A regulation aiming to standardize the use of facial recognition technology and protect personal data wasunveiled on Friday, as the increasingly wider application of the security-related tech sparks growing concerns over potential privacy violations in China.周五，一项规范人脸识别技术的使用和保护个人数据的新规出台，随着这种与安全相关的技术的应用范围不断扩大，引起了公众对潜在隐私侵犯行为的日益关注。The regulation jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Public Security, will come into effect on June 1. It clarifies that the use of the technology should abide by the law, and must not harm national security, public welfare and the legal interests of individuals.该条例由中国网络空间管理局和公安部联合发布，将于6月1日生效。规定明确，使用人脸识别技术应当遵守法律，不得损害国家安全、社会公共利益和个人合法权益。Facial recognition technology needs to be used when it is necessary, and should be used in a way that imposes the least intrusion on personal rights and interests, it states, adding that data collected through the technology must be strictly protected.文件指出，人脸识别技术应在必要时使用，且应遵循对个人权益侵害最小的使用方式，并补充规定，通过该技术收集的数据必须受到严格保护。Before applying the technology, one is required to inform individuals whose facial data will be collected in a clear manner and using easy-to-understand language that is "truthful, accurate and complete" concerning a variety of matters.在应用该技术前，应当以清晰易懂的方式向面部数据采集对象履行告知义务，确保告知内容真实、准确、完整，并全面涵盖相关事项。Such matters include the data collectors' names and contact information, the reason for collecting such data, how the data will be processed and how long the data will be preserved, the regulation stated.法规明确，相关事项应包括数据收集方名称及联系方式、收集事由、数据处理方式及保存期限等核心要素。Neither organizations nor individuals are allowed to verify people's identities through facial recognition technology by misleading, dishonest or coercive tactics, nor may they install facial recognition equipment in private spaces, such as hotel rooms, bathhouses, changing rooms and restrooms, it said.文件明确规定，任何组织或个人既不得采用误导、欺诈或胁迫等不正当手段通过人脸识别技术验证个人身份，亦不得在酒店客房、浴室、更衣室、卫生间等非公开场所安装人脸识别设备。The regulation also calls for the application of measures such as data encryption, security auditing, access control and intrusion detection to protect the collected facial recognition information.该法规同时要求落实数据加密、安全审计、访问控制及入侵检测等技术手段，以加强所采集人脸识别信息的防护。In addition, occasions where the information is processed for the purpose of research and development of facial recognition technology and algorithm training are not subject to the regulation.此外，出于人脸识别技术研发及算法训练目的处理信息的场景，不适用本规定。"Facial content is sensitive personal information, which, once leaked, will easily impose major harm on the safety of people and their property, and even threaten public security," the administration said. It added that the regulation has made it clear that facial recognition technology must not be the only method used when other methods of identity verification are available and sufficient for achieving the same purpose.网信办强调："面部特征属敏感个人信息，一旦泄露容易对人身和财产安全造成重大危害，甚至威胁公共安全。"文件同时明确，当其他身份验证方式足以实现相同目的时，不得将人脸识别作为唯一验证手段。People who do not agree to undergo facial recognition should be provided with alternative reasonable and convenient verification methods, the administration said. It pointed out that these stipulations target in particular the abuse of facial recognition technology during hotel check-ins and entrances to residential compounds.对于不同意使用人脸识别的个人，应当提供其他合理便捷的验证方式。相关规定特别针对酒店入住、居民小区出入等场景中滥用人脸识别技术的行为作出规范。Facial recognition technologyn.人脸识别技术Facial contentn.面部特征Undergov. 经历，经受；忍受Public securityn.公共安全Identity verificationn.身份验证
Chinese authorities issued guidelines on Friday requiring labels on all artificial intelligence-generated content circulated online, aiming to combat the misuse of AI and the spread of false information.中国政府周五发布指导方针，要求在网上传播的所有人工智能生成的内容上标注标签，旨在打击滥用人工智能和传播虚假信息的行为。The regulations, jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the National Radio and Television Administration, will take effect on Sept 1.该规定由中国网络空间管理局、工业和信息化部、公安部、国家广播电视总局联合发布，将于9月1日起施行。A spokesperson for the Cyberspace Administration said the move aims to "put an end to the misuse of AI generative technologies and the spread of false information."网络空间管理局发言人表示，此举旨在“杜绝人工智能生成技术的滥用和虚假信息的传播”。The guidelines stipulate that content generated or synthesized using AI technologies, including texts, images, audios, videos and virtual scenes, must be labeled both visibly and invisibly.该准则规定，利用人工智能技术生成或合成的内容，包括文本、图像、音频、视频和虚拟场景，都必须以显性和隐性方式进行标注。For content generated by deep synthesis technologies that might confuse or mislead the public, explicit labels must be placed in a reasonable position to ensure public awareness.对于深度合成技术生成的可能混淆或误导公众的内容，必须在合理的位置贴上明确标签，以确保公众知晓。Explicit labels are those applied within the generated content or user interface, presented in forms such as text, sound, or graphics that are clearly perceptible to users.显性标签是在生成的内容或用户界面中使用的标签，以用户可清晰感知的文字、声音或图形等形式呈现。Additionally, the guideline requires that implicit labels be added to the metadata of generated content files. These labels should include details about the content's attributes, the service provider's name or code, and content identification numbers.此外，该准则还要求在生成内容文件的元数据中添加隐含标签。这些标签应包括内容属性的详细信息、服务提供商的名称或代码以及内容识别码。Metadata files are descriptive information embedded in the file's header, recording details about the content's source, attributes and purpose.元数据文件是嵌入文件头的描述性信息，记录了有关内容来源、属性和目的的详细信息。Service providers that disseminate content online must verify that the metadata of the content files contain implicit AIGC labels, and that users have declared the content as AI-generated or synthesized. Prominent labels should also be added around the content to inform users.在线传播内容的服务提供商必须核实内容文件的元数据是否包含隐含的AIGC标签，以及用户是否已将内容声明为人工智能生成或合成的内容。还应在内容周围添加醒目的标签，以告知用户。AI generative technology has been used to create seemingly realistic content for publicity stunts or commercial gain. For instance, a news report claiming that one in every 20 individuals born in the 1980s had passed away caused a public uproar last month, only to be revealed as a rumor fabricated by AI.人工智能生成技术已被用于创建看似逼真的内容，以达到宣传噱头或商业利益的目的。例如，上个月一则新闻报道称，每20个上世纪80年代出生的人中就有一个已经去世，这引起了公众的轩然大波，后来才发现这是人工智能编造的谣言。AI generative technology has also been used to clone the voices and faces of many celebrities to produce deepfakes, which constitutes infringement and should be subject to legal accountability.人工智能生成技术还被用来克隆很多明星的声音和脸，制造深度假象，这已经构成侵权，应该受到法律的追究。Earlier this month, 14th National People's Congress deputy and Xiaomi Corp founder Lei Jun, and 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member and actor Jin Dong, both proposed establishing laws and regulations for AI-generated content during the annual sessions of the 14th NPC and 14th CPPCC National Committee.本月初，十四届全国人大代表、小米公司创始人雷军和十四届全国政协委员、演员靳东在十四届全国人大和十四届全国政协的年度会议上，均建议建立人工智能生成内容的法律法规。"Some viewers who like my movies and TV shows have been deceived by deepfake videos that clone my face, which is a very malicious act. I hope relevant rules can be established and enhanced," said Jin Dong during a panel discussion during the two sessions.“一些喜欢我影视作品的观众被克隆我脸的深度伪造视频欺骗，这是一种非常恶意的行为。我希望能够建立和完善相关的规则。"靳东在两会期间的小组讨论中说道。Tu Lingbo, a professor at the Communication University of China, told China Daily in a previous interview that the influx of unlabeled content generated by AI could disrupt the internet ecosystem and pose challenges to internet governance.中国传媒大学教授涂凌波此前在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，人工智能产生的大量无标签内容的涌入，可能会扰乱互联网生态，给互联网治理带来挑战。"Relevant laws and regulations on AI-generated content should be established and improved," Tu said.涂凌波说："应建立健全人工智能生成内容的相关法律法规。”combatvt.与…战斗；反对vi.战斗；搏斗n.战斗；争论guidelinen. 指导方针,准则generativeadj.能生产的,有生产力的maliciousadj.恶意的,恶毒的
A group of 200 Chinese citizens suspected of involvement in telecom fraud arrived on Thursday in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, escorted by Chinese police, after being repatriated from Myanmar.2月20日，一批200名涉嫌参与电信诈骗的中国籍犯罪嫌疑人在中国警方押解下，从缅甸被遣返回国，抵达江苏省南京市。The suspects were first sent to Thailand's Mae Sot, which borders Myanmar's Myawaddy, before being flown back to China on four chartered flights. The first chartered flight arrived at Nanjing Lukou International Airport in the afternoon.该批嫌疑人先被移送至与缅甸妙瓦底接壤的泰国湄索，随后分乘四架包机回国。2月20日下午,首架包机抵达南京禄口国际机场。The repatriation marks a significant achievement in law enforcement cooperation among China, Myanmar and Thailand to tackle telecom fraud, the Ministry of Public Security said.公安部表示，此次遣返行动是中缅泰三国开展执法合作打击电信网络诈骗取得的标志性重大战果。The move came as the three countries stepped up efforts to crack down on a series of transnational crimes, including telecom and cyberspace fraud, engineered in the scam compounds of Myawaddy.此次行动正值三国加大力度打击电信诈骗、网络诈骗等一系列跨国犯罪之际，这些犯罪活动主要在妙瓦底的诈骗园区内策划实施。Calling the repatriation "major progress in close coordination among the three countries", the ministry said its working groups visited Thailand and Myanmar in January to hold multiple rounds of discussions with the two countries' law enforcement departments and they reached a consensus to establish a joint mechanism targeting telecom fraud and human trafficking.公安部称此次遣返行动是“三国紧密合作取得的重大进展”，并表示今年1月公安部派出工作组赴泰国、缅甸，与两国执法部门进行多轮次会谈，就建立联合打击犯罪机制，共同打击电信网络诈骗、人口贩运等跨国犯罪达成共识。Thailand cut off electricity, internet and fuel supplies to Myawaddy and strengthened patrols to prevent illegal border crossings by individuals involved in fraud. Myanmar deployed forces to raid telecom fraud dens in Myawaddy, arrested suspects and rescued Chinese nationals trapped in scam operations. The joint effort led to a large number of suspects being captured in Myawaddy, the ministry said.泰国对妙瓦底地区采取断电、断网、断油等措施，在泰缅边境加强巡查管控，坚决阻断涉诈人员偷渡、转移通道。缅甸部署对妙瓦底地区电诈园区开展集中清查，缉捕涉诈犯罪嫌疑人，解救被困中国公民。公安部表示，经三方密切协作、共同努力，大批涉诈犯罪嫌疑人在缅甸妙瓦底地区落网。The 200 suspects repatriated on Thursday were escorted by Jiangsu police, who are expected to bring more than 800 other suspects back to China.2月20日，被遣返的200名嫌疑人由江苏警方押解回国，预计还将有800余名中国籍涉诈犯罪嫌疑人被陆续押解回国。Ding Jie, a police officer and a member of an anti-fraud team of the Jiangsu Public Security Department, said the police will conduct thorough investigation of the cases that the suspects were involved in.江苏省公安厅反诈骗和新型犯罪总队案件侦查支队支队长丁杰表示，警方将对嫌疑人所涉案件展开深入调查。The ministry said telecom fraud and other transnational crimes have become a global challenge and require strengthened international law enforcement cooperation, adding that China, Myanmar and Thailand would carry out joint operations to combat such crimes on a regular basis.公安部表示，电信网络诈骗等跨国犯罪已成为全球打击治理难题，必须加大国际执法合作力度。中缅泰三方针对此类犯罪将常态化开展联合打击。The Chinese police will deepen cooperation with more countries and do their best to rescue individuals trapped in scam operations, hunt down financial supporters and key members of criminal gangs, and eliminate crime dens, it said.公安部还表示，中国警方将与更多国家深化合作，全力解救被困人员，全力缉捕“金主”、骨干，坚决清剿电诈园区。Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a daily news briefing on Thursday that fighting online gambling and scams is a must in order to safeguard the common interests of countries in the region, and is a shared aspiration of people of all countries.2月20日，外交部发言人郭嘉昆在例行新闻发布会上表示，坚决打击网赌电诈犯罪，是维护地区国家共同利益的必然选择，符合各国人民共同期待。China is working closely with countries including Thailand and Myanmar to "address both symptoms and the root cause" of such crimes, Guo added.郭嘉昆补充说，中国正同泰国、缅甸等国家密切合作，标本兼治，合力解决此类犯罪问题。repatriaten.将…遣返回国
China's top prosecutors have ramped up efforts to combat corruption at the grassroots level, particularly in healthcare, education and employment, as these areas directly impact people's daily lives, officials from the Supreme People's Procuratorate said.中国最高人民检察院官员表示，中国最高检察机关已加大打击基层腐败的力度，特别是在医疗、教育和就业领域，因为这些领域直接关系到人民群众的日常生活。More than 3,000 people were prosecuted in 2024 for dereliction of duty in these sectors, a 1.6-fold increase from the previous year, according to statistics released on Tuesday by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.2月18日，最高人民检察院发布的统计数据显示，2024年全国检察机关起诉医疗、教育、就业等领域职务犯罪3000余人，同比上升1.6倍。Procuratorial authorities have focused on tackling corruption linked to people's livelihoods and rural revitalization, said Zhang Xiaojin, head of the procuratorate's division on duty-related crimes.中国最高人民检察院职务犯罪检察厅厅长张晓津表示，检察机关集中整治民生领域和乡村振兴领域的腐败问题。To address public concerns over corruption in the healthcare sector, which has made medical treatment more difficult and expensive, prosecutors have targeted offenses such as taking kickbacks and embezzling health insurance funds. As a result, more than 1,800 individuals in the healthcare industry were prosecuted for duty-related crimes, Zhang said.张晓津表示，针对公众对医疗领域腐败问题的关切，特别是医疗腐败导致看病难、看病贵的问题，检察机关重点打击“靠医吃医”、套取医保资金等腐败犯罪，起诉医疗领域职务犯罪1800余人。In March 2024, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Public Security issued a guideline on handling health insurance fraud cases to step up enforcement against such offenses, which have been on the rise.2024年3月，最高人民检察院、最高人民法院、公安部联合发布《关于办理医保骗保刑事案件若干问题的指导意见》（以下简称“《指导意见》”），以加大对日益猖獗的医保骗保犯罪的打击力度。The guideline states that conspirators involved in fraud schemes carried out by medical institutions, such as fabricating medical services and falsifying medical bills, will be prosecuted.《指导意见》规定，定点医药机构虚构医药服务项目、虚开医疗服务费用的，对组织、策划、实施人员提起公诉。Individuals who illegally receive health insurance refunds through fraudulent means, including by using others' medical insurance certificates, will also face punishment.行为人使用他人医疗保障凭证等欺诈手段非法获取医保退款的，依法处罚。Meanwhile, more than 1,200 people from township and village organizations were prosecuted for duty-related crimes last year, marking a 48.5 percent year-on-year increase.2024年，起诉乡镇、村组织人员职务犯罪1200余人，同比上升48.5%。"Punishing corruption crimes that affect the public is also a way of protecting people's livelihoods," Zhang said.张晓津表示：“惩治影响群众利益的腐败犯罪也是保护民生。”To further safeguard public interests, procuratorial authorities nationwide handled more than 92,000 public interest litigation cases from January to November last year in areas such as food and drug safety, the rights of vulnerable groups, and the security of citizens' personal information, according to Xu Xiangchun, director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Public Interest Litigation Procuratorate Office.最高人民检察院公益诉讼检察厅厅长徐向春介绍，为进一步保障公共利益，2024年1月至11月，全国检察机关共立案办理食品药品安全、特定群体权益保障、公民个人信息安全等民生领域公益诉讼案件9.2万余件。"Public interest is the interest of the people. The procuratorial public interest litigation system is closely tied to daily life," Xu said in an interview on Wednesday.2月19日，徐向春在采访中表示：“公共利益就是人民的利益，检察公益诉讼制度与人民群众日常生活密切相关。”"In 2024, prosecutors focused on public concerns, actively responded to livelihood issues, and handled cases in a precise and law-abiding manner."“2024年，检察机关紧盯民群众的操心事、烦心事、揪心事，积极回应民生关切，依法精准规范开展办案工作。”In one case, the Qinghai Provincial People's Procuratorate filed administrative public interest litigation against more than 60 express delivery companies for failing to legally contribute to work injury insurance for couriers, strengthening labor protections.在一个案例中，青海省人民检察院针对全省60余家快递企业存在未依法为快递员缴纳工伤保险的情况办理行政公益诉讼案件，加强对劳动者权益的法治保障。In another case, the procuratorial office in Tianfu New Area in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, urged administrative bodies to revise village autonomy regulations in eight villages that violated women's rights.在另一个案例中，四川省省会成都市的天府新区人民检察院督促行政机关推动8个行政村修订村民自治章程侵害妇女权益的内容。kickbackn.（不合法的）回扣，酬金embezzlen.贪污；挪用（钱款）couriern.信使，递送员

