Sweden seizes ship after suspected Baltic Sea cable sabotage
STOCKHOLM — Swedish authorities have seized a ship suspected of damaging a data cable running under the Baltic Sea to Latvia.Prosecutors said an initial investigation pointed to sabotage, and an inquiry has been launched involving Sweden's police, military, and coast guard.Earlier on Sunday, Latvia's military reported that two ships were seen in the area where the damage occurred.The apparent attack comes less than a month after Nato launched a new mission in the Baltic Sea in response to repeated attacks on underwater power and telecom cables – some of which have been blamed on Russia.Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina said her country was working closely with Sweden and Nato in response to the incident.The cable belongs to Latvia's state broadcaster, LVRTC, which said in...

Bird feathers found in engines of crashed Jeju Air jet
SEOUL — Investigators say they have found evidence of a bird strike on a passenger plane that crashed in South Korea in December and killed 179 people.The feathers and blood stains on both engines of the Jeju Air plane were from the Baikal teal, a type of migratory duck that files in large flocks, according to a preliminary investigation report published on Monday.The inquiry into the crash - the deadliest on South Korean soil - will now focus on the role of the bird strike and a concrete structure at the end of the runway, which the plane crashed into.The engines of the Boeing 737-800 will be torn down and the concrete structure will be examined further, the report said.The Jeju Air plane took off from Bangkok in the morning of 29 December and was flying to Muan International Airport in...

Colombia backs down on deportation flights after Trump tariffs threat
WASHINGTON — The US will not go ahead with tariffs on Colombia, after Bogota agreed to accept — without restrictions — deported migrants, the White House says.Donald Trump had ordered 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods after its president barred two US military deportation flights from landing in the country on Sunday.Colombian President Gustavo Petro had initially responded by saying his country would accept repatriated citizens on "civilian planes, without treating them like criminals".A White House statement says Colombia has now agreed to accept migrants arriving on US military aircraft "without limitation or delay". Colombia said dialogue would be maintained to "guarantee the dignity of our citizens".The White House has hailed the agreement with...

Trump wants neighbors to take in Palestinians to 'clean out' Gaza
JERUSALEM — US President Donald Trump has said he wants Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza.Trump said he had made the request to Jordan's King Abdullah and planned to ask Egypt's president on Sunday, too.Describing Gaza as a "demolition site", Trump said: "You're talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing". He added that the move "could be temporary" or "could be long-term".Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority condemned the proposal. Jordan and Egypt have also rejected the idea.A ceasefire is being observed in Gaza after a deal between Israel and Hamas to halt the war which began when Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023.

Lebanon ceasefire deal extended as initial deadline passes
BEIRUT — The US and Lebanon say the ceasefire deal with Israel — which had been due to expire on Sunday — has been extended until mid-February.Israel had kept troops deployed in Lebanon beyond the initial deadline, accusing the Lebanese government of not fully implementing its part of the deal, which required the removal of Hezbollah from the area.On Sunday, the Lebanese health ministry said Israeli soldiers killed 22 people and wounded 124 others who were trying to return to their homes in the country's south.Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati says, following contact from the US, the truce will now remain in place until 18 February.The initial ceasefire plan, announced in late November, brought an end to 14 months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese armed group...

Kakoli Das and her daughter Isha, who tragically lost their son and brother when he drowned while going to a neighbor
Three children drown every day in India's wetlands, but mothers are fighting back
NEW DELHI — Mangala Pradhan will never forget the morning she lost her one-year-old son.It was 16 years ago, in the unforgiving Sundarbans — a vast, harsh delta of 100 islands in India's West Bengal state. Her son Ajit, just beginning to walk, was full of life: frisky, restless, and curious about the world.That morning, like so many others, the family was busy with their daily chores. Mangala had fed Ajit breakfast and taken him to the kitchen as she cooked. Her husband was out buying vegetables, and her ailing mother-in-law rested in another room.But little Ajit, always eager to explore, slipped away unnoticed. Mangala shouted for her mother-in-law to watch him, but there was no reply. Minutes later, when she realized how quiet it had become, panic set in."Where is my boy?...

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol arrives for his impeachment trial
Impeached South Korean president charged with insurrection
SEOUL — South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has been charged with insurrection after he attempted to declare martial law in December.His ill-fated attempt to impose military rule plunged the country into an unprecedented political crisis and he became the first sitting president in South Korean history to be charged with a crime.The indictment comes after a court in Seoul rejected a request to extend Yoon's detention on Saturday, which meant prosecutors had to make a decision on whether to charge or release him before Monday."The punishment of the ringleader of insurrection now begins finally," Han Min-soo, a spokesman from the main opposition Democratic Party told a press conference.Yoon's legal team criticised the indictment and pledged to expose any...

CIA shifts toward lab leak theory on COVID-19 origins: Report
WASHINGTON — The CIA now leans toward the theory that the coronavirus pandemic may have resulted from an accidental lab leak in China rather than a natural transmission from a wet market, according to a report Saturday by The New York Times.The agency’s revised assessment does not stem from new intelligence but rather a fresh interpretation of existing evidence, officials familiar with the matter told the newspaper.The analysis reportedly includes closer scrutiny of conditions at high-security laboratories in Wuhan, China, in the period leading up to the outbreak.A CIA spokesperson cautioned that other theories remain viable, emphasizing that the agency will continue to assess any credible new intelligence.The CIA has previously maintained uncertainty about whether the pandemic began...

BEIRUT — Three Lebanese citizens were killed and 44 others injured on Sunday by Israeli gunfire as people attempted to return to their homes in southern Lebanon, local media reported.The state-run National News Agency (NNA) identified the towns where fatalities occurred as Aitaroun, Hula, and Blida.According to the reports, Israeli forces opened fire on residents who were seeking to access their areas in southern Lebanon.Tensions escalated when the Israeli army failed to withdraw from Lebanese territory by the 60-day deadline that expired on Sunday.Under the ceasefire agreement reached on Nov. 27, Israel was required to pull back its troops south of the Blue Line—the de facto border—within 60 days, while the Lebanese army would deploy across southern Lebanon.The Lebanese army urged...
