Mehel oli plaanis 20-aastane naine tumeveebis ehk krüpteeritud internetis oksjonile panna, teatas Guardian.

The man was planning to auction off the 20-year-old woman on the dark Web – the encrypted Internet, the Guardian reported.


Politsei teatel meelitati naine 11. juuliks Milanosse lubadusega, et ta saab tööd fotosessioonil.

The police say the woman was lured to Milan on 11 July with the promise of work on a photo shoot.


Selle asemel ta uimastati ja viidi Torino lähedal asuvasse villasse.

Instead, she was drugged and taken to a villa near Turin.


Väidetavalt üritasid vangistajad naist tumeveebis 230 000 naela eest maha müüa ning esitasid tema modelliagentuurile lunarahanõude.

Allegedly her captors tried to sell her on the dark web for 230,000 pounds and sent a ransom note to her modelling agency.


Naise vangistaja viis ta 17. juulil siiski Briti konsulaati.

The woman’s captor took her to the British consulate on 17 July, however.


Politsei kinnitusel on kahtlusalune Poola kodanik Lukasz Herba, kes elab Suurbritannias.

Police say the suspect is Polish citizen Lukasz Herba, who lives in Britain.


Ajalehe Corriere della Sera väitel avastas mees, et röövitud naisel on väike laps ega soovinud teda seksiorjaks müüa.

The newspaper Corriere della Sera said the man found out the woman had a small child and did not want to sell her as a sex slave.


Osakonna prohmaka tulemusel avaldati hoolealuste haavatavate laste delikaatsed andmed

Sensitive details of vulnerable children in care released in department bungle


Teabega seotud murettekitava rikkumise tulemusel saadeti ühe lapse emale ekslikult hoolealuste laste isiklikud andmed, sh teave selle kohta, kas nad on seksuaalselt aktiivsed.

The personal details of children in care, including whether they were sexually active, was accidentally sent to the mother of one of the children in a troubling information breach.


Emale saadeti e-postiga tabel, mis sisaldas kõigi Victoria linnas tegutseva suure teenusepakkuja hoole all olevate laste nimesid, sünnikuupäevi, asukohti ning nendega seotud konkreetseid muresid ja tähelepanu nõudvaid kohti.

A spreadsheet was emailed to the mother outlining the name, birthdate, location, and specific concerns and alerts relating to all children in the care of a large service provider in a regional Victorian city.


The email revealed where each child was staying.


Nimekirjas on välja toodud, et üks 13-aastane poiss on vabastatud kautsjoni vastu ja tema puhul avaldub seksuaalne käitumine, et üks 15-aastane tüdruk, kellel on probleeme enesevigastamise, teatavate ainete kuritarvitamise ja ärajooksmisega, on "poiss-sõbraga väljas" ning "ei naase täna õhtul", ja et üks 14-aastane poiss vajab abi "enda eest hoolitsemisega" ning on verbaalselt agressiivne ja füüsiliselt ähvardav.

A 13-year-old boy is listed as being on bail and displaying sexualised behaviours, a 15-year-old girl who has issues with self-harm, substance abuse, and absconding is "out with the boyfriend" and "will not be returning tonight," and a 14-year-old boy is noted as needing help with "self-care" and being verbally abusive and physically threatening.


Tabel näib olevat üleandmisdokument, mis oli mõeldud saatmiseks öise vahetuse järelevaatajale.

The spreadsheet appears to be a handover document which was meant to have been sent to an overnight supervisor.


Dokument sisaldab märkmeid selle kohta, millal on mõnda last koju oodata või kas nad võivad võtta endale järeletulemiseks ühendust personaliga.

It contains notes about when some children are expected home, or whether they are likely to contact staff to be picked up.


Mõne lapse kohta on esitatud murettekitavalt palju üksikasju.

There are concerning levels of detail about some children.


15-aastase poisi kohta on kirjutatud hoiatavalt: "Kui personal võtab ühendust, et saada luba toa läbiotsimiseks ja/või sülearvuti/USB-seadme läbivaatamiseks ebasobiliku seksuaalse materjali kahtluse tõttu, tuleb see luba anda."

"If staff contact to request permission to conduct a room search or laptop/USB search, given concerns in regards to inappropriate sexual material, permission to be granted," the alert for a 15-year-old boy reads.


