US revoked 85,000 visas since January, State Department official says
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has revoked 85,000 visas of all categories since January, more than double the number pulled last year, according to a State Department official.The high number of revocations, which includes more than 8,000 student visas, come amid a broader push by the Trump administration to both target immigrants within the United States and limit who can come to the country.The department official said Monday that offenses like driving under the influence, assaults, and theft accounted for “almost half of the revocations in the past year.” They did not detail the reasons for the other half of the visa revocations this year, however, the department has previously also pointed to visa expirations and “support for terrorism” in justifying pulling visas.The...

Australia's social media ban for children has left big tech scrambling
SYDNEY — When Stephen Scheeler became Facebook's Australia chief in the early 2010s, he was a true believer in the power of the internet, and social media, for public good.It would herald a new era of global connection and democratise learning. It would let users build their own public squares without the traditional gatekeepers."There was that heady optimism phase when I first joined and I think a lot of the world shared that," he told the BBC.But by the time he left the firm in 2017, seeds of doubt about its work had been planted, and they've since bloomed."There's lots of good things about these platforms, but there's just too much bad stuff," he surmises.That's no longer an uncommon view as scrutiny of the largest social media companies has increased around...

Prince Harry's security in UK under review
LONDON — The Duke of Sussex's access to security when he visits the UK is under review, sources have told the BBC.In May, Prince Harry lost a legal case to have his police protection reinstated when visiting the UK.In a BBC interview after the ruling, he said it was not safe to bring his family back to the country of his birth because he could not guarantee their safety.It is understood a Home Office review will now look at whether he should automatically receive full police protection on visits to the UK even though he is no longer a working member of the royal family.Sources close to the prince say this level of security review is long overdue.According to The Sun newspaper, the process for reassessing the duke's threat level is already under way and a decision is expected...

Tokyo protests after Chinese fighter jets lock radar on Japanese planes
TOKYO — Japan has protested after Chinese fighter jets locked radars on Japanese aircraft as tensions between the two nations worsened.Locking radar onto an aircraft is considered a threat because it can signal a potential attack. Japan said there were two such incidents Saturday off its southern Okinawa islands.Japan said it scrambled fighter jets in response to the Chinese J-15 fighter jets, while Beijing accused Tokyo of "harassing" its forces during a training exercise.

Thailand launches airstrikes on Cambodia as Trump’s peace agreement hangs in balance
BANGKOK — Thailand launched airstrikes against Cambodia on Monday as a new wave of fighting erupted between the southeast Asian neighbors, leaving a peace plan presided over by US President Donald Trump just two months ago in danger of collapse.Both sides accused the other of launching strikes along their disputed border in the early morning hours, after weeks of simmering tension and the earlier suspension of progress on the ceasefire agreement by Thailand.The two nations have repeatedly fought brief border skirmishes in recent decades, with a deadly five-day conflict in July leaving dozens dead and displacing about 200,000 on both sides of the frontier.Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the country “never wished to see violence,” but would “not allow the...

Hamas willing to discuss ‘freezing or storing’ weapons, senior official says
DOHA — Hamas is willing to discuss “freezing or storing” its weapons, a senior official said on Sunday, amid concerns that the nascent ceasefire deal between Israel and the militant group could collapse.Speaking to the Associated Press in Qatar on Sunday, Bassem Naim said that Hamas is “very open minded” about what to do with its remaining weaponry.The US-brokered ceasefire deal requires Hamas to give up its arms under the supervision of independent monitors as part of the demilitarization of Gaza.Disarmament is a key part of the second phase of the 20-point ceasefire agreement.“We can talk about freezing or storing or laying down, with the Palestinian guarantees, not to use it at all during this ceasefire time or truce,” Naim told the AP.On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister...
