Scandale en Corée du Sud. Plus de 800 couples ont été filmés à leur insu lors de relations sexuelles dans des motels et ces images, diffusées en direct sur internet. Selon la police, interrogée jeudi 21 mars par l’AFP, c’est l’un des exemples les plus intrusifs de l’épidémie de caméras-espion qui frappe la Corée du Sud. Le pays est confronté à une épidémie de “molka” – caméras cachées –, la plupart du temps installées par des hommes pour filmer les femmes dans les lieux publics, toilettes, transports ou bureaux.Cette dernière affaire est inhabituelle cependant par son ampleur, les images étant retransmises en direct et les victimes étant des couples. Selon la police, quatre hommes sont soupçonnés d’avoir installé des caméras minuscules – avec un objectif d’un millimètre de diamètre – dans 42 chambres de 30 motels, cachées dans les porte sèche-cheveux, les prises murales et les téléviseurs.Plus de 800 couples “piégés” en trois moisLes images étaient diffusées en direct, 24 heures sur 24, par un site internet qui comptait 4 000 abonnés et domicilié sur un serveur à l’étranger. Certains abonnés versaient en outre un supplément mensuel de 50 000 wons (40 euros) pour accéder à des contenus “exclusifs”, c’est-à-dire des morceaux choisis des images volées.Plus de 800 couples apparaissent sur ces images filmées sur trois mois, la plupart en train d’avoir des relations sexuelles, a dit la police. “Environ 50% des 1 600 victimes sont des hommes”, a précisé à l’AFP un porte-parole. Le gang a amassé sept millions de wons (5 400 euros environ). Deux suspects ont été arrêtés, deux autres font l’objet d’une enquête. En 2017, plus de 5 400 personnes soupçonnées de “molka” ont été arrêtées en Corée du Sud, mais seulement 2% ont été condamnées à de la prison.Des milliers de femmes ont manifesté plusieurs fois contre le “molka” l’année dernière dans le cadre du mouvement mondial #MeToo contre les violences faites aux femmes. En Corée du Sud, les motels offrent une alternative moins onéreuse aux voyageurs mais sont aussi appréciés des couples désireux d’échapper aux regards de leurs parents et famille en général.

La situation est toujours catastrophique au Mozambique et au Zimbabwe. Les deux pays ont été inondés par le passage du cyclone Idai la semaine dernière et au moins 15 000 personnes sont toujours bloquées sans eau et sans nourritures dans des zones difficilement accessibles. Au Mozambique, un hélicoptère que France 3 a suivi vient en aide aux rescapés réfugiés sur les toits des maisons. D’autres n’ont pas trouvé de refuge et attendent dans l’eau. Le secouriste doit lutter contre le courant pour les arracher aux flots et les embarquer dans l’hélicoptère.Le temps presseDes centaines de personnes ont trouvé refuge dans un stade, mais seule une poignée d’entre elles peuvent monter dans l’hélicoptère. Près de deux millions de personnes sont touchées dans ce pays. Et la colère commence à monter, notamment dans un camp de réfugiés où l’aide humanitaire tarde à arriver. Le temps presse. Sur la plage de Beira, deuxième ville du Mozambique, des rescapés continuent à arriver par dizaines. Ils sont ensuite dirigés dans des centres de soin. Le bilan du cyclone et des inondations est lourd : on compte déjà près de 400 morts et 10 000 habitations détruites.Le JT

Après Boris Karloff, Robert De Niro ou Vincent Perez, c’est au tout d’Aaron Eckhart de prêter ses traits à la célèbre créature dans “I, Frankenstein”, adaptation du comic book du même nom dont la première photo est en ligne.

Sur le plan vestimentaire, Aaron Eckhart est assez éloigné de l’image qu’on se fait de la créature de Frankenstein, avec son jean et son sweat à capuche. Mais l’explication de cette tenue réside sans doute dans le fait qu’I, Frankenstein se déroule de nos jours. Adapté du comic book homonyme par Stuart Beattie (scénariste de Pirates des Caraïbes), le film mettra le personnage aux prises avec deux clans d’immortels qui s’affrontent et sortira dans un peu moins d’un an. De quoi nous laisser le temps d’admirer la première photo d’Aaron Eckhart, avec costume et maquillage.

