123 Buildings in Taiwan Deemed Uninhabitable after Quake
123 buildings in Tainan City have been listed as dangerous after the recent earthquake in Taiwan.
Tainan's Public Works Bureau says 6 buildings with severe damage must be demolished4 immediately, while all the buildings are no longer suitable for habitation.
Tainan's vice5 mayor Zeng Xuzheng says cleaning up and restoring traffic flow remain priorities.
"Our work today is to clean up the waste and steel on the Yongda road, carry out resurfacing, and re-open it open to traffic. Disinfection is also on-going in the surrounding areas, so far we are sterilizing6 both the south and the north.
Meanwhile, Tainan city prosecutor's office has summoned Lin Minghui, the contractor7 builder of the Wei Guan Building for questioning.
It has also issued a property sequestration of his company while collecting evidence for possible faulty design and fraud in construction.
The U-shaped Wei Guan Building collapsed8 seconds after the quake, accounting9 for 114 deaths
Tainan city mayor Lai Qingde urges some residents to wait before moving back into their homes, and promises government assistance in rebuilding and relocation.
"Although the houses are not listed on the "dangerous list", I would suggest you not to go back. At least wait until we help you make it safe, then you can go back in."
On Monday, the Chinese mainland's Taiwan affairs chief Zhang Zhijun conveyed condolences from mainland leaders to the victims of the disaster.
The search and rescue operation has ended. The bodies of all missing residents have been discovered.
The official death toll10 of the quake is 116.
Hundreds March in Support of Police after Hong Kong Riot
Anchor
Civil groups in Hong Kong have taken part in a march to condemn last week's riot in Mong Kok and to show support for the police force.
Around 300 people took part in the riot in early hours on last Tuesday. Nearly 100 police officers as well as four journalists were injured.
CRI's Li Jianhua has more.
Reporter
Led by the civil group 'Alliance in Support of Our Police Force', more than 200 demonstrators gathered at Hong Kong's landmark11 Clock Tower, holding up banners and signboards and shouting slogans in support of the police.
Leticia Lee is the founder12 of the Alliance and was the main organizer of the pro-police march. She called on the local government to reflect on the situation and thoroughly13 investigate events.
"All Hong Kong residents should do some soul-searching after this incident, because it takes two to tango. As we all can see, the government has to figure out ways to deal with the anger in our young people. After the arrests of rioters, we have to press on and make clear what they want and what motivated them to participate in such a riot."
Meanwhile, Lam Siu-lun, the honorary president of the Hong Kong Tourism Practitioners14' Union says such violent attacks posed a great threat to the city's tourism sector15.
"Frankly16, any recurrence17 of violent incidents or riots like this will have a disastrous18 effect on the situation and keep tourists away for a long time to come."
About 300 people participated in the riot in early hours on last Tuesday at Mong Kok, one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping areas.
The riot erupted after a handful of illegal street vendors19 refused to halt trading and clashed with law enforcement officials.
Nearly 100 police officers as well as four journalists were injured as a result.
Zhang Xiaoming, director of the Liaison20 Office of the central government in Hong Kong says the government severely21 condemned22 the separatists' violent behaviors.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying also called on all political parties not to make excuses for the bloody23 violence.
"The government is calling on the public, especially the political parties, not to make excuses for, or attempt to rationalize the violence and the motivations behind it, let alone whitewashing24 the rioters."
Rita Fan, a deputy of the Hong Kong Special Administrative25 Region to China's National People's Congress Standing26 Committee, criticized the riot as a cowardly venting27 of hatred28, which brings harm to the Hong Kong people.
"All of them wore headscarves and masks and would not show their true faces. You had the guts29 to clash with police and to attack officers with bricks, but had no guts to face the consequences. Were those brave or cowardly acts? I believe it is clear to all Hong Kong residents."
As of Saturday, police had arrested more than 60 suspects and 41 of them have been charged with rioting.
Ma Yan-kwok, barrister with High Court of Hong Kong, described the violence as a severe criminal offence rather than a simple act of assembly.
"Their action has obviously overstepped the limit of freedom of assembly. The case should be dealt with by criminal law. This is a severe criminal offence. I believe it is highly likely that the violators will be convicted as criminals of riot. They need a warning so that their followers30 won't do it again."
A survey shows more than half of Hong Kong local residents interviewed say they believe the protestors should be held responsible for the incident, and hoped all political parties could set aside prejudices and find a solution through negotiation31.

