Medizinern zufolge wird der Klimawandel künftig das Gesundheitssystem auf die Probe stellen. Die Klimaveränderungen seien "ganz sicher" eine der größten Herausforderungen für das Gesundheitssystem in den nächsten 20 bis 50 Jahren, sagte der Andreas Zeiher, Präsident der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie. Vor allem dem Herz-Kreislauf-System machten hohe Temperaturen und große Temperatursprünge binnen kurzer Zeit zu schaffen und führten vermehrt zu Herzinfarkten. Vor allem Menschen mit Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, ältere Menschen und Diabetiker seien betroffen.

According to physicians, climate change will put the healthcare system to the test in the future. Andreas Zeiher, president of the German Cardiology Association, says that changes to the climate will "certainly" be one of the greatest challenges to the healthcare system during the next twenty to fifty years. High temperatures and extreme temperature changes primarily stress the cardiovascular system and lead increasingly to heart attacks. Those most affected include people with cardiovascular disease, the elderly, and diabetics.

According to doctors, climate change will put the health care system to the test. The changes to the climate will "quite certainly" be one of the greatest challenges for the health care system in the next 20 to 50 years, said Andreas Zeiher, President of the German Cardiac Society. High temperatures and large changes in temperature over a short period of time are a challenge for the cardiovascular system and lead to more heart attacks. Above all, people with cardiovascular illnesses, older people and those with diabetes are affected.

Green Politician Must Answer for Embarrassing Photo Slip-Up


Die Chefin der kanadischen Grünen, Elizabeth May, im Wahlkampf - wurde aus diesem Grund der Becher manipuliert?

Elisabeth May, the leader of the Green Party of Canada—Was the cup edited for this reason?

Green party leader Elizabeth May in the election campaign – is that why the cup was manipulated?


Die kanadische Grünen-Chefin hält auf einem Foto einen Mehrweg-Becher in der Hand. Doch jetzt kam heraus: Der Becher wurde manipuliert.

The leader of the Green Party of Canada holds a reusable cup in her hand in a photo. However, it has not come out: The cup was edited.

In the photo, the Canadian Green party leader is holding a reusable cup in her hands. But it has now become apparent: The cup was manipulated.


Ottawa/Kanada - Es ist ziemlich lange unbemerkt geblieben - und schlussendlich doch aufgefallen. Den wiederverwendbaren Kaffeebecher mit Metallstrohhalm hat Elizabeth May, die Chefin der kanadischen Grünen, niemals in der Hand gehalten. Auf der Website der Partei war sie auf einem Foto mit diesem Becher zu sehen, im Gespräch mit Bürgern. Allerdings war das Foto schon zuvor veröffentlicht und auch an die Medien verbreitet worden - und da war der Becher noch ein schnöder (Papp) Becher, wie die kanadische National Post berichtete.

Ottawa/Canada—It has gone unnoticed for a long time, but was finally discovered. Elisabeth May, the leader of the Canadian Green Party, never had the reusable coffee cup with the metal straw in her hand. The photograph on the party´s website showed May holding the cup and talking to the voters. However, the photo had been published and distributed to the media before—and the cup used to be a crude (paper) cup, as the Canadian National Post reported.

Ottawa/Canada - It remained undetected for quite some time - and has now finally been noticed. Green party leader Elizabeth May never held the reusable coffee cup with metal straw in her hands. On the party’s website, she was depicted in a photo with the cup in her hand, talking to members of the public. However, the photo had been published and distributed to the media previously – and there the cup was a simple (paper) cup, as the Canadian National Post reported.

Green party leader must answer for photo slip-up


Die National Post warf May daraufhin Manipulation vor und dass die Partei Fake News produziere, um beim Thema "Umweltschutz" glaubwürdiger zu erscheinen. Und das mitten in einem Wahlkampf zur Unterhaus-Wahl, in dem es auch Trudeau wegen eines Bestechungsskandals zunehmend schwer hat.

The National Post accused May of manipulation and stated that the party was spreading fake news in order to appear more credible regarding "environmental protection". And that in the middle of an election campaign for the House of Commons, as Trudeau has also been dealing with difficulties because of a bribery scandal.

The National Post accused May of manipulation and the party of producing fake news to appear more credible on the subject of “environmental protection”. This was in the midst of the election campaign for the House of Commons in which Trudeau is facing difficulties due to a bribery scandal.


