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...

US officers tied us up and pointed guns at us, South Korean engineers say
SEOUL – When Youngjin looked out of his office window and saw armoured trucks and immigration enforcement officers running around with guns, he was surprised, but not worried.The young South Korean was certain it had nothing to do with him. He was in the US only for a few weeks on a short-term visa, he thought to himself.Then the armed agents burst into his room and ordered him outside. They handcuffed him, before attaching chains to his waist and ankles, and loaded him onto a bus bound for a detention centre."I panicked and my mind went blank. I felt sick," he told the BBC, now back home in South Korea."I couldn't understand why I was being treated like this."Youngjin is one of more than 300 Korean workers who were detained in the US state of Georgia earlier this...
