Ousted Thai leader Yingluck Shinawatra appeared before the Supreme Court to proclaim her innocence at the start of her show trial.  The unelected military junta accuses Yingluck of dereliction of duty and criminal negligence for her role in a rice subsidy scheme that critics claim ran in the red.  “I am confident that I am innocent and I hope the court will give me justice and allow everything to proceed in accordance with the law,” Yingluck told reporters.

Australia will not renew the residency visa of a high profile member of the Bandidos bookie gang.  UK-born Daniel Roach is believed to be in Thailand, and thought he was going to return to Oz.  That’s not going to happen.  “Where I have evidence of people acting against the national interest, or not contributing to Australian society in a way that we would want people to contribute, then we'll act to cancel those visas wherever that's possible,” said Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.

Unlike Mr. Roach, three Australians who went to the Middle East to join Islamic State might be coming home – but they will more than likely go straight to jail and face charges.  All three men have reportedly grown disillusioned with the jihadist lifestyle, what with all of the shooting, bombings, and beheadings.  Authorities are understandable concerned that once they get here, they’ll commit terrorist acts against Australia.  But at least one – reportedly a trained medic from VIC – is willing to face charges and prison.

Prince Charles and Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness will meet in Galway later today, one of the first things the Prince does when he begins his visit to Ireland.  It will be the first time one of the Royals meets with the Sinn Fein leadership in the Republic of Ireland.  “This was agreed to promote the process of resolving past injustices and promoting reconciliation and healing,” said party chairman Declan Kearney.  Previously, Marty met with and shook the hand of the Queen in Belfast in 2013.  Prince Charles will also visit the pond where his uncle Lord Mountbatten was killed by the IRA in 1979.

The cartoonist Luz is leaving the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.  Renald Luzier said he considered leaving some time ago, but stayed out of solidarity after the terrorist attack in January in which twelve of his coworkers were murdered.  However since then, he says that his job had become “too much to bear” following the deaths of his colleagues.  Luz designed the cover image of the edition that appeared on newsstands around the world after the massacre.  It featured an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad shedding a tear, holding a sign saying “Je Suis Charlie”, beneath the headline “All is forgiven”.

The architect of Japan’s apology for World War II war crimes is urging Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to follow his lead on the 70th anniversary of the end of the Pacific War.  91-year old former Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama accuses Abe of getting ready to “dilute” the namesake 1995 Murayama Statement, which all other PMs have stood by.  Murayama criticized Abe for his campaign to revise the country’s pacifist constitution to allow for more military missions with the US as “really dangerous.”

Authorities in Chile are investigating about 1,300 dead seabirds that turned up on a beach in the southern town of Lenga, a cove with several hundred inhabitants who live mainly on fishing and tourism.  The bodies are in poor condition, and their species and even family are not clear – possibly petrels of cormorants, according to authorities.  The country's Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) is running tests for a biological cause, such as bird flu.

Chinese zookeepers shot and killed a lion after it killed a keeper and then got loose from its cage, roaming around the Taian Tiger Mountain Park in Shandong, south of Beijing.  The 65-year old man was cleaning the lion’s enclosure when the beast bit him on the neck and shoulders.  From there, it roamed the Zoo grounds for an hour, forcing officials to evacuate the early morning crowd.  Eventually, witnesses heard a series of shots ringing out.  A Chinese newsportal describes the Taian Tiger Mountain Park as dirty and substandard, with rusty, dilapidated exhibits.