Das Foto ging in den sozialen Medien viral und fachte die Diskussion über Fake News an. Ein User teilt eine Gegenüberstellung der Fotos und schreibt: "Die Grünen manipulieren ein Foto ihrer Vorsitzenden, um ihren Einwegbecher zu verheimlichen".

The photo went viral on social media and sparked discussion on fake news. A user shared a comparison of the two photos and wrote: "The Green party edited a photograph of its leader to hide a single-use coffee cup".

The photo went viral in social media and fueled the discussion about fake news. A user shared a side-by-side comparison of the two photos and wrote: “The Greens manipulate a photo of their party leader to hide her disposable cup.”


May zeigte sich schockiert und beteuerte auf ihrem Blog, von dieser Aktion nichts gewusst zu haben. Um das zu unterstreichen, postete sie dazu gleich das Original: Sie, im Gespräch mit Bürgern, einen Becher in der Hand. Der allerdings, stellte sie richtig, sei aus Bambus. Sie habe ihn immer dabei. Eine Sprecherin der Partei sagte, es sei nur darum gegangen, das Parteilogo im Bild unterzubringen, und nicht, etwas zu vertuschen. Von dem Foto ist auf der Website nur noch ein Ausschnitt zu sehen.

May seemed shocked and claimed not to have known anything about this on her blog. For emphasis, she posted the original photograph: Herself, speaking to the voters, coffee cup in hand. The cup is, however, made of bamboo. She always carries it with her. A spokeswoman for the party claimed that the goal was to add the party logo to the photo, and not to conceal anything. A part of the photo can still be found on the party website.

May expressed her shock and assured in her blog that she knew nothing about this change. To emphasize this, she immediately posted the original photo: She herself, talking to members of the public, a cup in her hands. That cup, she rectified, is made of bamboo. She always has it with her. A spokesperson of the party said that the only point was to introduce the party logo into the picture, not to hide anything. Only part of the picture is now visible on the website.


May schreibt, es tue ihr Leid für den Mitarbeiter, der das getan habe. "Ich will ihn nicht als dumm bezeichnen, aber es gab ja nichts zu verbergen", sagt sie gegenüber dem Guardianund erbat sich zugleich etwas von ihrem überengagierten Team: "Falls sie wieder Lust haben, ein Bild zu bearbeiten, könnten sie dann nicht was mit meinem Gesicht machen, sodass ich jünger aussehe?"

May wrote she felt sorry for the employee who did it. "I do not want to say he is stupid, but there was nothing to hide", she said to the Guardian and addressed her overly committed team: "If you intend to edit a photograph, would it be possible to edit my face so that I look younger?"

May writes that she feels sorry for the employee who did this. “I don’t want to call them stupid on television, but there was nothing there to hide,” she said and asked her overly enthusiastic team: “If they’re going to Photoshop, couldn’t they do something with my face and make it look a little younger?”


Auch die deutschen Grünen sind wegen ihres Gebrauchs von Einweg-Plastik oder wegen Flugreisen in Shitstorms geraten - ihre Bilder waren allerdings nicht gefotoshoppt. So aß die Chefin der bayerischen Grünen, Katharina Schulze, im Urlaub Eis mit Plastiklöffel, wie merkur.de* berichtete.

The German Green party also had to deal with shitstorms because of their use of disposable plastic and of air travel—but their pictures were not photoshopped. The leader of the Bavarian Green party Katharina Schulze, ate her ice cream with a plastic spoon on vacation, as merkur.de reports.

The German Greens have also been hit by maelstroms for their use of disposable plastic and travel by air; however, their pictures were not photoshopped. The head of the Green Party in Bavaria, Katharina Schulze, for instance, was eating ice cream with a plastic spoon on vacation, as reported by merkur.de*.


Influencerin will Gratis-Upgrade: Lebenslanges Flugverbot bei Cathay

Influencer wants free upgrade: Life-long ban from Cathay

Influencer wants upgrade for free: lifelong ban for flights


Angeblich sei Jaqueline Ng per Mail von Cathay Pacific ein Upgrade zugesichert worden. Doch als sie beim Check-in darum bat, durfte sie nicht an Bord - und sie soll nie wieder mit Cathay fliegen dürfen.

