https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenUS president Donald Trump has continued his string of weird takes on the English language, following up on his claim that “a lot of people don’t know ‘dumb’ has a B in it” with his own bizarre definition for the word ‘ceasefire’. After facing a question about a ceasefire with Iran - the negotiations for which the president said have “gone very well” – the Republican was asked how he would define that particular term. “It’s a different part of the world. I’d say in that part of the world, ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner. “A ceasefire there is much different than a ceasefire in other parts of the world,” he replied. And this description was subsequently ridiculed online, with Republicans Against Trump simply writing: “Huh?” Trump ridiculed over his 'hilarious' eight-word definition of 'ceasefire'Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:34:12 +0000Well Well Well it would appear 6 members of the family of the Brothers that attacked the police at Manchester Airport are serving in greater Manchester police and one of them has been suspended following a probe into alleged Racism it has been revealed.

The controversy comes as new data shows officers are more than five times more likely to stop and search a black person than a white person, a disparity higher than the national average and one that has widened in recent years. A Murder Case That Sparked a National Row The debate erupted after 18-year-old Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed in Southampton in December. When officers arrived, they treated the wounded teenager as a suspect rather than a victim after his attacker, Vickrum Digwa, allegedly claimed he had been racially abused. Despite telling police he had been stabbed and was struggling to breathe, Nowak was handcuffed and arrested at the scene. The case has since fuelled allegations of "two-tier policing" and prompted comparisons with some of the most controversial failures in modern British policing. Stop-and-Search Figures Add Fuel to the Fire Official data shows Hampshire officers were 5.1 times more likely to stop and search a black person than a white person during the latest reporting year. The figure exceeds the England and Wales average of 3.8 and marks an increase from previous years. Police carried out around 15,000 stop-and-searches, with roughly 60 per cent resulting in no further action or advice. Critics argue the statistics raise questions about racial disproportionality. Police leaders nationally continue to defend stop and search as a key crime-fighting tool while pledging to reduce disparities. Competing Claims Over Bias The case has become a flashpoint in the wider debate over fairness in the criminal justice system. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has compared the failures in the Nowak case to those surrounding the murder of Stephen Lawrence. However, Lawrence's friend Duwayne Brooks rejected claims of anti-white racism, arguing the case reflected poor policing rather than racial favouritism. Pressure Builds as Investigations Continue The Independent Office for Police Conduct is continuing its investigation and is due to update Nowak's family this month. So far, the watchdog says it has found no indication of criminal or disciplinary offences by officers, though it stresses that assessment remains under review. A jury inquest next year will examine the circumstances surrounding Nowak's death and the police response that has left Hampshire Police facing some of the most intense scrutiny in its history.

He made these claims on Truth Social, alleging Democrats are trying to "steal" the elections and questioning the "very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS" and vote counting delays. The accusations came before final results were tallied for California's open primary, where the top two vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of party. Trump declares election stolen while votes continue to be counted Trump prematurely congratulated Steve Hilton on winning the gubernatorial primary, despite results not being confirmed, and pledged federal support if Hilton became governor.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:17:21 +0000I never knew they are related.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:13:35 +0000Ukraine puts occupied Horlivka under fire control: What it means for Russia's forces© RBC-Ukraine (UK) Ukrainian forces say they have established effective fire control over the occupied city of Horlivka, striking at one of Russia’s most important logistics hubs in eastern Ukraine and increasing pressure on Moscow’s frontline operations. The development marks the latest stage in Kyiv’s expanding campaign to disrupt Russian supply routes far behind the front, using drones and precision strikes to target vehicles, ammunition and troop movements. A Key Russian Hub Comes Under Pressure According to Ukraine’s 28th Mechanized Brigade, Russian military transport entering Horlivka is now being regularly targeted. “Everything that enters occupied Horlivka burns there,” the brigade said, describing a growing tempo of strikes against trucks, cars and all-terrain vehicles operating inside the city. Located roughly 35 to 40 kilometres from Ukrainian positions, Horlivka has long served as a crucial rear-area base for Russian forces. Occupied since 2014, it became an even more important logistics centre following Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022. The Supply Route Russia Cannot Afford to Lose Military analysts say the significance of Horlivka extends far beyond the city itself. The hub supports Russian operations on the Kostiantynivka axis, helping move personnel, equipment and ammunition toward active combat zones. If Ukrainian forces can consistently disrupt movement through the city, Russian units at the front could face growing delays and shortages. The pressure also extends to surrounding road networks linking occupied territories across Donetsk. Several key routes are now believed to be within range of Ukrainian drone operations. Kyiv Expands Its Logistics War The strikes form part of a broader Ukrainian strategy aimed at attacking Russia’s operational depth rather than focusing solely on frontline positions. In recent months, Ukrainian drones have increasingly targeted warehouses, command points and transport infrastructure across occupied territory. Officials have described the effort as a “Logistics Lockdown” campaign designed to weaken Russia’s ability to sustain offensive operations. A New Battlefield Emerging Behind the Front The contest for eastern Ukraine is no longer being fought solely in trenches and urban strongholds. By targeting the roads, vehicles and depots that keep Russian forces supplied, Kyiv is attempting to turn distance into a weapon. If pressure on Horlivka continues to intensify, the effects could ripple across multiple sectors of the front, complicating Moscow’s plans and forcing commanders to rethink how they move men and materiel through occupied Donetsk.

