WASHINGTON – Giant manhunt in Los Angeles to catch an ex-cop went to war against his colleagues. A dangerous man. Christopher Dorner, 33, is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and – unfortunately – a great shooter. From Sunday to date has killed three people, including an agent. It now runs armed, ready for anything. Dorner, cast in 2009 by Los Angeles police after throwing false accusations against a superior, came into depression and nurtured a deep hatred of the Department.

TARGETS – Sunday Dorner has cooled Monica Quan and her boyfriend, Keith Lawrence. The girl was the daughter of Randy Quan, an officer who had managed the expulsion of man from the police, and this has become a target. In the night between Wednesday and Thursday, the killer would return to strike. First shot, in Corona, on a patrol agents who have been injured in a serious way. There is no certainty of his involvement, but investigators do not rule it out. The victims were protecting one of the persons named in the manifest. A little later new ambush, this time in Riverside: a policeman killed, another wounded. The authorities have set up checkpoints and increased controls on the roads leading to the south Dorner could escape in Mexico. Indeed, it seems that on Tuesday he tried to steal a motor boat but did not succeed and then returned to his "war against the Department."

Specializing in the design and manufacture of envelopes and plastic sleeves, HarryPlast tackles a new promising market: the shipment by post heat-sensitive health products (PST), such as vaccines, anti-allergens, insulin or hormones. In collaboration with Lisotherme, a young company Yvelines which granted the license to operate a cooling gel to the invention, the SMEs Saint Amand Les Eaux (CA: 4.75 million) has designed an envelope isotherm within which the temperatures remain between + 2 and + 5 ° for at least 48 hours, the time it reaches its destination. What keeps cold chain necessary to guarantee the health of patients. According to Guillaume Petit, sales manager HarryPlast, there is no comparable offering on the market. "While conventional cooling solutions generate degradation products by exposing them to freezing temperatures, creating a phenomenon and freezing, our cooling gel eliminates this risk by restoring a temperature of zero degrees on the surface," says François Ducrocq President of Lisotherme. Unlike commonly used insulated boxes, envelope HarryPlast does not require the intervention of carriers. A simple sufficient postage.

Consists of several layers of polyethylene film coated with two layers of insulation 40 mm thick, themselves embedded in a metallized plastic film, this new package is tear proof, waterproof, opaque and secured with a tamper-evident closure. Large internal welds to avoid product transported to approach the edges of the envelope where the presence of thermal bridges could reduce the performance of the gel. The two companies have worked for a year and a half to the new packaging. National Laboratory of Metrology and Testing (LNME) has validated the performance on the basis of the standard shipping temperature sensitive NF S99-700 ST48. Each bringing its expertise, and Lisotherme HarryPlast could optimize the technical performance of this isothermal plastic packaging and reduces design costs. Marketing has just started. SMEs already envisaged internationally.

Ds the next day blow of theater: says Mortazavi is stopped as he left his office, to be finally relch two days later. The man who held the position long annes Thran of attorney is not a stranger to the Iranians. Thran nicknamed the butcher for his involvement in the arrest of many journalists – and MONTR finger in the assassination of Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi in 2003 – he also SUPERVIS the center of Kahrizak, where several protesters died under torture during the wave of protests that followed the controversial rlection Ahmadinejad in 2009. The dark irony is that his dtention two days is bound to DMLS between conservative politicians, not its involvement in perscution rformistes opponents.

The case of bribes, kickbacks, which chronicles dfraye Thran, today revives clan tensions between Ahmadinejad and that of his former patron, the guide of the revolution, the Ayatollah Khamenei (including Ali Larijani rput is close). within six months of the next prsidentielle, it seems that n'tre prlude future twists more explosive.

UDINE – He picked up his elderly mother is not able to walk but had a heart attack from the exertion, then collapsed to the ground, above the woman, choking with its own weight. the incredible tragedy that occurred this afternoon in a house Pertegada, fraction of Latisana (Udine). The police were alerted by a relative who, now in the house, rang but nobody opened n he heard noises coming from inside. The military has been spilled in the home and noticed the two dead bodies and no signs of violence. The first reconstruction of the story, then, was thinking about carbon monoxide poisoning. Only after more thorough investigation, it was possible to reconstruct the singular incident. Valentino Buffon, 58 years old, he picked up his elderly mother, Fanni Taglialegne of 91, who used a wheelchair to get around. The effort, for, caused him a heart attack, he dropped the mother's body, and lost knowledge, fallen on him, suffocating her. The family doctor, arrived and waiting for the forensic, ruled that a man died of cardiac arrest, and the elderly died of suffocation.

