Stolen car keys VW files criminal complaint against Greenpeace

Status: 23.06.2021 3:09 p.m.

A Greenpeace campaign in which 100 stolen VW keys were brought to the Zugspitze has legal consequences: the Volkswagen Group has filed a criminal complaint against the environmental protection organization. Around a month after the Greenpeace campaign against Volkswagen in the port of Emden, the car manufacturer took action and filed a criminal complaint against Greenpeace. “We do not tolerate any violations of the law”said a VW spokeswoman in Emden. However, she emphasized that VW was still interested in a dialogue with the environmental protection organization. The criminal complaint suggests a change of heart among the Wolfsburgers: Initially, they reacted surprisingly moderately to the Greenpeace campaign at the end of May and initially waived a criminal complaint.

First of all, understanding and loose tweets

In order to protest against what they considered to be the slow change to electromobility at VW, the activists climbed over a fence onto a loading area in the port of Emden and removed the ignition keys from unlocked cars that were ready for shipping overseas. Shortly afterwards, the organization brought the keys to a glacier on the Zugspitze in Bavaria. There she was supposed to pick up VW boss Herbert Diess after her introduction.

Instead of directly filing a criminal complaint, Diess replied loosely on Twitter: “Gladly Zugspitze, but today I can’t manage anymore – I don’t want to use the plane. Coming soon in good weather?” And VW brand boss Ralf Brandstätter expressed understanding in a detailed comment on the action on his LinkedIn profile that “change is not going fast enough for many”.

Investigations are already running ex officio

Theft as part of the climate debate culture? The public prosecutor and the police had already seen it a little differently before the change of heart at VW: They are already investigating ex officio against around a dozen activists on charges of trespassing and particularly serious theft. In order to initiate criminal prosecution, today’s criminal complaint from VW would no longer have been necessary.

Investigations also after Greenpeace action at the EM

Last week, a Greenpeace campaign directed against VW failed at the German national soccer team’s first EM game. Shortly before the game against France kicked off, a paramotor plane staggered over the Munich arena and finally landed on the field. He came dangerously close to the audience, two men had to be hospitalized because of their injuries.

Numerous politicians condemned the action in the strongest possible terms. The police are investigating various offenses under the Criminal Code and the Aviation Act

Amazon On “Prime Day” there is a strike

Status: 21.06.2021 1:11 p.m.

Ironically, during the “Prime Day” discount campaign, a strike is to take place at seven locations of the online retailer Amazon in Germany. In Bad Hersfeld, employees have already stopped working. At the online retailer Amazon, a few hundred employees in Bad Hersfeld went on strike today at the start of the “Prime Day” discount campaign, which is taking place today and tomorrow. The Verdi union called for a strike at seven Amazon locations. In addition to the two logistics locations in Bad Hersfeld, Hesse, these are Werne, Leipzig, Rheinberg, Bad Hersfeld, Koblenz and Graben. The background to the strike is the wage dispute that has been smoldering for years between the union and Amazon. Verdi has been fighting for years to ensure that Amazon employees get a collective agreement and are paid according to the tariff for retail and mail order.

According to Verdi, around 3,300 women and men work across all five shifts in Bad Hersfeld. Since Sunday night they have been called to participate in the action planned until Wednesday. On Monday morning, the union counted around 300 people absent from work.

Group: No impact for customers

“Amazon spends millions on advertising and makes billions of dollars in sales on the days of the campaign. The employees in the shipping centers have to cope with the influx of customers and don’t get a cent for the increased workload,” said Orhan Akman, who is responsible for retail and mail order at Verdi. Amazon said the group does not expect any impact on customers. Amazon already offers “excellent pay, excellent additional services and excellent career opportunities – all in a safe, modern work environment”.

A spokesman pointed out that the starting wages for all employees in the German logistics network would be increased to the equivalent of at least twelve euros gross per hour from July. In autumn 2022, this is expected to rise to 12.50 euros. In addition, Amazon pays a special allowance for overtime, life and disability insurance and contributions to company pension schemes.

“Far from recognition and respect”

Amazon’s payment currently lags behind Verdi’s tariff requirement in retail and mail order, which is 12.50 euros for all employees. The union is harshly criticizing the group: Verdi called the announced increase in starting salaries to twelve euros per hour “cynical and far from recognition and respect”. Amazon behaves “like a landlord” who, when in a good mood, “has a few benefits for his day laborers”. The trade union is demanding that the federal government facilitate the path to generally binding collective bargaining provisions so that all companies in the respective industry are bound by them.

CureVac vaccine not very effective Crash of a Bearer of hope

Status: 06/17/2021 12:31 p.m.

CureVac’s vaccine proves far less effective than hoped, with the biotech company’s stock plummeting. What does this mean for the vaccination campaign and German taxpayers?

From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de

For the company CureVac and its owners, dramatic scenes have taken place in the past few hours. The price of the Tübingen-based company listed on the US technology exchange Nasdaq had already halved in after-hours trading on the US stock exchange on Wednesday. This morning, the CureVac share then rushed in German retail by up to 52.4 percent.

Eight billion euros destroyed on the stock exchange

This destroyed around eight billion euros in market value within a few minutes. This melted down from over 15 to a good seven billion euros. The drastic course reaction shows how surprisingly, despite all previous doubts, such devastating study data as CureVac has now presented, came in the end – and how serious the consequences could be.

On Wednesday night, CureVac announced that its first-generation vaccine candidate was CVnCoV only an effectiveness of 47 percent against a Covid 19 disease of any severity. The company thus missed the intended statistical success criteria for approval.

Completely out of the vaccination campaign?

The study is to be continued, and the degree of effectiveness could change with higher case numbers. However, if the current trend continues, approval is unlikely. In this case, experts say CVnCoV would be a total flop for the company. For the German vaccination campaign, CureVac is therefore canceled until further notice. “According to these study results, it will be extremely difficult for CureVac to play a role at all in the current vaccination campaign”, told LBBW analyst Timo Kürschner tagesschau.de . According to the federal government, the setback for the Tübingen company does not upset the vaccinations in Germany. “This announcement has no effect on the speed of our vaccination campaign”said a spokesman for the federal health ministry.

Other manufacturers are still catching up

Industry observers believe that speed is just as important in vaccine development as it is in drug development. “Late bloomers like CureVac only have a chance if they have a better effect profile or fewer side effects”, explains pharmaceutical expert Kürschner.

“The more time that elapses, the more efficient the production of vaccines that have already been approved will be”says the pharmaceutical expert. “BioNTech & Co. are then more and more able to serve the required delivery quantities.” His conclusion: “We could get to a point where you actually no longer need the CureVac vaccine because the vaccination campaign is already so advanced.”

Hundreds of millions from the federal government

The severe setback for CureVac meanwhile has effects beyond the current vaccination campaign. It meets the German taxpayers – after all, the federal government has a stake of around 16 percent in the company and has supported vaccine development with a special program worth several hundred million euros. It is also a debacle for SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp, who holds almost 50 percent of the shares.

Last but not least, the CureVac price disaster hits the countless private investors who have invested their money in the share. The paper of the company, which is legally based in the Netherlands, has been one of the most traded foreign stocks in the past few weeks on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, where many private investors cavort.

Recently increased warning signs

Recently, there had been more and more indications that the CureVac vaccine could fail for the time being. Even when Health Minister Jens Spahn, according to media reports, deleted CureVac from the federal government’s planning for the current vaccination campaign, this could hardly affect the share.

