All black boxes of MU5735 crash arrive in the United States, waiting for analysis results

According to a report by Bloomberg, the two black boxes from the MU5735 crash have now been sent to a laboratory in the United States for analysis. The outside world expects real conclusions.

Bloomberg reported on 4 April 2022 that the two black boxes of China Eastern flight MU5735 that crashed last month have arrived in the United States for analysis, and the outside world expects the cause of the crash to be clarified soon.

Experts in the air crash investigation expect the investigation team to produce analysis data within one to two weeks. Although the intensity of the crash of the China Eastern passenger plane was very high, and the first black box was damaged to varying degrees, experts said that they had never heard of black box data that was completely irrecoverable.

Some analysts have previously believed that the CCP, which is accustomed to covering up the truth of the accident, is likely not to share the real data of the black box with the outside world. Therefore, the two black boxes of the crashed passenger plane of China Eastern Airlines were sent to the United States, which surprised the outside world.

The explanation of the mainland portal "NetEase" indicates that China may not currently have the ability to interpret the damaged black box, because "the black box requires very professional equipment to read data, and even requires the use of a spectrum analyzer", "If there is no top-level equipment to analyze the data, secondary damage may be caused." "The black box was sent to the United States for security reasons."

MU5735 crash is full of doubts and has received widespread international attention, and it is difficult to cover up.

On 21 March, flight MU5735 crashed on its way from Kunming to Guangzhou, killing all 132 people on board. It was the worst air disaster in CCP China in the past 30 years.

An "unidentified aircraft" appeared over Guangzhou? It's probably an airplane track cloud!

Reporter: Liang Yitao, Golden Sheep Net

Image : Web Screenshot


Guangzhou sky often has "unidentified aircraft"? Under the background of clear weather, many netizens recently photographed scenes in Guangzhou and surrounding areas where flying objects "drag" the white or yellowish clouds at the tail. As netizens uploaded the captured scenes to social media, "#Netizens photographed an unidentified aircraft over Guangzhou#" became a hot search on Sina Weibo. On 5 April, the Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau responded to netizens that the scenes captured by netizens were likely to be scenes of flight trail clouds left by planes.

According to the Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau, during the flight of a jet aircraft, the engine will emit a large amount of hot and humid air. If this hot and humid air is combined with high-altitude dry air, it may produce track clouds. It is reported that the track cloud is a kind of ice crystal cloud, which is generally formed in the cold conditions of -50 ℃ or the altitude of more than 9 kilometers when the temperature is lower. Exhaust from jet aircraft increases the water vapor content of the atmosphere in the cold upper air, and it cools to saturation at high altitudes to form clouds of ice crystals. As a busy airspace, the sky around Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta often has planes flying over, but not necessarily the formation of track clouds every time. This is because the formation of track clouds requires high-altitude temperature, humidity, air saturation and other factors. In most cases, the track cloud will soon combine with the high-altitude dry and cold air and sublimate and disappear. There are also some track clouds, which exist for a long time because the upper air is close to saturation, and often expand into wider banded clouds.

According to the analysis of photos and videos recently taken by citizens, the Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau shows that the length of the track clouds captured by the citizens is short, and the duration of time in the sky is very short, and no band-like clouds have been formed for a long time, which shows that the weather in Guangzhou has been dry recently. , the high-altitude atmospheric humidity is not high.

The reporter found that when searching for "#Netizens photographed an unidentified aircraft appearing over Guangzhou#" on Sina Weibo, you will see pictures of so-called "UFOs" uploaded by netizens. At one end of the body is an airplane in flight. "As if a meteor flew by, take the opportunity to make a wish." Some netizens said after learning the "truth".

Violent incidents in Shanghai's epidemic prevention are frequent under the zero-covid policy

Reporters : Li Shanshan, Yiri, Liufang / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/05/a103392772.html




In order to implement the central government's goal of clearing the country, Shanghai has imposed a strong lockdown. There have been continuous incidents of local epidemic prevention personnel violence against the public, which have been exposed.

On 5 April, a video showed the authorities violently confronting people when they were quarantined on the bus.

In Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, a staff member wearing a white protective suit beat and kicked people. The video caused public outrage online. The reporter verified with the police station of Chedun Township and confirmed that this was indeed the case.

Chedun Town Police Station officer, Songjiang District, Shanghai: I know about this matter. What do you want to prove? Tell me. This matter is handled by the Songjiang Public Security Bureau, and they will send special personnel to investigate directly.

