From behind prison walls, Chow Hang-tung, one of Hong Kong’s most prominent remaining democracy activists, continues to write about freedom, human rights and resistance.

In one of her essays, Chow reflects on something as ordinary as worrying about her hairstyle before appearing in court because her prison cell has no comb or mirror. Yet, she says, even small acts of personal expression become important in an environment where individuality is stripped away and daily life is controlled by uniforms, schedules and strict rules.

The seemingly simple observations contrast sharply with Chow’s position as a leading Hong Kong dissident. The 41-year-old barrister has spent nearly five years in detention over her role in organising annual vigils commemorating the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

After spending more than a year searching unsuccessfully for a new corporate job, 45-year-old Kristy Layden decided to make a major career change and return to school to become a nurse.

Layden, who lives in Frisco, Texas, previously worked as a senior manager in e-commerce and fulfilment. After losing her job in early 2025, she began an extensive search for new opportunities, initially targeting product management roles before expanding into project and programme management.

Over the course of a year, she submitted more than 250 job applications but advanced to the next stage in only about 25 cases. The prolonged job hunt gradually affected her confidence and motivation.

Two prominent Hong Kong activists who organised annual vigils commemorating the victims of China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown have been found guilty of inciting subversion under the city’s national security law.

Lee Cheuk-yan, 69, and Chow Hang-tung, 41, were convicted of encouraging others to organise, plan or participate in actions deemed aimed at subverting state power. They could face up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing to take place at a later date.

The pair were senior figures in the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance, which for decades organised annual candlelight vigils to remember those killed during the 1989 pro-democracy protests in Beijing.

The body of 18-year-old hiker Lily Hooper, who had been missing for more than a week, has been found in a remote area of New South Wales’ Nattai National Park.

NSW Police have issued an “unreserved” apology after initially reporting that Hooper had been found alive. The incorrect information was later corrected within minutes, confirming that the teenager had died.

The teenager was located by SES search volunteers on Thursday morning in dense and difficult terrain, around 90km south-west of Sydney. Police said her body was found a significant distance from where her car had been parked near the Wanganderry Road trailhead.

Assistant Commissioner Joe Cassar said the initial report that Hooper was alive came from search volunteers before a more accurate update was communicated to police.

Five journalists and two military personnel were briefly detained at gunpoint by security officers at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California after guards mistakenly believed they were attempting to enter the facility without authorization, according to local media reports.

The incident occurred Monday ahead of an invitation-only groundbreaking ceremony for a new training facility for missile operators at the military installation near Santa Barbara.

Reporters from Noozhawk, KEYT, KSBY-TV and the Santa Maria Times/Lompoc Record were among those detained. The journalists had been invited to cover the event and were travelling in a convoy escorted by uniformed public affairs personnel.

More than 100 people have died after an artisanal goldmine collapsed in western Central African Republic (CAR), according to local officials and aid workers. The disaster occurred after a landslide struck the mining site in the village of Zamboye.

The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon, around 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the town of Baboua and close to the border with Cameroon. Videos circulating on social media appeared to show a large mass of sand and earth sliding down onto a group of people believed to be miners.

A local prosecutor said several people were trapped beneath the debris, although no official death toll was initially provided.

Hundreds of tourists have descended on a scenic mountain refuge in Italy’s Dolomites—not simply to enjoy the breathtaking views, but to get their hands on a popular cream-filled pastry that has gone viral on social media.

The crowds gathered at the Friedrich August refuge, located around 2,300 metres (7,500 feet) above sea level between Col Rodella and Passo Sella in Val di Fassa. Some visitors reportedly arrived at dawn or even camped overnight in an effort to buy the freshly baked krapfen, a traditional German-style pastry similar to a doughnut.

A student in the southern Philippines livestreamed an attack in a school classroom, killing another student before taking his own life, authorities said. The incident marks the second major school shooting in the country in less than two months.

The shooting occurred at a school affiliated with Ateneo de Zamboanga University in Zamboanga City, a Catholic educational institution in western Mindanao.

Zamboanga City Mayor Khymer Adan Olaso said the suspect entered the school carrying a high-powered firearm and a .45-calibre pistol.

Interior Secretary Victor Remulla confirmed that the ninth-grade suspect livestreamed the attack on social media. The account used for the livestream was later disabled.

The death toll from a boat accident on Zimbabwe’s Lake Kariba has risen to 68 after rescue teams recovered 22 additional bodies, police said on Saturday.

The ferry capsized on Tuesday while travelling on Lake Kariba, which lies along the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Initial findings suggest the vessel may have been overloaded when strong winds caused it to overturn.

Police said 18 children were among those who died, making the incident one of the deadliest boat disasters in Zimbabwe’s history.
