Phát biểu khai mạc hội nghị Chính phủ với các địa phương sáng 2/7, Thủ tướng Nguyễn Xuân Phúc cho rằng, hai tháng rưỡi qua không có ca nhiễm Covid-19 trong cộng đồng nhờ Việt Nam đã có đối sách đúng.

Kinh tế Việt Nam có nhiều điểm sáng khi sớm đưa ra chủ trương thực hiện mục tiêu kép (chống dịch bệnh và phát triển sản xuất kinh doanh). Ông dự báo tình hình sản xuất kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp sẽ ổn định và tốt hơn trong quý III và cho rằng chủ trương kích cầu du lịch và hàng không nội địa của Chính phủ khá thành công.

Al Jazeera, July 2, 2020

Several of Israel’s staunchest allies have criticised its annexation plans as jeopardising the status quo.

Israel’s annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank has been fiercely criticised by not only Palestinians but by the international community at large.

The plan, which aims to annex all illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank – including the strategic Jordan Valley – amounts to one-third of the territory and is in line with US President Donald Trump’s so-called “Middle East plan,” which envisages a demilitarised Palestinian state on a patchwork of disjointed parts of the Palestinian territories.

Ủy ban Thường vụ Quốc Hội nước CHXHCN Việt Nam
UBND Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Chúng tôi kí tên dưới đây, là các cá nhân và tổ chức xã hội yêu môi trường, hoạt động trong các lĩnh vực liên quan, đồng kiến nghị Thủ tướng Chính phủ, Ủy ban Thường vụ Quốc Hội, UBND TPHCM xem xét lại và đánh giá độc lập toàn bộ dự án Khu Đô thị du lịch lấn biển Cần Giờ 2.870 ha, vì những lí do sau đây:

1. Quyết định phê duyệt Báo cáo Đánh giá tác động môi trường dự án Khu Đô thị du lịch lấn biển Cần Giờ của Bộ Tài nguyên Môi trường cho thấy các tác động của dự án lên môi trường chưa được đánh giá khách quan, toàn diện. Đặc biệt, những vấn đề quan trọng nhất đã chưa được đánh giá đầy đủ trước khi phê duyệt, như: tác động của việc thực hiện dự án đến Khu Dự trữ sinh quyển rừng ngập mặn Cần Giờ, vấn đề xói lở, bồi tụ và dòng chảy các khu vực xung quanh dự án, các biện pháp giảm thiểu thích đáng các tác động tiêu cực của dự án.

Nguy cơ Khu Đô thị lấn biển Cần Giờ tác động xấu lên rừng ngập mặn Cần Giờ sẽ kéo theo hàng loạt ảnh hưởng tiêu cực khác lên khu vực đô thị TPHCM, nơi hiện tại người dân và chính quyền vốn đang phải đối mặt với nhiều gánh nặng về ô nhiễm môi trường, ngập lụt, sụt lún, v.v.

What makes Asia−Pacific’s Generation Z different?

Gen Zers in the Asia–Pacific region aren’t like their older siblings. Here is what you need to know.

Gen Zers (born 1996–2012) are coming of age. By 2025, the group will make up a quarter of the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region’s population—the same as millennials (born 1980–1995). And as Gen Zers mature, they will make and spend more money. Although Gen Zers share many qualities with millennials, it’s wrong to think of them simply as a younger version. Generation Z has its own unique characteristics. For one thing, unlike millennials, Gen Zers are entering into adulthood during a global pandemic. Still, the demographics are clear: by 2025, the two cohorts will compose half of APAC consumers.

In an effort to understand the distinctive ways that Gen Zers research, consider, purchase, and use products, in the second half of 2019 McKinsey surveyed more than 16,000 consumers in six countries—Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.1 Then we compared results across three generations—Gen Zers, millennials, and Gen Xers (born 1965–1979). The survey asked respondents about their general attitudes toward brands, shopping, digital, and media, as well as their outlook on the world. It also asked specific questions about shopping habits and brands for selected categories (Exhibit 1).
