European Proposal to Ban American Lobsters to Move Forward

Associated Press via voanews.com
September 6, 2016

PORTLAND, MAINE - An arm of the European Union says there's
enough scientific evidence to move forward with a review of
Sweden's request to declare the American lobster an invasive
species.

The opinion of the European Union's Scientific Forum on Invasive
Alien Species announced Tuesday sets in motion a broader review
of the proposal to ban American lobsters.

Lobstermen in the U.S and Canada stand to lose $200 million in
business with EU countries if the ban becomes a reality. They
contend a ban is not supported by science.

Sweden set the wheels in motion when it announced it had found 32
American lobsters in the country's waters earlier this year and
that they pose a threat to native crustaceans.

The expanded review won't be completed until the spring, at the
earliest.

Ailing Korean Shipper Hanjin Moves to Resolve Cargo Chaos

Associated Press via voanews.com
September 5, 2016

SEOUL - Moving to unsnarl the chaos in its container cargo after
it filed for bankruptcy protection, Hanjin Shipping Co. will seek
stay orders in dozens of countries, the Financial Services
Commission said Monday.

Hanjin, South Korea's largest ocean container shipper, will seek
bankruptcy protection in 43 countries, including Canada, Germany
and Britain, and the government said it would urge those
countries to expedite the process.

Hanjin filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. and South Korea last
week.

A company spokeswoman, Park Eun-hye, confirmed Hanjin was moving
to protect its assets but refused to specify in how many
countries, beyond the U.S. and South Korea.

The intent is to minimize seizures of Hanjin Shipping's vessels
in foreign countries, the South Korean government said in a
statement jointly released by several ministries, including the
FSC. Hanjin said last week that one ship had been seized in
Singapore.

South Korea hopes to salvage its ailing container shipping
sector, which like ocean shipping worldwide has been battered by
weak demand and overcapacity. But it is reluctant to commit huge
sums of taxpayers' money, and hopes to orchestrate a takeover by
Hanjin's smaller rival, Hyundai Merchant Marine, which is already
being restructured.

The moves would protect Hanjin's assets from being seized by
creditors while South Korea arranges to have Hyundai Merchant
Marine, take over Hanjin's key assets, including its vessels,
workforce and networks.

With its assets frozen, Hanjin's ships are being refused
permission to offload or take on containers at ports worldwide,
out of concern tugboat pilots or stevedores may not be paid. Out
of 141 vessels the company operates, 68 were not operating
normally, were stranded or seized, as of Sunday.

The South Korean giant represents nearly 8 percent of the
trans-Pacific trade volume for the U.S. market, and with Hanjin's
container ships marooned offshore, major retailers were
scrambling to work out contingency plans to get their merchandise
into stores.

The world's seventh largest ocean shipper, Hanjin Shipping is
part of the Seoul-based Hanjin Group, a huge, family-dominated
conglomerate, or chaebol, that also includes Korean Air.

Russian River Runs Red, Prompting Regulators To Open
Investigation

By RFE/RL
September 07, 2016

Environmental regulators say they have ordered an investigation
into why a river in far northern Russia turned an alarming hue of
red in recent days.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology said in a statement
on September 6 that residents in districts near the industrial
city of Norilsk had lodged formal complaints about the apparent
pollution that fouled the Daldykan River.

"According to preliminary information, the possible reason for
the river pollution may be a rupture in a slurry pipeline at a
Norilsk Nickel plant," the ministry statement said.

Photos that circulated on Russian social media showed sections of
the river that more resembled a stop light or a firetruck.

Norilsk Nickel, which is the world's largest producer of nickel
and other major industrial metals, said it had seen the images
but said there was no evidence of any leak.

The Norilsk region is one of the most polluted areas in the
world. The country's statistics service classified the region as
Russia's most polluted in 2010.

Berlin Backs Broadcaster After Turkey Confiscates Deutsche Welle
Video

By RFE/RL
September 7, 2016

Germany's government has defended state-funded broadcaster
Deutsche Welle, after Turkish authorities confiscated video
footage of its interview with the country's youth and sports
minister.

Deutsche Welle said on September 6 that ministry employees seized
the footage after a spokesman for the minister, Akif Kilic, said
the international news outlet wouldn't be allowed to air the
interview dealing with the failed July 15 coup and its aftermath.

Deutsche Welle Director-General Peter Limbourg called it "an act
of the Turkish regime's coercion," adding that Turkey "no longer
follows the rule of law and has nothing to do with democracy."

Limbourg said a minister can't agree to an interview and then try
to stop it from being aired "just because he did not like the
questions posed."

The broadcaster said Conflict Zone host Michel Friedman asked
Kilic about the aborted coup and the mass layoffs and arrests
that followed it. The interview also covered the position of
women in Turkish society and the media situation in the country.

In addition, Kilic was asked to explain statements Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had previously made about these
issues.

The parabolic antenna (Type RA-28, diameter 10m) was put into operation in autumn 1988. It served to FuAR-2 ("FunkAufklärungsRegiment-2, located in Dessau) respectively ZFD (Zentraler FunkDienst der NVA)

for the elucidation of satellite links by NATO such as connections over the FLTSATCOM (Fleet Satellite Communications System) and SDS (Satellite Data System, system of United States military communications satellites).
After reunification and handover of the property the antenna remained on the premises. Since 1998 it was rented from a Ham Radio Club (DARC Ortsverband W 22 Dessau)

These radio amateurs uses this antenna for wireless connections via EME (Earth-Moon-Earth). Antennas of the same design are located in Biesenthal. There was the satellite spying center of the STASI.
