USA Maxwell Clears Trump: DOJ Considers Releasing Interview
Obviously not, they wanted to make the embarassing legal case go away as soon as possible, because their lawyers advised them that since Prince Andrew did not have evidence that he could not have had sex with Giuffre, the way Dershowitz had, there was a real likelihood he could lose the case even if he never slept with Giuffre, simply because he didn't have the evidence that he didn't sleep with her. Faced with an embarassment of that magnitude they rather paid the millions to Giuffre, who promptly bought a nice villa in Austalia with the cash. -

Accident British Expat Loses Both Legs in Bangkok Hit-and-Run Tragedy
Only some insurance don't cover motorcycle accident, from my experience, it's mostly the cheap ones that doesn't. All my insurance I have had from different companies, covered motorcycle accidents, both as driver or passenger. Some insurance will cover only riding as a passenger. I feel sorry for him, and I hope he recovers. At least, he survived a really bad accident with a lorry that could have easily cost his life, as it already happens to many others in Thailand. -

Myanmar's figurehead president dies after long illness
Myanmar's figurehead president who came to power after a 2021 coup, Myint Swe, has died, the South East Asian nation's military leaders said. He was 74. Before his death, Myint Swe had been on medical leave for over a year due to declining health. Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing has been performing Myint Swe's largely ceremonial duties since July 2024. The country's junta named Myint Swe acting president after it overthrew the civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. He died in a hospital in the capital Nay Pyi Taw at 08:28 local time (02:58 GMT) Thursday due to "neurodegenerative diseases and related neurological disorders", the junta said. A state funeral has been scheduled for Myint Swe, it said. As acting president, he endorsed multiple extensions to the country's state of emergency. On Wednesday, the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper published a junta statement announcing that Myint Swe was in a "critical condition", after he "experienced weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, and a decline in cognitive function" in July. In early 2023 Myint Swe "began experiencing sluggishness in movement and the ability to consume food and nutrients", the statement said. It added that he received treatment in Singapore in April 2024 and went on medical leave in July 2024. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the 2021 coup, with a civil war persisting between junta forces and ethnic armed groups. Min Aung Hlaing announced in March that the country would hold a national election in December 2025 or January 2026 - the first vote since the junta seized power in the coup. But critics say the election is a sham designed to maintain the junta's power through proxy political parties. Last week, Myanmar's junta ended the state of emergency and transferred power to an interim government to pave the way for the election. But Min Aung Hlaing, who remains the acting president and military chief, retains de facto control over the country's leadership. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-08-07
