  • Inspiring visionary, outstanding scientist, great patriot: PM Modi’s homage to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid tribute to former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, saying that his thoughts continue to motivate the youth to contribute towards building a developed and strong India.

    Kalam served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007.

    Known as the ‘Missile Man of India’, Kalam earned widespread admiration for his simple lifestyle and non-partisan conduct, winning the respect of people and political leaders across the spectrum.

    Paying rich tributes, PM Modi described Kalam as an “inspiring visionary, outstanding scientist, mentor, and a great patriot.”

    “On his death anniversary, paying homage to our beloved former President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. He is remembered as an inspiring visionary, outstanding scientist, mentor, and a great patriot. His dedication to our nation was exemplary. His thoughts motivate the youth of India to contribute towards building a developed and strong India,” the Prime Minister said on his X handle.

    PM Modi has long held Dr. Kalam in high esteem. On his birth anniversary last year, the Prime Minister praised Kalam’s unique accomplishments, noting how rare it is for someone to be regarded as a “Rashtra Ratna” (Jewel of the Nation) even before becoming the President of India.

    Dr. Kalam remains one of India’s most respected scientists and national figures, remembered for his humility, commitment, and excellence. He played a key role in advancing India’s missile and defence capabilities, particularly through the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme, which led to the development of the Agni and Prithvi missiles.

    He also played a pivotal role in giving India its nuclear capabilities. In 1998, Kalam was one of the chief coordinators of the Pokhran-II nuclear tests, during which five nuclear devices were successfully detonated at a test site in Pokhran, Rajasthan.

    Popularly known as the ‘People’s President,’ Kalam was passionate about inspiring youth and children. On July 27, 2015, he collapsed while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management Shillong and was later pronounced dead from cardiac arrest.

    BJP National President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda also paid tribute, calling Kalam’s life a remarkable story of struggle and success, and praising his unparalleled contribution to making India a nuclear-powered nation.

    “I pay my heartfelt respects to the former President of India, great scientist, Bharat Ratna, and ‘Missile Man’ Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on his death anniversary. Dr. Kalam’s life is a remarkable saga of struggle and success. He faced numerous obstacles but overcame them with unwavering determination and diligence to reach the highest office of the country. His unmatched contribution to making India a nuclear-powered nation is unforgettable. His thoughts and actions for national upliftment will always inspire us in our service to the nation,” Nadda wrote on X.

    Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also paid homage, saying that Kalam’s life of simplicity, dedication, and patriotism continues to inspire the entire nation.

    “Humble tribute to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India, ‘Missile Man’, and Bharat Ratna, on his death anniversary. His life, full of simplicity, dedication, and patriotism, is a divine inspiration for the entire nation. His illuminating thoughts in the fields of science, education, and innovation will continue to enlighten us all,” CM Yogi wrote on X.

  • Plays vital role in security apparatus: PM Modi on CRPF’s 87th Raising Day

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday extended heartfelt greetings to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on its 87th Raising Day, praising the force for its crucial contributions to the nation’s security.

    Acknowledging the CRPF’s unwavering role in safeguarding the country, PM Modi took to X and wrote, “Raising Day wishes to all CRPF personnel. This force has played a vital role in our security apparatus, especially in challenging aspects relating to internal security.”

    The Prime Minister further lauded the dedication and valour of the force, stating, “CRPF personnel have made a mark for their duty, courage and steadfast commitment in the most testing of situations. Their contribution in overcoming humanitarian challenges is also commendable.”

    The CRPF began its journey on July 27, 1939, as the Crown Representative Police. It was officially renamed the Central Reserve Police Force on December 28, 1949, following the enactment of the Central Reserve Police Force Act.

    This transformation marked a new identity for the force as a central armed police unit under the jurisdiction of the Government of India.

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah also extended his greetings to CRPF personnel on the occasion.
    In a post on X, he said, “Heartfelt greetings to all CRPF personnel on their Raising Day. Your selfless sacrifices have been the backbone of our nation’s security, and your unwavering courage to end Naxalism is truly commendable.”

    “Time and again, you’ve stood fearlessly on the frontlines, standing tall against every adversity with fearless resolve. A proud salute to the martyrs of CRPF, your legacy of valour continues to inspire the nation,” HM Shah added.

    The CRPF, in its official message, paid tribute to its personnel and their families.
    “On 27th July, we celebrate 86 glorious years of bold courage, supreme sacrifice, and resolute commitment — deeply inscribed in the legacy of the nation’s security and service,” the force said in a post on X.

    The inception of the CRPF was significantly influenced by the Madras Resolution passed by the All India Congress Committee in 1936, which underlined the need for a robust internal security mechanism.

