Female student expelled In China over sex with foreigner: University says it hurt 'national dignity'
A female university student in China is facing expulsion after being accused of 'hurting national dignity' for having a consensual one-night stand with a foreign visitor in a case that has sparked widespread outrage and accusations of blatant gender discrimination.
According to the South China News, the student, surnamed Li, reportedly had a brief encounter with 37-year-old Ukrainian ex-pro gamer Danylo Teslenko, also known as 'Zeus,' during his visit to Shanghai in December 2024.
Teslenko later shared intimate photos and videos in his online fan group, allegedly without Li's consent.
These were leaked, and her personal information - including her real name, family details, and social media accounts - was doxxed online.
What followed was an onslaught of online harassment, with some men reportedly pressuring Dalian Polytechnic University to take disciplinary action.
The university responded by naming Li publicly and announcing plans to expel her, citing her behaviour as 'misconduct' that brought shame on the institution and the nation.

Ukraine's Zelenskiy says new peace talks in Turkey on Wednesday
Zelenskiy quotes official as saying new talks in Turkey on Wednesday Ukrainian president had called for more momentum in talks Kremlin says two sides have 'diametrically opposed' positions Zelenskiy's statement followed his fresh appeal earlier in the day for greater momentum in negotiations. The Kremlin said it was waiting for an understanding on the date of the talks, but acknowledged that the two sides were 'diametrically opposed' in their positions on how to end the war. 'Today I discussed with Rustem Umerov the preparation for a prisoner exchange and another meeting with the Russian side in Turkey,' Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. 'Umerov reported that the meeting is planned for Wednesday. More details will follow tomorrow.' Umerov, previously defence minister and appointed Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council last week, headed the first two rounds of talks with Russia. An unidentified source had earlier told Russian state news agency TASS that negotiators may meet in Turkey on Thursday and Friday. Zelenskiy earlier told a gathering of his diplomats in Kyiv: 'We need greater momentum in negotiations to end the war.' He added: 'The agenda from our side is clear: the return of prisoners of war, the return of children abducted by Russia, and the preparation of a leaders' meeting.' Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is under increasing pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to show progress towards ending the conflict, turned down a previous challenge from Zelenskiy to meet him in person. Putin has repeatedly said he does not see Zelenskiy as a legitimate leader because Ukraine, which is under martial law, did not hold new elections when his five-year mandate expired last year. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 'There is our draft memorandum, there is a draft memorandum that has been handed over by the Ukrainian side. There is to be an exchange of views and talks on these two drafts, which are diametrically opposed so far.' Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of talks in Istanbul, on May 16 and June 2, that led to the exchange of thousands of prisoners of war and the remains of dead soldiers. But the two sides have made no breakthrough towards a ceasefire or a settlement to end almost three and a half years of war. Trump said last week he would impose new sanctions in 50 days on Russia and countries that buy its exports if there is no deal before then to end the conflict.

UK calls for 50-day drive to arm Ukraine
The UK government on Monday called for a 50-day drive to arm Ukraine to take advantage of a recent ultimatum put to Russia by US President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, Trump gave Russian President Vladimir Putin 50 days to strike a peace deal with Kyiv in the three-year war or face sanctions. UK Defence Secretary John Healey told a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (UDCG) that Kyiv's backers stand at a moment of "maximum opportunity". "As members of this UDCG, we need to step up, in turn, a 50-day drive to arm Ukraine on the battlefield and to help push Putin to the negotiating table," Healey told the virtual meeting of 52 nations. Trump also pledged to supply Kyiv with new military aid, sponsored by NATO allies, as its cities suffer ever-increasing Russian aerial attacks since Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Healey, chairing the meeting alongside German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius, said the UK "backs this policy". "We will play our full part in its success," he added. Russia has escalated long-range aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities as well as frontline assaults and shelling over recent months, defying Trump's warning. Healey said Britain and Germany have "agreed to partner in providing critical air defence missiles to Ukraine". Pistorius said the two countries would provide 220,000 rounds of 35 millimetre ammunition for anti-aircraft guns used by Ukraine. According to the UK defence ministry, Britain has sent £150 million ($200 million) worth of air defence missiles and artillery rounds to Ukraine in the past two months. The UK has pledged to spend £700 million on air defence and artillery ammunition for Ukraine this year. The commitment is in addition to other funding to provide more of the drones that have become key weapons in the war with Russia.

The Chinese-made F-7 BJI aircraft took off at 1:06 pm (0706 GMT) and crashed soon after at the Milestone School and College campus. An AFP photographer at the scene saw fire and rescue officials taking away the injured students on stretchers. Yunus expressed "deep grief and sorrow" over the incident in a post on X. "The loss suffered by the Air Force, the students, parents, teachers, and staff of Milestone School and College, as well as others affected by this accident, is irreparable," he said.
