GLOBALink | Vlog: A volunteer who brings light to those in need

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): TUO JILONG, Deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team "When I was a child, I didn't understand such words as volunteer and public welfare, but I could feel the warmth in them. Now I've grown up, I've become a volunteer. I'll pass on the warmth to those in need. Hello, I'm Tuo Jilong, deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team. For many people, weekends are an occasion to take a break from work or school. For me, these are days for visiting 'family.' Every weekend, I organize and participate in various volunteer activities with my volunteer friends. Every weekend, I go to the suburbs with my volunteer partners to visit some elderly women who aren't native to Yinchuan. We help them do some farm work, such as digging the soil, planting vegetables, and chopping firewood. Today, we've come to Ms. Liu's home. She is from Mianyang city in Sichuan Province. She's in her home today. Please, come with me. Granny Liu's children aren't around and her husband has passed away. She's quite lonely. We often visit her at her home and buy her some fruits and vegetables that she loves. She's 78 years old now and no longer has a good memory. But she remembers every one of us. It touches us deeply." SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): MS. LIU "These students have brought me groceries and other things. It's always them. They visit me every week. Thank you, thank you all." SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): TUO JILONG, Deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team "Caring for the elderly is not simply a long-term commitment for us. After we became engaged in the volunteer job, we feel there's no way we could ever stop doing it. Our elders become satisfied, and I enjoy the satisfaction brought to me by their satisfaction. But sometimes, our kindness might be questioned. When I was in college and was still new to the volunteer service, I went to help some migrant workers' children with their studies. However, I was treated as a swindler when I was doing household surveys. I felt wronged, but I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. Every weekend, we organize volunteers to come to villages in the suburbs to help the children with their studies. Most of the families here are migrant workers. They've been working away from home for a long time and don't have much time to spend with their children. We hope we can bring more knowledge to the children through our efforts." SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): MA JIAFAN, Student "They've been here for three years, and have helped me a lot with my school work. They've also provided me with a lot of other things. I'd like to say "thank you" to my big brothers and sisters." SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): TUO JILONG, Deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team "I'm always told by the parents about any changes in their children; for instance, some children have become more outgoing, they can now help with housework, their learning habits and grades are much better, among other things. I think everything is worthwhile. Gradually, our volunteer services are covering more and more people and our team has also expanded from just over a dozen people at the beginning to about 100 people. So I set up the Glimmering Light Volunteer Team at the school, which is to light the way ahead for those in need with glimmers of light, and bring warmth to their hearts. This is something that has prompted me to go this far. SOUNDBITE 6 (Chinese): ZHANG XIAOYAN, Volunteer "I think it's very meaningful to teach children knowledge and improve my social skills by working with my partners. I've learned a lot in these activities and made a lot of friends. I'm very happy to do this." Amid China's fight against the pandemic, volunteers have been playing an important role. Tuo was among the individuals awarded by the country last year for what he did in the anti-pandemic battle. SOUNDBITE 7 (Chinese): TUO JILONG, Deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team "After the pandemic hit last year, I returned to my post immediately. In support of the Youth League of Yinchuan city, I organized more than 2,000 young volunteers to participate in the anti-pandemic fight. I also organized more than 200 "youth brigades" who were engaged in such work as psychological counseling, delivery of free meals, and free transportation. We provided services in more than 300 communities, including checking temperatures, visiting households, sterilization and disinfection, contributing our part to the country's battle against COVID-19. My major is civil engineering and I could have earned a lot working for a company. But I can't earn satisfaction by doing that. It was after careful consideration that I decided to take part in the volunteer team serving China's western region. Some people ask me why I choose to be a volunteer; I say because of love. Some ask me how I can persist in doing this, and I answer "Because I'm not alone." Since Tuo's volunteer team was founded eight years ago, it's attracted 39,000 student volunteers in 16 colleges in Ningxia. SOUNDBITE 8 (Chinese): TUO JILONG, Deputy head of the Ningxia Glimmering Light Volunteer Team "Five years on, many friends of mine still don't understand why I work so hard. I don't have weekends and can't stay at home during holidays. But for me, the efforts I've made pale into insignificance compared to what I've gained. For me, apart from being a youth volunteer, I'm also a member of the Communist Party of China. There are occasions that I must come to the forefront. I also hope I can integrate my career into the cause of the Party and our country and contribute more to the development of my city and my country."

GLOBALink | Uncertainties ahead in transatlantic ties despite Biden's symbolic gesture

STANDUP 1 (English): ALEX WRIGHT, Xinhua correspondent "The European Union (EU) and the United States held their first summit in seven years on Tuesday as U.S. President Joe Biden was on his first overseas trip since taking office to revamp the transatlantic ties. During the summit in Brussels, Biden met European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and the leaders agreed to cooperate more on trade, investment, and preparing for future global health challenges." Von der Leyen told a news conference following the summit that bilateral trade and investment between the two sides were "unrivaled," and the trade was worth almost one trillion euros in 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The EU and the U.S. agreed on a truce in their long-standing conflict over aircraft subsidies. The dispute over subsidies for U.S. planemaker Boeing and its European rival Airbus has resulted in parallel cases filed at the World Trade Organization (WTO) since 2004. Both sides had agreed in March to a four-month suspension of tariffs on 11.5 billion U.S. dollars of goods from EU wine to U.S. tobacco and spirits, which they had imposed during the dispute. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JULIAN MUELLER-KALER, Researcher of German Council on Foreign Relations "Biden's primary goal is to restore some of those relations to assure America's traditional partners that you know the country is not leaving, hanging nor abandoning its role in international politics. So there's quite a bit of symbolism attached to the trip that Biden is making. He's not traveling to Asia he's not traveling to the Middle East. He's traveling to Europe to restore some of that trust that was lost during the Trump administration." During the summit, both sides agreed to remove the tariffs for five years until they continue discussions on an overarching deal on the subsidies. They also agreed to establish an EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council with a view to expand bilateral trade and investments and discuss how to avoid new unjustified technical barriers and how to cooperate in areas with high potential from both economies. According to a joint statement issued after the summit, the leaders set a Joint Transatlantic Agenda for the post-pandemic era and commit to regular dialogue to take stock of progress. On COVID-19 vaccines, they agreed to set up a joint task force to move faster and quicker to help vaccinate the world. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): Prof. RAJNEESH NARULA, University of Reading, UK I think the Europeans are concerned that he talks the talk, and he may not walk the walk. I don't think that most of the Europeans are on the same page, with the exception of the United Kingdom. So I think there is an understanding that you don't cannot depend upon the Transatlantic Alliance as a fixed point, it used to be a fixed point in European politics, that whatever happens, America was on our side. But that now, Trump has shaken that it isn't necessarily always going to be the case. So one, we should look after ourselves and have backup plans in case this happens again. SOUNDBITE 4 (English): STEPHEN NDEGWA, Lecturer, United States Int'l Univ.-Africa, Kenya The U.S. is not known for looking out for other countries, unless there is some benefit from that relationship. I think most countries will want to distance themselves and maintain just a skeleton relationship between themselves and NATO and the US. So every country now will want to deal with the U.S. on a bilateral basis, to make the U.S. more accountable to its actions with them and also globally. SOUNDBITE 5 (English): MARTIN JACQUES, Senior fellow at Cambridge University "You know a divide essentially between Europe and the United States, and those divisions will grow stronger. I think depending on exactly what happens and what the Americans do." STANDUP 6 (English): ALEX WRIGHT, Xinhua correspondent "Biden arrived in Brussels from Cornwall, Britain, where he attended the Group of Seven summit. He joined the leaders of other NATO members for a summit in Brussels on Monday. Following the EU-U.S. summit, Biden left for Geneva, where he would meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin."

