Syria: 4 of 4 - 99th Plenary Meeting - General Assembly - March 2, 2012 Prevention of armed conflict [34] The Secretary-General will report to the General Assembly as required under last month’s General Assembly resolution on Syria (97th Plenary Meeting). UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's oral report to the General Assembly on situation in Syria: Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am making this report as requested by the General Assembly resolution A/Res/66/263 of 16 February. Given the gravity of the situation, please be assured that we will keep you regularly informed. We have all watched the events in Syria this week with growing alarm. We have seen heavy artillery shelling and tank fire in densely populated neighborhoods across the country. A major assault on Homs took place yesterday. Civilian losses have clearly been heavy. We continue to receive grisly reports of summary executions, arbitrary detentions and torture. In Homs, Hama and elsewhere, the brutal fighting has trapped civilians in their homes, without food, heat or electricity or medical care; without any chance of evacuating the wounded or burying the dead. People have been reduced to melting snow for drinking water. This atrocious assault is all the more appalling for having been waged by the government itself, systematically attacking its own people. All agree we must act in the face of this escalating crisis. Yesterday, the Security Council deplored the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation and demanded access for relief workers. I welcome the Council’s clear and strong statement. The Human Rights Council, meeting in Geneva, condemned the “widespread and systematic” violations of human rights and demanded an immediate end to the violence. I am extremely disappointed that the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms. Valerie Amos, has not been able to travel to Syria despite repeated assurances. I once again urge the authorities to allow her to visit, as soon as possible, so that humanitarian relief workers can reach the many thousands of people who desperately need assistance. Today, teams from the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society have been permitted to enter Homs, but they are waiting to get access to Bab Amr. It is essential that aid workers be allowed to help civilians in the most devastated areas of the city; as of this moment, assistance can still not get through. As you know, the joint UN-Arab League Special Envoy, the Honorable Kofi Annan, will depart from New York this evening. During the past two days he has been consulting intensively with Member States, including members of the Security Council and the Arab Group as well as the Syrian mission and other concerned stakeholders. He plans to travel next week to Cairo for consultations with the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States and to a number of other regional capitals, including Damascus. My predecessor has taken on a difficult mission with immense challenges; he needs the full and undivided support of the international community, speaking in one voice. Excellencies, Let me turn now to the particulars of the situation: the deepening humanitarian crisis, the increasingly worrying human rights picture, and the political process that we hope will chart a way ahead. The Secretariat has sent a Note Verbale to the Permanent Mission of Syria requesting its response to the clear demands set forth in General Assembly resolution 66/253, dated 16 February. We received a reply yesterday. The Secretariat has also requested information from the League of Arab States on what Member States are doing to support the Arab League initiative. In the past two weeks, I have remained in close contact with the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States. I met him last week in London and spoke with him as recently as yesterday. Ladies and Gentlemen: The Syrian Government has failed to deliver on its responsibility to protect its people. Civilian populations are under military assault in several cities. The disproportionate use of force by Syrian authorities has driven, what had been largely peaceful opposition forces, to resort to take up arms in some cases. But let us be clear: the opposition’s firepower appears to be minimal, compared to the heavy weapons being used by the Syrian army. Armed extremist groups have also opportunistically used the situation to carry out terrorist acts, in particular in Damascus and Aleppo. While the continuing lack of access makes it impossible to verify specific casualty figures, credible reports suggest that the total number of people killed since March last year is well above 7,500, including many women and children. On several occasions, the daily death toll has exceeded one hundred. Approximately 25,000 refugees are now registered with UNHCR in neighbouring countries; between 100,000 and 200,000 people are internally displaced. The Syrian Government has also resisted the General Assembly’s demand for full and unhindered access for international media. Journalists, too, have been killed or injured alongside the people whose plight they were there to report. Let me turn now to the human rights situation. This Assembly called upon the Syrian Government to immediately put an end to all human rights violations and attacks against civilians, protect its population and fully comply with its obligations under applicable international law. The Syrian authorities clearly have not done so. The International Commission of Inquiry for Syria, in a report issued on 22nd February, concluded that the Syrian Government forces have committed widespread, systematic and gross human rights violations, amounting