China will work together with the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to combat online gambling and telecom fraud, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday, during a meeting in Beijing with diplomatic envoys from the 10 ASEAN countries.A series of severe cases of online gambling and telecom fraud at the Myanmar-Thailand border have posed threats to and harmed the interests of citizens from China and other countries, which requires high attention, Wang said.He called on relevant countries to shoulder responsibility and adopt effective measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, and never allow criminals to go unpunished.China is willing to strengthen bilateral and multilateral law enforcement and security cooperation with ASEAN nations to provide a safe environment for people-to-people exchanges and maintain the sound order of regional interactions and cooperation, he added.Earlier, in a statement issued on Wednesday night, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security said it is making all-out efforts to rescue Chinese citizens who went missing or were trapped after being deceived into traveling abroad.It pledged to strengthen international law enforcement cooperation to dismantle telecom fraud networks, particularly in Myawaddy, Myanmar.The ministry said it attaches great importance to the frequent occurrence of such cases recently and to the calls for help posted on social media and other channels by family members of the victims.The statement said the ministry has asked police across the country to comprehensively analyze and investigate the cases, and it is working to rescue the victims with the assistance of foreign affairs departments and Chinese embassies and consulates overseas.In July 2023, the ministry launched a special campaign during which the Chinese police and Myanmar's law enforcement departments worked together to crack down on telecom fraud dens in northern Myanmar that target Chinese nationals.The campaign led to the capture of more than 53,000 Chinese citizens suspected of being involved in various scams and wiped out all major telecom fraud dens located near China's border with northern Myanmar. It also forced a large number of criminals to relocate to other regions in Myanmar such as Myawaddy, Wan Hai and Tangyan.Some fraud dens are facing a "shortage of labor" due to the stringent crackdowns and mass awareness efforts, the ministry said, adding that these dens have started luring Chinese citizens with the promise of "free travel abroad" and "high-paying jobs".Those who fall for these false promises are abducted or held captive and forced to participate in illegal activities, it said.The ministry warned Chinese citizens of such fraudulent schemes and advised them to remain extra vigilant when receiving offers for high-paying jobs or business exchanges overseas and free visits for tourism.It also advised the public to immediately call the police and contact China's diplomatic missions if a family member goes missing overseas, saying the police will act without delay upon receiving such a report.The ministry's statement came amid public discussions on a recent human trafficking incident involving Chinese actor Wang Xing. He was rescued by Thai police on Jan 7 and returned to China on Jan 11, according to reports.
Relevant departments are ramping up efforts to meet the surging travel demand during the upcoming Spring Festival period, aiming to enhance transportation capacity and improve services, officials said at a news conference on Wednesday.1月8日，相关官员在新闻发布会上表示，有关部门正在加大力度，以满足即将到来的春节期间激增的出行需求，提升运输能力并改善春运服务。During the 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, 14,000 trains will operate daily, increasing passenger capacity by 4 percent. An average of 18,500 flights per day will be scheduled, representing an 8.4 percent increase, said Li Chunlin, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission.国家发展改革委副主任李春临介绍，在为期40天的春运期间，每日安排旅客列车1.4万列，客座能力同比增长4%。同时，全国日均航班计划1.85万班，同比增长8.4%。"With Spring Festival arriving earlier this year and featuring an extended eight-day holiday, various groups, including students, migrant workers and tourists, will travel simultaneously, putting the transportation system under intense pressure in a short period," Li noted.“今年春节来得早，假期延长至八天，学生、务工、旅游等客流将同时出行，这将使交通系统在短期内承受巨大压力。”李春临指出。The Spring Festival travel rush—during which 9 billion passenger trips are expected to be made across the country—will begin on Tuesday.今年春运将于1月14日开始，预计全国人员流动将达到90亿人次。In terms of rail travel, passenger trips are projected to exceed 510 million, with a daily average of 12.75 million trips, marking a 5.5 percent year-on-year increase, according to Zhu Wenzhong, head of the passenger department at the China State Railway Group, the national railway operator.中国国家铁路集团有限公司（国家铁路运营商）客运部负责人朱文忠表示，全国铁路发送旅客有望突破5.1亿人次，日均1275万人次，同比增长5.5%。New rail lines have been added to routes with high passenger volumes, including those connecting major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Notably, the newly built Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou high-speed railway and the Jining-Datong-Yuanping high-speed railway will help accommodate the increased demand during the festival, Zhu said.朱文忠介绍，部分客流集中线路已新增高铁通道，包括连接北京、上海等大城市的线路。值得一提的是，新开通的沪苏湖、集大原高铁线路将有助于满足节日期间增加的出行需求。To further support capacity, 185 new Fuxing high-speed train units, capable of traveling 350 kilometers per hour, have been put into service, he said.他说，为进一步增强运力，185组新造的时速350公里复兴号动车组已投入使用。In areas with concentrated passenger flows before the festival, 1,724 pairs of long-distance trains will be scheduled, an increase of 64 pairs. During peak periods, 329 pairs of long-distance trains will operate at night, representing a 38-pair increase, according to Zhu.朱文忠表示，节前在客流集中地区每日安排开行长途列车1724对、同比增加64对。客流高峰期安排开行夜间长途列车329对、同比增加38对。Xu Qing, director of the transport department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said that the administration has made comprehensive arrangements to accommodate a record 90 million passenger trips by air during Spring Festival.中国民航局运输司司长徐青表示，预计春运航空旅客运输量将达到9000万人次，创同期历史新高，对此民航局已作出全面安排。"Flight safety remains a top priority. In 2024, the total number of transport flights has risen by 12.3 percent compared to 2019, while the rate of accidents and delays caused by transportation aviation per 10,000 hours has decreased by 74.6 percent," Xu said.“飞行安全仍是重中之重。2024年，运输航班总数较2019年增长12.3%，而运输航空责任原因征候万时率下降74.6%。”徐青说。Self-driving is expected to be the dominant mode of travel, with an estimated 7.2 billion trips forecast, accounting for 80 percent of total nationwide travel, according toLi.李春临指出，自驾将成为主要的出行方式，预计达到72亿人次，占全国出行总人次的80%。Wang Qiang, director of the traffic management bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, pointed out that targeted measures are in place to address potential hazards on the roads and ensure safe travel. Authorities will also release timely traffic updates to keep the public informed during the travel rush.公安部交通管理局局长王强透露，为消除道路安全隐患、确保出行安全，公安部已部署针对性措施。春运期间，相关部门还将及时发布最新交通信息，让公众随时了解路况。The widespread availability of charging stations—covering 97 percent of highway service areas across the country—will support the increasing use of electric vehicles during the travel rush, according to Gao Bo, head of the Ministry of Transport's transport services department.交通运输部运输服务司负责人高博表示，充电站已广泛普及，覆盖了全国97%的高速公路服务区，将为春运期间电动汽车使用量的增加提供有力保障。Spring Festival will coincide with frequent cold air events, though they are expected to be of low intensity. Two cold fronts are forecast to occur before the holiday, from Jan 14 to 16 and Jan 24 to 27, bringing low temperatures to most regions, said Wang Yawei, head of the emergency disaster reduction and public service division at the China Meteorological Administration.中国气象局应急减灾与公共服务司司长王亚伟表示，春节期间冷空气活动频繁，但强度总体偏弱。预计节前将有两股冷空气，分别出现在1月14日至16日和1月24日至27日，届时大部分地区气温将下降。Wang advised local authorities to strengthen efforts in preventing and mitigating the effects of snowfall, icing and low visibility on roads caused by cold weather.王亚伟建议各地有关部门加强防范和减轻因寒冷天气导致的降雪、结冰、低能见度对道路交通的影响。projectv.预计，推算

