Rajna Uddin, 26, moved to Thailand at the end of January and now rents a one-bedroom apartment with a swimming pool for GBP100 a month, compared with the GBP850 she previously paid for a single room in a shared London property. Get today's headlines by email Rajna, originally from Brighton, said she had been living “pay cheque to pay cheque” in the UK and felt constantly stressed about money. Before leaving Britain, she spent a year saving aggressively by cutting nearly all unnecessary spending and taking on extra work. She previously paid GBP850 a month including bills for a “tiny” room in a shared flat with two housemates in London. According to Rajna, she avoided eating out, buying coffee and other expenses while saving for the move. She said the process was difficult at times but kept her focused on building a different future. Rajna first travelled to Thailand between December 2023 and March 2024 before returning again from May to June 2025. After deciding she wanted to relocate permanently, she left the UK without a confirmed job and spent several weeks travelling around Thailand looking for schools willing to hire international teachers. She eventually secured a teaching role working with nursery and KS3 pupils, helping children learn English through songs, games and activities. Rajna said the role involves more than classroom teaching, including helping children settle in, eat lunch and nap during the school day. The move has also significantly reduced her monthly expenses. Rajna said she now spends around GBP200 a month on food, GBP80 on a moped and GBP80 on bills, bringing her total monthly costs in Thailand to about GBP460. In comparison, she estimated her monthly costs in the UK reached GBP2,650, including rent, food and other expenses. Rajna said she feels safer and happier living in Thailand and enjoys the slower pace of life. She described the country as more community-focused and said she no longer feels constantly on edge when outside at night. Despite earning roughly half of what she made in Britain, Rajna said her quality of life has improved considerably. She added that teaching in Thailand may not suit people focused on earning large salaries, but said the move had given her greater peace of mind and a better work-life balance. The Mirror reported that Rajna also warned that moving abroad can be financially and emotionally difficult. She said relocating overseas should not be done simply for appearances, as there can be challenges finding work, settling in and managing debts after leaving home behind.

Get today's headlines by email The incident came to light after Facebook user “bell apisara” posted video clips and details online, claiming the victim had been assaulted by a Chinese man. The post said the victim was prevented from leaving the room and only escaped after managing to open the door for friends to help. According to the post, the victim suffered facial wounds requiring 19 stitches, eight stitches to the hand and four stitches to the foot. The attack reportedly happened at a hotel in South Pattaya, Chon Buri. Reporters visited the hotel at about 6pm on 25 May 2026 and spoke with reception staff, who said they were not present during the incident but had been briefed by a colleague working the earlier shift. Hotel staff said the injured ladyboy ran down from a third-floor room at around 6am on 25 May in a blood-soaked condition and told staff only that “the Chinese man did not pay for my services”. Staff provided assistance and recorded part of the aftermath on video. The suspect was identified as Chen Wentao, 22, a Chinese national. Hotel records showed he checked in on 23 May and paid 750 baht per night, with a 500-baht deposit. Following the incident, he allegedly fled without collecting the deposit and the hotel is gathering evidence to file a complaint with Pattaya City Police over property damage. Police believe the dispute may have started after the Chinese man allegedly hired the victim for services and later became angry after discovering the victim was a ladyboy. Investigators are examining whether this led to the assault. The victim, identified as 25-year-old Thanawat, filed a complaint with Pattaya City Police. Officers sent the victim for a medical examination and planned a detailed interview later. Authorities later confirmed that Chen Wentao had already left Thailand. Immigration records showed he departed through Suvarnabhumi Airport at 11.20am on 25 May on a flight bound for Chongqing, China. Amarin reported that police are continuing their investigation and are expected to review evidence, witness accounts and medical reports as part of the case.

Get today's headlines by email Retired Army Special Forces officer Jon Gundersen and former Navy officer Shaun Byrnes are among the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in February seeking to halt construction of the 250-foot monument planned for a traffic circle between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. The lawsuit claims the administration rushed the project without proper congressional approval. The plaintiffs also argue the structure would disrupt a historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and the Robert E. Lee Memorial, which they say was designed to symbolise reconciliation after the US Civil War. Renderings released for the project show an arch more than twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial. The design has drawn comparisons to Paris’s Arc de Triomphe. Gundersen and Byrnes insist their opposition is not politically motivated. Speaking to CBS News, Gundersen said their actions reflected loyalty to the United States rather than to any president. “I think what we’re doing is being loyal to the country,” he said. Duty to fallen soldiersByrnes, who served two tours in Vietnam, said he joined the legal challenge out of a sense of duty to fellow soldiers buried at Arlington. He described the proposal as disrespectful to those who died in service and said it had caused him to reconsider plans to be buried at the cemetery himself. Veterans say monument reflects authoritarian politicsThe lawsuit, led by the Public Citizen Litigation Group, faces opposition from the US Justice Department, which has argued the plaintiffs do not have legal standing to sue. Although Congress has not formally voted on the current proposal, administration officials have said earlier authorisation exists through a century-old plan that envisioned “two stately columns” representing the North and South after the Civil War. Last month, a federal judge declined to temporarily block construction, though work on the project has not yet begun. Plaintiffs argue project disrespects Arlington deadGundersen, 81, and Byrnes, 83, said they view the arch less as a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and more as a monument to President Donald Trump personally. Last year, Trump displayed a model of the proposed structure in the Oval Office and described it as “fantastic”. When asked by CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe who the monument was intended for, Trump replied: “Me.” Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now.

