The Thai team shows signs of decline in Southeast Asia In the past 4 years, Thai football not only has not progressed to the Asian level as expected by football players in this country, on the contrary, they have clearly declined. Thailand is now 30 places behind Vietnam in the world rankings, despite spending a lot of money to invite reputable and famous coaches. Thairath wrote: “Who is not ashamed but I do. Since taking the chair of the President of the Thai Football Federation, Mr. Somyot has made everyone seem to have hope that Thai football will grow in stature and professionalism. In the end, all talk is just a dream. Thailand’s achievements are like falling into the abyss where they used to be the eldest brother. They were eliminated in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, with a score worse than their regional rivals, Malaysia. Like this, are you embarrassed?”. Page Thairath continued to criticize: “Look at Vietnam. They have risen to the number one position in Southeast Asia and 30 places above Thailand. Thailand has been terrible since President Somyot came to power. Is Japanese coach Akira Nishino worth such a large amount of money (30 million baht/year, equivalent to more than 20 billion VND/year)? At the very least, it must be exchanged with achievements. Because if you take that money to hire a Thai coach, the achievement is just that.” Siam Sports page also borrowed the words of former player Somchai Chuayboonchum to put pressure on coach Nishino: “The salary Nishino is receiving is too high compared to the results Thailand received. It’s a shame Thailand didn’t make it to the next round. The team seems to lag behind other competitors in Southeast Asia like Vietnam and Malaysia.” In the article, the author expressed concern about Thailand’s decline in the region as well as the quality of the Thai League: “Thailand team started to retreat and obviously fell into the abyss. At SEA Games, Thailand used to be a big man, but in the blink of an eye, the glorious past was gone. Everything was lower than expected. There is no title, no joy of winning and the Thai League is also starting to show signs of faltering. After that, Thai League is no longer the most appreciated tournament of the region. The Thai audience once again felt pain when the Thai team failed miserably in the 2022 World Cup. Vietnamese football is in the No. 1 position in Southeast Asia. If we stay in this situation, will we be able to ‘survive’ at SEA Games 31?”. Contrary to previous speculations of experts and fans, the Thai Football Federation did not fire coach Nishino. Not only that, they also decided to recruit some Japanese assistants to support Mr. Nishino in the near future. “I understand coach Nishino and the players very well. There are many objective reasons affecting the team’s results. From the detection of some cases of Covid-19, the team’s preparation plan has been greatly affected. Even the whole team could not practice anything in Thailand before going to the UAE. As for why coach Nishino doesn’t have any Japanese assistants, from the outset, the federation asked him if he wanted to bring any fellow assistants to Thailand, but he insisted he wanted to go to Thailand. alone. We never stopped Coach Nishino from using a Japanese assistant. However, we are willing to hire more Japanese assistants for Coach Nishino and this will not affect the salary that the federation pays him,” – announced President Somyot Poompanmoung. In addition, when asked by a reporter whether during the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, whether coach Nishino would have his salary cut, chairman Somyot Poompanmoung affirmed: “Based on the new contract, coach Nishino’s salary is 33 million baht/year, equivalent to about 2.75 million baht/month (approximately 2 billion VND). This new level is applied after we have implemented implement a policy of reducing wages for all employees of the union”.

The route follows the highway: Pham Van Dong street, Trang Bom – Hoa Hung railway, Ring 2 route (located in Thu Duc city) and connects the rails directly to the Thu Thiem light rail route – National airport. Long Thanh economic zone at the Ring Road 2 intersection with the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway. Ho Chi Minh City also suggested that it is necessary to study the direction of urban railway No. 4b directly connecting with T1, T2, T3 terminals of Tan Son Nhat Airport. The City People’s Committee assessed that this route alignment option, when built, will contribute to the development of the urban railway system in Thu Duc City, convenient for traveling between areas. Talking to Dat Viet, aviation expert – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thien Tong, former Head of the Department of Aviation Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Science and Technology, pointed out 3 problems that make the railway connecting Tan Son airport Nhat – Long Thanh is not feasible. Firstly, about the need to build this railway line. According to Mr. Tong, it is not possible to say here in general that there is a need or indiscriminately stating a few numbers, lacking actual research, but needing specific quantitative analysis. “How many passengers will travel on this railway connecting Tan Son Nhat with Long Thanh? There must be data and an explanation for why there is such data”, he emphasized. Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee wishes to have a railway connecting Tan Son Nhat international airport to Long Thanh international airport. The expert said that, in the past, passenger demand for Long Thanh airport was calculated from the passenger demand forecast for Tan Son Nhat airport and then subtracted from the capacity of Tan Son Nhat airport. This simple calculation is based on the assumption that all excess passenger demand of Tan Son Nhat airport will be transferred to Long Thanh airport. “It is expected that when Tan Son Nhat airport is overloaded with over 50 million passengers, and the demand is up to 75 million passengers, then 25 million passengers will go from Tan Son Nhat through Long Thanh airport. This calculation method is very mechanical and mechanical, potentially posing a huge risk in forecasting passenger demand for Long Thanh airport”, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thien Tong commented and affirmed that passengers do not wait until Tan Tan. Son Nhat will run out of seats and then go to Long Thanh, but they will go to any airport they want to go to. rather than going through Tan Son Nhat. So which passengers from Tan Son Nhat to Long Thanh? Only passengers on domestic flights to Tan Son Nhat need to go to Long Thanh to connect to international routes. And vice versa, only passengers on international flights to Long Thanh without a connection from there to other provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang… will return to Tan Son Nhat to fly away. The number of international passengers traveling between these two airports is not much, so there is no need. That is the plan that the Ministry of Transport wants to use Tan Son Nhat airport as a domestic airport and Long Thanh as an international airport. The option of organizing two airports like this is inefficient and unfeasible. In principle of international airport operation, domestic and international terminals must be close to each other. It is best that Long Thanh International Airport is a transit airport for long-distance international flights such as going to Europe and America that need to collect passengers all over the country, and short-distance international flights such as going to Asia. Tan Son Nhat airport and other international airports take over to serve the residential areas of the provinces near the airport. “Most of the excess passenger demand of Tan Son Nhat airport will be transferred to using regional airports, especially passengers in the Mekong Delta will use Can Tho airport. Therefore, from now until then Once the construction of Long Thanh airport is completed, Can Tho International Airport and Cam Ranh International Airport will also be developed to reduce the load on Tan Son Nhat, so that by then there will not be many international visitors for the airport. Long Thanh and other airlines are not foolish to open flights when there are no guests,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thien Tong. The second point noted by the expert is the financial and economic efficiency of the railway. Assuming that when the construction of this route is completed and tickets are collected, will the collected ticket money offset the site clearance costs, railway construction costs, operating costs… or not? Not to mention, if the fare is higher than other means of transport, it is easier for passengers to choose to go by road rather than this railway. “We have to figure out how much those customers pay for a metro ticket between Tan Son Nhat and Long Thanh, how much is the money collected in a year, how many years will it take to recover the capital? Midway station to serve guests wishing to go to Long Thanh and Tan Son Nhat, that is only secondary,” the expert pointed out. The third and most important point, according to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thien Tong, is where to invest, especially in the context of high public debt today. He also reiterated his concerns about Long Thanh airport. The project has been pressed to start construction since the beginning of this year, but worries about the investment capital, feasibility and economic efficiency of the project are still there. The state has to invest a lot of money to build Long Thanh airport, and also has to invest a lot in connecting traffic between the airport and Ho Chi Minh City, the area from the South Central region, and the Mekong Delta to bring tourists. to the airport. However, when the airport and traffic connection system is completed, whether there will be visitors to Long Thanh is still an open question and in the event that Long Thanh airport has no guests, it will be a waste. extremely large and must have someone responsible.

