Get today's headlines by email The injured man was identified as Colin Kearney, a British national staying at a hotel in the Kalim Beach area of Patong. At approximately 4.10am, Phuket Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers attended the scene and took him to Patong Hospital after he was discovered lying on Phra Barami Road, near a pedestrian crossing, with a head injury. Following the report from Patong Hospital, investigators informed Pol Col Korakrit Khankhruea, superintendent of Patong Police Station, who attended the scene and monitored the tourist’s condition. Medical staff later transfered Kearney to Vachira Phuket Hospital as his condition was described as critical. Initial inquiries found that Kearney had taken a red tuk-tuk back to his hotel before the incident. A dispute arose over the fare because he did not have cash available. He then left the hotel in the same vehicle to withdraw money from an ATM in order to pay the driver. Police reviewing CCTV footage identified the vehicle as a Phuket-registered tuk-tuk. Hotel security staff had also recorded details of the vehicle when it arrived at the property. Investigators believe the driver left the hotel, turned towards Kamala and may have been heading to an ATM. Further CCTV footage showed the tuk-tuk travelling back towards Patong at around 4.02am. The vehicle reportedly passed The Nature hotel without turning in to drop off the passenger and was seen travelling at speed before Kearney fell from the vehicle and suffered serious injuries. Police officers later visited the hospital to assess the victim’s condition while doctors continued emergency treatment. Investigators have submitted a request for medical examination documents for an official assessment of the injuries. The case has prompted a wider investigation by Patong Police, with detectives gathering evidence and examining the precise circumstances that led to the incident. Officers are also working to locate and question the tuk-tuk driver and if any other individuals are connected to the case. The Daily News reported that authorities have not yet determined the exact cause of the incident. The investigation remains ongoing as police continue reviewing evidence and preparing possible legal action against those found to be involved. Picture courtesy of Daily News Join the discussion?

Conservative radio host and long time Trump defender Mark Levin has broken ranks over the administration’s planned agreement with Tehran, demanding full disclosure of the deal before it is signed and warning against concessions to a regime he has long viewed as an existential threat. A Trusted Ally Turns Sceptic Levin used social media to challenge the White House’s handling of the negotiations, questioning why the memorandum of understanding had not been released publicly. His criticism struck at the heart of the administration’s approach. Briefings from unnamed officials and broad descriptions of the agreement, he argued, were no substitute for publishing the text itself. The intervention is notable because Levin has been among Trump’s most vocal defenders throughout recent conflicts in the Middle East. The Deal Driving Conservative Anxiety Reports surrounding the proposed agreement suggest Iran could receive significant economic relief in exchange for steps aimed at reducing tensions. Among the measures reportedly under discussion are the release of frozen Iranian assets, relief from some sanctions and the reopening of key shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Details remain disputed, however, with conflicting accounts emerging from Washington and Tehran. The uncertainty has only intensified scrutiny from foreign policy hawks who fear the administration may be offering too much in return for a temporary reduction in hostilities. MAGA’s Foreign Policy Divide Bursts Into View The dispute exposes a deeper ideological struggle inside Trump’s coalition. While the president has increasingly positioned himself as a dealmaker seeking to end conflicts, influential conservative voices continue to push for a far more confrontational approach toward Iran. Levin has repeatedly dismissed ceasefires and negotiated settlements, arguing that Tehran cannot be trusted and warning that any agreement allowing the regime to remain intact would be a strategic mistake. Pressure Mounts as Signature Nears The clash comes at a pivotal moment. Trump is reportedly pushing to finalise the agreement quickly, presenting it as a breakthrough capable of easing regional tensions and preventing a wider conflict. But resistance from figures like Levin raises the political stakes. If details of the agreement fail to satisfy conservative hawks, Trump could find himself battling dissent not from his opponents, but from some of the most loyal voices in his own movement.

The suspect was found hiding at a hotel in Rayong province after Chinese authorities requested his deportation. Get today's headlines by email The arrest forms part of ongoing efforts by Thailand’s Immigration Bureau to target foreign nationals involved in crime or other unlawful activities under its “Three No’s” policy. Authorities said the operation also involved visa revocation measures against foreigners found to have violated the law. According to the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Thailand, Chinese authorities requested the return of Mr Li Xin, who is the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the Public Security Bureau of Putuo District, Shanghai, on 24 February 2022. He is accused of conducting an illegal business operation. Investigators allege that since 2019, Mr Li Xin had worked with others to illegally exchange foreign currency for people within China. Authorities said the total value of transactions linked to the operation reached 30 million yuan. On 14 June 2026, the operation was carried out under the direction of senior Immigration Bureau officers, including Pol Lt Gen Phanumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, along with several deputy commissioners and senior investigative officials. Pol Col Thawatchai Narinrat, Superintendent of Investigation Division 1 of the Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division, oversaw the detention of the 35-year-old Chinese national. Authorities confirmed that his visa had been revoked after he was identified as a wanted person under the Chinese arrest warrant. Officials said Mr Li had been using a student visa while residing in Thailand. Immigration investigators later discovered that he was staying at a hotel in Phe subdistrict, Mueang Rayong district, prompting coordination with Rayong Immigration Police to locate and detain him. Thaitabloid reported that following his arrest, Mr Li was transferred to Investigation Division 3 of the Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division. He will remain in custody pending deportation proceedings and will be returned to China to face legal action related to the alleged offences. Pictures courtesy of Thaitabloid Join the discussion?

