GREECE: Prime Minister Papandreou gets the confidence of Parliament

George Papandreou has gained the trust of the Greek Parliament, but not the street. While MEPs will vote on the fate of the new government many thousands of Greeks gathered in the Assembly to protest against the austerity plan required by the European Union (EU).

"The 'Outraged' mobilized for almost a month, still have the same slogan: 'No-ish", shows Alexia Kefalas, FRANCE 24 correspondent in Athens. For them, the vote of confidence by the Parliament is not that the Greek people.They are still determined to reject the new austerity measures that lie ahead. "

Because now that it has obtained the confidence of Parliament, the government must adopt, as it has undertaken a new austerity plan by June 28 This new cure "financial stabilization" should allow the state to save 28 billion euros over five years. She was raised as a condition by the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the release of the fifth and final installment of the aid that Greece had requested.

To Parliament on Tuesday night, the new Greek Finance Minister, Evangelos Vinizelos, went so far as to promise results that go beyond the requirements of the EU and the IMF."We need a plane parallel restructuring of the country whose goals are aligned with the new austerity plan dictated by the EU and the IMF, but we can perform better on the budget, growth and social justice" , he said.

"The first issue is a larger decline in costs and faster functional state than those provided, then you have an immediate and radical reform of taxation and measures of growth," he said, acknowledging a "problem balance and justice "measures, which strike above all the employees of the middle class.

Distrust of the Eurogroup

Finance ministers of the euro area are maintaining pressure on Greece.Earlier this week, they said they would pay the fifth tranche of aid worth EUR 110 billion they paid in loans in Athens in 2010 on condition that Greece shows "a credible "it would hold its commitments. Like last year, the tax system of the Greek State is in the focus of finance ministers. "It helps to reduce state spending, but it is urgent to bring revenue into the coffers, Markus analysis Kerbernez professor of economics at the Technical University of Berlin.The public accounts are sealed by an economy, by the black, which represents 28% of GDP. "

The Eurogroup has scheduled a special meeting on July 3 to consider the various austerity measures (savings, tax increases and privatization) to make or not endorse. This is certainly the most difficult obstacle to overcome. If the finance ministers of the euro area choose not to pay the final tranche of 12 billion euros in aid, Greece could fall into bankruptcy.

Just before the vote of confidence in Parliament, the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, has proposed to release earlier than expected with a 1 billion euro in the EU."If Athens shall act, Europe will keep its commitments, he said. There is a plan, I call on everyone to stick to it."

RUSSIA: Elena Bonner, Sakharov's widow and Soviet dissident, died

Elena Bonner, died Saturday in Boston (USA) at age 88, served for 20 years a major figure in the struggle for human rights in the Soviet Union along with her husband, the Nobel Peace Andrei Sakharov.

"Taking stock today, I can summarize my life in three words. My life has been typical, tragic and beautiful," she told in a speech in Oslo two years ago.

Elena was born in 1923 into a family of convinced Communists.His father, active in Transcaucasia during the Revolution, is a leader of the Comintern (Communist International), which allows the young Elena cross in the family apartment the future Marshal Tito and Georgi Dimitrov, the future communist leader of Bulgaria.

Elena Bonner is 14 years old when his father was arrested in 1937 at the height of the Stalinist purges. He was shot the following year. His mother, who was sentenced to eight years in camp, will total 18 years between the prison camp and exile. Both will be rehabilitated in 1954, after Stalin's death.

Committed volunteer as a nurse during World War II, Elena Bonner was injured twice.After the war, she became a pediatrician, married a doctor in Leningrad and has two children, Alex and Tatiana, with whom she lived in recent years in Boston.

After the timid de-Stalinization initiated by Nikita Khrushchev in 1956, Elena Bonner joined the Communist Party, "the biggest mistake of my life," she said years later.

The invasion by Soviet tanks in Czechoslovakia in 1968 put an end to his hopes of liberalization of the communist regime, and she left the party in 1972, an act so sacrilegious in the Soviet Union.

