Global sponsors quiet ahead of Beijing Winter Olympics – BBC News
BBC analysis shows a dramatic reduction in tweets referring to the Games from the Olympics’ global sponsors – as compared to last year’s Summer Games in Tokyo.
The BBC also approached all 13 Olympic partners for comment on accusations of China’s human rights abuses. None responded directly to the allegations.
The former chief marketing officer for the US Olympic Committee at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, Rick Burton, told the BBC multinationals were “walking a tightrope”.
“I don’t think that any of them as global brands can afford, or are willing, to insult the Chinese government.”

Lebanon’s army said its troops are deploying to a “pilot zone” in the south of the country following the withdrawal of Israeli forces under a US-brokered agreement reached last month.
Engineering units entered the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh in Nabatieh district on Tuesday morning, the army command announced.
Later, it said Israeli forces had opened fire in the vicinity of the troops. Israel’s military said warning shots had been fired after the troops crossed into the Israeli-declared “security zone”.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced the return of the £2 bus fare cap in most of England, but how will it be funded?
And, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, one of the first and most senior Labour politicians to publicly call for Keir Starmer to go, is expected to join Andy Burnham’s government. He’ll be joining fellow Starmer dissenters Wes Streeting and John Healey in the cabinet.
Adam Fleming is joined by Chris Mason and Henry Zeffman to unpack it all.

Wildfires continue to cause uncertainty for Spanish and French residents as more than 300,000 people have had to leave their homes.
The French interior minister said the Gironde wildfire has “a life of its own” and that firefighters are facing an “unprecedented situation”, while people in Bordeaux are growing “anxious and fearful”, one resident said, with the blaze around nine miles (15 km) from the outskirts of the city.
Over the border, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez visited Valencia where more wildfires have broken out and said that the country was suffering under the effects of climate change.

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul? What's the point of living a relative truth, hating the Absolute Truth that is Jesus Christ? You don't hate the president, you hate the Truth! They like the lie and are its slaves. Change, there is still time. Where is Al Capone now?

Don’t watch the closing ceremonies! As an athlete and coach for some 42 years now, I’m proud that I never watched one minute of live action from the genocide Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. I did not want to see which sponsors were there selling their wares under such conditions. I’ve been able to keep up with what’s going on in sport by watching the CBC nightly news and by watching the CBC website on YouTube. The newspaper heading I would love to see would be “CLOSING CEREMONIES IN BEIJING CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF VIEWERSHIP”…..to the CCP I say: “The whole worlds NOT watching!”

Complaints about the food inside the "closed loop" have been mounting, with athletes, media and other personnel posting on social media about the lack of quality, variety, or healthy choices at the available restaurants, including the canteen at the Main Media Centre (MMC). One hotel manager even admitted to CNN that the food in one of their own restaurants is “disgusting.” Fresh fruit is hard to find, and no snack items or hot food are allowed to be delivered to guests into the bubble from outside. The only shop in the MMC sells low-quality packaged snacks, a small number of toiletry items, and Chinese beer – and the shelves are often half-empty. Those who were able to visit Beijing before the pandemic have lamented their disappointment about the poor choices available in a city that is famous for its excellent food. Even the much-touted, robot-powered restaurant at the MMC is often overcrowded with people taking videos for social media, and they warn customers that it could take 40 minutes to be served. And despite the robot-powered food delivery system – which lowers plates of food via a wire from purple pods that slide along the ceiling – the rest of the operation still runs in a far less futuristic way, with customers paying in cash or credit card at the till and staff in some sections hand-delivering the trays of lukewarm dumplings that were made by the robots. The robot cocktail bar is often closed, and on several visits, the machines had run out of ingredients, so the staff on site reverted to making the drinks the old-fashioned way. The dinner buffet at the Shangri-La Hotel – which includes good quality Chinese dishes and international options – and the restaurant at the Marco Polo Hotel are among the only places inside the "closed loop" escaping major criticism of their food. But they come at a cost — notably a price tag of more than $60 per head for the Shangri-La buffet.

Look at all the Wumao posting on this article. The CCP pays them cents per post that is how desperate the CCP is to stiffle criticism. These Olympics will be the least watched gloablly around the world. The people on the mainland will be forced to watch events that they don't really understand just to cheer on the national team.

Actually, we should talk about human rights.
As America and UK government did nothing during the COVID pandemic, and killed so many their own people, making so many their own people under risks.
The American and Uk government are just like Nazi! a huge disrespect for human rights.
We should talk about this.