Chinese, ROK Officials to Discuss Korean Peninsula Issue
The seventh high-level strategic dialogue between China and South Korea will be held in Seoul on Tuesday.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui and South Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam will co-chair the dialogue.
Besides bilateral32 relations, the current situation on the Korean Peninsula is also going to be on the agenda.
The sixth high-level strategic dialogue was held in 2013 in Beijing.
720 Liters of Methamphetamine Seized in Australia
Police in Australia have seized 720 liters of methamphetamine worth over 730 million U.S. dollars.
This marks the country's largest haul of the illicit33 drug.
Michael Keenan, Australian Justice Minister, said such a successful seizure34 is the result of joint35 cooperation between relevant departments from both China and Australia.
"This largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine to date is the result of organized criminals targeting the lucrative36 Australian ice market from offshore37. And very importantly the operation has been informed by the very successful efforts of the Australian Federal Police and Chinese (National) Narcotics38 Control Commission joint operation Task Force Blaze, that we established in November last year specifically to target the international ice-smuggling market."
He added that the seizure has resulted in 3.6 million individual hits of the drug worth over 900 million U.S. dollars being taken off the streets.
So far, 3 suspects from Hong Kong and another one from the Chinese mainland have been put under police custody39, and they will stand trial in Sydney next month.
An earlier statement from Australia Federal Police said the 4 suspects hid the drug in boxes of silicon40 bra inserts and art supplies, and stored them separately in 5 hideouts in Sydney.
They face a potential life sentence if convicted.
New Favorable Policies Boost NEV Appliers in Beijing
Official data shows that nearly 14-thousand Beijing residents have applied41 for electric car license42 plates at the beginning of this year.
That accounts about a quarter of new energy vehicle quota43 of 2016 in the city.
Auto44 Commentator45 Zhang Bin46 says that the demand for electric cars will be quickened due to the city's new favorable policies.
"When the NEV buyers are exempt47 from getting a license plate through lottery48 system before buying a new car, which is free of driving restriction49 during smoggy days, the demand of NEVs will see explosive growth. People will be more interested in new energy cars instead of other types of cars."
However, the battery qualities and shortage of charging facilities are still hindering the increase of NEVs.
One Beijing resident says that electric cars have positives and drawbacks alike.
"An electric car is good for commuters in the city, but it is inconvenient50 to go far. The battery can not afford a round trip of at least 400 kilometers, and there are little charging facilities on some express ways."
Beijing local transport authority will issue 60-thousand NEV license plates this year on a first-come, first-serve basis.
An auto insider says that the number of new energy vehicle will reach over 600-thousand this year.
Half Million Revelers Celebrate Spring Festival in London
Around 500 thousand Chinese and British people have gathered in central London to celebrate the Chinese lunar New Year.
A grand parade started from the north of Trafalgar Square, with 30 dragon and lion dance troupes51 entertaining the crowd.
The celebrations featured acrobatics52, martial53 arts, musical performance as well as Sichuan opera.
It has attracted a number of local residents.
"The kids are having their half term and it's Chinese New Year so it's a good opportunity to bring them out to experience the culture."
"We're from China, although my son was born here, but I'd like him to know about China, to understand Chinese culture and to appreciate where we're from."
Deputy festival director Joseph Wu explained the event's significance.
"Well I think if you come to London today you will see so many people here and it's really a proof of how welcoming London has been to the different communities and different cultures and how much the Chinese have been engaged in the mainstream54 culture as well. I think today is a real good example of community engagement. It's amazing; everybody is having a good time."
Small tents were also erected55 where retailers57 sold traditional Chinese food and New Year accessories.
This year's event which fell on Valentine's Day is one of the largest Chinese New Year celebrations outside Asia.
Foreign Firms Remain Confident in China's Economy
Anchor
Despite the economic slowdown China currently faces, the majority of foreign companies still remain confident in the Chinese market and have shown growing interest in investing in the country.
CRI's Luo Wen has more.
Reporter
The American Chamber58 of Commerce in China has suggested in a recent survey that the business environment in China is getting tougher due to rising labor59 costs and regulatory challenges such as online controls and monopoly probes.
However, the report also shows China remains60 a top-three investment priority for 60 percent of the respondents, and close to 70 percent of member firms remain positive about China's economic outlook in the next two years.
Director-General of Japan External Trade Organization's Beijing Office, Yoshihisa Tabata
says Japanese investment to China is rising.
"China's economy is slowing down. But few Japanese firms feel that the fact has a negative effect on the Chinese market. They believe that an economic slowdown is normal under China's "New Normal". Many Japanese companies think that they should expand their businesses in China in the current economic climate."
Chairman of BVWM China Bosman has led German business delegations61 to China for many times and he is also quite positive about the Chinese market.
"We have quite a good overview62 about the Chinese market. We brought seven members and many delegations from Germany to China because we want to show our companies opportunities in China so they have more outgoing investments from Germany that means FDI for China."
Data released by China's Ministry63 of Commerce shows the amount of foreign capital investment reached over 126 billion U.S. dollars last year, up 6.4 percent year-on-year.
The data also shows a total of 26,575 foreign-invested enterprises were set up across China last year, a 12 percent increase on the previous year.
Tang Wenhong, head of Foreign Investment Division of China's Ministry of Commerce, adds that investment in China's burgeoning64 service industry and high-tech65 manufacturing continued with a robust66 growth last year.
"Last year, the actual use of foreign capital in the service industry reached 477 billion yuan, up some 17 percent year on year. The actual use of foreign capital in high-tech manufacturing stood at 58.35 billion yuan, up 9.5 percent year on year."
Earlier this month, China further loosened controls over investment of Qualified67 Foreign Institutional Investors68 as a means to further open up the domestic capital market.
Under the new policy, the investment amount is subject to a ceiling of 5 billion U.S. dollars, up from one billion U.S. dollars previously69.
For CRI, this is Luo Wen.
QA with Winston Wong on Global Stock Market Sell-off
Global stock markets were on their shakiest footing in years during China's lunar new year holiday.
Investors are fleeing stocks and running to safe-havens like bonds and gold, driven by concerns about economic growth and the effectiveness of central banks' policies.
At the same time, tumbling energy prices are upending the economies of oil-producing countries, further slicing into global economic growth.
Only six weeks ago cheap oil prices were still expected to cushion the global economy, and the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates for the first time since 2008 was widely seen as a vote of confidence in the world's largest economy.

