Title	1. FBI chief Christopher Wray says China lab leak most likely. 2. China should be honest on Covid origin, says US envoy. 3. China Covid: WHO warns about under-representing Covid deaths.

Newsworthy Event (Main Event)	1. "The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident," he told Fox News. 2. The US envoy to China has called on the country to be "more honest" about the origins of the Covid-19 virus. 3. The World Health Organization has warned that China is under-representing the true impact of Covid in the country - in particular deaths. The removal of most restrictions last month has led to a surge in cases. But China has stopped publishing daily cases data, and has announced only 22 Covid deaths since December, using its own strict criteria.
Background Event (Elaboration)	1. Many scientists point out there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab.And other US government agencies have drawn differing conclusions to the FBI's. Some of them have said - but with a low level of certainty - that the virus did not start in a lab but instead jumped from animals to humans.In response, Beijing accused Washington of "political manipulation". "The conclusions they have reached have no credibility to speak of," said Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning. Some studies suggest the virus made the leap from animals to humans in Wuhan, China, possibly at the city's seafood and wildlife market. The market is near a world-leading virus laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which conducted research into coronaviruses. 2. Ambassador Nicholas Burns told a US Chamber of Commerce event on Monday that China needs to "be more honest about what happened three years ago in Wuhan with the origin of the Covid-19 crisis".The energy department had formerly said it was undecided on how the virus began. Other US agencies have drawn differing conclusions, with varying degrees of confidence in their findings. The FBI in 2021 concluded with "moderate confidence" that the virus leaked from a lab.Other studies suggest it made the leap from animals to humans at Wuhan's Huanan seafood and wildlife market.A spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry on Monday again rejected the lab leak theory. Mao Ning called on US investigators to "stop smearing China and stop politicising origins-tracing". 3. On Wednesday, the European Union issued new guidance "strongly" recommending that all member states introduce the requirement that passengers flying from China provide a negative Covid test before their departure. No new Covid variants have been detected in China, despite the surge in cases. However, the WHO has warned this could be due to a decrease in testing.The Chinese authorities have announced they are sending medical supplies to rural hospitals before an expected wave of coronavirus infections in the countryside - where vaccination rates are patchy.
New Vocabularies Found	1. obfuscate, leak. 2. Alleged,   rug. 3. restrictions, surge, discourage.
Comments	1. This has been very useful and honestly, it's made me more aware of the problems of the source of the corona virus. 2. I think this news is very important, in which the US asks China to clarify the origin of the corona virus in order to prevent it from repeating the pandemic. 3. This is interesting news and should be noted as the derelict Chinese authorities of the covid case have taken a toll on the world.

Title	1. The entrepreneurs who regret starting businesses. 2. China balloon: Could it have been blown off course as Beijing claims? 3. TikTok profits from livestreams of families begging.

Newsworthy Event (Main Event)	1. Especially recently, becoming your own boss can be glamourous. But not everyone who’s forged their independent professional path is happy they did. Sam Schreim has been his own boss for nearly 20 years. He’s opened his own consultancy firm, launched multiple start-ups and advised high-net-worth clients as an independent consultant. But if the 54-year-old could go back, he may never have taken the plunge. 2. The Chinese authorities say a surveillance balloon sighted over sensitive US territory is theirs, but insist its purpose is for weather research and that it was blown off course by unexpected winds. 3. Displaced families in Syrian camps are begging for donations on TikTok while the company takes up to 70% of the proceeds, a BBC investigation found.
