The maker of Red Bull has decided to distance the brand from its Thai heir&nbsp;Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya after a big controversy spurred in the last week.

Thailand locals are not happy about the way allegations of hit-and-run case were handled by the local police. In 2012, Yoovidhya was alleged of a hit-and-run case. It was alleged that the heir crashed his Ferrari in Bangkok's most exclusive neighbourhood and killed a policeman.

No action was taken all this time and by the time an arrest warrant was issued five years later, Yoovidhya had already flown to Singapore in a private jet.

What caused havoc was that on Friday, police confirmed the remaining charges against him had been dropped, including reckless driving causing death.

The dropping of charges for the 'rich boy' caused protests and disapproval by Thai citizens. Thailand has had a reputation of letting the rich families slip through the hands of justice system.

When the announcement was made, hashtags such as&nbsp;#BossRedBull and #BoycottRedbull started trending on Twitter in English as well as Thai language.

After the online and offline outrage over the decision, the&nbsp;attorney-general's office has decided to set up a committee to investigate why the charges were dropped.

Meanwhile the TCP Group, the parent company of Red Bull, issued a statement claiming that Yoovidhya&nbsp;"has never assumed any role in the management and daily operations of TCP Group, was never a shareholder, nor has he held any executive position within TCP Group."

A day after the United Kingdom announced its plan to impose a compulsory 14-day quarantine for travellers entering the country from Spain.

The move was announced on Saturday noon, and was implemented from midnight&nbsp;(2300 GMT on Saturday), which created an atmosphere of chaos for travellers enroute the UK.

This decision of sudden implementation was not well-received by the travellers. However, the UK government has made it clear that the decision will stay and without any apologies.

"We can`t make apologies...we must be able to take swift, decisive action," British foreign minister Dominic Raab said on Sunday in a local interview.

Raab said the decision was taken as a&nbsp;"real-time response" to the surge in coronavirus cases in Spain and to protect their own citizens.

The opposition has, however, called this move by the Boris Johnson administration to be "frankly shambolic".

'It's a real time response': Britain defends decision on Spanish quarantine move

Russia tested an anti-satellite weapon in space on July 15. The&nbsp;weapon launch sent warning beeps through space control desks in the US and the UK.

One of its satellites fired a missile-like projectile&nbsp;which is capable of striking an enemy satellite. It is&nbsp;the first time such a test has been conducted by any country.

For America, it&nbsp;is a reminder of the space race during the Cold War. The US says that Russia's actions are consistent with its doctrine to attack US space assets.

In November, Russia had launched a satellite that carried another satellite in its womb. The satellite formed in the space but did not pose a threat at that time. However, six months later, both these satellites came incredibly close to an American military satellite known as KH-11 — one of America's most powerful spies in space.

It&nbsp;was considered to be a border incursion in space to which America complained, and later Russia pulled away.&nbsp;The US now claims it is the same satellite that has test-fired.

America's suspicions date back to 2018 when Russian satellites first began to display mysterious behaviour. In the same year, France claimed that a Russian satellite had cosied up to a French satellite. France said that Russia is playing dangerous games in space.

Now, the United Kingdom has woken up to the danger and has&nbsp;slammed Russia for test-firing a weapon in space. It comes days after an internal report declared that the UK is badly underestimating the Russian threat.

Russia is among the only four countries in the world that have demonstrated anti-satellite capability — the others are America, India and China.

The US President Donald Trump has even created a separate space command to counter Russia and China. The US has released a document that shows how the space war may evolve.

Fleetwood Mac guitarist and co-founder of the influential rock group Peter Green has died at age 73, the Associated Press reported on Saturday, citing a statement from Green’s lawyers.

The law firm Swan Turton said in a statement that Green had died in his sleep this weekend, AP reported. The firm did not immediately return Reuters’ request for comment.

Green, born in London, was one of original four members of the band founded in 1967 and was one of eight members to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Tributes from Green’s British rock peers and admiring fans poured in on Twitter on Saturday, remembering him as one of the most talented guitarists of his generation.

“An Artist I Truly Loved &amp; Admired…He Was A Breathtaking Singer, Guitarist &amp; Composer,” tweeted British rock band Whitesnake singer David Coverdale.

“God bless the ineffable Peter Green, one of the unsung heroes of musical integrity, innovation and spirit,” British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens tweeted.

Hundreds of Thai LGBT activists and allies raised rainbow flags on Saturday evening as they called for democracy and equal rights, the latest in a series of youth protests calling for the government to step down.

Several youth-led demonstrations have sprung up across the country since last week, when thousands of Thai activists defied a coronavirus ban on gatherings and staged one of the largest street rallies since a 2014 military coup.

The activists on Saturday danced and sang and performed stand-up comedy sketches making jabs at the government of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former army chief who ousted an elected government six years ago. Pride flags were waved against the backdrop of Bangkok`s Democracy Monument.

"We`re here today mainly to call for democracy. Once we achieve democracy, equal rights will follow," said a 21-year-old activist who went by a made-up name, Viktorious Nighttime.

"The LGBT group do not yet have equal rights in society, so we`re calling for both democracy and equality," added Viktorious, who was wearing a glittery tiara and a face mask.

