Obama visits temple during family vacation in Indonesia

Former US President Barack Obama visits Borobudur Temple in Java, Indonesia, on Wednesday (28)

Barack Obama took his wife, Michelle, and his daughters to the ancient Borobudur temple in Java on Wednesday (28) on a family vacation in Indonesia, where the former US president spent part of his childhood.

The Obama family came to the city of Yogyakarta in central Java and went straight to explore Borobudur, a former Buddhist temple built in the 8th and 9th centuries.

"Obama is fascinated by Borobudur, and he recalls seeing this temple as a child," said Edy Setijono, head of the temple management complex, who accompanied the family there.

Obama spent four years in Indonesia in the late 1960s in Jakarta after his mother married an Indonesian after the end of his marriage to his Kenyan father.

During those years, his mother and his Indonesian stepfather took him to Yogyakarta a few times during the school holidays.

Prior to their arrival in Yogyakarta, the family visited the tourist island of Bali, where they went to a Hindu temple and walked through rice plantations.


On June 30, Obama and his family should visit Jakarta.



Former US President Barack Obama rafting with his wife Michelle and his daughters Sasha and Malia during a Bali vacation in Indonesia on Monday.

Many Indonesians feel strong sympathy for Obama because of his initial exposure to Indonesian culture. There is a bronze statue two meters high from the former president in his old school.

The Little Barry statue - as Obama was known to his friends at the Indonesian school - portrays the Obama boy dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, with a butterfly perched on his hand.

When in the capital, Obama will meet with President Joko Widodo and give a speech at the convention on the Indonesian diaspora.

North Korea compares Donald Trump to Hitler

In an editorial of the KCNA state agency, Trump's 'America First' slogan is seen as a form of '21st-century Nazism'.


North Korea compared US President Donald Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in an editorial at state agency KCNA.

The president's policy is a form of "21st-century Nazism," says KCNA's editorial criticizing Trump's "America First" slogan.

"The principle America first defends world domination by military means, as was the case with the concept of world occupation of Hitler," wrote the North Korean agency.

Trump follows "Hitler's dictatorial policy" to divide the others into two categories, "friends and foes," to justify the "suppression" of the latter, he adds.

North Korea has a habit of offending its enemies. Last week, Pyongyang called Trump a "psychopath" in a context of tension over the death of American student Otto Warmbier, who had returned to the United States in a coma after spending a few years in a North Korean prison.

In 2014, the KCNA agency called then-US President Barack Obama a "mongrel-blooded bastard" with a "monkey appearance."

Earlier, North Korea compared former South Korean President Park Geun-Hye to a "prostitute."

Trump stars in bizarre episode while praising Irish journalist

US President Donald Trump staged a bizarre moment Tuesday by interrupting a call with the Irish prime minister to call a reporter and praise his smile.


"Come here! Where are you from?" Trump asked a reporter in the oval room, interrupting a call with newly elected Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.


Caitríona Perry, the journalist in question, approached the US president, identifying herself as Washington correspondent for the Irish public television station "RTE." "She has a nice smile on her face, I bet she treats you well," Trump replied at a point the journalist called "bizarre" on Twitter.

Michelle Rodriguez threatens to cast "Fast and Furious"

At Instagram, the actress has warned that she will leave if the filmmakers do not start giving more space to women in the franchise


The actress Michelle Rodriguez has published in her Instagram account an ultimatum to producers of Fast and Furious last Tuesday (27). In the post, she has warned that she will leave if the filmmakers do not start giving more space to women in the franchise. Having participated in six films of the saga, Michelle lives Letty Ortiz, who makes a romantic pair with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel).

F8 is digitally available today, and I hope they decide to show a little love to women in the next franchise. Or maybe I have to say goodbye to a loved franchise. It has been a good trajectory and I am grateful for the opportunity that the fans and the studio gave me over the years. "Love," wrote the actress.

Although Fast and Furious have climbed more women over the years - such as Gal Gadot, Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren - the participation of female characters has been small in the plot, as Michelle pointed out in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in May:

"I've been making movies with Jordana (Brewster), who plays Don Toretto's sister for 16 years, and I can count on the fingers of one hand how many lines I had that were for her. I find this pathetic and lacking in creativity.

Justice investigates irregularities in the sale of tickets for U2 show

Responsible for the commercialization of tickets is the Tickets For Fun


The Department of Consumer Protection and Defense (DPDC) has opened an investigation to find out if there were any irregularities in the sale of tickets for U2 band shows in Brazil, scheduled for October in São Paulo. Tickets For Fun is responsible.

According to Veja information, consumers denounced an offer of tickets without the effective availability for sale, including for the physically disabled, whose purchase would have been difficult. The next steps in the process include the notification of Tickets For Fun, which should provide due clarification within 10 days. After that, an administrative proceeding can be filed or the procedure can be filed.

The band led by Bono Vox presents on October 19, 21 and 22 at the Morumbi Stadium. The group would do a single show in the country, but ended up marking two more because of the high demand for tickets, whose price ranges from 130 to 1250 reais.


Tickets For Fun chose not to speak on the subject.

Use of ties will no longer be required in the British Parliament

Change also affects journalists who make political coverage in the UK Legislative


British policy has taken a revolutionary step by withdrawing, on Thursday (29), the need for the use of the tie in Parliament. House Speaker John Bercow, known for the "order" cry during heated debates, announced the decision.


"It seems to me that when a member comes to the House with what can be interpreted as work clothes, the question of whether he wears a tie is not central," he said.

The "revolution" was initiated by Liberal Democrat MP Tom Brake, who stepped into the House without a tie, prompting Conservative colleague Peter Bone to question the president over House rules.

Although there is no written code, the habit adopted so far was that men wore a suit and tie, and women somewhat equivalent in formality. The change also affects journalists covering Parliament.

Not everyone liked the decision.

"John Bercow went out of his way to overthrow the tie requirement for men in the House. What comes next? Deputies in slippers and shorts? Asks the Telegraph journalist, Christopher Hope.

Matt Dathan, a reporter for The Sun newspaper, celebrated why Parliament "finally abandoned the nineteenth century."

This is Bercow's latest move to modernize Parliament after ending demands for secretaries to wear wigs.

البحث عن المفقودين في الموصل، بين القنابل والقناصة

وفي الموصل، رجال الانقاذ في محاولة لإنقاذ العائلات دفنوا تحت أنقاض معركة دامية بين الجيش العراقي والمتطرفين الدولة الإسلامية (EI)، سباق ضد عقارب الساعة بين القنابل والقناصة.

أمام جرافات لإزالة جبل من الركام في سحابة من الغبار، عبد الرحمن محمد وشقيقه عمار دخان السجائر واحدا تلو الآخر، تحت الشمس الحارقة و 50 درجة مئوية، والحزن العميق.

تحت كانت تحت الانقاض جثث شقيقه أحمد وأسرته، اختفى بينما كان يحاول الفرار من القتال في حي Zanjili في غرب المدينة.

بعد القضاء على مشاركة الرماة النخبة EI كمين في معبر آل بورصة، أذن الجيش فرق الإنقاذ، يوم الثلاثاء (27) لدخول حي والسعي بين الأنقاض. بعد ثلاثة أسابيع، يبدو من المستحيل العثور على ناجين.

وقال "هناك ودفن 20 يوما، وجميع أفراد الأسرة. انها مأساة،" يرثي عمار.