Dokument annab ühtlasi teada, et 17-aastase tüdruku, kes saab kõigest kolme kuu pärast 18 ja vabastatakse hoolekandeasutusest, puhul on enesetapukatse oht niivõrd suur, et personal peab tema põgenemise korral kohe hädaabiliinile helistama.

The document also shows that a 17-year-old girl who is only three months from turning 18 and being released from residential care was considered to be such a high risk of attempting suicide that staff had to call triple zero immediately if she absconded.


16-aastase tingimisi vabastatud poisi kohta oli märgitud, et ta on väljas ja "võtab personaliga hiljem ühendust, et talle järele mindaks".

A 16-year-old boy on parole is listed as out, and that he will "contact staff to be picked up later on tonight."


Kuigi loetletud asukohtade puhul on mainitud ainult majutusüksuse nime, kus lapsi hoitakse, ja mitte nende aadresse, on üksikasju siiski piisavalt palju, et neid oleks võimalik leida.

While the locations listed only mention the name of the housing unit where the children are being held, and not the address of the unit, there is enough detail for it to be found.


2015. aasta andmeleke tuli välja, kui ema jagas Fairfax Mediaga oma kogemusi tervishoiu- ja teenindusministeeriumi ning lastekaitsega suhtlemisel alates tema tütre hoole alla võtmisest neli aastat tagasi.

Details of the 2015 breach emerged as the mother shared with Fairfax Media her experiences of dealing with the Department of Health and Human Services and child protection services since her daughter was taken into care four years ago.


Ta nõustus jagama oma muresid nüüd, mil tema tütar oli saanud 18 ja lahkunud süsteemist.

She agreed to share her concerns now that her daughter has turned 18 and left the system.


Südantlõhestav otsus anda oma tütar üle lastekaitsele sai langetatud pärast vägivaldset vahejuhtumit kodus. See juhtum on üks aina rohkematest perevägivallaga seotud kaebustest, mille vanemad esitavad oma laste vastu.

The heart-wrenching decision to turn her daughter over to child protection came after a violent incident at home, one of a growing number of family violence complaints being made by parents against their children.


Sellel olid murettekitavad tagajärjed, mida ema ei oleks osanud kunagi ette näha. Näiteks suutis ta tütar saada kuue kuu jooksul pärast kodust lahkumist seitse kriminaalsüüdistust, ta koliti sadade kilomeetrite kaugusele kodusse ja olustikku, kus ta näis edukalt toime tulevat, kuid seejärel koliti ta tagasi ilma vanemaid teavitamata, lisaks aktsepteerisid ja hõlbustasid tema tütre eest hoolitsejad kaht tema tütre ja vanema mehe vahelist suhet.

It had troubling consequences the mother could have never imagined, such as her daughter racking up seven criminal charges within six months of leaving home, being moved hundreds of kilometres away, to a home and situation she appeared to thrive in, but then being moved back again without her parents being told, and the acceptance and facilitation by her daughter's carers of two relationships her daughter had with older men.


Suhe esimesega neist poiss-sõpradest, 17-aastasega, kellega hoolekandeasutused lubasid naise tol ajal 15-aastasel tütrel regulaarselt kohalikus hotellis viibida, lõppes siis, kui noormehele esitati mõni päev pärast 18-aastaseks saamist selle suhte tõttu süüdistus lapsega seksuaalsuhtesse astumises.

The first of these boyfriends, a 17-year-old who her then 15-year-old daughter had regularly been allowed by care agencies to stay with in a local hotel, ended when he was charged within days of his 18th birthday with child sex offences because of the relationship.


"Miks ta väljus süsteemist hullemas olukorras, kui sinna sisenedes?" küsib ema.

"Why was she left worse off than when she went in?" the mother said.


"Ja kas see juhtub kõigi hoolealuste lastega?"

"And is this what happens to every child in care?"


Ta pooldab häälekalt sellise asutuse loomist, mis võimaldaks tervishoiu- ja teenindusministeeriumil lapsi esimeste nädalate jooksul pärast nende hoole alla võtmist jälgida, enne kui nad kodudesse kolitakse.

She is a particularly strong advocate for the establishment of a facility which allows DHHS to monitor children for the first few weeks of them being taken into care, before they are moved into residential homes.


See võimaldaks neil paremini mõista, kuidas lapsed teistega suhtlevad ning millised on nendega seotud ohud ja nende vajadused, seda eriti hariduslikult.

This would allow them to better understand how they interact with others, their risks and their needs, particularly in relation to education.


