressed as rugged Australian farmers.
Wearing big, all-weather oilskin coats, the 21 presidents, prime ministers and regional leaders appeared resigned as they faced the cameras for the traditional 'funny shirt' photograph in the host country's national costume.
The brown, knee-length modified Driza-bone coats, normally favoured by horse-riding stockmen mustering sheep, were at least suited to the rainy Sydney weather on the first day of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting.
The choice of outfit for the leaders, who include US President George W. Bush, China's President Hu Jintao and diminutive Philippines President Gloria Arroyo, had been kept secret in line with the often-mocked sartorial tradition.
Past APEC summit photos have seen the world's most powerful people dressed in everything from brightly-coloured wedding shirts in Mexico to leather bomber jackets in Canada and Batik-print shirts in Indonesia.
But it was apparently the calf-length silk dresses, which came with an optional turban, offered at last year's APEC meeting in Vietnam which were the last straw for leaders such as Howard, normally a more conservative dresser.
Media speculation on the possible options had run wild in recent weeks, ranging from "budgie smugglers" -- scant male swimwear -- and thongs (flip flops) to khaki shirts and shorts in memory of late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin.
But Howard, aided by his wife Janette, chose a less elaborate outfit to represent Australia, which does not have a national costume.
The only touch of bright colour on the coats, which also had an APEC emblem, were the lapels which were red, blue, yellow and green to represent Australia's dusty deserts, rugged coastlines, fine sands and vast bush.
"The coat aims to depict Australia's unique culture and environment in a wearable and usable coat," APEC organisers said.
A cowboy hat, such as that worn by the archetypal Aussie bushman in the 'Crocodile Dundee' movies, was also given to leaders. But only Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper donned his rabbit skin Akubra and even he whipped it off when it came time for the photograph in front of Sydney Opera House.
Harper, like Bush, Japanese President Shinzo Abe and six other leaders, chose the most popular colour for his coat's lapels, blue.
Six leaders, including those of South Korea, New Zealand and Vietnam, picked the yellow option while Howard himself selected red, as did Communist China's Hu. Only Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hong Kong's chief executive Donald Tsang chose green.
The group photo is usually taken at the end of the two-day summit but was this year brought forward to accommodate Bush's early departure for the release of a crucial White House report to the US Congress on the war in Iraq.
The US leader, who walked out for the shoot deep in conversation with New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, appeared confused about where to stand for the carefully arranged photo, apparently thinking he would be in the middle.
He eventually found his place on the end, next to Thai leader Surayud Chulanont, who he reached over to shake hands with Putin.
The US commander in chief also appeared out of step when the group was asked by the photographer to wave -- being the only leader to raise his left hand instead of his right.

Each APEC leader was given a choice of four contrast colours for their all-weather coat slate blue, mustard yellow, red ochre and eucalyptus green. John Howard wore red ochre as did China's Hu Jintao. Russia's Vladimir Putin selected eucalyptus green. US President George Bush - who leaves Sydney later today - wore blue and New Zealand's Helen Clark chose mustard.
"Driza-Bone was selected to design a national outfit that captures the essence of Australia's culture and environment and reflects the spirit and style of our island home,'' the Government said in a statement. "Driza-Bone coats were born over 100 years ago when a sailor fashioned waterproof coats out of windjammer sails for protection against the harsh Australian trade winds," the statement said. "These coats were also perfect for people working on the vast Australian continent and have since been adapted into the perfect riding and outback attire."
APEC spokeswoman Anne Fulwood told the Herald: "The colours have been chosen to represent the quintessential Australian environment slate blue for Australia's vast coastline, mustard yellow representing the sun and the sand, red ochre is the colour of the outback and eucalyptus green is the colour of the Australian bush." The leaders had lunch today at Guillaume at Bennelong next to the Opera House.
The menu included Barramundi with endives, mushrooms, pearl of vegetables, yabbies, scallops and a light ginger emulsion followed by roasted saddle of lamb with field mushrooms, kipfler potatoes, confit of tomato and thyme jus and a selection of Australian fruit and cheese.
Lunch was washed down with wines from regional Australia including 2004 Mount Pleasant Maurice O'Shea and 2004 Tyrells Vat 47 from the Hunter Valley. The official dinner will be held inside the Opera House. The Tracey Wan Quartet is scheduled to perform as they dine on a feast of rolled yellow fin tuna, Western Australian yabbies and Sterling caviar and Grainge Angus Black Label Wagyu Beef striploin and on a bed of ratatouille and salsa verde.
The dinner wine list includes 2006 Cullen Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, 2004 Tarrawarra Chardonnay, 2004 Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz, 2005 Stonier Reserve Pinot Noir and 2007 Mt Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling will be served. Vanilla and nougatine semifreddo and raspberries and candied orange will be served for desert. The leaders also received a gift pack of Australian art, jewellery and an Akubra hat. Mr Howard has given each leader three limited-edition prints selected with the assistance of the National Gallery of Australia. One of the works, by the Sydney artist Peter Kingston, is of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House the backdrop for today's photo
The others are a rural scene by Pamela Griffith and an Arnhem Land print by Tim Djandjomerr. The package of gifts include a hand-crafted pin designed by Sydney's Margaret Kirkwood, based on an interpretation of the APEC logo.The gift pack includes cards signed by Mr Howard and his wife Janette and information about the artists. The leaders also receive an emu and kangaroo skin folder. The female spouses have been given a gold broach in the shape of a sprig of wattle featuring a black opal.

O setor portuário brasileiro cresceu 4,2% em 2020 em relação a 2019. O crescimento foi resultado da movimentação de 1,151 bilhão de toneladas. Os dados são do estudo Estatístico Aquaviário do ano de 2020, divulgado nesta segunda-feira (1°) pela Agência Nacional de Transportes Aquaviários (Antaq).
O ministro da Infraestrutura, Tarcísio Freitas, comentou o resultado. “Isso é extremamente gratificante. É muito bom perceber que nós conseguimos apresentar respostas depois de um ano tão difícil, onde o mundo, não só o Brasil, foi acometido por uma crise”, afirmou o ministro. E completou: “conseguimos enfrentar a doença com a logística funcionando. Esse resultado exigiu, sobretudo, atuação rápida, precisa, capacidade de antecipação aos problemas”.
Foram avaliadas as principais atividades dos Portos Organizados, que são os públicos, e os Terminais de Uso Privado (TUPs). Os portos privados movimentaram 760 milhões de toneladas de produtos. Já os portos organizados, 391 milhões de toneladas.
Em relação aos granéis sólidos, 688,9 milhões de toneladas foram movimentadas em 2020, um crescimento de 1,2%. Sobre os granéis líquidos, foram 289,5 milhões de toneladas, com crescimento de 14,8%.
Insumos
O gerente de Estatística e Avaliação de Desempenho, da Antaq, Fernando Serra, destacou que o crescimento no setor portuário continuou mesmo em um ano em que o mundo conviveu com a Covid-19. Segundo ele, isso se deveu ao tipo de produtos que mais foram movimentados durante o período.
“Minério de ferro, soja e milho, bem como os insumos para o plantio das safras. Essas cargas possuem grande peso no resultado do crescimento na movimentação. Elas não sofreram com a Covid-19, pois os contratos de exportação são feitos no longo prazo, fazendo com que os embarques dessas mercadorias sejam contínuos, mesmo com a situação de crise”, observou Fernando Serra.
Cargas mais movimentadas
O minério de ferro foi a carga sólida de destaque para o setor portuário em 2020. No total, foram movimentadas 356 milhões de toneladas. Em seguida está o petróleo e derivados, com 262 milhões de toneladas.
Na terceira posição ficaram os contêineres, totalizando 118,2 milhões de toneladas. E na quarta posição, a soja com 104,2 milhões de toneladas.
Portos
O porto por onde passou o maior volume de cargas foi o de Santos (SP). Foram movimentadas 114,4 milhões de toneladas de cargas. Em segundo lugar está o Porto de Paranaguá (PR), com 52,1 milhões de toneladas. A terceira posição foi ocupada pelo Porto de Itaguaí (RJ), somando 45,7 milhões de toneladas.
Acrescentando-se os terminais autorizados, que formam o complexo portuário, ao Porto Organizado de Santos, tem-se a movimentação total de 141,7 milhões de toneladas, com crescimento equivalente a 9,4%.
Entre os portos privados, o Terminal Marítimo da Ponta da Madeira (MA) teve a maior movimentação em 2020 com 191 milhões de toneladas de minério de ferro, 16,6% de toda carga movimentada no Brasil. Em segundo, o Terminal Aquaviário de Angra dos Reis (RJ) com 60 milhões de toneladas em óleos brutos de petróleo. Na terceira posição, o Terminal de Tubarão (SC): 56 milhões de toneladas, divididos em minério de ferro (87%), Soja (7,4%) e Milho (2,1%).

O setor portuário brasileiro cresceu 4,2% em 2020 em relação a 2019. O crescimento foi resultado da movimentação de 1,151 bilhão de toneladas. Os dados são do estudo Estatístico Aquaviário do ano de 2020, divulgado nesta segunda-feira (1°) pela (Antaq).
O ministro da Infraestrutura, , comentou o resultado. “Isso é extremamente gratificante. É muito bom perceber que nós conseguimos apresentar respostas depois de um ano tão difícil, onde o mundo, não só o Brasil, foi acometido por uma crise”, afirmou o ministro. E completou: “conseguimos enfrentar a doença com a logística funcionando. Esse resultado exigiu, sobretudo, atuação rápida, precisa, capacidade de antecipação aos problemas”.
Foram avaliadas as principais atividades dos Portos Organizados, que são os públicos, e os Terminais de Uso Privado (TUPs). Os portos privados movimentaram 760 milhões de toneladas de produtos. Já os portos organizados, 391 milhões de toneladas.
Em relação aos granéis sólidos, 688,9 milhões de toneladas foram movimentadas em 2020, um crescimento de 1,2%. Sobre os granéis líquidos, foram 289,5 milhões de toneladas, com crescimento de 14,8%.
O gerente de Estatística e Avaliação de Desempenho, da Antaq, Fernando Serra, destacou que o crescimento no setor portuário continuou mesmo em um ano em que o mundo conviveu com a Covid-19. Segundo ele, isso se deveu ao tipo de produtos que mais foram movimentados durante o período.
“Minério de ferro, soja e milho, bem como os insumos para o plantio das safras. Essas cargas possuem grande peso no resultado do crescimento na movimentação. Elas não sofreram com a Covid-19, pois os contratos de exportação são feitos no longo prazo, fazendo com que os embarques dessas mercadorias sejam contínuos, mesmo com a situação de crise”, observou Fernando Serra.

Both pilots of a U.S. Navy fighter jet that crashed into a densely populated Virginia Beach, Va. neighbourhood were released from hospital Saturday as officials worked to recover the aircraft's electronic data record.
The F-18 Hornet, similar to fighter aircraft flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force, burst into a ball of flames in the courtyard of an apartment complex Friday destroying up to 40 units. But, in what some have called a miracle, only seven people including the pilots were injured.
The airmen were from Naval Air Station Oceana, less than 20 kilometres away from the scene of the crash. Both pilots lived in Virginia Beach.
A senior Navy officer thanked city officials, emergency responders and citizens at a media briefing near the crash site Saturday.
"It was a pretty amazing display in Virginia Beach of what citizenship really means and it came from an awful lot of people who didn't have an awful lot . . . so I stand in awe of the people here," said Admiral John Harvey, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command based in Norfolk.
Harvey was commending residents who helped pull the pilots to safety and assist emergency responders battle the blaze that followed.
Three people missing from the complex were found safe Saturday morning and fire crews say they aren't looking for anyone else at this point.
Harvey said the Navy is coordinating with local officials to get into the crash site to begin an investigation into what happened.
Experts will also begin work to recover the equivalent of the aircraft's "black boxes," which monitor the plane's mechanical functions and conversations in the cockpit.
What remains of the aircraft will be removed from the site and taken to a hangar on the naval base for a detailed examination, Harvey said.
"We'll get the data recorders from the aircraft . . . it's going to take weeks to put this all together as you might expect . . . a lot of those parts are scattered around and are very, very small and we have to examine all of them," he said.
Harvey also expressed confidence in the skills and knowledge of the aircraft crew, whose names haven't been released.
"They hung with that aircraft until the last possible moment trying to recover the aircraft and get it to safety,"
he said. "We'll find out whatever happened and we will fix whatever went wrong," he added.
The fighter jet was being piloted by a student and a trainer when the aircraft lost power over Virginia's most populated city. The men ejected moments before the jet crashed.
"Catastrophic engine system failure right after takeoff, which is always the most critical phase of flying, leaves very, very few options," aviation safety expert and decorated pilot J.F. Joseph told The Associated Press.
"You literally run out of altitude, air speed and ideas all at the same time," he said.
The two-seat jet had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn't clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional manoeuvre by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command.
Witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area.
The plane not having as much fuel on board "mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire," Virginia Beach EMS division Chief Bruce Nedelka said.
"With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been."
While Joseph agreed the fuel loss could have been tied to the malfunction, he added, "I would say every action they took was an attempt to mitigate damage on the ground, up to and including the loss of life."
The aircraft can carry up to 3,640 kilograms (8,000 lbs) of jet fuel, Joseph said.
The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world.
Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot following the crash.
Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window. He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friend's home.
"I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood," Smith told WVEC-TV.
"The pilot said, ‘I'm sorry for destroying your house'."
Smith said he and another man helped the pilot onto the street.

Navy jet crashes into Va, apartments, pilots eject
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A fighter jet that malfunctioned just after takeoff hurtled into a Virginia Beach apartment complex on Friday in a spectacular crash that sent flames and black smoke billowing from the rubble.
The two pilots managed to eject just before impact, suffering minor injuries along with five others on the ground. Several residents described hearing a loud explosion and looking out their windows to see the red and orange blaze. In the confusion that followed, two men helped one of the bloodied pilots from the two-seat F18 Hornet move to safety.
"Oh, my God, I heard three really loud explosions, then the black smoke went up high in the sky," said 71-year-old Felissa Ezell, who lives in a townhouse near the crash site.
By evening, emergency crews were searching through the charred remains of the complex, where some 40 apartment units were damaged or destroyed. No fatalities had been reported.
Seven people, including the pilots from nearby Naval Air Station Oceana, were taken to a hospital. All except one of the pilots were released by late afternoon.
Virginia Beach Fire Department Capt. Tim Riley said three residents remained unaccounted for late Friday.
"We don't know if we have working cell numbers, if they've traveled," Riley said. "We don't know if people are staying with other people."
He said crews had done an exhaustive search of about 95 percent of the apartment complex and would continue searching throughout the night.
"We consider ourselves very fortunate," he said.
The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn't clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command. He said investigators will try to determine what happened. The jet went down less than 10 miles from Oceana.
Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, said witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area.
The plane not having as much fuel on board "mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire," Nedelka said. "With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been."
The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F/A-18D that crashed was assigned, is located in Virginia Beach. Both the pilots were from Virginia Beach, Weisgerber said.
The pilots included a student and an instructor. Weisgerber said he did not know how many times the student pilot had been in the air, but that the instructor was "extremely experienced."
Dozens of police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled the densely populated neighborhood where the plane crashed. Yellow fire hoses snaked through side streets as fire crews poured water on the charred rooftops of brick apartment houses. By late afternoon, the fire had been put out.
Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot.
Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window. He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friend's home.
"I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood," Smith told WVEC-TV.
"The pilot said, 'I'm sorry for destroying your house.'"
Smith said he and another man helped the pilot onto the street.
Patrick Kavanaugh, who lives in the complex where the jet crashed, opened up his sliding glass door after hearing a loud explosion and saw one of the jet's pilots on the ground with blood on his face. Kavanaugh said the pilot, whom he described as a "young boy," was very upset and apologetic.
"The poor guy was in shock. I checked for broken bones and opened wounds," said Kavanaugh, who spent 23 years in the rescue squad and retired in 1996.
Despite having suffered several heart attacks and open-heart surgery, Kavanaugh said his old rescue skills kicked in as he dragged the pilot around the corner and away from the fire before several other explosions occurred.
As authorities closed roads in the neighborhood, traffic backed up on side streets and on nearby Interstate 264, with slow-moving columns of vehicles bringing drivers to a virtual standstill early Friday afternoon.
Charles Bisbee Jr., 70, said he wasn't sure what kind of damage his family will find when they are able to return home from the relief shelter at a school a few miles away. One of his sons, Charles III, is wheelchair bound and needs a place to rest, along with some medical supplies.
"We were going to give my son lunch, and just heard this crash, then another crash, then something exploded," Bisbee said. "We got outside, and the pilot was laying on the ground with his chute on."
He said some bystanders ran over and cut the parachute cords and tended to the pilot, "a young guy, and he was upset."
A fighter jet crashed in December 2008 while returning to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar after a training exercise in a San Diego neighborhood. That crash killed four members of one family and destroyed two homes.
The Marine Corps said the jet suffered a mechanical failure, but a series of bad decisions led the pilot — a student — to bypass a potentially safe landing at a coastal Navy base after his engine failed. The pilot ejected and told investigators he screamed in horror as he watched the jet plow into the neighborhood, incinerating two homes. A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to pay the family nearly $18 million in restitution.
Most flights from Naval Air Station Oceana are training flights, Weisgerber said.
"This is where the Navy teaches our F18 pilots for the very first time in flee-representative aircraft," he said.

