German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said on the 24th that the government plans to introduce new regulations to strictly restrict the sales of nitrous oxide gas, commonly known as "laughing gas", and is worried that more and more teenagers in Germany are harming their health by smoking "laughing gas".

"Laughing gas" is a colorless, sweet gas commonly used as a medical anesthetic. "Laughing gas" is addictive and harmful. After inhalation, blood oxygen saturation will drop rapidly, and a series of symptoms such as dizziness and chest tightness due to hypoxia will occur. Inhalation of large amounts will cause hallucinations, audio-visual dysfunction and muscle dysfunction. A series of side effects such as reduced contractility can cause damage to the central nervous system and even lead to paralysis.

Current German law does not restrict the sale and use of "laughing gas", but this gas is relatively easy to obtain on the market and the price is not high. Because of the desire for temporary pleasure, many teenagers will take drugs at parties. The medical and health circles are worried that the proliferation of "laughing gas" will endanger the health of young people, and urge the German government to take measures to restrict the recreational use of "laughing gas".

Lauterbach said in an interview with German TV station on the 24th that the government will "soon introduce regulations." Possible measures include classifying "laughing gas" as a psychoactive substance, and its sales and possession will be strictly restricted. Given that nitrous oxide gas is also used in industry, the German government will not ban it entirely.

Doctor Falk Rimroth told the TV station: "Nowadays, 'laughing gas' is sold even at kiosks near schools. This must be stopped. Anesthetics should not be sold in the general market and should be in the hands of doctors. Not with gummy bears.”

Lauterbach said parents should educate their children to stay away from the gas until the government introduces relevant restrictions. "It may sound fun and harmless, but it's not...it's very dangerous for children and young people."

Iran Saudi Military Alliance? The United States is in a hurry: This goes against reason. UAE | Iran | United States

Senior Iranian military leaders recently announced that they will form a new naval alliance with Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as India and Pakistan. In response, the US responded that this move was "contrary to reason.". According to an exclusive report by the US "Breakthrough Line of Defense" website on June 3, a US military official told the website that Iran's claim that Tehran will soon establish a naval alliance with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries is "unreasonable". According to reports, Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for the US Fifth Fleet and Joint Maritime Forces, said, "Iran is the number one factor causing regional unrest, and its claim to form a naval security alliance to protect the waters it threatens is unreasonable." Hawkins said, "Action is important, so we are working with partners to strengthen defense around the Strait of Hormuz."

With the sound of the whistle, trains from China to Europe slowly enter and exit, and then gallop day and night on the Eurasian continent. In the port loading yard, the tall gantry crane steadily grabs the containers and arranges them in an orderly manner like building blocks. When the shower suddenly came, Heimiti, the cargo loading attendant in the freight workshop of Khorgos Station, continued to command the gantry crane to carry out the reloading operation. "It's very busy changing goods now, and we need to make full use of our work time," he said. Since May, he has clearly felt that the frequency of China Europe freight trains has been increasing. Khorgos was the hub of the Silk Road in ancient times, and is now an important hub along the "the Belt and Road". In the past 10 years, the "the Belt and Road" Initiative