عبد الرحمن يتمسك بفكرة أن شقيقته وأسرتها غادروا المنزل قبل القصف.

- 'الموصل، والأسوأ "
يوم 6 يونيو، الجيش العراقي يتقدم على قناة Zanjili بينما العديد من المدنيين مقفل في المنزل، بأمر من EI.

في النهاية، استنفدت والجياع، أخذت بعض الفرصة للفرار. بينهم أحمد، شقيق عبد الرحمن وعمار وزوجته وستة أطفال.

في هذا الوقت، شهدت الأسرة المقاتلين EI يصل في الاتجاه المعاكس و "اختبأ مع 30 آخرين من المدنيين في الطابق السفلي من منزل مجاور"، وقال عبد الرحمن.

تعرضت مجموعة من العطش. رجل تقدم لجلب الماء. وكان ذلك له "محظوظ": خارج، رصاصة قناص ضرب خدها وجرح، لا يمكن أن نعود إلى الاختباء.

وبعد دقائق، أصيب منزل في غارة جوية نسبت إلى التحالف الدولي من قبل واشنطن، التي تدعم القوات البرية العراقية التي يقودها.

"ربما لديهم المنزل الخطأ، أو لأنه كان هناك قصف القناصة EI على السطح،" يقترح عبد الرحمن.

وقال الناجي الجرحى الأخوين، الذي إخطار وحدة الدفاع المدني التابعة لوزارة الداخلية لنجدة الناجين وجمع الموتى التي يطالب بها أسرهم لدفنها بكرامة.

"لقد عملنا في الفلوجة والرمادي (مدينتين غرب بغداد)، ولكن الموصل هو أسوأ،" يرثي القائد سعد نوزاد رشيد.

أحيانا يصل رجاله في الوقت المناسب لإنقاذ الأرواح. ولكن في كثير من الأحيان، أن يفوت الأوان.

"نحن لم أر الكثير من الدمار، لذلك العديد من الأطفال والنساء المتضررين، وكله بسبب الكلاب EI"، كما يقول.

- دمى ملونة
توازن غير مستقر على أنقاض. بعد أكثر من ساعة من العمل، تظهر الكائنات قاع الحفرة على عمق عدة أمتار. اثنين دمى ملونة، شقراء الشعر، تنشأ.

في حافة الحفرة، يواجه العقد. فجأة، صرخ المنقذ: "Stoooop".

عبد الرحمن ونهج عمار، محموم. لا البصر البشري. أعلى قليلا، ومع ذلك، يضيء رأس حربي: صاروخ لم ينفجر، مما يهدد في الانخفاض.

حفارة سوف لا أكثر. خصوصا بسبب ان الجيش اكتشف للتو سيارتين مفخختين المجاورة، واحد منهم أقل من 50 مترا.

"انه امر خطير جدا لحفر في هذه الظروف. أولا نحن السماح للجيش تنفيذ إزالة الألغام" قضى القائد رشيد. هذا هو يومين آخرين.

الحب وعبد الرحمن يشعر ضربة. لم يرى أحد أخيه وعائلته في المناطق المحررة في مكان قريب.

لكن الثانية لم يفقد الأمل.

وقال "ربما لاذوا بالفرار إلى البلدة القديمة"، كما يقول، وتبين الدخان الاسود يتصاعد في الأفق في الجزء التاريخي من المدينة، حيث يسعى الجيش مقاتلي EI، وتحيط ومنتشرة بين آلاف المدنيين العالقين بين تبادل إطلاق النار.

UK fears Murdoch influence after Sky purchase

The UK government wants to ensure that the Sky group's purchase project by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox does not give the tycoon too much influence over British politics and media, according to a statement on Thursday.

Culture and Communication Minister Karen Bradley has announced in Parliament that she will call for "a second phase of research on plurality of media" before authorizing the transaction.

Bradley said the two sides have until July 14 to come up with proposals on the subject that would avoid such an investigation.

She justified her decision in a report by the Communications Agency, the media regulatory body, which states: "The operation raises public interest concerns about the risk of increasing the influence of Murdoch's company members on the journalistic agenda and the British political process ".

The Murdoch family owns two of Britain's most influential newspapers, The Times and The Sun, through News Corp.

The 21st Century Fox, better known as Fox, is one of Hollywood's biggest movie studios and owner of several television channels. Fox already has 39.1% of the group of British televisions Sky and acquired the totality by 15 billion dollars.

The Murdoch family took control of Sky, which was called BSkyB in 2012, but had to step down amid the wiretapping scandal of its News of the World tabloid, which eventually closed.

The influence of the Murdoch is not well regarded by Sky's shareholders. In October, members who have no relationship with Fox or the family voted not to renew the term of office of James Murdoch, Rupert's son, on the board.

Atuação de Raquel Dodge frente à PGR ainda é uma incógnita

Escolhida nesta quarta-feira, 28, pelo presidente Michel Temer (PMDB) para substituir o atual procurador-geral da República, Rodrigo Janot, Raquel Dodge ainda é vista como uma incógnita no que diz respeito a sua atuação à frente do Ministério Público. É a primeira vez, desde 2003, que o presidente não escolhe o primeiro na lista tríplice da eleição interna da Associação Nacional dos Procuradores da república (ANPR) - Raquel estava em segundo lugar, atrás do subprocurador Nicolao Dino.

Se passar na sabatina do Senado, Raquel assume a Procuradoria-Geral da República por dois anos e será a primeira mulher a chegar ao cargo - a polêmica em torno do seu nome, porém, parece ter abafado esse fato. A subprocuradora não é alinhada a Janot, que trava um embate histórico com Temer e denunciou o presidente na última segunda-feira, 26.

Ao contrário do atual PGR, a escolhida de Temer mantém boas relações com o ministro Gilmar Mendes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), crítico recorrente dos métodos do Ministério Público Federal na Operação Lava Jato.

Com histórico em processos sensíveis, Raquel participou da Caixa de Pandora, operação que flagrou o então governador do Distrito Federal José Roberto Arruda pegando propina. Nessa investigação, como na Operação Patmos - desdobramento da delação da JBS -, áudios gravados por um investigado foram submetidos a um tenso debate sobre sua legalidade como prova.

Relembre algumas declarações de Raquel Dodge:

LAVA JATO

A subprocuradora Raquel Dodge afirmou, em entrevista ao jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, que, se eleita para a PGR, o enfrentamento à corrupção seria prioritário na sua gestão. "A corrupção ainda não cessou, mesmo após condenações e prisões. É preciso prosseguir neste trabalho até que o dinheiro público desviado seja integralmente devolvido aos cofres públicos, deixe de ser apropriado ilicitamente e passe a ser gasto em serviços públicos de qualidade, que atenda aos direitos fundamentais, garantidos na Constituição e nas leis."

Segundo Raquel, caso seja aprovada no Senado e ocupe a PGR, a equipe que cuida das investigações da Lava Jato será convidada a permanecer. Ela afirma, ainda, que a ampliará já que "novos fatos foram revelados e necessitam de uma atuação célere, para alcançar os resultados previstos na lei penal".

Em seu site, afirmou que os atuais membros da força-tarefa da Lava Jato em Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo e Brasília e outras forças tarefas serão "encorajados a permanecer, uma vez que a composição de cada força-tarefa é escolhida pelo promotor natural, titular do ofício e assim deve continuar."

