60 percent of Scots want independence referendum before 2025 –
Some 60 percent of Scots want to see a second independence referendum within ten years, with an additional 19 percent keen to see a rerun of the vote sometime after that, a Survation poll suggests.
Last year saw 45 percent of Scottish people reject independence from the UK in a ballot which yielded an 85 percent turnout – the highest in any UK vote since 1918.
The poll also found that the Scottish National Party (SNP) had grown in popularity since their massive general election win earlier this year. Projections show the anti-austerity party would take 56 percent of the vote, amounting to 71 seats, if the 2016 Scottish Parliamentary elections if were to be held today.

Condannato a 4 anni Oskar Gröning, il "contabile di Auschwitz"
Oskar Gröning è forse l'ultimo nazista che abbia avuto un ruolo attivo nell'olocausto sebbene non sembra abbia mai ucciso pesonalmente nessuno.
La sentenza a 4 anni è stata letta nell’aula di un tribunale ricavato da una piccola sala per le riunioni a Lüneburg, nel nord della Germania. L'uomo ha 94 anni. Poiché aveva lavorato in precedenza in una banca, il suo compito ad Auschwitz era quello di gestire i beni tolti ai deportati prima che questi venissero uccisi, in particolare il denaro.

Migliaia in piazza in Iran per festeggiare l'accordo sul nucleare
Una notte di festa, piena di suoni, di colori, come dopo la vittoria di una partita importante. A Teheran, e in tutte le altre città, si festeggia l'accordo sul nucleare tra Iran e 5+1. Le celebrazioni sono andate avanti per ore. La gente canta in coro l'inno nazionale e inneggia al presidente Rohani.
Forse non sono neanche così tanto interessati alla questione nucleare, ma è la voglia di cambiamento che festeggiano e la speranza che le condizioni dell'accordo portino prosperità.

Auschwitz accountant gets four years for working at death camp
A 94-year-old former bookkeeper at Auschwitz has been sentenced to four years in prison in what could be one of the last big Holocaust trials. Oskar Groening had been accused of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 people, although he did not personally kill anybody. He was 21, and by his own admission an enthusiastic Nazi, when he was sent to work at Auschwitz in 1942.

Trailer with 16,500 liters of gasoline explodes in Norway underwater tunnel
A petrol tanker trailer has detached from its truck in a tunnel in Bremanger and exploded after 16,500 liters of gas were released. The driver managed to escape the inferno as the truck had already managed to detach from his load. The incident took place at the Skate Saraum tunnel that partially goes underwater. A petrol tanker was travelling through the tunnel and the trailer became dislodged from the truck, which continued to drive down the road. The trailer then crashed and exploded, after thousands of liters of gasoline had been split.
The driver of the tanker Tore Myrestrand told a local newspaper that while travelling through the deepest part of the tunnel, the trailer detached from the truck. He saw that the detached tanker began to hit the rocky wall and that gasoline began to spill out. He carried on driving the truck up the tunnel, and proceeded to block off the road to ensure that cars travelling in the opposite direction would be kept safe.

NASA probe "phones home" after surviving flyby with Pluto
About 13 hours after its closest approach to the dwarf planet, news that the craft was still intact was vital to the mission with 99 percent of the data gathered during the encounter still on the space ship. Managers had estimated there was a 1-in-10,000 chance a debris strike could destroy New Horizons as it soared just 12,472 km from Pluto. It will take about 16 months for the probe to transmit back all the thousands of images and measurements taken during its pass by of Pluto. By then the spacecraft will have travelled even deeper into the Kuiper Belt heading for a possible follow-on mission to one of Pluto’s cousins .