    This vision took shape under the leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Home Minister, who emphasised the necessity of a strong and adaptable force to meet the evolving security demands of independent India.

    Notably, the CRPF remains the only paramilitary force in India with six all-women battalions. The first of these, the 88 (M) Battalion, was established in 1986 and is headquartered in Delhi. These battalions reflect the force’s commitment to inclusivity and the evolving role of women in India’s security forces.

  • Trump golfs in Scotland as Epstein questions persist

    Source: Government of India (4)

    U.S. President Donald Trump kept a low profile on his Scottish golf course on Saturday, ahead of meetings with top British and European leaders, as questions swirled at home about his ties to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    Trump arrived on Friday on a visit that has triggered protests in Scotland, with hundreds lining the streets of the capital Edinburgh waving placards saying: “NOT MY PRESIDENT.”

    The U.S. leader told reporters on arrival that he would visit his two golf properties in Scotland – one in Turnberry on the west coast where he is playing on Saturday and the other near Aberdeen on the country’s eastern coast. He is also due to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Scottish leader John Swinney and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, whom he called a “highly respected woman.”

    Von der Leyen headed to Scotland on Saturday, ahead of the meeting, with two top U.S. officials flying in from Washington and officials on both sides expressing cautious optimism that a framework trade agreement could be reached.

    Trump will meet with von der Leyen at 1530 GMT on Sunday, the White House said.

    Frustrated by continued questions about his administration’s handling of investigative files related to Epstein’s criminal charges and his 2019 death in prison, Trump on Friday told reporters to focus on bigger issues and other people.

    “You make it a very big thing over something that’s not a big thing,” Trump said. “Don’t talk about Trump. What you should be talking about is the fact that we have the greatest six months in the history of a presidency.”

    Trump, normally a master at changing the subject when a topic stings politically, has been unable to shake off persistent unrest from his usually loyal base about Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019.

    The U.S. president was spotted on the golf course on Saturday morning, but had no public events on his schedule. Reporters and supporters were kept away by enhanced security.

    The White House said Trump was golfing with his son, Eric Trump, and the U.S. ambassador to Britain, Warren Stephens, and his son. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was also on the course.

    White House officials hope some time out of the limelight will allow the Epstein controversy to die down, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

    GAZA CONCERNS

    Away from the golf course, hundreds of anti-Trump protesters gathered outside the U.S. consulate in Edinburgh, with some holding up placards with images of Trump with Epstein. Others in the crowd held pro-Palestinian signs.

    Cat Cutmore, 31, an Edinburgh resident, said she felt compelled to protest Trump’s visit given her deep concerns about the worsening situation in Gaza after 21 months of war and what she sees as the U.S. president’s attacks on democratic principles. She chafed at his warm reception by Scottish and British officials.

    “There comes a point where if you roll out the red carpet to somebody who has put citizens of his own country and people who are seeking asylum into prison camps, you’re complicit,” she said.

    Janet MacLeod Trotter, another Edinburgh resident and an author of historical fiction, said she was particularly angry that Trump was capitalising on his mother’s name, which she shares.

    On the trip, Trump will open a golf course near Aberdeen named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born and raised on a Scottish island before emigrating to the United States.

    “We’re just fed up with the way that he’s using political clout to browbeat people around the world … He’s coming here and using that as a gimmick to help his business interests,” Trotter said.

    Gabriele Negro, an Italian who works at the University of Edinburgh, said he was there to send a signal that he, like others, did not agree with Trump’s immigration policies and stance on Gaza.

    Trump bought the Turnberry property, which includes a hotel and golf course, for $60 million in 2014, in the hope of returning the course to the rotation for the Open Championship, but said his visit was “not about that.”

    It has not hosted the event since 2009 amid concerns about the lack of accommodation and infrastructure for an event that draws hundreds of thousands.

    He landed at Tuticorin Airport at 7:50 p.m., where he was received by Governor R.N. Ravi, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu, and Union Ministers L. Murugan and Ram Mohan Naidu.

    Soon after his arrival, the Prime Minister inaugurated the newly constructed terminal building of Tuticorin Airport, built at a cost of Rs 452 crore. He also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated a range of development projects worth over Rs 4,900 crore. These projects span crucial sectors such as transport, energy, and logistics, reflecting a strong push for infrastructure growth in the state.

    Among the major initiatives unveiled were infrastructure projects worth Rs 550 crore in Tuticorin, power transmission works related to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, and the electrification of the Madurai–Bodinayakkanur railway line.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation on Sunday through the 124th edition of his monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat.

    The broadcast will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will be aired on All India Radio, Doordarshan, and various digital platforms.

