Secretary of State Sammy Mahdi (CD&V) launches the #PlekVrij campaign.Jef PoppelmondeToday at 19: 39According to the United Nations, more than 500,000 Ukrainians have already fled their country. The European Union takes into account that up to seven million people can flee if the war drags on. How many of them will come to Belgium is, for now, watching coffee grounds. On Sunday, the European Ministers of the Interior and migration already decided that Ukrainian refugees will be able to count on an automatic protection statute, and do not have to go through the asylum procedure. Once they have arrived in Belgium, they would be entitled to stay for up to three years. For the reception of the Ukrainian refugees, the federal government is initially looking at the Belgian families-with the #PlekVrij campaign. This was announced by Secretary of State for asylum and migration Sammy Mahdi (CD&V). In doing so, he responds to the many spontaneous solidarity and offers by families, which have surfaced in recent days, including via social media.READ ALSO.

Together with the National Crisis Centre, they are responsible for the Coordination of housing for families, who can apply to their municipality to provide shelter for fleeing Ukrainians."The mails and messages coming in from the population are huge," says Mahdi. "Everyone wants to help. This war leaves no one untouched. Do you have free space and are you willing to accommodate people?

A 45-year-old man murdered his wife of the same age as him and their two sons, aged 12 and 15. He then killed himself in particularly violent circumstances.On Monday morning, the police were called to the scene by relatives of the author, worried that they would not hear from him. The man, a physiotherapist like his wife, had indeed not shown up for work.On the spot, the police discovered the unthinkable ... the lifeless bodies of his wife and the two children who were in their respective rooms. The father-of-one allegedly killed his wife first, with an axe, before attacking his two children in their sleep, using a knife. "This is the likely scenario", confirmed on Monday afternoon Catherine Collignon, spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office of Liège who went down to the scene as did a medical examiner and the laboratory. "He then allegedly killed himself, continues the spokeswoman, the author's body was found in the cellar". He allegedly used a record machine to end his life…In the neighborhood, it is the amazement so much the couple was discreet and appreciated. "People with whom we had a good relationship", "no history, very nice", explain these neighbors.He left a letterBefore committing the facts, however, the man wrote a letter. It is understood that he could not stand the separation. It is his wife who would have decided to leave him, several weeks ago…According to the Liège prosecutor's office still, the couple was indeed in full separation even if the spouses still lived under the same roof. "The word left by the author confirms that he was experiencing the situation badly", again indicates Catherine Collignon.According to the initial findings of the investigation, it was between 23 h and 2 am that the facts were committed. On the spot, drugs found also suggest that the physiotherapist had premeditated his gesture. He would have previously put his children to sleep before killing them.An investigation is now being opened by the prosecutor's office of Liège but, as the spokeswoman already specified, "the public action will be extinguished since the author has killed himself". Nevertheless, it is a question of determining the exact circumstances of this family drama.It is known that the man did not handle the family situation well and that tensions have been high in recent months. However, he was completely unknown to the judiciary.The family lived in this affluent area of the commune of Awans since 2015. [ad_2] Read more from this article on www.lalibre.be

He proposes to establish a specialized international criminal tribunal to investigate the Russian leader and his cronies for their crime of aggression. Philippe Sands. - Mathieu Golinvaux. Carte blanche - By Philippe Sands, lawyer, professor of law at University College London, author of "Back to Lemberg. On the origins of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity" (European Book Prize 2018) Published on 28/02/2022 at 20: 54 Playing time: 5 min Lthe decision by President Vladimir Putin to attack Ukraine is the most serious challenge to the post-1945 international order. The latter is based on the idea of a rule of law and principles of self-determination for all peoples and the prohibition of the use of force. This is not the first time that Russia has taken a military interest in the territories that it now intends to occupy: in September 1914, Russia occupied the city of Lviv in this way, provoking the exodus of tens of thousands of people to the west, including my grandfather who was ten years old at the time. In September 1939, the Soviet Union carried out another attack, and then again in the summer of 1944, remaining in power until the independence of Ukraine in 1991. The use of military force by Russia is therefore not in its infancy in these regions, even if, from the point of view of Europeans who have lived for three generations without experiencing military force of such magnitude, the events of the last week were a real shock. History is not so easily erased, and it takes little to revive memories. On the other hand, there are now rules to protect us from such actions, as evidenced by the Charter of the United Nations, which is the closest thing to an international constitution. Putin trampled on the very foundations of this Charter. His televised speech was full of spurious reasons that were supposed to justify an invasion: a great Russia, a fake Ukraine, a Nazi Ukraine, a genocide committed against the Russian ethnic group, etc. This is not the first time such claims have been invoked. In their time, they had already motivated the Nazi agreements of Munich 1938 or the Greater Serbia projects of Slobodan Milosevic. To read also Understanding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in five questions Putin made a bet, hoping that the West would give in. As a result of various failures, including an illegal and failed war in Iraq, and the recent collapse of political will in Afghanistan, as well as the adoption of oligarchs' capital and dependence on Russian gas, he hopes that the West will not have the courage to oppose his actions. He may be right, but his bet poses a serious problem, which sanctions and financial measures alone can not solve in any way. It is necessary to go much further... Read more

In particular, the IOC admires and supports the Russian athletes' calls for peace".FIFA in "advanced talks" to exclude Russia from World CupThe International Football Federation (FIFA) is in "advanced discussions" to suspend the Russian national team from international competitions, including the World Cup, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, AFP learned on Monday from a source with knowledge of the discussions. FIFA is working with the European Confederation (UEFA) to act on this decision, which would exclude Russia from the 2022 World Cup (November 21-December 18), "unless the situation improves," the same source explains.The Russians are scheduled to play a play-off match on March 24 against Poland, but the Poles have repeatedly said that they will refuse to play it, even on neutral ground.Host of the 2018 World Cup, a global event, Russia would find itself isolated by this decision, especially if UEFA confirmed this suspension on a continental scale, which it was about to do on Monday according to a report by the German agency SID.This would result in the Russian women's team being excluded from the Euro in July in England, where they are due to challenge the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland in the group stage.The UEFA decision would also concern Spartak Moscow, engaged in the 8th round of the Europa League, against RB Leipzig.FIFA would thus follow the position of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which...