Improving testing capacity for Covid-19 According to the explanation of Minister Nguyen Thanh Long, this outbreak in Ho Chi Minh City is different from previous times when it was not possible to completely trace all sources of infection. The cause is the appearance of clusters of cases, pathogens can spread and spread quickly, thereby causing potential case misses.

Testing should be carried out in different forms, with key areas, to ensure that all relevant people are tested without omission and repeated testing after 5-7 days. With cases detected through screening, testing or hospital examination, the health sector needs to immediately localize and test the entire area, at the same time implement tracing measures and take samples for testing. In relevant cases, it is possible to apply sample 5 with F1, 10-20 with other cases. For industrial zones, the Minister said that Ho Chi Minh City needs regular screening tests to protect this area against the risk of disease invasion. At the same time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to have a large-scale screening test for the whole city in the form of 1-2 people per household. Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long. Photo: Duy Hieu. The Minister emphasized the need to quickly test for antigens, not to leave samples; Strengthening human resources to take samples and perform tests, and at the same time can consider and guide people to take samples for quick testing at home. Medical facilities need to test all patients who come for medical examination and treatment, not only focusing on groups of patients with clinical manifestations such as cough, fever, etc. Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said that the agencies under the Ministry located in the area will be mobilized to support the health sector in Ho Chi Minh City. In which, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Ho Chi Minh City mobilizes all students to participate in sampling, the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City and other departments will provide maximum support with the coordination of HCMC.

For this scenario, the health sector in Ho Chi Minh City needs to review and prepare medical facilities, equipment and supplies. The Ministry of Health will provide some necessary equipment such as HFLC equipment, ventilators, ECMO to meet the treatment needs of serious patients. With the work of vaccination against Covid-19 vaccine, the Minister suggested that the city health sector should mobilize all efforts to implement the vaccination campaign according to the plan and schedule.

Regarding measures, the District People’s Committee plans to organize 22 checkpoints at roads, each with 3 people/shift. Ho Hoc Lam Street, from Kinh Duong Vuong to Vo Van Kiet, will be blocked and isolated. Particularly, Kinh Duong Vuong and Vo Van Kiet roads are still open to traffic but cannot be stopped or parked.

Thereby preventing the phenomenon of degradation in morality, lifestyle among cadres and party members and the negative in social life that hinders the development of the renovation process and the formation and improvement of a positive lifestyle. in social life. Each journalistic work needs to bring the breath of life, so with their responsibility, the team of journalists becomes an important “bridge” to convey the Party’s guidelines and policies. , the State’s laws come into practice in close proximity to people and ethnic minorities; reflect the good and creative ways of individuals and collectives with advanced examples in productive labor and effective economic models.

Close to the limit of insolvency According to the director of Sao Viet car company, production and business revenue is almost zero, but every day still has to bear countless expenses such as bank interest; rent for factories, warehouses, salaries to support officials, employees, drivers; road maintenance fees … A series of passenger transport enterprises are in the “swallowing” scene. “Before the epidemic, on average, each month we spent about 3 billion dong on salaries and bonuses for drivers and employees. However, today, even though there is no revenue, we still have to “burden” nearly 1 billion dong/month “- Mr. Bang stated. Not only road transport, the air transport market has suffered the most severe decline ever, prompting the Ministry of Planning and Investment to issue a warning that the solvency of enterprises is declining close to the limit of insolvency. maths. For example, the national airline of Vietnam (Vietnam Airlines), it is expected that the loss of the first quarter of 2021 will be at VND 4,800 billion and in the first six months of the year may reach VND 10,000 billion. Currently, the amount of overdue debt has reached VND 6,240 billion and is in a very difficult situation. Vietnam Airlines has more than 9,000 employees who are on unpaid leave and temporary suspension of labor contracts. Most transport businesses are facing great difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) also lost 50% of passenger transport revenue in the past 5 months due to people restricting travel, the railway industry had to cut many passenger trains. Mr. Nguyen Cong Hung, Chairman of the Hanoi Taxi Association, said that the number of passengers decreased by 80%-90%, revenue fell seriously, and workers’ lives were difficult. A series of taxi companies are facing the risk of bankruptcy, and bad debts are at high risk of increasing in the banking system. Therefore, recently, the Taxi Associations of Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City have jointly signed a document to send to the Prime Minister, proposing to support taxi transport enterprises to overcome difficulties before the Covid-19 pandemic. Proposing many solutions Facing the above situation, the Prime Minister has just assigned the Ministry of Transport to consider and propose policies and solutions to support passenger transport enterprises facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic. to border gates and between regions in the domestic market. According to Mr. Tran Bao Ngoc, Director of the Transport Department (Ministry of Transport), since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Ministry of Transport has proposed policies and solutions to support transport enterprises in difficulty. Regarding the solution to remove the vehicle inspection cycle, Mr. Ngoc said that the Ministry of Transport is amending Circular No. 70/2015 in the direction of adjusting the inspection cycle of passenger cars of all kinds up to 9 seats with transportation business. , adjusted from 18 months to 24 months for the first cycle and from 6 to 12 months for the recurring cycle. In addition, the Ministry of Transport also proposed that the Government delay the time of sanctioning transport enterprises that do not install surveillance cameras due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Regarding the proposal to exempt road maintenance fees until the end of this year, Mr. Ngoc said that in order to remove difficulties for those affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, Circular 112/2020 of the Ministry of Finance allows to reduce collect road user fees from January 1 to June 30, 2021. “The Ministry of Transport has proposed to the Government to reduce value-added tax to 0%, reduce 50% of corporate income tax for industries seriously damaged by the epidemic. Besides, delay payment of tax amount for 6 months for 6 months. arrears until December 31, 2021 and there is no fee for parking, parking and picking up passengers at the airport, train station, port and 50% discount on service prices through the bus station for passenger cars. sign for new registered vehicles for transport business until December 31,” said Mr. Ngoc. It is still difficult to access support policies As a large passenger transport enterprise in Quang Ninh province, Mr. Doan The Xuyen, director of Phuc Xuyen Co., Ltd., said that the company has over 300 vehicles that have stopped working but still have not been exempted from road maintenance fees because of cumbersome procedures. . For example, to be exempted under the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, the vehicle must stop working for 30 days or more, then return the badge and be certified by the Department of Transport. “You can stop for less than 30 days to be able to run again, then you have to apply for a new badge. Many businesses still have to pay even though the car is not running because they are afraid of procedures,” said Xuyen.