Jaqueline Ng had apparently received mail from Cathay Pacific confirming an upgrade. But when she asked about it at check-in, she was not allowed on board—and she can never fly with Cathay again.

Allegedly, Jaqueline Ng had been assured an upgrade via mail. But when she asked for it during check-in, she was not allowed on board – and was banned for life from Cathay.


Spontan ein Upgrade für die Business Class bekommen - davon träumen viele Fluggäste. Manchmal haben sie Glück, und die Mitarbeiter am Check-in bieten einen Wechsel aus der Economy Class gratis an.

Many passengers dream of being spontaneously upgraded to business class. Sometimes they are lucky and check-in employees offer to switch them from economy class.

Many flight guests dream of an upgrade to business class. Sometimes they get lucky and the employees at the check-in offer a change from economy class for free.


Dieser Fall zeigt allerdings, wie man es nicht machen sollte: Eine selbst erklärte Influencerin hat die Airline Cathay Pacific aktiv um ein kostenloses Upgrade gebeten. Auf Instagram folgen Jaqueline Ng mehr als 65.000 User. Am 30. Mai ist sie von Taiwan nach New York und am 7. Juni zurückgeflogen.

This case shows, however, how not do it: A self-declared influencer actively requested a free upgrade from airline Cathay Pacific. More than 65,000 users follow Jaqueline Ng on Instagram. On May 30, she flew from Taiwan to New York, returning on June 7.

This case shows though, how you should not do it. A self-declared influencer actively asked Cathay Pacific airline for a free upgrade. On Instagram Jaqueline Ng has more than 65,000 followers. On May 30th she flew to Taiwan; on June 7th she flew back to New York.


Auf dem Hinflug verweigerten die Mitarbeiter Jaqueline ein Upgrade, obwohl sie eine Mail vorgezeigt habe, in der ihr Cathay Pacific angeblich ein Upgrade in Aussicht stellte. Das Schreiben will die Influencerin von einem Marketing-Mitarbeiter der Airline erhalten haben. Die Airline hingegen beschuldigt Jaqueline, die Mail gefälscht zu haben.

On her outbound flight, employees refused to give Jaqueline an upgrade even though she showed them an email stating Cathay Pacific had allegedly promised her an upgrade. The influencer claims to have received the message from a marketing employee at the airline. However, the airline accused Jaqueline of falsifying the email.

Employees denied the upgrade on the outbound flight, even though she showed an email from Cathay Pacific allegedly promising an upgrade. The mail supposedly came from a marketing associate of the airline. However, the airline accuses Jaqueline of forging the mail.


Auf dem Rückflug versuchte Jaqueline nämlich erneut, ein Upgrade für den Langstreckenflug zu bekommen. Diesmal soll die Frau dieselbe Mail vorgezeigt haben, allerdings mit einer anderen Referenznummer. Die Mitarbeiter am Flughafen JFK waren skeptisch: Sie hakten bei der Zentrale nach. Und tatsächlich soll der Angestellte, von dem die Mail angeblich stammt, den Mailkontakt mit Jaqueline abgestritten haben. Das bestätigte auch das Mailsystem, in dem die Nachrichten nicht auftauchten.

On her return flight, Jaqueline again tried to get an upgrade for the long-haul flight. The woman is alleged to have presented the email this time as well, but with a different reference number. Employees at JFK Airport were skeptical. They contacted their head office and dug a little deeper. As it turns out, the employee from whom the email is said to have originated denied writing to Jaqueline. The email system also confirmed this, as the messages were not found.

On the return flight, Jaqueline tried to get an upgrade for the long haul flight again. This time, she showed the same email but with a different reference number. The employees at JFK airport were skeptical: they asked headquarters and indeed, the employee who supposedly wrote the mail denied any correspondence with Jaqueline. This has been confirmed by the email system, in which the messages did not appear.


Die Airline-Mitarbeiter am Flughafen cancelten Jaquelines Ticket und verhängten ein lebenslanges Flugverbot mit Cathay Pacific. Für 1.400 US-Dollar (rund 1.280 Euro) musste sie sich ein neues Flugtickte nach Taiwan kaufen.

Airline employees at the airport canceled Jacqueline's ticket and hit her with a life-long flying ban from Cathay Pacific. She was forced to purchase a new ticket to Taiwan for $1,400 (around €1,280).

