Terrorism raps filed vs. man who threatened to 'bomb' Comelec sites
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed terrorism charges against an individual over his Facebook post threatening Commission on Elections (Comelec) chairperson George Garcia and others as well as all sites of the Comelec. According to the DOJ, the case for violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 was filed before the Mandaue City regional trial court. This came after the individual offered a P10 million reward to whoever can kill Garcia, former Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, and former Cebu Mayor Raymond Garcia, as well as a P5 million reward to bomb all Comelec sites on social media on May 26. 'The message, which circulated publicly online, was found by prosecutors to be intended to spread fear and intimidation,' the DOJ said. The DOJ said the prosecutors recommended no bail. 'The DOJ reiterates its resolve to prosecute offenses that threaten public safety and misuse digital platforms to incite violence or terror,' it said. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

SC extends its order staying MP minister's arrest, closes HC trial
The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended its interim order staying the arrest of BJP minister Kunwar Vijay Shah in connection with a case registered by the Madhya Pradesh police over his 'sister of terrorists' remark targeting Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta also directed the Madhya Pradesh high court to close the suo motu proceedings related to the same case pending before it, since the apex court is now hearing the matter. The court issued the direction after Solicitor General of India, Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the Madhya Pradesh government, informed the bench that in compliance with its earlier order, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising three officers had been constituted to investigate the case against Shah and its probe was currently underway. The court also took on record a status report filed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Bhopal, which stated that the SIT had visited the site and begun its investigation on May 21. The report also said that the SIT had seized further material, including a transcript of Shah's speech and some mobile phones, and that it had begun recording statements of witnesses. Since its investigation is still at a preliminary stage, the SIT sought additional time. The court agreed and posted the matter for further hearing after regular hearings resume in mid-July this year. It directed the SIT to continue its probe in the meanwhile and also to submit a fresh status report on the next date of hearing. On May 19 this year, the Supreme Court took exception to Shah's communal comments targetting Colonel Qureshi. It rejected the apology offered by Shah and directed the state police, which had until then dragged its feet over investigating the case despite being ordered to do so by the high court, to constitute the SIT to probe the case against the minister. At the time it restrained the police from arresting Shah until further orders. The court passed the order on a petition filed by Shah against the Madhya Pradesh high court order of May 14 that took suo motu cognisance of his remarks and ordered the police to register a first information report (FIR) against him. The FIR against Shah was filed under sections 152 (an act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India), 196(1) (an act which is prejudicial to maintenance of harmony between different religious, racial, language or regional groups or castes or communities and which disturbs or is likely to disturb public tranquillity) and 197 (1) (c) (causing disharmony or feelings of enmity) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Manpur police station in Indore rural. Shah's case has become especially controversial given the inertia displayed by the police in investigating his clearly communal comments, something that is in stark contrast to the alacrity displayed by the Haryana police in arresting a professor at a private university after his Facebook post was misinterpreted by two BJP members, including the head of the state women's body, who then complained about it.

Locals spot 'fantastic' detail as Aussies share photos of bizarre traffic light trend
As Australia's population grows, so too does the demand for essential infrastructure like roads. But this expansion often comes at the expense of natural habitats, raising concern among environmentalists. Much of our development has taken over land that was home to native wildlife for centuries, but every now and then, nature finds a way to adapt. In Newcastle this week, residents were delighted to see a couple of native birds making themselves at home in quite an unlikely spot — the pair of corellas were perched contentedly inside traffic lights. "Corellas are turning Newcastle East into some sort of red light district with their amorous goings on," a local joked online. What started as a single post quickly attracted an onslaught of replies, with other east coast residents sharing their photos of similar scenes they'd captured. From NSW to Queensland, the quirky occurrence appears to be relatively common. "There must be something extra good about the red lights," one person commented. "Nice and warm in there," said another. "They have been doing that for months now," wrote a third. Others suggested the birds simply evolved due to a lack of "hollow trees". "We need to make homes for them and hang them around the city," a woman suggested. In reality, there's a simple reason red lights might be so appealing to these birds — it is for warmth. The LED globes inside traffic signals generate heat, making them cosy nesting spots during cooler months. Combined with the enclosed casing and elevation off the ground, they provide a safe, weatherproof hideaway that mimics the natural tree hollows many birds are struggling to find in today's urban environments. Bold plan to reintroduce wild animals into Australia's major cities 'Dangerous' problem sparked by city's continuous urban sprawl Photographer surprised by cheeky corellas living inside traffic lights It's not the first time corellas, a type of cockatoo, have been spotted in their cosy makeshift cocoons, with red lights in particular the most attractive to the little birds. Back in 2023, another pair of corellas got the internet talking after they were photographed nesting in a set of traffic lights in Manly, Sydney. Peta Bulling from the Australian Conservation Foundation said it's "truly incredible" that bird species can adapt so well to urban areas. "[Another] great example of that is that is the gang-gang cockatoo. It's endangered… but you wouldn't necessarily realise if you were walking around the suburbs of Canberra because you see them relatively often and have a distinct call,' she had earlier said. "But these cockatoos really like the same sort of habitat we do. They like mature trees, and they're not disturbed by humans as much as some other animals." Do you have a story tip?
