As we know climate change is threatening our planet. After reading this article i was surprised about how beef production could negatively impact our world with climate change. Food production land is used  to raise animals instead of crops, precious water and soil are lost, trees are cut down to make land for grazing or factory-farm sheds, and untreated animal waste pollutes rivers. These consequence are all created by our own hand of just because we wanted eat that slice of beef. According to the article beef is more resource-intensive than other foods means they have lower growth rate than the other, so there is a risk of endanger in the next decades.
I think we should stop consume so much of meat per day. We need to take a new habit of eating less meat per day so this not only save the environment and the planet, it also save the individuals health as over-consume of meat could easier causes cancer than vegan.

Paris Agreement: is to limit global warming to 2 degree compared with pre-industrial levels.
Nicaragua is a country in Central America and it is the fourth most vulnerable country to climate change, according to the Global Climate Risk Index. It is vulnerable to climate change because it is located near the ring of fire where most of volcano forms and frequent earthquakes. The reason why Nicaragua isn't in Paris agreement as they feel it doesn't work, rising of 2% is not efficiency as all. Their main aim is to reach  90% renewable and only 0.03% of the global total emission by 2020. Also, they don't want to be grouped with the other countries as "Paris agreement" is like verbal agreement that everyone is not actually take action to it.

Stephy:
Neon light signs are one of the iconic things in Hong Kong. You can see them in the streets like Nathan Road. Making Hong Kong a beautiful and vibrant city.
This article mainly tells us the story behind the neon lights and why are they disappearing these days. Neon lights were introduced to the streets of Hong Kong during the 1920s and more shops started using neon light signs in the 1970s, which was the golden age of Hong Kong as the economy was at it's peak. However, the neon light signs started to fade out and were replaced by the LED light signs as they are much cheaper and energy-efficient. Furthermore, due to the government regulations, shops need to remove signs as they might be too big and might eventually drop. This is why you can't see neon lights overlapping each other in the streets of Hong Kong anymore.
In my opinion, I think the neon-light culture should be preserved. These neon-light signs represents Hong Kong, it inspires the pop culture a lot as many movies used neon-light as a backdrop like the sci-fi movie, Blade Runner. I really like the neon-lights in Hong Kong as they are spice up Hong Kong with the aesthetic streets and associate with Hong Kong well when you see a neon light street sign.

This article is about the high levels of pollution in Hong Kong, specifically in Tuen Mun, the northern district. Tuen Mun residents complained that there is a strange and irritating smell that smells like tear gas. They suspected that the smell came from the tear gas which was fired by the Hong Kong police or the shooting practice by the PLA at a military site nearby. However, the police denied the fact that they fired tear gas and they receieve no response from the PLA.
The strange smell have affected Tuen Mun residents a lot. Their eyes and skins were irritated, they coughed a lot , teary eyes and they felt uncomfortable. Parents were concerned about their children's health very much. Especially when a child had rashes on her neck. Some residents witnessed the protesting scene and black spot that was suspected to be tear gas canisters.
The air quality index was very high in the Tuen Mun district. It was at a 7 and 8 at the highest. The ozone levels in Tuen Mun is high at 153.2 micrograms per cubic meters.

However, I can't believe some the issue had evolutes into s different stage that there are some appearance of cage house that I was a bit shocked. There are now ten thousand of people living the cities who live in spaces that are between 75- 140 square feet, it's almost the same size as a typical parking space in the US. It's even worse in the cage house that there is only a bad size available that all their belongings were packed in that cramped area this causes easily spread of diseases and it might also indirectly harms individual's mental health.

I was totally shocked about the news, I've been there for 2 times and it was historical infrastructure which represent the ancient Japan, and it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site in Okinawa Prefecture. Tragically, the fire accident complete destroyed the three-level castle which makes me feel disappointed.
The good news is there are no one was injured during such accident, however, many of the ancient valuable objects were completely burned by the fire. Firemen could stopped the fire as the castle was made of of wood while the north and south buildings also incorporated steel. No sprinklers had been installed so the heat transference was so fast that the firemen couldn't help as long as no one is inside the castle would be fine.