From mid-morning to late-afternoon, the heat reached more than 40 degrees Celsius, blowing hot air in every corner from the countryside to the city, the demand for electricity increased continuously for many days and the transmission grid always at the full load warning threshold. In order to ensure the safe operation of equipment on the transmission grid, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) requires units to strengthen the inspection and monitoring of transformers, resistance, current transformers, etc. voltage transformers, pole clamps, connections on lines, substations. In particular, special attention should be paid to the full-load 500kV transformers such as Viet Tri, Hoa Binh, Nho Quan, Thuong Tin, PleiKu 2, Dak Nong, Vinh Tan and the North – Central 500kV lines. Troubled hot season Deputy Director of Power Transmission Company 3 (PTC3) Ho Cong said that by May 2021, the total installed capacity of solar power will be connected to the PTC3 transmission grid and the distribution grid of Power companies in the region. the area of ​​the provinces: Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Dak Nong has reached 4,093MW, accounting for 36% of the total installed capacity of power sources connected to the transmission and distribution grids in the region. this. In which, the connection at the voltage level of 500kV is 600 MW, at the voltage level of 220kV is 753 MW, at the voltage level of 110kV is 940 MW, and the farm and rooftop solar power connected at the voltage level below 22kV is 1,801 MW. With the very fast development speed of solar power plants, farm solar power, rooftop solar power in a short time, some 220kV transmission lines have been built in Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai and Dak Lak areas. and Dak Nong always operate at full load, overload occurs in the rainy season of the Central Highlands. Especially the 220kV transmission lines: Sinh Mass An Khe – Pleiku (100%); An Khe Biomass – An Khe Hydropower Plant (100%); Quy Nhon – An Khe Power Plant (99%); Quy Nhon – Tuy Hoa (96%); Tianjin – Nha Trang (98%); Nha Trang – Krong Buk (87%); Krong Buk – Pleiku 2: (88%) Dak Nong – Buon Tuahar (102%); Dak Nong – Buon Kuop (99%) and AT1 transformer (97.%), AT2 (96%) 500kV Dak Nong substation; transformer AT1 (94%), AT2 (95%) 500kV Pleiku 2 station; transformer AT1 (100%), AT5 (94%) 500kV Pleiku station… When the power grid is operating in a state of full load or overload, PTC3 must request units to increase the frequency of inspection and monitoring of equipment, transformers, lines and corridors to promptly overcome and handle handle unusual phenomena. In addition, some repair and maintenance works that need to be cut off or periodically tested must be arranged at night when solar power stops generating. The implementation of safety measures, as well as the process of construction supervision, supervision of load-bearing equipment, safety control at poles that cross with medium and low voltage lines and roads at it is dark, at night it will be very difficult, potentially dangerous. Khanh Hoa Power Transmission installed an AI camera to warn of fire in the corridor of the 220kV line: Nha Trang – KrongBuk. Photo: Ngoc Ha/Icon.com.vn According to the document No. 795/TTg-CN dated June 25, 2020 of the Prime Minister on adding the list of wind power projects to the electricity development planning, wind power plant projects in the Central Highlands region. with a total capacity of 2,358MW (accounting for 21% of the total installed capacity of power sources connected to the transmission and distribution grids in this area) is in the process of construction, installation, and putting these projects into operation. November 2021 will put more pressure on the existing transmission grid, which is already full and overloaded in the provinces: Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Dak Nong. In particular, in Gia Lai area, there is a total capacity of 1,242.4MW (voltage level 500kV: 200MW, 220kV: 650MW, 110kV: 392.4MW); Dak Lak area has a total capacity of 685.8MW (voltage level 500kV: 400MW, 220kV: 200MW, 110kV: 85.8MW); Dak Nong area has a total capacity of 430 MW (voltage level 220kV: 380MW, 110kV: 50MW), when put into operation, it will continue to overload 220kV lines of Yang Trung – Pleiku 2 wind power plant; An Khe – Pleiku Biomass, An Khe Biomass – An Khe Hydropower Plant; An Khe – Quy Nhon Hydropower Plant; Krong Buk – Pleiku 2, Dak Nong – Buon Tua shar, Dak Nong – Buon Kuop and AT1 and AT2 transformers at 500kV Dak Nong substation; AT1, AT2 500kV Pleiku substation 2. As a line soldier, the sun also goes to the line, the rain also goes to the line, as a station soldier, flood, or hot weather must be on duty 24/24. In order to mobilize sources effectively, in the current conditions, EVN requires the Power Transmission Companies to transmit the maximum mobilized capacity of the power plant cluster at 100% until the congestion or overload is reached. The associated load is removed. With this requirement, the new operating status of the PTC3 grid is often at 100% full load. Thus, it is necessary to keep the current flowing smoothly in all situations, especially on hot sunny days. With a “hot” area like PTC3, all units, regardless of whether they were on duty or off duty, must gather their manpower to check the grid’s congestion points, the points with high risk of heat generation. The point of line cross-section is small compared to the whole line, the rated current of the equipment in the exposed compartment is smaller than the line, the points have a large deflection, the risk of breaking the distance when the load is high..etc and so on and so forth. problems can occur when the temperature reaches more than 40 degrees Celsius and lasts for many days. It can be said that the transmission shifts during the heat wave are no different from the ones on duty during the flood season. After detecting the risk, it is necessary to propose to reduce the rated current of the line; if the ambient temperature rises suddenly, it is necessary to monitor that the conductor temperature does not exceed the allowable level; make a plan for temporary handling and a plan for long-term handling of bottlenecks of the power grid, determine the time for remediation, and submit it to the Company. For example, during the recent heat wave in May, the transmission units must make statistics of the number of enhanced inspections from the beginning of 2020, thereby proposing a reasonable plan to arrange human resources for the new operation situation; propose the addition of production equipment and tools to serve the operation management in the new operating situation, make a list of proposed equipment to be added immediately. A place to test people’s hearts Using remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with image recording equipment and specialized cameras in power grid management and operation at Lam Dong Power Transmission. Photo: Ngoc Ha/Icon.com.vn. Head of PTC3 Dispatch Department Nguyen Manh Tuong said that in the first 5 months of 2021, the electricity output received by the PTC3 transmission grid under management and operation reached 23,918,261,392 kWh, an increase of 16.30% over the same period in 2020; delivered electricity output reached 23,445,807,704 kWh, up 16.10% over the same period in 2020; power output received on the 500kV grid reached 17,223,481,412 kWh, an increase of 26.40% over the same period in 2020; electricity output delivered on the 500kV grid reached 17,000,463,190 kWh, up 26.26% over the same period in 2020; power output received on the 220kV grid reached 13,549,084,784 kWh, up 29.86% over the same period in 2020; electricity output delivered on the 220kV grid reached 13,299,649,317 kWh, up 30.08% over the same period in 2020. Despite this output, the transmission output of Power Transmission Company 3 (Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Ninh Thuan, Lam Dong, Binh Thuan power transmission lines) assigned to Power companies under the Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC), the South (EVNSPC) and power plants (ND, DT, Solar, EIA) in the first 5 months of 2021, reaching 2,826,264,307 kWh, down 37.85% over the same period in 2020, accounting for 49.18% of commercial electricity output of 9 Power companies. The highest transmission power output in May is May 16, 2021 at 22,436,520 kWh. The main reason for the decrease in transmission power output is due to the performance of commercial power production of Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Ninh Thuan and Lam Power companies. Dong and Binh Thuan under the Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) and the South (EVNSPC) in the first 5 months of 2021 reached 5.746 billion kWh, a low growth rate, reaching only 0.67% over the same period in 2020. Meanwhile, the electricity output of 110kV solar power, 22kV farm solar, 0.4kV rooftop solar, small and medium hydroelectricity power generation to the distribution grid of 9 Southern Central and Western Power companies Originally belonging to EVNCPC, EVNSPC increased sharply in the first 5 months of 2021, reaching 5.010 billion kWh. The transmission output of renewable energy sources, medium and small hydroelectricity from the distribution grid, in addition to meeting the load demand of the Power Companies, is also transmitted to the transmission grid at 220kv substations of the Transmission lines. Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Ninh Thuan, Lam Dong, Binh Thuan in the first 5 months of 2021 are 2.090 billion kWh, which means that the renewable energy output is reversed. to the transmission grid from the distribution grid of the power companies. Thus, the transmission grid under the management of PTC3, in addition to receiving power from the 500kV system and 220kV power plants in the area to supply loads, also receives back-generated output from the distribution grid through the distribution networks. 220kV transformers connected to the national grid cause full load, overload the 220kV grid. This is also one of the reasons for the full load situation for the regional transmission grid, and at the same time brings about the paradox in the operation of PTC3 that the transmission grid managed by PTC3 always operates in a poor condition. state of full load, overload, but the commercial power output did not meet the delivery plan. This shows that there has been an inadequacy when the planned transmission power output is not counted when the renewable energy output is back to the grid. Despite such difficulties, PTC3’s employees are always committed to the power grid and are responsible for their work. They memorized the characteristics of each area of ​​the transmission grid, each compartment of the substation. In the dry season, which columns are at risk of fire due to trees in the corridor. In the rainy season, which pillars are prone to landslide. Which residential areas often fly kites, stretch canvas to dry agricultural products… Just entering the third day of the second heat wave of summer 2021, the national electricity consumption capacity at noon on June 18, 2021, has reached a new peak of 41,709 MW, the PTC3 transmission soldiers are again straining themselves with the harsh climate. of the southern central provinces and the Central Highlands, with the transmission grid always in a state of 100% full load, but not allowing problems due to subjectivity – that is the duty and also the command from the soldier’s heart. Electricity transmission. The current must be kept smoothly despite the unresolved inadequacies, because the story of the mechanism, in order to be removed, still has to be discussed, considered, must be appropriate…and the mission of the transmission soldier is Under any circumstances, the current must be maintained. Because the difficulties that PTC3 is going through is also to test people’s hearts.

