South Korea removes border propaganda speakers to ease tensions with North
SEOUL — South Korea has started to remove propaganda loudspeakers along its border with North Korea in an effort to reduce tensions, Seoul’s military said.The South's ministry clarified that the move marked a "practical measure aimed at easing tensions", but did not affect its military's readiness.The ministry did not provide specifics on the removal process, nor did it clarify whether the loudspeakers may be reinstalled if tensions rise again.Prior to the dismantling of the speakers, there had been no communication between the two Koreas, spokesperson for the ministry Lee Kyung-ho said.The speakers used to blare anti-North Korean propaganda and K-pop songs across the border, a move that hit a nerve as Kim Jong-un's government had been intensifying its campaign to...

Surrounded by security guards, Israel's far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, center, participates in march marking Jerusalem Day, Monday, May 26, 2025
Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir prays at al-Aqsa, violating decades-old agreement
JERUSALEM — Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited and prayed at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site on Sunday, the al-Aqsa compound, triggering a wave of regional condemnation and sparking fears of further escalations in tensions.The provocative move came as Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip continue, with at least 33 Palestinians killed on Sunday enroute to aid distribution points, as global criticisms mount over Israel manufacturing famine-like conditions in the besieged enclave.Ben-Gvir’s visit to the hillside compound threatens to further setback efforts by international mediators, such as Qatar and Egypt, to bring an end to Israel’s almost two-year military offensive on Gaza.The area, which Jews call the ‘Temple Mount’, is the holiest...

Democrats flee Texas to block Republican redistricting map backed by Trump
WASHINGTON — Democratic state lawmakers have fled Texas in a bid to stop a vote on a new congressional map that would heavily favour Republicans.The redistricting, unveiled by Texas' majority Republicans last week and backed by President Donald Trump, would create five new Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives.Two-thirds of the 150-member Texas legislature must be present in order to hold a vote. Fifty-one Democratic lawmakers have fled, most of them to Illinois, denying Republicans the required quorum.They said they plan to stay away for two weeks until the end of a special legislative session convened by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott.The session is being held to approve the redistricting, as well as provide disaster relief for last month's deadly...

Chinese students in UK told to spy on classmates, report says
LONDON — Chinese students at UK universities are being pressured to spy on their classmates in an attempt to suppress the discussion of issues that are sensitive to the Chinese government, a new report suggests.The UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank says its survey of academics in China studies also highlighted reports of Chinese government officials warning lecturers to avoid discussing certain topics in their classes.It comes days after a new law came into force placing more responsibility on universities to uphold academic freedom and free speech.The Chinese embassy in London called the report "groundless and absurd", adding that China respects freedom of speech in the UK and elsewhere.The regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), says freedom of speech and academic...

Ong Beng Seng helped bring the Formula 1 Grand Prix to Singapore
F1 tycoon pleads guilty in rare Singapore corruption case
SINGAPORE — A Singapore-based billionaire hotelier has pleaded guilty to a charge connected to a rare corruption scandal that shocked the country last year.Ong Beng Seng has admitted to abetting the obstruction of justice by helping ex-transportation minister Subramaniam Iswaran cover up evidence while he was being investigated for corruption.Ong had been accused of giving expensive gifts, including tickets to the Formula 1 Grand Prix and a ride on a private jet, to Iswaran while they were engaged in official business.Ministers in Singapore cannot keep gifts unless they pay the market value of the gift to the government, and they must declare anything they receive from people they have business dealings with.At Iswaran's sentencing last October, the court heard that Iswaran requested...