The high market capitalization compared to rival companies was also a warning sign: Before the current price crash, CureVac had a higher market value than Novavax. The US manufacturer had already reported a Phase III study on Monday, according to which its vaccine had a has a high effectiveness of 90 percent .

Often high risk in the industry

For CureVac and its owners this is now the “Worst case” of a biotech company. At the same time, the CureVac case also shows the general risks facing the industry. Companies in this industry usually have very few active ingredients in their pipeline. If one then fails – for whatever reason – it often has fatal consequences for the entire company.

LBBW expert Kürschner also sees CureVac “a prime example of the risks involved in investing in biotech companies”. However, Kürschner does not fear negative consequences of the CureVac events for the German biotech industry. After all, there is a positive counterexample in the country. “I’m sure: BioNTech’s success story will outshine the rather negative course at CureVac.”

Manufacturers deliver less Vaccination campaign could stall

Status: 16.06.2021 2:47 p.m. In Germany there will be fewer BioNTech cans available next month. Johnson & Johnson is also delivering less than planned. The German vaccination campaign could suffer a setback as a result. The vaccine manufacturer BioNTech will deliver significantly less vaccine to Germany in July than in June. Instead of 5.7 million cans for the last week of June, only 3.2 million cans are planned for the first week of July (KW 27). But there could be no question of a surprising cut, said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health. Rather, BioNTech preferred deliveries in June that were actually intended for later. It was always clear that the delivery volume of the Mainz manufacturer in the third quarter would be around 40.2 million vaccination doses lower than the around 50 million in the second quarter. So far there has only been a clear delivery promise for the first week of July with 3.235 million cans. After that, around 3.3 million doses per week can be expected. That was also communicated to the federal states. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach therefore warns of a setback for the vaccination campaign: “If the BioNTech deliveries fall so sharply, it will be difficult to demonstrate herd immunity before mid-September,” he told the “Spiegel”. At the same time, it is shown that the delta variant is highly infectious and sometimes causes severe disease. “That’s scary,” said Lauterbach.

6.5 million fewer doses from Johnson & Johnson

The US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (J&J) will also deliver significantly fewer vaccine doses than planned. The European Commission expects that J&J will not be able to meet its delivery targets to the EU for the second quarter. The reason for this is a decision by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to which 17 million doses of the vaccine cannot be used in the EU for safety reasons after cases of contamination have occurred in a US plant. The group will therefore probably not reach its delivery target of 55 million cans by the end of June, says a commission spokesman. So far, only around twelve million cans have been delivered. The Federal Ministry of Health estimates that J&J will be able to deliver around 6.5 million fewer doses to Germany than planned by the end of June because of the breakdown. “That is unfortunate, because every vaccine counts,” said a spokeswoman. The ministry expects the missing quantity to be replenished in July.

Waiting for Sputnik and Curevac

The Germans will probably have to wait even longer for the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, because, according to government circles, approval will be postponed “probably to September, maybe even to the end of the year”. The reason is that the Russian manufacturer has not yet submitted the necessary clinical trial data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the news agency Reuters learned from government circles. The clinical dossier was supposed to be available by June 10th. The Russian state fund RDIF, which sells Sputnik V, described the information as incorrect. All the necessary data on the clinical studies have been submitted and received positive comments. Initially, no comments were received from the EMA. The vaccine from Curevac is also not yet available. The vaccine from the Tübingen company, once praised as a bearer of hope, is still not approved. The Federal Ministry of Health has therefore canceled the delivery of 1.4 million vaccine doses originally planned for the current second quarter. According to health expert Lauterbach, the delay in approval could indicate that the effectiveness of the Curevac vaccine is not looking good.

Moderna delivers a little more

Meanwhile, there are increasing complaints about the shortage of vaccines – from company doctors, general practitioners and some vaccination centers. The calls from some prime ministers for more vaccine also persist – while millions of Germans are still waiting for an initial vaccination. There is positive news from Moderna: The US manufacturer will increase its delivery volume compared to June, from 622,000 to 733,000 cans per week. In addition, Schleswig-Holstein is giving part of the AstraZeneca vaccine provided by Denmark to Hamburg. Thanks to the delivery, at least 8,000 new appointments can be made in the vaccination center in the megacity since today. The neighboring state does not manage to use the cans from Danish stock in time before the expiry date at the end of June.

Do not prolong social distancing on a large scale Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc said that currently, 7 enterprises (enterprises) in industrial parks (IZs) in the city have Covid-19 cases. Most of the places only have 1-2 cases, with no signs of spreading to other places. In which, 2 enterprises have similar characteristics (seafood processing, workers work together in a cold and closed environment) so the number of cases is larger with 6 and 11 cases… People’s Committees of wards and districts Districts with cases have suspended non-urgent services, stopped accepting in-person applications, only accepting online applications. Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son, Head of the Special Department of the Ministry of Health in Ho Chi Minh City, said the city will set up about 100 delegations to inspect all factories and enterprises operating in the industrial park. Large factories and enterprises need to have a plan to arrange for the core workers to live in the industrial park or have a closed process from accommodation, dormitories, transportation to the factory to work, live and take them to work. about. Ho Chi Minh City has prepared a treatment plan for 5,000 patients, but must be ready with equipment to treat patients on ventilators who have severe symptoms. Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son inspects the preservation of 836,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine at the Pasteur Institute’s cold storage in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of June 17 Photo: HAI YEN After receiving 836,000 doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine, Mr. Duong Anh Duc said that Ho Chi Minh City had a meeting to plan to identify priority subjects and injection plans; strive to inject for 200,000 people/day, expected from June 19; at the same time, increasing testing capacity to 30,000 samples/day. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a big city; The government and people have gone through the practical process of fighting the epidemic. Therefore, decisions on social distancing, isolation and blockade must be in the spirit of trying to be as concise as possible. The purpose of social distancing is to slow down the spread of the epidemic, identify outbreaks, sources of infection, and scale in order to narrowly, tightly, and strive not to prolong the extension. society on a large scale. The Deputy Prime Minister asked Ho Chi Minh City to “keep the balance” of the IP with strong measures. Ho Chi Minh City needs to strengthen testing and warning to quickly detect infections in the first 3 days, with lessons learned in fighting epidemics like in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that although Ho Chi Minh City’s testing capacity is very good compared to other localities, with a population of 10 million and many industrial zones, the city must have a plan to increase testing capacity in the event of an outbreak. in the industrial park. In particular, the coordination of testing must ensure consistency among participating units, meeting the sampling and tracing speed to catch up with the epidemic’s spread. Absolutely do not let the test situation be delayed or mistaken due to the coordination as happened in some places. If infection is detected in factories and enterprises in industrial zones, Ho Chi Minh City should pay close attention to the densely packed worker accommodation areas when zoning, isolation and blockade are implemented. The Deputy Prime Minister requested that in the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City urgently needs to complete the pilot guidance on isolating F1 cases at home, ensuring strict safety in terms of health as well as people’s privacy, in accordance with the law. conditions of the city in the case of a large number of infected people. Mobilization of many vaccination forces At the inspection of the preservation of 836,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine that has just been transported to the cold storage of the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of the same day, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that in the next 2 days, Ho Chi Minh City will open 1,000 Covid-19 vaccination points for people. “Distributed by the Government and the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Immunization, in this batch, Vietnam imported 966,300 doses of vaccine for the whole country, of which 836,000 doses were transported to Ho Chi Minh City” – Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said. The Ministry of Health has completed the script and in the next 2 days will finalize the script to discuss with the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City and the City Steering Committee to be ready to deploy at vaccination points. This vaccination campaign will take place in about 5-7 days. “To carry out this vaccination campaign, we not only mobilize the medical force in Ho Chi Minh City, but we also mobilize the forces at the central level, ministries and branches in the city. A number of military hospitals and hospitals Police force institutes, military preventive medicine institutes will also participate in this campaign,” said Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son. With the principle and spirit of quick vaccination in the campaign but still must ensure absolute safety for those who participate in vaccination, Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that the vaccine injected in this batch is AstraZeneca’s, the deadline The use is still relatively long, ensuring the safety of the vaccination campaign of Ho Chi Minh City. “Hopefully in the next round, the provinces that are facing great difficulties during this epidemic such as Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Binh Duong, Tien Giang … will receive the vaccine to give priority to the whole production force which is workers. to ensure safety in production” – Deputy Minister of Health expressed.

