By the morning of the next day three people had died, while 12 were wounded, eight severely. At midday, six of the wounded were in a critical state. The shooter left the area by taxi and remains at large.\n\nBackground\nThe Christkindelsmärik is the Christmas market in Strasbourg, held annually on the square in front of the Strasbourg Cathedral since 1570. In 2000, a bombing plot was foiled by the French and German police: the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat had planned to detonate pressure cookers rigged as homemade bombs in the crowd at the Christkindelsmärik. Since then, the market has been under reinforced security, and subject of several suspected or actual attack attempts. In 2016, when several people were arrested in Marseille and Strasbourg for preparing a terrorist attack, cancelling the Christmas market was considered, although it was ultimately held as scheduled.\n\nOn the morning of 11 December 2018, the police raided the home of the suspect in Neudorf; he was not home, but the police found a fragmentation grenade, a loaded .22 long rifle, four knives (including two hunting knives) and ammunition in his apartment. The police had also been attempting to arrest him on suspicion of murder at this time.\n\nIncident\nThe incident started at around 19:50 local time (18:50 GMT), near Place Kléber, where the Christkindelsmärik was being held. The shooter, identified as Chérif Chekatt, entered the area through Pont du Corbeau, then went through Rue des Orfèvres, opening fire in three different locations, first at Carré-d'Or (rue des Orfèvres), then rue des Grandes-Arcades. The shooting lasted for ten minutes across multiple streets, during which time Chekatt was heard crying \"Allahu Akbar\" as he shot at the crowd. He then exchanged fire with soldiers of Opération Sentinelle, and then of the National Police; a soldier was hit in the hand, and Chekatt was himself shot in the arm. A 45-year old Thai tourist was hit in the head in front of a restaurant and died, despite passersby attempting to resuscitate him - ambulances took over 45 minutes to arrive. The shooter then escaped in direction of Neudorf and Place de l'Étoile, taking a taxi cab; the driver was unharmed and reported to the police having taken an armed and wounded man. His testimony allowed the police to identify the gunman.\n\nThe incident led to the closure of locations around the city including the European Parliament building. Police used Twitter to relay information to the public. The shooter remains at large, with 350 men of the security forces (RAID, BRI and Sentinelle) hunting for him, supported by air units.\n\nThe French government raised their security threat level to the highest possible as the search for the gunman continued, although Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet stated on Public Sénat that a state of emergency would not be declared for the occasion. Five thousand people were stranded in a sports facility used as temporary shelter, and the European Parliament was put on lockdown. Its President, Antonio Tajani, tweeted that \"[the European Parliament] will not be intimidated by terrorist or criminal attacks [and will] continue to work and react, strengthened by freedom and democracy against terrorist violence.\"\n\nThe incident was declared an act of terrorism by French authorities.\n\nVictims\n\nThe shooter entered the Old town of Strasbourg on Rue du Vieux Marché aux Poissons, coming from Pont du Corbeau (picture from Christmas 2014)\nThree people were killed at the scene while 12 others were injured, 6 in critical condition. The dead were identified as a 45-year old male tourist from Thailand who was on holiday with his wife, a man from Strasbourg born in 1957 (age 60 or 61), and a man from Afghanistan who has been left brain-dead.\n\nAt least two of the injured were attached to the European Parliament: an Italian journalist from Europhonica who was part of the press packet for the sitting, and a French staffer. One of the soldiers who was involved in the shoot-out with Chekatt was injured.