Von der Leyen gives the speech of her life

Everything depends on this appearance:


Does the Leyen succeed in convincing the skeptical members of the European Parliament? It is a difficult tightrope walk, the CDU politician masters them with a mixture of personal and concessions to Parliament.

When Ursula von der Leyen joins the European Parliament's lectern at 9 am, she knows the significance of the moment. In the evening, she wants to be elected Commission President, but that is far from certain. Many MPs had given their anger over the past few days that Leyen was not the top candidate, but was nominated by the European Council. Now, the CDU politician, as on the day before, on the concerns of parliamentarians. And her speech sounds in the meantime as if it were specially made for the skeptics in the green and social democratic camp. As if she had to show that she is not a candidate by grace of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Von der Leyen, who just announced her resignation as Secretary of Defense yesterday, presents herself as a "passionate fighter" for Europe, as she says herself. Switching from immaculate French to German and English, she invokes European unity in the face of the challenges of climate change, demographic change and digitization. "If we are united inside, nobody will split us from the outside." Then she gives herself in person: as a mother of seven children, born in Brussels, first European, then German and Lower Saxon. In short: a European through and through - so the unmistakable message.

One of the key points she picked up right from the beginning and contributed to the Greens' success in the European elections is climate change. For the first 100 days in office, she announces, she wants "a green deal for Europe". A law should set the goal of achieving climate neutrality by the year 2050. Europe should become the first climate-neutral continent. It also cites the current milestone for Europe to reduce greenhouse gases by 40 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. These would have to be reduced by 50, if not 55 percent. That this is not easy, admits of the Leyen. But these goals also meant "that we have to change everything with us". Each sector will have to do its part. Emissions should have a price. 

After that, she will parade through all the other important issues facing Europe: the big Internet companies would have to be taxed more heavily in Europe. It could not be that these made profits and paid no taxes. "If they want the benefits, then they have to participate in the burden."

Von der Leyen promises commitment "for the weakest"

Furthermore, von der Leyen is a champion of a social Europe. In a social market economy, the market would have to be merged with the social. And she points to her own record as a family minister, in which she introduced, among other things, the parental allowance. She wants to work "for the weakest". Every child must have access to the most basic rights, which will be an important part of their action plan. As a mother - and here again the seven children come into play - she knows that it makes a difference if they have access to education, food and a loving environment. And she calls for a minimum wage framework in Europe: "Every person working full-time should receive a minimum wage from which to live."

In the refugee policy deplores of the Leyen that the Mediterranean has become one of the deadliest borders in the world. Over 17,000 people have drowned here in recent years. "At sea, it is the duty to save lives." At the same time, she calls for the European border management agency Frontex to be expanded to 10,000 men within the next five years and is in favor of modernizing the asylum system. She wanted to propose a new pact for migration and asylum. In particular, the countries would have to get help, which were "because of their geographical location" the strongest pressure. This should have particularly interested the Italians, Greeks and Spaniards in the European Parliament with interest.

On other issues, the Leyen is ready for reform and open to a change in the EU treaties. She calls for a large-scale civil dialogue on EU reform and announces that she has a right of initiative for legislative proposals. Every proposal, which gets a majority in the parliament, wants to take it up in a legal act. And she promises what her critics have recently criticized: an improvement of the top candidate system and a commitment to transnational lists.

For the Brexit says of the Leyen, what she had repeatedly stated before: She regrets the decision, but respect her. Ignoring the disgust of Nigel Farage's members of the Brexit party, she makes London a concession: she is prepared to postpone the date of departure if more time is needed for good reasons. "In any case, the UK will remain our ally, our partner and our friend."

The fireplace that cast a pall over the night of Matches

At that time he did not, but the agent he had snatched them from certain death. It was not by chance or piety, but out of pure and simple saturation. As Ernesto would recall weeks after, the municipal police had tens of companions of the Rural School Normal Ayotzinapa lie face down on the asphalt and were bringing in trucks to the police station. They were up to the stops. So busy they were, which had appealed for help to the agents of the neighboring town of Cocula, and when Ernesto, armed with value, approached to ask about the fate of their friends, no longer had time or space for one more. Directly after he heard the news, he pointed with the rifle and threatened him to leave. "Saw him leaving the avenue to my companions," he remembers. It was the last time that he knew of them.

Its landing had not gone unnoticed. The hawks of narco news, according to the reconstruction of the Mexican Attorney General, had followed his footsteps and become alerted to the center of the Municipal Police. Teacher trainees were not welcome. In June of the previous year, after the murder and torture of the peasant leader Arturo Hernandez Cardona, the students had blamed the crime to the mayor of Iguala, José Luis Covers Velázquez, and attacked the town hall.

