The first arrest is 42 and was imprisoned from 1996 to 2005 for rape. The prosecution of Mexico DF has not confirmed but versions circulating around a marked by the systematic flow of leaks instruction states that two of the victims were raped: a Mexican 18 call Yesenia Quiroz and a Colombian of 31, Mile Virginia Martin, roommates of a third victim, Nadia Vera, 32, friend and companion Espinosa activism in Xalapa (Veracruz).

The breaking of a dam buried a village in Brazil

The dam failure in a mine has been buried under the mud a small town of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. The avalanche, so violent that it has reached a city 70 kilometers, flooded homes and swept away cars and trucks passing through the mining town of Bento Rodrigues, belonging to the city of Mariana.

Firefighters in Minas Gerais confirmed Friday that two people died and 13 are still missing, although the day before the first information amounted to 15 fatalities and spoke of at least 40 missing. Emergency services have rescued 500 survivors.

Two retaining walls of a huge waste tank mine exploded Bento Rodrigues around four p.m. (local time) on Thursday for unknown causes. The company that owns the mine, Samarco (a joint subsidiary of Brazilian mining company Vale and Australian BHP) says that the dumping is made, for the most part sand, and does not contain chemicals that pose a risk to health.

Still, the residents have to go through a "decontamination process" washing with soap and water. Firefighters have rescued four wounded (a man, a woman and two children) and look for more survivors circling the area with three helicopters.

The prosecutor Carlos Eduardo Ferreira Pinto, head of a team of prosecutors of Minas Gerais moved to the place, said it is "premature" to draw conclusions at this time, but said that "a barrier is not broken by chance."

The company that manages the mine said that the dam passed an inspection in July this year and it was totally segura.Samanco also assured potential is making "every effort" to assist those affected and to mitigate the environmental damage. The City asks that anyone except the rescuers, approach to the scene. According to Secretary of Social Defense of the town of Mariana, Brás Azevedo, the situation is "extremely serious" and there are still risks of collapse in the area.

The deposit of waste industrial complex is known as Barragem Fundão, and is 25 kilometers from the town of Mariana (54,000 inhabitants), one of the historic cities of Minas Gerais located about 100 kilometers from Belo Horizonte, the regional capital. The Bento Rodrigues district, which has almost disappeared under the mud, had about 200 houses and 600 inhabitants, according to 2012 data.

The City Council has set up a school and a sports center to accommodate the dozens of neighbors who have been left homeless. Those affected have received numerous donations of mattresses and warm clothing, for what authorities call for financial aid, drinking water, toothbrushes and bath towels are prioritized.

From May to September there have been 9,987 fires and attempts, of which only 2,934 have passed a hectare less than 70%. The State Committee for the Coordination of Wildfire, the Ministry of the Interior, met on Tuesday morning and has determined that this "positive balance implies more effective extinction," because it means that fires "are suffocated in the beginning".

Across the country there have been up to 14 large fires that have affected more than 500 hectares. Thus, 55% of the burnt area corresponds to these large alerts. The most serious events have been located in Quesada (Jaen), Acebo (Cáceres) and Luna (Zaragoza).

The balance of this year yields two fatalities among the victims of the fires. Security forces and means of fighting have had to make 33 preventive evacuations.


 The State Committee on Coordination, which have been made public these data, was chaired by the Director General of Civil Defense and Emergencies of the Ministry of the Interior, Juan Diaz Cruz, who underlined "the coordinated work of all those involved [in referring to the security forces and fire] with a fluid exchange of information and the significant increase in the activities of the state media for extinguishing fires in support of the autonomous communities.

The Defense Minister Pedro Morenés, announced Thursday night that the families magistrate judge had certified after divers inspected the cabin located on Wednesday 40 meters deep, the three bodies are inside the apparatus.

After meeting at the air base of Gando (Gran Canaria) with the relatives of Captain Jose Morales Rodriguez, Saul Lopez Quesada Lieutenant and Sergeant Jhonander Ojeda, Morenés has appeared before the media to make a brief statement without questions. 

The minister explained that the magistrate judge military 52nd, case manager and found aboard the Maritime Action Ship (BAM) Ray, he informed the 19.07 (local time) that had certified the presence of three bodies inside cab, after this was inspected by divers.

The Constitutional allows forest officials to enter private farms

The Constitutional Court has overturned a ban on forest access mountains agents or privately owned forest land without prior judicial authorization, except in case of fire. The state attorney argued that limiting step, approved by the Government of Esperanza Aguirre (PP) in July 2007 against the government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero (PSOE) filed an appeal three months later, was unconstitutional to understand that the contested legislation was "restrictive and unjustified".

