The event, which has been staged by Radio Romania kicked off on Friday night with George Enescu\u2019s Romanian Rhapsody performed by the Shenzhen symphony orchestra of China. That was the first participation of an orchestra from Asia in the festival. Until its last day, October 1st, the festival will have seen concerts by the Norwegian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the MDR Radio Orchestra of Leipzig, the ORF Radio Orchestra of Vienna the BBC Concert Orchestra and the National Orchestra of Radio Romania.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MIGRATION <\/strong>The International Migration Organisation (IOM) announced that more and more migrants choose to return to their countries of origin instead of settling in the countries that offered them shelter. The organisation announced it had contributed to the repatriation of 51,000 people who chose to leave Europe in the first 6 months of this year. In 2015 the organisation helped nearly 69 thousand people to get back home. The first three countries the migrants chose to return to were Albania, Iraq and Afghanistan.  Most of these migrants were leaving Germany, a country, which in 2015 reported the largest number of asylum seekers, 442,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESIGNATION<\/strong> Romanian senator Gabriel Oprea, former deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, who is currently facing charges of manslaughter said that he would resign from Parliament the next week. On Monday his Senate colleagues turned down a prosecution request from the National Anti-corruption Directorate for Oprea, a move that triggered protest rallies in Romania\u2019s major cities. We recall the former Interior Minister has been placed under investigation after a police officer from his motorcade was killed in a road accident.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=line-height: 1.6em;>ENVIRONMENT<\/strong> Famous US actor Leonardo DiCaprio has posted an Instagram message in support of actions aimed at protecting environment in Romania.

In another development on Saturday thousands of volunteers took to the streets to collect waste part of a cleaning operation staged by \u201dLet\u2019s Do It, Romania!\u201d, which has in the past 7 years become a symbol of volunteering and managed to involve over one million Romanians who have collected close to 25 thousand tons of waste from 300 regions in Romania. For the first time this year the National Cleaning Day has enjoyed support from the government in Bucharest as five ministeries have got involved in the opeartion.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=line-height: 1.6em;>EARTHQUAKE <\/strong>An earthquake of 5.3 Richter rocked Romania at 2 a.m. on Saturday.
