\nin a Twitter post that freedom of expression and information are basic values
\nof democracy. Today we honour the journalists who risk their
\nlives in the service of truth. Freedom of expression and information are
\nfundamental values of democracy and we must protect them. We have a
\nresponsibility to hold to account those who commit crimes against the media,
\nsaid the president. The UN General Assembly proclaimed 2nd November
\nthe International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. The date
\nwas chosen in commemoration of two French journalists who were assassinated in
\nMali in 2013. <\/p>\n

\nasked the government and parliament to urgently amend the legislation on
\nbuildings at high risk in case of an earthquake so that they could be
\nconsolidated without the signatures of the tenants who are opposed to
\nevacuation. She says there are almost 350 buildings at high risk in Bucharest,
\nwhere 9,000 people live, and that the City Hall has begun to consolidate 96,
\nwhich involved the temporary evacuation of 1,000 people. If one owner refuses
\nto give approval in writing, the building cannot be consolidated, the mayor
\nalso says. A week ago, Romania was shaken by an earthquake measuring 5.8
\ndegrees on the Richter scale, which caused no victims or damages. On 4th
\nMarch 1977, an earthquake of 7 degrees on the Richter scale caused the death of
\n1,570 people, mostly in Bucharest, and caused material damages estimated at the
\ntime at more than 2 billion dollars. 230,000 homes were destroyed or seriously
\ndamaged. The earthquake triggered an economic and social crisis which,
\naccording to historians, the communist regime was unable to overcome until its
\ncollapse in 1989. <\/p>\n

\npossible joint application to hold the World Cup in 2030, said the Bulgarian
\nprime minister Boiko Borisov after talks with his counterparts from Romania and
\nGreece and the president of Serbia. The countries in this region never hosted a
\nWorld Cup. Only the former Yugoslavia, which was dismantled in 1991, hosted the
\nEuropean championships in 1976. Romania will host four matches as part of the
\n2020 European Championships on its National Arena stadium in Bucharest. <\/p>\n