The judgment, which has had access COUNTRY, upheld the appeal of the socialist government, because the Madrid contradicted the basic state regulations governing the powers of the forest police. The regional law limited "powers of entry or access to the mountains of the forest officials [in Madrid] against which state law recognizes." This has to have free access to places that need "for the proper performance of their duties", with the only limitation of respect for the inviolability of the home.

Sector forest officials argued against the law, including within the Emergency Law and Modernization of Government Administration of the Community. They warned that its implementation would prevent them intervene immediately to detect irregularities on private land, favoring the landowners acted with impunity.

The amendment to the law also hinder the work of agents in the prevention of fires. For example, if you know a barbecue burning in a private mountain could not act immediately. The Minister of Environment in 2007, Cristina Narbona, questioned the change in the regional legislation "violating a state standard" and be "a serious threat to the public interest". "It is a mockery of parliamentary institutions" settled Narbonne.

"The requirement of prior judicial authorization to enter the regional rules means more garantismo apparent that neither the Constitution nor the law require; in practice, slows down and hinders the work to be performed by forest officials, hindering or making impossible the performance of their tasks of prevention, surveillance and environmental protection, "reads the letter of the Constitution, on 22 October. He concludes that Madrid "has no jurisdiction to regulate a new course entry clearance, unforeseen or regulated by state law."

The legal basis for the judgment state that Madrid "goes beyond mere respect" the inviolability of the home that includes the Constitution. He emphasizes that "harms the general interest" ecosystem conservation as it restricts "unjustifiably" the powers of agents "to effectively exercise their powers."

Found the cabin of the helicopter that crashed into the Atlantic

It was one of two minesweepers, (the Turia and Segura) equipped with sonar side scan, which joined on Tuesday by the search engine, which has located the helicopter cabin on the seabed and which tube missing. Although not well informed of their location, the sources indicated he was not far from the spot where it sank: 280 miles from the air base Gando (Gran Canaria) and 40 of Dakhla, the former Villa Cisneros.

The territorial military magistrate judge number 52 of Las Palmas, on board the seagoing action (BAM) Ray has called for the 13.41 (local time) to Defence Minister Peter Morenés, to say that had lifted a gag to that could inform the families of the discovery of the cabin 802º helicopter squadron.

Lack of accident tends to go through the misuse of flight insurance and for several reason that could incriminate the elicontero condoctor the tube in which the accident.

Six days after it crashes off the coast of Western Sahara, Wednesday Defense has located the Super Puma helicopter cabin of the Air Force. However, due to the poor condition of the sea, divers have been unable to reach the device, so tonight could not confirm if, as feared, the bodies of three crew members Captain Jose Morales Rodriguez, Saul Lopez Quesada Lieutenant and Sergeant Ojeda German Jhonander are inside.

l minister, who had already met in the morning with the families of the three missing soldiers, returned to summon and has been met with them much of the afternoon waiting for news.


In the dissemination of information that they assumed that the bodies of the three soldiers were among the wreckage, Morenés again contacted the 16.37 with the judge, who said he had "no record of such extreme" and he promised to submit any news so he could immediately inform families, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Defense.

A spokesman for the department explained that, due to bad sea conditions, the divers were unable Wednesday to lower the cabin, so that could not be confirmed nor deny whether the crew are inside. Is expected early this Thursday, if conditions permit, resume rescue and divers prepare to hoist the device to the surface, what will be done "with all the necessary precautions," said Defense. As the days have passed without news of the three soldiers, have been fading hopes of finding them alive, unless they had been abducted, as some relatives Morenés never suggested and discarded, though not consider the hypothesis "more plausible. "

The risk of death doubles with cars more than 10 years

There is no doubt that over time causes deterioration of beings, whether animated or not. And that, by pure logic, a used vehicle, especially if it is older, offers less security than a new one. It seems, in principle, according to the latest study on the relationship between aging cars and accidents made by the Hotline Foundation.

 which, among other things, they show that the risk of death doubles in accidents involving older vehicles and that there were 30% more deaths in car accidents over 10 years in 2013 in claims that new vehicles.

However, in the field of security is more important car maintenance to the old you. "When it comes to avoid an accident, is more relevant vehicle maintenance if it's a new car," says the director of the foundation, Francisco Valencia. "An old car tires and dampers in good condition doubles the performance in braking and dodge obstacles that new one poorly maintained".

