Muore in incidente a 13 anni. Il padre posta un suo video al piano: "Voleva essere famosa"
L'olandese Anna Van Keulen aveva solo 13 anni. Due settimane fa è stata investita da un'auto mentre era in bici, a Tilburg, suo paese natale. Dopo giorni di lotta tra la vita e la morte per lei non c'è stato nulla da fare. Mercoledì il padre, Niek, ha pubblicato su Youtube, tramite il suo account Twitter, un video che ritrae la piccola Anna mentre suona al pianoforte la sigla della celebre serie tv "Downtown Abbey". "Mia figlia Anna voleva essere famosa - spiega l'uomo - ora è morta... Aiutatela a realizzare questo sogno".
Chile's 'Children of Silence' seek truth
Nearly four decades have passed, but Cecilia Rojas cries for her son as if she had lost him yesterday. Rojas, a 58-year-old resident of the Chilean capital of Santiago, said her baby was taken shortly after she gave birth. He was born two months early, but doctors and nurses assured Rojas that he was healthy and would soon be sent home with her.
"The nurse put the baby on my chest while she finished the paperwork," Rojas recalled in an emotional interview with CNN. "Then she told me they were going to take him to an incubator because he was a little small." She would never see him again. The next morning, a nurse told Rojas the infant had died. Her requests to view his body were denied, Rojas said. She was never given a death certificate.

Franco Zeffirelli takes on La Scala: Legendary opera director in battle with theatre over sale of one of his 'greatest' productions to Kazakhstan
The fur is flying at Milan’s La Scala, with the celebrated lyric theatre caught in a cat fight with opera legend Franco Zeffirelli.
The prickly, 91-year-old director has expressed outrage at the way he says one of his “greatest” productions, the 2006 version of Aida, has been flogged off to a theatre in Astana, Kazakhstan, without his say-so.He said in an open letter that the sale of the rights and props to the Astana theatre had doomed his work to an “infamous and brutal” fate, and he threatened to call in the lawyers. He didn’t say why Kazakhs should not be allowed to enjoy his classic production.
The ploy by the Milan opera house was, he said, part of a plan by the institution’s managers to airbrush him from Italian opera history.“I have seen a sort of vendetta on the part of the brainboxes of La Scala who regard me as an artist to forget,” Mr Zeffirelli told The Independent. “We’re talking about, in reality, with all due humility, the greatest production of this masterpiece that I’ve ever brought to the public. They really should have consulted me. After all this time with La Scala, they should have shown more respect. I am seeing my lawyers.”La Scala insisted that the sale to the Kazakh theatre – where Aida debuts on 19 November – has fully protected the rights of Mr Zeffirelli and the costume designer Maurizio Millenotti, both of whom have already been contacted by the Astana opera house to organise their due payments.La Scala said that the Kazakh institution had even asked Mr Zeffirelli to come over to Astana to advise them. As a result, La Scala chiefs have expressed “bitterness and disbelief” at Mr Zeffirelli’s claims; not unlike the bitterness and disbelief shown by the opera house’s notoriously bolshie audience, which booed off the sub-par second tenor on the sophomore night of the original production. He had to be replaced at the last minute by his substitute in jeans.
But there’s no doubting the huge success of the production, which has proven a money-spinner for La Scala with 47 performances since 2006. This week’s developments suggest, though, that the long and fruitful collaboration between the celebrated opera house and the great director, which began in 1953 with Mr Zeffirelli designing costumes, is now at an end, La Stampa newspaper said.Mr Zeffirelli is also celebrated for his film career. His leading achievements in cinema include his 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, and the previous year’s The Taming of the Shrew, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Russian oligarch Yevtushenkov ordered to hand over oil company shares to the state
Russian billionaire oligarch Vladimir Yevtushenkov has suffered another legal defeat. Moscow’s Arbitration Court has ruled the stake he holds in a privatised oil producer – Bashneft – must be given back to the state. The judge agreed with prosecutors that Bashneft was illegally privatised without federal government approval over a decade ago before being sold to Yevtushenkov’s company Sistema in 2009. Sistema, which denies the allegations, has one month to appeal against the decision. Yevtushenkov, who is one of Russia’s richest men, is currently under house arrest in a separate case on suspicion of money laundering related to the purchase of Bashneft. The case has worried many in Russia’s business community and deepen investors’ fears that the Kremlin wants to reclaim prized assets. Some see echoes of the events surrounding Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s richest man. He was jailed on fraud and tax evasion charges after falling out with President Vladimir Putin and his Yukos oil company seized by the government.

Nato in allerta, ondata di caccia russi nei cieli Ue
Una "significativa e insolita" attività militare russa nello spazio aereo europeo mette in allerta la Nato e l'aviazione civile, a causa della "considerevole" attività di Mosca 'invisibile' ai radar che controllano il traffico aereo nei cieli d'Europa. Oltre 26 aerei da guerra russi, fa sapere la Nato, hanno volato nelle ultime 48 ore su Mar Baltico, Mar Nero, Mare del Nord e Oceano Atlantico, con "potenziali rischi per l'aviazione civile perché non hanno piani di volo e non usano trasponder, quindi il controllo aereo civile non può vederli né assicurare che non interferiscano con i voli civili". Manovre che però non interessano lo spazio aereo italiano, precisa l'Enav. L'incursione russa nei cieli europei è iniziata "alle tre del mattino di oggi", riferisce la Nato, senza precisare se tuttavia i velivoli siano ancora in volo o meno.

Realizzato in parte in fibra di carbonio ed elementi prodotti con una stampante 3D, costerà circa 21.200 dollari
