Legertroepen verwijderden de Koerdische vlag van het regeringsgebouw in de stad. Dat meldt persbureau Reuters op basis van ooggetuigenverklaringen. Volgens het persbureau boden de Koerden geen verzet.\nEerder op de dag had de Iraakse premier Haider al-Abadi het leger al opdracht gegeven de Iraakse vlag in de stad te hijsen. Zondagavond opende Iraakse troepen de aanval op Kirkuk, dat in handen was van de Iraakse Koerden. Volgens journalisten die in de stad aanwezig zijn, heerste er chaos op het moment van de aanval. Veel inwoners hebben Kirkuk inmiddels verlaten.\nLees ook: Chaos in Kirkuk na inval van het Iraakse leger\nDe Peshmerga-strijders zeiden dat Bagdad een “hoge prijs” zou betalen voor het in gang zetten van “een oorlog tegen de Koerden”, aldus Reuters.\nKoerdische regio\nDe stad behoort niet tot de autonome Koerdische regio maar is sinds 2014 wel in handen van de Koerdische Peshmerga-strijders nadat de Iraakse troepen de stad hadden verlaten vanwege de komst van terreurgroep Islamitische Staat (IS). In de stad wonen veel Koerden en ze hebben een historische claim. Maar nu de strijd tegen IS bijna gewonnen is, wil Irak de regio terug.\nBekijk ook de fotoserie: De strijd om Kirkuk\nIn een verklaring op Facebook schrijf de Iraakse premier Haider al-Abadi dat hij met de verovering van Kirkuk “de eenheid van het land” wil beschermen na het Koerdische referendum over onafhankelijkheid van Irak vorige maand. De premier schrijft:\n“Deze was in gevaar vanwege de volharding waarmee het referendum was georganiseerd door de machthebbers in de Koerdische regio, terwijl wij een existentiële oorlog tegen terrorisme uitvochten.”\nAmerikanen roepen op tot kalmte\nDe Verenigde Staten vochten de afgelopen tijd samen met onder meer Irak en de Koerden tegen IS. Zowel de Peshmerga-strijders als het Iraakse leger zijn getraind door de Verenigde Staten en vechten met Amerikaanse voertuigen en wapens. De Amerikaanse regering maant de strijdende partijen op tot kalmte en roept de leiders van de partijen op te onderhandelen. “IS blijft de ware vijand van Irak”, laat de Amerikaanse ambassade in Bagdad weten in een verklaring.\nSenator en voormalig presidentskandidaat John McCain dreigde in een verklaring voor “ernstige gevolgen” als “Amerikaanse uitrusting op deze manier misbruikt wordt.”\nAndere landen in de regio lieten al weten niet blij te zijn met het onafhankelijkheidsreferendum. Zo besloot Turkije maandag om het luchtruim te sluiten voor vluchten van en naar de autonome Koerdische regio in Irak. Al eerder besloot het land te stoppen met het trainen van Koerdische militairen.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "Lula da Silva desliga a los biocombustibles del alza de precios", "text": "El presidente brasileño Luiz Inacio ‘Lula’ da Silva inauguró hoy un encuentro latinoamericano de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO), donde hizo una enérgica defensa de los biocombustibles, que su país produce a gran escala. Da Silva rechazó las críticas de algunos organismos de que éstos sean los causantes de la crisis por los altos precios de los alimentos del mundo, y que dañan el medio ambiente.\n\"No me digan, por el amor de Dios, que la comida es cara por culpa del biodiésel. Los alimentos son caros porque el mundo no estaba preparado para que comieran millones de chinos, indios, africanos, brasileños y latinoamericanos\", declaró el mandatario brasileño a lo periodistas antes de su intervención en la conferencia de la FAO en Brasilia.\nLula criticó duramente a los países industrializados por subsidiar su producción agrícola, lo que en su criterio ha minado la competitividad de las naciones más pobres y golpeado la producción mundial.\n\"Los biocombustibles no son el villano que amenaza la seguridad alimentaria\", subrayó el líder brasileño, “al contrario, desarrollados de acuerdo con la realidad de cada país, pueden sacar a los países de la dependencia energética sin afectar su alimentación\".\nLos comentarios del presidente brasileño se producen después de una semana de críticas y protestas en Europa y Brasil en contra de los combustibles derivados de cultivos alimenticios y de la puesta en duda de los beneficios ambientales y sociales.\nContra el discurso de la ONU\nEl discurso de Lula aludió directamente al informe del relator de la ONU sobre el derecho a la alimentación, Jean Ziegler, quien calificó a los biocombustibles como un \"crimen contra la humanidad\", por desviar alimentos para la generación de combustibles en momentos de crisis mundial por la escasez y altos precios de alimentos.\nZiegler pidió en su informe, divulgado el lunes, una moratoria internacional sobre los incentivos para la producción y comercio de agrocombustibles.\n\"El verdadero crimen contra la humanidad es descartar los biocombustibles y condenar a los países a la dependencia energética y la inseguridad alimentaria\", sostuvo el presidente de Brasil, uno de los grandes productores mundiales de etanol a base de caña de azúcar.\nLula dijo que se siente \"espantado\" porque quienes critican a los biocombustibles como causantes de los altos precios de los alimentos no dicen nada sobre los subsidios agrícolas de los países ricos.\n\"Si no hay una disminución de los subsidios agrícolas de Europa, difícilmente los países pobres serán competitivos en su producción\", afirmó da Silva.\nOtros países latinoamericanos se colocan en la vereda opuesta a Brasil.

Experto responde a Lula Lula también destacó el efecto pernicioso de las subvenciones agrícolas de países desarrolados como otro factor en el encarecimiento de los productos agrícolas. El relator de la ONU para la Alimentación, Jean Ziegler, señaló el lunes que las políticas de incentivo a los biocombustibles han tenido un impacto negativo en la oferta de alimentos y representan un \"crimen contra la humanidad\". Lea también: FAO: más producción familiar Sin embargo el ministro de Energía y Minas de Brasil, Edison Lobao, señaló el miércoles a la prensa brasileña que su gobierno seguirá adelante con sus planes de expandir la producción de biodiesel basado en soja y otras plantas oleaginosas. \"Los críticos están cada vez más activos, pero nosotros vamos a seguir adelante. Seguiremos porque estamos en el camino correcto. Esto es bueno para Brasil y estamos convencidos de que es bueno para el mundo\", señaló Lobao al anunciar planes para aumentar gradualmente la mezcla de biocombustible en el diesel convencional de 2% a 5% o más. FAO La Representante Regional Adjunta de la FAO para America Latina y el Caribe, Margarita Flores, señaló a BBC Mundo desde Brasilia que la mejor forma de contrarrestar la subida de los precios en los mercados internacionales sería incrementar la producción interna de alimentos. Brasil es el mayor productor de etanol y quiere promover el biodiesel. \"Los más afectados serán aquellos cuyo consumo está dependiendo en más de un 20% o 30% del mercado externo, porque va a aumentar el valor de su factura de importación\", dijo Flores. \"Los más afectados serán aquellos cuyo consumo está dependiendo en más de un 20% o 30% del mercado externo, porque va a aumentar el valor de su factura de importación\", dijo Flores. El profesor de química de la Universidad de Costa Rica y experto en biocombustibles, Orlando Bravo, señaló a BBC Mundo desde San José que el alza de los precios de granos como el maíz ha tenido un gran impacto en América Central. \"En Costa Rica todos los concentrados alimenticios para aves, ganado, etc. que utilizaban el maíz han subido en un mínimo de 50%\", dijo Bravo. \"En EE.UU. hay una subvención de U$ 0.52 por cada galón de alcohol producido. Es una forma de subvencionar a los agricultores dentro de una política verde, pero estrictamente hablando lo que tienen es una política para subvencionar a los agricultores\", agregó. Promesa incumplida El académico costarricense se opone al uso de biocombustibles, ya sea del maíz en EE.UU. o la caña de azúcar en Brasil y sostiene que no cumplen con su promesa de reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono. \"El nivel de disminución de CO2 en el aire es relativamente pequeño porque el consumo de energía que requiere el cultivo de esos productos generalmente es casi igual que a la cantidad de energía que producen\", según Bravo. \"Si nosotros nos vamos a un vehículo híbrido eléctrico que coge la energía directamente de la línea y un motor de combustión generalmente se disminuye la emisión de dióxido de carbono por lo menos en un 50%. En cambio si uno hace un estudio de cuanto se disminuye con biocombustibles si acaso se llega a 2% o 3%\", agregó. Si bien la caña de azúcar es un cultivo más eficiente que el maíz para la transformación hacia el etanol, su producción genera trastornos socioeconómicos porque requiere de grandes cantidades de mano de obra barata que debe permanecer ociosa tras la conclusión de la época de la zafra, dijo el experto.\nEnvíe esta nota por e-mail Imprima esta nota", "url": "http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/business/newsid_7351000/7351753.stm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080421093321/http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/business/newsid_7351000/7351753.stm" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Lula defends biofuel push", "text": "Filed from Singapore 4/17/2008 1:56:51 PM GMT\nBRAZIL: The 'real crime against humanity' would be to cast aside biofuels and push countries struggling with food and energy shortages towards dependency and insecurity, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was reported as saying at a regional conference of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Brasilia.\nLula's remark is a direct response to a recent comment of UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food Jean Ziegler.

Diese Plätze in der Delegation verschaffen Aufmerksamkeit und direkte, wertvolle Kontakte und sind deshalb hoch begehrt. Bei Auslandsreisen von Außenminister Guido Westerwelle sind auffallend häufig Unternehmer mit an Bord, die zuvor als Parteispender der FDP aufgefallen waren. Das jedenfalls legt ein Bericht des „Spiegel“ nahe, der in Berlin derzeit für mächtig Aufregung sorgt.\nUnter der Überschrift „Unter Freunden“ listet das Nachrichtenmagazin eine ganze Reihe von Managern auf, die in der Vergangenheit für die FDP gespendet oder auf anderen Wegen unterstützt hätten und nun Westerwelle bei Auslandsreisen begleiten dürften. So wäre etwa bei der aktuellen Südamerika-Reise Westerwelles Ralph Dommermuth dabei, der Gründer des Internet-Unternehmens „United Internet“. Dommermuth steht den Liberalen nahe, 2005 habe er 48.000 Euro an die FDP überwiesen.\n\"Bei Antrittsbesuchen in Estland, Japan und China im Januar war Cornelius Boersch Teil der Delegation\", berichtet das Magazin weiter. Der deutsche Unternehmer sei Gründer der Schweizer Beratungs- und Beteiligungsfirma „Mountain Partners Group“ und habe \"der FDP bislang über 160.000 Euro gespendet\".

In höchsten Tönen habe Westerwelle in einer Begrüßungsrede von dem Hotelneubau geschwärmt: „Dies ist eines der spannendsten Hotels, die man auf der Welt finden kann.“\nPikant dabei: Westerwelles Lebensgefährte Michael Mronz, hatte als Eventmanager die Hotel-Eröffnung mitorganisiert. Konfrontiert mit den Vorwürfen ließ Mronz erklären, sein Honorar dafür „am nächsten Tag“ gespendet zu haben.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Updated: Pirate Bay Founder Fredrik Neij Arrested in Asia", "text": "Pirate Bay founder Fredrik Neij has been arrested in Asia. Neij had moved to Laos to avoid the jail sentence handed down for his involvement in The Pirate Bay. But, after driving across the border from Laos into Thailand more than two dozen times, the Swede was arrested yesterday by Thai border police executing an Interpol warrant.\nFollowing the criminal convictions of Pirate Bay founders Peter Sunde, Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij, each went their separate ways.\nWith Sunde in Europe and Svartholm then living in Cambodia, Neij moved to Asia to be with his Lao wife and their children.\nAs documented in the movie TPB:AFK, Neij and his family settled in Laos after getting married in a local ceremony. The country is one of the world’s few remaining communist states and is one of east Asia’s poorest countries with poor communications infrastructure and lacking healthcare system.\nAs a result, on several occasions the family has crossed the border into Thailand. That has proven problematic in the past, especially when the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok revoked Neij’s passport in 2012. Yesterday, however, things took a turn for the worse when police at the border in Nong Khai, a city in North-East Thailand, arrested Neij as he tried to drive across the border.\nEarly this morning Nong Khai Immigration police held a press conference to announce Neji’s arrest, parading him in front of the media flanked by several officers.\nThai border police had executed an Interpol arrest warrant similar to the one issued against Peter Sunde before his arrest in Sweden. According to Thai authorities, Neij and his wife had crossed the border an estimated 27 times before finally being caught.\nIf their press conference is anything to go by, Thai authorities appear to be making a big thing of Neij’s arrest. While trumpeting the alleged damages the Pirate Bay founders have caused the entertainment industries, Thai authorities used the arrest as a photo opportunity, posing for the camera and in some cases even smiling aside a bewildered-looking Neij.\nAccording to local media, Neij is now being held in the Bangkok immigration office pending deportation to Sweden. The 36-year-old’s arrest completes the full set, with all Pirate Bay founders now in custody.\nGottfrid Svartholm, whose story is particularly well known, had moved to Cambodia. He was extradited back to Sweden in 2012 to face not only his original sentence, but two major hacking trials, one on home soil and the other in Denmark. He was found guilty in the latter last week and is now serving a three-and-a-half year sentence.\nPeter Sunde is also in custody, having been captured on May 31, 2014 on a farm in Skåne, Sweden.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Senate confirms Elena Kagan to Supreme Court", "text": "Enlarge By Jack Gruber, USA TODAY Elena Kagan prepares to testify on the second day of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington on June 29.\nWASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in Elena Kagan as the nation's 112th Supreme Court justice on Saturday, making women one-third of the nation's highest court for the first time in history.\nSupreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Roberts telephoned Kagan to offer \"warm congratulations\" Thursday, shortly after the Senate confirmed her. The 63-37 vote was a victory for President Obama, who has doubled the number of women ever named to the Supreme Court with his first two nominees.\n\"I am confident that Elena Kagan will make an outstanding Supreme Court justice,\" Obama said in Chicago, where he was traveling. \"And I am proud, also, of the history we're making with her appointment.\"\nKagan, 50, was the first woman to serve as U.S. solicitor general and the first female dean of Harvard Law School. When the court reconvenes on the first Monday in October, Kagan will join Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor as the first trio of women serving together as justices.\n\"Long, long overdue,\" Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said of the breakthrough.\nDESPITE PARTISAN SWATS: Kagan's path to bench clear\nFive Republican senators broke ranks with their party to support Kagan's nomination: Richard Lugar of Indiana; Judd Gregg of New Hampshire; Lindsey Graham of South Carolina; and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine. One Democrat, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, voted no.\nCritics accused Kagan of being short on courtroom experience and holding liberal views on abortion and gun control. In Kagan, the president has appointed \"someone who shares his progressive, elitist vision and is willing to advance it from the bench,\" warned Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who is the Judiciary Committee's top Republican.\nKagan will be the first member of the court since the Chief Justice William Rehnquist to arrive without previous experience as a judge. Although some Republican senators, such as Scott Brown of Massachusetts, cited that as a reason to oppose her, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., hailed Kagan's different perspective on \"the impact of the law on human beings.\"\nFULL COVERAGE: Latest from Supreme Court\nSUPREME COURT: Upcoming cases\nAs solicitor general since last year, Kagan has served as the Obama administration's chief advocate before the Supreme Court, a position that could affect her ability to rule on some cases as a justice.\nShe told Sessions in a letter that she will recuse herself from 11 cases on the court calendar that she helped argue or for which she helped write briefs. Under questioning from Republican senators, however, Kagan would not commit to recusing from a potential legal challenge to the administration's health care plan.\nSen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Kagan will be a \"great antidote\" to a court that he described as being dominated by \"judicial activism of the right.\"\nHowever, Kagan is not expected to change the court's ideological balance, which tilts 5-4 in favor of conservatives. She's replacing retired justice John Paul Stevens, leader of the liberal wing.\nAfter the vote, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., apologized to Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican, for being rude as he was explaining his opposition to Kagan, the Associated Press reported.\nFranken was presiding over the Senate as McConnell spoke. A Senate GOP aide said Franken made theatrical gestures and whispered under his breath as the Kentucky senator spoke. McConnell went up to the former comedian afterward and said, \"This isn't Saturday Night Live, Al.\"\nThe aide spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.\nFranken later delivered a handwritten apology and issued a statement that said McConnell was \"entitled to give his speech with the presiding officer just listening respectfully.\"", "url": "http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/judicial/2010-08-05-kagan-supreme-court-confirmation_N.htm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100818233208/http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/judicial/2010-08-05-kagan-supreme-court-confirmation_N.htm" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Senate Confirms Kagan in Partisan Vote", "text": "Among the cases she is expected to sit in on when the new term starts in October are two major First Amendment clashes: one involving California’s attempts to limit the sale of violent video games to minors, the other on the free speech rights of protesters at military funerals.\nBecause of her role as solicitor general in the Obama administration, Ms. Kagan has already identified 11 cases on the docket for the next term in which she would disqualify herself because she had worked on them for the White House. One concerns the privacy rights of scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who object to federal background checks.\nIn the final vote, 5 Republicans joined 56 Democrats and 2 independents in supporting the nomination; 36 Republicans and one Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, opposed her. In a sign of the import of the moment, senators formally recorded their votes from their desks.\nThe partisan divide over the nomination illustrated the increasing political polarization of fights over Supreme Court nominees, who in years past were backed by both parties in the absence of some disqualifying factor. Ms. Kagan received fewer Republican votes than Justice Sotomayor, who was supported by nine Republicans in her 68-to-31 confirmation on Aug. 6, 2009. Democrats balked at Samuel A. Alito Jr., nominated by President George W. Bush, with only four endorsing him in a 58-to-42 vote in January 2006.\nMost Senate Republicans challenged Ms. Kagan’s nomination until the end, asserting that she lacked sufficient experience and had unfairly stigmatized the military by supporting a bar on recruiters at Harvard Law over the military’s policy against allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly. They said her record in both Democratic administrations and her strong ties to Mr. Obama suggested that she would try to imprint her own political values and those of the president on court decisions.\n“Whether it’s small-claims court or the Supreme Court, Americans expect politics to end at the courtroom door,” said Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. “Nothing in Elena Kagan’s record suggests that her politics will stop there.”", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/06/us/politics/06kagan.html?hp", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210318082452/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/06/us/politics/06kagan.html?hp" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Senate approves Obama nominee Kagan to top court", "text": "Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan laughs as she testifies on the third day of her Senate confirmation hearings in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, June 30, 2010.\nWASHINGTON |\nWASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court won Senate approval on Thursday, his second appointment to the court that decides abortion, death penalty and other contentious cases.\nThe Democratic-led Senate voted largely along party lines, 63-37, to confirm the former Harvard Law School dean as the fourth female justice in U.S. history and the 112th high court member.\nKagan was Obama's solicitor general, arguing government cases before the Supreme Court, when he named her in May as his choice to replace the retiring liberal Justice John Paul Stevens.\nThe 50-year-old Kagan, who will be the third woman on the current court, is not expected to change the ideological balance of power on the closely divided panel, which for years has been dominated by a 5-4 conservative majority.\nAll Democratic senators but one voted for her, two independent senators voted for her and five Republicans voted for her. All other Republican senators opposed her nomination.\nOBAMA'S JUDICIAL LEGACY\nKagan becomes Obama's second lifetime appointee on the nine-member Supreme Court, allowing him to reshape the court and leave a judicial legacy that could last long after he leaves office.\nU.S. appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed last year by a 68-31 vote as the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice.\nThe two appointments underscore an effort by Obama to move the court to the left after Republican President George W. Bush nominated a pair of conservative judges to the bench.\nKagan's nomination proved to be less contentious than expected and was largely overshadowed in the Senate by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and concerns over the sluggish U.S. economy.\nThe three days of Senate debate that ended Thursday often reflected partisan differences ahead of the congressional elections in November, when one-third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives will be up for re-election.\nDemocratic senators praised Kagan for her legal intellect, her ability to build consensus, for bringing a fresh perspective to the court and for being fair-minded. It will be the first time that the court has three female justices.\nRepublican senators said Kagan, a White House lawyer during Bill Clinton's presidency, seemed driven more by politics than the law and lacked judicial experience. She becomes the first justice in nearly 40 years who had never been a judge.\nKagan will be sworn in on Saturday, a Supreme Court spokeswoman said. The court is in recess until October, when it will return to the bench for a new term to hear disputes on immigration, violent videos and other cases.\n(Additional reporting by Rick Cowan, Editing by Stacey Joyce)", "url": "http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6744YW20100805", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100806093745/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6744YW20100805" } ]

Outside the hotel and in the streets of Athens, students who want to preserve the monopoly of state universities, with a single textbook per course, usually written by the course's instructor, rioted and clashed with police. The incidents were far more serious in the center of Athens, where a minority of hooded, self-styled «anarchists» threw stones and Molotov cocktails at police and, taking advantage of the so-called «academic sanctuary» laws, occupied Athens University's Law School building for about three hours. They also used trash cans as makeshift barricades outside the schools and set fire to the garbage as well as to several wooden chairs stolen from nearby cafes. A TV cameraman was taken to hospital with second-degree burns from a fire bomb and five policemen were slightly injured. The rioters left the building at about 6.30 p.m., mixed with students meeting inside, and managed to escape the police. According to police sources, the anarchists bent on mayhem numbered no more than 150 out of the 2,000 demonstrators who began their march at 2.30 p.m. Using tear gas, the police managed to prevent extensive damage to shops and offices in the city center. About 50 of the anarchists went on to occupy the Law School building. At Lagonissi, a resort 42 kilometers south of Athens, 300 students and Communist party members or sympathizers gathered to protest the OECD ministers meeting. There were some scuffles when the demonstrators tried to get closer to the hotel and police used tear gas. The demonstrators dispersed peacefully afterward. Opposition parties protested the police stopping 10 buses carrying student demonstrators from Thessaloniki outside Athens. They allowed the buses to proceed to Athens, escorted by patrol cars. Inside the hotel, the OECD education ministers debated ways to reform higher education. It was agreed that there will be four types of higher institutions in the future: open schools offering online education, local universities, mixed-funded schools and «enterprise universities» selling their services. «The debate on education is often hot. Witness Athens today,» said the OECD's newly appointed secretary-general, Angel Gurria. Greek university students have occupied more than 400 faculties across the country to protest the government's reform proposals. The protests will end this month to allow final-year students to take their exams in September.\nRelated Articles", "url": "http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_100004_28/06/2006_71421", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060707191620/http://ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_100004_28/06/2006_71421" } ]

Przedłużono ją ze względu na dłuższe głosowanie w dwóch lokalach wyborczych w Warszawie.\nW jednej z gdańskich komisji zabrakło kart do głosowania\nPrzedłużenie głosowania miało związek m.in. z brakiem kart do głosowania w lokalach na terenie Warszawy - nr 619 na ul. Cybisa 1 i 582 przy Lokajskiego 3.Jak mówił sędzia Kacprzak, o tym, że brakuje kart zorientowano się ok. godz. 19.30.- To nie chodzi o to, że kart do głosowania nie było wydrukowanych (...). W wystarczającej liczbie zostały wydrukowane i znajdowały się w rezerwie w zasięgu każdej komisji obwodowej. Fakt jest taki, że w tych komisjach obwodowych nie przewidziano, czy nie zorientowano się w odpowiednim momencie, aby z rezerwy zaopatrzyć się w dostateczną liczbę kart - powiedział sędzia Kacprzak.To nie pierwszy taki wypadek. Cisza wyborcza została już wcześniej przedłużona przez Państwową Komisję Wyborczą do godziny 20.20. O 20 minut trzeba przedłużyć głosowanie w jednej z komisji wyborczych w Płocku. W Pile, gdzie początkowo głosowanie miało trwać dwie godziny dłużej, ostatecznie zakończyło się ono o 20.15. Zdaniem PKW, głosowanie jak na razie przebiega bardzo spokojnie.Jak wyjaśnia PKW, przyczyny późniejszego otwarcia lokali - choć prozaiczne - były na tyle poważne, że automatycznie wpłynęły na przedłużenie ciszy wyborczej w całym kraju.Wieczór wyborczy w telewizjach TVN24 i TVN rozpoczął się zgodnie z planem o 19.50, jednak na wyniki sondaży trzeba będzie poczekać dłużej niż planowano. Zgodnie z planem audycja zakończy się na antenie TVN - o 21 ruszy tam \"Taniec z gwiazdami\". W tym czasie Wieczór wyborczy będzie kontynuowany w TVN24.Lokal obwodowej komisji wyborczej nr 45 w Płocku został otwarty o 20 minut później niż powinien. Powodem był zacięty zamek w szafie pancernej, w której przechowywano dokumenty wyborcze. Wybory uratował wezwany ślusarz, który uporał się z uszkodzeniem. Głosowanie w tym obwodzie zostanie jednak przedłużone.Z kolei w Pile głosowanie miało być przełożone na inne godziny - od 8 do 22 zamiast od 6 do 20. Powodem było uszkodzenie pieczęci. O przesunięciu głosowania wyborców informowano wywieszką na drzwiach komisji obwodowej. Ponieważ z problemem uporano się szybciej niż się spodziewano, wbrew wcześniejszej decyzji, by głosowanie trwało do 22.00, potrwa ono do 20.15.Jak podała PKW, zakończyło się już głosowanie na zachodniej półkuli - w Ameryce Północnej, Środkowej i Południowej. - Frekwencja wyniosła 57,65 proc. - podała PKW. Rekordowa była w Chicago - wyniosła ok. 93 proc., najmniejsza - w ambasadzie w Bogocie w Kolumbii - ok. 10 proc. uprawnionych.W Polsce również w niektórych miejscach głosowanie już się zakończyło i to z blisko 100 proc. frekwencją. W jednym z zakładów karnych głosowanie zakończyło się do godz. 8 rano - wzięło w nim udział 61 spośród 62 pensjonariuszy. Jeden z nich był bowiem na przepustce.Według policyjnych danych, do godz. 6 rano odnotowano łącznie 71 przypadków naruszenia ciszy wyborczej. Jak zauważyła PKW, wliczono w to jednak przypadki zrywania plakatów wyborczych, czego - według prawa - nie wlicza się do naruszenia wyborczej ciszy.Problemy z otwarciem lokalu wyborczego miały miejsce w Łodzi. Pracownicy urzędu miasta musieli bowiem wyważyć łomem drzwi - nieznani sprawcy zablokowali w nocy zamek, wkładając do niego zapałki. Lokal udało się jednak otworzyć przed szóstą rano i komisja wyborcza zaczęła działać bez opóźnienia.Również w Łodzi policjanci zatrzymali 28-letniego studenta z Białorusi oraz 22-letnią mieszkankę Chojnic, którzy usiłowali wstrzyknąć klej w zamek drzwi lokalu wyborczego.tea", "url": "http://www.tvn24.pl/-1,1525554,wiadomosc.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071023044334/http://www.tvn24.pl/-1,1525554,wiadomosc.html" }, { "language": "pl", "title": "PKW: cisza wyborcza zakończy się o godz. 22.55", "text": "PKW: cisza wyborcza zakończy się o godz. 22.55\nDo godz. 22.55 potrwa cisza wyborcza w całym kraju, bo do tego czasu będzie trwało głosowanie w jednej obwodowej komisji wyborczej w Warszawie - poinformował wiceprzewodniczący PKW Jan Kacprzak.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "24 Hours Vancouver", "text": "By\nSURREY, B.C. Meet Miga, Quatchi and Sumi, the mascots of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics who were introduced to the world Tuesday.\nMiga is snowboarding, surfing orca whale and Kermode bear hybrid. Quatchi is a Sasquatch, better known outside British Columbia as Bigfoot, who enjoys hockey and photography. Sumi is an alpine ski-loving animal spirit with the wings of a Thunderbird and legs of a black bear.\nThe trio is accompanied by Mukmuk, a Vancouver Island marmot who is not an official mascot, but a “sidekick” who enjoys eating, burrowing and making friends.\nThe quartet - designed by Vicki Wong of Vancouver and Michael Murphy of Los Angeles - made their debut in a four-minute animated video and in larger-than-life form for an audience of elementary school children and guests in an RCMP-secured theatre.\nVancouver Olympic organizers began an international search for designers on Sept. 28, 2006 and received 177 expressions of interest. Wong and Murphy's company Meomi Design was chosen on Dec. 15, 2006. Their designs were tested in focus groups in Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle.\n“The research showed the characters were universally liked among all age groups,” said a VANOC news release. “All of the mascots were considered fun, cute and friendly and parents universally considered them to be appropriate for their children.”\nThe Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics' mascots were twin, cowboy hat-wearing polar bears Hidy and Howdy. The 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal featured Amik the beaver.\nThe 2010 Winter Olympics begin in 808 days on Feb. 12, 2010 in Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium. Two years ago, VANOC chose a controversial multicoloured Inuit inukshuk as its logo. There are no Inuit tribes in the Olympics' host province.", "url": "http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/2007/11/27/4689540-24hvan.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20081012131038/http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/2007/11/27/4689540-24hvan.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "2010 Olympic mascots unveiled", "text": "Forget for just a moment that you are adult readers with adult ideas of what the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games mascots should look and act like.\nDon't think about the revenue that will be made from the sale of squeezable plush toy copies of the three new mascots, or whether the names are too Japanese-sounding or too easy to parody or even whether they represent Canada.\nInstead, Vanoc wants you to look at them through the eyes of children like eight-year-old Chantal Brasad, who giggled and smiled wide when asked which she likes most: Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch, or Sumi, the Thunderbird.\n“Oh, Miga. She's just so huggable. And she dances so well.”\nOr Aman Pooni, 10, a classmate at Kennedy Trail Elementary in Surrey.\n“Quatchi is my favourite. He's big and furry and lots of fun.”\nOr Simran Singh, 10: “I like Sumi because he's many different animals all at once. And he can fly.”\nBrasad, Pooni and Singh were among the 800 children from eight schools treated to the first look at the new mascots for the Vancouver Games. They were introduced to the creatures during a half-hour live show at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey.\nWithout exception, the reaction from the crowds was one of excitement, expectation and ultimately acceptance as they discovered the identities of the animals.\nThis was the validation of months of work by Vanoc staff and two designers from Vancouver-based Meomi Design to try and find animal emblems that would resonate with children as ambassadors to both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.\nWhat they settled upon was a combination of uniquely British Columbian animals and myths, none of them real in life, but very much alive in the minds of children. And to boot, they added a virtual sidekick, Mukmuk, a Vancouver Island marmot who likes to eat and will likely never be seen in the flesh.\nIn the moments after the children were treated to the show, both CEO John Furlong and Dave Cobb, the executive vice-president of marketing, admitted they'd gotten their choices wrong when they tested the images in secret focus groups.\nOf six designs put before children in Toronto, Montreal, Seattle, and the Lower Mainland over the last year, both men said the images they thought children would like the most were the ones everybody liked least.\n“Which is to say that 40- and 50-year-old men don't know what mascots should look like,” Furlong said. “But kids do.”\nThat, they say, is the key to what the mascot program is all about. Seeing mascots through the eyes of adults produces stereotypical ideas like bears, salmon, otters, and eagles. Seeing them from the height of a 10-year-old, like Graham Fleming of Richmond, gives a different perspective.\n“He's big, he's fluffy, he's cool, he's kind, and just a very enthusiastic mascot,” he said of Quatchi, who towered over him.\nIn unveiling the three mascots and their sidekick, Vanoc joined a long list of organizing committees that have used cute and cuddly as the benchmarks for successful mascots.\nNone of the mascots actually exist in real life: Miga the Sea Bear is a combination of an orca and a Kermode bear that her designers say likes surfing and snowboarding, and lives off the coast of Vancouver Island. Her black costume includes a fin coming out of her head.\nSumi, the Paralympic mascot, is a horned-hat-wearing Thunderbird from Whistler that likes alpine skiing.\nAnd Quatchi is the first Sasquatch in history to actually make an appearance before human beings. The young sasquatch, complete with blue earmuffs, likes hockey, photography and travel, and, given his hulking size, dreams of being a goalie.\nAs for Mukmuk, he's such a rare animal that Ali Gardiner, Vanoc's director of brand and creative services, says he won't show up much in public. Officially he's not a mascot, making him the first sidekick in Olympic history, she said.\nReaction to the mascots was swift. Vanoc's own Internet servers nearly crashed under the high demand of those wanting details.\nAnd reader response to The Vancouver Sun's front page Internet story was prolonged and mixed. Within hours of the story being posted, there were over 300 comments, many of them raking the designs as being too childish or not local enough.\n“Why not just use a 7-foot Wookie and a couple Ewoks while we're at it?” wrote one reader, alluding to characters from the Star Wars movies. Many readers suggested Miga was similar to Pokemon's Hello Kitty.\nBut others said the designs clearly had West Coast elements and were clever enough for children.\n“I like them. For those of you that think they don't represent Vancouver, the Thunderbird is UBC's mascot and the Sasquatch is popular in the Fraser Valley,” wrote another reader.\nThe mascots are the creation of Vancouver graphic designers Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy, who own Meomi Design. Vanoc says that although the two provided more than 20 different concepts, it was Quatchi, Miga and Sumi that they first proposed and were selected as winning designs.\nThe only major glitch in the design process was the discovery that an early name for Quatchi actually had a rude connotation in another language. Cobb wouldn't say what the word was, but insisted Vanoc has carefully vetted all of the creatures' names. He didn't think “Sumi” would be parodied into “Sue Me.”\nWong said she became interested in the concept of transformation and transfiguration when researching the designs. She said she and Murphy settled on the figures after she discovered a first nations legend about how killer whales transformed into bears on land.\nShe mixed the white kermode bear of B.C.'s mid-coast and came up with Miga.\n“We had about three months to do research and fill up sketch books of ideas. We just drew and drew and drew,” Wong said, adding she and Murphy were inspired by aboriginal art they found in B.C.\nThe existence of the mascots was kept so hush-hush that even Cobb and Furlong said they didn't tell their daughters, Gillian and Holly, who were only allowed to see the mascots this evening.\nVanoc conducted three separate shows today.\nThe first was for children from eight schools in the Lower Mainland and Sea To Sky corridor. Also attending were Nancy Campbell, the wife of Premier Gordon Campbell and a principal at Howe Sound Secondary, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper's wife, Laureen Harper, and their daughter, Rachel.\nThe second show in the afternoon was for Vanoc staff who, like the public, had been kept in the dark about the mascots' identities. And in the evening, Vanoc put on a final show for its sponsors and special guests.\nVanoc says the three mascots will make their first public appearances Wednesday in Vancouver and Toronto. In February, they’ll make the rounds of Quebec's Winter Carnival and Ottawa's Winterlude.\nAs much as mascots are supposed to be a hit with children, they also represent a major financial opportunity for Vanoc. Cobb wouldn't say how much of Vanoc's $46-million budgeted revenue from licensed products he hopes will come from the mascots, but it won't be insignificant.\nAnd Vanoc is striking quickly: starting today a range of plush toys, clothing, pins, and other memorabilia will be stocked in HBC, the department store sponsor.\nCobb said much of the merchandise will be made in China, although the contract was awarded to a Burnaby company. He deflected reporters' questions about how Vanoc will ensure the merchandise isn't manufactured in sweatshops, saying the committee has insisted its suppliers meet high standards of ethical conduct.\njefflee@png.canwest.com\n© (c) CanWest MediaWorks Publications Inc.", "url": "http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/story.html?id=e667e27b-924a-47e0-83e4-c2fd90a557b3&k=10951", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20141114053331/http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/story.html?id=e667e27b-924a-47e0-83e4-c2fd90a557b3&k=10951" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Vancouver 2010 Mascots Introduced to the World", "text": ">TELL A FRIEND >PRINTER FRIENDLY >SUBSCRIBE TO PORTFOLIO E-MAIL Attention News Editors/See CNW Photo Network and Archive: Vancouver 2010 Mascots Introduced to the World MIGA, QUATCHI AND SUMI MAKE THEIR DEBUT BEFORE HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN, AND ON VANCOUVER2010.COM VANCOUVER, Nov. 27 /CNW/ - Months of mystery and anticipation finally ended today as hundreds of local schoolchildren were the first to personally meet Miga, Quatchi and Sumi, the mascots for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Many more children around the globe had a virtual introduction to these friendly figures on a new mascot microsite at www.vancouver2010.com. More than 800 schoolchildren from grades three to five filled the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey, BC today to witness three enchanting characters emerge from the mists of a magical West Coast setting of gigantic trees, soaring mountains and a restless ocean, to take their place in history as cherished personalities of the 2010 Winter Games. Designed by the Vancouver-based company Meomi Design, Miga, Quatchi and Sumi were inspired by local Aboriginal mythological creatures and also strongly influenced by popular culture, modern animation styles, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, the culture and wildlife of British Columbia and Canada, and the artists' own imagination. Each of the creatures is unique, both in personality and physical appearance. Miga is a snowboarding sea bear inspired by the legends of the Pacific Northwest First Nations - tales of orca whales that transform into bears when they arrive on land. Part Spirit Bear, a rare white bear unique to BC, Miga's outgoing spirit and high energy draw her to action and adventure. Quatchi, a shy and gentle giant, is a sasquatch - a popular figure in local Aboriginal legends of the Pacific West Coast. Quatchi reminds us of the mystery and wonder associated with the great Canadian wilderness. Although Quatchi loves all winter sports, he's especially fond of hockey and dreams of becoming a world-famous goalie. Sumi is an animal spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the furry legs of the black bear. With a name that is derived from the Salish word 'sumesh,' meaning 'guardian spirit,' Sumi is passionate about the environment and is a fan of all Paralympic sports. Joining the three mascots is a friend, or 'sidekick,' by the name of Mukmuk. Mukmuk is a rare marmot unique to the mountains of Vancouver Island. While he's not officially a mascot, Mukmuk is considered an honourary member of the team and enjoys surprising his friends by popping up on occasion to share in the spirit and fun of the Games. Mukmuk's name comes from the Squamish word for food ('muckamuck') because he loves to eat - when he's not playing with his mascot friends. People across Canada and around the world are meeting the mascots on a specially designed mascot 'microsite' at vancouver2010.com. The microsite includes exciting child-friendly features such as an animated mascot video, character profiles, an online game, a mascot-related personality quiz, interactive e-cards, colouring pages and more. \"Miga, Quatchi and Sumi are ambassadors for Canada and we are thrilled to introduce them to Canadians and people from around the world,\" said John Furlong, Chief Executive Officer for the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC). \"Great care has been taken in developing and designing these Vancouver 2010 characters. They will tell a unique story about the Games and they will appeal to children across Canada and around the world. The mascots truly represent the people, geography and spirit of British Columbia and Canada, while personifying the essence of the 2010 Winter Games.\" The mascots are a key component of the Games identity and a playful way to engage a young audience and, at the same time, increase understanding of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The mascot launch represents a significant milestone on the road to staging the 2010 Winter Games. Said René Fasel, Chairman of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Coordination Commission: \"The IOC welcomes these imaginative new additions to the Olympic Family as they take their place on the world stage today - a symbol of the Games and of Canada. We know that when Olympians, Paralympians and visitors from around the globe arrive in British Columbia at Games time, they will fall under the spell of these captivating characters.\" Noted Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic Committee: \"The mascot for the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games is an excellent choice and I am sure that it will be loved by children all over the world. It represents the values of the Paralympic Movement, but also links to the Aboriginal Canadian culture and tradition.\" The second phase of the vancouver2010.com mascot program is scheduled for 2008, when additional online games and interactive features will be added. The online program takes traditional Games mascots to a new level, leveraging the reach of the internet so that children around the world can experience the mascots. The mascots will also be featured in the December issue of /EDU (at www.vancouver2010.com/edu), an online portal dedicated to connecting teachers, students and schools while celebrating the spirit of the 2010 Winter Games. Beginning tomorrow, the mascots will make appearances across Canada as ambassadors of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, inviting Canadians from coast to coast to celebrate Vancouver 2010, as well as bringing fun and goodwill to events leading up to the Games. At Games time, these friendly figures will make appearances throughout the Vancouver region and the Sea-to-Sky corridor, offering a warm welcome to all. VANOC is responsible for the planning, organizing, financing and staging of the XXI Olympic Winter Games and the X Paralympic Winter Games in 2010. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be staged in Vancouver and Whistler from February 12 to 28, 2010. Vancouver and Whistler will host the Paralympic Winter Games from March 12 to 21, 2010. /NOTE TO PHOTO EDITORS: A photo accompanying this release is available on the CNW Photo Network and archived at http://photos.newswire.ca.

