Thai - Cambodia Conflict US Again Urges Thailand to De-escalate Border Conflict with Cambodia
And far more recently, in Aberdeenshire, he conducted an open and frank conversation with the media that touched on the far more serious issues that are affecting geopolitical stability where it matters: Ukraine and Gaza. Some here must be absolutely gutted that this rather parochial, cross-border bun fight never got on his fight card. -

USA Trump Tightens Ceasefire Deadline as Putin Continues Attacks
video screenshot President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, demanding an urgent ceasefire in Ukraine. Visiting the UK, Trump expressed disappointment with Putin following Russia's latest wave of drone and missile strikes on Ukraine. The president has now shortened the ceasefire deadline from 50 days to just 10 or 12 days, threatening more severe sanctions and tariffs if Russia fails to comply. In the early hours of Monday, Poland and NATO scrambled aircraft in response to a significant Russian assault. Hundreds of drones and missiles targeted various locations in Ukraine, prompting heightened readiness among Polish and allied forces. The attack lasted for about three hours, during which most drones and missiles were intercepted or neutralised; however, several still managed to strike their targets. A drone crossing from Belarus into Lithuania highlighted growing regional tensions. Lithuanian officials confirmed the incident as part of Russia’s strategy of using Belarusian airspace for northern attacks on Ukraine. A search for the drone remains ongoing, underscoring the persistent threat faced by countries bordering the conflict. In Kyiv, a Russian drone hit a residential building, injuring at least eight people as Ukrainian forces worked to strengthen their air defences. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks and reiterated the need for sanctions and strengthened defensive measures against Russia. NATO’s response to the incursion is seen as a test of the alliance’s resolve, with drones probing into Baltic airspace. Zelenskyy emphasised the continuous efforts to enhance Ukraine's air shield, expressing the importance of international cooperation to fill funding gaps for drone production. As restoration efforts continue, particularly in restoring electricity supplies, the Ukrainian leadership remains focused on securing additional support from global partners. Russia's Defence Ministry claimed its forces downed seven Ukrainian drones, highlighting the ongoing aerial contest over Ukrainian skies. The situation remains tense as the international community watches closely, awaiting Russia's response to Trump's newly imposed deadline. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ABC News 2025-07-29 -

Trump visit Scotland
Maybe. Until some entrepreneurial Yanks decide to make them in the USA, using well paid US labor. Besides, tariffs are applied against the wholesale price, not retail. The markup is so high on meds that a 15% tariff on the landed price will probably amount to a 2% price increase at retail. -

Maxwell Makes Last-Ditch Supreme Court Appeal Over Epstein Deal
video screenshot Ghislaine Maxwell is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to honour a non-prosecution agreement linked to Jeffrey Epstein, arguing it protects her from her 2021 sex trafficking conviction. The lawyers contend that the government has a duty to honour the deal with Epstein, asserting it should extend beyond Florida, where it was originally established. Federal prosecutors maintain the agreement was solely valid in Florida and not binding in New York, where Maxwell was tried. In the appeal, Maxwell’s attorneys argue the agreement’s terms were universal and not limited geographically to Florida. They emphasise the absence of conditions regarding co-conspirators being known to the government at the time or dependent on any government attorney’s understanding. "This should be the end of the discussion," the brief insists, suggesting the terms should unequivocally ensure her immunity. Meanwhile, the Justice Department urges the Supreme Court to dismiss Maxwell’s petition. Despite Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's recent meeting with Maxwell, the prosecutors assert her inability to enforce the non-prosecution agreement since she wasn’t a signatory. However, her defence disputes this, highlighting her alleged status as Epstein’s co-conspirator as central to her prosecution. Maxwell’s attorneys stress that the U.S. government's failure to uphold its promises would undermine trust in the legal system. They argue the agreement should prevent prosecution across different jurisdictions, without exceptions. David Oscar Markus, Maxwell’s attorney, draws parallels with President Trump's reputation for valuing deals, stating, “When the United States gives its word, it must stand by it.” The case spotlights the broader implications of non-prosecution agreements and their territorial limitations within federal law. While the debate intensifies, the Supreme Court has yet to decide whether to hear her appeal, leaving the outcome in uncertainty. The legal battle continues, underscoring the complexity and high stakes involved. The implications of the Supreme Court's decision could have a significant impact on similar legal agreements nationwide. Maxwell remains hopeful that this appeal might lead to overturning her conviction, but for now, the court’s ruling is awaited with bated breath. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ABC NEWS 2025-07-29