Earlier, the former presidential candidate LO had issued a statement accusing the government of being "the man's hand patronnat" following statements Manuel Valls. Face hardening of social movements, the interior minister was indeed worried Tuesday risks "social explosions or implosions of" ensuring that its services were mobilized to avoid overflow because "we can not break work tool. " "I heard the government is concerned about the radicalization of social movements that threaten the production tool, said Ms. Arthaud amidst flags CGT., But this is the direction which wants to close the factory. Government takes the cause of big business and the bourgeoisie. "

Olivier Besancenot has not been more tender. "It may be under a leftist government that the worst social attacks are made," he complained. Martine Billard, Co-Chair of the Left Party, was not very comfortable. "I've never been a socialist but I do not think that a government that claims to PS would go so far in supporting employers" she judged. And particularly Mr. Montebourg aim: "When he says that this sacrifice is not that important, it is clear that it is not he who is in the factory."

The words of the Minister of productive recovery and his colleague from the inside also remained in the craw of the Communists, particularly well represented in the event. Alongside local councilors, Marie-George Buffet and François Asensi, both members of Seine-Saint-Denis, Pierre Laurent has also led the charge against the government. The national secretary of the Communist Party said he was "absolutely shocked" after the words of MM. Montebourg and Valls. "Is what it is that is expected of a leftist government? Launched micro Mr. Lawrence. Surely not! Expected this is to take advantage of the workers. which must grow now is the convergence of struggles! "

Announced, Daniel Goldberg, PS deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis, and Gerard Segura, Socialist mayor of Aulnay-sous-Bois, had not finally made the trip. Contacted by Le Monde, Mr. Goldberg invoked the union split to justify their absence, the majority union in the factory, SIA, organizing another demonstration outside the headquarters in Paris where PSA negotiations socially continued Tuesday. "We did not want to choose one or the other," said Goldberg, adding: "We spent hours and nights to take care of the site and employees it for months, even years. We did not want to participate in an operation with national political figures who come in Aulnay and leave so quickly. "

His words are particularly listened. François Hollande must speak Tuesday at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, while an important summit meeting at the next EU budget will open Thursday. This is the first time since he came to power that the French president will address MEPs. His speech, scheduled for mid-morning after a speech by the President of Parliament Martin Schulz will be followed by a discussion with parliamentarians. The two leaders then held a joint press conference at noon, before the meeting François Hollande not elected Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. Holland and his vision of Europe The intervention of the Head of State is expected as meetings and negotiations between European leaders multiply in an attempt to find a compromise on the 2014-2020 budget of the EU. The last weekend, François Hollande has himself admitted that the conditions were "not yet ripe" to reach an agreement. He stressed the difficulty of reconciling the conflicting interests between states favorable as France, Spain and Italy, a policy favoring growth and solidarity and those in favor of cuts in spending, like Germany, Great Britain, the Nordic countries and the Netherlands. In addition, François Hollande recall its vision of Europe. With priority given to growth, employment, solidarity, the deepening of economic and monetary union, even though the integrity of the EU is threatened by the desire of Britain to organize before the end of 2017 a referendum on whether to maintain the EU. Ten >> key phrases Cameron's speech on Europe According to diplomatic sources cited by AFP Elysee, "the vocation of his speech is not responding" British Prime Minister David Cameron . However, the French president "will make its own analysis, its own proposals" and after "we can see the differences," says one. On January 23, the announcement of the referendum, François Hollande had felt it was "not possible to negotiate Europe" and to use such consultation "to belittle".

In contrast, it is known, we can not quite say the same thing. Must avoid, purify, simplify to be heard. In economic terms, there are the UMP splint. The angles are not so easy to find against Holland, moving target, self-proclaimed "left" and pursuing a policy of supply warlord when we think without relief, making employment a priority while playing social issues.

So when there is a fault, it rushes into. Nine months after his arrival at the Elysee François Hollande, the right is convinced that corporate taxation and tax 75% have created a gap between the left and sustainable patterns. Gestures made from the competitiveness and the labor market were not enough to heal the wound. "The growth may be paralyzed because of the stigma contractors, craftsmen, traders and those who want to create," was outraged Jean-Francois Cope last week in meeting.