\n\nSuspect\nThe suspect, 29-year-old Strasbourg-born man of Moroccan heritage, Chérif Chekatt, was known to the security services in France, Germany and Switzerland for 27 petty crimes. After his release from prison in France in 2015, he received a prison sentence for theft in Singen, Germany, and was expelled to France after his release in 2017.\n\nHe was tagged with a fiche \"S\" (\"State Security\" file), a type of extra-judiciary document that French State security uses to keep trace of suspect individuals, for his recent \"religious radicalisation\". Neighbours note that whilst they believed Chekatt's older brother was a radicalised Muslim, he himself seemed quite ordinary. Laurent Nuñez, Secretary of State to the Interior Minister, explicitly stated that the suspect was known to have a terrorist character, but that whilst he became a terrorism apologist in prison was not expected to perform an attack. On the morning of the attack, local police attempted to arrest him in relation to another murder, but could not locate him at this time.\n\nAn investigation has been started for \"murder and acts of terrorism in relation to a criminal enterprise\". Four people close to the suspect were detained for questioning after the shooting.\n\nReactions\nPresident of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel reacted the same day on Twitter, expressing condolences; Juncker called Strasbourg \"a city of symbol of European peace and democracy\" and Bettel, a \"symbol of European values\". British Prime Minister Theresa May said that her \"thoughts are with all of those affected and with the French people\".\n\nThe French national security was raised to its highest, and border controls were increased due to Strasbourg's proximity to Germany. The Christmas market was closed on the day after the attack.\n\nSee also\n2016 Nice truck attack\nNovember 2015 Paris attacks\nStrasbourg Cathedral bombing plot\n", "date": "2018-12-12"}} {"topic_id": "5", "languages_with_qrels": ["zho"], "topics": [{"lang": "eng", "source": "original", "topic_title": "Nigerian authorities respond to Boko Haram", "topic_description": "How have Nigerian authorities responded to attacks by the terrorist group known as Boko Haram?"}, {"lang": "zho", "source": "human translation", "topic_title": "尼日利亚当局应对博科圣地组织", "topic_description": "尼日利亚当局如何应对名为博科圣地的恐怖组织的袭击?"}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "مقامات نیجریه به بوکو حرام پاسخ", "topic_description": "چگونه مقامات نیجریه به حملات توسط گروه تروریستی شناخته شده به عنوان بوکو حرام پاسخ داده اند ؟"}, {"lang": "zho", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "尼日利亚对Boko Haram的授权", "topic_description": "尼日利亚人的权力如何被Boko Haram所吸引?"}, {"lang": "rus", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "Нигерийские власти отреагировали на Боко Харам", "topic_description": "Каким образом нигерийские власти реагируют на нападения террористической группы, известной как \"Боко Харам\"?"}], "narratives": {"zho": {"very_valuable": "Mistaken bombing on refugee camp thought to be Boko Hararm, Correct attacks on Boko Haram, Talks of buying weapons from US President Trump specifically to deal with Boko Haram issue.", "somewhat_valuable": "None chosen", "not_that_valuable": "None chosen", "non_relevant": "Anything about kidnapped girls returning home or being found, suicide attacks that Boko Haram conducted, articles that did not mention Boko Haram or Nigeria.

According to Politico, many expect Congress to vote on the bill either during the summer of 2016 or in the lame-duck session after the 2016 elections.

He vowed to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership once in office. According to the President-Elect, Trans-Pacific Partnership would cost American workers their jobs by \"[undermining] our economy...[and undermining] our independence\". The Republican Party also retained its legislative majority, it has been reported[by whom?] that \"Republicans have little incentive to bring the TPP to a vote, since Mr. Trump could easily threaten to unravel the deal when he takes office and block its implementation, as well as punish lawmakers who vote for it\".

