WASHINGTON， July 14 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson warned on Thursday of possible violence during the upcoming Republican National Convention.
"I am concerned about the prospect of demonstrations getting out of hand，" said Johnson here during a congressional hearing. "I am concerned about the possibility of violence."
According to Johnson， some 3，000 personnel from his agency will be dispatched for the security of both the Republican National between July 18-21 in Cleveland， Ohio and the Democratic National Convention slated for July 25-28 in Philadelphia， Pennsylvania.
"I know that there will be at least another 1，000 or so U.S. Government personnel in hand in both places... as well as probably thousands in terms of state and local law enforcement，" he added.
The Republican Convention will come at a time when the country was still reeling from series of racially charged shooting incidents which threatened to pit the country's African-American community and law enforcement officials against each other.
During his year-long campaign， Donald Trump， the New York billionaire developer expected to formally accept the GOP presidential nomination， frequently raised eyebrows across the political spectrum after uttering racially controversial words.
Meanwhile， FBI Director James Comey said on Thursday at the same hearing that the authorities were monitoring closely possible acts of domestic terrorism during the two conventions.
"There is a concern anytime there's an event like this that people from across a spectrum of radical groups will be attracted to it，" said Comey. Enditem
XINING， Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- There are now more than 1，400 Przewalski's gazelle， a species even more endangered than the giant panda， living around a lake in northwest China's Qinghai Province， its only habitat.
According to a survey by Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve， there were 1，464 gazelle living around the lake， around 200 more than the number recorded last year.
He Yubang， with the reserve， said the survey， which was conducted in August， recorded 324 fawns born this year and 1，140 older gazelle， consisting of 445 males and 695 females.
"This is a record high since our surveys began，" He said.
Years of protection has seen the gazelle population quadruple in the past 20 years and lowered its status on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species from "critically endangered" to "endangered."
The local government has set up watering places and supplied foraging food in the winter， and dismantled barbed wire fences， once used to restrict the movement of livestock and mark ownership of the grassland.
The sharp， barbed fences have killed many of the gazelle's in the past， as the animals tried to jump them.
The provincial forestry authorities tore down 515，000 meters of fencing or barbed wire across four counties around the lake from 2009 to 2015 and lowering the height of the remaining fences from 1.5 meters to 1.2 meters. Enditem
