Beijing agrees with Moscow that US-led NATO military alliance should not admit new members.
Russia won China’s backing in its showdown with the West over Ukraine as Beijing agreed with Moscow the US-led NATO military alliance should not admit new members. The demand for NATO to stop expanding came after a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing, in which the Russian leader hailed the two countries’ “dignified relationship”. In a long strategy document, Moscow and Beijing hit out at what they said was Washington’s destabilising role in global security. “The parties oppose the further expansion of NATO and call on the North Atlantic Alliance to abandon the ideological approaches of the Cold War era,” the document said, urging respect for the “sovereignty, security and interests of other countries”. The call echoed demands from Russia at the centre of weeks of intensive negotiations between Moscow and the West, under the shadow of a potential conflict. Western capitals have accused Russia of amassing some 100,000 troops on the borders of pro-Western Ukraine in preparation for an invasion, and have pledged to impose devastating sanctions on Moscow if it attacks. Russia has denied any such plans.

Rescue workers in Morocco have come closer to helping a young child trapped at the bottom of a well in a delicate operation. The five-year-old boy, Rayan, fell into the well in the northern hill town of Bab Berred on Tuesday and his plight has gripped the North African country. “I ask Moroccans to pray for the safe return of my son,” Rayan’s distraught mother said in footage shown on local media. State news outlet SNRT News quoted a rescuer on Friday saying the boy was still alive. Rescue machines had worked under floodlights throughout Thursday night, with excavations turning the landscape into a construction site of red earth in the forested countryside. “We’re almost there. We’ve been working non-stop for three days and tiredness is kicking in, but the whole rescue team is hanging on,” said one of the operation’s leaders, Abdesalam Makoudi. The well is 32m deep and narrows as it descends from its 45cm (18-inch) diameter at the top, which means the rescuers cannot go down themselves to retrieve the child. The hilly region around Bab Berred is bitterly cold in winter and though food has been lowered to Rayan, it was not clear whether he has eaten any. He has also been supplied with water and oxygen using a tube. Once they reach the same depth as the well, the rescuers can start digging horizontally to save him, a witness told Reuters news agency, confirming reports by local media. One of the rescue team members told local media on Friday: “We are preparing the most critical and most complicated rescue step … we need to dig horizontally three to five metres.” “But to do so we have to stabilise the earth and remove the risk of landslide because we will deploy a rescue team and we cannot jeopardise their lives.” A helicopter is standing by to ferry Rayan to hospital as soon as he is freed. Outpouring of supportThe incident has sparked an outpouring of sympathy online on social media, with the Arabic hashtag #SaveRayan going viral across North Africa. Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi mentioned the rescue efforts on social media, alongside emojis of a broken heart and hands together in prayer. Algerian footballer Riyad Mahrez also joined the chorus of solidarity, sharing a picture of Rayan on Facebook alongside the hashtag “Stay Strong”. The boy’s fate has also attracted crowds of people to the site of the operation, and authorities have called on the public to “let the rescuers do their job and save this child”. A senior police officer said that Vinay was addicted to porn soon after he married Mamatha and he was also forcing her to watch it
BENGALURU: Cyber Crime police from South East Division have arrested a salesman of an electrical shop after he offered 'wife-swapping' through a social media account. He created the account in the name of a woman to contact people and used to video record the act on his phone. Later, a police informer noticed it and alerted the Cyber Crime police who swung into action and arrested him. The arrested man has been identified as Vinay M, 28, hailing from Mandya who married his colleague Mamatha (name changed) in 2019 after they fell in love. The couple has a one-year-old son. A senior police officer said that Vinay was addicted to porn soon after he married Mamatha and he was also forcing her to watch it. Later, he had asked her to get involved in fantasy pornography to which she agreed. They then began filming their intimate moments. Recently he asked Mamatha whether she is interested in 'wife-swapping' and she agreed. Then he began promoting it via a social media account. Later, the couple switched to another platform to contact customers and used to ask them to meet them at his house in Singasandra near Electronic City and also film the act. Vinay told police that he never demanded money from those coming to his house and sometimes he used to accept it if they wished to pay. The police have seized the gadgets of the couple for further investigation. It may be recalled that in November 2021, a 46-year-old realtor was bludgeoned to death by his wife in Madanayakanahalli near Nelamangala after he allegedly forced her to indulge in wife-swapping with one of his relatives. The deceased was identified as Swamy Raj, a resident of Harokyathanahalli, who had married the accused after separating from his first wife. A month ago, Kerala was rocked by a 'wife-swapping' case after Kottayam police had arrested six men who were allegedly part of online sex rings with 1000 members. |