California fully reopens after over a year of COVID-19 restrictions

California, the most populous state in the United States, fully reopened its economy amid dropping cases and vaccine eligibility expansion on Tuesday after more than a year of COVID-19 restrictions. SOUNDBITE (English): GAVIN NEWSOM, California Governor "California is open again. California has turned a page. So we celebrate it." According to the new health order released by the California Department of Public Health, almost all industry and business sectors may return to usual operations with no capacity limits or physical distancing requirements. Masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals in most public settings. Public health officers noted in the revised health order that masks are still required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, on public transit, including airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis and ride-shares, and in transportation hubs, such as the airport, bus terminal, marina, train station, seaport and subway station. Fully vaccinated people also need to wear masks in indoor settings of K-12 schools and child-care and other youth settings, long-term care facilities, state and local correctional facilities and detention centers, homeless shelters, emergency shelters and cooling centers. Additionally, masks are required for unvaccinated individuals in indoor public settings and businesses, including retail, restaurants, theaters, family entertainment centers, meetings, state and local government offices serving the public. California was the first state in the United States to issue a statewide stay-at-home order over a rapid spread of COVID-19 in March last year. It was once the epicenter of the disease in the country with the highest number of cases and deaths.

Battered by COVID-19, Thais fight to stay afloat

Thailand's economy has taken a knock as COVID-19 cut off travel to the tourism-reliant country and shuttered commerce, leaving people there trying hard to eke out a living to survive the pandemic-triggered downturn. In the capital Bangkok, Wichayuth Ketupanya, a 55-year-old Thai airlines captain, remembered the surreal feeling last March when nearly all passenger travel was shut down. He was grounded then, earning only one tenth of what he used to earn. SOUNDBITE 1 (Thai): WICHAYUTH KETUPANYA, Thai Lion Air captain "I've been flying for 29 years, about 31,000 hours. Since the company was grounded, I has started a side business of making and selling sausages. All my family members worked in the aviation industry. Now there're no flights, my monthly salary is only about 50,000 baht. The salary can probably cover the daily expenses. But it's not enough for the whole family. We need to endure for a while, and I believe it will get better in the near future." All Wichayuth's family members worked in the aviation industry, one of the hardest-hit industry during the pandemic. COVID-19 threw the previously prosperous household into financial distress. Wichayuth was lucky to fly again, but with sharply reduced flight schedules, and he had to support his family by selling grilled sausage at a food stall and also online. His son Sisat was one of the pilots being laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): SISAT, Thai Lion Air pilot "I used to work for Thai Lion Air as a first officer. And unfortunately, I got layoff due to breakdown of COVID-19. I was one of the pilot cabin crew, and many staff got layoff due to COVID-19. And the policy is to lay off so that will reduce company income (cost) and they will recruit us back after the breakdown is over." Foot traffic remained light amid social-distancing rules and continued restrictions, making it harder for Wichayuth's sausage business to profit. He had to find additional income by selling batik clothes that he and his wife made at home. COVID-19 plunged Thailand into the worst economic recession in more than two decades last year, with its key growth drivers, tourism and trade, remaining hobbled. In a recent report, the Bank of Thailand, the country's central bank, warned that the economy may not return to pre-pandemic growth levels until early 2023 due to the third wave of outbreak.

U.S. COVID-19 deaths top 600,000 -- Johns Hopkins University

The United States reached the grim milestone of 600,000 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University. With the national case count topping 33.4 million, the death toll across the United States rose to 600,012 as of 12:22 p.m. local time (1622 GMT), according to the CSSE data. California topped the national death toll list, standing at 63,191. New York reported the country's second largest deaths of 53,558, followed by Texas with 51,940 deaths and Florida with 37,265 deaths, the CSSE tally showed. States with more than 20,000 fatalities also include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, Michigan and Ohio. The United States remains the nation worst hit by the pandemic, with the world's highest caseload and death toll, accounting for nearly 20 percent of the global cases and over 15 percent of the global deaths. Last year, U.S. COVID-19 deaths hit 100,000 on May 27, topped 200,000 on Sept. 22, and reached 300,000 on Dec. 14. The number surged to 400,000 on Jan. 19, 2021 and passed more than half a million on Feb. 22, 2021. It took nearly four months for the national death toll to climb from 100,000 to 200,000, less than three months to jump from 200,000 to 300,000 and only more than one month to soar from 300,000 to 400,000 and from 400,000 to half a million, respectively. U.S. COVID-19 deaths increased at a slower pace from 500,000 to 600,000 in nearly four months, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

S. Korean military conducts defense drill near disputed islets with Japan

South Korea's military has conducted a defense drill near the islets disputed with Japan, Yonhap news agency reported Tuesday citing unnamed government and military sources. The maritime exercise, called the East Sea Territory Protection Exercise, has been staged Tuesday near the Dokdo islets, called Takeshima in Japan. The exercise, which has been held usually twice a year since 1986, would reportedly mobilize naval and coast guard vessels, fighter jets and maritime patrol aircraft. No landing drill will be carried out given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Japan has protested against the exercise as it laid territorial claims to the rocky outcroppings lying halfway between South Korea and Japan. South Korea regained its sovereignty over the islets after liberation from the 1910-1945 Japanese colonization of the Korean Peninsula. The islets were incorporated into Japan during the colonization. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Seoul. (XHTV) ( Original Title: S.

Kim Jong Un, the top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), presided over a party plenary meeting Tuesday to review the execution of major state policies for the first half of this year under current international situation, the official Korean Central News Agency reported Wednesday. Kim, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and president of the State Affairs of DPRK, said at the third Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of WPK that he highly appreciated the positive achievements by the party and the state work over the past six months. He said that the country's economy has shown improvement as a whole by implementing its first half-year plan, as its total industrial output and the amount of goods increased largely from a year ago. The food situation is getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfill its grain production plan due to the damage by typhoon last year, he said, urging the plenary meeting to take a positive measure for settling the food shortage problem. The major agenda items of the plenary meeting included the reviewing of the execution of major state policies for the first half of this year, the issue of farming, the anti-pandemic situation, the current international situation and the party's corresponding direction, said the report. The DPRK said that it has not detected a single case of COVID-19 nationwide as it closed its borders in January last year. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Pyongyang.

Fireworks Set Off Against Manhattan Skyline as New York Marks Vaccination Milestone

Fireworks were set off across the state of New York on Tuesday night, June 15, as New Yorkers celebrated a vaccination milestone and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. New York Gov Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday that it would be "optional" for retail, food services, and other smaller indoor venues to follow guidelines on capacity restrictions, social distancing, and other restrictions as 70 percent of adult New Yorkers had received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccination. The governor said restrictions were still in place for large-scale indoor venues and public transport and that unvaccinated adults would have to continue to wear a mask. Cuomo said in a tweet the celebration was "for all the essential workers who showed up and helped get us to this day." This footage was filmed by Bee Costa.

トルコの海に「海の鼻水」が大量発生

Turkey's Marmara Sea appears to have caught a terrible cold, as its turquoise water is now covered with a nasty layer of "sea snot". The so-called "sea snot" is actually mucilage, a kind of gelatinous substance produced by phycophyta and phytoplankton that threatens the environment, underwater life, and the fishing industry. The "sea snot" under the water is as bad as the mucilage floating on the water's surface. Salgio, a Turkish diver, said that the deeper he dives, the more mucilage he sees. "Dense and very dense. I mean, there is nothing changing. It's going worse. When you see this, these are the dead ones. Under water, where I made the videos, you can see are the ones which are still alive, and growing and growing, and more and more," said Salgio. According to Turkish marine expert Mustafa Sari, there are three major reasons contributing to the dreadful phenomenon. "The first reason is the heavy pollution. In addition, the sea is quite calm. Plus, global warming results in the rising temperature of the ocean. These are the three reasons causing the 'sea snot'," said Sari. This is not the first time that "sea snot" has appeared in Turkey, but this year's mucilage is much more serious than before. "Mucilage is very harmful. But what I want to emphasize is that the worst is its damage to the ecological system. It's a huge threat to underwater creatures. We have to take action immediately," Sari said. It's the off season for Turkey's fishing industry, so the negative impacts of the "sea snot" have not yet impacted local fishermen. But coastal restaurants, already struggling because of COVID-19 measures, have been unable to catch a break. "Summer is usually the peak season for seaside restaurants like us. We already barely opened for business previously due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, when we are finally able to reopen, here comes the 'sea snot'. Therefore, we have very few customers," said Dursun, a local restaurant owner. To tackle the mucilage problem, the local government has united multiple departments to carry out joint operations to remove the thick jello-like layer of slime using professional teams, as well as to set up a task force to clean up sewage and carry out proper garbage disposal.

