29 April 2017...Violence has erupted in Brazil at the end of the country's first general strike in more than 20 years.

Buses and cars have been set on fire in Rio de Janeiro's city centre. Road blocks set up by activists were also ablaze and shops were vandalised.

For most of the day the strike had been largely peaceful. Many people stayed at home and shops, schools and banks remained closed across the country.

Unions called the strike in protest at proposed pension reforms.

President Michel Temer said he regretted the incidents in Rio. But he stressed that he would continue his "efforts to modernise the country".

Brazilian workers and the government are working together, he said, to get the country out of "the worst recession in its history."

On Wednesday April 19th, 2017 hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities to step up their continuing demonstrations against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. The march, called the “mother of all marches” by organizers, was met by riot police who fired tear gas and rubber bullets, while some demonstrators threw stones and firebombs. At least two students and a member of the National Guard were killed in the clashes. The opposition called for renewed protests today, as some Caracas business owners returned to inspect damaged and looted stores.

At least 22 people, including children, have been killed and 59 injured in a suicide bombing at a crowded pop concert in Manchester, the most deadly attack in Britain in a decade.

The horror unfolded at about 10.30pm on Monday at the end of a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande, whose music is popular with children and teenagers.

The attack, which took place in the foyer, left hundreds of people fleeing in terror, with young people at the concert separated from their parents in the chaos. It left carnage inside the concert venue, with medics describing treating wounds consistent with shrapnel injury.

BEIJING - Ten Chinese police officers began joint patrols in four Italian cities Monday, according to a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.

Four groups of Chinese police officers will join their Italian counterparts for patrols in the cities of Rome, Milan, Florence and Naples from June 5 to 25.

The 20-day program also includes a Chinese-language police hotline where calls are answered by Chinese police officers, who will help Italian police with security issues concerning Chinese tourists, the statement said.

China sent four police officers to Rome and Milan to conduct joint patrols in May 2016. This year, Florence and Naples, both popular destinations for Chinese tourists, were added and six additional officers were sent.

This is the latest program aimed at protecting the interests of Chinese tourists overseas, and will help expand and deepen the Sino-Italian law enforcement cooperation, the statement added.

From April 24 to May 7, four Italian officers and their Chinese counterparts conducted joint patrols at tourist areas in Beijing and Shanghai, the first foreign police officers to carry out joint patrols in China.

According to government statistics, more than 800,000 Chinese and Italian tourists traveled between the two countries in 2016.

BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese and Cambodian police have cracked a major online fraud case, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) announced Thursday.

Since February, a series of online racketeering cases were reported from Hunan Province. Police soon discovered more than 800 victims of the "naked chatting" scheme via popular instant messaging service WeChat.

The victims are encouraged to undress and conduct video chat with a "beautiful woman." The victims are recorded and blackmailed accordingly.
Many victims had paid up to the extent of an estimated total of more than 12 million yuan (about 1.8 million U.S. dollars).

Under the command of the MPS and assisted by Cambodian authorities, police from the provinces of Hunan, Sichuan and Henan, raided 12 dens in Cambodia, capturing 74 suspects and seizing 1.7 million yuan on the spot, along with bank cards and computers.

The suspects were all brought back to China on Thursday afternoon.
