South Korea tells tourists on holiday island Jeju to behave
Police in Jeju have for the first time released guidelines reminding foreign visitors to behave or face fines, as the South Korean holiday island sees an increasing number of tourists. Jeju police issued the guide following complaints from locals over foreigners' misbehaviour, including littering and letting children defecate on the street. The guide - printed in Chinese, English and Korean - is the first of its kind in the country, local police say, and comes during the peak summer season. Jeju, a volcanic island south of the Korean peninsula, is popular for its beaches, walking trails and windswept mountain views. Foreign visitors also come to Jeju for shopping and gambling. The guide aims to "prevent misunderstandings due to language and cultural differences and improve foreigners' understanding of Korean culture and laws", said Jeju Police Agency chief Kim Su-young. An initial eight thousand copies of the guide will be printed and distributed immediately, Kim said. The guide lists down "minor offences" that are punishable by fines. These include smoking in prohibited areas, littering, jaywalking, drunk and disorderly behaviour, running away from restaurants without paying for meals, urinating or defecating in public, using a fake ID, and trespassing and breaking into empty houses. First time violators are let off with with a warning, but repeat offenders could be fined by as much as 200,000 won ($143; £106), according to a copy of the guide released by police. South Korea has seen a strong post-pandemic rebound in tourism. Jeju alone has welcomed seven million visitors so far this year, according to local media. In 2024, foreign visitors pumped a record 9.26 trillion won into the local economy. Nearly 70% of these visitors visiting Jeju were from China. The island's crackdown on misbehaviour also highlights how tourism hotspots across Asia have been responding to over-tourism. Last year, a Japanese town blocked a famous roadside view of Mount Fuji to ward off tourists seeking to take pictures and selfies.

England icon Peter Shilton's incredible 28-year-old world appearance record broken by Brazilian Serie A star
Fabio breaks Shilton's appearance record Debate remains over Shilton's official match tally Brazilian keeper nearing 1,400 official appearances Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Shilton, who enjoyed a stellar career spanning between 1966 and 1997, has long been credited with holding the all-time appearance record, but his exact total remains a subject of much debate. He lists 1,387 matches in the biography section of his X account. Guinness World Records, however, recognises 1,390. A separate calculation of his senior club and England national team outings comes to 1,374, with higher counts possibly including appearances for England Under-23s and various regional cup competitions. THE BIGGER PICTURE What's clear, though, is that Fabio's relentless consistency since starting his career back in 1998 has propelled him into history's top tier, regardless of disputed tallies. Fluminense officials presented Fabio with a commemorative plate and a bespoke painting, while he played the match against America de Cali donning a shirt adorned with a special patch marking his milestone. WHAT FABIO SAID 'I have nothing but reasons to thank God, who allowed me to experience this special moment, to reach this gigantic milestone,' Fabio said. 'It was incredibly moving to experience it, especially having my family by my side during the tributes. It's a huge satisfaction to reach this record wearing the Fluminense jersey, which opened doors for me. Now it's time to keep playing and strive for new achievements with each game.' DID YOU KNOW? Fabio's entire career has been forged in Brazil. He began his professional journey with Uniao Bandeirante (30 games) before moving to Vasco da Gama (150 games). His most successful spell came at Cruzeiro, where he amassed a staggering 976 matches, cementing himself as one of the club's most iconic figures. Since joining Fluminense, he has added another 235 appearances, becoming a cornerstone for the Rio de Janeiro giants. Remarkably, despite his domestic dominance, Fabio has never played for the Brazilian national team. WHAT NEXT? At 44, Fabio has become football's iron man, a symbol of endurance in a sport. He featured in six matches at this summer's Club World Cup, helping Fluminense to the semi-finals before falling to eventual champions Chelsea. His presence between the sticks is still trusted on the continental stage, underlining both his resilience and enduring quality.
