South Australia's gambling regulator said on Friday it would commission an independent review of Skycity Entertainment's Adelaide casino, after probes in other states found shortcomings at rivals Crown Resorts and Star Entertainment. Casino operators in Australia have been dogged by damning reports of shirking anti-money laundering rules, dysfunctional governance and poor corporate culture, while COVID-19 curbs eroded their profits in the last two years. Several matters raised in inquiries in other states "extend beyond any one organisation and point instead to broader systemic issues within the casino industry", said Dini Soulio, South Australia's liquor and gambling commissioner.
A cabinet minister has refused to be drawn on the future of a Tory MP who allegedly groped two men, as Labour demands he is kicked out the party. Wales Secretary Simon Hart told Sky News he was "very sad" about the situation, but insisted it was for the Conservative chief whip to make a decision over the future of Chris Pincher. Mr Pincher, 52, resigned from his role as deputy chief whip after admitting he had drunk "far too much" and "embarrassed myself and other people" on a night out.
NEW DELHI (AP) — India banned some single-use or disposable plastic products Friday as part of a federal plan to phase out the ubiquitous material in the nation of nearly 1.4 billion people. For the first stage, it has identified 19 plastic items that aren't very useful but have a high potential to become litter and makes it illegal to produce, import, stock, distribute or sell them. These items range from plastic cups and straws to ice cream sticks. Some disposable plastic bags will also be pha

Czechs have long gathered at village pubs to catch up with friends or celebrate special occasions in a nation famed for its beer culture, but soaring costs and belt-tightening by patrons have now left many watering holes fighting for survival. Like other pubs across the country, U Kryslu in the village of Sec, population 318, is suffering from a plunge in income as customers cut back on leisure spending - the latest blow to establishments struggling to rebound from pandemic lockdowns. "In many villages and maybe even in ours the pub will cease to exist," said Sec Mayor Helena Chytra, who is seeking a new operator for U Kryslu, where on a recent visit only one customer was sipping a beer while the bartender checked his phone.
On Thursday, The Late Late Show’s host James Corden visited the White House where he helped out in the kitchen and dealt with all the pesky White House reporters in the Briefing Room.But most importantly, he offered his help to President Joe Biden, who was kind enough to show him around the Oval Office. Corden offered to sell some of the art and memorabilia in the Oval Office. He told the president, “A lot of this stuff is worth a lot of money.” The president replied, “You are getting me mixed up with the last president.” While former U.S. President Donald Trump probably didn’t find the joke amusing, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson likely appreciated something else Biden said. “Wish I had his hair,” Biden admitted. “I could have gotten elected sooner.” In a head to head competition, Johnson’s hair is objectively fuller. But when it comes to wearing a pair of sunglasses, nobody can compete with the 46th president of the United States - as Corden learned when he was gifted a pair of the president’s signature aviator glasses.

JERUSALEM (AP) — At a tourism conference in Phuket last month, Thailand’s prime minister looked out at attendees and posed a question with a predictable answer. “Are you ready?” Prayuth Chan-ocha asked, dramatically removing his mask and launching what's hoped to be the country's economic reset after more than two years of coronavirus-driven restrictions. When the crowd yelled its answer — yes, according to local media — it might have been speaking for the entire pandemic-battered world. But a f