Get today's headlines by email On 25 May 2026, Mr Daeng Phaothai, from the Thai film industry, accompanied Mr Chan Wai, 55, to meet investigators at the Central Investigation Bureau complaint centre to seek legal advice and provide information about the alleged fraud. Mr Chan Wai claimed the couple persuaded him to invest in a foreign currency exchange business supposedly linked to concession rights at Suvarnabhumi Airport, promising high returns. Mr Daeng said Mr Chan Wai is a close friend of Hong Kong actor Andy Lau and had travelled to Thailand to work on a film project with action star Tony Jaa. During his stay, Mr Daeng introduced him to a woman identified as “Ms Cartoon” and her husband because they were from southern Thailand and had previously worked together in the film business. According to the complaint, Ms Cartoon later approached Mr Chan Wai with the investment opportunity, claiming she could secure bidding rights for a currency exchange business at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Believing the proposal was genuine, the businessman prepared to invest almost 200 million baht. Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Chan Wai said he escaped financial loss after a close friend warned him the couple were allegedly part of a major scam operation. The friend reportedly claimed to have previously lost more than 20 million baht to the same pair. Mr Chan Wai said further checks revealed the couple were facing several fraud-related court cases in Thailand and had previously served prison sentences. He immediately suspended all planned financial transactions after learning this information. He also claimed that when he confronted the husband, the man denied being legally married to Ms Cartoon and denied involvement in any fraud. However, Mr Chan Wai said he later discovered the pair had recently travelled together on honeymoon trips to Japan and several other countries, strengthening his belief they were working together. Mr Chan Wai said the alleged scammers built credibility through luxury social media profiles featuring photographs with wealthy figures, senior government officials and prominent Thai politicians. He said the experience left him shocked and fearful, prompting him to seek police assistance and pursue legal action. Thaitabloid reported that the businessman added that he hoped the case would serve as a warning to others and help prevent similar scams from damaging Thailand’s image in the future.

Get today's headlines by email The arrests took place at about 6am on May 25, 2026, during a joint border patrol operation by the Aranyaprathet Task Force, Burapha Force troops, Border Patrol Company 1202 and Sa Kaeo Immigration Police. Officers were monitoring natural border crossing points between Ban Phu Nam Kliang in Pa Rai subdistrict, Aranyaprathet district and the Cambodian border when they spotted the group walking into Thailand. Authorities found all six men carrying Bangladeshi passports but none had Thai entry stamps. The men were taken to Border Ranger Company 1202 in Pa Rai for questioning, with a Bangladeshi interpreter assisting immigration officers. According to the group, they had been recruited by a Bangladeshi broker who promised them high-paying jobs in Cambodia. The men said they flew from Bangladesh to Sihanoukville International Airport before being transported by van to Phnom Penh in early January 2026. They told officers they were employed as general labourers on a promised wage of US$16 per day, or about 520 baht. However, they claimed they worked for around five months without receiving any payment. The men said they eventually decided to escape together after becoming unable to tolerate the situation any longer. Using GPS maps for navigation, they walked for more than two days from Phnom Penh towards the Thai border at Poipet. After reaching the border area, they reportedly asked Cambodian locals how to cross into Thailand illegally. The group then crawled under barbed-wire fencing from the Poipet side into Thailand, intending to travel to the Bangladesh embassy to seek assistance returning home. Thai soldiers arrested the men while they were crossing the border on foot. Authorities later transferred all six to investigators at Khlong Luek Police Station in Sa Kaeo for further questioning and legal proceedings. Officials said the case forms part of ongoing efforts to prevent illegal border crossings and transnational labour-related offences along the Thai-Cambodian frontier.

