New York (AFP) - The New York judge presiding over Donald Trump's hush money trial fined the former president on Tuesday for defying a gag order and warned that further violations could see him thrown in jail. Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. Ahead of the high-profile trial -- the first ever of a former US president -- Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump not to publicly attack witnesses, jurors or court staff and their re...

New York (AFP) - Demonstrators at Columbia University barricaded themselves inside a campus building on Tuesday, escalating a standoff with school officials as pro-Palestinian protests upend colleges across the United States. Masked individuals smashed windows and blocked doors with metal tables in the early hours of the morning after administrators began suspending protesting students for failing to comply with an order to disperse. President Joe Biden's White House sharply criticized the seizure of the building, with a spokesman saying it was "absolutely the wrong approach" as police patroll...

Group of Seven environment and energy ministers agreed Tuesday to gradually phase out coal-fired power plants that have no carbon dioxide emission-reducing measures in place, specifying a deadline of 2035 for the first time. But the joint communique issued at the G7 environment and energy ministers meeting in Turin, Italy, also indicated the goal should be achieved "in a timeline consistent with keeping a limit of 1.5 C temperature rise (as outlined in the Paris Agreement) within reach," creating a loophole for countries reluctant to lay out a phase-out timeline, such as Japan. Resource-poor J...

China's ruling Communist Party will hold a key meeting in July to set its mid- to long-term economic policy, the country's state-run media said Tuesday, as the Asian powerhouse faces challenges, including a prolonged property sector crisis. The third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee was widely expected to be held in the fall of last year following a twice-a-decade party congress in 2022. However, it was delayed, possibly due to difficulties in coordinating policies to cope with the real estate sector problem and a personnel reshuffle. The upcoming session will "primarily study iss...

Japan likely spent some 5 trillion yen ($32 billion) on Monday in currency market intervention, data by its central bank and market sources showed Tuesday, in the clearest evidence yet of the nation's attempt to slow the yen's rapid fall. The government has not confirmed that it intervened after the yen on Monday tumbled versus the U.S. dollar beyond the 160 line, a 34-year low, and then jumped to the 154 zone in a short span of time. The suspected yen-buying, dollar-selling intervention could have been close to the 5.62 trillion yen Japan spent in its foray into the market on Oct. 21, 2022, t...

The number of vacant houses in Japan rose to a fresh record of 9 million in 2023, up 510,000 from the previous 2018 survey, with cases pushed up by the deaths of single elderly householders, government data showed Tuesday. The number as of Oct. 1 represents 13.8 percent of all houses in the country, also a record-high, and means that one in about seven homes is abandoned, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The increase in vacant homes can be attributed to cases where properties are left unattended because single elderly dwellers die or enter nursery homes, while ...
