Doctors Call For Guantanamo Detainee's Release

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 15 Januari 2015 | 23.31

A British resident being held in Guantanamo Bay should be released because of his "fragile medical condition", a group of senior doctors have said.

Shaker Aamer is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and asthma and his continued detention is having an "appalling effect" on his health, according to the medics.

David Cameron is expected to raise Mr Aamer's case with US President Barack Obama during a visit to Washington this week.

In a letter organised by consultant neurologist and human rights activist David Nicholl, health experts - including consultants and professors - said Mr Aamer has "pressing medical concerns".

Mr Aamer, who is originally from Saudi Arabia but moved to south London, where his British wife and family still live, has been held in Guantanamo Bay since 2002.

He is accused of being a close associate of Osama bin Laden - a charge he denies.

US authorities have threatened to send him back to Saudi Arabia despite his British residency.

The letter, written to the Daily Mail, said he had his "first independent medical assessment that revealed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, asthma, oedema and chronic urinary retention".

The doctors called for Mr Aamer to be returned to the UK.

They added: "We would point out that Shaker's ongoing detention without trial is having an appalling effect not just on his health, but those of his family, especially his wife - all of whom are British citizens."

Separately, five Yemenis have been freed from Guantanamo and sent to Estonia and Oman, US officials said.

All five were captured in Pakistan and detained by the US as suspected al Qaeda fighters. US officials later determined it was no longer necessary to detain them but have struggled to find other countries willing to take them in. 

Four of the men went to Oman and one to Estonia, according to a Pentagon statement.

Paris Policewoman Run Over Outside Elysee Palace

A French policewoman has been hurt after a motorist drove at her outside the President's residence in Paris.

According to newspaper reports the car had been driving the wrong way along a one-way system and left the 37-year with wrist, knee and back injuries.

Le Parisien newspaper said four suspects ran away from the car.

Two have been arrested on Rue d'Anjou, while the other two are still on the run. French media said the driver was breathalysed and found to have been over the legal alcohol limit.

Police sources said the incident appeared to be unconnected to last week's attacks in the city, which left 17 people dead plus the three attackers.

The incident came ahead of more funerals for the employees of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo who were killed by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi.

Private family funerals for cartoonists Georges Wolinski, 80, and Bernard "Tignous" Verlhac, 57, were due to take place after they were shot dead by the pair.

The funeral for Franck Brinsolaro, one of the policemen killed, will take place in Sainte-Croix de Bernay, while Elsa Cayat, the only woman killed in the attack, will be buried in Montparnasse.

Millions in France have been rallying in support of free speech after the attacks, although French prosecutors have launched more than 50 cases against people deemed to be condoning or threatening terrorist acts. 

They include one against controversial comedian Dieudonne, who was arrested on Wednesday over a remark suggesting he sympathised with one of the Paris attackers.

A 21-year-old in Toulouse was also sent to prison for 10 months on Monday under France's ultra-fast-track court system, for expressing support for the jihadists.

French President Francois Hollande declared Charlie Hebdo was "alive and will live on" after its new edition sold out in record time.

The Afghan Taliban condemned the publication in France of further cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and lauded last week's attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices.

An English statement from the group said it "strongly condemn this repugnant and inhumane action and consider its perpetrators, those who allowed it and its supporters (to be) the enemies of humanity".

It added that the Kouachi brothers were "bringing the perpetrators of the obscene act to justice".

Ultra-Violent Game Banned In Oz Over Rape Scene

A cult videogame sequel has effectively been banned in Australia because of a scene in which a man strikes a woman then appears to rape her in a pool of blood.

The top-down 2D action game Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number has been refused classification by the country's standards watchdog, which means it cannot go on sale legally.

According to respected gaming website Kotaku, the game's most explicit scene sees the protagonist character burst into a movie set and kill four people.

A female character is then struck, leaving her lying down in pool of blood. The male character then appears to rape her.

The reasons for the Hotline Miami decision have not been revealed, but the Australian Classification Board's guidelines say: "Games that depict ... crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults ... should not be classified."

While the commercial sale of the game is prohibited, owning a copy of the game will not be illegal.

A UK classification and release date is yet to be confirmed.

The first edition of the Hotline Miami series received positive reviews, with game critics praising its "neon-soaked" depiction of 1980s underground Miami.

Other games which have previously been refused classification by the country's board include State of Decay, South Park: Stick of Truth and Saints Row IV.

The latter two were later released after specific content was removed.

Caesars Casino Firm Is $18bn In The Red

A subsidiary of US casino firm Caesars has filed for bankruptcy protection with debts of $18.4bn (£12.1bn).