A community kitchen in Ambujwadi, Malvani re-started to provide food to people in need. It could serve 1,000 people evening meals daily. But as the second wave of COVID-19 hit the country extremely hard, the people of Mumbai are witnessing far more distressful humanitarian crises with patients having a hard time accessing medicines, oxygen, hospitalization and other necessary supplies. Those at the margins are the most affected. The community kitchen is also facing a funding crunch.

England delays easing of restrictions amid COVID-19 Delta variant concerns

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday confirmed a four-week delay to the lifting of all COVID-19 restrictions in England beyond June 21, citing the risk of highly transmissible Delta variant, which was first identified in India. The confirmed delay means the lifting of restrictions will not take place until July 19, as the new move will allow more time for people to be vaccinated given the dangers of the Delta variant, Johnson said at a press conference. SOUNDBITE (English): BORIS JOHNSON, British Prime Minister "And that is why we are so concerned by the Delta variant that is now spreading faster than the third wave predicted in the February roadmap. We're seeing cases growing by about 64 percent per week, and in the worst affected areas, it's doubling every week. And the average number of people being admitted to hospital in England has increased by 50 percent week on week, and by 61 percent in the Northwest, which may be the shape of things to come." The British government will step up its efforts to vaccinate the people in the country, he said. Aged over 40 who have had their first jab will only have to wait eight weeks instead of 12 weeks for their second jab, while 23 and 24-year-olds will start to be offered a vaccine from Tuesday, the prime minister said. More than 41.6 million people have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and more than 29.9 million have received their second dose across Britain, according to the latest official figures. Meanwhile, weddings can go ahead with more than 30 people from June 21, as long as people stick to social distancing, the prime minister confirmed. Britain reported another 7,742 COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in the country to 4,573,419, according to official figures released Monday. The country also recorded another three coronavirus-related deaths, bringing the total number of coronavirus-related deaths in Britain to 127,907.

Over half of Italy now in COVID-19 "white zone"

Over half of Italy or about 40 million of the country's 60 million inhabitants are now in COVID-19 "white zone" as of Monday, meaning that most anti-COVID restrictions are lifted following a new ordinance issued by Health Minister Roberto Speranza. The only remaining COVID-19 regulations are social distancing and mask wearing both indoors and outdoors. In the ordinance issued on Saturday, the regions of Emilia-Romagna, Lazio (whose capital is Rome), Lombardy (whose capital is Milan), Piedmont, Puglia and the Autonomous Province di Trento could join Abruzzo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Molise, the island region of Sardinia, Umbria, and the northern Veneto region whose capital is Venice, in the white zone. According to the latest weekly COVID-19 monitoring report issued on June 11 and data from the National Institute of Health (ISS), "the incidence (of viral transmission) continues to drop," from 36 cases per 100,000 inhabitants on May 24-30 to 26 cases between May 31 and June 6. "No region or autonomous province is above the critical threshold in terms of ICU or hospital bed occupancy," the ordinance stated. Italy's seven remaining regions are in a yellow or low-risk zone, with some restrictions still in place, including a midnight to 5 a.m. curfew for people who have not been fully vaccinated. Figures released on Monday by the Ministry of Health showed that there were a total of 907 new infections nationwide and 36 fatalities. In a bid to contain the second wave of the pandemic, Italy has been using a color-coded system for COVID-19 situation in different regions in the country since late last year -- white for almost zero risk, yellow for low risk, orange for medium risk, and red for high risk -- with varying restrictions according to the level of virus transmission. The new ordinance did not specify until when the latest regulations will remain in place. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Rome.

Chinese Luban workshop boosts vocational skills, career prospects for African youth amid pandemic

Peter Kariuki, a 23-year-old Kenyan telecommunications engineering major, has vowed to be at the frontline of his country's fourth industrial revolution that promises new jobs for the youth. The ambitious youngster is enrolled at Machakos University, located about 65 kilometres southeast of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, where a Luban workshop launched in Dec. 2019 has raised the bar in vocational training. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has affected learning institutions worldwide, China has been working with African countries in establishing more Luban workshops. China's Tianjin City Vocational College, which jointly builds the Luban workshop with Machakos University in the Kenyan institution, has been communicating with the university through the Internet. The workshop carries out a five-day training on cloud computing from Jan. 25 this year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a document from the Chinese college. A total of 19 trainees from Kenyan universities, including those from Machakos University, took part in the training. Kariuki said that the training he received at the facility in the last four months has been a game changer in his quest to refine technical skills and pave way for a lucrative career in the industries of the future. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): PETER KARIUKI, Telecommunications student, Machakos University "I have been taking a HCIA (Huawei Certified ICT Associate) routing and switching hardware at Luban workshop for the last four months." He said that enrolling in the program has improved his grasp of state-of-the-art networking technologies and their application in real-life situations. Kariuki said that theories taught at class have not adequately prepared him for a demanding career in network engineering so he decided to join Luban workshop. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): PETER KARIUKI, Telecommunications student, Machakos University "In class we have a lot of theory. So I found it better if I could enrol for a programme that is related to my area of majoring and I decided to enrol in HCIA routing and switching. In HCIA routing and switching here at Luban workshop, you get to learn a lot of skills, hands-on skills unlike in class where we do a lot of theories. We learn about switches, routers, and how to configure switches, configure routers." Hundreds of Kenyan youth have acquired cutting-edge technical skills at Machakos University's Luban workshop since its inauguration in Dec. 2019. Kenya is among a growing number of African countries including Uganda, Ethiopia and Nigeria where the launch of Luban workshops is in line with China' pledge to boost capacity building including vocational training on the continent.

Feature: Chinese eatery in Phnom Penh shares Zongzi with Cambodians to mark Dragon Boat Festival

Cambodian ride-hailing driver Khin Sopheap unexpectedly enjoyed the taste of Zongzi on Monday while driving past a Chinese eatery when its staffers were offering the snack together with lunch meals to passers-by for free to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. SOUNDBITE 1 (Cambodian): KHIN SOPHEAP, Cambodian ride-hailing driver "It's really delicious and I like it," he told Xinhua after eating the snack. I'm really pleased to learn about Chinese culture and traditions. Offering Zongzi to Cambodians not only exhibits Chinese culture and traditions but also contributes to promoting people-to-people friendship between the two countries." Zongzi, a glutinous rice dumpling wrapped up with bamboo or reed leaves, is a traditional delicacy that Chinese people eat on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, which fell on Monday, June 14 this year. In China, Zongzi commemorates the death of famous Chinese poet Qu Yuan during the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). Sopheap tasted a few pieces of Zongzi and extolled its flavor. The father of four children said that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, his family has struggled with financial difficulties as his daily revenue has declined remarkably. SOUNDBITE 2 (Cambodian): KHIN SOPHEAP, Cambodian ride-hailing driver "Before the COVID-19, I made 40,000 riels (10 U.S. dollars) to 50,000 riels (12.5 dollars) a day, but now there's no revenue because of no customers and someday, earn only 10,000 riels (2.5 U.S. dollars). The sharing (of food) from Chinese people to needy Cambodians during the COVID-19 is very important and it reflects good relations between our two peoples who always give mutual help during difficult times." Motor-taxi driver Suon Soklong, 61, offered his gratitude to China for helping Cambodia and its people during this difficult time. SOUNDBITE 3 (Cambodian): SUON KOKLONG, Motor-taxi driver "Thank you China and the Chinese people for supporting our socio-economic development and helping us to fight COVID-19.