to crimes against humanity, with the apparent knowledge and consent of the highest levels of the State. The Commission’s report also concluded that anti-Government groups have committed abuses, although not comparable in scale and organization to those carried out by the State. The Commission also found that the security forces and Shabiha militias have continued to use live ammunition against peaceful protesters throughout the country, and that the Government has carried out reprisals in response to opposition calls for strikes. Freedom of expression continues to be severely restricted, and many human rights defenders, activists, protesters and journalists across the country are being arrested or detained. We are receiving widespread reports of torture under detention, even of children. In response to the worsening human rights situation, the Human Rights Council yesterday adopted a resolution that strongly condemns the use of force against civilians, summary executions, the killing and persecution of protesters, human rights defenders and journalists, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, interference with access to medical treatment, torture, sexual violence and ill-treatment, including against children. The resolution also calls on the Government to allow free and unimpeded access by the United Nations and humanitarian agencies to carry out a full assessment of needs in Homs and other areas, and to permit humanitarian agencies to deliver vital relief goods and services, especially in Homs, Dar’a, Zabadani and other areas under siege. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, We must do everything in our power to end the crisis. We must help move towards a Syrian-led political transition to a democratic, pluralistic political system, as supported by this Assembly. Yet to date, the international community has failed in its duty. In fact, the actions – indeed, the inaction — of the international community seems to have encouraged the Syrian authorities in their brutal suppression of its citizens. Further militarization of the Syrian opposition is not the answer. The international community must urgently find unity in pressing the Syrian authorities and all other parties to stop the violence. It must insist, with one voice, that the Syrian authorities give access to international humanitarian workers as an essential first step towards a peaceful solution to the crisis. It is with this aim that, together with Secretary-General Nabil El-Araby of the Arab League, we announced the appointment of Kofi Annan as our Joint Special Envoy for Syria. Mr. Annan will work to end the violence and human rights violations, and promote a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis. It is important to ensure that there is only one track in the mediation process being undertaken by the international community. Efforts to support the Arab League’s initiative to promote a peaceful solution also included last week’s meeting of the “Friends of the Syrian people” in Tunisia, which brought together representatives from more than 65 nations and organizations. The meeting demonstrated wide international support for the Syrian people and sent a strong message to the Syrian authorities: the time has come to stop the bloodshed. Excellencies, The way towards a peaceful solution of the Syrian crisis is difficult, but clear. First, there should be an immediate end to the killings and violence. International relief workers must be allowed in. Second, there is a clear need for an inclusive political dialogue among all Syrian actors. The international community must align itself with the process led by the Joint Special Envoy. To succeed, he will need our full and undivided support. It is time for the international community to speak with one voice, loud and clear. Continued division emboldens the Syrian authorities in their violent, dead-end path. Continued delay in the humanitarian effort causes more human suffering. Continued violence on the ground risks a descent into full civil war and sectarian strife that could haunt the country for generations to come. The stakes are high, above all for the people of Syria -- but also for the international community. We must act, urgently and in concert. I thank the Assembly for its support. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------- Source: Name: United Nations Webcast Website: www.unmultimedia.org Country: United States of America ----------------------------------------------------------

The stakes are high, above all for the people of Syria -- but also for the international community. We must act, urgently and in concert. I thank the Assembly for its support. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------- Source: Name: United Nations Webcast Website: www.unmultimedia.org Country: United States of America ----------------------------------------------------------
Capucine Ackermann Rôle d'Agnès dans l'Ecole des femmes de MOLIERE Extraits Acte III scène 2, Acte V Scène 4 & 5 Mise en scène Joseph Morana http://capucine.ackermann.actricesdefrance.org/ Malgré les confidences successives d'Horace, toutes les précautions d'Arnolphe pour l'écarter d'Agnès, qu'il veut épouser lui-même, ont échoué. Horace a même réussi à enlever la jeune fille. Mais, toujours confiant en l'amitié d'Arnolphe, il lui confie Agnès. Arnolphe, « le nez dans son manteau » pour qu'Agnès ne le reconnaisse pas, l'entraîne.Le conflit éclate dès qu'Agnès reconnaît Arnolphe, et il va croissant jusqu' à la menace physique. C'est la réaction soumise d'Agnès, qui inverse la situation, en contraignant Arnolphe à changer de ton. Le ton d'Arnolphe révèle une véritable indignation face à la fuite d'Agnès avec Horace.
