Ode Bilt, makar na neko vreme. No, zilav je on i mislim da ce se nekad vratiti. Jos je pokojni Palme stigao da spazi tada mladjanog Bilta i navodno ga nije voleo jer ga je po energiji podsecao na samoga sebe, samo sto je bio u suprotnom taboru (a istina, obojica su vrlo netipicni Svedjani). Kakogod, bice socdem manjinska vlada, bez prostora da uradi bogzna sta jer desnica zapravo ima vise glasova i samo odbijanje desnog centra da ulazi u dilove sa ekstremnom desnicom dovodi socijaldemokrate na vlast. Ne bih se cudio da ekstremna desnica ide i na 20% na sledecim izborima.

UN Human Rights Council backs Argentina on US debt row

The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a resolution in Geneva condemning a group of American hedge funds that took Argentina to court.

The investors are demanding payments worth more than $1.3bn (£766m) dollars on government bonds they hold.

Argentina defaulted on its debts in July after refusing to comply with a US court ruling in favour of the funds.

It is searching for ways of meeting its obligations to its other creditors without paying the hedge funds in full.

The Argentine government has accused the hedge funds, which it refers to as vulture funds, of being greedy and damaging its economy.

"The vulture funds will not stop unless we stop them ourselves," Foreign Minister Hector Timerman told the council before the vote.

"The billions that these vulture funds grab in countries in the south lead to school closures, hospitals without medicines, political instability, insecurity and violence," he said.

The resolution was tabled by Argentina along with Russia, Brazil, Venezuela and Algeria.

It was approved by 33 votes to five, with nine countries abstaining.

The United States, Britain, Germany, Japan and the Czech Republic voted against.

'Higher borrowing costs'

The resolution "condemns the activities of vulture funds" and says it regrets the effect the debt payment to such funds could have "on the capacity of governments to fulfil their human rights obligations".

The American representative at the council, Keith Harper, said the text was unacceptable.

"The state's responsibility for promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms is not contingent on its sovereign debt situation," he said.

The uncertainty could "drive up borrowing costs or even choke off financing for developing countries," added Mr Harper.

The investors - led by hedge funds NML and Aurelius Capital Management - bought Argentine government bonds at a big discount after Argentina's 2001 default.

They rejected the terms of a restructuring agreed by most bondholders in 2005 and 2010 which saw two-thirds of the bonds' pre-crisis value written off.

The hedge funds are instead demanding a full 100% repayment of the debt.

Argentina fell into default again in July after US District Judge Thomas Griesa barred the Bank of New York Mellon from transferring an interest payment to bondholders unless Argentina settled with the hedge funds.

jedno pitanje za gandalffa i poznavaoce iranskih prilika:

 

jel ovo realno?

 

prva pomisao mi je da su ovo deca iranske emigracije ali opet, negde je radio geotagging. 

 

msm do pre 5 godina gledali smo kataloge dozvoljenih frizura, a sad gledamo ove omladince? opet geotagging pokazuje da je zaista reč o iranu.

 

ili sve ima veze sa rich prefiksom?

Dilma moze da slavi, i pored drugog kruga.

Zajednicki poduhvat kako sjebati Marinu urodio plodom.

 

 

Brazilian incumbent Dilma Roussef has won most votes in the country's presidential election but fell short of outright victory, exit polls suggest.

They indicate she got 44% of votes and will face a run-off against centrist Aecio Neves, who is credited with 30%.

Brazil's voting system is all electronic and is likely to deliver official results shortly.

More than 142 million people took part in the polls, following a dramatic election campaign.

Može da slavi, ali zasad u svoja 4 zida^tm. Ako Marinini u većini podrže Nevesa u drugom krugu, eto Dilmi problema...

 

Btw, Romario (da, da, taj Romario) postao senator Ria...

Zapravo ako 2/3 Marininih podrze Nevesa, to ce se desiti.

No, posto Marina ima siri appeal, bila deo PT u vreme Lule i tako to, tesko da se to desi.

Marina bi imala vise sanse u drugom krugu.

Prisustvujemo necemu sto se ne desava cesto. Posle vise vekova zapadne zemlje vise nisu najvece ekonomije sveta(SAD posle skoro 150 godina). Upravo je potvrdio MMF.

dodatak:IMF: Chinese Economy Surpasses U.S.

 

MoneySupply: The new world economy in four charts

 

Now it is official. In 2014, the International Monetary Fund estimates the size of the US economy was $17.4tr and the size of China’s economy was $17.6tr as in the chart below.

 

The speed of this transformation is shown in the next chart. As recently as 2005, China’s economy was less than half the size of the US. By 2019, the International Monetary Fund expects it to be 20 per cent bigger.

 

The China phenomenon is part of a wider expansion of emerging markets’ output relative to the advanced world. They accounted for more than 50 per cent of global output in 2007 and are roaring ahead, now accounting for 57 per cent, despite the fund being disappointed with their growth performance since 2011.

Kratak izvestaj iz RSA, dugo nije bilo protesta pa nije bilo tako zanimljivo.