The beating isn't the only one. A video shows eight people in white protective suits beating a young man outside the Lianyang Community in Songjiang District. The reporter asked the police station in his jurisdiction, Rongle East Road police station for verification.

Rongle East Road Police Station officer, Songjiang District, Shanghai: What's the point of reporting negative things like this? Let me tell you, our police station has no right to answer any questions. If you want to ask questions, just ask, contact our police station.

Shanghai residents said that although they were locked up at home, they had seen several similar cases online.

Mr. Chen, a resident of Shanghai: This Dabai is collectively called Dabai, but there are many ingredients in it. The one who wears white clothes is called Dabai, but when the police come to the door, he also wears white clothes and is also Dabai.

Mr. Chen said that the community volunteers are all neighbors and are unlikely to beat people. These people may be the army, armed police or public security.

Mr. Chen: This kind of person may be an armed policeman, or an armed policeman trained by the police station, trained to capture, you can see that he has been trained by seeing this action, and he will knock him down at once. 

A blogger reposted the video from Chedun Township and received a call from the Songjiang District Public Security Bureau to delete the post. In the recorded conversation between the two, the Public Security Bureau admitted that this happened within two days, but did not dare to respond to whether Dabai in the video was a police officer.

The incident caused public outrage. People said, "Remember in China, the era when people who were not aggressive could be beaten to death in full view of the public should be the Cultural Revolution."

China's epidemic prevention is full of chaos, police and urban management show their authority

Reporters : Zhao Fenghua and Yuwei / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/06/a103393038.html

Shanghai has been under lockdown for more than a week. Due to the extreme shortage of supplies, many families are facing food shortages. Interactions in the WeChat group of residents of the sealed-off community have led to offline gatherings, but these are all under the supervision of the authorities. The person who asks the question first becomes the first target. Now some volunteers have inadvertently revealed that the local epidemic prevention is in cooperation with the urban management!

A video on the Internet shows that a policeman not only did not give a clear response to the collective demands of the public for basic materials but first took away the person who reported the situation.

Shanghai police: Don't be incited by others, think about its consequences.

Shanghai police: You follow me to the police station.

Shanghai police: I'm summoning you, don't get dizzy, I tell you, come with me! Come!

Shanghai Police: Go back and think about it, is your behavior, including inciting others, appropriate and legal?

Shanghai police: You instigated so many people!

Shanghai resident: I came voluntarily!

Shanghai resident: Formal channels are blocked!

Shanghai police: It's normal to fail!

The police kept urging the lady to move forward. He yelled at her as he walked.

Shanghai resident: Our family of five has not bought anything to eat. Can you solve our food and clothing problem by doing this now?

Shanghai police: What are you doing down here? Are you going in too?

Shanghai police: Turn off your phone!

The video has been fermented on the Internet and has more than one million views.

A netizen left a message and said: "This police officer obviously knows the law and breaks the law. The girl asked everyone to report the problem together, and he was charged with incitement, so she could take her to the police station? Isn't this a crime for words? And this police enforces the law. The attitude is very vicious, bullying others, arrogant, arrogant, and doesn't take the people as masters!"

Another video uploaded by netizens showed that on 4 April, two stores in Pudong, Shanghai, opened their doors regardless of the authorities’ closure, and customers lined up in long queues. Although the two stores were punished by the authorities, they were praised by the public.

A netizen said, "I don't deny the problem of the store, it is indeed illegal but it steals fire to humans like Prometheus, and let the warmth traverse the earth, shouldn't it be indirectly rewarded? Sometimes it should be given a pennant. "

Some netizens also said, "If the supplies can keep up, I don't think anyone is willing to take the risk to open a store at this time. Why do citizens come out to buy supplies when they have no food or drink at home, are they waiting for the pie at home?"

Another video uploaded by netizens to Twitter showed a group of epidemic prevention personnel in white coats punching and kicking a woman. Now there is news that the local epidemic prevention is in cooperation with the urban management!

Some volunteers inadvertently revealed that the local "testing work is mainly in charge of the urban management department, with the cooperation of the neighborhood committee, and a nucleic acid doctor".

Another video shows epidemic prevention personnel in Fenghuang Town, Heze, Shandong Province, arresting people on the street to shave their "yin and yang heads" after the city was closed to humiliate the public. Officials have rarely acknowledged this.