Eventhough I have been to Japan a number of times, I never knew that Japan has it's dark side too. I always thought Japan is perfect until I saw a youtube video (which is in cantonese) about visiting japan slum area in Osaka. I then did some further research on this and found this link.
In the video and article, I learned that Kamagasaki which is the slum area is just a station away from the largest shopping area in Osaka. Compared to the tall buildings, light signs and shopping malls, Kamagasaki is full of tents and homeless old men sleeping on the streets. People there have to go to work center for temporary jobs like construction works to earn a living to maintain a basic life. They only have enough money to live in cheap hotels.

Here is a news about force migration in Syria. Xunava is a 16-year-old Syrian refugee who dreams of going to school. The last time she was in the classroom was 2012, with only grade 4. She was forced to leave her country due to civil wars and conflict in the country. I was annoyed by the fact that she faced a violent environment at a young age. This makes me realise how fortunate I am; I am so lucky that I have the opportunity to receive a high quality of education in a safe place. Which tells me that I should cherish everything in front of me as these experiences let us know that happiness is not a definite thing, things in our hands might drop one day if we do not hold it tight.
She is now currently a child laborer in the coastal city of Mersin, the breadwinner in a family of six, toiling in a sewing factory six days a week. Although she went through all the blood, sweat and tears, I am pleased to see her survived from the unbearable journey safe and sound.

In this day and age, clean water and sanitation are very important to everyone. Lots of people don't have money to improve their sanitation services and water supply. Some people have insufficient because their area has less rain and due to the wastage of water in their country which make so many people die from water pollution and poor sanitation daily.

I chose this for literary study because I think we should know more about the global problem and should aware of the usage of water. Also, I think we should save water, the reservation of water can
prolong the use in the future. As water is limited which will be scarcity if the demand is higher than the supply. We should also think about the problem in long and short term and try to cope with the water shortage problem. It helps people that without clean water and  to meet our global goals in 2030.

I watched this video is about how the rate of poverty is increasing in HK. Firstly, the homeless people's meals have not enough nutrients just bread and noodles. Which leads them to have unhealthy diet.
Also, their living conditions are unsatisfactory cuz they have lack of shelter by living on a footbridge. Which makes them feel uncomfortable while living on a footbridge.

This is the reason why the rate of  poverty rises. Is because HK housing rents are too expensive, however these homeless people are unemployed. So this leads to more people are less affordable to pay for the rent of houses.

As a social welfare department, they should provide free fresh foods services for them to eat. In order to maintain their healthy diet.
In addition, the government should provide some jobs for the homeless peopler to get employed. This is the benefit to reduce the rate of unemployment, so that the homeless people can earn a proper salary or wager to maintain a better life. Furthermore, the government should reduce the price of rent of houses. This is important for the people to satisfy their payment of rent.

Hence the problem of shortage in health care providers can be tackled. Also, they can utilise robots to do some minor surgery and assist doctors when doing the high risk surgery. Robots are very helpful but it is quite expensive to have one of them. Robots can do lots of things and act like a human but they do not have emotion.I chose this video clip because I think human is clever because they have used their own knowledge to build lots of robots and can raise the economy and people's living standard too.

Robots can do lots of things and act like a human but they do not have emotion.I chose this video clip because I think human is clever because they have used their own knowledge to build lots of robots and can raise the economy and people's living standard too. In the future, robots will be more useful and can use it anywhere such as helping people to generate new ideas and use robots to protect their country.

This article is about Amazon having a checkout-free store opening soon which it is called "Amazon-go".
Checkout-free store means consumers don't need to go to the cashier to pay. Cameras and sensors will help to detect what customers bought so that customers can leave after getting what they need, as everything is paid using their credit card. But, they will need the Amazon-go app on their phones first.
This article tells us that technology has been improving, from paying with phone apps like AliPay to checkout-free stores. It definitely makes life easier and more convenient; however, this can leads to unemployment in the retail industry.

