https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenA spearfisher has died after being attacked by a shark on the Great Barrier Reef, marking Australia’s second fatal shark attack in just over a week, police have said in recent days in Australian waters. Get today's headlines by email The 39-year-old man was diving with three friends from a boat at Kennedy Shoal off the Queensland coast south of Cairns on Sunday when the incident occurred during a diving trip at sea, according to police. Police Inspector Elaine Burns said the man was spearfishing when he was attacked and suffered a fatal head injury in Queensland waters. Attack off Queensland reefKennedy Shoal is a shallow coral reef popular with recreational fishers and divers. It is also known for the nearby Lady Bowen shipwreck, a 19th-century wreck that attracts visitors, according to local authorities. Police said fishers in the area had previously reported sightings of bull sharks before the attack. Emergency response and victim detailsThe victim, a resident of Cairns, was brought by boat to the tourist town of Hull Heads around midday, shortly after the attack, where paramedics were waiting. An ambulance service statement said he had “sustained injuries not compatible with life”, according to the ambulance service. Inspector Burns said the man died from a critical head injury. Recent fatal attacks and national tollThe incident follows another fatal shark attack on 16 May at a coral reef off Rottnest Island near the southwest coast of Western Australia in another incident. In that case, spearfisher Steve Mattabonni, a 38-year-old Perth resident, was fatally injured. He was taken by boat to the holiday island, where paramedics were unable to resuscitate him, in that case. A five-metre white shark was suspected by authorities. Australia has recorded an average of more than three fatal shark attacks a year in recent decades over time. The latest death is Australia’s third shark fatality of 2026 so far. Earlier this year, 12-year-old Nico Antic died in hospital days after being attacked by a suspected bull shark off a Sydney beach on 18 January this year. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email White House Communications Director Steven Cheung accused Pompeo of commenting without proper knowledge of ongoing negotiations, escalating a public dispute over the direction of US policy on Iran. Cheung said Pompeo “has no idea what the f— he’s talking about” and urged him to stop commenting on the talks, arguing that he was not briefed on current developments and therefore could not accurately assess the situation. Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State during the first Trump administration, had earlier criticised the reported outline of a deal in a post on X, saying it did not align with an “America First” approach. Criticism of emerging Iran frameworkIn his remarks, Pompeo compared the reported negotiations to earlier diplomatic efforts linked to Obama-era officials, referencing figures involved in previous Iran nuclear talks, including Wendy Sherman, Robert Malley and Ben Rhodes. He argued that the approach being discussed would strengthen Iran’s military-linked institutions and warned against financial concessions, urging a far tougher strategy toward Tehran. His comments formed part of a wider wave of criticism from Republican figures. Several Republican lawmakers, including Senators Roger Wicker, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, also raised concerns about the emerging framework, reflecting divisions within conservative ranks over how to handle Iran. Limited details of proposed agreementDetails of the proposed deal remain limited, but reports suggest it may include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route through which around a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes. Any disruption or reopening of the passage has significant implications for global energy markets. The reported framework also appears to include lifting a blockade on Iranian ports and establishing a temporary 60-day ceasefire intended to allow further negotiations on longer-term issues. However, the proposal does not appear to include immediate restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme, a point that has drawn criticism from conservatives and former officials who argue the omission is a major weakness. US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that final details of the agreement were still being discussed and would be announced soon. He also indicated that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would be part of any deal. Tensions over past policy and alliancesPompeo served in Trump’s first administration but later became politically distanced from parts of the former president’s circle. Relations between the two have remained strained since Trump returned to office in 2025. The exchange also reflects wider disagreements over US strategy toward Iran, particularly the legacy of the Obama-era nuclear agreement, which the Trump administration previously withdrew from and has repeatedly criticised. Trump has also previously revoked security protection for Pompeo and other former officials with whom he fell out, despite ongoing threats reportedly linked to Iran. Join the discussion?

