LONDON: The British government has formally asked China to provide explanations regarding partially redacted documents submitted for its new embassy project in London. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner sent a letter to the Chinese government’s representative firm DP9, seeking clarity on sections obscured for security reasons. The proposed embassy site, purchased by Beijing in 2018 for $327 million, is located near the Tower of London and was once home to the Royal Mint. Local authorities previously rejected China’s initial plans in 2022, citing concerns from residents and human rights advocates. China resubmitted nearly identical proposals in July 2024, reigniting debate over the project. The UK government has given Beijing until August 20 to respond to the latest request for transparency. The embassy complex, if approved, would become the largest diplomatic facility in Britain. The controversy comes as the Labour government attempts to recalibrate relations with China. Critics argue the project’s lack of transparency raises broader concerns about Beijing’s influence in the UK. Supporters view it as an opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties through diplomatic infrastructure. - AFP

LONDON: A rare first edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” sold for £43,000 at auction this week after being discovered during a house clearance in southwest England. The book, purchased by a UK private collector, is one of only 1,500 original copies printed in 1937. Auctioneum, the auction house handling the sale, stated that just a few hundred of these first editions are believed to survive today. Bidders worldwide pushed the final price to over four times the auction house’s initial estimate. “It’s a wonderful result, for a very special book,“ said Auctioneum rare books specialist Caitlin Riley. The surviving copies from the first print run are now among the most coveted items in modern literature, according to Auctioneum. The book was found during a routine house clearance after the owner’s passing, hidden in an ordinary bookcase. “Nobody knew it was there,“ Riley remarked. “It was just a run-of-the-mill bookcase,“ she added. Riley immediately recognised it as an early edition of “The Hobbit” but was stunned to confirm it was a genuine first edition. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,“ she said, describing it as an “unimaginably rare find”. The copy features Tolkien’s original black-and-white illustrations and is bound in light green cloth. It belonged to botanist Hubert Priestley, whose family library preserved the book for decades. Auctioneum suggested Priestley and Tolkien likely knew each other through mutual connections at the University of Oxford. Both corresponded with author C.S. Lewis, another Oxford contemporary. “The Hobbit” has sold over 100 million copies globally and inspired the “Lord of the Rings” series. The books were later adapted into a blockbuster film franchise in the 2000s. A first edition with Tolkien’s handwritten Elvish note previously sold for £137,000 at Sotheby’s in 2015. - AFP

NEW YORK: One of America’s largest private prison operators has capitalised on President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies through soaring profits and expanded detention facilities. Geo Group announced a $300 million share repurchase programme following a $29.1 million quarterly profit, reversing last year’s $32.5 million loss. Revenue grew 4.8% to $636.2 million as the company added thousands of detention beds nationwide to meet ICE demand. Executive Chairman George Zoley acknowledged logistical hurdles in ICE’s plan to hire 10,000 staff, calling it “very expensive and very complicated.” The Florida-based firm expects four new facilities to generate $240 million annually when fully operational in 2026. Another 5,900 idle beds across six locations could produce $310 million yearly if utilised by immigration authorities. Zoley noted Republican-led states like Florida and Texas are cooperating to address ICE’s projected need for 100,000 detention beds. Congress recently tripled ICE’s four-year detention budget to $45 billion under Trump’s fiscal package. CoreCivic, another major prison operator, also raised financial targets after quarterly profits more than doubled to $38.5 million. Geo Group shares closed 2.6% higher following the earnings report. - AFP

INTER MIAMI star Lionel Messi will miss the team's Leagues Cup match against Pumas UNAM on Wednesday following a right leg injury he suffered over the weekend. Messi's muscle injury has been described as “minor” and “slight” by team officials, and coach Javier Mascherano has reason to hope that Messi won't need much time to recover. “Yes, I spoke to (Messi),“ Mascherano said at a press conference Tuesday. “Well, the club issued a statement that was very clear. It’s a slight injury, within the bad news, it’s good news. “We don’t like to estimate a return, especially in Leo’s (case). He usually recovers very well from injuries and above all, normally does with speed. So we will see, but clearly for (Wednesday) he is unavailable. But then we will see how he feels, how he progresses.” Messi came out of Miami's Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in the 11th minute, shortly after getting hurt in a collision with two opponents. Miami has one regulation win and one penalty shootout win through its first two Leagues Cup matches, good for five points and third place among MLS teams. The Pumas match will be the club's last in the group stage, after which the top four MLS teams will advance to the knockouts to face Liga MX's top four. Inter Miami resumes MLS regular-season action on Sunday at rival Orlando City.