Police have taken her South Korean boyfriend in for questioning as investigators examine whether the death was a suicide or a possible murder. Get today's headlines by email Fern, identified as Jelka Phuthong, had been reported missing after her motorbike, an iPhone and her shoes were found abandoned near the Mae Klong bridge. Rescue teams from the Pitakkan Foundation and Khun Rattanawut Foundation searched the river continuously for two days and one night before locating her body. At around 11.15am on 25 May 2026, divers found Fern’s body submerged near Tha Lo beach in Tha Muang district, Kanchanaburi, around 3 kilometres from the bridge where her belongings were discovered. Officers from Tha Muang Police Station, led by senior provincial police officials including Pol Maj Gen Phatsawi Rueangphu, attended the scene with forensic staff from Somdet Phra Sangharaja 19 Hospital to conduct an initial examination. Relatives gathered at the riverside as the body was recovered, with family members overcome with grief. Fern’s parents, Wallop Phuthong and Napatsorn Phuthong, said they had limited contact with their daughter but knew she had a South Korean boyfriend. The family said they only learned about the abandoned motorbike after local residents alerted them, prompting them to file a missing person report. Police said the exact cause of death has not yet been determined. Investigators are focusing on two possible scenarios. One theory is that Fern may have jumped into the river following an argument with her South Korean boyfriend, while another is that she may have been murdered and thrown into the water. Police have now taken the boyfriend in for questioning while detectives continue reviewing CCTV footage from areas near the bridge. Officers are attempting to determine whether Fern travelled to the scene alone or with another person before she disappeared into the water. Amarin reported that the body was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for a post-mortem examination to establish the precise cause of death. Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing as police gather further evidence and interview additional witnesses. Pictures courtesy of Amarin Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email In the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), the Pope argued that humanity faced a moral turning point similar to earlier historical failures to confront slavery and colonialism. “The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention,” he said of his call to “disarm” AI. Encyclicals are formal letters traditionally addressed to Catholic bishops, but modern popes have increasingly used them to address global political, social and ethical issues. Slavery parallelsA central theme of the document was the comparison between historical slavery and what the Pope described as emerging forms of “digital slavery”. Leo warned that AI systems risked normalising exploitation both through the conditions under which some technologies are developed and through the ways they are deployed. “It was impossible not to feel deep sorrow when contemplating the immense suffering and humiliation endured by so many,” the Pope wrote in one of the Vatican’s strongest apologies for the Catholic Church’s role in slavery. He added that he “sincerely asked for pardon” in the name of the Church. The Pope also referred to the dangers of “digital colonialism”, drawing parallels between abuses committed during the colonial era and modern technology practices. He said humanity risked repeating past moral failures if governments and companies failed to establish safeguards around AI. Warning over warfare and politicsThe encyclical sharply criticised the growing use of AI in military systems and warned against the development of an AI arms race. “No algorithm can make war morally acceptable,” the Pope wrote. He argued that reducing direct human control over weapons systems made it harder to justify war ethically and could lower the threshold for violence by transforming defence into predictive threat analysis. The Pope also expressed concern about the political effects of AI, including the manipulation of images and videos that could expose people to misleading or biased information. Leo urged those developing the technology to recognise what he called their “ethical and spiritual responsibility”. “Every design choice reflects a vision of humanity,” he said in a direct appeal to AI developers. AI leaders join Vatican launchIn an unusual move, the Pope personally presented the encyclical at the Vatican alongside AI researchers, including Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic. Olah said AI companies often operated within incentives that could conflict with ethical decision-making. “The questions raised by AI are bigger than the AI research community,” he said, adding that responsibility for regulating the technology could not rest solely with computer scientists. The Pope has previously compared the need for AI protections to labour and human dignity reforms introduced during the industrial revolution. However, questions remain about how much influence the Vatican can exert over the rapidly advancing technology sector. The late Pope Francis issued repeated warnings about climate change after publishing his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si, later expressing disappointment at the lack of global action. Pope Leo has now established a commission to continue work on AI ethics, though the long-term impact of the Vatican’s intervention remains uncertain. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email Police and rescue workers were called to the scene at around 10am after reports that workers had fallen from scaffolding on the fifth floor of a police residential building under construction on Sriwiset Road, behind Muang Sisaket Police Station. The investigation was led by Pol Lt Col Akkarapong Tewela, an investigator at Mueang Sisaket Police Station, along with Pol Col Chayakorn Thesabamrung, deputy commander of Sisaket Provincial Police. Three workers fell from the structure while carrying out repairs to the beam formwork, on the fifth floor. The victims were identified as Mr Sangwan, 58, Mr Nuay, believed to be 55, and Mr Phithak, believed to be 50. Emergency crews rushed all three men to hospital. Mr Phithak and Mr Sangwan later died from their injuries, while Mr Nuay remains in a serious condition. According to fellow worker Mr Siriwat, 44, the team had been pouring concrete into a beam when they noticed the structure was not strong enough. Work was stopped so repairs could be made to reinforce the beam formwork before construction continued. Pictures courtesy of Khaosod Mr Siriwat said he was working alongside the three victims on the fifth floor when he suddenly heard a loud cracking noise. Workers reportedly asked each other what the sound was, but moments later the beam and the scaffolding they were standing on collapsed and fell to the ground below. He said the three workers positioned closest to the edge fell with the structure, while he narrowly survived by grabbing onto part of the formwork that remained attached. Mr Siriwat said he shut his eyes during the collapse, believing he would not survive, but managed to hold on and avoid falling. Komchadluek reported that authorities are expected to continue investigating the cause of the collapse, including the structural integrity of the beam formwork and scaffolding being used at the site.