    The programme continues to serve as a direct communication channel between the Prime Minister and citizens, covering a wide range of topics related to society, innovation, and nation-building.

    In this edition, PM Modi is expected to share his thoughts on matters of national interest, public welfare, and citizen participation.

    As in previous episodes, the content of the programme is based on ideas, suggestions, and stories shared by people from across the country through platforms such as MyGov and the NaMo App.

    Over the years, Mann Ki Baat has emerged as a platform for highlighting inspiring grassroots-level efforts and encouraging civic engagement in various developmental and social causes.

    Since its inception in October 2014, Mann Ki Baat has been instrumental in raising awareness about key issues such as cleanliness, environmental conservation, digital literacy, and women’s empowerment—often sparking mass movements driven by citizen participation.

    The 124th episode is expected to continue this legacy, showcasing the positive efforts of individuals and communities across India.

    Meanwhile, BJP National President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda will listen to Mann Ki Baat with party workers at a special gathering in New Delhi. The programme will take place at the C-Block Club in Defence Colony at 10:55 a.m., where Nadda will be joined by local booth-level workers.

    The BJP has institutionalised the practice of listening to Mann Ki Baat collectively at the grassroots level, turning it into a regular organisational activity that fosters direct engagement with the Prime Minister’s message.

    This tradition has been consistently followed over the years and serves as both a public outreach initiative and a forum for dialogue among workers, reinforcing the party’s commitment to ensuring that the Prime Minister’s vision and communication reach even the smallest organisational units across the country.

    KHARTOUM, July 27 (Xinhua) — A political coalition led by the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF) announced on Saturday the formation of a parallel government in Sudan, raising fears of further fragmentation of the country already suffering from civil conflict for more than two years.

    “The leadership of the Founding Alliance of Sudan has agreed to appoint Mohammed Hassan al-Taishi as prime minister of the peace government,” the alliance’s spokesman, Alaa El-Din Nugood, said in a televised address broadcast via Telegram.

    According to the statement, RRF commander Mohammed Hamdan Daglo was appointed head of the presidential council, the highest sovereign body in the new government, and PPLM-N leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu was appointed his deputy.

    An anonymous source in the alliance told Xinhua that the SRF received 42 percent of the seats in the parallel government, while the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North received 33 percent. The remaining 25 percent were divided among other groups in the alliance.

    Political analyst Abdel Khalek Mahjoub said the announcement of a parallel government would further complicate Sudan’s political crisis.

    “There are serious concerns that Sudan could face the threat of splitting, given the existence of two governments. This reality worsens the political situation in the country,” he said.

    Having two governments, he said, exacerbates the geographic divide, which could eventually lead to permanent division, as seen in some other countries.

    In February, the RSF signed a founding charter with various political and armed groups, laying the foundation for a parallel government.

    The RSF currently controls most of the Darfur region in western Sudan and part of the Kordofan region.

    Sudan remains locked in a conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RRF, which erupted in April 2023. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions more. –0–

  • MIL-OSI China: Floods can’t stop the fun — China’s ‘Village Super League’ roars back

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China’s renowned “Village Super League,” also known as Cun Chao, has made a triumphant return with a gratitude-themed restart ceremony staged in Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province, on late Saturday, drawing tens of thousands of spectators. The celebration comes after devastating floods weeks ago, when the stadium and much of the county were submerged in floodwaters.

    Four matches, including three friendship matches, were held on Saturday, of which many players from all walks of life contributed to the flood fighting in late June.

    International stars, Roberto Baggio from Italy and Roberto Carlos from Brazil, also showed up during the halftime. “Although China is half a globe away from Europe, here I can feel that the passion for football is exactly the same,” said Baggio on the scene.

    Li Sha, head of the county cultural center and a member of the event’s organizing committee, said that in just one month, Cun Chao is back in full swing. “This would not have been possible without nationwide support.”

    Launched in May 2023, Cun Chao has become one of China’s most prominent grassroots football events. Boosted by the sports event, Rongjiang County, home to a population of 385,000, attracted 7.6 million tourists in 2023 and over 9.4 million in 2024.

    The third season kicked off in early January this year, with over 3,000 players from 108 village teams competing for the champion.

    On June 24 and 28, rain-triggered floods hit the county hard, leading to the suspension of the league. The floods impacted 145,000 people and prompted 92,000 evacuations. Six people were killed.

    GRATEFUL RETURN

    At the ceremony in the newly renovated stadium with donated turf, repaired lighting and rebuilt corridors, a performance titled “Rebirth” reenacted scenes of firefighters, armed police, electricians and medical workers from nationwide joining in the rescue.