Soviet polar explorer at the NP-8 ice station. Photo: Sputnik On May 28, 1962, two Americans parachuted from the B-17 “Flying Fortress,” landing at Severny Polyus-8 (also known as North Pole-8, or NP-8), a research station destroyed abandoned Soviet Union is drifting on an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean. This was the starting point of one of the CIA’s most unusual operations, which went down in history with the codename Operation Coldfeet. Hunting for Soviet ice stations An iceberg station was only useful to Soviet polar explorers until the moment the iceberg on which it rested began to disintegrate. At that time, the scientists will be urgently evacuated and the abandoned station will continue to drift across the ocean until it is completely destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the US Department of Navy’s Office of Naval Research conducted a real manhunt for abandoned Soviet ice stations. It is believed that in those places are installed sonar detectors of US submarines. Initially, the CIA’s target was station NP-9, discovered by a reconnaissance plane in May 1961. However, this mission stalled and the ice station was pushed too far into the ocean. A tow truck rescues a car mired in snow at a Soviet observation post on an iceberg in the Arctic. Photo: Getty Images In the spring of 1962, about 970 km from Candian Air Force Base in Resolute Bay, another abandoned iceberg station, NP-8, was unexpectedly discovered. It is an opportunity not to be missed. However, American icebreakers could not make their way through the dense ice in the area, helicopters could not reach the location, and it was too dangerous for an aircraft to land on a disintegrating “buoy”. So the CIA decided to drop the agents by parachute. But the question then is how to bring them back. Ultimately, officials decided to use a system that specialized in evacuating CIA agents from hostile territory known as the ‘Skyhook’ developed by Robert E. Fulton in the late 1950s. The system required a a bread-shaped, helium-filled balloon, a 150-meter extension cord and a low-altitude aircraft. Lockheed P-2 Neptune reconnaissance aircraft. Photo: RBTH When they needed to get out of the location, CIA agents would use helium cylinders to inflate their personal balloons, tie one end of the rope to it, and wrap the other end around them. The balloon will rise into the air, and the rescue plane will use special forks to reach for the rope, then release the balloon. The rope was then wound onto a winch and lifted the agents onto the plane. The rescue Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper who is fluent in Russian, and his colleague, Lieutenant Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, spent three days researching the NP-station- 8. They parachute down to the station with some necessary equipment boxes. As expected by the Americans, the Soviet scientists rushed to leave the NP-8 station without taking all the equipment with them. CIA agents unearthed more than 80 documents, collected fragments of equipment left behind by the Soviets, and took about a hundred pictures. Soviet Arctic Station 9. Photo: Sputnik By the time it was designated to evacuate, the weather at station NP-8 had deteriorated dramatically: Visibility had plummeted and icy winds were rushing in. Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that rescued the agents, recalls: “I was immediately thrown into a situation that could have been imagined as if I was flying through space.” The aircraft collected the “trophies” using the ‘Skyhook’ system without much difficulty, but with humans it was even more difficult. The wind dragged LeSchack nearly 100 meters above the ice as he waited for evacuation by trying to anchor himself to a block of ice. Even after the plane had picked up, LeSchack spent another 10 minutes dangling in the icy air before being hoisted onto the plane.

Photo: RBTH After observing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and grabbed hold of an abandoned Soviet tractor. In the end, he was lifted without any particular difficulty. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the study of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, they obtained evidence that the Russians were using sonar equipment to detect American submarines in the Arctic. “Overall, the Soviet Union’s remarkable achievements in iceberg stations reflect their long experience in this field and the great importance their government places on it,” said Operation Commander, Captain John Cadwalader noted.

Chairman of the Corporation Chamnan Srisawat told the page ttgasia : “The current wave of Covid-19 infections may affect the final decision. But when we have been suffering from a pandemic for 15 months now, only mass tourism can save us.” Officials in Phuket have placed tight restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and are speeding up vaccinations to achieve herd immunity by the end of next month. Phuket is now close to the goal of vaccination against Covid-19 for 70% of its residents so that it can open its doors to foreign tourists. Locals say they are ready to welcome tourists on July 1 as planned. In 2019, Thailand welcomed nearly 40 million visitors, generating about $60 billion in revenue. Photo: livingnomads.com The tourist island of Phuket is expected to reopen and welcome international visitors from July. Thus, Phuket will be the first locality of Thailand to reopen, followed by 10 other destinations in October. Under this plan, travelers in low-risk countries who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to fly directly to Phuket without the need for a 14-day quarantine. It is forecasted that in 2021, Phuket will only welcome about 500,000 visitors, much less than the 6.7 million arrivals in the first months of 2020. Before the Covid-19 epidemic, 2019, Thailand welcomed nearly 40 million. visitors, generating about 60 billion USD in revenue. Currently in Phuket there are about 70,000 accommodation rooms. Mr. Chamnan Srisawat expects about 1 million room nights sold in July, bringing in about 40 billion baht ($1.28 billion) to the hotel and service industry. Mr. Chamnan Srisawat added: “In preparation for the reopening of Phuket, we have discussed with major suppliers and travel agents. They are all ready to help.” Phuket is an attractive destination of the Thai tourism industry.

The apology was made by Prime Minister Prayuth after the Thai public expressed displeasure over the slow implementation of the vaccination campaign. Prime Minister Prayuth said that despite ordering a large number of vaccines, the Thai government has only received a small amount of the vaccine. Vaccines are now concentrated in large vaccination points, with faster vaccination rates, where almost all of the vaccines they are distributed are used up. Although Thailand has been transferred technology, the production of a vaccine takes a long time, not to mention the quality control procedures, which every country has to face, Prime Minister Prayuth said.

In addition, vaccination is currently focused on the most vulnerable populations in high-risk outbreak areas in the Thai capital, in order to prevent the disease from spreading, as well as to maintain the operation of health facilities. factory. This affects those who have already signed up for vaccinations, Prime Minister Prayuth acknowledged. In addition, Prayuth also said that the vaccination campaign involved many organizations, and the lack of harmony in the coordination process also affected the speed of vaccination deployment. The Thai government has ordered 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, with plans to vaccinate 50 million people, or 70% of the population, this year. Prime Minister Prayuth said Thailand’s goal is to buy enough vaccines to raise vaccination rates to 80-90%.

