Last year's violence was the worst Bangladesh had seen since its 1971 war of independence
Crackdown on Bangladesh protesters may be crime against humanity, UN says
DHAKA — Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her government tried to cling on to power using systematic, deadly violence against protesters that could amount to "crimes against humanity", the UN has said.UN human rights investigators accused the deposed government of a brutal response to mass opposition last year, in which they said up to 1,400 people had been killed, mostly by security forces.The UN team said "an official policy to attack and violently repress anti-government protesters" had been directed by political leaders and senior security officials.Hasina, who had been in office for 15 years, fled by helicopter to India shortly before crowds stormed her residence last August.The unrest began as student-led protests against quotas in civil service...

Police and the state's healthcare watchdog are investigating the incident
Australian nurses suspended over 'vile' video
SYDNEY — Two Australian nurses have been suspended after a video appeared to show them threatening to kill Israeli patients and boasting about refusing to treat them.The man and woman — both employees at a Sydney hospital — are now being investigated by police, officials in New South Wales (NSW) said.State Health Minister Ryan Park said that a "thorough investigation" would be carried out to make sure there had been "no adverse [patient] outcomes", but that a "rapid" examination of hospital records had not turned up anything unusual.Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the video as "sickening and shameful" after it began circulating online.It comes less than a week after Australia passed tougher laws against hate crimes...

China has emerged as one of the world's largest players in the global generic pharmaceutical market
'Ineffective' generic drugs fuel rare public anger in China
BEIJING — Public anger in China over concerns raised by doctors that generic drugs used in public hospitals are increasingly ineffective has led to a rare response from the government.Doctors say they believe the country's drug procurement system, which incentivizes the use of cheap generic drugs over original brand-name pharmaceuticals, has led to costs being cut at the expense of people's safety.But officials, quoted by multiple state media outlets on Sunday, say the issue is one of perception rather than reality.One report said different people simply had different reactions to medicines and that claims about them being ineffective had "mostly come from people's anecdotes and subjective feelings".The official response has done little to allay public fears over...

Trump shows an executive order he has just signed
Legal showdown looms as Trump tests limits of presidential power
WASHINGTON — In the first weeks of his second term, President Donald Trump has wasted no time in flexing his political muscle. That much is clear.Since taking office in January, he has ordered the suspension of all new asylum claims, canceled refugee resettlement, frozen government hiring and spending, gutted agencies established by Congress, banned gender transition care for teenagers and offered a buyout deal for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.The whirlwind of unilateral action on his campaign promises has pushed the limits of presidential power – and prompted legal challenges from Democrats, unions and legal groups. So far the federal courts have been the only substantive roadblocks to Trump's agenda, as judges have temporarily suspended some of the most contentious...

Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered Israeli forces to amass inside and around Gaza
Israel says Gaza ceasefire will end if Hamas does not free hostages by Saturday
TEL AVIV — Israel's prime minister has warned Hamas it will end the ceasefire in Gaza and resume intense fighting if the Palestinian group "does not return our hostages by Saturday noon [10:00 GMT]".Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered Israeli forces to amass inside and around Gaza in response to Hamas's announcement that it was postponing freeing more hostages until further notice.Netanyahu did not specify whether he was demanding the release of all 76 remaining hostages, or just the three due to be freed this Saturday — but a minister said he meant "everyone".Hamas responded by saying it remained committed to the ceasefire deal and that Israel was "responsible for any complications or delays".The group has accused Israel of violating the...

More than 100 trapped fishermen rescued from ice floe in Russia’s Far East
MOSCOW — More than 100 fishermen were rescued from a sheet of floating ice that drifted into waters off Russia’s remote Far East, authorities said Wednesday.The 139 fishermen became stranded when a 10-meter (32 feet) crack formed an ice floe that broke away from the island of Sakhalin and floated into the Sea of Okhotsk between Russia and Japan, emergency services said on Telegram.Videos shared by responders showed fishermen being escorted away amid strong winds in an operation that involved an Mi-8 helicopter and a Khivus hovercraft, which can travel on ice and water.Not everyone was happy to see rescue workers, however.Earlier, emergency services said “some extreme sports enthusiasts” among those trapped on the ice had refused to leave without a catch.It is not uncommon for...

Trump’s foreign aid freeze: Patients lifted from hospital beds risk death in Thailand
MAE SOT, Thailand — Plastic tubes meander from Rosella’s nose to a nearby oxygen tank that’s bigger than she is, as she flicks through a book of her drawings: a flower, a house, a chicken.The 9-year-old needs non-stop medical attention for the bone condition she was born with that has left her ribs pushing dangerously on her lungs, one of which is not working as it should.“She cannot breathe properly,” her mother, Rebecca, 27, tells CNN via video call. “She needs a constant supply of oxygen.” But she doesn’t know how long it will last.Rosella and her mother are refugees living in one of nine remote camps dotted along Thailand’s mountainous border with Myanmar.About 100,000 people live in the camps, having fled decades of fighting between the Myanmar military and ethnic...

The sinkhole in Yashio city is believed to be caused by a sewer rupture
Japan truck found in pipe weeks after falling in sinkhole
TOKYO — A truck cabin that was swallowed by a sinkhole in Japan two weeks ago has been located in a nearby sewer pipe, authorities say.Drone images suggest that a human body is inside the cabin, but it is unclear if it is that of the truck's missing 74-year-old driver.The sinkhole, which now measures 40m (131ft) in diameter, opened at a road intersection in Yashio city near Tokyo. It is believed to be caused by a sewer rupture.Search teams are unable to enter the 5m-wide pipe due to continuous water flow and high levels of hydrogen sulfide or sewer gas, Saitama Governor Motohiro Ono said.They will need to install a temporary bypass pipe to stop the water flow and access the truck. That process could take three months, Ono said.While rescuers were able to pull the truck's loading...