Osariigi valitsus otsib uusi viise, kuidas vähendada laste kodusesse hoolekandesse paigutamise vajadust, püüdes muu hulgas toetada paremini nende vanemaid.

The state government is looking at new ways to divert children away from residential care, including by better supporting their parents.


Kindla suunitlusega abipakettide, mida rahastatakse nelja aasta jooksul 62 miljoni dollariga, eesmärk on aidata siirdada lapsi kodusest hoolekandest parema korraldusega olukordadesse.

Targeted care packages, funded with $62 million over four years, aim to help transition children from residential care to better arrangements.


Lisaks võimaldab 5,6 miljoni dollarine kaheaastane eksperiment, mis avalikustati eelmine oktoober, pakkuda professionaalseid hooldajaid vähemalt 28 lapsele, et aidata neil hoolekandest väljuda või vältida sellesse sattumist.

And a $5.6 million, two-year trial announced last October will provide professional foster carers to at least 28 children, helping them to transition from or avoid entering care.


Osakonna esindaja sõnul ei teatatud teabelekkest ametlikult, kui see juhtus, kuigi ema väidab, et teavitas kaht osakonna töötajat mõne kuu jooksul pärast intsidenti.

A department spokesman said the information breach was not formally reported at the time, although the mother claims she told two department employees within months of it occurring.


Osakond teeb nüüd koostööd teenusepakkujaga, et juhtumit analüüsida.

The department is now working with the service provider to address the incident.


"Iga väidetavat privaatsete andmete leket võetakse väga tõsiselt. Teeme tööd, tagamaks, et see ei ole asjassepuutuvatele noortele negatiivselt mõjunud."

"Any claim of a privacy breach is taken very seriously ... we will work to ensure there has been no negative impact on the young people involved."


Eelmise aasta juulis tellis perede ja laste minister Jenny Mikakos viieaastase perioodi vältel toimunud lastekaitse privaatsusintsidentide valimi sõltumatu ülevaatuse.

In July last year, Minister for Families and Children, Jenny Mikakos, commissioned an independent review of a sample of child protection privacy incidents over a five-year period.


Osakond nõustus selle tulemusel esitatud seitsme soovitusega ja on pärast seda lastekaitsejuhendit uuendanud, tagamaks, et personal mõistab selgelt oma rolle ja privaatsusega seotud toiminguid, muutnud IT-süsteeme, et keelata teatud isikuandmete automaatne koondamine, ja vaadanud ametlikult üle osakonna privaatsusega seotud talitlused.

The department accepted its seven recommendations, and has since updated the child protection manual to ensure staff are clear about their roles and procedures in relation to privacy, changed IT systems to remove the automatic population of some personal details, and formally reviewed the department's privacy functions.


Senat kinnitas Woody Johnsoni, New York Jetsi omaniku suursaadikuks Suurbritannias

Woody Johnson, the New York Jets owner, confirmed by Senate as UK ambassador


Johnson oli presidendikampaania ajal Trumpi suurim rahaline toetaja ja nimetati novembris tema inauguratsioonikomitee finantsjuhiks.

Mr Johnson was a top donor to Mr Trump during the presidential campaign, and was named in November as finance chair of his inaugural committee.


Pikaajaline vabariiklasest annetaja Johnson aitas koguda raha ka George W. Bushi, John McCaini ja Mitt Romney jaoks, kui nemad olid partei kandidaadid.

A long-time Republican donor, Mr Johnson helped raise money for George W Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney when they were the party's nominees.


Ta tegutses 2016. aasta kampaania ajal varem Jeb Bushi finantsjuhina.

He served as finance chairman for Jeb Bush earlier in the 2016 campaign.


Johnsoni vanavanaisa pani aluse meditsiinitarvikuid tootvale ettevõttele Johnson & Johnson.

Mr Johnson's great grandfather founded Johnson & Johnson, the medical supplies manufacturer.


Varem oli Ameerika Ühendriikide suursaadik Suurbritannias Matthew Barzun.

Matthew Barzun was the previous US ambassador to the UK.


Barzuni määras aastal 2013 ametisse Barack Obama ja ta astus oma ametikohalt tagasi selle aasta jaanuaris enne Trumpi ametisse vannutamist.

He was appointed in 2013 by Barack Obama and stepped down in January this year, before Mr Trump's inauguration.


