Sexual Harassment: Ex"Photograph" Employee sues Springer Verlag

The case surrounding former Bild editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt has legal repercussions for the US media group Axel Springer. A former employee of the tabloid Bild filed a civil lawsuit against the company in a Los Angeles court in August, according to the court’s website. There is also a hearing date in December.

Former employee of Bild editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt, Johanna Sophie Gerber, has filed a lawsuit against the US subsidiary Axel Springer Services, according to “media insiders” and “Zeit Online”. There are eleven charges against the publisher: Gerber accuses the company of sexual harassment, unfair payment, retaliatory measures, and aiding and abetting harassment.


The complaint is currently under review


A spokesperson for Axel Springer said on Tuesday when asked: “We are reviewing the lawsuit and will comment on it at the appropriate time.”


Bild editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt had to leave in October 2021 against the backdrop of allegations of abuse of power in connection with consensual relationships with employees. In the spring of 2021, Springer launched an internal lawsuit against Reichelt to review the allegations and decided to give him a second chance.


A New York Times media report picked up the case in October 2021, at the same time as there was a press survey by an investigative team from the Ippen media group. Springer then drew a line and released Reichelt from his duties. The journalist himself later spoke of a “smear campaign” against him.

Kurz is mentioned in lawsuit


According to “media insiders”, former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is mentioned in the indictment. The former “Bild” employee is said to have met Kurz in 2018 at the Salzburg Festival. According to Reichelt, the former chancellor found her “nice” and Reichelt gave him Gerber’s private phone number “just for fun”.

Airbus finds corrosion on A400M and pilots demand return of

Airbus finds corrosion on A400M and pilots demand return of Hercules

Airbus has had a new corrosionrelated ‘headache’, not on an airliner but on its largest military aircraft, the A400M.

Disclosure Airbus

The military freighter was one of the most daring projects of the European manufacturer along with the A380 and also managed to defeat the American competitor, in this case the Lockheed Martin C130 Hercules, which is about to turn 70 years of operation.

While the A380 had few orders because it was considered inefficient for many routes and too large for many airports, the A400M had another shortcoming: its size, much larger than the C130, in addition to its new engines (which are the largest and largest are the most powerful turboprops of all time) brought costs and problems that drove new customers away.

Because of this. its activity was limited to a small group of 10 countries. One of the most important is the United Kingdom, which is also a partner in the development of the aircraft with Germany, France, Spain and others.

corrosion

Recently, corrosion problems affected Qatar Airways’ A350, which broke ties with Airbus but was not limited to them and also reached the A400M, but in a very different way.

A Royal Air Force (RAF) source told Aviation Source that corrosion is nagging at “the electrical connection ring, hydraulics, clamps and bolts,” indicating it’s not as aesthetic and physical as the A350, which is made of composite materials, unlike the A400M, which uses conventional aircraft aluminum.

Corrosion was part of the RAF’s decision to phase out the older C130s, although the latest version, the C130J Super Hercules, is still in their inventory. However, the A400M are much newer than the Hercules, which has caused dissatisfaction among pilots wanting to continue flying the C130.

Airbus itself confirmed the incident to the portal, saying that “a routine inspection of some RAF aircraft revealed corrosion in the landing gear bay (where the wheels are stored). We are working closely with the British and a repair is now available and being carried out on the aircraft to ensure their safe operation.”

According to flighttracking platform RadarBox, an A400M, registration ZM410, which has not flown since last year and was stopped at its base in Brize Nortone, could be one of the planes affected by the corrosion.

The Hercules, in turn, is scheduled to leave the RAF in 2023, which has already been postponed several times, precisely because of the problems with the A400M.

For a real fight against cancer –

For a real fight against cancer –

When will there be a real plan to fight cancer in Quebec?

Posted at 5:00 am

Split

That is essentially the question put to our elected officials last week by the Quebec Prioritize Cancer Coalition, which has spoken out publicly on the campaign trail.