新型コロナウイルスの影響で閉鎖していた動物園が2か月ぶりに再開=タイ

A Thai zoo re-opened on Monday (June 14) two months after it was forced to close due to the spread of Covid-19. Chiang Mai Zoo in the north of Thailand marked its reopening with animal mascots and handing of souvenirs to tourists. The zoo followed health protocols including regular disinfection but after the province was listed as one of the high-risk areas with one of the most Covid-19 cases recorded in April, they had to close down. Zoo director Wuttichai Muangmun said: 'We will be more vigilant in enforcing the health protocols to protect the guests, our staff, and the animals. 'The zookeepers will disinfect the place throughout the day especially areas where visitors are mostly gathered such as ticket sales booths and outside enclosures.' Guests were required to take temperature screenings and wear face masks while inside the establishment for more protection while hand sanitizers were placed in several spots inside the zoo. Everyone will also be required to scan and log their details to apps so that they each guest could be reached in case a possible contact with a Covid-19 patient was spotted. To show gratitude, staff gave tokens and souvenirs to tourists who had visited them on their first day of reopening after the third wave of cases hit the region. However, some parts of the zoo will remain closed such as the Panda Show Zone while its ventilation system is under renovation. Wutthichai added: 'The panda show is expected to be opened at the beginning of July. Our panda is a goodwill ambassador of the Thailand-China relationship. 'We have taken extra care of our pandas. They have separate air conditioners to prevent the spread of virus in an enclosed space.' Thailand has recorded 202,264 Covid-19 cases and 1,485 deaths as of June 14. Plans to re-open the country to tourists involve 'sandbox' quarantine areas where vaccinated visitors can stay while roaming around beaches and bars for 14 days. However, economists fear that it could be up to five years before the country's tourism industry returns to pre-pandemic levels. Two years ago tourism made up an estimated 21 per cent of Thailand's GDP, generating 1.8 trillion baht in revenue. However, the country's National Economic and Social Development Council predicted that it could be another five years before similar numbers are seen. Analysts said that between now and 2026, around seven million workers will continue to be affected by the economic harm from the Covid-19 pandemic.A Thai zoo re-opened on Monday (June 14) two months after it was forced to close due to the spread of Covid-19.

Japan scraps 6,400 vaccine doses due to improper storage, inoculates 4 with bad jabs

Japan's coronavirus vaccination campaign has reportedly made several mistakes when four elderly residents in Tokyo were inoculated with scrapped jabs while nearly 6,400 doses of vaccines were discarded in the nearby city of Kawasaki due to improper storage. Four elderly residents in their 70s and 80s were inoculated on Sunday with the vaccines that were due to be scrapped, according to a report by Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS). The batch of vaccines were labeled as 'prohibited to be used' the day before as the storage temperature was below the standard. The four individuals were reported not to have any adverse reactions and will be tested for antibodies in two to three weeks to determine whether they need to be re-vaccinated. Meanwhile, a cold storage unit that stores Pfizer vaccines suffered a "temperature failure" in Tokyo's neighboring city of Kawasaki, Japan's state broadcaster NHK reported on Sunday. The refrigeration environment, which is supposed to maintain temperatures between minus 80 degrees Celsius and minus 60 degrees Celsius, heated up to eight to nine degrees Celsius at one point. Investigations reveal that the sudden warming occurred on Friday and Saturday, but was not discovered until Sunday, resulting in the removal of 6,396 doses of vaccines. Japan began inoculating its elderly population in mid-April, after vaccinating health care workers which started in February.

Guangdong residents under lockdowns enjoy Duanwu Festival

Residents under closed-loop management, medical workers and builders in south China's Guangdong Province have enjoyed the traditional Duanwu, or the Dragon Boat Festival which falls on Monday, with strict anti-epidemic measures in place. By Sunday, Guangdong had reported a total of 2,625 confirmed COVID-19 cases, including 1,075 imported ones. Currently, 194 patients are receiving treatment in hospitals, said the local health commission. Two high-risk areas and ten medium-risk ones hit by the latest resurgence of the epidemic in Guangzhou are still under the closed-loop management, where no exit is allowed. The city has beefed up efforts to ensure a stable and sufficient supply of daily necessities for residential communities there. During the three-day Duanwu Festival holiday, residents and medical workers in these areas have received festival gifts from local authorities and their companies. Some "three-person teams" composed of community doctors, police and worker delivered the festival gifts to 234 households with over 520 residents living in Lihaiyaju Community in Binjiang Street of the city's Haizhu District. Medical workers working on the front line of battling the epidemic have also received gifts of Zongzi or glutinous rice cones stuffed different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, local delicacy claypot rice and milk. Many builders in the province have answered the government call to stay put during the Duanwu Festival this year to curb the epidemic spread At a construction site in Zhuhai City, workers have continued to work during the festival. The project leaders sent Zongzi and drinks to them. "During the Duanwu Festival, none of us has left Zhuhai. And all us members of the Communist Party of China have played an exemplary role to stick to the post with frontline workers, guaranteeing to complete the project on time with high quality," said Wei Ningzhe, Chief Engineer of the Huanping Road Project under the China Railway Tunnel Group. After they got off work, workers sat together to make Zongzi. "I feel very happy to make Zongzi with so many people, among them are both old and new friends. So cool. When I have learned how to make it, I'd make Zongzi for my mom once I go home one day," said Zhang Lei, Head of Finance Department of the project. "We organized this activity to allow workers from across China to have a good time during the festival in Zhuhai and feel the taste of home. So they are all happily making Zongzi here and enjoy the festival," said Xiong Jiangang, a leading official of the Construction Project Department. The Duanwu or Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar Chinese calendar in memory of famous Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). Eating Zongzi is part of Chinese tradition for marking the annual Duanwu Festival. (Original Title: Guangdong residents under lockdowns enjoy Duanwu Festival)

G7's global COVID-19 vaccination plan is not enough, must do more to help: int'l organizations

A number of international organizations claim that the vaccination commitments from the Group of Seven (G7) are not enough and overdue despite previous donations and promises for increased contributions to aid global need. Leaders of the G7 -- Britain, the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, France and Italy -- plus the European Union gathered for a summit at a seaside resort in Britain for three days ending on June 13, as the first in-person meeting of the G7 leaders in almost two years and the first major in-person summit held by the UK after Brexit. The G7 leaders belatedly pledged to provide one billion doses of coronavirus vaccines to less developed countries over the next year. Senior policy advisor with Oxfam Anna Marriott said the G7's vaccine commitment is a historic failure to rise to the challenge of the times, the huge health emergency that the world is facing and the G7 really hasn't stepped up to the mark. The executive director for Africa of the One Campaign Edwin Ikhuoria said, "it is quite interesting to see how they think one billion for one year would actually end the pandemic, which is really funny because that is not even take the five percent of [the target] population." The promised one billion doses of coronavirus vaccines is designated to help developing nations in the ongoing global need for inoculations but this amount is reportedly only able to cover five percent of the population of the targeted low income countries. "So it is quite disappointing because the whole world is looking up for these richest countries to come together, hoping that they can mobilize as a group to really try to end the pandemic on time because the longer it takes, the whole world suffers from that," Ikhuoria said. The head of inequality policy with Oxfam International Max Lawson said the developed countries should donate more doses of vaccines than only one billion, adding that even with the billion they are 'cooking the books.' "It's absolutely not enough. And not just Oxfam, the WHO has said we need far, far more and we need them now. And we also need them to share the intellectual property - developing countries need the rights and the recipes to make their own vaccines, not relying on charity, the largesse of the G7. So it's completely inadequate on battling the coronavirus crisis," Lawson said. (Original Title: G7's global COVID-19 vaccination plan is not enough, must do more to help: int'l organizations)

香港で1年ぶりにドラゴンボートレースが開催される＝中国

Dragon boat races took place in Hong Kong's Sai Kung again in 2021 after being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19. The dragon boats can be seen racing in a show of strength in this drone footage filmed on June 14. According to the tradition, the Dragon Boat festival is meant to remember the death of Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was an outstanding patriotic poet as well as a politician in the late Warring States Period. After witnessing the collapse of his country, Chu State, he was unwilling to give himself up to other countries. Therefore, he committed suicide by drowning in the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Hearing the news, people sailed boats to salvage his body. To protect his corpse from fish, people also threw Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) to feed the creatures in the water. In other traditions, the race also celebrates the arrival of Summer (masculine yang also featured as a dragon) and the departure of the feminine yin, traditionally associated with winter and spring.

