India’s Modi caught between much-needed Russian oil and US trade threats

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is caught in an energy policy bind with no easy exit. Cutting Russian oil imports to avoid potential new US tariffs could increase fuel prices ahead of key regional elections, or stress government finances. Maintaining such purchases could cripple Indian exports to its largest market. India, the world’s third-largest oil importer and among the biggest buyers of Russian crude, reacted unusually strongly on Thursday to a US congressional bill that would allow...

A Polish priest’s perilous mission to save a doomed Chinese dynasty with Catholic links

I spent a week in Warsaw and ate more pierogi than I could shake a stick at. These beloved traditional Polish dumplings come filled with potatoes, cheese, meat, mushrooms and even fruit. Boiled or fried, they may look familiar to anyone acquainted with jiaozi, the Chinese dumpling, although their flavours are distinctly Polish. This is not to suggest that dumplings travelled directly from China to Poland. One theory posits that dumpling-like foods – from Nepalese momo and Central Asian and...

South Korea wants free ‘AI for All’. Is society ready for it?

A former engineer at his company, who also worked at its rival OpenAI, told reporters after quitting earlier this month that he was “genuinely frightened” unchecked AI development might mean “we could all die in the immediate future”. Even Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known...

Barbers: Senate has final say on VP Sara conviction threshold

MANILA, Philippines — The Senate impeachment court itself must resolve the disputed number of votes needed to convict Vice President Sara Z. Duterte because the Constitution gives the Senate the sole power to try and decide impeachment cases, House impeachment team adviser and spokesperson Ace Barbers said Friday. Barbers said the competing interpretations presented by

Barbers, Abante: Lower conviction threshold can’t be ‘weaponized’

MANILA, Philippines — House impeachment team adviser and spokesperson Ace Barbers and Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante Jr. on Friday rejected a warning from Vice President Sara Duterte’s camp that lowering the conviction threshold in her impeachment trial could allow the government to target senator-judges and influence the outcome. Duterte spokesperson Salvador Paolo Panelo Jr. had

How much sex should a couple have? Focus on quality over quantity, experts say

Recently, an acquaintance told me about her brother’s marriage break-up. “They had sex once in eight years,” she said – as if that were the sole reason. It would not have been: the couple’s collapsing relationship was the reason. The absence of sex – except for that single occasion in eight years – was a symptom that likely made it worse. It raises the question, though: is there a sweet spot for sex in a relationship? How many times a week or a month should we be “doing it” to keep a...

MANILA, Philippines — Filing criminal cases against some senators during Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment proceedings may be just a case of “wrong timing, ” not manipulation to gather the votes needed to convict her, says former Rep. Robert Ace Barbers on Friday. In an online news conference, Barbers made the distinction when asked whether
