2 Chinese men arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle 2 Ukraine babies
On March 14, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that border guards at the Porubne Border Crossing Point in Chernivtsi Oblast had foiled an attempt by foreigners to take babies out of Ukraine.
According to the border guard, two Chinese citizens tried to walk across the border into Romania while carrying two infants.
When questioned by border guards, the two Chinese men were not able to provide an explanation about where the children came from.
After conducting an investigation, the State Border Guard Service found that "shortly before this (incident), both Chinese had arrived in the territory of our country without children."
Traffickers are targeting parentless children on the Ukraine-Poland border, says a group evacuating orphanages in the war zone. They say thousands are unaccounted for and fear some may already have fallen prey to people traffickers.

Hong Kong police arrests two Covid-positive men for ‘inciting others’ to spread virus on social media posts
Two men have been arrested after they allegedly used the internet to incite others to spread the Covid-19 virus.
Screenshots shown by police at the briefing indicated that the 22-year-old allegedly posted a photo of a positive rapid antigen test result to Facebook, along with a caption asking for recommendations of pro-government eateries in Yuen Long.
Other excerpts taken from the popular LIHKG forum showed a user making claims that “there would be a major outbreak in Hong Kong and in the mainland.” The content was partially censored during the police briefing.

"To say that people in a country must support their own country’s government is not patriotism, but a form of slavery" : Vitalik Buterin
The Russian-Canadian, co-founder of Ethereum #blockchain, #VitalikButerin is best known for his creation of the crypto space, dabbling in #Bitcoin. The 28-year-old is one of the youngest billionaires in #cryptocurrency, possessing a net worth more than $1 billion.
Buterin has been vocal on Russian's all-out invasion in Ukrain since February 24. He railed against Russian president Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine, condemning it as a "crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people".
In his latest post on Twitter, he called on support first for the Ukrainians and those who are protesting against Putin's rule in Russia and Belarus.
Buterin's Twitter post has attracted many Chinese netizens to choke. One of them, dogecoin faith, said in unreasonable grammar, “Aren’t you Russian? You traitor, did Putin have a bad experience with you? “
Buterin didn't turn a blind eye to this provocation. Instead, he addressed the comment and wrote back in simplified Chinese.
He wrote, "To say that people in a country must support their own country’s government is not patriotism, but a form of slavery.”
Buterin continued, "#TruePatriotism sometimes requires confronting the evil emanating from one’s own country. Because in this way, we can help our country become more beautiful.”

According to the statement released by Fox News, Zakrzewski had interviewed Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria war, and and “covered nearly every international story for Fox News”.
Zakrzewski once wrote, “it is difficult to explain the attraction to this way of life, but when you experience the emotional rollercoaster of war, both positive and negative, as a cameraman I feel I have a duty to tell their story”.
Zakrzewski revealed that he had to carry 400kg of equipment during transmission. Having witnessed atrocity in warzones as well as "smiles, hospitality, and camaraderie," Zakrzewski expressed that “when you think you have seen the worst excesses of man's inhumanity to man you realise the strength of the human spirit.”

Hong Kong's #COVID Hospital Switches Computer to Chinese for Mainland Medics, but Needs Local Staff to Retype in English
The first batch of Chinese mainland medical staff arrived in Hong Kong in March 14, 2022, and are assigned to work at the temporary #AsiaWorldExpo isolation facility.
In preparation, the computer system for clinical management at the facility has been changed to display Chinese.
The President of Hong Kong Public Doctors' Association, #LingSiuChiTony, revealed in a radio interview that after discharging a patient from the makeshift hospital, Hong Kong medical staff have to retype the documents by mainland medics before submitting them to the #HospitalAuthority (#HA) network, as Hong Kong's medical records system is in English. He was also concerned about the diagnosis process; although most of the mainland staff were from Guangdong -- where Cantonese is spoken -- their medical as well as conversational language both have differences from those used by Hongkongers.
The mainland medical staff serving in the COVID hospital are exempt from registration. Although the HA claimed to take responsibility for them, if a medical incident were to occur, it would be difficult to hold them responsible.
"Since they (mainland staff) are not locally registered, we cannot hold a disciplinary hearing on them or revoke their license. By the time of the hearing, they may have left Hong Kong already."
