On the 22nd, the Japanese government decided to start the discharge of Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea on August 24th, which was strongly criticized and opposed by the international community. People from many countries and the media pointed out that Japan’s actions were extremely irresponsible and harmful, and urged it to immediately withdraw its decision to expel the sea.

　　Democratic Party of Korea

　　Japan should immediately withdraw this decision and formulate a safe disposal plan.

　　On the afternoon of the 22nd, the "National Action to Prevent Japan’s Radioactive Contaminated Water from Discharging into the Sea" and the Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, held emergency press conferences in front of the Japanese Embassy in South Korea to protest the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea.

　　The statement on "National Action to Prevent Japan’s Radioactive Contaminated Water from Discharging into the Sea" said that the Japanese government still pushed this plan despite the fact that the safety of Fukushima’s nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea could not be confirmed by experts, which would destroy the marine environment, damage the social economy and bring negative effects to South Korea and the whole world, and urged the Japanese government to immediately withdraw its decision to discharge into the sea.

　　Yu Yuanzhi, an adviser to the Common Democratic Party’s "Countermeasures Committee for Preventing the Pollution Water from Discharging into the Sea" and a member of Parliament, said at the press conference that the ocean is the common resource of mankind, and water is the source of life. The Japanese government finally set a date for the nuclear polluted water to be discharged into the sea, regardless of the losses of other countries and people, only for its own benefit, which is extremely bad.

　　On the same day, the Common Democratic Party also held an emergency meeting of parliamentarians in the South Korean National Assembly and issued a resolution statement entitled "Immediately Stop Terrorist Attacks on Nuclear Contaminated Water around the World", pointing out that "Japan, as a member of the international community, ignored the international laws and standards that should be respected and made a destructive decision, which violated the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the London Convention on Dumping Waste, and forcibly discharged nuclear contaminated water into the sea". "Japan should immediately withdraw this decision and formulate a safe disposal plan for nuclear polluted water from the perspective of common prosperity of mankind."

　　Russian experts

　　The Japanese government made a wrong decision and violated the human rights of the people in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

　　Valery Kistanov, director of the Japan Research Center of the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that it is extremely irresponsible for Japan to plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea.

　　Russia’s "Moscow Communist Youth League" reported on the 22nd that the Japanese government "made a wrong decision" and it was an outrageous act to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea, which was a violation of the human rights of people in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

　　Philippine media

　　The Japanese government should listen to the voices of neighboring countries and withdraw this unilateral decision.

　　Li Tianrong, a columnist of Philippine Star, said that the Japanese government’s decision was "disastrous". The Pacific Ocean does not only belong to Japan, but the danger of Japan discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea will last for many years and affect generations. "We must call on the Japanese government to stop this irresponsible, wrong, immoral and dangerous plan."

　　Anna Malinberg-Uy, deputy director of the "Asian Century" Strategic Research Institute in the Philippines, believes that Japan’s unilateral decision to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea is a disregard for international environmental protection laws and regulations. "This is a very serious problem, which will affect many countries including the Philippines. The Japanese government should listen to the voices of neighboring countries and withdraw this unilateral decision. "

　　In an interview with local media, Kaitan Lal, a member of Fiji Priority Party, condemned the decision of the Japanese government, pointing out that the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea would threaten the livelihood of islanders in the entire Pacific region, including Fiji.

　　Matai Serimaya, Vanuatu’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, called on the 22nd Melanesian Pioneer Group Leaders’ Meeting held in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, on the 23rd, saying that the Pacific region needs to take strong actions to resist Japan’s actions. "Unless it can be proved beyond dispute that the nuclear polluted water is safe, Japan cannot discharge it into the sea". Serimaya urged Japan to withdraw its decision to discharge nuclear polluted water from Fukushima into the sea and seriously consider other alternatives.

　　No one can accurately predict the consequences.

　　Since the Japanese government announced the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan in April 2021, the legitimacy, legality, safety and long-term reliability of this plan have always been questioned.

　　The IAEA assessment report carefully arranged by the Japanese government failed to dispel the doubts and worries of the international community and Japan. It is unprecedented to discharge nuclear polluted water into the ocean for a long time, at a high flow rate and in a large scale, and no one can accurately "predict" the consequences. And water under the bridge, once it has serious consequences, I’m afraid it will be too late.

