The former car boss carlos ghosn proposes to the french justice to question him at his place of residence beirut in lebanon.

"There is a technical obstacle," ghosn told the french regional newspaper "le parisien". "My passport is in the hands of the attorney general in lebanon, as japan has issued an international arrest warrant against me."

Japan seeks extradition of fugitive former top manager. Ghosn demanded in view of the judicial inquiry that his safety must be guaranteed. According to the newspaper, the conversation was held in beirut.

Julia ebenhoh and her husband michael ratz are burnt children when it comes to floods in mainstockheim. They are residents of the riedbach and have already been hit by flooding three times since 2013. For the current council meeting, they had hoped for progress in flood protection, but the meeting did not bring them any concrete results. "Nothing significant will change at the riedbach", mayor karl-dieter fuchs described the result of a brief discussion with authorities and experts.

As karl-dieter fuchs informed, there had recently been a meeting at the water management office (WWA). The authorities had let the community know that it would probably never reach the requirement of an HQ100 culvert. In addition, third parties had no claim against the municipality as obligors of water maintenance for the development of such waters. According to the minutes of the meeting, the municipality wants to provide for smaller sedimentation possibilities in the upper reaches of the riedbach and to create possibilities for the river to flow on municipal flats.

The WWA suggested to the community the creation of a concept for water pressure maintenance on the basis of a hundred-year flood (HQ 100). The mayor found the advice helpful for the future, but short term measures are necessary. Meanwhile, it would probably take two to three years to come up with a concept, which he did not want to inflict on the affected burghers.

It was only a few days ago that thomas kemmerich (FDP) was elected prime minister of thuringia with the votes of the afd. Not only was he the second FDP minister president ever, he will also go down in history as the minister president with the shortest term in office – assuming he doesn’t stay in office as managing minister president for too much longer.

In thuringia, it quickly became clear that there was really only one way out. However, the minister-president election in thuringia’s state parliament triggered a political quake that caused a stir far beyond the state’s borders – and is still claiming political victims: on monday, annegret kramp-karrenbauer announced her renunciation of her candidacy for chancellor and her withdrawal from the party chairmanship.

But the election has shown even more: what conclusions can be drawn from the election in thuringia?? What impact will the election have on franconia and the rest of germany?? We have collected seven points that stood out in our dealings with thuringia:

While the total number of firefighting incidents rose by around three percent, the number of firefighting incidents fell by one to 160, while the number of technical assistance incidents rose from 584 in the previous year to 650. 54 people were rescued in the district, eight could only be recovered dead, mostly after traffic accidents. Even after fires, two people could only be recovered dead. A total of ten people were rescued from burning houses by the fire brigade, some of them via turntable ladders. And almost everywhere, fire department leaders from the district fire chief to the four district and city fire inspectors to the individual district fire chiefs were also in action.

In the past year alone, 11 people were killed in serious incidents in the district of bad kissingen.990 volunteers deployed. In purely arithmetical terms, each of the 5420 firefighters had to handle two missions a year, which again took an average of around two hours.

In view of these figures, district administrator thomas bold also thanked the employers of the men and women who serve in the armed forces. "Only if the employers play along can the volunteer fire department model work – in our case, it’s going extremely well".

Thanks to the generous space available in the oberaurach center in trossenfurt, it was no problem for the oberaurach community to hold its community council meeting on tuesday evening with sufficient safety margin.

A major item on the agenda was the planned flood protection in kirchaich. Jan-peter solveen and robert lutz from alka engineering presented the design and answered the committee’s questions. The purpose of the project is, on the one hand, to improve the flood situation in the center of the village of kirchaich and, on the other hand, to improve the appearance and thus the quality of life in the center of the village by means of suitable measures. The discharge capacity of the aurach is to be increased by suitable measures in order to reduce frequent flooding at the edge of the eastern part of the village. At the same time, the existing muhlbach is to be abandoned as such, since the kotzmuhle no longer uses the water of the muhlbach and no water rights exist any longer.

The muhlbach outside the village of kirchaich becomes south of the bridge "untere au" fed by spring water and still needed for the operation of the fish pond facilities southeast of kirchaich. This will continue to be possible.

The year 2012 was the year of the missions in the county. The current year 2013 is the year of the acquisitions, of necessary acquisitions, with new approaches. The county and municipalities are currently investing over three million euros in the provision of vehicles and equipment. Four identical TLF 4000 coarse tank fire trucks were purchased for the municipalities of bad staffelstein, burgkunstadt, michelau and lichtenfels, a rust truck for the michelau fire department, and an HLF 20 emergency rescue vehicle for the altenkunstadt fire department, a respiratory protection/radiation protection truck for the altenkunstadt fire department, a third turntable ladder for the district, to be stationed in ebensfeld, and finally a supply truck with crane, winch and extensive special equipment for the lichtenfels fire department/main hazard protection train.

Replacement was necessary
Since the founding of the lichtenfels/main fire department from the former THW local association in 1995, several used vehicles formerly owned by the federal government have been stationed in oberwallenstadt. After these vehicles had become outdated in the meantime, the responsible persons began to consider the subject of replacement procurement. From three used, between 30 and 50 years old, formerly federally owned vehicles with extensive special loads and three trailers, the fire department of lichtenfels/main developed a unique and cost-effective universal vehicle concept.

Saving was necessary
On sunday the inauguration of the new fire truck took place in the well-filled town hall of lichtenfels with the participation of the district fire department leadership as well as representatives of numerous fire departments from the urban area. "Since we were aware that the financial resources of both the county and the municipality are not exactly abundant to order three new trucks, we considered how we could nevertheless maintain or even improve the operational capability and effectiveness of the emergency response unit with fewer resources", says chairman georg storath.

A resolution condemning the radical islamic palastinian organization hamas for its rocket attacks on israel failed to get the required majority in the UN general assembly.

It would have been the first time that the 193-member general assembly directly condemned hamas. Hamas called the result a "slap in the face to the U.S. Government". The U.S. Condemned the outcome of the vote.

87 countries, including germany, voted for the resolution on thursday, 58 against, 32 abstained. Previously, the committee had decided by a narrow majority that the resolution would require a two-thirds vote.