At that time, Elena has been involved for several years in the movement of human rights.So she meets Andrei Sakharov in 1970 in Kaluga, a small town 100 km from Moscow, where both have come to attend the trial of two dissidents.

In 1972, Elena Bonner Sakharov wife, one of the fathers of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, which is already recognized in the USSR and the West as a symbol of the opposition, with the writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

"We were absolutely free people in a country absolutely free", remember loved Elena Bonner citing years of common struggle with Sakharov.

In the Moscow Group for the implementation of the Helsinki Agreement, a leading dissident groups, Elena Bonner plays a central role: it informs foreign journalists arrests, convictions, searches and smuggled many documents in the West.

For years, the KGB (secret services and Soviet political police) made it his main target, avoiding a frontal attack on the Sakharov: the Jewish origins of Bonner are then highlighted to help the accused to serve of foreign powers and to have "astray" Academician Sakharov.

In 1975, her husband having been prevented by the Soviet authorities to travel to Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace is that it represents.

In 1980, Sakharov was exiled to Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), city closed to foreigners and 500 km east of Moscow, for criticizing the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.

Elena becomes the only link with the outside of Sakharov, making back and forth between Moscow and Gorky punctuated with many stops and searches by the KGB.

In 1984, she in turn is sentenced to five years of exile in Gorky for "systematically disseminated information slandering the Soviet Union."

On his return to Moscow with Sakharov in 1987, after being pardoned by Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika in full, Elena continues her fight.

She became a member of the Commission for Human Rights by President Boris Yeltsin, but left office in 1994 to protest against the war in Chechnya.

In recent years, Elena Bonner did not spare his criticism of the current prime minister and former president Vladimir Putin considered it a threat to the freedoms and human rights in Russia.

"The last figure of 4,600," he told AFP an official source in Ankara.

A previous report supplied by Saturday morning the semi-official Anatolia agency reported some 4,300 Syrians entered Turkey.

The refugees, whose numbers are growing by the hour, are housed in two tent cities in the province of Hatay.

They are supported by the Turkish gendarmes and taken to camps and hospitals.About 60 people were hospitalized with various injuries, according to local sources.

Most refugees are housed in a tent at Yayladagi. The Turkish Red Crescent has started to build two other camps, and Altinözü Boynuyogun to respectively 4,000 and 5,000 people, local rescue workers have said.

BRAZIL: The liberation of Cesare Battisti is a setback for Rome

Cesare Battisti is finally able to settle in Brazil, free and with a permanent resident visa. The country's Supreme Court, by six votes against three, decided not to extradite the former left-wing activist, convicted in absentia in 1993 by the Italian courts and sentenced to life imprisonment for four murders and complicity in murder committed in the late 1970s.

Until the last moment, the political and legal drama that has pitted Rome four years in Brasilia caused confusion within the Brazilian authorities.The six-hour debate among the nine justices of the Supreme Court of Brazil have been told, to say the least contentious.

But ultimately, "what is at stake here is the national sovereignty, Judge Luiz Fux justifies. It's very simple: the Court itself decided that the president could decide. " The highest court in Brazil has therefore lost to the decision of the former head of state Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva does not extradite Cesare Battisti.This arbitration was his last day in office, December 31, 2010.

"The Supreme Court had to decide whether Lula's decision was consistent with the extradition treaty between Brazil and Italy, but decided not to deliver a new showdown with the executive and validate the decision Lula ", decrypts Pierre-Ludovic Viollat, FRANCE 24's correspondent in Sao Paolo.

The "deep bitterness" of Berlusconi

The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi expressed "great bitterness" of Rome and intends to contest the ruling of the Supreme Court of Brazil to the International Court of Justice in The Hague."Italy will continue its action and activate the courts to ensure timely compliance with international agreements binding the two countries united by historical bonds of friendship and solidarity", said the "Cavaliere".

