Murderers of reformed Denmark gangster get life imprisonment

By 1149 0

The youngsters, who shot a reformed gangster, Nedim Yasar, has been awarded a tough punishment of life imprisonment by a court based in the Denmark city of Copenhagen.

He was murdered shortly after he had published a book exposing his unpleasant life as a gangster.

That murder attempt was not the first one. Prior to that, he had suffered several murder attempts.

Interestingly, still it remains unknown why the youngsters attacked and murdered the reformed gangster.

During his last days, Mr. Yasar was a social worker. He was working for the betterment of children. He campaigned actively among children to let them understand the relevance of education. He was very sure that children of this generation should not suffer what he had suffered during his childhood days.

Mr. Yasar was a Turkish by origin. He was only three year old when he reached the European country of Denmark.

During his teenage days, he emerged as a dreaded gangster in his city. He had maintained his criminal status until he came to know that he was to become a father.

It is important to expose why this man was murdered. It is unfortunate that the prosecution has blindly accepted the statement made by the culprits that they could not recollect what happened during the night in which the murder of the reformed gangster happened.

Across the globe, as many as 80,000 people have been affected due to the outbreak, which originated in China. China is the worst affected region.

The outbreak has already impacted the global economy negatively. Several global financial organisations and multilateral groupings have warned against the possible economic slowdown.

Meanwhile, indicating that what the world has witnessed so far is just the beginning, the World Health Organisation has urged the world to do more to prepare for a possible pandemic.

Compared to the Asia and Africa, the developed Europe is less vulnerable to the deadly outbreak. Still, the continent has many things to worry about – especially at the time the globalised world is heavily connected with each other.

The writer’s approach is exceptional and is worth commendable.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

By 1016 0

A popular Croatian singer, Josipa Lisac, has been booked as she has presented a distorted version of her country’s national anthem.

The case has been registered in response to a complaint registered by a Croatian lawyer, who has found the distortion of his country’ national anthem by the singer as offensive.

The highly experienced singer, who has more than 53 years experience in the field of music, was the main performer in the latest inaugural function organised to induct the new President.

It is suspected that the case is a politically motivated one.

A singers’ organisation has strongly supported veteran singer Ms. Josipa. It has called the case the questionable intrusion into the freedom of artists.

Many have come forward to support the singer. Almost all social media platforms have been flooded with messages supporting the artist.

Many do not by the argument that the singer has intentionally disrespected the national anthem of her country with her song.

It is a classic case to prove how vulnerable the freedom of artists is in the developed continent of Europe.

It is high time to organise to make sure that the freedom of artists is not scarified at the altar of the new normal of aggressive nationalism.

The Ukraine government has convened an urgent meeting to evaluate the situation. The government may adopt from strong measures to bring the situation under its control.

Meanwhile, the Russian backed rebels have dismissed the allegation that they have consciously carried out a provocative attack against the Ukraine government defaming the deal they earlier reached with the government.

As per the opinion of the rebel force, the Ukraine force has stepped into a minefield established by the rebel force.

The situation is at present under control.

Whether the situation will escalate or not depends on what decision the government takes in this matter.

Russia has not yet responded about the issue. Since the inception of the new President in Ukraine, Russia is in a good relation with its neighbour.

Far-rightist gains momentum in East Germany

By 1090 0

Far-rightist groups have emerged powerful in certain regions in East Germany, which was once the stronghold of leftism.

East Germany was formerly a leftist controlled region. Post the Second World War, it fell under the influence of the USSR, which was then the apostle of global socialism.

The emergence of far-rightist in the east is not less than a surprise. It is actually a new phenomenon.

Prior to the fall of Berlin wall – the wall which separated the leftist controlled East Germany from the liberalist controlled West Germany, it was not even a distance possibility.

Sadly, what is witnessed at this point of time is a dangerous phenomenon. Lately, far-right groups have organised several attacks in the country.

Recently, around twelve members of a far rightist organisation have been booked by the German police as their involvement in several political crimes in the name of far-right has been identified.

As per a police report, they had intention to attack asylum seekers, religious centers and politicians.

The Germany government has stepped up their ante against the far-right. It has recently launched several operations to contain the activities of far-right in the country – especially in the eastern region of the country.

Leaked video spoils Macron’s best man’s political career

By 1333 0

A leaked video has spoiled the political career of Benjamin Griveaux, who is considered as a close ally of French President Emanuel Macron.

He was the candidate of Macron’s party for the Paris mayor election. He was one of the top three hopefuls.

Mr. Griveaux has expressed his sadness about the leakage of the video.

Interestingly, highlighting the importance of the separation of politics from personal life, many French politicians have supported the tainted politician. They have unanimously appealed against the Americanisation of the French politics.

The French politics is different from the American one. It favours the separation of politics from personal life, unlike the United States.

Anyway, the development is a major blow to Mr. Macron. The French President’s party has suffered several backlashes recently, from the reduction of its strength in the parliament to the losses it has faced in the recent elections.

Though these blows are not strong enough to disturb the continuation of Mr. Macron as the President of the country immediately, it may impact his position in the long run.

Meanwhile, there is a different side also. The ruling party, if work rightly, can utilise the emotion, generated against the Americanisation of the French politics, in its favour to gain a political mileage from the development.
