It's time for current affairs critic Hyun-Jun Go's news.

Today (26th), let’s deliver the first news.



<Ko Hyun-Jun/Current Critic> This



is a story told in China.

Recently, in Sichuan, China, there was an explosion in which heavy manhole covers were soaring into the sky, due to firecrackers that a child put in as a joke.



This is a square in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, China on the 22nd.

Several manhole covers soar into the air with a'pop' sound.




White smoke covers the roads, and pedestrians hurry to evacuate.



If you look closely at the video, a boy dressed in white inserts something through a hole in a manhole cover.



Then he hurriedly evacuated, and suddenly an explosion occurred.



What the child put into the sewer was a firecracker that was lit, which caused an explosion when the firecracker flame met with the methane gas released from the sewer.



In China, similar firecracker accidents are repeated year by year, and because of the belief that they chase ghosts and bring good luck, these firecracker accidents are constantly occurring all over the country around the Chinese New Year, the biggest holiday.



<Anchor> It



is said that 9 people lost their lives in this firecracker accident last year alone, and there are many accidents related to firecrackers, but air pollution-related issues are also being raised.

It is said that the Chinese government is taking measures such as the real-name firecracker system and banning the sale of firecrackers, but we must see what this year will look like.

Please tell me the second news.

This is a video posted on social media last month by a Russian with 4.9 million social media followers.




A man carries a woman in a swimsuit on the back, drives a motorcycle as if performing a trick, and then jumps into the sea.



Residents accused the Russians of being guilty of violating customs and polluting the sea.



Bali police prosecuted the man for violating environmental laws and decided to deport him.The man was recently confirmed to have held a party with more than 50 people at a resort, so charges of violating the COVID-19 quarantine guidelines were also added.



The man in question explained that his actions were part of a philanthropy to help children, but there are many reactions that, whatever the purpose, the actions cannot be justified.