She, as point police investigations, ran the finances of the cartel of warriors in the city. The link with the narco came from far away. She was the daughter of a former would operate by Arturo Beltran Leyva, the Chief of Chiefs, and their own brothers had established by order of this hood the embryo of a criminal organization with the objective of addressing the Los Zetas and Family Michoacana. When both were executed and thrown into a ditch of the road from Cuernavaca, she took the reins in Iguala, starring along with her husband a fulgurating social advancement that i wanted to complete now with his ultimate ambition: to be elected alderman in 2015. To do this, that September 26 had prepared a great act in the socket of the villa. It was the beginning of its electoral race.

The irruption in the city of teacher trainees, hooded, rebels, with the desire to protest, made them fear that they were to burst the speech. The mayor demanded his henchmen that would prevent at all costs, and according to some versions, that the surrender to United warriors. The order was obeyed blindly. The jaws of the horror were opened wide. Possibly never know how the barbarity reached such an extreme, but what the police inquiries have managed to get to the light is that the teacher training students, you probably don't know what was the nature of the municipal power in Iguala, were given treatment of hitmen, they were persecuted with the healthy with that kills rival cartels. In successive waves, the police attacked blood and fire to the students. Of nothing they were worth their desperate attempts to flee in buses taken by force. Two were shot dead, another was skinned alive, three persons outside the facts have lost their lives as a shot to be confused with teacher training. In hunting, scores of students were arrested and taken to the police command of Iguala. Nobody gave order to stop. The clock continued.

In just one night without moon, overcrowded like cattle in a truck and a van, teacher trainees were driven into the dustbin of Cocula. It was a journey to hell. Many students, possibly a fortnight, wounded and beaten, died of asphyxiation in this tour. Upon arriving in the area, the survivors were down one by one. With his hands on his head, forced them to walk a stretch, lie on the floor and answer your questions. They wanted to know why they had come to matches and whether they belonged to the cartel rival. The teacher trainees, according to the confessions of the detainees, they were terrified that they were students, and that had nothing to do with the narco. Soon they were served. Finishing the interrogation, they received a shot in the head. The core of the command executor, but was aided by more assassins, Patricio Reyes were Landa, the Duck; Jonathan Osorio Gomez, Jona, and Agustin Garcia Reyes, the Chereje. With bestiality methodical, killed all the teacher trainees and, to what was already dead, dragged, caught in the arms and legs, out of the vehicles.

China sends retired the GDP: environment and poverty to measure the quality of life

Changes the paradigm for the economic measures, and to surprise and Beijing to take the first steps: the province of Fujian, which lives on export and manufacturing, replace the Product with gross indices on agriculture and the protection of the environment. Hebei has already implemented the turn with a plane anti-poverty. The "primary duty" is no longer the growth to the old way, but the protection of acres of forest. Although some doubt remains


LONDRA - That wealth is not sufficient to measure the welfare is not a novelty, nor are various attempts, in the world, to replace the GDP with other measurements, such as the "happiness" choice from Bhutan. But now the China to move, with more than 70 cities and districts that have abandoned the gross news domestic product as a measure of the local performance. The vertices of the party have established at the end of the last year and the premier Xi Jinping has confirmed in June: "we can no longer use the simple GDP to decide who are the better". Government officials are by assimilating the countermand: now asking for things like attention to the environment and poverty reduction. And while the OECD plans to replace the GDP with his Better Life Index, come the first concrete signs, in the opinion news of the Financial Times, the fact that China is actually leaving the mantra of economic growth at any cost to encourage a better quality of life. Fujian, coastal province has so far concentrated on the movement of exports and manufacturing, is one of the examples: this month announced that will replace the GDP with indexes on agriculture and the protection of the environment in 34 of its districts. In recent months news was the time of Hebei steel district north of Beijing, and Ningxia, poor region of north-east of China. In Hebei the objective now is to reduce the factories that produce smog (smog that afflicts even Beijing, about a hundred kilometers, which in turn is closing its plants more pollutants). Therefore cement factories, steel mills and power plants. In addition, there is a plan to combat poverty and rural development, with the aim of reducing it to zero by 2020, while the Agricultural University of Hebei produces thesis on poverty and tourism, studying how to capitalize on the heritage making it usable (with better infrastructure, more regional cooperation and more advertising) to the "ecological tourists and tourism Red", as he writes news  the scholar Zhang Pengtao. The areas of Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiangxi have in turn slowed the race to the GDP growth and encourage tertiary news and primary, with services, farms and processing news industrial not of its products. In the district of Tiannan, Jiangxi Province, to track the GDP have introduced three factories of ceramics and a processing plant non-ferrous metals. But now that the GDP is no longer a "primary duty", as explained the secretary of the local party Sheng Hengda the Xinhua news agency, "we have equipped the factories with structures that deal with pollution". In Sichuan province, the most populated of the China, the local government has divided cities and the countryside in two different groups of evaluation. The regulation, published at the end of June, explains that 58 districts with good ecosystems were exempted from the evaluation of GDP. The forthcoming evaluations of local progress will be made on two parameters: the news measurement of acres of forest preserved is that of the news decrease in the rate of poverty achieved. In the meantime, the iugura region of Xinjiang has changed objectives: protection of nature, too. The same Beijing now boasts of having closed in the first half of the year well 213 polluting industry. In most sectors, "clean" as information technology and financial services have covered more than 50% of the GDP growth citizen, that li is in force but is changing content, precisely. Everything proceeds according to the new line decided by the party, therefore. Even if a doubt remains. As reports the Financial Times, the race for the GDP and to the wealth, even staff, has created excellent relations between the representatives of the government and the polluting traditional industries: entire careers built on triumphs of the GDP of its area, as in the case of Zhang Gaoli, a member of the Standing news Committee of the Politburo from end of 2012, where he arrived also for the growth of the GDP of the megacity of Tianjin in recent years, from when he became secretary of the local party, in 2007. As he has done? Supporting large news construction companies that have produced, among other things, the "chinese response to Manhattan", i.e. the skyscrapers of the financial district of Yujiapu. Today, a huge part of condos remains empty, but him and vice premier, newly news appointed also the head of office that will promote the "synergetic development" of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.

