China Blocks BBC Site Midst Hong Kong Clashes

October 16, 2014 By William Bland Leave a Comment

ProtestersThe BBC website has been blocked by China as clashes in Hong Kong escalate. This week, unrest between pro-democracy protestors and law enforcement officials in Hong Kong has intensified. However, according to a British news outlet, the blocking of the BBC site by China is nothing more than a deliberate form of censorship.

BBC, the English-language website, was blocked by the Chinese Communist Party yesterday and as of today, it is still inaccessible. According to Peter Horrocks, director of the BBC World Service Group, China’s attempt to restrict free access to information and news is strongly condemned.

However, when asked if BBC’s website had or had not been blocked, the only response from Hong Lei, spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry was that the country thoroughly enjoyed full internet freedom. He added that the Chinese government manages the internet to comply with the law.

In a statement made earlier this week, a Chinese official suggested that certain members of the foreign media were not objective when reporting the ongoing protests in Hong Kong and they should.

This official went on to say that the Chinese government hopes the outside world will show respect as Hong Kong’s government, which serves as the Special Administrative Region of the country, tries to handle the situation in accordance with the law. He also said that no wrong signals would be sent pertaining to the unlawful activity occurring.

BBC reported yesterday that an official investigation has been launched in Hong Kong pertaining to allegations that police officers were using excessive force in controlling the pro-democracy protestors. According to BBC, video of a protester being beaten and kicked by several officers had been captured, as well as pepper spray and batons being used.

Censorship in the form of China shutting down the BBC site has happened before. In 2012 around the time that Chen Guangeheng, a Chinese activist, escaped from house arrest, the website was disrupted. BBC was also blocked in 2010, just days prior to and after the Nobel Peace Prize aware ceremony for the Chinese rebel Liu Xiaobo.

Toyota Recalling 1.75 Million Vehicles

October 15, 2014 By William Bland Leave a Comment

Toyota RecallThe Japanese carmaker, Toyota, is recalling 1.75 million vehicles from all over the world due to a number of issues. Just last month, 690,000 Tacoma pickup trucks were recalled by Toyota within the United States due to possible vulnerability in the suspension systems.

This past April 6.4 million vehicles worldwide were recalled again based on a number of different problems to include improperly working windscreen wiper motors and airbag cables. As part of this latest recall, vehicles have issues with faulty brake installation and a fuel component.

Fortunately, there have been no reported accidents or injuries associated with the reported problems. However, in not wanting to take a chance, the company opted for the recall. When approached for an official comment regarding the cost of this recall, Toyota refused to respond.

This latest recall involves certain models of the Toyota Crown Majesta, as well as Voxy and Noah model vehicles produced from June 2007 through 2012. Toyota offered a breakdown of the recall, dividing the issues into three different segments.

The first is the faulty brake system, which affects approximately 802,000 vehicles worldwide. With this problem, the system can crack, resulting in a secondary problem of brake fluid leaking. The fix entails a rubber seal ring in the master cylinder being replaced to stop fluid from leaking. If fluid has already begun to leak, an additional fix of replacing the brake booster will be provided.

Another segment of the recall is a faulty fuel delivery pipe system, which affects roughly 759,000 vehicles, broken down by 423,000 in the United States, 240,000 in Japan, and close to 70,000 combined for the Middle East and Europe, which includes 9,637 cars registered in the UK.

In this case, a faulty system could cause a fuel leak, which in turn increases risk of the vehicle catching fire. This aspect of the recall is specific to various models of Lexus that were produced between January 2005 and September 2010.

For the third segment of the recall, about 190,000 vehicles have faulty fuel suction plates, which again, could cause a fuel leak and thereby risk of fire. This particular problem affects a much smaller number of vehicles and only those made in Japan. The faulty fuel suction plate issue is linked to Auris and Corolla Rumion models that were manufactured between October 2006 and October 2014.

In light of this latest recall, Toyota stock was down on the Tokyo Stock Exchange compared to being up 0.02% to 5,990 yen per share at the prior day’s closing bell.

