The “June 13″ gas explosion accident in Shiyan, Hubei still affects people’s hearts. On June 14, the Office of the State Council’s Security Committee and the Emergency Management Department held a video conference on national safety and precaution work, expressing the need to thoroughly investigate the accident process and causes, and to hold accountability in accordance with laws and regulations. Prior to this, Hubei Province also carried out safety production inspections and management work, including the gas industry, through the issuance of emergency notices and emergency meetings. With the disclosure of more information, while the explosion accident locked the two-story building with a history of nearly 30 years, the safety of the old community has also become the next focus of attention.

Accountability: the State Council listed for supervision

At about 6:40 on June 13, a gas explosion accident occurred at the Yanhu Community Fair in Zhangwan District, Shiyan City. As of the evening of June 14, the accident had caused 25 deaths. At present, the on-site search and rescue is still continuing.

Recalling the scene of the explosion, the owner of a plaster shop near the bazaar described it to a reporter from Beijing Business Daily: “The glass on the facade of our shop was blown up. I lived behind the shop and went out to look at it when it exploded. serious.”

According to the official Weibo report of “Shiyan Release”, the scene of the explosion was the Yanhu Community Vegetable Market in Zhangwan District. It was a two-story building constructed in the early 1990s. The first floor belongs to Runlian Property and the second floor belongs to the management of Yanhu Community. . Among them, there are 19 pharmacies, breakfast shops and other shops on the first floor, uninhabited activity rooms on the second floor, and 46 convenient stalls across the road.

According to the official website of the National Health Commission, the National Health Commission has sent a team of 6 emergency medical rescue experts to Shiyan, Hubei. As for the specific cause of the gas explosion, the official investigation results have not yet been released.

On June 14, the State Council Security Committee decided to supervise the investigation and handling of the gas explosion accident in Shiyan, Hubei. The meeting emphasized the need to deeply learn the lessons of the gas explosion accident in Shiyan, Hubei, draw inferences from one another, deepen the investigation and management of hidden dangers in various regions and key industries, and further strengthen safety Supervision and law enforcement inspections resolutely curb the proliferation of various accidents, and effectively protect the lives and property safety of the people. It also requires meticulous search and rescue work, effective treatment of the wounded, and best efforts to reduce casualties; thorough investigation of the accident process and causes, and serious accountability in accordance with laws and regulations.

In addition, the meeting requested that the key points should be highlighted, and key units and sites that may cause heavy casualties, such as chemical storage tanks, large-scale complexes, chemical parks, densely populated areas, gas and oil and gas pipelines, and various mining enterprises, should be closely guarded. Strictly prevent serious accidents. To deal with problems that seriously impact the safety of the people, such as the chaotic management of gas laying, the hidden fire hazards of moving and moving to high-rise buildings, the disorderly construction of chemical energy storage power stations, and the illegal manning of agricultural vehicles, we should promptly take control measures.

Remediation: a major investigation in the gas industry

At present, the cause of the accident is still inconclusive. So, what are the possible factors that will lead to a gas safety accident? Lin Boqiang, dean of the China Energy Policy Research Institute at Xiamen University, told the Beijing Business Daily that there may be multiple reasons. “The gas explosion may be related to urban expansion. In our infrastructure, all gas is taken from under the city. When wiring in the past, it is reasonable to keep the gas as far away as possible from the residential area. If it is in a residential area, there will be some special requirements for the wiring. However, due to urban expansion, areas that were not communities may become communities. It may be difficult to modify the original pipelines. However, the new pipelines may also cause safety accidents. This can only be determined after the investigation results come out.”

“How to make pipelines safer through renovation is a key thing. In the process of urban expansion, it is very important to update and upgrade infrastructure and equipment.” Lin Boqiang said, “In addition, equipment problems and human factors may cause gas. explosion.”

June this year is the 20th National “Safety Production Month”, and the occurrence of gas explosion accidents has also set off a wave of rectification of potential safety hazards. On the day of the accident on June 13, Hubei Province issued the “Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in Current Work Safety” (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”) to deploy gas safety inspection and rectification work.