Captain Mark Wisberger says that the F-18 that crashed was on a training flight, and shortly after takeoff the plane suffered "catastrophic mechanical malfunction."
MSNBC TV A military jet burns shortly after crashing into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach, Va., on Friday around noon. The aircraft went down in the sprawling resort town shortly after it took off, the Navy said.
Updated at 9:45 p.m. ET: Emergency crews extinguished fires and were combing rubble at a cluster of apartments in Virginia Beach, Va., Friday after a Navy F/A-18 jet crashed into the complex, destroying two buildings and damaging several others, authorities and witnesses said.
Seven people, including the two pilots, were taken to a hospital, officials said. By Friday evening, all the injured except one pilot were treated and released, officials said. None of the injuries were life threatening and no fatalities were reported.
Firefighters at the complex had not been able to get in touch with three residents, who are being classified as "unaccounted for," however they were not being considered "missing," NBC News reported on Friday evening.
The crash was caused by a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" that forced the two pilots to eject, Capt. Mark Weisgerber, deputy commodore of Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic, said at a news conference. He said the pilots were a student and an experienced instructor. He said he didn't want to speculate on the specifics of the malfunction.
One pilot was briefly tangled at the crash site and had to be freed from the wreckage by residents, David Schleck, assistant city editor at the Virginia Pilot, told msnbc cable television.
"(The pilot) was snagged on the burning building," said Schleck. "They actually cut him free from the building and then emergency crews showed up a little bit later and were able to get him a safe distance from the burning building."
A Navy official told NBC News that both pilots were taken to a hospital to be checked out.
"They were ambulatory," the official told NBC.
The buildings were in the Mayfair Mews Apartments, about four miles northeast of the Naval Air Station Oceana, where the jet had taken off. Virginia Beach, about 400 miles south of Washington, D.C., on the Atlantic coast, is a major military center as well as vacation destination.
Cmdr. Phil Rosi of the Navy said the two-seat jet fighter crashed about 12:05 p.m. shortly after takeoff. The jet was assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 106 at the base, he said.
Witness accounts of the jet dumping fuel before the crash suggest that the pilots had averted a worse disaster, according to Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, who spoke to The Associated Press.
Capt. Mark Wisberger says the F-18 that crashed was on a training flight when it suffered "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" shortly after takeoff.
"By doing so, he mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire," Nedelka said. "With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been," he said.
The Navy's Weisgerber said it wasn't clear whether the dump was intentional or a result of the jet's malfunction.
Emergency officials said some 40 apartments were damaged or destroyed in the crash.
Witnesses described a frightening scene as they saw the aircraft plummet toward the ground.
John Swain told msnbc TV he was driving, coming off Interstate 264 to head north. "The plane came right over us and was clearly in difficulty," he said. "There was flames coming off the back. … The plane got lower and lower and just as I turned … it crashed."
He said the jet apparently crashed into what looked like a two-story apartment building.
"Within five seconds of it going down I was at the building where it hit," Swain said.
Ernie Gonzalez, who is retired military, was sitting on the front porch of his daughter-in-law’s house behind the base where the jet had taken off. He said a few other jets had departed before the one that crashed for what was believed to be a practice or training run. The doomed jet quickly ran into trouble.
"He was flying real low like he didn’t have any power,” Gonzalez told msnbc.com by telephone.
"He was smoking really bad. Bad smoke was coming out of the engine. It kind of backfired a couple times. I heard two pops … then 15 seconds later I heard the explosion."
Gonzalez said the other jets then started circling around the crash site.
Amy Miller told The Virginian-Pilot she was outside the cleaners where she works when she saw a plane coming down with fire on its wing.
"I saw two parachutes eject. I saw them open up and then head toward the ground to the right of the jet," she told the newspaper
About two seconds later it crashed, she said.
"It looked like it had either hit the building or slid into it. Part of the building had crumpled up," she said, according to the Virginian-Pilot.
Austin Makie, of Virginia Beach, said he was golfing with two friends on a course a few miles away from where the jet went down. He said they were riding in a cart headed to the next hole when they heard a loud boom.
"We looked around … and there was a very large pile of smoke. There was really big stench like gas in the air," he told msnbc.com.
State and local police were on the scene to assist the military, according to Grazia Moyers, spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department.
The Virginia-Pilot reported that a shelter had been opened to accommodate people displaced by the crash.
"We are taking all possible steps at the state level to provide immediate resources and assistance to those impacted by the crash," said Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
"I deeply regret that some in our community have lost their homes, and I, like many, pray for the well-being of all," said Adm. John C. Harvey, Jr., commander of U.S. Fleet Forces, in a statement on the crash. "I must also offer my deepest gratitude to the citizens of Virginia Beach and the Mayfair Mews Apartments, as well as Virginia Beach's first responders, for their immediate and heroic response to take care of our aircrew after they ejected and all at the scene of the mishap."
Harvey promised a prompt investigation.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Crews continue to search through the rubble after an F/A-18D jet crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach Friday afternoon.
Firefighters at the complex have not been to get in touch with three residents, however there are official no reports of missing people provided by the city. Tim Riley with Virginia Beach Fire Department says the names, ages and gender of those unaccounted for will not be released and no one has reported them missing.
Seven people were hurt in the accident, including the two pilots. Six of the seven injured were treated and released Friday.
The crash happened just after noon when the aircraft suffered “ catastrophic mechanical malfunction ” shortly after takeoff, according to Captain Mark Weisgerber, Deputy Commander for the Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic. Both pilots were forced to eject from the jet, which then crashed into the Mayfair Mews Apartments off of Fleming Drive.
Weisgerber added the pilot in the front seat was a student, while the back seat was occupied by an experienced instructor.
Virginia Beach Police responded to the scene and went door to door at the apartment complex to see if any residents were in their homes, Grazie Moyers with VBPD told WAVY.com.
As soon as first responders arrived on scene, Virginia State Police closed Interstate 264 in both directions, causing quite a traffic backup. Traffic cameras from the Virginia Department of Transportation showed thick, black smoke billowing up from the crash site.
All lanes of I-264 were back open at 3 p.m. Friday.
The American Red Cross is offering assistance to those affected by the crash , and two shelters have been opened at Birdneck Elementary School and Community Chapel in Virginia Beach. The City of Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center is also taking in family pets.
Shortly after the crash, officials throughout Hampton Roads and the state of Virginia began expressing their gratitude toward the first responders on scene , including Governor Bob McDonnell and Congressman Scott Rigell.
“Our prayers are with our entire Hampton Roads and military communities right now as our first responders are admirably addressing the situation on the ground,” Rigell said.
Virginia Beach Fire officials said there were no fatalities reported, and crews were still searching through the homes that were damaged in the crash and subsequent fire, which was under control in about an hour.
In total, Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital said none of the injuries were reported to be serious.
As for the three missing residents, Riley says an around-the-clock operation has begun of reaching the bottom layer of the collapsed buildings. Riley says the apartment complex has provided a list of residents, and three of those have not been reached. However, no one has reported the residents has missing, and Riley says those people may be out of town for the holiday weekend.
"This is still a rescue operation that will transition into an investigation," Riley says.
An emotional Pat Kavanaugh told WAVY.com about the aftermath of the crash, and how he helped pull the pilot to safety.
“I heard three loud bangs,” Kavanaugh said. “Saw a pilot laying on the ground, his parachute still connected to the building, and I ran over and I did a body survey, to see about his injuries. He had some blood coming out of his nose, I made sure he didn’t have any broken bones. He apologized for crashing into our apartment complex and I chuckled and I told him ‘Don’t worry about it, we’re alive and we’re going to get you out of here as fast as we can.’”
Crews in Virginia Beach will continue to search throughout the night for anyone who might be missing. Family members are encouraged to call 757-385-3111.

Video footage shows a suspected bomber, who is wearing a black shirt
Local newspapers ran the pictures with appeals for help in identifying the three men.
At least 19 people died in Saturday's bombings of popular tourist resorts.
Investigators said the bombers were recruited, trained and equipped by a back-up team, and hope that naming the bombers will unveil the masterminds.
Police believe radical group Jemaah Islamiah (JI) was behind the bombings at Jimbaran and Kuta.
The three bombs exploded in tourist areas within moments of each other, nearly three years after bombs in Bali nightclubs killed 202 people, including many Westerners.
Police chief Made Mangku Pastika said the bombs appeared to have been built using TNT and metal slugs.
On Sunday, video footage was released showing one of the suspected bombers walking into a restaurant in Kuta, moments before an explosion.
The footage, taken by a tourist, shows a man dressed in a black shirt and jeans walking into a restaurant with something on his back.
He disappears from screen just seconds before there is a bright flash as the bomb explodes. Black smoke fills the frame and people can be heard screaming.
Revised death toll
Authorities had previously put the total at 26, but later revised it down to 19 plus the three bombers.
More than 100 people were wounded, 17 of them seriously.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says Bali offers an attractive target for JI because it is full of Western tourists in a predominantly Muslim country.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who has visited the scene of the blasts, told reporters the attacks would only strengthen his government's resolve in fighting terrorism.
HAVE YOUR SAY The people of Bali are so welcoming and friendly and have feared the economic impact of more bombs.

Two Malaysian fugitives have been named as the suspected masterminds of the attacks.
They are Azahari Bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top - suspected JI leaders who have been on Indonesia's most wanted list since the attacks of 12 October 2002.
Their group is also suspected of being behind a suicide bombing at the Marriott hotel in Jakarta in 2003, and a suicide bombing at the Australian embassy last September.

Several explosions hit popular tourist destination areas in Kuta Beach, Indonesia early today, killing at least 19 people and injuring 100 others. Between 11:50 and 12:00 UTC, three explosions hit the Kuta Square and Jimbaran Beach, two popular Western tourist areas in Bali.
The Indonesian national news agency, ANTARA, reported that the first two explosions occurred at 6:50 p.m. local time, near a Jimbaran food court and the third blast at 7:00 p.m. in Kuta Town Square. Other reports claim that the blasts occurred at around 7:15 p.m. The two major blasts are thought to have struck a crowded main square at central Kuta, and the other in a cafe on Jimbaran beach, near the Four Seasons Hotel, areas which are generally popular with Western tourists. At this time, it is not clear how many explosions were involved; however, 4 blasts have been reported.
The bombings occurred just two days before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and 11 days before the third anniversary of the 2002 Bali bombing.

More than 50 others were injured as blasts ripped through three restaurants - two in the Jimbaran beach resort, the third in Kuta 30km (19 miles) away.
Indonesia's president said terrorists were to blame for the bombings - the second such attacks in three years.
Bombings in Kuta in 2002 killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists.
Local TV has been showing pictures of bloodied and confused survivors and collapsed buildings.
The noise was deafening - like 1,000 fireworks going off at one time

Your experiences World reaction to bombs
Local media said police had found a number of other unexploded devices.
No group has claimed the attacks.
However, BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says the finger of suspicion is already pointing towards the extremist regional group Jemaah Islamiah (JI) which was blamed for the 2002 bombings.
Bali - a predominantly Hindu island popular with Western tourists - represents a soft and tempting target for Islamist extremists linked to al-Qaeda, our correspondent says.
'Chaos on streets'
Police say there were three blasts, which happened almost simultaneously just before 2000 local (1200GMT) on Saturday.
A British tourist who was in a building next door to the restaurant that was hit in Kuta said there was a "thunderous boom" that caused all the shop's windows to blow out.
"It was just chaos," Daniel Martin told the BBC.
He said there were people lying in the streets with serious injuries, with everyone pitching in to help.
Journalist Maris Bakkalupulo told the BBC that Raja's noodle and steak restaurant at Kuta was completely gutted.
"Everything has been blasted out of the building, which is very mangled," she said.
In Jimbaran, two outdoor beach restaurants about 100 metres (yards) apart were targeted.
Dutch student Chris van der Draai described the panic that ensued.
"We had a bit of panic, everybody panicked," he told the BBC, "but I think, with the first bomb, many people just stood up and everybody ran down to the beach... and the second bomb went off, so I think some people were very lucky that... both bombs weren't exploded together."
Initial reports suggest that Indonesians bore the brunt of the attacks, but casualties also include Australian, US, Japanese and South Korean nationals.
"These are clearly terrorist attacks because the targets were random and public places," said Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
"We will hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice."
Official statements from the US and UK have condemned the attacks and expressed support for the people of Bali.
Warnings
The blasts come less than two weeks before the third anniversary of massive bomb attacks that killed 202 people - including 88 Australians.
JI, the group blamed for the 12 October 2002 bombings, is also suspected of being behind a suicide bombing at the Marriott hotel in Jakarta in 2003, and a suicide bombing at the Australian embassy last September.
The authorities had warned that militants had been planning further attacks on Western targets in Indonesia, although there had been no particular alerts over the past few days.

Several explosions hit popular tourist destination areas in Kuta Beach, Indonesia early today, killing at least 19 people and injuring 100 others. Between 11:50 and 12:00 UTC, three explosions hit the Kuta Square and Jimbaran Beach, two popular Western tourist areas in Bali.
The Indonesian national news agency, ANTARA, reported that the first two explosions occurred at 6:50 p.m. local time, near a Jimbaran food court and the third blast at 7:00 p.m. in Kuta Town Square. Other reports claim that the blasts occurred at around 7:15 p.m. The two major blasts are thought to have struck a crowded main square at central Kuta, and the other in a cafe on Jimbaran beach, near the Four Seasons Hotel, areas which are generally popular with Western tourists. At this time, it is not clear how many explosions were involved; however, 4 blasts have been reported.
The bombings occurred just two days before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and 11 days before the third anniversary of the 2002 Bali bombing.

Deaths reported in Bali blasts
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Several explosions occurred almost simultaneously Saturday in tourist areas of the Indonesian resort island Bali, killing at least two people and injuring many others, police and Indonesian media reported.
Foreigners were among the victims, witnesses said.
"I helped lift up the bodies, there was blood everywhere," I Wayan Kresna, a witness, told El Shinta radio station, adding that at least two people were dead. "Many people have been brought to the hospital."
Kresna said he witnessed an explosion at a seafood restaurant on Jimbaran beach, which is frequented by foreign tourists.
Another near-simultaneous explosion hit the Rajas restaurant in a bustling outdoor shopping center of downtown Kuta, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) away.
The restaurant was filled with local and foreign diners, said El Shinta, adding that both floors of the two-story building were badly damaged in the blast.
Kuta was the site of October 2002 bomb attacks blamed on the al Qaeda-linked terror group Jemaah Islamiyah that killed 202 people.
Bali police spokesman Lt. Col. Antonius Reniban could not say if Saturday's explosions were bombs.
"There have been some explosions in Jimbaran and Kuta area, but we cannot give any details," he said. "Police are still investigating."
Several people were admitted to one hospital near Kuta with injuries, said a woman who answered the phone at Sangalh Hospital, but she did not know how many.
Since the 2002 Bali blasts, Jemaah Islamiyah has been tied to at least two other bombings in Indonesia, both in the capital, Jakarta. Those blasts, one at the J.W. Marriott hotel in 2003 and the other outside the Australian Embassy in 2004, killed at least 23.
Western and Indonesian intelligence agency have consistently warned the group was plotting more attacks. Last month, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he was especially worried that the network was on the brink of another blast.

