dear news

The wreck of the Superjet 100 Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi was identified Thursday in a mountainous region south of Jakarta, the day after his disappearance with fifty people on board during a flight demonstration meant to promote the device.

"From the air, the pilot (helicopter) spotted debris and he saw the logo of Sukhoi," he said at a conference Daryatmo press conference, head of the National Relief (SAR). "We spotted the debris to where we had lost contact with the aircraft," nearly Cijeruk in the region of Mount Salak, a volcano which rises to and more than 2,211 meters, added Daryatmo who like many Indonesians, only name.

The ground search is difficult in this mountainous and jungle-covered, about 80 km southeast of the capital.

"The debris was found about 1,800 meters above sea level" on the side of the volcano, said Lieutenant Colonel Mukhlis, who takes part in the supervision of operational ; rations. "We do not know the condition of the passengers," he added.

The aircraft, which carries the hopes of Russian civil aviation, on a flight demonstration as part of an international tour to promote when it disappeared from radar screens shortly before 15:00 (GMT O8h00) Wednesday.

The Sukhoi was carrying 47 people, all Indonesians, with the exception of eight Russians, one French and one American, according Trimarga Rekatama, agent Indonesian Sukhoi. Other sources suggest, however, up to 50 occupants. France's embassy in Jakarta confirmed the presence on board a French.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has called the launch a "thorough investigation" into the reasons for the accident. Wednesday night in Moscow, a source within the Russian Ministry of Industry and Commerce, quoted by Interfax news agency, had assured that preparations for the flight had been made s "in full". "Technically, the plane was in perfect condition," he added.

"I looked up and saw a large white plane just above the summit," he told AFP Juanda, 41, a resident of Cidahu, village ; on the slopes of Mount Salak which are based some of the supplies.

"It flew from right to left and then it disappeared and I heard like fireworks," said Juanda.

While the ground search dragged on, the long wait continued for relatives of the occupants of Sukhoi. "They are all my four best friends from childhood," said between sobs Yudistira Alex, 43, arrived at the base backup Cidahu Wednesday night to try to get news of his four comrades who e ; taient to the aircraft. "I will stay until I see them," says he.

"The plane has been missing for three hours yesterday, why are they so slow, rescuers," enraged Ahmad Rifai, 48, whose sister Maisyarah was replaced at the last moment an air hostess on board the aircraft. "If they had been quicker, maybe my sister …" he adds before losing his words in a sob.

The SSJ100, which received its Russian certification in early 2011, can carry between 75 and hundreds of passengers depending on version. He hopes to compete with Brazil's Embraer and Canadian Bombardier's regional aircraft considered promising.

But its launch was marked by various technical problems. Mid-March, a Superjet of the Russian airline Aeroflot had to turn around in a Russian domestic flight after an incident with its landing gear.

Many international groups have participated in the design of the aircraft, including French Snecma and Thales. The Italian Alenia (Finmeccanica group) took 25% stake in Sukhoi Civil Aviation in 2009.

The hopes were dwindling in India Tuesday to find survivors after the sinking of an overloaded ferry that crashed into a river on two of the state of Assam, killing more than 100 deaths and a hundred missing.

The death toll could be one of the highest in Southeast Asia in recent years.

Police said 105 bodies had been recovered so far in the turbulent waters of the Brahmaputra River, where the ferry crashed Monday night in a storm. Despite a maximum capacity of 225 people, the boat carrying about 350 passengers.

Police said that 150 of them were rescued or had managed to swim to shore. The ferry boat had neither a life jacket or life buoys and the chances of finding survivors after a night spent in the water were minimal.

"The poor weather and the river agitated hamper relief efforts," he told AFP the police chief of Assam, JN Choudhury.

Taleb Ali, a farmer of 35 years who survived the sinking, reported that passengers had asked the captain to anchor the ferry to a sandbar when the storm broke out mid-term but the latter flatly refused.

"The storm became more intense and the boat broke in two before sinking," he testified to AFP.

Arun Kalita, a worker employed in building roads, for his part told the cries of the passengers: "I could hear many passengers call God for help. But the water was turbulent and the storm was very severe. Nobody could rescue them, "he added.

