Two people charged with kicking cats and dogs.

Two men have been charged by police after they were seen kicking stray cats and dogs.

According to eyewitness reports, Lao Yi, 22, and Wang Bo, 23, were seen kicking 2 cats and 3 dogs 'like a football' at the Beisu Estate in Western Pyongjing. Both men deny the charges.

Both mens claims of innocence were complicated by the fact that they resisted arrest by assaulting two police officers as well as being armed with a knife. If found guilty, both men will face a minimum 20 years in prison for causing death and cruelty to animals, for assaulting police officers and for possessing a knife in public.

Miki Yang criticised for smoking on stage.

Pop singer Miki Yang has been criticised by her peers after she deliberately lit up a cigarette on stage at the 3rd Bai Lungese Music Awards.

The "Tie Me Up!" singer collected her Best Female Solo Artist award but not before grabbing a cigarette from her purse and lighting it up. She quipped to the audience: "I've always wanted to take a drag on stage!".

Her recent erratic behaviour has drawn negative criticisms from parents who view the 20 year old as a bad role model for younger audiences. In August, she performed a fake crucifixion almost completely nude and whilst submerged in a large tank of urine. It was later revealed that the tank was actually coloured water. Ms Yang's music videos were also the subject of criticisms as they are seen as being 'too racy' for daytime tv.

Cousin of Darrell Ai Sha kept mistress for past 5 years.

The younger cousin of controversial Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha had kept a mistress in Zibo for about five years, according to SpeakOut! magazine.

The body of Perry Ai Shun, 55, was found in his apartment in the small town on November 5.

After the suspected suicide, a reporter from the the magazine found out the flat that Fang had shared with Chen Ximei, was sold seven months ago.

The current owner of the flat said Chen had returned to her hometown in New Xinjiang with her husband and she appeared to be pregnant. It is unknown if the pregnancy was caused by Perry Ai or her husband Anderson Jing.

"Chen said she was living with a rich cousin of a Conservative politician. Now he is poor, old, and ill. He couldn't give her happiness any more so they separated," the magazine said.

Earlier this year, Cheng told an Speakout! reporter that she was the girlfriend of Ai and they had met in the capital.

"I knew Chen is married and much older than me. But they (Chen and his wife) did not live together any more. He was such a sweetheart and that was all I cared." she said at the time.

Chen said she knew Ai came from an affluent family but insisted their relationship had nothing to do with money.

A left-leaning newspaper The BL Daily Star criticised Darrell Ai Sha for his hypocrisy due to his conservative stances on homosexuality, extra-marital relationships and prostitution yet allowed his cousin to engage in an alleged sexual relationship with his mistress.

45% said that a policy which would ban families from having more than one child is a good idea whilst 44% believe that it would be detrimental to the nation. The remaining 11% declined to answer.

The proposal comes as the nation is facing a shortage in natural resources within 20 to 30 years.

President Liang underfire over expensive chairs.

President Liang is facing huge criticisms from the general public after it was emerged that he used taxpayers money to purchase a pair of luxury office chairs.

According to Open Secrets Bai Lung, President Liang used surplus expense money to purchase two office chairs, worth BL$1,000 and BL$1,2000. Some of Mr Liang's aides suggest that if he grows tired of one of the chairs, then he can easily slip into the other.

The opposition Labour Party were particularly vocal in their criticism of the purchases. They have called for the president to return the money back into the treasury.

Quote:
 
'In a time were people are starving, the President is indulging himself into life of luxury by making decadent purchases of two luxury office chairs. He should return the surplus in its entirety and apologise to the public as soon as possible'
-Li An Ying


Last month, President Liang also faced criticisms for receiving money from pesticide companies in the years 2010-2012. The President has since returned the amount to the industry.

President Liang: Using expenses to pay for chairs is not illegal.

President Liang has defended his decision to use taxpayers money to purchase a pair of luxury office chairs totaling BL$2,200, according to his spokesman.

The president has claimed that there is no law that made surplus expense claims a criminal offence and there is no binding law in which politicians are required to return unspent money back to the treasury.

In the wake of the controversy, Li An Ying, the Labour leader has introduced legislation which would radically change the expense claims for MLAs and Senators. If the amount of money claimed exceeds that of the actual travelling costs, then every dollar claimed must return to the treasury. As of 15th November, the bill has 25 co-sponsors.

President Liang rejects calls to lower age of consent.

President Liang has rejected a call from leading public health experts to lower the age of consent to 15.

A letter signed by 50 members of the Public Health Institute including their President, Yorky Chu, said that society have to accept that around a quarter of boys and girls were having sex at 14 or 15 years old.