These images were spread across the social media in Hong Kong that tells people about what happened on 21st July 2019. According to the photos, it shows that police fired 36 rubber bullets without any warnings in the protest in Sheung Wan. While in Yuen Long, there were triads in white shirts beating every citizen they see, even the press and pregnant woman with wood and iron tubes.  However, police choose to ignore it and closed the police station; even 999 call centre tried to ignore calls from citizens.
These images linked so well with the theme of social organisation. As it shows how Hongkongers felt unsecured as we always thought Hong Kong is one of the safest places to live. It's all because of the strained relationship between us, police and the government.

I saw this photo on instagram by a Turkish photographer, in most of his photos it shows a comparison of a wealthy and peaceful country and a country with on-going wars.
This shows a comparison of children getting education. On the right, we can see a children in a well equipped classroom learning maths and on the left side, we can see a children standing in front of the destroyed classroom and a dirty blackboard, this obviously shows that not every children in the world can recieve education or quality education. Also bringing a message of importance of education, as education can help children to know their idendities and know how to stand up for what they want and a better future.

This article suggests the rising of student's suicide rates in Hong Kong. According to the article, the rate of suicide in different age groups has been falling recently except for the age group of 15-24, which are the students. Instead of falling or keeping steady, the suicide rate is rising. Research also found out that full-time students are more likely to suicide than the teenagers that don't recieve education. Students are mainly stressing and concerning about academics-- to get the best grades to get into top universities to have a high salary job, relationships between family and friends, and even the government.
After reading this article, I think we, especially as students should be aware of handling and relief stress, let your voice to be heard by someone that could help you as it is so sure that pupils will get some stress.

Plastics in the ocean relates to this topic because we are sharing the planet with everyone including species in the ocean. 8 million metric tones of plastic trash enter the ocean every year which lead to lots of species in danger and face extinction. Plastics in the ocean is really hard to get rid of and need a century to turn the plastics into smaller pieces or dissolve it. We can solve the problem by stop using plastics and bring their own bags when shopping. Moreover, do not throw any things into the ocean.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nearly two million people have taken part in a mass protest in Hong Kong against a controversial extradition bill, organisers say.

If confirmed, it would be the largest protest in Hong Kong's history. Police said turnout was 338,000 at its peak.

The masses turned out despite the suspension of the bill - which would allow extradition from Hong Kong to mainland China - on Saturday.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Sunday apologised for proposing the bill.

Many protesters, who fear increased Chinese influence over Hong Kong, are calling on her to resign over the unrest.

They are also demanding that the bill be scrapped, not just suspended.

Meanwhile, supporters of Joshua Wong - the student leader who became the face of Hong Kong's "Umbrella Movement" democracy protests five years ago - say he will be released from prison later on Monday.

What happened at the protest?

"Today's march we had almost two million people," Jimmy Sham, from the Civil Human Rights Front protest group, told reporters late on Sunday evening.

See the scale of the march in photos

The protest was mainly peaceful, with police officers reportedly holding back to allow the throngs of people to slowly pass through the city. This contrasted to scenes at the last previous major demonstration on Wednesday, which saw clashes between protesters and police that injured dozens.

The demonstration began early in the afternoon in Victoria Square, with many wearing black.

Many held white flowers to mourn a protester who fell to his death on Saturday from a ledge, where hours earlier he had unfurled an anti-extradition banner.

The progress of the march was slow, as the large numbers of people blocked many streets and crowded train stations.

As darkness fell, protesters started to take over major roads and crossings and surrounded the legislative council building.

They carried placards that read "The students did not riot", in response to police labelling last Wednesday's student protests a riot - an offence punishable by up to 10 years in jail.

