tight Security in all over the world to receive 2017
The world is preparing for a long night of New Year’s holiday with a high level of security, at the end of a year bloodied by a series of attacks against civilians. Ouagadougou, Istanbul, Orlando, Brussels, Baghdad… long is the list of cities hit by attacks blind in 2016.
In Nice (86 dead) and in Berlin (12 dead), the large gatherings of people were the targets of attacks with trucks – a scenario that raises big fears to the security services for this new year’s eve.
Despite this, the crowds have meeting scheduled for the evening of Saturday in the streets of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America to enter in a year full of political uncertainties, and geopolitical.
Due to time differences, Sydney was the first city to launch the countdown to the New Year, with 12 minutes of fireworks over the iconic bay. But Australia is also in the first line of the fight against terrorism. Two thousand police further were deployed to Sydney (where he expects a million and a half people) after the arrest of a man for "threats related to the New Year". A week ago, Canberra announced to have discovered a "terrorist conspiracy" for the day of Christmas in Melbourne.
"I Encourage the entire world to enjoy the night, knowing that the police will do everything in their power to ensure their safety," declared the prime minister of the State of New-South Wales, Mike Baird.
Paris is a feast
In all the continents, the security is at the center of concerns. Jakarta is also said to have discovered a project of bombing on Christmas of a group linked to Daesh. Israel, for its part, launched a warning against the risks "immediate" of possible terrorist attacks against tourists, including israelis traveling in India.
In New York, 165 vehicles "blockers" – among which the trucks cleaning the streets – will be placed in "strategic locations", notably along with Times Square, where one expects more than a million people to watch the traditional descent of the ball of the New Year.
In Berlin, concrete blocks and armored vehicles will be placed in the arteries that lead to the Brandenburg Gate. In Cologne, the staffing of the police more than doubled, a year after the wave of sexual assaults committed by migrants, which traumatized the city.
After a New Year of 2016 in a reduced version in the aftermath of the attacks of the 13th of November, Paris is once again a feast: half a million people are expected on the Champs Elysees. But the security is maximum: about 100 thousand police and military personnel were mobilized throughout France and new protection devices have been installed in the concrete blocks.
In Moscow, for the second consecutive year, the Red Square will be closed to the public at large. While in the past tens of thousands of people gathered in this place to celebrate the New Year to the sound of the bells of the Kremlin, this time only 6000 guests will have access to the square.
A second longer
In the River, more than two million people are expected on Copacabana beach. But, the crisis of this obligation, the fireworks display has been reduced from 16 minutes to 12 minutes, due to lack of funding in a city that struggles even to recover the expenses linked to the organisation of the Football World cup in 2014 and after the Olympic Games.
America will be the last continent to enter the New Year, announces full of unknowns, starting with the arrival in the White House Donald Trump that nobody would have been able to predict the 31 December 2015.
Uncertainty about the conflict in Syria, whose shock waves propagate from six years ago, well beyond the Middle East, and where a cease-fire partial has just come into force. Bagdad lived a New Year’s eve, bloody, with a double suicide bombing (27 dead).
Questions also to the europeans about the conditions in which it will take place the Brexit british and the French are called to elect the successor to current President François Hollande.
Before the world was entering into the unknown, all that celebrated in the planet will have a second supplement to take advantage of a single night. So, the minute between 23: 59 and 00: 00 will last a second longer than normal, a "second merge" that allows you to relate the time astronomical, connected to the rotation of the Earth, with the scale of the legal time extremely stable.