Le 2 avril 2019, dans le parc national Queen Elizabeth, en Ouganda, quatre hommes armés ont tendu une embuscade à un mini bus transportant des touristes. Une Américaine de 35 ans et son chauffeur ont été pris en otage et une rançon de 500 000 dollars a été réclamée.Ouganda, RDC, Kenya, aucun de ces pays n’y échappe. Certains cumulent attaques terroristes, enlèvements crapuleux et opérations de braconnage. Ainsi, le parc national des Virunga (PNVI) dans le Nord-Kivu en RDC a été interdit aux touristes pendant plus de neuf mois. En mai 2018, trois personnes dont deux touristes y ont été enlevées. Un ranger a trouvé la mort lors de l’attaque.En un peu plus de deux mois, le parc national a affiché un bilan dramatique : deux militaires, un civil, cinq gardes et un chauffeur ont été tués lors de diverses attaques d’hommes armés non identifiés. En 20 ans, 176 personnes y ont été tuées. Emmanuel de Mérode, son directeur, a lui-même survécu à une attaque en 2014.L’abri de la forêtDe l’autre côté de la frontière, à l’est, on trouve l’Ouganda et le parc national Queen Elizabeth. La porosité des frontières et les forêts impénétrables favorisent les coups de main et la fuite, dans cette région instable qui pullule de groupes armés.

C’est en Ouganda justement, le 1er mars 1999, que 14 touristes occidentaux séjournant dans le parc animalier de Bwindi sont enlevés par une centaine de rebelles hutus rwandais. Le parc est, lui aussi, proche de la frontière avec la RDC. L’enlèvement est, cette fois, politique, les rebelles accusant Américains et Britanniques de soutenir la minorité tutsie au Rwanda. Le rapt se passe mal. Huit otages sont tués : quatre Britanniques, deux Américains et deux Néo-Zélandais. Les six autres otages sont finalement libérés.Le Kenya avec ses parcs animaliers et ses sites côtiers attirent les touristes et avec cette double destination les risques d’enlèvement sont plus élevés. Ainsi en 2013, il y a eu environ 74 enlèvements avec demande de rançon. Souvent les étrangers sont enlevés à proximité des frontières.D’abord les femmes et les enfantsMais ne nous y trompons pas, les premières victimes de ces prises d’otages sont avant tout les populations locales. En 2018, les évêques ougandais s’alarmaient de l’augmentation du nombre d’enlèvements. 42 cas pour les quatre premiers mois de l’année. “Les victimes sont majoritairement des femmes et des enfants et le versement de la rançon par les familles ne garantit pas toujours leur retour”, écrivait le journal La Croix.En RDC, dans le Nord-Kivu, on enlève des enfants, mais également des prêtres. En particulier lorsqu’ils s’engagent dans le champ politique et social. Quand l’église réclame “le respect des valeurs comme la justice, la paix et la réconciliation”, les bandes armées ne tardent pas à réagir et kidnappent des religieux.Même si ces actions sont globalement crapuleuses, elles peuvent avoir un effet direct sur l’économie, en faisant fuir les touristes. Un aspect qui inquiète les autorités kényanes.Click Here: West Coast Eagles Guernsey

Business in brief

Portuguese credit

Credit ratings agency Moody’s on Tuesday (13 July) downgraded Portugal by two steps to A1, four steps below the top triple-A rating. It said that the country’s financial strength would “continue to weaken over the medium term”. The decision led to criticism from the European Commission, which cited it as further evidence of the need to increase the number of firms that issue ratings.

Deposit guarantees

Click Here: cheap sydney roosters jersey

EU member states should harmonise their bank-deposit guarantee schemes, the Commission proposed on Monday (12 July). It wants minimum contributions, swifter pay-outs and mandatory coverage for all savers. The banking sector is highly critical of the proposals.

Investor compensation

The Commission on Monday proposed that member states should raise their limits on compensation available to victims of fraud or negligence, from €20,000 per investor to €50,000.

Bond purchases

Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), said on Thursday (8 July) that there was a “diminishing” need for an emergency bond purchase programme introduced at the height of the EU’s debt crisis. The ECB uses the programme to support prices for eurozone sovereign debt.

Interest rates

The ECB decided on Thursday to keep eurozone interest rates unchanged, for the 14th consecutive month. The bank’s main refinancing rate is 1.0%, a historic low.

Car prices

The cost of car repairs in the EU rose by 1.5% in 2009, while maintenance costs rose by 1.7%, according to Commission figures released on Thursday. The price of new cars fell by 0.6%.

Taking biodiversity for granted

An important message is not being heard.

With barely three months of the year left, there is, unfortunately, little to show for the International Year of Biodiversity. 

The Convention on Biological Diversity meets next month in Nagoya, Japan, and there is doubt whether participants will show the political will necessary to reach an effective and sustainable agreement (“The EU’s environmental credibility under scrutiny”, 2-8 September). But as Janez Potocnik, the European commissioner for the environment, said last week, “we can’t afford to mess up”.

The message is not being heard. The furore that surrounded the Copenhagen climate-change conference is absent for Nagoya. The European Parliament last week failed to pass a written declaration on the need for protection of biodiversity. Why? Are there doubts about its importance to sustaining life and the threats to its overexploitation?

