China: A 60-year-old woman from southern China has become a popular gaming live-streamer after taking up video games to understand her son’s addiction.

Zhong Juanjuan, known online as “Auntie Juan,” began playing computer games in 2020. Her son, Suode, taught her how to play after she became curious about the games he spent hours playing.

Gaming was once a family problem for Zhong. Around two decades ago, her son became addicted to games while in secondary school, which affected his studies. She often visited internet cafes to bring him home.

At first, Zhong struggled with the controls because of poor eyesight and slower reactions. However, she continued practising and gradually improved.

She started live-streaming her gaming sessions in 2022 and soon attracted thousands of viewers. She mainly plays shooting games and has reportedly spent more than 8,000 hours gaming.

Zhong gained wider attention in December 2024 after being invited to an online exhibition match for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Her unusual journey from a concerned mother to a popular gamer has made her an internet sensation.

Bristol: A 14-year-old boy from Wiltshire stabbed a girl several times inside a shop in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, after she rejected his request for a date, according to police and court proceedings.

The teenager had asked the girl out in December 2025, but she turned him down. He later allegedly contacted her through fake social media accounts after becoming obsessed with her.

On March 15, the boy reportedly waited near a shop in Cirencester before following the girl inside. He was carrying a knife hidden in the pocket of his jeans.

CCTV footage showed the teenager approaching the girl and suddenly pulling out the knife. He grabbed her and stabbed her several times as she tried to escape.

The shopkeeper stepped in and attempted to stop the attack. The boy then stabbed the shopkeeper in the back before continuing to chase the girl inside the shop.

The girl eventually managed to escape and raised the alarm at a nearby property. She suffered cuts and injuries to her neck, face and hands, along with bruising on her back.

Police were called to Upper Churnside in Cirencester at around 11:15 am after receiving reports of a stabbing. Officers found the teenager nearby shortly afterwards and arrested him. A knife was recovered from his jeans pocket.

The teenager later admitted charges including wounding with intent, causing grievous bodily harm and possessing a bladed article in a public place.

In a statement read in court, the girl described the emotional impact of the attack. She said she had suffered nightmares and continued to relive the incident in her dreams.

She also said she struggled to sleep and often felt that someone was present in her room when she woke up. The girl said she now felt nervous when she was outside and often flinched when someone moved their hand near her.

She told the court that the incident had affected her ability to trust people. She also said she was being dropped off at work because she did not want to travel alone.

A detective praised the shopkeeper for intervening during the attack. CCTV footage showed the staff member running towards the entrance and opening the door, giving the girl an opportunity to escape.

The teenager appeared at Bristol Crown Court on Monday, September 21. He was given a one-year referral order at Gloucester Crown Court.

The judge also expressed surprise that the teenager had spent three months in custody, saying that while the offences were serious, this appeared unusual for a youth case.

Latest news: A Canadian woman has been awarded Rs 24 lakh ($35,000) after six neighbours cut trees on her property without proper permission.

Jacalyn Hays took the matter to the Provincial Court of British Columbia. She accused the neighbours of cutting and trimming trees to get a better view of Shuswap Lake.

Hays had earlier given limited permission to trim some small saplings. She said the trees had to be less than three inches in diameter and had to be left at a certain height.

However, Hays later found that several trees had been cut beyond the agreed limits. Some saplings were more than three inches in diameter, while others had been cut down to ground level.

She also found branches and other tree debris left on her property. Hays and her son spent several hours clearing the waste.

One of the defendants, Alan Fenton, later said he believed they had permission to cut back the trees as they wished.

A recorded conversation between Hays and Fenton in August 2023 was also presented in court. Fenton accepted responsibility for what had happened. The judge allowed the recording to be used as evidence.
