On January 15, local time, a violent eruption of the submarine volcano on Aha Apai Island in Tongahun triggered a tsunami that caused catastrophic damage to the country, causing 3 deaths and some injuries, and the number of casualties may increase in the future. The Government of Tonga declared a state of emergency in the country.
In this regard, the Beijing News reporter connected with the International Society of Volcanology and Internal Earth Chemistry (IAVCEI) volcanologist Roberto Sulpizio. He said that this is not the worst volcanic eruption in the past 30 years, and this volcanic eruption in Tonga will not have a great impact on the climate.
According to Sulpizio, volcanic ash has a negative impact on people's lives, and can harm the human lungs or other parts of the respiratory system. There is also the problem of water pollution, which also depends on whether the local reference water resources are open or not, but their effects can be mitigated by cleaning the volcanic ash on the surface.
In response to the claim that the volcanic eruption in Tonga will bring about a "summerless year" on the Internet, Sulpizio believes that this statement is exaggerated. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, several cubic kilometers of ash erupted into the air, while the Tonga submarine volcano has so far spewed millions of cubic meters of ash (1 cubic kilometer = 1×103 million cubic meters). In addition, the main eruption phase of Tonga's submarine volcano lasted about 8 minutes, while Pinatubo volcano lasted for several hours. Read the full >>>
When a huge mushroom cloud rose sharply on the surface of the sea, the Tonga volcano erupted in an instant.
At 4:00 p.m. on January 15, Zhang Leilei, a teacher at Liaocheng University in Shandong Province, sent an inquiring message to her colleague Ren Aizhi in Tonga: How are you doing there? She was a little anxious until 4:04 a.m. on the 16th, when the embassy in Tonga called Liaocheng University through a satellite phone to inform Ren Aizhi and that the three foreign aid teachers were safe. Zhang Leilei's hanging heart was put down.
From 2019 to 2022, 7 teachers from Liaocheng University went to Tonga College in two batches to teach vegetable cultivation techniques. Zhang Leilei went to Tonga in 2019. In three years, some of the children have grown taller than their teachers, they look strong and strong, and some students have opened their own small vegetable gardens and sowed the seeds of vegetables they want to eat.
With no vegetable seeds and no agricultural tools to take advantage of, qi hui and Zhang Leilei, female teachers of the "post-60s" generation, decided to do it themselves, and collected seeds and agricultural tools from the Hunan agricultural group and Chinese vegetable merchants who arrived in Tonga earlier through help, rent and self-payment; Two female teachers used their hands to clear the barren grass that was more than one person tall, and then used iron hammers and pickaxes to reclaim and level it out. "The deepest impression is the kind of prickly mimosa that bleeds when you put your hand on it, and the palm of your hand is a blood bubble." Zhang Leilei said.
Zhao Peibao, Ren Aizhi and Zhang Jianfeng, three liaocheng university teachers who are still in Tonga, should have been able to go home in 2020. They were originally tasked with staying there for a year, but they will be there for their third year because of the covid-19 pandemic around the world and the lack of international flights.
"They went safely, and I hope they come back safely." The message sent by Zhang Leilei has not yet received a reply, but she believes that her colleagues will return safely. Read the full >>>
While people are concerned about the disaster in the island country of Tonga, they are also constantly paying attention to the epidemic situation around them. Recently, the question of whether the new crown virus can be transmitted from animal to person has aroused global vigilance.
The Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health of the Hong Kong SAR Government announced on January 18 that a female clerk at a pet store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, was infected with delta strains, and a female customer who had patronized the pet store and her husband were initially diagnosed. After testing, the Hong Kong Fisheries and Conservation Department found that the hamster in the pet store tested positive for the new crown virus.
The Secretary for Food and Health of the Hong Kong SAR Government, Mr Chan Siu-chiu, said that there is no evidence that pets spread the new crown virus, but animal-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out, and relevant measures will still be taken. At present, Hong Kong has stopped the import of all small mammals (including hamsters) into Hong Kong, and reviewed the import quarantine requirements for such animals, and pet shops selling hamsters in Hong Kong must immediately cease to operate.
There has also been a lot of speculation lately that Omikeron has an unusual mutation that may have evolved in an animal host. WHO issued a related statement on 19 January. The statement said that the new crown virus can infect multiple species and that mink and white-tailed deer are potential hosts for the new crown virus, both of which have been confirmed. The possibility of Ami kerong emerging from animal hosts cannot be ruled out, and it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the genome of animal infection with the new crown virus.
At the end of the statement, WHO called for enhanced surveillance and data sharing on animal infections, transmission of the new coronavirus and its evolution, which will help to understand the likelihood of mutations in animals and to identify and assess their public health risks in a timely manner.

This is a child with an "angel face", her skin is snow white, and her skin is so thin that you can see faint red blood. The eyes are large, the eyes are black and bright, and the eyelashes are black and dense, like two small fans scattered. When laughing, the corners of the mouth have a long arc that extends all the way to the ears. Long dark hair to the waist, under the bangs, eyebrows as thin and regular as scissors cut.