The evidence of biodiversity loss, and of the effects this will have, is unequivocal. The fields our farmers sow, the fish our fishermen catch, the plants our pharmacologists turn into medicines – these are products and services that entirely depend on biodiversity. Unfortunately, they are taken for granted.

There is a need to engage the citizens of Europe. Only clear and popular will for action will galvanise politicians to make the initial financial sacrifices necessary to protect biodiversity. Short-term costs win more attention than long-term benefits, while the evidence of the rewards of long-term investment goes unheeded.

Biodiversity could certainly do with some advice from climate-change campaigners. The two issues are intrinsically linked, but do not occupy the same place in the European consciousness.

We must protect biodiversity and our ambitions must be far-reaching. Bold action is needed. Campaigners, the European Commission and elected representatives all have important roles to play.

Apathy or a lack of understanding may account for the Parliament’s failure to support the biodiversity declaration last week. But whatever the reasons, we cannot afford more of the same.

Commission backs Murdoch in Italian TV access row

Sky Italia allowed to applyfor digital frequency as decision goes against Silvio Berlusconi.

The European Commission this week decided to back Rupert Murdoch in his battle on the Italian market for pay-television with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. 

On Tuesday (20 July), the Commission decided to allow Sky Italia, a satellite television subsidiary of Murdoch’s News Corporation, to apply for a frequency to provide digital terrestrial television (DTT). The Commission had previously barred Sky Italia from holding DTT frequencies until the end of 2011, as a condition of approving, in 2003, Sky’s purchase and merger of two pay-TV companies – Stream and Telepiù.

In November last year, Sky Italia asked the Commission to relax this condition to allow it to seek frequencies for DTT that are about to be allocated. Sixteen frequencies out of a total of 21 have already been allocated to operators by AGCom, the Italian telecoms regulator.

Despite strong lobbying by the Italian government, the Commission agreed to end Sky Italia’s exclusion early, though it said the company could apply for only one of the five remaining frequencies.

Berlusconi dominates Italy’s media market. The prime minister has a 38.6% stake in Mediaset, which owns three of Italy’s seven national television channels and a film production company, Medusa, as well as the country’s biggest advertising company, Publitalia. Berlusconi also has indirect political control over the public broadcaster RAI, which has three terrestrial television channels.

Paolo Romani, Italy’s telecoms minister, criticised the Commission’s decision, saying on Tuesday that the decision was “serious and unjustified” and would hurt competition in the Italian market.

Appeal process

Mediaset, which owns some of the 16 DTT frequencies that have already been allocated, said it would appeal against the Commission’s decision, saying that Sky Italia was a “monopolist” in satellite and pay television and that the decision gave “free rein” to the company to acquire frequency assets that were “already insufficient for existing operators”.

Tom Mockridge, Sky Italia’s chief executive officer, said the Commission’s decision “confirmed the Italian TV market has undergone significant changes in the last few years”. He said that if Sky Italia was successful in its bid to win the DTT licence, it would benefit Italian consumers and potential advertisers.

The Commission justified its decision, saying that its analysis had shown that there was competition on the Italian pay-TV market. It pointed out that Mediaset and Telecom Italia had entered the market for DTT services, and that there is a new competitor to Sky Italia in the satellite television market, TIVU Sat, set up by RAI, Mediaset’s RTI and Telecom Italia.

Illegal state aid

This is not the only case in which the Commission has battled with Mediaset’s grip on the television market. In 2007, the Commission ruled that the Italian government was providing illegal state aid to Mediaset by offering a €150 cash payment to buyers of digital terrestrial set-top boxes. The Commission said that the scheme discriminated against other pay-television service providers such as satellite television companies. Mediaset appealed against the Commission’s decision but the appeal was thrown out by the EU’s General Court in June this year.

The Commission’s dilemma is that, with the upcoming allocation of licences likely to be the last for several years, as a regulator it had to choose whether to back Newscorp’s Sky, which has a very strong position in the pay-television market because of the strength of its satellite operations, or the incumbents, including Berlusconi’s companies.

The Commission has had its own battles with Murdoch, notably over the sale of football broadcasting rights. In the end, the Commission appears to have decided that only Sky is in a position to compete with the incumbents and chip away at their dominant market position. The choice was an unenviable one.

Commission refuses to support Roma expulsions

France refuses to soften on its actions.

A high-level meeting between the European Commission and the French government to discuss the plight of Europe’s Roma people ended inconclusively this afternoon after the Commission refused to validate France’s drive to deport Roma, while France refused to countenance any criticism of its actions.

