The opposition Republicans, who control the Senate and the House of Representatives, reject Obama’s change of course in Cuban politics.

45 days for decision

Congress now has 45 days to review Obama’s decision before it goes into effect. The opposition Republicans, who control the Senate and the House of Representatives, reject Obama’s change of course in Cuban politics. In theory, they could block removal from the terrorist list. However, it is considered unlikely that they will pass a corresponding law through parliament against the opposition of the president.

After more than half a century without diplomatic ties, Obama and Cuba’s head of state Raul Castro agreed on rapprochement on a phone call in December. A number of travel and trade facilitations have been in place since mid-January. The US president also promised to lobby Congress in Washington for a complete lifting of the 1962 trade embargo against the island state, which is only 150 kilometers south of Florida.

Exchange of ambassadors as the next step

Obama and Castro also agreed to exchange ambassadors. The Cuban government made deletion from the terrorist list a precondition for this. So far, both countries have only had an interest group under the auspices of Switzerland in the other capital.

At the America Summit in Panama City, Obama and Castro sealed the new beginning between the two countries with a historic handshake. The US President then spoke of an “open and fruitful conversation” with the Cuban head of state. Castro said he hoped for “civilized coexistence”. The last time the heads of state of the two countries met was almost six decades ago: in 1956, the then US President Dwight Eisenhower met the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista – also at a congress in Panama.

Rabbit breeders have Pope Francis for his

“Rabbit” utterance

criticized. Erwin Leowsky, President of the Central Association of German Racial Rabbit Breeders, told the German Press Agency on Tuesday that one should not assume that all rabbits have a generalized increase in sexual behavior.

The sexual debauchery would only apply to the wild animals. In contrast, breeding rabbits reproduce in an orderly fashion.

“Maybe he should think about letting go of such idioms and giving birth to contraception for it.https://123helpme.me/ In my opinion, that would be more appropriate than letting go of such stupid sayings,” said Leowsky. With reference to the ban on contraceptives in the Catholic Church, Francis stressed on Monday that Catholics should not reproduce like “rabbits”.

“German breed rabbit breeder”. Club Meier stop. I do not belong to the r.k. Church, but I find the Pope’s expression positive. I am particularly impressed by his courage to attack previous taboo topics. He must speak the language of the people, because that is the only way to understand him. People who get upset will never die out. Not even if the contraception is released.

Australia’s head of government has denounced security margins following the Sydney hostage drama and ordered a comprehensive investigation. The

Perpetrator Man Haron Monis

(50) had attracted attention several times due to violence and extremist views. “The Secret Service has him on their radar and I really have no idea how he got out of there,” Abbott said on Wednesday.

He expects results by the end of January. The central points of the investigation: Why did the perpetrator accused of violent crime with openly expressed radical Islamic views have a weapon? Why did the ASIO secret service let him out of sight after he was convicted of hate letters to soldiers’ families? Why was he at large despite serious charges? Why did he get asylum, even though he was wanted as a financial fraudster in his native Iran? How was he able to live on welfare for years, apparently without need?

Hours of hostage taking

Monis had one on Monday

Raid Sydney cafe

and 17 hostages under his control for hours. He portrayed the attack as an act by the terrorist militia “Islamic State” (IS) fighting in Iraq and Syria. The police stormed the café after 16 hours when shots were fired. The investigation indicates that Monis shot the manager of the cafe when he tried to snatch the gun from him. Another hostage and the perpetrator were killed in the storm.

“The system didn’t handle this man properly,” acknowledged Abbott. “The tragedy of this atrocity is that two people are dead, that people are injured, that others are traumatized because this madman was free to roam our streets.”

Safety precautions increased

In the Australian metropolis, the security precautions have meanwhile been increased. Several hundred additional police officers were on the streets of the city on Wednesday, especially in public places and in local traffic. Operations manager Michael Fuller said that it was important that the population felt safe in these “difficult times” and that the police knew they were nearby.

There are currently numerous tourists in the city because of the upcoming Christmas holidays and the famous New Year’s Eve celebrations. Fuller said there was no reason to believe that such a tragedy as the hostage-taking in a Lindt cafe on Martin Place would repeat itself.

An 83-year-old man reported on Wednesday about his escape from the Lindt Café in Sydney. Six hours after the attack, he took advantage of the hostage taker’s inattentiveness, opened the front door with the push of a button and ran, reported John O’Brien. Another man followed him. A third took advantage of the tumult at the door to escape through the back exit.

