Thousands freed from online scam hubs in Myanmar

  • サマリー

  • Around 10,000 people, mostly foreigners, have been freed from telecom fraud operations in Myanmar in recent days. Lured by lucrative job offers, they had found themselves trapped in scam centres where they were forced to work swindling people around the world. The latest crackdown sheds light on the multi-billion-dollar illegal industry, which has flourished in Myanmar's lawless borderlands.

    Also on the show:

    Japan continues to grapple with a post-Covid influx of tourists. A lack of cultural understanding and sometimes outright bad behaviour have caused an uproar among locals.

    Scores of false killer whales have been put to death in Australia after they got stranded on a remote Tasmanian beach. Bad sea and weather conditions made it impossible to rescue them back into the ocean.

    In Muslim-majority Indonesia, the island of Flores is a bastion of Catholic faith. Our reporters visit the world's largest seminary there, which trains and sends out priests to serve all over the world.

    Finally, a Philippines village is offering bounties to people for capturing mosquitoes dead or alive, as the country faces an unexpected surge in dengue fever cases.
