China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

  • It's being reported by other outlets like the CNN and the South China Morning Post.

    • Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI

  • Actually caught, or caught with a "ai detection" software?

    • Israel: Euphoria gives way to fear after Iranian missiles rain down on Tel Aviv

  • Yeah, that was started when Iraq invaded them.

    • Saudi Arabia executes journalist Turki al-Jasser on treason, terrorism charges

  • He must’ve said something that threatened the people in power.

    If you'd taken a few seconds to open the article, that is explained in the opening sentence.

    Here it is for the other lazy people:

    Saudi authorities arrested al-Jasser in 2018 and seized his devices, believing that he was behind an X, then known as Twitter, account that documented allegations of corruption within the Saudi royal family

    • China ready to drop all tariffs on African imports

  • Yeah it's often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.

    There are of course negative aspects involved, but it's still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.

    • Partial glacier collapse causes landslide that buries 90% of Swiss village

  • An unbelievable amount of material thundered down into the valley

    Yeah, watch the video if you haven't. That was huge.

    And it's not over: The material is positioned such that it might block the river and flood the valley. So more people have been evacuated downstream.

    • In Japan, newly released archives reveal the scale of human experimentation between 1938 and 1945

  • Ishii Shiro is a prime example.

    He was the head of Unit 731 and did things like live and unanesthetized vivisections on people, bioloogical weapons testing on children, etc.. Which is among the milder things. The US made a deal for all his data, and he lived his last years in peace and anonymity as a free man. He actually worked for free as a local doctor for a period.

    If you look up information about him in Japanese sources, most of it is apparently all about how was such a nice man who helped people, and basically that he did a little oopsie in the 40s.

    Yes, the science was valuable,

    That's one of the worse parts, they didn't really gain any of the knowledge they hoped for:

    However, the information obtained was not of significant value, as the U.S. biological warfare program had surpassed the capabilities of Unit 731 by 1943.

    • Piers Morgan Asks Israeli Ambassador to the UK some questions.

  • No, you have to wait until traditional media like the evening news and print newspapers do it as well. Because the average boomer is still fed lies about the situation through those.
