Yellow apple snail appears in high density and damages summer-autumn rice. Mr. Le Xuan Tu, Director of the Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection said that the yellow apple snail harms the newly sown rice stage, greatly affecting the growth and development of rice plants, if high density can make 100% loss of trees in the field. In order to minimize the damage caused by yellow apple snail, farmers need to apply a combination of manual measures and chemical measures to increase the effectiveness of killing snails. When the density of snails is high, snails are small, in order to thoroughly limit harmful yellow apple snails, people use drugs with active ingredients, such as Metaldehyde, Niclosamide to eradicate. Dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. People should note that when using the drug, it is necessary to maintain the water level from 3-5cm to prevent high efficiency; Spray in the early morning or late afternoon because this is the time when snails are most active. Pesticides to prevent snails are often toxic to aquatic animals, so they should only be used when the snail density is high, avoiding use in rice and fish fields. In addition, other objects are causing harm with an increasing trend, such as: rats harming 71.2 hectares, leaf rollers 60 hectares, acacia caterpillars 50.2 hectares, thrips 36 hectares…. The Sub-department recommends that farmers keep a close eye on the fields, closely monitor the situation of harmful effects, proactively implement timely and effective prevention measures.

The cooperation between Coca-Cola and The Ocean Cleanup will accelerate the implementation of the Interceptor system to clean 15 rivers globally. Accordingly, the two sides will coordinate to deploy a system to collect plastic waste and clean up 15 rivers around the world within the next 18 months, including the introduction and application of a semi-automatic river sanitation solution using The Ocean Cleanup’s Solar Interceptor.

Mount Everest. Photo: Reuters Camping sites on the slopes of Mount Everest on the Nepal side have been affected by a series of COVID-19 cases since late April. The Nepal government, not wanting to cut off revenue from tourism, has yet to cancel the spring climbing season, which usually runs from April to early June, before the rainy season. According to the Xinhua News Agency , a group of Tibetan climbing guides will climb Everest and set up a “boundary” to prevent any contact between climbers from both sides. It is not clear how the divider will be set up on Mount Everest – which is only the size of a dining table, and has an extremely harsh climate. And it’s not clear whether the Tibetan guides will just put up a fence, or have to stay in the area of ​​Mount Everest to keep the divider. This is known as the “death zone”, where many people died due to lack of oxygen. According to the Reuters , the 8,848m high peak is just a small snow mound, with just enough space for about 5-6 climbers and guides. China has not allowed any foreign climbers to climb Everest from the Tibetan side since the COVID-19 outbreak last year. China on Sunday recorded 12 new COVID-19 cases, all imported cases. Meanwhile, Nepal reported 9,023 new cases on Friday – a record increase in the country.

According to the latest statistics from the Traffic Police Department (Traffic Police), the Ministry of Public Security, in 2020, the national functional forces detected 803 cases of splitting, swinging, and running at high speed with 1,807 subjects. Thereby, prosecuted 12 cases, 69 subjects. Although the traffic police and other forces have dealt with aggressively, this situation is still showing signs of increasing. Specifically, only in the first quarter of 2021, the competent force detected 326 racing-related cases. Typically, in early April, while conducting patrol and control on Highway 23B (in Dai Thinh commune), the working group of the Me Linh District Police (Hanoi City) discovered a group of young people. Motorcycle drivers show signs of congregation, causing public disorder. Immediately after that, the Working Group deployed a squad to block and hold the target group, detain 13 vehicles. At the police station, a group of 13 youth and teenagers claimed to have gathered to drink alcohol. Notably, in the group of teenagers who violated, some children under 16 years old still drive a motorcycle with a capacity of over 50 cm3. More seriously, on the morning of March 19, hundreds of “monster drivers” ride motorbikes on the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay expressway screaming the throttle, blocking the highway to race. This incident took place right in the rush to restore traffic safety and order. Determining the seriousness of the case, Ho Chi Minh City police prosecuted the criminal case “Organizing illegal racing” and summoned the subjects related to the case to prosecute according to regulations. legal regulations. The statistics and cases mentioned above show that a part of drivers’ consciousness is still poor, especially in cases of defying the law, despite the danger to their lives. body and community. According to the Traffic Police Department, in our country today, illegal racing is basically divided into two types: spontaneous and organized. In big cities, it is not uncommon to see young people driving cars at speeding speeds, swinging, swinging, hitting heads, chasing each other on the road or racing illegally. It is these errors that easily lead to serious traffic accidents causing death or even death of many people. In order to bypass the authorities, recently, illegal racing groups often take advantage of locations far from the headquarters of the functional unit or the area adjacent to the area. In the process of preparing to organize the race, the members participating in the “night storm” often use social networks, set up secret associations, private groups, to call for gatherings and pointers, thus causing many difficulties for functional forces in information capture and capture. Facing the above situation, the Ministry of Public Security has just directed the national traffic police and the police of the provinces and cities to increase patrol, control and handle illegal racing. Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Security requires the local police to continue strictly implementing the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security on the prevention and control of illegal racing. Urgently investigate and resolve new cases and apply shortened procedures to coordinate with legal protection agencies (Procuracies, Courts) to quickly prosecute and strictly adjudicate the subjects. illegally organizing, racing, disrupting public order. In some places, the legal agency has proposed a mobile trial in the same area with a number of typical cases to deter and educate. At the same time, through professional activities and through social media, mass media, national population database, surveillance camera system, human camera people … to determine time, mode, tricks; to map the routes, places where objects often organize, gather illegally racing, disturb public order to prevent and stop right from the moment of rekindling … Strengthen investigating, detecting the leader, organizing, illegally racing, causing disturbance to public order for strict handling according to the provisions of law. In addition to the entry of the national safety force, the core solution to completely end the illegal racing situation in general and the racing organized by young people and teenagers in particular, is there should be people’s orientation to sports, to be physically active. The propaganda of the law on the prevention and control of illegal racing needs to apply to all residents in residential communities, so that they know it is a violation of the law, thereby consciously managing education. My children are not participating; proactively detect and report to authorities when they know information about racing gatherings to promptly take measures to prevent them. From the experience in many countries, the authorities need to study the sport model, add a controlled “playground” for those who love adventure, experience thrills at races. licensed vehicles are organized methodically, securely and safely.