　　As pointed out in the relevant assessment report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the main body responsible for the discharge of nuclear polluted water from Fukushima is the Japanese authorities. On the 22nd, when the meeting of Japanese Cabinet members decided on the date of sea discharge, Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio claimed that the Japanese government would take responsibility for sea discharge in the next few decades. The Japanese government may want to show a responsible attitude towards its fishermen, but the impact of this behavior of the Japanese government far exceeds the scope of its sovereign exercise.

　　Previous bad records have proved that the credibility of the Japanese government’s "responsible" commitment and Tokyo Electric Power Company’s "safety" guarantee is not high. The Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011 can be partly attributed to the "safety myth" created by the Japanese government and TEPCO for a long time.

　　A typical example of Japanese government and TEPCO’s "untrustworthiness" is that in 2015, they explicitly promised to the Japanese fishing industry that they would not dispose of nuclear polluted water at will without the approval of stakeholders. However, on the 21st of this month, the representative of Japanese fishery reiterated his opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea. On the same day, TEPCO announced the numerical target of discharging 31,200 tons of "treated water" in 2023.

Everyone knows that there are many snacks in old Beijing, among which thirteen are the most representative, which are collectively called "Thirteen Unique Snacks in Old Beijing". Which thirteen are they? Have you tasted them all? Which one do you like best?

rolling donkey, a Beijing snack

Bean flour cake, also known as snowballing usury, is one of the ancient snacks in Beijing. Its raw material is steamed with yellow wheat water, and the dough is slightly softened with more water. In addition, the soybeans are fried and rolled into flour. When making, the steamed yellow rice flour is covered with soybean flour and rolled into pieces, then coated with red bean paste (brown sugar can also be used), rolled up, cut into small pieces of about 100 grams, and sprinkled with white sugar. When making, the stuffing is required to be rolled evenly, with distinct layers and yellow appearance, which is characterized by fragrance, sweetness, stickiness and strong flavor of soybean powder.

Yellow bean is the main raw material of bean flour cake, so it is called bean flour cake. But why is it also called "snowballing"? It seems to be an image metaphor. After it is made, it is rolled in the yellow bean, as if the countryside is really snowballing and raising dust, hence the name. Nowadays, many people only know the nickname, but don’t know its proper name. At present, snack bars are available all year round, but most of them have changed from yellow wheat to Jiangmi noodles, because the color of soybean noodles is still yellow, which is a favorite snack of the masses.

steamed cake/bun made of glutinous rice with sweet filling

Aiwowo, a traditional snack in Beijing, is served in snack bars in Beijing around the Lunar New Year every year and sold until late summer and early autumn, so Aiwowo is also a spring and autumn variety, and it is now available all year round.

Aiwowo has a long history. In the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, "Taking glutinous rice with sesame seeds as a cold cake and filling it with pills as a nest" is also true in ancient times.

It can be seen that this kind of food is washed and soaked with glutinous rice, then steamed in a steamer, cooled and kneaded evenly, pulled into small doses, pressed into round skins, wrapped with peach kernels, sesame seeds, melon seeds, green plums, golden cakes and sugar, and mixed into stuffing, which became the food called Wowo in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. But why did it become a love nest later? Because an emperor loved this kind of nest, when he wanted to eat it or wanted to eat it, he ordered, "Love the nest." Later, when this kind of food was introduced to the people, ordinary people could not and dared not say the word "imperial", so they omitted the word "imperial" and called it "love nest".

The glutinous rice used for the skin of Aiwowo has been steamed, and the stuffing is also fried with peach kernel, melon kernel, sesame kernel and sugar in advance, so it can be eaten after it is cooked.

Candy roll

The main ingredients of the candied fruit are yam and jujube, with auxiliary materials such as plum, peach kernel and melon kernel. Fresh yam is nutritious and contains protein, refined fiber and vitamins, which is a traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that yam is warm, sweet and non-toxic. It enters the spleen, lung and kidney meridians, and has the functions of invigorating the middle energizer, invigorating the spleen and stomach, growing muscles, stopping diarrhea and strengthening the spleen. Functions of consolidating essence and benefiting lung. Jujube is a tonic commonly used by Chinese medicine and people. The sugar content per 100g of dried product is 63-76.3g, and it also contains protein, fat and various vitamins and minerals. Among them, the content of vitamin C ranks first among all kinds of fresh fruits, reaching 300-600 mg per 100 g of fresh jujube meat, and the average utilization rate of human body is 86.3%. Chinese medicine believes that jujube meat is sweet and warm, and has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, nourishing qi and promoting fluid production, and can treat spleen and stomach weakness, deficiency of qi and blood, disharmony between camp and health, anemia, palpitation, irritability and dreaminess. The main ingredients of rolled fruit are yam and jujube, which is a veritable medicinal diet.