The move stunned supporters of the pair, who boast millions of followers online and are among the most prominent left-wing voices in American media. Yet ministers did not spell out exactly what they meant by the broad phrase used to justify the ban. Piker and Uygur have accused the government of targeting them because of their outspoken criticism of Israel. Both men have also faced accusations of antisemitism from critics, claims they deny. The controversy has ignited a wider debate about free speech, political criticism and where governments draw the line when deciding who can enter the country. The spotlight has also fallen on comments made by public figures who have not faced similar restrictions. Critics of the ban point to remarks previously made by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, including statements about Arabs that he later apologised for. Questions have also been raised about consistency. Former Israeli president Isaac Herzog was welcomed in London and met Prime Minister Keir Starmer in 2025 despite criticism surrounding remarks he made after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. But the dispute has rapidly grown beyond the fate of two American commentators. At the heart of the argument is a battle over what governments, media organisations and political leaders define as “good” and “bad” in public debate. Supporters of the Palestinian cause argue that certain basic moral principles should not be controversial. They point to the deaths of civilians, destruction of healthcare systems, displacement of communities and the targeting of non-combatants as examples of conduct that should be universally condemned. The article draws heavily on the writings of American activist Rachel Corrie, who travelled to Gaza in 2003. Corrie described witnessing what she believed was the systematic destruction of Palestinian life and wrote of her fear and shock at what she saw. Not long after writing those reflections, Corrie was killed by an Israeli bulldozer while attempting to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home in Rafah. The debate has intensified further because of restrictions on reporting from Gaza. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Israel has carried out more targeted killings of journalists than any other military documented by the organisation since it began keeping records in 1992. The article states that at least 235 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza. Foreign journalists continue to face severe restrictions on access to the territory. Critics argue this has limited independent scrutiny of events on the ground. The article also points to claims of media bias. It highlights research by author Adam Johnson, who examined thousands of articles and television segments about Gaza. According to that analysis, words such as “massacre”, “barbaric”, “savage” and “slaughter” were frequently used to describe Israeli deaths, while equivalent language was not applied to Palestinian deaths. Johnson also argued that repeated descriptions of Gaza's major cities as “Hamas strongholds” blurred the distinction between civilians and combatants. The row comes amid wider claims that criticism of Israel faces increasing restrictions across Western countries. The article cites pro-Palestinian demonstrations, deportations of students and cancelled events involving public figures as evidence of what it describes as a growing “Palestine exception” to free speech. Meanwhile, Labour MP Emily Thornberry, chair of the foreign affairs select committee, said this week that the UK government had let down the Palestinian people and that Israel’s “sense of impunity is staggering”. Piker has fiercely rejected the decision to bar him from Britain. “My opinion is the majority’s opinion, and they can’t arrest every single person, right?” he told The Times. He argued that authorities were attempting to create a “chilling effect” on criticism of Israel by making examples of prominent media figures. The British government has not publicly provided a detailed explanation of why Piker and Uygur were judged not to be “conducive to the public good”. That unanswered question now sits at the centre of an increasingly bitter political storm. As pressure mounts and criticism grows louder, the debate over free speech, Israel and the limits of political dissent shows no sign of fading away.

Is your beef that Drummond exposed a convicted paedophile who ran a bar in Phnom Penh who ran trips to feed the children of the Stung Meanchey dump in Phnom Penh. After being exposed by Andrew Drummond Fletcher subsequently fled to Bangkok where he was arrested and deported back to Cambodia for failing to declare his criminal record. In Cambodia he was jailed for ten years for the rape of a minor. The minor was older than the minor who was found to be working for your hero. You really are the gift that keeps on giving. I do not need to call Drummond for his answer on this. He'll be laughing his socks off. The video was on tape, not digital, hence it deteriorates. Check it out. This is not a link to a Drummond story, its an independent one.