Cambridgei hertsoginna lapsepõlvesõbral oleks pidanud olema "õigus surra"

Duchess of Cambridge's childhood friend should have had 'right to die'


Cambridgei hertsoginna surmavat haigust põdeval lapsepõlvesõbral oleks pidanud olema tema ema sõnul lubatud oma elu lõpetada.

A terminally-ill childhood friend of the Duchess of Cambridge should have been allowed to take her own life, her mother has said.


Isobel Kennerley, kes oli hertsoginna gaidigrupi liige, anus pärast kolme aasta pikkust võitlust ajukasvajaga, mis põhjustas talle "äärmist valu, kannatusi ja väärikuse kaotust", et tal lubataks surra.

Isobel Kennerley, who was a member of the Duchess's Brownie pack, had begged to be allowed to die after a three-year battle with a brain tumour that left her with "the utmost pain, distress and loss of dignity."


34-aastasel laste tserebraalparalüüsi põdenud naisel diagnoositi ajukasvaja aastal 2014, kuid ta kannatas oma ema sõnul kohutavalt, enne kui ta mais lõpuks suri.

The 34-year-old, who had cerebral palsy, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2014 but suffered horrifically before she eventually died in May, her mother has said.


Christine Eeley, 65, Newburyst Berksist on esitanud üleskutse muuta seadust, mis võimaldaks surmavat haigust põdevatel ja vaimselt kompetentsetel inimestel oma surma "viisi ja ajastust kontrollida".

Christine Eeley, 65, from Newbury, Berks, has called for a change in the law to enable terminally-ill and mentally competent people to be able to "control the manner and the timing" of their deaths.


Ta ütles, et tütre piinarikas surm tekitas temas "tõsise trauma", ja soovis, et seadus oleks lubanud tal panna paika plaani, mis oleks võimaldanud ta tütrel väärikalt surra, kui tema seisund halvenes.

She said she had been left "traumatised" by her daughter's painful death and wished the law had allowed her to put a plan in place that would have enabled her daughter to die with dignity when her condition deteriorated.


Inglise autor avaldab raamatu tagalogi keeles

English author publishes book in Tagalog


"A Helping Hand" on Michaelsi, BBC endise toimetaja ja kahe lapse ema esimene raamat. Varem on ta kirjutanud ajakirjale Singapore Tatler.

A Helping Hand is the first book from Ms Michaels, a former BBC editor and mother-of-two, who has previously written for Singapore Tatler.


Raamatu lõpetamiseks kulus kolm aastat ja see on pühendatud tema filipiinlastest abilistele Maricon Espiritule ja Ginalyn Naragile, kes aitavad toiduvalmistamise ning poja, nelja-aastase Josephi, ja tütre, kaheksa-aastase Florencei hoidmisel.

It took three years to complete and is dedicated to her Filipina helpers, Maricon Espiritu and Ginalyn Narag, who help with cooking and looking after son, Joseph, four, and daughter, Florence, eight.


Abilised, keda ta kirjeldab kui "pereliikmeid", aitasid raamatu kirjutamise ajal retsepte testida. See on esimene taoline raamat Singapuris, mis avaldatakse nii inglise kui ka tagalogi keeles.

The helpers, who she described as "part of the family," helped test the recipes during the writing of the book, which is the first of its kind in Singapore to be published in English and Tagalog.


"A Helping Hand" on saadaval raamatupoodides kõikjal Singapuris hinnaga 39.90 SGD ja ka väljarännanute keskustes välismaal, sh Hongkongis, Dubais, Malaisias, Vietnamis ja Filipiinidel.

A Helping Hand is available in bookstores across Singapore for SG$39.90 and in expat hubs including Hong Kong, Dubai, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.


Elise Christie räägib sellest, kuidas ta sai üle Sotši õudustest ja küberkiusamisest, et uuesti kulla nimel uisutada

Elise Christie on how she overcame Sochi nightmare and cyber bullying to skate for gold again


Võrreldes selle hapra noore naisega, kes kaalus hiljuti uisustaadioniga igaveseks hüvasti jätmist, on 26-aastane Christie tundmatuseni muutunud.

At 26, Christie appears unrecognisable from the fragile young woman who recently contemplated walking away from the ice rink for good.


Õelad solvangud lõid tal jalad alt, eriti seetõttu, et teda oli ka lapsena West Lothianis koolis käies kiustatud.

The vicious abuse had cut her to the quick, doubly so because she had been bullied as a child at her school in West Lothian.