Sliced ginger fork

It is to peel fresh ginger and stamp it into fine powder, add a certain proportion of alum powder to flour, put it into a basin together, and use cold water to make dough. Another method is to knead dough with water, roll it on a dough rolling machine for five or six times until the flakes are even and smooth, then sprinkle fine starch flour on the flakes, fold them into strips, cut them into rows of forks with a knife, stack the two flakes together, cut them three times in the middle, spread them into single pieces, turn them over, and fry them with warm oil. The fried pork chops are honey-dipped. The method of honey-dipping is to peel fresh ginger, cut it into filaments, boil the shredded ginger with water, then take out the shredded ginger, add white sugar, add caramel and osmanthus fragrans after boiling, continue to boil, then move to low fire, and then fork the fried pork chops into the sweet-scented osmanthus caramel boiled by the shredded ginger for honey-dipping. After honey, the fork is light yellow, which has the characteristics of crisp, sweet and fragrant, and has ginger flavor when eating.

Cream fried cake

Cream fried cake is a nutritious snack variety in Beijing snacks. It uses good flour as raw material, first burns a proper amount of boiling water, then turns to low fire, pours the flour into the pot, and quickly stirs it until the dough turns from gray to white, and when it doesn’t stick to hands, takes it out and dries it into instant noodles. Dissolve the white sugar and vanilla powder with water, stir the appropriate amount of egg liquid in a bowl, add it into the instant noodle several times, and add the cream, sugar water and vanilla powder for the last time, and knead evenly.

Tangerduo

Honey twist is a famous product in Beijing snacks, also known as sugar ear, because it is named after being shaped like a human ear. There is a poem by predecessors: "Ears can be eaten? I often accompany my partner, honey twist, to ask who is good and point to a second bus ahead. " And the note said: "Sugar Ear honey twist is a food made for Qingzhen people. Its raw materials are nothing more than sugar flour and small sugar, which is commonly known as thin."

seasoned flour mush

Noodle tea is a nourishing snack in Beijing. It is made by frying flour in a pot until the color turns yellow and hemp seeds turn brown, adding osmanthus fragrans and bovine bone marrow oil, mixing and rubbing evenly, then putting the evenly rubbed noodle tea in a bowl, adding white sugar, and making it paste with boiling water. Face tea tastes sweet and can be used as breakfast or lunch, which is very popular among the people.

Noodle tea is usually sold in the afternoon among Beijing snacks. There is a poem that says: "When you wake up in the afternoon, you must always add dried ginger and sesame sauce."

Drinking noodles is very particular about how to eat. When eating, you don’t need chopsticks, spoons and other tableware, but you can drink the bowl in circles along the bowl with one hand. I am afraid that non-old Beijingers can’t eat this way.

sanzi twist

Twist with prickly heat is a fine product in Beijing Muslim snacks, which is very popular with the people, and its production is more troublesome. In advance, put alum, alkali, brown sugar and sweet osmanthus in a basin and melt it with warm water, then pour the flour into it and mix it evenly. After mixing, roll it up in long strips for a while, and then pull it into a small dose of 40 grams.

Mix the hemp seeds with boiling water, stick the small dose on the mixed hemp seeds, and crush them into small bar codes with a length of 10 cm in a plate, with 3-4 layers of yards before baking. After cooking, pick up two small strips and crush them into two even long rope strips by hand, fold them back and forth into eight, and knead the two ends together to form a jujube pit or fan shape with two sharp ends and medium size, and fry them until cooked. When frying, the peanut oil in the pan is 50% hot. Take the dough twist, put the blank into the oil pan and swing it back and forth to shape it. When the blank is slightly stiff, fry it in the oil and fry it brown. The twist of prickly heat is brown and yellow in color, crisp in texture, sweet and delicious.

saqima

Saqima is a famous Manchu pastry, and the folklore was handed down by a Manchu general. Because it is good at hunting and convenient to carry, it makes such a cake. Its raw materials are thin strips made of eggs and white flour, fried in oil, and then honey, white sugar and melon seeds are made into golden cake strips. The cake noodles are covered with green and red silk, which tastes sweet and delicious.