7万頭のロバが水や荷物を過酷な状況の中で運ばされるものの、満足な食事や水を与えられていない＝モーリタニア

This heart-breaking video illustrates the punishing daily workload of 70,000 donkeys which haul water around a sweltering Saharan city. Nouakchott is the capital of Mauritania in north-west Africa but has no piped water system to serve its 1.3 million residents. Donkeys are used to transport water from house to house, regularly working 10-12 hour days in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees. But despite the vital role they carry out, these working animals often do not have access to the water and food they need, along with other basic necessities such as veterinary care. The Covid-19 crisis is having a devastating impact on working animals in the world's poorest communities - and food and water have become even more critical issues in the past year. Local lockdowns and restrictions on work have left many owners with no incomes and struggling to feed their families and their animals. In response to this crisis, international animal charity SPANA (the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad) has been undertaking emergency feeding programmes around the world to save the lives of starving animals. In Mauritania, the charity provided food, water and lifesaving veterinary treatment to more than 97,000 working donkeys and horses throughout the country last year. This project has been a lifeline to animals already hard hit by a prolonged period of drought, with food and water extremely hard to come by. SPANA's sixth annual International Working Animal Day, taking place on 15 June 2021, is raising awareness about the essential role of working animals in developing countries around the world - and the difficult lives they endure. Dr Ben Sturgeon, director of veterinary services at SPANA, said: "It's hard to imagine just how exhausting it would be to carry backbreaking loads, in terrible conditions and extreme heat, every single day. "Working animals, such as the donkeys and horses of Mauritania, have vital roles - transporting food and water, which are fundamental for the survival of communities. "But all too often these animals do not have the water, food and essential veterinary care they need themselves. "On International Working Animal Day, we're shining a light on this forgotten workforce. They work so hard and they desperately need our help." Countless poverty-stricken families in Mauritania rely on working animals to earn a small income and put food on the table. In Nouakchott alone, a further 30,000 donkeys transport other goods, such as charcoal, construction materials and even rubbish. In the past, there was no help available for these animals - wounds and injuries were left untreated, donkeys received no vaccinations or necessary medications, and harmful practices were common. Since 2001, however, SPANA has provided free veterinary treatment to the working animals of Mauritania. The charity operates veterinary centres and mobile clinics in Nouakchott and other locations across Mauritania to treat sick and injured animals. SPANA trains animal owners in how to look after their animals properly (including ensuring their diet and nutrition is adequate), and this training was given to more than 19,000 owners in 2020. The charity also runs an education programme in Mauritania, helping schoolchildren - the next generation of animal owners - to develop feelings of respect and compassion towards animals, bringing about long-term improvements in animal welfare. Last year, more than 4,700 children benefited from animal welfare lessons in Mauritania.

Dragon Boat Festival celebrated in Australian capital with demonstration of Chinese culture

Hundreds of people gathered in the Australian capital Canberra to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, enjoying performances including lion dance and Taichi, trying different snacks such as zongzi, glutinous rice dumplings with various fillings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, and learning more about the Chinese culture. According to John Corcoran, President of Dragon Boat ACT (Australian Capital Territory), it's also the first time that the organization has participated in the festival. Corcoran joined the sport about 12 years ago, when he got to know about its connection with the festival as well as its origin. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): JOHN CORCORAN, President of Dragon Boat ACT (Australian Capital Territory) "It relates back to the legend of a government advisor during China's Warring States Period. I learnt about that when I joined dragon boat myself, about 12 years ago. We did some demonstration racing. And we also did some demonstration just for fun." Visitors were invited to sit in two boats on the shore to get a feeling of the sport. Francisca Cascillo just bought a big zongzi to share with her partner and daughter. She said that it was her first time to celebrate the festival. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): FRANCISCA CASCILLO, Local resident "You can see the boats on the lake, you can eat the food, you can see some dances and you really get to learn a little bit more of the culture. So I think it is really good. " SOUNDBITE 3 (English): JOLA SAMOC, Local resident "I came here with my seven-year-old son and my husband. I must admit that the lion dancing was fantastic. It was great. And also the dragon boat is really brilliant." According to the organizer, there were 18 stalls at the festival, many of which showcasing Chinese culture. Some children learned how to wrap zongzi with colorful paper, and some were attracted to try Chinese calligraphy. The Chinese Embassy in Australia also had a stall to showcase books, paper-cutting artworks, miniature kites, clay and wooden sculptures, etc. SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): ZHANG ZHENLIANG, Teacher of Australian School of Contemporary Chinese "We are here to promote the Chinese culture, so that the descendants of overseas Chinese could inherit the cultural legacy, and Australian locals learn more about the essence of our culture. People here are interested in our culture. That makes me feel proud as a Chinese." SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): SONG YANQUN, Minister-counselor for culture at Chinese Embassy in Australia "We have many visitors at our stall.

Trans-Tasman bubble lifts travel between New Zealand, Australia

The number of people crossing New Zealand's border has climbed since the two-way quarantine-free travel opened with Australia on April 19, the statistics department Stats NZ said on Monday. There were 85,900 border crossings in April 2021, made up of 47,000 arrivals and 38,900 departures. Total border crossings were well up compared with the earlier months of 2021, which averaged 26,300 border crossings a month, Stats NZ said. "Despite this increase, arrivals and departures are significantly lower than levels before COVID-19, when border crossings were as high as 1.2 million in April," population indicators manager Tehseen Islam said in a statement. Border crossings include all arrivals and departures, either for short-term trips or longer term, and by people living overseas or in New Zealand, according to Stats NZ. There were over 70,000 border crossings to and from Australia in April 2021, made up of 39,900 arrivals and 30,200 departures, it said. "Trans-Tasman travel made up about 80 percent of all international travel in April 2021," Islam said, adding New Zealand citizens represented about 60 percent of arrivals from Australia and 67 percent of departures to Australia. "With the introduction of quarantine-free travel between New Zealand and Australia, the main reason for people travelling was to visit family and friends," Islam said. Provisional border crossing data up to June 6 showed a small increase in travel with the Cook Islands each week since two-way quarantine-free travel opened on May 17. However, this is well below levels in the same period in 2019, he said. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Wellington.

Cycling race in Istanbul raises money for children of deceased health workers

Turkey hosted Sunday a cycling event in the country's biggest city Istanbul to raise funds for the children of the healthcare workers who died fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Erkan noted that his company offered to buy electronic waste such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, and accessories from participating cyclists and audiences, so they could use the money to offer scholarships for children of the heroes who lost their lives fighting the deadly virus. According to press reports released in March, more than 400 healthcare workers have died in Turkey after getting infected with the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic. SOUNDBITE 2 (Turkish): MURAT ERKAN, General manager of Turkcell "This (the entire project) is something very important, and we are pleased to be a part of it."

Second consignment of China-donated COVID-19 vaccines arrive in Bangladesh

The second batch of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccines donated by the Chinese government arrived in Bangladesh on Sunday evening, the Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) said here. ISPR, a department under Bangladesh's defense ministry, said in a statement that the two aircraft of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) shipping the vaccines arrived in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka at around 5:30 p.m. local time from Beijing. Bangladesh's drug regulator in April authorized the emergency use of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine in the Asian country after Dhaka suspended the first dosing of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on a supply crunch. The donation of second consignment was made after Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone conversation with Bangladeshi Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen on May 21.

China could not accomplish what it's achieved without CPC, says Scottish writer

SOUNDBITE (English): DAVID FERGUSON, Scottish writer and translator "I do not think that there is any way that China could have achieved what has achieved without the CPC. Because basically what the CPC does is it creates the conditions that allow people to work for prosperity. If a country and the people of the country are going to become prosperous, certain conditions have to be there. You need stability, you need order, you need strong governance, you need predictability on a conceptual level. You need an industry base, and you need infrastructure on a technical level. And the CPC has succeeded in creating these conditions in a way that no other poor country has been able to do. So number one, you have to be able to create the conditions to allow people to work for prosperity. And the second one, in terms of specifics, like poverty alleviation, what's the CPC done there? First of all, they had this strategy and they had a structure at national level consistently applied. And it made sense. It was a logical strategy. First of all, they work at a regional level in terms of eliminating poverty. And that would basically be about providing overall investment, providing funding to help to start addressing poverty at regional level. Then they moved it down a level to a kind of county, city level. And there what they were doing was establishing industries, establishing economic activities that were properly geared and planned to take advantage of the strengths of an individual area. And the next stage down was they called targeted poverty alleviation, which was the last step. And they're literally looking at individual families. Village officials responsible for poverty alleviation had a responsibility to know every family that was still living below the poverty level and to understand the root cause of their poverty, which was often lack of education, often related to health or simple geographical factors. So the strategy in terms of poverty alleviation was to work down through a series of levels until you were literally looking individual poor people and saying, what do they need to lift them above the threshold? So that was a very successful, a very structured strategy. And that is why the CPC and China has been able to raise everybody above the level of absolute poverty. And, to an extent, no other country has ever been able to match or measure up against. That's another good specific example of where China's succeeded and if you compare China's approach to the approach in Western countries, there's a huge contrast. When COVID-19 first broke out in China, Western countries looked on with a very critical eye. China's response was very vigorous and very targeted. First of all, they closed down the city of Wuhan and put under lockdown key areas for several weeks. As soon as there was an outbreak anywhere else, they responded very rapidly in terms of lockdown, but it was a local lockdown. And as a result of that response, what China was able to do was prevent COVID from spreading out into society. Basically where they had a local lockdown, which we sometimes had here in Beijing and other places, it didn't need to last more than two weeks. And I think right from the outside, China was very conscious of the need to maintain, to keep the economy functioning. And that was the reason for these very targeted, very vigorous action."