The former health secretary is expected to unveil plans to attract thousands of elite scientists, engineers and AI specialists to Britain while backing new North Sea oil and gas developments to fund lower energy bills. A Direct Challenge to Trump’s America At the centre of Streeting’s pitch is a proposal to loosen restrictions for highly skilled migrants and create a government-backed programme aimed at recruiting 20,000 leading global experts over the next three years. Streeting argues Britain has a rare opportunity to capitalise on dissatisfaction within the United States. He believes policies associated with Donald Trump’s administration have created an opening for the UK to attract top scientific and technological talent that might otherwise have headed to America. The Growth Argument Takes Centre Stage The proposed scheme would reportedly be based in Downing Street and backed by £250 million in funding. Streeting’s allies argue that world-class researchers and AI specialists would strengthen Britain’s competitiveness at a time when advanced technology is becoming a key battleground between major economies. The proposal also seeks to draw a distinction between overall migration levels and targeted recruitment of highly skilled workers, a debate that remains politically sensitive across the UK. North Sea Becomes the Next Battleground Streeting’s second major intervention focuses on the increasingly divisive issue of North Sea oil and gas production. He is expected to argue that tax revenues from controversial projects such as Jackdaw and Rosebank should be ringfenced for energy-efficiency measures, including insulation, heat pumps and electrification programmes designed to reduce household bills. Warning of a Political Backlash Streeting is framing the argument as both an economic and electoral necessity. He contends that forcing working households to shoulder the costs of the green transition risks fuelling voter anger and strengthening populist challengers. The intervention places him on a collision course with environmental campaigners, who argue that approving new fossil fuel projects would undermine Britain’s climate commitments and weaken its international credibility. Labour’s Succession Battle Accelerates The proposals land as manoeuvring intensifies around Labour’s future leadership. With figures including Andy Burnham positioning themselves for a potential contest, Streeting is seeking to define the debate early. His message is clear: growth first, talent first, and a pragmatic approach to energy. Whether Labour members agree could shape the party’s direction for years to come.

The reported moves come as Ukrainian strikes intensify across the occupied peninsula, targeting military infrastructure, logistics routes and strategic facilities with increasing frequency. Command Staff Vote With Their Feet According to the Atesh partisan and reconnaissance movement, Russian naval commanders are weighing plans to transfer the Black Sea Fleet’s remaining headquarters functions from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk on Russia’s Black Sea coast. Some officers are reportedly not waiting for official orders. Sources cited by the group claim personnel have begun relocating family members, selling property and establishing themselves in Novorossiysk as uncertainty deepens over Crimea’s security outlook. Relentless Strikes Change the Calculation The reported preparations underline how dramatically the battlefield picture has shifted since the early stages of the war. Ukrainian attacks on military targets in Crimea have become increasingly frequent and sophisticated, forcing Moscow to devote greater resources to protecting assets once considered secure. Atesh argues that maintaining key command infrastructure on the peninsula is becoming both costly and risky. The group claims morale among some senior personnel has deteriorated as concerns grow over the vulnerability of military facilities. Sevastopol No Longer Feels Safe The pressure has been reinforced by a series of recent strikes. On May 27, Ukrainian forces reportedly used Storm Shadow missiles to hit Russian military aviation infrastructure in Sevastopol. Atesh claimed the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet’s aviation branch was among the targets. Days later, drones struck the Crimean Titan plant, a major titanium dioxide producer in occupied Crimea. Operations at the facility were reportedly suspended following the attack. Crimea’s Lifelines Under Pressure Ukraine has also continued targeting transport links connecting Crimea to Russian-controlled territory. Strikes on bridges and logistics routes have added to concerns about the peninsula’s long-term military viability. If command functions are ultimately shifted to Novorossiysk, it would mark another symbolic setback for Moscow. Sevastopol has long been the historic heart of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Any retreat from the city would underscore the growing challenge of defending Crimea as Ukraine steadily raises the cost of occupation.