Warning: Hackers take advantage of the Covid-19 epidemic to spread malicious code. Illustration Taking advantage of the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic in many countries around the world and even in Vietnam, hacker groups have opened many cyberattack campaigns through fake emails with documents containing malicious code. , with titles and content related to the Covid-19 epidemic to trick users into opening documents. As noted by experts of CyRadar Information Security Joint Stock Company, the hot topic of the Covid-19 epidemic and the Covid-19 vaccine has continued to be exploited by many hacker groups in their campaigns to defraud Vietnamese users. Nam through the form of sending fake emails with attached document files containing malicious code. Specifically, two cyberattack campaigns in the form of sending fake emails with attached documents related to the Covid-19 epidemic, including “Jam Gia Dien dich Covid-19.docx” and “Covid-19– Vaccines.xlsm”. The above docx and xlsm file formats, according to experts’ analysis, have malicious code installed. When the user opens the document file, the malicious code will penetrate the computer, allowing the remote hacker to control the computer through commands. From there, hackers can also order to download many other malicious codes, steal data, passwords, screenshots… Currently, as noted by CyRadar, the number of cases where users are tricked into downloading and opening fake documents related to the Covid-19 epidemic and the Covid-19 vaccine are not many. However, in the context of a complicated epidemic and a growing remote working model, experts predict that in the coming time, there may be more hacker groups that continue to take advantage of the Covid-19 epidemic to attack scams. user island. Therefore, in addition to recommending the use of protection software, experts also recommend that organizations, businesses and users need to be careful and consider carefully when downloading email attachments.

People wait for their turn to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in Beijing. Photo: AP According to CNBC, within just 5 days of May, China injected 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to its people. Health officials hope to be able to vaccinate 80% of its 1.4 billion population by the end of 2021. As of June 2, China has injected a total of over 704 million doses of vaccine, of which half were administered in May. The total number of doses of COVID-19 vaccine that China has given to the population accounts for about one-third in one. ,9 billion doses of vaccine are distributed globally. The call to vaccinate is from all walks of life. Companies inject workers, schools urge students and teachers to immunize, local authorities urge people to vaccinate. According to Our World in Data, in 7 days, China is injecting an average of 19 million doses per day.

Photo: THX/VNA On May 30, Zhong Nanshan, the head of an expert group of the National Health Commission of China, said that 40% of the Chinese population has been vaccinated with at least one dose, and the government’s goal is to fully immunize all patients. this number at the end of June. In the capital Beijing, 87% of people have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination in Beijing is easy because there are hundreds of vaccination service points throughout the city. Vaccination buses are parked right in crowded areas such as city centers and commercial centers. However, vaccination in other areas is not as easy as in the capital. Ms. Zhou Hongxia, a resident of Lanzhou, Gansu province, said: “I started waiting in line for the injection at 9am and didn’t get the injection until 6pm. It’s tiring. When I returned, there were still people waiting.” Ms. Zhou’s husband couldn’t even schedule a vaccination. On May 31, government officials said they were working to ensure the supply of COVID-19 vaccine is distributed more evenly. Not only focusing on inoculating people in the country, China also injects its citizens abroad when donating vaccines to Thailand, part of which is used to vaccinate the Chinese before giving them to Thai people. Globally, China has injected more than 500,000 citizens abroad. Before the domestic vaccination campaign accelerated in recent weeks, many Chinese people were in no hurry to get vaccinated because China had almost no cases in the community thanks to tight border controls and mandatory isolation. Recently, China has appeared many small clusters of infection and is suppressing the cluster in Guangzhou. According to analysts, despite the uneven distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Chinese manufacturers have hardly had problems with the scale of production. Both companies that produce most of the COVID-19 vaccines being used in China, Sinovac and Sinopharm, have drastically increased production, built new factories and converted existing factories to produce COVID-19 vaccines. .

Photo: THX/VNA Vaccines from Sinovac and one from Sinopharm have been approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization. “Where in the world can match China in terms of construction speed? How long does it take China to build field hospitals? Just a few days.” Sinovac said it has doubled production capacity to 2 billion doses/year, while Sinopharm said it can produce 3 billion doses/year. From the beginning of the year to the end of May, Sinovac produced 540 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Government support is crucial for vaccine manufacturers at every stage. Sinopharm said that right from the start of the vaccine research, it had borrowed a laboratory at a government research center. Chinese vaccine companies largely do not depend on imported products in the production process, so the scenario of shortage of raw materials and ingredients like the Serum Institute in India should be avoided. As of June 4, China had 91,194 cases of COVID-19, of which 4,636 died.

Each of such centers has the capacity to administer 40,000 doses of vaccination per day. The Government will also conduct training and training for doctors and nurses to perform vaccinations, stemming from the fact that some vaccines need different handling and storage methods and are different from conventional vaccines. Mr. Jamaluddin also said that the supply of vaccines will increase in the near future, so the government will mobilize manpower from hospitals and private medical centers to voluntarily participate in the vaccination campaign. According to Jamaluddin, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s government is also expected to set up mobile vaccination centers at roads to vaccinate people.

Fragments from the submarine were found during a search operation. When the submarine of the Indonesian navy carried 53 divers into the Bali Sea during a periodic training exercise, it may have been pulled into the abyss by an invisible but powerful force. Indonesian naval officials suspect an inner wave, known to have occurred in the waters around Bali, could have caused the sinking of the KRI Nanggala 402. (According to Britannian Dictionary: Side Wave) in, a kind of gravity wave that occurs on internal “surfaces” in ocean waters). The KRI Nanggala 402 sank to a depth of 838 meters, far beyond the reach of the rescuers. As the crew members’ personal belongings surfaced and the ship’s oxygen supplies dwindled, officials said there was no possibility of anyone surviving. The question remains: What happened? Many theories have been put forward but the authorities say there is evidence that an underwater wave – which could induce a vertical tensile force below sea level – occurred in the Bali Sea around the time. The submarine disappeared last Wednesday morning. The Lombok Strait between the islands of Bali and Lombok is believed to be famous for its violent underground waves on an almost bi-weekly basis. NASA, the US space regulator, says the combination of strong tidal currents, rough ocean floor and water exchange between two channels – one shallow and one deep – “tends to combine around 14. once a day for exceptionally strong tidal currents. Indonesian naval officials believe this natural phenomenon is more likely to be the explanation for the submarine disaster than other theories have been put forward in recent days. The waves inside are barely discernible on the ocean’s surface, but underwater, they can reach towering heights. The waves inside can look like ripples on the ocean’s surface, like this satellite image taken by NASA in 2013. (Wikimedia Commons: NASA) Rear Admiral Muhammad Ali, former commander of the KRI Nanggala 402, and now the Indonesian navy planning and budgeting assistant, said an internal wave was essentially “a strong electric current that can pull a submarine. vertically so it will sink faster than usual. ” “Our suspicions were directed towards natural conditions. Because an undercurrent appeared at that time in the north of Bali,” he told Indonesian media. Naval officials said images from Japan’s Himawari 8 satellite, as well as Europe’s Sentinel satellite, showed massive underwater waves coinciding with the sinking of the KRI Nanggala 402. . “It moves from the bottom to the north and there is a groove between the two waves,” said Rear Adm. Iwan Isnurwanto, Commander of the Indonesian Navy Command and General Staff School. “The wave speed is about two knots and the amount of water is about two to four million cubic liters.” Admiral Iwan explained that an inner wave could render the crew powerless in the face of nature. “Once the water swept along and pushed the ship down, what else could we do? There is no safety measure that can fix that.” Other theories about what happened to the submarine have also emerged. Some suggested that this submarine was hit by a missile from a foreign ship, or even lost power. But naval officials said the submarine was still trackable when it began diving for torpedo drills and “the lights were on” – meaning there was only a small chance of power outages. They also denied that the ship was overloaded, a theory that had 53 crew members on board but only 34 beds, instead arguing that the crew was divided into three shifts and took turns sleeping. “The submarine was originally for 33 staff members, then modernized to meet our need to have 50 staff on board,” said Admiral Iwan. Officials said the submarine was also designed to carry eight torpedoes – weighing about a ton each – but only four at the time of the disaster. Many other experts point out that metal fatigue due to cracking or corrosion and that the age of the parts is the more likely cause. KRI Nanggala 402 was built in 1978 and last overhauled in 2012, almost a decade ago.