The Ministry of Public Security announced on Thursday that all major telecom fraud operations in northern Myanmar near China's border have been eradicated.In a news release, the ministry said that law enforcement cooperation and joint actions between China and Myanmar have led to the arrest of over 53,000 Chinese suspects involved in related crimes, since a special operation to combat telecom fraud involving Chinese nationals in northern Myanmar was launched last year.The ministry also disclosed details of a recent joint law enforcement operation in which 1,079 suspects involved in cross-border telecom fraud were apprehended in Tangyang, Myanmar, on Sunday.Among them, 763 were Chinese nationals, all of whom have been handed over to Chinese authorities, it said. Sixty-nine of the 763 Chinese apprehended had been designated fugitives.The news release noted that, deterred by the recent crackdown, fraudsters had been relocating to areas such as Wan Hai, Tangyang, and Myawaddy in Myanmar.These fraudsters continued to recruit and lure Chinese citizens to illegally cross the border and participate in telecom fraud activities, leading to severe violent crimes such as illegal detention, intentional injury, kidnapping and even murder, posing significant threats to the safety of Chinese citizens, it said.In response, the Ministry of Public Security directed police officers in Yunnan province to collaborate with relevant law enforcement departments in Myanmar to carry out a crackdown operation.In addition, a large number of tools used in the crimes, including computers, mobile phones and fraud scripts, were also confiscated, according to the ministry.The news release described the joint action as another "major breakthrough" in the ongoing operation against telecom fraud crimes involving Chinese citizens in northern Myanmar.A ministry official was quoted in the release as saying that public security authorities will continue to maintain a "high-pressure crackdown" on cross-border telecom fraud crimes, especially those in "dens or clusters" such as Wan Hai, Tangyang and Myawaddy along Myanmar's border with China.The official pledged to intensify efforts to strengthen law enforcement cooperation to resolutely eliminate the "cancer" of telecom and cyber fraud crimes involving Chinese nationals.At the same time, public security authorities are urging the public not to easily trust "high-paying job offers" from overseas to avoid falling into criminal traps, and to effectively safeguard their own legal rights, according to the official.

