China's 3rd batch of emergency relief supplies arrives in mudslide-hit Nepal

A third batch of emergency relief supplies from China arrived in mudslide-hit Nepal on Thursday afternoon.

A Y-20 transport aircraft carrying the relief supplies landed at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

The shipment includes morgue freezers, epidemic-prevention materials, daily necessities, and other items urgently needed in Nepal.

The relief supplies also include Bailey bridges for disaster relief, though the installation equipment for the bridges has been transported separately by road to the China-Nepal border port.

Ten Chinese forensic identification experts arrived on the same flight and will assist Nepalese authorities in advancing victim identification efforts.

Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Zhang Maoming and Nepal's Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Mahabir Pun attended the handover ceremony and welcomed the expert team.

A giant panda cub born this year is testing its reach -- and its teeth -- at a breeding center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Footage filmed on Aug 13 and Aug 18 at the Sunshine Delivery House for Giant Pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding shows the cub rising on its hind legs. It props its chin on a window ledge before reaching for and gnawing at a short strip of wood on the slatted wall.

In another sequence, the cub rolls upright, curls into a ball, and then stretches out again on the floor.

The Chengdu base is a world-renowned facility for ex-situ conservation, research, and breeding of giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wildlife native to China. It also runs public education and eco-tourism programs.