Mr Blair said he offered "full support to the people of Bali", after 26 people died in at least three blasts on Saturday, with many others injured.
British ambassador to Indonesia Charles Humfrey said one Briton was seriously injured and another "less so".
Azahari Bin Husin, a former Reading University student, is suspected of helping mastermind the strikes.
'Appalling attacks'
Mr Blair is writing a personal note to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono offering support and sympathy.
In a statement, he said he condemned "in the strongest terms the appalling attacks in Bali."
I got a chill down my spine when I heard where the bomb went off
Holidaymaker Baharat Gorasia
Bali bombs were 'suicide attacks' Families appalled at latest attacks
"The UK was deeply grateful for and moved by the support and sympathy given by the Indonesian government and people after the attacks in July in London.
"We stand by Indonesia at this very difficult time.
"The British government stands ready to help in any way we can."
Consular support
The British ambassador Mr Humfrey said two Britons were known to have been injured and he could not rule out with "absolute certainty" the possibility Britons were among the dead.
"We're still contacting hotels and others to make sure there's no-one missing," he told BBC News.
Police search for clues at the scene of the blast
The woman with dual British/Australian nationality has been airlifted off the island.
Consular staff have been to visit the two injured Britons.
The Foreign Office has set up an emergency helpline for worried friends and relatives on 0207 008 8765.
Revised travel advice on the Foreign Office website advises travellers to "exercise extreme caution at all times because there remains a high threat from terrorism".
Twenty-eight Britons were among the 202 people killed in the 12 October 2002 bomb attacks in Kuta, blamed on Islamic extremists.
Consular staff have flown to Bali from the British Embassy in Jakarta.
Bombing mastermind
A senior Indonesian terror official said two Malaysian fugitives were suspected of being the masterminds behind Saturday's suicide bombings.
Major General Ansyaad Mbai named Azahari Bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top.
Azahari Bin Husin completed a doctorate at Reading University in the 1980s and is reportedly a bomb maker for the terror organisation Jemaah Islamiah.
He and Noordin Mohamed Top have been on Indonesia's most wanted lists since the attacks in 2002.
Eyewitness account
The blasts took place just before 2000 local time (1200 GMT).
Two blasts went off at Jimbaran - a seaside area packed with restaurants. Another was at Kuta beach, the area most popular with Western tourists.
Briton Daniel Martin, who was in a building next door to a restaurant hit in Kuta, told the BBC there was a "thunderous boom" that caused all the shop's windows to blow out. "It was just chaos."
Mr Martin said there were people lying in the streets with serious injuries, with everyone pitching in to help.
Pribadi Sutiono, from the Indonesian Embassy in London, said: "There were two [bombs] in Jimbaran beach close to the Four Seasons Hotel and one [bomb] in Kuta near the Matahari department store."
Baharat Gorasia and his wife Dipa Hirani, both 27, from north west London, had been shopping in the store during the afternoon.
Mr Gorasia said: "It's very scary. I got a chill down my spine when I heard where the bomb went off - we were in the same area just hours before.
"If we had ended up going in a few more shops we would probably have been caught up in the blast."
The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) said it was unclear how many British tourists were in Bali.
A Thomas Cook spokeswoman said none of its 30 Britons in Bali had been caught up in the blasts but it would help any of its customers who wished to return to Britain.
Kuoni said it was trying to get information on its clients in Bali.

ter, 22/06/10 por André Rocha | frança, méxico, uruguai, áfrica do sul categoria copa do mundo 2010
Não houve a temida ”combinação” entre uruguaios e mexicanos – até porque ninguém queria encarar o time de Maradona e Messi.
No entanto, a força da Celeste repaginada taticamente não foi suficiente para ajudar os Bafana Bafana em sua missão quase impossível no Free State. No final, classificações e eliminações mais que justas e a África do Sul entra para a história como o primeiro país anfitrião que fica de fora das oitavas-de-final.
A despedida francesa foi condizente com seu desempenho nos últimos quatro anos: muita apatia e uma assustadora desorganização tática. Difícil definir se começou atuando num 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2 ou num 4-3-3, já que Gignac fazia companhia a Cissé na área e Ribéry muitas vezes centralizava e deixava o jogo dos Bleus ainda mais embolado.
A expulsão de Gourcuff desarticulou de vez a seleção vice-campeã em 2006 e só com as entradas de Henry e Malouda, autor do tento único da França na Copa, é que o bando de Raymond Domenech mostrou algo próximo de um futebol razoável.
Não fossem os muitos erros de conclusão de Mphela, que dessa vez teve a companhia de Parker no ataque do 4-4-2 armado por Parreira e chegou a acertar a trave numa chance cristalina, o time africano teria conseguido mais do que o gol do camisa nove e do zagueiro Khumalo em falha de Lloris.
A eliminação dos donos da casa também pode ser creditada ao desempenho mais que apagado de Steven Pienaar. O camisa 10 que joga no Everton foi menos protagonista que Tshabalala e sumiu nos momentos mais importantes. Na última partida, se escondeu na meia direita e o time precisou de outras alternativas para conseguir a primeira e única vitória no Mundial.
Na disputa sem “marmelada” em Rustemburgo, destaque para a sutil mudança tática uruguaia que já tinha sido ensaiada na vitória sobre a África do Sul: Cavani atuou mais fixo pela direita, voltando na recomposição e deixando Suárez sozinho à frente. Com Forlán novamente centralizado na articulação e Álvaro Pereira contido pela esquerda, próximo aos volantes Pérez e Arévalo, é possível dizer que a equipe de Oscar Tabárez atuou num 4-2-3-1 “torto” parecido com o brasileiro, só invertendo o lado do “meia-volante” (Elano pela direita e Pereira à esquerda) e o do “meia-atacante” (Cavani à direita e Robinho na canhota).
Mais protegida, a retaguarda comandada por Lugano, mesmo sem o bom zagueiro Godín, substituído por Victorino, mais uma vez passou incólume e colaborou significativamente na manutenção do placar após o gol de Suárez no final do primeiro tempo. A entrada de Scotti no lugar de Álvaro Pereira restabeleceu o 3-4-1-2 que não funcionou na estreia contra a França, mas reforçou a retaguarda na segunda etapa. Fucile e Arévalo foram os grandes destaques e Suárez, mesmo sem o brilho da partida anterior, mereceu o prêmio de melhor em campo.
O México pecou ao trabalhar demais a bola e concluir pouco. A entrada de Blanco – ora como um meia de ligação, ora no ataque ao lado de Giovani dos Santos e Franco no 4-3-3 de Javier Aguirre – qualificou o toque no meio-campo com Guardado e Torrado. Mas faltou bater mais à gol. Fora o chutaço de Guardado no travessão, o time pouco ameaçou.
As entradas de Barrera e Hernández novamente aumentaram o volume de jogo e a velocidade do ataque. Mas o gol da França deixou tudo mais tranquilo em termos de classificação e, diante da solidez defensiva do oponente, o México se conformou com a segunda colocação que encaminha um provável duelo com a Argentina, repetindo 2006.
Os mexicanos torcem que a falta de ousadia não cobre um pesado tributo nas oitavas-de-final. Já a Celeste deve ter vida bem mais tranqüila e pode ir mais longe que o planejado com um estilo baseado em organização, forte marcação e liberdade para os talentosos Forlán e Suárez. É possível resgatar o respeito a um bicampeão mundial que andava esquecido.

RIO - Os primeiros confrontos das oitavas de final da Copa da África do Sul foram conhecidos nesta terça-feira. E logo de cara teremos a repetição de um confronto pela mesma fase do último Mundial, Alemanha-2006: Argentina x México, domingo, às 15h30, no Soccer City, em Johannesburgo - há quatro anos, os argentinos venceram por 2 a 1, na prorrogação. A outra partida já confirmada na primeira etapa de mata-mata em 2010 será entre Uruguai e Coreia do Sul, abrindo as oitavas no sábado, às 11h, em Port Elizabeth.
( Confira a tabela completa da Copa 2010 )
Outros dois confrontos das oitavas serão conhecidos nesta quarta-feira. Às 11h, saem os classificados do grupo C. Líder com quatro pontos, a Eslovênia enfrenta a Inglaterra precisando apenas do empate para se classificar. Ao English Team, só resta vencer . No outro jogo da chave, os Estados Unidos, que têm os mesmos dois pontos dos ingleses, enfrentam a Argélia, que têm um mas também sonha com a classificação.
Os dois melhores do grupo C vão enfrentar em cruzamento olímpico (primeiro de um contra o segundo do outro) as seleções classificadas no grupo D, que também se enfrentam nesta quarta, às 15h30. Gana, que lidera a chave com quatro pontos, enfrenta a Alemanha, que tem três e busca evitar uma eliminação precoce . Um empate classifica a seleção africana, mas também pode servir para os tricampeões mundiais, desde que a Sérvia (também com três pontos), não vença a Austrália (um ponto e chances matemáticas de classificação). Nesse caso, a Alemanha só seria eliminada se os australianos aplicassem uma goleada histórica, de sete ou mais gols de diferença, nos sérvios.
Argentina e Uruguai terminam na liderança dos seus grupos
Mesmo poupando sete titulares, a Argentina de Maradona não teve dificuldades para manter os 100% de aproveitamento no grupo B, vencendo a Grécia por 2 a 0 em Polokwane . A derrota custou aos gregos a eliminação no Mundial. A segunda vaga da chave ficou com a Coreia do Sul, que empatou em 2 a 2 com a Nigéria e chegou aos quatro pontos, um a mais que a Grécia. Os nigerianos terminaram em último, com um ponto.
No grupo A, o líder também é sul-americano. O Uruguai venceu o México por 1 a 0 em Rustemburgo e garantiu a primeira colocação com sete pontos. Apesar da derrota, os mexicanos conseguiram a segunda vaga com quatro pontos. A África do Sul, que venceu a França por 2 a 1 , também chegou a quatro pontos, mas perdeu a classificação para o México no saldo de gols - os sul-africanos precisariam vencer por quatro gols de diferença para avançar.
( Mesmo eliminada, a África do Sul comemora o despertar de uma nova paixão: o futebol )
A eliminação da África do Sul é a primeira de um país anfitrião na fase de grupos de uma Copa do Mundo. Para o técnico brasileiro Carlos Alberto Parreira, porém, o triunfo sobre a França serviu para quebrar uma escrita: ele nunca tinha vencido um jogo de Copa dirigindo uma seleção estrangeira.

A Atalanta perdeu a oportunidade de assumir a vice-liderança do Campeonato Italiano, ao só empatar com a Roma, nesta quinta-feira, no Estádio Olímpico, na capital italiana, por 1 a 1, em duelo válido pela 32ª rodada.
Com o resultado, o time de Bérgamo ficou com 65 pontos, ao lado da Juventus, e um ponto atrás do Milan, segundo colocado. A liderança do Italiano, a seis rodadas do final da competição, é a da Internazionale, com 76 pontos.

O resultado foi um castigo para a Atalanta, que abusou do direito de perder gols. Com grande domínio do jogo desde o início, o time abriu o placar, aos 26 minutos, com Malinovsky. Ainda na primeira etapa, Muriel perde chance incrível na pequena área.
O segundo tempo teve o mesmo panorama até os 24 minutos, quando Gosens foi expulso. A partir daí, a Roma tomou conta do jogo e conseguiu o empate com Cristante em um chute de longe, que o goleiro Gollini foi mal no lance.
Nos minutos finais, a Roma pressionou e Dzeko quase fez de cabeça. Emm outra jogada, Gollini, em uma defesa espetacular, se recuperou no final da partida.
Em Nápoles, o Napoli chegou aos 63 pontos, em quinto lugar, ao golear a Lazio (6º, com 58 pontos) por 5 a 2. O time da casa abriu fáceis 4 a 0, com dois gols em 12 minutos de jogo: um (de pênalti) de Insigne e outro de Politano.
O Napoli, empurrado pelo entusiasmo constante do técnico Gennaro Gattuso, seguiu firme na etapa final e ampliou com dois belos gols de Insigne e Mertens. A Lazio reagiu com Immobile e Savic (de falta), mas levou o quinto gol, marcado por Osimben.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Southern California wildfires already blamed for more than $900 million in losses continued to rage out of control Tuesday night, pushing officials to concede they may only be able to contain the infernos while they blaze a trail west to the Pacific Ocean.
Fueled by hot, dry Santa Ana winds, fires raged across many parts of the region for the third straight day, taxing exhausted firefighters and the state's thinning resources, and chasing a reported 881,500 people from their homes.
San Diego Fire Captain Kirk Humphries told the Associated Press that, "If it's this big and blowing with as much wind as it's got, it'll go all the way to the ocean before it stops ... We can save some stuff but we can't stop it."
At least 18 fires -- only three of which were contained, blackening more than 375,000 acres, or 585 square miles -- were burning Tuesday night, many of them uncontained. Officials were monitoring the volatile winds carrying embers that could ignited even more blazes. One person was reported killed in the fires and 45 were injured, including at least 16 firefighters.
The fires reportedly had destroyed at least 1,300 homes and businesses by Tuesday afternoon, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said 68,500 more homes and 2,200 more businesses are threatened.
Moody's Economy.com estimated the fires are costing the Southern California economy about $45 million a day from displaced residents unable to work, and $785 million in property damage from the 1,300 homes already burned, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition. See Wall Street Journal blog (subscription required).
If all 68,500 endangered homes were destroyed, the residential property damage would total $42 billion, the Journal reported.
The Los Angeles times said the evacuation of an estimated 881,500 people in the seven-county fire area, home to almost 58% of California's 36.5 million residents, is the largest in state history.
'There are not enough helicopters. There are not enough air assets.' — Chief Chip Prather, Orange County Fire Authority
In the San Diego area, more than 500,000 people had been evacuated as late Tuesday and hundreds of thousands of homes in and around the city were under threat, as fires swept through rural areas and invaded insulated suburban communities.
Thousands of residents found refuge at Qualcomm Stadium, where the NFL's San Diego Chargers team plays. The scene drew eerie comparisons to 2005's Hurricane Katrina, where thousands of stranded New Orleans residents fled to the New Orleans Saints' Superdome.
Some officials were questioning the management of resources as some regions struggled to contain the fires. Officials battling a blaze in suburban Orange County said that a fire there was flaring up again after resources were sent elsewhere when it appeared the blaze was getting under control.
"There are not enough helicopters. There are not enough air assets," Chief Chip Prather of the Orange County Fire Authority said at a news conference. He called for a more unified strategy on deployment of planes and helicopters that drop water and fire-retardant materials. Many firefighters haven't had a break since the fires broke out Sunday.
Schwarzenegger responded by insuring that additional air resources would be sent to the stricken areas. He said that 15 more aircraft would be deployed, on top of the 90 planes and helicopters already being used to fight the blazes.
Schwarzenegger was not aware of Humphries's bleak assessment that the fires may not be stopped before they reached the ocean, the AP reported. Officials kept vigil on the winds, hoping they'd die down by Tuesday afternoon, but real relief won't come until at least Thursday, when a cooling trend is expected to begin, according to the National Weather Service. A high-wind warning was in effect until 3 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday. The NWS added that smoke, blowing dust and sand would reduce visibility below a quarter mile in some cases.
Pleas from California officials for help from outside the state for overtaxed emergency systems and firefighters appeared to have been heeded early Tuesday, as President Bush declared a state of emergency in parts of California affected by the wildfires. Bush's move clears the way for financial aid and assistance overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. See related story.
Bush reportedly was planning to visit the region on Thursday.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff visited ailing San Diego Tuesday, saying that the agency wasn't waiting for paperwork to be processed to get aid in the form of cots and other provisions to needed areas. Reports said that firefighting efforts may have to extend for several days, perhaps into Halloween, before blazes are extinguished.
Chertoff said that authorities expected bad conditions to reach into at least Wednesday before the weather turned. Along with high winds and low humidity, temperatures were expected to rise.

Reports say that the amount of people fleeing from their homes in California located in the United States due to wildfires has reached the 1,000,000 mark as the fires continue to grow. More than 500,000 people have been ordered to evacuate areas of Southern California as firefighters have began to realize that they may not be able to put all the fires out.
45 people have been injured, 21 of those being firefighters battling the blazes. At least one person was reported to have been killed earlier, but so far those reports cannot be confirmed.
"If it's this big and blowing with as much wind as it's got, it'll go all the way to the ocean before it stops ... We can save some stuff but we can't stop it," said captain of the San Diego fire department, Kirk Humphries.
Yesterday, U.S. President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in California, clearing the way for the state to begin receiving federal aid assistance.
"All of us across this nation are concerned for the families who have lost their homes and the many families who have been evacuated from their homes. We send the help of the federal government," said Bush in a statement to the press.
The Santa Ana winds have been blowing for three days and they are not forecast to stop for the next day or so.
Close to 2,000 homes are burned to ashes and nearly 70,000 more are believed to be at a high risk of catching fire. Almost 400,000 acres of land have been scorched with 18 fires burning.