The “Notice” requires that a large-scale investigation and rectification of potential safety hazards such as natural gas pipelines (high-pressure pipeline networks), urban gas pipeline networks, and liquefied gas tanks (tanks, storage, transportation, and use) should be carried out quickly throughout the province to eliminate hidden dangers and ensure safety. Strictly investigate behaviors that do not implement real-name management of gas cylinders in accordance with regulations, strengthen the investigation and treatment of hidden safety hazards such as gas appliances, connecting hoses, pressure relief valves, and gas leak alarm devices in gas use places such as restaurants, and vigorously rectify illegal storage and transportation of bottled liquefied gas , Filling and upside-down, as well as unauthorized removal, modification, relocation, burying of gas facilities and appliances and other issues.

In addition, in view of the hidden dangers of pipelines, it is also required to organize the investigation of hidden dangers such as pressure, cross crossing, and insufficient spacing of oil and gas long-distance pipelines, and strengthen the supervision of hidden danger rectification. Strengthen the risk management and control of pipeline high-consequence areas, especially personnel-intensive high-consequence areas. Strengthen pipeline inspections and the management and control of surrounding third-party construction sites to prevent illegal construction from endangering pipeline safety. Carry out the investigation and treatment of geological disasters such as landslides, mudslides, and collapses around pipelines, and implement geological disaster prevention measures.

Prevention: focus on old communities

In addition to the inspection and rectification of production safety in key industries, fire prevention problems should be prevented from “burning”, and we must also focus on important places such as old communities.

At the emergency video conference on production safety in Hubei province on the evening of June 13, the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee Ying Yong emphasized that it is necessary to carry out comprehensive and in-depth investigations and remediation of hidden dangers in production safety, focusing on natural gas transmission and use, mining, electric power, chemical engineering, In key areas such as transportation and key places such as old communities, bazaars, tourist attractions, etc., thoroughly investigate and eliminate hidden risks.

“In urban construction and renewal, we must not only pay attention to planning management, but also strengthen building codes, and strictly implement the requirements of building safety and quality.” Ying Yong said.

Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, told reporters from Beijing Business Daily that it is necessary to conduct key research on public safety issues related to housing, especially gas pipelines. If they are not handled well, various new problems will easily arise. May affect the operation of the entire city. As for the problem of gas pipelines, the follow-up also requires old communities to increase inspection and management to prevent risks.

According to reports, the Wuhan Municipal Housing Management Bureau will investigate the city’s hidden housing safety hazards, hidden fire hazards in property communities, hidden fire hazards in rental houses (including long-term rental apartments), hidden fire hazards in public rental houses, and hidden fire hazards in historical buildings, with a focus on registered dilapidated houses and old buildings. A comprehensive inspection of the house was carried out.

In addition, strengthening public education is also the top priority of safety. Wuhan will also focus on strengthening security inspections for large-scale commercial gas users and small-scale catering users of bottled LPG. Natural gas companies should conduct inspections and repairs on users’ valves, pipelines, meters, etc., to help users eliminate potential safety hazards and improve users’ awareness of safe gas use.

“China’s safety has always been the first priority, but it does not mean that there are no problems. The government must review the company’s safety thresholds and carry out strict rectification, and the pipelines running under residential areas must be renovated to be safer. In addition, Gas education on the consumer side is also very important. Forgetting to turn off gas, aging equipment, improper operation, etc., will cause hidden dangers. We must strengthen gas safety education for the public, and gas suppliers and communities should conduct safety publicity to explain its benefits.” Lin Boqiang said.

