China promotes community with shared future for humanity

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind answers the questions of the times, guides the direction for the future, and showcases China's wisdom. China, the promoter of the concept, has been putting it into practice. As the concept is repeated time and again on major international occasions, China serves to contribute its wisdom and solutions to the world. A concept that answers the questions of the times SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): XI JINPING, Chinese President "We should renew our commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, build a new model of international relations featuring mutually beneficial cooperation, and create a community of shared future for mankind." Speech at the General Debate of the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly on Sept. 28, 2015 A concept that illuminates future paths SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): XI JINPING, Chinese President "People across the world should be guided by the vision that all the people under the heaven are of one family, embrace each other with open arms, enhance mutual understanding, and seek common ground while setting aside differences. Together, we should endeavor to build a community with a shared future for mankind." Keynote speech at the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting on Dec. 1, 2017 A concept that showcases China's wisdom SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): XI JINPING, Chinese President "Great visions can be realized only through actions. Actions hold the key to building a community of shared future for mankind." Speech at the United Nations Office at Geneva on Jan. 18, 2017 When the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" was repeatedly mentioned on the international stage, China has also contributed its wisdom and solutions concerning this concept to the world. The Belt and Road development is bringing together people of all countries along the routes in a joint endeavor for common development and shared benefits through win-win cooperation, actively contributing to the global implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This is also what China's proposal of building a community of shared future for mankind aims to achieve. SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): LAN PINGYONG, President of Fuzhou Hongdong Fishery Co. Ltd. "We have a 10,000-tonne cold storage facility here, receiving the fish catch from the base in Mauritania." Lan Pingyong started his business in the 1990s with two fishing boats. Now, his company has established in Mauritania, one of China's largest overseas fishery bases, with an area of more than 90,000 square meters. SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): LAN PINGYONG, President of Fuzhou Hongdong Fishery Co. Ltd. In 2013, China put forward the Belt and Road Initiative. The countries along the Belt and Road are rich in fishery resources, and those countries along the routes fully agree with the concepts of "win-win cooperation" and "a community with a shared future for mankind." The Mauritania fishery base operates under the principle of "achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration." Over 70 percent of its workers are locals. Apart from boosting employment, the base also provided Mauritanians with training on such skills as fishing, processing, and manufacturing. Many locals have since bought boats to develop fishery. SOUNDBITE 6 (Chinese): LAN PINGYONG, President of Fuzhou Hongdong Fishery Co. Ltd. "We are also preparing to bring the domestic breeding industry and equipment to other countries, aiming for common development." Achieving the common security of all countries is an essence in the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. On the eve of June 1, 2020, the International Children's Day, members of China's peacekeeping force of engineers to Darfur in Sudan showed their hardly-seen tender side to their children at home via video link. During the one-year mission in Sudan, they have won unanimous recognition by the joint UN-African Union Mission in Darfur. On July 29, 2020, all 225 members of the force were awarded the UN Peace Medal of Honor and commended by the UN-African Union Mission in Darfur. China completed the registration of 8,000 standby troops for UN peacekeeping as of 2017, making it the country with the largest UN peacekeeping standby force and the most kinds of units. China has participated in 25 UN peacekeeping operations, dispatched more than 40,000 peacekeepers, and sent naval fleets to escort more than 6,800 merchant ships. Chinese navy hospital ship Peace Ark has provided more than 246,000 free medical services. Chinese peacekeeping forces have built and repaired approximately 17,000 kilometers of roads and over 300 bridges, and removed more than 10,000 landmines and various unexploded objects. Since the UN Peacekeeping Summit in 2015, China has dispatched 22 batches of peacekeeping engineers and medical teams with more than 6,000 personnel. China has participated in peacekeeping operations in Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Darfur in Sudan, Mali, Lebanon etc., training more than 2,500 peacekeepers for various countries. China stands for the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind. China takes it as its responsibility to ensure not just the life and health of its own citizens, but also global public health. When COVID-19 swept the world, China has also acted responsibly as a major country. It has actively participated in international cooperation in COVID-19 prevention and control, responded to the global humanitarian response plan launched by the UN, and sent a cash donation of 50 million USD to the World Health Organization. China is also making efforts to promote the building of a community of common health for mankind. By the end of August, China had sent 34 medical teams to 32 countries, provided anti-epidemic assistance to more than 150 countries and four international organizations, and held video conferences with health experts from over 180 countries and international organizations. SOUNDBITE 7 (Spanish): MIGUEL DIAZ-CANEL, Cuban President "The novel coronavirus epidemic is a global challenge that does not recognize borders, ideologies, or level of development. Therefore, countries should overcome political differences and work together to deal with it." SOUNDBITE 8 (English): SHIMAIL DAUD ARAIN, Pakistani public health specialist "The only way to really overcome such a challenge is to work together hand in hand." One home for all of mankind, a sense of mission for humanity, building a community with a shared future for mankind, these concepts are increasingly recognized by the world. In January 2017, a high-level meeting on "Building the Community of Common Destiny of Mankind" was held at the Palace of Nations in Geneva. In February 2017, the Chinese concept of building "a human community with shared destiny" was incorporated into a UN resolution for the first time. In March 2017, the concept was incorporated into a UN Security Council resolution and a UN Human Rights Council resolution for the first time. In Nov. 2017, the concept was written into two security resolutions passed by the United Nations General Assembly. In 2018, the theme of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos was "Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World." SOUNDBITE 9 (English): MATEO GOMEZ VASQUEZ, Colombian ombudsman "I think it (building a community with a shared future for mankind) is a very important initiative in this moment." SOUNDBITE 10 (English): ERIC HUTCHINGS, Member of the Utah House of Representatives "We are all gonna live together in the same planet. We are all family." SOUNDBITE 11 (English): PETER THOMSON, President of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly "Building the community for common destiny of mankind is, to me, the only future for humanity on this planet."

Newly appointed Lebanese PM steps down amid obstacles in cabinet formation

Newly appointed Lebanese Prime Minister Mustapha Adib declared on Saturday his failure to form a new cabinet given his inability to overcome obstacles hindering his mission, al-Jadeed local TV channel reported. "It has become clear for me that the consensus no longer exists noting that the efforts have reached their final stages," Adib said from Baabda Palace following his meeting with President Michel Aoun. SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): MUSTAPHA ADIB, Lebanese Prime Minister-designate "Since the efforts to form a government have reached their end, I have discovered that the consensus based on which I accepted to form a cabinet in Lebanon is no longer available and since I will not be able to form a government based on the criteria I set for myself and since I am keen to protect the national unity and the constitution, I apologize for not being able to continue with the cabinet formation process in Lebanon. I hope that the next appointed PM will be able to achieve this mission and those who he appoint will be able to face the dangers prevailing in our country and facing our economy." Adib apologized to the Lebanese people, stressing that "the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron must continue because it expresses the sincere intention of France." Adib was appointed on Aug. 31 to form a new cabinet following the resignation of Hassan Diab's cabinet after the blasts that rocked Beirut on Aug. 4. However, Adib's efforts faced several obstacles including the insistence of the two Shiite political parties to hold the Finance Ministry and name the Shiite ministers in the new cabinet. SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): WAJDI ARIDI, Political analyst "We may be experiencing different scenarios following the resignation of PM Adib on the political, security or economic levels. There is a constitutional and political vacuum, the game has become clear after Adib's resignation especially with the complicated regional and international situation. We may expect anything to happen in the coming few weeks or days. We hear a lot about planned protests and the communication taking place among western countries including France to reach consensus to refresh the French initiative noting that there has been talks about a conference in Paris gathering Lebanese politicians. I am very much worried about the political vacuum and its impact on the economic situation and living conditions in Lebanon and this was reflected by the increase in U.S. dollar; this constitutes a burden for the citizens which mean that there will be protests soon." Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Beirut. (XHTV)

Serbia commemorates daring World War Two airlift mission with monument

Date:SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 A monument shaped like a military transport plane was unveiled on a Serbian hillside on Saturday (September 26), commemorating the rescue of hundreds of allied pilots who were shot down by German forces during World War Two. About 500 airmen, mostly Americans, were brought to the village of Pranjani during 1944 to be airlifted back to base in Bari, Italy, in the bold mission behind enemy lines - known as Operation Halyard. U.S. diplomats and senior Serbian officials raised their countries' flags at the site in central Serbia during Saturday's inauguration ceremony. For more than 50 years, during Communism, the operation was not officially acknowledged or taught in schools because it received local support from royalist troops led by convicted Nazi collaborator Draza Mihajlovic. Radoljub Jankovic, a local resident who was 14 at the time of the airlifts, recounted his memories of the operation in a speech at the ceremony and presented a bottle of home-made traditional plum brandy to the U.S. ambassador to Serbia and to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. "I will make sure to drink this bottle of traditional Serbian brandy with President (Donald) Trump when he visits Serbia so he feels how American soldiers enjoyed it 76 years ago," Vucic said.

IOC and Tokyo 2020 organizers agree on measures to simplify Olympics

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo 2020 Organisers agreed Friday on about 50 simplification measures to reduce the cost for the postponed Olympic Games. The most familiar and important event to be affected will be the traditional ceremonies in the athletes' village to mark the arrival of each NOC team. Regarded as one of the most memorable occasions for the participating athletes, the ceremonies will be canceled, although Chef de Mission will have an opportunity to be greeted by the Village Mayor. Tokyo 2020 delivery officer Hidemasa Nakamura told reporters at a news conference that the ceremony was canceled as a countermeasure against the COVID-19. "We know it is very important, but we think it will not affect the competitions of the Olympic Games," he said. The opening and closing ceremonies will not be downscaled as previously revealed but the measures did mention that "simplifying the overall contents" of the opening and closing ceremonies are under "on-going consideration." Other measures include the reduction of stakeholder personnel attending the Games by 10 to 15 percent, streamlining transport services, adjusting spectator activities at competition venues and hosting a number of pre-Games meetings online. IOC Coordination Commission Chair John Coates described the measures as a "milestone" and an "important step" towards delivering a safe and successful Games in 2021. "The 'Tokyo Model' will not only deliver a Games fit for a post-corona world, but it will also become a blueprint that will benefit future Organising Committees for many years to come," the Australian said. But these are just one-quarter of over 200 simplification measures to be talked about and more challenges are lying ahead of the IOC and Olympics organizers. Tokyo 2020 President Mori Yoshiro added: "We will continue to work hard on simplifications towards next year and ask for the continued cooperation of all those involved in the Games."

