Morsi vows 'no second revolution'
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, Morsi rejects challenge to call elections, setting the stage for a showdown in the streets
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, promised that there will not be a second revolution in Egypt, as thousands were planning to gather outside the presidential palace, demanding its withdrawal after one year in power.
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, Morsi rejected opposition calls for early presidential elections and said he would not tolerate any deviation from the constitutional order. He said his early resignation would undermine the legitimacy of his successors, creating a recipe for endless chaos.
"If we change someone in the office who [was chosen] according to the constitutional legitimacy - so there will be people who opposed the new president also, a week or a months later, you will be asked to resign "Morsi said.
"There is no place for any speech against the constitutional legitimacy. Maybe demonstrations and people expressing their opinions. But what is essential in all of this is the adoption and the implementation of the Constitution. This This is the critical point. "
At least seven people died and over 600 were injured in clashes between Islamist allies Morsi and secular opposition in recent days.
With tensions rise on Sunday Morsi defiance paves the way for a showdown that is played in the streets of Cairo, in front of his official residence. Once assembled, the opposition have pledged not to leave until he resigns.
The man at the center of a national storm seems strangely confident and resilience. When asked if he was sure that the army should not intervene to control a country that had become unmanageable, Morsi said: "Very."
But the conduct of revenge Morsi assured the tense atmosphere around him Saturday afternoon. Morsi met back-to-back with senior government officials, including Prime Minister Hisham Qandil, the interior minister, Mohamed Ibrahim and several senior officers, including the chief of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah Sisi - whose comments in recent days have caused widespread hopes ambiguous in the ranks of the opposition to military intervention.
Morsi had disappeared Itahadiya palace, the president, who is currently surrounded by concrete walls protests interim forecast Sunday traditional seat. Instead, he held court Saturday Quba Palace, the birthplace of Farouq -. The last king of Egypt
Morsi said communication channels private Egyptians had exaggerated the strength of their opponents, and blamed the violence this week to loyal to former President Hosni Mubarak officials.
He said the media had been "little violence, and extended as if the whole country lives in the violence." He rejected the organic nature of the opposition to his regime, and said that the fight had been coordinated by the "deep state and the remnants of the old regime" who paid thugs to attack supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood .
"They have money and they got money from corruption. They used the money to retire corrupt regime, and pull the old regime. They pay money to corrupt thugs and then the violence takes place. "
president declined to name the countries that interfere in the affairs of Egypt, but he said what was happening. When asked whether he was referring to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Morsi said: "No, I'm talking in general terms, every revolution has its enemies, and there are people who try to stand in the way of the Egyptian people for democracy .. I'm not saying that this is acceptable, but everywhere we look. "
Morsi has admitted for the first time in the English media that he regretted making a statement which gave broad constitutional powers - a move that the opposition considered dictatorial, and soon canceled. That was the turning points of his first year, sow the seeds of widespread towards their government dissent.
"contributed to some type of error in the company," said Mursi, away from one of the most controversial provisions of the new Constitution Islamist bent, allowing a more high religious participation in the Egyptian law. "It is not me who changed this article. I do not interfere in the work of the Constitutional Commission. Certainly not. "
Even now, Morsi said the offer of dialogue with members of the opposition remained open -. Although the opposition say that these meetings are a waste of time because Morsi only lip service to their views

He played chess in Wormwood Scrubs with another interior minister John Stonehouse.

House rejects amendment to food in local markets instead of buying food aid and the American ship
The U.S. House of Representatives A Wednesday rejected an amendment to the farm bill to promote the use of locally grown in the poorest countries of the controversial practice of sending food products grown in the United States.
Class Actfood aid reform, presented by Ed Royce, the House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman affairs, Karen Bass, the House subcommittee eliminated food aid is grown in United States and transported on US-flag vessels.
United Statesprovides about half of global food aid to an estimated $ 2 billion annual cost. But unlike many other major donors, almost all of the U.S. food aid is "tied" and must be purchased from U.S. suppliers and transported in American ships - even if there are cheaper alternatives. Critics have complained for years that the program is both social welfare for American businesses and help people suffering from hunger abroad.
A Guardian analysis of hundreds of food aid contracts awarded by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2010-11 U.S. showed that two thirds of the food aid program to one billion dollars in 2011 was purchased only three U.S. multinational - The very profitable and politically powerful that dominate world trade in cereals.

Why France is suffering from organ failure
outdated and expensive to repair, Paris religious organizations are facing a bleak future
The December 12, 2012, after 10 months of restoration and silence, the great organ of Notre-Dame de Paris - the largest in France, with five manuals, 109 stops and about 8,000 tubes - opened the celebrations of the 850th anniversary of the cathedral. But this tree, which is public property, is a forest of 234 other agencies in the capital, many of them in poor condition. Of these, 126 (including 32 historic buildings) are the responsibility of the council under the 1905 law separating church and state.
"Paris has the privilege of being a public authority which holds most of the organs in the world," says Catherine Hubault, director of the Heritage Council and the Department of History. "Our annual budget € 250,000 ($ 320,000) is sufficient for about 15 instruments reduced maintenance. But we need to plan the restoration work that can cost, depending on the instrument, between € 500,000 and € 1.5 million was the case for organs of St. Louis en l'Ile, which was restored in 2004. since we spent about € 3.5 million. "
The budget is totally inadequate, according to Eric Brottier expert body to the city council. He made a complete inventory when he started working in 2005. "The situation is alarming," he said. "Two-thirds of organizations in need of major repairs, so that all we can do is to patch the most urgent attention."
the outlook is bleak. The funds allocated to the religious heritage of the city have fallen over the past 15 years. "Between 2000 and 2013, the amount was reduced by € 120 million to € 60 million, while the overall budget has increased from three billion to € 8 billion €" said Maxime Cumunel, director of the Observatory of the Religious Heritage (OPR).
outside dust from the normal wear and pollution in cities are key factors in the deterioration of organs. Neither heating systems dry air help.
Brottier complains that the bodies are usually poorly maintained by the parishes. In addition, "the repair work on the rest of the building often damages the instruments that are not protected," he added. "A Saint-Pierre de Montrouge, found a lot of sand and stones inside the body after work on the steeple." 0Setting financial concerns aside, the image of the organ has lost its luster. "Organists do everything to change attitudes, but most people associate with. Besides religious complex instruments that are mysterious, often considered boring," says Benjamin Alard, organist of the church of Saint-Louis-en- Island, which has a beautiful display built by Bernard Aubertin. fall between two stools - the artistic religious party - organizations are increasingly marginalized as church attendance decreases France. "Given the choice between public good and repairing bodies, local councils for the welfare forever," said Cumunel. "For organizations to justify subsidies must serve a social purpose, which is used for concerts and teaching."