The society also complained about Vanoc's demand that all designs, whether used or not, became its property in perpetuity, for which it paid no fees.\nAs a result of the criticism, Vanoc approached the society to help set minimum standards for the mascot design.\nOne major change that arose out of the negotiations was a three-stage bid process and payment to graphic designers. Busse said many of the 3,000-plus professional graphic designers are still sensitive about the way the logo was developed, but are pleased that Vanoc listened to their concerns.\nStill, the society is hoping the mascots will be representative of B.C. as the host province, he said.\n\"It is something that has got to feel British Columbian, because certainly that Inukshuk doesn't,\" Busse said. \"It's very important to designers because we don't want another cutesy little smiley-faced Pac-Man on a pile of stones to represent the rest of us. We're hoping for something elegant and intelligent and relevant.\"\nWhether a mascot that is destined to be marketed as a plush toy, emblazoned on clothing and make visits to schools can meet that test will be revealed today in Surrey. More than 800 children from eight Lower Mainland schools will be at the televised launch of the mascots at the Bell Performing Arts Centre.\nMaureen Douglas, Vanoc's director of communications for the mascot program, said life-sized mascots will embark almost immediately on a series of visits to schools, department stores and winter festivals across the country.\nDouglas wouldn't say how many mascots there are or sets of costumes Vanoc had to create.

Websites and blogs have been speculating on what inevitably cuddly, cute creatures the Vancouver Organizing Committee has come up with.\nWhat's at stake is an indelible image Vanoc wants recognized around the world, representative of British Columbia and Canada. They want mascots that will tie children and youth into the Olympic movement and to the Winter Games.\nThey also expect the mascots to drive their marketing and licence revenues.\nOn Wednesday morning licensees will stock stores with every manner of mascot-branded toy, clothing and trinket.\nThere has already been a frenzy among memorabilia collectors who have tried to get tickets to the unveiling at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. Some have gone so far as to ask reporters if they can work as their assistants.\nIn response, hyper-secrecy has been the order of the day; Vanoc has kept details off Internet-enabled computers and hidden them from search engines that scour patent and trademark databases around the world.\nVanoc has kept most of its staff in the dark. Only slightly more than a dozen employees and executives, the design team and a few close-mouthed sponsors who needed to develop pin designs know the details. Even people working with the design team who don't need access to the images haven't been shown them.\nVanoc is even reluctant to take reporters' calls about the design and process. The launch, as Dave Cobb, Vanoc's executive vice-president of marketing and communications, says, is one of the signature events in the run-up to the Games, and the principle of \"loose lips sink ships\" has been practised to high art form.\nIn one unintended hint, Vanoc CEO John Furlong once referred to the mascots in a speech as \"critters.\" We also know that the winning submission came from a pair of graphic designers, location unknown, whose bid was among 178 submissions professional designers made to Vanoc last September.\nSo, with all that in mind, what else is known about the mascots?\nWell, there are at least two -- one for the Olympics and one for the Paralympics. There might possibly be more, but Vanoc won't say if it is following in the steps of other Games committees that have chosen multiple mascots.\nThey will also have two legs. They have to, in order for humans to operate them. Even if they are, speculatively speaking, four-legged sea otters or Vancouver Island marmots, two-finned beluga whales or a first nations-inspired thunderbird with wings.\nWill they be uniquely identifiable as British Columbian? After all, even Premier Gordon Campbell has weighed in, suggesting the white kermode bear of B.C.'s central coast would be appropriate.\nVanoc is keeping mum.

(CP photo)\nPeter Irniq, a former Nunavut commissioner, said Tuesday the emblem, called \"Ilanaaq\" (which means friendship in Inuktitut) should not be called an Inukshuk.\nThe Inukshuk is an Inuit symbol designed as a directional marker, signifying safety, hope and friendship. Irniq has built the stone figures throughout Canada and the United States.\nHe says every Inukshuk has a meaning and a reason why it was built in a certain location. He says building the figures should not be taken lightly.\n\"Inuit never build Inukshuk with head, legs and arms. I have seen Inukshuk built more recently – 100 years maybe by non-Inuit in Nunavut – with head, legs and arms. These are not called Inukshuk. These are called 'inunguat,' [meaning] imitation of man, imitation of a person,\" he told CBC.\nIrniq says the Olympic committee should have consulted with the elders of Nunavut before they chose the design.\n\"Inukshuk is like survival. Inukshuks' important significance is survival. What we think about Inukshuk is what we think about the Canadian flag,\" said Irniq. \"It is that important.\"\nLack of West Coast influence criticized\nOn Monday, two B.C. native leaders questioned why the emblem doesn't have more West Coast influence.\nGrand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit said some native leaders were so upset with the logo they were prepared to walk out of the unveiling ceremony.\n\"First Nations in British Columbia helped sway the Olympic selection committee,\" John told the Canadian Press.\n\"One of the first important acts the [Vancouver 2010] committee did was kind of a slight on the support of First Nations.\"\nYOUR SPACE: Send us your thoughts\nChief Stewart Philip, president of the Union of B.C.

That might make it easier for hospitals to set up separate emergency facilities to deal with an influx of flu patients.\nSwine flu is now widespread in 46 states and accounts for 411 confirmed deaths since Aug. 30 and more than 8,200 hospitalizations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The numbers reflect what would be the peak of a typical flu season, CDC Director Thomas Frieden, said Oct. 23. “Many millions of cases” have occurred in the U.S. since the outbreak began earlier this year, he said.\nSenator Mitch McConnell, speaking earlier today on ABC’s “This Week,” said that Congress would “be happy” to provide any additional resources President Obama needs to combat swine flu. The Democratic administration earlier told Congress that it had provided “all the authority and all the money” needed, according to McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky who serves as his party’s leader in the Senate.\nSwine flu vaccine production is slower than anticipated and drugmakers are unlikely to hit the U.S. government’s targets for delivery, Frieden said.\nThe amount of vaccine available as of Oct. 21 was 16.1 million doses, with 11.3 million doses shipped to doctors and clinics in local communities, he said during a conference call with reporters.\nSome Difficulties\n“We’ve had difficulties with the projections we’ve had so far,” Frieden said of vaccine production. “The numbers will continue to increase. We think supply will become much more widespread within the next several weeks.”\nThe U.S. won’t reach its target of 195 million doses by the end of the year because of productions delays at two drugmakers and GlaxoSmithKline Plc’s failure to gain regulatory approval for its product, said Nicole Lurie, Health and Human Services assistant secretary for preparedness and response.\nFrieden declined to name the drugmakers.\n“Each different supplier has its own challenges,” he said. “The vaccine technology that we have is antiquated, but tried and true.

El inusual atentado, que también ha dejado una veintena de heridos, se ha producido en Ahvaz, la capital de la provincia de Juzestán, donde se concentra la minoría árabe del país y donde ha habido protestas esporádicas. Separatistas árabes se han responsabilizado del atentado. Poco después, el grupo Estado Islámico también se ha atribuido el ataque.\nEl objetivo de los agresores ha sido, según la agencia Isna, un puesto en torno al que se habían reunido varios militares durante el desfile anual en recuerdo del inicio de la guerra con Irak en 1980. Entre las víctimas mortales hay 12 miembros de la Guardia Revolucionaria. También un periodista, según el vicegobernador de Juzestán, quien teme que su número aumente ante la gravedad de los heridos. Las fuerzas de seguridad han matado a dos de los cuatro terroristas en el tiroteo que ha seguido.\nEntre los heridos hoy hay al menos una mujer y un niño. Todos han sido trasladados al hospital Apadana, en el centro de Ahvaz. Es previsible que muchas de las víctimas sean funcionarios o sus familiares, ya que suelen constituir el grueso de quienes asisten a este tipo de ceremonias. Desfiles similares se han realizado también en el cercano puerto de Bandar Abbas y en la capital, Teherán.\n“Varios hombres armados empezaron a disparar desde detrás de la tribuna durante el desfile. Hay varios muertos y heridos”, ha relatado un periodista de la televisión estatal citado por Reuters. De acuerdo con la emisora los autores son “elementos takfiris”, término éste con el que los portavoces iraníes se refieren a los extremistas suníes. La población de Irán sigue mayoritariamente la minoritaria rama chií del islam y sus dirigentes responsabilizan del terrorismo islamista a la estricta interpretación de los textos sagrados que hacen sus rivales políticos suníes, en especial la monarquía saudí.\nEl portavoz de la Guardia Revolucionaria, Ramezan Sharif, ha atribuido el ataque a Al Ahvaziya, un grupo nacionalista árabe que, según Sharif, es respaldado por Arabia Saudí. Significativamente, uno de los dirigentes de ese movimiento, Ahmad Mola Nissi, fue asesinado en Holanda a finales del año pasado, en circunstancias poco claras.\nAunque algunos grupos locales han realizado actos terroristas de menor envergadura con anterioridad, los atentados en Irán, en especial contra los militares, son muy raros. No obstante, el año pasado el Estado Islámico (ISIS) causó 18 muertos en la capital y conmocionó al país. Teherán acusó a Riad, con quien mantiene un pulso por el liderazgo de la región y cuyas relaciones han empeorado desde la llegada al poder del rey Salmán.\nCon motivo de esa celebración, el presidente iraní, Hasan Rohaní, ha pronunciado un discurso en el que ha asegurado que Irán “no va a abandonar su programa de misiles” y derrotará al presidente de EE UU, Donald Trump, “igual que hizo con Sadam Husein”. Es una interpretación subjetiva de la guerra con Irak, que acabó en 1988 con un millón de muertos en ambos países y sin ganador. Sus palabras ponen de relieve la creciente tensión con Washington a raíz de que Trump denunciara el acuerdo nuclear. Portavoces iraníes han sugerido la posibilidad de bloquear militarmente el golfo Pérsico para impedir las exportaciones de petróleo de sus vecinos en represalia por las sanciones estadounidenses a su país.\nJusto estos días, el Ejército iraní y la Guardia Revolucionaria (el verdadero poder militar del país) realizan maniobras en el Golfo.

Lluís Miquel Hurtado (@llmhurtado) 22 de septiembre de 2018\nTasnim ha añadido que la mayoría de muertos, entre los que hay un periodista, pertenecen a la Guardia Revolucionaria, la fuerza paramilitar leal al Líder Supremo de Irán, organización que también participaba en la marcha castrense con motivo del 38º aniversario del estallido de la guerra Irán - Irak. Sus efectivos han estado entre los primeros en intervenir contra los atacantes y atendiendo a las víctimas.\nDe acuerdo con el periódico Entejab, y según puede apreciarse en los vídeos trascendidos, los asaltantes han irrumpido en plena marcha militar abriendo fuego contra los presentes, entre ellos cientos de civiles. El pánico ha cundido durante los diez minutos que, se estima, ha durado el ataque. Las autoridades locales, ninguna de las cuales ha resultado herida, han despachado equipos sanitarios al sitio y solicitado donaciones de sangre.\nMedios locales añaden que el Presidente de Irán, Hasán Rohaní, presenció el desfile de Ahvaz, pero lo abandonó minutos antes del atentado. Está previsto que Rohani se pronuncie durante el desfile celebrado en Teherán.\nEl ministro de Exteriores, Mohamed Yavad Zarif, ha condenado el ataque a través de Twitter: \"Terroristas reclutados, entrenados, armados y pagados por un régimen extranjero han atacado Ahvaz.

Irán responderá rápida y decisivamente en defensa de las vidas iraníes\", ha tuiteado.\nTerrorists recruited, trained, armed & paid by a foreign regime have attacked Ahvaz.

Javad Zarif (@JZarif) 22 de septiembre de 2018\nSegún varios medios, un portavoz de la Guardia Revolucionaria iraní ha identificado a los atacantes como miembros de la organización Al Ahvaziya, un \"grupo terrorista\" separatista árabe con ánimo de \"intentar aplastar la grandeza de las Fuerzas Armadas\" de Irán. Un comunicado de reivindicación por parte de un autodenominado Movimiento Patriótico Democrático Árabe en Ahvaz, cuya veracidad no ha sido confirmada, circula por Internet y es difundido por medios iraníes. Fuentes oficiales aseguran que Al Ahvaziya - no se ha detallado si ambos nombres se refieren al mismo grupo armado - ha atentado anteriormente contra grupos de visitantes a los antiguos frentes de la guerra con Irak en esa región.\nLa provincia de Juzestán, cuya capital es Ahvaz, alberga un movimiento separatista árabe - etnia predominante en la zona - que puntualmente incurre en acciones de insurgencia contra las fuerzas de seguridad iraníes, amparándose en agravios de tipo político y económico. Ahvaz fue escenario de disturbios durante la ola de principios de este año en Irán.\nIrán ha acusado a Arabia Saudí de alentar la insurgencia armada árabe en el suroeste de Irán con ánimo de derrocar la República Islámica.

Today, the Vacaville resident is camped outside the president's Texas ranch - in the glare of the national media spotlight - demanding another face-to-face meeting, and ultimately his impeachment. Sheehan's son, Casey, an Army specialist, was killed in an ambush a week after his arrival in Iraq in April 2004.

Cindy Sheehan since has become a focal point in the partisan battle over the Iraq war, drawing the praise of many anti-war Democrats and the ire of Republicans who back Bush's decision. Her role in that battle exploded Monday morning, when Matt Drudge - the infamous commentator behind the popular Drudge Report, a right-leaning online news site - accused Sheehan of changing her tune to serve political purposes. Drudge's story, headlined \"Protesting Soldier Mom Changed Story on Bush,\" was posted in the highest slot on the Web site that receives more than 5 million visits per day. It drew quotes from a Sheehan interview published June 24, 2004, in The Reporter, suddenly dragging the newspaper into the fray. Vacaville mother Cindy Sheehan has not flip-flopped position, but has used her outrage and indignation to fuel an anti-war movement following the death of her son, Casey, in Iraq following an ambush in April 2004, according to Editor Diane Barney. That story, by staff writer David Henson, was an account of Sheehan's visit with the president in Seattle. In Henson's story, Sheehan admitted she and her husband, Patrick, debated before the meeting whether to ask pointed questions about the war and whether to vent their frustration over their son's sacrifice. Ultimately, the couple chose not to publicly criticize Bush in the meeting or shortly after. In Henson's story, Cindy Sheehan explained carefully, \"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis ... I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.\" Sheehan also said the trip to Seattle helped connect her family to others that had lost a son or daughter in Iraq. Sheehan said sharing their story with those families was rewarding, as was the time she got to spend with her own family. \"That was the gift the Advertisement president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,\" she said in the story. Drudge included that quote in his Monday morning report, but didn't explain that it referred to sharing time with her family, not the president. Drudge also included more recent quotes from Sheehan highly critical of Bush and the 2004 meeting, including her comments made Sunday to CNN. \"Every time we tried to talk about Casey and how much we missed him, he would change the subject,\" Sheehan told correspondent Wolf Blitzer of the cable news network. \"And he acted like it was a party.\" Drudge's report fueled opinions Monday on both sides of the political spectrum. Posters on the highly visited liberal Web log Daily Kos said Drudge's report was misleading, while right-wing bloggers, including the popular Michelle Malkin, echoed Drudge's sentiments that Sheehan was contradicting herself, perhaps for political reasons. Sheehan, in a press release distributed Monday by the Institute for Public Accuracy, explained she was \"still in shock\" during her 2004 meeting with the president. \"We had decided not to criticize the president then because during that meeting he assured us 'this is not political.' And I believed him,\" Sheehan wrote. \"Then, during the Republican National Convention, he exploited those meetings to justify what he was doing. It's now clear to me that what I had feared is true: Bush lied us into war, and Casey, more than 1,800 other Americans and thousands and thousands of Iraqis are dead because of what he did.\" Several attempts to reach Sheehan by phone Monday were unsuccessful. The Reporter republished Henson's 2004 story on www.thereporter.com Monday. It drew hundreds of visits within the first hour. \"It's important that readers see the full context of the story, instead of just selected portions,\" said Editor Diane Barney. \"We stand by the story as an accurate reflection of the Sheehans' take on the meeting at the time it was published.\" Tom Hall can be reached at vacaville@thereporter.com.", "url": "http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_2925925", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050811234607/http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_2925925" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Bush: Energy bill effects will be long-term", "text": "Bush: Energy bill effects will be long-term\nCritics slam tax breaks for oil companies\nALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- After years of debate in Congress, President Bush on Monday signed sweeping legislation that he touted as part of a long-term solution to the nation's energy problems.\n\"This bill is not going to solve our energy challenges overnight,\" Bush said just before signing the bill into law. \"It's going to take years of focused efforts to alleviate those problems.\"\nBush traveled here from his ranch in Crawford, Texas, to sign the 1,724-page bill, which was passed, with bipartisan support, to end a yearlong standoff in Congress over national energy policy.\nThe bill-signing ceremony at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque begins a week of events meant to highlight recently passed legislation and underscore economic and national security issues. In coming days, Bush meets at his Texas ranch with his defense and economic advisers and travels to Illinois to sign a highway bill.\nSupporters of the energy bill say that in the long run, the new law will refocus the nation's energy priorities and promote cleaner and alternative sources of energy. Bush has said he believes the nation must find new ways, besides fossil fuels, to power the economy.\n\"This economy is moving, and what this energy bill does is that it recognizes that we need more affordable and reliability sources of energy,\" Bush said. \"This bill launches an energy strategy for the 21st century and I've really been looking forward to signing it.\"\nBut even the bill's sponsors acknowledged the legislation will have little, if any impact, on today's energy prices or less dependence on oil imports.\nCrude-oil prices rallied to a new high above $63 a barrel on Monday, reflecting market fears over the U.S. embassy closure in Saudi Arabia due to security threats and concerns that shutdowns of U.S. oil refineries would reduce supply.\nWhen he arrived, Bush took a tour of the Energy Department's national solar thermal test facility, which was built in 1976 in response to the oil embargo and energy crisis. Bush walked in a field of mirrored solar panels, wearing shirt sleeves and sunglasses to ward off the bright, midday sun.\nNew Mexico is home to Republican Sen. Pete Domenici, a driving force in getting the measure passed. Domenici, who chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the bill is not for today or tomorrow, but is a \"bill for the future.\"\n\"It means less dependence on foreign oil,\" he said. \"When we expand ethanol and the other things in this bill, we will grow less dependent, not all the way, but less dependent.\"\nNew Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman, the top Democrat on Energy Committee, praised the passage of the bill but said more must be done to tap the potential of renewable energy, address global warming and use less oil from overseas.\nThe bill did not \"markedly reduce these imports,\" Bingaman said in a statement. \"We need to build a consensus around effective steps to use less oil in our transportation sector, which is the basic cause of our increasing reliance on oil imports.\"\nThe measure funnels billions of dollars to energy companies, including tax breaks and loan guarantees for new nuclear power plants, clean coal technology and wind energy.\nBut for the first time, utilities will be required to comply with federal reliability standards for its electricity grid, instead of self-regulation. That is intended to reduce the chance of a repeat of a power blackout, such as the one that struck the Midwest and Northeast in the summer of 2003.\nFor consumers, the bill would provide tax credits for buying hybrid gasoline-electric cars and making energy-conservation improvements in new and existing homes.\n\"If you're in the market for a car, this bill will help you save up to $3,500 on a fuel-efficient hybrid or clean-diesel vehicle,\" Bush said.\nAlso, beginning in 2007, the measure extends daylight-saving time by four weeks to save energy.\nThe bill's price tag -- $12.3 billion over 10 years -- is twice what the White House had first proposed.\nIt does not include Bush's desire to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration. Drilling advocates, however, have a backup plan that is expected to unfold in mid-September.\nDomenici said he will include a provision authorizing Arctic drilling as part of a budget procedure that is not subject to filibuster. A similar maneuver is being planned in the House, although the final strategy is being worked out.\nCritics of the energy bill are speaking out while Bush is in New Mexico. The League of Conservation Voters, The Wilderness Society, the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, USAPIRG and others plan to highlight what else is not in the energy bill.", "url": "http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/08/bush.ap/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050810005624/http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/08/bush.ap/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "A very special Mother's Day", "text": "A very special Mother's Day May 8, 2005 BY JIM RITTER Health Reporter\nOn Jan. 24, shortly after 3 a.m., Billi Tierney gave birth to her first child in an emergency C-section. The baby was five weeks premature. Billi and her husband, Ted, hadn't bought a crib yet, or even picked a name. But the moment Billi laid eyes on her son, she knew that his name would be Jaxon. Billi got to hold Jaxon for only 15 minutes. He was doing fine, but Billi was desperately ill from a rare complication of pregnancy. She would spend a week in a coma and undergo three more major operations, including a liver transplant, before seeing her baby again. If not for the generosity of a grieving family that donated a liver, Billi would not be alive today to celebrate her first Mother's Day with Jaxon. \"Every day I look at him and think, 'I'm so glad I'm here,'\" she said. \"He needs a mom.\" Billi, 30, was in excellent health before she got pregnant. She ate the right foods, worked out five days a week and ran a marathon in less than five hours. And throughout most of her pregnancy, the only apparent problem was a stretch of morning sickness. 'Lowest of lows' Trouble began around the 34th week, when Billi went into premature labor. Doctors stopped the contractions and put Billi on bed rest, and she went on leave from her job as a career counselor. A week later, Billi began experiencing disturbing symptoms -- swollen ankles, puffy face, bleeding gums, dark urine. A doctor ordered her to go immediately to Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb. It looked like Billi had preeclampsia -- pregnancy-induced high blood pressure that can be life-threatening to both mother and baby. Jaxon weighed 5 pounds, 9 ounces at birth. He was healthy, and Billi's doctor said her blood pressure should return to normal. Ted began calling family members and friends with the happy news. But what looked like preeclampsia turned out to be a complication that occurs in fewer than one in 7,000 pregnancies. Proteins from the baby were causing Billi's liver cells to fill with fat. Eight hours after Jaxon's birth, a doctor told Ted that Billi might need a liver transplant. She would be airlifted to a transplant hospital, Loyola University Medical Center. \"I went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows,\" Ted said. \"You have a son with the woman you love, and the next moment you learn you might lose her.\" Billi's failing liver caused her lungs and kidneys to shut down, and she was put on a ventilator and dialysis. Worse yet, Ted was told Billi would need emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding from a liver biopsy. \"Please save my wife,\" Ted pleaded. \"She is the nicest person you will ever meet. You have to save her.\" Billi survived the operation, and afterward Ted told the surgeon, \"Thank you for giving us a chance.\" Doctors played a nerve-racking waiting game. If they were patient, Billi might recover on her own, as most patients do. But if they waited too long and her liver didn't improve sufficiently, Billi might die or get so sick the transplant would fail. Of the six other women who have had liver transplants in the United States for Billi's condition, only one is known to have survived longer than 30 days. Billi's liver did improve a bit, and doctors performed a second successful operation to clean out a blood clot and check the liver. Billi came off the transplant waiting list. But a few days later, her liver stopped improving, and Billi went back on the list. Without a new liver, she had only five to seven days to live. Billi went to the top of the list. Three days later, a young person died in Florida, and the family donated the liver. On Feb. 4, Dr. John Brems performed the eight-hour transplant, as 15 friends and family members waited. Feeling stronger every day Brems has done more than 1,000 liver transplants at Loyola and two California hospitals. This was one of the easier ones because Billi was young and otherwise healthy. Minutes after the surgery, Billi already looked better. The jaundice that had made her skin yellow was fading rapidly. \"I thought, 'Man, she's going to be OK,'\" Ted said. Billi was surprised at how little pain she felt during her recovery. But it took time to get used to her medications. And she had to learn how to walk again after being bedridden. She was shocked at how thin her legs had become. Nineteen days after the transplant, Billi came home and held Jaxon for the first time in a month. There's no way Billi could have cared for a newborn by herself. Fortunately, Ted works from their Sycamore home as a legal editor, so he could help out. Billi isn't fully recovered yet, but she's feeling stronger every day. She would like to return to work someday. Billi will have to take anti-rejection drugs, which will make her more vulnerable to infections and can have side effects such as kidney damage. But she will have no dietary or lifestyle restrictions. Her liver should last a lifetime. \"A liver probably would live 300 years if you didn't die from something else,\" Brems said. \"It's almost ageless.\" Jaxon is a mellow baby. He loves to snuggle and is beginning to smile. \"I never realized I could love this little baby so much,\" Billi said. \"He was worth every surgery.\" Billi does not know the identity of her donor, but she is drafting a letter to the family. \"I'm so thankful I had a second chance of living and being a mom.\"", "url": "http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-mom08.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20050508194957/http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-mom08.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "The Peace Media Research Center's e-magazine::", "text": "Monday 08 August 2005\nThe man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.\n- Stephen King\nGeorge W. Bush hauled stakes for Texas and a vacation a few days ago. Cindy Sheehan followed. She got off a bus Saturday afternoon and started walking to the Crawford ranch. She wanted some answers and was going to get them.\nSheehan had met Mr. Bush once before. On April 4, 2004, just shy of a year after Bush stood on an aircraft carrier beneath a banner that read \"Mission Accomplished,\" Cindy Sheehan's son, Army Specialist Casey A. Sheehan, was killed in Iraq when his unit was attacked by rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. He was 24 years old.\nAfter Casey's death, Cindy Sheehan was invited to the White House for a visit with Mr. Bush in June of 2004. Her first memory of Bush's appearance that day was when he walked into the room and said in a loud, bluff voice, \"Who we'all honorin' today?\"\n\"His mouth kept moving,\" Sheehan later recalled of her meeting with Bush, \"but there was nothing in his eyes or anything else about him that showed me he really cared or had any real compassion at all. This is a human being totally disconnected from humanity and reality. His eyes were empty, hollow shells.\" Bush called her \"Ma\" or \"Mom\" throughout the whole meeting, and never got around to learning her name.\n\"The whole meeting was simply bizarre and disgusting,\" Sheehan said later. \"designed to intimidate instead of providing compassion. He didn't even know our names. I just couldn't believe this was happening. It was so surreal and bizarre. Later I met with some of the other fifteen or sixteen families who were at the White House the same day and, sure enough, they all felt the same way I did.\"\nThat was it. Cindy Sheehan, who had never been politically active in her life, became an activist. She traveled the country to speak to whomever would listen, she told the story of Casey's life and death, and she threw fire at George W. Bush with the passionate anguish of a mother who was forced to bury her son.\n\"Casey was told that he would be welcomed to Iraq as a liberator with chocolates and rose petals strewn in front of his unarmored Humvee\" Sheehan wrote in February. \"He was in Iraq for two short weeks when the Shi'ite rebel 'welcome wagon' welcomed him to Baghdad with bullets and RPG's, which took his young and beautiful life. Casey was killed after George Bush proclaimed 'Mission Accomplished' on May 1, 2003. Hundreds of our young people and thousands of Iraqis have been needlessly and senselessly murdered since George Bush triumphantly announced an end to 'major combat' almost 2 years ago now. All of the above events have been heralded by this administration as 'turning points' in the 'war on terror' - or as wonderful events in the 'march of democracy.'\"\nIn June of 2005, Cindy Sheehan testified at a hearing in Washington DC about the Downing Street Minutes, the recently leaked British intelligence documents which exposed the fact that Bush intended to invade Iraq almost from the beginning of his first term, and that \"Intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy\" of invasion.\n\"I believed before our leaders invaded Iraq in March, 2003,\" said Sheehan in her testimony, \"and I am even more convinced now, that this aggression on Iraq was based on a lie of historic proportions and was blatantly unnecessary. The so-called Downing Street Memo dated 23 July, 2003, only confirms what I already suspected: the leadership of this country rushed us into an illegal invasion of another sovereign country on prefabricated and cherry picked intelligence. It appears that my boy Casey was given a death sentence even before he joined the Army in May of 2000.\"\nAnd so it came to pass that George W. Bush hauled stakes for Texas and a vacation a few days ago, and Cindy Sheehan followed. She got off a bus Saturday afternoon and started walking to the Crawford ranch. She wanted some answers and was going to get them. She got as far as a police checkpoint, and has gotten no further. She is still there, waiting to speak to Mr. Bush so she can get an answer to her question. Why did her son die?\nThe folks on the Crawford ranch sent out some important people to speak to her. They sent Stephen Hadley, the national security adviser. They sent Joe Hagin, a deputy White House chief of staff. Cindy Sheehan sent them both packing.\nBy Sunday, a media frenzy had erupted around her. On Sunday night, the New York Times published a story about Sheehan's Texas standoff. \"Her success in drawing so much attention to her message - and leaving the White House in a face-off with an opponent who had to be treated very gently even as she aggressively attacked the president and his policies - seemed to stem from the confluence of several forces,\" wrote the Times. \"The deaths last week of 20 Marines from a single battalion has focused public attention on the unremitting pace of casualties in Iraq, providing her an opening to deliver her message that no more lives should be given to the war.\"\n\"At the same time,\" continued the article, \"polls that show falling approval for Mr. Bush's handling of the war have left him open to challenge in a way that he was not when the nation appeared to be more strongly behind him. It did not hurt her cause that she staged her protest, which she said was more or less spontaneous, at the doorstep of the White House press corps, which spends each August in Crawford with little to do, minimal access to Mr. Bush and his aides, and an eagerness for any new story.\"\nCasey Sheehan was every mother's son. Cindy Sheehan is every son's mother. She loved him with every cell in her body and every breath in her soul, and mourns his absence in every second of every day, and will have some answers for her pain and loss, or will know the reason why. She is down in Crawford, right now, waiting for George W. Bush to stop sending lackeys to placate her. She wants to speak to the man who sent her son to die.

