China’s repression in Tibet, the status of the exiled Dalai Lama, and its treatment of ethnic minorities spurred violent protests ahead of Beijing’s 2008 Olympics.It could happen again.China is to host the 2022 Winter Olympics with rumblings of a boycott and calls to move the games from Beijing because of alleged human rights violations.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach was presented with that demand ahead of the body’s executive board meeting in Switzerland on Wednesday by a coalition of human rights groups representing Tibet, Uighurs in China’s Xinjiang region, Hong Kong and others. In a letter, the group asked the IOC to “reverse its mistake in awarding Beijing the honor of hosting the Winter Olympic Games in 2022.”The letter said that the 2008 Olympics had failed to improve China’s human rights record, and that since then, it has built “an Orwellian surveillance network” in Tibet and incarcerated more than a million Uighurs, a mostly Muslim ethnic group. It listed a litany of other alleged abuses from Hong Kong to the Inner Mongolia region, as well as intimidation of Taiwan.China has repeatedly denied the charges and accused other countries of interfering in its internal affairs. It at first denied the existence of the camps for Uighurs, and then said they were job training centers to battle terrorism.“Through vocational education and training, Xinjiang has taken preventive counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures, effectively contained the once frequent terrorist activities, and protected the right to life, health and development of all ethnic groups to the best extent,” foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said last week. “Over the past four years there hasn’t been a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang.”The IOC argued the 2008 Olympics would transform China and improve its human rights record. Instead, they are often compared to Hitler’s 1936 Berlin Olympics; an authoritarian state using the games as a stage.A Washington Post editorial this month suggested China should lose the Olympics. “The world must ask whether China, slowly strangling an entire people, has the moral standing to host the 2022 Winter Olympics,” it said. “We think not.”These are precarious times for the Swiss-based IOC. Its finances — and those of 200 national Olympic committees and dozens of Olympic-related sports federations — have been shaken by the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics until 2021 because of COVID-19.Bach warned two months ago against boycotts but said he was not referring specifically to Beijing. The Swiss-based body generates 73% of its revenue from selling television rights and 18% from sponsors and has seen its income stalled by the Tokyo delay.After European cities such as Oslo and Stockholm dropped out, the IOC was left with only two bidders for 2022: Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan. Beijing won by four votes, taking the Winter Olympics to a country with no tradition — but a giant, untapped market.Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., the IOC member who oversees the Beijing Games, declined to answer questions from The Associated Press about reported human rights violations in Xinjiang and referred to comments from the IOC.“Awarding the Olympic Games to a national Olympic committee does not mean that the IOC agrees with the political structure, social circumstances or human rights standards in the country,” the IOC said in a email to the AP.The IOC said it has “received assurances that the principles of the Olympic Charter will be respected in the context of the games.” It added it must remain “neutral on all global political issues.”The IOC included human rights requirements in the host city contract for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but it did not include those guidelines — the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights — for Beijing. Paris is the first Olympics to contain the standards, long pushed for by human rights groups.“NGOs, celebrities and other activist groups will put tremendous pressure on China in the run-up to the games calling for boycotts, etc.,” Victor Cha, a former White House adviser on Asia, said in an email to the AP. “I think the IOC would be very reluctant to take 2022 away from Beijing.”China is the host for the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, which involves even more athletes than the Summer Olympics.Athletes have shown their power in supporting Black Lives Matter protests in the United States and elsewhere. German soccer player Mesut Ozil, a Muslim with roots in Turkey, has spoken out against China and coined the phrase: “Muslim Lives Matter.” He has been critical that Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia and Malaysia have remained silent.Murray Hiebert, a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that such countries don’t want to jeopardize their economic ties with China, including the infrastructure investment they get.