A Ukrainian official source said he is expected to meet with the foreign minister and other high-ranking officials, three weeks after President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke by phone with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down a total of 18 missiles, as well as nine drones, the Defense Ministry said, with Russia claiming all hits were on target.

Cyril Ramaphosa said that this initiative on behalf of African countries has cautious support in the United States, and has also visited the capitals of several European countries, where peacekeeping mission facilitators have been tasked with presenting the plan.

In Nakhon Ratchasima Province, villagers complained that it was already 8 o’clock in the morning, but the officials of the street administration had not come to work yet, and Secretary Chang had already clarified the working hours. I apologize to the people. Officials were also instructed to make preparations in advance
Date: August 18, 2024 Case from Facebook user who posted a photo clip on social media. Through the Facebook page “Good stuff, Dong Yai”, the message is as follows:
“The on-demand broadcast will be at work at 6:00 tomorrow morning. Please come and watch. The reporter said that he would set off at 5:00 in the morning (the subdistrict office will definitely be famous) and left a message “I will ask about it”? Who in the neighborhood management agency knew that only technical staff work at the Child Development Center at eight in the morning? Then the technician came to work before eight o’clock in the morning. We respect the generosity of receiving money from the people’s language, don’t we? It’s commendable, but I can tell you other agencies, it’s a shame that the taxes paid by the people are not worth the taxes paid by the people (you should go see the governor).
In the video, the poster was taken inside a street administrative agency in Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. After opening the door, no employees or officials were working. It was already 8:10 in the morning, close to the official working time. As a result, the story was posted on social media.
The reporter asked Ms. Chilaphong (anonymous), a villager in Tongai Street, Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The person who posted the clip stated that “on Friday, August 16, he went to contact government officials within the street management agency because he wanted to question the Engineering Department and Education Department officials of the street management agency. As for why the officials only ordered the demolition of the Child Development Center The teacher installed a CCTV camera but it was already 8:00 am and no officials were seen coming to work.
His intention was simply to inquire about the reasons for the removal of CCTV cameras. But when I came, no one felt that working for the government was taking public taxpayer money. Why aren’t you enthusiastic? So, he took out the story and posted it. I hope the officials will work according to the official time system. I would like to know why the street administration officials asked us to remove the CCTV cameras from the Child Development Center.
Because if there are CCTV cameras, they will be able to act as eyes and ears to prevent bad things from happening to young children in child development centres. Because if something happens the CCTV cameras will provide images for inspection. Create comfort Transparent on both sides Do I have to wait until an accident occurs to install the camera to protect it? Went to inquire, but there were no officials. At 8:10 in the morning, the street management agency started working and was supposed to be on standby. Ready to get to work, ready to serve the people. But only employees from the engineering department were found. That’s why he released the clip to make officials care more and do more for the people. During business hours, you cannot come to work at 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM. In order to be ready to start work at 8:30 in the morning, if people have an emergency, they can act quickly.
Mr. Prayoon Laowattana, the Permanent Secretary of the Subdistrict Administration, on behalf of the Mayor of the Subdistrict Administration, Mr. Sompit Kwanman, initially explained that the CCTV cameras were removed because they were personal cameras. Images may be recorded in an infringing manner. Or inappropriate situations may occur if someone opens or deletes important photos of important events. It could not be inspected so it was ordered to be removed first and then the street authority would purchase CCTV cameras as soon as possible and install them themselves. If anyone wants to see photos, they can contact the street management agency.
He has done preliminary checks in situations where a story about an officer being late for work was published. It turns out that everyone goes to work no later than 8:30 in the morning. And being prepared in advance to start work at 8:30 in the morning, I had to apologize to the service staff.