(May 2016)\n\nAs it does in the United States, the FTA proves a highly divisive issue in Korea. Opposition arguments tend to focus on perceived disparities in the agreement as well as public opinion. Advocates tend to focus on economic predictions.\nOpponents\n\n The Korea Rural Economic Institute predicts that U.S. agricultural exports to South Korea, currently $2.8 billion, could double after the FTA, causing the loss of up to 130,000 jobs.\n Citizens' groups worried about transparency, the environment and labor standards say the deal was deficient as it was agreed on behind closed doors. The South Korean government, for example, has not allowed open, public debate about the FTA's impact on the nation's economy and sovereignty. The Korean Advertising Broadcasting Agency blocked the running of an advertisement produced by farmers protesting the deal. \"Should the FTA become law after an undemocratic process and in spite of mass popular opposition, the FTA will drive the perception in South Korea that America's democratic rhetoric is merely a cover for profit-seeking behavior\", Korean Americans for Fair Trade said.\n Baek Il, professor of Commercial Distribution Studies at Ulsan College, protested against the free trade agreement as \"a destruction of the South Korean domestic manufacturing industry\" in 2006 and in 2011.\n Several massive protests against the FTA have taken place in the country. A nationwide protest on November 22, 2006, reportedly drew 65,000 to 80,000 people, with 9,000 to 20,000 of them gathering at the city hall in Seoul. A protester named Heo Se-uk set himself on fire Sunday shouting \"Stop the Korea-U.S. FTA\" outside the hotel where negotiators were meeting. He was being treated for third-degree burns, police said. The overall opinion of the population has fluctuated over time and is difficult to gauge.\n Other polls indicated a majority opposed to the agreement, including an 83% no confidence rating in the government's ability to negotiate the agreement. The Lee Myung-bak administration has taken considerable political heat for its part in advancing the FTA, as did the previous Roh Moo-hyun administration. President Lee had to endure months of protests over the decision to reopen American beef imports, a decision that was made primarily with an eye towards securing American support for the FTA.\n Agriculture in South Korea is expected to be adversely affected, and $119 billion in aid to South Korean farmers has been announced over the next ten years to offset the effects of the finalized agreement.\n Fifteen anti-KORUS FTA university students were arrested in front of the Blue House fountain on December 10, 2011.\n Around 100 people who work the domestic beef industry protested against the Lee Myung-bak government in Jeonju on January 5, 2012, as the authorities are alleged to abandon the South Korean farmers in favor of American beef.\n\nAdvocates\n\n South Korean public companies receive opportunities for privatization.\n The Korea Institute for International Economic Policy estimates that exports to the United States will rise by 12% per year, or $5.4 billion, and grow by 15% in the longer run.\n Proponents of the FTA cite that it will create more jobs than the ones destroyed, and will be, on the long term, beneficial for the country.\n Business groups welcomed the news that South Korea concluded the free trade agreement with the U.S. business leaders stressed the importance of smoothly implementing the next steps, including ratifying the agreement in the National Assembly of South Korea.\n Lee Hee-beom, the chairman of the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) declared that \"This is our country's first step in its endeavor to join the group of advanced economies\", adding that \"the government should work out measures to compensate those who might suffer from the market opening and continue the restructuring process. The National Assembly should ratify the FTA as soon as possible so that the negotiations will show results quickly.\" Similar statements were made by the Federation of Korean Industries: \"With the successful conclusion of the FTA talks with the U.S. as momentum, this agreement will upgrade the traditional alliance with the United States to a higher level, and greatly help our enterprises advance into the US\".\n The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, \"We should view the FTA from the broad standpoint of promoting national interests rather than the interests of specific industries or groups\".\n The free trade agreement is expected to increase the growth rate of the South Korean GDP by 0.6% per year for the next 10 years. The South Korean government also cite increased foreign direct investment in Korea and heightened competition.\n The trade accord will knock down tariff and non-tariff barriers between the world's largest and 11th-largest economies, which did US$74 billion in two-way trade in 2006.", "date": "2018-02-20"}} {"topic_id": "14", "languages_with_qrels": ["fas", "rus"], "topics": [{"lang": "eng", "source": "original", "topic_title": "North Korean Earthquakes and Nuclear Testing", "topic_description": "Are earthquakes in North Korea being caused by nuclear testing?"}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "human translation", "topic_title": "زمین لرزه ها و آزمایش های هسته ای کره شمالی", "topic_description": "آیا زمین لرزه ها در کره شمالی ناشی از آزمایش هسته ای است؟"}, {"lang": "rus", "source": "human translation", "topic_title": "Северокорейские землетрясения и ядерное испытание", "topic_description": "Являются ли землетрясения в Северной Корее следствием ядерных испытаний?"}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "زلزله های کره شمالی و آزمایش هسته ای", "topic_description": "آیا زمین لرزه در کره شمالی توسط آزمایش هسته ای ایجاد می شود ؟"}, {"lang": "zho", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "North Korean Earthquakes和Nesting", "topic_description": "朝鲜的地震是否被核试验所吸引?"}, {"lang": "rus", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "Северокорейские землетрясения и ядерные испытания", "topic_description": "Являются ли землетрясения в Северной Корее причиной ядерных испытаний?"}], "narratives": {"fas": {"very_valuable": "Articles that were solely about both the nuclear testing and subsequent earthquakes.

