Wild bison are returning to the UK after nearly six thousand years. A small herd of endangered species will be released in Kent in the spring of 2022. In addition to a 1 million project to protect the endangered species, a natural pine forest will be created in the UK. This will create an environment for birds and wildlife through the creation of mixed forests.
According to a report in The Guardian, one male and three female bison will be raised in the early stages of their breeding through natural breeding. Bison usually give birth to a baby once a year. A bison will be brought from the Netherlands or Poland. These two countries have already survived after the bison were released into the wild.
The number of important wildlife in the UK has dropped by an average of 70 per cent since the 1970s. Despite many conservation efforts, the United Kingdom is one of the world's most endangered countries.
Paul Hadoway, director of the Kent Wildlife Trust, said: “The problem we are in now is that the Walder Blin project can be a solution to protecting the climate and nature in a wild and natural way. By conserving species like bison we are going to start the process of natural conservation. Bison usually eat the bark and rub the hair on the tree. When the tree dies, it becomes a habitat for insects. It creates a great environment for birds and other animals. It creates an ecosystem.
Bison existed in the United Kingdom six thousand years ago. Bison later came close to extinction due to hunting and habitat changes. The European bison is a close relative of that bison.

Suddenly soft tone of China, alert India

India is watching the statement of the Chinese ambassador to India while easing tensions in Ladakh. The statement said the two countries should consider each other as allies. Not the opponent. 
This statement has aroused the curiosity of India. Thoughts of the moment in the diplomatic arena, this statement is not only soft in terms of the past, but also inspiring enough respect. After so much bloodshed, what is the main purpose of issuing this statement, the South Bloc is currently engaged in that thought.
Chinese Ambassador Sun Weidong said in a video statement released on Friday night that any doubts and disputes in bilateral relations need to be resolved quickly. The two countries need to build mutual trust and hold strategic discussions from time to time. The two countries should resolve the issue through talks before the situation becomes complicated. The two countries need to understand that they are allies of each other. Not opponents or rivals. It would not be right for both countries to fall into any trap. The ambassador said China is not an expansionist war country at all. Peace should prevail in both India and China. Not conflict.
The two countries have just begun the peace process after bloody clashes between the two sides in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh. In the aftermath of the conflict, however, India has taken multiple measures. For example, it has been decided to strengthen the army presence along the Line of Control throughout the year. Wartime alerts will be maintained throughout the year at Air Force bases. Initiatives have been taken to cut off the Chinese dependence on the Indian economy. Chinese companies are being excluded from many projects. Chinese app being banned. Non-tariff barriers are being created for the unloading of Chinese goods at ports. China has begun to look elsewhere to reduce imports. Most importantly, India is keen to strengthen the anti-China international alliance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticized 'Chinese expansionism' without naming it. Whether the Chinese ambassador made such a soft statement just to keep business interests intact in this situation is being debated in the South Bloc.
According to a source in the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, the statement is very 'compromising' in terms of past experience. According to the source, various organizations at the private level had earlier called for a boycott of Chinese products. The Chinese ambassador then called a press conference and sternly warned India that boycotting Chinese goods would cripple the Indian economy. This time there was talk of a boycott at the government level, but the ambassador's remarks were flexible. According to the source, Sun Widong has made this "cautious and compromising" statement realizing the adverse international reaction so that the situation does not escalate further.
The idea, part of the Foreign Ministry, is that China is giving mixed indications. In Galwan, China has suffered more casualties than India. This was the first time they got a small introduction to the strength of the Indian Army. It is a big reason for their enlightenment. So they agreed to retreat to Galwan and establish peace through compromise. But at the same time they are putting pressure on India through Nepal and Bhutan. According to this source, what the Chinese ambassador is doing to keep the anti-India Prime Minister Kharga Prasad Sharma Oli in power in Nepal is unprecedented in the diplomatic field. Again, all of a sudden, they have pushed for Bhutan's eastern border, which is adjacent to Arunachal Pradesh.
India's strategy is to strengthen power and surveillance along the Line of Actual Control. Accelerate the construction of infrastructure. Keep an eye on the situation in Nepal and Bhutan. And to put pressure on China by taking an active part in international alliances. The Nepalese government has hastily shut down India's private television channels, but India has not yet commented. For the time being, the South Bloc is keen to see the consequences of the internal strife of the ruling party in that country.