Riding high: Cycling enthusiast in India builds 'tallest bike' to raise awareness for the environment

A 42-year-old man in northern India has designed a bicycle that is almost twice as tall as the average person. Rajeev Kumar, aka Johny, from Chandigarh, Punjab, has built a modified bicycle that is 8ft 6 inches tall. It can be adjusted to 10ft 6 inches and nine feet in length. It weighs just over 70kg (154lbs). "I always wanted to stand out in the crowd. Since childhood, I was tall, which led to difficulties in riding normal bicycles. I used to raise the seat, and once I raised it so much I couldn't reach the pedals. One of my friends suggested that I should raise the pedals too. From then on, I wanted to make a modified bicycle," Kumar commented. "I made my first bicycle in class 10 of my school. It was just four-feet-tall. However, soon it rusted and broke down. Hence, this time I have made the bicycle out of pure steel," he added. Kumar who has already entered India's Limca Book of Records is on a mission to make more and more people embrace riding a bicycle. "In 1996, I made my first tour from Chandigarh to Delhi. I travelled the distance on a six-feet-tall bicycle over 16 hours. That was my first entry in the Limca Book of Records," Kumar stated. "Recently in 2019, I completed another tour from Chandigarh to Mumbai. It took me two months for the journey travelling over 5100kms. It was a dream come true for me," he added. As of 2020, Kumar has completed at least six tours across India, earning several records including Unique Book of Records and India book of records. "The recent bicycle that have I made took me two years to complete. It cost me a little over Rs 1 lakh ($1,357). I started building it in 2011 and was launched in 2013. It runs at a speed of 25 km per hour (15 miles per hour). Its frame has a structure that resembles Chandigarh's Open Hand monument," he remarked. Kumar is preparing this cycle for his most crucial voyage of Kashmir to Kanyakumari, a route from the extreme north to south of India, but plans were delayed owing to the coronavirus pandemic. "The next bicycle will be even taller than this. It will be made out of pure carbon fibre and will weigh around 20kgs (44lbs). With this, I want to set a record for Guinness World Record and make my nation proud," he said. Kumar wishes to spread awareness of riding bicycles to reduce carbon footprints and in turn promote a green environment. "My motive to ride is to spread awareness on saving the environment. I want the younger generation to be aware of rising pollution and global warming. The youths in our country don't use bicycle, they feel ashamed to ride it. But I want to inspire them to use a bicycle at least once a week," Kumar concluded.

Kosovo war crimes court arrests guerrilla veterans' leader

Date:SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 European Union police on Friday (September 25) arrested the head of Kosovo's war veterans group and he was being flown to a war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands to face as yet unspecified charges, his lawyer said. The Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague, mandated to investigate and prosecute suspects in war crimes committed during Kosovo's 1998-99 guerrilla uprising against Serbian rule, declined to comment on the reported arrest. Witnesses said Hysni Gucati, head of Kosovo's War Veterans Association, was handcuffed and bundled into an EU police car by masked officers in the tiny Balkan country's capital Pristina. In recent weeks Gucati and his aides had published dozens of court documents with the names of suspects, witnesses and civilians allegedly murdered during the uprising, which eventually won Kosovo independence in 2008. Earlier this week the tribunal prosecutor's office condemned the veterans association's release of the case documents as an attempt to "undermine the proper administration of justice". It said it was committed to "vigorously investigating and prosecuting" people who sought to expose potential witnesses. The Specialist Chamber was set up in The Hague in 2015 to handle cases of alleged atrocities by Kosovo Liberation Army guerrillas during the uprising. Kosovo-based investigations have been foiled by widespread intimidation in a country where clan loyalties run deep and former rebels are lionised. The tribunal was set up in the Netherlands partly to help ensure protection of witnesses. EU police in Kosovo are empowered to make arrests related to war crimes charges if requested by the Hague-based court. In June, the chamber's prosecutor charged Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, the former guerrilla commander, with war crimes and crimes against humanity including nearly 100 murders. A judge has yet to confirm the indictment, a step required for a trial. Thaci denies wrongdoing and remains in Kosovo. (Production: Bardh Krasniqi, Anna Dabrowska) (Caption:5186CE-KOSOVO-WARCRIMES_)

For Ugandan activist, COVID curbs set new hurdle in climate fight

Date:SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 In a run-down residential compound in Kampala, Vanessa Nakate thrusts her fist in the air as she rallies 30 young demonstrators to defend their planet against climate change. "What do we want?" she shouts, to a ragged chorus of "climate justice". The youngest protester, two-year-old Manvir Ssozi, sucks his thumb as he flaps a placard that reads: "Money will be ... useless on a dead planet." Nakate's demonstration on Friday (September 25), in the Ugandan capital is part of a global day of youth action against climate change inspired by Sweden's Greta Thunberg. A wiry and vivacious 23-year-old, Nakate founded a climate education movement last year and has more than 175,000 Twitter followers. She had hoped to organise a bigger event, but that plan was derailed by COVID-19. Large gatherings are currently banned, and it frustrates her to see how such curbs have slowed the momentum she has built up. When she's not organising protests, Nakate equips schools with solar lighting and more efficient stoves, and her "Rise Up" movement" also lectures students on climate change and plants trees. Her mission was given a new urgency by heavy floods that have displaced more than a million people across South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia and parts of Uganda - a region heavily dependent on agriculture. The floods are linked to a seasonal weather variation that scientists say has been exacerbated by climate change. Warmer seas mean more water in the atmosphere and more rain, and near-surface temperatures in Uganda are also on the rise. For Nakate, the climate change debate often ignores voices from developing countries bearing the brunt of fallout caused by more industrialised nations - a topic at the heart of Friday's global protests.

Algeria reports 179 new COVID-19 cases, 50,579 in total

Algeria on Thursday reported 179 new COVID-19 cases, their lowest daily tally since June 29, bringing the total infections to 50,579, the Algerian Ministry of Health said. It also announced five new fatalities from the coronavirus, leading the death toll in the North African state to 1,703. Meanwhile, 116 more patients were discharged from hospitals, bringing the total number of recoveries to 35,544. Algerian Health Minister Abderrahmane Benbouzid on Thursday ruled out the immediate reopening of Algeria's borders which have been closed for more than six months. He explained in an interview with local media that some countries with close contacts to Algeria, such as France, are experiencing a new wave of COVID-19 outbreak. He stressed that the objective of the state is to protect the health of Algerian citizens. Algeria, which reported the first COVID-19 case on Feb. 25, has been resuming economic and commercial activities since June 7 as part of its efforts to return to normal life. China and Algeria have offered mutual help in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. In early February, Algeria sent medical donations to help China combat the coronavirus. China sent two batches of medical aid to Algeria on March 27 and April 15, respectively. A Chinese medical team arrived in Algeria on May 14 for a 15-day mission to help fight the coronavirus by sharing China's experience in curbing the spread of the contagious disease.

South Sudan floods displace 600,000 people

Date:SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 Severe flooding in crisis-hit South Sudan has forced more than 600,000 people to flee their homes since July, the United Nations warned on Thursday (September 24), after months of torrential rains caused the banks of the Nile to burst. The impoverished East African nation was already struggling to recover from a five-year civil war and suffering severe food shortages when flooding hit. Scientists say the unusual rains are caused by a cyclical weather pattern that has been exacerbated by climate change. United Nations humanitarian coordinator for South Sudan, Alain Noudehou, said the pandemic was complicating the response, with families forced to squeeze together and not enough land to establish clinics and schools. He said the UN had allocated $10 million to help flood victims, but needed $40 million more by the end of the year. Kok Manyok, 70, said he was sleeping under the trees after fleeing from his village Dorok in August with his grandchildren. "The water level reached almost halfway up my body," he told Reuters speaking in his native Dinka language. "There are no shelters for me and my grandchildren." Oil-rich South Sudan's civil war erupted two years after the country won its independence in 2011 and ended with a peace deal signed between the main parties in 2018. But not all armed groups signed the deal, and low-level clashes, banditry and attacks on aid workers continue. The conflict displaced around a third of the population, creating the worst refugee crisis in Africa since the Rwandan genocide in 1994.

Rescuers rappel down 65ft deep well to save stray kitten

Rescuers had to rappel down a 65ft-deep well to reach a kitten that was stuck in the water overnight. A neighbour heard the cat crying while she was fetching water in Semarang City, Central Java province, Indonesia, on September 22. The woman called the rescuers for help and told them it was a stray feline that had been hanging around for the last few weeks searching for food. Firefighters arrived with long ropes before building a pulley system on top of the well. The Semarang City Fire and Rescue Service said: "As soon as we received the report that night, we headed straight to the location with complete evacuation equipment." One of the rescuers attached a safety harness to the pulley before descending into the dark well. He was wearing an oxygen mask tied to a gas cylinder on his backpack and a helmet with a flashlight before he rapelled down. After a few minutes, the rescuer signalled his colleagues to bring him up and they immediately pulled the rope. The rescuer emerged with the frightened and wet black kitten that was wrapped in a towel to stop it from shivering. The rescue mission lasted for almost two hours because of the elaborate pulley they set up on the well. The house owner decided to adopt the kitten and put a cover on the well to prevent hungry strays from falling again. (Original Title: Rescuers rappel down 65ft deep well to save stray kitten)

IMMEDIATE USE FOR EUROPE GMT 0600 FOR US RIGHTS - VIDEO: Hollywood Rolled Out Its First Major Red Carpet And Film Premiere Since California's March Covid-19 Lockdown