500,000 Flee Raging California Wildfires SAN DIEGO (AP) — Faced with unrelenting winds whipping wildfires into a frenzy across Southern California, firefighters conceded defeat on many fronts Tuesday to an unstoppable force that has chased more than 500,000 people away. Unless the shrieking Santa Ana winds subside, and that's not expected for at least another day, fire crews say they can do little more than try to wait it out and react — tamping out spot fires and chasing ribbons of airborne embers to keep new fires from flaring. "If it's this big and blowing with as much wind as it's got, it'll go all the way to the ocean before it stops," said San Diego Fire Capt. Kirk Humphries. "We can save some stuff but we can't stop it." Tentacles of unpredictable, shifting flame have burned across nearly 640 square miles, killing one person, destroying more than 1,300 homes and prompting the biggest evacuation in California history, from north of Los Angeles, through San Diego to the Mexican border. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the flames were threatening 68,000 more homes. "We have had an unfortunate situation that we've had three things come together: very dry areas, very hot weather and then a lot of wind," Schwarzenegger said. "And so this makes the perfect storm for a fire." In Rancho Santa Fe, a suburb north of San Diego, houses burned just yards from where fire crews fought to contain flames engulfing other properties. In the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead, cabins and vacation homes went up in flames with no fire crews in sight. "These winds are so strong, we're not trying to fight this fire," said firefighter Jim Gelrud, an engineer from Vista, Calif. "We're just trying to save the buildings." More than a dozen wildfires blowing across Southern California since Sunday have also injured more than 45 people, including 21 firefighters. The U.S. Forest Service earlier reported a fire death in Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita area, but officials said Tuesday that information was erroneous. In San Diego County, authorities placed evacuation calls to more than 346,000 homes, said Luis Monteagudo, a spokesman for the county's emergency effort. Based on census and other county data, 560,000 people were ordered to leave, said Ron Roberts, chairman of the San Diego Board of Supervisors. "It's basically a mass migration here in San Diego County. The numbers we're seeing are staggering," said Luis Monteagudo, a spokesman for the county's emergency effort. By Tuesday evening, some 50,000 people in San Diego were being allowed to return homes near the ocean as well as portions of the city of Poway, Roberts said. No homes were lost in these neighborhoods. President Bush, who planned to visit the region Thursday, declared a federal emergency for seven counties, a move that will speed disaster-relief efforts. The sweeping devastation was reminiscent of blazes that tore through Southern California four years ago, killing 22 and destroying 3,640 homes. The ferocity of the Santa Ana winds in 2003 forced crews to discard their traditional strategy and focus on keeping up with the fire and putting out spot blazes that threatened homes. Fire crews were especially concerned about dense eucalyptus groves in Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, fearing the highly flammable trees could turn neighborhoods prized for their secluded serenity into potential tinderboxes. The usual tactic is to surround a fire on two sides and try to choke it off. But with fires whipped by gusts that have surpassed 100 mph, that strategy doesn't work because embers can be swept miles ahead of the fire's front line. In those cases, crews must keep 10 to 30 feet back from the flames or risk their own lives, Los Angeles County firefighter Daryl Parish said. Added Rocklin Fire Department Capt. Martin Holm: "We do what we can. A life's a lot more important than a house." Any flame longer than 8 feet is considered unstoppable, and even water and fire retardant will evaporate before they reach the ground, said Gordon Schmidt, a retired U.S. Forest Service deputy director of fire management. "In these situations, the strategy generally is to fall back," he said. "You pick and choose your priorities in terms of what you can protect. Instead of trying to stop the fire, you try to prevent it from burning resources." In the suburbs north of San Diego, firefighters did just that as fingers of flame pulsed across a 10-lane freeway and raced up a hill on the opposite side in just seconds. The fire engulfed white-washed homes at the top of the ridge. Groves of eucalyptus trees exploded in the heat in one ritzy cul-de-sac in Rancho Santa Fe, sending off a scattered popping that sounded like machine gun fire. Firefighters parked their rigs in the driveways of the most threatened homes and hosed down fences and open space around homes as a blood-red sun set over a sky choked with smoke and falling ash. Firefighters battling two fast-moving blazes in Lake Arrowhead, in the San Bernardino Mountains about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, were also taxed by steep terrain, winding roads and a forest packed with dead or dying trees. More than 300 homes burned, fire officials said. At least three times in the past two days, fire crews have been forced to "pull off, and wait for things to calm down" because of danger, said San Bernardino National Forest Ranger Kurt Winchester. "In a lot of places, you just have to back off and let the fire go," he said. "There's nothing we can do." The one person confirmed dead was identified as Thomas Varshock of Tecate, a town on the U.S. side of the border southeast of San Diego. He died over the weekend after he ignored warnings to evacuate and authorities left to take care of other evacuations, the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office said. The medical examiner's office also listed four other deaths as connected to the wildfires because they occurred during or after evacuations. Three people were in their 90s and died from natural causes; the fourth was a woman who died after falling at a restaurant. In Rancho Santa Fe, neighbors tried to protect a friend's home with a garden hose Monday night as flames raced up a ridge directly behind the house. Yards away, an engine crew kept watch as another home, already fully engulfed, burned to the ground. "We told the firemen about (this house) and we put out a few hot spots," said friend Gary Rich. "They told us once they put out that house, they'd come over here." But, Rich said, encroaching flames were making him nervous and he might leave before then. Fighting a gusty blaze also puts the firefighters in harm's way. At least twice in the last two days, firefighters have had to unfurl their emergency fire shelters — small fire-resistant tents to shield them when they can't escape a fire. Weather conditions only grew worse, with temperatures across Southern California about 10 degrees above average. Temperatures were in the 90s by mid-afternoon and wind gusts up to 60 mph were expected in mountains and canyons. In the San Diego suburb of Del Dios, fire completely destroyed one home but seemed to touch other items at random. Two lawn chairs and an umbrella were left in a burnt, melted heap on the patio. But behind the house, near a murky brown swimming pool, two chaise lounges and a four-foot-tall decorative fountain survived unscathed. J.C. Playford, an evacuee from the nearby community of Ramona, surveyed the damage and wondered whether his own home was still standing. "I've got two reports, one person told me it's gone, and one person said it's still there," he said, "So I have no idea." Associated Press writers Chelsea J. Carter, Jeremiah Marquez, Daisy Nguyen, Robert Jablon and Thomas Watkins in Los Angeles, Martha Mendoza in Lake Arrowhead, Jacob Adelman in Santa Clarita, Allison Hoffman, Elliot Spagat and Scott Lindlaw in San Diego, and Pauline Arrillaga in Del Mar contributed to this report.

Reports say that the amount of people fleeing from their homes in California located in the United States due to wildfires has reached the 1,000,000 mark as the fires continue to grow. More than 500,000 people have been ordered to evacuate areas of Southern California as firefighters have began to realize that they may not be able to put all the fires out.
45 people have been injured, 21 of those being firefighters battling the blazes. At least one person was reported to have been killed earlier, but so far those reports cannot be confirmed.
"If it's this big and blowing with as much wind as it's got, it'll go all the way to the ocean before it stops ... We can save some stuff but we can't stop it," said captain of the San Diego fire department, Kirk Humphries.
Yesterday, U.S. President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency in California, clearing the way for the state to begin receiving federal aid assistance.
"All of us across this nation are concerned for the families who have lost their homes and the many families who have been evacuated from their homes. We send the help of the federal government," said Bush in a statement to the press.
The Santa Ana winds have been blowing for three days and they are not forecast to stop for the next day or so.
Close to 2,000 homes are burned to ashes and nearly 70,000 more are believed to be at a high risk of catching fire. Almost 400,000 acres of land have been scorched with 18 fires burning.

Calif. Wildfires Rage Out of Control
Wednesday October 24, 2007 1:31 AM By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) - Faced with unrelenting winds whipping wildfires into a frenzy across Southern California, firefighters conceded defeat on many fronts Tuesday to an unstoppable force that has chased an estimated 1 million people away. Unless the shrieking Santa Ana winds subside, and that's not expected for at least another day, fire crews say they can do little more than try to wait it out and react - tamping out spot fires and chasing ribbons of airborne embers to keep new fires from flaring. ``If it's this big and blowing with as much wind as it's got, it'll go all the way to the ocean before it stops,'' said San Diego Fire Capt. Kirk Humphries. ``We can save some stuff but we can't stop it.'' Tentacles of unpredictable, shifting flame have burned across nearly 600 square miles, killing one person, destroying more than 1,300 homes and prompting the biggest evacuation in California history, from north of Los Angeles, through San Diego to the Mexican border. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the flames were threatening 68,000 more homes. ``We have had an unfortunate situation that we've had three things come together: very dry areas, very hot weather and then a lot of wind,'' Schwarzenegger said. ``And so this makes the perfect storm for a fire.'' In Rancho Santa Fe, a suburb north of San Diego, houses burned just yards from where fire crews fought to contain flames engulfing other properties. In the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead, cabins and vacation homes went up in flames with no fire crews in sight. ``These winds are so strong, we're not trying to fight this fire,'' said firefighter Jim Gelrud, an engineer from Vista, Calif. ``We're just trying to save the buildings.'' More than a dozen wildfires blowing across Southern California since Sunday have also injured more than 40 people, including 16 firefighters. The U.S. Forest Service earlier reported a fire death in Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita area, but officials said Tuesday that information was erroneous. The fires also forced the evacuation of more than 350,000 houses, most of them in San Diego County. With the area's average household size of 2.6 people, that means the evacuation could encompass nearly 910,000 people. ``It's basically a mass migration here in San Diego County. The numbers we're seeing are staggering,'' said Luis Monteagudo, a spokesman for the county's emergency effort. President Bush, who planned to visit the region Thursday, declared a federal emergency for seven counties, a move that will speed disaster-relief efforts. The sweeping devastation was reminiscent of blazes that tore through Southern California four years ago, killing 22 and destroying 3,640 homes. The ferocity of the Santa Ana winds in 2003 forced crews to discard their traditional strategy and focus on keeping up with the fire and putting out spot blazes that threatened homes. Fire crews were especially concerned about dense eucalyptus groves in Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, fearing the highly flammable trees could turn neighborhoods prized for their secluded serenity into potential tinderboxes.

Firefighters battling two fast-moving blazes in Lake Arrowhead, in the San Bernardino Mountains about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, were also taxed by steep terrain, winding roads and a forest packed with dead or dying trees. More than 200 homes burned in Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs, fire officials said. At least three times in the past two days, fire crews have been forced to ``pull off, and wait for things to calm down'' because of danger, said San Bernardino National Forest Ranger Kurt Winchester. ``In a lot of places, you just have to back off and let the fire go,'' he said. ``There's nothing we can do.''

Ktoś nielegalnie nagrał spotkania szefa MSW, prezesa Banku Centralnego, byłego ministra transportu. Taśmy są kompromitujące. Czy to zamach stanu obliczony na obalenie rządu Donalda Tuska?
Skocz do tekstu REKLAMA
Cały tekst można przeczytać w najnowszym numerze "Wprost".
Restauracja „Sowa i Przyjaciele” na Dolnym Mokotowie. Popularne miejsce spotkań polityków i biznesmenów. Jej przewaga nad innymi? Można podjechać od tyłu i wejść do VIP-roomu bez przechodzenia przez główną salę. Właśnie tu doszło do dwóch spotkań, z których nagrania posiadamy.Pierwsze z nich odbyło się w lipcu 2013 roku. Uczestniczyły w nim trzy osoby: minister spraw wewnętrznych Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, prezes Narodowego Banku Polskiego Marek Belka oraz jego najbliższy współpracownik i były minister Sławomir Cytrycki.Drugie spotkanie odbyło się w tym samym miejscu na początku lutego 2014 roku. Brali w nim udział były minister transportu Sławomir Nowak, były wiceminister finansów Andrzej Parafianowicz oraz Dariusz Zawadka, były szef GROM-u.Nagrania są bulwersujące. Kto zarejestrował rozmowy? Komu zależało na skompromitowaniu uczestników tych spotkań? Wiadomo, że uderzają w uczestników spotkań. Między innymi w Bartłomieja Sienkiewicza, który jest skonfliktowany zarówno z częścią ABW, jak i BOR. Za nagraniami mogą więc stać służby specjalne, ludzie wywodzący się z Biura Ochrony Rządu, jakaś grupa biznesowa, a może polityczna konkurencja.Do redakcji „Wprost” w zeszłym tygodniu docierały wiadomości o kolejnych taśmach. Nagrane miało zostać spotkanie wicepremier Elżbiety Bieńkowskiej z szefem CBA Pawłem Wojtunikiem, do którego doszło na początku czerwca. Sprawdziliśmy: Bieńkowska rzeczywiście w ostatnich dniach spotkała się z Wojtunikiem. Również w restauracji „Sowa i Przyjaciele”. Według naszych informacji, zarejestrowane ma być również spotkanie szefa Najwyższej Izby Kontroli Krzysztofa Kwiatkowskiego z najbogatszym Polakiem Janem Kulczykiem. Znów sprawdziliśmy: Rzeczywiście Kwiatkowski i Kulczyk spotkali się w ostatnich dniach w restauracji w Pałacyku Sobańskich. Krążą wreszcie informacje o zarejestrowanych spotkaniach ministra Pawła Grasia z wspomnianym Janem Kulczukiem. Nagrane miało zostać również spotkanie związanego z Platformą biznesmena Piotra Wawrzynowicza z wiceministrem finansów Rafałem Baniakiem.Co jest na nagraniach, które mamy? Sienkiewicz załatwia polityczny deal z Belką. Chce, aby NBP pomógł w finansowaniu deficytu budżetowego i tym samym pomógł Platformie w trudnych wyborczych latach. Belka w zamian za to żąda głowy ówczesnego ministra finansów Jacka Rostowskiego i nowelizacji ustawy o banku centralnym.Kilka miesięcy później obie rzeczy się dokonują. Rostowski traci stanowisko podczas listopadowej rekonstrukcji rządu, ministrem zostaje, jak chciał Belka, „techniczny i niepolityczny” Mateusz Szczurek. Co więcej, 28 maja tego roku do Rady Ministrów wpływa projekt założeń nowelizacji o NBP z zapisami, o których panowie mówią w rozmowie. Sienkiewicz w trakcie spotkania wypowiada wiele kontrowersyjnych opinii. Twierdzi na przykład, że „państwo polskie istnieje teoretycznie, praktycznie nie istnieje”. Jeden z głównych pomysłów rządowych, czyli Polskie Inwestycje Rozwojowe określa mianem „ch…, dupa i kamieni kupa. Tego nie ma”. Twierdzi też, że Polacy mają w du… Orliki i autostrady, którymi bez przerwy chwali się Platforma. Belka z kolei wspomina, że na kilka miesięcy przed wybuchem afery z piramidą Amber Gold ostrzegał o tej sprawie premiera Donalda Tuska.Druga taśma została nagrana cztery miesiące temu. Sławomir Nowak spotkał się wówczas z Andrzejem Parafianowiczem, byłym wiceministrem finansów i byłym szefem Głównego Inspektoratu Informacji Finansowej. W spotkaniu brał też udział były dowódca GROM Dariusz Zawadka. Nowak był przerażony kontrolą, która sprawdza finanse jego żony. Szuka pomocy.- Chcą ją trzepać. Cały 2012 rok. Chcą najpierw wziąć rachunek bankowy. Mam nadzieję, że to dotyczy tylko jej działalności, a nie będą chcieli crossować tego z moimi rachunkami – mówi były minister transportu. Parafianowicz stwierdza, że o wszystkim wie i rzuca: - Zablokowałem to.Spytaliśmy Nowaka o spotkanie z Parafianowiczem. Przyznał, że takie spotkanie w restauracji „Sowa i Przyjaciele” miało miejsce. Zaznacza, że jego rozmówcy nie pełnili w tym czasie nie pełnili funkcji publicznych, a Parafianowicz „posiada i posiadał doświadczenie w zakresie kontroli skarbowej”. – Parafianowicz był jedyną znaną mi kompetentną osobą, która mogła rozwiać moje obawy związane z kolejną kontrolą skarbową – napisał nam Nowak. Więcej w najbliższym Wprost.

Tygodnik Wprost jest w posiadaniu nagrań rozmów ministra spraw wewnętrznych Bartłomieja Sienkiewicza, byłego ministra Sławomira Cytryckiego z szefem Narodowego Banku Polskiego Markiem Belką oraz byłego już ministra transportu Sławomira Nowaka z Andrzejem Parafianowiczem, byłym wiceministrem finansów i byłym szefem Głównego Inspektoratu Informacji Finansowej.

Nagrania, do których dotarli dziennikarze, pochodzą z dwóch spotkań w jednej z restauracji na Dolnym Mokotowie.
Pierwsze z nich odbyło się w lipcu 2013 r. Uczestniczyły w nim trzy osoby: minister spraw wewnętrznych Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, prezes Narodowego Banku Polskiego Marek Belka oraz jego najbliższy współpracownik i były minister Sławomir Cytrycki – czytamy na stronie internetowej tygodnika.
„Polacy maja w d... orliki”
Nagrania są bulwersujące. Wiadomo, że uderzają w uczestników spotkań. Między innymi w Bartłomieja Sienkiewicza, który jest skonfliktowany zarówno z częścią ABW, jak i BOR.

Polityczny deal
Na nagraniach słychać też jak Sienkiewicz załatwia polityczny deal z Belką. Chce, aby NBP pomógł w finansowaniu deficytu budżetowego i tym samym pomógł Platformie w trudnych wyborczych latach.

Michelle Wie reacts after birdying the fifth hole during her second round of the SK Telecom Open in Inchon, Friday. /Yonhap
The 16-year-old star from Hawaii scored a 3-under-par 69 in the second round of the SK Telecom Open at the Sky 72 Golf Club in Inchon, west of Seoul, Friday, holding a two-round total of 5-under 139, six strokes shy of co-leader Prom Meesawat of Thailand and Iain Steel of Malaysia.
Wie, who shot a 2-under-par 70 in the first round, finished tied in 17th place, comfortably securing a seat among 63 finalists.
``I am so happy to make the cut,'' Wie told reporters after the round. ``To me it's a double pleasure that I made it in Korea. I'd like to play it well for the remaining rounds and get into the top 10.''
Wie, whose parents were born in South Korea, became the first American female golfer to make the cut in a men's tour event since Babe Didrikson Zaharias in the 1945 Los Angeles Open.
Wie also became the second woman to do so at a Korean tournament. Pak Se-ri tied for 10th at the KPGA Tour's SBS Pro-Golf Championship in 2003.
She has failed to make the cut in seven previous attempts in men's tournaments on the U.S., Canadian and Japanese tours.
Her first attempt in a men's tournament at 13 in the Canadian Tour's Bay Mills Open in 2003, ended up four strokes short. The latest was in January at the U.S. PGA Sony Open, where she fell four shots behind after rounds of 79-68.
She got off to a good start on Thursday, by tying her best in competing against men, shooting a 2-under, as in the second round of the Sony Open in January.
She placed 28th in the opening round, where 64 out of the 153 competitors scored under par.
This is Wie's first visit to South Korea as a pro. She played as an amateur here in 2003 in the LPGA CJ Nine Bridges tournament, finishing last in the 69-player field.
Before the visit to Korea for the tournament, Wie finished third in March at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the first major event of the U.S. LPGA Tour.
Meanwhile, a struggling run in the last five holes cost South Korea's Choi Kyoung-ju dearly as he shot a disappointing even-par 72 in the second round.
Choi, 36, who carded a 4-under on the previous day, had four birdies on his first 13 holes but afterward added two bogeys and one double bogey to nullify his effort. He is now tied in 23rd with seven other players, including Lee Seung-man, a hearing-impaired Korean golfer.