Background Event (Elaboration)	1. Quitting work to become your own boss has rarely been more popular. In 2022, for instance, new US business applications spiked to their highest levels since 2004, with more than 5 million new firms starting. But as evidenced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March, which left many small firms without access to their essential accounts, being a founder comes with big risks and responsibilities – and leads some people to regret ever giving up their day jobs.It isn’t uncommon for the realities of running your own business to clash with expectations, says UK-based careers coach Ayesha Murray. “As business owners, we want to succeed, but we often have unrealistic expectations from the outset around sales numbers, income or work-life boundaries,” she points out. “If you've had a successful career before starting out on your own, there could be an assumption that whatever you try next will also work out.”It isn’t uncommon for the realities of running your own business to clash with expectations, says UK-based careers coach Ayesha Murray. “As business owners, we want to succeed, but we often have unrealistic expectations from the outset around sales numbers, income or work-life boundaries,” she points out. “If you've had a successful career before starting out on your own, there could be an assumption that whatever you try next will also work out.”   2. It was monitored travelling across Canadian territory before appearing over the city of Billings in Montana on Wednesday, where it was spotted in the sky by city residents.US authorities say they've been tracking the balloon across US airspace using manned aircraft, and that it's been flying over sensitive military areas. BBC Weather's Simon King says that in the north Pacific between China and North America, the prevailing winds are westerlies (that is, from west towards the east).The wind patterns in the north Pacific in the past few days would have blown the balloon north-east to Alaska and then south-east through Canada to Montana, he says.Dr Marina Miron, researcher in defence studies at Kings College London says the balloon might have been more sophisticated than China claims."The balloon could be controlled remotely by an operator on the ground," she says. "They'd be able to raise or lower the altitude of the balloon so that it could pick up different wind currents which are going in different directions."You would want to be able to make it linger over a spot to collect data. This is something you can do with balloon which you cannot do with a satellite. "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric US department (NOAA) has developed such a model (known as HYSPLIT) based on winds at altitudes over 14,000m (46,000ft).US meteorologist Dan Satterfield has used this model to calculate a possible route the surveillance balloon has taken, and has shared his findings online. Starting from the position sighted in Montana on 1 February, he has estimated a possible back trajectory for the balloon, based on wind data, originating in central China. It must be stressed that this is not the actual path the surveillance balloon has taken, but an analysis based on the model developed by NOAA, a US government agency. 3. Children are livestreaming on the social media app for hours, pleading for digital gifts with a cash value. The BBC saw streams earning up to $1,000 (£900) an hour, but found the people in the camps received only a tiny fraction of that.The company said this type of content was not allowed on its platform, and it said its commission from digital gifts was significantly less than 70%. But it declined to confirm the exact amount. In the camps in north-west Syria, the BBC found that the trend was being facilitated by so-called "TikTok middlemen", who provided families with the phones and equipment to go live. The middlemen said they worked with agencies affiliated to TikTok in China and the Middle East, who gave the families access to TikTok accounts. These agencies are part of TikTok's global strategy to recruit livestreamers and encourage users to spend more time on the app.Marwa Fatafta, from digital rights organisation Access Now, says these livestreams run contrary to TikTok's own policies to "prevent the harm, endangerment or exploitation" of minors on the platform.TikTok clearly states that users are not allowed to explicitly solicit gifts, so this is a clear violation of their own terms of services, as well as the rights of these people," she said.TikTok's rules say you must have 1,000 followers before you can go live, you must not directly solicit for gifts and must "prevent the harm, endangerment or exploitation" of minors on the platform. But when the BBC used the in-app system to report 30 accounts featuring children begging, TikTok said there had been no violation of its policies in any of the cases. After the BBC contacted TikTok directly for comment, the company banned all of the accounts. It said in a statement: "We are deeply concerned by the information and allegations brought to us by the BBC, and have taken prompt and rigorous action.

Comments	1. It's a good news to share with the young entrepreneurs who want to start their business. 2. This message is important because it provides information that is helpful and can add to the reader's knowledge. 3. The news overwhelmed me by the fact that the refugees at camp syiria were in need of donations through livestreaming at tiktok. And the BBC has been very helpful in bringing them justice.

Title	1. UN climate report: Scientists release 'survival guide' to avert climate disaster. 2.Extreme weather: What is it and how is it connected to climate change? 3. Five things we've learned from UN climate report.