The letter said it would make it easier to get sexual advice from the Bureau of National Healthcare (BNH).

A spokesperson to President Liang said the current age of 18 was in place to protect children and there are' no plans to lower the age'.

Official figures suggest up to a quarter of teenagers have sex before the age of consent.

Conservative backbenchers have strongly condemned the age of consent changes by introducing a bill which would increase the age of consent to 21, 3 more years higher than currently put in place. The Public Sexual Health Act 2013 will not only increase the age of consent but would increase sentencing for anyone who has sex with an individual aged 21 or lower with a minimum of 20 years in prison. The bill is being co-sponorsed by controversial Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha and Gong Tiyong.

Thieves strip cleaner in attack.

A floor cleaner was bound, gagged and stripped by a group of men who robbed her of property worth BL$500 at her workplace in Pyongjing.

The woman suffered injuries to her thighs, wrists, elbows and anus in the incident early yesterday and was taken to hospital for treatment. The anal injury was believed to be caused by her falling to the ground at great heights.

Her 3 attackers were described being in their mid 20's, all sporting shaven heads. All 3 men wore black jeans and t-shirts.

According to a police source, the 42-year-old woman was in the toilets when her attackers knocked down her cubicle, put knives to her neck and said: "Don't scream."

After taking her phone, diamond ring and cash, they proceeded to molest her and tried to remove her clothes.

When she resisted, they slashed her thighs and it started to bleed. The men then bound her with duct tape, removed her clothes and took a picture of her naked with her own cell phone.

They threatened to murder her if she resisted further.

Her attackers fled in panic after a security guard came to the scene after hearing the commotion.

The security guard shortly called the police upon discovering the sexually assaulted worker.

A search of the area failed to find the culprit.

Police later searched the toilet for clues and found a condom and balaclava, which they believe may have belonged to the group.

Pyongjing police is now in charge of the investigation and is going through videos taken by CCTV cameras in the area.

Marxist party rejects 'right turning' economic policy rumours.

Senior leaders, including Jonnie Ting, have resoundly rejected rumours that they would modify their economic policies in order to attract independent voters in the next Legislative election.

An online list of possible changes to the party's platform includes the expansion of Special Economic Zones from 3 to 10, offering tax breaks to married couples and the partial privatisation of certain key industries.

The party has called these rumours as 'a fabrication made by outside agitators who serve only to destroy the core principles of the Marxist Party'. They have remained committed to the communist principles since their inception in 2007. They have stressed the need to re-nationalise key industries such as the postal service which is now offered by over 100 differnent companies. The Marxist party have strongly criticised private mailing services as being inefficient.

Shark finning cap repeal passed by Lower House.

The Lower House has passed legilsation which would removed a limit in which shark fins can be legally removed.

Voting by a partisan line, the house voted 260-238 with all Conservatives voting in favour of the repeal whilst Labour, Green, Marxist and Democrat MLAs voted against the repeal of the 100,000 annual cap. There was one abstention.

Conservative lawmakers have criticised the limit, which was introduced in 2009 and signed into law by then-President Richard Im, as an attack on the culture of Bai Lung. Also citing economic reasons, they claim the cap would discourage illegal shark finning and create jobs.

Labour lawmakers remain sceptical towards the repeal and criticised their Conservative counterparts for linking conservation efforts to that of the nation's economy.

Some Labour lawmakers to the left of the national party have criticised the annual cap as being inadequate enough to protect the welfare of sharks. They have attempted to pass legislation which would make shark finning illegal but efforts have been scuppered by a Conservative majority.

The bill will now go through the Conservative controlled upper house. President Liang supports repeal of the cap and is likely to sign the legislation.

Wuji smugglers arrested by police.

Police have arrested 5 men on suspicion of smuggling 5 crates full of strong alcoholic beverage Wuji.

The men attempted to leave Port Sung at around 0300 hours this morning but thanks to an anonymous tip-off, all 5 men failed to load any of the crates onto their speed boats.

It is widely believed that the men are criminals from a violent gang, the Red Rabbits although police have neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.

Environmentalists push for last minute plea to President Liang.

Environmentalists and Green Party activists have gathered outside the President Office Building in a last minute plea to President Liang not to sign a controversial bill which would remove the cap on shark finning.

An estimated 1,500 congregated outside the President's residency, waving placards with anti-shark finnings like 'BAN ALL SHARK FINNING' and 'SHARKS ARE OUR FRIENDS'.

The President himself was not in the building when the protesters started their demonstration at 0900 this morning.

President Liang is a strong supporter of the repeal of the finning cap and has announced that he would sign the bill once it reaches his desk.

