es carrying out strikes that released “toxic gas” on Khan Sheikhun [url=http://www.cheapmaxplus.com/off-white-x-nike-air-vapormax-black-cheapest.html]Cheap Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax Black[/url] , in the northwestern province of Idlib, according to witnesses and a monitoring group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor, said at least 160 people suffered the effects of the gas.

Steady stream of patients

The WHO said some victims showed symptoms “consistent with exposure to organophosphorus chemicals, a category of chemicals that includes nerve agents.”

Medics worked frantically in the hours after the attack to treat a steady stream of patients, administering oxygen and hosing down victims to wash off chemical residue.

Even as they worked, there were reports of airstrikes hitting a medical facility treating victims, inflicting severe damage and prompting nearly a dozen medical staff to flee.

Patients arrived at a clinic supported by the Save the Children charity “exhibiting signs of difficulties breathing, and running noses, and watering eyes,” the charity’s director for Syria Sonia Khush said.

“That to us was an indication that this was most likely a chemical attack,” she said.

Idlib province is controlled mostly by an alliance of rebel and jihadist groups, including the former al-Qaida affiliate known as Fateh al-Sham Front.

Syria relinquished its chemical arsenal in 2013, to avert military action after it was accused of an attack outside Damascus. But there have been repeated allegations of chemical weapons use since.

Hard-core boxing fans decried last month's Floyd Mayweather--Conor McGregor bout as a farce - an overhyped mockery of an event designed to generate a huge payday, boxing's reputation be damned. While these fans weren't 100 percent wrong, last weekend's draw between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin definitely stole some of their rhetorical thunder.

Without question, Mayweather-McGregor was a gaudy, made-for-television spectacle. And while its first media event generated tons of interest, subsequent events were both anti-climactic (repetitive gimmicks) and borderline offensive (allegations of various types of slurs).

But the fight itself wasn't the competitive sham many boxing fans thought it would be. The scrappy McGregor took the fight to Mayweather early and held his own into the 10th round, when his conditioning limits (MMA fights are shorter than boxing matches) allowed Mayweather to swoop in and score a technical knockout.

In the end, McGregor's performance embarrassed neither himself nor the sport of mixed martial arts. The same cannot be said about Saturday's controversial draw between Alvarez and Golovkin. Not only did the final outcome prove unsatisfying to fans, bettors, and sportsbooks (boxing's holy trinity); judge Adelaide Byrd's confounding 118-110 scorecard in favor of Alvarez exposed one of boxing's long-held dirty little secrets: inept judging.

And although Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bob Bennett has promised to give Byrd "a little break" before allowing her to judge future big-time bouts, the damage has already been done. The Alvarez-Golovkin match-up was the perfect chance for boxing to capitalize on the afterglow of Mayweather-McGregor and regain some of its past glory. Instead, boxing delivered a "same as it ever was" moment.

A sport that launched the careers of convicted criminals Don King (manslaughter) and Mike Tyson (rape) doesn't get to claim the high moral ground very often. Saturday's showcase in Las Vegas proved that the action inside the ring is still just as shady as the action outside of it.

LUSAKA, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Zambian government on Monday assured investors from South Africa to increase their investment into Zambia because of a stable economic environment brought about by consistent economic policies.

Minister of Finance Felix Mutati said the Zambian economy has stabilized and was poised for strong economic growth as witnessed by declining inflation and a stable exchange rate.

The Zambian minister, who was speaking when he addressed South African investors at an Infrastructure Africa Business Forum in South Africa, said good governance and policy consistency had been the hallmark of Zambia's economic gains so far, according to a statement released by the Zambia embassy in that country.

While acknowledging that South African investors have invested over 1 billion US dollars in Zambia's various sectors this year, the Zambian minister urged more South African investors to explore the country's vast investment potentials.

He further called on African governments to prioritize infrastructure development to enable the continent compete effectively at the international level.

He appealed to the private sector to partner with governments to introduce new technologies that would help in bridging the infrastructure gap.