    “When floods raged, seeing rescuers from across China made us feel assured,” said 55-year-old Yang Changrong, a performer from the Changba residential community, one of the worst-hit areas.

    Yang recalled that the rescuers worked in extreme heat, carrying supplies by hand where vehicles could not reach. “When exhausted, they simply rested by the roadside. It was heart-wrenching yet inspiring.”

    Figures show that over 30,000 rescuers rushed to aid the county and donations — nearly 80 million yuan (about 11 million U.S. dollars) in funds and 2.2 million relief items — poured in for the disaster relief work.

    Liang Xiaolei attended the ceremony as part of the parade team that participated in the relief efforts.

    The veteran rescuer called Rongjiang’s flood fight an experience that moved him the most. “From elderly folks to schoolchildren, everyone pitched in — cooking meals and clearing rubble,” he said. “Every time we opened the boxed meals and saw the tightly packed food, we felt their care.”

    REBUILDING HOPE

    The restart of the league, a major sign of Rongjiang’s post-disaster recovery, has brought strong hope to people in their efforts to restore normal life.

    As the football matches are back on schedule, hotels are fully booked, and schools have been made available to temporarily accommodate about 6,000 visitors.

    Wearing the iconic yellow costume of the Brazilian national team, He Yufeng from Chongqing Municipality headed to Rongjiang with his family to see Roberto Carlos and watch the matches.

    Also an amateur player, the 37-year-old plays football every weekend in Chongqing. “The atmosphere here is great. I’ll come back to play with my team if I get the chance,” he said.

    Fruit vendor Yan Jiafu, who suffered much economic loss in the floods, reopened his shop after obtaining a 500,000 yuan government-subsidized loan in mid-July. “Cun Chao has brought back our confidence,” he said.

    The county has coordinated with banks to provide financial support and state-owned properties to waive six-month rentals to related businesses. As of Friday, more than 90 percent of some 6,800 affected businesses had reopened.

    After the gratitude-themed restart, Rongjiang will resume the league with full force and host all the delayed matches, said Xu Bo, the county’s Party chief.

    “Bearing gratitude in mind, we will move on, bringing Cun Chao’s passion, vitality and joy to people across the country again,” Xu said.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    The Chinese government has proposed the creation of a global artificial intelligence (AI) cooperation organization, and is tentatively considering establishing its headquarters in Shanghai, Xinhua has learned from sources involved in the matter.

    This is an important move China has made to practice multilateralism and promote a style of global governance that features extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefits, the sources said.

    They also noted that it is a concrete action taken by China in response to the call of the Global South to bridge the digital and intelligence divide, and to promote the inclusive development of AI and the use of AI for good.

    China expects the organization will serve as a platform for countries to deepen cooperation on innovation, promote pragmatic cooperation to fully unleash the unlimited potential of AI, and achieve common development and prosperity, the sources said.

    They said that through this platform, China hopes to assist countries in the Global South to strengthen their capacity-building, nurture an AI innovation ecosystem, ensure that developing countries benefit equally from waves of AI, and promote the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    Further goals for the organization, they said, are to enhance the coordination and alignment of development strategies, governance rules and technical standards among countries, and to gradually form a global framework and international standards for AI governance that have broad consensus, based on full respect for the differences in policies and practices among countries.

    By establishing the organization’s headquarters in Shanghai, China hopes to leverage its advantage in AI — and Shanghai’s advantage, in particular — to boost cooperation, according to the sources.

    They said that China stands ready to discuss relevant arrangements with countries that are willing to join the organization.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Heavy rainfall lashed north China’s Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, causing two deaths and two others missing so far, said local authorities on Saturday.

    Widespread torrential rain has persisted across Inner Mongolia since Wednesday, triggering flooding in several areas.

    In Xilingol League and cities of Ordos and Ulanqab, more than 22,000 people have been relocated. Over 14,000 pieces or sets of machinery, 737 drainage devices and 8,287 sets of rescue supplies have been deployed across the region, according to the regional emergency management department.

    In Fuping County, Baoding City of Hebei, two were killed and two others missing due to the latest round of heavy rainfall starting from Friday.

    For the county, the record-breaking downpour has caused direct economic losses of about 203.5 million yuan (about 28.5 million U.S. dollars).

    As of 6 p.m. Saturday, more than 46,200 people in the county have been affected by the rainstorms. So far, more than 4,600 local residents have been evacuated, according to the county’s flood control and drought relief headquarters.

    From 8:00 a.m. on Friday to 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, precipitation was recorded at 1,854 stations across 12 leagues or prefecture-level areas and 92 banners or counties in Inner Mongolia, with heavy rainfall concentrated in Xilingol League and the cities of Ulanqab, Hohhot and Tongliao, said local meteorological authorities.

