AI Summary:
Gyanendra Shah was crowned in 2001 after his elder brother and his family were killed in a mass murder that wiped out most of the royal family. He ruled as the constitutional head of state without executive or political powers until 2005, when he seized absolute power. The king disbanded the government and parliament, jailed politicians and journalists and cut off communications, declaring a state of emergency and using the army to rule the country. Rally participants said they were hoping for a change in the political system to stop the country from further deteriorating. “We are here to give the king our full support and to rally behind him all the way to reinstating him in the royal throne,” Thir Bahadur Bhandari, 72, told The Associated Press.

AI Summary:
A presidential election in the US is not a national referendum as much as it is 51 individual contests. Each state — plus the District of Columbia — has a proportional voice in choosing the president. Candidates must win individual states. Some states nearly always vote for the Democratic candidate. Others are reliably Republican. Certain states, however, are less predictable and as such are referred to as swing states and usually have a significant impact on the final outcome. In 2022, just a year into the Biden presidency, there were just more than 16,000 illegal border crossings. In December 2023, 250,000 people crossed the border illegally in one month. CBP recorded 8,450 apprehensions of migrants who crossed into the country illegally. A third item prominent in the minds of many Americans in 2024 was the war in Gaza. Trump promised that, if elected, a ceasefire would be in place even before he was officially sworn in. Biden had virtually no diplomatic relationship with the Arab community. A segment of Americans and some global citizens are aghast at the abrupt, boisterous way in which Trump conducts himself. If they take the time to look past the bluster, they will realise that the US, and indeed the world, need Trump at this moment in time.

Greenland's geo-political and economic importance is vital to the world, though much of the world may not realise it. The U.S and other global powers covet its strategic location in the Arctic; its valuable earth minerals trapped under the ice needed for telecommunications. If that ice melts, it would reshape coastlines across the globe and potentially shift weather patterns. Denmark accused of committing abuses against Greenland’s Inuit people.

AI Summary:
Amani Dweima has come to the salon with her daughter, Aya, 16. The 39-year-old wants her eyebrows shaped, and she wants a full face of makeup. There’s a wedding planned for that evening after iftar. Amani, who was displaced to Deir el-Balah and has recently returned to the north, didn’t think about going to a beautician at all in the early days of the war. Eventually, she came across a similar salon and started to go as regularly as she could. Beauty amid war Noor believes the war has been particularly cruel to women in Gaza – stripping them of their homes and security. Noor, in her early 30s, had been through a huge trauma when her parents and all her siblings were killed in an Israeli air raid. She gave her a full treatment – threading, eyebrow shaping, a haircut, even a free face massage and masque. For the first two months, her only thoughts were of survival and helping her family, she says. Amani sighs, running her fingers through her greying hair beneath her hijab. Noor shifted her attention to Aya, discussing the colour of her dress to choose matching makeup.

Most say they don’t want to be American, and many are worried and overwhelmed by the comments. Inuit Ataqatigiit party and Simiut party may continue to govern in a coalition, as they do now. The prime minister comes from the party with the most seats. Naleraq is the largest opposition party and has been growing in popularity. Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark with a population of about 56,000 people. Trump made a direct appeal to Greenlanders in his speech to Congress. "We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America," Trump said. The U.S and other global powers covet its strategic location in the Arctic. There’s also potential for shipping and trade routes as the ice that covers most of Greenland keeps retreating because of climate change. If that ice melts, it would reshape coastlines across the globe and potentially shift weather patterns.

Thousands of sick, exhausted and terrified young men and women squat in rows. They packed shoulder to shoulder, surgical masks covering their mouths and eyes. One young man from India said about 800 people were being held in the same facility as him. Cyber scams run from compounds have flourished during the pandemic. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes estimates that between $18 billion and $37 billion was lost in Asia alone in 2023. Thailand cut electricity, internet and gas supplies to five border towns in Myanmar. The formerly enslaved scammers found themselves caught in indefinite detention. Most are being held either in army camps controlled by the Kayin Border Guard Force or repurposed scam compounds. China sent a chartered flight Thursday to the tiny Mae Sot airport to pick up a group of its citizens. Authorities in Thailand say they cannot allow foreigners to cross the border from Myanmar unless they can be sent home immediately. Dozens of Indonesians were bused out one morning last week, pushing suitcases and carrying plastic bags with their meager possession. Acts of Mercy International is based at the Thai-Myanmar border. Amy Miller says it’s hard for the world to understand why all of the released workers aren’t free. She gestured out a nearby window toward the Friendship Bridge to Myanmar just blocks away. The halt to funding has also impacted a network of civil society groups that worked to stop human trafficking and rescue survivors in Thailand. U.S. Officials acknowledged the high pressure impasse. In 2015, more than 2,000 fishermen were rescued from brutal conditions at sea. Compounds in the DKBA’s control are less well-documented in the public record, but activists say they also control a fair number. In this crackdown, there have been no major prosecutions or compounds shut down. The Associated Press is investigating cyber scams in Myawaddy.