Praegu pakatab ta enesekindlusest ja usub, et katsumus võib jõuda ringiga tagasi algpunkti, tuues endaga kaasa vähemalt ühe kulla Pyeongchangis.

Today, she exudes a confidence that the ordeal can yet come full circle with at least one gold in Pyeongchang.


"Kahtlemata soovin väljuda olümpiavõitjana," ütleb ta, kartmata eesmärki täpsustada.

"I definitely want to come away as an Olympic champion," she says, unafraid of specifying a target.


"Tunnen, et olen nii kehaliselt kui ka vaimselt õiges punktis, et sellega hakkama saada."

"Physically and psychologically, I feel in the right state to be able to do it."


Kunagi unistas ta iluuisutajakarjäärist, kuni esteetilised elemendid hakkasid seda huvi vähendama.

Once, she had entertained visions of a career as a figure-skater, until the aesthetic elements began to turn her off.


"Olin väga osav hüppaja, aga mul oli raskusi asja kunstipärasust taotleva poolega," ütles ta naerdes.

"I was really good at jumping, but I struggled with the arty side of it," she says, laughing.


"Ma ei olnud eriti hea elegantsuses, korralikkuses.

"I wasn't so good at being elegant, tidy.


See oli mõistlik valik, sest lühirajauisutamine sobib minu isiksusega kõige paremini."

It was a sensible choice, because my personality is much more suited to short track."


Vietnam "tunneb kahetsust" Saksamaa inimröövisüüdistuse pärast

Vietnam 'Regrets' Germany's Kidnapping Accusation


Vietnam sõnas neljapäeval, et tunneb kahetsust seoses Saksamaa välisministeeriumi kommentaaridega, mis süüdistavad Vietnami luureteenistust endise vietnami naftaettevõtja, kes on omastamissüüdistuste tõttu kodumaal tagaotsitav, röövimises.

Vietnam said Thursday that it regretted comments by the German Foreign Ministry accusing Vietnamese intelligence services of kidnapping a former Vietnamese oil executive who's wanted back home on embezzlement charges.


Saksamaa võimud usuvad, et Trinh Xuan Thanh haarati kaasa Berliinist, mis jättis Vietnami luureatašeedele kolmapäeval 48 tundi, et riigist lahkuda.

German authorities believe Trinh Xuan Thanh was snatched in Berlin and gave the Vietnamese intelligence attache 48 hours on Wednesday to leave the country.


Thanh seisab silmitsi omastamissüüdistustega, millega kaasneb süüdimõistmise korral surmanuhtlus.

Thanh faces embezzlement charges, which carry the death penalty.


Ta otsis Saksamaalt asüüli, kuid tema avaldust ei olnud jõutud veel läbi töötada, kui Vietnami võimud nõudsid tema väljaandmist.

He had sought asylum in Germany but his application had not been processed yet while Vietnamese authorities sought his extradition.


Vietnami välisministeeriumi esindaja Le Thi Thu Hang ütles reporteritele, et need kommentaarid on "äärmiselt kahetsusväärsed" ja Thanh andis end 31. juulil ise Vietnamis politseile üles.

Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang told reporters that the comments were "very regrettable" and that Thanh turned himself in to police in Vietnam on July 31.


"Vietnam peab alati tähtsaks ja soovib arendada strateegilisi suhteid Saksamaaga," ütles ta detailidesse laskumata.

"Vietnam always attaches importance to and wishes to develop strategic relations with Germany," she said, without elaborating.


Thanh, 51, kadus eelmise aasta juulis pärast seda, kui talle esitati algselt ebaausa juhtimise süüdistus riikliku nafta- ja gaasigigandi PetroVietnami tütarettevõttes, mis tõi endaga kaasa ligikaudu 150 miljoni USA dollari ulatuses kahjusid.

Thanh, 51, disappeared in July last year after he was initially accused of mismanagement at a subsidiary of national oil and gas giant PetroVietnam, resulting in losses of some $150 million.


Vietnami politsei väljastas vahistamiskorralduse septembris.

Vietnamese police issued an arrest warrant in September.


Märtsis algatas politsei juurdluse, et uurida omastamist seoses tema väidetava osalusega kinnisvaraarendusprojektis.

In March, police opened an investigation into embezzlement over his alleged involvement in a property development project.


