Un paquebot totalement hors de contrôle fonce sur des badauds incrédules. À la dérive, le MSC Opéra, monstre de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de tonnes, racle le quai du port de Venise (Italie). Des passagers d’un bateau voisin évacuent à la hâte leur embarcation, juste avant qu’il soit percuté. Malgré la violence de la collision, seuls quatre blessés légers sont à déplorer. “Nous avons entendu le bateau qui klaxonnait très fort lorsqu’il était vers les radeaux. Nous nous sommes avancés et nous l’avons vu dévier [de] sa route“, décrit un témoin de la scène.Les géants des mers bientôt bannis de VeniseL’impact s’est produit sur le canal de la Giudecca. Le lieu, aux portes du centre-ville de Venise, est prisé des paquebots, car il offre une vue imprenable sur la ville. Mais de nombreux habitants ne veulent plus de ces navires trop gros, qui menacent les fondations de la ville et la lagune. “Aujourd’hui, c’est la démonstration empirique de ce que nous disons depuis le début”, explique Tommaso Cacciari, membre du comité No grande navi. Le ministère de l’Environnement n’en veut plus non plus. Depuis un an et demi, un nouveau terminal maritime est en construction pour bannir ces géants des mers du centre de Venise.Le JT

“Sin City 2 : A Dame to Kill For” se concrétise enfin ! Attendu depuis de nombreuses années, le long métrage prend peu-à-peu forme, avec un tournage prévu dès cet été, pour une sortie, en 3D, en octobre 2013 aux Etats-Unis.

Qu’il est bon de pouvoir parler de Sin City 2 sans employer le conditionnel ou des formules telles que “Un jour, Robert Rodriguez le fera, mais pas demain. Demain y a Spy Kids 4” ! Attendu depuis un bon bout de temps (2005 et la sortie du premier opus, pour être précis), le long métrage se concrétise de plus en plus. Et si la confirmation des retours de Jessica Alba et Mickey Rourke tient du secret de polichinelle, la production a promis quelques grands noms pour enrichir un casting qui se réunira dès cet été, pour les prises de vues. Des acteurs que les américains pourront ensuite découvrir, en 3D, à partir du 4 octobre 2013, jour de sortie d’A Dame to Kill For. Attendez-vous donc à d’autres news (et peut-être l’officialisation des arrivées de Johnny Depp et Angelina Jolie, un temps annoncées), dans les jours à venir, tout en ayant une pensée pour Nick Stahl, inteprète de Roark Jr. dans l’épisode 1, et qui est porté disparu depuis le mercredi 9 mai.

La Sud-Africaine Caster Semenya a accusé, mardi 18 juin, la Fédération internationale d’athlétisme (IAAF) de s’être servie d’elle “comme d’un rat de laboratoire” dans le passé, alors qu’elle conteste en justice le nouveau règlement concernant les athlètes hyperandrogènes.
La double championne olympique du 800 m accuse dans un communiqué l’IAAF d’avoir expérimenté sur elle un traitement hormonal destiné à réduire son taux de testostérone, ce que le nouveau règlement de la fédération exige désormais de la part des athlètes hyperandrogènes pour concourir au niveau international du 400 m au mile (1 609 m). L’IAAF estime qu’un taux de testostérone élevé offre à ces athlètes un avantage injuste dans la catégorie féminine.”Je n’autoriserai pas l’IAAF à m’utiliser, moi et mon corps, une nouvelle fois “Dans le communiqué, Caster Semenya se félicite de la publication par le Tribunal arbitral du sport (TAS) des détails de sa décision du 1er mai, qui l’avait pourtant déboutée de son recours contre le nouveau règlement de l’IAAF. La décision complète a été publiée après l’accord de Semenya, de la fédération sud-africaine d’athlétisme et de l’IAAF, les trois parties du dossier, a précisé le TAS.“L’IAAF m’a utilisée comme un rat de laboratoire dans le passé pour expérimenter la façon dont le traitement qu’ils voulaient me faire prendre abaisserait mon niveau de testostérone”, indique Semenya citée dans le communiqué. La Sud-Africaine fait référence aux mois qui ont suivi son premier titre mondial de 2009 : soumise à des tests de féminité et interdite de compétition pendant onze mois, elle indique avoir suivi ce traitement sur demande de l’IAAF.“Bien que ce traitement hormonal m’ait fait me sentir malade de façon constante, l’IAAF veut maintenant l’imposer à un degré encore plus élevé sans connaître les éventuels effets secondaires”, dénonce Semenya. “Je n’autoriserai pas l’IAAF à m’utiliser, moi et mon corps, une nouvelle fois.”