As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, Russia has the veto right and, therefore, would be able to influence the development of the project.\nThe idea was put forward by Dmitry Rogozin, Moscow’s envoy to the security alliance, writes the daily, citing diplomatic sources.\nThe package of proposals has yet to be formalized. The idea has been nicknamed “Strategic Defense of Earth” as an allusion to “The Strategic Defense Initiative’ – better known as “Star Wars” – suggested by former US President Ronald Reagan in 1983.The costly and highly-criticized plan for ground and space-based systems intended to make America invulnerable to nuclear attacks.\nThe point of the Russian “Star Wars” initiative is to focus on fighting threats coming from space rather than just missiles. The Washington-backed missile defense shield is customized purely for countering missiles “launched somewhere in the Middle East,” a source told Kommersant. Moscow proposes a different approach. It would be an integration of anti-aircraft, missile and space defenses.\n“Thereby, the system… would be targeted against possible threats to Earth coming from space, including asteroids, comet fragments, and other alien bodies,” the source is cited as saying. The system should be capable of both monitoring the space and destroying any dangerous objects as they approach our planet.\nThe plan mulled over in Moscow uses American logic – their habit of thinking globally. The missile defense idea that Washington currently sticks to does solve a global task: it saves the US and its allies from missile threats.\n“[The Russian] concept gives an opportunity to propose [the US] even a more global task – to save the world. And also do it together with us rather than on their own,” Kommersant’s informant noted.\nAccording to the paper, President Dmitry Medvedev showed interest in the proposals and instructed Dmitry Rogozin and presidential aide Sergey Prikhodko to work further on the initiative. However, no official confirmation or comments have followed so far.\nLast week, Washington made it clear that the negotiations with Moscow on the missile defense shield in Europe had reached a dead end. Michael McFaul – the recently-nominated US ambassador to Russia and a chief architect of the President Barack Obama's policy of \"reset\" of relations with the Kremlin – announced that the US had no plans to provide any legally-binding guarantees that the defense system would not be targeted against Russia.\nMoscow, though, continues to stand firm in its position. The Russian side wants the US to provide not only legal guarantees that there is no threat, but also the exact parameters this system may possess – the number of interceptor missiles, their location, speed and range.\n\"All this must guarantee that the missile defense system in Europe will not weaken the Russian strategic potential. Moreover, the guarantees must be provided not only by the United States, but by NATO as a whole,\" Dmitry Rogozin told NTV channel on Tuesday, cites Interfax agency. \"NATO, within the framework its joint responsibility, must say something to Russia too.\"\nThe Russian envoy added that if the guarantees cannot be provided during Obama’s tenure, “they will be given under another administration.”\nA deployment of Iskander-M missile systems in Russia’s northwestern military district of Leningrad may become one of the arguments in the row, writes Izvestia newspaper. Following McFaul’s statement, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced of a creation of a first brigade that would entirely armed with Iskanders.\nLast week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov admitted that there was no movement in missile defense talks between Russia, the US and NATO. However, he expressed confidence that Russia was capable of defending its territory and international position.\n“In our development plans we have opportunities to secure our territory and our positions in the strategic stability sphere without serious additional expenditures,” the official said in an interview with Russia’s Profile magazine.\nThe American plan to deploy elements of its defense system in Eastern Europe has been a bone of contention between the two powers ever since it was first announced by former US president George W. Bush. Russia has feared that the shield would pose a threat to its national security, while America kept assuring – in word only – that it is purely a protection against possible attacks from so-called rouge states.\nDespite the announced “reset” in the relations after President Obama came to office, Washington is going ahead with its plans.\nLast month, the US signed a deal with Turkey on the deployment of an American radar station in the in the southeastern Turkish province of Malatya by the end of the year. Also in September, Romania agreed to a deal with Washington under which land-based SM3 interceptor missiles and over 100 military personnel will be based on Romanian soil.\nOn September 15, the Polish-American missile defense plan – first signed in 2008 – entered into force. Under the agreement, the US will deploy its SM-3 interceptors at Redzikowo Base in Poland.", "url": "http://rt.com/politics/missile-defense-earth-nato-085/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20111019034405/http://rt.com/politics/missile-defense-earth-nato-085/" } ]

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Mugabe party questions vote count", "text": "Zanu-PF said anomalies had been detected in a number of constituencies President Robert Mugabe's party has asked Zimbabwe's electoral officials to delay presidential poll results to check \"errors and miscalculations\". The opposition Movement for Democratic Change said the move was illegal - a recount is possible only after the result has been published. They have asked the High Court to publish the outcome immediately. The MDC believes its leader Morgan Tsvangirai won outright in the vote held eight days ago. The opposition party has also denied it had proposed a unity government. A minister had earlier said Zanu-PF had rejected an opposition call for a coalition. On Saturday, the opposition accused President Mugabe of \"preparing a war\". And the farmers' union said a number of white-owned farms had been briefly invaded by war veterans' groups loyal to Mr Mugabe in southern Masvingo. A spokesman said the situation was under control after police intervened to disperse them. 'Anomalies' Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party has cited what it claims are anomalies in the presidential vote despite the fact the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has still to release the result. Information Minister Bright Matonga told the BBC the anomalies were with the collation of the results - there was a discrepancy between the voting results put outside polling stations and the form sent to the central election commission. It's madness literally and metaphorically\nTendai Biti\nMDC Secretary-General\nSpeculation grips Harare Brown and Mbeki in Zimbabwe talks Send us your comments It was not clear if this meant the whole vote had to be counted again. The minister insisted the request did not amount to a recount - which has been dismissed as illegal by MDC Secretary-General Tendai Biti. \"The [Electoral] Act says that you ask for a recount within 48 hours of the counting,\" he said. \"Counting takes place at polling stations so it's within 48 hours of that. \"It's madness literally and metaphorically\". According to papers submitted to the ZEC by Zanu-PF, the number of votes for Mr Mugabe recorded at a number of polling stations were reduced before being sent on to electoral officials. Some ZEC officials working in the Midlands constituencies of Mberengwa East, West, North and South had since been arrested, the state-run Sunday Mail newspaper said. \"As will soon become apparent, the constituency elections officer and his team committed errors of miscounting that are so glaring as to prejudice not just our clients' candidate but also his co-contestants,\" Zanu-PF's letter said, according to the Sunday Mail. In a separate article, the Sunday Mail quoted Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa as saying the Zanu-PF had rejected an offer from Mr Tsvangirai to form a national unity government, but Mr Biti denied that an offer had been made. Court challenge Before the High Court judge on Sunday, MDC lawyer Alec Muchadehama said the results \"must be announced forthwith\", as they had been available since 30 March. But ZEC lawyer George Chikumbirike said the court's remit did not include ruling on the case - only ZEC could adjudicate. The court is to rule on Monday on whether it has jurisdiction over the case. The Zanu-PF complaint came hours after the ZEC declared the final results of last week's Senate election. It said Mr Mugabe's party had won 30 seats, with the combined opposition taking the same number. The MDC says Mr Tsvangirai took 50.3% of the presidential vote In the lower house, opposition parties took 109 seats, while Zanu-PF won just 97 - the first time it has failed to win a majority since independence from the UK in 1980. On Saturday Mr Tsvangirai claimed victory for the first time since the vote, saying figures posted outside polling stations confirmed he had reached the required threshold of more than 50% of the vote to win outright - making a run-off unnecessary. He also claimed that the country's central bank was printing money \"for the finance of violence\", and called for dialogue on a peaceful transition. Mr Mugabe, 84, came to power 28 years ago at independence on a wave of optimism. But in recent years Zimbabwe has been plagued by the world's highest inflation, as well as acute food and fuel shortages, which correspondents say have driven many voters to back the opposition.

Party officials responded that they had the right to circulate figures posted at local polling stations and at higher levels.\nTsvangirai formation spokesman Nelson Chamisa told reporter Blessing Zulu of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that the MDC release of data had been perfectly legal.\nPreliminary results suggested that Tsvangirai's MDC formation made deep inroads in parts of the country traditionally dominated by Mr. Mugabe's ruling party, unseating a number of ZANU-PF ministers in house of assembly races. The Tsvangirai grouping also bested the rival MDC formation led by Arthur Mutambara, which had thrown its political weight behind independent presidential candidate Simba Makoni.\nEarly projections from qualified sources gave Tsvangirai better than 50% of the vote in the presidential race, trailed by Mr. Mugabe with 36% and Makoni under 10%.\nThere were unconfirmed reports that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission was under intense pressure from military authorities to declare Mr. Mugabe the winner.\nEarlier, delay in the release of official results led Secretary General Tendai Biti of the Tsvangirai MDC grouping to refer to a \"constitutional threat\" to the outcome. Biti had been categorical as to the opposition's sweeping victory, \"barring a miracle.\"\nCorrespondent Sylvia Manika of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe reported on the MDC news conferences held at 1 a.m. Sunday and later in the morning.\nLittle was forthcoming throughout Sunday from the government. Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu urged the population to be patient and to remain calm.\nPresidential spokesman George Charamba told the state-controlled Sunday Mail newspaper that if Tsvangirai declared himself the winner before official results were released, that would be tantamount to a coup.\nThe U.S. embassy released a statement warning American citizens in Zimbabwe that a \"volatile situation\" was developing in the wake of the elections \"with the possibility of violence across Zimbabwe\" through Sunday night into Monday. It advised American citizens to \"move to a safe location until the Embassy provides further information.\"\nU.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in the Mideast, said Mr. Mugabe was a “disgrace” to his people and Africa, voicing concern on whether the elections could be determined to have been free and fair given the scarcity of international observers.\nLate Sunday all eyes were on the election command center in the Harare International Conference Center where journalists and others waited for ZEC to release results.\nCorrespondent Thomas Chiripasi reported on what ZEC was telling the country.\nThe Zimbabwe Election Support Network, a civic organization that deployed 11,000 election observers across the country, said electoral commission delays in releasing the results were causing confusion and concern. Though preliminary results had been posted outside polling stations nationwide, ZESN officials said electoral authorities were telling them that they were encountering unspecified logistical problems.\nCorrespondent Sylvia Manika covered a ZESN news conference late Sunday at which the non-governmental organization demanded that ZEC release election results.\nZESN Chairman Noel Kututwa told reporter Carole Gombakomba that ZEC's delay in releasing the results was unusual as figures had emerged faster in other elections.\nThe Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, another non-governmental organization, criticized the electoral commission for withholding the results, saying this could cause alarm.\nCrisis Coalition spokesman MacDonald Lewanika told reporter Patience Rusere that efforts to obtain clarification from the electoral commission had been fruitless.\nA polling agent from Zvimba, Mashonaland West, expressed surprise and concern at the delay in releasing results.

One senior ZANU-PF official even warned opposition activists not to declare premature victory, saying that the government would treat this as a \"coup.\"\nYet if the military commanders order a clampdown on opposition supporters, will their soldiers – as poverty stricken as much of the rest of the country – follow them?\n\"There's a lot of talk about people's power at the polls, but a change of leadership will only happen if the military joins the masses,\" says Henri Boshoff, a military analyst at the Institute for Security Studies in Tshwane, as Pretoria is now called. \"The question now is, what will the military do?\"\nWhile police forces, and especially the riot police are well looked after, the Zimbabwe Defense Forces (ZDF) reportedly have been struck with mass desertions, says Mr. Boshoff. At times, the ZDF has been so hard up for cash and supplies that it has sent its troops home on compulsory leave because it couldn't feed them. As such, Boshoff says, statements by senior military commanders should be taken with a grain of salt.\n\"What the military says at the senior level and what happens at the ground level of the rank and file are two very different things,\" says Boshoff.\nOpposition celebrations\nIn constituencies around the country, supporters of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) opposition party started to celebrate. Jubilant crowds filled the streets of Harare as word of the MDC's victory spread across the country. Many said the MDC victory meant an end to the suffering of Zimbabweans, whose country has the highest inflation rate in the world (100,000 percent) and 80 percent unemployment to boot.\n\"Our cries have been heard,\" said Arnold Munashe, a voter in Harare. \"The old man is gone and our suffering has ended. Let's try another leader, Morgan Tsvangirai,\" he said, referring to the MDC leader as he joined his colleagues in the celebrations.\nIn Mbare, Harare's oldest high-density suburb, suspected Zanu-PF militia forced the closure of a popular market as punishment for \"voting the MDC into power.\" The market was only reopened after police intervention.\nIn the suburbs of Harare, opposition celebration has been halted by heavily armed police, who have been deployed around the country to thwart any form of political violence.\nPage 1 | 2 | Next Page", "url": "http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0331/p25s04-woaf.html?page=1", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080407101851/http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0331/p25s04-woaf.html?page=1" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Zimbabwe pushed for quick release of election results", "text": "(CNN) -- Election observers called on Zimbabwe's government to release the results of weekend elections as soon as possible to avoid political unrest, but government officials said the results won't be out until Monday.\nZimbabwean President Robert Mugabe campaigns in the capital of Harare last week.\nJustice George Chiweshe, the chairman of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, announced the commission would begin releasing results at 6 a.m. Monday (midnight Sunday ET).\nAppearing on Zimbabwe's ZTV television network, he said commissioners had to verify results and would not be pressured into releasing them early.\n\"We are dealing with a matter with national dimensions ... Our mandate is clearly laid down in terms of the Constitution and we have tried -- actually, have followed -- that,\" Chiweshe said.\nBut Marwick Khumalo, a spokesman for the Pan-African Parliament observer mission, said he had no doubt the election commission knew \"at least a larger part, if not all the results,\" by Sunday evening.\n\"So really, it is frustrating not only for the Zimbabweans themselves, even for those of us who come from afar, to come and witness this historical event,\" Khumalo said.\nSaturday's vote posed a serious challenge to President Robert Mugabe's three-decade rule over Zimbabwe. Former finance minister Simba Makoni, and Morgan Tsvangirai of the main opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, were vying to unseat the 84-year-old incumbent.\nDefying a government order, MDC released its count of the votes Sunday and claimed an early victory for Tsvangirai. The party said it tallied the results posted outside each polling station -- and based on one-third of the returns, that count showed Tsvangirai won 67 percent of the votes, journalists inside Zimbabwe told CNN. Watch polls close in Zimbabwe »\nThe Zimbabwean government has denied CNN and other international news organizations permission to enter the country to report on the elections.\nAt its Sunday news conference, MDC also claimed it has won the majority of parliamentary seats in Zimbabwe's urban centers, including Harare and Bulawayo. MDC enjoys widespread support in the cities. Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party has its base in Zimbabwe's rural areas.\nTakura Zhangazha, a local media watchdog representative, said it is unclear if the government would actually release results Monday.\nSpeaking to CNN from Harare, Zhangazha warned the government needs to announce the results \"as soon as possible to allay any fears of rigging or cheating in terms of the vote.\"\n\"There's too much speculation, and the speculation tends to lead to a lot of political tension,\" said Zhangazha, part of the Media Institute for Southern Africa.\n\"I would not want to see people then fighting over the results or any political violence or tensions then occurring.\"\nMDC leaders have already dismissed the government's unannounced results as rigged in favor of the incumbent leader and began declaring victory just hours into Saturday's vote. But there are concerns that if each side claims victory, tensions could ignite and violence could erupt.\nSimba Makoni, who was expelled from the Zanu-PF after announcing his bid to unseat Mugabe, said it was \"premature to judge that the environment before the balloting has had some impediment.\"\n\"Overall it was not a conducive environment\" for voting, Makoni said, citing voter confusion and lack of access to the media. \"But we know our people are clear about what they want and we expect they will express their will. We will wait and see the results.\"\nCritics of the government predicted the vote would be rigged or marred by fraud. The United States this week warned of a possible unfair election, and New York-based Human Rights Watch announced earlier this month that the elections were likely to be \"deeply flawed.\"\nA hero of the country's civil war against the white Rhodesian government, Mugabe became the country's first black prime minister in 1980. But nearly three decades later, he has consolidated his rule over all aspects of Zimbabwean life.\nHis country was once revered for offering its citizens some of the best education and health care in Africa, but now, schooling is a luxury and Zimbabwe has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world.\nZimbabwe was once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa, but now it is difficult to get even basic food supplies. Inflation has skyrocketed to more than 100,000 percent while food production and agricultural exports have dropped drastically.\nPart of the economic freefall is traced to Mugabe's land redistribution policies, including his controversial seizure of commercially white-owned farms in 2000. Mugabe gave the land to black Zimbabweans who he said were cheated under colonialist rule, and white farmers who resisted were jailed.\nIn 2005, Mugabe launched Operation Clean Out the Trash, in which he razed slum areas across the country.\nMugabe denies mismanagement and blames his country's woes on the West, saying sanctions have harmed the economy.

Beide Unternehmen einigten sich nach Pfizer-Angaben vom Montag auf eine Übernahme im Wert vom 14 Milliarden Dollar.\nDamit hat eine Reihe von rivalisierenden Interessenten das Nachsehen. Das gilt insbesondere für den französischen Sanofi -Konzern. Dieser hatte im April eine Offerte über 9,3 Milliarden Dollar für Medivation vorgelegt.

Eine Kombination hätte zwar strategische Vorteile geboten, erklärten die Franzosen. Vorrang habe aber, dass bei Zukäufen Disziplin gewahrt werde.\nDie Analysten der Investmentfirma RBC Capital Partners halten eine Überbietung der Pfizer-Offerte für sehr unwahrscheinlich.

Relatives grieve for victims of Saturday’s ferry disaster, which claimed at least 17 lives – many of them children under the age of 14.\nADDITIONAL REPORTING BY CHRANN CHAMROEUN.\nCHILDREN as young as four were among 17 people who died when an overloaded ferry capsized in Kratie province, officials said Sunday, sparking questions over the safety of public transportation in the Kingdom.It is believed at least 30 people, as well as several motorbikes, were crammed onto the 8-metre-long boat when the vessel sank along the Mekong river on Saturday night. The boat was just metres from its mooring when it tipped over, plunging passengers immediately into the fast-flowing water, one witness said.On Sunday, police undertook the grisly task of recovering the bodies. “Only 17 bodies have been found,” said Chuong Seang Hak, Kratie province’s police chief. “We are hunting for the other people.”Most of the dead were children between the ages of 4 and 14, said Seun Rath, director of Kratie province’s Department of Information.Officials could not confirm how many people were still missing Sunday night, but Seun Rath estimated that at least 10 passengers remained unaccounted for. “Some families claimed they had lost two or three members each in the incident,” he said.The villagers were crossing from Chhnei on the river’s north side to Kampong Thma on the south when the boat tipped over, said Saum Sarith, governor of Chhlaung district. The passengers had been on their way to a ceremony at a pagoda in Chhnei.“Four people managed to swim to the river bank and survived the incident,” he said. “For the other missing people, we do not know yet whether they have died already or are still alive.”An employee who was working on the boat when it sank said passengers insisted on crowding onto the tiny vessel even though it was already packed.“It was the mistake of the boat owner, but passengers were to blame, too,” said Eang Sam Ol.“We tried to prohibit them from getting on the boat because it was already full, and it was raining as well, which was dangerous, but they did not listen and kept rushing onto the boat.”The boat floated only 4 or 5 metres away from the river bank before it sank, Eang Sam Ol said.There were conflicting reports yesterday of what had become of the boat’s owner, Uch Ry. Eang Sam Ol said he saw his employer swim to shore and hide in a house in Chhnei village, but the owner’s daughter, who also survived the accident when she leaped into the water, believes he drowned. “On the riverbank, I tried to call to my father, but I couldn’t see him,” she said. “I do not know if he has died or is still alive.”Chran Chanthou said she felt bad for the victims, and that her family would try to compensate their relatives, but also blamed the passengers. “It’s not only my family’s mistake, but the passengers’,” she said. “They tried to jump into my boat. That caused the boat to sink into the river.”Saum Sarith, the district governor, said roughly 20 people were on the boat when it sank. But Chran Chanthou, who was responsible for collecting money from the passengers, said there were at least 30.It was a disaster waiting to happen, according to Thim Narin, the provincial coordinator in Kratie for human rights NGO Adhoc. Many boat owners who operate ferry services in Cambodia tend to overload their vessels, eager for the extra fares, she said.“It is their responsibility,” Thim Narin said. “Most travellers are poor and forget to think about their safety.” Thim Narin said it was essential that authorities prosecute the boat’s owner if he is still alive.“Overloading the boat is a wrong action,” she said. “The boat owner must be responsible for this in front of the law and the victims’ families.”", "url": "http://www.phnompenhpost.com/index.php/2009101228880/National-news/seventeen-go-down-with-ferry.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20091014044246/http://www.phnompenhpost.com/index.php/2009101228880/National-news/seventeen-go-down-with-ferry.html" } ]

Hamilton came home fifth behind BMW's Nick Heidfeld after a late puncture.\nWhatever chance Hamilton had of victory - and it was always a slim one given the pace of the Ferraris - disappeared when his MP4-22’s right-front Bridgestone tyre failed on the 43rd lap.\nThe F2007s of Massa and Raikkonen had run ahead of him all the way (barring the first pit stops), and had just made their last ones (lap 41 for the Finn, lap 42 for the Brazilian) when bad luck struck the Englishman.\nHe was very fortunate to be able to limp back to the pits for his final set of tyres - the medium (softer) compound for the first time - and resumed fifth. Crucially, however, Alonso had swept by to take third place, with Heidfeld fourth.\nThe result moves Massa to third place overall again in the driver standings with 69 points, one ahead of Raikkonen, but now Alonso is back within five points of Hamilton, 79 to 84.\nUntil that moment of drama it was a relatively quiet race, especially since only Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Spyker’s Adrian Sutil retired, on laps nine and 55 respectively.\nMassa led throughout, while Raikkonen beat Hamilton off the line and hunted his team mate down just before their second stops, but could not mount a real challenge. Thereafter they toured home, just as Alonso toured round in third well ahead of Heidfeld after initially dropping behind both BMWs at the start.\nRaikkonen amused himself by dropping 7.4s back on lap 56 before setting the fastest lap of the race - 1m 27.295s - on lap 57. By the flag he was 2.2s adrift of Massa, with Alonso a further 23.9s behind.\nAfter Heidfeld and Hamilton, another strong drive from Heikki Kovalainen reaped sixth place for Renault. With Hamilton nursing a damaged front wing following his puncture, the Finn could sense fifth, but in the end crossed the line a second adrift of the McLaren. Behind them Nico Rosberg put in a great performance to keep his Williams just ahead of Robert Kubica’s BMW Sauber for the final points.\nGiancarlo Fisichella was ninth from David Coulthard in the Red Bull and Alex Wurz in the Williams, and behind them Toyota and Honda staged a spirited battle over 12th that fell eventually to a lapped Ralf Schumacher from Jenson Button and Super Aguri’s Anthony Davidson.\nTonio Liuzzi made a brilliant start and drove a stormer to hold off Davidson until the second stops, and by the flag kept Jarno Trulli’s Toyota in his Toro Rosso’s mirrors as he took 15th. Trulli had a miserable afternoon from the start, when he was tipped into a spin at Turn One, dropping him from ninth on the grid to 21st on lap one.\nRubens Barrichello was an unhappy 17th from Takuma Sato’s Super Aguri, with a lacklustre-looking Sebastian Vettel struggling initially to stay ahead of Sutil’s Spyker. He finished ahead of it after his fellow German lost a lot of time during his first pit stop before stopping with three laps to go, but by the flag the only running car behind him was Sakon Yamamoto’s Spyker.\nIn the constructors’ championship, McLaren retain their lead with148 points to Ferrari’s 137, while BMW Sauber are still a healthy third on 78.", "url": "http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/8/6676.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070828192713/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/8/6676.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "FOX Sports on MSN", "text": "ESTAMBUL, Turquía - El brasileño Felipe Massa encabezó un 'doblete' de Ferrari al anotarse, por delante de su compañero finlandés Kimi Raikkonen, el triunfo en el Gran Premio de Turquía, el número cien del español Fernando Alonso, que lo festejó en el podio y recortando dos puntos a su compañero Lewis Hamilton. El inglés de McLaren, líder del Mundial sufrió un pinchazo en la entrada de la novena curva, a falta de 16 vueltas para el final y se conformó con el quinto puesto. Se le rompió la carcasa del neumático delantero derecho en una frenada y perdió dos puestos que no pudo recuperar, aunque aún tuvo suerte en su contratiempo, que, de haber sucedido en la curva anterior, en la espectacular número 8, pudo haberle causado consecuencias mucho peores. Los Ferrari confirmaron su dominio en Turquía, que ya evidenciaron tanto el viernes como el sábado; y firmaron un doblete que les resucita en ambos campeonatos. En el de pilotos, en estos momentos, y a falta de las últimas cinco carreras, Hamilton lidera el Mundial más reñido de los últimos años con 84 puntos, cinco más que Alonso, que tiene diez de ventaja sobre Massa y once respecto a Kimi. En el de constructores, más aún tras la pifia de Hungría, en la que el peor parado fue Fernando -que fue sancionado con la pérdida de cinco puestos en la parrilla-, los de Maranello se han colocado a once puntos de los de Woking. El paulista vive una auténtica historia de amor con Estambul. El año pasado firmó en el moderno circuito diseñado por Hermann Tilke su primera 'pole' y su primer triunfo, en un fin de semana que, según él mismo explicó, cambió \"por completo\" su carrera. Esta vez repitió proeza. El sábado contabilizó la octava 'pole' de su carrera y hoy se anotó la quinta victoria desde que compite en Fórmula Uno, al dominar prácticamente de principio a fin una carrera en la que sólo cedió momentáneamente el liderato en sus 'pit stops'. En el Istanbul Park se confirmó que los McLaren tienen problemas en la salida y, mientras Kimi -que arrancó segundo- dio cuenta de Hamilton, Alonso -cuarto en la parrilla- fue superado por los dos pilotos de BMW, el polaco Robert Kubica y el alemán Nick Heidfeld. Los Ferrari no tuvieron problemas en afirmarse en los dos primeros puestos y Fernando, según se iban calentando sus neumáticos, se iba echando encima de un Heidfeld que impidió su progresión en las primeras dieciocho vueltas. El primero en parar fue Kubica, después de la once. Seis más adelante lo hizo su compañero de Moenchengladbach. El doble campeón mundial paró una vuelta después (9,1 segundos), tras la 18, al igual que Kimi; y entró en pista por delante de Heidfeld, confirmando el cuarto puesto virtual: en esos momentos era sexto en pista. Los Renault fueron los que más tardaron en parar y eso permitió que el finés Heikki Kovalainen -sexto al final- liderara una vuelta. Tras la entrada del italiano Giancarlo Fisichella, en la 22, la clasificación se reorganizó con los Ferrari de Massa y Raikkonen delante de los McLaren de Hamilton -más próximo- y Alonso -a quince segundos- en tercera y cuarta posición. A partir de ahí, los cuatro primeros del Mundial parecía que se jugarían las primeras cuatro plazas, con clara desventaja para el de Oviedo, que había perdido demasiado tiempo detrás de Heidfeld. Pasado el ecuador de la carrera, hubo momentos en los que Kimi rodaba más rápido que Massa y le apretaba. Pero el finés paró tras la 41 y el paulista lo hizo una después, saliendo de boxes por delante y asegurándose de esta forma la victoria. Raikkonen se conformaría con firmar la vuelta rápida, la penúltima. Justo después, a falta de dieciséis, se produjo el incidente de Hamilton, que reventó su neumático delantero derecho, pero evitó un estrepitoso accidente. Logró llegar a su garaje, saldándose el contratiempo con la pérdida de dos posiciones. Lewis se enfadará con Bridgestone, pero en esta acción la suerte se volvió a aliar con él. A falta de diez vueltas, Massa le llevaba 3,4 segundos a Kimi, con Alonso a 22,4; y Hamilton por detrás de Heidfeld, al que ya no pudo superar y que acabó cuarto. Kovalainen apretó en los últimos giros, pero no lo suficiente, y se conformó con el sexto. Los Ferrari fueron superiores y el viento también les echó una mano que tampoco les hubiera hecho falta. Alonso subió a un podio que no esperaba ni loco en la segunda vuelta y que le hizo festejar con alegría su centenario tras una carrera que no recordará durante toda su vida, como él mismo indicó. La victoria de Massa fue su tercera de una temporada en la que los cuatro implicados en la lucha por el título se reparten de forma equitativa los doce triunfos, a falta de cinco carreras. El periplo europeo se cerrará con las dos de Monza (Italia), el 9 de septiembre; y Spa (Bélgica), el 16. Después se disputarán los Grandes Premios de Japón -en el Monte Fuji-, el 30 de septiembre, y China, siete días después, en Shangai; antes de la clausura, el 21 de octubre en Sao Paulo (Brasil), donde el genial piloto asturiano festejó la consecución de sus dos títulos mundiales. Fernando sale de Estambul con sus aspiraciones intactas de conseguir su tercera corona en la categoría máxima del gran motor. Pero piensa que el Mundial lo puede ganar cualquiera de los cuatro primeros y, según dijo a Efe, posiblemente lo hará \"el que más suerte tenga\".