L'évacuation de Syrie de la journaliste française a commencé jeudi, après une semaine de tentatives infructueuses menées notamment par la Croix-Rouge internationale et le Croissant-Rouge arabe syrien.
En Syrie, les négociations se poursuivent à Homs pour faire sortir les journalistes occidentaux blessés. Selon le porte-parole du Quai d'Orsay, la France fait tout pour obtenir cette évacuation dans le plus brefs délais. Le Croissant rouge et le CICR sont sur pace, dans une ville toujours soumise à d'intenses bombardements.
Les vacances ont démarré pour la dernière zone, la zone B. La zone C est également en congés, et la A les termine. Il y a donc du monde sur les routes aujourd'hui, surtout sur celles menant aux stations de sports d'hiver.
Le goût du frisson pousse un nombre croissant de skieurs à se faire déposer au sommet des montagnes : cela s'appelle l'héliski. En théorie, la pratique est interdite en France mais certaines stations font traverser la frontière à leurs clients.
Cervo avanza no seu proxecto de recuperación do bosque autóctono nas propiedades municipais de Sargadelos -As brigadas municipais encargáronse de cortar eucaliptos de pequeno e mediano porte que crecían na área repoboada situada no Conxunto Histórico e Artístico de Sargadelos. -O obxectivo do Concello é manter a plantación libre de especies foráneas e favorecer o crecemento do bosque autóctono de carácter atlántico. -O alcalde e a edil de Medio Ambiente comprobaron que a práctica totalidade das árbores plantadas hai uns meses creceron con éxito. Cervo, 17 de febreiro de 2012-O Concello de Cervo leva varias semanas realizando traballos de mantemento na finca de propiedade municipal situada no Monte Escarabelada, no Conxunto Histórico Artístico de Sargadelos. Unhas tarefas que incluíron a corta de eucaliptos de pequeno e mediano porte que comezaban a crecer entre as árbores autóctonas que se plantaron hai uns meses nesta zona. Foi no mes de maio do ano pasado cando o Concello comezou a poñer en práctica un ambicioso proxecto de recuperación da contorna natural do Conxunto Histórico Artístico de Sargadelos. O primeiro paso consistiu na repoboación dos terreos de propiedade municipal situados nesa área, para o que o administración local contou coa axuda da Consellería de Medio Ambiente, varias asociacións así como escolares cervenses. A finca, de 6 hectáreas de superficie, acolleu a plantación de máis de 3.500 árbores de especies propias da zona da Mariña, como carballo, abeleira, freixo ou pradairo, entre outras moitas, co obxectivo de recuperar o antigo bosque de natureza atlántica da Mariña. Os traballos de mantemento son “un pequeno paso máis neste amplo proxecto” que segundo o alcalde, Alfonso Villares, “seguirá dando os seus froitos”. Estas tarefas, levadas a cabo polas brigadas municipais, remataron nestes días e o rexedor e a edil de Medio Ambiente, Begoña Alonso, achegáronse ata o lugar para comprobar o resultado. “Con estos trabajos pretendíamos favorecer el ciclo normal de la plantación, contribuyendo a que los árboles autóctonos proliferen sin que otras especies invasoras lleguen a interrumpir su crecimiento y al mismo tiempo conseguir una repoblación libre de plantas foráneas”, explica a concelleira. Nesa mesma visita, Villares e Alonso puideron ver o bo estado da plantación. Segundo a edil, “prácticamente el 100% de los árboles han salido adelante y están creciendo a buen ritmo”. O rexedor cervense destacou a importancia de manter coidado o Complexo Histórico Artístico de Sargadelos abarcando todos os ámbitos, “e por suposto o medioambiental, xa que se conseguimos consolidar este bosque de árbores autóctonas estaremos ampliando o atractivo desta área privilexiada coa que contamos no concello e ao mesmo tempo recuperar e preservar a riqueza natural propia da nosa zona”. Pero ademais este proxecto terá unha vertente educativa xa que “pretendemos converter toda esta extensión nunha gran aula verde coas súas respectivas sendas botánicas” engade o rexedor cervense. Ademais, o goberno local quere aclarar que nas últimas semanas se produciron nunha zona próxima, preto do leito do río, talas de eucaliptos de grande porte das que o Concello non é responsable. Estas cortas realizáronse en fincas privadas e polo tanto, encargadas polos seus propietarios. As cortas efectuadas polo Concello só afectan aos talos de pequeno e mediano tamaño que crecían na reforestación do Conxunto Histórico e Artístico de Sargadelos, e en ningún momento a grandes eucaliptos xa consolidados.

