Hanoi, May 5, 2023 : Vietnam's communist government has demanded Australia cease issuing commemorative coins that it says show the flag of the toppled US-backed South Vietnam, a claim Canberra denied on Friday. In April, the Royal Australian Mint issued 85,000 sets of gold and silver $2 coins to mark the 50th anniversary of Australian troops withdrawing from southern Vietnam. South Vietnam's yellow and red flag is banned by the Vietnamese government. "We regret and strongly protest the Royal Australian Mint and Australia Post for issuing items with the image of the yellow flag -- the flag of a regime that no longer exists," Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs deputy spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang said in a statement on the government's official Facebook page on Thursday.

For the first time, researchers have estimated the Spotted Owl population across the entire Sierra Nevada ecosystem. The analysis, which was led by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics, suggests that there are 2,218 to 2,328 adult owls on federally managed lands. This research is published in the journal Ecological Indicators . The Sierra Nevada is the home of the California Spotted Owl, one of three subspecies of Spotted Owl, and the only one that does not yet have federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.

The Dutch government is expected to finally publish long-awaited rules covering extended export restrictions on technology to China next week, with ASML as a maker of advanced chipmaking gear likely to be one of those affected. The Netherlands formally joined US efforts aimed at curbing Chinese access to advanced technology and the tools to develop and manufacture cutting-edge semiconductors earlier this year following months of pressure from Washington . But the government did not immediately specify what restrictions it was planning to put in place, and it now appears that these may be revealed as soon as June 30, according to Bloomberg.
