The US confirmed to Iran by signing they are desperate for a way out and Itan will drag out negotiations. I cannot see them ever signing anything meaningful about giving up the Uranium they have processed. They also now know how desperate the US is to keep the straight open and Iran can open and close it easily. They will be super pleased to be charging $2 million for ships to transit, something Trump said he would not allow.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:37:25 +0000Having recently surrendered my Elder MRT card, and obtained a refund, I used my BBK credit card the other day for the first time to travel from Lak Song to Sukhumvit. Within seconds of tapping the card at the entrance gate my BBK mobile app notified me: “You have used X-1114 at MRT-BEM THB 0.00 17/06/26 12:53, Available Balance THB XX,XXX.XX” Upon exiting at Sukhumvit, I tapped my card at the gate expecting to receive an almost instantaneous mobile app notification informing me of the amount that MRT were charging for my journey. The gate opened, but no mobile app notification from BBK. In fact there was no notification during the rest of that day. The following morning at 06:00, I received a message on my mobile from BBK stating: “You have used X-1114@MRT-BEM THB 45.00 18/06/26 03:15” Normally when making any form of CC purchase, I get an almost instant notification via the mobile app. In this case there was an almost 12 hour delay. Is this normal when using a CC/Debit card with MRTs new system?Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:36:27 +0000That omission leaves quite a significant void, as it is arguably one of the most important details. The article is clear that he was released on bail until 18 September, some three months away, but it does not clarify whether that release was into a mental health facility, supervised care, or simply back into the wider community. If reports regarding mental instability or learning difficulties are accurate, that distinction matters enormously. For me, the key issue is public safety. Someone alleged to have committed an act of this nature should not simply be released back into the general public without appropriate safeguards in place. Whether those safeguards involve a secure mental health facility, supervised care, or some other form of oversight is a separate question. However, that is precisely the question that remains unanswered, leaving a significant void in the information available to the public. Whilst it may not be the police's responsibility to provide every detail, there is a legitimate public interest in understanding whether appropriate measures have been taken to ensure the safety of others. Simply announcing that an individual has been released on bail, without any context as to the nature of that release, inevitably raises questions and concerns.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:36:26 +0000Trolling post removed @BagwainFri, 19 Jun 2026 11:35:51 +0000He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and as far as has been reported, that allegation has not been downgraded nor dismissed. I'm not sure that has any real bearing on the situation. Whether they were parents or other guardians seems largely irrelevant. In the UK at least, in an environment like this, particularly when it isn't overcrowded, it's perfectly normal to allow a three-year-old a degree of freedom to wander, explore and investigate their surroundings while the adults remain a few metres behind, watching and supervising. That isn't negligence, it's simply how young children learn about the world around them. No reasonable parent expects to be protecting their child from a stranger suddenly picking them up and throwing them into a crocodile enclosure. Unless this individual had a documented history of violence or behaviour that would reasonably have led carers to believe he posed a danger to others, it seems quite a leap to start assigning blame to them. Having learning difficulties does not automatically make someone violent, nor does it place carers in a position where they can predict every unexpected act by an adult in their care. Indeed, but that in itself highlights the current temperature of the debate, shaped by a number of high-profile cases in recent years. Its no longer surprising that some people speculate about the background of suspects before the facts emerge. Whether those assumptions prove correct or not is another matter. The more telling observation is not that some guessed incorrectly, but that the same conclusion was 'jumped to' by a handful of people - perhaps the underlying reason for that is more telling.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:35:16 +0000A few brown envelopes distributed in the right places will put things right.....Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:34:29 +0000KnickerlessFri, 19 Jun 2026 11:34:04 +0000Troll posts using derogatory name calling removed. @boganJoe I have now removed the same post twice.

Get today's headlines by email Hussen, 34, appeared in a Sydney court on Thursday after being charged with attempting to import a commercial quantity of methamphetamine, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The actress is best known for playing Naz in the spin-off of the TV show E20, which debuted in 2010. She also appeared alongside Jason Statham in the 2013 action film Hummingbird. Drugs Allegedly Hidden in CharcoalPolice allege Hussen was involved in a scheme to import methamphetamine hidden inside bags of charcoal shipped from Ghana to Australia. The Australian Federal Police said the drugs, with an estimated street value of A$296 million (US$208 million), were discovered after border authorities detected irregularities in two shipping containers that arrived at Sydney's Port Botany in April. An X-ray examination of the containers, which were declared as carrying charcoal, revealed a white crystalline substance. Subsequent testing confirmed it was methamphetamine. Authorities removed the drugs before allowing the shipment to continue to a storage facility in the western Sydney suburb of Girraween. Picture courtesy of Australian Federal Police/Australian Border Force Arrests in Sydney and AdelaideInvestigators allege Hussen later attended the storage facility and oversaw the unloading of the container by several men. According to police, a number of bags were loaded into a vehicle and transported to a property in Blacktown, where officers subsequently arrested Hussen. Electronic devices and a notebook were also seized during the operation. As part of the wider investigation, police arrested a 30-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man in Adelaide. The pair have been charged with allegedly using false identities to rent the Sydney storage units where the shipment was delivered. Authorities Highlight Scale of SeizureDetective Acting Superintendent Trevor Robinson of the Australian Federal Police said the seizure had prevented a large quantity of drugs from entering the community. He said the haul, valued at A$296 million, could have resulted in an estimated 3.2 million street-level drug deals. Australian Border Force Superintendent Jared Leighton said criminal groups frequently attempt to conceal illicit substances within legitimate cargo. He said officers are trained to identify sophisticated concealment methods, including drugs hidden in everyday products such as charcoal. Hussen was previously denied bail and is scheduled to return to court in August. Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now.