Wie finally proves a cut above
By Andrew Both
Last Updated: 11:26pm BST 05/05/2006
It was eighth time lucky for Michelle Wie yesterday as the 16-year-old finally made a cut in a men's tournament.
Competing in the Asian Tour's SK Telecom Open in South Korea, the homeland of her parents, the Hawaiian-born Wie carded a second-round 69 to post a five-under-par 139 halfway total, leaving her tied for 17th, six shots off the lead.
"I can't believe that I've made the cut," said Wie, who claimed to have a touch of flu. "I'm really excited and happy and now I want play welI in the next two rounds. Then, after this, I want to challenge on the US PGA Tour, where I hope to be in the top 10 someday."

She is the first female to make the cut in an internationally recognised men's event since Babe Zaharias at the 1945 Los Angeles Open. And, though the Asian Tour is not very strong, it is part of the International Federation of PGA Tours, with world ranking points awarded at its events.
Wie has a busy summer lined up. She will try to qualify for the men's US Open, and also has committed to the US PGA Tour's John Deere Classic in July and the 84 Lumber Classic in September.
She twice previously came within a shot of making the cut in a men's event, at the US PGA Tour's 2004 Sony Open, and at last November's Casio World Open on the Japan Tour.
At the US PGA Tour's Wachovia Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bo Van Pelt shot a sizzling 64 to earn the clubhouse lead after his second round at Quail Hollow.
He was on 10-under 134, three shots clear of fellow American Jim Furyk, with Davis Love four behind and Vijay Singh five back. The early British starters were disappointing, with Lee Westwood and Graeme McDowelI certain to miss the cut. Justin Rose and Luke Donald, who were well placed after the first round, had late tee times.
Billy Payne will be the new chairman of Augusta National, replacing Hootie Johnson, who is stepping down after eight years at the helm of the club that runs and hosts the Masters.
"I've enjoyed my time serving as chairman," Johnson, 75, said in a statement. "I know I leave the championship in very capable hands."
Under Johnson's leadership, Augusta National was lengthened by 300 yards before the 2002 Masters, and stretched by another 155 yards before this year's event. The latest lengthening was criticised by the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer but, based on the evidence of last month's Masters, the changes did not eliminate the chances of the shorter hitters.
"I think he'll have a very positive legacy," Furyk said of Johnson.
Payne, 58, has headed the Masters media committee since 2000, but his main claim to fame is a dubious one: he was head of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, widely considered the worst-run Games of the modern era.

Bird Poop as Political Commentary
President George W. Bush was busy praising embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at a press conference Thursday when a bold sparrow swooped overhead and deposited a present on the commander in chief’s left sleeve. Though a White House spokesperson claimed it was a good sign, we here at Truthdig beg to differ.
Editor’s note: It is our impression that such portentious avian omens must be administered to the cranial region in order to signify good luck. Are we mistaken? Discuss.
ABC News: As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, “I’ve got confidence in Al Gonzales doin’ the job.” Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President’s sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.

Bush In Line of Fire
ABC's Ann Compton reports: An outdoor news conference in perfect spring weather, with birds chirping loudly in the magnolia trees, is not without its hazards.
As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, "I've got confidence in Al Gonzales doin' the job."
Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President's sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promptly put the incident through the proper spin cycle, telling ABC News, "It was his lucky day...everyone knows that's a sign of good luck."

Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, June 25, 2006; Page A01
In late January 2003, as Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare.
Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph.
A few days later, the lines were back in the speech. Powell stood before the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5 and said: "We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails."
The sentence took Drumheller completely by surprise.
"We thought we had taken care of the problem," said the man who was the CIA's European operations chief before retiring last year, "but I turn on the television and there it was, again."
While the administration has repeatedly acknowledged intelligence failures over Iraqi weapons claims that led to war, new accounts by former insiders such as Drumheller shed light on one of the most spectacular failures of all: How U.S. intelligence agencies were eagerly drawn in by reports about a troubled defector's claims of secret germ factories in the Iraqi desert. The mobile labs were never found.
Drumheller, who is writing a book about his experiences, described in extensive interviews repeated attempts to alert top CIA officials to problems with the defector, code-named Curveball, in the days before the Powell speech. Other warnings came prior to President Bush's State of the Union address on Jan. 28, 2003. In the same speech that contained the now famous "16 words" on Iraqi attempts to acquire uranium, Bush spoke in far greater detail about mobile labs "designed to produce germ warfare agents."
The warnings triggered debates within the CIA but ultimately made no visible impact at the top, current and former intelligence officials said. In briefing Powell before his U.N. speech, George Tenet, then the CIA director, personally vouched for the accuracy of the mobile-lab claim, according to participants in the briefing. Tenet now says he did not learn of the problems with Curveball until much later and that he received no warnings from Drumheller or anyone else.
"No one mentioned Drumheller, or Curveball," Lawrence B. Wilkerson, Powell's chief of staff at the time, said in an interview. "I didn't know the name Curveball until months afterward."
Curveball's role in shaping U.S. declarations about Iraqi bioweapons capabilities was first described in a series of reports in the Los Angeles Times, and later in a March 2005 report by a presidential commission on U.S. intelligence failures regarding allegations that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. But Drumheller's first-hand accounts add new detail about the CIA's embrace of a source whose credibility was already unraveling.
More than a year after Powell's speech, after an investigation that extended to three continents, the CIA acknowledged that Curveball was a con artist who drove a taxi in Iraq and spun his engineering knowledge into a fantastic but plausible tale about secret bioweapons factories on wheels.
But in the fall of 2002, Curveball was living the life of an important spy. A Baghdad native whose real name has never been released, he was residing in a safe house in Germany, where he had requested asylum three years earlier. In return for immigration permits for himself and his family, the Iraqi supplied Germany's foreign intelligence service with what appeared to be a rare insider's account of one of President Saddam Hussein's long-rumored WMD programs.

George Tenet
Former CIA Director George Tenet and Deputy Director, John E. McLaughlin lied to then Secretary of State Colin Powell about the depth of evidence regarding mobile chemical weapons labs built by Iraq for germ warfare, according to a story published today in the Washington Post.
In their briefings to Powell on Feb. 4, 2003, one day before the secretary's United Nations speech, Tenet and McLaughlin told Powell the evidence on the mobile labs was exceptionally strong, based on multiple sources whose stories were independently corroborated. According ex-CIA officer Tyler Drumheller, McLaughlin knew this was not true. A few days earlier, Tyler says, McLaughlin became alarmed at discovering there was only one tangible source of information on the labs. Tenet's knowledge on lab intelligence is not well known, except that he strongly supported the veracity of reports on chemical weapons labs.
In a late-night check of the facts, the night before Powell's speech, Tenet called CIA officer Tyler Drumheller. When the subject of the mobile labs came up, Drumheller told Tenet about the unreliability of the information, but Tenet seemed distracted and tired and told him not to worry.
Tenet and McLaughlin both deny the account given by Drumheller. McLaughlin says he cannot remember anyone making the problem clear to him prior to the UN speech. Drumheller says he had spelled out the problem to McLaughlin, in an ad-hoc meeting held in McLaughlin's office with one other person present. Tenet responded to questions on this story by providing the Washington Post with a statement he had given in response to the Silberman-Robb Commission, in which he said he didn't learn of the problems with Curveball until much later. He did not recall talking to Drumheller about Curveball, and said it was "simply wrong" for anyone to imply that he knew about the problems with Curveball's credibility.
From the statements made, one can conclude that either Drumheller is lying or Tenet and McLaughlin told Powell they had more evidence on the chemical weapons labs than they actually did have.

La Secretaría de Estado de la Santa Sede publicó hoy un comunicado en el que rechaza los "intentos de condicionar a los cardenales, con vistas al cónclave con la difusión de noticias a menudo no verificadas o verificables y por lo tanto, falsas, con gran daño a personas e instituciones".
Mediante una nota publicada en la página web de Radio Vaticana, la secretaria de Estado recuerda que "la libertad de la Colegio Cardenalicio, cuya misión es la de proporcionar un nuevo papa a la Iglesia Católica, siempre ha sido defendida por la Iglesia, para asegurar una elección basada únicamente en decisiones en pro de la Iglesia".
"A través de los siglos, los cardenales han tenido que hacer frente a múltiples presiones a la hora de elegir pontífice por parte de diferentes poderes, afrontando lógicas de tipo político y mundano" continuó la nota de la institución vaticana que preside el cardenal Tarcisio Bertone.
Según el comunicado, el modo actual en el que se intenta influir en los cardenales ha cambiado y, en la actualidad, "se intenta alterar a la opinión pública mediante argumentos y valoraciones que no recogen el sentir espiritual que la Iglesia está viviendo".
"Es deplorable que, según se acerca la fecha del cónclave, se multiplique la difusión de noticias a menudo no verificadas que causan un gran daño a la institución y a sus integrantes", concluyó.
Por su parte, el portavoz vaticano, el jesuita Federico Lombardi, también denunció hoy la existencia de esas mismas presiones para condicionar el libre ejercicio de voto en el cónclave, ya que en su opinión varios cardenales están siendo "considerados indeseables por una razón o por otra".
Lombardi firmó este sábado un editorial en la Radio Vaticana, en el que subraya que "el camino de la Iglesia en las últimas semanas del pontificado del Papa Benedicto XVI, hasta elección del nuevo Papa a través de la "Sede Vacante" y el cónclave, es "muy difícil, dada la novedad de la situación"
Además, compareció ante los medios con una breve rueda de prensa en El Vaticano.
Durante la misma, el jesuita aseguró que no todos los medios de comunicación pueden ser acusados de publicar rumores, pero indicó que es el caso de algunos italianos y de varios extranjeros que continúan difamando con noticias que hablan de una "forma negativa y premeditada".
Y llamó a los medios de comunicación a informar con mesura sobre todo lo que acontece en la Iglesia católica,
"No falta quien trata de aprovecharse del momento de sorpresa y de desorientación de los espíritus débiles para sembrar confusión y desacreditar a la Iglesia y a su gobierno, recurriendo a instrumentos antiguos, tales como la murmuración, la desinformación, a veces la misma calumnia", aseveró en su editorial.
En este sentido, aludió a los que hacen "una presión inaceptable para condicionar el ejercicio del derecho a votar por uno o por otro miembro del Colegio de cardenales, considerados indeseables por una razón o por la otra".
Y agregó que "quien tiene en cuenta en primer lugar el dinero, el sexo y el poder, está acostumbrado a leer con estos parámetros la realidad, y no es capaz de ver ni siquiera a la Iglesia, porque su mirada no es capaz de dirigirse hacia las alturas o descender en profundidad y comprender las dimensiones espirituales de la existencia".

Ab 1. November 2005 wird auf den Reisepässen in einem integrierten Chip das digitalisierte Lichtbild gespeichert. Mit der Einführung des ePasses ist die Bundesrepublik das erste Land, das die EG-Verordnung über Normen für Sicherheitsmerkmale und biometrische Daten in von den Mitgliedstaaten ausgestellten Pässen und Reisedokumenten umsetzt.
Der Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Peter Schaar zur Einführung des neuen ePasses: „Mir ist es besonders wichtig, dass die biometrischen Daten tatsächlich nur im Pass selbst und nicht in externen Dateien gespeichert werden. Bisher fehlen internationale Regelungen, die dies sicherstellen. Ich halte es nicht für zielführend, dass die Ergebnisse der vom Bundesinnenministerium veranlassten Tests zur System- und Überwindungssicherheit der biometrischen Verfahren weitgehend unter Verschluss gehalten werden. Eine nachvollziehbare Bewertung, ob und wie viel mehr Sicherheit die Biometriepässe bringen, ist deshalb nicht möglich.“
Im Folgenden finden Sie Antworten auf die wichtigsten datenschutzrechtlichen Fragen:
Werden die biometrischen Daten nur auf dem Chip gespeichert?
In den Passbehörden werden die biometrischen Daten nicht gespeichert. Die Einrichtung einer bundesweiten Datenbank ist durch das Passgesetz ausgeschlossen. Allerdings können ausländische Staaten die biometrischen Angaben der Reisenden nach dem Auslesen der Pässe in Datenbanken speichern.
Sollen neben dem Lichtbild noch weitere biometrische Merkmale aufgenommen werden?
Die EG-Verordnung sieht die Einführung von Fingerabdrücken in den ePass als zweites biometrisches Merkmal bis zum 28. Februar 2008 vor. In Deutschland sollen die Fingerabdrücke auf dem Chip bereits ab dem Jahr 2007 gespeichert werden. Die Chips können technisch jedoch noch weitere biometrische Merkmale aufnehmen.
Enthalten biometrische Daten auch Erkenntnisse über Krankheiten oder sonstige persönliche Eigenschaften?
Grundsätzlich ja. So lassen sich aus dem Gesichtsbild Rückschlüsse auf die ethnische Herkunft und bestimmte Krankheiten und Lebensumstände ziehen. Im Unterschied zum herkömmlichen Passfoto können diese Informationen jedoch automatisiert ausgewertet werden.
Sind die gespeicherten Daten auf dem Chip vor Veränderungen geschützt?
Der Chip wird nach der Einbringung in das Passbuch in der Bundesdruckerei GmbH versiegelt und soll dann nicht mehr verändert werden können.
Sind die biometrischen Daten vor unberechtigtem Auslesen geschützt?
Ein Auslesen der im Chip gespeicherten Daten ist möglich, wenn die maschinenlesbare Zone des Passes bekannt ist. Die Kommunikation zwischen dem Lesesystem und dem Chip soll zusätzlich verschlüsselt werden.
Können die gespeicherten Daten auf dem Chip vom Passinhaber selbst überprüft werden?
In allen Passbehörden sollen Lesegeräte installiert werden, an denen die Bürgerinnen und Bürger ihre auf dem Chip gespeicherten Daten einsehen können.

Ab heute gibt es in Deutschland den biometrischen Reisepass (ePass). Damit ist Deutschland eines der ersten Länder der Europäischen Union (EU), das den neuen Pass einführt.
Der neue Reisepass enthält einen RFID-Chip mit dem digitalen Bild des Passinhabers. Ab März 2007 werden auch die Fingerabdrücke der beiden Zeigefinger des Passinhabers als weiteres biometrisches Merkmal aufgenommen. Die RFID-Technik ermöglicht dabei das drahtlose Auslesen der Daten aus dem Pass.
Durch die Aufnahme der biometrischen Merkmale soll die Fälschungssicherheit der Pässe erhöht werden. Dazu Bundesinnenminister Otto Schily (SPD): „Der neue ePass ist ein Sicherheitsgewinn für Deutschland. Er ist noch stärker gegen Fälschungsversuche geschützt und unterstützt künftig die Identitätsfeststellung bei der Grenzkontrolle. Bei der Konzeption der neuen Pässe waren Datenschutz und Datensicherheit ein wichtiges Anliegen. Die Daten auf dem Chip sind sicher gegen unberechtigte Zugriffe geschützt.“
Der Preis des neuen Passes verdoppelt sich: Anstatt der bisherigen 26 Euro kostet der ePass 59 Euro - 37,50 Euro für Personen unter 26 Jahren. Wer noch einen alten Pass besitzt, muss ihn nicht umtauschen. Die alten Pässe behalten ihre Gültigkeit.
Wiederholt hatten Kritiker, darunter der Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragte Peter Schaar, die Einführung der neuen Pässe angegriffen. In einer Pressemitteilung erkärte Schaar: „Mir ist es besonders wichtig, dass die biometrischen Daten tatsächlich nur im Pass selbst und nicht in externen Dateien gespeichert werden. Bisher fehlen internationale Regelungen, die dies sicherstellen.“
Im Hinblick auf den vom Bundesinnenministerium nicht veröffentlichten Teil der Bio-P II-Studie zur System- und Überwindungssicherheit biometrischer Verfahren griff Schaar nochmals Schily an: „Ich halte es nicht für zielführend, dass die Ergebnisse der vom Bundesinnenministerium veranlassten Tests zur System- und Überwindungssicherheit der biometrischen Verfahren weitgehend unter Verschluss gehalten werden. Eine nachvollziehbare Bewertung, ob und wie viel mehr Sicherheit die Biometriepässe bringen, ist deshalb nicht möglich.“
Des Weiteren wird in Frage gestellt, ob die neue Technik überhaupt Vorteile bringt. Eine vom Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) durchgeführte Studie am Frankfurter Flughafen kam zu folgendem Ergebnis: Eine hohe Rückweisungsquote in den am Frankfurter Flughafen durchgeführten Testläufen lässt befürchten, dass der ePass zunächst die Abfertigung verzögert, anstatt sie zu vereinfachen.

