The killing of couple Benito and Wilma Tiamzon has been considered a violation of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and should be investigated independently, a human rights group and the couple's counsel said on Friday. The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has confirmed on Thursday that the Tiamzon couple, the organization's highest-ranking leaders, had been captured, tortured and killed in August 2022. The CPP belied a report by the military last year, which stated that the couple died in a boat explosion while engaging in an armed encounter with soldiers at sea in Catbalogan, Samar.

The announcement that Indonesia will lift its live cattle export suspension with immediate effect is welcomed. With Malaysia recently making the same announcement, this means our critical live cattle industry can return to normal export routes as quickly as possible. This has been an intense period and the disruption to our industry has been acknowledged. I'd specifically like to thank the NT Cattlemen's Association and NT Live Exporters for their considered advocacy and patience through this time.
