Child Separation & Prison Camps: China's Campaign Against Uyghur Muslims Is "Cultural Genocide"

Chinese authorities have been accused of systematically separating Muslim children from their families in the far western region of Xinjiang. According to a new report commissioned by the BBC, China is rushing to build boarding schools where children, mostly from the Uyghur community, are deliberately removed from their families, as well as their language and culture. This comes as an estimated 1 million adults from the Uyghur community are being imprisoned in camps that China claims are "vocational training centers" designed to combat extremism.

EPA Refuses to Ban Dangerous Pesticide Chlorpyrifos Linked to Brain Damage in Children

The Environmental Protection Agency will not ban the widely used pesticide chlorpyrifos–even though the agency's own research shows that it can cause brain damage in children. The substance is sold under the commercial name Lorsban and is banned for household use. But it's still used by farmers on more than 50 fruit, nuts, cereal and vegetable crops. The announcement came Thursday. The Obama administration said it would ban the use of the toxic chemical in 2015, but the rule never took effect.
