Asian scam operations worth €35 billion spreading across the world, UN warns
GENEVA — Transnational organized crime groups in East and Southeast Asia are spreading their lucrative scam operations across the globe in response to increased crackdowns by authorities, according to a UN report issued on Monday.For several years, scam compounds have proliferated in Southeast Asia, especially in the border areas of Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, as well as in the Philippines, with scammers shifting operations from site to site to stay one step ahead of the police.More recently, scam centres that have cheated victims out of billions of dollars through false romantic ploys, bogus investment pitches and illegal gambling schemes are now being reported operating as far afield as Africa and Latin America.Asian crime syndicates have been expanding operations deeper into remote...

Harvard sues Trump administration, taking the fight over federal funding to court
WASHINGTON — Harvard University sued the Trump administration Monday in a new escalation of the fight over institutional oversight, independence and federal funding for the Ivy League school.University President Alan M. Garber said in a letter to the Harvard community that the administration’s recent actions — including a $2.2 billion federal funding freeze at Harvard, with even more money potentially on the line — “have stark real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, and the standing of American higher education in the world.”The Trump administration is demanding Harvard give it access to all university reports on antisemitism and anti-Muslim bias on campus generated since October 2023, as it ramps up a confrontation with the school that risks...

Canada's top candidates talk up fossil fuels as climate slips down agenda
ONTARIO — As the threat posed by US President Donald Trump tops Canada's federal election agenda, the issue of the country's contribution to global warming has been largely overshadowed.The two main contenders are pushing plans for new energy infrastructure as the country seeks to pivot away from its reliance on the US.Mark Carney's Liberals are promising to make Canada a global superpower in both conventional and green energy. The Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre want to invigorate the oil and gas sector and scrap the industrial carbon tax.It's a big shift from the 2021 election, when the environment topped the list of voter concerns.In that vote, there was a consensus between the two major parties that Canada should rapidly transition to a green economy, with a...

Africa remembers Pope who spoke for the continent
NAIROBI — Millions of African Catholics, as well as the continent's leaders, are mourning a man who they felt spoke for Africa.Home to nearly a fifth of the Church's followers, or 272 million people, Africa is becoming increasingly important in the Catholic world, and observers say Pope Francis did a lot to raise the profile of the continent within the institution.Heads of state reflected the sentiments of many describing how the late Pope spoke out for the marginalised.Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu called him a "tireless champion of the poor" and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted his "world view of inclusion [and] equality".The Vatican says that over the past year, seven million Africans have converted to Catholicism, making the...

World's Catholics mourn Pope's Easter death
ROME — From the Vatican to the Philippines, Catholics were spending their Easter Monday saying goodbye to their spiritual leader Pope Francis.His death comes at one of the most important times of the year for followers of the Roman Catholic Church, and less than 24 hours after the ailing Pope addressed worshipers in St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday.That timing is not lost on Catholics."He [God] chose the most beautiful day for the Christian Church — he couldn't have chosen a better day," said Father Sergio Codera, a Salesian priest from Spain.He continued: "It [Easter] is the most important occasion Christians celebrate, when we celebrate that death does not have the final word."And it has been this day that God has chosen for Pope Francis to meet...

Pope Francis dies aged 88
ROME — Pope Francis, a voice for the poor who overcame fierce resistance to reshape the Catholic Church, died on Easter Monday at the age of 88, the Vatican announced.The pope passed away the morning after the holiest day in the Christian year, when the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Despite his poor health, Francis was seen a number of times in public at the Vatican during Holy Week, culminating in an Easter Sunday appearance where he delighted crowds at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.The pope’s death was announced “with deep sorrow” by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo, who said Francis died at 7:35 a.m local time (1.35 a.m. ET).

VATICAN CITY — The head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis has died at 88 after a short illness.The pontiff was admitted to hospital in February with a respiratory tract infection, having suffered various ailments in his final years. Despite his declining health, he had firmly and repeatedly made clear that unlike his predecessor, he had no intention of resigning the papacy.Born in Argentina in 1936, Jorge Mario Bergoglio took over the papacy in 2013 after Benedict XVI stood down. At the time the Jesuit Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he was the first pope from the Americas, and had already become a high-profile figure in Latin America in general, particularly thanks to his public statements during Argentina’s financial crisis in the early 2000s.As Pope Francis, he projected a more...

Palestinian Red Crescent says Israeli report into Gaza medics' killings 'full of lies'
JERUSALEM — The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has described an Israeli military report into a deadly attack on its paramedics as "full of lies".The Israeli military said in its report that "professional failures" led to the killing of the 15 workers in Gaza. It dismissed the deputy commander of the unit involved.A spokeswoman for the PRCS said the report was "invalid" as it "justifies and shifts the responsibility to a personal error in the field command when the truth is quite different".Fourteen emergency workers and a UN worker were killed on 23 March after a convoy of PRCS ambulances, a UN car and a fire truck came under fire by the Israeli military.The UN's humanitarian chief in Gaza suggested the investigation did not go far...
