Jimmy Kimmel gets emotional during his return to his late-night show on ABC on September 23, 2025
An emotional Kimmel returns to ABC, assails Trump’s ‘un-American’ attacks on free speech
WASHINGTON — Jimmy Kimmel returned to his late-night stage Tuesday night and urged viewers to stand up to President Trump’s threats. Shortly before Kimmel’s show aired, the president sent out a new missive against Kimmel’s network, ABC.In an eloquent and emotional monologue, Kimmel assailed “anti-American” efforts to curtail speech in the United States and signaled that he won’t temper his criticism of the president after a nearly week-long suspension of his show amid pressure from the Trump administration.“This show is not important,” Kimmel told viewers. “What’s important is that we live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”Kimmel spoke about spending time with comedians from countries where people “get thrown in prison for making fun of those...

Antoinette Lattouf's dismissal triggered a wave of public outrage
Australia journalist unfairly fired over Gaza post awarded A$150,000
SYDNEY — Australia's national broadcaster has been ordered to pay A$150,000 (£73,435.50, $99,200) in penalties for unfairly sacking a presenter over a social media post about the war in Gaza.The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) removed fill-in radio host Antoinette Lattouf from the air in December 2023 due to her political views and after lobbying from pro-Israel groups, the Federal Court found earlier this year.Lattouf has already been awarded A$70,000 in damages, but on Wednesday Justice Darryl Rangiah said the "substantial" extra sum was needed to ensure the ABC learned its lesson.The broadcaster has publicly apologised to Lattouf, saying it also failed its staff and audiences.Lattouf's dismissal triggered a wave of public outrage and created turmoil at the...

Gen Z uprising in Asia shows social media is a double-edged sword
SINGAPORE — It was the wedding of the daughter of a Nepalese politician that first angered Aditya. The 23-year-old activist was scrolling through his social media feed in May, when he read about how the high-profile marriage ceremony sparked huge traffic jams in the city of Bhaktapur.What riled him most were claims that a major road was blocked for hours for VIP guests, who reportedly included the Nepalese prime minister.Though the claims were never verified and the politician later denied that his family had misused state resources, Aditya's mind was made up.It was, he decided, "really unacceptable".Over the next few months he noticed more posts on social media by politicians and their children — pictures showing exotic holidays, mansions, supercars and designer...

Boss jailed for 15 years over deadly fire at South Korea battery plant
SEOUL — A South Korean court has handed a 15-year prison sentence to the boss of a lithium battery maker after a deadly fire last year.In June 2024, a blaze at a plant in Hwaseong city, about 45km (28 miles) south of the capital Seoul, killed 23 people, including 18 foreign workers, and injured eight others.The court found the blaze was "an anticipated disaster" and that Aricell chief executive Park Soon-kwan and other executives had caused the deaths of the workers.It is the longest jail term imposed under the country's industrial safety law, which punishes owners or bosses of firms with at least a year in prison, or fines of up to 1 billion won ($717,000; £530,000), for fatal incidents.Prosecutors had sought a 20-year term, arguing that company executives had made...

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan raised concerns about her image being used in deepfakes
Bollywood stars fight for personality rights amid deepfake surge
MUMBAI — In the past couple of weeks, some of Bollywood's biggest celebrities have sought to legally protect their "personality rights". The list includes director Karan Johar, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and her husband and actor Abhishek Bachchan.Personality rights, also called publicity rights, refer to a person's right to benefit, commercially or otherwise, from their identity or persona. This includes the person's name, image, voice, mannerisms or even a catchphrase or gesture that's unique to them.These rights also protect a person's identity from being misused or commercially exploited, and do not extend beyond the individual.So, a celebrity can profit from their fame by endorsing a product for a fee, but their image cannot be used by another...

Trump lashes out at UN as ‘feckless institution’ in combative General Assembly speech
NEW YORK — U.S. President Donald Trump castigated the United Nations on Tuesday as a “feckless institution” in a grievance-filled, self-congratulatory speech to the General Assembly that mixed sharp criticism of allies with boasts of his second-term record.In his roughly hourlong address, Trump praised America’s direction under his leadership while warning that Europe would be “ruined” if it continued pursuing what he called a “double-tailed monster” of liberal migration policies and costly green energy projects.He accused the U.N. of being full of “empty words” that fail to resolve wars, yet later told Secretary-General Antonio Guterres the U.S. remained “100%” behind the organization’s peacekeeping potential.The president’s remarks underscored Washington’s...

The EU wants to build a 'drone wall' across the Eastern flank
EU calls for drone wall to deter Russia after new incident in Denmark
BRUSSELS – The European Commission has reaffirmed its intention to build a drone defence system along the bloc's eastern flank to deter Russia from violating common airspace and respond rapidly to any such incursions.In less than one month, Russian aircraft have violated the airspace of three member states – Poland, Romania and Estonia – putting the continent on high alert.

The airport later reopened but warned of delays and cancelled departures. Norway's Oslo Airport was also disrupted.Police said they refrained from shooting down the aircraft because the risk was too great,...