Airline employees at the airport canceled Jaqueline’s tickets and imposed a lifelong ban on flights with Cathay Pacific. She had to buy a new plane ticket to Taiwan for USD 1,400 .


Mit ihrem Fall wandte sich die Influencerin an Elliot Advocacy, ein Unternehmen, das Verbraucherinteressen vertritt. Denn Cathay hatte ihr zwar den Preis für ihr ursprüngliches Ticket erstattet, Jaqueline forderte aber auch die Kosten für das neue Ticket zurück.

The influencer took her case to Elliot Advocacy, a company that represents consumer interests. Cathay had reimbursed her for the price of her original ticket, but Jacqueline also wanted the costs of the new ticket home.

The influencer turned to Elliot Advocacy, a corporation that represents consumer interests. Even though Cathay reimbursed her the price for the original ticket, Jaqueline demands the reimbursement for the new ticket as well.


Doch solange Jaqueline nicht die Metadaten der Mail einreicht, bleibt der Fall klar: Für Cathay hat die Influencerin Betrug begangen, sie bleibt für künftige Flüge gesperrt. Die Geschäftsbedingungen der Airline besagen außerdem, dass diese den neuen Flug nicht zahlen muss. Jaqueline will sich damit nicht zufriedengeben - und schaltet jetzt einen Anwalt ein.

However, unless Jaqueline submits the email metadata, the case is clear: As far as Cathay is concerned, the influencer has committed fraud; she will remain banned from future flights. The airline's terms and conditions also state that it does not have to pay for the new flight. Jacqueline is not satisfied—and is now seeking an attorney.

But as long as Jaqueline cannot submit the metadata of the email, the case is clear. According to Cathay, the influencer committed fraud and is banned from future flights. The terms and agreements of the airline also state that they don not need to pay for the new flight. Jaqueline will not accept this and is now hiring a lawyer.

The price for a barrel of the American sort West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell by 1.3 percent to 55.77 dollars.


Auslöser für den Kursrutsch war ein Bericht des Wall Street Journals über einen Waffenstillstand im Jemen. Saudi-Arabien soll in vier Gebieten einem Waffenstillstand zugestimmt haben.

The fall was triggered by a report in the Wall Street Journal about a ceasefire in Yemen, Saudi Arabia is reported to have agreed to a ceasefire in four regions.

The trigger for the market slide was a report of the Wall Street Journal about a ceasefire in Yemen. Saudi Arabia allegedly has agreed to a ceasefire in four regions.


Ein Drohnen-Angriff auf die Ölanlagen in Saudi-Arabien hatte Mitte September fünf Prozent der weltweiten Öl-Produktion zum Erliegen gebracht. Die mit dem Iran verbündeten Huthi-Rebellen im Bürgerkriegsland Jemen hatten die Angriffe für sich reklamiert. Saudi-Arabien macht wie die US-Regierung den Iran verantwortlich. Ein Waffenstillstand würde die politische Spannung in der Region entschärfen.

A drone attack on oil refineries in Saudi Arabia in the middle of September had paralyzed 5 per cent of world oil output. In civil war-torn Yemen, the Huthi rebels allied with Iran claimed responsibility for the attacks Like the US Government, Saudi Arabia blames Iran. A ceasefire would ease the political tension in the region.

A drone attack on the oil plants in Saudi-Arabia in mid-September had brought five percent of the global oil production to a halt. The Houthi rebels, allied with Iran, had claimed responsibility for the attacks in civil war-torn Yemen. Saudi Arabia, like the US government, blames Iran. A ceasefire would mitigate the tensions in the region.


Sollte eine Einigung tatsächlich zustande kommen, könne man sich auf Wachstum und Nachfragesorgen konzentrieren, sagte Ole Hansen, Leiter der Abteilung Rohstoffstrategie bei der Saxo Bank der Nachrichtenagentur Bloomberg.

If an agreement is reached, focus can be centered on problems with growth and demand, said Ole Hansen, head of the commodity strategy section at the Bloomberg news agency's Saxo Bank.

"Should an agreement be reached, you could focus on growth and demand concerns," Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank told news agency Bloomberg.


Die Ölpreise setzt damit seine Abwärtsbewegung der vergangenen Tage fort. Vor einer Woche hatte ein Barrel WTI-Öl noch bis fast 59 Dollar gekostet, Brent fast 65 Dollar.