GLOBALink | UK PM says "selfish, nationalistic approaches" marred initial fight against COVID-19

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday admitted that "selfish and nationalistic approaches" had marred the initial global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. "I know the world was looking to us to reject some of the selfish and nationalistic approaches that have marred the initial global response to the pandemic," Johnson said at a press conference as the G7 leaders wrapped up their first in-person summit in almost two years in Britain's southwestern resort of Carbis Bay, Cornwall. SOUNDBITE (English): BORIS JOHNSON, British Prime Minister "This Summit was the first gathering of G7 leaders - in fact the first gathering of pretty much any leaders - in almost two years. And I know the world was looking to us to reject some of the selfishness and nationalist approaches that have marred the initial global response to the pandemic, and to channel all our diplomatic, economic and scientific might into defeating COVID for good. And I do hope we have lived up to some of the most optimistic of hopes and predictions." Johnson voiced his hope that a new pledge made by the G7 countries about sharing 1 billion COVID-19 vaccines with the world's low-income countries over next year has lived up to "some of the most optimistic of hopes and predictions." The vaccines will include 100 million doses from Britain and 500 million from the United States. Britain is the first European country that passed the grim mark of 100,000 coronavirus-related deaths. The G7 countries have long been criticized for hoarding vaccines. They have reserved more than a third of the world's vaccine supply, despite making up only 13 percent of the global population. Countries like Canada, Britain and the United States have had enough doses to vaccinate their entire populations multiple times over. In a joint communique issued at the end of the summit, the G7 countries said they will support science in a mission to shorten the cycle for the development of safe and effective vaccines, treatments and tests from 300 days to 100 days. Aside from supporting their own pandemic-hit economies "for as long as is necessary," the G7 countries will strengthen partnerships with other countries, according to the communique. Acknowledging the urgency of fighting climate change, the G7 countries said they will accelerate the transition away from coal, but failed to provide a timeline to end the use of coal for generating electrical power. The prime minister, whose country holds the rotating G7 presidency, said that "action has to start with us" as a group to reduce global carbon emissions. Leaders from Britain, the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, France and Italy, plus the European Union, took part in the three-day gathering. Britain also invited Australia, India, the Republic of Korea and South Africa as guest countries to this year's meeting. During the G7 summit, multiple protests were staged in Cornwall to accuse the "rich countries' club" of making "empty promises" and failing to properly tackle such issues as climate change and ecological emergency. The G7 summit was also overshadowed by the newly exposed scandal of U.S. spying on European politicians and the Britain-EU dispute over Northern Ireland, among other issues.

GLOBALink | CPC's governance better guarantees people's freedom than West: Pakistani expert

SOUNDBITE (English): JAVED AKHTAR, Diplomatic & Political Correspondent of The Independent News Pakistan "The world and the people in Pakistan closely watched how China has successfully overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, under the leadership of the CPC. It was well-recognized worldwide that China implemented strict epidemic prevention and control measures and took the lead in bringing the epidemic under control at the earliest. That means that the Chinese government, under the CPC, kept high the basic freedom of the people, ensuring their access to their basic rights and needs. At a time, the temporary lockdown was enforced in its affected region. In doing that, the people's freedom remains unaffected for availing socio-economic facilities. While introducing restrictions at the public level, in wake of the epidemic, it was noted that the pace of the country's overall development remained unaffected. The vast majority of the people has been enjoying a normal life, while the nation was fighting the COVID-19 virus. It was the result of a well-thought policy of the CPC that the safety of people's lives was ensured and the economy and society were back on track in the shortest possible time. Hence China succeeded in setting a model before the world as how the pandemic could be well controlled without imposing unnecessary restrictions. While on the other side, the Western countries which always advocate having so-called "absolute freedom," failed to translate this claim at the ground-level, while fighting the pandemic. There is a lack of proper policy and working order at the level of most of the Western counties, like the United States, the United Kingdom, which claimed themselves as having the most strong political and social system. Unreasonable and unrealistic policies and measures in these countries forced the people to come to the street and protest against the government on a vast scale. It was also seen that the Chinese government, in the meanwhile, took the right decisions, including the suspension of shops, the temporary closure of cities, the quarantine and the wearing of masks. It was well-established that comparing China's freedom with the so-called freedom in the West, the CPC's idea of governing the country was more correct and could better guarantee people's life and freedom than the idea advocated by the West."

Festival of flowers blooms in New York City

With more than 100 florists and one million flowers, a European-style flower show popped up in the Meatpacking District in New York City over this weekend. During the two-day event, florists created nearly 50 flower installations at various locations across the neighborhood throughout storefronts and plazas. A European-style flower market appeared on the scene. Many small businesses, including florists, have suffered financial loss in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers hope the festival could boost the floral business when more and more people come back to the area as New York City continues to reopen.

Hong Kong holds boat race on land celebrating Dragon Boat Festival amid COVID-19

Boat racing has been a popular festive event in celebrating the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival in Hong Kong. However, as large-scale gatherings were still risky in Hong Kong due to the lingering COVID-19 epidemic, a mini boat race on land was held Sunday with people enjoying the festival in a safer but no less joyful way. Rowers holding wooden sticks, instead of paddles, tried hard to move their special land boats as fast as they could on a street of Square Mile, a shopping and entertainment area in West Kowloon. But the racing boat used this time was much smaller, 5.6 m long and 0.9 m wide, and could only carry four people on board. Four wheels were installed onto bottom of the boat to make it move on land. In the four-round games, 12 teams first competed for speed and then rowed a tug of war to decide the champion. The event was organized by the Square Mile Association and the Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association. The Dragon Boat Festival is a day to remember the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan and falls on Monday this year. In addition to dragon boat races, people also enjoy the festive food Zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves.

Experience the "Flight into Egypt" but with COVID-19 restrictions

Out of the hundreds of thousands who used to frequent Egypt's Church Of Blessed Virgin Mary Of Mount Bird annually, only a handful of people are now visiting out of COVID-19 fears. The archaeological site, where the holy family was believed to have sought refuge some 2,000 years ago, is located in Mount Bird village in Samalout, Minya, in southern Egypt. A priest at the church says nearly 2 million people, both Muslims and Christians, used to visit the holy site starting the end of May and the beginning of June every year to follow the footsteps of the holy family. But due to coronavirus restrictions, church authorities say only a limited number of people are allowed to visit. No tents are allowed to be set up around the church, instead, people rent rooms in the residential buildings nearby. The church was built in 328 AD and is completely carved inside a mountain. It is considered the second most important spot visited by the holy family in Egypt after al-Muharraq Monastery. The country's health authorities say Egypt has so far recorded 272,491 coronavirus cases, including 15,582 deaths.

Much of Italy becomes a low risk 'white zone' with curfew removed

Six more of Italy's regions moved to a low risk coronavirus 'white zone' on Monday (June 14) allowing for a relaxation of some restrictions including the removal of an evening curfew. The Lazio region which includes the capital Rome and Lombardy which includes Milan moved to the 'white zone' plus the regions of Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Puglia and Trento. Twelve out of 21 regions are now virtually restriction free with the rest of the country in low-risk yellow zones. 'White zone' restrictions include mask-wearing which is still mandatory inside and outside and social distancing with continued restrictions on large gatherings and house parties. An evening curfew that has been operational for more than seven months, is now scrapped. In the centre of Rome by one of the most popular tourist sites, the Trevi fountain, visitors gathered to take photographs but the number of people was still very small compared to the summer season before the pandemic. Even so, Italians in the capital were relieved to have a new sense of freedom. "It means that we can start enjoying the little things that life had taken away from us during this ugly period that we have lived through," said Cristina Casali as she sat enjoying a coffee. Italy reported 26 coronavirus-related deaths on Sunday (June 13), the health ministry said, while the daily tally of new infections fell to 1,390 from 1,723. The country has registered 127,002 deaths linked to COVID-19 since its outbreak emerged in February last year. That is the second-highest toll in Europe behind Britain and the eighth-highest in the world. The country has reported 4.24 million cases to date.

