New Zealand rejects rights bill after widespread outrage
WELLINGTON — A controversial bill seeking to reinterpret New Zealand's founding document, which established the rights of both Māori and non-Māori in the country, has been defeated at its second reading.The Treaty Principles Bill was voted down 112 votes to 11, days after a government committee recommended that it should not proceed.The proposed legislation sought to legally define the principles of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi — causing widespread outrage that saw more than 40,000 people taking part in a protest outside parliament last year.The bill had already been widely expected to fail, with most major political parties committed to voting it down.Members of the right-wing Act Party, which tabled it, were the only MPs to vote for it at the second reading on Thursday....

Australia declines China's offer to 'join hands' on Trump tariffs
SYDNEY — Australia has swiftly turned down China's offer to "join hands" against Donald Trump's tariffs, as Washington escalates its trade war with Beijing.The White House recently imposed an import tax of 10% on Australian goods, but for China — Australia's biggest trading partner — raised tariffs to 125%.China's ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian argued joint resistance is "the only way" to stop the "hegemonic and bullying behavior of the US", appealing for Canberra's cooperation in an opinion piece on Thursday.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, however, said Australians would "speak for ourselves", while the country's defense minister said the nation would not be "holding China's hand"."It's about...

South Korea fires warning shots after North Korean troops cross border
SEOUL — South Korea’s military fired warning shots at a group of North Korean soldiers who crossed the border on Tuesday, according to Seoul government officials.It has been almost a year since the last report of troops from North Korea violating the heavily fortified demarcation line between the two countries.In a statement, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said about 10 North Korean soldiers — some of whom had weapons — stepped across the border at 5pm on Tuesday in the eastern section of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ).The group returned to North Korea after South Korea broadcast warnings and fired warning shots, the statement added.The 248km-long and 4km-wide DMZ, a legacy of the 1950-1953 Korean War, is among the most dangerous border areas in the world, with an estimated 2...

Four people died and six were seriously injured
Faulty antenna played role in fatal Australian helicopter crash
BRISBANE — A faulty radio antenna contributed to a deadly mid-air helicopter collision at an Australian theme park and resort, transport safety officials say.Four people died — including two British tourists — and several more were seriously injured when the two aircraft hit each other in January 2023, near Sea World on the Gold Coast.An investigation by Australia's Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) found one of the pilots did not hear a vital radio call shortly before the accident, and that a series of changes by Sea World meant risk controls were over time eroded.The accident rocked the Gold Coast, one of the nation's biggest tourist hotspots.The two helicopters collided around 20 seconds after one had taken off and as the other was landing.Those who died were all...

Sick sea lions attacking beachgoers in California
LOS ANGELES — For 20 years, Rj LaMendola found peace while paddling in the water on his surfboard.But last month off the coast of Southern California, the ocean turned hostile after a sea lion lunged at him, bit him and dragged him off his board."It looked possessed," LaMendola wrote in a Facebook post, saying the animal involved in the encounter just north of Los Angeles was "feral, almost demonic".The surfer later learned the animal was suffering from domoic acid toxicosis — a neurological condition caused by a harmful algal bloom. It's one of dozens of sickened animals that have been spotted across California beaches recently — many suffering from symptoms like seizures or intense lethargy. The toxin often leads to death.This particular algae bloom has...

Beijing vows to 'fight to the end' as Trump threatens 50% more tariffs
BEIJING — China declared it would “fight to the end” after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% in tariffs on all Chinese imports. The trade war between the world’s two largest economies intensified, with both sides showing little inclination to negotiate.Trump had already announced new tariffs last Wednesday, including 34% import levies on Chinese goods. In response, China imposed 34% tariffs on US goods two days later. On Monday, Trump warned of more tariffs if China does not withdraw its retaliatory tariffs.“If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th,” he posted on social media.