Chongqing police have cracked a major cross-border online gambling ring after more than three years of hard work, blocking the group's average annual outflow of nearly 10 billion yuan ($1.41 billion), according to the Ministry of Public Security.据公安部消息，重庆警方历经三年多的艰苦努力，破获一起特大跨境网络赌博案，阻断年均外流资金近百亿元（约14.1亿美元）。The police destroyed the Dream Captain Group, one of the top 10 criminal groups involved in cross-border gambling in China, authorities were quoted as saying in a report published on Saturday in China Police Daily, the ministry's official newspaper.10月12日，公安部官方报纸《中国警察报》发表的一篇报道援引官方消息，警方彻底摧毁跨境赌博全国“十大犯罪集团”之一的“DC”集团。The key suspect, surnamed Lyu, had returned to Chongqing from overseas and turned himself in, authorities said, adding that all 79 major figures involved in the case and more than 3,900 criminals who also were involved were punished in accordance with the law.当局称，主要犯罪嫌疑人吕某从境外到重庆投案自首，79名主要涉案人员全部到案，3900余名上下游违法犯罪人员被依法打击处理。China has stepped up efforts in recent years to crack down on transnational crimes, in order to prevent financial risks and safeguard economic security. In August, the ministry announced plans to strengthen collaboration with law enforcement departments in other countries to crack down on transnational crimes targeting Chinese citizens.近年来，中国加大了打击跨国犯罪的力度，以防范金融风险，维护经济安全。今年8月，公安部宣布计划加强与其他国家执法部门的合作，以打击针对中国公民的跨国犯罪。The ministry will deal harsher blows to online gambling, telecommunications fraud, overseas kidnapping and homicide and other organized crime by intensifying cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies in joint investigations, the exchange of evidence and the capture and repatriation of suspects, said Qi Yanjun, vice-minister of public security.公安部副部长亓延军表示，针对网络赌博、电信网络诈骗、发生在境外的涉我绑架、杀人、涉黑涉恶等恶性犯罪，公安部将与有关国家执法部门加强案件协查、证据交换、缉捕遣返犯罪嫌疑人等务实合作。In 2020, the ministry discovered a clue about a cross-border online gambling platform and asked the Chongqing Public Security Bureau for further verification. Chongqing set up a special task force and designated the Nan'an district sub-bureau as the main unit to conduct further investigation.2020年，公安部发现一条关于跨境网络赌博平台的线索，交由重庆市公安局进一步核查。重庆市公安局成立专案组，指定南岸区分局作为主侦单位，进一步展开侦办。The task force found out that the multinational gambling platform belongs to the Dream Captain Group in the Philippines. The group is mainly engaged in online gambling in areas including chess, poker and slot machines, and since it was established in 2009, it has developed rapidly and is well known locally and in Southeast Asia, according to authorities.专案组查明，该跨国赌博平台隶属于菲律宾“DC”集团，主营棋牌、老虎机等网络赌博业务，自2009年创办以来，发展势头迅猛，在当地乃至东南亚地区都颇有名气。The group attracted a large number of Chinese gamblers through online advertising and domestic agents in China, resulting in a large amount of capital outflow from China, the authorities said. This fostered cross-border money laundering and other illegal industries, seriously affecting the country's social stability and economic security, they added.当局表示，该集团通过向中国境内投放广告、发展代理人员返佣金等方式吸引人员参赌，造成中国大量资金外流，更滋生“地下钱庄”跨境洗钱等黑灰产业链，严重影响社会稳定和经济安全。Since all the resource servers and data of the gambling platform were based overseas, Chongqing police decided to focus on the domestic agents and had successfully collected information about them by the end of 2020.由于赌博平台的资源服务器、数据等全部在境外，重庆警方决定将境内代理人作为案件的突破口。2020年年底，专案组顺利掌握部分境内代理人员相关信息。"We carefully analyzed every piece of information and gradually formed a clear mind map to guide our investigation," said Yang Changcheng, deputy director of the Nan'an district sub-bureau.南岸区分局副局长杨长城说：“在线索不断地碰撞中，一幅清晰的思维导图逐渐形成，为后期打击工作打下了坚实的基础。”The task force found that the group uses its seven online gambling platforms to attract gamblers to register as members. The funds of the gamblers on the platform are finally transferred to the group's overseas account through illegal banks, and the group has an average annual income from China outflow of more than 10 billion yuan and net profit of more than 400 million yuan, according to the task force.专案组进一步查明，该集团利用旗下经营的7个网络赌博平台，吸引赌客注册成为会员，赌客在平台上充值的赌资最终经由“地下钱庄”洗钱转移至境外流入集团账户。由此，“DC”集团年均充值流水达100亿元以上、净利润4亿元以上。Since 2021, under the command of the Ministry of Public Security, the task force has arrested more than 70 key individuals and over 3,700 agents involved in the case, destroyed about 4,300 domestic gambling sites and frozen about 11,000 accounts with a total of more than 300 million yuan. It also has cracked down on seven enterprises involved in gambling and other illegal businesses and 13 illegal payment platforms.自2021年起，在公安部指挥下，专案组共抓获此案核心涉案人员70余名、代理人员3700余名，摧毁境内招赌吸赌点位4300余处，冻结涉案账户1.1万余个、涉案资金超3亿元，打掉涉赌黑灰产企业7家、非法支付平台13个。Lyu, the ringleader and key suspect who had fled abroad, was listed as one of the country's top 10 fugitives involved in cross-border gambling, and Interpol had issued a Red Notice for him.该集团头目、主要犯罪嫌疑人吕某藏匿在境外，被列为跨境赌博全国“十大涉案逃犯”，国际刑警组织已发布红色通缉令。Due to the pressure and persuasive efforts by the police, Lyu flew to Chongqing, took the initiative to report the crime, returned the illegal gains and helped the police shut down all seven online gambling platforms.在警方的追逃劝投下，吕某主动从境外乘机到重庆投案自首，交代犯罪事实，积极退赃，配合警方全部关停“DC”集团旗下7个网络赌博平台。ringn. 团伙，帮派online gambling网络赌博telecommunications fraud电信诈骗repatriationn. 遣送回国
A month ago Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor, Gary van Niekerk made a public pledge here on SAfm's Sunday Morning Discussion to put in place measures that would significantly reduce criminality. Speaking to the The Weekend View Van Niekerk said by TODAY - the 6th of October - he would have report back on what had been done to effectively combat crime. This came at theh back of a Mexican Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice report which published its annual ranking of the 50 most violent cities in the world. The report ranked Nelson Mandela Bay (Gqeberha) as the most dangerous city in South Africa, leaping past Cape Town and Durban. The quarterly SAPS crime statistics released last month by National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola revealed that Mthatha and Gqeberha had also been identified as problem areas for extortion-related rackets. Last week's gruesome Lusikisiki murders also confirmed the Eastern Cape as the country's murder capital. Speaking with my colleague Udo Carelse, Mayor Gary Van Nieklerk, Pamela Mabini, a community activist based in Gqeberha and Prof Kholofelo Rakubu, Safety and Security Management Head of Department at the Tshwane University of Technology all agreed that a collective effort was needed to comabt crime. Here is what they said last month when they spoke with Udo
The fire that led to 39 deaths and nine injuries at a complex building in Jialeyuan community in Xinyu, Jiangxi province, on Jan 24 was caused by illegal construction of a cold storage facility in its basement, according to an investigation report released on Saturday.根据9月21日公布的一份调查报告，江西省新余市佳乐苑小区的一栋综合楼于1月24日发生火灾，造成39人死亡、9人受伤，起火原因是该楼地下一层违规建设冷库。Polyurethane foam sealant was used during construction at the first floor underground, releasing flammable gases that accumulated to reach combustible conditions. While laying plastic film on extruded polystyrene boards, static electricity was generated, igniting the gases, the foam and other flammable materials. It created a large amount of toxic smoke, according to the report approved by an executive meeting of the State Council.国务院常务会议审议通过的调查报告显示，地下一层施工作业中使用聚氨酯泡沫填缝剂时，释放易燃气体局部积聚达到可燃条件；在挤塑板上铺设塑料薄膜时，产生静电放电点燃积聚的易燃气体，迅即引燃聚氨酯泡沫、挤塑板等易燃可燃材料，产生大量有毒烟气。The smoke quickly spread to the second floor as the fire separation in the shared evacuation staircase between the basement and the ground floor was missing. On the second floor, students and teachers were having classes organized by a training institute. Because of the security nets and advertising boards outside the classrooms, they failed to escape on time, resulting in an increase in casualties.因地下一层与一层共用的疏散楼梯防火分隔缺失，烟气快速蔓延至二层。在二楼，师生们正在上培训机构组织的课程。由于教室外安装了防盗网和广告牌，他们无法及时逃生，造成人员伤亡扩大。The accident, which happened in the afternoon of Jan 24 caused a direct economic loss of more than 43.52 million yuan ($6.17 million).事故发生在1月24日下午，造成直接经济损失4352万余元（约617万美元）。An investigation team was established by the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Public Security, the National Fire and Rescue Administration, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and the Jiangxi Provincial People's Government afterwards.事后，应急管理部、公安部、国家消防救援局、全国总工会和江西省人民政府成立了事故调查组。The team found that the owner of the building illegally rented the basement floor, where construction of the cold storage facility was illegal. The building had significant deficiencies in fire prevention. The educational training institute and a hotel were operating in violation of regulations. The relevant local authorities failed to carry out supervision.调查组查明，涉事房主违法违规出租综合楼地下一层，冷库建设施工单位违规建设冷库。涉事建筑存在防火分隔重大缺陷，教育培训机构和宾馆违规经营，属地有关部门监管缺位。In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the team suggested enhancing safety management of cold storages by regulating planning, site selection and on-site construction. It also asked for strengthened management of major places where multiple businesses operate.在接受新华社采访时，调查组建议通过规范规划、选址和现场施工建设来加强冷库安全管理。此外，调查组还要求强化多业态混合经营等重点场所安全管理。Efforts should be made to promote installation of "one-click alarm" devices in crowded areas and near evacuation routes, enabling a single press to trigger building-wide alarms and prompt responses from all occupants, it said.调查组建议，要大力推广在人员集中区域、疏散通道附近安装“一键报警”装置，实现一键按下，全楼报警、全员响应。It also addresses issues such as congested safety evacuation routes, poorly maintained fire safety facilities, inadequate safety exits, and potential hazards such as unauthorized security nets and advertisement boards.调查组还强调，要有效解决安全疏散通道不畅、消防设施未保持完好有效、安全出口不足、违规设置防盗网和广告牌等问题隐患。cold storage facility冷库，冷藏设施combustibleadj.可燃的evacuation route疏散通道potential hazard隐患，潜在的风险

After a doctor in East China was stabbed to death at work on Friday, China's top health authority said on Saturday that it has joined public security efforts to strengthen a crackdown on medical-related crimes and has urged hospitals to implement security measures.7月19日，一名男子在温州医科大学附属第一医院伤害一名医生；国家卫健委于7月20日表示，已加入公安工作，将加强对于伤害医护人员的打击，并敦促医院实施安全措施。Li Sheng, a cardiologist at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, was attacked by a knife-wielding man around noon Friday when seeing patients and died that evening due to critical injuries.温州医科大学附属第一医院心血管内科李晟医生于7月19日中午在看望病人时遭到一名持刀男子的袭击，当晚因伤势严重，抢救无效后死亡。The man who carried out the attack jumped off the building, the hospital and police said. Police said late on Friday that the attacker was receiving treatment but have not provided any subsequent updates on his condition.医院表示，持刀男子已跳楼自杀。7月19日，警方表示，该男子正在接受治疗，但并未提供后续情况跟进。The National Health Commission expressed deep condolences for Li's death and extended its sympathies to his family in a statement released on Saturday night.The commission said it strongly condemns violence against medical personnel and pledges a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of harm to them.It stressed that attacking medical personnel is a serious criminal act.国家卫健委对李晟的去世表示深切哀悼，并在7月20日晚上发布的声明中向李晟医生的家属表示关心和安慰。卫健委强调，暴力伤害医务人员，是严重的违法犯罪行为，必须受到最强烈的谴责，最严厉的打击。"The commission has worked with the Ministry of Public Security to guide localities to improve hospital security and severely crack down on medical-related crimes to protect the safety of patients and medical staff," it said.卫健委将联同公安等部门，严厉打击涉医违法犯罪行为，切实保护患者和医务人员安全。The commission added that hospitals should strengthen security systems, fully implement security measures and deepen collaboration with police.加强平安医院建设，完善医院安全防范系统，切实落实安检措施，强化警医联动。The Chinese Medical Doctor Association said on Saturday afternoon that it was deeply shocked and saddened by the incident.7月20日下午，中华医师协会表示，对此事件深感震惊和悲痛。The association reiterated its unwavering commitment to defending the dignity of healthcare workers and condemning violence against them.中华医师协会重申：坚决反对任何形式的暴力伤医行为。坚定不移地捍卫医务人员尊严。It urged authorities to take effective measures to ensure the safety of medical personnel and called on the whole of society to work together to create a harmonious and orderly healthcare environment.强烈呼吁有关单位采取有力措施保障医务人员生命安全。强烈呼吁社会各界齐心协力营造和谐有序的良好医疗环境。The association added that it has initiated a physician rights protection and assistance program and provided support to Li's family.目前中华医师协会已积极启动医师维权救助程序，对李晟医师家属提供援助。The incident has drawn a wave of condolences and condemnation from the public and authorities.

