AUSTRALIA: A man has been charged with threatening an Australian lawmaker’s staff with nunchaku, a martial arts weapon, police said today, days after another legislator was critically injured in an attack.
Police say that a man entered Western Australia state minister Hannah Beazley’s electorate office in suburban Perth on Wednesday, brandishing nunchaku and making verbal threats. Ms Beazley wasn’t in the office at the time.
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT: The International Criminal Court and officials working at the tribunal have won the European Union’s top human rights honour, the Sakharov Prize, an official said today.
The award came just days after the US announced sweeping new sanctions against the court as part of its campaign to dismantle the tribunal over investigations into the US and its allies, including Israel.
ITALY: A hauliers’ protest in southern Italy has halted the production of the famed buffalo mozzarella, causing an estimated €3 million loss in just 24 hours as the milk cannot reach dairies in the Naples region and the finished cheese cannot reach customers, an official said today.
The weeklong lorry drivers’ strike was sparked by the war launched by the US and Israel on Iran.