Der junge Mann sitzt am Tisch im Balver Lüll und fühlt sich nicht wohl in seiner Haut. Presse? Lieber nicht. Er blickt zu Boden, möchte keinen großen Rummel um seine Person. ...\nViele Balver haben zusammengelegt, um die Spendenaktion von Elmar Kleine (rechts) für Jan zu unterstützen. Nun stehen 10.000 Euro zur Verfügung, um dem jungen Mann den Weg ins neue Leben zu erleichtern.Foto:Stefan Scherer Foto: WP\n... Heute kommt er aber um ein Foto nicht herum, dafür hat seine Mutter gesorgt.\nJan Terler hat in den vergangenen Monaten ohne eigenes Zutun eine Bekanntheit weit über die Balver Stadtgrenzen hinaus erreicht. Sein Schicksal machte unter der Abkürzung seines Namens als Jan T. Schlagzeilen und erschütterte die Menschen bis ins Mark. Während der Fußball-Europameisterschaft war der damals 19-Jährige von einem Balver vor ein Auto gestoßen worden, lag lange im Koma, ist querschnittsgelähmt.\nViele Balver solidarisierten sich mit der Familie, auf die hohe finanzielle Belastungen zukommen. Drostenwirt Elmar Kleine initiierte eine Spendenaktion. Fortan sammelten viele Geschäftsleute Spenden, und von etlichen Veranstaltungen flossen Teile des Gewinns auf die beiden Spendenkonten. Selbst Kinder zogen mit Spendenbüchsen von Haustür zu Haustür.\nSchnell fit werden Derweil kämpfte sich Jan Terler in der Bochumer Bergmannsheil-Klinik zurück ins Leben. Seine Mutter Manuela erinnert sich: \"Jan war so frustriert darüber, mindestens drei Monate im Krankenhaus verbringen zu müssen, dass er alles daran setzte, so schnell wie möglich wieder fit zu werden.\"\nDer junge Balver feierte seinen 20. Geburtstag Ende Juli in der Klinik Bergmannsheil mit zwei Zimmernachbarn, die vom Hals abwärts gelähmt sind und deren Schicksal von diversen Fernsehsendern und Zeitungen begleitet wurden. War die Presse im Zimmer, war Jans Bett allerdings leer. Er wollte mit seiner Geschichte nicht in die Öffentlichkeit. Er half den beiden Jugendlichen lieber, wieder eine positivere Sicht der Dinge zu erlangen, hat ihnen etwas von seinem Lebensmut abgegeben und daneben stetig und hart für seine eigene Entlassung aus der Klinik gearbeitet.\nAm Freitag ist er nach Balve zurückgekehrt und mit seinem Bruder in die ehemalige Hausmeisterwohnung der Hauptschule eingezogen. Um sie zu bekommen, hat die Familie viele Nerven gelassen. \"In Balve war das Angebot an Wohnungen für Rollstuhlfahrer sehr begrenzt. Zudem ist sie normalerweise für den Hausmeister reserviert\", sagt seine Mutter. Die Balver und Bürgermeister Hubertus Mühling setzten sich dafür ein, dass die Schulbehörde ihr OK für den Einzug gab.\nGeld für Renovierung Im Oktober wird auch Jans Mutter Manuela in die Wohnung einziehen, die Freunde, Bekannte und Verwandte unter großer Mithilfe des Festspielvereins renovierten. Ende Oktober soll schließlich die Küche geliefert werden. Bis dahin muss improvisiert werden, aber auch das ist durch das große Engagement der Balver kein Problem.\nWährend darüber gesprochen wird, hört Jan lediglich zu. Dann steht Drostenwirt Elmar Kleine hinter dem 20-Jährigen und holt einen großen Scheck hervor, den er Jan überreicht. Ungläubig schaut dieser sich die Zahl an: 10.000 Euro sind durch die Spendenaktion zusammengekommen. \"Danke\", sagt Jan und ist etwas perplex. \"Dankeschön. Ich weiß gar nicht, was ich sagen soll.\" Er schaut fragend zu seiner Mutter. Die springt für ihn in die Bresche und kann ihre Rührung nur schwer unterdrücken: \"Es ist so unfassbar toll, wie viel Mitgefühl wir von den Menschen erfahren haben, wie viele uns auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise, oft auch ganz spontan, geholfen haben. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an die Balver und die vielen Auswärtigen, die uns in dieser schweren Zeit halfen.\"\nDie Familie wird von diesem Geld vor allem die Renovierungsarbeiten und die neuen Möbel für Jan bezahlen. Die Rechnungen gehen an Elmar Kleine, der sie von den beiden Spendenkonten bezahlt. \"Die Aktion läuft allerdings weiter\", sagt der Drostenwirt. Auf die Konten der Sparkasse (Blz.: 45851020, Kto.: 90607094) und der Volksbank (Blz.: 44761534, Kto.: 1503735908) kann weiterhin gespendet werden. Noch ist längst nicht alles angeschafft, was notwendig ist. So benötigt Manuela Terler in absehbarer Zeit einen neuen Wagen. Der jetzige ist zu klein für die Familie und den Rollstuhl.\nAuf dem anschließenden Foto lächelt Jan das erste Mal an diesem Abend. Danach dreht sich das Gespräch um die Tatnacht und das bevorstehende Gerichtsverfahren. Jan blickt zu Boden, sinkt in sich zusammen, kämpft mit den Tränen.\nPlötzlich allerdings richtet er sich auf, sein Blick ist hellwach, in seinen Augen blitzt Begeisterung auf, als das Thema Musik auf den Tisch kommt. Jan ist begeisterter Punk-Rocker, riesiger Fan der Berliner Band \"Berserker\". \"Schlagzeuger Costa hat mich sogar im Krankenhaus besucht und mich auf die Gästeliste für das Konzert in Oberhausen gesetzt\", sagt der 20-Jährige.\nKein Schlagzeug mehr Die Liebe zur Musik hat er bis zu dem Vorfall nicht nur als Fan ausgelebt. Jan war Schlagzeuger in einer Band, ein Hobby, das er nicht mehr aufnehmen möchte, auch wenn es technisch möglich wäre. \"Dann spielst du die Bass-Drum mit dem Mund. Das ist einfach nicht dasselbe\", sagt er. \"Und auch elek-tronische Schlagzeuge sind einfach etwas anderes, als wenn du auch mit den Füßen arbeitest.\"\nIm Krankenhaus hat Jan allerdings bereits eine neue Leidenschaft entdeckt: Das Kickern. Es gibt spezielle Kicker für Rollstuhlfahrer. Einen solchen hat Manuela Terler bereits für ihren Sohn bestellt, damit er einem neuen Hobby nachgehen kann. Zudem muss Jan noch kräftig trainieren, muss Brust- und Armmuskulatur aufbauen, um sich noch besser mit dem Rollstuhl bewegen zu können. \"Und dann\", sagt er, \"blicke ich weiter nach vorne.\"\nOrt des Geschehens", "url": "http://www.derwesten.de/nachrichten/staedte/balve/2008/10/1/news-80714403/detail.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20101218225350/http://www.derwesten.de/staedte/balve/Jan-will-den-Blick-nur-nach-vorn-richten-id1392839.html" } ]

Komponist Babrak Wassa am Dirigentenpult vor dem Beethoven-Orchester beim Einspielen der neuen Nationalhymne seines Heimatlandes.\nFür den Komponisten Babrak Wassa, der 1980 nach Deutschland kam und in Rösrath lebt, ging ein großer Wunsch in Erfüllung.\nBonn / Rösrath - Voller Streichereinsatz, fulminanter Auftakt, dann Anklänge an Marschmusik mit Trommelklang: Die Aufnahme der neuen afghanischen Hymne klappt auf Anhieb - nach kaum einer Minute spielt das Beethoven-Orchester den kraftvollen Schlussakkord. Der Komponist des Musikstücks, Babrak Wassa, hat für die Einspielung am Dirigentenpult Platz genommen. Er hat nur Detail-Kritik anzubringen: Ein Tremolo wünscht er sich etwas schneller, eine andere Passage energischer. Die Musiker, die ihren Part einstudiert haben und nun erstmals gemeinsam spielen, bewältigen ihre Aufgabe scheinbar mühelos. Die Kombination von europäischer Musiktradition und afghanischen Volkslied-Elementen gelingt. „Das ist für unsere Stimme nicht ungewöhnlich“, sagt Cellist Markus Fassbender zu den vor ihm liegenden Noten.\nFür Wassa, der im Jahr 1980 aus seiner Heimat Afghanistan ins deutsche Exil ging, erfüllt sich mit der Musikaufnahme in der Bonner Beethovenhalle ein großer Wunsch. Nachdem die Regierung in Afghanistans Hauptstadt Kabul seine Komposition zur Nationalhymne erklärt hatte, suchte der in Rösrath lebende Musiker die Zusammenarbeit mit einem renommierten Orchester. „Es ist für mich eine große Ehre, das Beethoven-Orchester zu dirigieren“, freut er sich. Den Kontakt zu den Musikern stellte die Deutsche Welle her, die bei der Aufnahme Regie führt. Gemeinsam mit der afghanischen Regierung trägt sie auch die Kosten der Produktion. „Das ist die Fortsetzung einer jahrhundertealten Freundschaft“, sagt Sybille Golte-Schröder von der Deutschen Welle zu der musikalischen Unterstützung beim demokratischen Neuanfang des Landes.\nAuf die Einspielung in der Beethovenhalle folgt ein zweiter Schritt: Ende April nimmt Wassa in einem Kölner Studio den Gesangs-Part auf, der mit der Instrumentalmusik abgemischt wird. Acht oder neun Sänger - und Sängerinnen - beteiligen sich an der Vokalaufnahme. „Kabul hat ausdrücklich gewünscht, dass Frauenstimmen dabei sein sollten“, erläutert Wassa. „Die Regierung setzt alles daran, dass Frauen mehr Freiheit bekommen.“ Die fertige Aufnahme der Hymne will die Deutsche Welle zunächst in Afghanistan verbreiten. Anschließend will sie die Komposition auch dem deutschen Publikum zugänglich machen - zusammen mit Wassas „Rhapsodia Afghanica“, die ebenfalls in der Beethovenhalle aufgenommen wurde. Bis es so weit ist, verweist der Sender auf seine Berichterstattung über die Einspielung mit dem Beethoven-Orchester, die samt Ton-Beispielen auch im Internet verfügbar ist.", "url": "http://www.ksta.de/html/artikel/1144673366849.shtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090413010228/http://www.ksta.de/html/artikel/1144673366849.shtml" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Afghanistans Hymne in Bonn aufgenommen", "text": "Komponiert hat die neue Hymne Babrak Wassa. Er lebt seit über zwei Jahrzehnten in Deutschland. Am Mittwoch (19.4.2006) wurde die instrumentale Fassung der Komposition von Wassa mit dem Bonner Beethoven-Orchester aufgenommen.\nFür die 70 Musiker des Bonner Beethoven-Orchesters war es keine alltägliche Aufgabe: Nicht europäische Kompositionen standen auf dem Programm, sondern afghanische: die Nationalhymne und die \"Rhapsodia Afghanica\", ein aus mehreren Volksliedern zusammengesetztes Stück.\n\"Eine große Ehre\"\nDer 57-jährige Komponist Wassa sah es gelassen, dass die Musiker seine Noten vorher nicht einstudiert hatten. Er weiß, sagt er, dass er es mit Profis zu tun hat. Als die erste Probe geglückt ist, ist der Dirigent sichtlich bewegt - Babrak Wassa kennt die Arbeit mit vielen Orchestern. Er hat zwölf Jahre lang am renommierten Tschaikowski-Konservatorium in Moskau studiert. Dennoch bezeichnet er die Arbeit mit dem Bonner Beethoven-Orchester als eine große Herausforderung: \"Das Bonner Beethoven-Orchester ist erstklassig und es ist für mich eine große Ehre, als Dirigent mit diesem Orchester zusammen zu arbeiten.\"\nDie Zusammenarbeit mit dem Beethoven-Orchester wurde durch eine Initiative der Deutschen Welle möglich. Der deutsche Auslandsrundfunk ist seit über drei Jahrzehnten in Afghanistan mit Radiosendungen und zuletzt auch mit Fernsehprogrammen präsent.\nSelbstfinanziertes Projekt\nDen größten Teil der Kosten für dieses Musikprojekt übernimmt die Regierung in Afghanistan selbst. Kabul lehnte wohlgemeinte Sponsoren-Angebote ab. Man wolle nicht, dass der Vorwurf laut werde, selbst die Nationalhymne sei vom Ausland finanziert worden.\nDer Text der Hymne handelt von Afghanistan als Heimat verschiedener Stämme. Er ist umstritten, weil nach Meinung vieler Afghanen der Text durch eine Aufzählung vieler Stämme an literarischer Kraft und Tiefe verloren hat. Zudem wird bemängelt, dass er nur auf Paschtu - neben Dari eine der beiden offiziellen Sprachen des Landes - verfasst ist.\nGeglückte Aufnahme\nWassa selbst teilt diese Kritik zum Teil auch. Doch für heute ist er einfach glücklich, dass die Aufnahmen geglückt sind.

Contents: Japan's energy supply and demand in fiscal 1998 was as follows: Final energy consumption was 15,156 PJ (petajoule = 1015J = thousand billion joules). The percentage of that consumption was 48.4% by industry, 26.4% by households, and 25.2% by transportation. The total supply of primary energy was 22,810 PJ. That was comprised of 52.4% petroleum, 16.4% coal, 12.3% natural gas, 13.7% nuclear power, 3.9% hydropower, 0.2% geothermal energy, and 1.1% new energy and other sources.

[ { "language": "es", "title": "La autopista del mosquito tigre", "text": "El mosquito tigre apenas ha necesitado una década para colonizar buena parte de la costa mediterránea española. Y lo ha hecho en paralelo a la A-7, la autopista que recorre el litoral de norte a sur, desde Barcelona, donde lo encontraron por primera vez en España, hasta Málaga. La expansión del mosquito tigre (Aedes albopictus), una especie invasora, vector de enfermedades como el dengue y el chikungunya procedente del sudeste asiático, no se explica sin la ayuda del transporte por carretera y de mercancías.\nLa ruta costera del mosquito tigre tuvo como origen Sant Cugat del Vallès, un municipio de la provincia de Barcelona al que los expertos creen que llegó en 2004 a través del transporte por carretera. No es fácil saber cómo. Aitana Oltra, ambientóloga del CSIC y coordinadora del proyecto de investigación Atrapa el tigre, cita un estudio que señala que, a pesar de que se han detectado ejemplares en neumáticos usados y centros de jardinería en las áreas colonizadas, todavía no hay pruebas que certifiquen que la especie llegó por medio de la importación de neumáticos.\n¿Qué pudo pasar? Por ejemplo, en un cargamento de neumáticos que va desde el sudeste asiático a Europa viaja una hembra que ha puesto huevos en ese agua. Agua que puede secarse, pero los huevos aguantan un tiempo hasta que se convierten en larvas, luego pupas y finalmente mosquitos y se cierra el ciclo. Si se dan las condiciones para que nazcan esos insectos (básicamente agua y una temperatura cálida), se establecen en un nuevo territorio.\n\"Ha ocurrido así en algunos casos. Cuando llueve se les acumula agua, y a los mosquitos tigre les sirve cualquier recipiente pequeño con agua estancada para criar\", explica Oltra. Y en el litoral mediterráneo español, añade, se dan una serie de factores que hacen fácil que el mosquito se disperse y se establezca: zonas muy pobladas, buen clima y gran movilidad.\nEl mosquito tigre necesita ayuda para colonizar territorios en tan poco tiempo. Un adulto a lo largo de su vida se mueve en unos 500 metros de radio desde el sitio donde nace. Es decir, entre generaciones puede haber dispersión, pero es un proceso mucho más lento. Oltra recuerda que el mosquito se encontró por primera vez en Europa en 1979, en Albania, y que también se notificó la presencia de ejemplares en un aparcamiento de camiones. Se hicieron controles y apareció cerca de un puerto desde el que llegaban cargamentos de China. La conclusión fue la misma que en España: transporte de mercancías. El transporte de bambú también ha permitido la salida de esta especie del sudeste asiático.\nSin embargo, los investigadores creen que también viajan en coches particulares. \"Transportar un adulto es algo aislado. Si es un macho, no llega a nada. Pero si transportas hembras con huevos, los pone en un sitio y nacen, ya tienes una vía de expansión. Parece que les atrae el dióxido de carbono de los coches y las zonas más sombrías\", explica Oltra. De momento, solo son especulaciones tras la observación, pero por eso están haciendo un estudio con la colaboración de los Mossos d'Esquadra: quieren poner cifras a la dispersión del insecto en vehículos. Los investigadores del CSIC aprovechan los controles de tráfico para rastrear la expansión del insecto en Cataluña. Pueden esconderse en cualquier sitio. Usan aspiradores entomológicos para atraparlos y contarlos.\nEl proyecto atrapaeltigre.com pretende investigar y controlar la expansión del mosquito tigre mediante el descubrimiento de adultos y lugares de cría. Funciona como un sistema de alerta ciudadano, señala Oltra: \"La gente nos envía fotos de posibles mosquitos tigre con una app y nosotros tenemos un equipo de expertos entomólogos que las estudia y decide. Pedimos a los ciudadanos que busquen lugares de cría cerca de sus casas porque igual los tiene en su jardín. Necesitan poca agua para criar: el plato bajo una maceta, un hueco en un árbol... También pueden reportar si han visto posibles focos de cría en la vía pública, por ejemplo en una fuente ornamental o en un imbornal o un sumidero\".\nEn Málaga, por ejemplo, uno de los últimos lugares a donde han llegado estos insectos, se descubrieron \"gracias a la participación ciudadana\", señala Oltra. Cuando les llega una alarma, comprueban si es probable que se trate de mosquito tigre y en algunos casos se desplazan para hacer controles y verificarlo in situ. En Cádiz y Huelva, por ejemplo, ha habido alertas ciudadanas, pero los muestreos no los han encontrado.\nLlama la atención que en el mapa de la expansión del mosquito tigre aparezca una mancha roja en el norte de España. \"En Irún, en Guipúzcoa, es el único lugar de esa zona donde han aparecido en muestreos. Seguramente llegaron allí por los coches. Se encontraron ejemplares en un centro comercial muy transitado cerca de la autopista de Irún\", dice Oltra.", "url": "http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2015/08/25/actualidad/1440504243_600866.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150827175829/http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2015/08/25/actualidad/1440504243_600866.html" }, { "language": "es", "title": "Imparables invasores con alas", "text": "El descubrimiento de un enorme nido de avispas asiáticas obligó a cancelar un concierto del cantante Calum en Bilbao esta semana. Últimamente todas las precauciones son pocas con una especie apodada avispa asesina—por la voracidad con la que devora a las abejas— que tiene en jaque a los apicultores y también a las autoridades de varias comunidades del norte de España, por donde se está extendiendo con rapidez. Entró desde el suroeste francés en 2004 y no ha habido forma de pararla. Junto con el mosquito tigre, que este verano ha transmitido por primera vez la fiebre chikungunya a un hombre en Gandia (Valencia), estas dos especies invasoras preocupan a los expertos: se adaptan y conquistan territorio tan rápido que parece imposible contenerlas.\n“Se trata de dos especies invasoras alóctonas, es decir, que no pertenecen a nuestra fauna, que han llegado introducidas por el hombre”, explica Eduardo Galante, catedrático de Zoología de la Universidad de Alicante. En el caso de la avispa, se cree que hembras fecundadas pudieron llegar en un contenedor de cerámica importada desde China a Francia. Los científicos también sospechan que el mosquito tigre desembarcó en Europa gracias al transporte de mercancías. Su capacidad de adaptación hizo el resto. “Cada nueva generación de individuos se adapta mejor al medio. Así funciona la evolución: se selecciona a los mejor adaptados”, dice Galante.\n“El cambio climático también influye en la expansión de estas especies”, añade el también presidente de la Asociación Española de Entomología. “Al ser más altas las temperaturas, hay especies que llegan a lugares donde antes no podían vivir”. Galante pone el ejemplo de la mariposa de los geranios, procedente de Suráfrica, que empezó a extenderse por el Mediterráneo pero “ya se encuentra en los balcones de León”. Algo así podría acabar ocurriendo con el mosquito tigre, ahora establecido en todo el litoral: “Puede llegar al centro de la Península, que es más seco y más frío, aunque tendría que atravesar zonas muy secas y áridas”.\nCómo luchar contra las plagas Los expertos tratan de luchar contra las especies invasoras pero, como asegura la Asociación Nacional de Empresas de Control de Plagas (ANECPLA), la avispa asiática es “casi imposible” de erradicar debido a una buena capacidad de adaptación que le permite colonizar nuevos espacios con gran facilidad. Para eliminarla solo sirve la destrucción de los nidos y poner trampas para atrapar a las reinas en primavera. En el caso del mosquito tigre, los ciudadanos pueden contribuir más directamente, vigilando que en sus casas no haya agua estancada, que es donde crían: macetas, fosas sépticas, motores de piscina, charquitos en el césped por el riego, etc.\nLa avispa asiática, Vespa velutina, se ha ha expandido desde Francia al País Vasco, parte de la cornisa cantábrica y por Portugal. No transmite enfermedades, pero para los apicultores, sobre todo los de las pequeñas producciones, empieza a ser una pesadilla porque está aniquilando a las abejas autóctonas. Las avispas aguardan delante de las colmenas y las abejas no se atreven a salir. A las que lo hacen, las capturan en vuelo y se las comen.\nDebido a la falta de alimento, la abeja reina deja de poner huevos, como debería hacer hasta mediados de noviembre, “y las abejas acaban muriendo” sin nuevos ejemplares que garanticen la supervivencia, explica el expresidente de los apicultores guipuzcoanos, Julian Urkiola. “Todavía hay abejas, pero en invierno mueren. La Unión Europea tiene que empezar a ayudar en la investigación. Aquí varios laboratorios están ya trabajando y el ministerio también, pero no hay ningún resultado efectivo”, lamenta Urkiola.\nSi al principio los nidos se encontraban en el litoral, ya han colonizado gran parte del interior, Bizkaia, puntos de Álava y la costa cantábrica. Los grandes productores cambian las colmenas en las épocas más comprometidas y las colocan a altitudes de mil metros para evitar su ataque. Los demás luchan como pueden. Se han encontrado nidos de un metro de diámetro. “Son cada vez más grandes, y la voracidad de sus miembros es impresionante”, describe Urkiola.\nEn Gipuzkoa se han destruido cerca de 300 nidos, y en Bizkaia el ritmo es de dos diarios. El año pasado se retiraron un total de 773 solo en Gipuzkoa, y todo parece indicar que este año las cifras serán de récord. No hay que confundir la avispa asiática, de tonos negros y amarillos, con el avispón europeo, Vespa crabro, también muy grande pero con el tórax marrón (el de la asiática es negro). Las primeras son capaces de masacrar una colmena de abejas en pocas horas.\nAl mosquito tigre (Aedes albopictus) se cree que le ha ayudado en su expansión el transporte por carretera. También las altas temperaturas de este verano. “Cuanto más altas, más se acorta el ciclo desde la puesta del huevo, a la larva hasta el adulto. Y eso quiere decir más número de mosquitos”, explica Galante, para quien estas especies han venido para quedarse. “Vamos a tener que convivir con ellas”, asegura.", "url": "http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2015/08/30/actualidad/1440960220_283196.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150902003432/http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2015/08/30/actualidad/1440960220_283196.html" } ]

Der Euro setzt seine Rekordfahrt ebenfalls fort – weil die Sorgen um die US-Immobilienkrise kaum geringer werden.\nDer Preis für US-Rohöl bewegt sich am Freitag auf Rekordniveau. Ein Barrel (159 Liter) der US-Sorte West Texas Intermediate (WTI) zur Auslieferung im November lag im frühen asiatischen Handel bei 89,54 US-Dollar und damit sieben Cent höher als zum Handelsschluss am Vortag. Zwischenzeitlich war die Notierung laut Nachrichtenagentur AP sogar auf mehr als 90 Dollar gestiegen. Bereits am späten Donnerstagabend war der WTI-Preis auf ein neues Rekordhoch von 89,78 Dollar geklettert. Damit hat der US-Ölpreis in den letzten zehn Tagen um knapp zehn Dollar zugelegt. Händler führen die anhaltende Kursrally vor allem auf die Spannungen zwischen der Türkei und kurdischen Rebellen im Nordirak zurück. Auch der weiterhin schwache Dollar treibe die Nachfrage der in der US-Währung gehandelten Ölprodukte, was die Ölpreise zusätzlich beflügele, hieß es. Allerdings verweisen Analysten seit längerem auf spekulative Übertreibungen am Ölmarkt. Das derzeitige Preisniveau sei trotz einer engen Angebots-Nachfrage-Situation nicht gerechtfertigt und deutlich zu hoch. Merkliche Abwärtskorrekturen beim Ölpreis seien daher nicht auszuschließen.

With the additional speed it likely will contribute a bit more than this over the next decade,\" said Ian Joughin.\nAs the Arctic region warms, Greenland glaciers have been thinning and calving (releasing) icebergs further and further inland. This means that, even though the glacier is flowing towards the coast and carrying more ice into the ocean, its calving front is actually retreating.\nIn 2012 and 2013, the front retreated more than a kilometre further inland than in previous summers, the scientists report in their study.\nThe researchers believe Jakobshavn is in an unstable state, meaning it will continue to retreat further inland in the future.\nBy the end of this century, its calving front could retreat as far back as the head of the fjord through which the glacier flows, about 50km upstream from where it is today.\nPaul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter", "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26032188", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20140204181534/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26032188" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Rapid Arctic melting is only partly our fault", "text": "The rapid warming and melting of the Arctic is only half our fault. While our greenhouse gas emissions are clearly a factor, the record melts of the past few decades are partly the result of huge waves of warm air emanating from the Pacific Ocean.\nThe same region of the Pacific seems to be behind both the Arctic warming and the global warming \"hiatus\" of the last decade. That means we could be in for something unexpected: when global warming speeds up again, the melting of the Arctic might slow down, because both are partly controlled by the Pacific. If there is still some summer ice left when that happens, the Arctic could go another decade without a complete melt.\nQinghua Ding of the University of Washington in Seattle and his colleagues reanalysed temperature data from 1979 to 2012. They found the Arctic warming was strongest in Greenland and north-east Canada. Also, the warming is not limited to the surface but extends several kilometres up. It's unlikely that an increase in surface temperature could cause that.\nDing suspected the explanation lay in the tropical Pacific, where the surface waters have been unusually cool. That means there is less evaporation and less hot air rising, which in turn changes the pattern of wind and rain over the Pacific.\nHis team used climate models to simulate these changes, and found that they drove waves of high-altitude warm air into the Arctic. In effect, the cool surface waters in the Pacific have been warming Greenland, especially since the late 1990s.\nControlling ocean\nThe results suggest that half the warming in the Arctic is down to greenhouse gases, but the rest – most of the rapid warming – is a result of odd but seemingly natural changes in the Pacific. In theory the shifts in the Pacific might be the result of global warming, in which case we are still on the hook for the Arctic melt, but Ding and other experts contacted by New Scientist say this is unlikely.\nDespite ever-growing greenhouse gas emissions, global warming has slowed down over the last decade, probably as a result of the climate's natural variability. Yet the Arctic sea ice hit record lows in 2007 and 2012. \"It was a paradox,\" says Wenju Cai of the CSIRO, Australia's national research agency, in Melbourne. \"If you see global warming slowing down, then why does the Arctic ice keep decreasing?\"\nCai recently found evidence that the hiatus was largely caused by temperature changes in the Pacific. Warm water has sunk, leaving cool water on the surface. Now it seems these same changes are also warming the Arctic. \"The seeming paradox is explained by the same thing,\" Cai says.\nAssuming Ding is right, the Arctic could soon get a reprieve. The cooling of the tropical Pacific is part of a cycle called the Pacific decadal oscillation, and will probably reverse within the next 15 years. That will speed up global warming, but slow the warming of the Arctic.\nHowever, in the long run our greenhouse gas emissions will swamp these natural variations and the Arctic will continue melting, says Jürgen Bader of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany.\nJournal reference: Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature13260\nIf you would like to reuse any content from New Scientist, either in print or online, please contact the syndication department first for permission.

Still, Fostervold said it would take until the mid-2020s at the earliest to develop any big fields.\nNorway estimates the Barents Sea, a vast area where Statoil already runs the Snoehvit gas field, contains 3.8 billion barrels of oil and 1.06 trillion cubic metres of gas.\nNORTHERN LIMIT\nUnder rules set by Norway's parliament for the oil industry's northern limit, drilling will not be allowed in areas less than 50 kms (31 miles) from the edge of any sea ice.\nArctic sea ice shrank to the smallest on record in the summer of 2012, a trend linked by a U.N. panel of experts to greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.\nThe Barents Sea, also kept warm by the tail of the Gulf Stream, is exceptionally accessible to be part of the Arctic. Winter ice grips seas off Greenland and north of Alaska, Canada and Russia and is discouraging interest in most nations.\n\"Apart from Russia, there is more caution about the Arctic,\" said Heather Conley of the U.S. Center for Strategic and International Studies, saying that high costs and the U.S. shale gas boom have also dimmed interest.\nRussian President Vladimir Putin said last month that Russia should step up its presence in the Arctic.\nRussia loaded its first crude tanker from the ice-resistant Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora Sea last month. Exxon Mobil is cooperating with Rosneft to drill in the Kara Sea north of Russia this year.\nThe Norwegian Arctic is an attractive testing ground for subsea equipment makers - installations on the surface require expensive technology to cope with Arctic cold.\n\"The water doesn't freeze at the seabed. The reservoir conditions have more of an impact than the above surface temperatures,\" said Knut Røsjorde, head of subsea operations in Norway for Aker Solutions.\nNorway's northwards push to remote waters will strain a demand that oil firms must be able to start drilling a relief well, the standard way of ending a blowout, within 12 days.\nOfficials say the deadline can be met in Arctic areas if oil firms cooperate, for instance ensuring that two rigs drilling in nearby blocks will help out if one suffers a blowout.\nElsewhere, there are also uncertainties about the rules.\nIn Canada, for instance, Chevron and Exxon Mobil Corp's majority-owned Imperial Oil wrote this month to urge safety authorities to revise a demand for oil companies to be able to drill a relief well in the same season - before ice and winter darkness close in.\n\"A same season relief well is not feasible in the Arctic because of the short drilling season,\" Exxon spokesman Patrick McGinn said of areas where seas freeze. Well design, equipment and staff could give similar and sometimes better protection.\nBut Marilyn Heiman, Arctic director of the U.S.-based Pew Charitable Trusts, said a same season relief well should be part of all safety planning in the Arctic. That also means that any drilling needs to finish long before ice re-freezes.

Günthner hatte einen Vorstoß zur Überprüfung der Umweltzone angekündigt.\n„Er geht bei den Autofahrern auf Stimmenfang“, meinte Wietschorke. Denn: „Wer das fordert, muss sagen, wie ohne Umweltzone die Schadstoffgrenzwerte in Bremen für Feinstaub und Stickstoffdioxid eingehalten werden sollen.“ Die Umweltzone war eingerichtet worden, weil eben Grenzwerte überschritten wurden, Bremen drohte ein Vertragsverletzungsverfahren seitens der EU.

Ein einziges Partikel mit 8 Mikrometer Durchmesser wiege beispielsweise genauso so viel wie 512 Millionen ultrafeine hochgiftige Partikel mit 0,01 Mikrometern aus dem Dieselmotor, werde aber messtechnisch gleich bewertet.

Möllenstädt hält diese Zweifel für vorgeschoben: „Der Wirtschaftssenator hätte sich von Anfang an gegen die bürokratische und gerade fürs Handwerk schädliche Verbotszone einsetzen müssen.\"\nAm 10. Mai wird die Bürgerschaft über einen entsprechenden CDU-Antrag abstimmen, auf die dritte Stufe der Umweltzone zu verzichten. Umweltsenator Reinhard Loske (Grüne) gibt sich gelassen und verweist auf ständige Überprüfungen der Zone.CDU-Spitzenkandidatin Rita Mohr-Lüllmann verlangt dagegen, schon vor Einführung der dritten Stufe (nur Fahrzeuge mit grüner Plakette dürfen in die Innenstadt) die Wirksamkeit der Maßnahme zu überprüfen. In der Günthner-Aussage (\"Wenn sie - die Umweltzone, d.Red. - keine Effekte hat, kann man sie lassen.\") vermutet sie ein \"Beruhigungsmanöver vor der Wahl. Ich bin gespannt, ob er sich gegen Loske durchsetzt\".\nDer Umweltsenator sieht in der Umweltzone ein wichtiges Instrument zur Luftreinhaltung, um die seit 2005 europaweit geltenden Grenzwerte für Feinstaub einhalten zu können. Nach seiner Einschätzung ist die Feinstaubbelastung im Durchschnitt der Messwerte auch tatsächlich reduziert worden. Von der dritten Stufe ab 1. Juli erhofft er sich die größte Wirksamkeit. Ein gutes halbes Jahr danach könnten die ständig erhobenen Daten der Messstationen ausgewertet werden. Solange will die CDU nicht warten. In ihrem Antrag für die Stadtbürgerschaft fordert sie bis Ende Juni einen Bericht zu Auswirkungen und Kosten der Umweltzone. \"Wenn sie keinen Effekt hat, muss sie abgeschafft werden.\" In ihrem Forderungskatalog steht auch die Verlängerung von Ausnahmeregelungen. Dazu zählen die Erreichbarkeit der Parkhäuser über bestimmte Straßenrouten (30.Juni 2011) und Regelungen für Reisebusse (Ende 2011).\nDie Handelskammer sieht sich durch die Günthner-Worte in ihrem Widerstand gegen die Umweltzone bestätigt. Martha Pohl, zuständig für Umweltpolitik, hofft, dass diese Fahrbeschränkung nun \"tatsächlich auf den Prüfstand kommt\". Sie sei \"nicht effizient und ein bürokratisches Monster\". Der Verkehr habe nur einen relativ kleinen Anteil an der Feinstaubbelastung. Baustellen, Hausbrand und Wetterlagen spielten ebenso eine Rolle. \"Die Umweltzone ist abschreckend, auch für die gewerbliche Industrie.\"\nDer Einzelhandel zeigt sich ebenfalls skeptisch. Die Umweltzone könne den Standort Bremen in Schwierigkeiten bringen, sagte Norbert Caesar, Vorsitzender des Einzelhandelsverbands Nordsee Bremen. Bisher habe allerdings nicht sie dem Einzelhandel geschadet, sondern die Diskussion darüber. Caesar plädiert für die Überprüfung der Messdaten: \"Wenn die Umweltzone etwas bringt, wäre sie akzeptabel. Wenn nicht, wäre der Aufwand zu hoch, sie weiter zu führen.\"\nDas ist auch die politische Linie der SPD. Fraktionschef Björn Tschöpe versteht die Umweltzone nicht als Selbstzweck, sondern als Instrument zur Verringerung der Feinstaubbelastung. Ist sie wirkungslos, sei sie rechtlich nicht zu halten. Bremen stehe hier wie andere Städte vor dem Problem, die Feinstaubbelastung zu reduzieren. Bei der Überprüfung der Messdaten in der Umweltzone müsse gefragt werden: Könnten weitere Instrumente die Umweltzone ergänzen oder sollte sie abgeschafft werden? \"Die Linke\" findet es dagegen völlig falsch, an der Umweltzone zu rütteln.\nEbenso wie die Umweltschutzorganisation BUND. Georg Wietschoke, stellvertretender Geschäftsführer des Bremer Ablegers, sagt, Studien zur Berliner Umweltzone hätten eine Reduzierung des Kfz-bedingten Feinstaubs um 60 Prozent ergeben. Rein rechnerisch habe es Berlin 170 Todesfälle erspart. Von der Umweltzone seien weniger Pkws betroffen, auf denen ohnehin schon zu 95 Prozent Plaketten für die freie Fahrt klebten. Entscheidend seien Nutzfahrzeuge, für die ein Druck zur Umrüstung wichtig sei. \"Schafft man die Umweltzone ab, wäre es ein Tritt vors Schienbein jener Firmen, die sich bereits neue Fahrzeuge angeschafft haben.\"", "url": "http://www.weser-kurier.de/Artikel/Bremen/Politik/366970/Guenthner-entfacht-neue-Debatte-ueber-Umweltzone.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160401162032/http://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/bremen-politik-wirtschaft_artikel,-FDP-fordert-Abschaffung-der-Bremer-Umweltzone-_arid,232425.html" } ]