INVESTIGAÇÃO DO PRESIDENTE

Raquel Dodge afirmou que a abertura de investigação diante de indícios de crime é "obrigação do titular da ação penal" que deve solicitar a avaliação da necessidade da investigação do Supremo Tribunal Federal.

Segundo a subprocuradora, até em casos de crimes praticados antes do mandato é possível realizar a investigação, mas sem apresentar a denúncia. "Me refiro à possibilidade com os argumentos de que ninguém está acima da lei e, também, para preservar os vestígios e as provas. Mas isso deve ser feito com cautela para não manchar o mandato do presidente da República", afirmou.

Com esse posicionamento, a escolhida por Michel Temer para ocupar o cargo de Janot seria a favor de que ele fosse investigado pelos crimes pelos quais foi acusado.

DELAÇÃO PREMIADA

A subprocuradora defendeu a imunidade para os delatores - desde que proporcional ao alcance da colaboração. Raquel afirmou que a legislação penal exige a reparação integral do dano e a devolução total das verbas públicas desviadas. Sem citar o polêmico acordo de delação premiada envolvendo os executivos da J&F;, a escolhida pelo presidente disse que a lei "admite que a sanção penal seja reduzida ou mesmo perdoada, de modo proporcional à colaboração efetivamente feita". Lembrou, ainda, que os acordos celebrados são submetidos ao crivo do Poder Judiciário e "podem ser rescindidos quando alguma cláusula for descumprida".

GESTÃO JANOT

Embora já tenha feito críticas a gestão Janot, Raquel afirmou que a devolução das verbas públicas apropriadas ilicitamente, o desmantelamento dos esquemas de corrupção e a condenação penal são importantes objetivos em curso da atual PGR.

FORÇAS-TAREFAS

Em abril deste ano, Raquel e Janot, tiveram um embate sobre proposta apresentada por ela ao Conselho Superior do Ministério Público Federal (CSMPF). Sua resolução limitaria o recrutamento de procuradores de outras unidades - estaduais, por exemplo - para forças-tarefas e cargos da Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR).

Segundo Dodge, a regra de estabelecer que nenhuma unidade pudesse ceder mais do que 10% do seu quadro total de procuradores tem como objetivo não sobrecarregar as procuradorias. Isso, para a subprocuradora, poderia trazer fortalecimento de outras unidades do Ministério Público Federal e não traria impacto negativo na Lava Jato.

Já Janot afirmou que isso, sim, afetaria negativamente o grupo de trabalho Lava Jato na PGR e outros grupos de trabalhos criados com integrantes de outras procuradorias. O recrutamento de procuradores de outras unidades é um recurso amplamente utilizado para compor grupos de trabalhos relacionados a operações. Só no grupo de trabalho da Lava Jato na PGR, por exemplo, há nove procuradores cedidos por outras unidades.

GILMAR MENDES

No dia em que o ministro do STF Gilmar Mendes criticou a atuação do Ministério Público e afirmou haver "abusos" de juízes e procuradores em investigações, Raquel ouviu provocação do subprocurador Eitel Santiago, que disse que Raquel teria o apoio do ministro.

"Não procurei o ministro (da Justiça) Torquato (Jardim) ou Gilmar Mendes para que apoiassem o meu nome. Tenho me dirigido apenas internamente à classe. Mas caso entre na lista, farei contatos, como com o ministro da Justiça", respondeu Raquel.

10 MEDIDAS DE COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO

Para a subprocuradora, as 10 medidas de Combate à Corrupção contribuíram para o aprimoramento das leis. "Dentre elas, destaco como muito positivas as que tipificam o enriquecimento ilícito, visam recuperar o lucro derivado do crime, garantir eficiência aos recursos no processo penal, a responsabilização de partidos políticos e do caixa dois, e a reforma do sistema de prescrição penal", disse.

DIREITOS HUMANOS

A defesa de direitos humanos e do meio ambiente vão ser reforçadas, segundo a subprocuradora. "Precisamos trabalhar para ter serviços públicos de qualidade, prestados de modo mais eficiente, sobretudo na área da infraestrutura e energia, para reduzir o custo Brasil e assegurar direitos básicos a custo menor", disse, em entrevista ao Estado. "Práticas iníquas como a escravidão contemporânea, o tráfico de pessoas e os crimes ambientais devem ser enfrentadas com rigor."

Raquel também enfatizou que a desigualdade social tem como causas a corrupção e a má gestão administrativa, que "entrega serviços públicos de má qualidade a custos elevados e inaceitáveis".

CONSELHO SUPERIOR DO MPF

A subprocuradora propõe, caso seja eleita para a PGR, a adoção de sistemas de sessões e pautas específicas no Conselho Superior do MPF, além da criação de comissões especializadas de assessoramento do conselho. Em seu site, explicou que pretende convocar audiências públicas, "para esclarecimento de fatos e posições em matéria administrativa, disciplinar e sobre a atividade-fim, e como mecanismo de consulta direta aos membros do MPF". Também está entre suas propostas dotar cada membro do Conselho Superior de um assessor.

Temer, Gilmar Mendes, Padilha e Moreira Franco têm encontro à noite fora da agenda oficial do Planalto

Ainda que a explicação oficial seja de que foi debatida a reforma política, indicação da subprocuradora-geral para chefiar o MPF teria sido discutida

Na véspera do anúncio da escolha da subprocuradora-geral Raquel Dodge para o cargo de procurador-geral da República, o presidente Michel Temer se reuniu com o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) Gilmar Mendes. Também participaram do encontro os ministros da Secretaria Geral, Moreira Franco, e da Casa Civil, Eliseu Padilha.

O encontro, na noite de terça-feira (27), não constava na agenda oficial do presidente. Segundo o Palácio do Planalto, o grupo tratou sobre a reforma política. Porém, segundo O Estado de S. Paulo e o G1, eles discutiram, na realidade, a indicação de Raquel para chefiar o Ministério Público Federal (MPF).

O Planalto não comentou se o tema foi debatido e nem explicou por que o encontro não foi divulgado. Segue a nota do Planalto: "O presidente Michel Temer marcou o jantar com o ministro Gilmar Mendes para discutir reforma política. Ao saberem do encontro, os ministros Eliseu Padilha e Moreira Franco resolveram participar".

A assessoria de imprensa de Gilmar Mendes também afirmou que o tema do encontro foi a reforma política, uma vez que o ministro também preside o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE).

US includes China on blacklist of human trafficking

President Donald Trump's government has attacked China for its human rights record, including China on its list of countries that do little to combat human trafficking.

The U.S. State Department's annual report, published on Tuesday, details the treatment of the Uighur minority, the target of forced labor, and the forced repatriation of North Korean refugees.

US diplomacy estimates Beijing "does not make significant efforts" to remedy such situations.

Beijing "can not reach the minimum levels of combat" to human trafficking.

In this black list are Syria, North Korea, Sudan and Russia.

Massamoord in Srebrenica, een steeds open wond in de geschiedenis van Nederland

De Nederlandse Staat werd gehouden, op dinsdag (27), gedeeltelijk verantwoordelijk voor het doden van 350 moslims tijdens het bloedbad van Srebrenica in 1995, en moet een vergoeding te betalen aan de families van de slachtoffers, 22 jaar na de gebeurtenissen die een schaduw veroorzaakt op geschiedenis.

