UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s premiership is on the brink as he is set to face questions from senior lawmakers on 6th July, after a slew of ministers quit the parliament questioning his ability to govern.

After weeks of intense shelling resulting in the Luhansk province being firmly in Russia’s grasp, they are now setting their sights on the next target.

As Covid-19 cases rise, Singapore Ministry of Health curbs hospital and residential care home visits for a month, in an effort to protect healthcare workers and the vulnerable, starting Thursday, July 7th.

Twitter sues the Indian government in an effort to push back against PM Modi seeking more control over online content on the social media platform.

Some big news from the Tech industry is that Meta, although having decided not to move forward with its crypto payments wallet, Novi, will not completely get rid of it but plans to repurpose it.

Meanwhile, Google is doing a little postponing of its own — with KakaoTalk updates on its Play Store, possibly because the messaging app has refused to remove its own payment links, much to Google’s dismay.

Singapore and the United States on Monday (June 27) launched a program that will help women in the tech industries to build international contacts and expand their business overseas through networking, mentoring sessions and workshops.

Massachusetts–based American Robotics announced its plans to acquire Airobotics as both companies play similar roles within the broader industrial drone space.

South Korean AI chip developer Rebellions has raised a $22.8 million (30 billion KRW) extension to its Series A financing from a strategic investor KT, one of the largest telecom companies in South Korea.