All you need to know about the protests

Hong Kong-China extradition plans explained

There was scepticism among some protesters about Ms Lam's decision to suspend the bill.

"Carrie Lam has ignored the feelings of Hong Kongers," Mr Ma, a 67-year-old protester, told the BBC. He said Ms Lam had "acted like it was no big deal" after a reported million people marched last week.

"Secondly, we are marching for the students who were brutally treated by the police. We need to get justice for them."

Chloe Yim, 20, who had joined the protests for the first time, said: "If Carrie sees so many people come out, and still doesn't listen - she's being an autocrat who doesn't listen to people. Hong Kong people can't accept that."

'Too little too late'
Analysis by Helier Cheung, BBC News, Hong Kong
The government had hoped to reduce public anger by announcing a pause in the legislation on Saturday.

That has patently failed, as even bigger numbers - close to two million, according to the organisers, took to the streets.

For the chief executive, the demonstrations will have taken on a particularly personal bent, as protesters chanted "Carrie Lam - resign!" throughout during the day.

The government is now trying to strike a conciliatory tone - in a statement, it said it understood the protesters' views "have been made out of love and care for Hong Kong". It promised the chief executive would adopt a more "sincere and humble attitude" towards public criticism.

But this is too little, too late for many protesters, who insist they won't settle for anything less than the bill being completely withdrawn.

The new face of the HK protests

The scenes are reminiscent of 2003 - when half a million people protested against proposed national security legislation. The unpopular chief executive at the time, Tung Chee-hwa, resigned months later.

But even if Ms Lam resigns, there's no guarantee that protesters will be satisfied with whoever replaces her - especially as, under Hong Kong's political system, the leader is elected by a small panel filled with allies of the Beijing government.

What is the controversy about?

Hong Kong is a former British colony, but was returned to Chinese rule in 1997 under a "one country, two systems" deal that guarantees it a level of autonomy.

The government had argued the proposed extradition bill would "plug the loopholes" so that the city would not be a safe haven for criminals, following a murder case in Taiwan.

Critics have said the legislation would expose people in Hong Kong to China's deeply flawed justice system and lead to further erosion of the city's judicial independence.

Many fear the law could be used to target political opponents of the Chinese state. A large-scale march, which organisers said drew more than one million people, was held last Sunday.

On Wednesday tens of thousands gathered to blockade streets around government headquarters to try to stop the second reading, or debate, of the extradition bill.

China's history of extraordinary rendition

Will the bill damage Hong Kong's star status?

There were clashes and 22 police and 60 protesters were injured. Authorities say 11 people were arrested. The police have been accused by some rights groups of excessive force.

Why the anger at Carrie Lam?

Much of the public anger has been directed at Ms Lam, the region's elected chief executive - who is firmly supported by Beijing.

Part of that anger comes from a tearful address after Wednesday's violence in which she labelled the protests "organised riots" - a label rejected by the hundreds of thousands of peaceful protesters.

Ms Lam remained hidden from public view for days, until her announcement on Saturday the she had heard the calls for her government to "pause and think". But she stopped short of saying the bill would be permanently shelved.

Profile: Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of Hong Kong

On Sunday, she followed this up with a statement apologising for "her government's work that has led to substantial controversies and disputes in society, causing disappointment and grief among the people".

There has been speculation among analysts about Ms Lam's future amid the continued protests, but China's foreign ministry publicly backed her on Saturday.

Is Hong Kong part of China?

Hong Kong was a British colony from 1841, when China ceded the island to the British after the First Opium War - which had erupted over British traders smuggling opium into China. It remained a colony until sovereignty was returned to China in 1997.

It is now part of China under a "one country, two systems" principle, which ensures that it keeps its own judicial independence, its own legislature and economic system.

A timeline of Hong Kong's history

It is what China calls a special administrative region - enjoying a great deal of autonomy that has made it a key business and media hub in the region.

But it remains subject to pressure from mainland China, and Beijing remains responsible for defence and foreign affairs.
