a lot of damage was caused to the building
Many doors were broken open," she said
"Several journalists’ laptops were confiscated and telecommunications were cut off
We do not know why the search took place.”
The federal prosecutor’s office later said the searches were carried out in connection with a European Investigation Order
as part of an investigation into terrorist financing
As Belgium was acting at the request of another country
the prosecutor’s office will not provide further information for the time being
I received a phone call that more than a hundred police officers were trying to get into the building
without our knowledge,” said Daniel Sommer
Those present at the time were not allowed to leave the site or contact anyone
In a press release distributed by their law firm
the channels said there were “no justifiable reasons” to “turn against TV channels aimed at Kurds”
The statement referred to Turkey and NATO allies as well as to a Turkish offensive in the Kurdish region
A previous search of the same premises took place in 2010
when all computers and cameras belonging to the channel ROJ were taken

reportedly leading to the arrest of seven journalists

A man from the Flemish Brabant municipality of Affligem was somewhat aghast when friends told him that they had seen a photograph of him in a police wanted notice
Geert Despiegelaere’s photograph appeared in the notice that was part of an ongoing investigation into bank card fraud
Last week the Federal Police issued an appeal for information to help them identify a man they suspect of having withdrawn cash and made payments with a stolen debit card
The card had been stolen from an 83-year-old man from Denderleeuw (East Flanders)
The card was then used to withdraw cash from an ATM in Liedekerke (Flemish Brabant) and to make payments at shops in the Brussels municipalities of Ganshoren
CCTV footage from the cash point in Liedekerke was included in the wanted notice
together with a description of the suspect
in an unfortunate case of mistaken identity the man in the photograph was Geert Despiegelaere and he had nothing whatsoever to do with the card fraud
"Good friends of mine recognised me on the photograph and let me know that I was being sought
Geert Despiegelaere contacted the Denderleeuw/Haaltert Local Police Service straight away to ask what was going on
It transpired that Geert bears a resemblance to the suspect and that this led to the confusion
He told VRT News that "I saw photographs of the real suspect
Geert is not angry with the police about the mistake they made
It was only a very good friends that recognised me and I understand very well how the confusion arose
The police officers were only doing their job."
the police have posted a corrected version of the wanted notice on Facebook and also apologised to Geert

Those adorned with a surname that has already made a mark in football—via family relation or coincidence—carry expectations beyond usual levels
he's still to make his own mark on senior football
He's yet to play a single minute of first-team football for Barcelona and has only this season become a key figure in their UEFA Youth League side
6 position in the Blaugrana's famed 4-3-3 was dominated by Ferran Sarsanedas; Busquets earned minutes but often played as a No
Despite the fact Oriol is no relation to Sergio
he is literally Barcelona's "next Busquets." The "next X" tag is horribly and abusively used in football
People are surprised to find Oriol and Sergio are not related
as every tangible piece of evidence screams that they are
but they've been raised through the same club's academy
play in the exact same position and have that same lanky quality to their frame
has long legs made for tackling and passes exquisitely under pressure—you have to admit
Busquets covers the width of the pitch in a defensive capacity and is heavily involved in the team's buildup play
they dominate possession of the ball in almost every game
and that starts with assuredness from the holding-midfield role
Coach Gabriel Garcia de la Torre is as adamant about playing from the back as Luis Enrique or Pep Guardiola
and they have to show a cool head with distribution—or they can kiss any first-team Barcelona hopes goodbye
Credit: nSportThis is perhaps where Busquets is most influential
but he will always receive passes on the edge (or even inside of) his own box and distribute under pressure
He'll dart to one side of the box to create an angle
wall off a marker and then switch the play to the opposite centre-back or full-back to pick up and run with
he's able to lay it off to others or start attacks with forward passes
He is the human incarnation of Barca's age-old philosophy
ensuring the flag is flown even at under-19 level
He played a slightly different role for Spain's under-17 setup this past summer
but was just as effective and helped them to the final
those rangy legs come into vital use: He's able to cover ground surprisingly quickly and engage runners to stop them
He can dispossess cleanly and restart attacks fluidly
with players finding it difficult to gauge just how big his tackling circumference is
Despite a frame on the light side and no obvious
he's able to jockey with anyone and will often steer them away from his path
This comes in particular handy in deeper areas
as he's confident of holding off markers when receiving balls from the goalkeepers in risky situations
While developed and impressing in many areas
but given they share a surname and expectations are high
it's important to distinguish the areas in which he needs improvement
he offers little in terms of natural goal threat—though that should be no knock on a No
6 tasked with collecting balls from the goalkeeper and beginning attacks
Much of the final-third work is handed off to niftier
and so far that share of responsibilities has worked pretty well—Barca's under-19s did qualify top of their Youth League group with five wins
Credit: nSportThe notable difference in the two Busquets' games is the longer passing; while Sergio's ability to thread the needle and "pack" players with balls between the lines is legendary
Oriol's is very much a work in progress
He's prone to putting a little too much on some of his longer passes into tight spaces
and sometimes the tackles he makes are the mopping up of his own issues
but there will also be three or four per game that fail
that's pretty normal and should not be used as a stick to beat him with
but it also underlines the area in which he must work hard in order to reach the next level
but Oriol must improve his longer passing and creativity from deeper areas in order to force his way into the senior reckoning and rival Sergio
What a tussle that would be—a battle of the Busquets for the Busquets role in the side