Hector And Mike Experience - Common Sense In An Uncommon World
Releasing criminals makes our communities less safe. In this discussion, Hector and Mike discuss California's Proposition 36, a measure to revisit and amend the deeply controversial Proposition 47. They delve into the alarming rise in crime rates, spotlighting a heart-wrenching incident in Orange County where a couple was brutally attacked and the wife murdered by a repeat offender. This tragedy underscores a critical question: What is the right balance between penalties and rehabilitation in our criminal justice system? The current policy of reducing inmate numbers and closing prisons is scrutinized. Are our politicians sacrificing public safety on the altar of lower prison populations? Hector and Mike highlight the dire financial implications and the devastating impact on small businesses, already reeling from rampant retail theft and violent crime. Hector and Mike also discuss a particularly infuriating case where the Sacramento City Attorney advised Target to stop reporting thefts or face nuisance fines. This outrageous stance exemplifies how policies fail those they are supposed to protect. Hector and Mike's urgent message is clear: Californians must wake up to the real-world effects of these flawed public safety policies. It's time to demand action and prioritize safety over misguided political agendas. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hectorandmikeexperience/support
Valerie Vu, Founding Partner of Ansible Ventures, and Jeremy Au discussed three main themes: 1. New President Tô Lâm: Jeremy and Valerie discussed the recent stabilization efforts by the Vietnamese government amidst political and economic turbulence, with the election of the new president, Tô Lâm, who previously served as the Minister of Public Security. The filling of this and other vacant leadership positions signifies a commitment to anti-corruption measures. They also discussed the government lending an additional $1.2 billion to Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB) in the past two months, summing up to a total $24.5 billion bailout (equivalent to 6% of Vietnam's GDP, and primarily financed by increasing money supply). 2. South China Sea Island Building (692 Acres): Jeremy and Valerie discussed the country's dredging and landfill work in the South China Sea, creating almost as much new land as in the previous two years combined. They also covered significant initiatives like the high-speed railway from Hanoi to Kunming, China, and the implications of the controversial Funan canal project in Cambodia. She explained that these projects are part of Vietnam's broader strategy to enhance its regional influence and secure its economic future. 3. Coal Energy & Flight Price Jumps: State-owned EVN (Vietnam Electricity) has urged consumers and factories, including Foxconn, to reduce power consumption by 30% to avoid power cuts. Despite efforts to improve North-South hydropower linkage, Vietnam's infrastructure delays and the continued manufacturing-centric industrial plan have led to sharply increased reliance on imported and carbon-emitting coal. They also explained the reasons behind the 25% year-on-year increase in domestic flight prices, which has made direct flights within Vietnam more expensive than international layovers. They compared the budget carrier VietJet, known for its cost-effective international flights but frequent domestic delays, with the more reliable state-owned Vietnam Airlines. Jeremy and Valerie also talked about the influence of political changes on investor confidence, the effects of rising fuel costs on domestic travel & logistics, and the tension between maintaining cultural heritage and embracing economic modernization.

Multiple ministries in China are ramping up efforts to ensure the safety and fairness of the national college entrance examinations, or gaokao, which will kick off on Friday.中国多部门全力确保将于周五开始的全国高考的安全和公平。Data from the Ministry of Education shows that 13.42 million students have registered for this year's gaokao, an increase of 510,000 compared with last year. Local education authorities have been urged to strictly regulate management to ensure that the exams are conducted safely.教育部的数据显示，今年共有1342万学生报名参加高考，比去年增加51万人。地方教育部门已被敦促严格规范考试管理，全力确保安全平稳。The gaokao is one of the most important exams for Chinese students and is widely viewed as a key factor in determining a student's future prospects.高考是中国学生最重要的考试之一，被普遍视为决定学生发展前景的关键因素。Supervision should be strengthened over the entire exam process including question setting, printing and transportation of the exam papers and grading, the ministry said, adding that higher education institutions should ensure fairness and transparency during admission as well.教育部表示，应加强对考试全流程监管，包括命题、试卷印刷、运送、评卷，并补充，各高校也应确保考试招生过程的公正性和透明度。Meteorological, earthquake and other relevant departments have been asked to release timely information about any natural disasters before and after the exams, guiding local authorities to enhance their response in the event of exam-related emergencies.气象、地震和其他相关部门被要求在考试前后及时发布有关自然灾害的信息，指导各地提升涉考突发事件应急处置能力。The Education Ministry emphasized the importance of combating exam fraud to ensure justice. Special measures will be launched, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security, to crack down on the sale of cheating devices and to eliminate proxy test-takers, it said.教育部强调了打击考试舞弊以确保公正的重要性。教育部表示，将会同公安部合作开展专项行动，打击销售作弊器材、打击替考作弊等行为。Security check protocols for candidates entering exam venues should be strictly enforced, while testing centers should be fully equipped with intelligent security gates, and wireless signals should be effectively blocked in exam halls, the Education Ministry said.教育部表示，应严格执行考生进入考点（考场）安全检查工作规范，同时考点应实现智能安检门全配备，并应有效屏蔽考点考场无线电信号。Smart monitoring and inspection of exam venues will be tightened to prevent high-tech cheating, it added.它补充到，将加推进考场智能巡查，以防止高科技作弊。Many higher education institutions also issued notices recently to strengthen student management and prevent proxies or other forms of exam assistance.多所高校最近也发文要求加强学生管理，严防替考、助考等。Yantai University in Shandong province said in a circular late last month that it will resolutely prevent its students from acting as proxies in gaokao.山东省烟台大学上月底在一份通知中表示，将坚决杜绝高校学生在高考中替考。It is essential for students to understand the severe consequences of getting involved in cheating, and they should be educated to refuse any form of fraud, whether online or offline, the university said.该大学表示，学生了解参与作弊的严重后果至关重要，他们应该接受教育，拒绝任何形式的作弊，无论是线上还是线下。As this year's gaokao overlaps with the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which starts on Saturday, some university students will not be present on campus, posing threats to student management and increasing the possibilities of cheating.由于今年的高考与周六开始的为期三天的端午节假期重叠，部分学生不在学校，这对学生管理构成威胁，并增加了作弊的可能性。Local authorities have been urged to regulate exam-related training institutions and strictly combat illegal activities such as false advertising and charging expensive consultation fees.各地被敦促监管与考试相关的培训机构，并严格打击虚假广告和收取高额咨询费等非法活动。Meanwhile, candidates will be provided with personalized services in terms of transportation, accommodations and medical care, the Education Ministry said.教育部表示，与此同时，考生将在交通、住宿和医疗方面获得个性化服务。Customized Braille exam papers will be prepared for 15 visually challenged candidates nationwide, and over 11,000 candidates with disabilities will be provided with convenient accommodations, it added.它补充说，将为全国15名视力障碍考生准备定制的盲文试卷，并将为超过11000名残疾考生提供便利。Ren Yanhong, a mental health teacher at Beijing Academy, said that gaokao takers should turn their anxiety into motivation to do well on the exams. "When anxiety occurs, students should be aware of what happened instead of being trapped in the feelings. The biggest enemy of anxiety is action," Ren said.北京中学心理健康教师任艳红表示，高考考生应该将焦虑转化为取得好成绩的动力。任艳红表示说：“当焦虑发生时，学生应该意识到发生了什么，而不是被困在这种感觉中。焦虑最大的敌人是行动。”national college entrance examinations全国高考exam fraud考试作弊proxy test-takers替考者

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on US-China talks about areas like counter-narcotics.
The Ministry of Public Security has debunked a video that sparked a nationwide search after it was widely circulated on social media.一段视频在社交媒体上引发了全国范围内的传播和关注，公安部对此视频进行了辟谣。The video, depicting homework booklets supposedly lost by a Chinese first grader in Paris, was revealed to be a meticulously crafted ploy for online attention.这个描述中国一年级小孩秦朗在巴黎丢作业的视频，是为了吸引网络关注而精心制作的。The ministry's expose was part of a broader effort to combat online rumors. On Friday, it presented details of 10 prominent cases, highlighting the Paris homework incident as a prime example.公安部的曝光是打击网络谣言的一部分。4月12日，公安部介绍了10个突出案例的细节，其中以“秦朗丢作业”为主要例子。The video was uploaded in February by a blogger surnamed Xu, from Zhejiang province. It showed a Parisian restaurant worker supposedly returning homework found in a restroom. The video said the homework belonged to Qin Lang from Class Eight, without specifying the school. That sparked a social media frenzy, with many netizens attempting to locate the child.这段视频是2024年2月由一位来自浙江的徐姓博主上传的。视频显示，一名巴黎餐厅工作人员正在归还在洗手间发现的作业。视频称，该作业属于八班的秦朗，但没有指明是哪所学校。这在社交媒体上引起了轩然大波，许多网友都试图找到这个孩子。However, the narrative quickly unraveled. A user claiming to be Qin Lang's uncle appeared in the comments section, providing an unverified school name. Subsequent investigations revealed the person making the comment, a person surnamed Yang from Jiangsu province, was another participant in the scheme to gain online attention and was not related to Xu.然而，故事很快就被揭穿了。一位自称是秦朗舅舅的用户出现在评论区，提供了一个未经证实的学校名称。随后的调查显示，发表这番言论的人是来自江苏省的杨某，他是该骗局的另一参与者，目的是吸引网上的关注，与徐某没有关系。Further investigation by authorities exposed the entire charade. Police discovered that Xu, along with her company director, surnamed Xue, scripted the video, purchased generic homework booklets online and staged the entire scene.公安的进一步调查揭露了整个骗局。警方发现，徐某和她的公司经理薛某一起编写了视频，在网上购买了通用的作业手册，并上演了整个场景。Facing administrative penalties and demands for public apologies, Xu admitted her initial lack of "legal awareness" but expressed remorse for the widespread attention and disruption caused by the video.

