Despite an arbitral rule,
01:56.8
the Philippine Immigration Bureau calls for an urgent interagency action on the alleged influx of Chinese students in the country.
02:10.9
BI Commissioner Norman Tansinko has asked the Commission on Higher Education,
02:16.1
which leads the Interagency Committee on Foreign Students,
02:19.9
to hold a high-level meeting and clarify the role of each agency in giving permits to foreigners.
02:25.6
The request stands.
02:26.8
It stems from concerns on the rising number of Chinese students in Cagayan Province.
02:31.5
Based on the BI's record,
02:33.4
a total of 1,516 Chinese nationals have been granted student visas in Cagayan.
02:44.0
But as of April, only 485 are currently enrolled.
02:47.9
Other members of the Interagency Committee include the National Bureau of Investigation and the Foreign Affairs Department.
02:54.3
The DFA is already seeking strict measures to ensure that Chinese students are not included in the international exchange.
02:56.6
A former chief of the Philippine National Police insists no human rights violations were committed under the Duterte administration's drug war.
03:15.3
Former PNP chief Oscar Albayalde also says then-President Rodrigo Duterte made an unlawful order in his deadly anti-illegal drug campaign.
03:27.4
We have just implemented the so-called op-land double barrel fence.
03:33.3
It is not area for attack.
03:35.2
Whenever there's an attack,
03:44.4
the soprano will intensify operations against illegal drugs.
03:50.2
How can it be excavated?
03:51.8
Because it's above, you know,
03:53.8
when it is operated,
03:56.0
it is also founded,
03:56.5
you have to Canada,
03:56.6
when it is built,
03:56.6
We are bounded by the law of this nation.
04:04.2
Albayalde now hopes President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will maintain the country's disengagement from the International Criminal Court.
04:13.0
We have a perfectly functioning justice system dito sa ating bansa.
04:18.9
Parang ang lalabas po yan, parang baka pagtawanan pa tayo ng ibang mga bansa dyan na parang hindi natin kaya yung sarili nating gobyerno, yung ating bansa.

04:43.6
The ICC is investigating the threat of a bloody drug war.
04:48.3
Aside from Duterte, the probe may involve former PNP chiefs including Albayalde and Sen. Ronald de la Rosa.
04:58.3
Not much is expected from the Philippine government's new Human Rights Committee.
05:03.3
Critics and activists cast their doubt after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the creation of a special committee on human rights coordination aimed at protecting the lives of Filipinos.
05:14.1
Rights group Karapatan says,
05:16.7
The body may become a...
05:18.3
...mere embellishment contrary to its purpose.
05:21.9
Human Rights Watch also fears the committee will serve as a propaganda arm defending government against allegations of rights abuses.
05:30.0
For progressive group Kabayan, rather than creating a rights council, the Marcos administration should instead address red-tagging, terrorist labeling, and targeting of civilians.
05:40.7
The Human Rights Watch in its 2024 World Report noted,
05:45.3
The human rights situation in the Philippines remains...
05:48.3
...a liar amid extrajudicial killings and attacks against political activists and journalists.
06:01.0
News overseas, the U.S. defending its decision to pause a shipment of bombs to Israel.
06:07.1
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says,
06:10.3
The move was made to avoid civilian deaths in Israel's looming invasion of Rafah.
06:16.4
The pause in military aid does not...
06:18.3
...mean the U.S. intends to abandon Israel.
06:22.9
Well, first, because there's a million people there in very close quarters who've been pushed there because of the military operations in other parts of Gaza,
06:31.0
you would have really significant civilian casualties.
06:35.1
And while Israel would also be able to kill some Hamas folks, many Hamas folks would melt away because they're terrorists.
06:42.5
They're not really organized fighters in the way that we think about a typical military.
06:46.3
In that context, he doesn't want to see...
06:48.0
He doesn't want to see American weapons used in that kind of operation.
06:51.2
That's not to say that he is going to abandon Israel or cut them off from weapons.
06:55.0
He was focused on a particular operation that he doesn't believe will succeed in defeating Hamas and that will cause grievous harm.
07:04.0
The U.S. and other international bodies have cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against a full-scale incursion of the southern Gaza city.
07:14.0
Rafah is a refuge to more than a million civilians.
07:17.1
Displaced by the...
07:18.7
But Israel firmly believes it is the last stronghold of Hamas.
07:26.3
Unlike the U.S., the U.K. is not keen on suspending arms sales to Israel.
07:31.9
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says only Hamas will benefit from such a move.
07:37.8
He also asserts the U.K. government could not support Israel's attack on Rafah unless they have a plan to protect civilians.
07:45.9
London is facing domestic pressure.
07:48.7
Since an Israeli attack on the World Central Kitchen Convoy killed three British nationals last month in Gaza,
07:55.4
the government officials have repeatedly emphasized U.K. defense exports to Israel were very small.
08:03.1
It would have been a very unwise move.
08:05.5
So, you know, as we stand here today, I think there is a better answer, which is, you know, Hamas must take the hostage deal.
08:11.5
You get the pause in the fighting.
08:13.2
You build a ceasefire out of that.
08:14.9
But I think, actually, just to simply announce today,
08:18.2
we're going to change our whole approach to arms exports rather than go through our careful process.
08:22.6
It would strengthen Hamas.
08:24.1
It would make a hostage deal less likely.
08:26.1
I don't think it would be the right approach.
08:31.4
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposes a surprise new defense minister.
08:36.4
Putin has nominated civilian Andrei Belousov,
08:39.1
a former deputy prime minister who specializes in economics for the job.
08:45.2
A Kremlin spokesman says the change makes sense.
08:48.2
Russia is approaching a similar situation to the 1980s
08:51.7
when the military and law enforcement authorities accounted for 7.4% of state spending.
08:59.5
Sergei Shogu also has been defense minister since 2012,
09:03.9
will become a secretary in Russia's powerful Security Council.

The latest installment in the Planet of the Apes

franchise and the comedy thriller

Our resident movie critic,

18:51.1
I see strange things.
18:54.2
You will see a lot of strange things

19:00.3

to War for the Planet of the Apes.
19:05.3
All the simians can now talk,
19:07.1
but most humans can't.
19:10.2
Many years after Caesar's death,
19:12.4
our new hero emerges.
19:16.8
that raises pet eagles.
19:18.4
He must find the courage
19:19.7
to fight Kevin Durant's
19:25.9
At its heart is the question,
19:27.8
can apes and humans coexist?
19:29.8
Central to that thesis
19:30.8
is Freya Allen's Nova,
19:32.8
a young woman who helps Noah

19:48.8
from actor Andy Serkis
19:50.3
who played the original Caesar
19:51.8
from the trilogy reboot.
19:53.4
He's the OG of the Apes.

20:46.1
Well, it's an incredible cast.
20:47.6
I mean, it's Chris Pine

Jennifer Jason Lee
