Scandalo Oxfam

Scandalo Oxfam: il governo britannico apre un'inchiesta
La potente organizzazione umanitaria, con sede nel Regno Unito, è finita nell'occhio del ciclone per le rivelazioni del "Times" su presunti festini ed orge con prostitute ad Haiti, subito dopo il terremoto del 2010. Oxfam si difende: "Non abbiamo insabbiato. Abbiamo licenziato i responsabili".
Secondo i media inglesi, lo scandalo rischia di travolgere anche altre Ong: nell'articolo di The Observer, vengono citati "comportamenti impropri" anche da parte di personale di Save The Children, Christian Aid e la Croce Rossa britannica.

NON PROFIT ? Gianfranco Uber
One of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world is likely to be overwhelmed by the scandal that sees many of its officials, officially engaged in the post-earthquake relief in Haiti, very busy in giving work to the local even minors prostitution
Una delle maggiori Organizzazioni Umanitarie del mondo rischia di essere travolta dallo scandalo  che vede numerosi suoi funzionari, ufficialmente impegnati nei soccorsi post terremoto ad Haiti,   molto indaffarati a dare lavoro alla prostituzione, anche minorile, locale.

OXFAM
Bado / Guy Badeaux
------------------------------------

From Guardian
Oxfam is desperately trying to contain a growing crisis over allegations of sexual misconduct by its aid workers as it faces a crunch meeting with ministers today which could see it stripped of government funding. After revelations that staff paid prostitutes in Haiti for sex parties were followed by similar reports about aid workers in Chad, the charity’s chair of trustees, Caroline Thomson, said she was widening a review of its practices and admitted “anger and shame that behaviour like that ... happened in our organisation”. The international development secretary, Penny Mordaunt, will meet the charity today after warning the scandal had put its relationship with the government at risk, along with its £34m state funding. Oxfam’s chief executive, Mark Goldring, said he would emphasise to the minister the charity’s contrition and the changes it had made. “I’m going to repeat, as I have done to the British public, Oxfam’s apologies for those events.” In our comment section, columnist Matthew d’Ancona argues that the Oxfam scandal is no reason to cut off foreign aid.

Nobel Peace Prize 2013
By Patrick Chappatte, Le Temps, Switzerland - 10/11/2013

Assegnato Premio Nobel 2013 per la pace a OPCW

 The prize, which was given to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on Friday, "should have been mine," he said
 Il presidente siriano Bashar al-Assad ha scherzato in un'intervista a un giornale libanese pro-regime dicendo che il Premio Nobel per la Pace 2013 avrebbe dovuto essere assegnato a lui.

Il premio è stato   dato alll'Organizzazione per la proibizione delle armi chimiche  (OPAC), che ha proprio il compito di disarmare la Siria delle sue scorte chimiche. 

Detroit, una città in bancarotta

Peter Brookes for The Times

Una carcassa di automobile usata come metafora del degrado ed abbandono di una grande città americana  Detroit.
Detroit è fallita
Diversi fattori hanno influito sui problemi economici di Detroit, tra cui il calo di un quarto di abitanti tra il 2000 e il 2010 (erano 1,8 milioni negli anni Cinquanta, oggi sono meno di 700 mila), così come la fuga di imprese e classe media, che hanno diminuito drasticamente le entrate fiscali. Il deficit nel bilancio cittadino è stimato in oltre 380 milioni di dollari, ma Orr ha stimato i debiti di lungo periodo a oltre 14 miliardi di dollari, forse addirittura 18,5 miliardi.
E paradosso tutto questo succede mentre l'industria automobilistica ha un boom!

The city of Detroit, once the heart of the U.S. automobile industry, filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in federal court on Thursday, laying the groundwork for a historic effort to bail out a city that is sinking under billions of dollars in debt and decades of mismanagement, population flight and loss of tax revenue. The bankruptcy filing makes Detroit the largest city in U.S. history to do so. Full story

In this cartoon from The Daily Telegraph, Blower uses the rusty wreck of an American automobile as a metaphor for the decline of this once great city. (I'm no expert on cars, but I think it's a Cadillac.) The hood is open and the wheels have been removed. A solitary tire lies on the ground. The license plate bears the words "Motor City", a nickname for Detroit. On the right, we can see the ruins of a house, another symbol of Detroit's decay.

NOTE 
The cartoonist may also have been thinking of the expession Rust Belt, the name given to the heavily industrial area of the northeastern U.S. containing the older industries and factories. The term gained popularity in the United States in the 1980s as an informal description of a postindustrial region straddling the Northeastern and the East North Central States.

VOCABULARY1. Cars are one of the areas where American English and British English differ in their vocabulary.
• automobile (US) = (motor) car (UK)
• hood (US) = bonnet (UK)
• trunk (US) = boot (UK)
• license plate (US) = number plate (UK)
• windshield (US) = windscreen (UK)
• fender (US) = wing (UK)
• tire (US) = tyre (UK)
• flat (US) = flat tyre, puncture (UK)
2. If you describe something, such as an old car, as rusty, you mean that it is covered with rust (a reddish-brown substance that is formed on some metals by the action of water and air). Rust is also a verb. • Brass doesn't rust.  • Water had got in and rusted the engine.