Hollywood rolled out its first major red carpet and film premiere since California's March COVID lockdown on Monday night. Stars of the new US action movie Beckman gathered six feet apart on the red carpet and for the first hour socially distanced. However, most of the action film's cast and producers, who event organizers insisted have been COVID tested, ditched their masks and social distancing for several group photos. They did keep their distance from guests though, preferring waves and elbow bumps for the biggest event in Hollywood for six months - just a night after Jimmy Kimmel hosted the red carpet and audience less Emmys at the Staples Center. Around 150 people gathered for a red carpet and then outdoor screening of Beckman in a parking area of the Universal Hilton hotel in LA - around 200 meters from the front gates of shuttered theme park Universal Studios. Hollywood veteran David A.R. White committed to bringing back Hollywood glam with a film screening, red carpet, media line and fan section on September 21. Leading man and executive producer White was given a green light by state and city authorities to host the outdoor movie screening. As our exclusive video and photos show most of the attendees did manage to refrain from breaking CDC guidelines thanks to 6ft separations signs, free masks, plenty of hand sanitizer and a carefully marshaled red carpet. White and his team at Pure Flix Studio laid down a red carpet in the hotel patio and the outdoor theatre in the valet area. Guests were treated to a free bar, again socially distanced, and then sat eight feet apart due to carefully placed seating for the movie. Speaking on the red carpet White asserted that for talent and all attendees safety was "of the utmost importance" with all guests getting temperature checks, having hands sanitized and being handed double masks - marked with the Beckman logo. Event PR Roger Neal declared the evening a 'success' adding that major studio executives and Hollywood's biggest publicity companies will have learned valuable lessons, given that live in person events have been closed in Los Angeles since Mayor Eric Garcetti's lockdown order in March. Organisers of the Golden Globes and Academy Awards too will have been fascinated by the first post COVID-19 premiere given that they hope to have guests and media in person for their 2021 awards shows. The Beckman premiere may have been a small fry compared to Hollywood's famous galas often held on Hollywood Boulevard, but White admits it took just as much work. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and White, who has enjoyed a long career thanks to hits like Evening Shade and God Is Not Dead, spent weeks building up to this breakthrough event Their team, under the guidance of Neal, followed strict health and safety guidelines from the CDC and Los Angeles County. Neal feels that major studios, who have cancelled summer and fall premiers and releases, should take note of the Beckman opening night. Neal believes that these studios' financially could do more to increase safety and distancing. Cast members Kira Reed Lorschi, Nobuaki Shimamoto, Samantha Cormier, Bryna Weiss, Xander, Madison Mae, Lynette Dupree, Kelly Heyer, Vanessa Angel and Bright Sharbino posed up on the red carpet. Other guests included Happy Days' Scott Baio and daughter Bailey, The Bay's Terri Ovens and former WWE star turned actress Danielle Moinet. Beckman sees White in the lead role as an assassin turned preacher, who takes on his deadliest mission after learning a cult leader has kidnapped his daughter. In a throwback to 1980s high octane action flicks, Beckman tracks down the killer during a bloody vengeance-filled hunt across Los Angeles. Directed by Gabriel Sabloff, his journey sees him struggle with controlling his past no nonsense killing methods while balancing his newfound faith Beckman releases on DVD nationally as well as PPV & VOD on all digital platforms on September 21.

UN, a pioneering initiative never before undertaken | Stories shared by Xi Jinping

Seventy-five years ago, the United Nations came into being with one central mission: the maintenance of international peace and security. "This was a pioneering initiative never before undertaken," said Chinese President Xi Jinping. Voice of Chinese President Xi Jinping 1 "Seventy years ago, that generation, with vision and foresight, established the United Nations. This universal and most representative and authoritative international organization has carried mankind's hope for a new future and ushered in a new era of cooperation. This was a pioneering initiative never before undertaken." The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter, which was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of 50 countries including China. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "The Charter brought rules and hope to a world in ruins." For 75 years, the United Nations has led global efforts to achieve peace, dignity and equality on a healthy planet. Voice of Chinese President Xi Jinping 2 "Peace is the common aspiration and lofty goal shared by all mankind. It was for the purpose of securing peace that the UN peacekeeping operations came into being, which has become an important means of upholding world peace and security." SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): GAO SHANGTAO, Professor, China Foreign Affairs University "Since China first participated in peacekeeping operations in 1990, the Chinese military has dispatched more than 40,000 military personnel, of which 16 Chinese peacekeepers have given their precious lives for the cause of world peace." Shen Liangliang, a 29-year-old First Sergeant, was one of them. He died in a terrorist attack on May 31, 2016 in Mali, when a car bomb went off at a United Nations camp. SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese) LIU JIPING, China's 4th batch of peacekeepers to Mali "Shen Liangliang used his life to fulfill the mission and responsibilities of a soldier. As peacekeepers, we are willing to shed our blood and sweat to stick to our oath of 'fighting for peace.'" SOUNDBITE 4 (English): ATUL KHARE, UN Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support "China has played a very critical and a very important role in United Nations' peacekeeping." In today's world, peace and development remain the dominant themes of the times. In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was unanimously adopted by leaders of all 193 United Nations member states. Ending poverty tops the 17 UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): GAO WENJUN, Associate researcher, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences "The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and poverty eradication is the top priority. Since the reform and opening up, China has contributed to more than 70% of global poverty alleviation. By 2020, China will finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, which means that it will meet poverty alleviation goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule." SOUNDBITE 6 (English): RICHARD A. BLACK, Member of Schiller Institute "China has also been promoting international cooperation in poverty reduction. For example, it has actively carried out South-South cooperation to help countries in participating in the co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative to increase employment and improve people's livelihood." SOUNDBITE 7 (English): DAVID MULDROW BEASLEY, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, UN "China has proved that they are not just talkers, they are doers." "Peace and development: this has been the aspiration held dear by mankind over the past century," said the Chinese president in a keynote speech at the UN Office at Geneva in January 2017. Voice of Chinese President Xi Jinping 3 "China's proposition is: build a community of shared future for mankind and achieve shared and win-win development." The concept resonates with the world and has been written into various documents including UN resolutions. SOUNDBITE 8 (Chinese): ZHAO KE, Associate Professor, Party School of the Central Committee of CPC "In face of the complex international situation, we must uphold the concept of 'one world, one family' and build an open, inclusive, clean, and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity."

China's Mars probe completes second orbital correction

China's Mars probe Tianwen-1 successfully carried out its second orbital correction Sunday, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The probe conducted the orbital correction at 11 p.m. Sunday (Beijing Time) after four of its 120N engines worked for 20 seconds. The performance of the 120N engines was also tested in the operation. The probe has traveled about 60 days in orbit, and was about 19 million km away from the Earth. All systems of the probe were in good condition, said the CNSA. China launched the Mars probe on July 23, kicking off the country's independent planetary exploration mission. The spacecraft, consisting of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover, is expected to reach the red planet around February 2021. The expected touchdown date is in May 2021, about three months after Tianwen-1 arrives in the Mars orbit. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Beijing. (XHTV)

Sima Sadat Lari, the spokeswoman for the Ministry, said at her daily briefing 1,272 new patients have been hospitalized in the past 24 hours. And 183 deaths from COVID-19 have been registered in Iran, taking the death toll over the novel coronavirus to 24,301, Sadat Lari announced. The number of people recovered from the disease by Sunday reached 359,570, according to official figures. Meanwhile, 3,898 COVID-19 patients are currently in critical condition and being treated in intensive care units, Sadat Lari said. The risk of infection is considered high in 24 out of 31 Iranian provinces, while five others are on alert over the virus. Iran announced its first cases of COVID-19 on Feb. 19. Iran and China have offered mutual help in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-February, at the early stage of the coronavirus outbreak in China, Iran lit up the Tehran Azadi (Liberty) Tower to show its solidarity with China and donated 3 million masks to China. In return, China delivered several shipments of medical supplies to Iran. On Feb. 29, a five-member Chinese medical team visited Iran for a month-long mission to help Iran fight the pandemic.

U.S. to slap sanctions on over two dozen targets tied to Iran arms

Date:SEPTEMBER 20, 2020, FILE The United States on Monday (September 21) will sanction more than two dozen people and entities involved in Iran's nuclear, missile and conventional arms programs, a senior U.S. official said, putting teeth behind U.N. sanctions on Tehran that Washington argues have resumed despite the opposition of allies and adversaries. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Iran could have enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon by the end of the year and that Tehran has resumed long-range missile cooperation with nuclear-armed North Korea. He did not provide detailed evidence regarding either assertion. The new sanctions fit into U.S. President Donald Trump's effort to limit Iran's regional influence and come a week after U.S.-brokered deals for the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to normalize ties with Israel, pacts that may coalesce a wider coalition against Iran while appealing to pro-Israel U.S. voters ahead of the Nov. 3 election. The new sanctions also put European allies, China and Russia on notice that while their inclination may be to ignore the U.S. drive to maintain the U.N. sanctions on Iran, companies based in their nations would feel the bite for violating them. A major part of the new U.S. push is an executive order targeting those who buy or sell Iran conventional arms that was previously reported by Reuters and will also be unveiled by the Trump administration on Monday, the official said. The Trump administration suspects Iran of seeking nuclear weapons - something Tehran denies - and Monday's punitive steps are the latest in a series seeking to stymie Iran's atomic program, which U.S. ally Israel views as an existential threat. "Iran is clearly doing everything it can to keep in existence a virtual turnkey capability to get back into the weaponization business at a moment's notice should it choose to do so," the U.S. official told Reuters. The official argued Iran wants a nuclear weapons capability and the means to deliver it despite the 2015 deal that sought to prevent this by restraining Iran's atomic program in return for access to the world market. In May 2018, Trump abandoned that agreement to the dismay of the other parties - Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia - and restored U.S. sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy. Iran, in turn, has gradually breached the central limits in that deal, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), including on the size of its stockpile of low-enriched uranium as well as the level of purity to which it was allowed to enrich uranium. "Because of Iran's provocative nuclear escalation, it could have sufficient fissile material for a nuclear weapon by the end of this year," the official said without elaborating except to say this was based on "the totality" of information available to the United States, including from the IAEA. The Vienna-based agency has said Iran only began significantly breaching the 2015 deal's limits after the U.S. withdrawal and it is still enriching uranium only up to 4.5%, well below the 20% it had achieved before that agreement, let alone the roughly 90% purity that is considered weapons-grade, suitable for an atomic bomb. "Iran and North Korea have resumed cooperation on a long-range missile project, including the transfer of critical parts," he added, declining to say when such joint work first began, stopped, and then started again. Asked to comment on the impending new U.S. sanctions and the U.S. official's other statements, a spokesman for Iran's mission to the United Nations dismissed them as propaganda and said they would further isolate the United States. "The U.S.' 'maximum pressure' show, which includes new propaganda measures almost every week, has clearly failed miserably, and announcing new measures will not change this fact," the mission's spokesman, Alireza Miryousefi, told Reuters in an email. "The entire world understands that these are a part of (the) next U.S. election campaign, and they are ignoring the U.S.' preposterous claims at the U.N. today. It will only make (the) U.S. more isolated in world affairs," he said. The White House declined comment in advance of Monday's announcements. 'SNAP BACK' OF U.N. SANCTIONS? The U.S. official confirmed Trump will issue an executive order that would allow the United States to punish those who buy or sell conventional arms to Iran with secondary sanctions, depriving them of access to the U.S. market. The proximate cause for this U.S. action is the impending expiration of a U.N. arms embargo on Iran and to warn foreign actors - U.S. entities are already barred from such trade - that if they buy or sell arms to Iran they will face U.S. sanctions. Under the 2015 nuclear deal the U.N. conventional arms embargo is set to expire on Oct. 18. The United States says it has triggered a "snap back," or resumption, of virtually all U.N. sanctions on Iran, including the arms embargo, to come into effect at 8 p.m. on Saturday/0000 GMT on Sunday. Other parties to the nuclear deal and most U.N. Security Council members have said they do not believe the United States has the right to reimpose the U.N. sanctions and that the U.S. move has no legal effect. On Friday, Britain, France and Germany told the Security Council that U.N. sanctions relief for Iran - agreed under the 2015 nuclear deal - would continue beyond Sunday, despite Washington's assertion. In letters to the Security Council on Saturday, China's U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun and Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia both described the U.S. move as "illegitimate" and said the U.N. sanctions relief for Iran would continue. Also on Saturday, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council he cannot act on the U.S. declaration that U.N. sanctions had been reimposed because it was not clear whether they had snapped back. "It is not for the Secretary-General to proceed as if no such uncertainty exists," he said. TARGETS INCLUDE IRAN'S NUCLEAR, MISSILE, ARMS GROUPS The new executive order will define conventional weapons broadly as any item with a potential military use, meaning it could cover such things as speed boats that Iran retrofits to harass vessels in international waters, the U.S. official told Reuters. It would also apply to conventional circuit boards that can be used in ballistic missile guidance systems, he added. The more than two dozen targets to be hit with sanctions on Monday include those involved in Iran's conventional arms, nuclear and missile programs, the official said, saying some of the targets are already sanctioned under other U.S. programs. That could prompt criticism that the U.S. move is redundant and designed for public relations purposes to look tough on Iran, a charge critics have made about past U.S. sanctions actions. Among the targets will be Iran's "most nefarious arms organizations," about a dozen senior officials, scientists and experts from Iran's nuclear complex, members of a procurement network that supplies military-grade dual-use goods for Iran's missile program, and several senior officials involved in Iran's ballistic missile program, the U.S. official said. The official declined to name the targets, saying this would be made public on Monday, and stressed that the United States wants to deter foreign companies from dealing with them even if their governments believe this is legally permitted. "You might have a split in some countries where a foreign government may claim that the U.N. sanctions don't snap back but their banks and companies will abide by U.S. sanctions because they want to make sure they are not a future target," he said.

