Ngày 4/4, 32 ngoại trưởng NATO đã tổ chức lễ kỷ niệm 75 năm ngày ký kết Hiệp ước Bắc Đại Tây Dương tại Washington (4/4/1949). Vào thời điểm đó, cuộc đối đầu với Liên Xô thể hiện thông qua việc phong tỏa Berlin và ngày nay logic đối đầu với Nga rõ ràng đã quay trở lại. Để chuẩn bị, NATO muốn giành lại quyền kiểm soát việc hỗ trợ quân sự trực tiếp cho Ukraine.
| Top of the Agenda World Depends on ‘Indispensable’ U.S. Leadership, Japanese PM Tells U.S. CongressJapanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio stressed the global importance (Nikkei) of U.S. leadership and Japan’s increased commitment to helping bear the burden of upholding a rules-based international order in an address to Congress yesterday. The United States is “indispensable,” Kishida said, adding that Japan is fully committed to upholding the same values and thus has transformed from a “reticent ally” to a “strong, committed” one in recent years. Kishida’s address to Congress was the first (Bloomberg) by a Japanese leader since 2015 and occurred during a visit where the two nations also held a first-of-its-kind trilateral summit with the Philippines. A joint statement issued after the summit called (Nikkei) the three countries “equal partners and trusted friends,” and pledged to advance a vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific region with more such meetings “for decades to come.” |
The center-left Democratic Party added to its legislative majority after the recent parliamentary election, which would deal a blow to President Yoon Suk Yeol’s domestic reform agenda and possibly his efforts to improve ties with Japan.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israel-Hamas war has stretched on for half a year and become one of the most destructive, deadly, and intractable conflicts of the 21st century.
Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 cross-border attack, Israel has pummeled the Gaza Strip, displacing the vast majority of the population and causing many to flee to Gaza’s southernmost city, Rafah. Food is scarce, the U.N. says famine is approaching and few Palestinians have been able to leave the besieged territory.
Meanwhile, Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel from Gaza, and Hezbollah and other militant groups do so from southern Lebanon, prompting tit-for-tat fighting that has displaced thousands of civilians on both sides of Israel’s borders. Hamas is still holding hostages taken during the Oct. 7 raid, as well as the bodies of some who died in captivity. And cease-fire talks stretch on with no end in sight.

Palestinians flee from the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza after an Israeli ground and air offensive on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024. Associated Press photographers have captured what six months of devastating war have brought for Israel and for Palestinians. At its six-month mark, it is not clear what direction the war will now take. Weeks of mediation by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar for a longer cease-fire have so far been unable to make a breakthrough.

TTCT – Năm 2019, Quốc hội Ấn Độ thông qua Đạo luật bổ sung về quốc tịch (Citizenship Amendment Act, tức CAA) gây nhiều tranh cãi, đặc biệt là với cộng đồng Hồi giáo đông đảo ở nước này.
Ảnh: The Print
CAA cho phép người vào Ấn Độ dù có phép hay trái phép trước 2014 đều được nhanh chóng vào quốc tịch trên căn bản tôn giáo: Người được phép nhập tịch muốn theo đạo gì cũng được, trừ đạo Hồi.
Ấn Độ theo hiến pháp 1947 là quốc gia thế tục và đa tôn giáo, không phân biệt. CAA như vậy vi phạm nguyên tắc lập quốc. Dù được chính quyền trình bày là một đạo luật nhân đạo giúp hợp thức hóa thành phần tị nạn và sống chui, CAA lại bị người Hồi tại Ấn Độ coi là kỳ thị tôn giáo của họ.
Nó gặp phải sự chống đối dữ dội và biểu tình gây hỗn loạn khiến cả ngàn người bị bắt và trên 50 người thiệt mạng. Chính quyền bèn tạm thời không áp dụng đạo luật này và treo nó, không ban hành tức khắc.

Trao đổi với Tuổi Trẻ, ông Phạm Anh Tuấn – vụ trưởng Vụ Thanh toán (Ngân hàng Nhà nước) – cho biết:
– Thời gian qua có không ít người dân đã bị đối tượng lừa đảo chiếm đoạt tiền. Thủ đoạn của bọn lừa đảo rất tinh vi như tự xưng là cơ quan chức năng như công an, thanh tra giao thông… rồi đưa ra các tình huống khiến người dân mất cảnh giác, truy cập vào phần mềm và đường link có mã độc.
Sau đó, bọn chúng vào tài khoản, thậm chí chiếm quyền kiểm soát điện thoại để lấy sạch tiền trong tài khoản.