Anything like that, suddenly, a discourse on reform. In recent times, the UMP has refined its arrows against the executive. They take in a few words: François Hollande does not undertake reforms at the level of difficulty French. The competitiveness pact and the labor market could come counteract this demonstration several UMP parliamentarians join the socialist vote for vote at the Meeting. Political trap? Not at all, ensures the UMP, it is rather a sign that there is consensus in France on the need to put the country back on the rails healthier budget. "The other policy" is returned to extremes. The trapped, so this is the PS, which validates the finding means without putting across. "I vote for the reform of the labor market, summed Jean-Francois Cope yesterday on RTL, but we must go much further structural reforms. '

Because, not mine, this discourse of reform "uninhibited" is an evolution, or rather a return to basics for the UMP. Over the past decade, Nicolas Sarkozy has refused to be locked into a liberal discourse – "it is 4% in the elections," he defended. Reform, yes, but associated with a strong political will, and thus the state, its armed wing. From the 2007 presidential campaign, he mixed the two objectives, decreased number of officials, for example, and offensive speech against "rogue bosses". Power, the former president reformed the universities and pensions, but he also sought to regulate finance and executive compensation. During the months that followed Lehman Brothers, the balance between the two "legs" of the policy itself clearly tilted in favor of state intervention.

The second campaign brought another change. To prevent bleeding voters to the National Front, Nicolas Sarkozy, advised by Patrick Buisson, chose to cast a veil over economic issues to focus on the concerns of the French identity. His speech gradually slipped increasingly protectionist and reassuring. And surprisingly, he then continued. The result of Nicolas Sarkozy on May 6 was considered good enough for not opening a trial positioning right. And, especially, Jean-Francois Cope, in the race for the internal election to the presidency of the party, made the calculation that the UMP activists expected him the same speech. End of August, Châteaurenard, he still speaks little economy and many European protectionism.

Six months later, much water has flowed under the bridge of the UMP. He needs to rebuild after the November crisis. Security and immigration keep a major role, but Churchill was called to the rescue. Especially the studies as a barometer of confidence Cevipof report of persistent identity tensions in French, but also a more lenient towards business and market forces.

Rarely, an expert consultation was in a parliamentary committee such a great response: The family committee had to change the meeting room of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in order to create space for the more than 240 people with thalidomide damage as active listeners in their own right for the two-hour hearing come were. Even if the federal government probably feared a catastrophe, she had yet seen fit to place 35 members of the Technical Relief in adjoining rooms. Helpful but were probably still the also dedicated sign language and written interpreter who translated and talking simultaneously on two large screens projected, so that the deaf and hard of hearing thalidomide victims were able to follow the views of the experts – a service for overcoming communication barriers, affected the wish on other issues.

Two hundred and forty people with thalidomide damage, that was almost a tenth of all the surviving victims in Germany, which were perceived by the public until recently still as "thalidomide children". The person responsible for discipline but it is no longer the paediatrics, but the Gerontology – a fast-paced, on the grounds Direction actually accelerated aging in perspective. Perhaps it is no coincidence that in the public perception with regard to this highly regarded group phase of adult life was skipped – leaving aside the public's admiration for individual celebrities like Thomas Quasthoff. Children and old people are objects of care, they are regarded as people, to which you have to provide more than that they would have expected, to make their lives even responsible. That the parties themselves accept this role and not intervene, one of the outstanding messages of the hearing was on Friday.

That legislators in the seventies taken to compensate the victims of thalidomide by the law itself, and hence the actual tortfeasor, the company Grünenthal, relieved from further claims has – an unprecedented nature in the face of but also unprecedented action – should the supply ensure the right of victims and serve peace. The Federal Constitutional Court has in several decisions, which were caused by victims, who were cheated of their compensation claims, stood on the side of the legislature. It has the basic judgment of 1976, however, also requires that the legislature has removed this incident from the autonomous private sector regulation and made it a state matter, even in the future should be taken over the responsibility.

That victims are forced with their care and assistance needs in the social assistance will not have been meant. If you look in the databases of case law, one finds a variety of choices of social and civil courts, which reject the attempt by people with thalidomide damage, to be involved in other compensation schemes as the Thalidomide Foundation. The high number of cases and in the circle of victims unanimous outrage over what will deal with them and their needs, show that the state has with its goal of producing by the occurrence of the Community legal peace so far failed.

One reason is that it is not the state managed the Thalidomide Foundation itself, which is also responsible for the distribution of funds, which also plays to the outside play an important role, by law in such a way that the persons concerned in it a leading role play. The Thalidomide Foundation Act, which the ministerial secures a majority in the Foundation Committees precludes even that an interested party could be trustees chairman, and prevent a full confidentiality for all committee members, that the few representatives of the beneficiaries in the bodies can inform their base comprehensively. This could allow to create more transparency and influence to the victim that the Foundation is also the central office for communication between stakeholders and policy. Such an instance is urgently required if the history of the thalidomide victims compensation not to end as a story of failure demanding scale government intervention.
