01:08 capital of Timor-Leste.

01:15 of Dagamo and nine others.

01:53 promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and of expression, to appear as

01:58 a Mikus Curiae or chosen expert in the case.

02:02 Aside from Kan, the High Court also allows the International Bar Association's Human

02:10 In 2020, Ressa and former Rappler researcher Reinaldo Santos were convicted of cyber-libel

02:15 over a case filed by businessman Wilfredo King.

02:19 In 2022, the Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions of Ressa and Santos and imposed

02:23 a longer prison sentence.

02:27 The Philippines questions if China was sincere in "lowering the tensions and promoting

02:32 peace and stability in the South China Sea."

02:35 This as it protests yet another case of harassment by the China Coast Guard and Chinese maritime

02:40 militia during a mission to bring soldiers and supplies to a military outpost in Ayung

02:44 in Seoul.

02:46 On March 23, Chinese Coast Guard and militia ships harassed, shadowed, and blasted water

03:38 As of writing, Shira's agency, EHS Productions, has yet to address the removal of the song

03:42 online.

03:44 Social media users have earlier pointed out "Forever Single" sounds similar to the song

03:48 "Masi Mencintanya" of the Indonesian band Papinga.

03:53 Shira currently has over 626,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

03:58 Some of her other songs are still available to stream on Spotify.

04:03 A Kensington Palace spokesperson says the prince and princess of Wales are enormously

04:07 touched by the messages of support they received since Kate announced her cancer diagnosis.

04:13 "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London.

04:17 The surgery was successful.

04:19 However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.

04:23 My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy,

04:27 and I'm now in the early stages of that treatment."

04:31 Kate's video announcement posted on social media triggered an outpouring of support from

04:35 well-wishers.

04:37 This comes as a fresh health blow to the British royal family, as King Charles is also undergoing

04:42 treatment for cancer.

04:44 Kate's announcement dominated British newspaper front pages on Saturday, with supportive messages

04:49 combined with criticism of those who had speculated about her health in recent weeks.