Texte original © By Angi 2012 An emotion A page was gone The inventory of my best days For a heart without hypocrisy Deceptions Those killing you deep inside For my too great sincerity Because when I trust I really trust Emotion As the moment when You look at me for the first time Telling me how sweet I was And all these moments I was yours Emotion Your songs challenging time In dark days blown by the wind Since your hearts' major euphony Is gone for another shore I count all spent years and hours When this love has been erased In absence of harmony and arpeggio's notes Emotion Of a melody leading me On Malamoco rocks To throw out my melancholy The emotion Of your songs, this romance coming back to me Crescendo, swiped by the wind Erased from my heart's sheet notes Emotion Over there, we rode on Laguna And your 'O sole mio' resounded beyond bridges And these gondolas following the echo of your voice Where was growing this immense love we know , you and me Remember these wonderful times

+ de vidéos sur www.off.tv « My woman is gone » (ou plus sobrement « She’s gone ») est un titre de Bob Marley, issu de son album Kaya (1978). Repris sobrement par Marlon Roudette, dans une série de mini-covers dont voici le premier extrait, il nous permet de replonger dans les racines musicales de Marlon, un garçon qui nous étonne à chaque rencontre (ne ratez pas sa reprise de Jacques Brel, « Ne me quitte pas »). Si son nom ne vous est pas encore familier, vous avez certainement fredonné “Big City Life”, tube réalisé par son groupe Mattafix en 2005. Véritable succès, le titre se classe Top 5 en Angleterre, #1 en Allemagne, Autriche, Italie, Suisse, Nouvelle-Zélande, Top 20 de l’airplay en France. La voix du leader, Marlon Roudette, ne laisse personne indifférent et celui-ci revient en 2011 avec Matter Fixed, un premier album solo, réalisé, ici et là bas, en fonction de ses lieux de résidence : New York, St. Vincent, Los Angeles. Du beau monde pour un bel album : Marlon s’est entouré de producteurs de renom pour réaliser Matter Fixed. On retrouve Brian West (Nelly Furtado), Vada Nobles (Rihanna, Lauryn Hill), Paul O'Duffy (Amy Winehouse), Kwamé Holland (Mary J. Blige), Craigie Dodds (Sugababes, Gorillaz) ou encore l’incontournable Guy Chambers (Kylie Minogue, Example, Robbie Williams). Le premier extrait s’intitule “New Age” et cartonne déjà en Allemagne, Suisse, Autriche et Luxembourg. L’album, quant à lui, se love dans le Top 5 des meilleures ventes. En Europe le titre est 10e de l’airplay et s'est déjà vendu à 450 000 exemplaires. En France, à peine envoyé en radio, le titre se classe déjà dans le Top 40 iTunes. La voix androgyne de Marlon se place quelque part entre une Roberta Flack et un Jeff Buckley dans le lyrisme. Avec sa mélodie caressante et ses arrangements discrets, “New Age” touche et agit comme un filtre d’amour. Marlon Roudette, album Matter Fixed à paraître en digital et en physique le 23 janvier 2012.
