Gazprom, the world’s biggest natural gas supplier, plans to send 63 billion cubic meters through a proposed link under the Black Sea to Turkey, fully replacing shipments via Ukraine, Chief Executive Officer Alexey Miller said during the discussions. About 40 percent of Russia’s gas exports to Europe and Turkey travel through Ukraine’s Soviet-era network.
Gazprom has reduced deliveries via Ukraine after price and debt disputes with the neighboring country that twice in the past decade disrupted supplies to the EU during freezing weather.
“Transit risks for European consumers on the territory of Ukraine remain,” Miller said in an e-mailed statement. “There are no other options” except for the planned Turkish Stream link, he said.
“We have informed our European partners, and now it is up to them to put in place the necessary infrastructure starting from the Turkish-Greek border,” Miller said.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after the meeting that European interior ministers had agreed to boost cooperation in an effort to thwart further jihadist attacks.
"We need to work more closely with Internet companies to guarantee the reporting and if possible removal of all content that amounts to an apology of terrorism or calls for violence and hatred," he said.
France announced Wednesday that 54 people had been arrested since the Paris terror attacks in a country-wide crackdown on hate speech, anti-Semitism and the glorification of terrorism.
The government is also working on new phone-tapping and other intelligence efforts against terrorism that it wants nailed down by next week, government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said Wednesday.
The government is launching a deeper project to rethink education, urban policies and its integration model, in an apparent recognition that the attacks exposed deeper problems of inequality both in France and especially at its neglected, often violence-ridden suburban housing projects.
@Orion não costumas ver muito cinema ou séries pois não ?
. Vi essa notícia do filme e fiz apenas um comentário para relativizar (tudo é relativo nesta vida incluindo os filmes - não, não é ódio aos americanos). Uma operação antiterrorismo foi iniciada esta quinta-feira pela polícia em várias cidades da Bélgica, tendo resultado na morte de dois suspeitos jihadistas em Verviers, no leste do país, que alegadamente planeavam ataques iminentes, uma semana depois dos atentados de Paris. A operação policial de grande envergadura, dada como concluída esta manhã, levou à detenção de 13 pessoas que, segundo as autoridades belgas, estavam a organizar ataques para “matar polícias”.
Perguntei porque já em tempos fiquei com essa sensação, a propósito daquele filme (fracote por acaso) lá da morte do Kim Jong-Un.
Israel is planning to demand an apology for a controversial cartoon that appeared in the British Sunday Times, Israel’s ambassador to London said Monday, while one minister mulled steps against the paper.
One day after the caricature sparked outrage among Jewish groups for its depiction of a bloodthirsty Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall with the blood and bodies of Palestinians, leading Israelis joined the chorus of condemnation.
Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire CEO of News Corp., which owns The Times, nevertheless tweeted a harshly worded apology.
Gerald Scarfe has never reflected the opinions of the Sunday Times. Nevertheless, we owe major apology for grotesque, offensive cartoon.
If governments are unable to protect Jews in Europe, at least a few people in each Jewish community should be permitted to carry a gun, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, General Director of the European Jewish Association, told RT.