The entrance to a shopping mall in Seoul, South Korea is closed after a ransomware attack. (Source: Yonhap) On June 3, a large plastic surgery hospital in the south of Seoul announced on its website that its server had been attacked with ransomware and that hackers appeared to have stolen data. patient’s personal data. This is the latest in a series of recently reported ransomware attacks – a tactic used by cybercriminals to infiltrate businesses’ systems and use their data to demand ransom. ransom. According to the Korean Ministry of Science and Information Technology, last year there were 127 ransomware attacks, a threefold increase from the previous year. Since the beginning of this year, the country has recorded 65 attacks with ransomware. Ransomware attacks have targeted various businesses in South Korea. Last month, food delivery company Super Hero’s operations were paralyzed for hours after an attack that affected 15,000 delivery workers nationwide. Last November, local retail and fashion group E-Land was also “inquired” by hackers, forcing 23 of the 50 branches of the NC Department Store and NewCore Outlet to suspend operations. Kim Seung-joo, a professor of cybersecurity at Korea University, said that in the context of companies being forced to choose to increase their reliance on remote working during the pandemic, ransomware attacks Money has become a bigger threat because they can paralyze the whole working system. This has led to many companies paying a ransom and has led hackers to carry out more attacks. Kim Seung-joo urged businesses to invest in cybersecurity to prevent the threat in the first place. In response to ransomware attacks, last month, South Korea’s Ministry of Information and Communications Technology set up a 24-hour monitoring team to assist hacked companies. The government is now providing assistance to affected companies in system recovery. (according to Yonhap)

The idea of ​​​​conquering Mars has been a dream of mankind for many years, this could be the first step towards realizing the dream of many science fiction scientists that is to explore outer space. Sending humans to another planet, even within the solar system, has the effect of reducing the risk of a global catastrophe that could destroy life, such as a large asteroid impact or nuclear war. Even in the future, the Red Planet could be an abundant source of resources. Obviously the ambition to travel to Mars is impressive, but there are many doubts and obstacles attached. Tech billionaire Elon Musk put forward the idea of ​​humans traveling to Mars on 1,000 rockets and creating land for 1 million inhabitants, this is clearly an extremely expensive and technologically difficult task. major barriers have been listed. First, Earth science has not yet been able to create spacecraft with the ability to send humans into distant space that is “immune” to deadly cosmic radiation. The solution to this problem could be to wrap lead plates, but that would increase the weight of the ship and reduce its carrying capacity. Engines for spaceships are now well beyond construction. Second, solar radiation is a big problem, the Red Planet is different from Earth in that it doesn’t have a magnetic field protecting it from ionizing radiation. Astronauts will have to hide in bases hidden deep below the surface, not be able to walk freely on the surface. Third, Mars is cold and has no atmosphere, but the radiation background is 2.5 times higher than that of astronauts on the International Space Station ISS. It is impossible to live in such conditions without a special space suit. There are many other problems as well, but it is clear that expanding space into outer space requires accumulation and huge investments in technology. Before this fact, scientists expressed doubts about Elon Musk’s initiative, when he proposed to carry out bombardments with thermonuclear warheads at both poles of the Red Planet. A “fusion attack” would cause glaciers to melt, forming liquid water and releasing greenhouse gases, which help create the atmosphere on Mars. Then the “reclaimers” could walk around without a spacesuit. But mathematician Robert Walker calculates that to carry out the first part of the plan requires at least 1 million nuclear bombs with an explosive yield of 100 Megatons, must be assembled on Mars 3,500 a day for 7 weeks to achieve desired results. There are no such large numbers of nuclear weapons on Earth, and the lack of means to deliver them to another planet, is the first hurdle. CO2 reserves on Mars would not be enough to create a suitable atmosphere, even if the first problem were solved. Since the Red Planet does not have a magnetic field, solar radiation will gradually “suck” the gas that has already formed, which is the second barrier. Finally, Elon Musk does not take into account that after many nuclear explosions, the surface of the planet will be radioactive for a long time, people cannot walk with oxygen masks and plant trees. Elon Musk’s initiative is clearly impractical and perhaps the billionaire himself understands this, but what is his meaning. The head of Russia’s state space corporation Roscosmos – Mr. Dmitry Rogozin made a remarkable remark. “Anyone calling for the reclamation of Mars or other planets is well aware that this is just an excuse for launching nuclear weapons into space for military purposes on Earth.” “It’s true, you can’t just put nuclear warheads on Mars. They need to first be put into orbit and assembled somewhere with the means to send them in large batches.” “Assuming an orbital station being built by the US and its allies will be tailored to target China and Russia. Will nuclear warheads reach the Red Planet then? “It is no secret that Elon Musk is working closely with the Pentagon on the space and satellite program. So why not experiment with the best cause of Mars exploration, to advocate for the idea of ​​​​putting US nuclear weapons in space,” concluded Mr. Rogozin.

