See Gaza’s first episode takes us to Oslo, where artists, students, and citizens fill the streets in support of Gaza. Though far from Palestine, their voices echo beyond Norway’s borders. Watch the first episode to see how they demand justice, resist violence, and call for accountability. Tiếp tục đọc “I see Gaza”→
Chaotic scenes unfolded in Rafah, southern Gaza, as Palestinians rushed a US aid distribution site in Tal as-Sultan, prompting American security personnel to fire warning shots. Israeli forces reportedly intervened remotely to disperse crowds. Israeli Army radio cited security sources distancing Israel from the incident while confirming US contractors regained control. The aid was distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial organisation established after Israel blocked UN access in March. Footage shows desperate civilians amid strict aid restrictions. The foundation’s private contractor-led operations have drawn criticism for lacking UN neutrality protocols. This incident highlights escalating tensions over aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

Critics say the Cambodian government’s attacks on opposition members and activists have gone global.
On January 7, 2025, former Cambodian opposition politician, Lim Kimya, was gunned down outside a busy bus station in central Bangkok.
A former Thai marine confessed to carrying out the hit as a gun for hire, but two Cambodians with ties to their country’s governing party are on the run, suspected of organising the murder.
While Lim Kimya’s family and friends are seeking justice, Cambodia’s prime minister, Hun Manet, denies his government had any involvement.
101 East investigates the brazen killing and Cambodia’s increasingly repressive government.
We are running out of time to save lives. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, as a result of the ongoing Israeli-imposed siege that has lasted for over two months. We call on the Israeli authorities and their supporters to abide by International Humanitarian Law and follow the principles which allow for unhindered humanitarian aid for people trapped inside the Strip.

Fifty years ago Thinh Nguyen left his homeland aboard an American navy ship. Some of his compatriots escaped in helicopters. Tens of thousands fled in makeshift boats. Many more, including Mr Nguyen’s father and brother, were left behind as troops from North Vietnam stormed into Saigon, then the capital of American-backed South Vietnam. The chaotic evacuation marked the end of the Vietnam war, badly damaged American credibility and left Vietnam in Communist hands. It also helped create one of the world’s biggest diasporas.
NEW UNICRI Report: Crimes Associated with Critical Minerals in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s role in global critical mineral supply chains grows, so does its exposure to criminal threats like environmental crimes, corruption, and illicit financial flows.
UNICRI’s latest publication analyzes how various actors exploit legal and enforcement gaps across the mineral value chain. It includes case studies on unlawful extraction, smuggling, and corruption-linked offenses.
Key criminal patterns identified:
Illegal mining operations
Corruption in licensing and environmental compliance
Smuggling and laundering of proceeds
Lack of supply chain transparency
Recommendations to strengthen regional responses:
Enhance financial investigation and AML cooperation
Develop traceability tools and leverage complementary technologies such as satellite monitoring
Build enforcement capacity on mining-related crime
Promote inter-agency coordination
Empower Indigenous and local communities through strengthened FPIC implementation
Advance research on criminal methodologies in mineral supply chains
UNICRI supports collaboration among Member States and relevant stakeholders to promote secure, transparent, and sustainable mineral supply chains.
An estimated 39.5 million people globally suffer from drug-use disorders — with a growing number hooked on synthetic drugs that are cheaper, more accessible, and far more lethal. We investigate the impacts of this synthetic curse, beginning in Karachi, where millions of young Pakistanis are caught in a deadly spiral of addiction and crime.
The recent power outage in Spain and Portugal has raised questions about the stability of solar and wind power. It also reignited the debate around the phasing out of nuclear energy.
At 12:33 p.m. on April 28, swathes of Spain and parts of Portugal were plunged into darkness: trains were stranded, phone and internet coverage faltered, and ATMs stopped working.
The electricity blackout across the Iberian Peninsula is believed to be one of the worst in Europe’s history.
Last week, Spain’s energy minister Sara Aagesen said so far it was clear an abrupt loss of power at a substation in Granada, followed by failures in Badajoz and Seville, led to a loss of 2.2 gigawatts of electricity, but that the precise cause was unknown.
