00:13Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa says he plans to open a probe into former President Rodrigo

00:17Duterte's drug war, which he himself implemented.

00:21A post on social media platform X falsely claims Apollo Kibuloy's cases in the United

00:25States had been dismissed.

00:28Voters in Georgia turn out in record numbers as the battleground state opens early voting

00:32for the November 5 presidential election.

00:35New Jeans member Hani makes an emotional appeal before the South Korean parliament for better

00:39treatment of the K-pop industry's artists.

00:43And the Victoria's Secret fashion show hits the runway after a five-year hiatus.

00:49Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa says he plans to open a probe into former President Rodrigo

00:53Duterte's drug war, which he himself implemented.

00:57This after retired police colonel Roina Garma directly implicated Duterte in drug war killings

01:02during a hearing by the House Quad Committee.

01:05As Duterte's first police chief, de la Rosa authorized and oversaw the drug war's first

01:09salvo.

01:10He says there's a better chance of Duterte attending his probe because the former president

01:14is more comfortable with the Senate than with the House.

01:17Besides de la Rosa, Duterte's closest aide Bong Goh is also a senator, and he earlier

01:22said he would launch a Senate probe into the drug war.

01:25De la Rosa is under investigation by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes

01:29against humanity in the drug war and in other extrajudicial killings in Davao City when

01:33Duterte was mayor.

01:37A post on social media platform X falsely claims Apolo Kibuloy's cases in the United

01:41States had been dismissed.

01:43It cites an October 10 post from the official SMNI News X account stating a US court dismissed

01:49human trafficking, forced labor, and money laundering cases against a KOJC leader.

01:54What the KOJC leader SMNI refers to is not Kibuloy, but Marisa Duenas, one of Kibuloy's

01:59co-accused in some of his cases.

02:02Duenas entered into a plea deal on October 7 in the US.

02:05She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the US government in exchange for a reduction

02:09in her sentence.

02:11She has been identified as an administrator of KOJC's operations and a human resource

02:15manager in the US.

02:17The US Federal Bureau of Investigation still lists Kibuloy among its most wanted.

02:24Voters in Georgia turn out in record numbers as the battleground state opened early voting

02:28for the November 5 presidential election.

02:31State officials say Tuesday, October 15, at least 252,000 voters cast ballots at early

02:37voting sites as of 4 p.m. EDT.

02:40This is nearly double the 136,000 who participated in the first day of early voting in 2020.

02:46Georgia is one of the seven battleground states expected to play a decisive role in the election

02:51between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

02:54Early voting, either in person or by mail, has become increasingly popular with US voters.

03:00University of Florida's Election Lab reports nearly one in seven voters cast their ballots

03:04ahead of Election Day in 2020.

03:07Election Lab also says nationwide, 5.5 million Americans already voted this year.

03:12But by contrast, 27 million people had cast their ballots at this point in 2020.

03:19K-pop star Hani of the group New Genes makes an emotional appeal before the South Korean

03:23parliament for better treatment of the industry's artists.

03:26The 20-year-old Vietnamese-Australian singer tells parliament Tuesday, October 15, she

03:31hopes K-pop trainees are spared from the workplace bullying she experienced.

03:35Complaints of high pressure and bullying have hounded the K-pop industry for years, sparking

03:40calls for companies to better protect their artists.

03:43New Genes is in the middle of a clash between executives of its parent label HYBE and the

03:47former CEO of its subsidiary Adore, which manages the group.

03:51Hani tells the parliament's labor committee a series of actions at the workplace made

03:55the group feel they were hated by the company.

03:58Adore CEO Kim Joo-young tells the hearing she is reviewing the situation but has yet

04:02to find proof to establish Hani's claims.

04:05A former Adore CEO earlier accused HYBE of sabotaging New Genes.