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Der Sternhimmel im März: Der Vollmond schiebt sich in den Schatten", "text": "01. März 2007\nDas wohl spektakulärste astronomische Ereignis des Jahres findet gleich zu Beginn des Monats statt. In den späten Abendstunden des 3. März gegen 22.30 Uhr beginnt sich der Vollmond in den Kernschattenkegel der Erde zu schieben. Zwischen 23.44 Uhr und 0.58 Uhr ist unser Erdtrabant dann vollständig im Erdschatten verschwunden, die Mondfinsternis ist total. Trotzdem wird der Mond noch als blasse rötlich-braune Scheibe zu erkennen sein, da ein geringer Anteil des Sonnenlichts durch die Brechung in der Erdatmosphäre in den Erdschattenkegel gelenkt wird und dadurch die Mondscheibe noch etwas Restlicht erhält. Nach dem Ende der totalen Verfinsterung braucht der Mond dann noch 1 Stunde 14 Minuten, bis er schließlich um 2.12 Uhr ganz aus dem Erdschatten getreten ist.\nDie Halbschattenphase, in der die Sonne, vom Mond aus gesehen, nur teilweise von der Erde verdeckt wird, kann nur jeweils etwa eine halbe Stunde lang vor dem Eintritt und nach dem Austritt des Mondes aus dem Kernschatten als leichte Abschwächung und Verfärbung des Mondlichts wahrgenommen werden. Wenn die Wetterverhältnisse eine Beobachtung dieser Finsternis nicht zulassen, dauert es bis zur nächsten totalen Mondfinsternis ein knappes Jahr, nämlich bis zum 21. Februar 2008.\nMond bedeckt den Saturn\nAm 19. März ereignet sich eine partielle Sonnenfinsternis, welche in nahezu ganz Asien sowie in Teilen von Alaska und des Nordpolarmeers beobachtet werden kann. Während totale Sonnenfinsternisse auch heute noch großes wissenschaftliches Interesse finden, ist das bei Mondfinsternissen nicht mehr der Fall. Das war zur Zeit der großen Entdeckungsreisen im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert anders. Eine Mondfinsternis, die in einem großen Teil der Welt gleichzeitig beobachtet werden kann, bot die Möglichkeit, aus den Differenzen der Beobachtungszeiten an verschiedenen Orten die Unterschiede ihrer geographischen Länge zu bestimmen. Ein weiteres Himmelsschauspiel ereignet sich am 2. März. Um 3.38 Uhr bedeckt der Mond den Planeten Saturn. 33 Minuten später, gegen 4.11 Uhr, tritt der Ringplanet wieder hinter dem beleuchteten Mondrand hervor.\nRasch nimmt die Mittagshöhe der Sonne im März von 32 1/2 Grad auf 44 Grad zu, was sich in einer Ausweitung der Tageslänge um fast zwei Stunden, von 10 Stunden 57 Minuten auf 12 Stunden 49 Minuten, niederschlägt. Die Sonne passiert am 21. März um 1.07 Uhr den Frühlingspunkt, einen der beiden Schnittpunkte zwischen Himmelsäquator und Ekliptik. Dann steht unser Tagesgestirn bis zum 23. September auf dem nördlichen Teil der Himmelskugel.\nLuchs verdrängt Fuhrmann\nObwohl noch immer die hellen Wintersternbilder um den Himmelsjäger Orion das südwestliche Himmelsareal dominieren, nimmt der Winter nun seinen Abschied. Zwar stehen alle Bilder des Winters noch über der Horizontlinie, der vorausgehende Stier hat jedoch mit seinen westlichsten Sternen schon fast Horizontberührung. Auch der Orion neigt sich bereits dem Westhorizont entgegen, genauso wie der diesem südlich folgende Große Hund, dessen Hauptstern Sirius alle anderen Fixsterne an Helligkeit übertrifft. Der Fuhrmann hat zwar seine Position im Zenit verlassen, die jetzt das unscheinbare Sternbild Luchs einnimmt, hält sich jedoch genau wie die Zwillinge und der Kleine Hund noch recht hoch auf.\nBei besten Sichtverhältnissen kann man tief im Süden einige Sterne der Konstellationen Achterdeck und Kompass erspähen. Sie sind Teil des Sternbilds Schiff Argo, das in drei Teile aufgeteilt ist: Schiffskiel, Achterdeck und Segel; in unseren Breiten steigen aber nur die Sterne des Achterdecks über die Horizontlinie. Das Bild Kompass wurde erst 1752 durch Lacaille hinzugefügt.\nDem Löwen folgt die Jungfrau\nIn der höheren südlichen Himmelsregion ist das Tierkreisbild Krebs wegen der Lichtschwäche seiner Sterne nur bei guten Sichtbedingungen zu entdecken. Es enthält mit Praesepe (M44) einen hellen, offenen Sternhaufen, der mit bloßem Auge als kleines Nebelwölkchen auch am Großstadthimmel zu erkennen ist. Der Krebs leitet von den Wintersternbildern zu den Bildern des Frühlings hinüber, wo das Doppeltrapez des Löwen die Blicke auf sich zieht. Sein Hauptstern Regulus steht nahezu exakt auf der Ekliptik, der scheinbaren Sonnenbahn. Da auch der Mond in der Nähe der Ekliptik seine Bahn um die Erde zieht, wird Regulus immer wieder von unserem Erdtrabanten bedeckt, so auch in den Morgenstunden des 30. März. In Frankfurt schiebt sich der nahezu volle Mond um 5.30 Uhr vor Regulus.\nAllerdings ist diese Bedeckung nur schwer zu beobachten, da Mond und Regulus kurz vor ihrem Untergang und damit horizontnah stehen. Dem Löwen folgt im Tierkreis die Jungfrau mit dem hellen Hauptstern Spika nach. Ein weiteres Frühlingssternbild ist der Bootes mit dem orange-rötlich leuchtenden Arkturus, der nordöstlich der Jungfrau zu finden ist. Der mit seinem vorausgehenden Wagenkasten schon in die zenitnahe Himmelszone aufgestiegene Große Wagen weist mit seiner gebogenen Deichsel Richtung Arkturus.\nVenus bietet spektakulären Anblick\nDer Blick an den Untergangshimmel im Nordwesten zeigt, dass sich noch letzte Relikte der Herbststernbilder Andromeda und Widder über der Horizontlinie befinden. Sie können sich aber nur noch mühsam gegen den Horizontdunst durchsetzen, wie auch im Norden die Zirkumpolarbilder Kassiopeia und Kepheus. Am Abendhimmel bietet die Venus jetzt einen spektakulären Anblick. Das hellste aller Gestirne nach dem Mond geht Ende des Monats erst nach 23 Uhr Sommerzeit unter. Damit dehnt der Abendstern seine Sichtbarkeitsdauer im Monatsverlauf um fast eine Stunde auf über drei Stunden aus. In den frühen Abendstunden des 21. März hält sich die zunehmende Mondsichel in Venusnähe auf.\nEin Objekt fast der gesamten Nacht ist Saturn. Der äußerst langsam in westlicher Richtung durch das Tierkreisbild Löwe ziehende Ringplanet steht außer in den Morgenstunden des 2. März, wenn er vom Mond bedeckt wird, auch am Morgen des 29. März gegen 5 Uhr in unmittelbarer Nähe des Mondes. Die Sichtbarkeit des Jupiter bleibt auf die zweite Nachthälfte beschränkt, obwohl er seine Aufgangszeiten um 1 3/4 Stunden im Monatsverlauf Richtung Mitternacht verlagert. Die übrigen Wandelsterne Merkur, Mars, Uranus und Neptun halten sich in Sonnennähe auf. Sie fallen als Beobachtungsobjekte aus.\nSonne: 1. März Sonnenaufgang: 7.09 Uhr, Sonnenuntergang: 18.06 Uhr; 31. März Sonnenaufgang: 7.05 Uhr, Sonnenuntergang: 19.54 Uhr (Sommerzeit).\nMond: 4. März, 0.17 Uhr: Vollmond; 12.

Gegen die Zentraldatei mit den Sozialdaten wollen Datenschutzaktivisten jetzt Verfassungsbeschwerde einlegen und starten einen Großangriff.\n\"Weniger Bürokratie, mehr Effizienz\", das verspricht der elektronische Entgeltnachweis \"Elena\". Seit Anfang des Jahres müssen Arbeitgeber einmal im Monat die Daten ihrer Gehaltsabteilungen mit einer staatlichen Datenbank abgleichen. Krankheitstage, Fehlzeiten, Lohn, Arbeitstage, Kinderfreibeträge, Steuernummer, Wohnort, Geburtsdatum - alles fließt in eine riesige Datei.\nDagegen wollen Bürgerrechts- und Datenschutzaktivisten vom FoeBuD (Verein zur Förderung des öffentlichen bewegten und unbewegten Datenverkehrs) und vom Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung beim Bundesverfassungsgericht Beschwerde einlegen. Sie halten die Sammlung der hochsensiblen Daten für rechtswidrig. Dabei stützen sie sich auch auf das gerade ergangene Urteil zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung, in dem die Richter der staatlichen Speicherung Schranken auferlegt haben. Nun sind die \"Elena\"-Gegner zuversichtlich, dass die Richter auch die Datensammlung Elena kippen.\nWeil das Gesetz vor einem Jahr beschlossen wurde und eine Verfassungsbeschwerde binnen Jahresfrist eingereicht werden muss, machen die \"Elena\"-Gegner jetzt Tempo. Ende März muss der Schriftsatz in Karlsruhe sein, noch bis zum 25. März sammelt der FoeBuD Unterstützer für eine Sammelbeschwerde .\nMega-Vorratsdatenspeicherung ohne Beispiel\nDas Bundesverfassungsgericht habe schließlich die Vorratsdatenspeicherung nicht nur vorläufig ausgesetzt, sondern auch eine Auflage gemacht: Wenn der Staat schon Kommunikationsdaten sammelt, darf er in anderen Bereichen nicht ähnlich weitreichende Sammlungen anlegen. Der Staat soll sich gefälligst beim Datenfischen zurückhalten. \"Elena\" aber ist eine beispiellose Sammlung und Vernetzung von Daten aller Arbeitnehmer.\nDie zentrale Speicherstelle in Würzburg (ZSS) wird schließlich rund 40 Millionen Beschäftigte überwachen. Ausgenommen davon ist niemand, auch hochbezahlte Beamte nicht, die aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach niemals Wohngeld beantragen werden. Mit dieser umfassenden Datensammlung sollen dann die Arbeitsagenturen ab 2012 per Mausklick prüfen können, ob ein Antragsteller tatsächlich ein Recht auf staatliche Unterstützung hat.\nErst nach Protesten von Gewerkschaften und Datenschützern wurde von dem Plan Abstand genommen, auch betriebliche Abmahnungen oder die Zugehörigkeit zum Betriebsrat zu erfassen. Die Arbeitgeber können aber laut Plan immer noch \"sonstige\" Informationen in eine Maske eintragen und beispielsweise den Grund für eine Kündigung nennen - oder ob ihr Angestellter schon mal bei einem Streik mitgemacht hat.\nPolizei und Finanzamt sind noch außen vor\nDie Daten werden - immerhin - verschlüsselt aufbewahrt. Der Zugriff soll nur mit dem Einverständnis des Elena-Teilnehmers möglich sein. Dazu muss sowohl ein Mitarbeiter in einer Abfragestelle, also zunächst einer Arbeitsagentur, einen Schlüssel eingeben, als auch derjenige, um dessen Daten es geht. So soll ein Missbrauch ausgeschlossen werden.\nDatenschützer finden das trotzdem bedenklich. \"Was ist, wenn ein Arbeitgeber falsche Informationen einträgt, zum Beispiel über einen Kündigungsgrund? Solange das vor einem Arbeitsgericht nicht geklärt ist, und das kann schonmal zwei Jahre dauern, stehen da dann falsche Angaben\", fürchtet Rena Tangens vom FoeBuD. Noch dramatischer sei aber, was mit Elena künftig noch alles möglich sein soll.\nDenn mit der Zeit kommen weitere Einsatzfelder des Datenpools hinzu. Ab 2015 sollen auch Kranken- und Pflegekassen, Renten- und Unfallversicherung, Sozialämter und Studentenwerke die Daten nutzen können. Polizei und Finanzamt sind noch nicht zugangsberechtigt - ein einfaches Gesetz kann das aber, wenn die Daten erst einmal versammelt sind und Begehrlichkeiten wecken, schnell ändern.\nDiesen Artikel...

Februar 2006\nDer Literaturkritiker Marcel Reich-Ranicki hat am Donnerstag abend in Frankfurt die Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Tel Aviv erhalten. Die Urkunde wurde dem gesundheitlich sichtlich angegriffenen 85jährigen im Kaisersaal des Frankfurter Rathauses, dem Römer, vom Präsidenten der israelischen Universität Itamar Rabinovich, überreicht.\nGewürdigt wurde das Lebenswerk Reich-Ranickis und dessen Einsatz für die Universität in Tel Aviv, der Partnerstadt Frankfurts. Die Laudatio hielt der frühere Bundesaußenminister Joschka Fischer, der wie Reich-Ranicki in Frankfurt einen Wohnsitz hat. Mit der Ehrung ist die Einrichtung eines nach Reich-Ranicki benannten Lehrstuhls für deutsche Literatur in Tel Aviv verbunden.\nNeuer Lehrstuhl als große Chance\nDie Ernennungsurkunde erhielt Reich-Ranicki vom Präsidenten der Universität Tel Aviv, Itamar Rabinovich (re.)\n„Ich bin beglückt”, sagte Reich-Ranicki, der an beiden Seiten gestützt die Auszeichnung entgegennahm. Der Lehrstuhl sei für beide Länder eine große Chance. Reich-Ranicki schlug vor, die Rolle der Juden in der deutschen Literatur zu untersuchen. Der Literaturkritiker war am vergangenen Samstag nach der Aufzeichnung einer Literatursendung für das Fernsehen in Hamburg mit Herzbeschwerden auf die Intensivstation einer Klinik gebracht worden. Am Montag wurde er wieder aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen. Reich-Ranicki soll Berichten zufolge ein Herzschrittmacher eingesetzt werden.\nJoschka Fischer sagte in seiner Laudatio, Reich-Ranicki habe dazu beigetragen, daß Deutschland nach „der finstersten Nacht” wieder eine Zukunft erhalten habe. Reich-Ranickis Lebenswerk sei untrennbar mit den „tiefsten Abgründen” der deutschen Geschichte verbunden.

The franchise holder said it doesn’t expect the situation to change in the short term.\n“We would have to raise our prices by 20 percent to get the margin needed on our products,” Magnus Ogmundsson, Lyst chief executive officer, said in a phone interview. “That would have sent a Big Mac to 780 kronur” ($6.36), compared with the 650 kronur it costs today, he said.\nThe island’s currency collapsed last year following the failure of Iceland’s biggest banks. Offshore, the krona slumped as much as 80 percent against the euro, while capital restrictions this year have failed to prevent an 8.1 percent decline, making the krona the second-worst performer of the 26 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.\n“Our competitors all use domestic meat and lettuce and so on, while we are flying in these materials, which is extremely expensive,” Ogmundsson said.\nBigMac Index\nThe most expensive Big Macs are sold in Switzerland and Norway, where the burger costs about $5.75, according to the Economist 2009 BigMac index. The cheapest are sold in South Africa, $1.68, and China, $1.83, the index shows.\nMcDonald’s, the world’s largest restaurant chain, opened its first store in Iceland in 1993. The first person on the island to consume a Big Mac was then Prime Minister David Oddsson, who later became governor of the central bank before his dismissal by the current ruling coalition earlier this year. The island has three McDonald’s restaurants, all of which will be closed.\nThe closure sparked a wide range of responses from bloggers on the island. Pall Vilhjalmsson said he was glad the stores were closing, calling the chain a “symbol of American colonialism” and that it has “terrorized food culture all over the world.” Hreinn Omar Smarason, said he will “miss Ronald McDonald,” adding he hopes the stores will return as soon as possible.\nIceland is relying on a $2.1 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund to stay afloat after its three biggest banks collapsed having racked up debt more than 10 times the size of the economy.

But the 20 percent increase needed to make a decent profit would have pushed that to 780 krona ($6.36), he said.\nThat would have made the Icelandic version of the burger the most expensive in the world, a title currently held jointly by Switzerland and Norway where it costs $5.75, according to The Economist magazine's 2009 Big Mac index.\nThe decision to shutter the Icelandic franchise was taken in agreement with McDonald's Inc., Ogmundsson said, after a review of several months.\nMcDonald's, the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, arrived in Reykjavik in 1993 when the country was on an upward trajectory of wealth and expansion.\nThe first person to take a bite out of a Big Mac on the island was then Prime Minister David Oddsson.

Its one and only restaurant in Barbados closed after just six months in 1996 because of slow sales.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "North Korea Calls for Better U.S. Ties", "text": "SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea called on Friday for an end to “the hostile relationship” with the United States, issuing a New Year’s message that highlighted the reclusive country’s attempt to readjust the focus of six-party nuclear disarmament talks.\nIn an editorial carried by its major state media outlets, North Korea said that its consistent stand was “to establish a lasting peace system on the Korean Peninsula and make it nuclear-free through dialogue and negotiations.” The editorial added that “the fundamental task for ensuring peace and stability” was “to put an end to the hostile relationship” with the United States.\nThe sequence of easing tension with Washington, establishing a peace regime and then denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula has been shaping up as the North’s policy approach before it re-engages in talks about giving up its nuclear weapons, according to officials and analysts in Seoul.\nThe North’s new emphasis on that policy sequence proved to be a stumbling block when President Obama’s special envoy on North Korea policy, Stephen W. Bosworth, visited the North’s capital, Pyongyang, last month to try to persuade North Korea to return to the six-nation talks about its nuclear program.\nThe six-party format began in 2003, and the talks focused mainly on dismantling North Korea’s nuclear weapons facilities. The participants are the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan. Washington and its allies have provided North Korea with food aid and other assistance while offering incentives such as security guarantees, normalized ties and a peace treaty.\nThe talks dragged on for years, but the North dismantled only some of its nuclear facilities. A missile test by North Korea in April 2009 led to a swift United Nations condemnation, whereupon the North quit the six-party talks, saying they were “useless.” The next month, North Korea conducted its second nuclear test, which led to a United Nations Security Council resolution and a further tightening of sanctions.\nNorth Korea now insists on separate, bilateral talks with the United States as a way to defuse the hostile relations. During Mr. Bosworth’s visit, North Korea acknowledged a possible role for the six-nation talks but did not say when it would resume them.\nThe 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce, not a formal peace treaty, leaving the peninsula technically in a state of war. North Korea says it has built nuclear weapons as a deterrent to an American invasion, although Washington has said it has no intention to attack.\nAlthough they recognized the need for a permanent peace treaty to replace the truce, officials in Washington and Seoul fear that the North’s demand for peace talks may be a ploy to distract the focus on ending North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs. After having accumulated enough plutonium for several bombs, North Korea declared last year that it had embarked on an uranium-enrichment program that would give it a second route to atomic weapons.\nIf peace talks begin, North Korea will likely demand normalized ties, significant food and energy aid and even the pullout of American troops from South Korea as a precondition for a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, according to analysts in Seoul.\nNorth Korea traditionally marks New Year’s Day with a joint editorial by the country’s three major newspapers representing its ruling party, the military and the youth militia. Politicians, scholars and diplomats from the outside world scrutinize the lengthy statement for clues to the regime’s policies for the coming year.\nThis year’s editorial softened the typically bellicose attacks against Washington and President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea.\n“Unshakable is our stand that we will improve the North-South relations and open the way for national reunification,” it said, calling on Mr. Lee to honor his predecessors’ agreements to send aid to North Korea.\nMr. Lee, a conservative, maintains that no significant aid is possible until he sees progress in the ending of North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.\nThe impoverished North, apparently staggered by the United Nations sanctions that were tightened in May, also stressed the need to improve the people’s standard of living by accelerating the development of light industry while calling for efforts to boost foreign trade.\n“The agricultural sector,” it added, “should sharply increase the grain output.”", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/02/world/asia/02korea.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100104220347/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/02/world/asia/02korea.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Login", "text": "Login\nEnter your details below to login\nEmail address\nPassword\nKeep me logged in information Keeps you logged in for a rolling 15 days or until you logout\nForgot your password?", "url": "http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6973147.ece", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130521122258/https://login.thetimes.co.uk/?gotoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetimes.co.uk%2Ftto%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Fasia%2F" }, { "language": "en", "title": "North Korea says wants end to hostile U.S. ties", "text": "SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea called for an end to hostile ties with the United States and an atomic-free peninsula in a New Year message that comes weeks after it indicated it could end its year-long boycott of nuclear disarmament talks.\nWorld | North Korea\nNorth Korea has made similar pledges before and analysts have cautioned it may call for separate discussions on formally establishing diplomatic ties with the United States before it agrees to resume the six-country nuclear talks.\n\"The fundamental task for ensuring peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Asia is to put an end to the hostile relationship between the DPRK (North Korea) and the USA,\" the official news agency KCNA said in a report of a joint newspaper editorial on North Korea's foreign policy stance.\n\"It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to establish a lasting peace system on the Korean peninsula and make it nuclear-free through dialogue and negotiations.\"\nThe 1950-53 Korean War ended with a ceasefire, and no formal peace treaty has ever been reached between the U.S.-led U.N. forces that fought with the South against North Korean and Chinese forces.\nU.S. President Barack Obama wrote a personal letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il this month to try to persuade Pyongyang to return to nuclear disarmament talks. It was delivered by the first official envoy his administration has sent to Pyongyang.\nThe North responded to the visit by indicating it could return to the dormant, six-way nuclear discussions with China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States.\nSANCTIONS BLOW\nDestitute and isolated North Korea a year ago stepped away from a deal in those talks to halt its nuclear program in exchange for massive aid and an end to its international ostracism.\nIt was hit with fresh U.N. sanctions for a nuclear test it conducted in May. These delivered a heavy blow to its already staggering economy, which may put pressure on it to make concessions.\nThe United States and others want North Korea at least to return to an agreement it walked away from to take apart its aging Yongbyon nuclear plant, which makes plutonium for weapons, and let international inspectors back into the country.\nNorth Korea has exploded two nuclear devices but has yet to show it has a working nuclear bomb. Experts doubt the North has the ability to miniaturize an atomic weapon to place on a missile, but it has been trying to develop such a warhead.\nNuclear weapons are seen by North Korea as the crowning achievement of leader Kim Jong-il's \"military first\" rule that have prevented a U.S. invasion. Few analysts expect that he will ever give them up.\n\"North has absolutely no interest in normalizing relations with the United States. As soon as the North does that, it loses all reason to exist,\" said B.R. Myers, an expert on the North's ideology at Dongseo University.\n\"As soon as people think it is possible to get along with America, they will ask themselves why they need a 'military first' policy.,\" Myers said in a recent interview.\nNorth Korea lays out its policy priorities in the New Year's editorials published in its official media. This year, it repeated pledges to rebuild its economy and turn the state into a \"strong and prosperous nation\".\nLeader Kim, who is often silent in the North's media, made a rare statement in which he mentioned his economic goals and a traditional Korean folk song called \"Arirang\".\n\"When the people's living standards are decisively improved, hooray for socialism and singing of Arirang of prosperity can ring out louder across the country and the gate to a prosperous nation be opened,\" Kim was quoted as saying.\n(Editing by Nick Macfie)", "url": "http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BU3J920091231", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100121164611/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BU3J920091231" } ]

He said some employees had left the building.Witnesses have reported that the man has fired multiple shots, though police have not confirmed those details.Montgomery County police, SWAT teams, and explosives experts are on the scene and have set up a perimeter of roughly 200 yards around the building. The FBI and ATF are also on the scene.A website registered to Lee criticized Discovery and announced plans for the protest in January 2008: \"These guys have been very sneaky and deceptive as to their contribution to the planetary problems. Just look at their 'new' show about saving the planet, 'Planet Green,' to me, it's just another show about more PRODUCTS to make MONEY, not about actual solutions. We can't let them get away with doing it anymore.\"After his 2008 arrest, Lee said he planned the protest because Discovery's programming had little to do with saving the planet. He was identified then as being from San Diego, Calif., although he gave a local address of a homeless shelter.At the trial, he said he began working to save the planet after being laid off from his job in San Diego. He said he was inspired by \"Ishmael,\" a novel by environmentalist Daniel Quinn and by former Vice President Al Gore's documentary \"An Inconvenient Truth.\"Laura Fountaine, a Discovery employee, toldshe was returning from her lunch break when she heard a gunman was in the building. She said there's a daycare center located on the first floor of the building.\"I came out with a lot of the nursery babies; they had like cribs of babies that they were rolling out across the street,\" said Fountaine. \"I just couldn't believe this was happening. This doesn't happen. Everybody likes Discovery.

Der langjährige Direktor des Münchener Lenbach-Hauses sollte die dringend ersehnte Objektivität in die Debatte um die Zukunft des Museums bringen, einen Blick von außen, ohne Einfluss politischer Interessensgruppen.\nDas Ergebnis umfasst wenig mehr als fünf großzügig bedruckte Din-A4-Seiten. Bemerkenswerter als der schmale Umfang aber ist in mancher Hinsicht der Inhalt der Studie und zwar insbesondere dann, wenn man ihn mit einer Vorlage vergleicht, die in der Bremer Kulturbehörde bereits für die Deputationssitzung vom 9. Dezember 2014 ausgearbeitet worden ist. Verfasser dieser Vorlagen sind die Behördenmitarbeiter Anna Greve und Andreas Mackeben. Wir zitieren Auszüge.\nFriedel: „Außerdem ist die Weserburg von der Entwicklung eingeholt worden, dass bundesweit inzwischen alle Museen für Gegenwartskunst mit Privatsammlern zusammenarbeiten.“\nGreve/Mackeben: „Das ‚Sammlermuseum‘ Weserburg ist jedoch von der Entwicklung eingeholt worden, dass bundesweit inzwischen alle Museen für Gegenwartskunst mit Privatsammlern zusammenarbeiten.“\nFriedel: „Das seit einem Jahr verfolgte Konzept ‚Junge Sammlungen‘ auszustellen, ist vor allem deshalb interessant, weil auf diesem Wege junge Kunst der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wird.“\nGreve/Mackeben: „Inwiefern das seit einem Jahr verfolgte Konzept, ‚junge Sammlungen‘ auszustellen, vor allem deshalb interessant ist, weil diese Sammlungen besonders erstklassige und junge Kunst enthalten.“\nFriedel: „Gegenwartskunst durch den subjektiven Blick eines Sammlers zu entdecken ist ein anderer Zugang zu Kunst als die klassische museologische Ordnung nach Chronologie oder Thema.“\nGreve/Mackeben: „Gegenwartskunst durch den subjektiven Blick eines Sammlers zu entdecken ist ein anderer Zugang zu Kunst als die klassische museologische Ordnung nach Chronologie oder Thema.“ (Der Kommafehler findet sich in beiden Quellen)\nFriedel: „...ihre Funktion als sozialer Ort ausbauen, an dem Gegenwartsfragen diskutiert werden.“\nGreve/Mackeben: „und das Museum als sozialen Ort zu begreifen. Die Weserburg könnte in diesem Sinne ein Forum der Diskussion von Fragen der Präsentation von Gegenwartskunst werden.“\nFriedel: „Dennoch wäre die Arbeit mit Gastkurator/innen für ein solches Labor der Gegenwartskunst, das sowohl für das lokale als auch das überregionale Publikum ebenso wie für das Fachpublikum immer wieder neu zu entdecken wäre, gründlich zu erwägen.“\nGreve/Mackeben: „Inwiefern das Arbeiten mit Gastkurator/innen sich für ein solches Labor der Gegenwartskunst anbieten würde. Auf diese Weise wäre die Weserburg sowohl für das lokale als auch das überregionale Publikum ebenso wie für das Fachpublikum immer wieder neu zu entdecken.“\nNicht allein in der Vorlage Nr. 127 für die Sitzung vom 9. Dezember 2014 finden sich bemerkenswerte Parallelen. So heißt es in der Vorlage Nr. 91 zur Sitzung vom 26. November 2013: „In den letzten zehn Jahren ist der Trend zu beobachten, dass Sammler ihre eigenen Privatmuseen [...] gründen, um ihre individuelle Sammlung auszustellen.“ In Friedels Gutachten heißt es: „Die Tendenz geht dahin, dass immer mehr private Sammler ihre eigenen Museen gründen und eigene Ausstellungen privat kuratieren lassen.“\nIn der Vorlage Nr. 74 für die Sitzung am 11. Juni 2013 steht zu lesen: „Hier ist einmaliges Material vorhanden, um den Produktionsprozess von Kunst einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln.“ Bei Friedel: „Hier ist einmaliges Material vorhanden, um den Produktionsprozess von Kunst einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln.“\nKlaus Sondergeld, Vorsitzender des Weserburg-Stiftungsrats, erklärt die auffälligen Parallelen wie folgt. Man habe dem Gutachter bewusst Fragen zukommen lassen, die sich in den Sitzungen der Kulturdeputation ergeben hätten und ihn darum gebeten, deren Beantwortung in seine Ausführungen einfließen zu lassen. Im Gutachten selbst ist von einem derartigen Auftrag allerdings keine Rede, auch ist keine der fraglichen Stellen als eine solche Antwort gekennzeichnet. Quellenangaben existieren nicht: Anna Greve und Andreas Mackeben werden im Gutachten ebenso wenig erwähnt wie die Deputation für Kultur. Auftraggeber des Gutachtens war nicht die Kulturdeputation, sondern der Stiftungsrat der Weserburg.\nSondergeld selbst gibt zu Protokoll, man habe bis auf den Auftrag, einen „inhaltlichen Impuls“ zum weiteren Umgang mit verschiedenen Bauvarianten zu geben, keine weiteren inhaltlichen Vorgaben genannt. Versuche der Einflussnahme weist der Stiftungschef weit von sich. Zum Honorar für Friedel gibt es keine Auskunft.\nAus der Weserburg kommt Schweigen. Museumschef Peter Friese will sich zu den Fundstellen ausdrücklich nicht äußern. Alles, was er zu sagen habe, sei, dass er an der Idee eines lebendigen Museums für Gegenwartskunst mit wissenschaftlichem Anspruch festhalte und die Umfunktionierung in eine „Ausstellungshalle“ oder ein „Forum“ ablehne: „Die Weserburg war ein Museum, ist ein Museum und sollte ein Museum bleiben.“\nHelmut Friedel war am Donnerstag bis Redaktionsschluss für eine Stellungnahme nicht zu erreichen.\nLesen Sie dazu den Kommentar unseres Kulturredakteurs Johannes Bruggaier: \"Bremer Ausreden\"", "url": "http://www.kreiszeitung.de/kultur/weserburg-gutachten-zwielicht-experte-friedel-woertlich-behoerdenvorlagen-abgeschrieben-4894224.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20150413001224/http://www.kreiszeitung.de/kultur/weserburg-gutachten-zwielicht-experte-friedel-woertlich-behoerdenvorlagen-abgeschrieben-4894224.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Ein Plädoyer für den Teerhof", "text": "Der Artikel wurde zur Merkliste hinzugefügt.\nDie Merkliste finden Sie oben links auf der Seite.\nBremen Ein Plädoyer für den Teerhof\nDer Münchener Kunsthistoriker Helmut Friedel plädiert in seinem Gutachten dafür, die Weserburg – Museum für moderne Kunst – an ihrem bisherigen Standort auf dem Bremer Teerhof zu belassen.

Die Entscheidung wurde heute vom Kulturreferat der Stadt München bekannt gegeben. Die Fraktionen des Stadtrates hätten sich einhellig für Mühling ausgesprochen, sagte die Pressesprecherin des Münchner Kulturreferats, Jennifer Becker, am Mittwoch der Nachrichtenagentur dpa. Der 1968 geborene Kunsthistoriker, der bereits seit 2005 als Sammlungsleiter und Kurator für Gegenwartskunst am Lenbachhaus beschäftigt ist, galt bereits als Favorit für die Nachfolge von Direktor Helmut Friedel. „Ich freue mich sehr über die Entscheidung“, sagte Mühling: „Aber erst einmal steht nach der Generalsanierung die Neueröffnung des Lenbachhauses im Mai 2013 auf dem Programm, an der wir mit Hochdruck arbeiten.“ Mühling lehrt auch an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste und an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München.\nDie frühere Villa des Malers Franz von Lenbach beherbergt eine der größten Sammlungen von Werken der Künstlergruppe Blauer Reiter mit Bildern von Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky oder Franz Marc. Nach einer Renovierung soll das Haus im Mai 2013 wiedereröffnet werden. Anfang der neunziger Jahre entstand der unterirdische Kunstbau, eine moderne Ausstellungshalle im Zwischengeschoss des U-Bahnhofes Königsplatz.\nJetzt wird der Neue auch Herr über die weltberühmte Blauer-Reiter-Sammlung, die in den vergangenen Jahren einiges mitgemacht hat. Seitdem das Münchner Kunstmuseum seine Tore im Jahr 2009 für die Umbauarbeiten schloss, sind die Werke der Künstlergruppe um Wassily Kandinsky und Franz Marc um die Welt gereist. Ausgerechnet während der Fukushima-Katastrophe waren sie in Japan; den 100. Geburtstag der Künstlergruppe verbrachten die weltberühmten Werke fernab der Heimat.\nSpätestens am 8. Mai 2013 soll die Rastlosigkeit ein Ende haben. Dann wird die Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus für das Publikum wiedereröffnet, einen Tag vorher soll es eine große Eröffnungsfeier mit Prominenz und Politik geben. Die Arbeiten an der Künstlervilla Franz von Lenbachs aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stehen derzeit kurz vor dem Abschluss. Seit Frühjahr 2009 wird das Museum am Münchner Königsplatz renoviert, rund 56 Millionen Euro stellte die Stadt für den Umbau bereit.\nDas Lenbachhaus will den architektonischen Neustart auch mit einem inhaltlichen verknüpfen, wie der scheidende Chef Friedel bereits angekündigt hat. Ein starrer Rundgang soll aufgebrochen werden, Besucher sollen \"Sammlungsgebiete direkt ansteuern\" können. \"Im neu gestalteten und erweiterten Lenbachhaus sowie im Kunstbau bieten sich herausragende Möglichkeiten sinnlicher Kunsterlebnisse\", sagte sein designierter Nachfolger Mühling.\nWenn alles gut geht, könnte zum Neustart auch ein Dauerstreit, der das Haus seit Jahrzehnten belastet, ein Ende gefunden haben. Am 24. April treffen sich Vertreter der Stadt München und die Anwälte einer Erbengemeinschaft vor Gericht, um über Paul Klees \"Sumpflegende\" zu verhandeln. Die Erben der Kunstsammlerin Sophie Lissitzky-Küppers fordern das Bild von der Stadt München zurück und haben eine Klage auf Herausgabe eingereicht.

