euronews the network - Could Europe become a federation of regions?
www.euronews.com Scotland, Catalonia and Flanders are among a number of European regions with yearnings for autonomy, if not outright independence. The financial crisis has compounded the tensions with national governments, especially among regions that are net contributors to their national budgets and now want their tax money back. Meanwhile Belgian ex-Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt has co-authored a book with Daniel Cohn-Bendit urging an EU federalism that would weaken the nation state, critics say it is already happening. As the crisis leads to increasing EU authority over budgets and banking, undermining national sovereignty, is it time for a real Europe of regions under a more powerful EU roof? Could this solve those separatist yearnings? Or could it lead to chaos as more regions demand increasing autonomy? Wired into this edition of the Network is; from the European Parliament in Brussels, Christian Wenning, General Secretary of the Union of European Federalists, founded shortly after World War II, it believes in unity and diversity that could overcome Europe's divisions. From Tenerife, Marc Guerrero i Tarragó, in charge of international relations for the nationalist party, Democratic Convergence of Catalonia. He is also Vice President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE). From London, Sony Kapoor, Managing Director of the economic think-tank Re-Define, who sees identity politics as a way to leverage a better deal with national governments ...

UN votes to give Palestine non-member status
www.euronews.com The UN General Assembly has decided to upgrade Palestine from an observer to non-member status. There was joy from many inside the Assembly in New York, especially from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The 193 member states voted overwhelmingly in favour, with 138 in favour, 41 abstentions and nine voting no - the most prominent of which came from Israel and the US. Abbas made a plea before the ballot. Highlighting the recent conflict with Israel in the Gaza Strip, he said: "The agression in Gaza shows that Palestinians need freedom and it shows that Israel uses the politics of agression. The International Community has to search for peace by voting for Palestine to have UN non-member status." Unlike at the Security Council, where the bid for Palestinian full membership was blocked last year, there is no veto in the General Assembly and the two thirds majority vote needed was easily accomplished. Even before voting began, there were already celebrations on the streets of Ramallah. Now Palestinians are more happy about a decision they imagine could bring them a step closer to an independent state. Perhaps it is fitting that the ballot that went in their favour was held on Palestinian Solidarity Day. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

Its company philosophy is simple; it transforms ideas into prototypes. Big factories often are unable to quickly run up a prototype for the electronics in a new device, they are too big and slow.

www.euronews.com Taxing the rich to give to the poor, or at least to reduce the budget deficit. Some say this is the main message behind French president Francois Hollande's fiscal policy. But others warn it will only encourage a new kind of emigration, with the very rich seeking refuge in tax-friendlier countries.

euronews Life - Almaty: Kazakhstan's Garden City
www.euronews.com The city of Almaty lies to the south of Kazakhstan, a stop off point in years gone by on the Silk Road, the great trading route that linked east and west. Trade and economy are still at the heart of Almaty which was once the country's capital. It is the financial centre of central Asia and attracted some six million tourists last year. History, hot summers and a raft of winter sports on tap are among the top attractions. In the hustle and bustle of modern development Almaty has not forgotten long held traditions like the famous steam baths, the Russian Banya. Some like it hot first thing. Bagdat Yermagambedov has been taking the steam for 30 years. "Its a tradition here and everyone likes to start the week with a Banya to gather energy for the rest of the week, but what is a Russian bath without the steam - its not a bath! It's a great pleasure to come here to the steam rooms to re-charge our energy," he explained. The vast Arasan complex was opened in 1982 and has been hailed as the best 'Banya' in central Asia. If a massage is not for you there are many other ways of ending your visit. Some people like to start the day with a good thrashing; birch leaves pummel the skin and its supposed to stimulate the circulation to take the stress out of the day before you have even started. It doesn't so much hurt as it stings. A morning in the Banya is perhaps the perfect preparation for a visit to the busy Green Bazaar. On the Silk Road it is Kazakhstan's biggest ...

euronews reporter - Spanish Banks - house for sale
www.euronews.com When Spain's spectacular building boom went bust, it was the country's banks which were left with much of the debt including 200 billion euro worth of toxic property debt. Today, it's estimated that there are 1.3 million homes for sale in Spain but the demand is only 350 thousand or one fourth of the supply. And a lot of this Spanish property for sale is owned by the banks. This edition of reporter takes a look at how Spanish banks got to this point and whether the EU bailout can save them.