Inby

Inby, a snack in Beijing, is loved by men, women and children. Its crispy and oily taste really makes people unable to eat enough. Beijingers eat baked wheat cakes, often like to eat inby, and they must eat inby when drinking bean juice. Inby is an ancient food, and it is troublesome to make it. Because of the low labor efficiency, general restaurants are unwilling to make it, so it is often blocked for a while. When it comes to bombing inby, everyone in Beijing knows that a "handsome king of inby" was originally a "Nanlaishun" employee who died. His skills can’t be compared with those of ordinary people. The fried inby is brown and average in size, especially with the characteristics of fragrance, crispness and crispness. If it is put on the table, it will be broken at the slightest touch, and it will never feel hard.

Tanghuoshao

Tanghuoshao is one of the breakfast snacks that Beijingers often eat. It has a history of more than 300 years, and Dashunzhai’s tanghuoshao is the most famous. Sugar fire is fragrant and sweet, soft and non-sticky, suitable for the elderly. Kiln-oven sesame seed cake was originally a snack in Hebei province, and later it was introduced to Beijing and became a snack in Beijing. It is characterized by making a furnace out of a cylinder, and baking the biscuit green body directly on the cylinder wall.

Toad spits honey

Bean-filled sesame seed cake is a common variety of snacks in Beijing, which is named because it is filled with bean paste. In the baking process, because there is a natural opening on the side of the sesame seed cake, the bean paste is spit out and hung on the side of the sesame seed cake, so people call this kind of sesame seed cake toad spitting honey.

Pea Cake

A seasonal delicacy in Beijing in spring and summer. Originally a folk snack, it was introduced into the court. The official pea yellow, made of fine white peas, is light yellow in color, delicate and pure, melts in the mouth, tastes sweet, cool and refreshing. Famous for Cixi’s love of food. Its preparation method is that peas are ground, peeled, washed, boiled, fried in sugar, coagulated and cut into pieces. Traditionally, it is also embedded with jujube meat. Fangshan restaurant is the most famous one.

　　Qatar has broken 50,000 confirmed cases, and the government has lowered the standards for lifting isolation and discharge.

　　The epidemic situation of Covid-19 in Qatar continues to grow, with new confirmed cases and single-day cured cases reaching new highs. At the same time, the number of single-day cured cases exceeded the number of confirmed cases on the same day for the first time since the outbreak. The Qatari Ministry of Public Health announced on the afternoon of May 28th that in the past 24 hours, 5,853 cases of Covid-19 pneumonia were tested, and 1,967 cases were confirmed, with a total of 50,914 confirmed cases. On the same day, there were three new deaths in Qatar. The deceased were 81 years old, 50 years old and 25 years old respectively. They all suffered from chronic diseases before their death, and the cumulative number of deaths in the country reached 33. In addition, there were 2,116 cured patients in Qatar that day, with a total of 15,399 cases cured. At present, there are still 35,482 people under treatment, of whom 1,608 are hospitalized and 214 are in the intensive care unit. Qatar has conducted a total of 207,033 Covid-19 tests, and the number of confirmed cases accounts for about a quarter of the total number of people tested.

　　△ Qatar Ministry of Public Health official website data

　　The number of cured patients in Qatar has increased significantly, which is largely related to Qatar’s substantial relaxation of the standards for lifting isolation and discharge. According to the previous standard, all confirmed patients need to be negative after two consecutive PCR swab tests before they can leave the hospital. According to the new standard, all asymptomatic infected people can contact and isolate and return home 14 days after the first swab test is positive. For mild infected people, they can be released from isolation and returned home even if they have been diagnosed for 14 days and have no symptoms for the last five consecutive days. After returning home, these people are also required to be isolated at home for another week. In special circumstances such as people over 60 years old at home, additional tests will be carried out before the isolation. If the test is positive, they need to be isolated in isolation facilities for another 7 days, and the isolation can be directly lifted without any tests after 7 days.

　　Qatar said that their adjustment of patients’ discharge standards was based on the guidelines and experience of Britain, the United States, Germany and other countries. After 10 days of diagnosis, patients were no longer contagious, so Qatar decided to locate the release period in Qatar for 14 days.

　　△ Abu Dhabi COVID-19 Testing Center

　　The relevant departments of the UAE did not further explain why the number of new cases dropped sharply for the first time in a single day, nor did they confirm whether the turning point in the development of the UAE epidemic has appeared. A person familiar with the matter alleged that during the Eid al-Fitr period, SEHA, the former UAE company mainly responsible for operating the testing center in COVID-19, closed its testing center in COVID-19 from May 24th. In different regions, the special COVID-19 testing center had different vacation time, some reopened on May 25th, while others opened on May 27th, which may affect the data of the epidemic detection in UAE, but the heads of relevant departments in UAE did not respond to this.

　　△ mall of the emirates