It is obvious that serious (!) Errors occurred in the examination or further “treatment” of the extremist. The question of why the hostage-taker was able to carry out his plan undisturbed, even though the secret service had already noticed him, needs to be answered. Some of them slept there …!

The great problem of the pontificate of Benedict XVI is that “the Pope never asserted himself as a leading figure”. been. The Pope felt “that he is no longer able to govern”, which he put into clear words when he said he was unable to administer, explained Vatican expert Marco Politi. Benedict XVI. did not want to become Pope at all and would now have “recognized in front of his conscience and himself that he is not the right man”.

It is interesting that a forged document that reported about a year ago about a murder plot against the Pope contained some important information from today’s perspective. About that Benedict XVI. will only be in office for one year and that his successor will be named Angelo Scola – who is still considered one of the most promising candidates today. Still, Politi believes the Pope “fell by himself” and not through a conspiracy of conservative or progressive forces.

Not a strong candidacy

At the coming conclave, which the successor Benedict XVI. should vote, the Vatican expert sees “no strong candidacy”. Joseph Ratzinger started the race as the favorite, but now “the cards are being reshuffled”, Politi is convinced. None of the cardinals currently have a “large package of votes”, which they must first win through discussions.

The really interesting question, however, is whether there will be a majority for a reform pope. It is certain that in future the principle of collegiality of the Second Vatican Council will have to be lived more strongly. Because “a man alone can no longer exercise the office of Pope today,” said Politi.

When Pope Benedict XVI. resigns his post at the end of the month, a retirement age in monastic peace beckons him, for which his predecessor John Paul II made provisions: In 1992 the Pole had the cloistered monastery Mater Ecclesiae built in the Vatican gardens, in which sisters over the years different orders from all over the world lived and worked. When Benedict XVI. After the current modernization work has been completed, the unusual situation now arises that a new Pope and his predecessor are living in the Vatican at the same time.

For the outgoing Pope, who in his almost eight-year term of office always attached great importance to regular walks in the Vatican gardens, the building, surrounded by flower beds and vegetable patches, is likely to be the ideal place to spend the old age. Two rare types of roses bloom there – the pink “Beatrice d’Este” and the white “Giovanni Paolo II”. The gardens supply foods such as peppers, zucchini and cabbage. Lemons and oranges also grow on the trees in the garden.

The three-story building has twelve cells on the upper floors. They are sparsely decorated, with wooden crucifixes and religious paintings on the walls. On the first floor of the house there is a chapel, a living room and lounge, a library and a kitchen. Until the renovation of the building is completed, Benedict XVI will. live in the papal summer residence Castel Gandolfo near Rome.

Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi does not believe that the outgoing Pope will lead a completely withdrawn life in Mater Ecclesiae. “I don’t expect him to become a hermit,” he says. The Pope “often said that he wanted to dedicate his old age to writing and studying”. “I think he’ll do that too,” Lombardi said, adding: “It’s an unprecedented situation, we’ll see what happens.”

Brother Georg speaks up

Pope brother Georg Ratzinger is certain that Benedict XVI. will continue to work a lot even after his resignation. “He will not be completely retired,” said the 89-year-old on Tuesday in Regensburg. “Just wait until the day goes by, it certainly won’t do that.” On Monday, the Pope unexpectedly announced his resignation on February 28 and justified the move with his poor health.

Meanwhile, plans for Joseph Ratzinger’s move to his new home in a monastery in the Vatican seem to have progressed further than previously thought. “The apartment is already being furnished,” said his brother. The house is now being converted into the papal “pensioners apartment”, as the Pope brother called it.

Small office

Apparently the former theology professor Joseph Ratzinger wants to work scientifically there again. “A small office will be set up,” said the 89-year-old. He revealed that the four sisters of the Catholic lay association “Memores Domini”, who had previously looked after Benedict’s household in the Apostolic Palace, were also moving. Only Benedict would have to do without his valet in the future.

Georg Ratzinger said about his brother’s new life: “I hope that we will have more time for each other in the future.” So far he has only seen the Pope in Rome in the morning, at noon and in the evening. In the new house, as in the Apostolic Palace, there will again be space for the older brother. Georg Ratzinger: “I’ll definitely get my own room.”
