This is a very difficult time for me and for Prime Minister and he called bashing on that he was already under intense International Pressure to signed a cease fire agreement. And now is having an even harder time at home, explaining to people that this was the best option. In the current situation, there was no chance of making another decision. I plan to give more details such as why and what the reason was behind last months events. I cant do right now for one simple reason because stopping military actions is the main focus right now.

The government, however, is adamant that it wont talk until the opposition achieves its objectives of bringing the to great leadership to justice and confiscating or destroying artillery and other arms. The group has, its in possession. What we know was they had some missiles which could go to 300 kilometers. That means they could to strike a marriage and they could also strike our followers.

I discovered chinas top online retailer has kicked off the worlds Biggest Online sale. The cycle singles, a shopping event hosted by the Ali Baba Group is bigger than black friday and cyber monday. In the u. S. Combined nearly 600000. 00 transactions a 2nd, were recorded at its peak this year. Sales have reportedly already reached more than 56000000000. 00. Katrina, you lie for us in beijing. The train is worth repeating that figure again, 600000 transactions a 2nd. Thats extraordinary. What a single strain. Why is it so significant in china . Thats right. Well 1st of all just let me tell you where we are. Were here at a Delivery Center on the outskirts of beijing where some packages are being processed behind me and theyre among the millions and millions of packages that will be shipped across the country, cost china for the single day shopping and that now it was 1st started 12 years ago by economists giant alley at an event to stand. In contrast to valentines day single day is a play on november 11th 1111. Its really a day for those unpartnered people to instead take advantage of discounts and treat themselves to gifts. Now today its much more than that. Many more retailers and online shops take advantage of today, and it appears that lost not only on the never november 11th, but for a period of 2 weeks. But there are markdowns on everything from daily necessities to big ticket items such as cars and even luxury apartments. And the reason this event is so significant is that its seen as a economic for chinas health, really. And especially in a year where president xi jinping is said that the country really needs to turbo charge it shift away from relying on exports to the domestic economy. Building up the consumer market. People are really be encouraged to spend as much as possible, and some people have even been given the day off to do that a day off to do that. Well, katrina, the house, the pandemic. Theres a spending well, the pentagon, a cure in china, is largely under control. Weve seen relatively, very few cases of domestic transmissions in the past few months. That being said, many people have retained the habits that they built up over the time of lock down earlier. This year, and that is to say more people are shopping online even for things that they would traditionally go to brick and mortar shops to buy. So because of that, more people are spending and this year you said 56000000000. 00 earlier during your interview, actually the most updated figure that we have is that 80000000000. 00 has been spent over the last 10 days because of these singles day discounts. And that might be surprising considering the slowing global economy, but analysts have a broken down into 2 types of shoppers who see more price conscious, budget conscious shoplift shop, as who are buying in bulk, taking advantage of discounts on things like to shoe when fresh fruit, but then were also seeing these wealthy a customers in china who have been unable to travel overseas and because of that, the spending a lot more on big ticket luxury items. And of course also wristing a really big shift, the focus you missed by move things to do with taking care of the health service, doing the shipment and the buying of things like of vitamins and supplements, Sporting Goods and of course, face masks. Also katrina, you there reporting for us and beijing trying to spend too much money. Thank you very much.

Vast areas of the capital were underwater to the extent that a prime mode of transport was the canoe. The park aims to bring some of that prehistoric flavor back. Recovering 600. 00 hectares of lakes and lagoons, but theyll be more than just water on offer.