"Het Hof is van oordeel dat de Nederlandse Staat onrechtmatig heeft gehandeld en veroordeelt de Staat om een ​​gedeeltelijke compensatie te betalen" aan de families van de slachtoffers, zei de rechter Gepke dulek in de aankondiging van de beslissing van de Haagse Hof van Beroep.

Op het moment dat werd opgewacht door familieleden van de 350 doden, die reisde naar de nieuwe aflevering van een van de droevigste hoofdstukken in Nederland te begeleiden.

Tijdens de terugtrekking van een gecontroleerde zone van de VN Nederlandse vredesmacht "hebben de scheiding van moslimmannen en jongens vergemakkelijkt, wetende dat er een reëel risico dat de behandeling zou onmenselijk, of een optreden van de Bosnische Serviërs," zei hij de magistraat.

Hoewel hij de verantwoordelijkheid van de Nederlandse Staat in het bloedbad van 350 moslims erkend en bestelde een financiële vergoeding, de rechtbank een verzoek van de groep Moeders van Srebrenica afgewezen.

Deze vrouwen vroegen voor de betaling van een vergoeding voor de dood van bijna 8.000 moslimmannen en jongens, genocide slachtoffers in Srebrenica, toneel van de ergste gruweldaden in Europa sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Vijfentwintig van hen waren aanwezig op de hoorzitting op dinsdag en, bij het horen van de zin, niet één van hen niet de opstand tegen de rechter Gepke dulek verbergen.

Verschanst in hun basis Nederlandse militairen, die bekend staat als "Dutchbat" ze hadden duizenden vluchtelingen gehuisvest in het VN-enclave.

Onder grote druk, maar eerst hun deuren gesloten ze voor nieuwkomers, waarna men de Bosnische Serviërs te trekken vluchtelingen die al in het gebied. Mannen en jongeren werden vervolgens gescheiden en geplaatst op bussen.

"De Dutchbat moeten de mannen over de risico's die ze liepen en moeten verlaten ze kiezen voor een verblijf aan de basis hebben gewaarschuwd," zei de rechter.

Zelfs met deze uitspraak op het evenement, het Hof van Beroep de Nederlandse Staat veroordeeld tot slechts 30% van de geclaimde compensatie voor de families van de slachtoffers betalen omdat "er geen zekerheid is dat deze mensen niet zou zijn later vermoord, zelfs als ze in waren gebleven enclave".

In 2014 had een lagere rechtbank oordeelde dat de Nederlandse staat verantwoordelijk was voor de dood van 350 Bosnische mannen. Holland in beroep tegen de straf, beweren dat hij op geen enkele manier om genocide te voorspellen gehad.

Zowel de families van de slachtoffers en de Nederlandse Staat in beroep gaan bij de Hoge Raad.

In Nederland is de rol van de vredesmacht die betrokken zijn bij de gebeurtenissen nog steeds veroorzaakt controverse.

Meer dan 200 van hen ook vragen om een ​​vergoeding aan de overheid, omdat ze naar Srebrenica werden gestuurd om te vervullen "een onrealistisch missie in onmogelijke omstandigheden", aldus een verklaring die vorig jaar door de minister van Defensie Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert.

"We'll be a complete beverage company," says James Quincey, president of The Coca-Cola Company

BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Coca-Cola Company is evolving to become a full-service beverage company, reshaping its growth strategy and operating model to align with changes in consumer taste and buying habits, the new president said And the company's chief executive officer, James Quincey, during a conference of the Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) in February.

Quincey said the company's focus is on boosting revenue growth by building and bringing to market "consumer-centric" brands - including more options with low or no sugar content and beverages from emerging categories. Another focus, he said, is to prioritize beverage transactions and share in value over sales volume, as it did in previous years. This new strategy will be stimulated by a leaner operating model and a more digital trading company, he added.


Raising business and reducing sugar

The company is reducing the sugar in its portfolio beverages by reformulating existing products while at the same time preserving the taste consumers love, in addition to globally implementing Coca-Cola zero sugar and other variants with little or no sugar . Expanding the distribution of smaller packages, such as minilatas, is another priority.


"We make it very clear that to drive sustainable and profitable growth of our brands, we also need to encourage and empower our consumers to control sugar consumption. We are making a very conscious effort not only to expand our portfolio, but to shape it in a judicious way. "


Quincey further noted that the company supports the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and other public health bodies to keep sugar added below 10% of daily calorie intake and sees an "exponential" growth opportunity within these recommendations .


Investing in categories of beverages that consumers want

"The Coca-Cola Company has grown to become larger than the Coca-Cola brand," he said. "The Coca-Cola brand will always be the heart and soul of The Coca-Cola Company, but the company has gone further. The company needs to be bigger than our core brand. "

The Coca-Cola Company will expand its portfolio into five category groupings, including energy drinks, milk / juice / herbal, enriched water / water / sports drinks and ready-to-drink coffees and teas.

"Before, we might have spent more time focused on the next big categories, volumetrically, than on those with the highest trend among consumers and that are of greater value to us," Quincey said.

The company will continue to innovate locally, he added, noting that approximately 75 percent of the company's billion-dollar brands were created in the field. "We see that the likely trajectory is accelerating our own innovation and elevating brands that are working," he explained, "but also continuing to invest in smaller companies and making acquisitions to bring more billion dollar brands into the flow."


Refranquia of bottlers almost complete

"The end is in sight," Quincey said of efforts to sell the company's bottling operations worldwide. "But rebirth is not an end in itself. It is an enabler of greater execution. Better marketing and better execution lead to faster revenue growth. "


Leaner, faster operating model

To drive this new strategy forward, Quincey said, an agile operational structure that drives rapid market action will be crucial. "We will adopt a modus operandi more similar to those of technology companies, instead of returning all our efforts and time to invent the perfect thing. We need to launch our projects faster and take more risks. "

He concluded: "The intent of the end result is to drive growth strategy - to increase revenue and improve our operating margin."

Janot pede multa de R$ 10 milhões de Michel Temer e R$ 2 milhões de Rocha Loures

Presidente foi denunciado por corrupção passiva pelo procurador-geral da República na segunda-feira (26)

Na cota da denúncia por corrupção passiva contra o presidente Michel Temer, protocolada nesta segunda-feira (26) junto ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), o procurador-geral da República, Rodrigo Janot, pediu multa de R$ 10 milhões ao peemedebista a título de danos morais coletivos. Ao ex-deputado-federal e ex-assessor de Temer Rodrigo Rocha Loures, Janot pediu penalidade de R$ 2 milhões.

Janot acusa Temer de "ludibriar os cidadãos brasileiros que confiaram nele com 54 milhões de votos".

"Em dimensão menor, mas no mesmo sentido, deve-se registrar que Rodrigo Loures violou a dignidade do cargo que ocupou como Deputado Federal. A cena do parlamentar correndo pela rua, carregando uma mala cheia de recursos espúrios, é uma afronta ao cidadão e ao cargo público que ocupava. Foi subserviente, valendo-se de seu cargo para servir de executor de práticas espúrias de Michel Temer", afirma Janot.

O procurador-geral da República  alegou levar em conta o montante aceito e recebido pelos denunciados, a dignidade do cargo que ocupam, o reflexo do ato espúrio no âmbito interno e internacional, a envergadura dos atores das condutas espúrias para pedir a indenização.

Meet the island of luxury and peace in Miami

Before beginning to write this article, I must make a confession: I had never been to Sunny Isles Beach before. Judging by what you will read next, this will change from now on.


