Daniel Thompson, 48, had been working as an English teacher in Jinan, a city in eastern China, since October 2019. He said police found his visa had expired last month and he was jailed for a week at a “mountain prison.” Thompson says he was locked up along with people who had been jailed for gambling offenses.

The changes open the door for business to weigh-in on decisions over whether to list a species as endangered and could make it easier for expert voices to be silenced when consultations are held over how industrial and infrastructure projects could affect threatened animals, critics say....

South Africa restricted World Twenty20 champions England to just 118 for seven in the first Twenty20 international at Chester-le-Street on Saturday. Spin bowling, long regarded as the weakest part of the Proteas’ game, accounted for four wickets with off-break bowler Johan Botha (two for 19) and left-armer Robin Peterson (two for 27), who took the new ball, doing damage. Meanwhile ever reliable fast bowler Dale Steyn took one for 13 in his maximum four overs after captain AB de Villiers won the toss, with the Proteas’ attack carrying on from where they left off in their series levelling seven-wicket win in Wednesday’s fifth one-day international at Trent Bridge....

England have been dealt an injury scare with Jason Roy being a doubtful starter thanks to a finger injury he sustained at Lord’s and while Sam Billings has been roped in as cover for him, the hosts will want their regular opener fit and ready for the important game on Tuesday.

Here are the top 5 reasons why India can win 2018 ODI and T20 Series in England. #1 Solid opening combination Since 2013, when Dhawan and Rohit started opening the batting for India in limited overs format, they have established themselves as India’s first choice opening combination in coloured clothes....

First we’ll get into Enslaved. Enslaved’s main protagonist goes by the name Monkey, but he has a partner, a girl named Trip, following him around. They must both work together to escape from the evil robots that are holding them captive, and return to Trip’s village. The game’s story is actually based off of an ancient Chinese novel called “Journey to the West”, which is the same novel that inspired Dragon Ball Z, but while Monkey likely won’t be shooting off any kamehameha we should still be in for a fun time when the game finally hits store shelves this October 5th....