Sources	1. http://www.bbc.com/news 2. http://www.bbc.com/news 3. http://www.bbc.com/news
Newsworthy Event (Main Event)	1.UN chief Antonio Guterres says a major new report on climate change is a "survival guide for humanity". 2.People around the globe are experiencing more intense heatwaves, deadly floods and wildfires as a result of climate change. 3.The scientific body that advises the UN on rising temperatures has just released a new report. It's an important summary of six key pieces of research completed over the past five years. Our environment correspondent Matt McGrath considers the critical messages.
Background Event (Elaboration)	1. Clean energy and technology can be exploited to avoid the growing climate disaster, the report says. But at a meeting in Switzerland to agree their findings, climate scientists warned a key global temperature goal will likely be missed.Their report lays out how rapid cuts to fossil fuels can avert the worst effects of climate change.In response to the findings, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres says that all countries should bring forward their net zero plans by a decade. These targets are supposed to rapidly cut the greenhouse gas emissions that warm our planet's atmosphere. Governments had previously agreed to act to avoid global temperature rise going above 1.5C. But the world has already warmed by 1.1C and now experts say that it is likely to breach 1.5C in the 2030s. The UK government responded that the report makes it clear that countries must "work towards far more ambitious climate commitments" ahead of the UN climate summit COP28 in November. Small islands in the Pacific are some of the countries expected to be worst hit by climate change. Responding to the report, the chair of the Alliance of Small Island States Fatumanava-o-Upolu III Dr. Pa'olelei Luteru said: "While our people are being displaced from their homes and climate commitments go unmet, the fossil fuel industry is enjoying billions in profits. There can be no excuses for this continued lack of action." The document argues strongly that going past 1.5C will not be the end of the world as this may only be a "temporary overshoot". The authors say that they are optimistic that dramatic changes can be achieved rapidly, pointing to the massive falls in the price of energy made from solar and wind.But the report also acknowledges that in addition to getting to net zero emissions as soon as possible, large scale use of carbon dioxide removal technology will be needed.Responding to the report's call for more urgent action, the UN secretary general is calling for countries to bring forward their plans for net zero by a decade.   2.Unless global emissions are cut, this cycle will continue.Here are four ways climate change is changing the weather.   1) Hotter, longer heatwaves To understand the impact of small changes to average temperatures, think of them as a bell curve with extreme cold and hot at either end, and the bulk of temperatures in the middle. A small shift in the centre means more of the curve touches the extremes - and so heatwaves become more frequent and extreme.Heatwaves can be made longer and more intense by another weather phenomenon - a heat dome. In an area of high pressure, hot air is pushed down and trapped in place, causing temperatures to soar over an entire continent. 2) More persistent droughts Less rain falls between heatwaves, so ground moisture and water supplies run dry more quickly. This means the ground takes less time to heat up, warming the air above and leading to more intense heat. 3) More fuel for wildfires Wildfires can be sparked by direct human involvement - but natural factors can also play a huge part. The cycle of extreme and long-lasting heat caused by climate change draws more and more moisture out of the ground and vegetation. These tinder-dry conditions provide fuel for fires, which can spread at an incredible speed.In 2021, Canada experienced heatwaves that led to fires which developed so rapidly and explosively that they created their own weather system, forming pyrocumulonimbus clouds. These colossal clouds then produced lightning, igniting more fires. Compared with the 1970s, fires larger than 10,000 acres (40 sq km) are now seven times more common in western America, according to Climate Central, an independent organisation of scientists and journalists. 