00:53Former Senator Sonny Trillanes files another set of plunder and graft complaints against

01:03This time, Trillanes files the complaints over the alleged anomalous government frigate

01:07acquisition project amounting to 16 billion pesos.

01:10The allegations stem from Trillanes' allegation that Duterte and the other respondents allegedly

01:15pushed for the installation of a combat management system into two military frigates which were

01:20inferior to what was originally specified in the government contract.

01:24He alleges the government officials acted with evident bad faith and gave unwarranted

01:28benefits and advantages to a private contractor.

01:31Trillanes says the complaint is based on the findings of a 2018 Senate probe and on testimonies

01:36of officials privy to the manipulation.

01:45The health office in Iloilo province struck controversy by using Filipino gymnast Carlos

01:49Yulo and his two gold medals in the Paris Olympics to promote its family planning and

01:54vasectomy campaign.

01:55An ad by the Iloilo Provincial Health Office says it will offer free vasectomies to, quote,

02:00all Ilongos named Carlos, including their friends.

02:03This quickly made the rounds on social media where it was greeted with a chorus of jeers,

02:07laughter, and bewilderment.

02:09Online users point out the irony of choosing a young and unmarried athlete as a model for

02:14vasectomy.

02:15The backlash was swift and fierce, prompting the IPHO to delete the post and replace it

02:19with another ad.

02:25Veteran actor Nino Mulac turns emotional at a Senate hearing as he recalls his son Sandro's

02:30reaction after allegedly being sexually harassed by two high-ranking GMA Network creative personnel.

02:53incident.

02:54The National Bureau of Investigation says Sandro was advised to refrain from using social

02:58media and limit his public exposure.

03:05the incident allegedly happened after the GMA gala on July 20.

03:09GMA says it has initiated its own investigation.

03:15Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota

03:31He is Sergeant Major Walz.

03:34To his former high school students, he was Mr. Walz.

03:37And to his former high school football players, he was Coach.

03:45Walz goes after the Republican rivals.

03:47And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump.

03:54That's not even counting the crimes he committed.

03:56On reproductive rights and abortion, Walz says...

03:59In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make.

04:08Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule, mind your

04:12own damn business.

04:15British police charge a 17-year-old boy with the murder of three young girls aged six to

04:20nine in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift yoga and dance workshop.

04:24Eight other children bore stab wounds, with five in critical condition, along with two

04:28adults.

04:29Disturbances broke out in the northwest town of Southport on Tuesday after false information

04:33was spread on social media that the suspect behind the stabbings was a radical Islamist

04:38migrant.

04:39Police say the suspect was born in Britain and it was not an act of terrorism.

05:09riding an electric scooter while under the influence.

05:12Soompi reports Suga is charged with violating South Korea's Road Traffic Act on drunk driving.

05:18Suga then rides on fandom platform Weverse.

05:20He rode the electric scooter home after having a drink during dinner Tuesday night.

05:25The rapper continues, he fell while parking the scooter in front of his house so a nearby

05:28police officer conducted a breathalyzer test.

05:31Although there are no victims or damaged facilities, he was fined and his license was cancelled.

05:36BTS' agency, Big Hit Music, also apologizes, saying Suga will receive the appropriate disciplinary

05:42action.

05:43The K-pop star is currently undergoing mandatory military service as a public service worker.

05:49He enlisted in March.

05:51All the members of BTS are expected to regroup by 2025.