An Allerheiligen kommt der biometrische Reisepass. Das bedeutet, dass der alte maschinenlesbare Reisepass ohne biometrische Merkmale am heutigen Montag zum letzten Male beantragt werden kann. Mit dem biometrischen Reisepass übernimmt die Bundesrepublik Deutschland eine Vorreiterrolle innerhalb der Europäischen Union. Anzeige

In der ersten Version enthält der biometrische Reisepass ein Bild des Ausweisinhabers, das auf einem Chip gespeichert ist. Dieser Chip wird per Funk kontaktiert und schickt die auf ihm gespeicherten Daten, das Gesichtsbild und eine digitale Signatur, nur dann zurück, wenn der Zugriffsschlüssel bei der Abfrage stimmt. Dieser Schlüssel wird aus dem maschinenlesbaren Teil des Reisepasses gewonnen, der 1987 eingeführt wurde. Im Jahre 2007 oder später soll zum Gesichtsbild der Fingerabdruck kommen. In dieser zweiten Version erfordert der biometrische Reisepass den Aufbau einer komplexen Infrastruktur, weil beim Fingerabdruck online überprüft werden soll, ob die begleitende digitale Signatur gültig ist.
Die Chiptechnik treibt die Kosten für die Erstellung des Reisepasses von derzeit 26 Euro auf 59 Euro. Damit ist der deutsche Reisepass fast schon ein Schnäppchen: In den USA soll der entsprechende Pass 75 Euro kosten, in Großbritannien 103 Euro und in der Schweiz sogar 150 Euro. Im Alpenland ist der Pass jedoch eine freiwillige Sache. Wer den Aufwand und den Preis scheut, kann den normalen Reisepass bestellen. Der in der Schweiz und Großbritannien getriebene Aufwand, ein Foto für den neuen Pass in einem speziellen biometrischen Erfassungscenter herstellen zu lassen, entfällt in Deutschland. Hier muss das Foto nur der genormten Fotomustertafel entsprechen, die die Bundesdruckerei veröffentlicht hat. Diese private Firma ist mit der Ausgabe des neuen Reisepasses beauftragt und liefert auch die Programme "Digant", "TempID" und "e-IDinfo", mit denen der neue Pass beantragt und der Stand seiner Produktion überprüft werden kann.
Ob die biometrische Technik überhaupt Vorteile besitzt, ist umstritten. Eine hohe Rückweisungsquote in den am Frankfurter Flughafen durchgeführten Testläufen lässt befürchten, dass der Pass zunächst die Abfertigung verzögert, anstatt sie zu vereinfachen. Im Gutachten zu diesem Problem hat das Bundesamt für Sicherheit (BSI) die Hoffnung geäußert, dass sich die Ausweisinhaber im Alltag an die Biometrie gewöhnen und mit der zunehmenden Nutzung biometrischer Systeme lernen, sich vor den Prüfgeräten richtig zu verhalten.
In einem Interview mit der Süddeutschen Zeitung bekräftigte der Bundesdatenschützer Peter Schaar heute noch einmal seine Kritik am neuen Pass. Durch die Speicherung des Gesichtsbildes gebe es kaum einen Zugewinn an Sicherheit, betonte Schaar auf die Frage, was die digitale Speicherung des Gesichtsbildes bringe: "Außer hohen Kosten wohl nicht sehr viel. Zunächst werden die Deutschen und dann alle Europäer zwar mit biometrischen Merkmalen im Pass ausgestattet, im Moment gibt es jedoch keine Lesegeräte dafür. Die werden erst allmählich installiert. Die EU und das Bundesinnenministerium haben sich nach dem 11. September sehr schnell auf biometrische Merkmale im Pass festgelegt, obwohl fast alle Terroristen von New York mit ihren echten Papieren gereist sind." (Detlef Borchers) / (jk/c't)

Ab heute gibt es in Deutschland den biometrischen Reisepass (ePass). Damit ist Deutschland eines der ersten Länder der Europäischen Union (EU), das den neuen Pass einführt.
Der neue Reisepass enthält einen RFID-Chip mit dem digitalen Bild des Passinhabers. Ab März 2007 werden auch die Fingerabdrücke der beiden Zeigefinger des Passinhabers als weiteres biometrisches Merkmal aufgenommen. Die RFID-Technik ermöglicht dabei das drahtlose Auslesen der Daten aus dem Pass.
Durch die Aufnahme der biometrischen Merkmale soll die Fälschungssicherheit der Pässe erhöht werden. Dazu Bundesinnenminister Otto Schily (SPD): „Der neue ePass ist ein Sicherheitsgewinn für Deutschland. Er ist noch stärker gegen Fälschungsversuche geschützt und unterstützt künftig die Identitätsfeststellung bei der Grenzkontrolle. Bei der Konzeption der neuen Pässe waren Datenschutz und Datensicherheit ein wichtiges Anliegen. Die Daten auf dem Chip sind sicher gegen unberechtigte Zugriffe geschützt.“
Der Preis des neuen Passes verdoppelt sich: Anstatt der bisherigen 26 Euro kostet der ePass 59 Euro - 37,50 Euro für Personen unter 26 Jahren. Wer noch einen alten Pass besitzt, muss ihn nicht umtauschen. Die alten Pässe behalten ihre Gültigkeit.
Wiederholt hatten Kritiker, darunter der Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragte Peter Schaar, die Einführung der neuen Pässe angegriffen. In einer Pressemitteilung erkärte Schaar: „Mir ist es besonders wichtig, dass die biometrischen Daten tatsächlich nur im Pass selbst und nicht in externen Dateien gespeichert werden. Bisher fehlen internationale Regelungen, die dies sicherstellen.“
Im Hinblick auf den vom Bundesinnenministerium nicht veröffentlichten Teil der Bio-P II-Studie zur System- und Überwindungssicherheit biometrischer Verfahren griff Schaar nochmals Schily an: „Ich halte es nicht für zielführend, dass die Ergebnisse der vom Bundesinnenministerium veranlassten Tests zur System- und Überwindungssicherheit der biometrischen Verfahren weitgehend unter Verschluss gehalten werden. Eine nachvollziehbare Bewertung, ob und wie viel mehr Sicherheit die Biometriepässe bringen, ist deshalb nicht möglich.“
Des Weiteren wird in Frage gestellt, ob die neue Technik überhaupt Vorteile bringt. Eine vom Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) durchgeführte Studie am Frankfurter Flughafen kam zu folgendem Ergebnis: Eine hohe Rückweisungsquote in den am Frankfurter Flughafen durchgeführten Testläufen lässt befürchten, dass der ePass zunächst die Abfertigung verzögert, anstatt sie zu vereinfachen.

Strażacy zakończyli, trwająca od ubiegłego piątku, akcję gaśniczą składowiska odpadów w Zgierzu. Miejsce zdarzenia przekazano właścicielom obiektu - poinformował w piątek rzecznik strażaków w Łódzkiem Jędrzej Pawlak. Śledztwo ws. pożaru prowadzi Prokuratura Okręgowa w Łodzi.
Pożar na terenie składowiska odpadów znajdującego się na terenie dawnego zakładu Boruta w Zgierzu, wybuchł w piątek w nocy. Z ogniem, który objął ok. 1,5 ha powierzchni, przez tydzień walczyło ponad 1000 strażaków, także strażaków ochotników. Na miejscu pracowały też m.in. spychacze, koparki, które umożliwiały rozwarstwienie odpadów i dogaszenie ich.
W akcji brali udział również wojskowi strażacy z Leźnicy Wielkiej oraz żołnierze z Centralnego Ośrodka Analizy Skażeń (COAS), którzy zbadają próbki gleby i sprawdzą, czy pozostałości na wysypisku i w pobliskich miejscowościach nie zagrażają zdrowiu mieszkańców.
Straż nie potrafi jeszcze oszacować, jak dużo odpadów spłonęło na zajmującym ok. 5 ha terenie zgierskiego składowiska. Według mediów w tym miejscu mogło znajdować się co najmniej 50 tys. ton odpadów m.in. z Wielkiej Brytanii, Belgii, Niemiec, Włoch.
Seria pożarów na składowiskach odpadów
Śledztwo ws. pożaru prowadzi Prokuratura Okręgowa w Łodzi. Toczy się ono w sprawie umyślnego sprowadzenia pożaru, który zagraża życiu lub zdrowiu wielu osób albo mieniu o wielkich rozmiarach i stwarzającego zagrożenie zanieczyszczenia środowiska. Grozi za to do 10 lat więzienia.
Tymczasem - jak poinformowała w piątek Prokuratura Krajowa - sprawą ostatnich pożarów na składowiskach odpadów, jakie wybuchły w kraju zbada zespół prokuratorów. Śledczy mają ustalić ewentualne powiązania pomiędzy pożarami wysypisk. Polecenie powołania zespołu składającego się z prokuratorów oraz przedstawicieli różnych służb wydał minister sprawiedliwości-Prokurator Generalny Zbigniew Ziobro.
W ostatnich dniach do pożarów wysypisk śmieci dochodziło w różnych częściach kraju. Płonęło m.in. wysypisko w Zgierzu, składowisko opon w Trzebini i wysypisko w miejscowości Wszedzień k. Mogilna (woj. kujawsko-pomorskie). Według służb, wiele wskazuje, że niektóre pożary wysypisk nie były przypadkowe, chodziło o nielegalne pozbycie się odpadów.
Według Ministerstwa Środowiska w 2018 r. roku odnotowano 63 pożary wysypisk i składowisk śmieci i odpadów. W tym 27 bardzo dużych i dużych (czyli takich, w których gaszeniu brało udział kilkadziesiąt jednostek straży). W całym ubiegłym roku Państwowa Straż Pożarna zanotowała 37 takich pożarów.

Pożar składowiska w Zgierzu, 26 maja 2018
'''Kilkadziesiąt pożarów składowisk śmieci wybuchło w różnych miejscach Polski w tym roku.'''
W piątek, 25 maja 2018 roku w nocy wybuchł pożar składowiska odpadów na terenie dawnych zakładów „Boruta” w Zgierzu. Pożar, który objął ok. 1,5 ha terenu, osiągnął tak duże rozmiary, że gaszenie go trwało ok. tygodnia. Walkę z ogniem toczyło ok. 1000 strażaków oraz ciężki sprzęt. Do analizy próbek gleby wezwano wojskowych specjalistów z Centralnego Ośrodka Analizy Skażeń (COAS), którzy zbadają próbki gleby i sprawdzą, czy pogorzelisko nie zagraża zdrowiu mieszkańców. Media szacują, że na wysypisku mogło znajdować się nawet 50 tys. ton odpadów pochodzących z Europy Zachodniej.
Nie był to jedyny pożar w tym okresie. Do podobnych pożarów dochodziło w całym kraju, płonęły m.in. wysypiska w miejscowościach: Trzebinia, Wszedzień k. Mogilna, Zambrze, Wszedzień, Dąbrówka Wlkp., Pysząca, Siemianowice Śląskie, Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Chorzów, Katowice, Serniki i Piotrków Trybunalski. Od początku roku odnotowano 63 pożary składowisk odpadów, w tym 27 dużych. Dla porównania w całym roku ubiegłym było ich 37. Według Straży są przesłanki wskazujące na to, że pożary mogły nie być przypadkowe, a podpalenia miały umożliwić nielegalne pozbycie się odpadów.
Centrum Informacyjne Rządu poinformowało w komunikacie 29 maja 2018, że zidentyfikowano ok. 120 miejsc nielegalnego składowania odpadów, które były sprowadzane z całej Europy. Jak poinformowała rzeczniczka Prokuratury Krajowej, Ewa Bialik Prokuratura zleciła przeprowadzenie analizy postępowań prowadzonych w sprawach nielegalnego postępowania z odpadami. Ma to doprowadzić do ustalenia ewentualnych powiązań między podmiotami zaangażowanymi w nielegalny proceder składowania odpadów. Także Minister Środowiska Henryk Kowalczyk poinformował, że resort przedstawi projekty rozwiązań, które mają zapobiec procederowi nielegalne składowanie odpadów i pozbywanie się ich.

Najczęściej strażacy wyjeżdżali do pożarów na wysypiskach w woj. łódzkim. Oficer prasowy Komendanta Wojewódzkiego Państwowej Straży Pożarnej w Łodzi st. kpt. Jędrzej Pawlak przekazał PAP, że tylko w ostatnim miesiącu strażacy byli wzywani do ośmiu pożarów składowisk i wysypisk w województwie. "Były to mniejsze i większe zdarzenia, do których wysyłaliśmy od kilku do kilkudziesięciu zastępów. Najwięcej - łącznie ponad 1000 strażaków - uczestniczyło w ostatniej akcji gaśniczej w Zgierzu" – poinformował Pawlak.
W kwietniu wybuchł groźny pożar na składowisku elektroodpadów w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim. Gasiło go kilkanaście zespołów straży pożarnej, w tym zespół ratownictwa chemicznego. Ogień objął około tysiąca metrów kwadratowych.
Według Pawlaka, ostatnio rośnie liczba takich zdarzeń. W całym 2017 roku strażacy w Łódzkiem do dużych i bardzo dużych pożarów składowisk i wysypisk wyjeżdżali tylko cztery razy.
Dużo pracy mieli również strażacy w Kujawsko-pomorskiem. Od początku roku prowadzili akcje gaśnicze na sześciu wysypiskach. W ostatnich dwóch miesiącach płonęły składowiska w miejscowościach: Zambrze, pow. brodnicki - 13 kwietnia był tam duży pożar składowiska opon, Łabiszyn, pow. żniński - 20 maja - średni pożar składowiska śmieci, Wróble, pow. inowrocławski - 27 maja - średni pożar śmieci na nieużytkach, Wszedzień, pow. mogileński - 28 maja - bardzo duży pożar składowiska chemikaliów. Ze statystyk PSP na Kujawach i Pomorzu wynika, że w ostatnich latach liczba pożarów śmieci rośnie. W 2016 r. było 10 pożarów składowisk odpadów, w 2017 r. - 12, w ciągu pięciu miesięcy 2018 roku - sześć.
Podobną liczbę takich pożarów odnotowali od początku 2018 r. pożarnicy z woj. lubuskiego. Do największych z tych sześciu należał pożar w Dąbrówce Wlkp., gdzie na terenie firmy przetwarzającej odpady spaliły się w części odpady z tworzyw sztucznych magazynowe w celu przetworzenia. Akcja gaśnicza trwała dwa dni.
W zeszłym roku kilkanaście dni trwało gaszenie odpadów z tworzyw sztucznych przeznaczonych do przetworzenia w miejscowości Brożek. W 2016 r. tak dużych pożarów na Lubelszczyźnie nie było.
Wielkopolscy strażacy w tym roku walczyli z ogniem na wysypiskach i składowiskach już pięć razy. W całym ubiegłym roku - siedem. Rzecznik prasowy wielkopolskiej straży pożarnej Sławomir Brandt podał, że pod koniec kwietnia strażacy przez kilka dni walczyli z pożarem składowiska odpadów w miejscowości Pysząca (pow. śremski). Pożar objął około 4 tys. m kw. Zapaliły się odpady składowane w balotach. Ze względu na obecność dużej ilości plastikowych odpadów występowało gęste zadymienie.
Przed niemałym wyzwaniem stanęli również strażacy ze Śląska. Rzeczniczka śląskiej straży pożarnej st. kpt. Aneta Gołębiowska poinformowała, że od kwietnia były tam cztery pożary składowisk odpadów, które objęły ponad 300 m kw., a zatem zostały zakwalifikowane jako "duże" lub "bardzo duże". Były to pożary w Siemianowicach Śląskich, Jastrzębiu-Zdroju, Chorzowie i Katowicach.
W Jastrzębiu-Zdroju paliło się 15 kwietnia. Ogień objął 980 m kw. W Siemianowicach Śląskich 15 kwietnia płonęło około 3 tys. m kw składowiska. Pożar hali magazynowej z odpadami w Chorzowie 26 maja objął 700 m - gasiło go 21 zastępów strażaków. Natomiast 26 zastępów gasiło pożar pustostanu przy ul. Woźniaka w Katowicach, przy którym składowano beczki z odpadami.
Pożar w Siemianowicach Śląskich był jednym z największych ostatnio pożarów składowisk odpadów w regionie. Objął całe składowisko o wymiarach około 50 na 60 m, na którym znajdowały się wysokie na około 5 metrów zwały śmieci - głównie odpadów komunalnych. W szczytowym momencie pożar gasiło 80 strażaków, a miasto i okolice spowiły kłęby dymu. Przeprowadzona na składowisku kontrola wykazała m.in., że odpady były składowane w miejscu do tego nieprzeznaczonym.
W Zachodniopomorskiem były w tym roku dwa pożary wysypisk - w Policach i w Szczecinie. W ub.r. pożar wybuchł na wysypisku śmieci w Sianowie w powiecie koszalińskim - powiedział rzecznik wojewódzkiego komendanta Państwowej Straży Pożarnej w Szczecinie Tomasz Kubiak.
O szczęściu mogą mówić m.in. dolnośląscy strażacy. Omijały ich wielkie pożary śmieci. Według rzecznika dolnośląskiej straży pożarnej Daniela Muchy poniedziałkowy niewielki pożar w hali rozbiórkowej firmy zajmującej się recyklingiem starych pojazdów w Jeleniej Górze to jedyny incydent związany z odpadami. Spaliło się tam kilka aut rozebranych na części. "W ciągu ostatnich dwóch lat nie mieliśmy zgłoszeń o dużych pożarach na wysypiskach" - dodał rzecznik.
Także w woj. świętokrzyskim strażacy odnotowali w tym roku tylko jeden pożar na wysypisku śmieci. Jak przekazał PAP oficer prasowy KW PSP w Kielcach bryg. Paweł Ksel, w tym województwie od 2014 r. było 28 pożarów wysypisk śmieci i składowisk odpadów. Najczęściej dochodziło do podpalenia lub samozapłonu.
Natomiast według informacji warmińsko-mazurskiej straży pożarnej, od 2016 r. w województwie zanotowano sześć pożarów na składowiskach i w sortowniach odpadów. Oprócz niedawnego w Zakładzie Gospodarki Odpadami Komunalnymi w Olsztynie, w 2015 r. ogień wybuchł w Komunalnym Zakładzie Gospodarki Odpadami w Ciechanówku, w 2016 r. w Przedsiębiorstwie Gospodarki Odpadami Eko Mazury w Siedliskach koło Ełku, w 2017 r. w Zakładzie Utylizacji Odpadów w Elblągu oraz na stacji przeładunkowej i w punkcie dobrowolnego gromadzenia odpadów w Polskiej Wsi koło Mrągowa oraz w Sortowni Odpadów "Dbaj" w Świętajnie w powiecie szczycieńskim.
Na Lubelszczyźnie w kwietniu wybuchł duży pożar w Sernikach w przedsiębiorstwie, które przetwarza zużyte opony na oleje i produkty ropopochodne. Poprzedni duży pożar opon, w innej takiej firmie, wydarzył się w 2015 r. w Rykach. W obu przypadkach akcje strażaków trwały kilkanaście godzinach. Nie było jednak w ostatnich latach w regionie dużego pożaru na składowisku odpadów – poinformował rzecznik komendanta wojewódzkiego PSP w Lublinie Tomasz Stachyra.
Dane uzyskane przez PAP są niepełne. Według Ministerstwa Środowiska w tym roku odnotowano 63 pożary wysypisk i składowisk śmieci i odpadów. W tym 27 bardzo dużych i dużych (czyli takich, w których gaszeniu brało udział kilkadziesiąt jednostek straży). W całym ubiegłym roku Państwowa Straż Pożarna zanotowała 37 takich pożarów.