4) More extreme rainfall events In the usual weather cycle, hot weather creates moisture and water vapour in the air, which turns into droplets to create rain.The warmer it becomes, however, the more vapour there is in the atmosphere. This results in more droplets and heavier rainfall, sometimes in a shorter space of time and over a smaller area.The weather across the globe will always be highly variable - but climate change is making those variations more extreme.And the challenge now is not only limiting the further impact people have on the atmosphere but also adapting to and tackling the extremes we are already facing.   3. 1) Overshoot is the key word The sober tones of this study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) make clear that there is very little chance of keeping the world from warming by more than 1.5C. Governments had previously agreed to act to avoid that. But the world has already warmed by 1.1C and now experts say that it is likely to breach 1.5C in the 2030s, despite all the political speechmaking.Coming back from overshooting will need expensive, unproven technology to pull CO2 from the air, something known as carbon capture.It also means that it's even more urgent to get as quickly as possible to net zero - where the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere does not increase. Every increment of global warming and every year that goes by really matters.   2) Keep it in the ground It highlights how renewable forms of energy such as wind and solar are now cheaper and that sticking with fossil fuels may be more expensive in many places than switching to low carbon systems.   3) The power is in our hands While it is easy to think that scientific reports on climate change are all about governments and energy policy, the IPCC has been moving to highlight the fact that the actions that people can take make by themselves make massive difference to the overall picture.The report nudges governments towards reforming their transport, industry and energy systems so that making these low carbon choices becomes much easier and cheaper for individuals.  4) Our actions now will resonate for thousands of years The report warns that with sustained warming of between 2 and 3C, the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets will be lost "almost completely and irreversibly" over multiple millenia.Many other thresholds will be crossed at low levels of heating, impacting things like the world's glaciers.To stop this runaway train of warming, governments need to up their commitments before 2030, to reach net zero by 2050, in order to keep warming in or around 1.5C by 2100.  5) It's now about the politics not just the science The real strength of the IPCC is that their reports are agreed with governments - and as such the reports are approved by their representatives in the presence of the scientists who research and write them. But the future of fossil fuels is becoming more and more a political question.

Comments	1. This news has been very useful and has made me a reader that it is important to cultivate a consciousness to keep our natural world going longer and better. 2. The news is so full of formations on climate change that are heating up right now. And also a detailed explanation accompanied by pictures. 3. This is very good news, the author wants to provide information on things that we can work on in guide survival when dealing with climate change.

Title	1. Homosexuality: The countries where it is illegal to be gay. 2. Have we found the 'animal origin' of Covid? 3. Israel blames Hamas for Lebanon rocket barrage as tensions rise.
Sources	1. http://www.bbc.com/news 2. http://www.bbc.com/news 3. http://www.bbc.com/news
Newsworthy Event (Main Event)	1. US Vice-President Kamala Harris who is on a tour of three African countries - Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia - has drawn criticism over her support for LGBTQ rights. 2. We now have "the best evidence" we are ever likely to find of how the virus that causes Covid-19 was first transmitted to a human, a team of scientists has claimed. 3.The Israeli military has accused the Palestinian militant group Hamas of firing dozens of rockets from southern Lebanon into northern Israel.