Irish banks need an extra €24bn

Stress test results bring the total cost of the bail-out of Ireland’s banks to €70bn.

Four of Ireland’s banks need €24 billion of additional capital, according to the latest round of stress tests.

Of that total, approximately €13bn is needed by just one lender, Allied Irish Banks (AIB), to enable it to withstand potential further losses.

The new total will take the final bill for bailing out Ireland’s banking system to €70bn – compared with the initial forecast of €46bn.

The results of the stress tests were announced this evening by Patrick Honohan, the governor of Ireland’s central bank.

He told reporters that Ireland’s difficulties were “one of the costliest banking crises in history”.

He said he hoped that confidence would come back to Ireland’s banking sector once banks were forced to hold more capital. Currently they rely on short-term funding from the European Central Bank (ECB).

In addition to €13.3bn needed by Allied Irish, Bank of Ireland requires €5.2bn, EBS building society needs €1.5bn and Irish Life and Permanent needs €4bn. The money will come from the bail-out fund created by the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced in November.

Speaking to the Irish parliament today, Michael Noonan, Ireland’s finance minister, said: “The country has been left with an appalling legacy –  a legacy of debt, of unemployment, of emigration, of falling living standards and of low morale.”

Noonan said he wanted to “break the vicious cycle of the massive dependence of the banks on the state”.

It now seems likely that all Irish banks will come under state control. Noonan announced that the government would reduce the number of domestic banks to two new “universal pillar banks”, which will be created from the existing institutions.

Bank of Ireland will remain while AIB and EBS are likely to be merged. Irish Life and Permanent will be radically restructured while the two remaining institutions, Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society, will be merged and wound down.

Noonan added: “This radical restructuring of the banking system is designed to put the banking system on a firm footing for the future and break the bonds with our toxic banking past.

“This is essential for our economy. It is essential for our country. From here, therefore, we move forward with purpose.”

The government said it would submit new restructuring plans for the banks to the European Commission for approval under state aid rules.

Ways to close the open palm

The MEP cash-for-influence scandal exposes fatal flaws in the European Parliament’s transparency regime.

The credibility of the European Parliament has been dealt a blow by allegations in the most recent edition of a British paper, the Sunday Times, that three of its members took secret payments to table amendments on behalf of a lobbying firm representing private clients. Two of the MEPs have already resigned over the affair, and the third is fighting a desperate rearguard action.

The Parliament’s accessibility to a wide range of interest groups is one of its chief virtues. It is also its Achilles heel, as evidence mounts that a well-financed corporate lobby has abused this access and a small number of MEPs have taken advantage of weak lobbying controls to pervert the EU legislative process for their personal gain.

Open and transparent lobbying is part of the healthy functioning of democratic institutions. When shrouded in secrecy, it can become the cloak for unethical and sometimes illicit behaviour. This undermines the work of the majority of hard-working and scrupulous MEPs who rely on in informed dialogue with a range of actors to carry out their duties.

In spite of the risks, the Parliament has neglected to put in place basic procedures to safeguard its ethical reputation. There is still no ethics committee. There is no explicit code of conduct for MEPs to adhere to. The provisions for disclosure of financial interests and other conflicts of interest are weak and voluntary. There is no way of tracking how the advice and other information sought by MEPs is translated into legislation. Sanctions are risible (ten days’ suspension), and enforcement mechanisms practically non-existent. The creation of a ‘transparency register’ of lobbyists, which will soon cover the Parliament and the European Commission, was a positive step, but it relies on voluntary disclosure.