Samsung also said that the battery of the old phone will be optimized to increase the uptime when the device has a new “life”. Innovative reuse is a method of reducing technology waste that is still relatively new compared to traditional ways such as giving away, returning the company or reselling. With this project, technology brands from Korea are expected to contribute to encouraging users to take advantage of old smartphones in everyday life, and help promote more of its technology ecosystem. Even so, according to technology site Ars Technica, despite its good environmentalism, the Upcycle program only allows the reuse of light and sound sensors. In fact, spontaneously, users have been devising many initiatives to reuse old phones, such as converting them into security cameras, data storage hard drives or music players.

The 46-year-old seems to have just woken up, but almost every day, he gets up from sunrise. His job is one of the most important and difficult in the world. As the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Deputy Head of Immunization Team (UNICEF), Schreiber is responsible for ensuring that 2 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine reach people in the poorest countries, the most distant. In an online meeting with colleagues in Germany, Panama and Haiti, Schreiber discussed his “headache” for the day: The situation is stagnant in two countries. Countries that buy the most Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: Duke Global Health Innovation Center Referring to a country where outsiders are difficult to reach, Schreiber said: “It is not clear how things are going”. In the remaining country – Haiti, the first potential vaccine shipment has been delayed. The vaccination team appears to be ready, but political and social issues are hindering shipping. Fuel in Haiti is expensive, roads are poor, budgets are miscalculated. Many people do not believe in Western aid, others do not understand Covid-19. There are discussions like this every day Schreiber. On a small scale, it often involves questions about the proper way to cool vaccines, about ingenuity in dealing with governments. However, at the core of the matter has always been global justice. The new strain corona virus has spread to every continent and infected at least 128 million people. It has ruined economies and destroyed families. Up to now, a global medical emergency has been in effect for more than a year. Citizens in some developed countries have been protected from the corona virus and many others in Africa, Asia and Latin America are still waiting to be vaccinated. Carrying vaccines to remote areas in Nepal. Photo: SPIEGEL To date, nearly 600 million doses of the vaccine have been used around the world. However, nearly two-thirds of them are used in six countries. About 60% of Israelis, less than half of Britons and one-tenth of Germans have been vaccinated at least once. In Namibia, where a population of more than 2 million people, less than 1,500 people have been vaccinated. In some other countries, no one has been vaccinated yet. Earlier this year, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of a “moral disaster”. An effort has been made to prevent that disaster. A global mechanism, called COVAX, was born to support the equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines to countries. WHO launched the initiative a year ago and a vaccine consortium called GAVI and the Alliance for Pandemic Readiness Innovation (CEPI) also joined. Almost every country in the world participates in COVAX. Many countries and regions have attempted to smooth the infection curve of Covid-19. Photo: John Hopkins University COVAX’s goal is that 92 of the poorest member countries get vaccines as fast as 98 rich countries. The rich countries pay more for the initiative and the poorest countries get discounts or free vaccinations, with each country vaccinating a fifth of its population by the end of the year. It is UNICEF’s responsibility to ensure that vaccines reach their destination. The new strain corona virus is constantly changing. Most changes do not affect the degree of danger posed by the virus, but some mutations, like the strains that occurred in Brazil and the US, do. And the more the number of countries experiencing uncontrolled outbreaks, the more likely the world will have to deal with the next mutation. So how do you vaccinate those most threatened, such as the elderly, the sick, and health care workers around the world? How can COVAX achieve its ambitious goals? Graph of increasing Covid-19 cases among countries. Photo: Bloomberg A group of German magazine Der Spiegel reporters have followed the vaccine around the world. They went to vaccine factories in India, to warehouses in Copenhagen, Denmark. It all goes to the end: The vaccine is delivered to health workers in Malawi, who received their first shot in March. The reporters also witnessed a German at a kindergarten. in the US to plan vaccine distribution. Schreiber has been with UNICEF for 8 years. His biggest challenge last year, he said, was preparing nations for a short period of time. COVAX’s goal is to ship about 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of this year, corresponding to about 850 tons of vaccine per month and 1 billion syringes. Thousands of cooling boxes have to be transported to the most remote corners of the world by jeeps, boats, drones and even donkeys. Even in normal years, UNICEF vaccinates nearly every child around the world. However, UNICEF has never faced a global pandemic. The Republic of Seychelles is currently leading the world because there are enough vaccines for 63.1% of the population. Photo: Bloomberg. Immunization campaigns are usually planned many years in advance, but this time only a few months. Vaccine recipients are diverse, some have been successful, some have failed, some have only a few hundred thousand people, some have more than a billion. Countries were asked by UNICEF to explain in writing how they intend to manage the logistics of vaccinations. Schreiber read over 100 of these lengthy plans, mostly twice. He corrects and makes suggestions for improvements. Most of the time, things go well, but sometimes it doesn’t. The governments of Tanzania, Eritrea and Madagascar are still debating that Covid-19 is a dangerous disease. However, the effort paid off. On February 24, the first shipment of COVAX landed in Ghana. The first shipment to Haiti is also planned. By the end of March, UNICEF had distributed 20 million doses of the vaccine to 47 countries.

Search helicopters and many other ships left Bali and a naval base in Java headed for the area out of contact with the KRI Nanggala-402 on April 21 as she prepared to conduct a torpedo exercise. . If the submarine was still intact, officials said it would only have enough air for the crew members to survive until around dawn April 24. “So far we have not found it … but with existing equipment we can find the location,” – Achmad Riad, a spokesman for the Indonesian army, said during a press conference. An Indonesian air force pilot said six tons of equipment had been moved to a base to help with the search, including an underwater hot air balloon to help lift the ship. One of the Indonesian military ships involved in the search for the submarine – Photo: Reuters The Indonesian navy said it was investigating whether the submarine lost power when submerged and could not perform emergency procedures when it sank to a depth of 600-700 meters, exceeding the allowable limit. The Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy – Yudo Margono said an object with “high magnetic force” was found “floating” at a depth of 50-100 meters and an earlier aerial search had detected a trace. The oil spills near the location where the submarine last caught the signal. Navy spokesperson Julius Widjojono said the diesel-electric submarines can withstand depths of up to 500 meters but surpassing this threshold can kill people inside. The Bali Sea can reach a depth of more than 1,500 meters. One of the men on board was the commander of the Indonesian submarine fleet, Harry Setiawan. The submarine was commissioned into the Indonesian fleet in 1981 and underwent refitting in Korea, completed in 2012. It was said to be in good condition before meeting, the Defense Ministry said. accident. Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore and the US have sent special ships or aircraft to respond to Indonesia’s request for assistance. The US military is sending a P-8 Poseidon to assist with the submarine search. The Pentagon said US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Indonesian counterpart and offered additional assistance, which may include navigating underwater search equipment. Two Australian Navy ships are also heading to the search area including a frigate with special sonar scanning capabilities. Indonesia operates five submarines – 2 German-made Type 209s and three newer Korean ones.

