Constant threat?
I know that when there are some economic problems once, they can stay here longer than ever expect. And if we are talking about global economic crisis, then there is nothing more to say. It hangs on us like grim death. We cannot do anything to get rid of it and all our efforts are even getting us deeper and deeper into these financial troubles. When FED tangled into these problems with a big resolution to help, it looked like a good step or at least a little help. But after few days all that optimistic views were gone. FED has for exampled offered short-term cash loans and also has bought up mounds of short-term debt used for day-by-day expenses of companies such as payrolls or supplies, but as it is showing today, these steps were not so lucky. And today we are where we used to be before – in the same trouble.

Certainly the war between Russia and Georgia is one desired by politicians, rather by the people, because lives are being wasted and the politicians quarrel like two old maids. Russia is the more silent adversary as the West launched a wave of criticism, while Georgia backed by US is creating a lot of noise. Up to now there was only one attempt in putting an end to hostilities and that was mediated by the French. Yet, two days after accepting the cease fire, the violence continues.

Chris Cantell Discusses World News: Hlava OSN v zničenom Mjanmarsku<br><small> by Zuzana Zelenakova</small>
Pred pár týždňami sa Mjanmarsko, bývalá Barma, v juhovýchodnej Ázii, stalo svedkom ničivej prírodnej katastrofy, ktorá zdevastovala prevažne južnú časť krajiny. V piatok večer, 2. mája, sa s ničivou silou celou oblasťou prehnal cyklón Nargis a napáchal škodu hlavne v delte rieky Iravádí a v Yangone, čo je najväčšie mesto v krajine a takisto bývale hlavné mesto Barmy. Podľa záznamov sila vetra dosahovala okolo 75 km/h, no väčšinu mŕtvych má na svedomí obrovská prílivová vlna, ktorú cyklón vyvolal. Je hlásených približne 78 000 mŕtvych a ďalších 56 000 ľudí je nezvestných.

Letzte Woche suchte ein wirklich furchtbares Erdbeben China heim. Die Folgen sind verheerend. Mehr als 40 000 Menschen sind tot, weitere 10 000 werden laut Erwartungen noch folgen, mehr als 32 000 sind vermisst und mehr als 5 Millionen Überlebende sind obdachlos geblieben. Für diese Menschen muss das mit Sicherheit sehr schwer sein. Während einiger Minuten verloren sie alles, was sie sich jahrelang aufgebaut haben, all ihre Freunde und Familie.