What does the medical and special police supplies from all over the country help Shanghai indicate?

In the past month, the epidemic situation in mainland China has become more serious again, and in addition to Jilin City and Changchun in Jilin Province, the most serious areas are followed by Shanghai and have already caught up. From March 28th, the Shanghai official launched the "phased prevention and control" with the Huangpu River as the boundary, and quickly changed it to "global static management" on the 31st. There has never been such an empty street and alleys, all of which are open to the outside world. It conveys the information that the epidemic situation in Shanghai is extremely serious.

Various information from the public shows that there are more infected people, and many Shanghai people who have been banned have encountered difficulties in eating food and seeing a doctor. Death cases, and many hospital medical staff have been infected.

It can be proved that the epidemic situation in Shanghai is extremely serious at this time, and medical care and supplies from all over the country have rushed to Shanghai, and even the special police and takeaway brothers from other places have also been transported to Shanghai. It is also like the support from all parts of the country to Wuhan, which is severely affected by the epidemic in 2020.

List of regional hospitals that assist Shanghai Anti-epidemic Medical Team

Based on the information on the Internet, as of 28 March 2022, the following regional hospitals have assisted the Shanghai Anti-epidemic Medical Team: Zhejiang University Second Doctor, Zhejiang University First Doctor, Zhejiang Provincial Tongde Hospital, Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Hospital, Zhejiang Hospital, Zhejiang University Run Run Shaw Hospital; Taizhou Second People's Hospital; Suzhou High-tech Zone People's Hospital, Suzhou Ninth Hospital, Suzhou Wuzhong Chengnan; Changshu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital; Ningbo First Hospital, Ningbo Women's and Children's Hospital, Ningbo University School of Medicine Affiliated Hospital, Ningbo City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Ningbo Second Hospital; Shaoxing City People's Hospital; Taicang First People's Hospital; Hangzhou Normal University Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou Ninth People's Hospital, Hangzhou First Hospital, Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital ; Shengzhou People's Hospital; Huzhou Women's Insurance Hospital, Huzhou First People's Hospital; Xi'an City Aid Shanghai Medical Team; Beijing 1800 Shanghai Aid Medical Team.

List of nucleic acid testing teams

In addition, there are thousands of nucleic acid testing teams in Anhui (Huibei, Bozhou, Bengbu, Lu'an, Ma'anshan, Anqing, Tongling), 400 people in Yangzhou (Gaoyou, Jiangdu, Subei People's Hospital, Yangzhou University Affiliated Hospital, Yangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital) , Yangzhou aided Changzhou nucleic acid collection medical team).

According to a Shanghai media report on 1 April, there were 8 teams from Zhejiang University Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University Fourth Hospital, Jinhua Medical Team, Ningbo Medical Team, Shaoxing Medical Team, Lishui Medical Team 1, Lishui Medical Team 2, Taizhou Medical Team, and 1,800 people. More than a dozen medical staff supported nucleic acid sampling in Malu Town, Anting Town, Nanxiang Town, Jiangqiao Town, Zhenxin Street, and Jiading Industrial Zone.

Obviously, in addition to participating in nucleic acid testing of all staff, the tasks of the above-mentioned medical staff in Shanghai also include taking over some hospitals with medical shortages. It is reported that the medical staff in Zhejiang traveled back and forth on the same day and stayed at the resort hotel in Huzhou. This is probably also to reduce the burden on Shanghai.

News (15)

Medical staff infected and diagnosed cover-up

Then a question is, how many medical staff in Shanghai have been infected and diagnosed? This is undoubtedly a mystery, and the Shanghai authorities will never announce it.

In addition to a large number of medical staff supporting Shanghai, some netizens posted videos showing that a large number of special police officers from Shandong entered Shanghai. The authorities said they were supporting the fight against the epidemic but Shanghai residents said they were here to maintain stability because many communities in Shanghai protested due to the lack of food. In the video, there are as many as 18 vehicles carrying special police officers and three buses. It is estimated that there are more than 100 Shandong special police stationed in Shanghai.

News (16)

Mystery of the Shanghai police whereabouts

Another question raised by this is: what happened to the Shanghai special police and the police? Too many infected people and unable to perform tasks? Still unwilling to participate in stability maintenance? Moreover, it is also very strange to mobilize the special police from Shandong in the north to enter Shanghai instead of the special police from neighbouring Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places to enter Shanghai.