Microcephaly in the Spotlight71 amid Zika Outbreak
Anchor
The ongoing Zika outbreak has brought to light the neurological disorder microcephaly, which causes small heads and brain deformations72 in new born babies. Because of its rarity, many questions remain unanswered about the condition.
CRI's Victor Ning has more.
Reporter
Brazil has reported over 4,000 Zika-related microcephaly cases since last October. That compares to less than 150 cases reported in the country in all of 2014. The disorder seems to be linked to mothers infected with Zika during pregnancy73.
Despite the surging numbers, the Zika virus has not been scientifically proven to cause microcephaly.
Dr. Alan Stanton is a community pediatric consultant74 at the Heart of England Foundation Trust hospitals.
He says more research is needed to establish a direct link.
"The problem with Zika virus is that we really don't know, at the moment, enough about it to be able to say exactly when it might go on to cause microcephaly. I think there's a huge amount we don't know, we don't even really know absolutely one hundred per cent that Zika virus is causing microcephaly although there seems to be increasing and mounting evidence of that."
Microcephaly is not restricted to Zika-infected areas. Dr. Stanton says a number of factors could lead to the extremely rare condition.
“Certainly one in several thousand births would be a realistic figure. A precise figure would depend on all kinds of things for example what's the prevalence of cousin marriages that might lead to various recessive75 genes76 being expressed more frequently, what's the prevalence of things like drug misuse77, alcohol misuse among pregnant women because those things can also be among causes of microcephaly, plus, of course the various viruses that are associated with with it, but it's an unusual presentation."
The increase in microcephaly in Latin American has led to a flurry of advisories78 about travel restrictions79 and delaying pregnancies80.
Meanwhile, doctors are still looking to answer many questions about the disorder. It is still unknown if Zika-related brain malformations will be the same as those in children with microcephaly through other causes. Dr. Stanton says the disorder can differ in severity in patients, depending on how their brains have been affected81.
"Some children with microcephaly in fact will be absolutely normal in developmental terms and others will have very severe developmental delay, maybe cerebral82 palsy, maybe epilepsy, maybe behavourial problems, there's quite a large range."
Many mothers did not know they were infected with Zika until their babies were born with microcephaly. Dr. Stanton says often the disorder can't be detected in the fetus83 until the second trimester. He adds screening is possible if there are inherited risks.
The World Health Organization said last week that scientists could have a definite answer about the link between Zika and microcephaly within weeks, and that the development of a Zika vaccine84 could take up to 18 months.

