China flight safety in spotlight after pilot jumps to death over workplace dispute
A failed pilot evaluation that ended with a China Southern Airlines captain stabbing two of his colleagues before jumping to his death in Changchun in the northeast Chinese province of Jilin on Tuesday has renewed public worries about flight safety The pilot, surnamed Li, 31, died after jumping out of a window, according to a report released on Wednesday by the Erdao district branch of the Changchun Public Security Bureau. His colleagues were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the report said, adding that an investigation was continuing. Citing a person with knowledge of the incident, Guizhou Radio and TV Station (GZTV) reported that Li, a pilot with the company's Jilin branch, had recently failed an evaluation and was not qualified to fly. During a conversation with his superiors about the appraisal, Li attacked the flight department's party committee secretary and a department manager, the insider said. He then smashed a window on the 15th floor of the building and jumped to his death. GZTV reported that the company evaluation determined that Li had a 'lack of understanding of rules and procedures' such as communication failure procedures and the cockpit door electronic lock password, citing an internal report provided by another insider. The source said the internal report had recommended Li undergo 'systematic and comprehensive training' of the flight crew operating manual followed by a comprehensive 'theoretical verification' conducted by the airline's Jilin branch before Li could have his flight qualifications restored.

2 men and mum jailed for up to 16 years after Hong Kong girls sexually assaulted
A Hong Kong court has handed down jail sentences of up to 16 years to two men for sexually exploiting two girls when the defendants separately had a relationship with the victims' mother six to eight years ago. The High Court on Wednesday also sentenced the mother to four years for child cruelty, including locking the girls in a pitch-black bathroom for hours, and hindering a police investigation after the crimes came to light in April 2023. The two male defendants, former computer technician Quan Zhiming, 53, and retired security guard Li Kam-fai, 71, were slammed for their 'serious breach of trust' by assaulting the two minors on 18 occasions between 2017 and 2019. Quan, from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in mainland China, was given the heaviest sentence of 16 years for four counts of unlawful sex with a girl under 13 and six of indecent assault. Li was jailed for four years on eight counts of indecent assault. The 49-year-old mother, only identified in court by her initials ND, was jailed on seven counts of child cruelty and one of perverting the course of justice.
