From Oxford - A 'fat' tax would need to be relatively high in order to make a significant impact on population health, according to a report published online in the British Medical Journal. Reviewing multiple studies, researchers found that taxing unhealthy food and drink can greatly reduce non-communicable diseases such as obesity and heart disease. The tax would need to be at least 20% and combined with subsidies for healthy foods in order to be effective.

From Ottawa - Research published in the CMAJ examines the rise in medical tattoos. More and more young Canadians are getting tattoos that list their medical conditions and allergies, as a replacement for the widely used MedicAlert bracelets. The major problem, however, is that paramedics and physicians are trained to look for the bracelets and not tattoos.

Tibetan Singer LOLO Arrested by Chinese Authorities for singing about Tibet's Independence
Share this Video to expose China's brutal occupation of Tibet *Click here for more Tibet videos www.youtube.com April 23, 2012: Chinese authorities in eastern Tibet have arrested a well-known Tibetan singer on suspected charges of singing songs calling for Tibet's independence. Lo Lo, 29, was arrested on April 19 in Yushul region of eastern Tibet. According to Lobsang Sangyal, an exile monk in south India, the singer's arrest came months after he released an album titled "Raise the flag of Tibet, sons of the snow." News Link: phayul.com The title song of the album calls for independence of Tibet and reunion of the Tibetan people -- messages that are common to the slogans raised by the 35 Tibetans who have self-immolated in Tibet since 2009. "To promote loyalty to the Land of Snows, For the complete independence of Tibet, With a realised understanding of our objectives, Raise the flag of Tibet- sons of the snow," a portion of the lyrics reads. In the song, Lo Lo further sings for the "return of the saviour" to Tibet and "reunion of the Tibetan people." Lo Lo's arrest is part of a wider crackdown on Tibetan intellectuals, writers, and artists, including singers and filmmakers. Tibetans promoting Tibetan national identity and culture have been the target of China's ongoing onslaught on intellectuals, especially after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In mid February, another popular Tibetan singer, Ugyen Tenzin was arrested by the Chinese government for praising the His Holiness ...

Talking to a Japanese newspaper, he accused the regime of oppressing the life of the general public. In an interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun, a Japanese national newspaper on Wednesday, dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei told their correspondent that he regretted designing the Bird's Nest stadium. It was used for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Ai described the Beijing 2008 Olympics as a show that the Chinese communist regime put on. He said, "It was merely a stage for a political party to advertise its glory to the world." "The Beijing Olympics have oppressed the life of the general public with the latest technologies and a security apparatus of 700000 police guards. It was merely a stage for a political party [the Chinese Communist Party] to advertise its glory to the world." Ai also accused the Chinese regime of "manipulating the public for their own interests" in the patriotic propaganda campaign. He said, "I became disenchanted because I realized I was used by the government to spread their patriotic education. Since the Olympics, I haven't looked at (the stadium)."

What's unclear is just how the $1.7 trillion dollars in debt will be repaid. One Tuesday, the Chinese regime urged local governments to take measures to repay their debts%mdashabout $1.7-trillion in bank loans borrowed from Beijing during the 2008--2009 financial crisis. The regime's Finance Minister spoke at a news conference at the National People's Congress in Beijing. [Xie Xuren, Chinese Finance Minister]: "We ordered local governments to do a good job in repaying their debts. In terms of the governments' debts, local governments need to set up debt repayment funds to use all their fiscal resources available to repay their debts." He did not give specific details on what he meant by doing a "good job." He also spoke about the possibility of including local debts in the national budget, although the economic impact of doing so was not addressed.