Could you tell me, what is the position and role of the press in the business? Over the years, I have worked at the Provincial Business Association, joined the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), I have realized that the press plays a big role in the development of the business community. Newspapers help businesses promote images, brands and products to the public. News in the press also helps businesses capture diverse information, especially domestic and foreign market information, giving businesses more data to shape production and business activities, perfect their strategies. business development strategy. Mr. Tran Khac Tam – Chairman of Soc Trang Province Business Association, Vice Chairman of the Council of Business Associations in the Mekong Delta, Member of the Executive Committee of VCCI. The press helps the business community raise policy recommendations to the State, in order to develop policies and laws for socio-economic development, helping the business community to constantly grow. The press also pointed out the non-standard things and shortcomings in production and business activities, helping enterprises to recognize and evaluate their activities, increasingly improve and develop businesses within the legal framework. the law. Personally, I have many good memories with reporters in the role of a member of the National Assembly, a member of the People’s Council, Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, etc. They help me convey my opinions and recommendations to the authorities, to general public. Currently, the rise of the social network has changed the method of information, brand promotion and image of businesses, weakening the advantage and position of the press. So, does the press still play an important role in business activities? It is clear that when social networks develop, the emergence of transnational platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, Google, Tiktok …, the press encounters fierce competition in both information and business aspects. advertising revenue. I was told by some leaders of press agencies that advertising and communication activities are difficult because businesses have other options. I understand and share with the press agencies, because once such a “cake” or has grown, it is not worth much but must be divided into more parts, the fiercer competition for shares is obviously difficult. more difficult. The press is the ideological and cultural force and also the business units to maintain operations and development. What about the information aspect, I find that with the use of today’s easy media, each person holding a smartphone can post information and express opinions very quickly and diversely. . Some people say that every facebooker can also become a “journalist” – citizen. Thus, the press has to compete for information with social networks, and in fact, there are cases where the press has gone behind social networks. However, I believe that social media cannot take away the position of the press. Despite fierce competition, which greatly affects journalism activities, social networks cannot replace journalism. I still read the press every day because there is official information, with statements, with verification, many issues are laid out methodically, multi-dimensional and complete information has been provided by reporters and editors. evaluation, screening, investigation, thorough interview. For the operation and development of the business community, I can confirm that the press still plays a very important role. So, in your opinion, is the press and business a reciprocal, symbiotic relationship? In the development of the press, businesses also play a significant role, newspapers and television stations attract significant financial resources from product promotion and communication activities for businesses. The activities of newspapers, television and radio stations are also production and business activities. Giving and receiving always take place in the process of interaction for a common goal of socio-economic development, building a richer and more civilized country. The business community and the press are not two opposing forces. Enterprises develop production and business activities, create material wealth for the society, and create jobs for employees. The press reports, analyzes and comments on social, policy and economic issues…, protects the right, fights against the wrong, and ensures social justice. Newspapers and businesses must operate within the framework of the law, especially the Enterprise Law and the Press Law. If operating in accordance with the law, there cannot be a situation where the press causes difficulties for businesses, and vice versa, businesses cannot cause difficulties for press activities. Dr. Tran Khac Tam in a regular meeting of the 13th National Assembly as a National Assembly member. Power always goes hand in hand with responsibility. So, what are your views on the role of the press in today’s social life? The power of the press is the power of public, transparent and fair information, the power of reason and the legal order. In the West they see the press as the “fourth power”, alongside legislative, executive and judicial powers, although this is not constitutional. It is a way of honoring the role of the press in social life. In our country, the press is a sharp ideological “weapon” of the Party and State, a bridge between the Party, the State and the people, an important means of propagating socio-economic development, building construction building the Party and political system, is a forum for the people to participate in social management, monitor power, and realize the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization. As society develops, the information needs of the whole society are also increasing. Information becomes a power, having a direct impact on the management and organization of social life, on habits, perceptions, moods, emotions and actions of each individual. Access to information becomes an important need in modern society; in which the main means to bring information to the public is the press and media. It can be affirmed that the more society develops, the more the press and media have a particularly important position, role and mission in the daily life of each country and nation. Therefore, the press must always protect the right, fight against the wrong in order to make social life healthy, for the law to be enforced and to ensure social justice. Reality has proven that during the process of national construction and development, many journalists have been like soldiers fighting corruption and negativity, protecting the weak. I hope that tradition will be maintained and promoted so that our revolutionary journalism continues its glorious path. Sincerely thank you!