Lunana is a remote and isolated land in Bhutan. This place is twice the size of New York City, including glaciers, some of the highest peaks in the world and not reachable by car. Even so, almost everyone living here has been vaccinated against Covid-19. A monk is vaccinated at a school in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, on the first day of the vaccination campaign. Photo: AFP The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine batch arrived last month by helicopter and was given injections by medical staff across the ice and snow to each village. “I was given the first shot to prove to others in the village that the vaccine was not fatal and safe. Then everyone got it,” said Pema, the village chief in Lunana. The Lunana campaign is part of a silent vaccination story in one of Asia’s poorest countries. On April 17, Bhutan, a kingdom that cares more about the happiness of its people than the nation’s prosperity, injected the first vaccine to more than 478,000 people, accounting for about 60% of the population. The Health Department said this month that more than 93% of eligible adults received the first shot. Helicopters deliver the vaccine to the remote mountains of Bhutan. Photo: Ministry of Health of Bhutan Most of Bhutan’s first Covid-19 vaccinations were vaccinated to people during the last week of March and the first weeks of April. On April 17, the country’s vaccination rate was 63 shots per 100 people. , ranked 6th in the world in immunization rates. Immunization rates in Bhutan are even ahead of the UK and US, seven times higher than neighboring India and nearly six times higher than global vaccination rates. Bhutan is also ahead of other geographically isolated countries with small populations, such as Iceland and the Maldives. Dasho Dechen Wangmo, Bhutan’s Health Minister, has contributed to this success by effectively implementing “leadership and direction” from the king, erasing people’s hesitations to vaccinate and promoting a The health care system “enables people in the most remote parts of the country to also receive needed services”. “As a country with a population of just over 750,000, a two-week campaign to vaccinate its citizens is possible. Despite some minor logistical problems we were able to deal with. “, Mr. Dechen Wangmo said. Peace Guardians All of these vaccines have so far been funded by the Indian government, produced at the Indian Serum Institute – the world’s largest vaccine production center. The government of Bhutan plans to give the population a second dose of vaccine 8 to 12 weeks after the first vaccination, according to the instructions for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Will Parks, Bhutan’s representative at UNICEF, said the first vaccination series was “a success” with participation from “top authorities to the local community”. The campaign was successful in part based on a team of volunteers, also known as the Peace Guardians, who worked under the direct direction of King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. In Lunana, eight volunteers set up field tents and helped transport oxygen cylinders from village to village, said Karma Tashi, a member of the government’s four-man vaccination team there. These oxygen cylinders are prepared to prevent the vaccinated person from having a disturbing reaction after the vaccination. To save time, Tashi said, the team had vaccinated during the day and walked at night, usually working 10-14 hours a day. According to Mr. Tashi, some people do not want to get vaccinated because they are busy with the crop or are concerned about a response after the vaccination, but after being convinced by the volunteers about the benefits of vaccination, everyone agrees Italy. On April 12, 464 out of 800 people in Lunana received the first shot of the vaccine. The population here includes a small number that do not qualify for the vaccine. No exception Medical care in Bhutan, an isolated country slightly larger than the US state of Maryland and bordering Tibet, is completely free. From 1960 to 2014, the average life expectancy of Bhutanese people doubled to 69.5 years old. The immune rate in recent years in this country is above 95%. People in Thimphu wear masks when going out on the street. Photo: AP However, Bhutan’s health system is barely self-sufficient as patients in need of special care are often sent to India or Thailand for government-paid treatment, Yot Teerawattananon, said a medical economist at the National University of Singapore. The Bhutan Government Committee will meet once a week to decide which patients need to be sent abroad for treatment. “I don’t think they can cope with the increase in the number of severe Covid-19 cases if that happens. So prioritizing vaccination is important,” the expert said. Bhutan currently records less than 1,000 Covid-19 cases and only 1 death. The country’s borders, which have been tightened by global standards even before the pandemic, have been closed for a year with almost no exception, with anyone coming on quarantine for 21 days. Even the country’s Prime Minister Lotay Tshering, who received his first shot last month, was quarantined after returning from a visit to Bangladesh./.

From a letter from a veteran

It is very dangerous to carry out this task for the flight crews, having to fly in the enemy’s control area at low altitudes to avoid detection radar, so it is easy to have accidents such as crashing into mountains or having fire. No, but the crew members were still determined to carry out the mission, they considered those flights as suicide flights. And in the end, 4 flights with 32 soldiers left without returning … But in the hearts of relatives and teammates, they were still alive.

One day at the beginning of June 2005, the Air Defense and Air Force Air Force received a letter to the Commander. The letter of Mr. Lai Van Vuong at 91 – Me Linh, Le Chan district (Hai Phong city). Mr. Vuong was formerly a soldier of Division 324 – for a long time he fought in the western part of Thua Thien – Hue. Mr. Vuong said that during his return visit to the old battlefield in May 2005 in A Luoi region (a mountainous district of Thua Thien-Hue province close to the Vietnam-Laos border) he happened to know a story about a The most likely plane of mine crashed in the woods near Hong Thuong commune. According to the Pa Ko ethnic people, when the plane crashed about 1965-1966 something, the body of the flight crew collected was buried in that forest by some ethnic minorities.

Mr. Vuong also said that at the house of Mr. Nguyen Xuan Toan in Hong Thuong commune, A Luoi district, he still retains some artifacts of the plane mentioned above. As for the graves, decades earlier, they were still at the old place in the cold wilderness, no one came to visit, nor did any gathering come to find and pick it up.

Mr. Vuong also carefully took some photos with his automatic machine, when he returned he made photos and sent 5 photos with the letter to add bases, including a photo of Mr. Toan standing beside the machine. fly at home. Mr. Vuong said that it is very likely that this is our plane that crashed in the war without anyone knowing.

He wrote the above letter in the hope that such information would help the Air Defense – Air Force verify and if true, it is possible to find out the name of the flight crew and bring them back to their homeland.

In 1968, after the 4 flight crews did not return, the Air Defense – Air Force sent an dispatch to all units, provinces and cities to request coordination in searching and informing help, looking forward to finding an whereabouts. The planes went missing, but the incident fell silent and there was no response.

The fact that the fighter pilot in distress in the war could not find the body still happens, but in this incident it was too special, within 5 days all four planes were missing, including 32 people and nearly tens of tons of goods. without leaving a trace, it is very rare. The comrades who participated in the flight crews that were recognized as martyrs but did not know exactly where they were sacrificed, a bone fragment for their relatives and teammates’ peace of mind is also hopeless. For nearly 40 years, the relatives of the martyrs are still living in agony.

