The youngest member of the history-making U.S. national table tennis that made a groundbreaking trip to Beijing 55 years ago has reflected on the significance of this famous visit which helped open up a new chapter in China-U.S. relations, saying the spirit of ‘Ping-Pong Diplomacy’ still offers valuable lessons.

The emperor penguin has been declared an endangered species as climate change pushes the icon of Antarctica a step closer to extinction, the global authority on threatened wildlife announced on Thursday.
Its change of status from "near threatened" to "endangered", made by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), underscores the existential threat for ice-dependent species as global warming profoundly reshapes the frozen continent.
Emperor penguins rely on stable sea ice -- essentially platforms of frozen ocean water -- to live, hunt and breed. Their numbers have plummeted as warming driven by greenhouse gas emissions has caused sea ice to break up earlier in the year. The IUCN -- a global network of scientists, governments and conservation groups -- said changes in sea ice were expected to halve the emperor penguin population by the 2080s.

Visitors toured the Tripoli zoo after it was reopened last month. Built in 1985, the zoo was closed in 2009 for renovations under the administration of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, less than two years before a NATO-backed uprising would oust.
The North African country has since been gripped by violence and bouts of fighting. "Since the zoo reopened, they have already brought in several new animal species. They are planning to bring in other animals to add more value and further improve the zoo," said an official.

Cherry blossoms are delighting visitors to Lake Kawaguchi near Mount Fuji, Japan. A festival to celebrate the blossoms is underway in Fujikawaguchiko Town.
About 200 Somei-yoshino cherry trees on the north side of Lake Kawaguchi — the main venue of the event — are at their best. A similar festival was canceled in a neighboring city this year as over tourism has become a serious problem. The event in the town is being held as usual. The organizers point out that the festival venues are located some distance from residential districts. The organizers had planned to hold the festival through Sunday, but they said they decided to push back its end by three days to April 15 because the blossoms are still at their peak.