It is suspected many Shanghai's takeaway sorting staff are infected

Not only that, but what many people did not expect is that on 31 March, there was a special plane that brought 120 takeaways from Guangzhou, officially known as "fruit and vegetable sorters", to Shanghai to help Shanghai people sort vegetables for residents that need food support. 

This seems to illustrate another problem: Shanghai's takeaway sorting staff probably have a large number of infected people, and can no longer undertake the heavy sorting and delivery tasks.

Severe food shortage in Shanghai, urgent food assistance from other provinces

Hangzhou rushes to Shanghai with 100,000 catties of bamboo shoots every day. In addition, Yunnan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Jiangsu and other places also mobilize vegetables and fruits to help Shanghai. Anhui also donated hundreds of thousands of milliliters of blood.

CCP officials from Beijing have intervened in Shanghai

In addition to the fact that the number of infected people in Shanghai is indeed quite large, Chen Erzhen, the leader of the medical treatment team at the centralized isolation point in Shanghai, who was the leader of the third batch of medical teams in Shanghai to aid Hubei, said that "the scale of the outbreak of this epidemic is larger than that of Wuhan but the severity of the disease is lower than that of Wuhan.” It also shows that the real commander of Shanghai’s anti-epidemic is no longer local officials in Shanghai, and the high-level officials of Zhongnanhai in Beijing should have already intervened.

Why would you said this? First of all, with the help of Shanghai Secretary Li Qiang, it is impossible to mobilize medical staff and other personnel, and even materials from so many provinces, especially Beijing. Under the rule of the CCP, there is no unified order from the central government, so many people and materials rushed to Shanghai and It is unimaginable without wrangling, and such orders can only come from the top. Just like in Wuhan, the highest level of Zhongnanhai personally directed the fight against the epidemic. According to the article "Xi Jinping Leads China's War against the Epidemic" on 7 September 2020, he directed and launched a "people's war, general war, and blocking war", "mobilizing the whole country to encircle and suppress the epidemic". Covi is a powerful enemy invisible to the naked eye.” “According to people familiar with the situation, during the severe stage of the epidemic, Xi Jinping was concerned about the prevention and control of the epidemic day and night, and gave instructions in various ways every day.”

Shanghai epidemic prevention is a battle that CCP cannot afford to lose

The article also mentioned that on 22 January, Xi Jinping made important instructions to immediately implement strict closed traffic control on the movement of people and external channels in Hubei Province and Wuhan. He said: "It takes great political courage to make this decision, but it must be done when it is time to do it, otherwise it will be disrupted and chaotic." The next day, Wuhan, a megacity with a population of 10 million, was quarantined for an unprecedented time.

From this, it can be inferred that the shutdown order in Shanghai, which is far more important than Wuhan, can only come from Zhongnanhai, and it is not something that Li Qiang can make. Moreover, just before the semi-shutdown, the Shanghai official issued a statement that Shanghai could not be closed. It is only logical that the highest level of Zhongnanhai made the decision to close the city and support it with the strength of the whole country.

So, is Zhongnanhai's high-level intervention in Shanghai's anti-epidemic really just because of the epidemic? Obviously not so simple. Shanghai is the hometown of the Jiang faction. Secretary Li Qiangchuan is a close associate of Xi, and he has mobilized special police officers from Shandong instead of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to enter Shanghai. All stability maintenance tools have a distrustful attitude. Fan Huaping, director of the Shandong Public Security Bureau, is from Yunnan and has no obvious factional background, so he sent his subordinates to Shanghai or to help Li Qiang maintain stability.

In addition, under the repeated attacks from the opposition forces within the party, including the Jiang faction, the top officials of Zhongnanhai may take advantage of the epidemic to further weaken the power of the Jiang faction in Shanghai, such as replacing some officials. But there is also a possibility that due to the large number of infected people in Shanghai, it is difficult to achieve the goal of clearing in the short term, and as an international metropolis, the longer Shanghai is closed, the greater the impact on the domestic economy. The more negative the impact, the Jiang faction and other opposing forces may use the voices of civil and international dissatisfaction to force the palace against Zhongnanhai. This battle with no smoke of gunpowder under the Shanghai epidemic was far from simple before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It has just been reported that an internal meeting in Shanghai called for a "last battle", indicating that this is a battle against the epidemic that Beijing simply cannot afford to lose.

