China's first public real estate investment trusts (REITs) based on residential properties will be launched soon, as regulators step up efforts to channel fresh capital into the struggling real estate sector and aid a virus-hit economy. The launches will expand the investment scope of China's REITs, which have been based on infrastructure projects such toll ways, logistics centres and sewage plants. But Beijing has no plans yet to allow REITs to channel money into commercial properties such as office towers and shopping malls - common REIT assets globally.

STORY: “As the age-old saying goes, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at the National Rifle Association convention in Houston, Texas on Friday - just days after a teen gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in a south Texas school. He was among several high profile Republicans who decried demands for new gun control laws at the opening day of three-day event, calling instead for drastic changes in the country’s approach to mental health and for teachers to be trained to carry a gun on school grounds. “It would be so much better and so much more effective even from a cost standpoint, because there is no sign more inviting to a mass killer than a sign that declares a gun-free zone, the most dangerous place.” NRA CEO Wayne Lapierre doubled down on the argument that gun restrictions would do little to stop mass shootings. "We, the NRA, will never ever stop fighting for the right of the innocent and the law-abiding to defend themselves against the evil, criminal element that plagues our society." Outside the convention centre, about 500 protesters held signs and photos of victims from Tuesday’s school shooting. The deadly event, coming 10 days after a shooting in Buffalo, New York killed 10 people, has renewed many people’s anger at the NRA, the nation's biggest gun lobby and a major donor to Congress members, mostly Republicans. But the NRA's decision to go ahead with its largest annual gathering despite the tragedies is part of a decades-long strategy of standing up to pressure for gun control, dating back to the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado in 1999.
It is four years since their last clash on this grandest stage in Kiev, when Los Blancos claimed their third successive title on a dramatic night. Loris Karius, Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale all played big roles in that final, although the landscape has changed plenty since then. Barring an unexpected turnaround in Bale’s fortunes, none of those players will feature in Paris this evening.
Libya faces a serious security threat from foreign fighters and private military companies, especially Russia’s Wagner Group which has violated international law, U.N. experts said in a report obtained by The Associated Press. The experts also accused seven Libyan armed groups of systematically using unlawful detention to punish perceived opponents, ignoring international and domestic civil rights laws, including laws prohibiting torture. In particular, "migrants have been extremely vulnerable to human rights abuses and regularly subjected to acts of slavery, rape and torture,” the panel said in the report to the U.N. Security Council obtained late Friday by the AP.

Unbearably hot temperatures are already testing the limits of human survival, and will continue to rise, challenging our bodies' ability to cope and making parts of the world increasingly uninhabitable. Scientists say urgent steps are needed for humans to adapt to extreme heat, including rethinking the way we live, work and blast the AC. "Extreme heat is going to get more problematic going forward, period," said Professor Blair Feltmate, head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the Uni
