Massive 11,000-carat ruby unearthed by miners in Myanmar, officials say

May 8, 2026 / 10:17 AM EDT / CBS News / AP

Miners in Myanmar have discovered a rare ruby of enormous size, considered to be the second-largest by weight ever found in the conflict-battered Southeast Asian nation, state media reported Friday.

The ruby, measuring 11,000 carats and 4.8 pounds, was unearthed near the town of Mogok, in the upper Mandalay region, the heartland of the lucrative gem-mining industry that has recently experienced intense fighting in the country’s wide-ranging civil war.

According to a report from the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar, the newly found rough ruby was discovered in mid-April, just after the traditional New Year festival.

While it weighs roughly half the weight of a 21,450-carat stone found in 1996, the new discovery is considered more valuable due to its superior color and quality. It is described as having a purplish-red hue with yellowish undertones, a high-quality color grade, moderate transparency and a highly reflective surface.

Myanmar produces as much as 90% of the world’s rubies, primarily from the areas of Mogok and Mong Hsu. Gemstones, both legitimately traded and smuggled, are a major source of revenue for Myanmar. Human rights activists and organizations such as the Britain-based research and lobbying group Global Witness have urged jewelers to stop purchasing gems sourced from Myanmar, as the industry has served as a vital revenue stream for its military governments over several decades.

A new, ostensibly civilian government was installed this year, but it followed elections described by human rights and opposition groups as a sham. The vote returned to power President Min Aung Hlaing, the army chief who led the most recent military takeover in 2021. He and his Cabinet recently examined the giant ruby at his office in the capital, Naypyitaw.

Gemstone mining also serves as a primary source of funding for ethnic armed groups fighting for autonomy, a factor that has helped fuel decades of internal conflict.

The security of these mining regions remains volatile. Mogok was captured in July 2024 by the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, or TNLA, a guerrilla force representing the Palaung ethnic minority. Although the TNLA took over and operated the mines, control was eventually transferred back to Myanmar’s army as part of a China-mediated ceasefire agreement concluded late last year.

（莫斯科／基辅综合电）俄罗斯和乌克兰星期五相互发动大规模袭击，这使莫斯科为举行胜利日纪念活动而单方面提出的停火难以落实。

俄方早前宣布，5月8日至9日实施胜利日停火，并警告若乌克兰在停火期间发动袭击，俄军将展开报复打击。不过，乌克兰未接受俄方的停火提议。

俄国防部星期五（5月8日）发声明称，乌军实施了1300多次违反停火协议的行动，包括无人机袭击和对边境地区进行炮击，并称俄军已通过“对等回应”进行报复打击。俄南部13座机场也因乌克兰无人机袭击空中交通管制中心的一座行政大楼而暂停运作。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基在社媒发文称，截至周五早上7时，俄军连夜发射了850多架无人机，对前线地区发动逾140次打击和10次突袭。

他说：“这些都清楚地表明，俄方甚至没有做出任何象征性的停火尝试……乌克兰今天也将予以同等回应。”

泽连斯基也呼吁俄罗斯盟友不要参加星期六（9日）的胜利日阅兵式。

他指俄方的停火提议，只不过是希望乌方能让他们安全地在红场上待一小时举行阅兵式，过后却继续展开杀戮。

俄罗斯本周两次誓言，如果阅兵式遭到袭击，将对基辅发动大规模空袭，并敦促基辅居民和外交官尽快撤离。

乌方消息人士说，泽连斯基将在基辅度周末。驻基辅的欧盟、英国和德国等外国使团则都发表声明，驳斥并谴责俄罗斯的威胁。

为缓解美国封锁冲击 伊朗转向铁路线从中国进口物资

2026年5月8日 20:21 / 联合早报

伊朗正加大力度通过铁路与中国进行贸易，以减轻美国封锁港口的影响，并适应旨在扼杀经济的压力。

彭博社引述知情人士说，自4月13日美国封锁开始以来，从中国中部城市西安开往伊朗首都德黑兰的货运列车数量，已从冲突前的每周一班左右增加到每三四天一班。

要求匿名的消息人士称，货运成本飙升，沿该路线运输一个标准40英尺集装箱本周的报价高达7000美元（8875新元），比通常水平高出约40%。

美国海军的行动大约三周前开始，阻止了德黑兰的大部分石油出口和进口重要粮食供应，伊朗经济已经出现紧张迹象，货币里亚尔汇率暴跌。

这条途经哈萨克斯坦（Kazakhstan）和土库曼斯坦（Turkmenistan）的路线，只能在一定程度上弥补美国封锁造成的冲击。这条铁路也加剧了伊朗对世界最大制造业国家中国的依赖，后者购买伊朗几乎所有的石油。

