Monday September 1, 2008

  • Berlin / Germany : Since today need foreigners in Germany for naturalization a nationwide citizenship test made. This consists of 33 questions that are selected at random from a catalog of 310 questions. 17 answers must be correct.
  • Lushan / China : The 108.5  m high statue of the Zhongyuan Buddha is completed in Lushan County in central China .
  • New Orleans / United States : Hurricane Gustav , which has already caused many deaths in the Caribbean , reaches the mainland east of New Orleans, greatly weakened. Yet eight people die in the southern United States. In many places the power supply is interrupted.
  • Saint Paul / United States : The Republican National Convention for the nomination of the Republican presidential candidate is being held in Minnesota , something which Senator John McCain has long been assured of. Vice-president Sarah Palin from Alaska is to be, whose unconventional manner brings a breath of fresh air to the party congress and McCain's election campaign.
  • Tokyo / Japan : Japan's Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda announces his resignation after around a year in office in order to prevent a “political vacuum”. He will remain in office until the ruling LDP's party conference . His government reshuffle a month ago had not been approved by the opposition and business, so new elections were called for. For the election of the successor, ex-foreign minister and LDP general secretary Tarō Asō is favored.

  • Bangkok / Thailand : After weeks of opposition demonstrations against Prime Minister Sundaravej because of his work as a TV cook, he resigns. The Constitutional Court saw this as an inadmissible conflict of interest . He will be succeeded by a brother-in-law of the ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra , the previous Minister Somchai Wongsawat . Since the new prime minister was previously accused of corruption , the domestic political crisis can be expected to continue. Somchai was elected with the 63 percent parliamentary majority of the governing coalition in which the People's Party (successor to the Thaksin party TTT, which was banned by the military) dominates. The opposition People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) had forced the government through sustained demonstrations to move from the seat of government to the old Don Muang airport in Bangkok. Somchai wants to help resolve the crisis; people are tired of constant arguments.
  • Israel : The party members elect Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to succeed Kadima party leader Ehud Olmert , who narrowly beats her rival, Transport Minister Schaul Mofas .
  • Sanaa / Yemen : 16 people died in an attack on the US embassy in Yemen. The next day, 25 suspects were arrested who had declared al-Qaeda .

  • New York / United States : After the failed attempt by the US government to rescue the American banks, the Dow Jones index plummets by 777 points or around eight percent. However, this highest daily minus in its history is offset by a three times higher daily loss in the stock market index in 1986.
  • Chad : The eleven tourists kidnapped ten days ago in Egypt and their eight travel companions are freed in Chad with military aid. Before that, they were deported to Sudan , Libya and most recently to Chad.
  • Washington, DC / United States : The Paulson Plan presented by the Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve , which provides for 700 billion US dollars to stabilize the financial markets and take over endangered banks, is rejected by the US House of Representatives with a narrow majority. A modified version with tax cuts and parliamentary control rights will be presented to the Senate at the beginning of October.