She has summed up our main problem in this file, the importance of which is obvious: we have never really managed to mobilize against cancer with unrelenting determination.

Just like we did with COVID-19, for example.

The Quebec government, like many others around the world, has gone to war against the pandemic. Figuratively, but also literally. At the height of the crisis, soldiers were even dispatched to CHSLDs in the province.

The response was strong.

We don’t need soldiers to fight cancer.

Still, imagine if we invest in Quebec even a fraction of the political will and resources deployed in the context of the pandemic!

A lot would change quickly.

First, there would be a real disease control plan.

Such a strategy would allow setting targets to reduce the impact of cancer on Quebec society. And fight to reach them. Because there is an obligation to result.

others have. France, for example, which has had a detailed anti-cancer strategy since 2003.

Last year, when the country released its latest plan, the country set a goal of reducing the number of preventable cancers by 60,000 a year by 2040 (from the current 153,000). In particular, we also hope to increase the number of screening tests and reduce the percentage of patients who have complications five years after their diagnosis. In total, the strategy comprises almost 240 measures.

If Quebec fought cancer as vigorously as it has against COVID-19, we would also be much more concerned with prevention. Reducing the risk of cancer would become a priority.

We would also focus on research with more enthusiasm. We would increase funding, but also the number of patients who have access to clinical trials. There is an urgent need to speed up and simplify access to research projects, oncology specialists will tell you.

The last major change hoped for – but certainly not the least – is a major shift in data availability.

It’s still amazing to see how many experts yell at each other year after year to get the Health Department to understand that Quebec’s lack of cancer data is as damaging as it is embarrassing.

Our journalist Ariane Lacoursière revealed last June that 12 years after its creation, the Quebec Cancer Registry is still not fully operational.

How are you going to adequately combat a disease if you do not have data that will allow you to know exactly the state of the situation, but also the impact of your various interventions, both treatment and prevention?

At the suggestion of Minister Christian Dubé, we have been regularly distributing a large amount of reliable data on COVID-19 for a long time.

When will the same for cancer?

We took COVID-19 seriously because of the threat it poses to Quebec society.

Do we need to remind you that cancer is now the leading cause of death for both men (35.5% of deaths) and women (31.9%)? This means that approximately 20,000 people die from cancer in Quebec every year.

And unfortunately it should not be further improved in view of the aging of the population.

There will be no shortage of ideas until the end of the campaign to improve our healthcare system. The fight against cancer must be a priority.

Moment Fighter jet escorts ‘ghost plane’ that flew for two hours before crashing into the Baltic Sea

Footage of the moment a fighter jet escorted a “ghost plane” that flew for two hours before crashing into the Baltic Sea on Sunday emerged today when body parts were discovered by a search team.

The jet flew unmanned over northern Germany and out over the sea before crashing around 20 miles off the Latvian coast after running out of fuel.

Aviation experts said all four passengers on board the private plane passed out, likely due to a drop in pressure.

NATO jets struggled to intercept the plane, which stopped responding to air traffic controllers’ calls after problems in the cabin were reported but could not see or contact anyone in the cockpit, German tabloid Bild reported.

The Latvian Navy announced on Tuesday that body parts had been discovered in the area of ​​the Baltic Sea where the plane crashed. “We have found several body parts that could be among the missing,” spokeswoman Liva Veita told Norway’s TV2.

Latvia’s announcement came as video emerged from underground showing the moment a warplane intercepted the private plane as it sped over Germany and towards the Baltic Sea.

The sleek Austrian-registered Cessna 551 aircraft, seen in the footage with a blue underbelly, flies alongside a fighter jet with red markings.

The fighter plane tried to make contact with the Cessna, which at the time was flying directly ahead without anyone at the controls. The fighter can be seen to the left of the private plane leaving a vapor trail.

According to the picture, it was still unclear at the time the video was recorded what was going on on board. A fighter jet pilot reported seeing movement in the cabin but no one in the cockpit, and the pilot never received a response to their calls.