Police said 2-3kg of dynamite was used in the attack
The blast happened at the time when Mr Voulgarakis would normally have been passing by on his way to work. Nobody was hurt by the explosion.
Mr Voulgarakis headed the law and order ministry before moving to culture this year. The move was seen as a demotion following a phone-tapping scandal.
So far no-one has said they carried out the attack.
Reshuffle
A police official told the BBC the minister was clearly the target.
Mr Voulgarakis said this was an "attack against democracy"
Mr Voulgarakis was unscathed on Tuesday morning because he had been delayed by a few minutes.
At least five cars were damaged in the explosion.
Police told Reuters news agency the device contained 2-3kg (4-7lb) of dynamite and was strapped to a bicycle seat near a car. Other reports said the device was under the car.
Mr Voulgarakis said: "It was an attack against democracy. I have complete confidence that the Greek police will do their job."
Mr Voulgarakis, 46, was moved to the culture ministry in a cabinet reshuffle this year after a controversial period as minister of public order.
In February he and other key ministers were forced to admit that the mobile phones of most of the cabinet and top security officials had been tapped in 2004 - the year of the Athens Olympics.
The BBC's Richard Galpin in Athens says it is widely believed American intelligence agents were responsible.
Mr Voulgarakis had also been criticised for categorically denying allegations last year that a group of Pakistani men in Athens had been abducted and interrogated by Greek and foreign intelligence agents over possible links to terrorist groups.
A prosecutor has since upheld the allegations.
Although no-one has yet claimed responsibility for Tuesday's bomb attack, left-wing extremists are likely to come under suspicion, our correspondent says.
Bomb attacks have become rarer since the conviction of the leaders of the November 17 guerrilla group prior to the Athens Olympics.

A bomb exploded near the house of the Greek Culture Minister,Georgios Voulgarakis, in Lycabettus Hill, Athens, wrecking a number of cars.
The device, which the police said consisted of 2-3 kg (4-7lb) of dynamite, had been placed on a bike left between two cars.
The explosion at 7:42am (GMT +2), close to the home of Minister Voulgarakis, is the second time the former Minister for Public Order has been the target of a bomb attack.
While the perpertrators are not yet known, Giorgos Voulgarakis, who had been receiving death threats, is unpopular with leftist parties over questions of immigration.
A trained dog of a Greek anti-terrorist unit had been sniffing around the area of the Minister’s home each morning. The September 2003 attack nearly burned down his house.
Two primary schools and a kindergarten nearby were slightly damaged but there were no reported injuries.
As bomb technicians searched the school grounds, frantic parents rushed to take their children home.
The leftist "Epanastatikos Laekos Agonas"(Revolutionary popular rally), is the group which some Greek media have accused for today's bomb attack. No official claim of responsibility has yet been made and the police investigation continues.
All the Greek parties, including the major opposition party, PASOK; the Communist Party (KKE), Synaspismos and LAOS parties, have strongly condemned the terrorist attack.

The winner, wishing to remain anonymous, will receive $165 million in total, after federal taxes, reports spokesperson for the lottery Cathy Doyle Johnston.
David Reese, a assistant manager, was informed by the winner around 2:30 local time Wednesday. Reese told the employees working the night shift to keep the name a secret until the winner wishes to step forward.
Reese said the winner worked for NBC as a freelancer for four years, and her husband was laid off two weeks ago.
L & L Hawaiian BBQ in , California, sold the winning ticket with the numbers 9, 21, 31, 36, 43, and the "Mega Number" 8. Danny He, the owner of the BBQ, will receive $1 million from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
According to lottery officials, there was a 1 in 175,711,536 chance in winning with all six numbers with 38 other states and the District of Colombia playing as well.

TV news employee in LA has $266M winning ticket
LOS ANGELES — A TV newsroom employee found out while working the graveyard shift that she and her husband have the Mega Millions ticket worth $266 million, her boss at KNBC said Wednesday.
Assignment manager David Reese said the newly minted millionaire called him at 2:30 a.m. to share her good news. Then she finished her shift and asked her colleagues to keep her name a secret until she's ready to step forward, Reese said.
Her good fortune led KNBC's evening newscast. Reporter Cary Berglund said the woman, whom he called "Millionairess X," heard that the winning ticket was purchased in Pico Rivera, called her husband and learned the news.
"She started crying," colleague Nicole Stevenson told the station. "She asked him to repeat it. She thought he was kidding, thought he was messing with her."
She hasn't claimed her ticket yet, but Reese said he saw a photocopy of the ticket showing all six numbers drawn in Tuesday's multistate game — 9, 21, 31, 36 and 43 with 8 as the Mega number.
The winner has a year to turn in the ticket, then 60 days to tell lottery officials how he or she wants the money.
It can be paid in 26 equal payments of $10.2 million or in a lump sum of about $165 million, minus federal taxes, said lottery spokeswoman Cathy Doyle Johnston.
The woman has worked a freelancer for KNBC for about four years, and her husband was laid off two weeks ago, Reese said.
"She's usually the most pleasant and nice person to work with even when all hell is breaking loose," he said. "It renews your faith in the universe that something like this can happen to someone who really deserves it."
On Tuesday night, the woman had wanted to order dinner from Kentucky Fried Chicken, but her husband insisted on going to a barbecue joint where he bought the tickets, Berglund said.
Because the winning ticket was sold at L & L Hawaiian BBQ in Pico Rivera, owner Danny He and his family will get $1 million, the cap on lottery bonuses in California, Johnston said.
He said the money will go toward his son's college education and to pay some debt.
Reese said the winner told him she plans on coming to work Thursday.
"She said she loves work and she doesn't want this to change her life that way. She says she needs the routine," he said.
The $266 million jackpot was the eighth-largest in the history of the game, which began in 2002 and is now played in 38 states and the District of Columbia.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot ever was $390 million on March 6, 2007, shared by winners in Dalton, Ga., and New Jersey.
Lottery officials said the odds of matching all six numbers drawn in Tuesday's multistate game is 1 in 175,711,536.

МОСКВА, 26 дек — РИА Новости. Употребление картофеля повышает риск повышенного артериального давления, пишет Express со ссылкой на американских специалистов.Отмечается, что при правильном употреблении корнеплод является богатым источником витаминов, минералов, пищевых волокон и антиоксидантов. Медики установили, что оптимальное количество картофеля без вреда для здоровья составляет 200-300 грамм два раза в неделю.Однако превышение этой нормы грозит гипертонией. Так, по данным ученых, употребление четырех и более порций картофеля в неделю повышает риск высокого давления на 11 процентов. Точный механизм воздействия овоща пока не установлен, однако эксперты полагают, что проблема связана с высокой гликемической нагрузкой продукта.При этом отмечается, что одним из лучших продуктов для борьбы с гипертонией является вареная свекла или свекольный сок. Отваривать продукт рекомендуется в кожуре, чтобы сохранить максимальное количество полезных свойств.

Four people died in the crash in October 2000
A corporate manslaughter charge against engineering firm Balfour Beatty was also dismissed by an Old Bailey judge.
But the five men, together with their employers, Balfour Beatty and Railtrack, replaced by Network Rail, still face health and safety charges.
Four people died in 2000 after a train derailed near the Hertfordshire town.
I must ask you to accept my ruling, which does not affect one way or the other... the health and safety counts
Mr Justice Mackay
Five months into the trial, Mr Justice Mackay ordered the jury to find the men not guilty.
"It is not open to you to convict any of the six defendants on charges of manslaughter," he told the jury on Thursday morning.
He was not permitted to give reasons for his decision, he said.
"I must ask you to accept my ruling, which does not affect one way or the other the important decisions you will have to make when considering verdicts on the health and safety counts."
Charges denied
Three executives from Railtrack - which owned the East Coast Mainline at the time of the derailment - are among those on trial.
Alistair Cook, 50, Sean Fugill, 50, and Keith Lea, 53, all denied the manslaughter charges.
We are in the midst of immensely detailed evidence from both sides
BBC correspondent Russel Hayes
Two executives from Balfour Beatty - Anthony Walker, 46, and Nicholas Jeffries, 53, also denied manslaughter charges.
All five men, together with Balfour Beatty and Railtrack, also deny charges under the Health and Safety Act.
BBC correspondent Russel Hayes said the prosecution and defence in the trial were still "in the midst of immensely detailed evidence from both sides".
Prosecutors have alleged the crash was an accident waiting to happen.
When opening the case, prosecutor Richard Lissack QC said a faulty rail at the crash site had been identified 21 months before the crash and was left unrepaired.
He also said speed restrictions were not imposed in the area of the faulty rail and alleged that Balfour Beatty had been getting "seriously behind in remedying defects on the line".
'Blame culture'
Counsel for Balfour Beatty Ronald Thwaites QC said there was "no proper basis" for those allegations.
Jonathan Goldberg QC, for Jeffries, told the court it would be unfair to make the five men scapegoats in the "blame culture of modern-day Britain".
They had worked in an "under-funded, under-invested railway industry which had been neglected by governments... for over 40 years", he said.
The accident in Hatfield, on 17 October 2000, happened when the London to Leeds express came off the tracks at 115 mph.
It was derailed by a cracked section of rail leaving four dead and more than 100 injured.
Those who died in the accident were Steve Arthur, 46, from Pease Pottage, West Sussex; Peter Monkhouse, 50, of Headingley, Leeds; Leslie Gray, 43, of Tuxford, Nottingham; and Robert James Alcorn, 37, of Auckland, New Zealand.

Charges against the five rail bosses accused of manslaughter on four people who died in the , England train crash, have been dropped at the .
Alistair Cook, 50, Sean Fugill, 50, Keith Lea, 53, and two executives from — Anthony Walker, 46, and Nicholas Jeffries, 53 — all denied the manslaughter charges. A charge of corporate manslaughter has also been dropped against the engineering firm Belfour Beatty.
But the five men and their employers, Balfour Beatty and , still face health and safety charges under the .
Four people were killed and many more were injured when a high speed train travelling from Leeds to London derailed just outside Hatfield on 17 October 2000. An investigation after the crash found that a cracked section of rail caused the train to come off the tracks.
After five months on trial, the judge Mr Justice Mackay told the jury to find the men not guilty, saying:
"It is not open to you to convict any of the six defendants on charges of manslaughter"
He added: "I must ask you to accept my ruling, which does not affect one way or the other the important decisions you will have to make when considering verdicts on the health and safety counts."
Mr Justice Mackay made the decision after reviewing the evidence and listening to submissions.
The collapse of yet another high-profile corporate case will more than likely put pressure for changes to current laws to make it easier to prosecute in corporate manslaughter cases. Work on new corporate manslaughter legislation has been under way for more than a decade in response to the problems encountered in bringing successful prosecutions. The latest proposals would criminalise gross management failure and the government has promised legislation before the end of next year.

Dossier Verlagen droht massiver Auflagenschwund
von Lutz Meier, Berlin
Medienforscher warnen Zeitungsverlage vor neuerlichen schweren Auflagenverlusten. In einer noch unveröffentlichten Studie prophezeit die Beratungsfirma A.T. Kearney, dass die Zeitungsauflagen in den europäischen Kernmärkten in den nächsten 20 Jahren um 25 Prozent fallen werden.
Ein Zeitungsständer
Die Entwicklung soll auch für deutsche Verlage tiefgehende Umstrukturierungen bringen, prognostiziert A.-T.-Kearney-Medienexperte Martin Fabel, einer der Studienautoren: "Jeder Vierte wird keinen Platz mehr in der Branche haben." Die Studie stützt sich auf Marktdaten aus den wichtigsten europäischen Märkten und liegt der FTD vor.
Die Erhebungen der Forscher konterkarieren den vorsichtigen Optimismus, um den am Dienstag der Verlegerverband BDZV bemüht war. Die Verleger meldeten für 2004 erstmals seit vier Jahren wieder leichte Zuwächse: Die Branchenumsätze wuchsen demnach um 0,9 Prozent auf 8,9 Mrd. Euro. Dieses Indiz nahm Verbandsgeschäftsführer Dietmar Wolff zum Anlass, einmal mehr zu mutmaßen: "Die Talfahrt ist erst einmal gestoppt." Dabei lassen die Zahlen Zweifel daran zu. Die Gesamtauflage der Zeitungen fiel gegenüber dem Vorjahr im Auftaktquartal um 3,3 Prozent. Die Anzeigenumfänge stagnierten bis April gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum. Verbandsmann Wolff sagte, die Branche hoffe jetzt auf eine bessere Werbekonjunktur. Die Verlage hätten auf die Krise reagiert und seien nun gerüstet.
"Durchhalteparolen des Verbandes"
Dem widersprechen die Forscher. Im Anzeigenmarkt kommen die deutschen Verlage selbst nach ihrer optimistischsten Prognose auch in 20 Jahren nicht über das Erlösniveau von 1995. "Ein Verband muss natürlich Durchhalteparolen ausgeben", so Studienautor Fabel. Er sieht die Branche nicht am Ende, sondern am Anfang der Umstrukturierung.
Zeitungsauflagen in europäischen Kernmärkten
Als Ursachen für den erwarteten Auflagenverfall benennen die Berater zum einen den Wettbewerb der Zeitungen mit elektronischen Medien, zum anderen die Bevölkerungsentwicklung. Den Blättern werde es bei allen Bemühungen nicht gelingen, nachwachsende Leser in dem Maß an sich zu binden, wie sie es zum Überleben brauchten. Der Marktanteil bei jungen Lesern unter 20 sei in 50 Jahren in den Kernmärkten Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien und Niederlande von 32 Prozent auf unter 23 Prozent gefallen und werde bis 2025 nur noch bei 20 Prozent liegen.
Bislang haben die deutschen Verlage nach Einschätzung der Berater nur halbherzig reagiert: "Es wird schon gut gehen - dieser Gedanke dominiert", beschreibt Fabel die Strategie, "ein neues Layout, ein bisschen mehr Serviceorientierung wird alles wieder richten."
Die erste Auflage der kostenlosen Zeitung der Metro
Unentschlossene Reaktion auf Gratiszeitungen
Zuletzt machte die unentschlossene Reaktion der deutschen Verlage auf den angekündigten Markteintritt von Gratiszeitungen Schlagzeilen. Tatsächlich war es der Branche beim Angriff der Gratisverleger aus Skandinavien vor einigen Jahren noch gelungen, ihre lokalen Anzeigen- und Lesermonopole zu schützen. Aber ein zweiter Versuch könnte bald heftige Umstrukturierungen einleiten, die die deutsche Branche bei der Verteidigung ihrer angestammten Märkte bislang versäumt hat.
Die skandinavischen Gratisverleger müssen nicht die Einzigen bleiben, die in die geordnete Welt der mehrheitlich familieneigenen deutschen Verlage einbrechen. Die Gesellschaft A.T. Kearney prophezeit, dass der deutsche Zeitungsmarkt bald für ausländische Brancheninvestoren, für Finanzbeteiligungsfirmen sowie Fusions- und Verkaufsspezialisten der Investmentbanken interessant werden könnte.
Die Berater drängen Verleger zu prüfen, ob sie überlebensfähig sind, und Ausstiegsszenarien zu entwickeln. Verlage, die nicht auf der Strecke bleiben wollten, müssten Wachstumsstrategien entwerfen. Dabei nennen sie nicht nur das Modell, das manchem Fürsprecher der Pressevielfalt zuletzt Angst machte, der große Zeitungskonzern, der eine Kette regionaler Blätter bildet.
Erfolgversprechend sei es auch, wenn Zeitungen - etwa Wirtschaftsblätter - sich konsequent auf spezielle Zielgruppen ausrichten. Andere könnten gewinnen, wenn sie ihre lokale Kompetenz auf andere Medien ausweiten. Wieder andere Blätter könnten ihre Marke und ihre Vertriebsmacht nutzen, in andere Geschäfte einzusteigen.

