The Swedish government is concerned about national security following several incidents involving the burning of the Quran that have provoked demonstrations and outrage from Muslim-majority countries. The spate of Quran-burning incidents followed an act of desecration by far-right activist Rasmus Paludan on Jan. 21, 2023, in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm. On Aug. 25, Denmark's government said it would "criminalize" desecration of religious objects and moved a bill banning the burning of scriptures .

President Yoon Suk Yeol's Liberation Day speech on Aug. 15 set himself apart from his predecessors. He did not mention Japan's brutal 35-year colonial rule, from which the nation was freed on the day 78 years ago. Instead, Yoon bore hatred toward his perceived enemies at home, calling them 'anti-state forces.''The forces of communist totalitarianism have always disguised themselves as democracy activists, human rights advocates or progressive activists while engaging in despicable and unethical tactics and false propaganda,' Yoon said.

NEW YORK, NY--A pair of new studies led by researchers at Columbia University explains why babies get so many common respiratory infections and identifies a specialized cluster of immune cells found only in babies that help them better cope with new pathogens. "We know little about how the immune system develops throughout life, and most of what we know about immune system development in children comes from animal studies," says Donna Farber, PhD, an expert in immune system development at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons who led the research.

MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s next move, after admitting that 'certain elements' in government had committed abuses during the war against illegal drugs, should be to prosecute those behind the violations, global watchdog Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Friday. HRW deputy Asia director Phil Robertson said in a statement that since Marcos has already acknowledged human rights abuses occurring during the drug war, the next step is to file criminal cases and prosecute erring police officers.