    In response, the region has activated Level-IV alerts for flooding and geological disasters and a Level-III alert for rainstorms. Currently, it has also allocated 34,000 items or sets of relief supplies to support its affected areas.

  • MIL-OSI China: Peace and plenty blossom in east China’s revolutionary heartland

    Over eighty years ago, the rolling hills where Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces converge echoed with gunfire as New Fourth Army soldiers repelled Japanese invaders. Today, those same landscapes pulse to a new rhythm: the drumbeat of high-quality development.

    In the verdant hills of Guangde City, Anhui, stands the solemn grave of martyr Zheng Dafang. In a local battle in March 1944, Zheng, then a 23-year-old soldier, sacrificed his life while leading a charge against retreating Japanese invaders.

    The soil once hallowed by his sacrifice now nurtures an advanced manufacturing cluster the young martyr could never have envisioned in his wildest dreams.

    Within the fully automated production facility of Guangde Yatai Automobile Intelligent Braking System Co., Ltd., a smart monitoring platform continuously tracks real-time production metrics while a fleet of over 300 robotic arms operate round-the-clock.

    “Our fully automated process enables us to manufacture brake discs with significant advantages in cost-effectiveness and reliability,” said Wu Xinzhong, general manager of Guangde Yatai.

    The company’s brake disc output surpassed 10 million units in 2024, accounting for approximately one-tenth of the country’s market share, supplying prominent new energy vehicle manufacturers such as Geely and BYD, according to Wu.

    The firm anchors Guangde’s signature automotive ecosystem — a constellation of 77 major parts producers that collectively generated 13.62 billion yuan (about 1.91 billion U.S. dollars) last year.

    From assembly lines to heritage trails, a quiet renaissance is unfolding across the tri-province borderlands. Rural and red tourism now surge alongside advanced manufacturing, drawing vitality from revolutionary legacies and pastoral beauty.

    In Zhejiang’s Changxing County, summer unveils idyllic countryside vistas where general Su Yu’s troops once garrisoned.

    “Weekends are fully booked until September,” said 38-year-old Wang Yunlu, who runs a homestay in Yangfeng Village. “Parents from nearby cities like to bring their kids here to hike the old guerrilla trails, fish the streams, and fall asleep under the same stars the soldiers once watched.”

    Between boutique homestays, teahouses and farm-to-table kitchens, the village has re-invented itself as an experience economy. “Our villagers’ per capita disposable income hit 46,000 yuan in 2024,” said Li Yan, party secretary of the Yangfeng village.

    Across the provincial border into Jiangsu, the city of Liyang operated as the nerve center for New Fourth Army operations throughout Southern Jiangsu during wartime, directing resistance efforts from its Shuixi village headquarters.

    Today, Liyang’s No. 1 Road — winding through densely forested mountains and marked by red, yellow and blue lines — has become one of eastern China’s signature scenic routes.

    This 365 km artery links over 220 rural attractions and connects seven neighboring counties, transforming the landscape into a seamless tourism circuit. Viewing decks, campgrounds and cafes dot the road, enriching traveler experiences.

    By binding once-isolated hamlets, the route has lifted nearly 100,000 villagers into renewed prosperity. In 2024 Liyang welcomed 30 million visitors and generated nearly 35 billion yuan in tourism revenue.

    Better roads and a booming rural-travel market are also giving Liyang entrepreneurs new reasons to return home; to date, 26 returnee projects have secured 5.98 billion yuan in investment.

    “Future initiatives will deepen revolutionary heritage engagement through curated thematic routes,” said Liu Li, deputy director of Liyang’s transportation bureau. “We’re transforming historical legacy into dynamic cultural tourism assets and economic catalysts.”

  • MIL-OSI China: KMT triumphs in recall vote amid growing public discontent with Taiwan’s DPP authorities

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    A recall campaign against 24 legislators of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) in Taiwan failed on Saturday, with none of the proposals receiving more votes in favor of the recall than against it, according to the local election affairs authority.

    Voting took place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday across the island. As ballots were counted after polls closed, the “no” votes consistently outnumbered the “yes” votes in all 24 recall cases, marking a sweeping victory for the KMT in the first round of the large-scale recall campaign.

    A recall vote targeting the suspended mayor of Hsinchu was held the same day and likewise failed to pass.

    The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) currently holds 51 seats in the island’s 113-seat legislature, making it a minority party. Observers believed that although the recall campaign appeared to be initiated by “civil groups,” it was in fact orchestrated by the DPP authorities led by Lai Ching-te, in an attempt to reverse their disadvantage in the legislature through recalls and by-elections.

