world hunger is on the rise in absolute number and more than 820 million people were hungry in 2018, In Asia, despite great progress in the last five years, Southern Asia is still the subregion where the prevalence of under nourishment is highest Over 820 mln people hungry in 2018: UN report UNITED NATIONS, July 15 (Xinhua) -- World hunger is on the rise in absolute number and more than 820 million people were hungry in 2018, a UN report said Monday. After decades of steady decline, the trend in world hunger, as measured by the prevalence of under nourishment, reverted in 2015, said "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019" report launched at the UN headquarters in New York. While the ratio remained largely unchanged in the past three years at slightly below 11 percent, the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger slowly increased, reaching 821.6 million in 2018, it said.

China the world top Executioner: Several thousand people were executed in 2016 by China alone, while at least 1,032 were executed in 23 other countries globally. China executes more people each year than the rest of the world combined, Amnesty: China executes more people than rest of the world combined HONG KONG – China executes more people each year than the rest of the world combined, with its state-sanctioned system cloaked in official secrecy, said a report released Tuesday by human rights monitor Amnesty International. Several thousand people were executed in 2016 by China alone, while at least 1,032 were executed in 23 other countries globally, said Amnesty. The estimates contradict official state figures, which put the number of executions at 85 between 2014 and 2016. Amnesty’s investigation found news reports of at least 931 individuals executed between 2014 and 2016, while the official state database showed only 85 entries. “There’s absolutely no way to know whether the number

 the new face of health awareness In March of 2014, Katie Stubblefield’s life felt like it was spiraling out of control.  Not only had the 18-year-old undergone multiple surgeries for gastrointestinal problems, but her mother had just lost her job and Katie herself had just had her heart broken by a cheating boyfriend. These stressors plus Katie’s “perfectionist” attitude led her to attempt to kill herself in the bathroom of her brother’s house in Mississippi using a .308-caliber hunting rifle. Katie miraculously survived. But while the incident did not take her life, it did take away her face When she was first admitted to the hospital in 2014, a trauma surgeon with over 30 years of experience claimed that Katie’s case was the worse he had ever seen. The only way for her to lead a functional life again, in his opinion, would be if she underwent a face transplant. After that, it took three long years of countless hospital visits and careful planning for Katie to become the youngest

After China lost the Opium Wars to Great Britain and France, the colonial powers imposed harsh and unequal treaties on China. the Chinese Revolution of 1911 was the culmination of decades of social unrest and political weakness, In 1911, the Chinese Revolution took down more than two millennia of hereditary rule and set in motion events that saw the emergence of a brand new regime. Also called the Xinhai Revolution, the Chinese Revolution of 1911 was the culmination of decades of social unrest and political weakness.  Failed reforms, colonial pressure, and lack of harmony between various ethnicities inhabiting the Chinese Empire led to anger yet unseen towards the Imperial regime. This event lasted from October 1911 to February 1912 and represents a major turning point in Chinese history.  Nowadays, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China in Taiwan consider themselves the legitimate successors of the 1911 Revolution.  But how did such a ground-shaking occurrence come t

But the court suspended the sentence for two years, which meant he would be spared from execution as the penalty is usually downgraded to a life sentence automatically at the end of the suspension period. Such clemency for a serious crime is unusual in China. The judge of the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing defended the verdict, saying the court is now more reserved than ever to sentencing people to death.

four foreign men sentenced to death for killing 13 sailors on the Mekong River caused anger in China,  The murder of the Chinese sailors was one of the deadliest assaults on Chinese nationals overseas in China's 'execution parade' sparks controversy An “execution parade” on China’s state television of four foreign men sentenced to death for killing 13 sailors on the Mekong River caused anger in China on Friday, with many people saying it was an unnecessary display of vengeance. The 2011 murder of the Chinese sailors was one of the deadliest assaults on Chinese nationals overseas in modern times and prompted the government to send gunboat patrols to the region downstream from its border. Chief suspect Naw Kham, extradited to China by Lao officials in May, was found guilty of the killings of the sailors last year in the “Golden Triangle” region known for drug smuggling, where the borders of Laos, Myanmar and Thailand meet. Naw Kham, from Myanmar, and the three others were exe

Faithful and unyielding” during wartime, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan exploited their resulting positions of authority to plunder economic development money. Theirs was the signal case in an anti-corruption “campaign against three evils” that ended late in 1952, with the announcement that 196,000 party members and cadres had been convicted of something.

ancient Chinese crime and punishment: during tang dynasty, the worst crimes were called ten abominations,  It was then given to the unknowing victim or victims in their food or drink, destroying their organs and causing them to vomit blood. Ancient Chinese Crime and Punishment During the Tang dynasty the very worst crimes were called the Ten Abominations.  The Ten Abominations were divided into four major categories of crimes. The first category contained crimes against the emperor including threatening to carry out a rebellion.  Doctor malpractice could also find its way into this category, especially if the doctor did not follow the proper formulas for the emperor's medicine.  The next category was composed largely of crimes of treason. This category included switching allegiances, killing a superior, or betraying a city.  After recapturing the capital city of Luoyang from An Lushan, the Tang executed 39 of 200 officials who chose to switch sides and fought against them.

The death penalty is still very much alive Despite the repeated intervention of international organisations, the death penalty is being handed down in courts in countries across the world, on a daily basis.  Having faced the death sentence on several occasions, Tintin has direct experience of this dreadful punishment.  Let us take a look at the origins, history and modern-day use of this brutal punitive measure. Brought back into use in the United States in 1977, today capital punishment is common in the year 2007 alone, some 1252 executions were recorded in 24 countries, and at least 3347 people were condemned to death in 51 countries.  This figure is likely to be inaccurate as it does not take into account the many executions which take place outside of the
