EIN BERÜHMTER Vers der deutschen Dichtung lautet: „Und grüß mich nicht unter den Linden“.
Der jüdisch-deutsche Dichter Heinrich Heine bittet seine Geliebte, ihn nicht in der Öffentlichkeit zu „blamieren“, indem sie ihn auf der Flaniermeile Berlins grüßt.
Among the Gazans prevented from traveling ahead of Friday’s marathon in the West Bank was reigning champion and Olympian Nader al-Masri. Al-Masri has been refused entry into the West Bank in the past. In 2015 he appealed to the Israeli High Court through Gisha, an Israeli NGO specializing in Palestinian freedom of movement.

Das deutsche Engagement mobilisierte weltweite Skepsis. Uno-Generalsekretär Javier Pérez de Cuéllar mahnte, eine unkoordinierte Anerkennung könne die Friedensbemühungen seines Sondergesandten Cyrus Vance unterlaufen, während das US-Außenministerium einen neuen deutschen „Führungsanspruch“ in Europa beobachtete. Und die Briten fühlten sich düpiert, weil doch eigentlich ihr Lord Carrington für Frieden sorgen sollte.

One third of the artists presented would be Greek in 2017-2019. But none in 2016. Fabre justified his decision saying he “has not had the necessary time to prepare the Greek proposals.” Jan Fabre was appointed by the current government, which ousted the previous director, Giorgos Loukos, from the role of deciding the festival’s artistic content.
Personnel working at Greek public hospitals symbolically “occupied” the Health Ministry in Athens on Friday morning and closed the entrance with chains. The Panhellenic Federation of Workers in Public Hospitals (POEDIN) said: “A year ago the Prime Minister promised 4,500 recruits and increased funding. Nothing was materialized, funding declined, while data shows that employees at Public Hospitals are 2,500 people less than last year.”
They estimated that marches in Paris, Marseille, and Toulouse gathered over 100,000 people, and tens of thousands of people in Nantes, Bordeaux, and Montpellier.
Das auffälligste Merkmal des amerikanischen Präsidentschaftswahlkampfes 2016 ist das nahezu völlige Fehlen von Diskussionen über das Thema, das für die Bevölkerung der USA und der ganzen Welt besonders wichtig ist und drohend über allen anderen aufragt: der eskalierende militärische Konflikt, der die Welt in einen neuen Weltkrieg ziehen könnte.
Der schwarze-braune Brandschaden geht oberhalb der Türklinke los. Auf beiden Seiten, sowohl an der Tür wie auch am Türrahmen, wird der Schaden gleichförmig größer. Die Türkante ist dagegen unbeschädigt, das zeigt das unbeschädigte helle Holz. Auch das lässt schließen, dass die Türkante im Türrahmen vor Brand und heißen Russ geschützt war. Der betreffende Bereich nochmals ausgeschnitten und vergrößert:
Fakt ist: Weder Gabriel noch irgendein anderer führender deutscher Politiker hat die Absicht, die Rüstungsexporte spürbar einzuschränken – im Gegenteil. Die eigentliche Frage, der dieser Artikel nachgehen will, ist daher: Weshalb ist dies der Fall?
Schick äußerte sich in dem Interview auch zu Präsident Baschar al-Assad und den Friedensbemühungen im Bürgerkrieg. „Ohne ihn wird es nicht gehen“, sagte der Erzbischof. Assad habe Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung und einen großen Machteinfluss. Ohne ihn eine Lösung zu suchen würde dazu führen, dass die verfeindeten Bevölkerungsgruppen noch weiter zerfielen und es noch mehr Kämpfe gäbe. Auch andere Gruppen außer Assads Armee hätten „Menschenrechtsverletzungen en masse“ begangen.
„The unilateral PYD’s [the Kurdish Democratic Union Party] declaration on federalization in the northern cities dictated by the exclusion of Kurds from the [intra-Syrian] talks was not very appropriate and not helping in finding a political solution. However, should the Syrian people and the Kurds to decide they want to decentralize, this matter must be taken to vote,“ Samir Aita said.
„Russians, to their credit, have said they are open to the idea of federation. Kurds will become the beneficiaries of it. It would be good for Assad as well even if he is in denial,“ Xulam said.
The Kurds were willing to cooperate with Assad, provided he did not try and re-impose a centralized state on them, and they were happy to work with Russia against the same enemies, Xulam explained.