The calls came after Thailand`s cabinet backed a civil partnership bill earlier this month that would recognise same-sex unions with almost the same rights as married couples.

Saturday`s gathering was the latest in a series of protests under the Free Youth movement, which has issued three demands: the dissolution of parliament, an end to harassment of government critics, and amendments to the military-written constitution.

"Even if they don`t step down from power today, we want to let them know that we won`t go anywhere, we will be here," said a 21-year-old protestor who gave her name as Yaya. "Even if they get rid of us, our ideology will never die, we will pass this on to the next generation."

Britain`s government is set to announce all travellers from Spain arriving after midnight (2300 GMT) on Saturday will need to spend two weeks in quarantine in case they are infected with coronavirus, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.

"Second wave of Covid-19 there has prompted decision to kick Spain off the safe country list," the newspaper`s political editor, Tim Shipman, said on Twitter.

Britain`s health ministry had no immediate comment on the report.

If true, the reported announcement would deal a heavy blow to Spain, which is trying to recoup its tourism season after the sector took a battering from coronavirus lockdowns and travel restrictions earlier in the year.

There was no immediate comment from Spanish government officials.

Cases of coronavirus have been on the rise again in recent weeks in Spain, prompting concern in several European countries.

On Friday Norway said it will re-impose a 10-day quarantine requirement for people arriving from Spain from Saturday, while France advised people not to travel to the Spanish region of Catalonia.

The safe country list referred to by Shipman is a list of countries that the UK government has said are safe for travellers to visit - meaning people do not have to go into quarantine on return home.

Such quarantines are likely to put people off taking a holiday in "non-safe" countries.

The rules apply to travellers arriving in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set their own quarantine rules.

Britons make a big contribution to Spain`s tourism sector.

Last year 83.7 million tourists travelled to Spain, of which 18.08 million were British, making them the largest group by nationality, according to Spanish National Statistics Office.

Violence in Afghanistan has risen in recent months even after a peace deal was signed between the US and Taliban earlier this year.

The US-Taliban accord, signed in Qatar`s capital of Doha at the end of February, was meant to allow for American troops to gradually leave Afghanistan after 19 years of war and pave way for intra-Afghan negotiations that would shape the country`s political future.Under the accord, the Taliban pledged to combat other terror groups -- including al-Qaeda, which they once harboured -- and prevent terrorists from using Afghan territory to stage attacks on America.

France has opened a probe into alleged crimes against humanity by a top former Rwandan military official, Aloys Ntiwiragabo, during the country's 1994 genocide which claimed 800,000 lives.

Anti-terrorism prosecutors told AFP Saturday that a preliminary investigation was opened after Ntiwiragabo was found hiding in the suburbs of the city of Orleans, about 100 kilometres south-west of Paris.

French investigative news site Mediapart tracked down the former Rwandan spy chief, who was identified by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) as one of the architects of the genocide.

Neither the ICTR, Interpol, France nor Rwanda were actively seeking him now and had dropped arrest warrants years ago.

The revelation of his whereabouts comes barely two months after another suspected genocide architect, Felicien Kabuga, was arrested on the fringes of Paris.

Kabuga, who evaded police in several countries for 25 years, is accused of financing the genocide.

Kabuga had asked for a trial in France, citing frail health and claiming the United Nations court in Africa would be biased against him, and possibly hand him over to Rwandan authorities.

France has long been known as a hiding place for wanted genocide suspects and French investigators currently have dozens of cases underway.

A plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana, from Rwanda's Hutu majority, was shot down in Kigali on April 6, 1994, unleashing the killing spree that would leave mainly Tutsis but also moderate Hutus dead.

Somalia's parliament ousted Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire in a no-confidence vote on Saturday, as a simmering power struggle between him and the president came to the fore.

Khaire and President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed have been tussling over whether to delay a national election due in February next year, with the prime minister insisting it go ahead and the president favouring postponement.

President Mohamed elevated the deputy Prime Minister Mahdi Mohamed Guled to prime minister in an acting capacity, a statement issued by his office said.

The president`s allies have also accused Khaire of failing to stabilise the security situation. Lawmakers voted 170-8 to remove Khaire from office.

"The government failed in its promise on the preparation of a clear plan for the one man, one vote election," said Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdirahman, the speaker of parliament, referring to the first direct election since civil war erupted in 1991.

The Horn-of-Africa country has been holding elections through representatives like elders in the past decade, due to insecurity caused by al Shabaab militants in most areas.

Mohamed Abukar Islow, the internal security minister and a key ally of Khaire, accused the speaker and the president of plotting to remove the prime minister to extend their terms.

"It is a dark day," Islow said, terming the move unconstitutional due to the requirement that an election be held every four years. Khaire, a former oil company executive, was not immediately available for a comment.

President Mohamed he had accepted the decision of lawmakers to remove Khaire, citing the need to preserve the unity of the various arms of government.

Rashid Abdi, an independent Horn of Africa analyst, said Khaire`s removal was inevitable because of differences with the president and the prime minister`s ambition to be president one day.

"What was surprising was the swiftness with which it was done. There was no debate or negotiations," Abdi told Reuters.
