And I didn’t have to smuggle it out in a biscuit tin. Yet in spite of its size and cutting-edge architecture, it blended well with the surrounding city and imparted a sense of being organic. It was in the panel discussion on Asia’s young people, where I was invited to take part, that I gleaned what might have prompted my sense of discomfort watching the K-pop dance fest in Glorietta a few weeks back. Then, at dinner on the final night, the event’s lead curator came over to our table and let it drop that they would always be grateful to the Philippines and Turkey (Bejan was at the table as well) for coming to South Korea’s aid during the Korean war. Alvin Pang from Singapore and Bejan Matur, a Kurdish writer from Turkey, recited their verses and were accorded the same attentive hush and appreciative applause as their Korean counterparts. The rest of the complex, a vast maze of exhibition halls, gallery spaces, theaters, libraries, lounges, and playgrounds surrounded by gardens with striking sculptural installations, was built from scratch. Now serving as the ACC Culture Exchange, it is in the process of being fully restored. It started at a low white building that once served as the Provincial Hall of South Jeolla province, and was the site of the final stand of the protesters. Its center of gravity is a sprawling cultural complex opened in 2015, the Asia Culture Center (ACC), built around the site of the May 1980 protests against martial law (which began on May 18, hence popular reference to it as 5.18), in which hundreds of protesters were gunned down by the military. Korea, it seemed, was drawing a large share of the “revenge travel” traffic, and K-pop, again, was undoubtedly a factor. Every now and then, on some cue indecipherable to my untrained ear and eye, the milling would cease and a dozen or so teens would gather at the center, dancing to the beat in perfect sync. The hall was packed with applicants clutching their passports and sheafs of documents.

Authorities said more than 400 people were on and around the colonial-era suspension bridge at the time of the collapse.

The 230-metre bridge was built during British rule in the 19th century. "The death toll in the bridge collapse incident has gone up to 132. The bridge had drawn many sightseers celebrating the Diwali, or festival of lights, and Chhath Puja holidays.

Death toll in bridge collapse rises to 134 as officials fear the number could grow amid ongoing search for the missing.

On October 1, police in Indonesia used tear gas at a stadium during a football match, causing a stampede that killed 133 people as spectators tried to flee. It was reopened to the public only last week after renovation. The death toll rose to 134 on Monday, and officials fear the number could grow as authorities opened a criminal case into one of the deadliest accidents in the country in the past 10 years.

More than 9.5 million tonnes of corn, wheat, sunflower products, barley, rapeseed and soy have been exported from the Black Sea since July. Not much really,” said one Singapore-based grains trader who supplies wheat to buyers in Asia and the Middle East. “We have to see how the situation unfolds. No ships moved through the established maritime humanitarian corridor on Sunday. “We are not sure if Russia will continue to export wheat or it will be safe for vessels carrying Russian wheat to ship from the Black Sea even as Ukrainian exports remain blocked,” said a second Singapore-based trader at an international company. Hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat booked for delivery to Africa and the Middle East are at risk following Russia’s withdrawal, while Ukrainian corn exports to Europe will take a hit, two Singapore-based traders said.

A series of missile strikes hit major Ukrainian cities on Monday morning, with the capital Kyiv and cities to the northeast and south being targeted.

"The Russian attack was repulsed," he said. In recent weeks, however, intense fighting has centered around Avdiivka and the strategically-important town of Bakhmut.

He also alluded to the fact that Russian soldiers had been taken prisoner and could be used in future prisoner exchanges. Ukraine has not said whether it was responsible for the attack. This inspection plan has been accepted by the delegation of Ukraine. Bakhmut and Avdiivka have seen intense fighting in recent weeks.

The combination of the location of WPC22-18 at a major structural intersection, the presence of multiple zones of multi-stage high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn sulfides that thin progressively through the surrounding holes, and the late pyrite stage strongly suggest that WPC22-18 cut a "feeder" chimney through which mineralizing fluids rose before traveling laterally through WPC22-20, etc., to create the emerging elongate sulfide manto.

KYIV — Ships brought grain from Ukrainian ports on Monday, suggesting Moscow had stopped short of reimposing a blockade that might have caused world hunger, ...

“Our effort to deliver this wheat to countries facing the threat of starvation is evident. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow was “blackmailing the world with hunger.” Russia denies that is its aim. For three months, the UN-backed deal has guaranteed Ukrainian exports can reach markets, lifting a Russian de facto blockade on Ukraine. Moscow said the blasts were caused by a wave of sea and air drones. “Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia fights civilians,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said. He did not specify why shipments would now be unsafe and declined to say under what conditions Moscow might rejoin the arrangement. Ukraine and Russia are both among the world’s largest exporters of food. Still, the resumption of food exports from Ukrainian ports suggested that at least one dire scenario had been averted for now. Ukraine’s military said it had shot down 44 of 50 Russian missiles. But shipments could be interrupted again, not least if insurers stop underwriting them. Ukrainian officials said energy infrastructure was hit including at hydroelectric dams, knocking out power, heat, and water supplies. International officials had feared that Moscow would reimpose a blockade on Ukrainian grain after Russia announced on Saturday that it was suspending its role in the UN-backed program that escorts cargo ships through the Black Sea.

Russia's decision to pull out of an agreement that guaranteed safe passage for ships carrying vital grain exports from Ukraine has sparked "grave concerns" ...

Russia had long threatened to pull out of the agreement, after complaining previously that the deal had not produced the promised benefits for Russian exports of grain and fertilizer. On Saturday, Russia’s defense ministry said that Russia was ditching the deal because of drone attacks on the Crimean city of Sevastopol. Moscow blamed Ukraine for the attacks, but also accused the United Kingdom of helping Kyiv to plan them. The current crisis of affordability will turn into a crisis of availability.” The Food and Agriculture Organization, an UN body, said that as many as 47 million people could be pushed into “acute food insecurity” because of the war. Russia said its air defense systems “repelled drone attacks” on the city on Saturday. In normal times, Ukraine would export around three-quarters of the grain it produces. It added there were 21 vessels in or near the Ukrainian ports with a capacity of over 700,000 metric tons that were impacted by the announcement. It put in place a procedure that guaranteed the safety of ships carrying Ukrainian grain, fertilizer and other food stuff through a humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea. “One third of the world’s wheat is produced by Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine plays a key role in the global food market. Asked if it was possible to maintain grain shipments without Russia’s participation, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists Monday that without Russia guaranteeing navigation safety, “such a deal is hardly feasible.”
