Of these, 21 reported annual earnings over 100 million won ($72,200), with one child under five among the top earners. Real estate and rental businesses dominate the list.

CCTV footage reportedly shows cash-counting staff hiding donations in their clothes, pockets and shoes.

Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has pledged to personally seek clemency from Saudi Arabia's king for Anojan Sivarasa, a young Tamil migrant worker reportedly sentenced to death over a Facebook comment deemed insulting to Islam. Sivarasa, originally handed five years in prison and a hefty fine, saw his sentence escalate to death after an appeal, his family says. The case stems from a heated online dispute during a Hindu pilgrimage. Sri Lanka's government is now pursuing both legal and diplomatic channels to save him.

Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned Pakistan's Charge d'Affaires in Kabul, lodging a formal protest over airstrikes in Kunar and Paktika that it says violated Afghan sovereignty and territorial integrity. While Pakistan claims the strikes killed 28 militants, Kabul insists three civilians died, calling the claims baseless and urging Islamabad to address its own internal security issues instead. The UN has documented over 1,100 civilian deaths from cross-border violence in Afghanistan this year alone, as this now-familiar diplomatic standoff repeats itself.

The famous green-marble UN podium has witnessed decades of diplomatic drama, from fiery walkouts to fist-banging outbursts. Now it's Trump's turn again, as he addresses the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, right after Brazil's Lula, who's expected to warn Trump against interfering in Brazil's elections. With the Iran war nearing its eighth month, Trump's speech will be closely watched, alongside sideline meetings with Gulf leaders, Zelensky, and Iran's Pezeshkian, at what could be one of UNGA's most consequential weeks yet.

Lithuania has pushed back against any EU softening on Belarus, insisting it's "not the time" to ease sanctions, even as Trump pressures Vilnius to reopen Belarusian potash transit through its Klaipeda port. Trump says the US is working on a "massive deal" to buy Belarusian potash for less than it currently pays Canada, escalating tensions with Ottawa. Lithuania's Foreign Minister maintains there are "no ways, means, or reasons" to reconsider sanctions, given Belarus's role in aiding Russia's war on Ukraine.

North Korea has moved beyond simple missile testing, fusing drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and rocket launchers into one coordinated strike force. Saturday's drill combined five artillery and missile units, firing simultaneously to overwhelm enemy air defences, with KCNA claiming "100% accuracy" (unverified). Notably, Kim Jong Un wasn't present. The exercise came a day after US-South Korea-Japan wrapped up trilateral drills, and despite Trump scaling back joint exercises to court Kim diplomatically, Pyongyang shows no sign of slowing down.

PM Giorgia Meloni has announced sweeping new school measures: a ban on burqas and niqabs, a cap on foreign students per class, and mandatory Italian lessons for parents of struggling foreign students. "You must go to school with your face uncovered," Meloni said, framing it as protecting integration. Non-Italian students already make up 11.6% of Italy's school population. The move comes as Meloni, ahead of 2027 elections, faces a growing challenge from an even further-right rival party.

Even as AI industry leaders, including Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk, call for a global slowdown, Trump is doubling down. He announced plans to create an "AI Force," modeled on Space Force, to hunt for "BAD" actors, and said he'll soon name a new "AI czar." Trump called safety concerns a "hoax," insisting he won't "hinder or stifle" the industry, framing AI as key to competing with China even as public and expert alarm keeps growing.

Led by water policy expert Debesh Belbase, the team includes specialists in hydrology, glaciology, geology, remote sensing and disaster risk reduction.

Key demands include ending hostilities on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian assets, and lifting the U.S. naval blockade.
