Ukraine imposes total flight ban on Russia
Ukraine has completely closed its airspace to Russian airlines, including overflights, according to Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk.
"Russian airlines and Russian aircraft are not entitled to use Ukrainian airspace anymore," announced Yatsenyuk during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
According to Ukraine's Prime Minister, the decision was made because Moscow didn’t suspend its ban on Ukrainian airlines. He added that the Ukrainian government has instructed the country’s state air traffic service to inform Moscow about the flight ban.

The media bias between Paris and Beirut - The Listening Post (Lead)
In the midst of the Paris attacks, more than 4 million people checked-in to Facebook to mark themselves as "safe" after the social media site activated its rarely-used Safety Check tool.It also introduced a feature that allowed users to overlay the colours of the French flag on their profile pictures to express solidarity with the victims of the attacks.These features prompted many to question a potential double standard: Where were they when dozens were killed in bomb blasts in Beirut a day earlier, or when 149 people lost their lives in Garissa, Kenya back in April?Critics accused the site of valuing the lives of Western victims more than those in the Middle East and other regions. Meanwhile, journalists covering the story were accused of making unfair accusations, using divisive terminology and xenophobic reactions

Quando l'amore é musica del Tango - Intervista a Mariel Martinez
UNA DE LAS VOCES MAS EMERGENTS DE CANTO PORTEÑO
MARIEL MARTINEZ
En las decenas de
veces que hemos asistido a un concierto de música de tango con solistas y
orquesta, siempre nos habíamos preguntado cual es el lugar que ocupa un
cantante en una música que usualmente es de baile. Recordando una antigua
entrevista que un reportero realizó a la gran cantante italiana Milva (famosa
por cantar Bertold Brecht), en la que ella definió el cantar la música de Astor
Piazzolla como un orgasmo, tuvimos nosotros la oportunidad de entrevistar,
justo antes de a su vez viaje a Argentina, a una de las voces más emergentes de
canto porteño, Mariel Martínez.
De voz cálida y bien afinada, con carácter profundo y
su dulce cara siempre sonriente, muy teatral y hábil en su repertorio. Con sus
canciones, su forma de ser y apariencia, te pierdes en lo que es la música del
tango.
De voz
cálida y bien afinada, con carácter profundo y su dulce cara siempre sonriente,
muy teatral y hábil en su repertorio. Con sus canciones, su forma de ser y
apariencia, te pierdes en lo que es la música del tango.
Nacida
en Buenos Aires y viviendo en Madrid desde 2002, Mariel Martínez es la cantante
de tango mas famosa en Europa. Cuenta con 5 discos producidos por Litto Nebbia
que se venden en Argentina, Francia, España para el sello discográfico Melopea,
por su álbum “Esos otros Tangos” fue nominada como mejor artista femenina de
Tango para los Premios Gardel 2014 .
Además
de esto, Mariel ha participado en muchas recopilaciones, en DVDs y libros de
Tango como artista invitada. En los últimos tres años con su trío o a dúo con
el guitarrista Alejandro Picciano, presentó sus registros en los mejores
teatros de España, Argentina, Francia, Italia, Rusia, Republica Checa y
Portugal, sino también en Marruecos y Alemania .
Su
carrera está en constante expansión y dirigida a la consolidación de una
experiencia larga y fructífera, que continuará incluso en 2016, con otros
conciertos que presentará en España, Rusia, Portugal y Ecuador.
Entrevistada
por muchas estaciones de radio y televisión en España y Argentina, Mariel dio
paso a nosotros de INC News, para mostrar como lo importante en la carrera de
una cantante además de la voz es la propia personalidad del Tango, y para dar
una presentación de sí misma hermosa, una mujer sencilla, una cantante
enamorada de su trabajo y con alta cultura musical.
El 2016
estará lleno de actividades y a su vez en su mundo del canto, seguirá
trabajando en satisfacer su carácter terco y combativo para llevarlo al éxito,
debido a su constante atención en el estudio de un pedazo de canción artística
que no es fácil de llegar al conjunto de los jóvenes modernos.
1--Me
siento una fuente Tanguera, canto como una forma de arte, la canción es mi
forma de expresar mi amor por Argentina.
2- Mi experiencia más hermosa fue
sin duda de haber cantado en Rusia.
3- Al cantar Tango lo mas importante
es la interpretación del repertorio, sin duda, mucho más que la música en sí y
que la propia voz, lo más importante es la poesía.
4- Mi vida es mi carrera y mi
carrera es mi vida. Me gusta viajar, hace bastante tiempo que llevo la cámara
de vídeo a todos lados. También me gustaría ser actriz, hacer películas, pero
creo que lo primero es confirmar un buen nivel como cantante y artista, luego veremos.

Counting the Cost - Dubai Airshow and the battle for the skies
In this special edition from the Dubai Airshow, we look at the impact of falling oil prices on the aviation market, the subsidies row surrounding three Gulf carriers and the future of the airline industry.Two years ago, the bi-annual event made headlines after Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways made orders over $150bn pushing them to the forefront of global aviation.Since then, falling oil prices have left the airlines in a stronger position but unrest in some parts of the region have taken their toll.Some of the biggest players in the business, Tim Clark, the president of Emirates Airline and Akbar al-Baker, the CEO of Qatar Airways tell Counting the Cost's Kamahl Santamaria how they are maintaining altitude in these turbulent times.We also speak to al-Baker about the subsidies row where he addresses accusations by US carriers that Qatar Airways received billions of dollars in state support allowing it to lower ticket prices and lure customers away from the US and Europe.

In Search of Putin's Russia - Reclaiming the Empire
Twenty-five years after the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia seems to be on the rise once again, reasserting itself as a regional and global military power.Looking at its intervention in eastern Ukraine and the volatile civil war in Syria, this episode of In Search of Putin's Russia sees journalist and filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov explore Russia's attempts to rebuild its standing in the world by confronting unrest at its borders and beyond.But why is Putin so determined to involve the country in international conflicts?Nekrasov tries to find out if the idea of annexing Crimea is one shared by the population at large and reflects a nostalgia for the glory days of Russia's past.We meet Ukrainians who have fled to Russia, obtained citizenship and refuse to go back.Nekrasov visits the Republic of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region adjacent to war-torn Chechnya which has become the most violent province in the North Caucasus.We meet residents who have endured years of oppression, had their homes vandalised and destroyed by the state to quell dissent. Does the biggest threat to Russia's grand ambitions actually come from within?