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen The Ky – From 2006 to 2016, he was assigned three times by the leadership of the Central Committee for Ideology and Culture, then the Central Propaganda Department, and with his associates to lead, manage and operate the Press Center. of three consecutive Party congresses. Could you tell us about your feelings when you look back on this special “hattrick” of this career? Mr. Nguyen The Ky: The X Party Congress took place from April 18-25, 2006 at Ba Dinh Hall. At that time, I was the Director of the Press Department of the Board assigned by my superiors to be the Deputy Director of the Press Center of the X Congress. The Press Center had a few deputy directors, but my job seemed “heavy”, often , even more difficult. At the 11th Party Congress, I was appointed as Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, was assigned by the Head of the Committee to be in charge of press, publishing, culture and arts work, so I was assigned the role of Director by my superiors. Director of the Press Center of two consecutive congresses, the 11th and 12th congresses. If all three congresses are counted, it is an honor, pride, and great responsibility with many unforgettable memories. Looking back at the press center’s activities in all three congresses, there are many similarities and also many differences, including difficulties and challenges. The same thing is that the Press Center of the national Party congresses is a unit set up in a certain period of time to both lead and direct press activities, direct information content, and administer the media. activities of hundreds of reporters, technicians, press staff, domestic and foreign media; on the other hand, and equally important, is to serve press agencies and journalists in terms of operations, machinery, equipment, transmission lines, food, beverage, health, security, information security… The activities of the Press Center of the National Party Congress in different terms are very urgent and bustling. Reporters must have new news, “hot” news, important news, including “on the sidelines of the Congress”. Therefore, they are tasked by the leadership of their press agency to compete with other colleagues for information in every minute, every hour… The leadership of the Congress Press Center must be very dedicated, dynamic and competent, especially to be very proactive and creative in order to successfully complete their tasks. The members of the Center have to be there almost 24 hours a day, always arriving early and leaving late. All officers and employees of the Press Center and reporters, editors and technical staff entering and leaving this place are subject to strict security control. – What about things that are not the same? The differences are: the X Party Congress is held at Ba Dinh Hall, the Press Center of the X Congress is located at 19C Hoang Dieu, a far enough distance from Ba Dinh Hall, which creates difficulties. certain when arranging groups of reporters from the Press Center into Ba Dinh Hall to work. In addition to the shared Press Pass, those entering the Congress Hall must have an Event Pass, there are about 4 different types of Event Passes. Go to the 11th and 12th Party Congress, where the Congress is held is the My Dinh National Convention Center. Accordingly, the Press Centers of both these congresses (and the ongoing XIII Congress) are located on the entire 3rd floor, to the right of the My Dinh National Convention Center (viewed from the front hall). The travel and work of reporters and technicians is much more convenient. At the 11th and 12th National Congresses, the number of domestic and foreign reporters increased sharply, approximately 700 people/each congress; The number of reporters from newspapers, radio stations, and television channels of overseas Vietnamese people was also more numerous. The Press Center of the XI and XII Congresses is arranged with an area of ​​more than 1,000 m2, 170 fixed computers, many large screens, and reporters are allowed to bring laptops. Along with the Press Release of each working day of the Congress, the Press Center also organizes important and necessary thematic press conferences. – You can mention some unforgettable memories, events or situations. Over 15 years, three congresses, there are indeed many memories, events and lessons. There are comrades and leaders of mine who are quite afraid to let our officials give interviews to foreign press. I have boldly suggested: in journalism activities, the interview is a very necessary genre, showing “real people, real things, real contexts”, please just let “our brothers” be at their own discretion. improvisation. All are based on the rules and regulations of the Press Center, higher than the regulations of the Party Congress. If we do this well, the foreign press will have more sympathy for us, see more clearly our “press freedom”, higher than the initiative and confidence of the host country’s press. Another story, before the XI Congress took place, right at the Congress’s Press Center, there were several foreign radio and television companies that proposed to operate and broadcast live on the streets of Hanoi. This is unprecedented (i.e. recording, videotaping and live streaming back to their home country and to the world). I seek opinions and policies of competent people and authorities. The answer is not, because if they lack goodwill, even they misrepresent, smear us, the consequences are unpredictable. Again, I boldly and confidently replied: Live broadcasting and broadcasting activities of newspapers, news agencies, radio and television companies in the world are a popular, modern and professional form for many decades. now on. Journalism always needs freshness, vividness, accuracy and the “real” and “objective” nature of life. For us, it’s not very common (and not very professional), but for many countries, this is the normal way of working. In order to do this, to ensure the requirements of information content, information security and safety, and working conditions, the Press Center will send a number of staff who are fluent in foreign languages ​​to accompany them. “coordinate” activities. If they violate, we speak up and ask them to comply with our regulations, our Press Law. Glad that everything went smoothly. By the 12th National Congress of the Party, this work has become much more “acquainted with the job”. – Last question, can you tell me some lessons you have learned after three times leading the Press Center of the X, XI, and XII Congresses of the Party? I have not had the opportunity to summarize in a systematic, thorough and systematic way. But something like this: The first thing is to strictly comply with the responsibility of the leadership, direction, and direction of the superiors. Secondly, I also need to be proactive, creative, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility. Third, my luck is growing up as a reporter, going through all types of newspapers and press agencies: speaking, video, print, electronic, going from local to central. From professional work to leadership position, thanks to that, I understand the wishes, requirements, difficulties and struggles of journalists like my own. Also, thanks to going out a lot, contacting, researching, working, and cooperating with many press agencies, news agencies, radio and television companies, we should understand them well, both in terms of cooperation, collaboration, and the need for exchange. change, necessary, the fight is reasonable. The fifth, which is also very important, due to experience in leadership and press management positions; research, teaching and training in journalism; At the same time, I am a hard-working person who tries to write articles and articles continuously for decades, thanks to that, I have a very good, friendly, close and close relationship with leaders of press agencies and many reporters. journalism and other fields. When needing to coordinate work, just pick up the phone “alo” to work smoothly, consensus and effectively.

From June 22, the heat will decrease in the North and may end from June 23; In the central provinces, the heat gradually eased but remained in the following days. The hot and hot sun is especially strong, combined with the low humidity in the air and the southwest wind causing a strong blowing effect, so there is a high risk of fire and explosion in residential areas due to the demand for use. increased electricity and high risk of forest fires in the central provinces.

Photo: AFP/VNA Ms. Mami Mizutori, the UN Secretary-General’s special representative for disaster risk reduction, said that drought risks becoming the next great disaster and there is no cure. A United Nations report released on June 17 found that drought caused at least $124 billion in economic losses and affected more than 1.5 billion people between 1998 and 2017. United Nations, now that global warming has increased droughts in Southern Europe and West Africa and the number of victims will “increase significantly” unless the world acts, Ms. Mizutori said. Some 130 countries could face a major drought risk this century under the UN high-emissions scenario, another 23 would face water shortages because of population growth, and 38 countries are affected by both factors. Ms. Mizutori likens drought to a virus – which tends to be long-lasting, has a wide geographic range and causes severe damage. Countries are not affected by drought but are still affected indirectly through food insecurity and rising food prices.” The United Nations forecasts that droughts will be more frequent and severe in most of Africa, Central and South America, Central Asia, South Australia, Southern Europe, Mexico and the United States.

