Greece - Down to wire on bond swap? those who do not sign up will get nothing.

Published on Mar 7, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ There was more anger in Athens on Wednesday as the deadline approached for Greece's bond swap with its investors, which is a vital step in the country getting its international bailout.

Union members, including police officers, protested that their pension funds are included in the debt swap deal. That means steep losses on the government bonds they hold, potentially reducing the value of their future pensions.

A leader of the civil servants union, Ilian Vrettakos, complained: "The coalition government and the troika are implementing the most barbaric plan against the social insurance funds and those insured. Instead of leaving out pension funds from the losses, they are making more cutbacks to the funds, which means a reduction in pensions and benefits."

Private investors hold 206 billion euros worth of government bonds. Athens has said at least three quarters of them have to agree to take part in the bond swap for it to go ahead.

After months of tortuous negotiations, over 30 major European banks and insurers, along with Greece's largest banks and most of its pension funds, confirmed on Wednesday that they will swap their bonds for others of lower value to be paid back over a longer term. That process will wipe out almost three quarters of the value of their investments.

The rest of the investors have until Thursday evening to say whether they will take part.

Bankers and politicians said the outcome still remains uncertain.

Middle East - Oil price rebounds on Chinese demand outlook

Published on Mar 7, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Oil prices rose on Wednesday from Chinese plans to increase its energy imports this year.

Beijing also said it will keep policies to ensure stable export growth, which it expects to improve in the second half of the year.

However Brent - and its equivalent US benchmark - remained well below last week's near four-year highs.

That is because Iran's offer of talks on its nuclear programme has eased concerns about supply disruption.

US President Barack Obama said an announcement of six-power talks with Iran offered a diplomatic chance to defuse a crisis over its nuclear program and quieted the "drums of war."

"It was getting quite worrying but tensions have eased and it's looking more like both sides could come out of this without losing face," said David Morrison, market analyst at GFT.

China's plans on energy imports reinforce a view that Asian demand will continue to support oil prices, even as demand from developed economies is seen as sluggish.

"China's comments are a timely reminder that the Chinese and Asian economies are still growing strongly," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets. "Even though China's target growth rates are down for this year, it's still growing and that means more energy needs overall

Norway - Anders Behring Breivik formally charged with acts of terror

Published on Mar 7, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ The man who killed 77 people during twin attacks in Norway was formally charged with committing acts of terror on Wednesday.

Anders Behring Breivik was read an 18-page indictment at the prison near Oslo where he has been held since last July.

The 33-year-old is due to go on trial next month.

Breivik set off a bomb near government offices in Oslo killing eight people, before driving to Utoya island, where a summer camp for the youth-wing of the Norway's governing party was being held.

Over the course of an hour, dressed as a police officer, he shot dead 69 people.

Breivik could face up to 21 years in prison or be sent to a psychiatric hospital if he is found to be criminally insane.

He has confessed to the attacks but denies criminal responsibility.

Ирина Билык и Ольга Горбачева тексты - Не ревную
.
Непрошеный гость ты в жизни моей,
Всего лишь два дня, и всего лишь две ночи.
Сегодня со мной, а завтра ты с ней,
И все это так для тебя - между прочим.
И все бы, поверь, было очень легко.
И все бы, наверное, просто забылось.
Но ты от меня совсем далеко,
А я, как на злом взяла и влюбилась!
Взяла и влюбилась
Взяла и влюбилась
Взяла и влюбилась
Непрошеный гость, в заброшенный сад
Ты ночью тайком незаметно пробрался.
И знай, что теперь дорога назад
Забыта, но ты в моем сердце остался.
Тебя не пущу, тебя не отдам,
Тебя обниму и до слез зацелую.
И ангел опустится с облака к нам,
И рядышком сядет, а я не ревную!
А я не ревную
А я не ревную
А я не ревную
Секунда, как вечность, обратный отсчет,
И каждый мой вздох - мне кажется мало.
Забытая нежность и наоборот,
Тебя я нашла, и тебя потеряла.
Скажи, ну зачем? Скажи, почему?
Скажи - за какие грехи мне расплата?
И слезы в подушку тебе одному,
Скажи, ну зачем?
Сама виновата, сама виновата, сама виновата, виновата.
Сама виновата, сама виновата, сама виновата, виновата.
Просто влюбилась, просто влюбилась, я не ревную
Сама виновата, сама виновата, сама виновата, а я не ревную, а я не ревную.
Взяла и влюбилась
.

Libya - Benghazi call for autonomy could split country

Published on Mar 6, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Civic leaders in the eastern city of Benghazi have announced plans for greater autonomy from Libya's Transitional Council based in Tripoli.

Three thousand delegates voted in a relative of Libya's former king to head a new council, set up to administer their own affairs. The declaration puts them on a confrontation course with the country's interim leadership.

Speaking in Tripoli NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel-Jalil warned of a foreign plot to break up the country. He said: "As the National Transitional Council we are surprised at these voices calling for division in Libya. We call on all Libyans to gather round the internationally legitimate Council."

The creation of the so-called Federal Union includes the province of Cyrenaica which is home to Libya's biggest oil fields. But not everyone approves of the unilateral move.

People in Benghazi itself are split as several hundred demonstrators held a rally in protest in the city centre. Their banners read, 'no to federalism; no to regionalism; yes to a unified Libya'.Find us on:

France - Sarkozy vows to cut the number of foreigners in France

Published on Mar 6, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ French President Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to cut the number of immigrants and impose a minimum tax on the profits of big listed companies if he's re-elected in April.

The remarks were made as he sought to bolster support for his presidential campaign during a TV grilling from the veteran Socialist Laurent Fabius.

He was also asked to defend his record:

"It's up to the French to judge," said Sarkozy.
"They will ask if during the crisis, did I protect them? With the events that have crashed down with an unheard of violence on the world, on Europe and on France.... have I done my job well, or have I done it badly? And would Mr Francois Hollande have done any better?"

But Laurent Fabius's retorted : "No! It's WILL he do better."

The debate which was testy and barbed at times, comes as Sarakozy is struggling in the polls against his socialist rival. Francois Hollande who launched his campaign months before Sarkozy and has promised a popular wealth tax, is tipped to beat him in a run-off in May.Find us on:

Most changes are just that, a new way of dealing with some element of your life. However, those you're facing now are far more challenging. In fact, you're having difficulty thinking of them without feeling angry. While this may involve others, it's more likely you're annoyed you've left them undone for so long.
