This migrant crisis is different from all others
Esta crise migratória é diferente de todas as outras
2015 was unquestionably the year of the migrant. – 2015 foi inquestionavelmente o ano do migrante.
The news was dominated for months by pictures of vast crowds shuffling through the borders of yet another European country, being treated with brutality in some places and given a reluctant welcome in others. – As notícias foram dominadas durante meses por imagens de vastas multidões atravessando as fronteiras de mais um país europeu, sendo tratadas com brutalidade em alguns lugares e recebidas com relutância noutros.
When researching a report for radio and television about the migrant phenomenon, it is possible to realize that there was nothing new about it. – Ao pesquisar uma reportagem para rádio e televisão sobre o fenômeno migratório, é possível perceber que não havia nada de novo nisso.
For many years, waves of displaced and frightened people have broken over Europe again and again and the images have been strikingly similar each time. – Durante muitos anos, ondas de pessoas deslocadas e assustadas invadiram a Europa repetidas vezes e as imagens foram sempre surpreendentemente semelhantes.
In 1945, __(1)__ the ethnic Germans, forced out of their homes in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia and obliged to seek shelter in a shattered and divided Germany. – Em 1945, HOUVE os alemães étnicos, forçados a abandonar as suas casas na Polônia, Checoslováquia e Rússia e obrigados a procurar abrigo numa Alemanha destruída e dividida.
More recently, we can see floods of Albanian refugees escaping from the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian forces in Kosovo in 1998 and 1999. – Mais recentemente, podemos assistir a inundações de refugiados albaneses que escaparam da limpeza étnica das forças sérvias no Kosovo em 1998 e 1999.
Yet there is one major difference between these waves of migrants in the past and the one we saw in 2015. – No entanto, existe uma grande diferença entre estas ondas de migrantes no passado e aquela que vimos em 2015.
Professor Alex Betts, director of the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University says that it was the first time Europe faced people coming in from the outside in large numbers as refugees. – O professor Alex Betts, diretor do Centro de Estudos de Refugiados da Universidade de Oxford, afirma que foi a primeira vez que a Europa enfrentou pessoas vindas de fora em grande número como refugiados.

European societies are changing very fast, indeed, as a result of immigration. – As sociedades europeias estão, de fato, mudando muito rapidamente, como resultado da imigração.
In London, for instance, more than 300 languages are now spoken, according to a recent academic study. – Em Londres, por exemplo, são faladas mais de 300 línguas, de acordo com um estudo académico recente.
The influx of migrants reinforces people's sense that their identity is under threat. – O afluxo de migrantes reforça a sensação das pessoas de que a sua identidade está ameaçada.
But how can the world deal conclusively with the problem? – Mas como pode o mundo lidar de forma conclusiva com o problema?
The former UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, Sir John Holmes, blames global governance. – O antigo subsecretário-geral da ONU para assuntos humanitários, Sir John Holmes, culpa a governação global.
"Other powers are rising," he says Syria is an example of this. – “Outras potências estão em ascensão”, diz ele. A Síria é um exemplo disso.
"And the United States doesn’t have the influence it once did, so the problem’s not being fixed, no-one's waving the big stick and we’re having to pick up the pieces." – "E os Estados Unidos não têm a influência que tinham antes, por isso o problema não está sendo resolvido, ninguém está acenando com o bastão e temos de juntar os cacos."
We have endured an entire century of exile and homelessness and the cause is always the same - conflict and bad government. – Suportamos um século inteiro de exílio e falta de abrigo e a causa é sempre a mesma: conflitos e mau governo.
Unless these are dealt with, the flow of migrants will never be stopped. – A menos que estas questões sejam resolvidas, o fluxo de migrantes nunca será interrompido.