“Indonesia was very critical of Myanmar when it expelled some 750,000 Muslim Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh in late 2017 and early 2018, but officials have said little about the Uighur situation in China,” he said.The IOC is under pressure to revise a rule that prohibits political protests on the medal stand at the Olympics.Casey Wasserman, who heads the organizing committee for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, said he has written Bach and asked him to reform the rule. “I don’t believe anti-racist speech is political speech,” he said this month.Mary Harvey, the CEO of the Swiss-based Centre for Sport and Human Rights, said athletes protesting against racism and inequality in the United States should have the same rights in Beijing, or in Tokyo.But Lee Jones, who researches Asian politics at Queen Mary University of London, said athletes were unlikely to speak up. The Winter Olympics are much smaller than the Summer Games, with few Muslim athletes taking part.“Most sportsmen and women seem to want to separate sport and politics, unless they are directly implicated, like in athletic activism in the U.S.,” he wrote in an email.Jones said, though, that the growing criticism of China’s human rights record by foreign governments — notably the U.S. and some European countries — makes the situation potentially more serious for China than 2008, when the campaign was largely driven by Tibet activist groups.The campaign of U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden has backed the use of the term “genocide” for China’s actions in Xinjiang.He said boycotts are unlikely to change China’s behavior, but China might move if it sees its reputation damaged, particularly in Muslim-dominated countries.“China has reacted furiously to any suggestion that it is even mistreating the Uighur population, let alone committing genocide,” Jones said, “so it likely to react very negatively indeed if other governments start to lead a boycott campaign.”___More AP sports: https://apnews.com/apf-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports 6947

Chipotle introduced its queso cheese sauce to the nation on Tuesday after years of customers asking Chipotle to have the product. Although there was a lot of pomp and circumstance among Chipotle fans about adding queso, it appears Chipotle's queso was not a hit. Chipotle had said for years that it could not offer queso while meeting its food standards. But last week, after testing queso at a local level, Chipotle said that Tuesday would be the first day queso would be available nationwide. It appears based on social media comments that Chipotle's queso was a disappointment.   650

Child care centers across the country have suffered devastating financial losses this year. As scientists continue to look at how COVID-19 affects children, a new Yale University study offers insight into how the virus spreads at day cares."The notion of telling people for several months that COVID-19 is scary, that they have to stay at home in order to avoid it, and then telling child care providers to all of a sudden go back to work without knowing anything about the risks or, even worse, without even bothering to find out what the risk was," said Dr. Walter Gilliam, a child psychiatry and psychology professor at Yale University.Dr. Gilliam helped lead the recent study, which compared transmission rates at more than 57,000 day cares throughout the United States, with transmission rates Johns Hopkins University tracked in those day cares' communities. The study focused on adults only, since they are more likely to be tested and show symptoms."What we found in the end was that child care providers were no more likely to get COVID-19 or hospitalized for COVID-19 if they were open and attending the child care program, versus if they were closed or not. And what that tells us, that at least within the context of the first three months of the pandemic and within the context of all the things that child care programs were doing to keep children safe, transmission rates weren’t primarily being driven by child care programs," said Dr. Gilliam.Dr. Gilliam says child care facilities nationwide have been following disinfecting and cleaning protocols along with strict visitor policies."It's incredible what some of these child care providers were doing. We asked 36 different types of things that they might be doing in order to try and keep children safe and three-quarters of them were doing temperature checks and screening checks every single day. About one-third of them were doing it twice or more a day," said Dr. Gilliam.Dr. Gilliam says one crucial thing the facilities did was place children into cohorts, or small groups, and not mix large groups of children together. Something the YMCA of the USA says its centers are doing and has prevented them from having any COVID-19 outbreaks."It keeps our groups really tight and close together but also if we potentially have an exposure, there’s a small group that we need to work with in order to contact trace," said Heidi Brasher, Senior Director at YMCA of the USA.The YMCA isn't surprised with the Yale University study's results, saying day cares have always been laser-focused when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness with small children."I think it's one of the best things that we’ve done is increase security protocols when it comes to cleanliness, when it comes to temperature checks, when it comes to wellness checks for our staff. It has been one of the great indicators in how we can move through this pandemic time without major outbreaks in our programs," said Brasher.Dr. Gilliam says we need to be doing all we can to financially support our local child care facilities."The bottom-line of the study is that child care programs do not seem to pose a threat to communities in terms of transmission but that does not mean that communities do not pose a threat to child care," said Dr. Gilliam.And keeping COVID-19 rates down in communities will not only help child care providers, but ensure they are able to stay open once the pandemic is over. 3440