Get today's headlines by email Speaking to reporters on Monday, Carney drew parallels with Brexit, which took place while he was governor of the Bank of England. He said many British voters had not fully understood the long-term impact of the 2016 referendum. “Ten years on, the UK is trying to undo what people didn’t think they were voting for, but what they ended up having,” Carney said. Alberta voters are due to go to the polls on 19 October to decide whether the province should remain part of Canada or move toward a later binding vote on separation. Campaign for unityCarney said he would campaign in favour of national unity ahead of the referendum. “We have to be very careful about this,” he said, arguing there was a “strong, positive case” for keeping Alberta within Canada while maintaining a strong provincial identity. Supporters of Alberta independence say the oil-rich province has long been neglected by policymakers in Ottawa. They argue that federal environmental measures have limited Alberta’s ability to expand oil and gas pipelines and fully develop its natural resources. The push for a referendum gathered momentum earlier this year after a grassroots campaign collected more than 300,000 signatures in support of a petition calling for a vote on separation. Court challenge and political responseThe petition was later struck down by a court after Indigenous First Nations groups argued they had not been properly consulted during the process. Despite the ruling, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the province would still move ahead with a referendum question on separation. Smith pointed to a separate petition supporting Alberta remaining within Canada that attracted more than 400,000 signatures, saying Albertans should still be allowed to express their views in a plebiscite. She also criticised the court’s decision and defended the referendum process as a democratic exercise. Although Smith supports holding the vote, she has said she will campaign for Alberta to stay in Canada. She has argued that relations between Alberta and the federal government have improved in recent months. Poll suggests majority back stayingA poll released on Monday by Canadian research company Angus Reid Institute suggested that about three in five Albertans would vote to remain part of Canada. Carney’s comparison with Brexit reflects wider concerns among some Canadian politicians and analysts about the risks of constitutional uncertainty and economic disruption if Alberta were to pursue independence. The UK’s Brexit referendum in 2016 ended with 52% voting to leave the European Union and 48% choosing to remain. Britain formally left the bloc in 2020. Brexit supporters argued that EU membership restricted British sovereignty and economic flexibility, while critics said leaving created years of political and economic instability.

The proposed legislation targets products high in fat, sugar and sodium, commonly known as HFSS foods, and aims to reduce children’s exposure to persuasive advertising across multiple platforms. Get today's headlines by email The Department of Health has prepared the Draft Food and Beverage Marketing Control Act Affecting Children’s Health, which would introduce legal controls on marketing tactics considered harmful to children. Officials said the law is designed to reduce children’s exposure to advertising and promotions for unhealthy foods and beverages, with the goal of lowering consumption and reducing future obesity and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Health authorities said childhood obesity in Thailand has more than doubled over the past 20 years. Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to remain obese into adulthood, increasing their risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. Officials identified regular consumption of foods and drinks high in fat, sugar and sodium as a major contributing factor. The ministry said marketing strongly influences children’s food preferences and purchasing behaviour because children are less able than adults to recognise commercial intent. Advertising methods highlighted in the draft include digital and social media campaigns, cartoon characters, celebrities, sales promotions, toys, prizes and school-based activities. According to data from the Department of Health, Thai children spend an average of 12 hours and 8 minutes per day on internet media, increasing their exposure to advertising for sugary, salty and fatty foods. Officials warned that repeated exposure can normalise unhealthy eating habits in daily life. Thailand has introduced previous health-promotion and consumer-protection measures, but the ministry said there is still no comprehensive law specifically regulating the marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks to children. The draft legislation has been under development since 2020, according to the World Obesity Federation’s country tracker. Public consultations on the draft law are open from May 18 to June 18, 2026. The ministry said the proposal aligns with recommendations from the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of NCDs, ASEAN and UNICEF, all of which support legal controls on HFSS food marketing aimed at children. The Nation reported that officials noted that more than 20 countries, including Singapore, Chile and the United Kingdom, have already introduced similar measures to reduce children’s exposure to unhealthy food advertising. The ministry said stronger regulation, combined with improved food and health literacy, could help promote healthier eating habits and reduce future pressure on Thailand’s healthcare system and economy.