„Das betrifft nicht nur einzelne Personen. Er (der türkische Präsident Erdogan- Anm. d. Red.) finanziert die Terroristen über Saudi-Arabien, Katar und natürlich über die Türkei. Er macht Geschäfte mit dem von der Dschihadistenmiliz Daesh entwendeten Öl und beschießt zugleich mit Artillerie die syrische Armee, um den Terroristen zu helfen“, so Assad.
Ihm zufolge haben die Türkei und Saudi-Arabien schon „zu Beginn des Syrien-Krieges alle möglichen roten Linien überschritten“.
„These negotiations should be only inclusive … including Kurds, to find a really lasting solution … and to enable Syrians themselves to decide their destiny.“
PM tells visiting senators he hopes to sign deal before January 2017, relays same message to White House as well, but crucial disagreements remain unresolved; his renewed push to appoint spokesman harshly critical of Obama may complicate matters further.
In France, under article 89 of the Constitution, a revision requires a vote of each house of Parliament, followed by a three-fifth vote of the Congress, which is a session of both houses together. After France‘s conservatives allied with left-wing rebels in the French Senate to vote down the measure, Hollande concluded he didn‘t have the votes and canceled his planned constitutional amendment, blaming partisanship.
To say that this is a political humiliation is an understatement.
(28.3.2016) This is astounding. A senior French politician has revealed that the tax laws of France entitle a citizen to make a charitable, tax-deductible donation to the Israeli army. As the French politician Nathalie Goulet observes: “This represents a tax benefit by the French taxpayer for the benefit of a foreign army.”
Myanmar‘s upper house of parliament approved a bill on Friday that gives Aung San Suu Kyi a powerful government role, despite opposition from the military on the second day of her party‘s new administration.
Four F-16 fighters destroyed targets in the Zap region this morning, it said. Later, eight F-4 jets hit targets in the Metina region, it said.
Hundreds of people including opposition politicians protested outside the trial of two prominent Turkish journalists facing life in prison on espionage charges on Friday, hours after President Tayyip Erdogan denied curbing press freedoms.
We‘ve written a whole bunch about the incredibly thin-skinned and litigious President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan took his show on the road to the US this week, and apparently that included pretending that he can treat press in the US as bad as he does at home. Erdogan spoke at the Brookings Institution yesterday, and there were protestors outside. That‘s not that surprising, but rather than doing what basically anyone else does in that situation and ignore the protestors, Erdogan‘s security clashed with the protestors and then took it up a notch going after reporters:
At a time when the Saudis are desperately trying to hang on to their dwindling market share, it is intriguing to consider exactly why Russia and the OPEC nations are even discussing an oil production freeze, and what they hope to achieve, knowing that any increase in price will bring back the U.S. shale oil drillers with a vengeance, increasing the supply glut.
However, Modi is confident and many who are close to him tell OneIndia that this will be a crucial and successful visit.
The United States and Saudi Arabia on Thursday joined hands to sanction Pakistani individuals and terrorist entities, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), hours ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s visit to Riyadh.
Head of the Turkish opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), Selahattin Demirtas, can be deprived of the parliamentary immunity, Anadolu Agency reported Apr.1.

Moscow does not rule out that the coordination in the oil sector can be discussed at the meeting of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with his Azerbaijani and Iranian counterparts Elmar Mammadyarov and Mohammad Javad Zarif, said Russia’s State Secretary and Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin.
Ausschlaggebend für den Rücktritt der Ministerin ist die Verwicklung ihres Lebensgefährten in einen Skandal um Aufträge in der Ölindustrie.
Würde der Bundestag CETA anschließend ablehnen, hätten Konzerne trotzdem volle drei Jahre Zeit, gegen Deutschland zu klagen. Auf der Basis eines Vertrages, der nach dem Willen des Bundestages nie hätte zustande kommen sollen. Das ergibt sich aus Artikel 30.8 des CETA-Vertrags.