It seems that it was yesterday, when 11 years ago, Sunny Isles Beach, in Greater Miami, saw the birth of the Acqualina Resort & Spa. The impeccable structure of the hotel was a novelty for that region, until then dominated by residential buildings that sprouted between Small independent hotels - all trying to resist the rush of real estate that had already crossed the bridge from Haulover Park to the north coast.


I went to dinner once at the newly opened Acqualina, at the branch of one of my favorite Italian restaurants, Il Mulino New York. Something that struck me on that visit - besides the delicious dinner - was the grandeur and the luxury around.


Good taste already in the lobby

The materials used and the decor of extreme good taste attesting that we were in a resort of high standard.

More than a decade separates that dinner from my first experience as a guest at this venture of two visionary South African brothers, Eddie and Jules Trump (no relation to the current US president).


Starting with location. Anyone who thinks - as I thought - of Sunny Isles was "away" is foolish. This may even be true when you think of Coral Gables - but let's face it, nor are there so many options to justify a trip to Coral Gables. On the other hand, few resorts in the region can - if at all - achieve the tranquility, luxury and comfort of Acqualina, which is part of the LEADING HOTELS OF THE WORLD - LHW. It is able to make you forget that you are within a metropolitan area, just minutes from the Bal Harbor and Aventura Mall malls and the bustle of Miami Beach - our favorite destinations, Brazilians.


The rooms are huge; Some have undergone recent renovation

The 98 rooms and suites are huge (the suite where I stayed was 230 square meters, three bedrooms, living room, dining room and large kitchen). Some units have just undergone a joint renovation designed by architect Isabel Tragash, CEO Deborah Yager Fleming and Stephanie Trump (Jules's wife). The results were light tones, first-class materials and functional spaces that highlight the ocean view while keeping the focus on comfort.

The refuge has a strong vocation "family". Children and adolescents have a recreation service, with a program designed for each age group. Recently, a space was launched with Strider bikes, which have no pedals - a fever among the kids.



The Tranquility Pool is exclusively for adults

Not so teenagers also have their perks there. One of the resort's three pools, the tranquility pool, is exclusively for adults. The pool and beach areas of Acqualina, by the way, are an attraction apart. More than once, I struggled to remember that I was not on a Caribbean island, so the quality and tranquility of the spaces, added to the landscape of the beautiful blue of the sea of the region. I had never seen, for example, a lounge so luxurious, with comfortable sofas and armchairs on a beautiful lawn right on the beach!

ESPA Spa, the first unit of the British network in the United States, is another exclusive item, as is the Royal Suite, decorated by Fendi.



ESPA Spa with Fendi decoration

In terms of gastronomy, the range of restaurants is wide. The relaxed Costa Grill serves lunch and snacks by the beach. At nightfall, the AQ by Acqualina is the right choice, overlooking the sea and Italian-Mediterranean menu. Not to mention, of course, Il Mulino New York and its typical dishes from the Abruzzi region. On Sundays, the special brunch features Il Mulino's menu and live music.



Il Mulino, with dishes from the Abruzzi region

As you would expect in a five star hotel, the care of the well-trained staff helps to make our stay more enjoyable. In the concierge department it is possible to hire nannies, butlers and even dog-walkers.


A curiosity might explain better what I am saying: between the owners of the resort units and the residential tower The Mansions at Acqualina, next to no less than 58 keep a Rolls-Royce in the garage (not to mention the Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini ... ).

The Brazilian who is behind the luxury concept of spas

The trajectory of Renata de Abreu, currently spa consultant, therapist and partner of Spa Home in Miami, has always been linked to wellness and body treatments. For more than 20 years, I have been working with therapies for pregnant women. He then opened a spa in Belo Horizonte and, thanks to him, realized that most of his clients traveled to Angra dos Reis on the coast of Rio de Janeiro during the summer. This is how the idea of personalizing a car and offering services at home emerged, an initiative that was a turning point in his career.


Luciano Huck (Brazilian TV presenter) noticed the personalized cars circulating around the condominium and wanted to know the initiative. When the therapist realized, she was already live on the show "Stars", commanded by the wife of the presenter, Angelica, on TV Globo (Brazil). In 2008, another important fact: after the death of shiatsu master Luiza Sato, the Fasano hotel chain was "orphaned" by a consultant for her spa. "I took the units of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and, later, Punta del Este. At the time, the spa notes increased the hotel's rating in the Leading Hotels of The World, "he recalls.

After graduating from The Chopra Center, the school of Depak Chopra, an Indian physician based in the United States, Renata has become even more committed to treatments that are done from the inside out, which do not deal only with the cosmetic part. The health of the body, mind and food are considered, by her, key pieces for the therapy that proposes.

Currently Renata spends most of her time in Miami, where she inaugurated, in late 2016, alongside project manager Nathalya Benevides, the first physical point of Spa Home in the Sunny Isles Beach region. The next step will be to open more units, as it believes the US market has a lot of potential. The Brickell and West Palm Beach regions are being carefully studied.

Spas consulting is a significant arm of your business. In addition to the Fasano hotels, Renata and a team of professionals have already implemented and renewed concepts in Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. At the moment, his main efforts are concentrated in the spa of the resort Nekupe, Nicaragua, which will be ready in September. "It's a super-luxurious project. The environment of the spa will have an organic vegetable garden, salt room (therapy done in air-conditioned room), ayurvedic medicine treatments and suspended yoga room, "he said.




Nekupe resort environment

Among the current projects are also hotel workshops, focused on the public that seeks to relax and detoxify the day-to-day running. Called Perfect Health, the program detailed in these presentations includes detox feed based on the concepts of ayurveda, meditation, body and facial treatments and instructions that use as a basis for yoga. The most recent edition was held at The Standard in Miami. A treatment day runs for $ 750. New York City should host a workshop soon, at The Mark Hotel (Upper East Side) or The Standard (Meatpacking District).

6 sophisticated restaurants with vegetarian and vegan menus

It was the time to follow vegetarian diets (without animal protein consumption) and vegan (which also excludes other items of animal origin, such as milk and egg) was a hindrance to going out for an out-of-home meal.

Nowadays, many sophisticated establishments invest in specific menus to cater to this audience, which has greatly increased in recent years. Only Veg Map, where vegetarians and vegans register to "register their adherence to the diet," already has 23,200 supporters, but this number is likely to be much higher.




1. Kajitsu, New York

The restaurant, located in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan, serves vegetarian dishes based on the Shojin (Buddhist) cuisine. Each ingredient is prepared to emphasize its flavor. Customers can choose between two styles of tasting menu: four or eight times. One of the main dishes is the "fu", a kind of Japanese bread made from gluten and rice flour.



2. Nix, New York

Chef John Fraser, the same as the Narcissa restaurant (at The Standard Hotel) and the award-winning Dovetail, opened the doors of its vegetarian establishment in 2016. There are dishes such as shitake cacio e pepe (in typical Italian cheese sauce and Pepper), served with green beans and creamy polenta.



3. Pollen Street Social, London

The restaurant is non-vegetarian, but offers à la carte and attractive tasting menus. The eight-stroke option, when served with wine, comes out at 182 pounds. Among the dishes are unusual combinations, such as that mixed grilled broccoli with lemon puree, toasted almonds and seaweed.




