Fury over corruption and 'nepo babies' as floods paralyze Philippines
MANILA — Crissa Tolentino has long been resigned to floods as a way of life.The 36-year-old public school teacher takes a paddle boat through the inundated streets nearly every day. It's the only way to travel from her home in the suburbs to the heart of Apalit, a low-lying town near the Philippine capital Manila.The boat takes her to work, and to the clinic where she is being treated for cancer. She says she only sees dry streets for about two months in the year.But this year she is very angry.An unusually fierce monsoon has derailed daily life more than ever in the South East Asian nation, and sparked anger and allegations about corruption in flood control projects.The rains have stranded millions mid-commute, left cars floating in streets that have turned into rivers and caused...

Controversial church leader denies bribing ex-South Korea first lady
SINGAPORE — The leader of the controversial Unification Church has denied allegations that her organisation bribed South Korea's former first lady with luxury gifts in exchange for business favours.Han Hak-ja flatly rejected claims that she directed the bribery when confronted by reporters as she emerged from nine hours of questioning at the prosecutor's office."No... Why would I do that?" said the 82-year-old widow of the church's founder Moon Sun-myung, who had to be supported by assistants as she walked.Former first lady Kim Keon Hee, the wife of ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, is accused of accepting two Chanel bags and a diamond necklace, together worth 80 million won ($57,900; £42,500), from the church.Kim was indicated last month for various charges,...

Thousands of displaced Palestinians are attempting to move south on Tuesday after Israeli forces launched a ground assault on Gaza City
Palestinians flee Gaza City as Israel launches ground assault amid global outcry
JERUSALEM — Israel said it launched an expanded ground assault on Gaza City on Tuesday in defiance of international condemnation, as Palestinians fled the enclave’s largest urban area in waves amid escalating bombardment.The long-anticipated incursion began on the outskirts of the city, Israeli officials said, where Israel’s military has accelerated its airstrikes and the destruction of high-rise towers over the last week.“Gaza is burning,” Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on Tuesday. He said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was “striking terror infrastructures” and working to secure “the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is at a “critical stage” in the war as it attacks Gaza City, which his government...

Fuel tankers set ablaze as militants enforce blockade of key Senegal-Mali trade route
BAMAKO – Mali's military government has sought to calm anger over a blockade by militants on major highways where lorry drivers have been facing ambushes and arson attacks.In a rare acknowledgement of the seriousness of the situation affecting the landlocked country, Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maïga has said measures are under way to improve security on the routes.The blockade – a potentially serious escalation of Mali's Islamist insurgency – is particularly affecting the supply of fuel, which could cripple the country.The Sahel region of West Africa is known as the epicentre of global terrorism, accounting for more than 50% of all terrorism-related deaths.Several analysts say the aim of the al-Qaeda-linked militants is to impose a blockade of the capital, Bamako.The blockade...

Syria's worst drought in decades pushes millions to the brink
DAMASCUS – The wheat fields outside Seqalbia, near the Syrian city of Hama, should be golden and heavy with grain.Instead, Maher Haddad's 40 dunums (10 acres) are dry and empty, barely yielding a third of their usual harvest."This year was disastrous due to drought," said the 46-year-old farmer, reflecting on the land that cost him more to sow than it gave back.His fields delivered only 190kg (418 lbs) of wheat per dunum – far below the 400-500kg he relies on in a normal year."We haven't recovered what we spent on agriculture; we've lost money. I can't finance next year and I can't cover the cost of food and drink," Haddad told the BBC.With two teenage daughters to feed, he is now borrowing money from relatives to survive.Haddad's struggle is...

Top aid groups call on world leaders to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza
JERUSALEM – After an independent United Nations inquiry has concluded for the first time that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the heads of more than 20 aid agencies have called on world leaders to “urgently intervene” in the war in the devastated territory.With an estimated 65,000 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks so far in Gaza, including more than 20,000 children, the agencies warned early on Wednesday that almost 1 million more people are now “on the precipice of an even deadlier period in Gaza’s story if action is not taken”.“The inhumanity of the situation in Gaza is unconscionable,” the groups said in a joint statement, warning that Israel’s latest efforts to forcibly displace Gaza City’s population through a ground occupation are...