In what form could life on earth end in the end? Photo: Astronomy Some scientists point out that the earliest life on Earth was born about 4 billion years ago. At that time, the Earth was continuously bombarded by space meteors, but life continued strongly. Earth’s history has seen many catastrophes, and each one is like the end of the world. Supernova explosions, asteroid collisions, large-scale volcanic eruptions, sudden climate changes … these events have claimed countless lives. During a number of mass extinction events, most of the species at that time had been wiped out. In the end, however, life still goes on. There will always be new species on Earth, and a new cycle will begin again. Although human life may be unimaginably fragile, turning the entire Earth into a barren land is not so easy. Here are some events that have the potential to wip out all life on Earth (very low probability and not happening in the near future). The impact of asteroids When an asteroid hits Earth, it releases incredible energy. 66 million years ago, an asteroid the size of a city crashed into the Gulf of Mexico and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. At that time, all other creatures on Earth were almost wiped out. Although human ancestors were not born at that time, it may be the most important event in human history. Without the asteroid impact, dinosaurs could always be the lord of Earth, and other mammals could only exist in their shadow. According to geological records assessment, the frequency of Earth being collided by large asteroids is about 100 million years. However, smaller asteroid effects occur more often. There is even evidence that some people have died from the effects of asteroids over the past few thousand years. In 1888, in Sulaymaniyah, now in Iraq, a meteor strike killed one person and injured another. This is the earliest recorded asteroid accident. But what is the probability that Earth will be hit by a large asteroid? A 2017 study published in Nature has shown that to cause this asteroid must be large enough. Only the largest asteroids in the solar system (like Pallas and Vesta) can do this. Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at MIT, said even though an asteroid might one day come and destroy us, the likelihood is very low. Oxygen depletion Fossil of trilobite, one of the earliest arthropods on Earth. Photo: Shutterstock The chances of the latter being slightly higher than the previous. First, let’s go back to long history. Nearly 2.5 billion years ago, Earth went through a period known as the “Great Oxidation Event” – creating oxygen on a global scale. The increase in cyanobacteria causes a huge increase in the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without this event, no oxygen-breathing animals would exist and the biological world would not have been diverse, from low-order monocytes to higher multicellular flora and fauna, including humans. However, about 450 million years ago, one of the most serious extinction events on the planet – the Ordovic -Silur mass extinction occurred. It could be due to the sudden drop in oxygen levels at that time, which lasted for millions of years. But why is this happening? During the Ordovic period, all the continents on Earth were connected to form the supercontinent Gondwana. At that time, most life on Earth existed in the ocean, but plants began to appear on land. At the end of the Ordovic period, the Earth’s climate suddenly changed, causing this supercontinent to be covered with glaciers. The sudden drop in global temperature alone is enough to cause the disappearance of many species. Then, when global oxygen levels plummeted, life on Earth experienced a second wave of extinction. Scientists can find evidence of this drastic change in sediment samples on the seabed. Some researchers believe that glaciers at that time caused a fundamental change in ocean stratification, and that the temperature and oxygen concentration of each layer of seawater differ. However, the exact cause of this significant reduction in oxygen is still being debated. Whatever the reason, more than 80% of the species on Earth disappeared during the Ordovic mass extinction. Such events happened in the past, will history repeat in the future? In fact, a recent study published in Nature Communications has shown that climate change reduces oxygen levels in the ocean, which can cause the extinction of some marine life. Gamma-ray bursts Gamma-ray bursts can originate in binary star systems. Photo: University of Warwick Gamma-ray bursts occur when a giant star dies, explodes like a supernova, and collapses into a black hole. It spits out stream of rays at the speed of light in the universe. Any planet in the path of this stream would lose its atmosphere immediately and be burned. When the gamma rays in the explosion hit the blue planet’s atmosphere, they will cause oxygen and free nitrogen atoms to collide, and some will recombine into N2O compounds, the destroyer. ozone layer. N2O is long-lived in the atmosphere, and they continue to destroy ozone until it falls to the ground through rainfall. If there was a gamma-ray explosion in the Milky Way, it could potentially cause the extinction of a large number of species on Earth. If the gamma-ray burst was aimed in the direction of the Earth, even if it lasted only 10 seconds, it would destroy at least half of the Earth’s ozone layer. Scientific research in recent decades has shown that even a small fraction of the ozone layer is destroyed enough to weaken Earth’s “natural protective layer” and cause serious problems. And if the ozone layer is depleted to a certain extent, the Earth’s food chain will be severely damaged, leading to the extinction of a large number of species. Death of the Sun. As the sun continues to age, more and more energy is released, which could eventually wipe out the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere. Photo: Nasa A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience in March this year showed that regardless of whether or not a gamma-ray explosion occurs, in about a billion years, most life on Earth will die from lack of oxygen. A team of scientists working with NASA believes that this oxygen-rich atmosphere will not last forever. In a billion years, the activity of the Sun will cause the Earth’s oxygen levels to drop back to the levels they were before the “Great Oxidation Event”. The team describes the last moment before the Earth’s inability to support life as follows: “We find that the deoxygenation of the future is an inevitable consequence of increased heat radiation from the Sun. The exact timing of this process will be governed by the redox flow that changes between the geological mantle and the ocean-atmosphere system and the Earth’s crust. ” Conclusions are made after modeling and running simulation based on the algorithm hundreds of thousands of times. The start time and duration of this process will depend on a variety of factors, and can be as short as 10,000 years. But researchers point out that for Earth, in the end, this fate is inevitable. Fortunately, humanity still has 1 billion years left to find another way out.

