Where can I watch comment: visions rubric, but on Russian. For some reason on on site I’m redirected on (http://www.commentvisions.com/) there are only English. If it’s possible to switch language on that site, please explain how do these manipulations.

Dear viewer
It is not possible at the moment to watch Comment Visions in any other language than English, but we are hoping to develop the site to contain other linguistic versions, Russian among them, in the future.

If Hamas is a terrorist group then all the freedom fighters in Europe under the second WW are also terrorists. It looks like we the common Danish people are a lot smarter than the politicians. We can see that Hamas was elected legally by the people of Gaza and that Hamas is fighting against the occupation of Palestine’s land. So we wonder if the politicians are just plain stupid or that money plays a much higher role as the condition of which people are living in!

Dear viewer, In stories relating to this issue we report the fact that Hamas is considered a terrorist group by the EU and the US. Head of English Service

I have lived and worked in five countries and across two continents. I speak three languages and am learning a forth and have fifteen years employment experience in various fields. Unfortunately like many others have fallen on hard times due to various reasons other than the financial/ global climate. Considering I am a non academic historian with an insatiable hunger for all types and sources of information the following can only strike me as self evident.
Never has there been a time with so many laws and yet so little justice. Never has there been so much talk of freedom as it is meticulously eroded. Never have there been so many bankrolled charities and yet so much poverty and suffering. Never has there been such monumental wealth growth divides. Never have there been so many politicians, endless comities and focus groups suckling away on revenue and resources. Never has so much money been pumped from our pockets into the financial institutions with little accountability as to where it disappears. Never have so many top executives and share holders of corporations grown fat whilst poisoning people. Never have there been so many leaps in science, medicine yet so many clandestine weapon and super viral creation projects; such as the HAARP scientifically grounded capabilities and the unusual quantity of deaths surrounding 19 top scientists in twenty moths in a narrow field of study.
For the curious check out who bankrolled Mr. Obama it makes interesting reading who is behind the corporations.
The declaration of human rights is a meaningless piece of paper for which all non powerful or wealthy pay daily at the hands of those who claim to be leading in our interest. It is s sewer of mendacity, insidiousness, lies and deception and throughout history there have been few with personal integrity and this is not likely to improve for some time.
I’m sorry to say that the poorly appetising finger buffet of news provided by euronews is without substance and this will be my last comment on this site. You may publish or not, my only concern is that some editor who has a shred of professional dignity assimilate some of its content for further investigative journalism.

Dear viewer euronews provides news and analysis on the continuous flow of world events. A top priority for us is to maintain a neutral perspective in reporting international news and audience research tells us that that is one of the things the channel is appreciated for. This perception is, according to the research, enhanced by the fact that we don’t have on-screen presenters or correspondents giving their own insights into events. On the other hand we do offer substantive and in-depth coverage of stories that don’t necessarily feature on the news agendas of our anglo-saxon counterparts, for instance in our “Europeans” or “Reporter” programme strands. I would urge you to watch again, bearing in mind that we are succeeding in offering something different. Head of English Service

It is said very often on euronews how many Gaza’s citizens have been killed or injured during this conflict. But why you don’t say anything about 8 years of unpunished fire of Isralien territory from Gaza? Why don’t you remind your audience that the main aim of Hamas, and they have said it clearly many times, is to destroy Israel?
13.01.09
Dear viewer Throughout our daily coverage of events in Gaza we have consistently given the context and causes of the conflict, including the fact that the offensive was launched to counteract Hamas rocket attacks on Israel. Head of English Service