This is the information emphasized by Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh during the meeting to provide information to a number of press agencies about the situation of land fever, virtual land fever in some localities in recent years.

There are many “risks” in real estate transactions

Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh said that in the first quarter of 2021, the real estate market had many fluctuations, although the volume of real estate transactions under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction, was only about 70% of the transactions in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Real estate prices increased slightly, especially apartments also increased from 5% to 10%. In particular, land prices have had a hot, local phenomenon in some localities across the country such as areas around Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hoa Binh, Phu Tho, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai. , Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Binh Thuan …

Many people leave their jobs and production to trade land, creating local land fever phenomenon and risks affecting socio-economic development in the area.

It is worrying that many real estate transactions have emerged problems affecting the interests of people, especially real estate transactions with ineligible legal conditions.

“That is a situation that many projects that have not invested in technical infrastructure have real estate transactions; Many transactions took place with forest land, agricultural land, production and business land that has not been used for investment in real estate projects. It can be said that these transactions do not guarantee legal requirements, potential risks for people when investing in real estate in the past time, “Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh warned.

Second, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the bank interest rates, including those at commercial banks, are very low. This investment channel is not attractive to people to send money. Therefore, at present, many investors and people with idle money tend to invest in real estate transactions because they think that this transaction is safe, effective and has opportunities for the future.

The third reason, according to Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh, in recent years, the investment in the development of housing, real estate and urban projects has also faced many difficulties, especially legal procedures. Land management, investment and construction are still difficult, leading to a limited supply of real estate.

Fifth, now some localities have had a policy of increasing land prices according to the roadmap with an increase of 15-20%. Although this land price increase has not affected much real estate transactions today, because real estate transactions have now been allocated land and invested in the past, but the policy of increasing land prices has affected. affecting psychology and the increase in real estate prices in recent times.

Along with that, the Government has also instructed the State Bank of Vietnam to better control credit, especially credit in real estate, to avoid “double risks” in this area.

At the same time, to direct localities to focus on investment in developing social housing, cheap commercial housing to meet the housing needs of people, especially workers in industrial zones.

For localities, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh suggested that in the coming time, focus on completing and approving planning projects, paying attention to urban development projects, housing projects. ensure synchronous technical infrastructure, social infrastructure and full legal status for real estate projects, control real estate transactions to ensure demand.

Continuing to make public information about the planning and implementation progress of projects in order to make information transparent, prevent the spread of rumors, speculation to push prices and profit from a number of projects that have occurred. out in the past.

In addition, there should be strict measures to prevent the transfer of land use rights, division of plots, sale of land in some areas that have not yet been allowed to invest. Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh proposed to manage and control the purchase and sale of real estate transactions many times to better control the increase in land prices, especially through management measures. very good organizations and individuals in real estate transactions and brokerage.

At the same time, it is suggested that localities in the coming time strengthen the inspection, examination and strictly handle cases of real estate investment and trading in contravention of regulations, especially ghost projects, projects are not enough. Legal documents, real estate business conditions.