The wood stove in the corner of the 5th floor of Ms. Mai Vuong’s family. In the photo, Ms. Vuong’s mother is wrapping banh chung for Tet. At first, the idea of ​​building a wood stove on the 5th floor of Ms. Vuong was opposed by her husband for fear of fire and explosion, causing heat to pour downstairs … But after hearing her persuasion, Ms. Vuong’s husband – an architect, Find out reasonable solutions for the wood stove on the 5th floor of the house. The kitchen was built with refractory bricks by the family, built away from the wall, creating an open slot to reduce the heat of the oven. Kitchen smoke is led up to the roof through a chimney 1m away from the roof. The stove is in a fixed area, the firewood is kept in a separate area to avoid the ashes scattered on flammable items. At the same time, the whole house is equipped with a smoke alarm system, each floor is equipped with a fire extinguisher. The 5th floor area of ​​Ms. Vuong’s family is also a space with an open side, instead of being enclosed in 4 walls. Here, in addition to the wood stove, she also sets a dining table, grows flowers for family and friends to eat, drink tea, and chat with. On the Facebook group, the AHN account said: “My family is okay, but it’s too dangerous for the surrounding houses if anything happens. My house cooks from itself, the electric system switches itself off and cooks at night. After that, you have to unplug all the wires from the socket “. “The front of the house is empty space, there is no house behind the house with 5 floors”, Ms. Vuong explained before the ideas that the kitchen could endanger the surrounding community. The wood stove is located on the 5th floor with open space. After building a kitchen, she returned to her hometown to buy galangal, rice husks, peanut shells, and collect longan firewood from her garden for fuel. The old cast iron pots in the past were also “spared” to Hanoi to cook rice. “I really like the kitchen up here, so every time I have time I go to the 5th floor to cook for family and friends to come and play. I make all the dishes every day from the kitchen, from cooking rice to fish storage, boiling meat, baking dishes … There are rustic dishes that only wood cookers can do, also my friends come to play at home. For example, burnt rice from a cast iron pot, ”shared Ms. Vuong. Thanks to the wood stove, last Tet, her family was able to cook 4 pots of banh chung. From fried beef … … until fried beans are cooked on a wood stove. The kitchen is built of flame retardant material. The wood stove of Ms. Vuong after sharing on Facebook received many compliments and expressed her excitement. There are also many opinions that the wood stove only satisfies the taste of the country for a moment, but it entails many other inconveniences in cleaning the pots, smoke in the eyes, hot when cooking in the summer, especially. especially the risk of fire and explosion. However, for someone who likes country feeling like Vuong, those shortcomings can be completely overcome. “To me, cooking with wood stove is very relaxing and enjoyable” – Ms. Vuong said.