Dear euronews team,
My name is Rouba, I am a twenty year old Lebanese who graduated in frensh baccalaureate and studying in an american university. I am a fan of you channel and your website and appreciate all your efforts to provde us first things first with what is happening all over the world.
However, i have been stunned by the extent to which your news has been selective in covering what is happening in Gaza. Till this second aroun 680 people were killed by Israel half of which are children and women. This killing of innocent children and civilians should be more clearly covered by your team.
I was shoked by how politicized your news is. I expected to see a clearer picture of what is been shown on other non-bias channels, something that is what journalism is based on THE TRUTH.
On your no comment, you chose pictures of arabs in Ashoura memorials, yet you did not show anything about the massacres which are really “NO COMMENT.”
At the end, there is a lebanese saying that says only people who want your best criticize you. This is why I allowed myself to send this feedback.
All my best,
Rouba Mhaissen

Dear viewer
We have covered this conflict from the moment it erupted and have been at pains to report on it in an impartial and balanced way, reflecting all angles and points of view. We have given the casualty figures, including the propotion of civilians, on a daily basis. Our sources are the international news agencies, the UN and the ICRC, as they are for nearly all international news broadcastors. We have reported on the military developments on both sides, the humanitarian situation and the diplomatic efforts to end the fighting. Viewers have been presented with images of the impact of the conflict on both the Palestinian and Israeli populations, in our main news output and No Comment.
We welcome all constructive criticism and appreciate your comments, but on this occasion I don’t see how we can be faulted for lack of coverage.

On Gaza Crisis
The starting point and key to solving Palestinian/Middle-East problem is Palestinian right to an own sovereign state (and every other right Israelis have) and Israel has no right whatsoever to oppose and control this basic right. It should be also remembered that Hamas got it ruling position through indisputably democratic elections.
Instead of turning to some silly comparations, Israelis and international community should be reminded of ways Israelis fought for their independent state.
Consequently, the present straglehold and massacre of Gaza by Israel is an inhumane, atrocious misuse of its position as an occupying power and its unfair military supremacy that is appallingly and shamefully tolerated or supported by US-led so-called proponents of democracy and human rights in international community.

Dear euronews team,
I just watched the news on your channel and you mentioned that Greece is getting ready to celebrate Christmas. This is not true and I suggest you check your sources. The Greeks have celbrated Christmas on the 25th of December as it happens every year for as long as I an remember. I do not know what happens in Russia, a country that shares the same dogma with the Greeks, but we have already celebrated our Christmas.
thanks for setting the record straight.
kind regards

Ouch! Auckland is in New Zealand, not Australia! (No Comment live, 12:00 noon 31.12.08.

Dear viewer,
Ouch indeed. Our sincerest apologies — somebody was evidently asleep at the caption-writing machine. The caption stayed on air for a minute or so before we corrected it. As you can image our resident NZ journalist was particularly horrified. Head of English service

Dear euronews team,
one of my teachers showed me your website a few weeks ago and since then it’s pretty much been a constant part of my life. I absolutely love the fact that you can choose from eight languages (even if I only understand three of them). Seeing as I’m studying interpretation and translation this is a very useful tool.
I am also a fan of the videos on your page. Too many websites just concentrate on the writing aspect of journalism, but the way you deal with news is quite unique as far as I am concerned. My computer is fairly old and it has no problem whatsoever to play your videos. I always have issues with pages like YouTube and other video sharing services, but this one runs perfectly.
My favorite section of euronews is probably “cinema”. You’re not only reviewing big blockbusters. Instead you also have those little indie gems that make your page so much different from a lot of other movie review sites.
Keep up the good work and have a nice day,
Almer

Dear viewer,
Thanks for the comments. We are getting a lot of similarly positive feedback from language and translation students at the moment. I think we are going to have this one framed and hung in the CEO’s office. Head of English Service

Dear euronews team,
I’m deeply impressed by your site. There’s one platform for people all over the world where they can find the same news and choose in which language they want to listen or read to them (or even both) :D.
I usually listen to those articles which are in German and listen in read to those in English to improve my English skills, and I found out that some articles vary a little bit. I have to mention that I am not upset by this fact but I think it is good, because Europeans don’t need to know everyone involved into the Rod Blagojevich scandal. Nevertheless all the articles are very similar and extremely well done.
I’m looking forward to listen and read the next breaking news.
kind regards,
erna