Oil prices are therefore continuing the downward trend of the last few days. A week ago, a barrel of WTI oil still cost almost $59, and a barrel of Brent almost $65.

Oil prices continued their slide of the past few days. A week ago one barrel of WTI oil amounted to almost 59 dollars, and Brent to nearly 65 dollars.


Zuletzt hatte Bloomberg unter Berufung auf Insider berichtet, dass die Reparaturarbeiten an Ölanlagen in Saudi-Arabien nach dem Angriff Mitte September schneller vorankommen als gedacht. Demnach habe die Produktionsmenge wieder ein Volumen von acht Millionen Barrel pro Tag erreicht und bewege sich wieder in Richtung der ursprünglichen Menge.

Citing insiders, Bloomberg reported recently that the repairs to the oil facilities in Saudi Arabia after the attack were proceeding faster than expected. According to this source, output is said to have again reached 8 million barrels per day and is heading back to its original level.

Bloomberg recently reported faster repair works on the oil plants in Saudi Arabia after the attacks in mid-September, citing inside sources. Accordingly the production output reached a volume of eight million barrels per day and is moving towards regular amounts.


Zuletzt gab es mehrfach Pressemeldungen unter Berufung auf Insider, die von schnellen Fortschritten des staatlichen Ölkonzerns Saudi Aramco bei den Reparaturarbeiten berichten. Rohstoffexperten verwiesen aber darauf, dass Saudi Aramco derzeit einen Börsengang plane und negative Schlagzeilen vermeiden wolle.

There have been several press reports recently referring to insiders and talking of rapid progress by the state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco in carrying out the repairs. But commodities experts claimed that Saudi Aramco is currently planning a stock market flotation and wants to avoid negative headlines.

Recently there have been several news releases, backed by inside sources, that addressed quick developments in the state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco regarding the repair works. Experts pointed to Saudi Aramco’s plans to become listed and to avoid negative headlines.


Zugleich deutete sich etwas Entspannung im Konflikt zwischen dem Iran und westlichen Ländern an: Der britische Öltanker "Stena Impero" ist mehr als zwei Monate nach dem Festsetzen durch den Iran und die kürzlich erteilte Freigabe auf dem Weg, den Hafen zu verlassen. Die Besatzung bereite nun die Abfahrt vor, während das Schiff weiter vor Anker liege, teilte Reedereichef Erik Hånell dem schwedischen Rundfunk am Freitagmorgen in einer SMS mit.

At the same time, there has been an easing of tension in the conflict between Iran and the West. After being held by the Iranians for more than two months and recently released, British oil tanker the Stena Impero is about to leave harbor. The crew are now preparing for departure while the ship is still at anchor, shipping company boss Erik Hånell told Swedish radio in a text message Friday morning.

The British oil tanker Stena Impero is now on its way to leave port, after being detained for more than two months by Iran. The crew is now preparing to depart, while the ship still lies at anchor, Erik Hånell, head of the shipping company told Swedish broadcasting in a text message.


Allerdings kündigten die USA an, Abwehrraketen und Soldaten zum iranischen Erzfeind nach Saudi-Arabien zu verlegen. Die Furcht vor einer Eskalation zwischen der Islamischen Republik und Ländern wie den USA und Großbritannien hatte die Ölpreise in den vergangenen Wochen zeitweise deutlich in die Höhe getrieben.

Nevertheless, the United States said it would deploy missiles and troops against its Iranian archenemy to Saudi Arabia. Fears of an escalation between the Islamic Republic and countries such as the United States and Great Britain had driven oil prices upwards in recent weeks, at times significantly.

However, the USA announced a relocation of defensive missiles and soldiers against the Iranian nemesis of Saudi Arabia. The fear of an escalation between the Islamic Republic and countries like the USA and the United Kingdom considerably drove up oil prices in the past weeks.

Das erklärte ein anonymer Hinweisgeber. Die Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses, die Demokratin Nancy Pelosi, warf dem Weißen Haus explizit "Vertuschung" vor. Trump sprach von einer "Hexenjagd".

