EUROPE'S FAVORITE DICTATORS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EU Has Failed the Arab World
For decades, Europe propped up dictators in North Africa in the interest
of stability. Now the EU is struggling to respond to the wave of popular
uprisings in the region. Its tardy response to the violence in Libya
shows just how divided the bloc is. By SPIEGEL Staff.

Gadhafi will 'Fight Until the Last Bullet is Fired'
Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi is clinging on to power, while the US,
UN and EU have imposed sanctions on his regime and his clan. German
media commentators asked what the West should do next to end
the violent clash.

Post-Gadhafi Era Begins in Eastern Libya
As opposition forces put Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi under
increasing pressure, the post-Gadhafi era has already begun in the
eastern part of the country. Victorious rebels are turning to the task
of governing, but no one knows what will replace the despot's system. By

THE BATTLE FOR AL-BAYDA
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fighting for Freedom against Tanks, Mercenaries and Bombs
It has become a symbol of the fight against Libyan dictator Moammar
Gadhafi: Protesters in the northern town of Al-Bayda faced mercenaries,
tanks and bombs, but refused to buckle. Dozens died, but those who were
wounded say they will return to the front if needed.

THE GUTTENBERG PLAGIARISM SCANDAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'German Society Is Applying a Double Standard'
A defense minister in Germany can apparently get away with plagiarizing
his dissertation, but a bakery employee can get fired for stealing a
pastry. That, says highly respected German academic Ernst-Ludwig
Winnacker, is a double standard. Guttenberg's offense, he says, is
unforgivable in academia.

POLITICAL ALLIES BLAST GUTTENBERG
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Support Wanes Fast for German Defense Minister
He thought he could sit out the plagiarism scandal surrounding his
dissertation. But this week, German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu
Guttenberg is facing withering criticism from his own side of the
political aisle. He is, a member of his own party claims, "a dandy, not
a politician."

ERDOGAN URGES TURKS NOT TO ASSIMILATE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'You Are Part of Germany, But Also Part of Our Great Turkey'
Thousands of Turkish immigrants gave Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
a rock star welcome in Germany on Sunday in a show of national pride
that remains fervent, even after decades spent in Germany. He told them
they remain part of Turkey, and urged them to integrate into German
society -- but not to assimilate.

IRELAND GETS A NEW PRIME MINISTER
------------------------------------------------------------------------

With New Government, EU Could Become Next Battleground
Ireland's future prime minister has a tough job ahead of him: Voters who
backed Enda Kenny expect him to take a tough line and renegotiate the
terms of the country's EU bailout. Some are hoping that his ties with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will lend a helping hand.

DEATH IN VENICE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Italian Idyll Fights for Its Very Survival
The city of Venice absorbs 20 million tourists each year. In addition,
rising water levels have meant an increasing number of floods each year.
A new barrier aims to keep Mother Nature at bay, but Venice faces an
equally big problem: Its population is shrinking dramatically as
Venetians flee the city.

Parts of Rosat, a massive, out-of-control German satellite, could smash
into the earth sometime between October and December this year.
Officials in Germany, however, say that humans likely are not in danger.

Bordeaux wines are under threat from global warming, say industry
experts, who warn that the southwestern French region may no longer be
suitable for winemaking by 2050. Winegrowers are already switching to
heat-resistant grape varieties as a precaution.