Caesars Entertainment Operating Company (CEOC), which owns and operates most of Caesars' properties worldwide, said it intended to keep the casino-hotels running, despite the bankruptcy filing in Chicago.

It was reportedly made to stop three creditors trying to push the firm into involuntary bankruptcy. 

The division of Caesars Entertainment Corporation employs 36,000 people at 44 casino-hotels, including the flagship Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.

It had been negotiating with creditors and lenders on a reorganisation plan that would turn the division into a real estate investment trust - one to own properties and the other to lease properties - promising creditors cash or new debt.

Gary Loveman, CEOC's chairman, said: "We believe this restructuring is in the best interests of all of CEOC's stakeholders and will result in a sustainable capital structure for CEOC and value creation for all stakeholders.

"The restructuring of CEOC is the culmination of a years-long effort to improve the health of CEOC's balance sheet, which has included substantial investment in new and upgraded assets, especially in Las Vegas.

"I am very confident in the future prospects of our enterprise, which will combine an improved capital structure with a network of profitable properties." 

There have been a string of casino-hotel closures in Las Vegas and Atlantic City as companies focused investment in the fast-growing markets in Asia amid slowing business in the US and Europe.

Caesars, which has lost money each year for the last five years, slashed its global workforce by 1% last year and closed properties in cities including London.

Sky News was told the UK and other operations outside the US did not come under the terms of the Chapter 11 filing and it would have no effect on day-to-day business.

A spokesman also insisted there were "no plans" for any closures within the group in an attempt to save costs.

Caesars Entertainment UK runs a number of popular entertainment venues, including the Playboy Club in London.

Annual accounts, filed with Companies House, showed the UK business to be loss-making in 2013.

A statement in the directors' report stated: "In light of the trading losses of the company, the directors keep the going concern position of the company under constant review.

"The directors are satisfied the parent company intends to continue to provide funding and working capital to enable the company to continue its operations and meet all its liabilities as and when they fall due."

Spain's Former King Faces Paternity Suit

Spain's Former King Faces Paternity Suit

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

The Supreme Court in Spain has agreed to hear a paternity suit against the former king Juan Carlos in a further embarrassing episode for the royal family.

The 77-year-old was immune from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits while king, but he lost that privilege after he abdicated in June in favour of his son, Felipe VI.

The paternity suit has been filed by a Belgian woman, Ingrid Jeanne Sartiau, who claims to be his daughter.

She says her mother had a relationship with the then crown prince in the 1960s.

Ms Sartiau claims the relationship lasted until 1966, the year she was born.

Boko Haram Attacks: Images Are 'Shocking' Proof

Boko Haram Attacks: Images Are 'Shocking' Proof

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Satellite images of the "catastrophic" attacks on two towns in Nigeria by Boko Haram militants have been released by Amnesty International.

The campaign group says the pictures, taken on 2 and 7 January, provide "indisputable and shocking evidence" of the scale of the assaults on Baga and neighbouring Doron Baga.

It believes hundreds of people were killed and that over 3,700 structures were either damaged or destroyed in the attacks.

Other nearby towns and villages in northeastern Borno state were also targeted by the Islamists between 3 and 7 January.

"These detailed images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days," said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty.

"Of all Boko Haram assaults analysed by Amnesty International, this is the largest and most destructive yet. It represents a deliberate attack on civilians whose homes, clinics and schools are now burnt-out ruins."

Approximately 620 structures were damaged or destroyed by fire in Baga, a densely populated town less than two square kilometres in size.

In Doron Baga, which is also known as Doro Gowon and is around four square kilometres, over 3,100 structures were either damaged or burnt.

Many of the wooden fishing boats along the shoreline, visible in the images taken on the 2 January, are no longer present in the 7 January photos.

This tallies with witnesses' testimony that many terrified residents fled to safety in boats across Lake Chad. 

A man in his fifties told Amnesty: "I saw maybe around 100 killed at that time in Baga. I ran to the bush. As we were running, they were shooting and killing."

Other witnesses described how Boko Haram drove into the bush rounding up women, children and the elderly.

A woman who was detained for four days said: "(They) took around 300 women and kept us in a school in Baga. They released the older women, mothers and most of the children after four days but are still keeping the younger women."

Boko Haram fighters have repeatedly targeted communities for their perceived collaboration with Nigeria's security forces.

Towns that formed state-sponsored militia groups known as the Civilian Joint Task Force (Civilian JTF) have suffered particularly brutal attacks.

Since 2009 Amnesty says thousands of people have been killed, hundreds abducted and hundreds of thousands forced to leave their homes by Boko Haram.

It is calling on Nigeria's security forces to do more to protect civilians and for the group's "war crimes and crimes against humanity" to be "duly investigated".