President Liang signs shark finning cap repeal.

President Liang has signed the Freedom of Fishing Act 2013 which includes the repeal of the annual cap on shark finning.

Liang, an enthusiastic fisher himself, has stressed the need to create jobs for the entire population over serving environmentalists, whom he believes to be a group of misinformed minorities.

The President and his entourage managed to make it through the 1,500 strong crowd of environmentalists with the help of police. They have continued to protest the bill which is seen by them as being insensitive to wildlife.

The bill will be effective 1st January of next year.

Shark fin soup sales up 500% since cap lifted.

Sales of shark fin soup have surged by a massive 500% since President Liang had signed the Freedom of Fishing Act 2013, effectively lifting the cap on shark finning.

Some restaurants even asked customers to place their names on a 3 month waiting list as sale of the delicacy sky rocketed.

One restaurant in Port To had depleted its stock of shark fins within 3 minutes as customers scrambled to order the dish.

According to a local poll in Port To, 85% say that shark finning is good for the economy.

Wayne Po Li-Er renews criticism of President Liang: Liang in right direction but he is part of problem.

Head of the National Fisheries Association of Bai Lung Wayne Po Li-er has once again renewed criticisms of President Liang for perpetuating the idea of government.

Initially praising the president for signing a bill which would remove the yearly cap on shark finning and for jettisoning a bill back in February which would impose a cap on fishing, Mr Po has sharply criticised the President being part of the problem and not a solution. He went on to call for the government to be abolished in favour of 'conservative individual sovereignty.'

Quote:
 
'The Freedom of Fishing Act 2013 proved to be a big asset to the fishing industry as it would provide the jobs and the revenue needed for a faltering industry, no thanks in part of his predecessor, the far-left Communist Richard Im. That's a 2-0 victory for the real people of Bai Lung, following our victory over a fishing cap bill defeat back in February.

However, President Liang may have seemingly taken the country in the right direction because he chose the right initiatives. He is still by nature, a bureaucrat who will dictate our lives, our freedoms and our tradition. We don't need a government to set our conservative agenda. It is within our nature to be conservative. A government presence only promotes tyranny, losing our conservative culture. We must rise up and throw out this parasite before it kills us all. Long live a conservative individual sovereignty over liberal collectivism.'


Once again, police have investigated comments made by Mr Po for making threats towards the President. This is the second time Mr Po has been investigated this year, following similar comments he made back in February.

Liquor festival set to 10th December.

Organisers of the 3rd Liquor Tasting Festival have re-scheduled a date of 10th December.

The change of date came 2 days after one of the kegs, which was owned by one of the distilleries, suddenly combusted for no apparent reason.

Police have concluded that the keg was placed near a generator which was used to provide electricity to a nearby tent. They have concluded that the heat it gave off caused the contents of the keg to combust.

Kashgar mob burns down community centre in New Xinjiang. 50 dead from riots.

A group of Kashgars have burned down a Bai Lungese owned Community centre in retaliation of an earlier killing of a fellow Kashgar by a group of Bai Lungese.

The arson took place in the Northern area of the mainland capital. The centre housed 30 people at the time.

The occupants attempted to flee from the fire but their exit was blocked by the angry mob who threw stones at their direction as well as shoving them back into the burning building.

A group of Bai Lungese clashed with the Kashgar mob, resulting in another violent ethnic clash. Both sides threw stones and stabbed each other. Kashgar and Bai Lungese mobs were calling for the death of each others race.

Police quelled the riots and fire engines and ambulances were brought to the scene to deal with injured participants.

According to eyewitnesses, the remaining Kashgar rioters refused medical treatment and fled the scene promptly before police could detain them.

The riot has resulted in the deaths of 50 people, including 24 occupants of the community centre.

A Kashgar blogger, going under the name Sergei1953, has called for the mass killing of Bai Lungese and their remains to be sent back to Mao island via rocket.

Mountaineer star falls short of record.

Mountainer star Ben Ge fails to surpass a record for staying on the top of Mount Chen for the longest possible time.

The record is currently 11 days, 23 hours, 33 minutes and 5 seconds and was achieved by Ralph Fang in January 2011.

Mount Chen is known for it's very harsh, cold weather and sets itself apart from the more humid condiitons on ground level.

Mr Ge began to descend from the top of Mount Chen after suffering from stomach pains.

In total, Mr Ge spent 11 days. 20 hours and 3 minutes on top, 3.5 hours shorter than the all time record.

Once Mr Ge reached ground level. he was enthusiatically greeted by friends and family who were supporting him throughout his journey.