Shortly after takeoff from the Spanish city of Jerez on Sunday afternoon, air traffic controllers lost contact with the private plane carrying four people.

Authorities in Latvia said Monday that a search and rescue operation has so far found no sign of survivors from the small plane that crashed off the country’s coast.

Peteris Subbota, head of the Latvian military’s Sea Rescue Coordination Center, told Latvian radio on Monday that part of the plane had been found in the sea. On Tuesday, the Latvian Navy reported the discovery of body parts. They’ve located parts of the plane.

A German merchant who ran one of the oldest carnival clubs in Cologne was named as the pilot of the system on Monday.

Karl-Peter Griesemann, 72, the head of the private air rescue company Quick Air, was flying from Jerez in Spain to Cologne when he was diverted to the Baltic Sea and whirled into the water near Latvia, according to the picture.

Also on board the Cessna 551 were his wife Juliane, daughter Lisa, 26, who is a trained pilot, and her boyfriend Paul.

The family was in southern Spain where they have a lavish holiday home and they returned to their main home in Cologne.

Mr. Griesmann was also head of the Griesmann Group based in Cologne, specializing in construction projects and large industrial plants, and President of the annual Cologne Carnival, one of the largest in Germany.

“I can confirm that it was our owner Karl-Peter Griesemann’s private jet,” a spokesman for Quick Air said.

Planes from several countries and a passenger ferry headed for the crash site on Sunday evening to help with the rescue operation.

A wreckage, a concentrated patch of debris and an oil-like layer were sighted near the crash site, Latvian search and rescue chief Peteris Subbota told Latvian TV, adding that no passengers were found.

The jet “was flying between Spain and Cologne, but when it changed course, air traffic controllers could not establish contact,” Latvia’s civil aviation authority said in a statement.

After taking off from Jerez, southern Spain, just before 3 p.m., the plane made two turns, in Paris and Cologne, before flying directly over the Baltic Sea, passing the Swedish island of Gotland.

Shortly after 7:30 p.m., the flight tracker recorded that it was rapidly losing speed and altitude.

“We have learned that the plane crashed (in the ocean) northwest of the city of Ventspils in Latvia,” said a spokesman for the Swedish Ambulance Service.

“It’s gone off the radar.”

Authorities said the plane “ran out of fuel” which caused it to crash into the Baltic Sea.

The Swedish Maritime Administration dispatched lifeboats, planes and a helicopter to the crash site, with the country’s coastguard confirming the wreckage has been found.

Mr Antonsson said his chance of finding survivors of the crash was “minimal”.

Latvian and Swedish rescue and coastguard vessels patrolled the crash site and a nearby passenger ferry was alerted to help with the effort.

A Lithuanian Air Force helicopter was also dispatched to search and rescue at the request of neighboring Latvia, a Lithuanian Air Force spokesman said.

They added that the fighter jets came from the NATO Baltic Air Police mission at Amari airfield in Estonia.

According to NATO, the mission at the air force base currently consists of four Eurofighter jets from the German Air Force. The announcer did not say how many jets there were or comment further.

Liz Truss cabinet could be the first without a white.jpgw1440

Liz Truss’ cabinet could be the first without a white man in high office

Comment on this story

comment

Liz Truss, who won a bitter battle to succeed Boris Johnson as Britain’s Prime Minister, will preside at a historic moment: for the first time, a white man is unlikely to hold one of Britain’s top four political seats Energy.

Truss is reported to have James Cleverly as Foreign Secretary, Suella Braverman – whose parents came to Britain from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960s – as Home Secretary and Kwasi Kwarteng as the country’s first black Chancellor of the Exchequer, or chief financial officer of British media outlets.

Cleverly, whose mother is from Sierra Leone – his father is from Wiltshire, about 90 miles outside London – has spoken publicly about being bullied as a mixed-race child and has spoken at Conservative Party conferences on how the party can gain the support of black voters. Kwarteng, whose parents immigrated to the UK from Ghana, has written a book examining the rule of the British Empire in the former colonies of Iraq, Kashmir, Myanmar, Sudan, Nigeria and Hong Kong.