Given the shallow depth of the quake and its proximity to North Korea's primary nuclear weapons testing facility, experts concluded that the country had conducted a sixth nuclear weapon test since the country first exploded a nuclear device in 2006. North Korea claimed that they had tested a hydrogen bomb capable of being mounted on an ICBM. The independent seismic monitoring agency NORSAR estimated that the blast had a yield of around 120 kilotons. An official KCNA statement of 3 September, also claimed North Korea’s ability to conduct a “super-powerful EMP attack”.\n\nOn the same day, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis speaking on behalf of the White House, warned there would be \"a massive military response\" to any threat from North Korea against the United States, including Guam, or its allies.\n\nEarly on 4 September, the Republic of Korea (South Korea) conducted a ballistic missile exercise that involved the South's Hyunmoo ballistic missile and the F-15K fighter jets, which was billed to be in response to North's detonation. The state news agency Yonhap said the South's military had carried out a live-fire exercise simulating an attack on the North's nuclear site, hitting \"designated targets in the East Sea\".\n\nOn the same day, the UN Security Council convened to discuss further measures against North Korea; the leaked draft the relevant UNSC resolution prepared by the U.S. was said to call for an oil embargo on North Korea, ban on the country's exports of textiles, on the hiring of North Korean workers abroad as well as personal sanctions against Kim Jong-un. Despite resistance from China and Russia, the United States on 8 September formally requested a vote of the United Nations Security Council on the U.S. resolution. UNSC 2375 passed on 11 September as a significantly watered-down version of the United States' request.\n\nOn 6 September, Donald Trump, after a telephone conversation with China′s Xi Jinping, said that the United States would not tolerate North Korea′s provocations, although military action was not his \"first choice\".\n\nMissile test over Japan on 15 September\nOn 14 September, North Korea issued a threat to \"sink\" Japan, and turn the US to \"ashes and darkness\". The statement drew strong condemnation from Yoshihide Suga, who described the speech as \"extremely provocative and egregious\". The next day, an IRBM was fired from near Pyongyang and flew over Hokkaido, Japan before splashing down in the western Pacific about two thousand kilometers off Cape Erimo at about 7:16 AM local time.\n\nThe missile traveled 3,700 kilometres (2,300 mi) achieving a maximum apogee of 770 kilometres (480 mi) during its 19 minute flight. It is the furthest any North Korean IRBM missile has gone above and beyond Japan. On 18 September, North Korea announced that any further sanctions would only cause acceleration of their nuclear program.\n\nU.S. and China agree on ″pressure″\nOn 18 September, the White House said president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping had discussed North Korea’s continued nuclear weapons and ballistic missile tests and committed to “maximising pressure on North Korea through vigorous enforcement” of UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea; North Korea said the sanctions would accelerate its nuclear programme.", "date": "2017-09-22"}} {"topic_id": "20", "languages_with_qrels": ["fas"], "topics": [{"lang": "eng", "source": "original", "topic_title": "Italian coast guard response to Mediterranean migrants", "topic_description": "How is Italy's coast guard responding to the migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea?"}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "human translation", "topic_title": "واکنش گارد ساحلی ایتالیا در برابر مهاجران مدیترانه", "topic_description": "گارد ساحلی ایتالیا چهگونه واکنش می دهد در برابر مهاجرانی که سعی عبور دریای مدیترانه میکنند؟"}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "پاسخ گارد ساحلی ایتالیا به مهاجران مدیترانه ای", "topic_description": "چگونه گارد ساحلی ایتالیا به مهاجران در تلاش برای عبور از دریای مدیترانه واکنش نشان می ‌ دهد ؟"}, {"lang": "zho", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "意大利对地中海移民的反应", "topic_description": "意大利的鳕鱼是如何对迁徙到地中海的移民做出反应的?"}, {"lang": "rus", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "Реакция итальянской береговой охраны на средиземноморских мигрантов", "topic_description": "Как береговая охрана Италии реагирует на мигрантов, пытающихся пересечь Средиземное море?"}], "narratives": {"fas": {"very_valuable": "-In May 2017 Italy was accused of allowing the drowning of refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean and destined for Europe.

