      ‘No babies, no Japan’: PM Kishida’s aide says country ‘will disappear’ if people don’t have more children

      Japan PM Fumio Kishida’s advisor recently said in a statement that the country will cease to exist if it can’t slow a fall in its birth rate that threatens to wreck the social safety net and economy. Masako Mori, an upper house lawmaker and former minister who advises Kishida on the birth rate problem and LGBTQ issues, said in an interview in Tokyo that, “If we go on like this, the country will disappear.” She added, “It’s the people who have to live through the process of disappearance who will face enormous harm. It’s a terrible disease that will afflict those children,” reported Bloomberg. Japan had earlier announced on 28 February that the number of babies born in the country last…

      ‘If you come here illegally…’: UK PM Rishi Sunak warns illegal immigrants

      UK’s first Indian-origin Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warned illegal immigrants entering Britain that every illegal immigrant crossing the UK border will be deported and will not be able to stay in the country. Sunak was speaking to reporters in the UK as the country faces a steady flow of migrants from Europe. Sunak was quoted as saying by Fox News, “Make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.” The Sunak-led Conservative government is expected to push legislation cracking down on illegal immigration with a special emphasis on illegal immigrants arriving in boats across the English channel. The new legislation, if passed, would prevent migrants from claiming asylum in the first place. The…

      Christchurch shooting inquest delayed after bereaved families raise concerns evidence could be missed

      An inquest hearing into the deaths of 51 Muslims in a white supremacist terror attack on two Christchurch mosques has been postponed, after bereaved families and survivors raised “reasonable concerns” that vital evidence could be missed if it went ahead as scheduled, the coroner heading the inquiry says. The inquiry will address questions not covered by previous investigations into the 15 March 2019 terrorist attack, in which an Australian gunman opened fire on worshipers during Friday prayers while livestreaming the massacre on Facebook. Six weeks of public hearings were scheduled to take place in May and June, in which lawyers for the victims’ families and survivors were due to question witnesses, including police and ambulance officers. The emergency response in the…

      UK government to introduce legislation to deport Channel migrants

      The UK government said it is set to introduce legislation to ban the settlement of anyone who arrives in small boats across the English Channel on Monday. The UK government said a bill – expected to be announced Tuesday – will bar asylum claims by anyone who reaches Britain without prior authorisation, and will compel the government to detain and deport them “to their home country or a safe third country.” Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the law would stop the “immoral” business of smuggling gangs who send desperate people on hazardous journeys across one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Sunak has made stopping the boats one of his “five pledges” to voters, alongside halving inflation, kickstarting economic growth, slashing the…

      Iran’s Khamenei calls girls’ poisoning ‘unforgivable’ after public anger

      Iran’s supreme leader said on Monday that the poisoning schoolgirls is an “unforgivable” crime that should be punished by death if deliberate, state TV reported, amid public anger over a wave of suspected attacks in schools. Over 1,000 girls have fallen ill after being poisoned since November, according to state media and officials, with some politicians blaming religious groups opposed to girls’ education. The poisonings have come at a critical time for Iran’s clerical rulers after months of protests since the death of a young woman held by police for flouting hijab rules. “Authorities should seriously pursue the issue of students’ poisoning,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying by state TV. “If it is proven deliberate, those perpetrators of…

      World Bank halts future Tunisia engagement after president’s anti-migrant remarks

      The World Bank is pausing talks over its future engagement with Tunisia following anti-immigrant comments made by the country’s president, Kais Saied, according to an internal message to staff seen by AFP. In the message, the bank’s outgoing President David Malpass said Saied‘s tirade had triggered “racially motivated harassment and even violence,” and that the institution had postponed a planned meeting with Tunisia until further notice. “Given the situation, management has decided to pause the Country Partnership Framework and withdraw it from Board review,” said Malpass in the note to staff. AFP understands that ongoing projects will continue and funded projects remain financed. Hundreds of migrants have flown home from Tunisia, fearful of a wave of violence since the president’s remarks. Last month,…
