From high office to high security prison for ex-Pakistani PM Imran Khan after court sentencing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:21:13 GMT

ATTOCK, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan awoke Sunday as an inmate in a high-security prison after a court handed him a three-year jail sentence for corruption, a development that could end his future in politics. The court ruled Saturday that national cricketing hero Khan, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in April 2022 but remains the country’s leading opposition figure, had concealed assets after selling state gifts.The prison sentence could bar him from politics under a law that prohibits people with a criminal conviction from holding or running for public office. He could also lose the chairmanship of the party he founded, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or PTI.Critics say efforts to put Khan behind bars are politically motivated and have intensified ahead of elections due to be held later this year.They argue that Khan’s popularity and a large support base, combined with his ability to mobilize massive crowds, pose a threat to the ruling coalition and...

TOKYO (AP) — A meandering storm was headed again toward southwestern Japan on Sunday, prompting fresh warnings about dangerously heavy rainfall after the same area was hit several days ago.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra attended a birthday party for outgoing Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh, according to video posted online Sunday, a day after Thaksin said he would delay plans to return to Thailand following years of self-imposed exile.Thaksin’s appearance in Cambodia came at a politically sensitive time in neighboring Thailand, as Pheu Thai, the latest in a string of parties affiliated with Thaksin, is seeking to win enough support in Parliament for one of its members to become the next prime minister almost three months after a general election in May.Thaksin said on Saturday on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that he would delay a planned return to Thailand next Thursday for “no longer than two weeks,” citing a doctor’s appointment.His daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who campaigned for prime minister with Pheu Thai in the latest election, had said nearly two weeks ago her father would return to T...

Australia and England were shaky early at Women’s World Cup, need balanced play in knockout round

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:21:13 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — The verdict is still out on the legitimacy of both Australia and England at the Women’s World Cup, where each team has a chance Monday to move into the quarterfinals and make a claim as true tournament contenders. England swept through three games of Group D play and allowed just one goal, which came in an emphatic 6-1 victory over China. But the European Champions were a bit flat in earlier 1-0 wins against Haiti and Denmark.Either way, England joined Japan and Sweden as the only three teams to go a perfect 3-0 in group play. Next up for the Lionesses is a knockout game against Nigeria, which used a 3-2 upset over Australia to move into the round of 16. Nigeria has qualified for the World Cup in all nine of its editions but has reached the quarterfinals only once, in 1999. Nigeria is the only African team to ever advance to the quarterfinals, and will try to do it again against England. “They are the European champions and we just have to try our ...

El oso más pequeño del mundo finalmente se vuelve famoso. ¿Pero es eso algo bueno?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:21:13 GMT

(CNN) — El oso más pequeño del mundo finalmente está teniendo su momento bajo el sol, gracias a un video viral que desató una teoría de conspiración en las redes sociales chinas.El interés público en los osos malayos, uno de los animales más intrigantes y en peligro de extinción de Asia, se disparó después de que apareciera un video que mostraba a una osa llamada Angela en su recinto en el zoológico de Hangzhou, en el este de China, de pie sobre una roca y agitando su pata.El video provocó un debate mundial sobre la apariencia asombrosamente humana del oso, tanto que comenzaron a surgir teorías de conspiración de que Angela era realmente una humana vestida con un disfraz de oso.Desde entonces, los expertos han desacreditado esas teorías, atribuyendo los malentendidos en parte a la relativa oscuridad del oso malayo, cuyo número en la naturaleza se cree que se redujo a entre 1.000 y 2.500, según grupos conservacionistas.Varios conservacionistas de la vida silvestre le dijeron a ...

Único en el mundo: el escuadrón policial que enfrenta el crimen montado en búfalos

ISLA DE MARAJÓ, Brasil – En el mundo, la policía montada suele patrullar a caballo y en algunos países de Medio Oriente, como Omán y Egipto, también lo hace en camello. Lo que poco se sabe es que en Brasil, en plena Amazonía, existe la única fuerza policial del planeta que se desplaza sobre búfalos.Se trata del Octavo Batallón de la Policía Militarizada de Marajó, una isla bañada por las aguas del Océano Atlántico y la desembocadura del último caudal del Amazonas, localizada en el estado de Pará, en el norte del país.Con más de 430,000 búfalos, esta isla de 15,000 millas cuadradas alberga, ella sola, poco más de la tercera parte de todos los ejemplares del país.Según algunos textos y la historia oral, los búfalos entraron dos siglos atrás en la isla con un hacendado que los trajo de Italia, pero la narración más popularizada dice que llegaron solos y nadando, luego de que el barco en el que eran transportados de India a la Guyana Francesa se estrellara contra una roca. ...
