RSS, India's most powerful Hindu organization, marks centenary
NAGPUR, India — The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu extremist organisation whose work played a large role in propelling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power, has celebrated its centenary with an event attended by thousands of members.In a speech at RSS headquarters in the western city of Nagpur, its chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed a range of topics, including the conflict with Pakistan earlier this year, climate change, economic inequality and political turmoil in India's neighboring countries."The world functions through dependence on each other. That is how relations between any two nations are maintained. No country can survive in isolation," he said, echoing Modi's emphasis on self-reliance in the context of Donald Trump's hefty tariffs on...

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) election candidates pose at a joint press conference in Tokyo, Japan, on September 23, 2025
Japan’s ruling party is in crisis as voters swing to right-wing rivals
TOKYO — Japan’s ruling party is in trouble, and it knows it.The country is rife with political instability, having cycled through four prime ministers in the last five years – all members of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).And while the LDP has ruled Japan almost continuously for the last 30 years, it’s now in a precarious position as it prepares to vote for a new party leader on Saturday – mired in scandal, widely unpopular, and abandoned by longtime supporters who have instead flocked to new right-wing parties.The next party leader could very well become the country’s next prime minister, but even that’s not guaranteed; voters delivered a clear rebuke in the past two parliamentary elections, delivering seats to opposition parties and stripping the LDP of its majority.Key...

Relatives of students missing in a boarding school collapse in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, on September 30, 2025
Five students pulled alive from collapsed Indonesia school
SIDOARJO, Indonesia — A rescue team crouched under huge slabs of concrete and corrugated iron as they carefully slid 13-year-old Syailendra Haikal to safety from the twisted wreckage of a collapsed Indonesian boarding school; a brief glimmer of hope in the middle of a disaster.Haikal was taken to hospital with moderate injuries, authorities said. But as the search at the Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo, about 420 miles east of Jakarta, entered its fourth day on Thursday, Indonesian authorities made the agonizing decision to move from rescue to recovery.Teams have for days meticulously tunneled under the rubble, crawling on their hands and knees searching for signs of life, knowing the unstable structure could again buckle upon them.Relief and despair have punctuated their...

Patterson was sentenced to life in prison for murdering three relatives
Mushroom killer to appeal against guilty verdict
SINGAPORE — Australia's mushroom murderer Erin Patterson intends to appeal against her conviction, her lawyer has told a court in Melbourne.Earlier last month, Patterson was sentenced to life in jail after a jury found her guilty of killing three relatives and attempting to kill another by serving them a toxic beef Wellington laced with poisonous mushrooms.She maintained her innocence during the 11-week long trial, claiming that the disastrous meal had been an accident.No details of the proposed grounds for appeal were given during Thursday's brief administrative hearing, and the appeal has not yet been formally lodged.An appeal is not an automatic right — her legal team must convince the appeal court in the state of Victoria that there were legal errors and that they should...

MANILA — At least 69 people have been killed and dozens injured after a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines late on Tuesday.The province of Cebu, which suffered the brunt of the damage, declared a state of calamity early on Wednesday, after thousands spent the night on the streets amid repeated aftershocks.One Cebu resident told the BBC he was among them, adding that power and water supplies were cut off.

MANILA — A powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines late Tuesday, killing more than 60 people and raising fears of considerable destruction.The shallow earthquake struck around 10 p.m. local time, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), just west of Palompon and close to the city of Bogo in Cebu province.A quake of this strength in the region could cause casualties and damage to poorly built structures, early survey models suggest.Cebu Governor Pam Baricuatro said in a post on Facebook that “a total of 27 individuals were reported dead and 143 others sustained various injuries” after the quake.Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippine Red Cross, said in a telephone interview that at least 13 people, including three members of the Philippine Coast Guard...

Australia sunscreen scandal grows as more products pulled off shelves
SYDNEY — A sunscreen scandal in Australia is continuing to grow, with 18 products now pulled from shelves in the skin cancer hotspot over safety concerns.Analysis by a consumer advocacy group in June found several popular and expensive sunscreens did not provide the protection claimed by their makers.One product, Ultra Violette's Lean Screen Skinscreen, is supposed to offer a skin protection factor (SPF) of 50+ but instead returned a result of SPF 4 and was voluntarily recalled in August.An investigation by the medicines regulator has now warned about 20 more sunscreens from other brands, which share the same base formula, and raised "significant concerns" about a testing laboratory."The preliminary testing indicates that this base formulation is unlikely to have an...