Airplane painted in theme for China International Import Expo enchants Sri Lankans

A Boeing 777-300ER jet painted in the theme for the China International Import Expo (CIIE) has enchanted Sri Lankans recently. The special flight from the China Eastern Airlines touched down at the Bandaranaike International airport in the country's capital on Friday evening with the mission to promote the expo and also highlight China-Sri Lanka trade, economic cooperation, and friendship. The aircraft is gaily painted in blue, prominently displaying the insignia of the China International Import Expo Bureau, organizer of the trade event. The CIIE's theme -- "New Era, Shared Future" and the mascot -- giant panda "Jinbao" painted on the aircraft were eye-catching. As the protagonist of the expo, "Jinbao" was shown holding the four-leaf clover, in an expression of blessing. The third CIIE is slated to be held in November in Shanghai. China Eastern Airlines is the designated air carrier for the event. Earlier, Prabhash Subasinghe, chairman of the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) expressed high expectations from the CIIE when he met with Yang Zuoyuan, commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka. Subasinghe said that the CIIE in Shanghai would enable China to open its market and promote trade. The expo will also be a platform for other countries to showcase their development achievements and discuss global economic and trade issues. The EDB will arrange for local enterprises to actively participate in the CIIE, Subasinghe assured. China is a very important trading partner for Sri Lanka. According to local media, Sri Lankan exporters and producers from the apparel, spices, fresh fruits, and other food & agriculture product sectors are expecting to explore the lucrative Chinese market.

Musician calls for peace in South Sudan ahead of Int'l Day of Peace

South Sudanese singer Simon Kero called on his country to "forget conflict and live in peace" ahead of the International Day of Peace which falls on Sept. 21. The UN Mission in South Sudan said it was joining hands with its partners to bring voices advocating for durable peace in the world's newest country, which continues to suffer from conflict, death and displacement years after the civil war ended. With a new Transitional Government of National Unity in place, Kero, 45, speaks about the pain experienced by the South Sudanese and lays out his vision for a country united by love and peace. SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): SIMON KERO, South Sudanese Musician "When I was composing this song, I had tears in my eyes. Why is there no peace in South Sudan? I convert my pain into the song so that people can listen and dream of peace in South Sudan. Let us not take our country to war every day; we are all tired of growing up amidst war. Let us forget conflict and live in peace, so we can build our country. Our children are being ruined without education." Many South Sudanese feel the same sense of helplessness with ongoing violence and the lack of security. Though the Revitalized Peace Agreement was signed in September 2018, many believe that little has been done to fully implement it. SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): SIMON KERO, South Sudanese Musician "Our security situation is better but still we hear gunshots. We are told stories of people being killed here and there around the country. We hear about homes and shops being looted. It's something that makes me thankful for the relative peace some of us have. If a time comes when there is no insecurity at all, it is then that I will say, yes there is peace in South Sudan. But, even hearing about violence and killing creates fear in me." South Sudan's ongoing conflict is compounded by a lack of development and basic infrastructures, such as hospitals, schools, and police stations. On this year's International Day of Peace, The UN Mission in South Sudan reiterated its commitment to doing everything it can to ensure a future of peace and prosperity for all South Sudanese.

U.S. delivers more planes to boost Afghanistan's air force

Date:SEPTEMBER 17, 2020 The United States military on Thursday (September 17) handed over four new A-29 Super Tucano planes to boost Afghan defence forces at a ceremony held at the Afghan air force base in Kabul. Speaking during the handover ceremony of the aircraft, U.S. General John Deedrick, Commander Of 1st Special Forces Command, said that NATO remains committed to assisting Afghanistan with training, funding and denies safe haven for the International terrorism. At the same ceremony, Afghan acting defence minister Asadullah Khalid said the Afghan forces would be ready to defend their country if the NATO troops leave. In addition to the four new aircraft, the U.S has given 18 A-29 Super Tucano planes to the Afghan forces since 2016. Violence has continued in the country even after the launch of historic peace talks at an opening ceremony in Doha on Saturday (September 12). Talks between the two sides were to begin shortly after a U.S.-Taliban agreement in February but started only after months of delays, caused in part by continuing Taliban offensives in the war-torn country as well as disagreement over the release of prisoners. U.S. President Donald Trump has made ending the war in Afghanistan a key election promise, and the United States is set to withdraw all its troops by May 2021, subject to the Taliban meeting certain security guarantees.

Snake catchers use huge candles to force a cobra out from hiding place

Snake handlers used large candles to catch a large cobra that was hiding under a man's house. Jirasak Chuenarom, 38, was climbing down the steps of his home in Chachoengsao, central Thailand when he saw the 6ft cobra coiled user the staircase on September 16. The startled snake swiftly took refuge underneath his raised cement home so he called the rescue team. After spotting Jirasak's single storey home, the specialist knew the task wouldn't be easy. They attempted to scare the cobra out by spraying water in using a hose, and also drilled into the steel where the snake was hiding but to no avail. The neighbours also came to assist in the mission by spraying pesticides into the snake's hiding spot, but it showed no sign of budging. Rescue team members then bought two medium-sized Buddhist lent candles. The specialist lit the candles up and began to heat up the cobra's location. The jet-black cobra couldn't stand the heat and crawled out of the basement. The team quickly grabbed the snake's head. Jirasak said: "I was so shocked when I saw the snake crawling past the stairs. I took out the torch to scare it and called the team right away." The captured cobra was released back into the forest.

Maduro security forces committed crimes against humanity: U.N.

Date:SEPTEMBER 16, 2020, FILE Venezuelan security forces and allied groups have committed systematic human rights violations, including killings and torture amounting to crimes against humanity, United Nations investigators said on Wednesday (September 16). Reasonable grounds existed to believe that President Nicolas Maduro and his interior and defence ministers ordered or contributed to the crimes documented in the report in order to silence opposition, they said. Most unlawful executions by state agents have not been prosecuted in Venezuela, where the rule of law and democratic institutions have broken down, they added. The U.N. fact-finding mission said other national jurisdictions and the International Criminal Court (ICC), which opened a preliminary examination into Venezuela in 2018, should consider prosecutions. It would share its database containing the names of officers identified by victims. There was no immediate response by Maduro's leftist government to the report, based on more than 270 interviews with victims, witnesses, former officials and lawyers, and confidential documents. They included the former head of the National Intelligence Service, General Christopher Figuera, whose testimony was corroborated, it said. The panel found that officers in the military, police and intelligence had committed extrajudicial killings. The panel also said it had reasonable grounds to believe intelligence services falsified or planted evidence on victims and that its agents tortured detainees. They included opposition lawmaker Fernando Alban, who the government said committed suicide in 2018 but whose party said was murdered. Navy Captain Rafael Acosta was believed to have died of torture in the custody of the military intelligence agency DGCIM last year, the U.N. experts said.

Europe and U.S. join forces to test astroid deflection technology

Date:SEPTEMBER 15, 2020, FILE The European space agency (ESA) signed a 129.4 million euros($153.80 million) contract on Tuesday for the production of a spacecraft that will be part of a joint project with NASA to explore how to deflect an asteroid heading for Earth. NASA is due to launch a spacecraft in June 2021 set on a collision course with the Dimorphos that orbits the Didymos asteroid to test whether it would be possible to nudge objects that might be threatening Earth onto a safer path. ESA will then launch its spacecraft - named Hera after the Greek goddess of marriage - in October 2024 to map the resulting impact crater and measure the asteroid's mass, reaching the Didymos system in late 2026 for a six-month survey. If the NASA mission succeeds, ESA said it would be the first celestial body to be deliberately shifted by a human craft. Dimorphos has a diameter of 160 metres, about the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which ESA said was big enough to destroy an entire city if it were to hit Earth. Hera, set to be only the size of a desk, should navigate autonomously around the asteroid while it collects data. It will also launch mini satellites - 10 cm cubes which will be able to fly much closer to the asteroid's surface. The contract signed with a consortium led by German space and technology group OHB covers the complete development, integration and testing of the Hera craft, including the guidance, navigation and control system. The mission is reminiscent of the 1998 film Armageddon, in which actor Bruce Willis plays a member of a team sent to destroy an asteroid to save Earth.

The mission is reminiscent of the 1998 film Armageddon, in which actor Bruce Willis plays a member of a team sent to destroy an asteroid to save Earth.

