appears to be commonsense emerging in some parts of Europe
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday that Europe has to forge its own path forward, as the United States and Britain were no longer reliable partners.
The jet took off around 9:30 am on Tuesday on a routine training sortie and went off the radar near the Doulasang area of Arunachal Pradesh, which borders China.
The last contact with the pilots was around 11:30 am, when the aircraft was nearly 60 km north of Tezpur; the wreckage has been found in the same area. The Tezpur Air Force station is 172 km from the China border.
Found further news on the downed aircraft reading Tezpur Indian Air Force Base on Facebook e.g. in part translation: -
First, is in the area on the east border of India-China, that China's position is still intact and very clear
We hope that india will be able to achieve a deal between the 2 sides and avoid to destroy peace and stability in the area. The border area.
We have been following the situation in South Tibet (Arunachal Pradesh) very closely. First of all on the eastern section of the India-China border, China's position is consistent and clear. We hope India can stick to the arrangements reached between the two sides and avoid disrupting peace and stability at the border areas."

Vladimir Putin has warned against attempting to intimidate North Korea after Pyongyang said it had successfully launched a nuclear-capable missile in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions.
The missile flew for half an hour and reached an unusually high altitude before landing in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean, Japanese and US militaries said.
The rocket, "newly designed in a Korean-style," flew 787 kilometers (490 miles) and reached a maximum altitude of 2,111.5 kilometers (1,310 miles), the North said, and "verified the homing feature of the warhead under the worst re-entry situation and accurate performance of detonation system."
UNITED NATIONS: Both Russia and China on Friday warned that the mounting rhetoric over North Korea could lead to missteps that would have "frightening consequences."
The Chinese foreign minister insisted that diplomacy was "the only right choice" and pushed its proposal for reviving talks based on a freeze of North Korea's military programs.
Wang said China's long-standing proposal for a freeze on Pyongyang's military programs in exchange for halting US-South Korea military drills was "sensible and reasonable."
The United States has rejected the Chinese proposal and insists that North Korea first take steps to show that it is ready ..
oh thank very much for your feed-back, i agree clearer, the old lens has been producing creamy light in images. Its all chuck away these days isn't? Few years ago i sought support under warranty from Olympus as the lens appeared to have dust in it. Turned me down...i had purchased weather resident, dust-proof camera and lens suitable for outdoor wildlife photography, but then Olympus Australia and Japan turned round only the camera was weather resident and dust-proof, not the lens offered to repair the lens for about the price as a new one.
I was surprised that the crowd i purchased (grey-import) new one from in Hong Kong processed delivery morning 22nd May in Hong Kong and I took those photos with new lens before lunch on 25th May...
join the forums as you have done in this one and you'll at least get to know something about others on here, maybesome you might agree with and call friend, maybe others other, all a form of friendship either which way
That's where i got to in my mind to, wondering whether first and second Bush, the Aussie PM's Hawk, Howard and Blair also others that support the stupidity on all sides will ever understand they are responsible for starting and continuing the stupidity.
Whether people will ever better understand that violence leads to more violence as they all got brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, extended families will ever better understand using violence merely builds the level of hate-rid multiplied by the numbers killed x 6 or more at the very least. Understanding that point could end to this sought of stupidity. Instead of increasing the level of violence and stupidity; babbling fools increases peoples sufferings on both sides of conflicts. Folks need to understand bombs dropped from B52 bombers kill other peoples children to, that sought of stupidity that needs to be better understood. Over million Muslims have been killed and people over and over are blaming others without acknowledging who started this ongoing terrorist stupidity in the first place Bush
three weeks ago Saudi forces along with the Chinese marched in Pakistan parade celebrating the removal of the British from Pakistan, just prior to tat saudi king handed out money in Indonesia and Pakistan Its being reported here Australia is also selling weapons of war the the saudi's, supporting america and saudi arabia arm terrorists in syria appears to be all spilling completely out of control and sooner or later bang
The settings I am using include “centre weighted focusing”-“automatic auto focus”, “eye recognition”, ISO 800, also the camera is set to fire bursts of at least three shots each time I take a picture (if I held shutter button down it’d continue firing until camera ran out of memory, about 100 shots) both cameras have inbuilt stability on, my settings are saved to a mode dial (I replaced timeline mode dial with ISO 640, and the Art mode-dial I replaced with ISO 800). All the other cameras mode dials are otherwise camera factory defaults. I am not using a tripod; been practicing my hand held shooting that has improved over time.
Its good feeling when you load photos into computer and see shots that turn out. Most you never catch with your eye.
Since my earlier post i've taken 540 photos and whittled those down to a few i'll bore you with, most are moving subjects, all these were taken this morning.
i guy that has been birding for years mentioned the benefits using ISO 800 and best as i can tell its worthwhile using so i've got both cameras set by default to use ISO 800
Only reason some times I manage to get some pretty ok photos, is because the settings saved in my presets load when i turn the camera on. So i shoot first using them, (the settings i've saved to the camera) then maybe if time allows, I can then change to auto or other setting if i want. But you seldom get a second chance with moving birds...