Thanh oli PetroVietnam Construction Joint Stock Corporationi esimees kuni 2013. aastani, mil ta nimetati valitsuses mitmele vanemametikohale, sh Hau Giangi provintsi aseesimeheks lõunapoolses Mekong Deltas.

Thanh was chairman of PetroVietnam Construction Joint Stock Corporation until 2013, when he was appointed to several senior government positions, including vice chairman of Hau Giang province in the southern Mekong Delta.


Ta valiti 2016. aasta mais rahvusassambleesse, kuid vabastati kommunistide ülekaaluga seadusandlikust organist enne selle esimest istungit järgnenud kuul.

He was elected to the National Assembly in May 2016, but was dismissed from the Communist-dominated legislature before its first session the following month.


Ta visati ühtlasi välja kommunistlikust parteist.

He was also stripped of his Communist Party membership.


Vietnami suursaadik Saksamaal kutsuti teisipäeval välisministeeriumisse ja talle teatati, et Saksamaa nõuab Thanhi tagastamist, et asüüli- ja väljaandmismenetlused saaks korrektselt ellu viia.

Vietnam's ambassador to Germany was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday and was told that Germany demanded that Thanh be returned so that the asylum and extradition proceedings could be conducted properly.


Uurimise tulemused näitavad, et ka prussakad levitavad seemneid

Cockroaches spread seeds, too, research shows


Nagu linnud ja imetajad, levitavad ka prussakad seemneid.

Like birds and mammals, cockroaches spread seeds, too.


Need putukad on tuntud peamiselt lagundajatena, kes aitavad metsa all kõdunevaid aineid osadeks lammutada.

The insects are mostly known for their role as decomposers, helping to break down decaying matter on the forest floor.


Prussakad aitavad aga ka seemneid laiali kanda.

But cockroaches also help disperse seeds.


Jaapani teadlased avastasid, et prussakatel on tähtis roll metsaliigi Monotropastrum humile seemnete levitamisel.

Scientists in Japan found cockroaches were essential to the seed dispersal of a forest herb species, Monotropastrum humile.


See ei sisalda klorofülli, mistõttu see ei ole suuteline fotosünteesiks.

It has no chlorophyl, leaving it unable to perform photosynthesis.


Selle asemel saab liik oma toitained maapinna all kasvavatest seentest.

Instead, the species gets its nutrients from fungi growing beneath the soil's surface.


Taim poetab metsaalusele väikseid lõhnatuid ja kahvatuid valgeid vilju.

The plant drops tiny, odorless, pale white fruits on the forest floor.


Viljadel on väga vähe maitset või puudub see sootuks ning Jaapani teadurid leidsid, et linnu- ja imetajaliigid ei ole neist toiduallikana huvitatud.

The fruits have little to no flavor, and researchers in Japan found bird and mammal species were uninterested in the food source.


Ainult käputäis selgrootuid tarbis viljaliha ja metsaprussakas Blattella nipponica oli ainus liik, mis regulaarselt vilju külastas.

Only a handful of invertebrate consumed the fruit's pulp, and the forest cockroach, Blattella nipponica, was the only species to visit the fruit consistently.


Uurijad kontrollisid prussakate väljaheiteid, et teha kindlaks, kas need putukad aitavad taime seemneid levitada.

Researchers examined cockroach feces to determine whether the insects helped disperse the plant's seeds.


Teadlased leidsid, et iga pärast vilja söömist väljutatud fekaalitomp sisaldas keskmiselt kolme seemet.

Scientists found each feces pellet expelled after eating the fruit featured an average of three seeds.


Edasised testid kinnitasid, et suurem osa seeditud seemnetest oli elujõuline.

Further testings proved the majority of digested seeds were viable.


Teadlased oletavad, et see unikaalne taimeliik on tõenäoliselt õppinud evolutsiooni käigus prussakate seemnete levitamise võimet ära kasutama.

Scientists hypothesize that the unique herb species likely evolved to take advantage of the cockroach's ability to disperse seeds.


Taime viljad ripuvad maapinna lähedal ja need valmivad samal ajal, kui prussakad oma vastsestaadiumist väljuvad.

The plant hangs its fruit at ground level, and the fruits ripen at the same time cockroaches emerge from their pupa stage.


Uurijad avaldasid oma leiud sel nädalal ajakirjas Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.

Researchers published their findings this week in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.