I have no idea why, I mean your exclusive club with “born by Mama only” membership might feel annoying to some people but is no reason for what has been done to Jews over the centuries and millennia. Are you really not aware that except that murdering millions thing everything else you wrote is a very apt description of how Israel acts Are you talking about Iran now or about Gaza? However, history has been full of declarations like this. You should know, remember that little guy with the funny moustache killing millions of Jews? And wasn't it Trump who lately said about Iran “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” To declare the annihilation of a civilization or country is a serious thing, I might remember that Hamas once had it in their charta, long removed by now. But the Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, stating that he will wipe out Israel from the map, it's just an Israeli propaganda fairy tale. He was not known to be very intelligent and therefore he explained his attitude towards Israel with the words of a child: He said: the Holocaust was committed by the Germans so why do the Palestinians have to pay for that. Wouldn't it be much more just if someone would cut out Israel from the map and place it somewhere in Germany? Naive, or more likely very stupid, yet not what the western media later made of it However, a declaration is just telling people your intentions. The question is whether you are or will ever be able to act on it. When I was 10 I fell in love with Olivia Newton John and I promised myself that one day I would marry her - guess what - never happened. Israel is doing much worse things to the Palestinians and now to the Lebanese than the Palestinians or Hamas have ever dreamt of.Sun, 24 May 2026 20:43:49 +0000It will be but a small chunk of your 20 million baht:Sun, 24 May 2026 20:41:38 +0000Iran’s football federation says Fifa has approved a request to move the country’s World Cup training base from the United States to Mexico ahead of next month’s tournament. Get today's headlines by email The president of the Iranian Football Federation, Mehdi Taj, said the team would now be based in the Mexican border city of Tijuana instead of Tucson. Fifa has not yet publicly confirmed the change. Iran had originally been assigned a base camp in Arizona for the tournament, which is being jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. However, uncertainty linked to the conflict in the Middle East and related security concerns prompted discussions over relocating the team’s preparations. Tournament scheduleIran are due to begin their campaign against New Zealand in Los Angeles on 15 June before facing Belgium in the same city six days later. Their final group match is scheduled against Egypt in Seattle on 26 June. Speaking about the move, Taj said the federation had held talks with Fifa and World Cup officials in Istanbul and also took part in an online meeting from Tehran with Fifa secretary general Mattias Grafstrom. He said the request to relocate the camp to Mexico had been accepted and added that Tijuana’s location offered shorter travel times to match venues. According to Taj, flights from Tijuana to Los Angeles would take less than an hour, making logistics easier compared with the original Arizona base. Iran’s squad are currently training in Antalya ahead of the tournament, which begins on 11 June. Visa concerns remainThe preparations have also been affected by visa issues involving Iranian players and officials. Earlier this month, Taj said members of the national team were still waiting to receive visas to enter the United States for the competition. The Iranian federation has reportedly submitted a list of conditions to Fifa regarding participation in the tournament. These include requests for visas to be granted to players, coaches and officials who previously completed military service with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said Iranian players would be welcomed at the World Cup, although individuals linked to the IRGC could face restrictions on entry. In April, Taj and several other Iranian football officials were denied entry into Canada ahead of Fifa’s annual congress in Vancouver. Canada’s immigration minister later said Taj’s visa had been cancelled because of alleged links to the IRGC. Some members of Iran’s squad travelled to the US embassy in Ankara on Thursday to submit visa applications for the tournament. Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now.

Get today's headlines by email Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv was the primary target of the strikes, though several other regions were also hit. Loud explosions were reported across the capital through the night, while residential buildings, a school, an opera house and a museum suffered damage. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 90 missiles and 600 drones from Saturday evening onwards. Preliminary data indicated that 55 ballistic and cruise missiles and 549 drones were intercepted or destroyed, while 19 missiles may have failed to reach their targets. Officials also reported 16 direct missile strikes and 51 drone impacts across 54 locations. Kyiv Under Heavy FireKyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said two people were killed inside the city and 36 others, including two children, were taken to hospital. One fatality occurred after a nine-storey apartment building in Kyiv’s Shevchenko district was struck, sparking a fire on the upper floors. In the same district, debris from another strike blocked the entrance to an air raid shelter at a school, trapping several people inside. Emergency crews were deployed across the capital to extinguish fires, clear rubble and treat the wounded. In the surrounding Kyiv region, regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk said two additional people had been killed. He described the strikes as “deliberate terror against peaceful people”. Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said the Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv had been heavily damaged. He called it “a deliberate attack on history, memory, and truth”. Other regions including Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy and Zhytomyr were also targeted, according to Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha. Dispute Over Oreshnik MissileRussia’s defence ministry said the attacks were carried out in response to what it described as Ukrainian strikes on civilian infrastructure. Ukraine’s military denies targeting civilians. Moscow also claimed it used the Oreshnik hypersonic missile during the assault. The weapon is believed to travel at more than 10 times the speed of sound and is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. President Zelensky said the missile had been launched at Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, though Ukraine’s presidential office later said investigations were continuing to confirm exactly which weapons had been used. If verified, it would mark the third known use of the Oreshnik missile since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022 under President Vladimir Putin. International ReactionEuropean leaders condemned the strikes and the reported use of the hypersonic missile. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticised the attack, while EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the missile’s use as “reckless nuclear-brinkmanship”. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the scenes in Kyiv were “awful” and pledged continued pressure on Russia. The assault came days after Russian officials accused Ukraine of attacking a student dormitory in the occupied town of Starobilsk, where Moscow said 21 people were killed. Ukraine acknowledged carrying out a strike in the area but said it targeted an elite Russian drone unit. Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now.