This is a necessary job to ensure the progress and quality of the work,” Vuong emphasized. It is known that the bidding package CT3 – PW – 2.4 has the goal of building Tran Hoang Na bridge crossing the Can Tho river, 586.9 m long, 23 m wide at the main span (4 lanes), of which the main bridge is built. arch bridge design includes 3 spans of steel structure, span diagram 49.25+150+49.25m. Cienco1 – Bridge 14 Joint Stock Company is the winning contractor for construction with the winning bid price of VND 791.4 billion. According to the agreement with the leaders of Cienco1 for the 2014 – 2019 term, Nam Anh Company was assigned to process and install the main bridge steel arch with a value of about VND 99 billion. According to the original plan, Package CT3 – PW – 2.4, construction time of Tran Hoang Na bridge took 34.4 months, but to be in line with the agreement to borrow PMU ODA capital in Ho Chi Minh City. Can Tho negotiated with the contractor to shorten the construction schedule with the completion time of 22 months. In order to meet the schedule that has been shortened by nearly one third compared to the bidding documents, at the beginning of August 2020, Cienco1 had Document No. 646/TCT – KH requesting PMU ODA TP. Can Tho considers adding 3 subcontractors to the Package CT3 – PW – 2.4, to build Tran Hoang Na Bridge, which are Thanh Long Group Joint Stock Company, Van Cuong – Vinawaco, and Waterway Maintenance Management Joint Stock Company. No. 12. In which, Thanh Long is recommended to additionally undertake the processing of 40% of the volume of steel arch structure. All main materials and erection are still undertaken by Cienco1. “The addition of Thanh Long is necessary to shorten the construction schedule of the Package”, Document No. 646 of Cienco1 said. Concerns of pmu oda TP. need poetry without foundation Talking to a reporter of the Investment Newspaper, a leader of the Department of Construction and Quality Management of Traffic Works (Ministry of Transport) said that the addition of construction subcontractors is very normal in traffic projects. and is within the competence of the main contractor if the additional contractor is capable of construction experience; the subcontractor’s volume does not exceed the contract rate. Previously, the Procurement Management Department (Ministry of Planning and Investment) also had an opinion that the addition of a subcontractor of Cienco 1 was not against the law. In Document No. 201/QLDT-CS dated February 22, 2021, the Procurement Management Department said: If there are no prohibitions in the donor’s instructions, bidding documents, and contracts signed between the parties. Regarding the change in the percentage of the subcontractor’s workload, the addition of the subcontractor after the contract has been signed, the main contractor’s request to add more subcontractors, increase the rate of using subcontractors from 40.81% to 49.57% (not exceeding the maximum rate of using subcontractors specified in the bidding documents as 50%) to implement the bidding package to ensure shortening the contract schedule from 34 months down to 22 months is not against the sponsor’s regulations.

According to Can Tho, the arch and steel beam structure system of Tran Hoang Na bridge is a complex structural system with seamless requirements, high mechanical precision, and strict and concentrated quality management requirements. Therefore, if the processing is done by 2 units, it will give rise to technical risks such as not ensuring the synchronization; does not guarantee compliance with the test installation procedure. However, Cienco1 said that the above concern of PMU ODA City. Can Tho is unfounded, because the main contractor has specifically divided each detailed scope of work for two subcontractors, Nam Anh and Thanh Long, to ensure the construction meets the schedule as well as the synchronization. of texture. “With experience in management, operation and quality control, art through many similar projects, Cienco1 is committed to completing the bidding package to ensure the quality of art according to the standards of the project”, representative of the contractor. main said. By PMU ODA City. Can Tho continues to have concerns about uniformity, Cienco1 has decided to replace subcontractor Nam Anh with another unit with experience in manufacturing and installing traffic and civil steel beam structures.

Journalist Pham Hong Hanh, Head of the Party Building Department – Internal Affairs, Thanh Hoa Newspaper: Promoting the role of critic to contribute to improving the position of the press in society In order to well perform the social criticism function of the press, Thanh Hoa Newspaper has built specialized pages, thematic article circuits and categories suitable for each publication: Thanh Hoa daily, Thanh Hoa monthly, Electronic Thanh Hoa and specializing in Culture and Life website. Thereby creating forums, information and reflection channels to timely convey 2-way information: undertakings and policies from the Party Committee, government and political system to people, businesses, and organizations. organizations, individuals and vice versa. The bottlenecks in the implementation of guidelines, policies, and problems of organizations, businesses and people are reflected and commented on through press works, which have been reported by the provincial leaders, leaders of the province. localities listen, grasp and direct the removal in a timely manner. Existing problems and inadequacies in society are also objects of criticism by the press, contributing to building a better society, with the same direction towards the values ​​of truth – goodness – beauty. Following the direction of the Editorial Board, the reporters of the Party Building – Internal Affairs Department actively participated in propaganda to fight against false information, prevent corruption and negativity, etc. Press works written on this topic have contributed to clarifying the causes, including “gaps”, “holes” in terms of policies and laws, in management, leading to the arising of illegal actions. violations of the law, thereby proposing measures for the competent authorities to study and overcome in order to prevent and fight more effectively the evils of corruption and waste. However, it must be admitted that the quality of social criticism information in the local press is not high. This has several reasons, such as: inadequate information provision to journalists leads to a lack of an objective and comprehensive view; The capacity of some journalists is limited, so it is only a simple reflection, not a deep critique… In order to promote the role of social criticism of the press, it is necessary to continue to raise awareness of the heads of agencies, units and organizations in providing information to the press, as well as to properly understand the role of the media. , the social criticism function of the press. On the other hand, another important factor is that each journalist must always cultivate and improve his or her understanding, knowledge, and information about his or her field of writing in order to give a correct, successful and timely critique with the breath of life living. When making journalistic works, especially before issues that need criticism, journalists must have information verification, alertness, and bravery to have an honest, objective, multi-dimensional, constructive perspective. built with a sense of citizenship, social responsibility is upheld. Journalist Nguyen Huy Long (Head of News and Politics Department, Thanh Hoa Radio and Television Station): The critical voice of journalists is the voice of bravery, competence, morality and passion. Social criticism is both a responsibility and a goal of journalists. However, it is never easy to commit to and achieve success in this field. Over the years, the Newsroom – Politics, Thanh Hoa Radio and Television Station (TTV) has produced many quality articles, timely, accurately and vividly reflecting new, hot issues, existential problems and problems at the grassroots level, which are highly appreciated by society, leaving a mark in the hearts of the audience. Many works won high prizes at the National Press Prize, the National Television Festival. In order to have highly critical journalistic works, bringing the journalist’s critical voice to the public, the role of agency leaders and department leaders is especially important, requiring a “mind” and “range”. They are the ones who cover, evaluate and analyze the problem, from which they have timely orientations and directions, catch the right pulse and succeed in effectively deploying the cards. However, without a team of reporters who have solid political skills, are good at expertise, professional, exemplary in professional ethics, dare to commit to the profession, those orientations and directions will not be possible. transformed into a quality journalistic work. In the coming time, closely following the movement and development of the province, from the orientation, assignment and direction of the Board of Directors, the News and Politics Department focuses on propagating, reflecting, and bringing the resolution to life. site clearance, investment attraction… and new, hot, existing and pressing issues at the grassroots level, in people’s lives… Since then, together with the press agencies contribute to the cause of building and developing Thanh Hoa homeland. Journalist Nguyen Quang Duy (Journalism and Public Affairs): Accepting to walk on a rope to learn how to keep balance Criticism is the clear voice of journalists for the common good, for development in the spirit of objectivity, honesty, and construction, in order to contribute to building a better society. Thanh Hoa province is considered as one of the localities with exciting press activities, including the efforts of press agencies, representative offices and resident reporters in the area. It must be said: Thanh Hoa is one of the provinces where the leaders of all periods are very interested in press work, creating an environment and conditions for the press to operate. But most importantly, with its rich history and culture, as well as its current dynamism and development, Thanh Hoa is a rich and abundant “raw material area” for the press to exploit. In the context of information competition, in addition to posting new and hot information, each reporter needs to be conscious of cultivating knowledge, especially legal knowledge, training skills, and perfecting himself in order to bring to the public. readers of journalistic works with high criticism, great impact and pervasiveness on society. Someone compares: Making newspapers is like walking on a rope. I really like this metaphor. Because walking on the rope is easy to fall, it reminds me to always be careful. Accepting walking on the rope also means learning how to balance before the impact, the resistance, the pressure, the attraction… to come to the same truth.