Big idea one: in Federalist 78 Hamilton defended the notion that the tenure of federal judges should be relative to a standard of good behavior, and associated that standard with the independence of the judiciary. Big idea two: in Federalist 78 Hamilton defended the claim that the judiciary is the least powerful – least dangerous - of the three branches. Big idea three: in Federalist 78 Hamilton defended the idea that the judiciary ought to be the body that determines whether laws are constitutional.

Israeli intelligence services are known for their effectiveness and have a long history of safeguarding the country's security interests. The primary Israeli intelligence agencies include the Mossad, Shin Bet (also known as the Israel Security Agency), and Aman (the Directorate of Military Intelligence). Here is a comprehensive summary of how these agencies work:Mossad (HaMossad leModi'in uleTafkidim Meyuhadim):The Mossad is Israel's premier intelligence agency, responsible for foreign intelligence and covert operations abroad.Its primary mission is to gather intelligence related to potential threats to Israel, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and other security concerns.The Mossad conducts espionage, counter-terrorism, and covert operations, including assassinations or sabotage when necessary.It operates under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office and is led by a director who reports directly to the Prime Minister.Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency or ISA):Shin Bet focuses on domestic intelligence and counter-terrorism within Israel and the Palestinian territories.Its primary responsibilities include monitoring and combating terrorism, subversion, and espionage within Israel and the West Bank.Shin Bet also provides security for high-ranking officials and critical infrastructure.The agency operates under the Ministry of Public Security and reports to the Minister of Public Security.Aman (Directorate of Military Intelligence):Aman is the military intelligence agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence related to military threats to Israel.It focuses on regional military developments, such as the capabilities and intentions of neighboring states and non-state actors.Aman plays a crucial role in Israel's national security and helps shape military strategies and operations.The agency operates within the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and provides intelligence support to the military and other Israeli security agencies.Key aspects of how these Israeli intelligence services work:Cooperation: The different intelligence agencies in Israel often collaborate and share information to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to national security.Recruitment: These agencies recruit and train agents, informants, and operatives to gather intelligence or carry out covert operations. Recruitment may involve both Israeli citizens and foreign assets.Technology and Cybersecurity: Israeli intelligence agencies are known for their expertise in technological intelligence and cyber capabilities, which are vital for monitoring and countering threats in the modern era.Counterterrorism: Given Israel's unique security challenges, counterterrorism is a significant focus. These agencies work to identify, prevent, and respond to terrorist threats, both domestically and internationally.Political Oversight: Israeli intelligence agencies operate under the oversight of various governmental bodies, ensuring that their activities remain within legal and ethical boundaries.Global Reach: The Mossad, in particular, operates globally and conducts operations in various countries to protect Israeli interests. This global reach is a key element of Israel's national security strategy.Clandestine Operations: These agencies are known for their ability to carry out covert operations, such as assassinations or sabotage, when deemed necessary to protect Israeli interests.Even with all of these resources and all of their previous success, the Israeli Intelligence services were caught sleeping just like they were 50 years ago at the start of the Yom Kippur War.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Thursday, April 20th, 2023. Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized? Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show! Mark your calendars for October 11th-14th, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, our Rowdy Christian Merch, and a Sabbath Feast to wrap up the occasion. Maybe an infant baptism while we’re at it! Visit fightlaughfeast.com for more information! We start this off with some somber news coming out of Alabama. https://www.foxnews.com/us/two-teens-charged-dadeville-alabama-mass-shooting-sweet-16-birthday-party Two teens charged in Dadeville, Alabama, mass shooting at Sweet 16 birthday party Alabama authorities announced Wednesday that two teenagers have been arrested and charged in the Dadeville mass shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party last weekend. Four people were killed, and another 32 people were injured when gunfire erupted at approximately 10:34 p.m. Saturday at the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio, located in the 200 Block of Broadnax Street in Dadeville, a sleepy town of just 3,200 people in Tallapoosa County, about 62 miles northeast of the state capital of Montgomery. Days later, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, were both formally charged with four counts of reckless murder. The teens from Tuskegee were arrested by Special Agents with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). "These individuals have been charged after a complex and thorough investigation was conducted with assistance from a multitude of law enforcement agencies," the ALEA said in a statement. At a press conference Wednesday, District Attorney Mike Segrest said the pair would be charged as adults and that prosecutors would ask a judge to hold them without bail. A bond hearing must be held by Friday under Alabama law. He said four people remain in the hospital in critical condition and that more charges would be coming. The gunfire broke out Saturday at a 16th birthday party for Alexis Dowdell, which was being held at the dance studio just off the town’s courthouse square. Witnesses have said multiple people began shooting some time after Dowdell’s mother paused the celebration to ask people with guns to leave. The birthday girl’s brother, Philstavious "Phil" Dowdell, reportedly died in his sister’s arms. Besides Phil Dowdell, a star wide receiver with plans to play college football at Jacksonville State this fall, those killed were fellow Dadeville High senior Shaunkivia Nicole "KeKe" Smith, 17, an athlete-turned-team manager; 2022 Opelika High School graduate Marsiah Emmanuel "Siah" Collins, 19, an aspiring singer who planned to start college this fall; and 2018 Dadeville High graduate Corbin Dahmontrey Holston, 23, another former athlete at the school. Holston had gone to the party to check on a younger family member who feared trouble, Holston’s mother Janett Heard told AL.com. Relatives told the news outlet that the shooting began shortly after Holston arrived, and that he pulled his younger relative to safety. https://nypost.com/2023/04/18/chinese-police-stations-allegedly-spying-on-nyc-la-more/ After FBI busts Chinese ‘police station’ in NYC, six more exposed in US The FBI helped shut down a clandestine Chinese “police station” in Manhattan after the arrest of two alleged operatives earlier this week — but The Post is told that there are several more of these illegal organizations scattered across the US. In addition to the Chinese police station above a noodle restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown, there is another station at an undisclosed address in New York City, as well as an outpost in Los Angeles, according to a new report by Safeguard Defenders. The Madrid-based human rights group initially published a report last year detailing 100 clandestine Chinese police stations around the world. In addition to Los Angeles and New York, the nonprofit has found so-called “overseas service stations” in San Francisco and Houston as well as in cities in Nebraska and Minnesota. These law enforcement organizations, operated by the Chinese Communist Party, are tasked with spying on Chinese nationals around the world. UFWD is an acronym for United Front Work Department, a Chinese government agency that controls overseas ethnic and religious affairs. Often, the police stations — whose operatives allegedly spy on dissidents and others — hide behind nonprofits and community associations, according to Safeguard Defenders’ reports. In Chinatown, the police station was run by the America ChangLe Association NY Inc., which owns the building at 107 East Broadway where the operation was located, The Post revealed in October. The nonprofit, which listed its charitable mission as a “social gathering place for Fujianese people,” paid $1.3 million in 2016 for the suite of offices that houses the Fuzhou Police Overseas Chinese Affairs bureau at the East Broadway location, filings show. Last year, the group held its annual gala dinner, featuring New York City Mayor Eric Adams as the guest of honor — an event that was not disclosed on the mayor’s official agenda. On Monday, federal agents arrested “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan for allegedly establishing the East Broadway station, known as the Fuzhou branch of the Ministry of Public Security in China. The men allegedly shut down the station last year when they became aware of a federal investigation, according to a statement from the Department of Justice. According to the criminal complaint, Lu also helped track down dissidents who were living in the city. Chinese officials also requested that he participate in demonstrations against Falun Gong, a religious movement subject to crackdown across the globe by the Chinese Communist Party, the complaint said. Lu and Chen also tried to obstruct the DOJ’s investigation by deleting their communications with an official of MPS after finding out about the FBI investigation, federal prosecutors said. The criminal complaint against Lu and Chen was unsealed Monday at the same time that 44 other defendants were charged, in two separate complaints in Brooklyn federal court, for various crimes related to illegally acting on behalf of China in the US.