Anders lässt sich die Stille kaum erklären, die am Montag beim Auftaktspiel der Frauen-Fußball-WM in China herrschte. Während auf dem frisch verlegten Rasen der Ball eins ums andere Mal im Tor landete, war von den Tribünen nur ein höfliches Klatschen zu hören. Das Problem war, dass an diesem Abend in Schanghai nur eine Mannschaft spielte. Was für die Deutschen als ein Fußballfest begann, endete für die Argentinierinnen mit einer Deklassierung. Mit dem 11:0 (5:0) feierten die Deutschen den höchsten Sieg der WM-Geschichte. „Wir haben die Konkurrenz ein bisschen geschockt“, sagte Bundestrainerin Silvia Neid zufrieden. Die dreifache Torschützin Birgit Prinz freute sich, „dass bei uns jede mal getroffen hat“.Die Deutschen, die als Titelverteidiger nach China gereist waren, hielten sich erst gar nicht damit auf, bei ihrem Auftaktspiel nervös zu sein. Torhüterin Nadine Angerer leistete sich nur zu Beginn einen Patzer, als sie einen Pass ins Seitenaus kickte. Doch ab dann ging das Spiel nur noch in Richtung argentinisches Tor. Renate Lingor war bei einem Spurt vor dem Sechzehnmeterraum nur noch mit einer Grätsche zu stoppen. Kurz darauf schickte Melanie Behringer das Leder von der rechten Ecke vor den Strafraum. Die argentinische Torhüterin Vanina Correa faustete den Ball zum 1:0 ins lange Eck – ein kurioses Eigentor.Für das deutsche Team war das jedoch erst der Auftakt. Während die Argentinierinnen sich bald nur noch durch Befreiungsschläge in die Zuschauertribünen retten konnten, starteten die Deutschen einen Sturmlauf auf das Tor der Südamerikanerinnen. Nach einer schönen Flanke von Kerstin Stegemann verwandelte Kerstin Garefrekes volley zum 2:0. Zwei Minuten später wurde Birgit Prinz nur von der Abseitsregel am Torerfolg gehindert. Dann war ihre Mannschaftskollegin Melanie Behringer dran, die nach einem schönen Solo in den spitzen Winkel das 3:0 besiegelte. Nach Flanke von Garefrekes köpfte Prinz zum 4:0 in das Tor der nun völlig überforderten Südamerikanerinnen. In der Verlängerungsminute vor der Halbzeit setzte die Frankfurterin noch einen drauf. Nach Flanke von Simone Laudehr grätschte sie den Ball zum 5:0 ins Tor.Dass Argentinien nicht zu den Favoriten dieser Fußball-WM gehört, war schon vor dem Spiel bekannt. 2003 bei der Weltmeisterschaft in den USA hatten die Südamerikanerinnen 1:6 gegen die Deutschen verloren. Dass sie jedoch Deutschland so sehr unterlegen sein würden, hatte auch im DFB-Team niemand erwartet. „Heißblütig“ seien die argentinischen Spielerinnen, hatte Trainerin Silvia Neid vor dem Spiel immer wieder erklärt. Argentiniens Trainer Jose Carlos Borrello hatte vor dem Anpfiff gar getönt: Die Deutschen würden gegen sein Team „keine schöne Zeit“ erleben.Doch die Argentinierinnen konnten ihren Worten keine Taten folgen lassen. Zwei Minuten nach dem Wiederanpfiff kickte Renate Lingor den Ball mit einem 20-Meter-Weitschuss ins argentinische Tor. Dann war Smisek mit einem Abstauber dran, und Prinz traf mit dem Kopf. Nach zwei weiteren Treffern vom Smisek fabrizierte die argentinische Torhüterin Correa in der letzten Spielminute ein weiteres Eigentor.

Son président ne siège donc plus au comité exécutif de l’organisation patronale, récemment renouvelé.\n\"Nous n’avons aucun désaccord de fond avec le Medef, explique le directeur général de la FFT, Yves Le Mouël, mais un problème économique, et ne pouvons plus verser notre cotisation.\" La FFT a vécu en 2014 de gros soubresauts, reflets de ceux de son secteur : après le rachat de SFR par Numericable en 2014, ce dernier a souhaité quitter la FFT. En l’absence de deux gros opérateurs sur quatre (Free étant parti en 2009), la FFT n’aurait plus été représentative, et a envisagé un temps de disparaître.\nMais Bercy, d’autres organisations professionnelles et les associations ont fait pression, souhaitant garder un interlocuteur. Numericable est finalement resté à la FFT, mais a négocié sa cotisation à la baisse - elle aurait été divisée par deux, à 500 000 euros par an. Avec un budget lui aussi divisé par deux (passé à 1,6 million d’euros en 2015), la FFT a dû licencier cinq de ses dix collaborateurs, a changé de président - Didier Casas, secrétaire général de Bouygues Télécom succède à Pierre Louette, DG ajdoint d'Orange - et suspendu sa cotisation au Medef... Celle-ci était l’une des plus importantes de l’organisation patronale, une des quinze plus grosses selon le Medef, qui ne souhaite pas en divulguer le montant.\nLe Medef perd une de ses plus grosses cotisations\nLa cotisation des fédérations professionnelles est en effet calculée en fonction de la valeur ajoutée des entreprises adhérentes à ces fédérations, et celle-ci est particulièrement forte dans les télécoms. Le Medef, prévenu fin 2014 du souhait de la FFT de suspendre son adhésion, affirme avoir anticipé cette baisse de revenu et ajusté son budget en conséquence. L’organisation patronale se dit plus ennuyée par la non-représentation du secteur dans ses instances que par les effets économiques de cette coupe budgétaire.\nFFT et Medef restent en bons termes, et le Medef continue d’écouter et d’inviter la FFT à ses manifestations, et notamment à ses réflexions sur le numérique. \"Les discussions peuvent s’ouvrir pour envisager notre retour au Medef, mais l’objectif de l’année 2015 est de sauver la fédération\", précise Yves Le Mouël, qui quittera ses fonctions prochainement.\nSelon le Medef, ses statuts ne lui permettent pas de faire une ristourne à une fédération pour la faire revenir dans son giron. Que diraient les autres ? Mais une montée progressive des cotisations, sur plusieurs années, pourrait être discutée.\nCe départ de la FFT n’aura pas de conséquences sur la mesure du poids du Medef dans le cadre de la réforme de la représentativité patronale. C’est pourtant début 2016, sur la base des adhésions de 2015, que les commissaires aux comptes vont calculer le nombre d’entreprises représentées par une organisation patronale. \"Les grosses entreprises adhérentes à la FFT sont aussi présentes dans l’Unétel, une organisation professionnelle plus large et qui a une vocation sociale, contrairement à la FFT, dont le positionnement est surtout économique\", explique le DG de la fédération.

Gurdon, Shinya Yamanaka\nEnglish\nSwedish\nPress Release\n2012-10-08\nThe Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award\nThe Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012\njointly to\nJohn B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka\nfor the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed\nto become pluripotent\nSummary\nThe Nobel Prize recognizes two scientists who discovered that mature, specialised cells can be reprogrammed to become immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body. Their findings have revolutionised our understanding of how cells and organisms develop.\nJohn B. Gurdon discovered in 1962 that the specialisation of cells is reversible. In a classic experiment, he replaced the immature cell nucleus in an egg cell of a frog with the nucleus from a mature intestinal cell. This modified egg cell developed into a normal tadpole. The DNA of the mature cell still had all the information needed to develop all cells in the frog.\nShinya Yamanaka discovered more than 40 years later, in 2006, how intact mature cells in mice could be reprogrammed to become immature stem cells. Surprisingly, by introducing only a few genes, he could reprogram mature cells to become pluripotent stem cells, i.e. immature cells that are able to develop into all types of cells in the body.\nThese groundbreaking discoveries have completely changed our view of the development and cellular specialisation. We now understand that the mature cell does not have to be confined forever to its specialised state. Textbooks have been rewritten and new research fields have been established. By reprogramming human cells, scientists have created new opportunities to study diseases and develop methods for diagnosis and therapy.\nLife – a journey towards increasing specialisation\nAll of us developed from fertilized egg cells. During the first days after conception, the embryo consists of immature cells, each of which is capable of developing into all the cell types that form the adult organism. Such cells are called pluripotent stem cells. With further development of the embryo, these cells give rise to nerve cells, muscle cells, liver cells and all other cell types - each of them specialised to carry out a specific task in the adult body. This journey from immature to specialised cell was previously considered to be unidirectional. It was thought that the cell changes in such a way during maturation that it would no longer be possible for it to return to an immature, pluripotent stage.\nFrogs jump backwards in development\nJohn B. Gurdon challenged the dogma that the specialised cell is irreversibly committed to its fate. He hypothesised that its genome might still contain all the information needed to drive its development into all the different cell types of an organism. In 1962, he tested this hypothesis by replacing the cell nucleus of a frog's egg cell with a nucleus from a mature, specialised cell derived from the intestine of a tadpole. The egg developed into a fully functional, cloned tadpole and subsequent repeats of the experiment yielded adult frogs. The nucleus of the mature cell had not lost its capacity to drive development to a fully functional organism.\nGurdon's landmark discovery was initially met with scepticism but became accepted when it had been confirmed by other scientists. It initiated intense research and the technique was further developed, leading eventually to the cloning of mammals. Gurdon's research taught us that the nucleus of a mature, specialized cell can be returned to an immature, pluripotent state. But his experiment involved the removal of cell nuclei with pipettes followed by their introduction into other cells. Would it ever be possible to turn an intact cell back into a pluripotent stem cell?\nA roundtrip journey – mature cells return to a stem cell state\nShinya Yamanaka was able to answer this question in a scientific breakthrough more than 40 years after Gurdon´s discovery. His research concerned embryonal stem cells, i.e. pluripotent stem cells that are isolated from the embryo and cultured in the laboratory. Such stem cells were initially isolated from mice by Martin Evans (Nobel Prize 2007) and Yamanaka tried to find the genes that kept them immature. When several of these genes had been identified, he tested whether any of them could reprogram mature cells to become pluripotent stem cells.\nYamanaka and his co-workers introduced these genes, in different combinations, into mature cells from connective tissue, fibroblasts, and examined the results under the microscope. They finally found a combination that worked, and the recipe was surprisingly simple. By introducing four genes together, they could reprogram their fibroblasts into immature stem cells!\nThe resulting induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) could develop into mature cell types such as fibroblasts, nerve cells and gut cells. The discovery that intact, mature cells could be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells was published in 2006 and was immediately considered a major breakthrough.\nFrom surprising discovery to medical use\nThe discoveries of Gurdon and Yamanaka have shown that specialised cells can turn back the developmental clock under certain circumstances. Although their genome undergoes modifications during development, these modifications are not irreversible. We have obtained a new view of the development of cells and organisms.\nResearch during recent years has shown that iPS cells can give rise to all the different cell types of the body. These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine. iPS cells can also be prepared from human cells.\nFor instance, skin cells can be obtained from patients with various diseases, reprogrammed, and examined in the laboratory to determine how they differ from cells of healthy individuals.

Das Regime von Präsident Baschar al-Assad antwortete mit erneut mit Schüssen auf die Begräbniszüge.\nDabei gab es mindestens 14 Tote. In der südsyrischen Stadt Isra (Provinz Daraa) wurden sechs, in Vororten von Damaskus acht Teilnehmer erschossen. Das berichteten syrische Aktivisten der Nachrichtenagentur dpa. Zwei Abgeordnete des an sich linientreuen Parlaments aus der Provinz Daraa gaben unter Protest ihr Mandat zurück.\nAnzeige\nNach Angaben der Opposition vom Samstag waren am Vortag in ganz Syrien 112 Demonstranten getötet worden. Aktivisten sprachen von einem «Karfreitags-Massaker». Es war der blutigste Tag seit Beginn der Proteste vor fünf Wochen. Landesweit waren am Freitag Hunderttausende auf die Straße gegangen, um gegen die despotische Assad-Herrschaft zu demonstrieren, so viele wie noch nie.\nDie staatliche Nachrichtenagentur Sana meldete derweil, bei «Angriffen» von Bewaffneten auf Polizei- und Armeeposten seien zehn Menschen getötet worden. Unter ihnen seien zwei Polizisten sowie zusammen acht Soldaten und angebliche Angreifer. Auf die große Zahl getöteter Demonstranten gingen die Regimemedien nicht ein. Ausländische Journalisten erhalten kaum Arbeitsvisa für Syrien und werden von den Behörden obendrein daran gehindert, die Proteste selbst zu beobachten.\nZu dem hohen Blutzoll kam es, weil Heckenschützen in Zivil von Hausdächern willkürlich in die Menschenmengen feuerten. Die Regimemedien sprachen nur vage von «unidentifizierten Bewaffneten». Die Aktivisten gingen aber davon aus, dass sie zu Sonderkommandos des allmächtigen Geheimdienstes gehörten.\nDie Parlamentsabgeordneten Chalil al-Rifaa und Nasser Hariri begründeten ihren Rücktritt im arabischen Nachrichtensender Al-Dschasira damit, dass sie sich nicht mehr in der Lage gesehen hätten, die Bevölkerung in der Provinz Daraa zu schützen. Die gleichnamige Provinzhauptstadt war einer der ersten Brennpunkte der regierungsfeindlichen Proteste. Dutzende Demonstranten wurden von den Sicherheitskräften allein dort getötet.\nBislang galt es in Syrien als unerhört, dass Abgeordnete ihr Mandat zurückgeben. Das Parlament ist ohnehin nicht frei gewählt. Ähnlich wie in den früheren Ostblock-Staaten wird bei einer Pseudo-Wahl die überwiegende Mehrheit der Sitze über eine vom Regime zusammengestellte Einheitsliste verteilt. Außerdem sind alle politischen Parteien außer der herrschenden Baath-Partei verboten.\nLesen Sie hier mehr zu den Themen \"Unruhen\" und \"Syrien\".", "url": "http://www.zeit.de/news-042011/23/HAUPTGESCHICHTE-SAMSTAG29977060xml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130730221636/http://www.zeit.de/news-042011/23/HAUPTGESCHICHTE-SAMSTAG29977060xml" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Assads Heckenschützen feuern auf Trauernde", "text": "Syriens Präsident Assad will die Protestbewegung mit Gewalt stoppen. Heckenschützen schießen auf Trauerzüge und Demonstranten. Bei einer nächtlichen Razzia sollen nun zahlreiche Aktivisten festgenommen worden sein.\nNach den gezielten Schüssen auf Demonstranten und Trauerzüge der vergangenen Tage hat die syrische Geheimpolizei bei Razzien in der Nacht auf Sonntag (24.04.2011) zahlreiche Aktivisten festgenommen, wie Bürgerrechtler berichteten. Die Sicherheitskräfte seien in zivil gekleidet und mit Sturmgewehren bewaffnet gewesen. Eine unabhängige Bestätigung der Angaben gab es nicht.\nAm Samstag hatten Heckenschützen erneut das Feuer auf syrische Bürger eröffnet. Trauernde und Demonstranten, die sich zu Beerdigungen für die Toten des Vortags versammelt hatten, waren das Ziel. Nach Augenzeugen-Berichten wurden in Vororten von Damaskus und in Südsyrien bei Asraa insgesamt 14 Menschen getötet. Zehntausende sollen an den Trauerfeierlichkeiten für die Opfer der Gewalt der Sicherheitskräfte teilgenommen haben.\nBei Protesten nach den Freitagsgebeten hatten Heckenschützen des syrischen Sicherheitsapparats mehr als 100 Demonstranten getötet, wie Menschenrechtsaktivisten und Oppositionelle in Damaskus berichteten. Aktivisten sprachen von einem Massaker.\nAssad verliert Rückhalt in den eigenen Reihen\nAus Protest gegen das Vorgehen des Regimes von Präsident Baschar al-Assad legten zwei Parlamentsabgeordnete aus der südlichen Region Daraa ihr Amt nieder.\nAuch ein islamischer Geistlicher der Regierung erklärte seinen Rücktritt. Der Mufti von Daraa, Resk Abdulrahman Abaseid, sagte, er trete wegen der tödlichen Schüsse der Polizei auf Demonstranten ab. Die Getöteten bezeichnete er als Märtyrer.\nStopp der Gewalt gefordert\nDas äußerst brutale Vorgehen des Regimes des syrischen Präsidenten gegen die immer machtvoller werdende Protestbewegung ist auch international auf heftige Kritik gestoßen.\nUN-Generalsekretär Ban Ki Moon forderte einen unverzüglichen Stopp der Gewalt und eine unabhängige, transparente und effiziente Untersuchung der Todesfälle. Die syrische Regierung müsse sich dringend an die Menschenrechte halten, sagte UN-Sprecher Martin Nesirky. Bundesaußenminister Guido Westerwelle rief Assad zu Zugeständnissen auf. Es sei an der Zeit, dass die syrische Regierung der Demokratiebewegung entgegenkomme und auf die Appelle der internationalen Gemeinschaft reagiere.\nAuch US-Präsident Barack Obama verurteilte das Vorgehen gegen das syrische Volk. Die Gewalt müsse sofort aufhören, sagte Obama. Das brutale Vorgehen der Behörden am Freitag lasse die jüngsten Reformen erblassen. Der syrische Präsident hatte am Donnerstag die seit fast 50 Jahren geltenden Notstandsgesetze aufgehoben und weitere Reformen eingeleitet.\nAuflehnung in ganz Syrien\nMehr als 100.000 Menschen waren am Freitag im ganzen Land auf die Straße gegangen, um ein Ende der Gewaltherrschaft zu fordern. Es war eine noch nie gesehene Zahl von syrischen Bürgern, die der tödlichen Gefahr trotzten und Menschenrechte einforderten.\nIm brutalen Treiben der Sicherheitskräfte geriet nahezu in Vergessenheit, dass Assad erst am Vortag den fast fünf Jahrzehnte geltenden Ausnahmezustand aufgehoben hatte. Auch andere Reformschritte wie die Abschaffung der berüchtigten Staatssicherheitsgerichte und der Erlass eines neuen Gesetzes zur Legalisierung von Demonstrationen wurden von den blutigen Realitäten dieses Freitags überschattet.\nAufhebung des Ausnahmezustands\nSyrische Oppositionskräfte hatten die Reformmaßnahmen Assads vom Donnerstag zunächst vorsichtig begrüßt. \"Es ist ein positiver Schritt, dessen Umsetzung aber genau zu beobachten ist\", sagte der Chef der Syrischen Beobachtungsstelle für Menschenrechte in London, Rami Abdul Rahman. Tatsächlich kam der syrische Staatschef mit der Aufhebung des Ausnahmezustands einer zentralen Forderung der Demonstranten entgegen. Die kriegsrechtsähnliche Gesetzgebung hatte es dem Regime unter Assad und zuvor unter seinem Vater Hafis ermöglicht, Bürger willkürlich zu verhaften und jede politische Opposition mit behördlichen und geheimdienstlichen Mitteln zu verfolgen.\nDoch wie die Eskalation der Gewalt am Freitag zeigte, dürften die Zugeständnisse des Präsidenten zu spät gekommen sein. Denn die Gewalt der Sicherheitskräfte, der seit Beginn der Proteste nun schon mehr als 300 Menschen zum Opfer fielen, hat die Demonstranten radikalisiert. Verlangten die Protestierenden bislang nur echte Reformen und Freiheiten, so dominierten am Freitag bereits die Forderungen nach dem Rücktritt Assads und nach einem Regimewechsel. Auch gingen die Demonstranten nunmehr gezielt gegen die Symbole der Assad-Diktatur vor.\nIn Damaskus etwa wurde eine Statue von Hafis Assad gestürzt und mit Füßen getreten. Der ältere Assad hatte mit seinem Putsch im Jahr 1963 die gegenwärtige Familienherrschaft begründet. Solche Szenen wären noch vor vier Wochen nach Einschätzung von Beobachtern undenkbar gewesen.\nAutoren: Marko Langer/Nicole Scherschun (dpa, rtr, afp)\nRedaktion: Ursula Kissel", "url": "http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15025286,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110427022143/http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15025286,00.html" } ]

[ { "language": "ca", "title": "Sarkozy, detingut per declarar per un cas de tràfic d'influències", "text": "L'expresident francès Nicolas Sarkozy ha estat detingut provisionalment per tràfic d'influències i violació del secret d'instrucció. El polític conservador està retingut en una comissaria de Nanterre en règim de 'garde à vue', una mesura inèdita per a un exmandatari. Durant aquest procés, el detingut està sota la jurisdicció de la policia judicial i amb assistència lletrada durant un màxim de 48 hores.\nEls investigadors intenten determinar si l'expresident i el seu entorn van crear una xarxa d'informadors que els mantenia al corrent de l'evolució dels processos judicials en els quals està immers. Sarkozy va ocupar la presidència francesa entre els anys 2007 i 2012.\nL'expresident ha arribat a la seu policial poc després de les vuit del matí hora local. Aquest dilluns, el seu advocat, Thierry Herzog, i dos alts magistrats, Gilbert Azibert i Patrick Sassoust, ja van ser cridats a declarar. Tots tres continuen detinguts.\nL’escàndol que podria acabar portant l’expresident davant els tribunals es remunta al setembre del 2013, quan la justícia francesa va punxar els telèfons de Sarkozy per esbrinar si havia rebut finançament il·legal de part del difunt dictador libi Muammar al-Gaddafi durant la campanya que el 2007 el va portar a l’Elisi. Aparentment, les converses no han donat informació en aquest sentit, però sí que han mostrat que l’expresident i el seu advocat estaven massa ben informats de l’evolució del cas L’Oréal, en què Sarkozy és sospitós d’haver abusat de la confiança de l’hereva de la coneguda marca de cosmètics, Liliane Bettencourt, per treure’n fons per a la seva campanya. L’anciana és la tercera fortuna de França.\nAquí és on entra el magistrat Gilbert Azibert, detingut ahir, perquè és el Tribunal Suprem qui investiga el cas L’Oréal. Les primeres escoltes van revelar que Sarkozy es mostrava lacònic quan parlava per telèfon amb el seu advocat, i van acabar descobrint l’existència d’un segon telèfon que el polític utilitzava a nom d’un tal Paul Bismuth i des del qual només es comunicava amb Herzog.\nAccés a la intranet del Suprem\nAzibert era l’orella perfecta per seguir l’evolució del cas: tenia accés a la intranet del Suprem i contactes amb magistrats pròxims a la investigació de l’afer Bettencourt. El confident està a punt de jubilar-se i, segons apunten els mitjans francesos, hauria acceptat col·laborar amb l’exmandatari a canvi que Sarkozy influís perquè es pogués retirar còmodament com a conseller d’Estat del Principat de Mònaco. Una acusació que ell sempre ha negat.\nQuan al març es va fer públic que la justícia l’havia espiat, l’expresident Sarkozy va trencar un llarg silenci mediàtic i en una tribuna publicada al diari conservador 'Le Figaro' va denunciar les “manipulacions grolleres” d’una justícia que va recórrer a mètodes “propis de la STASI”, l’antiga policia política de l’Alemanya de l’Est. Era la primera vegada que Sarkozy es defensava en públic i ho feia envoltat del secret més mal guardat del país: les seves intencions de recuperar l’Elisi el 2017.\nMitja dotzena de casos de corrupció persegueixen Sarkozy: van des d’abús de poder, tràfic d’influències i finançament il·legal de campanya fins a comissions il·legals en venda d’armes. L’expedient tacat de sospites de l’expresident és un fil sonor constant en la vida mediàtica francesa, on els mitjans de comunicació donen constantment petits detalls de documents filtrats sobre l’evolució del seu calvari judicial.\nMés popularitat\nLa possibilitat que hagi de declarar davant la justícia arriba enmig dels rumors persistents que Sarkozy tindria la intenció de tornar a agafar les regnes de la UMP ara que el partit conservador francès busca desesperadament un líder, després que el seu expresident Jean-François Copé dimitís per un altre cas de corrupció. Tot i el setge judicial, Sarkozy continua sent als ulls de la majoria dels votants conservadors l’únic polític capaç de reflotar una dreta que no sap com aprofitar-se de la impopularitat rècord del govern socialista de François Hollande ni com aturar l’avenç del Front Nacional de Marine Le Pen.", "url": "http://www.ara.cat/mon/sarkozy_0_1166883460.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20140724164039/http://www.ara.cat/mon/sarkozy_0_1166883460.html" } ]

Nur bei Peter Thomsen und im abschließenden Ritt bei Ingrid Klimke aus Münster fielen jeweils zwei Stangen. \"Die drei Nullfehlerritte waren super für uns\", sagte Bundestrainer Hans Melzer.\nDie Vielseitigkeitsreiter haben dem deutschen Team am vierten Wettkampftag die ersten beiden Goldmedaillen beschert. Nach Mannschaftsgold am Dienstagmittag krönte \"Geburtstagskind\" Michael Jung am Nachmittag seine Karriere mit Einzel-Gold, dem größten Erfolg für den Sieger der Weltreiterspiele von 2010. Den starken Auftritt der deutschen Reiter komplettierte Sandra Auffarth mit dem Gewinn der Bronzemedaille. Silber ging an die Schwedin Sara Algotsson Ostholt.\nEquipe verteidigt Titel - Silber an den Gastgeber\nVor den Augen der pferdesportbegeisterten britischen Königsfamilie ging Silber an das Team von Gastgeber Großbritannien, Bronze sicherte sich Neuseeland. Die deutsche Equipe hatte bereits nach der Dressur und dem Geländeritt vor den Sprungwettbewerben von Dienstag geführt. Mit dem Triumph im königlichen Greenwich Park wiederholte die deutsche Equipe den Erfolg von 2008, als man in Hongkong Olympiasieger wurde.\nJung und Auffarth fehlerfrei aufs Podium\nAm Dienstagnachmittag krönten Jung und Auffarth dann den deutschen Auftritt. Beide blieben fehlerfrei, die Konkurrenz patzte dagegen. Nachdem sich der von Platz zwei gestartete Jung mit einem starken Ritt an die Spitze gesetzt hatte, ging Spitzenreiterin Sara Algotsson Ostholt an den Start. Die 37-jährige Schwedin zeigte einen souveränen Auftritt - bis zum letzten Hindernis. Ihr Pferd Wega touchierte den Balken, der erst wackelte und dann herunterfiel. Jung wurde Olympiasieger. Auffarth, die von Platz fünf ins Rennen ging, profitierte von Fehlern der beiden Britinnen Mary King und Kristina Cook. \"Es war traumhaft, hier zu reiten\", freute sich die 25-jährige Auffarth nach dem Wettkampf: \"Meine zweite Runde war noch besser als die erste Runde heute Mittag mit der Mannschaft. Am liebsten würde ich noch eine dritte Runde reiten.\"\nAls dritte deutsche war für den Einzel-Wettkampf auch Klimke qualifizierte. Die Münsteranerin wollte aber ihr Pferd Abraxxas schonen und zugunsten von Schrade auf einen Startplatz verzichten. Weil man laut Olympia-Reglement aber nur für einen Reiter aus einem anderen Land verzichten darf, durfte Schrade nicht ran. Stattdessen rückte der Niederländer Andrew Heffernan nach. Als 26. hatte er sich für das Finale der besten 25 eigentlich nicht qualifiziert.\nStand: 31.07.2012 16:38", "url": "http://olympia.ard.de/london2012/allemeldungen/vielseitigkeit195.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120801150929/http://olympia.ard.de/london2012/allemeldungen/vielseitigkeit195.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Erste deutsche Medaille: Heidemann holt Silber", "text": "Inhalt.\nFechten\nErste deutsche Medaille: Heidemann holt Silber\nBritta Heidemann hat vier Jahre nach ihrem Triumph in Peking den zweiten Olympiasieg verpasst, der deutschen Mannschaft mit Silber im olympischen Degenwettbewerb aber die erste Medaille in London beschert. Die 29-Jährige aus Leverkusen unterlag am Montagabend im Finale der ukrainischen Weltranglistenelften Yana Shemyakina mit 8:9 nach \"Sudden Death\". Das Finale musste in der Verlängerung entschieden werden, nachdem es nach Ablauf der regulären Gefechtszeit 8:8 stand.\nHeidemann: \"Darf mich nicht beschweren\"\n\"Ich bin natürlich enttäuscht. Ich hätte gerne noch den letzten Treffer gesetzt, die Chancen waren da\", sagte Heidemann in einer ersten Reaktion. \"Aber ich darf mich nicht beschweren, man kann nicht immer Erster werden. Nach Gold in Peking nun Silber, das ist ein tolles Ergebnis. Die Medaille zählt, und damit fühle ich mich gut. Ich bin total stolz, dass ich mich ins Finale durchkämpfen konnte. \" Nach den Anstrengungen des Tages wirkte Heidemann bei der Siegerehrung wieder entspannt und scherzte mit der ehemaligen Fechterin und IOC-Athletensprecherin Claudia Bokel, die ihr die Medaille übergab. DOSB-Präsident Thomas Bach zeigte sich nach der ersten deutschen Medaille bei den Spielen in London erleichtert: \"Das war eine großartige Leistung nach zwei wahren Krimis. Ich kann nur den Hut ziehen\", sagte der ehemalige Weltklasse-Fechter. \"Ich hoffe, dass jetzt der Bann für die deutsche Mannschaft gebrochen ist.\"\nDenkwürdiges Halbfinale\nDas Finale begann mit einstündiger Verspätung, nachdem es im Anschluss an Heidemanns Halbfinale ein denkwürdiges Nachspiel gegeben hatte. Heidemann bezwang die Südkoreanerin Shin A Lam in einem taktisch geprägten Gefecht mit 6:5. Nach drei Runden stand es 5:5. Im \"Sudden Death\" bewies die Leverkusenerin jedoch einmal mehr Nervenstärke - sie hatte zwei ihrer Gefechte mit nur einem Treffer Vorsprung gewonnen - und setzte buchstäblich in letzter Sekunde den entscheidenden Treffer. Im Fall eines Remis wäre die Asiatin, die im Achtelfinale die Heidenheimerin Monika Sozanska 14:9 bezwungen hatte, in den Endkampf eingezogen.\nRudelbildung und offizieller Protest\nDer siegbringende Treffer setzte eine quälend lange Diskussion um die Kampfwertung in Gang. Der Trainer der Südkoreanerin wollte die Niederlage seines Schützlings nicht wahrhaben. Nach Meinung der Südkoreaner war die Zeit bei Heidemanns entscheidendem Treffer längst abgelaufen. Es kam zu einer regelrechten Rudelbildung vor der Planche. Der südkoreanische Coach stellte sich schließlich vor die Reihen der Offiziellen und schimpfte lauthals. Nach rund 30-minütigen Beratungen bestätigte das technische Direktorium schließlich die Entscheidung der Kampfrichterin und kürte Heidemann zur Siegerin. Die südkoreanische Delegation legte anschließend offiziell Protest gegen die Wertung ein, der jedoch abgewiesen wurde. Die in Tränen aufgelöste Shin A Lam weigerte sich daraufhin lange, die Planche zu verlassen, dadurch verzögerte sich der Beginn der Medaillengefechte. Erst auf Drängen von Offiziellen und ihrer Delegation verließ Shin A Lam nach 45 Minuten die Arena. Die völlig entnervte Shin verlor anschließend den Kampf um Bronze gegen die Weltranglisten-Erste Sun Yujie aus China mit 11:15.\nVesper: \"Tatsachenentscheidung\"\n\"Ich hätte gerne einen anderen Einzug in das Finale gehabt\", sagte Heidemann hinterher, stellte aber auch klar: \"Ich habe einen regulären Treffer gesetzt. Deshalb kann ich die Diskussion nicht nachvollziehen. Das ist superärgerlich.\" Der deutsche Chef de Mission, Michael Vesper, sprach von einer \"Tatsachenentscheidung. Sie ist zu akzeptieren.\"\nNervenstärke auf dem Weg ins Finale\nIm Viertelfinale hatte Heidemann die tunesische Außenseiterin Sarra Besbes mit 15:12 geschlagen. In der Runde der letzten Acht war es zur Neuauflage des olympischen Halbfinales von 2008 gegen Weltmeisterin Li Na aus China gekommen, das die Deutsche mit 14:13 für sich entschied. Gegen die Chinesin führte Heidemann schon deutlich mit 9:5, ehe es in den letzten Sekunden des Gefechts doch noch einmal spannend wurde. Die Chinesin verkürzte auf 13:14, konnte in der Schlusssekunde aber nicht mehr den Treffer zum Ausgleich anbringen.\nIhr erstes Gefecht hatte Heidemann im \"Sudden Death\" gewonnen. Die Goldmedaillengewinnerin von Peking bezwang die Italienerin Bianca del Carretto in der Runde der besten 32 nach Verlängerung mit 14:13. Dabei zeigte sich die 29-Jährige beeindruckend nervenstark, als sie bei einem zwischenzeitlichen 10:13-Rückstand kurz vor dem frühzeitigen Aus stand. Sie schaffte bis zur regulären Schlusssirene den Ausgleich, um in der anschließenden einminütigen Verlängerung gegen die kämpferische Italienerin den entscheidenden Angriff zu setzen.\nDuplitzer scheidet gegen Weltranglistenerste aus\nDie zweimalige Degen-Europameisterin Imke Duplitzer hat derweil den Einzug ins Achtelfinale verpasst. Zwei Tage nach ihrem Geburtstag verlor die 37-Jährige aus Bonn gegen die Weltranglistenerste Sun Yujie aus China mit 10:15. Die 19-Jährige ist Weltranglistenerste und WM-Zweite von Catania 2011. Duplitzer nahm das Aus gelassen. \"Soll ich mir die Augen aus dem Kopf heulen, weil ich gegen die Nummer eins verloren habe?\", fragte sie nach der Niederlage.\nZum Auftakt hatte sich Duplitzer unter den Top 64 gegen Maria Martinez aus Venezuela mit 15:10 noch durchgesetzt. Duplitzer, die am Samstag 37 Jahre alt geworden war, nimmt zum fünften Mal an Olympischen Spielen teil. 2008 in Peking und vier Jahre davor in Athen war sie jeweils Fünfte.\nTreffen mit Vesper nach den Spielen\nEine Woche vor ihrem Start in London hatte sie mit einer Pauschalkritik an den Umständen im deutschen Leistungssport für Diskussionen gesorgt. Der von Duplitzer unter anderem kritisierte Generaldirektor des Deutschen Olympischen Sportbundes (DOSB) und deutsche Chef de Mission, Michael Vesper, beobachtete am Montag den ersten Duplitzer-Auftritt in den ExCeL-Arenen persönlich und beklatschte den Erfolg gegen Martinez - von Imke Duplitzer unbemerkt: \"Ich schau' doch nicht auf die Tribüne.\"\nIhr Fokus bei Olympia lag wegen der Folgen einer Verletzung von der WM 2011 ohnehin auf dem Teamwettbewerb am Samstag. Dann trifft Deutschland im Viertelfinale auf den WM-Zweiten China. Nach den Spielen will Duplitzer das Gesprächsangebot von Vesper annehmen: \"Ich hab' ein kleines, nettes Packerl dabei\", kündigte sie an.\nVideos Video Fechterin Duplitzer ausgeschieden Endstation in der zweiten Runde: Degen-Fechterin Imke Duplitzer unterlag gegen die favorisierte Chinesin Yujie Sun, die aktuelle Nummer eins der Welt, mit 10:15.

Der Deutsche gewann mit 40,60 Punkten und verdrängte mit seinem Wallach Sam die Schwedin Sara Algotsson-Ostholt (43,30 Punkte) von Platz eins. Bronze holte Sandra Auffarth auf Opgun Louvo (44,80). Für Jung ist es damit ein perfekter 30. Geburtstag.\n\"Das ist unglaublich. Ich freue mich sehr, dass es Gold geworden ist und nicht Silber\", sagte Jung. Am Mittag hatte der Welt- und Europameister zusammen mit Sandra Auffarth, Ingrid Klimke, Dirk Schrade und Peter Thomsen schon Mannschafts-Gold geholt. Jung ist der erste Reiter, der nach dem WM- und EM-Titel auch olympisches Gold gewann.\nBereits vor vier Jahren in Hongkong hatten die deutschen Vielseitigkeitsreiter in Einzel- und Team-Wettbewerb triumphiert.

