Le Qatar, ami discret de Paris

L’EXPRESS.fr: Cet émirat qui regorge de gaz est un marché en or pour les industriels et l'armement français. Du Golfe à la Syrie, il est devenu un levier clef de la politique arabe de Nicolas Sarkozy.

Le 29 novembre 2008, Nicolas Sarkozy a fait un aller-retour de vingt-quatre heures au Qatar pour prononcer un discours à la conférence des Nations unies sur le financement du développement. Le vrai message était ailleurs: il s'agissait de ménager les susceptibilités en prévenant que sa prochaine tournée dans le Golfe ne passerait pas par Doha.

Que de prévenance pour ce petit émirat! Il faut dire que le Qatar, riche des troisièmes réserves mondiales de gaz, dispose de moyens considérables au service d'une diplomatie très active. L'entente entre la France et cet émirat francophile ne date pas d'hier. Or, elle s'est considérablement renforcée depuis l'élection de Nicolas Sarkozy, et le Qatar s'est imposé comme un médiateur de premier plan de la diplomatie française au Proche et au Moyen-Orient. Parallèlement, il investit massivement en France dans l'aéronautique et l'hôtellerie de luxe. Cette relation privilégiée ne doit rien au hasard. L'émir Hamad ibn Khalifa al-Thani et son éminence grise, le Premier ministre Hamad ibn Jassem al-Thani, partagent avec le président français un goût prononcé pour les coups diplomatiques et politiques. >>> Par Romain Rosso | Vendredi 27 Février 2009

Andrea Orcel, one of seven senior executives from investment bankers Merrill Lynch, is now under investigation. He received $36 million in pay and bonuses last year alone

Mr Orcel is one of seven senior executives from investment bankers Merrill Lynch subpoenaed by the New York Attorney General over bonuses.

Andrew Cuomo is investigating $3.6 bn (£2.5 bn) in bonuses paid by Merrill shortly before it was bought out by Bank of America (BoA) last September.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr Orcel, 45, the company's top investment banker, and nine other colleagues got a total of $209m (£148m) in cash and stocks in 2008 at a time when Merrill's net loss rose to $27.6 bn (£19.5bn) and it had to be bailed out by the American taxpayer.

Mr Orcel has worked on some of the world's biggest investment-banking deals in recent years, including the highly damaging Royal Bank of Scotland takeover of the Dutch bank ABN Amro in 2007, a deal for which he was paid a $12m (£8.5m) bonus.

The doomed deal was one reason why the Government was forced to take a 95 per cent stake in the bank. London Banker to Be Questioned in US over £25m Merrill Lynch Bonus >>> By Nick Britten | Thursday, March 5, 2009

Islamist in Spanien verhaftet – Anschläge geplant

TAGES ANZEIGER: Der 21-jährige Marokkaner wollte offenbar Ferienanlagen in Marokko angreifen, so der Vorwurf. Jetzt ging der Islamist der spanischen Polizei ins Netz.

Wie das Innenministerium am Donnerstag mitteilte, wird dem Mann die Mitgliedschaft in einer Terrorzelle vorgeworfen, die Anschläge auf Urlaubsziele und staatliche Einrichtungen in dem nordafrikanischen Land geplant haben soll. >>> cpm/ap | Donnerstag, 5. März 2009

Horror of Horrors! Woman Takes to the Wheel in Saudi Arabia! And in Mecca! Just Imagine!

BBC: A woman has been arrested in Mecca in Saudi Arabia for driving a car.

Police gave chase after she was spotted at the wheel of a 4x4 car, the English daily Arab News reported. She was arrested after hitting another car.

Women are prohibited from driving on all public roads in Saudi Arabia, a ban that has triggered several high-profile protests by women's rights activists.

The woman's name and nationality have not been announced.
Only Muslims are permitted in the holy city of Mecca. >>> | Thursday, March 5, 2009

Retirement Age Backed by European Court

THE TELEGRAPH: European judges have backed Britain's compulsory retirement age of 65.

The verdict in Luxembourg amounts to a defeat for Age Concern's legal battle to banish enforced retirement at 65, but the final decision still rests with the UK High Court.

The European Court of Justice acknowledged that EU rules do ban employment discrimination on grounds of age but ruled the age could be enforced if it was related to employment policy or if it would help the labour market.

The High Court, which sent the case to Luxembourg for clarification of the law, will now have to make a final ruling on whether the aims of the Government's 65 retirement age are "legitimate".

The UK's Employment Equality (Age) Regulations, introduced in 2006, ban age discrimination but exclude pensioners, who can be dismissed at 65 without redundancy payments, or at the employer's mandatory retirement age if it is above 65. >>> | Thursday, March 5, 2009

La crise fait tourner le «rêve californien» au cauchemar

LE FIGARO: Dans le plus grand État américain, en quasi-faillite, les signes de déclin se multiplient dans la vie quotidienne.