Trial against Erol Incedel has “Unusual Features”

October 14, 2014 By William Bland Leave a Comment

Incedel and BlairAccording to prosecutor Richard Whittam, Erol Incedal, age 26, plotted an attack against a significant individual or killings that would resemble the attacks in Mumbai in 2008, leaving 174 people dead. Incedal, who is from London, is now standing trial in a court of law to determine his true intentions, as well as fate.

Whittam added that while count one does not suggest Incedal settled on one particular target or a specific methodology to carry out the threats, looking at the context of the case in whole along with the evidence gathered, the fact that he knew where Blair and his family live is significant.

Later in the proceedings, the court was made aware of several emails going between Incedel and an unknown individual, which contained unique coded messages. In one, there was a coded word “k 11 22 aaa shhh” that according to prosecutors could have been a reference to Kalashnikov rifles. In another message, “mo88m 55bayy style” was written, which he believes has something to do with the Mumbai-style attack.

As the jury sat and listened, they learned that Incedel had initially been stopped by law enforcement officials in September of last year. Because of growing suspicions and increased evidence, investigators used the opportunity to place a bugging device in his Mercedes. Weeks later in October, Incedel along with Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar were arrested when stopped in East London.

The prosecutor told the jury that both men were carrying an iPhone inside a protective case and that between the device and the case was a memory card containing a bomb-making document. Just last week, Rarmoul-Bouhadjar pled guilty to being in possession of material beneficial to terrorism.

The jury was also told about an iPhone recovered during the investigation on which there was the material in support of Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, as well as photographs of various synagogues.

Although jurors were provided with extensive details, they were advised yesterday that some parts of the trial would never be made public. In today’s proceedings, jurors remained behind closed doors and are forbidden from talking about the things they hear and learn.

To observe the ongoing courtroom proceedings, 10 journalists will be locked in the room but banned from revealing anything said. Noted by Justice Nicol, this particular trial has unusual features. He added that the usual method of justice being administered is in the public but that this trial would be conducted differently. In fact, evidence heard in a third part of the trial will exclude all journalists.

Italian Nurse Kills 38 Patients

October 14, 2014 By William Bland Leave a Comment

Killing NurseAccording to Italian law enforcement officials, in a bizarre and senseless story, a nurse killed 38 of the patients she cared for simply because either they or their family members were getting on her nerves. The nurse, Daniela Poggiali, was arrested while still performing duties at Lugo hospital.

As stated in reports, Poggiali gave many of her patients’ lethal doses of potassium chloride because in her opinion, they needed too much care and demanded too much of her time. In addition to the killings, the 42-year-old nurse gave many other patients mild sedatives to keep them quiet.

Also reported was that after Poggiali’s patients died, she actually took photographs of them, followed by posting them online. In one particular photo, the nurse provided a chilling caption that read, “Brrr…mmm…life and death…mmmmmm.” Next to another photo of a corpse stored on her cell phone, Poggiali gave the thumbs up sign.

The gruesome crimes came to light after a 78-year-old patient who in April had just been admitted to the hospital with a non-life-threatening illness, suddenly died while under Poggiali’s care. After a toxicology report was performed by hospital officials, a lethal dose of potassium chloride was found in the patient’s system.

Uncovering this information prompted hospital authorities to conduct a background investigation on Poggiali’s history at the hospital, confirming that of the 83 patients she watched during the first three months of 2014, 38 had died.

Compared to other hospital nurses, the average number of deaths was 10 patients for the same period of time. She was taken into custody this weekend and when arrested, she appeared unperturbed, this according to Alessandro Mancini, chief prosecutor.

When questioned, a colleague of the nurse came forward to say she was scared and intimated by Poggiali and therefore, did not tell anyone about her suspicions but also things she had personally witnessed. This individual added that Poggiali was extremely euphoric and in one incident, asked her to take a photo of a dead patient while she posed next to the body.

In several media reports, co-workers of the nurse described her as being cold yet always willing to work and as one recounted, Poggiali had given patients at the end of her shift powerful laxatives to make work harder for the new team of nurses coming on shift.
