Austria’s xenophobia
Alarm bells are sure to be ringing in Austria’s corridors of power following pressure from the United Nations for the country to improve its stand on the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers.
The committee criticises the «frequently xenophobic» handling of refugees and immigrants by parties. Speeches of some politicians are «hateful», declared the UN.
The association also stated that the discrimination of minorities in daily life such as discrimination in the job market and with rental accommodation «are worrying».

****Chef of styrian social-democrats is for coalition with ÖVP
Styrian SPÖ Governor Franz Voves has spoken up in support of governing coalition with the ÖVP.
Voves said: «I was and I am a supporter of this coalition. I think that it is the best solution for the next five-ten years.»
Franz Voves – former ice-hockey national team player refused to comment on whether the SPÖ should continue such cooperation in case it fails to receive the most votes in the 28 September election. Voves dismissed talk about possible election outcomes as mere speculation at the moment. In contrast to some other SPÖ leaders, the 55-year-old Voves stressed the point that he would not exclude any party from talks about a possible coalition. Voves expects that the SPÖ will be number one on 28 September due to new SPÖ leader Werner Faymann, which has beén «fantastic» in Styria.

Russian _Съёмка Вернера Файмана
(shooting with social-democrats leader Werner Faymann)
Вначале я ринулась на пресс-конференцию „зелёных“, где оказалась единственным фотографом. Все репортёры караулили у дверей штаб-квартиры социалистов, когда появится Файман.
Лидер „зелёных“ – симпатичный пожилой дяденька в красной кофточке. Рядом восседает его соратник и партийный активист, которого я видела на манифестации „голубых“. Дальше»Werner Faymann and my plate of spagetti»

***Clear Intrusion
Georgia’s president said 150 Russian tanks and other vehicles had entered South Ossetia. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili told CNN: «Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory.» BBC News
As a result of military operations in South Ossetia more than 1400 persons are dead
«Rescue us!» People leaving South Ossetia tell about horrors of bombardment, and those who remain in town Tskhinvali, send SOS messages. Flow of Tskhinvali refugees, that begun several days ago, has reached now its apogee. As correspondent of agency informs, the considerable quantity of refugees gathered now on the Georgian-Russian frontier.
Many women and children cry. «We had never seen such fire and never heard such a roar», – said one of the women.» All this is terrible. The Georgian military men, opening fire on our villages, do not think that they fire on ordinary defenseless people including children and women.

Уж замуж невтерпёж,
или Тайны мадридского двора
Мои австрийские знакомые частенько обращаются ко мне за советом, когда русские потенциальные невесты из интернета выставляют им вместе с обещанием примчаться и любить до гроба цены на дорожные издержки.
Суммы эти, мягко выражаясь, завышены, и сам факт выглядит либо как свидетельство российского мифологического мышления о баснословном изобилии западной жизни, либо как проверка золотого бычка на платежеспособность. Дальше»Was Mann wirklich will»