Le parking de l'agence pour l'emploi est plein. Les voitures tournent en rond faute de place. À l'intérieur, la queue est longue et «s'allonge chaque jour», commente Catherine Caldera, la directrice. Rien qu'en janvier, la Californie a perdu 79 300 emplois, portant le taux de chômage à 10,1 %, le plus élevé depuis 1983. Plus ce chiffre augmente, plus les fonctionnaires, autrefois protégés, risquent eux aussi de se retrouver sur le pavé.

Ce vendredi, par exemple, comme chaque deuxième et quatrième vendredi du mois depuis début février, la moitié des collègues de Catherine sont au repos forcé - sans paie - par ordre d'Arnold Schwarzenegger, le gouverneur. Confronté à un déficit de 41 millions de dollars, le Golden State n'a tout simplement plus les moyens de payer ses employés à temps plein. «Avec cette mesure (qui touche environ 200 000 fonctionnaires), je perds environ 9,5 % de mon salaire, précise Catherine. Mais je m'estime encore heureuse de travailler.» Vingt mille fonctionnaires pourraient recevoir une lettre de licenciement dans les prochaines semaines.

La situation n'est guère plus brillante pour les enseignants. Les coupes claires dans les budgets de l'éducation propulseront dès septembre prochain des milliers d'entre eux au chômage. Les effectifs des salles de classe passeront ainsi de 20 à 30 élèves dans une majorité d'établissements scolaires. >>> A Los Angeles, Armelle Vincent | Jeudi 05 Mars 2009

Tausende demonstrieren im Sudan für Baschir

WELT ONLINE: In der sudanesischen Hauptstadt Khartum sind mehrere Tausend Menschen auf die Straße gegangen. Sie demonstrierten gegen den Haftbefehl des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs gegen Präsident Omar al-Baschir. Der nannte den Haftbefehl ein „Instrument des Neo-Kolonialismus". Auch China hält ihn für einen Fehler.

Sudans Präsident Omar al-Baschir hat den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof (IStGH) in Den Haag als „Instrument des Neo-Kolonialismus“ kritisiert. Der Sudan werde seit 20 Jahren von einem neuen Kolonialismus und „dessen Instrumenten wie dem IStGH“ unterdrückt, rief Baschir am Donnerstag tausenden Demonstranten in der sudanesischen Hauptstadt Khartum zu. „Die Kriminellen sind die Führer der USA und Europas“, sagte der Staatschef einen Tag nach der Ausstellung des Haftbefehls gegen ihn durch den IStGH.

Baschir warf den USA vor, Völkermorde begangen zu haben, und berief sich dabei auf die indianischen Ureinwohner des Landes, den US-Atombombenabwurf auf Hiroshima und den Vietnam-Krieg. Auf dem Platz der Märtyrer im Zentrum Karthums hatten sich am Morgen mehr als 5000 Menschen versammelt, um gegen den zu protestieren. Sie zeigten Bilder Baschirs und wetterten in Sprechchören gegen die USA, Großbritannien, die Juden und den Chefankläger des Strafgerichtshofs, Luis Moreno-Ocampo.

Der sudanesische UN-Botschafter Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamed verurteilte den Haftbefehl gegen Baschir in scharfer Form. Das sei ein „Rezept für Unglück und Anarchie“, erklärte Mohamed. Sein Land werde sich aber nicht länger um die Aussetzung des Haftbefehls bemühen, was bislang angestrebt wurde. Die „ganze kriminelle Verschwörung“ gegen den Sudan müsse beendet werden, erklärte der UN-Botschafter. Ziel sei eine dauerhafte Lösung für die Probleme in Darfur. >>> AP/dpa/AFP/cn | Donnerstag, 5.

«Le multiculturalisme trahit les femmes et les enfants»

Photo d’Ayaan Hirsi Ali grâce à la Cyberpresse

CYBERPRESSE.CA: C'est une tragédie, survenue aux Pays-Bas, qui l'a fait connaître du monde entier. En novembre 2004, un Néerlandais d'origine marocaine assassine le cinéaste Théo Van Gogh.

Ce dernier venait tout juste de réaliser le court métrage Soumission, un film dans lequel une femme au visage voilé, mais au corps nu, raconte à Allah les sévices qu'elle a subis au nom de la religion: violence, viol, mariage forcé. Sur sa peau, on peut lire des sourates du Coran.

En tuant le cinéaste, le meurtrier a laissé dans son dos, sous un poignard, une liste de personnes à éliminer. Le nom d'Ayaan Hirsi Ali, la scénariste du film, y figurait tout en haut.

