A suspect previously imprisoned for 17 years for a series of audacious robberies across the United Kingdom, including ATM explosions and the theft of R$ 2.5 million in tractors, is highlighted. The article also mentions various other incidents and scientific missions, but the main focus is on the suspect's criminal history.

Young People and their News habits

New research by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, presented by BBC Academy Fusion, examines how young people in the UK, US, and Brazil consume news. The study highlights the fragmented engagement with news among under-30s, the rise of visual networks like Instagram and TikTok, news avoidance, and the influence of social media personalities. The panel, chaired by Nic Newman, includes experts from BBC News, Craft, Vice News, The News Movement, and The Sun, discussing the implications for mainstream media and strategies to attract younger audiences.

Tribunal agrees to hold up trial

The Khmer Rouge tribunal's trial chamber has adjourned Case 002/02 until January 8 due to a boycott by Khieu Samphan's defence team, who were ordered to attend court but failed to appear. The defence team criticized the trial chamber for not respecting their work and argued they lack resources to work on the appeal and attend hearings simultaneously. Trial Chamber President Nil Nonn suggested the defence's lack of diligence, noting that Samphan's lawyers were in Paris. The chamber considered replacing the lawyers and referring their conduct to bar associations. Samphan's national lawyer Kong Sam Onn viewed the adjournment as a victory and expected the Cambodian Bar Association to condemn the chamber's warnings. The chamber's decision leaves no excuse for future boycotts, according to Long Panhavuth of the Cambodia Justice Initiative. Nuon Chea's defence co-lawyer Victor Koppe was not disappointed with the adjournment, citing a lack of faith in the tribunal's impartiality.

Government arrest strategy has a familiar feel to it

The Cambodian government's recent arrest of seven opposition lawmakers-elect on insurrection charges is reminiscent of similar tactics used nearly a decade ago to suppress dissent. Political observers compare the current situation to the 2005 crackdown when Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Cheam Channy was arrested, and others faced charges. The Cambodian Center for Human Rights Chairman Ou Virak and author Sebastian Strangio note the repetitive nature of these tactics and suggest that foreign pressure has historically moderated the government's actions. The opposition's increased unity and popular support make the outcome uncertain, though it is expected to follow previous patterns of international condemnation followed by a negotiated settlement.

Inside the deal deferred

The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) will chair five of ten parliamentary commissions and take the first vice presidency of the assembly as part of an agreement revealed by CNRP whip Son Chhay. Despite this, disagreements on reform technicalities continue to block a full resolution. The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) will maintain control of the parliamentary presidency and second vice presidency, ensuring a majority on the assembly’s permanent standing committee. Governance experts suggest that without changes to internal assembly rules, the opposition's increased parliamentary presence will not translate into significant power. The parties also disagree on the selection process for the National Election Committee's members. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy accuses the CPP of backtracking on agreements, while the CPP claims it is ahead with drafted constitutional amendments. Further negotiations are expected, but no timeline has been set.

PM, Rainsy eye deal

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and opposition leader Sam Rainsy are engaged in backroom negotiations that could potentially resolve the country's political deadlock before the Khmer New Year. The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has been boycotting its 55 seats in the National Assembly since the July election, citing election irregularities, and has called for early elections, which the ruling party CPP claims would be unconstitutional. The CNRP withdrew from election reform talks after the CPP refused to prioritize its demand for National Election Committee members to be approved by two-thirds of parliament. Hun Sen hinted that only one issue remains unresolved in the draft agreement, while Rainsy, communicating with Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, remained hopeful for a resolution but did not disclose details to avoid jeopardizing the process.

Grenade attack leaves neighbourhood shaken

A grenade attack during a family gathering in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district killed an 11-year-old boy, Sin Dara, and left four others hospitalized with serious injuries. The presumed target, Sin Sorn, a land broker with multiple wives, survived the attack, which is believed to be a revenge act. The grenade was thrown by two men on a motorbike and deflected off a truck, amplifying the impact on the child. The Child Protection Unit is assisting with the investigation, while police are interviewing victims and witnesses and searching for the suspects.