    “The landslide rejection in the voting is a reflection of public anger toward Lai and the DPP authorities,” said Hsieh Chih-chuan, a current affairs commentator in Taiwan, adding that since taking office, the Lai authorities have persecuted dissenting voices through judicial and other means, while continuously stirring up tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

    The outcome of the votes reflects the latest public sentiment in Taiwan — a clear rejection of the DPP’s attempts to seek “Taiwan independence,” Hsieh said, calling it a “total failure” for the party.

    The result indicates that peaceful cross-Strait relations represent the mainstream will of the people in Taiwan, said Wang Kun-Yih, president of the Taiwan International Strategic Study Society. If the DPP does not change its cross-Strait policy, it risks being abandoned by the public, he noted.

    The second round of recall votes targeting another seven KMT legislators is scheduled to be held on August 23.

    According to local election rules, a recall vote will pass if the number of valid votes in agreement exceeds the number of votes in disagreement. The number of votes in agreement must also equal at least a quarter of the total number of eligible voters in the electoral district.

    Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday discussed mediation efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip during a phone call with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement.

    The two leaders stressed the importance of ensuring the delivery of adequate and appropriate humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

    They also emphasized the necessity of reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.

    Sisi welcomed Macron’s recent announcement of France’s intention to officially recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September, saying that the decision is part of France’s ongoing efforts “to implement the two-state solution.”

    Sisi also reaffirmed Egypt’s support for a French-Saudi initiative aimed at organizing a high-level international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue, scheduled to be held in New York later this month.

    Macron, for his part, expressed his country’s full support for Egypt’s mediation efforts, according to the statement.

    The Israeli military campaign in Gaza since October 2023 have left more than 59,000 Palestinians killed and over 143,000 injured, according to Gaza’s health authorities.

  • MIL-OSI China: Hundreds protest Trump’s visit to Scotland amid heavy security

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Hundreds of people took to the streets of Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday to protest the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump, who is in Scotland for a five-day visit.

    A heavy police presence was maintained outside the Trump Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, as authorities prepared for potential risks, including terrorism-related threats. Sky News reported that Scottish police had requested support from other parts of Britain to bolster security.

    Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said that it would be “inappropriate” to overlook last year’s assassination attempt on Trump while planning security for the visit. She described the operation as one of the most complex and challenging tasks that Scottish police have undertaken in years, with the cost expected to be “significant.”

    A group called “UK Stop Trump Coalition” posted videos on TikTok on Saturday, with one clip captioned, “Aberdeen is filling up with protesters against Donald Trump’s golfing visit.”

    Protesters held signs reading “FELON 47 NOT WELCOME HERE,” referencing Trump’s criminal conviction, and displayed photos of Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein.

    Hundreds of demonstrators gathered near the William Wallace statue in central Aberdeen, where speakers included Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie, climate activists and minority rights advocates, according to local STV News. Protesters also raised concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

    Kirsty Haigh, a member of the “Scotland Against Trump” alliance, told local media that protesters from across Britain had united to oppose Trump and what she called his “politics of division.” She criticized Trump for using Scotland as a place to “cleanse his image.”

    Trump’s five-day visit to Scotland is scheduled to run from July 25 to 29. He is expected to spend time at both the Trump Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire and Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire. During his stay, he will also hold informal meetings with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Scottish First Minister John Swinney.

    CNN reported that Trump’s trip to Scotland comes amid the political scandal over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, describing the visit as a “golf-heavy” escape from political tensions in Washington.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided on Saturday night to temporarily pause Israel’s fighting in Gaza throughout Sunday, Israeli media outlets reported.

    According to Israel’s state-owned Kan TV News, the decision was made after Netanyahu consulted with Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and other senior officials, in response to international pressure on the situation in Gaza.

    Earlier on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that airdrops of humanitarian aid into Gaza will resume later in the night.

    Meanwhile, Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses said airdrops of humanitarian aid resumed over various locations in northern Gaza on Saturday evening.

    The development came amid warnings from humanitarian organizations of a worsening starvation in Gaza, where access to necessities has been severely restricted since Israel closed all crossings to the strip in March.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Overseas products to make it cheaper to build

    Source: New Zealand Government

    From tomorrow, thousands of additional building products including plasterboard, cladding systems, external doors, and windows will all be easier to use in construction sites across New Zealand, Mr Penk says

    Our government is laser focused on economic growth, which drives more jobs and increasing wages. We want to see a construction boom, and this is an important step.

    Quality overseas building products have been given the green light for New Zealand construction, ending costly monopolies on a small number of products that are currently used in New Zealand, Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk says.