EU leaders plan to place Vladimir Putin's daughters on its latest sanction hit-list as the bloc prepares its latest crackdown on Moscow in the wake of alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

Katerina Tikhonova, 35, and Mariya Vorontsova, 36, are on the EU's latest draft list of targets that includes oligarchs, politicians and those said to be within Putin's inner circle.

Little is known about the personal lives of Tikhonova, a scientist and former acrobat, and Vorontosva, an endocrinologist, but they are expected to be subject to asset freezes and travel bans across the continent from Wednesday.

Although it is unclear if the pair have holdings outside of Russia, any potential life of luxury they could have led in Europe is now likely to be a distant dream.

It comes as the G7, EU and United States are said to have agreed on a ban on 'all new investment' in Russia as part of its latest economic retaliation against Putin.

The new measures will also widen the net of sanctions on Russian banks and state owned businesses and aim to cripple government officials and their family members.

The latest round of sanctions are understood to have been trigged by allegations of 'genocide', atrocities and war crimes against Ukrainian civilians discovered after Russian troops fell back from their position in Bucha, near Kyiv.

Further Russian imports banned

Further Russian imports worth an estimated £4.6bn each year, understood to include cement, liquor, vodka and caviar, will also be banned under the new raft of measures. 

Other measures proposed by the EU's executive arm include sanctions on more individuals and four key Russian banks, including the second-largest, VTB.

'These four banks, which we now totally cut off from the markets, represent 23% of market share in the Russian banking sector,' EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said.

If the proposal is adopted unanimously by all 27 EU countries, the new package of sanctions would also ban Russian vessels and Russian-operated vessels from EU ports, with exceptions for essentials such as agricultural and food products, and humanitarian aid and energy.

Further targeted export bans worth 10 billion euros (£8.3 billion) have been proposed in sectors covering quantum computers, advanced semiconductors, sensitive machinery and transportation equipment.

Von der Leyen said, "With this, we will continue to degrade Russia's technological base and industrial capacity."

On 5 April local time, when an Air France Boeing 777 was about to land in Paris, the pilot suddenly found that he could not control the plane and then took off again. After a brief period of nervousness and panic, the crew finally managed to land the plane.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency and the "Daily Mail" report on the 5th, the plane departed from New York, the United States to Paris, France, and an accident occurred during the landing. In a recording of a call between the pilot and the airport's air traffic controller, cockpit sirens and the pilot's heavy breathing as he struggled to control the plane could be heard. When the traffic controller asked what happened, the pilot yelled "Stop! Stop!" and said he would reply later. Shortly after, the pilots explained to the tower that they were temporarily unable to control the plane and would land on another runway. At the time of the failure, the plane was at a minimum altitude of 1,100 feet (335 m) above the ground.

Czech Republic is the first NATO country to deliver heavy armour to Ukraine

The Czech Republic has become the first NATO country to send tanks to Ukraine, providing T-72 and armoured infantry vehicles following President Zelensky's plea for help. 

Several BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, howitzer artillery pieces and more than a dozen T-72 tanks were yesterday loaded on a train bound for Ukraine, footage published by Czech Television showed. 

The delivery is understood to be a gift agreed on by NATO allies, raising fears the trans-Atlantic bloc could be dragged into the Russian war in Ukraine despite remaining on the sidelines for more than a month. 

NATO leaders have so far given Ukraine anti-tank and anti-craft missiles as well as small arms and protective equipment, but have not offered any heavy armour or fight jets. 

Czech Defence Minister Jana Cernochova told parliament on 5 April 2022, "I will only assure you that the Czech Republic is helping Ukraine as much as it can and will continue to help by [supplying] military equipment, both light and heavy."

She declined to provide further details on the transfer but it comes after Ukraine's Vlodymyr Zelenskyy demanded NATO deliver armour, fighter jets and other military equipment during a summit in Brussels on 24 March 2022. 

The Czech delivery has been funded by Prague as well as private donors who have contributed to a crowdsourced fundraising campaign to supply arms to Kyiv, the Wall Street Journal reported.  

Prague, and neighbouring Slovakia, are also considering helping repair and refit damaged Ukrainian military equipment. Germany will sent several dozen infantry fighting vehicles to Kyiv and the UK has approved the delivery of 20 ambulances.
