Reasserting its determination to crush gang crimes, China's Ministry of Public Security released a list of 52 major cases of gang crimes across the country and said it would supervise the handling of these cases in a circular issued on Tuesday.

The ministry would appoint officers to supervise and track the investigation of these cases, while at the same time providing expertise and technological support, the circular said.

It specifically ordered police chiefs, in areas where the mob cases occurred, to personally lead the investigation and said they would be held accountable for the investigation.

Police nationwide must strengthen cooperation with disciplined inspection and supervision departments to remove the mafia's "protective umbrellas" and root out its financial resources by confiscating all asserts related to gang crimes.

This was the eighth such listing released by the ministry since a long-term national campaign to crackdown on gang crimes began in February 2006.

Since then, the ministry has supervised the handling of 296 major cases of gang crimes. Among them, 270 have been prosecuted and courts have handed down sentences in 210 cases, according to the circular.

It cited one severe case in which a 27-member mafia group was apprehended by police in central Hubei Province for murdering, organizing gambling, and monopolizing construction projects.

The group leader, Jin Gangqiao, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.

Russia unparalleled

The scorching weather that settled in Russia this summer has been unparalleled for at least 1,000 years, RBC news agency reported on Monday, citing an expert as saying.

Head of Russia's weather monitoring agency, Rosgidromet, Alexander Frolov said that the steady heatwave by itself can be neither evidence nor refusal of the theory of he global warming.

"Climate has been turning more nervous," Frolov noted.

Still, he pointed out the climate pattern of 2010 has no analog in Russian written history, which is for as long as 1,000 years the archived records are available.

On Monday, one more historical temperature maximum was reached in Moscow - temperature exceeded by one degree the previous record set in 1893. On Sunday, another 78-year-old record was beaten by four degrees when temperature reached 36.1 degree Celsius, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Still, Russia's Emergency Situations Minister Serhei Shoigu believed that there were no reasons to declare the state of emergency in Moscow.

"We should calmly and professionally inform people about what is going on," the minister told Interfax news agency on Monday.

The heat and wildfires forced Russian strategic missal forces to correct their deployment plans for the ground mobile routes, a Defense Ministry spokesman told Interfax.

Meanwhile, Moscow's authorities ordered to limit the sales of respiratory masks "to avoid speculations," Andrei Seltsovsky from the city's Health Department told local media.

According to the officials, some people bought the masks in bulks, re-selling them with sevenfold mark-up.