Latvian Foreign Minister Edgar Rinkevich announced that he would expel a Russian diplomat and said he would “not allow hostile operations in his or her own territory”. Consecutively, many EU countries expelled Russian diplomats Meanwhile, the Estonian Foreign Ministry has also issued a decision to expel a Russian diplomat involved in the explosion of the Czech army’s ammunition in 2014. The Estonian side confirmed, this incident is clear “vi violating international law, undermining the security and stability of Europe and is unacceptable “. New diplomatic tensions with Russia began after the Czech ordered 18 Russian diplomats to leave the country on suspicions they were involved in a 2014 ammunition explosion. Russia responded by expelling 20 Czech diplomats after denying Prague’s accusations. Confrontation between the two countries continued to escalate, with the Czech demanding that 63 Russian diplomats leave the country. Before three countries Baltics, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Poland also announced the deportation of Russian diplomats respectively.

Former Czech President Vaclav Klaus. Photo: TASS “We are punishing one of the great powers in the world … I see this as proof that our country does not have a proper foreign policy,” former Czech President Vaclav Klaus on April 23 told Blesk newspaper. is based in Prague, mentioning Czech-Russian diplomatic tensions, TASS reported. Mr. Vaclav Klaus also said that the fact that Czech diplomats tried to blame Russian intelligence for the Vrbetice explosion in 2014 and used it as an excuse to expel Russian diplomats, is an act of trying to score points with The United States and the NATO military in the hope of receiving support. According to Mr. Klaus, the Czechs were hasty in this case. He argued that Prague “should have waited for true and serious evidence” before making any conclusions regarding the Vrbetice explosion. “It was a mistake to issue an ultimatum to Russia before having the facts,” Klaus warned. The former Czech president also revealed that he had discussions with his successor, current Czech President Milos Zeman, about tensions with Russia and the explosion seven years ago in Vrbetice. Russia-Czech relations became strained after Prague last week expelled 18 Russian diplomats accused of being officers of intelligence services. Prague also questioned Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency was involved in the ammunition explosion in Vrbetice in October 2014 that caused two deaths. Russia denied all related allegations and asked 20 staff of the Czech Embassy in Moscow to leave Russian territory in response. Moscow’s strong retaliation surprised Czechs. On April 22, the Czech Republic again expelled 63 more Russian diplomats and staff, followed by corresponding action from Russia.

