Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte: I will declare martial law if I want to. Nobody can stop me

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on 15 January that he will declare martial law if the drug problem worsens. Duterte has led a brutal war on drugs since he took office, with an estimated 6,000 people being killed in the anti-drug campaign in police operations and unexplained killings by suspected vigilantes. The Philippines endured a decade of martial law from the early 1970s, and memories of campaigns to restore democracy and protect human rights are fresh in the minds of many people. Jan 16, 2017

Sea Shepherd films Japanese whalers catching rare whale illegally

The anti-whaling activists of Sea Shepherd claim they have filmed Japanese whalers killing in Australia’s Antarctic whale sanctuary. A video filmed from a helicopter shows a dead mink on deck of a Japanese whaling ship. The crew reportedly tried to hide the whale by covering it with a tarpaulin. In 2015, the Japanese fleet was found guilty of killing whales in Australia’s sanctuary and fined $1m. Japan is ignoring a worldwide moratorium on whale hunting using the excuse of scientific research. Jan 15, 2017
