MADRID kobe venomenon 5 pas cher , July 27 (Xinhua) -- Spanish police have arrested the driver of a train that derailed and killed 78 people in the country's worst railroad disaster in decades.


Police said Friday that 52-year-old Francisco Garzon Amo was arrested Thursday at a hospital in Santiago where he was being treated for head injuries suffered in the Wednesday derailment that also injured dozens.


Amo was accused of reckless driving but has not been charged yet because he was still receiving treatment for his injuries.


The train's eight carriages crowded with 218 passengers tumbled off the tracks into a concrete wall Wednesday evening before reaching the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela.


Eighty-one passengers remain hospitalized and three bodies have yet to be identified through DNA testing. Authorities reduced the death toll to 78 from 80 after determining that some severed body parts had wrongly been attributed to different victims.


Service was restored Friday between Ourense and Santiago de Compostela but authorities said just two of the three tracks damaged in Wednesday's crash were in use. The third track was expected to be put back in service on Saturday.


Meanwhile, a memorial ceremony for the crash victims was to be held Monday night at Santiago de Compostela's Cathedral.


Amo, who has more than 30 years of experience with the state train company Renfe, was reported to have admitted traveling at 190 km per hour, more than double the 80 kph speed limit for that section of track.


Investigators from Spain's Public Works Ministry, Renfe and the state track operator ADIF were investigating to determine why the train had exceeded the speed limit and why the security system had not worked.


The investigators were trying to collect black box data kobe 10 usa pas cher , including videos, audios and all the technical work that was done on the train.


A video broadcast on Spanish TV showed that the accident apparently was caused by excessive speed as the train went into a curve and hurled off the tracks.


Spain on Thursday declared a three-day national mourning for the crash victims and a minute of silence was observed at midday in all government offices.


King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain also visited the victims in Santiago de Compostela on Thursday evening.


Spain's highest-circulation newspaper, El Pais, reported that Wednesday's derailment was the country's deadliest train crash since 1972, when an express train collided with a local commuter train and killed 86 people. Others say 76 or 77 died in the collision, which would make its death toll marginally lower than Wednesday's accident.


STRASBOURG kobe 10 think pink pas cher , France, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar was so "radically flawed" by illegal payments that the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) should hold a new vote under cleaned-up procedures, according a committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).


The PACE Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media unanimously adopted the report "The governance of world football" written by British Michael Connarty.


The selection process for the 2022 World Cup was "in breach of protocols, and so kobe 10 silk road pas cher , invalid," Connarty told Xinhua on Tuesday, following the adoption of his report.


The recommendation hinges on evidence gathered by the Sunday Times of irregular payments by the Qatari former president of the Asian Football Confederation, Mohammed bin Hammam, made to senior officials in the African football community in exchange for votes.


"There is serious evidence of bribery that I've seen. It shows that the process for 2022 was corrupt, and they're enough to invalidate that procedure by FIFA's own rules kobe 10 overcome pas cher ," Connarty said.


According to a press release published by the PACE on Tuesday, the corruption led to the early elimination of other candidates, including Japan, South Korea and Australia.


The report goes on to draw a connection between the selection process allegations and the deaths of foreign workers in World Cup construction projects that have been widely reported by the media.


"FIFA is still a very secretive organization," he said. "You have to change the rules, you have to make them completely open."