How Brazil Crowdsourced a Pioneering Law
The passage of the Marco Civil da Internet, an "Internet bill of rights" commonly referred to in English as the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet, demonstrates how the Internet can be used to rejuvenate democratic governance in the digital age. The law is important not only for its content, but for the innovative and participatory way it was written, bypassing traditional modes of legislation-making to go directly to the country’s citizens. At a moment when governments of all kinds are viewed as increasingly distant from ordinary people, Brazil's example makes an argument that democracy offers a way forward.
The pioneering law was signed in 2014 and has three components. First, it safeguards privacy by restricting the ability of private corporations and the government to store Internet users’ browsing histories. Second, it mandates a judicial review of requests to remove potentially offensive or illegal material, including content that infringes copyrights. And third, it prohibits Internet service providers from manipulating data transfer speeds for commercial purposes. The bill was acclaimed by activists as an example the rest of the world should follow.
What makes this law even more interesting is that it became one of the largest-ever experiments in crowdsourcing legislation. The law’s original text was written through a website that allowed individual citizens and organizations — including NGOs, businesses, and political parties — to interact with one another and publicly debate the law’s content. This process was markedly different from the traditional method of writing bills “behind closed doors” in the halls of Congress, a process that favored well-connected families and large corporations.
Policymakers in
other countries have tried to capture citizen input using social media before,
but never on this scale, in a country of roughly 200 million people. Whether it
would succeed was far from certain. During the website's public launch, in
2009, one of the government lawyers summed up the organizers' high hopes:
"This experience could transform the way we discuss not just legislation
about the Internet, but also the way we discuss other bills in Brazil, and, in
so doing, reconfigure our democracy."

How Brazil Crowdsourced a Pioneering Law
Como o Brasil solicitou a colaboração do público para fazer uma lei pioneira
The passage of the Marco Civil da Internet, an "Internet bill of rights" commonly referred to in English as the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet, demonstrates how the Internet can be used to rejuvenate democratic governance in the digital age. – A aprovação do Marco Civil da Internet, uma “declaração de direitos da Internet” comumente referida em inglês como Estrutura Brasileira de Direitos Civis para a Internet, demonstra como a Internet pode ser usada para rejuvenescer a governança democrática na era digital.
The law is important not only for its content, but for the innovative and participatory way it was written, bypassing traditional modes of legislation-making to go directly to the country’s citizens. – A lei é importante não só pelo seu conteúdo, mas pela forma inovadora e participativa como foi redigida, contornando os modos tradicionais de elaboração de legislação para ir diretamente aos cidadãos do país.
At a moment when governments of all kinds are viewed as increasingly distant from ordinary people, Brazil's example makes an argument that democracy offers a way forward. – Num momento em que governos de todos os tipos são vistos como cada vez mais distantes das pessoas comuns, o exemplo do Brasil argumenta que a democracia oferece um caminho a seguir.
The pioneering law was signed in 2014 and has three components. – A lei pioneira foi assinada em 2014 e tem três componentes.
First, it safeguards privacy by restricting the ability of private corporations and the government to store Internet users’ browsing histories. – Primeiro, salvaguarda a privacidade ao restringir a capacidade das empresas privadas e do governo de armazenar os históricos de navegação dos utilizadores da Internet.
Second, it mandates a judicial review of requests to remove potentially offensive or illegal material, including content that infringes copyrights. – Em segundo lugar, exige uma revisão judicial dos pedidos de remoção de material potencialmente ofensivo ou ilegal, incluindo conteúdo que infrinja direitos de autor.
And third, it prohibits Internet service providers from manipulating data transfer speeds for commercial purposes. – E terceiro, proíbe os provedores de serviços de Internet de manipular as velocidades de transferência de dados para fins comerciais.
The bill was acclaimed by activists as an example the rest of the world should follow. – O projeto de lei foi aclamado por ativistas como um exemplo que o resto do mundo deveria seguir.
What makes this law even more interesting is that it became one of the largest-ever experiments in crowdsourcing legislation. – O que torna esta lei ainda mais interessante é que ela se tornou uma das maiores experiências de sempre em legislação de crowdsourcing.
The law’s original text was written through a website that allowed individual citizens and organizations — including NGOs, businesses, and political parties — to interact with one another and publicly debate the law’s content. – O texto original da lei foi escrito através de um website que permitia que cidadãos e organizações individuais — incluindo ONG, empresas e partidos políticos — interagissem entre si e debatessem publicamente o conteúdo da lei.
This process was markedly different from the traditional method of writing bills “behind closed doors” in the halls of Congress, a process that favored well-connected families and large corporations. – Este processo foi marcadamente diferente do método tradicional de redigir projetos de lei “a portas fechadas” nos corredores do Congresso, um processo que favorecia famílias bem relacionadas e grandes empresas.
Policymakers in other countries have tried to capture citizen input using social media before, but never on this scale, in a country of roughly 200 million people. Whether it would succeed was far from certain. – Os legisladores de outros países já tentaram captar a opinião dos cidadãos através das redes sociais, mas nunca a esta escala, num país com cerca de 200 milhões de habitantes.

