Bundeswehr-SpezialeinsatzkrÀfte im Inneren Somalias ohne Mandat
(Mai 2013) Interne Clan-KĂ€mpfe wie in der Region Jubbaland an der Grenze zu Kenia zwischen dem frĂŒheren Verteidigungsminister und einem Scheich sowie AnsprĂŒche der Warlords der verschiedenen Regionen kĂ€mpfen in Mogadischu um die PfrĂŒnde an der Regierungsbeteiligung.

Haunting the high priests of capitalism is the fate that history eventually imposed on slavery, feudalism and their high priests.

Die Zeitung zitierte einen namentlich nicht genannten deutschen Minister mit den Worten: „Juncker hat immer wieder gegen das gemeinsame Interesse verstoĂen, und seine Reaktion auf das britische Referendum war sehr schĂ€dlich. Dies ist nicht die Zeit fĂŒr institutionelle Streitereien, aber der Druck auf ihn, zurĂŒckzutreten, wird nur noch gröĂer werden.“

Earthâs secrets preserved in the Arctic cliffs of Padloping Island
Those parts include the Acasta Gneiss, a block of Canadian Shield found north of Yellowknife, that is thought to be the oldest intact fragment of the Earthâs crust, dating back just over four billion years. More controversial is the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt, located along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay, which one 2012 study pegged at 4.3 billion years old.
Arctic coastal nations to negotiate fishing rights in international waters
Arctic coastal nations will meet in Iqaluit this week to decide the future of commercial fishing in a vast expanse of international Arctic waters.
Obama weighs big Arctic decision
The Obama administration in March proposed an offshore drilling plan for 2017-2022 that would see two drilling lease auctions in the Arctic Ocean. Obamaâs decision on drilling this year is especially important because it is the only chance to schedule lease sales for the next half-decade: if he blocks Arctic leases now, his successor cannot revive them before writing a new five-year plan.

SchĂŒtzt die Arktis vor Grundschleppnetz-Trawlern!
Tief im Arktischen Ozean schlummern ĂŒber Jahrzehnte gewachsene, wunderschöne Korallen und ein einzigartiges Ăkosystem. Diese kostbare Unterwasser-Welt ist akut bedroht: Wenn zerstörerische Grundschleppnetze ĂŒber den Meeresboden pflĂŒgen, bleibt dort nur eine trostlose Mondlandschaft zurĂŒck.

I voted to leave the EU. That doesnât make me an idiot or a xenophobe
The democratic deficit and national sovereignty were issues of concern, especially given the trajectory of the EU. The European commission consists of unelected officials who lack democratic accountability. And given how far weâve come since joining the EEC in 1973, itâs at least a little unnerving to consider how much more politically integrated the EU will be in 10 or 15 yearsâ time. Our politicians may still make awful decisions, but at least they are accountable to us.
How the EU pushed France to Reforms of Labour Law
(28.6.2016) Kenneth Haar, from Corporate Europe Observatory, has just published a very important analysis on the role of the EU- and the Eurozone-framework in bringing about these reforms. Haarâs report shows how the economic governance framework pushed through on the wake of the Eurozone crisis since 2010 creates very concrete pressure on France to implement exactly these reforms.
With the European Semester, the reformed Deficit Procedure and the Procedure against Macroeconomic Imbalances (MIP), the EU-Commission is now able to create significant reform pressure, even against very strong member states. One could call this regime a âTroika for allâ.
Almost half of Italians polled in survey want to leave EU

Portugalâs Left Bloc Wants EU Referendum if Country Is Sanctioned
(26.6.2016) LISBONâA key ally to Portugalâs Socialist government said the country should consider holding a referendum on the European Union membership if the EU decides to impose sanctions over last yearâs missed budget target.
While Portugalâs Socialist party is deeply pro-EU and calling a referendum would be highly unlikely, Left Blocâs move puts pressure on the government and Prime Minister AntĂłnio Costa, as well as the European Commission,…
EuropÀische Kommission: Oettinger will Sanktionen gegen Spanien und Portugal
GĂŒnther Oettinger spricht sich dafĂŒr aus, dass die EU Sanktionen gegen Spanien und Portugal verhĂ€ngt.

Konsequenz aus Brexit: Martin Schulz fordert „echte europĂ€ische Regierung“
In einem Gastbeitrag fĂŒr die „Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung“ schreibt Schulz, diese EU-Regierung solle „der parlamentarischen Kontrolle des Europaparlaments und einer zweiten Kammer, bestehend aus Vertretern der Mitgliedstaaten, unterworfen“ sein.
Das sei den Menschen aus ihren Nationalstaaten bekannt und werde „politische Verantwortlichkeit auf der EU-Ebene transparenter machen“.