Employees with technical backgrounds like user experience, software engineering, graphics programming and other roles announced on LinkedIn that they had been let go by the company on Wednesday morning. A Meta spokesperson confirmed to CNBC the cuts had started. One employee impacted by the moves told CNBC that Wednesday’s layoffs also hit product-facing teams and that Meta plans to cut business-facing roles, such as finance, legal and HR, beginning in May. The employee, who discussed the layoffs under condition of a-nuh-ni-muh-tee to speak freely, said Meta suggested tech teams who weren’t impacted by Wednesday’s cuts may also be included in layoffs next month. LinkedIn posts indicated that multiple people who worked as gameplay programmers were also affected by the layoffs. Gameplay engineers work on virtual and augmented reality products, according to a Meta job listing. With ad revenue slumping last year and its stock price in free-fall, Facebook’s parent announced its first round of layoffs in November, affecting some 11,000 workers. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg then declared 2023 the “year of efficiency,” and proceeded with a plan of an additional 10,000 job cuts in March, resulting in restructuring costs of between $3 billion and $5 billion. As Zuckerberg said at the time, the new round of April layoffs targets technical workers. He said cuts in the business groups would take place in late May. Wall Street has applauded the downsizing. Meta shares have soared 81% this year after losing about two-thirds of their value last year. Revenue has declined for three straight quarters, and analysts are projecting another quarterly sales drop when Meta reports its first-quarter earnings next week. The company’s previous guidance called for sales of between $26 billion and $28.5 billion, which means the streak of revenue declines could end if Meta reaches the top end of the range. https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2023/04/18/bidens-border-roughly-180000-more-migrants-in-march/ Biden’s Border Flood: 180,000 More Migrants in March President Joe Biden’s deputies accepted roughly 180,000 more illegal migrants in March to take jobs and homes that would otherwise go to better-paid Americans. The March inflow brings Biden’s total southern inflow to roughly 4.3 million — or more than one migrant for every American born in 2022. That massive inflow spikes Wall Street by cutting Americans’ wages, inflating housing prices, and shifting new jobs and wealth to the coastal states. The two leading GOP candidates for 2024 — Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — are promising to end the illegal migrant inflow. Federal data released on April 17 shows that 162,317 illegal migrants were arrested at the border in March by the border agents. Biden’s deputies rejected 90,000 of the migrants under the Title 42 border barrier, which is due to expire on May 11. They allowed 104,238 migrants into the United States to take jobs while they plead for asylum. The 104,238 accepted migrants include roughly 80,000 people admitted after they were arrested along the borders, plus 26,583 people who used the agency’s “CBP One” to get an appointment inside the United States for the catch-and-release process. But federal officials also allowed in another 30,000 migrants via quasi-legal loopholes cut by Biden’s pro-migration, Cuban-born border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. These Cuban, Haitian, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan migrants fly into the United States by aircraft and are not recorded in the border arrest data. This legal trick allows Mayorkas to claim that he is managing the border chaos created by Biden’s welcome for migrants, despite a judge’s order barring the process. But the monthly data also excludes the so-called “gotaways” who sneak past the half-built wall, decommissioned sensor networks, and diminished border patrol. This “gotaway” population added roughly 50,000 more job-seeking illegal migrants in March. These gotaways are quasi-legal because Mayorkas has announced he will not deport them unless they commit a violent crime. So the total inflow in March was about 180,000 — 104,238 let through the border, 30,000 lets in via Mayorkas’ pathway, plus 50,000 gotaways. Biden’s policies have allowed entry by roughly 4.3 million illegal migrants since January 2021 — or roughly one migrant for every two births in the United States during his tenure. In their press release on the monthly numbers, GOP leaders touted the bigger number of migrants who arrived at the border, not the smaller number of migrants who were actually admitted by Mayorkas. Donor-backed GOP officials rarely mention the huge economic impact of Biden’s migration on voters — or even on swing voters. Roughly 75 percent of the welcomed migrants in March are working-age job-seekers who need to pay their high-interest smuggling debts by working even tough jobs at low wages. That makes them attractive hires for U.S. employers who do not want to hire the roughly six million Americans who have been sidelined by age, criminal records, drugs, laziness, obesity, disability, or reluctance to take jobs for wages below what they have been paid before. The federal government annually admits about 1 million temporary workers — many of whom never go home — plus about 1 million legal immigrants. Those numbers were largely set by Congress in 1990. All told the combination of legal and illegal immigrants delivers roughly one migrant for every American birth each year. And now this! Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a parody of the old Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials taking aim at transgender female athletes, including Lia Thomas and CeCé Telfer among others. Instead of Bud Light, which has been involved in a massive controversy over the brand’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, the ad introduces Freedom Heavy and "real men of women’s sports." https://twitter.com/i/status/16481268 78207680513 - Play Video 0:00-0:30

UFWD is an acronym for United Front Work Department, a Chinese government agency that controls overseas ethnic and religious affairs. Often, the police stations — whose operatives allegedly spy on dissidents and others — hide behind nonprofits and community associations, according to Safeguard Defenders’ reports. In Chinatown, the police station was run by the America ChangLe Association NY Inc., which owns the building at 107 East Broadway where the operation was located, The Post revealed in October. The nonprofit, which listed its charitable mission as a “social gathering place for Fujianese people,” paid $1.3 million in 2016 for the suite of offices that houses the Fuzhou Police Overseas Chinese Affairs bureau at the East Broadway location, filings show. Last year, the group held its annual gala dinner, featuring New York City Mayor Eric Adams as the guest of honor — an event that was not disclosed on the mayor’s official agenda. On Monday, federal agents arrested “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan for allegedly establishing the East Broadway station, known as the Fuzhou branch of the Ministry of Public Security in China. The men allegedly shut down the station last year when they became aware of a federal investigation, according to a statement from the Department of Justice. According to the criminal complaint, Lu also helped track down dissidents who were living in the city. Chinese officials also requested that he participate in demonstrations against Falun Gong, a religious movement subject to crackdown across the globe by the Chinese Communist Party, the complaint said. Lu and Chen also tried to obstruct the DOJ’s investigation by deleting their communications with an official of MPS after finding out about the FBI investigation, federal prosecutors said. The criminal complaint against Lu and Chen was unsealed Monday at the same time that 44 other defendants were charged, in two separate complaints in Brooklyn federal court, for various crimes related to illegally acting on behalf of China in the US.

Employees with technical backgrounds like user experience, software engineering, graphics programming and other roles announced on LinkedIn that they had been let go by the company on Wednesday morning. A Meta spokesperson confirmed to CNBC the cuts had started. One employee impacted by the moves told CNBC that Wednesday’s layoffs also hit product-facing teams and that Meta plans to cut business-facing roles, such as finance, legal and HR, beginning in May. The employee, who discussed the layoffs under condition of a-nuh-ni-muh-tee to speak freely, said Meta suggested tech teams who weren’t impacted by Wednesday’s cuts may also be included in layoffs next month. LinkedIn posts indicated that multiple people who worked as gameplay programmers were also affected by the layoffs. Gameplay engineers work on virtual and augmented reality products, according to a Meta job listing. With ad revenue slumping last year and its stock price in free-fall, Facebook’s parent announced its first round of layoffs in November, affecting some 11,000 workers. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg then declared 2023 the “year of efficiency,” and proceeded with a plan of an additional 10,000 job cuts in March, resulting in restructuring costs of between $3 billion and $5 billion. As Zuckerberg said at the time, the new round of April layoffs targets technical workers. He said cuts in the business groups would take place in late May. Wall Street has applauded the downsizing. Meta shares have soared 81% this year after losing about two-thirds of their value last year. Revenue has declined for three straight quarters, and analysts are projecting another quarterly sales drop when Meta reports its first-quarter earnings next week. The company’s previous guidance called for sales of between $26 billion and $28.5 billion, which means the streak of revenue declines could end if Meta reaches the top end of the range. https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2023/04/18/bidens-border-roughly-180000-more-migrants-in-march/ Biden’s Border Flood: 180,000 More Migrants in March President Joe Biden’s deputies accepted roughly 180,000 more illegal migrants in March to take jobs and homes that would otherwise go to better-paid Americans. The March inflow brings Biden’s total southern inflow to roughly 4.3 million — or more than one migrant for every American born in 2022. That massive inflow spikes Wall Street by cutting Americans’ wages, inflating housing prices, and shifting new jobs and wealth to the coastal states. The two leading GOP candidates for 2024 — Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — are promising to end the illegal migrant inflow. Federal data released on April 17 shows that 162,317 illegal migrants were arrested at the border in March by the border agents. Biden’s deputies rejected 90,000 of the migrants under the Title 42 border barrier, which is due to expire on May 11. They allowed 104,238 migrants into the United States to take jobs while they plead for asylum. The 104,238 accepted migrants include roughly 80,000 people admitted after they were arrested along the borders, plus 26,583 people who used the agency’s “CBP One” to get an appointment inside the United States for the catch-and-release process. But federal officials also allowed in another 30,000 migrants via quasi-legal loopholes cut by Biden’s pro-migration, Cuban-born border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. These Cuban, Haitian, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan migrants fly into the United States by aircraft and are not recorded in the border arrest data. This legal trick allows Mayorkas to claim that he is managing the border chaos created by Biden’s welcome for migrants, despite a judge’s order barring the process. But the monthly data also excludes the so-called “gotaways” who sneak past the half-built wall, decommissioned sensor networks, and diminished border patrol. This “gotaway” population added roughly 50,000 more job-seeking illegal migrants in March. These gotaways are quasi-legal because Mayorkas has announced he will not deport them unless they commit a violent crime. So the total inflow in March was about 180,000 — 104,238 let through the border, 30,000 lets in via Mayorkas’ pathway, plus 50,000 gotaways. Biden’s policies have allowed entry by roughly 4.3 million illegal migrants since January 2021 — or roughly one migrant for every two births in the United States during his tenure. In their press release on the monthly numbers, GOP leaders touted the bigger number of migrants who arrived at the border, not the smaller number of migrants who were actually admitted by Mayorkas. Donor-backed GOP officials rarely mention the huge economic impact of Biden’s migration on voters — or even on swing voters. Roughly 75 percent of the welcomed migrants in March are working-age job-seekers who need to pay their high-interest smuggling debts by working even tough jobs at low wages. That makes them attractive hires for U.S. employers who do not want to hire the roughly six million Americans who have been sidelined by age, criminal records, drugs, laziness, obesity, disability, or reluctance to take jobs for wages below what they have been paid before. The federal government annually admits about 1 million temporary workers — many of whom never go home — plus about 1 million legal immigrants. Those numbers were largely set by Congress in 1990. All told the combination of legal and illegal immigrants delivers roughly one migrant for every American birth each year. And now this! Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a parody of the old Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials taking aim at transgender female athletes, including Lia Thomas and CeCé Telfer among others. Instead of Bud Light, which has been involved in a massive controversy over the brand’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, the ad introduces Freedom Heavy and "real men of women’s sports." https://twitter.com/i/status/16481268 78207680513 - Play Video 0:00-0:30
The FBI on Monday morning arrested two New York City residents “in connection with opening and operating an illegal overseas police station," according to a Justice Department press release. Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping were "charged with conspiring to act as agents of the [People's Republic of China] government, as well as obstructing justice by destroying evidence of their communications with [a Chinese Ministry of Public Security] official,” the Justice Department said.Michael Cunningham, a research fellow in the Asian Studies Center at The Heritage Foundation, joins today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his thoughts on the arrests, China's dismissal of the allegations, and the leaked Pentagon documents relating to Taiwan.

