UK Police Open Investigation Into Sir Mo Farah's Trafficking Revelations_我的网站

A |     The London Metropolitan Police Service has launched an investigation into recent allegations voiced by Sir Mo Farah, who recently revealed he was brought to the UK by a stranger under the name of another child and placed in domestic servitude.,According to the Daily Telegraph, the investigation will likely focus on the married couple that Farah accused of forcing him to cook, clean and babysit.,Farah revealed in the BBC documentary that his mother had sent him to live with family in Djibouti at the age of four after his father was killed by a stray bullet during the Somali civil war. The long-distance runner was later trafficked to the United Kingdom when he was 9 years old at the hands of an unidentified woman, who would eventually place him with a married couple.,The athlete further disclosed during the documentary that it was Alan Watkinson, his school's physical education teacher at the time, who helped him out of the situation. However, that didn't take place for a period of about three years, as he was not allowed to attend school until he was nearly 12 years old.,Farah also revealed that Mohamed Farah was not his birth name, rather it was a name taken from another child and used to establish a fake passport.,“Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name or it’s not the reality,” Farah said in the documentary. “The real story is I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin. Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK.”,Farah, who previously stated he had come to the UK with his parents as refugees, explained that he chose to go public with his truth after being encouraged by his family. “Family means everything to me and, you know, as a parent, you always teach your kids to be honest, but I feel like I’ve always had that private thing where I could never be me and tell what’s really happened,” he said.,“I’ve been keeping it for so long, it’s been difficult because you don’t want to face it. Often my kids ask questions, ‘Dad, how come this?’ And you’ve always got an answer for everything, but you haven’t got an answer for that.”,The revelations initially surfaced on Tuesday for a preview of the documentary, which aired on Wednesday.,The winner of four Olympic and six world gold medals in the long-distance running category, Farah was knighted for his contributions to the sport in 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II. It was confirmed on Wednesday by the Home Office that no action will be taken against Farah over his citizenship.。

Deutsche Grammophon signed Ju ­earlier this year. The label has previously worked with well-known Chinese pianists including Li ­Yundi, Lang Lang and Yuja Wang. Ju's arrival raises a different question: What will younger ­musicians, trained both in China and the West, bring to classical music?
The album features works by Leoš Janácek, Maurice Ravel and Alexander Scriabin. The physical edition also includes three of Ju's own poems. 
The title Mist Without draws on the German idea of Weltschmerz, a feeling of world-weariness, and the Chinese tradition of misty, suggestive poetry. Ju uses wu, the Chinese character for mist, to create a quieter and more reflective mood. The centerpiece of the album is Janácek's piano suite In the Mists.
"Poetry and piano are equal parts of my experiences," Ju said in a recent interview with the Global Times. "When I work on a single note or a phrase at the keyboard, it feels exactly like shaping a sentence - counting the syllables, weighing the rhythm, choosing the words." 
For Ju, playing the piano is less a profession than a form of daily discipline. "It is stricter than many formal religions," he said.
Now in his mid-20s, Ju previously studied at the Juilliard School in New York before continuing his training in Germany. His approach, rooted in China yet open to the world, reflects a generation of Chinese musicians increasingly comfortable moving between ­cultures. For Ju, that movement between cultures is not necessarily something that needs to be explained.
"Culture can be learned," Ju said. He hears a deep kinship between turn-of-the-century France and ancient China: "To me, so much of [Claude] Debussy's late work feels like Tang Dynasty (618-907) poetry." 
Western critics have already taken notice of Ju's distinctive style. In a 2024 review of his Carnegie Hall recital, New York Concert Review wrote that he "shines in the magic of the understated, pulling us into his psychological stillness." British critic Jed Distler, writing in Gramophone, praised his sensitive understanding of Janácek's music.
Having grown up navigating multiple languages and later pursuing training abroad, Ju sees cultural boundaries less as barriers than as things to move through.
"Unlike before, we can now present Eastern ideas not as a deliberate statement, but as something entirely natural and self-assured," he said.
Ju does not present Mist Without as a grand statement. "It is simply the first step in creating recordings that carry personal thought rather than polished display," he said.
Asked what AI might bring to classical music, Ju was unequivocal.
"If what you care about is the relationship between music and people, AI cannot provide that," he said. "AI represents the perfection of human intelligence. Art shows human nature - its desires, its light and its darkness. Music is about human imperfection."
