Two men have been arrested in New York by the FBI, suspected of having opened a secret “police station” on behalf of the Chinese government.
Both men, ages 61 and 59, were arrested at their homes in New York on Monday morning, according to the US Department of Justice.
At the same time, another 34 police officers are accused in China of having monitored and harassed Chinese regime critics living in the United States
– This indictment exposes the Chinese state’s blatant violation of our country’s sovereignty, says prosecutor Breon Pearce.
The police station is said to have been established in early 2022 and used to track and intimidate regime critics in the United States.
It closed last fall, amid the FBI’s investigation.
The two arrested men are then suspected of having deleted all communications with the Chinese government official who was their client.
16-year-old rang the wrong door – got shot
This weekend, large protests broke out in Kansas City in the American Missouri after a black teenage boy was shot.
It was last Thursday that Ralph Yarl, 16, was going to pick up his brothers who were at a friend’s house.
But he rang the wrong door – and was shot twice by the person who lived in the house.
The shots hit the head and chest, the family’s lawyer Ben Crump told CNN. The boy’s condition is now serious but stable.
According to CNN, the shooter was a white man in his 80s.
Police cannot yet say whether there is a racial motive behind the shooting, but the Kansas police chief has said there are elements of such.
On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered outside the house where the shooting took place and chanted “Black lives matter” and “Justice for Ralph”.

Will there be any egg recalls?

According to the information that has gone out, there should be no danger.
To be on the safe side, you can make sure to fry the eggs properly. Salmonella bacteria die at temperatures above 70 degrees.

So far I have read about commuters who waited for the train for 30-50 min. We Stockholmers are well spoiled if it counts as a bigger problem. More information about how safety is affected without train attendants would be better, wouldn’t it?

Hello Tina! Anyone who commutes every day or has followed their everyday life in recent years knows that it’s not just one day they suffer from delays and canceled trains. They are tested quite hard. If you can’t trust when the trains run, it becomes more difficult to plan your everyday life, especially if you depend on commuting every day. Here you can read an article with a train driver who tells more about why they want to keep the train attendants.
