Report Repeat Harasser in Udon Thani Blames Alcohol for Actions
Picture via Facebook/เจ๊ม้อย v+ An elderly Thai man apologised for his disgraceful conduct after proposing to grope a cosmetics store employee in Udon Thani. Security footage captured the unsettling incident where the 72-year-old entered the Kut Chap sub-district shop barefooted and made his inappropriate request. Approaching the cashier, he brazenly asked, “Can I touch your breasts? It will give me energy.” Ignoring her refusal, he attempted to reach out, forcing the woman to defend herself with a feather duster. Despite being chased away, the man persisted, moving behind the counter and pushing the victim to call for backup. He reluctantly retreated only after a colleague threatened police intervention. Before leaving, he taunted them, claiming authorities rarely answered emergency calls. Channel 3 confronted the man, who blamed intoxication for his actions and issued a public apology. However, locals revealed this isn’t his first offence, noting previous incidents of harassment involving food vendors and others, reported The Thaiger. Community members described him as a pleasant individual when sober but a troublesome menace under the influence of alcohol. They urged that government agencies intervene with a mental health evaluation and preventive measures to curb his lewd behaviour. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-08-14 -

West Bank Israeli settlers attack Palestinian villagers, three dead
Palestinians report one death after settler attack near Nablus The Health Ministry in Ramallah stated that the 35-year-old man was severely injured by gunfire from Israeli settlers near the village of Duma, not far from Nablus, and later died from his injuries. Since October 7, 2023, 967 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank in Israeli military operations, armed confrontations and attacks, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. At the same time, radical Israeli settlers have expanded their attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. They repeatedly advance into Palestinian villages with firearms, baseball bats and stones, set houses and cars on fire, and ignite fields and olive groves.

Here we go
187 murders in DC last year. Adjusted for population the rate in the UK would be 7. Lies, damned lies and statistics. Lowest rate in 30 years = utterly appalling and unacceptable -

Fire Europe Ablaze: Deadly Fires Rage as Temperatures Soar
File photo Europe is in flames as scorching temperatures above 37 degrees Celsius ignite wildfires across the continent. France, Spain, Portugal, and more are battling relentless blazes, marking a devastating wildfire season. Nearly 2.4 million acres have already burnt, twice the usual amount, according to the European Forest Fire Information System. In Spain, heroic efforts by nearly 1,000 firefighters are underway to control infernos forcing thousands to evacuate. A massive fire in Tres Cantos, near Madrid, tragically claimed one life and ravaged 2,500 acres. Meanwhile, in southern Spain’s Tarifa, tourists and locals evacuated as flames loomed over the beaches. Temperatures here are expected to exceed 43 degrees Celsius, with extreme fire danger warnings issued. Portugal is also grappling with monumental fires, especially near Trancoso, where a blaze has scorched over 7,500 acres. An army of 1,200 firefighters and 400 vehicles has been deployed to tackle the massive flames. In Vila Real, blazes have raged for 10 days, causing despair and destruction. Sweltering heat is forecast to persist, exacerbating the fire risk, reported CNN. Across southern Europe, the situation is dire. In Italy, wildfires closed trails near Mount Vesuvius, while red heat alerts loom over several cities. France faces its largest wildfire since 1949 in Aude, now mostly contained but still a looming threat amid the prolonged heatwave. Albania and Montenegro are fighting numerous fires, threatening tourist hotspots like the Blue Eye spring. Scientists point to Europe’s rapid warming and severe droughts as key drivers behind these catastrophic fires. As the climate crisis intensifies, the frequency and severity of wildfires are expected to rise, painting a worrying picture for the continent’s future.

USA Trump's History Rewrite: Smithsonian Faces White House Review
video screenshot The White House has announced plans to undertake an extensive review of the Smithsonian Institution's exhibitions, materials, and operations. This is reportedly to align with US President Donald Trump's perspective on American history, in preparation for the nation’s 250th anniversary next year. A White House representative confirmed this to ABC News. In a letter directed at Lonnie Bunch, the Smithsonian Institution's secretary, the White House stressed the need for museums to project "the unity, progress, and enduring values" of America. The move follows a March executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," aiming to remove divisive narratives and celebrate American exceptionalism. The review is set to scrutinise public-facing content, like exhibition texts, websites, and social media. The goal is to ensure these materials align with American ideals better. It will also cover curatorial processes and current and future exhibitions, focusing on developing consistent guidelines that align with the Smithsonian’s mission. Initially, eight museums will be under scrutiny: the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. In response, the Smithsonian Institution asserted its dedication to scholarly excellence, rigorous research, and accurate historical presentation. They're committed to continuing constructive collaboration with the White House, Congress, and the Board of Regents. At present, the review aims to reshape how American history is portrayed across the Smithsonian museums. As the developments unfold, the institutions will carefully consider how to balance narrative corrections with educational integrity. The looming question is how these historic repositories will integrate the President’s vision while maintaining their commitment to factual storytelling. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ABC News 2025-08-14
