The victory of Pol Pot’s forces saw Yath Run separated from his parents and sent to a child labor camp in Cambodia’s rural northwestern Battambang province. Decades later, Yath Run’s anger has not dissipated at the regime that separated him from his family and whose policies and purges led to the deaths of two million people in less than four years. One life in prison was not enough, he said, speaking ahead of Thursday’s final verdict by the Khmer Rouge war crimes tribunal in Phnom Penh, which upheld former head of state Kieu Samphan’s life sentence for genocide and crimes against humanity....

The Federal Reserve made history on Wednesday by approving a third straight hike of 75 basis points in an aggressive move to tackle white-collar inflation plaguing the US economy. The outsized hike, which was unfathomable by markets just months ago, takes the central bank’s key lending rate into a new target range of 3%-3.25%. This is the highest Fed Funds rate since the global financial crisis in 2008. Wednesday’s decision marks the Fed’s toughest policy move since the 1980s to fight inflation....

Under pressure from both the Finnish public, which backed the ban, and the right-wing opposition, Finland’s centre-left government said late on Friday that it would prevent Russian tourists from crossing the border in the coming days. “The ambition and purpose is to significantly reduce the number of people coming to Finland from Russia,” President Sauli Niinistö told state broadcaster Yle. Finland’s decision came as the Czech Republic, the current EU presidency, called an emergency meeting of the bloc’s crisis response mechanism....

Thursday’s decision in the appeal by Khieu Samphan, 91, the former head of state of the 1975-1979 “Democratic Kampuchea” government, marks the court’s final ruling and ends 16 years of work by the UN-backed war crimes tribunal. The rejection of the appeal that sought to acquit Khieu Samphan of the genocide of Cambodia’s Muslim Cham and Vietnamese minorities also closes the book on one of the regime’s French-educated intellectuals who had claimed he was unaware of the crimes of mass murder committed....

Posté à 19h20 Léa Carrier La Presse M. Legault est le premier nom à figurer sur la liste publiée jeudi par le ministère russe des Affaires étrangères. « En réponse aux sanctions anti-russes imposées par le régime Trudeau, […] 87 citoyens canadiens se voient refuser l’entrée en Fédération de Russie”, a indiqué le ministère.

This was only the beginning of a series of remarkable transformations. The size and behavior of the crowd did not simply reflect the pre-existing condition of the nation. Rather, through these crowds we saw a transformation in our desire to participate in events, a transformation in the relationships between those in the crowd, and transformations in their relationship to the monarch, the monarchy, and the state. A week is a long time, it seems, and not just in politics....

New Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will unveil his economic plans on Friday, with a focus on boosting growth and easing the pain of the cost-of-living crisis. The prime minister told a news conference in New York that she was willing to take “difficult decisions” to drive economic growth and did not accept the argument that “tax cuts are somehow unfair”. “What we know is that people on higher incomes generally pay more tax, so when you cut taxes there is often a disproportionate benefit because those people pay more tax to begin with,” he told Sky News....

And recently, on October 9, astronomers observed an extremely colossal explosion. NASA’s Swift Observatory, which is specially designed to detect the most powerful explosions known in the universe today – called gamma-ray bursts – spotted one extremely powerful such burst. Something extremely powerful must be producing these jets of energy that travel through space, and scientists say they are caused by the collapse and explosion of massive stars, events called supernovae....

But the elderly, the immunocompromised, people with certain disabilities or underlying health conditions are still at higher risk for serious illness and may need to take more precautions. Biden’s statements have already taken some political blow. It comes just two weeks after his administration launched a campaign urging Americans to get booster shots and renewed efforts to get Congress to spend another $22.4 billion on Covid mitigation efforts. But Republican leaders told CNN they would be less willing to provide funds for a pandemic that is now “over....

Emanuele Perrone | News Getty Images | Getty Images Italy’s voters head to the polls on Sunday in a snap general election that is likely to see a government led by a far-right party in power, marking a huge political shift for a country already facing ongoing economic and political instability. Polls before September 9 (when a blackout period began) showed a right-wing coalition easily winning a majority of seats in the reduced lower and upper houses of parliament....

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson explained what kind of commitment they want from the next James Bond. “We don’t just cast someone for one movie,” Broccoli said. “We offer someone, hopefully for a decade, at least. It’s a big decision we have to make, and we’re not close to making that decision.” That’s right – the new 007 has not been cast....

Oleksiy Biloshytskyi | Oleksiy Biloshytskyi via Reuters Ukrainian forces are to mine the area in and around Lyman, a logistics hub for Russian occupation forces that was recaptured by Ukrainian troops over the weekend. “The city itself has been cleared [Russian] invaders. Of course, some of them are still running around somewhere, and are now being actively hunted. But stabilization measures continue there.
