BBC China stocks see biggest slump in US since 2008 financial crisis 27 Jul 2021
「Shares of Chinese companies listed in the US have seen their biggest two-day fall since the 2008 financial crisis.
The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, which follows the 98 biggest US-listed Chinese stocks, has fallen by almost 15% in the last two trading sessions.
The index has now plummeted by more than 45% since hitting a record high in February.
The slump comes after a series of crackdowns by Beijing on its technology and education industries.」

BBC Afghanistan Taliban: Flash flooding kills dozens in remote province 30 Jul 2021
「The disaster zone is held by Taliban militants fighting the government.」
「Afghan officials gave a death toll of 60 but the Taliban say 150 people died in the flooding, the Associated Press news agency reports.
An engineer working for the province of Nuristan, where Kamdesh is located, told an Afghan journalist the final toll could exceed 200.」
「The Taliban say they have sent their own rescue crews to help, promising relief funds worth about $62,000 (￡53,000), AP reports.
But it is not clear how well equipped they are to deal with a disaster on such a scale.」

BBC Algeria scraps quarantine rule despite Covid surge 21:35 27 Jul 2021 By Ahmed Rouaba
「Since 1 June all those arriving to Algeria were being requested to self-isolate for five days in a hotel, which they would have to pay for.
Many Algerians returning to the country from abroad were angered by the measures and criticised the services offered at some of the hotels designated for quarantine.」
「The new measures are designed to ease the return of thousands of Algerians stranded abroad.
The North African nation is facing a new record of coronavirus infections with 1,505 positive cases in the last 24 hours.」
アルジェリア。検疫ルールが不評、撤回。…をい？ いやまあ、改善するにもカネがかかりすぎるということでもあろうか。

BBC Swiss woman found dead in Thailand near waterfall 6 Aug 2021
「A Swiss woman has been found dead near a waterfall in Thailand on the resort island of Phuket.
Local officials have identified the victim as 57-year-old Nicole Sauvain-Weisskopf, and launched an investigation.
Police found her face down in the water covered by a black sheet, with her phone, shorts and trainers nearby.
As yet it is unclear what happened to the Swiss national. Results of an autopsy are expected later on Friday.」
57歳女性、顔は水につけられ、黒いシーツで包まれていた。電話機や衣類は近くにnearbyあったということで、うん、あの、プライバシーの問題で―というわけなのだが、さらにはどうもこの女性、スイスの外交関係者だとか。だからといってすぐさま何とやら、というわけでもあるまいが。
「Reports suggest she may have been a Swiss diplomat, although officials have not yet commented on her job.
The death comes just weeks after Thailand launched its so-called "Phuket Sandbox" scheme. Ms Sauvain-Weisskopf reportedly arrived in Thailand on 13 July.
Under the programme, vaccinated tourists can come to the island without the need to quarantine, but cannot travel to the mainland within 14 days.
Before the pandemic tourism accounted for about one fifth of the Thai economy.」
