[WSJ] China Shores Up Ties With Africa Despite Slowing Economy and Friction Over Debt
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is using a three-day summit with African leaders this week to solidify political and economic ties with the continent, despite tensions over debt, several years of declining financing and broader concerns over China’s economy.
China has cast itself as a champion of developing countries, emphasizing the stability of its commitment and promoting its ideas of modernization, security and international relations. It has also sought African nations’ support for internationally contentious issues such as the status of Taiwan.
Xi said China is heeding these demands and told Ramaphosa that Beijing would accelerate its vocational training programs and offer more scholarships to South African students.
[WSJ] Why Criminals Flock to Telegram
Telegram, part social network, part messaging app, is easy to use. The platform says it has never disclosed user data to any third party.
French judicial authorities charged Durov with complicity in distributing child pornography, illegal drugs and hacking software on the app, which says it has almost one billion users. Authorities also charged him with refusing to cooperate with investigations into illegal activity on Telegram.
The IWF said it has found that newer websites selling child abuse material almost all direct people to Telegram to exchange financial details and make transactions. In talks with Telegram, the IWF has encouraged the company to become a member, which would give Telegram access to its vast database of tagged abuse images to stop offenders from sharing them further.

[NYT] Legal Actions Seek Guarantee of Abortion Access for Patients in Medical Emergencies
With 14 states to date enacting laws that outlaw most abortions, some abortion rights advocacy groups are focusing on cases involving patients with desired pregnancies that developed serious complications or abnormalities. The cases don’t seek to strike down the bans but instead to gain legal clarity ensuring that patients in these situations should be exempt from state abortion bans.
The groups argue that the vague wording in the laws and the widespread confusion and fear among doctors that they could be prosecuted or penalized has resulted in the denial of care, with sometimes dire consequences to patients’ health or ability to become pregnant in the future.
[NYT] The Billionaires Spending a Fortune to Lure Scientists Away From Universities
“It used to be that it was considered a failure to go from academia to industry,” said Dr. Joung, a pathologist who helped design the gene-editing tool CRISPR. “Now the model has flipped.” The motivation behind Arena has scientific, financial and even emotional components.
Over the subsequent months, those early backers teamed up with a Boston venture capitalist and trained medical doctor, Thomas Cahill, to devise a plan. Dr. Cahill said he would help find frustrated academics willing to give up their hard-fought university tenure, as well as scientists from companies like Pfizer, in exchange for a hefty cut of the profits from any drugs they discovered. Arena’s billionaire backers will keep 30 percent, with the remainder flowing to scientists and for overhead.
Stuart Schreiber, a longtime Harvard-affiliated researcher who quit to be Arena’s lead scientist, said his more out-there ideas rarely received backing. “It got to the point where I realized the only way to get funding was to apply to study something that had already been done,” Dr. Schreiber said.

[WP] Baltimore bridge collapse could wipe out emergency federal highway fund
Maryland and Baltimore may jump ahead of states that have waited more than a decade for emergency highway funding, as the federal government swoops in with aid after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The Federal Highway Administration’s emergency relief fund, which reimburses states for expenses to repair or reconstruct roadways after disasters, has a $2.1 billion backlog of projects and only $890 million on hand, according to data obtained by The Washington Post.
Puerto Rico has not been reimbursed for $257 million in highways damage from Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. Tennessee is entitled to $61.8 million after severe storms, floods and landslides in 2019.
After this story was published, a spokesperson for the Federal Highway Administration wrote in an emailed statement said that states were not “waiting” for funding, and rather would request resources from the fund “when they are ready to proceed” with emergency response work.
“When Maryland requires funds for the Francis Scott Key Bridge event, they will submit a request to FHWA similar to all other states that are ready to proceed with work associated with [emergency relief] events,” the statement said. “Maryland’s request will be funded along with all other requests nationwide.”
