February 15, 2019 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment

Viet Nam News LẠNG SƠN — Thousands of pilgrims and tourists flocked to the Temple of Mother Goddess in the northern mountainous province of Lạng Sơn on Thursday to attend a festival dedicated to the Mother Goddess. Among the tourists, hundreds were from China. One of the province’s largest festivals, the old temple stands on a mountain near Đồng Đăng Market in the Đồng Đăng border town, where, 40 years ago, on February 17, 1979, 600,000 Chinese invaders flooded across the Vietnamese border, killing thousands of civilians including women and children. The town of Đồng Đăng was lost on the first day of the attack, but the city’s fortress resisted for five days and was only captured after artillery bombardment.

Ten towns hit by river pollution from Brazil dam disaster

February 13, 2019 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment

Viet Nam News RIO DE JANEIRO - Ten towns in southeast Brazil are suffering river pollution after a dam collapse at a mine nearly three weeks ago that killed 166 people and left 155 missing, presumed dead, according to officials. Mineral-laced sludge from the disaster near the town of Brumadinho has contaminated 75 miles (120 kilometers) of the Paraopeba river, impacting the riverside towns, the Institute for Water Management in the affected state of Minas Gerais (IGAM) said in a report. Officials have warned locals off using the river water for drinking, watering animals or irrigation. State environmental authorities had detected levels of toxic metals in the water, including lead and chromium, in the first 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the spill. IGAM director Marilia Carvalho de Melo was quoted by a local news website saying it was "unlikely" the waste would make it as far as a hydroelectric plant on the Sao Francisco river … [Read more...] about Ten towns hit by river pollution from Brazil dam disaster

Italian town of Sambuca in Sicily sells homes for a dollar

January 18, 2019 by vietnamnet Leave a Comment

Looking for a dose of instant sunshine to help you through the winter? This latest deal out of Italy could be just the warm jolt of vitamin D you need. As of right now, you can buy a house on southern Italy's beautiful island of Sicily for less than the cost of an espresso. Sambuca, a hilltop town with views over the Mediterranean island and nearby beaches, has placed dozens of dwellings on the market for €1, or just over a dollar. The deal is aimed at reviving a community that, like many other rural spots in Italy, has suffered from depopulation in recent years as residents move to bigger cities. It's not the first Italian town to lure in outsiders with tempting offers but, say local officials, Sambuca is scrapping red tape to make sure anyone interested can more or less make their purchase right away. "As opposed to other towns that have merely done this for propaganda, this city hall owns all €1 houses on sale," says Giuseppe Cacioppo, Sambuca's deputy mayor and tourist … [Read more...] about Italian town of Sambuca in Sicily sells homes for a dollar

Tunisian government announces social reforms after week of unrest

January 14, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment

Tunisia's government on Saturday announced an increase in aid to the needy and improved health care as part of social reforms following a week of unrest triggered by austerity measures. Social Affairs Minister Mohamed Trabelsi told reporters that monthly aid to needy families would rise from 150 dinars (50 euros) to between 180 and 210 dinars (60 and 70 euros). He said reforms which have been in the pipeline for several months would guarantee medical care for all Tunisians, without elaborating, and also provide housing to disadvantaged families. The announcement came after President Beji Caid Essebsi consulted with political parties, unions and employers. The North African country has been shaken by a wave of protests over poverty and unemployment during which hundreds of people were arrested before the unrest tapered off.

January 13, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment

A Vietnamese mother was denied visa to the U.S. twice and could not attend the funeral of her son, who served in the U.S. Navy, his father told the media. The 22-year-old veteran died of leukemia last month but his mother missed his burial because her request to visit was turned down by the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, WREG-TV reported. “That’s what made me fuming mad. Fuming,” the father, Hung Truong, who is of Vietnamese origin, told the Memphis station. His son served in the Navy for four years before leaving in October and had planned to study graphic design. He died on December 17, shortly after doctors diagnosed him. The father said his son was inspired by John F. Kennedy’s exhortation: Don’t ask what your country did for you, but ask what you did for your country. “But he’s already done for this country, but what has this country done for him?” he said, as cited in the report.