Operation Desert Storm Was Not Won By Smart Weaponry Alone
Technology has long been a deciding factor on the battlefield, from powerful artillery to new weaponry to innovations in the seas and the skies. Twenty-five years ago, it was no different, as the United States and its allies proved overwhelmingly successful in the Persian Gulf War. A coalition of U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters, cruise missiles from naval vessels, and Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk "stealth fighters" soundly broke through Saddam Hussein's army defenses in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm, which became known as the "100-hour war".
But for all the
possibilities that this "Computer War" offered, Operation Desert
Storm was not won by smart weaponry, alone. Despite the "science
fiction"-like technology deployed, 90 percent of the pieces of ammunition
used in Desert Storm were actually "dumb weapons". The bombs, which
weren’t guided by lasers or satellites, were lucky to get within half a
kilometer of their targets after they were dumped from planes. While dumb bombs
might not have been exciting enough to make the headlines during the attack,
they were cheaper to produce and could be counted on to work. But frequency of
use doesn’t change why history will remember Desert Storm for its smart
weapons, rather than its dumb ones.

Operation Desert Storm Was Not Won By Smart Weaponry Alone
A Operação "Tempestade no Deserto" não foi vencida somente por armamento inteligente
Technology has long been a deciding factor on the battlefield, from powerful artillery to new weaponry to innovations in the seas and the skies. – A tecnologia tem sido há muito tempo um factor decisivo no campo de batalha, desde a poderosa artilharia até ao novo armamento e às inovações nos mares e nos céus.
Twenty-five years ago, it was no different, as the United States and its allies proved overwhelmingly successful in the Persian Gulf War. – Há vinte e cinco anos, não era diferente, pois os Estados Unidos e os seus aliados revelaram-se predominantemente bem sucedidos na Guerra do Golfo Pérsico.
A coalition of U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters, cruise missiles from naval vessels, and Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk "stealth fighters" soundly broke through Saddam Hussein's army defenses in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm, which became known as the "100-hour war". – Uma coalizão de helicópteros de ataque Apache do Exército dos EUA, mísseis de cruzeiro de navios de guerra e "caças furtivos" Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk rompeu profundamente as defesas do exército de Saddam Hussein no Kuwait durante a Operação Tempestade no Deserto, que ficou conhecida como a "guerra das 100 horas".

Would it be wrong to eradicate mosquitoes?
The mosquito is
the most dangerous animal in the world, carrying diseases that kill one million
people a year. Now the Zika virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, has been
linked with thousands of babies born with brain defects in South America. There
are 3,500 known species of mosquitoes, but only the females from just 6% of
species draw blood from humans - to help them develop their eggs. Of these,
just half carry parasites that cause human diseases.
More than a million people, mostly from poorer nations, die each year from
mosquito-borne diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever. Some
mosquitoes also carry the Zika virus, which was first thought to cause only
mild fever and rashes. However, scientists are now worried that it can damage
babies in the womb. There's a constant effort to educate people to use nets and
other tactics to avoid being bitten. But would it just be simpler to make an
entire species of disease-carrying mosquito extinct?
In Britain, scientists at Oxford University and the biotech firm Oxitec have
genetically modified (GM) the males of Aedes aegypti - a mosquito species that
carries both the Zika and Dengue viruses. These GM males carry a gene that
stops their offspring from
developing properly. This second generation of mosquitoes then die before they
can reproduce and become carriers of disease themselves.
So are there any downsides to removing mosquitoes? Mosquitoes, which mostly
feed on plant nectar, are important pollinators. They are also a food source
for birds and bats while their young - as larvae - are consumed by fish and
frogs. This could have an effect further ahead
in the food chain. Mosquitoes also have limited the destructive impact of
humanity on nature. Mosquitoes make tropical rainforests, for humans, virtually
uninhabitable. Rainforests are home to a large share of our total plant and
animal species, and nothing has done more to delay man-made destruction over
the past 10,000 years than the mosquito.
