Morrem mais jornalistas na América Latina
Cláudia Souza*
23/7/2010
O Instituto Internacional de Imprensa (IPI) divulgou nesta semana relatório semestral de monitoramento das mortes de jornalistas no mundo. De acordo com o estudo, a América Latina é a região mais perigosa do globo para o exercício da profissão, totalizando 16 jornalistas mortos no primeiro semestre de 2010, superando a Ásia, o Oriente Médio e o Norte da África no número de assassinatos de jornalistas. Desde janeiro deste ano, seis profissionais de imprensa foram mortos no México e oito em Honduras. No mesmo período, 11 jornalistas foram assassinados na Ásia, a maioria em conflitos no Afeganistão e no Paquistão. —Um ano após o golpe militar, Honduras tem sofrido uma onda de ataques a jornalistas. O México tem sido de forma consistente um lugar perigoso para jornalistas desde que o IPI começou a monitorar os assassinatos, em 1997, devido à contínua violência resultante dos conflitos entre os cartéis do narcotráfico e o Exército apoiado pelo governo local. O IPI continua extremamente preocupado com a crescente violência nas Américas. Para que os jornalistas possam exercer a profissão com segurança, a lei e a ordem precisam ser restauradas e deve-se colocar um fim à impunidade, afirmou David Dadge, Diretor do IPI. *Com informações do Knight Center of Journalism, Europa Press e Periodista Digital.
'Avião eterno' está de volta à Terra
Esteve duas semanas no ar, mas após 31 horas já tinha batido a marca mundial de voos não tripulados. Ontem aterrou.
Duas semanas após ter levantado voo, o veículo aéreo não tripulado (UAV) Zephyr regressou à Terra. Com a alcunha de "Avião eterno", esta aeronave, alimentada a energia solar, completou o percurso sem paragens, em cima de uma região do Arizona (EUA) gerida pelo exército, até ser ordenado que aterrasse.
A Qinetic, empresa que desenvolveu este UAV, disse que o avião não tinha mais nada a provar e por isso voltou ao solo. Com duas semanas de voo, o Zephyr tinha já quebrado todos os recordes de endurance de um veículo não tripulado, antes de ter aterrado ontem.
"Estamos maravilhados com a 'performance", disse o gestor do projecto, Jon Saltmarsh. "É o culminar do esforço de muitos anos por um grande número de cientistas e engenheiros realmente talentosos", explicou à BBC News.
O Zephyr levantou voo às 14.40 (hora portuguesa, 06.40 local) no dia 9 deste mês, uma sexta-feira. Após 31 horas a voar, já tinha batido o recorde mundial de um voo de longa duração num avião não tripulado; mas depois continuou, sem se preocupar com o facto de precisar de combustível, como um avião tradicional.
Os céus limpos a 18 mil metros de altura permitem ao UAV recolher o máximo de luz solar para se alimentar pelos painéis de silicone, carregando as baterias e mantendo os seus propulsores a mover.
À noite, o Zephyr perde alguma altitude, mas a energia que armazenou durante o dia nas baterias é mais do que o suficiente para manter esta aeronave a voar.
#Russia announces grain interventions as drought destroys one-fifth of crops
MOSCOW (AP) - Russia will begin selling grain to its struggling meat and dairy producers after a severe drought killed at least one-fifth of grain crops across the country, the Agriculture Ministry said Wednesday.
The market interventions, totaling at least 3 million tons of grain, are aimed at containing food prices, Agriculture Minister Yelena Skrynnik said.
Russia — the world's third-largest wheat exporter — has suffered its worst drought in 130 years, according to officials. So far, the drought has destroyed 20 percent of the grain sown in central Russia and the Ural mountains, affecting more than 9.6 million hectares (24 million acres) of land and spurring an early harvest.
Some regions have lost up to 50 percent of their crops. At least 23 of Russia's 83 regions have announced a state of emergency.
As a result, grain traders have been driving up prices despite the fact that Russia and other exporters have large reserves, said Natasha Zagvozdina, head of Russian research at the Moscow-based Renaissance Capital.
The interventions will help "halt the rise of grain prices which have gone up disproportionally high compared to the drought figures we're receiving," Zagvozdina said.
Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade have gained nearly 25 percent since June to reach $5.83 a bushel Wednesday on the reports of droughts in Russia and floods in Canada.
Russia's grain stock, meanwhile, stood at 24 million tons as of July 1, following several years of sizable local and foreign investment in land and modern farming practices after decades of Soviet neglect.
The country recorded its biggest harvest in 20 years in 2008 at 108 million tons of grain.
The government is concerned the rising produce prices may threaten its goal of single-digit inflation.
Economists and agriculture experts have said the higher grain prices could add up to 2 percentage points to the overall inflation rate. Consumer prices have added nearly 5 percent so far this year.
#news: #Peru purchases Russian #helicopters to counter #terrorism, #drug trafficking
LIMA, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Peruvian Defense Minister Rafael Rey said his country had purchased eight Russian-made Mi series helicopters for the fight against terrorism and drug trafficking, a local newspaper reported on Friday. The helicopters, worth 250 million U.S. dollars, will be used by the armed forces in the Valley of Apurimac and Ene Rivers (VRAE) in the southeastern Andes, which is difficult to access due to adverse climates, the "La Republica" daily quoted Rey as saying. The purchase contract was signed in Lima on Thursday. Six of the helicopters are of the Mi-171 SH model equipped with artillery and electronic intelligence, while the other two are of Mi-35P model, which is the improved version of the Mi-19. The Russian arms trader Rosoboronexport will start deliveries later this year, which will be completed in 2011, Russian news agencies reported on Friday.