Rain-damaged Japan

The death toll from the monsoon rains has risen sharply in recent days in several parts of Japan.  A view of the flood situation in southern Japan.  The picture was taken on July 5.  Photo: Reuters
A weather belt of monsoon rains now hangs over Japan. As a result, heavy rains in recent days have caused severe damage in some parts of Japan. At the same time, the number of casualties is also increasing. Heavy rains that began last Saturday morning first hit several districts on the southwestern island of Kyushu, leaving unprepared people in remote mountainous areas stranded.
Landslides and mudslides along with rains increase human misery. At least 57 people have been confirmed dead in Kyushu before the meteorological zone moved north and northwest, respectively. More than a dozen others are still missing or have been rescued, but no trace of life has been found in them. Gifu and Nagano districts in central Japan are now rainy.
The rainy season in Japan lasts one month and is now coming to an end. As a result, experts are now analyzing the reasons behind this untimely rainfall and the number of deaths. The amount of daily rainfall recorded in the last few days is more than 200 mm. This is very unusual for Japan. Meteorologists say that the amount of rainfall that has been calculated in 51 different places in the country has shown that the number of days that have received 200 mm of rain per day has been increasing in the last 100 years. They are blaming climate change for this.
As global warming causes sea surface temperatures to rise, sea water evaporates and merges with the air to form clouds. As the rainforest hangs over the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of ​​Japan, it begins to move towards the mainland of Japan. This kind of calculation has worked behind the excessive rainfall this time. As a result, they say, the message of being more vigilant about climate change is coming with this year's rains.
On the other hand, various quarters of the country are also expressing concern over the increasing number of deaths due to natural disasters in Japan. However, some other calculations are working more than climate change behind these deaths. As the country's population continues to decline, remote areas of Japan are now home to many older people. Many young people in rural areas are flocking to the big cities of the country to enjoy better living and working opportunities. As a result, small villages and towns, especially in remote areas, are now home to the elderly. Many schools have also closed due to lack of students due to declining population.
As a result, in case of heavy rains or any other natural calamity, it is not possible for the elderly to get out quickly and move to a safe haven. Because the elderly live alone in many homes, the message of what's going on around them doesn't reach them very often. As a result, they are more likely to die when they are trapped in a large-scale disaster such as landslides or mudslides. This year's heavy rains also showed the same picture to the people of Japan. In a developed country like Japan, the death toll from heavy rains is not expected to exceed 50. As a result, the government is rethinking what to do next.

Some areas in the Chinese capital, Beijing, have been locked down for fear of a new outbreak of the coronavirus. The move comes on the heels of reports of six people being infected with the coronavirus.
A local outbreak is feared in Beijing, the news agency AFP reported.
A press briefing on Thursday quoted city officials in Beijing as saying that people in 11 residential areas in Beijing's Fengtai district had been told not to leave their homes. Most of those newly infected with corona have links to a local meat market with illness.
Officials say this is the first case of Kovid-19 in Beijing in the past two months. Many of the infected people visited the local Sinfadi meat market last week. No one from outside has come or gone inside Beijing.
China's internal outbreak was largely brought under control through a severe widespread lockdown after the first disease was detected in Wuhan last year. That drastic lockdown has been greatly eased as the rate of infection has decreased.
Most of the infected patients that have been identified in recent times are immigrants. Of the six newly infected, three were workers at the Sinfadi meat market, one was a market traveler and the other two were workers at the China Meat Research Center, seven kilometers away. An employee also went to the market last week. Authorities closed the market. In addition, the seafood market that an infected person went to nearby has also been shut down.
Hundreds of police officers and paramilitary troops have been deployed in the two markets. Nearby schools and kindergartens have been closed. The chairman of Sinfadi Market told Beijing News that the virus had spread fears about Beijing's food supply system after it was found on an imported salmon chopping board.
The Beijing Market Surveillance Authority is launching monitoring of fresh and frozen meat, poultry and fish markets, warehouses and cutting services to investigate food security issues across the city. Overnight the big supermarket chains have removed their salmon from the capital. Many restaurants have stopped serving salmon. Authorities have announced a quick test of all those who have come in contact with the victims in the Sinfadi market. In addition, market workers are being tested.

Warda is a woman from Kuwait. Warda's family has allowed 37-year-old to go to only two places. His workplace and beauty salon. The salon is now closed due to corona infection. But it was here that Warda got the opportunity to interact with others in the society. The salon was closed three months ago to prevent coronary infection. For Wardar, a window to the outside world seems to be closed. He has been depressed and frustrated ever since.
Warda told AFP: 'He remembers the time he talked there. I come from a conservative family. Don't go out too much. I would go to the salon to enjoy the time. Can't imagine how much fun we had there. ' When the salon will open, Warda is waiting for him. "I can't imagine my life without a salon," he said.
Women are serving in various top levels of government in Kuwait. However, there are strict restrictions on some old-fashioned families. Women of such families cannot go to any shopping mall, coffee shop, or even for exercise alone. However, women are allowed to go to salons run for beauty treatments. Women can go to these salons for regular work. Things like men's hangouts, coffee drinks are known as 'diwania' in Kuwait. Women's salons are considered as an alternative.
In Kuwait, it is difficult to find a building that does not have one or two salons in shopping areas. Adiba Al Wadi operates two AIIMS salons in the Al Fintas area south of Kuwait City. He said salons have become a part of life.
In the oil-rich country of Kuwait, the average annual income is more than হাজার 60,000. Most of the citizens here are accustomed to living a luxurious life. For this reason, most Kuwaiti women are accustomed to going to beauty salons.
A woman from the United Arab Emirates told AFP that several Kuwaiti women visit salons at least twice or thrice a week. There they talk to others. Drink coffee.
Kuwaiti women will have to wait until next September to open such salons.
According to AFP, there are more than 34,000 unidentified people in Kuwait. 279 people have died in the country.
Corona has caused many businesses in Kuwait to collapse. Staff have also been laid off in the salons.
Adiba Al Wadi, director of the salon, said: But we did not get permission. Adiba doesn't expect the salons to be social gatherings again after being closed for a long time. Because, as a precaution, there will be restrictions on social gatherings in salons. Wadi said he thinks Kuwaiti women will go to the salon to get the services they need in the future. Salons can no longer be the center of their social interactions.