Tougher rules

There needs to be a new and robust code of conduct that would replace the ineffectual provisions in the Parliament’s current rules of procedure. This is essential not only to prevent corruption, but also to protect those MEPs who work in a wholly accountable manner, by (for example) voluntarily publishing details of their meetings with lobbyists. This new code would include: proper ethical standards regarding conflicts of interest; detailed and up-to-date reporting requirements on MEPs’ financial interests and their membership of organisations; the obligation to publish a ‘legislative footprint’ (a formal record of how advice received influences reports and amendments); and special requirements for MEPs who are selected as rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs.

Codes of conduct can become mere lip service to transparency and ethics unless accompanied by robust supervision and enforcement. Without such credible measures to prevent conflicts of interest and corruption at the EU level, institutions such as the Parliament risk undermining European democracy and risk a further loss of EU citizen’s trust in their work.

There is one final, critical point. These allegations are so grave that there has to be doubt that the Parliament will be prepared to tackle all the issues raised as thoroughly and effectively as is needed. The investigation of these accusations should therefore not be solely an internal Parliamentary matter, and we therefore welcome the news that the EU’s own anti-fraud watchdog, OLAF, has launched an investigation and that the anti-corruption agencies in Slovenia and Romania are also conducting their own inquiries.

The European Parliament should now be prepared to lift the immunity of any MEP who may have contravened the anti-corruption legislation of the member state they represent. Taking these steps would be a powerful signal to the electorate that the European Parliament prizes integrity above self-regulation.

Member states asked to clarify spending positions

Poland sends questionnaire to EU affairs ministers in bid for opinions on Commission’s proposal.

The Polish presidency of the EU’s Council of Ministers is aiming to clarify national governments’ positions on the Union’s multiannual financial framework for 2014-20 during two days of talks among the bloc’s European affairs ministers next week.

A questionnaire drafted by the presidency was sent to the ministers on Monday (18 July) by Mikolaj Dowgielewicz, Poland’s secretary of state for European affairs. It poses three questions for member states to answer at the informal talks that take place at the Polish Baltic Sea resort of Sopot on 28-29 July. Dowgielewicz said that the entire meeting would be devoted to the issue, giving member states a first chance to react, behind closed doors, to the European Commission’s proposals.

Member states are asked if they agree with the Commission’s plan to impose more conditions on EU funds and to simplify the rules for obtaining funding. The questionnaire also seeks views on the Commission’s ideas about linking spending closely to the Europe 2020 strategy to boost jobs and growth. And it asks whether member states are willing to increase spending in areas where the EU has more powers under the Lisbon treaty, such as justice and home affairs and external relations.

Crisis awareness

Dowgielewicz said that the talks would be used to “enlighten” member states on the proposal that the Commission presented on 29 June. That recommended a total of €1,053 billion in commitments – the money governments agree to provide for the EU’s spending needs. An initial discussion, at a meeting on Monday of the General Affairs Council, was intentionally kept short to avoid stoking a pre-emptive fight among member states. Janusz Lewandowski, the European commissioner for financial programming and budget, used the talks to defend the Commission’s proposal. He said that the Commission “was absolutely aware” of the budgetary crisis in many member states, and that this was reflected in the proposal. He added that the proposal would impose “a nominal freeze” on the two largest spending programmes in the EU budget: cohesion policy and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

‘Strong reluctance’

After the meeting, Jean Leonetti, France’s European affairs minister, told reporters of “a strong reluctance” to accept the Commission’s proposal. He said France would urge more restrained spending to reflect budget cuts at national level – echoing reactions in the UK and the Netherlands. Leonetti also indicated that France would push for spending on the CAP to remain a priority.

UK officials said that, taking account of inflation, the Commission’s proposal represented an 11% above their stated desire for a freeze in real terms. Germany, Finland, France, the Netherlands and the UK have called for commitments over the next mulitannual financial framework to exceed the 2013 level “with a growth rate below the rate of inflation”.

