Sophie & Co: ‘This Is the Apocalypse’ - Bataclan Concert Hall Survivor


The terrorist attacks on France have shaken the whole Western world. More than a hundred innocents were killed, and the worst took place at the Bataclan concert hall, where people just gathered to listen to music...but instead faced death at the hands of jihadists. What was happening there, when the concert turned into a bloodbath? We speak to a man who faced death and survived, a man who was inside the Bataclan hall when it all happened. Pierre Janaszak, a survivor of the jihadist attack on Paris, is on Sophie&Co today.

Attentats de Paris : Bruxelles propose une agence européenne du renseignement


LE POINT: La création d'une telle centrale nécessiterait de modifier les traités de l'Union, et plusieurs pays membres, tels que l'Allemagne, n'ont pas caché leurs réticences.

Le commissaire européen chargé des Affaires intérieures, Dimitris Avramopoulos, a proposé vendredi la création d'une agence européenne du renseignement après les attentats de Paris, mais il a reconnu, devant les réticences de certains États membres, qu'il s'agissait d'un « idéal ». Après les attentats de Charlie Hebdo, en janvier à Paris, Dimitris Avramopoulos avait proposé de créer un centre antiterroriste au sein d'Europol, qui doit commencer à fonctionner au 1er janvier 2016. « Mais je crois qu'il est temps de faire un pas supplémentaire en avant et de créer la base d'une agence européenne du renseignement », a plaidé Dimitris Avramopoulos, alors que les attentats ont mis en lumière des failles dans la coopération entre services secrets. » | Source AFP | vendredi 20 novembre 2015

Krieg in Syrien: Obama besteht auf Entmachtung Assads

Der amerikanische Präsident Obama sieht keine Lösung
für Syrien, die Diktator Assad beinhaltet.
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Der amerikanische Präsident ist entschlossen: Eine Lösung in Syrien mit Diktator Assad könne es nicht geben. Zumindest nicht, so lange die „Bevölkerung in ihm einen brutalen, mörderischen Diktator sieht.“

Der amerikanische Präsident Barack Obama besteht auf einer Ablösung des syrischen Diktators Baschar al Assad. „Es reicht nicht, wenn wir einen politischen Prozess haben, der dazu führt, dass Assad an der Macht bleibt“, sagte Obama am Donnerstag in Manila. „Es ist undenkbar, dass man den Bürgerkrieg dort stoppt, wenn die überwältigende Mehrheit der Bevölkerung in ihm einen brutalen, mörderischen Diktator sieht.“ » | Christoph Ehrhardt, Beirut | Donnerstag, 19.

Saudi Court Sentences Poet to Death for Renouncing Islam

THE GUARDIAN: Friends of Palestinian Ashraf Fayadh believe he is being punished for posting video showing religious police lashing a man in public

A Palestinian poet and leading member of Saudi Arabia’s nascent contemporary art scene has been sentenced to death for renouncing Islam.

A Saudi court on Tuesday ordered the execution of Ashraf Fayadh, who has curated art shows in Jeddah and at the Venice Biennale. The poet, who said he did not have legal representation, was given 30 days to appeal against the ruling.

Fayadh, 35, a key member of the British-Saudi art organization Edge of Arabia, was originally sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes by the general court in Abha, a city in the south-west of the ultraconservative kingdom, in May 2014.

But after his appeal was dismissed he was retried last month and a new panel of judges ruled that his repentance did not prevent his execution.

“I was really shocked but it was expected, though I didn’t do anything that deserves death,” Fayadh told the Guardian. » | David Batty | Friday, November 20, 2015

Germany Could Send Troops into Streets for First Time Since War

THE TELEGRAPH: Berlin debates contentious move as France extends state of emergency and Italy boosts protection

Germany could deploy armed soldiers on its streets for the first time since the Second World War, as Europe went into lockdown in the wake of the Paris attacks.

The German proposals would be highly controversial in a country that remains deeply reluctant to use its armed forces because of its Nazi past.

Ministers raised the idea after Tuesday night’s friendly football match between Germany and Holland in Hanover was cancelled minutes before kick-off following a tip-off from intelligence in another EU state.

According to German media, a group of attackers had planned to set off multiple explosives at the stadium, where Angela Merkel was due to attend the match, and to detonate a bomb in the city centre.

Wolfgang Schäuble, the finance minister, has publicly called for the military to be used in the event of coordinated terror attacks on a German city.

“If we had a situation like Paris, perhaps with attacks in three of four places, we’d have to think about whether our police capabilities are enough,” Mr Schäuble told the Rheinische Post newspaper. “What can we do to support security forces that are already overwhelmed on some normal weekends in the face of great challenges?” » | Justin Huggler in Berlin and Henry Samuel in Paris | Thursday, November 19, 2015

Paris Attacks: Isis 'Chemical Weapons' Warning Issued by French PM Manuel Valls

THE INDEPENDENT: Valls urges French parliament to extend its state of emergency

The Isis militant group could arm itself with biological and chemical weapons in future terror attacks on Europe, the French prime minister has warned.

Manuel Valls said France faced a serious threat from associates linked to the gunmen and bombers who launched attacks across Paris last Friday, killing 129.

"We must not rule anything out," he said. "I say it with all the precautions needed. But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons."

Mr Valls presented a bill to the French parliament that would extend the country's state of emergency for another three months. It will then go to the upper house on Friday. » | Adam Withnall | Thursday, November 19, 2015

Terroralarm: Frankreich wappnet sich gegen Chemie-Anschläge


SPIEGEL ONLINE: Frankreich bereitet sich auf Attentate mit chemischen Waffen vor: Ein Erlass der Regierung verordnet jetzt die Herstellung des Gegengiftes Atropin.

Die französische Regierung trifft Vorkehrungen zur Abwehr eines Terrorangriffs mit chemischen Kampfmitteln. Das geht aus einem Erlass des Gesundheitsministeriums hervor, der im offiziellen Gesetzblatt veröffentlicht wurde. Darin werde der Ankauf, die Lagerung, Verteilung und Verschreibung von Atropin-Sulfat in großem Umfang gefordert. Das berichtet die Zeitung "Le Figaro". Das eigentlich toxische Mittel wird nur vom Zentrallabor der Streitkräfte hergestellt. Es kann bei Kampfstoffangriffen - wie etwa mit Sarin-Gas - Betroffenen in hohen Dosen als Gegengift verabreicht werden. » | Von Stefan Simons, Paris | Donnerstag, 19. November 2015