Get today's headlines by email. The provisional reading was recorded at Kew Gardens on Monday, according to the Met Office. It also exceeded the previous record for the hottest bank holiday Monday, which stood at 33.3C during the August bank holiday in 2019. Forecasters said temperatures could rise even higher on Tuesday, with some parts of England expected to approach 35C. Record temperatures across UKWales also set a new May temperature record, with Hawarden Airport in Flintshire reaching 32.2C. Scotland and Northern Ireland recorded their warmest days of the year so far, with highs of 25.5°C at Charterhall and 24.6°C at Hillsborough, respectively. The Met Office described the conditions as unusually intense for this time of year. “This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid-summer, let alone in May,” the agency said. The UK also experienced its warmest May night on record on Sunday, when temperatures in London remained as high as 19.4C overnight. According to the Met Office, more than half of the UK’s monthly temperature records have now been set since 2003, reflecting a broader rise in extreme heat events. Chief operational meteorologist Dan Suri said the current spell had been caused by warm air building beneath a high-pressure system near the UK. Typical temperatures for late May range between 14C and 20C. Health alerts and disruptionThe UK Health Security Agency issued its first amber heat-health alert of 2026 on Friday, covering London, the South East, the East Midlands, the West Midlands and eastern England. Yellow alerts were issued for several other English regions, with all warnings remaining in place until Wednesday evening. The hot weather caused disruption in parts of southern England, where around 500 properties in Sussex and Kent lost water supplies or experienced interruptions because of increased demand. Water company South East Water apologised and said crews were working to restore normal service as quickly as possible. Several outdoor events were either cancelled or altered because of the heat. In Surrey, organisers of the Leatherhead Lions Club donkey derby removed the donkey races and dog show from the programme over concerns for animal welfare. Elsewhere, thousands of spectators attended the annual cheese-rolling competition at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire despite the high temperatures. German YouTuber Tom Kopke, known online as Tooleko, won the first race ahead of local competitor Chris Anderson. Warnings as heat continuesForecasters said thunderstorms could develop in parts of England on Tuesday evening as the heat persists. Temperatures are expected to remain around 30C across England and Wales through Thursday before easing slightly later in the week. Heatwave conditions were officially recorded in eight areas of England on Sunday, including Heathrow, Kew Gardens and Northolt in London, as well as locations in Suffolk, Essex and Oxfordshire. The AA urged motorists to take precautions during the hot spell, warning that temperatures inside parked vehicles could reach 60C. It said children, vulnerable passengers and pets should never be left unattended in cars, even briefly. Age UK advised older people to avoid going outside during the hottest part of the day and recommended cold showers and baths to stay cool. Climate and European heatwaveScientists say climate change is increasing the likelihood and intensity of extreme heat events. The Met Office’s State of the UK Climate report found the number of days above 28C has more than doubled compared with the 1961–1990 average, while days above 30C have more than tripled over the past decade. The heatwave has extended across much of Europe. Spain recorded temperatures of 38C on Sunday, while France, Germany, Switzerland and northern Italy also experienced temperatures far above seasonal averages, with multiple local May records broken.

The woman, identified as 40-year-old Areerat, known as Fang, was discovered in a rented room in Seoul on May 23 after disappearing for two days. Get today's headlines by email Her South Korean husband reportedly arrived at the room with their 13-year-old daughter before discovering her body. Relatives in Udon Thani later confirmed the death and said she had been under severe stress after accumulating debts of around 30 million won linked to her trading business. According to family members, Fang sold Thai goods to Thai workers living in South Korea, including dried food, kitchenware and household products. Relatives said she often allowed customers to buy on credit, causing losses when many failed to repay her. As her business cash flow worsened, she reportedly borrowed money from fellow Thai residents married to South Koreans. Family members claimed interest charges caused the debt to grow significantly, while creditors allegedly posted messages on Facebook publicly demanding repayment and humiliating her online. Her sister, Anchalee, said Fang had posted a video on Facebook threatening to hang herself. She claimed some creditors responded by mocking her and demanding payment, adding to the pressure she was facing. Family members said friends and a former employer had been trying to help settle the debts and arrange financial support. However, they lost contact with her before assistance could reach her. Anchalee said Fang had worked overseas since she was a teen, including in Singapore before eventually moving to South Korea around 15 years ago. She first worked illegally in the country before later marrying a South Korean man who travelled to Thailand to ask for her hand in marriage. The family said Fang had suffered from depression for the past five to six years but rarely discussed her personal struggles. Relatives described her as the main provider for the family, regularly sending between 10,000 and 20,000 baht each month to support her parents in Udon Thani. Her mother, Bang-on, described her daughter as a hard-working woman who had spent most of her life working abroad to support her family. She said the family was now waiting to receive her ashes after cremation proceedings in South Korea, which are expected to take place on Tuesday, 26 May. Amarin reported that authorities in South Korea are reportedly handling legal procedures linked to the case, while Fang’s husband is continuing arrangements connected to the investigation and funeral rites.