After receiving the above letter, the Air Defense – Air Force has organized to check the records, review the history and make a judgment, if the information is correct, it is very likely that it is 1 in 4. IL-14 flight crew went missing in February 1968.

Immediately after that, the Air Defense Force – Air Force announced and coordinated with Flight Corps 919 – was the host unit of the flight crew that disappeared in 1968, now under the Vietnam Aviation Corporation to enter A Luoi body. smart facts. After two trips, finding the place where the plane crashed and the forest where the brothers were buried as well as working with the local authorities, on July 11, 2005, the special mission of the Army Corps No – The Air Force and Flight Team 919 set out to Thua Thien – Hue to search for some artifacts and bring the remains of the martyrs to burial. The mission included Mr. Le Xuan Duc – a former suicide pilot that fortunately returned that day; Mr. Luong Huu Thuan, former technician of aircraft IL-14, 2 policy officers of Division 919; Mr. Hung – policy assistant of the Air Defense – Air Force and me.

* * *

A Luoi district is located right next to the new Ho Chi Minh road. Thanks to the help of the district military command, we continued to go to Hong Thuong commune and Phu Vinh commune to ask for help. In the area, most of the people who participated directly in the burial of the flight crew in 1968 have died. As instructed in the letter of Mr. Lai Van Vuong to the Air Defense – Air Force, we went to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Toan’s house. Thankfully, the clue has been found from here.

It is a Pa Ko family, despite having been involved in the communal work for a long time, but his voice and his family members are still dialects, so it is difficult for us to reach and find. understand the matter. Theo Toàn said: “At that time around 7 pm, I saw an airplane flying up from the direction of Hue city, after a while a very loud explosion rang out in the woods, then fragments of the plane splashed. to the place where my family lives “.

Mr. Toan’s house at that time was evacuated into the forest, right near the place where the incident happened. After that, he and some villagers came to the scene and found the plane wreckage a little flying everywhere, some weapons such as K54, AK rifles and most grenades with their entire box intact. The next morning, everyone told each other to search and found some parts of the pilot’s body scattered around unknown people, his liver and hair stuck on the forest trees, Toan had to climb up and down. He remembers a patch of hair that is a dull and slightly long color.

After that, Mr. Toan, together with a man named Bo Hieng and several others, organized a burial of what he found. On a wing nearly 3 meters long, nearly 1 meter wide in Mr. Toan’s family, Mr. Luong Huu Thuan found all 13 bullet marks. This piece of wing was taken by Mr. Toan, years ago it was used as a bed. Later it was used as a table, standing on 4 wooden legs beside a tree near the kitchen, his family still used to … chopping vegetables and pigs. There are also some other artifacts of the plane such as the military medical medicine cabinet equipped on the plane that still has the red color of the painted cross on the lid of the box, a battery container used by his family to hold clothes but gave her daughter a “dowry” when she got married in the next commune …

However, based on the artifacts, it is difficult to determine which of the four suicide crews did not return because the witnesses did not remember the date and month of the incident. Mr. Le Xuan Duc, the head of the search team, said that based on the narrative and some objects found, it is very likely that this is an IL-14 aircraft, bearing number 506 by pilot Pham Ke. At 17:00 on February 7, 1968 because in this crew, Nguyen Van Te, whose head was bald, often kept his hair long and then stroked his bald part, so it was quite consistent with Toan’s account that there was a patch of head. Long hair is dark, and the fact that hair color shows that in plane crashes, hair color change of the pilot and crew is common, there is a case of the pilot with dark hair, but when recovering the body, many The plate has become silvery white. However, that is just a prediction. At the end of the meeting with Mr. Toan’s family, we asked Mr. Toan and some local young people the next day to put him in the place where the plane crashed.

The next morning, we were at the gathering point on Ho Chi Minh Street in Phu Vinh Commune. Local youths were also present. Let’s go. We waded through many streams, crept in the trees, though carefully applied insect repellent, but after a while, I lifted up my legs and saw a few of them clinging to the calf to suck blood.

The local young people went ahead, cut down trees to open the way, they brought tools to search for the remains. Two hours of walking through the woods, when my feet hardly want to step anymore, it’s time to arrive. The place where the plane crashed was a high ridge, steep slope, so the aircraft’s parts were also widely dispersed: under the stream was the “stop” of the engine, mortar; Scattered from the top down the stream were pieces of parachute that had not been decomposed yet; by the rocky cavities and on some of the trees, there were still parachutes left; Scattered here and there were pieces of plastic with Russian words on it, a pestle grenade was left.

On the plane tire, the ethnic minorities have cut them all to make rubber sandals, only a little rubber is left close to the iron rim. Through what was left at the scene, Mr. Duc confirmed that this was the flight crew of pilot Pham Ke, because around the area the plane fell, there were still large parachutes to drop scattered cargo that has not been decomposed. Mr. Ke’s team is responsible for parachuting goods and weapons, so it needs a lot of parachutes). Deep below the stream bed are two new “acupuncture points” that are digged by scrap seekers for motives for sale, leaving the crater wide open.

Nguyen Van Hai, a young PaKo ethnic youth in Phu Vinh commune, who we asked to join the search team told, that last month he dug this tuocbin with dozens of bullets, all of which was more than 2 weights. sold to junk goods for more than 200 thousand dong. People of the local ethnic group pick up gold and dig for the parts that can be taken away; there remains large areas, recently a number of people in other places brought small saws away, up to now, large parts of steel and steel aircraft have been “paid” cleanly.

Looking ahead and looking after a while, repositioning the terrain according to memory, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Toan led the mission to the burial position. Only an empty lot, no old trees, but only wild trees, he nodded in motion. Two officers of Division 919 fell through the tree, creating a void, spreading out a piece of green plastic. A cardboard box is turned upside down and spread paper on to make a table, fruits and offerings are displayed.

Mr. Le Xuan Duc lit incense and bowed to him: “Dear souls in the martyrs’ nest of the Mau Than spring, I am Le Xuan Duc, this is your comrade. For the past 40 years, we and our unit have been searching for you and still have no credit. Now, thanks to our relatives, we can only help you to come here, hope you will pardon. You live a life of wisdom and death, let us meet, to bring you back to your family, with your teammates and your homeland … ”. After doing the spiritual procedures, the group proceeded to dig. About 20 minutes later, they found a round plastic wrap about 70 cm deep from the ground.

Mr. Toan confirmed that this is the wrap that he and the people buried in the past. However, when the cover was opened, only a few pieces of the umbrella and black earth remained, and everything was gone. Under theses when it appeared a pilot’s headset, sometimes a small piece of an airplane part had Russian words, sometimes a box of oil … Fifteen minutes later, under the shy of a young man, another bundle was revealed. People were gathered nervously, the soil was gently dug around, the plastic wrap gradually revealed. Mr. Duc’s hands trembled and held the blue bundle to the ground.

The wrap is carefully cut the lanyard and the plastic has been frozen, layer by layer opened. All embracing a silence. I feel that every single leaf of the Annamite forest tree is motionless. Without a breeze, only the rustle of the plastic was removed. Everyone in the delegation was almost dumbfounded when suddenly appeared two arm-length bones when everything was almost hopeless. These are two arm bones.

The search team together with the local youth continued to dig, but to no avail, Toan also confirmed that it was over. So the entire skeleton of 8 people flying together is only that much. The two bones and all found artifacts are divided into 8 parts, plastic pieces and parachutes … 8 symbolic remains covered with red cloth, lined up horizontally. Mr. Duc lit a big bunch of incense and put up the smoke of incense, green smoke curling among the green.

