Putin rejects Western security in Ukraine, warns foregin troops would be legitimate targets
VLADIVOSTOK — Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected Western proposals for a "reassurance force" in Ukraine the day after any ceasefire comes into place, following a Paris summit aimed at finalising plans for security guarantees. French President Emmanuel Macron said 26 of Ukraine's allies had formally committed to deploying troops "by land, sea or air" to help provide security the moment fighting was brought to a halt. Putin sought to quash the allies' initiative, with a warning that any troops deployed to Ukraine would be "legitimate targets", especially if they appeared now, even though there are no plans for an immediate deployment."If any troops appear there, especially now, during the fighting, we assume that they will be...

Delivery riders are a key group taking part in the protests
Indonesia protests spark support from Asian neighbors
JAKARTA — Indonesia's protests which escalated following the killing of a delivery rider have sparked a drive among South East Asians to show their support through delivery apps.Some in neighboring Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Thailand are using the popular Grab and Gojek apps to order food in Indonesia for delivery riders, a key group taking part in the protests.Last week's killing of Gojek driver Affan Kurniawan led to public anger boiling over as protesters clashed with police and set fire to government buildings.At least 10 people have died in the demonstrations over the cost of living and social inequality, which have taken place in several cities across Indonesia.In recent days, the hashtag #SEAblings — a play on South East Asia's acronym — has gone viral on...

US sanctions Palestinian rights groups who asked top court for Israel war crimes investigation
WASHINGTON — The US State Department has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the International Criminal Court to investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over accusations of war crimes in Gaza.Late last year the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and a now deceased senior Hamas official.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the US will sanction the three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan), and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – for engaging in what he called the ICC’s “illegitimate targeting of Israel.”The organizations “have directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest,...

Former leader leaves Thailand in private jet days before court ruling that could see him imprisoned
BANGKOK — Thailand’s influential former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra suddenly left the country on his private jet Thursday days before a court ruling that could see him imprisoned, raising speculation that he might not return to face the verdict.His departure came a day before Thailand’s parliament was set to pick a new prime minister and install a new government Friday; the ruling Pheu Thai party, which Thaksin founded, was widely expected to lose power.Thaksin, 76, spent 15 years in self-imposed exile after being ousted from office in a 2006 military coup. His daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who became Thailand’s youngest prime minister last year, was removed from office a week ago following an ethics probe.Over the past 25 years, Thaksin has built one of the country’s...