知情人士说，目前这种贸易基本是单向的，装满工业品和消费品的集装箱运往伊朗，其中包括汽车零部件、发电机和电子产品。伊朗官员曾表示，他们正考虑在某个阶段，利用铁路线出口石油化工产品和燃料等产品。

土耳其Silkroad-Avrasya Multimodal Logistics总经理阿尔坦·杜尔逊（Altan Dursun）说道：“以前这些列车有时几周都不运行，现在5月份的班次都已全部预订完毕。”该公司是一家专门从事与中国贸易的铁路货运预订代理机构。

杜尔逊补充说，目前正计划于6月进一步增加运力。他指出，每列从西安开出的火车大约可以运载50个标准40英尺集装箱，而一艘远洋集装箱船可以装载数千个。

伊朗伊斯兰共和国铁路公司未回应寻求评论的请求。

Ohio deputy who fatally shot Black man entering his grandmother’s house is convicted of reckless homicide

May 8, 2026 / 9:33 AM EDT / CBS/AP

A former sheriff’s deputy was found guilty of reckless homicide at trial Thursday for shooting a Black man who was bringing sandwiches to his grandmother’s house.

The killing of Casey Goodson Jr. by Jason Meade in December 2020 had provoked outrage in Ohio.

Trial jurors said they couldn’t agree on the more serious charge of murder, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial on that count.

Meade, who is White, said his shooting of Goodson — five times in the back and once in the side — was justified because he saw the 23-year-old holding a gun and turning toward him in the doorway of the house in Columbus. But no one else testified they saw Goodson holding the gun he was licensed to carry, and no cameras recorded the shooting.

This was Meade’s second murder trial after the first one ended in a mistrial two years ago. He is now the second White law enforcement officer to be convicted in the killing of a Black man in the state since the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minnesota sparked national protests.

Tamala Payne, Goodson’s mother, said the guilty verdict gives her family closure and peace. She previously told CBS News that she believed her son had been “murdered in cold blood.”

“I’m happy, I’m sad and I’m everywhere,” Payne told CBS affiliate WBNS. She said that to have Meade “convicted of something is still a great feeling.”

Meade had testified in the first trial that he pursued Goodson after the man waved a gun at him as they passed each other in their vehicles. According to his family and prosecutors, Goodson was holding a bag of Subway sandwiches in one hand and his keys in the other, and was listening to music through earbuds when he was killed.

Meade did not take the stand at his second trial.

Prosecutors also said the evidence suggests the gun wasn’t in his hands, but in a flimsy holder under his belt. They added it was found under his body, its safety mechanism still engaged, as Goodson laid mortally wounded on the kitchen floor of his grandmother’s house.

Meade, now 47, retired from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department in 2021. He’s also a Baptist pastor. His attorney cited Meade’s oral and written accounts of what happened, and said the shooting was justified.

Ohio law defines murder as the purposeful causing of a death, while the lesser charge of reckless murder means the defendant acted recklessly in causing a death. The former is punishable by up to life in prison, while the latter carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

Judge David Young set sentencing for July 16.

Prosecutors said they were pleased with the guilty verdict on the reckless homicide charge and haven’t decided yet whether to pursue a third trial on the murder charge — something Payne said she would like to see happen.

“Knowing that in the first trial, nine jurors wanted to convict him of murder, and (in) this trial, 10 jurors wanted to convict him of murder, there’s an overwhelming number of folks who hear this case and they understand that this was murder,” Sean Walton, the attorney for the Payne family, told WBNS.

Defense attorneys Mark Collins and Kaitlyn Stephens did not address the media afterward.