Kiev is resisting, Mariupol is resisting, Kharkiv is resisting," Borrell said after a meeting of EU Defense Ministers by videoconference.The fighting is causing "many civilian casualties" and "the number of people fleeing the fighting is increasing," he told a news conference."Our support for the Ukrainian forces is crucial," Josep Borrell said, stressing that all Member States agreed to increase it.He had announced on Sunday an agreement of the Twenty-Seven to provide the Ukrainian army with armaments worth 450 million euros, as well as protective equipment and fuel for 50 million."This is the first time in history that we are going to do this," Josep Borrell said."Ukraine has also requested support for geospatial intelligence and we have mobilized our satellite center which is based in Madrid to work on this," he said.When questioned by a journalist, the EU's top diplomat also retracted his statements from the day before regarding the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine. But he did not specify which countries would deliver these devices or by what means."The countries that have them will be able to supply these fighter jets that must be able to be flown by Ukrainian pilots," he said.He welcomed Germany's announcement of an increase in its military budget beyond 2% of its gross domestic product (GDP). According to him, the EU must "spend more, but also spend better".Finally, Josep Borrell stressed the cost of European sanctions for Europeans themselves and the need to prepare public opinion for it."We have a dependence on Russian gas and oil. We will reduce it as quickly as possible, it means developing renewable energies and hydrogen. But there's going to be turbulence in the energy markets. This will increase the prices that will be paid by consumers," he warned."Our actions against Russia will have consequences, and we must be ready for this. If we don't pay this price today, we will pay much more tomorrow," he assured. [ad_2] Read more from this article on www.lalibre.be

This is the highest award related to Olympism and has three levels: bronze, silver and gold.Putin was awarded the Olympic Gold Order in 2001. Two other Russian leaders who were awarded the Olympic Gold Order in 2014 as a result of the Sochi Winter Olympics, Dmitry Chernyshenko and Dmitry Kozak, are also deprived of this distinction. "The IOC Executive Committee has, based on the exceptional circumstances of the situation and taking into account the extremely serious violation of the Olympic Truce and other violations of the Olympic Charter by the Russian government in the past, taken the decision to withdraw the Olympic Order from all persons who currently hold an important position in the government of the Russian Federation or another high-ranking position related to the government," the IOC said in its statement. This military invasion comes at the height of the Olympic truce, traditionally decreed during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It began on February 4 at the opening of the Winter Olympics and is scheduled to end on March 14 on the evening of the closing of the Beijing Winter Paralympics. (Belgium) © 2022 Belga.

source: www.dhnet.be Belgium: 2022-02-28 17: 48: 45 , DH Les Sports+ - Dernières dépèches AFP [ad_1] An outright ban of Russians and Belarusians from world sport for the invasion of Ukraine: the International Olympic Committee's dramatic recommendation on Monday is historic for an organization usually inclined to stay out of politics. The announcements are now likely to follow one another: a source familiar with the matter explained to AFP that Fifa was conducting "advanced discussions" to exclude Russia from the World Cup-2022, a global event of which it was the host in 2018. His potential opponents for the play-offs in March, Poland, the Czech Republic and Sweden, explained that they would not face the Russians under any pretext. To justify its recommendation, which comes a few days before the start of the Paralympic Games (March 4-13), the IOC puts forward a "dilemma": "While athletes from Russia and Belarus could continue to participate in sports events, many Ukrainian athletes are prevented from doing so due to the attack on their country." To solve it, it "recommends that international sports federations and organizers of sports events not invite or allow the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competitions". If the IOC were to be massively followed by international federations, Russia would join Slobodan Milosevic's Yugoslavia and apartheid South Africa in the history of the great outcasts of international sport. - Olympic decoration removed from Putin - In another symbolic but strong move, the IOC also withdrew the "Olympic order" from all senior Russian officials, starting with President Vladimir Putin. However, if "for organizational or legal reasons" it is not possible to prevent the arrival of Russian athletes, the IOC requests that they not be "allowed to participate under the name of Russia or Belarus". The issue is particularly urgent for the Paralympic Games, which start on Friday. "When, in very extreme circumstances", implementing these measures "is not possible in the short term for organizational or legal reasons", the "IOC leaves it to the organization concerned to find its own way". The International Committee "in particular focused on the upcoming Paralympic Winter Games" and "reiterated its full support to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC)" which planned to speak on Wednesday. Support for anti-war sportsmen Another spectacular aspect of the IOC's communication on Monday was its break with its tradition of demanding neutrality from athletes. The IOC thus welcomed "the numerous calls for peace made by athletes, sports officials and members of the world Olympic community". He "in particular admires and supports the calls for peace of Russian athletes," he continued. Tennis player Andrey Rublev, hockey player Alex Ovechkin or cyclist Pavel Sivakov, have made their opposition to the war started by their country clear. They are now threatened with having to pay a high professional price if their federations follow the IOC's recommendations. For the international footballer Fedor Smolov, this is already the case.
