AI Summary:
Rodrigo Duterte is facing a charge of crimes against humanity linked to the deadly crackdown on drugs he oversaw while in office. Police arrested him at Manila’s airport as he returned from a trip to Hong Kong, where he was put on a plane to Dubai. Estimates of the death toll during Duterte’s presidential term vary, from the more than 6,000 that the national police have reported to the up to 30,000 claimed by human rights groups. The ICC opened an inquiry in 2021 into mass killings linked to the so-called war on drugs overseen by him when he served as mayor of Davao and later as president. Duterte can apply for provisional release from the court’s detention centre while he waits. Kremlin says it is awaiting details from Washington about its proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. For Ukraine, this seems like an opportunity to demonstrate that it wants a ceasefire. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Washington would reach out to Russia on Wednesday. “We all eagerly await the Russian response and urge them strongly to consider ending all hostilities,” Rubio said. Beacháin explained the US could apply more pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his regime.