Monday’s remarks sought to highlight what McCarthy called Biden’s “irresponsible” economic policy after the speaker last month accused the commander-in-chief of being “missing in action” from debt ceiling talks. The speaker in March suggested cutting non-defense spending back to pre-inflationary levels and introducing more work requirements for some welfare programs. Biden rolled out a $6.9 trillion budget proposal the same month, which would have increased the national debt to $51 trillion over the next decade. In January, the federal government exceeded its roughly $31 trillion debt limit, halting its ability to borrow funds for programs like Social Security and Medicare. Congress last approved a debt ceiling increase in December 2021. Also in January, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the federal borrowing limit will need to be increased by June of this year to prevent a default on America’s national debt. McCarthy said Biden’s unwillingness to negotiate as commander-in-chief differs greatly from his past openness to fiscal reform as a US senator and even as Barack Obama’s vice president. Both the White House and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) compared McCarthy’s push for spending cuts to “hostage-taking.” https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/2-arrested-for-allegedly-operating-illegal-chinese-police-station-in-nyc-sources-say/4247736/ 2 Arrested for Allegedly Operating Illegal Chinese ‘Police Station' in NYC Two people have been arrested by the FBI on allegations they helped operate an illegal police station for the government of China in lower Manhattan. The two are charged with conspiring to act as agents for the Chinese government. The FBI said “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were arrested Monday morning at their homes in New York City. "The defendants worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the (Ministry of Public Security)," the FBI said in a statement. In addition to the New York complaint, two other complaints were filed - one against 34 members of Beijing's Municipal Public Security Bureau, and another against a group of 10 people that includes eight Chinese government officials. The common thread in the three complaints - that the suspects allegedly worked to intimidate, harass and threaten "wanted" Chinese nationals inside the United States. Last November, the FBI said it was aware that China was operating a de facto police station in Manhattan, outside of proper procedure or authority, as part of global network of such outposts. It followed a Sept. 2022 investigation by a nongovernmental organization, Safeguard Defenders, which reported there were dozens of such centers worldwide conducting police operations. Chinese officials decried that characterization, saying the "service centers" were volunteer-run and had nothing to do with policing. But the New York Times reported in January that Chinese state media had explicitly described the centers as policing facilities, acting in other countries without collaborating with local authorities. The Times also reported that the FBI had searched the East Broadway facility in the fall of 2022. https://www.businessinsider.com/nancy-pelosi-campaign-pays-man-fundraising-text-lawsuit-2023-4 Pelosi campaign pays Illinois man $7,500 after he sued over 'invasive and harassing' fundraising texts An Illinois man is now $7,500 richer after accusing Nancy Pelosi of violating federal robocalling laws. In October 2022, a Bolingbrook, Illinois resident named Jorge Rojas filed a 13-page lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that accused the former speaker of the House and her campaign of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. That law, which has been found to apply to text messages in addition to calls, applies restrictions to robocalling and requires telemarketers not to contact individuals who've placed themselves on the Do Not Call Registry. "As the Supreme Court has explained, Americans passionately disagree about many things," reads the introduction of Rojas's complaint. "But they are largely united in their disdain for robocalls." According to the suit, Rojas received 21 texts from Pelosi's campaign from November 2021 to July 2022 despite previously placing himself on the registry in 2008 to "obtain solitude from invasive and harassing telemarketing calls." He went on to argue that he "experienced frustration, annoyance, irritation, and a sense that his privacy has been invaded" by the texts. Arguing that the texts constituted "malicious, intentional, willful, reckless, wanton and negligent disregard" for his rights, Rojas sought at least $31,500 in damages from Pelosi's campaign, including $1,500 for each text received. But months later, on February 22, Rojas moved to dismiss the suit against Pelosi. And according to federal campaign finance disclosures made public on Friday, the dismissal came after Rojas received a $7,500 payment marked "Settlement" from Pelosi's congressional campaign. Rojas and Pelosi's campaign did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. https://www.foxnews.com/us/teen-takeover-terrorizes-chicago-hundreds-children-destroy-property-attack-tourists ‘Teen Takeover’ terrorizes Chicago as hundreds of teenagers destroy property, attack tourists Hundreds of teenagers stormed the streets of downtown Chicago, smashing car windows, attacking bystanders and sending panicked tourists running from the sound of gunfire. Fox 32 cameras captured video of teenagers crowding the streets and police seeking to restore order to the area. Large groups of teens were seen blasting music from Bluetooth speakers and roaming in front of traffic, with some attempting to gain access to the city's Millennium Park, which is off-limits to those under 21 after certain hours, and the downtown Art Institute. Some teens in the group began jumping up and down on cars, smashing windows and attacking people inside. One woman told Fox 32 her husband was attacked from the driver side of his vehicle and beaten after a group of teens jumped up and down on the couple's windshield. The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Hundreds of police officers assisted by SWAT teams descended on downtown in an attempt to restore order as gunfire was reported multiple times amid the unfolding scene. Police were seen escorting frightened tourists back to their cars or hotels to escape the chaos, and traffic on Chicago's Michigan Avenue ground to a halt as police attempted to restore order. Police say a 6-year-old boy was shot in the arm near the Chicago Loop and a 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg. Both were taken to Northwestern Hospital and listed in fair condition, according to a report from WLS. Fox 32 reported that the chaos appeared to be another "Teen Takeover" of the city that was planned on social media, noting that a similar scene played out in Chicago last year.

The Chinese regime has established police departments outside its borders, including in New York City where officials announced criminal charges against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents. Among the individuals being charged are members of the CCP's Ministry of Public Security, and the crackdown could help shut down similar overseas police stations operating elsewhere. Meanwhile, New York City is rolling out new robot police. The new K5 units will start by patrolling the transit system, and are slated to help improve public safety around the city's subways. The systems are being met with mixed reactions, with both a want for better rule of law, yet also with concerns about how similar robot police are used in other countries. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and political analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Steinberg reviews the Friday night terror attack outside a synagogue in Jerusalem's Neve Yaakov neighborhood that killed seven, as well as a spate of shootings and attempted attacks over the course of Saturday. Rettig Gur discusses the reactions of Public Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to the terror attacks and how his responses are worrying for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the government moves forward with its response to the situation. Rettig Gur also examines the Palestinian discourse with regard to the terror attacks, and Palestinian reactions to the changes in Israel's government. Berman talks about the official diplomatic condemnations of the Friday night attack, including from the Gulf and UAE, and with many diplomats highlighting that it took place on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Berman discusses Netanyahu's meeting last week with Jordanian King Abdullah II, their first in four years and the issue of maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount, which is under the administration of the Jordanians, and has been a source of tension between the two governments, given the increase in visits from Jewish religious nationalists, including Public Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. He also speaks about President Isaac Herzog's trip last week to Brussels, which included an address to the European Parliament to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and time spent with the local Jewish community. Discussed articles include: ‘His soul is eternal': Funerals held for 3 victims of Jerusalem terror attack Washington, UN, UAE, many others condemn ‘heinous, tragic' Jerusalem terror shooting Netanyahu and Abdullah meet in Jordan, signaling they want to move past tensions Netanyahu vows to maintain Temple Mount status quo in meeting with Jordanian king Herzog welcomed by Belgian king ahead of meetings with EU, NATO chiefs Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Legal affairs correspondent Jeremy Sharon and diaspora and religion writer Judah Ari Gross join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Sharon explains the complex legal situation unfolding with the barring of Shas leader Aryeh Deri from the government as a cabinet minister and what he would need to be reinstated. Gross looks at a conference of left-wing religious Jews gathering together for the first time, as this grassroots movement bands together from across the religious spectrum. Sharon discusses the evacuation of an illegal West Bank outpost of religious settlers, and how far-right politicians, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Public Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, equated the situation with the ongoing debate over illegal Bedouin village Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank. Gross talks about the shortage of ulpan teachers, instructors who teach Hebrew to new immigrants, caused by a lack of wage negotiations and complications with finding alternatives. Discussed articles include: Deri v. High Court: What did he actually pledge in his 2022 plea bargain?

Peniley and Maria take a roadtrip to an unassuming warehouse in Queens. The location was once a front company for El Chapo's Sinaloa cartel. Now, García Luna is accused of facilitating drugs to New York, as part of El Chapo's business chain. Maria and Peniley learn that accusations of collaboration between El Chapo and García Luna date back to as early as 2001 – way before he was appointed as Secretary of Public Security. In this episode, we reveal how García Luna was able to climb the highest ranks of Mexican politics and how he managed to stay there without any accountability for so long.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