Depuis, la jeune femme d'origine somalienne vit sous haute sécurité. Elle ne va nulle part sans des gardes armés. Avant de la rencontrer, à Montréal, les représentants de La Presse ont dû répondre à un interrogatoire de son garde du corps.

La menace qui plane sur elle n'a cependant jamais réduit Ayaan Hirsi Ali au silence. Auteure de deux livres, dont Infidèle, des mémoires dans lesquels elle raconte son enfance en Somalie dans une famille musulmane dévote, ainsi que son exil aux Pays-Bas pour éviter un mariage forcé, la jeune femme a été au coeur de plus d'une controverse. Notamment quand il a été révélé qu'elle avait pris quelques libertés avec la vérité en demandant l'asile, en 1992. >>> Laura-Julie Perreault,

Critic Says Islamic Extremism Gets Whitewashed in American Textbooks

FOX NEWS: NEW YORK — An education expert is warning that some American textbooks present a biased view of Islam and offer a sugarcoated picture of Islamic extremism, a trend that has parents worried about what's being taught in public schools.

In numerous history textbooks, "key subjects like jihad, Islamic law, the status of women are whitewashed," said Gilbert T. Sewall, director of the American Textbook Council, an independent group that reviews history books and other education materials.

Cindy Ross, the mother of a junior high school student in Marin County, Calif., said she couldn't believe her eyes when she read her son's textbook last school year.

"I was very shocked by what I saw, looking through the book," she said — shocked at how Islam was portrayed in her son's seventh grade history text.

"What did strike me was that all the other religions seemed to be lumped together, where there is an inordinate emphasis on Islam specifically," Ross said.

Sewall claims that publishers have been pressured by Islamic activists to portray the religion in the most favorable light, while Islamic terrorism is downplayed or glossed over.

"The picture is incomplete ... and the reason for this is that publishers are afraid of the Islamist activists. They don't want trouble," he told FOX News. >>> FOX News' Eric Shawn and Shira Bush contributed to this report | Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Malaysian Man Fights Baby's Secret Conversion to Islam

ASIAONE NEWS: KUALA LUMPUR - An ethnic Chinese Malaysian has gone to court to fight the secret conversion of his 15-month-old daughter by his estranged Muslim convert wife, his lawyer said Thursday.

Carpenter Hoo Ying Soon, 28, is also challenging the temporary custody granted to his wife by a sharia court in this Muslim-majority nation.

Lawyer Tang Jay Son told AFP Hoo only learned of his wife and child's secret conversion two days ago through a sharia court notice, which said the woman had become a Muslim on January 28 and his infant daughter on February 3.

"They also served him an interim court order... that grants the wife a temporary custody over the child and the reason for that is because the child is already a Muslim," Tang said.

"But we have to bear in mind that the child was converted to Islam without Hoo's knowledge and consent as a father."

The couple - originally both Buddhists who married in 2007 and live in central Negri Sembilan state- separated in September last year, the lawyer said.

He said the parents took turns to look after their daughter, who has now been given the Muslim name Nurul Syuhada Chew Abdullah. >>> AFP | Thursday, March 5, 2009

The Bank of England's Printing Presses Are Ready to Roll

THE TELEGRAPH: The big question is whether the extra cash will actually be spent, says Edmund Conway.

As far as markets are concerned, this is World War Three. Share prices have fallen so far and fast in the United States that they are back where they were when Bill Clinton was finishing his first term and John Major was still clinging on to power. Despite a small pick-up yesterday, the sense of misery and resignation remains so pervasive that US markets are now priced for either world war or full-scale depression.

Stocks are better value than they have been for all 1,680 months since 1870 save for brief periods in 1920 (post-WWI adaptation), 1932 (Great Depression), 1942 (WWII) and 1982 (stagflation hangover), according to calculations on the US markets from Lombard Street Research.

Observing this recession is rather like watching slow-motion footage of a car crash. And at the front bumper of the vehicle are share prices and money growth. Shares started really sliding last autumn, just before the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers coincided with a sudden and unprecedented collapse in world trade. But the impact of the collision is still travelling through the frame of the car, shattering individuals' fortunes with inexorable inevitability as it passes on. Investors have abandoned the markets because of their fright about the slide in profits and the rise in redundancies that lie ahead in the coming months.

Yet for all the sound and fury, the full scale of the impact has yet to be felt. It will only be at the end of this year, when unemployment is closer to three million than two million, that we will truly know how it feels to be in the thick of a recession. Sir Fred Goodwin may consider himself a victim of unreasonable public recrimination now, but I dread to think how the revelation of his pension would have gone down six or eight months hence with 10 per cent out of work for the first time since the 1980s. >>> By Edmund Conway | Thursday, March 5, 2009
