'Cryptocrash king' Do Kwon pleads guilty to fraud
NEW YORK — A South Korean former tech executive accused of helping to spark a cryptocurrency crisis that cost investors more than $40bn (£31.8bn) has pleaded guilty to two criminal counts of fraud.Do Kwon was the boss of Singapore-based Terraform Labs, which operated two cryptocurrencies - TerraUSD and Luna - both of which collapsed in 2022, triggering a wider sell-off in the crypto market.The US says he was responsible for the failure of the two digital currencies, accusing him of "orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud".As part of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to refrain from seeking a sentence longer than 12 years.

Israel’s Netanyahu has ‘lost the plot,’ New Zealand leader Luxon says
AUCKLAND — New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Wednesday that his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost the plot” and that Israel’s planned occupation of Gaza City is “utterly unacceptable.”Luxon’s comments come as his conservative coalition government weighs whether to join other members of the Five-Eyes security alliance, Australia, Britain and Canada, in moving to recognize a Palestinian state; and as international condemnation and anger builds over Israel’s recent decision to expand its war to take control of Gaza City, the throttling of aid and mass starvation in the enclave.Luxon, who leads the right-leaning National Party, said Netanyahu is “not listening” to the international community’s demands for “unfettered” humanitarian aid to...

European leaders hope to sway Trump on Ukraine during virtual meeting
BRUSSELS — European leaders will on Wednesday use a virtual meeting with Donald Trump to try to ensure the US president truly understands what is at stake for the continent before he meets Vladimir Putin later this week, but experts are doubtful they will succeed.Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, will join a meeting convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the early afternoon (central European time) that will also include the leaders of Finland, France, Italy, Poland, the UK, the NATO Secretary-General and the chiefs of the European Commission and Council.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will also take part from Berlin where he will meet with Merz.The German Chancellor, France's Emmanuel Macron and British premier Keir Starmer will then chair a meeting of the...

US officials race to prepare for historic Trump-Putin summit
WASHINGTON — American officials scrambling this weekend to identify and lock down a venue for Friday’s summit between President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart quickly discovered a major snag: summertime is peak tourist season in Alaska, and options both available and equipped to host the two world leaders were severely limited.When word reached certain prominent Alaskans that Trump and Putin were coming, a few began reaching out to the president’s allies with a proposition: could their home be an option? It’s unclear if those offers ever reached White House officials, who were calling sites in Juneau, the state capital, along with Anchorage and Fairbanks.Organizers of the summit soon came to believe the only city in the massive state with viable options for the summit...

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...
