Haribo opens Asia's 1st offline store in S. Korea
German confectionery company Haribo opened a dedicated offline store in South Korea on Wednesday, marking the brand's first standalone outlet in Asia as it seeks to meet growing demand in the region's fourth-largest economy. Haribo, the world's leading manufacturer of fruit gummy products, has sold its products in South Korea for more than a decade. In early 2023, it established Haribo Korea Ltd. to expand its presence in the local jelly gum market. South Korea has become Haribo's largest market in Asia in recent years, a company spokesperson said, without disclosing specific sales figures. The company plans to increase the number of offline stores nationwide over the long term, the spokesperson added. The flagship store, Asia's first, is located at Shinsegae Simon Premium Outlets in Yeoju, about 65 kilometers southeast of Seoul. (Yonhap)

Thousands of Afghans secretly moved to Britain after data leak
LONDON (Reuters) -- Britain set up a secret scheme to bring thousands of Afghans to the UK after their personal details were disclosed in one of the country's worst ever data breaches, putting them at risk of reprisals from the Taliban after their return to power. Concerns that individuals could be targeted by the Taliban led the previous Conservative government to set up the relocation scheme, involving thousands of people and estimated to cost the government about 2 billion pounds ($2.7 billion). The leak by the Ministry of Defense in early 2022, which led to data being published on Facebook the following year, and the secret relocation program, were subject to a so-called superinjunction preventing the media reporting what happened, which was lifted on Tuesday by a court. British Defense Minister John Healey apologized for the leak, which included details about members of parliament and senior military officers who supported applications to help Afghan soldiers who worked with the British military and their families relocate to the UK. "This serious data incident should never have happened," Healey told lawmakers in the House of Commons. "It may have occurred three years ago under the previous government, but to all whose data was compromised I offer a sincere apology." The incident ranks among the worst security breaches in modern British history because of the cost and risk posed to the lives of thousands of Afghans, some of whom fought alongside British forces until their chaotic withdrawal in 2021. Healey said about 4,500 Afghans and their family members have been relocated or were on their way to Britain under the previously secret scheme. But he added that no-one else from Afghanistan would be offered asylum because of the data leak, citing a government review which found little evidence of intent from the Taliban to seek retribution against former officials. The review, a summary of which was also published on Tuesday, said more than 16,000 people affected by it had been relocated to the UK as of May this year, though some of those had been relocated to the UK under existing schemes. News of the leak comes as Britain's public finances are tight and the right-wing, anti-immigration Reform UK political party leads in the opinion polls. The government is facing lawsuits from those affected by the breach, further adding to the ultimate cost of the incident. Sean Humber, a lawyer at Leigh Day who has acted for Afghan citizens affected by previous data breaches, said those affected were "likely to have strong claims for substantial compensation" for the anxiety and distress caused by the leak. British forces were first deployed to Afghanistan in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks on the US, and they played a major role in combat operations there until 2014. In early 2022, a spreadsheet containing details of Afghans who had worked for the British government prior to the Taliban takeover in 2021 and had applied for relocation to Britain was emailed to someone outside of government systems by mistake. The superinjunction was first granted in 2023 after the Ministry of Defense, under the former Conservative government, argued that a public disclosure of the breach could put people at risk of extra-judicial killing or serious violence by the Taliban. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's center-left government, which was elected last July, launched a review into the injunction, the breach and the relocation scheme.

Trump says pharmaceutical tariffs might come at the end of the month
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration might start imposing tariffs on pharmaceutical imports at the end of the month, while noting the timeline for duties on semiconductors was "similar" to that of those on pharmaceuticals. Trump made the remarks, suggesting that his administration will phase in the tariffs on pharmaceuticals to allow time for companies to construct their production facilities in the United States. "Probably at the end of the month and we are going to start off with a low tariff and give pharmaceutical companies a year or so to build, and then we're going to make it a very high tariff," he said during a press availability after returning from a public event in Pittsburgh. He said that the implementation schedule for tariffs on semiconductors was similar but did not elaborate. Last week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that the Trump administration will complete its national security probes into semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports at the end of this month -- an indication that Trump's tariff announcements on the imports might be approaching. Lutnick was referring to the investigations that he initiated in April under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Under the law, the president is provided with authority to adjust imports into the US when he determines they threaten to impair national security. (Yonhap)