4. The Ritz Restaurant, London


The classic restaurant is situated inside the hotel, which is very close to Green Park and Mayfair. In addition to the standard menu - they have options for all meals of the day - it has a very complete vegetarian menu. Among the options are the agnolotti with caramelized onions and pecorino cheese and the gnocchi with broccoli and grilled carrots.




5. Joie by Dozo, Singapore

The restaurant is located on the terrace of the Orchard Central shopping mall. For there, the proposal is to serve modern dishes without meat. All of them are given special care in the assembly, and arrive looking like true works of art. The menu is divided into "hot" and "cold" dishes. Among the hot options is the zucchini tower, served with cream cheese, truffled mayonnaise and beets.




6. D.O.M, São Paulo (Brazil)

Chef Alex Atala's restaurant serves seasonally the menu of the vegetable kingdom. In the last edition, he presented, among the main dishes, roasted black rice with green vegetables and pupunha palm heart fetuccine in butter. The establishment, located in the Jardins, in São Paulo, has two stars in the Michelin guide.

George Clooney and partners sell tequila brand for $ 1 billion

It was a good idea for Amal Clooney to have rejected George Clooney's proposal to baptize the couple's "House" and "Amigo" twins, as the actor's premium premium tequila line, Casamigos, no longer belongs to the family.

Clooney and his associates, Rande Gerber and Michael Meldman, sold the brand to British food giant Diageo for about $ 1 billion. According to the CNBC business channel portal, Diageo will pay $ 700 million in advance, with the potential to shell out another $ 300 million according to business performance over the next ten years.


"If you had asked us four years ago if we had a $ 1 billion company, I do not think we would have answered yes," the actor told Deadline. "The transaction reflects Diageo's confidence in our company and our confidence in Diageo. But we're not going anywhere. We will still be a good part of Casamigos. Starting with a dose tonight. Maybe two. "Clooney, Meldman and Gerber released the label in 2013.

Diageo is a partner and distributor of the brand of Vodka Cîroc, by Sean "Diddy" Comb, a business that has helped him topping the list of FORBES hip-hop artists for many years. The company ranked 261st in the most recent Global 2000 list of FORBES's largest public companies, with a market capitalization of US $ 71.2 billion. Despite being only 20 years old, the liquor company can hold the title of being the holder of some of the world's best-selling brands: Smirnoff vodka, Baileys liqueur, Guinness black beer and Johnnie Walker whiskey. The company has more than 31,000 employees around the world and annual sales of $ 15.25 billion.

While boutique beverage brand ownership is not new to celebrities, going from scratch to a $ 1 billion sale in four years is remarkable. The sale of Casamigos will undoubtedly make other celebrities with brands of drinks more attentive. Musician Kenny Chesney released his Blue Chair Bay rum in 2013 (same year as Casamigos). Singer Toby Keith has been selling Mezcal since 2011. The Florida Georgia Line duo released Old Camp Whiskey last year while Kenny G recently announced Hana Gin. The Hanson brothers sell their own beer, MMMhops, on virtually every stop on the tour.

Mega Pharma contracts Jefferies for debt issuance and possible IPO

Mega Pharma owners have hired Jefferies to explore alternatives to the fourth-largest pharmaceutical group in Latin America, which may include debt issuance and an initial IPO, two people familiar with the matter said.

According to these sources, Mega Pharma would first issue debt earlier this year. Accessing the global debt markets would accelerate a plan by the German family Struengmann for a future listing of the company on the stock exchange.

Mega Pharma, based in the Uruguayan city of Canelones, is controlled by twin brothers Andreas and Thomas Struengmann - also founders of generic drug maker Hexal, which was sold to Novartis 12 years ago.

The idea of ​​the partners is that Mega Pharma, which has $ 1 billion in annual revenue and ten plants that produce for all of Latin America, lists stocks in the United States or Colombia, Brazil or Argentina.

Jefferies, the Struengmanns, and Mega Pharma did not immediately comment. People spoke on condition of anonymity.

The search for investor resources shows how the pharmaceutical sector could gain traction in a region where demand for medicines has increased in recent years. Biotechnology investors around the world are spending more than ever to try to turn businesses into specialty pharmaceutical companies.

In 12 months (through June 22), there were 21 pharmaceutical mergers and acquisitions in Latin America, compared with only five in the same period a decade ago, according to Thomson Reuters.

Based on the value of recent pharmaceutical deals in Latin America, Mega Pharma may be worth about $ 2.5 billion, private equity professionals told Reuters. Mega Pharma's focus on brand-name drugs has protected it from the heavy competition of generic drugs, a segment whose return has declined in recent years, bank professionals said.

Struengmann joined Mega Pharma when Argentina's Laboratorios Roemmers grouped local assets with others in Uruguay, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Venezuela.

The group has slices at German biotech companies Glycotope, Ganómetro and BioNTech, and recently joined investors to buy a Siemens hearing aid manufacturer.

American who earns $ 200 per hour looking for mushrooms

It was not part of a business plan, but a 15-kg edible wild mushroom that grew in the forests on the outskirts of Durham, North Carolina six years ago, was the first sale of the American Frank Hyman. The delicacy was bought by chefs in the center of town for $ 351 in less than three hours.


The lion's mane, an abnormally large mushroom, is favored by the winter weather. It is completely covered by a layer of white hairs - hence the name. This one was so high in an oak that to catch it, Hyman had to climb a 2.5 meter ladder. Clinging to the tree, with a bread knife in one hand and the smell of fresh mushroom on his face, he pulled it out of its natural habitat.

Hyman says he took the mushroom home in five shopping bags, all full. The lion's mane has the color and texture of crabmeat, so it's usually fried as a hamburger and used in recipes "faux crab cakes". But he could not imagine how to eat it all. We then stored one of the bags in the fridge and decided to go out to sell the rest to restaurants while it was still fresh. He returned two hours later, sporting half a dozen checks in his hands.


For first-class edible mushrooms, chefs even pay the kilo the same amount they would pay for filet mignon: something between $ 12 a single Laetiporus mushroom of 2.2 kg can be worth $ 100.

Before that first day with the lion's mane, Hyman never thought he could earn a cent by looking for mushrooms. Seven years ago, he signed up for his first mushroom-hunting treadmill out of sheer willingness to be outdoors and get some food. His idea was at best to meet some nature lovers and return home with a basket of edible and sophisticated small fungi.

But the original idea turned out to be an addiction. Looking for mushrooms looked like a treasure hunt for adults. To Hyman's surprise, these hunts now bring real treasures - on the order of $ 200 per hour. To save time (which increases yield), he has learned to keep an inventory of dates and locations so he can revisit productive trees and add new ones as he finds them.

Heavy rains last October spawned an explosion of maitake, laetiporus and lion mane mushrooms that grow on trees that Hyman had previously encountered. Looking sporadically for mushrooms between Columbus Day (9 October) and Thanksgiving (23 November) last year, he found about 55 kg of these three species. In the end, he earned more than $ 2,500 in about 12 hours of searching and selling.

With these values, it would naturally be tempting to make it a full-time job. Hyman says he knows some people who do this, but he prefers not to take his hobby that far. As an old member of the "gig economy" - a marketplace based on freelance work - he already has a collection of income sources: political campaigning, magazine sales, stone wall building. Looking for mushrooms gives you another opportunity to avoid your biggest fear: a formal job.