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) -- As a plume of smoke from a 350-acre blaze spiraled over the South Bay on Thursday night, Chula Vista’s City Council leaders met to review a report that signals a potentially dark cloud in its future.Members of the city’s Growth Management Oversight Commission presented its 2018 compliance scorecard that assesses how well Chula Vista is prepared to face the anticipated rapid growth trend across the county's second-largest city.According to the GMOC’s report for 2018, four service topics are considered “not in compliance” with the city’s threshold and at risk of continuing to be non-compliant in the future: Libraries, Police [Priority 1], Police [Priority 2], and Traffic.GMOC chair Duaine Hooker emphasized that police staffing levels is a major concern.The report shows there is not enough police staffing to adequately respond to both emergency calls and urgent calls, as well as the volume of calls, thus leading to slower response times.“It’s been twenty-two years in a row,” Hooker said about the police department’s failure to meet the threshold. Hooker also warned that he isn’t very optimistic about its 5- to 12-year plan.“They [police staff] did not think they could [accommodate] the growth of the city, it’s not there yet," Hooker said. Hooker and members of the GMOC toured the police department and surveyed officers.Councilmember Stephen C. Padilla, representing District 3, offered the most critical commentary on the rapid growth issues the city is facing."We know we're going to grow, and we know that we're constrained financially," said Padilla."We also know a scary statistic, and that is even with all the money from Measure A and even with reasonable growth we are a long ways off from getting even close to staffing up our public safety to the level, particularly on the police side, that it's going to make an impact," said Padilla."I just think we need to acknowledge that out loud," he added. Measure A is the half-cent tax approved by voters in 2018 to secure funding for additional officers and firefighters, provide faster responses to 9-1-1 emergency calls, and increase police patrols. A plan is in place to hire 43 officers over the next 10 years. So far, nine officers have been sworn in this year. 12 more "sworn and civilian staff" are budgeted in 2020. The current pace falls short of the GMOC's threshold and is way off of the county average. To get to the county average of 1.29 police officers per 1,000 residents by 2023, Chula Vista will have to hire 148 more officers.Padilla recommended to adopt a qualitative method of measuring the city's progress alongside the current GMOC standards.Mayor Mary Casillas Salas followed up Padilla's comments by highlighting Chula Vista's public safety record -- Chula Vista is listed among the safest cities in the state."A look back at the way we have been measuring things, I think an important component of that is outcomes, not just throwing numbers out there but the actual outcomes and what it means to the quality of life for our community," Salas said.The city's "rate of growth is projected to continue or increase over the next five years," the GMOC reported, citing Chula Vista’s 2018 Residential Growth Forecast. TRAFFIC ALSO A PROBLEM ON THE WESTSIDEChula Vista's growth and congestion issues don't only affect the sprawling Eastlake and Otay Ranch areas. Councilmember Jill Galvez, representing District 2, used her time at the special meeting to push for a revitalization on the west side of town."Can we start to look at focusing on improving the infrastructure in northwest Chula Vista to make it safer and more attractive so that we can enjoy the experience of our city," Galvez said. "Our neighbors to our east are enjoying their fields and you don't see them walking around because they have trails set far back from where you typically drive.""Here, we're all kind of using the pavement and even the streets to ride our bikes," Galvez said.Councilmember Mike Diaz, representing District 4, sided with a recommendation made earlier in the meeting that the GMOC report should be heard before the city's budget review process."I'm not sure how much it's going to move the needle one way or the other, but I think we at least need to hear this before budget.""It's going to be many many months before we start talking about [the GMOC report] again, and maybe we forget about those, so I certainly like to see that."Watch the meeting 4480