All animals were housed in the sunny room. The use and care of animals complied with the guideline of the Animal Advisory Committee at the Shanghai Institute of Biological Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The ethics application entitled “Reproductive physiology of cynomolgus monkeys and establishment transgenic monkeys” (#ER-SIBS-221106P) was approved by Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.\nMethod Details\nPreparation of Nuclear Donor Cells Primary fibroblasts were isolated from a 61 day-old freshly aborted cynomolgus fetus. The fetal tissue were cut into small pieces after removing the head, tail, limbs, and viscera and digested with DNase (1 mg/ml) and collagenase IV (0.5 mg/ml) in cell culture medium containing DMEM supplemented with 100 IU/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 10% FBS, non-essential amino acids, and glutamine at 37°C in 5% CO 2 for 4 h. Isolated monkey fibroblasts were cultured in 10 cm dishes for 10-20 h until they reached confluency, disaggregated by trypsin, and stored in liquid nitrogen in cell culture medium containing 10% dimethylsulfoxide. Frozen fibroblasts (P0-P5) were thawed and cultured until confluency, and used for SCNT 3-7 days later. For preparation of adult monkey cumulus cells, fresh cumulus cells were collected from the follicular aspirates of oocyte donors and washed twice with TH3 medium. Re-suspended cumulus cells were used directly for SCNT.\nSuperovulation and Oocyte Collection Healthy female cynomolgus monkeys with regular menstrual cycles were chosen for superovulation and laparoscopy was used for oocyte collection. From day 3 of menstrual cycle, 25 IU recombinant human follitropin was injected intramuscularly twice daily for 7–8 days. On day 11, 1000 IU of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) was also injected, oocytes were aspirated from follicles 2–8 mm in diameter 36 h later. The collected oocytes were cultured in the pre-equilibrated hamster embryo culture medium 9 (HECM-9) medium. Metaphase II-arrested oocytes were selected for manipulation.\nMonkey SCNT and ICSI Procedures For monkey SCNT, a group of 15-20 monkey MII oocytes were transferred to manipulation drops containing HEPES-buffered Tyrode’s lactate medium (TH3) with 5 μg/ml cytochalasin B in a glass bottom dish. The spindle-chromosome complex was removed rapidly by a piezo-driven pipette under a spindle imaging microscopic system (Oosight) within 10 min for the entire group of oocytes. The enucleated oocytes were transferred to pre-equilibrated HECM-9 at 37°C under 5% CO 2 . After all oocytes were enucleated, a group of 15-20 enucleated oocytes were re-transferred to manipulation drops with TH3 and 5 μg/ml cytochalasin B. Fibroblasts or cumulus cells were briefly incubated in a medium containing fusogenic viral envelop HVJ-E and introduced to the perivitelline space of the enucleated oocytes by a micropipette through a slit in the zona pellucida that was created by laser irradiation. At 1-2 h after cell fusion, reconstructed embryos were activated in TH3 medium with 5 μM ionomycin for 5 min and transferred to HECM-9 medium containing 2 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine for 5 h. TSA (10 nM) were applied for 10 h during and after activation. For Kdm4d mRNA injection, 10 pl of 1000 ng/μl Kdm4d mRNA were used for injection at 6 h after activation with a piezo-driven micromanipulator (Primetech). It is possible that the Kdm4d mRNA concentration we used was not optimal and further optimization of the concentration is needed.

Generation of macaques with sperm derived from juvenile monkey testicular xenografts. 2 . For monkey intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), previously published procedure was used (). Briefly, a single picked sperm was injected into the ooplasm using a piezo-driven micromanipulator and fertilization was confirmed 6 h later by the presence of two pronuclei. Embryos were cultured in pre-equilibrated HECM-9 at 37°C under 5% CO\nCulture of Monkey Embryos and Embryos Transfer Monkey ICSI and SCNT embryos were cultured in HECM-9 medium at 37°C under 5% CO 2 . The embryos were transferred to HECM-9+5% FBS medium after reaching 8-cell stage and the medium was changed every other day until the embryo reached the blastocyst stage. For embryo transfer, females with synchronous menstrual cycle whose ovaries had a stigma or fresh corpus luteum were used as surrogates. Embryos (at 2-cell to blastocyst stage) were transferred to the oviduct.\nGenetic Analysis of Cloned Monkeys For short tandem repeats (STR) analysis, ear tissue sample collected from monkeys were used to extract DNA. Locus-specific primers each containing a fluorescent dye (FAM/HEX/TMR) were used for PCR amplification in batches. FAM, HEX or TMR-labeled STR amplicons were diluted and mixed with internal size standard ROX500 and deionized formamide, followed by capillary electrophoresis on ABI PRISM 3730 genetic analyzer to obtain the raw data. Sequencer-generated raw data were analyzed with the program Gene Marker 2.2.0, which produces wave plots, Excel documents (including information such as size and genotype), and DNA profiles. For single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, ear tissue sample collected from monkeys were used to extract DNA. PCR with specific primers (F: CCACTTCACATCAAACCATCACTT, R: CAAGCAGCGAATACCAGCAAAA) in mtDNA were performed. DNA was amplified with 35 cycles of 95°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 1 min, followed by a 5-min extension at 72°C. The PCR products were used for sequencing and the result were used for the SNP analysis.\nKdm4d In Vitro Transcription For Kdm4d in vitro transcription, CDS of human Kdm4d gene was cloned from the cDNA plasmid provided by Dr. J.H. Han of Xiamen University. The DNA template was amplified by the T7 promoter containing primer (F: TTAATACGACTCACTATAGGGATGGAAACTATGAAGTCTAAGGCCAACT, R: ATATAAAGACAGCCCGTGGACTTAGG). T7-Kdm4d PCR product was purified and used as the template for in vitro transcription (IVT) using mMESSAGE mMACHINE T7 ULTRA kit (Life Technologies, AM1345). The RNA products were purified using MEGA clear kit (Life Technologies, AM1908) and eluted in RNase-free water.\nImmunostaining Monkey SCNT embryos (one-cell stage) were fixed in PBS with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 20 min. After being washed three times with PBS, embryos were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS (permeabilization buffer) for 30 min. After being blocked in a permeabilization buffer with 10% donkey serum for 1h, embryos were incubated for overnight at 4°C with anti-H3K9me3 (1/200, Abcam, ab8898), which were diluted in a permeabilization buffer containing 10% donkey serum. After being washed with PBS for 3 times every 10 min, Cy3 AffiniPure-conjugated donkey anti-Rabbit IgG (1:500, Jackson: 711-165-152) for 2 hr at 37°C. After being washed with PBS and counterstain of nucleus chromosome (nuclear DNA) with DAPI (Sigma), embryos were transfer into a spinning disk for confocal microscopic analysis (Olympus Microsystems).", "url": "http://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(18)30057-6", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210318095622/https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674%2818%2930057-6" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Shots - Health News", "text": "Chinese Scientists Clone Monkeys Using Method That Created Dolly The Sheep\nEnlarge this image toggle caption Qiang Sun and Mu-ming Poo/Chinese Academy of Sciences/Cell Press Qiang Sun and Mu-ming Poo/Chinese Academy of Sciences/Cell Press\nChinese researchers have finally figured out how to clone a primate, using the same technique Scottish researchers devised to clone the first mammal, Dolly the sheep, in the mid-1990s.\nScientists in Shanghai say they've produced two cloned macaque monkeys by taking the DNA from the nuclei of fetal monkey cells and putting the genes into monkey eggs that had their own DNA removed. The scientists then stimulated the eggs to develop into embryos, which were placed into the wombs of female surrogate monkeys to develop into baby monkeys. It's the first time the technology, called somatic cell nuclear transfer, has been used to clone any close relative of humans.\nThe researchers hope to use the advance to create genetically identical monkeys for medical research. They describe their work in the journal Cell.\n\"We're excited — extremely excited,\" Mu-ming Poo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said. \"This is really, I think, a breakthrough for biomedicine.\"\nHe sees a need to have \"genetically identical monkeys for studying many human diseases, especially brain diseases\" such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's.\nOther scientists agree the development could prove very useful.\n\"I think it's a very exciting landmark. It's a major advance,\" says Dieter Egli, a reproductive biologist at Columbia University. \"It should be possible to make models of human disease in those monkeys and study those and then attempt to cure it.\"\nBut the step also raises concern that someone might try to use the same technique to clone humans, given the biological similarities between monkeys and humans.\n\"People may wonder: Are human beings next?\" says Insoo Hyun, a bioethicist at Case Western Reserve University. \"People have always been worried about the possibility of human cloning. And this is just yet another step in that direction.\"\nThe Chinese scientists acknowledge that any new technology can be abused. But they stress they have no interest in ever trying to clone a person. \"Technically speaking one can clone human,\" Poo says. \"But we're not going to do it. There's absolutely no plan to do anything on humans.\"\nEver since Scottish researchers cloned Dolly the sheep, scientists have attempted to use the same technique to clone other mammals. They've succeeded with many species, including mice, dogs, cows, horses and rabbits.\nScientists cloned rhesus monkeys using a different method known as embryo splitting. But that technique isn't considered useful for producing large numbers of genetically modified clones for medical research.\nResearchers have also created cloned human embryos, even after earlier claims of doing so were determined to have been fraud. But that work was done to obtain human embryonic stem cells for research.\nDespite decades of trying, no one had ever succeeded in using the same method used to create Dolly to clone a primate.\n\"It's been tried for so many years and it hasn't worked,\" says Shoukhrat Mitalipov, director of the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Ore. \"This time it worked, which is a big deal.\"\nPoo's team succeeded by removing the DNA from fetal monkeys instead of using adult cells as a starting point. The scientists then transferred the genes into monkey eggs that had had their own DNA removed.\nThe next step was also crucial, Poo says. The researchers stimulated the eggs to develop into embryos with a new mix of chemical signals. \"The trick is we choose the right chemicals to turn on these genes we transfer into the egg,\" Poo says. \"So that's what we did different. I think that's the key.\"\nThe researchers then transplanted the cloned monkey embryos into surrogate female monkeys.\nZhong Zhong and Hua Hua\nTwo baby macaque monkey clones were born six and eight weeks ago. Their names are Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua after the Chinese word Zhonghua, which means \"Chinese people.\"\n\"They are lively. They are walking, jumping, playing around like all newborn baby monkeys,\" Poo says, adding that so far they seem very healthy.\nMany bioethicists and scientists say it would be highly unethical to even try to clone a person the same way.\nThe first concern is safety. For example, most of the cloned Chinese monkeys died in the womb or soon after birth. \"So safety of the resulting child is a major concern,\" Hyun says.\nBut even if it were safe, many researchers say there are many other reasons to never try. \"Cloning one individual in the image of another really sort of demeans the significance of us as individuals,\" says Dr. George Daley, dean of the Harvard Medical School. \"There's a certain sort of gut sense that it violates sort of natural norms.\"\nOthers agree.\n\"To say it's OK for some scientist or some parent to go ahead for no good reason to produce a cloned child would really demean what it means to be human,\" says Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society, a watchdog group\nDaley and others fear a rogue scientist somewhere could attempt human cloning, even though there are laws against it in many countries.\n\"We live in such a celebrity-driven world that there are unscrupulous practitioners who might try this,\" Daley says.", "url": "https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/01/24/579925801/chinese-scientists-clone-monkeys-using-method-that-created-dolly-the-sheep", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20180124190957/https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/01/24/579925801/chinese-scientists-clone-monkeys-using-method-that-created-dolly-the-sheep" }, { "language": "en", "title": "The History of Cloning", "text": "Sea urchin\nHans Adolf Edward Dreisch\nThe sea urchin is a relatively simple organism that is useful for studying development.

Bush, ha dicho a menudo que el país se fundó con la idea de dignidad humana y está dedicado a esa causa: pero hay un abismo entre la retórica y la realidad, según Amnistía.\nDistinción difusa\nPero Estados Unidos no es de ningún modo el único o el peor infractor de los derechos humanos puesto que el asesinato, la violencia y los abusos de mujeres y niños se extienden por todo el mundo, dijo Amnistía Internacional (AI).\n“Los abusos contra los derechos humanos en Iraq y Afganistán no fueron ni mucho menos las únicas repercusiones negativas de la reacción ante los terribles sucesos acaecidos el 11 de septiembre de 2001”, señala el informe.\n“Desde ese día, tanto gobiernos como grupos armados han atacado y socavado el marco de las normas internacionales de derechos humanos”, agregó.\nLa distinción cada vez más borrosa entre la guerra contra el terrorismo y la guerra contra el narcotráfico llevó a los gobiernos en toda América Latina a usar soldados para combatir delitos de los que habitualmente se encargaba la Policía, dijo el reporte.\nKhan también condenó a la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas por no defender a aquellos que supuestamente están a su cuidado.\n“La Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la ONU se ha convertido en un foro donde se chalanea (negocia) con los derechos humanos”, dijo.\n“El año pasado dejó de analizar el caso de Iraq, fue incapaz de adoptar medidas sobre Chechenia, Nepal o Zimbabwe y guardó silencio sobre Guantánamo”, agregó.\nWashington rechaza acusaciones\nLa Casa Blanca calificó este miércoles de “ridículas e infundadas” las críticas de Amnistía Internacional que acusan a Washington de haber minado el respeto a los derechos humanos en el mundo, al manifestar una “doble moral” respecto a la tortura.\n“Estimo que estas acusaciones son ridículas y no están fundadas en hechos”, afirmó el portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Scott McClellan. “Estados Unidos permite que se protejan los Derechos Humanos y la defensa de la dignidad humana”, agregó.\n“Hemos liberado a más de 50 millones de personas en Iraq y en Afganistán, apoyamos la libertad y la democracia en el mundo para que las personas puedan ser gobernadas según el Estado de derecho y que los derechos de las minorías y de las mujeres sean protegidos”, destacó el portavoz.\nAmnistía Internacional acusó a las autoridades estadounidenses de embanderarse en los ideales de “justicia y libertad”, mientras al mismo tiempo muchos de sus soldados son acusados de torturas y malos tratos en las cárceles de Abu Ghraib (Iraq) o Guantánamo (Cuba).\n(Con información de Reuters y AFP)", "url": "http://caracolnoticias.com/internacional/noti_internacional.asp?id_sw=60493", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20051123151035/http://caracolnoticias.com/internacional/noti_internacional.asp?id_sw=60493" } ]

[ { "language": "es", "title": "“Prometo obediencia incondicional al nuevo papa”", "text": "Benedicto XVI ya está en Castel Gandolfo. El Papa ha viajado en helicóptero a la residencia estival pontificia, donde a las ocho de la tarde dejará de ser efectivamente líder de la Iglesia católica. Por la mañana se ha despedido en el Vaticano de la mayoría de cardenales que ya han llegado a la ciudad para preparar el cónclave que debe elegir a su sucesor. En un acto muy breve, el Papa ha saludado a los purpurados, ha agradecido su presencia y ha prometido obediencia \"incondicional\" al próximo pontífice.\nEn el corto trayecto en helicóptero —de unos veinte minutos—, Benedicto XVI ha estado acompañado por su secretario, Georg Gänswein, su médico personal, el jefe de la Casa Pontificia y su nuevo mayordomo, el sustiuto de Paolo Gabriele, destituido y procesado por el caso Vatileaks. Allí pasará las últimas horas, hasta que a las 20.00 se haga efectiva su renuncia.\nLas últimas horas 11.00. Benedicto XVI se reúne con los cardenales que han llegado a Roma para el Cónclave para saludarles y despedirse de ellos. 16.30. El todavía Papa partirá en helicóptero desde el Vaticano hacia la residencia estival de Castel Gandolfo. 17.00 (aprox). El helicóptero aterrizará en Castel Gandolfo, donde Benedicto XVI se dirigirá al público con sus últimas palabras como Pontífice. 20.00. Se hará efectiva la renuncia y Benedicto XVI dejará de ser Papa y pasará a ser papa emérito, y la sede de Pedro quedará vacante.\nEn su discurso ante los cardenales de mediodía, Joseph Ratzinger ha dicho: \"Seguiré estando especialmente cerca con la oración, sobre todo en los próximos días para que estéis totalmente iluminados por el Espíritu Santo en la elección del nuevo Papa, que el Señor os muestre lo que él desea. Entre vosotros está el futuro Papa al que desde hoy ya le prometo mi reverencia y obediencia incondicional\".\nSe ha cumplido así el último acto de un adiós que Benedicto XVI ha preparado al milímetro. A continuación, regresará a su apartamento para preparar junto a la llamada Familia Pontificia —su secretario, monseñor Georg Gänswein y cuatro laicas consagradas— un viaje hacia la residencia de Castel Gandolfo, a unos 20 kilómetros de Roma, del que retornará dentro de dos meses, cuando su sucesor ya esté elegido y las obras del convento del Vaticano donde tiene previsto recluirse estén terminadas. Unos minutos antes de las ocho de la tarde, el Papa se despedirá en el patio de San Dámaso, obra de Bramante y Rafael, de su secretario de Estado, el cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, y subirá al helicóptero.\nA las cinco de la tarde, las campanas de Roma anunciarán, todas a un tiempo, que Benedicto XVI está abandonando el Vaticano. A las ocho de la tarde, la Guardia Suiza cerrará las puertas del Palacio Apostólico, única señal externa de que Joseph Ratzinger, de 85 años, estará dejando en ese mismo instante de ser papa. La silla de Pedro quedará vacante y la Iglesia se sumergirá en una incertidumbre extraña, desconocida desde hace siete siglos, la de esperar la llegada de su nuevo Sumo Pontífice con el anterior todavía vivo.\nEl último acto público del papado de Ratzinger, que comenzó el 19 de abril de 2005, será en Castel Gandolfo, cuando se asome al balcón del palacio pontificio y salude a vecinos y turistas. A partir de ese momento, y según él anunció el pasado día 14 ante los curas de Roma, permanecerá “escondido para al mundo”. Entre las muchas dudas que quedan por resolver está la de la relación —o la no relación— de Joseph Ratzinger con su sucesor y si, por ejemplo, le hará entrega personalmente del polémico informe confidencial elaborado por tres cardenales octogenarios sobre las sospechas de corrupción en el Vaticano.\nEn cualquier caso, de lo que no hay ninguna duda es que, el pasado día 11, cuando anunció en latín su sorprendente renuncia al papado, Benedicto ya había planificado muy bien sus últimos días frente a la Iglesia. Gestos, palabras, decisiones. Una fecha, 28 de febrero de 2013, y una hora, las ocho de la tarde. Será el momento en que, junto al lago Albano, el papa alemán se quite el Anillo del Pescador, deje de calzar los zapatos rojos que representan el martirio y —según aseguró el padre Federico Lombardi— pierda su cualidad de infalible. Conservará, no obstante, otra cualidad, más terrena pero no por ello muy común. La de haber renunciado al poder cuando, “ni humana ni espiritualmente”, se consideró capaz de seguir ejerciéndolo.", "url": "http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2013/02/28/actualidad/1362043385_596365.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130228164409/http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2013/02/28/actualidad/1362043385_596365.html" } ]

Les thèmes retenus cette année sont : la dette, les accords de partenariat économiques, les privatisations, les OGM, l'endettement des paysans, la souveraineté alimentaire, l'accès à l'eau, les conflits fonciers. Au moment où se déroule le Forum des Peuples à Sikasso après celui de Siby I, Siby II, Kita, Fana et à Gao où la dernière édition s'est tenue du 15 au 17 juillet 2006 était consacrée à l'évaluation, à l'analyse critique des acquis des éditions précédentes et aux propositions pour corriger les faiblesses, insuffisances et construire le future. Comme d'habitude, depuis 2002 jusqu'à ce jour, une conférence de ce genre est tenue par la CAD-Mali que préside Mme Barry Aminata Touré et concerne l'organisation du Forum des Peuples qui est un espace de renforcement du mouvement social malien et africain. Il est partie intégrante de la société civile malienne, membre de la CAD-Mali unissent les efforts et leurs idéaux de lutte pour agir en contre poids au Sommet du G8 où se discutent par les chefs de gouvernement des pays les plus riches, les questions engageant la vie de la planète toute entière. Le débat planétaire mené par ces riches du monde, fausse les enjeux puisque il ne se fait pas sur la base du respect d'une justice économique et sociale et enfonce davantage les pays pauvres dans la misère et compromet leur économie. Egalement dans ce débat \"planétaire\", les règles de commerce équitables sont violées et d'immenses opportunités d'exploitation et d'abus des pays les plus pauvres se décident par et pour les pays les plus riches. Selon Mme Barry, autour d'elle, Men Badra Coulibaly et Bitou Coulibaly, la chargée de communication pour le Forum du peuple dira que ce Forum permettra aux africains de s'échanger, de débattre sur les problèmes auxquels l'Afrique est confrontée dans son développement tant sur le plan économique mais aussi politico-social. Face à ce déficit économique en général, la CAD-Mali a porté son choix sur la région de Sikasso, la région économique du Mali mais confrontée à des contraintes et malaises socio-économique et politique dans la zone. Le choix de la 3ème région administrative s'explique par les potentialités économiques qui se résument principalement sur l'agriculture, les ressources minières et commerciales. Ce territoire est sans doute la capitale de l'or blanc (coton) au Mali sur lequel est localisé la Compagnie Malienne pour le Développement Textile (CMDT). Celle-ci est en état de privatisation sauvage avec comme conséquence un bradage de l'économie nationale , des travailleurs déflatés et un tissu social délabré voire la menace de l'agriculture pour l'OGM (Organisme génétiquement modifié) Sur le plan minier, Sikasso recèle d'importants gisements d'or tel que les mines d'or de Kalana. En matière de commerce, Sikasso pèse lourd dans la balance commerciale du Mali. La tenue de ce forum des peuples permettra de mobiliser les collectivités et communautés des différentes localités en vue de discuter, de débattre des problèmes liés à l'exploitation des paysans de la zone cotonnière qui éprouvent de réelles difficultés à des contraintes politiques de développement dont les origines sont à rechercher dans les rapports Nord-Sud et les pratiques néo-libérales et également aussi l'exploitation minière. L'une des plus contraintes majeures au développement dans la région reste encore le faible taux de couverture en électricité alors qu'il existe des potentialités hydroélectriques qu'offrent le barrage de Sélingué sur le Sankarani. Le forum doit s'atteler à travers des stratégies appropriées, à attirer l'attention des autorités nationale, régionale pour qu'une solution durable soit envisagée à cette contrainte majeure Modibo L FOFANA", "url": "http://www.maliweb.net/category.php?NID=18983&intr=", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071208102526/http://www.maliweb.net/category.php?NID=18983&intr=" } ]

Die Linke in Deutschland dürfe nicht noch weiter zersplittern.

Lafontaine bedauerte, dass er vor der Bundestagswahl 1998 die Kanzlerkandidatur nicht für sich reklamiert habe. Es sei ein politischer Fehler gewesen, den Spitzenplatz Schröder zu überlassen. \"Nur der Kanzler bestimmt die Richtlinien der Politik\", sagte Lafontaine. In dem Moment, in dem Schröder \"die politisch-inhaltlichen Vereinbarungen\" mit ihm gebrochen habe, sei für ihn das rot-grüne Projekt gescheitert gewesen.\nFür Schröder liegt die gemeinsame Zeit mit Lafontaine offenbar lang zurück.

I will be giving a policy statement and spelling out my priorities on the floor of the house,\" Gilani told AFP after he was nominated.\n\"I am thankful to my party leadership for putting their trust in me,\" Gilani said, adding that he missed the party's \"great leader\" Bhutto, who was assassinated in a suicide attack at a political rally on December 27.\nGilani spent five years in jail under Musharraf's regime on corruption charges stemming from his time as speaker -- winning admiration from PPP colleagues who said the charges were politically motivated.\nZardari said in a statement announcing the nomination on Saturday that \"Yousuf Raza Gilani is not afraid to lead and he knows the way.\"\nSpeculation remains however that Gilani would be a stop-gap premier until Zardari -- who is not an MP -- becomes eligible to stand for the post by contesting a by-election in May.\n\"This option stays open depending on the performance of the government, it is possible,\" Hasan Askari, a professor at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington DC, told AFP.\nGilani was speaker during Bhutto's second term in power from 1993 to 1996 and a minister during her first term from 1988 to 1990.\nMeanwhile the former ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q party, which backed Musharraf in the last parliament, said it was going to choose a new candidate on Sunday to go up against Gilani in Monday's vote.\nA nominee of Musharraf's allies on Saturday quit the race for the premiership in a dramatic about-face, saying he would give \"unconditional support to the PPP nominee.\"\nMusharraf is set to swear in the new premier on Tuesday.\nWestern governments are closely watching the political scene in Pakistan amid concerns that instability will hurt the fight against Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants behind a wave of recent violence.\nThe coalition government appears set for a confrontation with Musharraf after vowing to reinstate judges whom the president sacked during a state of emergency in November.\nIf restored, the judges could overturn Musharraf's re-election as president in a parliamentary vote in October and effectively rule his grip on power illegal.\nA New York Times report that Zardari and Sharif intend to start negotiations with Islamic militants in the hope of ending a spate of bombings has caused further jitters in the West.\nAnalyst Askari said Gilani's nomination would improve stability in the short-term because he was acceptable to the PPP and its coalition partners, but that he faced major problems at home and abroad.\n\"The new PM faces a difficult challenge of balancing the domestic demand for a dialogue with the militants with American pressure for a tougher approach,\" Askari said.\n\"The US government is somewhat perturbed by the new government's plan to negotiate with the militant groups.\"", "url": "http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iH7bWcnBcU7a5p18KNpNxABLAv3Q", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080327133258/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iH7bWcnBcU7a5p18KNpNxABLAv3Q" } ]

[ { "language": "pl", "title": "Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej", "text": "W ramach prezentacji systemu przedstawiciele kierownictwa MON oraz grupa dziennikarzy mieli okazję zapoznać się z pracą systemów samolotu E-3A podczas specjalnie zorganizowanej symulacji.\nDzieląc się wrażeniami z lotu minister Sikorski podkreślił imponujące możliwości systemu, który pozwala śledzić jednocześnie ponad 300 celów w promieniu nawet 700 km, dzięki czemu może wykonywać zadania wykonywane obecnie przez kilkadziesiąt naziemnych stacji radarowych. Wyraził również głęboką satysfakcję z faktu, iż to właśnie dzięki decyzji obecnego rządu Polska może przystąpić do programu NAPMO. Minister zapowiedział, że jeszcze w tym roku będziemy współwłaścicielami 17 samolotów, co oprócz znaczącego wzmocnienia naszego potencjału obronnego umożliwi także transfer najnowocześniejszych technologii do krajowego sektora obronnego. Koszt uczestnictwa w programie wyniesie 6 mln zł w 2006 r. oraz kolejne 60 mln w roku przyszłym. Odpowiadając na pytania dziennikarzy o możliwość ulokowania w Powidzu bazy systemu AGS szef resortu ON powiedział, że taka decyzja byłaby widomym znakiem gotowości NATO do instalowania najnowocześniejszego uzbrojenia na terenie nowych krajów Sojuszu. Zapewnił także, iż o lokalizację takiej bazy w Polsce już teraz zabiegamy wszystkimi dostępnymi środkami, mimo że nie zapadła jeszcze decyzja co do ostatecznego kształtu systemu AGS.\nJak zaznaczył zastępca dowódcy Sił Powietrznych gen. broni pil. Lech Majewski dzięki trwającej od 2001 r. ścisłej współpracy z NAPMO już dzisiaj jesteśmy technicznie i personalnie przygotowani do pełnego wykorzystania oferowanych przez system możliwości.\nUczestniczący również w konferencji prasowej dyrektor NAPMA (NATO AEW&C Programme Management Agency) gen. Berndt Glowacki przedstawił historię i stan obecny programu zaznaczając przy tym, że jest on finansowany bezpośrednio ze składek krajów członkowskich, co przyczynia się do zwiększenia poczucia uczestnictwa w tej formule i w konsekwencji powoduje bardzo efektywne wykorzystanie posiadanych możliwości. Korzystając z okazji gen. Glowacki serdecznie powitał Polskę w gronie członków NAPMO oraz zaprosił nas do jak najaktywniejszego udziału w pracach organizacji.\nDowódca komponentu powietrznego systemu AWACS gen. Axel Tuttelmann podkreślił z kolei fakt, że samoloty E-3A w każdej chwili mogą podjąć działania operacyjne w dowolnym zakątku świata, a dowódca bazy w Geilenkirchen gen. Stephen Schmidt wyraził nadzieję, że wkrótce pod jego rozkazami znajdzie się także grupa żołnierzy z Polski.\n***\nPrezentacja samolotów wczesnego ostrzegania i wykrywania AWACS w 33. Bazie Lotniczej w Powidzu.\nMATERIAŁ PRASOWY\nW związku z toczącymi się negocjacjami o przystąpieniu Polski do NAPMO (NATO AEW&C Programme Management Organisation) - organizacji NATO powołanej do kierowania i zarządzania programem wczesnego ostrzegania i naprowadzania, 17 sierpnia w 33. Bazie Lotniczej goszczą dwa samoloty wczesnego ostrzegania i wykrywania AWACS.\nCelem wizyty samolotów E-3 w Powidzu jest prezentacja możliwości operacyjnych AWACS-a oraz przedstawienie aktualnego stanu prac nad udziałem Polski w NAPMO. Na pokładzie samolotów do Powidza przybyli:\n- szef delegacji gen. Berndt Glowacki – Dyrektor NAPMA (NATO AEW&C Programme Management Agency)\n- gen. Axel Tuttelmann – Dowódca Sił NAEW&CF\n- gen. Stephen Schmidt – Dowódca Bazy w Geilenkirchen.\nPodstawowym zadaniem systemu AWACS jest wczesne wykrywanie celów powietrznych oraz prowadzenie rozpoznania celów naziemnych i nawodnych. Bazę systemu stanowią samoloty E-3 SENTRY, wyposażone w stacje radiolokacyjne o bardzo dużym zasięgu oraz zautomatyzowany system łączności umożliwiający przekazywanie informacji o sytuacji powietrznej do naziemnych systemów dowodzenia obroną powietrzną. AWACS zbiera także dane o systemach radioelektronicznych przeciwnika.\nPrzystąpienie Polski do NAPMO oznacza szereg korzyści zarówno dla Sił Zbrojnych RP, jak i dla polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego.\n• Dzięki akcesji do NAPMO Polska stanie się pełnoprawnym użytkownikiem i współwłaścicielem 17 samolotów wczesnego ostrzegania i wykrywania AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System).\n• Siły Powietrzne będą mogły wycofać przestarzały sprzęt radiolokacyjny, którego modernizacja jest nieopłacalna lub niemożliwa, co według wstępnych szacunków powinno przynieść od 2008 r. ok. 50 - 60 mln zł oszczędności rocznie.\n• Szybciej zostanie osiągnięta pełna integracja narodowego systemu obrony powietrznej ze Zintegrowanym Systemem Obrony Powietrznej NATO.\n• Całe Siły Zbrojne RP uzyskają możliwość korzystania z informacji systemu AWACS w sytuacjach zagrożenia, kryzysu lub wojny.\n• Polacy, którzy obejmą stanowiska w NAPMA (NATO AEW&C Programme Management Agency), dowództwie i komponencie lotniczym zostaną w pełni wyszkoleni do wykorzystania wszystkich możliwości systemu AWACS.\n• W programach technicznych (modernizacyjnych) programu gwarantowany jest udział zakładów przemysłowych państwa członka NAPMO, którego skala zależy od procentowego udziału państwa w finansowaniu NAPMO i jest nie mniejsza od wpłaconych na ten cel kwot.\nKoszt udziału w programie wyniesie ok. 70 mln zł rocznie i będzie ponoszony przez resort ON. Ze względu na gwarantowany udział zakładów przemysłowych państwa-członka NAPMO w programach modernizacyjnych Polska może liczyć na zwrot ok. 30% wpłaconej sumy w formie udziału w offsecie bezpośrednim i ok. 70% z tytułu podwykonawstwa określonych elementów dla głównego kontrahenta.\nINFORMACJE DODATKOWE\nPowietrzne Siły Wczesnego Ostrzegania powołane w 1980 r. stacjonują w Geilenkirchen w Niemczech. Na wyposażeniu znajduje się 17 samolotów E-3A i 3 zmodyfikowane samoloty Boeing 707-320C przeznaczone do treningu i transportu. Personel składa się z przedstawicieli 13 państw członkowskich NAPMO. Oprócz głównej bazy korzysta także z wysuniętych baz operacyjnych w Turcji, Grecji i Włoszech oraz wysuniętego lotniska w Norwegii. W lipcu 1992 r. powstał brytyjski komponent operacyjny wchodzący w skład 8 Dywizjonu RAF w Waddington (Lincolnshire). Do wykonywania swoich misji używa on siedmiu samolotów Boeing E-3D i służy w nim tylko personel brytyjski Samolot E-3 SENTRY bazuje na projekcie Boeinga 707, budowanego od podstaw z przeznaczeniem dla systemu AWACS. Wyróżnikiem samolotu jest potężny radar umieszczony w dysku nad kadłubem – antena ma średnicę 9,1m i obraca się o 360 stopni 6 razy na minutę. Jeden samolot E-3A operując na pułapie ok. 9 km, z łatwością obserwuje samoloty i śmigłowce poruszające się na małych i dużych wysokościach, w promieniu - odpowiednio do 400 km i 700 km. Natomiast radar naziemny na takiej odległości wykryje obiekt latający dopiero wtedy, gdy wzniesie się on na wysokość powyżej 1 km. Radar samolotu E-3A (AWACS) obserwuje obszar ponad 312 tys. km2 , a więc równy powierzchni Polski. Aby osiągnąć pole radiolokacyjne, jakie generuje jeden samolot E-3A, konieczna jest praca ok. 300 stacji radiolokacyjnych. Cztery E-3A całkowicie kontrolują sytuację powietrzną nad Europą Środkową. W październiku 1994 roku zainicjowano program unowocześnienia i rozbudowy floty samolotów E-3 zapewniającej pracę systemu do roku 2025.\nSystem AWACS może być wykorzystywany zarówno w sytuacjach kryzysowych jak również w czasie ćwiczeń organizowanych przez NATO. Przykładem jest wykonywanie zadań przez natowskie samoloty systemu AWACS na rzecz wzmocnienia systemu obrony powietrznej Stanów Zjednoczonych po atakach terrorystycznych w USA. Samoloty AWACS zabezpieczały także międzynarodowe konferencje, m.in. nieformalny Szczyt NATO w Warszawie (23-25.09.02) i Szczyt NATO w Pradze (2002) . Od 2001 roku nad terytorium Polski, Połączone Centrum Operacji Powietrznych w Kalkar (Niemcy ) prowadzi comiesięczne treningi systemu obrony powietrznej z udziałem systemu AWACS. Treningi pozwalają na doskonalenie umiejętności polskich pilotów naprowadzanych przez nawigatorów systemu AWACS zgodnie z procedurami natowskimi. Aktualnie żadne polskie stanowiska dowodzenia OP, wydzielone do NATINEADS nie posiadają zdolności do zautomatyzowanego odbioru informacji o sytuacji powietrznej z systemu AWACS, jednak wprowadzenie w latach 2006-2007 systemu dowodzenia DUNAJ i urządzeń transmisji danych LINK 11 lub LINK 16 umożliwi automatyczny odbiór informacji o sytuacji powietrznej z systemu AWACS. Obecnie informacja o sytuacji powietrznej jest odbierana przez system ASOC.\nAktualnie na całym świecie użytkuje się 70 samolotów systemu AWACS: USA – 32 szt., Boeing – 1 egz. testowy, NATO – 17, Wielka Brytania – 7, Francja – 4, Arabia Saudyjska – 5, Japonia – 4 (na bazie samolotu Boeing 767).", "url": "http://www.wp.mil.pl/artykul_wiecej.php?idartykul=2133", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20060821154754/http://www.wp.mil.pl/artykul_wiecej.php?idartykul=2133" }, { "language": "pl", "title": "www.Rzeczpospolita.pl", "text": "KRAJ BEZPIECZEŃSTWO Latający radar pełen elektroniki będzie strzegł i ratował\nPolska pod skrzydłami jednego samolotu\nNaszpikowany elektroniką samolot wczesnego ostrzegania AWACS wyląduje w czwartek w Powidzu w Wielkopolsce.\nNa świecie jest około 70 samolotów AWACS. Większość z nich mają Stany Zjednoczone i inne państwa NATO (c) AP/NATO Takie samoloty od jesieni będą pilnować bezpieczeństwa na polskim niebie. Samolot E-3A - to supernowoczesna stacja radarowa, która lecąc na wysokości 9 kilometrów wykrywa wszystkie samoloty, pociski rakietowe, statki i wynurzone okręty podwodne z odległości nawet 700 kilometrów. Jeden samolot AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System - powietrzny system ostrzegania i kontroli) może obserwować obszar ponad 312 tysięcy kilometrów kwadratowych (tyle wynosi powierzchnia Polski). Skomplikowany system radarowy umożliwia wykrycie 1,5 tys. obiektów (samolotów, rakiet, okrętów) i śledzenie 400 z nich. Współpracuje z innymi wojskowymi maszynami, np. wielozadaniowymi F-16, które kupiła polska armia: podaje im namiary samolotów przeciwnika i na bieżąco informuje o sytuacji na polu walki. To nie wszystko - AWACS można też z powodzeniem wykorzystywać w akcjach ratowniczych. Pojawienie się tego typu samolotów nad Polską na stałe będzie możliwe po przystąpieniu naszego kraju do natowskiej organizacji NAPMO, która od 1980 roku zarządza patrolami 17 latających stacji radarowych. O przystąpieniu Polski do NAPMO zdecydował w marcu szef MON Radosław Sikorski. Polska będzie 14. krajem NATO w tej organizacji. - Obecnie trwają ostatnie szczegółowe uzgodnienia. Członkiem NAPMO staniemy się jesienią i wtedy rozpoczną się stałe loty nad naszym krajem - mówi rzecznik szefa MON Piotr Paszkowski. Za obecność AWACS nad Polską zapłacimy ok. 80 mln złotych rocznie. Pieniądze w dużej mierze mają się zwrócić, bo dzięki obecności latającego radaru polskie wojsko będzie mogło zlikwidować część starych i mało efektywnych naziemnych stacji radarowych. Nasz kraj musi też przygotować lotniska i sprzęt na przyjęcie AWACS. Wprawdzie samoloty E-3A stacjonują w niemieckiej bazie w Geilenkirchen, ale na wypadek awarii muszą mieć możliwość lądowania w Polsce. To nie pierwszy lot AWACS nad Polską. Pod koniec lat 90. taki samolot przyleciał do naszego kraju i wojskowi mogli poznać jego działanie. Samoloty E-3A wykonały też kilka lotów nad Polską w 2000 roku. W tym roku, podczas pielgrzymki do Polski papieża Benedykta XVI, wypożyczony samolot AWACS krążył na niebie w okolicach Poznania. - To znakomity sposób na zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa w powietrzu. Dobrze wiedzą o tym Niemcy, którzy użyli AWACS podczas ostatnich mistrzostw świata w piłce nożnej - mówi Piotr Paszkowski. Na całym świecie jest około 70 samolotów AWACS. Większość z nich mają Stany Zjednoczone (33) i inne państwa NATO. Poza nimi latające radary kupiły m.in. Arabia Saudyjska i Japonia.