euronews the network - China rising: Will new leadership bring about change?
www.euronews.com As China's Communist Party Congress approaches and with it an expected change of leadership, China-watchers are considering what policies may stand to change. Tensions have risen over trade with the EU, namely over solar panels European producers say Chinese competitors are dumping on the market. China's trade surplus, thanks to the government's control over the value of the currency, has long been a source of friction. China's disputes with neighbours over islands in the region have flamed up again, this time with Japan, raising concerns. Concerns as well over human rights won't go away. Beijing has maintained a hard line toward its dissidents. Questions have risen over the health of presumed new leader-in-waiting Xi Jinping, seen as a pro-reformer aiming to jumpstart a lagging economy on which the world depends to pull out of an economic slump. What should be Europe's relations with China? How much can China be swayed, if at all, on its currency, trade and human rights? Or is Europe powerless in the face of an ever-rising China? Wired into this edition of The Network is, from Berlin, Helmut Scholz, a European Parliament member of the German leftist party Die Linke. He's on the parliament's International Trade Committee. He's been critical of China flooding Europe with cheap goods. "We can't simply say business as usual" with China and other emerging economies, he says. If you have cooperation it has to be in a fair world economy. From here at the ...

euronews right on - The lack of women at the top
Gender equality is now a major goal in most European countries. And there is no doubt there is more public awareness and signs of progress. But as euronews' Seamus Kearney reported: "Some in Brussels argue that not enough is being done in the business world. Some are even threatening quotas across the European Union, to force the boards of large companies to be at least 40 per cent female."

euronews hi-tech - Stable and safe an electric motorbike with car comforts
www.euronews.com A research team from San Francisco has designed a prototype for a gyro-stabilised electric motorcycle. Lit Motors, have blended design elements from a car and a motorcycle to create, what they claim is a safe, comfortable, environmentally friendly and low cost electric vehicle. It has air bags, seat belts, and steel reinforced doors. According to the manufacturer, it really has all the safety benefits of a car but on a two-wheels. Daniel Kim is the founder of Lit Motors: "We use gyroscopes to actually keep the vehicle upright so it makes it un-tippable. You need a baby elephant to knock it over. " Gyroscopes in the vehicle are designed to keep it from tipping over even when involved in a collision. The company says the top speed will be around 193 km an hour. Production of the first one thousand vehicles is expected to begin in 2014 with the price tag set around 19 thousand US dollars. Electric cars are the new rage - environmentally friendly, quiet and cheap to maintain. The big drawback is the price. Saving the environment does not come cheap. Now a Lithuanian businessmen plans to supply the local market with the affordable Electron Twingo by using adapted second-hand Renault Twingos. The 'PB group' company, which sells tyres and repairs cars, has already built two prototypes and is preparing the third one. Donatas Skulskis is from the PB Group in Lithuania: "Modern electric cars are still very expensive; they are almost non-affordable for Lithuanians ...

euronews the network - How will Obama's second term effect Europe?
www.euronews.com It was a hard fought campaign, the most expensive in history and despite President Obama's re-election the country remains deeply divided, with the Republicans still controlling the House of Representatives. Domestically the so called 'fiscal cliff' comes in January. Automatic spending cuts and tax increases if there is no new budget agreement. Those cuts could trigger a recession with a global impact. After all the China bashing during the campaign how will the President appease calls to crack down on China's huge trade surplus without triggering a trade war. In civil war racked Syria is it time to intervene? The same for Iran's nuclear programme that edges ever closer to bomb making potential. In Eastern Europe, what is the future of missile defence? How will he pursue relations with Russia under a new Putin presidency? How will those issue impact Europe? What should be Europe's approach towards Obama's second term? Will there be any honeymoon at all? Wired into this edition of the Network is: Rafal Trzaskowski a Polish MEP who is a member of the delegation for relations with the United states, Mike Kulbickas.

