China cuts ties with Czech President Petr Pavel over meeting with Dalai Lama
BEIJING — China says it has suspended all ties with Czech President Petr Pavel over his recent meeting with the Dalai Lama, further straining relations between Beijing and Prague.During a private trip to India last month, Pavel met the exiled Tibetan leader to congratulate him on his 90th birthday.The Dalai Lama has been living in the Himalayan town of Dharamshala since fleeing Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959. Beijing sees Tibet as part of its territory and accuses the spiritual leader of being a separatist.The meeting "seriously contravenes the political commitment made by the Czech government to the Chinese government, and harms China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity," the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday."China strongly deplores and firmly...

Row over 'vote theft' shakes Indian politics
DELHI — A political row has erupted in India over allegations of "vote theft", with opposition parties accusing the country's election body of irregularities, which they say favoured the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 general elections.On Tuesday, parliament was adjourned after opposition MPs demanded a debate on the integrity of India's electoral process.A day earlier, dozens of opposition leaders, including Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, were briefly detained by the police in the capital Delhi, as they tried to march to the Election Commission of India's (ECI) headquarters.Gandhi first raised the issue at a 7 August press conference in Delhi, and has since managed to galvanise strong support from hundreds of opposition lawmakers.The Election...

Wife of South Korea's jailed ex-president arrested
SEOUL — The wife of South Korea's jailed former president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been arrested over a raft of charges, including stock manipulation and bribery.Former first lady Kim Keon Hee denied all charges during a four-hour court hearing in Seoul on Tuesday. But the court issued a detention warrant, citing the risk that she may destroy evidence.South Korea has a history of former presidents being indicted and imprisoned. However, this is the first time both the former president and former first lady have been jailed.Yoon was detained in January to face trial over a failed martial law bid last year that plunged the country into chaos and eventually led to his ouster.Prosecutors say Kim, 52, made over 800 million won ($577,940; £428,000) by participating in a price-rigging scheme...

KYIV — Small groups of Russian troops have pierced parts of Ukraine’s defenses in its eastern Donetsk region, according to local officials, as Russia appears to be making an 11th-hour dash to snatch as much territory as possible ahead of the planned meeting between President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump on Friday.Russian forces are making a push towards Dobropillia, the Ukrainian battlefield monitoring group DeepState reported Tuesday.

World oil demand will rise by 1.38 million barrels per day in 2026, the OPEC said in a monthly report, up 100,000 bpd from the previous forecast.
OPEC raises global oil demand forecast for 2026
VIENNA — The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Tuesday raised its global oil demand forecast for 2026. The organization also trimmed its forecast for growth in supply from the United States and other producers outside the wider OPEC+ group, pointing to a tighter market outlook. The outlook for higher demand and a drop in supply growth from outside OPEC+, which groups OPEC with Russia and other allies, would make it easier for OPEC+ to proceed with its plan to pump more barrels to regain market share after years of cuts aimed at supporting the market.World oil demand will rise by 1.38 million barrels per day in 2026, the OPEC said in a monthly report, up 100,000 bpd from the previous forecast. This year's expectation was left unchanged. In the report, OPEC also...