Following the verdict, Brian Steel, president and chief executive of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, said he respects the jury but was “disappointed” with the decision. He said he hopes the prosecutor’s office does not seek a retrial on the murder charge.

“This was long six years drawn out. This is the second trial. I hope they’re for the sake of not only the Meade family, the Goodson family and the community, I hope we don’t try to do a third trial on this murder charge,” Steel said.

Christopher Corne was driving nearby that day and testified for the prosecution at both trials. He said Goodson seemed to be dancing and singing in his truck shortly before the shooting. He also testified during the first trial that he did not see a gun in Goodson’s hand.

Columbus police Officer Samuel Rippey testified at the second trial that while he was administering emergency treatment to Goodson, he saw the gun, with an extended magazine, lying on the floor.

Goodson’s death provoked public outrage in Ohio as the killings of Black people by White officers increased demands for police reform following the killing of Floyd by a White police officer in Minneapolis.

Banners were hung from highway overpasses in Columbus, carrying messages such as “Justice for Casey Goodson Jr.” and “Convict Murderer Meade.” The judge ordered the banners taken down during the trial.

Previous Ohio prosecutions in such cases led to only one conviction — that of Columbus police officer Adam Coy, who was indicted on charges including murder in the 2020 killing of Andre Hill.

（雅加达彭博电）中东战争带来的石油供应冲击未消，厄尔尼诺现象接踵而至，各国气温飙升、天气干旱，食品成本随之上涨，亚洲面临新一轮通货膨胀威胁。

最新数据显示，受运输、物流和公用事业成本上升推动，亚洲大部分地区的通胀率已升至数年来的高位。涨幅最大的是菲律宾和巴基斯坦，分别飙到7.2%和11%。

下半年的厄尔尼诺现象会带来更干燥、更炎热的天气，进而推高食品成本，而亚洲食品市场容易受到价格冲击和实际收入缩水的压力，因此各国通胀压力可能加剧。

牛津经济研究院经济学家萨穆丁研判，2026年亚洲的食品通胀率会上升。“地缘政治风险、化肥市场中断以及气候不确定性的叠加，表明未来几个季度的整体食品通常风险可能继续居高不下。”

他指出，如果各国政府为保护国内粮食供应而实施出口限制，恐怕会加重这些威胁。

专家警告，食品价格的上行压力，可能要到今年下半年才会更加明显，因为近期中东冲突导致的化肥成本上涨，需要一些时间才能反映在食品价格上。

国际货币基金组织（IMF）预计，到明年，亚洲通胀率可能高出多达4个百分点；亚洲开发银行则将今年亚洲地区的居民消费价格（CPI）预测从3.6%上调至5.2%。

亚洲多国通胀形势不佳 新加坡目前保持稳定

印度尼西亚第一季经济增长加快至三年来的最高水平，但更强烈的厄尔尼诺干旱天气，可能带来下行风险，印尼经济活动或将放缓。

受厄尔尼诺现象影响，印度、越南及中国部分地区的水电发电量也在减少，可能因此更依赖煤炭和天然气，从而推高电价。

印度季风期的降雨对于国内农业产量至关重要。印度央行警告，若季风减弱，可能影响作物产量并推高食品价格。高温天气下，农民还可能被迫增加使用柴油驱动灌溉系统，并更频密开冷气，食品成本水涨船高。

经济相对更发达的亚洲国家也面临类似通胀压力。根据彭博经济研究，日本近期食品价格通胀虽然有所缓解，但主食大米的价格在3月仍上涨6.8%。食品价格高企或促使日本央行在厄尔尼诺现象到来之前，于6月就启动加息。

不过目前看来，在强劲人工智能驱动经济增长的新加坡，预计通胀可保持稳定。

US opens probe into startup Avride self-driving crashes in Texas

WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is opening an ​investigation into a series of crashes involving startup Avride’s autonomous vehicles that ‌raised questions about their performance.

NHTSA said the vehicles’ behavior may indicate excessive assertiveness and insufficient capability, which “may also constitute traffic safety violations”. Some of the crashes resulted in property damage ​and one reported minor injury.