The critic and ambassador for the arts: "are a good of the State, not of the Calabria". Then she says that she will turn to the minister Franceschini to ask for the opinion of "restorers independent" and replication to Salvatore Settis


THE Bronzi di Riace "are a good of the State and not of the Calabria Region, much less of the town of Reggio Calabria, then i don't see why that should not be transported in Milan. It would be as if to move the spring of the Botticelli news we need permission from the Mayor of Florence. They are of the same legal entity". Vittorio Sgarbi, recently appointed by the Lombardy Region ambassador for the arts for the Expo, back on its proposal to bring the bronzes in Milan in 2015, on the occasion news of the six months of the Universal Exhibition. THE SURVEY bronzes in Milan, you are in favor or against it? AND the ago after the opening of the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Dario Franceschini, who has demonstrated in this sense news, a "secular availability". In contrast, on the other hand, continues Sgarbi, "the defense of the parochialism that grazes the superstition and the rhetoric from pseudoconservatori restoration" of those who were opposed to the transport of the work. According to the neo ambassador for Expo, "nothing is easier than transporting them. The limit of risk there is always but there is nothing that would endanger their integrity". Between 20 and 21 August "i will write - announces yet - an official news letter to news Franceschini along with Roberto Maroni to ask that independent restorers assess all of the implications of the case". In any case, the art critic is to be noted that, since the department has a top down structure, if the superintendent to the archaeological heritage of Calabria (Simonetta Bonomi) and otherwise, and the minister favorable, the transport "it must be done". Just the Bonomi, in reality, they do not like the idea of the Bronzes in Milan for the Expo for the 'fragility' works, "failed - supports Sgarbi - to defend the works in his house by the photographs of Gerald Bruneau". The critic concludes with the example of a work like the Dancing Satyr "that is of the same age and travels around the world without problems". Irrepressible on topic, Sgarbi also responds to the art historian Salvatore Settis and on the pages of Republic, hnews ad expressed doubts about the need to transfer the two masterpieces, treated as "expensive ornaments". The replica of Sgarbi does not await: "All we can say - attacks - but not that the two masterpieces are not symbol of universal civilization, the roots of Greece and Magna Graecia. And the technology that li has returned in their integrity. All items that you can synthesize in their news exhibition in front of the world on the occasion of the World Expo". "As to the desirability, Settis knows - adds the critical - of them wondered himself for his shows on Magna Greece at the Palazzo Te, Mantova, disappointed then by a negative response that is not considered to be justified. I note that today expresses doubts that was not then. AND showed no cnews oncern to move bronzes equally significant, and even the Efebo of Mozia. Therefore, your speech today is not technical, but political". AND the controversy news continues with other reaction from Reggio Calabria with a dirissima note of Francis Wings and Pasquale Amato, promoters of the Committee for the development of the Bronzi di Riace and the museo Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria. "IT'S a smokescreen - says the note - that put in place by the minister Franceschini that stated that he had need of external experts from the ministrynews  to know if the Riace Bronzes can travel or less, with it he has offended and humiliated the scientific reports of the last 40 years compiled by bureaus news , restorers, experts Enr and Aeneas, which have already decreed the maximum fragility of the two statues that, in the case of even minimal movements, are at risk irreversible damage and even destruction. "OR the minister has already decided, in fact, to move to Milan, the delicate statues - continues to note - in order to promote a plan that aims only to monetize in favor of the Lombardia the Expo news abandoning the noon and the rest of Italy, or rather it is not able to play the role that his mandate requires: heritage but preserving it from high risk to its destruction."

One at the front for instance on addendum, second under it on belly height and third laterally at height of the shin bone. Into the first opening news ,  plastic bottles are to be thrown or - doses. A sensor recognizes whether they are more recyclable or not. If the bottle is accepted, a certain quantity of dog food falls into a cup from the lateral opening per bottle. The third opening news  is a practical side effect: If in the bottle some more water is and the person does not want it no more, it can be poured in and flows into a second cup.
