Paris attacks: France calls on EU to 'wake up' to threat 2015-11-20 French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said European countries must "wake up" to terror threats, following the attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead. He spoke after it emerged that the suspected Belgian ringleader of the attacks had entered France undetected. Belgian PM Charles Michel has defended Belgium's security services amid claims the attacks were organised there. It comes as EU interior ministers are due to hold emergency talks. The meeting in Brussels is expected to tighten checks at the external borders of the EU's passport-free Schengen area. Key questions remain after attacks On Thursday, French prosecutors confirmed that Islamic State (IS) militant AbdelhamidAbaaoud was among those killed in a police raid the previous day. His bullet-riddled body was found in the wreckage of a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Investigators had identified him as the most likely organiser of last Friday's attacks, but it was initially thought he was in Syria. At a news conference, Mr Cazeneuve said "no information" had been received from other European countries about his arrival on the continent. But he said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria. "It is urgent that Europe wakes up, organises itself and defends itself against the terrorist threat," Mr Cazeneuve told reporters. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said some of those involved in the attacks had taken advantage of the migration crisis in Europe - which has seen thousands of asylum seekers arrive on the continent - to "slip into" France unnoticed.

Liu Xiang：Dark Horse in the Athens Olympics Liu Xiang , born on July 13, 1983 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese hurdling athlete. In 2002, Liu launched his career in fine style by winning the first IAAF (国际业余田径联合会) Grand Prix in Lausanne with a world youth and Asian record time of 13.12 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles. He has since made the finals at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics. Two of the three cases has seen American hurdling great Allen Johnson take the major prize, but in the last in May at Osaka, Liu managed to beat Johnson with an Asian-record time of 13.2014 seconds. Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2014 Summer Olympics in the 110 meters hurdles event. In the final, he equaled the world record of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales. This is the first time an athlete of non-African descent (后裔) has dipped under 13 seconds for the 110 meter hurdles.

BBC news 2014-05-07--------- Police in the Philippines have arrested 58 people involved in an Internet extortion network. They are accused of posting fake profiles to social network sites, luring mostly elderly men into exposing themselves in video chats which then filmed and used to blackmail them for money. Basically what's been going on here is that criminals have now taken advantage of technology and in particularly, social networking site where they are creating multiple fake profiles to befriend as many people as possible. And the aim was of this is to encourage the person that befriended into having sex over the Internet in front of the webcam and unknown to the person this is filmed and recorded it. And then she used a blackmail further on. Many of these firms are so well-organized like a traditional business with the staff that they have got. So they really are very well-organized. And it enables them to commit crime all over the world rather than traditionally where they may have been confined to their own country. And these are mostly men, it seems, to think they are striking up kind of interval relationship over the Internet with a woman. It turns out that they are not. What kind of money is extorted from them? It varies anything from a few hundred pounds through to few thousand dollars. And it's whatever they think that they can afford. It's very similar and very specialized to some of the other form we've seen in particular countries, some countries where teams have got together and they are specialized in skimming cards. Others have specialized in other types of fraud. I guess it's possibly also the fact that Philippines does well in tourist from westernized countries to the Philippines. The US Secretary of States John Kerry says the South Sudan President Salva Kiir has agreed to peace talks aimed at ending the conflict there. Mr. Kerry was speaking after the talks with the president in the capital Juba. I've told President Kiir that the choices that both he and the opposition face are stark and clear and that the unspeakable human costs that we have seen over the course of last month and which could even grow if they fail to sit down are unacceptable to the global community.
