🤸The young children training for Olympic glory.

🇨🇳China's notoriously demanding state sports system has attracted legions of critics but has also made one of the most successful Olympic nations

@TelegraphWorld Thread ~ 🧵👇

🥇 Despite the tough drills, officials say the focus is now on 'happy gymnastics' rather than securing medals.

AFP have gained access to China's gymnastics training centres over the past 4 years, chronicling the lives of children who are being honed for Olympic glory Image
💪"We are more relaxed now. In the past, we certainly hoped to produce lots of champions," said Liu Fen, deputy headmaster at Li Xiaoshuang school.

"But now society and people's minds are changing, so our training mode is also changing"

🔴In recent weeks Islamists stormed the town of Palma in Mozambique leaving decapitated bodies scattered across the town.

But Mozambique’s insurgency has been growing in power and violence for 4 years.

@TelegraphWorld investigated, thread ~ 🧵👇

telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/04/0…
🇲🇿The siege of Palma was a real life nightmare:

📌Armed terrorists took over the hotel town
📌 Law and order collapsed
📌 Civilians were left to fend for themselves
📌 Masked psychopaths slaughtered with impunity

Observers were shocked…
🔴 “The brutality is unbelievable,” said Lionel Dyck, whose private security firm was hired by the Mozambican government in 2020.

"What they do to the people they capture and kill I have never seen anywhere in Africa,” Dyck continued

“This was going to be the first time I could get out... Older people like me don't have this computer knowledge” - David Walters, 78

Thread 👇🧵

🙈 The sex education curriculum is about to be updated for the first time in 20 years. So what would young people most like to be taught?

telegraph.co.uk/family/relatio…
From sexting to online porn and dating apps, it's fair to say that teenagers in 2021 are growing up in a very different world from their parents and teachers when it comes to sex and relationships
Young people are desperate for more reliable information. They know the gist of what they're missing; they see it online; on porn sites, Bridgerton even. But for many millennials and older members of Gen Z, getting good sex education has come too little, too late

🍻 I can’t wait to be back in a beer garden. The thought of drinking a pint of ale from a barrel, rather than a lukewarm cooler, almost makes my brain short-circuit
😎 Sitting on wonky wooden benches, donning sunglasses and SPF when it hits eight degrees and scoffing on the bar’s offering of deep fried anything come 10pm – I want it all.

But, before going to the pub, there’s somewhere else I’ll be heading Image