ACCRA: Ghana’s defence and environment ministers were killed in a military helicopter crash on Wednesday. The air force chopper, carrying three crew and five passengers, crashed in a forested area in the south. Television station Joy News aired footage showing smouldering wreckage at the crash site. Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed were among the dead. Boamah was appointed defence minister shortly after President John Mahama’s swearing-in in January. Muhammed, 50, was serving as minister of environment, science, and technology. Muhammed had been scheduled to attend UN talks in Geneva on a global plastic pollution treaty. The helicopter was en route to an event on illegal mining, a major environmental issue in Ghana. All on board died in the crash in the Ashanti region. President Mahama’s chief of staff Julius Debrah extended condolences to the families of the deceased. The Ghanaian Armed Forces launched an investigation into the crash of the Z9 helicopter. The military reported the helicopter lost contact after takeoff from Accra. Deputy National Security Coordinator Alhaji Muniru Mohammed and NDC vice chairman Samuel Sarpong were also killed. Boamah had been addressing rising jihadist threats near Ghana’s northern border. Ghana faces risks from arms trafficking and militant movements from Burkina Faso. Boamah previously served as communications minister under Mahama’s earlier administration. Muhammed led efforts against illegal gold mining, which has damaged farmlands and water sources. The practice, known as “galamsey,“ threatens cocoa production. The government recently established the Ghana Gold Board to curb illegal mining. Muhammed was a respected environmentalist, praised by UNEP chief Inger Andersen. Boamah had recently engaged in diplomatic talks with Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. He was set to release a book on former president John Atta Mills. President Mahama declared three days of national mourning starting Thursday. Flags will fly at half-mast as investigations into the crash continue. - AFP

DERITA seorang remaja perempuan yang menjadi mangsa pemuas nafsu bapanya sejak 10 tahun lalu akhirnya terbongkar apabila dia menceritakan perbuatan terkutuk itu kepada ibunya pada Sabtu lalu.Mangsa yang kini berusia 18 tahun dan bekerja sebagai jurujual dipercayai telah dirogol oleh bapanya yang bekerja sebagai mekanik sejak dia berusia lapan tahun lagi.Menurut sumber, mangsa yang merupakan anak sulung daripada enam beradik mendakwa terpaksa merahsiakan perbuatan jijik tersebut sejak sekian lama kerana diugut oleh suspek yang mengancam untuk memukulnya serta merogol adik-adiknya yang lain.Kes rogol membabitkan bapa kandung terhadap anak perempuan sendiri ini merupakan satu tragedi yang amat membimbangkan dan menyayat hati.Ia bukan sekadar jenayah seksual tetapi satu pengkhianatan terhadap kepercayaan paling asas dalam institusi keluarga.Lebih membimbangkan, penderaan seksual sejak usia kanak-kanak boleh meninggalkan kesan trauma jangka panjang. Mangsa berisiko tinggi mengalami masalah kesihatan mental serius seperti kemurungan, keresahan melampau serta gangguan stres pasca-trauma (PTSD) yang berpanjangan.Untuk menangani isu seperti ini, penguatkuasaan undang-undang dan tindakan proaktif daripada pihak berkuasa adalah amat penting.Pihak Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) perlu bertindak tegas dan segera. Siasatan menyeluruh mesti dijalankan dan suspek wajib didakwa di bawah peruntukan undang-undang yang relevan seperti Kanun Keseksaan.Hukuman berat perlu dikenakan demi memberikan keadilan kepada mangsa serta sebagai pengajaran kepada masyarakat.Kerajaan juga perlu mempergiat kempen kesedaran berkaitan penderaan seksual dalam keluarga.Pendidikan mengenai bahaya, tanda-tanda awal serta cara melaporkan kejadian penderaan mesti disebarkan secara menyeluruh bagi memecahkan budaya diam dan menormalisasikan tindakan melaporkan jenayah tanpa rasa takut atau malu.Kes ini menjadi peringatan pahit bahawa jenayah seksual boleh berlaku di tempat yang sepatutnya paling selamat dalam rumah sendiri.Dengan penguatkuasaan undang-undang yang cekap, perlindungan menyeluruh terhadap mangsa dan kesedaran masyarakat yang tinggi, kita harus bersama-sama berusaha untuk mencegah tragedi serupa daripada terus berlaku.Pada masa sama, mangsa penderaan seksual wajib dibela dan disokong agar mereka dapat menjalani kehidupan yang lebih bermaruah dan bermakna.