Yet he was met with protests and a lawsuit as he arrived on the island. Many groups are unhappy with the visit including Falun Gong practitioners, Tibetans and Taiwanese businessmen who lost money in the Mainland. It's the first official visit to Taiwan by a Chinese Communist Party official since Ma Ying-jeou started his second term in office. The mayor of Beijing, Guo Jinlong, touched down at Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport on February 16th for what's been called as a six-day visit to promote cultural relations. Guo was immediately met with protests by Falun Gong practitioners, Tibetans and Taiwanese businessmen. Just hours before Guo arrived, practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual movement had filed a lawsuit accusing Guo of committing crimes against humanity. The Taiwan Falun Dafa Association's lawyer, Theresa Chu, told media that Guo had been involved in the suppression of Tibetans when he was posted in Tibet and the persecution of Falun Gong in Anhui Province and in Beijing. Guo was part of the 2008 Olympic organizing committee which ordered the arrest of over 500 Falun Gong practitioners in the run up to the Beijing Olympics. Protests have continued during the trip.

As Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping meets with officials at the White House and the Pentagon...down the street by the US Capitol, one Chinese woman is telling lawmakers her family's story of suffering and despair at the hands of the Chinese regime. Geng He, the wife of imprisoned rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, is testifying before the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China. Gao defended individuals from vulnerable groups in China including Christians and Falun Gong practitioners, taking cases other lawyers wouldn't dare to.

Since then Gao has been in and out of prison, telling accounts of being tortured by authorities.

China's Trade Slows Sharply
For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ on.fb.me Trade between China and other countries has plunged according to official statistics, suggesting the global economic slowdown is also embroiling China. Analysts say the fall is not only due to the closure of factories during the long Lunar New Year manufacturing break. Instead, they also blame the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. China's trade data has suffered its biggest fall since 2008, heightening fears that the economic woes of the United States and Europe will also hit China's economy. China's exports fell to $149.9 billion, 0.5 percent down from a year earlier, due to weak overseas demand and the closure of factories during the Lunar New Year. It was the first time exports fell in more than two years. Imports were more concerning, with a 15.3 percent plunge bringing total imports to $122.7 billion. At the same time, China's global trade surplus swelled to a six month high of $27.3 billion, which is likely to be a talking point when Chinese Communist official Xi Jinping visits the US this week. This swell raises a politically sensitive issue, as the US and other countries have long accused Beijing of hurting their economies by keeping its currency artificially low in order to boost exports and swell its trade surplus. But falling imports are also a concern for suppliers like Brazil, Australia and South Africa whose economies are heavily reliant on selling ...

Michal Orzechowski, a Polish journalist, writer and human rights activist for the NGO World Solidarity, has a penchant for finding interesting stories in unlikely places. The author of a book called "Free Tibet, Free China" Michal says that for the best stories, you need to be ready to step out of the comfort zone of your domestic back yard.

And I was shocked by the Russian brutality. They destroyed private houses, they even stole toilets from bathrooms, and they were kidnapping people at night."

Chinese Regime Promises to Start Stricter Air Monitoring
For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ me.lt Many of China's cities have been shrouded in dusty haze for a long time. Authorities have been criticized for not reporting the level of air pollution accurately. That's because most cities only measure large pollutants, instead of more harmful, smaller particles. This may soon change though, with authorities now planning to impose tougher standards nationwide. As major cities in China are being choked by smog, the Chinese regime says it will begin monitoring smaller air pollutants starting next year. Since 2008, authorities have been monitoring pollutants, known as fine particulate matter 2.5, or simply PM2.5, in eight pilot cities. But everywhere else in the country, only larger particles called PM 10 are being measured. This difference means the real amount of air pollution can be masked. On Tuesday, The China National Environmental Monitoring Center released its findings for the eight pilot cities. The data left out Beijing, but includes cities like Guangzhou and Shanghai. It found that in some cities, the level of PM2.5 exceeded safe levels nearly 50% of the time from 2008 to 2010. These heavily populated places also had hazy days from over two months to six months of the year. An environmental researcher, who asked to remain anonymous, says that level of pollution is bad news for the public. [Environmental Researcher]: "Some of PM2.5 particles may contain ...