75 years on, China becomes key global player committed to implementing UN agenda

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. Seventy-five years ago, the UN was established and the UN Charter formulated, which laid the cornerstone of the modern international order. The charter was signed at the end of World War II when the world leaders felt a strong need for a mechanism that would help bring peace and stop future wars, which was possible only if all nations worked together through a global organization. Today, with the same vision of building a better world, the United Nations is marking the milestone anniversary as countries are mired in an unprecedented pandemic. Meanwhile, problems of discrimination, climate change, poverty and inequality are still raging, bringing risks and uncertainties. At a time when the world needs collective action the most, it witnesses protectionism and unilateralism that wreck international cooperation. Being the first country to sign the UN Charter, China has honored its commitments to the purposes and principles of the document, and has been supporting efforts to defend the authority and functions of the UN. So far, the Asian country has joined more than 100 inter-governmental organizations and signed more than 500 multilateral treaties. Actively docking its own development goals and plans with the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, China has also reached many sustainable development goals early at home, achieving remarkable results in areas like poverty alleviation and climate governance. China also showed staunch support for the UN agenda in terms of anti-terrorism and peacekeeping through real terms actions, and deepen cooperation with the UN under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, injecting great vitality into realizing the sustainable development agenda in developing countries. China fully supports the work of the UN and delivers on the actions in economy, health, poverty reduction, peace-keeping, multilateralism, etc. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): COSTANTINOS BT. COSTANTINOS, Former economic advisor to African Union and UN Economic Commission for Africa "One of the most significant things that has happened since World War II is the emergence of China as a global economic power." SOUNDBITE 2 (English): RICHARD BLACK, Member of Schiller Institute in New York "China has also been promoting international cooperation in poverty reduction. It helps countries in participating in the co-construction of 'the Belt and Road Initiative' to increase employment, improve people's livelihood, and to provide assistance to other developing countries without attaching any political conditions within its capabilities." China, with more than 2,500 "blue helmets" across the world, is now the largest contributor of personnel to UN peacekeeping missions among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): ATUL KHARE, UN under-secretary-general for operational support "China has played a very critical and a very important role in the United Nations' peacekeeping. It is today the second largest financial contributor to the budgets of peacekeeping. And it is the largest contributor of troops amongst the permanent members of the security council to peacekeeping." SOUNDBITE 4 (English): BORGE BRENDE, President of World Economic Forum "I think China has committed to the Paris Protocol, as also wants to decouple growth economic from growth in CO2, wants then to stabilise CO2 emissions and then start to reduce, and what China has contributed to when it comes to making renewable energy cheaper is incredible." SOUNDBITE 5 (English): FABRIZIO HOCHSCHILD DRUMMOND, Special adviser on preparations for commemoration of 75th anniversary of UN "It (China) is a tremendously important actor in the UN and it is shaping the future of the globe."

Hong Kong completes mass COVID-19 screening, 1.78 million tested

Hong Kong on Monday evening completed its mass COVID-19 screening program launched two weeks ago, with the participation of some 1.78 million residents in total. Most of the specimens collected under the Universal Community Testing Program, nearly 1.72 million, had been tested by 8:00 p.m. on Monday, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said in a statement. The program was aimed at identifying asymptomatic patients and cutting invisible transmission chains as Hong Kong faced the third round of epidemic outbreak starting early July. As Hong Kong lagged behind in testing capacity, the central government acted swiftly to offer enormous support in medical resources and experts. A spokesman of the HKSAR government said Monday the successful and smooth operation of the program hinged on the full support of the central government, with a nucleic acid test support team established to enhance the testing capacity of Hong Kong in a short period of time. "More than 570 members of the support team have completed their mission by working zealously days and nights at the temporary air-inflated laboratories," the spokesman said. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): LI DACHUAN, Chief leader of mainland support team "In order to improve our working efficiency, we decided to work in different shifts. Each shift consists of 10 groups of people, including on-site group, material preparation group, data analysis group, unpacking group, sampling group, extraction group, amplification group, analysis group and others. Just like an assembly line, each person is only responsible for one task in each shift, which is very efficient. But it also poses great physical and psychological challenges to our support team members." Qiu Hong, deputy head of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR, said the central government and the mainland are the strongest backing of Hong Kong and called for joint efforts of the society to win the anti-epidemic fight and push Hong Kong back on track at an early date. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): QIU HONG, Deputy head, Liaison Office of Central People's Government in HKSAR "This support mission makes us deeply feel once again that the central government and the people of the motherland are always the strongest backing of Hong Kong at any time. A strong motherland brings confidence to all Chinese people, including the Hong Kong people. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the central government, and with our joint efforts, Hong Kong will be able to win the battle against the COVID-19, revive the economy, improve people's livelihood and restore prosperity and stability." "Although the epidemic situation in Hong Kong has subsided, there are still asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in the community," the HKSAR government spokesman said, vowing to extend and conduct repeated testing for targeted and vulnerable groups. Hong Kong reported 14 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, bringing the tally of confirmed cases to 4,971. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Hong Kong, China. (XHTV)

UN Mission in Venezuela: "arbitrary executions and the systematic use of torture constitute crimes against humanity"

Nicolás Maduro and the most important ministers are linked to possible "crimes against humanity," said a UN mission on Wednesday when presenting a report that seeks the systematic use of torture and extrajudicial executions in that country. “The Mission found reasonable grounds to believe that the Venezuelan authorities and security forces have planned and carried out serious human rights violations since 2014, some of which - including arbitrary executions and the systematic use of torture - constitute crimes against humanity", said the president of the mission, Marta Valiñas, quoted in a statement. "Far from being isolated acts, these crimes were coordinated and committed following State policies, with the knowledge or direct support of the commanders and senior government officials," Valiñas added. Venezuela has experienced a political crisis since 2015, which deepened in 2019 when the opposition leader and head of parliament, Juan Guaidó, proclaimed himself president in charge of the country, after declaring that Maduro usurped office after being re-elected in the elections a year earlier. In July, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, criticized the situation in the country by presenting a report denouncing "arbitrary detentions, violations of due process guarantees" and cases of "torture and disappearances. forced ”. On this occasion, the United Nations Independent International Fact-finding Mission on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela investigated 223 cases, 48 ​​of which were examined in depth in a comprehensive 443-page report. Besides, it studied 2,891 other cases to “corroborate the patterns of violations and crimes,” such as extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and torture. However, this mission was unable to visit Venezuela, due to "the government did not respond to repeated requests" and travel restrictions in force due to the new coronavirus pandemic, and conducted 274 remote interviews, the report explains. Although the mission recognizes “the nature of the crisis and the tensions in the country and the State's responsibility to maintain public order,” it found that “the Government, state agents and the groups that worked with them had committed flagrant violations of the human rights of men and women in Venezuela ”.

UN calls for involvement of youth in peace initiatives in Somalia

The UN has called for the involvement of youth in peace initiatives in Somalia as the country's efforts with youth, peace and security were highlighted at a virtual meeting of the UN Security Council. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs called for the effective implementation of the youth, peace and security agenda, involving all key stakeholders. "The continued support of the member states and, importantly, the Security Council, is needed to make further progress on this agenda," DiCarlo said in a statement issued by the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) on Friday after the meeting. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ROSEMARY DICARLO, UN Undersecretary-General for Political Affairs "Continued support of member states and importantly, the Security Council, is needed to make further progress on this agenda. We must build on the fact that the active participation and inclusion of young people, in political processes in peace building, is no longer viewed as an optional or as an afterthought. It has rightly become one of the cornerstones of the sustaining peace agenda." A former UN Youth Advisor for Somalia, Joao Scarpelini, said although young Somalis face many challenges and have very limited opportunities, they have been working to create change, to build peace and to accelerate development. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JOAO SCARPELINI, Former UN Youth Advisor for Somalia "Although young Somalis face many challenges and have very limited opportunities, long before the adoption of resolution 2250, they have been working to create change, to build peace and to accelerate development. Very often, those are informal groups of volunteers, that are creatively finding ways to mobilize their peers, and improve communities with limited resources and often without institutional support." Scarpelini said Somalia's youth have asked the international community for help "with very simple pleas: they wanted to be heard and seen, they wanted their positive contributions to be recognized, and they wanted agency and an opportunity to make a difference in the country they love so much." Previously, the Council had highlighted the key role that young people can play in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, peace-building and sustaining peace, as well as the importance of facilitating youth participation and leadership in these areas.

Kurdish hikers take to the mountains despite security risk, poor infrastructure

Date:SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 In summertime, hikes organized by the "Halo Alpinist Group" start at sunrise, before the scorching heat makes the ascent harder than it already seems to the group's new members who cast worried glances at Safeen mountain's peak. The head of the group, Azad Gardi, takes his mission seriously: new members undergo training before joining and hikes always start with a warming up session. Hikers are from various backgrounds, from policemen to doctors in physics, and belong to different religious groups. They have a common passion, spending hours in nature to escape the daily flow of bad political news a country like Iraq has been facing for years. Gardi started the group in 2014, after spending years hiking with a small group of friends. Today, his association has over 200 members. Hiking activities became increasingly popular in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region after 2017 and the end of the war against the Islamic State, that made the region much safer. Still, hikers are ready to take risks when they climb peaks located in the border areas regularly shelled by the Turkish airforce targeting PKK elements stationed nearby. They are ready to take this risk because mountains are very dear to the Kurds, one of the hikers, Fateh Yasin, told Reuters. Historically, Kurds in the region have often taken to the peaks to flee military threats. The head of Kurdistan's "Mountaineering and Climbing Federation", Anwar Dolameri, says that nature tourism has a lot of potential in the area, but the government has yet to invest in the necessary infrastructures to attract foreign visitors. Meanwhile, Dolameri endeavours to not only help locals discover nature, but also teaches them how to preserve it, scolding those among the group who tried to leave their trash behind.