For a self-employed and semi-retired worker, mushroom hunting can yield valuable dishes, outdoor fun and perhaps even some quick cash. You do not have to be a fungus mycologist to learn to differentiate edible mushrooms from poisonous ones - you just need to be a careful person and never eat or share anything you are not 100% sure about.

The best way for a beginner to start would be to google somebody who already practices this type of activity in their region or some mushroom rich region for which they plan to travel. Another suggestion is to find sites of professionals of the area or reports on them. So just contact the specialist and attend your classes or express interest in hiring him for a consultancy.

Another key step is to dive into books. A regional guide on mushrooms is the best place to start, in addition to the book "100 Edible Mushrooms" by Michael Kuo (still without Portuguese version). These two and Ellen Zachos' "Backyard Foraging" also make a good trio - Zachos talks about some of the most common mushrooms, as well as edible plants commonly found in gardens.

Finally, it is important to choose the right accessories: a computer to keep an inventory of the dates and locations of your findings, a pocket knife to cut the mushrooms, a brush to remove waste without damaging them, plastic bags for plants and paper bags For mushrooms (so they do not rot) and a basket or bag to carry.

EUROIMMUN- deutsches Labor für $ 1,3 Milliarden gekauft

Das deutsche Unternehmen der Labordiagnostik EUROIMMUN- hat 100% der Anteile für $ 1,3 Milliarden von PerkinElmer US erworben. Der Gründer und Mehrheitslaborpartner , Winfried Stöcker, den Vertrag unterzeichnet und sagten, er froh war, im Jahr 1987 gegründet, ein Unternehmen gewählt zu haben aufrechterhalten kann Wachstum „Ich bin voll und ganz zufrieden mein Geschäft ausgewiesene Experten zu vertrauen. Ich glaube, dass sie in der Lage sein, den anhaltenden Erfolg gewährleisten wir aufgebaut haben „, sagte er.

Die EUROIMMUN- stand in der Branche sich durch ihr Wachstum in den letzten fünf Jahren eine Steigerung von 19% des Umsatzes ausmachen. Der Vorsprung ist im Jahr 2017, dass es $ 310 Millionen erreichen wird. Mit neuen Controller werden die Expansionspläne von Operationen in Brasilien gehalten, wie die Installation einer Fabrik und eine Forschungs- und Entwicklungseinheit und die Übertragung der Zentrale nach São Caetano do Sul, im Großraum São Paulo.

Plataforma que reúne serviços de mobilidade urbana é lançada em São Paulo

Foi lançada, nesta sexta-feira (23), na sede da Microsoft, em São Paulo, a plataforma MOBQI, que reúne informações sobre transporte público, táxis, transporte individual privado de passageiros (Uber e mototaxi) – desde que regulamentado pela Prefeitura Municipal -, estabelecimentos comerciais e segurança pública. Além disso, também há um mapeamento de 70% dos postos de combustíveis do Brasil.

“É possível saber o horário que o próximo ônibus vai passar no ponto em que o passageiro está”, afirma o criador da plataforma, Ernani Machado, proprietário da JMM Tech, desenvolvedora de software do Vale do Jequitinhonha (MG). A MOBQI reúne serviços para o usuário comum e informações para empresas e poder público, permitindo que as concessionárias de ônibus e proprietários de táxis façam o controle financeiro e de manutenção da frota.

Em relação ao transporte coletivo e ao táxi, o serviço é possível desde que a Prefeitura ou a empresa de monitoramento de trânsito participem como aliadas. “Oferecemos ao poder público o serviço desde que ele libere os dados para que os cidadãos também usufruam”, afirmou Machado. Inclusão é o mote que levou o empresário a desenvolver o produto, pois seu objetivo é ser útil para os municípios grandes, como São Paulo, e os pequenos, como Paraty (RJ).

Caso o usuário autorize, a plataforma pode ser utilizada como um aplicativo de relacionamento. “A ideia é que o usuário possa conversar com pessoas que conheceu no transporte público. A funcionalidade somente cobrirá um raio de 100 metros”, explica, ao dizer que a intenção não é competir com Tinder e Happn.

A plataforma também pode ser uma aliada da segurança pública (polícia) e dos serviços de emergência (ambulâncias e bombeiros), permitindo os usuários acionarem qualquer um deles no caso de necessidade. Os profissionais destes serviços também podem utilizá-la para aumentar a eficiência. No caso da polícia, é possível mapear locais de acordo com os tipos de ocorrência.

“Desenvolvemos o MOBQI para ser um facilitador para as pessoas se locomoverem pela cidade, respeitando a legislação existente, e não criando algo novo a partir do confronto”, disse Machado ao explicar que a plataforma pretende desenvolver soluções para o que existe, um modelo de negócio diferente do Uber, que acabou revolucionando algo já implementado.

O empresário teve a ideia depois de algumas viagens ao exterior em que enfrentou dificuldade para encontrar informações sobre os serviços de mobilidade urbana disponíveis e os estabelecimentos comerciais, como restaurantes e lojas. A receita virá de empresas de ônibus (cobrança por veículo) e de taxistas, que vão terão de pagar uma mensalidade de R$ 20. Para o usuário comum, o serviço é gratuito.

O MOBQI tem a parceria da Microsoft, que fornece a arquitetura de sistemas, armazenamento de dados, desenvolvimento de novos negócios e marketing. A plataforma está disponível na web e para os sistemas iOS e Android.

CIA warned Obama that Putin would help Trump

The CIA warned Barack Obama in August 2016 that Russian President Vladimir Putin had hacked the Democratic Party in order to undermine Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and help Republican Donald Trump, according to a Washington Post report this Friday.

Suspicions against Russia have existed since July 2016, when Democratic Party messages were broadcast by WikiLeaks on the eve of the party convention.

But only now has the Washington Post revealed that the United States intelligence service warned the White House several months before Washington publicly accused on October 7, 2016, the Russian government's high ranking of having fostered electronic piracy.

And it was not until January 2017 that the United States nominally accused the Russian president of trying to destabilize the American electoral system to reduce Hillary's chances and help Republican Trump.

In August last year, according to the report, Obama armed a White House task force in secret, demanding that intelligence and security services get as much information as possible and make a list of potential reprisals, ranging from economic sanctions to Cyber ​​attacks.

According to the Post, in addition to Obama's warning directly to Putin at a meeting in China in September, CIA director John Brennan on 4 August telephoned his colleague at the Russian intelligence service, Alexander Bortnikov, A warning. On October 31, a message was sent to Moscow via a secure channel to warn that any interference in the Nov. 8 election would be unacceptable.

But Obama was wary of reacting before the election for fear that Russia would affect the vote and that those actions would be interpreted politically by Republicans as manipulating the election.

Only on December 29 did Obama authorize sanctions: the expulsion of 35 Russian spies, the end of Russian diplomatic residences in the United States and economic sanctions against the Russian secret services.

Secretly, the Democratic president also authorized a delicate joint operation between CIA, NSA and the US cyber command: the deployment of a malware code on Russian infrastructure that could be activated in case of increased tensions.

Being the Post, there is no indication that this Obama order was canceled by his successor, Trump.

Cerveja pode ser melhor que paracetamol no alívio da dor, sugere pesquisa

Apesar de indicar bons resultados, pesquisadores reforçam que é preciso mais estudos que validem o achado

Foi por terra aquele ditado que diz "bebo para ficar mal, se fosse para ficar bem tomava remédio". Pelo menos é o que indica uma revisão de estudos feita por pesquisadores da Universidade de Greenwich que foi publicada no Journal of Pain, dos Estados Unidos.

