Get today's headlines by email Police from the Crime Suppression Division and Immigration Bureau arrested Chen, 55, Yuan, 54, Fei, 51, and Luo, 54, on 29 May. The suspects were detained under the Immigration Act on grounds they were believed to pose a threat to public safety and national security. “ The operation followed coordination between the Lancang-Mekong Law Enforcement Cooperation Centre and the transnational crime suppression centre of the Central Investigation Bureau. Chinese authorities had requested assistance in tracking down the four suspects, who were wanted by the Wuhan Public Security Bureau on charges of fraud involving forged documents. Investigators said the group was linked to a company contracted to carry out demolition and urban landscape restoration projects in Wuhan. Authorities allege the suspects falsified documents and information to fraudulently obtain compensation payments linked to demolition and land expropriation projects. Police said the group used the names and bank accounts of other people to receive compensation payments from Wuhan New City Land Management Company. The alleged fraud caused damages exceeding 18 million yuan. Thai investigators later discovered the suspects had entered Thailand and were hiding in the country using retirement visas as cover. Officers traced the group to a house in a residential estate in the Huay Yai area of Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri.

The Romans massacred a massive portion of the Jewish population, methodically leveled the city, completely destroyed the Second Temple, and enslaved or displaced tens of thousands of survivors. The devastating consequences of the Roman victory permanently altered Jewish history and the landscape of the ancient world: Roman soldiers burned and dismantled the Second Temple. Today, the Western Wall is the only remaining retaining wall of the Temple Mount, which remains a primary site of Jewish pilgrimage and prayer. The siege lasted for months, causing horrific famine and factional violence inside the city walls. An estimated 600,000 to one million Jews died from starvation, disease, and the sword. The Romans looted sacred Temple artifacts—including the Menorah—and paraded them through the streets of Rome during a triumphal procession. Surviving Jewish captives were either forced into gladiatorial combat, executed, or sold into slavery across the empire. NOW WHERE DO YOU SEE THEM PESKY 'PALESTININAS' IN ALL OF THE ABOVE?? The British mandate of the land of Palestina declared the kingdoms of Jorden as the home for the Palestinians and indeed, hundred of thousand of them are peacefully living in Jordan, But I'm sure that all the above means nothing to you because of your hearted of anything Jewish.Fri, 29 May 2026 22:46:53 +0000Was he behaving fine - were you were there to confirm that and to support your claim of him being harassed, correct?

Get today's headlines by email Griffiths, 58, died in February after falling from a 17th-floor balcony in Thailand. The businessman had been involved in a legal dispute with his second wife, Ploy Kringsinthanakun, 43, over custody of their two children, aged 12 and 13, following their divorce. Adult children from Griffiths’ first marriage had sought permission to take the pair to Britain for the funeral. Quentin’s son Joel, 29, told the court he would return the children to Thailand after the service. However, a Thai judge ruled against the request, stating that Joel could not provide written details of the funeral arrangements. The court also expressed concern about allowing the children to leave Thailand without their mother’s consent while custody proceedings remain unresolved. Ploy’s lawyer, Mona Mankong, said the court believed international travel could complicate enforcement of future rulings. She said: “The court stated that allowing the children to travel abroad without the mother’s consent, and outside the jurisdiction of the Thai courts, could create serious complications in enforcing future court orders. “For that reason, the court found it inappropriate to permit the children to travel to England, even for their father’s funeral.” Mankong added that her client was relieved by the outcome. She said: “She believes that if the children had been allowed to leave the country, she might never have had the chance to see them again.” The case follows a series of legal and financial disputes linked to Griffiths before his death. The ASOS co-founder had been facing possible jail time in Thailand after allegedly fraudulently removing Ploy as a director from a company they created to purchase their marital home. Last month, it was also reported by The Sun, that nearly $4 million in cryptocurrency disappeared from Griffiths’ online wallet in the days following his death. Joel’s family declined to comment on the latest court ruling. The custody dispute is expected to continue in the Thai courts. No further details have been released regarding funeral arrangements or any future legal applications involving the children.

The exercises focused on the use of advanced counter-unmanned aircraft systems, including radio frequency weapons and high-technology ammunition systems designed to detect, track and intercept hostile drones quickly and accurately. Get today's headlines by email On 26 May 2026, the Royal Thai Air Force announced the operation through its official Facebook page, outlining efforts to strengthen national security capabilities amid evolving airborne threats. The military said the training was intended to improve readiness and ensure the protection of Thai airspace in all situations. The exercises form part of broader joint operations involving the Thai armed forces, reflecting increasing concern over the growing use of drones in both military and civilian security threats worldwide. According to the statement, modern threats can no longer be managed effectively by a single branch of the military acting alone. The Air Force said it was focusing on integrated cooperation between all sectors to reinforce national security and improve rapid-response capabilities. Training covered both projectile-based systems and modern radio frequency countermeasures capable of disrupting or disabling unmanned aerial vehicles. The announcement follows recent efforts by Thailand to modernise its air defence capabilities. In recent months, the Air Force has highlighted plans linked to the procurement of Gripen E/F fighter aircraft and wider defence cooperation initiatives with Sweden. Military leaders have also publicly demonstrated combat readiness, including recent F-16 patrol operations along Thailand’s western border. Security analysts have increasingly warned that drones pose new risks to military installations, infrastructure and public safety due to their low cost and ability to evade conventional air defence systems. Many countries in the region have accelerated investment in anti-drone technologies as unmanned aircraft become more sophisticated and accessible. Thai military officials said cooperation between agencies would remain central to future defence planning. The latest exercises are intended to improve coordination, operational speed and accuracy when responding to aerial threats or attempts to disrupt public security. Amarin reported that authorities did not disclose the location of the exercises or the number of personnel involved.

Get today's headlines by email The operation took place on the evening of 28 May after officials from the Chon Buri Provincial Employment Office received reports that Chinese nationals were working throughout the restaurant, including as parking attendants, reception staff, chefs, kitchen assistants and dishwashers. Officers said there were no Thai employees working at the premises. The raid followed an earlier operation the same day in which officials from the Chon Buri Provincial Employment Office and the Internal Security Operations Command raided a foreign labour service office in Bo Win. During that operation, officers arrested a Myanmar TikTok personality with more than 200,000 followers, along with a clerk and brokers from Myanmar, bringing the total detained in that case to five people. Authorities said all were working in occupations prohibited for foreign nationals. When officers entered the restaurant, several workers allegedly realised a raid was under way and locked the front doors from inside before attempting to flee through the rear of the building. Officials surrounded the premises and detained all nine suspects, identified as eight men and one woman, all Chinese nationals. Investigators found that the workers had entered Thailand on tourist visas but were allegedly employed without legal work permits. Authorities said the case highlighted growing concerns over the illegal employment of foreign workers in economic zones and industrial estate areas in Chon Buri province. Pictures courtesy of แจ็ค โพธิ์แดง All nine suspects were taken to Bo Win Police Station to face charges of working as foreign nationals without work permits under Section 8 and penalties under Section 101 of Thai labour law. Officials said further investigations would examine the employer, associated individuals and any wider network involved in bringing illegal foreign workers into the province. The Daily News reported that provincial employment officials stated that enforcement operations would continue in an effort to prevent illegal employment practices, protect jobs for Thai workers and maintain order within Thailand’s labour system.