Keeping spirit of wartime university alive | Stories shared by Xi Jinping

The National Southwest Associated University (NSAU) was a wartime university established in 1938 in Kunming. In its eight-year presence, it trained talent and spread culture despite difficulties. Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the former site of the NSAU in January. He said that the university nurtured talented people amid the national crisis and they played a vital role later in building a better China. The NSAU was a coalition between Peking and Tsinghua universities in Beijing and Tianjin's Nankai University during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In 1937, Japan started its full-scale invasion of China. Amid the crisis, Peking, Tsinghua and Nankai universities jointly established an interim university in Changsha, Hunan. As the warfare worsened, they moved the university to Kunming and named it NSAU. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): WU BAOZHANG, Professor, Yunnan Normal University "They passed through mountainous areas in Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan, and even encountered bandits. Such experiences let them get to know the bottom of the Chinese society. Many professors thus began to study social issues and border issues." SOUNDBITE (Chinese): LI HONGYING, Curator, NSAU Museum, Yunnan Normal University "The NSAU was founded in Kunming in 1938. Presidents of the three universities became three standing committee members to jointly manage the school affairs, and reached the consensus of 'three schools being one family.' A very strong academic atmosphere formed amid the national crisis." This is the only classroom left till today. Rammed earth walls, iron sheet roofs, shabby stools and no desks at all -- the poor conditions didn't dampen students' passion for study at all. Life was hard for the professors due to frequent bombing of Japanese planes, devaluation and inflation. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): HU BANGDING, Former Student of History Department, NSAU "Teachers' lives were really hard. Wen Yiduo had a big family of eight members. Almost two-thirds of the income was earned by engraving seals." In the hardship, teachers and students were united more than ever. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): HU BANGDING, Former Student of History Department, NSAU "Learn to be an excellent teacher; act as an exemplary person. We need to create an environment where we not only learn knowledge, but also learn how to be a person." Such an environment cultivated grateful hearts. Nobel laureates Yang Chen-ning and Tsung-dao Lee both studied at the NSAU. After winning the prize in physics, they wrote to their teacher Wu Ta-you to express their gratitude. As war went on, some NSAU teachers and students gave up the pen for the sword and went to the battlefield. The NSAU closed its doors in 1946 when the three universities moved back to Beijing and Tianjin. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ZHENG YI, Daughter of Guan Ying who studied in NSAU "My mother often said that the NSAU influenced her whole life. The university kept cultivating talent for the country and committed itself to research and study in the extremely difficult environment. So she dedicated herself to passing on the spirit and the notion to next generations. Central Primary School in Guishan Town, Yi Autonomous County of Shilin is donated by NSAU alumni, which carries forward the university spirit and nurtures future generations. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): JIN FUJUN, Deputy curator, History Museum of Tsinghua University "A nation will prosper when its education prospers; a country will be strong when its eduction is strong. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches importance to the close link between education and the fate and future of the country, outlining the fundamental task of the national education work and pointing out the direction for the modernization of education in the new era. This also encourages young people to translate their aspirations into actions to serve the country, and work hard to become a new generation capable of shouldering the great mission of national rejuvenation."

Ethiopian president commends landmark Chinese-built avenue

Ethiopian President Sahle-Work Zewde on Thursday commended the progress of a Chinese-built landmark recreational avenue located at the heart of the east African country's capital, Addis Ababa. Speaking during an event that witnessed a major milestone of the recreational avenue, dubbed Friendship Square and part of the grand Beautifying Sheger Project in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian president said the project has been built in a way that fits Addis Ababa's reputation as the political capital of Africa. The Friendship Square is under construction by the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) in less than a year. The project covers 32 hectares of the first phase. SOUNDBITE 1 (Amharic): SAHLE-WORK ZEWDE, Ethiopian President "All Ethiopians are proud today. This public recreational place matches Addis Ababa's reputation as Africa's capital. This and many other things done will undoubtedly increase the stature of the city. This is a place that makes you feel you have travelled nationwide without going outside the city. Seeing and doing a thing which is out of ordinary will widen our horizon." Addis Ababa hosts the headquarters of the African Union (AU) Commission, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) as well as more than 100 diplomatic missions. The Friendship Square features such tourist attraction elements as an embossed wall, portraits of human migration routes and calla-lily-shaped podium. Tan Jian, Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia, said the Friendship Square is a timely gift to Ethiopians, who are about to celebrate their Ethiopian New Year on Friday. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): TAN JIAN, Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia "The friendship square could be a timely gift for this new year. It will become the new landmark of Addis Ababa. It has many salient features: it reflects the civilization, cultural diversity and unity of this great country, Ethiopia. It showcases the best of Ethiopia to all people across the African continent and across the world at large." Tan further said the flagship project, which is built for free as part of China Aid program, will boost Ethiopia's services sector and further promote the country's tourism potential. Already, Ethiopia and China are partnering to start the second phase of Friendship Square, which is expected to include a Palace of Science and Technology, a Wedding Garden and a children's park.

Zhang Dingyu, hero doctor fighting ALS and coronavirus

Perhaps no hero is coming to save Zhang Dingyu, a 56-year-old doctor with an incurable disease. But over the past months, he has been a hero to many in Wuhan, the former epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China. Heading Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, one of the major battlefields amid the epidemic, Zhang knows his clock is ticking. Having amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), he will progressively lose muscle strength, and eventually become paralyzed and unable to speak, move, swallow, or even breathe. But the ALS sufferer and his colleagues have treated and saved more than 2,800 COVID-19 patients, many of whom were severely and critically ill. Zhang has been awarded the national honorary title, "the People's Hero," for his outstanding contributions to the country's fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital About 30 people will receive the recovered patients for follow-up checks in the afternoon, right? (Yes, in the afternoon.) These recovered patients, their conditions, physically and mentally, should be cared for by us. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "We hope there is a scientific number, a real conclusion, to tell people the actual influence of the disease and what kinds of problems they will face. So they can better return to society and normal lives. Meanwhile, we can tell the international community and our medical peers how have the patients been doing half a year later after their recoveries. That's why we have arranged the follow-up checks." SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "We saw these patients with symptoms that were different from common respiratory infectious diseases. We felt helpless." SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "We told our staff to keep spirits up, to stay positive, because we were in the eye of the storm. I have told them to protect our city, our Wuhan people. The number of patients was growing, and more and more severe patients died. That was the reality we faced. As the head of the hospital, a doctor, could I ignore that? No, we should face it! When facing this situation, we would be on alert. If not, that would be dereliction and neglect of duty." SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "I might be unable to move in the future. While I can walk and work, why don't I?" SOUNDBITE 6 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "When I drove back home, I burst into tears. I was frightened." SOUNDBITE 7 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "We knew we had to persist though we didn't know how long we could persist. We never expected that a medical team with the People's Liberation Army from Shanghai could come to rescue. We didn't expect that at all. That moment touched me the most." SOUNDBITE 8 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "The whole society returns to normal. When I see the return of normal life, I feel really excited, full of happiness. It touches me a lot, seeing people could live a normal life again." SOUNDBITE 9 (Chinese): ZHANG DINGYU, Head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital "It's a review and reminder to reread the Hippocratic Oath. We remind each other to remember our original aspiration and mission, which is our common duty."

UN hosts mediation process to end spiraling violence in South Sudan

Thousands of families have been devastated by the vicious cycle of fighting that has plagued the Jonglei region of South Sudan for the past six months. More than 600 people have been killed during the violence between Dinka, Nuer and Murle groups. Women and children have been abducted, villages and homes torched, and thousands of cattle stolen. At least 160,000 people are estimated to be displaced because of a combination of conflict and flooding. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ALAIN NOUDEHOU, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan: "We have what we call a quadruple threat that we are facing - in the name of conflict, hunger, flooding and to which we can also add now COVID. How are we able to work in an environment like that where the quadruple threat is increasing the level of vulnerability, making people so much poorer, and almost impossible for them to have the chance to get out of poverty and move towards a life where they can actually enjoy the fruits of the peace that is happening in the country? That is not possible if we don't deal with the underlying factors that we are facing." In an effort to end the conflict, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan brought together national and state level political leaders as well as community elders, civil society and other key stakeholders for peace talks at a special forum in Juba. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): DAVID SHEARER, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan: "Every single community is right whether it be Dinka, Nuer, Murle - all of you are right. All of you have been attacked. All of you have been aggrieved. All of you have had people taken. Everybody has had their cattle stolen and people killed. All three communities. But that means that all three communities are also in some ways guilty of doing that to the others as well. As I say, it is a race to the bottom, and we don't want to see the people of Jonglei getting poorer and poorer and needing more and more outside humanitarian help." The Jonglei Governor says the peace process can only succeed with the support of donors, humanitarians, and the United Nations. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): DENAY CHAGOR, Jonglei State Governor: "We feel that if we get the logistical support, the financial support, political support, if we get all this support, we should be able to solve this problem. But if we don't, the catastrophe of it will be so great that it would mean that the entire country of South Sudan would go back into a war. We don't want that to happen." UNMISS is committed to supporting the mediation effort through political and logistical assistance for peace talks, providing peacekeepers to monitor buffer zones between the groups, increasing the capacity of local police and developing infrastructure, such as roads, schools, and water points. But there must first be a willingness among all parties to stop the fighting. SOUNDBITE 4 (English): DAVID SHEARER, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan: "It's important that these people come together and have this agreement because we know that, in the fighting over the past few months, it wasn't just happening on the ground in isolation to what was happening here. There were others who were supplying weapons and things that were fueling the conflict so we need now to have an agreement here and that agreement can be taken out around Jonglei and we can talk about peace and how we move forward." Those leading the mediation process say the forum is an important first step on the path towards peace. SOUNDBITE 5 (English): DENAY CHAGOR, Jonglei State Governor: "From what I'm seeing here - so far so good. People have learned a lot. People have seen a lot. People have suffered a lot. So, I'm seeing something happening. I'm seeing enthusiasm from so many people who want to come here and change something. So, we are very happy about that. We cannot anticipate what tomorrow will bring. But we can put in an effort to what we can do tomorrow." The participants hope to develop an action plan at the conclusion of the conference that will ultimately ensure the people of Jonglei are protected and given the chance to recover and build a more peaceful and prosperous future.