Video Released Showing Former Israeli PM Denying Wrongdoing
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert left his residence on Monday morning to begin a 19-month jail sentence.
He will be serving time for a bribery85 conviction and for obstructing86 justice.
Earlier, a video has been released, showing the former Israeli Prime Minister denying any wrongdoing.
"When I was prime minister I was granted the highest responsibility to protect the citizens of Israel and today I am the one who is going to be locked behind bars. You can guess how this change is painful and strange for me, for my family, my dear ones and supporters. At this time it's important for me to say once more, as I said at court and outside court, I reject outright87 the bribery accusations88 against me."
He will be the first former Israeli prime minister to go to jail.
Olmert was accused of taking bribes89 to promote a controversial real-estate project in Jerusalem.
The charges pertained90 to a period when he was mayor of Jerusalem and trade minister, years before he became prime minister a decade ago.
Antonin Scalia Dies of Natural Causes: Presidio County Judge
A top elected official from Presidio County in Texas has said that U.S. Supreme91 Court Justice Antonin Scalia died of natural causes.
County Judge Cinderela Guevara made the announcement after consulting with Scalia's personal physician and sheriff's investigators92.
"History was being made… and my only concern was to make sure everything was done right and I did my own investigation93, which included talking to his physician and after talking to his physician and from what I was told from the US marshal and the sheriff that was there with no signs of foul94 play that is how I came to the conclusion that in fact that this was in all probability a natural death."
Scalia's body has been taken to a funeral home in Texas as officials awaited word on whether to perform an autopsy95.
The U.S. Supreme Court Justice was found dead in his room at a West Texas resort ranch96 on Saturday morning.
He was 79 years old.
Haitian Interim97 President Elected ahead of April Contest
A former Haitian Interior Minister has been elected as the country's interim president.
62-year-old Jocelerme Privert was voted on Sunday as the National Assembly's provisional president and has been formally installed.
Privert promised during a speech to lawmakers that his interim administration would foster confidence within all sectors98 of society.

The transitional government is to organize the upcoming general elections in April, and the winner will start a 5-year term on May 14.
Haitian stakeholders reached a political agreement on February 7 in a bid to install an interim government.
This came in less than 24 hours before Former President Michel Martelly's ended his 5-year term wihtout a new elected leader in place.
The first round of the presidential run-off last October sparked unrest among opposition100 members and their supporters, who accused the ruling party of manipulating the vote.
Rising violence and threats in the country have forced the elections to be delayed twice since last December.

China Central Bank: No Reason for Yuan to Fall Further

People's Bank of China governor Zhou Xiaochuan says the Chinese yuan has no basis for further depreciation117. The central banks chief blamed foreign speculators in part for the volatility118 of the yuan.
He said China would keep the yuan basically stable versus119 a basket of currencies while allowing greater volatility against the U.S. dollar.
In addition, Zhou Xiaochuan suggested that speculators should not be allowed to dominate market sentiment regarding China's foreign exchange reserves and it was quite normal for reserves to fall and rise.
Zhou said he believes yuan exchange reform will help the market be more flexible in dealing120 with speculative121 forces.

He will face Pablo Andujar in the first round.
Top seed Nadal is against compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta.
David Ferrer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga are seeded number two and three.
Tsonga is making his debut in Rio's clay court for the French Open at Roland Garros in May.
"Playing on clay is also good for me. I have a major (Grand Slam) in my country on clay court and at this time of the season we don't have clay court tournaments. So, it was good also to keep playing on the clay court and get used to it a little bit more and trying to be a better player on this surface."
Other seeded players in Rio include John Isner, Jack143 Sock and Fabio Fognini.

The three movies contributed to more than 90 percent of China's box office during the same period.
DreamWorks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda 3" was simply drowned out by the three blockbuster films, with a box office of 31 million U.S. dollars during the holiday, bringing its total to 125 million U.S. dollars since its debut on Jan 29.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet React after BAFTA Win
Leonardo DiCaprio has reunited with his "Titanic149" and "Revolutionary Road" co-star Kate Winslet at the BAFTA awards show.
DiCaprio picked up his first ever BAFTA award on Sunday, winning Best Actor for his role in the revenge drama "The Revenant".
Winslet scored the Best Supporting Actress honor for her role in "Steve Jobs", and she dedicated150 her award to women who have suffered criticism.
Backstage, DiCaprio described his love for cinema since teenage.
"I grew up in this industry. Ironically I felt very detached from it, even when I lived in east LA, in Hollywood, I always felt like it was this distant thing that I couldn't touch, so to have worked in this industry ever since I was 13 years old, having done twenty some-odd movies to be here now and have to be for a film like this that we worked so very hard on, really feels amazing and I feel it."
Starring as Joanna Hoffman, the colleague of the late Apple co-founder, Kate Winslet took the opportunity to encourage young women to fight for their parts.
"And so what I feel like saying in those moments is to any young woman who has ever been put down by a teacher or a friend or even a parent, just don't listen to any of it because that's what I did. I didn't listen and I kept on going and I overcame all of my fears and I got over a lot of insecurities and just keep doing it and keep believing in yourself."
It was Winslet's third BAFTA win, after winning awards for "Sense and Sensibility" in 1996 and "The Reader" in 2009.
