drei von ihnen schwer. Zwei weitere Menschen starben aufgrund von gesundheitlichen Vorbelastungen. Wie genau es zu dieser Explosion kommen konnte, ist bislang unklar. Obwohl die Polizeieinheit KAVALA schon um 6.00 morgens eine Bombendrohung erhalten hat, war es ihnen in neun Stunden nicht möglich, die Bombe im Eingangsbereich des Kempinski Hotels zu finden. Die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen wurden daraufhin erhöht . „Wir haben die Anzahl der anwesenden Polizisten von 2800 auf 4000 aufgestockt. Es besteht nunmehr keine Gefahr für die Dies ist nun schon der dritte Todesfall, der im heute ankommenden G8-Staatschefs, sowie für Zusammenhang mit dem G8-Gipfel steht. Am 20. die Demonstranten“, so Rieke Schües. Mai wurden bei einer Explosion im Kempinski Der G8-Gipfel wird wie geplant in Heiligendamm Hotel in Heiligendamm mehrere Personen verletzt, statt finden.
Investigations instead of Results hints to terroristic organizations. As he told at a press conference they charged a suspect man in England who is said to have had contact to Al Quaida. But nothing is certain yet. It seems as if the prefered sentence of all authorities is: "There are still investigations...". There are investigations whether the explosion is the result of a fire-bombing attack or "only" a Molotov cocktail, investigations of the culprits and of course investigations of the security strategy.
ROSTOCK. A bomb threat, an explosion, injured people and deadly victims - these are the sad headlines of the G8 summit in Heiligendamm last weekend. Despite all precautions the security conditions were disastrous. And still there are no answers. An explosion at the outside entrance of the Hotel Kempinski shocked the world on Thursday afternoon. That was the bad case(unclear), and although Kavala authorities received a bomb threat from an anonymous source the same morning they could not avert this. One person lost its life because of an asthma attack that was caused by smoke developed after the explosion. At first, authorities spoke of a few injured people of whom three critically injured employees of the hotel were brought to hospital by an air ambulance.
- The security strategy meets with a lot of critizism. In spite of everything the mayor of Rostock, Tom Konings, trusted in this strategy. In an official notification he said: "Our emergency forces have responded remarkably well today, which shows we are prepared and fully capable to host the G8 summit." Nevertheless, anti G8 demonstrations ended in chaos and violence and about 100 people were arrested. One elderly activist died as a result of a heart attack. If all these detentions were justified and if the police is on the right trace - all that is still under investigation.
At an event like the G8 summit the question suggests itself if these people were victims of a terroristic act. - Police inspector Remon Moes traces 4

One week after the press conference, the journalists wrote a report about the happenings around the G8 summit in Heiligendamm. Magdalena Hilgefort wrote this:

Kurz nach der Pressekonferen schrieben die Journalistikstudenten ein News item über die jüngsten Ereignisse rund um den G8-Gipfel. Ein Beispiel von Anne Müller Heiligendamm/Rostock- Bei einem Unfall auf einer Großdemonstration in Rostock kam es gestern zu einem Todesfall. Ein 64 Jahre alter Mann wurde von einem Polizeiauto überfahren und war sofort tot. Rieke Schües, Sprecherin der Polizeieinheit KAVALA, bedauert den Vorfall zutiefst, weist aber jede Verantwortung von sich. Nachfragen zum genauen Hergang des Unfalls, ebenso wie zur Identität des Mannes wurden nicht beantwortet, um die laufenden Ermittlungen nicht zu gefährden.
Progress report by Karen Dahlke Pressconference
Lunchtime 7th of June
The Dutch students arrived. We didn't know if we should go and welcome them or just wait in front of the Cafeteria. All in all, we went and greeted them. Some of us had produced quite cool signs with the names of their "buddies". Others of us just tried to find their students in the chaos.
At the press-conference, everybody felt the adrenalin. You could feel the tension between the journalists and spokespeople. The represantatives of the press tried to hold back information from the others. Some really had to fight, in order, to discover or cover information.
After press-conference
Well, I think most of us had quite a hard time to write the article. There were so much information and yet too less. We wrote about three dreadful events but, nowever, we had quite less detailed information. So our articles ended up being pretty shallow.

Lunch 7th of June
The students from abroad were quite eager to eat something. Our "Mensa" fascinated them and they enjoyed their meals. All in all they ate more than we did. But we had a pretty funny lunch and did a lot of talking. We just tried to find out how well both sides were prepared.
After lunch
There were the speeches of our teachers and of the Groningen teachers. Everybody listened and tried to find out how the whole event would go. All of us were quite excited waiting for the beginning of the first press-conference.
Sorry, because of work I couldn't be there. But I heard that the people had a great time. I would have liked to join.

Die Ergebnisse des G8-Gipfels WELT.de 10.06.07 Die G-8-Staaten streben Verpflichtungen zur Senkung der Treibhausgase an. Das EU-Ziel, die Halbierung des CO2-Ausstoßes bis 2050, wird "ernsthaft in Betracht gezogen". Die Verhandlungen über ein Folgeabkommen nach dem 2012 auslaufenden Kyoto-Protokoll beginnen auf UN-Ebene bei der Weltklimakonferenz im Dezember in Bali.
In Zusammenarbeit mit den Schwellenländern wollen die G-8-Staaten die Produktpiraterie stärker bekämpfen. Dazu gehört eine Verschärfung des Patentrechts für Medikamente. Zur Bekämpfung von Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria, vor allem in Afrika, wollen die G-8-Staaten in den nächsten Jahren mindestens 60 Milliarden Dollar bereitstellen. Rund 40 Millionen Menschen weltweit sind mit der Immunschwäche infiziert, davon fast 25 Millionen in Afrika.
Mit Blick auf den Klimaschutz soll eine wirksamere und sparsamere Nutzung von Energie gefördert werden. Das G8-Dokument enthält kein Plädoyer für die Atomkraft. Die G-8-Staaten wollen das Gesundheits- und Bildungswesen in Afrika stärken, den Aufbau von Finanzmärkten voranbringen, Investitionen ankurbeln. Zu diesem Zweck sollen 25 Milliarden Dollar Entwicklungshilfe nach Afrika fließen. Das ist doppelt so viel als bisher.
Sozial- und Umweltstandards sowie Regeln für den verantwortlichen Umgang mit Rohstoffvorkommen in Entwicklungsländern sollen weiterentwickelt und Barrieren für Auslandsinvestitionen abgebaut werden. Investitionsfreiheit wird als Stützpfeiler von Wirtschaftswachstum, Wohlstand und Beschäftigung bezeichnet.
