To improve looks and artificially making their features look better, teenagers have been using filters on social media platforms to alter their real look. The billion-user social media company, TikTok, is now imposing several restrictions on the use of beauty filters due to rise in anxiety concerns and falling self-esteem.&nbsp;

In the upcoming weeks, teenagers will be restricted from artificially making their eyes bigger, plumping their lips, and smoothing or changing their face tone.&nbsp;

These restrictions will be applied to filters, including&nbsp;'Bold Glamour'&nbsp;that changes people's features in a way that makeup cannot.&nbsp;

However, comic filters that add dog's ears, noses, or bunny ears would not be affected.&nbsp;

TikTok announced this change during a safety forum at its European headquarters in Dublin.&nbsp;

Moreover, the efficacy of these restrictions will depend on the people using the social media platform with their real age, which is not exactly the case always.&nbsp;

These filters on such platforms, some provided by TikTok, meanwhile, others created by users, have caused pressure on teenagers, specifically girls, to adopt a polished physical appearance with negative emotional repercussions.&nbsp;

Earlier, TikTok also announced that they were bringing changes in their systems to block users under 13 from the platform, which could potentially remove thousands of British children from accessing the platform.&nbsp;

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) recommended judges Wednesday (Nov. 27) to issue an arrest warrant for Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, the head of Myanmar’s military regime.

Hlaing is accused of committing crimes against Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslim minority since he overthrew the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in a 2021 coup.

"After an extensive, independent and impartial investigation, my office has concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe that senior general and acting president Min Aung Hlaing ... bears criminal responsibility for crimes against humanity," the top prosecutor, Karim Khan, said in a statement.

He added that the atrocities against Rohingya community were carried out with the help of armed forces, the Tatmadaw, and national and border police "as well as non-Rohingya citizens".

The probe into the violence against the Rohingya community was launched in 2019 following the&nbsp;massive displacement of over 750,000 people from the restive Rakhine state in 2016 and 2017. Over a million people now call Bangladesh’s Cox's Bazaar their home, who accuse the Myanmar military of mass killings and rapes.

Karim Khan said he would ask for more warrants for people involved in the actions carried out with "genocidal intent".

"In doing so, we will be demonstrating, together with all of our partners, that the Rohingya have not been forgotten. That they, like all people around the world, are entitled to the protection of the law," he added.

Following the recommendation, a panel of three judges will now see if there are “reasonable grounds” for issuing the arrest warrant. The decision is expected within next three months.

It is to be noted that Myanmar is not a member of the ICC treaty, meaning that the country won’t have any legal obligation to act against Hlaing even if an arrest warrant is issued.

An investigation has been launched against the Chinese Defence Minister&nbsp;Dong&nbsp;Jun as part of an anti-corruption probe, according to The Financial Times report.

As per the report, the investigation is part of a broader probe into China's military corruption.&nbsp;

Jun is&nbsp;the third defence minister of China in a row to fall under investigation for corruption.&nbsp;

He was appointed as defence minister in December 2023, just after Li Shangfu was&nbsp;removed from the post after serving for seven months.&nbsp;

Over the past year, the Chinese government has intensified its crackdown on alleged graft in the country's military.&nbsp;

According to a Bloomberg report, US officials said the crackdown has been intensified as the country fears that corruption could affect China's ability to wage a war.&nbsp;

Last week, Jun declined to speak with&nbsp;US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during a meeting of defence ministers to discuss US actions over Taiwan.&nbsp;

As China's defence minister, Jun oversees the country's military diplomacy with other countries worldwide.&nbsp;

Constant sneezing and a runny nose led a man in China to get himself checked. To his surprise, he found that a dice had been lodged in his nasal cavity for more than 20 years. However, he had been experiencing symptoms for only about a month. The 23-year-old, known as Xiaoma from Xian, Shanxi province, suffered from chronic sneezing, congestion, and a constant runny nose, Bailu Video reported.

He tried to treat himself at home but the problem continued. He used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which did not help. So he sought medical help at Xian Gaoxin Hospital.

The clinic's medical records show that there he was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. The doctors also noted the presence of a foreign object in his nasal passage. To identify what it was, a nasal endoscopy was conducted by Yang Rong, an otolaryngologist. Everyone was shocked to see a dice lodged in his nasal cavity.

“During the nasal endoscopy, we discovered a foreign object – a white lump coated with secretions. Upon extraction, it turned out to be a two-cm dice," Yang said.&nbsp;

<h2>Dice had gotten stuck to the tissues</h2>

The dice was&nbsp;partially corroded because of being lodged in his nasal cavity for a long time. "It was located in the lower nasal passage, causing damage to the nasal mucosa,” Yang explained.

Xiaoma was stumped to find a dice in his nose. He said that it might have entered his nose when he was about three or four years old. However, he isn't sure how it got there. The procedure to remove it was complicated as over the years, the dice had stuck itself to the surrounding tissues.&nbsp;

Any mishandling would have led to the dice falling into his airway which could have caused suffocation.

The doctors performed surgery to remove the dice, which finally left Xiaoma's body after almost 20 years.

Social media users were shocked to learn about the strange problem, with some wondering how a dice went up a three-year-old's nose.&nbsp;

In early November,&nbsp;the administration of the all-women Dongduk Women's University in Seoul announced plans that would potentially make it a co-ed institution. The plan was to start adding male students to two departments.

The students went into protest on November 11, occupying the main building and accusing the varsity of not taking their views on the move.

The female students have been boycotting classes, with hundreds of them rallying in protest, prompting police action.

Amid all this ruckus, a man was arrested and two others were investigated for sneaking into the campus grounds.

"Although the university isn’t a perfect haven, we have felt free inside the university campus, and getting rid of a safe space where women can freely express their opinions goes against the founding purposes of the university," NextShark website quoted Lee Song Yi, co-chair of Dongduk’s emergency committee, as saying.

According to the university, the protest caused damages worth up to 5.44 billion won, or $3.9 million, said the report.

According to a report on the website universityworldnews.com,&nbsp;student councils from five of the seven women’s universities in South Korea held solidarity protests against co-education. 
 
A similar protest is taking place in Sungshin Women's University in Seoul over its plan to admit international male students into a new department, as mentioned in its admission guidelines for 2025. The document said applications for the international school were 'open to all genders.'&nbsp;

The female students are citing violence against women on campuses, as well as in the larger South Korean society, which is considered traditionally male-dominated.&nbsp;

Writing for the Korea Herald, Choi Jeong-yoon said, "The debate over the schools' potential transition to coeducation has revealed broader issues facing women’s universities in South Korea, caught between the challenges of a demographic crisis and persistent gender bias."

And that bias was out on display already.

South Korean politician Lee Jun-seok from the Reform Party condemned the protests.