Background Event (Elaboration)	1. US Vice-President Kamala Harris who is on a tour of three African countries - Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia - has drawn criticism over her support for LGBTQ rights.   In Ghana, in a speech calling for "all people be treated equally" she appeared to criticise a bill before the country's parliament which criminalises advocacy for gay rights and proposes jail terms for those that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. The country's Speaker Alban Bagbin later called her remarks "undemocratic" and urged lawmakers not to be "intimidated by any person".In Tanzania, a former minister spoke against US support for LGBTQ rights ahead of the visit and in Zambia some opposition politicians have threatened to hold protests. Where is homosexuality still outlawed? There are 64 countries that have laws that criminalise homosexuality, and nearly half of these are in Africa.Many of the laws criminalising homosexual relations originate from colonial times. And in many places, breaking these laws could be punishable by long prison sentences. Out of the 53 countries in the Commonwealth - a loose association of countries most of them former British colonies - 29 have laws that criminalise homosexuality.In five countries - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, Somalia, and the United Arab Emirates - there is no legal clarity and the death penalty could be applied.There is a global trend toward decriminalising same-sex acts. So far, 33 countries in the world recognise same-sex marriages, and 34 others provide for some partnership recognition for same-sex couples, Ilga says. 2. There is a "strong association" between the early outbreak and the sale of live animals in a market, scientists say we now have "the best evidence" we are ever likely to find of how the virus that causes Covid-19 was first transmitted to a human, a team of scientists has claimed. It is the latest scientific twist in the troubled, highly politicised search for the cause of the worst pandemic in a century, one which has produced several competing theories which have neither been proved nor disproved conclusively. The most recent analysis points to a particular species as the likely animal origin of the virus. That analysis is based on evidence that was gathered three years ago from the Huanan Wildlife Market in Wuhan, which has always been a focal point of the initial outbreak. During the early days of 2020, when Covid was still a mystery disease, the Chinese Centers for Disease Control (CDC) took samples from the market. The genetic information contained in those samples has only recently been made, briefly, public, and that enabled a team of researchers to decode them and point to raccoon dogs as a possible "intermediate host" from which the disease spilled over into people. The crux of this analysis is that DNA from raccoon dogs - wild mammals that were being sold live in the market for meat - was found in the same locations as swabs from the market that tested positive for SARS CoV-2, according to an analysis that was published online on 20 March.But in the messy search for the outbreak's origin, where the market has long since closed and any animals on sale killed, we still do not have definitive proof. And the three-year delay in releasing this critical data has been described by some scientists as "scandalous". According to Prof Eddie Holmes from the University of Sydney, who was also involved in the study, this is the "best evidence we will get" of an animal origin of the virus."But it's extraordinary that the genetic data has found these ghosts - and it absolutely tells us not just what species were there, but exactly where they were in the market," Prof Holmes told the BBC. 3. Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Hamas, have also fired 25 rockets at Israel over the same period, and the Israeli military has carried out air strikes there in response. Late on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they were "currently striking in Gaza". A number of explosions were heard in Gaza, and AFP news agency reported that multiple Hamas training sites had been hit.Earlier on Thursday, air raid sirens sounded in communities across northern Israel after rockets were launched from Lebanon while Israelis celebrated the Jewish festival of Passover.Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Richard Hecht said they believed Hamas was behind the attack and that it was possible the militant group Islamic Jihad was also involved.Hamas has confirmed to the BBC that the attacks came during a visit to Beirut by its leader, Ismail Haniyeh. But a Hamas official told the BBC the visit was prepared in advance and had nothing to do with recent developments. It said it did not have any information about who fired the missiles. Mr Haniyeh was later quoted by AFP news agency as saying that "our Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance groups will not sit idly by" in the face of Israel's "savage aggression" against the al-Aqsa mosque. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his security cabinet late on Thursday to discuss the situation.Mr Netanyahu also called for a calming of tensions, adding "we will act decisively against extremists who use violence." Video footage appeared to show Israeli police entering the mosque on Wednesday night, while being pelted with objects from inside. A police statement said that "dozens of law-breaking juveniles, some of them masked, threw fireworks and stones" into the mosque "with the aim of disrupting the order" as worshippers gathered for nightly Ramadan prayers.The Israeli military meanwhile said that seven rockets were launched from Gaza early on Thursday morning and that all of them exploded in the air. Another two were fired on Wednesday evening, with one falling within the Strip and a second landing in an open area near the Gaza border fence. On Tuesday night, more than 350 Palestinians were arrested and 50 were hurt during a similar raid at the al-Aqsa mosque, while militants in Gaza fired 16 rockets into Israel and the Israeli military carried out air strikes on militant sites belonging to Hamas in response.

Comments	1. In the news, I am aware of the condition of several countries in their LGBT laws. And it made me realize that I could be more careful about receiving information on this matter from another country. 2. This news has informed me that scientists are still analyzing the source of the corona virus, and it will not be easy to do long research. 3. It is hoped to explain to readers the real conditions that occurred between Palestine and Israel that palestine had the right to attack because of their being a occupied state.