TP Hồ Chí Minh từng đầu tư đồng bộ nhiều nhà chờ xe buýt hiện đại với mái che, bảng thông tin điện tử, camera… nhằm nâng cao trải nghiệm cho người dân khi sử dụng phương tiện giao thông công cộng. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay nhiều nhà chờ và bảng thông tin điện tử đã rơi vào tình trạng xuống cấp, hư hỏng, gây bất tiện cho hành khách.
Theo ghi nhận của phóng viên báo Tin tức và Dân tộc, tại nhiều tuyến đường như Lê Lợi, Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai (Quận 1); Hồng Bàng, Thuận Kiều (Quận 5); Nguyễn Hữu Thọ (Quận 7); Trường Chinh (Quận Tân Bình); Lê Trọng Tấn (Quận Tân Phú) và khu vực huyện Nhà Bè… nhiều bảng đèn nhà chờ xe buýt hư hỏng, rỉ sét, bị vẽ bậy và bảng thông tin điện tử không còn hoạt động. Tình trạng này đặc biệt phổ biến trước các trường học, bệnh viện – nơi có lượng lớn người dân cần di chuyển bằng xe buýt.
Bảng đèn nhà chờ xe buýt trên đường Lê Trọng Tấn (quận Tân Phú) xuống cấp bị hư hỏng, rỉ sét.Bảng đèn 2 nhà chờ xe buýt trên đường Trường Chinh (quận Tân Bình) không có thông tin và bị vẽ bậy.
In “Freedom: Memoirs 1954-2021” (published by St. Martin’s Press), former German Chancellor Angela Merkel writes about two lives: her early years growing up under a Communist-controlled police state in East Germany, and her years as leader of a nation reunited following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Prologue
This book tells a story that will not happen again, because the state I lived in for thirty-five years ceased to exist in 1990. If it had been offered to a publishing house as a work of fiction, it would have been turned down, someone said to me early in 2022, a few weeks after I stepped down from the office of federal chancellor. He was familiar with such issues, and was glad that I had decided to write this book, precisely because of its story. A story that is as unlikely as it is real. It became clear to me: telling this story, drawing out its lines, finding the thread running through it, identifying leitmotifs, could also be important for the future.
For a long time I couldn’t imagine writing such a book. That first changed in 2015, at least a little. Back then, in the night between September 4 and 5, I had decided not to turn away the refugees coming from Hungary at the German-Austrian border. I experienced that decision, and above all its consequences, as a caesura in my chancellorship. There was a before and an after. That was when I undertook to describe, one day when I was no longer chancellor, the sequence of events, the reasons for my decision, my understanding of Europe and globalization bound up with it, in a form that only a book would make possible. I didn’t want to leave the further description and interpretation just to other people.
– 83.4 million people were living in internal displacement at the end of 2024, more than twice as many as only six years ago (2018).
– 90 per cent had fled conflict and violence. In Sudan, conflict led to 11.6 million internally displaced people (IDPs), the most ever for one country. Nearly the entire population of the Gaza Strip remained displaced at the end of the year.
– Disasters triggered nearly twice as many movements in 2024 as the annual average over the past decade. The 11 million disaster displacements in the United States were the most ever recorded for a single country.
GENEVA, Switzerland – The number of internally displaced people (IDPs) reached 83.4 million at the end of 2024, the highest figure ever recorded, according to the Global Report on Internal Displacement 2025 published today by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). This is equivalent to the population of Germany, and more than double the number from just six years ago.
“Internal displacement is where conflict, poverty and climate collide, hitting the most vulnerable the hardest,” said Alexandra Bilak, IDMC director. “These latest numbers prove that internal displacement is not just a humanitarian crisis; it’s a clear development and political challenge that requires far more attention than it currently receives.”
– 2024 had the most tropical primary forest loss since our records began two decades ago — disappearing at a rate of 18 football (soccer) fields per minute, nearly double that of 2023. – Almost half of this loss was due to fires, around 5 times more than a typical year in the tropics. Latin America was particularly hard hit with major fires across Brazil, Bolivia and numerous other countries. – Fires also continued to drive tree cover loss outside of the tropics, with high levels of loss once again in Russia and Canada. Overall, the world lost an area of forests nearly the size of Panama.
This data must be a wake-up call for global policies and finance that incentivize keeping forests standing. Read our analysisfor more findings from the University of Maryland GLAD Lab’s annual data