Nordkorea hält dritten Gipfel von Trump und Kim für fraglich

North Korea considers a third summit for Trump and Kim to be questionable

North Korea Thinks Third Summit Between Trump and Kim in Doubt


Nordkorea hat Zweifel vorgebracht, dass es im Atomstreit bald zu einem dritten Gipfel von Machthaber Kim Jong-un und US-Präsident Donald Trump kommen wird. Der Sinn und die Erfolgsaussichten eines solchen Treffens seien wegen mangelnder Fortschritte bei der Umsetzung von Vereinbarungen des ersten Gipfels in Singapur fraglich, sagte Spitzendiplomat Kim Kye-gwan am Freitag laut der Agentur KCNA.

North Korea has raised doubts that the nuclear dispute is likely to lead to a third summit for rulers Kim Jong-un and US president Donald Trump soon. The meaning and the chances of success of such a meeting are doubtful due to a lack of progress in the implementation of agreements of the first summit in Singapore, according to top diplomat Kim Kye-gwan via the KCNA agency.

North Korea has expressed doubts over a third summit in the nuclear dispute between ruler Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump. The purpose and chances of success of such a meeting are doubtful due to the lack of progress in the implementation of the arrangements made at the first summit in Singapore, top diplomat Kim Kye-gwan said on Friday according to the agency KCNA.


Die USA hätten bisher nichts dafür getan, die Beschlüsse des Gipfels im Vorjahr umzusetzen, sagte der Berater des nordkoreanischen Außenministeriums. Er kritisierte zudem verschärfte US-Sanktionen und die gemeinsamen Militärmanöver der USA und Südkoreas. Er hoffe aber auf eine "weise" und "mutige" Entscheidung Trumps, damit es wieder zu einer Annäherung komme.

So far, the USA have not done anything to implement last year's summit's decisions, the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs advisor said. He also criticized tighter sanctions and common military maneuvers of the USA and South Korea. However, he hoped for a "wise" and "brave" decision by Trump, so that things can become closer again.

The US has done nothing so far to implement the resolutions of last year's summit, the advisor of the North Korean Foreign Ministry said. He also criticized the tighter US sanctions and the joint military exercises by the US and South Korea. But he still hopes for a “wise” and “brave” decision by Trump to enable another rapprochement.


Trump hatte am Montag gesagt, er wolle erst wissen, was ein drittes Gipfeltreffen mit Kim bringen solle, bevor er sich dazu bereiterkläre. Die Verhandlungen über eine Abrüstung des nordkoreanischen Atom- und Raketenprogramms sind seit dem gescheiterten zweiten Gipfeltreffen von Trump und Kim im Februar in Hanoi ins Stocken geraten. Im Juni trafen sich beide dann in der Entmilitarisierten Zone zwischen den beiden koreanischen Staaten. Dabei vereinbarten sie, die Beratungen wiederzubeleben, bisher aber ohne großen Erfolg.

On Monday, Trump had said that he first wanted to know what a third summit with Kim would entail, before declaring himself prepared for it. The negotiations for a disarmament of the North Korean nuclear and missile program have stalled since the failed summit for Trump and Kim in February in Hanoi. In June both met in the demilitarized zone between both the Korean states. Here they agreed to revive consultations, so far without success.

Trump had said on Monday that he first wanted to know what a third summit with Kim could achieve before he agreed to it. Negotiations on the disarmament of the North Korean nuclear and missile program came to a standstill after the second summit between Trump and Kim failed in Hanoi last February. In June, the two met in the Demilitarized Zone between the two Korean states. There, they both agreed to revive the negotiations, but without much success so far.

Prince Harry: weapons manufacturers should assist in mine clearing


Mit einer blauen Splitterschutzweste bekleidet hat der britische Prinz Harry in Angola symbolisch eine Sprengmine gezündet und zerstört. Nahe einem Camp des britischen Halo Trusts bei dem Ort Dirico stellte er den Zündkreis her. In sicherer Entfernung explodierte der Sprengkörper. Mit Blick auf das Ziel, Angola bis 2025 minenfrei zu bekommen, forderte er später vor laufenden TV-Kameras: "Ich rufe alle die Länder auf, deren Namen auf diesen Waffen stehen, die aber nicht beim Wegräumen geholfen haben, sich zur Hilfe zu verpflichten".