Trees uprooted by winds blocked access roads to the crash site, preventing rescue teams to reach the area, officials said in Guwahati.

More rains were forecast in the region Tuesday.

The ship was traveling from the neighboring district of Dhubri Fakirganjan when the accident occurred. Dhubri is located some 300 km from Guwahati, the main city of Assam.

Boats are a common mode of transport in India in the remotest regions but accidents are common due to ineffective safety standards and too many passengers on board.

The announcement of the nationalization of the company of Electricity Transmission (TOT) by Bolivian President Evo Morales, the first Tuesday in May, has sealed a little over Spain. TDE, the first Bolivian electricity grid operator, 99.94% was owned and operated by International Power Network, a subsidiary of Electric Network Spain, since 2002.

Morales, who ordered the Bolivian armed forces to "take control of management and administration" of TDE, would have justified the coup by the lack of investment by Spanish group over the past year, say the Spanish authorities.

The decision of La Paz is not unlike that taken by Argentina a few weeks earlier. On April 16, during a ceremony, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner announced the nationalization of YPF, the largest tanker operator in the country and a subsidiary of Spanish giant Repsol. A reasoned decision, according to the president, by starving investments made in recent months by the company, preference shareholders accused of contempt of development infrastructure. A symbolic slap in the face

Economically, these measures should not have a major impact on the crisis in Spain, according to Sebastian Velut, professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Latin America " The economic problems of Spain are too high for these nationalisations have any real impact. It's not a drop of water, including Repsol, but the effects will be felt by small shareholders of the company and the company itself and the country as a whole. " It's more on the ideological attacks that should have a real impact, says expert: "Both nationalization involved in quick, this is obviously not accidental, all that Spain is undergoing a historic crisis. For twenty years, Spanish companies, taking advantage of capitalism on a drip, have adopted a very aggressive towards their South American counterparts. In some countries, the methods used for their implementation were heavily criticized. Some saw a form of neocolonialism. "The Latin American antagonism to a head

Mid-April, at the sixth summit of the Americas in Cartagena des Indies, Colombia, the Latin American countries had shown "that despite differences ideological, they had a common vision of building a similar model of federalism, "said Pascal Drouhaud, vice president of the Institut Choiseul and specialist in the region. In the aftermath of the summit, the announcement of the nationalization of Argentina's YPF occurred. Reactions across the continent have quickly revived antagonisms in Latin America, where Spain is still the fifth largest investor. Not surprisingly, Chavez's Venezuela, followed by Cuba and Uruguay, have supported the decision to Kirchner. Brazil and Peru are, themselves, been more measured, midway between the countries of the Bolivarian Alliance (Alba) and a fringe far more hostile to the e gard the Argentine coup. Three countries with more liberal leanings, Mexico, Chile and Colombia, for their part, openly expressed their dissatisfaction. Mexican President Felipe Calderon, in particular, has insisted that "all developing countries [had] need investment." Same thing in Chile, where the Minister of Economy Pablo Longueira regretted that the attitude of Argentina "masquerading Latin America for a region unattractive" . Love Cow

Pascal Drouhaud, the equation is complex Latin American resolve to Madrid: "They can not immediately withdraw from countries that practice these expropriations to focus more on countries 'friendly'. This is a complicated process that would take several years. In the immediate future, they have no choice but to open negotiations with these governments constraints. After, it is likely that the idea of ​​a 'rehabilitation' of the Spanish strategy running through their heads. "Spain has refused to logically mount & rsquo , Case Bolivian hairpin: "This is not a generalized situation" in Latin America, provides the Spanish Minister of Economy Luis de Guindos, which deviates Mê ; me the idea of ​​a parallel with the expropriation of Argentina two weeks ago. Indeed, unlike Argentina, which came into open conflict with Spain about Repsol, Bolivia is also trying to avoid escalation. As proof, the day of the nationalization of TDE, President Morales also opened a new gas refinery in the country, whose management was entrusted to … the Spain's Repsol. Morales has also used the ceremony to honor the "leadership of Repsol, one of the largest multinational companies in the world" whose "investment will always be respected as a partner." ; a bow which illustrates the ambiguity of relations between Spain and Latin America liberal, already divided between the block of Alba and other countries of "confession" more liberal.