At 12 noon, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Chi (67 years old, from Ben Tre) returned to a shack in Vinh Loc B commune (Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City). Due to the complicated epidemic situation, her business of selling lottery tickets has been severely affected. Going all morning, she has not sold more than half of the lottery tickets received from last night. “Selling too slow, I’m worried this month I won’t be able to pay for the room. Fortunately, the landlord has announced that he will cut my rent by half,” said Ms. Chi, adding that she would tighten spending. To save money, every day, she eats only white rice and dried fish that was given to her by a neighbor. Living in a difficult situation, she was very happy when she heard that her rent was reduced. This joy also comes to more than 300 people who are renting at Residence No. 1 (Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City). Mr. Pham Trung Hieu, the owner of the accommodation, said that during the recent Covid-19 epidemics, the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Worker Support Center and the accommodation have implemented many programs to support tenants. Currently, many motel owners have exempted or reduced rent for employees. During this epidemic, he also reduced the rent for more than 300 people staying here. “We give gifts to workers who are renting and reduce the room rate by 50%. The accommodation is supported by a sponsor of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Worker Support Center. We will organize people to come and receive free rice next Saturday,” he said. Meanwhile, in a row of more than 20 rooms for rent on Nguyen Cong Hoan Street (Ward 7, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City), Mr. Ho De is free of charge for some tenants here. This is the fourth time that Mr. De has exempted or reduced the rent. He said: “Three previous epidemics, I also exempted and reduced rent. Poor families rent here for many years, I reduce the money. For students, students with difficulties, I always free rent.” Ms. Only received a reduction in the rent of the room from the lessor. To save money, she only eats white rice with the dried fish given to her. Local people said that Mr. De’s exemption and reduction of rent is not uncommon. Because more than 40 years ago, he had taken care of, even for people with difficult circumstances, poor students to stay in free accommodation. Leave a house of tens of billions, treat tenants like family In particular, recently, he completed a will with the content of leaving 2 houses worth tens of billions of dong for the lonely elderly and poor students – free of charge. Ho Thi Nhu Quynh, a student at the University of Industry 4, who is renting here, said: “Every epidemic, Mr. De also visits and asks for the innkeepers”. “He put up a notice to give everyone a 50% discount on rent. However, when he knew which families were too difficult, he reduced them from 60-70% of the rent. Some people are completely exempted from rent by him,” Nhu Quynh said. Similar to Mr. De, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (owner of a motel room in Tan Quy Ward, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) also reduced the rent and space for the poor from last May. This is the fourth time that Mr. Ho De has exempted or reduced the rent. However, until this June, the epidemic situation in Ho Chi Minh City was still complicated, so she continued to reduce the rent. She even actively reduced the rent of her already very low business premises. Mr. Nguyen Van Tai, the tenant of Ms. Thuy’s premises, said that he and his wife rented the business front in front of Ms. Thuy’s inn to sell soft drinks. Although located in a large street frontage, crowded with people, convenient for business, Ms. Thuy rented it to him at a very cheap price. “In this epidemic, Ho Chi Minh City was separated for a long time, so I sold very little. One day, we barely sold anything, it was very difficult. Fortunately, Ms. Thuy actively reduced the rent. This has helped our family a lot during this tight time,” said Mr. Tai. Thuy shared, most of the tenants here have been with her for many years. According to each person’s circumstances, Ms. Thuy will reduce the rent differently. She said: “In the epidemic, people who work are unemployed, business people are sluggish… Therefore, their income has also decreased a lot. How can I collect enough rent? I try to reduce the rent, rent the premises so that they can help some or that part. Right now, I just want to help workers overcome the pandemic so that they can stabilize their lives and send money back to their hometowns.” Like Mrs. Thuy, Mr. Hieu said, he always considers the people who are renting with him as “family members”. When his “family” was severely affected by the epidemic, he could not sit still. Therefore, even though he knew that he would lose a large amount of income when reducing the rent by 50% for more than 300 people, he still tried to do it.

Workshop “Solutions to bring the Press Law to life” organized by Thanh Hoa Journalists Association in collaboration with the North Central Region Journalists Association (2016). Photo: Documentation Speaking at the 10th National Congress of the Vietnam Journalists Association, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: “The profession of journalism is a noble and sacred profession. Every journalist is a soldier. Revolutionary journalists must have a revolutionary spirit, that is, the spirit of attack, struggle to eliminate the bad, protect the good, for the common cause of the country and the people. The General Secretary directed the press to make an effective contribution to the formation of healthy public opinion, building the bravery, intelligence, soul and mettle of the Vietnamese people in the new era, contributing to promoting and supporting the Vietnamese people. create the strength of unity, unity and consensus of the whole nation. To fulfill that requirement, over the past time, the Vietnamese revolutionary press under the leadership of the Party has made a strong transformation in the direction of being more streamlined, journalists-journalists have constantly trained, strived and continued to work. keep holding yourself to be stronger, more effective. The most prominent of which is the implementation of the National Press Development and Management Plan to 2025 according to the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 362/QD-TTg dated April 3, 2019 and the second quarter of 2021. The press agency in the planning area has completed the dissolution and merger to enter a new stage of development more effectively, including the press agency of Thanh Hoa province. In the same period, with the Vietnam Journalists Association promulgating 10 articles regulating the professional ethics of Vietnamese journalists, especially the Rules of using social networks of Vietnamese journalists to better suit the needs of the public. regulations in the Press Law in 2016, has contributed to building an increasingly regular, humane and professional team of journalists, the press agency has become stronger, and the press publications have been widely accepted by readers. than. The latest, on April 8, 2020, the Secretariat (term XII) issued Directive No. 43-CT/TW on strengthening the Party’s leadership over the activities of the Vietnam Journalists Association in the new situation. , helping the activities of the press to be raised to a higher level. Right after that, the Standing Board of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee issued Plan No. 201-KH/TU to implement Directive No. 43-CT/TW of the Secretariat with the aim of creating unity in awareness and responsibility of the Party.