A spokesperson for Viviane Reding, the European commissioner for justice, said that Reding had told the French that they would have to provide extra information on the deportation programme before the Commission would be prepared to pronounce it legal.

“More detailed information will be shared with the Commission so it can complete its legal analysis,” the spokesperson said.

He said that Reding would give a “preliminary” analysis tomorrow to other members of the college of commissioners.

The Commission also refused to satisfy France’s wish that it publicly single out Romania, the country of origin for most Roma migrants, and pressure it to spend more of its EU funding allocation on measures to integrate the Roma.

Integrating Roma

Reding’s spokesperson said that the Commission was asking “all member states” to integrate their Roma populations. “This is not a specific request to Romania,” he said.

Whereas the meeting was billed by the Commission as an opportunity to find out more about the French programme, and also to discuss issues of Roma integration in Europe, France made clear that its ambitions focused largely on discussing what Romania, and also Bulgaria, should do to integrate their Roma minorities.

“We did not come here to answer to the reservations of the Commission [concerning the French programme],” Éric Besson, France’s immigration minister, said after the meeting.

He said, nevertheless, that he had brought with him “two complete dossiers of information” on the programme which the Commission would analyse.

Freedom of movement

Besson said that France’s deportation programme, launched earlier this month, was in line with European law “in all its respects”. He specifically cited the EU’s 2004 directive on freedom of movement, which many opponents of the programme claim France has breached.

Pierre Lellouche, France’s Europe minister, who also attended the meeting, gave an indication of the lack of harmony between France and the Commission when he said: “We [France and the Commission] agree at least on a number – that there are 11 million Roma in Europe.”

Besson described the meeting as “frank, deep and constructive”.

European Parliament concerns

Following the meeting with the Commission, which was also attended by Cecilia Malmström, the European commissioner for home affairs, Lellouche held a meeting with several of the European Parliament’s political groups, including the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) who have strongly criticised the deportation programme. Lellouche described as “scandalous” some comments made by parliamentarians about the programme.

France’s treatment of the Roma, and broader issues of Roma integration, are expected to be added to the agenda of next week’s European Parliament plenary session.

Reding this afternoon also held meetings with several junior ministers from Romania.

More than 900 Roma have been deported and many camps destroyed since the start of the French programme, which has been strongly criticised as discriminatory by, among others, the Council of Europe and Roma rights groups. Bernard Kouchner, France’s foreign minister, has said that he considered resigning over the initiative, which the French government claims is essential to maintain internal security.

The meeting between the Commission and the French ministers occurred on the same day that an administrative tribunal in the French city of Lille ruled against the deportation of seven Roma, on the grounds that the state had not proven that they were “a threat to public order”. The ruling confirms an earlier court decision on 27 August, which the French government had appealed. The government has decided not to appeal this new decision.

Besson yesterday (30 August) announced plans to amend France’s laws to facilitate expulsions of foreign nationals. He said today the amendments would be fully in line with EU law.

The striker has been out since mid-January and the coronavirus pandemic has not disrupted his rehab

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is in a “much better place” than a month ago as he nears a return to full fitness.

Rashford has been out since mid-January due to a back injury, with United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saying earlier this month the club would not rush his comeback.

The England international is making good progress, though, and suggests he will be ready to resume training once the squad are cleared to go back to work after the coronavirus pandemic.

“I feel much better,” Rashford told Sky Sports News. “I have a scan in another couple of days and that should solidify it, but I feel much better compared to two or three weeks ago.

“I feel 10 times better now. For me, now it’s just about getting ready to build back up to training and then playing games for the team.

“I’m in a much better place. I’m much happier than I was about a month ago, so things are looking positive.”

Rashford says his recent rehabilitation has been carried out at home due to the restrictions put in place to control the impact of COVID-19.

“Everyone is just dealing with the circumstances as well as they can,” he added.

“I’ve just been in my house doing my gym work and recovery, reading books, watching Netflix and just doing what I can do to make the time pass further.

“There’s not really anything you can do that comes close to being in the changing room and being in the team, so I’m not trying to chase that high.

“I had to have time off anyway because of my injury, but I’m fortunate enough to have a bike in the gym downstairs. Not much in that sense has actually changed for me because I can still do my daily routine that I was doing.”

Rashford is also heading up a campaign for the FareShare charity, which aims to raise £100,000 to help supply food to children who usually have free school meals but are currently unable to access them.

“I didn’t know how high the numbers were of kids not eating at home other than school meals. That number kind of shocked me,” Rashford said.

“And then I remember speaking to a friend who was saying there was an opportunity where we can help these people and FareShare allowed us to make it work.

“I don’t think I’ve actually ever done something at such short notice before. I thought let’s try and get to £100,000 and right now we’re on £97,000.”
