Pope Francis wants "to ensure the legal protection of the embryo"

 

Francis asked Pope solemnly Sunday "a legal guarantee of the embryo", "to protect every human being from the first moment of his existence."

At the prayer of the Regina Coeli, the Pope, who had never spoken explicitly of these sensitive subjects, defined as "the defense of the sanctity of human life" as a central theme of "Year of Faith", which will be the center of a ceremony at the Vatican on 15 and 16 June

The Pope greeted the participants in Rome a great popular works from different parishes and "pro-life" members of organizations from several places in Europe.  

Francis, whose conservative positions on these issues we knew when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, was prompted to keep "living everyone's attention on the very important topic of respect life from conception. "

Some 30,000 people (according to the organizers) marched in the morning, starting from the Colosseum to Castel Sant'Angelo, a few meters from the Vatican.

The Pope referred to a collection of signatures currently underway in the Italian parishes to support the initiative "Uno di noi" proposed to the European Union through the motions for life.

The pope said the Vatican will take place on 15 and 16 June Day "Evangelium Vitae" ("Gospel of Life"), a "special moment for all those who to defending the sacredness of life. " On this occasion, he will celebrate a Mass in St. Peter's Square.

The subject of the defense of life – abortion, euthanasia, bioethics – is highly confrontational between the Catholic Church and the societies of the West.

John Paul II and Benedict XVI had adopted intransigent positions on these "non-negotiable values" that takes positions unambiguously Argentine Pope, who had never expressed directly on these themes since he was elected to the throne of Peter.

For the Church, life is a gift from God, abortion and euthanasia can not be accepted in any way. Differences between theologians then express the position to adopt towards people who use it, many theologians today insisting on an attitude of "mercy."

INTERNET: Refusal redemption of Dailymotion: "France does not need predator capital"

 

The Minister of Productive Recovery Arnaud Montebourg, announced Wednesday that it had thwarted the takeover of 75% of the video site Dailymotion, a subsidiary of France Telecom-Orange, the compa American ty Yahoo!. This interference by the minister raises many critics. Asked by the newspaper Les Echos, CEO of Orange, Stéphane Richard, regretted this decision because, according to him, Dailymotion needs a U.S. partner to continue to die develop and compete with its main rival YouTube. He also argues that the failure of the sale could damage the image of France to foreign investors.

Sterdyniak Henry, director of the Department of Economics at Sciences Po Paris globalization, believes instead that the intervention of Arnaud Montebourg is sound. In international economics specialist, France, in fact, all the capabilities to maintain its ground for innovative companies.

FRANCE 24: The Minister of Productive Recovery Arnaud Montebourg, opposed the redemption Dailymotion, a subsidiary of France Telecom-Orange, the U.S. giant Yahoo!. Is that such blocking is new government?

Henri Sterdyniak: It actually is exceptional. The logic usually prevails, the government does not interfere in the conduct of business, except in very special cases. So far, the government felt that these obstacles were not of a strategic nature, but now we are seeing a change in doctrine. We do not want to let a company go under foreign control. When this happened, France lost all means of action.

These companies have lost their substance and disappeared completely. We think of course Arcelor-Mittal and steel Florange in recent news. The minister and wanted to put a stop to these practices and make clear with Dailymotion, France has a well located in an area of ​​future business. It would be stupid to sell abroad. There is no reason to lose its future development for short-term profits. Especially Orange has money and that also has public Investment Bank.

According to you, Arnaud Montebourg was therefore right to oppose the takeover?

H. S. : It is a gesture that will, in fact, in the right direction, because France has the financial capacity to develop independent businesses on the Internet. This is a trend that seeks to promote the Minister Arnaud Montebourg. He wants to keep France in innovative companies. You can not call this protectionism, but it is necessary that the French companies keep on making up their centers and production, otherwise we will be completely disarmed.

The American media yet very critical with regard to the French government. Does this decision may degrade the image of France to foreign investors?

H. S. : It must be remembered that the United States often take protectionist measures, especially against China. This is not a purely French practice. Americans have a strategy that is not hard-liberalism. The fact that France clearly say it has the concern to maintain the productive sectors on its soil should not surprise them. It is legitimate that encourages foreign investment the type of Toyota, which has installed a plant and create jobs in France, but when an investment is to take control of & rsquo , a company that works and has a potential for the future is more problematic. France does not have a Yahoo! guarantee for the future development of Dailymotion. She did not know either if the hidden objective was to kill the business because it is ultimately a competitor.

This blockage can get chilly foreign investors, but France has an important savings rate and capital available. We have the means to choose foreign investment and support companies that want to grow. France did not need the contribution of capital predators, but rather companies that bring something. In this case, the government found that the acquisition would provide no guarantee.

According to his spokesman Martin Nesirky, M. Ban asked his interlocutors to "take concrete steps to address the concerns of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy) and prove that its nuclear program is peaceful purposes. "

The Secretary-General, however, that this issue could be settled that "a diplomatic and peaceful solution", then qu'Israëla threatened to conduct strikes against Iran.

According to his spokesperson, Mr. Ban "believes that Iran, given its regional influence and its influence on Syria, may play an important role in regulation" of the Syrian crisis.

