What was once seen as an easy seat for the opposition Kuomintang or the KMT to defend has turned into a tight contest.

CNA's Senior Correspondent Victoria Jen explains why this election is being scrutinised and could have implications well beyond Taiwan.

Women from civil society group Indonesia Mothers’ Alliance set up a crowd-funded base offering snacks and refreshments to the crowd throughout the day.

Besides logistics support, some of the mothers also raised their concern over President Prabowo Subianto’s controversial free meals programme.

The crash killed the motorcyclist and his female pillion passenger, who were both 24. Police are searching for a man and woman who allegedly fled the scene.

The confrontation erupted after a ruling-party lawmaker criticised a controversial remark made by an opposition leader's cousin about establishing a ministry to "satisfy women".

The brawl reportedly spilled into the corridors outside the chamber, with one opposition MP suffering a bloody nose and another having his clothes torn. The incident was reportedly the second violent confrontation between government and opposition lawmakers in a month.

Kim Jong Un, who watched the demonstration with his daughter Kim Ju Ae, called for North Korea to seize "absolute superiority" in drone technology.

South Korea's spy agency has said the girl, reportedly about 13, is likely Kim's heir.

At this year’s Exercise Wallaby in Australia, drones are being used to scout enemy positions and carry out attacks, while AI is being trialled to plan safer helicopter routes. The army is also testing digital tools to improve coordination and information-sharing during operations.
