Missing boy found dead after extensive search失踪男孩在大规模搜寻后被发现死亡 A rescue team that had searched extensively for an 8-year-old boy who went missing found him dead on Wednesday, according to a notice released by Dali city, part of the Dali Bai autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province.据云南省迪庆藏族自治州迪丽市发布的公告，一支搜救队在对一名失踪的 8 岁男孩进行了广泛搜寻后，于周三发现该男孩已死亡。迪丽市属于云南省迪庆藏族自治州。 The boy was found in a mountain stream north of Qingbi Creek in the city's Dali town at around 5 pm on Wednesday.周三下午 5 点左右，这名男孩在该市大利镇青碧溪以北的一条山涧中被发现。 Following an on-site examination and thorough investigation, authorities ruled out death by external injury, and found no evidence that the death was the result of a crime, the notice said.通知中称，经过现场勘查和全面调查，有关部门排除了因外伤致死的可能性，并且未发现该死亡事件系犯罪所致的证据。 "We are deeply saddened by the loss of the child and extend our heartfelt condolences to the family," the team said in the notice. "We also express our gratitude to all sectors of society for their attention and support during the search and rescue efforts. Further related work is currently underway."该团队在公告中表示：“我们对这名儿童的离世深感悲痛，并向其家属致以最诚挚的慰问。”“我们还要感谢社会各界在搜救工作期间给予的关注与支持。目前，相关后续工作正在推进中。” On Saturday, Dali city's public security bureau received a report that the boy had gone missing. In response, the city mobilized a coordinated search and rescue operation involving local police, fire rescue teams, forest firefighters, emergency services, the forestry and grassland administration, and volunteer groups of local civilian rescue teams, the team said in an earlier notice.周六，大理市公安局接到报警称该男孩失踪。对此，该市立即组织了一场协同搜救行动，参与行动的有当地警方、消防救援队、森林消防员、紧急救援部门、林业和草原管理部门以及当地民间救援队的志愿者团体，该团队在早前的一份通知中如是表示。 By Sunday afternoon, more than 300 personnel, two search dogs, four unmanned drones, and five thermal imaging devices had been deployed to locate the child in the area, which features rugged terrain and dense vegetation.到周日下午，已有超过 300 名工作人员、两只搜救犬、四架无人驾驶飞机以及五套热成像设备被派往该地区搜寻这名儿童。该地区地势崎岖，植被茂密。 A resident surnamed Zhang from Dali city, who offered to help with the rescue, told China Daily on Monday that over 380 residents from Dali had created a WeChat group to aid in the rescue, and at least 200 of them had participated in the effort by joining the search on the mountain or organizing supplies.来自大理市的一位姓张的居民主动提出参与救援工作。他周一接受《中国日报》采访时表示，大理市有超过 380 名居民组建了一个微信群来协助救援工作，其中至少有 200 人参与了救援行动，他们有的参与了山上的搜寻工作，有的则负责组织物资供应。 search and rescue operationn.搜救行动/sɜːtʃ ənd ˈreskjuː ˌɒpəˈreɪʃn/ thermal imaging devicen.热成像设备/ˈθɜːml ˈɪmɪdʒɪŋ dɪˈvaɪs/

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge hatte ich das Vergnügen, mit Pirmin Reimeir zu sprechen. Pirmin ist Lead Product Manager bei Audi im Kooperationsprojekt mit SAIC Motors – und das für die neue Marke AUDI, die in China bewusst mit vier Großbuchstaben geschrieben wird. Gemeinsam mit einem kleinen Team arbeitet er daran, eine eigenständige Audi-Schwester auf dem chinesischen Markt zu etablieren, die jüngere, technikaffine Kund:innen anspricht – und sich damit ganz klar von der klassischen Premium-Marke mit den vier Ringen abgrenzt. Was sofort klar wird: Das Projekt ist mehr als ein weiterer Marktentritt. Es ist ein Paradigmenwechsel. „Früher haben wir Technologien aus Deutschland nach China gebracht und sie lokal adaptiert. Jetzt entwickeln wir direkt vor Ort – mit dem Ohr am chinesischen Kunden.“ Der Fokus liegt auf einem radikal lokalisierten Ansatz: Produkte werden in China für China entwickelt, mit lokaler Plattform, Softwarearchitektur und Design. Und das ist kein Zufall: Zwei Drittel aller weltweit verkauften Elektroautos rollen in China vom Band. Wer hier mithalten will, muss anders denken. Ein Beispiel für diesen neuen Ansatz ist der Audi Assistant – ein digitaler Avatar im OLED-Display, der mit den Nutzer:innen interagiert. „So ein Feature würde ein durchschnittlich 20 Jahre älterer europäischer Kunde vielleicht als Spielerei empfinden – in China trifft es den Nerv der Zielgruppe,“ so Pirmin. Gleichzeitig bleibt die technische DNA erhalten: das Premium-Fahrerlebnis, das sich durch die Audi-typische Abstimmung von Fahrwerk und Quattro-Antrieb auszeichnet, wird weiterhin maßgeblich in Europa entwickelt. Spannend ist, wie sich das neue China-Audi bewusst vom traditionellen Joint Venture mit FAW und der globalen Audi-Marke unterscheidet – und gleichzeitig Verbundenheit signalisiert. Beide teilen sich den Leitsatz „Vorsprung durch Technik“, doch die Interpretation unterscheidet sich je nach Zielgruppe. Die neue Marke spielt stärker mit mutigem Design, digitalen Features und jugendlicher Bildsprache. Dennoch ist sie tief in der Audi-Heritage verwurzelt. „Auch die ersten Audis trugen zunächst vier Buchstaben, bevor die Ringe kamen“, erinnert Pirmin. Was mich beeindruckt hat, ist der kollaborative Spirit, den Pirmin beschreibt. In China herrsche eine andere Offenheit – man denke in Win-win-Szenarien, arbeite transparenter zusammen, auch über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg. „In Europa zeigt jeder, was er kann, aber keiner lässt den anderen reinschauen. Hier versucht man gemeinsam, den Kuchen größer zu machen.“ Auch organisatorisch agiert das China-Team agiler, mit flachen Strukturen und schnellen Entscheidungen – oft per WeChat. Diese Geschwindigkeit – der berühmte „China Speed“ – ist für Pirmin kein Nachteil, sondern täglicher Antrieb. „Hier passiert gerade die spannendste Entwicklung der Automobilindustrie weltweit.“ Er schätzt den digitalen Alltag, das Tempo, die Dynamik – beruflich wie privat. Das Projekt ist für ihn mehr als ein Job. Es ist Teil einer grundlegenden Transformation, die Audi in China gerade durchlebt – und vielleicht bald auf andere Märkte abstrahlen wird. Nun aber genug der Vorworte – hör am besten selbst rein und erfahre aus erster Hand, wie Audi mit vier Buchstaben den vielleicht wichtigsten Automarkt der Welt neu denkt.

