Cambodia, Thailand meet to cement permanent ceasefire
Cambodia and Thailand's top defence officials have begun a meeting in Malaysia to finalise a permanent end to hostilities following a violent five-day border conflict that ended in an unconditional ceasefire late in July. The Southeast Asian neighbours saw the worst fighting in over a decade last month, including exchanges of artillery fire and jet fighter bombing runs that claimed at least 43 lives and left over 300,000 people displaced on both sides of the border. Fighting has continued despite diplomatic interventions from China and Malaysia, chair of the regional bloc ASEAN, calling for restraint. The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand only came to the negotiation table when US President Donald Trump told them that tariff negotiations would not continue unless there was peace, Reuters reported. Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Seiha and Thailand's acting defence minister Nattaphon Narkphanit are meeting at Malaysia's Armed Forces headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. The two countries will establish guidelines to resolve border disputes, restore trust between their military forces and agree to a ceasefire with measures to minimise tensions and protect civilians, Nattaphon said in a statement before the talks. The conditions were formulated during three days of talks between senior officials in Kuala Lumpur and are to be finalised on the fourth day in the presence of observers from China and the United States. Thailand and Cambodia have quarrelled for decades over undemarcated parts of their 817km land border, which was first mapped by France in 1907 when the latter was its colony.

Brazil's Bolsonaro appeals house arrest order
Lawyers for former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro have appealed a house arrest order imposed against him. Bolsonaro was placed under house arrest on Monday after an order was issued by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes against him. Moraes' decision cited a failure to comply with restraining orders he had imposed on Bolsonaro for allegedly courting US President Donald Trump's interference in the case. Bolsonaro's lawyers had already said that they would appeal the decision to place him under house arrest. In a document seen by Reuters, the lawyers said Bolsonaro did not breach the restraining orders. They also asked for the house arrest order to be voted on by a wider panel of Supreme Court justices. Bolsonaro is on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election. The case has gripped the South American country as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration. The trial is receiving renewed attention after Trump directly tied a 50 per cent tariff on imported Brazilian goods to the judicial situation of Bolsonaro, a Trump ally. The US leader has called the proceedings a "witch hunt". Prosecutors accuse Bolsonaro of heading a criminal organisation that plotted to overturn the election, including plans to kill President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes. The top court in July ordered Bolsonaro wear an electronic ankle monitor and imposed a curfew on his activities while the proceedings were under way.