euronews I talk - Europe's climate boss answers I-talk's questions
www.euronews.com Everyone agrees that these days we have to do something about the climate, but what? Connie Hedegaard is the European Commissioner for Climate Action, which cannot be an easy job seeing that different countries on our continent seem to have very different ideas on how to go about things on such important issues such as nuclear energy, for example. *I-talk presenter Alex Taylor:* "Lets go for a first question for Mrs Hedegaard." *"Hello, my name is Cristina Piffer, I'm Italian and in the name of all Italians I'd like to ask you what are the EU's concrete measures to fight global warming and daily pollution. Thank you." * *Alex Taylor:* "I told you basic questions. Quick answer." *Connie Hedegaard:* "I think what Europe can do is to prove to the world that you can have growth but at the same time you can have less energy consumption. We have done that with our cars, we have done that with energy efficiency in our houses, in the way we live our lives. We are actually one of the most energy-efficient economies in the world. So I think that we are setting an example, but we should do even more to continue to set a good example." *Alex Taylor:* "Ok let's go into more details now with another question." *"Hello, my name is Mohamed Agar and I'm from Belgium. I just have a question on carbon dioxide quotas. In just the last few days both China and America have refused to apply them.

euronews science - Where is Europe's oldest town?
www.euronews.com Bulgarian archaeologists led by Professor Vasil Nikolov from the National Archaeology Institute and Museum claim to have discovered Europe's oldest town in the north-east of the country. Professor Vasil Nikolov, who has been studying the area for many years, located the town near the salt pans in the vicinity of Provadia in the Varna region, the same locale as the first salt factory in Europe. Salt production is believed to be the reason behind the location of the town, founded around 6500 years ago. Before the discovery, archaeologists had already demonstrated the existence of the first European salt mines in a region with a rich past proven by the number of graves. What is different here from all the other ancient villages in South-East Europe are the salt springs. The salt water was evaporated by different techniques in ceramic bowls and the salt produced was used as money because it was so essential for humans and animals as well. The production of the salt made the region prosperous. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

euronews science - Cambodia's endangered animals
www.euronews.com Sun bears - the world's smallest species of bear, are at risk of extinction with habitat loss and illegal hunting to blame. Organisation "Free the Bears", 30 kilometres southeast of Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh is hoping to combat this and currently has the world's largest population of sun bears in captivity. The animals are hunted for their fur and bile which are popular in Chinese medicine while their meat and paws are used to make Bear Paw Soup, a delicacy in much of Asia. Experts estimate that sun bears have declined by at least 30 per cent in the past 30 years - their numbers continue to drop. Elephants are also under threat in Cambodia. The Asian elephant population living in the wild in the country has fallen dramatically from about 2000 in 1995 to fewer than 400 today. In the past hunting was the elephant's biggest worry but today habitat destruction is the main threat to their survival. With the human population rising and forested areas shrinking it is likely that wild Asian elephant numbers will continue to decrease in the foreseeable future.

euronews U talk - Is an EU identity card on the cards?
www.euronews.com Question from Mario, Austria: "Hello my name is Mario, I am from Austria and I would like to know whether there are any plans in the near future for a common ID card for all EU citizens. Thank you." Answer by Christophe Chabrot, Senior lecturer in Public Law, University Lyon 2, France: "Well, an ID card is an official document handed out by authorities in a given country, which shows your identity and your nationality. It's sometimes needed for administrative purposes, or even between two people to certify a transaction, such as a check for instance. "In the European Union, free movement and growing trade relations between member states is an incentive for citizens to acquire a document allowing them to prove their identity, in a reliable and simple way, both physically and on the internet. "Plans to create a European ID card were dropped in early 2000 due to technical, administrative and political obstacles. Instead, the experimental project STORK (Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed) was introduced in May 2008. "Relying on volunteer states, the aim of the project is not to create a single ID document, but to integrate common electronic elements into national ID cards which could be used in every partner state, of which there are 18 right now. It's what you call interoperability. "This project was relaunched in June 2012 and extended to companies for administrative purposes. It includes a secure electronic signature in order to authenticate online ...

He says it will look, and taste identical to a regular quarter-pounder. In the laboratory, he has already grown small strips of beef from bovine stem cells, and is now looking at ways to increase production. It is white because there are no blood cells. But researchers hope that once cooked, these cells will look and taste the same as conventionally produced meat.

euronews reporter - UK-EU: should I stay or should I go?
www.euronews.net The age old debate of Britain's place at the heart of Europe is heating up once again. Last month Eurosceptics praised Prime Minister David Cameron for saying NO to France and Germany on a new EU treaty calling for deeper fiscal integration. Yet critics warn he's left Britain increasingly isolated on the European political stage. Today the pressure is on for what many see as inevitable: a referendum on whether the UK wants to stay in or get out of the EU. ------------------------------------------------------
