QINGDAO, July 26 (Xinhua) — China’s domestically designed and developed AG600 large amphibious aircraft succeeded in its maiden flight over sea on Sunday morning in Qingdao, east China’s Shandong Province, after taking off at 10:18 a.m. and completing the test flight after flying for about 31 minutes, said state-owned plane-maker Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

The successful maiden flight from the sea is a major step forward in the development of this large amphibious aircraft following its maiden flight in 2017 and first takeoff from a water reservoir in 2018, said the AVIC.

3…………> Road To Freedom: Syrians Achieve Self-Sufficiency Farming On Rooftops
.

SWEIDA, Syria, July 26 (Xinhua) — Trailing his hands over their soft green tips, Ziad Thabet looks with pride at the vegetables he planted on his rooftop as part of his efforts to achieve self-sufficiency amid soaring prices in the markets:

“The salary of retirees is limited, and given the crisis and the economic hardship, we needed to search for new means to feed ourselves and our children. I started planting the roof here to achieve self-sufficiency in addition to my pension. Planting has become a necessity these days in any country; it’s called self-sufficiency or food security. Whoever eats from his effort and his land will never need anyone else,” he said.

Like most Syrians, the retired man has felt the economic hardships the country is going through, which affected the livelihoods of Syrians, particularly with the new sanctions imposed on the country by the United States.

But Mr. Thabet’s will didn’t collapse under the pressure of the economic crisis that has been accelerating since last year, but instead, he came up with the idea of using his rooftop to plant vegetables in plastic boxes, and then planted seeds of various vegetables and fruits in the boxes such as tomato, cucumber, eggplants, watermelon, among others.

4…………..> Portland Protests Different from ‘Normal Criminal Activity’, Like in Chicago, DHS Secretary Says

.

President Trump had no choice but to send help to maintain law and order in the city of Portland, as it has been engulfed in one of the most violent and despicable anti-racism protests in the United States in years, forcing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf to loudly criticize city’s communist leadership for its handling of the protests, alleging that they have been far from peaceful, the riots and mayhem leading to criminal actions that are very different from “normal criminal activity,” like in Chicago, Kansas City, and others:

“They’re coming armed with rocks, bottles, baseball bats, power tools, commercial grade fireworks, eliciting that violence and targeting their violence on federal courthouses and federal law enforcement officers”, Wolf said, as for several days, DHS officers have been trying to prevent protesters from attacking a downtown federal courthouse, which has been the main target of the attacks.

He blamed the city authorities for letting the situation get out of control and called on them to follow the example of other cities, and cooperate with federal agents as they work to tackle the violence in Portland:

“We see city leadership there has fostered an environment that allows these criminals to do this throughout the night, untouched, absolutely untouched”, Wolf said.

“We need Portland to step up to the plate, do their responsibility and work with us to address violent criminal activity occurring every night.”

The body of the late US civil rights icon John Lewis has been carried over Selma’s historic Edmund Pettus Bridge for a final time, in remembrance of the 7th of March 1965, known as “Bloody Sunday”, where Lewis and other peaceful protesters were attacked by Alabama police officers as they marched over the bridge, on their planned walk to state capital Montgomery to demand equal voting rights.

Lewis, who died aged 80 on 17 July, will be laid to rest in a private ceremony in Atlanta on Thursday.