The warning followed large-scale Russian missile and drone attacks overnight on Saturday, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said killed four people and injured around 100 others in Kyiv and surrounding areas. Claims over Starobilsk attackMoscow said the strikes were retaliation for what it described as a deliberate Ukrainian attack on a student dormitory in Starobilsk, a Russian-occupied town in eastern Ukraine. Russian officials said 21 people were killed in the incident on Friday. Ukraine’s military said it had targeted an elite Russian drone unit operating in the area and denied attacking civilians. Russia has intensified aerial assaults on Kyiv since a short ceasefire linked to Moscow’s Victory Day celebrations ended earlier this month. In another recent strike, Russian attacks on the capital killed 24 people, including three children, after a residential apartment block was hit. Escalating aerial attacksDays later, Russian authorities reported that three people were killed in a major Ukrainian drone attack on the Moscow region. Zelensky described those strikes as an “entirely justified” response to repeated Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. Kyiv then came under one of the heaviest aerial bombardments of the war overnight on Saturday. Videos shared online showed explosions across the skyline throughout the night, while residents reported repeated blasts as civilian areas were struck. Ukraine said Russia launched dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles alongside hundreds of drones. Moscow also fired an Oreshnik hypersonic missile towards Bila Tserkva, a city about 90km south of Kyiv. The missile is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Several non-military sites were damaged, including the Chernobyl Museum and the National Art Museum of Ukraine. A shopping centre, market and residential buildings in the Lukanivka district were also destroyed. Diplomatic pressure and air defence concernsOn Monday evening, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to evacuate American diplomats from Kyiv during a phone call, according to Russia’s foreign ministry. Many observers view Russia’s warning to foreign nationals as psychological pressure rather than a sign of a major policy shift, as Moscow has repeatedly targeted Kyiv since launching its full-scale invasion in 2022. Over the course of the war, Ukraine has built a more advanced air defence network capable of intercepting many incoming drones and missiles. However, Russian attacks often involve such large numbers of weapons that some penetrate the defences. Ukraine also relies heavily on foreign-supplied air defence systems. In March, Zelensky warned that supplies could become strained because of military demands linked to the US and Israel’s conflict with Iran. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email The crash left Dr Theerasak with severe brain injuries requiring urgent specialist surgery. At around 2.30pm, medical staff from Bangkok Hospital Samui and the doctor’s relatives coordinated with the Police Aviation Division of the Royal Thai Police to arrange an emergency flight to Bangkok. Doctors said his condition was extremely critical and that he required advanced neurosurgery unavailable locally. He was transferred by ambulance from Bangkok Hospital Samui to Samui Airport before being moved onto a police aircraft standing by on the runway. A medical team and nurses monitored Dr Theerasak throughout the journey as the aircraft departed for Bangkok. The destination was Ramathibodi Hospital, where the doctor works, with operating theatres, neurosurgeons and advanced medical equipment prepared in advance for his arrival. The crash happened after British suspect Paul Duncan Wilcock, aged 51 from West Yorkshire, rode a motorcycle into Dr Theerasak before fleeing the scene. Police later confirmed that a drug test found cocaine in the suspect’s body. Authorities have charged the British national with reckless driving causing serious injury, hit-and-run driving, driving without a licence and use of a Category 1 narcotic. Police Region 8 Commissioner Lieutenant General Sitthichai Lokanpai instructed Koh Phangan Police Station to pursue the case directly and firmly. Investigators have also widened the inquiry to examine a tour boat business where the suspect allegedly hid after the crash. Police are checking whether the operation was linked to illegal nominee business practices or supported by influential foreign figures operating on the island. The case has intensified scrutiny of foreign criminal activity on Koh Phangan, with senior police officers ordering further investigations into possible organised networks. Authorities said the wider crackdown aimed to dismantle foreign mafia-style operations and deliver justice for Dr Theerasak, who is widely recognised for his contributions to Thai society. Khaosod reported that hospital officials in Bangkok are expected to provide updates on the doctor’s condition following surgery. Meanwhile, police investigations into both the crash and the suspect’s alleged business connections remain ongoing.

Get today's headlines by email The Israeli military said it had targeted Hezbollah sites in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, as well as additional locations elsewhere in the country. The strikes followed a video statement from Netanyahu, who said Israel was “at war with Hezbollah” and had instructed the military to “deal them a crushing blow”. The escalation comes despite a 45-day ceasefire extension agreed earlier this month between Israel and Lebanon. Although the truce reduced large-scale fighting, clashes and air strikes have continued, particularly in southern Lebanon. Fears of Wider ConflictThe latest attacks have raised concerns in Beirut that Israel’s military campaign could expand further and potentially include the Lebanese capital. Netanyahu said Israeli operations against Hezbollah had already “eliminated over 600 terrorists” and argued that the military now needed to increase both the number and intensity of its strikes. Since the ceasefire agreement signed on 16 April, most Israeli attacks have been concentrated in southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops remain deployed. Israel says rockets and drones have continued to be launched from the area. The Bekaa Valley, targeted on Monday evening, is a strategic region in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border and has long been considered a stronghold for Hezbollah. Regional Tensions PersistThe expansion of Israel’s offensive came as Iran said any emerging peace agreement with the United States must include a complete ceasefire across all fronts in the regional conflict. Israel’s government has resisted calls to end operations against Hezbollah. Ten Israeli soldiers have been killed since the original ceasefire was agreed, according to Israeli officials. Lebanese authorities say more than 400 people have been killed in Israeli bombardments during the same period, including paramedics and emergency workers. Israeli forces have also issued near-daily evacuation warnings for residents in newly targeted areas of southern Lebanon, contributing to the displacement of more than one million people. Background to the ConflictLebanon became involved in the current conflict after the United States and Israel launched military action against Iran on 28 February. Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, responded after an Israeli strike killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The group fired rockets into Israel, prompting an Israeli air campaign across Lebanon and a subsequent ground invasion. According to Lebanon’s health ministry, more than 3,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the conflict began. The Lebanese government has said it is attempting to disarm Hezbollah but argues that maintaining a ceasefire is essential to completing what it describes as a highly complex process.

