Australian fugitive reappears<\/em><\/p>\n

When his bank Nugan Hand collapsed and his associate Frank Nugan was found dead in 1980<\/a>, Michael Hand disappeared and a coroner concluded that he\u2019d died. However, one of Australia\u2019s most-wanted fugitives has been found alive and well in the US. It\u2019s difficult to gauge the interest of Australian authorities in pursuing Hand, with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission yet to confirm if it\u2019s in the public interest to take action<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news comes at a time when given increased social media use and law enforcement\u2019s use of surveillance, faking your death online is harder than it used to be<\/a>, according to Motherboard.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vancouver Police to Defence Minister<\/em><\/p>\n

Incoming Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has been praised for forming a Cabinet reflecting the country\u2019s diversity<\/a>. We\u2019re particularly impressed with the credentials of the new Minister of National Defence, the Hon. Harjit Singh Sajjan<\/a>. In addition to a distinguished military career<\/a>, Sajjan served as an officer with Vancouver Police, where he tackled drugs, gangs and organised crime. Sajjan is certain to bring a fresh perspective to the Defence portfolio.<\/p>\n

The Cop at the End of the World <\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this year we brought you a report<\/a> on Birdsville, one of the largest beats in the country that\u2019s policed by only one officer. As Senior Constable Neale McShane retires, Andrew McMillan\u2019s report<\/a> offers a fascinating insight into how officers police some of the most remote places on earth and meet the individual needs of unique communities.<\/p>\n

Rising extremism in Bangladesh <\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a lot of analysis<\/a> recently about the rising levels of extremism in Bangladesh. In this recent article for The Heritage Foundation, Lisa Curtis examines Why the Extremist Threat in Bangladesh Needs to be taken Seriously<\/a>, exploring the recent rise in extremist violence, the growing political polarisation in Bangladesh, and what steps the international community can take to get a handle on the growing extremist threat. Sanjay Kumar in The Diplomat<\/em> also takes a look<\/a> at the increase of extremism in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Foreign Fighters: Low Probability, High Risk<\/em><\/p>\n

A new report<\/a> from the International Centre for Counter Terrorism<\/a> looks at the impact of foreign fighters on Western European societies. The authors conclude that foreign fighters in this region are primarily a social and political threat rather than a physical threat\u2014or a \u2018low probability, high impact\u2019 threat.<\/p>\n

The Rebel Alliance: Freedom fighters or terrorists?<\/em><\/p>\n

A hard-hitting piece this week from Charles Camosy in The Age<\/em> examines the thorniest question of them all: Were the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars Freedom Fighters or Terrorists?<\/a><\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s \u2018tough\u2019 border approach <\/em><\/p>\n

The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA)\u2014a US-based think tank\u2014released a new report<\/a> (PDF) examining the increased enforcement at Mexico\u2019s southern border. Its key findings<\/a> show that the most notable effect of Mexico\u2019s crackdown has been on how Central American migrants travel, rather than serving to deter them. Raids to prevent migrants from riding atop cargo trains has forced migrants and smugglers to rely on different transportation methods and routes, which exposes them to new vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Wearable hi-tech that can detect nuclear threats <\/em><\/p>\n

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced<\/a> that it will equip its frontline personnel (Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, and Transportation Security Administration) with wearable radiation detector devices that can passively monitor the environment and alert users when nuclear or other radioactive material is present. The technology, known as Human Portable Tripwire (HPT), includes communication features that will allow users to seek additional technical assistance if needed. To know why Americans fear a dirty bomb, read this War on the Rocks<\/em> piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australia and China joint by the Antarctic <\/em><\/p>\n

Antarctic researchers from Australia and China signed a trans-national pact<\/a> allowing the two countries to share data used to forecast sea-ice conditions. This is the second agreement between both counties aiming to enhance conservation and food security in the Southern Ocean, a resource-rich region, which represents about 10% of the Earth’s surface and approximately 15% of the world\u2019s ocean area. The announcement comes only days before the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)<\/a> releases here<\/a> (this Friday) its preliminary version of its annual report, following its 34th meeting held in Hobart last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