The presence of a Syrian delegation to the upcoming Olympic Games (OG) in London is under debate. First authorized by the British authorities and hoped for by the International Olympic Committee (which, on March 14, expressed by its president Jacques Rogge his willingness to "any do "to the Syrian sports there are present, unless one of them being involved in war crimes), it would come eventually in the British capital under duress.

Athletes "do not want to play a flag which they are not proud," said Abdelbasset Saroot, former goalkeeper of the team of Syrian football. In an interview broadcast on April 4 by the British channel ITV, this former international who was only 20 years said: "I know personally that most athletes do not want to participate [ Olympics, Ed] and they will fear for their families for fear of reprisals from the plan if they do not comply. "

A situation that could cause great controversy in view of the repression that has claimed more than 9,000 dead in Syria for over a year, according to Syrian Observatory of Human Rights and the UN . "My message as a footballer, athlete and activist, is above all that we are witnessing a massacre here (in Syria)," the young player. "This is a massacre, because people are slaughtered. The world has forgotten humanitarian crisis, the housing that was demolished. "

"I do not think we should punish the Syrians athletes"

Precisely, some fighting for a boycott of Syria in the next Olympics, as the Syrian opposition activists who called London especially to prohibit the presence of the Syrian Olympic Committee, General Mouaffak Juma'a, and other officials considered close to Bashar al-Assad. In this regard, the British Prime Minister David Cameron had said, on March 28, the Syrian athletes will be allowed to participate in the Olympics, but those related to the subject sanctions will not be welcome.

"I do not think we should punish the athletes for the misdeeds of the regime, but let's be quite clear: Britain has led efforts within the European Union and elsewhere to implement asset freezes, travel bans and sanctions against this odious regime, "Cameron said during a press conference with IOC President Jacques Rogge. "Those involved with any of these prohibitions will not be welcome in London," he added.

A total of 126 individuals from the Syrian regime are subject to EU sanctions, including President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma, who is yet born ; London and has British citizenship

AFP - Google Internet group on Thursday posted a 61% jump in net profit in the first quarter, emerged above expectations at $ 2.89 billion, but accompanied by a number of Business remained just below expectations.

Moreover, the group announced that eight years after its IPO, it would split its shares two for creating a new class of shares without voting rights, in order to continue to distribute shares without diluting the power of decision.

"We have a structure that prevents third parties from taking control or unduly influence management decisions. However, the dilution of earnings-related daily routine actions and other possible dilution, as acquisitions of securities, are likely to undermine (the current capital structure) and our aspirations for the Google trè ; s long term, "justified the CEO co-founder Larry Page and Sergey Brin in a letter to shareholders.

The operation has the effect of freezing the voting entitlements existing shareholders.

The initiative was announced while Google prepares to take control of the OEM Motorola Mobility, has already been approved by the Board and must ê ; be voted on by shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders on June 21 However, since MM. Page and Brin, the President of the Board Eric Schmidt, control the majority of voting rights, its adoption is not in doubt.

In terms of results, the quarterly profit amounts to 10.08 dollars per share, excluding special items, more than the 9.65 dollars expected by the analysts.

The net sales grew by 24% to 10.65 billion. But after deducting any commissions paid out to partner sites, it displays $ 8.14 billion, just below the 8.15 billion expected by the analysts.

Since arriving in the dark of the Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala in August, the Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o continues to be talked about. His transfer from Inter Milan in the Russian Caucasus allows him to pocket the $ 60 million in three years (20 million euros per season), making him one of the highest paid footballers s on the planet.

In selection, the path of Samuel Eto'o is more tumultuous. While Cameroon failed to qualify for CAN 2012, the former captain of the Indomitable Lions was sentenced last December 15 game suspension for inciting his coe team-mates to boycott an international friendly match in Algeria in November 2011. Punishment later reduced to five games by FECAFOOT (Cameroon Football Federation) after the wave of protest that followed the announcement of the first sanction.