Soccer-Euro host city St Petersburg tightens COVID curbs as cases rise

Authorities in St. Petersburg are tightening restrictions as the Russian city hosts foreign soccer fans for European championship matches despite recording an increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Russia has reported a recent jump in coronavirus cases while continuing to host major international events. Its two largest cities have announced additional measures to contain the pandemic. St. Petersburg, which is hosting seven matches including a quarter-final, is authorised to fill its stadium at 50% of capacity. Beglov said limiting the number of fans would have no effect if masks were worn at the stadium's entrance but discarded in the stands. Municipal authorities said they would shutter most food courts, order restaurants to close between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and limit the number of people authorized to take part in public indoor and outdoor events starting on Thursday. Organisers of the city's fan zone said they had purchased an additional 100,000 medical masks to distribute to visitors. Catering services in the fan zone will be closed starting on Thursday but drinks will continue to be sold, municipal authorities said. Not all fans were thrilled by the increased scrutiny. "I think restrictions are needed but they should be softer in the fan zone," said Andrei, a fan of the Russian team standing outside the area. "Many foreign fans have come and they really want to cheer and take part in this event." Ambulances containing suspected COVID-19 patients were lined up outside a local hospital on Monday, while metro officials denied entry to maskless commuters. The new measures in St. Petersburg, which reported 865 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, come a day after the mayor of Moscow said the city was repurposing thousands of hospital beds for an influx of COVID-19 patients and told residents to stay off work this week to help curb the spread of the virus. Russia, a country of around 145 million people, has reported more than 5.2 million infections since the start of the pandemic.

Houston mural marks painful COVID milestone as U.S. deaths reach 600,000

The United States has lost more than 600,000 mothers, fathers, children and friends to COVID-19, crossing a milestone that is a painful reminder that death, sickness and grief continue even as the country begins to emerge from pandemic lockdowns. One Houston artist, still deep in grief, is working on a living collage of images of people who have died in her community. Joni Zavitsanos started looking up obituaries of people in Southeast Texas who died in the pandemic's early days, reading their stories and creating mixed-media memorials displaying their names and photographs. "It was lockdown time. We're watching the news, and hearing about people dying," she told Reuters in June just a few days before the nation officially reached 600,000 COVID deaths. "All these weird statistics. And as I'm working in the studio, I begin thinking, like, 'Who are these people? Who are they talking about? This seems so cold and impersonal'." Zavitsanos's growing memorial consists of individual portraits of some of Houston's COVID victims, to be mounted together to form an installation. The images are printed onto eight-by-eight inch (twenty-by-twenty cm) pieces of wood using a simple home "HP printer" that a friend gave the artist, she told Reuters. Around each person Zavitsanos paints a halo using gold leaf, an homage to the Byzantine art of the Greek Orthodox church that she attends. She has now created about 575 images and plans to keep going, making as many as she can. Among the victims whose portraits stand out for her was a former convict named Roger who was close to his release date from a transitional halfway house for ex-offenders. Zavitsanos says Roger was planning to move in with his grown son and grandchildren when he contracted COVID. "He ended up dying in the halfway house and it was just a great pain for his son because he was ready for him to come back," she told Reuters. And there was Bridgett, too. A Holocaust survivor from Germany who escaped the Nazis three times, Zavitsanos says, but who could not fight off the virus. Vinceanne Mandola's 77-year-old father, Vincent, died while in a hospital and is also memorialized on the mural. She told Reuters her father wasn't used to video apps like Facetime to communicate with his family from his hospital bed, so a nurse arranged for Vincent to wave to his family from a windowed room in the hospital, which they would identify from the street through flashing lights. "We have a picture of it on our phones where the nurse has an operating room light and he's flashing it from inside the window and we could see my dad. And so we were waving at him and cheering him on," she told Reuters. The U.S. passed 600,000 deaths from COVID-19 on Monday (June 14), about 15% of the world's total of around 4 million, a Reuters tally shows. But the rate of illness and death has dropped so dramatically as more Americans have become vaccinated against the disease that a kind of whiplash plagues the millions whose lives have been touched by the disease. Many are eager to emerge from a year of sickness and lockdown, yet they still suffer - from grief, ongoing illness, economic trauma or the isolation of lockdown. Zavitsanos's own brother and three adult children contracted COVID-19 but recovered. A very close friend nearly died and is still struggling with rehabilitation, she says. "I know we can't bring them back," she told Reuters of the pandemic's victims. "But that they live among us and that they are with us, I want people to believe and to feel (that) and perhaps this is a way to do it."

Zavitsanos's growing memorial consists of individual portraits of some of Houston's COVID victims, to be mounted together to form an installation. The images are printed onto eight-by-eight inch (twenty-by-twenty cm) pieces of wood using a simple home "HP printer" that a friend gave the artist, she told Reuters. Around each person Zavitsanos paints a halo using gold leaf, an homage to the Byzantine art of the Greek Orthodox church that she attends. She has now created about 575 images and plans to keep going, making as many as she can. Among the victims whose portraits stand out for her was a former convict named Roger who was close to his release date from a transitional halfway house for ex-offenders. Zavitsanos says Roger was planning to move in with his grown son and grandchildren when he contracted COVID. "He ended up dying in the halfway house and it was just a great pain for his son because he was ready for him to come back," she told Reuters. And there was Bridgett, too. A Holocaust survivor from Germany who escaped the Nazis three times, Zavitsanos says, but who could not fight off the virus. Vinceanne Mandola's 77-year-old father, Vincent, died while in a hospital and is also memorialized on the mural. She told Reuters her father wasn't used to video apps like Facetime to communicate with his family from his hospital bed, so a nurse arranged for Vincent to wave to his family from a windowed room in the hospital, which they would identify from the street through flashing lights. "We have a picture of it on our phones where the nurse has an operating room light and he's flashing it from inside the window and we could see my dad. And so we were waving at him and cheering him on," she told Reuters. The U.S. passed 600,000 deaths from COVID-19 on Monday (June 14), about 15% of the world's total of around 4 million, a Reuters tally shows. But the rate of illness and death has dropped so dramatically as more Americans have become vaccinated against the disease that a kind of whiplash plagues the millions whose lives have been touched by the disease. Many are eager to emerge from a year of sickness and lockdown, yet they still suffer - from grief, ongoing illness, economic trauma or the isolation of lockdown. Zavitsanos's own brother and three adult children contracted COVID-19 but recovered. A very close friend nearly died and is still struggling with rehabilitation, she says. "I know we can't bring them back," she told Reuters of the pandemic's victims. "But that they live among us and that they are with us, I want people to believe and to feel (that) and perhaps this is a way to do it."

Houston mural marks painful COVID milestone as U.S. deaths reach 600,000

The United States has lost more than 600,000 mothers, fathers, children and friends to COVID-19, crossing a milestone that is a painful reminder that death, sickness and grief continue even as the country begins to emerge from pandemic lockdowns. One Houston artist, still deep in grief, is working on a living collage of images of people who have died in her community. Joni Zavitsanos started looking up obituaries of people in Southeast Texas who died in the pandemic's early days, reading their stories and creating mixed-media memorials displaying their names and photographs. "It was lockdown time. We're watching the news, and hearing about people dying," she told Reuters in June just a few days before the nation officially reached 600,000 COVID deaths. "All these weird statistics. And as I'm working in the studio, I begin thinking, like, 'Who are these people? Who are they talking about? This seems so cold and impersonal'."