Title	1. Two British-Israeli women killed in West Bank shooting. 2. Israel strikes Lebanon and Gaza after major rocket attack. 3. Canada repatriating women and children from Syria camps.
Sources	1. http://www.bbc.com/news 2. http://www.bbc.com/news 3. http://www.bbc.com/news
Newsworthy Event (Main Event)	1. Two British-Israeli sisters have been killed and their mother has been injured in a shooting in the occupied West Bank. 2. The Israeli military has carried out air strikes on targets belonging to the Palestinian militant group Hamas in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. 3. Canada is repatriating four women and 10 children who have been held at least three years in Islamic State camps in northeastern Syria.
Background Event (Elaboration)	1. They were in a car that crashed after being shot at near the Hamra Junction, in the north of the Jordan Valley. The mayor of the settlement of Efrat said the sisters, who were in their 20s, and their 48-year-old mother lived there and were immigrants from the UK. The shooting took place hours after Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. The military said they were in retaliation for the biggest rocket attack on Israel launched from Lebanon for 17 years, which it blamed on the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The rocket barrage followed two nights of Israeli police raids at the al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem that caused anger across the region. Later on Friday, Israel said one person had died and several others had been injured in a separate shooting incident in Tel Aviv. The Israel military said the earlier incident in the Jordan Valley was initially reported as a collision between an Israeli car and a Palestinian car. But when troops arrived they found several bullet holes in the Israeli vehicle and determined that it was an attack. Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported that 22 bullet casings were found, apparently from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The head of the Israeli military's Central Command, which oversees the West Bank, called it an "extremely severe terrorist attack" and promised that its troops knew how to find those responsible. Hamas did not claim it was behind the shooting but praised it as "a natural response to [Israel's] ongoing crimes against the al-Aqsa mosque and its barbaric aggression against Lebanon and the steadfast Gaza". 2. The military said the attacks were a response to a barrage of 34 rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Thursday, which it blamed on Hamas.Militants in Gaza fired dozens more rockets after the strikes began. Tensions are high following two nights of Israeli police raids at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem earlier this week. The raids triggered violent confrontations with Palestinians inside the mosque, which is Islam's third holiest site, and caused anger across the region.Hamas did not say that it fired the rockets from Lebanon, which was the biggest such barrage in 17 years. But its leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was visiting Beirut at the time, said Palestinians would not "sit with their arms crossed" in the face of Israeli aggression. 3. The federal government agreed in January to bring back a group of women and children, but pushed back on repatriating four imprisoned men. Canada said it is taking steps to return the group due to "deteriorating conditions" in the camps.Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who is representing the families, said on Wednesday the women and children were en route to Canada. Canada offered to repatriate her children without her, as officials are still conducting a security and risk assessment for the mother, said Mr Greenspon, who represents the family. He said Canada's department of foreign affairs, Global Affairs, told the mother last week that she could either send her children home without her or keep them in the camp with her. Global Affairs said in a statement on Thursday that "as long as conditions allow" it will continue repatriation efforts.The repatriation could be the biggest so far for Canada after the so-called Islamic State caliphate was destroyed in 2019. Last October, the RCMP, Canada's federal police force, arrested a 27-year-old Canadian woman returning from Syria and charged her with terrorism-related offences. Another woman, who returned to Canada after marrying an Islamic State fighter, was also arrested and released on bail while officials seek a peace bond in her case. A federal court has also ordered the Canadian government to repatriate four men who have not been formally charged with crimes but are imprisoned in camps in Syria. British-Canadian dual national, Jack Letts, whose British citizenship was revoked, is one of the four. Over the past four years, only a handful of women and children have been brought back to Canada. More than 42,000 foreign nationals, most of whom are children, are being held in dangerous conditions in Islamic State camps across Syria, according to non-governmental organisation Human Rights Watch.