Fire fighting vehicles and equipment of the provincial police force of Firefighting and Firefighting are inspected and maintained regularly. The Fire and Rescue Police Department (Provincial Police) currently manages 34 vehicles for firefighting and CNCH, including 5 fire trucks, 2 ladder cars, 3 pump cars, 1 boat and 5 fire boats on the river. , sea. These are special vehicles with high usage frequency, effectively serving the task of ensuring fire safety in the area, so management and maintenance also set higher requirements than other conventional means. Major Nguyen Thi Thom, Team Leader of the Logistics Team, manager of fire protection vehicles and CNCH vehicles (Fire and Rescue Police Department, Provincial Police) said: Over the past years, there has been an increasing requirement for the task of ensuring security in love In the new model, we strictly maintain the maintenance and maintenance regime of fire-fighting and CNCH vehicles, proactively inspect and repair minor damage, promptly propose major repairs or replace vehicles, machines, Permanent service equipment is ready to fire at the highest level. Thanks to that, in time detecting problems to repair and replace spare parts, ensure regular operation of vehicles, meet urgent requirements when dealing with fires, explosions, CNCH. Right in the headquarters of the unit, fire engines, CNCH, fire pumps … are located in the covered house; fire fighting equipment and means of fire fighting and CNCH are stored in warehouses, neatly and scientifically arranged. The monitoring of warehousing and ex-warehousing is done carefully, regularly updated in accordance with the form, process and regulations. By 2020, the unit has received 9 new vehicles (including fire trucks, fire boats …), which have registered for the first time and periodically ensure according to regulations. At the same time, coordinated with the Logistics Department (Provincial Police) to repair and maintain 19 vehicles, fire pumps and CNCH with the amount of over 875 million VND. After receiving, they have been allocated and distributed to professional teams according to their functions. Repair and maintenance are carried out in accordance with regulations, ensuring quality and financial disclosure. With the vehicle management function, the inspection of fire protection vehicles is also seriously implemented, contributing to improving the administrative reform index of the unit. In an effort to reform administrative procedures, with the slogan “running out of work without running out of time”, CBCS are not afraid to work overtime, focusing on shortening the time to resolve administrative procedures. Accordingly, for the procedures for granting fire protection equipment inspection certificates, in order to create favorable conditions for enterprises and organizations to quickly carry out the work acceptance steps, the unit has reduced the processing time. from 30 working days as required down to 20 days. Statistics in 2020 show that the unit has resolved 125 dossiers requesting inspection of fire-fighting vehicles, granted 117 certificates of inspection of fire-fighting means and 8 written notices of fire protection equipment inspection results. In which, 100% of procedures and dossiers are received and processed ahead of time. In addition, the financial work is done seriously, openly and transparently, ensuring financial requirements for professional work. Financial resources and assets are managed, used effectively, and practice thrift. The collection, payment, management and use of the fire protection design appraisal and approval fee and the fire protection equipment appraisal fee comply with regulations. Major Vuong Duc Tho, Deputy Head of Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department, said: The financial and logistics force of the unit over the past years has performed well the advisory function to ensure resources and funding to meet the work requirements. , regular and unexpected combat by the Fire Police force of the whole province. In addition, it has closely coordinated with the provincial police professional departments as well as professional teams under the unit to actively grasp, analyze, forecast the situation, advise the Party Committee, department leaders in orientation. invest, mobilize resources, meet the requirements of the police work in the new situation.

To show solidarity with neighboring Czech Republic (Czech), Slovakia expelled three Russian diplomats, the news agency. TASS reporting. Citing sources from Slovak media on April 22, TASS said Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger had notified Slovakia of the deportation order and asked three Russian diplomats to leave Slovakia “in the next seven days”. Slovakia’s decision came after neighboring Czech country called on European allies to support Prague’s stance in expelling 18 Russian diplomats for accusing Moscow of being involved in a number of ammunition explosions. in the Czech Republic in 2014. Russian Embassy in Bratislava (Slovakia). Photo: AFP Slovakia is an ally in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Bloc (NATO). The Czech Republic and Slovakia had a period of forming a unified state, known as Czechoslovakia, before a peaceful split in 1993. Prime Minister Heger explained that Slovakia’s decision to target diplomatic missions “did not respect the” principles of international law “, and stressed that the Bratislava government” desperately needed to do everything possible. to ensure security and for diplomatic missions working in Slovakia to comply with the laws (of Slovakia) and international agreements “. Accordingly, the decision to expel Russian diplomats was made by Slovakia “based on information from intelligence agencies (of Slovakia) who cooperated closely with the partner’s intelligence agencies. “and” based on the situation in the geopolitical space and current events in the Czech Republic – a country where Slovakia shows its solidarity and support “. Slovakia Jaroslav Nad noted that Bratislava’s decision was not a “cliché act” but was based on the fact that the activities of three Russian diplomats “went beyond established rules. in the international environment “. Responding to reporters’ questions about Slovakia’s move, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow was “deeply disappointed by Bratislava’s unfriendly actions”. Ms. Zakharova accused Slovakia of “showing false solidarity” with an act Moscow called a “fabrication incident” presented by Prague. Russia has repeatedly denied its involvement in military incidents in the Czech Republic and has taken diplomatic retaliation measures. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also said that Moscow will soon take measures to retaliate against the deportation order of Bratislava.