The diversity of Truss’s ministerial posts has received praise from some quarters in a country where Conservative Party members – about 0.3 per cent of the UK population – are generally older, wealthier, 95 per cent white and more right-wing politically than Britain all in all. (Nearly 85 percent of people living in England and Wales identify as white, government data shows.)

“The new cabinet is another reminder that people of all backgrounds can go far within the Tory party,” Samuel Kasumu, a former race affairs adviser to Johnson, told the Guardian newspaper.

Not everyone seemed convinced. A headline in Britain’s right-wing Chron tabloid ruefully declared: “Liz Truss puts the finishing touches to a diverse new government: No place for white men in big offices of state.”

Her predecessor, Johnson, also had a fairly diverse composition of senior ministers. Home Secretary Priti Patel was the first British MP of Indian origin to take up the appointment, while among the three chancellors during Johnson’s tenure were two men of South Asian origin and one of Kurdish origin. Truss was Johnson’s Secretary of State.

Some have pointed out that Truss’s likely frontrunners, while ethnically diverse, are on the party’s right wing. Kmacheng had urged Britain to leave the European Union quickly, while Braverman said schools may be legally able to ignore gender-nonconforming and transgender students’ preferred pronouns.

Truss, 47, has pledged to cut taxes and increase borrowing to fund spending even as inflation climbs above 10 per cent and the Bank of England forecasts a protracted recession by the end of the year. Truss has also pledged to make reducing illegal migration a key priority and ensure the continuation of a policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda who enter the UK on small boats.

Liz Truss succeeds Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister

The left-of-centre opposition Labor Party has more ethnically and gender-diversified MPs, but they hold a smaller proportion of the party’s highest offices.

said Labor politician Shaista Aziz on Twitter, in response to news of Truss’s potential appointments, that “it’s not enough to be a black or ethnic minority politician in this country, or to be a cabinet minister. That’s not what representation is about. This is actually tokenism.”

Ahead of the leadership vote, Aziz wrote an article in which he described the Conservatives as failing to represent the causes of ordinary people.

“Despite all the talk about diversity and inclusion, Tory candidates of color and all running the race support the party’s right-wing immigration policy, which includes deporting asylum seekers from the UK and returning them to Rwanda while their asylum claims are being processed.” , she wrote last month.

Employment lawyer Marsha de Cordova said that while Truss’ cabinet will be diverse, “it will be the most right-wing in living memory, promoting a political agenda that will attack the rights of working people, particularly minorities.”

William Booth and Karla Adam contributed to this report.

Singers from Italy and Ecuador receive lessons from a Russian teacher

Moscow, Sep 6 (Prensa Latina) Revered Russian artist Ildar Abdrazákov will hold master classes for young singers from Italy, Ecuador and this country during the fifth edition of the International Music Festival, local press reported today.

The Fund for the Support and Promotion of Young Talents and the Development of International Cultural Relations of the Russian Teacher announced that on September 9, 14 and 17 Abdrazákov will give lectures in the cities of Vladivostok, Khanty-Mansisk and Krasnoyarsk.

For the course, 34 singers were selected from the videos submitted in two stages with their performances. “There were so many interesting requests this year that I had to make two rounds of selections,” said the festival’s artistic director.

He explained that it was difficult for applicants from the most remote regions of the country to fly to Moscow, where these educational programs are most often held, so they decided to move the festival and hold master classes in these cities.

The event opened in 2018 with concerts in the cities of Moscow, Ufa, Kazan, Almetievsk, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Tyumen and Astrakhan.

Abdrazákov is an opera singer described by critics as a “sensational bass”, with imposing tone, beautiful legato and exceptional delicacy.

His work is well known on major stages in Russia, Italy, Japan and the United States, with recitals alongside the Chicago Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Bavarian Radio, Rotterdam Philharmonic, National Orchestra of France, Scala Philharmonic Orchestra in Milan and the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome.
