Brazil Plans to Implement a Control Center on Border with Argentina and Paraguay

FOLHA ONLINE 03/20/2015

The Brazilian government started negotiations with Argentina to implement a Center of Integrated Command and Control in the Triple Border -which unites the two countries and Paraguay- as a way to intensify anti-smuggling efforts in the area.

The information was given on Thursday (19) by the Minister of Justice José Eduardo Cardozo, at a forum held by Folha in São Paulo, entitled "Smuggling in Brazil".


The idea is to bring the police forces of the three countries which could draw together intelligence and enforcement operations. The neighbors could help each other also with commercial information and immigration in the region.

Crack seizures on the main border between Brazil and Paraguay have soared in the last five years 

"Even if we put a man every 50 feet along the border, it would not be enough supervision. We need intelligence," the minister said.

He said that border control is one of the main problems faced by Brazil in regards to public safety, and the solution would come from integrated actions combined with the use of technology.

According to the Brazilian proposal, Paraguay would be exempt from the project cost, which would be funded by Brazil and Argentina, the minister said.

The experience derived from the Integrated Centers erected in the 12 host cities for the World Cup was considered successful and inspired the idea of a unified initiative between the three countries.

The region of the Triple Border, where the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu is located, is a major entry point for smuggled goods in the country. Most come from Paraguay.

Life With Stephen Hawking

In 2013, the remarkable life of cosmologist Stephen Hawking was the subject of a documentary called, quite simply, Hawking. Now it is the subject of a feature film. It's called The Theory of Everything and it’s directed by James Marsh. The film is based on the memoir of Hawking’s first wife, Jane Hawking, who met her husband at Cambridge in the 1960s. In the film Jane Hawking is played by Felicity Jones, who says:

FELICITY: I think there was an immediate sexual attraction, but at the same time there was a meeting of minds, and I think they challenged each other as well, I think there was a competitiveness between them, which often, when two people who are quite different… and I think it was that difference between them that brought them together.

But the young couple hadn’t been together very long before Stephen Hawking was diagnosed as having Motor Neurone Disease, also known as ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. In The Theory of Everything Stephen Hawking is played by Eddie Redmayne, who talked about the physicist’s famous voice machine:

EDDIE: His relationship with the voice; I mean, the voice itself. It had never occurred to me when I got this part, “Why has Stephen Hawking got an American voice?” And the answer was, that was the first technology that came, and because his voice then became so related to… or his icon became so related to that voice, he’s never wanted to change it because that’s what we know as his new identity, and vocal identity, and my God is identity important!

Jane Hawking nursed her husband for many years and, as Felicity Jones says, they managed to maintain a sense of humour.

FELICITY: That’s so important, and that’s what we’ve wanted in telling this story is how both Jane and Stephen are absolutely hilarious , they have a very dry sense of humour, a very English sense of humour, and I think that’s partly what enabled them to cope with such difficult circumstances was that there’s always a witticism about it, and meeting Stephen, he was incredibly witty and insightful ... and a very dry sense of humour.

Stephen and Jane Hawking divorced in the 1990s and Jane subsequently published her memoir as Music to the Stars. It was later revised and republished as Travelling to Infinity. Both titles reflect Stephen Hawking’s status as the world’s most important living scientist. As Eddie Redmayne says, this is a remarkable achievement , under the circumstances

EDDIE: The astounding thing is that Stephen Hawking was given two years to live aged 21, and he’s now 71, 72. I mean, it’s against all odds , and it’s a staggering thing, and whether it is to do with his passion, his drive, his outlook on life, his humour, the specific strain of what the disease is, no one knows, but it’s a staggering thing, and he is a great icon of hope.