By the beginning of 2021, Thanh Hoa has 360 journalist members living in 5 journalist associations under Thanh Hoa Journalists Association. Along with that, there are dozens of representative offices and permanent offices of the Central press agency with nearly 100 journalists working in the area. This is an advantage but also causes many difficulties in the management, gathering and building of a team, especially in supervising the professional ethics of journalist members. Since this issue requires along with strict implementation of the provisions of the law on the press, the implementation of professional ethics of journalists must also be one step higher. Accordingly, in the past time, along with consolidating and improving the operational efficiency of the Council for handling violations of professional ethics of Vietnamese journalists in Thanh Hoa province, attaching the responsibilities of each member to the field and position of the Vietnamese journalist. Working positions at directing, management and press agencies, Thanh Hoa Journalists Association has proposed to build a mechanism for coordination between three agencies, including the Provincial Party Committee’s Propaganda Department, the Department of Information and Communication. and the Association of Journalists to create greater strength and unity in directing, managing and gathering journalists in the area. Thanh Hoa Journalists Association has persistently propagated, disseminated, and mobilized its members to strictly observe 10 articles of professional ethics regulations for Vietnamese journalists, compared with each specific regulatory standard, thereby creating striving and emulation commitment among journalists. Through the annual summary of the association’s activities and membership, the Thanh Hoa Journalists Association has focused on evaluating the monitoring of journalists’ implementation of the Code of Social Networking, which is broader than 10 articles of ethics. occupations of Vietnamese journalists in the area. Not only removing members who show signs of violating professional ethics, making inappropriate statements or posting images on social networks from the annual reward list, these members are also not supported financially. creating high-quality journalistic works, not participating in press awards organized by Vietnam Journalists Association and Thanh Hoa Journalists Association. At the same time, notify at periodic press briefings and propose to the provincial annual press commendation and commendation council not to include members who show signs of professional ethics violations on the list of rewards even though they have successful achievements. professional analysis. Through the strengthening of coordination and supervision in association with the criteria of emulation-reward and material benefit applied by Thanh Hoa Journalists Association in the past three years, it has contributed to building a team of journalists in Thanh Hoa. increasingly humane and formal; no serious violations of professional ethics. Only a small number of journalists have left unbiased comments on social networks, citing unverified sources, affecting the leadership, direction and administration of some party committees and authorities. affect the reputation of the agency managing the journalist. Regarding the specific case, the authorities had an exchange, the reporter promptly fixed it. Along with that, each press agency has also built a mechanism to inspect and evaluate the work level and quality of officials and reporters in association with the strict observance and implementation of professional ethics regulations. The Association of Journalists maintains contact with press agencies to take measures to both promote the capabilities of journalist members and detect early signs of deviations of journalists, contributing to building a journalistic environment.

Despite losing close to the UAE in the last match of Group G, our team still made a new miracle under coach Park Hang Seo. For the first time in the third qualifying round of the World Cup, Mr. Park’s students will join Japan, Korea, Australia, Iran or Saudi Arabia to compete in the group of 12 strongest teams on the continent. According to a notice from FIFA, the draw for the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia will be held on July 1. The 12 Asian teams will be divided into two groups, each consisting of six teams.

After the third qualifying round, the top two teams in each group will qualify for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar. The two 3rd place teams will face each other in the 4th play-off round for a place in the intercontinental play-off.

According to the registration list, the coach chose a 3-4-3 tactical scheme, with strikers Van Duc, Tien Linh, Quang Hai, midfield with Van Hau, Xuan Truong, Hoang Duc, Trong Hoang, row. The defenders are still 3 names Tien Dung, Ngoc Hai and Duy Manh, the goalkeeper position is still Tan Truong. With this scheme, we can switch to 5-4-1 to defend or 3-5-2 to attack and threaten your team’s goal. With the intention of hitting quickly, winning quickly, right from the opening whistle, all UAE players pressed VN to the home field, many attack plans were given by the UAE, but Sao warriors Gold covers each other very well. 30 minutes, both teams take a break to rehydrate. After the rehydration time, the UAE organized an attack immediately, while the players we had were not in the right position, the player Ali Salmeen (5) had the ball on the right wing and shot, knocking Tan Truong down. 32 minutes, 1:0 for UAE. Losing first, the Vietnamese players were a bit rushed, instead of keeping the ball firmly and deploying upwards, the players were swept up in the UAE’s play, which is what the UAE expected, with better health. , a more skillful technical level, made the VN team unable to deploy the ball upward, the role of the central midfielders was also overshadowed by the close-pressing style of the team’s players. 39′ VN got a penalty kick because goalkeeper Tan Truong fouled the striker and Mabkhout (7) scored the second goal for UAE and also the 11th goal in the WC qualifying for this player. After the second goal, the UAE actively reduced the tempo to preserve the score. Our players are still persistent and clingy, but we can’t change the situation. I don’t know if it’s the absence of Mr. Park on the bench, but the Vietnamese players are completely passive in front of your team. The clustering with the majority to limit the attacks of the UAE is not a good measure. Because Vietnam defended with a large number, Tien Linh alone was completely ineffective. In the second half, the UAE players reduced their tempo, they were no longer as massive as the first half, but they were still waiting for the arrival of Vietnamese players. 51′ UAE has a nice combination, ending with a header by defender Khamees () 3:0 for UAE Leading 3:0, the UAE players are somewhat loose, they no longer have the upper hand, but only pass each other in the home field. In the 61st minute, Cong Phuong broke through in the penalty area and was knocked down, the referee did not give a penalty. Our players increased closeness and then the opportunity came, 85′ Quang Hai won the ball in the opponent’s legs, passed it to Minh Vuong, Minh Vuong trimmed the ball past 2 UAE defenders for Tien Linh to enter and goal for Vietnam. This is a team goal, the sharpness and agility of Minh Vuong, true to the qualities that we have practiced and used in the previous matches. Although one goal was removed, the UAE players still passed the ball to each other in the home field. In the 80th minute, the Lima naturalized player had a beautiful volley, fortunately Tan Truong was able to push it out. The UAE players do not know if they are tired or want to keep the score 3: 1, but they mainly pass the ball to each other in the home field. In the third minute of injury time, Duc Huy stole the ball from the opponent’s defender’s foot, the ball was passed to 2, 3 Vietnamese players and the last one, Minh Vuong, scored a goal to shorten the score to 3:2 for the VN team. In the last minutes, the Vietnamese players played better, we continuously pressed the UAE players to the home field, due to too little time, we had to accept losing to the UAE with a tight score of 2:3. In the second half, we replaced all 5 players, Xuan Truong, Van Duc, Hoang Duc, Van Hau, Trong Hoang with Duc Huy, Cong Phuong, Minh Vuong, Hong Duy and Van Toan, the new players did for VN’s play is better, especially Minh Vuong, who has 1 goal and 1 assist. Although we lost, we still got into the 12 strong teams of Asia with the position of one of the best runner-up teams. At the same time, Vietnam can directly enter the 2023 Asian Cup finals without having to play a qualifying round. Vietnam is the first team of Southeast Asia to achieve this achievement. Congratulations to the Vietnamese players. We will also be able to follow the Gold Star warriors in the 3rd qualifying round to win votes to attend the 2022 football world finals. The third qualifying round will consist of 12 teams divided into 2 groups, the teams will play the first leg and return, select the 4 first and second teams from the 2 groups to go directly to the WC, the 2 3rd place teams will also meet to go and return, the winner will play against a team in another continent for the final round of WC 2022 in Qatar. The fact that VN is in the 3rd round is an honor and also a responsibility for the players and the coach team of Mr. Park, we must train from physical to professional, must have many quality shots to be able to dispute. with the top football teams in Asia.