The whole working group stood seriously and bowed in silence. Mr. Duc expressed his thanks to the martyrs. At that moment, holding incense in front of 8 parts of the corpse suddenly burst into flames … Truong Son sunburst, drops of sunlight streaming through the tree canopy shone on 8 red cloths neatly before the incense smoke.

Upon returning to A Luoi, according to Hai’s instructions, we found a scrap collection point located in the town, and indeed saw some parts of the aircraft. Mr. Le Xuan Duc realized that a part of the IL-14’s engine and governor were mixed in the scrap of various types. The owner said that he bought the above objects for 700 VND 1 kg, if needed to buy it again … price 3,000 / kg. Mr. Duc was sitting down slowly, fiddling with the tuocbin leaves of the engine. I looked at the scrap that were parts of the suicide flight crew IL-14, looked at Mr. Duc, and felt deeply moved.

Ukrainian army.

In vestnik newspaper, the (unnamed) officer said there was little hope that the West would be able to prevent Russian President Putin from conducting a large-scale military operation in Ukraine this spring.

“Unfortunately, because Ukraine itself is simply incapable of creating anything that could influence this decision (the actions of the Russian military – PV).

Ukraine has indeed lost too much time and has been in vain to modernize its defensive areas, which are capable of repelling a potential large-scale military campaign from Russia.

Kiev’s military is said to be unable to inflict any significant “sensitive damage” on its enemies while countering a Moscow offensive.

Ukrainian special forces.

I’m under no illusions about this like some politicians, bloggers, journalists and other citizens of the country. I know all too well the current state of the Ukrainian army and their combat capabilities, the real capacity of the army as opposed to these people (Ukrainian journalists, bloggers…).

Of course, the Russian military is significantly inferior to the U.S. military and the army of several other NATO countries, if not nuclear weapons (NW).

But, unfortunately, it is clear that when escalating the war, the person must take into take into take into calculation the element of nuclear weapons. It is because of this type of weapons of great destruction that 2016 both the US and NATO have not entered into the conflict in Ukraine as “as wise adults.

Even if both American destroyers, the warships in the coming days, enter the Black Sea, detecting a Russian attack on the Ochakov area of Ukraine, they almost certainly do not enter the war.

Ukrainian Navy.

The amphibious fleets of the Black Sea Fleet did not even care about the presence of American warships, would ignore them and enter Ukrainian territory to conduct offensive operations.

American aircraft will also not be crazy but shoot down russian Armed Forces aircraft on the territory of Ukraine, even, they will not bomb russian gathering areas.

President Erdogan’s Bayraktar (Ukraine purchased by Turkey) drones will also not make much of an impact on the operation of the Russian military. These flying vehicles simply won’t have enough time to fight.

Russian Air Force Su-27 aircraft.

Ukraine’s domestic airports will be quickly bombarded by missile strikes or captured by ground forces.

Between now and April 20, kiev’s enemies (Russian military – PV) will have an attack group three times larger than the need to defeat all the main forces of Kiev’s armed forces on the left bank of Ukrainian territory. I predict “D-Day” will fall the following week after that day (April 20)…

Modern tanks of the Russian Army.

Based on the situation before an attack (assumption), I clearly envisioned the plans of the Russian military in the first week of my offensive march. There will be three main offensive directions and two second directions.

The purpose of the three main directions of attack was to encircle the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces group in eastern Ukraine, defeating and arresting the group.

A training-level strike from the north, in the concentrated area of the 3rd Motor rifle group, intensified by gunmen from the Valuyki districts of the Belgorod region, would cut off the road to Kharkov in the Izyum region and the Russian military would occupy the entire place.

Russian special forces.

In the important positions in the south, especially the Novomoskovsk region. From the south, the assault group stationed on the Crimean Peninsula, intensified by several groups of troops of the two amphibious forces (Pskov, Tula), will launch an offensive along the Melitopol-Zaporozhye-Novomoskovsk line.

As a result, the remaining retreats of Ukraine’s combined forces to the Dnepr region will be severed.

At the same time, the main combat-ready forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be separated from all large armys in which the Ukrainian army can fight back as fiercely and prolongedly as possible.

After the formation of a strategic siege that is gradually closed by the northern and southern attack groups in the Novomoskovsk region, a direct attack will be carried out by the forces of the 150th motor rifle group on the front lines in Donbass in order to cut the ukrainian combined forces into 2-3 parts. I believe in the full moon.during this period, Russian offensive campaigns will last from 3 to 5 days.

Large amphibious landing ship formation of the Black Sea Fleet.

In the period lasting from 2 to 5 days from the time the Russian attack is activated, two second attacks (as mentioned above) will be carried out.

The force consisting of about two Brigades of Russian Marines, after landing in the Ochakov-Koblevo area, will attack in the direction of the Kakhovka, aiming to encircle units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ochakov, Nikolaev and Kherson.

At that time, a ceremonial battalion of the Russian army could also be sent to Odessa for the “liberation of Odessa” event.

The remnants of the 28th Brigade and the Ukrainian Navy left in combat forces in Odessa are unlikely to cause serious resistance.

Ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

It is not helpful to attack the Russians again at the moment, even if this remaining force only effectively stops the Russian army. Immediately accepting surrender “in honor” is something that will surely happen.

Part of the force of the Russian military’s “Ochakovsko-Koblevsky” amphibious operation will be sent toward Kiev, at which point I think this Russian force will be limited to occupying/intercepting the defensive fire of the 72nd brigade and Belotserkovsky airport.

There will be a special hunt for the drone “Made inTurkey/built in Turkey) Bayraktars.

Ukrainian Bayraktars drone purchased from Turkey.

I believe that the task of occupying bayraktar tactical drone operating facilities on the ground and american counterattack radars will be assigned by Russia to special operations units because they have the autonomy to perform combat missions separate from the main military wings.

This tactic of the Special Forces of the Russian Federation was successfully used in Georgia in 2008 to capture/destroy objects far from the main military activity area.

Thus, during the 2008 war, small groups of Special Forces of the Russian Navy attacked Georgian coast guard vessels received from the US at the port of Poti, dismantling and removing early warning radar equipment (also american) from within Georgian territory.

Ukraine’s defensive weapons.

These forces have carried out separate operations. The complete absence of defense troops in Ukraine facilitates such groups to operate at almost any battlefield depth.

A second additional attack will be carried out from the Bryansk region through Chernigov against the facilities of ukraine’s 1st Tank Brigade in Goncharovsky and the Desna training center.

I don’t know what enemy units (Russian military – PV) are now, but information about the formation of an attack group there has been leaked online.

Elite special forces of the Russian army.

The objective of this attack was to take over the center of training of reserve forces, an area very important to the capital Kiev. When successful, Russian forces here will pose an extremely great threat to Kiev from the North.

After forming a closed-siege force against the remaining Ukrainian combined forces, it is very likely that the enemy will enter Kharkov (again, ritualically, as in Odessa) and raid separate bases along the Kharkov-Kiev highway to Boryspil, to create a threat to Kiev from the East.

Again, according to my estimates, the enemy has a three times the amount of reserves to perform the tasks described above. I believe it will take 5-7 days to complete them,” the Ukrainian officer wrote.