Segundo os estudiosos, duas doses (aproximadamente 500ml cada) de cerveja são mais eficazes no combate à dor do que analgésicos como paracetamol, por exemplo. Durante a análise de 18 estudos, foi descoberto que os drinks alcoólicos conseguem reduzir em 25% a dor. A explicação para essa redução ainda não está bem clara. Agora, os pesquisadores querem entender se o álcool age nos receptores do cérebro ou na redução dos níveis de ansiedade. 

— Ele pode ser comparado com medicamentos opioides como a codeína e seu efeito é mais poderoso do que o do paracetamol — disse ao The Sun o líder do estudo, Trevor Thompson.

Apesar dos resultados, os pesquisadores alertam que é preciso mais estudos para validar esses achados.

La Fiscalía de España no se opone a sustituir la pena de prisión de Messi por multa

La Fiscalía de Barcelona no se opone a que la pena de 21 meses de prisión contra el jugador argentino Lionel Messi por fraude fiscal sea sustituida por una multa de 400 euros diarios durante el período, anunció una portavoz.

La defensa del crack del Barcelona propuso la opción para evitar la detención del jugador y de su padre Jorge Horacio, condenados a 21 y 15 meses de prisión por un fraude de 4,1 millones de euros a la Hacienda, procedentes de los derechos de imagen del atleta .

La decisión final está en manos de la Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona, ​​que juzgó y condenó el año pasado la camiseta 10 del Barça y la selección argentina.

En España, las penas de prisión inferiores a dos años pueden ser suspendidas y sustituidas por multas si el condenado es reo primario y asumió la responsabilidad civil por su crimen.

Ayudados por asesores fiscales especializados, Messi y su padre organizaron una red de sociedades de fachada en el Reino Unido, Suiza, Belice y Uruguay, con el objetivo de enmascarar las ganancias de derechos de imagen del fisco español.

Entre 2007 y 2009, el jugador firmó contratos con Adidas, Konami, Pepsi y Danone, pero siempre en nombre de esas sociedades.

La defensa alegó el desconocimiento del jugador sobre el manejo de su fortuna para pedir su absolución. Pero el Tribunal Supremo condenó al atleta a 21 meses de prisión y multa de 2,1 millones de euros, el 24 de mayo.

El pago exigido por la Fiscalía es de casi 255.000 euros para Messi y de 182.500 para su padre, considerado un personaje necesario para montar el esquema de empresas por medio del cual fue ocultado del fisco español lo que el jugador recibía por derechos de imagen.

Si la Audiencia no acepta la opción, la Fiscalía también puede aceptar suspender durante tres años la pena, que sería cancelada al final del plazo.

Pero con esta segunda opción, Messi correría el riesgo de ser arrestado en caso de reincidencia en un delito similar durante el período.

Messi fue uno de los primeros atletas investigados en lo que parece una ofensiva de la justicia española contra el fraude en el mundo del fútbol.

Su gran rival en los césped, el portugués Cristiano Ronaldo, del Real Madrid, fue convocado para rendir testimonio el 31 de julio por la acusación de un fraude fiscal de 14,7 millones de euros.

Jorge Mendes va a comparecer para declarar el 27 de junio, investigado de ocultar 5,6 millones de euros en el caso del colombiano Radamel Falcao, cuando jugaba en el Atlético de Madrid.

Otros representantes de Mendes, como el técnico José Mourinho, el argentino Ángel di María, los portugueses Pepe y Fabio Coentrao también están en la mira de la justicia española.

Avião em que estava Gilmar Mendes sofre pane e volta a Brasília

Aeronave pertence à Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB), que informou ter retornado à capital federal por "precaução"

O avião em que estava o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e presidente do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), Gilmar Mendes, em viagem ao Pará, sofreu uma pane na noite da quinta-feira (22), e precisou voltar para Brasília. O aeronave era da Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB), que informou ter retornaram à capital por "precaução".

O voo aconteceu logo após segundo dia de julgamento na Corte para decidir sobre a validade da delação da JBS e confirmar o ministro Edson Fachin na relatoria do caso. Segundo a FAB, o avião saiu de Brasília às 18h45min e, "no decorrer do voo, apresentou uma falha técnica". Ainda não há informações sobre o que pode ter causado o problema.

O ministro viajava à Belém para visitar o Tribunal Região Eleitoral (TRE) do Pará, segundo informou o TSE. A previsão era que Gilmar voltasse na tarde desta sexta-feira (23) à Brasília, mas, após o problema na aeronave, a visita foi cancelada.

Durante o julgamento, Gilmar chegou a trocar farpas com o ministro Luís Roberto Barroso sobre a delação premiada da JBS. A discussão entre os integrantes da Corte girou em torno do impacto de uma eventual invalidação de uma gravação ambiental no acordo de colaboração premiada já firmado.

Como antecipou a colunista Vera Magalhães, do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, Gilmar deve seguir o voto dos outros ministros pela permanência de Fachin como relator, porém fará ressalvas a acordos de colaboração premiada.

Temer se atrapalha e chama rei da Noruega de rei da Suécia

No mesmo discurso, presidente ainda se confundiu ao dizer que, mais tarde, visitaria o "parlamento brasileiro" — na realidade, ele iria ao Legislativo norueguês 

Em seu último dia de viagem à Europa, Michel Temer cometeu uma gafe em pronunciamento de despedida. Em Oslo, na Noruega, o presidente se atrapalhou e chamou o rei da Noruega, Harald V, de "rei da Suécia".

O ato falho ocorreu ao lado da primeira-ministra norueguesa, Erna Solberg. No mesmo discurso, o presidente ainda se confundiu ao dizer que, mais tarde, visitaria o "parlamento brasileiro". Na realidade, ele iria ao Legislativo norueguês.

Embora voltando hoje (sexta-feira) ao Brasil, desde já, com a reunião que tivemos ontem (quinta-feira) com os empresários e da reunião que tivemos agora com vossa excelência e, mais adiante, com o parlamento brasileiro e, um pouco mais adiante, com sua majestade, o rei da Suécia, eu já tenho a mais firme convicção de que, embora muita rápida nossa visita, ela estreita cada vez mais os laços do Brasil com a Noruega — disse Temer.

Mais cedo, no país escandinavo, Temer foi recebido por uma manifestação de militantes ambientais que pediam respeito à democracia, aos direitos humanos e aos direitos indígenas. Em outro constrangimento durante a viagem, o presidente ouviu da primeira-ministra norueguesa que a Lava-Jato preocupa o país europeu.

— Estamos muito preocupados com a Lava Jato. É importante fazer uma limpeza — alertou Erna Solberg.

Durante a viagem de Temer, o governo norueguês ainda anunciou que deve cortar pela metade o repasse ao Fundo Amazônia previsto para o ano que vem. Serão R$ 200 milhões a menos para a proteção da floresta brasileira em razão da insatisfação do país com a recente alto do desmatamento em território brasileiro.

Antes mesmo de embarcar para a Europa, Temer já havia vivenciado uma gafe. A agenda presidencial errou o nome da Rússia, chamando o país de "República Socialista Federativa Soviética da Rússia". Desde 1991, a Rússia se chama Federação Russa — o nome descrito pela agenda de Temer era usado antes do fim da União Soviética.