Wearing a blue protective jacket, British prince Harry symbolically detonated and destroyed a blast mine in Angola. He made the ignition circle near a camp run by the British Halo Trust in the Dirico area. The explosive device detonated at a safe distance. With a view to making Angola mine-free by 2025, he later made a request in front of running TV cameras. "I am calling on all countries, the names on which are written on these weapons, but which have not assisted in clearance, to make a commitment to help."

In light of an imminent interest rate reduction, the pound is decreasing in value against the euro.


Frankfurt Spekulationen auf eine baldige Zinssenkung der Bank von England (BoE) setzen dem Pfund Sterling zu. Die britische Währung verbilligte sich am Freitag um bis zu 0,4 Prozent auf 1,2269 Dollar.

Speculation in Frankfurt over an imminent fall in Bank of England (BoE) interest rates is punishing sterling. On Friday, the British currency fell by 0.4 percent to $1.2269

Frankfurt speculations that the Bank of England (BoE) will soon be reducing its interest rates are putting pressure on the pound sterling. On Friday, the British currency dropped by up to 0.4 percent down to 1.2269 dollars.


Auslöser der Verkäufe waren Äußerungen des Notenbankers Michael Saunders. Dieser brachte eine Zinssenkung ins Gespräch, selbst wenn ein chaotischer Brexit abgewendet werden könne, da die Verunsicherung die britische Konjunktur auf absehbare Zeit beeinträchtigen werde. Diese Aussage sei überraschend, da Saunders als Verfechter einer restriktiven Geldpolitik gelte, sagte Analyst Ricardo Evangelista vom Brokerhaus ActivTrades.

on the back of remarks by Michael Saunders of the Bank of England. He talked of a potential fall in interest rates even though a chaotic Brexit had been avoided, as the uncertainty will affect the British economy for the foreseeable future. His remark was a surprise because Saunders is considered an advocate of restrictive monetary policy, said analyst Ricardo Evangelista from the ActivTrades brokerage firm.

The sales were triggered by central banker Michael Saunders’ statements. He brought up the topic of an interest rate reduction, even if a chaotic Brexit could be avoided, as uncertainty could adversely affect the British economy for the foreseeable future. This was a surprising statement, as Saunders is normally known to be an advocate of restrictive monetary policies, said analyst Ricardo Evangelista of the brokerage house ActivTrades.


Vergangene Woche hatte die Bank von England bereits auf die Belastungen für die Wirtschaft durch den Brexit-Hickhack hingewiesen, ohne direkt eine Zinssenkung zu signalisieren. Premierminister Boris Johnson will sein Land notfalls auch ohne Scheidungsvereinbarung zum 31. Oktober aus der EU führen.

Last week, the Bank of England had referred to the economic burden resulting from the wrangling over Brexit, without directly mentioning a reduction in interest rates. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to take his country out of the EU on October 31, without a withdrawal agreement if necessary.

Just last week, the Bank of England pointed out how the Brexit-wrangling is putting a strain on the economy. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to lead his country out of the EU on October 31, if need be without a withdrawal agreement.

Doping: Weitere russische Manipulationen erwiesen

Doping: Further Russian Manipulations Proven


Material aus dem Moskauer Analyselabor wird manipuliert - dies bestätigt David Howman, einstiger Direktor der Welt-Antidoping-Agentur (Wada) und heutiger Integritätschef des Leichtathletik-Weltverbandes.

Material from the Moscow analysis lab has been manipulated, confirms David Howman, the former director of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and now the Athletics Integrity Unit Chair of The International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF).

Material from the Moscow analysis laboratory is being tampered with, as confirmed by David Howman, once director of the world anti-doping agency (WADA) and current head of integrity at the World Athletics Council.


Zum Auftakt der Leichtathletik-WM kommen neue Details zum Doping-Skandal in Russland zum Vorschein - und sie vernichten das wenige an Glaubwürdigkeit, was der russische Sport zu Jahresbeginn und auch nur ansatzweise zurückgewonnen hatte. Im Januar 2019 lieferte das Moskauer Doping-Labor endlich die verlangten Proben aus den Jahren 2012 bis 2015 an die Welt-Antidoping-Agentur (Wada). Nun stellte sich heraus: Sie wurden gefälscht.

At the start of the Athletics World Championships, new details about the doping scandal in Russia have come to light, and they destroy even the small degree of credibility that Russian sports had won back at the beginning of the year. In January 2019, the Moscow doping lab finally delivered to the WADA the requested samples from 2012 to 2015. As it now turns out: They were falsified.

