Brazil presidential election drama unfolds: Live updates

In Incheon, a state‑run care home has become the centre of a scandal when its director admitted to raping three intellectually disabled residents over nearly a decade. The judge reduced the initial plea for 20 years to 15, but appealed. The case has sparked nationwide protests and prompted a government review of 1,507 care facilities. The local county has ordered the home to close, and officials are pledging stricter inspections for all facilities. Families now demand safer environments for disabled residents.

Thousands of supporters of jailed former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan are marching toward Islamabad, demanding his release and proper medical care. The protest began in Lakki Marwat and signals concerns over Khan’s deteriorating health, with his family alleging loss of vision in his right eye after prison authorities ignored medical complaints. The former cricketer faces over 100 corruption‑related cases, which he claims are politically motivated, and remains a powerful political force despite incarceration. A brief pause of talks between PTI and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was followed by a deadlock, prompting supporters to resume their march amid protests and road blockages. The ongoing clashes highlight tensions between the ruling coalition and PTI and raise questions about the treatment of political prisoners in Pakistan.