Get today's headlines by email The boys, aged 13 and 14 at the time of the offences, were sentenced at Southampton Crown Court on Thursday after attacks on two girls in Fordingbridge in November 2024 and January 2025. Two of the boys, both now aged 15, and another now aged 14, were instead given Youth Rehabilitation Orders (YROs), community-based sentences for children that can include curfews, supervision and treatment requirements. Review of sentencesSpeaking after one of the victims criticised the ruling in an interview with the BBC, Starmer said the case was being urgently reviewed by the attorney general. In a post on X, the prime minister said the girls had shown “extraordinary bravery and strength in heinous circumstances”. “This is an appalling case and it is right that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences,” he said. The attorney general now has 28 days to decide whether to refer the sentences to the Court of Appeal under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. Cabinet Office minister Darren Jones said ministers expected the review to move more quickly because of the seriousness of the case. Victim criticises rulingOne of the victims, now aged 16, told the BBC the decision felt like “a rock straight in my face”. She said the outcome made it appear that what had happened to the girls was “not OK, but it was OK in the eyes of the law because they were still children”. The teenager questioned why she had gone through the court process and relived the attacks during the trial if the punishment amounted to what she described as “a slap on the wrist”. She had been 15 when she was raped in an underpass near the River Avon after travelling to meet one of the boys, who had contacted her through Snapchat. The second victim, aged 14 at the time, was raped in a field. The assaults were filmed on mobile phones, with some footage later shared online. Judge cited age of offendersAt sentencing, Judge Nicholas Rowland said he wanted to avoid “criminalising these children unnecessarily”, despite acknowledging the seriousness of the offences. He said the filming of the attacks made the crimes “even more serious”, but also praised the boys for their behaviour during the trial. One 15-year-old received a three-year YRO with 180 days of intensive supervision for raping both girls and for indecent image offences. The second 15-year-old received the same sentence for multiple rape charges and indecent image offences. The 14-year-old was given an 18-month YRO after being convicted of encouraging one of the rapes. Under UK law, offenders under 18 serve custodial sentences in secure youth facilities rather than adult prisons. Political reactionSenior politicians from across parties criticised the sentences. Robert Jenrick said justice had not been done and questioned whether judges should face greater accountability for sentencing decisions. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said she was “sickened” by the case, while Liberal Democrat justice spokesperson Ben Maguire called the crimes “utterly horrific”. Rachel de Souza said she was “deeply concerned” and that her office would contact the families to offer support. A government spokesperson said ministers shared the public’s “shock” at the details of the case and confirmed that law officers were reviewing the sentences “with the utmost care and attention”.

The post, published Sunday morning, marks another dramatic escalation in Trump’s long-running campaign against political opponents as his administration faces mounting accusations of weaponizing the justice system. ‘The Shady Bunch’ Post Ignites Firestorm The graphic showed Obama alongside former CIA director John Brennan, former FBI director James Comey, former director of national intelligence James Clapper and other senior national security figures. Styled like a parody television cast image, the post labelled the group “The Shady Bunch”. Trump added: “This is a bad (Sick!) group of people. Very destructive to our great Nation.” The image also targeted former national security adviser Susan Rice, former UN ambassador Samantha Power, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and former deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, whom the graphic branded “Ben ‘Hamas’ Rhodes”. Obamagate Rhetoric Returns The post revives Trump’s years-long “Obamagate” claims accusing Obama-era officials of illegally targeting his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump and his allies have repeatedly alleged political spying and corruption inside US intelligence agencies, despite multiple investigations failing to establish evidence of a criminal conspiracy against him. The latest message arrives as Trump’s Justice Department continues aggressive moves against perceived political enemies, deepening fears among critics over the politicisation of federal power. Political Temperature Keeps Rising The imagery immediately triggered alarm among opponents who viewed it as a direct threat against a former president and senior officials. The post also underlined how Trump’s political rhetoric has become increasingly confrontational as the White House battles multiple domestic and international crises, including deepening tensions over Iran and widening divisions inside Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, Trump’s strategy appears increasingly centred on confrontation, grievance and loyalty tests — a political climate in which former allies, intelligence chiefs and even ex-presidents are now openly cast as enemies of the state. Trump posts image of Obama in prison jumpsuit on Truth SocialSun, 24 May 2026 20:10:15 +0000US President Donald Trump has