Get today's headlines by email. Speaking in Tehran on Monday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai said talks had advanced on many issues but cautioned against expectations of an imminent breakthrough. “It is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion,” Baqai said. “But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent — no one can make such a claim.” His comments came after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested a deal could be announced as early as Monday. Speaking to reporters in Delhi, Rubio said negotiators had hoped for developments overnight. “Maybe today,” he added, while warning against reading too much into the timing because communication with Tehran was taking time. Talks and ceasefire proposalAccording to reports, the proposed memorandum of understanding would include a 60-day extension of the ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and further negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. At the weekend, US President Donald Trump said the two sides were moving closer to a deal, although he later said he had instructed negotiators not to rush. CBS News reported that US intelligence believes Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in hiding after being injured during an Israeli strike at the start of the conflict that killed his father and predecessor. The report said difficulties communicating with his envoys had slowed the pace of negotiations. US media reports said the current proposal is not intended as a final settlement and would leave several major issues unresolved for future talks. These include sanctions relief, access to frozen Iranian assets and Washington’s demands for limits on Iran’s nuclear activities. Hormuz and market reactionRubio said the agreement would help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the key shipping route through which around one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies pass. Iran has effectively blocked the waterway since the conflict began, disrupting global trade and pushing up energy prices. Markets reacted positively to signs of progress in the negotiations. Oil prices fell sharply on Monday, while Asian stock markets rose. However, shipping executives warned that any recovery in global supply chains would take time even if an agreement is reached. Lars Jensen, chief executive of Vespucci Maritime and former director at shipping company Maersk, told BBC Radio 4 that the industry would remain cautious for months before making significant operational changes. Republican divisions emergeThe proposed deal has triggered criticism from several senior Republicans in Washington, exposing divisions within Trump’s political allies. Senator Ted Cruz called the reported terms “a disastrous mistake”, while Senator Roger Wicker said a temporary ceasefire would undermine the results of “Operation Epic Fury”. Senator Lindsey Graham also criticised any arrangement that could leave Iran appearing dominant in the region. Trump dismissed the criticism, describing opponents as “losers” and insisting any agreement with Iran would either be “great and meaningful” or there would be no deal at all. The conflict began after wide-ranging US and Israeli strikes on Iran on 28 February. Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel and Gulf states allied with Washington and moved to close the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran remained willing to reassure the international community that it was not seeking nuclear weapons. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Officers seized crystal methamphetamine, ecstasy pills and “pod K” devices containing etomidate, along with assets. Get today's headlines by email The operation was led by the Office of the Narcotics Control Board Region 2 under the Ministry of Justice. Mr Sarawut Phakdee, director of ONCB Region 2, assigned enforcement officers to work with narcotics suppression police, Nong Prue and Huai Yai police, tourist police and the First Naval Area Command. Authorities carried out searches at two locations in Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri. At a property in Nong Prue, officers executed a Pattaya Provincial Court warrant and questioned Ms Pornsuda, who identified herself as the homeowner, but no illegal drugs or prohibited items were discovered. At a second property in Moo 3, Huai Yai, officers arrested two Chinese nationals identified as Mr. Yang and Miss Son on charges of possessing untaxed goods under the Excise Tax Act 2017. At the same property officers also arrested Mr. Sun, a Chinese national, and Ms Kanthamon, a Thai citizen, after finding 11.44 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, 12 ecstasy tablets and psychotropic substances classified as Category 2 drugs, commonly known as “pod K” or etomidate. The suspects were charged with possession of Category 1 narcotics with intent to sell, possession of Category 2 psychotropic substances, concealing or receiving untaxed goods under customs law and illegal drug use. Investigators also seized 10 assets believed to be connected to serious narcotics offences under Thailand’s narcotics code. Confiscated items included a Honda HR-V, two Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags, a Sublue diving device, four electronic devices comprising an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPad Air, as well as two bank books. Officials estimated the total value of the seized assets at about 800,000 baht. Authorities said officers from Narcotics Suppression Division 2 in Pattaya and ONCB Region 2 would continue investigating financial transactions and other individuals linked to the network. The operation forms part of the government’s campaign against narcotics trafficking and Chinese organised crime groups operating in Thailand. The crackdown follows directives issued by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Justice Minister Rutthapol Naowarat and ONCB secretary-general Suriya Singhakamol to intensify action against new forms of narcotics, particularly etomidate vaping devices and crimes affecting Thailand’s tourism image.