"China's approach is very pragmatic. People have been saying DeepSeek did it out of necessity. There's obviously a GPU constraint and hardware constraint in China, something they're working around. In many ways, the engineering genius and engineering innovation is what set DeepSeek apart. It challenged a global narrative around needing more GPUs and more money to get better AI. It was about throwing capital at the problem. It was a different approach because the capital ecosystem in China itself is very different. People talk about proof of concept - you have to prove your concept first in China to get funding. For many startups, they weren't getting much funding before the DeepSeek moment. To your point, no one really knew it would have a strong ROI, so only the BATs that had money and understood the technology were backing it." - Grace Shao, Founder of AI Proem Newsletter Fresh out of the studio, Grace Shao, founder of AI Proem Newsletter and former CNBC and CGTN journalist, joins us to explore the rise of generative AI in China and how it's reshaping the global technology narrative. She began the story of her career journey and started with the conversation reflecting on how the DeepSeek moment revitalized China's internet sector after years of regulatory challenges and geopolitical tensions. Grace unpacks the pragmatic Chinese approach to AI development, explaining how companies like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are leveraging their unique ecosystems and data advantages while startups embrace open-weight models to prove innovation over imitation. She discusses why the "China versus US AI arms race" narrative misses the point, the strategic reasons behind companies relocating to avoid geopolitical sensitivities, and how distribution challenges are separating winners from losers in the consumer AI space. Addressing the broader implications, Grace explores the real opportunities in robotics, vertical AI applications, and why collaboration rather than competition should define the industry's future. Closing the conversation, she shares her vision for bridging cultural understanding between East and West and what success looks like for the next generation of AI development.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi's London Mission: Trade Meets Royalty It was a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora—and a pivotal handshake in British countryside diplomacy. PM Narendra Modi landed in London for a two-day visit focused on formalizing the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, a deal three years in the making. Hosted by newly elected UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two leaders are expected to finalize an FTA that could eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, while opening India to more British whisky, cars, and luxury goods. Commerce ministers Piyush Goyal and Jonathan Reynolds are likely to sign the deal in their presence. With $55 billion in bilateral trade and nearly 1,000 Indian companies in the UK, the partnership runs deep. India is also a major investor, with $20 billion in British ventures. Later, Modi is set to meet King Charles III, blending hard talks with soft diplomacy. Next stop: the Maldives, in a potential diplomatic reset after recent strain. Mayday in Ahmedabad: IndiGo's Engine Scare It was a nerve-wracking moment on the tarmac. IndiGo flight 6E 7966, heading from Ahmedabad to Diu, aborted takeoff after one engine caught fire during its takeoff roll on July 23. The ATR-76 aircraft carried 60 passengers. Pilots issued a “Mayday” and returned to the bay safely. All passengers were evacuated without injury. IndiGo cited a technical snag and promised thorough checks. This scare comes just a day after another IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore also reported a technical fault before landing. No casualties were reported, but the back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over aircraft maintenance during India's busy monsoon season. Visa Thaw: India Reopens Doors to Chinese Tourists After four tense years post-Galwan, India has officially resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals, in what's being seen as a significant diplomatic thaw. The announcement was made quietly via WeChat by the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Chinese travelers can now begin applying online starting July 24. This follows the recent restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and months of border de-escalation, including the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan and a flurry of bilateral talks. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently met his counterpart Wang Yi, urging the end of restrictive trade measures like China's rare earth export curbs—key for India's EV and agri sectors. From 200,000 visas in 2019 to just 2,000 last year, this move aims to reboot people-to-people ties. Trump Sends More Weapons to Ukraine—$322M Worth Amid escalating Russian attacks, the U.S. has cleared a $322 million arms package for Ukraine. The deal includes $150 million for U.S. armored vehicle support and $172 million for surface-to-air missile systems. The announcement comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused other aid to assess U.S. stockpiles—surprising the White House. President Donald Trump, under rising pressure from isolationists, has since pivoted, declaring: “They have to be able to defend themselves.” Trump's new workaround? Let European allies buy U.S. arms and transfer them to Kyiv. Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $67 billion in military support. Still, NATO countries in Eastern Europe are reluctant to part with their own advanced defense systems, despite mounting urgency. Chanda Kochhar Found Guilty in ₹64 Cr Bribery Case A stunning fall for one of India's most celebrated bankers. Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar has been found guilty of accepting a ₹64 crore bribe in return for sanctioning a ₹300 crore loan to Videocon Group. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nederlandse nieuwsmedia die lid zijn van branchevereniging NDP Nieuwsmedia (waaronder BNR) hebben hun archieven gedeeltelijk opengesteld voor onderzoeksorganisatie TNO om taalmodel GPT-NL verder te trainen. GPT-NL moet dienen als een ethisch en transparant alternatief voor ChatGPT. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Leden van NDP Nieuwsmedia hebben volgens TNO een 'omvangrijk' deel van hun archieven gedeeld. Die bestaan vooral uit nieuwsartikelen die GPT-NL moeten helpen met het begrijpen van de Nederlandse taal. NDP Nieuwsmedia benadrukt daarbij dat het niet de bedoeling is dat GPT-NL als nieuwsbron gaat dienen. Daarom zijn er geen artikelen gedeeld die tot zes maanden geleden geschreven zijn. Het is de eerste keer dat nieuwsuitgevers op deze manier met een AI-ontwikkelaar samenwerken. Verder in deze Tech Update: TikTok, AliExpress en WeChat overtreden volgens privacyclub noyb de AVG, die daarover klaagt bij een drietal Europese privacywaakhonden See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El 30 de junio de 2025, Nicolás Maduro arremetió contra WhatsApp, calificándola como “herramienta de espionaje” y sugiriendo su eliminación progresiva. Esta medida no solo revela el temor del régimen a los medios alternativos de comunicación, sino que también marca un nuevo nivel de control social y censura digital en Venezuela. A militares se les ha obligado a borrar la aplicación, mientras se promueven opciones como Telegram y WeChat, que facilitan el monitoreo estatal.Pero esta no es la única señal de represión: Merlys Oropeza, una joven venezolana de apenas 18 años, fue condenada a 10 años de prisión por realizar comentarios críticos contra el gobierno en redes sociales. Su caso ha generado indignación dentro y fuera del país, al exponer cómo la dictadura criminaliza la opinión y silencia a los ciudadanos con cárcel. ¿Estamos viendo el modelo chino de censura digital replicado en Venezuela? ¿Hasta qué punto el régimen de Maduro está dispuesto a llegar para controlar la narrativa? En este video exploramos los paralelismos con China y Brasil, donde el acceso a redes sociales está restringido o censurado, y cómo estas decisiones responden a un esquema global del socialismo del siglo XXI.Mientras el régimen bloquea portales, silencia a periodistas y encarcela a ciudadanos, queda claro que lo que está en juego es el último espacio libre del venezolano: la red.

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on July 6th and 7th of 2025. The latest BRICS summit expects to see the entrance of 44 more countries into the alliance and the calls for a total shift away from the US Dollar into a new world reserve currency system under BRICS+. While Putin cannot attend due to an ICC arrest warrant and Xi cannot attend due to inner problems between China and India, the overall agenda remains in place as the alliance gains more than half the world's population. The power shift was scripted long ago with the west falling to the east. The west of course propped up the east as the inevitable replacement system with a cashless society and a global technocracy as the goal. The 17th BRICS Summit is sure to cause panic among the dollar maximalists but the issue remains the same regardless of the dollar falling to BRICS or not. There will still be a CBDC system as a replacement for the failed world reserve fiat currency as all fiat currencies eventually fail. As we witness a banking crisis, the shift into a depression, a housing crisis, an employment crisis and massive inflation, the replacement system will be a digital ID with rations. That is, if you keep your money in the bank. Russia is launching their mandated digital ID wallet and "WeChat" type application. The UK and European Union are launching their digital ID. The United States and Canada are launching their own digital IDs including corporations like XMoney owned by Elon Musk releasing their own CBDC and digital infrastructure in cooperation with 'Episodesix.' The EU is launching their CBDC by October and the United States has passed the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act which involves stable coins with KYC as well as the use of this surveillance technology within banks. The whole purpose of crypto in the first place was to avoid the banking system. We are witnessing history and with chaos comes order as wars heat up. This is exactly the scripted move the establishment wanted in the first place. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!
