Beijing half marathon winners stripped of medals after African trio let Chinese runner win

Quick Glance: Scandal at Beijing Half Marathon: 4 Runners Disqualified

Following an unusual finish at the Beijing Half Marathon, the top finishers were disqualified as three runners from Africa seemingly made way for a Chinese competitor to win.

The finish line incident caused a commotion, prompting questions about why the three other runners appeared to yield the victory to He.

Subsequent to the investigation, all four runners were disqualified for the pacemakers deliberately slowing down in the final two kilometers of the race, aiding He's victory.

Confirmation was provided by the organizers that although Xtep invited Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu as pacemakers, they were mistakenly registered as ordinary competitors.

Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Quick Glance: US imposes new sanctions on Iran's drone program

The United States imposed new sanctions Thursday on sixteen people and two entities associated with Iran’s drone program to punish Tehran for the weekend's attack on Israel.

The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer supplying Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, companies servicing the engines, and individuals providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces in the Middle East.

Coordinated with European allies, the new sanctions aim to disrupt Iran's missile and drone program and isolate the country globally.

President Joe Biden emphasized the US commitment to holding Iran accountable, utilizing economic tools to counter Iran's activities, as stated by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Quick Glance: Chinese Hackers Preparing to Attack US Infrastructure

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese hackers have infiltrated U.S. critical infrastructure and are 'waiting for the right moment to deliver a devastating blow.'

Wray revealed that the Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has accessed numerous American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors.

The Chinese hackers operate a series of botnets to conceal their malicious cyber activities, making it difficult to determine the intent of this cyber pre-positioning.

China's Embassy in Washington pointed out that some in the U.S. are tracing cyberattacks back to China and politicizing them, while China claims to be the victim in this scenario.

The House has advanced a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian support with rare bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a strategy to secure support for wartime funding, especially for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.

President Joe Biden and even Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump have endorsed the speaker's efforts.

To pass each bill, complex bipartisan coalitions need to be formed by Johnson due to his slim Republican majority in the House, relying on Democratic support.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.
