Αναρμόδιο δηλώνει το Εθνικός Συμβούλιο Ραδιοτηλεόρασης να κρίνει επί της λειτουργίας της τη Δημόσια Τηλεόραση.
Με ανακοίνωσή του το ΕΣΡ υπογραμμίζει ότι αρμόδια για να κρίνει είναι η Επιτροπή Αναστολών του Συμβουλίου της Επικρατείας, ενώ εκφράζει ταυτόχρονα την ελπίδα η Δημόσια Τηλεόραση να λειτουργήσει και πάλι το συντομότερο δυνατόν.
Μάλιστα στην απόφαση της Ολομέλειας υποστηρίζεται ότι δεν προβλέπεται από το νόμο η αδειοδότηση κρατικών τηλεοπτικών και ραδιοφωνικών σταθμών.

ΧΩΡΙΣ McDonald's ΑΠΟ ΑΥΡΙΟ Η ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ
Σημερα, Τετάρτη 31 Ιουλίου, είναι η τελευταία ημέρα λειτουργίας του τελευταίου McDonald’s στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Tην Πέμπτη 1η Αυγούστου, θα έχουν κατεβεί οι επιγραφές από το μεγάλο κατάστημα στη γωνία των οδών Εγνατίας και Αγίας Σοφίας, κλείνοντας έτσι την 20ετή παρουσία της γνωστής αμερικανικής αλυσίδας ταχυφαγείων στην πόλη.
Το συγκεκριμένο κατάστημα, ένα από τα μόλις τρία που έχουν απομείνει, πανελλαδικά, να λειτουργούν με franchising, άνοιξε το 1994 και ήταν, όλα αυτά τα χρόνια, το μεγάλο McDonald’s στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Ωστόσο, λήγει το μισθωτήριο συμβόλαιο και, η McDonald’s Hellas, που διαχειρίζεται τις μισθώσεις των καταστημάτων για τους franchisees, δεν συμφώνησε για την ανανέωση του ενοικιαστηρίου, όπως πληροφορήθηκε ηVoria.gr.
Με το κλείσιμο του καταστήματος, χάνουν τη δουλειά τους 10 εργαζόμενοι. Το κατάστημα, απασχολούσε πριν το 2010 περισσότερο προσωπικό, αλλά η κρίση σε συνδυασμό με την αύξηση του ΦΠΑ εστίασης στο 23%, οδήγησαν σε μείωση του τζίρου κατά περίπου 50% σε διάστημα τριετίας.
Εν τω μεταξύ, άνθρωποι της Premier Capital Hellas, που τον Ιούνιο του 2011 αγόρασε τα εταιρικά καταστήματα της McDonald’s Hellas, ερευνούν την αγορά ακινήτων καθώς, όπως φαίνεται, ψάχνουν για να ενοικιάσουν κατάστημα πιο χαμηλά στο κέντρο της Θεσσαλονίκης.
Το γεγονός ωστόσο είναι, ότι η McDonald’s Hellas, βγαίνει σταδιακά από την αγορά καθώς αφήνει να φυλλορροήσει το δίκτυο καταστημάτων franchise. Η ανάπτυξη του σήματος, όπως κανείς συμπεραίνει, θα περάσει εξ' ολοκλήρου στην Premier Capital η οποία είναι και developmental licensee του πολυεθνικού ομίλου εστίασης στη χώρα μας.
Να σημειωθεί ότι από εκεί που υπήρχαν 11 McDonald’s με το σύστημα του franchising, τελικά έφθασαν να είναι μόλις τρία, δύο στην Αθήνα και το ένα της Θεσσαλονίκης, και πλέον από την 1η Αυγούστου, θα έχουν μείνει μόλις τα δύο των Αθηνών.
Υπενθυμίζεται ότι στη Θεσσαλονίκη, μέχρι τον Οκτώβριο του 2012, λειτουργούσαν ακόμη δύο McDonald’s από franchisees, ένα στην Καλαμαριά και ένα στο εμπορικό κέντρο ‘Florida 1’.
PARIS PLAGE ALONG THE RIVER SEINE
It may be two hundred kilometres from the coast, but that is not stopping people in Paris getting sand between their toes.
A golden beach has been laid out along the River Seine, to give those in the capital a taste of the seaside. It is an annual event which always washes up a wave of sun worshippers.
“During such hard times, with the crisis, we must not stop loving life and smiling,” says Bertrand Delanoe, the Mayor of Paris.
There is sun, sand, but of course no sea – and taking a dip in the Seine is banned. That is not dampening the fun though.
“We come here to lay on the beach and get a sun tan,” said one ‘beach-goer.’
Another added: “You can see many people passing by, it’s more interesting than being at the beach.
STAR WARS SEQUELS TO BE SCORED BY JOHN WILLIAMS
Composer John Williams is to return to score Star Wars: Episode VII, it has been announced.
The Oscar-winner, who has composed all six films in the sci-fi saga, said he was "happy to be continuing to be part of the whole fun" of the franchise.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the news at a Star Wars fan event in Germany.
In an interview with StarWars.com, Williams hinted he would likely use some of the music from previous films.
"I haven't seen the script, so the story is still unknown to me, but I can't image there will not be some references to the existing stories that would make appropriate use of some of the earlier themes," he said.
The composer has won five Oscars over his 60-year career for his famous film scores including Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and the first Star Wars film.
He has also been nominated for more than 40 other Academy Awards for his work on movies including Superman, the Indiana Jones films, Saving Private Ryan and most recently, Lincoln.
In April, Episode VII director JJ Abrams indicated he wanted Williams to score his film, but said it was "early days".
In his latest interview, Williams praised the director saying he was "perfectly chosen to continue George Lucas's great odyssey".
Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to be released in 2015.