"Võttes arvesse, et siiani on tuvastatud ligikaudu 4600 prussakaliiki, võib seemnete levitamine prussakate vahendusel olla palju laiaulatuslikum ja siiani lihtsalt dokumenteerimata mehhanism, mitte pelgalt kindla taimeliigi ainulaadne oskus prussakaid ära kasutada," ütles pressiteates Naoto Sugiura, Kumamoto ülikooli kaasprofessor.

"Given that about 4,600 cockroach species have been identified to date, cockroach-mediated seed dispersal may be a more pervasive but an as yet undocumented mechanism, rather than a unique exploit by a particular plant species," Naoto Sugiura, an associate professor at Kumamoto University, said in a news release.


"Loodetakse, et avalikustatud leiud julgustavad inimesi pöörama rohkem tähelepanu taimede ja prussakate omavahelistele suhetele ning otsima veelgi näiteid sellest, kuidas prussakad seemneid levitavad."

"It is hoped that the findings reported here will encourage people to pay more attention to plant-cockroach interactions and seek out further examples of cockroach-mediated seed dispersal."


Flynn esitas parandatud teabe avalikustamise aruande, mis näitab täiendavaid makseid

Flynn files amended disclosure report showing additional payments


Michael Flynn, kes teenis lühikest aega president Trumpi riikliku julgeoleku nõunikuna, esitas neljapäeval parandatud föderaalse rahalise teabe avalikustamise aruande, mis sisaldab uusi üksikasju Flynni lepingute kohta seoses Trumpi siirdumisega presidendiametisse, iraani-ameerika ärimehega seotud ettevõttega ja Trumpi kampaania heaks töötanud andmeteaduse ettevõtte emaettevõttega.

Michael Flynn, who served briefly as President Trump's national security adviser, filed an amended federal financial disclosure report late Thursday providing new details about his contracts with the Trump presidential transition, a company connected to an Iranian American businessman, and the parent company of a data science firm that worked for the Trump campaign.


Kirjas, mis saatis parandustega teavet, märkis Flynn, et tema algsed teabe avalikustamise aruanded olid esitatud kiirustatud oludes ilma Valge Maja advokaatide ja valitsuse eetikaameti pakutava tavapärase konsultatsiooni ja ülevaatuseta.

In a letter accompanying his revised disclosure, Flynn noted that his initial disclosure reports were filed under rushed circumstances without the customary consultation and review provided by White House lawyers and the Office of Government Ethics.


Kirja kohaselt ei saanud Flynn osa teistele võimaldatud tähelepanust, kuna ta ei olnud tol ajal enam Valge Maja töötaja.

The letter said Flynn did not receive the attention afforded others because he was no longer a White House employee at the time.


Flynn loobus oma ametikohast kõigest 24 päeva pärast ametisse astumist keset kuuldusi, et ta oli andnud asepresident Penceile eksitavat teavet oma valimisjärgsete sidemete kohta Vene suursaadikuga Ameerika Ühendriikides.

Flynn resigned his post just 24 days after taking office amid reports that he misled Vice President Pence about the nature of his contacts after the election with the Russian ambassador to the United States.


Flynn pälvis ühtlasi kriitikat välismaksete tõttu, mis tehti talle erasektoris töötamise ajal pärast 2014. aastal kaitseluureagentuuri direktori ametikohast loobumist.

Flynn also drew criticism over foreign payments he received while working in the private sector after stepping down as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014.


Varem esindajatekoja uurijatele avaldatud teabes deklareeris Flynn, et sai 2015. aastal Venemaaga seotud üksustelt ligikaudu 68 000 dollari ulatuses tasusid ja väljamakseid.

In a previous disclosure to House investigators Flynn reported receiving nearly $68,000 in fees and expenses from Russia-related entities in 2015.


Lisaks Venemaaga seotud sissetulekule paljastas neljapäeval esitatud teave, et Flynn on saanud vähemalt 5000 dollarit konsultanditeenuse eest Lähis-Itta tuumaelektrijaamade ehitamise projekti puhul.

In addition to the Russia-related income, Thursday's filing showed that Flynn received at least $5,000 as a consultant to a project to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.


Flynni töö seoses projektiga avalikustati juba varem, kuid ei olnud teada, et talle maksti selle eest.

Flynn's work on that project had been disclosed previously, but it was not known that he was paid.


Uuendatud teave kinnitab ühtlasi, et Flynn oli nõustunud tegema koostööd SCL Groupiga - tol ajal Cambridge Analytica Briti emaettevõttega - ehk Donald Trumpi kampaania raames palgatud andmeteaduse ettevõttega.

