South Korea's Four Port Authorities Reject Proposed Merger

South Korea's four port authorities—Busan, Incheon, Ulsan, and Yeosu-Gwangyang—are pushing back against a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries plan to merge them into one centralized corporation.

Morena's 2027 Gubernatorial Picks Ignite PT Revolt

Morena just named coordinators for 17 gubernatorial races across 7 states in one marathon day—without publishing the surveys that were supposed to legitimize them. Party president Ariadna Montiel promised those numbers since September 22. Still waiting. Junior partner PT is calling it maltreatment. Its own math: a fractured coalition

Romania rejects 2nd cabinet as president weighs dissolving Parliament

Romania just rejected a second cabinet in a row. Siegfried Mureșan's coalition pulled in 182 votes — a full 51 short of the 233 needed to form a government. Now President Nicușor Dan holds the constitutional key under Article 89: two failed proposals plus 60 days passed clears the

Flydubai FZ1073: flight data undercuts 'under control' narrative

Flydubai FZ1073 was declared "under control" hours after its Tabuk emergency landing. The tracking data tells a harder story. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 dropped ~14,000 feet (34,000 to under 17,000) in under 30 seconds. Its transponder shifted from squawk 7700 to 7500 — the international

Cybersecurity locks over medical records and database servers in Poland

Poland's healthcare sector breaches expose nearly 38M patient records

A fortnight of hacks battered Poland's medical sector — and the official numbers don't add up. Qbusoft flagged ~5 million patient records compromised. Intelligence suggests the true haul was closer to 19 million, exfiltrated via an unpatched SQL injection on its Medyc platform between July 2024 and

Four survive Wisconsin cornfield Cessna crash, but the heroics story may be premature

4 occupants walked away from a Cessna 206 crash into a Wisconsin cornfield, with skydivers among the first on scene. ✈️ Yet "no fatalities" is not proof of a well-functioning system. A comparable rescue delay in Darwin produced five deaths in a similar scenario. A working farm now