The former Gunners star admits “a really hard decision” needs to be made in north London, with a prized asset yet to commit to a new contract

Mesut Ozil is part of a “huge problem” for Arsenal when it comes to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future, says Paul Merson, with the Gunners struggling to get a key man tied to a new contract.

Retaining the services of a prolific frontman is considered to be a top priority  for those at Emirates Stadium.

Aubameyang’s current deal in north London is only due to run until the summer of 2021, with talk of a possible big-money transfer being sparked as a result.

More teams

Merson admits it would be “a disaster” for Arsenal to lose the services of their current captain, with Mikel Arteta needing to build around his most reliable attacking weapon.

Agreeing an extension with a 30-year-old performer will not be easy, though, with the lucrative terms presented to World Cup winner Ozil in 2018 only serving to complicate matters further.

Ex-Gunners star Merson told Sky Sports:  “It would be a major disaster for Arsenal if they lost Aubameyang, however, the decision will be weighed up and at least it will be the club’s decision as to what they do.

“Do they give him £300,000-a-week? I’ve always said they will have a problem until Mesut Ozil leaves the club. Every day he’s there, every other top player will want what he’s on. It’s a huge problem and not a new one.

“If they want to keep Aubameyang they will have to pay him big money, but Arsenal may look at it and think if we give him £300,000-a-week for the next two or three years, is he going to be the same player? He’s nearly 31 and by the time he’s 34 he’s not going to be the same player. I don’t care who you are, at 34 you are not the same player.

“Arsenal may also weigh it up asking if they will win the Premier League or get into the top four in the next few years if they pay Aubameyang £300,000-a-week. They haven’t actually done it yet with him there, so they may look at it and say it is good business to let him go.

“There’s also the danger of giving him big money, just like they did with Ozil, and then every other player wanting the same. It would take you straight back to the Ozil scenario and if you do spend all that money on him and you don’t get into the top four it’s not money well spent.

“It’s a really hard decision and it will all come down to how the club weigh it up.”

Aubameyang has offered no indication that he is looking for a way out of Arsenal, declaring himself to be “really happy” in his current surroundings,  but the Gunners will be wary of allowing him to head towards free agency, regardless of his obvious value to the collective cause.

The former Everton midfielder was at Goodison Park when a modern-day great burst onto the scene and admits to having spotted potential early

Wayne Rooney, Manchester United and England’s all-time leading goalscorer, had everyone believing he would be “special” from the moment he burst onto the scene at Everton, says Leon Osman.

An exciting teenage talent announced himself to the world when scoring a stunning Premier League effort for the Toffees against Arsenal in October 2002.

Rooney was just 16 at the time, but he had been registering on the radar of those around him at Goodison Park for some time prior to his senior breakthrough.

Osman formed part of the Toffees fold at that time and says he always knew that a man who has gone on to cement a standing as a modern-day great was destined to reach the very top.

“From the moment he walked into the training ground you knew he was going to be special,” Osman told The Sportsman.

“Already, physically developed; I’m four or five years older than him and he was already bigger and more powerful than me so you knew he was going to be a player. Even when he was 14, there were videos going round of ridiculous things he was doing in youth cup matches.

“One of the moments you go out before training to get warm, players having a chuckle and passing the ball and Wayne would just charge out and claim he’s going to hit the crossbar from the halfway line, something I couldn’t think about and he took it, hit the bar and you think ‘Who’s this kid here?! No chance, that’s a fluke.’ Then he did it again, twice on the run. Who is this kid?”

Rooney would take in 77 senior appearances for Everton before securing a £25 million ($29m) move to United in the autumn of 2004.

A record-breaking haul of 253 goals was recorded with the Red Devils, while taking his tally of England efforts up to 53 in 120 international outings.

Osman insists those exploits came as no surprise to him, with a fellow product of the Toffees’ academy system saying: “No, none at all.

“There was disappointment we couldn’t keep him at Everton longer than we did but he’s gone on to be Manchester United’s all-time scorer, he’s England’s current record goalscorer, he was always going to achieve things.”

Rooney is back in English football with Championship side Derby having taken in a second stint at Everton and a productive 18-month spell in MLS with D.C. United after leaving United in 2017.