 

Opoziciona DA je dosla do snimaka razgovora prezidenteovih ljudi i tadasnjeg tuzioca zaduzenog za pokretanje postupka protiv Zume zbog korupcije (koji su naravno odbaceni)

 

Novi javni tuzioc, niposto poput starog, je rekao da ce se pozabaviti kriminalcima koji su dostavili snimke DA

 

I jedna skorasnja vest, RSA je potpisala sa Rusijom ugovor vredan 10 milijardi dolara za izgradnju nove nuklearke. Bez ikakvog tendera ili konsultacije javnosti. Manjak struje je sve veci i veci problem u RSA.

IRAN Rich kids of Iran: Group flaunts wealth, hypocrisy in cash-strapped Islamic republic

By Hava Pasha

The social media campaign wouldn't raise eyebrows in a western country, but "Rich kids of Iran" is causing a stir in the Islamic Republic. (Instagram)

Hot girls, fast cars, huge homes and a life of luxury – that’s present-day Iran for a new group of young friends who are taking social media by storm while also underscoring a class-based hypocrisy inside the Islamic Republic.

The Rich Kids of Tehran as they call themselves, began with a sole account on Instagram last month and grew steadily to Facebook and Twitter, gaining attention with three specific hashtags unusually paired together -- #lavish #lifestyle and of course, #Iran -- that helped them to establish more than 70,000 followers and growing. The photos posted would be normal coming from any Western or secular country in the world: girls in bikinis, young men bare-chested posing poolside, groups of girls in their tightest Friday-night-best, high-end cars parked seductively in an upscale neighborhood. But from a place like Iran, where women are forced to wear head-to-knee covering in public and co-mingling with the opposite sex is strictly forbidden, it's a behind-the-scenes look at life in Tehran that some have heard tales about, but most people have never seen.

"You can't show the world that Iran is rich cuz it isn't."

- Comment on rival site, Poor kids of Iran

According to the individual who manages the group's official Instagram account, the Rich Kids of Tehran are "a group of kids in their 20s who like nice cars and own Porsches, Land Rovers, etc." whose objective in creating the Instagram account is "to show the world what they don't see on newspapers and TV... To show the world the good side of Iran-Tehran, which I think everybody should see before they judge us."

If the Rich Kids of Tehran sound a bit defensive, it's because not everyone in the public sphere has taken kindly to the tone or subject matter featured in their accounts. Some commenters have reprimanded the account's creators for what they perceive as the narcissistic flashiness of spoiled children. One Iranian viewer in Tehran was so outraged at the group's Facebook page that he decided to counter their social media sweep by creating a Poor Kids of Iran Facebook page, where he posts pictures and comments on what he calls the "real" Iran.

"I'm just disagreeing and contradicting with that stupid page," he wrote. "That page is just to show off cuz we all know how poor Iranian people are getting every day! With those sanctions .. those rich kids are all high-born people or people who are stealing our oil money and our people's money.

"I don't have any hopes for that stupid page cuz they're just trying to get famous through their mullah parents' money!" he continued. "They have no other purpose. You can't show the world that Iran is rich cuz it isn't."

The campaign has sparked an alternate version, "Poor kids of Iran," which some say shows a more realistic version of the sanction-ravaged nation. (Instagram)

 

Poor Kids of Iran stressed that despite international perceptions, conspicuous wealth is a common sight around Tehran. But the site noted that only those with political connections at high levels of the Islamic regime can get away with it.

"I've seen lots of these kids .. You can see them everywhere and recognize them by looking at their cars. Boys obviously flaunt cuz they will get more girls .. rich girls are less showy . They save the posture for Instagram.... Everyone knows that U can't have fun and party in Iran unless ur dad is supporting u through government or somewhere .. u will be executed for drinking in Iran after three times! They party and drink all the time and never get caught! Of course they are politically supported."

Ardalan Khalafi, an Iranian-American undergraduate student at New York University and member of the university's Persian Cultural Society, is another viewer who finds the account portraying lavish lifestyles to be distasteful.

Many in the west would be surprised at the notion of Ferraris tooling through the streets of Tehran. (Instagram)

 

"At first I was shocked because I thought maybe the page was a joke -- with the purpose of it to be shocking. You know, people just flashing their wealth, the typical of upper echelon of society. But it's kind of disappointing because it's a huge misrepresentation of Persian culture I think, whose key virtues are humility, depth toward character, and this page seems to be very shallow and almost arrogant."

Critics of the social media campaign note that sanctions against Iran are the heaviest that the international community has ever imposed on any country. Since 2011, the punitive financial restrictions have shrunk the nation's annual gross domestic product by an estimated 25 percent. That, combined with a 60 percent decline in oil revenue from 2011 to 2013 and an estimated inflation rate of 70 percent, raises questions about how anyone could afford the life of luxury of which the young adults boast.

In addition to shining a light on economic disparity within Iran, the ostentatious display would also seem to violate the Islamic republic's strict religious rules. When asked if they were worried about getting caught by the Iranian government for displaying photos which appear to document actions frowned upon inside the theocracy, Rich Kids of Tehran had no comment. Nor did they admit any attempt at challenging or intention to change the status quo in Iran.

"We are in no way political," the Instagram site's administrator replied via email. "We are just showing how beautiful Tehran and people from Tehran are. Especially with all the bad press in Middle East currently. We want the world to see Tehran is nothing like that."
