| China targets US senators in retaliation for Uighurs sanctions |
| Mon, 13 Jul 2020 05:00:10 -0400 |
 China announced on Monday retaliatory sanctions against three senior Republican lawmakers and a US envoy in a deepening row over Beijing's treatment of Uighurs in the western Xinjiang region. Some of the most outspoken critics of China - Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz along with Congressman Chris Smith - were targeted by the action, as well as the US ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, Sam Brownback. The unspecified "corresponding sanctions" were announced days after the US imposed visa bans and asset freezes on several Chinese officials, including the Communist Party chief in Xinjiang, Chen Quanguo, over rights abuses in the region. The move was "in response to the US's wrong actions", foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said at a regular briefing. "We urge the US to immediately withdraw its wrong decision, and stop words and actions that interfere in China's internal affairs and harm China's interests," she said. "China will make a further response depending on the development of the situation." Sanctions will also be applied on the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China, an agency that monitors human rights in the Asian country.

Tarrant’s defense team, lawyers Shane Tait and Jonathan Hudson, applied during Monday’s hearing for permission to withdraw as his counsel, a role they have filled since April 2019.

| Hamburg sex workers demand Germany's brothels reopen |
| Sun, 12 Jul 2020 06:01:27 -0400 |
 Prostitutes demonstrated in Hamburg's red light district late on Saturday evening demanding that Germany's brothels be allowed to reopen after months of closure to curb the spread of coronavirus. With shops, restaurants and bars all open again in Germany, where prostitution is legal, sex workers say they are being singled out and deprived of their livelihoods despite not posing a greater health risk. "The oldest profession needs your help," read a notice held up by one woman in a brothel window in the Herbertstrasse, which was flooded with red light after being dark since March.