China asks OPCW to build consensus on Syria's chemical weapons issue

A Chinese envoy on Thursday asked the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to build consensus on the issue of chemical weapons use in Syria. Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on the situation in Syria. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): GENG SHUANG, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "The chemical weapons issue is of great concern for all. China objects to hasty conclusions and accusations on alleged use of chemical weapons in the absence of solid evidence. Rushing to conclusions is not conducive to closing the Syrian chemical weapons dossier and even damages the mutual trust among the Syrian parties, and thus harms the political process." The OPCW should endeavor to strengthen mutual trust among states parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and keep the tradition of making decisions based on consensus. Questions and different opinions should be encouraged instead of neglected. All parties should engage in dialogue and consultation to reach agreement, he told a Security Council meeting. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): GENG SHUANG, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "Pushing for a vote while there is still significant divergence only causes confrontation and undermines cooperation. It is harmful to the OPCW's authority, operation and long-term interests. Unfortunately, such practice has happened several times in the OPCW. Many countries, including China, are seriously concerned." With regard to the OPCW's decision to establish the Investigation and Identification Team for the purpose of identifying the perpetrators of chemical weapons use in Syria, and the decision of the 94th OPCW Executive Council meeting, which condemned Syria for chemical weapons use, China's position is firm and clear, said Geng. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): GENG SHUANG, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "I would like to emphasize that the OPCW should strictly comply with the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention in the conduct of its work, instead of being used as a geopolitical tool by certain state parties. The international community should join hands to maintain the professionalism, objectiveness and impartiality of the OPCW and reject any attempts of politicization. As a CWC state party, China firmly opposes the use of chemical weapons for any purpose by any country, organization, or individual, under any circumstances." China gladly takes note that the Syrian government and the OPCW have maintained communication and cooperation through letters and video conferences. It calls on the two sides to continue such engagement and resolve pending issues through cooperation, said Geng. The Syrian Permanent Mission to the United Nations has submitted a number of letters to the president of the Security Council, offering information and expressing concern. China calls on the OPCW and the international community to give attention and response to these letters, he said. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from UN Headquarters. (XHTV)

Over 135,000 displaced due to floods in South Sudan

Across South Sudan's Jonglei State, heavy downpours have caused severe flash floods, particularly in South Bor and Twic East. The rains have swept away homes and belongings, and reportedly displaced some 135,000 people. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): DAVID GARANG GOCH, Loal civil society activist "People are very frustrated, (not knowing) where they are going to sleep today. It has gone to the extent that people cannot even make small dikes to (divert) water flow. It is very serious and children, women and old people are critically affected by these floods." Children, men and women alike are putting in every effort to prevent their homes or businesses from collapsing. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): DENAY CHAGOR, Governor of Jonglei state "Across the state there are so many problems; there are floods going on, which is a national disaster. It is something that (may not) be a (big) threat (as compared to conflict), but it is something that needs greater attention." Engineering troops from South Korea serving with United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) have also been engaged in an ongoing battle against flooding, caused by broken dikes and aggravated by heavy downpours. Swift action by peacekeepers and the local communities saved the main market and Jonglei's only hospital from being submerged. In a joint effort, a temporary drainage system was created to lead water from the overflowing White Nile River away from critical roads and parts of town. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): MABIOR ATEM, Secretary-General, Jonglei "We've got the UNMISS team and other partners to ensure that the water do not interfere with the lives of people in Bor town." The dangerously high-water levels compelled UNMISS engineering troops to come to the rescue, especially in the Marol Market area, which is a lifeline for traders and community members alike. UN peacekeepers were joined by youth of the local Bor community. SOUNDBITE 4 (English): DEBORAH SCHEIN, Head of field office, UNMISS "We're very pleased that this is a collective effort. If you look there, the local population putting sandbags all the way around their shops. They've closed their shops, in front of their shops, they've put sandbags, everybody is putting sandbags to repair the dike and they are doing it manually, by hand. All the children, all the women, all the men, everybody is working together." Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Jonglei, South Sudan. (XHTV)

使われていない井戸に落ちた2匹の野良犬を助ける＝タイ

Two stray dogs had to be rescued after falling into 100ft deep abandoned well. Residents living nearby called the emergency services after hearing the pooches howling throughout the night in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. They strays were believed to have slipped into the muddy pit while roaming the area looking for food. Rescuers arrived with abseiling gear to help the frightened dogs out of the hole. They rappelled into the pit and tied ropes around the bodies of the mutts before pulling them to safety. Rescue volunteer Ton Worarat said: "This is one of the most difficult animal rescues we have done this year. Everyone was glad that we saved them." The rescue mission took more than two hours as they had to plan how to descend into the abyss with an oxygen tank then carry the dogs out of the dark and wet hole. The scared and weary mutts scampered away after they were brought to the surface. The rescuers, with the help of the concerned locals, prepared some food for the dogs in case they come out of hiding.

Vlog: How 5G technology application will change our life

STANDUP 1 (English): ZHANG YICHI, Xinhua correspondent "Here we are at the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing. At this year's fair, products and services related to 5G technology have attracted significant attention from visitors. What is amazing is that the exhibition is not displaying the construction of 5G infrastructure, but the real application of 5G technology." From service robots to 5G applications displayed in cloud booths, innovations shine at the 2020 China International Fair for Trade in Services. Themed "Global Services, Shared Prosperity," the fair is the first major international economic and trade event held both online and offline by China since the COVID-19 outbreak. 5G technology is definitely a highlight. Here in the exhibition hall, we found that 5G could be used in many ways beyond our imagination. Here's a 5G AR concert. So how it works out? SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): YIN SIJIE, Hardware engineer for 5G AR concert "AR band mainly takes advantage of 5G's large bandwidth and low latency to live broadcast shows in different places and then combines them together as if they are played in the same scene. The technology could be used in variety shows and concerts as soon as next year." SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): YIN SIJIE, Hardware engineer for 5G AR concert "5G is a very revolutionary new technology which could be used to realize the Internet of Things. That is to say, the Internet of Things allows a lot of devices to connect together, which is a mission impossible under the 4G network. It could connect more smart devices and make them work faster and more efficient." Apart from the culture and entertainment sectors, 5G technology could be adopted in many other parts of our life. That means we will not only enjoy a faster network, many industries and technologies will also be reshaped. Our lifestyle will be changed fundamentally. Here, 5G technology is assisting human drivers in daily traffic through the interconnection of every vehicle on the road. SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): HU JINLING, Chief expert, Gohigh data networks technology CO., LTD. "For example, when our sight be blocked while driving or when we feel too relaxed while driving, there might be some danger. Under such circumstances, the synergy technology of vehicle networking will play an important role as you've seen. So by installing the communication device in your car, your car could send safety alerts to other cars." In another demonstration, Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE has deployed an LED screen and a fan-shaped mechanical array, which is a 5G robot orchestra, in front of the conductor. Featuring AI recognition technology, the robots can automatically identify the gestures of the conductor. The 5G AI conductor array can detect human intentions so to enable massive mechanical arrays to perform under the command of the conductor. By deploying AI smart identification system and music playback system on the MEC edge cloud server, the device has provided the audience with a unique experience of conducting a 5G robot orchestra. SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): MA HENG, Operation director, 5G industry product department, ZTE "This system adopts 5G, MEC edge cloud server, AI and other technologies. So it's a comprehensive combination. So for ordinary music lovers, they could learn more about how a musician plays the music. Along with its commercialization, the system could be used in the entertainment and education sectors." STANDUP 2 (English): ZHANG YICHI, Xinhua correspondent "After experiencing all these 5G applications, we have learned that 5G is not just a little faster, a little more reliable, or a little newer. It's actually a massive breakthrough that's going to change many people's lives. And we have learned that 5G is not just on the horizon. It will be around many people's lives in the near future."

Vlog: Anti-epidemic robots at int'l services trade fair in Beijing

STANDUP 1 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "At the ongoing 2020 China International Fair for Trade in Services, robots have drawn much attention. Among them, some can be called 'heroes,' as they had worked at the frontline of China's battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Behind me are some of these 'heroes.' Let's meet them together." STANDUP 2 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "This robot is named Yodee. These robots were once used in hospitals in Wuhan to help fight COVID-19." Earlier this year, the robots were employed in hospitals and concentrated quarantine sites in Wuhan, (once) an epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, to deliver medicines and other medical supplies, reducing the risk of cross-infection. SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): WANG LEI, Product manager, Shenzhen Excelland Technology Co., Ltd. "Robot Yodee is equipped with laser radar automatic navigation. It can automatically avoid obstacles and pedestrians on the road, and accurately deliver items to designated sites. When the epidemic broke out, our company donated several Yodee robots to makeshift hospitals in Wuhan, to help distribute medicines. The makeshift hospitals are often quite expansive, and a large amount of medicines need to be delivered each day. So the robot Yodee could deliver medicines to designated beds and inpatient wards." STANDUP 4 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "This is Candle Robot. It is capable of many missions. The robots were used in Wuhan's anti-epidemic hospitals for distribution and disinfection." During Wuhan's battle against the COVID-19, the company donated several robots, including Candle Distribution Robot and Candle Disinfection Robot, to main anti-epidemic facilities. SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): ZHANG WENYI, Design director, Candela (Shenzhen) Technology Innovation Co., Ltd. "Our product boasts an automatic box-switching technology. It can load different boxes to achieve different functions. It can drive and avoid obstacles automatically. Look, a kid is standing in front of the robot, while the robot is trying to avoid the kid. During the epidemic, our company donated several robots to Leishenshan Hospital, Huoshenshan Hospital and Jinyintan Hospital. They were mainly used to assist medical staff to distribute medicines, and to disinfect hospitals." STANDUP 6 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "This is a venipuncture robot. It can draw blood automatically, reducing exposure risk of both patients and nurses. It was used in a hospital in Beijing during its fight against the COVID-19." The robotic venipuncture uses a combination of near-infrared and ultrasound imaging to find blood vessels, then creates a 3D image of the vessels before sticking the patient with a needle. It not only makes blood draws much quicker and easier, but also much safer. SOUNDBITE 7 (Chinese): KANG JIANRONG, R&D director, Beijing MagicNurse Surgical Robot Technology Co., Ltd. "This is an automatic blood-collecting robot, which can carry out blood-collecting process automatically. Put your arm in, and it will draw your blood. It's equipped with near-infrared technology, which enables it to show a clear image of the blood vessels. Then, it will automatically choose the most proper blood vessel. We can say that it has a 'brain.' I hope this robot could be put into use widely, just like ATMs. It will greatly help nurses avoid needlestick injury." STANDUP 8 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "This is a tracked disinfection robot. The robots were used in communities in Wuhan during the city's lockdown." The tracked intelligent disinfection robot adapts to a variety of complex road conditions. It has a remote control distance of 500 meters. The robots were used in Wuhan's residential communities for disinfection work. SOUNDBITE 9 (Chinese): ADA JIANG, Sales manager, Shandong Guoxing Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. "The robot adopts a crawler-type structure, which enables it to work in environments with complex terrain. It can enter some dangerous places, to prevent cross-infection among personnel. Here is a double-spray cylinder, with a spray range of about three to five meters. There robots were used in Wuhan's Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, as well as parks and residential communities for disinfection work." STANDUP 10 (English): LUO HUI, Xinhua correspondent "The robots displayed here have played important roles in China's battle against the COVID-19. There are disinfection robots, distribution robots, and even this one, a throat swab sampling robot. Personally, I want to say 'thank you' to all these robots. Because I come from Hubei Province. I had stayed at home for more than two months when the province was hit hard by the virus. Anyone who has contributed to the fight against the pandemic deserves our respect, including these robots."

