To reply to Oscar Gimeno, 11.12.12., in Wales, a country within the United Kingdom, many job applicants are required to have a command of the welsh language as well as english.

The Palestinian people at last have more support from the Arab countries with the disbursement of USD 100 million per month and further investments into Gaza so that the people there can start to get out of their misery due to the blockade imposed by Israel.

The opening of the Rafah crossing in Egypt permanently due to Mohammed Mursi decision and the support they are getting from the Muslim Brotherhood it makes the long suffering of the Gaza people somehow alleviated, they have been living on the stone age for quite a long time in spite of efforts from some countries in Europe, Arabs and others to try and make their pledge for freedom possible.

After the last exchange of rockets, missiles and massive destruction lets hope that the peace prevails between the democratically elected Hamas movement and Israel and in spite of the undermining of the peace process by the building of new homes in Palestinian lands, it may still there be a possibility that one day they can live together side by side in harmony, that is if the outside influences in the ongoing Arab spring being influenced by more radical fundamentalist elements in the neighboring countries.

Please will you tell your sport reporters that when giving out timings and lengths, for ski jumps for example, that after a decimal point it is wrong to use words like twenty, fifty etc.
. E.g. 34.36 metres ishould be spoken as thirty four point three six, not …point thirty six. Thirty is only used for multiples of ten in the whole numbers part of a number, not in the tenths column after the decimal point. This is basic maths that primary school teachers teach all the time. We don’t expect television reporters to get it wrong, setting a bad example to our students.
Thank you.

Please provide more news from the Philippines, China, and southeast Asia. CCTV News provides the most southeast Asian news coverage but we would like to see the euronews perspective on issues in the area. Thank you.

Re-reading your letter of 10.10.12. PetruYanish reminds me that you do not see things as they really are. The problem this creates in reading your statements is that they cannot be taken seriously!

Spain Catalonia autonomous Region is breaking the law by insinuating that they want to break away from Spain or basically declaring secession and separation from the Spanish territory, that is against what is established in the Constitution and the Spanish Government has all the right to use all means to ensure that the separatists do not act unilaterally breaking the law.

Until now they have been the most privileged autonomous Region getting major investments allocated from the central government, now they even want to declare their Catalan dialect as the main language in Catalonia which again, it goes against the Spanish Constitution.

Let’s face the fact; That Uranium fuelled nuclear energy has shown to be a most harmfull one, that should be replaced by the almost“green” Thorium fuelled nuclear energy for the 21st century ! Why do the European industries wait for the Chineese – Indian developments of commercial variaties of this energy supply ?

I would like to ask whether it is legal that some Spanish counties make compulsory the knowledge of the local language (Catalan, Valenciano…), on top of Spanish, in order to get a job as a civil servant.

Thankfully,

Hello euronews:
It was good to see sports coverage of the KHL ice hockey. Why is there not more coverage of the various European leagues? Ice hockey has a huge following but is absent from euronews coverage – there is more to winter sports than skiing and biatholon. Please consider adding ice hockey to sports coverage. Thanks.

Greetings,
here: euronews.com/nocomment/2012/12/09/police-protect-gay-activists-from-radical-opponents-in-ukraine/ (“Police protect gay activists from radical opponents in Ukraine”)
you wrote that “Police prevent clashes between gay protesters and radical anti-gay activists during unsanctioned gay protest in Ukaine’s capital Kiev”. Actually, this is not correct.
First of all, the protest WAS sanctioned. The protest that was banned by the court the day before was to take place at Khreshchatyk street. However, the organizers made another application to the City Hall so as to make a protest on Shevchenko’s boulevard, where the protest took place. As the application was made, the protest WAS legal.
Second, the police did not protect the demonstrators as they should. After the provocation by neo-nazi was made, the police took 6 peaceful demonstrators and only 2 nazis to the truck. After that, the police did not let other activists who wanted to join the demonstrators into the ring. However, they let in some more nazi provokers (they used the “Svoboda” party journalist certificates to get in), who then sprayed gas into the demonstrators.
