Celle-ci a attiré l'attention et leurs débuts se sont faits très attendus. Ainsi, le 3 Juin 2010, Woolim Entertainment révèle au public le Teaser de leur premier MV : Come back again. Ce Teaser reçoit beaucoup de commentaires positifs et un 2e Teaser est alors mis en ligne trois jours plus tard, soit le 6 Juin. Enfin, après avoir fait patienter les 'fans', le MV est révélé le 8 Juin. Leur titre est un succès et Infinite se fait une place dans le monde de la K-Pop en un rien de temps. L'album sort le 9 Juin, les garçons se produisent pour la première fois le 10 Juin au M ! Countdown et leur côte de popularité ne cesse d'augmenter. Le 1er Août, un Teaser pour le MV de She's back (chanson issue de leur mini album) est révélé et le 3, le MV intégral est mis en ligne. C'est officiel, Infinite a su se démarquer des autres et est une vraie révélation. 2011 : Evolution Il a été annoncé que le nouvel album des Infinite, Evolution sortira le 6 Janvier. Le 27 Décembre 2010, la tracklist du nouvel album fut révélée suivie de la chanson Voice of my Heart mise en ligne sur Youtube le 28 Décembre. Puis, le 29 Décembre, Woollim Entertainment révèle le Teaser MV de B. T. D (Before The Dawn) , la chanson titre de l'album Evolution. Ce Teaser fut le sujet d'un débat, en effet celui-ci a été jugé trop violent par les internautes, on peut y voir les membres L et Woo Hyun se battre. On peut penser que les Infinite arborent un concept plus sombre qu'à leurs débuts. Le MV est révélé le 5 Janvier 2011 et le groupe fait son comeback le 7 Janvier sur la scène du Music Bank. B. T. D est tout aussi un succès et le public est satisfait. Inspirit La sortie du mini album Inspirit a surpris bon nombre de fans puisque la promotion de B. T. D tout juste finie, les membres du groupe annoncent sa sortie. Le Teaser MV de Nothing's over est mis en ligne le 9 Mars et le 2e Teaser, sort le 14 avec l'apparition des membres des groupes BEAST et MBLAQ qui manifestent leur soutien aux membres de Infinite. Cette fois-ci, les garçons adoptent un concept plutôt coloré et mignon contrairement à B. T. D. Le mini album ainsi que le MV sont révélés le 17 Mars. Ce même jour, Infinite revient sur le devant de la scène au M ! Countdown. Le CD comporte deux nouveaux titres ainsi qu'une nouvelle version de Can U smile, issu du précédent album. Over The Top Courant Juillet - Août 2011, Infinite participe à la saison 2 de l'émission Sesame Player dans laquelle des caméras suivent les membres du groupe durant leur quotidien. On les voit préparer leur nouvel album, c'est donc un mois et demi après leur 1er anniversaire que sort enfin leur premier full album contenant 10 chansons toutes inédites. La sortie a été prévue pour le 21 Juillet 2011 et a été respectée comme il se doit. Le Teaser, révélé le 16 a subi une fuite de quelques petites heures mais rien de bien grave et le groupe fait son comeback le 23 Juillet avec Be mine au Music Core. Cepedant, s'apercevant d'une faute d'impression sur leur CD, Woolim Entertainment a pris la décision de jeter près de 30. 000 CDs en déclarant qu'ils voulaient que tout soit parfait car c'était leur premier album et que le groupe avait travaillé dur pour satisfaire et remercier leurs fans. Spoil: Le 25 Août 2011, les deux danseurs principaux du groupe, Hoya et DongWoo, ont participé au Dance Battle du M ! Countdown en compagnie de groupes tels que Teen Top ou Dal★shabet et remportent la première place ! Le 1er Septembre, une heureuse nouvelle pour Infinite puisque le groupe remporte sa première récompense grâce à leur titre phare Be mine au M ! Countdown, et il en sera de même la semaine suivante. Paradise [Repackaged Album] Après le succès de leur premier album complet, Infinite annonce la sortie d'une version Repackage de Over The Top intitulé Paradise incluant les chansons de l'album précédent ainsi que 3 nouveaux titres. A partir du 19 Septembre, le site officiel a décidé de dévoiler chaque jour une par une les photos Teaser de chacun des membres pour faire languir les Inspirit. Le 21 Septembre, un Teaser du MV Paradise est révélé et le MV est dévoilé le 26 Septembre, jour de leur Comeback. Les 9 et 13 Octobre, Infinite remportent deux récompenses face à de grands groupes tels que Brown Eyed Girls, KARA ou même Super Junior montrant ainsi leur popularité auprès du public Coréen. Carrière au Japon Comme la majorité des grands groupes de K-Pop, Infinite s'apprête à conquérir le marché Japonais. Ainsi, le groupe se prépare actuellement pour ses débuts au Japon qui se fera le 19 Novembre. Ils ont d'ailleurs donné un concert au Japon intitulé Infinite 1st LIVE Leaping Over in Zepp Osaka qui s'est déroulé le 21 Septembre 2011. Winter Single Après leur promotion au Japon, nous les retrouvons en Corée du Sud. Le 1 Décembre, Woollim Entertainment sors un étrange teaser vidéo sur leur chaîne youtube intitulé "하얀고백 (White Confession) (Lately)". 5 jours plus tard, le 6 Décembre 2011 sors le MV tant attendu de "White Confession (Lately)" qui fut tourné au Japon.

