Simoni: No concessions. Hekurani: the regulations must be changed TIRANA - What were the orders that allowed the killings at the border? A long list of commanders and heads of Internal Affairs branches in the border districts has now been drawn up, but what rules did they apply after the law was changed, when illegal crossings were no longer considered “treason against the homeland” and were punishable only by a fine?

TV kills too SHKODËR - Television can kill too. Two days ago, its victim was an 11-year-old child. After watching a film in the evening with scenes of violence, killings and hangings—now among the most common things on our screens—the next morning he hanged himself, wanting to imitate the actors he had seen on the small screen. The incident took place in the village of Shkodër. Little E.H. had watched a film full of blood and killings together with his parents. The innocent child, after seeing a scene in which a man had hanged himself, asked his father: “Do these people who hang themselves really die?” His father, to calm him down, simply replied: “They are actors and all the scenes are made up.” The child asked for no further explanation, but his silence was truly tragic. The next morning he wanted to play a film in which he himself was both director and actor. The scene he chose? The one he had watched on television the night before. He took a rope, tied it ... and the little boy hanged himself ... [the remaining text is cut off at the bottom of the image] … just as he was about to catch his breath. Taken to the hospital as an emergency, his life ended despite the doctors’ intervention. But who led him to his death? It was certainly not his passion for imitating actors. The real killer is the television screen, today’s cinema: the violence, blood and killings that have taken over films today. A child died, but the danger also hangs over many others. How many little ones are there today who you see imitating karate scenes and fights with knives? Someone suffers the consequences and loses their life; the others grow up and live in a world that their minds have built today out of terror and movie scenes. Tomorrow, on the streets, they risk becoming the new thieves and murderers. Ermal Mlika

Her book “The Simple Path,” published in Italy by the renowned publishing house “Mondadori,” has become a true best-seller. In three weeks, 100,000 copies have been sold throughout Italy. A second edition has even been printed to meet the high demand. The famous adviser of Albanian origin, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Pope John Paul II and the group of Pope John Paul II and finds the publication of the books.

Mother Teresa’s book has been successful not only in Italy. It has been translated into many major languages and published simultaneously in 8 different countries around the world: France, Germany, Spain, Holland, South America, the United States of America, Canada and England. Publishers forecast total sales of nearly 2 million copies. Mother Teresa’s suffering, hardships and life in many parts of the world, among people in distress, the sick and those in need of help, are recounted in the book “The Simple Path.” This publication is the first testimony by the great benefactress written by her own hand; until now, Mother Teresa’s entire work has been described only by others; she herself has never agreed to speak about it or even give statements to the press.
