March 4 (Reuters) - The FIBA 3x3 [http://www.internetbillboards.net/?s=Olympic%20qualification Olympic qualification] tournament that was scheduled to take place in India later this month has been [http://www.guardian.co.uk/search?q=postponed postponed] due to concerns about the coronavirus, the governing body said on Wednesday. The International Basketball Federation said its decision to postpone the March 18-22 tournament in Bengaluru was made after careful consideration regarding the outbreak of the coronavirus. The event was set to include 40 teams - 20 for each gender - who would battle it out for six tickets to Tokyo 2020, where 3x3 basketball will make its Olympic debut. FIBA said it is working in close collaboration with the International Olympic Committee on the best solution possible since the event needs to occur before the April 24-26 FIBA 3x3 Universality Olympic Qualifier Tournament in Budapest. The governing body also said its 3x3 Asia Cups have been rescheduled with the May 13-17 competition in Changsha, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] China moved to September from May and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] the 3x3 Under 17 event in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, moved to October from June.

The coronavirus outbreak has prompted the cancellation or postponement of numerous major international sporting events and raised concerns about the Tokyo Olympics which is due to start on July 24.

Residents Fret As China apos;s Virus Exclusion Zone Widens

By David Stanway and Martin Pollard CHANGSHA, China, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Walking through the [http://www.homeclick.com/web/search/search.aspx?Ntt=drizzle drizzle] outside the railway station in the city of Changsha on Chinese New Year, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] local residents said it was only a matter of time before they became part of a lockdown aimed at containing China's most lethal new contagious disease since 2003. Changsha, home to 7 million people, remains on the outside of an ever-widening [http://www.traveldescribe.com/?s=exclusion%20zone exclusion zone] in central China as local governments try to stop the spread of a flu-like contagious disease that originated in the city of Wuhan about 355 km (220 miles) away and has already killed 42 people. More than 10 cities in Hubei province have already been shut down, and local residents in neighbouring Hunan - the home province of Mao Zedong - said they were resigned to the possibility that they would also be sealed off in the next few days. "My first concern is for myself. I'm worried that the virus may infect me. I'm also worried about people in Hubei," said Wang Junnan, a 23-year-old aviation safety officer from the city of Zhuzhou, about an hour from Changsha. Nearly all cities in Hubei to the north cut transport links over the past two days after the provincial capital Wuhan, a city of 11 million where the outbreak started, imposed a lock-down. "There isn't much I can do. All I can do is have the mask on whenever I can," Wang said. "You can hardly find masks to buy at this moment." One pharmacy nearby had almost sold out, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] with the shop assistant saying they only had one "cheaper, less effective" mask left. More than 1,300 people have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] traced to a Wuhan seafood market illegally selling wildlife. The vast majority of cases have been in Hubei province. Reuters journalists were briefly stuck in the city of Xianning, which neighbours Wuhan, when the city closed transport links on Friday night, the eve of the Lunar New Year. The departures board at the city's railway station was blank, the ticket kiosk staffed by two women who said they could not sell tickets. But local authorities in Hubei and neighbouring Hunan do not yet appear to have developed a properly coordinated response to the crisis, with most cities choosing to try to seal their borders at all costs. Xianning police urged Reuters journalists to head south to the city of Yueyang, which lies across the provincial border in Hunan, but Yueyang was sealed off by another police roadblock and dozens of cars trying to leave Hubei province were also forced to turn back. However, in the early hours of Saturday morning, the route into Changsha, another 200 kilometres (125 miles) south, remained unblocked. Residents said they expected tougher measures soon, as cities, transportation operators and businesses across China extended closures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. "I saw in the newspaper that someone was caught earlier today trying to leave Hubei and get to Hunan using the Didi application and they should be arrested," said Wang. "These measures are difficult, but they are necessary," said Wang. Hotel staff in Changsha also told Reuters they had received instructions not to allow anyone from Hubei province to book rooms. Peng Aihua, a 71-year old Buddhist nun walking outside Changsha train station, remained phlegmatic, even though the disease has spread panic through the country. "Why would death scare me?" she said. "I haven't reached my time to die yet." (Reporting by David Stanway and Martin Pollard in Changsha; Writing by Tony Munroe; Editing by Sandra Maler)

Pollution Concerns Grow Alongside Economy In China

Over the past few years, growing environmental [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=pressure pressure] in China has forced the country to finally look into such issues as people residing near heavy industrial clusters continue to suffer from air, water and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] soil contamination. At the ninth "Science and Technological Week" held by the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology earlier this month, Wang Xiwen, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a lecture about the seriousness of food security in China. According to Wang, heavy metal pollution is currently endangering some 300 million acres of farmland across China, equal to roughly one-sixth of all cropland in the country. Only 11 percent of farmland in Guangdong Province is considered to be free from contamination. "The pollution in coastal regions is much heavier," Wang said. "The metals mercury, cadmium and copper are the main contaminants. Now the heavy metal contamination is growing in the same speed as our economic development, which means the more our country is developed, the more dangerous our environment will be, especially in the Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Liaoning provinces. In addition, the soil pollution in some inland provinces has been spreading gradually, for example, the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan) city cluster in Hunan Province is the most advanced area in terms of economic development in the province, while the area appears to have the most severe soil contamination as well." Statistics show that in Guangdong Province 89 percent of the farmland has already been contaminated, with 77 percent considered lightly contaminated and 12 percent classified as heavily polluted. The soil contamination in the lower Pearl River Delta area is a result of frequent industrial activities, while the pollution in northern Guangdong Province has been caused mainly by mining activities. Huge amounts of heavy metals flow into rivers and lakes in the process of washing mineral ore. In Hunan Province, the Research and Development Department of the local National Land and Resources Bureau has tracked the health records of some 70,000 individuals over the last 25 years. The records show that the number of people who suffer from osteocarcinoma (known as bone cancer) and other bone diseases such as osteoporosis have gone up. In the severely contaminated Zhuzhou City, it was discovered that the cadmium content of local residents was two to five times higher than normal. China's Hetao District is a region in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Northwestern China that includes the Yinchuan Plain, the Ordos Plateau, as well as the Loess Plateau and forms parts of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia. The region has been known for its low quality underground water with high arsenic and fluorine content. There are 300,000 people facing the risk of arsenic poisoning, while 2,000 people have already been contaminated in the region, reports said. In Wuyuan County of Bayannur, a city in western Inner Mongolia, cancer has become the leading cause of mortality. There's also an area between Horinger County and Togtoh County - both of which are under jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolian capital city Hohhot - where the underground water is contaminated heavily by fluorine. Many villagers in the region have darkened teeth and suffer from various bone diseases. Horinger County is best known for the Mengniu Diary Company - one of China's main dairy manufacturers. Around one of the mines of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group, a state-owned steel company in Inner Mongolia, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] some villagers and their livestock are endangered because of the [http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=heavily%20polluted heavily polluted] land which is contaminating the crops.