    “It is 50 per cent more expensive to build a standalone home in New Zealand than in Australia. That is frankly outrageous. 

    “These changes have the potential to reduce total building costs by thousands of dollars when building a home. 

    “For example, New Zealand has some of the most expensive plasterboard in the world. Kiwis pay around 38 per cent more than Australia for plasterboard, 47 per cent more than the UK, and 67 per cent more than the US for the same products.

    “And 97 per cent of the plasterboard that we must currently use is made by one established company. You may recall that in 2022, when that company ran into difficulty, prices for plasterboard soared and some builders were reported to pay six times the normal amount so they could finish the job.

    “That changes tomorrow.

     

    “This Government is pulling every lever it has to drive economic growth and building materials is one of many areas where a good dose of competition might do the trick.

     

    “There are thousands of well-made, high performing products that have been tested against rigorous international standards but have faced barriers for uptake here, purely because they have not been specifically tested against our own standards. From tomorrow it will be much easier to use plasterboard manufactured in New Zealand, Australia, UK, Europe and the United States.

    “This Government is serious about lowering the cost of building and helping Kiwis into homes faster. 

    “Tomorrow we are releasing the first version of the Building Product Specifications document which lists international standards for products like plasterboard, cladding, windows and external doors.

    “Later this year additional pathways will go live enabling more high-quality building products to be used including over 200,000 plumbing products through the Australian Watermark scheme. 

    “This is just the beginning of our work to open the door to more building products, lower the cost of homes and turbo charge the construction sector and there will be more to come.”

    Notes to editor:

    • The Building Product Specification document will be published on Monday and will be updated over time to include more trusted international product standards:  https://www.building.govt.nz/building-code-compliance/building-product-specifications
    • Standards and specifications contained in the BPS have been assessed to ensure they are equivalent or better than current requirements and won’t alter the level of performance set by the New Zealand Building Code.
    • Two other pathways to enable greater use of overseas building products are being developed: endorsements of overseas standards by the Minister of Building and Construction, and recognition of products certified overseas as complying with New Zealand’s Building Code.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Cindy Rodriguez Singh Added to FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List

    Noel has a history of health and developmental issues, including chronic lung disease, pulmonary edema, and esotropia. He required regular medical appointments and medications, including ophthalmologist and speech therapy appointments, as well as albuterol inhaler medication.

    “Cindy, as the primary adult responsible for Noel’s safety and well-being, failed numerous times to meet his health and developmental needs,” said Kecev.

    Rodriguez Singh has a history of drug and alcohol abuse, which previously prompted the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to place her children into foster care at one point.

    On March 20, 2023, at the request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, officers from the Everman Police Department conducted a welfare check on Noel. Rodriguez Singh claimed Noel was not at the residence and that he had been living with his biological father in Mexico since November 2022.

    But when the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services contacted Noel’s biological father in Mexico, he said he did not have custody of Noel or any type of relationship with him.

    Then, on March 22, 2023—two days after the welfare check—Cindy Rodriguez Singh, along with her husband, Arshdeep Singh, and six children, flew from the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, India. This is the last confirmed sighting of Rodriguez Singh.

    “All airline tickets were purchased within 24 hours of flight departure, and Cindy Rodriguez Singh had unenrolled Noel and his siblings from school,” said Kecev.

    Along with the capital murder charge, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Rodriguez Singh on November 2, 2023, for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Kecev said it is a team effort among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies who have been diligently working to locate Noel.

    “None of us will ever forget Noel, and we will continue to put forth all our effort to one day find justice for him,” said Kecev. “That will include Cindy Rodriguez Singh being apprehended and returned to the United States so she can answer for her alleged crimes. I believe—and I can speak for the investigative team including the state, local, and federal investigators as a unit—that her arrest will play a significant part in locating Noel’s whereabouts.”

    Rodriguez Singh is 40 years old. She was born in Dallas, Texas, and is believed to have ties to India and Mexico. She is between 5’1″ and 5’3″ tall and 120 to 140 pounds, and she has a medium complexion with tattoos on her back, both legs, right arm, right hand, and right calf. She has brown eyes and brown hair. Rodriguez Singh also goes by Cecilia Rodriguez, Cindy Rodriguez, Cindy C. Rodriguez, and Cindy Cecilia Rodriguez.

    If you have any information about Rodriguez Singh, please contact your local FBI office, local law enforcement agency, or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. You can call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the FBI’s Dallas Field Office at 972-559-5000. Tips can also be submitted digitally at tips.fbi.gov.