Spain and Sweden fans were enjoying their Monday afternoon (June 14) in Seville as they eagerly anticipated their nations' opening Euro 2020 Group E match. Spanish superfan, Manolo el del bombo was in full swing drumming away with fans from both sides enjoying the atmosphere. Spain will be roared on by around 16,000 fans at La Cartuja stadium, which replaced Bilbao's San Mames as a venue two months ago due to concerns over COVID-19 restrictions in the Basque Country. Despite the festive mood on the streets of Seville, it's not been so fun inside Spain's team base with Luis Enrique's preparations for the game being affected by two COVID-19 positives but there is also a sense the chaos will keep them more determined to get off to a flying start. Captain Sergio Busquets' positive result last Sunday (June 6) forced the squad into isolation and halted group training sessions until Saturday while their final warm-up game against Lithuania was sacrificed and contested by the under-21 side instead. Defender Diego Llorente also tested positive two days later, adding yet more disarray to their plans, although he has returned to the fold after subsequently testing negative. Sweden, who lost 3-0 and drew 1-1 with Spain in qualifying, have also been rocked by COVID-19 positives which have ruled Dejan Kulusevski and Mattias Svanberg out of the game. Janne Andersson's side, who have been training in Gothenburg, may also struggle with the unforgiving heat in Seville, where 27 degrees Celsius is expected for kick off. Spain have been training at the hottest moments of the day at their Madrid base in order to acclimatise. The match begins at 2100 local time (1900GMT).

JAL全日空のスタッフに新型コロナワクチン接種を先行開始＝東京

Major Japanese airline companies began vaccinating their employees for COVID-19 on Monday (June 14). Japan Airlines (JAL) said they plan to vaccinate 36,000 staff, while All Nippon Airways (ANA) plans to vaccinate 46,500 of their staff. Neither company specified a timeframe for the vaccinations. Around 190 JAL employees received their first shot of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, company representatives said. Japan's Land Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Minister Kazuyoshi Akaba said that vaccinations for major companies were originally scheduled to start on June 21, but he had specifically requested for airlines to start "as early as possible". Japan is racing to speed up inoculations before the start of the Tokyo Olympics in July. Japan lags far behind other advanced economies in vaccinating its people - 12% have received at least one shot as of last week, according to a Reuters tracker, compared to France, the next lowest in the Group of Seven industrial powers at 42%, and the most advanced, Canada, at 63%.

新型コロナワクチン接種済のQRコード付きデジタル証明書 薬局で利用可能に＝ドイツ

Nachdem Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn in der vergangenen Woche den Startschuss für den digitalen europäischen Impfpass in Deutschland gegeben hat, sind ab Montag Apotheken eine mögliche Anlaufstelle für geimpfte Bundesbürger. "Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es losgeht", sagte Axel Trischmann, selbst Apothekeninhaber und gleichzeitig Vizevorsitzender des Berliner Apotheker-Vereins, zu Wochenbeginn und präsentierte vor Ort das Prozedere, um einen Impfnachweis zu digitalisieren. "Und die Technik dafür ist auch im Prinzip am Start, aber eben noch nicht geprüft bei einer so starken Inanspruchnahme, sodass wir damit rechnen, dass es in den ersten Tagen der Anwendung zu gewissen Verzögerungen, vielleicht auch kurzzeitigen Ausfällen kommt, die sich dann aber im Laufe der Zeit regulieren werden." Trischmann betonte, die Ausstellung des entsprechenden Zertifikats für Geimpfte inklusive eines QR-Codes zur digitalen Verwendung sei eine zusätzliche und freiwillige Leistung der Apotheken. Er rechne aber damit, dass eine Mehrheit seiner KollegInnen mitziehen werde. "Und um da sicherzugehen, würde ich empfehlen, in den nächsten Tagen diese Seite 'mein-apothekenmanager.de' aufzusuchen, wo Sie dann nach Postleitzahl die sicher teilnehmenden Apotheken finden können." Generell, befand der Apotheker, sei der Prozess, die Apotheken konkret mit ins Boot zu holen, "sehr kurzfristig" abgelaufen. "Im Prinzip wussten wir natürlich, dass die Ausstellung eines digitalen Impfausweises kommen wird. Und im Prinzip wussten wir auch, dass wir daran beteiligt werden. Aber tatsächlich die konkrete technische Umsetzung, die konnte erst sehr, sehr kurzfristig vor dem heutigen Tag auf den Weg gebracht werden. Und deswegen war es im Prinzip für uns Glück, dass wir eine gewisse digitale Struktur schon vorher geschaffen hatten, die uns die Möglichkeit gab, dieses digitale Impfzertifikat sozusagen als zusätzliche Funktion in diese bereits bestehende Struktur einzugliedern. Aber auch dafür war die Zeit sehr kurz", sagte Trischmann Reuters TV. Spahn hatte am Donnerstag angekündigt, Tests seien erfolgreich verlaufen, so dass mit dem Roll-Out begonnen werden könne. Schritt für Schritt würden nun die Impfzentren und Arztpraxen an das System angeschlossen. Ziel sei, dass bis Ende Juni der sogenannte CovPass "für alle, die wollen, zur Verfügung steht". Der Impfnachweis kann in die Corona-Warn-App integriert oder in einer eigenen App installiert werden. Bereits vollständig Geimpfte können sich die Nachweise ebenfalls von Ärzten abholen, zudem sollen sie auch postalisch mit dem erforderlichen QR-Code versorgt werden. Trischmann rechnet mittelfristig mit keinen maßgeblichen, zeitlichen Einschränkungen für Reisewillige. "Ich denke, wir werden innerhalb sehr kurzer Zeit genügend dieser digitalen Impfpässe ausstellen können, so dass alle, die wirklich jetzt in Kürze in Urlaub fahren, ein solches Zertifikat bekommen. Wer erst Mitte Juli in Urlaub fährt, hat ja auch tatsächlich noch..., hat ja auch noch Zeit, das dann in vielleicht zwei oder drei Wochen zu besorgen."

Outgoing U.N. aid chief slams G7 for failing on vaccine plan

Outgoing U.N. aid chief Mark Lowcock slammed the Group of Seven wealthy nations on Monday (June 14) for failing to come up with a plan to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, describing the G7 pledge to provide 1 billion doses over the next year as a "small step." "These sporadic, small-scale, charitable handouts from rich countries to poor countries is not a serious plan and it will not bring the pandemic to an end," Lowcock, who steps down on Friday, told Reuters. "The G7, essentially, completely failed to show the necessary urgency." The leaders of the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada met in Cornwall, England over the weekend and also agreed to work with the private sector, the Group of 20 industrialized nations and other countries to increase the vaccine contribution over months to come. "They took a small step - at that very, very nice resort in Cornwall - but they shouldn't kid themselves it's more than a small step and they have still have a lot to do," Lowcock said. "What the world needed from the G7 was a plan to vaccinate the world. And what we got was a plan to vaccinate about 10% of the population of low and middle income countries, maybe by a year from now or the second half of next year," he said. In May, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) unveiled a $50 billion proposal to end the COVID-19 pandemic by vaccinating at least 40% of the population in all countries by the end of 2021 and at least 60% by the first half of 2022. "That is the deal of the century," said Lowcock, adding that the G7 could also have done a lot more to provide vital supplies - such as oxygen ventilators, testing kits and protective equipment - to countries who are going to have to wait longer for vaccines. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday urged world leaders to act with more urgency, warning that if developing countries were not vaccinated quickly, the virus would continue to mutate and could become immune to inoculation.

Manila university holds limited in-person classes for medical students amid COVID-19 pandemic

A private university in Manila allowed limited in-person classes for some of its medical students on Monday (June 14), even as the country continues to battle one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in Asia. Graduating students from the University of Santo Tomas' College of Medicine who turned up for classes are required to be vaccinated, wear face masks and shields, submit regular temperature checks and reside in the campus dormitories in order to attend the physical lessons with their professors. The school's administration said the initiative was meant to help the students acquire practical knowledge like conducting physical examinations or surgical operations that would be difficult to teach online. The Philippine government has allowed the resumption of limited face-to-face classes for courses in the medical field in hopes of augmenting the country's struggling healthcare system brought by the pandemic. Recording 6,426 new COVID-19 cases with 57 deaths on Monday, the country's total number of infection cases stands at over 1.3 million and 22,845 deaths, making it the second-highest COVID-19 caseload in the region, next to Indonesia.