The study also shows that since the beginning of the crisis, the injury accidents cars featuring more than 15 years have increased over 78% compared to that recorded notable decline cars less than four years, a decrease of 43%.

Other findings provided by the analysis of more than 500,000 injury accidents recorded by the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) between 2008 and 2013 and more than 2.2 million roadside assistance made by the insurer Direct Line in the same period, is that in 40% of cases the displacement was for leisure and 54% of those responsible acknowledges having committed any infringement and, "being distracted driving" the most common.

The profile of injured Vintage car appears very clear in the study and is a "young man, between 18 and 25 years, and no professional driver." Also, 60% of injury accidents in this type of vehicle on the road happen, "especially in conventional ways," being launched collisions and off the road, the most frequent causes of accidents.

Among the study's findings, which include roadside assistance have increased by 40% in all segments since the beginning of the crisis, but in the case of cars with more than 10 years, have been multiplied by three. And it is also noteworthy that 20% of road vehicles damaged in an accident in six months.

At least 12 dead in the explosion of 17 parcel bombs in southern China

At least 7 people were killed, two are missing and more than 50 have been injured after the explosion of a mysterious series of parcel bombs in various public places in the city of Liuzhou and the surrounding area in China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the south. Among the affected facilities are the seat of local government, a hospital, a station, a shopping center and a market.

The series of 17 explosions, according to official Chinese media, occurred in just over an hour, midafternoon. Apparently, the explosive packages were distributed by courier, a ubiquitous service throughout China thanks to the boom in electronic commerce. According to official Chinese media, the police examined 60 other suspicious packages in case they might contain explosives.

The wave of bombings caused panic and confusion in the area. In social networks, residents rushed to hang pictures showing collapsed buildings, craters, wounded calling for help and widespread damage.

The official media have offered few details about the event. As usual in cases of incidents considered "sensitive", Chinese journalists have received instructions from the government of merely reproducing the information coming from official channels, as indicated by a leaked on Internet policy and that echoes the website "Shangaiist".

One thing that the Chinese media are allowed to publish itself is that Chinese police ruled that it is an "act of terrorism" organized, they say. Investigators have arrested a local resident, surnamed Wei and 33-year-old suspect. It may not be the only one: the television network CCTV mentioned in his Twitter account to witness statements the police to talk about "suspicious" (plural) that "paid messengers to hand over packages".

It is quite common in China, where access to justice is fraught with obstacles and the courts are not perceived as entities imparciales- some citizens who abused use force feel. While in previous cases it had not been given a similar combination of violence and level of organization.

In 2013, one person was killed and 8 were injured when a man detonated a series of homemade explosives outside a government building in Taiyuan, in northern China. Also that year, another man committed suicide and killed more than 40 people to set fire to the bus he was traveling in Fujian Province to protest against local authorities.


Explosions in Liuzhou have been all the more alarming as occurred a day before China's National Day, October 1, open the "golden week" holidays seven that make up one of the peak periods for domestic tourism . October 1 also marks a "significant" anniversary, the establishment of the autonomous region of Xinjiang.

Australia seeks quick ideas to curb shark attacks

Among the technologies to deter, experts propose installing underground electrical barriers that would feed for wave energy devices and lead positions swimmers and surfers. The Shark Shield company has designed a device with the same name ("shark shield") to be fixed in the ankle and emits an electric field that interacts with a gelatinous blisters on the snouts of sharks to provoke spasms.

The device has been tested by the University of Western Australia, which confirms its effects up to 90% success waiting to hear more about how it impacts on some species of sharks.

Other proposed solutions extend poses a barrier rigid nylon able to resist the force of ocean currents. Some experts prefer a fine mesh nets, which are harmful to coral seabed. The creation of electrical barriers is also valued: his defender, Geremy Cliff marine biologist believes may be a solution, but acknowledged that its development is still precarious.

The meeting also discussed the detection technologies sharks, as the Clever Buoy system ("smart beacon"), which sends signals to a satellite indicating the animal proximity to the coast.

Other researchers have proposed swimwear for surfers that sharks color blind, confuse with the seabed.

The government is also supported by local scientists to take stock of recent discoveries worldwide. It is the case of a marine biologist at the University of Bond Daryl McPhee. Speaking to Agence France Presse, he said that "sharks have seven senses.

We do not know how they perceive their environment, but we know much [about it] ten years ago. Now we can use technology to design better technologies deterrence. "Ultimately, the cause of increased attacks by these animals is unknown.
