Banned from the Olympics by IOC, NKorea puts blame elsewhere

Beijing will host the Winter Olympics in a month's time, making it the world's first dual Olympic city having hosted both the Summer and Winter games. IOC President Thomas Bach said at the time that individual athletes from North Korea who qualify to compete in Beijing could still be accepted. On Wednesday, North Korea conducted what it called a hypersonic missile test in its first weapons test in two months. North Korea has maintained one of the world’s toughest restrictions to guard against COVID-19, including two years of border shutdowns. China has called the U.S. action an “outright political provocation.”___More AP Winter Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/winter-olympics and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsCopyright 2022 The Associated Press.

Beijing Olympics open in 4 months; human rights talk absent

China Olympics Beijing Up Next Residents wearing masks pass by a countdown clock for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games at the Wangfujing retail street in Beijing Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021. When the International Olympic Committee awarded Beijing the 2008 Summer Olympics, it said the Games would improve human rights and civil liberties in China. There is no such lofty talk this time with Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympics — the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Games — opening in just four months on Feb. 4. Beijing landed the 2008 Games after a long pursuit — its poor rights record helped end its bid for the 2000 Olympics. “Although Xi was in charge of 2008 Olympic Games, these Winter Games are truly Xi’s Games,” Xu wrote.

Stanley Steemer is dedicated to helping local shelter pets and you can help too! Get Involved!

ORLANDO, Fla. — Summer is always a time of greater need for Central Florida’s homeless animals. And this summer, because of the coronavirus pandemic, the animals need your help more than ever. That is why our WFTV 9 Family Connection partner Stanley Steemer of Central Florida has teamed up with Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando to help raise awareness of fostering, adopting and encouraging donations to help these homeless pets. And adoption events have been canceled, meaning more animals need to remain here with us, waiting longer to find their forever homes. If that's through fostering kittens we find wandering the streets, adopting, or donating directly to the cause.

A study by auto club group AAA has found that despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of millions of Americans will hit the roads and take to the skies this summer.