Samuel Eto'o could then replay with Cameroon in September and so why not participate in the CAN-2013 held in South Africa.

As for his future club, Samuel Eto'o always seen in Russia, even if one came to Paris Saint-Germain is regularly mentioned.

Just passing in the capital, the four African Golden Ball was asked Alain Foka in the interview broadcast France24/RFI.

This Monday, April 15th is particularly challenging for the Norwegians. Nine months ago, July 22, 2011, Anders Breivik, far-right activist of 32 years, coldly executed 69 young Labour Party on the island of Utoeya and killed eight people in the explosion a bomb in Oslo. Today, Norway is facing the killer on the occasion of the first day of his trial in Oslo.

But at a time when the battered country is trying to understand how he could create such a monster, Norwegian civil society refuses to get caught up in hatred. On the contrary, this bloody day that many Norwegians consider their "September 11" to them, led to a reaffirmation of the values ​​of tolerance and openness claimed es by the Scandinavian company.

"Civil society has responded remarkably to the events, showing unity, dignity and reaffirming its national cohesion," noted Dominique Moisi Political scientist and special adviser of the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), interviewed by Le Figaro on August 8. 

No exceptional justice

Of course, the Norwegians seeking justice - the vast majority of them reject the idea that Breivik not be held criminally responsible for his actions and can be interned in psychiatry - but many approach the day without demanding an exceptional justice or turn security in the country.

"It was an isolated crime (…) Everyone agrees it was the gesture of a madman driven by his political radicalism," said Janne Haaland Matlary, political scientist at the University of Oslo. A view shared by Jean-Yves Camus, a specialist in the far right at the Institute of International and Strategic Relations (IRIS). "The Scandinavian culture is special. There is there a sense of individual freedom extremely loud. A security crackdown is frowned upon because it would not solve much. "

It is indeed true, that the Norwegians refused the act of a madman - so bloody it may be - come sign the death warrant of their values ​​of openness and multiculturalism. "It is important not to give terrorists the ability to change the values ​​they had before," said Bjoern and Ihler, 20, a survivor of the shooting, according to comments reported by the Parisian . "This guy wanted to kill me because I believe in democracy, tolerance and dialogue. If that is why he wanted to kill me, I will continue to fight for these values, "says, meanwhile, Vegard Groeslie Wennesland, a student of 28 years, cited by Reuters.

The far right down

If the tragedy of Oslo has not dealt a fatal blow to the far right - that ideology adhered Breivik -, it has allowed the party to the left of emerge stronger from this ordeal. "In local elections in September, the Progressive Party [far-right party] has registered a marked decline," said Jean-Yves Camus. The Labour Party, he recorded his best score in a quarter century (32%).

The Norwegians may feel that the answer "too" safe in the fight against the "crazy" is psychiatric nonsense. "Psychopaths can occur anywhere - even in civilized societies," wrote about it yet Dominique Moisi in Le Figaro.

"Reclaiming Utoeya"

A study from August 2011 by the UNI Rokkan Center of Bergen and the Institute for Social Research in Oslo, 52% of 2250 respondents were more confident their fellow citizens after the tragedy of Utoya before. More than six in ten also felt they did not feel "very worried" by the possibility of more attacks like this

.

The Norwegian population is not provided inconsistent. "There is definitely a 'Scandinavian culture' should not be confused with permissiveness. There, the police are not armed, the maximum penalty of imprisonment not exceeding 25 years ", adds Jean-Yves Camus. "The Norwegians want to solve the problems of violence without resorting to violence," added the expert.

And they are now trying to move forward. Despite the 69 victims of the shooting, the youth movement Labor affirmed its intention to "reclaim" Utoeya and to organize further gatherings in the future. "There are challenges but we're all in this together and you have drawn from it the most," said Eskil Padersen, the president of the movement. A courageous and strong, not to let "win" Breivik who wanted to "dry up the recruitment of youths Labour". The killer has lost: the youth movement of the Norwegian Labour Party in late 2011 had 46% membership increase over the previous year.
