  • DIE PROVINZ. Ein Versuch Kultureller Vermittlung Zwischen Deutschen Und Tschechen
    DIE PROVINZ. Ein Versuch kultureller Vermittlung zwischen Deutschen und Tschechen Mirek Němec Im Januar 1924 erschien im Weimarer Utopia-Verlag die erste Nummer der Zeitschrift DIE PROVINZ. MONATSSCHRIFT FÜR DIE TSCHECHOSLOWAKEI. Der Gründer und Besitzer des Verlags – Dr. Bruno Adler (= Urban Roedl) – wird neben Dr. Ernst Sommer und Ernst Bergauer, „sämtliche in Karlsbad“ (DIE PROVINZ 1924/1: 32), wo auch die Zeitschrift gedruckt wurde, als Herausgeber genannt. Die kulturpolitische Revue bekam den Titel DIE PROVINZ, denn „nicht der Welt und der Menschheit, sondern der Provinz ist diese Zeitschrift gewidmet“ (ANONYM 1924: 2). Der einfache Titel war auch Programm und verrät viel über die Intention der Herausgeber. Es ist daher aufschlussreich, die Bedeu- tung des Wortes ‚Provinz‘ zu interpretieren. Sie verschob sich im Laufe der Zeit und ist nicht eindeutig. Zunächst bezeichneten die alten Römer damit ein Gebiet, welches sich außerhalb vom römischen Stammland befand, aber im- merhin noch in ihrem Herrschaftsbereich lag. Später wurde mit dem Begriff allgemein ein größeres Gebiet bezeichnet, welches eine staatliche oder kirchli- che Verwaltungseinheit bildete. Im Laufe der Zeit änderte sich die Bedeutung des Wortes Provinz und bezeichnete nun den Gegenpol der Metropole oder des Zentrums. Diese Bedeutung war auch für die Herausgeber der Zeitschrift rele- vant. Für sie stand die Provinz in einer Opposition zur Großstadt, zum Fort- schritt und der Moderne. Sie zeichnete sich durch Rückständigkeit, durch An- timoderne und Kulturpessimismus, durch Heimatideologie und Heimatkunst, durch Konservatismus und Enge aus (MECKLENBURG 1982: 16f). In diesem Sinne war DIE PROVINZ für die Herausgeber ein Hoffnungsträger. Bruno Adler sah, unter Bezugnahme auf Oswald Spengler, in der PROVINZ die mögliche Rettung des Abendlandes (ROEDL 1924: 12–16).

  • Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints 2020 BBC News, Royal
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2020 BBC News, Royal Family coverage, January 2020 Summary of complaint We were contacted by viewers who were unhappy with the level of coverage given to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's announcement that they will be 'stepping back' as senior royals. Our response In our editorial judgement, the announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex planned to quit their frontline roles was a major news story of great constitutional significance as well as widespread public interest. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a very high profile at home and abroad and their decision affects the entire Royal Family, as well as raising questions about the levels of public support they enjoy and their charitable roles too. We appreciate viewers may not agree with how this story was covered, but we also made space for other major stories, including developments in Iran and Australia, both of which we have given extensive airtime. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBC World Service, Sinhala, January 2020 Summary of complaint We received a number of complaints about BBC Sinhala correspondent, Azzam Ameen, with concerns over his conduct during the Sri-Lankan presidential election. Our response Editorial impartiality is the foundation of the BBC’s global reputation as a trusted news source and this is something which cannot be compromised. The BBC has taken appropriate action as a result of this serious breach of its Editorial Guidelines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question Time, BBC One, 16 January 2020 Summary of complaint We were contacted by viewers who were unhappy with the audience makeup of the programme.

  • Annual Report & Accounts 2008-09
    BRITISH SHALOM- SALAAM TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2008-9 for the year ending 28 February 2009 1 While this year saw BSST continue in our wide ranging grant giving activity to education, health, social care, inter-communal and peace building projects in Palestine and Israel, inevitably our work was overshadowed by the immense humanitarian crisis in Gaza caused by the Israeli bombardment which began at the end of December 2008 Our response was immediate – to offer as much financial help as possible. With Gaza cut off and direct assistance to its people impossible, we focused on fundraising for Israeli human rights/health organisation, Physicians for Human Rights – Israel, which has longstanding and close relationships with Gaza health providers. PHR-I pulled out all the stops to get basic medical supplies through Israel’s checkpoints and delivered to Gaza hospitals and health care staff. BSST supporters old and new were immensely generous - we received well over £50k to pass on to PHR-I. In the rest of our work we have continued to support many projects speaking to our core values of justice, equality of respect and mutual assistance. We have again been humbled by those remarkable groups, both in Palestine and in Israel, which have reacted to conflict, destruction and repression with small but powerful restatements of how it is possible, indeed essential, to live differently and peacefully, in full recognition of our shared humanity. In the report that follows, we aim to give as vivid a picture as we can of the brave and imaginative work they undertake. No matter how much income we raise, calls on our funds continue to grow.

  • Statement from Jenny Manson I Understand That Ken Livingstone Is
    Statement from Jenny Manson I understand that Ken Livingstone is accused of being offensive when he publicly defended Naz Shah MP in April 2016. I also understand that he is being accused of being offensive for referring to the Transfer Agreement between the Nazi government and German Zionist Federation in the 1930s. These actions by Ken were not offensive, nor anti-Semitic in any way, in my view. I am Jewish and have been a member of the Labour party since 1969. I was Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Hendon North in 1987 and I was a Labour Councillor from 1986 to 1990 on Barnet Council. I am 68 years old and remain an active Labour member. I am currently a member of Finchley and Golders Green CLP General Committee. My family has personal knowledge of the violent anti-Semitism in eastern Europe in the twentieth century. My mother came from the Ukraine, which she had to leave in 1919 to escape the pogroms against Jewish people. She lived in Palestine for ten years and then moved to Britain where she settled after marrying Raphael Salaman, a member of a long established Anglo- Jewish family. His mother was prominent in the early Zionist movement in the UK . In my working life as a Tax Inspector I saw a (very) few instances of anti-Semitism, such as the characterisation of 'Jewish Accountants' as accountants who skated close to the edge. I have never witnessed any instances of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. Anti-Semitism has to be treated as a serious issue, which is entirely separate from the different views people take on Israel and Zionism.