The U.S. State Department, which had expressed strong reservations about the trip Mr. Ban in Iran, once joked about this statement by claiming to be "agreement (…) to say that Iran has a role to play" if "it ro , is the break with the Assad regime to stop and to provide material aid, weapons and advisors.

UNITED STATES: Paul Ryan of Wisconsin elected, touted as running mate Mitt Romney

 

AFP – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the White House Saturday morning would reveal the name of his running mate, according to which the media should be elected from Wisconsin (North) Paul Ryan , ending speculation about the identity of his potential vice president if he wins in November.

Mr. Romney must make the announcement to 9:00 (1300 GMT) in Norfolk, Virginia (east), aboard the USS Wisconsin, a ship disused World War II, said Friday evening his campaign in a statement.

Citing sources close to his entourage, television channels CNN and NBC, and the Huffington Post online media, ensure that Mr. Romney chose the representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, 42, who chaired the powerful Budget Committee in the House of Representatives.

Among the names most frequently mentioned in recent days were also the governor of Minnesota (North) Tim Pawlenty, 51, and Senator from Ohio (north) Rob Portman, 56.

One who hopes to unseat Barack Obama on Nov. 6 began Saturday in Virginia in a campaign tour bus in four key states, which led him to North Carolina (east), Florida (southeast) and Ohio (center).

This decision, most important he had to take since launching his presidential campaign, comes two weeks before the national convention of the Republican Party in Tampa, Florida.

This is where Mr. Romney and his running mate will be formally invested to tackle the outgoing Democratic president Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in November.

If the selection of Mr. Ryan was confirmed, it would be bold. Paul Ryan has been a champion of fiscal conservatism to the risk of displeasing the voters undecided.

At 42, he became one of the most influential Republicans in the House of Representatives, by addressing the staggering debt of the State.

The serious face and emaciated, Paul Ryan is far from being a newcomer to politics: it was seven times elected to the House and worked on Capitol Hill, cen ge of the Congress of the United States for nearly half of his life.

It argues for a new branch of the economy, and proposed earlier this year a draft budget supposed to "offer the nation a better way for the future "and" show how we plan to save this country from future debts, doubts and decline ". 

The Conservatives had called Romney to make this bet.

"Choose Paul Ryan, the intellectual leader of the Republican Party, the man who laid the foundations of the political program of the post-Obama," the analyst wrote such neoconservative William Kristol in the Weekly Standard magazine.

The Wall Street Journal had also supported the selection of Mr. Ryan.

Experts stressed, however, that his tax plan and budget is the "political dynamite" that Romney would assume.

The announcement of the choice of running mate comes at a delicate time for Mitt Romney while polls give President Obama a clear lead over his Republican rival who finds himself under pressure at three months of pre Presidential November.

Mr. Obama distance his opponent both in national opinion surveys in most of the dozen states "undecided" that will determine the outcome of the election of November 6.

A national poll released Thursday put Fox News Obama leads with 49% of the vote against 40% for Mr. Romney. Another survey by CNN on the same day gave the outgoing Democratic president to 52% against 45% for M. Romney.

According to experts, Mitt Romney is adversely affected by the attack ads of muscular Democrats, who ridiculed for example her recent trip abroad, or against his tax plan deemed worthy of a "Robin Hood in reverse", taking the middle class to give to millionaires.

Conversely, the continuing economic difficulties the country represent a liability for Obama. And Mr. Romney has a formidable war chest, which could give a decisive advantage in the fall when the presidential campaign in full swing.

SPACE: Curiosity on approach of Mars

 

After eight months of travel in space and 570 million kilometers – or 1,500 times the distance from Earth to the Moon – The robot Curiosity should land on Mars on Monday at 7:31 (5:31 GMT) in the Gale Crater, near Mount Sharp (5000 m). Launched November 26, 2011, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the spacecraft exploration of NASA is the largest (900 kg) and the most advanced ever sent into space. Powered by a nuclear generator, it is supposed to work for two years (one Martian year) during which he will attempt to discover whether the Martian environment could be conducive to de ; development of life, even in microbial form that.

The mission of the robot is perilous. Between its entry into the Martian atmosphere and landing on the surface of the planet, seven minutes will pass. "Seven minutes of terror", according to NASA, because "if something does not work, it's game over!" Says one engineer in a video released by the agency U.S. space. Main challenge: slow the craft, very heavy, while the atmosphere of Mars opposes hundred times less resistance than that of Earth. After dropping the heat shield, supersonic parachute diameter of 21 meters will be deployed on time and to increase the speed of the module from 21 243 to 2.74 km / h.

Mild weather

Scientists will have to wait 14 minutes – the time that the signal travels the distance between Mars and Earth – to see if everything went well. But it could also take several days for bad positioning of the robot or three sensors (two American, one European) in orbit around the Red Planet.

"Every day that passes is more scary," admits Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA, noting that 40% of past attempts to send robots to Mars have been crowned are successful. The United States is the only country that has explored the Red Planet, and five of their probes have already reached the Martian soil.

For now, the weather looks pretty good near the crater Gale. "Mars is friendly to us, we will have good conditions for Sunday," said Saturday, one of the scientists in charge of the project, Ashwin Vasavada. A dust storm spotted a few days ago has dissipated, giving way to a "cloud […] Benin enough," he said.