That’s the conclusion of scientists who used data gathered by India’s first lunar mission to determine whether there may be widespread moisture locked in lunar soils.\nThe upper few millimetres of the moon’s surface contains molecules of water (H2O), and hydroxyl (OH) — an indication that water formation may be an ongoing process at the moon’s surface, the researchers said on Thursday in the journal Science. “When we say ‘water on the moon’, we are not talking about lakes, oceans or even puddles,” the study’s lead author Carle Pieters, a planetary geologist at Rhode Island’s Brown University, said. “Water on the moon means molecules of water and hydroxyl that interact with molecules of rock and dust specifically in the top millimetres of the moon’s surface.”\nThe findings open the way for astronauts on lunar missions to harvest water from the moon’s surface, according to the paper. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) on June 18 launched two probes to search for frozen water on the moon.\nDiscovering the substance would be like finding a goldmine, the agency said at the time, putting the cost of transporting a bottle of water to the moon at $50,000.\n“Nasa wants to set up a permanent base on the moon, and they want to live off the land,” Colin Pillinger, professor of planetary science at the UK’s Open University in Milton Keynes, said on Thursday in a phone interview. “To do that, they need water.”\nPillinger, who this year co-wrote a study for Nasa about extracting water and other compounds from the lunar surface, said physical samples will be needed to prove the conclusions from Thursday’s study, and that extracting water will be a challenge.\n“Technically it’s easy, but logistically it’s awfully difficult because it takes a lot of energy,” said Pillinger. “If you want a long-term lunar base, then you go to the poles” because no refrigerator will be necessary to condense water vapour that has been boiled out of the soil, he said.\nCraters at the lunar poles haven’t been exposed to sunlight in billions of years and probably have temperatures of minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 degrees Celsius), according to Nasa. That has led planetary scientists to theorise water ice may be present in those dark areas.\nAs many as 770 water molecules could be present in every million molecules in the thin top layer of the moon’s soil, according to Thursday’s paper. Brown University said in a statement the proportion could be as high as 1,000 per million. The data was gathered by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 craft. “The data obtained from these instruments show there is evidence of water,” S Satish, spokesperson for the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), said in a phone interview.\nThe researchers concluded the most likely origin of the water is as a result of the so-called solar wind, laden with charged hydrogen particles, impacting with the oxygen-rich lunar soil.\n1|2|Next > Read business stories in हिंदी ગુજરાતી Print EMail Discuss Share Save Comment Single page view Text:", "url": "http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Moon-a-lot-wetter-than-you-thought/articleshow/5053292.cms", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090927141141/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Moon-a-lot-wetter-than-you-thought/articleshow/5053292.cms" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Hindustan Times", "text": "Aug 15, 2011 12:21 IST\nHollywood actress Cameron Diaz says she would like to work in Bollywood but finds it too tough for herself.

Trump y su equipo llevan litigando desde el mismo día de los comicios. Por el momento han ganado alguna batalla en los tribunales, pero nunca han logrado alcanzar su objetivo de parar el conteo de votos.\nSin embargo, tanto los tribunales como numerosas autoridades, incluidos funcionarios federales y políticos estatales republicanos, han descartado que existan pruebas que respalden tales acusaciones.\nEn un esfuerzo por restaurar la confianza de los estadounidenses en los comicios, la semana pasada la CISA emitió un comunicado en el que se aseguraba que “la elección del 3 de noviembre fue la más segura en la historia de Estados Unidos\".\nEs por este preciso comunicado que el presidente Trump decidió despedir este martes, \"con efecto inmediato\" a Krebs.\nEn un tuit posterior, Trump fue más allá al asegurar que \"lo único seguro en la Elección 2020 fue que era virtualmente impenetrable a potencias extranjeras\".\n\"En ese sentido, la Administración Trump se otorga un gran crédito\", añade el mandatario, quien lamenta que \"los demócratas de la izquierda radical\" y \"otros\" tal vez fueron \"más poderosos\" y lograron interferir, sin bien no aclara cómo las autoridades federales pueden haber tenido éxito a la hora de detectar amenazas extranjeras pero, sin embargo, son incapaces de encontrar pruebas que confirmen el \"fraude masivo\" del que habla Trump desde hace semanas.\nEl propio Krebs también recurrió a su cuenta de Twitter para reaccionar a su despido: \"Ha sido un honor servir.

Konzernchef Löscher will demnächst zusammen mit Aufsichtsratschef Gerhard Cromme zur US-Börsenaufsicht SEC nach New York fliegen, um dort die Bemühungen von Siemens zu schildern, den bislang größten Korruptionsskandal in Deutschland aus eigener Kraft aufzuklären. Der Konzern mit Stammsitz in München unterliegt seit der Notierung an der New Yorker Börse im März 2001 der dortigen Aufsicht. In Aufsichtsratskreisen wird eine Geldstrafe in Milliardenhöhe befürchtet. Aus dem Kapitaleignerflügel des Kontrollgremiums hieß es am Freitag, die Einigung mit Schäfer bringe Siemens stark voran. Man könne gegenüber der SEC dokumentieren, dass der Konzern sich mit aller Kraft und ohne Rücksicht auf frühere Vorstände darum bemühe, die Verstöße selbst vollständig aufzuklären. Nur mit dieser Marschroute werde es unter Umständen möglich sein, das Strafmaß bei der SEC in Grenzen zu halten.\nDer richtige Zeitpunkt Schäfer war 1976 zu Siemens gekommen und hatte dort lange Zeit in der Rechts- und in der Steuerabteilung gearbeitet, bevor er 1992 zum Justitiar aufstieg und von Oktober 2004 bis Ende 2006 die Aufgabe des Antikorruptionsbeauftragten übernahm. In dieser Position oblag es ihm auch, Hinweisen auf Schmiergelddelikte intern nachzugehen und den Vorstand über entsprechende Erkenntnisse zu unterrichten. Dies habe er, so das heutige Management, nicht ausreichend getan - ein Vorwurf, den Schäfers Anwalt Schulz vor dem Arbeitsgericht vehement zurückwies. Sein Mandant habe dem damaligen Vorstand \"umfassend, detailliert und rechtzeitig\" berichtet.\nSein Mandant, so Schulz in einem Schriftsatz an das Arbeitsgericht, könne im Detail belegen, wie er intern auf \"systematische und planmäßige\" Verstöße hingewiesen habe. Den Prüfungsausschuss des Aufsichtsrats habe Schäfer dann \"im Namen des Vorstands\" informiert.\nFührende Aufsichtsräte hatten daraufhin den Eindruck gewonnen, Schäfer sei vom früheren Zentralvorstand oder zumindest von einzelnen Vorständen offenbar angehalten worden, das Kontrollgremium unvollständig über Hinweise auf Gesetzesverstöße zu informieren. Nur mit Schäfers Hilfe könne man ermitteln, welcher Top-Manager was gewusst und vielleicht sogar verschleiert habe. Falls Schäfer auspacke, müssten etliche Mitglieder des früheren Zentralvorstands vor seinen Enthüllungen zittern, äußerten einflussreiche Aufsichtsräte.\nVor dem Arbeitsgericht hatte Siemens Schäfer aufgefordert, alles zu sagen, was er wisse. Schäfers Anwalt entgegnete: \"Wir legen alles weitere dann vor, wenn wir es für richtig halten.\" Dieser Zeitpunkt ist nun gekommen.", "url": "http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/artikel/431/147088/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071208204123/http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/artikel/431/147088/" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Einigung mit Ex-Chefermittler", "text": "SIEMENS\nSiemens hat gute Chancen, bei der Aufklärung der Schmiergeldaffäre einen großen Schritt weiterzukommen.

Bereits seit längerem hätten US-Anwälte im Zusammenhang mit dem Siemens-Korruptionsverfahren das Ausscheiden von Schäfer gefordert, berichtet das Nachrichtenmagazin. Da dieser aber nicht zu einer gütlichen Trennung im gegenseitigen Einvernehmen bereit gewesen sei, würde Siemens ihm nun die Kündigung aussprechen.\nSchäfer war im November 2006 von seinen Aufgaben als Chef der Compliance-Abteilung entbunden worden. Grund waren Zweifel an der Berichtstreue von Schäfer: Aufsichtsrat und Vorstand gehen davon aus, dass Schäfer sie nicht umfassend und rechtzeitig über Schmiergeld, schwarze Kassen und Korruption informiert habe. Schäfer selbst hatte stets behauptet, sein Verhalten sei einwandfrei gewesen.\nLaut Vorbericht des Spiegel könnte Schäfer nun im Siemens-Korruptionsskandal eine Notiz zum Verhängnis werden, in der er bereits zur Jahreswende 2004/2005 auf fragwürdige Konten der Siemens-Kommunikationssparte in Liechtenstein aufmerksam gemacht hatte. Ein vertraulicher Vermerk der Compliance-Abteilung vom 30. Dezember 2004 (\"Privileged and Confidential\") weist auf die Entdeckungswahrscheinlichkeit von schwarzen Kassen in Liechtenstein hin, dem argumentativ begegnet werden müsse. Schäfer habe handschriftlich seinem Chef, dem Personalvorstand Jürgen Radomski, eine Nachricht zukommen lassen mit dem Inhalt: \"Wir bilden da - prophylaktisch - einen inoffiziellen Krisenstab.\"\nDummerweise wurde der Aufsichtsrat bei seiner turnusmäßigen Sitzung Ende Januar 2005 nicht über diesen Vorgang informiert, sondern erst auf der Sitzung vom am 25. April 2005, als drei Monate später. Schäfer selbst sagte, er könne sich an eine solche Notiz an Jürgen Radomski nicht erinnern. Interessant dürfte es werden, wenn Albrecht Schäfer, was zu erwarten ist, gegen seine Kündigung klagt. In diesem Fall bekäme die Korruptionsaffäre auch noch eine arbeitsrechtliche Komponente, in die auch noch Jürgen Radomski und eventuell auch noch weitere Vorstände hineingezogen werden dürften.\nUm Albrecht Schäfer hatte es Ende 2006 im Konzern ein unübersichtliches Hickhack gegeben, die das ganze Chaos bei Siemens offenbarte. So soll das Unternehmen eine Woche nach den ersten Hausdurchsuchungen im November vergangenen Jahres den Leiter ihrer Anti-Korruptionsabteilung, Albrecht Schäfer, zum Chef einer \"Compliance Task Force\" gemacht machen, obwohl dieser zu jenem Zeitpunkt von der Staatsanwaltschaft als Beschuldigter geführt wurde.\nWie das Hamburger Magazin \"stern\" seinerzeit berichtete, war Schäfer am 17. November 2006 von der Staatsanwaltschaft München I als Beschuldigter eingetragen worden, nachdem er in Vernehmungen eines verhafteten Siemens-Mitarbeiters als Mitwisser und Vertuscher belastet worden war. Trotzdem teilte Siemens am 23. November in einer Pressemitteilung seine Ernennung zum Chef der Compliance Task Force mit, die für die verschärfte Einhaltung der Anti-Korruptions-Regeln sorgen sollte.\nLaut Stern hatte man sich offenbar zu diesem Schritt von der Politik ermutigt gefühlt, denn am 22. November war Albrecht Schäfer zusammen mit Siemens-Anwalt Eckhart Müller im Münchner Justizministerium vorstellig geworden. Dort seien sie vom Amtschef persönlich empfangen worden.\n\"Die Fa. Siemens wollte ihre Bereitschaft zur Unterstützung im Siemens-Ermittlungsverfahren bekunden\", nannte das Bayerische Justizministerium dem Stern den offiziellen Grund des Treffens. Für das Ministerium sei \"der Beschuldigtenstatus des Herrn Dr. Schäfer kein Thema\" gewesen, dies habe man \"zu Beginn des Gesprächs ausdrücklich erklärt\".\nZwei Wochen später, am 8. Dezember, stellte die Staatsanwaltschaft die Ermittlungen gegen Albrecht Schäfer wieder ein. Laut Bayerischem Justizministerium sei \"der Tatvorwurf\" vom \"Hauptkomplex des Verfahrens abtrennbar\" gewesen und habe sich \"nicht bestätigt\".\nTrotzdem wurde Albrecht Schäfer Ende Dezember als Leiter der Anti-Korruptionsabteilung und Task Force-Chef abgelöst. Amerikanische Anwälte und Korruptions-Fachleute, die zurzeit bei Siemens intern an der Aufarbeitung der Affäre arbeiten, hätten entsprechenden Druck gemacht. Laut einem Insider, der im Stern zitiert wird, befürchteten die Amerikaner, dass \"die Aufklärung unter politischen Gesichtspunkten begrenzt wird.\"\nDer Siemens-Skandal im Überblick\nCover-Interview: Siemens und die organisierte Kriminalität\nHier lesen Sie alles zum Siemens-Skandal\nHier erfahren Sie mehr zu Peter Löscher:\nKommentar: Warum Peter Löscher? - Darum Peter Löscher!\nDie fünf Aufgaben des Peter Löscher\nZum Lebenslauf von Peter Löscher\nIG Metall setzt große Hoffnungen in Peter Löscher\nHat Siemens mit Peter Löscher eine Zukunft?\nSiemens ordnet seinen Vorstand neu\n(Spiegel, Stern, Siemens: ra)", "url": "http://www.compliancemagazin.de/markt/personen/siemens300707.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080621174204/http://www.compliancemagazin.de/markt/personen/siemens300707.html" } ]

Nove estudantes de 14 e 15 anos morreram no local. \"Ele simplesmente atirou para todos os lados\", disse à revista “Spiegel” um porta-voz da polícia.\nO criminoso ainda matou três professores e uma pessoa numa clínica vizinha antes de fugir de carro com um refém para o centro da cidade. Perseguido pela polícia, ele morreu durante tiroteio em um supermercado na região de Esslingen. Na troca de tiros, duas pessoas morreram e dois policiais ficaram gravemente feridos.\nSegundo a polícia, o jovem era ex-aluno da escola Albertville, que tem 580 estudantes. Autoridades locais disseram que ele não se destacava por qualquer tipo de comportamento suspeito. Depois de deixar a escola, no ano passado, ele iniciou uma formação profissional. O motivo dos ataques ainda é desconhecido.\nA escola foi evacuada e isolada logo após o episódio e as testemunhas receberam atendimento médico e psicológico.\nA cidade de Winnenden tem 27.600 habitantes e fica 20 quilômetros ao nordeste de Stuttgart. O histórico município mercantil tem origens que remontam ao século 12 e é sede da firma alemã Kaercher, renomada fabricante de aspiradores de pó e lavadoras de alta pressão.\nRepercussão\n\"Sou diretor de polícia em Baden-Wuerttemberg há 19 anos e não me recordo de nenhum ato tão terrível quanto este\", disse Erwin Hetger, chefe de polícia do Estado do sudoeste da Alemanha.\nUm porta-voz do governo alemão em Berlim se disse \"profundamente chocado\" com o incidente. Tanto o presidente Horst Köhler quanto a chanceler federal Angela Merkel lamentaram o ocorrido.\n\"Como todo mundo na Alemanha, estou horrorizada, transtornada e atônita com o que aconteceu no colégio Alberville\", disse Merkel, que ofereceu todo o apoio de seu governo às autoridades locais. \"É um dia de luto para toda a Alemanha\", acrescentou.\nDe acordo com a agência alemã Deutsche Welle, o porta-voz do governo em Berlim, Ulrich Wilhelm, acentuou \"o profundo pesar e consternação\" da premiê. A ministra alemã da Família, Ursula von der Leyen, assinalou a necessidade de uma melhor precaução de casos como esse no país, entre outros através de uma cooperação mais estreita entre as escolas e os pais.\nOutras tragédias\nTiroteios em escolas chocaram a Alemanha nos últimos anos. Em 2006, um homem mascarado carregando explosivos nas roupas e portando rifles abriu fogo em uma escola na cidade de Emsdetten, no oeste do país, ferindo pelo menos 11 pessoas antes de cometer suicídio.\nEm abril de 2002, a Alemanha sofreu o pior incidente do gênero quando um homem matou 17 pessoas, incluindo a si próprio, em uma escola na cidade de Erfurt, no leste do país.A última morte foi divulgada no iníciod a tarde desta quarta-feira. A vítima é um aluno que havia sido9 baleado durante a manhã.", "url": "http://www.abril.com.br/noticias/mundo/policia-diz-matou-atirador-invadiu-escola-alemanha-427025.shtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090314062508/http://www.abril.com.br/noticias/mundo/policia-diz-matou-atirador-invadiu-escola-alemanha-427025.shtml" } ]

The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss technical details of Iran's missile program, said Tehran has demonstrated shorter-range solid-propellent missiles in the past.\nSolid-propellent rockets are a concern because they can be fueled in advance and moved or hidden in silos, the official said. Liquid-propellent rockets have to be fueled and fired quickly, which makes preparations for launches easier to monitor and would allow a preemptive strike if necessary.\nBut according to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who Wednesday provided the first official U.S. confirmation of the Iranian launch, the Iranian missile had a range of 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers.\nThat translates to 1,200 to 1,500 miles, putting Israel, U.S. bases in the Mideast, and parts of Eastern Europe within striking distance.\n\"The information that I have read indicates that it was a successful flight test,\" Gates told the House Appropriations Committee nearly eight hours after the test was announced by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.\nGates added that \"because of some of the problems they've had with their engines we think at least at this stage of the testing we think it's probably closer to the lower end of that range. Whether it hit the target that it was intended for, I have not seen any information on that.\"\nU.S. officials said that government analysts and other specialists were still assessing information from the launch.\n\"Obviously, that's concerning,\" White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said of the launch.\nIran's launch comes less than a month before Iran's presidential election and just two days after President Barack Obama declared a readiness to seek deeper international sanctions against Tehran if it did not respond positively to U.S. attempts to open negotiations on its nuclear program. Obama said earlier this week that Tehran had until the end of the year to show it wanted to engage with Washington.\nBut both U.S. government officials and independent American missile experts said Wednesday that the Iranian missile itself did not appear to be a new model.\nCharles Vick, a senior technical analyst for GlobalSecurity.org, analyzed photos and videotape of the launch released by Iran.\n\"I'm not all that impressed,\" Vick said. \"It's just another test that confirms they've got the system that was operational last summer.\"\n\"Obviously, we've seen reports,\" Gibbs said. \"You all know the concerns that the president has about Iran's missile development programs .... and the strong belief that the pursuit of those programs does not strengthen the security of Iran but instead make them less safe.\"\n\"Obviously, the president has been long concerned about it,\" he said. Gibbs noted that Obama and visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had \"both agreed on Monday that engaging the people and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, something that hasn't been tried for the past many years, is something that makes sense.\"\nSome dozen hours after the test was reportedly conducted, numerous U.S. defense and intelligence officials declined to even acknowledge the Iranian launch had occurred.\nSome referred calls to the White House and State Department, a sign of how politically sensitive the development is to the Obama administration and its continuing efforts to deal with Iran's reported efforts to build nuclear weapons.\nSecretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, appearing Wednesday morning before the Senate Appropriations Committee, said nothing directly about the Iranian launch when Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., raised the issue during questioning.\nBut Clinton did discuss the subject generally, saying that a nuclear-armed Iran would \"spark an arms race\" in the Middle East.\nShe referred to a host of threats to the United States that she said are \"daunting.\" And Clinton reiterated that the administration opposes Iran getting a nuclear weapons capability and that it is relying for now on diplomatic pressure to stop it.\nShe described a nuclear capability as an \"extraordinary threat.\" And Clinton said that the U.S. goal is \"to persuade the Iranian regime that they will actually be less secure if they proceed with their nuclear weapons program.\"\nIn a breakfast meeting with reporters, Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy spoke in general terms about Iran's missile program, saying that the Iranian efforts pose \"a security threat to the region that we will have to, probably, to deal with it.\"\nFlournoy said the administration is trying to present Iran with \"a very fundamental choice between staying on the current path they are on, which I think is only going to hamper their security in the long term ... versus taking another path where if they were to reject support for terrorism and extremism, reject nuclear weapons, they could actually be on a path that would do a lot more for their ultimate security.\"\nTrita Parsi, President and Founder of the National Iranian American Council, said Wednesday that the launch only complicates Obama's efforts to convince Iran to abandon its nuclear program and bring stability to the Mideast.\n\"With Israel pressing for short deadlines for diplomacy followed by sanctions and military action, with Iran testing additional missiles and continuing its tough talk, the Obama administration's best friend in this process will be patience and endurance,\" Parsi said.\nAssociated Press writers Anne Gearan, Lara Jakes and Matthew Lee contributed to this report.\nCopyright © 2009 The Associated Press.

[ { "language": "de", "title": "Fußball-WM 2019 der Frauen: Deutschland besiegt Nigeria", "text": "Minuten der VARheit: Mitte der ersten Halbzeit verbrachte Schiedsrichterin Yoshimi Yamashita mehr Zeit vorm Bildschirm als auf dem Platz. Das ausdauernde Studium der kritischen Szenen hatte allerdings nur eine 50-prozentige Trefferquote zur Folge: Svenja Huths Abseitsposition beim Kopfballtreffer von Alexandra Popp (20. Minute) hätte sie ahnden müssen, beim 2:0 erkannte sie zurecht ein Foul von Evelyn Nwabuoku im Strafraum an Lina Magull - Sara Däbritz verwandelte den Strafstoß sicher (27.).\nDas Ergebnis: Auch dank dieser Entscheidungen hat Deutschland seine Achtelfinalpartie gegen Nigeria 3:0 (2:0) gewonnen und steht bei der achten WM zum achten Mal im Viertelfinale. Hier geht es zum Spielbericht.\nDie erste Hälfte: Bereits nach 50 Sekunden faltete Verena Schweers ihre Mitspielerinnen zusammen. Zu zögerlich war das Zweikampfverhalten der Deutschen direkt nach dem Anpfiff. Das Wachrütteln wirkte: Magull hatte die erste Chance der Partie, vergab aber mit einem Linksschuss aus zehn Metern (6.). Als die Begegnung in Grenoble zu ermüden drohte, kamen die beschriebenen Szenen zum 1:0 und 2:0. Es folgten zahlreiche rustikale Momente, Nigeria war allerdings technisch zu limitiert, um die weiterhin wacklig wirkende deutsche Defensive in Bedrängnis zu bringen.\nKeine Marozsán, keine Oshoala: Nicht nur bei den Deutschen fehlte die beste Spielerin, auch Nigeria musste auf seinen Star verzichten. Nach einer Fußblessur im dritten Gruppenspiel gegen Frankreich musste die 24 Jahre alte Asisat Oshoala draußen bleiben. Die beste Angreiferin des Afrikameisters steht beim FC Barcelona unter Vertrag und kam auch im Champions-League-Finale zum Einsatz.\nPopps 100: Die schönsten Geschenke macht man sich ja eh selbst. Dachte sich wohl auch Alexandra Popp, die in ihrem 100. Länderspiel zum 1:0 traf. Es war ihr 48. Treffer im Nationaltrikot. Nach der Pause rückte sie wie schon zuvor in diesem Turnier aus der vordersten Reihe ins zentrale Mittelfeld, um die Partie zu beruhigen.\nDie zweite Hälfte: Die eingewechselte WM-Debütantin Rasheedat Ajibade sorgte mit einem prächtigen Lauf auf der linken Seite für Aufregung, ihren Flachpass in die Mitte verpasste Desiree Oparanozie nur um eine Fußlänge (50.). Es war der Startschuss einer engagierten Viertelstunde des Außenseiters. Deutschland konterte nur zögerlich, gute Chancen gab es keine bis in die Schlussphase hinein. Da verzog erst Däbritz freistehend (79.), bevor Lea Schüller aus halbrechter Position unhaltbar abschloss (81.) - ihr erstes Turniertor und die Entscheidung in diesem Spiel. Es war das erste Tor der Deutschen in diesem Turnier, dass nicht nach einer Flanke beziehungsweise einem Standard fiel. Sondern einem individuellen Fehler.\nHoch geht immer: In der Gruppenphase hatte Deutschland alle Tore nach Standards oder hohen Bällen erzielt. Überraschenderweise führte das Team von Bundestrainerin Martina Voss-Tecklenburg zunächst alle Eck- und Freistöße flach beziehungsweise in solch verwirrenden Varianten aus, dass teilweise selbst die Spielerinnen nicht wussten, wie ihnen geschah. Als dann doch mal eine Ecke hoch in den Strafraum kam, fiel prompt das 1:0.\nDie Null steht: Viertes Spiel bei einer WM-Endrunde, zum vierten Mal kein Gegentor - das gelang den deutschen Frauen zuletzt beim Turnier 2007 in China. Acht Tage später war man nach zwei weiteren Zu-Null-Spielen Weltmeister.\nDer Jubel bleibt: Zum ersten Mal seit 20 Jahren hatten die Nigerianerinnen die Vorrunde überstanden. Die Freude darüber gehörte zu den bislang schönsten Szenen dieses Turniers.\nPARTY LIKE IT'S 1999!\nHere's the moment @NGSuper_Falcons found out they're heading to their 1st #FIFAWWC knockout stage in 20 years. ❤️\n(via @FIFAWWC_NGA) pic.twitter.com/tdZuu08Bo1 — FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) 20.

Länderspiel die Führung. Für die weiteren Treffer sorgten Sara Däbritz per Foulelfmeter (27.) und Lea Schüller (82.). Auch im vierten WM-Spiel blieb die DFB-Elf damit ohne Gegentor. Die DFB-Frauen treffen nun in der Runde der letzten Acht am kommenden Samstag in Rennes auf den Sieger der Partie Schweden gegen Kanada, der am Montag in Paris ermittelt wird.\nDer amtierende Afrikameister aus Nigeria begann mutig und kam in der 2. Minute zum ersten Torschuss. Der Ball von Francisca Ordega war allerdings kein Problem für Keeperin Almuth Schult. Die deutsche Elf hatte in der 6. Minute die große Chance zur Führung, als Lina Magull nach einer eigentlich missglückten Freistoßvariante doch noch aus kurzer Distanz zum Schuss kam, aber geblockt wurde.\nZwar hatte die deutsche Auswahl mehr Ballbesitz, spielte jedoch oft zu ungenau und zu kompliziert nach vorn. Das betraf auch die Standards. Als sich die Spielerinnen dann einmal für eine direkte Variante entschieden, fiel die Führung: Eine Ecke von Magull köpfte Popp zu ihrem zweiten Turniertor ein. Der Videoassistent kontrollierte Popps Treffer auf eine mögliche Abseitsstellung. Die japanische Schiedsrichterin Yoshimi Yamashita sah jedoch keine Regelwidrigkeit. Nach einem Foul an Magull im Strafraum kam der Videobeweis erneut zum Einsatz und es gab Elfmeter, den Däbritz sicher verwandelte. Es war ihr dritter Treffer in drei Spielen in Folge.\nDanach ging Nigeria deutlich offensiver vor und wäre kurz nach der Pause fast zum Anschlusstor gekommen. Die eingewechselte Rasheedat Ajibade kam am Fünfmeterraum zum Schuss, Desire Oparanozie verfehlte den Ball mit ihrer Grätsche nur knapp. Die deutsche Elf beschränkte sich bei hohen Temperaturen meist auf das Nötigste, spielte ihre Kontermöglichkeiten zu schlecht aus – bis Schüller in der Schlussphase die Entscheidung gelang.\nNorwegen - Australien (4:1)\nNach einer dramatischen Partie besiegten die Norwegerinnen die Australierinnen im Elfmeterschießen mit einem 4:1 (1:1). Nach den regulären 90 Minuten stand es im Achtelfinalspiel unentschieden. Isabell Herlovsen brachte die Norwegerinnen in der 31. Minute in Führung. Doch Elise Kellond-Knight (83.) schoss die Matildas in der von der deutschen Schiedsrichterin Riem Hussein geleiteten Partie mit einer direkt verwandelten Ecke in die Verlängerung. Dort sah die Australierin Alanna Kennedy (104. Minute/Notbremse) die Rote Karte, so dass die Mannschaft von Ante Milicic in Unterzahl durchhalten musste.\nIm Elfmeterkrimi hatten die Norwegerinnen dann die besseren Nerven. Lediglich Stephanie Catley konnte für Australien treffen.

Minute), Australien glich durch Elise Kellond-Knight aus (83.).\nNicht einmal 30 Sekunden waren gespielt, da hätte Australiens Starspielerin Sam Kerr ihr Team fast in Führung gebracht. Am linken Strafraumeck entledigte sie sich mit einer Körpertäuschung ihrer Gegenspielerin, zog nach innen und schoss nur knapp am linken Pfosten vorbei. Wenige Minuten später war es ihre Sturmpartnerin Hayley Raso, die nach einem schönen Doppelpass im gegnerischen Strafraum Norwegens Torfrau Ingrid Hjelmseth prüfte (6.).\nAustralien drückte, Norwegen traf: Karina Saevik schickte mit einem starken Pass Herlovsen, die vom schlechten Stellungsspiel Alanna Kennedys profitierte und frei vor Williams stark ins rechte Eck verwandelte (31.).\nAusgleich durch eine direkt verwandelte Ecke\nDann wieder Aufregung auf der Gegenseite: Nachdem Maria Thorisdottir kurz vor der Pause der Ball an den Arm (oder war es noch der Oberkörper?) sprang, entschied Schiedsrichterin Riem Hussein zunächst auf Strafstoß.