China passes "milestone" in COVID-19 control: WHO official

A senior World Health Organization (WHO) official on Monday said China is passing a "milestone" since it reported no local COVID-19 infections. However, Dr. Bruce Aylward, senior advisor to the WHO director-general and lead of the COVID-19 international experts' mission in China, added that 20 days without local transmission doesn't mean it doesn't have the virus. China's success today, he said, can be attributed to three aspects. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): BRUCE AYLWARD, Senior advisor to WHO director-general "These was a public health infrastructure right through all levels of the country that could talk to it, the different pieces they could move information, move learnings and some things were particularly striking, they could update their national guidance in a country of over a billion people every week and get that right out through their system." SOUNDBITE 2 (English): BRUCE AYLWARD, Senior advisor to WHO director-general "Second thing overall was just the sense of individual responsibility that we saw in the Chinese people. Chinese individuals and their sense of responsibility for keeping the world safe, keeping their community safe, for doing the right thing was probably the most striking thing we saw, that sense of collective responsibility." SOUNDBITE 3 (English): BRUCE AYLWARD, Senior advisor to WHO director-general "We were just struck by the incredible effort to build additional capacity and preparedness to be able to deal with what they realize would be an ongoing threat for some time." WHO congratulated the front-line health workers and the people in China for having reached a successful outcome in fighting COVID-19. SOUNDBITE 4 (English): MICHAEL RYAN, Executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program "Our deepest congratulations go to the front-line health workers in China and the population who worked together tirelessly to bring the disease to this very low level."

Mexican airport site emerges as major graveyard of Ice Age mammoths

Date:SEPTEMBER 09, 2020 Amid busy construction crews racing to build an airport in Mexico, scientists are unearthing more and more mammoth skeletons in what has quickly become one of the world's biggest concentrations of the now-extinct relative of modern elephants. More than 100 mammoth skeletons have been identified, spread across nearly 200 excavation sites, along with a mix of other Ice Age mammals, in the area destined to become the Mexican capital's new commercial airport. Lead archaeologist Ruben Manzanilla explained that around 24,000 years ago mammoth herds reached this spot where sprawling grasslands and lakes would have enticed them to reside. He speculates that most of the mammoths died when trapped in the muddy banks of the lake. He adds that there is some evidence that around 10,000 years ago early humans may have also hunted the 20-tonne beasts with flint arrows and spears, or dug rudimentary shallow water pits to snare them. But the sheer amount of bones, including long, curling tusks - technically the animal's front two teeth - have come as a shock. Once the excavations are finished, Manzanilla said the site, located about 30 miles (50 km) north of downtown Mexico City, could rival others in the United States and Siberia as the planet's biggest deposit of mammoth skeletons. He noted that a museum-style mammoth exhibit is being planned for the airport's main terminal. The series of inter-connected lakes that once covered the Valley of Mexico were deliberately drained by Spanish colonial masters beginning in the 1600s in an effort to tame annual flooding. Today, the mostly dry landscape is dominated by the working-class neighbourhoods and highways that spill out from Mexico City.

レスボスの難民キャンプで火災、避難する人たち＝ギリシャ

Fires continued to break out Wednesday night, September 9, at the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, displacing thousands of migrants. Footage shows smoke rising from tents as thousands sit on sidewalks outside the camp.According to reports, fires broke out in areas of the camp that were not previously burned in a blaze early Wednesday morning.Local media said the original fire was started by camp residents angered by lockdown measures and isolation orders imposed after 35 people tested positive for COVID-19. The cases were found during broad testing and contact tracing stemming from a Somali man who had been granted asylum and left the island in July but later returned.The BBC reported that the fires “began with the asylum seekers,” and said some protesting migrants hindered firefighters who tried to tackle the flames.There were no reports of casualties among the overcrowded camp’s more than 12,000 residents.

Senior WHO officials congratulate China for COVID-19 control, yet no room for complacency

Senior World Health Organization (WHO) officials on Monday congratulated the front-line health workers and the people in China for having reached a successful outcome in fighting COVID-19. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): MICHAEL RYAN, Executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program "Our deepest congratulations go to the front-line health workers in China and the population who worked together tirelessly to bring the disease to this very low level." Michael Ryan made the remarks while responding to questions about the fact that China has had no local COVID-19 infections for more than two weeks, as all new cases have been imported from abroad but quarantined right after detection. Ryan attributed to China's success to a "huge partnership between communities, scientific institutions, public health institutions in the government" and "a lot of cooperation, very sustained commitment to getting the job done." SOUNDBITE 2 (English): MICHAEL RYAN, Executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program "A huge partnership between communities, scientific institutions, public health institutions in the government and a lot of cooperation, very sustained commitment to getting the job done. So we congratulate the front-line workers and the communities in China for having reached such a successful outcome. But as we've learned in other countries as all of us have learned, it's not over anywhere until it's over everywhere." "As normal life returns in many countries and especially in China, there's always the risk that the disease can flare up again," he said. Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead for the WHO's Health Emergencies Program and also a member of the international team that visited China in February, said she was impressed then by the public health infrastructure, the systems in place and the strong workforce in China to deal with infectious diseases and COVID-19, which is being activated in many other countries. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): MARIA VAN KERKHOVE, Technical lead for the WHO's Health Emergencies Program "I think as Dr. Tedros has said, the foundation of what we have and what I was so impressed with when Bruce and I were in the international team in China in February, was looking at the foundations of this public health infrastructure, the systems in place that are set up to deal with infectious diseases, a system in place for surveillance, a workforce that was ready and trained to do active case finding and we're seeing this in many, many countries now, it's not just China now." SOUNDBITE 4 (English): MARIA VAN KERKHOVE, Technical lead for the WHO's Health Emergencies Program "There's an entire system that's in place that was activated in China and is being activated in many many countries now. and I do think again, to say, let's celebrate the successes where we can, not become complacent because it's not over, but be at the ready, and I think that is a positive thing. So we look forward to more celebrations of success in the sharing of knowledge across the world." Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior advisor to the WHO director-general and lead of the COVID-19 international experts' mission in China, said China is passing a "milestone" since it reported no local COVID-19 infections, though 20 days without local transmission doesn't mean it doesn't have the virus. "But it provides an opportunity to reflect a little bit on what we saw when we were in China," Aylward said. China's success today, he said, can be attributed to three aspects -- namely investment at the state level in the public health infrastructure, the sense of individual responsibility among the Chinese people, and the incredible effort to build additional capacity and preparedness even when infection was heading down. "I think all of those things are part of the reason that we're seeing today the very low levels of transmission that hopefully can be maintained," he added.

Chinese ambassador to EU calls for cooperative, open-minded attitude in EU-China economic ties

Zhang Ming, head of the Chinese Mission to the European Union (EU), on Monday called for cooperative, open-minded and positive attitude to seek solutions to problems between the two sides. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ZHANG MING, Head of the Chinese Mission to the European Union "I hope that the two sides could work together in a mutually accommodating spirit, with a view to reaching a comprehensive, balanced and high-level agreement this year, which can stand the test of times and satisfy the people in both China and the EU." "Some are saying that Europe is already quite open, and the ball is in China's court to rebalance the economic and trade relations. Yet, to foster an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory regulatory environment, both sides need to move in the same direction, and neither should stop or even backslide," said Zhang. The ambassador made the remarks when addressing a meeting of the foreign affairs committee of the European Parliament, and thereafter also commented on questions about a number of issues raised during the two-hour meeting. Zhang told the lawmakers that the investment agreement negotiation between China and the EU has visibly accelerated. "The two sides have made significant progress on the level-playing field issues and are stepping up efforts to find a potential landing zone on market access and sustainable development." He voiced hope that both sides could work together in a mutually accommodating spirit, with a view to reaching a comprehensive, balanced and high-level agreement this year, "which can stand the test of times and satisfy the people in both China and the EU." Highlighting that China's ranking in the World Bank report on ease of doing business has risen from 78th to 31st in past three years, even higher than some EU member states, Zhang argued that more complaints from Chinese companies in the EU are being heard that the business environment here is becoming less friendly and that the policy uncertainties are on the rise. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ZHANG MING, Head of the Chinese Mission to the European Union "Since I arrived in Brussels three years ago, China's ranking in the World Bank report on ease of doing business has risen from 78th to 31st, even higher than some EU member states. Sectors that the EU cares most about, like finance, infrastructure, transport and automobile, are further opened." "I hope you can also read the recommendation report published by the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU this month, take the concerns of Chinese businesses seriously, and get them properly addressed," he said. Brussels-based China Chamber of Commerce to the EU, which represents about 1,000 Chinese companies, published its annual recommendation report on Sept. 10 which concludes that Chinese companies in the EU currently have a less favorable view on the ease of doing business in the bloc, but are willing to increase investment if the environment gets better.

*EXCLUSIVE* Chanel West Coast Berates Cops Who Shut Down Birthday Party in Los Angeles, CA

*EXCLUSIVE* - *USA AND CANADA CLIENTS MUST CALL FOR RIGHTS* Chanel West Coast berated cops who dared to interrupt her birthday party because it was packed to the gills in the middle of the pandemic. We're told somewhere between 100 and 200 people showed up to celebrate the rapper's 32nd birthday, and by 10 PM the neighbors had had it. Eleven of them called the cops. It's unclear if the neighbors were objecting to the noise or the fact Mayor Eric Garcetti has made it his mission to shut down party houses that host big crowds because of the virus. CWC wasn't having it, and she verbally attacked the cops, calling them losers. She told them her ex-BF was murdered years ago and it's still an unsolved case, and she just couldn't understand why they weren't solving that case instead of hammering her over her party. She says there was a bigger party up the road and if they were really concerned about the coronavirus spread they should go there. Looks like cops shut the party down. Chanel was cited for the party ... and we can't wait to hear Mayor Garcetti's reaction. *MANDATORY CREDIT: TMZ/BACKGRID*

Egypt discovers 2,500-year-old intact coffins

Egypt announced on Sunday the discovery of a collection of more than 13 intact sealed coffins dating back to 2,500 years ago. The coffins were found at an archeological site in Saqqara necropolis in Giza, said the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in a statement. The coffins, along with three sealed niches, were unearthed inside an 11-meter-deep shaft, according to the statement. Egyptian Tourism and Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anany and Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), visited the site on Sunday and inspected the excavation work in the shaft. "The discovery marks the largest number of coffins found in one burial place since the discovery of the Asasif Cachette," the minister said, referring to the discovery of 30 ancient coffins in October 2019 at Asasif cemetery in Upper Egypt's Luxor Province. "The discovery in Saqqara includes a wonderful collection of colored wooden coffins whose colors and inscriptions are still in a good condition despite the passage of 2,500 years," Waziri, who leads the Egyptian archeological mission in Saqqara, told Xinhua. Waziri said the exact number of the unearthed coffins as well as the identity and titles of their owners have not yet been determined, but they will be found out in the coming few days as the excavation work still continues. "The mission continues excavation work on the site and it is expected to result in many other new discoveries of shafts, colored wooden coffins and statues," the SCA chief added. Initial studies revealed that the coffins are completely sealed and have not been opened since they were buried inside the shaft, according to the ministry.
