- Thirty lions and tigers have begun leaving Argentina's former Lujan Zoo for wildlife sanctuaries in South Africa and the United States. The zoo closed in 2020 over safety and animal welfare concerns, leaving dozens of big cats stranded in cramped concrete enclosures.
Nine tigers and six lions will be relocated to the LIONSROCK sanctuary in South Africa, while eight tigers and seven lions will go to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado. The international animal welfare organization Four Paws described the operation as one of the world's largest relocations of captive big cats. #AnimalRescue #BigCats #LujanZoo #worldnow

- US President Donald Trump said he would "pretty soon" declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory during a speech at a police academy in Garden City, New York, on August 14.
Trump claimed the US blockade effectively controls the strategic waterway, saying no ships "get through unless we want them to." The remarks came as he pivoted away from the event's original focus on crime and public safety.
He also urged Americans to accept more pain at the pump, saying it was the price of stopping a "very evil country" from obtaining nuclear weapons. #Trump #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USPolitics #worldnow

- Anita Mendiratta, special advisor to the UN Secretary-General on Aviation and Tourism Development, spoke to CGTN Europe. She noted this represents a significant moment for global aviation as the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) enters the aircraft supply chain, offering complementary options in a market with high demand and limited supply.
However, COMAC remains in early stages, Anita noted, facing challenges with delivery timelines and dependence on external supply chains for critical components. The C919, which competes with Boeing's 737 MAX and Airbus's New Engine Option (NEO) aircraft, presents promise for sustainable aviation, but COMAC must overcome regulatory and quality assurance hurdles to expand its customer base beyond China.

- China launched pilot projects for 10-gigabit optical networks in 2025 as part of efforts to advance next-generation communications infrastructure. A chemical plant in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, one of the pilot sites, has integrated the high-speed network with AI algorithms to develop an intelligent alarm system. The system can issue warnings within milliseconds while simultaneously streaming real-time 8K high-definition video.
Beyond 10-gigabit optical networks, China is upgrading 5G base stations to 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and advancing technological development toward 6G.
China is also developing satellite internet infrastructure, with batches of satellites being launched to build the Guowang and Qianfan low-Earth-orbit (LEO) internet constellations. #network #telecom #5g #ai #satellite #internet

- China's underground pipelines are about to get smarter and safer. The country plans to build or upgrade more than 700,000 kilometers of pipelines over the next five years. Keeping them in check is difficult work, so cities are turning to robots.
In Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, inspection robots patrol buried gas pipelines daily. They detect temperature changes, gas leaks and other problems without sending a single worker underground. When finished, they self-recharge.
In Shiyan, central China's Hubei Province, robots inspect sewage pipes for cracks and leaks, eliminating dust and safety hazards.
No hard hats. No cramped tunnels. Just robots handling the work humans once dreaded. #robot #china #tech

- Description
- From pre-war militarism to post-war LDP rule, Japan has long held a "winner's mentality," says Yang Bojiang, chairman of the Chinese Association of Japanese Studies. Why has Germany been able to confront its wartime past more fully than Japan? Germany was divided into occupation zones controlled by several Allied powers, while the occupation of Japan was overwhelmingly led by the United States. From around 1947, as the Cold War officially started, Washington began shifting its priorities in Japan from demilitarization toward economic reconstruction and building Japan into an anti-communist ally. Yang argues that this allowed distorted historical narratives to persist, creating what he describes as a "vicious cycle" in which one falsehood is used to sustain another. Japan has worked hard to polish its national image. But its latest moves, including the new National Intelligence Agency and the latest defense white paper, are tearing that image apart, piece by piece.

- Generative AI is transforming how content is produced and shared, making it faster, cheaper and easier to scale – and in the process, lowering the barriers to manufacturing and spreading convincing falsehoods.
In this episode of Facts Tell, we examine two cases that show how AI-generated fabrications can enter the information ecosystem: paid commissions on a major Japanese crowdsourcing platform to produce AI-generated videos attacking China, and the endorsement of public figures of AI-generated images during the US-Iran conflict.
The real danger isn't just that AI-generated fakes are getting better at fooling us, but that a pipeline already exists to produce them endlessly. By the time the truth catches up, the conversation may have already moved on.

- August 15 marks 81 years since Japan's defeat in World War II. Yet eight decades later, Japan's failure to fully confront its history of aggression remains a source of concern. From downplaying wartime atrocities to questioning aspects of the postwar settlement, efforts to reshape historical narratives continue to raise questions about Japan's commitment to the lessons of the war and regional peace. How should we understand Japan's evolving approach to its wartime past? Why has historical reckoning developed so differently among the former Axis powers? And what are the implications for the postwar international order and peace in Asia today?

- Description
- In 1942, the Lisbon Maru was torpedoed and sank in the waters off Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, leaving more than 1,800 British prisoners of war fighting for their lives. Despite the Japanese blockade and search operations, fishermen from Dongji Island sent out 46 fishing boats, making 65 rescue trips and saving 384 British POWs.
In August 2022, in a letter to the families of the survivors, President Xi Jinping emphasized that the touching story is an important witness to China and the UK standing shoulder to shoulder as allies during World War II against fascist aggression, and it is also a historical tale of the profound friendship between the two peoples.
2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
This friendship, forged in sacrifice and courage, continues to inspire the peoples of both countries as they remember history and cherish peace.<...

That's $2,358 per taxpayer on average, according to a new Economic Policy Institute analysis. The report says the same money could have been spent on food, healthcare and housing for millions of Americans instead. But the Department of Homeland Security says it's worth it, pointing to a self-deportation scheme that it claims saves cash in the long run.
