Source: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk - Thursday, April 21, 2016 Today the Government has announced that it would resettle more refugees from the region. You can be forgiven if you're now overcome by a sense of déjà vu. On the 28 January the Government announced that it would "work with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to lead a new initiative to resettle unaccompanied children from conflict regions" and now they have come forward with the detail. If I was cynical I'd remark on the fact that this latest announcement comes just days before a crucial vote in the Commons which would force the Tories to take 3,000 vulnerable child refugees from Europe and it seems that the Government are trying to buy off MPs ahead of that. Of course the Government's latest capitulation to take up to 3,000 individuals from the Syrian region over the next four years is welcome but it is simply not enough. When I travelled to Greece earlier this month I saw thousands of refugee children languishing in camps that were overstretched and understaffed. Tens of thousands of vulnerable children travelling alone arrived in Europe last year - this latest announcement will do nothing for them. Instead they will continue to live on food rations, without access to education and without hope or fall prey to traffickers and those who would exploit them. Even on the personnel side the Government is failing to step up to the plate. Today's announcement includes an offer of 75 experts to help the Greek authorities 'pro All Related

PERCHED on a hilltop a few miles from the sea, the Christian Maronite village of Kormakitis, in Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus, is running out of time. In 1974, when Turkish troops invaded the island following a Greek Cypriot coup, the town was home to some 2,000 people. Today about 110 pensioners remain. They spend their time at the café joking in the indigenous dialect, a blend of Arabic, Aramaic and Greek. Their children, who have moved to the richer Greek part of the island, visit on holidays. A Lebanese priest leads prayers at the newly restored church. Every fortnight a UN convoy arrives from Nicosia, the capital, carrying supplies. “There is no work here, no school and no room for investment,” says Napoleon Terzis, who worked in the Greek south as an air-traffic controller before returning to retire. Without jobs, he says, the town, its language and its people, who moved here from Lebanon in the 12th century, all face extinction. Mr Terzis and his friends place their hope in a united Cyprus. That prospect may be within reach. Since last year, Nicos Anastasiades, president of the Republic of Cyprus, and his counterpart,...

No mere alcoholic malt drink WITH films, exhibitions and a commemorative stamp, Germany is marking the 500th anniversary on April 23rd of an event considered central to the national identity. It is not Martin Luther’s nailing of his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg—that anniversary falls next year. Rather, it is the passing of a law concerning beer by two Bavarian dukes, Wilhelm IV and his brother Ludwig X. Henceforth, they decreed, brewers in Bavaria were to use only three ingredients: water, barley and hops. (They did not yet know about yeast, which occurs naturally in beer but was officially permitted as an additive only later.) Subsequently dubbed the _Reinheitsgebot, _or “German beer purity law”, the regulation spread. Otto I, a Bavarian prince who became king of Greece in the 19th century, subjected his new country’s brewers to its stringent rules (becoming perhaps the first German to impose austerity on the Greeks). Other German regions adopted it after unification in 1871, and from 1906 the whole of Germany did. Today the _Reinheitsgebot_—which governs lagers but...

[Presidential Palace handout photo shows Turkish President Erdogan attending a ceremony to mark the 101st anniversary of Battle of Canakkale, as part of the WWI Gallipoli campaign, in Canakkale]By Gabriela Baczynska BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Turkey has met fewer than half the conditions for its citizens to be granted early visa-free travel to the European Union, just 10 days before a deadline for it to meet the requirements, an EU official told lawmakers on Thursday. The EU promised last month to extend visa liberalisation to Turkey by the end of June in return for its agreement to take back all illegal migrants who cross to Greece from its shores, provided it fulfilled all the so-called benchmarks. The executive European Commission is due to report to member states and the European Parliament on May 4 whether Ankara has met the goals, and has set April 31 as a cut-off date for Turkey to pass the necessary measures.