NHTSA said the vehicles had executed lane ​changes into other vehicles and failed to avoid vehicles or objects ⁠in the road, resulting in crashes.

NHTSA noted that Avride operates some of its ​AVs on Uber’s (UBER.N) platform and has offered passenger services in Dallas since December, ​where many of the incidents occurred. NHTSA cited 16 crashes of concern.

Avride said it welcomes “the opportunity to provide the agency with a deeper understanding of our safety protocols and technology.” It ​added that in all cases “the vehicle was under the supervision of a trained ​safety operator on board. In most cases, the vehicle was traveling at low speeds and ‌many ⁠of the events were precipitated by the actions of other road users.”

The company said it has “implemented targeted technical and operational mitigations to address our findings from each reported incidents.”

Avride, which uses Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 platform, said last month it has ​a fleet of 200 ​vehicles and is ⁠adding dozens more each month.

NHTSA has opened several investigations into self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems in recent years.

The ​agency said a preliminary review of crash videos showed instances ​of vehicles ⁠changing lanes into the path of others, failing to slow or stop for traffic ahead, and striking stationary objects partially blocking lanes.

The investigation will assess the scope ⁠and severity ​of potential problems and risks to passengers ​and other road users, including technical and operational factors and safeguards.

Uber and Hyundai (005380.KS) did not immediately respond ​to requests for comment.

朝鲜加速常规武器现代化 新型155毫米自行火炮射程瞄准首尔

2026年5月8日 21:14 / 联合早报

朝鲜在宪法中删除“祖国统一”等表述、正式制度化“敌对两国”路线后，随即展开针对韩国的军事威慑行动，不仅宣布今年内将在边境部署射程覆盖首尔的新型155毫米自行平曲射炮，还由领导人金正恩携女儿金珠爱登上新型驱逐舰，在西海北方界线（NLL）附近展示作战能力。分析认为，朝鲜正通过修宪与军事行动同步推进，对韩施压的同时加快常规武器现代化。

朝中社周五（5月8日）报道，金正恩周三（6日）视察重要军需企业时，检查了今年内将部署至前线部队的新型155毫米自行平曲射炮生产情况。朝鲜媒体称，该武器具备“极高机动性和火力打击能力”，射程已突破60公里。外界将它称为“朝鲜版K9自行火炮”。

分析认为，若部署于军事分界线附近，首尔及首都圈大部分地区都将被纳入直接打击范围。金正恩还明确要求，今年内将该武器部署至“南部边境”远程炮兵部队，被解读为对韩国首都圈释放更强烈军事威慑信号。

同一天，金正恩还视察了装甲武器研究所及军工企业生产的新型主战坦克、发射车等装备，并强调要“以最尖端水平完成技术改造，建立现代化生产与管理体系”。

朝鲜随后于周四（7日）再次公开军事活动。朝中社报道，金正恩携女儿金珠爱登上即将服役的5000吨级新型驱逐舰“崔贤”号，视察机动性能综合评估试验，并下令于下月中旬正式移交海军。金珠爱不仅站在甲板纪念照中央，还陪同军官聚餐，进一步凸显其“白头血统”象征意义。

庆南大学远东问题研究所教授林乙出说，金珠爱频繁陪同视察战略武器，具有“接班人教育”意味，而“崔贤”号试验则显示朝鲜正以军事力量支撑修宪后的“敌对两国”路线。

韩军与专家认为，朝鲜近期密集公开新型武器，反映它正在系统推进常规战力升级。

韩国国防安全论坛秘书长申钟宇说，朝鲜现役自行火炮大多仍采用手动操作方式，而此次公开的新型自行火炮，可能已实现自动化升级，并通过强化炮身结构提升远程炮击能力。

他指出，继核导力量之后，朝鲜近期又在坦克、自行火炮等核心常规武器体系上接连展示现代化成果，同时也试图借此对外展现新型武器的量产能力。

事实上，俄乌战争后，朝鲜常规武器升级步伐明显加快。去年10月阅兵式上，朝鲜首次公开155毫米自行平曲射炮；今年3月又公开新型坦克“天马-20”训练画面。分析认为，朝鲜持续展示新型常规武器，意在强化对首尔及首都圈核心设施的“精密打击”能力。