Many people from underdeveloped African countries embark on the dangerous journey for Europe, in hopes of a better life. In parts of Africa, particularly Mauritania and Morocco, trafficking of immigrants to Europe has become more lucrative than drug trafficking. Some migrants die during the journey. Most of those whose claim for asylum were unsuccessful are deported back to Africa. Libya is the major departure point for irregular migrants setting off for Europe.\n\nBetween October 2013 and October 2014, the Italian government ran Operation Mare Nostrum, a naval and air operation intended to reduce irregular immigration to Europe and the incidence of migratory ship wreckages off the coast of Lampedusa. The Italian government ceased the operation as it was judged to be unsustainable, involving a large proportion of the Italian navy. The operation was replaced by a more limited joint EU border protection operation, named Operation Triton managed by the EU border agency, Frontex. Some other European governments, including Britain's, argued that the operations such as Mare Nostrum and Triton serve to provide an \"unintended pull factor\" encouraging further migration.\n\nIn 2014, 170,100 irregular migrants were recorded arriving in Italy by sea (an increase from 42,925 arrivals recorded in 2013), 141,484 of them leaving from Libya. Most of them came from Syria, the Horn of Africa and West Africa.\n\nThe issue returned to international headlines with a series of migrant shipwrecks, part of the 2015 Mediterranean migration crisis. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates suggest that between the start of 2015 and the middle of April, 21,000 migrants had reached the Italian coast and 900 migrants had died in the Mediterranean. Critics of European policy towards irregular migration in the Mediterranean argue that the cancellation of Operation Mare Nostrum failed to deter migrants and that its replacement with Triton \"created the conditions for the higher death toll.\"", "date": "2018-10-22"}} {"topic_id": "23", "languages_with_qrels": ["fas"], "topics": [{"lang": "eng", "source": "original", "topic_title": "Technical US-South Korean Military Exercise", "topic_description": "Find information regarding technical or computer-related military exercises that took place after the original U.S. and North Korean summit."}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "human translation", "topic_title": "رزمایش فنی آمریکا و کره جنوبی", "topic_description": "اطلاعات مربوط به تمرینات نظامی فنی یا رایانه ای را که پس از اتحاد اصلی ایالات متحده و اجلاس کره شمالی انجام شد ، بیابید."}, {"lang": "fas", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "فنی ایالات متحده و کره جنوبی ورزش نظامی", "topic_description": "اطلاعات مربوط به تمرینات نظامی فنی یا کامپیوتری را که پس از اجلاس اصلی ایالات متحده و کره شمالی برگزار شد ، پیدا کنید."}, {"lang": "zho", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "技术US-South Korean Military Exercise", "topic_description": "在美国和北Korean的上空发现与技术或计算机有关的军事活动有关的信息。"}, {"lang": "rus", "source": "20220114-scale21-sockeye2-tm1", "topic_title": "Технические учения США и Южной Кореи", "topic_description": "Найдите информацию о технических или компьютерных военных учениях, которые прошли после первоначального саммита США и Северной Кореи."}], "narratives": {"fas": {"very_valuable": "simulated computer and technical drills between the US and South Korea.", "somewhat_valuable": "na", "not_that_valuable": "na", "non_relevant": "Info about large exercises, tensions between the US and North Korea, missile tests, letters sent to Trump.