Deputy government spokeswoman Lallida Perdwivattana said the administration had already launched aggressive enforcement measures before the opposition’s public statements. Get today's headlines by email Speaking at Government House on 25 May, Lallida said the government under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul had not ignored organised crime issues. She said authorities had intensified operations against Chinese criminal gangs, nominee businesses, proxy ownership schemes and foreign influence networks in several key areas across Thailand. Lallida argued that many of the high-profile cases currently known to the public had emerged because the government had expanded investigations and enforcement efforts. She said the administration had “never hidden problems under the carpet” and was committed to removing illegal networks operating in the country. She cited the case involving Mingchen Sun, in Chon Buri province, which initially began as a vehicle accident investigation. According to Lallida, Prime Ministerial orders for a deeper police investigation led to the arrest of 11 additional suspects, including civilians and former Royal Thai Navy officers, while authorities also examined military weapons trafficking, pink ID card ownership and nominee networks nationwide. The spokeswoman also referred to a case in Sa Kaeo province involving police officers accused of abducting and extorting a Chinese national. She said all four officers involved had been immediately dismissed from service and were facing full criminal prosecution without protection from within the organisation. Lallida said the government had already introduced preventative measures against nominee ownership and foreign property acquisitions before the opposition criticism. These included cancelling the 60-day visa-free scheme for 93 countries, establishing a committee to review Thailand’s visa system and ordering the Department of Lands to investigate shareholder structures and financial trails linked to suspicious entities nationwide. She added that the Department of Lands was working with the Department of Special Investigation, the Anti-Money Laundering Office and the Department of Business Development to expand investigations into nominee networks. Land offices nationwide had also been instructed to report inspection results involving suspicious legal entities every three months. Lallida called on opposition figures to submit any evidence relating to nominee companies or criminal networks directly to the Royal Thai Police, DSI or the Anti-Money Laundering Office instead of releasing details through the media first. She warned that premature publicity could damage evidence or allow suspects to flee prosecution. She said foreign nominee ownership and proxy business structures were long-standing structural problems that had existed for decades. However, Lallida claimed the current administration was the first government to conduct nationwide investigations into shareholder structures and financial routes rather than relying solely on document inspections. Thaitabloid reported that the government insisted it would continue enforcing the law directly and would not allow Thailand to become a safe haven for transnational criminal organisations.

The alert came after a follower reported that the product, marketed for culinary use, is actually copper-based foil intended for arts and crafts, posing potential health risks if consumed. Get today's headlines by email The Drama-addict page stated that the misleadingly labeled foil is readily available on major e-commerce platforms, with some listings showing sales of over 10,000 units. The page's administrator bought samples and pointed out that the unusually low price of about 20 baht per vial suggested the product was not authentic edible gold foil, which is typically priced much higher. Further examination revealed that the product behaved differently from genuine gold leaf, as it formed clumps when handled and blackened when exposed to a flame, indicating it is likely made from another metal or alloy. The page accused some sellers of falsely marketing the item as "food-grade edible gold." The report raises concerns about the safety of these products, emphasizing the potential health risks of ingesting unapproved metals. It called on authorities to investigate and intervene to prevent further consumer exposure. The page underscored the urgency by highlighting significant sales volumes, suggesting widespread distribution. Future actions may involve regulatory agencies inspecting the products and taking measures to ensure consumer safety. The goal is to prevent further risks and hold accountable those responsible for mislabeling the goods. Join the discussion? Already a member?

This raised immediate concerns over the welfare of protected marine wildlife. The footage, shared by The Phuket Times on May 23, shows tourists holding the turtle, prompting online debate about potential harm and legal implications. Get today's headlines by email The video sparked mixed reactions. Some criticised the tourists for interfering with marine life, while others noted the turtle appeared unharmed. Local fishermen indicated the turtle might have been a young one displaced by rough seas. They said these animals usually steer clear of people and boats. Environmental accounts warn that disturbing wildlife, such as sea turtles, can incur serious penalties. While Thailand's Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act focuses on hunting and possession, causing harm or distress could potentially breach its regulations. Experts caution that human interference, even if not immediately harmful, might disrupt marine ecosystems over time. Authorities are yet to release an official statement, but police and relevant agencies are investigating and considering legal actions. This incident is similar to one last November on Similan Island, where a tourist fed a turtle a rubber wristband. Although officials intervened, details about any arrest remain undisclosed.