Le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu a condamné "le meurtre odieux de Juifs, dont des petits enfants". "Il est trop tôt pour savoir précisément quelles sont les circonstances de cet acte meurtrier, mais nous ne pouvons pas écarter la possibilité qu'il a été motivé par un antisémitisme violent et sanglant.
Conforté par des sondages plus favorables, Nicolas Sarkozy a prononcé samedi à Lyon un de ses discours les plus violents contre son adversaire socialiste pour l'élection présidentielle. Résumé.
Paris 1911. Paul Grappe et Louise Landy s’aiment et se marient. Survient la guerre. Paul déserte, se travestit pour échapper à la sentence militaire et vit au côté de sa femme sous l’identité de Suzanne Landgard. Il entraîne son épouse dans des jeux sexuels et connaît son heure de gloire en devenant l’une des premières femmes à sauter en parachute. Avec la loi d’amnistie de 1925, il reprend son identité masculine mais il ne se supporte pas : c’est le début de la descente aux enfers pour le couple : il boit et devient de plus en plus violent poussant sa femme au crime. l
Bande annonce VOST du film Le policier. Yaron se trouve au cœur d’un groupe de policiers d’élite, appartenant à une unité anti-terroriste israélienne. Ses compagnons et lui sont l’arme, le fusil pointé par l’Etat sur ses adversaires, « l’ennemi arabe ». Yaron adore l’unité, la camaraderie masculine, son corps musclé, sa beauté. Yaron est très excité, sa femme, enceinte est sur le point d’accoucher ; il pourrait devenir père d’un moment à l’autre.

"Temps d'orages" représente le premier court métrage musical réalisé par l'équipe audiovisuelle de Belgorage. Celui-ci présente une journée durant laquelle se déroule deux vagues orageuses suivi d'une nuit où de nombreux orages nocturnes sévissent, concrétisant l'apothéose du court métrage.
Durant la journée du 14 juillet 2010, une vague orageuse d'une rare intensité a touché une grande partie de la Belgique. Le phénomène accompagnant les orages qui fut le plus intense est, sans aucun doute, le vent. Celui-ci fut particulièrement destructeur dans la province du Hainaut et de Namur. Dans la région de Ciney et Achêne, on a observé de nombreux arbres arrachés, des toitures envolées ainsi qu'une multitude de débris éparpillés dans l'entité. Une analyse ainsi que des témoignages constitue le reportage.
La nuit du 21 au 22 juillet 2009, quelques cellules orageuses se sont formées au sud-est de la Belgique. L'une d'entre-elle fut très spectaculaire par la fréquence des éclairs qui s'y produisaient. En effet, la moyenne se situait entre 1 à 2 éclairs par seconde avec des pointes à 4 éclairs par seconde. Par ailleurs, la densité des précipitations issues de cette cellule était supérieur à 100l/h. Enfin, une "jupe" semblait apparente sous l'orage, ce qui, avec la durée de vie de 4 heures, fait vivement penser à un orage supercellulaire...

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 ----------------------------------------------------------

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 ----------------------------------------------------------
Syria: 1 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.
