"Weizmann" translates to White man in English.
Is it normal to have a German street name in Israel?

I agree. Assuming the toilets in Japan are the same style as European ones it wouldn't be easy, if possible at all to flush a full term baby.
Let alone hiding a full term pregnancy from 7 housemates..

But anyway, it seems that the only way this happened is that this was no baby but rather so premature that it was closer to being an embryo than ready for birth. So the article declaring this an "infant" is not being remotely honest.
I feel sorry for the septic tank worker who had to deal with this.

I wonder how much untreated water has been dumped in the sea already?

For their batons.
Thank you, and as there are two cylinders it's for traffic directing use.
Makes sense now, something I rarely see in England.
Cheers.

What are the plastic cylinders on the front of the bikes? Someone said to hold the big riot sticks, is that correct?

Yes, the handshake picture is interesting. Wang Yi has Putins outstretched hand drawn in very close to his body.
It looks like Wang has kept his hand and arm close so making Putin reach out to him.
