一 | (ECNS) -- A minibus driver in central China’s Hubei Province brought his vehicle to an emergency stop moments before rocks and broken bamboo suddenly crashed onto the road ahead, as he heroically kept all five passengers on board safe. Xiong Fei was driving along National Highway 318 in Changyang, Hubei Province, during persistent heavy rain when he noticed bamboo on a roadside slope swaying unusually. Drawing on years of experience driving in mountainous areas, he suspected the slope was becoming unstable and immediately stopped the minibus. “I saw the bamboo on the slope swaying violently and immediately sensed that a collapse might happen,” Xiong recalled. Moments after the vehicle stopped, rocks and broken bamboo tumbled down the slope, covering the road directly ahead. After confirming the danger, Xiong instructed vehicles behind him to reverse to an open area and reported the incident to the local village committee. He then moved the minibus and its passengers to a safe location while waiting for assistance. Local authorities later cordoned off both sides of the landslide area, while road and public security departments implemented traffic controls and cleared the debris. Machinery was deployed to remove the fallen material, and the road was later reopened.

The bill will now go to the upper house, the Federation Council, which will consider it next week. Federation Council lawmakers have already said they will support the bill. The legislation was introduced to parliament following a statement from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned earlier this month that Moscow could revoke its 2000 decision to ratify the treaty to “mirror” the stand taken by the United States, which has signed but not ratified the nuclear test ban.The treaty, adopted in 1996, bans all nuclear explosions anywhere in the world, although it has never fully entered into force. In addition to the U.S., it is yet to be ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran and Egypt.There are widespread concerns that Russia could resume nuclear tests to try to discourage the West from offering military support to Ukraine. Many Russian hawks have spoken in favor of a resumption.Putin has said that while some experts have talked about the need to conduct nuclear tests, he hasn’t yet formed an opinion on the issue.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said last week that Moscow will continue to respect the ban and will only resume nuclear tests if Washington does so first.。