told American negotiators not to rush efforts to secure a deal with Iran, despite reports suggesting an agreement may be close. Get today's headlines by email Media reports in the United States said discussions have focused on a possible 60-day extension of the current ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and continued negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump described the talks as “constructive” but stressed that both sides should proceed carefully. “Negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side,” Trump wrote. He added: “Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!” Talks Continue Despite Remaining DisputesTrump had said on Saturday that an agreement had been “largely negotiated”, fuelling speculation that a breakthrough announcement could be imminent. However, Iranian media later reported that disagreements remain over “one or two” unresolved issues. Iranian officials have also indicated that progress has been made, though foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei cautioned that key matters had not yet been settled. Baghaei said negotiations were moving forward but warned that this did not guarantee final agreements on the most sensitive issues. Conflict and CeasefireThe latest diplomatic efforts follow months of conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States. On 28 February, Israel and the US launched major air strikes on Iran. Tehran responded with drones and missile attacks targeting Israel and US-linked sites across Gulf countries. A ceasefire reached in April was intended to create space for negotiations and has mostly held, although occasional exchanges of fire have continued. Nuclear Programme and HormuzTrump repeated Washington’s long-standing position that Iran must not develop a nuclear weapon. The United States and its allies accuse Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons capability through uranium enrichment. Iran has consistently denied the allegation, insisting its nuclear activities are for peaceful civilian purposes. Trump also said the US blockade on Iranian ports, introduced in early April, would remain in place until any agreement is fully finalised and signed. At the same time, Iran has maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important shipping route through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies pass. Restrictions around the strait have contributed to rising global energy prices. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier that negotiations had produced “significant” but “not final” progress. Rubio suggested there could soon be positive developments regarding the strait, saying recent discussions could potentially lead to a “completely open strait... without tolls”. Mediation EffortsBaghaei told Iranian state television on Saturday that Tehran was preparing a “memorandum of understanding” aimed at extending discussions and eventually securing a final agreement. Trump also referred to a possible memorandum in a separate Truth Social post. Meanwhile, Ishaq Dar, whose government has been helping mediate the talks, said recent negotiations offered “grounds for optimism” and suggested a positive outcome could be “within reach”. Despite the upbeat signals, several US media outlets reported that officials did not expect a formal agreement to be signed on Sunday. Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now.

The US president shared a mocked-up image of himself towering over a Greenlandic town alongside the caption: “Hello, Greenland!” The post landed just days after Washington opened a new consulate in the capital Nuuk and floated plans for expanded American military bases on the island. Arctic Power Struggle Heats Up The timing has sharpened fears that Trump’s long-running obsession with Greenland is moving beyond rhetoric. Earlier this month, reports emerged that the United States was seeking to establish three new military bases on the territory, with proposals reportedly involving areas designated as US sovereign land. The White House confirmed “high-level talks” with both Greenlandic and Danish officials. Washington insists the Arctic is becoming a critical security front as Russia and China expand their presence in the region. US ambassador to Denmark Kenneth Howery said the Arctic was now of “global importance” and pledged America would remain involved in Greenland’s future “as allies and partners”. Greenlanders Push Back The response inside Greenland has been furious. Demonstrators gathered in Nuuk over the weekend as US special envoy Jeff Landry attended the opening of the new American consulate. Protesters accused Washington of ignoring Greenlandic opposition to deeper US control. “One protester told the BBC: ‘In a democratic world, no means no.’” The backlash reflects growing anxiety that Greenland is being pulled into a geopolitical contest far larger than itself. Trump’s Arctic Ambition Returns Trump has openly pursued Greenland since his first term, arguing the US needs greater control in the Arctic to counter strategic threats from Moscow and Beijing. The island’s location makes it one of the world’s most valuable military and shipping chokepoints. As melting ice opens new Arctic sea routes, competition for influence in the region has intensified dramatically. The United States has attempted to buy Greenland before — first in 1846 and again after the Second World War in 1946. Trump revived the idea in 2019. Now, critics fear the pressure campaign is entering a far more aggressive phase.

But, now, the nitwit designers of basic household appliances ask me to learn even more….random and idiotic symbols...??? NO WAY…Jose.