    ATLANTA – John Woodbury, 35, of Roswell, GA, has been sentenced to seventeen months in prison after pleading guilty to transmitting threats to injure then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.                                       

    “My office has zero tolerance for threats against law enforcement officers,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Threatening to harm public servants who enforce our criminal laws weakens the foundation of our society and will be punished accordingly.”

    “The functioning of our democracy requires that our country’s public servants be able to do their jobs without fearing for their lives,” said FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Paul Brown. “The sentencing of John Woodbury is yet another example of the FBI’s commitment to holding those accountable who threaten public officials.

    According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: On June 7, 2023, Woodbury posted a message on 4chan.org that threatened violence against then-FBI Director Wray. In his message, Woodbury posted Director Wray’s purported home address and wrote: “Let’s show them what a fucking ‘Nazi’ . . . looks like. . . . It’s time to burn these mother fuckers down and hang them from trees. Hit them where it fucking hurts. Hit Chris at his home. Make his family fear stepping one foot outside their god damn door.”   

    Earlier today, United States District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty sentenced Woodbury to seventeen months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Woodbury was convicted of transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, after he pleaded guilty on April 18, 2025.

    This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This international operation was a joint effort by the Tukwila Police Department, FBI Seattle, FBI Legal Attachés Nairobi and The Hague, the DEA Nairobi Country Office, and Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.”

    “The Tukwila Police Department would like to thank the FBI and all the involved federal and international law enforcement partner agencies for their assistance in locating and taking Haji into custody and stand trial for the homicide of Mingyuan Huang,” said Eric Drever, Chief of Police, Tukwila Police Department.

    The operation that ultimately led to Haji’s arrest is part of Summer Heat, the FBI’s nationwide initiative targeting violent crime during the summer months. As part of this effort, the FBI has launched a multi-pronged offensive to crush violent crime. By surging resources alongside state and local partners, executing federal warrants on violent criminals and fugitives, and dismantling violent gangs nationwide, we are aggressively restoring safety in our communities across the country.

    China begins gradual rollout of free preschool education, lifting burden on young families

    BEIJING, July 26 — China is taking concrete steps to introduce free preschool education, as part of broader efforts to ease rising child care costs for young families amid mounting demographic challenges facing the country.

    The move follows a commitment China made during its annual legislative session earlier this year to gradually implement free preschool education nationwide.

    In its latest directive, which was issued on Friday, the central government has urged local governments to draw detailed implementation plans swiftly, and to allocate necessary subsidies.

    It has also emphasized the need to expand preschool infrastructure, raise the salaries and welfare of kindergarten teachers, and improve support for children’s physical and mental well-being.

    The prospect of free preschool has drawn praise from parents. Ms. Tan, a working mother in Beijing whose 3-year-old daughter is set to enter kindergarten this fall, described the policy as a timely “gift.” If fully implemented, she said, it could save her family at least 9,000 yuan (1,260 U.S. dollars) a year.

    Kindergarten costs in China vary widely by region and type. In Beijing, public preschools typically charge less than 10,000 yuan a year, though competition for places can be fierce. Tuition at private kindergartens ranges from a few hundred to several thousand U.S. dollars per month.

    China currently provides nine years of compulsory education, covering primary and middle school. This system, which has been in place since 1986, ensures that all school-age children receive basic education. The ongoing push to make preschool education free is seen as a meaningful step to extend that guarantee to younger children.

    “The policy would reduce the financial burden of childrearing and education further, potentially encouraging more families to have children,” said Song Jian, deputy director of the Population Development Studies Center at Renmin University of China.

    Beyond easing the financial burden on families, education experts said the policy could help bridge disparities in early childhood education between urban and rural areas, and among children from different socioeconomic backgrounds.

    “It gives every child a fairer start in life, laying a stronger foundation for future academic and personal development,” said Gao Bingcheng, an associate researcher at the China National Academy of Educational Sciences.

    According to the latest data from China’s Ministry of Education, there were 253,000 kindergartens nationwide in 2024, at which a total of 35.8 million children were enrolled.

    While kindergarten typically begins at the age of 3 in China, authorities are now also turning their attention to infants and toddlers, who have traditionally been cared for at home.

    As part of a broader effort to support families, the government is ramping up nursery care services for children under 3, aiming to relieve the pressures on working parents and improve early childhood development.

    According to guidelines released in early July which focus on expanding affordable child care, China plans to offer 4.5 child care places per 1,000 people by the end of 2025, adding 660,000 new subsidized places.

    For parents like Tan, the availability of affordable day care for children under 3 is a decisive factor in family planning. “It’s a key consideration in whether or not I have a second child,” she said.

    Thanks to increased government investment, more subsidized nursery spaces and programs are now available, offering families like Tan’s greater access and affordability.