At the start of the world athletics championship, new details of the doping scandal in Russia are emerging - and they are destroying what little credibility Russian sport had won back at the start of the year. In January 2019, the Moscow doping laboratory finally delivered the samples demanded from 2012 to 2015 to the world anti-doping agency (WADA). It has now emerged that they were falsified.


Im Dezember 2014 war systematischer Betrug im russischen Sport enthüllt worden. Darauf hatte die Wada die Russische Antidoping-Agentur (Rusada) für drei Jahre gesperrt. Während dieser Zeit waren russische Sportler nicht gänzlich von der Weltbühne verbannt. Das Internationale Olympische Komitee liess nach individueller Prüfung bei den Sommerspielen 2016 in Rio rund 270 Athleten des Landes unter neutraler Flagge antreten, bei den Winterspielen im Februar 2018 waren 168 russische Sportlerinnen und Sportler am Start. Auch bei den Weltcups in den verschiedenen Sportarten durften sie dabei sein, im Sommer fand in Russland gar die Fussball-WM mit dem Gastgeber als Teilnehmer statt.

Positive Findings Lacking
Positive findings missing


Im darauffolgenden September hob die Wada den Rusada-Bann wieder auf, forderte aber den Zugang zum Labor und die besagten Proben ein. Die Daten sollten Aufschluss über den Umfang der Vertuschung von Doping-Fällen beim Staatsdoping geben. Sie sollten helfen, Athletinnen und Athleten nachträglich zu bestrafen. Drei Monate später wurden sie schliesslich geliefert.

In the following September, the WADA lifted the RUSADA ban, but demanded access to the lab and said samples. The data was to provide information on the scope of the coverup of doping cases in the nation. They were to help penalize athletes after the fact. Three months later, they were finally delivered.

The following September saw the WADA lift the RUSADA ban, while demanding access to the laboratory and the aforementioned samples.

Three months later, they were finally delivered.


Der Vorsitzende der unabhängigen Integritätskommission (AIU) des Leichtathletik-Weltverbandes (IAAF) hat nun aber bestätigt, dass die Doping-Daten aus dem Moskauer Analyselabor manipuliert wurden. "Ja. Wir haben die Daten vor neun Monaten erhalten. Wir sollten überprüfen, ob die Task-Force die richtigen Daten erhalten hat", sagte David Howman im Interview der "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung" vom Freitag. "Wir haben zahlreiche Diskrepanzen festgestellt zwischen den Daten, welche die Wada von einem Whistleblower, und denjenigen, welche sie im Januar von den Russen erhalten hat". Viele positive Befunde fehlten, die im McLaren-Report erwähnt worden seien.

The chair of the Independent Integrity Commission (AIU) of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) has now confirmed, however, that the doping data from the Moscow analysis lab were manipulated. "Yes. We received the data nine months ago. We were to check whether the task force obtained the correct data," said David Howman in an interview with the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" on Friday. "We found numerous discrepancies between the data the WADA obtained from a whistleblower and those they had received in January from the Russians." Many positive findings that had been allegedly mentioned in the McLaren Report were lacking.

World Cup Unaffected
World Championships unaffected


Dies bestätigt die Haltung der IAAF: Der Leichtathletik-Verband hält als einzige Organisation am Bann Russlands fest. An der WM in Doha starten 30 russische Sportler unter neutraler Flagge. Sie mussten beweisen, dass sie ausserhalb des russischen Systems trainieren und sich Tests unterziehen.

This was confirmed by the behavior of the IAAF: The Athletics Federation was the only organization to hold onto the ban of Russia. At the World Cup in Doha, 30 Russian athletes competed under a neutral flag. They had to prove that they trained outside the Russian system and undergo testing.

Zu Beginn dieser Woche hatte bereits die Wada Manipulationen in den Raum gestellt und Russland aufgefordert, binnen drei Wochen auf die Vorwürfe zu antworten. Russland droht nun die erneute Sperre der Rusada und im schlimmsten Fall auch der Ausschluss von den Olympischen Spielen 2020 in Tokio.

At the start of that week, the WADA had already raised the question of the manipulations and demanded that Russia answer the charges within three weeks. Russia was now threatened with the renewed block of RUSADA and, in the worst-case scenario, exclusion from the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo as well.