Foie Gras Row Escalates With Death Threats

By Sky News US Team

Some chefs in California are reporting receiving death threats for serving foie gras after a ban on the delicacy was overturned last week.

Chefs cheered the return of the fatty liver of goose or duck, but the move angered animal rights groups.

The activists say the practice of fattening and force-feeding the geese and ducks for foie gras is cruel and amounts to torture.

One chef in Hermosa Beach told NPR that he had received death threats.

"Apparently there's some people out there, that really, they just, they'll kill me," Sean Chaney, of Hot's Kitchen, told the radio.

"But I can't kill an animal that's raised for this?"

His attorney Michael Tenenbaum was quoted as saying that some "take to the Internet and issue death threats, as we saw today, with somebody threatening to find him, kill him, shove a tube in him. This is craziness."

Mr Chaney and foie gras farmers in Canada and New York had challenged the ban, suing the state of California. Hot's Kitchen saw protests when the ban was overturned on 8 January.

Another chef told the Huffington Post that some have threatened to shove a pipe down his throat.

"But it's the ones who would like to see me hung by my feet and bled to death with no anaesthetic - those are the most disturbing," Ken Frank, who own a restaurant in Napa Valley, told the publication.

Animal rights activists last week displayed photos of bloated ducks and geese with pipes shoved down their throats, and called the ruling misguided, a miscarriage of justice and absurd.

Price Chaos As Swiss Peg To Euro Is Pulled

At first blush, it isn't immediately obvious why anyone in this country should care about the Swiss National Bank abandoning pegging the value of the country's currency to that of the euro.

A little alpine country decides to let its currency rise - so what?

It does matter, though. For a start, look at the foreign exchange markets today. The Swiss franc has rocketed in value by some 30% against the euro.

As London is the world's biggest foreign exchange market, there will be many happy traders around the City and Canary Wharf.

A rise of this magnitude means lots of business for them.

On the downside, anyone about to go on a skiing holiday in Switzerland will find their gluhwein and raclette costing substantially more than this time on Wednesday. The 'Swissie', as traders call it, has also risen against sterling.

But there are other deeper and more profound reasons why we should care.

This is the Swiss National Bank signalling, as clearly as it can, that it is braced for full-blown quantitative easing from the European Central Bank.

The ECB will shortly spend hundreds of billions on an attempt to boost demand in the eurozone, pushing the value of the single currency sharply lower in the process. If you were the SNB, you would not want to be standing in the way of that.

Central banks that try to buck the market generally come off worse, as the Bank of England and Norman Lamont, the then Chancellor, discovered on 16 September 1992 when speculators like George Soros helped blow sterling out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

Full-blown QE in the eurozone will have huge knock-on effects for Britain. If it helps boost activity in the Eurozone, Britain's biggest trading partner, it should boost UK economic growth.

On the other hand, it will probably send the euro lower against sterling - good news for British tourists visiting the euro area this summer, but not so good for British exporters trying to sell goods and services into the eurozone.

The impact will also be felt in other ways. In eastern Europe, for example, many people in countries like Poland and the Czech Republic have mortgages denominated in Swiss francs.

Plenty may now find their mortgages have become unaffordable. Watch out for the impact in Hungary, in particular, where Victor Orban, the country's hard-right prime minister, has previously exploited unhappiness among homeowners.

This move will also wound many Swiss companies. The task of industrial giants like Sulzer, Landis + Gyr, Swatch and ABB has now become harder as they contend with a pricier currency.

On the whole, though, this is good news. The SNB's policy had created all kinds of bubbles in assets like Swiss housing.

Far better to let markets allocate capital for themselves than try to do it for them. Who knows, some of the capital freed by this move may even now find its way over to Britain.

Paris Arms Dealing Arrest As Funerals Held

Paris Arms Dealing Arrest As Funerals Held

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Belgian authorities have arrested a man suspected of supplying the gunmen who killed 17 people in Paris, as funerals for the victims of the attacks continued.

Police in Charleroi are holding the man on suspicion of arms dealing after he handed himself in to police in the city on Tuesday.

He told officers he had been in touch with Amedy Coulibaly, the militant who took hostages in a Jewish supermarket in the French capital and was later killed by security forces.

According to the reports, the man said he had conned Coulibaly in a car sale.

But police later found evidence the pair were negotiating the sale of bullets for a 7.62mm caliber firearm - the type needed for the Tokarev pistol Coulibaly used in his attack on the supermarket in Paris that left four hostages dead.

A spokesman for Belgium's federal prosecution said: "The man is being held by the judge in Charleroi on suspicion of arms dealing.
