British social media star 'Big John' detained in Australia over visa
SYDNEY — 'Big John' Fisher, a British social media star known for his viral fast food reviews, has been detained in Australia over a visa issue.Fisher — who is famous for his love of Chinese takeaway and his signature catchphrase "bosh" — arrived in Western Australia on Tuesday ahead of a tour of the country.However, in social media posts, he said he would have to cancel his scheduled appearances in Perth and Sydney as he would be deported to London.Fisher said he was questioned by border officials for four hours, and though his visa was "legit", Australian authorities "weren't happy" that he was going to be working during his visit."Will explain more when I get home but absolutely gutted," he said."Sorry, Perth, sorry, Sydney."A spokesperson for the Australian Border...

Trump's backing for his libertarian ally Javier Miler, who took office in December 2023, is no secret
Trump says US will not 'waste our time' helping Argentina if Milei loses
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has acknowledged that a $20bn (£15bn) US lifeline to help calm Argentina's currency crisis is an attempt to sway legislative elections this month in the South American nation.Welcoming Argentina's libertarian leader Javier Milei to the White House, Trump warned that the US would not "waste our time" with helping Argentina if Milei's party did not prevail.Milei praised Trump for his peacemaking efforts and said the US president's policies would lead to "prosperity".Argentina's financial turmoil comes ahead of national midterm elections on 26 October, seen as a test of voters' desire to continue backing Milei's cost-cutting, free-market reform agenda.As Trump sat across the table from his Argentine counterpart on...

Relatives of hostages whose bodies are still in Gaza Strip call for their release at Hostages Square, in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday
Fury grows in Israel over delayed release of deceased hostages
TEL AVIV — Just hours after the 20 remaining living hostages were released by Hamas and brought back to Israel on Monday, the speaker of the Israeli parliament took off his yellow ribbon pin, an emblem of solidarity and an omnipresent reminder of the nation’s commitment to securing the captives’ return.As he turned to thank US President Donald Trump – who had arrived earlier to thunderous applause in the Knesset for brokering the ceasefire deal – Amir Ohana said he was “honored to take it off.”Ohana’s pin was given to him by the father of one of the newly released hostages.Yet, the celebratory moment felt deeply inappropriate to some of those still waiting for their loved ones to return, some of whom were sitting in the very same room.“It was disrespectful – no...

ANTANANARIVO — Madagascar’s military has taken charge of the Indian Ocean island after President Andry Rajoelina fled abroad during a standoff with youth-led protesters and security forces, Reuters reported quoting an army colonel on Tuesday.“We have taken the power,” Col.

Sébastien Lecornu announced the planned suspension two days before his new government faced votes of confidence
French PM backs freezing Macron's pension reform to save government
PARIS – French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has told parliament he backs suspending controversial 2023 pension reforms, in the face of crucial votes of no-confidence later this week.The changes, which raised the retirement age from 62 to 64, were seen as signature reforms in Emmanuel Macron's presidency."This autumn I will propose to parliament that we suspend the 2023 pension reform until the [2027] presidential election," Lecornu said to applause from left-wing parties.Lecornu was reappointed prime minister last week only four days after he resigned, and needs the support of Socialist MPs in parliament if his government is to survive.Opposition parties on the far right and far left have called confidence votes, known as "censure" votes on Lecornu's government, for...

Masanori Aoki, now 34, stabbed two women who were taking a walk in the city of Nakano, then shot two policemen with a hunting rifle
Death penalty for Japan man who killed four in gun and knife attack
TOKYO — A Japanese court has sentenced to death a man who killed four people in a shooting and stabbing attack in 2023, rejecting the defence's argument that he has schizophrenia.Masanori Aoki, now 34, stabbed two women who were taking a walk in the city of Nakano and then shot two policemen — who arrived at the scene after receiving an emergency call — with a hunting rifle.Gun violence is rare in Japan, where strict firearms laws are in place. Even rarer is the shooting of multiple police officers. The last such incident took place more than 30 years ago.The defence had argued that a life sentence was more appropriate for Aoki, who has "diminished capacity" because of schizophrenia.Prosecutors agreed that Aoki had suffered from delusions but argued that he had committed the...

Tears and cheers in West Bank and Gaza as nearly 2,000 Palestinians freed from Isaeli jails
JERUSALEM — Israel freed almost 2,000 Palestinians from its jails on Monday as part of a Gaza ceasefire deal, prompting emotional scenes of families reunited with loved ones, some of whom had spent decades behind bars.More than 1,700 of those released were detainees who had been held without charge by Israeli forces in Gaza since the start of the war, which began with the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. Another 250 prisoners had been serving long sentences for convictions in serious crimes, including murder. Some alleged they had been regularly beaten while in Israeli prisons after their release on Monday.By late Monday, nearly 40 buses carrying the detainees moved slowly through large crowds at the Nasser medical complex in southern Gaza.The convoy was preceded by...

US-China trade tensions flare again as port fees take effect
SINGAPORE — New fees on US ships arriving in Chinese ports came into effect on Tuesday, as trade tensions between Washington and Beijing increase.The charges — which China says aim to "safeguard its shipping industry" from "discriminatory" measures — apply to US-owned, operated, built, or flagged vessels but not Chinese-built ships, state media said.It comes in retaliation as the US is set to start charging fees on Chinese ships arriving in its ports from 14 October.Beijing announced the levies last week alongside moves to tighten controls on its rare earth exports. US President Donald Trump responded with a threat of an additional 100% tariff on China.Also on Tuesday, new US tariffs came into effect on imported timber, kitchen cabinets and upholstered furniture, much of which comes...