Lan Nini is 6 years old this year, always tilting her head to the side, looking at the distance with a melancholy look, and then her eyes focus on a certain point, stunned, and slightly smiling. "Pure, like it hasn't been polluted," some netizens described. Her mother, Xia Ke, runs a Douyin account named after her, "Lan Ni Ni on Earth", which has more than 1.9 million netizens following, most of whom are coming for her appearance.
Xia Ke and her husband Lan Bin never thought they could give birth to such a beautiful child. They were born in a rural area in Fuyang, Anhui Province, and went out to work before graduating from junior high school. Both sons look like ordinary rural youth. A family of three went out to eat noodles, and the noodle shop owner and the boss muttered, "These two people don't look like a drop, how can the child look so good." Every time I heard these words, Xia Ke, as a mother, felt sour in her heart.
Xia Ke said that Lan Nini only has the IQ of a child who is more than 1 year old, she can't shout "Mommy and Daddy", can't talk, and still uses diapers to keep wet. At the age of half a year, Lan Nini was diagnosed with stunting by the Anhui Provincial Hospital; When she was more than 1 year old, doctors at Shanghai Hospital diagnosed Lan nini with autism; The Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital and the First Hospital of Peking University have commissioned a third-party laboratory to do genetic testing for her, and the report shows that she has a neurodegenerative disease with cerebral iron deposition grade 6. It is a rare disease with a prevalence of less than one in a million. As patients age, they develop movement disorders later in life, with cognitive regression, or changes in mental behavior.
The doctors have a variety of opinions about Lan Nini's patients, so that Xia Ke lives in anxiety every day. Xia Ke plans to see the hospital in her hometown in Anhui province first, and then take the child to Beijing for examination later. Read the full >>>
Domestic violence is not a household affair, how many times does such common sense have to be reiterated? On January 19, the domestic violence of his wife by an employee of a company in Shaanxi Province in front of his children caused widespread concern in society. The man frantically punched the woman in the head with a heavy punch, and his hands were extremely brutal, while next to him stood a young child shouting "Mom, Mommy."
What is even more mixed is that the woman did not forget to comfort the child when she was beaten violently, saying, "Baby, don't be afraid." However, in this case, the man has no intention of giving up. Later, an old man dressed in red appeared in the picture, who thought that she had come forward to stop the atrocity, but she did not expect that she only took the girl and let the man continue to commit violence.
On January 20, Shaanxi Airport New Silk Road Trading Co., Ltd. reported that Wang Moufei, deputy manager of the comprehensive department, beat his wife and decided to suspend her and hand her over to the Discipline Inspection Commission. On the morning of January 20, the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Federation said in an interview with the media that the nature of this matter was very bad, and the relevant departments intervened after learning of this matter, and would provide psychological help and legal assistance to the woman and her child in the follow-up. On the afternoon of the 20th, the official WeChat of the Baqiao Branch of the Xi'an Municipal Public Security Bureau announced that the "Wang Moufei Domestic Violence Case" was being handled according to law.
"Domestic violence is only 0 times and countless times" To alleviate the pain of domestic violence, only by stopping and punishing in time can the victims be returned to a clear sky. Acts that seriously infringe on the physical and mental health of family members, once they touch the bottom line of the law, must be handed over to the law for strict handling.
Domestic violence not only takes away love, but also tramples on the dignity of being born as a human being. However, a series of vicious cases such as beauty blogger Mei Ya being abused by domestic violence are telling the public that the hidden nature of domestic violence may make ordinary people blindly tolerate and powerless to seek help, and they cannot escape for a long time.
For victims, it is necessary to recognize the essence of domestic violence and do not have illusions in the face of the perpetrator. Collect evidence, bravely take up legal weapons to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and escape the "quagmire" of violence. Read the full >>>
A year ago today, the 78-year-old Biden officially inaugurated the 46th president of the United States in the cold winds of Washington. Biden, who entered the White House with the highest number of votes in U.S. history, pointed to four major crises facing the United States: COVID-19, the climate crisis, economic recovery and racial equality.
However, a year later, the epidemic rebounded again, the economic recovery was blocked, the bipartisan dispute became fierce, and the satisfaction of the American people with Biden continued to decline. According to pollsters, on January 18, 2022, Biden's average approval rating was only 42 percent, down 13 percent from the beginning of his presidency.
James Thurber, a distinguished professor of government at American University and founder of the Center for Congress and Presidential Studies, told the Beijing News that Biden's main achievements in the past year have been the passage of the $1.9 trillion new crown rescue bill, the passage of the $1 trillion infrastructure investment bill, the signing of the bill to raise the government debt ceiling, and a series of executive orders and many regulatory actions.
But Thurber believes biden's shortcomings over the past year are also very obvious. As President of the United States, Biden has another 3 years to serve. But for him, the next 3 years will only be more difficult. "The main reason is that it's hard for him to get Republicans to support his political agenda."
When Biden became president of the United States, it was a period of high political polarization and serious social division in the United States. Although he promised to unite the two parties, unite the whole country, and become the president of all Americans, Biden may also be powerless in the face of party differences and bipartisan disputes.
