H3N2 virus causes influenza pandemic in south China

China's health authority says the current flu outbreaks in southern China, including Hong Kong, are mainly caused by the influenza A virus subtype H3N2.

It's reported that the flu pandemic has so far caused over 300 deaths in Hong Kong and the disease has spread to neighboring Guangdong province, especially the neighboring city of Shenzhen.

For the past three weeks, the flu alert has been kept at the highest level in Shenzhen, as over 2,000 cases have been identified since June at the border check points between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

However, the report released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the affected areas have seen a decrease in the number of cases in the past week.

The Chinese Consulate General has issued a warning on its website about a phone scam warning targeting Chinese communities in New York.

It comes as dozens of people have called the Consulate for verification after receiving suspicious calls on Tuesday.

The callers claimed to represent Chinese diplomatic missions and asked for personal and credit card information, citing various reasons.

The Consulate also says it never charges consular services fees via phone or smart phone app WeChat.

New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia.

It's estimated that around 800,000 Chinese were living in the city as of 2015.

Protests have been held as early results give president Uhuru Kenyatta a strong lead over Raila Odinga.

The demonstrators took to the streets after listening to Odinga, who cited irregularities in the presidential elections.

The 72-year-old Odinga rejected the presidential results, saying the electoral body's servers were hacked, creating room for manipulation of the votes.

Kenyans went to the polls on Tuesday to vote in a fiercely contested presidential election.

More than 1,200 people were killed and 600,000 others displaced during the 2007-08 post-election violence.

Ferguson crowd gathers to remember Michael Brown

Dozens of people have gathered in Ferguson in the US state of Missouri on the third anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown Junior.

The 18-year-old African-American was shot and killed by a white police officer on the same street where the crowd gathered.

The group released doves in Brown's memory and a dance troupe performed to the song "Hands Up, Don't Shoot."

Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., also attended the memorial.

Michael Brown Jr. was shot to death by then-officer Darren Wilson, who said he fired in self-defence, and a grand jury declined to indict him.

The shooting led to days of protests, riots, and violent clashes between protesters and the police.