The updated disclosure also confirms that Flynn had agreed to work with the SCL Group, at the time the British parent company of Cambridge Analytica, a data science company hired by Donald Trump's campaign.


Cambridgei üks peamisi rahastajaid on riskifondide magnaat Robert L. Mercer, kelle tütar Rebekah on mõjukas konservatiivide rahaline toetaja.

One of Cambridge's main financiers is hedge fund magnate Robert L. Mercer, whose daughter Rebekah is an influential conservative donor.


Washington Post teatas veebruaris, et Flynn palgati SCL Groupi nõunikuks.

The Washington Post reported in February that Flynn had been hired as an adviser to SCL Group.


Tema rolli tundvate isikute sõnul oli Flynni eesmärk aidata SCL-i Ameerika tütarettevõttel võita uusi riigihankelepinguid Ameerika Ühendriikidega.

Flynn was tapped to help the American subsidiary of SCL win new U.S. government contracts, according to people familiar with his role.


Ühtlasi palkas SCL riigihankelepingute sõlmimise püüdluste eestvedajaks ühe Flynni kunagise kolleegi riikliku luure juhi ametkonnast.

SCL also hired one of Flynn's former colleagues from Office of the Director of National Intelligence to lead its government contracting efforts.


Flynn ei saanud tema tegevusega kursis oleva isiku väitel SCL-ilt mitte mingeid hüvitisi ega teinud tegelikku tööd.

Flynn received no compensation from SCL and performed no actual work, according to a person familiar with his activities.


Uue teabega tuli avalikuks, et Flynn sai Trumpi presidendiametisse siirdumisega seoses ligikaudu 28 000 dollarit.

The new filing disclosed that Flynn received about $28,000 from the Trump Presidential Transition.


Suurim avalikustatud tuluallikas on 140 000 dollarit Flynni töö eest Minneapolises asuva NJK Holding Corpi nõuniku ja konsultandina. Seda ettevõtet juhib Nasser Kazeminy, Iraanis sündinud ja praegu Ameerika Ühendriikides elav ärimees.

The largest source of income disclosed is $140,000 for Flynn's work as an adviser and consultant to Minneapolis-based NJK Holding Corp. That firm is led by Nasser Kazeminy, an Iranian-born businessman now living in the United States.


The Associated Press teatas neljapäeva õhtul NJK avaldusest, mille kohaselt "andis Flynn NJK Holdingsile nõu seoses ettevõtte väärtpaberitesse investeerimise huviga".

The Associated Press reported Thursday evening that NJK issued a statement saying that Flynn "played an advisory role to NJK holdings relative to its investment interests in security."


NJK rahastab tehnoloogiaettevõtet GreenZone Systems, mille aseesimees on Flynn.

NJK funds a technology firm called GreenZone Systems to which Flynn serves as vice chairman.


GreenZonei juhib Bijan Kian, Flynni äripartner Flynn Intelis - ettevõttes, mis on praegu uurimise all oma rolli tõttu lobitöös Hollandis tegutseva ettevõtte nimel, mis on seotud Türgi valitsusega.

GreenZone is led by Bijan Kian, Flynn's business partner in Flynn Intel, a company now under scrutiny for its role in lobbying work for a Dutch-based business linked to the government of Turkey.


Varem neljapäeval palus Elijah E. Cummings (Md.), juhtdemokraat esindajatekoja järelevalve ja valitsuse reformi komitees, esitada Kianil teavet Flynni välismaiste ärikontaktide ja reiside kohta.

Earlier Thursday, the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (Md.), asked Kian to provide information about Flynn's foreign business contacts and travel.


Flynni varasema julgeolekukontrolli käigus ütles Kian sõjaväelistele uurijatele, et ta partneril oli mitu välismaist ärikontakti.

At the time of a previous security review on Flynn, Kian told military investigators that his partner had several foreign business contacts.


Cummingsi sõnul ei öelnud Flynn aga samadele uurijatele selliste kontaktide kohta mitte midagi.

But Flynn did not tell the same investigators about those contacts, according to Cummings.


Olukorraga tuttava inimese väidete kohaselt läbis Flynn sellest hoolimata tol ajal julgeolekukontrolli.

A person familiar with the situation said Flynn nonetheless received his security clearance at the time.