Doubt over Greenpeace report on GM rice
By Jiang Zhuqing (China Daily)
Updated: 2005-04-14 05:39
Agricultural experts and Chinese authorities denied Greenpeace accusations of "out of control" genetically modified (GM) rice and cast doubt on its testing procedures.
At a news conference in Hong Kong yesterday, Greenpeace, an international environmental group, released its findings on GM crops in China.
During February and April, the group carried out tests on rice bought in Central China's Hubei Province.

Of the 25 samples taken, 19 contained GM rice, modified to contain a bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), that produces a toxin that kills pests, said Liu Haiying, programme director for Greenpeace in Beijing.
Samples collected in Hubei Province were sent to a gene testing laboratory in Germany, she said.
Greenpeace GE (genetic engineering) campaigner Sze Pang Cheung also said yesterday: "The GE industry is out of control."
Zhu Xinquan, chairman of the Chinese Society of Agro-Biotechnology, said: "I cannot agree with the findings of the report by Greenpeace and I am wondering if the tests conducted by the organization are scientific or not."
An official with the Office of Genetically Modified Organism Safety under the ministry of Agriculture said: "We have not seen the concrete testing reports. Moreover, the testing of GM rice seeds should be based on China's technical standards."
"We've asked the agricultural department in Hubei Province to conduct on-the-spot examination on this issue," said the official who declined to be identified.
Greenpeace estimated that 950 to 1,200 tons of GM rice were grown in China last year from a planted area of 1,900 to 2,400 mu (127 to 160 hectares).
This year the planted area will grow to 20,000 to 25,000 mu (1,333 to 1,667 hectares) with an output of 10,000 to 12,000 tons, the Greenpeace said.
The Chinese official admitted that field trials of GE rice are being conducted in Hubei as well in some other places.
But the official said the plantation acreage is limited to 30 mu (2 hectares).
Rice strains modified to contain Bt have been planted in China on a trial basis for several years as part of research conducted by Huazhong Agricultural University.
Zhu said "regulations on GM food have been in force for several years in China and the nation is doing more research before approving the commercialization of GM rice.
"A cautious attitude must be taken on the safety of GM rice since it is a highly important food for Chinese people."
The ministry official also added: "Sales of GM rice seeds are strictly prohibited and there are GM safety offices at province level to conduct regular checks on it."

Authorities in the People's Republic of China today questioned the integrity of tests conducted by Greenpeace, the environmental awareness organisation, purporting to show that genetically engineered (GE) rice has been illegally farmed and sold, in the largest rice-producing country.
Greenpeace alleges through a press release that "it appears GE Rice is being sold, planted, consumed, and possibly exported", with the Chinese government not having approved the crop. Local farmers in Hubei Province where the GE crops were allegedly found, had tipped the organisation off.
Greenpeace says it tested rice bought there during February and April, and 19 of the 25 samples taken returned positive results for transgenic DNA, with two containing an alteration that means the rice incorporates genes from a bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), used to produce a toxin that kills pests.

Scientists at Huazhong Agriculture University in Wuhan, capital of Hubei, have been conducting tests with the engineered strain of rice.
The area is geographically close to an area diverse in rice strains, where Greenpeace says that natural evolution of rice is threatened by the potential of escaped GM rice genes. This is centered in the nearby provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan.
Greenpeace says, "No country in the world has commercially released GE rice."

Hubei, China In a startling development that may have repercussions on exports of China's biggest crop, Greenpeace has uncovered genetically engineered (GE) rice, unapproved for human consumption, that appears to have been planted and sold illegally in China for the last two years.
Whistle blowers: local farmers
Why is this dangerous?
Food safety risks:
Environmental risks:
Rice is life
The Chinese government has not authorised GE Rice for commercial planting, and has to date permitted only field testing. Nevertheless, it appears GE Rice is being sold, planted, consumed, and possibly exported in China, one of the largest exporters of Rice. Many of the markets to which China sends its rice demand GE-free grain, and the contamination could negatively impact China's rice sales, particularly in Japan, Korea, Russia, and the European Union.No country in the world has commercially released GE rice. In the US, despite widespread plantings of GE maize (corn) and soy, no commercial GE rice crops have been planted for fear of consumer and market rejection.Local farmers tipped off our investigators that GE rice was being sold without government approval several months ago, when Greenpeace conducted its Rice for Life tour there.Subsequent investigations by our team found samples of rice seed and unmilled and milled rice containing GE strains. We collected evidence from seed companies, agriculture extension stations, farmers, rice millers, wholesalers and retailers. We tested our results with the international laboratory GeneScan, which confirmed the presence of transgenic DNA in 19 samples.Two of the samples tested positive as Bt rice - a form which has been genetically engineered to produce an inbuilt pesticide. For years, large-scale field trials with Bt rice have been conducted by scientists of the Huazhong Agriculture University in Wuhan, the provincial capital of Hubei.The area borders dangerously close to what's called the "centre for biodiversity" of rice -- the place where the natural evolution of wild and cultivated rice is at its most active, producing the greatest number of varieties and variations from generation to generation. Any contamination of the wild rice species there could alter natural rice evolution irrevocably and with impacts that may not be understood for generations to come.GE insect resistant Bt rice has not been approved for cultivation anywhere in the world. There is no publicly available environmental assessment nor human food safety assessment available for any GE Bt rice. However, studies from other GE Bt crops such as maize and cotton give strong indications that Bt rice will have serious environmental consequences and there are serious human food safety concerns.- Rice is the most important staple food crop in the world.- On average, rice provides 30% of calorie and 19% of protein intake in China.- One of the toxins produced in Bt rice (and which was found in two of the samples) could cause allergenic reactions in humans. It has already been demonstrated to do so in mice.- The human food safety of Bt GE rice is unknown.- Non-target species such as butterflies and moths may be adversely affected;- Weeds could pick up the pesticide production capabilities via crossbreeding ;- Insects resistant to the introduced toxin may evolve and require more intensive chemical control;- Contamination of natural genetic resources;- Bt rice could also affect long-term soil health.The illegal GE rice scandal comes at a time when the Chinese government is evaluating the environmental and health safety of various GE rice lines for potential commercial approval. The illegal release of GE rice into the food chain prior to approval underscores the weakness of the regulatory system.Those weaknesses are not limited to China. In March multinational GE conglomerate Syngenta admitted that they mistakenly sold hundreds of tonnes of illegal unapproved GE maize in the United States over the past four years. Regulators hadn't noticed. Another GE contamination case in the USA in 2001 resulted in a $1 billion product recall amid concerns of potential allergenic reactions after illegal, GE corn (Starlink) entered the human food chain. And in Mexico in 2002, a centre of biodiversity for maize, testing of 22 varieties revealed genetic contamination in 15 of them, despite a government ban on GE planting.Greenpeace should not have to be monitoring the GE industry's compliance with regulations, and the GE industry is clearly incapable of regulating itself. The Chinese government shouldn't have to worry that GE approved for testing is getting out into the environment by accident, or that scientists who are told not to release unapproved GE strains will do what they are told. But the only way to ensure this is to simply keep GE out of the country.We are calling for an urgent, international product recall of all the GE Rice in China."The GE industry is out of control," says our campaigner Sze Pang Cheung. "A small group of rogue scientists have taken the world’s most important staple food crop into their own hands and are subjecting the Chinese public to a totally unacceptable experiment.""We’re calling on the Chinese Government to take urgent action to recall the unapproved GE rice from the fields and from the food chain, and to conduct an immediate inquiry into the source of the contamination."

Presidentes de Bolívia, Chile e Brasil lançam corredor bioceânico
LA PAZ, 17 dez 2007 (AFP) - Os presidentes da Bolívia, Evo Morales, do Chile, Michelle Bachelet, e do Brasil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, lançaram neste domingo o corredor bioceânico que unirá o Atlântico e o Pacífico, com o qual pretendem consolidar uma integração sul-americana e o desenvolvimento de seus povos.
Lula, Morales e Bachelet firmaram um memorando de entendimento e emitiram a "Declaração de La Paz", na qual fixam os propósitos da consolidação da imensa estrada bioceânica que deve estar pronta em 2009.
O discurso de Evo Morales no Palácio de Governo foi interrompido por um desmaio do ministro da Justiça Tarso Genro, que estava sentado na primeira fila da platéia.
Cléber Araújo, médico do presidente Lula, confirmou à imprensa que o desmaio aconteceu devido a uma "queda de pressão", possivelmente potenciada pela altura de La Paz, que se encontra a mais de 3.600 metros acima do nível do mar. TARSO GENRO DESMAIA LEIA MAIS
Segundo o documento, o Chile se comprometeu a um investimento de 36 milhões de dólares para obras de ampliação e melhoria da estrada que une o porto de Iquique com a Bolívia e outros 56 milhões para melhorar e pavimentar outros pequenos trechos em seu território.
"Estamos abrindo caminho para um projeto inspirado nos ideais de integração, de justiça social e de desenvolvimento sustentável", disse o presidente Lula, concordando com Bachelet quanto ao fato de que a obra aproximará as economias dos três países.
"Toda integração deve começar pela Bolívia, porque este país está no coração da América", frisou.
Para o presidente boliviano, o encontro com seus colegas de Brasil e Chile e o lançamento do corredor bioceânico é um fato histórico para o país, que se beneficiará, com a implementação desta infra-estrutura, da redução dos fretes de transporte para importações e exportações.
A estrada internacional percorrerá o chamado eixo central deste país andino-amazônico e unirá as cidades andinas de La Paz e El Alto com a central Cochabamba e a próspera Santa Cruz.
O encontro dos três presidentes também serviu para impulsionar outros projetos de integração de infra-estrutura física, que podem se ampliar para corredores ferroviários, turísticos e viários.

Un contrat de travail à durée déterminée dont l'échéance est la réalisation d'un objet défini, d'une durée minimale de dix-huit mois et maximale de trente-six mois, peut être conclu pour le recrutement d'ingénieurs et de cadres, au sens des conventions collectives. Le recours à ce contrat est subordonné à la conclusion d'un accord de branche étendu ou, à défaut, d'un accord d'entreprise.
L'accord de branche étendu ou l'accord d'entreprise définit :
1° Les nécessités économiques auxquelles ces contrats sont susceptibles d'apporter une réponse adaptée ;
2° Les conditions dans lesquelles les salariés sous contrat à durée déterminée à objet défini bénéficient de garanties relatives à l'aide au reclassement, à la validation des acquis de l'expérience, à la priorité de réembauchage et à l'accès à la formation professionnelle continue et peuvent, au cours du délai de prévenance, mobiliser les moyens disponibles pour organiser la suite de leur parcours professionnel ;
3° Les conditions dans lesquelles les salariés sous contrat à durée déterminée à objet défini ont priorité d'accès aux emplois en contrat à durée indéterminée dans l'entreprise.
Ce contrat est régi par le titre IV du livre II de la première partie du code du travail, à l'exception des dispositions spécifiques fixées par le présent article.
Ce contrat prend fin avec la réalisation de l'objet pour lequel il a été conclu, après un délai de prévenance au moins égal à deux mois. Il peut être rompu par l'une ou l'autre partie, pour un motif réel et sérieux, au bout de dix-huit mois puis à la date anniversaire de sa conclusion. Il ne peut pas être renouvelé. Lorsque, à l'issue du contrat, les relations contractuelles du travail ne se poursuivent pas par un contrat de travail à durée indéterminée, le salarié a droit à une indemnité d'un montant égal à 10 % de sa rémunération totale brute.
Le contrat à durée déterminée à objet défini est établi par écrit et comporte les clauses obligatoires pour les contrats à durée déterminée, sous réserve d'adaptations à ses spécificités, notamment :

2° L'intitulé et les références de l'accord collectif qui institue ce contrat ;
3° Une clause descriptive du projet et mentionnant sa durée prévisible ;
4° La définition des tâches pour lesquelles le contrat est conclu ;

Ce contrat est institué à titre expérimental pendant une période de six ans à compter de la publication de la présente loi.
A l'issue de cette période, le Gouvernement présentera au Parlement un rapport, établi après concertation avec les partenaires sociaux et avis de la Commission nationale de la négociation collective, sur les conditions d'application de ce contrat et sur son éventuelle pérennisation.

En su cuenta en la red social el presidente de EU invitó a los ciudadanos a exigir un compromiso para aprobar un aumento en el techo de la deuda y evitar una moratoria

El Presidente de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, pidió a los ciudadanos estadounidenses que twitteen a los republicanos para que estos sean presionados a votar el proyecto que eleve el monto de la deuda soberana o pública.
Faltan pocos días para que se decida si se aumenta el monto límite de la deuda y las conversaciones entre republicanos y demócratas se encuentran estancadas. El mensaje de Obama fue dado mediante conferencia de prensa y el siguiente mensaje en su cuenta de Twitter:
Obama informó que la propuesta del legislador John Boehner, de aumentar el límite de la deuda pública sin aumentar los impuestos, es algo que no será aceptado por su gobierno.
El plazo máximo para que se decida si se aumenta o no el límite de la deuda es el 2 de agosto, de lo contrario el Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos se verá en la obligación de reducir gastos pues se corre el riesgo de que no se pueda depositar el dinero de las deudas actuales.

El equipo de campaña del presidente de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, distribuyó este viernes vía Twitter las cuentas en esta red social de legisladores republicanos para que los ciudadanos les reclamen un compromiso para elevar el límite de la deuda, tal como solicitó este viernes el mandatario.
"Tuiteen a sus legisladores republicanos y exíjanles que apoyen un compromiso bipartidista para la crisis de la deuda", lanzaron los colaboradores del mandatario desde la cuenta @BarackObama, administrada por su equipo de campaña, poco después de que el presidente apelara a los ciudadanos para lograr su respaldo.
En horas de la mañana, con la fecha límite para entrar en suspensión de pagos, el 2 de agosto, peligrosamente cerca y sin un acuerdo en vista en el Capitolio, Obama había llamado a los congresistas a estar a la altura de las circunstancias y llegar a un compromiso para elevar el límite de la deuda.
A la par, instó a los ciudadanos a que les exijan lo mismo a sus legisladores en la Cámara de Representantes, de mayoría republicana. "Si quieren ver un compromiso bipartidista, un proyecto de ley que pueda ser aprobado por las dos cámaras del Congreso y que yo pueda firmar, háganselo saber ahora a sus miembros en el Congreso", pidió Obama en una comparecencia pública.
"Llámenlos por teléfono, envíenles un e-mail, tuitéenles, mantengan la presión sobre Washington y podremos aprobar esto", agregó.
Poco después, el equipo presidencial comenzó a bombardear con 'tuits' la red social llamando a los ciudadanos de diferentes estados norteamericanos a seguir la petición de Obama y distribuyendo las direcciones de Twitter de los republicanos a reclamar.
"Ya escucharon al presidente. Así que esto es lo que vamos a hacer: durante el día, vamos a poner las direcciones de legisladores republicanos en cada estado", anunciaron. Y, dicho y hecho, a lo largo de la jornada se multiplicaron los mensajes.
"Votantes en Nebraska: Tuiteen a su representante republicano y pídanle que apoye una solución bipartidista a la crisis de déficit", señala uno de los tweets, seguido de inmediato con la dirección de dicho representante.
"Si vives en Missouri, pídele a @RoyBlunt que apoye un compromiso bipartidista en la crisis de la deuda", reza otro mensaje. "¿Vives en Arkansas? ¿Tienes un congresista republicano? Tuitéale y pídele que apoye un compromiso bipartidista a la reducción del déficit".

Godło Liberlandu • Fot. liberland.org
W miniony poniedziałek na mapie Europy pojawiło się nowe państwo. Jest nim Liberland, enklawa wolności położona między Chorwacją i Serbią. Samozwańcze państwo, które nie zdobyło jeszcze międzynarodowego uznania, ma już swojego prezydenta. Teraz prowadzony jest nabór obywateli.Liberland nie ma jeszcze konstytucji (ta jest dopiero tworzona), ale posiada już własny serwis internetowy . Wyjaśniono w nim, że nowe państwo leży na terenie, do którego żaden inny kraj nie wysuwa roszczeń. Założyciele Wolnej Republiki Liberlandu uznali, że jest to ziemia niczyja.Liberland ma 7 km kwadratowych powierzchni i mieści się na zachodnim brzegu Dunaju, w pobliżu chorwackiej miejscowości Zmajevac. Założycielem państwa jest czeski polityk Vít Jedlička, który należy czeskiej Partii Wolnych Obywateli.Jedlička został pierwszym prezydentem Liberlandu. Polityk zapowiedział, że niebawem wyśle noty dyplomatyczne do rządów Serbii i Chorwacji , prosząc o oficjalne uznanie nowego państwa. Podobne noty zostaną później wysłane do innych krajów.Konstytucja Liberlandu będzie wzorowana na prawie szwajcarskim. Państwo, któremu przyświeca hasło „Żyj i pozwól żyć”, ma być „konstytucyjną republiką z elementami demokracji bezpośredniej”. Z przedstawianych zapowiedzi wynika, że władze Liberlandu będzie obowiązywał konstytucyjny zakaz zadłużania państwa.Na oficjalnej stronie Liberlandu prowadzona jest rekrutacja obywateli . Zgłaszać mogą się wszystkie osoby, które nie były karane, nie mają komunistycznej bądź nazistowskiej przeszłości, szanują własność prywatną oraz innych ludzi, niezależnie od ich rasy, pochodzenia etnicznego, religii i orientacji.Liberland ma już własną flagę i własne godło. Językiem urzędowym jest czeski.