"The Italian Minister of Youth, Giorgia Meloni, speaks of an 'act unworthy of a democratic nation,' relates Sonya Logre-Grezzi, FRANCE 24 correspondent in Rome. The decision of the Brazilian judges," said the minister, is a yet another humiliation for the victims' families, a slap to the Italian institutions. "

Since the arrest in March 2007 by Cesare Battisti in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, relations were strained between Brazil and Italy.For, when Rome demanded the extradition of convicted Italian, Brazil granted him political asylum. "Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, then wrote to Lula had asked him to reconsider his decision. The Italian ambassador in Brasilia had been recalled for consultation. And Italian politicians had called for a boycott of Brazilian products," says Pierre Ludovic Viollat.

However, note the corresponding FRANCE 24, "Italian reactions were slightly less virulent over the decision of President Lula, December 31.And even if Rome reacted negatively today, we feel informally, on both sides, we want out of this affair that has lasted four years and pollutes the relationship between the two countries. "

PAKISTAN: Several insurgents killed in U.S. drone strikes

At least 18 insurgents were killed Monday by three U.S. drone missile in northwest Pakistan, where the unmanned aircraft of the CIA and are regularly al-Qaeda and the Taliban, the military said.

These three new strokes occur a little more than two days after a U.S. drone was probably killed in the same area on Pakistani Ilyas Kashmiri, a key military leaders of Al Qaeda, even if the authorities can do for time to confirm his death in the absence of a corpse.

The CIA drone attack almost daily in these tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, a stronghold of Pakistani Taliban chief sanctuary in the world of Al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban rear base.

These strikes have not dried up since a helicopter-borne U.S. commandos secretly killed Osama bin Laden in northern Pakistan on May 2

Monday morning, the first drone fired two missiles at a house nearby madrassa, a religious school in the area of ​​Shalam Raghzaï tribal district South Waziristan, a stronghold of the Taliban, told AFP a high military official on condition of anonymity.In the same district as the drone was shot Kashmiri missiles Friday night ..

September insurgents were killed.

Fifteen minutes later, another U.S. aircraft fired two missiles at a building in the area Wacha Dana, about 2 km from the first attack, killing "at least eight insurgents," the military official.

Several hours later, another drone fired two missiles at a vehicle, killing "three insurgents," military sources said, this time Dray Nishtar, about thirty miles from two previous attacks.

The term "insurgent" means, in the terminology of the Pakistani military, Islamist rebels, whether Pakistani Taliban, Afghans, foreign fighters or Al Qaeda.

The two attacks and balances have been confirmed to AFP by other senior officials of the security forces.

Launched in 2004, the campaign of missile strikes from CIA drone in the north-west Pakistan has accelerated dramatically since late 2008.

The Pakistani Taliban have declared allegiance to Al Qaeda in 2007 and launched the same year and in tune with bin Laden himself, their jihad against Islamabad's support to the "war against terrorism" by Washington since late 2001.

The United States considers these areas as "the most dangerous place in the world," where Al Qaeda and its allies are preparing attacks in Western countries and to train their suicide bombers.September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, Times Square in New York in 2010, passing through Madrid (2004) and London (2005), attacks or attempts have all found their origins in these training camps in the north- West Pakistan.

The Western intelligence services are convinced that the planned attacks uncovered last October, including Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States, have been prepared under the leadership of Ilyas Kashmiri in the tribal areas.

But the Taliban and their allies are also the main responsible for a wave of nearly 500 attacks that killed more than 4,400 people across Pakistan over the past four years.

Sunday, two of these attacks have killed 24 people.

If the death of Mohammad Ilyas Kashmiri, 47, is confirmed, it would be the main setbacks inflicted on the al-Qaeda since the death of bin Laden.

Western experts in combating terrorism are unanimous in saying that Kashmiri, Pakistani Chief of the armed group banned Harakat ul-Jihad-al-Islam (HuJI) is a major operational commander of Al Qaeda, responsible in particular for Coordination of attacks in Pakistan and abroad.
